That sounds a lot like the old "tastes approximately just like beef!" testimonies going around at the start of the last wave of vegan fake meat products. Yeah sure, some people might find the substitute to be palatable. But most of those you're arguing with have concrete and legitimate reasons to prefer a direct flame, so it's kind of silly to expect "close enough" to convince them.

I like PHP, but this made me chuckle.
There have already been six "Unintentional high-speed collisions between active satellites and orbital debris" [0], the most recent of which was in 2021.

There is more to worry about than just tracking satellites following "extremely well known paths". You could have a situation like Intelsat 29e [1] where a satellite is torn to pieces, creating a debris field with parts too small to track. You can't avoid what you can't see.

Different strokes. Personally I avoid Docker in favor of source-code-deployment; the "magical pipeline" is usually just "git pull and then run a provided command". But Render does support Dockerfiles for eg. installing a runtime like Deno that isn't provided out of the box
Yes but does it fit the form factor?

For all we know the palm is also sending serial commands?

And they wouldn't. That's the point. I don't think it's a matter of "just don't play games" either. Games don't have to look like <insert pretty "modern" game here> in order to be fun. Look at Battlebit for a recent example of this. It's not a minimalist game, but it surely ain't maximalist.

All of these are either subjective or based on personal needs. I agree, you should use what works for you. As should the people who like minimalist software.

> I don't know why people just pretend there hasn't been any ultra costly nuclear incidents.

The costs from climate change far exceeds the cleanup and damage costs from all nuclear accidents combined.

Even if we spammed nuclear reactors I still don't think a proportional increase in nuclear accidents would come anywhere near the damages from climate change.

The advantage of nuclear energy is that it will only pollute a large area in a disaster. While fossil fuels spread their pollution constantly over the entire planet by design, no disaster required.
I see Facebook locking you out (no great loss there) but I'm less convinced about Amazon or Netflix. They're not advertising-based businesses, so are not suffering with bots-consuming-ads problem.

Put another way, my site is unappealing to bots, and frankly I don't care about bot traffic, because I don't have ads. So I don't feel the need to support this server-side.

Equally Amazon makes money selling goods, not ads. They don't need to know if its human or bot, they just need a credit card. [1] Netflix is subscription based, again doesn't care if its a "trusted device" or not. They want you make sure their content is available not blocked because my TV is "untrusted".

Sure, you'll end up using Chrome to use Google properties. But I don't really see the incentive for the non-ad-based Web to bother implementing this.

I am getting sick of seeing the same edgy fatalistic comments every time a climate article is posted. If you are really such a master of the universe that you can predict the future and know it’s gonna be so horrible, then you must also know that the only morally justifiable action for you to take is to end your life right away to become a net-zero hero.

Otherwise why don’t you calm down and entertain the thought that maybe the future won’t suck, and might even be normal or good, just like the present is right now.

You are right, I almost never need support but when I do I appreciate it. Apparently they have a flag for accounts of people who know IT stuff. Found that out when my partner ended up talking to them and she got a bit flustered over the questions they asked.

I also like to think of it as doing my bit against the enshittification of everything. Cheap internet is a race to the bottom and it's not pretty.

But Aussie Broadband looks pretty promising. I like that they are open about CVC issues. Will consider them next time we move.

I'm amazed you throw these ISP names out there that I never heard of before. Probably not doing advertisements and bill boards and stuff. Maybe the internet situation in Australia is not as bleak as I always thought :)

It makes zero sense that vacuum or pressure would drive marination into our out of the meat when it should almost instantly equilibrate with the external pressure (because it's not a rigid vessel.)
Well, it seems more like the standard food vacuum isn’t strong enough, not necessarily that vacuum marination in general can’t work:

The one used in the article was half an atmosphere. On the other hand, a pressure cooker goes up to a full atmosphere, and in half an hour can produce meat that tastes like it was marinated for a day or two. Yes, the heat helps here too, but that’s not enough on it’s own: boil a piece of meat in something like beef broth for that long and you don’t get a result anywhere near the pressure cooker, not at all.

So pressure can absolutely make a difference, just not the low end food-saver countertop versions used for simple preservation and storage of food.
20 days of below zero temperatures though? Wikipedia lists Lismore’s record low temperature as -3 C and an average low of 6.5 C in the depth of winter. That’s way too hot for blueberries to fruit. I figured inland Australia got significantly colder but without the rainfall to support blueberries.

The farm does have Mountain in the name though so I assume they grow at a higher altitude, but I grow at a significant altitude in California too and it doesn’t drop the temperature enough, at least in high desert climates.

Still seems like they've made some progress on reducing frost requirements.
A domain is not going to attract traffic, and doesn't actually matter that much, you need to market the website if you want traffic.
Similar story in France, ISPs have to give each other access at regulated costs, after an initial grace period (if an ISP builds a new line they have exclusivity on it for 1-2 years, to still incentivise investment). Internet is broadly affordable, and there are tons of villages and towns in the middle of nowhere with proud "commune fibrée" sign on their entrance. (Ironically sometimes such villages and towns are better connected than midsized cities due to the costs involved).
If we ban wealth, we should also ban career politicians. Otherwise we are just trading one unjust ruler for another.

I agree with you about how awful a two party system is. I sincerely wish that political parties were not a thing in this country and we simply looked at the candidate and their own personal policies and voting track records instead of the letter next to their name on the ballot.

I also wonder what those certain baseline requirements are going to be? Weird that they're left ambiguous.

It's probably nothing to worry about. We have a ton of precedent with Widevine that "it's okay, we'll license to anyone who meets requirements" wouldn't ever be abused[0]. It's fine, you just meet the baseline requirements that aren't spelled out yet and that might be subject to change and that certainly won't include headless or highly scriptable or experimental browsers. Nothing to worry about.

Are you aware of something specific that establishes that that’s a true statement? Because if this is about the FBI investigation into the Trump campaign, I haven’t seen a single thing to suggest that the impetus for that investigation was “the Democrats”.

Learning to deal with frustration is probably one of the most important skills one can acquire.
That's true, but they aren't doing this to provide internet to villages. As you pointed out, there's not much demand there and that's why no one bothers to provide internet access (I guess the good thing with Starlink and Amazon's version of it is that once it works, it should work in those places too).

Anyway the real reason they are doing it is that is extremely hard to enter the ISP space. It's not even the cost of fiber to run to every home, it is the cost of laying it and all the hoops the existing monopoly will use it.

Google has tried and failed. What often happened is that when they enter market with its 1Gbps offering, suddenly the 30Mbps ISP had 1Gbps and even at a cheaper price. They could sell it at a loss, because they were making a killing in other regions. They also created all kind of obstacles when Google tried to run a wire.

It is ridiculous and we really need a law to force competition.
Also why are they having kids, why are they buying things, etc. If someone is truly concerned: vote that way, go work on making floating houses and thermal isolation and carbon recapture and leave the rest of us that live normal lives with average carbon usage alone.

Anytime someone that had kids mentions anything about reducing other people's carbon output they should just be ignored. You just created a potentially forever chain of carbon usage that will be exponential. Meanwhile here I am with my "constant" carbon usage to your O(2^n) in perpetuity.

Sort of! On Windows, it's WebView2, which is more or less Chromium. On Mac it's the system's Safari, which I'm pretty sure is frozen at the OS release (or maybe gets updated with OS updates). So I'm less worried that it'll break with an update, but I've had to fix a few issues when someone is running on macOS 10.13 or something like that, where Safari is just missing some modern JS thing. I've solved that with polyfills and Babel and it's been alright.

CSS is the other issue, where old Safari doesn't support grid and some other stuff. So I stick to flexbox and well-supported stuff.
I'm about 2 years into primarily writing Rust (after a long time in the .NET world).

The borrow checker slowed me down a lot at the start but these days it's not a big deal. Eventually you internalize the easiest ways to make it happy (clone and pass references as needed) and can reserve tricky optimizations for hot paths where they actually matter.

I would say that today, most of the times I sit down to write some Rust I'm nearly as productive as in higher-level languages... but then ~20% of the time I get bogged down in complicated type signature stuff (especially with async code, ugh) and it's a time suck.
The problem with term limits is that they discourage the lower classes from getting involved in politics. Only the wealthy can afford to just take a 4-6 year break from their career.
Great write up. Scary. But very digestible for a complex subject area.
I am pretty open about my past failures with others but I definitely understand why people aren't. There is a stigma associated with failure that society still hasn't accepted. My last job I held the title of VP of Engineering. It was a small company and during my time there I recognized that the title was outsized for what I actually did. I was actually more of an Engineering Manager. All of my direct reports were ICs not other managers.

I ended up leaving that job because politically at that company I had no voice, and people above me lacked basic leadership skills and continually failed to recognize it. Additionally whenever I would call out issues, it always would somehow manifest into a problem with me. So I ended up leaving, and not on great terms.

Once I took a long break, I started looking for jobs again. The title I carried on my resume was bullshit, and trying to interview for Senior Engineering positions proved difficult. When I made the interview I made it clear what I did at that company. I told them that the title didn't represent my duties. I feel like some saw this as a blight. I finally accepted a job as a Software Engineer and now am slowly fixing my career.

The lesson I learned was to never accept a worthless title. Somehow people still misunderstand my directness about this job in my history. It carries a strange weight, but hopefully with time I can correct it.
Even employee owned companies can do misleading marketing. :)

You'll have to expand on this. IG Horrowitz didn't find in his report evidence to suggestion what you're saying:

Failure is a complex issue for many of us (me def included). While I do think it's really important for us to be able to openly talk about failure, I think it's just as important (if not more) to frame failure as not just part of the process but as a good thing. Mistakes is how many of us learn and even if we can learn other ways, making mistakes can be a fantastic teacher. I've found that learning from them dulls the pain some and turns it more into an opportunity instead of a regret.
