I have an OWC Thunderbolt 3 Pro dock; I use it with my work-issued 16" MBP and 2020 MBA. I have a 1440p and a 4K screen attached; both running at 60Hz.

It was rough at first when I picked it up last year. However the driver updates in Big Sur seem to have fixed my complaints, particularly with the MBA that almost never worked.

It works pretty well now. I unplug my work laptop and swap it for my personal one when I want to work on personal projects, and things just work.

My biggest complaints about this dock now are that the fan is loud, and it only charges at 60w. I worked around the noise by attaching it to the underside of my desk, so it's pretty hard to hear now.
Wouldn't most of it get cached downstream tho?
But does it have the problem GP is describing?

If not, I'd say it's definitely better than his/her MacBook Pro since they're at least functioning.
Vim is a good way to browse directories also! Run "vim ." to see. It's nice because you can search folder names to jump to them (in the same way you'd search any other file).
Much better than using facial-recognition tech.
It's called Domain drop catching or Domain sniping. There are tools available that do just that.

Biden eyeing tax rate as high as 43.4% in next economic package

I hope this will change the more people have been vaccinated and are eligible. I know several people who a few months ago said that they would "never" get the vaccine and a few months they all got it or are in line.

Every 4 years you also have a lot of people saying "if XXX wins the presidency I'll move to Canada/Mexico". They are all still there.

I haven't been to prison so I don't know how practical what I'm about to say actually is, but it seems like it's still possible to contribute to society while in prison. e.g. working in the library and helping someone with a shorter term get their GED, or even activism (like how Tookie Williams tried to end the cycle of gang violence that had put him on death row and got half a dozen Nobel Prize nominations before his execution)
It does, as anyone forced into prostitution without consent could then seek standard legal remedies for things like kidnapping/battery/coercion/etc. So long as it remains illegal, that's basically impossible.

Looks great Jan. One small issue is that for PostgreSQL I cannot specify the database when I am creating a connection. Not a problem for local databases but you may not have access to the root postgres database on a specific server eg cloud hosted database.

Apart from that, well done, I have been looking for a good db client for linux for ages. I use DBeaver at the moment, and it's pretty good, but I do find the interface a bit clunky and yours looks much better.
I get that. I've told my boss it's a bad idea. I told my boss' boss it's a bad idea. But the management is all incentivized to do this horrible thing because it pads their resume and likely gives them more headcount. They don't argue with me on the merits, I get vague platitudes about how we're bleeding edge, this is where the market is headed, etc. Their incentives are not aligned with quality output.
This is for a class. How a student prefers to make their commits is not really important. If you are taking a class and the requirement for credit is doing commits of in-progress work you commit the in-progress work.
"any job available" is overstating it. I'd be shocked if that's how it works _anywhere_. It certainly isn't in the US. For example, here's the requirement from my particular state:

"You will lose your unemployment benefit if you turn down an offer of "suitable" work without "good cause." Suitable work is work that fits your training, experience, skills, health, physical fitness, prior earnings, and is within 20 miles of your home"

Two other large states had similar requirements. I could not find any with a "you must take any available job" requirement. There's no way that could be even vaguely construed as requiring someone to take a sex work job if it's available.
The minimum penalty for fabrication of evidence by police officers should be 3x the maximum penalty for having committed the actual offense.
That 100% has to be fake. I NEED it to be fake. Are there production systems that work like this? Du they have one "rockstar" developer who does stuff like this?
Let's be real.

Changing your name does not change your credit history. Losing an illusory value you have never owned by adopting a new technology, that's not a real problem.
This seems non-obvious. How many salmon are farmed vs wild right now? Salmon is already protected and very expensive, so what's the potential for increase in wild population? 2x? 10x? And there would still be demand for "the real thing".
>5 years is half of the Ubuntu LTS

No it isn't. Ubuntu LTS is supported for 5 years.

https://ubuntu.com/blog/what-is-an-ubuntu-lts-release

>An Ubuntu LTS is a commitment from Canonical to support and maintain a version of Ubuntu for five years.

---

>Not saying it is a bad OS but it is no longer a free Linux operating system with long term support.

Ubuntu LTS is suppored for 5 years, Debian Stable is supported for 5 years, and OpenSUSE Leap is supported 5 years (as far as I can tell - the only documentation I found said "up to" 60 months).

CentOS Stream absolutely provides "long term" support.
This video explains it fairly well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2QaObLRLi0 though it doesn't cover everything. The doctor in that video also has their own website: https://www.epiphanyhealth.org/

The Primary Care (the PC in DPC) part refers to normal day-to-day health needs typically offered by general practitioners. Things like regular checkups, cuts and scrapes, lab work, typical vaccinations, etc etc. You already think about PC healthcare as a 'service', but you pay your insurance company (with your employer watching in for some reason) to pay the doctor for you. That adds a lot of overhead, more than one might think.

So DPC is where you pay for primary care by subscribing Directly (that's the D) to the doctor by paying a regular, fixed-price subscription to them. Typically $50-$100/mo, the doctor mentioned above charges $75/mo. Receive care as frequently as needed, with no copays, by any means, with reasonable prices for more specialized services like x-rays ($25), and an affordable in-house pharmacy for generic medications. Their office negotiates direct rates for lab work and can get a 95% discount (!) in some cases according to the doctor in the video.

Now there are some caveats, as per usual.

The biggest is that this strategy is specifically for Primary Care, not hospitalizations and other specialized or emergency health services. For those perhaps health insurance can still provide value. But that's the original purpose of insurance in the first place: covering unexpected large expenses. And that's the key: Primary Care is neither an unexpected nor large expense -- it's regular maintenance, more like an oil change; are you paying your insurance company to pay your mechanic to perform oil changes on your car? Unlikely, and it sounds like a bureaucratic nightmare on the face. Yet somehow this is business as usual for healthcare in the US.
That's all interview questions.
My doctor recommended BeyondMeat as an alternative to my soy-heavy diet because it's based on pea protein. What exactly makes BeyondMeat something that's not nutritious?
It’s maybe not entirely accurate, but it seems at least in the ballpark of a reasonable description for a public company that’s never made money and has no legible path to making money.

That said, it looks Beyond Meat made money in two quarters last year. So not a good fit on those criteria.

Because that perpetuates and inflates the Pozi scheme. Any "little bit" of positive now will be more than offset during its collapse, having a larger negative effect on more people.

>Shouldn't that be completely opaque to the user?

No necessarely, because app being written in Rust and Go is actually a feature for the user, it means the entire app is a single executable with a decent runtime performance.
I really hope this was meant as a sarcasm. There are already banking apps and some mobile games (hello Pokémon GO!) pushing for trusted computing where the user is not in control and only a manufacturer OS image is installed. Not to mention game consoles that are like this by default.

We hardly need more entities pushing for this dystopia...
I personally know people have made 6 figures in non-senior positions in Berlin working for German subsidiaries of multi-national companies, just "Software Development Engineer". I don't know if that happens through job listing offering 6 figure salaries or entering at a lower salary and getting raises.
> The wrong type of super-long-tenured engineer

Once you start thinking about the code in terms of memorization you’re a hazard to your coworkers. It’s one of the reasons I like to try to move about on projects.

When you built the code you had to think about two or three concepts at once. Then new functionality added another concern, and another, and another. For you, each addition was one more thing on a pile you already knew.

For someone new looking at that code, they have to now juggle ten things at once, so they either run away, or they learn by breaking things. Which the frustrated tenured person may use as confirmation bias about how all the new hires are worthless and we should only trust senior people. When really the entire situation is your fucking fault.

I think advertising the language is important. Rust is fairly strict which improves stability. It also means that I'm not downloading some bloated electron crap.
Hi friend, thanks for your response. I appreciate the criticism and the opportunity to re-evaluate my point. That said, after thinking about it, I don't believe there's a contradiction in what I've written. Point in fact is that I do not understand--in a personal sense of it "computing" (as you put it) to me--the forces at work that push people to be, as I said, wilfully ignorant of real issues facing the area and planet at large. It's not that I don't understand the people at all and simultaneously attribute ignorance to them, it's that how the ignorance comes to be is a mystery to me. An observer can see an effect without knowing the cause. That's usually how we begin to learn anything. There's a comment adjacent to yours that puts words to a gut feeling about it that takes a big step toward understanding, I think. Discourse is great!
Let's consider: I'm at my parents, or a friends house. I need to log in to do something. My options are:

A) download a terminal emulator + ssh application onto their computer & run that, flooding the screen with some unknown terminal application.

B) opening a web page & logging in to a Zellij or TermKit or whatever session.

Which do you think will seem more baroque to them? The web is an obvious, much improved way to do almost all software. It's online, universally accessible. A lot of stuck, old-fashioned-thinking in this thread. I'm a ssh + tmux (or more often ssh + dtach/vim) user myself, but it's clear to me this has serious disadvantages, that it's not nearly as accessible, as on tap as it could be.
Maybe, but an app that does what Moxie suggests is malware in my book.

I don't think Signal will do that though, if it does, it will most likely get kicked out of every store and the company will most likely end up in well-deserved legal trouble, as if MOB wasn't shady enough...

As someone else said, it is more likely to be a way to discredit evidence extracted by Cellebrite.

That would have been nice indeed. However many languages use lots of memory and are a bit slow, or are security-dangerous like C. It's nice to know, then, that this app likely uses barely any memory at all, and is as fast & keyboard-responsive as it can be, and harder to hack — Rust. (Assuming it is implemented in a good way :- ))
From my personal experience (and that of many friends of mine) who interviewed at Google, you won't be asked about memset or any C-related question unless you stated you were proficient in C and picked C as your interviewing language.

Knowing this context might actually explain the situation that the parent comment describes a bit better. It is absolutely possible, as you described, to be perfectly capable within your CS niche without ever bothering with memset. But in that case, you probably won't pick C as your interviewing language and won't state that you are proficient in it. Which is what, I suspect, might have happened in that scenario the parent comment is describing.
US companies don't pay 100k+ in Europe. Amazon pays like 60k base for SDE1 where I live and I think Google pays 70k+ base.
> Better take down AWS too

Go ahead and complain to their service provider and see if they are violating their ToS.

The big difference is that Twitter and Facebook actually (poorly) police their content where Parlor refused to do anything to block calls to violence. They were warned and continued to violate the ToS and AWS decided to walk away from the relationship.

What good if having a contract if you aren't allowed to terminate it once a party violates it?
Death penalty is Lindy.

I am not interested in some esoteric academic ethics argument.. in this, I want to hear, from people who lost loved ones - who are against Death penalty.

Who endured and still endure the suffering of a losing loved ones. If we get an even split from this group of people, may be then only then I will consider the academic arguments.
Perhaps make something small for yourself or a loved one in your life? It feels great to finish something, however small! And people who aren't programmers are super happy you made a game for them.

I lived and worked in the area for four years, working in Pleasant Prairie, living in Kenosha and then Oak Creak. Parent is right, it's a strange place because of the mixture of so many influences: the proximity of Chicago and Milwaukee, a former industrial powerhouse region, access to great education but full of people who've never been to Chicago or Milwaukee (let alone further than them).

My sysadmin had a hobby of creating frankenstein cars. He put the powertrain of a Camaro into the body of Gremlin, for which he needed a second Gremlin to lengthen the chassis by a foot. It was so overpowered he needed a couple hundred pounds of sandbags in the back to give it any traction at all. This sort of thing wasn't that weird either.
There's a term for this and several software packages to help exploit the effect.

Microsoft revokes MVP status of developer who tweeted complaint
> The second thing I noticed is that it uses ctrl-r as a core shortcut. Mega problem: ctrl-r is a built-in bash feature which I use every day to recall previous commands. This makes me think I can't use this tool at all.

In fairness, ctrl-a (screen default) and ctrl-b (tmux default) are also super useful readline shortcuts in bash (c-a = go to beginning of line, c-b = back one character).

EDIT: Sorry, I just realized - ctrl-r isn't a prefix, it's a shortcut, isn't it? And they have lots more? Yeah, that's ... a pretty questionable approach; it'll interfere with lots of things.
I think your experience as an outsider is really going to depend on how you socialize, how much you do it, with whom, and other specific aspects of your situation. Such as which specific businesses you frequent.

Some specific people will treat you more warmly than others. Some neighborhoods or neighbors will have more culture in common and with yours.

That's the experience that I've had living in a few different parts of the US and Mexico.

One thing that mitigates all of that a bit is the internet. Hacker News, for example, is the same place for everyone, in a way.

For me, I have always had poor social skills and little integration into communities, so it's not a big difference really. Other people who thrive on constant face-to-face social interaction may find things like language or cultural barriers to be more of an issue. But again, really depends who you are talking to. If the locals seem put off by your accent or something, the next bar over may be full of Americans if you are near a tourist area.

But on a deeper level, there certainly are real social consequences of being an outsider, as well as potentially a psychological disconnect if things always feel slightly off from the world that your brain grew up in.
If nothing else I would like a reverse-Catalyst for bringing AppKit apps to the iPad, even if it’s a program that has to be applied for. I want Sketch and XCode on the iPad.

Especially for XCode, the iPad can already compile Swift code in the Swift Playgrounds app, so it’s technically feasible. Swift Playgrounds itself is just rough and buggy, at least last time I checked. (E.g. ARC reference counts don’t work how you would think because the playground seems to keep its own reference to your objects so objects don’t always deinitialize when they should. This is NOT a problem in XCode playgrounds in the Mac. I haven’t check Swift Playgrounds (a Catalyst port of the iPad app) on the Mac).
The problem is that cheating (if allowed) does not end up being a few people here and there.

Keybindings are a hard problem. Doubly so when you're a wrapper that has to also not collide with everyone else's keybindings. :)

The idea was that users should spend most of their time in "normal" mode, deferring to "locked" mode only for cases like you mentioned (ctrl-r in bash or in vim). The modal ergonomics are built on that.

I'd ideally like to find one word that describes locked mode better than "locked", which I agree is not ideal. I spent quite some time thinking about it and asking others, but most of us are not native English speakers - so maybe there's something obvious we're missing. :)

I had to use Proctorio for a stats class that I took, and two or three times per test it asked me to lift my laptop up and rotate it so that it could see the entire room. The worst part was that when I was done the button to return to the test never showed up. Each time this happened, I had to contact customer support to get them to unlock my screen.

The distraction this posed had a measurable impact on my scores on these tests.
