I don't consider anarchocapitalists part of the Anarchist tradition. Even Rothbard said "We must therefore conclude that we are not anarchists, and that those who call us anarchists are not on firm etymological ground, and are being completely unhistorical."

Anarchists, like other communists, have as their goal a "classless, moneyless, stateless society". This absolutely cannot include capitalism because any capitalist society inherently allows for classes to exist and would probably require money. Furthermore, it is pretty evident that capitalism cannot exist without a state and therefore the term "anarchocapitalism" is an oxymoron.

This is wonderful! Did they honor their work hierarchy, i.e. exceptions from junior developers will always extend exceptions from senior ones?
Plain old browser free of any cookies (I use either a dedicated account, or switch to a child's Firefox container tab), and a free account on typing.com works. The free account has advertisements. Hence the generic blank browser so ads don't reflect your own browsing history, and will start to reflect the child's instead. I prefer the advertisements, because it trains the children to deal with mild distractions while typing, as they will grow up in a world where they will have an advantage if they acquire the skill to type under heavy distraction.

But YMMV depending upon the child's level of focus; spring for the paid account if the advertisements are too distracting. "Too" in this context for me means the child stops the lesson altogether to watch the ads.

I start out by setting expectations that I don't care about speed, I only care about accuracy and correct finger placement, and the speed will come later with more time and practice. Inevitably, they want to see you typing as fast as you can and will want to emulate that, so I discourage any emphasis upon speed while learning. The lessons have an accuracy ranking represented as 1-3 stars, and the rule I enforce is they must achieve all three stars (95% accuracy) before advancing to the next lesson.

Finger placement on the keys is difficult for children this young when starting, but a 5 yo will generally catch on reasonably well after about 5-10 lessons. Usually they lack the fine motor control to prevent stray key strikes when that young, so when first starting out, I limit the lessons to 4 attempts at a single lesson to reach 3 stars, then praise them for sticking with it even if they don't get it, and move on to another activity.

After passing the second lesson, I show them how to restart a lesson so if they feel like they are making too many mistakes they can try again without having to go through the system's feedback and feeling dejected by it. I always effusively praise steady persistence performed without undue emotional drama, and if that day's lesson proves too tumultuous, we gently disengage.

Depending upon the individual child, you will have to sit with them to enforce correct finger placement anywhere from 3-10 lessons. There is an enormous temptation at first when there are only a couple keys to learn for a child to use their index finger in a pointing fashion like they are used to their entire lives up to this juncture, instead of properly splaying their fingers out on the keyboard, which is a highly unaccustomed position for them. The dots on most computer keyboard home rows definitely helps center them.

You feel your way through with each individual child, but generally you can ramp up to four lessons per day at 6 yo, and by then it goes fairly quickly. This is already a wall of text, so I omitted how I calibrate ramping up and other starting out guidelines I created as I went along, feel free to respond here if you want more details, but this should get you started.
You are assuming that there are test specifications - in many organizations thorough testing before shipping is a thing of the past. A/B and testing in production is the new norm unfortunately. That's probably part of the problem. Since the users are the product being tested it makes even sense.
Tools for automatically updating source code would be a good thing. It'd allow removing old compatibility features, and save time modernizing code bases. Python did it with 2to3.

Oh, that's great! Thank you for taking my comment constructively.
As is indefinitely means nothing when clients need updates.

Now if you promised to open source the whole thing when turning off the lights, along with the build tools, etc. That would be meaningful.

This is what I do for clients of my software and SaaS products. I give them the source code, build notes, and all related documentation. The only caveat is they cannot resell or use that software in any manner beyond their own implementation as long as my company is operational.

This is how I sell all my projects. The funny thing is, when every single one of them needs a fix 1-5 years later, they've lost everything I've given them. Fortunately, I archive everything for this reason.

This is like the "Lifetime Warranty" nonsense IMO. Just use your tools now, make sure you can export as necessary and if your core competency is using someone else's tools, make sure you're staying on top of those tools (and opportunities for your own company).
The “Big Theory” on American Urban Development
If you need to use C# in Excel, you're doing it wrong. There's very little programming that you should be doing with VBA, too.

Most of your programming should be DAX plus a bit of worksheet functions. Some SQL to filter your data before loading into Power Pivot.

SQL yes, of course. You run SQL queries to load data into Power Pivot through a native SQL Server driver or native drivers for your DB or worst case ODBC.

Then you do all the BI analytics in DAX and show results in pivot tables. DAX is a very fast, concise and very, very powerful language for analytics. This is the whole purpose of OLAP.

I've gone down this path a few times and days later when I still don't have the original thing I wanted working installed, then I sort of give up. I realize there are many benefits to Nix and I really enjoy them but I've switched to using Arch for practical reasons. I really, really miss the declarative reproducible style though.

Unless there's a licensing process that makes the agency money or shows up in the numbers they show their bosses (like in this case), no regulatory agency in my experience is ever willing to clarify if something is legal or not. Their only response is to hire legal advice, and they'll take legal action against you if you're wrong. It's stupid that just knowing if the government will let you do something often requires paying money to a private business licensed by that same government for an educated prediction that you could very well still end up being responsible for if it's wrong.

Agreed. I ran Nix for a while.. I love the concept of it, but I ended up bailing for a similar reason. I desired Nix because I wanted simplicity that immutability (conceptually) brings. Yet, the OS and especially dealing with non-immutable packages/etc were just way too much of a headache.

I left Nix hoping that in a few years it would be far friendlier. It really feels like the future.

> A user who does not understand an answer to a question they have can easily ask for clarification without reposting the same question again

Often times people just starting to learn or are new to a subject matter dont know what they dont know. So they might simply not have the capacity to realize they are asking a similar question or that an answer to another question will suit their needs. I feel its more beneficial to allow these people to ask their questions with the limited expanse of knowledge they have and use it to learn. Hopefully as a result will one day return the favor. The system now shuns these people and they never return or help and end up disliking the community.

>By encouraging post duplication, you will quickly burn out folks who want to be helpful

In your scenario, Group A got dragged into the mud by Group B. If they wanted to stay ethical, they would've been "dominated". They chose strength and survival over staying "clean". Like I said before, it's fine, and I'd probably agree with it. It may even be the lesser of two evils. I need to reiterate that I'm not disagreeing with Group A's actions here to resist. I'm just saying accept the fact that you're probably trading your ethics for it.

I think the key difference between our points of view is how strictly we want to define "being ethical". I'm pretty strict about the definition. At the same time, I'm okay with being labeled unethical from time to time.
I feel like one day this will be how all OSes work and we'll look back and wonder how we ever found the old way acceptable.

Basically it's a matter of having multiple redundant sensors and sounding the alarm if they don't all agree on what is going on, and also checking if what they think is going on is in the realm of reasonable possibility based on some a priori model (e.g. if suddenly all of your sensors tell you that you are 100 miles from where you were one second ago, that's probably a mistake even if all the sensors agree). That's a serious oversimplification, but that's the gist.

You exactly nailed the problem on the head. Modern medicine is totally off track we have specialists that zoom into to a particular part of the body missing forest for the trees.

I see tons of supplements in costco for joints , apparently only solution that modern medicine has come up for "arthritis" is taking crap loads of NSAIDS which often make the problem worse and cause new ones like gastro troubles, now you are taking NSAIDS and reflux meds which in turn cause more troubles. Everyone goes on pretending that this is some sort of cutting edge "modern medicine" . Disgusting.

$80K? That's peanuts. Government projects that are outsourced run in the 10's or in some rare cases even 100's of millions of $/E/YourFavoriteCurrency and get cancelled because of non-delivery with alarming regularity.

I see a lot of outsourcing deals in my daily practice, 70% or so ends well, 20% ends with a lot of friction and 10% or so fails utterly leaving the contractor with a damaged reputation and the contracting party out a lot of money. It's not rare to see these end up in court.

You really need to do research on any company that you want to outsource part of your development work to. Talk to their other customers, get to know the people in the team that will do the actual work, in other words: do your homework.

If you don't you're going to end up in trouble, more or less guaranteed.
I've been on the other end of this a fair few times (hence the anonymous account).

The first time I was working on an app, most of our pair programming with a much more experienced dev. I needed to keep the job to keep my visa. When the more experienced developers quit I couldn't get anything done. I strung things out as long as possible but eventually people cottoned on to the fact that I wasn't productive.

The next time I had pushed really hard to get the job. "Fake it till you make it" they told me. I spent two months at the job and I didn't even manage to get the development environment set up. I used to hide in the toilets crying from the stress. I was let go at the end of my probation period.

I just wanted to let people know what it's like on the other side. Not everyone is some bad guy trying to screw you over. Sometimes it's just a normal guy trying to get by and not managing.
This may be anecdotal, but at many of the places I've worked, the employer doesn't even bother to ask the employee why their underperforming before firing them. That conversation often times starts with, "We've decided to let you go because..."
You're right, it's not bad, but chances are one will need to do a bit of packaging work if using NixOS for many different or complicated things.

But as I said, it's all in all really nice to work with Nix.

Is Arch Build System one of the systems you've ever worked with? (I found ABS very convenient.)
Ideally I would periodically track my diet for a few weeks and only supplement for deficiencies, but I've found that when I track what I'm eating, I eat differently.

So instead I take half a multivitamin to ensure I'm not totally deficient in anything. Reasoning:

> On this point, let me emphasize the logical corollary which I've spelled out repeatedly but that people keep missing: unless your diet is composed entirely of fries, Coke, and fast-food burgers with the lettuce, ketchup, and tomato thrown out, no one should be taking a full daily dose of any commercial multivitamin. You are absolutely guaranteed to get too much of many nutrients, and to create or exacerbate imbalances in others.

I use NixOS daily, and the rough areas now are mostly lack of really thorough documentation and dealing with software that is not packaged for Nix and has an unclean way of getting built. It's surprising how many pieces of software have hardcoded paths to e.g. Python binaries.

My temporary fix for the latter is using a Docker with Arch for quick and dirty one-time things.
If everyone did that then some of these problems wouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately ...

Try ear plugs but the tapping on the back of the head trick works temporarily (shorter based on how bad your tinnitus is).

Take your hands and put them facing backward on the back of your head covering your ears completely, tap your fingers on the back of your skull (while keeping your ears covered) like you're playing drums.

Do this for I dunno, 30 seconds or so. It temporarily takes away the issue.

I use white noise (or brown noise) to help with it. I sleep with a fan, but have since I was a kid.
