As a fellow Swede, I must say that BankID is one of the most blantant corruption schemes that have happened in this country.

It's a proprietary product that's not publicly available, and yet it's required for many governmental services. Obviously, it's a recipe for disaster.

For example, when Swedbank found out that I use some service at another company, they closed my access to BankID and told me that I either move that engagement to them or ask the other company (which isn't part of the BankID oligopoly) to somehow get BankID.

Even worse, there are some stories about people losing access to BankID for political opinions. That's China level of repression.
It does but you have to give it a chance to work.

> The DoD is a major step to take, it's not like they would have been deployed early.

Lets pretend its 2:30pm.

Protesters are storming the capitol. Mike Pence was forced into a bunker to hide. Shots fired inside the capitol, killing one of the invaders. Nansi Pelosi is on the Telephone, asking for help. Capitol Police are completely overrun. There are Youtube / Twitch livestreams of protesters breaking and entering inside the Capitol Building. There's all-to-wall coverage of the events on every single news channel and radio network in America.

What do YOU do?

1. Send help?

2. Refuse to send help for 3 hours?

Take a guess what the DoD did.
>This combined with "strings" being byte buffers like in C are not a good thing.

It depends what the problem you're facing with. If the problem is "people writing C++ code with terrible latency characteristics because they don't understand how it works underneath and the stdlib doesn't even provide a way to efficently concatenate strings (i.e. by using a buffer, not allocating new memory)", Zig's approach is a great thing.
With virtual servers this should not be necessary, as it is easy enough to add some disk space. After all, this should not be a common issue in production environments, but more like a once in a decade problem.

With physical servers it might be a different story and might be a good idea. I tend to size filesystems to the requirements I have and enlarge them when required (it gives you a periodic reminder to think about what waste you have accumulated). That way, I can still add space even if the filesystem has been filled up. However, if you do it just to have some space when you need it, it probably is overkill and to have an empty buffer file is a lot easier to handle.
"Relatively demanding" is an understatement. It seems as though you're really downplaying how much this job sucks. The awful nature of the conditions are well known:

https://www.nelp.org/publication/amazons-disposable-workers-...

As for people hired, try upwards of 600,000 in front line roles, with high turnover. They keep hiring because many don't last over a year in the warehouses. People need cash, and the hiring process is incredibly frictionless.

https://www.seattletimes.com/business/amazon/amazons-turnove...

Do these people not deserve better working conditions?
> If it was that bad, I think they'd have a harder time hiring.

You're severely underestimating the punishing conditions of an Amazon warehouse job.

A picker has a tablet that alerts them of an item to get. A clock starts counting down on the time you have to get to the right bin, find the item, and scan it. The warehouse sorting algorithms created by Amazon engineers optimize for retrieval time - but the warehouses are so huge, this means in practice that you have exactly as much time as you need assuming you never stop moving. For your entire 8-9 hour shift.

A typical amazon warehouse worker is essentially powerwalking non-stop for 8 hours straight on hard concrete floors. Breaks begin at a scheduled time, but your break begins when you sign out of your device, then you walk some distance to the break room (typically a 3-5 minute walk), AND you have to be signing back in to your device at the end of your break time. In practice this means your actual resting time on break is typically 5 minutes or less for 15's, 15-20 minutes for lunch. You are not allowed to sit or rest anywhere other than the break room.

If you sign back in only a few seconds late from your break, a manager will speak with you about it. If you sign back in 30 seconds late a few times in a row, you can be fired.

It's true that Amazon pays well in the warehouse space and is constantly hiring people with no experience. However, this isn't because Amazon is a great place to work - it's because there is an incredible amount of churn. People burn out of Amazon warehouse work constantly.

If you search on google for Amazon warehouse stories, you'll find a lot of people talking about how physically punishing the job is, about the constant stress from 22-year-old "managers" doing their rotation through a warehouse and enforcing Amazon's draconian rulebook without a thought in their head about the people they're taking to task for coming back from lunch 30 seconds late.

There's a blog out there from a guy who worked in Amazon warehouses in the Midwest, who documented everything while looking into trying to organize. The stories he tells about the work environment are hair-raising.

Amazon has figured out how to optimize the physical output of a human being, squeezing every last ounce of productivity from them every second of a shift until they either quit from burnout or get fired for not "making rate" (total % of lateness picking or packing assigned items). The fact that Amazon has an endless supply of people signing up to work in this environment says less about Amazon and more about the state of the American economy and how many desperate people are out there who need to sell their physical and mental health to Bezos pay their bills.
> I'm pretty sure Amazon and Tesla pay great relative to their space.

> I'm sure most Amazon warehouse jobs start in the $15-20/hr range. How much better can you really get for what is essentially reading a screen, grabbing something off of a shelf, and putting it in a box?

Amazon is also one of the richest companies in the world, largely dependant on the work of each and every one of those warehouse workers. Why is it ok for the company to try to squeeze every penny of profit, but not for employees to try to squeeze every possible penny of wage out of the company?

Amazon could probably make a great profit even if it paid its warehouse workers 30 or even 100 USD per hour. Why is it a priori wrong for employees to try to move the needle in that direction?

If that's unrealistic, still: Amazon's profit went up by 84% in 2020. Why shouldn't workers seek for their wages to go up 84% instead?

Not saying that they should, but there is a strange double standard in these sorts of discussions, where it is taken for granted that the company should seek to extract the maximum amount of profit from its workers, but the other way around is seen as abnormal.
I do own a house I had built on rural property, and there's a lot more lattitude (you might call it "freedom") for what you can do on your property.

On the other hand, no matter where you live, there's always a few "karens" in the neighborhood who will do what they can to keep you from say, renting your property out and having large numbers of otherwise homeless people setting up a tent-city. (that seems to be one of the hard limits).

NO in fact the President ultimately controls the D.C. National Guard, to writ the presidents office Delegates the task for Request to the D.C. Mayor.. Whom did have National guard out before doing basic stuff on the street managing flow of traffic.

It was a miss management of the D.C. Guard, and a failure to activate any other Guard Units ahead of time (because everyone said they didn't want them).

So maybe you're looking at the wrong org chart.
Even 10 years ago there were two main "flavors" of C++, the generally OOP style of the original language and the very non OOP[1] style using the STL. Even within that, different shops had different subsets of the language they were willing to use. See, for example, Lakos' book Large Scale C++ Developement.

It's a very odd paradigm that we have in the US right now. To commemorate MLK Jr. Day, the CTO of the large company at which I work, sent out an email advocating for more political violence to promote racial justice issues, along with some circa-1960's quotes on the need for political violence. And this came only a couple weeks after the CTO spent a great deal of time decrying the capitol riot.

This is the limitation of a single image diagram. Anything worth diagramming has some complexity; which means you have to remove critical info or risk it becoming confusingly messy.

The original one is the "TCP/IP Swiss army knife" released in 1995:

https://nc110.sourceforge.io/ (original release: https://seclists.org/bugtraq/1995/Oct/28)

Although it is "freely given away to the Internet community" with "an obligation to give credit where due", at least OpenBSD and GNU have seen the need to write their own versions under their project licenses:

GNU netcat: http://netcat.sourceforge.net/

OpenBSD nc: https://man.openbsd.org/nc.1

(The OpenBSD version has been ported to at least FreeBSD and Apple Macintosh OS.)

All of them have the same basic telnet's `host port` syntax for outbound TCP connections, but annoyingly the syntax for opening a local listening TCP socket varies. Say, you want to open a TCP socket listening on port 1234 (local), and a confirmation when it is ready:

The original and GNU netcats: netcat -v -l -p 1234

BSD netcat: nc -v -l 1234
The preparations were a failure, but the moment the protesters broke through into the Capitol building - and Trump continued to press legislators to overthrow the results of the election (and therefore the Republic), and refused to use his power to call in more support for several hours ... he became an enemy of the state.

Both sides were definitely 'lying liar cronies' in terms of preparation, but Trump created the conditions for the riot, and then when it got really bad, he waited hours to react and subsequently praised instead of chastising individuals.
This is a really weird way of doing things. You can just add_subdirectory from the top level all the way down as intended. Then if you only want to build A, you just do "make A" instead of parameterless "make". Am I missing something that makes this approach bad? IMO this is the idiomatic way to do it.
I agree, if one wants to avoid the conflict of a union a work place should be at least 51% employee owned. Short of having mandatory employee ownership unions are the next best thing, and one is far easier in the US.

Otherwise we have what we have now, rampant unfairness and tension but no conflict because the board can get away with whatever conditions PR allows them to get away with.

> Of these, only the D.C. National Guard (DCNG) is never under local control. Instead, under § 49-409 of the D.C. Code—which was enacted by Congress and predates the creation of D.C.’s local government—the president is at all times the DCNG’s commander-in-chief.

DC Mayor has no authority for the DC National Guard. None at all.

DC is a territory, it doesn't have the same rights as other locations. Its completely subservient to the President / Congress.

> It was a miss management of the D.C. Guard

Absolutely. Trump should have sent in the DC Guard at 2:30pm.

Go has a ton of potential in the data science space.

A basic DataFrame library would go a long way. Doesn't have to be as full featured as Pandas. Just something that's maintainable and portable.

I wrote a blog post a few months ago on the current Go DataFrame libraries (gota, qframe, dataframe-go): https://mungingdata.com/go/dataframes-gota-qframe/. None of the current offerings are integrated with Arrow.

An Arrow-backed Go DataFrame library that can read / write Parquet files could really jumpstart data science in Go (really data engineering in Go, which is where they should probably focus first).
Some systems can be particularly difficult to access through raw machine code. For example with ASLR the addresses of functions and data can move around at runtime, so without using the linker it can be hard to access. Or there are binary obfuscation techniques that are even more thorough with their randomization.

But in the end it all compiles to assembly so everything is potentially accessible there.

I'd be willing to wager this "fact" has been brought up more in this thread alone than has actually happened on the job. Makes for great sensationalism, though. The union cause would be much better served without this silly BS being shared like it's the actual cause of woos.
No it’s not. FBI is law enforcement. With (poor) Intel capability.
The Rust code is very non-idiomatic, which is probably part of the reason why it seemed difficult to put together and why reading it is a bit of a chore. Compared to Zig or Go, naively translating C code into Rust isn't going to work nearly as well. This isn't necessarily because Rust is more complicated (although it definitely is) but has a lot to do with the fact that it's semantics are inspired almost as much by OCaml and Haskell as they are by C and C++. It's not surprising, then, that someone who is predominately a C programmer would need more than a couple hours to be able to really judge the difference between the languages.
It's hypocrisy all around. Let us kill racism by splitting people up into groups. Lets relegate people to certain groups based on some sort of factor, hmm, maybe skin color? Yeah that's cool because that's not racist.

It's the same as the lack of admittance that the Capital Riot and a Year of riots around the US were all horrible. One did billions in damage to the US for months, the other a few broken windows and doors. Yet we're supposed to be mad that one group did something stupid, but respect the other because, they had an emotional right to it.

How about everyone that participated in rioting regardless of the cause, are morons that should be held accountable.
Cyberduck is similar and nice. Don't use it much though, can't promise it's ad free.
Figma to React
I can kind of see the difference possibly being that Politics is slow moving. Journalists will call out bad behavior and other journalists will call out bad journalism.

With some events - such as the pandemic, or the aftermath of the US election, information doesn’t have time to pass through the normal cycle. The damage is already done if a lie gets viral the wrong way. It’s better to suppress one truth and one lie (overreact) then.

The key differentiator isn’t “how bad is this” but “how damaging is it if this information reaches X million people in 48 hours?”.

WRT eggs - not sure about industrial, possibly washed/sterilized, but as far as the backyard variety goes:

You need to be very wary of condensation. Natural eggs seem to keep fine at reasonable temperatures, as long as you avoid it (and the occasional poo). When I stored refrigerated eggs at room temperature, they would normally last maybe a week. Then I started wrapping them in 3-4 layers of towels for 1-2 days to slowly heat up, and they would keep for 2 months with <5% spoilage.

Most countries I know either require eggs be kept cold at all times, or never (depending on country).
