Can a stand-alone complex be an astroturf? I think so, if the social conditions that create the behavior stem from a single entity that stands to benefit.

The point of astroturfing (in comparison to the term it derives from, grassroots) is that it's not people coming together to support a policy, it's people with a vested interest in an entity taking cues from that entity to act in their interests in such a way that it appears as the former. The definition never shifted, the tactics just became less obvious. I would be less suspicious if more comments were complaining or giving measured thoughts, but they weren't.
Good point, and this is where the analogy breaks down a bit in my mind.

Or at least, this is where the complexity of comparison gets out of hand.

Even as a teenager, I knew that "it turns out all your emotional angst is vindicated by objective reality!" was a bullshit fantasy, but even knowing that, I needed it to sometimes be the answer.

The bus stops around here don't even have seats usually. However, they run every 15 minutes on weekdays, and every 30 minutes on weekends. So, you usually just walk or bike there a few minutes before the bus shows up. You maybe wait 3 minutes for the bus. Google Maps is awesome for knowing exactly when the bus will show up too.

I think "we need to feel useful" is absolutely a cultural thing, or at least how we define what "useful" is cultural.

Again, the monks believe they live rich lives without being "useful" by North American standards, that's certainly a cultural thing.

In North America our culture strongly believes a person's value is linked to their usefulness.

That's not up for debate really. I mean you can try to argue it's not, but honestly look around. Look at what value we place on people who are homeless, addicts, crippled, blind, deaf, or hell, even someone who is just unemployed.

We look down on them heavily. We judge them as having lower value because they are less useful.

Even look at the original comment and the disdain for "useless lumps"

This attitude doesn't exist everywhere. Don't try and say it's not cultural.

All-cause mortality is easier to measure, it also takes into account any deaths caused by the vaccine, and any deaths caused by non-malaria proximate causes that would nevertheless have been averted by the vaccine. Malaria is really bad for you even if you survive it, and probably makes you more vulnerable to dying of other things:

"For instance, clinical malaria is known to exhaust T cells, he says, and vaccination, by preventing infection, might therefore leave T cells readier to combat other pathogens. Such a general survival benefit has been documented for measles and tuberculosis vaccination. Other leading causes of death in the young children in these areas include pneumonia and diarrhea caused by pathogens including Streptococcus pneumoniae and rotavirus."

So, surviving malaria could very easily make it harder to survive your next encounter with rotavirus; vaccinating against malaria would then reduce deaths from rotavirus.

I wrote all of non.io with vanilla webcomponents - it's a full SPA built on them. A few learnings I'll share with going beyond just a simple nested blog component:

State management is still unanswered. You'll end up having to do a lot of this yourself if you aren't using a wrapper framework. One nice thing about React is state management is mostly solved and there are existing patterns for it. There's expectations of how it's done. With web components it's the wild west, and since you can't pass complex objects as attributes like you can in jsx, you end up doing a mix of attributes, events, and calling class functions directly.

Performance isn't as big of a win as I'd have hoped. I actually reverted some smaller atomic elements (i.e. icons) away from being web components as their instantiation cost wasn't worth it when I had hundreds of these elements on the page. Static elements, despite the readability they provide in code (i.e. <nonio-icon glyph="hamburger">), just aren't worth using web components for, which was fairly disappointing.

That said, there are things I REALLY enjoy about web components. As the author shared, it's incredibly easy to add a component to new pages, regardless of the framework being used. If something is built using web components, you can truly use it anywhere. This has been really nice when building supporting sites like api docs for nonio, where I can easily pick and choose what components I want despite having a different stack. Need to embed a <nonio-user> component? Import the js, add the html, you're golden.

Style encapsulation of shadowroots is quite nice. I really love not having to worry about breaking styling of any component as I work on a page. It means less guesses and checks of clobbering styling of other elements, and less of a need for a visual diff framework to ensure this hasn't happened.

The other aspect I enjoy is how slim the package sizes are. No libraries or anything extra to load, everything is baked in. Because you can pick and choose components you need so easily as well, it's incredibly easy to keep package sizes down.

If anyone is curious, source components for nonio are here: https://github.com/jjcm/nonio-frontend/tree/master/component...

I didn't start using Python 3 till 3.6 was released, so not until 2017. I've been writing Python since 1.5.2. I just didn't find Python 3 compelling/usable till 3.6. I recall f-strings being a really nice ergonomic improvement.

You seem to have only one counterexample: monks. Why would you assume that their highly unusual replacement of this by devotion to God is the less cultural option?

> In some cases I’d even suspect the incomprehension might go both ways.

Which is also true.

It was a thought experiment to highlight the fact that the lack of comprehension could also arise within the boundaries of a single language. In linguistics, the term for this specific phenomena is «the social register», and there are plenty of active and thriving language that employ the social register in the daily speech. Korean, for instance, is renowned for having a highly complex system of the social registers (effectively, parallel vocabularies) embedded in the spoken language. There are other languages as well.

> If the "educated" citizen is truly educated (and not just upper class), they ought to not only understand the lay person, but chose lay words in return.

And that is also true. Social registers have largely disappeared from mainland European languages, yet an English accent and the choice of the words of an English speaker can reveal sufficient details about their socio-economic background.

Same here with the city's local transport system. Ironically, they've pretty much also forced everyone without a car or a bicycle to use their mobile [surveillance] app, so you are pretty much [presumably unlawfully] forced to disclose your personal data in order to go to work. The only alternative is an old-fashioned credit card -style thing, but even that requires you disclosing your real identity for who knows what reason.

Ironically, when you visit Central Europe, for instance, you can use similar transport services just fine with cash. Furthermore, the city's mobile app hasn't really done anything for the tax payers; in fact, the fees have only increased. But I'm sure someone somewhere benefits from the personal data collected.

No they won't.

Because React is a view library, not a framework.

Yes, web components might outlive React.

But no, they will not outlive my JavaScript framework, because web components don't replace routing, data layer, testing, authz, server-side rendering, rehydration and whatever else frameworks like Angular/Ember/Next.js/etc do these days.

Rendering a view is a small part of what front-end frameworks do.

Honestly it sounds like this person was a success. Their company is growing and sounds profitable, their customers are happy, and they have a working product. They avoided the "megafunds" and the strings attached to them, and still managed to pay themselves a salary.

Speaking of Sentry's program... I recently received a notification that as an open source developer, I am eligible for a payout from this program. Excited, I logged in to eventually find out that the payout amounted to... $15.

Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the thought and effort that went into this, and I really hope more companies that use open source software follow suit, but I wish they would adjust their formula to not bother with the payout if it's less than a certain amount. It's just more hassle than it's worth, and the nice gesture can easily be mistaken for something else when it gets that low.
I think it's a little disingenuous to say that Linux "wins" the packet-management system, without mentioning the vast ocean of software available on the App Store on MacOS. The App Store is in many ways Apple's replacement for apt-get install - just click/search/install and you get access to a lot of programs/utilities/whatever.

No, you're not going to find the latest python distribution, but there's a lot of stuff on the App Store you're not going to find in apt-get as well...

I see there's also the usual "this is different, and not the way I'm used to". Well, yes, it's a different OS. Things will be different. It's a bit like going to the US and hearing someone talking (loudly, in public no less) about their fanny-pack. It's going to be a bit jarring at first...

I use Mac and Linux day-in, day-out. They're both excellent OS's. The reason I prefer OSX is the wealth and breadth of applications that integrate nicely into the ecosystem, and I find that hard to match under Linux, but Linux works better as a server-OS for me. Just choose the tool that matches how you work, for the task you have in mind, at least that's what I do.

Maybe that's your lot in life in rigid socialist countries (USSR) but it's by no means a given in the US. If my boss pisses me off than fuck him, I quit. Yet that doesn't happen, I work harder than anybody on my team, and I stay loyal and get what I want in life (and then some) because I negotiated and cooperated. As a young "human resource", when you're starting out, you've got jack and shit so it feels like you're 100% dominated and dependent on a world to provide and think for you. That's not the case. In China -- in the 1950's -- millions of farmers starved to death while providing food for millions of Chinese. It was nuts. And that happened because people stopped acting like humans and negotiating and cooperating. They devolved into top down linear hierarchies where somebody does that for you...Be grateful that's not the case and use what you have to your advantage and don't expect every manager to be either a psychotic or a saint. And if your city is bad than move. Adventure.

> Naturally, only source reading will answer whether the proc file you're interested in is vulnerable to this or not.

At the moment. To be sure, you also have to keep track of changes to that source code to look for regressions, and have a mechanism to update all your deployed code if there is a regression there.

It could require multiple attempts at reading, and still doesn’t ensure progress, but I think /proc would be a lot more reliable if file contents included a good checksum.

Two thumbs up for the MBA11. I use mine every day for everything non-programming. I liked it so much that I bought another one on eBay. I keep one plugged in, then swap out the other one when the battery goes low. I use Syncthing to synchronize useful files between the two. The full-size keyboard on them is wonderful. And the 2x USB-A ports, the mini-DP port, and the 3.5mm headphone jack. Awesome.

I tried running Linux/Ubutunu on them, but I gave up. The fan did not work out of the box, requiring a patch. Sleep on lid-closing was broken, requiring a hack. But the critical thing that made me give up on Linux was the broken trackpad. Palm rejection is terrible on Linux, and Linux has no support for pinch-zooming. I cannot live without pinch-zooming on a Mac, especially on an 11" screen.

When Apple stops supporting Big Sur (my MBA11 2013) and Catalina (my MBA11 2015), I'll try OpenCore Legacy Patcher. If that doesn't work, I'll probably just keep using the old MacOS versions.
I don't agree with the idea of describing some stuff as an 'immune system'.

Blood system, digestive system etc - yes, I can see those, or test for their physical existence. But the 'immune system' is just a concept, not actually a system of the same type as the others. It's a abuse of the term 'system' as it is typically used to describe a coherent and related set of anatomical 'bits'.

Make it a streak!

I am currently on a 400+ day runstreak where i run around 20 minutes/day (what my lunch-hour allows).

The psychology behind the streak is that it is somewhat tough the first month, but after that there simply isn't enough reason to stop.

When it comes to health, I am not sure. Possible that I sleep better, at least I get more tired in the evenings.

I think I may get a cold a bit more often. But as someone else noted, my muscles are less tense, and that is throughout the body, not legs in particular.
