This is a false dichotomy.

There is a big middle ground between "cover for users engaging in whatever risky behavior they like" and "cover for nothing whatsoever".

In this case, the problem is expecting users to be perfectly diligent, and either discard all convenience or all security.

I've been using SSRIs for a number of years, though I've tried to wean off of them a number of times I (and my family) find that the anxiety ramps up too much to bear when I stop, so I keep a minimal dose.

Exercise helps; I swim 3x a week, run about the same, and will bike commute when the weather is nice. Swimming is the one that helps me the most though, not only do I get the benefit of exercise I find the concentration to maintain good form and stroke discipline is quite meditative. Signed myself up for a triathlon to give me a reason to keep the habits up.

I was only ever a social drinker but when an ultrasound during an unfortunate episode of food poisoning showed evidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver syndrome my doctor asked me to give up alcohol for health reasons. That has also helped keep an even keel too.
Frontend development has risen as an alternative so that it's much easier to not program for native frontend system but instead hiring "fullstack" developers and or purely frontend developers. The complexity of these frameworks correspond with applications that are either web first and or electron based. The complexity is necessary in certain situations but at this time it is very artificially inflated because of the fact of ease of hiring and that most people and or frameworks that propagate by word of mouth or just following what others in the industry do.
> I’d argue that if any of those reach production it’s never going to be the junior dev’s fault. Where’s the review process?

That's true, but issues getting into production isn't the things that might be problem. Junior devs requiring hours of review time for relatively simple tasks can also cause a lot of problems for an organisation, bringing productivity to a halt in extreme cases.
I just started using Kdenlive and it's truly impressive, especially when compared to other FOSS solutions like OpenShot. As far as I can tell it's head and shoulders above the competition.

Yes, that's also certainly an option. Still, it seems to me that a lot of people still can't really think in terms of space only infra and "a hight tech city, but on Mars/Moon" gets them to a more familiar context.

So I think it makes sense to talk also about surface bases, to get more people on board, even if those are potentially quite inefficient.
>The Internet is television with lower production value and longer commercials.

This is upside-down. In the old days stuff went to you: you had to tune in at 8p to see your show, you had to sit through or mute the commercial breaks every 8 or whatever minutes, which by the way are synced across every channel to punish people who try to tune it out.

It was a nightmare. There were no podcasts, 2 hours of unedited conversation; you had people wearing a ton of makeup screaming at each other and interrupting with one-liner quips. You had no ad blockers.

No. Way.

If you suffer ads online and getting mediocre content then the good news is it's under your control.

We should not replace ICE cars with EVs, but something smaller.
Steam engines were large because that was how they got efficiency up. ICE cars could afford to be smaller and more efficient. If they had just replaced steam locmotives with diesel ones that would have been stupid...instead they built a whole new infrastructure around smaller cars that was much better than the rail network and redesigned our entire cities. Existing cars are the optimal configuration for a given engine cost and gas price.

Electric motors are even more efficient, but using them in the form factor of a car is also stupid. With robotics we can now make tiny self-driving vehicles that can do chores for us. Why should I drive a 2-ton car to the store to pick up a gallon of milk, when the store can send a small robot to deliver it to me? Similarly a large empty bus can be replaced with smaller ATV sized EVs that drive me from my house to the main artery and merge to form one train. That reduces the size of the EV engine and battery pack by 10x. Some of the problems to be solved are not merely technological but organizational and cultural.

This is exactly what `Result` is in Rust. While I haven't used Rust, it seems

Yes it reduces the gain you get from accelerating in a deep gravity well, so you lose efficiency in your transfer, plus you need to actually get there first. It's a lose-lose situation.

If there is anything to pick up from the moon it makes more sense to deliver it to LEO first and continue from there.
Downvoting for disagreement is not my cup of coffee either, but I can understand why people do that. I've never understood why questions are downvoted, though. I'm not talking about “Google it you moron” types of questions. I've seen even simple questions of further inquiry get downvotes. Perhaps there are people offended by questions. I'm genuinely curious.
It’s interesting that I guess I’m so used to reading takes on fintech touting ‘independence’ and ‘decentralization’ coming solely from a libertarian perspective which would assume that ‘government’ involvement was inherently centralized, it didn’t occur to me to consider that OP might actually believe in society, and consider law enforcement around check fraud and regulations on banks as something that enables individual freedom.

Good reminder that sometimes it’s possible to read more into what someone’s saying than is there in the words.

Whatever the amount of homes being purchased by investors, you have to look at the root cause of why they're investing. This is covered by the article - did any of you downvoters bother to read it?

> Yield-chasing investors have turned to the real estate market because it has become a very profitable place to put your money. And the main reason it has become so profitable is the preexisting housing shortage created by local governments and certain homeowners seeking to block new homes from being built, leading to a nearly 4 million home shortage nationwide.

Locally, when we look around at who's blocking housing, it's 100% our neighbors:

Concur. I know absolutely zero about this field and got pulled in by the compelling story but started thinking “no way”. What do we call this? It’s not clickbait per se. A legal term that seems like it sort of fits is “puffing”.

I did have a back-and-forth with Dang a while back about what to watch out for re press releases. He really helped me see the point of going steps beyond to the underlying research, when possible. I’ve tried to do that (or notice when others might have done it) with the most interesting stories, despite the extreme rabbit hole danger. Unfortunately, primary source papers can have uncompelling titles and then the while topic sinks. Still, I’d call that a fair result, and will sometimes flag them up (my own posts and others) for a second chance.

I am a pretty big SpaceX fan, but so far, they've been tackling challenges that lend themselves to a rapid iteration if given sufficient capital.

Rapidly iterating on the incredible engineering difficulties inherent in building a reusable rocket does not mean you can do the same thing with an interplanetary mission that involves at least ~5 months of travel one way.

They need a whole other class of scientists and engineers to solve the "keeping a human alive for years in spacecraft/colony" problem. It just seems like a fundamentally different class of problem to me, and that SpaceX's strength of rapid iteration may be hardly applicable to this problem.
I am not even that much of a fan tbh. But to say Elon hasn't done any good for the environmemt and technical progress is just objectively false.

Who cares if tesla was founded by someone else, he saw potential and executed the growth to what it is today. Tesla is also just one of the several great companies he has founded or been an early part of that does amazing things.

What companies have you been a key player in that has made great technical progress or reduced our environmental impact? Stop the hate man, be mature.
And persistent memory structures also tends to have a cost. For example, persistent maps are usually O(lg n) lookup and insert rather than O(1) usually seen in mutable maps.

If I remember correctly this is a pretty fundamental limitation of persistent structures, so it's not like there is a better persistent map data structure out there waiting.
You seem to be referring to linguistic contexts in which the purpose is not aletic (or in the direction of aletic) but emotional (etc). (For what the hypotetical are concerned, they are T/F statements... They do not access a truth in the set of instanced facts, but one in the logical realm - still not BSing.)

The dimensions can be relatively independent - so you could plot the instances on a Cartesian graph, one axis describing the "adherence to Truth", the other other practical intents.

You may be comforting, you may be selling, etc.: you can do all of that without lying.

Here we are discussing: it is not impossible that somebody came just to pass the time (purpose), with utter disregard to any truth, and that may facilitate drifting towards bullshitting - but it a more fitting idea to regard exchangers as investigators over some matter, which is still an aletic activity, and the opposite of BSing.

From the article: "The short are also inherent conservationists, which is more crucial than ever in this world of eight billion. Thomas Samaras, who has been studying height for 40 years and is known in small circles as the Godfather of Shrink Think, a widely unknown philosophy that considers small superior, calculated that if we kept our proportions the same but were just 10 percent shorter in America alone, we would save 87 million tons of food per year"

Now say this about obese people as well...

I'm also very short. I will probably give my children hormones to be taller, but just to be around their age average. I don't think you should deliberately make your children smaller unless it poses a health risk or they are female. For me personally, being short isn't much of an issue. As I get older, the advantages are increasing. I don't have many of the back problems friends in my age have and the injuries from falls are much less severe with every inch fewer.
> banks, police, and courts understand check fraud.

How do they prove its fraud as opposed to you reneging on a valid check?

You fail to realise same issue is in both cases.

Same procedures work in both cases.

If police are willing to entertain a check signed by you is fraudulent they should be willing to do the same for epayments.

They do that by checking the other party of the transfers, if its known scammers, then in both cases you get your money back. If not... tough luck for both check and payment.
Back in the days of mostly static HTML, and maybe some simple JS for effects, you didn't need much complexity in the Frontend. Most logic was in the backend. That logic has moved to the Frontend, and so has the complexity. Yes, Frontends are more complex than ever before. But at the same time, backends have never been simpler. Most backend devs just implement some simple CRUD APIs for the Frontend code.

The UIs also have become more complex. In early web apps, you submitted a form and got feedback only after submission. The expectations for modern web apps are much higher. Everything has to be evaluated as soon as possible, possibly while the user is entering it. Responses should show up immediately, so there is a lot of caching in the frontend. It all adds up.
Microsoft has also officially and unofficially started replacing C++ with Rust.
How about recognising wrongs as a first step?

first v8 for speed then node.js - it allowed to do complex code generation stuff to happen on backend and on one side erase some incompatibility problems, on other to just do stuff that wouldn't be possible if JS was only run on frontend.

We also got faster machines that could handle the buckets of garbage average JS framework asks browser to do and internet speed that made 2MB JS blob the norm and not something you'd be fired over.
>Current is always measured through a single point. It's a count of the charge flowing past a point per time unit. (What is charge? No one knows. "Charge" is just a name for the mysterious something that "voltage" is a difference of...)

I think you're being overly mysterious here. It's the number of electrons passing through the wire per second. And charge isn't the thing that voltage is a difference of; it's potential difference, as in electric potential energy. The "water in a pipe" analogy really isn't that bad; it's gravitational potential instead of electrical potential, and amount of water instead of amount of electrons.
The question itself might contain a partial answer. If "frontend" and "backend" are assumed to be two completely separate disciplines, the architecture is going to reflect that (Conway's law).

It's possible that building a website as a wholistic product (ala Ruby on Rails) is inherently less complex because it eliminates an artificial boundary. We see backend teams struggling to build APIs and frontend teams struggling to consume those APIs. Many of the technical problems, communication overhead, and complexity seem to lie at this API boundary. Consider what if the software team (singular) just created HTML UIs directly from the DB and eliminated the middleman? I'm looking at things like HTMX and phoenix live view as a potential solution.
Are you arguing for the processing of sensitive data on a public proof-of-stake blockchain?

First, automating the detection of malicious acts against sensitive data seems pretty difficult. So this can't be implemented to systematically occur, and has to be determined after the fact by an investigation. Then, if a malicious act has been detected, the stake is slashed (and the acts are reverted where possible).

Is my understanding sound so far?

Because this would mean in any case where a slashed stake is considered an "acceptable cost" to the bad actor, then the sensitive data is fairly accessible -- the stake is effectively a paywall. And raising the stake is a difficult decision because higher stake means less actors and higher risk of collusion.

I mean this is probably fine for a very large public blockchain where detecting malicious acts is not as difficult or where the malicious act is not very profitable, but sensitive data can, depending on its nature, be extremely profitable to exploit (and as I stated, I don't see how it could be easily detected).

With sensitive data, "trusting" an organization only means having a legal agreement or strategic alliance with a third party. In these circumstances the consequences are usually more serious for the malicious actor than the loss of an arbitrary amount of money.

I've seen suggestions to do sensitive (e.g. medical) data processing on the ethereum blockchain from some enthusiasts and I have never been able to understand this beyond assuming they have a insufficient threat model in mind for this kind of data.

There are products that can filter out microplastics already:

IIRC the early Cold War civil defence plans (pre ICBM) envisioned just that - quickly truck/bus people out from urban centers to dispersal locations when nuclear bomber stream has been detected. It apparently worked to some degree and was regularly rehearsed in some areas. Then ICBMs with <30 minute warning windows kinda made it moot.
> Also not touched upon but felt by men and women is the general problem of being undersized for the world, which seems to be broadly sized for a 5'10" man (in the US at least).

I'm 6' tall and feel oversized for the world. Any time I have to use a counter, table, wash dishes, etc, I have to bend over just enough to jumpstart some back pain, and I imagine that's a contributing factor to chronic back and neck pain.

A friend looked into it once and found resources suggesting the standard kitchen counter is made for people 5'6". It's long been a dream of mine to get a custom made kitchen made for my own height. Well, it's a dream that follows the dream of owning my own place. One problem at a time.
Oh yeah. The invention of the Eurobond was a turning point not just in economics but for the history of the Soviet Union itself. It made the security state the sole gatekeeper, since you couldn't trust a design bureau to approach a London bank.

From what I understand, Gosbank-supervised credit system relied entirely on dynamic metrics from Narkomfin and higher up in the government, which made the pricing of such "debt" completely opaque. Like, deliberately so, unlike our Western variants which are theoretically transparent. I won't editorialize that.

I am not a super-expert, but the story of Rowland Barin and the Eurobond - and its effects on Soviet economics - captivated me after the Western financial system effectively collapsed in 2007-2008.

As an agile coach, one thing I often emphasize to teams is that “attitude is not a role.” In other words, it’s not just the designated team members or leaders who are responsible for driving progress and fostering a positive culture. Every individual on the team has the ability to contribute to the overall health and success of the project, regardless of their title or specific responsibilities.
One slight difference from current microcoded CPUs is that the end user could implement their own microcode. So each of the systems you mention above implemented their VMs directly in microcode, and as a result tye bytecode became the instruction set for this 'virtual' machine.

I propose office hours in every single retrospective we do and it never gets any traction. I've tried proposing "office hours". I've tried proposing them with a bit of an explanation as to why I think they're a good idea. I've tried proposing them with a lengthy explanation as to why I think they're a good idea.

My conclusion is that people don't want to engage with retrospective items that aren't first-order helpful. "Doing X solves problem Y for person ME right now" type things. Office hours smooth communication, but that in and of itself doesn't fix a problem -- it paves the road to fix other problems.
Many of people that did only frontend (HTML+CSS+JS) also moved to full stack, with usually dreadful results.
