Republicans have been getting death threats towards themselves and their families for even looking likely to disagree with the president for years now. They also had no problem passing huge tax cuts without funding and thus exploding the deficit. I think it’s imperative that the next president start by trying to stem the online propaganda and anything else contributing to those death threats. The US simply cannot tolerate death threats against its elected officials. They’ve affected our politics for years and progress may be impossible until the propaganda is halted.

Edit-On the original topic of getting the two sides to agree on things, I think the fundamental problem is the us/them dynamic between urban and rural communities. I further posit that a large government program to employ these two communities together would go a long way toward building a communal bridge between them. If people in rural America saw the rest of the country building things like high speed rail to make them less isolated they would see promise for better days in the future. Ie make it so that people can live in rural areas and take a train into work in a city in minutes. Property valuations will increase. Crime will decrease through frankly there being better options all around. (Though I still think a revamped drug scheduling system needs to address the source of crime.)
Do you think this is some kind of clever counter argument? It just reveals that you think helping your fellow humans is a ridiculous idea.
Is there a reason to think there will be any breakage at all? Furthermore, the situation you are describing could only become a problem for environments where you control both the client and server (in which case, why not let them shoot themselves in the foot if they want to?)

scp syntax can't be 100% compatible with both cp and ssh. Instead of going for 100% with either, or designing their own flags from scratch, I suppose they tried to pick the best of both.

-p for --port does seem like it's needed more often than -p for --preserve-mtime, but running ssh on non-standard ports was less of a thing when scp was designed.
I've tried to stop reading news that I have no control over influencing. It's not apathy, I care deeply for many tragedies, but there is only so much emotional investment that can be split between the worlds many shortfalls, majeures, catastrophes, atrocities... I think sometimes that approach has been mistaken for sociopathy, when it's really not that I don't care, but that it would be worse for my wellbeing if I did.
I have found that adopting stoic principles actually reduces my motivation to do anything. I think stoicism lacks the emotional content and passion that causes us to attempt great things. Of course, there may be grief and disappointment, but being detached at the outset seems to rob me of some of the impetus and grit required.

Good explanation -- at the risk of mindlessly repeating you, my reason for the "always use trailing/ slashes/" suggestion is that the behaviour in that case has (for me at least) always been the scenario desired most often:

>striking a balance between stoic detachment but still maintaining the emotional connections that bond us as humans.

This isn't new to Sherman, she is just reforming for our modern times similar arguments made by the ancients. None of the ancient Stoics endorsed unfeeling detachment. They endorsed detachment from things not in our control, but they rejected the Cynic school's conclusion that living according to nature meant asceticism. To the contrary, to ancient Stoics civil action and involvement was a duty, and enjoying our emotions to the fullest was the very reward eudaimonia promised.
The novel and miniseries Sharp Objects explores this disorder as well.

I wonder if this is technically that disorder however, since it seems to be primarily cash-motivated.

Fun semi-random trivia fact: Upwork ran a TV ad mentioning Rust earlier this year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3yFOf6hIjQ

> Wanna bet you can write applications that have security vulnerabilities in Rust and Go just the same?

While it's still early enough that this is an interesting bet, the data we do have shows that you'd be likely to lose that bet. Several of the largest tech companies on the planet have data showing that roughly 70% of security vulnerabilities are caused by memory unsafety. Both Rust and Go are significantly more memory safe than C and C++.

Nobody would claim that either language completely eliminates security issues, but that doesn't mean that they can't help mitigate many of them.

Don’t forget the wide reports of death threats towards republicans and democrats - anyone remotely open to pushing back gets death threats. And they’re credible. That clearly has kept progress from being made.

I've recently gotten interested in repairing technology. I bought the recommended tools from iFixit and I've been using them to fix up my wife's MBP Mid-2012 Unibody (one of the best laptops to fiddle with in my opinion).

Due to all of this I realized that I have just enough knowledge to help others with their computers - or at least I have the right tools. Once I'm more confident, I'm planning on starting a Repair Cafe[1] in my city.

Repair is daunting for a lot of people - but it doesn't have to be. I hope to use the Repair Cafe as a way to improve the longevity of people's technology (saving them money) as well as teaching people the skills and knowledge they need to fix things on their own.

With even more reliance on technology these days - especially due to COVID - repair is a great way to help struggling families save money.

My friend got involved in local politics and suddenly found herself moving out of the district because her landlord got a call informing him he hadn’t acquired the proper license to rent to her. There’s a lot of “soft” corruption, suddenly enforcing laws that never get enforced, and it’s really shitty, and any little thing in your past will come under scrutiny.

She was running against the incumbent and they pulled up whatever dirt they could to get her to move out of the district.
Agreed.

Just showing up has an impact. I guarantee that simply being present will change everyone's behavior. Most meetings most of the time have no audience. If you keep showing up, you'll eventually figure out what's what.

My next piece of advice is to get on your representative's calendar. Pick an issue, any issue. No matter how small. Like fixing potholes or improving a road crossing. State the problem, propose a solution, make an ask, be cordial. 5 minutes. Then do it again. You likely won't "win" at first. Tenacious wins in the long run. At some point, politicians will do what you ask, just to make you go away.

I guarantee that there's a local issue, the more local the better, that you care about, that needs your attention. Anything and everything you can imagine is on the agenda at some point during the year.
The same can be said for a linter. You can just ignore the lint warning and have it not block the build as well.

Most linters also don't require manual changes but do automatic fixing, ie: black[0].

Non-user initiated updates to QA tools will only lead to alert fatigue because people will write it off as an update to to tool.

Yes but not much, I earned $5k+ over the course of two and half years.

1. Yes, I am selling ebooks related to iOS development
2. I sell on Gumroad
3. You might have heard this before, but I will repeat it again, build trust with your audience first before selling them stuff, so they know you are actually skilled in your trade and your product is actually worth the money.
eg: if your product is for python dev, then your audience is python dev.

To build trust, help people in public, like answering question in reddit (eg: r/python), stackoverflow, write technical blog post that answers common questions etc, I have been doing this for 2.5 years. Then put a newsletter sign up box below each blog post, this way you can reach your audience who is interested on your content directly, very useful when you want to launch product to them, make sure you use it to regularly send useful information to them too, not just use it to launch product.

My iOS blog : https://fluffy.es , I have stopped writing on the blog as I no longer work as iOS dev now, but I still get a few sales each month.
I feel like there should be a specialist sturdy podcast listening device, small form factor, with super long battery life, WiFi, web interface, phono jack, maybe also ethernet port.

It would have a pod catcher running in it, and a basic screen to select show to listen to. I guess it would be useful to be able to read show notes.

With all the interest in podcasting lately I would have though it was a good startup opportunity.

I agree. To the articles point, the (little "s") stoicism is conflated with the philosophy and sometimes misinterpreted in this regard. I've just personally found her writings more accessible for addressing the original texts on this point.
I'm completely guessing here but as ACB takes the stance of originalism, it doesn't seem like much of a stretch for her to look at the DMCA's ability to silence people talking about how to break DRM as a blatant disregard for the for the First Amendment.
I'm also not a scholar of stoicism, but from my reading Epictetus teaches pretty plainly that you shouldn't care at all about anything you can't control. I don't think that's realistic.

Though of course it's good to focus our efforts on what we have hope of changing, I think the Stoics miss the importance of actively seeking out ways that we can make things better for ourselves and others. They instead cast everything as "duty" in conformance to "nature", two very slippery concepts.

Scholars have noted that Stoicism flourished in environments where people had to cope with severe disempowerment (such as being caught up in the politics of the Roman Empire.) I hope most of us are not in situations where we have to resort to the 100% stoic mindset.

The opponents of gay marriage will tell you that the consequences of gay marriage is adoption, and that raising a child without both parents is a bigger violence for this child than any sort of physical violence.

Like in every other way I watch him and he's safe and smart but the moment humans hear a thing they want to be true ... out the window goes good choices.

There were a series of stories about how "this generation can spot fake news better than the last" that seemed encouraging ... but if you looked closer, the "this generation" was still really bad at it ...
What are the command line flags that mimic scp’s default behavior? I shouldn’t use the defaults, with no command line flags, should I? I keep reading through the man page trying to figure that out, but the options are numerous and confusing. I love using rsync but the interface is what gets in the way compared to scp. There are too many different rsync workflows that are all given equal weight in the documentation.
rsync with some default arguments is a perfect replacement. Actually I also like it even for single files because it can show you e.g. progress.
It's pretty narrow to believe that one can just "become stoic" but I certainly appreciate the notions of stoicism.

Sure, but we're talking about probability here. Established enterprise products from large companies usually have a published roadmap and guaranteed support period years in advance. It may be a mediocre product, but a business knows Oracle isn't going to kill off their ERP system any time soon, and also knows the minimum sunset date for all versions and can plan updates & upgrades accordingly.
> You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

It's a sad world- it almost makes me regret creating the internet and inventing services like youtube and email and HN.
My understanding is that the "stoic lack of emotion" is a misunderstanding of stoicism. Stoicism is very pro-positive emotions. But it tries to prevent negative emotions from clouding how you frame a situation.

I have myself wondered about the place of something like "righteous anger" in Stoicism, or other negative emotions that drive us to do the correct things. But I believe the Stoics would say that you should do the thing because it's the right thing to do, not because anger or sadness drove you to them. I think Seneca addresses this [1].

You are correct, there are no diff3 conflicts, thanks again for the clarification. The problem is fundamentally ambiguous, and the argument a bit more subtle. As a rule of thumb, when two heuristics are available, pick the simplest one (e.g. the one requiring fewer inputs), especially if a human needs to wrap their head around the rare cases where the heuristic goes wrong.

If you're only needing that compute power in burst mode, it's fine - and a laptop/PC with actual fans and heat sinks can push quite a lot more out of the same chipset.
No, it's true. What Apple does is partially pay more square mm of silicon for the same performance to reduce power, and partially things like restrict the use of small page sizes to allow VIPT L1 cache. And partially the ARMv8 64 bit architecture is a ground up redesign intended to used in modern high end architectures, though that's a smaller factor I think.
In 1491, Charles Mann makes the case that the number of ritual sacrifices was far fewer than the number of public executions in European countries during these times. In both cases, people were killed in an effort to bind the citizenry together in the shared belief in the leadership.

For better or worse, when performance is not a concern in my scripts, I just shell out to "perl -pe" rather than trying to deal with grep, sed or awk.

It just works.
