> The managerial and professional class has become aware of the fact that they're hard to replace, and employers actually can't fire them all

Not so sure they're that hard to replace. There's always the following:

* The unemployed, especially those displaced/affected by offshoring

* Slightly less qualified but trainable

* Those with criminal background issues, but are otherwise well qualified.

All categories would be served well through a staffing firm specializing in handling these kind of issues.
You could put your data in Postgresql and use Oracle XE/ORDS/APEX as a front-end and have the best of both worlds for free.
It is much better. Run it in a VM for a while and get a feel for it. Pick one of the stable versions like Redhat (Centos) or Ubuntu LTS so that you don't have to worry about constant updates as you would in Manjaro/Arch. And buy linux compatible hardware or system if you plan on using it professionally. A preinstalled machine/laptop is great for that. Dell and Lenovo have several.

The US does not have thousands of people vulnerable for war crimes.

All of America’s foreign wars have been aided by allies that subject to the ICC. They used the same tactics. Where are all those indictments.

NATO + Australia, Japan, and South Korea wouldn’t do anything about normal levels of civilian casualties caused by war. Or else they’ll be next since they’ve done the same things and will again.

Like it or not, accidentally bombing an Afghan wedding because your intelligence was faulty isn’t a war crime.

Mate, Wordpress does not even have a way to manage your images without using a plugin. People using Wordpress to run newspapers and magazine sites have to use a hacked together solution involving either more plugins or writing custom code. As someone who's had to run a magazine site with Wordpress, I can painfully recall all the issues I've faced and cursed the dev team.

When you have a few hundred images (and that's just for a small site, let alone newspapers), do you really think having just a dropdown with media type and month for a filter (out of the box) suffices? Asset management is a core feature for any large-scale media outlet CMS.
Any tips for onboarding someone remotely?
In software and I have a new hire coming in on Monday. Any tips for doing this onboarding remotely? I have had no issues doing it in person. I want to make sure I'm not burnt out with too much video conferencing and I want to ensure the new hire has as much resources provided as possible.
> PHP was designed to have loops, logic, to take variables and so on and interpolate them within HTML. [...] one of the unique capabilities the language has

Totally agree, but unfortunately PHP's integration within a markup processor is quick and dirty, without consideration for context-dependent escaping and quoting etc. hence continues to give rise to a large number of HTML injection attacks.

Egypt was going downhill.

You can be against whatever you wish. Real world takes precedence.

Once you cry havoc and unleash the dogs of war all bets are off.

The us has had successful state building with Germany Japan and South Korea and totally failed with Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran.

And the whole Latin America is... complicated.

In hindsight the proper solutions are aplenty, but so far how to intervene or whether is a cointoss for the outcome.

I've been using AWS's Schema Conversion Tool to move from SQL Server to Postgresql, and it has been a good experience.
I hope whenever this sees its day in court that whatever the verdict is, it errs on the side of privacy over laissez faire business practices.

I am concerned though. Some precedent has been set with opening up default maps and browser choices. I know those aren’t about person-to-person communication, but still.
Or just start over. Dunno why my dollars that I had to go to work for and do what someone else told me to do is guiltier and more traceable than anything else.
Honestly curious: Is there any objective reason for going with Oracle DB over PostgreSQL? Putting emotions aside :).

Or is it that Oracle runs on the fumes of legacy lock ins?
They had the chance to defend themselves after the case became public. What did they do? Had their trails tucked between their legs and went to hide.
It's a shame only these pawns were charged.
Fair point. Perhaps “soda drinkers who have a clear, established preference for one brand over another” (which is what I presume would lend value to that brand and what I had in mind, but definitely isn’t what I said).
I now prefer Archlinux for desktops and Ubuntu server for servers.

I never tried Pop OS, I might look into it as well since it's based off Ubuntu LTS, which I quite like. I'm too old for the rolling releases that change constantly. I've been using Ubuntu and Redhat for a long time now.
In particular the author maintains a kernel branch that is very advanced. Only a few projects use it though, and I once asked for why that was and was told that many patches in that authors kernel branch were unlikely to ever be mainlined and thus would not fit the approach of the distribution.
Not at all. It was to prevent bloodbath of rebels and regime change as a side dish. But then Assad turned out stronger and with better allies and the quagmire was born.

I don’t know how it would come about, but on Ars Technica’a articles about the Republican Party, they use pretty unflattering photos, and I’ve seen many articles from conservative sites using unflattering photos of Democrats.
This is some misogynistic bull because you’re implying that only women would care about unsightly wires strung around the place.

I am implying nothing. I am stating a fact. My wife hates visible wires. Every time we move, it's a pain in the ass to hide all the wires for the TV. When Bluetooth became a thing, she was first on board with a wireless mouse and keyboard. It's been an ongoing theme in our relationship for decades.

Educate yourself.

I don't need to educate myself about my wife. You might want to educate yourself about projection, and making false assumptions to fit other people into your stereotypes.
Gosling's version paints a decidedly different picture than the GGP's quote from RMS.

I wonder if RMS was mad at Gosling for having the temerity to allow Unipress to sell his (Gosling's) version of Emacs, instead of leaving the Gosling version free for everyone as required by RMS's personal purity code?
> That's a dumb conflict of forces.

That's deft political engineering. Congress is to blame. They tweak the budget to protect themselves and their true constituents (megadonors and lobbyists).

We're in a peculiar situation where democrats and republicans are both on the "right" in their fiscal policies. Any blush of "left" policy is shouted down by bipartisan echoes of McCarthyism. The politicians of both parties are, by and large, upper class, and they collectively pit the middle class against the lower class.

We don't need a new IRS, we need a new breed of politician. And enough funding for the IRS that it can audit those politicians and their donors fearlessly.
Similar opinion here. Seems like there are only 2 or 3 key principles that must be known to understand calculus. Most anyone could probably understand limits and the Riemann sum.
The first that comes to mind is cost.
Oh, so the other context here is the Google Oracle lawsuit. In it Oracle is arguing that google implementing portions of the java standard library api in android was copyright infringement.

It's due in front of the supreme court October 7th (Wednesday after next).

It's... certainly a novel interpretation of what is copyrightable, and if they win it's going to cause quite a few problems (e.g. wine is going to be infringing windows copyright, and windows is going to be infringing Linux's copyright (with WSL and some of their other apis), and so on and so forth. Literally everyone, including oracle (see: sql, cloud apis, etc), has been acting like APIs aren't copyrightable.

So anyways, no, no case law (yet) since no one has even established that APIs are copyrightable.
Oh nice... So, when are they leaving? :)
Neither did I. I was introduced to Eclipse before I got my first job and today, 9 years later it still gets the job done. I briefly use IntelliJ IDEA CE only for one static analysis plugin that works better in IDEA, most code editing is in Eclipse.

I don't love eclipse, not a person to get too attached to an IDE, but it is an incredible piece of open source software. It works.

Also too much effort in rewiring keyboard shortcuts that have made their way to my muscle memory. So eclipse it is.
Not when it's not allowed to take off.
Now you're cheating, because + and - no longer mean "addition" and "subtraction", but merging and... well, weird division - the last example would be better as 1 stick / 2 = 2 sticks.

But try the first two with the following substitutions:

"drop of water" => "volume of a drop of water"

"river" => "flow rate of a river"

And you're back to addition and correct answers.
Right. The developers are bad people because of this. Curses to them. Maybe they're <insert some giant ad-oriented corporation here with F or G in the name> employees moonlighting as traitors to the human condition, already suffering from forced information shoved at us, and attention issues?

Yes I’m talking about third party packages, software and repositories. The contents of the default Debian repositories are excellent, but usually quite old.
Well, you're going to need apache or nginx, then you're going to need a php cgi or fpm. You still need somewhere to store your data so now you get a database layer that has to scale too. Don't forget your op cache. Oh and you probably need some kind of shared filesystem too, so there's that.

If any of those pieces break, get overloaded or have a security bug, your website is down. When your website isn't getting traffic, you still get to pay for those things, maintain them and perform regular updates.

With a static site you have files that get served by whatever. As long as you are serving files you are up. You should update your nginx or whatever on occasion. Scalability is stupidly horizontal.

I think you're mixing up the motivations and sentiments of those in power and the general public.

US foreign policy is not motivated by an empathetic response to address "bombings, massacres, civil wars". That's only relevant in the calculus of managing the public narrative.

Empires don't enter military conflicts to save or better lives. They do it to control resources and counter regional or global imperial competitors.
Yes. So it does not require any speculative technology that we may or may not ever possess, just put together what we currently have plus some amount of research that would normally be expected of a project this size plus huge budget plus huge amount of patience.

This is just a case go get a budget and build it.

Covid-19 in Iceland: Violated Isolation and Infected over 100
My default state is "unreasonably happy" but my latest "generosity" was making A couple of what I call "Porsche house calls" to help fix a friend's car. He's an hour away. Before I got sick, I used to to travel much further (different states) to help friends and strangers.

I am honest to myself. As the title suggests, I am generous because it makes me happy.

THIS IS THE IMPORTANT TAKE-AWAY

The flip side of this, is you need to let people be generous to you. If you don't, you are denying them this same pleasure. It was epiphany I had a decade ago. Us independent types want to do everything for ourselves.

Countries should simply sanction these individual criminals. We do the same thing against war lords and terrorists such as the Lukashenko mob (unfortunately the EU lacks balls to actually sanction Lukashenko himself). If they get away with these crimes back home that's sad, but they should no longer be allowed to sip a coffee in Rome or have their wives go shopping in Paris (or visit their bank in Cyprus or Malta). This tactic works without the usual damage associated with economic sanctions.

Let's start with Bannon so he is no longer able to travel around Europe to give talks on strategy in front of local alt-right groups, or people like Eric Prince, Peter Thiel, and similar human scum. For sure the list would be long.

The products are built to be addictive.

That behavior is very dangerous to social progress and stability, of which there’s no care or accounting for in quarterly earnings that drive the incentives for this rhetoric.

This forum does select for particularly passionate engineers, that seem to be mostly in the US (assumption). The US happens to have the highest paying software jobs. Even still I feel like this forum selects for higher paid engineers through selection bias, and those willing to discuss salary are likely those on the higher end. I always forget this and feel a bit disappointed with myself when reading these discussions.

I checked indeed and it tells me the average US software engineer salary is $110k, and Cali being $136k. Indeed isn’t a perfect source but that seems more realistic than the idea you can get from here where people talk about $300k total comp

Oracle provide a lot of other software, similar to SAP, which are often used by enterprises. A lot of the time it all comes bundled together including a support contract. The database also has a few proprietary features which no other RDBMS provides.

The support is pretty good although it's usually only needed because the products themselves are filled with obscure bugs, edge cases and combinations of features which don't work well together.
Day-Trading: 'Origins of Financial Fluctuations in Inelastic Markets Hypothesis'

Nope. But anyone that needs one probably isn't a position to self-host and is going to require the services of a developer negating the costs of the services anyway.
