This was very helpful, thank you for taking the time.
Most of the unvaccinated in the ICU are either overweight, have preexisting conditions, or are old. I don't see any reason not to attack other root causes to clear out the ICUs while we are at it, right?
Wouldn't bullying be a reason for discipline regardless of what medium is occurred in? That doesn't seem relevant to Slack channels about any particular topic.
Love this. It reminds me of the whole "celebrities read mean tweets about themselves on Jimmy Kimmel" thing. Taking a comment out of context really blunts its power
I don't disagree with you in regards to the need to greatly reform how we handle and prosecute (or don't prosecute) drug-related crimes, but having said that, what is the judge to do? Ignore a law and sentencing guidelines entirely?
To put it in perspective for those who havn't been following what Samsung has been up to:

- Samsung is a major conglomerate domestic to S Korea. LG is a similar congolmerate

- They make consumer appliances and durable goods, similar to how General Electric in the US used to (washer, dryer, fridges, dish washers, TVs) and are on their way to make them "smart" and connected devices

- They compete in the Android phone and smartphone market. LG (another S Korean consumer devices conglomerate) had recently withdrawn from that market.

- They own their own cloud (Joyent acquisition). However they are cutting back on their consumer cloud offering in Mar 2021.

- They own world-class semiconductor fabrication facilities, peers of TSCM and Intel. Samsung produces chips, memory for themselves and other customers. They also produce milspec, secure smartphones for the US military

- They own an AI research team (Viv Labs acquisition, founded by the team that created Siri and sold to Apple)

- They have Samsung Pay

In other words, Samsung has its own flywheel going and controls a national stategic assets (semiconductor fabs). Maybe South Korean law is intended to open the market more, but I think this move is as much motivated as being able to project economic power through Samsung as anything.
How do you make _effort_ transparent though? If pay is conditioned on effort and productivity (which it arguably should be), how do you surface that explanation, rather than just the extremely inflammatory "this person makes $700K a year" number. For all you know this person might have made the company 10x the amount, whereas someone who "only" made $600K a year had effectively negative productivity. Without this context comp numbers are effectively useless.
I don't really agree with your post, but wow, that is a beautiful and profound image.
Really exciting to see techniques like this growing in popularity. Flaxseed has been used by woodworkers forever, and the supply chains / manufacturing complexity are bound to be drastically shorter and simpler than that of concrete.

This kind of technology is really important for africa where access to the developed-world uber-techs is prohibitively high. Concrete in this example, or even things like foam insulating panels and other construction materials. Concrete is really amazing stuff and I don't want to downplay its usefulness but it's insanely energy intensive to produce [0][1]

When initial capital costs are high, either only the rich/elite get access to basic technology, or the national governments have to take out loans from the IMF and other lending institutions, which can indebt poor citizens of developing countries for generations.

The average corporation doesn't go bankrupt, so you moved the goalpost from "corporation" to "startup". Ok, sure. So, in your view, a developer who leaves behind over-architected complexity to "mediocre" developers is a surefire recipe for going bankrupt... and this was supposed to be in defense of overarchitecting complex codebases? To me it sounds like going bankrupt is bad, so we as developers should strive to prevent our employers from going bankrupt, no? So if you work for a startup that you know is going to hire mediocre developers after you, surely you should strive to leave behind the kind of codebase that doesn't bankrupt the company after you leave?

Well if you take that kind of stuff seriously, you really should watch the Yuri Bezmenov interviews.

Thanks, I completely agree with you on the defined course thing. I'd like a defined path, I hate trying to learn about any topic from random webpages with links scattered throughout.

I considered going back and doing the sort of last year maths exam from UK high school, A-level or Scottish higher for this reason. I like the accountability and enforced deadlines. And that the curriculum has been designed properly.

Either that or work through khan academy.
Our society would keep on working just fine if everyone disrespected judges who assist in the process of trying someone for the completely victimless crime of owning a syringe. I very much hope that part of the legal system collapses from lack of respect, if not by other means.
One downside to all this surveillance that's never considered are the consequences of all this intel after a foreign invasion and life for the surveiled after a defeat.

What if you asked the person who would write that email to instead ask Docker if they can extend the grace period for you until you can get a contract set up?

Since it's unclear if / how Docker can enforce their TOS I'm guessing they would be happy to extend it because the other avenues lead to you not using DD or using it without paying.
Don't be coy. You're talking about the violent overthrow of the government. And you know what? If you live in any one of the western liberal democracies, this response is bullshit and you know it. In a democracy, the government is _you_ and the _people around you_, and we have all kinds of legal defenses against wanna-be autocrats:

- speeches

- rallies

- op-eds

- letters

- phone calls

- commercials

- campaign contributions

- strikes

- sit-ins

- marches

- education

- lawsuits

- appeals

But above all:

- voting

So get up on your soap box, and get people to the ballot box.

i'd have to buy a new stove if i had a cast iron pan

i have a glass top stove.

cast iron has several problems. Learning how to "season" it (which i never figured out how to do when i had a different oven), the fact it's usually expensive and there's no "one size fits all scenarios" type of pan to use and re-use, thus resulting in you have to buy several.

Then there's stainless steel pans but good luck with that - everything sticks to that.

I just want to cook some eggs without having to use some chemical solvent to actually clean the egg remnants off the pan.
> Having multiple implementations is a sign of a healthy programming language

this is frequently taken as axiomatic but there's no actual support for it in reality. there are plenty of healthy single-implementation languages (go, rust, scala, erlang) and plenty of unhealthy multi-implementation languages (c, d, sql, javascript) to go alongside the healthy/multi (python, ruby) and unhealthy/single (php, i guess, i don't care about this quadrant very much)
Right and when you're a corporation it cannot be overstated how important it is to coalesce around universal solutions that get up and out of the way with as few steps as possible. Handing new developers a handbook of incantations to get going is very fragile. Handing those same developers one executable with a big Go! button is much easier to get right.

One example from my last job was having one shell.nix in the root of every project folder a developer could nix shell into that contained everything they needed, same version and all, to get going with that project.
You don't need both Billing and Invoicing. Invoicing is for one-time payments (typically after a service has been delivered), and Billing is for recurring payments.

All in all, we're looking at $0.30 + 3.4% (or 3.3%). This is clearly lower than 30%, except for very inexpensive apps (~$1.29 or less).
> It is the same in France, but they are still powerless because they are not present on the company's board unlike Germany

Not exactly powerless, some decisions and some changes need to be accepted by the worker's councils. But they cannot make decisions and force the company to go in a certain direction.
I would expect as much, just based on how badly direct democracies have performed historically.

John Adams said, "Remember Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes exhausts and murders itself. There never was a Democracy Yet, that did not commit suicide. It is in vain to Say that Democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious or less avaricious than Aristocracy or Monarchy."

In the past, democracy was viewed as a form of government that republics devolved into.
Ultimately success in DevOps/SRE is not about knowing everything in a company but about knowing how to track down the necessary information and/or learn it. So you should build a map of this info to the best of your ability.
I put together a cheat sheet describing most of the infrastructure patterns as much as possible, links to the various tooling (ci/cd, observability, authentication) and links to spreadsheets listing all where generally to find clusters and cloud regions. I also put a brief summary of who owns what products or at least who I usually go to for the information.
For early projects I try and find a low stakes project for the trainee that will touch as many different moving parts of the best practice infrastructure as possible.
> Answers like that are very common, meaning that you commonly get unhelpful advice. But worse, those people get angry when you don't accept their advice. The Linux Desktop community has a serious problem with letting these kinds of people continue to represent them.

I think this is the problem with the tech community at large. I encounter this whether I'm browsing for info for Linux, macOS, or Windows or networking or programming or anything else.

I don't think its up to the "Linux Desktop community" to police this more than any other community needs policing.
If you spend a lot of time reading/typing text on a computer, hiDPI helps as the text is a lot sharper. Though honestly I don't care as much and find that 1080 is an acceptable resolution for smaller screens (<= 22").

It's exactly because of it. This cooperative system gives the state significant control over the church, which was the original reason for this sort of semi-public funding. German priests are trained in public universities and the state has influence on the curriculum. Them most extreme form of religions you will always find outside of the system.

You don't need to pass the bar to be a paralegal & do the grunt work while the firm is billing US rates. Bigger law and accounting firms already utilize this model, whereby entry level employees do the bulk of the raw work, and the audit report/advisory/legal filing gets pushed up the hierarchy while being simultaneously refined and improved, sometimes sent back down the chain. Many revisions later, the final version is signed off, by someone who has passed the state bar, and possibly has their name on the building - if the client is a big deal.
boot windows safe mode, execute sysprep. This strips windows of hardware-specific drivers, so that qemu should have an easier time running it.

It took me just a couple of minutes to find the bill in question, read up on it and find that most of the claims made in this article are incorrect.

It's not "rushed through parliament in 24 hours", it's been in a process since at least December 2020. The 'without a judge' part is strongly misleading:

(5) If subsection (4) applies, the applicant must:

(a) provide as much information as the eligible Judge or nominated AAT member considers is reasonably practicable in the circumstances; and

(b) not later than 72 hours after the making of the application, send a duly sworn affidavit to the eligible Judge or nominated AAT member, whether or not a warrant has been issued.

Subsection (4) is about immediate threats.

The AAT's decisions "are subject to review by the Federal Court of Australia and the Federal Circuit Court of Australia" (Wikipedia).

> If you knew you were in trouble at work, would you show up to your disciplinary hearing/meeting/whathaveyou with "Buttfucker 3000" written over your name on your badge in plain sight?

> The same thing generally applies to the courtroom - it's showing a lack of respect for, and understanding of, the situation one is in.

Others have said this, but I want to underscore it with different phrasing: you seem to not understand the difference between "fear" and "respect".

> Were a judge to think they may want to give an individual a lenient sentence, they may change their mind were they to find out that that individual is basically saying, "Fuck you and fuck all of this, I don't care."

Justice should not depend on how good you make a judge feel about themselves or how fearful you show yourself to be of the system; justice should look only at the facts of the case and be blind to these unrelated details, no matter how much they make the judge personally feel bad.

I appreciate it isn't like that: justice is not blind, and is in fact horribly unfair. And this means we tend to leave laws on the books that disproportionately affect certain groups of people because we let law enforcement and judgement proceedings favor use "discretion" to "discriminate" (note the relationship between these words).

But that someone knows this to be true and thereby chooses a strategy to play that maximizes their benefit, has nothing to do with "respect": it is out of "fear" of what the system will do to you if you don't put on the outward appearance of "respect", even if--entirely internally--you are feeling nothing but "contempt" (a feeling that I personally couldn't blame anyone for having).
Agreed. My expectation from a community like HN would be total rebellious culture from the mainstream attitude, full of interesting perspectives, data-backed arguments, anti-mob pro-objectivity discussions, and no shortage of nutjobs posting crazy theories - the good ol' hacker culture.

What terrifies me is that HN community continues to double-down anything but mainstream and conformity. This is in direct relation to larger societal trends that you're highliting. Even the slightest neutral stance will get you downvoted.

If no one on HN is doing the legwork for raising concerns, who will?

I guess I spend much more time doing regular typing and being off-center really makes it painful (old HP laptop).

I did buy a wireless numeric keypad at one time that had some extra keys and arrows that made data entry really fast.
I have an oryp5 (2019). The keyboard is ok. The numeric pad is annoying though, as others have commented. I definitely prefer my old mac which didn't have one.

The touchpad is awful. Way too sensitive to palm touches, even in windows - so it isn't just a linux driver issue. This might be related to the fact that its off center but I think its just lousy hardware. In linux I've tweaked both the touchpad area (reduced) and threshold settings but its still barely usable and I palm-touch constantly unless I hold my hand at an awkward angle.

Maybe this pangolin is better but I looked at the overhead picture of the keyboard and it looks almost identical to my oryp5. The touchpad may be upgraded hardware, so I don't know.

I love what system 76 is doing, PopOS is great, but I really wish they'd get off these Clevo laptops. The hardware just isn't very good, IMO.

How “Hate Crimes Against Police” Expose the Fatal Flaw Within Hate Crime Statutes

Offenses Against Police Could Be Hate Crime

https://www.post-journal.com/news/page-one/2020/09/offenses-...

If you squint enough, lése-majesté starts to look like hate crime legislation. Paul Kagame maintains his dictatorship on a foundation of hate speech and genocide denial accusations.

When the enemy is an abstraction like "hate" there's no way to create a bright line between it and "disagreement" or "opposition." Are you publicly condemning a politician's behavior, or are you inciting hate against him?
"Cerebral Developer", not "cereal" lol!
I'm reminded of the story about improving the armor on airplanes in World War 2. They were looking at where the fighters had been hit by enemy fire and improving the armor in those areas, until someone realized they should be armoring the areas where there were no bullet holes - because the planes hit in those areas didn't come back at all.

Likely the same principle applies to the logging boots. Logging boots without steel toes were probably damaged to the point of. being unusable (to say nothing of the logger's foot) and they were discarded.

I don't claim to know anything about sports but in the industrial environment, I am not going to be convinced that less PPE to make people work more carefully is a good idea. The idea is attractive as a paradox but it is beyond absurd to consider in practice - in fact it is barbaric.

I’ve heard union leaders say getting workers to “hate the boss” is an important part of organizing. Entering in to negotiations where the goal is to punish the boss as opposed to getting the best deal for the workers is toxic.
Most people who do tech work in the sense of using a computer for most part of their days such as software devs (I hope) use external keyboards and screens and mice anyway, 99% of the time. AC adapter plugged in.
With the WFH trend, this will be a growing trend.

I unplug the AC adapter and monitor to go over to someone's desk or hold a presentation perhaps a few times a month at most. I would not want to write code a whole day on even the best laptop keyboard and the most crispy 4K laptop screen.

There is a surprising lack of choice for laptops targeting this mode of use though. For example the $3k Dell precision I have now doesn't like being used plugged in for extended periods. They put a category of battery in them that swells when heated. So if you, like me, leave it on for say a year at your desk (This happened during the pandemic) - it expands and the keyboard and trackpad stops working.

When you go for a "workstation" class laptop, the manufacturers have crammed so much perf into an impossibly small package, that it's screaming loud and glowing hot. Just make it twice as thick with half the battery size and I'll buy it.
