I do respect your opinion and even think similarly although I disagree with some details (the adblock works ok for example) but that doesn't matter because I was referring to:

>Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

People may downvote your comments further because of this - and again, I'm not the one doing it but it's important to try to understand how other people might act if you care about these internet points.

I do believe that if you express your opinion without hyperbole you'd fine as your points are reasonable. It's not so much about people being cowards or that they can't argue (you can see many threads that contradict that notion).
Economics for the Future – Beyond the Superorganism
Yeah. So basically wasted space.

Seriously can you do a Visual Studio or Photoshop UI with this?

I hate the fisher price mode for the control panels on Win10 (which I guess is made using WinUI). It’s so much wasteful of space and half the options are missing. I wish there was a button to get rid of these entirely.
As answered, pgadmin is first class and supports debugging.
Lots of companies do, developing exclusively for Windows 10 makes this a non-starter though, they need to back port it to at least Windows 7.
Few options.

Find an employer who is willing to hire you and go through H1B visa lottery, which is the normal work visa.

Enroll in a US university, ideally a STEM degree, and use the OPT visa extension to get a foothold in the US.

Probably plenty more options, but I'm not an expert in US immigration.
> Why would anyone have salt ports open/exposed to public/internet?

If you're bootstrapping random servers, this is a fine approach.

The whole Salt connection methodology is 'trust on first connect' (a bit like the default SSH) with a manual stage in accepting an incoming request and the connection stream is encrypted.

If you're using salt to bootstrap your VPN servers or network appliances then it's understandable that you'd have it exposed to a more public network, and the documentation was clear that this was fine.

Not everything is a virtual machine on a cloud provider.

I'm going with Lazarus. Why limit my options to terrible runtime vs terrible build time and corporate licensing?
I use keepass as well and there is a similar conundrum. If you store a backup of the keepass file on a remote server, make sure the passwords to access this remote server aren't only in the local machine keepass.
Coconut security is not great either. Hard shell, soft internals. Not exposing the ports to the internet is just one layer.
I still think it was a huge misstep to push Windows down the tablet route. If they wanted that sort of device they should have extended the phone operating system to it. It really does feel like the worst of both worlds.
Let’s hope this makes the UI useable and less fisher pricy.
Sorta. Though in that case, more versions is more better - it gives you more precision on the up-to-date-ness of the browsers people are using. Rather than saying "80% of people use a browser from between 2016 and 2018", you can say "75% use one from late 2018".

Companies were over-leveraged and didn't have cash stockpiles. They're trying to get liquid cash so they don't have to divest of assets in a market that isn't buying or go into chapter 11.

All the same, people are willing to extend loans because they are long on the economy, recovery, and return to normalcy. The engines are starting again.

The biggest issue was that companies were over-leveraged with debt. Maybe we'll learn a lesson from this, although I suspect opportunity cost will prevent many from being more prudent.
It is much more polished compared to the regular Firefox for mobile. But it is still very slow (network, the UI is very smooth) compared to all other browsers. And I can't force myself to just a handful of extensions when other browsers support all of them. So more waiting I guess.
I really like the idea that the library doesn't try to do automatic layout, and you need to specify a nodes X/Y coords.

There are a few similar libraries where their layout algorithm is super frustarting and its implementation's so hard coupled it's really hard to change or use your own.
Maybe my example wasn't quite perfect, but I think Florence at the time could be compared to a city-state like New York City today. Florence certainly wasn't a superpower on the world stage, so I'm not sure Kissinger and the United States is really a better comparison. Machiavelli also made a militia and as far as I can tell, had no military service himself.

A better modern example might be a high-level office worker in the police department that was sent to other states. In either case, at some point, the comparison becomes stretched.

But yeah, you’re probably right in saying that my statement was wrong.
Patterns for emotional harmonization within teams
> Well, their goals are clearly different. From the FAQ linked above, it is clear they want to have some control over "the experience", which is mentioned a lot.

Even without the linked FAQ it appears to be pretty straightforward that Mozilla values control given that they're about to change an open, decentral system to a tightly controlled curated app store.

It's just that this wasn't always the case. See, for example, point 5 of their manifesto where Mozilla states: "Individuals must have the ability to shape the Internet and their own experiences on the Internet." or in point 6 where they emphasize: "decentralized participation worldwide"

> If too many users install a crappy, buggy extension ... they will get a reputation for being a buggy and slow browser ...

I have two concerns with this argument: The first is practical:

Is that a big problem? Are there numbers about large amounts of sideloaded extensions causing the reputation of firefox for android to drop? AFAIK sideloading is neither very common nor particularly rich of scandals. And even your earlier example was concerned with malicious extensions in Mozillas own extension store.

The old "Firefox for Android" enjoys a 4,4 star Play Store rating, compared to Previews also excellent 4,2 Star rating.

The second one is ethical:

Mozilla does not try to be the most successful browser at any cost. They provide valuable capacities to the Android ecosystem and drastically increase software freedom on the platform. If their goal were popularity, they would be much more successful by adopting Chrome under the hood and spending all their money on marketing.

Even your later argument features the condition "as long as Android sideloading stays intact" which itself already shows how dependent on a few central features the platforms freedom already is.

> it's not that hard to make an unrestricted fork under a different name

I don't see how trusting users to recompile an unrestricted firefox fork goes well together with not trusting users to sideload a browser extension.

> As far as I know there is nothing unique in the official branch that you would miss out on.

Right now it's soft paywall blockers that are left out. (They just change referrers and cookies for specific sites.) But potentially it's all extensions, since Mozilla the corporation can be pressured into legal compliance.

In the future this might very well interfere with peoples ability to avoid censorship.

At the time at which centralizing a system is suggested it's almost never problematic, because problems only get apparent after centralization went into effect.
I've recently read "The Machiavellians: Defenders of Freedom" [1] and I think it's definitely worth a read for anybody interested in Realpolitik and it's intellectual history. The author's own extrapolations are wonky at times, but the foundations are solid and food for thought.

You own a widget factory and I buy widgets from you. All of a sudden I don't need widgets, and I no longer need your products and stop paying for them.

You may have bought raw materials, hired people, set up a warehouse and stocked it with products anticipating my orders, but I don't understand why I should be obligated to pay for your products if I no longer need them.

All contracts generally include terms for termination of the contract. The tone of indignation is in the US, employers determine them unilaterally and employees don't have the bargaining power to do anything about it.
I've never thought of myself as being particularly "gritty" in anything; for me personally, mediocrity is good enough. I'm boring in that I get up and go to bed at reasonable times, in that I play video games for a couple hours at most, then I think I've had enough. I'm not trying to humblebrag, it's not something I do conscientiously, my main point here is that not excelling, not "doing your best" is also fine.

In agile methodologies the phrase "sustainable pace" is a recurring theme. You'll be in this life for 80 years if you're lucky, no need to burn through all that in a few years.

I've worked for nearly ten years at my previous company (consultancy), the most dedicated, hardworking people all ended up with burnout. I mean sure, I guess they earned a bit more money and stuff, but they also spent at least six months up to a year completely out of action, some went straight back into it and had to be put out of action again. And I hope they ask themselves "was it worth it".
This advice is sensible if making the assumption that the script is for a production purpose.

If you're writing a shell script for some mundane task on your personal machine, knowing the possible effects of editing a running script is useful knowledge, especially when something might behave in a non-intuitive way.
Salt is definitely immature (been using it for 5 years and the situation has actually gotten worse in that time) but Ansible is a weird thing to group.

I don’t think Apple want hobbyist apps in the store. They want apps that will create revenue and the fee creates a filter of sorts.

It would be good to be able to side load hobby apps, but that’s never happening.

The fee does also get you 2 tech support requests, which should connect you with their engineers if you need help (never needed this, can’t say how extensive it is).

Also, I did read somewhere that they waive the fee for some nonprofit/education institutions.
Also there's a weird delay when you right click a number in the calculator app and the actual pop-up box slides open.

I didn't say that you should say no to everything. I said you should develop the ability to say no to things that you don't want to do because you have more important things to spend your time on. Trying to make everyone around you happy by giving up time you want to spend on important things is a much quicker route to burn out than declining some meetings you don't care about.
The 3900 seems like massive overkill for that. You might want to look at something like the 3400G or 3200G, since who wants to buy a separate GPU for a NAS anyway.

Every successful startup has a half dozen times it's on the verge of failure. Any reasonable person would say it's over. But those with grit refuse to give in and find a way.

But I've also known founders who repeatedly fail, constantly survive crises. They lose their house, get divorced and still soldier on refusing to give up.

Both entrepreneurs have grit, but only the first one is successful. Grit is vital to winning but it's not the only thing you need.

We can't really imagine the distant future because we are very biased about the past and present. And we also can't account for developments that are entirely new.

People always imagined the future full of flying cars because cars and planes were the big thing so the combination must also be big. But nobody really imagined "social networks" 100 years ago, which are way bigger now than flying cars. They had no indication that this could possibly be a thing, at least not in their current form. We imagined/had forums and all sorts of communities but not really close to the current idea of social media.
Or, don’t get lured in by a company offering you huge compensation that you can’t actually touch (without realizing it’s a gamble).

To be fair, even the cash compensation at Airbnb was supposedly pretty high. But I’m not sure whether that’s much consolation now, after they’ve been dangling a golden carrot in front of employees for years.
Ah, that's new! had no idea PHP copied this concept from java. Rails completely avoids dependency injection.
You know what, if the php community starts to heavily type annotate and use a framework like Symfony, I start to fail to see the point of using that and not java.

Herd immunity to one strain doesn't mean herd immunity to all of them. Especially when the mutation is on the binding site.
Bear in mind that bash is obviously restarting from the character position specifically but other shells might not handle this at all, meaning that they just use buffered stdin. For such a small script the whole thing has been read into the buffer but a longer script might fault at an otherwise unobvious point.

Unless you know that it is explicitly safe (ie the whole file has been cached before it starts) then you should really not modify any running file.
That what I said. But at least, by not giving you fantasies a free reign, you can be a bit closer to the reality.

I liked the idea of "impact" prioritization of "work-items". (In fact I don't think this is something new, as I would assume many already prioritized their "backlog" based on how "important" that item was, although perhaps they didn't name that metric.)

However the author fails to answer one key question: what is "impact"?

I understand that a definitive answer can't be easily given, as it could range from increasing users / sales, taking head-on another competitor, putting out a completely new product / feature, etc.; but I would have expected at least some hints about this.

Because without even a fuzzy definition of "impact" we just rename "metric" (or "KPI", or whatever is the latest trend) as "impact".

Based on his example of Apple and the introduction of iPhone, I would assume by "impact" he means: a revolutionary "product" (or in other cases feature) that follows a road not taken by other competitors.
When I worked for a pensions company they sat me next to the CEO. He was a pleasant man most of the time, who could sometimes show a touch of arrogance towards his PA. I saw him mostly work at a slide deck all week and reading a book called Grit. Later I noticed he put a few sentences from the book into his deck. "We don't go home when we are tired, we go home when we are done" stuck in my head.

After a few years of my own struggles at being consistently productive my conclusion is grit is an emergent behaviour you cannot optimise for. You most probably want to use different words such as 'consistency' (this one works for me). I see grit as something opposite of health and balance. A short-term display of stamina that might trigger unwanted consequences in other areas of life.
I tried s3cmd according to their blog post without success. Just kept complaining that the access key was invalid. Which is a shame because `s3cmd` is much easier to use than `b2`.
Whether this happens or not depends on how the file is edited, I think. From the strace output shown in TFA, it appears the file is not opened again between executing the lines. E.g. using vim as editor, the modified file is actually written as a new file under the same filename. In Linux, the bash process will keep the original file open so that the inodes are not reclaimed by the filesystem until the file is closed. Hence the bash process won't "see" the modified script file.

I've tested this, and indeed when editing the file with vim, I can't reproduce the "dangerous" behavior. To trigger this behavior, I'd have to overwrite the script file, e.g. by

1. create script run.sh with "sleep 30" etc
2. create script run1.sh with "sleep 3" instead
3. start run.sh
4. overwrite script: cat run1.sh > run.sh
5. after the sleep, the commented line does execute

Are there editors that actually overwrite the original file, instead of creating a new file? I thought the latter is the recommended approach as it can prevent data loss e.g. if there's a crash during writing the file.

P.S. If the script in question is on a network file system, things may be different even for vim. E.g. on NFS the file handle doesn't behave fully like a regular POSIX file handle, and the NFS server might actually reopen the file between reads, thus delivering the modified contents to the bash process.
Why not? Can't you purchase the same insurance, protections and care with 4x earnings and lower taxes?
I don't know what to say, it depends on what those "ignored areas" are. We have a primary goal and prioritize for it, not getting all the way on your second and third priorities isn't exactly uncommon.

Do you "have" grit or do you display it? It's part of character we choose how much energy to put in.
No, it's one well documented command line tool called signtool. I've used it quite extensively and it has never failed me in an unexpected way.

I can't report much good about the Apple signing side. In the end we put that into a VM because different xcode versions will produce vastly different signatures for no obvious reason, and the older ones were more widely compatible.
I think predicting any kind of social behavior 50 years in advance is well beyond any scientific method at the moment.

Before those two revolutions that you mention, and even in spite of them in some areas, China has also had remarkable stability for hundreds if not thousands of years. Are these revolutions just blips? Are they a new pattern?

And for that matter, are the Maoist and current regime that different for the common people of China from the Imperial regime before them? Or are these revolutions more just changes in window-dressing and in the upper echelons, like the Mongol conquest before them?
It would be great if they just checked for updates on startup like almost every other program. I use powerpoint twice a year. I don't need auto update taking center focus on my screen, interrupting whatever I'm doing, every week that powerpoint gets a patch.
The problem with compile-time expressions are side-effects.

They are only done locally, which is sometimes not what you want. syscalls, fileio, Config checks are not done at runtime, and this is for 99% a bug.
You really need to know what you do. And each such sideffect is only done once, when you run the compiler. Not at the client.

The framing he speaks of in the beginning is the crappy framing developers, by default, apply to themselves. I remember when I was an engineer I had a similar mentality and felt like I was at the kids' table. Maybe that's why I got sick of it and became a PM.

Good PMs certainly do not think primarily in terms of backlogs and stuff to ship; developers who are not curious about impact and fetishize implementation details think this way. Nor do they judge engineers purely as a function of their ability to crank through the backlog (rather, it's their responsibility to set correct expectations with leadership and reconcile the problems to be solved with the resources available to execute against them).

Impact starts with prioritizing problems relative to the state of the world, not prioritizing solutions or features like we normally think of as on a backlog. Once you do that, the backlog comes pretty naturally.

I still think your experience is so far outside other people's interaction with these services, that i can only guess you made some kind of threat to hurt someone. Maybe you didn't perceive it that way. Asking if the us military did something potentially bad seems ordinary.
