https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit,_Voice,_and_Loyalty

I remember taking a class where the professor claimed the framework above as the basis for understanding interactions between people and their governments. People ultimately have two actions they can take, to use their voice/dissent, or leave the country.

In a world where dissent isn't possible, leaving will be the only response to poor governance. How seriously a government takes emigration will also depend on the people emigrating as a highly skilled engineer is far more valuable to the national economy and military than a fast food cashier, and this would skew political influence away from one person one voice towards one dollar one voice even more. In the event even leaving isn't possible due to an emigration ban, the only response may be to refuse to work on new technologies and let the country stagnate economically until the government is weak enough where dissent/rebellion is possible again.

At the end of the day, power games form the foundation for most large-scale human interactions, and you only have power over someone if you can give them something they want, or do something to them they don't want. Governments want their people to not rebel and overthrow them, and to be economically and technologically productive so they don't fall behind and get conquered. In a world where rebellion isn't possible, not giving governments the economic production they want is the only way to exercise power.

Next thing I will hear "Linux simple? Systemd-kernel is a lot leaner"

I think we have different definitions of lean and simple. After about a decade of Linux use I just found out Grub has modules thanks to you. You point it a disk and it installs. You edit the config file and that works. That's my experience it. I have had many debates with people who like systemd-isms , it's a fundamental difference in use case and philosophy.
It's only a failure if you judge success by monthly income. I'm not saying that's not a good way to measure success, just pointing out that it doesn't have to be the only measure. A therapist told me this recently when I was struggling to find meaning in life.

Success can be tons of stars on GitHub - I would feel very good if I had positively benefited that many people. I think a major downside of capitalism is how it attempts to attach a price tag to both the concrete and the ephemeral - how can you put a price tag on the good feelings one gets for creating something useful from the world? But nah every side project has to be a hustle and if it isn't making you money, drop it in a second.

As for support requests, you don't really have to reply to them. You have control over your level of involvement in a project.

How much less enjoyable does your backyard garden become if every weed you pull you think "excellent, I've just increased the value of my house by .12$. Ah shit there goes inflation, hold on, my weed pulling nets me less than a dollar an hour, maybe I should do some contracting with this time instead?"
Dirceu's quote was retracted and said to be unfortunate. Also he was talking about a scenario where Bolsonaro executed a military coup.

Freixo meant that about Bolsonarismo, not the right. Which is a sentiment I agree.

Your claim about Alexandre de Moraes is conspiracy theory, there's no serious reason to believe he's involved on Zavascki's death.

Yeah, Bolsonaro was stabbed by a nutjob, and STF's ministers and family constantly receive threats from people online. Both affirmations are true, although that's not the reason for the censoring in question.

I completely agree STF went to far in this matter and it's worrying that they're starting to feel comfortable censoring speech. But nothing you said related to it. It feels like you're trying to imply "see, it's the left that's actually violent", which is not only unfaithful to the general public discourse in Brazil but also contributes to polarization without adding nothing to the discussion in hand.

It is the case in my personal experience though. I don't think I'm disconnected from what 'noobs' are as I've taught a lot of them through my line of work.

A few years ago I met Fred Haise Jr and got him to sign one of my Slide Rules. He was so excited to see it, took it from me, and started to show the event host how to use it!

He asked me what I use to lubricate it, and when I said "Pencil graphite" he got even more excited. Apparently a lot of the other astronauts had used fancy light lubrication oils, but he always used a pencil and never had any problems.

He was a lovely man, and it was fabulous to enthuse with him over this wonderful piece of technology.
Peer Calls
Thanks for the quick reply! I'm really in the same boat as you, as I do not want to create a system where an "identity police" can create eligibility by the length of noses.

> When you make that official policy [...] abusing that system will be easy

Are you not seeing that this exists already? There are people claiming to be unemployed, receiving unemployment money, and work without registering their income. That's where I wish people would differentiate more. These problems you listed already exist and must be solved either way! But should we therefore not make attempts to get more talented people into the right careers?

> Take everyone's children away from their parents [...] exclude the parents' culture and values and the peer group of children from having influence on their future, that's the way

Why? Why eliminate their environment, instead of - as I proposed - enriching it by providing additional access to opportunities?

> But they are the same for all

They are not, that's the point! Only because you can measure income does not make this barrier objective. It was set by humans, who were biased in their decision (hence why the committee which negotiates the Mindestlohn is composed of multiple interest groups). Again, I am not advocating that using lengths of noses is comparable, but stating that "gender and ethnicity don't play a role" is plain wrong. They do not play a role at the time you ask for it, yes, absolutely. But they do play a role in the negotiation phase and in the overall structure of social programs.
Although the quotes seem to imply that this isn't yours, it's brilliant all the same.

> lazy software engineering

For production code, I agree with you. When writing PoC software, using those can speed up development, rather than forcing you to figure out the best way to deal with those options or errors upfront. Refactoring in Rust tends to also make it reliably produce production quality code when you go back and fix all that.

On the “?” In examples, that can also lead to annoyance for a new to Rust Dev, getting error return types correct, or knowing to leverage crates like anyhow, can be complex at first. Unwrap and expect are great ways to get started. I also make heavy use of them in test code.
I think you're confusing copyright for trademark. At least in the US, trademarks require defense but copyright does not.
Agree with you. If I may add, this would be feasible only:

Also music festivals.
There are 800 deprecated symbols in GTK 3. They were removed in GTK 4 because nobody upstream is willing to pay the cost to maintain them anymore. There is a real cost and typically this cost is that you have to commit to bugfixes and refactoring on the deprecated bits for the entire lifecycle of the new version, which is potentially many years. If the app developers aren't willing to pay the cost either, then you've got a hung jury situation.

>He had been an architect for more than 10 years in a large corp, and joined this small company I joined too.

A lot of "software architects" are just people that have been at a big corporation long enough that they found someone willing to promote them, but they don't have social skills to put them in a managerial role.

In my experience it often also means they stop coding and only do presentations and (bad) UML Diagrams. Leading to the complete deterioration of their skills.

That’s always true even before you talk about option combining.

python scr.py -a -v

Interpreting this command correctly requires you to know that python passes everything after the first positional argument to the script.

ansible play.yml -v

Where ansible itself consumes the -v argument.

It gets even worse with subcommands.

sudo -k command -a subcommand -v

Options parsing is nice because the arity of options is always 0 or 1.
One way to go about it is to:

- Start a company

- Contract with enterprise clients as a company

- Charge appropriately

The money you can charge as a "freelancer" vs as a company is not the same. You will be able to build a brand around that company in a way that's different than a physical person, who may be unstable, disappear, etc.

If you go that route, please have an attorney write your contract drafts and never sign anything without your attorney looking at it.
> take any 2 nouns A & B. you can concatenate them into a new noun AB or a new noun BA (with completely different meaning). German has this concept too.

This is also how it works in English, except the concatenation may be written with a space as "A B". If anything, writing it as "AB" should make search more accurate, since you're less likely to get results with "BA" than getting results with "B A" when searching for "A B".

What do they class as "digital currency"? The major world currencies have been purely electronic for decades now. Nothing physical is moving around, even between banks. Bitcoin is unique not because it's electronic but because it's trustless. Those "stablecoins" they then go on to mention are no different to regular currencies, they're just there to allow people to cash in on the hype of bitcoin.

> The type of youth that enlists in US army these days seem to do so with dreams of killing as much enemies as possible.

You clearly don’t know as much about US youth and US culture as you think you do.

Most youth who enlist in the US Army (and every branch of the military) do so in order to pay for college or simply because they lack job prospects or job skills coming out of High School.

The idea that the type of youth that enlist are doing so with dreams of killing as many enemies as possible is ridiculous. Most people in the military don’t want to be anywhere near a battle field.

The vast majority of military jobs (including the US Army) aren’t even combat related.

They join the military for job skills, the college benefits, lack of direction, self-improvement (discipline), etc.

My sister joined the Air Force in order to get into the medical field and because a nurse in the Air Force and then used the college funding benefits the military gives you to complete her nursing program so she could work as an RN when she left the military.

It’s almost as if you think that because we don’t use conscription, how could someone want to join the military other than a desire to kill people? Which is WAY off base and not grounded in reality.
>Anyone who tries to equivocate this with what is happening in the United States is not only wrong but morally bankrupt.

Xinjiang shares a land border with Afghanistan and Pakistan. There is a significant Uyghur separatist movement active in Xinjiang, backed by Al-Qaeda, Hizb Ut-Tahrir and the Pakistani Taliban. America might not commit human rights abuses on this scale domestically, but they certainly do it overseas. Would America be this restrained in the same circumstances?

Good example: youtube.com

It doesn't realize that H.264 1080p60 works due to HW decoding, and falls back to VP9 480p30 because it ties 720p and up to HFR if it's an HFR video.

Using `youtube-dl -F` will tell you that 480p, 720p30, 720p60, 1080p30, and 1080p60 are available in H.264, while only higher resolutions are gated behind VP9. Some videos (from 50 Hz countries) are p25/p50 instead, but iirc using the same format codes as the p30/p60 brothers.

that's 2005 software fallback performance. We're in 2020, LLVMPipe can easily give you 15-25 fps for simple games, which is very decent for a fallback option.

sure, but think of this.. Most people will say that listening in to a phone conversation is 'spying' and not right, and, it turns out that listening is hard, due to poor connections, accents and other noisey issues. BUT at scale, simply collecting and mapping the patterns of connection/duration over time is much more informative than most people imagine, and few object to that. Surprise.

Run the scenario you describe, and people being intrusive, rent-collecting bullies that they can be, and do you think the sole-sourcing of "giants" will be a tame and orderly affair ?

There are two directions to take that thought at least.. one is, what did previous groups do in past times that did create positive results; and second, a tech games-theory approach to de-centralization mixed with special purpose business entities, with real checks and balances.

Personally, I assume that business cannot be trusted over time to keep the consumer of services best result in mind.

I'd be also curious to see which space (if anything left) Visa would be moving on the retail side. They have already filed a patent which could be an additional indicator [1].

In general, once a national CBDC is in place it'd become rather difficult to foresee the position of middle players between issuer of cash (CB) and user of cash (people) in retail space, e.g. Visa and commercial banks. In a world where anybody can send cash to each other without a middle player (even offline), the role of middle players would probably reduce from "money printers" and large-scale trusted actors to "security box"-holder financial players and value-added service providers.

On the private sector side, there are also quite strong players stepping in, likes of Celo and various other public chains. On the public sector, China's DC/EP would be publicly out in 2022 creating a strong inertia [2], followed by couple of other central banks in various stages.

Things are going to get really interesting next few years, which certainly will change the today's financial landscape.

Even more crucial is that children learn language in situations of actual language use. The things and situations that are spoken about are often at hand in some way, and there is a large social element.

No matter how close you might get to "the language learning algorithm", if all you're feeding it is text, it's not going to learn the same thing that kids learn. The data is simply not there.
There seems to be some confusion in the comments regarding this decision.

This is not an arbitrary decision made in a vacuum. There’s an ongoing judicial inquiry, and the accounts suspended were linked to persons of interest. They’re currently being investigated for crimes in both civil and penal spheres.

The accounts were not banned, they are temporarily suspended for the course of the investigation. Also, it’s explicitly mentioned that, given the evidences (which the accused parties have access to), some individual rights are being suspended, as they’re not shields for committing crimes or avoiding responsibility. The decision also mentions that Constitutional rights don’t exist on their own, they find their limits in the other equally important rights and guarantees contained in the Constitution. This is not some exotic feature of Brazilian law, it’s something also mentioned in the Declaration of Human Rights (which is also cited).

Having said that, all affected parties have the right to contest the measure, this is not an autocratic decision.

Finally, if Facebook and Twitter wants to operate in Brazil, they need to comply with Brazilian laws, including complying with court decisions. You can definitely argue against blocking the information world wide, but similar decisions were made by other democratic countries (like Canada).
I think you are jumping to the "What do you propose?" question before understanding the pain point first.

You are asking for a solution before agreeing that there exists a problem.

This is the "I'll listen to your problem if the solution is convenient" mentality. It's inside-the-box thinking. It holds you back.
