I think you flipped a right/left handed towards the end, but I follow what you're trying to say. The thing is most don't believe in a right where everyone has to listen to anything said with equal opportunity. It definitely is a tyranny of the majority, but that doesn't mean a tyranny of the minority, where anything said should get equal exposure regardless of how unpopular it is, is inherently more correct, or necessarily better.

That's why "The hard part is convincing others what you want to say is what they want to see here." It's not that they need to read everything, it's that they need to see those things they typically want to ignore as something worth them spending time on. No amount of moderation will make people spend time reading things they aren't interested in reading. Part of this is you end up with communities with different focus, and that's usually the way these kinds of differences co-exist in the same world at scale. Once the communities get large enough, they are in some way forced to find neutral ways to interact. Typically this happens more in the real world than on the internet.

The only time this really breaks is when the divider isn't related to content, rather some arbitrary attribute unrelated to it. E.g. if a conversation about the best quality paints ignores someone because of their handedness. The content of what they were saying had nothing to do with the exclusion so people want to protect against those kind of exclusions. The same feeling does not extend to those that want to bring a content reason for exclusion into the conversation, e.g. someone that constantly talks about how paint is a conspiracy by $BigCorp and can't talk about paint without always bringing it up. In that case the person needs to find people interested in talking about $BigCorp paint conspiracies, or a better way to engage others, not a moderator to force people to listen to them. If they do get the latter, people will just stop showing up... not suddenly start listening.
Security is not black and white. Better to be able to fix some security issues of an unmaintained app than none.

This is a bit of a tangent, but I don’t think it is sustainable in the long run to require the ever-growing volume of software in use to all be actively maintained. We should find a model of software development where we can achieve sufficient security without having to maintain and rebuild the world all the time.
If aesthetics are more important than cost, I have a blueair 211+ that does a great job and is quite silent. I would buy it again if a DIY filter was out of the question, tho my next filter will probably be a DIY job with a bit of time spent to make it look nice.

We have started this project where we explore novel interface ideas by taking current interface patterns and experimenting with them to understand what they will be like if we strike a different trade-off with the design choices. Would love to have your feedback and thoughts if you get a chance to check it out.

Thanks!
Oh don't worry, as in any closed ecosystem the bullshit will come.

Well this isn't like the plot of TWO movies made about having body parts repossessed or anything.
What the author mentions but doesn’t seem to allocate a lot of significance to is that in Go, modules are a level of organization higher up the hierarchy from packages. Rust has no such a higher level organizing unit. It’s only unit for both sharing dependencies and compiling files is a crate. So crates have to take on additional duties, such as specifying build instructions and dependencies.

Been years since I’ve done much Rust. Does this mean bumping dependency versions thus becomes a larger chore in a project?
No one said you're doing it for Reddit. Most mods are doing it to support their community.

The point is Reddit is pocketing profits from you donating your free labour to the benefit of their private platform.

Dress it up however you like, that core fact remains true.
You continue to obstinately be overly semantic instead accepting that not everything is perfectly literal.

> Now, the Chinese communists and the Russian Oligarchs both still know our instruments suck

There is no strategic or actionable value in a broad judgement of "sucks" or "doesn't suck". The point of keeping details secret is to prevent someone from building mechanisms to specifically counter it. Information disparity in war is an advantage because it can cause an enemy to misjudge their allocation of resources. (either they underestimate and are out-powered, or they overestimate and waste resources)

It's like poker. You might choose to selectively give off some information with your expressions, but you'd easily lose if you showed your cards.

> they decided that they wanted to inject aliens into their strategy.

The US military has not entertained the idea of aliens.

So, why not a steno keyboard instead?

While DVORAK may only be a 5% improvement over QWERTY, a steno keyboard is vastly superior in typing speed and ergonomics, as it's used by courtroom stenographers keeping up with recording speech. (And if you learn on a proper steno keyboard, your muscle memory won't get all confused because the keys are entirely different.)
That contradicts the many accounts of "look at a text box bar, start talking it types"
Probably a lot of people the same way many don't get what so many other climate change initiatives are about
The DIY box fans are a good emergency solution but with climate change these events will become much more frequent and more permanent solutions to make your house safer should be looked at.
I'm not sure how any of that goes against the comment that you're answering to?

I'd go even further and say it reinforces it: despite being the most visible coordinated Reddit event in the past 10 years, nothing will come out of it and everything will be back to normal after 2 days.
Not only more attractive people (both men and women) but taller, I believe thinner, are also automatically get a leg up. Beyond just physical appearance, I'm sure (as Elizabeth Holmes may have leveraged) voice tone, gaze, and other non-genetic or alterable genetic traits also play a factor.

But we all have to play the hand we are dealt.

Also, lets not forget that those VCs who are doing the investing are also likely in the more attractive side of the equation.

For people who did not win the genetic lottery, it probably feels like the game is fixed against them in every direction.

I believe this may have been a benefit in virtual settings where height, and many other physical attributes are not as easily judged.

> Many prewar buildings in NYC were constructed with 'overpowered' radiators by the windows with the idea that people would in winter have the windows slightly ajar to bring in clean air.

Wow, thank you! I've always wondered why the heat seemed so unnecessarily overwhelming in radiator buildings I grew up in. We'd keep the windows open because there was no way to control the heat and I'd always thought it was such a waste of energy. Not sure how clean the outside air was at the time, but I did really miss the mix of cold and warm air in the winter when I moved to a more modern building.
That's impressive... What are you using for purifiers?

>Is the TI machine in the parent article also a 68000?

No, it's a fully custom CPU architecture and implementation, though they could use a 68020 as the "LX" co-processor. Also their primary competitor Symbolics used two 68000s in addition to their custom CPU: one as an I/O and boot controller, another as the heart of their console i.e. a graphical terminal.
ah, same thing I thought!

It might. It might not. Conventional ethics says murdering tens of thousands that did nothing knowingly wrong is a no-no.

It's easy to look at that in hindsight and go "well if we just nuked this and that the world would be a better place". Well, not for people just minding their business doing nothing wrong and unethical that just happened to be born in "wrong" country! And you couldn't know at the time whether it was right or not, just in hindsight.
> I'm not used to programming where one of the possible error states is that the computer just straight up decides it doesn't want to do the thing I asked it to do!

Without the anthropomorphism, an unexpected error condition from an external system is not that unusual. That LLMs have both loosely specified and—barring things like the ability to set 0 “temperature”—nondeterministic behavior makes that more common than most systems you’ll interact with, sure.
This is everyone's problem if we ever hope to retire
Yeah but there are better box fan filters out there. You can do exactly what OP did with his cube and throw a box fan on top of it instead of the duct fan, and with the higher airflow from the box fan combined with the exact same filter setup you'd likely see better results.

Most of the box fan filters I've seen these days look like this cuboid fan- as in, they have four filters, a base, and a fan. Many also include some cardboard curved corners to improve airflow and reduce noise. I kind of assumed that's what we were comparing until I saw the image.

Like these from another thread: https://cleanaircrew.org/box-fan-filters/

Typhoid Mary was locked up for life a century ago. When someone is chronically ill with a dangerous, infectious disease, their mental illness isn't the reason to lock them up, their infectiousness is.

Mary Mallon doesn't seem to have been mentally ill, just in denial of the impact of her actions, and so poor that she couldn't afford not to cook.

It seems to be legally sound and hasn't caused a slippery slope since that very famous case.
I think you totally missed what the issue is here. In that scenario, Apple could still patch a system lib and it can break your application.

It's not a question of the library updates being untrustworthy and code signing by the vendors fixes it. It's the library updates themselves breaking shit, not intentionally.

Static linking prevents that, at the cost of disk space and memory and missing out on updates that might not (usually won't) break your app.

Otoh, if you told me apple is more careful about breaking ABIs with updates to shared libraries, that is believable.
Any IP ownership issues with this? I.e. your employer claims you did it on their time?
The lawsuit worthy aspect is that labels for buttons are super important for understanding what a button does. A lack of labels (either through not putting text inside the <button> element or using a technique like aria-label) can quickly make an interface unusable for a blind person - the visual equivalent would be completely blank, identical buttons. That barrier is what someone could sue over.

I was at least 20 before I realized the 87, 95, etc weren't release years (I think at least in part because I only became aware of them when NZ banned leaded gas in 96, and at the same time "unleaded 95" became something being advertised as the advertisers started advertising fuel grades like super)

I hate that smoke season is a real part of life now. We are in a not-so-slow-motion climate collapse.
Again, the thing that is going to cause more pain is not charging anything.

My point is that this whole protest is framed as “We have no option and no way to exist unless Reddit gives in to our demands.” But the reality is that Reddit literally gave them an option.

It’s like the “we’ve tried nothing and are all out of ideas” meme. Just make people pay. There’s no such thing as a free lunch.
That word doesn't mean what you think it means. Bonus irony given this context; a company based out of a communist country...
> Chesterton went on to explain why this principle holds true, writing that fences don’t grow out of the ground, nor do people build them in their sleep or during a fit of madness.

Chesterton never had to maintain an old code base. People do "build fences" during a fit of madness, or maybe during a bout of incompetence. But even then his point is well taken, because it's hard to tell if a given fence was built by a madman or a drooling idiot.
> Don't forget insurance; you'll want full coverage.

Most people in the US buy cars with loans and don't have a choice about insurance. So I don't see any point involving that in the comparison.

I don't yet have an EV, but I expect to buy one soon... so I've been thinking about this scenario.

* While not optimal, charging from a common 120v will likely get you 30-40m of range. That would be fine for me since I don't drive much.

* For those of us with electric clothes dryers in their garage with 240v power - it's possible to use an adapter to plug directly in or for $200-300 purchase a smart splitter device that disables the dryer and routes power to the car.

Personally I like the idea of not needing to wait for my car to warm up - not everyone does this, but I'm into cars and try to take good care of mine. And I like the idea of not needing to waste time going to gas stations - for the foreseeable future I will have an ICE car for very long trips and towing, but expect to have an EV and almost only charge at home. Very rarely would I ever need to use public charging facilities.

One thing I don't like about EVs is the trend toward paying extra for self-driving features. I'm very much against idea of SaaS/monthly fees for that.
I just want reliable conversions. In my situation (duct taping a very old service to a newer one), I needed to read structured files with UTF-16 fields, and process them into an eventual UTF-8 file written to a different location. The host this needed to run on did not have any unicode locales installed (and incidentally, I hate changing locales for my software because it's a program-global switch to flip, and most of my program still wants to run in the user's locale).

I found it ridiculous that there was no way to just convert UTF-16 to UTF-8 without either reinventing that wheel, pulling in an external dependency, or changing global state and having the right system locales installed (as well as knowing the name of at least one of those locales, and guessing a language along with it), despite having the latest C and C++ compilers at my disposal.
zip doesn’t translate to postal code. ZIP does.
it is an option.

just because you might find one choice extremely distasteful, doesn't mean the option ceases to exist. so I will say again, pick your poison. you opt in, or fail to opt out of automatic updates, then you accept anything that might happen because of that.
If someone replies within a few minutes with a link to a study, you can usually just assume it doesn't even support their point unless they're actually a researcher in the field.

It takes way longer even for experts to read and digest a paper thoroughly to evaluate the methodology and results.

Googling for 5 minutes and skimming the abstract for keywords that might be related to whatever you were arguing about is usually the norm online.

It takes years of training and feedback to learn to properly evaluate a paper in your own field, and that's after years of undergraduate education at least. Most people online skip even the basic textbook level background and think they understand what they're reading.
I've seen various articles about this and frankly, yes lots of people know it's an issue. I'm tired of hearing about the problems, does anyone have any ideas for a solution to this issue? Maybe creating a curated index of sites that are dedicated to small and well known bloggers?

I recall seeing there was a site that someone was personally building with this idea in mind, but I don't recall what it was called.

Yes, there was a reorg in 2014 where they eliminated the role of 'software developer in test', the justification was something something testing as a separate function is slowing us down and we want to put out more releases. Or something. Supposedly testing responsibilities didn't go away, they were just moved to the software developers, but my lived experience is quality went down, so I'm convinced that testing isn't happening as much. Certainly windows mobile 10 had much less polish than any windows phone >= 7.5 release. Of course, design changes I don't like can be hard to separate from some of the things I think QA would have found.
Assuming there is no legal issue, the opportunities would be to shame them with publicity like this, or make your opinion clear by reviews. Reviews will forewarn other users and (potentially) sway future behaviour of the product creator.

Not when the outside air is full of wildfire smoke, I would think…
Most older homes simple have an outdoor draft/damper for makeup air.

You’ll draw in a lot of dirty outside air with that setup if you don’t block/reduce outside air intake. It will still go through a filter, but it’s going to cause the filter to dirty very quickly.

Fair comment on getting a residential IP. I'm not necessarily looking down on commercial VPN providers. I do think a lot of their users don't understand the transfer of trust they are engaging in. As long as you understand that then great.

Another benefit is that your traffic can be pooled with other users coming from an exit IP which can be useful (as opposed from a single endpoint you control as I wrote about in this article). Tradeoffs.

Most of the "environmentalists" I know are deeply in favor of controlled burns. At a national level, the Forest Service is largely behind the dangerous build up in tree density in our national forests, due to the their total and complete ban on prescribed burns (although to be fair, they've slowly come around to realizing the importance of controlled burns).

And the timber companies are definitely not involved in any prescribed burning efforts (don't want to lose out on all that inventory).
We just recently bought a Hyundai Kona electric. While it was a good 10K more than similarly sized ICE vehicles (and the ICE version of the Kona), our fuel savings are >$100/month, and our monthly payments for the comparable ICE vehicles was not 100 dollars cheaper. And that's completely ignoring savings after the vehicle is paid off. This may not be true for all vehicle types/price points, but for the type of vehicle we needed, the electric was cheaper for us to buy.

Now yes, if all you need is _a_ car, you can get the cheapest ICE car for significantly cheaper than the cheapest EV. But if you need a specific type of car, that's not always true. At least for new vehicles. Used EVs are barely a thing yet, and so if you are willing to buy used, then ICE vehicles likely become much cheaper again.
I mean precision superhuman input like mouse or dual analog sticks.

I can't for the life of me see myself using a headset with a mouse, but who knows.

That said you cannot depend on not guaranteed inputs because the market goes down from 250.000 to like 1 for each input device (unless you want to debug all controllers with the headset). You need volume. ONLY Quest 2 has volume and as things are going now it's the only one that will for eternity.
