> It would be another half-century before the empire started to codify what "Christianity" was in a "strict" sense (Nicaean creed, right?).

The Roman Empire didn't codify anything. The Nicene Creed was composed by the Church in response to the Arian crisis. That the empire (through Constantine) had an interest in peace does not mean the empire performed the clarification.
I'm in California, and am currently interacting with developers and application engineers working in India, US East Coast, France, and Israel, and formerly China (haven't had to deal with that team lately). This means that evening or early morning meetings are sometimes needed. We try to keep it to a minimum, and this hits some people more than others.
It's an excellent article. I share it with people constantly.
Mostly having to learn systemd.

Ultimately the same reason I have an iPhone instead of an Android: Windows/MacOS do what I need and at this point I'm more interested in doing that thing I need/want to be doing instead of f'ing with the internals of my OS, figuring out how to merge config file changes from my package manager, and getting it working with the WiFi.

25 years ago that sort of thing was fun. I have no appetite for re-learning it.
I want an encyclopedia of tropes. The history of ideas, memes, idioms, cliches, and so forth. The rhetorical armor version of snopes.

I'm no longer interested in debunking creationism. I just want to know who started it, and the jargon and dog whistles they use. So whenever another zealot starts spewing nonsense, I can more quickly recognize the pathogen, and quickly extract myself from the conversation.

Just tell me the shareholder-wealth-maximization fable is just some fanfic Milton Friedman wrote to get beer money from real estate tycoons.

That some former railroad lawyer came up with the "corporate personhood" law hack so that his patrons could avoid paying taxes.

That all those QAnon stories is just a serial loser monetizing the forum posts of kids playing conspiracy Madlibs.
Thanks for the link, it was a good example of something worth clearing up.

But I'm not sure things like chiropractics is comparable to your example - it's trash, we know it's trash and having a journal where people argue the merits of it and other similar trash would just be psuedoscience cargo culting the peer review process to lend itself an air or superficial legitimacy. Which is fine I guess, because sane people will just ignore such "journals".

But it is a shame that this particular "journal" initiative chose to focus on nonsense instead of filling a niche that might actually use filling - a legit journal for ideas that do have evidence behind them, but are still controversial for other reasons, and risk not getting published as a result.

A good example might be where ancestry meets medicine and biology, which has been justifiably kind of banned from public discourse due to its long and sad history of racist nonsense, but which if legitimately studied could save and improve lives - eg, there's the fairly widely known example of the blood thinning medicine that works for "white" people but not for "black" people. (a gross oversimplification, as our social construct "race" labels are just that, social constructs, and are terrible proxies for actual underlying genes, but still, if people don't study and publish these things, disadvantaged groups are made even more disadvantaged by being prescribed treatments that work for others but not for them, which is terrible)

I also have my own script for Resume generation but my JSON is based on the JSON resume[0] schema.

While I find these tools pretty nice and there have been a lot of attempts to standardize, I've found that almost everybody likes to maintain their own way, or redo it after a couple of years.

I disagree.

The bump on the j-key on the keyboard, and the 5-key on the numpad is very much clear to high-speed typing.

On keyboards without bumps, I find myself off-aligned. Instead of typing "jumping jellyfish", I type "hynoubg hekktfusg", and have to realign my hands.

Could I do it without the bump? Probably. But having the bump there (both the j-bump and the 5 bump) is very useful at preventing this mistake.

Sure more research is still needed but with these sorts of results so far, if someone wants ivermectin, they should be able to get it, easily, cheaply. There is no excuse for it to be banned or doctors only allowed to prescribe it later into treatment (or not at all in some cases), its criminal, and when you've seen someone saved by it, you've heard the difference in their voice hours after first dosage, its absolutely infuriating that anyone would take a single action against easy access to ivermectin and information about it. It has been researched for use as malaria treatment for decades, so it being safe for people to take isn't even in question whatsoever. If it in some way made the infection worse, that would already be clear in the studies that have been done. It should be available to anyone who wants it.
Alternatively, if you're not stuck on Linux, just install OpenBSD or NetBSD. Both will try to install X by default, but you can easily disable this in the TUI installers. After a reboot you'll go straight to a shell with very few daemons running (and certainly no systemd). Install the packages you need and start the daemons you need from there.

Imagine having the entire output of `top` fit in a terminal window with empty space at the bottom.
Sounds like the business wasn't willing to pay vital staff to be on call, so why should the worker have their life outside work be impacted without suitable compensation?

Having 24hr operations without adequate technical support is 100% the fault of management.

This is why on call exists. What if their worker had been drinking, or awake for 36 hours, but decided to head into the office to help out the team? There is plenty of caselaw on this very circumstance when people are killed or get arrested.

I agree "never" is too gloom and doom, but otherwise it's a realistic point of view. Covid is endemic and we should start treating it as such.

Acting as though we're going to eradicate it any day now is nonsensical. We'd need a global solution, a solution to animal reservoirs and a vaccine that isn't leaky. If and when we have a solution, then we should implement it. In the meantime, let's face it: It's endemic and it's time to go back to normal. Everyone, in the US at least, can get the vaccine if they want to reduce their risk.
Agreed. This proposal makes the Safari sandbagging even more apparent.
> I suspect the utility of a numpad is increased while the off center problems are decreased for touchtypers which is why there is such a divide.

Ah? I would have thought the opposite. I cannot touch-type at all (and you could promise me a million dollars reward, I still wouldn't manage), nevertheless there is one part of the keyboard I can use without looking, and it is the numpad. Possibly because it is a limited area with a limited number of keys, and the numbers are placed in a "logical" order (compared to letters on the main part of a keyboard).

I am bad at entering numbers on the top row, a I am forced to do on most laptops (and unfortunately, I personally find the pseudo-numpad, which requires using the Fn key or similar, utterly unusable; I never could get used to it).
The question is how do those loom threads map to OS threads. If blocking I/O calls aren’t parked on designated OS threads then other work on those OS threads can’t progress.
In the 70s USN subs had 4 accidents. There was three spills irradiated water and one contamination accident.

Russians have even more reactor years in submarines and icebreakers, and cargo ships. They have even floating nuclear power station. They have had two major reactor accidents (we know about).

Military reactors are expensive to operate even when they are quit safe. You need highly trained people 24/7.

You might want to add that concrete also significantly contributes to CO2 emissions - globally 8%!
This reminds me of SL-1, an experimental reactor that was meant to be used in the arctic circle. Part of the operation of the reactor required manually lifting a control rod a few inches out of the reactor. However, possibly just to see what would happen or as a suicide attempt, they removed the rod too far and the reactor immediately exploded and killed 3 operators. At least, those are some intriguing theories about why the control rod was removed too far, but in fairness we really don't know what they were thinking and it may have simply been a mistake. Although a properly trained operator mistakenly lifting a heavy control rod too far begs more explanation. Whatever the case, it is an intriguing story.

Rolling your own minimal embedded Linux is all cute fun. But what about maintaining it ?

Assuming you're not going to be rebuilding the whole lot manually each time, you're also going to have to go through the rather cute experience of building (and maintaining) your own automation tooling around maintaining your minimal embedded Linux.

If I were developing an embedded project, I don't know about you, but I would suggest focusing on the project itself might be a nice idea, not wasting time on things like a custom OS.

Custom OS is fine if you've got a large team working along side you. But if its a one-man-band (or small team) then all the cuteness will soon evaporate.

If you think all Linux distros are too bloated, why not go BSD instead ?

For example, OpenBSD is famous for a minimal default install, and guess what, they maintain ready-to-go builds for Pine 64/64+, Raspberry Pi 3 and Raspberry Pi 4.[1]

> If you're using flat media and rectilinear optics, shorter lenses get progressively less and less representative of human vision.

Below ~12mm, yes. 28mm is still a compromise between field of view and usability; even with a 21mm, I have to be right in front of someone for them to fill the frame, because I would have to do the same if I were looking at them with my own eyes.

> This is always true at every focal length. Your choice of composition informs the viewer whether it's a wide angle shot or super-telephoto.

"Lately I’ve been struck with how I really love what you can’t see in a photograph." - Diane Arbus.

Photography, with its receptiveness to stream-of-conscious approach and synchronous rearing with postmodernism, is an inherently subjective medium. Joel Meyerowitz, on his use of wide angle lenses, terms the explicit look-at-this approach as 'collecting' [1]. There are subgenres dedicated to not collecting, introducing ambiguity that invites the viewer to form their own interpretation of the recorded reality.

I took a walk this afternoon and looked at a tree ~5m away. I could visualize framing the trunk of the tree with a 50 or 75mm, but also noticed a child running towards the tree. The childless telephoto perspective would've been a more accurate representation of my subjective experience of focusing on the tree, but an objectively less accurate representation of what I was actually seeing in my field of vision. A tree-only photo tells you to look at the tree, whereas a wider perspective invites you to consider the relationship between the disparate elements. Meyerowitz also waxes poetically about this [ibid].

Again, the Ricoh GR and Leica Q, the most popular dedicated street/documentary cameras, have 28mm lenses, and the Fujifilm X100 a 35mm. Essentially all of the street photographers I've met internationally use either a 28mm or 35mm most of the time. There is a visceral you-are-right-there-in-the-moment feeling from looking at a wide angle photograph, especially when printed large, that simply cannot be reproduced with a normal-telephoto.

Largely Enterprises that had too much profit to care, or were controlled by a parent org with a tight leash on expense with no regard to product. Old-school businesses that had barely begun digital transformation. As long as they got their 2% growth YOY, there was no interest in closely tracking anything but the core BI metrics for growth and expense.

I would add that a/b and surveys are not good enough to identify customer pain and solve the problems they most want solved. There's a raft of feedback mechanisms that most Enterprises ignore because their products are so complicated that nobody wants to sit with the users and find new methods for continuous improvement. Agile/Lean/DevOps/SRE constantly emphasize quality and immediate halting of product work until bugs are fixed, yet no Enterprise I have ever heard of does this (even for reliability - one of the core metrics of any online product!)
That seems low for $350k, unless that excludes tax and insurance and a sizable down payment was made.

Sounds like leadership has their heads up their asses. In my experience, a startup that acts like this is either bound to fail or is secretly not a startup - like the one I interviewed with who were owned - and therefore beholden to the whims of - Big Industry Corp. They simply went out of their way to not tell anybody about it publicly.

Sounds like you dodged a bullet there.
Most of those I know of are very much not alone and rely on a massively alive biome they kinda claim for themselves where they are usually intimate with a ridiculous amount of animals and plants. Intimacy doesn't imply that you have to do it with another human, it's just a feeling of a barrier being lowered for you that wouldn't be someone else. Petting a car is intimacy. I'm not sure it's a universal need but I think most scholars that study "mental health" from different perspectives agree that for virtually all humans being deprived of that leads to suffering.
For lawyers they can only practice law in the states in which they have passed the bar in. So, it's even more restricted. If you want to practice in another state, then I think you need to take the bar for that state. It's a 3 day test.

I think you shouldn't read "considered disgusting" as "disgusting." If one religion in power starts exterminating a minority religion, that's at least hatred, if not disgust.

The "Red-pill" in the Matrix signifies an action which one cannot go back on. It is an action which requires the user to shatter their built-up version of reality forever (signified by the the blue-pills they have been taking all along).

We need more people to challenge their view of reality, and accept that things may not be as happy and comfortable as we want them to be for the security of our futures and our children's futures.

And no, I don't mean "global warming is destroying the ability for life to live" wise, I mean in terms of how much our politicians and public servants are truly serving us at this point. Voting for lifelong politicians more or less got us here, the red pill is accepting that these people may have always had more sinister plans in mind than we thought.

It's just an exclusivity clause. The employees and management willingly entered into a contractual agreement containing a provision that management ostensibly understood and then completely failed to account for.

If I sign an employment contract that explicitly says "I will be your exclusive provider of X service, I am not available on weekends", the employer shouldn't be surprised when I refuse to come in on Saturday and Sunday or sue them for breach when they hire a second service provider.

EU working with developer team in India. There are advantages and disadvantage -

* EU team (e.g. presales) are not available half the day to answer queries and this creates delays, but also forces people to write good tickets if they want anything done

* Conversely, even senior developer staff get half the day clear of meetings to do deep work or focus on internal meetings / mentoring

* Thankfully this team are mature adults, but I've seen an us and them thing develop between engineering and the rest of the company elsewhere. It's natural when everyone outside engineering is short term incentivised to downplay technical debt and such. If it can happen when everyone is in the same building, I can definitely see how easily it could happen if only engineering are sat together and all the evil product owners are just angry faces on a screen.
