I really appreciate that you are not taking this issue as an ethical binary (100% vegan or "I could never do that"), but instead treating it as a spectrum on which our various competing values play out, with various costs and benefits. I wish our collective conversations about this took your tone more often.
That doesn't apply to the stunning rise in prosperity in India and China more recently, though.

Different media have different affordances and cultures.

I happen to think:

email is for discussion with people, and occasionally for notifications/reminders

chat systems are for talking in near-realtime

Usenet is for long slow public conversations

forums are like Usenet but worse for reading

RSS is for reading periodic content - comics, newspaper articles, magazine articles, columns, blogs

Newsletters are clearly periodic content, so RSS is the way.
0.8*1.2 = 0.96, so that's a net 4% decrease in deaths :)
I've found a much simpler metric.

You should ask for your market salary plus equity. The market salary removes the risk of opportunity cost, and the equity protects against the risk that the company could shut down in a year.

Any company that isn't willing to invest in its core product with market salaries had better have a very well thought out reason for doing so, and I haven't encountered that reason yet.

That said, the thread is useful for evaluating a startup from an investor or an early employee (who is also an investor)POV.

The elektrek article is misleading. It is quite possible that Tesla will simply arrange that the station include third party chargers. Norway is not requiring Tesla to open the network to other brands; it is simply the case that local authorities who want to improve access to chargers will only provide financial incentives if this results in increased access for all users.
"The people pay for the newest version, and the newest version fixes the vulnerability." -- Mitch McConnell
"...treating them like tools or exploitable resources."

Everything is a resource regardless of whether it is exploited. The person saying empathy comes from having exposure to pets is in essence saying pets are a resource to cultivate empathy and should be exploited as such. The issue is resource constraints. Pets consume a lot of argicultural and pharmaceutical resources.

You talk of love and empathy being unconditional, but when you live in a resource constrained world, should we spend money creating, housing, and feeding pets? Or should we care for the vulnerable humans? Should we stop keeping pets so that we don't need the agriculture that is required to support them, thus feeding people or allowing the land to return to the natural world and it's native animals?

Resources are a part of the equation. It seems many people ignore the n-order impacts. It's the same as people buying their processed food or meat without ever seeing the source and process. Probably even more so with kibble since it doesn't look like food to us.
Bundling in a bunch of plugins[1] feels semi-cheating for shipping a new release, but I'm ok with it. I do get a bit of a monolithization vibe, and it kind of scares me to think that neovim might get stuck with some ever-ossifying codebases it shouldn't have pulled in, but overall I think the gains of building a more rich, integrated, baseline editing environment probably justifies the damage of consolidation/picking one.

Weird comparison to draw, but like systemd comes to mind. I love systemd so much. It's many different utilities all have a pretty consistent way to be operated & they're all optional & independent, so it's really more of a mono-repo. My warning hazards have never gone off on systemd: the init system is radically better, building a suite of tools using the same design system makes it so much of a joy; there's consistent powerful strategies I can deploy when working with any of the systemd monorepo daemons.

By compare neovim intuitively feels a little more integrative to me, more monolithic rather than being so strongly mono-repo'ish. Neovim scripts will emerge hooking into, extending, embracing these new integrated plugins, the community will continue to interweave themselves with these features. Trying to change things latter will be harder than it would be with systemd, there's more of a Big Ball Of Mud[2] fear here for me. My concern is probably about ~0.2 on the unit scale, and my ok'ness is probably ~0.6, some in between neutrality, so I'm not trying to say this is bad oh no. But I think there's some value to the comparison.

Anyhow. Language Server Protocol is the shit. It's the primary channel for how we turn text-editors into Integrated Development Environments. Taking nvmim-lsp & integrating it is a huge step for this project.

There's also some new hooks for Lua to work with, which promises ever better scripting: that seems like the one core enhancement to Neovim proper in 0.5.0.

Hold up. Is everyone talking about this thing as if they're going to use it on proprietary code?

I only ever pictured using it on open source stuff if it turned up decent

If folks are looking at this thing like "that's going right on my work PC" I would highly recommend reviewing your IT usage policy first. Yikes.
That isn't the issue. The issue is that these records are not computerized to begin with, THAT is why you can't trust.

You're looking at the wrong end of the problem. Taiwan has a centralized digital receipt standard and apparently had it for years. Lot's of people still like paper, but in general that digital receipt is easy to check. Germany on the other hand rolled out standardized tamper proof paper receipts. So of course you have audit paper records when the source of the information is paper.

If you've ever wanted to send or receive money from friends/family, you've probably heard of Venmo. Venmo is a PayPal subsidiary and mobile app that is mostly known for helping you split a restaurant bill with your friends or send money to family. We're rapidly growing and expanding into new areas such as crypto and helping businesses accept contact-less payments in stores.

We have a lot of roles open, from infrastructure which I'm a part of, to Android/iOS, and data engineering.

Take a look at what we have open: https://grnh.se/98b3daa51us
The video is pretty interesting, it looks like the nobody account was not meant as a backdoor, but the secret api is just doing authentication, without authorization. Couple that with having the api using the Linux auth and you have a problem. ...I wonder if it's doing pam or just reading the shadow file direcly, doesn't really matter

When I first read there was a backdoor account I thought it would be one that was on purpose. At an old job about 15 years ago we used network equipment that had a vendor backdoor built in. Only reason we knew it existed was one of our engineers had recorded a remote session with the vendor's support team. The account gave you full admin access and didn't even show up as another logged in user. It was disturbing to say the least.

That's true for new installs at least. But Android won't let you install an update to an existing app with a different signing key, it'll error out with something generic.
I am ashamed to say that initially I didn't engage seriously with their reasons, perhaps because I knew it would require behavioural change on my part, which at that time I was unwilling to consider making.
It also has the effect of pushing as many people into the +buckets as possible, making it so all marginal cases are included.

This could be a modern incarnation of the 'one drop' rule, thinking that if you're part minority, that is still the most important part of your makeup. Or, more likely, it's to inflate numbers as much as possible for PR.
For those out there trying to "learn" vim, give neovim 0.5 a try!

I've been using neovim HEAD (0.5 pre-release) for a while and it has been awesome. It all started with this config [0] and from there and haven't tried (as before) to join a vim cult but instead to use it as a tool that works for me (i.e. use mouse scroll to browse around, use arrows on insert mode, and other vim sins)

Little by little I've been looking at how I could do something a little better and pretty much every time vim has an awesome way for me to do something! Yanked some text then deleted something but I want to paste the yanked text, not the deleted one? "0p is the answer. Need to replace all ___ but not modify the prefixed numbers? I can use visual regex to easily work that out! I'm doing something over and over? I can make that into a macro! There's a macro that I always use on certain file types? I can make an autocmd to load some string to some macro when I open certain file.

It'a awesome feeling that time I've actually learning about registers, macros, regex, windows, buffers, and everything else in a modern and snappy tool!

You can simplify but it’s still unclear if the U^2 term you derived was supposed to be U^1 (before the simplification, I.e. you did an extra multiplication). It just makes bare type checking slightly more ambiguous.
Yet practically all pet owners use and exploit their pets emotionally. The term "pet loves you unconditionally" used as an argument for pets is revealing: They are mostly kept to give the owner a feeling of being loved, which is much harder to get from other human beings. Ideally suited for increasingly narcissist population. Second, they are used to virtue signal, to increase social capital. The saying goes, if you cared for pets, you would be a good person, and in reverse, if you did not like pets, you would be a bad person. This is obviously wholly unsubstantiated, and there are numerous counterexamples. This is true even more for "rescues", which makes the owners feel like saviors.
And as usual, because many people have incorporated the meme of pet ownership so deeply into their identity, they cannot argue about this rationally.
>Photography was initially derided as "not art" or "machines replacing human artists" too. It was neither. It was just a new way to make pictures that spawned new art forms.

This is one thing about progress and art, that I have found really interesting.

Like, how the invention of photography completely changed painting.

Ultra-realism became uninteresting over night, as soon as it was possible to create perfect depictions via cameras.

Painting, as an art form, didn't "die". Painters weren't replaced by machines.

Instead, artist's interpretation became more important, than their technical ability to reproduce reality.

We've since seen impressionism, expressionism, and more abstract movements like cubism.

The invention of photography ended up being a gift to art.

And now we see artists embracing digital artworks as their medium of expression.

So, I guess the fear of AI and machine learning being the end of art as we know it, might very well be unfounded.

It looks to me, more as the possible birthplace of new modes of expression. A reason for artists to rethink their art.
> The issue with CRT is that every other theory and research of this subject (eg. IQ differences) has been shut down or obscured due to allegations of racism or fear of how the society would react to such knowledge

No, it hasn't.

Not even your specific example (racial IQ dofferences), on which there continues to be new work published (both on the differences and on influences, both genetic and environmental.)

So if “the issue” with CRT is just this thing that is neither true nor about CRT, then that’s pretty much the same as there being, in fact, no issue with CRT.

Balanced full stack product engineer. Very good at both web apps, mobile apps, APIs, Postgres, Linux, mentorship, and communication in general. Touch typist, VIM ninja, refactoring monster. With an academic background of philosophy (!)

Mostly startup oriented, developed a lot of projects for different teams and industries (finance, digital marketing, automation, online education, e-commerce).

My specialty is to build simple systems with few moving parts that contain as little accidental complexity as possible. I'm pragmatic but always chase proper implementations at the same time. (See resume for more)

Lately into blockchain (although not an evangelist) and fintech. But open to any kind of projects.

Always looking for interesting & challenging projects and smart people. Open to contract / project-based work & consultancy. Prefer short term work. But I may consider to be a technical co-founder as well, depending on the project.

> That some scientists accurately predicted climate change long ago is obvious. Some of them also predicted an ice age. Now, with hindsight, we know who was right.

That's not a very accurate representation of what was going on. The ones predicting cooling agreed with the ones predicting warming on the effect increasing greenhouse gases would have (warming).

The difference was that the ones predicting cooling assumed that the growth in particulate matter pollution would continue to outpace the growth in greenhouse gases, and so the cooling effect from particulates would be stronger than the warming effect from the greenhouse gases.

Starting around the '70s much of the world made a major effort to get particulates under control and the particulates levels went way down.
This has been my experience as well. There are usually 6-8 men on the panel interviewing me. Most of the interviewers are completely normal and fair, but in almost every interview there are 1-2 men who seem to be trying to figure out what fraud I am pulling.

Production can push as many backups as it wants, it shouldn’t be able to overwrite the previous backups. Deletion and expiry has to happen separately. There’s no reason for it to even be able to list the backups and that restriction combined with a randomized backup ID (in addition to any date/time tagging) limits the ability to corrupt the backups.

It's good you wrote this up to bring attention to this, but did you really have to torment the CSR by saying you'd go to social media about it as some kind of bargaining chip? You're right it's not on them, it's on the company. But that CSR is probably going to be thinking about this for the rest of the week, fearing that he'll be out of a job soon for something out of his control and be unable to pay the bills and stuff.

> The main exception was Jan 6, which we've been taught to believe is apparently worse than the civil war.

Taught? We don't need anyone to teach what happened, it was on national television. We have perfectly good eyes and ears.

The only teaching necessary is some history: even in the darkest hours of the civil war, the enemies of the Constitution never managed to sack the US capitol.
If it's exactly what I want, then I'd be ok. It's just that, that never happened to me. The closest I came was, I was checking a regex and realized I missed some cases, so I copy pasted the regex string from SO. I can't imagine a scenario where a >1 line code in SO can be exactly what my codebase requires. Regardless, my methodology isn't going to SO to find code, I go to SO to read the answers, understand then write code. I never thought when people talk about "copy paste from SO" they literally mean like copy someone's code and paste it to your text editor.

You're misinformed.

AFAIK, serology/antibody testing is useless to determine whether a COVID vaccine worked, because the vaccine makes antibodies that react to the spike protein, but the serologic test looks for the regular antibodies that you get after an infection.

Two different things.

For other vaccines, serologic tests can indeed make sense.

> Doesn't leaking information that exposes flaws of a country make it more resilient in the future against bigger attacks?

Not necessarily, obviously. For instance: if someone leaks information to an enemy about a fatal flaw in their nation's military equipment, and the enemy nation attacks and exploits that flaw to victory; all the leak did was make their country weaker and more vulnerable.

I'm not aware of any improvements in the resiliency of the US in response to Assange's leaks, except that the Democratic party has better opsec now (e.g. uses 2FA and has anti-phishing drills). They may have locked down their secret-level networks in response to Manning's activities, but that could arguably make the US less resilient.

I think it's a regional thing. Veganism spread out from a few "cultural centers" [1] where there was already a critical density of restaurants and shops catering to vegan diets. In places that just got their first local vegan option when fast food adopted Beyond/Impossible, it's still a joke. Other places that are getting their third vegan restaurant have normalized it and veganism has lost any comedic novelty. Chain and family restaurant empires spread out geographically to make use of economies of scale in logistics so there's a natural rate at which this transformation happens.

[1] not culture in general but places that already had lots of vegans

‘Does a falling tree in the forest make a sound when there is no one to hear?’ Which says something about the nature of philosophers, because there is always someone in the forest.

This was only after we were getting stonewalled and he was saying he wasn't allowed to escalate us.

In particular, fast approximate inverse square root is an x86 instruction, and not a super new one. I'd be surprised if it wasn't in every major instruction set.
