One very simple option is Google Groups.

But to your questions:

It is not hard to run a mailing list, if you know how to run a mail server, and are familiar with text based config files. Running the mail server and sorting out DKIM SPF DMARC will probably take some research. Dealing with RBLs etc is annoying but can be accomplished if you're on a netblock with a good history. You probably are not though.

Spam is not an issue, if your membership is invited, approved, or moderated.

Mailman is "fine". Set it up once and it works forever. Getting it set up is a fair bit of work, the first time. Mailing lists end up being fairly complicated things, and -- at least as of the last list I ran on Mailman -- these things are not optimized for operator experience.

For a very small and manually curated membership, you could just use an alias on your mail server. Mailing list software just automates sub/unsub actions, digest, archives, etc. You might not need any of that.

These options are either fun projects, or they are headaches, depending on your goals. If the latter, it's infinitely easier to set up Google Groups. When I shut down the last mailing lists on my servers, most of them transitioned to GG and there have been no complaints from the new operators (who were neophytes).

All the usual caveats about Google apply of course. Most people don't care.
"Classic" Windows usually came with DOS which included BASIC, with the main difference being that in Windows 95/98/Me it no longer had an editor, IIRC.

Original IBM PC in absence of other drive would attempt to boot from cassette and then drop you into similar BASIC interpreter - the "GW-BASIC" included in DOS was the same except it was shipped completely as file on disk drive instead of being ROM.

NT didn't have included programming language before NT 4.0 SP4, when WSH was added, it was also part of Outlook 97 and IE 3.0.\

The original computer to ship without any programming tools that was targeted at general population was Apple Lisa, I seem to recall mention of at least one loud consumer complaint if not lawsuit based around expectation that general purpose computer should have some tool included.
The probably know their time is coming to an end and are now attempting to sell any information they deem valuable. I can imagine some bosses would love to know who posted the scathing reviews while still working for the company and would be willing to pay.

True, that might not be representative. Sure treadmill desks are not for everybody. As a wfh dad I walk about half of my workday for the last 3 years. The most positive effect for me is that I am less tired and fatique at the end of the day. While getting leaner I think the weight loss gets compensated after some time as the calorie intake also rises at least for me. Other positive impacts for me are better sleep and no more back pain after long days - this kind of made it a game changer for me.

Media piracy is alive because many simply don't have access to it, otherwise.

Who is the idiot who pays for a garbage streaming service that has no content? Let alone multiple streaming services? Just read a book, instead.

No. Piracy and crypto aren't alive because of your delusions.

The last feature piracy has is enabling game demos (Thank fuck more companies are releasing demos again). How many times do companies expect to fool people into shilling out hard cash for what, effectively, is just an unrelated CGI video reel nicked named "trailer"? Many times these trailers don't even include gameplay. Other times they straight up lie about the content of the game and release it with dumbed down graphics. Or a much more barren world.

Nah, piracy enables demos and it doesn't "hUrT tHe GaMiNg iNdUsTrY".

“Only for DRM” isn’t accurate.

I’ve been using the TPM 2.0 chip on my ASUS based Linux box to store various keys. Tooling for this on the Linux side has improved significantly [0] and it’s been supported since kernel 3.20 (2015) [1].

How effective this is at improving one’s security posture is another question and it’s probably not a huge security upgrade, but it does mitigate some classes of attack.

I’m curious why you’re saying it’s explicitly not allowed? At least for standard TPM 1.2/2.0 chips, that isn’t the case.

I love this. I have my commonplace book in Roam Research. Search in Roam is not perfect and I have wondered lately if there was a way to get all of the content into a graph DB and then query using LLMs. But I haven't had time to tinker with it - I am sure open source libraries exist that do exactly this.

Can your library take all highlights from Readwise or just Kindle? I use Readwise Reader quite a bit and will love something that takes everything I save + all highlights + other places (Roam Research, Email, Calendar) etc. and I can just ask it questions.
Normal people don't think that deeply about it or understand even 10% of the terms you just reeled out.

I'm not sure where you got this data from, but small farms don't all operate the same way and can't be generalized to a simple metric of "environmental impact per kg of food".

Massive farms get away with externalizing a large portion of their environmental impact. Does your data account for the impact of everything from fertilizer production and transportation to chemical use and ecological damage of pesticides and fertilizers? How is the environmental damage for the massive amount of soil loss with industrial farming even accounted for?

> You’re romanticizing a past that is long gone.

I'm not romanticizing anything and to assume that belittles the point. I agree that we don't have many small farms today and I was raising that as a problem, not a bygone era that we're better off without.

Your assumption that I'm romanticizing it because we disagree in the feasibility or benefits is like me claiming that emissions controls will reverse climate change is a romanticized view, and implying that its a waste of time. I don't agree with anyone that thinks emissions controls will save the planet, but I wouldn't disrespect their ideas for a different future either.
Those are two different topics. BeMyEyes is a smartphone app which brings your camera and OpenAI vision models together. It is ment to be used to describe/OCR things in your real-world environment.

While alt texts could theoretically be replaced by a browser/screen reader functionality that asks a vision model to describe the image, it is a waste of time and energy to have each and every user do it over and over again.

> These are the central questions in the formal study of computation. The field dates back to 1936, when Alan Turing first imagined a fanciful device, now called a Turing machine, that could perform any computation by reading and writing symbols on an infinite tape.

It dates further back to the 1920s when Moses Schönfinkel came up with Combinatory Logic [1], and the early 1930s when Alonzo Church came up with the lambda calculus [2]. These models however make a less suitable base for computational complexity theory.

> I think email would be a lot better if plain text were the only format possible.

When writing longer emails it helps to be able to emphasis words, section the email, quote, create bullet lists and hide long links behind a title. All of these would work nicely if email clients would support (and default to) markdown.

Attachments are sufficient for images, but with markdown I could still inline them when it makes sense.

Fonts/colors are very frustrating every time I compose emails and copy/paste text.
Cool site!
I use cloud-hosted redis. Presumably the price will be going up. i work for non-profit endeavors with limited budgets.

I don't necessarily need redis specifically; infrastructure ecosystems just developed around it because it was both very high-quality and open source. I could probably do most or all of what I do with redis with an rdbms. Or in some cases memcached.

I anticipate switching away from redis.
I've never seen a person with those titles. On the cloud we are all just developers.

> cows are treated terribly whether they're being raised for meat is dairy

Cows are treated much better than chickens, and plausibly have net-positive lives. (But of course, there is a lot of room for improvement and many cases of plain torture)

See 2.2.3 here: https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/12/11/acc-is-eating-meat-a-n...

As an almost-vegan, I think it's very important to highlight the huge difference between different kinds of factory farming, and eating cows might not be that bad. See e.g. https://faunalytics.org/animal-product-impact-scales/
> Years later I realized that we all who eat eggs and poultry are not better.

There is a difference though. According to Wikipedia, the remains of female chicks are later used in cat food and fertilizers. Anyways, the idea is that it is not wasted. Throwing yolks down the drain is just waste.

Or at least that's what I've seen. It is actually not that easy to find information about what is done after chick culling. Almost all sources focus on the ethics of killing. But I think what is done with the remains doesn't get enough attention.

We kill to eat, directly or indirectly, vegans less than meat eaters, but there is no way around it unless we make radical change to society, and by radical I mean stuff like genocide or science fiction level technology, so, no. So I think we need to settle for the next best thing, that is making sure all that killing is put to good use.

So, if the chick remains are wasted I agree that something needs to be done. If the remains are used for feeding cats in a way that reduces the need for other food sources (like chicken people could eat), then it is not as bad. Gruesome, sure, but at least, it is not a meaningless death, that's what fed your cat.
In a data table "not available" is usually the right word for it, like if you have a list of national statistics then some of the values wont be available due to political reasons etc. But all of those means basically the same thing to the end user, this value isn't there.

Peak Reddit.

The only thing that's keeping it there is atrocious search discovery of communities that exist in its long tail of interests - Reddit's the only place to go. Everyone has a long tail interest, OpenID's too hard(!), Facebook owns the offline 'you' with the core like a core of Mastodon - dedicated to their identity on that network.

The AI's a flash in the pan. Reddit can't saturate interests any further and the focus is no longer making the long tail feel welcome.
it's amusing how you can miss his point so badly and still think that's he is wrong and not you for applying a false analogy and making the false conclusion.

The example you mentioned is fundamentally different, why? The owner has the option to completely disable anything they dislike or install a different OS, especially on linux which prides itself on maximum user choice. And even then it's asinine to compare features that are for enhanced security and Apple's version of "security" which just limits user choice to products that have to pass Apple's gate so they have to pay a tax to enrich Apple.

OK what do you think contributes to good "feel" of a bike frame, with regard to high frequency vibration, then?

I mean what frequency would you class as road buzz? With that we could start to analyse what's going on.

When I look at the damping ratio of steel[1] I see something around 0.01 - 0.05 which is under-damped.

Carbon fibre can be somewhat better at between around 0.1-0.3 i.e. an order of magnitude better but still not what I'd consider a shock absorber.

I'd be surprised if much high frequency vibration that's made it through the tyres is actually damped by the frame.

With regard to non-blind, anecdotal comparisons I own and regularly ride bikes made from steel, aluminium and carbon fibre. I'm in the camp that thinks a long flexible seat post will do much more for comfort than frame material.

If you know of a study showing otherwise though, I'd be really interested to see it.

For every other non-native speaker like me, lmgtfu: NIMBY (/ˈnɪmbi/, or nimby), an acronym for the phrase "not in my back yard", is a characterization of opposition by residents to proposed infrastructure developments in their local area, as well as support for strict land use regulations.
It’s not the end of the world though. My parents (who only knew how to use a TV) could and did learn how to use a computer.

I'm not sure that we (in the US) decided alcohol was fine from a liberty perspective, I think it was more the social consequences of Prohibition appeared to some to outweigh the evils it was fighting and to be somewhat ineffective to boot. For something as socially acceptable as drinking, it probably would have been better to take the sort of tack that was taken against cigarettes: increasingly high taxation, relentless educational campaigns beginning in childhood, advertising bans, regulation, bans on flavors etc., culminating decades later in total bans like what is now planned in some countries.

> they don't want to use the Play App Signing feature

It's not a feature that you enable with a button and it's good to go. It's basically giving up control of your own app, even for people getting this app from non-Google app stores.

You need to give your signing key to Google and accept that Google employees (or any government asking Google nicely) can release updates to your own apps without going through you, and the user phones will accept those updates as being from the original developer because the signatures match.

With an update installed with matching signatures, the system doesn't wipe existing data from the storage and the fake update can read all of it. As a user of VLC I would not want them to use app signing keys that Google has access to.
> Have you truly lost all...

Literally, no. But...

Massive losses of higher-paying/higher-skill jobs, especially in factories, are pushing very large number of citizens into low-pay/low-skill/insecure jobs. They often react badly to the prospect of (their PoV) yet more people who the boss could replace them with at any moment.

Current accepted wisdom, for many manual jobs, is that automation/robots/AI will replace most of the human workers in the next decade-ish. For instance - the hot new trend in car washes is extreme automation - cutting the labor force by 10X or more.

Gentrification puts NIMBY's - who tend to be very poverty-intolerant - either in, or close to, many of the places where migrants might live "at unintended high densities".
Why not just have the government mandate that the only browser in the world is now Safari for everyone on every platform then?

I'm sorry but the example you gave for your argument makes no sense at all. Most people here have tasks and daily meetings where these tasks are discussed or at least briefly mentioned (in other words, your "iPad guy" is already there).

If someone is slacking, it is immediately visible. Can you abuse the system by providing fake explanations for why one task takes so long? Of course, but you can do the same whether you work remotely or not, and this can also be easily verified in both cases.

And as usual, some people believe Apple was the first to invent some feature, while it’s really been around for many years.

Iridium has offered a global satellite phone service since 1998, and the first satellite-capable “regular” mobile phones without a huge external antenna started showing up in the early 2010s (Thuraya in EMEA and Asia, Terrestar in the US).

Satellite mobile telephony is only literally rocket science these days.
I under that factory farming is absolutely ugly and there is a lot of low hanging fruit in how to improve it. But I never understand the extremist philosophy that no one should eat chickens or raise them in their back yard for eggs. Chickens simply don’t exist in the wild and are very far removed from the jungle fowl from which they came so long ago. If we stopped eating and raising them, they would go extinct. Is it better for a species to live in often poor conditions or to not exist entirely?
