there is also screeps if anyone wants the MMO experience.
but this one aint free though, because you're effectively running code 24/7 and the devs need to maintain servers so that your code gets executed.
i'd suggest just getting the simple game and run the server locally. no longer MMO in that case, but thats probably for the best until your code can handle raids by other players :)

> to claim that lockdowns and similar actions did not have a significant impact for a year or more

I'm not claiming this. I'm trying to point out that "lockdown" evokes particular policies and imagery while acting rhetorically as an amorphous catch-all.

What is a lockdown? Is it "restriction of movement", "any policy that attempts to slow the spread of Covid", or something in between?

I mean, I don't think Iowa ever implemented a stay-at-home type of policy. But based on that primary source linked in another comment, they had an increase in overdoses. Does FEE engage with that at all?

Furthermore, there was an unknown deadly virus in our midst. If the government had taken no action at all, do you really think that there would have been no disruption, no job loss, no increase in overdose deaths?
This sounds about right.

Imagine waking up, putting on your glasses and looking into the autumn morning sun, dawn. The rays break into golden lines of light. As the sun rises further, a capri sun ad. You sigh and fall back into you bed and stare at the ceiling, another ad taking advantage of the plainess. Be less Boring- Virgin Galactic.

Yes, you can use MicroG with LineageOS. If this totally solved the privacy issue, e/OS would be pointless.

GApps is a big upper level privacy problem that microG can solve but this is not the only issue. By default, AOSP itself also sends personally identifying info to Google servers through low level system calls. The e/OS fork is needed in order to remove this.

As @katbyte mentions, Vancouver downtown is very dense.

The city had a very progressive urban planning department until about 2007 or so and it shows.

I am not as familiar with the downtown as it exists now but the downtown was, when I lived there, very different than almost any downtown I have been in in North America with the possible exception of San Fran.

To paraphrase J. K. Galbraith, at any given time there exists an inventory of undiscovered regulatory fraud in the economy, and this inventory is part of the bezzle.[a] In good times regulators are relaxed and trusting, and their approval is easier to obtain. Under these circumstances the rate of regulatory fraud grows, the rate of discovery falls off, and the regulatory bezzle increases rapidly. In bad times all this is reversed. Actions are watched with a narrow, suspicious eye. Regulators assume everyone is dishonest until proven otherwise. Regulatory audits are penetrating and meticulous. Commercial morality is enormously improved. The regulatory bezzle shrinks.

--

[a] The term "bezzle" was proposed by J. K. Galbraith in The Great Crash of 1929: "To the economist embezzlement is the most interesting of crimes. Alone among the various forms of larceny it has a time parameter. Weeks, months or years may elapse between the commission of the crime and its discovery. (This is a period, incidentally, when the embezzler has his gain and the man who has been embezzled, oddly enough, feels no loss. There is a net increase in psychic wealth.) At any given time there exists an inventory of undiscovered embezzlement in – or more precisely not in – the country’s business and banks. This inventory – it should perhaps be called the bezzle – amounts at any moment to many millions of dollars. It also varies in size with the business cycle. In good times people are relaxed, trusting, and money is plentiful. But even though money is plentiful, there are always many people who need more. Under these circumstances the rate of embezzlement grows, the rate of discovery falls off, and the bezzle increases rapidly. In depression all this is reversed. Money is watched with a narrow, suspicious eye. The man who handles it is assumed to be dishonest until he proves himself otherwise. Audits are penetrating and meticulous. Commercial morality is enormously improved. The bezzle shrinks." (https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/1466583-the-great-cras...)

Economists to Cattle Ranchers: Stop Being So Emotional About the Monopolies
In my observation, the Rust community is very hesitant to use dynamic dispatch, even where it wouldn't hurt performance (true for most things that involve I/O) and would dramatically reduce compile times.

I'm not sure why. The fact that Rust makes dyn traits significantly more verbose doesn't help, of course, but that can't be the only reason.
For logged out users, sure (I did). If your users are logged in or you need to process their visit server side, it's a bit harder. AFAIK you can't do fragmented caching with vanilla Varnish.

You can build Debian up to anything you want. I prefer installing new systems from the netinstall image and skipping the mirror configuration step completely. This produces a very minimal system that has all the basics (bash, ssh client, vi, and coreutils), but without anything else. If you throw away apt caches, it weights around 500 MB (half of which are various kernel modules).

You then install the minimum amount of software necessary to cover the use case

Probably. There's 20-30ish million software developers in the world [1]. People work for 30-50 years, suggesting at least a million freshman CS students a year. It's a rapidly growing field. Plus all the lifetime learners. It's not unreasonable to estimate at least 2M CS students worldwide write or work on a compiler each year. Maybe a tad high, but also it's an idiom.

> The funny thing is I moved to Calgary in the early 2000's when oil was well under $50/bbl and the environment was one of unbounded optimism and potential. When oil hit the same price a few years ago on the way down the would have thought the world ended.

Because the province ran out of the easy to extract oil and had to move to bitumen extraction which requires a much higher price of oil to be profitable.

Oil sands need the price of oil to be in the area of $100+ a barrel to be profitable.

There's also the entire equalization debate which Alberta is so fond of throwing in the rest of Canada's face.

For those non-Canadians, Canada has an "equalization" program which is essentially an attempt to "smooth out" tax income across the country, so the "have" provinces fund the "have not" provinces so Canadians across the country can have a similar standard of living and similar services.

Alberta, being the richest province, ends up paying way more equalization to the poorest provinces, mostly Quebec and the Maritimes. This is one of the significant factors of "western alienation", in that Albertans are continuously furious that their funds go to pay for Quebec's generous social systems. In fact, the Alberta government is holding a referendum next week on this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Alberta_referendum).

Of course, bringing reality into the situation makes things look a little different, which is something that doesn't happen in the Canadian national discourse. Equalization is complicated, but there is no cheque written from Alberta to Quebec. Instead, the federal government pays Quebec its share of it from its own funds, mostly from federal income and sales taxes. The calculation of it is based on potential tax revenue. Alberta, being a province full of high income earners, has a very high potential tax revenue, so it is a "have" province and doesn't receive equalization. The idea is that provinces that can't raise their own revenue comparable to the other provinces get a break.

The issue is that Alberta has been chronically under taxing for years. It has no sales tax, it has the lowest by far income tax rates of the entire country. The system is designed for provinces to be responsible and raise their own revenue, and then get federal subsidies if that is not enough, but Alberta refuses to play that game. The Alberta government has been able to direct this rage to the federal government and Quebec though when the people really should be looking to their own provincial government instead.

This was really contentious following the oil busy in the mid 2010s. Alberta as a province was hurting, as a significant portion of its revenue came from oil royalties. However, since it refuses to raise taxes, it did not receive equalization payments despite being by all measures except the official ones a "have not" province.

A lot of Albertans are angry about pipelines and not being able to properly export their oil, as other posters have mentioned. Developing more infrastructure probably would be a good thing, especially when oil was cheap. Unfortunately, Canadian political discourse is not serious and its not possible to talk about serious, complex issues nationally.

The historical aspect of the article is mostly accurate. The issue seems to be with using Bitcoin as a currency for every day transactions. The transaction rate still hasn’t been solved. Bitcoin still has a role to play in international finance, it can replace the need for a reserve currency at all due to the distributed ledger. In this way, look for it to replace the functions of the Bond market first. It is ideal for keeping track of large transactions over time between nations and companies.
Also, the key to a reserve currency since Bretton Woods has partially been that energy has been priced in U.S. dollars. Another advantage for crypto, for those same energy interests that seem to own everything already, is that more energy is consumed as financial activity happens creating a sort of symbiotic relationship that the U.S. dollar had for some time. This inherent fact might be why it continues to survive various crashes.

Is instagram not hip anymore ? I’m using fastAPI after moving to flask for a personal project but all of these microfraneworks make me want Django for what is built in. Also , why not have backend frameworks in JavaScript? Everyone focuses on performance and disregards ergonomics.

> I mean, Instagram server is still a big Python codebase. It's Django at the core, I mean, it still runs through the Django request handling stack, and the middleware and views and URL routing, all of that is still Django. It looks familiar to any Django developer. Just very big, lots of views, lots of URLs, lots of code. There's a lot of, I mean, obviously, the ORM we don't use anymore, the admin is very much based on the ORM, so that's not in use anymore. And there's a lot of components, where Django provides kind of pluggable back ends, like sessions and authentication, and for all of that stuff, we've essentially rewritten the entire system. But we're actually still using the sort of Django API for those things, because it's pluggable. So I would call that a success story, I mean, in that we've been able to very smoothly migrate away from the components that that no longer worked at our scale, in many cases without even having to change the client code touching those subsystems because Django provides this ability to swap out the back end. So yeah, and you know, the Django core requests support that we still use, we're 100% async now, so already a few years ago, we kind of forked and modified a bunch of that to support async, or concurrent handling of multiple requests using async IO. So there have been some changes.

I know. But it lacks ReSharper and I also just feel better and happen to be significantly more productive in the full Visual Studio because of its look-and-feel (this is a mild OCD-related phenomenon).

Try Pinta really, if you still didn't. It's worse but does approximately the same job in the most of the use cases. I would feel really sad and do any hacking to return it if it would be discontinued.
I can't comment on every use case, but I've recently been using htmx[1] with Django templates to provide sort-of async behaviour. For me it's the best of both worlds; I can specify my template and view as though it's a normal page load, and then use some hx- attributes to make it async.

Not just existing stick pressure progression, but required stick pressure progression. As far as I understand it, in that specific situation the 737 MAX without MCAS does not comply with the rules regarding aerodynamic stability. It's not dramatic, doesn't manifest itself in normal flight, and could be dealt with by pilots quite easily as far as I understand it. But it's a rule, and it was important enough for Boeing to first put a quite gentle MCAS on the plane, and then to increase the effect of MCAS.
