I don't full-time or even part-time RV. I own a class-a 36' diesel pusher. During the summer, I spend one month on the Oregon coast, and during the winter, I go to Twenty-Nine Palms or Palm Springs for one or two months. This allows me to fully immerse myself in an area and explore national parks and new places for an extended period.

I wish I would have known how stressful it can be. For me, It feels like there is always a drag of stress - maybe a 30% overhead of stress. If you suddenly don't have hot water, it is on you to fix it because when you are "living" in it for that period, someone won't be able to come to help you repair it for several weeks. You can't even throw money at it, they just are too busy and can't come out.

Driving can be stressful too. You get experienced to it after a while but driving at night down a two-lane highway with diesel trucks behind you, in front of you (another lane), and directly to your left where the vortex pulls you in all while you're trying to keep it in the lane can be stressful. Pulling into a truck stop to fuel can be stressful.

I like to stick to around < 300 miles per day. I prefer to arrive before it's dark. This means a 12-hour drive I would make in my car can end up taking 2-3 days in the RV. I don't mind taking the time now. I relax, unplug and enjoy it. It now relaxes me. I would rather it take time than to worry about driving at night or pulling into a spot at night.

The last few times we went we had two older dogs. One was having seizures. We didn't know it yet but she had kidney failure and had quit eating as much. We didn't notice her feeding habits at home since the other dog was a jerk, eating her portions without us knowing. The trip was fortunate because we got to see everything up close and in person. I have a slight deficiency in object permanence and for them to be right there in my face, we were able to see it. The other dog -- nicknamed Pigbert now -- was having serious issues with his arthritis. He would randomly screech due to pain. A steroid for two weeks solved it quickly.

If you combine those things with the 30% constant drag of stress it can be very unpleasant. No hot water, caring for dogs in crisis, and stressful drives all lead to something that is quite unmanageable.

My advice is to just be aware of managing stressors and ensuring you have as few as possible on travel days. My other advice is - if it sounds like it is for you - DO IT. I have backpacked Europe and traveled to very nice resorts. None of them top the amazing experiences I have had on the road. I won't personally live in that small of a space full-time or part-time but I admire those that do it.

That's a very good point.

Do you have thoughts on the Heroku->Render dynamic? Is there a name for it? I've seen it enough now to recognize a solid pattern for a successful business:

1. Company starts to do X, makes it a wonderful experience

2. Users love it, it's successful

3. Company stop treating users well

4. New company steps into make X a wonderful experience again, with the advantage that the market is pre-validated.

How much of an advantage is it to know that users want what you're creating? Do you have any tips, like ways to reassure people you won't follow the same dynamic as the original company?
"In a 2015 profile of Two Sigma, Forbes described Overdeck as the “master chef” at Two Sigma, and Siegel as the firm’s manager. Soon after, Overdeck brought a chef’s hat into a meeting with Siegel, said people familiar with the situation. Siegel was furious about the incident for days, the people said."

I am curious why wearing a chef's hat would be such an offensive thing to do.

Any thoughts?
I have a tankie friend and his MO is whataboutism. Usually he can quote historical examples but if he can’t then something like “you’re naive if you think the West doesn’t do this”.

He would sound exactly like the spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who said that transnational repression “is an allegation that best matches the U.S.’s own practices.”

It is what happens in the banking system all day long. So, if you think this is a ponzi, then the entire banking system is a ponzi.

I've given you a legitimate use case and all you can do is yell ponzi. That doesn't help your argument at all and makes you look like the greater fool.

I don't know, I may be the only person on the planet who actually likes Teams. Like, it's still a pile of shit like almost all software designed in the past 10+ years - but it's better and snappier and prettier than Slack ever was for me.

Maybe the difference is that my employer fully embraced the Microsoft stack, with Office, Outlook/Exchange, SharePoint, and Teams forming a coherent and well-integrated whole.
$12/year/repo? No, that is way too much. I would rather selfhost at that price point. With the number of repos I have that would be a ridiculous price. I don't use the wiki or the container registry so it is largely text file hosting at that point.

Dark Forces 2, cog files! I haven't thought of any of this in years!

We're very similar, it was my introduction to game editing - I was never a fan of DOOM, Quake or Unreal/Tournament. But, I played around so much with JKEdit, and even continued with Jedi Outcast. It was by far the most fun I had with modding a game until Morrowind came out years later.

I really wish that modern games were as accessible, at least at a surface level - modding has fallen to the sidelines in recent years - I can't even think of the last game that came with an editor outside of a Bethesda game.
These systemic forces were always there since almost over a decade now but they always focused on growth, not revenue. Now, it's as if their cash flows are depleting and revenue is where they are focusing even at the cost of growth. Reddit is a classic example where they're not even caring about users leaving the platform and going elsewhere. They're perhaps realizing that those users are of no use to Reddit unless they can somehow turn them into revenue - which ironically those 3rd party apps seem to be doing better than Reddit itself!
I mostly agree, but with one exception - I think mocks are still useful for RPCs to other systems, where you want to test that you:

1) Call the right method on the interface with the right data, and

2) Correctly handle different return values from the RPC.

If you change your code to call a different RPC method your test _should_ fail, I'd argue that's exactly the point of this sort of test.

On the other hand, for testing code that you entirely control, I 100% agree that a fake would provide a better test,
As I understand that was meat industry propaganda that found a new life on the internet. Early veggie burgers were made out of soybeans so the industry made up the "soy turns you into a woman" meme to discourage people from switching. Then it got picked up by conspiracy nuts and got amplified way past the original market.

I know many people with mental health issues (including myself), but my sample isn't terribly generalizable as they're either from my family or my wife's family. For me personally, the scenarios I've opened up in are, without exception, intimate. The absolute maximum has probably been 5 people in conversation, and it has always been in scenarios where time feels plentiful. It also helps tremendously if others break the ice, though that's not always a requirement.

For these volunteers that are trying to improve the mood of those struggling with no prior credibility or relationship, my best guess would have been organizing something like a series of cafes where people can come and pet consenting animals. Have volunteers be available for conversation, but defer agency in that process to participants. I would consider things like have a rotation of volunteers semi-clandestinely engage in alone time with the animals so that socially anxious participants don't feel overly conspicuous if they also need to be alone. I might also have some PPE on-hand for those especially anxious about hygiene. I'd probably look a bunch of stuff up to see what accommodations are helpful to people of various mental struggles, figure out a subset that seems plausible and give it a shot. That's my best guess.

It's in the article: "america does this too". I actually don't think America does this as a general rule but it does on occasion do worse (black sites) oh and also china has black sites too. For example, does the us actively attempt to do anything to Snowden or Assange - besides arrest them in the open? I doubt it.

It's sorta a two-sided thing.

Is a world with Patreon more or less gate-kept from the perspective of "influencing things to your taste" than one where you had to be rich enough to sponsor a Mozart or such?

Is a world where you can't afford to make your own compositions because you don't have the money to afford the tutelage or the free time to master every single step more or less gate-kept than one where you can play around and learn on free or cheap software tools?

It'll be different but there will still be artists - creation will be open to more people than ever before - and I also don't expect that the power-law function of cultural products and taste will change, so there will still be big winners from those artists able to command $$$.
There has to be a change of policy at the WHO where if there is a theoretical possibility that a virus or disease can cause a global pandemic then a recommendation is made to take precautions, including halting international travel. The current strategy of “there is no confirmed human to human transmission so let’s wait until it spreads” does not protect the human life form on this planet.

Yeah, it's super busy out there now. This is one reason for boondocking. I pretty much don't even look at campgrounds anymore, knowing they'll either be full, or I'll be packed in between two noisy groups when I'm trying to relax. I don't have an RV, and I imagine it's a lot harder to drive those up a forest service road in the Cascades, but there are still plenty of places you can go (looks like that's the author of the article's preferred method too).

Yes, it is a strength.

You may want a new control operator. In case of, say, Java, you go and ask language developers. In case of Haskell, you write a function or a bunch of functions. "if-then-else" can be implemented in Haskell as a function, for one example. Myself, I created a lot of these control operators when I worked with Haskell. I also used a lot of operators defined by others.
> For Twitter the algorthmic timeline means who you follow has such a small impact on who and what you see. And even if you switch to the non-default cronological timeline,

"Non-default" sounds too harsh here. It's literally a big tab saying "Following". It's only default for the very first time you log into Twitter, afterward it will remember your decision (it will be "default").

> , replies, likes, and retweets will often put content from people you don't follow into your timeline.

No only retweets will show in the Following tab. Which seems reasonable, as retweets were historically done via copy&paste. The other things aren't the case anymore for the "following" tab since Musk introduced it. (By the way, after pg himself asked him to add that possibility!)

I agree that Facebook is way worse in terms of moderation, but Mastodon doesn't seem an improvement over Twitter, quite the opposite. Those moderators are moderating for users, when this should be simply left to their decision of whom to follow. People or posts will be hidden from users who would not have hidden those themselves.

The decentralized approach sounds cool initially, but it leads only to even more segregation / filter bubbles / echo chambers. As if the choice of whom you follow didn't cause enough of that.

I think that's a real issue. Political polarization increases since the amount of media channels increases. When there were only a handful of newspapers or TV channels, they couldn't be too politically biased, otherwise they would scare away most other people. This changed when the number of media outlets increased. And with social media, every user now is able to create their own little reinforcement chamber.
It's pretty complex, though. If a farmer pumps water out of the aquifer directly underneath, irrigates crops, and most of the water (minus evaporation and crop biomass) is returned to the aquifer in a matter of days... is it fair to say the farmer wasted it? Modern irrigation systems easily have an efficiency of 80-90%.

Some irrigated farms in the Central Valley will be withdrawing from aqueducts, but part of the reason why the valley is dry is because we built these aqueducts, harming agricultural land for the benefit of SoCal cities, with the promise that the farmers would be able to use that water. So not sure it's fair for us to claim the moral high ground.

Much of the California water crisis is manufactured too. There's no shortage of freshwater for the foreseeable future, but we're not building new dams, aqueducts, etc, essentially relying on the infrastructure built in the 1960s and before, for a population only fraction of what we have right now. Climate change plays a role, but the bulk of the pain is self-inflicted and has little to do with growing rice or watering our lawns.
I mean, if moderating is going to become literally impossible than the moderators should provide more sober, detailed arguments for why this is the case. As far as I'm aware this just hasn't been done. It's just "we have these tools we like and we don't want to lose them", which is a far weaker argument. If there's a serious rationale for why moderating will suddenly require 10x the effort or whatever as before, I'd love to see it.
Honestly the traffic reddit gets from google is probably << traffic from organic reddit users. Even for myself as a non-Reddit user I intentionally search Reddit through Google. What you say holds true for smaller sites, but there's a reason Facebook blocks Google indexing (for the most part), and it's because Facebook wants people to be using Facebook, not Google. Even if Reddit loses some search traffic they shouldn't be giving up that control. It's not like people don't know what reddit is, or that the app isn't sticky (it's obviously very sticky).

I'm happy to have a FK to a reftable with int, shortname, description
They came right out and told you: nobody cared if nine out of ten investments were a total loss, provided the one had enough juice to make up for it. And, "juice" is an extremely vague term here: it could mean profitability, but given that there was so much money sloshing around, usually it just meant that the stock price jumped enough for investors to cash out - but that stock price was not necessarily tied to any tangible performance, much of the time.

The real giveaway though, was the fact that stock dividends - you know, the thing that historically you buy stock for - are basically unheard of among all but the biggest companies in tech (and even unheard of among some of those). We have now an entire generation of leaders in tech for whom profitability has been this kind of abstract notion they didn't have to think about much, which explains why they all seem so ham-fisted now that they're being forced to.
Perfect. If you implement something deep you'll understand the problem space and if you do, you'll understand why a certain library is so good or not.
What is so insidious about moderation is you could have a moderator removing posts for whatever reason they like and you will simply never see that content or even be aware it was removed. I’d love dual versions of subs - moderated and unmoderated so these people could be regularly audited.
This isn't a stressor, just an observation. Another thing I would share is that most of the people on the road are twice my age. This can be a pleasure when you meet unique people who like you because you remind them of their grandkids which means they spoil you with meals and stories. This can also be a nightmare where they are retired, have nothing to do but complain and there is a major generational difference in how they understand and respect your same-sex marriage.

I don't use windows that much.

My experience is with (mostly) Debian, some Ubuntu and less Red Hat/Fedora/Centos. Some VMS, some Solaris (which thankfully don't change that much.)

I do not doubt there are people who enjoy macOS and do not use the features about which I am complaining.

I am not saying they should be driven from their homes and publicly shamed (which some people seem to think I am doing.)

I am saying there are more than a few people for which the current window manager does not work well. I am one of those people. The author of the article referenced is another of these people.

I do not believe that either of them are you. I am not implying that macOS does not work for you. I do not have first hand experience with your use of macOS.

But I am saying... theApple? window manager behavior is, in my opinion, sub-optimal and can be improved.

I was not talking about the window manager behavior of windows or any of the myriad of Linux options. I was talking about the macOS window manager. It's the window manager on the Mac, which is a product produced by Apple. It is not the same as Linux or Windows which are developed and supported by different organizations.

As for your assertion that people have not stolen ideas from "windows" I have some very bad news for you. It turns out that both Apple and Microsoft stole from other organizations. Mostly Xerox, some Tektronix, some from the Athena project. There's even a paper trail where apple says "hey. we'll let you buy apple stock cheap if you let us look at what you're doing at parc." And Xerox responds with "where do I sign!?"

At one time Apple had the user interface research group that was the envy of the world: glass, tessler, etc. They got steved in '97 and replaced with an exceedingly talented designer who did not have a history of running user studies. And we got the "we know how you should do this" mentality.

If you want to do things the way apple wants you to do them, then great. You should do them that way. But thinking that other people want to do things the way you want to do them is... well... it's probably the Apple way... which is why I don't buy apple products.

Also... when was the last time someone stole an idea from apple?

I think this is more of a civil case, perhaps the world's largest class-action lawsuit against the US and Chinese governments for damages in the area of >$10 trillion in economic damages, as well as unspecified other damages for emotional distress for relatives of the deceased.

Accepting the blame is not something either the US or Chinese government is interested in, and it's unclear what court could hear such a case. Regardless, the body of evidence points clearly to a Wuhan Institute of Virology lab leak caused by sloppy lab protocols and which involved gain of function research funded by US government agencies, i.e. NIH / NIAID, channeled through Ecohealth Alliance.
USPS or FedEx Ground via EasyPost, whichever's cheaper on a given day for a given package. I just punched in the numbers and a 6x6" padded envelope weighing a half a pound would cost us $4.12. I just shipped a 22x16x17" package weighing 34lbs for $21.65. And we're a small rural shirt shop, most people are ordering shirts for family reunions and sorts teams. Most days we don't ship anything, so we have very little volume.
