I'm currently reading a book called "Financial Shenanigans" and I'd highly recommend it. It's about account shenanigans companies do to make their business seem more profitable than it really is. Not sure if this applies here but interestingly there's a section that discusses IPO's and how investors should be very careful when companies decide to do an IPO through a M&A (Merger and Acquisition) instead of the usual IPO because it circumvents a lot of the SEC scrutiny that they'd normally be subject to in a normal IPO. Found it interesting that SAP acquired Qualtrics a few days before their IPO. Anyways just food for thought.

Yes. My parents and brother own 7-Eleven stores. 7-Eleven almost always owns or leases the land and builds the store. They also own all the equipment. It is their store that they give you right to run. Every few years franchises are given a new contract that they must either sign or lose their store(s). The new contracts are always worse for the franchisee.

I've been helping family and closest friends to ditch WhatsApp for Signal, without much success, so decided to come up with a deadline, announced to everyone and will be deleting WhatsApp then.

It really depends on the rate at which aggregate wealth grows, and the rate at which an ordinary person's share of that wealth shrinks. There is no reason the trend could not continue indefinitely upward, with the poor living better and better lives while still receiving a smaller share of society's wealth. Again, this is not zero-sum -- everyone is going to gain, but some might gain more than others.

Edit:

I am not arguing that the current system is problem-free, only that it has benefited the vast majority people, even if most people do not perceive those benefits or if they are jealous when they see the benefits accumulated by the rich. I suspect people would be much angrier if they were transported back in time and had to deal with the world as it used to exist, when people were poorer at every level of society. I am not claiming to have a political answer, but the facts are not easily denied: at every level of society people are wealthier today compared with the past.

We (a market research/consulting house) use it pretty heavily to survey engineers to ask what types of technology they're using. I'm sure academics use it similarly - put in a list of emails, program and send out surveys, collect data, analyze said data, create reports.

The alternative was some god awful platform without a WYSIWYG editor where you have to code surveys by hand, an enormous waste of time and very inflexible compared to Qualtrics.
The GP was talking about controlling both ends of the connection, I assumed that implied having root-level access to both ends. A scenario where you control both ends but don't have full TCP/IP stack access on at least one side seems pretty academical.

Immigrants aren't only laborers. They are also consumers, increasing demand for economic activity.

At least in the US, claiming that immigrants hold "our values" in lower regard than citizens is not at all obvious.

Why wouldn't workers have recourse? Only illegal immigrants are excluded from protection under law. Unless your claim is that no low-skilled laborer are, which undermines your claim about "our values".

It's slippery-slope, might-happen, fear-mongering like this that seems to "force" members of the alt-right to test the boundaries. Aka, be twattish until somebody calls you out, tells you to go away and then claim unfairness. Same works the other way too.

What are you referring to in your 3rd paragraph? Idle connections in MySQL pose few issues. They just take up some memory for session-level buffers, and that amount of memory depends on what you've configured those buffer sizes to. They also take up a slot in terms of whatever you've configured max_connections to, but that's fully configurable as well.

MySQL has long had some abilities to limit resources on a per-user basis, see https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/user-resources.html for example. This includes the ability to set max simultaneous connections per user.

MySQL's default connection model dynamically uses a thread per connection, which actually tends to handle high connection counts out-of-the-box better than process-per-conn approaches like Postgres's. In my experience, using a proxy like pgbouncer is much more common in Postgres than using a proxy is in MySQL.

I'm not bashing Postgres overall, it's a great DB. But in terms of connection-handling your criticism of MySQL here feels substantially off-the-mark.

There is some very flawed thinking here. One thing is that technology has seesawed the centralization of power between "elite" and masses. Bronze Age armies were elite and superior with professional armies supported by underclasses in a palace economy. Except in addition to the probable famine related bronze age collapse iron won out as quantity having a quality of its own. Horsemen whether heavily armored as in the west or horse archery in the east were the elite that miltia rabble were at a huge disadvantage towards although they faced various setbacks that were slightly democratized like longbowmen or well drilled pikemen (still pretty professional). The reason the French Chevaliers never had their men adopt longbow training was authoritarian - while the English were by no means a bastion of absolute liberty or democracy for anything beyond things to petty to care about like hamlet leading they still had to keep peasants happy enough to not turn their longbows on them. That was unacceptable to the French. Firearms were ultimately their end in relevance as men with guns could be mustered in weeks not months or years. Longbows were technically better in many ways but muskets were cheap. However technology has marched on. If you look at comparable battle reports of a first world professional army they look statistically superhuman in comparison. Apparently the intense training is such that desert locals thought that their body armor had to have air conditioning in it instead of just hydrating up frequently and plenty of PT.

This is a bit of a tangent but the point is that technology goes all over the damn place in terms of what it favors and suppression won't work well.

Also it seems very destroy the village to save it to propose government data gathering as a solution to lack of liberty. Not to mention suspiciously like self justification in both cases.

> Why wouldn't workers have recourse? Only illegal immigrants are excluded from protection under law. Unless your claim is that no low-skilled laborer are, which undermines your claim about "our values".

Legal immigrants would of course have employment law recourse. The vast majority of illegal immigrants currently do not (but should!), and that is what I was referring to. Those dangerous jobs I mention haven't been automated away yet solely because illegal, unskilled labor exists to perform them (see: dairy farms in Wisconsin that cannot exist without that labor [1]) (or the business cannot exist paying legal wages). Illegal immigration subsidizes business owners through the suffering of those immigrants. Legalizing those immigrants (and therefore, pushing their wages into what legal workers command) would eliminate those jobs. Catch-22.

Yeah, it was absolutely incredible to see that clock being generated for the first time. That was the first module we powered up, since it's the easiest -- just give it 4V and 14V power inputs, and it should start clocking. But it was also a scary one, because that's one of the three potted modules in the computer, so trying to fix it would be difficult. And the design review book for the computer has nothing good to say about the durability of one of the components in it.
Fun fact: alloca is neither in (any) C standard or POSIX. It is just a very old extension, implemented in many compilers with somewhat compatible, under specified semantics.
Would you see it the same way if it were related to taxes? As in, if 7-11 found out certain franchisee's were skirting tax laws using their brand name and they reported it to the IRS to avoid any collusion claims ahead of time would that be fascist? If not then how is that different?
> you couldn't own a good car, no matter who you were.

Well, theoretically you can. But you have to be a really high on the ladder.

Brezhnev had several good _imported_ cars. Gagarin had a sport car (gift from French, I believe). Vysotskiy (think of a Soviet Elvis Presley) had a good car.

But other 99.99%... no chance.

Of course, I'm not taking into accounts hundreds of "expropriated" German cars which appeared in USSR after 1945.
> Now it sounds like they're sending out ICE against anyone who criticizes them, even those not breaking the law.

I think lessons can be learned from workstation operating systems that people generally liked including windows 2000 (yeah windows 2000), Golden era of Mac OS, and some features of linux desktop, along with decent unix principles. Microsoft is abusing their os dominance with rent seeking and neglect. Apple's hardware is too expensive to be justifable for most people. Heck, if there could be a decent workstation that just fits on a vesa mount, that just happens to run windows software easily, and doesn't forsake good design decisions every iteration, I think it could be a hit. That would be great progress sadly. I like Mac OS for sticking with design decisions for a lot longer than windows did. But in iOS there are a lot of examples of tutorials breaking because they move preference panes around for no real reason. Please, OS designers, don't do that!

Maybe add some innovation in there like multiple clipboard buffers or something.

Good point. The War on Drugs stated goal of getting rid of an arbitrary subset of drugs and their users failed. The real goal, oppression and mass-incarceration of dark skinned and poor people, was a pretty resounding success.

They’ve at least dropped the pretext with the War on Immigrants. The stated goal is the real goal: oppression, deportation and mass-incarceration of (primarily dark skinned and poor) foreigners and immigrants.
I have to agree, I mean sure PyCharm can be complicated, but it has so many things that a beginner doesn't need and doesn't understand that to me doesn't even seem fair to put them on the same plane. Sure, you write code in both of them, but they don't really serve the same purpose.

The point about your colleagues makes sense. However any averages and distributions would be grossly misleading. It's like analyzing home prices without taking into account home design, location, age, neighborhood, etc.

Transparent prices make sense when the good is commodity, or the service is highly standardized. When work is becoming a service with many variables publishing salaries would produce confusion and boost feelings of injustice (rightfully or not). I see where you're coming from -- price transparency is typically good for market efficiency. However, providing an adequate, accurate salary information on the job market doesn't seem feasible without structured, comparable job descriptions which doesn't seem realistic.

>people are emotional, not stupid.

People maybe not stupid (yet stupidity is relative, not absolute), but they are frequently not rational either. People frequently can't adequately estimate themselves. Most drivers thinks they drive better than half of other drivers. Most people think they're more attractive than half of other people. The same happens on the job market too. Imagine, everyone gets a rank on the dating market from 0 to 10. How many people do you think would agree with that rank? How is it different from salaries?
Oh, courts routinely give binding weight to words like Google's deprecation policy uses, and any large megacorp who is sufficiently badly impacted by a legalese violation (though SLA issues and deprecation issues are two separate things) wouldn't be scared away from a lawsuit by Google being big. I can imagine EU regulatory action or a class action lawsuit as other possible mechanisms.

But as I say in another comment, the contract is less important than both trust and reality. Keep in mind nobody focuses on how AWS doesn't even have a public deprecation policy.

I'm right there with many people in this thread in agreeing that Google has a trust problem, due mostly to real perception issues stemming from Google's habits outside GCP, which can and do impact people's perceptions of what they'll do with GCP.

The reality of what Google has done and will do with GCP, though, is pretty good. Sure they do sometimes deprecate things in ways Amazon never would. But not nearly as often or as abruptly as they do on the consumer side - that would be commercial suicide - and they do other things better than Amazon. Tradeoffs.

I completely agree, I think this is something that C desperately needs.

D has scope(exit){...} which is similar to constructs like defer {...}

Many things can be done in some form with macros and the C11 generic keyword if they have to be, but defering statements to run on scope exit is still elusive as something that can be relied upon.

I mostly don't regret switching from LastPass to BitWarden. Migration of logins was pretty painless. My only issue is with Android/Firefox. (Desktop Firefox + BitWarden is excellent!) The current Firefox doesn't play well with the Android BitWarden app, so you have to use the Add-on. (At least, this has been my experience.) I've also frequently encountered an issue where the menu item in Firefox for BitWarden vanishes and I have to toggle the add-on to re-add it. Over the past four days, I haven't had the issue, so I'm hoping that it's resolved for good. I believe these issues will be resolved, and they are largely not the fault of the BitWarden team; more like the Android platform and the Firefox team getting caught up with the latest best practices. (I believe Firefox Nightly actually plays well with the app, and should not require the clunkier add-on.)

Society now is far fairer than 99.9% of all societies in recorded history. There isn't any universal law that suggests that if we get 10% more income inequality we'll tip over into violence. Historically, we're currently more than "fair enough."

Then I'm confused as to what the franchisee is getting out of the situation.

It's fascinating that "fascism" today means nothing like what it did originally, even though the definition hasn't changed -- the definition of the words in the definition changed!

"Fascism" is a bad word simply because Mussolini came to power when Fascism was popular in Italy, and Nazism became "Fascist" because Hitler allied with Mussolini.

In theory, this makes sense. But I'll be cautiously optimistic about this. We've had this sort of "app is always running and changes are seen live" technology with Visual Basic since a long, long time ago. But that mode of development is hardly the norm across the wide spectrum of developers.

While what you describe happened in Italy, at least in the Mussolini's early years in power, that is decidedly not what happened in fascist Germany, where business powers closely cooperated/collaborated with state powers.
