> Unemployment insurance serves a valuable role in giving people (barely enough) means to look for new employment [...]

Unemployment insurance is very weird: I agree that insuring against unemployment can be a good idea for many people. But why can't they purchase that insurance like eg their car insurance?

Then everyone can buy the type of insurance they want. They can decide how long they want their payouts to last and how high they should be. (And, of course, also how high their insurance premiums are going to be.) No need to involve one-size-fits-none central decisions.

(Though from what I can tell, when people prepare privately against bouts of unemployment, they typically 'self-insure', ie they accumulate savings, instead of buying an insurance policy.)

Just to be sure: providing publicly for the needy can be a worthwhile goal. But that should likely be means tested, and not called an insurance, and should probably also not be linked to _not_ having a job.
You can use up to four displays simultaneously, so three external displays along with the internal display would work. You can connect monitors directly using USB-C (with DisplayPort Alt Mode), DisplayPort, or HDMI Expansion Cards, or you can connect them through a dock.
That would be true if workers are getting better employment in other jobs. If people find unemployment more attractive than working, that is a different problem.

The percent of the population working a job has dropped 6‰ since a peak in 2000.

>That's the beauty of a free market: it works even if the participants don't support it.

Actually, that's the beauty of a well-regulated market.

Entrenched monopolies don't compete; they collude. See for example the Canadian telecom market which is under-regulated and thoroughly corrupt.

_A_ shop being out of stock doesn't mean that there is a shortage, but when all of them are it is.

> It also seems like you're trying to moralize this when it's just about supply and demand

I don't see how you can ignore the moral aspect - there is a massive difference between being able to afford toilet paper vs being able to hire workers at the rate that a corporation wants.

On the other hand, if it were actually the case that people kept turning on the wipers instead of signaling their turns, it would be a sign that we should figure out how to make these two different operations not use symmetrical levers, and that it would be okay to change people's expectations because those expectations weren't very firm.

In aircraft, where it matters a whole lot more that you don't confuse the various levers, the handle of the landing gear lever is shaped like a little wheel and the handle of the flaps lever is shaped like a little wing edge: https://aviation.stackexchange.com/a/22689

I personally think it's not that bad -- the documentation is a bit overwhelming because there are so many ways to configure it (some people are running with only docker, others using the CRDs, some people are using the built-in Ingress support, some using the new Gateway stuff). As with most things, if you read and mostly digest the documentation, you won't feel lost when it comes to setting it up -- I haven't run into any corners that were too hard to figure out or inconsistent (which is even worse).

You could get Traefik working inside your existing cluster actually by just letting NGINX route to it and seeing how easy it is to use that way -- though that may be more difficult than just spinning up a cluster on a brand new machine (or locally) and feeling your way around.

I can say that Traefik's dashboard makes it much easier to debug while it's running as it gives you a fantastic amount of feedback, Prometheus built in, etc.
Rarely in the last couple years have I had the displeasure of reading so much utterly dishonest bullshit in a single piece of interview text. This guy is either so utterly sociopathic that he can't even perceive how obviously false his claims sound, or he just has so much contempt for the public that he doesn't give a shit. Grotesque.
I'm guessing the question is related to this complaint:

20-somethings are at a lower risk for mortality, that doesn't mean they won't suffer long COVID symptoms like arthritis and reduced lung function. And also infect more vulnerable age groups.
Actually, not. There's at most a very minor effect on wages. The baby boomers entering the labour force didn't impoverish the existing labourers, for example.

If you are concerned, there's a relatively simple key-hole solution for migration: just auction off visas to the highest bidders, and distribute the proceeds amongst existing voters.
That was the first one that switched back, I think. Personally, I prefer that design to the full-height left/right and half-height up/down keys, because it's just easier for me to find the right arrows that way. (I'd prefer full height on all of them, but I recognize a laptop keyboard is space-constrained, at least if it's 13" or below. The 16" MBP has less excuse.)

It is very clear that they are useful but it is also very clear that they can be problematic. In Finance people check each number - multiple times per day - because there is no way to write tests in Excel. Sounds good? Until you can trust the people crunching the numbers, of course. Would you build a bridge like that? Or a building? I think it is worth to talk about this problem and, at the very minimum, inform people there are alternative ways to crunch numbers that are more reliable than Excel.

I didn’t really worry so much about this issue because I’m only a minor user of the software, but I really like it. I understand why this issue raised a great deal of concern, but I kind of just shrugged. I hoped that things would work itself out because it is good software.
> It takes atleast 50 years, often longer

Or, crazy idea, just do exactly what we do with fertilizer. Identify what's missing, prepare it en masse, and add it back in. This could include microbes, minerals, certain types of organic material, you name it. As our understanding of a system improves so too does our ability to efficiently manipulate it to achieve the end result that we want.
> Everyone has the running dialogue, all the time.

Actually this varies! It seems like most people have it, but some people don't (including me). People are often surprised the other exists. [1] I obviously still think, but most of it is non-verbal.

> noticing that you've been distracted, IS the practice

I'm talking about the exercise with the goal to focus awareness on the breath. Of course I found myself thinking all sorts of stuff at first, but I approached it with the goal to be undistracted with pure awareness on the breath. It was very difficult and took a long time, and I can't explain how exactly I did it, but I think I largely got there, and it put me in an intensely altered mental state afterward.

Maybe not having a normal running dialogue made it easier? It still felt extremely difficult though.

From the Github thread:

>I have been doing 3.0.3 Release Candidate testing and all seems good:

>a) error and crash reporting are one-off opt-in each time you get such a dialog,

>b) the update checking dialog that you get on initial launch of 3.0.3 enables you to turn off update checking in Application prefs BEFORE you hit the OK button - and thus no data is sent.

Everything is now as opt-in as it can be expected to, and the privacy policy has nothing untoward in it. I'm not super happy with how long it took to get to this point, but at least the wound has been debrided.
I thought this was for MacOS given the similar wallpapers on a bunch of the mockups.

That has nothing to do with the standard though? The behavior is well-defined, it's just compilers warning about use of & tending to be error-prone (rightly or wrongly).
Agreed, but consequences are more likely. Not enough, mind. Fraudulently confirming fraudulent work seems less likely than original fraud, though, unless the parties are in cahoots.

That's fair. I mostly like a minimalist approach, but I'd like them to find space for just a little more whimsy than they've had in the last decade -- and I'd definitely like to see the laptops in more colors than "silver gray" and "kinda darker silver gray".
This seems like a reasonable and thorough response. They revised and cut unnecessary bits and added clarification where possible within a reasonable time frame for these matters. Good job.

I really don't get the wailing and gnashing of teeth against even the principle of adding update checking and error reporting features. Real, regular people will get tangible benefits from these features. Their scope is so limited and implementation (now) drawn down to such a sharp point I can't really sympathize with a hard-line counterposition that these features must be defacto evil.
Yes.

And my point was that companies hiring programmers put up with much more bullshit from the likes of me, because they have to, if they want to hire enough people.

Programmers are coddled.

I have never had to do a drug test for work (though I never worked in the US). And most of people in software that I know would avoid places where they would have to take a drug test, just out of general principle. (Unless the money was really good, of course.)

Workers in most other industries have it much, much harder. Just as you describe!
> But why can't they purchase that insurance like eg their car insurance?

They can. And in many cases they should, on top of the mandated minimum insurance.

That won't stop the state taxing them and providing minimum insurance with the taxes. Why? Because unexpected negative income volatility that isn't covered has social as well as personal costs, and the simolest way to mitigate the social costs is to assure that people are insulated against some of the personal costs.
Depends a lot on what you have to stand on. Got FANG on your resume? or NASA or something? Coast through your career if you want. Fresh out of a bootcamp or a college that isn't One Of Those Big Ones? Yea, a project is a great way to prove you know your stuff.

Having a project I was actively working during my job search was great for a lot of other reasons, too. A lot of interviewers don't really know what to talk about, hadn't looked at my resume, etc. I could quickly take control of these interviews by bringing up my project, and many interviewers would seem almost relieved to have the pressure taken off of them. This had relatively obvious advantages for me insomuch as I controlled the narrative of the interview, came off as very competent (despite having literally no working experience), and left interviewers with a good impression. All in all I consider this, along with my volume of applications, to be the most important aspect of my job search.
> We have removed the provision that discourages children under 13 years old from using Audacity

This point is very important. Like many other open source projects, Audacity is used in a very large number of education-related projects. Having 13 as the minimum age was going to be a huge problem.

In a mine -- constricted space of very small volume with forced ventilation -- the conditions would be ideal for getting infected with a very high initial viral load. Under these conditions, it is not unreasonable that immunity of any kind (from infection or vaccination) would not be sufficient to prevent symptomatic COVID19 infections.

Depends. If you’re a framer they just want to know if you have tools and when you can start. If you’re a lead it’s important to know stuff like how to square a foundation and calculate stair risers and hips/valleys, and you should be familiar with different hardware and where it goes.

It added a lot more stability over win8 and removed a bunch of terrible UX. Additionally it added to a lot of the great ideas of windows 7. I can’t recall any off the top of my head, but I remember trying to do things in 7 and being surprised they weren’t possible.

I agree that win8 set a low bar, but so did vista, fact is 7 was much better and 10 follows that same progression.

I have experimented with Hydroponics for vegetables and herbs and it all boils down to a science. We know exactly what nutrient ratios a plant needs, at what stages, and so on, and when done in a controlled environment plants are much healthier and have more consistent yields. There is no “magic” to soil, it’s a chemistry problem. After my experiences people who talk about the soils being “depleted” or whatever sound anti-science to me.

We are good at growing a lot of food because big ag has figured out the science and is really damn good at it. In fact it is a miracle; only a few short generations ago famines were a common occurrence. Consistency of flavor and yield reigns supreme, because when someone orders a Big Mac or a Bud Light they want it to taste the same every time.

Now of course, there is a whole organic and craft market segment for people who disagree with that premise and it’s served quite well in the US for those who want to pay for it.
„JavaScriptus delendus est.“

But I think the parent refers to the famous quote by Cato Censorius who demanded Carthago to be destroyed. He used the „accusativo cum infinitivo“ construct to express his personal desire not something that actually happened to this point. So it should read:

[Ceterum censeo] Javascriptum esse delendum.
That's not true.

Compare `( a() || b() || c() ) ? yes() : no()` to `( a() | b() | c() ) ? yes() : no()`.

In the second case, there are two paths through the code:

a()
b()
c()
yes()

a()
b()
c()
no()

But in the first case, there are more paths:

a() /* true */
yes()

a() /* false */
b() /* true */
yes()

a() /* false */
b() /* false */
c() /* true */
yes()

a() /* false */
b() /* false */
c() /* false */
no()

That is because there are fewer branches in the second statement (just one) than there are in the first statement (three).

I did a six month consulting gig in Cupertino a few years ago. I lived right at the edge of Cupertino and San Jose. I was paying well over $2k per month for a 1BR apartment — much more than my 4BR house payment here in Austin, where my wife stayed while I was in Cupertino.

I saw a house for sale there not far from my apartment complex. Literally a shack that was not fit for human habitation. It was selling for over $600k, and the land value alone was closer to $700k — yes, the “house” really was that bad.

I was a consultant, so I was barely within my “spend 1/3 of your income on housing” rule. I calculated that to be converted to an employee, they’d have to pay me north of $250k per year in order to be able to afford that same apartment.

I was not at all unhappy when they told me that my consulting contract was up earlier than expected, and I got to go back home to Austin just before Christmas of that year.

And housing prices in Cupertino has risen steadily by 20% year-over-year, and have done for at least a decade or two. Where else in the world can you get a guaranteed 20% annual increase on your investment?

California can keep their damn sky-high housing prices. I just wish they wouldn’t bring that shit with them when they move from California to Austin.

Maybe I am being uncharitable, but my initial reaction is: What is all this verbiage? Just make software that does not phone home. Audacity does not need to phone home to implement any of the features that people actually use it for, so make it not phone home. There is no need for legalese or complex explanations. Whatever you think you are going to get out of getting more user data, just drop it. You do not need it. Just make the software not phone home, end of story.

Like I said, though, maybe I am being uncharitable. Am I missing something?
If there is one lesson from me too movement then that fighting back is often the best strategy. Kavanugh fought back and is now justice. Matt Gaetz fights back and is still in congress.

It's Rate of death for vaccinated * probability of catching covid < Rate of death of vaccinated * probability of catching covid-19 + probability of dying from vaccine.

As probability of catching covid-19 decreases, it makes less sense to vaccinate, and if the probability of catching covid-19 is 1%, the vaccine death rate needs to be 100 times smaller than the reduced covid-19 death rate. For young people I think the numbers are against the vaccine.

If it significantly stopped spread that would be different - but the new variants statistics make it pointless at 39% only efficacy.

At this point the numbers are just sadly against vaccines. I'm saying this as a disappointed vaccinated young person. I wouldn't have taken it with the currently known numbers.
