Perhaps this wasn't covered by the American media, but PRISM didn't just target American citizens. In most of the world, especially in "allied" nations, the controversy was about America spying on their supposed allies, especially Merkel's phone, much more than it was about some known-shady government agency monitoring phone calls.

An FBI DDoS against the USA's allies is nothing out of the ordinary. Russia, the EU, the USA, everyone is waging cyberwar against each other. Nobody wins if actual, physical, violent war is declared, so nobody admits anything.

When it comes to national security, America is not an ally that can be trusted. Just look at the sabotage the US government is applying to the European gas pipeline to Russia; afraid of losing control over the European power market, the US government is doing everything in its power to stop its allies letting them make their own decisions about the power grid when it doesn't benefit themselves. I'm no fan of Russia, its government, and I'm not exactly happy with the added influence Moscow gains over Europe with this project, but America's actions show that their government is just as bad when it comes to national sovereignty of its allies.

For many western countries, America doesn't need to very trustworthy or reliable; the bar is "better than trusting Russia or China", and that's a pretty damn low bar to set. Many of these countries are no better themselves, of course, and they would do the exact same thing if they'd have the power and influence the American government has.
CoLab: Do actual dev projects with PMs and Designers
Not sure why this is being downvoted. It’s all accurate.

I saw it as Microsoft's signalling that they care more about being in the good graces of the wider developer community than about dominating the programming editor/IDE market. After all VSCode is free. I'd argue that giving away VSCode, LSP, Monaco (the base editor) and so on has been a successful means of redeeming their brand in the eyes of developers and really anyone who ever touches code. That could backfire if they took on an aggressively competitive stance. Letting LSP play nicely with other editors seems therefore good business for them. It also appears that as a profitable business, money Microsoft spends on VSCode might otherwise be spent as taxes?
I agree with that. Project with vague names like “improve speed” or “make it look beautiful” can go on forever! It’s better they are broken into incremental projects “use bootstrap theme” which can be considered done and then if there is an opportunity to decide to stop working on this kind of work and switch to something else.

With software you are never done so you have to decide to be done!

Amy way you can link to that conversation? I tried to find it on Google.
One strategy is to listen/comprehend the criticism, but then immediately file it away as information. Do not take it to heart, do not implement immediate change.

If you start to see corroborating evidence through introspection or similar feedback from multiple sources, then start really paying attention. Change if appropriate.

In the workplace, I’ve received criticism for purely political reasons - and these are criticisms I’ll happily rebuff. But as long as it was delivered in good faith, establish a simple system to collect, observe, prioritize.

Bringing a more structured/scientific approach also helps reduce some of the sting that comes with that criticism.

If we're just spitballing thoughts, I'd like something that's kind of the opposite of zen mode. I don't always want signatures and completions and things binging and bopping and showing me suggestions--if I'm working on a codebase and language I'm fluent in then all of that gets turned off. But if I have to pick up some under-documented massive codebase where everyone just uses VS code/intellisense--I'm going to need all the suggestions.

So IMHO I'd love effectively a dial, perhaps the 'distractions' dial. It's not a binary on/off, it's a spectrum. It could be off--nothing at all distracts me (zen mode basically). It might be on a little bit--perhaps just showing current stuff LSP does by default, errors, etc. And it might get cranked up to max--every keystroke throwing more information at me about what's happening, what am I editing, what's related to it, etc. During an editing session I might move inbetween each level on the distraction dial many times. Kind of like zooming in and out as you're editing a photo.

>when he went spouting conspiracy theories abuot Seth Rich.

I have noticed that the people who support Assange never want to talk about how Assange implied that Seth Rich was a Wikileaks source which resulted in repeated harassment of the family of a murder victim. Assange knew Rich wasn't the source of the DNC leaks because Assange was still in contact with the source after Rich was murdered. There is no journalistic justification for that behavior.

At least all the insurance I’ve had will pay using some formula like “we will cover 80% (instead of 90%) of charges up to the allowed amount (what an in-network would receive”.

The issue is that many providers balance bill, so everything above that is billed to the patient and since some negotiated rates are 50% or less of charges, the patient can own more than the insurance.

Basically insurance and providers fuck over the patients together.
Hey everyone, i'm Sefunmi, one of the Co-founders of Co.Lab. We started it because we had our own fair share of struggles while breaking into the tech industry. Ultimately we overcame those by building projects and showing hiring managers that we were capable. We have since developed our program to allow folks to ship a real MVP to customers in 8 weeks.

Check out some of the projects our past students have built.

Agreed. It took me half a day and I came not remotely to the UX and performance of coc.vim. Most incl. the nvim team are not aware that eg. tsserver is the fastest and most responsive code formatter for TS (yes, it goes beyond the LSP spec but that's how it is, also for historical reasons). Prettier does not come close.

Maybe they've never tried or deliberately ignore coc.vim for whatever reason. coc.vim works almost out of the box, has the fastest and most pragmatic maintainer who helps anyone and tsserver makes it as good and as fast as VS Code. Instead of just cloning coc.vim's tsserver implementation—or why do they no contribute to coc.vim??—roll their own inferior solution, years later. It's not that nvim's LSP implementation is at its beginning and we can expect more is coming, no the maintainers just do not know or ignore the status quo. Feels very much like Bram a decade ago.

Maybe it's time that we see a third fork—coc.vim.

It also doesn't mean anyone will actually support it. I have plenty of devices which you can flash your own OS on but eventually the hobby community gets bored and no one is left supporting it.

You also have the problem of getting every user of the product to flash some custom OS on their hard drive when they likely don't know how or don't know why they should care.
thanks Trump.
Sorry, you are not making any point or any sense. I understand you have an axe to grind, but in the very least you should be able to present any case whatsoever to defend your position based on tangible facts and real-world evidence.

If you have neither of that to present and feel compelled to hand-waive your way out of answering simple questions them that should be enough to make you reconsider what you are really doing and what problems you need to address.

>I think it's fair to say that US Politics is framed as a binary choice (regardless of how you justify it) because that's the party system that is in place...along with the common winner-takes-all systems.

That's an excellent point. No third party has come anywhere close to the major levers of power in more than 150 years.

And first-past-the-post elections certainly contribute to that.

But that's orthogonal to my point. GP said:

"Americans have been trained to have a strictly binary, categorical view of issues instead of looking at each issue as something with its own set of properties to explore."

Note that GP doesn't address parties or elections. Rather they claim that Americans have a "binary, categorical view of issues."

That's to what I took exception. Many Americans have nuanced views of a variety of issues.

That said, the reality is that neither major party platform supports all the good ideas from across the ideological spectrum.

But, as you correctly pointed out, most people pick the party that they think gives them more of what they think is right.

That doesn't mean every (R || D) voter supports every (R || D) position. Nor does it mean that every (R || D) voter blindly accepts the talking points of their selected party.

Yes. There absolutely are voters who just vote their party without giving a thought to the policies advocated by that party. Sometimes because they're one-issue voters, sometimes because they, their extended families and communities have voted that way for generations, sometimes because they're too intellectually lazy to understand the issues and take the easy way out.

But to ascribe the above to all Americans (whether they voted or not -- GP talked about issues, not votes) is equally intellectually lazy.

I am strictly opposed to animal cruelty. Killing animals at all is a net negative for me. However, it’s not my primary concern and I also don’t think the marginal improvement veganism provides animals is significant.

> and biosphere destroying

This is mostly bullshit.

> (factory farming)

I am opposed to the most abysmal methods of meat production.

> if you don't need their products to survive.

I need them to be healthy. Vegans can object all they want but the truth is right there for me to see. Whenever a scrawny balding vegan with sunken eyes tells me they’re perfectly healthy, I know they’re deluded and not giving me good advice.

> Game Changers just shows you can thrive at an athletic level on a plant based diet.

It’s a few cherry picked examples. In reality going vegan will tank your athletic performance and injury resistance. https://www.lonesomelands.com/new-blog/2019/9/16/t2amoscp1u1...

> We humans gave up other horrific practices from the past - so the future is vegan (reduced cruelty)

I actually agree with you on this. People in the future will view animal consumption like we view slavery.

> but we don't have to wait - we can start now.

Unfortunately this is not true, if we want to stay healthy. Give it 100 years and maybe the tech will be where it needs to be.
I'd love to love neovim, but is seems there's not a easy way to install a "self contained subset". For some langs it misses some "OS" dependencies, resulting in sluggishness and annoying errors all over the place, when I just want to open a file from the terminal or in a non-IDE.

If someone knows a way to install a version of neovim that does not need OS deps...

Nextcloud on a linux system is your best bet. And its a huge pain. You essentially have to learn devops and regularly check in to see everything is running correct. And then one mistake and your data is at risk. You also have to manage backups somehow which you want to be not on the same machine.

This oversimplifies but there is some truth to it too.

I am mentoring two junior devs at the moment, one at work and one friend. In some ways I really miss & envy the happiness they feel when we get something to work. One of them finally got a D3 chart to render correctly and got up from his chair and started whooping and throwing his fists in the air - I was grinning from ear to ear.

But then I realized the flip side of this - every time we run new code and it produces an error, I hear “AUGh what the FUCK?!! D:”

I have been at this for ~15 years. I see a new error, I feel nothing. Better that way. But I still take a minute to crack a smile when I get something working for the first time :)

I never quite understood why these ransom-ware attackers restrict themselves to a small subset of the MSP's clients. E.g.: The SolarWinds attack affected only something like 1% of their customers, when it could easily have been 50% or more!

If you're evil and out for money, wouldn't you want to cast the widest net possible? Similarly, by encrypting a huge number of corporations concurrently, you'd "exhaust" the ability of a country to respond. There's only so many recovery specialists and IT contractors available to respond in an emergency. Encrypt only a few hundred targets and they can all recover. But if you encrypt a few hundred thousand, then there wouldn't be enough warm bodies available!

Thinking about it, I wonder if these attackers have set up permanent operations, with staff, payroll, and everything. Maybe they just to fly under the radar and collect a nice steady income instead of a risky but potentially huge one-time payoff...

I was thinking about this more.
If Amazon would shift from "Own your own business by running our delivery service for us!" to "Contract with amazon and provide fleet management services to our dynamic orthogonal growth paradigm with geometric returns!" this could be much more fairly and safely organized.

Amazon could do whatever corporation thing they have to do to spin up a new business unit (to avoid this is probably why they are doing it in this honestly scam-ey way...but hey) and take on the payroll, benefits, training, compliance and overall insurance risk. Then, they can organize these "Logistics Companies" into something that looks more like a property management firm.

1) They need to create a national fleet account to charge and manage the vehicles services

2) They need to run the payroll and sign the check for their driver employees and warehouse logistics people

3) Create a property management agreement and designate a sort of foreman for the warehouse distribution operations. The existing Amazon delivery partners are well positioned to do this.

4) Make clear the relationship and own the vehicles. If they do not want to own the vehicles, they can make the "Logistics Companies" be like an Enterprise or Hertz self-branded fleet company.

5) Engage in a dispatch and planning program, and surely delegate this role from Amazon to the local logistics outfit.

This will afford a lot of flexibility and take the burden off of Amazon of managing the dynamic local environments that they clearly don't want to touch.

The fact that they don't do this leads me to believe that they really just want a bag man to take the blame when some old lady take an Amazon smile to the side of her walker and splatters on the pavement.

Sorry for the grim ending. I really, really worry that the captain of the ship is some kind of overheating GPU in us-west.amazon.com or something worse, like an Iridium-connected Alexa skill in the ceiling fan of the ship head on "The Flying Fox".

Was more about the wider point than bitching about economist: RSS readers are in a uniquely vulnerable position. There is damn near zero incentive to do this right from providers PoV - if anything the opposite. If you're trying to consume news/info better that seems like a bad starting point to me...even with superior tools.

I've got a self-hosted freshrss install floating around on my home server...so might give it another try at some point. Not massively optimistic given the dynamics though. Everything is about dark patterns these days, not open ad free convenient hard to monetize stuff like RSS.
Copilot is indeed constantly learning based on user input (as detailed here [1]) but it seems to be more high-level ("did the user accept or deny suggestion XYZ" and potentially what changes you make to suggestions after accepting) versus just dumping everything directly back into the model a la Tay.

The false "witness" alleging Assange hacked, "Siggi the Hacker" was a pedophile, con-man and thief, not Assange. That guy is Icelandic, while Assange is Australian.

As for rape charge, you fell prey to propaganda. There was no "condom stealthing" accusation, full stop. There was no rape accusation, full stop. It is all a proven lie, fabricated by the police and prosecutor, which were caught red-handed later on, and documented in a subsequent judicial procedure.

Here's my own TLDR here to somebody else a couple days ago [3]. If you got 20 minute, I suggest the full, sordid story, as told in excruciating detail by the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture. He gave a long form interview giving all the details of the fabrication, showing the documents, outlining all of lies and judicial misdeeds of both Sweden and the UK [4].
