It might not make a difference when looking at a noisy straw man #general channel with strangers, but it certainly matters when you look at everything else like PM convos, PMs you received while offline, notifications while offline, and slower or more critical channels like #staff or a group of irl friends or announcement channels or almost every other channel type I can think of outside of noisy #offtopic channels.

> But if you're going to use a flat map projection for navigation, Mercator is it.

For you, perhaps.

As a professional geographer since ~ 1980 (ish) I did enjoy the NZMG (1949) that remained in use until 2001 - it was centred down the mean common spine of the North and South Islands and minimised distortion across the entirety of the New Zealand land and waters [1]. It was one of only three (IIRC) complex-number polynomial expansion projections in common use - but they're ideal for certain land form shapes.

I've seen a lot of local ellipsoid+datum+projection mapping systems globally - I was doing global geophysical mapping during the transition to WGS84 and got into the weeds wrt transforms between that and the 300+ mapping systems commonly in use about the globe prior to todays uniformity.

Pilots, of course, use aeronautical charts based on LCC (Lambert conformal conic projection) as straight lines there approximate Great Circle routes, satellite agencies use variations on the projections of John P. Snyder [2].

I'd humbly suggest that if you honestly believe that the Mercator family is the be all and end all for navigation then perhaps you're in need of further reading [2].

Ah, yeah, those accessories that would be Fortune 500 companies on their own. Those surely don’t count as whole products that (re)invented categories.

I use a 43" 4k TV, and I find that splitting the monitor into full height 1/3s is the most useful to me. Vertical resolution is gold for software reading and writing. And 1/3 of the screen is typically enough width that most websites don't look oddly cramped.
Conversely, when you sell B2C, the value prop can be considerably more challenging ("I can build this myself!", "This is too expensive, can you provide a discount?", etc) vs B2B where the customer will happily pull a credit card out, spend $500, and thank you for the value provided.
It's grounds for having your citizenship revoked unless it will render you stateless. People suspected of being on the way to Syria would get their passports confiscated.

Nine EU countries made similar rules, though I don't know how many still have it in effect. Any citizen/resident of Denmark is still prohibited from going to the conflict zones of Syria and Iraq.

I personally find the numeric id extremely valuable for internal data analysis and sharing. I can refer to rows by the numeric id, including a range of rows, and seeing the ids gives exactly that intuitive information about it's relation in the set that we are hiding from end users. Numeric ids can also be used for the same reason in an admin-only UI.

On the efficiency side, joining and querying by id is generally more efficient on CPU usage for querying, but you do have to pay the cost of having the additional column and index.

This is exactly the reason why decentralised services cannot win. People talk about Mastodon instead of Twitter, or Lemmy instead of Reddit, but the overwhelming majority of users wants convenience above everything else. They don't want to figure out which instance to join and how to get access to federated content.

Not personal experience, but most people I know who were laid off are taking it easy and enjoying their severance period. My own company just announced that we are massively ramping up hiring in the second half of the year, so the jobs will come back soon enough.
A long time ago, I was still in college (UK college, i.e., pre-university), and still learning.

I discovered a classmate was involved in some event, and found the event's website. They didn't have a captcha. By your logic, this was the right choice.

In reality, my dumb ass decided it would be fun to script something that would register millions of users (another classmate ran the script with me). After a few hundred thousand registration, the website was brought to its knees. I was a bit shook, but didn't think much of it.

Next morning I come into class, and was reprimanded by my teacher. Turns out, the owner of said event had threatened to sue the school and me, among other things. What had happened was their servers were down, their email server was brought to its knees, their web servers had died, and generally I had caused a lot of damage without even thinking about it. It caused them to potentially lose some money. None of this was my intention, of course, but I didn't know much better.

Point is, kids will kid, and spammers will spam. There are plenty of bots that just scrape the internet and fill out forms indiscriminately.

Captcha may or may not be the best option here (I'm always of the opinion it's not, especially not reCAPTCHA), but something has to be put in place, even if to stop the majority of bad actors.
Thank you. Do you have learnings or use-case you can share and you want to see OpenMeter to cover?

> The trouble is that attempting to learn from the lessons of past licenses tends to draw a lot of dogmatic outrage because said licenses either don't conform to the open source definition or four freedoms - or at least, not in the opinion of the OSI or FSF.

They generate outrage because they are accompanied by people trying to change the definition of open-source, not with the idea of alternative licenses.

The right being acquired by being in the locality. Homeless people can and do vote.

One can argue it is difficult to verify someone is telling the truth about residency or argue whether six months is a good choice of time period - those are valid implementation questions, but I strongly believe that in a just system, you need to be there.

Suppose a locality is bitterly divided over an issue that affects everyone, and elections centered on that topic come down to the wire. In my county, that issue is upzoning.

If you suppose that elections centered on this issue come down to the wire, it strikes me as unjust to run elections under a system where votes are up for sale, and the outcome of the election can be swung by people who have spent no time in the locality.

Because it can be difficult to prove. There are/were no direct flights to Syria. So people would travel to Turkey and cross the land border to Syria.
You say that as if using the site operator is the only way to do it, which it's not. Most people can figure out that just adding the name of the forum to their query is often sufficient. And this is often how people find forums at all. If you're googling for something in general and not looking for it on discord, you won't find any discord chats. You might find a forum though.

Also, your at worst scenario is a bit contrived. There's plenty of ways to not get an answer, to get a wrong answer, or to be berated by gatekeepers because "you don't actually want that".

It's still the internet, don't make it out like discord has somehow changed that fundamental fact, because they really haven't.

Doubt all you like, it's a thing. "In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that roughly 1.7 million healthcare-associated infections, from all types of microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi combined, cause or contribute to 99,000 deaths each year."

ERs are dirty, busy places filled with pathogens. It's not uncommon to share the waiting room or a semi-private room with other patients with unknown conditions throwing up or coughing, with the resulting droplets/areosols in the shared air. Even before COVID, going to one when it's a borderline situation requires a bit of calculus, especially if you're medically complex.

This should be upvoted more. The main reason we avoid doing these bureaucratic things is that they're useless in the long term. They're just part of the games that we play with each other, but it seems that the subconscious is really good at detecting BS and stopping us from doing that.

You don't need to tell kids things that are misleading nonsense. It only confuses them more. You can be precise and high level at the same time.

The countries with the 2 highest GDPs, China and the US, are in the top 4 largest countries. India, #5 in GDP, is #7 in area.

I guarantee that if you plot the countries of the world by GDP and area, you will see a trend line.

It also makes sense. More area = higher chance of larger population and more natural resources. And more space to carry out economic activities with said people and resources.

Edit: I just queried Wolfram Alpha about this. It generated a plot for me, which shows what I expected. Check it out: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=list+of+countries+with+...

Enforcement of this code of conduct would seem to inherently put the enforcers in violation of the Code.

The Code states, "Harassment and other exclusionary behavior aren't acceptable."

Yet, targeting specific individuals with exclusion seems to be the main method of enforcement.

As you indicated, the linked-to page recommends exclusion be used: "In addition, violations of this code outside these spaces may affect a person's ability to participate within them."

The GCC Code of Conduct Response Guide (https://gcc.gnu.org/conduct-response.html) also advocates for the use of exclusion: "In ongoing situations, any member may at their discretion employ any of the tools available to the committee, including bans and blocks."

And: "An imposed vacation (e.g. asking someone to "take a week off" from a mailing list or IRC)."

And: "A permanent or temporary ban from some or all project spaces (mailing lists, IRC, etc.)."

The "vacation" one seems particularly insidious to me, as it tries to portray externally-forced exclusion as something that a person voluntarily imposed on himself.

Like so many other open source project codes of conduct, this one also seems to be inherently self-contradictory and hypocritical.
So, I can see just how this would work super well and make people quit smoking. The power of headsets to induce extreme nausea is surely ever-present.

Will it also cause aversion to headsets and to VR? :)
Thanks for the reply, I'll definitely keep an eye on all that.

> For a Slack competitor like Linen it would make more sense to use web UI because of the video calling/WebRTC stuff.

USA here. Amazon certainly sells trash and used items as new. Not every order but every now and then, if you look closely enough, you will see “oh that tape has a fingerprint under it” or something similar. Infamous story of woman getting a box of soiled diapers.

Another complication are the 3rd party sellers.

I’ve gotten used watches, air filters, lights etc. personal health gear, books, and more. Again it’s not the rule but it certainly happens and you have to pay close attention.

Another dark pattern is that you cannot select sold and shipped by Amazon only anymore, which to my personal experience, leads to higher chances of counterfeits.

Had a wedding registry on Amazon once, got some high end knives that immediately started rusting. Realized a lot of the stuff we got was 3 rd party sellers, figured some of it might be counterfeit and I wouldn’t be able to tell until it was too late. Returned hundreds of pounds of cookware, cast iron, etc all at amazons expense.
Discourse is a nice experience once you're in, but the lack of federation is problematic. With NNTP, IRC, or even email lists, I can participate in multiple communities from one screen. With Discourse, I need to register on different sites and then visit each of them individually and regularly if I want to actively participate. Consequently, I don't often participate in those communities.
I suspect that the dopamine feed of modern media and internet has left people without so many quiet moments in which they could practice contemplation.

So you're saying, all of that CO2 has been "invested" into our atmosphere, where it will continue getting the planet hotter (can we call it "hot storage"?) until somehow removed (someone else's problem!); in order to enable continued speculation, while the ridiculously overprovisioned infrastructure is not even doing much anymore, in terms of processing actual transactions?

> Great products sometimes don’t solve existing problems. They sometimes create a need.

Oh god, you're giving me flashbacks to the "courage" keynote...
To be super fair too, if you compare Discord to forums, (the thing lots of communities were using before Reddit) in terms of whether it’s good at managing a large discussion, remember when there would be a thread with 19 pages? People would be challenged to find the actually useful post on page 5 when there were dozens of pages on an active thread.

So it’s a slight reassurance, although I feel like still the difference is Google would index those, so you could be landed right on the interesting page. With discord, an hour after the brilliant point was made, it’s essentially lost for everyone but whoever was looking at the chat when it happened :( so I guess my point is… it’s not so bad, but actually it’s pretty bad.

You may be right about what you're describing, but this sounds incomparably more like bullshit than any chance of being right.

I've played with VR, and it's really not that immersive - no more than any other good media.

In particular, VR is definitely not as immersive as actual reality, so anything that could be done in VR to convince someone of non-fantastical things can also be done (at a higher expense, for sure) with actors and props. So, your claim about 5 minutes to quit smoking has no reasonable chance of being true from where I'm sitting.
Yeah, the paragraph you quoted feels heavily designed to sound convincing but isn't very honest. For most of the past 25 years there haven't been 25 million headsets, and the headsets that did exist weren't standalone. It's simply 0% surprising that I never saw anyone watch a movie in VR on a plane before 2020.

A more honest way to make the point would be to say there are 10 million Quest 2's, and have you ever seen someone use in to watch a movie on a plane in the last 2 years? I will admit that, in the few plane rides I've taken in the last few years, I have not.

Having a CoC is what gives moderators of a community the ability to drop the ban hammer and give a decent reason (in other words, establish some rules and keep out people who routinely break them).
