> It's time to stop being dickish and work out what we're going to do in the new reality whether we like it or not. Ridiculing half the population as uneducated xenophobes isn't going to achieve anything.

In the interest of stopping being dickish, you could start by admitting that brexiters are not, in fact, "half of the population". Around 1/4 of the population voted for brexit on the Referendum [1]. Since then, it's likely that some amongst those have changed their opinion, now that more information about how (and how not) the process would (or will not) take place.

> Look, we're going into this together.

I, as a non-UK European, agree on that. UK should have a second referendum, for its shake as well as Europe's.

I kept trying different ways to psyche myself into losing weight and being fit. Some worked for a while, and then I had to switch. The most effective was starting body weight workouts, the first time I had ever tried weight training. I didn't try to improve my diet, but the observation of its impact on performance lead me to go meat-heavy, instead of fluffy pizza/burrito food. I can pig out to the max as long as it's on Five Guys, not Chipotle (two side by side options in my neighborhood). That probably improved my mentality over food overall, and I've taken to often choosing "the second option" over what I want: Diet Coke over Coke, peanuts over fries, no queso over queso, one slice of pizza over two. But this wasn't a top-down decision. Edit: Also, workouts changed the mentality from "don't be a fatlard" to "be 99th percentile in fitness" which is perfectly attainable, and positively motivating.

Symfony 4 is much more lightweight than previous versions. If you create a new symfony 4 project with composer you just get an empty project with just a hand full of dependencies. First time I tried out the v4 (coming from 2.x & 3.x) I thought that the installation did not work properly because stuff like twig (for templating) and other things were missing.

The whole integration in composer with the symfony flex component makes developing even easier than before: https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup/flex.html

I think you’re mixing remarks with his stated policies. Policies they published during the campaign. Remarks are comments. That said, for politicians there is a certain fluidity in meaning. “I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it.”
I get the sense that his response is more about principle and not getting pushed around by some sleazeball hack posing as a journalist than it is about avoiding personal embarrassment. Bezos is secure in his professional life. Whether or not more pictures come out have little bearing on the outcome of his divorce. The biggest concern here is the reaction of his family and friends. The ones closest to him would probably know about the extortion attempt anyway. This is a guy who is worth $140B. That’s not normal and has likely made relationships difficult for many years. The people he truly cares about, the ones who are close, have already gotten past the thing that makes him completely different from everyone else in the world. Why would they care about something like sexting and nude pics that make him the same as most people in the world? They don’t care. As for everyone else not close to him, I’m sure he learned long ago how to tune out the noise.
Sure, all news is fake "to some extent," but giving up entirely is like running Windows XP in production because all software has security vulnerabilities to some extent.

There's an important difference between people who are genuinely pursuing the truth and those who are genuinely pursuing deception. There's an important difference between a well-intentioned developer who writes a buffer overflow and one who adds a backdoor.

And fake news itself has an agenda: to convince people that there is no such thing as truth, that nothing that the elites say can ever resemble truth, and that caring about what the elites do is futile because the truth is unknowable. Your approach effectively endorses that agenda above others.
That's the thing.. I'm already paying for two music streaming services that I use far more often than Spotify. And my wording isn't clear, but I don't listen to it 'a few hours per day every day.' It's more like 'a few hours when I do listen to music at work, which I don't usually do.' I'd guess that it's less than 10 hours per month that I'm listening to Spotify.

Fear can be normal. Assuming you already know how to break a problem down into its smallest/most manageable steps (trying things like working backward from the end goal, using what you already know/learned previously, etc.), if the fear is overwhelming and getting in the way of getting started, then dealing with the fear might be a first step.

Write them out. What are you afraid of? "I can't learn this." "This time I will be proven to be an impostor", "Everyone will think I'm stupid". "I'll be ridiculed." Sometimes just doing that helps.

There's a lot of critical thinking that fears don't hold up to. "Have I learned anything hard or new before?" "Was I ever ridiculed for being a novice at something?" "Will _everyone_ really think I'm stupid?" etc. Sometimes just analyzing the things your fear-based reactions are telling you is enough to dispel them, or at least make them less paralyzing.

Ask yourself "what if I knew everything would turn out fine here, and that I'll be a success. How would I act in that case?"

Stuff like that. Sometimes the technical problems are easier than the psychological ones.
Jesus man. Novo has invented and produced more insulin in the last 30 years than any other company or organization. I get that you're disgruntled about the price of insulin; I am, too. But put the blame where it belongs, not on the people who are producing more and more insulin to accommodate more and more diabetic lifestyles and helping to drive the price down rather than up.
Yes. This. Compress and EQ everything, if you're trying to get a lot of listeners. You'll have to sacrifice dynamic range for it, but sometimes you have to make a trade-off.

Link up with a producer if you don't know how to do it yourself, if you want a fighting chance.

Long time premium spotify user, but it seems they are more interested in their ad-tech than anything else. They introduce 0 new features or improvements and in fact actually remove things over time. It's amazing to see a product continue to get worse.

Before you could send your friends a message within Spotify to send a song for them to listen while in the application and could even carry on a discussion. It was slick. It was amazing and worked very well. They totally gutted it and made no indication of bringing it back. Now we're stuck with this ridiculous arcane method of sending a link through a text message that now opens up in a browser (sometimes?) instead of the application itself.

Too much work to maintain this beloved feature, better fire all the engineers working on it and hire people to prevent ad-blocking for the non-paying customers.

Curious both as to why you moved them off and to what?
Grab a successful project already done by someone else, put it in your repository, back it up, and start changing things, one at a time. You'll start to see how little things work, maybe understand why the original author made choices, and surprisingly, find better or more interesting ways to do the same thing. (I'm always looking for ways to do the same thing with "less". I usually find them.)

Keep restoring the original and repeat. Then start adding new functionality. Experiment. Break it. Play "what if". You can always restore and start over.

Before you know it, the mystery starts to fade and for some people, the fear does too.
It means you have to start over if it gets cleared. That adds latency spikes to processes that use it, which have to be planned for.

Everything around security is hard. It gets easier if you don't care whether it really is secure, which is common.
> The people who want to leave the EU and not necessarily the same people pushing for this.

I think that you are right. But, why is not these kinds of topics part of the political discourse?

It is elected officials the ones pushing for helping Saudis without first asking them to change their methods. Why is not the same people that do not want to be in the European Union because they are afraid of immigrants being more critical to this real threat to their country?

So, citizens have removed "I am worried about inequality" and "I am worried about terrorism" that will make Saudis intervention part of the concerning trends from their thoughts. And they think just about "I am worried about immigration". Without realizing that ending immigration was never a goal. That racism and xenophobia were packaged for them as an easy solution that problems that nobody talks about.

In engineering is important to state the problem to solve before discussing the solutions. Citizens of the UK talk about solutions, that are not real ones, without realizing that they miss the problem.

Although I appreciate the $25/vial insulin sold at walmart, its unfortunate that its such an old-school version that that it makes it almost dangerous to try and manage diabetes with it *obviously better than nothing though.

I know, before insurance, it costs around $240 a vial, and I know personally I go through roughly 3 vials a month. I would guess I use a lot less insulin than a lot of others too.

So I know the manufacturer isn't the only one to blame, and maybe its unfair to completely blame them, but as much as the manufacturers are donating to politicians I cant imagine they are doing a lot to fight it either.
Exactly. Brexit was decided by a popular vote, not a few political elite.
Ah, then maybe to clarify further: This rule applies to virtually every word. A table is "der Tisch" (male), a small table is "das Tischchen" (neutral); a tree is "der Baum" (male), a small tree is "das Bäumchen" (neutral); a break is "die Pause" (female), a small break "das Päuschen" (neutral), etc. In theory you can take every word and diminish it by appending "-chen".

You could still argue, that the "-chen"-rule should be overwritten by an "obvious-grammatical-gender"-rule.
Yes I did both. The classic zero rating started with T-mobile in the US and no matter what the “F’ing article” said, that in fact didn’t happen with T-mobile. T-mobile is in fact the cheapest of the big four carriers in the US and they have unlimited data. The data cost has gone down over the years.

Two ideas:

1. Keep reducing the goal until it's no longer scary. Instead of "learning X", maybe try "reading about X" or "try X for 10 min". Keep taking more off your plate until you feel that "I can do this" feeling.

2. When a fear pops up, respond to yourself with "I know". For example: "I might waste my time and never get good at X" -> "I know". If you repeat that process some contend that by giving your monkey brain (or flight response) attention and respect it starts to diminish. It just wants you to know how risky it thinks this activity is and can keep repeating or getting louder until you acknowledge that it's been heard.

I wonder if there's a way to programmatically re-generate the one-time-use codes. It might be a fun project to set something up that emails a one-time-use code to my work email and then regenerates one.
Of course. I actually regard this as a fairly major issue with the Linux permissions model. Far too many people do as the GP and accidentally set all the files to executable. Cleaning up after someone has done this on a nested set of subdirectories is quite tedious.

NB if anyone has ever run:
chmod -R u+x . or equivalent
and you run
chmod -R u=rwX the files will stay executable...

You can always use find to set all files to +x and directories to -x but then what if some of files needed to be executable?

As a neurotic, I conquer fear through excessive preparation. I honestly don't know what to do about a fear of preparation, though. If I find myself intimidated by learning something, I look for a prerequisite to that something that isn't intimidating, and start there.

Perhaps it depends on what you mean by "integrated". Consciousness must serve a functional, adaptive purpose, and if your integration does not perform the same function, then it wouldn't be conscious as we understand it.
Dear JavaScript, “this” isn't working
Except that that's also a caricature that hasn't been true in a while.

Germany is one of several large powers in the EU, but small countries have considerable influence, and can and do block decisions/legislation all the time. That's why there is a push to end the national vetos on various issues.

Seriously, the idea that the EU, where the smallest country has a veto over virtually everything, and where Germany is the largest of several large democratic powers, and where everything that happens is a compromise negotiated carefully while balancing dozens of competing interests, is in _any_ way related to "what Germany wanted in WWII" is deeply offensive.

And yet I've encountered it again and again, online and in person. This type of idiotic idea, unbound by the reality of what the EU is and does, and enabled and encouraged by opportunistic press and politicians, is exactly what brought us Brexit.
>> that pose money-laundering and terrorism financing threats

> So, Uk is fine with a country that finances terrorism in the UK itself as long as the elite gets a good chunk of money. At the same time, the UK wants to leave the European Union because immigration is "bad".

UK is itself no stranger for that. London hosts god knows how much laundered money from badlands of the world.

It hosts Altaf Hussain, and god know how many other ex and acting warlords from Africa and Middle East, shielded by UK spy establishments.
> Free movement is not without consequence, address it honestly, attempt to solve real issues and maybe people come around.

The problem is that unrestricted movement disrupts culture and lowers a lot of social statistics all at once - in a way that can be really disruptive to the host culture.

Similarly, no matter how you explain it, the deal in practice is "We'll take a lot of money from the middle class and give it to the globally impoverished."

Understandably, the people who are just being taken from don't seem to like that deal very much; and cultures which are rapidly disrupted by low-class migrants don't seem to do well.

Never mind that "free movement" is usually just political cover for people looking to import more workers after their leadership and the society they built is so toxic, it's killing the indigenous population. Naturally, the people being fed into the meat grinder and replaced aren't particularly fond of paying for their replacements to be imported.

Talking about "free movement" in that context has about the same tone as "right sizing" your business, while off-shoring.
