There was not much testing of cannabis in the 60s and 70s, so we can only speculate about how potent it was back then.
>A counter point of view is that an unelected private individual/organisation visibly polluting the night sky of the whole world represents extraordinary arrogance.

Who elected astronomers? Who decides what's "pollution" vs "beautiful"? It's just as arguably "extraordinary arrogance" to argue that a handful of rarified specialists should get a permanent veto on Earth's orbitals, particularly when it's about valuable planetary infrastructure for potentially hundreds of millions and we can see a clear path towards giving astronomers vastly superior capabilities to anything that will ever be possible on Earth.

Note that I 100% support mitigation efforts like are being undertaken. Magnitude reduction efforts, even if they add some cost, are entirely reasonable and appear to help solve much of the problem. But I do think it's important to acknowledge that no, mitigation isn't going to solve the entire problem for Earth-based astronomy, it is a compromise, and that the incredible capabilities of vastly better space telescope options will not be realized, even in the best case, within the remaining careers of some astronomers. That stinks. But Starlink will still be life changing for orders of magnitudes more and they deserve a say too.

And you say "unelected" but all these companies are regulated by a variety of organizations that are elected which is close enough. If a majority didn't want this, it could be banned. And if it did come down to a direct democratic referendum vote on Starlink vs a subsection of Earth-based astronomy, frankly I don't think the result is particularly hard to guess so I'm not sure that's a particularly productive angle to pursue.
100 watt power draw makes off grid solar much more challenging.

Two things I would do to stop this:

1. stop calling it right wing extremism. These guys are mad nationalists, not Ayn Rand (not that I am a fan of Ayn Rand either.)

By calling it by its real name it won't come across as just a variant of conservative or liberal. Because we absolutely detest them and I guess I speak for most of us when I say we don't even want them to vote for us.

2. Encourage serious debate. Dare to meet people.

I wrote about this the other day in the context of climate change:

Climate change believers are awfully fast to reach for the branding iron whenever someone asks an innocent questions.

Meanwhile climate change deniers will patiently smooth talk people and dig out "study" after "study" carefully picked to prove their point.

Same goes for this: the only place you can safely discuss immigration without risking someone sneaking up on you with a red hot "racist" iron is - you probably guessed it - with the racists.

Now why don't we fix this?

Probably because we'd have to admit that there are some serious problems with the way immigration has been practiced.

On a nation scale, pay tend to be adjusted based on hours worked while not counting permitted leave, vacation, and sick days. This does have an unequal impact by gender.
In my last company we keep a spreadsheet that has tabs occupying almost the maximun number of columns allowed and in different headers. Updating that Excel file needs the full team to work for two full days each month. That was after I created a VBA script to scrape data from internal dashboards and put them directly in the spreadsheet.

From my experience these monstrosities are usually created by two reasons: Push from business side and a data team too slow to react. Thus the analysts have to create the first version that seems to be OK and smart but eventually evolved into a monstrosity.

That's an emotionally charged argument. I could say that denying affordable Internet access to a vast population just for the sake of astronomy is equally arrogant. But that'd be wrong, and so is your statement. Everything is a trade off and we need to live with both.

SpaceX just didn't launch Starlink satellites. They got approval from the US regulation agencies, which in turn operate in accordance with the Outer Space Treaty that most countries are signatories.
Apple can't enforce such basic App Store rules consistently, even when violations are deliberately and clearly mentioned in the submission... and we are supposed to believe that Apple can't allow other stores on the decice because THAT would compromise security...

Is this about the semantics and syntax of English? Would your response be different in a hypothetical language where the pluralistic pet is (s)pet? How about if the plurality of pet was "scront" or "pet, uncountable many"

Mapping English words with / as a separator and into a world of 4 or 6 action verbs is a huge constraint on "meaning" in the linguistic sense.
Ordinary cable installation does not dig a hole big enough for a spool to fit. They tend to dig trenches just wide enough for what they are burying. They would have had to have done so much extra work for that.

Personally, back before JSON became a standard thing - I made heavy use of HSTORE to clean up some insanely cludgey string packing BS we'd been doing - leveraging recursive CTEs using the UNION definition allowed us to move a fixed tier system into a self-referential one that saved us a lot of headaches as well.

Other folks have mentioned :: instead of CAST AS (which is really nice when you need to write it a bunch of times) but it's mostly the diverse built-in function set and constraint support that keeps me an enthusiastic Postgres supporter.
Whenever an app does stuff like that, you can't shake the feeling that that app might be a front for somebody.

The FBI made fake anonymous phones. No reason an anti-LGBT organization or government couldn't make a Gay Dating app.

I'd like to know this as well. My guess is that you may have to install it on your device before it gets dropped from the Apple store.

Definitely have a cloud backup of your device enabled in case you need to ever reset your device so that you don't lose the app.

If you want to install it on another device things become more complex...

> I meant intra-cluster communication between nodes, when some nodes are on the Edge, some are inside the datacenter.

Don't do this. Have two K8s clusters. Even if the network were reliable you might still have issues spanning the overlay network geographically.

If you _really_ need to manage them as a unit for whatever reason, federate them(keeping in mind that federation is still not GA). But keep each control plane local.

Then setup the data flows as if K8s wasn't in the picture at all.
You can sign 7 apps a week for your own device with the tethered non-dev Apple ID. The certificates expire a week after, so you need to resign those 7 apps every week or they will stop working.

All of the "alternative" stores and distribution methods work with this mechanism, there is no better way and it is completely at Apple's whims.

Really, most interested users probably gave up at this point, looking at the decaying Jailbreak ecosystem.
You'd be surprised how many people in upper management have very fragile egos, regardless of the company. Childish behavior is very common in the industry. I can't even begin to count the number of times I've had to call senior members out and the only reason I could do that (unfortunately) was that I am a dude. I really sympathize with anyone who has to deal with these people.
Sure, if this was the first submission of the app, or the second. It isn't. It's had this feature and the intro explaining that it broke the rules from the get-go. But now, Apple suddenly backtracks it's decision to allow it AFTER the dev has already made sales based on the feature.

Apple should (in theory) give refunds for this, or make the developer whole somehow, because the dev's reputation is screwed.
Your question presumes any kind of causation between the premise of the article and the positive effects you describe.
This assumes that users understand the implications of the garden they're buying into. For many there may be a strong bandwagon effect, and they don't fully grasp what they are losing.
They bow to the will of the true owners of the device they are renting.
True. I'm old enough that I had these issues with C++ in the early 2000 even with _system_ compilers (AIX's C++ compiler was especially horrifying).

However times have changed. The features and C++ general coding style itself is quite different that what you'd write in '98.

If you're considering Rust, you should consider the modern available C++ with all the latest tooling to be fair. And it's _pretty_ good, all things considered.
> How many hands did that pass through and nobody was brave enough to strike that line? It adds nothing positive.

Perhaps I'm a cynic but I assumed that was the "compromise" version of the language and the original draft was worse.
> why are people taking such strong issue with this position

Because you don't actually make any arguments at all, and provide no evidence to your position.

All you are doing is playing devil's advocate, and saying "I don't believe the narrative!", without actually providing any evidence of your own as to why it is wrong.

If you worked at blizzard at the past, or know people who have, and you know from talking to them, that they have different experiences, then that would be a different story.

But you don't have that. You aren't actually backing up any position at all, and you are just casting doubt, like a bad faith actor, without actually defending or justifying anything that you are saying, beyond "I don't believe the narrative!".

> what motives am I supposed to actually have

The motive would be the same motive that the "well acttualllyyy", devil's advocates have. You get to try to look smart, by going against the grain, and find irrelevant flaws in people's arguments, without actually backing anything up yourself, or subjecting your own argument to the same type of hyper, useless, deconstruction.

Unpopular opinion: The Skype brand was critical to getting decent uptake in Lync (rebranded as Skype For Business) and these users were migrated across to Microsoft Teams which has been overwhelmingly popular (at least in the UK it’s the de-facto conference app).

It’s not totally clear to me that Microsoft would actually be doing well in the space without the Skype aquisition, but considering they bought Skype for 8.5bn and Zoom now has a market cap of 100bn my assumption is that Teams is valuable and maybe the price was worth paying.
Same here. I was sitting next to them at an after conference event and had a good laugh. Only later I recognized their faces. Or having a beer at FOSDEM.

Because if the iPad can be used as a computer, there's very little reason to buy a Macbook. It makes no financial sense.

It'd also allow apps to dynamically load external software, which could be used as a bypass for Apple's stringent app store requirements.
It's a general psychological problem, too. A huge part of storage organization psychology, whether in software or in a physical room, is subjective/proprietary perception and judgment. People who prefer and naturally warp any job role or position to use these tools, as all humans do with subjectively preferred processes and perspectives, will never stop creating them.

The good part of this not-invented-here mindset is that it's also how technology moves forward. "I need this new system to be mine/fit my way of organizing" is also often another way of creating a "this never existed before" product or outcome.

These storage and organization tools and silos are born as subjective (context-fitting) design processes. So they tend to get locked up behind depth-oriented (subjective) processes, and eventually frozen by stabilizer groups.

Stabilizer groups follow up to use the tools and promote the idea of keeping the data siloed the way it is. They don't like change at work because change breaks their preferred psychological processes, causes them to have to re-build their perceptual frameworks, and because they're humans, this makes them do stupid things at work, like lash out or become passive-aggressive or detonate their new diet plan or become late for a baseball game. They will blame all of this on "open data" or whatever it is that caused their stable workflow to destabilize.

There are lots of solutions to this, and Excel by itself can be seen as an attempt at a solution to the problem...also the problem can be moderated by the system of energy surrounding the data valuation and access to the data.

And "just don't silo stuff, guys" seems to be the proposal with the worst track record so far.
That would be like saying public parks are a health crisis because occasionally people get mugged in them, i.e. a vast overstatement.

But who would go to a public park if they had to pay $60+ /month and constantly get bombarded with flashing, intrusive billboards and pickpockets just to be able to talk to their friends or play a game together?

The much larger issue is that the internet doesn't have boundaries to prevent greedy and abusive people from competing for every available inch anyone wants to be in.

The way the internet should work is that everyone has access to it, that there are a variety of large, interest based hubs that draw people together, and that anyone can host a section of it for themselves for nothing more than the cost of electricity, and that ads, if they are necessary, should be based on the current page's topics rather than uniquely generated for every denizen.

It may be too late for the current internet to have that idyllic setup, true, but that doesn't mean it isn't the way its supposed to be.
Many businesses risk it all by building actual applications with Excel. Security, version control, automated testing are pretty much set aside. Case in point: https://insideparadeplatz.ch/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/ubs-...

That makes a lot of sense and is smart. Very introspective. I want to provide my anecdotal evidence as a counterpoint, with the understanding that weed can trigger anxiety in a really damaging way and it affects everyone differently.

I’m not in a financially stressful situation, but have been under a lot of performance stress in recent jobs. I found the best routine for myself was meetings during the day + whatever coding I could fit.

Where it gets interesting is at night, I would have a Coke Zero for a small caffeine kick and vape a bit of weed - not a lot - and put on some tunes. Then I’d be totally in the zone and code several day’s worth of work in a night. Sometimes even more.

I was praised for high productivity, and got a lot of work done. I don’t do it as often now, trying to maximize my sleep and my current work has more inter-team tension... but overall I get less work done now.

It definitely was a cheat code to enter the zone for a good 4-6 hours at night, and helped me perform at a higher level than I normally would.

Worth noting I wasn’t avoiding anything or using it as a tool for comfort. I think that can blur the line into an addiction or avoidance mechanism that can be harmful.

No, they are incompetently enforcing the rules because the "not allowed" functionality was added a while ago and explicitly mentioned to the reviewers. The update review that triggered the removal was just bug fixes.

As I recall, running "kubectl edit deployment..." doesn't do anything except edit the definition of the config. Instead, to have it take effect you seem to have to manually kill pods, and the new pods will come up with the edited config. If it were declarative, it should detect what needs to be changed, and automatically update accordingly. Same thing with editing a config. It's possible it was the funnel my local DevOps forced on me (and lacking needed permissions at every turn), but my experience was that if you removed deployments, configs, etc on the next deployment, nothing would be cleaned up and you had to manually remove. Again, that's not declarative.

In my experience Terraform and CDK are much more declarative; where you never issue commands to delete a pod or a load balancer or similar. Instead you describe what you want, and their engine figures out what it needs to add or remove or change to get to that state.

Aurora lets you grow your db storage up to 128 TB, but things become difficult and slow long before this point. This is true operationally (e.g. schema changes, restoring from a backup, etc) as well as potentially for application / query performance issues.

That said, sharding can be very painful too in other ways. But at least it permits infinite horizontal scaling, and it makes many operational tasks easier since they can be performed more granularly on each smaller shard.

Besides, once you get anywhere near Aurora's storage limit, you'll need to shard anyway. So it really just buys you some time before the inevitable.
Yes, as long as you don’t upgrade your phone. At some point an OS upgrade will break the app.
These rules are applied selectively. I know very popular apps that are loading interpreted code over https and executing it. Also, these same apps are exploiting a flaw in iOS in order to track users across apps and using the interpreted code to hide this.
"The narrative of the "stronger, more dangerous(!) weed" falls short because consumers have always, and will always, micro-dose. That's just the human way to do it. You don't drink 1l of water when you are thirsty, you drink until the body tells you it is enough."

That's not always true -- especially among new, naive users.

I knew someone who for their first time smoked an entire joint because they thought that was a single dose.

Unsurprisingly, they had a bad time because they basically overdosed... and that was more than a decade ago, when cannabis was significantly less potent than it is now.

I'm sure there are plenty of new users today who repeat the same mistake with dire (psychological) consequences.
