" The difference is that conservative nationalism can’t get that type of foothold in Western Europe and the mistake was to include countries in the EU that even had a risk of having a nationalist majority"

Does spain is included in your non-nationalistic western europe? A state where old fascist are still in charge in justice, police and army? Who cheeringly cracked down on catalonia who dared to organize a referendum on independence?

Or, well france. Who declared as a first move of presidency of EU to make french the standard working language of the EU?

Nationalism isn't restricted to eastern europe.
I'm a web developer with an incurable neuro-visual disorder, which I soon discovered prevented me from doing UI stuff competently so I got into backend early on. No need to leave web development altogether if you don't want to, there's room to change your focus away from the UI side of things.

Most of my current role is writing server-side software for web applications as well as dealing with some of the operational and database side of things too (small company; many hats!). I can't imagine the motivations for getting into UI stuff are exactly the same as getting into server-side stuff but personally I really like what I do.

Average is always sum/n?
At least now we have a list of companies not to be ashamed of: https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies/ There are big names and big players. Now to see one pushing CL is another topic.
Yes, perhaps not very rare but still rare enough that I feel unlucky :(
Using more resources than average also comes into play when using less performance (but rapid to develop with) technologies.

Best practices are a funny thing, understanding where they come from and who they were intended for an go a long way in having a better context.
It seems like they have fixed it. The tool now downloads music from IPFS. The developer apparently used the public API a while ago to mirror all the music to IPFS.
I heard from companies using ZFS, that suddenly see a massive increase in disk space usage... A results from copy-on-write for all the new encrypted files. Then they restored to a snapshot before the encryption started and were able to resume business (after a purge and decoupling of all suspicious machines).

Could it be that simple? Sure snapshots are not backups, but this is not a hardware failure.

In my home situation I do a periodic rsync over ssh to a Pi3 at my parents place. It's super simple but I can just browse the sshfs to check if stuff is there and working. And when I need it, I drive there and get the disk itself. Sure, this is not relevant for a large business, but for us self-hosters it is a nice solution. The backup is manual, by choice, so I never overwrites accidentally.
I agree that people skills change over time, which is why I, as a driver, am in favor that every driver should retake the driving exam and a health exam every 2 years.

I am also in favor of enforcing this for all foreign drivers going through my country somehow, since most of them don’t really know how to drive here.
Yes, D's approach is a lot more general than mine. However, I believe that this is a case where 10% of effort unlocks 80% of value.
Floriography (Language of Flowers)
It does look crappy, IMHO. It feels like a 2000's trend that was cute (pun intended) but nowadays it's been 20 years and now looks out of date.

Probably it's just me, though: at that time I was working at a company with a name starting by V. The product name itself also started by V. We used the C++ Qt framework, where every class starts with Q. So the lead devs picked up the trend and all our classes' names also started with V. Basically everything was named as something following the same letter.
I don't want to dismiss your personal experience, this is just a general comment. "a loving, pretty privileged family" is not uncompatible with "childhood trauma".

> "Orbán is a cancer on Europe"

Orbán too little "woke" ?
One would say "EU is a cancer for european nations and people", I strongly think that this techno-totalitarist institution is on the brink of total collapse. Brexit first, Hungary, Poland, I sure hope France is next with our "startup nation" CEO.

French people voted NO to EU in 2005, it was forced upon us. You may argue as much as you want EU and its supra-national institutions are not a democratic process.

If EU was good for Europe, US would not have set it up back in the days. Everything is about power. Before it was power of nations, now it is obviously power from a selected few over the mass, supra-national oligarchy.
I watched their video but came out pretty confused as it seemed a bit too beyond my tech skills:

They use AlexNet, which is way out of date at this point and I believe understood to be parameter inefficient. Most of those model parameters are likely useless, and at least less useful than those of other newer models. The model they chose is basically zero-padded and they are appending to the zero-d region.

Also, the newest JPEG standard is nearly Turing complete, so you can possibly compress the data into a program which is the same size as the Kolmogorov complexity of the data.
An additional problem is the lack of language bindings/implementations. There is no fully-fledged implementation apart from the Go one, which makes getting many developers onboard a challenge.
"If a $2m ransomware attack hits your organization every 5 years"

The question is - how do you know that it is going to hit you every 5 years?

This isn't a completely random event. If you build up a reputation of being a soft target, other hackers will try to dip their beaks, too. And there is a lot of them out there.

Paying even one Danegeld attracts more Vikings to your shore.
useless. they suggested no means to execute the malware - once it is extracted the antivirus WILL detect the unmodified malware. you'd be better off zipping with password or even simple XOR over the data would "evade" detection... until you run it raw.
Thanks, I will look into that brand. The one I use now is from the UK. They're fairly comfortable but the issue comes from dryness mostly.
We can circle back to the psycho analysis later if you so desire, but I'll be sticking to the topic at hand for the time being.

You seem to have made a connection between nationalism and being furious about other people. I respectfully disagree that there is a necessary relationship there.

I have no ill will against other people. I would like people who share my culture to govern me, and I would not like people of my culture governing people of a different culture. They can govern themselves and we can govern ourselves. We can share ideas, trade, sport, etc., But multiculturalism within borders is an inevitable failure and globalism is an inevitable failure
For someone who doesn't use KDE on my main distro it's great. It's a giveaway that I probably shouldn't apt-get that program. (Not that I have anything against KDE software, just the idea of installing it on non-KDE environments)
I think all regulatory regimes that have any chance of addressing this would require government support. Perhaps something like requiring any model to first go alone to identify herself to the police or other authority and certify her age. This would provide an opportunity to escape a captor. Perhaps this would be an annual thing.

But the proper incentives would need to be in place. She'd need to be allowed to stay in country if she is a foreign victim of trafficking, for example. We would want to prevent this from becoming some type of guild where incumbents can keep out new competition. And the police would need to be supportive in this process (i.e. promptly inform OF of models' eligibility, and otherwise participate in the process in good faith). It's hard to see that happening in, e.g., the United States.

I’m extrapolating this advanced hunch from the fact that cannabis-related studies have for a long time been funded primarily by the century-old anti-cannabis lobby. The relatively young pro-cannabis lobby has much less prestige, money and power behind it, and thus the incentives to intentionally produce bunk science lay mostly on the anti-cannabis side.

Then there’s the matter of public perception: even obvious falsehoods against cannabis are tolerated in the press when the source is ”scientists”. This is likely due to the falsehoods being in support of opinions entrenched by decades of similar falsehoods being passed as shocking truths. Obviously, pro-cannabis publications suffer the reverse: any falsehoods would get picked apart by the public; hell, even the truths regarding cannabis often get trainwrecked by people who just know better because someone told them a story.

It is absolutely implausible that falsified pro-cannabis articles would outnumber falsified anti-cannabis articles. The monetary incentives and intellectual lenience are not there.
The API Churn/Security Trade-Off
Oh, I would argue that it is a marketable asset. Depends on your prospective employer.

In e.g. Austria regional or communal government, or agencies working with them, would gladly pick you up, give you a protected workplace and enlist you to help make all the e-government sites and processes more accessible.

I'm not simply claiming this. I used to work with a 100% blind developer, that had a degree from Uni Innsbruck in either Computer Science or Mathematics, I don't remember really. I could not understand how he managed to get a degree (in the 80ies or 90ies nonetheless), but even if he needed special tools, he was a very important asset in the whole e-government push, especially because he was apparently a very valuable software developer, albeit his challenges.

> Another application are macros around for loops, like FOREACH_FOO(...) or SCOPED_LOCK(...) for example.

This is the exact case where full macros can deliver a lot more power, more cleanly, than preprocessor macros. In this case, in Neat, you'd probably use a full parser macro rather than a call macro, and you could recognize arbitrary syntax, without allowing you to violate parenthesis order like C does.

Your macro can do whatever it wants, but it cannot conflict with other, preexisting syntax, such as (in C) defining half a loop or half a variable declaration. This way, it can fully own its syntax.

> Expecting code to be so clean, always from the beginning, that all macros one would need ever can always be defined by syntactically complete expression bodys, that is not going to work.

Correct, however the example syntax was a simplification of macros. Fundamentally, there's no reason a macro shouldn't be able to do anything that the compiler itself can do.

Of course it works with pointer + length, the whole point of hardware memory tagging is that is a proven failure with 50 years of examples, that leaving to C developers the task to manually prove pointer + length are valid, just doesn't work regardless of what is being sold as story.

So lots of money is being burned to ensure that C code is caged and does no harm, in scenarios where C is to still be used.

Yea I understand that a lot of hiring is based on formalism rather than ability. It's why I try to get my resume in front of devs or technical people higher up in a company.

I will add a personal statement, what you've said makes sense. Perhaps then it doesn't make much sense to apply through job portals unless they are also looking for someone with chemistry knowledge? I'm wondering if my time can be spent in a wiser manner. I've done a lot of LinkedIn messaging through adding connections, but I should probably just get premium for direct messages at this point...
> but according to some media reports the vehicles are equipped with autonomous weapons systems and other "high-tech surprises" that allow them to independently engage and repel attackers even if all human crew have been killed or disabled

For some reason I'm imagining the scene from one of the F&F movies where the side panels of a bus pull up and a bunch of revolver cannons come out. In reality it's probably more something like ejectors for smoke screens, grenade launchers for concussion/flash grenades, stuff like that since the line says "independently engage and repel attackers" not "everything with a heat signature within X meters will be mowed down by autonomous gunfire".
Necessarily, projects which protect free speech will attract those with objectionable views because they're the audience. In the west, that may be white supremacists. In China, it may be people the west would be more sympathetic towards.

IMO the way to proceed there is not to throw the baby out with the bathwater but to fork (the community, the tech, whatever) and contribute to the shared vision of freedom while excluding any objectionable parts from the fork.

Fitness App Gamification in 2021: A Trend You Cannot Miss

That’s similar to my feeling too. I’m sure the technology is neat, but it seems very esoteric and hard to get started with.
but its REPL is slow and not as interactive.
You're right. The numbers are too small to be plausible. I read on Scott Alexander's blog about 5-HTTLPR that in genetics they can get very low P values relative to most life sciences, but 10^-40 indeed seems far too low for any plausible experiment. I guess even in particle physics they don't go that low.
I'm not saying people should casually use psychedelics without any knowledge of them, especially not at 16 and especially not in a basement. I researched the safety of it and the general effects (during/after the trip) to make sure I'd be physically able to go through it. Once I learned there was virtually no risks for the dose I "knew" I was in a good mental state to have the experience.

It has to be something you want to try (not something your friends semi forced you to join), you have to be aware it can be unpleasant, and you have to do it in a safe place (both mentally and physically), given that not much can go seriously wrong.

My first time was 200ug of lsd in the middle of a desert at night by myself, I had the idea after reading 1/4th of a book from Alan Watts, the way he talked about psychedelics made me curious and I didn't want to be too influenced by his experiences/descriptions which made me decide to stop reading and try it out.

It was my best trip, I gave up and replicating the experience after 4 or 5 times (over 3 or 4 years) and I stopped thinking about psychedelics since then.

Since then I learned two things:

- I'm much prefer tripping alone than with people, especially if the people I trip with aren't very long term/close friends I 200% trust on everything.

- Tripping inside isn't particularly enjoyable, I can't imagine tripping in a basement. I vividly remember feeling claustrophobic during my first trip, and that was in the middle of a desert probably 50km away from any man made structure
> the governments colluding in all that

What possible incentive do governments worldwide have to actively prevent child healthcare? Even a cold-hearted monster who only cares about money has an economic incentive for the population generally to not die of easily preventable causes before retirement, and would know that letting them die before they enter the workforce is literally the most wasteful option. And almost nobody is that heartless about children.
Right now, certain media outlets have been promoting a "debate about sex work". As usual, this is meant to shutdown any productive debate on the subject. You seem to start with a preconceived notion that "sex work" is harmful and people need to be prevented/protected from engaging in it. As with any aspect of our society, there are too many feedback loops involved here for anyone to have an opinion which is not based on anecdotes and propaganda, except the sex workers themselves (maybe!)

So let's discuss the general case instead.

Stigma and ostracism are very ancient tools for ensuring compliance within a social group by threatening members with social exclusion; however, quicker/earlier stigma prevents non-conformity earlier, but it also locks people out "on the outside" quicker/earlier. Stigma is also easy to abuse - it's the perfect excuse for hurting someone who you see as "less than human" due to their stigma, and then blaming them for it.

If you're betting on a civilization collapse scenario where in-group cohesion is the decisive factor for survival, it would be rational for you to uphold stigmatization of any behavior that diverges from the established rituals of your in-group. Our present civilization, however, has decided that social exclusion is harmful in the general case, and (quite haphazardly) is trying to remedy _that_.

As our systems become stable enough to support people safely "going further" with their diverse, even mutually incompatible lifestyle choices, the logical conclusion would be to eradicate stigma and replace it with a more humane way of nudging people away from potentially harmful actions.
I understand why it's convenient to derive the UI from the state, no need to explain that.

But what react does is: for any change in state it creates the entire virtual DOM" regardless of if there was a single checkbox change and everything else remained the same. Then it compares this whole tree* to the real DOM, and then only replaces the parts that changed. The "win" of react is that instead of rendering the entire real DOM again and again it just renders something that is not seen and then swaps out the changed parts in the real DOM.

Why not short-circuit from changes in state to real DOM instead?

I think any google sheet like app would do: you type into some box, this changes state which triggers the creation of the virtual DOM for the entire sheet. Then it compares this entire sheet to the real DOM, finds that only one cell has changed and swaps that out. There will be one entire virtual DOM per character typed. Which is why I'd presume most if not all such applications need to add custom code (using `shouldComponentUpdate`) to fix this scaling issue.

I have a Pinephone, briefly tried KDE as I bought the KDE edition. It is a pretty design but what made me change from it is not detecting external display. Also I was not a fan of the "package manager" it was using. Arguable that's the OS (might have been Manjaro).

I ended up going with Mobian and Phosh. I even installed ARM VS code on it but it was so slow like 5 second lag per click.

Anyway problem right now is the modem doesn't detect my TMobile micro sim card. I don't know why, it worked before. The battery also dies too fast even in airplane mode sitting on my desk. And then of course the lack of apps and the Phosh UI is not that great imo, I don't know why they went with the design of the vertical split when finding apps. Maybe they can't match the gestures and what not that Android/iOS has.

Still it's neat, motivation to learn C++/GTK when I have the time.

As far as your actual question there are a couple of people on Reddit that are using it as a daily driver. [1] this is a little old though.

As for why VS Code my fantasy is the Samsung Dex idea however I'm not going to drop $2K on a flagship cellphone. The Pinephone is not that strong but I was looking to get a Qemu VM running on it that would neat.
