I just found your app a few weeks ago and it's exactly what I had been looking for in networking control on android. Thank you for making such a wonderful tool!

My only problem now is that android seems to only allow a single VPN 'tunnel'/connection, so I can't -so far as I know- simultaneously use your app with a dedicated VPN service like Mullvad. Is there any easy-ish way to get around that?

In my searching around, at least one person has suggested using something like insular/Island with all installed apps, then use the 'VPN' service on the non-insular side, but that to me seems to leave open all the 'system apps'.

I don't actually expect that you'd help some rando with this, but it's super cool to encounter a maker of an app that I love, so I thought I would ask on the off chance.
I think one of the best analysis of what is going on in Brazil. Greenwald and his husband are really enemies from Bolsonaro, but it didn't stop him to come up and say whats going on, regardless of the consequences.
The lump-of-labor thing was called a fallacy by someone arguing that the amount of labor to be done in society is not fixed: if you happen to have people with a bunch of time on their hands, they can usually find something useful to do that would not otherwise get done. And as for the rational actor model, everyone knows that it's not true; the reason people use it is that its predictions are often surprisingly close to the truth. ("All models are wrong, but some are useful.")
I needed that. Thank you!
Commentary on its progress.
Consider Julian Jaynes' thesis in his landmark 1977 book "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind": consciousness is a learned process that came about only 3,000 years ago and is still developing. I very much doubt Jaynes considered all humans prior to 1000 B.C.E. to be sociopaths; if they were, it's doubtful they would have survived to make it to that point.

Consider, for example, the Egyptian Empire, which rose during the period of the New Kingdom (c. 1570-1069 B.C.E.) to its zenith.

>"They Were Noble Automatons Who Knew Not What They Did:" Volition in Jaynes' The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind

Abstract: An important question in consciousness research concerns its origins. In Julian Jaynes' book, The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, he suggests that consciousness arose rather recently in human history, sometime between the composition of The Iliad and The Odyssey. Although Jaynes' work as a theory of consciousness has achieved a great deal of attention (and indeed criticism), what has not been widely noted is the prominent role of volition in his theory. In this article I hope to draw attention to these overlooked aspects of his theory, in particular the fact that volition is central to Jaynes' definition of consciousness and that it is changes in the nature of volitional experience that mark, for Jaynes, the emergence of consciousness.

This, from the WSJ article, is quite thought provoking:

>We need a reverse Turing test: Let’s see if the computer can tell whether it’s talking to a human or another computer. If it can tell the difference, then maybe it knows what consciousness is. ChatGPT definitely can’t pass that test yet: It doesn’t know whether it’s responding to a living person with a mind or a disjointed list of prefab questions.
I’m pretty sure creating a weapon like that would make you an accomplice at least, maybe a co-conspirator…
Even further back. Since at least the time of Greek philosophers.
My point was that we've reached the mid-term status quo. If you're still wearing a mask, you're going to be wearing it for a while.
Good policies account for people not following the policy. Since this is aviation related, let's take "no smoking on a plane" as an example. There are "No smoking" signs everywhere and it's announced over the speakers several times prior to takeoff. Yet there's still an ashtray in the lavatory in case somebody disregards every warning so that they're not throwing a lit cigarette into a bin filled with paper products.
Great suggestion and I agree, but you can get some great deals on wayfair for cheap, if you are careful.

1: And that's the problem: people believing they know what addiction is and applying it to pretty much anything they or others like to do. It's like how people who are a little finicky would say, "Yeah, that's my ADHD." but it's not. The other groups advocating for useless loose definitions of "addiction" are typically scam groups that run paid seminars for things like "porn addiction". About as legit as anti-homosexual camps.

2: This is a legit argument. In the past people may have used the word addiction to cover many things. But it is no longer the year 1900.

3: I guess we better wait till your prediction additions to the DSM6 happen then. I think it more likely that gambling disorder will be removed than additional behavioral "addiction" disorders put in. I'm not sure what the folding of aspergers into autism spectrum disorders has to do with this?

4: Claiming that there are psysiological withdrawl symptoms from watching youtube is absurd. There are not. Show me the journal article supporting such an outlandish claim. Dependency also has a meaning in this context and merely missing something psychologically isn't it. Psychological dependence is not physiological dependence and neither are addiction. Just like how no one is addicted to benzodiazapines: they become physiologically dependent and experience widthdrawl but addiction requires more.

5: Personal anecdotes and emotional appeals are not valid arguments. I'm sorry the person is having psych troubles but "youtube" is not the cause.
Another one: sometimes, especially in large organizations, there are so many rules that you can't find anyone who actually knows them. Making it unlikely they're being followed.

In large org thinking, if something bad happens, and you add a rule, then it's fixed.

The problem is that this is not compatible with human psychology.

This leads to many rules, the rules are unstructured and impossible to learn, the rules probably also contradict each other.

In my experience, a rule without automatic enforcement should be the absolute last thing to depend on. If you do this, your org is broken.

The Toyota Production System with it's blame on process design instead of humans is still the best way to avoid these issues IMO.

Do 5-whys where human error is not allowed as a root cause. Design your process with poka yoke in mind. If somebody can forget something they will. Don't depend on it.
> Engineer closest to the fault gets scapegoated and fired

That happens. But not every time, and even "usually" requires some statistics collecting to be sustained.

Very often people just say "yes, we learned an expensive lesson", and change something that may or may not help the next time it happens.

oh you watched one video about MMA? Here's 10 million things about MMA. Oh you watched a video about the war in ukraine? Here's another 10 million videos about the war in ukraine.

When I first studied recommendation algorithms I remember the classic "people who buy hamburgers and hamburger buns also buy ketchup and mustard" sort of things. On youtube its more like people who watch a video about anything are doomed to be recommended further videos about that thing forever, and adjacent 'also watched' related topics aren't really a thing.
Why does it matter what distro you're running on? You shouldn't be relying on anything outside of the tarball you ship, besides maybe glibc. Is there anything which can't be made to run from a self contained directory?

I'm sure Docker's great if you want to guarantee that the thing inside can't access the host system, using all kinds of kernel mechanisms, but that's generally the opposite of what you want for application software.

The main advantage of Docker for application distribution that I see is that it's lazy. You don't have to worry about keeping track of what's required, you don't have to fiddle with paths, you just hack until something works and then ship it. That's fine if you prioritize your time over your user's time.

Hauling all those coins and tokens up the stairs to street level by hand would have been a huge pain. Many MetroCards are sold in stores, so the MTA doesn't have to handle the cash at all.

For one year Ticketmaster sold Metrocards for the MTA. Ticketmaster didn't like the business because the MTA didn't allow them to overcharge the customers. Ticketmaster just got a 2%-3% commission, the MTA's bulk discount. They had to charge for shipping at their cost, and could not attach ads.

I actually had some figures around energy impact in earlier drafts of the piece. The issue I kept running into was the range of data - trucking is more inefficient than rail. But the question is how much, it could be as little as 2x more energy or as much as 100x more energy.

It depends on factors like load weight, truck conditions, rail route, and a bunch more.

Sorry to hear about your bounce rate. But even though ADs do not correlate to more sales, your message / slogan / unique selling point is in the minds of prospects, and the purchases will be potentially delayed.

I'm only saying this because as a consumer, I bought stuff roughly a year later when I had the money, even after seeing the AD a year ago! ADs plant the seed, then sales naturally follow, albeit delayed.

Has anyone estimated what the impact on the trucking industry would be if the US repealed the Jones Act? Most of America's biggest cities are adjacent to ocean or other waterways, and water transport is cheaper than land transport. So it seems fairly plausible to me that the American trucking industry in its current form is basically just a huge source of excess carbon emissions, created as a result of bad regulation.

During my formative years as a new SE, our focus - mine, the team's, the managers' - was always on functionality and features. I was coding with C++, Java, and Python in those places. One of those companies sold (and still sells) critical equipment that's quite close to all of us :). Security was either a secondary concern or the responsibility of a dedicated team who were part of deployment.

It's only gradually, over many years, that I built up my knowledge of secure coding, especially after I started dabbling in front-end web development.

I'd have thought things have improved now because web and cloud are the first choices everywhere. But after seeing your post, I'm wondering if what I experienced is still the norm.

Addition is commutative with floating point numbers, what you show is actually an associativity problem in disguise.

Subtraction is obviously not commutative, so let's rewrite as an addition.

x + 1 - x => x + 1 + (-x)
x - x + 1 => x + (-x) + 1

Now write the implicit parenthesis

x + 1 + (-x) => (x + 1) + (-x)
x + (-x) + 1 => (x + (-x)) + 1

Now since we assumed addition is commutative, let swap a few things

(x + 1) + (-x) => (-x) + (x + 1)
(x + (-x)) + 1 => ((-x) + x) + 1

And you get the classic associativity problem. If, by swapping things, we would have gotten the same expression, it would have been a contradiction, proving that addition was not commutative, but it is not the case here.

It means that if addition is not associative, which we know is the case, then your example doesn't prove that addition is not commutative.

Of course, I didn't prove that in general, addition is commutative, but it has no reason not to be.

> I think we need to be more rational about the real reasons Linux is/was so successful.

I always think there were two reasons, but one of them didn't matter. The first reason, that didn't matter, is that Linux was free. That didn't matter because BSD was also free. The second reason, and the main reason, is that it had the force of popularity, or verve, behind it by a fanatical group known colloquially as the Penquinistas. By and large I believe they were young developers that often crashed their laptops, and they liked Linux because it booted faster. I honestly believe Linux taking over the datacenter in 2012ish was entirely arbitrary. Booting faster is fundamentally a silly metric in the datacenter. But the takeaway is the change to Linux was driven by developers, not systems administrators, who for the most part were caught with their pants down and complained that Linux wasn't ready (to success in 2006 with IBM, which rolled back their global Linux deployment).
for Sure, will create a lot of them.

I am addicted to mindlessly scrolling YouTube as well. What has worked well for me to break this are these habits

1. I use iPhone focuses to set times during the workday where time wasting apps are hidden

2. I have blocked YouTube.com so I can't see recommended videos and instead get redirected to https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions. That way if I do watch YouTube it's only who I'm subscribed to and feels more intentional.

3. I use the momentum extension so that new tabs don't show me my most frequently accessed websites (usually time wasters)

4. I use leech block for Firefox (stayfocusd for chrome) which limits the time I can spend on sites in my addiction category (where YouTube resides)

5. I generally try to be more conscious when I'm on YouTube. I stop and ask myself questions like "can I be working on something else?" "Is this actually helping me right now?", "is there something more important I can be working on?"

Lastly as with any reduction you need to fill that time with other things. If you cut out 3 hours of YouTube a day then don't expect to spend those 3 hours doing something more productive. You'd be better off if you took those three hours and did 1 hour of reading (nothing super productive, non fiction, thrillers, drama, etc), one hour with going for a walk or chores or something easy, and one hour of actually working on a project or goal. The break down can change, but the most important thing is not expecting to be hyper productive during all the extra time you have. You still have to balance it out if you want it to be sustainable.

When I was building PitchGround, this is what I did. My target audience were mostly small business owners, agencies and marketers.

So I built a community around these people and start providing them with value contents, started doing some webinars, partners and collaboration.

Built an initial set of audience, and then launched PitchGround.

I will always ask questions in the community, which I would use as a way to validate my idea, get feedback and more.

This helped me connect with my audience better. When I launched PitchGround, I already had initial audience to begin with.

I continue doing the same till date.

[First off, the colors are so saturated--are they left over from Christmas?]

I love the idea and have been striving for the same. Not only don't I want popular news but I also don't want shallow or basic posts which may even harder to filter out.

My take on it[0] was to show everything, but grouped so that you could skip entire sections--"twitter" has been a great section to skip. Each section is reverse-chronological and the entire page only shows today's. [Click date at top for yesterday]

The goal was for the first uncategorized section to have deep-dive/edge stories that I find the most interesting. Lately I suspect that these are even further down than I'm scanning as there are a smaller and smaller percentage of these left once the rest are sectioned off.

I've thought about crowd-sourcing tags/tagging but haven't thought about it clearly enough to implement.

Seems like there's a semantic problem here. epoll won. It clearly "surpassed" its competitors by most definitions. Arguments against it aren't grounded in epoll's capability or performance. They're about aesthetics. People used to kqueues think epoll is ugly. Well, OK. I think that's fair. But being beautiful isn't sufficient to declare a software feature as having "surpassed" another, again by conventional definitions. It's just a way to win an argument.

Really the epoll nonsense is a perfect microcosm of exactly this kind of argument. For 30 years the BSD folks have been making fundamentally aesthetic arguments into a market that demands practical solutions. And... losing, kinda.

FWIW: I think the btrfs argument is rather stronger on a technical level. The problem there is that people stopped caring about local storage filesystems about 10-15 years ago. Local devices are a solved problem, and all the innovation in storage technology is happening in the cloud today, in front of software layers that are only vaguely understood as "filesystems" in the Unix sense.
