I'm also from North of SLC. I once read that this area was originally called Smokey Valley by Native American tribes that roamed the area but who usually avoided the valley because of the smoke pollution. It has something to do with how air moves through the area protected by the mountains and the lake. That was before the industrial revolution. I'm sure that the quality of that smoke has degraded with the burning of fossil fuels, but it is interesting that the area has been known as the "smokey valley" for at least a couple hundred years.
It doesn't have to be "plan & build it within 12 months, and don't worry about anything but apartment buildings". It's not a new problem, it's been a constant topic (here, in Germany) for at least 15 years, with every year ending with "we have 2000 new apartments, but we need 20000 a year to keep up with demand". And city planners put their hands into their pockets and say "well, you can't rush these things..."

What will come first: commercial cold fusion energy or a return to actually building housing in Western cities?
It is something I read before in a book:

About as many times, but the key thing is that the horn is only useful if I'm static since otherwise it's faster for me to evade than honk. I estimate ~0.5 s to 1 s net delay to action if I were to honk, with 0.5 s to 1 s delay in action from other person if they're fast. At a 2 s delay, unless I'm not moving, evasion + braking seems superior. And evasion is made harder while honking. I've had many times where people run red lights in front of me (I live in SF) but I've never honked. It's frequently too late to do anything so I just brake.
Cities can and do buy water rights, but it's very slow.

My parents were on a private water system, fed by a spring. There was an owner's association, and the homeowners served by the water system owned shares in the system. The city was eventually able to buy enough shares to control the system, but it took three or four decades of trying.

So say you own a farm, and you own the water rights that enable it to operate. And your family has owned those rights ever since 1852, when they settled on that land. Each generation has passed it on to the next.

If you sell the water, you're selling the farm as a working farm. You're selling your childrens' future. That's not a decision that you make quickly, no matter how much money the city waves at you.

From the study:

> In addition to the features described above, aggregate-scale relict lime clasts, also referred to as remnant lime or lime lumps, are a ubiquitous and conspicuous feature of both architectural and maritime Roman concretes. The presence of these distinctive bright white features has been previously attributed to several scenarios including incomplete or over-burning during the calcining of lime (20), carbonation before concrete preparation (30), incomplete dissolution during setting (12), or insufficient mixing of the mortar (14).

When I was in my late 20s, I was taking college courses in the evening after working a 9-5 software job. On the nights where I didn't have to go to class, I usually had homework to do, and I found it really difficult to switch gears after a day at work to get into homework mode.

I'd also joined the company softball team, and I noticed that on the nights where I got back from playing softball after work, it was almost effortless to roll up my sleeves and start on my homework.

It's sometimes difficult to pause an overdue/critical task to go take a 30-45 minute walk, because it just seems like wasting _more_ time. But I've found that after a walk or some kind of exercise break, I often become "un-stuck" on a task that I was bogged down or procrastinating on.
The setup your inlaws have probably doesn't rely on the cloud, and report everything they watch to advertising companies, unlike your setup.
Does the news media not "psychologically manipulate people to get them to vote or think a certain way?" By your logic, we shouldn't just ban ads, we should ban most journalism and news websites, as they are all also propaganda arms to promote different ideologies.

Rather than banning everything that's not "straight facts," from ads to the news media, maybe teaching our population critical thinking is the solution instead. If our population is dumb, it'll always be extra-vulnerable to manipulation, no matter what regulations and guardrails we put in place.
I have about 13 years of experience in the JS ecosystem which I think is long enough to formulate some decent theories :D

> Oh, and the current LTS version is 18, so good luck with security.

NodeJS 16 EOL is September 11th, 2023 - https://nodejs.org/ar/blog/announcements/nodejs16-eol/

Ghost has just finished adding support for v18 https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/16059

A good question is why is ghost so conservative about accepting new LTS versions to support. If I had to guess I'd say the answer is probably that the conservativism was induced by the great ES6 module breakages of previous node major versions, which in turn were induced by poorly thought out features in the ES6 module system which led to a bad transition experience for a variety of reasons (toplevel await, extension requirements derived from browser requirements resulting wiht typescript extension compatibility issues, etc).

So there were systemic problems with the way the JS language and browsers developed. Essentially, the browser (JS) ecosystem was left in an inadequate state to support web applications for far too long. This in turn is causing ripple waves of technical debt far into the future.

Stagnation in paying off techinical debt leads to workarounds (e.g. CommonJS, callbacks) which then get built on top of. Then when the "standard" is finally introduced (ES6 modules, promises) its already too late and a lot of the "buildings" built on top of those foundations become unstable or even collapse.

The combinatorial explosion of unstandardized and standardized things that need to be supported by foundational tools is also partly to blame. For example, thanks to the unaddressed shortcommings of CSS we have a smorgasbord of semi-adequate CSS solutions with poor compatibility. This in turn leads to problems for bundlers trying to support all kinds of combinations of those, and so on.

So the answer IMO is "technical debt induced by historically poor standardization efforts"
Trade deficits and capital surpluses go hand in hand. This is easy to see. If the value of your imports exceeds the value of your exports (i.e. you have a trade deficit), the excess imports must be financed somehow—either borrowing money abroad or selling assets (such as equity) to the rest of the world. This results in a net flow of money into the country, i.e. a capital surplus.
This looks promising.

I immediately went in and created a Workspace and then a Space (which I gave the same name because I was unsure what a Workspace is or a Space is), and then added some tasks with subtasks.

Then I went to "Home" and it told me "No assigned tasks".

Okay...can I assign tasks? I don't see a way.

Looking at the roadmap, I see that "assignee" is a TODO, but does that mean the Home will be blank until that's implementing? I don't know!

Also, when I open a task, the subtask list is titled "Empty". It doesn't matter whether there are subtaks entered—it's titled "Empty". I'm not sure why or if there's a way I can make it say something else—not sure what I'd want it to say.

Overall, this looks good, seems easy to use (in the sense of "typing in tasks and subtasks was quick and easy—surprisingly rare in such apps!) and I love that you're building in public this way. I'm not ready to switch to using it, but in some ways it's better than the competitors. Really, the ease at which I could type in and rearrange tasks+subtasks is better than Notion (the worst!), Emery (no subtasks), Amazing Marvin, or Todoist. Get working "inbox"/"timeline" view and "deadlines" (at a subtask level), and I might be ready to pay you money to use it.
Dawn, I just wanted to patent it.
I second asking elsewhere but as you may want some good news, I'll give you my experience - I experienced Post Traumatic Growth ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-traumatic_growth ).

I experienced a severe 4 month PTSD event in 2019 pre-covid (covid later didn't help), plus 1.5 years of related issues, the psychological side effect of constant depressing stress that couldn't be escaped resulted in physical problems - twitches, verbal stuttering, indecisiveness, emotional swings and regular memory loss (both short term and of the event).

Around the end of 2021 as I recovered I found I had the ability to learn like really, really easily, I did 3 IT certifications in 3 months, MS, Google and an AWS cram, got noticed at work for higher achievement in solving issues there too - winning a hackathon and receiving an unrelated pay rise - it felt like no boundaries and I put this down to the fog lifting.
I was still a little unhappy behind the scenes despite this, but by 2022 I felt 95% recovered (I doubt I'll be 100%" as I'm a different person now as a consequence).

Sadly the ability and urge to achieve like in 2021 went away - a window in total of around 6 months I was able to run at this "higher level" without much effort.

Articles on PTG say extroverts are more likely to experience it - I'm introverted but can socialise when challenged or feel like putting in effort (but prefer not to and avoid presentations etc.), so don't get disheartened if you think you may not have the personality for it, just remember to watch out in case it does and take full advantage :)

Extra info: Did 2 sessions a week with a psychiatrist for months - talking - not EMDR or CBT as they weren't as effective* - usually ended up in tears every time and over running - I rarely cried at all up to 2019, and flat out refused to take drugs the doctor suggested because they affect concentration and I didn't want to dull my ability more than it was already.

* They were, but I didn't want to go down that route as one session made me experience a load of events I'd forgotten details of, to the degree it was like hypnosis, I could see
more, hear new noises and almost feel the cold touch of things in the memories almost like I was asleep. That was expected but I wasn't warned of it properly.

FDA approves Alzheimer’s drug shown to moderately slow cognitive decline
Does not exist in the US outside of the criminal context
On examining the negative thought patterns, I think there's at least a couple parts to it:

1. If you very much believe no amount of physical health interventions will have any cognitive effects, then it seems like the probability of you sticking with any sort of health/fitness routine is very low. If in fact, health/diet/fitness DOES have positive cognitive effects (it's been proven scientifically and there are tons of anecdotes), you may end up depriving yourself of a really great thing for improving quality of life and cognition. So examining the possibility that your cognition is not doomed and immune to physical health interventions could greatly increase the odds of improvement.

2. In 2 of your examples, they were social situations. In my experience, negative thought patterns can definitely impact that. I'm saying this somewhat loosely, as I'm not an expert, but have done research in the past on this: Thoughts can trigger bio/physiological responses in the body/brain that can definitely impact cognition.
I live in Montreal; many of the concrete structures in my city are crumbling and decaying due to the constant freeze/thaw temperature cycling that they're exposed to.

That reading speed (in words / day) is mostly a byproduct of wanting to track start/end dates and a word count, so I get speed "for free". I don't actually look at it much, but it's an interesting proxy for "rough interest level".

For my router PC, I run vyos [1]. Dinky little 9th gen Core i3 machine, but consumes <9W and easily handles gigabit throughput, even with Wireguard. For those in the US with an AT&T fiber GPON ONT, vyos' 802.1x EAP-TLS implementation is complete enough where the certs can just be imported and things will work without obscure hacks (for those not familiar with AT&T fiber, this is to connect your own router directly to the fiber ONT, bypassing the bundled router).

Everything else is on a separate server running Fedora. I used to run applications inside k3s, but got tired of the constant 10% CPU usage from the control plane trying to keep track of its state. Also didn't like that the containers I used weren't being rebuilt for security updates in packages (eg. openssl). Now, I just use plain old RPMs inside VMs.

The stuff I run:

* [Host] ssh: For CLI access and git hosting (just `git init --bare`; no fancy UIs like Gitea or Gitlab).

* [Host] samba: For all file access.

* [Host] zrepl: For zfs snapshot replication.

* [Host] syncthing: For syncing KeePass databases. Also for syncing pictures from my phone.

* [VM] jellyfin: For easy access to rips of my physical media collection. VFIO is very unstable with the 13th gen iGPU on my hardware, so I custom ffmpeg wrapper that SSH's back into the host for remote transcoding in a bwrap sandbox.

* [VM] pdns-auth + dnsdist: The powerdns authoritative server handles the internal DNS. I have DNSSEC set up and SSHFP records for everything, so I don't need to worry about ~/.ssh/known_hosts. All of my computers that rely on this run systemd-resolved and do the DNSSEC validation locally. I run a daemon [2] on every host, which handles pushing new A/AAAA records via TSIG signed updates to the DNS server.

dnsdist acts as a proxy which only allows access to the specific TXT record needed for ACME DNS challenges originating from Let's Encrypt's IP addresses. I may switch to a custom CA in the future when the name contraints x509 extension is better supported (so that a custom CA wouldn't be able to issue trusted certificates for domains that aren't mine).

* [VM] miniflux: For RSS.

* [VM] unifi-controller: For managing Ubiquiti wireless APs.

> So there really is no "good" way to solve the "decision making" problem.

Insofar as humanity hasn't yet figured out how to make good decisions all the time ;-) that's true. However, I posit that keeping decisions at as low a level as possible lets mistakes be more easily undone by higher levels in the hierarchy; hence Justice Brandeis's laboratories of democracy.
The effective demand for places like Manhattan comes from the highly productive economic activity that can be pursued in such places. So if the demand for places like Manhattan (or Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai etc.) really was that boundless, that would be plenty of reason to build as many of them as possible and speed towards that post-scarcity techno-utopia.

(But the ghost cities of China actually show how this can go wrong. So, as it turns out, you can only YIMBY so much.)

The point of comparison would be average reduction in investment vs average reduction in stock price. It’s true people invest less, but stocks take much larger drops than the reduction in the workforce.
Here's a more academic argument, although not quite mine: https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/opphil-2022-0...
The actual data of what's happened historically contradicts what you're claiming because you keep comparing poor strategy (eg individual or narrow stock selection and/or limited time periods) with correct strategy which demonstrably delivers the results claimed within the quantified risk parameters. It's just math and it is objectively correct.

That doesn't mean that there are no risks. There are always risks but the math allows us to quantify those risks to make informed choices. Executing an effective strategy requires understanding the data, identifying an approach that fits your goals and then, most of all, the financial discipline to rigorously stick to the plan over many years despite emotional ups and downs (eg fear in downturns, exuberance in upswings).

Personally, I've been executing such a plan for decades now and I can assure you it feels nothing like a "casino" or gambling. Instead, it's downright boring. Once a year I make a predetermined algorithmic rebalance to the broad portfolio and otherwise I do nothing and don't even think about it. When the portfolio was way up a couple years ago, I didn't cash in any extra nor even 'celebrate'. Now that the portfolio is down this year, I'm not selling or thinking about cutting "losses." Why? Because they aren't losses unless I need to sell and I don't need to sell now because those prior "winnings" from a few years ago are more than enough to cover several more years of downturn if necessary. I'm not worried. The same thing happened in 2001 and 2009 and both times the plan worked. So far, the overall multi-decade results are so far ahead of plan it would take a substantially larger and longer global crash than has ever happened to go negative (just as the article predicted at >20 years).

It's working, as predicted, and within parameters. What I'm doing isn't even complicated much less clever. It's just the standard "Bogglehead"-type strategy that's been studied forever, used by millions and freely available all over the web (eg buy and hold a balanced and broadly diversified self-managed portfolio of very low cost ETFs (VTI etc)). I have no stock broker, financial planner or advisor, I'm no financial guru and I only spend about 90 minutes once a year on my investment portfolio. Hell, I've never even bought an individual stock.
I'm guessing that you misunderstand the threats, and are much more likely to be hit by someone in an SUV. I've spent lots and lots of time in cities; I've never had a problem with a homeless person.
Since this is somewhat related - I've often wanted an open-source "tab player" (and more importantly tab _editor_) for various side project ideas I have kicking around in my head.

Is anyone aware of something like that? Most of the searching I've done hasn't turned up too much in the way of results.

Flat.io has a pretty cool offering, but if I could find something that would be fully under my control, that would be even cooler.
My Instant Pot-branded Instant Pot is pretty much useless as a slow cooker. Unfortunately, I donated mine upon getting the Instant Pot before realizing this. Maybe newer models have fixed this but the three times I tried, had to end up pressure cooking as it never got warm enough, even on high, to slow cook.
Agreed. I messed up filing last year due to not understanding how RSUs worked when I eventually sold some. They sent me a nice letter, told me what I owed and that was that. Paid it off and haven't heard anything since.
More theorizing. Why don't they just ask the homeless, on an individual level, why they're homeless? They know better than we do. It's not like they're animals, such that we can't ask them a simple set of questions.

My personal theory? The reason there's more homeless in LA and NYC is because LA and NYC are huge. There's more of everything in those cities. Why shouldn't there be more homelessness as well?

To answer your second question: no.

On a few of the biggest experiments the author list is completely flat and alphabetical. From outside the collaborations there's no way to know who actually wrote the paper or did any of the work described therein.

The best argument to keep it this way is that fewer people fight about who gets credit. But anyone with internal access and a bit of experience knows where to look. If you want to verify someone's contribution from the outside, you just have to find one of the other 3000 authors and ask them to do some sleuthing.

Personally I'd answer "no" to your first question too, but that's a bit more subjective and depends on the funding agency. Particle physicists have, for better or worse, thrown a wrench into the whole idea of authorship metrics, but they did so in a way that would benefit them by default: if the funding agency has a publication quota, everyone passes!

Of course this causes a few problems:

- If your funding agency hasn't caught on and you aren't in particle physics, you are effectively being cheated out of a better ranking.

- Many agencies are now disqualifying publications with over 1000 authors, in which case particle physicists get zero publications.

To deal with the second case, it's actually quite common to see smaller groups of scientists from these collaborations writing papers using their own simulated data, as a way to get publications with fewer authors. I would definitely count myself in the group that considers this situation absurd, but that's where we are.
Being literate definitely means some faculties get less practice. Practically nobody today can recite epic poetry like the Odyssey, for example. That lack of rote memorization skill may have unexpected side-effects.
