Tbh, I've just been down a few wikipedia rabbit holes in my time and came across it reading up on religions. If I was actually at all religious, I'd like to have been Zoroastrian. It at least would be closest to making the most sense to me compared to a lot of others. If more people were aware of it, I see it as a good thing.

At this stage of my life I accept for a certain group of the population, they need religion to fill a gap in some people's need to feel like they belong. If that gap is filled with something that has less ties to imperialism and is a general ethos of "Be excellent to each other" I'm totally fine with an upvote now and then.

You are right, but there is also the net positive Hindus feel about Zoroastrians. The (probably made up) story that I heard was that when the Zoroastrians (Parsi as they are called in India) came to Indian land escaping persecution from Islam, an emissary was sent by the Indian king of the state of modern day Gujarat with a bowl filled to the brim with milk - to indicate that the kingdom was already filled and there was no space for new people. The Parsi leader added a pinch of sugar to the milk to indicate - there is still space for us, and we can sweeten the milk too. This story sums up how as a minority Parsi's have come to occupy an important space in Hindu dominated India. They were provided a safe space, and in return for it they made a net positive contribution to India.
You are absolutely correct, thank you for bringing that up. I don’t currently like my job due to large pressure and responsibilities.

But, I am reaching $4M liquid net worth very soon (it’s actually much higher than that if I count some pre IPO equity I have from a previous employer, but to not be disappointed I count it as $0) thanks to frugal living and this high compensation.

That affords me to pull the plug in my 30s and live in full independence. It’s a trade off I am willingly making and knowing I am financially independent brings me a huge amount of joy. I never liked working in companies, big or small, so I might as well get paid big bucks for it and then retire quickly and spend my days making/watching YouTube videos or reading books.

So yes, despite my previous rant you quoted, I still think I am setting myself up for long term success and I’d take this life again over one with a much lower pay and stress, because it’s not forever.

True, but at least if they test negative they know for sure it was something else.
Seems out of character for AWS to deprecate something without at least notifying customers of a schedule.

Does this commit even reflect that BitTorrent support is being dropped?
Seems neat, but I'm sure this form of hosting attracts fraud and is probably difficult to maintain.
this extremely resounds with the "you're with us or you're with the terrorists" attitude.

AFAIK; the pieces where lots of people tend to die from heat waves in are the places where there isn't a regular annual need for AC.

When building a company, all that matters is acquiring paying customers, and serving them well.

If customers are on Twitter, then tweeting can be a channel for customer acquisition, as long as it's not at the expense of more effective marketing channels.

It is the same with open-source. If open-source code is part of the product or customer acquisition then it makes sense. For example, a paid analytics service may provide an open-source self-hosted version which acts as a customer acquisition channel for the hosted, paid version.

There is a community of "makers" who spend seemingly all day every day tweeting about what they're doing. I think most of them are distracting themselves from the real work of building a business. And I think the rest are selling courses and tools to "makers" using Twitter as their customer acquisition channel (dvassallo, shl, etc.). A small minority built successful businesses, then spend their days Tweeting (levelsio, dhh, etc.).
I read once that many cases of the flu are really food poisoning. I got H1N1 and felt like I was dying for a week. Looking back I now think it's the only time I've ever really had the flu.
Yea, nothing excites engineers more than some of that sales and marketing sprinkle haha! But on a serious note, I get what you mean. Once a term becomes an overarching theme for a set of tools, becomes hard to change the perception.
Each line in the GitHub web blame interface has a little icon which, when you hover over it, says "View blame prior to this change" - I use that all the time.
I can believe that, could be for me as well I guess, maybe that was just my first time having strong symptoms.
As other commenters said, it is not clear what the rules exactly are. I don’t understand when I can capture, or when I have an eye (in Go’s parlance).

It’d be cool if you could sort of similarly visualize your influence on a real goban.
yah, just looks like 58 markdown files were edited. Maybe remove from documentation first then begin to remove functionality. But if it was in the documentation at any point you know you can only stay in such and such version of software.

Seems like this is the notification.
Air Canada eventually gave me a refund...one year later. I was pretty peeved and filed a regulatory complaint only for Air Canada to punt.

One one hand I feel bad for a lot of thee airlines because I imagine having to cancel all these flights is a lot different from not having people eat at your restaurant (which I don't take lightly since a lot of them closed). On the other hand I gave them an interest-free loan for a year while they figured stuff out.

That's okay for me because I didn't need the money at the time but I imagine that's not the case for others. Curious to see the fallout of all of this.

One interesting thing is that it seems some US airlines didn't give refunds and "store credit" only.
Why just until then, if ever? Keep the money local.

As for programming jobs, I think most people who have been in the field for a while have seen plenty of examples of how offshoring doesn't work, and from what I've seen this is known in the c suite as well.
I’m not sure how you arrived at that conclusion. I can’t find a harder way to spam than this.
News at 11. Everything in Canada- airlines and healthcare is shit.
Canada actively blocks cooperation with many developing countries. For example, Indian passport holders require visa to just pass through Canadian shithole airports to come to the US.

I think every day return is delayed fine should be doubled.
Points to a lesson that's become pretty important to me: Learn enough to nearly diagnose the problem and understand what the solutions could be (even if you can't fix it yourself).

So far I've found this applies to legal services, automotive work & health services as well.
if they're going to deprecate the thing, i feel like they have an obligation to at least state why. letting random joe's from the internet chime in with sympathies explaining why they agree with the decision to remove good well used technology doesn't feel quite up the the bar i'd like to see for technologies being removed.

Not just California.

I live in Michigan -- about once every 7 years we get unseasonably warm summers. It's been 85-95 degrees through June with the sort of humidity that makes it feel like you have to actively think about breathing.

People die from heatwaves; modern conveniences like A/C make that sort of thing a lot less common these days, so while the original comment writer's attitude that "modern life is no longer possible" may have been meant to poke fun at "first world problems" -- yeah, I get it, we all have it pretty good -- these "conveniences" do more than just "make quality of life a little better"[0].

if ui/ux were based on anything scientific, each iteration would bring us closer to some ideal UI in a particular scenario.

we don't see that. we see wild changes which break large portions of spatial and muscle memory, over and over and over again.

we would stop seeing changes pretty soon if we measured and tested and honed in on the ideal UI for a given site or tool. changes happen MORE frequently and are more disruptive than ever, it seems.

If AWS is deprecating something, then it's likely that literally no one was using it and the few that might have been were given complimentary consulting to move them off of it.
So I think you agree with my comment, although your first sentence suggests otherwise.
I would assume that no one paying them anything was using it.
> They've been respecting robots.txt and tracking opt-outs for years, right?

Sort of. Kind of.

googlebot only respects part of robots.txt, the part that refers specifically to itself. It doesn't respect global robots.txt rules.

Google also explicitly don't really respect the disallow rules:

> However, robots.txt Disallow does not guarantee that a page will not appear in results: Google may still decide, based on external information such as incoming links, that it is relevant. If you wish to explicitly block a page from being indexed, you should instead use the noindex robots meta tag or X-Robots-Tag HTTP header. In this case, you should not disallow the page in robots.txt, because the page must be crawled in order for the tag to be seen and obeyed. [0]

> comments were an anti-pattern to writing good code

I've been programming in one form or another since I was 8 years old (around 38 years) and this was obviously incorrect to me back then, even though I wasn't sharing my work with anyone else, and hadn't heard this concept.

Years later I was astounded to move into a "modern" dev environment where people (developers, devops) parroted this line regularly. As you say it's nice in principle, but in reality relying on it proves to be impractical.
I pretty much hate the rounded corners thing, and I actually prefer Windows to Mac OS X and Linux these days. It is so unnecessary and yet creates UI problems for many applications that might want behavior incompatible with rounded corners, such as graphics applications that draw to a window. It also pretty much creates a border inside the window that you need to avoid.

I’m tired of things just getting changed by undisciplined designers. The other day, my Google Meet updated. I mentioned it and people asked how it was different. All I could say was I didn’t really know, it just looks different with different buttons, placement, and style. I needed to relearn where stuff was. What a pointless change.

this is what the web's upcoming File System Access[1] really enables, but stealtily so. it's advertised as an implementation, as the capabilities to interact with the filesystem. but it's also an interface too. JS having a interface for filesystems is going to be extremely great.

The censoring of negative reviews and the ease with which hosts can do this is a major turnoff for me. I've used AirBNB for years with superb results, but then a few years ago I started (in major European capitals) getting completely crappy apartments whose flaws (like being a studio and not a one bedroom, like having a toilet in a top floor Paris apartment needing stuff pushed down with a brush, like construction, etc.)

Then I understood. I went back to look at reviews and saw most of my reviews weren't there anymore. I was looking for one in particular, which was somewhat negative about location, and of course that was gone (the listing was still there with 5 stars). But others, too.

I spent a bit of time reading online about this, and came across Reddit forum messages in the AirBNB sub where hosts tell each other tips on how to remove reviews (there are a ton of messages on the topic). Then the other week Bloomberg wrote an article complaining about the same thing (https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-05-26/airbnb...).

The horror stories in the linked article above are of course a bigger problem. But a company that censors reviews on a peer to peer system (it's not Walmart or Amazon selling goods) is worse. And it's not just peer to peer, it's where you fly thousands of miles to lay your head and bring your family.
Wow! A lot of downvotes this time with no comment! That's how I know it was a good idea! And I should keep making the comment over and over regardless of how unpopular it is. Because the unpopularity of my comment is a hint that I know something that other people do not.
Yes, exactly. I get a billion messages a year about obscure lambda runtimes expiring for junk I provisioned half a decade ago and haven't ever invoked.

There's no way this had any real users if it is being quietly turned off.

When you frame it like that it isn't, but that's because you're ignoring the second part of the equation which is "then Google can tell where an Android device is when it sees that BSSID even if its location services are turned off."

Turning WiFi SSIDs in to location data doesn't track people directly, but it does enable the mass surveillance of people's devices, and that's something that's quite reasonable to opt out of.

I'd suggest people research whole house fans. They mount in the ceiling on your top level and suck air from your open windows into the attic.

We had one growing up in Iowa. Despite upper 70's to mid 80's much of May, June, and July, we were able to avoid running the air conditioner by sucking in the 50-60 degree air overnight and closing up the windows during the day. By late July and August, it was time to use the air conditioner.

The fans can typically rotate all the air in a house every handful of minutes, and the breeze helps sweat evaporate, immensely helping comfort. Their cost is typically a couple hundred dollars, but you can spend up to ~1,200 for a quiet, high volume model.

I'm looking to install one in my house. The downside I'm trying to work through is, should a fire break out, I want the fan to turn off. I haven't found a COTS system to do this and integrate with the hardwired smoke detectors.

If we paid $1/gallon of gasoline into a carbon recapture fund, that would be more than enough to offset the emissions burning the gasoline would create.

The real crime is that all the things you’re talking about are far more expensive than such a tax, yet politicians still refuse to act.
Alas, those only work in desert climates. Much of the world is relatively humid and "swamp coolers" are ineffective there.
You have made me realize I should investigate commercializing the system we have. I added minutely screenshots, of course could be higher frequency if I want to use the resources. The screenshots can be played back at high speed as a movie. The commercialized version could integrate all the other activity statistics, maybe even label other external events like commits, as a browsable surveillance device, like a security dvr, but on the employee. This will be and is 100% legal btw, despite the objections being raised claiming it would be illegal, it absolutely isn’t.
Hmmm interesting. I have camelcamelcamel alerts for a couple air conditioners but they have never gotten down to the price I set. I guess that explains it. Maybe another summer of a fan and wet t-shirts for me.
It's actually a simple fix. You can buy the capacitor on AMZN, kill the main breaker in the box near the AC unit. Get a screw driver and disconnect it and if you want you can then cross the leads with the screw driver to make sure it's drained. Install the new one and flip the breaker and your set to go. Cap costs around $20 and you you saved yourself a $100 service call.
Right-oh. I see, thanks.
Great insight, makes what they're doing seem even crazier as I'm guessing very few of the remaining user base are going to be happy about the nicknames and channels they're familiar with being up for grabs by anyone.
Purely speculation but I'm wondering if they're planning to turn Freenode in to another "free speech" platform, hence their lack of care towards the current users and comments about it being a "sovereign state" as mentioned by other commenters.
The official holiday is always on July 1, but when it's midweek, celebrations often don't get rolling until late in the day (eg [1]). I've always interpreted this as an acknowledgment that a lot of employers let people switch the day-off to a nearby Friday or Monday.

Your restrictions wouldn't really work on the broker level: people would just shop around to get a different broker, or just connect to the exchanges directly. (After all, that's what brokers do.)

You'd also have to apply the same treatment to all derivatives. Especially in-kind settled futures.

You'd also need to take dark pools and internalisers into account, ie people trading outside of the exchanges.

You'd also need extra rules that would prevent people from splitting their portfolio over multiple accounts.

How would you deal with eg indexing mutual funds that are held by retail investors? Presumably you want retail investors to be able to trade as fast as before, and I also assume that you don't want to force retail investors to do all their investing in individual stocks. Now, if money is flowing into a index fund, should they be allowed to buy more stocks?

I specifically picked indexing funds here, because they don't trade because of any information they got: they just want to mechanically hold the index. I also specifically picked mutual funds, because ETFs typically don't _trade_ in the traditional sense when money comes in or goes out.

ETFs don't buy and sell stock when they money comes in or out, or when the index changes composition. Bloomberg has an article: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2019-etf-tax-dodge-lets-i...

Order books on exchanges are already publicly visible and anonymized. See eg https://www.cboe.com/us/equities/market_statistics/book/SPY/... or look at the website of your favourite broker.

You'd also have to enforce your delay globally, as otherwise people will trade in other countries.

And, after you fixed all those issues, my question remains: who would trade with all those retail traders? Institutional trading on exchanges would largely cease.
In iOS, you can set a WiFi network to Low Data Mode, macOS doesn’t seem to have an option like that.

I don’t think any of these are relevant to the subject of whether Google tracks the movement of hotspots.
Even the tired chef can still raise their kids with a healthy respect for food and cooking. By all means, order takeout every night if you can afford it, but take that as an opportunity for thoughtful critique: "maybe this meal was too salty because it was counterbalancing the sweetness of the sauce, or maybe the meat was rank and so it was oversalted".

Don't beat yourself up :)

Just be thoughtful and expressive with your kids, and they'll find their own way around software. Just like you did ;)
