> “why is the Django admin so ‘ugly’?”.

Not sure if English is your native language, but quotation marks usually land on the outside of any other punctuation. (Yes, it does look goofy.)

Now, the quote above is kind of special because you have a portion of it quoted within a statement. However, if you are paraphrasing all but the "ugly" part. In that case, I would drop the outer quotations marks.

> why is the Django admin so "ugly?"

Bring on the downvotes.
Acquittal rates rise in cases retried after hung juries, the prosecution has already revealed most of their evidence and strategy in the initial trial so the defense can more effectively defend against it in the case of a retrial. Some prosecutors just drop the case instead of retrying because of this (though for high profile cases like SBF they're more likely to continue pursuing it).
Yeah, that's terrible. Now imagine they checked the bank, found they had "enough" money, then denied them entry because they accidentally clicked the wrong button.

The policy is often bullshit, but following it and still being denied would be infuriating.
I think it "depends on the market".

My Tesla Model Y 2023 in the Netherlands complains a lot if I take my hands off the steering wheel. Heck, it even complains sometimes when my hands are in the steering wheel!

However, I rented a Model 3 in California through Hertz past month and it was much more lenient. I imagine I had to take my hands off for a period of time at least 5 times longer for it to start bothering, and didn't bother at all when I was driving with my hands steadily placed on the steering wheel.

In my opinion the one in California made long drives a bit safer as you don't have the pressure of putting the right pressure (pun intended) as much.

I found that notifying my providers of upcoming moves eliminates this. Call them, tell them what you're doing and ask their advice (b/c there may be something you overlooked or they may have special problems of their own).

Anyway, they're doing you a service and notifying them is good etiquette. And like good etiquette, it often greases the wheels of commerce.
I'm finding Sqlite DBs in S3 to be a great solution for ETL tasks.

It's a project where multiple other applications want to process data produced by my application. Instead of forcing them to make API calls to retrieve all of the data and all the network overhead and latency that entails, periodically write Sqlite DBs to S3 and post an event that the database is available. Can create one database per customer, or whatever your natural partition key is. Then it's just pull the database to local disk, pull all the data you need with SQL queries, and delete from the bucket when every client has had a chance to process it.

I believe it offers much better throughput than going through an API.
What were you expecting?

I personally can't see any kind of pattern anywhere at all, except dark chocolate is (logically) higher.

Also, one-time testing isn't going to reveal much. Since different manufacturers are constantly getting different batches of beans from different farms, wouldn't the heavy metal content in any chocolate bar be essentially random? E.g. Cadbury's might be low in April, high in May, and then medium in June.

SQLite is great, but the article misses the greatest weakness: It is almost entirely untyped. Feel free to specify fancy types for your columns. But SQLite doesn't care in the least. You can create an INTEGER column and write text to it. Or bytes. Or anything you'd like!

The other thing I miss often is better support for schema migrations. For a lot of things (like adding certain constraints after table creation) the "create new table, copy data over, delete old table" workaround is needed. However, it's only a minor annoyance, and if it allows the codebase to be more maintainable, that's OK with me (given the fantastic quality track record of SQLite).
But it’s NOT the same problem! Producing an item in 1/9 the time is very different from producing them at 9x the rate.

scaling production is generally not expected to do the former, only the latter.

This analogy is only suitable for one off goods and projects. Not economic production capacity.
> peg doesn't have two hydroxyl groups, it has thousands, because it's not a glycol, it's a polymer of ethylene glycol

PEG does have exactly two hydroxyl groups: one at each end of the polymer chain.

The rest are ether linkages, not hydroxyl. You're right that PEG is quite different from ethylene glycol monomer, but be careful accusing people of being ignorant when your own chemistry knowledge is not the best.
That is a Mac user thing anyway. For some reason Mac users seems to have a boner for a computer that can work everywhere, especially in place where it makes everything more complicated and painful no matter the battery life. Well at least that is what they tell you; in large part thanks to the marketing.
In practice I have rarely seen this sort of "advantage" really taken care of. For the most part people use their laptops for watching videos and doing simple office like task when they are on-the-go without a desk and power source.

It's quite funny because it was already one of the major arguments of Mac laptops back in the 2000s when I bought my first one.
I have done tech support for full Mac companies and countless of people with various jobs position and it simply doesn't reflect how the vast majority of people use their laptop.

For me, soda with hugh fructose corn syrup is way easier to drink a lot of than soda with sugar too.

In my mind, the industry trend of 'reduced fat' products that tend to have increased sugar, and the substitution of HFCS for sugar both contribute towards easier over consumption of calories.

The prevalence of sugar in modern diets along with how ludicrously industrialized food has become, particularly in America, is likely still the main cause for obesity rates.

People point out all these other secondary factors but we should really focus on the 80%, the big ticket item.

It's damn near impossible to find nutritiously acceptable breakfast, lunch and dinner choices near the office in big cities in America. From the American perspective, the choices are all fine because that's all people know. But relative to what you can find in Europe or even Latin America, the alternatives are downright appalling.

"Food manufacturing" should be a banned term.

> so they don't have the same set of rights that citizens do, nor should they

I take issue with the "nor should they" aspect of what you said. While I'm aware it's not a binding document, the United States [1] claims that these rights should be inalienable. This, to me, would imply that these rights should apply to everyone.

Obviously this gets into more nebulous territory if the person isn't within the states, but I still fundamentally think the right to free speech should apply.

It’s also really hard to change look and feel in a mature product. You have to have a good vision and then fight against a horde of people who have their own ideas, resist change, or will bike shed you into submission.

A lot of time when I hear people complain about an "inauthentic experience" in social media, what they really mean is "no one really cares what I say". Personally, I've never seen the appeal of Twitter. It's always been incredibly niche, particularly if you exclude all the people who simply use it for notifications ("I'm now live!").

Here's what I think (normal) people are starting to figure out: a lot of tech companies like to hide behind the Algorithm Defense, which is "We don't curate, suppress or promote anything, it's all The Algorithm [tm]". Google has effectively used this defense for search ranking for decades now.

Thing is, people still decide what goes into that algorithm. You see this in post-Elon Twitter with what I like to call the Blue Check Reply Guys, annoying people who couldn't build an organic audience so pay $8 to be at the top of every reply with their inane drivel. You see this on Tiktok where just mentioning "Palestine", let alone using a related tag, (allegedly) reduces your audience.

People who think they're having an authentic experience on social media I think are fooling themselves and probably living in a bubble. Like probably everyone, they want validation. Twitter in particular is the platform for snark and spouting popular opinions.
I know lots of kids that like dark chocolate. In the States where the standard is Hershey's milk chocolate, it is easy to like anything else.
My point is that your requirement can't be absolutely zero lead. If you have sensitive enough equipment, you're always going to detect some amount of common contaminants.

> let’s not put toxic chemicals in food

You make it sound like adding lead is an intentional act. Surely if it required no effort, food manufacturers would remove all of the lead. I don't know how much effort is required, but reports like this and testing by regulators is likely required to encourage them to put in more effort to get the lead down to a reasonable level.
Drilling into the linked sources a little bit, the baseline is 2005 emissions, which is roughly the peak of US CO₂-equivalent emissions. Right now, we're ~15% below 2005 emissions.
Yes and there's some areas near popular flight schools with significantly elevated lead levels because there are constantly planes flying overhead using leaded Avgas. It was a special carveout because recertifying every engine that was designed to use leaded gas is a pretty big lift and has significantly higher safety implications when the engine is in a plane instead of a car. It is only for some types of engines but those are more common on the older more affordable planes.
The issue is mostly sugars i'd guess. Not fats.
There's got to be some game theoretic threshold where a party switches from optimizing to solve a problem to just attacking their critics instead. Something about the incentives has tipped for ostensibly democratic governments where they are spending their efforts demolishing their nations and societies and attacking their critics.
This absolutist stance made sense when our equipment wasn’t sensitive enough to detect low levels reliably. A lot of reports would literally say “not detected” and it would be interpreted as “not present”

Modern equipment and techniques can reliably detect very low levels of lead. Nearly every chocolate product will contain some tiny level of lead.

There are 469 entries on this database: https://www.asyousow.org/environmental-health/toxic-enforcem...

Only a handful of them were so low that it’s listed as not detected. I’m sure if they were motivated, they could have used more sensitive equipment to quantify the actual level of lead in those products too.

That’s why it’s no longer useful to insist that there is no safe level of lead, because you’re going to be consuming tiny amounts of lead in anything you eat or drink. Past a small enough threshold the effects really are negligible.

The weird part to me is that the ad dollars have to lead to some sort of connection. The ad buyers need you to want something.

Sure, some of it is just scams and politics (yeah yeah the jokes write themselves). But at core there are people who have an actual thing to sell, and people who want to buy things. It may not make them happy in the end but that's up to each of us to figure out for ourselves, and the philosophers.

Somewhere under all that attention is a service or a product. In the end we've got to learn which ones matter to us. That's what the attention is supposed to be for.

Eh, If an average security programmer redneck like myself can abuse spectre and meltdown, I am pretty sure that some of the malware/ransomware can, they are not state sponsored but do have a financial incentive to do so.

Weirdly, prettiness is the bigger red flag for me wrt to error. I see that and feel like more attention was put into that than the underlying information.

Ugly, brutalistic, utilitarian stuff tends to imply a focus on correctness to me.

> Real culture is hard, not reproducible, not predictable, and initially unprofitable. So it is not valued by capitalism. It happens despite the economy, not because of it.

Capitalism is just people making agreements with each other in a legal framework. It 100% does not preclude charitable work, volunteerism, or art. It also doesn't value anything; it's a system where, as much as possible, people can do what they want and pay for things they deem to be valuable.

This is true. Pain creates wonderful art.
Does this apply to illegal aliens? If so, I don't really see a problem with this, esp. in the wake of the Israel/Gaza conflict. Look at the country of origin from recent southern border crossing. Its all over the place. Somehow people from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, are getting to Mexico, and crossing the border. If I was trying to migrate to a different country, as an American, I'd fully suspect that country to do everything in its power to vet me.

Food is part of the equation (marketing and availabity as well as ingredients)

There's a great video from Don Pettit on the ISS where he used candy corn to demonstrate the polar / nonpolar nature of soap. He coated one end of the candy corn with a hydrophobic substance and water as his lipid stand-in. Then he demonstrated how a couple of them would just float on the lipids, but a bunch of them would bind the lipids up and make them water soluble.

It was difficult to grok on the first couple watches because water was taking the role of lipids and air was taking the role of water, but a fascinating and visceral demonstration.

From [1], at least, it doesn't appear that he ever intended password-sharing among multiple households to be a thing?

Even in [0] (which I would consider a poor reference since it's about the crackdown and therefore starts out trying to prove a point...), I think there is a fairly reasonable interpretation of "Love is sharing a password" that doesn't include 3+ households sharing an account.

I'm not who you're replying to, but have experienced the same sadness when using meal kits. Why?

- This company and its supply chain went to the trouble of packaging a single serving of mayonnaise for me to personally discard as my token contribution to waste. Sure, an extra mayo packet won't make a difference, but simply not caring feels bad, you know?

- I have a jar of mayo in the fridge. I didn't even need this.

- Come to think of it, everything in this meal kit is wrapped in packaging that may well outlive me, depending on where it ends up. All for one meal's worth of food that I could have obtained more cheaply, less wastefully, and with more control over customization had I mustered the effort to plan ahead.

Because the author has offered it at a price because they have invested time, energy, expertise, and skill to create it. That's the value.

It would be akin to saying to a cabinet maker that they are not owed money for their cabinet because they didn't make the wood, the tree did, which completely trivializes the labor and craft involved.

In an ideal world, we wouldn't need to be paid. We'd provide what we could and get what we need in return, but we don't live in that world.

That is really interesting. Whish there was some better name for that, as I feel like it isn't that descriptive.

> So I think the real cause here is we've discovered novel ways for making huge amounts of calories both palatable and addictive in a way things have never been before.

I was just thinking about this earlier today.

I had a friend whom I would swear was actually, literally addicted to McDonald's burgers and fries. He wouldn't usually go seek out just any old burgers and fries, so I have a hard time saying he was addicted to them in general. I think that McDonald's (and to be clear, I am not blaming the Golden Arches here) had just some right taste that he could not help himself.

I don't like food particularly much at all, so I have never really felt like "oh that was so good I want more," but I can kind of see what you are saying here.
