Combine a chemically impaired memory and the current media landscape to get neat little dystopia.
We already could have unknowingly produced and consumed such neuro modulators simply by selecting for consumer return. Frightening thought, because it fits the current reality timeline.
Cooking your own food can generally be more expensive then anything mass produced because efficiency is usually better in centralized setups, but this depends on the meal. Including the time it takes, you will never beat eg. a bakery for more cost efficient bread.
Thank you. I was scanning this thread for anyone pointing this out.
The cooldown security scheme appears like some inverse "security by obscurity". Nobody could see a backdoor, therefor we can assume security. This scheme stands and falls with the assumed timelines. Once this assumption tumbles, picking a cooldown period becomes guess work. (Or another compliance box ticked.)
On the other side, the assumption can very well be sound, maybe ~90% of future backdoors can be mitigated by it. But who can tell. This looks like the survivorship bias, because we are making decisions based on the cases we found.
Your are comparing the js ecosystem and bad project realizations/designs.
> Action vs motion
I think the main difference you mean is the motivation behind changes, is it a (re)action to achieve a meassurable goal, is this a fix for a critical CVE, or just some dev having fun and pumping up the numbers.
GP mentioned the recent feature of executing ts, which is a reasonable goal imo, with alot of beneficial effects down the line but in the present just another hustle to take care about. So is this a pointless motion or a worthy action? Both statements can be correct, depending on your goals.
Scepticism taught in schools. Demonstrate manipulation on kids and conclude that even educated, intelligent minds can get entangled when they let their guard down.
> We talk a lot about polarization as if it were a disease that infected society, but we’re missing a key data point: polarization is a growth hack, and it works.
Unfortunately the article does not explain how it works and without a problem definition, you cant reach a solution. IMO it certainly behaves like a disease.
I consider identity politics as one vector how a mind virus can take over the hosts higher order reasoning. There are certainly other vectors (cognitive biases) but IP is definetly the biggest driving factor behind todays polarization. Calling others "liberals" is primarily a signal to label an outgroup.
On what political side do you see more symbols like flags, stickers, memes, etc? Entire news cycle narratives can get deprived of meaning and act as the most recent symbol, individuals can use to signal their group membership. Any counter argument against such a holy cow gets viciously attacked or ignored because to some degree, this counter argument is an actual attack on yourself, your identitiy. Admitting errors is no big deal when nothing is at stake. The opposite example would be a very religious person loosing faith with an adrenaline rush (sweat, shiver, high heart rate, flat respiration), when the body prepares a fight or flight response because a strong, non-ignorable and contradicting thought crossed its mind.
And on what political side do you see more intelligence and broader empathy? More cognitive flexibility?
Around 2000, the internet was considered a new "printing press 2.0" for making information widely accessible. This analogy fits very well, because the first ever western book to be printed was the f'ing bible.
Nothing really. Unless your world view is somehow anchored on identity political symbols.
Disgust can be a very strong emotion you can have towards others and in that case, you could have issues with inclusion and human dignity regarding $people_i_dont_like. Thankfully, 3 year olds in kindergarden dont care about any of this, yet.
3. You can actually afford to bring more nuanced, maybe even self-critical reports because your moral baseline is more then a superficial symbol like "freedom".
That depends on whether or not the obviousness of the lies tracks with the zeal with which atrocities enabled by that dislocation from reality are undertaken.
But I suppose that there's plenty of evidence that it doesn't.
You are describing a propper dependency/code hierarchy.
The merging of attribute sets/modules into a full NixosConfiguration makes this easy. You have one company/product wide module with a bunch stuff in it and many specialized modules with small individual settings for e.g. customers.
Sure, building a complete binary/service/container/nixos can still take plenty of time but if this is your only target to test with, you'd have that effort with any naive build system. But nix isnt one of them.
I think that's the real issue here. Modularizing your software/systems and testing modules as independently as possible. You could write test nix modules with a bunch of assertions and have it evaluate at build time. You could build a foundation service and hot plug different configurations/data, build with nix, into it for testing. You could make test results nix derivations so they dont get rerun when nothing changed.
Nix is slow, yes. But only if you dont structure your code in a way to tame all that redundant work, it comes around and bites you. Consider how slow eg. make is and much its not a big issue for make.
