I think the focus on examples and common configs is quite good.

As I see it, properly understanding the design of the tool should be documentation provided by the tool itself, since that keeps it in sync with changes.

I do think what would be useful is 1 article explaining the different bits of how Linux fits together (or just point to articles). I think something explaining the how the various composition points (e.g. filesystems, boot loaders,daemons and periodic jobs etc.) fit together would be quite useful.
What next EU? New law to mandate using space over tabs? How do I send my suggestions?
I suspect this could apply to UI design (ok UX...) but I read it with product design / industrial design in mind. I worked on a project with a really good design team (2 or 3 people) and a bunch of engineers. We used a large conference room to go over the product objectives, and then we all paired up with designers to generate concept art. We all did this for like an hour or two. At the end they pinned up about 50 concept drawings at the front of the room and we talked about a lot of the ideas that had been generated. The thing turned out pretty spectacular. The lead designer moved on, last I knew he had gone to Rivian to work on their first truck under the direction of some famous design guy whose name escapes me just now.
> since they can be used with multiple devices (due to such regulations) you need to buy fewer of them too.

I’ve seen this argument a few times “yay now I only have to take one cable on holiday”. Sure, unless you want to charge two devices at once while you’re sleeping, perhaps… it’s an unrelated argument to which connector is better.
I haven't gotten to that stage yet. But I think it's difficult to hire good devs for all stacks, be it Python, Ruby, JS. Clojure community is super friendly and full of very talented developers and I'd love to pay someone to write Clojure :).

Yes, remote work for sure is an edge when hiring!

Great stuff! I know the ClickHouse team and they are world class. If you're more familiar with a relational database some things will feel weird. For example, you should not insert 1 row at a time, there's over 1,000 built-in functions, and the default connection is often over HTTPS, but not 443.

True, but such selfish motives can be generic (e.g. personal glory) - and if directed into scientific endeavours can still result in genuinely passionate enquiry.
Slightly unrelated to the OP but are there any e-ink displays today that are responsive enough to use for a basic command line Linux display? I really like the idea of having a device similar to think but with e-ink only to use as a minimal terminal - something like the MNT Pocket Reform but with e-ink...
Get your head out of your ass. Jimmy-and-bear stories are for little children, it's just some weak strawman here. You keep saying I'm wrong, but can't get to the point of why. The theft/death comparison is absurd because theft and death are two different things.

If you wanna own a gun, great, but the regulations should be extreme - just like anything else hazardous, like motorized vehicles.

Homeopathy usually refers to the claims that dilution of an herb makes the medical effects stronger, which is ridiculous. That poster wasn't denying that herbal medicine could be useful, as many herbs do have chemicals that are biologically active.
This existed as a massive data-leak for a really long time. The "API" didn't have any meaningful protection, and the service was opt-in.

It was really easy to download flyby exports for any activity and do analysis.

I had a script downloading my Strava recordings of my commute and the associated fly-by data and was easily able to figure out all of the people I was seeing on the way to/from work. Since it linked to the activities and included profile pictures and names, you could easily figure out a lot.

If I remember correctly, you could still see fly-bys of other peoples' rides even if your own was private or followers-only.

It was a pretty massive oversight for a company like Strava - and a bit of an eye opener for me about what kind of data I might be leaking by making "harmless" activities like riding my bike into public data.

The brain is so powerful that just by believing something will work, it actually can work. This is the placebo response. We don’t know the mechanism [0] yet, but I think it is probably the same thing as manifestation [1].

I believe that visualization is powerful because once we have visualized something, we can start taking steps (either consciously or unconsciously) to actualize it. This could include reaching some goal, such as alleviating a disease state.

I do not believe that homeopathy has an effect exceeding placebo, but... it is very easy to verify that the GP comment is at least partially correct: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=homeopathy

Click on the link and you'll see that the top few results from PubMed for homeopathy do indeed include meta-analyses. On my side, the very first result is:

#1 Homeopathy: meta-analyses of pooled clinical data. Hahn RG.
Forsch Komplementmed. 2013;20(5):376-81. doi: 10.1159/000355916. Epub 2013 Oct 17.
PMID: 24200828 Free article. Review.

I highly doubt that the results depend on the user searching.

The thing is, meta-analyses just don't prove as much as they're claimed to. There are meta-analyses "proving" all sorts of nonsense, like ESP: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/04/28/the-control-group-is-o...

Meta-analysis can't turn garbage into gold. If the studies in a meta-analysis are overwhelmingly low quality, the meta-analysis will also be unreliable.

I think with Homeopathic medicine people usually don't know how it is supposed to work. If you look at the label there is no explanation of the idea like cures like and diluting to an absurd degree, just a list of what's in it, some unsupported claims, and a small disclaimer that it is not FDA approved.
Just read it and check out the picture. I discovered that the aliens have bugs in their software and the passenger jets flying over have messed up tail logos, no passenger windows, often times no wings or no horizontal stabilizers on the tail, or no tail. Cool stuff.
Homeopathy is not herbs. It is just water:

“Homeopathic preparations are termed remedies and are made using homeopathic dilution. In this process, the selected substance is repeatedly diluted until the final product is chemically indistinguishable from the diluent. Often not even a single molecule of the original substance can be expected to remain in the product.”

This appears to be a jab at Terraform but Terraform's declarative language is supposed to be a step forward from ad-hoc provisioning scripts. One of the issues with imperative scripts is you have to be mindful of intermediate state whereas Terraform allows the users to just think about the initial and final state.
I forget which logical fallacy this is but they’re not being removed from the store, they’re being moved to their own section. You can still choose to buy them, Twitter is just no longer amplifying them into your feed.
Not really, I've nearly fallen for this, it looks like legit medicine if you aren't looking carefully to see the part where it says "homeopathic".
That only applies if you know that homeopathic drugs even exist, such that you know to check for them, and avoid them if they are not what you want.

I suspect a fairly decent chunk of homeopathic drug sales come from people who think they are normal (evidence-based) OTC medication.

Hi! Thank you for mentioning my company Altinity. We love ClickHouse and have been supporting customers on it for years.

That said I would like to defend ClickHouse and their use of the logo. They acquired the IP and it's their right to use it as they please. It's hard to imagine them not using the ClickHouse name. There's a crowd of companies using/supporting ClickHouse so it's the obvious way to market themselves.

The interesting question is whether it's a good thing for users to have a large company controlling ClickHouse rather than having it in a foundation.

Yes, when talking about people who are Christian nationalists trying to install a theocracy, you may have the words "fascist" and "Christian" in the same article. But it's not in the same ballpark, or even the same sport, as saying you're being called a fascist for saying "Merry Christmas".

If anything, it's motte and bailey disguised as a joke. They're trying to get people to see anyone associating anything even Christian adjacent to fascism as unreasonable people.

But. You can be Christian and not be a fascist. You can go do Christian things, worship Christian gods, attend Christian churches, have Christian holidays. No one is going to say anything about it. The minute you try to force me to accept your Christian things, worship your gods, attend your Churches, and celebrate your holidays over all others, is the minute we start having problems. The minute we begin saying that you are a fascist in addition to being a Christian. Because no one is saying Christianity is fascism. But that's what that "joke" does. It's basically staking the claim that people complaining about Christian fascists are saying that all Christians are fascists. Or at the very least, saying that's a leap you can make. And it's not.

With high profile European entrepreneurs like the Unicorn founders of Gorillas or ESL Gaming as investors & a small, super motivated team, we are currently disrupting grassroots football.

Main points:

- our tech stack (you don’t need to know all of them, just want to give you the full picture): python (fastapi), PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, pulumi, kubernetes, grafana, AWS, REST API, GitLab (CI)

- 100 % remote option: you decide - 100% remote (Germany or EU-wide), top office in Germany in Cologne/Berlin or a combination of both

- Already done: Germany Launch & 2nd round of funding (+2mio€)

- we are happy about every football fan - however, it is not a must-have for us, as long as you can still get excited about building something great with us

> Why are people drawn to such absurdly wrong medical cures?

IMO, most people don't know what "homeopathic" means. It sounds vaguely like "naturopathic", which would at least contain something other than water.

They see the claims on the label, compare the price to actual medication, and buy the fake product because it's cheaper, probably has more fantastical claims about what it will do, and doesn't mention any side effects.

There are definitely folks who are so irrational that they know how homeopathic products supposedly "work" and still believe in it, but IMO they are a tiny minority. Most of the people buying them are honest folks being scammed.

This lawsuit was long overdue. I hope after this they go after retailers doing things like putting "Cinnsulin" next to actual diabetes treatments.

Corruption in American academia isn't restricted to professors publishing cooked-up data on a regular basis, it's also seen in the funding structure of the major agencies, where insiders funnel grants to their loyal apparatchiks further down the feeding tree.

Really, anyone interested in this topic needs to start with a little dive into the procedures and practices of Trofim Lysenko within the Soviet Academic system (c.1925-1965). Everyone who supported Lysenko's theories got grants and promotions - those who didn't, exited the field.

A similar dynamic exists between advocates of active gain-of-funcdion research at the NIH and affiliates, and various funding decisions.
> Why are people drawn to such absurdly wrong medical cures?

Because the "official" cure/treatment prescribed by their doctor isn't working or has unwanted side effects.

I have an uncurable disease with medication that creates unpleasant side effects. You bet your ass I've spent a considerable amount of time researching "alternative" treatments.
Because people are drawn to being under the influence of the placebo effect, specifically.

You could make a billion dollars by offering a kiosk that sells a bottle of sugar pills with a custom label printed on it. Let people enter whatever symptom they have that’s bothering them and get a placebo bottle of sugar pills for it.

Nope, there’s no pharmaceutical in them. Yes, sugar is an “active ingredient” in placebo pills.

This pair of statements is deeply hostile to a pharmaceutical mindset — but we’re human beings, and human beings like to be fooled and like to pretend and like meaningless gestures that still make us feel better, and our bodies sometimes play along.

Homeopathy uses a lot of pseudoscience to sell their placebos because they’ve figured out how to market placebos to human beings. Find a better way to market placebos to human beings, as placebos and with the express purpose of having the placebo effect, and you’ll displace homeopathy altogether.

Arguing that humans shouldn’t seek the placebo effect is hopeless, though. We are human beings, and if there’s one thing you can guarantee with people as a whole, it’s that they’ll seek as wide a variety of altered states as possible by all means available — including both pharmaceuticals and placebos.
