I don't necessarily disagree with you; however, strictly for sake of argument, a couple of potential reasons:

- Providing a sense of security strikes me as a core role of society.

- People who are afraid tend to be willing to resort to draconian measures like NIMBYism to protect themselves.

- Anxiety that things could change so much that one is unable to follow their chosen way of life strikes me as a reasonable fear.
The situation's essentially the same in the UK (EU?) due to it being a protected characteristic under the Equality Act.

You can't say 'well disabled people aren't the target demographic, so no I don't have a ramp' any more than you can say 'whites only'.

The other commenter didn't claim it was a moral (as opposed to statutory) right, but even if that was the intention, I think that's a reasonable position to take and argue for, even if others disagree.
I worked one day a week in an office in San Jose and a guy wore his MAGA hat to work the day after Trump won in 2016, he got about 25% of the vote in Santa Clara county so plenty of them here. There are also a few Trump emblazoned trucks/houses if you happen to spend much time in rural areas outside of San Jose/San Francisco. Also, my local little town newspaper had a front page story about a couple that were GOP supporters that went to the Trump inauguration.
I don't see what the big deal is. Even a cursory glance at the 3 star rating - not to mention the reviews - makes it clear that it's a product to avoid.

As an individual, many of Go's benefits aren't as useful. It's optimized for team settings, emphasizing consistency, readability, explictness, and low cognitive overhead, which are all major weaknesses of Haskell, and major reasons it's not widely used in industry.
My takeaway from a visit to Austin a few years ago: "Everything seems so liberal, except for all of these massive pickup trucks that keep trying to run me over!"
I mean I was raised by my grandmother and grandfather while my parents worked. Did you think I didn't need to emphasize the importance of extended family? My father and mother also take care of my daughter, as do my wife's. However, she still wants her mom at night, no matter who is around. This makes it harder for my wife to work. It is unfair to even ask her to, given her work when dealing with the baby at night.

I suppose we could bottle feed. But my wife doesn't want to, and it is linked to worse outcomes for kids so asking moms to do this for the sake of their career is like asking them to cut their nose to spite their face.

> It was even more obvious before the establishment of the nuclear family that a whole bunch of people should work together to raise children because not only does it improve the outcome, it's more efficient.

Of course, but there's only one mom still. My parents were raised in a ' non-nuclear family' where aunts and uncles lived next door. Hell, I was raised by my mom's family and my parents often living together. Do you think the mom wasn't preferred out of all these people? You have to be joking. The only people who ascribe 'the nuclear family' as a bogeyman are people who idolize extended families. Believe it or not, even in an extended family situation, with grandma, grandpa, aunts and uncles... babies still prefer their mothers.
In California, public money is spent on things like gender reassignment surgeries for govt/public sector employees and prison inmates..we have student loan forgiveness schemes if you work for 3-5 years for the county...retirement at 50 for most law enforcement and Fire Dept employees. Billions of dollars in pension funds and unfunded pension liabilities. Mayor Newsom just increased funds homelessness by another one billion. Yes, one billion in services like counseling. Not actual homes for the homeless. We offer services and education for all undocumented immigrants. First two years of community college free.

That’s why so many flock to California. Because life in the golden state is golden. And then they try to change prop 13 to punitively tax the senior citizenry and retirees on fixed income. Because. As someone spat out earlier ..”low taxation zealots” are the bad guys.

Designer Notes: Making a Colour Scheme
This doesn’t really track as an explanation. Why couldn’t you restructure teams or retrain people instead of firing them? If it was an internal organizational conflict as you say, it seems rash and strategically unsound to let good people go instead of refactoring the internal conflict in a way that deploys those people in other roles, or at least some of them.

While I don’t think there is anything deceptive or mean-spirited about your comment, it just doesn’t add up, and comes off a bit like the same old corporate verbal shuffling.

Of course not. But the average woman wants three kids. WHO says babies should breastfeed for two years. My daughter has nursed for 13 months. A mother taking off three chunks of 13 month leaves while married to a man probably earning as much or more than she does (since women disproportionately marry similar or higher earning men) is going to -- at some point -- realize that it's easier to stay at home. That is exactly what my wife did.

> Even the concept of the nuclear family - with one possible nurse and mother figure - isn’t a universal construct of human societies.

Yes it is. The only people who claim this are people who've never lived in an extendend family situation. You still know who your mom and dad are. They are still the primary care givers, and babies still have a primary attachment to their moms when born that self-reinforces itself unless there is some major disruption.

Australian bushfires from the air: before and after images
In Australia mineral resources belong to the Crown, the government can issue licenses to survey and/or mine, and in most cases the landholder can’t veto this process. However I believe that the landholder is entitled to a lease payment. See for example https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2014-04-03/mining-rights/5...

How do you have deep, written discussions with your teams?
What is the best way to have careful, deep, written discussions among distributed teams? Are there tools meant for this? Would something like a BBS work. If so, are there good modern options?

We use distributed teams. We communicate using a mix of email, Slack, and Zoom. Our work involves lengthy discussions and deep dives into complex issues. This type of 'deep discussion' benefits from carefully written arguments and counterarguments.

Emails often start fine. Someone sends a well structured, well written argument. The first few replies will be strong. But then it diverges into a mess of threads that are hard to follow. People resort to color-coding their responses in-line, etc.

Slack is too chatty. Other chat-based solutions are the same. I've never seen it work for this type of 'deep discussion.' Conversations get scattered across channels and threads within channels. Maybe we're using it wrong. To me it's the worst way to encourage deep discussion.

Zoom, calls, and in-person meetings are hit or miss. The advantage is they seem to cut to the chase on simple issues. But for deep discussion, they often go nowhere. They favor speaking ability. No one prepares enough. Instead of careful thought and discussion, you get hot takes. A lot of our discussion benefits from going away to gather evidence or think more. Rarely is there a need for synced discussion. And there's never enough time.

I've tried to find off-the-shelf solutions. A simple, old-fashioned BBS seems best. It breaks things into the right unit of discussion. It works for short- or long-form discussion. It creates a coherent timeline of discussion, etc.

I worry that without the bells and whistles of a modern app, getting the team to use it will be a challenge. It'll be viewed as a stale company discussion board. A lot of options I've looked at have clunky interfaces and tough learning curves for what should be super simple and intuitive.

Sony Slogan Change Gives Weight to PS5 Leak
I think they all privately found they cause hearing damage. Since NC is sending out a cancelling wave to your ears doesn't mean they are actually reducing the total air pressure force inside your ears itself. To avoid future liability they pushed silent firmware updates that decrease the total sound pressure in the ear generated by the NC function while not telling anyone to avoid automatic future guilty verdicts.
Beware; the news outlets peddling the twin lines of "it's arson" and "greenies stopped us clearing land", or their slightly diluted variants, are the same that wheel out coal lobbyists to make dark pronouncements on how climate action threatens jobs.

There has indeed been a lack of controlled burning, but that's because the planned clearance was itself inhibited by hotter, drier conditions earlier in the year.

The causes of ignition are statistically very poorly understood. What is known, however, is that convictions for arson have been in steady decline, and 2019 had the lowest levels of intentionally causing a bushfire for at least a decade.

Not only that, but despite the proximity to human habitation, the current fires have been (so far, touch wood) less fatal than the catastrophic bushfires of 2009. The Royal Commission into those fires found a lack of preparation and poor advice. Since then, policy and awareness of risk has changed dramatically for the better - including a reduction in the sources of inadvertent/accidental human causes of ignition.

To sum up, both suggestions fail to support the conclusion "this is how it always was".

The problem is that in most areas the government is primarily voted in by existing landowners, who don't want more housing, and don't care if lower-income renters are being forced out.

I've been an exclusive user of touchpads on some Lenovo and Dell laptops over past 10 years and I also have Apple Magic Trackpad 2 and access to a Macbook, so I have a comparison.

The only difference in the actual hardware that I noticed (aside of the surface texture, which is up to personal taste, and of course size, which you can easily check before even buying) is that the ones from the first half of the decade required some jitter-filtering in software, while newer ones did not. Also, Apple touchpad does an unusually big share of input filtering on the device itself, while most other ones leave it to the software (which is fine, unless your software does it poorly of course).

Generally Windows drivers for touchpads used to be shit for a very long time; this only started to change a few years ago. On GNU/Linux it depends on the configuration, but there's a ridiculous amount of ways to screw it up, so some people don't even realize that it can be better (although it seems to be getting better with recent driver stacks).

Honestly, when I first started working on mypass, I wasn't aware of "pass".

Anyway, one issue I have with "pass" is that it leaks metadata, as it uses the file system to organize different credentials, while only the files storing the credentials itself are encrypted.

Also "pass" uses GPG for encryption, which can provide additional security if you store your private key on an external drive or smartcard, and take additional measures to make it more difficult to obtain access to your password store and private key at the same time. But in the more common setup where the password store is stored along the private key on the same device, cracking your GPG passphrase will require less computation than cracking a passphrase using PBKDF2 with 256,000 iterations like used for key derivation in mypass.

NJ has Abbott districts:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbott_district

It’s a tax to try and equalize resources for all schools, and is very progressive in sense. Other states let poor areas have poor funding for schools, whereas NJ requires richer areas to send funding to poorer areas to try to give the poor children a chance. I actually think this is an admirable goal of NJ.

NJ also has one of the worst unfunded defined benefit pension problems, which is obviously not so admirable, and will continue to contribute to rising taxes of all kinds and decrease in government services in NJ for the next 30 years.

I put a lot of work into understanding AWS and gave it an honest try for 6 months or so, and ended up realizing it's an approach to solving a problem that simply doesn't jive with me. I went back to DO, and it made both personal sense for me and economic sense for the product.

It's obviously an incredible platform with excellent tooling, and it probably powers most of the websites I use. But like most trades the same job can be done to a similar standard at a variety of scales using wildly different processes and tooling. And that's fine. The economics seem to be inverted (AWS is large scale and quite expensive in my experience while DO is smaller and cheaper), but it's also not a perfect analogy. I just won't begrudge anyone for using a tool or process I don't love. If it gets your blog or multi-million dollar revenue product online, that's awesome.

I'm glad I can say I used some AWS stuff on my resume, but for my own work I'd only use it if it had a clear advantage over whatever else I'm using.

This sounds like a parallel effort (along with the commit graph work) to keep pushing that better. The article's writer (who also wrote most of the blog posts on the commit graph work) mentions a "three million file repository" used for testing in this article and that would of course sound like the Windows repo.

It's also I'd imagine not mutually exclusive effort. It seems like exactly like something you would want in combination with something like VFS at scale, as it reduces the number of materialized versus virtual objects in both the git working copy and the git object database. If you've got millions or billions of objects and files, even reducing the number of virtual placeholders I would imagine is probably a big win.

In some EU countries the laws mandate that it's the employers responsibility to provide the legally required vacation, because of the implict expectation that if the employee does not take the accrued vacation days then it's quite likely that it's not actually voluntary but because of some pressure by the employer or peers. Explicit pressure would be illegal, but since that's impractical to prove or enforce, 'sending' people to vacation (at least the minimum legal amount) is not just afforded, but required.
