I'm sure you've thought about this, but I don't see it from the landing page:

What does a person with a project get out of sharing?

Or looking at it from the other side, what is the compelling reason this site will attract people looking for others' side projects?

It seemed like the main CTA was to sign up for a newsletter about marketing ideas. What's the connection between side projects and marketing newsletter?

>her main duties now consisted of simply being available between 0900 and 1800, sending the occasional email and completing the odd routine task from home.

This sounds like a perfect opportunity to be paid while searching for a new job. I honestly don't see how employers still see this as a good idea. Please, by all means, stick me at home with nothing to do but collect a paycheck. I'll gladly clock in while filling out applications for a better role.
Insect populations are declining in places like New England and the upper midwest despite farming both declining and finding more efficient ways to use fertilizer and pesticides on the same timeline.

If we're going down the road of human introduced chemical toxins (like pesticide pollution) I think a fair bit of blame also deserves to be laid at the feet of the state (and by proxy voters) for poisoning the soil immediately adjacent to roads (and to a slightly lesser degree, the watersheds) with various salts.

Having worked in SV for a while and talked to many within SV... Good teams and leaders are rare. Most are garbage. Most people are just worked to death and have crazy ambition/work ethic to make stupid shit happen.

There's no good way to find good teams/leadership. Often people just follow the person that has given them the most favor in their career. It doesn't mean that the manager is a good manager or a good leader - it just means that they're going to treat a particular person favorably. This is a very important distinction.

I can count on one hand the amount of good leaders/managers that I've interacted with in SV and I've interacted with hundreds. It is a toxic place.

> How does one do this without power?

You synthesize the fuel when and where you have power.

> And if possible, why isn't it done already?!

Hasn't hit cost parity yet. Hydrogen is the cheapest and it's still about triple the price. More portable fuels are more expensive to synthesize and cheaper to mine. Add a carbon tax (bunker fuel is filthy) and watch it happen overnight, or wait until around 2030 when the prices will cross over (but there will be an equilibrium price while capacity is built).
I don't think I've ever seen a Debian or Ubuntu "stable update" / "patch" (apt-get upgrade, not dist-upgrade - what is enabled by default these days) break anything - I've been using various variations of Debian since around Debian 3(? 1.2/1.3-kernel era).

There has been a few (documented!) issues with major upgrades, like lilo-grub transition and Ubuntu changing system group ids.

But there are no forced lts-to-lts upgrades - and generally they are quite stable.

As sibling comment mentions, canonical even have a live-patch service for kernel updates without reboot (not that I would recommend that - doing a reboot after patch is a nice way to verify that the system still boots ok - which it should - but easier to debug when you know there's just been a patch..).
My car was covered with bugs after a recent trip, but hard to say if that anecdata is any indication of actual insect population stability. If insect populations are truly in decline, it is hard to see how insecticides used on crops could be responsible for massive worldwide reductions.

Not to mention in the U.S. health insurance is tied to employment. Firing someone not only stops income from coming in, but also doubles the cost (in a lot of cases) of insurance. On top of this, firing someone allows the company to dispute unemployment. Giving someone to find a new job would be an amazing gift.

Similar story here. Got a 7% raise out of the blue after being employed just mere 6 months. I mean I appreciate the move but right now the inflation rate is more than double of that so it's not like this means a lot long-term. For context the inflation rate last month has reached 17%.

One notable absurdity is where the author agrees for all of us that happy people are more productive.

With respect to NYC teachers thank the union for that. The rubber rooms are because of contracts and processes which make teachers extremely difficult to fire. The issue that happens is that teachers who might be unsafe to have in the classroom with children, will have a years long arbitration and appeal process before they can be fired.

Let’s see, last time I was there:

1) Saw a woman slip in urine on the sidewalk, she fell on the sidewalk and broke open skin while touching the urine.

2) Someone non-chelatly smoking crack on the sidewalk, ensuring they blow the smoke in the face of every passerby.

3) Someone dedicating in a potted plant.

4) A fist fight (when was the last time you saw a fist fight outside of high school?)

5) Someone passed out on the sidewalk with a needle still in their arm.

And this is just a sampling. I don’t think if you make housing cheaper all these things will go away. Some of it is definitely exacerbated by homelessness, but then you get people moving to SF because of how much they support homeless. Now SF is known as the city to be homeless in, as you will likely end up better off than before, without lifting a finger.

If you count all neurodegenerative conditions noted & unnoted it happens frequently enough to take it to own heart.

There was also the case of murderer made by brain-cancer not own will.

Billions $$ wasted on wet transhumanist dreams of fully replaceable elite, zero on reverting human living conditions & health back to his natural optimal species proper state (Ancient Ethiopians bragged to Egyptian farmers about commonly reaching 120 years)

We pretend civilization & it's inventions doesn't kill. While it's lethality lately started increasing exponentially.

What's made to replace natural human conditions is by default suboptimal or negative, unleashing unpredictable adaptations, often written into DNA cursing next generations.

There certainly are evolutionary adaptations, built into our bodies (as insulin resistance for winter or inflammation) applicated seasonally or in temporary disruptions, which chronically prolonged become damaging and deadly disguised as another disease.

Rad was once trendy. Then gernazi chemotherapy. Now it's DNA alteration.

Nature will adapt well as animals in Chernobyl but humans taken out of natural conditions won't.

The web attracted a lot of scammers and grifters during the dot-com bubble as well. The web was nonetheless revolutionary.
I'd argue that the recent popularity of certain underground genres isn't to do with a cyclical trend, but due to better profiling of audiences via big tech. Movie execs can now see the size and wealth of a certain audiences that were previously invisible to them, and coupled with an increase in writers from diverse backgrounds, can more easily offer these underground genres to a more mainstream audience.

There's an HBO show "Barry", with Bill Hader and Henry Winkler (worth a watch for sure) that touches on this. Barry's girlfriend has a TV show on the in-world equivalent of Netflix and is thrilled when it hits the front page, and then crushed when 12 hours later it's off the front page and cancelled. In the most simultaneously hilarious and insightful scene I watched in 2022, they meet with an executive who explains how she's powerless to make any change since "the algorithm" had decided that her show didn't pop with the right demographics.

I work for one of those very large commercial software companies. In general, I think we do a pretty good job. We absolutely fuck some things up, for sure, for a lot of different reasons.

But I promise you there is never any kind of Machiavellian multi-year plan to condition people for upcoming bad behavior. Most of the things we do screw up are from lack of foresight; we are definitely not strong enough at long range planning to run psyops on customers.
That's what happened in Poland in 1990s when France Telecom took bought the local telco monopoly (Telekomunikacja Polska) from the Polish state. FT wanted to get rid of lots of relatively well-paid office workers (largely due to automation making them no longer necessary), but were unable to do so, as keeping employment was part of the sales contract. However, they were allowed to move people around the company, provided they still pay them the same salaries.

The FT's "solution" was to move hundreds (probably even thousands) of people into call centers and subject them to what today would definitely be recognized as mobbing. A family member went through that - she said that, whoever could quit quickly did, and people who had no alternatives stayed on the job largely only thanks to tranquilizers and other psych meds.
Sarcasm. Cute.
Have some mercy on the employers; they didn’t want it this way. This is all downstream of law. Nobody wants to play Russian Roulette by being direct with people and risking a lawsuit or, more likely, a complaint at the EEOC. Even if everything is above board, just the existence of the case can harm your reputation in the future, like someone who has been arrested and cleared.
From the opening line of the README:

"Sonic can be used as a simple alternative to super-heavy and full-featured search backends such as Elasticsearch in some use-cases."

Seem pretty up-front about it, and doesn't claim to be a full-featured alternative.
Yeah, but that only sandboxes the applications that opt in.

If you want to stop malicious applications from doing malicious things, even when the system owner unwisely grants them permission, you need mandatory sandboxing that the system owner can't bypass.

And that isn't compatible with the free software ethos.
From a culture perspective, I don't think the author worries about nation states. They could always do that. But with GPT etc alsmost everybody can do that.
Because you cannot just sell hardware anymore. There is no MRR from that and investors expect their quarterly returns. It's that simple.

Runaway capitalism has fucked the promotion of the interests of consumers.
It's definitely a great trade-off to make for efficiently, but makes it inherently unusable for most of elastic searchs usecases.

Looking at it from a practical example such as log search (almost everyone I know has used kibana/logstash/elasticsearch at some point): you'd be able to search for things like tracingId/requestId but adding more filters such as logLevel, requestType or serviceName would be impossible

It has it's niche, but calling it an elasticsearch alternative really is a stretch
It's a worldwide thing. An urbanized population does not care about nature. At all. Modern life is almost fully abstracted away from it, and it seems fine to destroy it for as long as our delicate lifestyle remains intact.

Every once in a while, we watch a documentary like Planet Earth. It inspires even the most cynical stoic. And we feel terrible about our negative role.

But the next day we go on as usual. And as soon as a tiny thing is asked of us to better the course, we resist like a maniac.
I wonder if there's a business opportunity here - managed IT, but for the less savvy consumer? Does that already exist?
It's totally fine that many people consider stuff bloat, but other people don't. I've built a highly specialised search engine for manufacturing companies on top of Elasticsearch, and I decidedly need vector queries, TF-IDF queries, geospatial range queries, and heaps of other, niche features you probably never used before.

Having a lightweight search engine is fine, but calling it an alternative to Elasticsearch is not doing either justice.

> placing the blame for climate change on the backs of Dutch farmers was absurd

Nobody is doing that, this is blatant misinformation that is being spread by interest groups that profit off Dutch farmers.

Most of the discussion around farmers over here has to do with nitrogen. As the OP mentioned, it is causing acidification of nature areas, which is negatively impacting all sorts of wildlife. It's a mostly local problem, often caused by intensive farming and is mostly unrelated to climate change.
Well barring the title they define it in the article and say it can match the current speed of all internet traffic raw traffic speed. doesn't matter what units you use as long as it's based on basic units bits/second. Pretty straightforward. Can it keep it up? probably not currently. Can it handle similar amounts of switching? Also probably not.

There's no basis for this claim.

That wasn't the argument. The point was that leaving isn't an option if you're forced to be in the situation by the school.
The article covers this.

> In the 1990s, a wave of lawsuits holding architects and engineers liable for health problems related to poorly built or maintained buildings led to massive overhauls of construction codes. The new codes created restrictions for the materials architects and engineers could use in buildings and HVAC systems. “Buildings were afraid of litigation,” said Sachin Anand, an engineer who leads a Chicago-based sustainable building firm. So most of them made meaningful changes that ultimately led to much healthier indoor climates all over the US.

> I'll gladly clock in while filling out applications for a better role.

I would assume that's the point. You can turn over employees without the political headaches of firing. If you fire enough employees nobody will want to work for you (in the case of specific managers) and risk triggering an exodus as people lose faith in the company (and the best most employable employees leave first).
I think those of us who haven’t bought a house are rooting for it (the entire housing market, I’ll never live in SF so I don’t particularly care what happens in that city) to fall, but then think of the many people who will now be upside down on mortgages and what happens when they decide to just let their credit take a hit instead of eating $1mil or more in lost value.

The solution to make this a comfortable transition is to slowly drain businesses out of SF and spread them around to different cities and states. Ease into it instead of hoping to wake up to a bloodbath.

> Good-luck beaming power from SSO or across spans of thousands of miles. First let's see a phone that charges from across the room with no matter how bad efficiency, or an electric car charging wirelessly on the go.

This is the actual impetus behind the push. Much like nuclear, the militaries of the world want a new toy (focused beam weapon), but want to pass the buck to the civilian population and claim that it's abundant cheap power with no risks.
A large fraction of the German population in the 1930s was also in favour of incarcerating people on the basis of their ethnicity, sexual orientation or political opinions. That doesn't mean that giving those people airing time was a good idea. Just because many people support something despicable, it doesn't mean that we should let them spread those ideas. Tolerant societies really ought to raise their immune defences against intolerant ideas if they want to survive.
