> set a boundary where you don't talk about politics

Underrated piece of advice right there. I see a doctor who I explained this problem to (I have diametrically opposed views from my parents, and feel compelled to un-brainwash them, in spite of the obvious fact that it never works...)

She is not a psychologist or psychiatrist, or GP, for that matter, just someone who sees a lot of people, and her advice for me was "sometimes it's better if you just don't talk about certain things with certain people."

My parents have some stupid-ass opinions, and I'll be the first to tell you! But they worked in health care for 30 years and they respect doctors, so when I told them "it was my doctor's advice that we just don't talk about this stuff anymore" for the third or fourth time, (it took at least that many times for me to be sure they heard it) each time before and after that, we just had better feelings everyone.

I'm not going to say I don't get shitpost emails from my Dad anymore but I try to listen to my doctors, and reinforce the advice, and especially ignoring the messaging that triggers me, rather than repeating myself, and it works! I feel like we have a healthy relationship, and they are not afraid to share real meaningful important advice when I actually may need it. You can be clear about your views without rubbing anyone's noses in it, and you may catch more flies with honey (in spite of what I've often heard to the contrary).
No, because traders don’t price the market as a whole, they price individual stocks.

Some stocks will never recover, and some of that recovery will be companies that don’t exist yet.

While these things might offset to create a market recovery, there’s no way to price in the expected cash flow for a company that doesn’t exist.
Sorry I’m not sure I understand the point you are making.

I liked the snarky and opinionated comments about random stuff.

I've done this once or twice for older games too, but nothing that involved. One game would crash, I think it was powerslide, whenever I finished a certain map. From the assembly it looked like it tried to call a method on an object that was null, and instead of trying to properly fix this or at least adding a null check, I just removed that call entirely. I expected that this would break something in a funny way, but at least I'd then know what that object/call was for. But the game just seemed to work flawlessly, nothing seemed to be missing or broken. One of the few memorable times where something was actually easier than thought.

I also don't cuss / use profane language. However, I have found a few idioms that just don't quite translate. For example, my co-workers laugh at me for saying "for kicks and giggles" instead of "s$!#s and giggles".

I've also seen people in leadership positions use a lot of foul language and it can really bring down the professionalism. As someone that doesn't use that language I find that avoid the trap of letting something slip in the wrong situation.
Personally I have light color themes for everything, this allows me use f.lux darkroom at night which I find much gentler on my eyes.
As a friend puts it (and in the most extreme cases) "genocide is not an opinion."

As I understand it, the most common reason to cut your parents out of your life for "political differences" is when those "differences" are beliefs of theirs that lead to them considering categories of people that you are or care about to be less-than. That crosses a line from "politics" to "bigotry".

The next major chunk I'm aware of it is correlative rather than causative; certain political stances (ex: conspiratorial bent) seem to correlate with toxic relationships.

So yes, AFAIK, it's better to have a healthy relationship with your parents. But, if they don't want to have a healthy relationship with you - which AFAIK can happen due to "political differences" - gonna be hard to make that happen.

So yes, AFAIK, the culture that brought deplatforming and cancelling also brought cutting out your parents... as a subset of "cutting toxic people out of your life".

Totes agree with the rest of your post tho.

Guillotines might have worked well in the past, but with modern weapons and technology, you can use a much smaller portion of the population to suppress a much larger portion of the population.

You can pay 10% of the population well enough that they support the top 0.01%, and the top 10% can pay the next 20% to 30% well enough or provide a sufficient probability to move up (or illusion) that they are incentivized to help suppress the remaining 60%.
That was 12 years ago, and sadly the Google link to searching for the word now links to countless articles about the phenomenon, instead of actual examples (I gave up after the 5th page.)

That model isn't consistent with data on the ground though. Many more states are showing clear and obvious growth over the past 7-10 days (which is about the best fidelity that measurement can achieve anyway). Check out the link below for my personal list of "worry states". A few might have ticked down in the past 2-3 days, but the overall trend of all of these states is upward and there's no reliable evidence of a genuine halt in growth.

I'd be worried if my wife expected me to call more frequently than that because it would imply our relationship wasn't as solid as I thought it was. Also British.

To me a strong relationship is one that lasts across time and physical distance without constant attention. Obviously within limits. But if my wife expected me to call her everyday, or vice versa, I could only assume that there was an insecurity/neediness that hadn't been appropriately handled.
Well, while Mother’s Day is extremely commercialized now, that wasn’t the intention behind its creation. From the Wikipedia article:

“The modern Mother's Day began in the United States, at the initiative of Anna Jarvis in the early 20th century. The U.S.-derived modern version of Mother's Day has been criticized for having become too commercialized. Founder Jarvis herself regretted this commercialism and expressed views on how that was never her intention.

Although Jarvis was successful in founding Mother's Day, she became resentful of the commercialization of the holiday. By the early 1920s, Hallmark Cards and other companies had started selling Mother's Day cards. Jarvis believed that the companies had misinterpreted and exploited the idea of Mother's Day and that the emphasis of the holiday was on sentiment, not profit. As a result, she organized boycotts of Mother's Day, and threatened to issue lawsuits against the companies involved. Jarvis argued that people should appreciate and honor their mothers through handwritten letters expressing their love and gratitude, instead of buying gifts and pre-made cards.”

You can simply ignore the modern version of Mother’s Day and do something more aligned with the original intention.
To OP:

That does not make a compelling argument that the stock market rally will continue.

Consumer spending is 70% of the U.S. economy. And we have an unemployment rate of over 15% on its way to 20%, the worst in 80+ years. We are seeing many areas of consumer spending rapidly decline if not stop altogether. Delinquencies in mortgages, car loans and credit are expected to skyrocket.

Also, the wealthy have a lower marginal propensity to consume. Giving $1200 to a worked making $40,000/year almost guarantees every dollar will be recycled into the economy. Give the same stimulus to a millionaire and you have savings or asset inflation.
Your link [1] says 37 million Americans, which is 11%, not 37%. (Still a shocking #!)

No but often you set it to fsync every second and not at every write, if you are really concerned with performances in certain kind of applications. Or in practical terms, check the synchronous_commit config option of PostgreSQL. Basically sometimes you have fsync enabled because you don't want to corrupt the log, but the writes will not wait for the WAL, so the last transactions can get lost on crash.

> First, a lot of companies don't pay out dividends or buy back stock these days, so as time passes, removing their stock price from the price at IPO, their stock price becomes based on perception--not even perception of the reality of the company's value, but perception of the stock's value, which is increasingly just speculation.

This is a common trope to hear, but it's just so fundamentally untrue.

At the end of the day, the long-term fundamental value is absolutely tied to dividends/buybacks. There is zero divorcing from that reality.

Yes, in the short term prices fluctuate above and below that level based on supply and demand for shares and other trading strategies. But the farther away any trader gets from fundamentals -- e.g. buying something they already think is overvalued because they think it will continue to climb -- the statistically riskier it is and the more likely they'll lose money.

So there is a strong force pushing the value of a stock to exactly the NPV of its future profits.

Going without regular dividends or buybacks is not just fine and perfectly normal for growth stocks, but expected because it's in shareholders' best interests. You don't need dividends to be able to judge revenue, costs, and profit. Everybody knows that when the companies cease to continue growing and reach a "steady state", the dividends/buybacks spout will be turned on. Not out of the company's good will, but because shareholders will demand it.
That is obviously true, but that poses another question: Since there is no "real" value for the dollar to compare to (same for all other currencies), what if all countries had printed money at the same rate and around the same timeframe? Comparatively, it would look like nothing changed, but in my opinion, the market would want to price that in as some sort of "inflation" (no idea if this really is inflation at that point), since compared to 2019 the intrinsic value of companies probably has not changed too much.

This is as very wonky explanation and I am aware that it likely has several errors along the way, so please tell me what I am not considering, I am genuinely interested.
They're partially deceptive at best. The economy wasn't exactly flying even before the virus. Consumer debt (nearly $14tn - around 2/3 of GDP) was stifling consumer demand. Corporate debt was around $10tn - half of GDP.

When there's a major shock a lot of that debt will be written off, either be negotiation or by bankruptcy. So unless the Fed plans on making good on all of those debts there's going to be a big smoking hole where those obligations used to be, with corresponding losses to creditors.

The Fed has no interest in Main St, and is perfectly happy to hand out free money to Wall St to keep the party going. But if the economy isn't operating normally, that money is going to turn into worthless paper because it can't be spent on the usual things the 1% spend money on.

When that happens you get real inflation, because the face value of money becomes disconnected from real spending power.

Even if everyone went back to work tomorrow, people will keep getting ill and dying and business won't be back to normal for at least six months - possibly twelve. If workers don't get generous government hand-outs to keep demand ticking over in the real economy, there are going to be mass bankruptcies, and the debt collapse cycle will have started.

Coming from Bitbucket, Gitlab (self-hosted) felt blazing fast. But to be fair, any single tool feels snappy when stacked against an Atlassian product.
Familiarity mainly. We have a dual Jenkins setup (one internal one at our clients site) so we have a metric ton of Jenkins stuff from years and years of work. I can also write Jenkins pipelines in my sleep from doing it so often and have probably read about GitLab’s yaml format for a few hours. Maybe one day we think about getting rid of Jenkins but I am quite fond of it.
Also, note the preadv2 man page which has a flags field with one flag defined as:

-------------------------------

RWF_NOWAIT (since Linux 4.14)
Do not wait for data which is not immediately available. If this flag is specified, the preadv2() system call will return instantly if it would have to read data from the backing storage or wait for a lock. If some data was successfully read, it will return the number of bytes read.

-------------------------------

This implies that "standard" pread/preadv/preadv2 without that flag (which is only available for preadv2) will block waiting for all bytes (or short return on EOF) and you need to set a flag to get the non-blocking behavior you're describing here. Otherwise the flag would be the inverse - RWF_WAIT, implying the standard behavior is the non-blocking one, not the blocking one.

The blocking behavior is what we were expecting (and previously got) out of io_uring, so it was an unpleasant surprise to see the behavior change visible to user-space in later kernels.
Some scare quotes might do the title some good, too.

Oh god. Please keep 'em coming. These are all great feedback.

To be honest we, two cofounders, didn't spend days to decide on the words. We both are not native speakers. Google'd some keywords, took a look at dictionary websites and decided quotation was fine. We will do further research on that. Would "offer" work in this context?

We are decided on targeting freelancers and businesses that sell services, like software or advertisement agencies.

The UI on Github absolutely does change, about once a year they've done some small or even large changes to how Github looks and behaves. For me personally, I spend quite a bit of time looking for the right tab I want to navigate to and while I'm not lost, it takes along time to scan the UI and find what I'm looking for. I've preferd Gitlab's interface for the last few years over github simply because how much faster I can find everything.
If anything upgrade from Jenkins to a proper workflow manager, such as Apache Airflow!

Edit: I realize it might be more suitable for data pipelines than continuous integration.
You can get pretty close to emulating Unity's interface with Plasma, especially if you use Latte-dock. But there are still certain things that can't be done; the biggest to me is having the menu bar (File, Edit, etc.) in the title bar of all the windows (a global menu at the top works though). You can get a button that then gives you those options, which is close but an extra click.

I truly am not understanding how anything you write makes me wrong. If we value a life at a certain amount, it seems we can value it out at per year, per hour.

These are all just estimates.

But if your life is worth x per year, and you x * z number of waking hours, and you trade some of those waking hours for cash ...

Where am I wrong?

Edit: I’m not even sure why we are pruning non working years from the calculation.
> if a company is expected to be operational, profitable and growing in year 3-year 10, those profits are built into the share price.

Certain buyers may be basing their decisions on expected profits in 3-10 years, but this certainly isn’t the only reason that somebody may choose to buy a stock. Also, in that situation they wouldn’t be pricing in the profits that they expect to be made, they would be pricing in what they think the actual probability of that happening is (which would include some probability of those expectations not being met). If the future earning potential of a company is already fully priced in, then you’d have little reason to buy the stock, because it wouldn’t have any room to increase in value.
