A common joke on weightlifting and bodybuilding forums when someone asks how to get shredded abs to to tell them to add 'fork-putdowns x F' to their routine. x F is the format used to mean "repeat until failure", and it's funny because it really is the best way to get all of the fat off your midsection so your abs are visible.

Yes, I knew a girl who was raped and her mother would only allow her to talk to their priest rather than medical and/or mental health professionals. People in the thread are talking about how astrology, religion, psychics, etc. are all ok because they don't cause harm but I believe they can and do cause harm in many cases.

Of the people I know that strongly believe in things like astrologists, psychics, or religion a large percentage also believe other absurd conspiracy theories such as vaccines causing autism, the moon landing being fake, etc.

I think we set a dangerous precedent by allowing people to blindly buy into things like astrology, without calling them out. I of course don't believe these kinds of things should be made illegal/regulated as people should be able to make their own decisions, but I also don't think they should be humored and blindly tolerated by the rest of the population.
If the 12.5m figure is correct, it would probably still hold the record, wouldn't it? The Apple II, TRS-80 model III, or the IBM-brand original PC are the only contenders I can think of.
> For me, Christianity was astrology: something that made me feel superficially better sometimes, but was really just pushing me further and further away from any actual healing or personal development.

> I grew up in an evangelical, southern-baptist church.

Well there's your problem. Not all denominations are created equal.

> None of it was without ulterior motives.

Yes, this is what you get when you take away the real heart of Christianity, all you have left is a useless shadow of the real thing that can't produce its proper effects in a soul.

I really have to write a book about this. There are too many people who have absolutely no idea what Christianity is, and because of that, they all keep abandoning it and refuse to even consider it. Or they hold fast to an emasculated, false version of it, and spread this counterfeit religion believing it to be the real thing, despite it not producing the fruits of it within their own lives.

Mitsubishi, Buick, Mini, Chevy, Dodge, etc all fall below the Nissan/Toyota/Honda level in my mind. That doesn't mean all their cars are worse than all of Nissan's cars; it just means my experience tells me that aren't "made as nice" (the details I mentioned).
Sorry, how is Rust not that language? You can use single threaded executors that only require Send and not Sync on data being executed on.
"Postmodernism is poison"

If there is anything that postmodernism has taught us. It's that bite-sized "truths" like this can never encompass an actual truth or reveal any meaningful reality.
Rage against the (EV)Machine part 1: contract size
To add to this... learn enough git to setup your projects in github. Setup an organization in github as yourid-samples or yourid-learning ... that way you can keep it out of your main user repo.

I have a dokku box (there's a market setup on DigitalOcean, would go with at least a $10 box on DO). You can then setup all your projects on the dokku box as you go. `git push deploy` ... bonus if you can get integrated with Github's CI/CD pipelines.

I see a lot of example sites from those who come out of bootcamps, or on their own learning path... the extra bit is actually having running samples. It's easy enough to get a domain name and point *.domain at a dokku box.

The other extra points part will be to have tests with code coverage on your projects. Frankly, a lot of code/modules that go into production don't have this, so it's not a hard requirement, but is something that will put you ahead of competition when starting out.

If you have no knowledge at all, I'd suggest getting started with "Head First HTML And CSS"[1]. It's not the most in-depth, but a pretty good beginner book for getting started. From there I would go through the "Modern JavaScript"[3] series from O'Reilly as well as "CSS: The Definitive Guide"[3].

From there, it's a matter of what interests you. Though React, Angular or Vue would be good next steps. Followed by backend with Node.js as well as PostgreSQL (or MS SQL). From there, the sky is the limit.

>major assets.

Such a scheme could also require you to list a value of "all unlisted assets". If you try to hide a gold bar by lumping it in with all your trash, then the government can buy out and auction "all of razorunreal's unlisted assets" as a job jot. Companies would pop up specialising in identifying people with hidden assets to profit from them.
>No. It's not better. That way lies Russia.

Please don't misread my comment as a prescription towards a political end. It does not follow that I would endorse any politician, nor does it follow that I subscribe to "the ends justify the means".

>If you already believe all politicians are liars, how is it at all helpful for a politician to tell you something you already know -- that he or she is lying?

I take it as a courtesy when their spiel is over the top and theatrical. It is a small conciliation when they embrace the absurdity of their position and go overboard. The presumption of political truthiness is insulting to me as a viewer. I understand that they are in a position that requires them to lie and cheat. I empathize, but I don't support them or endorse the process.

>Don't give up on the truth.

In the context of politics, these 'truths' are often highly subjective and ideologically driven.

Consider the drug war and all of the studies which were funded/suppressed to justify prohibition. Yet today cannabis is regarded as a panacea by many.

Even in the material sciences knowledge is constantly revised. Yet so many are willing to stand on this false summit and beat their chests as if they have reached the apex of understanding. In the case of politics what follows is the coercive force of the state to achieve some ends suggested by their limited understanding.

No, I haven't given up on truth. I reject politics as a means to any end.

>Some politicians take none of those steps.

Again with "This time is different", I'll call this special pleading. Believing in politicians and expecting change is like loaning money to an addict.
It's interesting that "Millenials got shafted". When I went to college in the 1980's, it was much cheaper than now - I admit that. I lived in a very small dorm room with 4 guys in it and one bathroom on a whole floor of dorm rooms. I worked part time during the school year and full time during the summer to pay for it. I had no car, no TV and only ate food the school provided via my meal plan.

I now work for a large public university. Let's compare. Most students don't have jobs at all. Most students live in high end apartments (lots of these apartments cost more than my mortgage payment for my 4 bedroom house - per person). These students visit the town restaurants quite often and we have bars that are overflowing on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights with college students. When I've asked how this happens, I'm told that college loans let you pay for room and board so they happily get the most expensive housing possible because it's "free". Almost all students have cars and lots of them have a "parking ticket budget" so have no problems parking illegally and paying for it. It's also "free" because of their student loan.

Who is shafting whom?
IIUC Common law courts were supposed to be exactly that - that's where the concept of judicial precedent comes from. When a court hears a case and decides it's different enough from previous cases it makes a new ruling for that scenario which is now a precedent for other cases in that scenario. The collection of rulings built up over time is the law.

I only skimmed the first two links, which have no citations, and read like a diatribe from someone who miss basic premisses in economy, sociology, anthropology (that are taught at a 101 class on those subjects) while making a grandiose case that people are not taught Statistics 101 before writing works based on statistic!

It is full of opinion (e.g. the author has the opinion that free market solved gender equality and made the poor richer [1] p.18).

Looks more like satire and internal jokes (trolling?) than an academic work.
If you want to trigger a conversation you could just as easily say:

As to the touted ineffectiveness of political advertising, the arguments would ring far truer if 1) the parties claiming such reflected the belief in their actions and 2) would not protest so loudly efforts to either curtail or 3) clearly identify those doing the advertising and spending.

1) This is the case, isn't it. In America the Republicans were far more relaxed about the ruling allowing unlimited US campaign money, then spent around half the amount the Democrats did and won.

If they were really being duplicitous about it you'd have seen major freakouts amongst Trump supporters about his very low levels of spending, but I don't remember much of that. You saw far more angst amongst Democrats about the "free" news coverage he got by virtue of saying popular-but-unpopular things.

I'm not saying people are totally consistent on this, but at least in the last election, Trump's behaviour appears to have matched the overall right wing pattern of not really believing political spending is a big deal. The US needs a pretty high baseline of political ad spend just to communicate "there's an election on day X, vote for candidate Y" to 350+ million people in a very short space of time. Beyond that it doesn't seem to matter.

2) Why shouldn't they protest? It's perfectly possible to both believe that government control over speech is bad on principle, and also that political advertising isn't as powerful as your opponents believe.

3) Why should people doing political ad spending be forced to be identified, but people posting political views on the internet not be? A good reason to not force identification of such people is to stop retaliatory attacks by extremists designed to silence people, a very real problem. This is especially important in elections where there's a risk whoever comes to power will try to get revenge on people who supported their opponents. Not normally a risk in US politics because of the First Amendment but it's been seen elsewhere.
That was clearly not an actual supporter. I mean, that is pretty obvious. A more realistic defense: Trump lays on the BS but it doesn't matter if you support X or Y policies and he's the only horse to bet on.
Not the OP, but Go doesn't have this problem because all I/O is async under the hood, but it exposes a sync interface. This means the entire Go ecosystem is bought into a single concurrency model and runtime, which some find irksome, but it works pretty well most of the time. Of course, Go also lacks Rust's static safety features, but I think that's orthogonal to its concurrency approach.
So? It's still force in alignment with the majority. That is better than force in alignment with one central power that may or may not have public interest.
Test case not really needed. The evidence supporting the lead-crime hypothesis is iron-clad at this point.

I can see how some of these could be non-obvious for neuroatypicals though. Heck, emotional nuance of written conversation is hard to grasp even for the average person.

In general I’d say testing the method in a controller is a smell，and in this particular case I’d suggest GET and POST should never have been handled by the same function. If GET did nothing but render the view sending a HEAD would be harmless.
I agree the examples are bad. An article like this would be really helpful with more and better examples.

Yeah, with a waterproof connector. However there's a reason yubikey uses just a float board connector and most of those itty bitty wifi/bluetooth usb-a dongles have custom connectors: the connector and solder joint are much more rigid than the surrounding epoxy. It's just a reality of them being metal joints.

What I mean by solid strain relief is basically a plastic float that bridges the soldered connections to the connector body. I haven't seen one like that, but it's necessary to isolate the connector itself from the board and soldered bits. Covering the whole thing in goop helps for excessive force, but does almost nothing for the everyday wiggles that eventually cause connections to loosen. You need built in flex for that.

Your experience isn’t typical and most people who do good deeds do it because humans get psychic benefit from helping others. Is the joy of giving an ulterior motive in your mind? Most evangelicals don’t care as much about converting others as they do about feeling pious and close to God themselves. Mormons and JW are somewhat exceptional in their missionary focus, oddly do since they believe in a finite number of people will be saved but then again religion isn’t about logic but faith and psychic benefit.
The SFP+ ports on my 150w PoE switch are only 1Gb. The MikroTik CRS305 switch is the most cost effective one I’ve found at ~$130. UniFi has an option but it’s $599.

DAC is the most sensible option considering I need to go from my basement, up 2 more stories to my attic, and drop into my office.
>Apple IIs were popular but largely limited to proprietary products.

Could you please expand on this thought? I'm genuinely curious as to what you mean by proprietary.

I cut my teeth on an Apple ][ with integer BASIC one would load from a tape. (Later, a ][+ with built-in Applesoft Basic and a floppy drive.) I'm puzzled what you mean when you refer to proprietary prouducts. I had an Epson dot-matrix printer, a 110/300 baud Hayes modem, and later AppleCat modem (1200 baud, full duplex, oh yeah!), a time/calendar card. A few different no-name joysticks, etc. The Apple ][s expansion bus slots actively encouraged aftermarket support. Anyone could create a peripherial.

Software came from magazines, commericial sellers (back of Nibble or Popular Computing magazines), shareware, my own imagination, BBS downloads, etc.

I think in more ways than not, the experience with the Apple ][ was in common with Commodore 64/128 users. The industry was blossoming, and competing by offering wildly different solutions with a common core.
It sounds like you haven't read the article at all.

He has been paying into a scheme for many decades, even though there was no requirement for him to do so. Then as a result of literal theft from a pension scheme, a law was introduced that established a minimum funding requirement on pension schemes, even ones which have been running like this one - for 40 years and completely solvent, meaning that the fund is able to pay out the promised money. No promises were ever broken here. But because the law made an unrealistic minimum funding requirement(probably based on the number of years * some amount) this scheme is now suddenly magically underfunded and he is personally liable to pull £1.2M out of his ass. This doesn't make any sense. He has never lied to anyone, never done something that he shouldn't have, all the promises that he made can and will be kept - but the law fucked him over for literally no reason. It's like walking along on a street, happy and healthy, and being hit by a stray bullet - it can mess up your entire life at no fault of your own.

Isn't this a sign that AMD's test suites are incomplete?

If they implement a feature correctly then break it in the new design, it suggests their test suites didn't exercise it properly, otherwise (you'd think) they would have caught the regression in the new design and fixed it before release.

It seems to me you find people who have a vague idea of what project they want built the same way you find people who have a fleshed out idea of what project they want built. And I'd much rather find people who have fleshed out idea of what they want to purchase. They seem to much more reliably and quickly pull the trigger.

Imagine you're selling ERP systems and you have a client who says "we need an ERP system that has features X,Y, and Z" versus "we think we need sometype of system to manage our business"

To be perfectly honest, yes it does. But what am I to do if I want maximum interoperability and ease of installation? The difference in penetration my project will get via web extension installation vs binary distribution is huge. I can extend it later with native application calls. Not to mention all of the interactive content that we instantly have access to in the browser vs only on a single person's machine. In addition, the extension also works on mobile Firefox for both ios and android when I use Fenec and extend it.

There are use cases that you'll see in the future that couldn't grow or exist otherwise.

>>Short version: Consultants tell the client what to do. Contractors are brought on to do what they're told.

My company does both of these (we're in tech), and I can authoritatively tell you that in the overwhelming majority of engagements this is a distinction without a difference. Over the past five years I haven't had a single client who just had me "tell them what to do". Typically, if we're being brought in, the expectation is that we will not only identify what needs to be done to solve the problem, but that we will also do it ourselves.

Totally agree. I used to know a hardcore catholic and spend a lot of time around other hardcore catholics and I was amazed at how nearly anything could be back-rationalized and absorbed into the philosophical framework with ease. It's as if the framework itself is designed to neutralize counterarguments. And not because it is based in reality and there is evidence to back everything up, but rather because, as you mentioned, the logical framework is so self-consistent.

The answer to this question depends heavily on your location. For example, I live in Cleveland and it's dominated by .NET companies, so for someone here, my answer to "how do I get to paying my bills" (ignoring any other factor) would be to learn .NET. Other cities are dominated by Java, or ruby or node.js in some cases. In any case, you'd also be well-advised to learn some basic frontend (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) since every tech stack I mentioned needs a frontend to go with it.

How to figure out what's popular in your city? Searching job postings can definitely help, see what the common trends are. It also helps just to talk with folks in your local tech scene. Google "<your city> tech slack" -- most major cities have a general-purpose slack team for the local tech community, and you should have no problem finding some general information.
Working in various companies I have seen code reviews become filled with micro-aggressions and outright nastiness. Code reviews have a purpose but that often gets clouded in personal judgements.
