> Hopefully over time this improves especially as private enterprises put some pressure on getting vaccinated

I really hope I don't lose my job because I don't want to take an experimental, unapproved vaccine for a disease that hospitalizes less than 5% of people across all age groups when I work from home, am a healthy weight, and am under forty.

The risk for me is, in fact, comparable to the flu, and the vaccine has similar drawbacks to the flu vaccine.

Also are you surprised that Black people in the South don't want this experimental vaccine after the Tuskegee Experiment? Combine that with the awful side effects documented on Reddit in r/covidvaccinated and the refusal of the drug company lawyers to accept liability if something is wrong, the very people pushing the vaccine still wearing two masks, the profit incentive of a new annual vaccine, and new reports of menstrual "changes" caused by the vaccines that are rolling in and you know what? I'll take my chances with COVID's death rate, since it's only killed 14000 Americans under forty.

I'm the author. If you are referring to my page, the Developer notes provide all the info you need, and the source code is trivial. I've placed all the encryption stuff in a barebones open source library that you can read on GitHub. This makes the remaining source code in the page trivial.

I don't think I can explain to a layman without math backround why it is secure. So I have kept it simple.
Not something most developers who may use a tmux equivalent would know about.
I stick to LTS.
I sometime have to update the kernel because of hardware devices or special needs. But even then, I use grub to pick witch kernel I wanna use.

Once the next LTS is out, I usually wait a few more months. I'm not a big fan of having my workstation not being able to do basic things. ( no hard feelings, I trust the process )
Oddly enough, almost nothing binds the space bar. I've been using ctrl-spc as my tmux prefix for years without a single conflict. I think this is because there is somewhat limited support for ctrl-space on older terminal emulators.

My advice: stay away from consulting.

My user name itself is a result of my experience working in one of those body shops. Client doesn't care, my employer doesn't care. I see people here talking about 1-1s and promotions and so on. I never had a single one in 5+ years. Clients treat us as outsiders. I am not sure if they even see us as humans. Just keep on dumping work, and then suddenly you are kicked out one fine day. Makes you wonder why did you spent 10-15 hours a lot of days for free. No team activities, no trainings, nothing.

My employer has absolutely no interest in my well being either. No promotions, no salary increments most years. Only time my 'manager' talks to me is when they want me to relocate to some other state or client. If I say no, they will threaten me - 'I will snip you' is what my manager told me once. Now I categorize these so called 'managers' as 'slave traders, parasites or demons'.

Wider variety of technologies and languages may sound good initially, but at least from my experience, the work you do for these clients are basically things you can learn on your own. So if that's your only goal, I would say do some personal projects instead.

Every single one of my colleagues have jumped ship within 2 years working in our company. Only idiots like me stayed. My itinerary for today is this: work from 6am-4pm. Then log out. Prepare for interviews. Get a work in good product company.

Please don't do this, no matter how provocative another comment was. The proper response is to flag it and ignore it—then the provocation fizzles out, as it should. The site guidelines put it this way: "Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead." That's our euphemistic recoding of "Please don't feed the trolls."

I realize this is not so easy when you belong to a group that's being put down, but we all need to build up our tolerance to that kind of thing, since the alternative is to have it dominate discussion and that would make everything worse.

Indeed, Rust has a very well thought-out core which enables variability (read: "complexity") of all kinds. Variability is a fine thing, but it is at odds with onboarding users from one project to another. I wasn't trying to overstate error handling in particular--I mentioned it briefly in a longer list of examples which in-aggregate affect one's ability to onboard to a new project. I also don't mean to convey that going between Rust projects is harder than in other languages on average--I don't think this is the case at all, only moreso than Go in particular.
This is a very important concept to understand in visual design too. Sometimes perfect alignment, symmetry, etc... can be the wrong way to do something. Hardly anything in nature is 100% symmetrical. These are sometimes things that go unnoticed by the conscious mind but your subconcious will pick up on it.
As someone who just set up Storj to backup my Nextcloud installation, I am very interested in this topic. Storj was a cheap alternative to AWS S3, and, at least out of the box, zero-knowledge encryption was easier, though I know there are ways to achieve zero knowledge encryption with any S3 provider. I hadn't considered Glacier, but I may look into it.

Edit: One thing I liked about Storj was that geographic redundancy is built in. I know Amazon has that too, but if three data centers caught fire on the same day, Amazon could lose your data. Super unlikely with Amazon, but virtually impossible with Storj, and most S3 providers have less geographic redundancy than Amazon.

> knowing your data is there does not mean that you can get it back when needed. This is the subject of the next blog post.

This is something I'd love to hear more about.
My impression is that there will always be apps that don't care enough about decorations and would just prefer to use the operating system defaults and SSD provided a reasonable way to do that. But then there are also applications that do care enough about it, in which case CSD is way to go.

Usually implementing CSD properly for each platform requires a bit more work than just relying on the toolkit's default or on SSD. This shouldn't be a problem for applications that have the resources to do this properly, as in your examples. But I'm a bit afraid that, given Linux desktop's market share, smaller app developers might not have the resources to do this right and then Linux will start inheriting the look and feel from Windows and macOS. Maybe this won't be a problem in practice, but if this starts happening, then the experience for Linux desktop users will be worse than just using SSD.

In any case, we'll have to wait and see how it all plays out. I think both SSD and CSD have their use-cases and I still wish GNOME's would reconsider their position on this.
Where did the amazing comment from itssatireok go? Was it deleted by them or moderators?
I grew up in a rural village in Germany. The church operated the kindergarten and the retirement home, and ran some youth organizations with stuff like kids' summer activities. One city over the church ran the hospital, like, to the point where they had nuns on-site. I never really looked too deeply into it but it always felt weird to me how entangled the church is with what is basically treated as public services and hence public finances, since they still get to apply their religious values to hiring discrimination and that sort of thing.

I didn't regularly attend the religion classes, but I did once or twice and they gave me candy for memorizing the ten commandments. Organized religion is a-ok in my book! (In high school, they offered an "ethics" class as alternative to denomination-based religion classes, but I guess in the much smaller elementary school the student numbers wouldn't have justified that.)
I don't mean to suggest that at all -- I have great respect for those people, particularly Rich Hickey, whose framing of "simple" vs "easy" is vital to these discussions. But it's clear that a language like Clojure is not a good fit for million-line, decades-old codebases. Java wasn't explicitly designed for large-scale engineering either; it's north star was Write Once, Run Anywhere. In short, I think there are very few languages that prioritize engineering to the exclusion of other features, and Go is one of them.

Ada is another; it was explicitly designed for large-scale engineering, but hasn't seen nearly as much success as Go. I'd like to learn more about why it failed. Perhaps it was the language itself, or maybe it was merely a timing issue, or the fact that it was backed by the government.

The death penalty used to be much faster. But through a series of laws and court rulings starting in the 1970's, they decided that the case has to go through a super long sequence of appeals and court proceedings, with the intent of making doubly triply extra sure we're not executing innocent people.

Yep, CCU = concurrent users.

We look at CCU alongside number of entities in the sim, since they're both axes of interest for customers - 2m+ entity scale is tricky, netcode at 10k+ player scale is tricky, we target both.

That said, I've found it interesting that people _generally_ want one or the other. Game companies like the idea of loads of entities/logic ('high fidelity'), but that ramps up cost per user - ultimately they just want more people in-game for cheaper. Whereas companies willing to put the money behind resources for high fidelity simulations, generally 'only' want a few hundred concurrent users.

Thanks for the thoughts on the scenario!

Friends, tell me how I should be more positive or community minded in thinking about this.

Because right now, I say -- "anyone who doesn't want a vaccine, well you live with the consequences and if you can't come to rational understanding that it's your own life being saved, then I shed no tears over your choice".

People who do it out of religious (or Republican) dogma, I'm not sympathetic. People who believe in conspiracy theories, I'm not sympathetic. People who have some "cultural history" skeptical of government vaccines, well you have to learn to get over that, one way or another. I'm not that sympathetic. What's the likelihood that the entire US is being subjected to a racially based cruel experiment?

You don't want life saving vaccine, produced from the effort and focus of an entire nation, to bring us out of the worst crisis in a generation? Well, I don't mind if there are fewer of you.

Aside from the issue where people who are not vaccinated affect those who cannot get vaccinated, it's your own life you're gambling with. Go right ahead.

Change my mind please?
Yes, no one wants the tradeoffs of moving east of the Rockies, and everyone wants to be within 45min of an airport. But that's the awkwardness I'm talking about, caused by the gap in the group of friends of those who can afford to continue living where they want to live without making tradeoffs that the others would have to.
What is "it" from ever living. An stack of lumber does not make a table. The table doesn't exist until the wood is configured as such.

I'd guess they may not have understood what actually happened, or were leaning heavily on the IEEE reviewers having no issues with the paper, as at that point it'd already been excepted.
I agree. It was frustrating trying to get my appointment, but there weren't vaccines going unused or people getting it ahead of me who shouldn't. They managed to vaccinate people at the same rate as doses became available, and different groups were prioritized in a sane if imperfect way.
> I think your experience as an outsider is really going to depend on how you socialize ...

I'd disagree. Sometimes it's about who you are, not about what you do. In some societies you can blend in easily (like San Francisco), in some -- there's no chance, no matter what you do.

On the subject of deterrence:

If someone commits a premeditated crime carrying a guideline sentence of {20 years in State A, vs 30 years in State B} do we really think that they're more likely to commit the crime in State A?

It's my intuition that for the most part, people committing crimes aren't thinking about potential repercussions, much less measuring them.

I mean is someone thinking "Oh, only 10 years? I'll do it. But not if it's 15."?
IF that is how you are billed it doesn't matter to you.

Huh?

Things will be different on the far future. The exact point when it will change is a matter of speculation, and all the warnings about timing the market apply. You implied a high certainty that nothing will change, ever, and talked about 15 years things.

There is a high likelihood that nothing will change in 5 years (even though COVID19 reduces those odds a lot, because a bunch of people just died). And there is very high likelihood that things will change a lot in 40 years. Time things at your own risk.
The best objection to the death penalty is indeed that we can't be trusted to administer it.

I disagree with a lot of comments in this thread. The death penalty is in fact the appropriate punishment for murderers. This is not true in order to deter crime or so that we can create a better society or any other similar rationalization. Justice, by which I mean reciprocity, is an end in itself. A crime should be punished proportionally and the only justification for punishment is guilt.

A simple explanation of this theory of justice:

> A great crime offends nature, so that the very earth cries out for vengeance; that evil violates a natural harmony which only retribution can restore; that a wronged collectivity owes a duty to the moral order to punish the criminal (Yosal Rogat).

That's fair enough, but he's pointing out the consequences of your beliefs. The crux of the objection is that you position yourself in opposition to the discussion of any other justification for abolishing the death penalty; it is not that the death penalty must be abolished, but that it must be abolished for a specific correct reason. This presents a relationship between the death penalty and your beliefs where it seems to your audience that you wish to abolish the death penalty not due to any urgency regarding its consequences, but because of your insistence on imposing your will on others.

It's much higher in about five specific counties in the US. The vast majority of the US has less violent crime overall (guns, plus everything else) than most large cities in Europe. For a simple example in Berlin you get pepper sprayed by stick-up kids, whereas in the US mountain west there isn't much mugging at all (due to the fact that a mugger is about 50/50 to get a wallet or a bullet in response).

The mistake is to think of the US as uniform. Most of it is extremely peaceful.

An app to pick movies with your partner or friends in a Tinder like way
Hey guys! Me and my friends created iOS and Android apps to make the process of picking movies easier for people who struggle to do so in a conventional way. The idea was based on a tweet that got pretty popular on reddit.
To make use of the app you need it installed for you and your partner. You don't need to register or give us any of your personal info. You create a room, select filters (like genres, release dates and streaming services) and wait for your partner to join which is quite simple, just scan the QR-code that is generated when creating room. Every time you get a match the app lets you know.

I actually agree with you here, our incentive structures are flawed for sure.

The problem is, hiring is expensive, hiring mistakes are expensive, and new grads are a combination of “lack of signals” and “need lots of time to pan out”. The result is companies look for any possible signal - this more or less becomes a degree, and within the degree, the GPA. Thus incentivizing the student to get the degree with a high GPA by any means necessary, and companies will still give you a year to ramp up.
