Sometimes people you talk to have powers to change the outcome in your favour, sometimes all you need to do is ask.

I had an experience like that last year. I was cancelling my broadband in UK with Virgin, and got a £280 disconnection fee. The person who informed me said I will have to pay it in my final bill. Then over a month later I got a call from someone who's task was to see if I need a new connection where I was going. I said no, I was leaving the country. He asked if there was anything else he could do for me. I said, "you could cancel that huge penalty fee I got.." And he was just like "Sure, no problem, done."

I remember reading an account of the Space Shuttle Columbia accident investigation, where it was stated the investigation was hampered by the lack of serial numbers on some components, such as the astronauts' chairs. This made it hard to reconstruct the breakup sequence from the geographical distribution of the debris.

> But, the _planning_ of new construction/reconstruction were similar during that period in both the USA & Europ

That's where you go wrong. There isnt 'urban planning' in Europe because there isnt any space to plan anything. What could be called 'urban planning' in Europe is laying out subway tracks, maybe demolishing a run-down shanty neighborhood to build apartments. Thats it. Naturally there is no way to plan anything around cars. The most you can do is to eat up a little sidewalk in the biggest avenues in the biggest cities to make one more lane for the main street. And that's what was done for ~80 years.

> I think the citations quoted above from multiple sources generously support this

They dont. You moved on to 'urban planning was like that' argument from 'built like that'.

> European urban planning was also, at one time somewhat recently, largely car centric

Repeating it wont make it so. It wasnt, and still isnt. Aside from some part of Germany that rebuilt its destroyed cities and built autobahns, entire Europe was about tiny cars and tiny streets, leave aside any phenomenon like suburbs.

You cannot extrapolate from 'Le Corbusier and his friends liked cars and wanted to demolish cities' to 'city planning was like that'. If city planning was really like that (if it actually existed that is), then Le Corbusier and his friends would get their way and entire cities would have been rebuilt.
In the projects I work on, things go down all the time, for various reasons (hardware issues, networking problems, cascading programming errors). It's the various additional measures we have put in place which prevent us from having frequent outages... Before the current system was adopted, poor stability of our platform was one of the main complaints.

I agree that for many projects it may be an overkill.
This is why I always prepay for my gym membership up-front and do not enter into any agreement. There are a few places that do this. Last one I went to, I prepaid for 90 days. I confirmed they weren't even storing my payment information because I had to provide it again to renew the next quarter.

The best part of this is that when you decide you are done, you simply do nothing and its all over. Sure, you will get some marketing text spam for a few weeks but that's about it.
You are asserting that it takes a long time to get a gun out.

I remember a few years back there was some controversy about how police are trained to shoot first and one of the things that bubbled up then was a video (I think produced by someone teaching the police) of a seated driver drawing a gun and having it pointed out the window in a fraction of a second. The gun was in a holster down by the seat belt buckle. And the next instant it was pointing out the driver's window.

What could we unite and do against a solar flare? We get some advanced warning but not that much. The sun had a massive solar flare just in this past week that we got lucky was on the opposite side of our orbit whose shockwave still hit the Earth, and that can reach us in about 30 minutes according to the following article. That's not a lot of time to unite and take action.

"Even though the CME erupted from the opposite side of the Sun, its impacts were felt at Earth. As CMEs blast through space, they create a shockwave that can accelerate particles along the CME’s path to incredible speeds, much the way surfers are pushed along by an incoming ocean wave. Known as solar energetic particles, or SEPs, these speedy particles can make the 93-million-mile journey from the Sun to Earth in around 30 minutes."[1]

Very cool project, I love it.

A couple of questions:

- Do you have any plans to make it work with more languages? As it is I would have to find a way to get my non-JS code to talk with JS or am I misunderstanding something?

- How restrictive the non-TC limitation is? In other words, is it powerful enough that the user can write some very basic "code"? I have a few use-cases in mind where we need to parse product IDs from different sources and do some processing on them that's different for each source. Would it be flexible enough for something like this?

What are the Democrats doing to help me pay my bills? Higher taxes and runaway inflation fueled by overspending and excessive money printing is the opposite of helpful. It’s not just the Democrats by the way, it’s both parties over spending just on different priorities.

The stimulus and pay increases I’ve seen since the pandemic have been entirely erased by inflation and taxes.

If you think either party is helping the little guy you’re not paying attention.

Unless you’re heavily impacted by each party’s wedge issues, there’s little practical difference between team red vs. team blue for your average working class American.

What we need is a viable third party that advocates for our interests instead of those of the elites.
If there wasn't a wrapper I'd pack it in a little baggie to not have to deal with broccoli bits at the bottom of my backpack. Also washing won't get rid of everything and that way a sick cashier has a lower chance of smearing something onto the produce (especially relevant if I'm not going to cook it). But why do those wrappers and baggies and whatnot need to be non-biodegradable? This stuff needs to survive for a week or two at most, they should make it rot away afterwards.

I think it's a minority opinion but for me Spring fills a particular gap.

If I was writing a data analysis system in Python I would write a few modules, probably with some functions and classes, that do the work and are reusable. I'd also write a top level Python script that would configure, connect and then execute the task. In fact I'd write a whole bunch of those scripts for variation.

In Java I could write a class to do the same but then I'd have to compile it. With Spring I can make an XML file that describes the parts and puts them together, and have just one class that asks Spring to make an object and run a method on it. That XML file replaces the top level script and I can do all this without having to write any code to create a configuration system.

I used to work on application servers that used Spring for configuration a lot but I found the people (various) I work(ed) for switched to Guice around 2015 or so and since then that is what I use at work.

Spring and Guice banished the Factoryⁿ, Factoryⁿ⁺ⁱ, Factoryⁿ⁺² problem by introducing a MetaFactory that lives outside the system, understands it globally, and does all the construction for you. Go could probably use something like that but you need to think about how the construction/destruction problem manifests in Go and how to do it in a way that feels right and works right for Go.

I find this situation a bit funny. I agree with you on almost everything you said.

I think the only part we maybe disagree is on the importance of style as a form of expression. I think style is a big part of it (or mixture of styles). To me, there was a style-space where each technique is a dimension (kinda like a colourspace), you can position yourself anywhere within that space. And I think that the choice of that position matters to artists a lot. It doesn't matter _for_ the artist, but it matters _to_ the artist. They could've spent a long time searching the style space to find their own individual style, and it's a part of their art. Maybe thinking about styles mathematically here is a mistake here?

To me it feels unfair their efforts to build this style is being treated dismissively by some. I don't think you yourself treat it dismissively, since you seem to appreciate art too. But I don't think every employer in need of art will see it like that.

Also, I as I read your reply and thought about the topic a bit and you partially changed my mind:

I believe established artists won't be impacted by this, but I fear that certain entry-level positions in some industries will be jeopardised by AI. I'm not even sure why I think this. Maybe it's no more than a hunch based on what I've seen happening to people in entry positions already being treated like throwaways in film and game industry.

An alternative and more optimistic way to look at it would be that entry-level positions will evolve to be more quality/fulfilling work. I hope that's what happens, then.

I also think it's hard to sufficiently develop in any field if you don't do some of the "grunt work" too. I guess I'm not a trained nor is art my career (just a self-taught hobby). So, maybe the exploration and development of styles isn't as big of a deal as I make it out to be for day-to-day artists. Maybe they do the grunt work in art school?

You mentioned mediocre art and stock images. I know what you mean, but I also think that's just a phase lot of people go through. Nobody is born a great artist (or anything else), they become it. People need to start somewhere.

I think it's all very complicated... This is somewhat tangentially related (which I think was the real thing that sent me down this spiral, more than anything else): I wish the artists' wishes about their works were treated with more respect by the people training the models, since I think it's difficult to expect every user of the tool to do the same. Or allow them to opt in and be compensated for their works.

Anyway, thank you for indulging me in this long thread! :)

I apologize, that's a fair question given that I named it after Little Snitch. One reason I used the prefix pico is because it's extremely little, supporting only a subset of Little Snitch's features.

On Linux there's already a number of great apps for blocking legitimate apps' connections, however they all still support only a subset of Little Snitch's features, and there wasn't one that offered the subset I provided with picosnitch. Which of those features you consider most important is subjective and dependent on your use case. I consider picosnitch a valid alternative and the core feature to be snitching on programs, the same goes for the new free tier of Little Snitch Mini.

Also like I said above, it is difficult to hash executables and block them without introducing delays the first time anything connects to the internet. If you're only concerned about blocking legitimate apps' connections you don't need them to be hashed since you can trust them not to do anything too nefarious. Personally this was more useful to me, since if I see an unexpected new program or hash during updates, or a new hash outside of updating my containers, I can intervene or have another script stop my containers and alert me. I also get some value from this on my desktop since I do all my development inside containers, and use another drive with Windows solely for gaming.

I haven’t responded because int_19h seems to have perfectly understood what I was trying to say and made similar arguments to what I would have.

Just wanted to note that I didn’t propose a particular solution—you seem to have responded as if I’ve just said “we should have no automation,” which is not what I was proposing at all—it was just an observation about where things have ended up.

We could imagine lots of ways to not throw people to the wolves when their jobs were automated away, the idea of just continuing to pay them is sort of a lower bound (in the sense that obviously the economy could bear it, because it had just been bearing it, right before the automation was implemented).

The government of Myanmar is free to regulate Facebook however they like within their own sovereign territory. But given the level of corruption, oppression, and incompetence there I doubt the results would be any better than usage policies written by random corporate executives (and haphazardly enforced by outsourced moderators). The only real solution to improving the situation in Myanmar is for the people to rise up and change their own government; this may take a long time and a lot of deaths but there is no alternative.
For this particular case, the use of PDFs seems irrelevant. Photos were just taken of each polling unit’s results.

Eh, this is rather reductive to the point that the statement is meaningless.

If you release a product in the wild with no safeties at all and then advertize "This product has no safeties at all", you'll likely find yourself in civil court on the losing side of the case.

Now, if you put "some safeties" in the product, the person suing you is going to have a much more difficult and expensive time arguing that in front of the jury.

I still support libraries. I check out books from them periodically (and I do not support book publishers in what they're doing in the linked article).

I just also like the additional roles they've taken on and would like to spread awareness so more people check out their local libraries (and possibly also check out books while they do so).

A few other things I've done at my local library include foreign language conversation sessions, tutoring an ESL student (that was only a couple of times, pandemic started soon after), attending various lectures, early voting, renewing my driver's registration and sticker, and with my local writing group we've done many write-ins and also periodically had readings of Shakespeare plays using one of their meeting rooms (with some light acting and dueling with foam swords).

Also when my previous company closed their office space (before the pandemic), we used to sometimes meet at a meeting room at a library to conduct work meetings. We stopped doing that when the pandemic started.
