Is the japanese word for a part-time job really the german word 'Arbeit'? Amusing.
I have used the same Gentoo/i3wm setup for ... a lot of years. Probably 10 or more by now.

I guess we maybe changed the way package-installer (portage) profiles worked during that time, and I sort of recall something about how repos are configured being changed. Those were each at most a command or two run as root.

Otherwise, I don't really get a sense that I have had to do any tinkering other than what I specifically want to mess around with something, as you say.

E.g., I changed from grub to efi-stub booting, which was fun and took a bit of work. I tried out Conky and some different status bars (cool, but not really my thing).

Now, i3 is really pretty barebones. I can imagine that some desktop environments maybe require more tinkering than i3, but if so then that's not really Linux's fault, is it.

Sometimes you miss out on amazing products at lower prices because they don't market themselves properly. Example: safety razors are cheaper and better than any Gillette razor you might buy but very few people use safety razors because they have fallen out of fashion. Why? Because they don't market their products anywhere.
> Interestingly, almost no one argues that marketing by and for companies, products, people, causes they love (or whatever work they’re doing) is evil.

I don't believe this, likely he just made that up to make marketing look better.

> People outside the profession believe marketers have low standards of honesty. In their eyes, we’re willing to bend rules, manipulate, tell lies, mislead, and use their psychological weaknesses against them to get what we want.

Is there any evidence that these strategies aren't common in marketing?
The US sees UFOs as phenomena to be observed and investigated - there are tons of American UFO groups such as MUFON to that effect. Meanwhile the governments and militaries of many countries have considered UFOs a possible security threat. There's no real difference between the way Americans treat UFOs, culturally or officially, and anywhere else.
The CAP theorem applies whenever you have a distributed data store. This means a system you can write data to and read back from. This system is made of multiple nodes connected through a network and the clients can connect and make read/write requests from any node.

If you don't meet those conditions CAP doesn't apply to you. For example :

- an SQL database with master/slave replication but all the clients only ever access the database from the same nod (the clients will always have a consistent view of the one node they access)

- multiple processes on the same machine doesn't apply (it's a concurrent datastore but not a distributed one)

- a single SQL database instance doesn't apply (data is not distributed even if there are multiple clients. Confusingly enough if clients can keep some data and work in offline mode, then it would apply because the clients would be considered as a node of the system)

CAP was clearly created in the context of distributed database : SQL, noSQL, CDN,...
Can it apply to an entire system made of multiple components such as database, multiple services,... ? Things get muddier but I'd say yes as long as you check all the boxes: a system with data spread on multiple nodes that clients can access to where the connection can get severed.

Application servers with no local copy losing connection to the server : no. Where is the distribution of data? Where can a network failure partition the data? There is not much A or C choice to make when a partition occurs. Applying CAP wouldn't be very interesting here.

However application servers with local copy : yes CAP applies. In case of a partition there is a trade-off to be made between C and A.

To complicate things further, CAP has basically two versions. There is Brewer's version which talks in general terms is not formal and gets hazy when you drill down to the details. The other version is the one of Lynchs's Paper that provided a proof for the CAP theorem. In that version the definitions are very strict and consequently many real worlds aspects don't fit. Depending on who you ask you may get different answers.

For example, take the context of a database distributed on multiple servers in a datacenter with a reverse proxy that can detect partitions and always redirect read/write queries to non-partitioned nodes. In that context you could say that you have all three C, A and P because there is never going to be a request on a partitioned node. According to Lynch's version of CAP this is not C consistent because you have non-failing nodes that can read stale data (the question of whether there is going to be any request or not is outside the purview of the proof).
Wow. This looks really promising. I always found it a bit awkward that you have to bend the other languages to fit in the microservices model. I mean, yes, it's easy to do so in some of them but still there always seems to be a lot of boilerplate that you have to reiterate again and again. I think it was about time to have a language that takes care of the basics. Another one that I had in mind was ballerina (https://ballerina.io/) but unsure how it actually fares so far.

Interested to hear production or even PoC stories on both of them.

Thanks for sharing.
English grammar is heavily taught in elementary school (K-5, ~age 5 to 11) and middle school (6-8, ~age 11-14) curriculum in the US.

You're pretty much expected to have the grammar down by high school, where the focus shifts to composition (essay courses, etc.)

This was my experience growing up here anyways. The last time I had a test question ask me to circle the past participle was middle school (and the SAT).

> one is a question of visual representation that should be represented by a unit that a user can define (tab),

where does this assumption come from ?

> In your example, with whitespaces, it's basically arbitrary - here it's 12spaces, next function where you multiline the arguments, it's `connect_more_14_chars(` so it will be 26 whitespace chars...

in practice it'll just be one key press as tools do the alignment. why would the number of whitespace chars matter at all ? what matters is that things are aligned.
Some projects use FIXME for things that need more urgent improvement to distinguish them from 'would be nice' TODOs. I wonder how many of these repos that is the case for?

Who actually wants this? People want good libraries for doing this with the languages they already use, not to have to make compromises just so they can have a microservice. Notice that the front page gives lots of examples of the servicey parts of the code, but absolutely no examples of what the business logic looks like. In fact, even in the documentation, the example code is minimal and trivial.

Au contraire, this is exactly the thing that we should look into in an emergency! RNA-slippage is a well-known mechanism that a healthy cell has safeguards against. The corona virus exploits this slippage, so disabling it using a drug is a novel and smart approach as this presents a likely very specific attack surface (meaning side-effects will likely be few). Ignoring this mechanism would be very imprudent. What makes you think the usual precautions (cell lines, animal models, phase I, II, III trials) will not be taken as per usual?
advertising/marketing is manipulative/evil

charities can appeal for help vs compete against other charities for the available $$$.
I think the industry is in general in a race to the bottom for privacy. Sure, if a competitor gets information that you don't collect, he has an advantage. Others are forced to collect data as well.

The only safeguard would be sensible policy.

Problem is that politicians ask "big tech". Few of these companies have an interest of collecting less information. On the contrary, they would probably try to sell access to their data in the process.

I don't think advertisers would care too much about not being allowed to collect certain info as long as they can be sure their competitors are subjected to the same rules.
My personal preference to solving this problem is a simple rule. "No alignment allowed.", Then you only need to worry about indentation, and the character used does not matter.
I suspect the trick is harnessing them in the right configuration. Otherwise you've got the old (n^2 – n) / 2 problem.

Marketing is not intrinsically evil but evil marketing is incentivized by (1) the existence of marketing companies, who have to market things just to continue existing, and (2) the existence of a million and one bullshit products whose only purpose is to make money because that's how we run our economy for some daft reason, and whose existence is predicated on persuading you to buy garbage with negative utility.

More broadly, the economy is designed to drive people to get you to pay for stuff, whether it personally enhances your life or not. This intrinsically predatory motivation favors the evil over the helpful.
> Why do you want to recalculate the number of spaces before 'that' based on any change to the length of the function name 'connect'

from experience ? connect is a Qt function that dates back to 1995, it's been here for the last 30 years, it'll be there when I retire. Optimizing my experience for "what if connect was renamed" is a big YAGNI.

> , and why do you realize you don't want to when it comes to aligning connect with 'foo' to be consistent with this styling instead of indenting priority?

I don't understand what you mean there, what would "aligning connect with foo" mean ?

But I never press the tab button. It just aligns correctly when I press enter depending on the context.

That's called marketing.
>because they don't market themselves properly.

Safety razors are still being made by all of the major razor manufacturers. Its not that "they didn't market themselves properly" its that the companies that were making them decided its better to sell people a cheaper, shittier razor in an even shittier plastic frame for several dollars a piece rather than sell safety razor blades for 10c each. They intentionally don't market their safety razor products at all.

There are smaller companies that have started making them because there's a very small, niche market for safety razors. Perhaps some of them have issues marketing correctly, but the biggest issue is that they are competing with giant companies that thoroughly convinced the world that an inferior product is better decades before these tiny boutique companies ever existed.

Yes; I wonder if the same result applies in even higher dimensions? Do all nets of the 5-cube tile 4-space, etc.

There is a proof on WHUTS that all 261 nets of the 4-cube can, but is a proof by exhaustion (i.e. try every net in an automated manner and see if it is possible), this may be possible to do for the 5-cube nets (9694 possibilities), and 6-cube nets (502110 possibilities), but starts to look difficult in higher dimensions.

Agreed, but the crypto crowd wants smart contracts to be ultimately used by everyone, which means (in their hypothetical world, which I hope never materializes) many if not most uses will be of the "had to use" kind.
> The research found that working 55 hours or more a week was associated with a 35% higher risk of stroke and a 17% higher risk of dying from heart disease, compared with a working week of 35 to 40 hours.

That is a risk I'm willing to take, I'm afraid.

To put it in context, according to Google search infobox, "The global lifetime risk of stroke is approximately 25% starting at the age of 25", so the risk jumps from 25% to 34%. Is that a lot? Depends on your priorities.

I wonder if and how they managed to properly control for things like obesity or stress. Most middle-aged working professionals are in a terrible shape from my observations.

Sometimes there are aspects of the brain designed for one purpose that get used for a total different one. For example, neurons that detect smell will trigger when we are thinking about purely moral issues, possible because it helps to boost the emotional reaction.

The body do cool down when it sleeps, and many people do feel aided in falling asleep if they lower their body temperature a bit. Yawning might just be that, a small trick to get the body to do a short temporary jump towards a more sleepy state, and a social ques with a minor biological aspect to trigger similar state in a social group. It could also be the other way around, that being a social trigger with a minor biological aspect attached that happens to have a real use in other animals.

You just described a situation where marketers made people miss the good products by heavily marketing Gillette razors. Why do marketers market the overpriced products instead of the good ones? Because they do it for money, they don't do it to help you. So from a consumers point of view they are evil.
