Robert Kegan has a constructive developmental model where he uses "Subject" and "Object" to describe the progression in development.

Basically, you identify with the Subject and at the next level you become aware that that identity is actually something you have, not something you are. Foe example, you have wants and needs you are not your wants and needs. Your identity is not grounded in the fulfilment of your needs.

Mindfulness helps with this. You stop identifying yourself with your body and you realize that you have a body. At an advanced level you stop identifying yourself with your mind and you realize that you have a mind. This ownership allows you to choose your reactions to outside stressors and to approach in a more rational manner changing the things you have. You can change your mind because you want to change it.

At ultimate level subject-object distinction disappears. Glimpses of this ultimate level can be obtained through proper use of entheogens but it is meditation that is the slow and steady road to the mountain top. In other words, you might get to experience the state in a psychedelic trip but if you want to live there, you need to pay the price. The price might be 10 years of daily meditation.

For a frequently funny and light-hearted approach to this subject I recommend the work of Anthony de Mello. He used the word "Awareness" to label this space an "Wake Up" for the process of getting there.

If you want to safely live in a city, now more than ever. The nation watched in horror as the pandemic hit NYC, hard, early on, so while other parts of the country still can't get their act together and wear a mask, NYC's experienced the shock and horror first hand and is likely to open back up sooner, even without a vaccine, simply due to more people believing in the guidelines. Conversely with only 69 deaths in San Francisco county attributed to COVID-19, SF's simply tired of being inside.

This. I am fine with Pine hardware. On the surface it should be sufficient. Oddly, my experience with Ubuntu OS is just plain awful. It made me miss Android almost instantly. I genuinely expected more.

The physical switches are nice, but you still need to have some decent functionality to make it a daily driver. Sadly, it is not there yet.

Since we are talking about it, if someone can recommend good alternative to Ubuntu for my UBports edition, that would be awesome.

I am slowly preparing to try other OSs on Pinephone, but since it is not super easy process ( and since you have full access, you can easily brick your phone ), I have thus far spent more time learning about it than just trying to jump on one of the other OSs.

When Phoronix tested POWER9 SMT4 a while back, single-thread performance seems disappointing at first glance.

But it seems to be made up with their implementation of SMT4. The 2nd thread on a core didn't have much slowdown at all, while thread3 and thread4 per core barely affected performance.

It seems like POWER9 at least, benefits from running significantly more threads per core (at least compared to Xeon or AMD).

EDIT: It should be noted that IBM's 128-bit vector units are downright terrible compared to Intel's 512-bit or AMD's 256-bit vector units. SIMD compute is the weakest point of the Power9, and probably the Power10. They'll be the worst at multimedia performance (or other code using SIMD units: Raytracing, graphics, etc. etc.).

Power9's best use case was highly-threaded 64-bit code without SIMD. Power10 looks like the SIMD units are improving, but they're still grossly undersized compared to AMD or Intel SIMD units.

As a website owner, security is important because:
https://www.bloggerzune.com/2020/05/WordPress-security-issue...

People may not engage on your site (purchase your products & services) if it's unsecure
Google Chrome (the most popular browser) is cracking down on insecure sites, and we have seen that Google and other popular search engines do tend to prioritize SSL-secured sites over non-secured sites
When your site gets hacked, that triggers a chain reaction that can lead to loss of data, breach of user data (your customer data becoming public), loss of sales, visitors trust, getting blacklisted on search engines and browsers, legal issues, and tons of wasted time and money

Thank you for that rundown; I found it useful, because I’m also hazy about this terminology.

I hesitate to take this into what might be an irrelevant and contentious side road, but I just want to remark that the ACLU is not considered an organization that defends “everybody’s“ rights by everybody. They’ve historically done a fantastic job at defending freedom of speech, press, and assembly, and also 4th amendment rights. Aside from that, it depends on the cultural background of whatever lawyers happen to have influence in the organization. I don’t think most gun owners would say the the ACLU is interested in defending them against the government’s infringement of their rights to keep and bear arms, for example. And, more recently, they’ve taken stances that some people consider misogynistic, by telling women that they have no right to women-only spaces, for example. Women have increasing reason to feel that the ACLU is not defending their rights, in this sphere. So are they a good example of Liberalism? I guess it’s complicated.
Electron removes a heap of sandbox limitations does it not?

That's not really web dev. It's the application of web tech to something that isn't web. A slightly pedantic point I guess, but if you choose to give up the benefits of a browser you can't really complain that you don't have them any more.
N = 1 but here we go. Let's look at the CS bachelor/master offered at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam [0]. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle and I understand that university programs are heterogeneous.

So let's look at my university experience and use your post as a checklist, for funzies! :D

Functional programming: covered

Dev tooling: covered to some extent through electives where you'd teach it yourself (I also call it the Magical Course) [1]

MVC: Magical Course

event programming: never heard of it :) Reading the wikipedia page, the following courses will probably help in aiding understanding:

+ Hardware interrupts: kernel programming, binary and malware analysis and hardware security

+ User events (e.g. via JavaScript): The Magical Course and Computer Graphics

CQRS: never heard of it :D And while I get the need when reading the article from Martin Fowler, I do not have a backlog of knowledge where I've encountered this before.

Simple app: computer graphics, the Magical Course, Distributed Multimedia Systems (the practical assignments were in HTML5/JS).

Cloud vendors: nope, I learned about that when I started teaching for a coding school

zipkin, istio, helm, grafana: never heard of it :D

be able to grok a explain analyse and fine tune a 500GB dB: No. We did learn SQL though and how to model relationships with UML and entity diagrams.

it is unlikely a fresh grad has production experience: I do, because my thesis was harder than whatever production experience I was acquiring. Going to work as a web dev and web dev instructor was my form of fleeing for my much more difficult thesis. Also, computer graphics taught me volume as my OpenGL engine was 10K lines of code. The Magical Course allowed me to produce an app that I sold for 2000 euro's.

Diving into a 1 million line codebase: We did that way too briefly (the Linux OS) for just 15 minutes, unfortunately. The startups I've been at had about 100K lines of code for their complete product. In other words, a lot of companies don't have a 1M+ codebase.

Anyways, when you have someone from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, you can have some idea of what they do learn ;-)

[0] My knowledge of the curriculum is a bit stale, so it could've changed.

[1] Whenever I use this sentence, I happen to refer to one course where the teacher decided not to really teach but coach and the goal was to teach yourself whatever you wanted. I happen to have learned a lot of practical stuff that otherwise wouldn't be covered. So did many others. What did I specifically do? I created an iOS app by following Hegarthy's Stanford-based iOS course online ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI3pz7eFgfo ).
Part of the population solves none of the problem, as I outlined. The monthly minimum wage is 1 bitcoin transaction fee. It's only the wealthy that can afford to use it in the first place. It's doing nothing to increase the total welfare of the system.

I never disputed that a select few couldn't benefit from it, it's not a good general solution, though.
Apple still has a Vancouver office and it’s still responsible for some of its consumer software. Not sure, but I believe Numbers and Pages?

Also one correction. MacWrite Pro wasn’t held up by stringent quality control, it was held up by a poor architecture. The project lead told me all document state was stored in globals with unrestricted access. Fixing a bug in one area frequently created a bug elsewhere.

I worked on the windows version of ClarisWorks. I remember the Vancouver boys were really focused, they were the most hard edged, hard driving team at Claris, which I found refreshing.
TD Ameritrade is down, again
Thanks a lot for the clarification.
No disagreement there. Still, there are also developers who go out of their way to make their software both cool-looking and lean and mean by rolling their own GUI toolkit... and now it would take them way longer to implement accessibility.
IMHO these are unrelated problems. There's nothing preventing those 'handmade' libraries from using memory-safe languages and development practices, or calling into accessibility APIs provided by operating systems (assuming they are provided by operating systems), and on the other hand, Electron is the opposite of the 'handmade philosophy', but is still not accessible.

There's required complexity, and unnecessary complexity, and the latter is the worse problem in modern 'industrial' software by far, because industrial software isn't developed by customers needs, but by business needs, and the gap between what customers want and what the industry provides seems to widen more and more each year.

This 'industrial software development' that doesn't serve the user anymore is what the handmade philosophy is providing an alternative to.

Well someone has to choose what bad news to highlight and how biased to highlight said news. For example, per capita, Taiwan and S.Korea have larger DWF fleets, Taiwan significantly so. Factor in EEZ and you get a good idea of why.

China: 1400m ppl / 3000 dwf fleet / 900,000km2 eez (3.8m with disputes)

Taiwan: 24m / 414 / 90,000km2

Japan: 162m / 162 / 4,500,000km2

S.Korea: 52m / 198 / 300,00km2

Spain: 47m / 65 / 1,000,000km2

This EEZ map really explains a lot of tensions in these maritime disputes.

> The number of personal Windows users with Java itself installed (rather than programs with their own bundled JRE) is probably very low at this point

This can depend on your country. Here in Brazil, the income tax preparation software (http://receita.economia.gov.br/interface/cidadao/irpf/2020/d...) is written in Java, and the install instructions in that page tell you to update Java, so it's probably not bundled. Since everyone with income above a certain amount (and several other situations) has to use that software to fill the tax report (the option to use the paper form has been discontinued many years ago), I'd guess a high number of personal Windows users in this country have Java installed.
I was just over the character limit so put them in. No intention to use, happy to switch them to some privacy centric alternative, but I don't know any.

SketchySeaBeast may not have chosen the best metaphor, but I think their point stands: in political discourse in the United States it frequently happens that people sow disinformation, and good-faith attempts to correct the record by subject-matter experts are dismissed as partisan politics because everyone knows "it takes two to tango".
Thank you! What we realized is that there are just way too many sessions to watch which consumes a lot of bandwidth of our end users. So, we came up with AI-tags on session replays which exactly tags useful sessions based on user behavior. So, you can watch only tagged sessions where we will show exact timestamps where users were confused or there was a rage click or there was a U-Turn or error/slowness and many more!

Also, we are doing AI-clusters based on user behavior for heatmaps to show what the users who are dropping tend to do and what those who convert do.

We have realized a lot of data is been collected in such tools but it is hard to get value out of it and we are optimizing on getting value from the data! Right now, many users are liking this pitch and are ready to give us a try :)
Hey, thanks. Already took your suggestion and changed the headline. Not sure, how well it looks now :)

For better or worse, landlords have figured out they can renovate the unit (at considerable expense) in order to need get a new certificate of occupancy, which has the upside of considering it to be a 'new' unit for rent-control reasons.
well, you first have to create a drawing yourself and somehow get a nation state to adopt it as a national flag. Order of events matters.
I still have my Canon EOS-3. I usually use a 6D because, well, it is more convenient, and the price both to buy and to develop film is now high enough to be annoying, but in most scenarios, I prefer the photographic output from my film camera.

> all it takes to bike to work is all the tarmac and smooth roads of a car world, all the parking space of a small car world, all the maintenance of a small vehicle

You are just joking, right? You’re exaggerating by an order of magnitude, you can literally fit 10 bikes in the space of a small car, on the road and when parked. You think bike maintenance is the same effort as car maintenance? I’m baffled by this claim, and I maintain several bikes and several cars. Cars are much harder, much more expensive to maintain, and require far more resources. Bike maintenance is something most riders can do on their own, while car maintenance is something people take to a shop.

> Do bikes have the largest amount of unmentioned externalities of any form of transport?

What on earth are you referring to? Are you comparing a few sidewalks and bike lanes in select metro areas to the 3 million miles of paved roads in the US? Are you suggesting the 1-2 ounces of oil I use on my bike chain per year is somehow worse than the average 2 metric tons of gas and oil used by the average car in a year? Are you including pollution in your list of externalities? Are you including accidents and fatalities in your calculation? I’m confused, I really can’t think of a single unmentioned externality where bikes don’t compare favorably to cars by a very wide margin.

So, it seems like the answer is a really clear and obvious no, there are other forms of transport with externalities so much larger than bikes that it makes the mere suggestion seem pretty absurd. Examples include but aren’t limited to: cars, airplanes, and cargo boats.
From the linked Ian Urbina Wikipedia page:

> As a journalist, his investigations typically focus on worker safety and the environment...

As you point out, Urbina has an undeniable preference for international law, regulation, and treaties pertaining to oceans and fisheries. These sentiments seem to align with the values promoted by the Yale School of the Environment [1]. The article links to an investigative report Urbina did for NBC [2] which describes the evidence.

>But isn't this also why prices are do much lower today?

Yes. And if lower prices are the only reason for antitrust everything is fine.

In the US at the beginning of the 80s Robert Bork broke from the traditional antitrust thinking and started a tradition where only "consumer welfare" (lower prices) are meaningful reason for antitrust policies.

Rest of the world never bought that and now thinking even in the US is starting to change. Free markets are not just about low prices. Restoring traditional antitrust and competition policy principles are coming back. Such as applying common carrier obligations and duties to platform economics.

The parent didn't say "if make a web site" s/he said "if you use web tech".

This is complete bullshit, top to bottom.

Microservices add complexity, they don't remove it.

Monolithic architecture doesn't force tight coupling. Tight coupling doesn't depend on an architecture. Making a monolith crash-proof is easier than dealing with intermittently-functioning microservices.

Being able to change microservices without that affecting any other services is a design goal, not an architectural feature.

Microservices are not inherently more scalable than monoliths. They have to be designed that way. And monoliths can equally well be designed to be scalable (just add more instances!).

When to use microservices? When one part of your monolith can easily be broken out and run on its own server as a service, and that would improve some performance bottleneck that you need because you can see a point where it will matter in the near future. Otherwise "never".
One thing I was left curious about after reading this is, what is that third cloud that Google could fall behind of? I know they're after AWS and Azure, but there are several candidates for that fourth place.

How many flags did you design that later got adopted by countries or people groups?

There’s no question he designed it (although that artwork that contains a very similar design is very interesting). But the Government should have probably compulsorarily acquired it by now if he isn’t willing to give it up... I guess they’re waiting for him to die so it won’t be as easy for them to be dragged to the high court over the “on just terms” clause in the Constitution.
Another easy way is to remember two points on each scale (which to me is easier than remembering the conversion equation). 0C is 32F, and -40C is -40F. From here you can figure out the conversion equation. It'll be easy after doing this a few times.

There are technologies that solve one problem better than others or for example you already have modules written in Java with all business logic, integrations, security compliance (and what not) and it would take forever to adopt them in another language. Same for Python and ML. Many companies work with different tech stack and for them is also a benefit to have flexibility in that manner.
Most SIM cards are one-time programmable, so they can’t change anything on the card. They do still have a small RW area, but thats generally for user data (contacts).

You can get SIM cards that have large amounts of storage for running applets and have better support for OTA, but most carriers don’t like the extra expense.

The practice of converting enum-like keys into their string representation by using toString, toLower, etc seems convenient but gets very contrived very fast. How do you deal with underscores? What about using the message in a sentence? I say, use the enum in your code as a conditional or something but always explicitly write out the messages intended for the user.
