I'm still not seeing the inconsistency, unless you have some evidence that the people who uploaded the videos were the same people who were arrested.
> I wouldn’t want to switch jobs just to drive up my pay even if I could [...] I have worked 20 years in the same job and so have my colleagues.

Honestly this part of the European mentality is hard for an outsider understand. I lived there for ~10 years and heard this argument countless times.

I want a fulfilling life and part of that is a fulfilling job. It's hard to believe a job on the same company can be fulfilling for 20+ years. Changing jobs is part of professional growth IMO.

Different strokes for different folks I guess.
>> Is there not any wisdom to giving rural areas a counterweight to heavily populated urban areas?

> The founders thought so. It's called the US Senate.

No, they were trying throw a bone to states like Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Jersey, which were land-locked out of Western expansion. It was the more 'rural' states that actually preferred to balance Congressional power on population.

[ed: As the more rural states saw their own populations likely to increase over time. The Senate's existence had absolutely nothing to do about balancing rural vs urban interests].
I think it helps to see stoicism not as A philosophy in the modern understanding as something akin to a religion/worldview you have to buy into wholesale. It's more a practical guide how to live with many great ideas and some that are outdated/unrealistic. Engage with the ideas on their terms as 2000 year old thoughts and see how they do or do not serve you.
I see. Perhaps, I should reframe it as left wing and right wing groups.

Parler's userbase is comprised of people who were either banned or migrated away from Facebook and Twitter in protest of them cracking down on hate speech and systematic appeals to violent action.

They moved to Parker as Parker rather explicitly stated they would not act on hate speech and systematic appeals to violent action.
I didn’t say deserve - but since switching jobs is a chore, I’d want to be compensated for it. I don’t think it’s a job that should necessarily make me very rich though. Taking risk should, but just creating value that someone else can produce? There is talent scarcity but not that much scarcity. Other people would do my job at my pay (which I guess ties into the topic!)

With the highest salaries perhaps 20-40% higher than mine and marginal tax 50% making that 10-20%, the prospect is basically, would I switch jobs a few times for that little, when I like my situation?

If the ceiling was higher, I’d switch. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy :)

ISO 8601 is pretty absurd when you actually read it. `2021-W02` and `--01-14` are valid, as is `--1013` (quick! guess what that means! and beware that `-1013` is valid too!)

Please, everyone, use a single format at all times in your systems. I don't really care what it is, though I'm fond of `2021-01-14T06:28:08Z` because it's unambiguous. But don't just say "use ISO 8601", it's far too vague and you'll inevitably have variations.
It all boils down to what you want in your life.

I've seen people (including myself) trying to change the lifestyle, thus money is a vehicle to do so and to build something with. Not everybody has got rich parents or sugar daddies, some people start from nearly zero and try to climb the social ladder.

A higher salary can unlock multiple benefits, in terms of long-term economical security (e. g. in case of market crash and companies go bankrupt / berserk mode, laying people off) and maybe buy yourself a house/apartment.

Plus, saving for children's future is one of the best gift a parent can do.

Coming to an end: having a salary which is similar to what in SF are offered would be really good
The same way it has since I’ve been alive. What’s your point?
Lines of code is a bad metric for complexity.

Jquery is a thin wrapper over javascript, whereas React has a comparable size but is a significantly higher level abstraction.

> In any case I do believe the filibuster should be eliminated if Republicans

That is very dangerous reasoning.

Filibuster should be kept or eliminated regardless of political preferences and current majority in congress.

If the system starts get adjusted too easily for the needs of current majority, it might be beneficial in short term, but in the long term it will shatter the democracy: what is the point of having election laws if any of them can be changed by those who are in power now.

This is the same reason why the court should not be packed: it might seem be the fair thing for the current democratic majority, but it will damage the system credibility.

This is the same reason why gerrymandering need to be fixed.

The problem with adulterated products is that they are inconsistent. It’s adulterated with both active and inactive compounds, and the strength varies significantly. There are overdoses related to “hotspots” of fentanyl.

Yeah, an opiate addiction now is ~10x the cost of prerolled cigarettes addiction. It it was closer to 1x then the property crimes and desperation associated with it would be significantly decreased. In the book Cherry by Nico Walker the author writes about his experience of robbing banks in order to fund he and his wife’s heroin addiction.
Fwiw, I did change and change back.

If I was working in web/db/internet stuff there would be much more jobs of the same kind. Then I’d switch more too I think. The reason I’m sticking is also because I work in a niche (which I like).
My other major contention is that Display Stream Compression has been broken since .0 betas through .1.

I have 2 27" 4K HDR 144Hz monitors.

On Catalina I can drive them at full spec on my 2019 Mac Pro, with a W5700X.

On Big Sur, my options are HDR @ 60Hz, or SDR @ 95Hz.

Not to mention the monitors also got a firmware update to unlock 165Hz, which neither Catalina or Big Sur recognize.
There is a difference between wanting the ability do something and actually doing it.

The former is important because it makes itself unnecessary. If 90% of people are installing some third party modification, the developers notice and incorporate it into the ordinary installation, and then they don't need to anymore.

But without the ability to do that, that doesn't happen, and then everything is worse because you not only can't install it as a mod, it also then can't become popular enough as a mod to be incorporated into the standard distribution.
Exaggeration sells newspapers and blog posts :D

> In every single example, the jQuery version is basically one or two lines of code, versus 10-15 lines for the alternative

But isn't the point here that you can wrap the 10-15 lines into your own function which you can then call with just a single line of code?

So you "might not need JQuery" because you can program it yourself following the examples given, and can choose which parts of it you need and want to package with your app.

> This "every man for himself / kicking down the ladder behind me" attitude is exactly the reason to leave America.

The "ladder kicking" part misrepresents their point. I see nothing they said which would preclude another person from following their same path.

As for getting a higher paying job, the problem isn't whether you thought about this clever plan, but whether you are able to actually implement it in you country.
The biggest Constitutional issue with D.C. Statehood (given that the plan includes reservation of a reduced federal district) is the prohibition on forming states from parts of other states without the consent of the original states’ legislatures’, since the territory originally came from MD. It's, IIRC, disputed how it would apply, but it would seem to be rendered non-problematic if consent was sought from MD.

"Accessing the internet" is a fairly broad term. In general, all machines supporting IPv4 and some sort of interface (UART for SLIP/PPP or Ethernet) can access the internet. However, older machines will not be able to use more modern services like ssh or the web due to compute power or memory limitations and you will obviously not be able to connect to IPv6-only hosts.

So, for example a PDP11 running 2.9BSD (e.g. a 11/70 from 1975) should suffice, but there are other machines of similar vintage that support IPv4. You can also try putting a virtual PDP11 on the net using the simh emulator (http://simh.trailing-edge.com) and 2.9BSD from TUHS (https://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Distributions/UCB/2.9BSD/).

You've been living the good life for so long that you're become blind to the bad life (normal life for many others). The Brits won't invade you, but every big country will try to bully you, some even openly. Look at what happened to Taiwan, Armenia, Iraq, Lybia, Korea, etc.

It's not like 2000, where if you're behind a good run of fab research will rocket you forward with some sweet increases in clock frequency.

We're nearing the end of the road on node shrinks, Intel can best hope to be marginally ahead on process.

What Apple's M1 shows is that a fundamental redesign is needed to get gains. Intel's problems appear to be in design, software, and business execution.

But doing a new ISA or muscling into ARM or other radical things precisely require design/software/business execution or it will utterly fail.

M1 is going to open the floodgates for ARM on PCs. That's what will kill Intel.

AMD can probably pivot, I have faith in their designers.
> Intel has to work harder than usual to regain both consumer trust and innovation lead

Not in the enterprise market where AMD is almost completely absent so far.
I have been using Scala professionally for the past 7 years. A few months ago I started pondering whether the community would benefit from a job board which specializes in Scala. Long story short, I believe the idea has potential so I decided to go for it. You can check it out at https://ScalaJobs.dev.

I would love to hear feedback and suggestions on how to improve the website.

Personally I was thinking to add:

- More filtering and search options. Like for example, tags for libraries, frameworks and adjacent technologies.

- A section linking to resources to improve Scala skills. I.e. Scalazone, fp-tower, RockTheJVM etc.

- A section for recruitment agencies. In my opinion ScalaJobs.dev's value is somewhat complementary to that of recruitment agencies. I think it would be useful to help people discover agencies specializing in Scala jobs.

- A blog section. Suggestions for the types of articles are welcome.

Feel free to leave a comment or to reach out to me directly with feedback and suggestions!
I wish I could disclose some of the incompetence I’ve encountered to persuade you otherwise. The reason there aren’t breaches like this of nearly all systems isn’t because most systems are better protected, it’s because no one’s interest (or they’re not interested for the purposes of sharing).

> I'm using software for fee but, I'm also beta-testing for free.

Assuming you're talking about a beta release for some open source software package, versus a full release, I don't think the distinction matters. You're using software that you got for free. It doesn't matter if it's beta- or release-quality. You aren't entitled to different/better support for it just because the developer chose to put out a version they admit isn't quite release-quality[0]. You're entitled to exactly the same amount of support as for a release version: none whatsoever.

> "I derive value from a free product so I should never complain."

I think that's framed the wrong way. I do agree that you should probably never complain about something you got for free; that smacks of undeserved entitlement. But constructive criticism and useful bug reports are (usually, depending on the maintainer) welcome.

[0] A developer might put out a beta version for a variety of reasons. One reason, yes, might be because they intend to jump on support requests faster in order to shape things up for a proper release. But another reason might be because they simply wanted to share with people as soon as possible.
> It's hard to believe a job on the same company can be fulfilling for 20+ years.

I don't see why not. I have never worked for small companies (always 25k+ sizes ) so my view may be skewed but the scope of these companies are so large that changing a project can mean totally different ways of working and sometimes totally different industries. Can it be that it's easier in europe to change your job context within the company and not so in america?

> Changing jobs is part of professional growth IMO.

Actually it's hard for me to understand why this is taken for granted in America and my home country India. Sounds like KPI chasing to me.
I would expect to be flagged, and then banned, and rightfully so.

I was just pointing out that Parler is nowhere near as "free" as it claims to be.
This is the “free speech” definition that says private parties must carry all speech regardless of content, and all speech the government demands of it?

So pretty much the opposite of free speech, and the latter is directly contrary to the first amendment.

Risk is only one reason to potentially be worth a high amount of money.

Others are: having connections that result in value for a company, and having a scarce skill so you can do something valuable for a company. SWE falls under the latter, for the companies that can leverage them highly enough.

Just as an aside, you can reformat the file system to be case-sensitive on MacOS. I think at $dayjob it's more or less policy to do so.

The only downside I have seen so far is that some software only runs on case-insensitive file systems. For example Photoshop did this last I checked.
In my experience, salaries start getting much more similar US ones at the staff/principal level, where salaries get into 170k ~ 200k USD/year range and total comp can go into 500~1M USD/year, at least in the main markets (UK, Germany, Sweden if you are working for Spotify).

Less wisdom and more necessity. The other states weren't keen on being dominated by Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, which together accounted for about 50% of the population. Anyhow, the vast majority of the country was rural and agricultural.

The wisdom of the Senate was quite literal--30-year minimum age limit, 6-year terms, and an expectation that states would send elder statesmen as it was legislatures that selected their senators. As Alexis De Tocqueville described it,

> At a few yards' distance from this spot is the door of the Senate, which contains within a small space a large proportion of the celebrated men of America. Scarcely an individual is to be perceived in it who does not recall the idea of an active and illustrious career: the Senate is composed of eloquent advocates, distinguished generals, wise magistrates, and statesmen of note, whose language would at all times do honor to the most remarkable parliamentary debates of Europe.

Mailcow: Setting Up a Full Featured Self Hosted Mail Server
While “use” resembles mixins, it is a much restricted version of whatever you can do in Ruby thanks to lexical scope, closed modules (via open classes), and immutability.

In practice “use” is closer to Ruby’s refinements, which is something that never caught in Ruby because they were too restricted.

You are right that you don’t see this in Erlang but you don’t see similar high level frameworks in Erlang either. Many don’t care for them but many also find such tools an essential part of their toolkit.
The argument is simple.

It has nothing to do with urban/rural. The United States is a federation of separate legal jurisdictions (states). The House of Representatives has seats aligned with “one person, one vote” and the Senate is aligned with “one state, one vote” in an attempt to balance these interests.

The obvious consequence is that federal legislation will only move forward when most states and most people are in agreement — which I think is the intended outcome. This is often framed as “rural voters have more influence” but this is over-simplified: you need agreement from both houses to legislate. Rural voters can’t push their agenda any more than urban voters, but less populous states effectively get a little extra veto authority.

Besides, states are quite free to exercise their authority and many have large, active governments. Californians may be happy with their state government, but I’m not sure many smaller states would agree that their large population entitles them to impose their will on other states.

The fact that this manifests in the electoral college is weird, but that’s a separate issue from the core argument.
