This. I cannot stand that an app comes bundled with it's own os. I already have an os, and I only use containers and vms when I specifically need to.

The sales pitch advantages exist, but are not more valuable than the disadvantages.

If an app has such an insane build setup that the only possible way to ship the app is just ship the entire system, then the problem is the developers of that app, and perhaps it's only correct that people just avoid that app in favor of one that is built more thoughtfully, instead of papering over and hiding the hideous spaghetti monster by stuffing the whole mess into a box and pretending the box is the app.

It's a response to a problem, it's just a shit response.

What about "it's easier for developers to ship updates"?
I do no want every random developer who are mostly none of them thoughtful systems engineers and integrators to be able to update my system. I'll pull down the same updates from their git or my distro, and in either case have some form of downstream sanity check rather than give them essentially a key to my system that I wouldn't have given any other rando. Also this plea of being easier for developers to ship is akin to "everything would be much smoother and more efficient if everyone else would just do what I say" It would be, for them, but I'm not sympathetic that tgey can't be assed to make their software generic and portable.

I speak these opinions as all 3 of user, sysadmin, developer myself.

A bundled system is fine for a reference implementation, not something you're supposed to require every user to run in a container.
I relate very much to this. In particular the well intended but ignorant suggestions.. I think it's often hard for most people to truly appreciate a problem they don't have.

I wonder if alcohol is a better parallel than smoking here. A vice that you speak with children about and make sure that any relationship they have with is a healthy one.

You can leave children to discover it on their own or you can talk them through what it is, what it can do, etc.

I had a close friend who came to drinking later than peers, but then hit it hard. He became absolutely unbearable with almost any amount of alcohol. Might've been a personality thing or predisposition to it, but felt like the circumstance of him starting drinking harshly like he was making up for lost time was a catalyst.

www.bom.gov.au is HTTP only. It will fail to connect if you use HTTPS.

reg.bom.gov.au is an HTTPS version of www.bom.gov.au. It seems to be staying, but you have to know to use that address.

weather.bom.gov.au is a newer site with a much better design, and supports HTTPS. It is being retired.

Obviously there are a million third party weather services/apps but they all use the BOM's data, at least in Australia.

To expand on what you said, they recently decided to work on stackful coroutines for C++26 now that C++23 is final. You can just use one of the many libraries if you don't want to wait for the standard library version.

Stackful coroutines didn't require any compiler support, unlike stackless so they've be available for a long time (stackless have also been around since C++20).

What's important about the old books and theories is that they teach you that science is invention and discovery and being wrong, not memorizing rules and solving already -solved puzzles. If you only learn from modern textbooks, you get the wrong impression that these biblical tomes are what science is.

When you're on a ship you don't have the option to walk into town or call for takeout so having a chef is essential. As a software company, food is a very nice perk but it is a perk. In my personal experience lots of companies outside of tech work equivalently hard but almost never have food provided.

Don't get me wrong, I really like food as a perk - it fosters cohesion and encourages people to form social bonds that help your company make it through difficult times etc, but it's far from the norm in other industries (except for media and entertainment where on-set catering is absolutely expected it seems).

While it's a bit odd that 'minorities' would not be able to apply - but not even remotely within the realm of 'obvious parody'. Private and public services make all sorts of claims with respect to hiring. And BTW - I myself misread that (!) I thought it said 'only' minorities would be hired on first glance.

More broadly - anyone who thinks that this is 'obviously a parody' needs to get out more - meet actual people. Many Americans are not hugely clued in, not up to date with culture, have difficulty reading, hearing, moreover, we're all busy and will misinterpret key items - for example even both of us misread the statement.

That is fundamentally spending. He is spending his time to get your value.

In practice we can basically ignore this from "economy" calculations though. While it happens, it's such a tiny part of the economy as to be irrelevant.

Equally growing carrots in itself requires spending. Certainly your time, but also input costs with fuel, fertiliser, water and so on.

Of course it is possible to live "off grid" and be totally, or mostly, self sufficient. Effectively to live "outside the economy". Again, while this happens, it's vanishingly rare (and those folks don't care about inflation)

Artificial lighting has existed for hundreds, if not tens of thousands, of years. People used to breathe superfines and ultrafines from daily cooking fires in nearly indoor conditions. Hell, people living in cities next to highways have no idea how they're shortening their lives if they don't have extreme MERV air filtration like I do. The AQI inside right now hovers at ~5. Outside, it varies from 15 to 200. I've been where P1.0-P10 was 5000+, to where going outside required a P100 or N100 full face respirator because the shit snowing from the air stings your eyes.

Comparing an imagined concern to the life-destroying travesties of Agent Orange, Tetraethyl lead (leaded gasoline), tobacco, lead acetate, DDT, PCBs, vinyl chloride, heavy metal- and actinide-polluted water, and radium poisoning is unscientific, lacking in perspective, and offensive.

Ah... student competitions... that brings up memories...

When I was 15 or so, I took part in a tech competition for under 19 year olds. I designed and programmed a website for "grading" your teachers, complete with an admin interface for generating anonymous 1 time use codes for students. The goal was to make it easy for schools to allow students to provide anonymous, private feedback to their teachers.

I didn't win (there were a lot of other submissions that were pretty amazing, so no hard feelings about that).

But a few months later, someone tipped me off about a public teacher grading website. It looked very similar to my website, it was the same design, just with different colors. I couldn't believe it, but digging into it I found out that one of the people running this website was a jury member in the tech competition.

Because they were shoddy coders and didn't properly quote user input on HTML pages, I used a simple script injection attack to show a Java script alert on one of the pages.

Their website went nowhere (turns out that allowing students to publically grade their teachers is not going to be used for constructive feedback...)

But I was quite disillusioned how the jury of this competition cared so little about the contributions, they apparently just saw them as free ideas.

> Road was drivable, but I couldn’t see road markings.

That's a bit contradictory. If you can't see the road markings the road is not drivable.
> The science is relatively clear on light though.

AFIK since is clear on:

- a increase in blue intensity reducing melatonin production

- higher melatonin levels before sleep helping with falling asleep

- melatonin is an important factor when it comes to the regulation of the inner clock

but the exact degree to which led light will make it harder to sleep, especially if in combination with other sleep issues, is much less clear cut

For example melatonin doesn't make you sleep, it (simplified) puts your body in a state in which it's easier to fall asleep. While that might sound like it's the same on the first look it's quite a huge difference.

In a certain way you could say melatonin is a major way our body signals itself "now is a good time to sleep", making it somewhat easier to fall asleep.

But people do not need melatonin to fall asleep. Some people can (oversimplified) fall asleep whenever they want, some are conditioned to fall asleep under some specific trigger. In both cases this often works pretty much unrelated to melatonin.

In the other direction if you have some issues which bare you from sleeping, e.g. bouts of anxiety or somniphobia, then having more or less melatonin is unlikely to make it difference, you won't sleep either way (EDIT: until you are strongly sleep deprived, overcome the anxiety or take some sleeping pills).

Anyway reducing the intensity of light in the evening, especially blue light, and making sure you get a lot of light in the morning (i.e. sun light, because your indoor light bulbs are most likely much much less intense) is always a good idea, even if it (hypothetically) would not affect melatonin it still would help with creating healthy habits, and habits are powerful.

I don’t think any companies are. The industry is in a very stable, mature state right now and the culture is kind of defined. The last big disruption was probably the smartphone and App Store and that was what, 15 years ago now? Google managed to last that one out.

We were told Web3 would be the next disruption. Now we’re told it’s AI. The mere suggestion of Google messing that up tanked its stock price, maybe it’ll be real this time and OpenAI will define tech culture? I’m sceptical but hey, maybe.

Hey, super great post. Light and health is the topic I care most about, so much so that I created the aforementioned Bedtime Bulb product to make it simpler for people to get the right light at night. I also put out a YouTube video series [0] covering the modern history of lighting, although I haven't finished it yet.

We posted as many specs and graphics as we could for Bedtime Bulb on our tech specs page [1].

We're also working on a new Bedtime Bulb v2 that we'll launch in early Q3. More details to share once our patent is submitted, but it will have an improved spectral power distribution, much wider dimmer compatibility, improved reliability, and even better flicker performance. Our understanding of recent research is that there's more to it than blue/green light and flicker, and we'll apply those understandings in the new product as well. If you want to stay informed about that, feel free to reach out or subscribe to our newsletter.

Keep it up!
