It should be noted that although it was terribly designed the Commodore 1541 disk drive was by far the most common peripheral sold with the machine. It was fairly uncommon for C64 owners to load off of tape unlike other 8 bit systems. Loading off of vinyl requires even more hardware hackery (building the adapter cable) so I wouldn't be surprised if you're right that only a few dozen people have ever done it.

As terrible as the 1541 was, it was still better than the touchy unreliable tape drives of the day, which were generally just cheaply built audiocassette players. It was a factor in making the C64 so dominant in its era.

> over the decades indicated that the only thing they really care about is ticket price

No, this is an incorrect inference. A better explanation is that people have little money to spend, so in this situation they prefer to get something rather than no travel. Your explanation would be valid only if everyone had enough money to buy expensive tickets and always preferred to buy the cheap ones instead.

It is also funny that for affluent consumers they reach the conclusion that such consumers "prefer" comfort, when in fact they're not different from anyone else in this matter, they just have more money to pay for it.

This is people in prison, not people sent to prison. Given that violent crimes have longer sentences, wouldn't that skew the existing count in prison considerably towards violent offenders, even if many more people are sent to prison for other offenses?

Further, because there would be shorter sentences, you're far more likely to encounter a candidate with a lesser sentence.
Things wrong with dongles:

1) You have to select them (not an easy task when trying to make sure it has all the compatible ports and power requirements)

2) Increases the number of things you can forget to bring that can make your laptop unusable/less useable

3) They detract from the clean Apple aesthetic

4) They increase the cost of your setup, sometimes significantly if you want to match the Apple quality. MacBooks certainly didn't get cheaper when they switched to USB-C only.

I did not have any dongles before Apple moved to USB-C, so I didn't have to deal with any of the above. Also, none of these things needed to happen! Apple could have done what they usually do - gradually transition. Add 1-2 USB-C and then only eliminate the other ports when most folks could do without.

EDIT: One more thing to add - this "transition period" is probably going to last 10+ years for me because I bought a $350 Kinesis Advantage keyboard with a USB Type A connector. It's a solid keyboard that I expect will live at least 10 years.
Yes, and we have artifacts (I believe they're called antiques :-)) from that time too that tells us what color clothes were, signs, etc. So we should be able to do alright.
the scamming was somewhat humorous, but aside from that if an employee of mine was also working for one of my direct competitors I would not be happy no matter how good their work was, especially as it would probably have the potential of opening me up to liabilities (and of course opening up my competitor to liabilities, but I worry about mine not theirs so much)

No it uses USB-C PD!

It's just incorrectly implements the switch to an alternate mode which it uses for it's duck which causes 3rd party docks to fry switches.

It's generally more sensitive in that alternate mode as it draws more power.

The dock itself is a different matter.

But the switch does implant USB-C PD just fine.

I'm frequently charging it with my laptop charger and many people do so as far as I know.

It's also why using a power bank with the switch works just fine.

There is a lot of violence in public schools in developed countries outside of the US.

I went to a public school in Australia in a relatively wealthy area and saw multiple gang beatings. One guy beaten so badly that he was knocked out cold for over ten minutes with people jumping on his head.

I know for a fact it's worse in less wealthy areas.

Australian public schools don't have shootings but there is enough to fuck up kid's development. They always descend into honor culture violence. I'm speculating but I do wonder if it's significant part of the problem that poor Black communities in the US face. These young boys thrown into a pit in a status game where they have to prove themselves and become brutalized in the process.

One solution to that is private schools where the staff are accountable to paying customers who won't stand for this violence. Low tier bureaucrats who can't get fired in public schools just don't care or can't stop it.

There are exceptional public schools with no violence, often they're selective, but they're rare.
That “complicate everything” attitude involving several extra items of hardware (Apple Watch, AirPods, and of course an iPhone to configure the watch) and at least a couple services (phone provider, Apple Music or Spotify) is frankly distressing.

I have all of the above (iPhone 11 Pro, Apple Watch 6, AirPods Pro) and yet I still rely on my colour-coded last-generation iPod Shuffles when I want to just pop in a pair of earphones and have some favourite tunes that suit whatever mood I’m in (or want to put myself into). Why on earth should one have to spend so much money to achieve the same result (and forgo the elegance of simplicity in the process)?

“Choice tips the balance of learning: for the same action and outcome, the brain learns differently and more quickly from free choices than forced ones.”

This makes sense; you have to think through why you are making the choice you are making if it’s a free choice- if it’s a forced choice, you don’t. You could, but why expend the effort if you don’t have to?

Maestro writeup: https://maestro-framework.github.io/

------------------

When I learned software engineering, I learned the fundamentals from the ground up. Because of my solid foundation, I can learn any skill very quickly and understand it wholly along the way.

I recently created Maestro, a framework for rapid iteration of serverless orchestration workflows using AWS Lambda and AWS step functions. It enables developers to easily create whole workflows and deploys and tears down the associated AWS resources ~60x faster than the closest competitor, AWS SAM. I highly recommend that you read the writeup at https://maestro-framework.github.io/.

Some perks of hiring me

==============

I'm a bit younger than most, but only because I worked my ass off (smartly too--I didn't waste time) full time 60+ hours per week for extended periods of time. So I'm smart, have energy, and am an extremely quick learner (as described above).

------------------

I'm looking for software engineering roles, preferably infrastructure or backend, and full stack is also great.
Hey all, posting on behalf of my wife who is fantastic graphic designer. She's had lots of experience in print and digital design, including at the DTC kid's clothing brand Primary Kids, where she was responsible for email campaigns, social campaigns, direct mail, catalogs, webpages, and product packaging. As a first-10 hire at a small startup, Meryl wore many hats, managing campaigns, hiring other designers, and generally producing creatives wherever creatives were needed.

Meryl especially loves print design, and left Primary to start her own wedding stationery business, Jubilee Paper. She works primarily for clients with six-figure weddings and her work has been featured on Ruffled and The Knot. Working for these clients is just as much about exquisite design as it is an exercise in client and stakeholder management, managing vendors, and keeping all manner of production on schedule. Meryl consistently stood out to her clients as an excellent and organized project manager.

As COVID has dried up a lot of the wedding industry, Meryl's seeking another full-time Graphic Design role. She's very open to other DTC opportunities as well as the wider print & publishing industry, including primarily digital roles.

I doubt there is one.
I don't know? I don't understand what you're getting at.
There is such an astounding amount of bad faith commentary in your reply that I'm just honestly shocked you can put so many ridiculous words in the mouth of a stranger based on a single sentence while simultaneously taking both the intellectual and moral high road. I'd try and discuss this further, but you clearly have zero interest in an actual discussion or in examining your views.
> can people with no tools, with no type-script, are they capable of using modules?

With a "modern framework"? Probably not. At least not with current documentation.

With everyone's classic "framework" Vanilla JS? Yes, absolutely. There's nothing stopping anyone. It's rather easy, and I've done it for small projects at this point.

There's one subtle change to the SCRIPT tag (type="module"), and new syntax to learn (if you haven't already learned it from Typescript or Babel), but that's it.

Sharing modules "just works" if you use what has always worked in SCRIPT tags: URLs. You don't need "import-maps" if you have URLs you trust (and "cool URLs don't change"), and Deno is exploring that as well as the way forward for "server side" applications as well that you can build complex dependency graphs solely on top of URLs.

Sure, "modern frameworks" are built on top of a house of cards of CommonJS (and sometimes still ancient AMD/UMD/weirder) dependencies, Node-style "bare" imports (imports by package name only, imports without file extensions, etc), npm package.json configuration and file meta (contributing to Node-style bare import complexity), and other issues. It would be a amazing if we could just rip the legacy code band-aid off and presto every "modern framework" would be ES2015 module native and just an `import framework from 'https://myawesome.framework.example/myawesome.js'` away. Deno has even pointed out that we can automate more of that (than we currently do) and move the "bunch of tools" to the the servers that serve the URLs, there could be a service out there for `import { React, Vue, etc } from 'https://oldworldnodetomodernmodules.example/modern-framework...'` doing all the hard "tool" work and bringing "people with no tools" to the same table, if that were something we cared about doing. (Just as web hosts like unpkg have helped a lot of SCRIPT tag only people able to use npm dependencies for years now.) (ETA: But again, that's useful for old code with legacy dependencies; new code could be entirely written with URLs as the "package manager" no sweat. URLs are just as capable of most of the complexity we put up with from npm.)
It’s 1 cent if you’re lucky. I’d probably value an airline mile (or hotel point) at $0.003 or less, based on my usage patterns and comparing the USD price versus the point/mile price.
They're not distracting, because those underlying questions shape your reaction.

Murder is considered one of the worst offenses in any society. But this person was already punished by society, and seen fit by the law to return to it. So what could explain your continue (and very understandable) discomfort? Is it because you believe that the penal system did not properly make this person safe to return to society? Is it because that once someone has committed such a terrible crime that they are inevitably going to be able to do so again, because they have the psychological profile to do it? Such a person is more likely to slip into violence? Finally, does it mean that such a person is forever marked as fundamentally dangerous and unworthy of reintegration?

After the visceral recoil that is an instinct that preserves safety, you have to examine why you are so opposed to working with someone who has committed such a crime. Because we claim to live in a free society that gives people the liberty to pull themselves up from the bootstraps no matter their circumstances, yet discriminates against those who have done the time. Because we claim this society is built upon Christian and post-Christian Enlightenment principles, yet we reject the power of redemption and modern methods of recovery. It's fine to have such an opinion, but you have to justify it, because it's an example of how our society operates.
What about:

Making money (cryptomining, CCN theft)?

Stealing data (SSNs, other identity documents)?

Ransoming the data for money?

In the end of the day, most cybercrime is focused on making money, so wiping a system has zero utility (especially as it would tip off the owners to your presence).

There is a way to talk to the moderators, and whining in a comment isn't it. Threatening a cyber attack in response to a downvote probably isn't the right way to talk to the moderators either.

If someone has a problem with the moderation on this site, email the moderators. I've done so many times and they have been very honest and responsive. If you've reached out to them and you don't feel they're being honest and responsive, no one is forcing you to use this site. Sometimes I get fed up with the people and/or mods too (I don't always 100% agree with their actions including actions taken against me) and I take a break for a while, go visit other sites and engage in other communities.

What I don't do is threaten a cyber attack on an open-registration Internet forum because someone clicked a button next to my comment.
Your comment has its share of weirdness as well.

This casual tone coming from Mozilla, in a year where they've laid off entire devisions of their business[1] seems a little out of touch. I think they have a lot of work to do in repairing their brand, and showing their core following that they can be trusted.

I think Mozilla might need a little bit of self-love.

Why writing by hand makes kids smarter
I agree. Given some circumstance or set of them, the overwhelming vast majority of people are capable of extreme violence.

What is scary is those who enjoy violence and causing harm. My grandma worked in the next cube over from a guy for years. "Nicest guy ever." He spent his weekends cutting people into parts and mailing the the parts around.
We had someone who worked at my company that was convicted for second degree manslaughter for bludgeoning someone to death with a hammer. He was always chill around me but I think companies should have the right to decide whether or not they want to hire people with a record like that.
