> It's the overwheming consensus among medical professionals. The CDC recommends masks, as I linked.

"Consensus", without evidence, is just opinion. Tragically for the credibility of science-based policy, the evidence backing these mask recommendations is incredibly weak. That's just a fact. Repeating to me that "scientists say" something-or-other to be true does not change the fact that the evidence backing the claim is poor.

Medical science is riddled with examples of interventions that "medical professionals" recommended without evidence, only to find that they were ineffective -- or worse, harmful -- when a controlled study was finally performed. Just a few recent examples: hormone replacement therapy; aspirin for heart disease; widespread opioid use for pain; mammograms under age 50. All were "overwhelming consensus". All have been since found to be useless. Some have led to tragic outcomes.

The CDC and the WHO could have run randomized controlled trials to find out of n95 masks are effective at preventing illness. They did not.

Huh, I think my brain is not wired to think about `x` as a storage, it is closer to "add 3 to x for x = 2", which then gets reduced to "add 3 to 2" and then the destination is missing...
So don't start with microservices. But also don't start with a monolith!

If you have offline batch processes, don't make the mistake of implementing them in the same codebase as your website just because you already have the DB access and build/deploy tooling set up. If you have an admin portal and a public website that listen on different ports, don't run both listeners in the same process.

'don't build microservices yet' does not have to mean 'start with a monolith'.
Relax. Complaining about down votes is both against the rules and a waste of your time. Don't worry about it. You might feel like your initial contribution was highly relevant and insightful and you might be right, but you're up against countless others who disagree, of whom a very very tiny few have decided your contribution was in fact not relevant or that it violated some other etiquette. It's OK. Rather than get riled up about how your message was received, instead consider how you might refine it for the future.
I use a mix of both. GraphQL is used to validate the schema and types of the input, model validations are used to ensure that the actual values being saved to the database make sense from a domain perspective.
Have you read "Righting Software" by Juval Lowy? You might really enjoy it based on your feedback above and here. There is a project design aspect that goes into this kind of planning (or at least reminds me of what you wrote).
I think it's worth pointing out that regardless of what is true or not true, Google has spelled out their interpretation, and their explicit and (exact quote) "aggressively-broad ban" on use of AGPL software within Google.

Beyond the legal implications of software, there are social ones too. I admit that I'm reluctant to use AGPL software when a differently licensed alternative is available, just out of a general stigma around it. I'm not defending that stigma, far from it, but I think it's fair to point it out, and point out that big corporations like Google are very, very allergic to AGPL (whether it's legally warranted or not)
I remember reading years ago that if you want to be chilled out, do Pranayama. So I tried. It was the first thing that helped me chill out my mind at a time of great difficulty. The one that worked the best for me is where you breathe in 3 times with a tiny hold between breaths and without breathing out in between. So each breath takes you a little deeper. I forget what it is called, but wow, life changing.
Now I’m not saying they are or aren’t placebo. I don’t know anything myself.

Anecdotally though, breathing exercises feel good to do.

I do know for a fact that I can lower my heart rate by altering by how I breathe. It’s really easy to demonstrate that with a cheap heart rate monitor.

I’d suggest giving that a try yourself. You might be surprised at how easy it is.

One reason could be that our "bars" are different. I say that because you said:

Why is it a problem that some people do the bare minimum? By and large they still contribute in some small way to the project

I sense that your bar might be quite a bit lower than the bar I would apply, solely based on that comment. If you think doing the bare minimum is OK, your bar very likely is below the bar that I set. While it's hard to actually define and talk about the standards we think are to be met or not, here is one thing I value and that thus goes into the bar.

You should put 100% of your effort into your work, when you work. I'm against the overwork culture that exists in a lot of Corporate America. Don't do 150%. Don't work 60 hour weeks. That doesn't impress me. What I expect from an employee is that they work however many hours their contract says they should ("nominal hours" if you will in places where this isn't well defined by contracts) and that they give 100% of what they can do during that time. After that time is done, stop working. Do other things. Be with family. Be with friends. Go on a date and start a family or whatever floats your boat but stay away from work. But if I see you on your phone, looking through Facebook or Reddit or HN every time I enter the room (and you quickly put it away) we're not going to be friends. I love WFH btw. Never want to go back into the office. But you better not "do the bare minimum", i.e. be on HN 80% of your time that you "work".

EDIT: And of course that doesn't mean you can't ever check stuff on your phone or whatever during the workday. But there is a strong correlation between people with sub-par output and those behaviors, especially if they tend to quickly put their phones away as if you "caught them".
No misrepresentation. Not even really any exaggeration I would say. Some attempts at humour, yes (like the PoA bit).ie I was aware the PoA would not affect my kidneys.

This is exactly the case. I've done conversions before where it was possible to see and extract underlying, hidden elements, that were not visible or even detectable in the rendered webpage in a browser.

This is actually a somewhat common method when it comes to a bit of corporate sleuthing.. anytime you see a pretty website with vector-y graphics, maybe engineering-drawing representations.. if the data hasn't been stripped completely or redrawn you can extract information that otherwise people would assume unknowable.

In a recent example... I did this on a startup company's page involving a product where they had a CAD-like side view drawing of one of their products... but the base file (in this case it was an SVG) driving the page actually contained multiple hidden views of the same product and other products and at the 'real' precision of what likely was a DXF export from a CAD program, given to the web team. This allowed a critical dimension of an unannounced product to be precisely determined (to three significant figures) which was a spec that had not been publicly released...
I’m not sure I understand. With Emby you still have to trust that they have a secure password and don’t share/get them compromised.

Please provide better sources - I want to be corrected if I am wrong.

You have provided no evidence against my major point: anyone arguing about “funding” is just a politically biased argument — because it sounds bad that funding has increased as a number. Yet funding hasn’t increased as proportionally. Cops per capita, and police funding percentage of budget, are less political metrics in my opinion.
But it really isn’t. Sure the lower primitives are opensource but the value of what people call VSCode // the language servers and the market place. Yeah, they aren’t and you can’t use it if you compile from source. I detail this in the link above.

I though my argument was clear - that you need back-up for nuclear power also?

You accuse me of bad faith for quoting a number which includes both unscheduled and scheduled shutdowns by comparing with a number which only include the latter.

And I don't even understand where this is supposed to be going because even if plants never had unscheduled stoppages, you'd still need back-up.

But anyway, I find your tone overly aggressive. So it's unlikely that any discussion will be productive.

I take issue with the presumption of the inevitability of social media. Collectively we cannot put the genie back in the bottle, so I don't wish for that. Individually, we can choose how we engage with it, and in doing so, moderate the effects of it somewhat.

Another way to say it is: one must choose to be terminally online, and become part of the mob.
Elon Musk DOES understand GraphQL, and why Twitter isn't an appropriate use case for it.
I can argue your point. You want others to spend money on your wants, then get upset when asked if you spent any of yours on it.

Why are you so angry at others not spending more than the $250k they did when apparently you spent none?

I'm always amazed how people are so quick to demand others give to some cause when not giving even a penny.

So it's not irrelevant. It demonstrates quite clearly the issue. Once you understand why you gave zero, you're closer to understanding why someone else didn't give a million.

You have a GbR (or OHG) then, not a GmbH i.G., so you'll create the GbR, and then convert it into the GmbH. I assume that step comes with extra costs?

Feels overly complicated, the process I know is to see the Notary and then go see the bank with the company papers (GmbH i.G. / Vor-GmbH), create the account as the company and deposit the required amount. You'll then inform the Notary and provide the proof of deposit, and he'll complete the registration.

> I think it's a case of "we'll know it when we see it". I agree it looks like moving the goalposts, but I think most people would agree that current LMs just don't feel like AGIs.

Heh, that sounds like a dangerous slippery slope.

One day we're going to have real, "conscious" (whatever that means) AGI robots walking around us and people are still going to say "they don't feel like AGIs" (which is going to be used as a justification for cruelty, slavery, etc). Perhaps because they wouldn't behave exactly like us (or even if they would!).
No it won't. It will be unsupported. Bugs and security vulnerabilities will accrue making it less and less valuable over time. It's funny how the very people whose livelihood depends on perpetual software growth and maintenance are the first ones to claim FOSS is okay stuck at a particular version. Every company keeping their stack stuck on the permissive license is risking a log4j style event in the future.

Sounds like you talked to a notary, talked to an accountant, opened a bank account and registered with a couple organizations. You never actually describe any difficulty you had registering with any of them other than like "it’s german" and "it took some time"

I haven't worked in any 100% pure agile team either. But the main point I was trying to get across is that the parts that work against proper development is not where you follow the agile part, it's where the agile part isn't followed.
At some level all software will be too complex to understand easily within one sitting. That is just the nature of life. In my opinion, learning to read someone else's code is a sign of maturity, the ability to not just jump to churn or replace something just because you don't understand it is very mature.

While I somewhat agree there are levels of obscufation, just because something is hard to understand on the first go isn't sufficient for something to be "non-free" in my interpretation, like the b interpreter.
But it does kind of feel like whenever you package and reallocate some risk, there is some tradeoff in which you might be increasing systemic risk but it's opaque and hard to measure.

> What specifically are you saying needs to be avoided btw?

Carbs, all of them, as much as you can.

Gotta think on the lines of what did human bodies evolve to process and use. Since sugar sources weren't always available, our bodies make all the glucose we need to live. We don't need sugar or carbs at all. Sure our body's do like them because it's easier for our bodies to process carbs to glucose than to make it from fats and other amino acids. This means our brain signals to eat more of the sugary stuff because its "free" energy.

> Are you suggesting people eat pure meat and lettuce and eggs for 6-8 weeks?

Kinda. It's scary yes, but as your body switches over to eating less carbs, it has to work harder to convert non carbs into things it can use. This levels out your blood sugar levels which in turn makes you less hungry.

> It would be so much more helpful to give some examples of sample diets people could actually follow.

My diet when I'm in the zone so to speak (Keto + intermittent fasting), looks like the following.

First meal around 1pm. Salad - a store bought green mix, might have a little carrot with it, various lettuce (not iceberg or just romaine), I might throw in an egg, a serving of a protein (anything from steak, lunch meat, tuna or salmon), some cheese, maybe something salty (olives or peppers) and some kind of non-sugary dressing (ranch, blue cheese, oil and vinegar), water or unsweet tea.

About 3pm - 5pm is a mixed bag and might be a snack or meal, and depends on hunger levels. This can be some nuts (almonds typically), cheese, lunch meat, protein shake, or just left overs.

7-8pm I'll have dinner. Bunless burgers are common, or just some source of protein and a veggie side. I like chicken, beef, pork, fish. You can make all kinds of stuff with them. Bake it, grill it, fry it (without breading). Meatloaf is good. Lots of good recipe sites, maybe you like tacos, so you can have them with low carb tortillas. Asian dishes work out too, as long as you modify them. Cauliflower can be subbed for rice.

8-9pm I'm likely to have another snack.

9pm-1pm - Water. I'll eat if my blood sugar levels demand it. But on a typical day, I avoid anything that needs to be digested.
Totally. We see architectural drawings that go through a number of revisions and it’s not uncommon for designers to simply cover a whole section with a white box and then draw on top of it.

Also within PDFs (and svgs) you normally clip the area you’re going to draw into to bound it (sort of like overflow:hidden) and anything outside of that doesn’t display, but it’s still there and accessible.

I marvel more at the fact that software is capable of figuring out all the occlusions so you can print the stuff on a plotter. Cad drawings have up to 2M individual vectors in them. Its impressive that it works at all to be honest.

Interesting. Definitely a challenge if accurate emulation of film stock is desired.

I almost always add a subtle amount of "grain" with LR when developing photos. It looks pleasant and seems to add a sense of coherency to an image. I find that in many cases where details are lost to aggressive NR or otherwise simply not present, grain can make it easier to "see" the missing detail... as with most things, the optimal amount of noise is not zero.
Ok, best of luck to you on your journey

Again, nothing about what you are saying makes sense. Mechanics of the system and some mining dictate decentralization. Non mining nodes only help relay blocks, development is a matter of syncing the source code with other people and trying to lump in adoption and marketing is completely detached from reality. You might love bitcoin (and its dialup speed throughput of a few kilobytes a second for the whole world), but somehow trying to backward rationalize decentralization as only bitcoin is some 1984 level propaganda and reality denial. This is beyond just not understanding some aspects of cryptocurrency and into flat earth style actively ignoring easily provable facts.
> I assume that step comes with extra costs?

No. The GbR does not have to be created formally. It exists just by deciding to start a company. There is no formality at all. This is, by the way, a fully functional company. It does not have an "i.G." suffix itself, because there is no process that could be completed. It already exists. It's kind of like you don't have to register to be a "participant in traffic" when you ride a bike, but you do when you ride a car. But there is not formal process to become a "participant in traffic".

Now what you want to do is to limit liability and to do that you create the GmbH. This GmbH will then get the "i.G." suffix.

In any case this is really only interesting for a lawyer to decide on edge cases. Such as what would happen if you break a law before being at the notary and things like that. In practice the process is just to draw up the contract (download and adapt a template), then go to the bank and notary in parallel. Then you're done. (Afterwards you also submit the data to the central register).
> If big boys take out the funding from key projects, meaning stop paying their employees to contribute, everything would crumble.

What's your point? If Microsoft goes bankrupt, the MS ecosystem would crumble. And so on, ad infinitum. Nothing lasts forever. Since people aren't clairvoyant, they make an effort at evaluating risks vs benefits, and end up continuing to use both MS products and FOSS software.

> Why do they pay? As means to drive ecosystems into the products that actually provide money, like cloud, SaaS and hardware, closed source.

Yes, that's that whole 'commodify your complement' thing I mentioned. But so what? As long as those companies contribute free software that is useful, enjoy the ride. Maybe the current privacy-invading ad funded IT hegemons will fail one day and be replaced by something else, but at least whatever comes next will have a big pool of hopefully useful software to start building on top of.
