I've seen this trope of a lack of trustable science often here. But the people not trusting the science (that I've come across) would usually not have the ability to replicate science anyway, for a lack of education. The other group to not "trust the science" usually is making their money in some of the causes of global warming.

Just a few weeks back, Saudi Arabia (and some other countries I'm missing) insisted on weakening the claims made in a joint statement/study of the COP.

The lack of trust in science (imho) stems from the fact that pretty big news organisations (fox, Bild etc) are doing their best to ease the cognitive dissonance of their audience by claiming them unreliable. The ivory tower is just a propaganda trope at this point

On a given workday I always have at least one window of vscodr open that makes opening new files much faster than a cold start like vim et al are used

I think it's pretty common in most bachelors to learn the basics of this, hence the dismissing response? The article explains it pretty well, but I was curious how they handle structs and spilling for when parameters exceed available registers.

On top of that, people should remember that while honey is naturally microbially stable. It is not actively anti microbial. Mixing it into your dish will not make it more shelf stable. The stability is simply because it's too dry for microbial activity.

I'm mentioning this because it's a common misconception in fermentation communities.

I've once gotten the advice of boiling it for at least fifteen minutes since the citric acid commonly used will break down at normal cooking temperatures.

Wikipedia lists its breakdown temperature at 175C so it's plausible but I don't know the temperatures at which tomato sauce boils.

Baking soda is fine too, but it can bring its own minerally flavor into your foods. So I'd use it sparingly.

No, but recommending it to a lot of people is. Literally.

That's exactly what GP is saying though?

There's a borges fake essay on exactly this topic: Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote

You can however question platforming an entity with such a shitty history or at least contextualise it like in the op.

In small to medium sized groups, body and facial language helps to understand how a person feels about something. Most people like to imagine everything is completely rational but most things at work have a human component. If I feel like someone's unhappy with the work they're allocated I will ask them about it. It's like watching a movie without the image.

But is that because you have the visual feedback of yourself? As I say, I can relate and that's why I disable my own tile.

I'm being a bit encroaching here, but I'm guessing you'd have to do as much and probably more self regulation in in-person meetings. Nobody cares where your hands are, probably no one even looks at them because you're one of many tiles. Where you're looking is not interesting because nobody knows where your camera sits related to your face. I constantly look out the window while talking. Genuinely, I've had to force eye contact on bad days in in-person meetings and everyone knew, it felt as pathetic as looking at my own face and checking if my gesturing and face ist appropriate

Is this because you observe yourself on screen?

I feel very uneasy looking at myself when talking, so I've figured out how to remove my tile and it's suddenly like a normal conversation.

There are way less social codes you have to follow when wfh and people tend to not bother as much with enforcing them.

> So the only real way to solve it is robust regulation and good channels for whistleblowers.

And probably some sort of minimal unconditional financial security denying corporations to practically take people hostage.

Wouldn't this be eventually a good thing? I imagine less free online services, which would condition people to also pay online more often. It would be a bumpy road, but I can see how online magazines could make more money that way, since I'm already used to paying for my online office suite, mail etc.

It could also just lead to weird tie-in with a central ad service sharing anonymized data between all participating companies, basically spreading the data Google monopolizes further.

I took a course on machine learning for my masters. I had trouble understanding most of it, and a lot of trouble solving the coursework (lots of training models), because I didn't get the theory. The kid who had an insane gaming rig always had the best solutions and his understanding was by his own declaration not much better than mine, he could just train way faster so he could make more mistakes and had the better trained models in general.

One of the techniques we learned in the course, was by the account of the Prof, working extremely well, and well documented, its just that nobody really understood why it worked and people were trying to prove why it got optimal solutions.

This is mostly a personal stance validated by the talking of some other artists and musicians, and only a weak rebuttal/addendum to your point: But I've long understood creativity as literally just creating. A lot. And publishing only what you deem worthy.

I'm friends with a clique of techno producers and they grind their music 24/7, they have an endless supply of ideas that they've produced,they're also heavily immersed in the music etc. They will publish some tracks twice a year, to the outside it obviously seems like they've had a moment of genius, but it's probably just 5% of their actual production. Another example is the documentary on marina abramovich, where she has a consultant telling her what art to actually publish. The artist Jonathan Meese has outlined a similar stance on a Tracks documentary where he just rambles for 5min to the effect of "create create create".

Obviously doing something a lot develops skill, but choosing what to publish is probably more a question of taste.

Jazz soloing is probably a good counterexample, but a lot of jazz solos aren't that remarkable and these people are at the top of their game so their worst is likely most peoples best?

I cannot leave a comment of bedroom producers go without a mention of judd madden.

Probably quite out there (doom/drone/stoner) for most people but his music has always struck me as incredibly from the heart and not some noodling to impress others.

Java has good to great FP, making most objects immutable is also trivial. Mypy is good to get strict typing enforced but, but I still prefer the native and slightly wonky typesystem to a tacked on one that builds on trust.

Yes obviously, people are being taken their right to live in extreme poverty. Thanks for standing up to the little people.

At least in Germany (and France afaik) riders have been fighting towards unionization, better treatment, and even ownership (see: https://kolyma2.coopcycle.org/de/)

Gorillas especially has been hit hard with literal revolt by riders, which let to some pretty amusing press conferences by their CEO.

There is already communal property in Berlin and all over Europe. Its not some grim socialist dystopia. They serve under the same conditions as private companies just don't have to completely bend over to shareholders wishes. Vienna the city for example is the biggest landlord in Europe.

Obviously we need more housing but until then we also need to ensure that people with normal incomes can also afford to live _in_ the City.

The amount of new apts would be dramatically high to curb prices and make them realistic again. And Berlin is probably also not able to magically create as much new living space as is needed in that short of a time frame especially given the developers unwillingness to build affordable housing. I think where we probably fundamentally don't agree is that not all things need to be provided through a market. (or I think my point is more so that we've at least observed it not reall working here, so we could at least try a different strategy or multitudes and see how far those take us)

I agree and that's why I think the problem cannot be solved in private hands but with communal ownership.

Berlin has been a hot market for a long time, what's been built has been a lot of very expensive apartments. There is actually some leerstand but they are luxury apartments without renters. The biggest thing the market has achieved in Berlin is allowing landlords to rent out shitty apartments at abhorrent prices (25sqm at 600€) without incentive to actually provide good services for the renters

Privatisation was seen as a cool thing 10-20 years ago.

I'm guessing the parent is referring to the ability to transparently change runtime parameters and benefit from technical improvements without having to switch languages or even needing recompilation. That's not something golang can do given its statically linked afaik

Tidyr/dplyr (R) can do something very close to this but I don't know how it is achieved. There it is a dot

> Maybe these things are social constructs, but if they are then we surely must come to the conclusion that almost everything we care about in the world is a social construct.

That's the point really. And it's not inherently a value judgement to say something is a social construct. Using it as a value judgment usually is meant to convey that some secondary attributes are not inherent, or even more so, just historical by-products and might need rethinking or recontextualisation. Being a woman and being of the female sex might seem to be identical, but womanhood is not the same as having a certain genomic makeup, and therefore womanhood is obviously a social construct. The video above even outlines how female-Ness might be considered a social construct but I'm not smart enough to explain that to you where abigail will do it much better.

I meant user config sorry.

I'm curious every post on podman had a very positive thread. We were kinda forced to use podman and while we enjoy rootless containers conceptually they have caused us a lot of issues. After every restart of a node when a user had pods running, said user will not be able to use podman. Often times, bugs can only be solved by completely resetting your user. It's also not as straightforward to configure as the documentatiom let's on.

Overall I don't have an opinion on the software, it's just confusing to me how much praise it receives?

Miller is not new (at least 6 years old is what I can gleam from the Github page).

It is somewhat similar to JQ, but specifically for record based formats and not documents.

The example page [0] has quite a few nice examples.

A recent snippet from my own usage, looking for duplicate ids in a large-ish csv.gz:

    mlr uniq -c -g id then filter '$count > 1'
    mlr --ijson --ocsv filter '$success' then stats1 -a mean,min,max,stddev -f duration
