Are you or people around you do that for hours every night? Is this a deliberate activity, or are you including random quick glances? How often is yours or people's around you sky watching experience actually negatively affected by satellites?

Sun rises and downs is not affected by satellites, due to overwhelming brightness difference. For casual stargazers, light pollution is much more of an obstacle than the satellites. Plus, for half a day on average, the stars not available at all, unlike Starlink or other satellite services

I'm not a Starlink user either, I do like to look at the sky with naked eyes and telescopes, but I do not share the sentiment that it's imperative to keep it "pure" for the sake of whatever. Also, a personal anecdote, satellite spotting is quite fun :)

How many hours are spent looking at the sky compared to Starlink usage?

The divide between the "blue" and "red" sides lies in the conception of which button kills. The blues think that the red button kills the blues. The reds think that blue button kills the blues. I'm inclined to side with the latter

By picking red you didn't contribute to anything at all, this button does absolutely nothing in practice. If you remove the red button, leaving the choice between pressing blue and not participating at all, the choice to not participate seems quite obvious. The red button adds some "weight" to the decision, but it's materially the same

This document defines a scheme for "AI-adressable" resources without much care about definition of "AI-addressesable" or even the properties of such resources, that require a dedicated protocol.

I get very strong "E = mc^2 + AI" vibes from it, just shoehorning the coveted letters everywhere

You said it yourself - "sugary drinks... tend towards unfavorable consequences". The change happens as the outcome of the desire, not "in the process of the pursuing it".

After listening to a certain science fiction podcast and playing through a certain space puzzle game, I think I've got a bit of a soft spot for tiny worlds, especially a world this charming! Good work

Typst is fantastic and I recommend to dive into it to see how much value it offers. To me personally, the biggest strength is the ergonomics of both the tooling and the language, and how ergonomics persist even between documents of various complexity. Writing a paper in LaTeX is nice, but making something like a CV takes some patience. Meanwhile, in typst it was quick to get started and go all the way to building resumes, character sheets, and I know of at least one occurrence of implementing symbolic math in typst language. It's not without quirks, but still, very solid alternative

I would argue that the second screenshot with redesigned Lighthouse is slightly worse that the "old" design

- the vertical ruler between the sidebar and the content is gone, making page structure less pronounced - the redesigned dropdown menu has no borders or shadows and blends with the primary background - the redesigned dropdown menu lost the little dot which highlighted currently selected option, replacing it with a folder icon, but now it's not useful, because it's the same folder icon for each option - the old design had really nice and noticeable "Add URL" button. I suppose, it was removed in favor of the "plus" button in the sidebar, but it's not nearly as noticeable and without the label it's not clear what it actually does

Sure, the issues in the old version are valid, but I think the redesign introduced more severe usability issues instead of mostly aesthetic issues

> wants C# to be Python or whatever

Oh, how happy would I be if Python had a sliver of C# features. There's nothing like null-conditionals in Python, and there are many times I miss them

That's not true. All nuclear weapons in USSR were built inside modern Russian territory, there was no production in any other republic.
