It kind of worked for us Romanians after executing our dictator and his dimwit wife in '89, by scaring them into fleeing, then a fast capture, followed very quick - slightly unfair - trial and then firing squad, on Christmas Day of all days (and all these recorded).

Of course, afterwards, the new elected president was a former communist party member who tricked everyone that he had changed, and of course his anti-west (and east) propaganda helped secure him his win (because "we should not listen to anybody anymore, so vote for me"), and of course, because of his win, the pseudo-communists still ruled/destroyed the country for the majority of the next 32 years but, anyway, I still say it was a win and I am very proud of our revolution.

Sure, there are those who say that most people died in vein for the revolution but such transitions take a lot of time and it would have taken even more if we waited another 5-10-15 years. It did not help that we were right between east and west either.

Now we celebrate 14 years of being in the E.U., which helped a lot, although we mismanaged tens of billions (sorry E.U.), while we are still many years away from managing so much money correctly and without illegal shenanigans... Also around 17 years in the NATO, which helped a lot I'd say (see our neighbor Ukraine for the contrary; Moldova is also behind us by some 15 years, at least).

But, technologically, the new freedom brought us some very interesting 90's and 2000's, catapulting our internet speeds to number one (sometimes two) in Europe [1] due to our giant nation-wide interconnected LAN-party networks, fueled mainly by piracy (or lets call it "hunger for information and everything that we missed before"). But there is a long reddit post which explains those years much better: [2]. Today everybody and their parents have at least 100 Mbps. Our main ISP doesn't include a 100 Mbps plan anymore anyway. Only 300 Mbps up. Even my parents in a small poor city have fiber since 5 years. Welcome to Romania.

These generated a lot of English speaking young people, me included. Lots of us becoming very good at electronics or IT. Sadly, many self-educated IT engineers left for other countries. We even had a running joke (urban legend mainly) that the second language at Microsoft was Romanian, which of course is said by other countries too (e.g. India) but somehow everybody knows somebody at Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, etc. While many of us are still (thinking about) leaving, placing us 2nd after Syria when it comes to mass emigration, still... executing those two bastards was for the best.

Memory leak. As explained, it's not really Julia's fault.

The caste system is the division of Hindu society into groups based on rank, wealth and/or occupation. Everyone must be a part of the lowest caste (Shudra) in at least one life. One will move through the caste system through reincarnation based on karma. To reach moksha (enlightenment), one must be at the highest caste (Brahmin). The caste system is outdated and is no longer legally used in India; however, some Hindus still believe in it.

No, he's using it to refer to Asian vehicles (and colloquially, people immersed in the culture surrounding them). It's a bit racist, but more of a subcultural epithet.

It's not your web browser, it's your ISP. It sounds like your ISP is hijacking NXDOMAIN to serve ads. If you have Tomato or DD-WRT you can fix this.

Eh, I don't think open source necessarily implies open development. Being able to look at and modify the source code of the software I use is the bar for "open source" for me; I don't expect every organization to do all their development out in the open. Seems like this code was made available while it was still relevant, so I don't think anyone is really at fault here.
This is either the mandela effect (I know for a fact that the server was stuck on "April 2020" for at least 6 months), or Signal intentionally hid development and then revealed it all when they realized it was bad PR.

I recently dropped my NYT sub; jetbrains nonsense was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I know it's a meme to bring up Gell-mann amnesia here, but I will raise it as a basic test for quality in journalism.

When NYT writes about something I know about, I almost always have serious problems with it. Jetbrains in particular. And honestly some of the writing is so bad that even without knowing about the subject, I can tell it is crap, like the article about the SlateStarCodex. I had never read it before that post, but had heard it mentioned in passing. Also, NYT Opinion is Hannity/Shapiro level crap and should be dumped. Stick to the facts please.

On the other hand, The Economist has consistently impressed me; I read/listen with a critical ear and they do a wonderful job even with very niche topics. I've worked on some AR tech and they had a special report that just really nailed it and got into the weeds. Every time I thought "but they didn't mention..." they would mention or clarify a paragraph later.

Economist has a liberal viewpoint and they're not shy about it. I prefer that approach and accept that I disagree with the conclusions/advice from time to time, but the facts are right and error corrections are almost always very minor in nature.

There is good journalism out there, just maybe not from NYT. Please don't give up hope.

> Top-end TRX40 is around $1000 (Zenith II)

Halo boards are always stupidly overpriced. X570 tops out at $1000, too. That's a terrible way to judge a platform's costs.

> PCIe 4's usefulness is questionable (basically just for 100 Gigabit networking right now).

Not true at all. It's more bandwidth to the chipset, meaning you can run double the PCI 3.0 gear off of that chipset than you could before without hitting a bottleneck (well actually 4x since the number of lanes to the chipset also doubled...). That means more SATA ports. More M.2 drives. More USB 3.2 gen 2x2.

> For x399 users TRX40 is underwhelming as it just feels like "pay for the same stuff again" if you want to use new CPUs.

Not disagreeing on that but that's very different from TRX4 is "overpriced vs X399." Just because it's not worth upgrading to the new platform doesn't make the new platform overpriced vs. the old one.
- Exporting to excel is simple. You are provided the final data model after all processing/filtering/sorting/etc is done, and you are free to use whatever means you want to provide that data to your users, eg. The 'xlsx' npm package could do this easily.

- Searching/Filter is quite advanced. You can search/filter on any derived model of the data regardless of the display or format of that data.

- Sorting can also be 100% customized and can be configured to use any derived sorting mechanism that you choose or build, regardless of display or format.

So for these companies, it might make sense to hire more part-time employees and keep people under full-time if crossing that full-time threshold costs more.

In any case, jobs are created to fulfill a need. Companies don't just hire people in order to spend their new tax breaks or because they get to pay less - they do so to fulfill particular needs they have.

On the other hand, if a company was overstaffing due to being able to pay basically nothing, then sure, some minimum wage jobs may be lost. So the very worst-paying jobs might have been cut down slightly. But I'm doubting this is a major factor, as there's a lot of pressure to not overstaff no matter what wages are.
> The CEO of Walmart even advised the feds that they should raise the minimum wage.

High minimum wages favor larger entities than can leverage economies of scale. Amazon has expressed similar support. I don't think this is entirely altruistic.
Is IPv4 shortage really going to be a problem?

For client use, carrier-grade NATs allows to have 1000 IPs per customer, giving 6 million addresses.

For server use, TLS SNI allows to have one IP per datacenter, which are estimated to be around 10 million in the world.

Non-TLS inbound usage is probably relatively rare, so overall around 100 million addresses should be fundamentally enough even accounting growth.

Of course there's a lot of inefficiencies, but the fundamentals seem to say that the IPv4 address space is enough.
Agreed. But that wasn't the end goal for the $15hour movement. The entire effort was touting 'living wage' so making the same take home check isn't helping anyone except for maybe less money spent on day care for their kids.

Four would be optimal (think four sided die---each vertex would be the location of a Kinect) but I think three would work for most situations.
Inasmuch this conversation is subjective, I just do not think that statement is objectively true. It is a basic OO principle that the outside world is not privy to the inner workings of an object (or class if you prefer).

Whether you like that or not is immaterial. You are free to avoid that aspect of OOP or the paradigm altogether.

Why is it surprising? America can't go against every one who doesn't agree with them. It needs to weigh its options carefully and intelligently. The mere reason that Hugo Chavez is still in power testifies to this fact.

The world is not black and white where we might send CIA or Special Forces to neutralize someone who we don't like. It's definitely more complicated than it seems.

There are other, more indirect ways to neutralize what he's doing. A good one is using the media to sway public opinion, etc. Another one is to discredit the guy by linking him to some "terrorist group/government" and say they're funding him, etc.
This: "Not that I'm excusing it,"

Why are people so eager to confess their guilt instead of challenging the government to prove their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt to the satisfaction of a unanimous jury?

The answer is simple and stark: They’re being coerced.
It may be true that we "cannot police misinformation" in a good way. I haven't figured out otherwise.

BUT: I'd really like to know what would happen if we required putting some words like this all over the place (FB, ...): "Please consider: are info sources accurate and reliable? How do we know that?--perhaps based on trustworthy behavior over time of the original eyewitness and all reporters in the chain to us; and corroboration by other such reliable sources? And/or of the organization that employs those people? Do you know who they are, exactly, and their history?"

(I read about some study that I couldn't find later, which said something(?) like that had a useful impact.)

I and my extended family have traveled, read a lot from a variety of sources, gravitate to plainness and honesty and personal growth/learning more than to entertainment, and know people who know people who travel extensively, have personal experience in a variety of fields, etc, and I think many of us are very careful about whom to believe, for what. I think most of us (?) would know, soon enough at least, if we were being duped by digital sources about important things.

Edit: to aid my thinking, here are some interesting other thoughts I got from others' comments here: A significant % of humanity chooses what to believe not based on facts/reliability/truth/honesty/goodwhatevers, but based on things like: ego, group membership, repetition, and what they want to believe (I suppose because it feels more reassuring/familiar/comfortable/safe/simple/easy for them at the time, sometimes due to fears or the other reasons listed above like ego, group..). I suppose rampant addictions (including porn) are major contributing/distorting factors, as people try to self-medicate for their fears and hurts.

Now, how might one best decide whether oneself is susceptible? Maybe we can consider, now and again, what we love the most -- truth, kindness, improvement of self and others, etc, or pleasure/power/attention? I think the first 2 commandments as taught in Christianity are relevant: to love God w/ all our heart, might, mind, and strength (which I suppose is aided by understanding His true nature and the good he offers us); and to love our neighbor (every other human) as ourselves -- treating them the way we would want to be treated, helpfully for their specific situation.

I can't but think some of these fall into premature territory. Configuring a build for the machine is relatively rarely on the critical path. And it is mostly tests before the build. As such, it needs to compare to the build with tests, which typically takes longer than just the build.

> These are luxuries not rights. You don't have the right to go to a bar.

Does that mean that the government has the right to deny the population anything not spelled out as a right in the constitution? That sounds unlimited to me. Don't western governments usually have their responsibilities a bit more narrowly defined?

Granted covid is an emergency. I guess the question is how big an emergency something needs to be before allowing the government to place restrictions that would otherwise be unconstitutional. Reasonable people differ on their opinion of the tradeoffs involved, especially as we move through time.
Wrong comparison. Peloton is manufacturer of fitness gadgets with limited market size. While Amazon is a marketplace gathering fees from sellers with virtually unlimited market size. Everything with hardware is close to death with one leg in the coffin. One mismanagement in supply chain and you are gone. Look at the poor car manufacturers right now. Maybe there is exception - one phone manufacturer that is managing supply chain very well.

I actually use phone for Zoom audio pretty regularly because it has lower latency and higher reliability than computer audio. I recognize that the audio quality is lower, but I'd rather have fewer interruptions and lower latency than nicer quality that is delayed and interrupted.

FWIW, I live in the heart of Silicon Valley, but there's only one ISP available so it's perhaps unsurprising that service isn't stellar.

You could claim that Harris Friedman is an insider - although I don't find a nearly retired (at the time - now actually retired) college professor to be particularly "inside" the journal space, but he is certainly a member of the field.

The people who were insiders (Barbara Fredrickson and the reviewers at American Psychologist) are decidedly unhelpful and uninterested outside of throwing folks under the bus and equivocating around how so much fucking fraud/bullshit ended up in their papers.
Not the OP, but one thing that stands out for me is the (lack of) quality of the documentation. It reads more like a book (that tries to explain how to do things) than a reference (an exhaustive list of all classes, methods, parameters etc.). Ok, it's nice to have the former, but the latter would be far more important!
