You don't necessarily need to be right, either, but the point is to take a stand so that there's something substantial to discuss. Put another way -- allow yourself the opportunity of being wrong. The assumption is that good faith dialectic follows, though of course that is an assumption made only on good faith.
I really wish I could just (safely) order whatever medications, tests, and treatments I want online.

Let me consult a doctor if I need one, but also: don't gatekeep treatment from me because the doctor is having a bad day, doesn't like me, etc.

I have a severe, debilitating anxiety disorder. It's extremely frustrating, and sometimes I will have to leave classes I'm teaching, social functions, etc. for no apparent reason because my body starts an anxiety attack.

This flares up once every 3-5 years and has for most of my life. The solution to this, which has worked for most of my life, is: xanax. Take a small amount of xanax before an anxiety trigger, do the trigger, and break the trigger->anxiety association/cycle. It takes like 3 doses total, and the rest of the pills go in the trash (or in the medicine cabinet, and then eventually the trash).

Almost every time I have to go through some weird and insulting dance with a doctor essentially pleading with them for this medication, I get told I'm a drug addict, and finally after explaining that no actually I'm a 40 year old semi retired founder/software developer, not a homeless unemployed addict, which is what your leading questions about what I do for a living led you to think, I might get a prescription for the drug that I have been taking rarely, but to great effect, for 30 years.

I *HATE* the medical system. I hate it. People talk about how the rich get access to some other medical system that gives them what they want with concierge doctors or whatever. Well I'm rich and I don't get that. I'd pay almost anything to just get a license that says "this guy is responsible, successful, and a massive contributor to society. Let him do whatever the fuck he wants and order whatever the fuck medications he needs."
> You can design it around the old 12V standard but why? For reference, the amperage leading into the house is typically around 100A; you only need around 24A for an electric range / oven. 50A at 12V is probably not optimal.

In your opinion, if you could force power supply makers to add another voltage rail, which voltage would you pick?

Arguably. There was no process outlined to change the process. In most democracies, the leader can't change to a non-democracy just because he is currently the leader.
It's easier to spec out heat resistive materials for a 5cm cable than for the entirety of a house's mains power cabling. Sure, 70°C is a lot, but I think the point is that it would work if it had to.
The article does not spell it out directly, so to clarify the title a bit here are the introduction years of the relevant aircraft:

* F-14 1974

* F-15 1976

* F-16 1978

* F-18 1983/84

* F-22 2005

* F-35 2016ish

The interesting thing here is that F-18 was introduced only a decade after F-14, while F-15 -> F-22 took nearly three decades and F-16 -> F-35 four.

Because you say so? There is nothing - nothing at all - that suggests things are going that way.

If anything there will be more public transport, such as trains, buses and especially subways. And there will be a lot of EVs.
Reasonable accommodation isn’t significantly onerous in the vast majority of cases. You don’t have to provide the accommodation a person wants. For example…

- Ordering via phone could be an acceptable accommodation for an inaccessible website. (Just don’t place the person on hold for half an hour.)

- Pen and paper can be used for communication when verbal communication isn’t possible.

- If someone is blind, you may be able to read things for them.

I’ll often get people still objecting to this level of accommodation because it is still inconvenient.

I'm not terribly familiar with Apple ][s either but given the surrounding context it sounds like there was a computer and fixed disk that was sent to a junk sorting center. It was initially thought that the disk they were sent was bad (with the owner having written as much on it), but evidently there was a component or two that had gone bad.

With the author's knowledge and some nearby spare parts he was able to revive the disk and computer and then started looking through its contents by dumping it to the screen (sorta like if you look at a raw hex dump from dd or a tool like Spinrite). From that he realized that the source code for that copying software was on the disk, the source code everyone theorized had been lost.

This was the thing that was so baffling to me about this study. I read the interview quotes, but then was baffled by the study's conclusion where they focused on things like "attitudes" and "structural barriers" (I kinda hate that term because it's easily interpreted in different ways).

Meanwhile I'm screaming "Duh, it's money!". Meaning that:

1. The study, for some reason seems reluctant to come out and say "treating those with disabilities costs more". Which seems pretty patently obvious when you read many parts of the rest of the study: they talk about needing more specialized equipment, needing to take additional time, etc.

2. Thus, in a private care system where reimbursements aren't changed for treating people with disabilities, there are tons of embedded incentives to not want to deal with those with disabilities.

The only was to get rid of these unwanted incentives is to fundamentally change the for-profit nature of American health care. Good luck with that.
Technically most DBaaS is PaaS, since they are not IaaS where you have to dick around with operating systems, servers and such, but dbPaas is meant to signify that everything is absolutely managed, so you don't have to deal with scalability, elasticity or anything like that, which is not always entirely true, but it's still a high-level approach, so a lot is being done for you.

I’ve never had trouble ordering a custom dish or special options. If there’s a price difference, the server tells us what to order on the menu, and tells the kitchen what to actually make. If it’s a family shop, sometimes they update the menu for next time.

I’m sure there’s places that won’t let you order off menu. I wonder whether QR menus increases the number of them, though.
I got a cold call from them at my previous job, which was enough to make me write off using it, as a tech lead and senior in the org who could have gotten us all onboard. Especially since our tool at the time was failing us.

That said, at my new job they actually are using it and it IS a fantastic product. So... maybe cool it on the sales and marketing as that was actively counterproductive with me, when the product speaks for itself.

edit: I should add, I do put my phone number out there, the call was during business hours, and they didn't call any further after I said I wasn't interested, so looking at it objectively now it wasn't the worst experience.
Do Datadog really see returns on this? They are absolutely head and shoulders worse than the rest of the industry when it comes to aggressive "business development" / cold calling behavior.

My experience with Datadog has been that the product is pretty good (unbelievably expensive, like all monitoring solutions, but good), but the business development / marketing culture is a huge drawback to the deal.

At a previous employer, we actually had to get a special exemption from our engineering president when we felt Datadog was a good choice for our organization's needs. He was so upset with Datadog's incessant marketing that he would regularly make "you can buy whatever you want as long as it's not Datadog" jokes on calls.
The term came out of management consulting (Peter Drucker IIRC) so it's not surprising it's more associated with manager happy-speak gobbeldygook than actual humans. Same with "content producer" (suggests undifferentiated glop, doesn't it?) or "thought leader".

It is almost certain at this point that current EV battery chemistry is going to be obsolete within 10 years, and there is a good chance that all lithium ion batteries today will be considered a safety hazard before then as well. It's not clear when that will happen, nor what the winning chemistry will be, but I think its a pretty safe bet that we will not be scaling today's LiIon batteries 10 years down the road from now.
Thank you for your medical diagnosis of my speech patterns. But the fact that you conflate the 2 decade old AIXI with the 5 decade old Solomonoff Induction despite my attempt to filter out ignoramuses with the 2 fallacies (neither of which mention AIXI and one of which specifically singles out AI/AGI for elimination), I'm afraid you've just been filtered, along with your medical diagnosis.

> If you are trying to decide whether to buy a new EV for reduced carbon emissions vs continuing to drive your old gas guzzler, this says to keep your old car.

No, this really poorly considered article is saying that if you have a classic car and drive it like a classic car (1200 miles per year) then an EV is not a good replacement for that classic car. But if you do the math and consider the average driving distance in the US, the breakeven for that classic car driven like an average car would be in 3 years, not 37.
Your implication is that anyone should continue producing classic cars, which is not the case. The idea is that it's more environmentally conscious to continue using existing vehicles than to produce more, especially if the existing vehicles are still functional.
that is a very interesting perspective. i hadn't thought about that before. but you are right that in the last few years a greater attention has been given to the need to support developers who are working on critical infrastructure, and while SerenityOS may not be critical to the majority of FOSS users in general, it certainly is important to its own users.

I think it depends how you count it.

According to this setup their under load power consumption of the entire system was just shy of 700Ws https://pcper.com/2014/10/nvidia-gtx-980-3-way-and-4-way-sli...

Back then components didn't tend to be as power bursty so I think it matters whether you compare peak power consumption or average power consumption under "typical" load.

A wall load from a gaming PC with a 4090 and 13900k is definitely going to burst passed 700Ws, but average while playing a game is probably lower than that.
I also disagree with the article - thin events don't always result in more coupling, and I'll add that thin events can remove temporal or state coupling as illustrated below. However, the caveat is: as with many things I think choosing one team or the other has nuance and depends on the specific scenario.

An example: I'm using thin events in a master data application integration scenario to send a 'sync this record' type of command message into a queue. The message body does not have the record details, only the basic information to uniquely identify the record. It also doesn't identify the type of change except for a flag to identify deletes. The 'sync' message is generalized to work for all entities and systems, so routing, logging, and other functions preceding the mapping and target operation have no coupling to any system or entity and can expect a fixed message format that will probably never change. Thus versioning isn't a concern.

Choosing team 'thin event' does result in an extra read of the target system, but that is a feature for this scenario and what I want to enforce. I can't assume a target system is in any particular state, and the operation to be performed will be determined from the target system at whatever point in time a message is processed, which could be more than once. If the message ended up in a dead letter queue, it can be reprocessed later without issue. If one production system's data is cloned down to a lower environment, the integrations continue to work even if the source and target environment data is mismatched. No state is stored or depended upon from either system and the design is idempotent (ignoring a target system's business rules that may constrain valid operations over time).

In contrast, other scenarios may benefit from or require a fat event. I've never used event sourcing, but as others mention, if current state can be built from all previous events 'rolled forward' or 'replayed', then each event must be a stand-alone immutable record with all information - thin events cannot be used. Or, if a scenario requires high performance we might need to use a fat event to eliminate the extra read, and then compensate for the other consequences that arise.

The Minsk agreements were a settlement to the previous war — which said that Ukraine would respect Russian heritage and allow those regions to be semi-autonomous.

Instead, they banned the Russian language and shelled those regions for a decade. Russia then invaded after those shelled-for-a-decade regions formally asked for help.

> You discuss the identities of the Nordstream pipeline saboteurs with some certainty.

I think the evidence points to a clear culprit:

- NATO conducted an exercise in that area months before (where they can map the exact location of the pipes)

- Germans were protesting the lack of gas at the time

- Russia didn’t blow up their own pipeline

- various European countries refuse to say who it was after investigating

- the US repeatedly threatened to end the pipeline

To be a bit less mystical than my original comment…

I used to think “letting go” meant “giving up”…

“Letting go” in the Alan Watts sense means being willing to give up on the means — not the outcome. I’ll let go of the way I’ve been doing things, let a small part of me die, so I have a better chance of meeting the outcome I am looking for. The psychological establishment might call that flexibly minded or low aversion to loss.

Giving up is convincing yourself a difficult the outcome/goal wasn’t worth it — instead of finding new means to reach it.

You can order xanax on the darkweb, FYI.

I mostly agree with you - the problem is that doctors are trained to deal with the lowest common denominator of patient: an addictive idiot who would kill themselves with benzos or opiates, given the chance. 90% of doctors are absolutely not equipped to deal with high-agency, high-intelligence patients. I've had a few doctors that were smart enough to work with me on experimentation or nonstandard treatment, but they are few and far between.
That's conflating a bunch of memes in a non-falsifiable way. From what I've seen, most people apparently just listen to what TV/Faceboot/etc say their tribe should do and then rationalize it.

And what really messed the respirator issue up was being completely fucked by politics. First the CDC lied to preserve supply for hospitals. Then the topic got politicized into two moronic camps of "masks don't work" and "wear your mask to protect others". What was missing was "protect yourself and your family by wearing a quality respirator". Personal responsibility used to be a bastion of the Republican party, but went completely AWOL for this issue.

FWIW a 3M 8293 is a P100, more comfortable than your run of the mill cloth or surgical mask, breathes cool and easy thanks to the check valve, looks basically the same as a common technical face mask, and only costs $10. Of course you have to know to look for these to even find them, and you're much less likely to do that when given a thousand reasons not to by competing choruses of ignorance.
In a serious conflict, within hours either the carrier will be sunk and so maint will be a moot point, or the opfor will no longer have the capability to sink the carrier (at least by air) and again maint will be a moot point.
