The article goes on and on for many paragraphs about the claim that Balto was inherently healthier on the basis of genetic diversity, with no actual assessment of whether today's dogs are healthy, before dropping this sentence:

Good. If you're not familiar with what sudo does, then you shouldn't be using it in the first place.
Maybe I am too quick to judge but this strikes me as a completely uncalled for US-centric know it all take.
You have to measure by time-to-market / team size. How much it costs to maintain the system, how long it takes to ship features, fix bugs, reach milestones, etc; which is something you can't say publicly, and even if the company did, it would be heavily doctored to make a good impression on stakeholders.

That's why I think the argument is a weak appeal to authority. Throw enough money at a problem, and you can scale anything involving computers. Notice how expensive is Heroku.

But you can't add more team members to a project and expect things to go faster, which is where the real problem with Rails lies.
I sort of did this test last night. I assume that VOCs include ethanol, so I mixed up some drinks near the monitor. VOCs went from ~60ppb to a peak of 579ppb. CO2 remained constant at about 640ppm.

I am less surprised than other people that making an open fire indoors increases CO2 levels. Where do the combustion byproducts go if not into the air.

This is some outrage bait by so-called journalists using weasel words. Unless this is in a tiny village, the risk of accidental incest is FUD.
Genetic sexual attraction is pseudoscience, and assortative mating has very little to do with related persons. It was a practical problem of feudal empires and small villages globally before the automobile and the airplane, but today, it's not a meaningful concern. So-called consanguinity as absolute fractions base on formal relationships rather than genes is an illusion because it is unique to all pairs of individuals due to the recursive nature of heritable genetics.
Why not ban, or at least seriously curtail the emissions of the organization responsible for the most toxic pollution & whose mission is literally to kill people, the military, instead? How about the multitude of other government agencies responsible for pollution?
Yeah only then. Nowadays the city has basically no anti sismic construction so Lisbon is just a city waiting to be destroyed by a similar earthquake.

> When the power is out, am I expected to start a fire in my yard to cook food?

I tried this and a neighbor called CalFire on me since its illegal when its not a "burn day".

It seems the solutions are to have:

- a 5 gallon propane tank in the garage

- a BBQ in the back yard

- your own batteries

- a generator (also useful for refrigeration)

I have about 20 gallons of gas in my garage that is good for my generator. I use the gas for my motorcycle so they get refreshed regularly.

I think the first one is a firefighter train. There is one (the same?) that lives near me.
There are many ways that outrage can be fake, and a variety of them apply to this situation. For one thing the conservative talking points were all about a sense that the feds were coming for your freedom, and not in any way about the merits or otherwise of being able to burn gas in the place you live. For another, this was being talked about as something that would impose a heavy burden on normal people, which is simply not supported by the facts, both because none of the plans that have been put forward involve forcing you to buy a new stove, and because most normal people already have electric stoves.

By the way, I don't know if you actually read or listened to that segment, but it makes clear that there is a real possibility that this could be regulated. Calling it "fake outrage" is not to say "they're making up the possibility that it could be regulated", but "they're blowing this (real) possibility out of proportion, ignoring the reasons it might be a good idea, and instead making up vague and manipulative reasons to object to it".

This just reinforces my bias that OOP is what is really harmful. Really, what good reason is there to have data and behavior bound to the same object? I’ve never seen a good argument for that. It’s just taken as a given. It seems nice and convenient, but that convenience seems to always lead to unexpected complexity like this.

A while ago I was looking for a color manipulation library, and I saw her Color.js, and loved all the features. Then I saw the bullet point, “Readable, object-oriented API”. Nope. I’m not touching that. I chose culori instead. It’s just a collection of functions that transform standardized color data objects. It’s like lodash for colors. It’s been great to work with.
I don't have perfect pitch but if there's no sound around I can accurately recall the pitch of my alarm (the standard Android one) within a half tone, so I think that strategy makes sense
It's the equivalent of the basic ticket in each city so guests, children, bike, dog, etc. will all vary based on whatever that offering is. Regardless it guarantees the purchaser transit. It's still massively simpler than actually buying a ticket in each city.

Maybe this is a bit of a tangent but... shouldn't the world as a whole not be thinking about how to consume less in stead of obsessing with how to do the clean energy transition, without changing our habits a bit?

If you think about it, there is still plenty of room for optimizing our energy consumption.

The trend seems to be, replace the gasoline car not with a more fuel efficient one but rather with a car weighing almost double because it has to drag along a huge battery. Then replace all copper wires with double the section (copper mining, plastic production, tearing open perfect roads, ...)

Some ideas, not very far fetched I would say, combine a few of these will get us a long way:

Car pooling.

Electric bicycles.

Insulate your house better?

Taking turns with neighbours to do grocery shopping or bringing kids to school.

Try to repair stuff in stead of bying new.

Not all phones allow you to root, even if you paid outright for the device. Termux is different from a custom ROM, Termux gives you things like native nodejs, python, ffmpeg, git, and nmap. It's independent from the underlying OS. All phone come with a bootloader lock and only some companies allow you to unlock it. You need to do a bootloader and oem unlock in order to have the ability to root. Certain devices have sensors/parts that aren't supported via AOSP, back in the day I remember reading "not working: wifi" in the feature list for custom roms. I think wifi is usually okay now, but camera and cellular modem are still not guaranteed.
I also use MiXplorer, and wouldn't be able to read my camera's SD cards on my phone without it because Android doesn't support exfat for some reason. Root is required for it to use its own filesystem drivers of course.

Companies won't want to do this beyond releasing a token video or two because interviewees would use them to prepare narrowly to the exam, memorizing the questions, and fail on the job.

There are interview training companies like interviewing.io that pair you up with employees from the desired companies for mock interviews. This is pretty close to what you propose to do.

Finally I think this is a bad business opportunity because people will only use your product once every few years.
Seems obvious to me that ease of installation seems also is a factor where popularity can have an impact. If one is more popular that increases the likely hood that users will already be familiar with installation methods (ignoring actual difficulty), reaching more people in the process.

Exactly. The point of a programming language is to translate human intention into machine instructions.

Whatever optimizes for the accuracy of the instruction output is the best. Sometimes it means language features. But it can also mean its popularity so you can get many more human eyes on the same bits of code.

> What’s your source saying more people write Rust than Ada?

I think this "popularity" reasoning is flawed. It completely misses the context of the tool. Just ask yourself -- are there many UNIX CLI tools written in Ada/SPARK? I'm sure there are some, but not aware of any I use regularly.

Meanwhile, there is a Cambrian explosion of Rust CLI tools taking place.

"Popularity" is really a surrogate for "popular, accessible, infrastructure for an OSS CLI tool for UNIX", a place where Ada AFAIK has not been a first choice. If we were building firmware for a missile guidance computer, maybe the reasoning would be different?

But it's still not a sufficient reason, so I'll add another: People really like using Rust to make these types of tools. It's amazing to me that people are so willing to discount as non-technical, and therefore unworthy of discussion, lots of people really like using Rust.

This is a situation where national size actually does matter.

Luxembourg is effectively only offering local/metro level free transit, since the country is tiny. Germany, on the other hand, has regional trains criss-crossing the country that are also free. Yes, the faster IC trains aren't included, but slower trains that go quite far are included.

So, while Germany is indeed charging rather than making them free, they're also offering more than Luxembourg is.
This exists, take a look at https://interviewing.io/ replays.
588 EUR per year is not peanuts especially for 17% of Germans who are poor.

I'm not sure that the risk of birth defects in the children of half-siblings is actually that high. You have to compare it to the risk when e.g. the couple is older, or one of them has a genetic disorder, one of them is obsese... There are lots of things than can increase the risk of birth defects.

People often wildly overestimate the actual risks of 'inbreeding' because their real objection is either an ethical one or a simple gross out reaction. That is, they're not making an informed estimate of the actual risks and then concluding that these are unacceptably high; they're just searching for a more objective justification for their gut reaction.

Unfortunately, the objective justification that most people reach for (the risk of birth defects) is a very steep slippery slope to eugenics. Once you admit the principle that a higher than average risk of birth defects is sufficient reason for a couple to be legally prohibited from having children, then you are basically there.
Well, to be fair, I have been using RSS since the '90s, and it wasn't an overnight thing, and it's required a lot of trial-and-error, especially since Google Reader and Yahoo Pipes died.

As organized as some aspects of my workflow are, there's areas of my personal life that are quite shambolic.

Some other things that changed my working life:

* Putting a numbered label on all of my several hundred cables that relates to a spreadsheet with connectors, length, colour, where I bought it from (with a URL for fast replacement), warranty period, any notes (condition, suggesting not to buy another or that it needs re-terminating).

* A 'flexible' area of my home office where it isn't my desk, but a usually empty space where I can setup a secondary workspace for myself or others with smaller items. It's always torn down after use so that it can be anything it needs to be on a given day. Even having the ability to get a change of scenery when working from home feels much better mentally than staring at a wall or one of my monitors most of the time.

* Keeping a digital zettelkasten and also treating it as a knowledgebase. I'm very good at having ideas, but appalling at retaining them. Everything reasonably compelling gets written down, that includes solutions to problems that require some degree of complexity, or alternative solutions that may work better for the next time the problem emerges for me or someone else. These little cards are nice to provide others with an actionable and documented solution.

* The "Johnny Decimal" system has been great for digital file management.

As a disclaimer, I was diagnosed with ADHD in the '90s, and if I wasn't somewhat anal over my workflow then very little would happen, if anything.

The human element:

* My closet organization is borderline nil. There's a system emerging if I can stick to it, but we don't talk about the 'laundry chair' in the company of others (heh, hello).

* Organizing food and eating things before the best-before can be challenging at times. I can do a lot better with this. I saw a few compelling FOSS options for this, but I'd have to check my zettelkasten to figure out the names.

* I struggle with responding to IMs. I wish I could 'mark for follow-up' or simply 'mark as unread' on them. I love email from an organizational perspective, but most folks don't like email (no surprise there).
This is a standard critique of capitalism, mercantilism, feudalism, state communism, and whatever your -ism of choice is. It's been done the world over for millennia. Every time someone in power or privilege has said "we must all sacrifice for the greater good" - the sacrifice is disproportionate, and those disproportionately affected have grumbled about it. Every time someone has said "we must preserve this particular thing", the preservation has been at the disproportionate expense of others, and those so affected have grumbled about it.

I've seen a lot of positivity on the output of ChatGPT for coding tasks in my workplace. And it does seem to have some use in that area. But there is just no way in hell it's replacing a human in its current state.

If you ask it for boilerplate or for something that's a basic combination of things its seen before, it can give you something decent, possibly even useable as-is. But as soon as you step into more novel territory, forget it.

There was one case where I wanted it to add an async method to an interface as a way of seeing if it "understood" the limitations of covariant type parameters in C# with regards to Task<T>. It did not. I replied explaining the issue and it actually did come back with a solution, but it wasn't a good solution. I told it very specifically that I wanted it to instead create a second interface for holding the async method. It did that but made the original mistake despite my message about covariance still being within the context fed back in for generating this response. I corrected it again, but the output from that ended up being so stupid I stopped trying.

And at no point was it actually doing something that's very important when given tasks that are not precisely specified: ask me questions back. This seems equally likely to be a problem for one of these language models replacing a doctor. It doesn't request more context to better answer questions so the only way to know it needs more is if you already know enough to be able to recognize that the output doesn't make sense. It basically ends up working like a search engine that can't actually give you sources.
There has been research into common factors on the biomedical front. For example, the shank3 gene has been implicated in both ASD and Schizophrenia.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28371232/

I'm not qualified to say whether or not these implicated commonalities affect this p-factor. It seems likely to me that disorders that affect identity, language, affect, etc. would have common features that could be passed down genetically.
That works if you have natural gas service. My estimate assumes solar panels, batteries and a generator that tops the battery off in emergencies.

This year, most people with just batteries lost power due to no sun, and people with just generators lost power due to no propane delivery service/supply.

There are a lot of comments in this thread that seem to confuse "really good relative pitch" with "perfect pitch".

After the first note is known, the two are mostly indistinguishable. A person with really good relative pitch can, once they're told what the first note is, immediately identify everything that comes after it, just like someone with perfect pitch would. The difference is that someone with perfect pitch don't even need to be told what that first note is.

(This means someone with perfect pitch can walk along a road and tell you the note played by a tyre squeal in the distance, whereas someone with merely really good relative pitch would need to also hear a single reference note within a few seconds or minutes (pitch memory varies between individuals) to do the same.)
I think this has more to do with the natural desire to complain about things - perfect is the enemy of good and all that. There are definitely a lot of issues, ranging from, as you say, the heterogeneity of German public transport to the flat-rate-but-still-somehow-discounted-for-employees pricing structure. But I suspect a lot of this will get worked out over time.

But the foundation does seem to be pretty clear and universal - if you have this ticket for 49€ a month, you will be allowed on all RE/RB/S trains, plus buses and trams. This alone is a fantastic deal for a lot of people. On top of that, some states will have some extra offers or additional forms of public transport with extra rules, but if you need to worry about that, then you needed to worry about that before the ticket anyway.
I'm sure the psychological factor is huge. That said, I did come across a few relevant stats [1]:

>>> 2,744 officers were assaulted with firearms; 6.1% of these officers were injured.
1,180 officers were assaulted with knives or other cutting instruments; 9.7% of these officers were injured.
The remaining 11,760 officers were assaulted with other types of dangerous weapons; 16.8% of these officers were injured.

That same year (2021) US police killed 1048 people - less then half the number of cops that were attacked with guns, and less than 1/10th of the number attacked with other dangerous weapons.

I wonder how this compares with European countries, i.e. the ratio of people killed by police to how often they police are attacked in a serious way.
