> The depending on purity is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, to the point where I would say it's misleading.

Not really. The range of prices doesn't change by multiple orders of magnitude. At small quantities the cost of the ancillary equipment might be as much as the gas. I guarantee you they're not buying $5000 of pristine gas per client.

One of the hardest parts of dealing with Xenon is getting the last little bits of Krypton gas out. Very small doses of Krypton gas are inert and not really a health issue. The research grade Xenon has to be higher purity because many experiments rely on it being the only gas present.

> No one is going to go up Everest with anything below medical.

Companies who do Everest expeditions vary greatly. There's a lot of history of bad behavior among companies around Everest. Just because it's expensive and their clientele is wealthy, you shouldn't assume they're operating according to the highest standards. There's a long history of badly behaving companies around Everest.

> It’s mind boggling because the same people who lambasted Trump for lowering the corporate tax rate

I never lambasted Trump for this and I don't think corporate taxes are particularly effective. I'd rather see something more on the "backend" of earning money like payroll or incomes taxes rather than corporate taxes. They seem like a huge drain for little gain. Especially since rates vary across countries so a corporation could move and game tax structures internationally.

All your arguments about carbon impacts, making things in the U.S. are fine but the whole Trump campaign was railing on how bad inflation has gotten but tariffs would have the worst inflationary impact on everyone. That and Republicans typically don't care about workers' rights or environmental impact so that seems a bit disingenuous to bring up.

Plus, there doesn't seem to be a solid foundation on why we want to bring back manufacturing to the U.S. since we generally want to strive for making more high tech stuff, no? If we suddenly start making lower-level widgets, where are we going to find enough workers to do that without a big influx of immigrants? Immigrants already work the jobs that Americans don't like farm hands.
I hate the UI layer, for this reason. Nothing is ever stable. I'm looking for "Boring" and "Googleable in the age of AI slop". The other alternative are frameworks small enough to easily comprehend.

The UI is often tangential to the heavy lifting done by the back end. It often needs to be "just good enough".
I will tell you what I told my colleague as to whether I am sad that having a big dog prevents family reunions or boyfiends coming over. Sometimes things just work out in our favor.
I've had 3 cars totaled by dealers and none totaled by indy shops. One was actually messed up by them beyond repair. One was messed up and they wanted more to fix it well beyond the replace cost. The final one just wanted well beyond the replace cost, and I got it fixed for much much less at an indy shop.

Just find a good indy shop. there's a great one 2 blocks from my house at a gas station. discusses all repairs with you, good on preventive maintenance, 1/4 the price of a dealer. Will tell you what repairs you actually need to do and what you don't. Also easier to schedule and pick up and drop off. I have to wait at the mega dealer near me like 15-30 minutes at drop off and pick up. At least the toyota one will let you defer your car wash instead of waiting for it longer. At the gas station I drop the car in the lot and drop the keys in a mailbox. For pickup I go in any day till 10 and pay like I'm buying an energy drink, grab the keys and walk out to the lot to grab it.

> Better tooling is an exponent to our productivity

Nix & NixOS have made me much more productive. Maintaining a desktop is effortless. If something breaks, I can simply reboot to a previous installation. I can also try software without installing, and develop parallel projects relying on dependencies that would be mutually incompatible in a regular imperative package manager.

But I recognize that if you need to do something slightly unusual, documentation is incomplete and scattered. For simple things, my contrarian view is that Nix is not hard at all. The subset of Nix I use can be learned in a couple of hours. I think the trick is to avoid getting sucked into packaging complex software with messy build systems. If the stack you use is well packaged in NixPkgs, it's a joy to use. If it's not, it's better to stay away.
As others have said, you are reinventing the Static Site Generator. I would strongly urge you to look into those.

If you know Python well enough, my recommendation is Pelican.[1] You can author your posts in Markdown. You specify the desired HTML/CSS. It will then do all the boring work for you. Then just upload the static files to a webserver.

This would probably more affect the mastodon.social instance rather than the Fediverse as a whole. But since that instance is so huge, a lot of the spam and abuse comes from there.
I agree with you 100% on the “should”. Companies should behave well. However, they are still profit maximizing machines, so one way to get what we want is to change the system of rewards and punishments such that profits are maximized while we still maintain a livable planet.

What I’m suggesting is to punish bad behavior and reward good behavior.

Every time a company is hacked, they pay into an annual pool. Every company which isn’t hacked receives money from that pool.

CO2 emissions are taxed, which goes into a pool. This pool is used to pay companies that scrub emissions.

I’m wondering if these incentives can work to increase life expectancy, decrease child mortality, eradicate diseases, etc.

Without better incentives there is no reason not to burn down the planet for a dollar. Of course it is not a panacea, it still requires some social trust.
>"He defines wokeness as “An aggressively performative focus on social justice.” By doing this, he concedes that the woke are correct (implying that differences between groups are a problem worth solving), but just thinks the way they’re going about it is the problem. "

I generally agree with Erik here, but to some extent both of these people are missing part of the point, or at least the severity of it. Wokeness is an anti-equality movement that aims to take away rights from already disadvantaged and marginalized people.

For example, in Australia, it's now illegal to have any single-sex gay spaces or meetings. Gay dating apps are banned because trans people demand access. Lesbian bars and parties are illegal because woke people call exclusive same-sex attraction "bigotry". A man sued a lesbian dating app to gain access and won. Gay people now have to have their meetings - both online and in person - in secret again, like they did 50 years ago, because woke people have successfully campaigned against gay people having rights.

Children are sterilized and mutilated because woke people are willing to risk someone's life to make sure they fit precisely into one of two 1950s gender norm boxes, and if anyone doesn't conform they'll come after them with a scalpel. Yarden Silveira died in agony at the age of 23 with his intestines spilling out of his fake vagina onto a hospital bed because woke people told him he wasn't allowed to not conform to a gender box, and had to get surgery to fit into one.

Male rapists are placed in women's prisons, because woke people fought for the "right" for male rapists to be locked up with women so they have access to more victims to rape. Women's sports doesn't exist anymore because woke people demanded that men can cheat by competing in the women's division.

Woke people tell young gay and autistic people they were born in the wrong body and have to mutilate it or kill themselves. My friend (a lesbian) was manipulated into going on testosterone by woke groomers and regrets it but can never undo the damage to her body.

Woke people are the bad guys, NOT the good guys.

Well I guess I don't see how a manager can determine if someone is "underperforming relative to what is reasonably expectable" without the issues I mentioned in my first post, namely that there is no objective way to make that determination. Managers will mostly be incentivized to determine that no one is ever underperforming relative to a firing standard. And maybe it wasn’t clear, but at my previous company, those evaluations were not just used for promotions, but also who to PIP.

There is also the more philosophical question of where that standard would come from in the first place. And what if the business finds that the average applicant meets a much higher standard than the current firing standard of the company? It would seem to then make sense to raise the company's own firing standard.

How would the clients tell if the account has a valid sub change or not if the only piece of information provided is that the sub claim changes? For this particular attack, without having some kind of Google Workspace account identifier for the domain, the sub claim doesn't sound sufficient to validate that it's the same Google account from the client's side. I'm guessing the engineer at the major tech company didn't provide that stat without checking if those users were valid, active accounts.

Ultimately it's your decision, and I guess Discord is probably easier to manage. Just consider that with Discord the discussions and knowledge that build up on the server don't really belong to you.

Why write redundant code? I just depend on an external is-even library, which depends on an is-odd library ;)

I am someone who was raised with a very similar set of values. I was homeschooled, and often believed that "public-schooled" kids had a worse, more limited set of values. I was not allowed to use computers till I was in 11th grade, and dove into reading as an alternative. Very little screen time, but I ended up with a lot of issues that did not even begin manifesting until I was an adult. I would urge you to re-examine your beliefs around this topic. It is too easy to elide the issues by reframing them as "a bit of arrogance". Based on my own experience, listening to the people around me, they are not experiencing it as "a bit" of arrogance. It is too easy, almost intoxicatingly so, to believe that you are better than those struggling. As long as you frame your own struggles as unique, you will deprive yourself of both 1) commiseration and 2) knowledge on how to progress past. Rather than say "everybody who sought solutions to their issues had issues", ask the question "how many people that did have issues did not seek solutions".

I have a pretty elaborate Hakyll site with custom routers and all kinds of junk (https://dpitt.me), but it's an old site that started as Django, then I built it from scratch with Sinatra, and then was Jekyll for years. There really is something special about a well-organized static site. For all the rewrites of this old thing, I can't imagine moving away from static site generation.
I wish we could say this was unexpected, but to his credit Trump clearly outlined he would do once in office... repeatedly. So, I guess we all need to buckle up for a wild ride :-). The next four years might or might not be good, but they certainly will be interesting.
Trump gives Seth some great material for tonight's show - looking forward to it.
A hitman is motivated to murder and has that intent.

Insurers are motivated to eliminate waste, which is absolutely rife in the US health care industry; insurers are getting continually worked over by hospital chains, which take in something like 9 times as much money as insurers and have 3-5x their profit margins.

I don't think the analogy is salvageable. Even if the point I just made wasn't true (it is), you'd have run aground on the distinction between wanting and intending to kill someone and not. But the flaws run much deeper than that. Respectfully, you should stop saying this.

1. Unbelievable layer reuse out of the box. Each Nix build output is placed in its own layer, including your binary (up to a max of 120 or so layers). Rebuilding the image will only result in the final layer changing, which minimizes work on image push.

2. Everything is pinned to nixpkgs, including dependencies. Anyone who builds this image will get the exact same versions (vs. apt-get update in a Dockerfile pulling a more recent version). It’s just sqlite in this case, but you can imagine how it would work with more dependencies.

3. It is trivial to build a “FROM scratch” image - in fact, that’s the default behavior in Nix, because Nix implicitly includes all runtime dependencies alongside your binary. This is less of a challenge with Go, but YMMV with other languages.

4. You can define your entrypoint script - or any other one-off script - in-line. Not a huge advantage, but still quite useful.

There is even an alternative pattern that allows you to reap these same benefits directly in your Dockerfile:

Haha that’s fair. There are unwritten sidewalk walking rules that tourists and new transplants don’t always know. Once you start thinking of the sidewalk as a place that commuting takes place it makes a little more sense — people are late for work and that tourist walking while looking up or another with their face stuck in their phone is like a car driving 30 in the leftmost lane.

I do agree that our sweet here in NA is sweeter. From a taste perspective however, it's a lot about whatever you are used to, like you say.

After more than a year of Keto and not having had any bread, I ate some wheat bread again for the first time. Nothing sweet on top. Just bread (with butter on top). It tasted sweet! And it wasn't even your typical North American floppy toast white bread but just regular, proper wheat bread like you might eat in France in your neighborhood corner bakery (here they usually call it "artisan bread" now).

That sweetness went away really quickly after eating bread more regularly again but it surprised me nonetheless and makes your point on getting used to things.

Another NA example is cup cakes. There are cup cakes and then there are US cup cakes. I really don't like cup cakes at all. I avoid them. It's a tiny bit of cream with a ton of sugar. Just disgusting. They do the same with actual cakes. You can't buy a proper cake with cream based frosting and some tactful addition of sugar. It's a tiny amount of cream with a load of sugar on a tasteless body of (in many cases overly dry) sponge cake.

> Now you need to remember this is not a metal panel it is a 1.6mm thick fibre-glass one, it does the job, but it wont take much abuse like a metal one will and flexes a little when handling it.

That's when you design in a PC board stiffener. These are just pieces of metal, U-channel, L-channel, or solid bar, to add some structural strength. Cheap and easy, but rarely seen in hobbyist work. Any board with buttons or knobs or connectors unsupported for more than a few inches should have some stiffening. You have to allow space for stiffening bars when designing the board, and you need to place screw holes.
I was also a bit skeptical of the article's claim that oral languages don't have as many relative classes. The only example of a 'European' oral tradition given is Norwegian, which as many people know is quite distant from other European languages more obviously in the Romance or Germanic families. Being exclusively oral is just one of many features of indigenous American languages; why pick on that as the reason why their grammar is different rather than mere geographical and linguistic distance from Europe?

Your example of Chinese is a good one. The aesthetic appeal of four-character combinations seems to have been adopted by Japanese, which uses these constructs for bureaucratic or legal terms, whereas colloquial Japanese speech might use a relative clause instead - exactly the opposite situation to what the article describes!
TIL, thank you for sharing that.

Btw, I'm trying hard to think of places (today) where "Voice" works. For instance, in a corporate setting, I can personally attest that it does not.

I genuinely don't understand this. It's not like he didn't know that media can be biased. In fact, he has railed against it incessantly. I would pay good money to hear Trump's argument if someone pointed out that Fox news is the same, except in reverse.

My son is 4.

He's never used a screen in any significant way. No movies / TV / cellphones / iPads.

My spouse and I read to him a lot. A chapter or two a night from one of the Oz books (there are dozens of them, we're on the 8th one) or something similar.

Results so far? He has a very wide vocabulary, loves learning about the world around him and has almost zero interest in screens.

I hope that by the time he reaches social media age (whatever that is) that the fad has passed and people move on to something less toxic. Even if not, we'll make sure he's in lots of social groups and camps where the focus is doing things rather than spending time on a device.
