I don't know how it could go long term, but for the moment I think the US actions are not without effect.

Trump's big moves were overly relayed by the press, but I think there are deeper stances that have been continuously influencing other countries decisions.

Euro countries removing Huawei from their infrastructure for instance in not benign, and happened basically as the US shifted its weight around. The US has a history of spying on the EU, so it's not just these countries doing a "safe bet" move.

Now this is such a big subject and most of it is over my head, but I think the current tension is happening mostly because for better or worse things can change.

A correction: just checked startup time of PHP vs Perl on Mac, and Perl is a lot faster, so turns out it's not quite ‘on par’.
I’ve been using https://prisma.io lately and I love it. It builds a Db client right from your db schema including Typescript typings.

What is "bullying"? Here's one definition [0]: "Bullying is an ongoing and deliberate misuse of power in relationships through repeated verbal, physical and/or social behaviour that intends to cause physical, social and/or psychological harm."

Was Felleisen's behaviour a "deliberate misuse of power... that intends to cause physical, social and/or psychological harm"? I don't know this guy personally and all I've read is some stories about him on these blog posts, but I'm not sure if he was deliberately intending to hurt other people, or merely doing so inadvertently out of social incompetence, deficits in cognitive empathy, emotional dysregulation, theory of mind deficits, difficulties in perspective-taking, etc? Individuals with neurodevelopmental and other psychiatric disorders can sometimes exhibit all of those inadvertent sources of interpersonal harm. (I'm not saying Felleisen has any such disorder – maybe he does, maybe he doesn't, I have no idea, so I must assume he might.)

To me, this has an obvious answer - size/weight. A fission primary is in the 50-150kg range, and can spark quite a bit of a fusion secondary at once. How many tons of pistons would you need for the same effect?

> Does it look wasteful to say that you’re adding a vertical bar when you have the following line of code?

It is, if the alternative is to just refactor your code to extract a method so that it reads like:

addVerticalScrollBar();

No comment, cleaner code, smaller functions/methods, everything is easier to read and follow and reason about.

The main problem with your suggestion is that you're wasting precious space to say the same thing twice.

More importantly, your comments adds nothing important or relevant to those reading the code, such as why did you felt the need to add a vertical scrollbars to begin with. That's the sort of thing that's relevant to those reading the code.

Call it denial but I just try not to think about it a lot as I don't know what the future holds and it's pointless to speculate right now as every person is different. But reading your comment did scare me a little tbh!

> Entitled people's plans don't include tire stores.

Why do you think so? I've met some extremely entitled people with very few options in life, often because their entitlement gets in the way. In grad school I was friends with a homeless guy who insisted that he wouldn't take a job in which a younger person was his boss (he was in his fifties) as he felt he was a lot smarter/wiser than those people. So that ruled out a lot of job options for him. His backup plan was doing some work in construction and helping out a guy with a welding shop because those bosses were older and one of the few people he respected well enough to consider working for them.

Being entitled is a state of mind, in which you think you are better or more deserving than what life is giving you. It is a question of the heart, not the career.

I wonder if non-crashes - situations where the car took evasive action - may have been logged and could also be investigated?

On the other hand, evasive actions may be higher because drivers cede more control to the car.

I hope not. It sounds like the test database was not being anonymized

Taking a copy of a production database and using it for tests is a bad idea, even if you believe you're expunging any private user data.

Development, staging, and test environments just shouldn't ever have access to production data. If you're at a company that's ISO27001 certified for data security it even goes as far as most employees not having any access to data. I've never seen any production data for the app I work on.

I think there are ways between "ignoring it completely" and "unperson anybody who isn't perfectly polite", and there are ways to provide feedback to people about them interacting in a bad manner without exiling them. I think most people would be amenable to such training - just as they learn other social norms. If the professor's management would be willing to employ such training - without choosing between "ignore it" and "lose the professor" - I think many douchebags would learn to keep their douchebaggery in check. Of course, it may require some effort from the management side...
I miss that culture.

It's for defence against threats - both domestic and abroad. Domestic threat includes a tyrannical state.

Certain people try to make the claim that "The right of the people" was only referring to the government/law enforcement. This is wrong.

2A: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

https://youtu.be/P4zE0K22zH8

The “right of the people” is used in the 1st, 2nd and 4th Amendment and refers to individual freedoms.

1A: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

4A: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects,[a] against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

"The right of the people" being the crucial part. If people really want to claim that the founders were talking about only the state/militia having arms and not the individual people, then with that logic would mean that only the state/militia has the right to free speech, peaceably assemble or to be secure in their houses free from unreasonable searches without warrants - which obviously makes no sense. Therefore the founders were talking about the individual people.
The concept sounds interesting but the execution seems lacking. I couldn't complete my profile because of spurious "check your inputs for errors" messages when I tried to click save on the very first section. Reloading the page several times didn't help though eventually a hard reload did. The project section silently lost an entry when I clicked save, presumably because I entered a year without a month. In the Java quiz, a question about generics failed to properly escape the angle brackets, making three of the four choices indistinguishable without reading the DOM. Question quality was quite variable.
The proof is really in the pudding, if the CCP were as popular as they claim, they wouldn't have a rational reason to crack down on competing political parties and fair elections. They know they aren't so popular, that's why they don't allow the public to have a choice.
Agree on sometimes having good reasons. Not just time to market, but also different approach. As long as in the end only the better one is shipped and the "losing" team is managed well through the decision, it could be a win.

> Of the many inhuman outrages of this present year, the only case where the proposed lynching did not occur, was where the men armed themselves in Jacksonville, Fla., and Paducah, Ky., and prevented it. The only times an Afro-American who was assaulted got away has been when he had a gun and used it in self-defense.

> The lesson this teaches and which every Afro American should ponder well, is that a Winchester rifle should have a place of honor in every black home, and it should be used for that protection which the law refuses to give. When the white man who is always the aggressor knows he runs as great a risk of biting the dust every time his Afro-American victim does, he will have greater respect for Afro-American life.

I don’t mean to be crude but it’s kind of irrelevant what the specific definition of bullying is, and it’s definitely irrelevant what his intentions were. Many people find his behavior extremely unpleasant, belligerent, mean, etc, as evidenced by the thread on Butterick’s original post, and the OP in this thread, describing being yelled at and insulted. Having a disorder may be a partial explanation for why someone behaves a certain way. It’s not an excuse for behaving in a way that other people find antisocial, and it certainly doesn’t bind others to tolerate that behavior.

Ultimately even if you actually could not act any differently because of a disorder, others would still not be required to tolerate you. This is a consequence of being social animals, we set expectations for behavior and we enforce them. If you can’t play the game, you can’t exactly expect people who can to stop playing for your sake.

Do people seriously claim this, though? Like, people legitimately keep guns in their homes because they might have to fight against the US Army some day? I thought this was a joke, something people say with a smile and a wink while they mean "we just think they're fun".
I think they were hoping that their runway extends to self-driving.

Then a well-capitalized firm could suddenly leverage their scale. Order and maintain a fleet of 200,000 driverless cars, and you can get costs lower than an individual driver with his single vehicle and inefficient fleet management tools.
The corporate nonsense is demotivating but also the lack of ownership. No, ISOs are not ownership. The vast majority of ISOs are _more_ worthless than the paper they're written on and to be honest they seem like a scam to justify lower wages in many startups.

It's one thing to have your own project where every unit effort you put potentially has an outsized effect in your market. A market doesn't have to be financial here, but it could be academic, open source, whatever. This is powerfully motivating. You matter fundamentally.

It's an entire 'nother thing to be pushing hard on a project for work. You're working on someone else's dream with limited downside for you and limited upside subsequently. You can be fired at any time and the only thing your job will say about you (legally) is "yes they worked here". All of your efforts gone in an instant and not a single thing to show for it. You're back in the candidate pool competing with fresh grads on grade school CS problems you haven't touched in years. Maybe you did well enough a couple of your ex-coworkers will throw you a bone at their friend's company or something. It's entirely demotivating. This is the definition of all work-for-wage effort. The scientific term is "the rat race".

I suppose if you're compensated well enough you can ignore this feeling. But it's still present. You're cashing in almost 60% of your life. For what?

To me, there's no amount of "micro-habits" or "good management" that will correct this. At the end of the day the C-levels and management have a concerted interest in keeping the worker bees happy for some obscure, probably driven by an MBA spreadsheet, definition of happy. All work, aside from work on your own dreams, is inherently demotivating. If it already hasn't, it will eventually suck every last bit of the bright eyed programmer you have left in you. Unless of course you _enjoy_ slaving away on someone else's dream. Then by all means - keep on keepin' on.

A long time ago I worked at a company that prided itself on unrestricted source code access to promote cross-group cooperation. The check-in procedure relied on an understanding of the code review and ownership policy but wasn't enforced programmatically.

One day I came back from lunch to see that someone had marked an entire Perforce depot for delete. I've never scrambled so fast to try to identify this unknown user. I figured it had to be an intern and ran across the floor looking for him, only to find a poor confused intern surrounded by out of breath developers imploring him to not hit submit. Every 30s someone else ran up to try to get him to not delete the entire depot.

It was the intern's first week on the job and he thought he was just deleting some local files. The event definitely inspired some access lock-downs and automated check-in procedures going forward.

I laughed when I saw the email but was also a little pissed because I am a former, not current customer. I hope HBO Max doesn't send out an apology email. That's the equivalent of unsubscribing from an email list only to get an email confirming the unsubscription that I also have to delete.
1) oil sales are denominated in US dollars

2) most countries import oil

1 + 2 = ???

Answer: most countries need dollars, because they need to import oil. If oil was not sold in dollars, the demand for dollars would be much lower.

Therefore, the US needs to control oil producers. If one producer gets out of line and decides to sell oil in another currency, the US will attack them.
These powerful people you refer to are treating this all as a game. As if apologies are only a tool to adjust public perception.

And most of the time such people really only do give calculated, insincere apology-shaped statements. Like a child forced to say "sorry" or they won't get their dessert. These apologies are rightfully criticized, but sadly for the most part they do their intended job.

If you are sorry and want to improve, and give a proper apology as a matter of integrity, the grumblings of some bystanders should not matter.

---

That being said, I think howoldius' criticism is overly nitpicky but generally valid. Felleisen sounds genuine, but writing an apology on a post-it on his own fridge and not telling anyone about it, and only acknowledging a small part of the problem as a one-off thing, isn't particularly absolving.

It isn’t resolved. It’s an asset swap that gives the bank free income.

Fractional reserve banking is a myth. All deposits come from banks making loans. They are the balancing item on the balance sheet. Banks make loans until they run out of creditworthy customers prepared to pay the current price of money.

However government payments effectively force banks to make loans to the Fed on terms dictated by the Fed.

All a reverse repo is, is the Fed offering alternative terms for that loan for a day.
> Nobody from Stanford or CMU goes to work at Amazon after college, while like a third of the class goes to Google.
> Because of that, the culture and people filter don't filter into Bay Area startups (which Amazonians usually can't get interviews at).

This is so blatantly wrong. A ton of my peers went to Amazon after graduating, very few went to Google, and certainly nowhere near a third of the class. I can confirm this from my linkedin connections/groups, but I can't even believe you're making this claim. It's also ridiculous to state Bay Area startups wouldn't give interviews to Amazonians - in my experience they would kill for a solid engineer from Amazon. Do you have any evidence this is the case?

> "common sense" measures such as waiting periods and background checks

There already is background checks in place. Anti-gunners and media who have never gone through it keep spouting that lie.

Waiting periods do the exact opposite - why would anyone want those who need a gun for self defence to wait a month to be able to buy it? Waiting periods also are getting exploited by certain anti-gun states to prevent gun purchases. If you are lets say a woman retiring home from school late at night and need one for self defence because you saw someone following you, you want to wait a month to be able to buy it?
