Classy detail of Newcastle. 👏
I don't know about you but I was completely unaware that around 2,500 people a year are still being subjected to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in the UK (around a million across the world).
Not only are there massive regional disparities in its use (as a last resort, according to NHS guidelines) after around 80 years of use there remains no consensus on the efficacy of the procedure.
Is this the next medical scandal to hit the NHS, we might wonder?

wait is there really no consensus on it's efficacy?
i thought it was widely acknowledged to be one of the only effective ways to address treatment resistant depression. the side effects can be severe and it doesn't always work, but i thought this was also widely agreed upon. also last i can recall checking it was also looking like it was still more effective than newer approaches to treatment resistant depression, like ketamine and rTMS.
can you say more about this?
Here’s a chart for #bikeTooter, via a BlueSky post shared by a bridged George Monbiot post.

Kind of speaks for itself
Awesome graph. Thanks for sharing. Sad to see UK and France so high. I would love to see other countries, like Japan, Canada, Australia, etc.
The depends upon relation induces a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) over targets, and it is called a dependency graph.
i literally fucking knew they would start the page acting like (1) no one has ever heard of a directed acyclic graph before (2) like that's meaningful or useful at all
i actually can't figure out how many graphs they think they have and i truly do not care

Dear websites,
when I click a text field, I expect my cursor will be at the end of it (or the position I clicked.)

The act of doing "Verschlimmbesserung" with, on the surface good intent, but underneath having bad intent, is the same act that Cory Doctorow calls "Enshittification".
It's the motive for the action.
Making things worse while genuinely trying to imrpove them is just basic Incompetence! 😁
But, making things worse while saying that you are trying to improve, but actually are making things worse deliberately because it is more profitable, that is the textbook example of "Enshittification".
Enshitification doesn't mean an attempt at improvement, but rather a move to increase profit or theft of user information
A target A depends upon a target B if B is needed by A at build or execution time.
they don't even have dependency scopes

You can absolutely create new technological advancements without needing to build in surveillance or genAI.

(Note: the step counter and bluetooth are localized to the watch. You set it up to be recorded by another app. If that other app breaks privacy and sends telemetry back to some uncontrolled centralized server, then that defeats the purpose. But if the app just records and stores locally or sends back to a controlled server, then it's chill.)

@TheBreadmonkey I was surprised how tall they are
literally every time someone says anything about a graph in order to not ship a feature you can tell them d@nny disc@ thinks you're a coward

oh my FUCKING god this took me like 10 minutes to parse
For correct builds, the graph of actual dependencies A must be a subgraph of the graph of declared dependencies D.
they don't literally mean bazel actually has two separate graphs (which confused me because i was about to trash it in a blog post for only having one graph at all times).
they are referring to this from earlier:
A target X is actually dependent on target Y if Y must be present, built, and up-to-date in order for X to be built correctly.
they're saying "yeah we have side effects that aren't explicitly present in our graph model and that is absolutely your job to fix"

@carpetbomberz there's a great Radiolab episode from about 10 years ago when it first started showing up.
Thanks Brian. I know they said in the piece that this has been around for a while back in the 2000s even.
fyi we’ve been locked out of the @comfortzone bluesky and mastodon accounts so don’t count on an announcement coming from there I guess
@nileane erm, that’s sus. I’m sorry!
