"wars did the UK have with France in some form or another"

I suspect most of those were English wars with France, some parts of what is now the UK tended to side with France in these conflicts:

This tradition lives on in the "Anyone but England" rule at sporting events... ;-)
What are these recruiters you all talk about? Are these some middlemen you contract to get you a job? Like an athlete's/actor's agent?

I only had experience with recruiters who work for the organisation I'm interviewing for. None of this contact info / skills tampering makes sense in that context.

> Have some particular work or meaning to each day to keep you grounded, and you can do the moving around for a super-long time.

What kind of mission can you suggest someone might have while traveling that will keep them grounded?
> The problem isn't "we can't come up with a definition of life", it's "every time we define life, we don't like the results".

Well said. E.g., for almost any definition of life, we end up with superorganisms like ant colonies and bee hives being live things--not to mention cities and human societies being superorganisms too.
There is so much code out there to help you do typed params and to stop you having to concat strings to make queries. You don't need an orm for this.
We've established that you did "put down America in general". We can disagree over whether that constitutes self-flagellation. Moving on, I didn't say you are "anti-American" nor did I say that there's anything wrong with "criticizing one's country". I will say that criticizing a culture is hard because cultures are not uniform, which was my point ("decayed industrial town in the Midwest" and "bastion of liberal globalism" are very different in terms of "disinterest in the outside world").

I don't question your experiences, I only pointed out that they are yours, and I doubt they can be universalized. The kind of meaning that you're talking about just isn't one-size-fits-all.
Not that you're exactly wrong, but I would argue that advantage meant more, not less, as time went on. In both World Wars it granted the US mainland the insuperable strategic advantage of being effectively impossible to attack in any meaningful way - not so much, though, in the days when the Royal Navy still bestrode the world.
If a reasonable person would have understood that her having sex with you was contingent on you being a non-smoker, then I would argue that yes you did rape her.
An important caveat is that they also post lots of normal content, so that it's harder to argue that RT should be blocked outright, and harder to identify the propaganda.
Forgive me asking but which country do you live in.

I often have debates with my wife about country vs city living, but I don't think buying a gun / attack dog / big security system ever comes into the equation. (UK based).

Am I not paranoid enough, are you over paranoid? Is there a Bayesian equation we need here?

Just to put up an alternative I just read this

The guy cycled through Europe and India, met some guy in a bar in Italy and ended up sleeping on his couch and eating home cooked Pasta lunch the next day. A different approach would be to drive with a gun under the seat. I think something is missing.
I do not doubt that you care about Rust. Civility, though, is a two-way street. Just because you phrase something in a way that has a more neutral tone does not mean that the underlying meaning cannot be inflammatory.

"Instead of carefully weighing advantages and disadvantages of both models," may be written in a way that more people would call "civil," but is in practice a direct attack on both the work, and the people doing the work. It is extremely difficult to not take this as a slightly more politely worded "fuck you," if I'm being honest. In some sense, that it is phrased as being neutral and "civil" makes it more inflammatory.

You can have whatever opinion that you want, of course. But you should understand that the stuff you've said here is exactly that. It may be politely worded, but is ultimately an extremely public direct attack.
Or at least random people on the internet
California has similar laws. That if the work was done in California even if you live or are currently remote you owe California state income tax on those earnings.
The problem is that this tables are like "foreign" to the db, in a micro-service mindset (the worst anti-pattern to date!).

That is a major complication.

In Django, this solve neatly, because I can point to my own table or easily integrate the ones of Django without much fuss. This turn all this in a non-issue.

I believe the IRS would investigate many small donations under the gift tax. An analogy would be restaurant servers claiming their tips as gifts and thus not disclosing it as income.

I’m sure there are clauses to avoid abusing gift tax as a loop hole for providing a service.
My colleague just left after doing a load of AWS exams. I am left to fix his mess. He will create another over engineered over complex mess. He values clever over maintainable. I am not sure exams are the answer, but I don't have a better suggestion.
Which brings us to Al Murrays discourse on the topic which is actually impressively well researched, if he does stretch things a bit for comic effect.

Yup. Very similar language, but good luck going from ASP.NET MVC to Spring Boot without missing a beat. Or from WinForms and WPF to Swing and whatever else is new and hot in Java-land. Not to mention NuGet vs Maven, EntityFramework vs Hibernate, etc.
As a Canadian it's one of the pieces of history that is embedded in my mind. I grew up in a town that was burned down by American troops in the war, and pretty mercilessly at that.

There's even a Wikipedia article about it... which is rare because not much has happened down there except for one of my heroes Rick Danko.

(at the time of the raid, my family's respective sides were still to be in Ayrshire and Ulster for another hundred-and-fifty years or so—no historical connection to the event, or even the war excepting they probably had as much disdain for the British as Americans might have. Go figure.)

Taxes don’t work like that, anywhere in the world. Your argument is “Someone doesn’t care or know about taxes, so this is going to cause problems to them”. Yes, indeed. As it should IMO.
The *.example.com cookie is the problem. A malicious subdomain under example.com will get that cookie and can use it to impersonate users.
Sorry, but this is still insane.

It makes absolutely no sense that a non-American has to pay up to 24% tax on money from American viewership, and then again pay income tax.

As far as I know, there is no other countries in the world with such an insane policy. Being subject to taxes from a country you don't belong to exactly as if you lived there (these aren't sales taxes), is completely unreasonable.

Remember, this is on top of existing sales taxes, what it really is is the US trying to double-tax non-US citizens on their income.

The title is reasonable.
I found it highly critical but not inflammatory - though I'm not sure if I'd've felt the same way had they been being similarly critical of -my- code.

However, either way, responding with condescension (which is how the 'industry standard' thing came across) and outright aggression is never going to be constructive, and if that's the only response one is able to formulate then it's time to either wait a couple hours or ask somebody else to answer on your behalf instead (I have a number of people who are kind enough to do that for me when my reaction is sufficiently exothermic to make posting a really bad idea).

boats-of-a-year ago handled a similar situation much more graciously here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22464629 - so it's entirely possibly a lockdown fatigue issue - but responding to calmly phrased criticism with outright aggression is still pretty much never a net win and defending that behaviour seems contrary to the tone the rust team normally tries to set for discussions.
The main reason is that by seeing how other countries and other cultures live, it challenges your idea that the Western way is the best (and only) way of living.

Why do we need huge houses and big cars and shiny new things? I see people in other countries that are just as happy and their kids are playing with a soccer ball made from old plastic bags. Westerners have so much and yet, really, we're no better off.
> I want to treat them the same no matter if they went to Stanford or were not working for 10 years or if this is their first job.

I don't agree. If I'm interviewing someone straight out of college there are things I wouldn't expect them to really know and focus on whether they are focused and motivated enough to learn those things on the job. If the person at 15 years experience and doesn't know things which are a normal part of the kind of job I do, it would be a deal breaker.
Same basic mechanism, but social media is a lot more efficient because (mis-)information travels much faster and reaches more people in shorter time, so you don't get the "cool down effect" of a slower transport medium.
Ha Ha. Thats’s even worse than the ‘C Hashtag’ that an HR dude was rambling on about.
I can't speak to "best", but I can say that I've been very happy with BazQux Reader. It has good keyboard shortcuts, is very fast, lets you make filters within your subscriptions, has a good in-reader article view, a good mobile site (no app, which I like), and also allows to subscribe to see social media sites if that's your thing. I had previously used Feedly and much prefer BQR

From a legal perspective, what is the advantage in a proprietary alternative?
Some years ago I picked up an old HP thin client that was essentially one of these mini boxes, popped in a mini-IDE SSD and maxed out the processor and memory. Set it up to try out CentOS and ended up using it as a small home server for a few months. I love this form factor, and the next time I'm in the market for a home server it's going to be my first choice.

Well, thanks for all the plastic waste.
The enragement alone isn't the concern. Social media can enrage people at a previously unattainable scale and speed, and with less central authority (proxy for trust) than ever before.

Newspapers, magazines, and even TV don't measure up across all these contributing dimensions.
I really meant have projects related to work or hobby. Don’t just travel.

Example some people do YouTube channel.

Some do side projects.

Others attend short term language classes in the country they’re visiting.

Some start businesses.

It's webGL, what did you expect?
Except that Google is an American company.
agreed. Absolutely something we could agree to disagree on. Ultimately none of us really controls that tech or its development so all equally valid speculation until we see more news.
Wasn't Thunderbolt networking an option?
Are you saying that there should be punishment for fraudulently getting consent to sex?
I think there is a presupposition that being enraged is always bad. If the government is not working and all online dissent is oppressed by algorithms no one will be able to effect change and then you will have an enragement bubble so to speak. That bubble bursting will be much worse than people simply being enraged and voicing their concerns.
It's not beside the point, it's the other face of the discussion. Building and calling SQL queries from a programming language without an ORM often sucks. SQL is not the simple language the author seems to talk about. ORMs have leaky abstractions. All of this is true.
> Given how much of EU innovation is bogged down by regulatory capture, I am extremely skeptical of this (note, I know EU/UK are separated, but nevertheless, lobbying is lobbying, universally)

I share your scepticism about lobbying, was always mindful that Brussels in regards to the EU made lobbiests access to MEP's easier than the people they serve and all in one location - a lobbiyst dream that.

So be interesting how the EU and UK versions of this law diverge over time.

But however cynical I am, it's better than what we have now and from that, a start. How it goes from there will be future changes and debate down the line.

I certainly hope the whole green/eco/responsible ethos is used to drive thru improvements like this and shift away from disposable, cheap, just engineered enough to last a few years when a bit of extra cost would of made it last longer.
Google is a multinational, they have a subsidiary in almost every single country. If they wanted, they could operate the local YouTube creator services under every jurisdiction not to charge this tax, and may very well be forced to.
You clearly don't know much about modern farming, but do not a lot about the tropes that the anti-animal agriculture movement have brought out.

Antibiotics are not functional against viruses. They don't make any difference. Where antibiotics are used it must be under qualified medical care, farmers can't just go buy them at the corner store, any more than you can. (15 years ago they could buy them, I don't remember exactly when the laws changed) Even when they are used (never in chickens), there can be not detectable antibiotics in food, and we can detect very tiny amounts.

Animals in close proximity are very isolated. Farmers have strict bio security rules before you can enter the barns.
This article (whether we like the current practises or not) highlights the value of practice. What is interesting is the (anecdotal) trend of "reverse abuse"? I know several folks who routinely take time out of their schedule each month to go through one or two interviews with real companies just to not get rusty. This way when the faang time comes they are ready and don't have to block out 2-3 months leetcoding again. Clearly if you cannot beat them take advantage of them!
YouTube is operated by Google Ireland Limited, which is not in the US, so your base argument is flawed...
I agree that this is the goal. The problem is that the more I think about being on my deathbed (or death, or read obituaries, etc.) the more I realize I won't care how I spent my life. All of which tells me that how I spend my time today is irrelevant. A long run perspective most definitely does not tell you what really matters to you.
> as soon as you want to enable users to self-host, esp on-prem/airgapped, any internet dependencies, unscannable code, etc, will fail basic env and security reqs.

Hmmm. My employer has people who have used our commercial, closed source, self hosted auth software and obtained PCI compliance. I'm not a security expert, but my understanding is that is a relatively rigorous security process. Am I incorrect?

How do you deal with the "Amazon/GCP/Azure takes the OSS software and cross sells it to their customer base" problem? This is something I've been thinking about for years and years.

Not that this is your problem to solve :) and I get that as a customer of a software business one typically doesn't care, but thought I'd ask.

One answer I've heard is "be better at running your software than AWS" which makes sense, but doesn't address cross selling. AWS doesn't have to be the best at running ElasticSearch, they just have to be good enough because they own a major distribution and payment channel.

Another answer I've heard is "you should be so lucky as to have a public cloud pick up your OSS project" which I totally understand (obscurity is a bigger competitor than the public could for most projects). But it doesn't address the very real threat to the business which may arrive just when the project can start to throw off profits to pay back the initial investment.

Again, I realize there's nuance here and that if a company takes the contributions of the community that can accelerate their growth and feature set. But I'm just curious on your take on the public cloud provider angle.

It's an interesting one.

The objective function for serving content surely isn't literally to get people angry, rather to "promote engagement" or whatever, which turns out to be the same thing.

Can you ban a company from trying to optimise its key metrics? No. So what do you do? If the enraging content is there anyway, what's wrong with pointing people to it? If you're allowed to sell dynamite to the public in your shop, why not point angry customers to it?

To me the whole model is broken, and picking individual bits of it that aren't is not the constructive approach.
I like SQL. The problem with SQL is that it is a string and simple errors, like an extra comma, are not caught by the compiler/interpreter. Are there good well-thought out libraries that are isomorphic to SQL but can be used with a language like Python or Clojure?

For example, I want to write simple SQL queries this way:

(-> "table" (cols col1 col2 col3) (where (= col1 10)) (order-by col3 :desc))
LINQ is still very much alive and well. I think you're thinking of LINQ to SQL which was an ORM in its own right.

Then along came entity framework which also supports LINQ querying syntax (or you can use expressions).
There is still plenty of water there. What they failed at was that they greatly overestimated how permeable the sandstone that holds the water is. That is, the flow of water sideways in the aquifer is much slower than expected. They pumped the area directly under the pumps almost dry and then were surprised about how slowly it refilled.

It would still be possible to fix this and reach the original targets by building more pumping stations, further away from each other than the existing ones. That or frack the rock formation...
That seems like a mistake or typo. It doesn't even make sense as PIDs are ephemeral and recycled, and installing per-PID rules would be inherently race prone, unless installed by the process itself. It would effectively be a fundamentally broken design.

It's possible there's some other mechanism implied here that permits attaching rules to tagged processes or groups. Maybe they were implicating per-process routing tables or jails, which actually create inheritable contexts amenable to long-term identifiers for ruleset reference, and aren't literally per PID.

It seems more likely they were just referring to UID/GID, but I guess iptables has had an ancillary module for that for quite awhile. In any event, I can't find the quote so it definitely seems it was wrong or at least misleading and they simply retracted it.
Was it brown or green?
And why do you think that is? Because nobody takes responsibility for their actions or emotions anymore. Why should they - they don't need to - we've pathologized everything, from behavioral issues to depression (nobody ever says "I am depressed", they say "I have depression", which is another thing entirely and delegates all responsibility to manage oneself to outside forces).

And another pathology: "I acted like an idiot because an Internet Website made me feel things and I couldn't control myself. Now I need Someone Else to make decisions on my behalf".

That's how personal liberty gets extinguished.
What worked for me (oversimplified):
1. Find an interest you're excited about and/or spend a lot of money in (climbing). It'll be easier creating something of value for yourself.
2. Write down what could be improved there. Problems you run into. Solutions you use that suck, or chose not to use because they suck. Build your problem understanding. (developing climbing technique and staying hyped)
3. Find others who're interested in this space. (fellow climbers)
4. Build your problem understanding. Ask them what is challenging, frustrating or annoying for them as climbers. Ask them what they've tried or are trying and what they like/dislike.
5. Come up with a solution. Make something super small. A landing page that explains your idea. A brochure. Something ideally that you can make within a week. A day's even better.
6. Show your solution to people you'd consider customers. Ask them for feedback about how they think this could solve their problem. (for me I came up with an online program, designed a landing page with google sheets and showed it as if it was an actual website. Climbers gave me feedback that they wanted to know more about the practical way of learning - exercises, etc)
7. Repeat step 5&6 until you have confidence this is worth building. Then you've got your idea you're asking for. Congrats. You've ended up at the hardest point: figuring out how to execute on your idea and get all the parts right and figuring out how to sell and market it.
It is a form of income tax, yes. It's on top of sales taxes. And yes this means double taxation..
Also: https://reneweconomy.com.au/australias-big-fossil-fuel-gener... ("Australia’s big fossil fuel generators are being replaced by big batteries")

"But what is clear is that there is a massive shift happening here. Coal is on the way out, as is “baseload” gas, and wind and solar and storage facilities, particularly battery storage, are on the way in. And many of the biggest batteries are being planned at the sites of coal and gas generators already closed or expected to close in coming years or decades."

"The sizes it is mooting are up to 500MW (and maybe two hours storage) for Liddell, 250MW and four hours storage at Torrens (1,000MWh), and 200MW and four hours storage (800MWh) at Loy Yang A. The final call on storage duration will be determined by the sort of market opportunities it sees for the batteries in the different states – longer for storing excess wind and solar, shorter for grid security services."
The difference is that Twitter and Facebook "launder" sources by putting their banner at the top. A sensationalist newspaper piece is typically grounded in some reality, but it appears in your "feed" right next to completely unmoored conspiracy theories from your loonier aunts and uncles. To a passive consumer it all blends together. Even for the active consumer, most them don't have enough information literacy skills to tell the difference or critically examine sources.
> No one should bother to apply since they don't qualify instantly.

I never assume the "requirements" are actually hard requirements to an application, and I encourage others in the job market to do the same.

Sure, if you miss 3 out of the 5 requirements listed you might pass on that application. But if you've got 4 out of the 5 requirements, and think you could accomplish the job as described, you should still strongly consider sending in an application. Don't lie on your CV that you submit, but you can still submit your CV.

You never know which requirements are actually hard requirements for the org, and which were just listed that way on the job listing.

Org mode is plain text. Basic text editing in Org style may be done with any editor. Let us say those features to enter TODO or change state from TODO to DONE or PENDING, could work faster if then in other editor exists macro function. With macro functions you can pretty fast prepare basic Org functions. Folding headings is maybe something that cannot be easily implement in other editors.

Vim has Org mode too https://github.com/jceb/vim-orgmode

Those mobile editors usually do not have macro functionality. But as soon as you have editor with macros it is possible within some 30 minutes to make few macros to add tags, change TODO states, add SCHEDULED or DEADLINE stamps or similar basic features.
