I was going to post this, but couldn't have said it better.

The stakes of a job are quite a bit higher in the US, and it goes beyond healthcare.

The quality of a great many social foods in the US, from primary schooling to transit access and many others, are governed by your job. The social safety nets that exist kick in only at the extremes, of destitution (Medicaid) or age (Medicare).
You could just have a few key SWE/SREs go on a strike - I doubt that's illegal.

Not that I think that's what's happening. The most likely explanation is that some systems still haven't fully recovered from the major outage.
I've always kept a script like this on my computer, but the idea of "optimized" is very subjective, volatile, and prone to change. Also, that was a reason why I ditched libvirt, because once its internal change impacted the performance on my side. There's just no correct answer here.

Certainly, however, this can be handy if one needs to quickly spin up something.
If a drone is damaged while surveilling you and you don't turn it in, they will deduct points from your social credit.

Right. I just wanted to check what's my current version first. I went Hamburger -> Help -> About Firefox, which prompted the browser to automatically download and install version 93.

Please elaborate.

I understand certain terms (such as saying you can't hit the server more often than a reasonable amount), but much beyond that I push back. If the laws allow them to make such all encompassing demands of how I use their product, well, laws can be changed, and I vote.
I for one would really like to see more action-bias in the world about me, & less zen / uninvested / amotivated.

Computers are fascinating as heck & we have so much to do. Abiding by the non-weird people who don't see this as the most interesting, fascinating, richly-interesting field, playing by their rules, giving them endless comfort space & grace, being zen about it all... it's boring. It's less than I want to see for humankind.

I find it hard to figure out how the two sides tolerate each other better. Your own phrasing of "I'd be interested to hear the perspective of the people left in your wake" is how I think the overwhelming amount of people feel & see motivated individuals, is what gets thought about them. I try to be sympathetic & helpful & meet people where they want, but I feel like the "normal" behavior to deal with weird people is to be silently pissy & angry & unhelpful & isolate them, to hold them in contempt of normality for their urges to be a bit extra. I don't see a lot of bidirectional sympathy, a lot of recognition that mismatched motivations are a two way street, are a bidirectional issue. And I see a lot of assumptions that the extra behavior is almost always problematic & troublesome.
A much easier process would be unionization, and they haven't even done that.
> apfelkorn is basically apple juice fortified with grain spirit

Here in the Upper Midwest (Minnesota, Wisconsin, etc), there is a similar beverage called Apple Pie that's made with sweet apple cider, high-proof alcohol like Everclear and other flavorings. It's dangerously delicious: the apple flavor masks the alcohol, leading people to drink far more than they realize.

Since the area has a high number of people descended from German immigrants, your post has me wondering if that's where it originated.

> Yours is typical wealthy person thinking, but people on more modest incomes find it hard to make up front capital purchases.

Making the overall cost lower causes things to be more affordable. Up front cost is solved by installment plans.

> The economics of consoles work for several reasons. One is the person buying the console often isn’t the person buying the games.

All of these people are generally on good terms with each other. So now the parents and the uncle go in together on the console with the parents using some of the money they're saving because the games now cost less. Or the uncle buys the generation N console on an installment plan and the parents, having saved money on games all through generation N, use it to buy the generation N+1 console instead of the uncle.

> Pushing more of the cost into the games means they can easily scale their spending to match their current circumstances.

This is possible regardless. If you have less money, you have either a PlayStation or an Xbox instead of both. If you have less money than that, you have the previous generation for longer. And then the games cost less so you get more of them.

Having half as many consoles with twice as many games is a good deal.

> The net result would be a crash in console sales that benefits nobody.

When the total cost goes down, people generally buy more of a thing.
> extensions might need to [...] not depend on reaching into internals they shouldn't touch

Is that the problem? I thought I read somewhere that the C/C++ extension API would have to be broken to allow for removing the GIL, for example. The API, not just internals that shouldn't be touched by user code.

If it were only a rebuild, I don't think anyone would object; pip packages are built once per Python version anyway. Breaking the API would be a different story for libraries that make heavy use of C++ extensions.
Maybe, but who dreams about envelopes? Yet society would fall apart without someone making them. The same can be said for the vast majority of things most companies make - it needs to be made, but it is in reality boring.

All companies have interesting problems to solve along the way. But most have boring products. I can work for most companies because even though the product is boring I know I will find something interesting. (the exceptions are companies doing something I find immoral)
I made no claim that every OS has a heap. Every OS does manage memory, and use memory.

"I have no interest in setting up a bunch of engineering equipment to listen to a bunch of 60-70 year olds broadcast their uncensored perspective on things."

That was my take on it, too. I have one cheap Chinese radio in a box somewhere, but I got rid of all of my decent radios a few years back. I can just imagine what our local repeater devolved into during the Trump years. :/

The once-a-month meeting at the Village Inn was filled with laments about how there were no young people involved, but the repeater was filled with conversation that no young people would possibly want to be a party to.

I've discovered that it's unpopuler to point this out, but a big problem with amateur radio as a hobby is the current hobbyists involved.
Who Keeps Snapping Up US Debt?
Aggregate US educational spending across federal, state, and local governments has been higher than DoD (plus DoE) spending for as long as I can remember.
> But often the reason is to ensure value can be extracted from users (e.g. serving ad impressions) or the power that can be exerted over users.

Yeah, I assume this is the most common reason. This needs to be fought on principle. It doesn't matter what their terms and conditions say. It doesn't matter how much money they lose. We should always have full control. We should be able to block their advertising. We should be able to automate our browsers. We should be able to turn our user agents into cyberweapons against them.

This is legitimate self defense against their abuse. We're talking about a company that gets people addicted to bullshit feeds so they can make money by showing ads. Of course an "unfollow all" button is necessary. They won't provide one because they want us addicted to their feed. So we'll provide one for them.

People spend their days on social media because they're addicted to it. If a browser extension can somehow help people break free, it's objectively a good thing for humanity. If this world was just, courts would rip Facebook a new one if they dared to waste their time with this stuff.

Quite a lot. Social capital. Culture. About a hundred other things.

A set of concepts popularized goes under the names of cycle of poverty, culture of poverty, and generational poverty. Simply being poor seems less predictive of outcomes than multiple generation being poor. If your parents, your grandparents, and your great grandparents were poor, it's very difficult to break out.

In this case, "culture" isn't a euphemism for laziness or something crass like that; for example, there's a certain body of knowledge that goes with knowing how to move into the middle class. If no one in your family has that, it's very, very hard. That goes for everything from knowing what's required to apply for college, to knowing how much you're expected to learn when, to having the background to know how to support your kids' schooling.

Intervention programs which provide that background are effective. Even something as simple as letting parents know to read to little kids, how to make sure kids do homework, what supports are available, etc. Beyond that, having a guidance counselor who can let you know what schools you're likely to get into, what you need to apply, and what is and isn't appropriate to have in an admissions essay. These things aren't rocket science, but if neither you nor anyone around you has done them, they're very, very hard.

Your comment describes my perspective almost to a T. I used to put a lot of stock in the idea of retiring early and then being free to do whatever I wanted, but what I want is to build interesting things as a team, i.e., exactly what I have always done.

I think many people are trapped by this dream of attaining financial freedom so they can escape work, but in a way that is a cynical take because it presumes that if you are getting paid to do something then it must be something bad that you wouldn't do otherwise.

Such a mindset is unfortunate because harbouring escapist fantasies is a really good way to undermine one's ability to find the joy in what they "have" to do. I spent over a decade not realising that I wasn't suffering from work, but from my hangups about work.

My advice to those who hate not only their job but any conceivable job, and who nonetheless have a job, is to get as good an understanding about why that is as possible. Reflect on it. Try moving around and changing your environment. Try different jobs. Try jobs that have one redeeming thing about them and seem awful in other ways.

The goal isn't to find the perfect job, i.e., the one that fits all your preconceived notions of what you want out of life, but rather to develop an understanding of what your assumptions are and where they come from. It is a useful mindset to be open-minded about what you really want and how you might get that.
If Coinbase employees didn't feel they can weigh in on what their health insurance should cover, I would certainly agree that's a problem, but I'd be very surprised if that's the case. Armstrong's announcement acknowledged that there will be some cases where political engagement is inevitable because it intersects with the company's business. Remember that this position came in direct response to an incident where Coinbase employees demanded that the company publicly endorse a specific political slogan on the topic of police brutality - regardless of how blurry the line is in general, I hope we can agree that Coinbase's business doesn't have much to do with the police.
Yeah, if I spent significant time outside of cell range, I'd probably carry a real satellite phone or maybe one of the satellite communicators that let you send txt messages. Right now I just carry a personal locator beacon in case of emergency.

I've been on the wait list for StarLink for 6 months, like you, I'm still hoping for the RV dish.
Interesting! But isn't betting is a zero sum game? Betting on apples means some lose and some win, but the world is not better off as a result, because they cancel out.

Or that is my understanding.
There absolutely was a navy, initially composed of retrofitted merchant ships, and most definitely made in what would become the USA. Not to downplay the importance of the French Navy, or the French involvement in the war in general, but even France seized ships from the Continental Navy, before they finally became involved directly, many years after the Continental Navy formed in 1775.

And something tells me there was much parlaying from Franklin and Silas Deane when it came to trade partnerships between the future country and France for natural resources - France's own forests were and are somewhat decimated.
I am as appalled by the mandatory vaccination push as the next guy. That being said, all the data I've seen shows that the risk of covid complications is significantly higher than the risk of covid vaccine complications. If the fear of vaccine adverse effects is the only thing that keeps you from getting a vaccine, consider getting the vaccine.
Can you elaborate on how Airbyte makes things easier for a user? Would love to pick up any potential improvements in Debezium itself, so that all its users get to benefit from them, rather than only users of a specific integrator like Airbyte.

Of course it is if they're going to embrace the very industry they proclaim to be fighting against.

He defined mission-focused in the original memo pretty clearly and succinctly.

> What is the scope of our mission?

> Coinbase’s mission is to create an open financial system for the world. This means we want to use cryptocurrency to bring economic freedom to people all over the world. This is difficult and important work, and every employee at Coinbase signed up because they are excited about this mission.

It's not operating with total blinders on the wider world, becoming profitable as a startup often requires having a vision of positively changing the world. Armstrong wants people who care about the mission quoted above, period. There are people who are passionately committed to this, yet have totally different opinions on abortion, marginal tax rates, racial politics, bail reform. There's no reason to think you can predict any of these for an individual based on adherence to the mission statement.

Achieving change on the one thing that matters to everyone also requires that you have viewpoint diversity on the things that don't, because your current and potential customer base sure does. To the extent that mission creep enforces conformity across a range of issues, you narrow the range of people who would be comfortable working at your company to an increasingly small pool, and you limit access to the sort of insights that lead to a better product.

The alternative is to have separate pillow companies for conservatives and liberals, which is ridiculous.
It is up to Facebook to use both technical means and enforceable contract law to draw lines around how their service can be used, the same way it is up to any of us to do the same with services we stand up on the Internet.

There are limits to both tools, and legislatures can enact new restrictions in response to public demand. But none of that is in play in this story.

If the argument upthread was "we should demand laws that prevent Facebook from locking out extensions to their platform", I wouldn't have a rebuttal (I might or might not support those restrictions). But the sarcastic dunk that was actually made, that it was somehow ridiculous that Facebook would have some say over the terms of how their platform was used, was weird and worth commenting on. It's not only not ridiculous, but actually the world as it exists today.

In 2017 I had someone call me and say "the system's broken". I knew who it was, but didn't know what they were referring to. Turns out it was a web application I'd put together in 2003. 14+ years later, it wasn't working, and... they needed help.

I went spelunking a bit in my own code, cursing the jerk who built some of it, praising the genius who put in other parts, remembering cutting certain corners to get home for dinner on time, etc.

Having to support anything 10-15-20 years down the line gives you a different perspective on maintenance and simplicity that I don't think you can quite ever really comprehend beforehand.
And their responses have aged brilliantly to boot.
I have experienced the same, though I’ve done less visual comparisons. Comparing % quality like-for-like between webp and avif, on average avif files are slightly larger than webp counterparts.

Things didn’t materially improve when using high compression (slow) encoding settings. Could have been a bad encoder (libavif iirc)— there might be an explanation but on the face of it I saw worse performance than webp.

> This thread's extensive non-quantitative usage from many people is evidence of that.

Even putting aside comments like mine complaining about the actual number, this thread's extensive use of 10x to mean as many different things is a good reason to avoid the term altogether. The whole thread is just "10x programmers don't exist because X" and "10x programmers exist because Y", where X and Y are unrelated.

> "10x manager"

All but one of the links in the first page were in the context of SW, or written by people in the SW industry. Many of them explicitly pointed out they derived the phrase from 10x developer.

I cannot count this as an independent use of 10x.

> "10x author"

Written by a tech guy.

> 10x <various_nouns>" : https://www.hugo.team/10x

Written by a guy who started a SW company.

Sad, but fair enough.

It sounds like 10x is the equivalent of putting 2.0 on everything (and also as meaningless).

The only downside of this approach is that you can't pass a dynamic string giving details on the error, but that's because Rust's enums are not powerful enough to express this (as opposed to Kotlin or Java).
For #1, I try to pick a task that's closely related to the main task at hand. I think related tasks can help retain focus rather than losing it by shifting gears.

For example, while my code is compiling, I might think through the specific steps I'm going to take to try it out when I run it here in a minute. Or try to plan out the next change I'm going to make to the code if this current code works. Or start a list of some unit tests I need to add.
The anti-vaccination movement predates theosophy and is as old as vaccination itself. There is some overlap in membership, but it is a historical error to see it as an offshoot of theosophy.
Why does WebKit perform poorly on Windows?

Home suburban gardening is quite different from providing ~2000 calories per person per day for a family. Depending on the source, I found a figure of 5-10 acres per person needed for a year's food (for a 100% vegetarian diet, no livestock). So for a family of 4, you'd be looking at 20 acres or so, minimum, which is approximately 1000x1000 feet.

For socialists it's never enough, money has to be taxed 10 times. And I'm not using it in the slur way that Americans usually do.
There's a kind of thinking that believes that money belongs to the person who earned it. There's another kind of thinking that treats everything as communal (but managed by elite class at the top of the system), taking anything away from the pile is evil then.
Yes, I understand each providers standard is different - and I agree that would be a real mess to wrangle.

What I am wondering is are there any tools that use these APIs that have built-in support for multiple provider APIs ? Or does every tool that (helps you manage or download issues, etc.) just built for a particular provider ?

Thanks.
Thank you. That is good work.
Right, my question though is the small risk of the vaccine worth it if you already have good immunity from a previous infection?

Personally I think that's up to the individual to decide depending on their bout with covid and how they feel about their chances with the vaccine.

Maybe they've had previous reactions with another vaccine, maybe medical family history, I don't know.

That's why I'm against mandates period.
