If you are working with Wagtail, I recommend you the tutorial https://learnwagtail.com/wagtail-for-beginners/. You will see how to create good links in Django/Wagtail. Also you can see from the associated github repo [0] that they create links but you will not really understand well how this stuff work unless you go trough the whole tutorial.

It should be noted that while you can't delete / edit messages you _can_ delete blobs (binary attachments). They'll come back if you load a post that references them, but that's where the majority of size comes from and it is manageable.

Also, how much you download is related to how many people you follow, and text doesn't take up a ton of space.
Hah! One of my favourite topics: The Gentle Tyranny of Call/Return.

I am still writing it up, but it looks like we are currently stuck in the call/return architectural style or even paradigm. Meaning all our languages offer what are in essence variations of call/return, be they subroutines, procedures, function or methods.

However, a lot of the problems we need to solve or systems we want to build do not conform to this pattern. Probably the majority by now. When we have such a system, we have choice to make, with two bad options on offer: either conform to the system/problem, therefore having something that constantly grates against the language/environment, or conform with call/return and grate against the problem you're trying to solve.

Streaming is an example of this. I presented Standard Object Out: Streaming Objects with Polymorphic Write Streams at DLS '19, which shows some of the nasty effects and the start of a solution.

https://conf.researchr.org/details/dls-2019/dls-2019/7/Standard-Object-Out-Streaming-Objects-with-Polymorphic-Write-Streams

I also addressed this problem more generally at last summer's ESUG '19, talking about Objective-Smalltalk:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrD3TrVuiV0&list=PLJ5nSnWzQXi8DPNpy1jCkjE4yE0WUtDP2&index=53

Objective-Smalltalk makes it possible to express systems (I hesitate to even call them programs) in non-call/return styles (such as dataflow/streaming) as naturally as call/return systems and without giving up interoperability with the (large) call/return world.
Tying immigration to productivity loss? I thought immigration leads to an increase in productivity (but also wage stagnation).

Why did other EU countries not suffer the same around 2004?

Germany's looks like it skyrocketed. Same with Switzerland's.

France, Benelux and Spain show an increase in productivity.

Italy, which chose to not apply any restrictions in 2007 (RO/BG ascension) shows a massive increase post 2007.

Norway, which is not a popular destination, has a weird curve.

The United States has around the same percentage of immigrants per year as the UK - ~0.3% of the total population. Canada's is double that (and rising) at 0.65%. Explain their continued growth in spite of immigration? Or maybe it's due to it? Mexico's productivity is dropping, fwiw.
This makes more sense to me than actually the app melting down under load which was implied from some reporting.

Then if the Iowa DNC (or whoever) didn't staff up the phones to the usual levels as expecting most results to come through the app, you can kind of get to how something this ridiculous happened...

Either way it's a complete lack of pretty basic testing/training, whether it's with real life users or the scale of the app, or whatever it was, they seem like pretty preventable problems from the outside looking in.

Yes. I've found that games with lots of 'anti-cheat' technology suffer from them much worse (because for a start, they don't normally ban immediately because that makes it easier to 'evade' them, so usually they get bored and leave before any ban occurs). Best anti-cheat is a moderator with enough tools to investigate and who can just kick them as soon as a problem starts (as a bonus you can also deal with a bunch of other bad behaviour, like throwing or abusive chat), but of course games companies don't want to pay for this or to empower users to run their own servers for this.

> Are there affordable housing, transportation, and public safety issues we have to address? Of course. Will we benefit from addressing these problems to add 25,000-35,000 jobs?

As an Arlingtoninian, I remain skeptical that a response of the appropriate magnitude will occur in the region. Those who aren't fortunate enough to have a well-paying job will be forced further outside of the beltway, further worsening their commutes. Affordable apartment buildings will continue to be overhauled and become "luxury", demanding an extra $300+ in rent a month. Well-maintained medium small businesses that were barely breaking even will be forced to shutter as banks and upscale gyms take their spots. This has happened in the region, and will only accelerate with HQ2.

> loss of tax revenues, reduced property values, list employment, or low quality jobs

AFAIK, Arlington was turning around their office vacancy rate before HQ2. Admittedly, it was more focused on the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor, but still...
Having the most votes in the party caucuses is definitely not equivalent to having the best chance to win the election, where you have to appeal to a different set of voters.
Thanks! I created them using draw.io (https://about.draw.io/).
I usually look for time patterns in CVs. Gaps could be part of that. If someone turns over many jobs quickly I don't want to pay to bring someone up to speed only to see them leave when they should hit their stride. Or a month or 2 gap after every job can indicate they are getting the boot as most people swap one job for another.

But one gap for a year, not many would really care I suspect as long as there is a reasonable rationale if they do ask.

If someone had many long gaps then if might flag there is something going on and you'd dig around.
No, I don't believe big business will reckon with it.

Not until the people who travel by private jet, build homes much too big for themselves, and vacation on yachts give up all their stuff. (We all know that's not going to happen.)

It's going to need a world-wide, all-hands-on-deck effort. "Carbon Offsets" only separate the haves from the have-nots.

When the leaders of big business (and government, and entertainment) begin leading by example, then change on a large scale will be possible.
Yeah I never believe the "state-sponsored" hackers claim, or any claim to the location of them, until those hackers get caught and convicted based on real evidence. It's basically guesswork anyway. And certainly to a company like Twitter who doesn't even have the capabilities to really investigate a hack, compared to say the NSA, CIA or similar spooks.

yes, in an ideal world it wouldn't happen. and if you really make it a priority you can certainly mitigate it.
More importantly, you can enjoy (maybe exploding inequality moderates this a bit) a rising standard of living while living from paycheck to paycheck.

Growing up I was raised by classical musicians permanently on the bleeding edge of solvency (not with debt either) but new stuff kept coming that increased both their quality of life and ”nonmonetary” productivity: microwave ovens and computers that my dad could use to take his orchestral compositions (in sheet music for all parts) to part sheets (for individual players) automagically whereas this was work before.

We weren’t in the kind of self-reproducing poverty because my parents had a high “cultural level”, but we were definitely cash poor, and yet kept getting wealthier and wealthier.

> Guess how much time it takes to get a greed card? Atleast 100 years. I'm not joking. Unless there's a policy change, there's no possibility.

Not disputing how ridiculous your situation is, but you do have a couple other options.

The most realistic one would be to save up all your money and apply for the eb5 investor visa. If you're making 6 figures, you should be able to save up the required million dollars in about 10-20 years, depending on how much you make, and how frugal you're willing to live.

The other possibility is you marrying someone who isn't born in India. If you did that, you can use your partner's country of birth instead of your own, when waiting for the priority date. But obviously this isn't something you can plan for, and I wouldn't recommend letting this guide your life decisions.

The last option is progressing your career to the point where you can mount a realistic eb1 application. I've heard anecdotally that it's very hard, but not as hard as people may think it is. If you work at it over a 10-20 year time frame, it may be very realistic.
We've definitely had varying levels of success with this. Sometimes an app has a switch or two for being on Sandstorm and a .sandstorm directory in their repo, and you can more or less "vagrant-spk pack" it and it's good to go. One of the things we're interested in with vagrant-spk updates is ensuring the flow to update old apps is a lot smoother.

Others have a fair bit more difficulty, but I think it comes down to market share: If a lot of their users are on Sandstorm, they're going to care about maintaining a Sandstorm package. If the Sandstorm project isn't as widely used, people aren't going to be that excited to do all the extra work for packaging.

Wekan has Sandstorm packages as part of the release pipeline: Every single release is submitted to the Sandstorm app market, actually. But Wekan is both considered a core app for Sandstorm, and has been available on Sandstorm since it's very early days as a project, so the group of users using Wekan on Sandstorm has always been pretty healthy.
Probably a bit more than 12h, and I have to give it to the company, the project was compensated.

This was the only time I've experienced that.
This is just not true. Biden’s campaign has complained about the way this caucus was run:

Bernie’s campaign, on the other hand, has multiple times rejected the notion that the process was rigged:

I was responding to someone who literally said the caucuses were rigged by the DNC to hurt Bernie. Read the thread please!

And for the record: Biden has never called this process rigged at all. Your link shows him rightfully criticizing the many failures including the technology failures.

Bernie's fans on reddit and beyond are certainly using the "rig" word just like Donald's fans are though!
Yes but is it happening fast enough, and at what level does the population stabilize at?
>So yes, unless you arbitrarily limit the entire globe to some level of prosperity like a novel about a disutopian world ruled by an evil anti-science theocracy,

I don't see much evil to that (limiting the "the entire globe to some level of prosperity"). Nor it has anything to do with being anti-science. You could be pro-science (pro understanding the world, physics, math, etc), and against continuous growth.

Better that models that treat the environment as externalities, or which convolute and stress the daily life for ever more trinkets to fuel the growth machine...
It's a little odd that the author almost consistently refers to men as "men" but uses the word "femlaes" consistently to refer to women. A take on the experiment is here: https://medium.com/@ericschulman/2-big-problems-with-the-tin...

I feel as though thinking of dating as a kind of economy with transactions likely isn't the best way to find someone, especially when the "training" for such "jobs" in the economy is so one-sided - men are very rarely taught how to properly look after their appearance, but it's a core part of every girl's life, 12 and up (and usually sooner than that). It does not surprise me that those with the training (through receiving positive and negative signals on their appearance) are more picky.

You'd find that a Javascript programmer asked to choose a JS framework would probably make a better decision (and of course, be much more demanding given the options) than a documentation writer or graphic designer on the same project.

Memory latency was in the 10 ns ballpark 20 years ago and still is. This is unlikely to change unless memory is migrated to an entirely different physical storage mechanism.
Right, its so funny! This is why I cant/wont/refuse to find a job of this type. I can write JS just fine. In employment I would have to glue bloated libraries (which takes me forever!) and then wait for tools to purge the unwanted garbage from the creation. The end result is slow and I feel clueless what is actually going on. Of course this also means I'm impossible to work with which only adds to the joke.

I do have a sense of humor about it.

Appsignal is very very good! I highly recommend it for Elixir projects if you only use elixir and need something setup fast. It's awesome!

I also highly recommend looking into spans and tracing (if you use multiple languages together), then you can use something like spandex with elixir and other languages to do tracing across languages. It's excellent with datadog.
I mean, Snapchat could handle the scale of this without a sweat, but you tell 1600 retirees to download it and post a picture (with no training) and provide them a support telephone number, I suspect you'll end up with less than 100 pictures and more than a thousand phone calls.
That is the tally sheet used by the precinct captain and secretary to calculate the viability number (the number of supporters needed for candidate to earn a delegate) and then the apportionment of delegates based on supporters.

I agree that it's bad to make a quick leap into conspiratorial thinking, but many Bernie supporters still have a bad taste in their mouths from 2016, when the DNC essentially conspired with the Clinton campaign to stop Bernie. That's the lens these moments are viewed with.

Testing is more than making sure the code works - you have to understand how it will be used, who will use it, how it is designed to be used by them, and even is the app even necessary. This sounds like no one gave much thought to any of this.

I imagine for something like a diploma mill (or not too far removed), where a dissertation may be required to get the degree but there is little genuine advising or research taking place.

I heard a story from an outraged faculty member at a legitimate university concerning the PhD process in the school of education at said university (not EdD, but PhD). Apparently, none or almost none of the education faculty had themselves received a PhD (most had M.S.Ed), yet they were awarding large numbers of PhDs to students each year. Furthermore, the students were apparently doing "group dissertations", which I'm still not sure of how to interpret (I trust the person who told me of this, and I don't think it was hearsay). The point of this anecdote is to suggest that even at good universities, there may be situations where students are able to get away with doing less than would typically be expected of a good PhD program.
Ironically, the DNC did not conspiratorially help Clinton against Bernie, you just quoted another bit of weaponized disinformation used by the right to divide the left.

Let me be frank: Bernie Sanders lost the 2016 nomination fair and square and there was no rigging, no conspiracy and no cheating going on.

If you think otherwise, you've been lied to by propaganda and disinformation, and you should question every source that led you to that conclusion, because those sources will be working in 2020 to do worse.

- Brazile now says she found “no evidence” the primary was rigged.

- Warren now says that though there was “some bias” within the DNC, “the overall 2016 primary process was fair.”

- “I found nothing to say they were gaming the primary system,” Brazile told me.

In fact, smart insiders believe that the "invisible primary" of democratic insiders hurt everyone BUT Bernie, because they got rid of all of the moderate competition like Biden, and gave Bernie a clear path as an outsider to being the #2 in the race, something he would have struggled to attain without the insider winnowing.

Meanwhile, I’m in a Tory safe seat with one of the most rotten MPs in the house. Every single election, my vote against them doesn’t do squat, thanks to the fit-up that is FPTP. And what about the “vast unelected government” that is our own UK civil service, which will no doubt grow even larger as we re-onshore the bureaucracy. Well, at least until the hard-right Tories slash public spending to the core, turning the UK into their low-tax haven for the super-rich—i.e. the same unelected elite who engineered this whole scam in the first place.

Sucker.
We don't live in the universe at large, we live on Earth. Until someone takes us there or shows us how to go practically, and bring stuff back practically (not with e.g. "generation ships" and not with hand-waving about what we could or could not do with "ingenuity" in 100 years), we should not use a mere wish as a permission to not respect the hard present limits.

(That's not something said against the idea of space exploration. In the contrary, not respecting those limits might be the very reason why we never reach the universe -- e.g. because we collapse before we have a chance. Same in this regard as our playing with nukes and other careless follies).
The timed exclusive offering is a great option for indie developers, and the fact that so many have taken it seems to reflect that.

My understanding is that right now Epic's submission pipeline is very manual, there's not a lot of self-servicing. So they are focused on submissions which move the needle the most for Epic: Exclusives, free titles (also available to indies), and then AAA games. I believe they've suggested the wider release of EGS for more developers should be sometime this year.

> Thus with a growing population you have ever increasing productivity, helping you offset potential negative effects of population.

I’m not sure I follow. How will we prevent over-fishing for example? Traffic? Deforestation? I think you can blunt the effects of overpopulation for humans (we probably won’t starve) but at what cost?

How will specialization affect human health and happiness? Are people who specialize in a very specific thing more happpy (or less) than people who do general tasks?

I would argue even right now we have plenty of people without meaningful work - how will increases in population improve that?
