> Rooftop, parking lot, etc. solar makes much better sense by utilizing already disturbed land

Citizens For Responsible Solar is a front used by fossil fuel companies to block solar farms and they object to every single solar farm claiming it should be on the roof. They object to rooftop solar and claim it should be on another roof, etc.

Land use by solar is not a primary concern, there is more land wasted on gold courses than would be required to power the country.
What's so bad about musl? Everything works fine for me on Alpine.

> Their metrics prove to them that getting me hooked on new shows will increase my engagement and increase the amount of time I spend in their app. Guess what? As a user, those are not my goals!

But here's what I find odd about Netflix. Up until extremely recently—and even now for most customers—Netflix did not and does not display ads. Netflix makes money from subscription fees, which means they get the same amount of money whether you spend zero, 10, 50, or 100 hours per month in their app, as long as you keep paying for your subscription.

Netflix has apparently concluded that users who spend more time in their app are more likely to remain subscribed. I wonder why that is, or if Netflix is even correct. I would think that for most users, the quality of their time matters more than the quantity.

They have whole articles on how the Bowl Cut and the OK symbol are hate symbols. For the OK symbol they have nested "disclaimers" (why these are not prominent right from the get-go is beyond me, however).

The modem (or any other device) has nothing to say when being suspended by the hub - it can't even tell whether it's being suspended selectively or whether it's the whole bus (or any upstream hub) that got suspended. You can suspend every USB device, you have full control over that. With some devices it won't give you any power savings, some won't resume correctly, some will instantly reset and some won't be able to ask the host to be resumed (initiate remote wakeup), but you can send any device to suspend by asking the hub to do so (and telling it to enable or disable remote wakeup capability as desired beforehand) and it will work. You can also ask the hub to disable the port's data connection (PORT_ENABLE) independently of controlling its power (PORT_POWER), and as opposed to power control it's actually mandated by the spec since USB 1.0 and supported universally.

uhubctl doesn't concern itself with all those features, but technically there's nothing preventing it from implementing them alongside power control.

I have spent more time reading USB specs and debugging USB connection troubles than I wish I had to.

I would stand in his way with my own fists.

You say I have privilege which I suppose I do. I have it because I worked on myself to get them and stood up for myself when I needed to. I have no college degree. I grew up poor. I think perhaps one of the greatest injustices you can do to someone is tell them they are stuck with no recourse and have no leverage they can exercise. I think that's a lie that imprisons people in circumstances they don't need to be stuck in.

The problem is not metrics driven design or marginal users. It's that OKCupid wasn't successful, and that it probably can't be. So far, there isn't a tool that has successfully matched up looking term romantic partners with a high degree of success. That work has to come from people, and they don't get as much leverage from tools as they hoped. That's why the successful apps make it a numbers game and leave it to people to solve the actual problem of matchmaking.
I'm most curious about range anxiety, because I really feel like we're at the point where the vast majority of people's driving habits will fall into one of three categories:

1. Your driving habits make most/all EVs so clearly nonviable that you would never even consider an EV. If you're driving 400 miles a day in freezing temperatures far from any charging infrastructure, of course you're not getting an EV any time soon.
2. You don't drive that much every day, but you can't regularly charge at home or work, so you're not going to consider an EV.
3. Your driving habits are much closer to the average person, and with an EV you'd just charge at home or work a few times per week and never think about range.

The situations where you'd ever experience range anxiety seem pretty narrow to me. It would basically only happen if you were in category 3 but needed to do a rare long road trip in an area without charging infrastructure.
Have you replaced your DB because of the Repository Pattern?
All true. But it isn't the Marginal User (Marl) that's the issue.

It's the dev managers that pursue him. In the quest for quarterly metrics.

Building a use base of interested committed users is not done that way. It's done by providing value, having short training videos, getting word-of-mouth referrals, continuing to provide value month after month.

Ok that isn't maybe as profitable. In a big company the pressure for profitable is perhaps even more grinding and inhumane than in a smaller company. At some point your entire product gets reduced to a number at some executive level, and your fate is inevitably sealed by metrics.

In a small company, a startup even, management is 1 level deep or shallower and you can have goal, ambitions, a vision of your product and your user that exceeds "show them another ad". And you can communicate that to whomever is budgeting your group.
I know this is not how proofs work, but is is quite intuitive. What is the point we stop proving things that look obvious and axiomatic?

> Mobile game display ads seem like a very, very low value business to be in

Might be much less prestigious than selling games that aren't predatory, but Unity does in fact make a lot more money from selling ads in mobile games than licensing and by a very wide margin.

The sad truth is that for every "real gamer", there are 10+ regular mom and pop playing candy crush and buying boosts every other day.

I think this is also a root of science denialism (e.g. anti-vaxxers). I have some antivax family, and the root of their opinion is that the scientists changed their advice as the pandemic developed!

My theory is that in primary and high schools, science is taught as a series of immutable "facts". You get tested on remembering them, and when you do an "experiment" you get marked down if your reading of the litmus paper isn't 4. No sense of doubt, and no exposure to the epistemic boundaries to controleld trials, measurements, etc.

If your takeaway is that scientists uncover and explain immutable facts, hearing them say one thing in January and another in June can in fact shake your beliefs in these scientists.
Failure doesn't work that way.

It's not the case that there's a constant 1/5 probability of failure each year. Many failure modes are based on cumulative stress/degradation; so the probability of failure can go up over time.

Some failure modes go down over time; maybe there's some manufacturing defect, and those that have the defect fail early, while those that survive past the first year will have lower chances of failure early on.

But in this kind of environment, the cumulative stresses are much more likely than the early failures.

That depends entirely on the details of how it is said.

If it is said in a way clearly making it obvious that not just the words, but the intent is bad, and to instead do the other thing? Seems likely to not be an issue.

If it is saying the intent is fine, just use the other words? Then yeah.

If it gets to the press, chances are it’s being spun the opposite way that context would show it was being used, because that’s how it usually works to get clicks.
Yea, I can't imagine getting all the safety systems working again in a modern car after a crash.

In older cars it was easy to chop them in two and weld them together however you wanted. But these days with the concepts where the engine compartment and trunk are crush zones and the passenger compartment is rigid so they occupants don't get crushed, there is a ton of non visible damage in even minor impacts.

In order to get a salvage title the car needs to be totaled.

For a little while. The problem is that Unity is a public company, merged with a malware company, and (currently) headed by somebody with no understanding of their own customers. But nobody looking to make games right now is going to start using Unity. Many indie developers are going to transition off, and the major players who still use it are likely going to find that Unity is going to start squeezing them to keep any semblance of profitability. Maybe big games like Genshin/Cities Skylines/Pokemon Go stick with it, but Unity doesn't survive that transition.
Typescript, both front and back end with SvelteKit. There are silly foot guns in JavaScript and I wish the language was designed better, but aside from that there’s huge benefit to doing everything in one language and not having to context switch.

No one is talking about why we want to eat so goddamn much. There is a brain issue at play here that is not discussed. I have been active my whole adult life and have always been either overweight or doing some kind of diet. Every time I lost weight it came back later on and yeah I am to blame but how can anyone just spend their whole existence fighting their brain.

I decided to try one of these famous GLP-1 agonists and oh boy does that change everything. My brain just decided to shut up all the food thoughts. Just gone. There is something in our current diet/environment screwing up our inner desire for food and that is reflected in our behaviour. Our conscious thoughts aren’t enough to control that behaviour fully.

I expect a shift in the future on how obesity is portrayed. It will go the same way as depression where we slowly realized “cheer up buddy” is not a valid treatment.
