I am just afraid that there is soon going to be a civil war inside the USA.
I was thinking about the sort of people who tend to create small communities out in Montana, not the modern preper movement. But a quick search shows me that the prepers have several forums and communities and the advice I saw was that you should form a close group of diverse talents and that there is safety in numbers, just be choosy of who you count in your number.
PostgreSQL is robust across a wide range of applications but it does have some architectural sharp edges that can cause serious operational problems in practice if you run into them. Most of these only show up at scale. Only a few do not have any viable workaround in practice.

The worst one, in my experience, is that the statistics collector is architecturally broken for some large tables, which can cause the query planner to go haywire. As a consequence, query performance can be erratic, varying by a couple orders of magnitude each time the table is analyzed. There are no workarounds in many cases, and the architectural defect that causes it is decidedly non-trivial to address (otherwise it would have been fixed years ago).

This is the only defect that consistently rears its head in operational environments in my experience. As data volumes grow, more Postgres instances are experiencing this problem. At a minimum there needs to be a way to easily override the query planner when it goes insane.

>The new law states social media platforms with more than 50 million users cannot ban people based on their political viewpoints.

With an exemption that large this doesn't seem too unreasonable. We don't let the phone company ban you for political speech in their platform (the phone call), do we?
It’s performance art by politicians. Playing to the rabid fringe, even though you know it’s all gonna get tossed. And when it does get tossed, that will enrage them more and you can squeeze them again for more donations.

Problem is, it manages to do some real damage and really hurt some people in the meanwhile.
I feel the same way after diving into the NVIM world a while ago. I put in the hours, spent like 10 hours trying to setup the environment to my liking, and ran into the same issues as you, autocomplete being a pain in the ass, having to figure out what these all plugins are etc..

But at least I found out I can just clone my vim plugins from git repositories with vim-plug, which was an improvement over my previous pathogen setup.

VSCode is just killing it with the feeling of having a complete setup and everything actually working, vs having to spend days figuring out how to setup a VIM environment these days.
Prob the best example is actually the Mona Lisa. A duplicate made at the same time, probably by a pupil, was discovered and shows how truly amazing the Mona Lisa could have been. The cloth actually looks translucent in the painting and the colors vibrant and cheerful.

That thing is ridiculous. Surely they build it in a different language and render the result as json.
It's not retroactive. It wasn't proscribed at the time Epic broke their contract so they still broke their contract.

I use an Android weather widget called Meteogram Pro. It supports pulling in and displaying METAR data, among a thousand other options.

You can make plots of things like thunderstorm probability, thickness and altitude of different cloud layers, azimuth and elevation for all planets in the solar system, pollen index, tide height, you name it.
It's fairly similar from what I've observed myself, but I'd say the ah-hah! moment for a given subject is not a singular event, but can be repeated if you look at the same subject from a different angle and get a different insight, deeper understanding of the solution or even of the problem. But maybe that's because learning in my case often is very much intertwined with trying to solve a problem.

And there's:

-1. Come across the solution by talking to people, reading books, articles, videos... long before actually needing it, sometimes not even being able to recall it in the next steps until the ah-hah! moment.

0. Have an actual need for that solution due to a problem you're trying to solve. And having that feeling of "there is a solution for this" but not being able to put your finger on it.

Talking to people helps a lot to speed up the process because everyone will have their own view on things which helps to shape your own understanding of the subject.

I feel a lot of this advice is only really actionable if there's trust on the other side for the other person to be comfortable with opening up to you, but also it automatically assumes the other person is in the wrong and this advice doesn't really encourage any kind of self reflection either. To know who is really in the wrong often requires readiness to self reflect and an external opinion who isn't likely to take sides.

I feel it might be best to hold off before giving your coworker unsolicited advice and counselling otherwise you run the risk of making things worse by coming off tone deaf, and in worst cases as trying to gaslight them.

A lot of the time you just need to accept you can't control how other people will react, most of the time you can't fix them, and it's not your job to (unless you're their manager lol). By that logic if you can't control their reactions, to the best of your ability don't let it dictate your mood too, otherwise you're letting them control your mood by proxy with their own behaviour
Should phone companies be able to ban people for their political opinions? ISPs? The water company? The electricity company? Why do they have to tolerate people using their services to push some political viewpoints?
Tor – The Dark Web Driver
The more worrisome "inversion of speech" would seem to be that institutions have the same free speech rights as humans.

Social media platforms are increasingly akin to the pubic forums of old, where essentially all meaningful exchange of ideas takes place — and where excommunication functions like "free speech zones" designed to marginalize and render the exercise of political expression inert.

I would suggest a relevant precedent might be laws limiting media ownership.

I'd also point out that institutions of a certain size exercise control over human in a similar way to governments — and the "private business" distinction becomes increasingly blurry when we consider how deeply these companies collide with law enforcement and govt agencies to censor information.

It's a complicated topic!

> I find it interesting that survivalist literature goes into so much detail on so many topics never seems to cover medical stuff. What do you do for birth control after the apocalypse? How can you make an antibiotic? How can you make an anesthetic?

I mean, you don't? One dude, a family, or even a small community cannot hope replicate all the stuff that comes from modern supply chains. Surviving a civilization-ending catastrophe would basically mean navigating the glide path down to a poor subsistence lifestyle that lacks a huge amount of technology we take for granted. People got by without that stuff for pretty much all of human history.

The best survivalist could probably do is compile traditional/herbal remedies that are at least somewhat effective, but there would still be huge gaps.

So

birth control: abstinence, keeping an unplanned baby, infanticide, or some herbal abortifacient.

antibiotics: hope you can fight off that infection or we'll have to amputate

anesthetic: alcohol or a stick in the mouth

True. I can completely relate with this. I developed an open source crypto exchange connector [0] and created a fun twitter bot [1] on top of that. Currently twitter bot processes all the USDT market trades from Binance (around 260 markets with average 30,000 trades per minute) and calculates OHLC metrics every 15 minutes using InfluxDB. All these installations and calculations are done in a free tier 1 VCPU / 1 GB RAM AWS server (less than 10% CPU and less than 40% RAM usage always).

Yes. Simply reading the official documentation (not the raw api-reference) is often underrated. Doing this avoids getting trapped in some third party blog or tutorial where the author completely misunderstood the topic, explains some old version, adds more dependencies than needed, or don't use best practices of the tool (W3Schools anyone?). Offical docs often have more explanation of the internal architecture and not just a cookie-cutter template to follow. Finally it eventually helps you get more acquainted with the official api reference which you are more likely to need in the future.

It can be quite daunting at first though. My strategy lately for this is

1) Accept that the documentation is big and will require some dedicated time for reading, not just a 10min elevator-pitch-tutorial between two meetings.

2) Skim through the table of contents, then continue reading the first paragraph of ALL pages and give each page glance. Write notes on which pages that you need to read and now and which ones you can save until you are web-scale. This step is important before you really start reading. It will teach you which topics that are important and give you a sense of exactly how much you need to learn, see it as some kind of internal progress-bar. You will also categorize which topics requires trying things out hands-on vs which topics you can bring to the tablet and read on the bus.

This step also helps you avoid traps you might end up in when reading things in order like "Congratulations for finishing tutorial 1, this was actually the old deprecated way of doing things, in tutorial 2 we will show the new better way of doing things and you will now truly understand the beauty of this improved design., or missing the last page on important security differences between debug and production mode.

3) Read. Now that you know the important topics and you've allow yourself to just sit down and just read them top to bottom. Allow jumping between topics if you get stuck somewhere. Set up a local environment to try things out on the way, confirm your assumptions, otherwise read more about that topic. Check the api reference if there are classes not described in the topics and figure out why.

From here you can transition more and more into innovative exploration and implementation of what you want to create, only reaching for the docs when you get stuck.
So how do you combine learning by writing and the more conventional learning by reading?

I've found that "does that make sense?" only works when the other party is humble and confident enough to say "no". This is rare when you are in an "authority" position (e.g.: teacher, boss) or with certain kinds of people.

Some strategies that worked better for me are:

- To ask them to rephrase/re-explain. This is best when the other party tends to get the general idea but misses key details. You can then fill these key details into their explanation, and they will stick much better.

- To formulate follow-up questions. This is best to explore whether they got the general idea right. If they do, they will be able to infer some simple conclusions/consequences of what you just explained.

- To get them to finish the next sentence. This is best to pace yourself during the explanation itself. When they can't see what comes next, it should either be an important revelation or you are going too fast.

In this case both ends are you. You could back up on one phone and restore on another.

You're right that "E2E" is slightly ambiguous. But "encryption at rest" is even worse in my opinion, since it could just mean that Apple/Google's datacenters have disk encryption with a key they can access.
Whats interesting about this entire theory is that so many people involved in the art world have a vested interest in disproving/disparaging the idea. The closer art gets to paint by numbers, or an otherwise mechanical process, like a very large set of pixels, the less impressive, and therefore less valuable the art becomes. And who wants that?

But Tim's Vermeer makes extremely some compelling arguments about how certain features present in The Music Lesson would be impossible to recreate by eyesight alone, yet were trivial using the optical device.

Finally, if the painting is photorealistic, and the actual room was arranged like it is in the painting, isn't composition at least partially a property of the room itself?
True, that's an issue - maintaining the wrapper library and keeping featuring parity with native UI features is a cumbersome task and many do fall behind in that. I think most wrapper libraries are still on GTK2, and perhaps working on GTK3. That said, wrapper libraries do help you make it much easier to develop for multiple platforms with one core code base. The final work of tweaking and customising for each OS, before distribution, is true even if you build the product with the native OS frameworks. (Some compromises will ofcourse have to be accepted.)
Any technique, Tech you could say, is just a tool. In the right hands you can be a master. In the wrong hands any tool, no matter how amazing, will be disastrous.
> You’re talking about turning desktop apps into phone apps.

It definitely isn't easy.

You can't even comprehend why it's a fiasco.

> It’s arguable whether this is a good thing or not, but that’s exactly where desktop software is going, likely to reduce clutter.

It's not "reducing clutter". It's people who spend most of their lives on the phone not understanding how desktop software works and its requirements. You are a prime example of one such person.

> Of course you can expand menus and such depending on your platform

There's no easy way to "just expand the menus". Then you either get a bad experience on the small screen or a bad experience on the big screen, because requirements are completely different.

why is that bad writing advice? I would expect that consistently developing the writing every day (aka, 3000 words per day) will lead to some results - of course, you'd still have to edit, rearrange, and cut at some point in the future (e.g., after the "full" novel is completed, you'd go back and repeatedly change and cut, until it's a good novel).

True, contracting often has a shorter hiring time, and less job security. The risk is not much lower, though. Companies that hire freelancers expect immediate results. If you can’t deliver right away you’re not going to get training or hand-holding. There’s no shortage of people who know Javascript and a little Python. Companies want to hire people who can solve problems and add value, not copy/paste from Stack Overflow.

The large majority of programmer jobs in the US are at-will, meaning the employer can terminate at any time for any (or no) reason. Even in jurisdictions that aren’t at-will you won’t get paid during the months or years trying to sue.

Yes and crossing language families often results in words your native language thinks of as atomic being divided into multiple more specific concepts (or vice versa). For example Japanese has no word for foot- they just say leg and use context to infer what part is meant. On the other hand they have 3 words for specific parts of the back/hip area we would usually just call back or lower back in English. This kind of thing causes no end of confusion.
