Sounds like you're describing the word "Negro" as a [scapegoat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scapegoat): it was cast as a symbol of evil so that it could be canceled as such.

I guess that's a way to see the basic tension there: some folks might argue that using scapegoats can help society move on, while others might object on the basis that the goat wasn't actually evil.

Alternatively, we can see switching away from the word "Negro" as a rebranding effort, to retire prior literature and reduce historical associations.

Either way.. I guess that what can seem weird about such social-engineering maneuvers is that they don't make any sense if we assume that people are ideal logical-thinkers; mechanically, they're more like side-channel attacks or emotional manipulation. And.. I guess folks might vary in how agreeable they might find well-intentioned emotional-manipulation.
Had several requests lately for the exact opposite pattern — migrating bloated Next.js projects to vanilla React SPAs.

Razzle[0] seems like a workable alternative if you need static exports for optimizations such as link unfurling. Still looking for something that isn't based on Webpack (ideally esbuild or swc)— would appreciate links in replies.

Hm, I wish I knew how I did my math originally... you seem to be quite right.
Very cool concept.
I probably spent multiple thousand Euros on software that I had previously used dubious copies of.

My reasons:

- I could now afford it

- I earned money with it

- The new version of the software had some great feature that the old pirated version didn't have
By this logic, doctors should treat suicide attempts as if they're already dead. If you take an entire bottle full of pills to suicide, it's clearly wrong medical treatment.

How about if you drink a case of beer and then get in a car and crash it into a tree, ending up half dead?

Tell us, who should be denied treatment because of their choices?
Yeah, there’s no way I’d value a private pension as worth more than $0. That requires orders of magnitude more trust in for profit corporations than I actually have.

With the government I’m confident that they’ll pay, I’m just not confident I personally would be willing to deal with it for 2-3 decades.

Well it wasn't down for me.

But even it was really down it wont be their first time with capacity problem. Unlike ServeTheHome where they host and even assemble their own Server, I think Anandtech's team are now simply a content writer with Future Publishing handling everything on the hosting and software side along with Ads.

But yes I think there is something very wrong with current trend of Web Development.
I am afraid they can not even if all their top heads decide so.

Governments saw it can be done, so there is no reason Apple won’t do it for them.

China&co probably already busy writing laws mandating on-device scanning of all media and messages for anything remotely matching Winnie-The-Pooh.

Apple won’t have a choice when it is a law of land. They can’t quit China.
This is the CiA. Hands up!
I too love ublock but your statement just smacks of stupidity. I don't want a mainstream browser to be so opinionated as to take it upon itself to block various domains. And the meme of calling everything you don't like "absolutely insane"... Take that shit back to Reddit imo
The light is fundamental... without particles bouncing between planetary bodies there would be nothing keeping them in sync.

Thought experiment: imagine a box through which 0 information passes; no light, heat, radio waves nothing. There’s a clock in the box. Does the clocks progress reflect the progress of time outside the box?

No, because time is based on causality and in space that’s propagated largely by massless particles.

So people don't want to take the vaccine because it was supposedly not tested thoroughly on humans, but they're willing to take livestock dewormer which is well known to be toxic at these doses?

I 100% agree with your assessment. I've thought the same thing for a while. The downfall of the West is already a foregone conclusion purely from demographics. CCP's hardline on reversing the inverted pyramid trend will catapult it as indisputable leader within the next 20-30 years.
come on... that's cleary not what he said. why are you making comments like this putting words in the commenters mouth.
"Pynt" feels like a missed opportunity for a lovely pun
I just wish that they'd add a text or symbol in the top of the global and local dynamic filtering boxes. Every single time that I use it I have to look up which one's which, because it isn't obvious and I can't remember.
Apple is not a slave to or victim of their own policy. I feel like a browser is an important and unique enough piece of software that they could choose to make an exception, but obviously it doesn’t fit their business goals which appear to essentially the same as what Microsoft was thinking with Internet Explorer 6.
Doctors are already refusing patients that refuse the COVID vaccine.

My mother, who works at hospital, was told due to her age that if there was a choice between her and a younger patient, the younger patient would get the bed/oxygen. She was told this long before the COVID vaccine was released in 2020.

The CDC and more are already reaching out urging people not to take a horse deworming medication. They do not listen. They believe whatever is shared by their friends on social media and right wing media over medical professionals.

At what point do you prioritize treatment for those who do nothing of their own fault over those who deliberately ignore medical advice and harm themselves with a horse medication?

My opinion: the ER should have started turning them away a long before they had to refuse treatment to others.

Edit:

Missed the part where the above top parent wrote which I do not agree with: 'Their genes need to be taken out of the gene pool.'

How else do you interpret this?

> the dead get a black tag, so subsequent first responders know they are a waste of time to treat a dead person, and they can tell just by looking at the tag. In the same way, we should give those taking ivermectin a black tag

I've built my home NAS years ago using a Ultron RPS19-G3380 case and a Atom D410 mainboard, system is embedded XigmaNAS (formerly NAS4Free), and I wouldn't change it for any ready made solutions. It boots from a USB key direclty inserted on the mainboard and works flawlessly since day one. Max uptime is over 2 years, and I had to turn it off for scheduled maintenance. Other than disk and system upgrades, it doesn't need much attention from the user; mine is on a 2.5 meters high shelf and had to move it down once in years to upgrade to XigmaNAS and bigger disks.
Admittedly I didn't test it for power consumption which I believe would be slightly worse than most similarly specced ARM boards, but sadly ARM support is still a work in progress so I have to stick to x86.

> What are some caveats that I should avoid?

Be very careful about SATA connectors: they're among the worst piece of junk ever designed and have an extremely low guaranteed life (literally dozens of operations, not thousands), therefore, don't think of drive bays and especially desktop "toasters" as something in which drives can be inserted and pulled every day; that would be a solution for defective contacts and data loss. Been there, done that. Twice.

> Can I trust the 'standard' companies (Synology, QNAP, Seagate, ...) to keep my data sufficiently safe?

I guess so, although sometimes there are stories about newly discovered vulnerabilities. It's also possible malicious hackers would rather direct their attack on well known products than home built systems, but that doesn't mean nobody is attempting to target our NASes.
I don't have any experience with those brands, however.

As for the rest, I was also following the Helios64 project which seemed really intriguing, albeit it meant moving from *BSD to Linux (actually I am a Linux user, although I like more BSD solutions for NAS servers and firewalling). Unfortunately the project died. It's FOSS, though, hardware and software so hopefully someone will take over development and production. https://kobol.io/
I propose that you prove it - change a long-held, core belief that you hold, and earnestly adopt its antithesis.

Religion is a protected class, based on exactly this sort of “mutable” attribute.

Oh, and the prevailing opinion in the US seems to be that gender is in fact similarly mutable.
The issue is that triaging can be done when a new ER room opens up but you cannot easily throw out people already getting treatment because someone else comes in with a more serious issue.
Multiple event loop integration is something projects get to very late in their lifecycle, if they ever get to it at all. Tokio is no exception: https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/issues/2443

When I used to write more networking C code, I used to be careful to write my libraries to be event loop agnostic. And if my library had its own event loop, I made sure that it could be stepped independently so it could sit atop another application event loop. This is alot easier on modern Unix systems because kqueue and epoll can be stacked--you can poll a kqueue/epoll descriptor from another kqueue/epoll descriptor, so sockets, timers, etc registered with the first will bubble up to the parent and your library-specific event loop can just export a single file descriptor to be polled by another event loop.[1] Windows doesn't have such a capability so there's no simple way to bubble events.

Of course, you can run your different event loops in different threads, but then you have to deal with the nightmare of shared data multithreading. Rust makes multi-threading "fearless" because it heavily restricts multiple threads from holding references to the same object, so Rust doesn't help in this regard, especially considering you're integrating with non-Rust code and, worst of all, GUI APIs, which tend to be some of the most inscrutable and hostile code with which to integrate.

[1] This is effectively structured concurrency as a first-class kernel interface, an elegant characteristic of kqueue and epoll that is sorely underappreciated and rarely used.
Yandex Browser on Android [which is based on Chrome] supports Chrome extensions. I'm running it with uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger and a few others. If an extension won't load directly from the Chrome Webstore you can toggle 'Developer Mode' under 'chrome://extensions' and load the downloaded and unpacked CRX directly.
Coming from a technical background I’m still dumbfounded that this exists. I actually think that the need for algorithmic transparency will result in some industry body that audits closed source code, db schemas and infra/architecture and provides a public rating system.. I’d love to see that.

Edit: typo
I think if someone chooses to poison themself, they should be triaged below someone who didn't choose to poison themselves, should the need to triage patients occur.
> Repos are no better than walled gardens except that they are typically maintained by unpaid third parties

It's a garden alright but there is no wall. I've made packages out of my own programs and installed them on my system. Arch Linux literally has a repository of user packages.

> Said unpaid third parties sometimes introduce bugs or arbitrary changes to the software

Yeah. Debian is famous for their patching. Not all distributuons do this though. Arch Linux offers unpatched software.

> You can't install applications to different disks or have multiple versions of the same application

I don't get the multiple disks thing. Personally I want to virtualize disks away into a single magical root file system. Do you mean like portable Windows applications? That's possible, but would require a lot more static linking than distributions are comfortable with.

Windows makes this easy because the application's directory is magically added to the library search path. Applications can just dump all their DLLs into the same folder as the EXE and it will work. They essentially statically link their dynamic libraries. Users end up with tons of duplicated DLLs, distributions don't like that.

Multiple versions of applications and libraries is technically possible, some distributions have attempted this. Most reject this idea because it would increase maintainer workload.

> Copying applications from one computer to another is massively complicated because most package managers never consider this use case at all

This use case is strange to me as well. When I set up a new computer with Linux, I download the applications from the repository.

> Package managers encourage the kind of interdependency hell and reliance on fixed paths that makes them necessary in the first place

Yes. Linux users and distribution maintainers usually look at the operating system like a complete system, not just a support layer for applications. When maintainers package software, they integrate the software's parts into the overall system, every file in its proper place, every link is maintained. I believe this is cultural.

> The proliferation of package formats and package managers has made packaging binaries for Linux an incredible pain in the ass

It's better to just release your software. The community will package and integrate it for you if there's enough demand.

Alternatively, I've found that Arch Linux packages are really easy to create. Just one simple shell script and there's plenty of documentation and examples online. I just ignore all the other distributions.
I recently discovered that it also acts as a great anti-productivity page blocker. Simply add your top social and news addiction pages to the blacklist and you’re set.

I use Firefox only for work, which has helped me immensely to stay focused and not “just quickly check hacker news for the tenth time in an hour” (as much as I like to ;)).
You may cheer this on because it aligns with you politics but you are being very short sighted as to how this will all turn out. Chemical weapons always sound like a good idea until the wind changes. In 2001 Republicans cheered on the Patriot act because they thought it would only be used against their enemies. 15 years later those same surveillance laws were used to spy on and undermine the Republican presidential candidate.

Are you really certain your interests will always align with those of mega corporations?

This article doesn't provide much context on the challenges of the building's architecture.

If the exterior[1][2] did not give any indication, the inside is quite difficult to navigate. Unless you're a grad student who lives and breathes this building (where most of the EECS department is located), you'd better allocate 10 minutes to finding the professor's office you intend to visit. I can't find great pics of the interior (only some floor plans[3][4]), but there's a variety of confusing stair cases, open atrium's spanning multiple floors, irregular floor plans and office layouts, and an abundance of cluttered spaces. No good flat surface goes unused.

I'd never considered that it would be impossible to provide comprehensive 2.4GHz coverage because of graph coloring problems. The point about certain 5GHz channels being effectively unreliable due to radar was also an interesting insight I'd never heard before.

For a while I made snarky comments about how dumb people are doing doing this. But now I just think it's sad. I saw this tweet by someone in the UK the other day, stating that we wouldn't be having this situation if we had free, accessible healthcare. People don't go to doctors for years so they don't have anyone they can trust for medical advice and turn to crazy internet snake oil, because they lack the education to vet their sources.

Debian still has an unofficial 32-bit powerpc port, just doesn't have security supported releases of the port.
Sorry, but calling it "horse deworming medication" is inflamatory, not to mention incorrect. [1]

Ivermectin has been approved by the FDA for human usage. [1] Claiming ivermectin is a drug for animals exclusively is a falsehood.

Is ivermectin known to cure or heal COVID? Absolutely unproven. But your misrepresentations are just as bad as anyone claiming it's a COVID miracle cure.

Stop fighting misinformation with misinformation, you're not better than them. You're lying.

There’s a huge distance between triage when resources are limited and refusing to treat patients. Many health issues are self-inflicted through poor lifestyle habits despite patients knowing better.
Both your point and the article one are valid. Your point reflects the reality of the market while the article correctly states that the most important skill of a software engineer is the ability to learn quickly (built on top of a solid background of computer science fundamentals). Most of today's new things are in fact just evolutions of old concepts slightly revised and adapted.

Unfortunately the market is more driven by the latest FAD rather than rationality. I am of the opinion that the main responsables are WE, the software engineers. I have seen several times that SE in a position of influence will sistematically go for the latest FAD rather than make a rational choice (which in most of the cases IS the "boring stack") for the sole purpose of pumping-up their CVs. At the same time this is allowed by lack of competence and governance on the IT by the business.
The bottom line is that our entire sector instead of progressing by leaps and bouds keeps on continuosly reinventing the wheel and makes only very small incremental changes and adaptations. The innovation and progresses in productivity that we had in the last decade pale with respect to the one that we had , just for example, in the nineties and are mostly due to an increase in processing power. And there is still much to be discovered: our sector is still very immature. In some way some of the experimental development environments that were available in the eighties were more advanced than what we have today.

Even if I am not a Ruby user and so my judgement could be superficial I have the impression that in the last two decades the only community that has consistenly tried trying to challenge the status quo and really improve productivity for our profession is in fact Ruby community.

Are we living in the same Idaho? The governor just activated the national guard. We only have 4 ICU beds left in the entire state as of three days ago. Just today, we had more covid cases than in April, May, and June 2020 combined.

“Well-armed-and-free”? Things aren’t “normal” here. Our hospitals are barely able to function because this state is full of chucklefucks who think everything is a conspiracy.

This isn’t freedom. This is stupidity.

A simple flock doesn't always work all that well - the devil is in the details. And there is the issue that you miss a run of the script and have to wait another half hour for the next run.

I mean it sucks, but your boss gave you solid advice: If you are looking to get promoted internally in a massive technical bureaucracy, one of the best things you can do is get an external offer.
Here's an interesting thought experiment for anyone who disagrees that the proposed system is problematic.

Let's say the police installs a new device in your house. This device could be capable of seeing or hearing anything that happens in your entire home. However, the police claim that the device is only watching a specific door in your house and forwarding encrypted low resolution photos to their servers "just in case" some criteria is met and they need to take a look. Nevermind that it would only take a policy change and an OTA update that you have no visibility into, or chance of blocking, before it's watching your entire house in real-time and sending practically anything to their servers. After all, they did release a carefully worded statement regarding what the device supposedly does.

But hey, you have several other doors to enter or exit your house from so what's the big deal right? You could seal that door and never be subjected to the system _as advertised_.

Would you trust the police in that scenario, regardless of whether you have anything to hide?
Rural Oklahoma is full of Republicans, someone working for the hospital could easily expose this if it were false and Fox News would be all over it.

That’s actually a pretty compelling idea. Not necessarily the alternative policing part (private police?), but compiling hard evidence against offenders and handing that to the authorities.
The only answer is there's no guarantees, and Caveat Emptor.

One of the worst offenses is the one we're discussing in this thread: a HM or recruiter says "We're slotting you at level 4 instead of level 5, because we like to give employees room to grow." That's a BS line -- put me in at 5 and grow me to 6, then! If you hear this line, you just need to understand it's poppycock and make a decision from there.

But basically everything a hiring manager says about a position can turn out to be just wishful thinking on their part:

* The team is most likely not solving a big problem

* The company most likely does not work well together

* The position problem does not have huge room to grow
