TrispusAttucks··on Clinic to open near Ohio derailment as health worries linger
They never speak poorly of their advertisers or benefactors. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
TrispusAttucks··on Clinic to open near Ohio derailment as health worries linger
Burning vinyl chlorine turns it into phosgene. The deadliest chemical weapon from WW1. I'd say there's some risk involved.

Brought to you by Pfizer.

Our world is insane.
TrispusAttucks··on Ohio cleaning up toxic train derailment as pollution 'plume' moves downstream
They are running on skeleton crews to reduce costs and increased speeds to boost production. If there is no one there to pull the brakes it doesn't matter what kind of brakes they have.

The rail workers have been complaining for years.

TrispusAttucks··on Court blocks NY law mandating “hateful conduct” policies by social media
Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one's thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first of all strike down. They know its power. Thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers, founded in injustice and wrong, are sure to tremble, if men are allowed to reason.

~ Frederick Douglass

Seems like a subset of Behavior Contagion, which is a subset of Social Contagion.

TrispusAttucks··on The Climate Impact of Your Neighborhood, Mapped
TL;DR; Wealthy households have larger climate footprints than poor households.
TrispusAttucks··on The future (and the past) of the web is server side rendering
No. It's one path. The client merely requests the the format it desires. The response handler on the server side returns the appropriate response format as requested by the client. Nothing crazy here.
TrispusAttucks··on The future (and the past) of the web is server side rendering
It already exists for several popular frameworks/languages.

One example is [1] Laravel livewire.

TrispusAttucks··on The future (and the past) of the web is server side rendering
Depends but most server side frameworks cache render outputs of varying granularity. So you can cache components that are static.
TrispusAttucks··on The future (and the past) of the web is server side rendering
Maybe I misunderstand but it's pretty trivial to render different server side output based on context and is common in most frameworks.

Just pass a header for request content type json. Then the server returns data in json format as opposed to html.

TrispusAttucks··on “Nihilistic tribalism clothed in moral idealism”
This is an outstanding essay.
TrispusAttucks··on CMI says 2022 had the worst second half for mortality since 2010
Never forget what happened. That's how history repeats.
TrispusAttucks··on Burn-out, daunting work, overstretched, and it's just too much
The problem with modern work and the associated burnout is that it's so monoculture. This is fundamentally at odds with the natural human experience.

Work is typically performed to achieve some end result. Either an outcome or a material gain.

Until relatively recently in human existence the work performed to derive the output was varied and specific to the desired outcome.

For example: I want to eat carrots. I plant carrots. I want a shed. I build a shed. etc.

Now all work passes through the same point. Perform professional duties. Collect money. Buy outcome.

I get that it's not efficient to do many of these things but from a human fulfillment perspective there's a lot to be gained by doing them yourself.

The Task: "Variety is the very spice of life, that gives it all its flavor."

~ William Cowper

TrispusAttucks··on Ask HN: Do you hate software engineering but love programming?
This resonates with me. If I had to sum it up.

I just want to build cool shit that solves problems. It's fun.

TrispusAttucks··on Recent improvements to Safari
No mention of progressive web apps.
TrispusAttucks··on On why I gave up drinking in my early twenties
To everyone out there fighting for sobriety:

Keep it up!

Stay on the path!

You can do it!

TrispusAttucks··on O Holy Crap
Tools are no longer tools, but instead toys.

Cheap imitations of an artifact from a bygone era. Where playing with it too much or too hard will it break.

They're more of a display item than an actual appliance. Only meant for looking at and instilling the idea of a useful tool. But don't dare use it!

The reason is producers don't care if it works or not. The product is successful so long as they can trick enough people into buying it.

The mental, emotional, and financial exhaustion borders on psychological warfare from foreign advisories.

America needs to reboot it's manufacturing base with a focus on absolute best quality hands down, no excuses, survive nuclear winter American made products.

Let's break this wasteful Earth destroying, GHG creating cycle of madness!

TrispusAttucks··on Repairing Your Car in Your Own Garage Is Considered Illegal in Sacramento, CA

TrispusAttucks··on Autopsy-based characterization of myocarditis after anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccination
Yep.

Fuck authoritarians!

Never forget.

TrispusAttucks··on Autopsy-based characterization of myocarditis after anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccination
Remember that time when everyone called you a conspiracy theorist if you mentioned that mRNA vaccines were inducing myocarditis in some individuals.

Remember how they've been wrong about everything. Trust your instincts. Ignore propagandabots.

This is genius and beautiful.

Burn the frontend js frameworks!

That headline is so misleading.
TrispusAttucks··on It’s not Tourette’s but a new type of mass sociogenic illness
My only point is that because of the color switch we can see that certain concepts of gender identity preference, "color", are social constructs that influence society.
TrispusAttucks··on It’s not Tourette’s but a new type of mass sociogenic illness
The colors used to be switched in the 1800s. Pink for boys and blue for girls.
TrispusAttucks··on PFC bans are going to change waterproof garments
So much waste goes to landfill when they could be inputs to other bio processes. The scale of waste is insane.

"This equates to each household in NYC wasting an average of 8.4 pounds of food per week." [1]

Each household could feed a flock of 7 chickens with that household waste.

TrispusAttucks··on PFC bans are going to change waterproof garments
I am not optimistic about the future of sustainable specialized materials.

It seems very likely that the same structures that give modern high tech materials their unique abilities are the same ones that make them so environmentally unfriendly.

TrispusAttucks··on [dead]
Now perhaps.

It was not too long ago that discussion of the lab leak hypothesis would be screamed down by either zealots taking orders from mainstream media or state agents of disinformation. Not that the difference matters.
