If we had universal health care in the US and a sufficient supply of small, low cost housing in walkable neighborhoods, that would dramatically shrink how much one needs to simply subsist. If it were possible to make life work as a single adult with a part-time job, then people could pursue building their future as they see fit.

With healthcare, housing and transportation being the three biggest cost burdens in the US, taming those would go a long way towards letting "the 99 percent" enjoy life again and stop being prisoners of a broken system.
It is meaning server-side dynamic content. That JS won't consume any noticeable CPU or RAM resource, it'll just be a static file pretty much always in memory, no templating engine in the web server process, no database hits, etc. All the significant processing load is either client-side or on another server (unless he is hosting his own analytics service), in fact the scripts are probably served by the analytics service servers too so even that miniscule impact is felt elsewhere.

This appears to be a solid release, just as stable as 32 for me.
Generally, yes. But also we’re a bit unlucky that it isn’t very deadly: SARS was way deadlier To start with but as a result spread several orders of magnitude less (both naturally and because humans had a stronger reaction to “shut it down at all costs“).

The H1N1 virus from the 1918 pandemic grew less deadly over time, and essentially evolved into a seasonal flu that is still affecting people around the world today. Personally, I expect COVID19 to go the same way.
You must have the forgiveness of a saint to still be friends after something like that. I hope your friend has genuinely changed.

MySQL (and PostgreSQL, for that matter) isn't bad at handling queries, when the tables are tuned for those queries. People don't do this well (if at all), and few databases are capable of automatically tuning tables (creating indices), since they require resources, and can have tradeoffs between read and write performance.

Properly tuned, a database is able to handle millions of requests per second.

> A bit of friction, if applied correctly, is not a terrible thing

I observed the same thing in a different context in my previous gig doing Linux training. We strived to make our books as clear and simple as possible. When we discovered streps in our labs that confused students, we would rewrite them to avoid repeating the problem in future classes. Eventually I started noticing a tipping point where if the lab did too much hand holding students would disengage mentally and start having more problems instead of fewer.

I’ve tried sharing this insight with the UX designers at my current gig, but for some reason they’re skeptical when I suggest making our UI harder for customers to use. ;-)

Ya, frankly, the effectiveness of propaganda scares me, deeply. How do I know what I know, with any certainty, if I'm so easily manipulated.

The exploitation of our cognitive "loopholes" is the best case against Freedom Speeches™. Paraphrasing: We're not rationale, so countering falsehoods with truthiness simply cannot work.

The only legal mitigation I can think of is authenticate (optionally) speech. Just like the authenticity facets of the replication crisis. Meaning show your data, cite your sources, sign your works. And then maybe over time our culture learns to discount anything unsourced and unsigned.
What form of criticisms are possible with BY-SA that aren't with BY-CC? Criticism would usually come in the form of new papers which merely reference the previous one.
The COVID-19 mortality rates are dropping all the time and are at 0.2% now (barely higher than normal flu). I see no reason to prevent the virus from spreading now because it is not dangerous anymore.
that's probably their public reasoning but unlikely to be the real reasoning.

In defense of anyone managing WordPress, its database schema is not well-normalized or organized (last I checked, it still had something like 6 tables).

That scenario (in general, not referring specifically to WP anymore) makes database indexing/optimization much more expensive at webhost scale, because you potentially have columns that range in size from empty to 1MB.

That's why most WP users have gone deep down the rabbithole of view-level caching, because optimizing an uncached result is so much harder in that environment.
Exactly, I agree. Think about 100 years from now — our bodies won't have evolved quick enough (much like our fight or flight mechanism dealing with the stresses of today) to be able to cope.
Yea, but you can enable the old cgroups pretty easily, and then it only require a couple of firewall instructions to get docker working.

Edit: This still works in 33: https://fedoramagazine.org/docker-and-fedora-32/

The only difference between what they have here and what I do is that I install docker-ce from the 31 repo, as the seem to have some SELinux related change in there that doesn't require me to label volumes like installing moby-engine does.

Hey, author here. Currently you can sign in with GitHub/Google to sync History, Collections and Environment variables. But syncing with a Git repo isn't available yet.

Yeah, but what's the scenario where isolated medical records put in trash turn into a massive extortion scheme like this?

It even turning into a small-scale extortion scheme seems unlikely. Records are in trash AND someone finds them in trash in the relatively brief period before they wind up landfilled or incinerated, AND they decide to take them and track down the people who they belong to for purposes of extortion? I mean, sure, it could happen, and it's not a good thing for medical records to be in the trash. There are no "guarantees".

Physical records are clearly much much lower risk though.
Mystifyingly leaves out the breaches from government offices -- Deeds Office, Home Affairs and, indeed, the State Security Agency. Dismally incomplete.
You're complaining about criminals having anonymity in a discussion about privacy. The technology enabling bitcoin is cryptography itself. There's no putting it back in the bottle, and we'd still want it anyway.

We simply need data to be as well protected as the criminals can protect their financial transactions.

It's probably because there are lots of non-C++ programmers who are curious about C++.
It did not say it requires experienced manpower, I said it requires a lot of it, and importantly, constantly. It's easy to find a bunch of "fanatics" that will rise to the ocasion to "defend their freedoms" right now. But that is not what these projects require. On the other hand, it's hard to have volunteers who will keep doing the _menial_ changes for years as the different websites change their HTML/layout. Anything less and the tool loses a huge chunk of its usefulness.
For most programming very little time is spent on actually implementing algorithms. It's more about designing and organizing your code and data. Few people are sitting down for 8 hours a day and banging out leet code style algorithms.

How exactly did this get on the front page? The webpage itself is a mess and the article contains nothing of any substance whatsoever.
I agree that the visa application (as an indian student who's had to go through it multiple times for internships/education) is time consuming, expensive, and harrowing.

I was stunned to find out that visa applications to the EU occur through a private entity, VFS global (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VFS_Global).

> The outsourcing company has been accused of "extorting" and "mistreating" vulnerable visa applicants... Additionally, the company was also reported to be under investigation for "allegations of abusive market dominance and unlawful tender procedures, resulting in excessive visa application prices and hidden fees.

Fun problems included getting bank account information, a whole host of personal information, and 'strong ties' to my home country. I'm a student, /of course/ I'm poor! I'm a student, /of course/ I'm unmarried! /of course/ I can't visit the application center thrice, I have classes and exams! I had to pay extra to get my visa application "fast-tracked" so it would arrive on time! To date, I can't shake the belief that I've experienced "kafkaesque" in flesh and blood.

The silver lining was, as always, people. I had super super supportive advisors/HR folks at companies and universities I went to work at who helped me every step of the way. It was insane how much paperwork there was, and how they dealt with all of the paperwork deftly.
Yes agreed. Every technology has downsides.

This isn’t just limited to Bitcoin. It applies to encryption and privacy in general. Should people be allowed to permissionlessly create accounts on networks, and have private communications in which they can organize large activities or effect large value transfers, or should we as a society go after every such network to shut it down?
I can't tell which side you're arguing for: more awful things to be done to sentient creatures, or pointing out that we should stop doing awful things to sentient creatures.
That brings us back around to the extermination of a phrase from the article "common cultural experiences".

Consider the cultural difference between the gen-x experience of "every gamer" knowing the first level map of FPS game "Doom" vs the experience of never meeting another human playing in a procedurally generated space game like Elite Dangerous or No Mans Sky.

We can all entertain ourselves alone and very cheaply, its just if none of us have anything in common there is no more "We" anymore.

The effect can also be seen in political divides and other areas of life.

In the linked article, they intentionally, for some reason, confound "Friends" and "The Office" as common cultural experiences. However, even that is false. Friends finale in 2004 had 53 million viewers, The Office finale (US version, 2013) had a mere 5 million viewers. Quite a rapid cultural implosion!

C++ was my first language (`94?) and the one I am very passionate about; I worked on the Indiana concepts proposal & variadics for part of my dissertation, and my advisor & his colleagues designed large chunks of what would be C++11.

In my opinion, the very best C++ is plain-old-C that uses modern C++ standard libraries, while carefully controlling the definition of the memory allocator for those libraries.
Other than abusing teenagers, I don't really see what the point of this comment is.
Only you can answer questions of relevancy wrt your topics of interest. Think about this for a second: relevancy for 'today' yields such a broad area that, I dare say, no one here or elsewhere will have a satisfying answer _for you_.
100% this.

4 to 6 seconds for effectively static content is absolutely insane, and only justifiable for exceptionally rarely accessed dynamic data queries.

I work for a company with an office in Manila. Talking with colleagues we compared what a different experience is to fly to Japan for them and me.

I just show up in Japan, show them my passport and job is done. For the Philippines, they have to apply for a visa, and if it is a group of people risk that arbitrarily one or several of them would not be allowed. And they are good paid software engineers with stable jobs, I cannot imagine how it is for the rest of the population. The ones that can afford to pay for the trip and hotels.

My only experience with a Visa is with China, and I do not need to provide any economic information but itinerary and flights of arrival and departure. USA, or India just require on-line notices of arrival previous to the flight. (Are they really Visas?)

> Citizens of African countries have nearly 50 percent of all applications denied just in the UK, compared to just eight percent in the Middle East and 13 percent in South Asia.

I understand the economic reasons for such high percentage of rejection. But, such a high number does not help to improve the business situation in the African continent.

I grew up in a poor European country, 40 years later I feel privileged for that. And yet, I cannot know how one feels being born in Africa as I cannot know how one feels being born in a rich country. I hope that at least I can offer understanding, and vote for governments that want to reduce the breach between rich and poor continents, countries, and citizens.
Oh I am flabbergasted and continually amused at the concept, but it is still a tool available for use
One thing that annoyed me a bit with Tcl is that tclsh doesn't come with readline support, meaning you can't go back to previous commands using the up arrow. However, you can work around that using rlwrap.

It certainly was (not opening up their code is close second) - the outdated ~2013 era BTRFS on a small 16 GB slow eemc flash & default allocation policy (that resulted in space for metadata running out after s while) turned out to be very very bad.

Thankfully on all supported hardware post Jolla 1 they switched to EXT4 on LVM and had no storage issues at all since then.
And yet a compromisation is still far more unlikely than hosting it on the next shitty cloud application. Any cloud application and a threat analysis on data will reveal exactly that. And it won't even be close.
I thought it was the other way around? Keyword ads on search results are by far the most profitable since you have intent right there ("what is the best lawn mower"), whereas the vague stalker-ish amazon ads about buying another one of the thing you just bought (or just trying to guess "well homeowners in their 30's might be interested in a lawn mower") have way lower value.

Especially on Google Search results, the top ads for brand names are usually for the first search result anyway and people click on them because they're first, making google lots of "free" money as people have to protect the top spot for their own brand
Personally, I don't think so. I wish there were two separate words for these two concepts:

* the proletariat seizing the means of production from the bourgeoisie (or 'volk' from 'untermenschen' in the case of the Nazis) and distributing resources from a centralized economic authority

* generous social benefits funded by high taxes as a matter of public and social policy

They're both labeled "socialism" but completely different ways and results. In the US, discussion of the second is always stymied by conflation with the first
Thats not an edit, I wrote permit not encourage
That's basically an anarchist point of view. If you can't outlaw anything no matter the harm it causes, then what's left for the role of government? "At least it's an ethos" and all, but that's not how any modern society operates.
I am not ashamed of seeking therapy, and am pretty open about it with anyone, although I respect anyone that wants to keep it private.

I still would definitely not choose to share the NOTES FROM MY THERAPIST of private things I said to them -- if I'd ever choose to share that with anyone (maybe not), it would certainly not be with the public at large, with anyone who cares to look it up at any time.

It's not just an indication that someone went to therapy that the blackmailers are revealing and threatening to reveal. It's a very different thing. I would expect most people who are public about having gone to therapy (like the people interviewed in OP) are not in fact fine with sharing the complete notes of everything they said in therapy with any interested acquaintance or member of the public.
You don't need a cryptocurrency to do that. Things like Western Union payments, gift cards, and (if you're really fancy) running bank payments through multiple jurisdictions have all been used in ransomware attacks. Ransomware has been around a lot longer than Bitcoin.
Pip is a repo.
Formatting the partition(s) your OS is installed on is the uninstallation method. Uninstalling from the disk implies that you'll reuse the existing filesystem on the computer.

Each of your named OSes has different preferences as to which filesystem they will run on, each filesystem with different capabilities and expectations. Windows - NTFS, OS X - APFS and HFS+, Linux - depending on which flavour you choose. Thus an uninstallation program isn't really much use, because the installation of anything new should blow that away.

Or is it you wish that your computer had a bootstrap program when you powered it on which would source an installation image (for Windows, OS X, whatever Linux flavour you prefer)?

To that last one Apple machines do offer this in a limited fashion in the form of "Internet Recovery", plug in a blank disk into a Mac or delete the GPT on your SSD and it will offer to connect to wifi/ethernet to download the installation image for either the version of OS X it shipped with, or alternatively the version last installed (I cannot recall which). Though of course it won't help source any installation media of the other OS families.

This installation image is a cut down version of OS X which will provide just enough drivers to get the system functional, the disk drive formatting tools, a command line interface with a number of basic system tools to troubleshoot with, and a functioning web browser.
The car part is like any other car with respect to road legality (in this case an IGC, or individual license) and production compliance is the same as for all other limited production cars (regular 'typegoedkeuring'). The airplane part is a whole different ballpark.

The stint was something different. Those were not tested as they were technically not cars and treated as mopeds which have very limited testing requirements as far as I know.
This is great news. I wish worker pay was more based on the value they provide versus where they decide to live. If you're making $200k in the valley and you decide to move to Ohio, why are you suddenly worth less to the company? If everyone goes remote you no longer have to live in a high cost of living area. If you choose to that's on you.
