As much as I tend to hate on China for its extreme policies of government censorship and social control, it's somewhat disingenuous to tar them for lobbying (even ~threatening) other UN diplomats.

I mean, doesn't ~everyone do it? Having been interested in the Palestinian issue, and the build-up to the invasion of Iraq, it's pretty clear that Israel and the US have done just what China is doing. And no, this isn't whataboutism. I'm calling bullshit on the US etc for "pot calling the kettle black" bullshit.

Also, although I'm not a huge fan of cultural relativism, it is true that Chinese culture is very old, and very different from European culture. Including the US and other former colonies, obviously. But maybe not so much from India and other former colonies in Southeast Asia.

But anyway, given that, what's the argument that we're "right" and they're "wrong"? Because God said so? But which God, then?
I'd encourage you to find a local source. Truly an insignificant cost difference. You can see how the sausage is made and make your peace with it. The more bold could even get a couple chickens 3-4 would have a small family drowning in eggs. Maybe it's not the same everywhere but there are tons of people with chickens in the Midwest.
Eh, why not? Seems like a chicken-and-egg thing. If there's no Rust support for some platform, fewer people will want to write things in it because they won't be able to run them where they want. But the less Rust software there is, the less interest anyone would have in writing build tools for less popular platforms.

Break out of these patterns by writing useful software in it that people would like to have on less popular platforms, so more people feel motivated to build and maintain build tools for it.

Also from Wikipedia, the sentence right before the one you quoted:

> While the word régime originates as a synonym for any type of government, modern usage has given it a negative connotation, implying an authoritarian government or dictatorship.

And that's by far the most common context for using the term. Barely anybody uses "regime" as a neutral term, it's usually used to denounce a government/administration as "bad/illegitimate/not democratic". For the same reason "regime change" is called like that to give it a semblance of being a legitimate course of action to "build democracy", while a forced "government change" suddenly doesn't sound all that nice anymore.

I despise the "legal risk/threat" aspects of this process, which is most likely the reason nobody can actually tell you something useful. In many large companies you can't even provide critical feedback to your own employees, and if you end up letting them go as a result, you are unable to tell them what really went wrong.

I understand an aversion to legal risk, but IMHO this is going to an extreme that hurts all of us.

>I think Lisp’s “the source is the documentation” (with comments and doc strings) is a huge boon.

True.

At first i thought "Damn, there is little documentation on those Lisp libraries", but as the months passed, I understood that often code was very readable, and the fact that documentation strings are integral to the language is also a good thing.
I agree with you, but that’s only part of the story.

There are two ways to make more money in software development. Either take on more responsibility and be a force multiplier or gain skills/experience where the demand outstrips the supply.

During the first part of your career. Gaining experience to make more money without taking more responsibility is pretty easy. After that, you really do have to take on more responsibility or go into consultancy.

While I agree, I don't think this is particularly new. I've been married 20 years now, so the last time I approached a girl was in the 1900's - and I still recall the look of utter disgust and contempt that I would get from at least 80% of the women I tried to approach (mind you, I'm talking about going out to bars and clubs where there's sort of an expectation of meeting or at least talking to strangers). I was hardly alone, either. Being rejected - cruelly and viciously - is part and parcel of the male dating experience; I just think that young men have gotten tired of it.

I have been leaning on Django a lot in the past couple of years. A couple of highpoints

Everyone talks about the admin. Yes it is nice, but the real core for me is a sensible way to map URLS to queries. I have taken the filtering and sorting of the admin, and extended it to output dataframes. From there I can take the same admin url, change one part and instead get a csv to download, or a matplotlib plot.

The Django ORM is cumbersome to use for complex queries, especially aggregations. I get around this by writing views that I want to express the aggregations that I want, then putting a model on top of the view. From there I can get easy access to the aggregations through a simple foreign key.

When using Django, I often think "there's a lot of convention around doing this simple thing" or "why did they engineer something this odd way". Then I use Flask and I have to poorly reinvent something that Django has already thought of.
Except there is only milk because there was a calf at some point, which was taken away from its mother and sold for veal if it was a male calf or turned into another milk machine if it was female.

Milk cows are forcibly impregnated year after year to keep their milk flowing. All this shortens their lifespan to 4 years instead of their natural 20.

Milk is a product of cruelty.

SEEKING WORK | Full Stack Python Developer with 10+ years of experience. | Remote and available to Travel

- Technologies: Django, aiohttp, Python, Docker, Ansible, JavaScript, ES6/7, MongoDB, React, Vue, PostgreSQL, AWS

- Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariocesar/

- Email met at: mariocesar @ humanzilla.com

I have been working remotely most of my work history, mostly for startups and related to web based projects. 6/10 projects I have been a solo-developer, building from ground doing sysadmin to backend and frontend work, most recent work have been related to build ERP/CRM like apps within large teams.

You can get an idea of my coding skills, by looking at my Github profile https://github.com/mariocesar, I often post code snippets in https://gist.github.com/mariocesar

# What is my stronger skill?

Django and python based projects. I have been working with Django so many years that I know how to manage myself quickly to start and complete a project quickly.

# What are the most recent skills that I'm excited right now?

aiohttp. I have been working doing "real-time" apps with node.js and switching to aiohttp was a production high jump getting back to python to build these apps with aiohttp. I also have enjoyed learning Vue to make large applications, I still enjoy React however, the internals of Vue really clicks with me.

# Somethings that made me happy recently?

It is source control. Just bad source control.

I think "vegetable fats" is too broad a term here. I have been a vegetarian for 32 years, and my brain also works just fine, but there are certainly some vegetable sources that are not great for you. The vegetable oils that get used in lots of processed foods, that are not part of any traditional diet, are especially suspect.

> I did notice a lot of questions recently about my living situation.

Don't sweat it. We are not all Zuckerbergs. You don't have to get your own place in anticipation of finding someone. As you mentioned, its the woman without a place that is very concern. Even though, I live on my own & have my own car. While dating, I initially say that I live with my parents & don't have a ride. More than 10 matches, unmatched me. I am not a chauffeur or bed & b'fast place.
> Honestly, is there any example ever where economic sanctions have forced a government to become less authoritarian?

Arguably the Eastern Bloc and Soviet Union. If they had been integrated into the Western economic system on favorable terms [1], material conditions there may not have been as bad and may not have fell in the late 80s/early 90s.

[1] Such as being allowed to buy things on credit or buy advanced technology. IIRC, the Soviets were only allowed to trade with hard currency, and they were forbidden from buying most of the things they actually wanted.
If the statistics in the article are correct, supplements might work but are not being utilized.
I think metrics can be very useful but as with many things, you need to know how to interpret the data.

I'm in the restaurant industry, so my #1 metric is profit (over the long run anyhow). Now, the next metric is sales, since profit is a % of sales. So to get those sales, we're looking at how many new guests are coming through the door, repeat guests, average guest check, etc... After that, it's margins. Sales mixes play into that (relating to COGS), and labour. Now, to determine what we're getting out of our labour, more metrics. How much each server is selling, what products they're selling, how many guests they can serve in a night, etc... For cooks, it's about productivity and consistency.

Anyhow, there's a lot of shit restaurants and workers out there (due to low barrier of entry education-wise), lots of people misinterpret the data, leaving to a feedback loop of shit managers and employees. Often restaurants will focus too much on one of those metrics, leading to places that just gauge guests, or others that entertain guests who are fishing for free shit.

Now, as for metrics in the programming world which probably don't matter, I always hear about lines of code written. Obviously it's easy to game and hard to discern, as code can be too terse or too verbose. Programmers are also usually so far removed from the sales part of the business that there's no objective sales metric to use either. And that's where you need good managers. I'm sure there's a good set of metrics that give some idea of performance, but they need to be interpreted by someone.

And all of this reminds me of stats/economics (what I did in university), where you're bombarded with data and need to interpret it. Like GDP per capita can indicate general well being, but then you adjust it to PPP to get a better metric of quality of life, and add inequality calculations to understand how it affects different segments of the population, and you can go even deeper with specific stats underlining quality of life (amount of disposable income, amount spent on housing, amount spent on entertainment, etc...).

Anyhow, tldr here is that metrics matter, but interpreting them is a skill and makes all the difference.
I agree it sounds more like an opinion rather than based on a proper scientific study. Since ALA is a precursor for DHA even if only creating limited amounts; consume enough of it then you'll make more than enough DHA. From this pubmed study I can see flaxseed/walnut oil is going to provide enough ALA for this purpose https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2989356/.
Then you're letting yourself be hurt by your political views.

The Django developers try to include the absolutely widest range of people they can. But if that makes people decide to exclude themselves, that's not Django's problem IMO.
Eating meat isn't unhealthy. The studies quoted often are correlation studies where they don't take into account people who eat red meat probably don't do a lot of things they are told to do and so statistically die more, but it's not from red meat.

Animal welfare is a big one, and only by highlighting the problem and use sustainable farming practices will it work. Note that large scale vegetable farming practices are also bad for the environment, due to mono culture, soil degradation etc. So the best way is to farm both in a symbiotic relationship.

> If I understand you correctly, you are advocating for anti-privacy by _forcing_ advertisers into "transparency"?

That's absolutely correct. If you donate more than a certain sum to campaign, you should be forced to be transparent about it.

> That sounds dangerous. How would you feel if we put some campaign spending controls on campaigns you _agree_ with and promote?

I live in a country where all political parties are bound by exactly such rules. Moreover TV advertising by political parties are is explicity banned. Instead parties are allocated short 'Party political broadcast' slots on the main channels.

It doesn't feel particularly "dangerous".

My point is that generalizing Indian vegetarianism as being void of animal fat isn't right. Wiki has this to say about it (without source mind you):

In India, vegetarianism is usually synonymous with lacto vegetarianism
Ryanair Is First Airline to Become a Top-10 Polluter in Europe
Vegetarian != Vegan
As a (sometimes inconsistent) vegetarian who doesn't actively eat eggs (haven't bought them in a year), I'd actually argue that eggs (and diary) are actually less ethical than meat, with (pastured) beef and lamb being the most ethical.

It seems less cruel for an animal to spend its life standing in a field than for it to be stuck laying eggs its whole life or being milked twice a day for as long as its useful, only to be led to the slaughterhouse. In fact, commercial chickens are the most cruel industry, chickens are so cheap they are treated like a bulk good, rather than like a living animal. Even free range chickens live a shit life.

We talk about treating our servers like cattle, rather than pets. But cattle are actually treated very well, there's a lot of value in a single beast and it's worth looking after them when they're sick. Chickens are so cheap (they cost, what, $7 at the supermarket?) that if they're sick or injured, it's cheaper just to turn them into fertiliser.

Of course, that's just the commercial industry. Home raised laying hens tend to live a comfortable life.

Politics of Plant Patentability at the European Patent Office
Given how many close calls we have had, and given how there's thousands of nuclear weapons, pointed at eachother, on hairtrigger alert, and given that a number of countries allow themselves to use nuclear weapons in a first-strike scenario, I strongly feel that the possibility of a nuclear war in any given year is ~1-2%.

1. The US and Russia are currently doing their best to antagonize eachother.

2. The US is currently doing its best to extract itself from the tyrrany of MAD (By building ICBM defenses.) [1] If MAD breaks down, the whole house of cards that justifies the existence of nuclear weapons as a guarantor of peace collapses.

3. The Russians have an automated retaliatory-strike system - should they be attacked, it will end the world. Hopefully, there aren't any bugs with it. (But knowing how software projects go, of course there are bugs with it.) [2]

4. The decision to launch, once made by either country's leadership, cannot be second-guessed by saner subordinates.
