I'm not sure if a movement like this is about being logical so much as making a statement about pollution in general but I feel that going after cars of oil executives would send the best message

I agree with you, but I've definitely met people who play it like a combat game

Or with doing what he claims at all. All I can think is that the company hasn't even ironed out how to make self driving cars as safe as they claim and also refuses to take responsibility for harm caused in a public way - how will this be any different when it inevitably hurts someone?

For me the type of exercise determines if I'm hungry or not. Heavy core work pretty much eliminates my appetite for hours

I don't know if my own anecdote will help you but I've been overweight since I was a child and I've done just about every diet under the moon. I used to hate myself and my body, a lot. I went to the gym three days a days week pushing myself hard and counted calories, and my weight wouldn't budge. I ended up developing a lot of disordered eating doing fasting and I really thought I could hate myself into being thin. When I finally found keto and it worked, I started dropping weight and I quickly lost control of my diet and started to starve myself in earnest while continuing what exercise I could. After a while all I could do was take long walks. I lost 80 pounds in 8 months doing this, and I was still considered over weight by about 60 pounds. I never got any happier with myself by changing my body. I still didn't think I was worth anything unless I could get tiny. I had really bad brain fog, I stopped being able to produce my own body heat, started to have fainting spells, and finally heart palpitations. When I went to the doctor all they told me is what a good job I was doing losing weight and that the palpitations were from my panic disorder. I finally stopped keto because my partner sat me down and begged me to stop. It was really hard and it took time to give it up, but I finally did. I had no real muscle left and I was so fatigued... Over the course of a year... I gained all the weight back. I still have palpitations sometimes, and I will never know what damage yoyo dieting for years did to me.

I don't diet anymore, I've started intuitive eating and my diet has improved over all. I eat variety now, more vegetables and lots of protein. I also have carbs, and dessert with I want it. I've also started doing things for the experience rather than to make my body look a certain and ultimately unattainable way. I don't focus on how I look anymore, I focus on being strong. I am now highly active and doing activities I never thought I would be capable of in my fat body. I take dance classes four times a week, I lift weights, and I am starting Lyra and aerial classes. I also don't step on scales anymore. But I can tell you I haven't magically shrunk. I guess what I'm trying to say is... Any standard of "in shape" can be impossible for any person. We aren't all meant to look that same and I think that people are caring less about being overweight because it should never have been a limiting factor to you enjoying your life, being active, and being well loved by the right people.

Drafting privacy policies is a pain but there are a lot of services now that will generate one for you pretty quickly. Though I do have to wonder if the generated plan was then not up to standards what steps would have to be taken to correct it

For many people there is no "paying off your loans until they are gone"- there is just: making payments until you are dead.

The point is exactly that- morality isn't for "extra credit", we shouldn't need to get rewarded to do the right thing- that's kind of the point.

I mean sure, maybe when it comes to smaller companies. But some of the companies with the biggest security blunders are those that have enough money that the security for their users information should be a major priority and those costs would barely impact their bottom line.

And also... Using this same train of argument couldn't we also just argue that the cost of security compliance shouldn't be this high to begin with so it's more accessible?

So in that case it's much less about a company desiring to comply to these costs and much more about not being able to realistically being able to afford to do so?

I have a lot of experience with food insecurity and have since I was a child. I lived with my older sister and my single mom in a trailer that didn't even have a working fridge so we didn't have the option to store healthy options for long period of times, and we lived in a rural area far from a grocery store because my mom split her time working as a farm hand and a waitress. Sometimes she would bring home leftovers from her job but it wasn't really enough for three people and it definitely wasn't what you would consider healthy.

Food stamps are much harder to qualify for than you would expect, at least in my state. "Fairly inexpensive" to you is not the same as "affordable" to other people. You also have to consider the sheer amount of time and management that goes into cooking and planning "healthy" meals. The majority of households in the US don't have the luxury of someone with the time to manage that because everyone is working, at least full time if not more and trying to live their lives on top of that. You also need to consider that there are people who live in food deserts who may only have access to stores with limited inventories, and don't have access to cars or even public transportation.

The addition of animal protein(especially cooked) is a well documented aspect of our evolution path that led to the types of brains we have. I believe fully in that theory- but also that there are other additional aspects that should be considered... Such as this theory.

Ah yes, my children being slaughtered in a school by a gunman while I stand outside listening to their screams and cries. "Fun and games". It's a horrible situation that no one should have to be in- but this is the nightmare scenario that our policies have created and sustained.

I agree with you completely. The demand of silence under threat of criminal charges and total disregard of very real concerns over the actions of the police in this case combined with a lack of serious internal investigation is indicative of at best responsibility not being taken by the Uvaldi force and at worse a cover up.

Isn't it possible to use serverless stack to create a serverless cron job combo?

I wish I knew but that was actually the same thought I had, it's especially interesting to consider how it may interact with different types of sugars in the future

I find that in some ways tech is actually easier for me as a neurodivergent person than other fields that I've worked in(restaurant and production work mostly). With tech I am able to manage my exposure to social situations much easier which is a huge trigger for me. I am diagnosed as ASD and I suffer massively from rejection dysphoria. On my worst days even an awkward snag in conversation can leave me feeling as though I've said that wrong thing, and in the past these scenarios might spin me out for days or even a week at a time.

For me, my diagnosis provided me with a framework for aspects of my personality that I thought I could brute force into compliance. Things I thought I would somehow mature out of. It also gave me access to a community with similar struggles to me which was eye opening.

Thank you for your response! So the best strategy to maintain tech debt and keep it manageable is to fit dragons with it into your teams overall time budget. That definitely feels more realistic than trying to keep it from happening at all

I'm newer to the field: is tech debt something that can be avoided and is it possible for some teams to not have tech debt or to avoid it all together?

Definitely signing up for Mastodon now, does anyone have good recommendations for tech communities on there? I'm totally new to the interface.

The line between useful notifications that benefit users and notifications being really obnoxious and spammy is really very thin. I can see how it would be useful to utilize a tool like Courier to help fine tune the process especially if you are utilizing AWS already.

Everything has a flash point after a certain point x.x

Thanks for the heads up. I've been seeing an increase recently in more realistic and well done scam emails. I have gotten a couple convincing looking ones from PayPal in the recent past. I get around this by always going directly to the website to log in and make sure my account isn't locked or has a concerning message from their support team.

So by attempting to use Datadog to help track and thereby offset some of the costs of what would be considered minor data ended up driving up costs due to the sheer number of these requests? Is this a problem that is more centered around serverless?

There is a lot more thought and psychology that goes into notifications than we give them credit for while they are also irritating us to no end. On the other hand I have felt distinctly furious when notifications for my messaging apps fail and I find myself missing messages.

I understand how you feel definitely. I am a person with a poor memory and multiple Gmail accounts... So sometimes I open up my "All Inboxes" folder in the gmail app to discover that I've given the same website multiple addresses and they've sent out three emails to each :(.

With the click notifications on my phone though, I tend to live and die by them (again, poor memory). I use a lot of calendar and scheduling apps, and in that case the design of the notifications is actually really important to me

You don't ever find the click notifications useful? The Duolingo notifications are annoying but they have definitely helped me preserve my streak.

I would imagine it's because many people have come to recognize that both forms of data have value. I might up vote a comment that was purely anecdotal that I found interesting even if that comment was something I didn't agree with or that I felt directly conflicted with well documented research. Additionally believing that any group of people online or in person is somehow intellectually superior or immune to basic human bias is a trap that will catch you again and again. Every human- no matter how smart, educated, or well read is fallible in a multitude of ways. I feel that the incidences of this increase exponentially when you get us into a social group.

The concern presented by this author is a very valid one that I myself have been struggling with for over a decade now. I have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder since I was 13 years old. It however took me until last year to receive a diagnosis for autism and ADHD. My entire life I have fought and struggled against my brain in order to fit in, and actively harmed my own mental health by trying to change aspects of my personality that I categorized as maladaptive coping behaviors. I really thought that I could train myself out of being autistic, and one day when I was driving home having a breakdown I realized that I kept telling myself that I was going to "grow out" of my autistic behaviors. I think that it is valid to find pride in the way that I have overcome and learn to cope with my depression, but I'm not proud because I have depression and I certainly believe that it should be treated at all costs. However, I think that having pride in being autistic makes sense because it is a different way of being in the world. It still presents me with unique challenges that someone who is neurotypical may not face, but it isn't something that I can treat until it goes away and trying to do so has harmed me massively. It's also something that is difficult for me because the world itself is not designed to be accessible to me, as opposed to depression or struggling with an eating disorder or addiction. Those will always be harmful to you and don't make sense to be proud about as I feel that implies that you don't feel they should be treated.

I'm an American so I don't know that my opinion has much importance here, but as someone who has never really believed in "cancel culture" and who regularly rolls their eyes at the self victimization of politicians and celebrities who advocate for hate against marginalized groups then act like they are being bullied when those same groups call them on it, this is definitely eye opening.
