"lovely little old rectangular green French silver whittling knife"

These are the groupings of those adjectives that make soundly sense to me:

lovely, little, old
rectangular, green, French
silver, whittling
knife (final noun)

You can mix up all the adjectives and still get the meaning but it does sound wrong. The example you give causes me to try to create the word "Frenchly" (an adverb) to fix it up.

I think that we would not normally try to describe an object in one stream of adjectives like that. I think we have a series of sets of adjectives that are deployed as required. Attempting to come up with a final rule that covers all eventualities is unlikely to work.

I've got a lovely little old French whittling knife. It's made of silver yet green in colour due to [something]. It is rectangular which is a right old pain when cutting [something].

There is a set of rules here somewhere but it isn't quite as simple as all English adjectives can be deployed as: "opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose."
Later on in this thread I pointed out a .58 lb steak in the freezer I bought for $2.90. I can PM you a photo if you need proof.
Are you sure those people are really your friends and not just people you hang out with? IMHO real friends wouldn’t use passive aggressive tactics like that.
Which is obviously a colloquialism, and has nothing to do with the meaning of the question.

Will the virus become endemic and be a common illness? Yes.

Focusing on the "common cold" is a way of making the question about severity, which is clearly not the intent.

I did a “principal” role with another name in a CTO organization. It got old quickly because you had no control, and it was difficult to actually accomplish anything.

The org evolved to a strategic devops role where we absorbed strategic platforms. “Principal” tech chops plus actual control of moats in the org translate into getting shit done.

IMO, unless “principal” is primarily a way to pay you more, you’re better off actually owning stuff than being “IT Yoda”. The same skills you think you’re avoiding in a management role are critical (and harder) for a technical leader.
unfortunately, every platform is abused by bots to harass people for [insert agenda here]

so i dont really see how making that easier, unless they also create some honey pots and ban thrse automated harassers among others.
I haven’t thought about the context gained by a house call before, but that’s a very good point. Thanks for sharing.
You're not looking for a "startup" you're looking for a "company".

Go and find an established company with a product and customers and help them maintain or maybe grow their business. Find a post-IPO or post-acquisition company that isn't trying to hustle or pivot or disrupt and get a nine-to-five where you can punch the clock and collect a paycheck and everyone's happy.

Startups are not for everyone. Don't be afraid of working somewhere that already figured things out and is only executing on that plan.
Didn't Romans always deploy recruits from one conquest to another territory? To keep them from favoring certain locals or some such. Perhaps the Greeks did a similar thing.
My high school had a maximum of ten days for a suspension but ten absences during a semester was an automatic failure so there would no longer be any reason for the student to come to school. It was a sneaky way of expelling a student without actually going through the process of expelling them officially.
also the memory management model in c++ is much more complex - most other languages just use garbage collection to deal with reference lifetimes
Personally I don't expect this to be ever improved in PostgreSQL (ie. change from process per connection model to something else), so I design my multi-user apps so that everything works fine with session pooling (quick short sessions/connections to pgbouncer) and connections that wait for NOTIFY get made directly to postgresql server, and are also limited in number.

And it works fine on low-resourced machines that I tend to use for everything.
> ...our current system of harnessing greed fails at controlling negative externalities. Without these negative externalities, greed would be a positive force.

I believe it isn't a "current system" attribute, but a chronic feature of human power dynamics in scarcity-bound systems. We've always had these negative externalities, but the reach and rapidity available to those at various apexes within our power structures has dramatically expanded in recent generations.

Greed could be perceived a positive force in the past because its negative externalities were limited to relatively local scope and durations, and its essential beneficial features could be extracted and applied in modified forms outside of those scopes. But it still sucked mightily for those within its blast radius.

I really wish there was structured, systematic study of human power structures in relation to the various common personality types engaged at different focal points of those structures I could investigate, as I feel quite naive and ignorant of them.

It is called developing critical thinking. The truly insightful people in the world have both intelligence and critical thinking. If you are sufficiently intelligent and have honed a practice of critical thinking "misinformation" just becomes another data set to weigh while making decisions. You should not expect anybody to tell you the full truth about anything. Rather you should investigate various sides of issues that are relevant to you and come up with your own decisions.

My decisions regarding COVID after observing the disease and the reaction to it:

I have decided, based in part on close contact with people who actually got the disease, that for most people the threat of COVID has been overhyped. Unless you are diabetic, overweight or come from an ethnic group predisposed toward diabetes or obesity or have other serious health conditions effecting cardio-vascular-pulmonary or metabolic systems or serious issues like cancer or extreme old age or HIV covid probably will not kill you or even seriously disable you. You could get unlucky but it does not make sense to live life in fear.

With regard to vaccines they have also been widely tested in the population and adverse effects are rare. I chose to get the one shot J&J vaccine because it was based off a more proven traditional approach rather than the unproven mRNA approach and was logistically simpler. It really baffles me why the one shot vaccines have not been more widely promoted. Yes there was the very rare incidence of blood clots in younger women. If you are not a young woman or on birth control you do not need to consider that risk. I personally think the J&J vaccine is the least risk and best tolerated. I felt flu like symptoms for about 24 hours after the vaccine starting 8 hours after I got the shot but other than that I have experienced no side effects. Sure beats getting sick for 3-4 weeks. So I am not too worried about the vaccine and not too worried about covid either. I think it is bizarre how over-hyped so many people's anxiety over both covid and the vaccines has been. It makes no sense to live your life in fear. It does make sense to take reasonable precautions. Everybody dies of something one day or another. This is a basic fact of life. I personally would avoid the mRNA based vaccines because they lack an established track record and are unnecessarily complicated and I have anecdotally heard the second shot typically has worse side effects esp. in younger people for the mRNA vaxes.
I would say it is fair for AWS to have a complicated signing method, because you really do not want your AWS account falling into the wrong hands or being intercepted through some MITM attack. With an AWS account an attacker can bankrupt you pretty much instantly.
In family oriented societies, there can be lots of support from within the family if they have assets in home country.
Agreed! Our approach with 12 or so developers: no deadlines, code review begins when you are ready. I am actively suspicious of work done quickly. I personally ensure the clients don’t expect guaranteed delivery on a fixed date. Work 38 hours a week. Once every year or two we might need to push something harder for a few days - track how many extra hours you did and take them off later whenever you like. But we try to avoid any sort of crunch.

To get a job you pass my personal, practical, coding test. By practical I mean using an IDE with full web access, Google, Stack Overflow, whatever. I try to hire people with at least 10+ years experience, but the more the better. Some of our best are well over 30 years experience.

In exchange we have a happy group of strong developers enjoying their work and having time for their lives outside of it. This has led to an extremely stable system that’s easy to add features to even after 15 years of evolution. Because of that perhaps it’s actually cheaper to work this way.
That's the default build though. Looks like with some adjustments it still goes smaller.
I use CSS to change some things (such as comment colours; I made them all black, rather than gray). I do dislike the ordering that HN currently has, and would prefer to have chronological order. If someone has a user script to do that, then I would like to see that, and then maybe I will use it too.

What else I might like to have is support with NNTP. Then, use any NNTP client to access it. (A custom header could be used as the URL link, when there is one, I suppose.) However, to support that would need to be either official or if unofficial the mirrors will not be in agreement with each other, and if it does not store local copies, will lose some data such as message ID if the client specifies it. So, it isn't really so simple to do externally.

What I dislike about the API is it provides the text as HTML, rather than in the format it was input as. Therefore, it must be converted back to its original format from HTML. (This is probably not too difficult as far as I can tell, except that there are two different ways to make literal asterisks, and this might be a problem. Please fix this.)
There is a linked follow up article that is a bit clearer:

> Moulton, who owns Forensic Strategy Services in Woodstock, also said the Zoom bombers’ local IP addresses, which pinpoint the device being used, did not match the configuration of Malachi’s router.
>
> Lotito said he did not think the Gwinnett County Board of Education considered Moulton’s report.

It sounds like their expert did know, and explicitly pointed it out, but the findings were apparently ignored.
This service does not look transparent at all.

How does it work? What network protocols does it use? What are configuration options? Is this vendor lock-in or I can go self-hosted?
This is fine for toy projects but not for commercial applications. Consuming private APIs without permission and making money from them leads to lawsuits.
I was replaying to a different anecdote. The kid is another casualty of us engineers and managers not doing our job in migrating to IPv6 in the last ~20 years or so. The world IPv6 launch was actually 10 years ago, there was plenty time to migrate.

The kid might actually do quite ok as I have suggested in other comments. Really depends on the family and its personality.

Absolutely not, but that is a demographic that is better off working from Eastern Europe than pursing less noble means :D
I was just responding to your assertion that poverty doesn't really exist in the United States. It's not as widespread as in Latin America, and tends to be more sporadic, but there are hundreds of thousands of people living in tents and improvised shelters with no access to running water or electricity and no hope for the future here. The United States is no more a homogeneous bloc of wealth and prosperity than Latin America is a continuous favela of poverty.

I read your core argument in this post to be that the form of poverty you describe is much more widespread in Latin America than in the United States. I'd be a fool to disagree with you on that. Yes, you're right.

I'm certainly not trying to win a pity contest and say that the United States is a horrible place where everything sucks. That would be absurd. But for many people, the United States is a much shittier place than you make it out to be.

As for the challenges of these places, they are daunting indeed. The United States is about as toxic a neighbor as one could ask for. Sending money and guns South, and bringing drugs North. Mounting coups. Stealing the best and the brightest from countries that desperately need that human capital. Putting children fleeing violence and poverty in cages. None of it should sit right with someone who has a modicum of conscience. But, as you have seen from our recent political battles, we barely know what to do to fix ourselves, let-alone help our neighbors. Our country is grappling with it's own reckoning as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Our Gini is 0.48 and growing. Mexico's is 0.5. With every passing year the homeless encampments get larger.

Perhaps the time will come when the fortunes are reversed?
displayplacer can definitely do this! Just running `displayplacer` should output helpful information but I can give more detail.

Let’s say you have a 1440p monitor running at native resolution without HiDPI enable.

Run this to see the (huge) list of available modes:

displayplacer list

Then from the list find the mode number for the resolution you already have that lists “scaling:on”. Also copy your monitor’s ID

Now run this with those values copied from above to change to the HiDPI mode:

displayplacer "id:<id> mode:<mode number>"
Agreed.

My beef is the chickenshit school people who escalate things out of laziness or malice. Heck, the teacher’s doubts made it into the article.

Schools that do that sort of thing are the fucking worst.

I'll go ahead and admit that I got bullied a lot at my first high school, for being a combination of gullable/fat/dorky as well as, for most of my time there, the only person of my skin color.

My last day 'in' the school, I had my head slammed against a locker multiple times by a Starter of the Women's basketball team, and was later threatened with being shot by the Football QB.

For retorting that "They'd pull the bullets out of you" to said QB (Mind you, I had all but recieved a concussion 2 hours prior) My family was first told that I was given an 'at home' suspension till the end of the semester. They told my parents that I could come back in-school next semester.

However, it was not until the *end* of that first semester that they finally said 'actually, you'd have to stay home the rest of the year'.

By that time, almost every school in the district was 2-4 weeks into their classes. There was no way I could get in.

The second half of my Junior Year of High school, I instead had to take night classes with people who were either trying to get their GED, or were simply there because of some form of court order to get their GED (i.e. they weren't trying.)

The ultimate irony of all of this, that first high school, I was a 'D+' student practically. The school I went to for my senior year, I actually wound up getting a B average for that year.

Yeah. Some schools institutionally set people up for failure. In my case, it was because there was a HUGE scandal that erupted a year or two after I left; many of those Student athletes were having their tuition paid by third parties, more or less so that they could play for that school.
Thanks! It's a bit of both really. It's only recently launched so I'm still on the hunt for new companies. They are difficult to come by, however, but the mood is slowly changing...

From companies, I'm getting a lot of responses like "We don't offer a 4 day week, but we would be 'open to applications' for it". So basically you just need to ask which is what I'm working on :)

You could use knowledge graphs to help solve those problems too. Objective fact is just a seemingly simpler domain to work in. Subjectivity is still based on objective facts, it's just a whole lot more of them that are subtler and harder to detect.
So what is the child doing for 3 months while being suspended that’s better than being at school? It’s not like school punishment having an impact on your life isn’t well documented.

“School to prison pipeline” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School-to-prison_pipeline

Even the kid and his family in the article says he liked the school

“ Malachi said he liked Couch Middle School before his suspension. Science class was his favorite because he liked the teacher, whom he is accused of bombarding with racial slurs, and he liked the quiz games they played in class.”

And they also mention the struggles of this event

“ His 21-year-old aunt has been home schooling him while juggling a full course load at Kennesaw State University.

…

“It’s really hard for him to go through this and to be associated with such horrible words,” said Malachi’s grandmother, Gillian Gardener-Valbrun. “That is a stain.”

Malachi said he would feel uncomfortable returning to Couch, where his friends and classmates know what he is accused of.“

Why would you assume to know better than the kid and his family on the impact of this?

Interested to see your evidence countering this.
It still works great for me! And the only issue I’ve ran into can be entirely avoided just by using mode numbers directly instead of specifying each setting.
Very few countries in the world have "licensure" for engineers. It's not a protected term of any sort in the US nor in most of Europe. Canada is one of the few places that's strict about it. Occupational licensing is a form of job market restriction that's generally frowned upon.
That's not the school(district)'s problem. It's the law and justice system's problem. That should be fixed instead of just hoping that nobody ever reports kids for joke counterfeiting. What if a classmate had called them instead of the school?

I think the police should deal with violence in school. Kids get assaulted at school in ways that would get the offender locked up if it happened in the street. School is somehow a law-free zone for a lot of offences.
I'd say in 2021 it applies to anything except Javascript, C#, Java, Python and Go.

There's a difference between being on call 24/7 and actually being called frequently.

I consider myself on call 24/7 and tell my team this but in 3 years have never been woken up, nor have I had to wake someone else up. One day it will happen but once in 3+ years is perfectly reasonable.
Is this really the semantic web debacle all over again? Curation doesn't scale and if you're going to do it just do it in a database already; standards lead to committees that end up choking progress because we have all the standards we really need already; NLP only pretends to understand written text but all it does really is tokenise badly. Just cache in a database already and move on!

I thought this originated with the Romans because of the high frequency use of barbarians to refer to Germans to the north that couldn't be conquered and were often a thorn in the side of Rome. But this could be a borrowed word, and my perceived definition to describe the Germans is just the long-lasting influence of the Roman empire.

Did the Greeks use it frequently to describe any one people in particular?
The punishment was too extreme. That’s a separate issue from whether using matching IP address is sufficient for enforcement (I believe it is). And let’s be real, cheaters rarely fess. Almost every gamer banned for cheating cries out at the unfairness of it all and denies ever cheating. Given that, it’s important to have a good appeal process and to make sure the punishment is appropriate considering the level of evidence. A full expulsion based solely on a matching IP address is excessive. But a 3 day suspension probably would be fine.

They solve exactly the problem you describe; I'm not sure what you're missing. What are you thinking you can't do? I have a project where I've put C++ coroutines on top of libuv and I can do essentially anything I could do in JS/C#/Rust async/await with task/co_await/etc with the imperative style you'd expect.

You may have looked at them at too low a level. Check out something like cppcoro to see what you can do. I don't use it myself, but I've stolen a few things, like task<>, which is a pretty core thing that the stdlib does not provide.

Goroutines are not cooperative multitasking, by the way, they're non-OS/"green" threads. Until you do something silly like run CPU-bound code that doesn't hit any yield points and you have to put them in yourself (at least the last time I used Go, it's been awhile).
