Hopefully they can avoid the Scunthorpe problem.

I wonder if many of those most upset about the changes (and therefore pro-blackout) have also stopped visiting Reddit in protest. I know I fall into that camp.

We didn't sleep train our oldest, but we did our other three. All of them are very different people (ages 5-13). Every kid is different, and I don't think you can attribute it exclusively (or even primarily) to any one thing most of the time.

There are lots of uses of "have" that are not property. "I have many friends," "I have a butcher in town who does great work," "I have 10 employees in my business."

Routine checkups and other non-urgent care was frequently postponed or canceled, especially during the bigger waves when hospitals and ICUs were at risk of being overwhelmed.

> links decay quickly

That might be true in many places, and I agree with the general sentiment that the answer should provide an answer and not just a link to an answer. But wikipedia links are generally pretty stable. It’s not some random blog post.

I would guess it was to add suspense

Because of aircraft carriers. Those are the purview of the Navy, and are a mobile base of operations.

And if you don’t like how someone manages their open source software, don’t use it.

Not with other systemic issues.

Chesterton's fence refers to a principle that before changing something, you should first understand why it is the way it is.

> Chesterton’s Fence is a heuristic inspired by a quote from the writer and polymath G. K. Chesterton’s 1929 book, The Thing. It’s best known as being one of John F. Kennedy’s favored sayings, as well as a principle Wikipedia encourages its editors to follow. In the book, Chesterton describes the classic case of the reformer who notices something, such as a fence, and fails to see the reason for its existence. However, before they decide to remove it, they must figure out why it exists in the first place. If they do not do this, they are likely to do more harm than good with its removal. In its most concise version, Chesterton’s Fence states the following: Do not remove a fence until you know why it was put up in the first place.

Apnea would be match for “a” and “e”

If it were so simple to change FOSS to meet needs and make it easier to use, we’d have a FOSS Slack and Discord competitor that does it. But we don’t, because it’s not that easy. Matrix isn’t it. If it was, we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

Pretty sure it’s paper

But it’s a problem that can be addressed at the individual level, rather than requiring large societal shifts like a move to more public transportation would. As much as I love the idea of easy-to-use public transport, the changes in US society needed to make that happen are unlikely to come in the next 5-10 years.

Well, they did say it was for hackers.

That is a fair concern, but also keep in mind that this is one guy’s project. And with even more effort and debugging, I’m sure he could get it to 100%.

Ubiquiti doesn't have to go to the cloud. I manage my Ubiquiti stuff locally. The reason I bought Ubiquiti is because they offered pro-ish level quality and reliability at closer to consumer prices. At a time when the only consumer options were pretty crappy, Ubiquiti offered higher quality at a small premium without having to go all the way to Cisco APs, for example. I haven't really bought any new gear for several years, so I don't know if the landscape has changed.

This is Apple Mail with some settings to make it “minimal.”

Perhaps, but to what end? So they breached the Capitol and disrupted Congress. Then what?

To attack democracy is precisely the goal of this protest, though. The democratic election is complete, the results didn’t go their way, and in the midst of the final certification of results, these people broke into the Capitol to disrupt the process. That seems like an attack on democracy to me. If not that, what was their goal?

I think it's more of a "if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck." If you call yourself a journalist and have a record of reporting on things, then by this definition you are one. But you can't decide you are a persecuted journalist because you got arrested.

My hope is that, at least for some portion of society, this pandemic has normalized the practice of wearing a mask if you must go out and are sick. So even if diseases aren't totally eradicated, we can have significant reductions in spread. Maybe a false hope, but a hope nonetheless.

I wish we could stop complaints about Medium from showing up on every post from Medium. It's a distraction from the content, and off topic, and yet the complaint shows up with remarkable regularity.

Why dry as hot as possible? I was always told that the dry cycle was a waste of energy unless you need the dishes dry faster.

And that would be awesome. But I suspect that fixing that with our current administration is unlikely.

Absolutely, and that's a problem that needs to be addressed, but we can't fix everything at once.

The fact that the link says “Try Now” instead of “next image” or something like that is implying that you are using the AI generation when you click the button.

I totally agree that it's a bit annoying, but considering the number of minor quibbles that have now been suffixed with -gate [1], the battle is probably lost and it's best to just accept it and move on.
