Remember, you asked if "there'd be no controversy." I'm just examining the controversy, not universal truth.

I didn't tell you that you need to want or have kids. I do believe your life will have been pointless if you don't, but you're free (and likely) to disagree with that. Personally, I think "eternal life" as promised by some religions can be analogized as reproduction. If you think you've identified another biological purpose of life, that's good for you.

I don't know why you'd bring sexism into this; it takes two, and both sides are just as valuable. Having biological kids with someone means your DNA's going to be stuck together as a new person, so you want it to be someone you care about. It almost sounds like you're transgender yourself, but most transgender people I've spoken with about the topic would be thrilled to be able to have kids, especially MtF folks on the topic of carrying. I've certainly heard some say they don't care about it (and they have to come to peace with that, regardless), but I haven't heard of anyone saying not being able to is part of their identity.

This right here is part of the problem. You identified that I don't agree with you on the current state of things and picked a fight, rather than agreeing on working towards a place we'd both be happier with, anyway. (Or are you saying you specifically don't want transgender people to be able to have kids? Do you think there'd be something wrong with it if they were able to?) This entire line of argument would be irrelevant if science got to that point. But political and medical will is stalled arguing about half-measures instead. I know science is slow, but I just hope there will come a day when people can make decisions about their bodies without loss of reproduction being a concern-- and not talking about it won't get us there faster.

Your questions about autism and mental illness falls under "eugenics," which is kind of one of the major discussion points of this entire thread.
Strong emotional projection to inanimate objects is actually a disorder associated with hoarding, autism and OCD.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7044560/

Even then it's about things that someone actually owns and not something from a TV commercial.

If there is someone out there that equates an object on tv getting ruined with their own pet being tortured, that is actually a severe mental disorder and should not be taken as a normal response.

That would be a person unable to function on a day to day basis.

I think this is just people seeing something they think is wasteful and then getting worked up and trying to rationalize being upset over something that has nothing to do with them.
You are just kicking the can down the road. Then the tool would be the same random exe attack vector. Even then, if the tool is designed to run random game code then the gamecode is still an attack vector.

Trust in software is a huge issue, but that is a totally separate conversation.

> In the overwhelming majority of cases it's extremely straightforward to determine if the food is safe

It drives me nuts, but I have a lot of friends who will buy a bunch of bananas, let them go brown (not rot), throw them out, and then buy more bananas. Or throw out all of my store-bought kimchi, which makes no sense.
Yes, inductively coupling to something increases the load on the primary (or any transformer would be a free energy generator). If it were using only the heat differential between the conductor and the air, like a Stirling engine, then no. In fact, if it acted to cool the powerline, it would probably increase efficiency, to a microscopic degree. And at that point, you'd get better performance from a solar panel.

However, inductively stealing a drone-portable battery on any practical time scale would be all but imperceptible on a powerline at 100kV carrying 500 amps (50MW).

If it's a UHVDC line (or any kind of DC), inductive coupling won't work at all.
The real line and the complex plane have the same cardinality.
Yes, I mean slide rules. It's a bad habit I have. And yes, the one slide rule I have is the same model as the ones used by NASA astronauts.
I can’t tell what to make of that. It looks normal northern to me but people are saying it’s going to be visible in Alabama tonight.

I can't think of any cli tools with great UX :( usually the important tools have lots of obtuse commands, and the small neat tools only have a couple trivial options.

But here's some guidelines as you make your own tool: https://clig.dev/

I always appreciate tools with examples and a good help text. Also the ability to pipe with stdin/stdout if possible.
Why Not Document It – WNDI
With social cred. I mean, they got money, too, but "X set up Y and Z together and they've now been happily married for 30 years and have four kids, you should go to X" is a really strong recommendation (assuming that X has a lot of Y's and Z's to refer to when trying to sell you on the idea).
You can throw old tortilla chips and crackers into the air fryer and they come back out fresh.
Being really smart and inquisitive for 30 years .. I've been lucky that people paid me a lot of money to do whatever it took to make lots of different products work, at levels from extremely low to high. Just because people don't post their work to public archives doesn't mean they aren't working and learning all day. So this filter tends to catch people who are at second tier employers and are a bit bored

> exponential growth in input power over time because it's required for economic growth

It isn't. The amount of energy (and raw materials generally) required to produce a given amount of economic output is not constant. It gets smaller as technology advances. That offsets the effect of increased economic output. Indeed, as more and more economic output becomes information instead of physical objects, the average amount of energy required per unit of economic output will shrink even more.

Google Cloud accidentally deletes UniSuper's online account
The DX used to be outstanding for Vercel, but for any new micro-cloud product some story of github-to-deploy or even drag-folder-here is now table stakes; look at Cloudflare for example. Vercel still has the best website dashboard for the other parts of running a website that isn't just deployment.

One problem I saw with Vercel, and a reason why I steered people away, was that they were very slow to react to some of the challenges of serverless workflows, like building their own in-house services to reduce latency or allowing different kinds of serverless tiers for longer-lived workers. You could hit growing pains almost instantly.

> “If we can get consumers comfortable with the idea that there’s charging everywhere,” Abuelsamid said, “automakers can start to build EVs with smaller batteries”—which would mean cheaper electric cars.

No. No one wants an EV with useless range. No one wants to have to charge their car every 5 minutes.

EVs can't be worse than ICE vehicles. They need to be as good as ICE vehicles.
Isn't this just FOSS working as intended?

There are lots of distributions other than Debian.
Assuming you don't go so close that tidal effects tear the probe apart, the g-forces should only be those imposed by the probe's thrusters firing during the assist. When the thrusters aren't firing it's just in free-fall.
That argument is avoiding the point of contention though. It observes that sales can be behind a metric and a dev team likewise. So far so good, but that isn't the problem with the dev metric.

If the sales team lead started the quarter with an 8k goal and ended with 6k actual, they are a quarter closer to being fired. Their job is to hit the metric because the metric is in itself commercially important.

If a software team lead starts the quarter with milestones, tasks lists, and tests, and at the end of the quarter has pushed back a milestone for something unexpected of higher priority, did different tasks because that turned out to be more efficient and refactored the test suite to better reflect quality it isn't at all reasonable to use that as evidence they should be fired. A company that uses those things as a progress measure is going to be bad at software because it can't learn fast enough to pivot effectively. The company might fire the responsible lead anyway under the same logic as they used with the sales team lead, but that would result in them firing their high-performing leads who are more interested in good commercial outcomes than achieving bad metrics.

Some of the highest performing software team leads are happy pivot on a dime mid-quarter and call it a major success even if the initial targets were reasonable. There are no high performing sales team leads who think missing a reasonable target is a win. Acceptable, maybe, but not a win. This is a major problem for non-technical managers and means that milestones, tasks lists, and tests can't be used to track progress.
As a parent, bananas are by far the cheapest and easiest "healthy"(?) food to transport, prepare and get kids to eat. Maybe that has something to do with it.
I'm a former professional musician. Not being able to tell the difference between your own pet being tortured and an object on tv being destroyed in a commercial would be a severe mental disorder.

There was some comment about it. Basically, it's for security reasons. Those who aren't using those features wouldn't expect them to appear (especially sneakily). And those who are planning to use them will figure out what package to install.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=953529

This was the message from maintainers:

Networking and all plugins have been moved into
the keepassxc-full package.

Feature creep like SSH agent support, browser
integration, Freedesktop.org secret storage,
KeeShare pose undue risks for most users.
Sure, but then add the evolutionary path on top of that. We had hundreds of millions of years of dinosaurs and no evidence of intelligent life.

Then you've got to consider that Earth is basically approaching its twilight years. The planet is 4.5 billion years old, macroscopic multicellular life is 600 million to a billion years old. Humans have been around for 100,000 years. In 500 million to a billion years Earth will become uninhabitable again.

Oh and our sun is unusually stable.

Throw all of this together with an added "right type of huge planetary collision" and I feel like you're writing a lot more zeros into that probability.

Of course it's possible that life could take a different path, but there was a lot of opportunity on Earth and it took a long time to get there.

Yes, the article talks about the plug-in problems, but it also mentions that consumers are getting cold feet about other problems with the vehicles. There's no owner competition here, just people trying to make an informed decision. Besides, the Prius was a sort of entry level concept that went to production with mixed results. Hyundai is a much better example.
I wonder what would Langton's ant do on aperiodic hat monotile...
Something affecting Mormon fertility rates specifically is the dramatic increase in housing costs in the “Mormon Corridor” (the inter mountain us west strip of geography where most Mormons live). It’s simply too expensive for most young Mormon families to live the lifestyle they used to; with large homes and large families.

That area of the US has some of the most newly unaffordable areas in the country
I disagree.

There will be times where a game source code has been lost in the void... and then you get these godsend people who are able to reverse the game and recreate it.

Definitely save those recovery keys, because BitLocker loves freaking out after BIOS updates or minor hardware changes. I think I had to enter mine after a GPU firmware update.
The normal amount in disaster preparedness is 1gal per person per day. The problem with the larger amounts is that people see they need huge amounts and don't do anything. Better to get started storing 5-7 gal for each person.

The way to allow for extras is to store water for a longer length of time. If recommended value is two weeks, and it is in my area, then a month is a good buffer.
Like humans, multi-modal frontier LLMs will ignore "removal" as an impertinent typo, or highlight it. This, like everything else in the comment, is either easily debunked (e.g. try it, read the lit. on LLM extrapolation), or so nebulous and handwavy as to be functionally meaningless. We need an FAQ to redirect "statistical parrot" people to, saving words responding to these worn out LLM misconceptions. Maybe I should make one. :/

How difficult is to run a glorified BBS over HTTP/HTML like that?

Thank you, I appreciate even the one data point.

I'm a Windows user (and former Windows network administrator). I only use Linux as a target for containers, and rarely use a Linux terminal, so I know I'm not the right person to understand what Linux users want and need. I was a Unix admin in the late '90's for a couple of years, it was a bad enough experience to make me not want to be back in that world ever again. It's all subjective, of course.

I am pretty decent at designing UI's, and I hope Grace will be a non-terrible GUI for you (and for me).
From what I understand an industrial civilization would've left evidence that would've been found by now. Building ruins, mines, unnatural concentrations of certain elements that let us determine atmospheric composition etc.
That was magic for me the first time I transferred a file between computers. I didn't have to re-type my code! What a time to be alive.
It's always nice to see that RTK for-the-people is edging ever closer.

DIY kits from the likes of (no endorsement or vouching-for implied!) SparkFun and Ardusimple prove that the actual cost of basic entry to the tech is already under $2K, and probably under $1K.

It is a valuable ability for the average person to have available, because - whether we're talking about space, or time - everything benefits from accurate measurement.
Started building this product in 2020, so it’s actually been 4 years+.
Some medicinal compounds are hygroscopic and may go bad over time due to the permeability of moisture through the packaging. (Hence the use of metallized foils, which have nearly zero moisture permeability). Same for oxygen/oxidisation.

But yeah, depends on how far past expiry you go.
I built a similar tool in 2016 called Bugcam that does exactly this. It was also a chrome extension with the ability to tie console logs and network traffic to screenrecordings. Jam looks really polished and far more usable than the weekend hack I put together :) Well done!

The explanation for why OP built Jam was precisely the motivation I had for building Bugcam. I had transitioned to a team in Europe as part of an acquisition that had non-technical PMs filing bug reports. Their reports were completely nondescript and incredibly frustrating to decipher and repro.

I ended up abandoning the project due to other opportunities that came up. One interesting thing I noticed was that a significant percentage of users downloaded Bugcam to record themselves playing games for YouTube. Perhaps there was another opportunity there, but I decided not to pursue it.

Congrats on the product and best of luck Jam team!
Your comment makes me wonder if you read the article at all. Several of your concerns were addressed therein.

One a more general note, even accepting your arguments about subsidies and production conditions doesn't overcome the fact that a lot of the vehicles depicted here are just better designed and more interesting-looking than western (and Japanese) offerings.
Yes, 3,800+ stroke icons are open source.
“Your code ran succcessfully”. Will there be a spellcheck version for the software engineers that built the site?
This beauty talk really needs to think.

With the current status of research it's clear humans have a very problematic relation with what most people think the term means.

A new word should really be crafted to disambiguate.
I do collect rainwater! (In the summer months, at least.) Have a system cobbled together based on bluebarrelsystems.com

Though disaster preparedness and water efficiency are a bit at odds. For the former I'd want to keep all my barrels mostly full, but for the latter I want to keep them empty enough that rainfall events aren't overflowing them and wasting water.
I think they're saved to your Microsoft account by default now.

My prep kit is my camping gear

- water purification/iodide tablets
- Sawyer mini (life straw works too) to filter the water
- rations
- camping stove, white gas, waterproof matches, lighter
- I may or may not have a firearm and may or may not bring it when me and my non-white partner go camping in eastern Washington/forks ....
- Tanked water heater for potable water
- fire extinguisher (granted I leave that in the car when camping)
- poop bucket
- solar panel+back up battery, assuming they survive any issues with the storm. I'm hoping a townhouse has enough barriers to protect against radiation given I keep the camping gear in the basement

I should probably print out some maps of things like resoviors, ports, and other critical infra/services in my area at some point.
Storage Administration Guide – SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 [pdf]
You could enforce the process so that you only make code updates based on the documentation. So, if a new specification is requested, it must be made explicit in the documentation with a link to the issue next to it. Once the issue is closed, you can remove it from the documentation.

This may be cumbersome to some, but I find it to be effective since you’re also confirming the business logic before implementing it.
I bet it's partially that the money is good, and partially that the puzzles are enticing.
Behemoth sunspot unleashes biggest solar flare, radio blackouts on Earth [video]
I agree that network features and browser integrations are huge potential holes, but the contributors on the GitHub issue make a very good point when they say that there's minimal testing of the stripped-down build in comparison with the full build, and no testing at all of random combinations of build flags.

As noted elsewhere, one of the "optional" flags that got disabled is yubikey support, without which users are getting locked out of their password manager when they upgrade to the new, broken package. Enabling just that flag puts the project in a state which nobody is actually testing.

I agree that calling the package keepassxc-lite would have prevented this issue, assuming existing users were moved to keepassxc-full, but that's the entire problem here! It's a reasonable choice to default to the most secure solution (not that hypothetical attack surface is a real vulnerability), but as a maintainer you shouldn't break existing functionality unless either upstream or your users want you to, and you particularly shouldn't lock users out of their password manager.

Yeah, and I use them, but I still get paranoid. Maybe that's due to my lack of understanding of them, my mental model is that it still resembles string concatenation on the backend. Now that I type it out, that sounds wrong, so I probably need to take a look at that.
Whether his changes are good or not, it’s still pretty crazy to essentially fork an open source project, but publish your very different version under the same name.

I ran I to this backing up a SQLite DB where I wasn't deleting records: it would have been easier to sync a separate .ZIP of the files because it would have then been append-only.
I'm seeing quite a few recommendations for good shows in the comments, under an article about GITS and Mamoru Oshii, but surprisingly no one has brought up the two other fairly well-known (?) works: Angel's Egg and Urusei Yatsura 2. The first one just got the news about a 4k upgrade next year and first time Western release, while the other has few reasons to be a stand-alone movie of the same manga besides the main cast. Both are sometimes incredibly trippy and heady with the hypnotic 90s look, which seem to be much fewer in the modern anime but I haven't really kept up with new stuff these days as well as animation styles certainly evolve over time.
On the pricing aspect do viewers of Jam reports get charged as a seat or just the staff that are creating the Jam reports? Eg. if a Jam report is attached to a JIRA ticket does everyone who might ever need to view that report need to have a Jam license/login to view that information?
