Yup - I had a similar experience [1]. Chapter 9 is certainly the weakest part of the book but it picks up very quickly thereafter. [1] https://www.thatgeoguy.ca/blog/2021/03/07/review-the-little-...

This points to a larger discussion about systems thinking. Specifically that warning labels put responsibility on the individual to correctly read, interpret, and act on information in the label. Alternatively, consider not using a label an

This argument and the point you're saying is "exactly right" is literally covered in the text of the paper. Read page 9 in the PDF again - the author goes to good lengths to grapple with this argument and why it is not correc

Okay, some more realistic math then - that's often less than 9 months of insurance. Cars are extremely expensive, so if we're comparing car replacements we should look at the total cost. Some sources are [1], [2], if you're c

Flatpak and Snaps get their fair share of flak for a number of legitimate reasons, but one thing that I find really nice is that you can deny that permission to them. Flatseal is actually a good GUI client for doing so. It can modify and tw

I feel like this is somewhat of a false dichotomy - I pay for plenty of content and have a good number of subscriptions, but that doesn't make the ads go away like magic. If anything, I've seen more and more services where paying

Hmmmm. Are you advocating that Bitwarden was feature-complete and should never build these things out of the product they have? Because things like SSO, role assumption, sharing, etc. are already part of their business offering. What I&#x27

This seems like scare-mongering, or FUD, in my humble opinion. The reason that sewage and water is so hard to get right in the United States is in part due to sprawl, as well as the lack of political will to actually maintain infrastructure

This is a bit preposterous. First off, do you know how speeds are set? Civil engineers build a road, and then figure out the 85th percentile speed for that road based on sample data collected. [0] That's a couple things: 1. Not based o

I'm not sure why this is the consistent take. We have e-scooters and bikes with limiters on speed, why would this be materially different than cars? It's not like it needs to slam on the brake, it just needs to disengage accelerat

Yeah I mean this is still kind of the case today, Rust just avoids it because there is really only one reference implementation. That may not even be true forever, Rust on GCC is continuing to get more and more feature complete over time. [
