Delphi Is Dying, Tiobe Index Insists
When I learned about the invasive grass, I felt a real loss for what California must have been. Imagine a few hundred years ago. As a native American, suppose you take a hike up what will become known as mission peak. Walking through the green and blue grasses, stands of oaks and buckeye to get to the top. From there you can clearly see the hills we know as San Francisco, the islands in the bay. Looking down below you is a verdant valley full of life, your home.
At Game Jams I would always start things off with my "2 beers, 2 coffees" method. After the theme was announced, we'd go out and discuss ideas over a few beers (just not enough to get trashed), then, come back, flesh stuff out, get our coffee and go back to work. Worked out pretty well for generating some pretty wild ideas while not making ourselves disfunctional.

Drink responsibly.
Initial Placement of a native container in vSphere
What performance?
I’ve given this a lot of thought over the years and I think html needs slightly more functionality to completely obviate JS. The hardest impact of no JS is dynamic input forms, and I remember when ajax first became a thing and forms that didn’t lose their content on an input error became commonplace. There was never a good reason for them to lose their input, of course, as that’s just lazy coding.

But when writing JS-free front ends for my web apps, the ugliest UX is trying to fill out a form that requires either filling out n identical sections (eg a fieldset for each student you want to add) or selecting an item from a drop-down w/ the option of adding to it if the desired option doesn’t exist.

Error validation is now clean and easy with modern MVC frameworks that take as input the same structure of data they used to generate the page in the first place, so it is easy to rebuild the page exactly as it was but also include an error message. There is no jarring user experience when the page is submitted and reloaded with the error shown inline. But having to navigate to a separate page to add an entity then refresh the form to fill out the data selecting the newly added entity sucks.

HTML needs some sort of functionality that would enable a) dynamic non-Turing-complete remote resource backing of form input values, b) allowing a form input to return post submission to a dom element rather than a document (E.g. imagine an input to “add location” to a drop down; submitting that field would return the new content of the select option elements to replace the existing). A JS powered example is intercooler JS.

More generally, a content response type that says “patch the existing DOM with the following” would preserve pretty much all the good parts of Web 2.0 without the crap that came with it; keeping in mind that submissions could only happen when a user explicitly requested them.
The body and mind need to slow down to free up time slices for cleaning up the waste. Humans "in wild" are mostly daytime creatures, that's when they're supposed to actively look for food, deal with danger, maybe compete for mates, handle the offsprings. So not much safety to slow down in daytime.

On the other hand, nighttime affords this naturally, though modern society arguably blurrs the utility and safety aspect of nighttime.

Counterexample is some marine mammals, like dolphins and seals, which can shutdown half of their brain for sleep, while the other one is active for safety reasons.

Spinning it in a way that doing it becomes a threat to business continuity?

If they’re deducted $0.15 from income, paid to you, on spot each time they query that information, or if it adds 0.015% to probability of their stock crashing in that quarter quantifiably, then I’d expect it’ll be gone forever before any of their C-class stands up for some coffee next time. The reality is roughly reverse of that.
> I personally would advise against using DNS for service discovery, it wasn't designed for that.

It was designed for that but the SRV record requires protocols and their clients to explicitly support it. You can argue that this an unreasonable design choice but load balancers like HAproxy do support SRV records.
This is a bit difficult in Germany:

First of all, some cities like Berlin (which might be the worst offender here) are ridiculous in terms of how cash-dependent they are. There are whole areas (e.g. Kreuzberg) where you can't find a restaurant that accepts (debit or credit) card payment, even if you eat for 20+€. So, going out for lunch can deplete your cash quite rapidly.

Secondly, private banking is a huge cost centre for banks right now. This means that banks institute a lot of restrictions on when and where you can get cash. Many common banks (e.g. Sparkassen, Volksbanken) only allow you to withdraw money without charge from very specific ATMs, so you have to know where those are; if you withdraw from another ATM, you might have to pay a ridiculous amount of money (e.g. 5€), which is why you'd only use it for an emergency. Some other banks allow you to withdraw from any ATM without charge, but they have been starting to add more and more restrictions, e.g. you can only withdraw money 5x a month or something like that.
I ran into similar problems with my custom built FreeNAS too. It's still a great setup, but more work than I would like. When my server eventually dies, I'll probably replace it with one of the official FreeNAS Minis.

I can see the problem, but from the other side if you don’t really tell them that someone complained it can seem like you’re just unilaterally taking action. You’re just asking for “well, what does so-and-so think? Surely you’re just overreacting, they seemed fine to me…”

True. It's also true a lot of people hate solo programming, and do not want a non pair programming job.

My other point is that pair programming is a learned skill. If you just put two unprepared programmers by a computer, you'll most likely end up with two annoyed programmers, and not great code.

Depends on the type, dealing drugs is like any other sales job, except way higher risk. Distributing cocaine is as complex as any other distribution job but you're not allowed to use established transportation methods and people might shoot at you. You've got to be a real self starter and creative thinker if you want to be good at it.

Then there's the contract negotiation where nothing is legally enforceable and personnel management where your employees could become addicted to stealing from you. It sounds way harder than my job.
I agree. I ended up turning all notifications off except for the ones that I do want to be interrupted for (like texts from my SO or Uber) and my time spent on the phone decreased significantly.

Developers learn quickly that the only way to get a decent salary and/or job security is to cram as many buzzwords into their resume. Companies don't like to invest in training, so the only other way to get those buzzwords is to force the use of whatever cool tech into a project, whether it's appropriate or not.

And no, experience in cool buzzword tech does not count if it's a side project or open source contribution - as much as we would wish that to be the case.

We can blame developers, but they are just adapting, as humans always do, to their environment. Sometimes it is just bored devs chasing the next fad, but there is plenty of blame to be laid at the feet of modern tech companies.
I was about to ask if intermittent fasting would have the same effects as I get the impression that its a healthier way of getting into ketosis.

(When I look, I don't see negative effects associated with IF, and I do with keto diets. The research changes a lot and the conclusions don't seem definitive, but I thought someone on here might have an educated opinion on the matter).
Do they need to be open for more hours? What's the point of being open during hours that nobody but unemployed and retired people can use your business? Instead open at 3pm and close at 11pm. I'd love 6am-9am & 5pm - 11pm but that's probably not practical.
> In the UK embossed numbers on cards are gone now

Nope.

The only ones I know of which do not use embossed numbers are Starling Bank, and (for premier customers) RBS and NatWest. All bar one of my cards is embossed.

Supposedly as of January last year: "Lloyds, Barclays, Nationwide, HSBC and Santander all say they currently have no plans to introduce such cards."

So which ones are you thinking of where the embossed numbers have gone?
I really dislike these maps that use circles. The circles overlap, are hard to reason about spatially and the size seems to be an arbitrary scale without meaning.

Generating bizzare banking activity is one of the risks, but, again, only where what you're doing is illegal. Also, you don't have to trade in attention attracting sums.

You don't have to trust the person you're trading with, because the platform uses an escrow system (multi-signature BTC addresses), account age signing (an old account is unlikely to have been stolen) and has mediation. That leaves negligible risk, of which you're aware.

> delegating trust from a central authority to a disparate set of individuals. I'm not convinced that's a good thing

Bisq provides very similar decentralization and privacy guarantees as Bitcoin (which is the point, because a system is as decentralized/private as its weakest link), so I'll delegate answering this to the myriad of articles about Bitcoin's trustworthiness.

> You mean some sort of digital cash?

Yes, exactly.

> Perhaps settled on a publicly accessible ledger with decentralized infrastructure not relying on any single party?

The current project is backed by the riksbank (Sweden's central bank). I think for cryptocurrency to be viable as a proper replacement for cash this is how it should work. The central bank guarantees the value of the digital currency by setting it to be the same as the existing cash.

I'm not sure exactly how the ledger would be maintained in a way that both lets me go to a shop and buy something without the central bank knowing who owns the token, while at the same time offering no less visibility than the current system does in terms of larger scale transactions (e.g. if I go into a bank with a large amount of cash to deposit I'll get questions regarding money laundry etc).

This post is trying to give details on "if I've decided that taking someone aside for a warning is the right next step, how do I do it?"

There are cases where a warning would be a bad first step: perhaps you've only heard a report from one person, or it's not clear what happened, or you think there may be a misunderstanding. Then an opening more like "I saw some of what happened back there, can you help me figure out what was going on?" could be good, with more of a "let's find out" than a "let's change behavior" approach.

The cases that prompted me to write this post, however, were ones where a dancer had been doing a minorly harmful thing for a long time. It was very clear that they were doing the thing, and we had dozens of people who had seen them do it, including several organizers.
Hardware support can be tricky and you need to make sure your mobo supports FreeBSD. The community has the angry sys admin mentality but they generally just want to help you build a robust system. Gotta do it their way. You can build your own which is what I did. i3/Super micro mobo/ECC Memory/6 WD red drives.

> The underlying assumption is actually, For any two programmers, no matter how good he or she is, if we get them to sit together, the value of their work will be greater than if they sit apart.

Yes, an ASSUMPTION. Not proven. Not studied. An assumption.

> There's an implicit assumption there that all bugs take the same amount of time to fix.

No there isn't.

> Now, I'm about to make a crucial assumption: that Alice and Bob's "difficult tasks" are disjoint, such that what's difficult for Alice is not necessarily difficult for Bob and vice-versa.

... Followed by some anecdata to validate the assumption, followed by "calculations" using hand-wavey numbers.

The rest of the article is similarly filled with hand waving, assumptions, strawmen, and outright fabrications. If you have a valid point, use valid reasoning to argue it.

You need something like Multi-account Containers in Firefox to fully isolate Facebook from anything else. Basically if you are signed into Facebook in the browser, they can track you across any sites that use their Like buttons, comments or just tracking pixels. Some of it is blocked by Privacy Badger, FF built-in tracking protection and the like, but not all. By using a container to isolate Facebook's session from other tabs, you can prevent that.

Societies are imperfect and have a huge inertia, they need grey areas for compensating for those imperfections.

Cash is a way into those grey areas.

So that you can not have a phone, or be a hobo, be off the grid, go to a gay bar without leaving a trace, hold a controversial artistic/polical/religious event, let a beaten spouse organize an escape, mess around as a kid without your parents always knowing everything, try a product the state doesn't approve of and so on.

Well that scenario is only the tip of the iceberg, negative rates are effectively an on demand tax and one you may not have recourse against. I am sure some very well off could employ money shifting processes to keep their money out of the category and it may become a service that banks offer "for a fee" to anyone. Which in turn would end up having the government just change the regulations preventing it or charging for it.

the real threat is the trail created which no government is going to allow you to vacate. just the possibility of a prior acquaintance or business transaction running afoul of the can give some the means to penalize you for past legal deeds in some countries. let alone put you under the scope for having performed now illegal activities, after all why would the want to suspect you aren't predisposed to do it again?

finally it really can be used to put a damper on people just leaving high tax areas because they can just electronically debit you for the act.
I read about the botched update and it was the first thing that came to mind. Hopefully FreeNAS will have less of a transition than TrueNAS.
The fiefdoms I'm thinking of were created naturally inside the organisation, not acquired. Somebody's power grows, a department with ten people becomes a business unit with a thousand people due to its success, other managers resent that, and senior management mistakes this as an opportunity for "internal competition" rather than a dysfunction which needs to be crushed, if necessary by terminating those who promote it.

Lots of things are hard about M&A but it's made easier if people remember from the outset that their business exists in the world. You don't have and can't build a business which functions independently from the world, stop trying. On the technology side that means things like using FQDNs in URLs (https://webinar.mycorp.example/2020-New-Products not https://webinar/2020-New-Products)
I'm all for privacy-respecting payment methods, and I'm familiar with the paradox of thrift, but I'm not at all convinced that negative interest rates are a net social benefit. The experience of the past 10+ years has been that ultra-loose monetary policy is far more about bidding up the prices of existing assets than encouraging productive investment. So it disproportionately benefits the old and rich, who own assets, at the expense of the young and poor, who hope to acquire them.

I also don't see that there's much difference between nominal negative rates on the one hand and ZIRP plus inflation on the other, which is what pretty much all the big central banks are doing already and which cash doesn't protect against at all. They both punish saving at a time when the ratio of retired to working people is increasing and the latter's ability to support the former is looking shaky.

There's a separate argument to be had about financial repression [1], but it's a bit more contentious and I don't think you need to accept the badness of that to be against negative interest rates.

Yeah, with the benefit of hindsight, it's undoubtably true that the Hubei provincial government fucked up, nobody is denying that. But every other provincial government in China was facing the same situation other national governments were facing, they had a stream of Hubei residents filtering through their communities, causing community spread and lighting a ticking time bomb.

But every one of the provincial governments got their situation under control with the political backing of the central government while nations outside of China clearly failed to get it under control because they didn't have the will to react so harshly.

This is strong evidence that any nation that chooses to clamp down as hard as the Chinese can get it under control with something approaching a 100% probability. Whether it's possible lighter weight mechanisms can still get it under control is an open question but we at least have the upper limit of how much you need to shut down your country to kill COVID 19.

Nas4Free user here. Home server, nothing fancy but worked perfectly for a few years on a Atom CPU based board with 4GB RAM which could not be expanded further and is listed as minimum required for ZFS.
Would this hardware run FreeNAS/TrueNAS or its differences and additional features would require beefier iron? Current configuration is two ZFS RAID 1 pairs plus one additional disk for quick buffering. System currently boots from a USB dongle; the board very conveniently does have a USB receptacle directly soldered, so it doesn't expose the flash key to the outside. No problems in about 4 years, but some day probably this year I'll have to get new disks either due to aging or available space, then get the ball rolling and manually upgrade to XimaNAS (automatic update from this NAS4Free version is risky), or moving to FreeNAS/TrueNAS, or jumping ship completely and get one Helios64 box plus OMV since BSD support on ARM isn't there yet. Any comments?

ps. I'm more of a Linux guy, my BSD knowledge is limited to this NAS4Free installation and a pfSense firewall I run ages ago on PCEngines embedded boards which worked like charm as well.
