I didn’t read it as “significantly” affect work performance at all, it seemed more like it anything that DOES affect work performance is a problem

EDIT: Also it seems like they don’t like you doing things similar to what they paid you to do, even if it’s not in competition at all… so sounds like after hours coding consulting even in a complete different industry would be frowned upon even if it didn’t affect your performance

So all in all, still pretty strict

>Seems absent-minded to me.

This is an unrealistic attitude. One can insult people all day, but it doesn't change the fact that society doesn't work properly if we don't account for things humans do, even if it only looks like they are hurting themselves. On one hand, we shouldn't use law to force people to "be responsible for themselves" in petty cases (as opposed to e.g. forcing people to have car insurance), but if enough people commit the same mistake, it's almost by-definition not purely their fault - and on a more objective note, it is certainly pointless to waste time wondering how much of it is carelessness and how much of it is reasonable given what else is going on in people's lives and what their experiences and competencies are like. We simply must give a shit, as natural as it feels to want to just let people deal with things themselves.

Again, one can continue to consider these people mostly at fault or try to get them educated or just make fun of them or hyperbolically lament the fall of society or whatever one's preferred flavor of reaction is, but we also have to solve the active problem. Modern society is too integrated and complex to not give a shit.

Ideally, what I'd like to be able to say is that modern humans are too sympathetic and imaginative to not give a shit.
But women with no access to affordable child care or sex education or birth control or proper reproductive rights and health care tend to get knocked up all the time. On average, they have more children too.

If you don't value the lives of Women, that's a much easier, cheaper, and more effective "solution" to birth rates. It's also popular enough to enough Americans to be the explicit plan/goal/effort of the Republican party in many states.

It's much easier to exploit a worker that grew up in a poor family too.
Furniture manufacturers 50-100 years ago didn't have the option to cheap out in as many ways as they do now. My grandpa was an electrician repairing dishwashers, dryers, and washing machines for most of his career. He started sometime after he left the army, so this was late 40's or early 50's since he was lucky and missed the Korean War, finally fully retired in the early 2000's. The internals on Maytag dishwashers were all metal back then, because plastic wasn't really an option. OEM replacement parts were also way cheaper and easier to obtain back then before a lot of companies realized they could make bank overcharging for parts. There's a massive difference in manufacturing quality and other features for modern furniture and appliances.

Dealing with customers is a PITA and dealing with suppliers is a PITA, at a 20% markup they're doing you a favor.
The one of the reasons bulk discounts exist is that each interaction with a customer is expensive as is the process of finding them.

I mainly sell software but I offer customers hardware to go with it as a favor to them at ~30% markup and it is usually much cheaper than what they can get elsewhere - keeping things under one roof on on one contract makes things easier and we make enough money on the software side we can safely eat potential extra warranty costs on hardware. You'd be surprised but if you let them customers will try to run server software on a 10+ year old laptop and then complain to you when it crashes.
Same. New York Times always gets me without fail. They always start at something absurd like $3/mo or $5 for six months, and before you know it I’m auditing my statements and see that I’ve been paying $34.99/mo for the last two years. Repeat ad infinitum.
A demo would be useful.
I am disagreeing - why would more money make you inherently smarter? His premise that smart parents make more more is unquestionably false when 99% (or something) of wealth is transferred via inheritance - people don't generally get rich anymore[1].

Also, if you want to measure IQ, why not use an IQ test and not some arbitrary proxy?

Indicative of how marvelously stable Django is that none of these roadmap items have to do with the software.

I came back to the old workhorse for some experimentation recently and was delighted, delighted (!), I tell you, at how familiar, comfortable, and productive it was.

Started exploring a Turbolinks/Turboframes implementation (https://github.com/hotwire-django/turbo-django) that Just Worked. Amusingly, mid-hack, the repo owner marked it as unmaintained.

But it works! Nothing needs doing! Another victim of the cult of constant improvement.
I am really curious if the DDOS tried to follow them to the new infra and failed to cause an outage or not. Apparently the perpetrator noticed when they got Cogent to narrow the null route, but the blog post notes they still can't access the original subnet in that datacenter. Are they still trying to knock Sourcehut offline? Is the DDOS still pointing at now deprecated infra for some reason?
> It's not a matter of identity, but explanatory power. To reiterate, the self-acknowledgement/'diagnosis' as autistic (not ASD) is 'useful from a self-compassion and tolerance standpoint'. So instead of, why do I find X difficult when everyone else finds it easy (or even laughs/condescends/points it out), I can say, I'm autistic, that's not easy for me.

It bothers me a bit that, if you turn it around, the lack of an explanation would be an impediment to self-compassion and tolerance. "I find X difficult" ought to be enough, whether that coincides with any other traits (autistic or otherwise) or not.
> It gets A LOT colder here in Minnesota during winter than it does in Norway.

As someone who hasn't spent a lot of time in Norway or Minnesota this seems very surprising—if only because the southernmost part of Norway appears to be substantially farther north than the northernmost part of Minnesota.

And the data I'm finding suggests that the average winter temp is about 5 degrees lower in Norway than Minnesota. Though none of the data I've found in a few minutes of googling seems very reliable and understanding that Norway in particular is a big place. The average temperature of Norway weighted by area is surely much lower than it would be weighted by population.

Does the gulf stream have an impact here, at least on southern Norway?
I imagine offering even a 120v NEMA 5-15 socket (normal north american modern sockets) would be a competitive advantage per parking spot for new construction, without needing regulation, if builders knew it was a widely requested (or soon to be widely requested) feature.
> folks that won’t keep the service running wanting to have a say in our payload wanting us to change

This is my single biggest gripe with DevOps. If you’re not going to be fixing it, why on earth do you get a say as to how I build it? It’s nearly _always_ a one-way street, too – when’s the last time Ops successfully ordered Dev to change some specific part of their code (modulo things like, “hey, you really need to add a rate-limiter”)?

> About 30% of married mothers don’t work outside the home

So the great majority do. That actually confirms my world view. Of course my bubble is not representative, but it turns out that it formed the most probably correct opinion. Good enough for me.

> where the husband and wife earn about the same amount of money

So hard-working women (and they need to be hard-working in order to make as much as men who still have an advantage in the workplace) are also hard working at home. The article says that is only 29% of cases though.

I'm guessing not. Why should it be acceptable to say something completely unrelated about Thailand? It's even worse if it's something negative.

It would be fine if it were something relevant about Thailand (their mining legislation, for example)

You can't be any more wrong. Debian has full CD/DVD/BluRay sets backed up since v3.0. Slackware had both CD ISOs and repos saved at lots of mirrors.
At some point a team of developers fought for local control. They lost but it's too expensive to rip out again. So management chooses to sweep it under the rug and pretend it doesn't exist. Stalking your users is so much more profitable.
Yeah, I'm not around or just forget to pay something. For its potential downsides, the fact that I basically don't have to think about a bunch of my ongoing billing (including essential stuff like electricity) is an admittedly first world but nonetheless big improvement over weekly write checks/mail envelopes ritual as I did for years. (Certainly there are incremental levels but I carefully evaluate new subscriptions and don't really have an issue with automatic billing.)

> In 2024, a quarter million aging electric vehicles will be ready for dismantling and recycling. That could be more than a 30% jump from 2023 — and Redwood Materials, which aims to be the country's leading EV battery recycler, is ramping up its operations to prepare for the coming onslaught.

> The company created by Tesla cofounder JB Straubel, which also makes components for new batteries from materials it recovers from old ones, expects some 250,000 aging Tesla Model S sedans, Nissan Leaf hatchbacks, Toyota Priuses, Prius plug-ins and other hybrids, to turn up at dismantler lots in 2024 — with more coming every year after. That’s up from between 150,000 to 200,000 this year. To ensure it gets as many of those old batteries as possible, it’s launched a web portal to quickly give auto dismantlers purchase offers and schedule trucks to haul them away for recycling.

“People underestimate how nasty America is. We’d be better off building colonies in the Sahara than in America.”

Radiation on the surface of mars is only ~2.5x the radiation in the ISS. There’s no air there, either. Perchlorates suck for humans but are great as rocket fuel - there’s a double incentive to strip them out of the soil, and there are known mechanisms for doing so. The low gravity may or may not be an issue, but people have survived a year on the ISS in 0G so it’s probably surmountable.

Yes, living on Mars is much, much harder than living on Earth. No, it isn’t impossible.
For sure. That’s what makes us exceptional.

What I’m mainly pointing to is that we can’t currently just mass produce lithium. We just go around looking for it more.

My 2019 Model 3 is using more than twice its normal energy use in the Calgary cold; 293 wh/km vs 143 wh/km normally.

Thankfully, charging on a 120v output is fine but I only drive 30-40 km per day at a maximum.

It is not the same as a gas car or a hybrid; I knew this beforehand (and am only using it in winter due to an accident) but creating the impression that cold weather is easily handled is just not accurate.

Although, if I am being completely transparent, I think the main issue is that the roads are covered with snow and that is significantly increasing the rolling resistance. Clearing the snow between the tires and the wheel well is also super annoying when it is -30 C outside. (I wonder if this problem is just a design issue and not inherent to EVs, but it's not something I am knowledgeable about..)
Ah yes because unelected bureaucrats are unbiased.
Warming with blankets only works if the thing is itself emitting heat, to be partially reflected back via the blanket, or emitted more slowly through the blanket than without the blanket.

So how would a frozen car become warmer with a blanket, unless some subsystem within it is emitting energy?

Generally - I don't think we at all know what is the most 'virtuous' thing to do either individually or in aggregate as a society. You can see this with the EA movement where people convinced they dedicated their lives to helping (or maybe one day helping) others really are just personally enriching themselves and committing fraud.

We can build or expand - is that virtuous? We can reduce or minimize our impact - is that virtuous? We can seek health, prosperity or purpose for most of us but maybe that dooms some percentage to misery - is that virtuous? I think deep humility that we really don't know and can only incrementally experiment and still mostly be wrong is the best we can do.
You sound like you have an axe to grind by invoking that accusation against someone else over a common sense statement.
Zeilberger is a hardline finitist. According to him, a lot of mathematics is meaningless or at least woefully misguided due to its reliance on infinite sets, which he believes to be nonsense. His opinions are far from mainstream, but they sure are entertaining. Here's a taste:

> But just like Gödel, [Turing] missed the point! Neither of them proved that "there exist true yet unprovable statements". Rubbish! Every meaningful statement is either provable (if it is true) or disprovable (if it is false). What they did (meta-)prove, by a Reductio Ad Absurdum clever argument, is that many statements that were believed to be meaningful, are really utterly devoid of meaning. As I have already preached in this sermon, the problem is the fictional (and pernicious!) infinity. In particular, Turing thesis's is utter nonsense, talking about "oracles", that lead to lots of beautiful, but fictional and irrelevant work by logicians and theoretical computer scientists.
Coincidentally I just started reading Engineering: A Very Short Introduction by David Blockley. I was very excited after the first chapter: it has a lot of profound ideas about engineering at large. Did you know that "engineer" does not derive from "someone who cares for Industrial Revolution era engines" but rather stems from a Latin / old French word for "ingenious"?? The second chapter feels a bit thrown together; i.e. the author seems to struggle a bit to unite all the events coherently. I think it's safe to say however that this book will give a broad overview of the long-term historical trends in the discipline, which is foundational for any type of philosophical understanding.

P.S. I love the VSI series. Fits in my back pocket and usually gives a satisfying overview of a discipline. I always get a few fascinating ideas from every book. I've read probably 20 from the series at this point.
I found that Canada has three types of background checks: the Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) as you mentioned, the Police Information Check (PIC), and the Criminal Record Check (CIC).

The VSC always includes non-conviction records. The CIC omits these types of records, as this only reports convictions. However, the middle-level PIC can include these records on a case-by-case basis. The Alberta Civil Liberties Research Centre reports [1]: "The police will often disclose your non-conviction records in a PIC if they believe the information will help the potential employer or other agency in their decision-making process. This assumes that these agencies are qualified to make a determination that the information disclosed will determine the candidate’s suitability or pose a safety risk."

The circumstances are especially unfair to Barker as he has been working for Duncan First Nation in a role that requires involvement in finance. So, Barker may be especially affected by the non-conviction record even for jobs related to managing finances that don't require a VSC, but also a PIC, as a police department would likely find the record relevant for any position related to finances.
