> Fast -- in what way? How can you even measure the speed of an environment?..

How fast it installs, how fast it's ready when needed. This can be relevant depending on how you use them. For example, if I let every script run in a separate environment, it would matter if it's ready in 10 seconds or 10 milliseconds.

> Declarative -- as a developer, I don't care... Why is this important? Also, declarative means there's a bunch of imperative code hiding behind it. It just makes it harder to debug when things break.

As a developer, I do care how much work something will offload on me. And declarative is more about the state of the world, than the execution of a process. If there is a trustable system which can manage that world for me, then I will have less work, and fewer problems.

There's probably some backstory between Vlad and Lori there.

But beyond that, there's some irony in that exchange. If Vlad had simply stopped engaging when Lori asked, it would indeed make Lori seem like more of an asshole for rejecting an appeal to have a simple conversation. But then Vlad transgressed that wish, making Lori's case about not wanting to engage.

This guy[0] has done quite a few deep dives on heat pumps that cover a lot of the myths (eg they don't work in the cold). It's pretty interesting material if you're thinking about a heat pump.

It has always seemed silly to me that we spend money to keep a box of cold (fridge) inside the houses we're spending money to heat in the winter and spend a lot of money to heat up dryers, stoves, etc in the houses we're spending money to cool in the summer.

Watching these videos made me think there's a real possibility at some point to have something like a whole home heat pump that just moves heat from where it is to where you want it and in the process reduces the need for systems working against each other to heat/cool specific parts of the house. I understand there's something in commercial settings that has this capability but I'm blanking on the name.

You’re absolutely right. In fact, some billion dollar megacorps use fuses as a part of hardware DRM for this reason.
When I was researching my ink problems I found the only people who did useful reviews were

http://wilhelm-research.com/

not everybody agrees with their methodology but they're pretty much the only game in town. Their testing is expensive so it only happens if a big player is paying for it.

My experience is that the vast majority of people who post reviews on sites like Amazon of this kind of project are not qualified to have an opinion. I remember Best Buy having a prominent review of a printer about what a piece of crap it was that had a picture of a print they made that came out terrible, it looked just like what you get when you print on photo paper and put it with the wrong side up. (I've made that mistake too but I blamed myself and not the printer)

The one thing I did learn from reviews about ink for my old printer was that people will fill it with "transfer ink" and are happy with the results they get printing coffee mugs, T-Shirts and such. Overall though I'd be a lot more inclined to trust third-party inks if there were reviews I trusted.
Yes, I saw the issue was already reported in hatch and being worked on so I assumed it'd make its way into rye eventually! Thanks for closing the loop!

> If they're spreading disinformation, obviously they also aren't accurately representing their own speech patterns.

But GP is not documenting the 'true' speech patterns of the people spreading the disinformation, but rather the speech patterns they use when they are spreading disinformation (which, as you pointed out, might be different from their normal speech pattern). So the sources are still good enough for that.
If usage reports of social media are to be believed... disconnect from their main form of social interaction?
I had a thought that maybe increased marijuana use is a factor in this. I did a quick search and there are a quite a few studies and stories on the relationship between marijuana use and suicidal thoughts and attempts. It could also be that people who already have other factors turn to marijuana, which makes it worse instead of better.

I'm sure it's not the only thing, but it is a major change for 20-somethings in the last 10 years or so that they have much easier access to THC products that are extraordinarily potent.
Unless you're running a site that you know is constantly getting hits from all over the globe, using a CDN will make your site load slower for some users.

And you almost certainly don't need one for scaling purposes. I've handled frontpage traffic multiple times without.

What I wish existed (or maybe does) is something like a CDN with ~8 global locations that promises to keep your static site in a warm cache for a small fee, without me having to set up a fly.io app manually. That would let my blog always load fast anywhere on the planet even for the first hit in a region.
We've been underbuilding housing for quite a while in the United States. The GFC in 2008-2009 also spooked a bunch of people and convinced far too many people that another residential real estate crash was right around the corner. COVID happened and many people who were holding out lost their nerve and scrambled for housing, driving prices even higher.

First time in my life where asset doomerism actually made something more expensive.
I think that there's some consistent effort in right wing news sources to paint young/ liberal people as inappropriately worried.

It's nonsense.

There's been a land war in Europe for the first time since WW2 going on, if you hadn't noticed. About a half million casualties.

I can see that, but only because the dev has arguably already made the mistake of showing sales working features before tests are written. I've always been clear to say when something is a partial mockup to verify that I've understood what they're asking for.

No, this is generally up to the airline. (Some countries might be requiring it, but I haven't experienced that yet flying intra-Schengen.)
This is fascinating. Can someone recommend a book that goes into similar depth as this article covering these types of symbiotic relationships? Examples I can think of are:

I am sure there are many more.
How is it Murthy’s fault? India started behind on many sectors and needed time to catch up.

These vilified IT sweatshop jobs were and remain stable paths to the middle class for young Indians growing up in poverty.

It’s only recently that India started to produce high-quality startups, because they had already built a base with the low-hanging fruit first.

P.S. - I’m not Indian.
Similarly, a lot of these trucks seem to have "farm use only" plates.
If you don't have an authenticated channel, you are susceptible to a MITM attack which makes any asymmetric crypto useless. Thus I think there is an implicit assumption in any asymmetric crypto that you already have an authenticated channel. Or did I miss something?
Every entrepreneur obsesses about some competitor or some business model.

You can see various baubles glint in Vlad's eye.

If you are a collection of 10x devs, you can afford to make multiple bets and test for traction. You can sample the Brave waters, or try to head off Proton claiming ownership of privacy first, or get in front of perplexity and phind. Arguably, only products you've shipped can tell you the truth about product market fit.

Which is to say, I don't think these "let 1000 flowers bloom" experiments are a bad thing... so long as the core product has no appearance of inattention and never goes backwards in usability or quality while "net promotion" is still part of the growth plan.
I'd suggest more any familial units with manners and respect - regardless of wealth or race. Lots of white kids who act poorly in rich & poor neighborhoods the teachers don't want to deal with but have to.

> there are hardly incentives or room for raises.

There are lots of incentives. If you get a master's degree, your pay automatically goes up!

Does that help anyone but you? Well, it helps the school of education that you paid for your degree. Does it help anyone else? Of course not.

But that doesn't mean there are no incentives. We stated what we wanted, and we got it. We have more incentives than we need.

I once taught a class for teachers and after so many failed to be able to apply the quadratic equation, I told him that it would be the bonus question for the next test.

After so many then failed I told them that just writing the formula would be the bonus question on the next test.

Tests - whatever you wish to call them - are an assertion that something will always and forever be true. A unit thus needs to be a unit of code that you are telling all future maintainers that they cannot refactor such that this changes.

If you are writing the list data structure for a new language (if you like LISP you are looking for a better name than car/cdr, while C++ guys are thinking vector without the template mess, and ... all are correct for this discussion) - this will quickly be used by everyone and so it doesn't matter if you can't change the API as this data structure will soon be used everywhere in your code and so a change isn't possible. However most classes/functions are only used in a couple places that they are close to and so it isn't a big deal to change them - thus you shouldn't write tests that force the API.

When you have a large system eventually you need to break it up into things that are smaller just to understand. Those are good places to write tests and mocks as you get flexibility internally to do what you want and you don't really understand what is going on outside. However someone needs to write whole system integration tests as nobody understands what happens between the smaller parts.

Oh, I do avoid the obvious PFAs. I make my girlfriend use my carbon steel pans instead of her grody old Teflon ones that she puts in the dishwasher. I’ve not used Teflon in like 20 years because these issues aren’t new. A lot of people have been getting wise to that for quite some time. Every year more of the non-stick pans I see at the store use ceramic coatings instead of Teflon.

The problem is, there are a whole lot of PFAs that do a whole lot of things, and most of them aren’t food-related. You probably interact with them many times a day without knowing. We can’t solve that problem ourselves because we don’t know they’re there. If the path of entry to my body goes firefighting foam > ground water > me I can’t avoid that short of filtration. My water provider can though. I’ve traveled a lot to third world countries that have unsafe drinking water and I really don’t want that here, nor do I want to have to research everything I buy (ain’t nobody got time for that) knowing that even if I do, industrial uses I know nothing about are still causing it to end up in my water.

When we expect common people to solve a problem, we’re expecting everyone to know everything about everything. Again, ain't nobody got time for that.

I have the same criticism about a lot of environmental issues. Just yesterday someone in here was talking about their water use due to r/o filters and how we’d all have to be careful because if we all did whole home r/o we’d double our water use. Which may be true, but right now there’s one almond farm in a drought area in California somewhere that’s used more water this year than the entire HN audience could in several lifetimes.

The petroleum industry really figured this out when they promoted plastic recycling, knowing it wasn’t real, to make us feel like we could solve the problem personally rather than legislatively.

We can't and it is the same here. Your choices don’t amount to anything of significance compared to the large industrial choices you have no control over so the only answer is regulation.
Water with micro plastics and availability under threat due to climate change. Some places are already feeling it.

Food that’s hyperpalatable, full of sugar, and devoid of nutrition. Case-in-point, the obesity crisis.

Sure technology is great but the internet has fucked our brains. The tech industry repeatedly creates hype bubbles like crypto to make a buck. And don’t even get me started about AI.

Gender equality is far from resolved for both men and women. Women still have to deal with harassment and men are now expected to fulfill contradictory roles of being both a progressive feminist and a traditional masculine man.

Sure things are great when you oversimplify and ignore the bad parts.
Depends on how you frame it. Yes, there might be many cases where it's the driver's fault, but there are cases where the pedestrians were jaywalking and behaving in erratic ways.

I remember hearing a statistic (I can't find the source yet so please treat it as unverified) that a non-trivial proportion of pedestrians that were run over were intoxicated (the pedestrians, not the drivers).

I'm not saying this to assign blame to one party or another, just to refute the simplistic statement that it's just the drivers' fault.
* ... authentication via blinded signature tokens*

Hand waving, smoke and mirrors.

When the authentication and the service are both run by the same company on their servers, a huge potential exists for there to be nothing really "blind" about.

I agree but I wouldn't pin all the blame on the big C.

Marxism places a lot of emphasis on materialism, which was always one of the biggest targets for its critics. One man's profit is another's stolen labor value. Both systems of economic (that should be the clue here) thought are very materialist and don't do a good enough job assigning value to intrinsic motivation, believing in something, following a passion, etc.
I live a few 100 km east of there and just had a heat pump installed last fall. I still have to spend $800 a year on wood but now my home is 20 C all day every day and I no longer have to break the ice on the dog's water bowl in the mornings. I still fire up the stoves to keep hydro costs down and so far the hydro bills haven't been particularly different from previous years when I had to use supplementary electric resistive heat. Then again, it's been a particularly mild winter with zero days below -30.

I had a Moovair with three heads installed.
I'm confused because many water supply companies and municipal governments already use filter media that clean PFAS. My city for instance, upon looking tonight I see they use GAC filter media which is biologically active. Activated carbon filters are the industry standard for removing PFAS from the water supply.
There's only no clear answers because we're forced to take as axiomatic that suicide is "irrational". Once you stop genuflecting at this truism, and look at how completely stuffed young people are, it makes a whole lot more sense.

This is wrong on all points. GDPR quotes that directly contradict this below.

Quoting GDPR Article 4, point 1 (https://gdpr.eu/article-4-definitions/):

> ‘Personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

And Recital 30 (https://gdpr.eu/recital-30-online-identifiers-for-profiling-...), which gives some more examples of identifiable information such as IP addresses:

> Natural persons may be associated with online identifiers provided by their devices, applications, tools and protocols, such as internet protocol addresses, cookie identifiers or other identifiers such as radio frequency identification tags. This may leave traces which, in particular when combined with unique identifiers and other information received by the servers, may be used to create profiles of the natural persons and identify them.

There is also the quote from the Danish Datatilsyn (https://www.datatilsynet.dk/english/fundamental-concepts-/wh...) also makes some more examples and explicitly highlight that is is PII even when it must first be combined with other data:

> Personal data may, for example, include information on name, address, e-mail address, personal identification number, registration number, photo, fingerprints, diagnostics, biological material, when it is possible to identify a person from the data or in combination with other data. It is said that the information is “personally identifiable”.

---

An email address is obvious PII because it is a globally unique identifier representing a way of contacting a specific person. You can find the name of the owner separately and correlate it with your stored data, thus identifying the person.

Even if you store nothing else, the email reveals that you have an association with the user, but you most likely also have data that ties activity to the email such as the user logging in and using your service in any way or form.

> There are people who argue that just the name of a person is PII and they are wrong.

A person's name is the most obvious case of personally identifiable information.
I have found the official Mastodon client for iPadOS to be generally OK. What would I get using a web client like Phanpy? Thanks in advance for the information.
Hahahaha, the lack of features is a feature. All that shit is bloat, no thank you.
Installing heat pumps doesn't require a ton of domain knowledge (assuming you're already a handy person), but it's a lot of work. It took 3 guys who do it for a living 160+ man hours to install our mini-splits. They had to drill through walls, attach channels to the siding, crawl into a tight crawlspace, do some plumbing when they hit a water pipe with their drill, wire up electrical, and add breakers to the panel.

The only thing that might catch you up is designing the system and ensuring you right size it for your heat load requirements. I'm sure you could research this pretty well, but your HVAC guy might also be happy to consult on that portion.
> Recent Armenia vs Azerbaijan (supported by Turkey) war. More tension on border.

I completely missed the Armenia/Azerbaijan conflict, but from what I can tell, tensions there don't seem likely to pull many other countries into it. Curious if you have thoughts on that.

> Posturing in Africa by Russia, France, and China.

Can you explain why this would lead to a potential world war? Most of what I can find about this is foreign countries vying for economic influence, which seems unlikely to burst into conflict, especially one that would become a world war.
