Of course its tribalistic, but you seem to think only one side is. Both side are tribalistic in that case, its the point of the "cancel culture".. when you can lose your job for voicing conservative opinions, no wonder you turn to voting trump.

Im not sure conservatives are the one who started it. Trump merely surfed on (tho amplified) an existing tribalistic divide.

"all other things being equal, the best plan is to let as few things into your identity as possible"

If one is opposed to, for example, the genocide of a people of some particular identity, then that strongly held position may itself be an identity, while another group holds as its identity the support of such genocide. One of these identities is essential to progress; the other is detrimental.

There is value in a moral identities, and likewise value in opposition to immoral identities. The difference is absolutely consequential, even though many people will fail discern on which side of the line they stand.
"39. Remove Microsoft Bing from Notepad++ for Search on Internet command, due to its poor reliability."

That's in response to the tankman problem btw. They now redirect people who have used Bing so far to DuckDuckGo. I am not sure what I should think of this. On one hand, it is understandable, on the other hand it shows disregard for the choice of their users. I would have understood if they had simply removed it from the default list and let current users continue using it but forcefully redirecting existing users seems encroaching.

BO has completed 15 test flights over 6 years of a platform that bears little comparison with SpaceX's achievements.

Each BO test I've watched has been very well presented and seemingly marketed - it's just that at this point, frankly, what they're doing is of less interest than that what SpaceX has accomplished.
It's kinda amusing that this particular opening line is considered terrible in English literary tradition. I would argue that it's the rest of the sentence that makes it a terrible opening — it keeps going on about the weather while most people presumably would rather start reading about the main character and his actions at this point already, — but the line as quoted is perfectly fine on its own.
The problem with modern large farmers is the same as with richer tesla owners... you buy a car/tractor with 5y warranty, you service it at a dealer (to keep your warranty), and after 5y, you trade it in for a new one. It's same as with most other devices like that.. even a mercedes... who cares about data/plans/parts/... for a 3yo mercedes? ..it's under warranty, so they'll deal with it. Same with phones... new phone has a warranty, sometimes even insurance

The problem becomes real when your tesla/tractor/mercedes/phone is 10yo (phone a bit less) and available for cheap on the second hand market... it's not under warranty anymore, financially it's not worth it to have a dealer fix it, if you can do it yourself, but you're unable to do so, because you don't have the schematics and/or parts available.

So, the large industrial farmers don't really care... it's the "little guys" who get fscked by companies like JD/tesla/apple,...

But Europe doesnt exist in the same sense as the US does. It's not a system that can blow up, it s a group of interest that prevent French and Germans to murder each others and their neighbour.

If we can do that without the EU so be it, it's not like we culturally merged just yet.

But not saying the situation is great in each country, but I suppose if Italy dies, we can still kick it out or stop the EU as long as France and Germany find a way to ensure no more world war. This is the only goal for most of us. Every other advantage is a bonus, every flaw a necessary sacrifice.

Equipment cost is a huge problem there. You need a proper clean room if you're going to tear apart HDDs and expect them to work again when you reassemble them. Not to mention, the extremely precise tolerances involved would make mechanical mods a tall order indeed.

Firmware mods would be more doable, assuming it isn't locked down.
I recall using a tool called OpenText (possibly OpenText Content Analytics) while working on the metadata project for a major newspaper. That might be the kind of tool you're looking for, or at least a starting point to find others.

Tooling around graph databases is probably relevant. Try "ontology" as a keyword too.
I've often wondered why most sites expose these status codes to the end user. The end user does not need to know, and in most cases will probably be confused by it. Plainly worded messages should be presented in the case of errors, not half an RFC.

I'm very much afraid of that one on my current project. I'm a solo developer on the front-end part of an application, I've been asking for people to help me out, and even suggested raising money and opening up a can of consultants (I used to work as one, I know some good ones that can give this project a boost). But on the other hand, I've been working on this for a year and a half now. Objectively it's not that much code yet, I guess (in the 10K LOC region), but I'm just afraid all of my technical choices will be overridden.

Mind you, I also try to use ADRs (architecture decision records), which basically force me and others to think about and defend a decision - something I've always missed in any project I've been in.

Nobody said that you can't pay Apple a big amount of money so they fix your stuff, the issue is that in newer devices it is getting harder to repair the devices using an independent service(not everyone has the money or lives near an Apple store).

If your primary motivation is short-term monetary gain then you're right, it doesn't sound like a rational undertaking.

I can think of two reasons to work on open source. Altruism, you want to give back to the community without expecting a monetary gain in return. Investment in skills, if you want to differentiate yourself from peers, you'll have something to talk about to potential employers. It is a great opportunity to learn and become a better software engineer.
You bring up some great examples, I think we do agree in principle. I must point out that I didn't really specify what simple was to me but it's quite a nuanced topic as your examples show. I just mean keep it reasonable given the context.

Why I think we do agree is that what I really love to see is actually idiomatic code. Does the software you're working in already use array map/filter? Then go right ahead. Could the types of developers working on the project be reasonably expected to learn it? Then also, go right ahead!

I prefer to use frameworks for commercial projects because of this reason. I can hire more talented developers because I can test to see if they know the idioms well, and I can also be happy investing in their learning of the framework knowing that it's going to be repeatably useful for them while working on the project, and can upskill the whole team over time. You're essentially defining a body of knowledge expected by picking a framework.

Similarly when you're architecting software you're essentially choosing what level of developer you're going to need to hire or train, and so if you're in that position it's smart to be cautious of increasing the burden of knowledge too much unless you're happy hiring for that.
That's the thing though with well developed apps:

> A similar question might be “why would you invent a new programming language, when you could just use an existing one?”

I feel like this is a bad analogy if you are trying to support the idea that teachers need to make their own lesson plans. Could you imagine if every programmer had to build their own programming language before using it create software? Nothing would ever get done.

Instead, the vast majority of programmers just use one of the many existing programming languages.

Discriminating who you’d like to be in a relationship with based on physical characteristics? It’s already somewhat controversial to reject a potential partner based on race, and I suspect things like height or weight might be considered petty attributes to judge people by in the future.
Managing Multiple Accounts with Cloutcli
My understanding of the press release is that Google is fined for merging its supply-side (AdX) and its demand-side (Doubleclick For Publishers) plateforms into Google Ad Manager in a way which heavily advantages AdX users on Doubleclick For Publishers.

As part of the settlement negociation, Google has agreed to improve interoptability with other SSP.
> I'd suggest that the best practice list approach may be a function of the target audience (SAAS CTOs) who may well not be well versed in security

Perhaps the best place to start is with the lack of risk aversion that most startup founders have. In my experience, your are more likely to sell a startup type on the business opportunity that being secure creates as opposed to risk. You are likely dealing with a person who cannand will go all in on pair of threes.
I’ve seen few OSS burn out posts lately. I created gitignore.io and I’m thankful it wasn’t that successful because even the 5 hours a month I put in didn’t yield much financial compensation.

There should really be a more transparent way that projects like this, canihazip, gitignore, redis, and a bunch of other projects can be sustainably run.
One thing I wish Notepad++ could do is to create a table document instead of the regular text document. Kind of like excel. It doesn't have to have any fancy formulas or anything like that, simply a grid with writeable cells.

I love how lightweight it is and I like collecting notes in it. Data is better in a table rather than a text document though.

I haven't checked recently whether such a thing might exist, but last time I checked I couldn't find anything like it. I have no idea how easy or hard something like this would be to add. Then again, perhaps it's better without it.
In the Boomer and GenX generations the right wing opposed free speech and the left wing fought for it. In Millennials and GenZ it’s the opposite. If you have a group that’s mixed in age but most made up of left of center people from their respective generations then you are likely to see all the would be censures in the younger half.
1 is about object identity. 4 is about object type/function. I.e. polymorphism.

It may seem like a weak criteria if you're using to OOP/FP languages that provide typesafe, efficient polymorphism out of the box. But the reason we have Obj C and C++ is that polymorphism (while also maintaining encapsulation etc.) is a living nightmare in a language like C.

I'm not sure what happened to Larry Sanger; he went off the rails someplace. :-/ I seem to recall it was fairly hard to get hold of him even back in 2005-ish.

At any rate, en.wikipedia is a bit funny. Many language versions of Wikipedia are particular to just one country, or at best/worst a couple of countries. They also tend to have biases associated with those countries and cultures.

The English Wikipedia, on the other hand, is edited by people around the world. So the intrinsic bias (or lack thereof) is at world-scale.

Since on world-scale looking in the USA is quite conservative these days; looking out you'd expect Americans to feel that the world (and thus the English Wikipedia) has a progressive bias.
1. There are a lot of goods where supply is naturally limited. Nice holiday destinations, for example. Good housing in desirable locations is another. Space on public roads. This implies that there is some population size where some notion of real wealth per capita is maximized. That population size may be much lower than 7 billion.

2. Economic growth can be driven by increases in productivity. Automation can massively boost productivity. But at a certain amount of supply of labour, it is cheaper to employ a human than automate the task, even though the automation technology for that task is within reach. So a reduction in supply of manual labour can actually make the economy more automated and efficient.

I think with the modern internet, and GitHub, it's much harder. It used to be reasonable to make a release every year or so, and basically not be in communication other than that. You could also assume all your dependencies would release updates every year. Now people expect replies to their GitHub issues within a few days, if you have CI you were probably using Travis and had to update everything, etc.
