Small towns get worse the further you are from the default. For example, dating here is terrible. All the men are assholes or very deep in the closet.

The women are super religious. Think bible quotes as Tinder profiles. And I don't mean "their bios have a lot about religion in them." I mean that's their whole profile. A bible quote.

And I doubt many gender non-comforming people in my age range are out about it. There is no way I'm taking my queer ass to one of the three dive bars to do it the traditional way.

That's not even getting into the lack of entertainment options. This town is at least close enough to Atlanta and Athens for good internet options and reasonable support for LGBT+ people in government. They had updated marriage licenses ready before the SCOTUS ruling.

If you're a straight, white, cis dude who doesn't mind traveling to the nearest city for anything fun to do, knock yourself out. At least get a hotel paid monthly and spend some real quality time in a prospective small town first. Even if you are super default, I don't see how you could enjoy it if you're remotely intellectually curious.

I'm getting out of here ASAP.
This title (for posterity: "All mainstream languages marketed as functional are losing market") is extremely editorialized and is even contradictory to the text of the article. Please don't do this.

I think you're missing his point. Say your hypothetical person is making $10,000,000/year already. He has the opportunity to work 40% harder to 10x his income up to $100M/year. However, at this point, his marginal tax rate under your scheme is already 97%, which means that on that extra $90M in theoretical income, he will only take home an extra $2.7M. Now, it's not worth it for him to make that extra effort, to only increase his realized income by 27%.

The next question is: Why should you, someone presumably not making $10m/year, care? We care because when someone increases their earnings from $10M to $100M, in theory, they are doing so by creating value for society. In fact the people at the highest ends of the income distribution should be the ones creating the most value. So we really do want them to be incentivized to earn more. To ensure that they are, we need a top marginal rate that strikes a balance between unnecessary super wealth, and incentivizing the value creation that drives the tremendous prosperity of the modern economy. This is a delicate balancing act, to be sure. But it is extremely important to understand that it is a balancing act.
The point isn‘t that some new technology leads to different failure modes. That‘s okay, and good if the total number of fatalities gets lower.

But that isn‘t the case with Tesla. Tesla tries to get away with inadequate hardware and misleading advertising (I‘d even call it outright lies if you show a video touting the ease of unattended autonomous driving, and deep down on the page you bury in small print that availability depends on the jurisdiction — meaning „nowhere“)

Tesla not only wants to make a lot of money, which means that getting adequate hardware is unattractive, they also need the „Elon as visionary“ nimbus, which also means they cannot concede that their initial estimate what they needed was simply wrong, and they seem to have money trouble on the horizon anyway.

That‘s what makes the company scummy.

I might be a bit conservative, but this seems like a regular chromatic keyboard and the music notation seems to add little readability and I can't see much advantage. I am however speaking as a very notebound musician (professional bassoon player).

What are your experience with beginners?
My first experience programming on computers was o a demo version of VB4 (could not export .EXE), and later on JavaScript (copying and pasting things from the Internet).

Nowadays it's even easier to learn how to program without paying anything.
I’ve seen better people have more severe lapses of judgement.

In my experience, most meat-eaters don't care if you're vegetarian. If you're vegetarian, it's "Oh, that's nice. Next item on the agenda?"

However, by creating a place that is definitely vegetarian, it opens up the potential for hostility toward meat-eaters, which is worrisome.
Yep, that's about what I'm doing, and it's fine. Good, even.

But a similar unit in condo form would require a $200k downpayment (save $2000/mo for 9 years) and then $5500/mo through the 30-year mortgage term. That's assuming prices stay flat for 9 years, which would be extraordinary. I don't see any part of my company's SWE job ladder supporting those numbers. But if I want to try, I can't allow my lifestyle to inflate at all under future raises. They all need to be shoveled into that gaping hole.
Among other things we use the issue tracker for feature proposals. So it is not a good proxy of work in progress.
The graphs for major programming languages shows a decline in the number of monthly active users using JavaScript, interestingly this decline seemingly coincides with the incline of TypeScript users. I'd love to see whether people who stopped using JavaScript started using TypeScript instead.
I like LinkedIn because it gives me a sense of how the market is doing. As a Dutch developer, I get messages just about every single weekday. Especially last year it's been crazy: I've had 3 recruiters in 20 minutes. Unfortunately employers are more willing to pay (multiple) recruiters than to just increase salary to snatch developers from lower paying employers. The free market is not working that well for us developers if we keep giving recruiters the chance to act as intermediaries. Out of principle I only deal with employers directly or in-house recruiters. I'm not saying they're all bad, but I've seen a lot of them who approach Javascript devs for Java positions and visa versa... they add no value in the next step of your career.

I often encounter people having issues double-clicking.

Actually, a lot of people have trouble just single-clicking, so double-clicking is even more of a challenge.

A lot of people just can't get the knack for clicking twice in quick succession. And the inconsistency between when they should single-click and when they should double-click causes a lot of confusion.

I think it probably would make life easier to get rid of the double-click.
Right; the specific quote I'm referring to is:

> The JTAG port is permanently disabled when Level 2 is active (acting as a JTAG fuse). As a consequence, boundary scan cannot be performed.

(RM0385, page 89)

I'm pretty sure that this quote is only intended to mean that setting RDP2 disables JTAG boundary scan, as if a JTAG fuse were blown. I don't believe there is any actual fuse involved; AN4701 (the document you're quoting) may be the result of another ST employee misinterpreting the reference manual as a statement that there is an actual fuse.
Of course! When my company decided to embrace javascript, I spoke out against javascript and pushed for typescript, the entire engineering team is writing typescript instead of javascript.
Thanks for replying.

I think there's a wide gulf between what people estimate their rights to be and their actual rights granted to them by law.

> there's no point to DRM. I still can torrent any content I want

DRM appears to be useless because you are incorrectly assuming DRM's purpose is to stop or reduce piracy. DRM is and always has been about controlling the playback platform.

Media companies like DRM so the can force anyone making a player to not implement features they don't like. Their ability to control how media is used was severely limited when the Betamax case[1] (1984) established that using a home video tape recorder to time shift was is fair use. Unable to legally control how media is used, media companies hade regularly attempted to establish and require a DRM scheme they could use to technologically control use.

The proper response is to tell the media companies their right to control a copyright protected work ends at the first sale[2].

I thought managers would give up on talking about "microservices" about 2 years ago I thought they would latch onto "blockchain" and "crypto." The are still talking about "microservices" but just mean that they want each team to have their own hardware and communicate over the network. Look, this stuff is three decades old at least. When someone says "microservices" I know they are a clueless idiot manager. They can't explain what they are talking about in terms of build, deployment, versioning, networking, processes, etc. They try to enforce mistakes that explode performance. They say "monolith bad." The can't really say anything beyond that because they are faking it.

Don't like monoliths? here's a "microservice architecture" for you, Java servlet API, circa 1997. Everyone can package their micro-service into a WAR file and deploy it to a service environment. That's right, Companies were doing this shit in the 90's. It probably amazes these same people to know there were servers and computer networks in the 1980's as well. Http was not even the first popular protocol of its kind.

What I hate are these managers who pretend they know what they are talking about saying, "microservices", but they are fucking faking it every step of the way.
> The media coverage makes more sense when you realize that most journalists are deeply unhappy people who are, internally, banging their heads against the wall as a result of never having learned any practical skills. They viscerally hate the idea of progress, because by definition they will not be part of progress. They much prefer that the world be stuck.

I think your overthinking this unless you have a trustworthy source; humans are just captivated by all drama related to the most successful. It's not that most people reading celebrity gossip know they will never have a successful long-term marriage and therefore buy magazines publishing the divorce of Brangelina.

WeWork isn't preventing people eating meat. They're just opting not to give people free meat.

it will be hard and costly to enforce this rule

Presuming WeWork currently have some way of recording their spending on food for employees, I can't see how this will be much more work to enforce?
Power sector isn't ready, nor anyone else. Developing power to heavy usage areas from available generation areas is like building new railroads. Success will arise from new, large, government-granted monopoly operations and be slow and pricey without political support at local levels and paying to or seizing from the many literal NIMBY people affected.

They don't plan to fire anyone for eating meat so I don't see the relevance of the question.
I have been driving a Model 3 since for 3 months now and it's the most amazing car I have ever had. I switched from a BMW 3 series, which is a no contest comparison. The autopilot is the killer app for driving long distances on the freeway especially in traffic. I let a friend drive for a while and then, after driving home in his own car, said 'I feel like I just saw a washing machine and now I have to wash my clothes by hand.'
"Inequality of outcomes" is essentially what we don't have. These days, as capital has become even more important, your likely outcome is relatively easy to calculate. In many major cities today it is almost better to be wealthy and unemployed, than successful and wealthless. This state of things is somewhat expected of Europe, but lesser so of the US, or at least not of Americans.
I’m writing this comment from a small village close to the Carpathians, where my brother lives and where my family on my father’s side has lived for generations (half of the land on which the village’s church was built was “donated” by my family), I for my self live in a city with a population of 2 million people. As such, I just wanted to comment on the “everybody knows everybody else in a small town/village” and the implicit assumption that that would only cause “positive” feelings. It doesn’t.

Back to my brother: he has been through a nasty divorce (divorces also happen in small towns/villages) and as such half of the village (the one who “listened” to his ex-parents-in-law) now think that he (my brother) is the scum of the earth. That isn’t good at all for my brother’s psyche. Also, my brother happens to be better at what he does (driving a lorry all over Europe for a living and in his free time raising a couple of cows and making some pretty good palinka-like drink) compared to some other villagers, and because of that those villagers sort of envy him, so much so that some of them have directly approached my brother’s new life companion and have told her about how in fact my brother is a not that big of a deal because he hasn’t accomplished this and that and that other thing. And I could go on and on with examples like these, all of which haven’t directly affected me while living in the big city: “My neighbor thinks bad of me? F.ck him, I don’t care what he thinks!”. The quiet and calmness is pretty nice in the village though, of that there’s no doubt.

That is exactly the kind of question that is not your concern if we work together.

You sure as hell don't want to be asking that of a subordinate, due to the power imbalance.

Alleged leader of the Gang that killed Junior, [Junior was never innocent]
Oh, and to answer OP's question, no microservices are absolute shit for startups. You want all your code in the same address space so there is zero communication overhead between different parts of the code. Hosting small services all over the fucking place was only due to small hardware in the past. Today, we can get 128 core machines with multi-terabytes of RAM if it is needed. It becomes a problem of how do we deploy code independently in small units. Well, any platform that can hot swap code does just that.

Is it widely supposed criminal tendencies cause lead ingestion, then?
I guess the accuracy of this characterization rests on what exactly is meant by "mainstream languages marketed as functional" - specifically, the "marketed" bit - but I would argue that the mainstream trend is to embrace functional programming. Python, Kotlin, and Golang all support functional programming in non-trivial ways. Java streams, lambdas, and immutables each represent huge shifts towards functional programming style. C++11 and C# 3.0 have added similar constructs (according to Wikipedia, at least - I am less familiar with these languages). So while the relative interest in 'academically pure' functional languages may be declining, it seems to me that stylistically functional programming is becoming more popular than ever.
It's a kit :)
I am sure they can figure that out in the 20 years it's going to take for that to be a reality.
Also, on servers, Intel has (requires?) SPS: server platform services. It's like an ME, but worse, and without a way to neuter it.

Edit: a quick search yields a common core or division at Intel behind the ME and SPS, so that makes a bit of sense. There has been at least 1 exploit in the wild for that SPS, it also lists TXT and ME, so I guess it's a shared (MINIX?) kernel that had the bug.

I care about companies not making moral judgements on behalf of their employees.

I guess this particular restriction aligns with your morality closely enough that you are happy to give it a pass. What if instead, a company morally objected to halal slaughter and refused to reimburse employees for halal meals? What if they decided coffee production was too likely to have involved child labour and so that's off the list too. Surgery deserts make people fat and can lead to diabities, can't go paying for that either.

For what it's worth 3 of my sister's are vegan. My mother has been vegetarian since the age of 9. So it's fair to say I've eaten my fair share of meat free meals.

I think as a company there are a whole bunch of things you could do to promote vegetarianism without alienativing 90% of the population. An easy one would be offering a similar range of vegetarian alternatives as they do normal meals.

I guess this could theoretically be true somewhere, but in the US—one of the biggest consumers of meat—cattle are fed corn, which is one of the most water-consuming things to grow. 60% of corn eaten in the US is animal feed.
A little older than you (prolly couple of years).

I remember how when I was a teen and coding a lot inside the Turbo C IDE, it became second nature to press F2 frequently (to save).

Around that time, while working on math homework (on paper), I'd occasionally experience brain farts, where I would think of pressing (not reach for) the F2 key.

FWIW, I have decent handwriting today, and even exchange correspondence with some friends using pen-and-paper.

I do agree that touchscreen usage should be restricted for toddlers.
If you run Redis on a public interface without authentication then it will spit out a bunch of warnings and make you aware of the security implications. The changes antirez has made to Redis both in terms of secure defaults and notifying users of insecure settings has directly lead to a huge reduction in Internet-exposed Redis instances.

And I was trying to address this point:

> Even then, every setup I’ve seen have AMT (a separate Ethernet interface) behind a firewall and is only accessible via local network.

In the past, manufacturers used that defense when a security researcher approached them about a problem and they justified the lack of patching by saying things like "nobody would put this on the Internet". There are simple things a manufacturer can do to encourage good security by the end-user (ex. showing a warning). I don't believe that blaming the end-user is a viable path to fixing the problem. This issue isn't specific to Intel but I would prefer it if the vendor implemented more security safeguards to prevent users from inadvertently increasing their attack surface.
