Well it is now, but is also more. Originally Ladybird was the cross platform port of the from-scratch browser on a from-scratch OS. If I recall correctly, the browser on Serenity was just called 'Browser', and then Ladybird was created to wrap the LibWeb / LibJS engine from that in a Qt interface that could run on Linux and Mac, and then the Browser program in Serenity was also renamed to Ladybird.
It's wild that disc brakes are on his bad list (for home mechanics).

Changing the brake pads and burping the lines are both trivial to do yourself. Changing disc pads might actually be easier than changing rim pads.
"Wages of production staff" are more indirect than server costs if you're getting servers as-needed. Server use is easier to tie back to specific customers than employees, in part because you can add and remove them so easily.

"A direct cost is a price that can be directly tied to the production of specific goods or services." yes that is the case here.

And if I look at the first search results specifically talking about servers:

https://www.ibm.com/downloads/cas/DG7NY5QW says servers are a direct cost.

https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/direct-costs says servers are a direct cost.

I'm deep into the Apple ecosystem.

However my sentiment/thinking isn't far behind yours...

I haven't made any serious moves to decouple and go independent and self-hosted. Mostly due to the overheads of dealing with it all, and knowing I have other things to do that actually earn me money,

My photos I do sync to multiple sources, and files are an easy one.

I could ditch Apple and Google and survive. I'd have to take my medicine and it wouldn't be pleasant at first, but I could do it.

There is such a list, a wealth of benefits that follow a switch to renewable energies and other planet-greening. And they're fairly inarguable, clearly the future.

But climate is much harder to pin down, the perfect red-herring, keeping us arguing minutia distracts us from acting to realize that unifying list.

Unlimited universally-available energy, far less pollution, the end of energy colonialism, lowering costs, more wealth for all, better health. And less CO2 to boot. Hell we might even make it to Type 1.

I thought you were commenting on the unavailability of version control for plain text, not the psychological inertia of the users.

It would take decades of therapy to wean some lawyers off WordPerfect, let alone Word. But that's more because it's a habit-verging-on-compulsion, not because WYSIWYG software has cornered the market on version control. (Really, was WorldDocs truly any better than git?)

It would be better for everyone if documents were stored in plain text, formatted to the reader's liking by the reader, and edited with format-agnostic tools.

I recently help family set up their Synology NAS as a photo station and it works fairly well.

A dedicated photo folder can be shared amongst users but each user can also have their private repository in their home directory.

Pictures are accessed by the NAS webapp or a desicated Photo app on mobile.
The app has a fast mode to backup existing files so you can leave it on overnight for the first backup.

Downloaded pictures are sorted in year/month folders and it does decent face recognition (not as well as Apple though) and will use geo localisation data for maps and for keywords search of locations.

Apple photo data processing is much better at autotagging pictures, and it’s probably going to be difficult or impossible to find something as good, but at least your pictures stay private and remain accessible wherever you are.

There is nothing that says monospaced fonts are more readable. In fact, they’re probably not since you can’t give neither whitespace nor character components like the ascenders/descenders/bowls/stem/etc the space they need to shine relative to each other.

Monospace has one and only one redeeming quality that makes it worth using over proportional fonts: it lines up.

This new data set concerns Beaune. The paper says "Unlike Dijon, Beaune is still surrounded with vineyards situated at altitudes between 220 and 300 m (Fig. 2)."

Wikipedia says Beaune has a population of 20,551, which is about 2x that of 1800, and doesn't seem to be enough to have a significant regional heat island effect.
Most of the now-deep, now-interesting areas were once shallow and uninteresting.
Why is Mastodon still hoping that the Great Unwashed Masses will come up with an explanation for the technical guts of their platform? It's been six years and articles still fall over themselves trying to explain what it is, and usually land on a variant of "it's just like Twitter, but more complicated."

What I'm getting at is that Mastodon has a serious UX and communication problem, because they're not able to pitch the platform in a way that laypeople would care. Regular people don't care about the merits of decentralization. What matters is the experience, and Mastodon seems to be trying really hard to look as much like Twitter as possible. But that's a death sentence: Twitter is always going to be the best at being Twitter.
We measure philosophy success relative to finding the meaning of life. On the other hand everybody agrees that computers have advanced enormously without achieving yet AGI.
Did those things appear because philosophers talked about them or did philosophers talk about them because they appeared?
No.

Honestly, I don't mean to be negative, but this article is grossly misrepresenting the actual situation.

The actual problems the author of the article encountered/mentioned were that:

1) He was unfamiliar with how to use/maintain an electronic drivetrain, because he didn't have experience with one.

2) He sometimes doesn't have the right tool for the job.

The truth is that bicycles are _amazingly_ user reparable. Even the latest and greatest that use electronic shifting. And in comparison to other complex consumer goods, very accessible in terms of manufacturer support, and the information available to end users.

I've actually had an easier time understanding, calibrating and maintaining my electronic drivetrain (SRAM GX AXS, not the same one the op was having issues with) than I ever did with a traditional drivetrain. But probably because I'm more comfortable with electronics than mechanical things.

The one exception to the "totally user maintainable" rule are some components of electric bicycles, which (at least as far as batteries and some motorized components go) can be restricted by manufacturers as to what the end user can do.

Don't get me wrong. There are still plenty of things that I trust my bike mechanic to do that I won't do myself, but only because I don't have the time or focus to learn how to do them properly. Not because modern bicycles are somehow inaccessible.
Here’s what I don’t get about this topic: Democratic voters skew urban, Republican voters skew rural: isn’t government ID easier to acquire in urban areas than rural ones? If you need to go to some government office to do so, odds are in a rural area you’ll be travelling a greater distance to get to it, taking up more time and money, requiring more time off work, etc. Wouldn’t it thereby follow that voter ID laws actually hurt Republicans more than Democrats? Why then do the former support them and the later oppose them?
It's wild? Disc brake maintenance absolutely sucks.

I like them, they're critical to mountain biking, but to say they're trivial to service? Not sure I can agree with you at all?
Very neat. Does this support multi step wizards? If not should be on the feature map.
They used to have a three quarters view where the airplane dataset extended.
some part of me is fascinated to see non-compliance with a disgracefully authoritarian demanding large national government that has ridiculous arbitrary & vengeful laws on the books, but nothing about this current situation gives me much hope.

my recall is that social media sites were required to have some kind of officers in India that could be jailed for non-compliance with the whims of the government. semi-interested to see what happens now: there used to be a staff to mete out & try to comply. will it even be possible to maintain acceptable relationships with this demanding government? will twitter try to maintain this requirement at all?
The thing that gets me is the autotagging data is kept by Apple. You don't get to have it, when you leave.
Too much integration, and proprietary interfaces between modules, when there even are any, are the big problems here, and it's not just bicycles, but nearly everything.

We need to stick with, or go back to, modular assemblies of parts with standard interfaces.

The problem isn't in the technology, the problem is with people. The idea of voting is that 2 groups with opposing views agree on a compromise - a fair set of rules that determines which side won. So if the losing is convinced that they've lost fair and square, they will focus on a better campaign next time, rather than on starting a revolt.

Except for the past half-a-decade the media is increasingly pitting people against each other. Each side considers their rivals evil or crazy and is not ready to respect their opinion, listen or compromise. This creates incentives to cheat and legitimate reasons to suspect cheating. No matter what algorithmical or organizational approach you take, there will be always human factor, and hence reason for doubt. And the only way to resolve it is to make sure that you can always recheck the results in a way that satisfies the losing party, rather than screaming "blasphemy" to shut them up.
> Don't spend time thinking about unimportant things. I think it's a major contributor to the default effect.

Maybe? I get the Steve Jobs “only own one outfit so no energy is wasted deciding what to wear” thing, but it’s a fine line between that and the “wear a dark suit because everyone else does” thing.

> The key is figuring out what matters and what doesn’t (to you) and only thinking about what does.

Lots of respect for recognizing that not everyone will have the same answers. But, what if “what matters” is learning new things, or challenging oneself, or being a generalist? There are a lot of areas that (some) people find fulfilling that don’t lend themselves to single-minded focus. For those things and people, maybe this is good advice.
Me too. And my phone automatically goes on do-not-disturb prior to bedtime, so no concern of seeing a notification that gets my brain going.

The other nice thing about reading on my phone rather than reading a physical book before bed as I used to do is that I don't need a light. I have the phone brightness turned way down, and obviously use light text on black background. Helps with falling asleep and doesn't disturb my wife if she's going to sleep before me.

Yes:

"Does Mastodon or the Fediverse use ads or trackers or algorithms or blockchain or cryptocurrency or anything annoying like that?

No.

There are no ads, no trackers, the timeline shows all posts from everyone you follow in chronological order, and there is no blockchain/cryptocurrency/web3.

Fediverse servers connect to each other using traditional sustainable methods that email and websites have used for decades."

The issue I have is that the second key can't really sit in the safe all the time because everytime you setup new service, it needs to be taken out and added.
I agree with your sentiment, and I am comforted by competition balancing things out. I think these price distortions are coming from companies with less competition (or they're just losing out on customers!) Most competitive software applications are offered for free (social media, web browsing, word processing) no matter how wealthy the users are, because nobody would pay more for an equivalent product.

This is definitely a good argument for encouraging competition and increased price transparency.

Have they though? You deposit your vote, and have no way to know if it was counted as you intended. Having some way to anonymously verify your vote is an important part of election integrity IMO.
But the internet is so much more effective in that due to dramatically short feedback loop. Your ranking algo may select most outrageous posts/topics in a matter of minutes and even seconds with large enough DAU, compared to days for radio/TV and weeks for printing press. It is 2-4 orders of magnitude difference.
The kicker at the end is great.

I feel like this is a good headline and pandering more than solving a problem. I think there are other ways in a household to reduce energy usage that are more important. Starting with HVACR. I’m not saying this isn’t a good idea. I’m just saying that there are much more significant energy users in a home.
In other countries it's done manually and results are published as the counting happens and finished within the same day.

Of course the US is large, but I don't see how that's a limiting factor, being the process naturally very parallel.
My understanding of Mandarin is not strong, so these questions may sound terribly silly:

Is “我还没去过北京” considered past tense? It’s something that hasn’t been done, so I’m confused as to how that could be in the past.

For things like “我在走路”, is it not just needing a thing to receive the action, even if a filler? Or are there cases where you don’t need a filler?

Also, for “他要吃了吗”, is that not a statement from the past perspective of a (desired) completed action? Kind of like “我卖了这些车以后”?

Imo Skritter is the best iOS app for this.
That is true, but let's not forget that the userbase that needs only basic spreadsheet functions or simply a tool for writing text documents is vastly superior. One of my accountants used StarOffice like 20 years ago, and I recently serviced a business consultant office in which all machines had OpenOffice (installed before the LibreOffice split). Excel is for sure a monster feature-wise, but outside of certain niches the need of all those features is really low, then again many Office users didn't even know about its existence since all they need is to read and write text documents.
> EC / Senate politics are unrepresentative of population-majority preferences due to where people have decided to put themselves;

Senate politics aside, winner-take-all EC states are mostly gerrymandered to the majority party. It has exactly the same effect as gerrymandered house districts. some states are just not worth putting any effort into winning for the losing party and all focus/money/attention/politics is aimed at persuaded a small subset of constituents, the only difference is scale.

The inaction of the party in power to undo the winner-take-all EC model in a uncontested state shares the same motivation (more power to the party) and has the same outcome (worse representation for the people).

Using the example of California because it's a one-party state (so the advantages and disadvantages are more clear), if they were to proportionally allot EC votes, it would be good for every single Californian. The national Democratic party would move toward California Democrat values and the same situation for Republicans. And, since the state is so blue, it might even provide some incentive for the national Republican party to try and persuade purple Californians, moving them even further left. That's also good for California Democrats. People are led to believe that it would be worse for them, as individuals but that isn't the case. It would be better for _everyone_ in California if California wasn't winner take all.

The only group that it's bad for is the Democratic party.
Right, we’re not dealing with banks here. Ultimately we’re picking between N alternatives. The size of the gap between them doesn’t really matter, as long as it preserves the correct ordering of winners. Given that, using statistics to reduce your work is a completely reasonable efficiency here.
Although FPTP is bad, it's not at all clear that IRV (the election method that most mean when they say the ballot-marking method of RCV) actually leads to less extremism. It's a chaos monkey in any race that approaches competitive, and changes that one might expect to help A (such as more A > B > C votes) can actually hurt A. That is, its bad results show up precisely when it might produce a different outcome than FPTP. See the recent Alaska house election for an actual case.

If you're tied to a full ranking, there are much better choices than IRV; any of the Condorcet methods, for instance. However, rating systems are far more likely to produce compromise candidates. I like Approval, perhaps with a runoff between the top 2.

EDITTED-TO-ADD: In practice IRV and FPTP both suffer from the "center-squeeze effect": https://electionscience.org/library/the-center-squeeze-effec...
Incognito mode is a lie. You will see different results based on your IP. At best it's random, or rather some fallback information that is still curated by algorithms. Also who uses incognito mode? A common sense of what happens in the world a common baseline and understanding won't just magically appear when you turn on icognito mode. That's an even larger claim imho.

There's naturally gonna be a lot of places parody isn't labeled parody in blinking lights. It's comedically necessary. Ultimately if it is trivially easy for an average person to realize an account is not authentic (like the twitter handle being different) I think that's a fair and reasonable burden for anyone who imagines Twitter as a place where "humor is legal".
This is not great from a robbery point of view or a disposal point of view.
