Non-profits, like any company, should hire the best people who can help the company achieve its goals, preferably at the least expense. Having employees subsidize the company (via reduced salaries) simply because the employees care about the mission is a great way to lose out on good talent.

Pretty much everyone employed today is “in it for the money.” Whether for-profit or non-profit, we all want to maximize our income.

I read the article, thanks. I think you've missed my point. I'll TL;DR it for you to make it clearer:

> This article doesn't evaluate the case that you actually want ASGI for, so I don't think it's very useful.

> The standard usecase of a sync API backed by a local DB with low request latency is typically going to be compute-bound.

(Note, I'm specifically talking about Django here)

> Essentially, there's no reason to use Django async if you're doing a traditional monolithic DB-backed application. It's going to give you benefits in usecases where the standard sync model struggles.

My claim is that these benchmarks are not looking at the use-case that Django async is intended to solve. It's not about increasing throughput to your local DB, and so it's not surprising that you don't see an improvement in benchmarks testing that case. Django's async is intended to enable API-gateways and other long-running requests where the upstream latency can be long enough to starve your API worker threads.

Regarding compute-bound vs. I/O-bound, I'm sure YMMV, but my APM tracing for a mature non-trivial production Django API shows that waiting on the DB accounts for about 25% of the total request time across all my endpoints.

Serialization/deserialization takes an embarrassing amount of time in Django, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24161828 for example. This framework is optimized for developer productivity, not for performance.
Maybe, but the thing is verdi is involved which means they will have a bad time trying to get away with it.

verdi == general purpose union coverying many different fields, worker counciels etc. with a lot of legal expertise about what is possible and what is not.
you can look at available data about chronic inflammation in people who have survived the initial infection. You can also look at data that a small number of kids are showing acute autoimmune reactions leading to severe illness and in a small number of cases death. You can then say, “we don’t know fully yet how big to expect this to be, but we should not risk exposing children to potentially life long health complications until we do.” Easy to reason through.
Since C++11, the definition of NULL is:

an integer literal with value zero, or a prvalue of type std::nullptr_t

See https://wg21.cmeerw.net/cwg/issue903 for a case where NULL was did not evaluate to zero.
It's still hot and used in successful businesses, regardless of its technical merits and pitfalls. It's pretty trendy, too.

>What's the use case for regular consumers? Is it about getting around geoblocking or using P2P file sharing without consequences?

It also makes you harder to track. If your ISP doesn't use CGNAT (ie. you have a dedicated ip), then your IP identifies you on a household level. Combine this with webrtc leaks or device fingerprinting and you can reliably identified at a device level. Compare this to a VPN server, which probably puts you in a pool of a few hundred/thousand people. If you rotate servers, it puts you in a pool of tens or hundreds of thousands of people.

A Skinner box is just a feedback loop. You perform an action, and the game gives you some kind of information. Along the way people noticed that some types of information from the game make the player less likely to play again, and other types make the player more likely to play. Games which do well usually reward the user for playing the game. (There are also other criteria such as effective advertising, branding, celebrity, good engineering, and others that I'll ignore for the moment.)

An underhanded game will use this to reward you for actions which directly earn the developer more money. For example, imagine a hypothetical game where you find or earn powerups as you go along. These are both rewards and items that give you the opportunity for another reward. You enjoy using them because they allow you to make progress in the game, and because they are graphically and audibly satisfying to use. So far so good, but if you really want to make some money then you can introduce a way to buy more powerups. If the player is having some trouble with the level they're on, offer to let them buy a powerup that would help them. They'll get all the same reward feedback from obtaining and using the powerup as before, except you earned some extra money. If you want to really earn some money, all you have to do is make powerups rarer the further the user progresses in the game, and more and more necessary. The game can gradually change from a game of skill that rewards player skill to a game of money that rewards the player for giving up money.

Factorio, on the other hand, is a much, much better game than that. If you build a small assembly line that makes some items, the feedback you get is a visual display of the machine operating. When it's operating efficiently, raw materials stream in at speed from one side, and finished goods stream out at speed from the other. If you do the job less well, the effect is visually less satisfying. Perhaps the machines are idle part of the time, because they're not getting enough raw materials. Perhaps the items are not zipping past on the belts like you would want. Maybe the belt isn't quite full of material. Your first attempt succeeded, but only imperfectly. You can then revise your design to improve it, which is a very satisfying feedback loop indeed. The more you engage with this feedback loop, the more your skill at the game improves. The more your skill at the game improves, the better you can play the game. The skill ceiling is really quite high, and building an exceptional factory requires a lot of advance planning and forethought as well as the optimization and debugging skills you have gained from your earlier play.

Either way it's just a game. Many people say that playing games is always a waste of time, because you gain nothing from it. That's not really true. You can gain satisfaction, excitement, catharsis, knowledge, understanding, relaxation, friendship, and so on from games. It's just that some games give you those in exchange for your time invested, and others give you that for your time invested plus a continuous stream of cash purchases.
What do you want to achieve? The preparation could be any of a zillion things depending on what your goal is. Do you just want to be able to successfully vote? Or exchange short "im ok" messages with friends and family? Organize resistance networks? Watch netflix without buffering? Gain enough situational awareness to escape to an unaffected region (or refugee camp)? Remain productive at your remote dev job? Silent failover without really noticing things are wrong?
I'm not sure what you're suggesting as an alternative. Large groups of people just marched in the street to protest far more heinous injustice that this corruption and the result was violent attacks by militarized police.

I've heard that military ordnance (c4 etc) is actually much safer (read: harder to set off accidentally) than non-military grade explosives such as anfo/fireworks too.

C4 for example can be microwaved/heated to very high temperatures and won't explode without a dedicated blasting cap.

Sometimes they end up in the private sector, where small enough firms can avoid the corruption that gets into larger bureaucracies. Often they end up leaving the field or the country - there are lots of great Lebanese engineers outside of Lebanon.
> "Johnny" is my dog. That photo is in front of my old apartment.

I've successfully used the DMCA against spammers who used my photos in their spam. Hosting providers and platforms usually have process in place to deal with copyright infringement even if they're turning a blind eye to fraud.

Unfortunately, that is the only success I've had against them.
If there aren't already there almost certainly will be within months. Keep checking 5gstore.com (formerly 3gstore.com, go figure) among others.

Android phones can be configured to present themselves to PCs as a USB ethernet device, and you can then set up some iptables rules to make your PC a router for a wired LAN.

There are also Wi-Fi to Ethernet converters on Amazon, but this solution is kind of hacky.
I may be in the minority but my Internet has only gotten better, faster, and cheaper over the years, so I am hesitant to advocate for any major change.

But it should be noted that the municipalities are typically who are granting a local monopoly over the existing lines to the ISP and preventing someone else from coming in and laying their own new cables down.

Frankly the problem is one of regulation and regulatory capture, not technology.
What was particularly fun for me as a kid, regarding video game rentals, was that consoles like the N64 and SNES had saves on the cartridge and sometimes you'd pick a game with a save slot where someone already unlocked a huge chunk of the game. Hitting the "jackpot" with a cartridge that had everything unlocked made the game even more fun. Suddenly that one level I was stuck on in Donkey Kong Country has been passed and I'm on to checking out other levels..
I’ve never used Perl but I periodically mistake eq and = in bash scripts. It’s quite annoying since there’s no obvious indication that one is for numbers and one is for strings.
I am kind of with the post you are responding to.

People have all sorts of private opinions. I hate the DMCA and think it represents an extremely dangerous precedent that completely misrepresents why laws like copyright were created in the first place. The idea is almost more dangerous than the implementation. That said, I think I would be ok with the Mozilla CEO donating to the DMCA as long as he did not take action on that opinion at work. I would be cynical and watching the corporate behaviour like a hawk. I would give little benefit of the doubt in assuming the worst of any official behaviour, policy, or stance that seemed inappropriate. I would be unsympathetic about any consequences that resulted from inappropriately projecting personal values into corporate action. I cannot say that I agree that it is appropriate to take corporate action against somebody for the opinions they hold as a private citizen.

A pharmacist needs to provide birth control even if they personally object to it for religious reasons—-because it is the law. If they don’t, there should be consequences ( perhaps losing their license ). However, it does not follow for me that they should be penalized for stating their opinion privately, at a rally, via donation, or even in the local paper. He has the right to stop his own daughter but not to stop mine. What he does with his family is not a good reason for me to go after his business. Now, I might not support his business. That is my personal decision. I might even suggest that others don’t support him either. I sure hope that this would not lead me to lose my job though. That would not seem at all fair to me. In fact, I would consider shutting down my freedom of speech and action like that to be quite unethical.
Readiness for use in production is the definition. But a language that falls out of use before the products written in it do was not ready.

Look around at mature languages. They have shelves of books written about them, in numerous languages. More of their users are employed to write in them than not. They have conferences where most attendees are employed coding them. There are college courses on them. They are specified clearly enough to make a new implementation, and typically have multiple implementations. Multiple important products are written in them. Users get calls from recruiters inviting them to do it elsewhere.

Rust will get all this if it lasts.
Syrian refugees are about 20% of the Lebanese population, so they're the bulk of the low-paid, low-skill labor force. (Low-skill not necessarily because they don't have any skills, but because the skills they have don't match what the Lebanese economy demands.)

Mentioning that they're Syrian is a shorthand for "they did it on the cheap".
Are you familiar with amateur radio? That allows communication at a distance without a centralized authority. You could probably learn to operate a radio and have it up and running by November.

To answer your question though, I think you need to know your goals. Do you want to send messages to let people know how you're doing? Organize a resistance? What goal do you want to achieve? That will help you determine how to prepare.
Most military explosives don’t explode when set on fire most of them don’t even burn well or at all, they are nearly all exclusively shock detonated so the distance works it basically ensures that the shock from a single explosion can’t trigger a chain reaction.

I’m not sure if this would be the same with temperature sensitive explosives since once they reach their flash point things go boom.

> that SQL isn't what most developers like or want

"Most" developers? That's debatable. But I can tell you a lot of people I talked to who chose MongoDB didn't have a single good reason for choosing it. For some, it's the only DB they are familiar with ("I used it before"). Others had vague, badly-argued reasons such as "the schema might change" or "it's faster to just use MongoDB". Seasoned DBAs almost always shook their heads in disapproval (and ended up being proven right).
To me, it is a bit weird for exercise to be the public face of bicycling and for riding fast to be the presumed goal and all the bicycle marketing to be aspirational and never practical. Weird because bicycles are such great tools.
In case someone doesn’t know that the sp is joking, geosynchronous satellites are 36k kilometers above us. The speed of light being what it is, you’re looking at 250ms just to bounce the radio wave from earth to the satellite and back. That’s just between earth and the satellites, it does not include the trip from the satellite base station to hackernews or google or whatever and back. Processing and other silicon latency gets you the rest of way to half a second or worse.

That's where the incompetence comes in. When the crew was allowed to leave and the explosives were brought onshore, the judge ordered the government to either sell it off or move it to a more permanent storage facility; the government just never got around to it.
On desktop, maybe. But on mobile? Firefox for Android (or fenix), or any other ad-blocking browser (eg. brave) is unequivocally better.
Interesting that Isreal is (maybe) capable of detecting far away fireworks bursts. I wonder how they filter out meaningless noise.
I'm on a similar place. My productivity has still not fully recovered, but at least my sense of guilt and stress around procrastination is gone - and that itself was a big detribution my attention span when it comes to being generally productive. So that's a tricky one - practice self-compassion and mindfulness.

Other random tips that have helped me, in the past:

- List out a gradient of actions you could take to make your employer more aware of your current mental performance. From the most direct approach to the most subtle one, as in: pointing out you are taking action to reduce the amount of work you are going to push to get done in a sprint, or bringing up the topic to HR, what's best for your own situation - and take action.

- Taking even the shortest walk around your block helps a lot feeding your senses with something other than your monitor.

- Within your regimented schedule, force yourself to read a novel or watch a lengthy engaging tv show and allow yourself to get immersed within it - to separate a little the need for novel information and give it to the brain when it expects it. In other words, taking control of dopamine release in your brain and optimize it to fit the media you enjoy the most, will decrease your need of novelty which often distracts us when we need the focus.

It's good to reach out - so even if you can't find a satisfactory answer here. Keep looking!

When I was growing up, 56.6kbps was the hotness. However, in the boonies where I lived, the best I could do was 33.6kbps. Most of the time, I was lucky to get 28.8, but would never get less than 14.4. Turned out, that the central switch for our town was so old and we were so far from it that there was no way for it to provide a clean enough signal for >33.6.

When HughesNet came out, we tried it. It was horrible. Only if we were lucky would we get a signal better than our dial-up's download speed. The thing about Hughes is that we still connected with a dial-up for Tx. Only Rx came from space.

All of that to say HELL YES, those are amazing speeds. However, as an adult, I became cityfolk, and have full 1Gbps up/down via fiber.
Quite a few tech companies in Norway have an international staff and speak English in the office. I worked for a small Norway-based open source consultancy for a while. We spoke English in the office as most of us were not Norwegian and most Norwegian customers were happy to work with us in English. I spent some time working with QT Software (then part of Nokia) and their office was also English speaking IIRC.
Yep. They also sometimes spontaneously combust in the field.
There are alternatives in Louisville, like IgLou (on AT&T's network afaik). I'm happy with AT&T fiber 1gb service, although it's not available everywhere in the city and is expensive.
Huh. So, here in the UK, one of the most prominent and important politicians within one of our main two parties actually outright lobbied on behalf of the Pedophile Information Exchange (roughly equivalent to NAMBLA) early on in her career, and there's a strong argument this helped get her the position she has today - the PIE-affiliated activist group she was working for had and still has close ties to that party, and a lot of people from it got prominent political roles. Despite this revelation, she has the full backing of the party and it doesn't seem to have hurt her career in the slightest.

Whilst the UK obviously isn't exactly the same politically as the US (though they have a huge amount of political cross-polination) I get the distinct impression that pedo advocacy by people of the right tribe is treated as far less of an offence than holding views that are actually widespread but go against the woke consensus.
I think the apples-to-apples question would be "what's better about this vs. Terraform modules", which is IME the most common approach to composition of infrastructure-as-code right now.

Terraform modules are definitely a bit rough in places, for example having to define `variables` and `outputs` at each layer of composition.

But on the flip-side, spelunking into TF modules is really easy when you want to figure out what's going on (I can usually make sense of the module from reading the Git repo), and I've found the Pulumi intermediate representation to be significantly harder to grok (especially if you're pointing Pulumi at a Terraform module that they have translated to TypeScript...)
F for respects for everyone who got wrecked by BOM (byte-order mark) and CRLF vs LF.
I would argue that (in the U.S. at least) there is an obvious and well-understood distinction between, "owning a multi-family home" (as the OP phrased it) and, "owning a unit in a multi-family home." The former is widely understood to mean ownership of the entire building (in every city I've lived in where two-, three-, and four-flats are common).

These kinds of buildings are not priced much higher (if at all) than single-family homes and owner-occupied arrangements (meaning the owner of the entire building occupies one unit in the building) are extremely common.
How's your hearing? If you have any tinnitus, get yourself some corticosteroids ASAP. You could still potentially prevent some hearing damage.
Yeah, I'm surprised by these numbers. I think trains might end up being more efficient in an "ideal" sense. The rails really help remove friction from the equation. TIL.

I suppose you'd have to factor in other issues in the "real" world, like managing inclines, curves, and starts/stops for traffic. Boats generally have fewer constraints on those fronts. Also, boats can increase their size in more than one dimension, which lets them increase size more geometrically and efficiently (trains can only get longer, and hits practical length limitations faster).
Which in no way invalidates what I’m saying?

Just a different outlook on how the war should be handled.
So would you say you are in a democracy, given the lobbying beats out voter needs and the state violently suppresses protests?
