Replying to my own comment here. I decided to list all of the top-level categories because it's something I'm kind of proud of, as it seems to be able to categorize anything I can throw at it:

agenda.: single file, my main TODO. I can also add `.agenda.` anywhere in any hierarchy to make a topic-specific agenda.

archive.: I just slap `archive.` on the front of any filename I want to archive.

con.: notes about concepts

cook.: my cookbook

film.: movies, shows, etc.. Contains both notes and actual films

game.: game notes, downloads, old versions, mod version archive, skins, settings exports, etc.

grp.: social groups, movements, governments, companies, religions, etc. Mostly notes from school and research from work, but some political stuff too.

home.: my house

inbox.: single note, anything can go in here for later processing if I'm feeling lazy

journal.: journal, organized by date (journal.2024.08.27). Hasn't been used in years.

lang.: languages of all kinds; spoken, programming, everything. There's `lang.lisp` next to `lang.latin`

lit.: literature, documents, etc.. Organized as `lit.author.series.document.chapter`. I have a lot of books.

log.: logs, never used this one actually

lore.: research about fictional worlds (I'm into worldbuilding)

meta.: about this collection

music.: playlist dumps, song downloads

ppl.: people

prod.: products

proj.: projects

school.: school stuff, organized as `school.institution.course.unit.chapter.assignment.document`

self.: me

social.: social media

soft.: software

sys.: my systems

veh.: my vehicles

Bonus:
I also have `woodheart.` for my worldbuilding project, which contains a copy of most of the above categories within it.

> How does US policy tangibly affect Canada? Outside of NAFTA, what else is there?

I think this is the wrong question, because U.S policy has many interactions with Canada (whether they're tangible or not is a valid question), but the point in my mind is how much of that is 1) Impactful enough for arbitrary Canadians, such that knowing about it would allow them to make different decisions or avoid negative outcomes 2) how many of what passes the first test makes it into news that people should be watching. Policy that impacts Canada is usually nuanced, detailed, esoteric, and you have to deliberately seek out fact-based documentation on it. If you're an importer/exporter, remote contractor, dual citizen, ya you should be doing that, but it's not likely coming from CNN or w/e.
I would ultimately prefer a system of small, local, community managed democratic syndicalism. But, if I have to live in a capitalist world I'd prefer to live in one where the people in power at least try to take care of people.

Ideally, no, it would be centralized in neither the wealthy nor the government. But I think "raise taxes" is an easier path to net good than "let's seize the factories and run federations of democratically run industries in the interest of the wellbeing of all".

We tried to annex them in 1812, but they were technically British so it doesn't count.
I don't think the situation is so clear-cut to be able to make categorical statements like that: server-side cheat prevention is also bypassable, and depending on how it is implemented, also has the potential for negative side effects. No matter what approach the developer takes, they're going to be making a trade-off of efficacy, player convenience, and developer effort, and that trade-off is going to be influenced by a lot of different things, such that client-side cheat prevention (or, likely, a mix of client-side and server-side measures) will be the most reasonable option in at least some circumstances.
From the document you linked:

> Taxpayers would be treated as illiquid if tradeable assets held directly or indirectly by the taxpayer make up less than 20 percent of the taxpayer’s wealth. Taxpayers who are treated as illiquid may elect to include only unrealized gain in tradeable assets in the calculation of their minimum tax liability.

Which seems to suggest that if someone's wealth is mostly tied up in property or art or a private business, then they wouldn't be taxed on unrealized gains.

This comes up every time but there’s three criterion for CRDTs and git fails 2 of them. Even ignoring the requirement for automatic conflict resolution (which git can’t meet since automatic resolution fails as a matter of course) and ignoring that the conflict resolution algorithm has to be part of the data type (it’s not), it fails the requirement that separate different copies must eventually converge when brought online but that’s demonstrably false as people may use different conflict resolution mechanisms AND the commit graph of a resolved conflict may itself then be different resulting in different histories from the process of brining git online.

This is because the commit graph itself isn’t CRDT. If I commit A and then B but someone’s clone only has B applied, you can’t synchronize even automatically; different git histories don’t resolve in any way automatically at all and once you pick a solution manually your copy will not have the same history as anyone else that tries to redo your operations.

No true Scotsman doesn’t apply here because there is a very precise definition of what makes a CRDT that is a clear delineating line.

The US is by far Canada's main trading partner, with 66% of Canadian foreign trade being with the US. It exports 17 times as much to and imports 4 times as much from the US than its next largest trading partner, which in both cases is China. Many companies operating in Canada are American owned, and many Canadian companies have a significant presence in the US as well. The Canadian financial sector is heavily integrated with the US.

Canada and the US are close military allies. They share the world's only binational military command (NORAD) which is responsible for air defense of both countries. Canada has joined many US led military operations including Korea, Afghanistan, and both Gulf Wars. The US strongly influences military procurement in Canada, with Canadian units designed to be seamlessly interoperable with US forces.

The US and Canada share the world's longest border, which is rather porous. Large numbers of citizens of each nation travel to the other frequently, and many people have family on the opposite side of the border. Many Canadians live for an extended period of time in the US for education or employment.

Basically any economic, military, or immigration policy change in the US is going to have a huge impact on Canada.

Does it not? The entire developed world seems extremely destabilized right now. Old-line Conservative, Labour, and Liberal parties have either been defeated by, or are under serious threat from, populist-nationalist and leftist parties throughout the West [1]. The only thing these latter groups have in common is populist rhetoric and a sense of "I'm not getting my fair piece of the pie".

The existence of the modern welfare state owes its genesis to this idea, courtesy of (amazingly) Otto von Bismarck of all people, probably the most consummate and effective conservative of his time. Bismarck was not at all subtle about his reasoning:

> Give the working-man the right to work as long as he is healthy, assure him care when he is sick; assure him maintenance when he is old. If you do that, and do not fear the sacrifice, or cry out at State Socialism directly the words “provision for old age” are uttered,—if the State will show a little more Christian solicitude for the working-man, then I believe that the gentlemen of the Wyden (Social-Democratic) programme will sound their bird-call in vain, and that the thronging to them will cease as soon as working-men see that the Government and legislative bodies are earnestly concerned for their welfare.

I might not think this is the right reason to be concerned about inequality, but he's right about the realpolitik: a state whose subjects feel the state does not act in their interest have little reason to defend or support the state and all the reason in the world to attack it, or at least that is going to be their perception.

[1] Yes, even the recent UK and French elections are an example. Labour's vote share was not very high - but the Conservatives, in the process of being supplanted by the more-nationalist Reform, split the right-wing vote such that Labour could win a share of seats far exceeding what you'd expect for its minimal vote share. In France, Macron's centrists still lost to a left-wing party, and that was after an extraordinary alliance of parties to block Le Pen's RN, which would likely have been the largest party without such maneuvering.
> Personally, I have never seen a case where tattoos improved someone's health, or appearance for that matter.

This is subjective. "Health" here might be taken to include mental health, in which case there could be many positive benefits.

That said, there are some objectively bad health outcomes that can come from getting tattoos [1, 2]. Not that they necessarily will.

It's a bit deeper than this...

First of all, Blitzortung is as far as I can tell independent, volunteer-based and thus open for everyone to use, support and feed with data. It is also real-time (or at least max 10-15 seconds of latency).

There are however drawbacks:

- The hardware is relatively expensive (relatively because when you compare it to ham or professional RF tech, it is in fact dirt cheap :(), so there's a barrier for entry into the network if you would like to cover your area. Add to that having an appropriate place for the antennas.

- There seem to be issues that make the default visualisation of lightning strikes as points on the map dubiously accurate. The example I notice most often is that whenever a lightning discharges in a cloud as opposed to the ground, it often gets detected as several lightning strikes. This may be as simple as adding the equivalent of error bars to each detection, but I am not any kind of authority on the matter.
don't worry, our current society is destroying way more species than those old fossils ever did!
I knew people who somehow missed the information that fractions are the same as division. So they could e.g. reduce the fraction 40/20 to 4/2, then after thinking about it longer also to 2/1, and... then had no idea what to do next.

For me it was completely mind-blowing, how someone could do fractions without understanding what they are? But I imagine, at school they probably could solve some problems, couldn't solve others, got C, moving on to the next lesson.
I'll read it, but I won't write to it. Too much work and shitty reactions. It seems like it's all one-ups-manship now... and not due to some engineering excellence cultural reason, but for the fucking points/rep. There's no sense of community there.

i read it when i was 18 and taking motel reservations in a call center. it has 27 chapters totaling 304 pages, thus averaging 11.3 pages per chapter. you can read a chapter each night before bed in 15 minutes and you'll be done by october. doing the exercises will take you longer, of course, and probably require you to sudo apt install texlive (i didn't have a computer to do that on)

> Having said housing problem comes from lack of developments more than anything.

I would argue it's more to do with the various incentives encouraging the financialisation of property. Low interest rates, discounted capital gains rate, negative gearing, lack of regulation around short term rentals, etc.

Ultimately, with the proven lack of political will to address these incentives, I believe that the only thing that will fix this problem is sustained higher interest rates.
Right, so the point was all this handwaviness about how bloated Boeing's costs are in this space are just wild guesses at what SpaceX's might be.

For all anyone actually knows, Elon is willing to lose a ton per launch just to gain mindshare, kill the competition, and become the only game in town. You know, the Amazon playbook.

For all anyone knows, the Boeing quotes are reasonable and SpaceX's are unsustainable. Nobody actually knows... yet so many are willing to confidently assert SpaceX is obviously cheaper.

> What is reasonably certain is that they likely will be profitable once they're not spending crazy amounts of money on development

This is a space race. The day when SpaceX no longer needs to spend "crazy amounts of money on development" may never actually come.

Good write up that wonderfully encapsulates how stupid Microsoft’s naming is - you didn’t even mention .NET standard.

I love .NET. It’s a great stack, especially for backend web apps. Blazor is a great SPA framework too. But I loathe how Microsoft continue to handle just about everything that isn’t the framework and C# / F#. It’s laughable.
This is cool! I would use it if it had CalDAV sync (or the subset that lets you do lists, tags, recurrence, notes) so I could sync it with Tasks.org on android.
I do. I provide housing units at the cost of maintenance. I believe profiting from rent is deeply unethical. My renters have paid basically for their share of heating, electricity, water, sewer, and wear and tear on the building itself.

But I cannot house the thousands of unhoused people in my city alone. I can provide housing for 2-5 of them at any given time.

That said, do you know what offering housing for a couple hundred bucks a month does for a struggling family? It fundamentally changes their ability to establish themselves. Build savings, escape poverty.

Edit: I'm not trying to signal or whatever by posting this. I have ethical beliefs about supporting one's local community and try not to be hypocritical about it. When people challenge me, suggesting I might be hypocritical ("why don't you spend your own money on it!") I try to respond with, "I do. And I see the changes it makes in real human lives."

But always as a response to someone trying to call me out, never unprompted.
More specifically, he was born in Africa and neither one of his parents was a US citizen. While all past presidents were born in the USA, it hasn't yet been definitively ruled that you must be born on US soil to be a "natural born Citizen", and my understanding is that you likely don't, you just need to have been a US citizen at birth rather than naturalized later.
You're using the instantaneous numbers, which matters for the peak (because if you hit 48 GW for just one hour you still have to meet the demand) but not the trough (because having overcapacity for a negligible number of hours a year is fine). The real base demand number for California is ~24 GW:

Which is a pretty sizable fraction of 48 (not that 16 wasn't).

.NET Core is available for Debian, you just have to add Microsoft's APT source [1].

Fedora [2], Ubuntu [3], and FreeBSD [4] build .NET from source themselves. A lot of work has been done to make it possible to build .NET from source [5] without closed source components, so it might just be a matter of someone being motivated to create the package for Debian.

> You're less than half as likely to get in as a man.

This is a bit of a misunderstanding of how statistics works. This does not reflect your personal chances of being accepted, only the chances of the subset of men who applied. You are assuming that all the men were equally qualified as the women and there were no other distinguishing characteristics between the two groups.

For instance, if there is a pre-selection process for one group that there was not for another it could skew the numbers significantly and make one group much smaller with a higher acceptance rate.

While the percentage differences could indicate bias against men, it could also indicate something else.
