Tell us, why you hold that perspective? It's an odd one. Nobody else in this thread holds that perspective. You even admit it is insane, yet here you are telling us about this unique perspective you hold for some reason. Are you hoping that we will declare you insane and admit you in for care? I don't quite grasp the context you are trying to work within.
> You aren't going to be able to change your personality

You absolutely can change your personality - for the better or for the worse - and it's still going to be you. Pay attention to people and you will see that they change with time. We all can improve and evolve our soul, just as we can do with our body.

Putting valid industry applications aside, consumer hydrogen was always just a FUD just slow down prevent EV adoption and PHEV use by the petroleum companies.

It sucks because it should be a valid path for lots of things, but the grey black blue was all a bullshit screen for methane sales in perpetuity.
The problem with the ‘no vehicles in the park’ example is that the question is intentionally vague. I feel like we do ourselves a disservice to hold this particular example up as a way to conclude that everyone disagrees and it’s impossible to agree and let’s throw up our hands. The way forward is to put more precision into the rule statement. And yes, there might be diminishing returns and ;it might even be impossible for every last person to agree, but that’s an actively harmful take-away if it’s possible to get 90% or 95% or 99% to agree by just being slightly more specific. A huge portion of the ‘no vehicles in the park’ questions are already answered by existing US aviation laws, for example. Another huge swatch of the questions would have been answered if the rule was ‘no motor vehicles in the park’. By intentionally withholding the actual rules, this survey doesn’t strike me as evidence that agreeing is hard, it seems like more of a trick question.
Honestly, I don’t think this is a bad idea. Games are usually distributed in binary form, and Linux is an awful target for distributing binaries. Especially if you want them to work 10 years later.

Imagine games that dynamically link some library (or glibc). They wouldn’t run on other Linux distributions with mismatching dependencies (or a different libc).

Sure, 100% statically linked binaries might work. But wine also runs on non-Linux.

Windows is a sufficiently homogeneous target, and wine works well enough. Heck, some games run better in Linux+Wine than they do in windows.

> Spend too long abroad over a period of a few years and there's a requirement to "reapply"

This applies to many other countries' so-called permanent residencies as well. It could be revoked if one spends a long period abroad, or collects a (local or foreign) criminal record, or otherwise gets in the granting government's bad books. They're permanent only in name.
This may be because some people are assuming this is a rules-driven culture and some are assuming it's a principle-driven culture. (In real world examples we could also have a power-driven culture.) Understanding that a difference exists, what their effects are, and which you're in is important. Given insufficient information to clearly determine, people are not wrong to operate in either regime.
They don't. Clustered databases deal with parallel generation of them just fine.

They don’t need to know the edge cases to understand the basics of how DNS works.

Problem: rustbucket first car, frame breaks; axle shackles break; etc... can't fix it because ya can't weld rust.

But you can tie it back together with bailing wire. Lots of small strands and weave a cable knot around the bits that should have been united but are now not.

It worked very well, it gave the car a flexibility and spring that enabled some incredible stunts. Like the wood wing spar on a Spitfire, it made the machine much more alive. with the brake locks and our rear axle that moved 12in under load, we could hop from a standing start.
Because the project was big enough to warrant more than one person. I have a whole team surrounding me to handle non-technical/non-development incidentals. Most companies would have had a lot more budgeted and would have pre-hired five devs. Then everything would have moved glacially slow, fulfilling the prophecy that five devs were needed.
> Discourage private messages and encourage public channels.

I wish my current company did this. It's infuriating. The other day, I asked a question about how to set something up, and a manager linked me to a channel where they'd discussed that very topic - but it was private, and apparently I don't warrant an invite, so instead I have to go bother some other engineers (one of whom is on vacation.)

Private channels should be for sensitive topics (legal, finance, etc) or for "cozy spaces" - a team should have a private channel that feels like their own area, but for things like projects and anything that should be searchable, please keep things public.

> Your money, believe it or not, is gold

Ahahahha.

Let me teach you something: you know this interesting factoid that everything that you've know as a child appears to be obvious whereas everything that comes after is regarded as being somewhat unnatural (in good or in bad though)?

Well that's exactly how this idea of gold being the money was born: gold as the money standard is a pretty recent idea, it only took of in the late 19th century[0], when bimetallism (gold + silver, which had been ubiquitous for hundreds of years[1]) died because of the massive improvement in silver extraction capacity (thanks industrial revolution, yet another good ol' thing you destroyed!). But lots of folks grew up during the short period of time where the gold standard had existed, and then it appeared to some of them that “money equals gold” was obvious and everything that came after was bad.

But the truth is, money is whatever people use to pay stuff, although it's better if it can be stored in some fashion for a certain time without losing all value (that's why overinflation is bad, even though people routinely live fine with low double digit inflation).

(Also, everything else I read from your comment is QAnnon-level of “dude WTF”… I quited reading after too many yikes, sorry)

If you really want to learn stuff about money, free from contemporary ideologies, you should go read Allynn Young, he's from a century ago and he talks brilliantly about the history of money in the US before the Fed was created. And, spoiler alert, it's not the kind of “rosy sound money” fantasy: it was a bloody mess.

But you can also keep parroting conspiracy theories if that's your thing, who am I to judge.

[0]: though most money was debt-based fiat already, but at least there was some kind of pegging.

[1]: even then, the metal itself was only really used for international trade, for domestic trade the face value was commonly used, and debasement was routine)
That's a terrible idea. Some problems:

- Agreeing on what's allowed is not the same problem as agreeing on what happened.

- If you can't tell what happened, why are you issuing a judgment at all? Look at the incentives: when nothing has happened, a policy of not issuing judgments means that someone who files a spurious lawsuit will win 0% of the time. A policy of "I try to break the calls evenly for both sides" means that they win 50% of the time. This has enormous costs (you're going to see a lot of spurious lawsuits, and half of them will win!) and no benefits.

>Owning recordings means accepting that someday they won’t work any more.

...that's why you format shift (vinyl -> cassette, cd -> mp3/flac)?

Backing up your primary media and the listening to the secondary format saves wear and tear and extends the life of your primary source too.

I have cds I bought in the 90's I can still back up if I feel the need to do so.

I doubt that anyone will be able to say the same about being able to access rented media in the 2040's or 2050's.
It also doesn't mention recent history with the labs: they have private management & a lot of bloat these days.

Livermore National Lab LLC conducts the management of the labs since ~2005 and the half-life of a physicist there is like 10years... ie 10years ago they had 2x the scientists. Now they have 10x admins.

"Administrative costs at Lawrence Livermore have similarly swelled. In 2009 LLNS received $47 million and $30.9 million in 2008. The most the University of California received for running Lawrence Livermore was $6.75 million in 2005."[1]

I think the park rule would work better if it were "Don't be an ass in the park".

I think most of us would agree on what that means. The guy parachuting into the park, for example, is clearly in violation, whereas the ambulance driver and kids playing with toys are ok.
While there are certainly complex and weird stuff in the DNS world. The basic of how the DNS works is really not that complicated.
Make sure to have a look at nixvim: https://github.com/nix-community/nixvim
This line of thinking does make me wonder if the path forward might be a system of authority and variable consequences instead of trying to find consensus.

Agreeing is hard but the ambulance has the authority to ignore rules in the interest of the common good.

Similarly skate boarders and mothers with wagons don't have authority to violate rules but because the consequences (hypothetically imagined here) is based on weight then they can violate the rule with relative impunity because such a minor infraction of the rule only endangers them to passing enforcers to say "shame on you" to them.

At this point to me it seems the hard point is objectively applying consequences in a moderation setting. I'm not sure how to make a call that someone is being only a little bit of an asshole in anyway that allows an online community to function in a way that is cohesive.
You need to buy service manual.
Assuming that was sarcastic, you are free to try, I guess everyone needs to try it once.

Just do the exercise of deciding what is really important first, so you can make sure you succeed for that stuff.
I tried the game after your comment and got 100% agreement with the majority.

My rule was that a vehicle was an artificially powered object capable of moving itself along with one or more people (not necessarily comfortably! This is just a mass threshold). "In the park" means in the region of space where one could physically interact with people in the park, or alternatively in its legal jurisdiction; the airspace a few thousand feet above the park's topmost solid point is almost never under the jurisdiction of the park itself.

I agree with the overall point about moderation, but I find this a bad example because I think someone reasonably rules-oriented would settle on very similar rules.
No it is not. That is my whole point: NixOS could have one without the other.

Consider modifying NixOS to remove the requirement that the long hex id in the name of a package in /nix/store/ is a cryptographic hash of (among other things) the hashes of every package the package depends on (thereby eliminating the need to upgrade every package on the system every time the libc packages is updated). I am pretty sure you can do that while retaining the property that it is easy to have multiple versions of something installed that don't conflict with each other. I have not actually done that (I have not actually modified NixOS in that way, then tested the result, e.g., by making it my daily driver for a while) which is why I'm using qualifiers like "I am pretty sure", but I'm confident enough it can be done that I consider it worth bringing up in online conversations about NixOS. The cryptographic hash gives you a guarantee that a binary package you got from the NixOS package servers has not been adulterated in some way on its way to you--a guarantee that you can check without your having to go through the trouble of building the package yourself, but IIUC that guarantee is not actually used anywhere to make the supply chain any more secure.

In general NixOS seems to be bad at security or not to care about security: for example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36268776

Again there are good ideas in NixOS (including ideas that seem like they could be used to meaningfully increase security) and I hope anyone creating a new distro studies NixOS, but as a distro to be actually used in anger in the present day I am not impressed.

This is not a design choice, this is laziness by ZX.
Interesting, I really like your technical blogs https://peergos.org/blog.
Part of the issue here on why people are adding rules to this game is because there is a real life abstraction in what seemingly most people would consider nonsensical rules.

If you said "are borbs allowed in the bezzilizx" it would be more interesting on what the gradient of answers would be as we are not making as many presuppositions.

For example, if my grandma is dying of a heart attack in the park, one of the most common behavior of those involved will be "fuck your rules, get the ambulance down here". This is that humans are not yes/no rule following computers and we will gladly toss rules to the side over a number of factors encompassing everything from immediacy of need to the depths of our greed.

I don't think the helicopter was meant to be a real suggestion, just relaying an example of some of the calls and emails they've received. I think it was meant to sound silly but just show that people are interested, including people with no real idea.

All in all, the physical theft looks almost trivial to me going by the pictures of the actual site.

What mystifies me is how it went unnoticed at the electrical level, that a landscaper had to tell them.

The location is remote and unmanned, but the station must know instantly when anything at all changes even slightly about the transmitter or antenna.

Not because of webcams or anything like that either.

The connections from the signal source to the transmitter and from the transmitter to the antenna are not just one-way and blind. Any change at the load directly and instantly affects the source.

I mean obviously I must be wrong about that somewhere along the way.

I actually had a ham licence but back in the 80s and I was only 11 or so. So my understanding is both educated and not.

I have no idea what you mean by that.

There are plenty of people who are playing the "Who's trendier" game and who will like you more if you say, "oh yeah, Brussels, I was there last year but this year I went to [new trendy spot]." This is because some people genuinely do want to be trendy and do want to hang out with trendy people.
The irony is that his solution has an unnecessary log(n) term, because it's finding each point independently instead of taking advantage of the fact that the input points are also a dense grid. ;) so it can probably run 2-10x faster than the optimized version, assuming that the function call to bin search is probably a lot more expensive than filling in the grid, which R can do internally.

(You don't have to binary search each time, you have a known starting point from the previous point. So you binary search once to find the top-left point and the rest is just checking if you moved into the next global grid cell.)
>I don't have anything against digital hoarders, but I do think in most cases it's compulsion more than anything driving them to archive all of the movies, tv shows, and music that they do.

The recent crunchyroll/funimation flaps would prove the wisdom of being a hoarder (of some sort), at least for things you're going to care about some day.

I mean, there is some truth to what you say. E.G. I have gigs of music in my digital collection that was simply "eh, maybe I'll wanna hear it someday" circa 2005 but then I never got to listening to; but that doesn't mean that in most cases it's only compulsion (at least for me, personally).

Main difference between plastic bags and several of your other examples are the others are PET and are highly recyclable relative to things like plastic bags.

While I don’t disagree with taxing production of these products to price the externalized costs in to them, I imagine they would still want a bag fee.

No grocery store wants to be the first to start charging for plastic bags, so they’re just going to handle it like any other increase in their costs… price it in to margins on their products. (When fuel taxes go up the grocery store doesn’t start charging a transportation fee or something, right?) Now we have a situation where no individual customer’s choice will directly benefit them, and in fact the rational choice would probably be to keep using the plastic bags since you’re paying for them already!

By exposing the cost directly to the consumer instead of having it lost in the middle of all the other price increases we’ve become accustomed to, they’re at least _aware_ of how their behavior is influencing costs and can take clear, simple actions to avoid those costs on an individual basis.

The £38K threshold is ridiculous. To provide some context for anyone lacking it, the median salary in the UK for 22 to 29 year olds is £30K for men and £28K for women. The only group with a median comfortably exceeding that threshold is men aged 40-59. There is no age group in which women's median salary exceeds £38K.

Indeed that is what I understood to be one of the most common origins of surnames in the Western world generally. Given that, it was the intentional sarcasm in surname choice among some Dutch families in occupied Netherlands, circa 1811, that I found novel, humorous, and interesting.

The Wikipedia entry on the person in question makes it clear that his parents were born in the Netherlands and already had the Monster surname there. But since a town there has that name, I'm happy to assume that the family took the name from the town, as is very common in the West, rather than by an intentionally sarcastic choice.
