Well, they are pretty fun to shoot. It’s an activity you can do alone or with friends that’s challenging, just like archery or bowling.

In rural areas they’re almost ubiquitous because they’re used for hunting, animal control (I’ve personally killed a probably-rabid skunk, rabbits that kept getting in the garden, etc.), and self defense.

If a man or two break in to my house I might, and I stress might, have a chance against them unarmed. My wife would not. Our neighbors are far enough away where nobody would hear her scream, and even if she managed to call 911 they would probably take 5-10 minutes to get here.

I had an old classmate and his company do the tiling in our living room a few years ago. A year or two after that he got deep in to meth and ended up breaking in to a girl’s house, tied her up, and raped her all night while threatening to kill her baby. I was happy I keep a pistol in the nightstand after hearing about that, and I make sure my wife trains with it a couple of times a year.

There’s also the whole “keeping the government in check,” and “the second amendment protects the first,” lines of thinking, but I think that’s why some people are adamant about the second amendment itself - not guns.
Blocking is not a problem. However, futex ops are not supported yet so how exactly any lock op would work is not determined yet.
Something like that.

The only way we in the west can change China is via friendly trade and cultural exchange.

The west stills holds enourmous soft power but that power is nullified, if we are perceived as an enemy.

The chance to do things by force (military, through sanctions, by economic means) is gone, if it was ever there.

I had both a computer and a piano “dumped on me”. I learnt the computer by reading the book that came with it, going to the library to get more books and occasional buying a magazine.

The piano I started off with by trying to play along to TV theme tunes and songs i heard on the radio, then I started making my own music up. That was 40 years ago and I still make music just about every week if not everyday.

During my years as a dev i have really started to dislike ORMs. They always fail in the end. SQL is universal, and transfers between languages and tech fields. This is why im pro-sql, and always try to avoid unnecessary abstractions.

I have actually went back to writing pure SQL in files, and using those as params for whatever db engine i use, this makes it even possible to reuse the code in other projects (even its unlikely that you can use the exact same query, but just as a "it would work" in theory).

For node based projects i have used and would probably still choose pg-promise (https://github.com/vitaly-t/pg-promise).
Its not my first time getting burned by a defi project, but it was the first time where the network itself was a major contributor to my losses.

If it weren't for the Polygon network going down my stop loss protection would have exited my pools and limited my losses to around 10% instead of 100%.

Reminds of my retail trading days and waking up to see a stock gap below my stop loss during after-hours.

This is one of the fundamental flaws with many L2 networks. The lower fees are enabled by a centralization of the versifiers which makes them more susceptible to high loads and DDOS attacks like this.

BTC and ETH have both been the victims of DDOS attacks in the past, but it takes orders of magnitude more money to do it because of the high gas fees on those networks.

Why are intentions irrelevant? If someone is hurting me (or others), I do consider the question of whether they are doing so intentionally or inadvertently to be highly relevant to my judgement of their behaviour and how I am going to respond to it.

What is your incentive to do that? I see that as the key. In a company, employees needs an incentive to work together and be constructive. They are not friends.

If you do not get that incentives, if your department success means less budged for mine, if my colleague success puts my job at risk, if your project success creates a problem for mine, I will not be motivated to collaborate.

If you create that incentive of collaboration then the "challenge" factor will be there. I have worked in great teams where we were evaluated as a company, where bonuses were for everybody or no-one. And it was a very competitive environment, I wanted to be as good as any colleague, know as much as they did. And, I wanted them to succeed because it was awesome to see such great projects but also because it was good for myself.

I have not found any healthy company were competition was enforced top-down. Only when collaboration is designed and encouraged top-down then healthy sportsmanship arise from great engineers and teams.
Tips on how to extend laptop battery life
False Polarization
The situation is clearly asymmetric tough. The Apple Daily is not a great paper and they got more coverage than they deserve but they are symptomatic of a need for people to voice opposing opinions.

Now there is basically nothing left. Local news outlets will censor themselves because the law is overly vague and will be systematically interpreted in the broadest possible way. Journalists are harassed and intimidated, if not threatened physically.

The independence of justice is also in peril with judges being replaced and pressured into compliance.

There is no turning back for HK, it's just terribly sad. It could have been an example for China, an experiment. Anti-China sentiment was comparatively fairly low while there was some token respect for the 2-system.

I agree with you that China only shows us how weak it really is with its display of comically over-the-top caricatural retaliation against any form of dissent.

I'm not sure what resisting can look like though. No cooperation is granted but while I'm a resident, I'm also a foreigner and a guest here. Options are limited apart from being an observer.

I love HK with all my heart and it kills me to see it go through that transformation into a pro-CCP satellite.

The tank has breached the border -figuratively- and I don't think anything will stop it now. I expect freedoms to slowly erode a lot further over the next few years as the CCP increases its hold over the various representative bodies (only patriots allowed!).
I find people hate/are ok with ORMs based on how they're used.

If you're using it to ad-hoc query your db then it's understandable you'll hate it - a leaky and poor abstraction over sql. Probably a bad fit.

Projects where I've seen it work well is when most of the logic is in the app with per row/per aggregate changes. In these apps it's only used for the "object relational mapping" side of things - ie to marshal types to/from db rows.

I've never found auto-migrations in ORMs good for anything less than a 1 day project - it's a world of hurt.
Go back to Blind.
To be honest things like that may sound funny to you, but it's easy to take things the wrong way. I'd leave out the last sentence.
Yes, it's a joke, but a joke that makes me money.
I couldn't agree more. ORMs might be an ok choice to get started quickly and to maintain a consistent way of working across teams, but over time they very frequently become a bottleneck. Having a handwritten, optimized SQL with specific joins and subqueries, tailored to the exact problem - or even better yet, a pre-planned query or postgres function is often orders of magnitudes more efficient and can make a substantial difference in terms of response times and running costs for your db servers.
Personally, I didn't feel it was particularly great. All the sound seemed to come from in front of me and sounded like the stereo effects occasionally used in music tracks. Perhaps it's due to the shape of my head and ears not matching their model, as suggested in some of the comments above.

I'm all in on prettifying... If it's done automatically. I find it such a good tradeoff to not have to think about it that I'm happy to accept the times when I think my discretion would do it better.

That said, I've started to develop strong views on some eslint rules. Usually around things being errors that should be warnings in development, like logging messages or debugger or unused variables. I like to run in CI with max warnings being zero to catch them then.

The first production outage of my sysadmin career was when I crashed a university email system at a summer camp (I was a kid attending, probably very early 1990s?) by circumventing the block on emailing the entire university, using the Mac keyboard shortcut Cmd-A to select all in the recipient field in the cc:Mail UI. I apologized for childishly causing harm with something I thought would be funny, and so they decided not to kick me out.

It’s very common. Top management in large political orgs do not want to be associated with a failed project. They will spend the first days actively covering their tracks. Once this is done, they usually send HR to clean house. Unions stay low too because on the paper this good for the employees (salary is there, more time is given to pivot, etc).

A while ago I worked on an SMS gateway and somebody had entered their own phone number in some sort of test. Somebody tested it, and there was a bug which triggered 100s of messages to be sent to their phone.

This was over a decade ago, when the messages were stored on the SIM and there was a limit as to how many they could hold (something like 20). So you just fill up the limit and that's it right? Nope, the carrier helpfully buffers messages that can't be received, and they will be sent/received when there is space on the device. I can't remember how they resolved it in the end, I guess just waiting for the messages to expire (72 hours).
Sorry, but I completely disagree. If what you were saying was true, then physical synths would have the same problems in live performances. I think the problem is not the instrument, but rather how people are used to using the instrument. If you're used to mixing synths for stereo, then your ideas for how to make a synth sound good beyond stereo are much weaker.

Also, there's so much you can do to the sound of a synth and so many powerful synths out there. If you're complaining about the sound being too smooth or simple, you just haven't played around with powerful synths often enough.
> There is a popular narrative being reproduced that Walmart is a bigger planned economy than the Soviet Union ever was, and that they tried an internal market and that it was a disaster

Honestly, this misses the point entirely. Both planned economies and unplanned economies have organizations doing the producing and these organizations are obviously planned internally. But in a free market economy there is competition, so when these bureaucracies (inevitably) become sclerotic or dysfunctional, they are driven out of the market by new competitors, and so competition is what keeps things efficient. Whereas in planned economies there is no competition. If you want a car, you go to the state auto company. And when that bureaucracy becomes sclerotic, you can't defect and launch your own competitor. Nor can the state motorcycle company decide it wants to pivot into autos and drive the state auto company into the ground by offering a better product at a lower cost. There is simply no competition and thus no alternative for consumers. Therefore you see this typical pattern in planned economies where there is an initial boom and things even look really good but over a generation all these bureacracies become dysfunctional and require more and more inputs to produce a single output, at which point you start seeing chronic shortages and terrible quality problems.

Arguing that the actual bureaucracy doing the production is "planned" and thus there is no difference between an economy based on competition and a planned economy with no competition is not to understand why one of these is superior than the other. It does not matter how big Amazon is, what matters is that there is competition to Amazon and that Amazon can be driven out of business once is starts to become massively inefficient.
I have to imagine that this culture has to lead to hiring for this culture. Unless you are confident people can write well, and by well I mean mostly arbitrary classist standards, then you will have created a huge roadblock for people who come from different education backgrounds.

The Niche Marketing Kit – Blowout – Niche Marketing Kit
Founders, in general, have to work really hard on themselves to avoid starting gazillions of projects, features, side hustles, and so on. And that's whilst being fully busy with their one business they're founding.

So I totally agree that in a regular job, it's just a matter of time until they bounce, at least mentally.

The problem today is the glamourisation of "starting your own thing". I did it and still do it because in a way, that's all I can do without losing my mind entirely, but it's far from being easy or fun or even at times enjoyable. It's just that a job would be worse for me. And I hate seeing people built for companies start their own and be completely miserable because they're barely using their skillset since they now have to do everything, everyday. (Talking about bootstrapped tech here.)
So what you are saying is that the "slower" readers are not at a disadvantage? It doesn't surprise me that amazon has crypto reading and writing tests for all of their meetings. sheesh.
There is a LOT to unpack when you assert work is demotivating. I've generally found when mentoring that bad management is common and terrible managers are also common. This is a real cause of demotivation for plenty of workers.

Turning up every day to some mini hellscape created by nasty people and money / need for money then becomes the only reward. Those are the biggest causes of demotivation right there.

Prime example: deliberate hiring to fire. No one should be advocating that. Its incompetance. A real ethical organisation would be investigating who hired the person and who managed the person. Then seriously consider firing them as well. Minimum action is to reduce rewards, eg bonuses, as penalty. Hiring done well is expensive. Hiring poorly implies something bad in the hiring process. Why tolerate that?

On 30th May I received an sms from my post office at 2AM. It says that the package with some tracking number couldn't be immediatelly delivered and there will be a followup sms when I will be able to claim that package at the local post office.

I asked at the post office about it and they said: "oh, many people ask about it. We received that sms too. That is to be ignored."

I wonder why they couldn't send followup sms and save people trip/call to local post office.

> The organisation quickly adapts to this balkanisation and optimises for it.

That is a very good point. Once you have a company optimized for individual work, as opposite to team work, any collaboration is seen as wasteful as the company has reached a local maximum.

> It means in some cases giving anyone the autonomy to make some choices, but giving someone with more expertise the autonomy to override those choices.

This working very well in some Swedish companies. (In some places it falls into the no-body decides so the default ends winning, trap). But, I have seen it working most of the time. A team own the product, the team has its own internal dynamics and power-structures. They have a lot of autonomy, know well the technology and the product. Architects, Technical Directors, and the like barely override any team decision if at all.

In Spain it was the opposite. It has a very top-down company culture. I think that Spanish software developers work 20% to 30% harder that their Swedish counterparts. But the team is building something that is in the brain of an Architect or similar role, the team does not know the product, the team does not choose the technology. The result is many hours working and in meetings for low output. (And very unhappy employees, you want to go to Spain on vacations and not for a job).

I agree with most points of the article, and it is a good though piece.
