As a Swede living in Japan, I get this a lot from both directions! It goes further than "wellness" too.

My pet peeve is getting asked "I [heard/read] that people put chips in their arms there?!" (presumably for payments..?) - both by Swedes about Japan and Japanese about Sweden.

One difference I absolutely do see is what it means to "go camping". Growing up it usually meant bring your gear, hike out, picking some spot in the wilderness. In Japan that's something that is quite rare, "camping" almost always involves campsites.
you mean "because they could just use youtube-dl to download it?" I think that's why we are arguing that ytdl is a tool with legal and moral purposes and should remain accessible.
Whoa!!! Sorry, I'm not quite ready to swallow that particular red pill!!!:(!!

> Unlike doctors and grade school teachers, if programmers had more contact with end users, they'd probably get burned out faster. The things we build rarely make anyone happier.

The one time that this was not the case was a wonderful time in my career. I worked on software for photographers who worked in a studio down the hall from my office. They’d stop by in the morning with a suggestion or bug and I’d walk over at lunch with a solution.

One idea from “agile” that has resonated with me is that programmers should work closely with their customers. The most miserable projects have multiple layers of PMs refracting the idea away into nothingness.
What percentage of the population needs to be vulnerable for the entire population to be forcibly inconvenienced for their needs? When is it the responsibility of the vulnerable to protect themselves vs forcing society at large to protect the vulnerable? Certainly there is some threshold, considering that we didn't shut down society in the past for the tiny percentage of bubbleboys with no immune system. To call people sociopathic is to close your mind and not see the real gray areas. So to ask again, what percentage of society needs to be vulnerable in order for it to be ethical to coerce everyone to do something?

Wouldn´t it be better to have two options when you log in to Twitter? Safe space Twitter and wild west Twitter.
Then all sensitive people can log into a pink bubble and the rest of us can enjoy uncensored reality. Most people should realize that very few would choose the pink bubble. The line should be drawn at illegal content in the wild west Twitter.

You should trust other people to have the same ability as yourself to evaluate information.
Eh, this seems a bit presumptuous. I'd be more inclined to suggest that the people who code this projects are usually not designers, and they attract other contributors based on the code not any visual design... so as much as it would be nice for a designer to jump in and work on a visual overhaul I'd expect it to be unfortunately uncommon.
I just checked, and yes Twitter can, just like you can’t force any business you want to stock copies of the nypost.

Also nypost.com is a thing.

The reality is that plenty of sites use Twitter as an essentially free billboard ad. Then get upset when they’re told they can’t put whatever they want on a billboard on private property, especially one that they have no contract to use, nor pay rent for.
It does exist. I work for a ~30K software company, and they have a detailed pay multiplier scale depending on where you live. Furthermore, they will adjust your salary if you move from one area to another, and the rates are not insignificant.

Agreed, perhaps that's the best way.

> Wasmer the company might have been announced November 12 2019, but the open source project was around a year before that. I don't know what happened prior to that date to make the Bytecode Alliance members want to "veto" you as you put it, and maybe you're entirely blameless for that. As you point out, your trademark shenanigans hadn't taken place yet. But saying the "veto of Wasmer happened the same day it was announced" is misleading at best.

I think you misunderstood. I meant that Wasmer itself was vetoed from joining the Bytecode Alliance the same day that the Bytecode Alliance was announced. Wasmer was founded way before (as a company and a open-source project).

> But you appear to be quite bad at getting along with people.

I've played this game as a curiosity to see how far I could push my luck by offering myself + a relevant and talented friend that I trust. HR was completely unequipped to handle a packaged hire.

In this case the project the devs were previously working on had public visibility, so perhaps they may have been able to negotiate at a higher level.
I'm really torn on Xcode. The IDE is an amazing experience and some of the visual tooling is fantastic. On the other hand, it leaves so much to be desired as an editor. Lacking a well-supported VIM mode is my biggest frustration, but it's also missing so many other convenient features that have become common since the influence of Sublime.

It would be great to have multiple cursors, convenient line duplication and swapping, etc, etc. A option for "Submlime/Atom/VSC"-compatible shortcuts would be fantastic. A basic VIM plugin would be an even bigger productivity boost, though.
No, it doesn’t.

> I don’t get it. Who is 1. The minority 2. Dominant group 3. Oppressor?

...because we have reached peak nesting.

2 + 3 are the same thing - in this context, as we are talking about feminism, cis white males. Why cis and white? Because that is the demographic that has held the strongest monopoly on cultural and political power - from priests to politicians.

1. The minority (defined, in this case, as the class(es) with inferior cultural and political power) - is sort of the sticking point between a TERF and not-a-TERF.

If you are a TERF, you define the boundaries of this class as "assigned at birth biological women" - these are your compatriots for whom you march to get rights for. In your opinion, there is no Uncle Tomming happening, because you are engaging in the fight with all good faith that the oppressed (women by your definition) are being represented against the entrenched desires of the opressors (men).

However, if you are of the opinion that the circle of individuals deserving of representation includes both assigned-at-birth and Trans women, then by your standard, any woman who engages in the same oppressive behavior that men do (in targeting or singling out Trans individuals for derision / marginalization) is an Uncle Tom. They are more closely identifying themselves with the oppressor than the oppressed.

Mind you, this is not to say that
a) all cis white males are actively engaged in being oppressive
or
b) women, whether they are labeled as a Terf or not, are part of the oppressing class

...it is merely a distinction useful to those who are of the belief that as go one, go all, and that Trans women have just as much a right to be recognized as such.

edit: apologies, I suppose I just missed the appropriate 'reply' button, but I swear it wasn't showing up before.
After a certain point, all complex organizations/systems will be exhibiting undesired emergence while desired emergence is reduced. At that point it’s all about marginal gains. Also, consider different goals. If the goal of the company is to make things work for engineers, they have shortcomings. But their goal clearly is making money and that seems to be working very well.

I think the core ideas behind TCL are so simple and self-consistent that getting "deep" isn't required so much.

Instead it's just a case of using it. In the past I used TCL for "expect" and for the Tk graphical toolkit. I can't say I've written anything major in TCL, but I think that's a common-case. Most people use TCL because it is embedded in applications as a scripting language/DSL.

When people express interest in TCL I usually point them at antirez's simple writeup which gets a lot of the basics shown of in a simple manner:

There is a much better reference somewhere (possibly from Ingres times, or later), but here is Stonebraker describing how PostgreSQL ended up with connection-per-process in 1986:

> DBMS code must run as a sparate process from the application programs that access the database in order to provide data protection. The process structure can use one DBMS process per application program (i.e., a process-per-user model [STON81]) or one DBMS process for all application programs (i.e., a server model). The server model has many performance benefits (e.g., sharing of open file descriptors and buffers and optimized task switching and message send-
ing overhead) in a large machine environment in which high performance is critical. However, this approach requires that a fairly complete special-purpose operating system be built. In constrast, the process-per-user model is simpler to implement but will not perform as well on most
conventional operating systems. We decided after much soul searching to implement POSTGRES using a process-per-user model architecture because of our limited programming
resources. POSTGRES is an ambitious undertaking and we believe the additional complexity introduced by the server architecture was not worth the additional risk of not getting the system running. Our current plan then is to implement POSTGRES as a process-per-user model on Unix
4.3 BSD.

(THE DESIGN OF POSTGRES, https://dsf.berkeley.edu/papers/ERL-M85-95.pdf )

There is another reference directly related to Postgres or PostgreSQL that made it even more clear, I expect it was probably later on. In effect it indicated someone involved in the project had strong intentions of getting to adding threading "real soon now". I'll update the comment if I figure out where that's from.

Threads were still a research thing by the mid 80s, so its absence from such an old design is easy to understand. Pthreads wasn't even standardized until 1996, although several unices (e.g. SunOS) already had popular implementations long before that.
This is quite amazing!
Oslo has been actively limiting the expansion of the city into its surrounding green areas since 1934: https://oslobyleksikon.no/index.php/Markagrensen (link in Norwegian, translated: https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&...)

Markagrensen, "the forest border", was originally just a line denoting the areas that were so elevated that drinking water could not be transported there, but was quickly "hijacked" by organisations for friluftsliv as a sacred limit on the city's expansion. Markagrensen is upheld by a actual law today.

If you look up a map of Oslo, look at (1) the large green areas around the city and (2) the apartment buildings and houses built only meters from the border. That's the effect of putting a seemingly generous limit on growth 100 years ago.

Some people in the green movement uphold Markagrensen as a victory for the environment. I disagree: It pushes people to live in houses in the suburbs instead of in a densely populated city. It is a victory for friluftsliv.
Your boss clearly knows about this abuser and is totally ok with it. Time for you to try and find a new job and get out. Anything else is a waste of your time. Life is too short to be in a shitty job. Good luck.
I'm sorry, I did indeed misunderstand that. You were clear, I just parsed it wrong.

So the criticism in that paragraph is undeserved, I've removed it for clarity but will leave it here for posterity.

Hello, nice looking product and great copy. 2 points:

1. Make your screenshots english too, keeping the code structure and copy consistent. Unless you want to highlight i18n. But seeing Portuguese and English mixed sticks out to someone like me with a mildly severe case of OCD.

2. Can you mention the language I can use to hack or export the source code in? I assume it’s javascript but spelling it out at least once on the frontpage seems appropriate.

Good luck with it!

Tcl has saved my work in the past. I could create very quickly GUI command line programs for my reasearch.
Now that I am exposed a bit to Lisp, I wish Tcl also supported a Lisp syntax too.

In any case a very powerful language that is easy to learn and use.
By definition, it is not limiting for the types of applications it was created for. We might disagree on where to put the boundary around those applications. Historically, tools have always found uses beyond their intended purpose, and Go is unlikely to buck that.

It really comes down to whether, while working on a big system, you will discover a necessary task that a language cannot do well. This might be because it lacks a key feature, like bit twiddling operations, first-class functions, or operator overloading. It might be inherently just not fast enough to meet a deadline, or not consistently so. It might not know enough about types to prevent common mistakes, or might lack operations on types needed to direct compilation. It might lack the organizational features needed to make a large system manageable. That doesn't make it a bad language, but would make it an unwise choice for a project that might, as time unfolds, be found to need one or other such quality. Generally, the bigger a project is, the more unexpected requirements surface.

This is where we get to the idea of "dynamic range". A language with a wide dynamic range takes correspondingly long to learn. People skilled in it are harder to find and more expensive to hire, you have fewer of them ready to hand, and those you have are likely to be already busy. Yet, you might need more, and any you have more than earn their keep.

It's extremely rare for workloads that need high connection counts to utilize every connection to the extent that they're practically never idle. To the contrary, usually the majority are idle - latency alone leads to that, given the fast queries such workloads commonly have. Not to speak of the applications holding those connections usually also doing other stuff than sending pipelined queries (including just waiting for incoming requests themselves).
Have you thought about straight up reaching out to people in your network or their connections and asking nicely if they’d be up for mentoring you? I expect 90-95% of the responses would be lukewarm to nonexistent, and you shouldn’t take it personally—but every now and then you might find someone with some extra bandwidth and an altruistic attitude to give a shot at establishing such a relationship. It might help if the people you reach out to, are people you have something in common with: ideally, they would be able to see their past selves in you. (For me personally, that has been a big motivator to start such a relationship.)

That’s my take on mentors—and generally, I feel that mentors aren’t people who do this to get paid. Alternatively, if you’re looking for someone to take on the role of a tutor and willing to pay up, you could go on Stanford/MIT’s popular CS classes, find out who were the TAs last semester, and reach out to them offering 2x-3x the pay.

Right, in the next bit I said I just don't think the person asking the question yet has the mathematical tools to tackle either those courses or most of the things you'd get from searching the terms and they'll need to get some more basic stuff out of the way first.

The self-guided search from terms is obviously fine and it's way more than fine to offer to personally give some stranger on the internet pointers as you did.
It gets a fixed amount of money from Google for using them as the default search engine. But what I meant was Firefox has no means to actual generate an income in its own right. Mozilla have tried. The reactions have not been good.

The money from Google is practically a donation at this point. It's not exactly an altruistic one but it's not exactly a pure business transaction either given Firefox's current market share.

It sounds like they changed the settings on the protection relays synch check function to allow it to close the generator breaker with the generator out of sync. Or maybe they added a phase shift correction factor to the voltage transformer inputs so the relay thought the generator was in sync when it wasn’t. Either way changing some settings that allow a machine to be destroyed is ... not an achievement. Engineers all over the world put great care in to calculating and identifying the relay settings that will protect the machine instead of allowing it to be damaged. Uploading incorrect settings is like intentionally missing a basket in basket ball, it’s not very impressive.

I am sure generators have been connected to the grid out of phase and had their shafts broken before. I have seen a colleague accidentally jumper out the entire sync check circuit and we would have closed the generator breaker had the breaker’s close coil not been burnt out (the reason for the errant troubleshooting).

It is concerning that destroying this diesel generator was even necessary. Maybe they needed some good video to get some funding.

Now on the other hand if they somehow hacked the relay then that’s a problem. Older relays just had serial ports but new ones have Ethernet and you can send settings by ftp, and things I remember from bbs days like Kermit
Or zmodem or something. Not ssh yet anyway.

So yeah it is easy to do damage, you can shoot insulators or transformers with a gun or you could release a thousand squirrels or snakes and that would cause outages too.

One power plant was great it just never seemed to have any electrical problems. Someone went to update the relay settings after it has been operating for years and found out no settings had ever been uploaded to the relay!
Is the relativistic mass required to be dependent on the velocity or on the reference frame ? For most massive particles, depending on the one should be equivalent to being dependent on the other, right? Seeing as for massless particles , the velocity is always c and therefore "dependent on the velocity" doesn't really make sense, why isn't "dependent on the reference frame" the appropriate extension of the concept?
The [the quantity I described] definitely depends on the reference frame for which the photon is being described, because the photon's frequency and wavelength depend on ones reference frame.

I don't know why you brought up the photon traveling through different mediums. I've been assuming it was traveling through a vacuum. Bringing in a medium seems like it would just complicate things. Maybe you thought I was thinking of it moving in a medium so that it was sorta moving at less than c, so that there could maybe be reference frame for which it is at rest? This is not what I was thinking of. I mean to address only the case of a photon in a vacuum.

And yes, of course there would be no reference frame in which the photon's [the quantity I'm describing] becomes equal to its rest mass, which is 0. That is implied by what I've said, namely, that the [the quantity I'm describing] is never 0, but changes with the reference frame. There are reference frames in which [the quantity I'm describing] is arbitrarily close to 0, but none in which it is 0.

The footnotes at the bottom of the wikipedia article on "Photon" do describe photons as having non-zero relativistic mass, though also notes that some prefer not to use the concept of relativistic mass.
In any case, at the very least, if one is to speak of the relativistic mass of a photon, it is not 0. If anything it is either "nonsense quantity" or [the quantity I have been describing] . Not 0.
Ya, I moved to Sammamish, WA from the SF Bay Area, and people make too big of a deal about Washington rain. Ya it rains, but its a normal 4 season type of thing. Rain most of winter with some snow for like 2 weeks. Light showers mixed with sun in the spring. Pretty warm and sunny during the summer but not hot, then light rains and winds in the fall. People made it out and warned me about "Washington Rain" like it was going to be raining 360 days out of the year at torrential levels, with grey/dark skys and the apocalypse. Most of the time the rain is super light and gentle with no wind, and the sky is white if not broken up with blue sky
