MIT license? If by chance this evolves into something big, it will be eaten alive by commercial interests. Look at the conflict between Linux devs and nVidia for example. Look at the IBM/RedHat stuff trying to circumvent the spirit of the GPL, if maybe not the text of it.

If it becomes a thing, the most active developers will be paid by corporations and they will not be sharing code with you when it suits them - which can be at the drop of a hat.

I'd recommend changing to GPLv3 while your number of contributors is low enough to do it. Otherwise you're just doing free work for your future masters.
I wonder if this will get better as the book market seems to get increasingly fragmented (Booktok, Bookshop.org, the resurgence of bookstores in the U.S. and UK, etc.) and as there is more competition in other mediums like with Spotify now competing with Audible. But it does seem like writing is an extremely hits based business -- some books/authors that publishers sign are absolute home runs and make 99% of the money out of any given cohort of books and the rest likely don't return the cost of the advance and investment from the publisher's side of things. Maybe technology will also increase the potential for author earnings here, if today you have to hire someone to record an audiobook or do a translation, maybe that gets automated away in a few years and you can more easily publish in every format and language potentially reaching a larger audience.
...and the other half lied or are in denial.
Thank you for your work as an ecologist!

I was really struck on a recent trip to Minnesota. Flew into the MSP airport, got the rental car and drove out to a smaller city. At first, we thought 'what nice countryside'. Then as the drive went on for hundreds of miles of nothing but plowed fields, with hardly even a shrub-row between fields, it became nightmare-ish — literally wondering "Where could any creature live in this wasteland?", and nevermind the pesticides & herbicides. And then considering that such habitat destruction visible from an airliner can often extend horizon-to-horizon from 36,000 ft altitude, it is horrifying.

Industrial farming may be "efficient" by some parameters, but it really is destructive, and also evidently responsible for the obesity epidemic.

Something's gotta give.
Being a standard deviation away is not being in the mid point of the Bell curve.
As a concrete example, it sometimes happens that I'm working on existing code trying to make it faster, because it just isn't up to it's task at the moment. Looking over the code, I can see that it has some code that does a LOT of lookups to see if something is in a collection. And I can see that the collection is using a linked list; which is horrible for lookups. This is something I can notice just browsing through the code because I _already_ know the implementation (and performance) details of a linked list.

At this point, I can take a look at the rest of the code and see if there's some specific reason a linked list was chosen, or if it was just that the developer didn't put much thought into it. If there is a reason (order matters, etc), I can consider what other structures might _also_ suit that need, but also give faster lookups. And, because I know of a variety of data structures, how they're implemented, and what their characteristics are; coming up with some initial choices (or starting points) happens fairly rapidly.

So yes, I could get all this done without knowing all that information. But it happens a LOT faster because I know it. I notice the issue faster. I have some starting points for options faster. Etc.

Not having that information would not prevent me from doing my job. But having that information makes me _better_ at my job. Faster, more efficient, safer, etc.

If you're going to be a Linux gamer, you have to be a fan of the game of Linux. Most games are going to need some tweaking or a weird package in order to work. Arch makes a lot of sense for that crowd.
> For Windows developers, it’s the rise of WSL. Windows was always missing a great UNIX shell and now WSL provides it in spades.

Before WSL, Virtual Box and VMWare Workstation, and SUA to a lesser extent, were already making it.

WSL makes it one less thing to install and configure.

What makes RISC-V special here? You speak as if RISC-V has some fundamental differences that invalidates old limitations that keep us trapped. Why is this the case? I'm very curious, and don't understand.

Also, why does preprocessing matter so much?
I didn't mean to make out it was! But what democracy means seems to vary place by place so I figured it was helpful to at least make an explicit assumption.

I'm not trying to sell anyone on a "everything is rosy" outlook, but I think its important to question whether the problem is democracy itself. I.e.:

- Do you think democracy is bad because it's not representative enough? That sounds like you think the problem is that we need our systems to be more democratic?

- Do you think democracy is bad because democratic countries have huge political problems? What makes you assume democracy is the cause of those problems? Most democratic countries are also capitalist, religous, have laws, etc. Are those things bad too?

Don't get me wrong, its important to point out how our systems aren't working for us. But taking a blanket "democracy is bad" attitude is probably going to lead to the things your disenfranchised with becoming much much worse.

Oh, they care. In my experience, Windows users are non-stop complaining about all the bullshit they are submitted to.

They just don't care to fix it.
Chromebooks are quite amazing, sadly not native command line, not native IDEs (afaik) and usually very low on ram.

Can you go into this? Sort of sounds like more money chasing a static supply, which is a situation where I wouldn't expect a decrease.

> The real danger I think is in the decrease of insect population.

That is certainly one of the most important issues. However, habitat loss is even more critical (not only but also because it also decreases insect numbers).

> Is there a study about the effects of decreased pollination?

Pollination and other ecosystem services have been heavily studied in the last decade. Putting precise numbers on it is tricky though, because there are so many context-specific factors that play a role. However, this is one important global study that shows a clear effect of pollination on yield: https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aax0121

Not to deny some of those are useful suggestions, but they don't square with the core OpenBSD philosophy. And despite not having these items, they are more secure than products who use them.
> If you were always moving out of the way when you were smaller, because you had to, is it so noble? If it isn’t truly a choice to?

I get what you're saying, but the subtext is the weak are less noble because they can be pushed around. Feels like punching down.

Much better framing.
Can we switch social media off for 8 hours per day, 9-5pm maybe. I think it would make everyone happier and I bet nobody would miss it.
I just randomly picked a chapter discussing a topic I'm somewhat familiar with (the one on TLS handshakes), and I'm not impressed with what I'm seeing.

I don't think anybody that doesn't already know the basics of TLS would be able to make sense of it as presented there: There's an implicit assumption that an RSA public key is used for key establishment that's never mentioned, and the diagram (which is sloppily drawn too) doesn't help things either.

In the end, "a" secret key is used to encrypt something – but the core of TLS key establishment (again, only the RSA variants) is how that key is agreed upon using only the server's public key. That's arguably the entire algorithm here (the rest is protocol negotiation)!
Baulders Gate 3 has quite great Apple Silicon & MacOS support. I know of a few normally-non-gamers who loaded that up on their Mac over the past couple months.
Sure, but when you are starting out: The olympic bar - 20 kg, maybe your 5RM and if you have never squatted before and hit your 5 RM on your first day of working out, the probability of injury is more than it isn't.

And what you said is also right; from the page:

> 5×5 means you do five sets of five reps with the same weight. Squat 20kg five times, rack the weight, and rest 90 seconds. Then Squat 20kg for five reps again. Repeat until you’ve done five sets of five (5×5). Then move to the next exercise.

There's no way you can keep the weight same across 5 sets unless, according to the example, 20 kg is your 10RM+ weight. That too with 90 seconds rest. Squats and Deadlifts will gas you out completely. It'll take you 90 seconds to just catch up with your breath. And some more for the actual muscle (and synergists) to recover.
I think the "good enough" mindset should always be challenged by a voice pushing for perfection, and solutions should try to land somewhere in between the two extremes.
Windows 11 broke basic task bar customization - how do you so completely ignore your users?

Pinning my taskbar to the side of my monitor is the hill I'll die on.
> The problem is that we’re going to have people litigating court cases and stupid bureaucratic nonsense within companies by lobbing nonsense that nobody has read at each other.

At an abstract level, this sounds like a precursor to war. Everyone has competing interests and the peaceful way to resolve them is communication. When that stops force starts.

Maybe the out is that there is some automated sense of listening and agreement.
I don't think it's even a hobby, it'd be like you being forced (by an impending lawsuit and discovery proceedings) to spend 20% of your money buying a junker car you don't particularly like, because you couldn't resist keeping your mouth shut.

Right, there are places where Free Market solutions worked, and equally we shouldn't go "That's bad, get rid of the Free Market". But I'm highlighting the Tory ideology in this case because (a) their ideology makes it impossible to just fix this and (b) they've had a long time in power to do so if they were able and prove me wrong.

The use of Contracts for Difference to fund renewable power generation is an example where ideology and practicality aligned. This is a Free Market solution which nicely matches the problem.

It seems to me that your examples rather show the futility of trying to use a license to force good behaviour rather than a reason to change licenses.

>Any book that is $5 more expensive than current market price will instantly lose to thousands of competative cheaper books where authors write about similar topics while agreeing to earn peanuts.

I could see this being true for non-fiction, but for fiction? I'm generally not looking at price, I'm looking at whether the story seems interesting.

Two books can both be about space battles (or whatever your topic of choice is), but one can seem extremely interesting while the other doesn't. Similar topics doesn't really mean much compared to everything else (writing style, characters, etc.)

Eh, seL4 has a suite of tools that turn their pile of C and ASM into an obscure intermediate language that has some formally verifiable properties. IMO this is just shifting the compiler problem somewhere else, into a dark corner where no one is looking.

I highly doubt that it will ever have a practical use beyond teaching kids in the classroom that formal verification is fun, and maybe nerd-sniping some defense weirdos to win some obscene DOD contracts.

Some day I would love to read a report where some criminal got somewhere they shouldn't, and the fact that they landed on an seL4 system stopped them in their tracks. If something like that exists, let me know, but until then I'm putting my chips on technologies that are well known to be battle tested in the field. Maestro seems a lot more promising in that regard.
If the pipette dude would have died of drowning by pipetting, that would be ironic. If he drowned from a microlitre of water, that'd be ironic. But saying he couldn't handle large amounts of water is weird. The dude's unfortunate drowning death really doesn't add much to the story.

> If the only reason people work out is for aesthetics then everybody would just be a bodybuilder.

That makes an assumption that majority of the population thinks that bodybuilder physique is the most attractive one. If you are optimizing for aesthetics, imo the maxed out bodybuilding physique is both very difficult to achieve and isn’t going to optimize for most-liked aesthetic.

Out of bodybuilders i personally know, it is either about the challenge or going for the aesthetics that they themselves like and want (all while being very aware that it isn’t necessarily what most people like, and that’s valid).

That’s just a small nitpick though, fully agreed with the entirety of the rest of your comment.
second this, it seems that anyone can publish with them and the books most of the times are terrible, like reading clickbait articles on medium. Terrible.

This is a survey from gamers. There are a lot of games that only work on Windows, or work much better on Windows.

It's only been somewhat recently that games that support Linux have exploded in numbers. Somewhat coinciding with the release of the steam deck and the massive community it brought with it. There are now launchers for other stores for Linux and more every day.

Still, a lot of gamers don't really have a choice but to at least dual boot into Windows if they want to play some of the most popular games (Fortnite, for one).
it's not called Arch Linux in the survey. So not counted together.
I switched from powerlifting style training to hypertrophy training in the last year, and I have found nothing but more enjoyment out of my training. It isn't to say powerlifting style training is bad, just that my ankle mobility is shit so I can't squat below parallel easily, at least not without an ultra wide stance.

As for hypertrophy programs, I make my own by following Dr. Mike, Dr. Milo and Jeff Nippard on YouTube. Here's the one I am currently going through: https://1drv.ms/x/s!AiiXzauoGwzRgx2Jzb45uzbzdWC8

You can be both intelligent and a competent programmer while not liking rust. The same applies to functional programming.
It is hard to call OpenBSD an OS focused on security. Beyond pledge their primary focus seems to be "just implement everything correctly and don't run malware". If some utility has an implementation error or you do accidentally run something malicious you are hosed. Compare this to Linux with the extensive use of containerization and things like eBPF for dynamic security measures, or portals as part as flatpak for dynamic application permissions.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is loosely synonymous with "free radicals", which is more of an older term. ROS include free radical oxygen, but also other energetic non-radical species such as singlet oxygen and peroxide ions.

But yeah, your broad point is correct. Biology has several billions of years of evolutionary experience dealing with ROS and upregulates antioxidant biomolecules in response, it's way more complex than "ROS bad".

The lifting crowd hates cardio people. Because they are skinny wimpy girly men in their mainstream values... Yes it is that dumb, it is SNL skit.

It's actually a really good filter. Keep those people at arms length. The ones that don't have that attitude are the ones with positive balance aren't headed for the steroid slope.

Lifting is something that you should do with yoga or Pilates, swimming, some running and biking all in the mix. Because you get benefits from all of them.

The best starting workout for people imo is you lift 3 exercises, one set each to about 10-15 reps, then do 5 minutes of cardio between them. Do that cycle 4 times.

You'll get 20 minutes of cardio and 12 different exercises. Make sure 2-3 of the motions are lower body.
And do they actually solve more science or engineering problems than US?
Feel free to ignore this if it feels like nit-picking, but I'm particularly sensitive to "addiction" language.

We don't have a biological framework for addiction, we have a framework for building routines and healthy habits. The system is incredibly beneficial and we'd do ourselves a great disservice not utilizing that system to improve our health and lifestyle.

Again, I'm fairly sure we all understand what you're saying, but I find there's a great deal of cumulative power in the language/framing we use day-in and day-out and I believe my characterization isn't just optimistic, but more accurate.
