What he wrote about was how to deal with teenagers using Grindr and other networks already.

"While gay youth-oriented chat rooms and social networking services were available in the early 2000s, these services have largely fallen by the wayside, in favor of general-purpose platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Snapchat. Perhaps this is truly representative of an increasingly absent demand among young adults for networked spaces to engage with peers about their sexuality; but it’s worth considering how, if at all, the current generation of popular sites of gay networked sociability might fit into an overall queer social landscape that increasingly includes individuals under the age of 18. Even with the service’s extensive content management, Grindr may well be too lewd or too hook-up-oriented to be a safe and age-appropriate resource for teenagers; but the fact that people under 18 are on these services already indicates that we can’t readily dismiss these platforms out of hand as loci for queer youth culture. Rather than merely trying to absolve themselves of legal responsibility or, worse, trying to drive out teenagers entirely, service providers should instead focus on crafting safety strategies that can accommodate a wide variety of use cases for platforms like Grindr — including, possibly, their role in safely connecting queer young adults."[1]

1 is pretty incorrect according to modern metabolic understanding, no? A large chunk of LDL production comes from the liver, and complex carbohydrates tend to leave the most LDL behind after running through the liver. Reductions in sweet processed foods would help the most there, not reductions in fats. Exercise helps a good deal with the same problems too.

The study is a bit suspect, and it makes me wonder if all that really happened is that participants replace HFCS with honey, which doesn’t have the same impact on the liver.
But the nuclear power plant has the potential to make large swaths of land uninhabitable for thousands of years. There’s clearly a difference.
> As far as I’m concerned, the verdict is in for nuclear plants generating highly radioactive long-lasting waste: people don’t want them. You won’t be able to overcome their opposition. What more is there to say? Let’s move on.

Why should public opinion override the need for energy security, which is a national security issue? Sometimes, the public makes the wrong decision. The public generally has trouble when it comes to differentiating between the short-term and long-term. Energy sovereignty should not be subject to the democratic will of the populace. Leave it to the experts and the technocrats, not the average Joe and Jane who operate with asymmetric information.

From what I recall the drama was that the split was timed to his absence and they announced everywhere that "Gogs is dead/unmaintained" until he came back and set the record straight.

The reason for the split was understandable, them going around proclaiming Gogs dead and unmaintained felt pretty scummy to me, however.

How are you going to generate power with your fusion plant? Steam?

Coal and nuclear are uncompetitive simply from the cost of the steam side. Today you can just about give a steam plant free energy and it still makes a loss.

Solar or wind does not have this limitation. CCGT gas plants gets around it by having a turbine giving raw mechanical power and then utilizing the same awful steam side to get the last percentage points of efficiency at a much smaller required scale.

Unless you can step around the steam turbine I am not so positive on fusions future outside of incredibly small niches.

Coal still gets built where gas infrastructure does not exist, but that's about it.

"It's not the technology that's the problem, it's the unquestioned assumptions of how we've collectively presumed it will be used."

Yes, our imagination is bound by the belief systems we are trapped in. We choose possession of plastic widgets with built-in planned obsolescence over giving poor people a cancer treatment.

It is collective behavior driven by belief. Public access to education would benefit all of us, but we don't do that because of some doctrines. Point is that what we leave unquestioned by believing it is just rational, blinds us.

When we will start to rationally and empathically examine our collective memes, we might allow ourselves a better future.

>Group encryption: [...]

Came here to ask just about that but I see it's on your roadmap already, that's good and godspeed with that since encryption is hard.

During my PhD, I worked a little while with threshold encryption schemes (sometimes called horcrux encryption schemes, i.e. make n keys, you need at least m of them to perform some operations) (ref. my noob-ish question here ha https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/74763/is-there-an...).

I created a small system that allowed one to reconstruct parametric data from 3D shapes, but if and only if you had at least n pieces of the whole model, because reasons.

Reading this announcement, I recalled several things that came up during my research, which apply to this context as well.

* How can one make sure that losing one key is not the end of the db (i.e. backup keys)?

* How to share db access but not individual keys? (i.e. one key per user BUT all of them can read)

* What if encryption is shared by n users but one of them loses their key?

* How many keys for encrypting (or just one?), how many of them for decrypting?

* Represent all of this in some sort of stateful model, after all it's a db (in my case it was files), it's meant to be cold storage, everything should to be able to be reconstructed/recovered from there.

The list goes on and on ...

Anyway, just wanted to say that this is a very interesting and promising feature to be found in a database. Great work, I'm eagerly waiting to get my hands on this.
I don't necessarily agree with your first point.

When I (and many others) first started out using Linux, this was when the most trouble was likely to crop up. Over time, one learns and adapts to certain intricacies, hardware or methodologies used, and hopefully good practises, such as avoiding utterly rubbish or quaint distributions. Of course no scenario is bound to be 100% trouble free, but this is a far cry from an inexperienced user.

Even if I were to accept the premise that the other users are simply "doing nothing interesting", what would your idea of interesting be? Is it heavily exotic in nature (which I do agree in this case), or things that fall outside the purview of web browsing, document editing and leisurely activities? These things can also cause trouble outside the fault of a user for any reason, but this doesn't necessarily mean that they are inexperienced or do nothing interesting.

If you can elaborate more, I'd be interested to gauge if I agree in a new context.

From my limited knowledge[0], it does not seem like this would be an easy structure to scan for inspection. Acrylic can even used for the wedges that interface between the phased array (or single element) probe [1] because it's very good at not interfering with ultrasounds. Water is also a very good "coupling" material, which makes it even harder to get a useful scan since there would be no "backwall" reflecting back the ultrasounds on the other side of the acrylic.

There are other ways to scan for defects, but I'm mostly familiar with ultrasound phased arrays. Other NDT methods are also hard to use in the field after manufacturing.

[0] I work in NDT (non destructive testing), but I'm not a physics engineer and (work further up the stack from the actual probes/scanners). So this is an approximation, and I might be wrong.

[1] This random link is pretty useful to get an idea I think, but I'll also ask around our inhouse scientists if I get the occasion today!

Depends how you measure “big”, right? In the social media market, not so big. In the microblogging market, they are what… 95% of the market? I honestly don’t know what a judge would say, but that’s a one way of looking at it.
Just by knowing dates of birth, one can gain in-depth knowledge not only about oneself but also about friends, loved ones—even new-found acquaintances.
Astrologers correctly argue that the exact time, place, and year of one’s birth must be known in order to calculate the planetary positions, aspects, transits, and progressions required for a detailed astrological reading. Nevertheless, a great deal can be known about an individual simply from their birthday.
Indeed, the popular astrology found in magazines and newspapers is far more general, since it is based on “sun-sign astrology,” in which we are advised solely on the basis of what sign the sun was in on our date of birth (e.g., Gemini, Aquarius or Scorpio), regardless of the particular day. Because of this, an astonishing number of people all over the world not only know their signs but identify with their symbolism in their daily life.

Fortunately, the director of Britain's Atomic Energy Research Establishment, John Cockcroft, insisted on filters being retrofitted to the cooling air exhaust stacks (not specifically out of concerns for a fire.)

As I mention elsewhere in the thread, I use encryption, but I don't consider it to be of high value compared to other security mitigations one can spend time on.

As mentioned in the blog post, setting up encryption isn't always easy and problem free though.

I’ve been using vite + svelte quite a lot and it’s super nice and extremely lightweight/flexible. Server side I stick mainly with flask because it’s the devil I know and it’s super simple to spin up a functional API.

Front-end: VanillaJS[1] or Elm

Server: Deno or Rust

Database: Postgres

Hosting: Cloudflare Pages and fly.io

Front-end is usually the complex part, so I focus on that first. Elm creates fast and clean front-ends (and the community packages never have bugs), so I embed Elm when the UI demands extra complexity.

I generally keep my server code _extremely_ light-weight. I shove most of the complexity of my systems into the database queries, where it's easy to optimize.

I also find it useful to organize my API into "one POST for each button" and "one GET for each table".

This is part of the reason why I am disappointed, but not surprised, by all the flippant response to the concerns voiced here.

So AI puts artists out of a job and in some utopian vision, one day puts programmers out of a job, and nobody has jobs and that's what we should want, right, so why are you complaining about your personal suffering on the inevitable march of progress?

There is little to no worthwhile discussion from those same people about if the Puritanical worldview of work-to-live will be addressed, or how billionaires/capitalists/holders-of-the-resources respond to a world where no one has jobs, an income stream, and thus money to buy their products. Because Capitalist Realism has permeated, and we can no longer imagine a plausibly possible future that isn't increasingly technofeudalist. Welcome back to Dune?

VSCode is not tied to a specific language so the job of handling config files is left to the extension. Not every language has a fixed project structure so I think the major extensions have kept structure-dependent things out. In C++ for example there are CMake projects and GNU Makefile projects. Not sure why such extensions haven't bubbled yet.
Other IDEs have their own fixed project structure and a project config file specific to their IDE. This means running and debugging is easier in their IDE if your project works in the specific way intended by the IDE, but this locks you to their IDE.
This is only measuring the time from first shovel to completion. In reality, the period before first shovel is often much longer.

Best case scenario is China, where it takes them about 3 years to do the planning and then 2 years to do the build. In the US it seems to be about 20 + 20. I can see the build phase coming down to about 5 years, but it's hard to imagine the planning phase taking less than 10...

And it's not the nuclear part of the regulation that makes it slow in the US. In a country where it takes over 30 years to go from initial planning to completion of High Speed Rail, every big project seems to take forever and cost way too much. Nuclear specific regulation doesn't help, but I don't think it's the primary problem.

I think that they will release all the files eventually while leaving out actual secrets that would harm security, and also leave out the names of the people and the groups/societies/organizations/mafia who were responsible.

In the 2017 release, some files were shown to have been rereleased with fewer redactions, while others had added redactions. This is not likely nefarious but due to either a different/newer team working on them, or a mistake, or perhaps changing to a different document system.

Nationally people 12+ who were vaccinated were 3.2x less likely to test positive for covid in October 2022. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#rates-by-vaccine-s.... (The protection against serious illness and death is obviously much stronger.)

The CDC summarizes and caveats the data as follows (note particularly the last point):

- All vaccinated groups had overall lower risk of dying from COVID-19 and testing positive for COVID-19 compared with people who were unvaccinated.

- Based on early surveillance data, people who were vaccinated with an updated (bivalent) booster dose had lower rates of dying from COVID-19 and slightly lower rates of testing positive for COVID-19 compared with people who were vaccinated but had not received an updated booster dose.

- Age-standardized rates of cases and deaths by vaccination status and receipt of the updated (bivalent) booster dose do not account for other factors like the higher prevalence of previous infection among the unvaccinated and un-boosted groups; waning protection related to time since vaccination; and testing practices (such as use of at-home tests), underlying conditions, and prevention behaviors which likely differ by age and vaccination status. Additionally, any data recording errors that misclassify monovalent and updated (bivalent) boosters at the time of vaccine administration would make rates between the two groups appear more similar.

It's really awesome to see the public sector being able to experiment with new technologies to see what works. Rather than a top-down approach imposed on everyone all at once, the trial-and-error approach seems to work better. If it succeeds, then try to scale it up. If it doesn't, then it doesn't bring everyone else down with them.
I agree, it's ironic. I haven't had much luck with Thunderbolt, even on Windows. USB has never failed me.
Yes, I remember, even up until very recently, having to google help on Windows. You'd get webpages full of adverts with a heading '12 ways to fix Win10 freezing during upgrade bug!'. And the first two would be something like 'switch it off and on again', 'try again', 'reconnect to your wifi'.

I work mostly with Engineering teams, and consider slack inbound a pathology. Slack is great for collab in places, but it’s not a strong way to manage inbound, IMO.

The teams I’m responsible for make it easy for their stakeholder to raise issues, asks in a more deliberate, calmer way e.g. via GitHub issues or manager email. In exchange, we commit to mutually agreed response times on certain categories of business critical issues.

Generally, I don’t think it takes an ADHD diagnosis for slack inbound to completely kill your productivity, it’s a general problem. I don’t have ADHD but have strong empathy for how this must be a complete nightmare for you.

Perhaps have a manager put some structure on your inbound on your behalf?
A condescending gollyhead? I think that might be worse.
