It's striking even at this late a date to find the AEI proposal with mods crafted (or with pay offs as it was billed at the time) to appeal to the far right of the Democratic party rated as being practically at the edge of the far left.
> left wing propaganda rag

I guess we are reading different Guardian's. If I go to the Guardian web site and search for "corbyn", the leader of the Labour party, #1, #2 and #4 are articles implying, or saying, that he is anti-semitic. The Guardian has been bashing Corbyn and the Labour party for years. If the Guardian is "left wing", what is Corbyn and Labour?

Also the left - George Galloway, Dennis Skinner etc., is pro-Brexit and has been for years. Corbyn is probably privately pro-Brexit, but has to stay in the middle of the debate so that the Tom Watson wing of the party doesn't bolt. The Guardian is firmly anti-Brexit other than one-off op-eds once in a while.

Has wired aka Paris Martineau a biased writer? Has wired gone to shit now?

This is a 100% miss mischaracterization of these people. MSM is the ones that spreads misinformation, lies and decent everyday but they still have accounts on social media platforms.

If the show is true to the books, it's fiction in the sense that individual characters and minor events are made up, but the historical setting and major events are close to accurate. After all, you can't realistically make it completely historically accurate down to the names of minor characters, simply because they weren't documented (or the documents didn't survive).
As far as I know - it depends on how the optimizer/planner works as well (at least in SQL Server.)

If you have a known fixed width you can be certain about your memory grants required for a specific query (width * rows estimate) - if you don't know that ahead of time you might find you need to allocate more memory than is actually required.

This can be really bad for concurrency.
They are also called "altares de muertos" in Spanish, and are generally called altars in English. And yes, I think "worship" is not a bad way to describe how people often treat celebrities, Jobs included. We call it "cult of personality" for a reason, after all.
I think your conclusion comes a bit too quickly. Sure, open-source is about passion for everyone who doesn't do it as a day job and earning money can kill that passion. But so can other factors (e.g. communities that demand but don't contribute) and still, we see a lot of OSS projects out there.

In my opinion, an important factor here is that you earn that money for whatever OSS project you are working on. That reduces the pressure to work on that single project you would get paid to work on.

And if you are completely against the compensation, you could still not tell your company about what you are doing after 5 pm ;-)

I think it is a great opportunity for employees.
Oddly, no mention of "using MySql". ;-)
You've mentioned rights accorded to citizens, but not to noncitizens, twice now. I can't see the relevance. Which relevant right is guaranteed to citizens, but not to noncitizens in U.S. jurisdiction?

Detainment is not the only answer if you want these cases to be processed. I cite as evidence the fact that there was a backlog of these cases to be processed when the zero-tolerance policy was implemented. If cases were not being processed, there would be no backlog.

Homeless people sometimes going to prison is not relevant to whether or not every illegal immigrant should go to prison.

One doubts that they knew, either, that it could add enough trim that the pilot would not be strong enough to fly the plane. That was one of the bedrock rules of flight automation.

All this happened because mgmt were trying to dodge oversight put in specifically to prevent problems like this.
I'm not sure i completely agree with that, maybe you're right. Isn't bad design is at least partly linked to the fact that these are personal (non-utility) cars, which are for a large part used in (sub)urban areas, ie usage influences the design and reciprocally. It seems to me utility cars (and other "professional vehicles") are among the less prone to this interface bloat. Actually to support your point i recently saw how this exact problem was a big issue for tractors, farmers being locked in with broken (electronic) stuff they're not allowed to/can't repair themselves.
It's set at 30 hours a month. This is not for budget reasons, only to discourage excess working off-hours. This adds up to about a workday per week, which is what we feel is reasonable.
It depended on the company. MS interviewers came in khaki slacks and buttoned down shirts. Google came in jeans with lots of ink and piercings on display.

Part of my friend's responsibility was to give feedback to the interviewers. Her students were passing over MS to go to Google, despite MS offering significantly more for a salary. Their interviewers asked her for feedback to figure out why. She had to politely say that Google was seen as cooler. (The cooler impression wasn't just the image gained from the interviewers, it was the problems Google was trying to solve. But, the interviewers added to the company's image of "coolness".)

She held this position probably a decade ago and left after a few years. Things may be different now.
As an active Open Source contributor I'd like to say that apart from passion being involved it also is a big responsibility depending on the project either way and being paid for it affirms my passion and beliefs.

The normalisation would work towards allowing the drug companies to be comfortable with a rent-seeking scenario, where they have a huge population that has little choice but to use their services, at whatever cost.

And of course, that might mean an actual cure is detrimental to the bottom line, which might impact funding for any of these studies.
Aren't the second and fourth just terms they themselves used to describe themselves/ their goals?
open source maintainer here - I disagree that you get those "responsibility and emotions" only when you attach money.

You already get plenty of those by the sheer fact that you care about the craft you contribute to.

> Nobody would have ever imagined it to work without "money", but it does and it will continue to work.

I'm sorry to break it for you, but it doesn't actually work.

And constant articles and talks from OSS maintainers about burnout is one of the proofs.

If you want to read more, there is a great book on this subject which I feel will help you get a more informed opinion on it: https://www.fordfoundation.org/about/library/reports-and-stu...

Initiatives like this are important to "show by example" - currently there are too many Open Source consumers and not enough contributors.

And also, work IS work - and it should be retributed.
That's another issue. It used to be that even the most basic car (like the cheap Geo Metro) still had a pretty decent user interface. Now it's: "well, if you don't like the crap at the low end, have you tried the latest $75K luxury sedan?"

The thing with an abstraction later is that it has to accommodate for the simplest component.

In this case (the no need to specify the len on your varchars) is an implementation detail of Postgres, but the ORM still has to deal with weaker components.

Also for those interested, there’s no difference between varchar and text in Postgres, I just use text fields now, since all length checking is done at the application level, and Postgres is the only DB I need to support
> The problem with politics today isn't that people are single-issue voters...

The problem is the people have no representation, what people want does not impact the likelihood of passage of a law.[1]

People on the left in right have a lot more in common with each other than everyone likes to make out. But even where they agree still nothing happens. I think this “polarization” line is a convenient distraction from this reality.

Dark matter is a hypothesis, and one that makes pretty strong predictions, several of which have come true, so it's not inappropriate to call it theory.

The phenomenon of galaxies demonstrating significanty more mass than their sum of normal matter is the observation that is explained by dark matter.

Bob can convince Alice to spend half her tokens on proposition B but then betray her and spend all his tokens on B, resulting in 17 votes for B and only 7 for A.

When voting is anonymous there is no way to detect if voters keep their pledge or not, so this should deter them from voting in any other way than in their own interest.
The sky isn't falling, and technological advancement still represents a key element of improving the human condition. The actions of a few bad actors, as dismaying as they are, don't indicate that everyone in tech has malicious intentions or anything.

We should strive to do better than systems of governance that involve an implicit (or explicit) threat of violence in order to coerce people into behaving the way we want. And we have no moral standing to use violence in that way to begin with.

> You decide the browser and extensions you are using, and your computer is actually making the connection to the others websites.. !

Consent requires intent. Just because my browser happened to connect to some website, does not mean I give consent to have my accesses recorded and used for other purposes.

You may say it's legitimate to log and track without consent, but you can't invent my consent.

And the fact that it's often considered legitimate to log and track without consent is what enables most surveillance capitalism (though some consensual business models exist as well).

> When you send a regular snail mail you don't control either the postal box used -- a company could be scanning the document.

And that would be part of surveillance capitalism as well.

> The issues lies in the fact that the streets are public and not private places

Maybe so; analyzing such questions is part of the studies on surveillance capitalism.
I've written a post about timestamp vs timestamptz and the only valid reason for timestamp I could come up with is exactly this, scheduling events in the future: https://phili.pe/posts/timestamps-and-time-zones-in-postgres...
It's a romanticized version of several events that actually took place featuring e.g. King Alfred and other historical characters. While there are some written records from that era, there's not much to go on. It was called the dark middle ages for a reason.

So, the script writers probably took quite a bit of liberties as did the author of the books this series is based on: http://www.bernardcornwell.net/series/the-last-kingdom-serie....

I haven't actually read the books; so I can't vouch for those. But if you are interested, I can recommend Hild by Nicola Grifith which is a good read about roughly the same era.

When you say "things got hard", what exactly do you mean? I've encountered many different difficult aspects in tech as a mostly self-taught engineer. Here are a few of the different things that were difficult for me:

- Self teaching got hard: I always reminded myself that the alternative was staying in the same place, which was much less than ideal. My day job was enough to motivate me to get out of there, and tech represented a way to move up. Usually taking a short break or walk (diffuse mode) would also do the trick.

- Finding a job got hard: luckily this was hard from the beginning, so I was able to have a lot of practice from the start. I got so many rejections that I got acclimated to it. Once I had my first real professional development experience, things got easier.

- Impostor syndrome made life hard: post-first-dev-job, I was worried about my lack of CS foundation and ability to move forward in career. I ended up taking some classes at a local college, which was absolutely fantastic. I also ended up later getting a job at a large tech company, which has been both good and bad for my impostor-ly feelings.

- Programming problems got hard: compared to the other ones, this was the easiest. I usually took a break from the computer to draw out the problem, rubber duck debug, take a break/walk (again, diffuse mode), or ask someone for help. When the programming problems were when I was self teaching, I'd go the discussion boards and ask questions. At any job, I'd talk about and work through the problem with a coworker.
What kind of crap? Is it like B&N where half the products are toys, trinkets, and random Harry Potter memorabilia?
Maybe, but spammers are also more likely to be sending from rented botnets that can handle the increase in CPU usage spread over a large number of other people's computers.
I've written about this topic before. Maybe it convinces you that you should (almost) always use timestamptz.

https://phili.pe/posts/timestamps-and-time-zones-in-postgres...
There are other advantages of setting (large) limits that are appropriate to your data model, at least if you take data from untrusted users. You'd be surprised by the kinds of things users will put into truly unlimited fields... But yeah, there's no reason to try to figure out whether 32 characters or 64 characters would be better. But a title field probably never needs to be bigger than a couple thousand characters, for instance.
Some flip sides:

> The user no longer need to update his software, you can deploy breaking changes (or security fixs) in seconds (as opposed to weeks, waiting that all users download the new release).

The user can also no longer choose when to update the software, and you can deploy breaking changes in seconds. Meanwhile, on my computer, I can choose which software to update and when I want to do it, and I'll do so as to not impact my work flow when I don't have the time to adapt to the latest and greatest.

> Security: the user no longer need to download random software from the internet, and a random malware on his computer will have hard time to access his online data.

On the other hand, malicious parties interested in many users' data now have less work ahead of them. Some shitty engineering at LinkedIn and suddenly millions of users have their data leaked.

It is true that centralizing the data means that a team of experts can manage the security as opposed to an amateur like me, but it's been proven again and again that it's unreasonable to expect data that you share with a centralized third party to be secure and private.

At least in the space shuttle cases, the people overriding the concerns were themselves engineers. The idea that managers, not engineers, cause failures is simplistic.

Salon.com uncritically regurgitating someone else's ridiculous article for clicks may be the greatest indictment of 21st-century capitalism.

From the original article: "So Boeing produced a dynamically unstable airframe, the 737 Max."

No, it was not dynamically unstable. It just had sufficiently different performance compared with the original that it would require a new type rating without the MCAS system.

And since you all demand low ticket prices to make you feel like you are not being exploited by stagnant low wages and unpaid internships and whatnot, market forces required the airlines and Boeing to find a solution that would not require excessive retraining.

But I guess that's what you might think if you're a GA pilot whose greatest source of relevant experience is that you once flew a 757 full-motion simulator.

By all means, keep jetting around the world belching out greenhouse gasses and demanding that Boeing comply with the deflationary forces that you have come to accept as your birthright. I'm sure a quick technical fix will ensure that an incompetent pilot never has to hand-fly an aircraft ever again. Good plan.

Not always. The devices at the ISPs are basically a local cache. They don’t have devices at every ISP and all of their content isn’t on every device.

But that’s really neither here nor there. I doubt very seriously that even if Amazon (AWS not the retail side) was snooping on customer data - which I believe they would be fool to do so - they couldn’t inspect the video stream to know what was playing where.
