CEQA lawsuits come from everywhere, not just neighbors. That's part of why they're so vexatious. Advocacy and lobbying organizations push hard against CEQA reforms as they regularly abuse CEQA to fight developments they oppose for reasons having little or nothing to do with the health of natural ecosystems, or even anything to do with the neighborhood.

Whatever personality trait you’re talking about is orthogonal to introversion/extroversion.

There are many introverts who manage their social time specifically because they care about the impressions they make on others and find it effortful to manage them; and many extroverts who do the opposite specifically because they don’t think at all about such impressions.
This isn’t even a moral principal - design systems and projects according to this discipline and you yourself will be repaid in extra robustness and less work in the long run, as well as happier users. Plus it is fun coming up with work around for obscure corner cases.

While I like Debian and don't think running Sid is necessarily a bad thing, I think it's unfair to say as risky as Arch. Arch is the most stable system I've ever used, by far. Debian Sid has broken for me in the past, and I didn't even use it that long.
> Oh wow, I wonder how Telegram manages it...

It's simply the experience and some of the tech stack from VK because most people who built Telegram worked at VK before that. VK, being a Facebook-like social media service, allowed people to upload all kinds of things — photos, videos, music, and even arbitrary files up to 200 MB. Telegram even praises itself on "unlimited cloud storage". I never asked anyone about it, but I'm sure that it works out to each user, on average, not consuming much storage, because most of the media content people send is compressed images.
> How do philosophers go from something like GiveWell to something like fending off the AI apocalypse?

It's simply that writers like to write, forum commenters like to comment, philosophy academics like to publish papers, and there's only so many ways you can rehash The Life You Can Save.

Advocating for mosquito nets and praziquantel is like advocating that programmers should use version control - it may be true, but it's not going to drive traffic to your blog or impress people with how forward-thinking you are.

All Google One plans now include VPN access
A decade ago, where I was working at, an administrator complained that one of his virtual machines had a slow IO, and to get more objective data, I told him that use the dd command to check the speed of the disk, he was supposed to be an expert linux administator. He took the first result of a google search without checking what it meant to do and put it in console as root, destroying that production system.

So now we have that kind of things as a service. We need natural intelligence first to use the artificial one.

I wish there was a modern email listserv for people to subscribe / unsubscribe and maybe manage posting permissions for. Using chat servers or forums is an extra barrier for people to overcome and prevents collaboration from a broader set of people. Mailgun kind of has a list service that works. But not an easy way for end users to self manage.

Curious if anyone could recommend something that could be selfhosted or worth paying for?

> later I get bloated

Anecdotally, this may be because you've decreased your intake and retention of B vitamins, which are water-soluble and essential in metabolizing carbs. Since you retain less water on keto, you have less B vitamins available to digest carbs (and you don't need them, because you're not eating carbs). A lot of people who eat keto feel bloated whenever they eat carbs, to the point that even if they want to quit keto they struggle to do it because carbs make them feel awful. I ate keto for about a year and stopped a couple months ago and experienced this.

So to anyone eating keto who may want to stop but feels awful when eating carbs, supplement your B-vitamins for a month or so, particularly B1/thiamine.

Unfortunately lilypond doesn't support musicxml at all, which is a bummer. I do the opposite route. MuseScore -> musicxml -> my script -> lilypond/musicxml -> PDF/MuseScore.

I need this because, sometimes I want auto-generated annotations to my score. Say I write a phrase in MuseScore, I'm interested in the script adding a text with chord names, or pitch Set Class etc. MuseScore can do this with plugins, but I personally find MuseScore plugin system very buggy and hard to program. Python is much much much better and musicxml is pretty easy to deal with.

> Windows 95 is still very much alive.

Can you share any examples/use-cases? I'm not doubting you, I'm just very, very curious.

In 2011 a customer I worked with was using Windows 95 still in a test bed for their legacy equipment. The test software they had was written for it, and it still worked, so no need to go through the massive pain of updating. But even that was 12 years ago and we expected it to fall apart any day...
For me while State Income tax was an interesting part of the decision, ultimately it was easily consumed by the massive difference in house prices (and as such rent) between different locations. Which is probably part of the retiree question as well, but I wouldn’t say most of the places that ended up on my list with a combination of “place I’d want to live” and “reasonable rent prices” were retiree destinations.
It is also worse in that it creates a framework for special interest groups to act with special status for "detecting" and removing content without due process.

Any group with an ideological bent, or an agenda can set themselves up as agents for monitoring "dangerous" content. They may even do that job for the stuff we want actually policed, but they'll also do things like remove all negative mentions of Xi Jinping, or any rumblings against the new Soma product...

A company does it on their own service. You go to another. A government sanctioned agent can do it to all services.

I really hate that I can't even delete it on my phone. Had to do some `adb` magic to finally get it disabled. There is a really horrible policy for Android on some phones which doesn't allow you to uninstall apps (and some phones like Oppo don't even let you disable it too).

Don't know if it's the same on iPhone (having never owned one) but I reckon they are no better as I have to install 'Notunes' on my laptop just to disable Apple music popping up when I connect bluetooth (and now way to uninstall Apple apps either).

What a horrible ecosystem this is with these companies nowadays.

Apple should make an M3 MacBook SE and sell it for $850
Apple should release a Macbook SE using the M1 Air body but with an M3 chip. Sell it for $799 - $850 permanently.

- MacBook SE using old M1 body: $850

- 13" MacBook Air: $1200

- 15" MacBook Air: $1400

- 14" Macbook Pro: $2000

- 16" Macbook Pro: $2500

It'd be a very strong lineup from top to bottom.

A MacBook SE with an M3 at $850 would devour cheap Windows laptop competition. Today, the average selling price of a Windows laptop is around $700. At $850, a MacBook SE would provide insane value and would entice people to switch to Macs en mass. There are more iPhone + Windows laptop users than iPhone + Mac users today because the base price of a Mac has been so high historically.

Steve Jobs used to say that Apple didn't know how to make a cheap laptop that is also good. Apple knows now. It's with Apple Silicon.

Clearly, Apple's margin for the old Macbook Air is high enough that it can afford to sell it for $799. It's on sale for $799 on Amazon right now.

The Algorithm owes no loyalty to your efforts. I think many of us have watched well-curated social feeds revert to noise when an algorithm got tweaked or irrecoverably fixated on some irrelevant interaction we once made. These things are not built to let you have the control you’ve found. It’s an happy accident when that happens.

Enjoy your victory while it lasts, I guess.

Weirdly tho the legacy business is often a lot higher than the growth business at any point in time. It is often the case that orgs won’t break down the costs this way, but if growth has a lot of potential in the future, legacy is paying off previous growth bets now. So don’t piss off half your profits because you are more focused on what to you is the bright shiny new thing that you have high hopes for.

Nonetheless, having read the fine article, I will stop using he x construction, which I find myself typing from time to time just out of habit.
I can’t stand JSX either - it’s using JavaScript to render HTML templates, but it’s not valid JavaScript or HTML. I much prefer libraries like Lit that use tagged template literals for rendering component views - you write real code in the actual language the browser understands, no extra transpile step needed.
To prepare for retirement, you have two options:

1. Have children and treat them well.
2. Save and invest, so capital is available for the few children of the next generation to work with.

As long as millennials are doing option 2. there isn't a problem. If they rely on the pension system, then that would be a problem.
Falling birth rates have little to do with child mortality and everything to do with child labor becoming less valuable due to legality as well as industrialization. Children became liabilities instead of assets to parents, parents had less kids. And the current problem is actually not enough people are going to be around to maintain the current economy of scale both in terms of production and consumption. The demographic cliff looming in Italy and China for instance will probably alleviate some of these environmental issues we are discussing, but at the cost of political instability.
We have no idea who you objectively are and don't care.
My assumption was that ISP couldn't get big cost saving by restricting some sites. I think this assumption is valid as by definition the websites that consumes most of the data are popular sites, and I don't think ISP would touch that due to reputational harm. And banning few of the tail end of the sites wouldn't allow ISPs to reduce the cost by any margin.
I think the one that we had was Analog, that sounds familiar.

Depends on the game and the store. You may get better prices with local stores, or local classifieds. Unfortunately, high demand, low production games are insanely expensive, swamped with pirated reproductions, or both. But if you do what you must for those games, I think there's fair prices to be had on the others. My local stores have a reasonable selection of japanese games, or at least a selection, but I imagine that varies a lot, I am on the west coast.

In your scenario you would have no logs etc until the DD incident resolved.

Opting out would just mean all your missing data alerts fire every time Datadog has an incident and you would then check, see that everything is missing, and then identify the cause as the Datadog incident.

Are we talking about a real example here? I'm very sympathetic to backwards compatibility, to the point I still write sh compatible scripts unless I have a real need for `[[ ~= ]]`, but of the thousands of scripts I've written in the last 10 years, none of them would have any use outside of a modern distro. Adding the x-hack to every comparison seems utterly insane to me, exactly as GP said.

But like I said, I'm sympathetic, so I'd love to hear a case for why I should do it anyway

I am currently denied mail service by my local post master because when my mother was in this house (and I was in prison) and dying of cancer she could not get to the mailboxes (at the end of the street and requiring crossing the street using curbs with no handicap ramps) in a timely enough manner. She had the nerve to appeal her mail service being turned off, and so now the post master has a personal grudge with my family. So yes, having government control of essential services is scary to me.
