“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.” - Socrates

Complaining about "kids these days" is as old as humanity.

Chaos Computer Club saves the healthcare system 400M euros (German)
My government regulating body in charge of preserving interoperability with small /alternative tech and stability in time, at least for critical online services, is not doing its job.

Was even planing to bootstrap my own small/alternative "tech" from some small/alternative noscript/basic (x)html components. Namely without the 489374392843 devs financed by google or apple...

Not to mention, it is a quasi-monopoly: blink is a fork of webkit, and geeko is kept alive by google (probably as a protection against anti-trust regulation). It is even worse from an "owner" point of view: from a "vanguard/blackrock" point of view, this is monopoly. That would concern the general anti-trust regulating body.

There are certainly way more to that, I am discussing with lawyers what to present to the judge.
Is Light a Wave or a Particle?
That is temporary and evictable kernel memory usage. It also isn’t allocating more memory than it has while doing it, it evicts things when it runs out of unallocated memory.

Technically a program, but not what I think anyone typically considers one in this context?

What other ones are you aware of?

I ask because generally programs use RAM because it’s fast - otherwise they’d use something else. Having a program intentionally allocate more than is available would almost certainly result in serious performance issues it would have a hard time dealing with predictably - as compared to using disk for the ‘excess’, and then reading/loading what it needs.
> It's appropriate to care what young people think at his age because it's good that parents care about what their teenagers think.

We use servers with swap files. It works fine and does not grind to halt. Right now one server has 10/15 GB RAM utilization and 3.7/3.7GB swap utilization. It's pretty responsive.
It certainly doesn’t hurt to do some self-relfection.

What I would do is ask who you would be without the thing you’re doing now. For me, no matter what I do, I like to build things, learn things, and reach people. To inspire creativity, to teach, to bring joy. These are the things I need to do to be happy and fulfilled.

But these are not the things that give me energy. They use it. They can consume me until I look around and wonder what all this is worth.

As humans, we have more needs than what we strive for. I need to hang out with friends and do nothing meaningful. I need to touch and be touched. I need solitude when everything becomes too much.

Maybe it’s because I’m bipolar, but trying to optimize for one thing results in the others being neglected.

I guess this is what others call mindfulness? :)

Or acceptance of difference. The underlying notion many seem to believe is that they are inherently right and so all they need to do is express their "mind-space" to somebody else, and that other person will come to feel the same.

But the thing one forgets is that the other person also often feels exactly the same. And it's not even a matter of one person being right and another person being wrong.

In any sort of reasonably complex topic, people can see the same data and make informed conclusions that are mutually exclusive. Seeing successful persuasion or violence as the only ends largely simplifies down to violence being the only end. Or, "The History of Humanity."
At a glance, it appears that lung cancer incidence is somewhat negatively correlated with elevation. Perhaps higher elevation enhances lung health, contributing to the results here.
> But a good developer is always tinkering and experimenting.

I strongly disagree. Developers build stuff, that's the job, not tinkering. Sure, everyone loves to tinker (most people love it far too much), and sometimes that is productive in the end, but it's the sort of thing you do in your spare time or quiet moments, not something you should see as central to the job - central to the job is turning ideas into reality, delivering.

> But if doing things in your code base is tedious, boring and eats up dev time

This is not what people mean by 'boring' software, they mean software they don't have to think about much, and when they do think about they understand instantly. Boring in a good way - as simple as it can be, hiding complexity with the right abstractions.

I'm afraid I don't know the sort of code-base you're talking about, but if velocity slows down, it's a sign of problems. If you're talking about a boring mess, you're probably talking about a code base I would call interesting (in a bad way). Boring is not a mess, boring is stuff that just works, with few hidden gotchas and abstractions and a simple call tree.
Indexing would have been my first thought as well, but since I don't work for neither HN or Github, any answer I'd give would be speculation.
actually reading it, my initial feeling was just - use of the term raptus, but they are both defendants against Staundon - my theory would be Staundon raped Chaumpaigne while she was in his employ, Chaucer offered her employment to get away from Staundon. Otherwise why would the word be used. But obviously there is no real evidence of this, although I guess actually as much evidence there was of a rape accusation against Chaucer.
No surprises. Google's whole privacy theater schtick is such gross bullshit
> Sorry, you don't get to count media hysteria as a "risk" of nuclear energy.

It wasn't media hysteria. The evacuation was to protect people. On the seven-point International Nuclear Event Scale, it is rated Level 5. It was a partial meltdown, and there was a risk of explosion, releasing radiation into the general area. Not evacuating would have been grossly irresponsible.

It is a matter of historical record that Met Ed had not informed state officials before conducting a steam venting from the plant. Convinced that the company was downplaying the severity of the accident, state officials turned to the NRC.

Twenty-eight hours after the accident began, William Scranton III, the lieutenant governor, appeared at a news briefing to say that Metropolitan Edison, the plant's owner, had assured the state that "everything is under control".

Later that day, Scranton changed his statement, saying that the situation was "more complex than the company first led us to believe". There were conflicting statements about radioactivity releases. Schools were closed and residents were urged to stay indoors. Farmers were told to keep their animals under cover and on stored feed.

Governor Dick Thornburgh, on the advice of NRC chairman Joseph Hendrie, advised the evacuation "of pregnant women and pre-school age children...within a five-mile radius of the Three Mile Island facility". The evacuation zone was extended to a 20-mile radius on Friday, March 30.

Where do you see the press taking action in any of the above except to repeat what state and NRC officials had decided?

Can you name a US evacuation over a solar power accident?

Absent clear evidence to the contrary, I strongly suspect the strategy of knowingly lying about (or recklessly getting wrong) the core concept of "whether or not masks work to prevent airborne disease" is the greater long term harm if you're the agency that's supposed to "make public declarations about diseases."

It would seem to me that credibility would be paramount. Perhaps mitigate the mask thing with something weaselly like "At this time, we believe a gaiter or a bandanna is sufficient so don't go buying them up." That little white lie strikes me as much better than "masks don't work y'all" -- which emphatically was the message they put out.

> You’re also failing to capture family and church and neighborhoods and loads of other organizations of people where being ostracized can and does have a meaningful impact, for good or bad.

Here's the problem: If you define "cancel culture" so extremely broadly that it covers any form of social ostracism whatsoever, then it's not in any respect a new or novel phenomemon. It's been with us for as long as society has existed. In this sense, it's almost a tautology that cancel culture exists. But so what? Why is everyone going on and on about cancel culture in recent years when it's thousands of years old?

What is relatively new is global social media, which has existed for less than 20 years. Personal information or misinformation can now go "viral" in a way that it never could before, as a result of computers and the internet. But it's not clear that there's been a "culture" change. It's just the same old human culture, now technologically enhanced.

Do people sometimes lose their jobs or other professional opportunities because of information spread on social media? Yes. Although I think this happens less than the fearmongers would have us believe. So "cancel culture" in the stricter sense may exist too, but I think it's been exaggerated quite a bit.

Of course I wouldn't deny that social media has the ability to rapidly spread information. What I deny is that social media has the power to cancel people. It does have the power to initiate the discussion about whether to cancel people, but that's only a discussion, mere words (tweets). The actual decision to cancel someone is always made by the people in power, and not by the "mob". Twitter can be denied or ignored. However, the people in power often have no loyalty or regard for those who are under them, so they're perfectly willing to throw underlings under the bus to cover their own asses, without a second thought, just to make an unpleasant PR situation go away. So leadership cowardice and selfishness is empowering and incentivizing "cancel culture" in this sense.

I should note that I'm expressing no particular opinion about whether a particular person should or shouldn't lose a particular job or financial benefit. That really depends on the specifics of the situation. In general, I don't think that anyone should be denied the ability to make a living, but I'm less sympathetic about someone losing special privileges and high status, which are nobody's right.

Also, even though they may support a mouse, TUIs almost inevitably are very well keyboard driven, and typically do a better job of it than a GUI, particularly web GUIs.

It can be done with GUIs, of course. You can also have bad TUIs. But "out of the box", the TUI tends towards better keyboard navigability than GUIs, so are more likely to get something usable "for free".

I find it very easy to get "trapped" in GUIs where your keyboard falls in to a focus pit that it can't get out of.

If you read more about the Gang Chen case, it's really terrifying. The FBI carried out an armed raid on his house early in the morning, as if he were some sort of drug lord or terrorist.

It turned out that the FBI had absolutely nothing on Gang Chen. For example, they accused him of personally accepting millions of dollars from a Chinese university. The money actually went to MIT as part of a partnership between the two universities, and Gang Chen was just in charge of the project on MIT's side. In other words, Gang Chen was accused of doing his job. The FBI could have known that, because it was all public information. It looks like there was a high level of incompetence on the side of the FBI, probably mixed with career ambition to capture a big fish, possibly also with a certain level of racism.
No one claimed that solar panels produce the same output on cloudy days as sunny days. The claim was that solar panels have become efficient enough to not need sunny California type climate in order to be viable. Two very different claims.

Companies investing in large scale commercial solar plants in the cloudy UK at the north of the planet, for profit, and without subsidies, proves that this is true.

Meanwhile Westinghouse Electric declared bankruptcy trying to finish the Vogtle nuclear power plant in discussion. 90% of nameplate capacity doesn't mean much at all if you can't afford to finish building the thing.
I suspect it was definitely an issue, it’s just that most companies like Google don’t care about reliability, only availability, and it might just not show up in their stats.
It's interesting how differing the opinions are for Tesla's autopilot naming. In that case, people seem to really care that it's not accurate.

Simplicity might be better but this really showed that people like a free lunch, unsurprisingly.
I find it odd that people seek to change minds to be honest.

For some reason I'm a hard-core libertarian so I kind of hate my own core values. I'd even go so far as to acknowledge that my ideal world would be close to hell for most people. I don't want to be this way. I just seem to have a preference for it.

I realised several years ago that if I ever got my own way it would make the world objectively a worse place for the average person to live and therefore I have an ethical duty to vote against my own self interest and instead try to vote for what I believe is in the interest of the collective good.

I think a lot of political division we see today just stems of a lack of empathy and understanding. Instead of trying to find ways we can compromise and share this Earth together we seek to force our own values on to others. And this seems to be true at all levels of society, from Twitter debates about trans rights, to democracy vs autocracy debates at the level of nation states.

Plus I think most disagreements we have can generally be solved with more localism and secessionism. Here in the UK for example I don't know why I don't just let Muslim communities practise Sharia law if they wish and allow communities who dislike immigration set their own rules on who is and isn't allowed to live there. But like I say, I know people disagree with me on these things.

That's a damn good point. Philosophy is merely perspective's shadow (moral philosophy included!). If you want to change the way they think then change what they see.

Our #1 tool for that is drugs. So cheap and convenient. #2 is video entertainment, but that's a bit shallow and ephemeral. #3 is what... raucous demonstrations?

And speaking of demonstrations, you can't beat "scientific culture" for having a pre-existing setup for managing the "changing philosophies by changing perspectives" process. But most of us aren't scientists. (Or squishy, openminded experimentalists, even)

I was referring to England, and based the "thousands" comment on this report: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsde...

> To date, 3,271 excess deaths have been recorded during heat-periods in 2022 in England and Wales. This is an average of 82 excess deaths per day, and 6.2% higher than the five-year average. The heat-period with the largest number of excess deaths was H2 (10 to 25 July) with 2,227 excess deaths (10.4% above average), an average of 139 excess deaths per day.

And my point was that it is striking to talk about how climate change is no big deal in England in this context.

I ran into unexpected difficulties from Firestore - the queries only allow 1 range clause, the transactions only allow up to 500 updates, and you can either search 1 collection or all of them with the same name.

This was a problem for us when applying a template to the schedule - templates could have over 500 appointments (so difficult to apply the template in 1 tx), and not being allowed two ranges meant we could test the appointment starts but not the end. The collection issue came up because we had appointments off of users off of orgs. It was impossible to search all the users within an org/tenant the way we set it up. Either search in 1 user or all users in all orgs.

We ditched all of firebase and I’m happy we made that decision early enough.
It depends. Covid is still out there, so I'm wary to use public transport, no matter how cheap it is. I'm even more wary of using slow mode across large distances. Even without Covid or other plagues, it is often full to the max, dirty/smelly and not on time.

That aside, it would make more sense to have a monthly ticket for something between 10 to 20EUR for a region, which could be topped up for longer distances, as needed. In a simple way, to get rid of the tariff chaos.
It’s just a verbal tick (ha, I did it again) and means nothing. Eliminate that word and the sentence meaning is unchanged as far as my intent is concerned.

If we’re living in a simulation, it would be strange indeed that they’ve made it appear to be completely deterministic but with an extra sprinkling of coincidence pixie dust as experienced by Darwinistic entities which experience a self-bootstrapped illusion of free will.
That's not what coordinated omission is. CO happens when your load generator can do, say, 500 requests/second, and you're aiming for something well below that, e.g. 100, but! the top throughput for the server is 80 requests per second, and instead of building up an infinite queue, the load generator throttles itself to roughly 80 requests per second.

Why would you build a load generator like this? Normally because you run out of threads -- you have 800 parallel requests in flight and you can't open a new one until one has returned.

Correcting for CO takes a mathematical sleight of hand.
