Katskhi pillar: The extraordinary church where daring monks climb closer to God
So, just as I wrote, in your opinion not jewish enough to know technicalities. I had very secular friends friends who read gemara for fun and in order to argue about fine points of religion with religious people. Which is most of the time pointless, because unless person learns it they just follow whatever "rabbi of the year/synagogue/etc" says them to do without actually understanding "technicalities" of it.

What you are doing here, it's just a classic orthodox gatekeeping of Judaism which causes many people completely turn off away from it.
What is LBRY exactly? Is it a protocol, an app, a website, or a company?
Another factor, I think, is that a heck of a lot of people don't think they will still be doing this for a long time.

Programming is something interesting and fun they are going to do for a few years while young, until (pick one) {their band takes off, someone funds their startup idea and they hire others to do the programming while they generate genius ideas and run the business, they get promoted to a high paying executive position that involved management and architecture and others do the coding, their podcast becomes a hit and they can live off that, the small company they work at IPOs or gets bought and they make enough to retire at 30, etc).

So they learn a fairly easy language that has lots of libraries that cover most things you do in a routine developer job.

...and before they know it they are 50-60 and still writing a lot of code, and realizing that if they had known they would still be doing this 30-40 years later they would have been better off if they had learned and used and gotten good with some of the languages that have a reputation of being very productive but hard to learn.

I'd also add spreadsheets and database to that. At one point I was the database guy at work, because no one else was available. I learned enough SQL to get by, but was in no way a database expert. Heck, we had to pick job titles at one point that described what we did to have on the business cards the company was giving us, and I put down "Database Roustabout" [1], which should give you an idea of where I stood. That was 20 years and I'm still the database guy at work. It would have been a lot better if sometime early on I had said "I'm going to become really good at SQL even though I'm sure someone else will become database guy in a year or so".

[1] Roustabout. NOUN. An unskilled or casual laborer. (North American) A circus laborer.
Those apps stay out of your way if you don't wanna use them and they barely use 0.1% of the internal storage.

I'd hardly call that bloat given the "Samsung Experience" I once had on one of those GalaxyNote 10.1 tablets.
It was slow (basically everything in any app lagged), the OS was a non-upgradable Android 4.3 or 4.4 with heaps of Samsung BS constantly running and replacing standard apps (e.g. the browser).
Also that tablet one day just would not charge anymore after ~1.5-2 years of fairly light use (reading, some video streaming, things like that).
I don’t think Venezuela or Russia are relevant in this situation, since we are strictly taking about US-Cuba relations.
Ive lived in 2 of the largest metropolitan areas in the US for 2 decades, and my rent has never been over 800 dollars. That's exorbitant to me, but that's still a far cry away from 2 grand a month.

New influenza vaccines (using cell lines) were approved after use in 15,000 people, ~10 years ago: https://www.fiercepharma.com/vaccines/novartis-receives-fda-...

Are you overestimating the safety testing done on other vaccines?

Of course these are the first widely used vaccines for corona viruses and use new technologies to boot, so there's a lot more to it, but I wonder how you've gone about assessing previous safety proofs.

Nicely done! Instead of a device to rewind/reset the counter in the EEPROM periodically, I wonder how hard it would be to modify or replace the EEPROM with something that simply ignores any modification to the data (essentially making it read-only). That way, the machine thinks it's decrementing the counter each time, but it always remains full. There'd be no need for a software reset.

Have you ever noticed at the pump that the nozzle for diesel doesn't fit in your car if it uses a gasoline engine? Try it some time. This is to prevent people who aren't paying enough attention from ruining their day by putting diesel in their car. It would be trivial to sell large commerical-grade detergent containers with similar protections to provide an affordable, fool-proof mechanism to refill their own cannisters. The best thing about this approach is that you could still provide the subscription based model to anyone who truly values the model (instead of being simply forced to use that model due to lack of a suitable alternative), giving your customers the best of all worlds. Obviously, that doesn't quite rake in the money the way that the "razor and blades" approach to gouging your customers in the name of convenience does.

Obviously anything that means you rake in less money is against the short-term interests of the sales department, but not necessarily the long-term interests of the company.

The sharp line isn't part of the design, it's just a minimalist way of showing a highly reflective material. The sharper the line, the sharper the reflections in the surface. The line is curved because the surface of the tag is curved (e.g. you can see how the straight window is curved in the above image). If the tag was a flat surface, then it would be a straight line.
> Also, not to rain on anybody’s parade, but OSS is - generally - not held to the same performance standards that proprietary code is. This makes sense intuitively right? “If I’m paying for it, it better work.”

Humans are emotional creatures no matter the context.

You can't change that - all you can do is accept it then learn how to work with emotions (both yours and those of other people).

IMO, the "adults in the room" are usually the people who have deep technical knowledge and have also learned how to regulate their emotions. One without the other gets you nowhere.
Given that they went out of their way to build an auto-renewal system in the device (a pretty sophisticated endeavor for a kitchen appliance manufacturer) it seems blatantly obvious that this lock-in was meant to prevent refills. Otherwise why not offer a manual override?

I have air filters that notify you when the filters should be checked or changed, I have coffee machines that tell you when you should descale them but they all let you override or ignore the issue if you so desire. And they're a lot less sophisticated than this device.

It might serve to evaluate why you feel the way you feel on a deeper level. Based only on your comments here I don't think any ire is justified.

For someone to to even make the determination that "Lisp did my better" they must

A. Have a comprehensive knowledge of both Python and Lisp.

B. Have some understanding of the history of the languages.

C. Understand the problem on an intrinsic, fundamental level that enables them to evaluate which approach is better.

D. Generalize the problem to a broader scope to demonstrate why one language is better on a broader level.

E. Understand every other language ever used so when they show why Lisp does it better, they can defend themselves when someone comes up and tells them, "actually, Pascal does this even better yet."

Furthermore, it doesn't really matter what language did it better. The point of most talks is simply to demonstrate how to solve some problem in a certain language. If every talk started with "you can do this in Python, and I'll show you how, but you should probably just switch to Lisp because it does it better," that isn't very helpful.

I'm well into the senior years of my career, and I have certainly been all of these things. But a fellow engineer taking things personally is not as problematic as the behavior that often accompanies it: never admitting error.

Years ago I heard the phrase "set to bozo bit" to describe what you're calling a personal blocklist. It was described as an anti-pattern, and setting the bozo bit as a poor choice in nearly every case. It combines the bad parts of an ad hominem attack with the bad parts of personal arrogance and negativity. Don't think your other teammates won't realize you've "blocked" a teammate. Some of them will react badly, and potentially see you as arrogant.

I end with this quote from E.W. Dijkstra:

We shall do a much better programming job, provided that we approach the task with a full appreciation of its tremendous difficulty, provided that we stick to modest and elegant programming languages, provided that we respect the intrinsic limitations of the human mind and approach the task as Very Humble Programmers.

> Simply use alias docker=podman and you’ll never know the difference.

Unless you use Docker Swarm, in which case you'll lose access to simple orchestration that's not overengineered, unlike Kubernetes which you'll now be forced to use.

Or unless you use software that depends on the Docker socket being available (such as for Portainer, a graphical management utility [1]), in which case you'll lose the ability to use such software.

Or maybe you're one of the countless folks who tried using Podman but ran into a variety of issues that still haven't been addressed in many cases [2].

Or maybe you use Docker Compose and now have just lost the ability to run simple single node orchestration with YAML files, because Podman Compose is oftentimes flawed as well [3].

That's not to say that what Podman is attempting to do shouldn't be applauded, yet claiming that exchanging one set of leaky abstractions for another set of leaky abstractions is painless and will work for all of the people out there simply isn't true. I don't see Podman being a backwards compatible alternative to Docker on an API level, it'll simply kill it off eventually by supporting the OCI standard for containers and being a Kubernetes runtime at the lower level. Lots of people will need to re-engineer their approach to running containers and lots of time will be necessary to migrate away from Docker.

I disagree. With modern materials, the thinness is the root of durability compromises. I've used my Xperia XZ1 compact for several years without a case. I've dropped it on concrete floors, sat on it, and used it in the mud. There're some chips in the paint, but the fiberglass body underneath is fine. Any scratches on the Gorilla Glass 5 are barely visible.

My old phones with cheap poly-carbonate backs(cracks easily) and thin GG3(cracks,scratches are apparent) were fragile in comparison. The material science has improved with modern phones, but manufacturers choose to make fragile phones.

You don't need thick overmoulding and port covers to make a phome durable without a case. The materials are strong enough on the high end phones. The problem is that when you make the glass thinner and exposed at the corners, it will crack with much less impact. The overall thinness means less flexural rigidity (rigidity is proportional to thickness cubed), you can snap a modern phone with your hands. Cheap new phones get it even worse. They use flimsier materials to cram a better SoC in, and still are rarely waterproof.

Two things I don't understand about Tor:

1. According to circuits displayed by the Tor browser, connections to .onion hosts appear to traverse the Internet in the open. Am I misunderstanding the UI? If not, why does Tor do it? What is the benefit? Why not go directly to Tor relays? For example, my connection to The Intercept's new Tor service looks like this (countries and IP addresses changed):

* This browser
* Albania (1.2.3.4) Guard
* Benin (5.6.7.8)
* Canada (9.10.11.12)
* Relay
* Relay
* Relay
* 27m3p2uv7igmj6kvd4ql3cct5h3sdwrsajovkkndeufumzyfhlfev4qd.onion

2. Tor only routes TCP. Is there a risk of leakage if other protocols are used? IIRC, streaming often uses UDP or similar - what if I stream something?

My $1200 7 year old Miele dishwasher stopped working a few months ago, with the “Intake/drain” light on red when starting a load. Dishwashers during the pandemic were sort of scare due to massive home remodeling demand, and the professional repair people would have cost $300 just to diagnose, so I went to try to fix it myself.

It turns out the water intake valve solenoid was jammed or gummed up somehow, as applying 120V to it directly had no effect. I went to find an OE replacement online only to find that they are $580, sold by only 2 places, and sold out. You need to be a certified Miele technician to buy them.

Given I knew the specifications from the model number and the printing on the solenoid itself wrt voltage and flow rate, I bought the cheapest replacement I could find on Amazon, spliced the wires into the existing harness and boom, it worked perfectly.

One thing I didn’t understand was why there were so many different inlet valves that all did the same thing. There were 120V AC and 12V DC versions but other than that the only difference was the water connector/dongle/bracket. It seemed absurd there would be so many but the reality is that actual solenoid is super generic and should only cost $20 and should be made to fit them all. Of course nobody really repairs things these days but I think this is the reason why. Even when the part could easily be standardized and replaced/repaired like a light bulb, companies want you to buy a whole new one.
A senior dev could get into a new stack reliably within ~3 months. And it doesnt 'take' effort to train them - they just do it themselves. And the cost of loss of people who know the existing product, business model, existing codebase is WAY too great than a few months' pay. That's something that comes only by having people on board for long duration and having them accumulate experience of the existing product and business model.

Most people from MBA background has little understanding of this. They tend to see engineers as replaceable - you just bring in someone who knows a new stack while passing to that new stack and youre done (the best case scenario).

It doesnt work like that.

When you lose experienced engineers who know the product and the codebase in a fast moving startup, you lose people who you need to ask stuff when you need to do something new. Especially when the codebase lacks sufficient documentation (common in startups). Then the newcomers have to learn the codebase all over again - a gigantic hit to productivity.

This is why people from non-engineering background should not make engineering hiring/firing decisions.
> I'm not sure how that refutes my point

I am refuting your point that people complaining about labor shortages shouldn't be voting republican. Which doesn't make sense because these ppl want

1. low regulation, taxes and lax labor laws.

2. availability of immigrants.

GOP provides both of these. Why would they care if ppl working for them are illegal or on h2 visa.

> Give them papers and you'll have no problem finding jobs!

Trump admin increased h2 visas despite what you are claiming. We had the highest number of h2 visas allocated under Trump and Bush and lowest under Obama admin. Obama slashed these visas by half from bush era.
Most of the resistance to seasonal visas comes from democrat voting unions who lobby against these visas. They lobbied obama govt to slash those visas under the guise of protecting their local union memebers.
