I think it's born from contrast.

Sometimes you'll see people comment on something you are more informed on (usually things outside tech) where the takes are just smart-sounding extrapolation but you don't have the mental fortitude to start a huge discussion under a comment that already veered into off-topic because you know there's a good change it'll be understood as starting a culture war mudfest (while the original comment usually is not, because there's either agreement or passive benefit of the doubt).

They're just weird moments where you notice how unreflected a usually very reflected, educated and measured community can be, and if you're personally affected by that category misinformation that can be quite annoying.
> the prison of two ideas you presented.

No need to be so dramatic. Looks like it’s in fact 100% community based, just the community is separate (the ‘community notes community’). The higher barrier to entry, compared to Twitter’s mainstream audience, is its saving grace (at least for now, as more time passes this seems susceptible to good old astroturphing, gaming, and eventually good faith contributors rage-quitting).
It’s a flaw to label it plagiarism.
I believe that sex offender registration laws are problematic. But so is that Men’s Health article.

Yes, the article contains actual names. Thing is, none of those people are registered sex offenders:

1. Juan Matamoros is not a registered sex offender.

2. Julie Amero was a crazy case involving false testimony by a police officer. Her conviction was vacated on appeal, and she is not a registered sex offender. (That all happened long before the article was written.)

3. Wendy Whitaker is no longer a registered sex offender.

4. Janet Allison is no longer a registered sex offender.

5. Eric Williamson was acquitted. He was never a registered sex offender.

Men’s Health is not a reliable source for investigative reporting.
I bought a USB charger to plug into my cars cigarette lighter plug. It lit up the whole cabin with blue light at night. This blue cancer has existed since blue LEDs were invented and immediately became a chinesium electronics favourite. Very tiresome.
When I built out a van into an RV, I got to run a new electrical system for it — one based around the 12V automotive battery.

It turns out that there is a small industry out there that serves both RVs (and boats as well) that is 12V/DC based. Lights, pumps, refrigerators, fans, all running straight off a 12V power bank. "Cigarette lighter" outlets stand in for wall outlets for USB-style chargers, etc.

The 12V/DC battery system in the van is of course charged from both solar on the roof of the van and from the van's alternator (when the van battery is topped off and the van is under power of course).

I did add an inverter to supply 110V/AC for a pair of traditional electrical outlets I installed in the kitchen area of the van/RV. These are primarily used for plugging in wall-wart style chargers for the laptops.

(My Kill-A-Watt suggests that my rice cooker and even the electrical kettle would, just barely, function on the current provided by the inverter but RV-life tends toward minimalism so those extra appliances I've left behind.)

In any event, the whole experience did have me wondering if I could run a parallel 12V/DC electrical system in a new home and do away with a lot of the step-up/down of AC.

Definitely could do with some kind of modern outlet (USBC?) rather than the cigarette lighter outlets, ha ha.
> Also electric motors can run on DC efficiently (see electric cars).

It's quite likely that the motors on electric cars (and other efficient electric motors) are actually using an inverter to turn the DC into multi-phase AC and power an AC motor; this allows varying both the voltage and frequency of the AC fed into the motor.
> It's better to do nothing, than to deliver more shit.

How are you supposed to get better at delivering anything if you won't deliver until you have something "perfect"?

Part of the process of getting better is to be shit for a while, while you figuring things out.

Common saying when making music is that probably your first 100 songs will be absolutely trash, so better get those out of the door ASAP, so you can get to the good stuff :) Practice is the only way to get better, and your output will probably suck for a while, but we all sucked at one point so it's OK.
> The matter was seemingly systematically ignored for almost 30 years until she pissed off the wrong people

This seems to be standard in academia. The president of Stanford was found to be a fraud through work he'd done years or decades earlier, it only came to light after an undergraduate went on the attack. How did nobody notice beforehand? Turned out that the had noticed and it'd all been swept under the table.
and am not aware of that being a widely held position

I’m a (edit: popular) sci-fi addict. One of the prevalent tropes when the human races is battling another intelligence is that we’ll win because we have a soul/something extra/emotions/that special way of living life. When meeting a benevolent race, this is also often the reason why we’re spared … “they’re primitive but there’s something about them we haven’t encountered anywhere else”.

It may not be a widely held opinion but it sure gets suggested a lot.

> It's ironic that a cartoon that depicts musical improvisation is such a symbol of passively consumed culture.

I don't know that I would describe it as ironic. Throughout the ages, the entertainment that people enjoyed in their various cultures depicted all sorts of active things (including playing music, painting, killing the bad guy, etc.) while the audience sat back and enjoyed it passively (mostly; they laughed, got frightened, talked to each other, etc.).

Author here, thanks! The issue with sliders is that either you'll have to use a “latch takeover mode” or use motorized sliders if the parameters change in the software. With these, the LEDs and internal values just update when something changes, so like a motor fader but much less involved and cheaper. I do agree that sliders better control but these dials with LED indicators feel like a better “general purpose” controller to me.
I'm guessing it's referring to the "corporate open source" ecosystem where Google and similar companies make code public but everything else is closed. There is no collaboration, no public roadmaps, no influence given to the community and such. Not sure it's a vital distinction, for me both are as public/private as the other, but that's the only meaning I could try to extract from that...
As I said, there's a user unit (systemctl --user status podman.socket) that will run rootless just like using the podman CLI without elevation.

The second is the question of what that width limit should be.

> Clausewitz lived in a world where wars were events that were declared between states

Sort of. Born 1780, died 1831, the main wars in his life were the Napoleonic Wars.

But he would not have been unfamiliar with the Wars of Religion that convulsed Europe for 150 years following Luther's Protestant Reformation and culminated in the Peace of Westphalia. These we not regular state-on-state wars, but were a series of internationalized civil wars, caused by Protestant and Catholic low-level violence, coups, usurpations, overthrows, assassinations, and other civil conflicts. These low-level conflicts caused by non-state actors who were part of a transnational religious/ideological movement were not unlike the religious/ideological insurgencies we see today.

Clausewitz would also have seen wars of colonization/imperialism and decolonization in the New World. These were also wars of states against irregular non-state combatants. Especially after the Napoleonic Wars, when the Concert of Europe was keeping stability in Europe, the main form of warfare Clausewitz would have been observing would have been wars of colonization/decolonization.

While I broadly agree in principle, it appears in this particular case, all the explanations that start with Haskell syntax never gets the point across, while a single explanation in mainstream syntax did on the first attempt.

2 problems here: color and intensity.

1. Color. Blue is more rare in nature than other colors and it has a known association with daylight that is disturbing for sleep. Why not something more neutral like orange (not red, not green)?

2. Intensity. I think the manufacturers don't even think about this. For indoor use, full brightness makes no sese, but bad UX is the default choice for most, what TV manufacturer pays attention at their user experience with the standby led? I guess they never think about it.
Selection one jumps between the start and the end of the show repeatedly until you make it to the middle (selection two), after which point it'll move on to getting you to rank the best episodes, and then the worst episodes.

Definitely looking into seeing if I can come up with something better though! The problem is making sure that whatever algorithm is picked remains as close to O(n log n) as possible. Randomising options in a way that makes require a lot more comparisons would be far worse.

Nailed it. With a small caveat. It’s more a matter of executive functioning [1], less one of (strictly speaking) motivation (although that is how it often feels, so I understand why that’s used as a kind of shorthand). I can very easily feel and be motivated to accomplish some task, but still fail to make any progress (or even begin) until it’s deadline time. Then comes feelings of guilt and self-loathing because I just can’t seem to get my shit together (despite knowing that that’s a wildly wrong way of framing it).

It is horrible. But it’s manageable on most days (and yes, I’m medicated and have been since early adulthood). And honestly, having people in your life who understand your condition and can help pick you up sometimes [2], is a huge part of coping.

> That’s not what that word means.

Ah, but it is, regardless of your personal word gatekeeping!

> It’s not any improvement but actual perfection.

I'm not confident they preferred just "any improvement" over the ideal state, but rather they set out for the ideal, and what they achieved was just how far they got towards that ideal. They would have preferred the ideal, if it was possible, obviously. What's another word for ideal end state? Utopia.

In any case, your inability to cite an example of how _you_ criticizing another country has led to _you_ improving _yours_, seems to prove my point: it likely hasn't, because it usually doesn't. You hit the nail on the head: We The People don't run things in another country, we run them in ours, which is why criticizing other countries isn't very useful for improving ours.

Indeed, we've completely abandoned that claim, and are now reduced to a claim about utopian vs subutopian goals, entirely omitting anything about other countries. By doing so, we're now discussing how to improve ours. QED.

Is this why some people take a long time to submit a PR? During morning standups, they say the work is nearly done, but the PR never comes.
I just saw a simple differentiation between daydreaming (creative/analytic) and detailed planning and execution (productive).

Seen that way you'd need to take care to not fall back into that creative-only daydream mode when you actually need/want to be productive. So you would need to steadily remind you to actually continue with concrete execution planning instead of mentally optimizing models (which of course itself is - and feels - productive and maybe even more important/urgent, but not in the ouput-oriented way you'd like/need to achieve in that actual production task).

Not sure if it actually helps, but besides that perfectionism and "just do it" issue/solution pair it might be a useful perspective and concrete criterion to keep one focused on the task of finishing. I'll try to include it in the repertoire at least.
Even someone who has an online presence, I’ll use myself as an example, is so much more than the online presence represents.
Fear of losing control (and the thought of everything blowing up) => Perfectionism => „Let me be 1000% prepared before I start doing it“ => Prepares endlessly => external pressure rises above threshold => fear of consequences creates panick => starts doing the job => creates a reference experience („this was traumatic; next time I need to be prepared to avoid this kind of stress“) => until next „important“ task lands on desk.

I tend to think that mostly people with a lot of capacity for creating mental images (who can freak themselves out) are prone to procrastination.

Edit: Apparently it is more complex than that. I believe that self-worth also plays a role (fear of not delivering as good as one would like to), also ADHS (jumping to a thousand other things and losing focus). Generally fear plays a role. Meditation helps. Anything that helps to relax (running, breathing exercises).
Switching losses are less than ohmic losses. A few chips cost less than a lot of copper. The crossover point depends on the cable lengths, cable size, load, and voltage in question.

Let's do a quick example. 16 AWG carrying 12V. 16 AWG is 4 mOhm/ft. Let's say you have a 1200 W load (100 A, 0.12 ohm). Ohmic losses per foot of cable are 3%. So if you have a 15 foot cable it will use as much power as the load.
