I'm not going to argue with your assessment but... what even is modern scifi? I'm almost 40 and after you saying this it made me wonder why all of the space operas I've read are from people nearly twice my age.

Are there any up and coming or recent space opera people I should be reading?
I think you should be responsible for other peoples poor life decisions.

These decisions are part of the equation for health. eg people exercise poor judgement with their health as a result of another condition and genetics. Those decisions also lead to further health problems.

They’ve found multiple genes tied to obesity. It’s striking how poorly these conditions respond to attempts to get better. At a certain point you either blame the patient, or accept that this is an incurable disease.
(by incurable I mean we’re not very effective at curing it).

Why just lash out at someone with a disease, when for the majority of people this isn’t really tough? They just don’t struggle with these issues.
I'm not even disagreeing with that.
I saw the tradeoffs of Tailwind too.

And yes, I also agree with the core of your critique: Tailwind is a (yet another) DSL on top of CSS, which makes it smelly.

But as I see it, the reason for using Tailwind is not that this DSL was easier, in fact it's the opposite, I constantly had to use IDE autocomplete and/or the docs in order to use it.

Tailwind is a nasty DSL inside the class attribute, yes. And still, this DSL can be and often is a relieve from other custom CSS that grows exponentially and causes bugs due to selector complexity.

Tailwind IMO solves the same problem that styled-components, CSS Modules and ShadowDOM try to solve.

did oregon have a unified intervention program where there was one point of contact who knew and tracked the patient from initial contact through all ups, downs, sides, and arounds? that p.o.c. would have access to full patient history (in a social sense also), and be able track the progression and punishments and rewards the "system" offers.

Let's take a weather database. I point my browser to some URL, you send back some HTML that the browser shows to me. In order to get a nice, uniform architecture you have followed all the REST principles and I can click around in the database. Fine, you build a nice web application following REST principles.

What you did not do is build an REST API. API means consumable by software and just formatting and rendering the response does not count as consumption by software, at least in my book. I want to get the data and compute some statistics on it. For that I need to know the structure of the data in advance, need to know which URLs to retrieve, which operations to perform, which data structures to expect. That is what WSDL, OpenAPI and friends are for. That I can understand XML, JSON or OData is not good enough.

But if you do not make the structure of the API explicit somewhere and only tell me what I get and where I can go next while I am interacting with the API, what can I do except baking the structure into my code in one way or another? HATEOAS and API just do not work together. So what am I still not getting?

It seems to me that Stockholm, culturally and ethnically, was very homogeneous hundreds of years ago. That homogeneity was reflected in the architecture of the time as well. And now they are preserving that, at least architecturally. Many seem to think that’s good (at least in context).

But what about diversity of food? Industry? Is homogeneity of architecture really something we want? Isn’t it backwards when many say it “feels good” when all the buildings look the same?
Sure, but I think a lot of people who saw the headline were only interested in the simple, quick answer, which was certainly enough for me.
Isn't the opposite also true?
I'd say it means nothing for diversity in general, and especially when it comes to people. People aren't buildings.

I was working on fixing some of those bugs last weekend. Can you clarify which annoys you the most so I can add unit test later this evening? tl;dr; The main problem is that the z-index stack and client ordering list are global and this cause changes to one tag to affect another. I am moving those structure into per-tag trees rather than global stacks.

>You'd be amazed how much worse v4 is on this front. Leading zeros are actually legal, but they turn the field into octal.

That depends on the platform (and, no, leading zeroes are not legal). I work with Node.js and leading zeroes in an ipv4 address will be correctly rejected. There is no chance of mistaking 127.00.0.01 for 127.0.0.1 (the former will fail the net.isIP test). With ipv6, Node is quite forgiving and this annoys me. Without deconstructing and reconstructing the address in proper canonical form, it is difficult to tell the difference between identical addresses due to the presence of extra zeroes (they will pass the net.isIP test). Unfortunately, Node does not include a method for normalizing an address.
That improvement sounds great. Any chance that’s up as a PR to blender?

> We absolutely should/must be able to buy an outdoor jacket that lasts decades

There is no possible way a durable water repellent (DWR) coating will last decades on a jacket, with or without PFAS. Modern outdoor apparel simply isn't designed for long term durability - it's designed for flashy marketability, because the externalities don't have to be priced in. There are a few exceptions (e.g. "true" softshells like Buffalo jackets) that have never, and will never, see mainstream adoption.
Sure, and if you're ideologically opposed to a policy you can make a comment like this. What's needed is data on many alternative approaches, what policies _and_ executions taken as one promote better outcomes? Over what timeframes? Otherwise it's just all shouting into a windstorm.
I assume you're being somewhat sarcastic, but I'd bet giving drug addicts stable housing would probably help at least some people with rehab.
I think the “in practice” is pretty important in that sentence. Because in practice it is pretty hard to prove that someone knew what they said was untrue.
They don't store any meaningful amount of electricity (which is why they haven't supplanted Li-Ion batteries for power tools) and more importantly they have a cycle-life - they degrade from usage (source: my wife works for a supercapacitor manufacturer).

You also get losses from practical usage - i.e. no one can build a 3V supercapacitor that has decent endurance (you can totally build one which will work, but you're rating it knowing that every cycle is damaging it).

Hi! I'm part of a team working on an open-source pipeline language for prototyping with LLMs. We're building an on-prem product that helps prototypers move past the n=1 of having a back-and-forth with a chatbot while keeping bounds on hallucinations. Our backgrounds are in open source, data science, and academic research. Our primary goal right now is to talk with people who have built their own bespoke LLM pipelines to see what problems they're trying to solve right now. If this is you, we'd love to talk! My email is in my profile.
The architecture is the same I belive, it's just a fine tune so there's nothing special to be done for this version. That said, ggml doesn't support Falcon, but i saw today there is a fork that claims to, though I didn't try it.
Then I will have to read the thesis once more. Sigh. I am pretty sure it talks about APIs, that is interfaces consumable by software. What a browser does, formatting and rendering a response, is not what I would call consuming an API. Well, the browser is actually consuming an API, it sends URLs and receives HTML or whatever. Is that the API the thesis has in mind, HTTP itself, while I was always thinking about the one on top, the one that lets me transfer money from my account to someone else? In some ways that would make sense, in others not at all.
It’s hard to get toothpaste back into the tube.
In all previous examples there’s a clear pattern where an initial subject matter evolves into a broader social or cultural issue. In the last example, this pattern is broken, and it instead simply presents a statement without the prior context or escalation. A disruption in argumentative flow, if you will.
It's really popular in factories etc, because it reduces cable runs I guess.

The legalization of drugs (alcohol included) comes with catastrophic consequences.

The benefit is that it allows for 1) freedom of choice and 2) it is (theoretically) better than the alternative (defunds criminal gangs, provides tax revenues to fund treatment, etc.)

However, we seemed to have completely dropped the ball on #2, just look at the untaxed marijuana sales on New York City streets, where are all the new rehab facilities paid for with drug tax revenues. Why are gangs and cartels still making so much form the drug trade and still commuting violent crime?

In 1970 and 1971, in New York City, more adolescents died of heroin-related incidents than any other cause. Watch what you wish for. Hard drugs are not pot or alcohol; anyone who has used all of them at least a few times will tell you that. As someone who had heroin addicts in the family, and as someone who did a lot of alcohol, pot, ecstasy, cocaine, amphetamine, etc., in his 20s, I'm strongly against legalizing hard drugs. You need to experience it firsthand to understand what it's like.

Hello. I'm a fullstack developer with a bit of a unique background. I went to Phillips Exeter and then WPI, where I dropped out after five years because of Covid and a desire to work on my own projects. My most recent and ongoing project is a React Native mobile app that helps people stay off their phone: Users adopt a virtual pet whose well-being and growth depends on your staying off your phone.

I am still working growing the userbase, securing funding, and developing the app, but would in the meantime love to hear from anyone looking to hire developers/builders/co-founders/peers for their start-up or project in the Boston area.
Something tangentially related, but something I'm unaware of - if I do run into an ICE on nightly, what is the current process for reporting that? I've run into one or two before (and I've generally assumed it was me doing something dumb with the environment, and I couldn't replicate it), but I wouldn't mind trying to report them in the future.
> preceded by discussion, some of it uncomfortable or perceived as "disruptive" by some, which prepares society for that change.

Is yelling in social media sound bites "discussion" though?

Recently I blocked an internet rando on social media who was arguing with me and ridiculously compared himself with Martin Luther King, because he was being "disruptive". It's true that advocates for social change are often viewed as disruptive, but the converse is not true: just being disruptive doesn't make you an effective advocate for social change. MLK spoke and wrote at length, eloquently. He wasn't writing "dunk" replies and quote tweets.

Using C# source generation for enhanced logging
There have been smoke-filled blow-hards in academia for generations, such as Hegel, whose entire opus consisted of deliberately nonsensical word salad, and whose careers in income depended entirely on confusing people in such a way as to seem profound, with word salad intended to be impenetrable and non-specific so nobody could clearly point out the myriad ways they were full of crap. Schopenhauer had a good go at explaining it, if you're interested.

Popper was one of those people. He was not a scientist. He never had anything to do with science. He was a sophist. He talked rings around people in such a way that they never knew what the hell he was talking about, but they assumed it must be profound and amazing.

Karl Popper himself based his ideas about science not on actual science, but on the philosophies including Marxism and Freudian psychology.

Karl Popper's own words: "A theory which is NOT REFUTABLE by any conceivable event is non-scientific." Therefore the theory of gravity is not a scientific theory because nobody has yet conceived of an event or experiment which refutes it.

I realise this will cause a negative reflex among those who are addicted to internerding and have held tightly to the unfounded belief (picked up from other internerds) that "Science must be falsifiable!", but it's just not reality. It's just a little thing that people saw on Wikipedia, latched on to, and figured it was really significant and legitimate. But it's just Popper's nonsense.

There are plenty of extensive criticisms of Popper's sophistry out there by actual scientists and philosophers. Feel free to read some.

As for the scientific method, if you can't do a web search and find out what they actually is, well, nobody can help you.

I can see the need for firmware in oscilloscopes, like a Siglent, but why would I need or want the complexity of firmware in a soldering iron that could possibly go awry and self-destruct?

I picked up a JBC clone soldering station for cheap from overseas and never looked back. It takes all of the regular tips. It gets almost as hot as fast as the real thing, but it's not quite as accurate or as powerful as a real JBC. For home use, it's good enough for me. I JB welded on a JBC tip quick change stand on the top of the station.

Home lab protips:

0. Save money by buying most equipment used, including taking an occasional risk on repairing nonfunctional items.

1. If you enjoy your health, don't risk it. Don't solder indoors near living areas, get a serious vacuum canister-style fume extractor, ventilate with outside air, and always wash your hands after handling electronics or soldering.

2. A bi/trinocular microscope with a polarized light source. Your eyes will thank you.

3. Regardless of the route you go for soldering, get a temperature tester. It's good to know the accuracy (skew) and precision of selected vs. actual.

The first well-done climate models by Manabe and Wethereld in 1975 found that a 2% reduction in solar radiation would cancel the effect of a doubling in atmospheric CO2 levels.[0,1] This problem has an engineering solution that should be implemented as soon as possible.

Stop beating up people with guilt as a “solution” to reversing use of a resource has has become as essential as water. This tactic is as cynical as the bottle industry funded “Make America Beautiful” campaign. Simple blame shifting.

As Mark Laynas summarized in his book Six Degrees of Climate Emergency, 4 degrees of warming means Alaska is climatically equivalent to Florida, and population collapse ensues from crop failure. This will occur between 2050 and 2100, and perhaps sooner, if nothing is done. Look at the graph made by Exxon in 1982 in the opening pages of Michael Mann’s book The New Climate War. They knew this 40 years ago, even with the more limited computing power available then.[2,3]

But there is a solution in a solar shield to reduce insolation 2% while we transition to sustainability. Ironically, stopping burning hydrocarbons suddenly (for example as a result of a global depression) would hasten the problem as SO2 levels partly suppresses the full effects of elevated CO2 levels.[0,1]

I am as tired of denialists as the “reduce reuse recycle” crowd looking for behavioral change solutions because they are more “natural.” Let’s do what works: engineering and carbon market-based solutions that have successfully addressed other similar issues like the ozone hole and acid rain.[2,3]
