Agreed. And this is a good part of the "real" grievance of both young people and working class minorities, especially in big cities in my opinion.

It's not working class wages haven't risen, they have. But, the costs of housing, healthcare, education and many other necessities have risen at a much faster pace, particularly in cities. These rises in cost are of course profits to someone so the economy is "booming. But it's become so distorted that it's becoming increasingly hard to keep up for the lower wage earners with no end in site. Of course the owners of assets don't see the problem. Their properties and stocks are appreciating nicely. And the fed has been encouraging this.

Now, one argument might be that if this wasn't occurring that low wage earners would be even worse off with no jobs and and there may be some validity to that point of view but the inequality of this isn't just an abstract ethical problem at this point but rather a system threatening problem. I don't know that there is an easy fix either. It often seems trying to fix one problem with rent controls, wage floors, progressive taxation etc. results in other problems. But the increase in costs of housing, medical care etc. while wages grow at a much slower rate isn't sustainable imo.

There is no such thing as "transgender ideology". You won't find those words on any credible sources.

There are transgender people who want to access their human rights. Transgender people do not choose their gender identity.
There’s plenty of valid criticism of the IMF and World Bank policies beyond John Pilger. And this makes sense as they wield incredible power especially against poorer nations. In particular they use the power of a small but influential cadre of wealthy people to make huge changes in foreign countries.

To say, as you’ve done down thread, that this is mere fiction I think is wrong. It sounds more to me like a viewpoint you’re unfamiliar with. Here is more reading on the topic:

Oh neat. I'm new to Santa Fe. Well, I've been here since January... but haven't seen much of the area due to lockdowns + newborn.
I'm still rocking a 65" Panasonic plasma connected to a laptop from the late 00's running an ancient build of ubuntu. That said, the TV still works flawlessly, even after everything around it died to 2 different lightning strikes. The old linux install still runs Hulu, Netflix, VLC, etc without difficulties, so I don't bother screwing with it.

It sounds like if I have to replace my TV, I am going to have to look into more expensive commercial offerings which aren't subsidized by Orwellian monitoring solutions.
I'm concerned about this. Google is eating up the education market. Not sure if there are alternatives, but my local school board has gone Google for remote learning.

So Google is now spying on children and knows how well they do in school.
Yup. That's where what GP wrote comes into play, though in the opposite role than they meant. There are at least three reasons you need to pace yourself at work:

One, peak capacity work is unsustainable over long term; there's no point in burning yourself out in the span of few months, because then you won't be doing anything at all.

Two, if your managers try to set up the workload at the level of your observed performance (or worse, try to squeeze more work by assigning a bit more things to do than were done the last time), then if you start going on afterburners, you'll set up an unrealistic baseline that you'll be later held accountable to. That's where cutting corners will start.

Three, systems with no slack are fragile. If everyone is constantly crunching and a genuine emergency pops up, nobody will be able to deal with it. There's probably some general principle in systems science that systems under full load are not optimal once you start doing risk analysis.

Good managers understand that, and will actively prevent you from getting yourself overworked - as developers are sometimes prone to do.

Hold up- so if Facebook puts any clause in their ToS, I could be sued by them for breaching it? I agreed to create an account there, but I didn’t read or understand the TOS.

Does deleting my account help? Or can they say in their tos that it’s perpetual? And oops I already agreed to that)l
Being omniscient this special molecule can tell which identical molecule is which in the gas, that's some interesting physics.

Of course it can also predict the final states of collisions between other molecules. Even when that information just doesn't exist in the perfect a priori knowledge about the system, which is something that if this special molecule could obtain somehow and then store for later use should violate half a dozen theorems or so.

Really this could make some sense if we were talking about an ideal gas of classical particles that obey deterministic mechanics, but then not even the special molecule would be able to determine the initial conditions with sufficient precision to make useful predictions, beyond a short path and a few collisions in the system.
I chose a trowaway account explicitly because I recognize this as a controversial topic. That does not mean I am not interested in discussion - I am, genuine discussion.

I don't know what a sea-lion account is. That doesn't mean it's not, but based on the perceived implication I don't think it is.

I'm not sure why it is acceptable to defame a company or its Founders. Inflammatory comments without citation are worth questioning. I am very interested in the assertion Palantir is a threat to liberty if it is true. And equally so if it is not.

As far as I can tell it is not.

Furthermore, if the discussion takes down a rabbit-hole that ultimately points to where the responsibility and accountability then all the better for concerned citizens.

It might be elected officials are where we should channel our energy, if it's intelligence and military, perhaps oversight should be the target. I don't claim to have any or all of the answers. It just seems odd to create a boogie-person in Palantir.

It's been said elsewhere in a similar fashion, but is database technology a threat to liberty? What about database administrators?

A "threat to liberty" is a pretty serious accusation.
I don’t know how it’s in Germany but Lidl in Spain basically have no grocery packing area at the end of the checkout so they are more or less throwing the groceries at you.
It's important to add that subscriptions from previous 0.7.3 version won't be carried during upgrade (it's in the blog post of course but I'll drop this info here as well) so backup these first if you're going to update your client.

I'm testing it right now and it feels definitely faster than previous one and it doesn't have issues with playback - videos are now launching immediately after pressing play button
720 to 4K is not the same as 480p to 720. The latter is far more noticeable. Most of the world hasn’t moved to 4K, I don’t see a huge amount of value in it personally.

> When your N is fixed (or even upper bounded), then it is always O(1).

I had to read this sentence over several times. I... think you've just filled in a missing piece of my college CompSci education.

Previously, I never really understand why we measured algorithms this way, beyond "it's a rough classification and nothing is perfect." What I didn't quite realize until just now is, this classification assumes N is a variable that could be any value in the universe—and so you have to optimize for that eventuality.

If N is known, the iterations don't matter—because of course they don't.

(Disclaimer: I've been out of college for a while and I don't use algorithms in my daily life, it's possible I just forgot this. Or that I'm making a fool of myself right now!)
"I think that this is also essentially saying that people want nice things for free (or at a very low cost). I don't think the original commenter is actually trying to blame people.."

My point was that free or unfree are not the issue here. It's just not true, just as its not true about advertising or data gathering. Free isn't what's making a problem. It was a problem before. Whether your business model is eyeballs (it usually is in print, online, paid or free), subscriptions or both the most important types of journalism aren't economical. They're generally produced because journalistic cultures value them. Those that don't generally just become tabloids.

Sending a journalistic team to Yemen to produce 10 articles is much more expensive than having people work from the office and produce 100 articles about politicians' and academics' opinions about that war... or articles about Kim and Kanye. A view is a view, a magazine sale is a magazine sale.

I'm not even sure people "want nice things" in the sense that they want quality journalism. We want them to have "nice things." It's important for society. Doesn't necessarily benefit the reader much.

Good journalism has always been hard to fund and rarely economically sustainable. Nothing to do with "people these days" or with "free."

It's related to FB and Google in a roundabout way. They are the monoliths. They get all the bread. People read the content on FB, and if you don't want to let them then people will read someone else's content. So people read the content on FB, and FB gets the ad money. FB doesn't have a journalistic culture, journalistic ethic, or any kind of ethic. It was the journalistic ethic that was enabling hard journalism to be cross subsidised. That ethic is now broke.

Are you suggesting that letting covid run loose is OK because society's overall death rate will be the same as it was 15 years ago?

That argument has severe moral and ethical problems.

I also think you're underestimating the impact of letting the virus run loose. Countries with very poor pandemic management have seen large increases in deaths. For example, Peru's death rate this year is 156% of what it was last year. And that is only half of the year, and summer. See https://www.ft.com/content/a2901ce8-5eb7-4633-b89c-cbdf5b386...

I was basically doing volunteer work in my field because I am medically handicapped and no longer drive. Most jobs in my field require a driver's license to apply.

I live in this town. I would be happy to help people succeed in developing it, but I was treated so badly that I don't even want to help these people anymore.

Anyway, I am doing my own thing and maybe that will finally pan out for me financially. The short version is I had a lengthy health crisis and I am more able to work now. So hopefully that will lead to more money, in spite of the world being a lousy place full of lousy people.

Why aren't developers in jail for this? Breaking into someone's email account and exfiltrating their data - disgusting. Clicking "OK" on a 500 page ToS doesn't get you out of this.

I'm so sick of this criminal behavior being brushed off as "growth hacking", "move fast and break things", or some other bullshit. The people creating this garbage should feel some shame and face real consequences.

When this happened to me I recovered my senses within about two weeks, but coffee smelt like a combo of burning plastic and rotting flesh for several weeks after. To this day (six months later), certain things smell different than they did before: low tide, poop, some foods when heated. [edit: and they all smell like the same thing]
With a mostly mild case, it took me three weeks approximately, for my full sense of smell to return.

I lost maybe 85% of my sense of smell, and 1/2 the sense of taste. I could no longer smell anything in the air, atmospheric scents. Like if you walk into a restaurant you might be able to smell food broadly in the air; I couldn't smell what was cooking on the stove six feet away. I could only smell something if it was right under my nose (within ~20-30cm). A lot of people seem to totally lose the sense of smell, I didn't reach that level (and it still took most of a month to return).

I'm not an expert on it, but I am a technical person currently working on the business side of the IT fence. And I frequently do (data-engineering heavy) consulting for clients who are similarly on the business side of IT. So none of the nifty ETL tools, data storage capabilities, or computing environments I have available when I'm on the IT side.

Power Query is a godsend in that scenario. It's a well featured ETL engine with integrations for a variety of systems, services, and databases (including generic JDBC/ODBC support). And has the ability to use direct HTTP calls when that's more appropriate/useful.

It also stores the data internally in a highly-compressed and optimized columnar store, independent of the "Excel data" on sheets. Which you can then either sync to a worksheet, or leave it in a state where the raw data isn't visible but can be accessed through a pivot table connected to it. So you can abuse it for far heavier work than you'd expect to be able to do in Excel.

And it's already there, sitting on virtually every business person's computer everywhere. Completely sidesteps the security, IT, procurement, and legal hassles you have to jump through to get a proper system. Not to mention user training - you can architect things in a way where all users have to do is maybe tweak a cell or two, then hit the Refresh button that's in the Ribbon. So the complexity of "learning something new" is completely absorbed on your side, and you're free of pesky support questions and hassles since you isolated them from being the new stuff (also making it harder for "accidental/I didn't press anything!" changes from users).

It's not perfect by any means and has a number of warts, usually falling short of more purpose-built solutions when those are options. But it's still pretty solid, and on balance has saved me far more frustration than it's caused. And without having to dip into the dreaded world of macros and VBA.
My experience is quite contrary to yours - those things are indestructible... Mine even survived a machine wash.
She's right. It even has a name, "jeitinho": https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeitinho
I had experienced loss both of smell (completely, kitty litter smelled like nothing) and taste (not completely). You still sense if something's salty, for example, but it's very remote. As an anecdote, the aubergine paste, which is usually off-putting and bitter to my taste (but smells nice) started tasting like nothing, really, so I happily ate my wife's supply. Soy sauce also seemed far less salty than usual. Taste remains, but very far, and smell is just lost. Very bizarre experience, would not recommend.

Yep. I watch flight trackers sometimes that show military aircraft, and there’s a great deal of activity that you wouldn’t expect at first.

There are often electronics intelligence aircraft (EMARRS) circling over Kansas City, I want to say. I first thought that was something to do with protests there, but upon investigation it’s only that there is a nearby base and they’re likely simply training missions. They certainly predated the protests and their frequency didn’t appear to change.
Yeah and maybe some people blamed Obama when their car wouldn't start, or people blame the restaurant when they spill hot coffee over themselves. There's a lot of things "some people do". With all due respect to those "some people", there is a limit to how much we coddle "some people" at the expense of generating more e-waste. Apple (and everyone else) should be held accountable for the damage they're causing to the environment by preventing repair of their products.

Do you expect Microsoft to ban Firefox and Chrome because "some people" might call up their helpline when Firefox and Chrome have bugs? At some point, it gets ridiculous.
Right. It's as if it is essentially a hacking tool, since the user of the extension would seemingly be violating the FB terms of service.

I won't talk about the headless part, but I will talk about WordPress based on my own experience.

It really depends how you use it, WordPress that is.

If your website needs to expand at areas where a vanilla version of WP would not suffice, with custom implementation either via functions.php in your theme or via plugin(s) you can achieve such thing, but with a coming price I'm afraid; bloated database with countless meta data.

Now, don't get me wrong.

If you are experienced with WordPress development, you could implement any solution you want in such way that each one of them would use their own tables and could solve your problem(s).

The thing is, if you need to spend so much time in customization and theme / plugin tweaking, then in my humble, yet naive opinion I would suggest to go with a framework than with WordPress for the sake of sanity; it's a lot easier and way cleaner to achieve the same task in shorter amount of time and effort.

Just...just trust me on that!

I have been doing this with WordPress and WooCommerce for a while now and I know the headaches I face every single time I have to come up with a solution for a customer.
I'd never heard of Pelican but I have to say their site is doing an really bad job at explaining what it does and how :)

I'd expect some screenshots and some points. All I learned from reading it is that it supports markdown but not really what kind of site it's for (e.g. blogs like wordpress etc).

I'm looking for a static generator to make a blog (static mainly for security and because I don't want to do anything complex anyway). But not sure if this will suffice.
That's a really good point.

I guess I should have sharpened the question a bit: "Would you prefer to have a job and family of your own?"

And, to those who have those things: "Would you prefer to be single and live with your parents?"

I suspect the answers to #1 would be mostly "yes", and the answers to #2 mostly "no".

Same thing happened to me -- and I also tested negative for antibodies about five weeks later. My partner (who had more of a flu-like illness) did test positive for antibodies though, so I'm very certain I had it. My hypotheses are: test was not specific enough, i fought it off quickly with t-cell immunity, or my antibodies fell off very quickly since I really was not sick (I had fever of 100 for about three hours and some burning pain in my nasal cavity and that's it)
