I agree with the main claim you are making here. That decision-making models are important an aspect to minimizing the chance of failure when considering decisions. Nothing I said is an attempt to contradict your main claim.

> Your politics are revealed with your choice of examples here [Antivax stuff, Putin/Ukraine or whatever is credible].

I understand that antivax has been claimed by the mainstream right (there are antivaxers on the far-left but they have limited influence), but it feels like I'm living in some bizarro world that people see the efficacy of vaccination as being "political." It feels like I'm living a ham-handed allegorical story about dangers of irrationalism.

> Who needs a decision-making mental model when we can just trust what the experts tell us about these things, or maybe "trust your gut"? That's never failed.

I'd argue that trusting your gut or trusting experts are both decision-making models. They both work well within the right context and fail outside those contexts.

* Trusting your gut is often the right option when you have to make an immediate decision and you don't have time to weight the various options. Something weird is happening on the highway ahead of me should I break now? I have 0.3 seconds to decide.

* Trusting the experts works if the experts are experts in that field and that experts in that field have a long track record of correct predictions and the experts are talking to are in fact experts in that field and have access to the level data which has rendered correct predictions in the data. I'd assign a near 100% probability to a statement by an astronomer that tomorrow night will be a full moon over Toronto, I'd be less likely to assign a high probability to a physicist saying that this new experiment they have will detect sterile neutrinos.

Even those fields in which I am an expert in, I weigh the claims of other subject matter experts when I do not have the time to do the necessary reading and work. The biggest problem with trusting experts is determining is a particular "expert" is actually an expert in that field when you are non-expert in that field.

Not me? I saw people applying the methods we're talking about to convince themselves that the likelihood of their pet conspiracy theory is true is around the same as a coin toss. You can reach bone-headed conclusions if you're determined to do so, whether you use some decision-making mental model or not.

Great article, the example makes the point really clear.
It probably applies just as well to other languages by the way.

Two small notes after completing my read:

1. You're using `npm prune --omit=dev` after the build. It's probably fast enough, but I'm wondering if it wouldn't be worth it to install the dependencies in two steps: first `dependencies` in a first image, then in a second image, copy those and rerun `npm install` to also install the `devDependencies`.
You could then copy in the final image:

- The production dependencies from the `deps` image
- The built code from the `build` image

2. Also, it's probably a detail, but you're copying the entire app folder in the final image, maybe you could save some extra bytes by only copying the built artifacts (e.g. `dist/` in most setups).
While your main point, that in this case no license or other agreement is being broken and there is no evidence to suggest that the OSM project is unhappy with the situation…

> If you use the GPL, those competitors will just be Chinese or from some non-western jurisdiction that doesn’t care about GPL enforcement.

This is true – some in China will use GPL code and not stick to the license and that may be a competitive advantage over companies that do play ball¹. But other people ignoring the license should not be considered a reason for anyone else not to, and that shouldn't stop people choosing the GPL if that is what they want for their software.

To pick just one point, vis a vis Brandolini's law,

> For starters, the cost of Tesla vehicles needed to transport the same number of people as a train, with the same life span, would be prohibitively expensive.

Some quick math:

> ...the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) plans to spend $3.686 billion in the order. The contract is split into three parts: R211A, R211S, and R211T. The majority of the 535-car base order will comprise 440 R211A cars...

$3.686B / 535 cars / 30 seats/car ~ $230k/seat.

Of course, you can sardine people into trains more than you can squeeze people into cars, but we've ignored the cost of rail, larger tunnels, and large underground stations needed to run subways, and cars can handle load variance more cheaply than trains, which often run near-empty. And anyway,

$3.686B / 535 cars / 240 sardines/car ~ $29k/sardine.

If there's an advantage to train cars here, it's not as obvious as you state. Maybe the cost of mass produced road cars is somehow worse, but it's certainly not obviously worse enough to make the project illegal over.
Out of curiosity, why do you use Alfred instead of the built in daily template functionality?
While that's true, what _can_ happen with these sorts of subsidised projects is that the building goes up, but... that's about it, and nothing much ever happens in the building (this was essentially the case with that Foxconn Wisconsin thing, say). That said, that does _not_ seem to be the case in this instance, but, in general, a building going up isn't great evidence for anything.

Yeah, it isn't all roses on the linux side, for sure. It really isn't perfect on any of the platforms though. I have had no end of USB issues with MacOS, and with no indication it will be fixed. I am told to buy 'supported' (Apple) devices. That's not very 'universal'.

It is amazing how much improvement there has been in recent years. The main thing that makes me want linux ecosystems to be used is that at least they are slowly improving, not simply positioning for a rent-seeking position in the 'market'.

This is very cool. I do a lot of puppeteer scraping and this library would help with a lot of the more complicated DOMs to work with.

I have a live coding stream I did the other day scraping Facebook for comments https://www.youtube.com/live/03oTYPm12y8?feature=share

If you're interested in seeing puppeteer in action I started doing streams last month where I talk through my method. I’ll be posting a lot more since it's been very fun.

Overall puppeteer is great because you get to easily inject js scripts in a nice API. Selenium is great too but not as developed of a web scraping interface imo. Also puppeteer is a very optimized headless browser which is a given. What really matters is implementing a VPN proxy and storing your cookies during auth routines which I can get into if you have any questions about that.

Neither really. The VP uses a pair of 4K displays to render a high dpi section where it sense your eyes focusing. This is out of a much wider virtual display space (potentially 360deg). As your eyes and head move it shifts the image through that high resolution area. the space outside that area is rendered in a lower resolution to match your peripheral vision. This technique is called foveated rendering.

People who have tried the demos say that it is a seamless experience. Moving your eyes and head around, you see things rendered at a 4K resolution but it appears that the space around you is unbounded.
So long as the fine is affordable, they will keep using it.

I had literally never written any Ruby before contributing to Homebrew and now I write it for a living. This was when there was no documentation and now there is lots (https://docs.brew.sh, https://rubydoc.brew.sh).

I'm really not convinced that Ruby syntax is what makes the Homebrew formula DSL non-trivial. I've written enough YAML for k8s stuff that it seems like the language is rarely the cause of misunderstanding.
And of course that $1500-per-head number isn't a retail price tag, it's a deliberately outlandish frame-setting starting point for the negotiation. I'd bet F1 would be happy to make deals for a third or even a tenth of that number if that's what they can get a business to pay.

That's definitely the feeling I get when I see the grants that get given out for Broadband to underserved areas. So much money gets spent on infrastructure for not much actual benefit.

Hopefully these fabs don't follow down that road. If nothing else, it'll be a lot easier to check and see if the objective were achieved, compared to broadband which is inherently much more decentralized.
>No one lives in these areas, so no one will get the subsidy

>Where's the harm?

the harm is that no one will get the subsidy. The point of the subsidy is to help people get internet. There are hundreds of thousands of people that don't have it, many because they can't afford it. This isn't a case where they picked 100 areas for the subsidy, and it happens that 2 of them don't currently have anyone living there. This gives the illusion that that a solution has been put in place, without actually heping any of the people that need the help.

It's the puncture that's the key, not the nail. Clostridium tetani spores are ubiquitous in the soil and become capable of tetanus once they're in an anaerobic environment - and about 98% of oxygen in blood is bound to hemoglobin.
A train or bus that only carries a few people is not really a problem. Because labor costs are the majority of public transit operating costs not vehicles it makes sense to use the largest vehicle everywhere. Using minibuses or smaller train cars just means you get capacity issues during rush hour and you can't standardize on one vehicle.

You are right that public transit does not go door to door. Riders are expected to walk a block to the nearest station. If a transit system tries to replicate taxi service it would be too expensive or would really inflate waiting times for a ride.

This is some great advice, manage to reduce my deploy & build time by half, but most importantly, understand better what I'm doing. As a Docker casual user, most resources out there never take the time to break it down like that. I remember reading about using the same Docker image for local dev too, so you're ISO in both environments, but it requires some more steps to watch for changes. Any plans to write an article about that?
For compressed logs, it doesn’t have to be significant. If you can get structured logs into a TSDB you really only need to retain logs in cold storage or for as long as more detailed views or correlation might be necessary.
I've had two issues with homebrew that always bothered me:

1. It doesn't work well with multiple users
2. It doesn't build apps using DESTDIR correctly.

Number 2 has been a bigger issue for me. Homebrew configures autotools applications using the full prefix of /usr/local/Cellar/app/version. It then gets installed to that prefix and is symlinked to /usr/local.

The problem here, is apps built like this look for their data in their prefix path (/usr/local/Cellar/app/version/usr/share/data/) rather than /usr/local/data. This ends up breaking things.

For example, I was working on porting a gtk app to mac os, and needed to build gobject bindings. Normally, glib would be built with a prefix of /usr/local, so it'd look for all gobject bindings in /usr/local/share/gir-1.0/. But since glib is being build with a prefix of /usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.40.0, it is expecting all gobject bindings in /usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.40.0/usr/share/gir-1.0/.

But, when I build libchamplain, it installs its gobject file in /usr/local/Cellar/libchamplain/1.0.1/usr/share/gir-1.0/.

Now, everything gets symlinked to /usr/local/share/gir-1.0/, so it looks like it would work, right? Except, gobject was built with the full prefix, so it _only_ looks in /usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.40.0/usr/share/gir-1.0/ for gobject files. This means it doesn't find libchamplain or any other libraries.

The correct way to do this, is to run configure with the destination prefix (/usr/local/), then do an install using DESTIDR: make install DESTDIR=/usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.40.0/. Then you can symlink to /usr/local/.

I'm sad that people don't do much of public reflection on how they managed to get where they are (how they moved things where these things are). Contrary they make up appealing stories (which sometimes becomes a part of idea becoming impactful) hiding real mechanics. I appreciate your kind of openess. Thanks for sharing. What you described is aligned with my observations and I hope it will save some time of rediscovering things which work.

Most people you see at a gym will probably be classified as 'overweight'. The fact of the matter is muscle is counted against you in BMI, and it takes very little to cross into the 'overweight' threshold. I would have to cut down to around 12% or lower body fat to be considered 'healthy', and I'm far from jacked.

1. Being sub 12% body fat (the highest BMI that would be considered healthy) is arguably unhealthy in and of it's own

2. Being on the low end of healthy would be, if my math serves me, -2.5% body fat

3. BMI does not distinguish between unhealthy / overweight, and fit / healthy (which should be the primary goal of such a metric?)

4. BMI aligns the best outcomes with those that will minimize muscle mass

It's not that BMI does not have it's place, but let's call a spade a spade.
Yeah, not entirely.
> Arnold Schwarzenegger is 6'2" and weighed 235lbs at contest (30.2 BMI) and 260lbs in the off season (33.4 BMI). So much for your "all" claim.

Most people aren't Arnold. Outliers don't count in studies, for very good reasons.

It is understood that when we say "all" we mean "close to 99%", and for 99% of the population with a BMI over 30, they are overweight.
