IMO the tools that have been created to fill the gaps seem to be poor imitations of dotNet, rails, and java frameworks.

The testing framework I saw in a React app were almost straight from java, but somehow (despite JS being more flexible and script) MUCH uglier.

While shaming and scolding might be overused, it's a legitimate tool in some cases. The problem is that a lot of sjw are punching down while telling themselves they are punching up because the person is white.

How often did I end up in a room full of urban, university educated people looking down on the white rural common folks.

The common people are not always common by choice. It's not necessarily by choice that they can't follow wonkish academic stories about the history of race to understand modern issues. It's not necessarily by choice that they can't see all the shades of gray of advanced morality and sort out complex issues about gender and race. These are the type of people that need to see a moral guide every week just to follow a simple morality where they can't process much beyond stereotypes.

The best AIs out there are not able to simulate advanced empathy. It is highly complex and involves multilevel recursive counterfactual meta-cognitive logic (https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/K4eDzqS2rbcBDsCLZ/unrolling-...). Given the level of complexity, I don't expect everyone to be able to intuitively get it.

A lot of people are intellectually underprivileged and too often, sjw like to scorn and mock them for their handicap.

The way I see it, Trumpism is made of an evil right wing elite that has managed to capture a large swath of simple minded folks party because these simple folks were pushed away from more reasonable political affiliation.

Populism doesn't have to be negative. The US constitution starts with We the People, not We the Scholars. Yes populism means unsophisticated views but these could be aligned with reasonable policy as much as right wing policy if the left didn't show so much contempt for the intellectually and morally disadvantaged. Democracy means you need unsophisticated people to vote with you to win elections.
To be fair, it is very hard for the government to successfully prosecute an anti-trust case, because of jurisprudence by Robert Bork (yes, that Bork of Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre infamy and failed Supreme Court nomination) that essentially gutted antitrust law in a shameless example of judicial activism in opposition to the plain letter of the statutes:

(that's a right-wing publication, by the way, not one that's ideologically predisposed against Bork).

1. In what way does it make it worse?
2. Do you have some common examples of left wing extremism that are rampant and unchecked? I have many examples in my personal Facebook feed of right wing extremism, but few or perhaps no left wing extremism, despite many of my right wing friends voicing a similar complaint.

> Why couldn't you just upgrade the dependencies once then set up the same CI/CD you're presumably using for Svelte so that you can them upgrade versions easily?

Because the existing system was painful & time/energy intensive to upgrade. It happens with tight coupling, dependency hell, unchecked incidental complexity, architecture churn, leaky abstractions, etc...

Maintenance hell & > 1 month major version upgrades tend to occur with large, encompassing, first-mover frameworks, often built on a brittle set of abstractions, as they "mature" & "adapt" to the competition. e.g. Rails, Angular...

Yes. 1945 post-war Germany saw mass-censoring as part of the Allied de-Nazification program: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denazification

"the US Army continued its efforts to denazify Germany through control of German media. The Information Control Division of the US Army had by July 1946 taken control of 37 German newspapers, six radio stations, 314 theaters, 642 cinemas, 101 magazines, 237 book publishers, and 7,384 book dealers and printers."
Not your parent poster, but I manually configured them as primary and secondary DNS servers (dockerized PiHole), and then just used pi-hole's "export configuration / restore configuration" tool to keep the DNSs mostly in sync.

I heard there's a tool called Gravity Sync that will sync them, but I have not tried it yet.

that's absolutely true

The i3 desktop CPU is an entry level CPU because it can still handle entry level workloads, consuming a lot more energy than the state of the art because providing high end performances while consuming less energy than the competitors is not worth the entry level segment money.

Entry level means (IMO) good enough for as little money as possible in a non pro field (as in: your salary do not depend on the performances of the device)

M1 Macs are not in that segment.

It would be interesting to see a barebones ethernet switch board with some L2/L3 features (VLAN, LACP, etc.) on the switch chip in the data plane, interfaced to the CM4 as the brain and management plane, as something with more programmability than commercial lower-end switches (same price range as Mikrotik/Ubiquiti gear).

I wonder how programmable/open/capable low-cost ethernet switching chips are these days.
It would seem from the language of Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohingya_genocide, pp2) that the military (current group in power) bears chief responsibility--one thing I do know is that the military long existed as an independent power structure in the country. So it seems like they would only have driven the genocide its leaders had wanted to (given that this has been a deliberate, years-long operation). Perhaps someone with deeper knowledge could say more.

It's interesting to see they are branching out to smaller, lesser known more regional schools. Pretty far from their debut in Harvard/Kendall Square.

1. Daryl Davis is literally the only person ever mentioned in this context. If you don't have another example, this doesn't even qualify as an anecdote anymore.

2. Over the course of multiple decades Davis has, via intense 1:1 work and personal connection and at great risk to himself, deradicalized something like 4 dozen people. Gab alone had something like 400k accounts.

Any comment or insight you can share on the overall increase in downtime over the past few years?
Wow, this is super interesting.

I didn't realize launching satellites had become so turnkey now where you don't have all the friction of dealing with NASA or any large space agency.

Nanoracks has an interesting list of customers, like Adidas and Double-Tree by Hilton?!
I'd like a subset of IPv6 to be geographic lat/lon coordinates for non mobile use. No routing tables necessary and easy to filter by location.
I use it everyday! I work in a highly regulated industry and for some reason it's the only "validated" distribution that we could get approved to run internal web apps. I'm pretty sure that's false, but I'll take any Linux I can get over Windows, and its tools for system management are actually pretty great.
That's precisely the irritating image people like that have of themselves, which does not correspond to reality. What does it mean "beholden to trigger warnings"? I'm not sure in which sense you are beholden to something which you likely haven't even encountered outside of internet posts making fun of trigger warnings. What magic words are those? Not saying n*gger in polite company isn't censorship, it's just good manners. And who exactly has been fired for "believing male and female are real concepts"? This is some borderline delusional shit.

The "I know I'll be downvoted for this brave opinion" bit is the icing on the cake.
>Should Iran also investigate if Iranian residents trade on Binance?

It isn't a matter of should. But they definitely could, if Binance operates in Iran, and they suspect Binance is doing something that is against the law there.

>And if they do, why is it Binance responsibility to bow to the Iranian government?

If they want to conduct business with Iran, then they have to take on that responsibility. If they don't care about conducting business with Iran, they are welcome to not listen to any demands and just walk away.

>And if they don't bow, why should Binance bow to the US?

If they don't bow, they won't be able to conduct transactions and business with US entities completely, such as banks and payment providers. Whether they should bow or not is up to whether they want to continue that relationship.

For context, Binance DOES operate within the US, they just have a separate entity set up for it called Binance US that is fully compliant with US regulations and doesn't allow trading crypto derivatives (only regular crypto coins). Binance (the non-US one that allows derivatives) is self-blocking US users. The allegation is that despite all of that, Binance allowed derivative crypto trades to slip through the cracks in the US.

If Binance doesn't comply and is at fault, then they are risking getting their Binance US entity prevented from operating in the US. This has nothing to do with world policing or anything like that. If the business you are conducting in a country doesn't comply with local regulations, you are running a risk of getting investigated and asked to either fix it up (if you were given such a chance depending on circumstances) or get out, as simple as that.

This is the first I've heard if the ISS holding onto satellites, I thought satellites are deployed by the launch rocket and just put into orbit.

It's a commercial service, from Nanoracks.[1] They load cubesats into a container, have them shipped to the ISS, and the satellites are "launched" with a spring. So they're in roughly the same orbit as the ISS.

The price just went way up. NASA raised their price on transport to the Space Station from $3,000 per kilogram to $20,000 per kilogram. They also raised the astronaut labor rate to $130,000/hour. NASA was subsidizing the ISS launch scheme. So future cubesats will probably be launched from a Falcon 9 using one of Space-X's resellers.

there was a time when IP blocking was enough to satisfy regulators but now they're basically saying there is nothing a company can do

one of the case studies in my ethics course during my Computer Science degree was about the regulators being satisfied with IP blocks and aware "determined" people could circumvent them due to the structure of the internet. that was a case 20 years ago.

now they're saying that's not good enough? you don't have to be particularly determined to use a VPN but the state can just give better guidance or be more collaborative instead of adversarial
You used "they" a couple times in that comment and it is important to question who "they" is given the political environment in Myanmar. Is the "they" that paid for the satellite and did the R&D the same "they" that who would be controlling the satellite? If not, would the new "they" use the capabilities of this satellite in a nefarious way?
The repetitive comment is funny to me because I think the same about soccer - ball gets kicked to one end, goal is missed, ball gets kicked to the other end, repeat ad nauseam. Which probably ties nicely to the sibling comment about knowing the intricacies of game play - I'm sure there's more the soccer than what I just described, but it's lost on me because I have no background in the sport.

As for American football - I used to be a huge fan of NCAA and NFL games, even though I never played myself. Of the core American professional sports, it's the only I used to watch regularly. My son played into high school. I happily helped coach his youth teams. But, with the discovery of CTE, I've gone right off watching it. Knowing that the players literally concussing themselves stupid took the fun out of it.
I think we can both agree on that. People have reacted somewhat negatively to my original comment, but I suspect cookie banners have done more harm than good on balance. It’s one of those things where the spirit of the movement got lost.

We were discussing something in a similar vein the other day regarding a security form for an enterprise contract and my reoccurring response was “officially or actually?” There tends to be a big gap between official compliance and what was originally desired.

Many years ago I worked with a mega mega corp that required a complex form with every change request, but they still ran my script that escalated my database permissions because they ran it as root.
Considering left-wing cancellation only, I'm guessing the enforced views are favored by less than 30% of the population. I don't think virtually any conservatives or many moderate liberals agree with the enforced viewpoint. Surely that means the Overton Window is narrowing. When have the views of 70+% of the population ever fell outside the OW? If it excludes the views of 70+%, is it even an "Overton Window" by definition? What's the difference between enforcing an extremely narrow window on the whole population and cultural authoritarianism (or perhaps just "authoritarianism"--I'm not exactly sure on the terminology?)?

The other question is that, while rarer, right-wing cancellation is a thing. Notable examples are Dixie Chicks and Colin Kaepernick. While I could believe that the Dixie Chicks were a matter of an OW shift a few years in the making, and while I can believe that the window shifted gradually leftward from there, I can't believe that it shifted to the extreme left, then abruptly back to the right in just a week's time for the Kaepernick cancellation, and then a week later back to the far left for various left-wing cancellations.

Even if it is the Overton Window, is it eminently desirable that people's livelihoods and healthcare should be subject to expressing views within the OW?

EDIT: Downvoters, I would be very interested in your feedback, genuinely; where am I wrong?
The technique has been used for at least two decades in hardware verification, though the terminology is different. If you search the literature, you'll find terms like "constrained functional verification", "coverage directed test generation", "functional coverage directed test generation", and the like. The technique is the same, random testing, with mutation to try to hit more and more coverage points.
It didn't end at all, I still see people adding Q stickers to cars.
Same, I signed up when GME/DOGE both started spiking since I have DOGE laying around in a wallet. Getting coins into the exchange was easy enough and I can't comment on trying to withdraw but I can say the verification stuff is stupid-slow. I've provided info for all 3 tiers of verification and my account has sat in "pending" for over a month on the last step (first step was instant, second step took a week or so).

I can always buy BTC on coinbase and transfer them over then convert them to USD/(T) but that's not ideal.
You're right, perhaps I should have been even more assertive that "not running up the score" isn't that big a thing even in American sports.

I think a clear case of this though is when a team has the ball with the lead and less than 2 minutes to go, and the other team has no timeouts, it's customary to just take a knee ("victory formation") rather than going on a drive and trying to score again.

The tipping point for me was setting up the infrastructure to network boot my Pis. Now it's trivial for me to plug in a Pi anywhere on the LAN, and even switch what OS it is booting into just by changing a symlink on my fileserver. It's now very easy to experiment with different things, and not worry about the cards dying.
If you’re trying to minimize impact to employees you deploy Monday or Tuesday morning.

I completely agree with you in the regular pro/prosumer end of things. I have 3 D750s, a D610, a D850, and a Z6ii. I have a complete set of 1.4 prime lenses, and some high quality zooms on the long end. I’m “just” a portrait and wedding photographer.

In the ultra high end things get a bit wonky though. Most pro photographers don’t want to deal with the downsides to something like Nikon’s 58mm f/.95 lens, or a medium format digital camera. They’re niche, and have niche use cases.
Yes, and this is why this is not happening anytime soon, and thus (imho) lvl3 won't happen anytime soon.

What comes to mind is the 'Fifth Element' movie, scene when Bruce Willis tampers with the electronics of this cab when police is chasing him, and he's burning the little 'points' he has left.

Perhaps an early implementation could be limited in specific parts (specific highways, when you are 'woken up' before the entry & exit' and the car takes over for the long stretch. A combination of transponders, sensors, magnetic beacons/'drivers' on the asphalt, GPS, radio antennas (kinda like Android/Google maps use for location).

I tend to NOT buy something until proven to work. Musk is a media/marketing freak. He will tell whatever he has to, to serve his business interest. It's down to us to jump the bandwagon, OR wait calmly until the 'thing' is actually produced, tested, proven.
That doesn't mean others won't label you as "extremist".
The one that lost power in the coup. They were in office since 2016. The genocide started in 2016. This seems to be a complicated situation, just like it was in Syria, and anyone who tries to simplify it and show a single sided story is trying to sell you.

SBG is OVH Strasbourg, a complex of data centres that are adjacent to each other, but which were not built at the same time and are architecturally not the same. Yes, SBG1-4 are the different buildings. Some of them are made from stacked shipping containers, but SBG2 was an actual building.

SBG2 basically burned to the ground. The fire also spread into SBG1 if I remember correctly: parts of SBG1 were destroyed but some parts are intact. SBG3 and 4 are also intact. Under the circumstances the entire complex is offline at the moment though, which is not surprising given the scale of the fire and the firefighter response. The photos reminded me of the WTC attack, which shut down lower Manhattan for months.

SBG2 was built like a vertical tunnel, a quadrangle of server rooms with a huge air shaft in the middle, intended to convection-cool the servers through the natural motion of the rising air through it as the air was warmed by the servers. In this case it may have resulted in something like a firestorm, where the fire maintained its own airflow through that column.

I'd be interested to know if there is any hope and/or intention in this situation to recover possibly-operable hard drives from the charred servers for data recovery purposes.

I couldn't believe the complaints about the audio in that mp4. I could understand him perfectly well except a few times his accent got in the way. Better audio wouldn't have mattered much.
Another vote for Svelte from me. But my set up is:

Svelte with Sapper for the front end. It calls API endpoints in a Java Spring backend. I already know Spring very well so this setup is pretty fast for me.

Sometimes I use PostegreSQL but at the moment I am using MySQL.

I don't plan on using this stack for just the MVP though. If any one of my projects picks up traction I plan to keep this stack.
