The lack of empathy is certainly sad, but seems to be a constant of the human condition. Not all of us are like that, of course, but many are, and those that are unempathetic tend to want to rule over those of us that are.

Hm I hadn’t thought about this in that way - this is very true - we maintain a lot of close relationships with people we don’t spend nearly 40 hours a week with.

And fwiw, I think I fall within this line of thinking - for me going to the office would be productive if it were at its absolute most once per week.
Not an LLVM developer, but I've given my thoughts at [1]. The QBE developer agrees fwiw[2], and there is some other interesting discussion in that thread, in particular comparing block parameters to CPS. (Which I think is appropriate for a functional-language compiler, but makes less sense for an imperative-language compiler which must manage mutability and which tends to be less focused on interprocedural optimizations.)

It reminds me of why I am not a big fan of Flutter either. Not a fan of the deep nesting which both SwiftUI and Flutter needs to do for even moderately complex UIs.
The fact that it's not easy to write any sort of Async and standard sync interop is incredibly brutal. It's fairly obvious that Async was an afterthought and not given the same love and attention as the rest of the language.
It's such a joke too.
My firm is letting us know they will be so benevolent as to give us 20% time WFH "hybrid" once we return but "you can't just all take Fridays" and "we will set the WFH schedule for you initially".

My place employment had almost 280 people get vaccinated (myself included). On the second dose well over 50 percent came down with flu like symptoms about 12 hours later. I was sick for 3 days and my wife was sick for 2.

Would be curious on this forum on how many people got sick from Moderna.
Do you have sources to support your idea is more than just conjecture? I just finished an engineering risk management course and transporting oil by rail was unambiguously riskier.
According to the article, anonymous members of the US State department leaked documents suggesting members of Bukele’s government are corrupt.

Is this the same US government that waged a secret proxy civil war in El Salvador for 12 long years in the 1980’s? [1]

Would that be the same US State department that, according to Wikipedia [1], spent $1-2 million a day in 1980 dollars to fund the training and deployment of a child army to fight in said civil war, per Wikipedia?

From the article:

> “Relations between El Salvador and the United States are not at their best.”

(Notably, the last times relations between the nations was not so good the US funded a 12 years long proxy civil war fought by child soldiers.)

Critical thinking is important here given the realpolitiks of the situation suggest one would have to be extremely naive to assume these sources are genuine or unbiased on this topic.

It is clear that Bukele’s actions were not looked upon favorably by the US State department and that they may have sent their propaganda arm into overdrive.

The US State department is just doing their job protecting American interests, so you can’t blame them for trying to smear a highly popular democratically-elected Central American leader with a demonstrated economic policy that shifts away from US Dollar hegonomy.

However, it falls on each of us to think critically on the realpolitik here and demand more evidence than the smears of anonymous US state Department sources.

Trump recently tweeted that Bitcoin is bad for the US dollar [2].

This is of course true, but he wasn’t supposed to say the quiet part out load.

By admitting an obvious truth in public, he just made it harder for the US State department and their media lapdogs to spread US friendly propaganda.

Tell me again who is corrupt here?

Regarding the SQL builder - Is it a visual editor that allows me to explore my database and create queries?

Also curious to know how you would differentiate your offering from say retool or other low-code builders which also support multiple databases and have chart components?

I am assuming that with screen rights, a company can expose a dashboard built using retool to their customers as well.
Fear is one hell of a drug.

But really, I think many people are laser focused on not just minimizing risk of COVID, but now trying to zero out COVID risk, that having any reason to delay receipt of a vaccine isn't a pre-existing medical condition is considered a form of aggression.

At some point we transitioned from "bend the curve" to "eradicate the virus", and this seems like a byproduct of that mental shift.

I don’t think anyone’s arguing we should eradicate all mosquitos, just the ones that carry human diseases (which IIRC are in many cases non-native species).
Any time I read "kills 99% of germs" or "cuts by 77%" I think, nice, that's some strong selective pressure to help us evolve more resistant <insert things that annoy Homo sapiens>. Particularly bad in agriculture where there pests have evolved resistance multiple times.

That said, eliminating Polio, etc. are examples of where things really worked out, so it can happen, YRMV.
Someone sufficiently wealthy can push off taxes until they die and their heirs can use the step up basis[1] to avoid them entirely.

There's also a huge advantage in the ability to choose when one wants to pay taxes even if they eventually do get paid. Buffet loves to talk about unrealized gains as a loan from Uncle Sam at zero percent interest.

Dare I mention another thing called Observation[0]?

It's a game you play as a computer to help a human to figure stuff out #HowToNotSpoilThings. Not sure why a computer needs an UI, but the UI design is really good. What makes it even better is that it's a game so almost all UI elements are "functional" instead of just be there look pretty.

Please no. There is no need to squeeze new buyers and force them into subtandard conditions. There's no reason cities can't redevelop 2 neighborhoods to 10 stories instead of 1 neighborhood to 5 and still have livable 1-2br apartments. The "where will we fit everything" issue is manufactured by NIMBYs who think a designated area for micro-housing or single story ADUs in the backs of lots will spoil their views less. It's another way to maintain the class boundary while appearing socially responsible.
> States with this amount of obstructive ossification, such as the Byzantine Empire or Austria-Hungary, don't generally stand the test of time.

Even if you only count from the time it didn’t share an Emporer with the West, rather than viewing it as a linear continuation of the Roman State, looking at the Eastern Roman Empire as somehow a state that did a substandard job of standing the test of time is, well, implicitly setting a really high bar, since even counted from the partition its, what, the second longest lasting state in history?
About the meeting load proble, this was actually happening with me a bit before 2021 so I did the most sane thing: I talked with my manager and my manager's boss about it in a non-confrotarional way.

Turns out both of them and 80% of my coworkers felt the same way, so we decided to trim down meetings to the bare minimum,arrange them so they are close to each other, and the company had to instate that meetings need a clear description and goal before setting them up.

I still get the odd day where my afternoon is completely booked, but I now have about 30 hours of uninterrupted work where I can program, trouble shoot, analyse data or pair program with junior people.

I believe we have to be constantly watchful "meeting creep" and always question stuff such as ritual meetings. If an IC is swamped by meetings, things are very wrong indeed.

And about the communication after work hours, unless it's an outage, I reply when I get back at work and so does everyone in my team. Maybe having this arrangement with your boss and setting boundaries is a good idea? You can't forbid them from communicating asynchronously whenever they want, but they need to respect that you won't reply to them right away.
The linked guide mentions this. The fact remains: there is no evidence, currently, to suggest increased suicide, and specifically in regards to "lockdowns". You could argue it's the coming months, and "recovery", that make or break this, not the response when the virus was actively raging.

Hey! You can use Explo to explore your database and visualize data, but it requires using SQL to initially access to data so it is not completely visual.

Retool is a great example of a tool that we feel is adjacent to us but different specifically because it is not built to be customer facing. You can expose a retool dashboard but it isn't built to be embedded natively into your web app and there is no way to customize the styles to fit your app.

Additionally, our charts, visualizations, and data representations are much more catered to application dashboards - whereas retool has generic charting components in a more raw form.
That our perception mediates our access to the outside world does not undermine our ability to deduce the existence of the outside world. We can't have 100% certainty that the outside world exists, but we don't need 100% certainty for knowledge. The question is which model do we give higher credence to: the one where all the structure inherent in our perception that suggests an external world is coincidental or internally generated, or the model where there actually is an external world and we perceive it through our senses. The latter model is more likely given various criteria, e.g. parsimony.
> So was the permit Trump issued illegal?

Legal doesn't mean "criminal or not criminal", it is about adhering to legal processes. Even if these rules are set by executive-derived departments, they have to be followed or a court may block actions (via injunction) or otherwise the organization will not progress in pursuit of something like a permit request. Norms are a testament to historic quagmires (both legal and process-wise) that the organizations have experienced and try to avoid.

In the case of Trump's order, it was legal in the sense that it circumvented those rules altogether as it was outside most of the legal machinations. An order for the permit and was enacted directly by the executive head. This does not preclude a challenge in the judicial arenas (which is what happened). You can sue about anything in the US, even if the POTUS ordered it, and it gets a hearing if there's the slightest political support.
Fantastic reading, although from 2013 it seems. Never heard of this before. Thanks for sharing.
The current government is certainly intent on reversing that tide though. Especially now with who has or hasn't the right to education in English.
Don't you think it's possible that the sense of duty and honor that some soldiers have is actually justified? Lots of people act like this country is hopeless nowadays, but there really are some that believe it's the greatest country on earth and its worth defending and fighting for. You may think it's all propaganda and bs, but the fact is that there is conflict in this world, almost all people across the world believe they are on the correct and just side, and we have wars. It's an ugly tough world and there will be no peace any time soon. The proud to be American sentiment has been on the downhill for a while now, but saying that everyone that joined up to fight on 9/12/01 and after pearl harbor were gullible, naive people that fell for propaganda seems like bs to me. I would bet that even you felt better on 9/12 knowing that we had armed forces that were going to fight back. There are some Americans whose sense of duty and honor has not waned or wavered and I'm glad they are still out there allowing us to sit on our assess making tons of tech money doing "jobs" and argue on hn.

You have it completely backwards. LVT would solve that, because all the people using the little parcels of land for a single family home would no longer be able to afford the taxes on their land. They'd sell to developers who'd have to build huge apartment complexes, making housing affordable again.

LVT ensures that each unit of land is put to its most productive purpose.
I like flat UI design and skeuomorphism too. However I am not a fan of what Apple's doing with half skeuomorphism in the latest MacOS. The new app icons look absolutely hideous. And based on anecdotal comments from others, I am not alone. Also them trying to make the MacOS app icons similar to iPadOS's rounded corner ones made it even worse.

I'm sorry, but that is BS. If a heavy haulage drives over a bridge and it collapses, the first headline will be "Heavy truck destroys bridge". And that is fine. (Subsequent investigations reveal the real reason and will have different headlines. How about the engineers did their part but maintenance didn't. Or routing selected a route that wasn't suitable to begin with. Doesn't change the fact that the bridge collapsed as a heavy truck drove over it.)

Why should the BBC talk about a bug in the headline if the source says "valid customer configuration"? They don't write for industries insiders. (Plus that industries is shit to begin with and tries to establish bugs as some kind of force of nature no one can do anything about.)

Similar experience. Pandemic made everyone work the same way I do. That said, I worked in 100% remote teams the previous decade so the Pandemic just opened up the rest of the industry as a potential place to contribute.
Sure. But again, I feel like using a "big, everyone uses it" kind of supplier is the best mitigation of the "what if I have to replace this" problem.

If a massive vendor shutters or has a long term failure, at least you're in the same boat as a bunch of experts, which is a much better place to be than "my obscure or self-rolled solution is now orphaned / hacked / broken".

The unspoken assumption always seems to be "my self-configured solution will have fewer and/or shorter issues than the massive publicly traded solution that everyone uses" but that seems ... very incorrect.

Also... a reverse proxy / CDN always is a single point of failure. The question is... is it a single point of failure that you personally own. In my opinion shared single points of failure are desirable. It's just obviously more efficient.
This is akin to being afraid of going outside because you might be hit by a car. Yes, innocent pedestrians get hit by cars and well-meaning people get hounded by Twitter mobs. These things are awful and we should strive to eliminate them.

But it's also rare enough that you shouldn't let it stifle your creativity. Don't worry about Twitter coming after you over some misunderstanding. There are far more important things to worry about. I'll tell you my biggest worry: making something no one wants.

While I totally agree with the point you're trying to make, to be fair to the Byzantines, having a continuous state structure for a near millennium (500-1200 CE) is actually the near opposite of ossification leading to speedy collapse.

To Western Europeans coming from the very loose state structure of feudalism, the fact that the Byzantine Empire was effectively a modern state (similar to ancient China) was practically incomprehensible to them. Hence the phrase! On the flip-side, the level of institutional capacity let the Romans and Byzantines ride out incompetent Emperors fairly well compared to feudal states that would quickly disintegrate with one bad roll of the "off-spring lottery".

I think that we should rather regulate the remaining $36B in supplements out of existence.

A typical silicone valley company's contract usually have some clause saying that all your creative work while contracted with the company, even on off hours, belongs to the company. So signing two such contracts with two different companies usually means they both own the code you wrote for both companies, or maybe even trickier legal implications.

Of course you can try to get that clause removed during contract negotiation, but I doubt many people would be successful on that negotiation (you might have better luck to exclude some of your open source contributions).
