The term I know / used for this is "trivial inconveniences", via an old article of Scott Alexander[0].
The quote from example from early in the article stuck with me for years:
Think about this for a second. The human longing for freedom of information is a terrible and wonderful thing. It delineates a pivotal difference between mental emancipation and slavery. It has launched protests, rebellions, and revolutions. Thousands have devoted their lives to it, thousands of others have even died for it. And it can be stopped dead in its tracks by requiring people to search for "how to set up proxy" before viewing their anti-government website.
(Now this is more poetic, but I suppose the much more insightful example that also stuck with me is given later - companies enticing you to buy by offering free money, knowing well that most customers can't be arsed to fill out a form to actually get that money.)

Santa Clara County had an active cloud-seeding program from 1954 through 1994.[1] Santa Clara County used to be a major agricultural area. The goal is not to create rain, but to move it.

But there was a concern that it was making wildfires worse, by doing what it was intended to do and thus making the inland forests more dry.

If Trump decides to go pull the plug on invading Greenland an uses the 11th Airborne, McBride would, I would assume, at a minimum, be relieved of his duties with the 11th Airborne and sent back to Canada, with either a subordinate ops staff officer or the Deputy Commanding General (Support) or some combination filling in for the duties of the Deputy Commanding General (Operations).
Depending on the details of timing of the operation and the US-Canada diplomatic situation as a result, what happens after he is relieved might not be as simple as a return to Canada, he might conceivably even end up as a POW.

This is a neat brute-force search system - it uses goroutines, one for each of the 1,200 books in the corpus, and has each one do a regex search against the in-memory text for that book.

rightEnd := min(end+CONTEXT_LENGTH, len(text))
// TODO: this doesn't work with Unicode
if start > 0 && isLetter(text[start-1]) {
continue
}
if end < len(text) && isLetter(text[end]) {
continue
}

> Representatives can draft articles of impeached for the President.
Trump has been impeached twice. Even if you could get enough Republicans in the House on board to do so a third time (the GOP holds a majority in both houses of Congress), the threshold of 2/3 of the Senate to convict and remove is far out of reach; there aren't enough Republicans that aren't die-hard Trump loyalists (there are rumors that an actual armed invasion of Greenland might change that, but those kind of rumors of opposition often turn out to be overblown when situations materialize, with a decisive number Republicans offering some criticism and then finding an excuse to oppose actual action.)
> Senators can start impeaching various Secretaries
No, Senators cannot start impeachment, which regardless of which officers subject to it are targeted must start in the House. And the same problems which face impeachment of the President apply here.

Based on just this article, it seems far most likely to me that it was a place to hide during an attack.
> And while three brave explorers in the 21st century once spent 48 hours in an erdstall, crawling to new sections whenever oxygen became scarce, it seems unlikely that they would have been constructed as hiding places, even temporary ones. Though they could have provided refuge for a small family, why would they be accessed from such public spaces?
I don't see why a whole bunch of people couldn't have hidden in them for several hours during an attack/raid? A hiding spot sufficiently known to a few, just big enough. And then it makes perfect sense the entrance would be in some central public place.
> The lack of exits is a further strike against this theory—if enemies became aware of such a tunnel being used as shelter, it would quickly become a death trap for its inhabitants.
Which would contribute to their extreme secrecy. And the loops and dead ends and narrow spots make it all the harder for attackers to pursue you even if they find it.
> Besides, in either of these cases, one would expect at least some goods to have been left behind—remnants of food or clothing, cached or dropped valuables. Instead, there is nothing.
If they were intended for hiding for just a few hours, since oxygen would run out anyways, it makes sense for nothing to be left in there. You rush in and come back out when the raiders have moved on. Clothing was valuable, you weren't going to leave your shawl behind.

Now, Trump is an opportunist and in the psat his talk of default has been a way to throw rhetorical stones at his political opponents and keep himself in the news while he was out of office. Back in office, he has sought to project some kind of commitment to fiscal responsibility and financial stability.
But let's be real here, he's making threats against a fellow NATO member on the daily and openly saying he wants to annex territory. If he gets it into his head that the Danes or the EU are being mean to him and hurting his fee-fees, he's fully capable of responding in irrational fashion and has a toxic personality cult that will back him up. Be honest, if I took this month's headlines and took a time machine a year into the past, would 2025 you have believed my warnings about what would be happening 1 year into the second Trump admin?
You are so far out from understanding why pension funds put money in foreign government paper that I'm not sure where to begin explaining it. But the key is simply portfolio diversification. Institutional investors have access to a very large number of options on where, how and for how long they want to park their money that it isn't some kind of forced move to put their money in US Treasuries.
It's just a way to hedge their bets. In the larger scheme of things $100B isn't all that much (it may be to you, but even a small trading desk of a mid sized bank or multinational, say Royal Dutch Shell, or such) have access to that kind of money. They are not going to take the chance that Donald Trump on Monday morning, after eating a bad burger the night before, decides to unleash the might of the US military on their territory and be left holding the bag.
One downside of running a trade deficit with the rest of the world is that they have you by the short and curlies; if they dump your paper you will have to buy it back as fast as they can dump it to avoid a crash of your currency. That can get expensive really quickly.

It's been a pet peeve for me working in startups that a lot of younger people haven't had that kind of experience so they are hung up on job titles and stuff and don't just think "it's a small team so I'm going to do what the team needs"
I've learned to see that the value of my work is the value it has to my organization delivered by the team I am working in so I adjust accordingly. I can't say there is one thing to do that works all the time but rather you improvise and see what works with the people you are working with. If there is somebody who reviews your PRs for instance it is going to go smooth if you meet their expectations as opposed to what you think their expectations ought to be. Decide what boundaries you want to enforce and what you can't compromise on but be flexible about everything you can be flexible about.
Understand the contradiction between "doing what people need" and "doing what people want" and not be afraid to rub people the wrong way if you really have to while not promoting any excess antagonism. (It isn't easy!)
One of the best managers I ever had integrated me into a team by tasking me with completing a late project on a nearly impossible schedule and giving us all the understanding that I was supposed to ask for and get all the support I needed.

I came to really appreciate React over time.
My initial objections were: (a) circa 2006 I was making very demanding RIAs such as knowledge graph editors and GIS decision support software and I've yet to see any modern framework that is as good as what I was using then (not in JS but rather GWT and Silverlight w/ the same async comms) and (b) the React model is not a 100% match for the form-based applications that we usually write with it (but boy do I love react-hook-form)
React is like the code in Graham's On Lisp [1] in that functional programming is used to create a sort of DSL. There are a lot of ways to implement reactivity that usually require a special interpreter (spreadsheets) or compiler (Svelte). React's system does show seams (you really need to be on top of identity and equality) but it is remarkably simple.
React shines, in my mind, for things that aren't form applications. For instance, VR applications with AFrame -- it's somewhere between VRML and Unity. I am working on a (mainly) heart rate variability biofeedback application [2] and it is so easy to make dashboards that display real-time metrics as well as Poincare sections and time series. That is, I can slap together a few data processing functions and widgets and make a new dashboard with new metrics and charts or new sensors. One goal is to get it working on a tablet in a two player version.
The disadvantage of React is that it does not work so well for highly dynamic layouts. In my case I have a library of functions to "fetch" the data stream and put them into the top of the component (may even package as hooks) and then put the layout together with JSX. I'd like to have a version where the user can drag and drop the components to make a custom layout and the system figures out the dependencies for the data fetching, preparation and processing like the things I made in 2006 and that kind of application with a dynamic layout (think programs like Photoshop with lots of different little widgets and property sheets) wants a different approach to reactivity.

Because most Americans don't care about what's going on in the rest of the world and basically just care about inflation: https://harvardharrispoll.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/HHP... (p. 16). Even after everything, a majority of Americans say Trump is doing a better job than Biden, who had worse inflation on his watch (p. 18).
Americans don't care because they don't have to. In Germany, 40-45% of GDP is exports: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NE.EXP.GNFS.ZS?location.... In the U.S., it's just 10-11%: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NE.EXP.GNFS.ZS?location.... Exports to the EU are just over 1% of GDP. To put that into perspective, if exports evaporated completely, that would wipe out just three years of American GDP-per-capita growth. For Germany, it would wipe out more than two decades of GDP per capita growth.
That not only means that 90% of America's economy is domestic. It means that most people have no exposure to the rest of the world through their workplaces. To the extent they do, that experience is with Canada and Mexico--we have twice as much trade with those countries as with the EU. Canada and Mexico have essentially zero meaningful leverage over the U.S. So even for the relatively few Americans who have some exposure to the rest of the world, most of their exposure is to relationships where America is the utterly dominant party.

I edited what you wrote to make it my own, what do you think about my changes?
About a year ago I had some code I had been working on for about a year subject to a pretty heavy-duty security review by a reputable review company. When they asked what language I implemented it in and I told them "Go", they joked that half their job was done right there.
While Go isn't perfect and you can certainly write some logic bugs that sufficiently clever use of a more strongly-typed language might let you avoid (though don't underestimate what sufficiently clever use of what Go already has can do for you either when wielded with skill), it has a number of characteristics that keep it somewhat safer than a lot of other languages.
First, it's memory safe in general, which obviously out of the gate helps a lot. You can argue about some super, super fringe cases with unprotected concurrent access to maps, but you're still definitely talking about something on the order of .1% to .01% of the surface area of C.
Next, many of the things that people complain about Go on Hacker News actually contribute to general safety in the code. One of the biggest ones is that it lacks any ability to take an string and simply convert it to a type, which has been the source of catastrophic vulnerabilities in Ruby [1] and Java (Log4Shell), among others. While I use this general technique quite frequently, you have to build your own mechanism for it (not a big deal, we're talking ~50 lines of code or so tops) and that mechanism won't be able to use any class (using general terminology, Go doesn't have "classes" but user-defined types fill in here) that wasn't explicitly registered, which sharply contains the blast radius of any exploit. Plus a lot of the exploits come from excessively clever encoding of the class names; generally when I simply name them and simply do a single lookup in a single map there isn't a lot of exploit wiggle room.
In general though it lacks a lot of the features that get people in trouble that aren't related to memory unsafety. Dynamic languages as a class start out behind the eight-ball on this front because all that dynamicness makes it difficult to tell exactly what some code might do with some input; goodness help you if there's a path to the local equivalent of "eval".
Go isn't entirely unique in this. Rust largely shares the same characteristics, there's some others that may qualify. But some other languages you might expect to don't; for instance, at least until recently Java had a serious problem with being able to get references to arbitrary classes via strings, leading to Log4Shell, even though Java is a static language. (I believe they've fixed that since then but a lot of code still has to have the flag to flip that feature back on because they depend on it in some fundamental libraries quite often.) Go turns out to be a relatively safe security language to write in compared to the landscape of general programming languages in common use. I add "in common use" and highlight it here because I don't think it's anywhere near optimal in the general landscape of languages that exist, nor the landscape of languages that ought to exist and don't yet. For instance in the latter case I'd expect capabilities to be built in to the lowest layer of a language, which would further do great, great damage to the ability to exploit such code. However no such language is in common use at this time. Pragmatically when I need to write something very secure today, Go is surprisingly high on my short list; theoretically I'm quite dissatisfied.

It's easy to not jump in with solutions the first time you hear a story, but it's much harder when you hear the exact same story, with exact same underlying emotion, dozen+ times in the span of a few months. The other side is clearly not really processing their emotions - so if not that, and not practical advice, then what's the point of even talking about it?
It's really draining and in some cases I'm not in a position to disengage either.
I really don't understand Tailwind. I heard great things about it, and then I tried it and it seemed like setting style="" on all elements, but with extra steps.
Did we go off semantic CSS and returned to setting properties on each element, or was I using it wrong?
I just tried a few launchers and none of them forced a search bar (or do you mean not on the home screen?). In fact, in Lawnchair and Octopi, I had to manually add a search bar if I wanted one.
Once your exploit machine is good enough, you can start using stolen credentials to mine more exploits. This is going to be the new version of malware installing bitcoin miners.
Neither of those is going to be obsolete in 5 years. Might get rebadged and a bunch of extensions, but there's such a huge install base that rapid change is unlikely. Neither Firewire nor Thunderbolt unseated USB.
s/embodied/embedded/, and this is how LLMs understand.
As others already mentioned, the secret is that arithmetic is done on vector in high-dimensional space. The meaning of concepts is in how they relate to each other, and high dimensional spaces end up being a surprisingly good representation.
Apart from Toyotas, hybrids are kind of unpopular precisely because they're a compromise. Not many people who do make the switch to EV go back.
Additional tipping points will come when cities start banning combustion engines on emissions grounds. Then gas stations start closing. After a while you get the reverse condition to EV range anxiety: having to drive further and further out of your way to fill up. Maybe you get a script-flipping service, an EV comes to the few remaining unconverted combustion vehicles with a small bowser of fuel.
Later models were quite interesting as well - the last one was a PowerPC workstation with an s390 board.
Until recently, I've been a smog-skeptic; I figured it must be an overblown issue, as regardless of what the digital sensors and pretty graphs say, having spent almost my entire life in Kraków, I never saw it, never felt it. Still don't. Air in Kraków feels perfectly fine to me. And every time I saw someone complain, it was because of "see the PM2.5 PM10 thru the roof omg zomg!", not any actual health-related issues or discomfort.
What changed my mind about the whole thing was my kids. I may not feel the particulates in the air, but my kids do, especially my eldest daughter (who has early childhood asthma, in remission) - winter comes, particulates go up, they start coughing uncontrollably all day. Particulates go down, suddenly they're healthy again (+/- running nose).
I have limited sympathy for conspiracy theories, and very little for those burning trash in their homes, but I do understand where the smog-skepticism comes from. I still remember when Krakowski Alarm Smogowy became a thing, winter 2012; back then, this felt like a huge fad pushed by young activists on the Internet.
It was the crash of the stock markets that eventually created the social situation that pushed people into WW.
Good thing no one ever invented a way to transport invading forces and equipment across a body of water that doesn't rely on sea transports.
It's things like this "super impactful!!!" style it has:
> Enter Claude Code 2.0.
> The UX had evolved. The harness is more flexible and robust. Bugs are fixed. But that's all secondary.
It's OK for emphasis on some things, but when you see it on every blog, it's a bit much.
Plus, I dislike that everything is lists with LLMs, it's another thing that you just start seeing everywhere.
Ah, thank you, that's why I couldn't find it on the site.
It was ahead of its time, now we have people shipping Electron all over the place.
It was fought by the South over slavery and by the North over federal power. Both sides were fairly explicit about this at the time.
Of course, long after the fact, popular opinion on slavery has moved enough that people like to pretend the side that they prefer fought primarily for the opposite reason; the South over (opposition to) federal power and the North over (opposition to) slavery.
Unfortunately they are all over the place on corporate code.
The real problem is service providers that you are somehow forced to use that will in turn use AI for various data extraction. They are effectively gatewaying your data to the AI companies and not all of them are sufficiently transparent about this. Mobile phone companies, rental agencies and various other service providers in turn are part of the funnel.
