> If devs aren’t unionized, there’s no such thing as scabs right? Blizzard can just terminate all the disgruntled employees and hire other devs, perhaps more desperate or entry level or morally ambiguous, whatever.

Walkouts of this sort are considered protected activity under the NLRA, regardless of whether or not the people involved belong to a union.
Eh... take a look at some of the shit that was reported in the lawsuits, seems a lot worse than mis-interpreted "ribbing".
I respond to posts the same way I write code.

I write it first, then look for edge cases.

Perhaps I should add a new step, post after the edge cases have been considered.
boto3 is available in Python skills too, so there's probably a shortcut there for you :)
A reading list...with tags, which those browsers don't have, and while I don't have Safari, if it's like Chrome it's just a flat list.

I mean, Firefox's bookmarking isn't perfect by any definition, but they're the only browser (I'm aware of) that has put any effort into helping you use the web in the future. Other browsers seem to say, "if you're trying to use our browser to do something other than use the web at the present moment, we don't care about that. Enjoy taking 8 clicks to do anything other than stare at the viewport."
Rust 'does' lazy evaluation only in the sense that you can implement it if you go out of your way. It's not the default like in Haskell. It's not a functional programming language–having functors, monoids, and monads (in some restricted sense) doesn't make a language FP.
I first used this in 2008, and it was old then. As far as I know this is what eventually lead to projects like Home Assistant. Now for some reason I just don't even bother with home automation, even though there's technically more smart home stuff than ever. Perhaps it's because it's not as simple and fun as X10?
Just like the house owner that does his own work isn't a general contractor. And like that, the distinction is gradual, and there is benefit to the home owner in knowing how to do their own repairs and construction to a point, and then hiring out for the stuff that's too much for you.

I don't think most people thought that the theoretical general farmer described is literally a crop doctor, but that they should know enough about it to know when to call in a professional, and when there are initial steps that might be taken to hamper or eliminate a disease before it takes hold.
> Sex is similar. We are descended from males who mated with as many women as they could. Maybe not all men are like me, but there is a part of my brain that literally wants to mate with every attractive woman I see.

Not quite. We are descended from sexual pairs whose children survived long enough to reproduce. Often, it took at least both mother and father to keep children alive. And human female reproduction selects for males who stick around, primarily by hiding most signs of ovulation, unlike many other mammals with obvious signs of momentary fertility.

But you're not wrong either. Both male and female reproductive strategies want to maximize number and viability of offspring, but the female cost is much higher than the male cost in time and energy, so males can theoretically roam more easily. In the past, mobility and low populations generally limited that ability (though Genghis Khan managed). That's the disconnect between prehistoric and modern humans that porn and dating apps exploit.
That's an interesting point, and I agree. But the difference is, I have experience working with difficult and disrespectful people in group projects who are neurotypical. I know how to deal with them and how to resolve the issues that most commonly arise.

But in this case I have absolutely zero knowledge or experience dealing with a similar situation but with a neurodivergent person. It's a completely new thing that I've never had to deal with. That's why I'm asking for advice.
Things to know before starting investing
Back about 18y ago there was, er, Trillian (?) and you could have all your chats in one UI at least. If I were in charge chat apps would have to use federation with an open interchange format (RIP XMPP).

I think XMPP and Trillian might still be going but once Facebook, Microsoft and Google stopped playing nicely ...
This only holds if advertising can't grow the market, which it absolutely can and does.
Women object most to compliments about things that aren't under their control. A compliment about their choices -- their hairstyle, their choice of shoes, etc -- is better than a compliment about their body.

When a man compliments a woman's appearance, it instantly raises the alarm that he is going to demand sex. Maybe that's not his intention, but she can't know that. It has happened to her enough times that she has to prepare herself for it. Which is exhausting.

It also helps to pay compliments in passing. Don't stick around waiting for her reply. It's not on her to thank you or even acknowledge you. If you will feel bad that she doesn't affirm you for having complimented her, then don't do it. A compliment that puts a burden on her, even a small one, is of no benefit.

Men have different experiences (and of course everything varies from person to person). But some of these dynamics still help. Men don't want to feel the compliment as a burden, either. So if you want to be the type of person who pays compliments, a passing "Hey, snazzy tie!" may work better for you.

And if somebody does say that to you, "Thanks!" is all you need. And no-response is also an option: if it wasn't, the compliment wasn't sincere.
I think this position is very valuable. By far the best way for us to effect change in China politically, and every other major ideologically opposed nation, is to effect change at home, and be so sucessful that the superiority of our approach cannot be refuted.

Bonus point that there is a lot less chance of war this way.
My lack of knowledge of the DFEH and other cases they have tackled are probably the reason for my question. The rebuke from Riot was more data driven in which they point out a few misleading claims from the DFEH: https://www.pcgamesn.com/riot-games-lawsuit-dfeh-response. Both Blizzard and Riot have a similar response stating that the DFEH is out of line, misrepresenting claims, or baseless. It either points to very bad SoCal video game company cultures or maybe there is some merit to the rebuttles. Maybe the real answer is somewhere in between.

Crossing my fingers for widespread changes either way. The video game industry has a long-standing reputation for many other things besides just not being inclusive.
In the case of Blizzard, the more relevant advice is "Don't grope your coworkers, don't give subordinates unsolicited advice on how to perform sexual acts, don't get drunk at work and hit on your coworkers, don't sleep with subordinates, and don't distribute nude pictures of your coworkers over e-mail. Also, don't retaliate against people who report harassment."

I think a moderately intelligent, moderately socialized human being may be quite capable of avoiding this minefield of do's and don'ts without being a robot.

The CoH games are great small army RTS games, even if I think of them as Real Time Tactics games. But that really is the point for me. It seems that with the aging and seeming non-interest in RTS games like Starcraft, the market and those making products to serve that market have splintered a relatively homogeneous genre into a group of loosely similar niche genres where the differences between themselves and other games is seen as a dividing line instead of focusing on the commonalities involved to grow interest and increase player base amongst the larger game segment.

I see Warhammer 40k and Starcraft having much more in common with each other than either has with Halo, despite the very obvious surface level trappings. And I think X-com has more in common with CoH than either have in common with modern warfare or call of duty. I really despair for a broader grouping of strategy and tactics games, that may or may not exclude 4x games, in hopes that it could build a bridge between the various niche styles and cross promote the bigger genre.
>...Power. Batteries more specifically. We just don't have a way to power anything for very long that doesn't have a cable attached to a wall attached to a power station...

To be clear (not to be snide, just to improve clarity), increased power density is the ability to discharge energy in larger amounts in shorter time periods (think heavy lift olympians). Energy density is the ability to store large amounts of energy for longer periods of time (think long distance runner). Some applications, like cell phones are quite happy with high energy density, but relatively low power density. Others, like an battery-electric drill, need more power density but can offset the low energy density by swapping out batteries and having a rotable pull.

Great idealic batteries for this application would have both large energy and power desnity. I say this because people often overlook "batteries" that people don't refer to ass batteries because they generally don't come in a self-contained cell (they have subsystems that don't benefit much from cellular architectures). Case in point are Hydrogen fuel cells. I'm not saying their better than Li-ion, but they are for certain applications. Often H2 fuel cells are paired with Li-ion batteries or supper capacitors to provide improved power when transient energy bursts are needed. H2 fuel is stored in some tank - perhaps a pressure tank, perhaps in the form of Aluminum and water reaction, or for this application it may likely be some metal hydride that stores H2 'benignly'. However, to your point, even these metal hydrides have a lot of room and potential for improving energy density.

My only point here is that, cureently, the best answer may not be a single cellular battery, but some hybriid of energy storage technologies.
I absolutely love it when I am present for when my kids start learning something. It's delightful to watch them learn and figure things out and take their first steps. Sometimes whatever they are learning is something they enjoy, and sometimes it's not. For my son the first time he realized he was consistently hitting the ball in baseball was great. For my daughter it was getting control of the ball in soccer. The novelty is delightful.

One thing I learned over time though, is that when I am present is that my presence is a distraction. It wasn't something I figured out - my son straight up told me. When I am there at a practice, he is constantly checking if I am watching, because he wants to make sure he is doing well (not because I am a crazy perfectionist parent - I hope... ) because he wants to show off. By not being fully engaged and present I give him the freedom to practice and make the mistakes that are necessary for bridging a basic skill to mastery.

I enjoy watching them learn, but not at the cost of my children being distracted from the task at hand. I will be present for every performance, and every game, but if I am going to a practice, I will generally drop the kids off and take a walk to give them space to mess up without being concerned what I am going to think or how I might respond.
Well it assumes a zero-sum game from the perspective of the competitors. The combined advertising effort of all competitors could grow the entire pie that they each share. Even though their percentage of the pie stays the same, the magnitude of the slice could be bigger, and that improvement in magnitude could outstrip the advertising cost, thus making it worthwhile.
Because of the downvotes I am curious to explainations to the contrary. I am certified to work on the german electrical grid, if there is something I am getting awfully wrong I'd like to both know and understand it : )
I don't think that would be helpful. If a book is too abstract it won't teach anything useful. Teaching something concrete is a good way to allow students to synthesize abstract ideas over time. And OCaml is a good vehicle for it because it has so much in common with other mainstream languages, especially nowadays with the trend towards functional/imperative/OOP mixed paradigms.
> Here in Canada, we have a thriving industry that includes both primary developers and developers who focus on outsourced work. Most of my career has been involved with shops that were sub-contracted labour from American studios.

The situation in Canada is interesting: their own government heavily pitched the country as an outsourcing destination, boasting Canadians devs are worth 50k less than American ones. [0]

Is that a popular measure?

My interpretation of OP was that if civilization collapses, a revival would require cheap energy (probably fossil fuel) to rebuild industry and science - and that fossil fuel is gone.

There are lots of alternative energy sources, but we haven't managed to switch to them with our pretty advanced science and energy, so there may not be a developmental path for less advanced societies that ends in plentiful energy sources without fossil fuels as a stepping stone.

Put another way: If a society at the level of pre-industrial revolution Europe didn't have access to oil and coal, do you think they could have figured out nuclear energy? How would they obtain the energy to process and refine fissionable material? Or even for that matter... how could they obtain the energy to smelt iron and steal, let alone build computer chips and solar panels.

So our failure now also limits what any successor intelligent species could accomplish (until enough fossil fuels can form again).

20 years ago it was fairly frequently perceived as both very nerdy in an unpopular way and in imminent danger of being outsourced entirely.

It's sad how many people who had to put up with bullying for their interests back then quickly became bullies themselves when they had the opportunity. Of all people, we should know better.
Yes, that is a valid response.

But like... just don't comment on people's bodies. That's weird as heck. If you aren't having sex with them, commenting on their breasts or making sexually charged statements at work is insanely inappropriate.

One story I heard was that a women with large breasts was having a blast playing at an internal Battle of the Bands and one of the judges said, in front of the crowd on a mic, "I like your big... talents".

WHAT THE F___?! How can that be said at a work event and HR isn't like throwing down the gauntlet.

Haha, they do, and they are the same bullshit, and basically killed small hatchbacks.

In EU car makers are paying for extra g of CO2/km on every vehicle. And that g/km is calculated based on weight of the vehicle. I don't have exact numbers, but basically 2 ton SUV can have something like 140g/km without penalty, while 1.3 ton hatch has to have 70g/km which is impossible.

I think perhaps you need to read the comment closer:

> left senior corporate roles to pursue farming

> when they made their first money working, they bought a piece of land and were there pretty much every weekend

> from working the farm themselves all the way to employing peoplefrom working the farm themselves all the way to employing people

My interpretation of that is they bought the land and worked it weekends while they still had corporate jobs, but left those roles to focus on the farm, and now even employ people to work it with them.

That's not what I would call a hobby. It does seem to be farming for a living, given no alternative/additional jobs are mentioned.

That's just false. Becoming a Japanese citizen isn't harder than being a permanent resident and in some cases it's easier (https://www.turning-japanese.info/2010/07/faq-which-is-more-...). The most common thing is that people don't want to become Japanese citizens because it requires giving up their native citizenship and the benefits of permanent residency is basically equivalent to that of citizenship (other than voting).
> Sometimes we just need to work to earn for our family.

I think this is situational. If you’re barely scraping by then absolutely. If you’re fairly well off though you’re just working to buy a bigger house, better phone, faster car, etc. To each their own, but for me personally I’ve reduced work to hang out with my kids (and I’m not wealthy by first world standards).

I don’t think there’s any point in guilting people about it though. Just be aware that you often can subsist on less to free up time, if that’s appealing. I think a lot of us just do the thing (9-5 or w/e) because everyone else is and it seems normal.

Money quote:

«But over the past 10 years or so, soil science has undergone a quiet revolution, akin to what would happen if, in physics, relativity or quantum mechanics were overthrown.

...

Soil researchers have concluded that even the largest, most complex molecules can be quickly devoured by soil’s abundant and voracious microbes. The magic molecule you can just stick in the soil and expect to stay there may not exist.

...

The consequences go far beyond carbon sequestration strategies. Major climate models such as those produced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are based on this outdated understanding of soil. Several recent studies indicate that those models are underestimating the total amount of carbon that will be released from soil in a warming climate. In addition, computer models that predict the greenhouse gas impacts of farming practices — predictions that are being used in carbon markets — are probably overly optimistic about soil’s ability to trap and hold on to carbon.»

This falls flat for me. So the implication is that there are no educated Chinese today with exposure to liberal democracy? I think we take for granted the supposed superiority of a system that empirically has delivered many recent failures.
