> Unless they are independently wealthy before having kids, most normal parents will need daycare because they still need to work for money.

This is not so simple. Half a century ago, it'd have been common place for either the Mother or the Grandparents to be looking after the children around the house.

In the name of modernity we've replaced family with the nation-state. Yay progress! I say 'modernity', because some of the policies that have led us here were distinctly marketed with the very same adjective.
Where could I learn more about the onboarding practices? Sounds super interesting!
Cuckoo clocks originated in the Black Forest in Germany, north of the Swiss border. People associate them with Switzerland because of innovative marketing!

I first learned about him (and Zappos) from a blog post about the In-N-Out 100x100 burger: http://whatupwilly.blogspot.com/2006/01/in-n-out-100x100.htm...
Before I address your point, I'll clarify that I want to use correct/standard definitions, not definitions only understood by small subsets of the population.

Now to your point: private property intended for personal use, which socialist ideology claims is not problematic, is the direct progenitor of private property used for other purposes, like earning an income for the owner from being rented out, or from being utilized in an enterprise that employs other people to operate the private property.

The differences between private property intended for personal use, and private property intended for business or commercial use, are completely superficial with respect to the basic principles that society operates on.
People who are interested in McPhee’s writing might want to read “Draft No. 4,” where he discusses his craft.

(Although if you’re a “concision above all else” type, as some commenters in this thread seems to be, McPhee is probably not for you).
You honestly think that parents working half the normal hours on minimum wage would make enough to raise a family without daycare? Minimum wage working 40 hours a week would net you ~$15k. How do you expect to raise a family of four on less that $300 a week?

What do you think will happen if the wealth gap grows further and more and more people become angry and unhappy? Riots and revolution are only a matter of time if the gap keeps growing. Having billions of dollars in an offshore bank will mean nothing if we continue on the same path. Even if you have no empathy for the 99%, at least look at it for self preservation. Our country is still extremely young and recorded history doesn't stretch back very far; chaos and revolution are normal and it would not be hard to pass the point of no return.

There is a reason most tech aristocracy believe that minimum basic income is a good idea.
OP says 18 months and Gust was waiting for annual bonuses and stock to mature.

As you say, you chose to coast at your own job as a reasonable and fair response. You did the work you were contracted to do and got paid correspondingly. Yeah you’d have liked a promotion path to a more demanding and rewarding role, but that’s just not something your employeer needed/wanted.

Lots of jobs aren’t our perfect dream jobs. But I assume you started looking in the meantime, and when you did find a job which better fit your ambitions you moved on, and did so in a professional manner which ensures your own professional reputation stays intact.

Gust just burnt the world; took his own pain and paid it forward. Victim (partly self-made) becomes an abuser himself. Sorry, no, I’m going to call that.
If I still lived in Eugene I would consider this a godsend for local exploration of all the non-road bike trails. Sure, I’m happy to explore them anyways, but being able to conserve my energy on hot days and get home sooner during a rainstorm would be invaluable. I don’t ever intend to be competitive, but it’s nice to go further in the same amount of wall clock time.
Not sure some here are missing his point but I think he isn’t talking about Windows or macOS, but Linux and even then not necessarily as a stand-alone OS but in a dual boot scenario too.
It's not like that if you are intelligent you will automatically succeed and become the next genius. But without intelligence in the first place it's close to impossible to achieve something extraordinary.
Many reasons actually ...

- Scalability
CrateDB is built for horizontal scale from the ground up on top of distributed technologies. We have customers using clusters with 80+ nodes in production for many years now.

Timescale just released their multi-node feature in beta and they follow a different concept then we do. While Timescale uses a leader (access node) - follower (data node) model with a single point of failure CrateDB is built on a shared-nothing architecture. Many features you would want to see in a distributed system are present in CrateDB and still missing in TS:

- cluster wide replication
- automatic rebalancing
- cluster wide backup
- shared nothing architecture / no single point of failure

- Full Text Search
CrateDB is built on Lucene and parts of ES and includes search capabilities you would typically need a separate product for when using PG/TS.

- Distributed Query Engine
Yes, PG/TS are fast if you query "small" amounts of data (e.g. last days data). But if you have distributed system, you might as well also want to run queries on larger data sets.

- Geospatial Queries
Powered with Lucenes BKD-Trees

Disclaimer:
I work for Crate.io and I also think Timescale are doing awesome stuff in many ways and give Influx the competition they deserve. I don't see us in direct competition (at least not yet), as the focus of Timescale is clearly more on smaller use cases.
The point is that having a way of accessing a column rather than needing to parse to find a byte is only a partial answer to the problem of file formats. The consuming application still needs custom code to comprehend the format, and the physical layout of data within is often only a small part of that.

IMO Sqlite would be a terrible format for e.g. a word processor. Database style formats are good when partial updates are the norm, but if your application typically needs the entire data model in memory, a relational mapping is unpleasant overhead.

... and it still may not make a difference.
Tsung was made in another era, before devops. I think it shows in the UX and everywhere when using the tool that it wasn't really meant for developers.

Specifically, and with the disclaimer that I haven't used Tsung so much, I'd say the biggest difference is that k6 tests are scripted in a real language (JS) as compared to Tsung's XML.

But k6 also has a modern CLI UX that beats Tsung (and most other tools) by a mile, more integrations now and possibly support for more protocols, or at least more relevant ones (not sure if Tsung supports HTTP/2 for instance). Plus k6 is being very actively developed.

From what I've seen of Tsung I really like it though. Seems like a very performant and solid piece of software. But like mentioned earlier, it was made in another era. Just like Jmeter. If I ranked tools in terms of ascending "DevOps:ness" and UX for developers it'd probably be something like:

Lowest: Jmeter, Tsung

Low: Gatling

Medium: Apachebench, Siege, Hey, Wrk (simple testing)

High: Artillery, Locust

Highest: k6, Vegeta (though Vegeta is only for simple/static tests)

I wrote an article about this topic also: how most load testing tools we have are just not geared for developers and DevOps: https://k6.io/blog/another-load-testing-tool
Joplin does not offer any original synchronization system. It just offers NextCloud, Dropbox, Onedrive, Webdav or the local filesystem. If you don't use any of those services, or you do not have a server where to setup Webdav, Local filesystem + Syncthing seems like the best choice.
Russia is more trustworthy than Iran. Nonetheless, nobody wants Russia to have nuclear weapons, but nobody can do anything about it. They've already have them for a long time.

I don't trust anyone with nuclear weapons. It would be lovely if nobody had them. That's realistically not possible right now. As long as countries continue to amass them, there's a need for "more good" countries to keep them. These are almost always democracies.

Democracy is generally speaking just safer and better than dictatorship. I'm just going to stop there, and not get into a debate right now of democracy vs dictatorship.

Would you rather have the good man with the power, or the bad man? That's the ultimate question simplified. You want the good man with the power, then it's a question of who is good, which would lead to huge endless debate right now.
As I discover it, borg seems to be pretty good for this use case indeed.

But still there is one thing (at least) that can be of interest to some people with nFreezer: it is very simple, it does the job in only 249 lines of code. You can then read the FULL source code in a few hours, to see if you trust it or not.
See here: https://github.com/josephernest/nfreezer/blob/master/nfreeze...

If I want to do this with the source code of the tool you mentioned, I would have to spend at least one full week. (this is normal: this program has 100 times more features).

The key point is: if you're looking for a solution for which you don't want to trust a remote server, then you probably don't want to trust the backup tool of a random internet person either. And you probably want to read the source code of the program.

So having only < 300 lines of code to read in a single .py can be an advantage.

"If you were black, you'd much rather work for the firms actively trying to recruit and promote you."

This is a tall assumption. People are more complicated than that, and so are their identities. What if you are a pro-life, strongly Catholic black person? I can definitely see the pro-diversity campaigners balking at the "pro-life" component of your identity.

So this has been a project of mine which I've been creating for last couple months. Source is available at: https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit

Feedback and suggestions are welcome!

Basically teddit is alternative front-end for Reddit. Like what Invidious is for YouTube, or what Nitter is for Twitter, or what Bibliogram is for Instagram.

Teddit doesn't use any client-side JavaScript, nor does it have any ads (not now, and not in the future). Teddit supports videos too, so it uses native browser video players. I wanted to make the site as minimalistic and lightweight as possible. You can clone the repo and self-host your own (public or private) teddit instance on your own server.
Fair point - I will review this with our marketing and get that fixed
Go is a Google product that came out of Google.

Swift is an Apple product that came out of Apple.

Rust was incubated in Mozilla, and this support was essential to getting it going and for its early years (until 1.0 plus or minus a year or so, I’ll suggest), but it was never tied to any one company in the same way: it always had a distinct identity, with others welcome to join that (as distinct from joining Mozilla if they wanted to effect change). Now, various large companies are steadily working on helping support it in this sort of way—Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, and more.
I have heard that the difference comes from software. Apple endorses a reference counting garbage collector, whereas many windows programs (.NET programs for example) use a tracing garbage collector.

In result, native macos (and ios) programs need less memory. As macOS is also built on the same memory discipline, it is more memory efficient.

Yes, it is unfortunate. But my city is very bicycle friendly so there is a lot to be thankful for. Also even with pedestrians on the bike paths everything mostly works out fine. Assuming speeds are human powered.

I am optimistic that if we embrace ebikes as motorcycles and advertise their ability to keep up with and even get around traffic we can enjoy the benefits provided to the rest of the high density world.

Amercian cities are incredibly wasteful with space. Single individuals in cars, it’s ridiculous. In Asia I have seen mothers with children on scooters. Everyone rides a motorcycle.

We need that in our cities and I think ebikes can help get us there.
It's not too squishy. The important thing to understand here is that a plane is an infinite object in a given subspace - just like a line is. Two infinite objects intersecting give you an infinite object in the subspaces they share, and a zero-sized object in the subspaces they don't share. The shared subspace of two planes in 2D is obviously the same plane. The shared subspace of two planes in 3D is obviously either zero (two parallel nonincident planes), a line (the intersection that they share) or a plane (two incident planes). So you get a null, a one-dimensional subspace, or a two-dimensional subspace, depending on how many shared subspaces you have between the objects. So a pair of three-dimensional infinite objects, in four-dimensional space, may either be disjoint, resulting in a null, incident, resulting in an infinite volume, or intersecting, resulting in an infinite plane.

The source of confusion here is that we're mixing up (bounded) volumetric shapes, line segments, and planar polygons, with their infinite counterparts - the lines, points, planes, and infinite volumes. An infinite object has no shape - it is infinite in some dimensions and zero in all others - this is what gives us those clear well-defined intersection objects, which are either zero or infinite. A bounded object has a shape - it has a boundary that is not infinite. When you intersect such objects within their shared subspaces (two line segments on the same line, two polygons on the same plane, two volumes in the same space) you get either a null, or an object of the same type. This is obvious when you make one of the objects infinite - an intersection of a line segment with its line gives you the same line segment. So the reason you are having difficulty imagining two somethings that will intersect in a plane is that a plane is an infinite object, so only two infinite objects can intersect in a plane. So you need two infinite volumes, that pass through the same 4D space, but are not the same volume. These volumes share a two-dimensional subspace - the area of 4D space they intersect in is a plane. It's infinite in two dimensions, and zero-sized in two others.
I didn't look at the article but I assume it's mostly tasmian devils in oversized hamster wheels.
I've lived in Geneva and Zurich, and there is a big difference between the two. Geneva is basically France, with some Italian and Portugese thrown in for added rule breaking, but Swiss so the "special" rules apply to other people. It's full of self-entitled snow flakes, backwards and not like the rest of Switzerland at all.
A better question to ask, I think, is what information is not available readily. Meaning, not in a machine-readable format, not complete, not up to date, not free, not from a reliable source, etc.

Something that I found this to be true for is basically every List_of_* Wikipedia article, the machine-readable format especially. But then if you look up the same information on WikiData it either doesn't exist or it's massively lacking in one of the points above.
According to TSOEnabler, threads with the TSO property set simply aren’t scheduled onto cores that don’t support TSO.

As for sharing data, a non-TSO thread can basically assume that a thread using TSO is equivalent to a non-TSO thread using only ldapr/stlr for memory access. And those interactions are well-defined.

Interestingly, "carrying a gun" is an American stereotype here in Europe, not race-specific.

Isn't there like 400 million guns in private hands in the US? If so, the assumption that pretty much anyone you meet in the street might have concealed gun on them is not absurd per se.

But speaking about it aloud seems strange, yes.

"passed over for promotions"

This is the oldest workplace complaint ever and happens in racially homogeneous countries all the time. Favoritism in the workplace is probably as old as the pyramids.
FWIW: I am a 2nd-time entrepreneur. I bootstrapped a company in Germany from 2004-2011, and sold it to Google then. As part of that I moved to Switzerland. I started another company in early 2018 in Zurich, believing the hype about it being a good place to do business.

I won't go into details publicly, but: If your market and your potential acquirers are primarily in the US, and you think your startup will have a long-term focus in the US, avoid incorporating in Zurich. Go to London, Berlin, Paris, pretty much anywhere but Zurich. If you absolutely have to incorporate in Switzerland, move yourself to a startup-friendly Canton such as Zug. Do not incorporate in Zurich, and do not open an office in Zurich.

My experiences have been resoundingly negative, and I am not the only one - founders just avoid talking about the negative experiences for fear of causing more problems.

If your market will be primarily Switzerland and the immediate neighbors, starting here is likely fine (albeit you will get better price/performance on engineering in neighboring countries).

No, restaurants are one of the highest risk places. Spacing doesn’t help so much indoors where aerosols accumulate, especially if ventilation is poor.

We just had an outbreak in halifax and bars and restaurants have far and away been the driver.

There are also safeguards against writing crackpot material on Wikipedia.

Medical malpractice happens all the time, the comparison isn't invalid. The difference is the cost to the user, i.e. building yourself an echo chamber is free whereas even a suspiciously cheap (say) plastic surgeon is not.

This argument works on multiple levels, the internet has crackpots on it but it also has easily indexable alternatives who are only n degrees away from offline authority figures. The issue is more to do with psychology than the internet's intrinsic (sociological) properties.
"especially those based on linux"

seriously? what godforsaken obscure unmaintained linux distro is _this_ guy using?
> 18/ Another "magic" trick is how their "Swift" programming language uses "reference counting" instead of the "garbage collection" in Android. They did something in their CPU to double the speed of reference counting.

> 19/ ...even when translating x86 code, all that reference counting overhead (already more efficient than garbage collection) gets dropped in half. Yet another weird performance enhance to add to all the others.

Not at all, as proven by known benchmarks.

https://github.com/ixy-languages/ixy-languages

Putting refcounting in the CPU was the only way Apple managed to make it fast enough.

Objective-C only went with refcounting because Apple failed to make their tracing GC work flawless across frameworks with mixed compiler flags alongside C semantics, thus having the compiler automate retain/release was a more sane option to do.

Likewise, Swift had a requirement to have flawless interoperability with Objective-C runtime and libraries, so the natural option was to adopt reference counting instead of a translation layer across both worlds.

.NET / COM interoperability is a good example on how to integrate a tracing GC with reference counting can turn into an engineering feat.

Speaking of which UWP, which is 100% COM based, is somehow noticeable slower than pure Win32 applications, besides the sandboxing, the main reason is naturally AddRef/Release everywhere.

Hence why C++/WinRT as C++/CX replacement is full of tricks, moving destruction to background threads, wrapping COM handles in stack allocations, taking advantage of constexpr.

So yeah, it is tricks and marketing how those tricks are sold, specially to crowds that care more about the next SPA framework release than how compilers work and CPUs work.

You don’t have to wear masks while seated in the UK
I think that there is a general misconception in thinking that Mensa beeing "highly intelligent under-achievers". People that are not putting hard work into something are under-achievers in any demographics, because that's what the word implies. It's not a inherent problem in Mensa. Being lazy is the norm, it makes sense from an evolutionary perspective, being an over-achiever is something that has to be trained.

The way the Mac handles it, is a great way. An application is a directory with a special structure. The finder treats that directory like a file. You can double click it for launching the application, you can move it like a single files. Usually, no installation is required. That also means, deinstallation is a single delete. On the shell you can just cd into that directory like any other.

This way, the application developer does get all the benefits of a file system, while the user all of having a single file. While you don't need to do this constantly, being able to relocate an application on your file system is a very nice thing. Like moving it to a different volume or disk. Having it an a users home or the system application directory. Especially, having any amount of compies of the application (different versions) in as many places as you want.

Not having the need to "install" an application is a big advantage, not having to "deinstall" an even bigger. Having the application doesn't change your system. This is especially great if you run your systems for many years. Having to do a "clean install" is a symptom of a not cleanly separated system.

I was a company director. Started the company, put in the major investment, brought in two other people I knew and trusted as fellow directors, and I still had to walk away 18 months later because all three of us—as first-time directors with more lofty ambition than hard, dirty experience—made a thorough cock of the business.

Glad I did it. Not happy about that particular outcome, but at least now I know it’s harder than it looks and some of the errors to avoid in future. And hopefully once I’ve finished dusting myself down I’ll be back up on another horse to try again.

It’s real easy to sit in the peanut gallery pontificating loudly. I’ve more respect for those who actually do it, even if they are assholes as people (but really, who isn’t?).
