A better dividing line is:

Given the choice, how would someone living there most often visit a grocery store?

In an urban area walking might be the common mode.

In a suburban area driving is OFTEN going to be the preferred mode, and even in small cities (particularly ones still small enough to have free parking at a nearby grocery store) driving there is still going to be preferred; at least in the US. In my experience Bellevue WA is a small, still suburban like city, while Seattle has crossed the anti-car (and expensive real-estate) line to 'big city'; but is neither old enough (pre-industrial grocery store layouts) nor big enough to be a healthy big urban city.

Offhand, I would define rural as any area where a drive to the third closest typical grocery store is at least a one hour round trip (by car, at legal speeds, including delays at any traffic device or from commute volume).
It's completely crazy that most of the US uses paid bail. That can't be a good idea. On the other hand, it is true that when bailed some fraction of defendants won't show up.

I live in an English city and once in a while (when there was not a pandemic) I would walk into the city centre and attend some trials in one of our courts.

The last session in Magistrate's court most weeks is people who were supposed to be there for an earlier session and didn't show. So how are they there now? Well when they don't show the court orders police to arrest them, they get arrested and then to guarantee they appear they're sent to the cells until their case is called. Most of them look pretty sheepish. We are not talking about criminal masterminds here. You have a 10am court appearance, Police knock on the door at 2pm, your mum lets them in, they arrest you. Oh, shit, that was today? Oh, your phone has fifty messages from your lawyer asking where the fuck you are. Oops.

So this makes me think the most valuable tool for this problem would be a way to get defendants to actually do the introspection when a court asks them: Can we trust you to show up on this date and this time? Can they? Or are you just hopeless and it would actually be better to just imprison you a day or two before so that you're available?
In my case, mainly to lower the risk of supply chain attacks. Windows gaming and other such activity still includes a lot of “must run as administrator and does unclear things with this”, especially in anything with anti-cheat mechanisms as mentioned elsewhere, and there are environments (especially when dealing with mods) where you can wind up running code from dozens of randoms across the Internet in nothing approaching a meaningful sandbox. Popular messengers, video apps, etc. don't exactly seem trustworthy nowadays either.

I wouldn't want to try to directly deliver anything from such an environment that I would ask other people to run. Even my more-trusted development laptop feels scary at times, especially when I'm operating in environments where I have to do about the same thing as above with installing a dozen dependencies from who-knows-whom. I generally use separate build UIDs for some measure of separation in these cases, but we still have Linux and X being potential emmentaler attack surfaces, and I haven't yet arranged my workflow to the point that spinning up new virtual machines is trivial, especially because then you have a lot more friction with testing GUI software, sharing existing files, etc. etc.—most of the easier solutions to which seem to be very cloud-oriented and “when your Internet connection goes down, so does everything else”, which is something I insist on pushing back against in this context, including because “someone upstream did something unexpected and now everything is instantly broken in a way I have no real leverage over” is its own massive trust hazard.

My dedicated low-sensitivity machine isn't very powerful, so the cost wasn't as much of an issue as it could have been; it was a midrange laptop several years ago which I'm still using. If your workplace environment comes with its own hardware, then that's a thing too.

It would certainly be nice to have better, though, and the desire for less redundancy of costly hardware is legitimate. My desired setup from a while ago, which I never managed thus far, is to have more powerful hardware with multiple boot configurations, but not all of them persistently present like most multi-boot machines: instead, I would physically attach and detach system and user disks, assuming that firmware-level attack persistence is rare, and then rely on power-down flushing any lower-trust code before attaching a higher-trust disk. It'd be hard to ask most people to do this, though.
And certificate revocation lists (CRLs) are potentially more brittle in my experience, too.

It’s pretty easy to audit a server for a key in a file or a key file on disk.
With Steam's Proton, I haven't noticed a difference with Linux gaming. It works out of the box and has no significant issues.
6 pillars of self esteem is the best non fiction book i’ve ever read. an absolute must read for every living person. every person i recommend this to is understandably unenthusiastic and then is purely blown away.

In 2020 we has a lot of "online search" tools.

BTW, Mentioned article (from 2012) is not the same topic (except its also about LibreDWG).
In production systems when something goes wrong is very common to ask customers/support team for logs. In most cases customer need SSh access or some role to collect this info. By the time they get to those, they are gone. In my experience to really scale a service you need OOB logging tools and automation to perform actions around errors in logs
Disable javascript or open it in private tab.
The problem is that different sets of people have different beliefs about what constitutes accountability and responsibility. For example, the article criticizes algorithmic moderation of terrorist content as an abdication of responsibility, but many groups argue that manual moderation is an abdication of responsibility - the EU is considering a law that would require Facebook to algorithmically moderate terrorist content.

That doesn't mean, of course, that nobody can have an opinion on what the right thing for Facebook to do is. But you can't abstract over the substance of the criticism and say Facebook isn't "addressing these kinds of issues" without specifying whose standards they ought to follow.
Which is an absolutely reasonable complaint. Pervasive monitoring of users is not an acceptable practice.
My favorite sans-serif font is Meta by Erik Spiekermann which is described as the anthesis of Helvetica. It appeals to my exact nature and has humanist touches like the bend at the top of ascenders (b, h, k, l). Fira Sans is a free alternative that is derived from it and works well when Meta is not an option. For code samples, Fira Code pairs well with it.

Why Silicon Valley CEOs are such raging psychopaths
There's a lot of good advice in this thread, and I've read your responses to many of them. I want to bring up the possibility that your feeling of impending doom in your professional capacity is actually more a reflection of the significant personal and financial stresses that you've been going through, rather than due to any real inadequacies in your engineering ability. If you've been able to lead a team for half a decade successfully, then you would definitely count as a capable senior engineer. From one of your other replies, it sounds like you've stopped reading professional books. That's completely understandable due to what had been going on with your father (RIP, condolences). So before you do anything rash career-wise, I would advise you to take a break, get your own mental and physical state back to a more healthy state, and then see if you're still having the same panicky thoughts regarding your career.
Your question, and explanation, read as malicious to me. Here you are explaining to someone that they weren't harmed by being fired because they managed to get another similar job two years later.
Yes, over geologic time, nearly anything has no chance of survival. And, yes, the lifetime of such a civilization may be a window that is, geologically, basically invisible.

But an industrial civilization makes a LOT of stuff, and much of that is quite durable and easily recognizable as artificial, and is likely to be scattered all over the planet.

Given that there are places that preserve tracks over 300 million years old, and fossils, well, up to 4 billion years old, I have a hard time imagining that a worldwide civilization that's producing and using aluminum and titanium and ceramics and all sorts of other stuff on a wide basis would not leave something recognizable in basically all the available fossilizing environments. We might not ever find fossils of the species, but are we really not going to find anything from the million refuse dumps and cities and industrial facilities and whatnot, or millions of miles of roads, or the multi-billions of accidental losses bound to be all over the world?

Not to mention objects in high orbit or on the lunar surface, which is a whole other thing.

You have to posit a really limited civilization before I believe it.
I generally prefer linux, but need windows for work related stuff (excel and visual studio). I have a full version of linux installed for duel-boot purposes and I still use it a bit, but WSL is getting better and better to the point where it's hardly worth it to have two OS's installed. It takes up space; it means that I have two dev environments to keep in sync with each-other; and restarting my computer to get from one to the other is a hassle. On my next computer, I might not bother installing two OS's and just stick with windows/WSL.
This is pretty much why in Asia and Europe people dont have large families, nor large dogs, nor buy massive boxes of goods from warehouse stores. National parks you should be good.
Why can't your developers be "devops people"?
People will often make choices of accepting an inferior product for vastly cheaper price. So yeah it is possible it is about how many choices you have and what are the different costs for each choice.
While it is true anyone can be a journalist not anyone is, just as anyone can be a novelist. This is distinguished by conduct and product and that distinction has legal consequences.
I haven't done sales, but look up Brian G. Burns on LinkedIn. Dude does a lot of short videos on sales (many of them generally applicable, though) with really good insights. How to communicate better, move towards action, etc.
> what’s best for society at large

The idea that simply slowing cars down is best for society at large is a big claim. It might help in some ways, but it will hurt in others.
Yes, I’d also guess the dev was not a Latin scholar and that this assembly required a thesaurus.
> Isn't the whole idea of the word "DevOps" to eliminate such distinctions?

No, it doesn't eliminate such distinctions. My view of DevOps is more about ensuring that automation is used as much as possible to meet objectives.

It's definitely not about making everyone a homogeneous developer unit that can work on every problem.

People come in all shapes and sizes, some are more competent with certain things than others, others have a lot more experience with certain things. That's aside from the whole preference thing - not everyone wants to or has an interest in managing infrastructure.

Maybe when you have a handful of developers and a small set of infrastructure, that's fine - but at a certain point you start to require more and more specialised knowledge. Yes, even when you're all-in on Cloud and using all the SAAS/PAAS products out there.

>Otherwise 99.99% of the time infrastructure will not acknowledge of investigate anything complicated or subtle with just one service owner complaining.

Yeah, that's an organisational problem from the sound of it.
>> The thing is, your attitude is stuck in the 90's and Microsoft's isn't. They used to write software for many different platforms and they're starting to do that again. Microsoft definitely cares less now if you run their software on Android, iOS, Windows, or even Linux. They're going to make money off of you either way.

I think it's more of a market position change rather than an attitude change.

Microsoft had significantly more market share in the 90's and used that market share to get their way no matter what. Desktop computing was the dominant way most people used computers and Microsoft was king.

The rise of cloud computing and mobile caused Microsoft's dominant position to slip. They lost the cloud to Linux. They lost mobile to Apple and Android. They still have majority on desktop computing, but that too is under assault from Chromebooks in education and non-Windows tablets for "consumption-heavy" and casual computing.

>> They used to write software for many different platforms and they're starting to do that again. Microsoft definitely cares less now if you run their software on Android, iOS, Windows, or even Linux.

They have to. If they don't embrace other platforms they would dwindle. If Microsoft software was only available for Windows, many consumers would rarely use their products. Office 365 exists so Microsoft Office can live on as a web application and there-by be available for practically all devices.

>> They're going to make money off of you either way.

Exactly. They have adapted quite well and have demonstrated remarkable resilience and versatility. However I believe that they were compelled to change due to a loss of dominance rather than a change of attitude.
"Surface RT" / "Windows RT" was never intended to be sold by other OEMs though.
You got everything wrong. Tesla is doing it right by hitting the high-end market first, while they are ramping up the production. Once they know how to automate everything, they will go for cheaper cars.

It's not like they are sitting on a massive supply of cars that nobody wants to buy. They sell them all.
Neue Haas Grotesk was revived to restore the small details lost from Helvetica, so if you aren't very particular you may as well use the easily-available Helvetica. There's plenty of more interesting typefaces than Neue Haas Grotesk or Helvetica though.
Pet Sounds is also the more important of the two seminal rock albums, has aged better, and is actually the best Beach Boys album, as opposed to Sgt. Peppers, which isn't the Beatles best.
Not sure what you mean about you need big cars in winter. Scandanavia, Russia, Ukraine, Japan etc do just fine with regular size cars.
The caveat: the $4000 version doesn't have AC nor airbags. It's road legal in China. If you only use it for commuting then it's probably fine because mostly you'd be stuck in traffic jams and moving slowly anyway.
Very cool. I'm building a similar thing for platformers (not in Haxe though) https://jump.club
How you smell depends on a lot of things including diet.

I’d imagine body odour carries many markers for pheromones. If I were a betting person, I’d wager that those who shower often get laid less.
Ah the classic ivory tower argument where some “other class” of engineers are universally inept, but not “my class!”

You can write the same screed full of generalizations from the perspective of any job title: a devops person would lament the fresh-out-of-bootcamp “application developers” who have no idea how systems work together so write SQL queries that retrieve a million rows, one at a time. “Works on my local!”
Oh, thanks.
The HN thread when that came out was good (see below). The list of books by the author have such a good collection of covers.

So you faced what seems like an ultimately mild consequence for a publicly-held and socially unpopular position.

And this is the cancel culture we're all supposed to be worried about, really?

What would have been, in your estimation, the appropriate consequence for working to deny marriage rights to gay people in California? Please don't say "nothing," i.e. no consequence.
Except that pulchritude beats disharmonious for over a hundred years. And even now, it’s half as common as disharmonious, which is a commonplace word. But if you think that a word like “disharmonious” is in any sense rare, then I don’t think I can convince you with data.
Indeed. One of the first things I did after adopting a package was remove a well understood and unnecessary exploitive. One person noticed and gave it the looking eyes emoji.
It really is worth it if you get past that part, which I completely agree is a total slog. The audiobook is very well done. Things pick up considerably once you get to Apert.

To start, you should purge everything you think "sales" is. Good sales teams are process and data oriented, talk to customers about solving real problems, and have great long-term relationships with customers. I think your comments about being talkative and being emotional are really just about the phases of sales you'd worth most about which are the introductory meetings and final pricing stages. You can hire plenty of people that can coach you through that.

Whatever culture you are building for you company should be adaptable to your sales org as well, so I'd say you start there. Work the opportunities yourself, start tracking them in a spreadsheet, do write-ups for the company about the wins and loses, and use your founder hustle to get started. It won't be as daunting as you think.
It's definitely not that polished, but I don't know about “extremely hacky”… how complicated are people's Emacs setups nowadays?

I installed the official Windows binaries for GNU Emacs pretty recently, copied my elisp directory over, and for the most part things worked out of the box, but with a few inconvenient exceptions: taskbar pinning didn't seem to work properly due to the awkward emacs/runemacs distinction, and some things related to directory layout and navigation were painful due to assumptions of a Unix-style home directory clashing with Windows's user-directory layout. No WSL involved.
Fair enough.

I do know that much of Europe is something less than urban by this measure, and they seem to get by fine with a lot fewer cars, and the cars they have are almost always much smaller than ours.

Perhaps this is one of those self perpetuating problems.
My line is shared with MTA and has/had express trains for their stops further out. Those trains save 15 minutes but are of no use to me and "steal" a time slot for a normal train I could use. Most have been removed in the past two years due to service reductions.
> Is it reasonable to expect Facebook to do all those things, compared to other choices that are consistent, neutral, and inevitably result in various type I and type II errors with respect to the nature and purposes of posts related to violence?

That is their responsibility. If they have an unreasonable amount of responsibility, then it follows that they have an unreasonable amount of power. The solution is to take away that power, not to live with it being wielded uncontrollably.
But in this case he’s not writing his own song that just happens to sound exactly like another song (which is an entirely new can of legal worms); he’s stating that his intention is to create a print representation of an existing song. So your argument falls apart on those grounds.
Got any crash test results / videos? I'd never buy a suicide-mobile, which most really cheap cars are.
Silurian Hypothesis
Of course it is! Maybe I'm not understanding your perspective here, because I can't really imagine an argument for this position. If someone posted that first video on HN, the one where a guy gets shot in cold blood, surely you don't think it would be equivalent to destruction of evidence for the mods to take it down.
I don't use WSL but I use a Linux VM that I just RDP into.

I run Windows on my personal computer, and just have a Debian VM I use for work.

When it's time to work, I just click an RDP shortcut and 3/5 monitors turn into work monitors. I still have easy access to my Windows stuff on the other two for the non-work related stuff I keep open all day (Spotify, Discord, etc).

When work is done, I just close the RDP session. All my work stuff stays open. I don't need to worry about saving any state, or restoring it the next day when I start work.

Also completely obviates any sort of driver or hardware issues. Stuff that's simple on Windows (e.g., using any of the multitude of USB/thunderbolt laptop docks) is just a friggin' nightmare on Linux.

It's not uncontrollable. It's just controllable by a heterogeneous set of people with different goals, ideals, and policy prescriptions. Splitting up Facebook's power among a dozen smaller networks wouldn't change that fundamental conflict.

Have you built a Hackintosh? I have, the only two parts that require any consideration are the Motherboard and the GPU, and even then enough Motherboards are fine as to say really the only consideration is the GPU. I admit you pretty much have to use a stock AMD GPU, if you’re ok with essentially this one requirement then you’re set, if not then yea you didn’t spend your money wisely.

Personally I loathe seeing Pinterest come up in my Google searches. So I use a "custom" search in chrome that just sticks "-inurl:pinterest" after all my searches. Perhaps that may be an option for you.
No.

What good is a search engine if it doesn't try to point you in a direction where there's a result (even if that direction has a wall (door) that requires payment.

Well, in the ideal world they would show any matching results their crawler saw, but Google already censors a lot of legitimate results, because of local laws.

As for the topic your asking about. I say Google should not remove results, especially if your only issue is a paywall.

Here is some info regarding paywalls and Google.

+1 to this. I love my Tesla, but when we decided to pick up an EV for my wife to use, the Bolt was the obvious choice $6K out the door for a 3 year lease at 15K miles/year. $20K if you'd like to roll the dice and buy it outright.

For what she will save on gas compared to her previous ICE daily driver, the Bolt is practically free.
