It's 1,285 convictions now. And that's just the ones which were caught.

> 1,000 instances is significant

Now that's just silly. You are conflating "1285 convictions" with "number of votes" which is wrong. 1 person can manipulate thousands of votes - and they have. Read the convictions. Entire elections have been overturned. It takes 270 to win.

I also stated the "there hadn’t been any prosecutions for double voting or any non-citizen voting in years" is simply 100% false but you didn't reply.

You can see all the way till 2019, there's been several convictions of double voting:

The article is literally saying one thing while the data says exact opposite and yet you are trusting the article instead of the raw data. I don't know what else to tell you.
But you _are_ passing `this` around with OO code too. It just ends up being before the dot (or arrow), instead of being an argument. All you did is loose some flexibility.

OO couples behavior with state. Sometimes that's exactly what you want (e.g. containers). And sometimes you just need data, functions and namespaces and all 3 are available in C++ outside classes.
Soundforge on a 486 100Mhz was already pretty fast at editing a single track of audio. It's amazing how much heavy frameworks have warped our perception of normal interactivity.

> Offshoring existed before remote work was popularized. For the many of "your jobs" up to be "taken" that shift has already occurred.

This is different though, because those companies weren't 'remote' so offshoring is not viable without that prerequiste.

But if company goes 'remote' much more work becomes outsourcing worthy.
DDG is surprisingly good, but still not good enough. I have my desktop browser using it, but still haven't on mobile.

When searching for technical queries Google tends to give much more useful answers - useful is the key word here. To give an example from yesterday, the query 'elixir zlib'.

In DDG I get links to C files in Linux kernels on a server called elixir. I get a useful answer 5 results down (which is fine, it's there). In Google, the first result I get is the erlang zlib documentation (which is what you actually use in elixir).

Things like error messages, queries involving the name of a programming language etc. are often just not as good in DDG.

Can we please stop this meme? Every thread about DDG invariably seems to bring up this (false) statement.
The point that your argument misses is that it was fighting the invariably resolved the issues and paved the way for the exiled governments and people to return.

> a lot of high-quality information isn't paid

Maybe I was biased towards paid content because I did an enterprise search project on scientific articles before.

> users could plug in sources that are particularly useful for them

That could work if you have a local copy of the data which can be indexed. E-Book DRM might be a problem.

> But maybe the userbase of people who need high quality, non-subscription info is too small to get this started.

That was my impression. I almost always got puzzled looks when I described the idea. And most of those people were “knowledge workers”. But if you are a specialist, you already know where to look for the information you need in your area of expertise.
Startup Metrics for Pirates: Aarrr – Dave McClure
I've worked for Swiss companies from the west coast of North America (9 hours difference). It's not perfect, but I started early and they kept an eye on slack until late. Most of the time we communicated in the couple hours of overlap we had.

It works because as a developer it's a plus to have multiple hours of good focus time with no meetings or interruptions. Plus we can cover each other for pager duty so nobody has to normally wake in the middle of the night.

I think remote work greatly increases the circle of people you're competing with. I don't recommend trying to be remote only unless you're world class - because the world is technically your competition.

That said there are lots of reasons most people in Vietnam or India are not actually in competition with me. Being able to communicate fluently in English and divine requirements from non technical people who don't know what they want is still the most important part of the job. You can be the best programmer in the world, but if you can't do that, you'll just build the wrong things beautifully and ahead of time.

Then there is the trust issue. People need to know they can trust you with their code, customers, and business. That's a challenge if they've never met you in person. It's a bigger challenge if you live in the developing world - maybe that shouldn't be true, but it is. I had more trouble getting jobs when I lived in Panama.

Please forgive me for being self-centered. I DO think AudioMass is great. I'm running it locally and I even contributed by posting a legit issue in github. But here's the self-centered part: The other day I posted a "Show HN" for something web audio related that I wrote and got crickets so I'd like to try again: https://ctrager.github.io/music_tools. Especially check out "Pitch Detector". All three tools are standalone single HTML files that don't need a server.
I don't see it (other than the color scheme). It doesn't come with a file manager or typeahead for the command interface. I've already hit a showstopping bug just trying to save a file. It's been a while since I was actively using Sublime but it doesn't feel like it at all.

It looks promising though. I would love for it to become feature-rich and replace the mess that is vim.
By the way, every terminal application you're used to (Terminal.app on macOS, iTerm, the Windows Terminal, Ubuntu's Terminal application) is a terminal emulator. I've tried WSL1 and 2 and couldn't get past the typing latency, awful font rendering, incredibly slow downloads, apt/dpkg bugs, and not syncing with the actual filesystem like Linux/macOS do. For example, I like to copy my dotfiles to ~/Dropbox/dotfiles. This isn't possible on Windows, and if you force it to do so it will corrupt the files.
It comes down to intent. If the intent of moderation is "taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected", section 230 provides immunity. "Otherwise objectionable" is very, very broad.

Anyone can already take your job.

Since there is a growing number of businesses that are accepting remote work, that means that more potential work is available to remote workers.

Seems like people are trying to justify their preference for working in an office. Not to diss those people, but remote workers know the kind of position they are in if more people work remotely.

Personally, I'd rather live in a world where I'm not so dependent on one particular employer, and where I can change jobs without having to worry about moving away from friends and family. Who cares if someone can "take my job"? Businesses already outsource to other parts of the world where labor is cheap, and they get what they pay for most of the time.
A great piece of advice I heard I think from @patio11 is that you should really just host your own resume rather than letting a GitHub/LinkedIn/etc profile be your primary resume.

Why? Because context is powerful. When people are viewing your resume, you want 100% of their focus on you, and you want to present yourself in exactly the way that's best for you.

You don't want to present yourself within the context of another org's branding, site layout, etc, which by definition won't be optimised for you, and also syphons off some of that attention you want focused on you (as the most obvious example, say if the top bar has unread notifications).

The irony is with Github, hosting an HTML resume 'on' Github is possible and really easy already via GH pages. It's what I do :-) https://davnicwil.com/cv/
I don't think that 'Tennessee' is the correct spelling for Shenzhen. The low cost of living states in the US are still expensive compared to low cost of living countries. There is engineering talent around the world, and I don't see how the rural parts of the US are going to compete with more urban populations in other well educated parts of the world.
Remote Work Means Anyone Can Give You A Job
First amendment claims with respect to those things you state are loved by liberals are almost certainly to stop government censorship. That is after all what the First Amendment is about.

There is no applicability of the First Amendment with respect to what a private company may censor. This is why Trump may talk about "freedom" but his executive order will not be grounded on any First Amendment claim.

Rather, Trump will essentially force the interpretation that CDA 230 should only apply to "politically neutral" actors. The result will be that social media companies will not be able to "censor" content that might be political. Again, not because of the Bill of Rights but because the liability shield provided by CDA 230.

The practical result will be that all content that is not clearly illegal (and potentially content that is) will be fair game and unable to be censored as any censorship will risk a claim against political neutrality and jeopardize CDA 230 protection.
With a $85 price tag I think it's moving away from its original premise of bringing cheap computing to the masses and especially students and tinkerers.

Challenges in Securing Distributed Marketplace in Trustless Environment
As author of an open source tool that was already steatlh-forked twice without any contact whatsoever by VC-backed startups - including clearly copying text from my website/FAQ - without giving any sort of credit on the idea/implementation they used for 80% of their product but on the contrary claiming how revolutionary their products are and best idea since sliced bread, and even not satisfying the basic MIT license terms, I can completely understand your frustration.

At least they were nice enough to pay you a trip to Seattle and (briefly) mentioned your project in the release announcement, I didn't even get a "thank you".

As a result of this I re-licensed my code from MIT to OSL-3 and reduced my involvement in this project a lot so I focus on the things that actually matter in life: my wellbeing and spending the time with my family.
>A not-insignificant portion of his base supports him because of exactly the sort of attitude you display in your post: arrogant, smug, baseless condescension. Did you learn nothing from the whole "basket of deplorables" incident?

Supporting Trump because the mean lady made an insulting (but not untrue) comment about his base one time doesn't make them not morons - at best, it just makes them morons with a persecution complex who don't care that their movement has been brigaded by racists and xenophobes.
The idea is that they will accept significantly lower pay and do the job well enough to get by.

Then again, what's wrong with that? Theoretically it just levels the playing field.

The real inequality is higher up the food chain anyway...
The only difference that pops out at me is corn syrup vs. sugar. However, heat plus the acid in the tomatoes and vinegar is going to cleave sucrose into fructose and glucose anyway, so you are getting the same thing, ± a few percent fructose.

Tomato vs. tomato concentrate could be a real difference or a differences in labelling regulations. Ketchup is cooked, so I'm not sure how much it matters that some water was removed before or after things were mixed together.

The rest are just differences in terminology. Spirit vs. distilled vinegar are US/UK terms for the same thing. "Natural Flavoring" is probably equivalent to "Spice and Herb Extracts." I'm not sure if there's onion powder in the UK version, but it might count as a "spice" (it's in the spice section at the store, after all).

We're in what I'll call the third wave of offshoring now. There are pockets of offshore developers who are actually interchangeable with US-based teams; but the cost difference is more like 25-50% less than the previous waves that were promising 90% cost savings.

My last company ended up outsourcing from Mexico, Colombia, Uruguay and Argentina with good results. We often didn't tell clients they were offshore and billed US rates for them and pocketed the difference. Over the course of about 5 years we had let go our US-based teams because they were just too difficult to hire and retain for the marginal increase in quality.

I remember when GitHub used to have private messaging. I liked that feature. It was an easy and unified way to get in touch with other coders on there and felt less intrusive than sending them e-mails out of the blue (or opening issues for the sake of communication, as some do).
This looks awesome. I love the visual style, and the fact that you use ephemeral rooms instead of sign-up.
> Asynchronous communication across timezones has not been solved, and I struggle to see how it would be.

By focusing on excellent written communication.

Great written comms is hard, and (like coding) requires lots of deliberate practice and training.

Most people and companies gloss over this, but it makes a world of difference if you're operating across time zones.

Great internal writing is what separate the great companies from the average.
Composable maybe, but testable, not necessarily.

If the function doesn't read or modify a global state, it can be much easier to test in isolation than a class, which might e.g. throw an exception in the constructor causing your test to fail before you even get to run your method.

If it does touch a global state, it's probably instead better as part of a class.

Reconciling those differences is part of the porting process. I do agree that it's a "pipe dream" to expect every single SWF out there will be ported, but it is definitely the right way to do it if you're trying to save a SWF.

Relying on old binaries of Adobe Flash Player is probably not a good idea from a legal perspective. I'm not a lawyer, and I haven't read the EULA, but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't allow that type of redistribution.

Even if JS+HTML5 dies for some reason in the future, it's not a closed-source proprietary platform like Flash was, so preserving stuff will be much easier.

> I take a prescribed ketamine lozenge every day. I don't experience any psychedelic effects and I'm fine with that.

Many of the researchers and clinics are gravitating toward ketamine regimens that avoid hallucinations entirely, like your current treatment regimen.

Ketamine has some inherent anti-depressant effects that don't depend on hallucinating. Unfortunately, many psychedelic proponents have tried to push the narrative in the opposite direction to emphasize the trip.

It's unrealistic to expect depressed people to routinely go on psychedelic trips to keep their depression at bay. It's also unrealistic to expect people to trip frequently and not have part of the population start to accumulate weird, irrational ideas from their trips.

A medicine that captures the anti-depressant effects without causing a psychedelic trip or really any cognitive distortions at all would be far better than expecting people to trip regularly. I don't understand the aversion to pharmaceutical companies pushing the research in this direction.

Right, but the ACLU and EFF are part of that story; funding SIGs that have the human expertise to interface to politicians efficiently is one of the mechanisms corporations "buy votes." Not all corporate lobbying is by people with the corporation's name in their title; corporations outsource by supporting SIGs aligned with them.

The EFF has received millions in funding from both Google as a corporate entity and one of Google's co-founders as direct donation.

This is one of the reasons campaign finance reform is such a wicked problem; if the real goal is to diminish the corporate voice relative to the voice of the common citizen, one has to account for the fact that money can buy basically every mechanism by which voices are amplified. It can even, subtly applied, buy the opinion of the common citizen.

> This absolutely has to be done by a trained professional with personal experience with the substance and who has assisted with other guided sessions. It's not going to be a prescription that a doctor can throw at the patient and then check up on in a few weeks time.

That's pretty much how every treatment, for almost anything, should be.

Unfortunately, in most professional services (not just doctors), the people providing the service just have a few "recipes" on how to solve certain types of problems and then they just prescribe that. If your problem doesn't fall into any of their predefined categories, then good luck.

The typical interaction is: you have an initial session/interview where you describe your issue, then they immediately diagnose you (unless they require some additional info - documents/exams), and finally they provide their predefined solution. They never observe you in your daily routine to see what's actually going on, they don't study you to provide a personalized solution.

It's as if programmers would never debug a program, only get told by someone what the issue is and then they provide some library/api/piece of code that deals with what appears to be the issue from the outside.
Sure, but again, there is nothing modern about this. And certainly not, hyper modern.

Besides, if you want to develop and automatically test using multiple Python versions and a range of versions of your dependencies, none of the tools from the article will do it.

At best they are one of the ways to get dependancies before you use a tool to do it. You can do that with raw pip and venv as well.

What you need though, is something like tox, which has existed for years.

As mentioned in my comment, I personnally use nox for this, as it is, ironically, more modern to my taste.

Nox doesn't care if you use poetry, pew, virtualenv wrapper or venv manually.

I would certainly advice to learn something like nox or doit before learning poetry, for example.

Now I don't advice against learning poetry, mind you. It's a good tool, well written.

Pyenv is another matter entirely. The day one really need what pyenv gives you to the point it's worth investing in it, they can discard all my advices entirely, as they would have the skill and experience to not need my explanations.
