Why? Software can be fun without being... this. Easter eggs and humor, that's good stuff but a distribution full of slurs like some 13yo edgelord wrote it? I just don't see the appeal. There's already a bunch of random distros which are basically just themed (see https://hannahmontana.sourceforge.net/ or https://biebian.sourceforge.net/) and joke distros like Suicide Linux or AmogOS
> Global population wasn't at the scale we have right now either.

Yes. Because technology like the automobile was not around to support the high-density living that we enjoy now.

> However, London had several million inhabitants in the late nineteenth century, before any cars were around.

Nowhere nearly as dense as we want to live now. And that wasn't thousands of years ago either.

My point is that, without the automobile, high density populations could not be supported.
This kind of thinking is how food deserts happen. I know because I live in one.
Yup, absolutely. I'd go so far as to say that in a window with clearly labeled OK/Cancel/Apply buttons, the instant change is a straight-up bug.
I mean... you don't HAVE to, you're right. However, hiring for most engineering roles is a filtering problem rather than a sourcing problem. I'd rather hire a Javascript engineer who'll at least _pretend_ to be excited about the job than hire a Javascript engineer who is lukewarm to cold right out of the gate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They do have a fairly high rate of both superficial and deep infection but advancements in coatings have improved the situation.

From what I remember, the major challenge was in the nerve-electrode connection, as they have a high failure rate and sending “sensation” signals back can easily cause nerve damage.

I'm not weighing in on animal testing in general, but that goes for testing animal-targeted medications too. Rabies shots, heart worm, etc - no animals gave their consent for testing those.

And in this situation, the effects of weightlessness are being tested on humans as well, at the same time. This isn't animals being a buffer for humans. Will testing the effects of weightlessness on humans lead to important medical knowledge for humans?
Primary sources.

The only references to Egypt are in relation to the language, not actual Egyptians: https://www.josephsmithpapers.org/search?query=egyptians&typ...

i.e. the plates were written in a language reformed from original Egyptian -- which makes sense, as ancient Hebrews would sometimes write in Egyptian characters when enscribing was difficult (metal plates!) because the Egyptian script was more concise. It became reformed after a thousand years on the other side of the world, far removed from original Egyptian land and culture. No Egyptians were ever involved with burying the plates. That would have been a native American, technically a Jew, whose ancestors came over from Jerusalem / ancient Israel.

As for magic plates, there's nothing in the historical record claiming that the plates themselves were magic: https://www.josephsmithpapers.org/search?query=magic&types=d...

I guess anyone could say anything they want about them, but those who actually saw and handled the plates never claimed they were "magic" as far as I can tell.

Then as for scam artist -- I suppose that is a matter of personal judgment, since no fair trial ever occurred or made a guilty verdict before he was murdered.

>3) Teaching. The military does things by the book. Many books. Thousands of pages. Most of which is bull shit. The military makes up for it through sheer determination.

>4) Racial integration. Hmmmm. The US military at least has a huge problem with racism, sexism, all kinds of isms.

There is something to be said for applying 3 to help fix 4 through, as you said, "sheer determination". Frank da Cruz, the creator of Columbia Kermit, tells in his autobiography online of how when he was in the Army in Germany in the 1960s he saw white sergeants lecturing soldiers in deep Southern accents on the evils of race prejudice.
marver https://github.com/sylv/marver

My NAS has a load of files dumped onto it over the years. Instead of spending a couple weekends sorting through it like a sane person, I'm making something to automatically index it using the metadata already there.

The goal for marver is to index my NAS and extract as much metadata as it can, then display that in a pretty UI that gives the user multiple ways to refine the metadata, search through their files and make the most of the piled up 1s and 0s they have rotting on a HDD somewhere.

So far I've mostly just been having fun making individual pieces and playing with machine learning (CLIP is really cool!). Right now I'm porting the machine learning code to rust one model at a time so I can bundle the whole app into a single compact docker container, and on the way I get to learn how the black boxes I'm using actually work.

I've tried similar self-hosted apps but they all either have mediocre UI, are painful to setup, or make me add metadata that is already there, just not easily parsed by machines. I want something that most people can deploy in a few minutes and that can get 95% of the way there on its own, while still letting the user refine the results from automated approaches when it inevitably falls flat on its face with edge cases.

It's still far from complete, but my NAS has annoyed me enough recently that I'm starting to focusing on a version that can be deployed, even if it's missing most of the features I want to add. I think once that happens it'll be easier to add features because I can immediately get value from them with, instead of having to slowly struggle towards a functional release.
Sounds like a good strategy would be to simply choose an airline and just buy the ticket.

>Public schools are supposed to already be doing it. Either in the form of escalating detentions/suspensions followed by expulsion, or by moving the most problematic kids into emotional/behavioral disability classrooms/schools, or in the worst cases sending the children to hospitals and group homes.

The problem is that public schools can't do those things, for various political and social reasons. So the charter school thing is a workaround.

>If public schools aren't doing this, there needs to be changes in administration,

Again, this is a political problem, since administrators are picked by the local government. There's only so much administrators can do anyway. Ultimately, the whole thing seems to be a political and a cultural problem.

I've recently realized that looking for the cheapest deal, unless short on cash, is a totally worthless endeavor because of the stress it adds to the whole process. In no particular order, various problems I've encountered with low-cost airlines:

- Bad, buggy order flows
- High fees for changing flights if you make a mistake
- Impossibility of getting a cash refund
- Lack of legroom
- Frequent delays
- Understaffed check-in desks
- Lack of human customer service
- Bad safety record

It's just. not. worth it.
Hey, I suggest you contact DataDog engineers on LinkedIn, express your interest and ask them if they would accept to take 15min to answer a list of questions you have (people have a higher chance to respond positively if they see you are prepared and need them for a specific purpose).
It's a basic evolutionary principle. When there's no selective pressure, species breed for superficial beauty at the expense of other traits. So to get rid of that problem, we need to allow users to apply selective pressure. But the question is how. Individually our voices are lost, and when you need to log into app X to use the service within, you get no choice of app Y with a different UI.
That and

It's not FCC licensed so illegal to sell. Not carrier approved either so they'll get pissy if they figure that out. And likely the hardware design itself is stolen.
Ha, you can say that in China too (about the US president lol).
When has the number of dependencies ever directly correlated with the feature set of an application? Have you ever looked at a node_modules folder? More over, how is that relevant in any way? This argument against dependencies has always felt like weird NIH-ism spawned out of the same crowd who still thinks that C is a good programming language. Have fun reinventing the wheel, but I’ll take my dependencies to go.

Additionally, you’re conflating an OIDC server with a full IdP, which Hydra explicitly is not. I don’t need a full identity provider with support for user profile pictures and a pretty UI if all I’m doing is controlling access to API endpoints via OAuth2 client credentials. I already have an identity provider, and I’m not foolish enough to think that I should host one myself.

You’re completely correct in that you are not the intended demographic if you don’t understand the utility of the Ory stack, and that’s okay.

> You can also look at European cities to see how last-mile deliveries to addresses that aren't on car-width roads are handled with cargo and motor bikes.

High-density living requires much more cargo space than motorbikes can handle.

Just moving into the area alone requires an automobile (you're not moving 3 beds, 5 couches and everything else on cargo bikes). hundreds of thousands of eggs, loaves of bread and litres of milk alone is delivered in a large high-density metro per day. you aren't going to fit 100k cargo bikes into the train station.

My point is not that we need to keep autos, my point is that the high-density living we have now would not have been possible if automobiles were not allowed on roads.

We're lucky that it was allowed, because it enabled a rate of progress that would never have been possible without it.
Mixed aged classrooms are kind of a pilar in Montessori like schools.

the idea is that, as you mature, it is also part of your development to teach and guide others, you have mastered something when you can teach it. Equally younger kids learn not only from the teacher but by example and mentoring from older students.

From my experience it really teaches older kids to act responsibly, forces more emotional maturity and just not be dicks to younger kids, and for younger kids it really accelerates their learning.

In the early days of Amazon Prime I ordered a grill and got it delivered literally the next day for cheaper than I could purchase it locally. Since then the delivery delays have extended and the knockoffs have increased dramatically and local retailers price match, so I no longer bother with Amazon. But for a short while, it was an amazing service.

I thought it interesting that the story broke on Reddit and was worthy to get the signal boosted by yc.

The employees being laid off are self-reporting as long-time employees that have worked their way up whatever ladder there was and have shown loyalty to the company.

Who will replace them? Chatter on the post say it may be PT workers with less experience in the company as well as in their niche.

That's unfortunate, but is a pattern we're seeing in many different companies as large and larger than REI. The outcome is not always great.
Then Apple would be the only company making a gun that warned anyone, and you're saying that would make them worse than all the companies making intentionally concealable guns.

Which is what happens with the other tracker devices: there is no notification for anyone with any device. Even on android where apple presumably doesn't have the ability to do whatever low power level stuff that's apparently required they have an app.

Other trackers don't have anything that warns people. Tile does do something at least: there's an anti-theft mode that requires a government id to use. Except that's still 100% dependent on the victim knowing that they're being stalked.
Reminds me of Mac-assed Mac apps[1]:

I wonder if there's a directory of such applications somewhere, actually.

"All we can do is tell people that NIST are the ones in the room
making the decisions, but if you don't believe us, there's no way
you could verify that without being inside NIST" says Moody.

There's our problem - right there!

If a body as important as NIST is not so utterly transparent that any
random interested person cannot comb through every meeting, memo, and
coffee break conversation then it needs disbanding and replacing with
something that properly serves the public.

We have bastardised technology to create a world of panopticonic
surveillance, and then misused it by scrutinising the private lives of
simple citizens.

This is arse-backwards. If monitoring and auditing technology has any
legitimate use the only people who should morally (though willingly)
give-up some of their privacy are those that serve in public, in our
parliaments, councils, congress, government agencies and standards
bodies.

> All we can do is tell people

No. You can prove it, and if you cannot, step aside for leadership
better suited to serving the public interest.
