I agree on the planning part, but I think the difficulty of raising a child is not only due to parents putting in more effort, although it's certainly a big part. Personally, we try to not put high expectations on our son, we don't have or plan on tons of extracurricular activities etc, but the first few years of their life is super hard anyway because of the constant sleep deprivation, the stress from having to perform at work despite this, and next to no free time for yourself or your relationship to your spouse. I think the reason it's harder now is mainly because both parents are expected to (and need to) work, and there's little support from the "village", because there is no village anymore. Grandparents live far away, kids don't just hang out in droves while one parent keeps an eye out through the kitchen window etc. There are so many factors that make parenting really time and energy consuming.

i like in depth optimisation posts like this post. however it starts by expressing disagreement with the statement that idiomatic common lisp is much faster than idiomatic clojure, but in the end doesnt do much to dispell this. all it does is it shows how much in depth knowledge of clojure and jvm you need in order to still be slower than a very simple implementation in common lisp. i myself am quite new to common lisp, and comming from the machine learning and scientific computing background, i am VERY impressed by its speed, interactiveness, and just general neatness of programming. i don't think there exists a language that comes close to this. i wish there were more members from ml and scientific community involved in the common lisp community. in fact there is one person in the clojure community who i would love to try common lisp: https://dragan.rocks/
I was curious if this is true, so I created a new profile. The first two tabs were the normal onboarding and the privacy policy. When I opened a new tab I did get the silly news feed so I clicked the gear icon in the top right and turned it off.

I haven't seen any nagging to create an account yet after mucking around with the UI.

And honest question, what's your idea for monetizing Firefox? They're pushing subscription based products to reduce the reliance on Google money and adding different avenues for sponsorships that aren't from Google. Sounds like a plan to me.

Also Brendan Eich had strong support within Mozilla. If I had to guess, he resigned because of external pressure. (remember OkCupid putting a banner on their service protesting Eich, that was wacky)
I stopped caring about the phylosophy behind Open Source. I am interested if a particular piece of software will allow me to do my stuff easier, better, with lower costs and in a future proof way. Of course I would prefer the source code to be available but I can live without it.
I’ve shot medium format, had a lab at home, and now use a Sony a7R IV. The process of developing film was way more fun than my current use of Lightroom, but my $$ conscious self couldn’t stop thinking of how much practice cost. This thought process happened with my woodworking hobby as well :(.

That said, my Sony rivals a medium format in resolution.

If we take joy out of the equation, say we’re doing this as part of a business process, digital is better in all but a handful of cases.

We have issues with our dual HP screen setup going completely black out for 5-10 seconds randomly 3-5 times throughout a work-day.

When it happens the screen setup/orientation often reset, so left becomes right.
We've tried multiple different cables, cheap ones, short ones, expensive ones, Thunderbolt 3 etc. etc. Console does log an error when it happens, but we don't have the expertise to look into it. And really who to contact? HP would point fingers at Apple and vice versa, or Apple at our corporate setup. Doesn't seem to happen with only 1 screen attached.

For headset connection we use an off-brand adapter where we plugin the wireless USB-A dongle, but you sound like a robot. Probably adapter fault, but same issue, who to contact? We found a particular brand of a very cheap small USB-C to A adapter works.
I am using bluetooth to connect my headset, but it's very spotty requiring me to reset bluetooth module one a week to get the connection. So why am I using bluetooth you might ask, and not the dongle? Well if I use the dongle it interferes with my personal Logitech mice/keyboard setup, so that begins to lag.

I know the solution is to use Airpods, Apple keyboard and mice/trackpad as well as Apple screens and adapters... but expensive and shouldn't be necessary.
Pre-covid to me it felt like I had to follow an employers rule of employment to the letter. Post-covid; it very much feels like I am on my own conditions here, both salary and terms of where I work (100% remote). Also feels like part of the resignation wave is coming from employers still believing they can run their company on pre-covid terms.
Like I said a little higher in this thread, I don't think that the concept of electronic voting using a blockchain ledger needs to be mapped on the concept of cryptocurrencies.

The way I'm thinking this can work is having an organization (the tallier) that creates ledgers for a particular vote (ie, a specific question being asked: Should our city allow construction on Lot A1?)

The "voter" can submit a request to participate in this vote in an "enrollment" step. The success of this process leaves the voter with a public/private key that is known to the "tallier" (the public part) and allowed to vote but is not a direct way of identifying the "voter".

In the voting period, the above key can be used by the voter to cast a ballot (a yes or a no in the example), the payload of the vote can not be decrypted unless you are the tallier, from the outside you can only see that a particular key has cast a ballot.

The tallier can see that one of the enrolled keys has cast the ballot, it decrypts the vote and adds it to the tally.

Once the voting ends, the tally is finalized and the ledger is closed and archived.

Why does this require blockchain ledgers, you might ask. Because the information in the ledgers, the voting one and the enrollment one need to be public and at the same time tamper proof. If there's another technology that can offer that, maybe it should also be a candidate, but personally I haven't researched enough to know of one. :)
> That’s pretty easy, right? I’m positive that your business has to deal with much more onerous contracts than the AGPL.

You're missing the point. They aren't choosing between the AGPL and Oracle's EULA. They're choosing between the AGPL and other open source software licenses.

First, every time some AGPL code has to change, a business has to review the amount of work that will go to it (patch or rewrite and replace), review the patch including legal review, etc.

Secondy, this requirement resticts my freedom. If the same code is licensed under a permissive license, I wouldn't have to do anything. Once it's approved for internal use, the overhead of dealing with OSS is almost gone.

Regardless of Google's falsehoods, it's undeniable that a permissive license doesn't restrict my freedom. And that's it - I don't need more anti-AGPL propaganda to avoid its use. If I can use the MIT or Apache or BSD licensed code, I will. Even if it's slightly worse, I'll pick it over AGPL-licensed code because in the mid and long term it won't cost me as much.

> Google wants to be able to incorporate FOSS software into their products and sell it to users without the obligation to release their derivative works.

Who doesn't? Why should anyone bother furthering your AGPL agenda over own interests and the freedom offered by permissive open source licenses?

I can't believe this crap topic comes up every so often.

The companies here in the EU of which I heard that they allow remote work pretty much limited their employees to stay within the EU while working. Is this different in the US?
That is client side. I meant server side, as well.

I think the OPs point was that the past employer effectively leveraged the social aspect to underpay. Now that there is a hobby outside of work, the latter is suddenly not a center of life anymore. The pay raise is the ironic reality of employers catching up with the real cost of labour.
My point was I think they have already the ability to do this (cited sources) but they don't.

Apple's private relay feature is good but they also suffer from recent trust issues.

Regarding the last point, yes if you send PM-Non-PM there will be plaintext email sitting in the Non-PM's inbox/sent items. But you do have the ability to send non-PM recipients password protected email where they have to read the email over at PM in their browser. Only a link to it sent by email and they need to know the password to access it.

Obviously it depends on your threat model, but if you're doing anything that sensitive you should probably not be using email as there's no way of truly making it secure to use.

Some people will be using protonmail just because they don't want their provider scanning their emails or targeting them with ads. PM do offer a free tier so they're not a bad choice for that use case.
With inlining maybe?
Cloudflare is the most well-known, but there are lots of providers now that provides these level of service, from the old guys like Akamai's Prolexic to new ones like Imperva to tier-1 ISPs like Telia's.

Additionally, depending on the exact service, you can certainly firewall traffic - close to the source.

The specific problem here is that mail servers, since that is not the target of DDoS until now, which means that there are few companies who do provide mail exchange-specific DDoS protection, which means larger companies (Verizon/Yahoo, Microsoft/Outlook, Google/Gmail) just operate servers well beyond what they really need, and I don't think that they can just run to Cloudflare and violate their privacy promise in the process.
Google has a TON of retired properties that were profit-makers, but not unicorns. Smaller Baby Googles would likely find solid revenue bringing some of them back.

I have slightly simpler proposition - ban digital advertising.

Or at least ban the 'dynamic' one - the one which tries to match the user's preferences. Just static, random ads akin to TV or billboards next to the roads.
They can’t downlevel someone from Facebook that easily. They have to match the compensation at least and Facebook pays pretty well at L5 level.
That rate is going to vary widely as more people get vaccinated. In a country with 100% of its citizens vaccinated, 100% of those hospitalized will be vaccinated. And likewise for 0%/0%. So keep we must always be looking at the whole picture.

Without a doubt, most of the approved COVID-19 vaccines are extremely effective at preventing hospitalization/death due to SARS-CoV-2 infections, this has been shown time and time again across the world.

But it's not really OO, it's some ugly mix with rules:

* don't put side-effect initialization code into the constructor
* use state to render your components
* don't set state directly, use setState, _unless_ in the constructor
* if you want to use stores, declare a static field

You don't inherit classes, as there are many special methods, and overwriting them would mean calling super - before your method body? After? During?

Class based components only pay off if you have truly large and complex components, and that's an antipattern in react anyway. Hooks are concise, and super clear if you keep it simple (there are also additional rules not enforced by the compiler, like putting all side-effectful code into useEffect, but still).

For a market to be free it must be well regulated. If a market is controlled inordinately by a few, it ceases to be free.
Monopoly, while the end goal of any actor under capitalistic system, is the antithesis to capitalism itself. Capitalism exists to force competition.

So yes, splitting a monopoly should be part of 'free market', as having monopolies basically destroys it.
> Microsoft Process Explorer has the same functionality so they don't have standing to block competitors then go and include the exact same features in their own software.

> Microsoft has been secretly adding more powerful features than Process Hacker via their SAC product – SAC has no security whatsoever by design – they're clearly targeting the project not because of any actual technical issues but rather because we're more popular than their products, so they're using the same (illegal and anti-competitive) tactics they used against Netscape Navigator to eliminate competition but also labeling the project malicious in an attempt to mislead the competition regulators.

Yet another example of a trillion dollar tech company stifling competition and innovation with anti-competitive tactics.

Both Microsoft and Apple require developers to sign software in order for their apps to run on Windows or macOS. Developers must pay to buy and renew their certificates regularly and must remain in good standing with either company if they want their apps to run on either OS. At any time, and for any reason, Microsoft or Apple can revoke your certificates and prevent Windows or macOS from running your apps at all.

The control over what apps can run on Windows or macOS is all about securing profits for either company, first and foremost. Actual security is just an afterthought.

Both companies take it one step further and are locking developers out of kernel space. Apple stills signs a few third-party .kexts, like macFUSE, but everyone else is out of luck. Microsoft needs to sign kernel-mode drivers or situations like the one in the OP will occur.

This is certainly different than, but reminiscent of, the situation with AppGet and Microsoft's clone, Winget[1].

Sure, so authenticity is a moving target defined by the current members of a culture. I don't think that is enough justification to ignore it entirely. Regardless of how murky the definition is, surely I can say that a margherita pizza is more authentic Italian than a Domino's pie. It's a spectrum, and I am arguing more for the idea of distinguishing between large differences on the scale rather than quibbling about minor ones. I can agree that example is taking things too far without much productive purpose.
I hope we can keep politics out of this thread, but I couldn't help but notice all of the plaintiff states are dominantly Republican states. Any ideas why that would be and why the "blue" states aren't present?

Interesting data from Israel! https://datadashboard.health.gov.il/COVID-19/

For people that have received the vaccine in the last 6 months ("within date") the per-capita infection rate is an order of magnitude lower (per capita of ~1-4 vs ~15-30) than both the expired vaccinated and unvaccinated.

But when you look at ICU cases, the expired vaccinations are closer to the within-date vaccinations.

So keeping up to date on vaccine means you don't get infected at all. But having even an expired vaccine means you'll have a milder case.

I think it's as simple as; more companies are offering fully remote roles, which means wages are higher (at least in the UK where it's centering to London wages, 20% higher than elsewhere). People are more open to these roles because the pandemic has shown them remote can be OK as a compromise.

So; higher wages, more choice. Even if you don't like remote working that much it's part of the choice.
all throughout the pandemic i visited with nurses, emts and have even been in many hospitals here in seattle and surrounding areas. you know, ground zero or first reported spot.. the hospitals were empty, still are and they were laying people off right and left. but yeah i guess i kept missing the rush or was at the wrong hospitals. it was strange
Interesting:

-- Stripe reported "aggregate earnings" as $10B, so maybe $3B last year. Unclear what the platform skims and if that was included: I bet 30%, but let's go with 0% for this

-- Based on Twitch, those 680K earners is really 34,000 people getting most of it, so say average $88K per significant earner. But we know averages are misleading in celebrity-driven fields like music/sports/writing, so probably a few lottery winners getting rich while most supposedly "successful" earners are still getting below $88K, so maybe a median of say $30-50K for them

-- Put to scale, Amazon has 150K+ drivers, so 4-5X the number of 'creators'

So the bad news this article tries to hide is that the creator economy is much smaller and lower paying than folks are marketing. But the good news is what they say little about but appears in the chart: that's an awesome growth rate! If the 30K worldwide keeps doubling over 10 years, that turns into 30M people world wide! 0.4% of the world population is a real number!

Then again, I'm unsure how different the 'creator economy' companies ultimately are for most creators, sort of like a band not caring whether they're using an accountant vs turbotax. Maybe they provide some lift for some creators, but for the regular (non-celebrity) earners, unclear how much is the platform vs the creator.
Use your own smarts, read books about business building and talk to older people. But don't take any mentor at their word. I got burnt when younger by trusting somone whose advice almost destroyed everything I built. I came out of it stronger but I wish I never had to.
Biggest thing is they're basically out of masks, gloves, etc. and are sleeping at the hospital at this point. The hospitals won't pay to get them better break rooms and until recently didn't even have a great place to sleep.
Norway has 5 million people in total, and used to be very homogeneous. I think it was Robert Putnam who showed that with increasing diversity, you will get less solidarity and openness/trust towards strangers.

Homelessness may be a solved problem in Norway, but it does not mean that Norwegian solution is readily transplantable into San Francisco. Much like we failed to transplant modern way of life to Afghanistan.
The biggest performance issue Clojure has, which isn't mentioned in the article and is fundamentally unsolvable, is that it misses the CPU cache - a lot.

The data structure that drives the immutable variables, the Hash-Array Mapped Trie, is efficient in terms of time- and space- complexity, but it's incredibly CPU cache-unfriendly because by nature it's fragmented - it's not contiguous in RAM. Any operation on a HAMT will be steeped in cache misses, which slows you down by a factor of hundreds to thousands. The longer the trie has been around, the more fragmented it is likely to become. Looping over a HAMT is slower than looping over an array by two or three orders of magnitude.

I don't think there is really a solution to that. It's inherent. Clojure will always be slow, because it's not cache friendly. The architecture of your computer means you physically can't speed it up without sacrificing immutability.
Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately hard to find a copy I just found out.

If you conflate quality with authenticity I could see how "fetishizing" authenticity is tantamount to rejecting innovation. But I think they are distinct concepts, so I have to disagree. I also wouldn't characterize my stance as fetishization, more that authenticity is also something to appreciate, below more important factors like taste.
