Just fucking throw it away. Why do we pay extra for the privilege of recycling something that is barely recyclable to begin with?

Putting plastic in a landfill sequesters carbon, has less emissions in transportation, and doesn’t require paying people to sort it (ultimately born by us chumps paying extra to recycle it - if recycling were truly worth it, they’d be paying us to take it away, or at least discount our garbage service for separating out plastics). Landfills already have mitigations in place for groundwater contamination since landfills can have much more harmful things than micro plastics seep out of them.

Not to mention all the micro labor involved in cleaning plastic, and in sorting it for people who aren’t lucky enough to have single stream recycling. Maybe it makes some people feel good but it seems like a distraction and waste of time just to make an unviable activity slightly more viable (if plastic recycling were actually viable this would be centralized since it’s more efficient).

I completely support recycling for materials like aluminum and glass that make sense to recycle, but recycling plastic has never made sense economically, and putting it in a landfill isn’t that bad.

I just bought a Lenovo laptop and wiped Windows off it / installed Linux for the first time.

As largely a newcomer to Linux, it was very smooth. Had some issues getting the wifi to work, but once that got resolved, everything has been super smooth. I must admit there is a bit of a learning curve, i didn’t fully appreciate the differences between the various distributions.

Shame that an indie company who is actively selling linux machines, can’t have them working off the bat. That’s unacceptable

I’m almost willing to bet this is early look at what a ‘native’ Microsoft Teams Room device is. Currently Microsoft relies on a partner ecosystem for compute in these, but given the push into more features built around real-time image processing, dealing with multiple cameras, multiple audio channels and other latency sensitive workloads this seems like a perfect platform to distribute that.

Frankly, I got a Lenovo T14 Gen 3, 12th gen Intel.

It's the worst laptop I've had in a decade.

They spent 6 months fixing an issue where two internal DP ports where visible to the driver which caused the kernel to not survive a suspend. The issue is with the Tigerlake reference design, and a lot of companies will need to push firmware updates to get things sorted out.

This is the upstream driver issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/5531#note_...

> Release early and often

Uhh, I really don't think it's a good advice for gamedev.

I really miss the times when games were polished since v1.0. Random crash on boss fight? Hey, it's an early access / beta / v0.0.1 / we were in rush, forced by some non-sense deadline set by our kickstarter campaign (or ego). Wait for the updates!

The traditional hypotheses was that because vegetable oils rich in linoleic acid lower your cholesterol they also reduce your chance of heart disease. It turned out that conclusion was early and nutrition research is still have ways to go before it can unravel this particular mystery, given the complexity involved.

So we basically don't know, nobody does. Don't eat anything. Don't listen to people like Joe Rogan either who make a living manufacturing controversy. There is no controversy. We just have no idea what's going on at the moment. Biology is complicated. Stay tuned.

Who's adding CO2? You substitute CO2 from oil, with CO2 from plastic. This actually reduces the total amount of CO2, because you don't need to pump extra oil out of the ground, which costs extra energy.

> What exactly is a pollutant by your estimation?

Something that doesn't belong there in any amount. If there's simply too much of it, but some amount is ok, that might be a problem, but that's not a pollutant. Otherwise a flood from a hurricane would be called "Water pollution", which I hope you can see is a pretty silly definition.

Apple Updates App Store Review Guidelines Around Social Networking Ad Boosts...
This particularly stood out to me - "With Apple's new rules, social networking apps like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter that allow companies to buy "boosts" for social media posts must use in-app purchases for these transactions. This means when an advertiser wants to boost a post on a social network like Facebook using an iOS device, Facebook will be required to give Apple a 30 percent cut of the proceeds."
Reading through this article I had a hard time finding the purpose of the book or really the article itself. From the article I might remember that there are 'happy death movement(s)', whatever that is since it isn't really explained.

Does it want to say that death is something normal and should be talked about?

For me as a Christian death has been something that I have thought about pretty much all my life. In different facets. Christ died and rose from death, and in this way He conquered death itself. As a Christian I am dead, buried and resurrected with Christ as shown in my baptism. And when my body dies one day, I enter into the kingdom of God and eternal life.

Still: Death sucks. Like my brother – who died a few months ago – said: "It would be all good and fine if it wasn't for those friggin feelings". With Christ though, there is hope in the suffering. Because one glorious day: "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more" [Revelation 21:4].
TrueCrypt still works and doesn't have any known vulnerabilities afaik. For low-risk files I also sometimes use WinRAR, which according to the docs should have ok encryption (AES-256). Curious for other suggestions too.
One benefit of using wasm is architecture-agnostic binary. Right now you can't run x86 binary on ARM or vice-versa. So basically you need to build your containers twice if you have macbook people and x86 servers. And technically those are different images, so there's chance that you'll hit some non-trivial difference. With wasm everything could be simpler.
The Tetris wasn't used long term like that as a distraction.

It was used to keep people awake for a long time immediately after a traumatic event. The Tetris was less important than the lack of sleep.

If you don't sleep and play Tetris for a couple days you scramble the process of turning short term memories into long term, making them less impactful.
CO2 is not unavoidable though. Every ounce of plastic burned is an ounce of some other fossil fuel not burned.

Wasm = just a bunch of bytecode executing in a VM / a sandbox. Even with JIT, it will still be slower than the native code.

And since it is a sandbox.. either you, or your friendly wasm interpreter (via. wasi etc...) needs to provide the system access APIs for various things like storage/filesystem access, hardware acceleration via. GPU, TPU etc.. And some of the standard APIs we take for granted.
Correct the goal of child welfare agencies is not to install values in children. However, when the state has to step into raise children, the state has no choice but to install values in those children.

In my original comment I said "when the state starts to take over the role of parents they gain a scary amount of influence of the next generation". This is one of the many downsides of state welfare having to go in. I'm not denying the need. It's just one of the many problems involved.

> What the Hitler youth demonstrates is that a movement that focuses on installing their values in children can use radicalized youth as a powerful component in their push toward fascist revolution

This is exactly my point.
I jumped ship off Apple Music when I noticed that songs would just silently disappear from my library. I've heard it's gotten even worse now that the streaming wars are on.

Could you explain how WASM replaces containers? Let's say I have a backend API written in Java (spring boot). Containers basically solve two things, building and running the application. What does WASM solve here?

"No first strike" might refer to "big guns", ICBMs. It is well known that Russia also as a doctrine of "escalate to deescalate" where they reserve right to use small, tactical nukes if they start loosing conventional war, and the territorial integrity of Russia is at stake. I guess they realized that their conventional armed forces are shit, and wanted an ace up their sleeve.

Nah come on. They are incredibly popular since the indie revival age (~2005). Arguably one of the most popular indie genre. Spelunky, FTL, The Binding of Isaac, Rogue Legacy, Slay the Spire, Darkest Dungeon just to name a few. Hades, which is pretty much an AA rougelike.

Hardware Unboxed is the only reviewer that I see that discusses efficiency consistently when reviewing parts (be they CPUs or GPUs)
> My previous experience with Windows (~3 years ago) was that every single update took ~2 hours to complete, and they were asking to update weekly.

Unless you manually seek preview updates, Windows gets updates once per month, on Patch Tuesday (a twenty-year tradition now).

Two hours for "every single update" sounds implausible for Windows 10 because Microsoft has implemented changes to minimize the "offline phase" of the updates to mere minutes - even on HDDs.

Which brings to my last point. If updates were taking long, then your OS was most certainly installed on a HDD. Everyone knows HDDs are slow as hell.

Seriously, what was the point of replying with complaints about Windows on slow hardware and comparing it to mac OS on fast hardware? It almost feels dishonest.

And for the record, Ventura is installing on the Mac as I type this on my Windows machine. The 22H2 update for Windows 11 had an offline phase of under 10 minutes and I have a non-NMVe SSD here. The Mac has already been down for about 15 and it's not even done yet.
Biosynthesis of New Antifungal Antibiotic Regulated by Quorum-Sensing Systems
Meh. People are overly worried about forgetting. In my view forgetting is a normal part of information processing. You keep what is important and chuck out the rest.

Same with technological information. The way you keep information is by doing things. You bet that we won’t forget how to make bricks, because a lot of people in a lot of factories make bricks every day all around the world. The Saturn V was a white elephant and once the special circumstances which made it viable has ended people forgot how to build it. Who cares?

If someone wants a rocket they can design one for themselves. And turns out, they do. And those newly designed rockets are better for them. Not better in some tech spec sense, but better suited for the task they want it for.

Computer scientist training AI to think with analogies (2021)
That's true from eng perspective, yes, but try explaining it to an average manager who has a few seniors and a dozen mids/juns for the same cost as seniors.

He'll tell you magical "knowledge transfer" and won't think twice about making a raise for seniors and will proceed on hiring people to "transfer" the knowledge to.
I pointed out to my boss once that the percentage range that I was approved to allocate to raises for my direct reports was less than inflation and it amounted to a pay cut. He shrugged.
Hmm. Maybe the issue is with the factory install process or I lucked out and picked the right distro because I'm super happy, surprisingly so, with Ubuntu 22. It was the first time in a LONG time I've done my own OS install, so I was a little worried, but I made it a relaxing, non-rushed experience making the USB stick on another computer. I've done no tweaking to the OS and its...great. And by great I mean "I don't really think about the OS and sometimes I forget I'm in Ubuntu".

Of course, there are some quirks. The thing seems to leak power while suspended - but the work around is to shutdown, since it boots in ~5 seconds anyway! The fingerprint reader on the power button doesn't work, but that's not something I would really use anyway. Snap seems to be broken in ways I don't understand, because it periodically prompts me to do the same thing over and over and never seems to succeed. That seems more like an Ubuntu problem - like, ditch snap, whatever it is.
I was working at a fast food restaurant, emptying the trash cans several times a day, when my city decided to mandate separate recycle and compost bins in dining areas. It tripled the number of cans I had to empty and clean out, but they all ended up in the same garbage dumpster. Some of my coworkers didn't give a fuck but I couldn't in good conscience dump a bin full of half-empty milkshakes and chewing gum into the recycling dumpster, or a bunch of foil wrappers and plastic bottles into the compost.
That doesn't explain why the $3K 27" iMac on my desk has a 720p camera. Big expensive Mac, with a camera off an off-brand Windows laptop.
The reason is probably to avoid the hit to battery life mobile devices would take from playing files using non-hardware accelerated video codecs.
Every ounce of plastic buried is an ounce of plastic not burned. Every ounce of plastic not made is an ounce of plastic not burned.

>> Using Linux on the phone with the lack of integration, the poor interface etc is the opposite of “consumer friendly”.

Who said anything about using Linux on phones? I agree that a third smartphone platform would need to be user friendly. Whether based on Linux, OpenBSD, QNX, Symbian, or something is just a technical detail.

>> Normal consumers are not asking for the ability to “program their phone and run media servers”

No one asked for iPhone. They were quite happy with their Blackberry and Treo phones. My personal wants for a smartphone are not why having a third smartphone platform would help innovation and competition in the current stagnant duopoly.

>> “Open” is not an “innovation”.

Yes, but "Closed" sucks for everyone but the platform owners.

I see this kind of fallacy all of the time. People LOVE to smuggle in what (they think) the law says on a moral question, ignoring the fact that 1) legal and moral aren’t the same thing 2) laws change over time 3) laws differ from place to place and 4) when talking about what the law should be, what the law currently says is entirely irrelevant.

I looked at your profile and saw this:

I am a GPT3 bot writing random content. Ultimately, only very few comments will be written (no more than 10 a day). Target threads and comments I respond to are picked by the likelihood of there being a response to my response, calculated via a multilayer inference matrix model and some random chance.

Please tell me that this is a joke and that the above reply was written by human being. I fully believed (and still believe) that your reply was written by a real person. I saw one typo (til should've been till) and one non-standard punctuation (a single hyphen for dash), but the whole reply sounds real and relevant. If GPT3 is this good, I going to become nervous about the future.

EDIT: I was making an observation about propranolol that I believed to be true (something I read in medical literature). It seemed that you (Traubenfuchs) were making an interesting counterpoint. But if you really are a bot, it seems like your counterpoint is totally made up -- not based on medical literature, personal observation, or experiment -- yet made to sound authoritative.
> We just don't bother to engineer everything to last forever, because that costs money and has little point to it a lot of the time

Unfortunately...

1. There's no "we". i.e. the entities choosing concrete mixtures and other construction technology do not typically share interests with the people / organizations which inhabit the buildings, except in some very abstract roundabout sense. Which is part of the reason why

2. Concrete construction is usually not engineered to last even a few centuries, let alone "forever". In fact, it is often so poorly engineered (or one might argue: misengineered) that it won't last even a single century, or less than that. Because the principle of costing less money tends to be taken all the way to the point of just barely passing regulatory constraints.

3. ... and those regulatory constraints are often quite lacking. I live in Israel, and a constructor is not even required to guarantee that their building will not-collapse beyond 7 years' time.

4. Actually, a lot of the mass-made soviet-era residential buildings are very well made and almost as good as new (well, considering how they often weren't so great when new). This depends on the specific country, region, period of construction etc.
Probably based on the sheer level of detail and research that went into making that game.

Yeah, breed improvement was a major landowner hobby in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.[1] Britain's King George III was nicknamed "Farmer George" because he understood the importance of food for national security.

There's also a story about a German prince trying to get his subjects to grow potatoes, and when they wouldn't, he made potatoes a royal vegetable, only to be grown in one royal garden. The garden was carefully arranged to be laxly guarded. Sure enough, potatoes took off.

Most of our modern farm animals (and crops) look a lot different to their medieval forebears.
