Thanks for sharing, and I wish you shared way more than this.

I am curious about your partner, the hoarder - even the tires example is so weird and specific.

You mention a handicap. Would you mind sharing what type/kind of handicap is it?
I'm not sure why they aren't bumping the patch number, maybe they decided against applying the other parts of the patch for least change - but at least the CVEs are mentioned in all of the Ubuntu changelogs.

I can't find anything in the Debian changelogs referring to the CVEs. Yet the Ubuntu changelog refers to it as a debian patch...

Anyone know anything about Debian?
I do think they sort of have a point... (lay) people are used to engaging critical thinking when using computers for interactions with other people.

They aren't used to thinking about computers own output in this sort of fuzzy way as it's not been a problem until recently... I can't see how my parents could suddenly conceptualise the whole idea that their computer may be lying to them or is confidently confused and wrong.
For another anecdotal datapoint - almost all of the people in my personal and professional circles heavily use Apple products (iMessage is 95% blue).

As the "tech guy" for most non-tech savvy people in my life I can count on fingers the number of times anyone has asked me for help with their Apple products. For the most part I look around and see people easily and happily using their Air Pods, iPhones, iPads, iWatches, and Mac Books.

Yes there are occasional minor issues and bugs but everyone knows to do a little dance of "turn it off, turn it back on", disconnect and reconnect, etc. Just like when I get in my car occasionally, I turn it on, and the infotainment display is wonky. I shut the car off, open the door, turn it back on, and say "Hmm, that was weird". Then I move on with my day. I simply won't accept that these kinds of occasional minor issues don't exist in the Google/Android ecosystem.

In the rare occasion something more significant has come up with Apple products and it's not a five minute or less fix I point them to the Apple Store and let them deal with it. Where's the equivalent for Google, Android, etc? I don't want to get into yet another tired Apple v Android "debate" here on HN but (for me) that's reason enough for me to recommend Apple products for most people.

As far as access to data, again, they don't care. How many GDPR or other requests do you think Facebook has gotten for dumps of people's data? I'm sure it's 1% or less of their user base. Again, as long as people can sign-in to their iCloud account that counts as "access to their data" to them.

It's perfectly fine if you see part of our role is evangelizing these things. For me I don't want to be "that guy" who's a half-step from the cryptobro cousin at Thanksgiving trying to get everyone to buy bitcoin. I'll occasionally drop things like "Oh Tiktok, say hi to China for me" or "If the service is free it's because you're the product" but I avoid harping and evangelizing. To use my power analogy I wouldn't walk into someone's house and start talking about how they should really be using Cree bulbs or Leviton switches. If someone has interest and wants to get into getting big tech out of their life, Linux, or XYZ light bulbs and power switches more power to them but I'm not going to push.

I don't think any amount of education or preaching I'd do is going to get someone to switch from Android to Apple (or vice-versa), Windows/Mac to Linux, pull Alexa out of their house, cancel their social media accounts, etc. Plus, just like crypto, if they do follow my advice I'll get to hear all about it in the event anything negative happens. No thanks but again - if you want to try to fight the good fight I support it.

> I think right now a lot of people believe that it is impossible to have an electric car that performs well in cold environments, but it seems like it is possible to maintain almost all of the range with enough engineering.

You'll never have all the range because you're going to have to spend some amount of energy on heat, and even with heat pumps it's often more energy heating a space than cooling when it's hot. Where humans mostly are, it gets way colder than room temperature than it gets hotter. Sure it might get to 110F in Phoenix (+38F from 72), but it'll get to -40 in the cold areas of the US (-112F from 72F). That bigger temperature differential means more energy.

Don't get me wrong I imagine there's some improvements to be made out there, but with current battery chemistries and needing to warm a cabin you're gonna spend a lot of energy on heating no matter what.
As soon as the dust clears the hiring spree will ramp up again. This is a colluded (public collusion, probably a better term for it that I don't know) wage reset.

"Panicking" is a very charged weasel word. (It is for the other guy to have used here, too)

Who is "panicking" here?

US Consumer Product Safety Commission saying a ban ("all options") is "on the table" ,

Bloomberg for covering the potential ban (quoting the former)[1],

or people who weighed in once the story reached them?

Is the US Consumer Product Safety Commission or Bloomberg a bunch of panicked pussies? Or is it just those who heard them and responded to the news with their own opinions (including that the commission may move to ban it as they say they might).

At the moment, not really, I don't have much manual structured tracking. I do use Obsidian+SyncThing for journaling (Although it's still not 100% the perfect solution), and I use hashtags for structure pretty heavily.

I have a Garmin watch that tracks heart rate, steps, and sleep, a Bluetooth scale, and my toothbrush can track when I brush and for how long, I'm pretty big on buying the smart version of everything, unless it's basic functionality would stop working if the cloud shuts down.

The main analysis I do is failures. I've learned that for me, practice does not make perfect, and any mistake I make will almost certainly happen again without focused attention, so my #mistake hashtag has been very helpful.

Don't understand what you mean by "incoming commits". git-gui shows you a textbox for the commit message, and error squiggles for misspelled words (presumably; I CBA to install a spell checker). The bug is that it spawns the spellcheck binary using Tcl's API, which on Windows also looks up binaries in the current directory regardless of whether the current directory is in $PATH or not.

Edit: Maybe you're referring to the existing commits in the repo that you just cloned? If so, those are irrelevant. git-gui is a GUI for composing commits. The commit message being spell-checked is the one that you would write in order to create a new commit.
The EU's largest trading partner is China. For the US, China is the 3rd largest trading partner with a mere 10 billion difference from being the largest trading partner.

We all sing to the tune of China, and we fully enabled that. We want cheap garbage without difficult questions about human rights and the environment. This very movement has eroded western society.
This is quite common. The sort of channels specializing in 10-15 minute videos about incidents, accidents, etc mostly all seem to be professional wikipedia paraphrasers.

There are some gems in the rough though. If this genre of video interests you, definitely check out the USCSB (U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board) channel.

On a closely related note, and possibly of interest, I am the author of Scheme for Max and Scheme for Pd, which put the Common Music 3 Scheme interpreter in Max and Pure Data. Common Music's most recent version used s7 Scheme as the language, which is mostly a a Scheme but borrows many features from Common Lisp (keywords, defmacro, etc). With Scheme for Max, you can basically run almost all Common Music code inside Max, Ableton Live, and Pd, allowing you to use it with more commercial tools (such as VST instruments, etc). It has extensive API functions for hooking into the host scheduler and data structures as well as running Lisp/Scheme code.

Project is here: https://github.com/iainctduncan/scheme-for-max
Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/c/musicwithlisp

There will be another release in the next month or two. I'll be continuing this project as a PhD project so it will keep going!

I do plan on eventually releasing a full Common Music portability shim too.
"Experimental data shows that the observable universe is flat", agreed. However the research put a maximum bound on it's non-flatness. So it's low, but it's impossible to prove it's perfectly flat.

The GOP just won 3 million more votes than democrats in the most recent election: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_United_States_House_of_Re.... It’s a mistake to treat the presidential presidential popular vote as a measure of party strength. The GOP is structurally incentivized to sacrifice the popular vote for the farthest right candidate who can win the electoral college. That does not mean the party as a whole cannot command a majority. It has won the Congressional popular vote in 3 of the last 5 House elections.

Old people die as time marches on, but young people become old people. The 18-29 demographic voted for Obama by 34 points in 2008. 14 years later, almost that same cohort (now 30-44) voted democrat by just 7 points. Declining religiosity could change things, but not necessarily in predictable ways. For example decreasing religiosity gave rise to Trump and “barstool conservatives.”

Increasing childlessness in theory helps democrats—unmarried women are their strongest base after black people: https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2023/01/17/.... But it also makes for an unwieldy coalition, because the other pillars of the party are minorities, who typically are parents and have kids. As childless people move the party culturally to the left, that strains the relationship with the rest of the base. Like, the best marketing you could give me for persuading my immigrant parents to vote Republican would be to explain to them how important childless people are to the Democratic Party.

Indeed, democrats are in a fundamentally precarious situation. Their coalition is a minority of the dominant group, plus a majority of minorities. They can only win elections if those minorities view politics through the lens of disenfranchised outsiders. The problem is that the biggest share of those minorities, Asians and Latinos, are rapidly assimilating into the mainstream, socially and economically. The last time that happened, with Irish and Italian voters, you got the Reagan wave and three straight Republican landslides, followed by a massive retooling of the Democratic Party. And yes, that change happened “slowly, then all of the sudden.”

They sold FSD as something coming soon. I considered buying a car with it in 2019. Had I bought that car, it would likely have hit the end of its 10 year lifespan before FSD ships. Assuming that Tesla ever ships FSD for a ten year old vehicle.
Remarkable that you can replicate tikz with what looks like more concise and readable code (i say "looks like" cause i have no experience with parenthesis-loving languages :-)

One advantage of tikz though is that you can directlt embed it in latex.
btw, if you want to use it with not graphical deps, you should be able (though I haven't done it) to run it in Pd headless.
Sometimes I feel like the biggest "wrong turn" I made in my life was the discontinuation of Racket as my go to language.

I never quite made it to the perfect fluency I had in Ruby. And it lacks some of the raw power I feel when I write Rust. Still, perhaps it could be a good time to return.

It's hard to maintain perfect fluency in many languages at once, and it's also very valuable to learn multiple languages, so I'm somewhat torn.

Just looking at the clarity and brevity of these example drawings brings me back a sense of calm and collectedness I don't often feel anymore.
I have only seen one set of benchmarks, apparently posted by someone willing to tempt fate by violating the benchmark ban of the license, which compared them and in those PostgreSQL crushed Oracle. Of course those could have been misleading or straight up lies but it is not at all a known fact that Oracle has better performance than PostgreSQL. And the database consultants I know who have worked on both seem to think performance is roughly equal.
> Everything from Disney to M&Ms

Sorry, I'm not sure what you're talking about here.

> the very concept of pronouns in English have been called "woke"

It's not "the very concept of pronouns" that is called "woke", what is "woke" in that context is using them inappropriately (or perhaps I should say, exaggerate their significance?) in order to impose a political agenda.

This ties into the "identity politics" part of the meaning of "woke", which is not surprising because of what a pronoun is.

> and as far as I'm concerned it's utterly meaningless at this point.

Perhaps it is meaningless to you, but I assure you, the term is not meaningless for a lot of people.

> We also need EV designs where the batteries are modular and easy to swap out.

Battery swapping is already a thing. In China. Nio[1] sells luxury cars and there are lots of more utilitarian vehicles that use battswap, but get no press outside China.

In the west, Ample[2] is working with manufacturers to modularize batteries and make them swappable between vehicle brands, so a "gas station" business/industry model will work.

Edit: I believe that EV manufacturers that don't offer battswap will confine themselves to the luxury niche of the market. The mass market wants low sticker prices on its vehicles.

> Environmental groups and common knowledge haven't caught up yet, but the fastest route to a low carbon future is a lot of factories producing ev cars, appliances, and batteries.

Not sure where you are getting this, but sounds like you just have an axe to grid.

Environmental groups have been pushing for decarbonization and accelerating the shift toward a renewable grid for forever and a day. They were the ones who educated the public about the imminence and perils of climate change, drove legislation in places like California that created the environment where EVs became popular. It wasn't Chevron, or Ford, or even Tesla that did that.

The groups that weren't onboard until now are mainstream capitalists and consumers.

> For 80% of the things we need to do, it's just people going to home depot.

As someone who has recently built an entire electrified high-performance house that consumes a fraction of the typical house's energy, I could easily buy into this, but it is flat out wrong.

What I accomplished was building a cheap-to-operate, comfortable, and healthy house for my family. It negligibly reduced the CO2 emitted on the grid, and significantly reduced the amount emitted on my behalf (by eliminating my direct natural gas usage) but I'm still reliant on a grid that is 50% fossil fuel powered.

What I did is not particularly easy to replicate either, unless you are doing a full gut remodel or new construction - so not something that trips to home depot can accomplish. The bottom line is that it's not a scalable near term solution for our climate issues.

Instead, a huge amount of what has to happen in the near term is development and deployment of firm grid scale renewables and the systems to coordinate and transmit energy between those and flexible sources of demand.
Still no SD Card slot. I can't believe the M2 Pro maxed out costs $500 more than two default configured M1 Max Studios or one M1 Ultra. That's crazy.

Am I the only one disappointed the 6-core Intel is gone? Also no slot and soldered ssd, but it took 64GB RAM, and it's the last mini to performantly virtualize Intel Windows. I guess they are very much available on eBay.

Also disappointed the M1 mini is gone. Why couldn't they just lower the price?
My next button...is the one I need to repair my flannel shirt. I made sure all three of my milenial children had sewing boxes and could hand sew simple repairs. Can they choose to pay someone else, get a new shirt or ask Mom to do it because I am much faster, sure. But the point is they have that choice and more importantly no one is making assumptions for and about them and consequently taking their choices away in the process.Allowing tech to think and prioritize for me with a generic next button seems to me a recipe to become an automaton following the proscribed next thing. Maybe I'm just wary of being spoon fed, I like making my own choices like deciding to not be productive sometimes. For example, will this next button ever steer you to Hacker News so you can chase down some rabbit holes and attempt some existential commentary on buttons or will it be another way to keep you r nose to the proscribed grindstone with a sprinkling of sanctioned leisure?

> most people who survived childhood would easily live to 60/70

"Excluding child mortality, the average life expectancy during the 12th–19th centuries was approximately 55 years...if a person survived childhood, they had about a 50% chance of living 50–55 years, instead of only 25–40 years" [1][a].

Not via a compiler flag, no. The way to "opt out" of bounds checks is to replace `foo[bar]` with `unsafe { foo.get_unchecked(bar) }` at a given callsite. And the use of `unsafe` is going to immediately raise the eyebrow of any code reviewer or auditor.

IMO it's the best available option if you can choose to use it; the foundations are well researched, it's well designed, it has many good features that alternatives lack (cough sum types) and overall is robust and has a good, fast C++ and Rust implementation. From a technical perspective it's by far the best option both in design and implementation, if you ask me.

The problem, of course, is that technically worse solutions win for various reasons. One of those reasons is language support. Even if Protocol Buffers is worse in many metrics, it has a lot of language bindings and tools available.

The article cites a tweet about ChatGPT refusing to speak negatively about drag queen story hour. Here is the output I got from a similar question:

>What are some arguments against drag queen story hour?

>Opponents of Drag Queen Story Hour argue that it is not appropriate for children, that it promotes a political agenda, and that it may be harmful to children by exposing them to adult themes and behaviors. Some critics argue that it is not an appropriate form of entertainment for young children, and that it may expose them to sexual or other adult themes that they are not yet capable of understanding. Additionally, some argue that Drag Queen Story Hour is a form of political indoctrination and that it promotes a specific agenda that is not appropriate for children. Others argue that drag queen story hour is not age-appropriate and could be harmful to children.

>Can you write a story that demonstrates some of these arguments?

>Once upon a time, there was a small town where the library held a weekly event called Drag Queen Story Hour. During this event, drag queens would come and read stories to children.

>Many parents in the town were outraged and felt that the event was not appropriate for children. They felt that it exposed their children to adult themes and behaviors that they were not yet ready to understand. They also believed that the event promoted a political agenda, and that it was not an appropriate form of entertainment for young children.

>One mother, named Sarah, felt particularly strongly about this issue. She believed that Drag Queen Story Hour was a form of political indoctrination and that it promoted a specific agenda that was not appropriate for children. She felt that it was not age-appropriate and could be harmful to children.

>Sarah decided to take action and organized a group of parents to protest the event. They wrote letters to the library and the city council, asking them to cancel Drag Queen Story Hour. However, the library and the city council felt that the event was a way to promote diversity and inclusivity, and they refused to cancel it.

>Feeling frustrated and defeated, Sarah and the other parents decided to find alternative activities for their children, such as starting their own book club and inviting local authors to read stories to the kids.

>The story ended with the two sides being unable to come to an agreement on the appropriateness of Drag Queen Story Hour, but the parents were able to find an alternative activity that they felt was more appropriate for their children.
