It really is inspiring. Yeah I take the opposite side, ethically speaking. I think its cruel to not allow people to fix their bodies in the ways they want and in many cases need. Im in the max body-editing camp. Also this should resolve race issues once and for all which is fun to think about.

You're being obtuse. Not all rumors are deliberate lies. Those that are are evidence of something else. Remember that the only question was "are rumors worth thinking about", which includes meta-level concerns.

You can ask those questions, but you won't get the same answers.

It's not a question of "is the output always correct". Nothing is so binary in the real world. A well hand-maintained solution will trend further towards correctness as bugs are caught, reported, fixed, regression tested, etc.

Conversely, you could parse an IP address by rolling 4d256 and praying. It, too, will sometimes be correct and sometimes be incorrect. Does that make it an equally valid solution?
That makes sense on those tradeoffs, I'm just wondering how many people would use high speed rail by going to a station and waiting for it. Maybe if they could make the departure and arrival seamless. And also have frequent departure times it could work. I used to take the train a lot from New Jersey to NYC and the 1 hour gap made it kind of a PITA, 15 minute increments makes it so one doesn't have to plan so much around it, and it is thus more likely one can rely on it.
I agree in principle, but in my experience quality is not nearly prioritized highly enough. There is not enough understanding of quality attributes beyond the most visible ones like compute performance and stability (i.e. lack of bugs). And even for those I work on projects where people complain about lack of proper test coverage constantly, but it is impossible to dedicate time to improve that.
This kind of wisdom only comes from experience I think. Either that or higher order think. Like the article says, most of the time testing/tdd/qa is bolt on after-the-fact. Or a big push at the end with "QA Sprints" (are you sprinting or are you examining? what exactly is a QA sprint? I know what it is).

Once you get beyond "I wrote a function" and "I tested a function" and even still "I tested a function that was called by a function over the wire", you will come to a realization that no matter how edgy your edge cases, no matter how thorough your QA, there will always - ALWAYS be 0-day "undefined behavior" in certain configurations. On certain hardware. On certain kernels. It's an assurance that I guarantee that I'm almost positive it's bug free, since it passed tests, it passed human eyes, and it passed review - fingers crossed.
> It leads to over-abstracted, hard-to-change code that runs badly and is much harder to understand, generally speaking.

Abstractions, even bad abstractions, are far easier to deal with than unabstracted code. Abstractions are cheap and disposable. You're not married to them. They only seem hard to change if you're stuck on the mindset that to implement a change to a piece of code using an abstraction, that you have to change that abstraction, which is incorrect. If an abstraction no longer fits, you should more often than not stop using it in that part of the code rather than altering the abstraction to fit the new use case. They are also easier to understand by virtue of communicating their intent, unlike unabstracted code. It takes a lot of effort, on the other hand, to read through and understand a chunk of unabstracted code, and even more to change it or write a slightly differing variant of it for a new use case, and even more to extract any kind of abstraction from a bloated unabstracted mess. With this being the case, it always makes sense to eagerly abstract if you can, even if your abstractions are bad, because the result will still be more maintainable than unabstracted code.

Me too, Manchester uni was good.

I have written non-trivial systems deployed in 20 different sites that have never had a bug ever.

My best are usually second systems, focus on simplicity, standardisation and resist scope creep.

100% coverage with unit tests.
100% coverage with integration tests.

I've written a many things with zero bugs after delivery.

(and other that were never ending quality nightmares)

If I am under pressure to deliver I get strict with TDD, since no time for bug fixing.
So in this case we would be eliminating the power of the individual to undertake large, risky undertakings that would provide a net benefit to society.

Now you'd have to cobble together a group of investors, but if you can't find people who don't understand your vision, you're out of luck.

Or you could go to a bank, so now the banks have more power, but they probably won't invest in your risky idea anyway.

Okay so I guess, now it's up to the government to undertake this large risky project? Great.

I don't know, I like the fact that motivated individuals can take a large amount of their own capital and take on large projects.
EVs also eliminate carbon monoxide deaths while cars are on the road in a snowstorm.

> At least six people have died from carbon monoxide poisoning in the wake of a massive blizzard that pounded the Eastern U.S. The deaths have many fire departments -- including some in the D.C. area --reminding residents to clear their home and car exhausts of snow.

> Many of the deaths happened as the victims worked to clear snow from a vehicle.

> In New Jersey, 23-year-old Sashalynn Rosa, of Passaic, and her 1-year-old son, Messiah Bonilla, died of carbon monoxide poisoning while sitting in a running car that had its tailpipe covered in snow. Rosa's 3-year-old daughter, Saniyah Bonilla, was hospitalized in critical condition and died on Jan. 27. The father of the children was just steps away shoveling snow from around the car.

> Angel Ginel of New York died in a similar way Monday afternoon. Police say Ginel was found inside his running, plowed-in car in Brooklyn. His relatives believe he got inside the car to warm up Sunday, and the car got buried.

> The Fairfax County Fire Department says a car's exhaust pipe should be cleared before starting the vehicle. And while sitting inside to stay warm is tempting, you should not sit in a running car with the windows closed.

A more interesting question is if an alien race can exist with ratios that differ considerably from the ones on earth.

Outside of carbon chemistry your ability to create replicable life plummets. Biologists may speculate if non carbon life is possible, but there's no doubt it would be limited. Arsenic or silicon just don't have the chemical complexity carbon does.

As for super heavy elements - the elements alien races would have access to wouldn't be that different from ours. Heavy nuclei are terribly radioactive and thus short lived. The article points our elements heavier than 260 are too short lived, but on astronomical (and biological) scales anything past 238 (ie Uranium) is short lived.

Past Uranium (which we have on Earth naturally), only Pu-244 is relatively long lived. Its half life is 81 million years vs. U-238 at 2 billion years. 81 million sounds like a long time, but the alien race has to evolve intelligence. We've been evolving for about 4 billion years, or 40 halvings of Pu-244 initial (anyway low) concentration. 2^-40 is a small number. By comparison U-238 has halved only twice on Earth since evolution started.

To illustrate, if the entire Sun were made of Pu-244 and the entirety of the remaining Pu-244 were put on Earth after 4 billion years, the concentration would be less than 1 part per million per mass.
I use GrapheneOS without a Google account and it's great.
I would be willing to go with this IFF the cost to activate the app were disclosed up front. But in my experience, it never is. (On Google's store you'll typically see some fine print saying "in-app purchases from $0.50 to $20.00", which tells me very little.)

The intention seems to be to get me hooked before I can invoke any judgment calls. I've had similar experiences with car salesman.

The bottom line is that I'm not willing to begin the experience/transaction without a clear idea of what the final outcome might be.
Yes, it can be “taken away from one”. Frankly, quite forcibly. It’s a rather simple concept to understand.
Might be more behind this. Don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, but San Jose, years ago, dug up a downtown neighborhood of small businesses, left it dug up for two years. They all folded.

Suddenly the project ended, the streets got rebuilt. Then a developer swooped in and gentrified the neighborhood.
You might be correct today but that’s a pretty sad state of affairs, don’t you think we can do better? Most other engineering domains can deliver projects without bugs, with various definitions of “bug” of course

Yeah, even the most poorly insulated attached garage is not going to be particularly horrible. Mine isn't great and has never got below 37, even when it's been single digits outside.

Fire departments use a system called Plymovent - magnetic rings around the engine exhaust, hooked to a big hose and fan to exhaust emissions outside of the apparatus bay, so rig checks, testing, maintenance can be conducted indoors with engines running. The hoses are also on runner rails so that they can move with the engine, and magnetically disconnect when the engine is on its way out of the bay.

https://eandt.theiet.org/2018/05/24/top-10-invasive-species-...

My favorite move, in God's** (actual) 4D chess game (playing off our ... tendencies, say), is when we try to introduce a species to get some benefit / value from it ...

https://fyi.extension.wisc.edu/spongymothinwisconsin/history...

... then, think - "gee, that worked so well, let's introduce a different species to try and undo the damage!" ...

https://www.science.org/content/article/biological-control-b...

There are plenty of further examples where attempts to remove invasive species have backfired in other ways as well...

But, ya gotta admire that indefatigable optimism!

To be fair and try for a degree of accuracy, we have obviously benefited, in the short term, greatly from technology, engineering, science, etc. ... But, there are certain areas where we do have an abysmal track record. Just about anything abstractly related to the so-called "gray goo" scenario being a prime example. Just like that recursive function you're SURE is limited no matter preconditions ... that takes down one of the main university computer systems the first time it's run... (back in the ol' days when there were fewer 'protectives' [codpieces being out of style even at that time ;)])

Beyond that, if you have conduit running to different rooms, you can now treat those as junction boxes instead of termination points. You can run the cable to the box easily, and then have ten feet of the old fashioned painful cable pull from the junction box to the point on the wall/ceiling you actually want to have a socket.

Perfect, good, etc.

I agree with you on that one. IMHO it's because of that difficulty to know when to optimize for quality, but also because of sheer incompetence.

Let’s go multimodal
The first half is pure cherry picked nonsense. Sure the facts are true, but they completely forgot about magnitude of those effects. Cold are is denser, but not that much. ICEs may lose a little range, but not as much as a BEV will lose running those heaters needed to make it comfortable - ICEs have plenty of waste heat to keep you warm. Yes the BEV warms you faster, which is nice, but this shouldn't be mentioned in the range section as it just makes you think that BEVs somehow are better in cold because of how they warm the car. The better for a BEV is true for human comfort but worse for range.
Sounds like you have done this before... quick question: is it normal to run multiple conduits carrying the same type of cable parallel to each other? For instance, multiple conduits running up from the first floor to the attic where all the final runs are done.

It seems like 2" smurf tubes are relatively rare (I can find them but seems like they aren't interested in selling them in 100 foot rolls) so 1" are more common. According to conduit guidelines, 1" conduit for 40% Cat6 is a measly 6 cables while 2" is 22. So even at 2", I would still need 2 - 3 two-inch conduit runs.

Is this off-base or do people generally hunt down 2"+ conduit?
In these parts, if you're fortunate enough to have a heated garage, you're keeping it just above freezing to keep the costs down. Still quite a difference between that and how warm you want your car to be.

That's only true up to a point. There are some quality assurance and control activities that are essentially "free" in that they actually allow for shipping faster by preventing rework. But that requires a high level of team maturity and process discipline, so some teams are simply incapable of doing it. And even in ideal circumstances it's impossible to ship defect free software (plus the endless discussions over whether particular issues are bugs or enhancement requests).
I think we're saying the same thing? That was my point. You're never going to achieve zero bugs no matter how much time you give yourself. Focus on getting the critical path right and creating a good experience, and then get it to customers for feedback on where to go next.

[The above does not necessarily apply in highly regulated industries or where lives are on the line]
Maybe the decline in customers is self-inflicted: I wouldn't shop in a shop that posted signs blaming bike lanes for their problems.

Are you treating the apnea? How did you start to identify the other triggers and level of exercise you can tolerate?

I also have mild sleep apnea and am not overweight. Although weight gain can directly cause apnea, it isn't the only cause.

Treating the apnea improved my quality of life an immeasurable amount. I started actually being able to have a life rather than a series of responsibilities to get through between naps. I still struggle with energy levels though.

I had symptoms for 10-15 years before getting diagnosed. I've heard doctors have become a lot more diligent about identifying it over the past 5 years or so.

I think something like 80% of people with it were undiagnosed as of 2016ish (as per a study done by surgeons).
These lanes are confusing and dangerous in my experience. I choose to bike on folsom instead now. We have great protected bike lanes elsewhere in the city (valencia between market and 15th, folsom north of division) and I don't understand why we couldn't just go with that instead of experimenting on the valencia corridor.

To be clear for anyone not familiar: Valencia already had bike lanes, and that's not the problem. The problem is that the new design is more fragile to bad driver behavior, since drivers run over the flex posts to pass stopped vehicles, and make the whole corridor a mess for everyone.

My personal rule of thumb is 3-ish. More than that, and I switch from positional to named args. I appreciate how Python can let you insist on named-only args for when you want to remove the temptation to use a long list of positional args.
> According to Wikipedia, sickle cell disease is a genetic disease meaning that it is caused by mistakes in DNA. If parents did DNA testing and were warned that they are carriers of invalid DNA and decided not to have children, maybe there would be no need to do costly research and expensive treatment.

The sickle cell allele is also a malaria resistance allele. Heterozygous = malaria resistance. Homozygous = sickle cell disease.

Eugenics through breeding control in general is quite problematic, but deliberately breeding out disease resistance just seems like a particularly bad idea even beyond the general problems with eugenics.

Really interesting. I had a few posts and comments get marked as [dead] and was curious about shadow banning. Nice to see it all documented here.
For another counterpoint, I'm certainly angry about things. You are welcome to count me as angry. But do NOT count me as angry because of inequality. Inequality is a distraction and cause celebre useful to distract people. Rather it's the gross inefficiency and ludicrous aims of the current system (= two parties and press and government) which make me angry. And that has nothing to do with inequalities.
This is the first time I've seen it explained like this, and having struggled with these concepts in the past, I found your explanation really easy to understand. Thanks!
I don't think this is strictly needed. An English dictionary may seem pointless because it defines every word using only other English words. But the meaning is contained in the _relationship_ between the words.

I'm sure you've seen the example of word vectors that captures some of this meaning. king - man + woman = queen

In Spanish,
rey - hombre + mujer = reina

The _relationship_ between "king" and "queen" in English may look close enough to the _relationship_ between "rey" and "reina" in Spanish, allowing you to bridge the gap between the two languages, even if they are entirely disconnected and you've never seen a direct translation between them.
I had glanced at nunshell every now and then since it was initially announced, but it wasn't until a month or two before that I finally really "got" the point of it. I was trying to write a script to look through all of the files in a directory matching a certain pattern and pruning them to get rid of ones with modified timestamps within 10 minutes of each other. I remembered that nushell was supposed to be good for things like this, and after playing around with it for a minute, it finally "clicked" and now I'm hooked. Even when dealing with unstructured data, there's a lot of power in being able to convert it even into something as a list of records (sort of like structs) and process it from there.

I think the question is about the paywall indicator, not about Kagi search in general.

I tried some searches in three different languages, and mostly Kagi didn't identify non-english paid webpages. It could only identify one (which wasn't paywalled at all).
I assume GP is assuming it would be hanging freely in (in-wall) conduit, which is pretty uncontroversially the best way to do it, just very hard to retrofit.

And if you are retrofitting a cable run, yeah it probably will be 'just hanging freely behind the walls'.
> Would you be willing to articulate why wealth inequality is bad for society? I am fairly certain that wealth inequality globally is higher than it was in 2000. At the same time, well the poorest globally are doing much much better on average.

Wealth inequality is an issue largely borne out within a particular society.

In the UK we've seen rising poverty and food insecurity at the same time as a rapid increase in the wealth of those at the top. That global poverty has improved means little to someone who is now struggling to put food on their table, or stay on top of their mortgage.

> In my mindset as long as the median is improving and the poorest are improving, the ratio of rich to poor isn't important and isn't clearing a bad thing if the inequality is increasing. You seem to think otherwise, why?

Wealth buys power. Allowing it to concentrate into a small group of people leads to issues.

Social cohesion seems to suffer as inequality rises.
