Their half-life is shorter than a day. On the same magnitude of SO2.

The one of CO is indeed much smaller.

While this is a lot of water, but as a point of comparison typical golf course uses about 100-200 million gallons of water a year. It's still a drop in the bucket compared to agriculture.

Are you saying you're using a debian VM on your Mac as a daily driver? Running i3wm and Firefox and ultimately living in Linux, but on your Mac? Does that mean you never have to use MacOS much (beside upgrading the host mac OS, and launching the VM right after boot)? If that's your setup I would love to hear more about it, the pros and the cons.
As time passes, some of the liquid content escapes through the shell and evaporates, being replaced by air, increasing its buoyancy.

As a C++ dev in Germany, experienced this firsthand. They make you do some truly ridiculous tests, and in the end 130k isn't that far off from somewhere like Maxon where you actually do interesting work. Having spoken to others who applied, both in person and via easily found reddit thread on r/cpp, 100% certain I would have been absolutely miserable there, and everyone mentions the CTO.
So would a company be justified in setting a cap of 1.7% for Jewish employees? Or how about setting a quota - or "inclusion goal" or "diversity milestone" or whatever other euphemism - of 98.3% for gentiles. After all, it's just correcting the disparity.

Disparities that arise due to discrimination are a problem, and should be ameliorated by eliminating the discrimination. Anonymize applications, make zoom interviews blinded and voices masked. I'd be totally behind that.

Disparities that arise due to differences in preferences are not to be "corrected". Some cultures prize doctors more than others, "correcting" that disparity isn't eliminating discrimination, it's perpetrating it. "Correcting" software development roles to be closer to 50/50 male and female is no less sexist than setting gender quotas on pediatrician mandating fewer women in the field.
It doesn't screw anyone, the vast majority of people eat meat in almost every country. Vegetarians yield near zero power.

StackOverflow is destroying its brand one step at a time. ChatGPT is good for boilerplate and generic errors. I still use SO for complex errors that are still getting updated with new ways to solve that said error, etc...

Without the community posting and answering questions, ChatGPT won't work anymore. They (SO) have to block any scrapping, wait until GPU prices go down, or use open-source LLMs with their data and figure out how to monetize that service (maybe giving some percentage to devs, etc...) or even check if that approach (add a chatbot service) makes sense.

They just caved to the FOMO mentality without considering that tech is always evolving and they need engineers, dev, etc... to keep finding out bugs, writing about their experiences on how they solved those errors, etc...

We'll see if a different contender figures this out and comes out with that solution if SO doesn't change its course.
Profit- vs cost-center is pretty ingrained into a company's management DNA, for all companies.

From top-down perspective, it's a question of "If I +$1 to this department, what +revenue do I realize?"

In non-tech companies, that's a long or abstract link: "How does funding SWE help me sell more furniture?" In tech product companies, it's trivially obvious.

Tl;dr - always work for a profit center, never work for a cost center.

We recently sold the digital piano after 3 years of playing on it and replaced it with a traditional piano (an upright). It's true that a digital piano works for beginners. But for someone with dedication, they outgrow digital pianos extremely quickly.

EDIT: it actually depends on what you play. We usually play traditional pieces, especially those by Chopin so a digital piano definitely doesn't cut it.
> and autotype

I would go crazy w/o autotype. The way the IT dorks were forced by management to set up 'SSO' via an external provider at work, you have to enter the same information at least 3 times a day. 'SSO' for management means 'sign into each of our tools each single day'. Muh, no work done equals better security!
Users should be asked if they actually wanted the features in the existing package after all? Why shouldn't users have been asked before changing the existing package?

The same project has an application called Gum which exposes primitives from their UI framework via a single CLI binary. It's intended to be used from a normal bash script and I've found it really quite pleasant to use.

For example, you could write 'gum choose foo bar baz' to get a nice picker over the three provided options.

Their repo has a ton of examples: https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum

Should applicants for citizenship to Germany be required to sign a written statement "acknowledging the right of Russia to exist"? Or the People's Republic of China, say?

That's what at least one version of the test (in Saxony-Anhalt) requires -- except that it happens to apply to a certain other random country (Israel). But hey, if you're a fan of McCarthyist loyalty oaths of this sort, then I suppose this is the kind of thing you like.

It would also make you complicit in a form of antisemitism -- in that it denies the right of Orthodox Jews (some of whom are fundamentally opposed to the current State of Israel because it preempts the coming of the Messiah) to be true to their own views and identity in regard to this matter. BTW this is an opinion based on deeply held religious views, not on any political standpoint per se.

Apparently the yahoos who came up with this law don't feel these people have a right to express their deeply held views in accordance with what they see as Jewish Law. And they certainly don't think such people -- the "wrong kind" of Jews, I guess -- should be welcome in Germany.

You may now thank the "woke crowd" for saving you from this particular form of authoritarian (and antisemitic) nonsense.

> This only applies to things that we don't have knowledge about. Everyone knows about iPads already.

I actually agree with the comment saying people have almost forgotten about iPads.
It has nothing to do with time zones. People can deal with weird time keeping practices, but distributed software systems can become completely borked. It's happened before in all sorts of different ways. Transaction order can get messed up. Event queues can drop or duplicate events. Obviously, it's a big problem, otherwise people wouldn't be so intent on getting rid of them. And having a leap hour instead of a leap second would be a whole order of magnitude worse, especially if it occurs after hundreds or thousands of years of people writing software that's oblivious to the phenomenon.

But completely getting rid of leap seconds for UTC is misguided. We already have TAI, which is literally just UTC without leap seconds. If leap seconds are messing with your system, just use TAI. Don't make UTC a slightly worse version of TAI.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

You get much more efficiency out of the system when you lose the water to evaporation. It takes all of the heat with it.

I know some data centers are experimenting with closed loops or wastewater systems, but while water is still priced so cheap in the US they are not in a huge rush.

> calling your upstream "crappy"[0] is probably not the most productive way for package maintainer to act

This is so incredibly rude to post on the github it'd make me reconsider using Debian at all if I did. If the package is so full of "crappy" features why is he even bothering to maintain it? Just get rid of it and let users figure out how to install it properly themselves.

I feel bad for KeepassXC devs, maintaining an open source project is hard enough without having to deal with crap like this.

Is it though? I can run Windows programs from 20 years ago on my Windows machine just fine.

Issues with Linux binary distribution meanwhile are ubiquitous, with glibc probably being the single biggest offender. What's worse is that you can't even really statically link it without herculean effort. I've spent an inordinate amount of my life trying to wrangle third-party binaries on Linux libraries and it's just a sorry state of affairs.

Try taking a binary package from a vendor from even just 5 years ago and there's a non-zero chance it won't run on your modern distro.
Came here to recommend this. This podcast is a good overview for RenTech and their other episodes are good for other companies. Especially the Nintendo series.

They also did an interview with Charlie Munger right before he died. They have good...timing, for sure.

Firefox, for one, technically supports "popping out" part of a page's content into a separate OS-level window. It exposes that functionality through the XUL <panel> and <menupopup> elements, which are only available to privileged [X]HTML being rendered in the browser's main process. I doubt that any browser developer would want to give ordinary web pages the ability to create borderless OS windows.
Sorry, why do maintainers owe us anything? They’re typically unpaid or poorly paid and are doing everyone a favour. The code is open source and anyone who doesn’t like their work can easily fork the project. They don’t need to justify anything to us

The distinction between the two scenarios is the original, theoretical scenario did not foresee the negative feedback loops that actually occurred. It's a pretty glaring miss when you're trying to make predictions.

This is why I was always skeptical of dystopias that depend on overpopulation. If life is so miserable why would people continue to have so many children?

That is insane. Like, completely insane, shouldn't-be-possible insane.

I guess the theoretical limit to how much money you could make in the market is "the sum of all volatility", but I wonder how realistically possible it would be to even dream of beating 62% yearly.
Somehow, I have been using the same app without any of those features. So, the idea that the app is not functional or useful without them is bullshit.

As for friction leading indirectly to less security through user behavior... how many clicks and how many seconds is it to install the full version?
So, yet more bullshit.
This exactly. There are many other ways to express "squeezing into one" but both bizarrely and shockingly Apple (or whichever ad agency) went for "crushing with hydraulic press" instead. How did everyone miss on the negative undertone before this ad was released?

Could be extrapolating this incident too much but it feels it encapsulates the transformation of Apple from this quirky, unconventional upstart into a monopolistic leviathan the past 2 decades. There's also a sense of hubris at suggesting your single electronic device can replace all those creative tools.
I've had good success with that on my M2 mini, just installed Steam inside it and then let it do its thing behind the scenes.

The only hard failure I've hit (admittedly with a small sample size) was The Talos Principle, which has an intel Mac version that won't run on the M2, and running through Whisky immediately errored as well.

Agreed. Wondering how many of those things were real and got crushed was distressing.

The Milky Way alone has about 2.5 × 10^11 stars. The Andromeda Galaxy has around 10^12. Let's take 0.5 × 10^12 stars on average per galaxy.

There are about 2.5 × 10^11 galaxies in the observable universe.

This gives us around 10^23 stars in the universe to fiddle with. Assume every star has an average of 2 planets; some have more, some have none.

This is a pretty large number to trim down.

I'd argue the Drake equation is excessively conservative. Note that when microbial life first emerged on Earth 4.1 billion years ago, the Earth's atmosphere was rather reducing, and the Sun was around 30% less luminous than it is today. There was free water, but no free oxygen, and an extremely high-pressure CO2 atmosphere.

The universe is arguably extremely young; the longest-lasting stars will only burn out around 10^13 years from now, and the universe is barely 10^10 years old. It's fair to say that many sun-like stars haven't even formed yet.
I don’t think passing auth to the database is crazy. It’s almost an exact parallel to filesystems, which everyone is fine with.

It’s far weirder to me is that the accepted status quo is to run transactions as a user that can read anything, and then try to have the app filter out stuff the user shouldn’t see.

Just make the transaction run as a user that only has permissions to read what you want, and stop worrying about whether your auth system handles edge cases.

This status quo is like having a filesystem where everything is owned by root, then writing a Fuse driver that lets users read those file by trying to infer permissions from the path. It’s a weird thing.

I’ve always assumed the reason databases had such poor access control (or little usage of the good access control) was because it was too slow in ye olden days when disks were slow, clock cycles were limited, and read replicas were not yet common.

In the modern world, I don’t know why anyone would prefer that their database can leak data in SQL injection attacks. The costs seem low, and the benefits seem high.

Depends on who is consuming your API. Are they internal, maybe ok. Anything else, you likely need a transformation layer and also take into account Auth, rate limiting etc. PostgREST sounds like giving read only access to your DB and I doubt it would be as customizable.
GUIs are nice for exploration because you can (in principle) intuitively iterate through the application behaviors, but command line interfaces are far superior when you already know what you're doing.
