The rest of the world sometimes has to use the same websites.

I live in Australia. I listen to a series of audio dramas created in the UK. They have a website, and sell and promote their releases there. This is the source of information about these items. And when they say "Coming Spring 2024" they are not thinking about their global audience, and I can't get any information about these releases from other websites.

It's parochial and wierd to use an arbitary metric based on what hemisphere you're in and assuming your entire audience is restricted to that hemisphere (or at least, not caring about the others).

It's clear and simple to say "Coming September 2024". That's not tailored for a country, it's tailored for a set of non-geographical overlapping cultures, some of whom might want to give you money.

> Avoiding meat and dairy is ‘single biggest way’ to reduce your impact on Earth

No it isn’t. The single biggest way to reduce your impact on Earth is so unpalatable as to be literally unthinkable: don’t eat meat and dairy, avoid having children that have children that have children that all want to eat meat and dairy.

Avoid having children that take airplanes and eat almonds.

Avoid having children and your impact on the Earth rapidly zooms out to nothing.

That’s not the only reason or the main reason to avoid having children. But it’s as good a reason as any.

Nobody will mention it at the top of articles though. Children are a joy and a treasure and not having them would be a slight against human nature.
I think the main limitation is currently in Flatpak sandbox. Lots of apps assume control over the whole computer (IDEs, Rust, Android tooling). Lots of apps still rely on X11, which allows trivial sandbox escape. And then a lot of apps just ask for full access to your home folder or even to the whole filesystem, just so that they can open documents. Even if you try to restrict it manually, you can only make an access blacklist, not a whitelist. It's like trying to plug holes in a sieve. You are one update away from Flatpak poking another hole in the sandbox at the request of the app developer.
Hope it will fire the guy that releases new cpu sockets without reason.

I bought an AMD AM4 socket motherboard 3 years ago for a good price ~55$ (A320MK) and recently I upgraded the CPU (a 5600G - 12 threads at 3.9GHz with powerful integrated GPU for 100$) and the motherboard supports it. Very nice!
Until they get smoked by an asteroid again. Even if nonhuman life somehow doesn’t get wiped out by other factors it’ll all die with the sun. If we are the only place where life exists then that means humanity is the only chance life has of continuing after this planet is gone.
I mean that I still need a job to get access to those things. Housing prices go up and up, whatever automation is happening in that market is not helping ordinary people who need a place to live.

Food is a different problem. We have access to very cheap calories, but the overall quality of nutrition is way down in advanced economies, leading to an epidemic of obesity.

Textiles is pretty much a solved problem. We have so many clothes, we give them away en masse in developing countries. I think there are very few people in the world without access to adequate clothing, and if there are I suspect it's a distribution problem.
That's an interesting theory (re: no eye tracking).
It does when it is enacted with one months notice.
Honestly, as a midclass/poor class individual (+90% of the people), what could one do anyway?

Food itself is a luxury for many people/countries.

Imagine asking for poor people to go vegan or to buy electric cars.

Optimal for who/what/where ? That's the question

Things are changing fast and large population clusters will have to be displaced as a result which is ... less than optimal

Rapid change in any direction is for sure detrimental, you (country level) have to reorganise your supply chain for everything that's weather/climate dependant, and guess what, there is a lot of that (food, energy, &c.)

Random example; train tracks are engineered with the local temperature in mind because they contract/expand with heat, which means we'll have to replace a shit ton of tracks, is this something the average joe could have imagined no ? Well there are hundreds of other scenarios you don't know about that will kick your ass real soon

https://www.vice.com/en/article/k7bwb3/why-the-uks-trains-ca...

Was 1800 the optimal best weather for everything, everywhere ? No, but we definitely built our entire infrastructures and supply chains based on that.
ROI should always be a consideration. It's reasonable to argue the merits of documentation. It may even be reasonable to argue that most projects would benefit from increased documentation. Without knowing how long it will take to write it and how many people will use it, you cannot reasonably insist that writing more documentation should be a priority for every project.

Much like automation, the question should be phrased in terms of how long it will take and how much time it will save. https://xkcd.com/1205/

Nonsense. There were plenty of arguments from the very beginning for the lab leak theory. The alternative "bat cave" hypothesis had plenty of implausiblies (e.g. huge distance) and was far from being "proven".

Yeah, I think there should be an "iconic" test to this stuff. If your brand is a household name ("before I leave brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack") then you lose some amount of control over it. You still can't use the mark in the product segment of the mark and you can't imply the product is endorsed by the company but after that go hog wild.

This is such a weird ruling because the product under consideration is something that should obviously be allowed but the law the court was asked to interpret was so cut and dry. IP law is too strong.

Structs and strict type enforcement for a subset of the code, I really like. Also, a more seamless pipeline from "experimental python" to "reliable production ready python" makes a lot of sense to me.

Hahaha, so true! One person was sleeping in the airport lounge I was at and he kept the whole room awake!

The third one is fundamentally different though. You probably know all this, but I thought it'd be a good idea to mention to prevent any confusion for other readers.

Your second example:

>>> x = ('a',)
>>> print(type(x), len(x))
<class 'tuple'> 1
>>> print(type(x[0]), x[0])
<class 'str'> a

x is now a tuple with 1 element, which is the string 'a'. (You don't need the parentheses, by the way: 'x = a,' works just as well. The comma is necessary though! Some people think tuples are created with parentheses, but parentheses are actually not required, except in the special case of the empty tuple.)

Third example:

>>> x = ('a')
>>> print(type(x), len(x))
<class 'str'> 1

x itself is now the string 'a'. The parentheses didn't change anything; you can further 'optimize' to x = a without any change in meaning. x[0] still works because, as you mention, by accident x is a string with one character. It doesn't work in other cases:

>>> x = ('gotcha')
>>> x[0]
'g'
>>> x = (3)
>>> x[0]

Toxic communities is what you call them before censoring them because they have the wrong politics.

What taxes people should pay is politics, allowing excessive threatening of public figures with violence is not politics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R/The_Donald

Any sub I mention you will find a way to justify a ban for.

The fact that you won't mention a single one or give an example is telling. In your other comments you are upset about r/The_Donald

The bullshit about "private companies can do what they want, it's not censorship"

I never said that it wasn't censorship. It is, and agree with it or not there is a reason it happens. Companies don't want to host and broadcast threats of violence and hate speech.

US centric politics

The mistake here is what you think of as 'politics' a lot of other people would think of as stochastic terrorism.

There are plenty of places where you can give your opinion backed up by evidence. There are even plenty of places where you can say anything you want (like voat) regardless of how awful and disgusting it is. The problem isn't that you want to be able to say what you want, the problem is that you want your toxicity broadcasted to a wider audience and no one has to do that.
It's still a muddy situation...

On one hand, it is intentionally made to look like a Jack Daniels bottle... on the other hand it's not nearly the same product type and it won't interfere with product sales for actual Jack Daniels company.

If we look at other similar concepts, can an apple (=fruit, or juice or strudel, etc.) company use an image of an apple with a bite taken out? Or will apple get grounds to sue?
> This sounds ridiculous even to me, but it’s a strange feeling to see the death of Reddit.

The reports of Reddit's death are greatly exaggerated.

I imagine everything will go back to the status quo as soon as this protest is over. The mods have no real leverage, and a temporary outage like this isn't going to suddenly make a bunch of people switch to some other site.

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing.

The one line which is also very high in the beginning of the year is from 2016.

This is what I found about that year: "In 2016, 342 disasters triggered by natural hazards were registered, below the 2006-2015 annual average."

2015 was a "peak" disaster year with a relatively "normal" line.
> Much easier said than done. Try to actually do that

Ha-ha, thanks for the offer, but I'll pass - all that complexity is precisely why I'm not even going to try, it requires a lot of dedicated team effort put into it, a simple "try" is doomed to fail.
Uh what?

Quick google shows that a Hyundai Ioniq gets around 4 miles per kWh. An average US household uses 886 kWh per month. You’d have to drive 3,500 miles a month to have the electric car use more energy than the entire household.

Yes, there is an energy cost in building the car, but there’s also an energy cost in building the refrigerator and dryer and washing machine etc in the house.

I’m sure some electric cars are worse than the Ioniq, but they’d have to be considerably worse to equal the energy used by a household.
It's not so much that a different setpoint is worse per se "at steady state", it's that the world has been in a fairly steady state for quite a while now, with little variation, and our structures have grown to depend on that particular state. Think of the locations of cities, the allocation of agricultural crops in given regions, the whole economic system built up around that, etc.

Essentially we've been able to rely on things being a particular way for ~10,000 years or so, and if things keep going the way they are everything will (a) be different from what we've grown to expect and (b) be changing unpredictably for a while to come, meaning we can't just set ourselves up for a new configuration.

This is the way I understand it, anyway.
> I'd like for someone to throughly research and write about how it became taboo to discuss the virus leak theory

It was politicized.

At the same time, it was a "theory" based on little to no evidence early on. Rather than let scientists work through and figure things out, people were shouting it through the roof as if it was confirmed. Basically, it was an answer in search of evidence, rather than using the evidence to direct the answer.

There was a lot of pushback against that sort of talk, especially here.

Couple that with a divisive administration here in the US that caused confusion and chaos, there was little to no hope for it being anything other than taboo.
Fair. Corporations that are overly zealous about IP protection.

Part of their complaint referenced in this decision was that the toy “associates jack Daniel’s with dog excrement” which I did laugh out loud in shock at when I first read it. It does seem a bit Orwellian, in the loosest sense - if I want to associate your brand with dog excrement then it’s my god given right!

It’s not just startups. I’ve been working in “The Enterprise” for 28 years and with one or two exceptions, my time would have been better spent automating internal processes that were documented than working on the actual product. And by better spent I mean the money saved in person hours manually and many times errantly repeating tasks that could have been done by software, exceeded any revenue generated from the product software I was working on.

To be clear, my description was very much tongue in cheek. The man had no discernable sense of morals. He very brazenly allied to whomever he needed to further his interests. For example he was always very friendly with Putin and I wouldn't be surprised if a Russian exile was always an open option if things went south at home.
In finance-tech and that's the way it is for us. I once embarked on a hopeless journey to get some old laptops piled up in the IT space, for an elementary school programming club. They would not sell or donate them despite them being perfectly useful laptops, even with the drives removed. I suppose they were worried about RAM? Anyway they got ground up into landfill I guess...
That would have been completely fine with me. But it's obvious at this point Reddit's goal was not to effectively monetize third-party apps. The goal was to crush them.

It's time to stop calling this "climate change."

It's like, say, someone keeps shooting people in the head, and you keep describing the problem as "sudden death syndrome."

Umm....no. It's not sudden death. It's either guns. Or murderers. Or both.

We don't have a climate change problem.

We have a fossil fuel problem.

We're living in the fossil fuel catastrophe.

And sure, we all benefit from fossil fuels. But it's also a bit having a gun pointed at our heads.

And no matter if you think guns are the problem, or people are the problem....

The symptom (climate change) is not where the solution lies.

Let's put the focus on the actual problem -- fossil fuel.

Fossil fuel is killing us. Not climate change. Fossil fuel.

Edit: replaced the word "oil" with "fossil fuels."
> Interestingly, over half the site's top 1000 subreddits on private barely makes a dent in the number of posts and comments.

Probably because the top 1% of the top 1000 subs accounts for the majority of the posts and comments. The corporate and/or state backed propaganda subs like news, worldnews, politics, movies, etc are still up and running.

The blackout is probably driving people to these available subs rather than forcing users to leave reddit altogether. Think about it, if you are a reddit addict, are you going to leave because a few subreddits went private? Of course not, you'll simply go to other subreddits.
