If trades make so much money, how come no one is bitching about fatcat plumbers and roofers? Why hasn't the NY Times published any articles about how "Big Plumbing is soaking the middle class" etc.? For all the ways the middle class is getting hammered, I have yet to see one book about how plumbers are killing the middle class like I have with doctors, lawyers, techbros, and bankers. Until a journalist from NY Times or Bloomberg writes a book about how the decline of the American middle class is due to a plumbing conspiracy, you're just not bourgeois. Sorry.
I like that this removes some of the need to trust the service. When you open a link in a browser it's tedious to verify that the webpage doesn't send the secret to anyone, but this way you only have to trust the command line tool, which can't be replaced unpredictably.
Mongodb ODM for Golang
MGM is model based and makes search and aggregate super easy to do in Golang. It's easy to config Mongo's go driver.

All Mongo operators are predefined so you don't have to hard code them.

It also has hooks for all the CRUD functions. You can do anything before/after all operations.

this is the first Golang ODM wrapper for Mongo DB.

give it a try and let us know what you think :)
Because watching television or going to a football match is clearly entertainment.

But you get a discount on electric installation if you sign up for your new service online.

Internet service isn't just entertainment: It is communication, banking, and lots of very basic things folks need in life. It just happens to be multi-purpose, so you get the entertainment value as well.

Many jobs require internet access to apply: Fewer and fewer take any sort of paper applications and not everywhere has kiosks to apply and test at (low paying jobs, at least). Heck, game disks are getting rarer, so you sometimes need to be online to use a PC game. Lots of research for school papers is done online.

Also, communication. Few folks send snail mail letters anymore due to email. Chat programs work well too.

If you aren't connected to the internet, you are at a disadvantage. I cannot say that about television in general or a football match - going without those sometimes means you don't have as much to talk about with folks that consume those.
This guy is so full of it (Lazar). If he didn't set off your BS meter, it's time to send it back in for a recalibration.

Stuart Sierra components and ECS components are not really the same thing though. They share the name “components” but not thaaat much else.

Stuart Sierra Components are more akin to Unity’s behaviour components prior to their introduction of an ECS. They’re a way of encapsulating state which may have dependencies and has a lifecycle (needing to be started or stopped).

ECS components are purely blobs of (usually fine grained) state, the existence and combination of which in an entity creates behaviours (that is, the systems which implement the behaviour will dynamically do so for any entity that has the prerequisite components, but the components are just data).

I always preferred naming ECS components as “traits” (they are the traits that an entity has, eg “animated”) and the systems “behaviours” (they are the behaviours exhibited by entities that have certain traits).
The Constitution of India looks down on Hindus? Can you explain what you mean or cite some relevant passages from the Constitution of India?
We had indeed excellent analog audio for many decades. But there are still very exciting things happening which are improving the audio quality a lot - expecially in the middle and lower range of the spectrum.
There are great pure analog setups, but they require a lot of very expensive and bulky technology, none the least, large speakers and a carefully set up room with good accustics.

Modern digital technology makes this so much easier and more. There are excellent digital power amps, where you have power amplification on one chip integrated with the DAC.
Just looking at some of the features of a simple Homepod, there are exciting technologies involved, which could improve also higher end audio. First is driving the bass speaker in a feedback loop. In classical audio technology, you would have a power signal and have to rely on the speaker to transfer this into motion with as little as possible of distortion. Which required the speaker to behave like a perfect spring for different frequencies. So this is a very difficult task, making the speaker expensive and often imperfect. Homepods drive their bass speakers in a feedback loop, the desired position of the membrane is calculated and an electric circuit drives it into that position. It does no longer depend on the mechanical properties of the membrane, also allowing for much higher motion range than in a classical speaker.
Also, the active monitoring of the room acoustics with several directional microphones is an improvement vs. classical set up amplifiers, even if they had a microphone input for set up.

So I don't see us hitting peak audio at all yet, that makes for exciting times for music lovers.
I was thinking about Go not Python when writing the above.
It's interesting you point this out, because a few philosophers and legal scholars have questioned why free speech is a "human right" rather than (their examples) "running" or "eating chips".
Yes, but you get the 6-8% as a tax deduction if you can pay it as long as the loan is from the govt.
> University is the concept of someone teaching you a topic and then you being able to claim you are qualified in this topic.

University is supposed to be learning from the experience of experts. Having a person with experience on hand cuts down the time needed to learn things. Online articles and tutorials aren't a dialogue. Online forums are good, but often can't promise somebody will care about your education. Universities have staff who are paid to teach, talk with, and answer you.

That's not to say you're wrong about the value of universities in practice. Kids are told to focus on reviewing textbooks with other students in the same class, getting high grades, and graduating with a degree. People say "visit professors during office hours," but don't stress that this is part of the most valuable thing in a university: an expert who is required to help you learn the field.

> Experience > degree. After the first 2-4 years of work experience nobody cares anymore about your initial degree, unless it's medicine or law.

Assuming a similar skill level. But a student can leave a 4-year university with a higher skill level than somebody who learned on the job for 4 years. Those people usually just have time to learn about the job they have, so they might take longer to gain skills for the next rung on the career ladder.
>Not sustainable. "Government money" (money taken from it's citizenry) eventually runs out.

Okay? That doesn't seem to be happening in Europe for example. Everything runs fine. There's internet access in rural areas. The world didn't collapse.

>Plus granting a firm a government monopoly on a region is always a bad idea that ultimately hinders the development and deployment of new solutions.

It's an auction. And others can choose to deploy afterwards.

>Cab medallions in NYC. Fixed price airline tickets. Exclusive right to trade spices west of the prime meridian.

Yes, the free market seems to work fine in this case. That's why these Alabamians have 1 Gbps fibre... oh no wait they have no access to the Internet at all. Dammit. Call Ayn Rand

All voice assistant service options are entirely disabled until you go into the settings and set one of them up. The update may well have made it possible to set up Alexa, but it would not have done so.
We should hold companies like AT&T accountable for the billions they have given to investors that was supposed to supply internet to rural areas for a start.

iOS isn’t just used on 3.5” screens, though - my 8” iPad mini screen could certainly accommodate a scrollbar. I also frequently interact with controls smaller than a scrollbar - apple's 'finger resolving' algorithm seems more than capable of this.

I know it’s still there - that’s why I said “instant”. It’s a very minor concern, I’ll grant you.

A good reason why some of the benchmarking software is closed source is because it makes it harder for vendors to design ways to circumvent the point of the tests (which is often to test the speed of the hardware).
This is the dumbest thing ever. Sonos never receives the materials so you don't get credit "for recycling your speakers for materials", they somehow give you credits for destroying a piece of hardware so that it cannot be reused.

They literally get nothing, except to make their devices more rare by having old ones bricked. Which is WRONG, in this world of increasing waste.

Your idea that this somehow overall is a good set of incentives seems to be based on two things: One, that people would otherwise just throw them in the trash, which isn't true. Two, that it's somehow a good thing to give customers the choice to brick it for no other reason than Sonos credit.

Out of curiosity, did you get a microbiome test (e.g. from Viome) before and after removing each one of these elements from your diet, or did you make conclusions based on how you felt? Of course everyone is different, but I think published research supports your suggestion that sugar and alcohol are "bad" and fruits, vegetables, and resistant starch are "good", but disagrees on coffee. Here's a recent study showing association between high coffee intake and "good" gut microbiome [1]. I put good and bad in scare quotes because it seems the science around this is still pretty weak, mostly based on associations rather than clear and verified mechanisms.

>But you get a discount on electric installation if you sign up for your new service online.

That should be illegal. It's discrimination for a basic service.

>Internet service isn't just entertainment: It is communication, banking, and lots of very basic things folks need in life.

You can still walk into the bank. Checking your account from home is cool, but hardly a vital thing.

>Many jobs require internet access to apply: Fewer and fewer take any sort of paper applications and not everywhere has kiosks to apply and test at (low paying jobs, at least). Heck, game disks are getting rarer, so you sometimes need to be online to use a PC game. Lots of research for school papers is done online.

I doubt they can pull this shit off in a place where 25% of people have no access to the Internet. Otherwise they wouldn't find applicants.

>Also, communication. Few folks send snail mail letters anymore due to email. Chat programs work well too.

A bummer. Hardly a "human rights" issue.
Not always. Certain services, electricity for example, are “natural monopolies”. Once someone is in there, it makes no economic sense for others to compete, this is where government regulated monopolies are the optimal solution.
Have you commuted or driven around NYC or LA? Unless you live in the same neighborhood, your commute to the hospital is already going to be 30-60 minutes. Not to mention that of the top hundred hospitals in the country, only a handful are in NYC or LA.

One could make an argument that living in rural areas is worse than urban ones when it comes to access to top medical care, but that has nothing to do with the NYC/LA vs. the rest of the country.
The issue is that trades don’t scale like all of the things you mention. Even if you own a very successful plumbing company, your ability to scale is constrained by geography, labor costs and finding people you can trust to manage your company. Not to mention, there are market forces working against the plumber trying to scale, and the plumber’s ability to affect policy is proportional to the ability to scale.

Anecdotally, plumbers charge more per hour in some cases than many lawyers make. Their income, however, is limited by their ability to book many jobs and actually carry them out. The opportunity cost of one job is exactly another job. So comparing to other wage earners their income is high, but compared to a banker that can make several loans in the course of a day where the opportunity cost is only capital (which they have practically unlimited access to being that theyre a banker) changes the situation quite drastically.
I wonder how many daily things still have fluorescent elements. In the 90s there was a little fad (my ikea bed light has a fluorescent switch, and we had a few items like this).
It's partly that, but it also serves to fracture and de-motivate the "violent people". A ruler cannot necessarily count on blind obedience from the military and the police if they start ordering them to attack their fellow citizens.

While some regimes get overthrown by mass uprisings, many more lose power because they either lose support from the security state or create an insurrection inside of it. Of course the lines here are often fuzzy.

My problem with systemd is that it is not just a init system. It goes further than that and it exposes apis that third parties use. It is tempting to use systemd functionality as developer, but then you are no longer portable to bsd, darwin or other systems. I think systemd is bad because it will break links between the various unixes.
That being said, as system administrator, I found systemd mostly to be ok, but sometimes you run in non reproducable problems. I have sometimes that servers don't come up, because the network unit didn't get started. Restarting fixes it. I haven't been able to reproduce it and the logs are also not very helpful.
I've never had such angry reactions as I got from these guys.
no, that’s completely wrong. You are confusing averages and conditional probabilities. On average, those from higher classes may do better - that doesn’t mean that a kid from s lower social class should take that as guidance. It means we should try to erase or lessen differences of opportunities between classes.
Some of these differences are probably innate. A brain surgeon is likely smart and his kids are probably also smart. Some, but most are due to informational deficiencies and networking effects.
Since this is a global problem, I woukd be happy if the government in my country could make it simpler to reduce my carbon footprint. Now all I get is frustraded by reading news like this.

As a theoretical matter, non-systemd alternatives are as important as the HURD is to the Linux kernel.

Practically, I'm booting Linux and using systemctl like a boss, chiefly due to that 24hour/day invariant that nobody escapes.
A potential problem I see in this approach is that many people seem to mistake Occam's Razor conclusions, aka intuition as far as the common man is concerned, as the truth.

I would argue that widespread adoption of explicit acknowledgement that in fact, many (if not most) of the the current Top 100 Disputes in the public sphere actually have an answer of UNKNOWN (as opposed to what 95% of politicians, intellectuals, and thought leaders would have us believe), would go a very long way towards kicking off a process whereby global society could start towards reaching consensus compromise on all issues.

I fully realize this belief is amazingly naive if considered within the context of objective reality and history, but I also believe it is absolutely true (if perhaps unachievable given our current state of affairs).
I live in a smaller town and I had a very nice plumber show up in like 10 minutes for a simple job for $150.
I wonder how microplastic emissions are measured. Probably just some random sampling and estimation, but it would be interesting to know how they account for things like irregular pollution patterns (think about that huge garbage pile in the Pacific). I’m sure they can get pretty sophisticated with their methods... even accounting for things like tidal patterns.

There's a very nice graphic in the Twitter thread showing "reduce > re-use > recycle > trash". They are different things, so let's not make things extra confusing by saying "recycle by reusing".

Anyway, what Sonos is incentivizing through their credit is to make people choose the option "recycle or trash". They have no incentive to make people choose one over the other. And as already mentioned elsewhere in the thread, many recycling centres won't take a completely bricked device, so I think it's pretty fair to say that in practice what Sonos is incentivizing is for people to first brick, then TRASH the device in exchange for these credits.

Either way, Sonos is actively dis-incentivizing the "re-use" option, which is the most environmentally friendly one.

And the only reason they do this is their profit.
Dealing with the corrections is just another product. When I worked with IBES data, which collects all these estimates, you needed to buy a package called something like "As Was" to recreate any arbitrary point in time estimate.
> Here it is possible that anti-systemd votes are spread across many options and pro systemd votes are concentrated in only one or two. So even if you have most votes on "Focus on systemd" it doesn't mean that it is what most people want.

As I said in my above reply which you've ignored, that is not how the voting system works. It is not possible to split votes like that in Condorcet. Everyone who opposes systemd can vote for all of the non-systemd options and not diminish the chances of any of them.

Oh? How's PG&Es monopoly working for California? I'm of the opinion that much smaller grids with high volume solar would do a lot better of a job.

Sure the monopoly made sense when it was issued, but once tech catches up to the point of making it obsolete, the incumbent rarely goes down without a fight, delaying the deployment of new technologies, ultimately hurting consumers.

They're not "neutral"because they're in loss.

I remember since my childhood that NDTV has always been critical of the government and that's why I liked it but due to Burkha Dutt, I started to dislike the channel.

Now NDTV is the only channel which reports facts. You see Republic, Zee news etc blatantly spread govt agenda. But that's not because they're in loss, that's because they have sold their soul or never had one to begin with.

Also the media channels which kiss the emperors ring get contracts and are gaining profit. They fear monger and STILL blame the opposition even though BJP has ruled the county for six years. Of course you're surprised, you created a new just to spread propaganda here!

The plumber is not making $95 an hour even if he owns the business. I worked for a contracting company and we charged $118 an hour for most service calls, our technicians ranged from $20 to $35 per hour. That looks like robbery but you factor in taxes, management, logistics, vehicle maintenance and management, rent, benefits, office staff to take calls, and you get up to that $118 very quickly. Unfortunately that’s just the nature of business in the trades.

The Guys doing the work make a fraction of the hourly rate, anywhere from 15 to 35 percent (not counting benefits). The rest goes to the house.
If you didn't care about downvotes, you wouldn't have responded to your own post to complain about downvotes twice. It's also possible that some people who disagree with you are not ignorant and they're not suppressing data. They just place a higher importance on some data versus other data.
