Surely because the thread is about people wondering, 'why are monasteries declining?'

On "7) Always factor in labor savings, especially devops":

DevOps is not a synonym for "ops" or "sysadmin". It's not a position. DevOps is like Agile or Lean: it's a general method with lots of different pieces you use to improve the process of developing and supporting products among the different members of multiple teams. DevOps helps you save money, not the reverse.

You don't even need an "ops person" to do DevOps.

My (early career, not notable - hang on why am I doing this to myself :)) CV is hosted on GitHub, FWIW I have had a few people contact me as a result.

I've always reflected on the idea of deleting my social media accounts, especially after studying media in University. The more I learn about social media, and other forms of media the more aware I am with regards to what I post and share online. At the same time, I have friends all across the globe and use social media to stay in contact with my friends. I have a question though, would you consider Whatsapp to be social media? Especially because users can share stories on the platform.
Podcasts feel like they are at an inflection point. Ad tech people are either going to wreck podcasting or there will be a podcasting bubble pop and the ad tech will go find some other field to destroy.
One can hardly call .NET Core "a library." It's an API surface area (.NET Standard), a cross-platform implementation of said surface area (.NET Core), a cross-platform runtime (CoreCLR), and a CLI tool (dotnet). It's already introduced numerous performance enhancements over .NET Framework (e.g., Span<T>, Memory<T>, and the runtime itself).

IMO, .NET Framework should be relegated to the dustbin of history. There is no longer a reason to use it unless you are writing legacy code (which, granted, is a legitimate reason in many cases). For greenfield projects, I hope you're using .NET Standard and .NET Core.

It keeps being mentioned that podcasters will be hurt by this, but I'm not sure how that is so?

Are the advertisers going to know that someone didn't hear their ad? Are the podcasters not going to get paid for still playing the ads? Are the people who are in love with listening to ads, still not going to get to listen to their ads? Why is this not a win all the way around?

I have a vague sense that climate change deniers/skeptics or those that simply get angry at climate change activism have either consciously or unconsciously grokked one of the fundamentals of the problem - action on climate change is at odds with modern capitalism.

We (the current population and effectively the richest 10%) have to be willing to give up our personal riches and 'freedom' comforts for the sake of others. Others who are now facing the effects of a changing climate and others who will be facing it in the future.

any sufficiently complicated software can reach a state where problems arise. you just need to push it far enough.

e.g. i have the swift compiler giving up every few weeks because i feed it code that crashes its internal constrain-solver. good thing is, submitting such code samples i can contribute to its improvement. i believe everyone has a tale of some software exhibiting strange behaviour, ive seen it all: adobe products crashing when you exit them, broken text rendering in firefox until a restart, hell, i even had the windows' LogonUI.exe hang on me.

the point is: consider a software to be a state machine. since we stopped formally verifying correctness of our programs, it is in the realm of possible for each program to reach a state where its behaviour is undesired and there is no easy path to move it to a more stable state.

If you have an existing desktop unused or something you can run it on any Linux. I personally run the PiHole on a Debian VM on my FreeNAS server (that is already running).
I tried to use tmux as a terminal multiplexer on sway just so I could make it remember a setup of terminals for specific projects. That way I could simply do `tmux-command start project-name` and have it automatically open a setup of windows and panes. Though I found it unfortunate that I had to learn new shortcuts that are different for shortcuts elsewhere. A simple example but which was a deal breaker was in order to work with its clipboard system, you had to use different commands. Does someone with more knowledge of tmux know whether it's possible to get rid of the prefix command somehow? I know about the i3 version of tmuxinator, but it doesn't support sway unfortunately. I might make something to automatically open a list of windows on a specific workspace for sway.

Things you need to know about Buttweld Pipe fittings
Butt Weld Pipe Fittings are essential to change their direction and connect to all of the apparatus and devices which are required to be functioned. Divya Darshan Metallica carries a wide choice of butt weld fittings including stainless steel fittings, carbon steel fittings, high yield fittings, and nickel alloy fitting. Buttweld fittings correspond to ASME / ANSI B16.9 standard (Factory-Made Wrought Steel Buttwelding Fittings).

 Here are some of the frequently asked questions clienteles have about Buttweld Fittings;

1. Buttweld fittings are itemized in pipe schedules. When ordering, you must lay down Sch 40, Sch 80, etc. REMEMBER, for 12 inch and bigger nominal pipe sizes, Sch 40 and Sch 80 are NOT the corresponds to Std and XH respectively. Generally, BW fittings are classified as Std or XH. However, 12 inches and bigger, if you are requesting Sch 40, you must specify if you want true 40 or just requesting std wall.
2. Butt Weld Pipe fittings do NOT come in 150#, 300# or 3000# pressure class. Those are the term for malleable iron and forged threaded fittings.
3. Most communal material for carbon steel butt weld pipe fitting is A234 WPB
4. Stainless Steel Buttweld Pipe Fittings comes in 304 and 316 stainless
5. Buttweld pipe Fittings conforms to ANSI B16.9 standard.
6. BW Fittings do NOT come in A105 or A106 material.
7. For bigger pipe fittings, always mention if you need seamless or welded pipe fittings.

Butt Weld Pipe Fitting is an excellent choice to connect of equipment and change direction of flow for bigger pipe sizes. Socket Weld Pipe Fitting and Threaded pipe Fittings are not common. Buttweld Pipe Fittings are also very cheap in bigger sizes, compared to other connection options. These fittings are key to various pipeline ventures. Stainless steel buttweld pipe fittings are used extensively in the food industry and sanitation, however copper alloy Butt welding fittings are more common in petrochemical and process industry.
This is based on the law applicable before the GDPR. That French law dates from 2004 and implements EU law from 1995.
I think this is a terrible verdict. The British courts are interfering with the functioning of parliament. This would never happen in America, because it would trample on the very notion of the three separate branches.
Many of the highest paid industries (professional athletes, entertainment) are unionized, so I fail to see what’s special about Google/tech. All this talk about “culture” is just intended to prevent workers from joining together and having an actual say in the companies for which they make so much money.
The "total object” and “partial object” distinction exists in Finnish as well. One famous example is the verb naida, "to marry": nain hänet (total/nominative) means "I married them", but nain häntä (partial/partitive) means I married only a part of them, or in more colloquial terms, "I fucked them".

There is no pragmatism nor politics without emotion. Emotion is why we care to do anything at all in the first place, and is a fundamental part of being human and identifying what's important to us. Irrational emotion, on the other hand, is perhaps what you're implying she is expressing, in which case I disagree. I find her emotions exactly prudent and commensurate.

Our bed. Seriously.

I never paid much attention to my bed and typically bought a less expensive mattress. My last one was a quite firm memory foam mattress that was definitely firm, but I didn't think much about it and just thought I was generally a light sleeper. I also really looked forward to sleeping in hotels for the nicer bedding. I just didn't know better.

When we moved earlier this year we spent some $$$ and bought a new king mattress, mattress pad, pillows and sheets. It's made all the difference. I sleep through the night with less tossing and turning, and I'm less achy and stiff in the morning. It's been a whole new world and I love the new bed.

The only downside is that it's ruined me for hotels now. I'd say 90% of hotels I've stayed in this year don't even come close to our bed at home. Even in the higher end places like the St. Regis or Edition.

Spend the money and buy a nice bed.

I'm not clear why javascript is the Boogeyman but html and css get a pass here. With javascript you can always see the source, and their license cannot obligate you as it's not-even-a-shrinkwrap license.

Html and css can also have licenses, and they are frequently generated by server-side code running what is almost certainly a proprietary license, one that is opaque to the user.

Yeah, they have badly linked documentation from there. Most of their plans are on their wiki, ex: https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Power_Cube_v15.6
. The plans assume you have quite a varied set of equipment at hand already, know welding, etc. Youtube searches also help.
> Basically you only use GC if you declare something using a GC type.

So similar to C# (2000)? A useful feature to be sure, but not a major innovation.

> The standard library uses seqs in various places so if you fully turn the GC off using the compiler switch --gc:none you'll get warnings for things you use that will leak. There's no GC 'runtime' stuff that you need though.

Running with the GC off (and accepting the leaks) was already a standard managed-language technique though.

> Nim's GC is thread-local (so no stop-the-world issues)

Well no wonder it has nice properties if it avoids all of the hard problems! What happens when you pass references between threads?

> only triggered on allocate, and has realtime support via enforcing collection periods.

Your link describes the realtime support as best-effort, and implies that it doesn't work for cycle collection. So honestly this doesn't seem to offer much over e.g. the tuneable GC of the JVM (which admittedly made a massive mistake in choosing defaults that prioritised batch throughput rather than latency).

I do appreciate the information, and hope this isn't coming off as overly confrontational. But honestly it sounds like Nim is overselling things that are mostly within the capabilities of existing managed languages (maybe even behind them if the "GC" is only thread-local and/or not cycle-collecting).
You're just choosing another ISP to give your data to. In the end the VPN server will be somewhere connected to an ISP. I'm doing just that but I'm fully aware that I have to have at least some measure of trust in my own ISP, as opposed to Google, Cloudflare, or any other such entity.
I think practically speaking it means a VPN will be able to bypass it and that's ok.

I guess the examples use the default std libs, and runtimes of the languages. So in this sense your D example is the misrepresentation, by directly calling libc.

Ah but it was justified - by the need for a Queen's Speech, which hadn't happened for a very long time.

What the Supreme Court has said here is that they don't like or believe the justification. But who are they to decide that? There's no law or legal precedent here for a court simply deciding they don't like a justification for a prorogation. Constitutional tradition says it's actually the Queen's decision, which she makes based on advice from the Prime Minister. The very new Supreme Court has nothing to do with it.

At any rate, regardless of (pointless) arguments about a non-existent constitution, the realpolitik of this is that the UK is heading straight for civil war.

Parliament refuses to let the UK leave the EU by its own deadlines, an outcome it had itself voted for.

It refuses to trigger a general election.

The Speaker has given up the traditional role of political neutrality.

Many MPs have not only announced they will fight against the very policies they promised during the last election, but actually quit their parties and joined parties with opposing policies, whilst refusing to trigger a by-election so they can be judged.

One major political party is now openly saying if they get enough power, they will simply cancel Brexit entirely. Labour is not far behind.

At all levels British democracy is in outright collapse. This is not due to actions of Leave supporters or campaigners, but rather due to coordinated efforts by people who are ideologically committed to the EU and who are willing to destroy any institution, tradition or constitutional procedure whatsoever in their efforts to do so.

How can people respect their government when they see politicians so openly doing U-turns on their own position the moment they won an election, when they see those same politicians refusing to allow new votes except for those they've rigged so leaving can never win?

At some point the UK is going to cross into seriously extreme territory. If voting doesn't work to change those in power - and right now it clearly doesn't - then what's left but violence?
This is a nice take, I personally disagree with her particular rhetoric but agree with the objective of making sure they cannot ignore you.

This "crux" misses point 72 of the ruling which states that EU law does not prohibit national law from (a) finding a different balance between privacy and freedom of expression and, thus, from (b) requiring the de-listing of the relevant name-search result on all versions of the search engine (i.e. globally).

This ruling is not the end of the case -- this is the EU law's top court ruling -- the case now goes back to the French court, to decide.

It requires the world to stop buying the cheaper options offered by countries that provide you with goods because they have lower (or no) regulatory bar for pollution, environment, human rights, equality, welfare. It is a real side effect of globalisation and total economic wealth being such an over-valued metric of prosperity.
There is a definition of "democracy" by which the government (and indeed Parliament) is non-democratic. Admittedly, it's a narrow definition, but nevertheless it's one that most developed countries satisfy. That definition is one suggested by Ernest Neville:

"In a democratic government the right of decision belongs to the majority, but the right of representation belongs to all."

The lack of proportional representation deprives UK voters of both majority rule and adequate minority representation. The consequences are usually subtle, but the February 1974 general election gave the most seats to a party without the most votes. The 1951 election gave a majority of seats to a party without the most votes.
They're government funded, aren't they? Doesn't that mean people playing politics with that funding, pressure to appoint connected people, and editorializing stories that might reflect badly on Congressional members of their oversight committee and budget?

Banks are heavily regulated, and Libra would not be just another cryptocurrency. It's reasonable to expect that it would have been (and still might be) considerably more powerful than any one existing bank.
