I am an old person, still working, but here are a couple points I have lived by:

1)when you decide it is time to look for a new job, even if you have your sights set on a particular position, always fan your resume out to at least three places, and go to multiple interviews. You never know what opportunities exist unless you look. What you thought was your first choice might not be where you actually end up.

2)If you do go through the process of sending out resumes and interviewing, go into it with the attitude that if you get an acceptable offer for what you think will be an interesting position, accept it and move on.

As long as you leave a job on good terms, with a two week notice, you can always go back in the future. Never (never!) burn bridges. The world is small, and networks matter!

Always follow up with any job offer that you receive but turn down. Keep it short, keep it factual, be polite. Thank them for the opportunity. Note that if a company gives you a good faith offer, and you turn it down, it will be harder to get an interview there in the short term. In the long term, they took a chance on you once, they'll take a chance again.

Network, network, network. I cannot stress that enough.

With the final note. Never (never) burn bridges.
Even worse is when everything isn't shut down, but some places (probably politically connected) are inexplicably left open. If absolutely everything was shut down there'd be a certain (warped) sense of fairness at least.

In my town the swimming pool in my condo complex was shut down when COVID-19 began and never reopened. I was the only one who ever used it. They could've just made it maximum capacity 2 or something. Meanwhile, the bar down the street was left open until it became a superspreader event. Anecdotally, I think we've all seen the idiocy and inconsistency at all levels of government which adds to the cynicism and apathy.
This is fine.

No seriously. Hear me out.

If you are a proponent of capitalism then this is how the system works.

The little fish grow into big fish. The big fish eat the little fish. The ecosystem suffers.

It has always been this way. Many of us remember Microsoft in the nineties. Fewer will remember the phone or oil industry doing the same.

Don’t fight this issue. Fight the system that tolerates this pattern. Money in politics, high cost of litigation are both the real concerns.

What do you need in a calendar service that you can't find elsewhere?

I use the Calendar app with NextCloud[0] for a CalDAV server + calendar web interface. It's fully-featured as far as I can tell. I use its CalDAV functionality to sync to my Android phone using DAVx^5[1], which integrates the calendars natively so that you can use whatever calendar app you want on your phone (I use Etar[2]).

I don't know why you would read kemiller2002's comment as implying the actions of the insurrectionists would earn a "timeout" for everyone who voted for Trump.

The insurrectionists were eager to be aggrieved about something. I guess they got their wish, those of them going into timeout. We don't all have to adopt this pose.
> "So imagine our surprise when Amazon launched their service in 2015 based on Elasticsearch and called it Amazon Elasticsearch Service. We consider this to be a pretty obvious trademark violation. NOT OK."

I don't understand. If I have an ISP and I offer mysql servers, can't I call that offering "Eznzt MySQL Service"?
I wonder if the author's remark suggests a culture where the developer and their users are talking to each other more, and on more equal footing. Not always realistic, not always welcome by the grumpier ones, but certainly more hackerlike.

It's interesting to see differences in desired features here, because I'm currently writing my third novel, and ditched my previous editors because I realised I needed basically no features - I need a clean canvas without distractions, and ability to do some basic tagging for cross-references. That's it. So now I'm writing in my own editor, in windows with nothing but the text - not even a menu or title bar - and literally not a single one of the features you list.

Some of it because I don't want to focus on it while writing and/or because it's something my editor or proofreader handles (grammar and style correction, typography, selection by font, search & replace of formatting, ebook export). Some of it because I'd rather pick and choose separate tools (name generators, backups, data integrity). Some because I've never had a use for it (pinboards, character databases beyond a folder of plain text files by name, snip management).

To be clear, I'm not at all disputing that these features can be useful or essential for you. I just find it fascinating how different our expectations are.

There's room for a lot of very different editors for the writers market, as people have very strong and contradictory ideas about what you need... The UI for Papyrus Autor looks like something I might have nightmares about, for example...
I think one day we’re going to wake up and discover that AWS mostly runs on Graviton (ARM) and not x86. And on that day intel’s troubles will go from future to present.

My standing theory is that the m1 will accelerate it. Obviously all the wholly managed AWS services (Dynamo, Kinesis, S3, etc.) can change over silently, but the issue is EC2. I have a MBP, as do all of my engineers. Within a few years all of these machines will age out and be replaced with m1 powered machines. At that point the idea of developing on ARM and deploying on x86 will be unpleasant, especially since Graviton 2 is already cheaper per compute unit than x86 is for some work loads; imagine what Graviton 3 & 4 will offer.
If you're a paying customer, you are probably fine.

If you're using SSPL'd Elastic (or Mongo DB, the risks are the same) for anything serious -- i.e. beyond a hobby, get legal advice ASAP.

SSPL isn't an OSI certified license; many would call it at best a 'shared source' license because of the riders attached.

[DELETED because, as user `gpm` points out, OSI doesn't own 'open source' as a trademark, sorry about that -- the need for legal advice doesn't go away, however.] In fact given their kvetching about Amazon and their trademark, Elastic's cheerleading of open source in this and the original blog post seems to be a bit misleading and doing OSI's trademark a disservice.[/DELETED]
I work in the non-destructive testing industry, testing aerospace parts. We build CNC testing rigs fairly regularly, with x and y axes longer than 30 feet, and carry loads of >1000 lbs. These need to be able to center on holes with diameters of <1 mm, because that's what we calibrate our equipment on.

The most reliable build setups we have are kevlar belts coupled with 16:1 reduced stepper motors, and decoupled encoders that index using constant pressure rack and pinions. Even pre-tensioned ball screws give us enough slop to be a problem without encoders, and kevlar belts are an order of magnitude cheaper; going with a reduced stepper vs a servo takes the cost down by half.

Certainly. I think the idea is you pick and choose the plugins that suit you (so it's probably not a perfect fit for OP) based on what you think your strengths and weaknesses are. And taste: I want to slap everyone who sticks an adjective in front of "unique", so that rule works for me. No matter what Black says, all linters are an aggregation of someone's tastes and you are free to tweak as you see fit. Descriptivism beats prescriptivism where language is concerned IMHO.

I'm particularly well-read on the Rittenhouse case. I've seen all the livestreams and tracked new developments as the case approaches trial. My impression of the case clearly differs from yours. I will outline my view and the evidence behind it:

Kyle Rittenhouse is not far-right or a "Boogaloo adherent." There is no evidence to back those claims. These claims were made early on with zero proof by US Congresswomen Ayanna Pressley [0], then widely repeated as truth. In actual fact, he's a teenage Republican and former Public Safety Cadet [1].

He acted in self-defense. Extensive video evidence and witness testimony proves this [2]. I'll be surprised if the jury returns a guilty verdict. If you disagree, I'd ask that you review his legal team's video [2] which lays forth most of the evidence in Kyle's favor. Their analysis aligns with and augments that done by the New York Times' Visual Investigations team [3].

The assembled evidence is clear, compelling, and exonerates Rittenhouse. A deep-dive convinced progressive columnist Eric Zorn at the Baltimore Sun of Kyle's innocence [4]. Few of those writing about the case on Twitter and in print have immersed themselves in the evidence this way.

As to the California Boogaloo guy, Steven Carrillo: sure, you could call the him far-right. He wasn't a fan of police, Donald Trump, or the Republican Party, per crime scene graffiti and his social media [5]. The Boogaloo movement in general is not ideologically consistent, or consistently far-right, as outlined by GWU professor and extremism researcher JJ MacNab [6]. But to your point, he wasn't part of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Carrillo and his accomplice murdered 2 victims. That leaves a significant number of deaths for which the violent elements of BLM remain responsible, and for which almost no one has been held accountable, even just in the public discourse. The tension between those downplayed crimes and the media spotlight on unruly conservatives has stoked anger among many on the right.

To add: scientific-oriented languages (FORTRAN, Octave/MATLAB, R, Julia, ...) typically use 1-based indexing. I think its largely cultural.
CLI stands for Command Line Interface. An interactive program that works in terminal is not like that by definition.

Another example is 'apt-get' vs aptitude. The earlier is inherently scriptable. The latter needs you to start the program, input a few keys, exit.

fdisk is another terminal program that's not command line.

Nobody has to be evil or bad to read the white papers presented by their vendors rather than doing independent research. A doctor's job is not to figure out the best possible treatment for each patient, as nice as that sounds. It's to improve the life enough of enough people given the time available. If four drugs are approximately equivalent don't blame your doctor if you get the one that's only 90% as effective in your particular case.
Feel this piece ducks one of the most important questions - what is the future and value of x86 to Intel? For a long time x86 was one half of the moat but it feels like that moat is close to crumbling.

Once that happens the value of the design part of the business will be much, much lower - especially if they have to compete with an on form AMD. Can they innovate their way out of this? Doesn't look entirely promising at the moment.
Probably because his crime was, rather arbitrarily, divided into sub-crimes, and the sentences for these were summed.
You can abuse an unconnected output for this. Assume you're on a laptop and the internal screen is LVDS1 and you have another connector called HDMI1.

Run xrandr to see the current configuration, pick the desired resolution for the second screen from the LVDS1 list and run "xrandr --addmode HDMI1 1920x1080" to tell X11 that that output supports that resolution, then do "xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1920x1080 --right-of LVDS1". This should now have extended your desktop and with a bit of luck you can share that screen with Deskreen. I've used that trick with x11vnc in the past at least. (If Deskteen supports sharing arbitrary regions of your screen you can even skip the whole output fakery and just make your virtual screen larger than your display using --fb, but that's a little fragile since most software assumes that the whole usable screen is covered by outputs.)

Please note I typed this on my phone so there might be some mistakes or typos in there but you should be able to fix those. :-)

If you want a custom resolution that isn't in the list of your primary screen you need to create that first using cvt and then xrandr --newmode before anything else.
A few years ago I was in a team and one of our coworkers was (perhaps due to sexism) continually stuck with charliework like keeping notes of meetings with clients. She eventually started recording all meetings in her cellphone and summarizing key points at a later leisurely pace so she could also effectively participate in the meeting.

This was like before the Olympics in Brazil, so it must have been 2015, maybe earlier. Since then, I've always assumed that someone is secretively recording all meetings where I have to wear a suit.

Much, much earlier, during the 2008 meltdown, meetings sometimes ended with loosen-up remarks that one wouldn't want recorded (one client was a big corp whose CEO was known to have an extremely attractive wife). These were valuable bonding moments, but maybe they underscored a corporate culture that had its downsides (like making the pretty girl in the team do all the charliework).

People talk about over-population but I've driven across America numerous times and there appears to be TONS of room for more people.

It appears that you need 1/4 acre to be able to grow enough food to support a family and with nuclear power for heat...it seems like a lot more population growth is possible.

The way Thai's feel about honor and defamation is a lot more complex and causes friction when the (existing Western) system tries to apply legal rules of how conflict is resolved (and punishment is applied) in an environment where the old values of honor are still valid.

when I still lived in the South of Thailand early 90ies we took people diving from Koh Samui, Koh Phan-gan, Koh Tao. The relationship between Thai's and the law is a strange one. It's almost like there are 2 systems. One for Thais one for "Farang".

A Thai would not dare to speak ill of the monarchs. They leave the room if a "farang" has had one too many and says something critical (they're peace loving but their love of peace might end there). This applies to both the very rich and the very poor.

We hired the captain from another region of the South to transport our divers. He was with the company since the day these islands were still 100% jungle and the place belonged to local fishermen. The reason why he left the region was because he had an argument and killed his neighbor. The deal was that he would not get killed only if he left the region and settled without ever returning to his family - this is considered not just shameful but seen as a huge disadvantage to make a living. They settled it without police, lawyer, bailiff, or judge, all among themselves.

Our other captain (in charge of the boat that left Koh Phangan) was also the right hand man of the most powerful person on the island. That guy was like a major, or village elder because he owned what was then the only "super market" on the island, and lot of the land. Our captain and "right hand man" to this guy was a devout monk (every year for several months left his wife to sweep the floor in silence in the monastery). He was a family man, highly respected within the community, and it was no secret among Thais that he was also heavily armed and had a body count of 12 people in his short life (late 20ies).

While murder is obviously illegal by law in Thailand, it is still used as a way by locals to settle disputes within rural areas of the South. The illegality isn't even considered here since in this case they see it as their moral duty which still trumps whatever some judge/lawyer's definition of justice is who has never before left Krung Thep.

Long story short it's quite complex to transform what is still in ways a tribal society into what we call "law-abiding" citizen. Especially when the law contradicts the values of society. And even more so when the existing police force is just a show for the tourists and to the urban population.

"The heart" may be a strong term - the eyes and hands, maybe, but the brain, at least, appears to be separate.

Still a very cool project.
0 based indexing sure is a harmful and needless source of cognitive overhead in most cases, I would be nice to have a list/wiki of all common yet considered harmful language constructs/behaviors.

It seems to me that once you're in the terrain of "feeling" requiring a (suitable) nervous system, you've already crossed the borders of "p-zombie" experience, having already recognized analogous behavioural and physiological reactions as evidence of "feeling" (whatever that might imply).

I get that your point is much broader; the meaning of "feeling" is going to keep staring you in the face when thinking about a question like this, but it's a sophomoric question to anyone who accepts the possibility of it's discovery without a metaphysical understanding of a sunflower's conscious experience.

And Elastic tried going the legal route:

https://searchaws.techtarget.com/news/252471650/AWS-faces-El...

It sounds like their whole issue was about confusion in the marketplace, though, and when someone does an oopsie that results in that kind of confusion, it may not be enough to take care of it quietly, on the side. So it seems now Elastic is making more noise, in an effort to clarify things more publicly.

They do. They've done similar things with Redis and MariaDB, both of whom also offer commercial solutions. The SAs all insist that "no it's a partnership". I don't fault them they're parroting the marketing line. With the new Grafana stuff that seems more like a real partnership because you have to purchase the enterprise features and support from the marketplace. What they've done to Redis and partiularly Elastic is pretty shameful.

The Elasticsearch Service has problems: you can't join the cluster like you can with the normal version, permissions are janky at best, it's slow, and it's expensive. For those reasons the projects my team used it on opted to roll our own elasticsearch cluster which proved a better solution long term beyond the initial annoyances. I say that to say it's not a one to one product, which will probably be their defense.
I can see this happening for things that run in entirely managed environments but I don't think AWS can make the switch fully until that exact hardware is on people's benches. Doing microbenchmarking is quite awkward on the cloud, whereas anyone with a Linux laptop from the last 20 years can access PMCs for their hardware
