Seems like the "elites" are holding out hope for something extraordinary to me, like a second referendum. Brexit being as painful as possible is a means to achieve said goal.
I think about this too. Is this a temporary feeling?

My wife read your comment and said "I don't know if your dedication would fade."

She remembers when we were first together and I was selling my software off to a company. I had only been in Silicon Valley for 2 weeks when we met. I hadn't ever had a Starbucks and for some reason I walked by one and stopped in....what a cute Barista.

Thank you. I think I need to really consider where I am at in life and if there is a way to satisfy us both.

It's a great example of the breakdown in understanding of a system. People envision WiFi as a wireless pipe or cable whereas in reality you're broadcasting in every direction out to infinity.

When reality doesn't match peoples' expectations they legislate a 'fix' (making listening illegal) rather than fixing the fundamental technical issue (with encryption, randomized IDs, etc).
Biggest benefit for me is DBeaver is cross platform so I can use the same tool on Windows (work) and Linux (home).

I use DBeaver to connect to Oracle SQL (among other things) and it works well for this purpose. I tried other alternatives too but DBeaver felt the best among them (layout, options, and general speed).
Hopefully it's to get more control over the hardware, especially the chipset. Qualcomm is dragging down WearOS with their glacial pace and underwhelming commitment to the platform.
Completely agree. I've had a session where I was attempting to teach programming to my son cut short because it was considered screen time. That's obviously a very different activity than crushing candy.
I consider myself in a category waiting to be served. The only features I care about are health monitoring. I was initially excited about the Apple Watch because of the rumored health features, but very few made it to the final product.

To be clear, I don’t mean fitness tracking - I don’t care about that. I mean all the other variables that a device on my wrist could track that could be vital to preemptive diagnosis or explaining a new issue. The need to charge the watch nightly was a total dealbreaker - many of the variables I want to track are during my sleep.

All the other watch features are worthless to me - I have my phone for those. I want a “watch” to focus/differentiate on the things only a device attached to my skin 24/7 can do.
Coming from the nuclear industry, this sounds crazy, even compared to our outage culture.

Another thing is how commentators describe constituencies in psycho-graphic terms, not concrete interests. You hear that rural people are "unhappy and left behind." Well some rural people in England are that, and some work at the Nissan factory and they probably don't see Brexit as being good for their job. The point is that there aren't enough people working at an automobile plant (in England) to form a really powerful constituency. Society is more fragmented and there are fewer large blocks of people who have a concrete political interest.

Causes of termination at bart3r's company last month:

- Bob unzip a Python package.

- Dennis suggested we hire a "penetration tester".

- Mrs. Fraulein was caught browsing "Jew Tube".

- Helen used an essential software product from a "Pentaho"company for more than three years. Mr. Flanders was so disturbed he bought that company and renamed it "Itachi Vantara".

- Raul was using "Zope" to build our Intranet, until our Purity squad learned it was an insult in Spanish.

- David boasted about installing "OpenSIS" at his university.

- Susan was reported for surreptitous use of "ClamAV".

I also recommend terminating Derek for using "Google". It's not in the blacklist, but it just sounds obscene.

Ketracel white?
I have not. The continuous integration infrastructure at megacorp was merely a symptom of some major cultural problems that over the course of a few years just weren't going to be addressed to my satisfaction, so I left. Paying for Cloudbees was a painful exercise, and I think the guy that was pushing for it ended up getting shitcanned. After all, the whole point of deploying Jenkins was to avoid paying for TeamCity.

For my personal stuff, I haven't looked at buildkite primarily because I'm looking for free, open source solutions. The secondary (but no less important) issue is that I'm also looking for coverage for *BSD. Buildkite lists FreeBSD support so, assuming it's not a Linux binary expected to run under the translation layer, they could presumably offer binaries for the other BSD variants. Right now I've got some buildbot workers setup on some bhyve VMs with df/net/openbsd and some jails with FreeBSD.

The big thing I've noticed is that lots of tools will list FreeBSD support at least, but few of those claims are actually tested. Even fewer mention any of the other BSDs. For example: Elixir deployments on FreeBSD have been broken for months; Hashicorp put out a FreeBSD build of their vault ssh helper that didn't work by design -- but they had no idea because they never tried to validate the build; rust's libc crate lists FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD as tier 1 platforms, but they're only testing the crate on an old version of FreeBSD (where they've disabled some key tests due to a misunderstanding rendering the tests not super useful)... plus they're not in a good position to deal with the C ABI changing between releases.
Heh, sure, "far from clear" is what I meant to say.

It would take substantial time, expertise, and effort to audit that single web page. Even then any of the numerous pieces could change at any time.

> A relatively thick rectangle with a rounder back is going to have a center of mass that is further away from the wrist. It comprises a very small cantilever, which is still quite large on the scales of the traditional watch.

Yeah, I think you've nailed it. I was going to mention the thickness of the Series 4, but it's far thinner than, say, an Omega Speedmaster.

To your point, traditional watches with sapphire backs also have prominent wrist presence, since the caseback domes outward similar to (but not as much as) Apple Watches.

Also consider that traditional watchbands connect to lugs that protrude from the watch body and often curve downward to follow your wrist. This also lowers the cantilever towards the wrist. Watches that do not do this (like the Nomos Club) have a much larger wrist presence, and the Apple Watch completely lacks lugs so that the band connects mid-body.

Trump could have gotten his wall when republicans had both the house and the senate. He didn't push it because not enough republicans wanted it I guess, and he wouldn't shutdown the government based on his own party not funding the wall.

Now that the dems have the house, he (and the republicans) can just blame the dems. But if congress really wanted to end this, they can just pass a budget with enough votes and override the president's veto. But instead, the republicans sit back and blame the dems, without having to admit to trump's base that they don't want a wall.

It's reprehensible.

It's tricky. The EU of 1975 is very different from the EU of 2018 (indeed, the "EU" didn't exist then, just the EEC). Does joining a customs union even require a referendum? My initial strong gut response to this is that it shouldn't, but it's also abundantly clear now that a customs union can easily lead to much greater integration over decades. Boiling a frog. Note that all the increased integration was accepted by the elected governments of the UK, so you can't write this off as some authoritarian, anti-democratic power creep by the EU bureaucracy.

And now the immediate implications of leaving the EU are much greater than the immediate implications in 1975 of joining a customs union, so even if a 50%+ referendum was enough for a customs union, a strong argument can be made that leaving the EU should be held to a higher standard.

I think the main takeaway of this experience should be this: the EU should never accept new members unless there's durable majority support in the member country for being a part of the EU. One plausible version of this is 60%+ support in two consecutive elections.
From the link: "Negative and positive rights are rights that oblige either action (positive rights) or inaction (negative rights)".

How is it different?
Not my point. The parent to your post was talking about oppressive authoritarian regimes. You compared to a democratic state with free elections and the rule of law that happens to also consistently vote a certain way. These aren't even remotely the same thing.
The US had a huge number of hijackings in the late 60s through early 70s [1]. There has not been a single hijacking or terrorism related death on a commercial airliner in the US since the TSA was created. The TSA doesn't deserve all the credit there as other post-9/11 security changes were implemented at the same time, but you can't just hand wave away their role in that unprecedented streak of safety.

Does that mean Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage, Jacob Reese-Mogg, Michael Gove and their friends are not "elite"? In that case, I don't think that word means what you think it means.

The truth is that there are bits of elite on both sides, and that humanizing a social class is just a propaganda trick.

That surprised me also but that is 6 people per home. Considering the institution of the extended family is probably not completely dead, that doesn't seem altogether implausible.

DataGrip is essentially a stripped down version of IntelliJ packaged with their database plugin. Dbeaver is similar but using the Eclipse framework instead.
I know I can solve that by allowing "everytuldhing" to connect, but that is not my point. Hence my ""I'm sure that it could be solved in my configs by allowing that particular IP"" comment.
That it's `Docker on mac` is kinda irrelevant, as it's still just a virtual machine with a somewhat static IP. My point is, that when it comes to transparency on that level, this piece of software does not acknowledge that, but Sequel Pro does. I'm not a particular fan of Sequel Pro, but it just works in these types of case.
I'm still expecting, that software like this, would be able to handle this type of "proxy mechanism", so from outside the docker container, I could still connect through 127.0.0.1 to it, thus making the default config adequate.
Not sure if this is even makes sense, but I feel, that when connecting through a binding docker port, it should still use the origin IP ie. 127.0.0.1
I didn't think memory would be a major concern for storing what sounds like less than 100kb of data on a server-side application.
> This is possible, but more work than a two-click mute on social media platforms.

It was four clicks for me to set up an email filter on Gmail in response to a message in my inbox.

And there's considerably more filtering options, had I wanted something non-trivial, than there are on FB or Twitter, which are all or nothing -- after all, on email I have the option to more than mute, such as to classify the message based on various parameters.
the numbers were for urban homes I believe. China has a LOT of rural or small-town inhabitants. Not sure what the breakdown is these days though.
> the question is simply: here's a data structure, we need to traverse it in a certain order

Because BFS/DFS are so easy to interchange, I'd strip ordering out entirely: here's a collection of stuff where each element may also point to other stuff in the collection, starting with this element search through the stuff to see if you can find a certain element.

If I was going to ask this problem, I'd help a nervous-looking candidate by contrasting the problem (or leading with) a simpler still one: here's a collection of stuff where each element can point to at most one other thing, starting with this element see if you can find a certain one in the collection.

Linear search is, technically, an algorithm. Graph search just extends it. All these people railing against algorithms in interview problems as non-applicable surely have at least written a for loop over an array and had an if statement somewhere inside, right? Linear search. When I've given interviews I don't try to make them based on "algorithmic knowledge"[0] but at the same time I really don't like the trend of thinking of algorithms in general as "oh, that's someone else's job, I never use those" or "I can only implement algorithms by memorizing them."

[0] When I was just starting to get asked to give some I lazily asked a colleague for a reference problem, they sent me https://leetcode.com/problems/jump-game/description/ and I read the problem, immediately recognized that the general approach of graph searching would solve it[1], and coded up the 12-15 lines or so it took, made some tests, fixed some minor mistakes... Total start-finish time was 10-15 minutes, not the fastest. There's also a solution to that problem that doesn't require thinking of it as a graph, too, but I think it's harder to get the insight. Anyway, nice problem, I thought, I'll only give a problem if the candidate has 2x the time it takes me to solve it as a buffer for interview nervousness/whatever, but after giving it to a few people only one of them managed to solve it in like 50 minutes after creating a pretty verbose and pseudo-coded BFS system. (My initial approach used DFS, but it doesn't matter here -- though for the jump game 2 sequel problem which asks to find the shortest number of jumps, BFS makes sense, and it's easy to take the solution for the first problem and make minor alterations. General algorithms like "search" are great and widely applicable.)

[1] In retrospect, before I saw the problem I was writing a simple game of go client as a side project, and had recently implemented a function to, given a point on the board, determine if there's a stone there and if so determine if it's part of a larger group of stones and return their coordinates. So in some sense the problem was already 'primed', and I've written a lot of graph search skeletons for both fun and profit. It's interesting to hear that some people go decades without doing so...
> My email list is broadcast-only but any replies go directly to me.

If I were to do this, I actually think it would be cool if those in the mailing list could choose whether they want to reply to the whole list or to just me (as easy as removing the list from the CC line). That way, there can be a semi-public discourse with your friends, if you still want something like the "comment thread" from facebook.
Is there something about the idea of learning the workings of other people's minds that attracts such egotists to psychology? The field (and social sciences) needs to clean house and critically re-evaluate itself and its supposed heroes.
The law of the universe dictates that our world is always moving toward entropy (chaos) no matter what, and things will keep getting more and more chaos everyday.

These so called "elite" politicians are after all just homo sapiens, thus limited by human capabilities. They are nothing more special than you and me. Nobody really has any fucking clue what's going on or how to fix it. Nobody has been more wrong throughout the history than those expert economists. Everybody sort of just wings it and hope they will get lucky. Even a broken clock is correct twice a day.

This shows you what a clusterfuck we are all in. Stop fighting, go get a drink and just enjoy the ride as there's nothing we can do to fight against the force of entropy. Shit will sort itself out.
