The public may have the will, but if the political system or those who are within it (which is a function of the system) aren't willing to exercise the will of the people, it ain't getting done.

Take Medicare For All as an example: bipartisan support among the public, never gonna happen.

How people continue to fall for "Democracy" being our most sacred institution would be puzzling if one didn't realize that the world runs on stories, and those who write such stories are professionals at it, whereas those who consume them are rank amateurs....like taking candy from babies.

If you ask me, if the public really cared about climate change, they'd be willing to surrender their memes....and maybe they are, but they are not able - some things require training, and such things are not taught in school, which is rather convenient.
When I started reading this sentence I thought you had them backwards because I was thinking "something I have" as being a public/private key pair for an arguable definition of "have", so when I hit your comma, the confusion was fixed. But now I'm not so sure I was wrong.

I hate having to type my password multiple times in the morning for work, but only partly because of the 2fa on my phone that goes with it. If my computer could just detect my phone being nearby (indicating my presence) that would be great. Then something-I-have would actually out-convenient something-I-know.

They can just put the rest of the code in this proprietary "Rama" lib that apparently doesn't count, and make it one line of code: Rama.StartMastodon()

That way you can call it "public domain" too, I doubt a single line is copyrightable. With all the real code hidden. Awesome.
With all that said, I am a monorepo guy. Not for ideological reasons.
For practical reasons.

Yep. It's a balance. The big problem I have with large(r) repos is that everything git related is just slower and takes way more space. I've got some git prompt magic (using gitoxide of course) and it just drags with the rust repo.

At one point I wanted to make some changes to a man page in FreeBSD. Sure, it's neat that there's thirty years of history. But it's thirty years of everything's history. Shallow cloning made it a bit more bearable, but the UX for trying to grab just a directory or two from a repo is still petty gnarly.

But it's all just emacs vs vi all over again (and I've settled on helix and sublime anyhow).

surely, the attacks from KF against public persons serves to restrict those persons’ freedom of speech.

> The so-called “dark web” has plenty of deserved ill repute, however, so although it is resistant to censorship by Tier 1 ISPs, it is not a meaningful option for many, much less an accessible one.

that’s a way too casual dismissal. consider the type of person who posts on KF for just a minute (go there yourself if you haven’t), and think if they might be way more likely than your average person to know how to use tor, a VPN, or something to obfuscate their traffic before posting to a forum where they themselves might be harassed.
In the McDonald's case, though, it wasn't a "hack". It was simply reporting the error properly.

Apparently one of the biggest failure modes is "overfull supply hopper doesn't heat fast enough". Just reporting that tells you what you need to do to fix the problem. Dump a couple cups out and rerun the cycle. Or "feed too viscous"--dump the entire thing and run water on a cycle. Then reload with a fresh batch.

This seems to be emblematic of that machine.

And, the problem isn't that these machines don't have good error reporting. The problem is the fact that these machines are terribly unreliable. A 15% failure rate is bad. However, there is no money to be gained from fixing the issues. So, neither Taylor nor McDonalds's will spend any money to fix it.

It's also emblematic that, given the health sensitive nature of the machines, no other company attempts to do heating in place. I presume that somebody in those franchises looked at the reliability numbers and laughed Taylor out of the room.

The Poison Papers
Ruby did have a lot going for it about 15 years ago. Many Java/JSP people jumped ship and got on the ruby train. Ruby was a breath of fresh air comparatively.

Python had a great community though, and the Python Software Foundation went out of it's way to make people feel accepted in the community. And frankly programming is often more of a social activity than most people realize -- particularly for new programmers.

So new programmers tended to lean towards python, because the resources to lean on others were there. And people like Raymond Hettinger, Naomi Ceder, Ned Batchelder, and Yarko Tymurciak were approachable even if the BDFL wasn't.
I'm sorry, I thought you were offended. I guess you are not, but what the negative connotations are is still not clear. So you didn't really tell me "exactly" why it is disrespectful.

I wish you a nice day also.
The „good news” is that code injections are still widely popular in a form of supply chain attacks.

And this is also our fault, e.g. due to the explosion of dependency hell in npm libraries.

This is probably the best intro to modern supply chain attacks and detection techniques, just shared with my team this week:

Funny story:

When I took an "intro to programming for scientists" type course in early 2010s, it was taught in Ruby. This was at the height of ROR's popularity, and the instructor must have been curious about Ruby.

So Ruby became my first language, and for a year after taking the course I did all my scripting in Ruby. There was nobody around me (a lab full of C and Fortran coders) to tell me otherwise. Eventually, I switched to... MATLAB, and a couple years later to Python.

And in 2023, I don't remember a lick of Ruby. But I remember it was fun to code in it.

> But clearly they are dropping the ball all the way to the third basement. If a piece of equipment is so bad that it's lack of reliability becomes a meme then you have issues.

I couldn't find numbers - however I have a feeling the issue isn't less reliability than expected, but rather McDonald's serves more ice cream products (by volume) than most or all other fast food chains.

Anecdotally, people travel to McDonald's only for some of their ice cream products, such as McFlurries, and then leave disappointed when the machine is not working. Very few people go to, say, Burger King just for a shake. This pattern makes the issue more visible.

> The same manufacturer sells reliable machines to all the other chains!

We have no real evidence of this though, do we?

It makes zero sense to have these conspiracy theories that McDonald's is being paid to push unreliable machines on franchisees or something. Few if any franchisees are even complaining about this issue, it's customers like you and me who are mad about not getting a milkshake, and then companies trying to shoehorn their way into the lucrative commercial repair business.

If McDonald's thinks everything is ok, and franchisees on average are not complaining, then what's the real issue?

No matter how we spin it, this particular situation has nothing to do with Right to Repair. It's about corporate standards for franchisees.

> There is likely hundreds or thousands of dollars of additional infrastructure needed to handle 3-phase input to a house. You have breakers, busbars, the transformer into the house is different, and on and on.

Split-phase system and 110V are currently more expensive in term of infrastructure.

The distribution itself is done in 3-phases power, even in the US.
The conversion to 110V and split phase is done in the last mile as close as possible to the termination point to limit losses. You have to have tiny power transformers everywhere and this has a significant cost.

At the opposite, end-to-end 400V three phases system requires to have only one large transformer by Area. Generally directly connected to High Voltage (20KV in Europe).
Back when I decided it was time to add a scripting language, Perl and Python seemed like the obvious choices, and in my mind were equally good options. I asked my best friend which I should choose, and he more or less said, "You can't go wrong with either one, but when you ask for help Perl people are assholes and Python people are nice."

I can't confirm his thoughts on Perl and I haven't interacted much with Ruby, but the Python community is definitely welcoming and patient in my experience. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a significant factor in Python's prevalence over Perl, Ruby, or anything else.

If you have access to an API to process BACS transfers, you might be able to avoid having to pay percentage VISA or MasterCard fees. For any non-trivial sums of money, Griffin's fixed-rate pricing is rather competitive. The only real downside of transfers at the moment is needing the human in the loop, whereas card payments have already had fully automated platforms such as PayPal, Stripe and Opayo for many years.
Let's say that Judaism is made illegal, and the police bust an underground synagogue, or homosexuality is made illegal, and the police arrest the host of a gay book club that meets at his home, or, to strain credulity, a group of lesbians meet in secret in Tasmania to avoid having to include translesbians.

Yeah, you basically only find aluminum wiring used today for the feeder, and for circuits larger than 60A. And that's mainly due to cost, copper is pretty expensive.

"Under the heading “produce aligned AI before unaligned [AI] kills everyone,” the meeting minutes indicate that someone suggested the following: “Solution: be Ted Kaczynski.” Later on, someone proposed the “strategy” of “start building bombs from your cabin in Montana,” where Kaczynski conducted his campaign of domestic terrorism, “and mail them to DeepMind and OpenAI lol.” This was followed a few sentences later by, “Strategy: We kill all AI researchers.”

"Effective Modern C++" had nothing on "Modern C++ Design", published in 2001. A coworker lovingly referred to it as "The Anarchists Cookbook of C++".

My understanding at the time of publication was that there was no shipping compiler that could deal with his implementation library for the book, "Loki".

My impression of C++ changes since then has not been that they were adding new capabilities, but rather trying to add proper ways to achieve the desired compile time/runtime/memory behavior without resorting to (at least as much) arcane template metaprogramming.

Is there actually a "block list" of this kind? It seems like it couldn't possibly work, e.g. there is a huge foreign entity that does zillions of honest transactions but isn't in a jurisdiction that subjects it to a given block list and it gets a transfer from some wallet that is. Either you now block anyone who transacts with them in turn and by Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon therefore the entire world, or transfers from "blocked" wallets go in there and come out non-blocked.

>...our heads really don't fit through our pelvii anymore. The trajectory of our species and our genus has been going in the direction of brain enlargement ...

I'm interested in reading more about this trend. But whatever the data, it does not sound "natural" to take that phenomenon and apply a mechanical solution to the problem. Taken to its logical conclusion, human reproduction becomes dependent on the availability of these mechanical interventions. That sounds like a really bad idea, at least to me.

>Designing kids and/or producing (for capitalistic purposes) them seems orthogonal to artificial wombs to me: that requires other things besides merely a couple who ask a hospital to fertilize their egg with their sperm and place it in a device.

It may sound that way, but needing a woman to gestate the new human is a barrier to this activity. Celebrities and the uber-wealthy, in some cases, already essentially rent the reproductive systems of ostensibly willing women for this purpose. Having an artificial means do to this would remove that barrier and significantly expand the market, so one proceeds from the other.

I'm curious about the pay at Arizmendi but not that curious. The Oakland Arizmendi started taking tips towards the end of last year on a trial basis (and of course it stuck around), so I can't imagine the workers are getting paid too well. Then again they're pretty reasonably priced.

I'd say up until early/mid-2022 or so you could get by on a surprisingly small amount of money in San Francisco. Watching prices skyrocket over the past 18 months or so has been a wild ride.

> Well, Noma can charge customers up to $1500 per person and average worker is paid around $50/ hr.

What are you talking about? This was never the case, and when Rene had to pay market prices on labour he shut the place down.

People who dine at these places are all too self-infatuated to ever realize but you are litterly working for slave wages in those kitchens, the saying goes that 'you were paid in knowledge' in order to start your own concept if you survived (as very few would decide to stay as a Sous) those barren years of your career. Never would they offer $50/hr when most heavy season days are easily 12+ hours long.

Just the amount of money they paid to stages racked up 40k GBP/month [1].

Personally speaking, Noma had the cache because of Rene's affiliation to Feran Adria cohort and then Bourdain (who initially dismissed Adria's work as needless snobbery) to most outside of the culinary World, but after El Bulli closed I felt that an era had ended (culinary avant garde) that would never be truly replicated again as it existed mainly during the bubble era before 2008.

Noma tried to re-ignite it with it's creative work-shopping and focus on local-foraging twist but it had all the pitfalls El Bulli had with none of the ground-breaking innovation (I think David Muñoz did a better job of that with XO concepts and he never worked for Feran), including not paying it's workers.
