"[...] each time psychology, psychiatry, and psychotherapy have begun to take trauma seriously, it has been shut down by people denying that it’s even a thing, and suggesting that those who are traumatised are making it up or exaggerating its impact. When Freud first published a paper pointing out that most of the people with mental health struggles he was working with had experienced childhood and/or adult sexual abuse and assault, he was ignored and shut down. He went on to shift to a theory that suggested his patients had fantasised those things: they couldn’t possibly actually had happened. This is pretty terrifying now that we know the statistics on the prevalence of abuse and assault."

My new therapist asks 2-3x per session 'but no one raised a fuss with CPS'? What? I was very well treated compared to most kids from my neighbourhood & cohort. I was fed, clothed, and my health was somehow cared for, at least when obviously sick. Sleeping in my own bed in a stable home, a roof over my head. Not to much abuse, at least not everyday. Most of my mates didn't have this luck. The slaps in school by their parents, the pulled hair or ears to obtain compliance, the insults, pushing around, threats of sleeping on the ground or outside, the black eyes, belt scars, the never washed clothes and body, the 'forgotten' breakfasts or dinners, the rotten teeth, the neglected vision problems...

I mean it wasn't Oliver Twist but some of us had it GOOD.

Gimme helicopter parenting and too many activities. The pendulum hasn't swung that much on that side than it had on the other...

Sorry, I hate the 'helicopter parenting' expression.

FWIW I agree about our modern vices. Phones, twitter, HN, everything-gamification...
When the road is closed for repairs, people are upset. "No Fugging way."
not apps and not running there, but we bought a NAS for our really small compute cluster and just put 16 cheap (=marketed as read-intensive) NVME drives in (well, originally 8 – but then there was money left, which had to be spent fast), because IOPS are magnitudes better than HDDs and for around 3 times $/TB the hassle of configuring some caching just wasn't worth it in our opinion.

Performance on par with typical Desktop-SSDs over NFS (multiple clients possible). Definitely better than the old 1TB/disk-RAID5.

A bunch of speculative research by anonymous third-party sources in a Russian-language paper with little journalistic cachet is your evidence?

> In 2012, there were reports that the village of Fucking in Upper Austria attempted to change its name to Fugging through a referendum after receiving large amounts of prank phone calls from English speakers about the village's name.[3] According to these reports, they were unable to do so because Fugging in Lower Austria was already so named;

Prank phone calls are definitely more annoying than some tourists taking a picture at the town sign.

I feel like everything you just said is true if you replace “cmake” with “make” and “xmake” with “cmake”.
the only problem with this is that gmail does show the proper, header-referenced, thread structure. as well as subject “referenced”.

anyway one shouldn’t blame gmail. it’s outlook that forced gmail’s hand.

furthermore, like a bike vs car accident, you can be correct and still dead. mutts insistence of “keeping the thread” when users change the subject is “correct” yet still dead. 99% of users — aka normies — reply to an existing message when starting a new thread. changing the subject in almost all cases is intended to create a new thread, not a new subthread.

one has to work with the users you have, not the users you wish you had.

> By restricting your design documentation to a single file that is intended to be read as an introduction to your software, RDD keeps you safe from DDD-turned-waterfall syndrome by punishing you for lengthy or overprecise specification. At the same time, it rewards you for keeping libraries small and modularized.

Particularly liked this part.This nuance of not going too far in either direction is what makes the idea effective, I would think. Will keep it in mind for every future project.

And hey, writing the readme first will very likely make tdd easier, as the first few tests to write would be essentially transcripts of the readme into code.
>Like in Canada, we already have gun registration and background checks (the "common sense" laws that Biden wants but that the NRA says are radical) and the fight is about banning specific classes of assault rifles.

The 2nd Amendment issue in the United States is something I don't expect a non-American to understand. The rest of the world tends to take the process of enumerating freedoms positively. The law says you have it or don't.

In the U.S. the culture was framed around the preservation of liberty and the enumeration of the boundaries, and limitations on the ability of government and regulation to encroach. The problem with that is it opens a can of worms constitutionally that increasingly have led to the torture of common language in order to attempt to change the meaning of already passed laws instead of passing new ones which seem to be growing increasingly difficult to do.

Further, you have an entire caste of people specifically trained to use language in unintuitive ways.

As far as "Assault rifles" go, most people can't even define what one is. The fact is, an AR-15 that has the "look-and-feel" of a military patterned rifle is functionally equivalent to more "traditional looking" stock rifles like a Mini-14.

They are the same fundamental device. Neither one is more or less capable of killing someone. To anyone with experience with firearms, the "common sense" espoused by gun control people amounts to hysterics. All it is is a bunch of people tryimg to legislate everyone else's rights without demonstrating any understanding of the subject matter at hand other than being a special interest mouthpiece.

As a distributed software developer, I have found debuggers less useful these days. If I need a debugger, it probably means I don't really know the code that I am working on.

Good IDEs with good static analysis, good unit test/integration test/e2e test coverage, a true understanding of the code base before changing it, all these avoid most bugs.

When the production hits a bug, good monitoring and logging can help root-causing. It is extremely difficult to debug and reproduce a bug in a distributed environment. Many bugs I have root-caused are purely based on monitoring and logging then show the proof with mind-execution of the code.
Perhaps it's just not a uncommon kind of name in that part of Europe? For example, there's the historically significant and wealthy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugger_family which contains such august names as "Prince Hubertus Fugger von Babenhausen".
From what I understand this isn’t what’s available to most. Anecdotally the DSL I’ve found available as an alternate at a few places in the country has been less than 30 Mbps at best.

A ZigBee or Z-Wave stick + Home Assistant (or openHAB, Domoticz, others) gets you more reliable operation and no notifying $MEGACORP every time you flick a light switch (or something equally dumb).

Devices based on the popular ESP8266 can also frequently be freed from their cloud overlords with community-made firmware [0], [1] and used as proper Intra-o-T devices.

I decided a while back that I would have no part in this Inter-o-T madness and I think it was a good choice.

Heh, just noticed you linked Tasmota as well while I was writing this. Good project, I use it too!

The problem is that the whole architecture is broken. The only reason these devices are "smart" is because they are connected to the brain on the cloud. Even if the device included some smart features, which often ends up cost prohibitive at scale, connecting to the cloud solve tech-illiterate user configuration issues... "Download an app, create an account, register your device which 'phoned home' previously, and you're done. Essentially, the cloud brain acts as a as a hub in the "smart" devices topology.
Summary:

Mozilla used a library called RNP instead of integrating GPG.

RNP does not support many GPG features, such as smartcards.

Enigmail, the old method of using GnuPG with Thunderbird, is broken in 78.x.

Author recommends downgrading to 68.x and using Enigmail for advanced users.
I've learned my lesson and no longer buy WiFi connected "smart" devices, unless I can flash them with custom firmwares.

ZigBee isn't without its flaws too but at least I can guarantee that the device doesn't require someone's online service to function. I just wish more devices offered it.

Pretty much anything with WiFi in it requires installing some dodgy looking app that requires you sign in with yet another account, and will probably stop working in a few years or when you eventually need to reconfigure your home's WiFi network.

The more affluent depend on their social position to gain membership in their community in a way that some others do not. Taking a vow of poverty means you reject that, and you probably don't have a position in a web of mutual obligation to fall back on.
I had one of those. And a $50 Walmart vacuum bests it in every way except proven longevity. Power tools have come an insanely long way since the 1970s.
Basically, in some team-vs-team video games, teamwork matters much more than individual skill level. So no matter how skilled a player is, they can still lose consistently and be ranked lower than they "should" be. The skill rating system used is often the ELO system, and the "hell" here is a situation where a player is consistently matched with players far below their own skill level, due to poor teamwork.

There's also a lot more randomness in teamwork - sometimes a teammate has a bad day, or is just trolling. Successfully convincing the other people on the team to work as a team to accomplish objectives is often a counter-intuitive skill for people who focused on game mechanics and game knowledge.
Yeah, how dare handicapped people want to be able to take care of their own homes without needing someone else to come vacuum for them.

I know that empathy is a problem in tech, but this thread is something else...
You say "lid", but is it a side-load washer? Those have a valid reason to not open if the power is cut --- because they'll empty their contents all over the floor.

I have an old top-loader, it doesn't care at all (or know) whether the lid is closed.
Throughout worldwide modern history we have seen that authoritarian governments are by far the greatest risk to human life. It's just too dangerous to allow governments a large amount of control over people's daily lives. I'd rather take my chances with the virus.

>I remember back in the day when we used to just ask people if they could do FizzBuzz now we're looking at if they used an interface to wrap their ORM usage. That's something that can get picked up at code review and taught. Not everyone is going to code by default at the style of a company but they can learn to do the things the company wants.

>Then there is the obivous, lets test people for things they aren't going to do. Google and co made this the in thing and the fact we now have books upon books just designed so people who are good at tech can pass a tech interview is a sign in itself that there is something rotten.

So which is it? Should interviews be related to the work at the job or not? The Google type interviews evolved precisely from the philosophy in your first paragraph I quoted: that a lot of domain knowledge can be learned easily and that it was most important to test for more fundamental knowledge and abilities as well as general problem solving skills.

Ultimately I think it's a lot easier to criticize the interview process than to come up with a good alternative, as well as establishing some basic criteria about what should be selected for and against. Not that I think Google style interviews are perfect or anything, mind.
Don't the files on disk just keep the current uid/gid anyway. You'd change one file and zip it back up.

+1, one can't know everything. Knowing the unknowns is often easy to fix, either learn them or find someone knows them. My company usually review postmortems of outages in production, almost all of them I have reviewed are because of a code change/config change that the author/operator had no idea about what could go wrong.
Maybe use a platform like Codemagic or others where you can rent Mac time for free first before delving into buying a Mac.

From the user reports its seems like the vacuums function just fine locally but the app to control and schedule them is cloud connected.
I don't mind seeing an ad I grew up in the TV generation commercials are nothing. An ad at the start of a YouTube video is fine but it's become endless ads to the point of ruining the content. And often it's the same damn ad over and over and over.

To be fair, I personally no longer buy WiFi “smart” devices, but I don’t mind if my wife buys them.

I get the dual benefit of having the “smart” when it works, and pointing and laughing at her when it doesn’t, because I told her so.

Since you mentioned JIRA, it is basically there to support bloated Scrum teams. And one often hears No True Scotsman fallacies regarding Scrum. Salesforce has always seemed to me like something that, indeed, falls into this category of things that are never "done right". And likewise, I am sure there are Salesforce coaches, and maybe even some books that people try to sell.
It still should have a manual way to open it.

It is a top loader. I don't understand why it has a lock. It has been very annoying actually, because I am used to letting the washer fill up while loading it.

Just because you have WiFi doesn't mean all communication must happen over the Internet.

If both the phone and the device are in the same network, they can communicate just fine.

Rape is a highly traumatic event. Getting offended at a foreigner’s well-meaning amusement that your town name means something funny in their language... doesn’t elicit much sympathy from me at all.

Now getting your signs stolen isn’t very nice at all and becomes less well-meaning, I agree. But I hardly think the joke itself is anything immoral at all.

That’s wild, considering AT&T is now running fiber service everywhere. I’m surprised they wouldn’t use it for that, at this point they could provide service to Atlanta overnight.
Even this I feel doesn't work all the time. At least from memory, I remember some problems where on kubernetes if you look at nproc or cpuinfo, that will give you the number of processors on the host machine, and not necessarily the CPU limit which is set per container. Although maybe I'm mis-remembering. I guess nproc could look at something else as well to filter based on that, and I agree having a nice portable commandline is way better than looking at /proc.
To be fair, having some way to spawn processes like there's no tomorrow is a good way to make sure there are no concurrency issues in your makefile.

I had a makefile with a race condition that triggered only sporadically. However, giving it more threads significantly increased its rate of occurrence.

If I was mostly doing iOS development, I would switch to the M1 without thinking.

Based on the reviews (like the black magic fuckary one from a few days ago), the RAM seems to be many times faster than comparable Intel models.

Since you'll be working with Apple applications and utilities (Xcode, Swift, etc), you'll be getting the speed improvements from basically day one.

I'm due for a new laptop in the next month (I need to use my yearly allowance before 31 Dec). I'm having a really hard time deciding between a 13" speced out Intel or M1. I focus mostly on web dev at the moment, so the choice is quite difficult based on the current reviews.

Except it doesn't cut on the gigantic waste of electronic components that IoT is creating, and no one is talking about.
> So, what this will end up doing is just increase the number of context switches, possibly also adding a performance degradation.

I think this is a jumping to conclusions a bit. You’d need to be reading /proc/cpuinfo in a fairly tight loop in order for the time spend doing any context switching to dominate the runtime cost of a program. Is this a common practice in some types of computation? Or am I misunderstanding this quote from the article?

Reading it I feel that creative problem solving is more important than simply knowing stuff. I wonder if knowing too much stuff is actually detrimental to exploring new ideas and trying them out.
not having to deal with distractions, malfunctioning devices, and over time saving quite a substantial amount of money I suppose.

The purpose of technology is to enhance and improve human interaction. When technology is perfect it is invisible. These smart devices are in a sense anti-technology, they're gadgets that occupy people's time and attention and get in the way.

The only product in the last decade that actually in my opinion is smart is the Kindle (or equivalent ereaders). It's like having a thousand books I can carry around with the weight of one, it lasts forever, I don't need a light to read, and otherwise I can forget that it is technology and actually just read books.
Eh, still that is not that much data. I've had much longer life out of SSDs that are used as cache drives and perform a huge amount of writes per day, with Intel and Samsung drives that is.
