  • However, I would say when talking about Linux specifically, there is a high chance that people talking about stuff being broken are people breaking stuff.

    I’m sure you’re right. It used to be complicated to set up printers, bluetooth, audio, but even then once set up they were fine. Now all those and just about anything else you need to manage on the machine has an easy GUI

    My wife’s computer runs Linux and she’s never had to use a terminal (she’s not a techie type)

    I haven’t yet been convinced that giving up meat can help. Specifically, I haven’t seen the question of what happens to the grazing land.

    If it is left to burn, the carbon it contains cycles grass ➡️ fire ➡️ CO2, particles ➡️ grass, etc

    If it’s left to rot it’s grass ➡️ methane, CO2 ➡️ grass

    If it is rewilded the carbon cycles grass ➡️ meat, methane ➡️ predators, etc

    If left as it is it’s the same, but with us in place of the predators.

    I really feel like there is no way of preventing the carbon emissions of grasslands, but at least if they’re making meat for us we can work on engineering a way out of the methane release, and people are working on that

    And at worst it’s not fossil carbon, it’s renewable, the carbon emitted is captured again when the grass regrows

    There’s carbon in the farm equipment, but that’s the same in all farming

    There are a few ways to have bad eyesight

    • Short sighted, can only focus close up
    • Long sighted, cannot focus close up
    • Poor acuity, cannot see the detail others can see
    • Colour blindness

    It looks like most of the short sightedness is caused by lifestyle since it is much more prevalent in places where children spend a lot of time indoors

    The others would have affected our ancestors as much as us




  • I had a team of contractors working on some code. They had learnt in their previous jobs to document everything in the work wiki (aside from the design documents which have their own repository)

    And it was good they did, since the project was put on hold due to too much mismatch between backend and front, and all the contractors were fired (a day before Xmas) leaving the useless doco as the best reference for whoever needs to resurrect our code
