Obama gave us some hope.

Also, most of the issues you mention are domestic issues, so many Europeans don't really see how badly the US handles them. But internationally, the US has strongly supported Europe over the past 75 years, and also acted as a kind of world police in a way that rarely hurt European countries, and when it did, it was on an issue where the US was correct.

Until the Iraq war. That was the big betrayal. But then Obama was elected, and Europeans felt like Bush was just a fluke, and things would be normal again from then on.

And then Trump was elected.

Maybe Europeans are a bit slow in accepting inconvenient reality, but it's finally hit home.

Let's not forget blood ph is coded on over 7 different chromosome and more than a thousand genes.

The XY chromosome is certainly one of the most important in hormone differentiation, but its is still one of the smallest. Claiming that it "program" people with no physiological evidence and only sociological or worse, psychological data points is dumb and uninteresting, and one of my bias is to sometime group people with their claim.

Claiming that testosterone levels are linked to aggressiveness and risk-taking in male is less dumb but not that interesting if it does not explain why (and how it disprove double-blind randomized study on the effect of testosterone-based male contraceptive https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/89/6/2837/2870329).

As those claims often are not really evidence-based, seems to always target the same group and have unhealthy proponent, i might dismiss them a sexist, even if the author is in good faith and wants to understand why people dismiss his point.
I have never seen a website offer SEPA direct debit and for good reason - that would be ripe for fraud; they can usually be reversed.

For manual transfers, not only would you need their account number, but you would need the amount and transaction code and to manually enter those in your bank's app. Then, you have to manually return to the store's website to see if it succeeded.

So no, the differences are not minor.
I've seen plenty of coders promoted into management. Of course, it takes time - first they have to prove themselves in some tech lead or product owner role and later, if they seem capable, they can go higher. Come to this about it, two out of three of my current bosses (incl. a guy who has hundreds of people under him) are ex-coders.

Programmers have a bad reputation with Feminists. Hanging out in any online Feminist space is very illuminating - they have gone on many dates with people who do what we do, and they're contemptuously familiar with "us" as a class. If you're trying to date in a tech city, I think you pretty much have to do this - there are a lot of "tech bro" memes out there for you to step in on the first date.

This prejudice seems largely absent from health-care workers, for what it's worth.

(Nurses and nurse-adjacent professionals seem to think of doctors as much bigger jerks and sexists than programmers, whereas I think a lot of creative professionals now view programmers and various kinds of scientist / engineer as pretty much the ur-sexist-jerk).
our "revolution" would just involve voting in Bernie Sanders at the ballot box. In Saudi, it would literally be an Arab Spring type event. It's no coincidence that the Arab Spring corresponded with low energy prices.

Another interesting tidbit: when Saudi allowed women to drive, oil was in another mini-"bust" cycle. A half-measure to stave off larger social change.
Even if your audience is other people who enjoy building, it can work because they might build on top of your thing. Think about an arduino.

Kdo is a command line tool that enables developers to run, develop and test code changes in a realistic deployed setting without having to deal with the complexity of Kubernetes deployment and configuration.

With Kdo, you can:

- run a command in a Kubernetes cluster without any deployment;

- build and use a custom image to run a command without any registry;

- inherit pod configuration from an existing workload instead of deploying;

- replace existing pods while running a command to evaluate end-to-end behavior.

In that case you need to do it another way. There are a tremendous number of things we could do if law enforcement wasn't "hindered." It's along the lines of "argument from lack of imagination" to state that they HAVE to have access to that data to prevent x, y, z.

I don't doubt that it would be useful to have that data, but that doesn't override privacy concerns. You already know the IP address of the server using that domain -- follow up that chain of responsibility.

With so many tools and one-off approaches being shared for knowledge management, I would be curious to learn from you - what is YOUR approach?

> Our failure to deal with coronavirus wasn’t because the government didn’t want to deal with the issue.

Technically it was directly the result of our government not wanting to deal with the issue and making it political rather than scientific. Trump could have easily said wear a mask, follow the guidelines, let's take our time to reopen, let's make sure that we pump additional money into the system sooner rather than later, because if we will end up pumping it anyway, but this way we avoid foreclosures, rent evictions, homelessness, and all of that will lead to poverty and increased lawlessness.

There's plenty that could have been done to contain the virus. Yes America is much larger in geography and population than Europe, but Italy, Spain, Germany, all have shown that you can contain the virus.

If our leadership actually united around what was best for America rather than fighting each other, we could have certainly improved where we are today. By the end of this week we will be hitting 75k new cases and we are full bore into the second wave.

Yet, the President still won't put on a mask in public, won't call people out on it, it's gotten so bad that even his lackey VP Pence has finally said it's a good idea to put the mask on.

America has become extremely divided and it is because of the media. On both sides. You have FoxNews that paints a narrative that ignores all science, and you have the left media that is all too happy to jump on any little issue that makes Trump look bad and heighten it out of proportion and then as a result the right fights back even harder.

Hello @joshring,

I'm with the product team at Prisma, currently focusing on migrations.

>Prisma is great if you plan on never maintaining past your MVP, so I guess it makes sense that startups use it and get stuff out the door quickly

We want Prisma to help developers get stuff out the door faster but our ultimate goal is to support developers throughout the entire application lifecycle.

We are working on improving Migrate and hope to deliver improvements over the next few months that hopefully can help you change your mind about our toolkit. :)
I work in Java every day, and I agree it's been a huge success. But I also don't think it's a good general purpose language. It's absolutely full of warts and gotchas and ergonomic problems and questionable design decisions that even the people who made them have come to regret.

But known history tells us that there is very little correlation between a language's success and how well-designed it is. Outside of software, too - I think the archetype for this phenomenon is probably VHS and Betamax.
Today I needed to be able to insert the current date in emacs and I found the lisp code to do so online, hacked it to give the output I liked and then added it to emacs - the program I used to edit the code with? The same running version of emacs that I loaded and tested the code with.

Computer science has little to say about software engineering, I've found. There is not much high quality research on the subject, because it's more of a social science and it's inaccessible as a field of study to normal social scientists.
> I don't think CS is a high social status field at all.

This really struck home for me about 15 or so years ago. I was a "principal architect" at Travelocity, which meant that I was involved in driving the most complex technical decisions of the site. I felt like I was really doing well for myself - it was the top of the "tech track" there. One day, corporate asked people who had graduated from a set of local universities to speak to graduates of those universities - since I had graduated from one, I told them I'd be interested. The woman I talked to actually seemed shocked and said (no exaggeration), "Oh, I'm sorry, I should have been more clear, we were looking for people further along in their careers".
Yup, but GNOME3 is really the best tablet experience around (unless you really need proprietary on-device "apps", as with Android/iPadOS).

Legal profession - a senior judge or attorney will have social status and influence far beyond one simply granted by their wealth. University professors likewise. Doctors, especially the kind that work on diseases typical for wealthy old men; they will have status, social connections and influence beyond their profession. Politicians - town mayors generally aren't rich, but have influence and social status.

In essence, it's about the professions that work closely with other people. If you're high-ranking in a profession that provides an personal service that matters to socially important people, you'll have influence. Does your profession bring you into personal contacts with important people, where they are motivated (or forced) to rely on your specific personal competence? That will buy you their respect.
I can't read this due to the subscription paywall, but a couple of thoughts on the topic:

I feel like nobody has really tried to emulate a bookstore. Instead, everyone online focuses so hard on selling, largely by "you like X, so you'll like "X', X'', and X'''".

Even only browsing by genres only ever shows the popular books, and some of those popular books show up in whichever genres they can shoehorn them into, leading to bland and repetitive experiences.

I guess that ultimately here's a thrill not because bookstores are somehow not special, but because it's easy to get past the 'Bestseller' advertising and into, pardon the pun, novel territory.

The EU explicitly stated the goal was to reduce e-waste, and the only way to do that is by not shipping a new charger with every phone.

I can't handle most new book stores, places like chapters and stuff, but I love browsing through used book stores. You never know what you're going to find.

> Well, first of all, you don't know that anything is possible

I said "let's assume (...) that anything is possible", a completely different thing, so your argument that " we don't know if it's possible" is moot, and a classic case of a straw man argument.

> "while 'we don't know' is a perfectly acceptable position, it does not lead to,'therefore my pet idea is worthy'"

Again, you are mostly having an argument with yourself, as this is somewhat a misrepresentation of what I'm saying. My main point is that it behooves to be a bit humble when it comes to dismissing ideas that are possible albeit without firm evidence and that offhanded dismissal should be discouraged, unless one can actually disprove the claim. It is after all the stuff from which new knowledge is made. That doesn't mean that every scientist must engage and clamor to inspect the evidence for each fantastical claim (but I do believe that an active interest from the scientific community would help cleanse the scene of some of the more outrageous theories).

> "If you want people to take it seriously, you need to provide evidence."

Really? so all scientific endeavors must produce evidence before they are allowed to posit something? I think you will agree that this is an untenable position hold as a general principle, and you probably mean that any layman should not be allowed to posit anything without having the proper education and academic standing. Be that as it may, such ivory towers of academic snobbishness will fall, eventually.

> Eventually I was past 5 mi. Then 6. Then 7. At 7 I was waking up eager to do these runs. At 8 I finally felt like I understood why people love long distance running. At 11 mi, I was in love. I ended up hurting myself and dreading the time it took to recuperate. But I was back at it, and going strong before Covid.

I can really relate to this. Went through the same progression, and also ended up slightly injured, forcing me to scale it back for a few weeks, which really sucked.

> Now in Covid land, I've paused my running schedule. I'm just too freaked out. I live a little too boxed in here in Chicago. Near the lake with running trails, but soooo many runners.

Wind and solar power means we will almost certainly have an almost infinite supply of electricity in only a few years.

If appealing to a higher court is what is meant by "ignoring courts and being a banana republic", that doesn't make much sense to me. What's the purpose of having higher courts to appeal to if not so that people or companies can do exactly that? To me, "ignoring a court" is contempt of court, and courts have mechanisms available to them to deal with it. It's the sort of thing people get tossed into prison for. Appealing things to higher courts is not contempt of court.

But I don't see how any of this relates to a merchant refusing to do business in a country that neglects to prosecute thieves and scammers. I assume it's somehow meant to relate to that, since the conversation is threaded that way, but I can't work out the connection.
> delivery takes weeks or months, it probably gets shipped fairly efficiently by sea.

No, most of goes around as airmail. In fact, actual physical transport times are super low.

Just to add a few more things about PHONK:

- PHONK is a full dev environment that lives within the phone / tablet

- The Web Editor is hosted inside the device and served using a web server. So no 3rd party servers / cloud needed.

- It can access the device sensors in a couple of lines of code

- Has support for Websockets, MQTT, OSC, Midi, Bluetooth, Bluetooth BLE, NFC and more in a very concise way

- You can connect an Arduino straight to the phone with a USB OTG cable and communicate with it

- UI uses normalized coordinates, which is very handy for prototyping. It comes with a variety of views for most needs. You can also create a custom one.

- There is live code execution from the Web Editor. Just select the code => Control (or CMD) + Shift + X and that code will be live executed.

- PHONK comes with a Console, so you can console out wirelessly to the Web Editor.

- It comes with OpenStreetMaps support by default

- More advanced 2d and 3d graphics can be done through Processing which is included as a library.
