Not if the EPA / FDA have something to say about it. My brother lives in Rural Pennsylvania and the local authorities / FDA have been making rounds to homes with larger gardens asking them to "register" or sign agreements that clarify they will never share their produce outside of their own home. Under the guise that the government is providing free "soil testing" to ensure the dirt being used has been properly remediated. This is common in Pennsylvania since historically steel production has tainted almost half the state with heavy metal particulate.

Thank you for this comparison. I would also like to know how Bleve Search (https://github.com/blevesearch/bleve) turns out.

The sad reality is that these $10-a-day content moderators make more money than medium sized creators who don't know how to monetize and are hoping the TikTok creator fund will do them justice.

It's a very manipulative platform on all sides. Creator, Consumer, and Moderator.
Plastic recycling is (like most environmental "progress"), a case of people pretending a lot is being done while actually nothing is being done.

Lots of places mark things recyclable when they are not. Governments refuse to require proper labelling or better yet tax or ban non-recyclable plastics. Companies routinely lie about the recycled content of their plastic. Municipalities insist waste is sorted, then just throw it all in the same landfill.

You've heard of security theatre? We have recycling theatre and emissions agreement theatre and 101 other similar stitch-ups

It makes it more expensive for those using it, thus making alternatives more appealing.
What are upcycled strawberries anyway?
My guess about "can be trapped/filtered" is in theory and possibly, with a lot of effort, in practice. But then of course -- how much easier it is (and how much more financially-incentivized it is) to let the pollution out rather than to filter it.

We need good incentives with a system that self-corrects; we need to stop playing whack-a-mole with easily-known-ahead-of-time problems and implement good systems.
As an experienced Python programmer who has dabbled in C++ (and Rust), I find this claim very dubious, though I can't say either way about Common Lisp. The difficult parts of Python-the-language (e.g. metaclasses) are both fairly easily to explain and also so rarely used even by library authors that explanation isn't usually necessary.

I suppose the standard library can be considered complex, but is hardly worse than C++.

I've seen plenty of non-programmers become proficient enough in Python to be productive, but maybe one guy -- a statistician maintaining R libraries -- learn enough C++ to be dangerous.
"Show hidden files" and "show extensions for known file types" are two folder options I enable on any Windows system I touch / within a few minutes of installation. I'll take a bit of extra visual clutter if it means I can actually see what all is in a folder, vs. just assuming I know.
The article lists several advantages.

If you don't like having a separate directory for config files you can set your XDG variables appropriately.
Is your datacenter safe from the next X-class solar flare?
I often wonder if it is currently more environmentally responsible to dispose of plastics in the trash rather than the recycling. If we can't recycle plastic or it ends up in the ocean/waterways, then landfill seems like a better alternative.
"Safety Shaming" what a weird term... is the government safety shaming by setting speed limits, disallowing kids to drive or mandating seat belts?
In workplace health and safety there is a term "life altering". This is used for the high impact but not deadly accidents, that are still very valuable to reduce the risk of. Like having an arm torn off, or going blind. I think we should adopt similar terminology when it comes to risks to humanity as a whole. "Civilization-changing perhaps"? And try to attach some meaningful examples of this. Fixating only on total anhilation of the entire species is not so useful when trying to design policies.

> Employers are not pleased: Bell described it as a "new form of theft and deception, and not something in which an ethical, honest person would participate."

Hmm, I hold his opinion on the ethical aspects of doing it without being known, or lying about it when confronted thus turning it into dishonesty, but if it's within the bounds of the contract I'm not sure companies can realistically take the high ground on this.

Us IC bottom feeders are 'cattle' to corporations; it seems some have decided to treat companies as 'fodder'.

I'll check it out. I have all sorts of weirdness with this system. snap is great because debian doesn't package a lot, yet then all my snap programs are sandboxed in a non useful way.

Your experience, of course, may be different, but I personally was not a fan of Ad Astra. It’s one of the few movies I was really excited to see in theaters, and by the end I wished I had walked out early. I just didn’t like any of the characters and the crimes against the laws of physics were too great to suspend my disbelief.
But that's not true... A pacemaker goes inside your body. It's replaced during a surgery every 15-20 years and has enough battery lifetime to last that long.

There used to be nuclear-powered pacemakers that could last many lifetimes but nowadays the doctors say it's better to replace the whole thing every once in a while, so the nuclear option is overkill.

Even QAnon and similar stuff looks like something which you previously just wouldn't have noticed. Lots of people believe in extremely crazy things, sects worked just fine before social media, but unless you had a family member drawn into it, or lived next to members, you probably didn't see much of it unless some journalists decided that it was a topic worthy of an article.

Many people are paying for that storage. I'm not sure Google should have the right to remove anything they want from it, just like the phone companies should not have the right to bleep out words in my phone conversations.
> ...the most affluent in the country. Their schools were closed for two years or almost two years.

Yes, to deal with a highly contagious virus that mysteriously seems to keep being absent from the conversation.

Schools are notoriously bad about hygiene. Currently, RSV, which is completely unrelated to Covid is spreading; and stretching some children's hospitals to their limits [1].

I know that public health and education are probably two different ideas in your mind, and the narrative of incompetent people in charge of your child's education is much easier to throw around; but I invite you and other commenters to consider the case that maybe they might just be related.

The reviews on it are quite something to see.
Because its stable and there's no more serious feature requests. If the job description is no longer applicable then I think its fair to consider that a reasonable resignation moment. The employer can change the job requirements as much as they like, but no hard feelings if I'm no longer signed on for what you demand today.
One thing I've learned, is people are definitely morons, so you're probably making the correct decision here.
In the UK this could be for very different reasons than in the US. It is particularly hard to fire there, this may have been seen as a cheaper and easier route.
Sounds like your milkshake shouldn't be served in a clear plastic cup. Maybe take that up with the milkshake provider?

Sounds like you've got a bad habit of throwing away reusable bags. Perhaps you need to reflect on how the first two parts of "Reduce. Reuse. Recycle." work.

Sounds like you are making stuff up about dumping plastic in the ocean without any evidence.

Sounds like grass-trimming string should be next on the list.

> If I didn't have that awful experience at best buy 20 years before, I don't think I would have had the courage to stand up.

Too me this is a key takeaway. Business is shitty in lots of ways. There’s a million ways the fit could be wrong. Our process of couple interviews and job offer doesn’t always allow for proper due diligence as both parties are trying to sell something. The goal for everyone is should be to make sure you have enough cushions in your finances and other parts of your life that you can politely say “fuck off” whenever or whyever you feel like you’re being treated poorly. Just don’t put up with it. It doesn’t mean walking off is the best solution, but sometimes you try to fix with communication and other things and this is your only option. I have an expectation that people treat me professionally in work. If people are being conniving, twofaced, or yelling and screaming it’s time to go. (I tend to experience yelling a lot. I think the stress/deadlines gets to certain people to where they just like to yell.)
Not that I'd enjoy the process, but it also sounds like a pretty good retirement plan. I'd keep my resume up to date for when they'd give up on me quitting, but I'd also not be adverse to doing things I want to do in exchange for being available for the occasional email.
The internet is not the only place to buy things. It's also not strictly necessary to buy a computer solely to access the internet. For instance, you could ask your neighbour if you could use theirs for an hour or two or go use one at the local library. Especially if it's just to book a, what seems to be, very important trip while you're dying of cancer.

EDIT: Grammar
Why does that matter? And why does being “all over the place for schedule” matter, assuming you don’t have a flight to catch?

This sounds very much to me like the voice of the American puritan which is still very much alive, well, and the reason other people cannot have nice things.

TIL Google Drive is a "platform". Time to get my stuff off of it.
You’ll have people say that there are good quality videos on TikTok and that you just have to spend a small amount of time training their AI to show you what you want to see. I’m unconvinced by arguments that TikTok’s AI is good. I think in the vast majority of cases it overfits to multiple local minima/maxima and bounces around between them. Most (by far) TikTok users are only ever going to see the lowest common denominator meme clips.

To be clear, I think GP is saying "that stuff manages to be cheap enough that the performance improvements more than make up for the overhead".
It's only worth it when it has real value and doesn't introduce undue operational overhead.

I've worked at multiple places where I was told by CISSPs (!) that we mustn't under any circumstances name the servers after what they do because then "the hackers would know what to attack" and that we must instead name them after superheroes or tequilas or some other such whimsy. I pointed out that getting LDAP bind credentials or the zone file from Active Directory is a tall order and that `nmap`ing the subnet for running services is ten times easier only to have the same tired rationale parroted back to me with an appeal to the authority of some 15-year-old security "best practices" document.

I've also had similarly-futile discussions about disabling ICMP, browser development tools, RDP/SSH timeouts, and a dozen other things that I've forgotten by now and at no point did I ever get a good reply when asked about why we were introducing so much pain for so little tactical gain.

To be clear I always make it a point to disable unused services, change account names, rename wp-admin, etc. because those aren't serious operational burdens and indeed reduce attack surface significantly, but at some point "defense in depth" becomes self-perpetuating box checkery designed to create security work streams. As somebody who cares about practical security _and_ delivering a good experience it's maddening.
Thank you! I've had wt just disappear on me a few times now and I've been meaning to investigate. It never occurred to me this was by design.

While I was between jobs during the Pandemic, I decided to try to get a app into the app store, purely for my education. (I wanted to write an app to scratch an itch.)

Yes (to the extent that it's reasonably possible). Voting rights give you power, but you have a contractual obligation to use that power in the interest of _all_ your shareholders.

It's the same reason why, at least in theory, VC founders can't structure a deal that devalues everyone else to ~0 and pockets the extra money in a side-channel transaction. They definitely have the power to do so, but if you can prove that better options existed and have the inclination to take that to court then you have a decent shot at recovering damages.
It’s not bias, it’s just how it is. If it’s not something bleepingcomputer or tenforums has covered, it’s a nightmare to find an answer for Windows problems. The difference is that most people are scared of the CLI, so they think Linux is harder because of that. When, in actuality, it saves you several seconds of clicking, and gives you far better error reporting.

Windows is a fucking joke of an OS, and that’s why nearly no one defends it on its merits. It’s always defended on the stance of compatibility because of things like O365 and Adobe products. It has nothing to do with the quality of Windows as a platform because as a platform, it’s a pile of shit, and everyone knows it. We’re just forced to deal with it if we want to game, edit photos and music, etc., without a ton of config changes and other hassles.

At the same time, they keep adding useful features. I noticed something new in the Notes app the other day. I had entered a recipe as a note and all the recipe quantities (e.g. "1 tbsp", "5 cups", etc) had a faint underline. I tapped it and got an overlay with the units in a bunch of variations: liters, CCs, gallons, pints, etc.

Sometimes Apple products just have these really nice touches. Other times, it's confounding where the gaps are and leave me wondering if Apple even uses their own product. I have two garage doors that I've HomeKit enabled and if I tell Siri "close the garage door" I get asked which one, even if only one is open. Even if I say "close both garage doors" or "close all garage doors" I still get prompted.

Show HN: Emery – Personal Planner
We're building an app that helps people organize their days and weeks. In a nutshell, it's a workspace that combines tasks, notes, and calendar events.

Emery users can see their days and weeks on a single screen, manage their personal and professional tasks, access a single schedule of all their calendars, and navigate through their days without switching between multiple apps.

What we've built so far:

- A web app for desktop (standalone is coming soon)
- Bi-directional Google calendar integration (including multiple accounts)
- Daily and weekly planning screens with extensive usage of drag'n'drop
- Time blocking for tasks
- Different types of tasks – daily, weekly, "until done"
- Basic note-taking functionality

Also, Emery has some things we always wanted to see in other apps – private notes for meetings, group editing of overdue tasks, categories to group tasks/notes/meetings together, and weekly productivity reports.

What's cooking:

- Recurring tasks
- Standalone desktop app (trying Tauri)

Coming later:

- Outlook integration
- Mobile apps

Happy to hear any feedback and answer any questions!
On the economic viability of solar energy when upgrading cellular networks
No one has ever been able to keep me busy. Ever.

I have gotten into discussions about this with colleagues and managers. The managers don't really care and just told me to chill and hang out (below my previous ambition level) and others have pointed out that they keep me around for insurance. Basically sand bag me until needed to fix a catastrophy or oversee other teams, departments, or initiatives that are at risk.

I don't really like it. I have (or used to have) a voracious work ethic that demanded I be busy on high-impact projects 24/7. However, these projects are rare.

Part of it is due to the constant adrenaline rush of being in a startup and having to save the company or a part of it on a regular basis. Sort of how soldiers have trouble adapting to ho-hum civilian life where the problems are mundane and they miss the trench-level comraderie.

Going from a startup where everything matters and you are surrounded by friends to a big company where nothing seems to matter and relationships are tempered by bureaucracy can be depressing as hell.
