Unless those mujahideen were time travelers, no they were not the same taliban I was fighting when I was there. I’m well aware of the early history of how the Taliban developed as a CIA proxy war against Soviet Union. It had little to do with who we were fighting when we were actually there. It’s a Reddit-tier reductionist reading of history to laugh it off as “you were fighting the people CIA trained”.

>Calling them goat herders is either ignorance, racism, or pushing whatever agenda you’re trying to push.

I’m accurately describing the people I personally fought in this war. Good to know it’s racist to accurately describe them.

> Unless you're specifically speaking of the lowest caliber grunts of their infantry, in which theirs are nearly the same as ours. Mostly uneducated canon fodder.

I actually laughed out loud at this.
ActiveRecord does work but it’s hugely limited because they have explicit per-thread resource pools which we can’t get around very easily.
I agree. It's just that you would need a way to flex that on social media. I guess they can make a page or something on their site but honestly NFTs are super simple low tech cheap way to elicit donations with a receipt that can be easily acknowledged anywhere
In Europe, Zyxel was top of the line at the time, Elite class.
Reminds me of Olive Garden's original Pasta Pass (albeit on a smaller scale). The first year they offered it it was around $150 for about 3 months of 2 meals a day. As 22 year old who couldn't cook and had recently graduated from college, I took full advantage. Each meal came with a salad, bread sticks, a pasta dish, and a drink. I would place the order to-go and pick them up on the way home from work and have food for the next 24 hours. Actually even more, I found it was so much food that I started giving it away to my coworkers friends, even offering it to the homeless guy who busked near my apartment. Probably easily 4-5K calories a day. It wasn't the best pasta in the world but it was better than the ramen I would make at home. And not the most unhealthy thing as long as I didn't eat the full portions that were served.

The next year apparently they made it in-store only, probably because everyone who signed up was doing exactly what I did and they were losing their hat. I'm guessing the OP doesn't have this problem because driving by Six Flags every day isn't really practical for most people. And hey they got some free publicity out of letting this guy abuse the system!
It's worse than that in the US. While iOS is a bit over 50%, it's closing in on 90% for teens[0], where such discrimination is most likely to occur. These numbers also bode well for Apple's future market share as these teens grow into adults.

Not necessarily. It's not at all unheard of to truck large loads of hay several states away.

Not explicitly mentioned in that CAB/F document, the PKIX standard that makes ipAddress SANs work actually defines them as numeric types with a set number of bits, so an ipAddress is literally a 32-bit or 128-bit value.

This leaves no room for the ambiguity of the text rendering something like 010.010.010.010 in the certificate itself.

Likewise the dnsName SAN type is defined in an alphabet for X.509 that literally can't represent fancy Unicode, so you can't mistakenly write certificates with dnsName SANs that give the Unicode name instead of the unambiguous punycode name stored in DNS.

These two choices mean your browser can mechanically with 100% reliability check certificates in the Web PKI match the IP address or DNS name from the URL you believed you were visiting, whereas historically the abuse of "Common Name" features to write a human representation had nasty edge cases for both IP addresses and some DNS names.
I'm afraid I still don't understand. Are you arguing that there is some utility in considering "concepts or ideas" non-physical from an ontological perspective? Because I think we both agree they're solidly physical in the sense that a "thought" can be reduced to chemical signaling.

On the QM side, I'm pretty sure that you're incorrect in your postscript. It was my understanding that certain physical processes can only be understood though probability and that talking in terms of wavefunctions is the most correct way to do that.

The US “cannon fodder” comes from the most advanced civilian gun culture in the world. To this day the US federal government actively supports civilian marksmanship.

It was entertaining seeing how the CIA taught the 2021 Taliban proper trigger discipline compared to the fingers resting on the trigger of a machine gun photos of the early 2000s. Shades of Kipling there.

Yeah that sounds pretty different from other countries like France or Japan where there is no such distinction.

When a developer builds a housing building, they sell the apartments to people who will either live there or rent it to someone else. Then when the owners sell their apartment later, it can go from a resident owner to an investor, or the other way around.

As a result there is a mix of owners and renters in any condominium.
or they are incredibly short-sighted and assume they can manage to survive the next 60 years with whatever meagre savings that they may have and whatever skills that is relevant in 2021 is still relevant 10 years from now.

If you are in your 20s, you think you rule the world (Thanks to validation from Social Media). But those 20 year olds will become 30y and they will be the 'boomers'

The cycle will turn, employment will become harder and 'great resignation' may come back to bite them.

I'm not saying that this might happen. But to categorically say that "This is the way" is incredibly short-sighted
You have missed the point totally.

The "cohesive narrative" stands alone. History exists only on its own terms. You cannot look at something that happened in history and say: we can do this because it happened then. It is not absurd, it is the basic aspect of how histography is taught in university (and btw, if you study politics...you will find the same idea, "path dependence"...you see parallels in every social science because it is a fairly common mistake made by people who haven't thought about the issue deeply...the "why don't you be like Denmark" meme is a classic of comparative politics).

I am not saying that the present is the only lens (again, you haven't even started to understand what I wrote). The point is that the present is the only present. The past can only be understood in it's own terms. You are not constrained in any way because the past provides only information about the past, not the present.

A remarkable attempt to redefine one out of work, but in both cases your activity is means to an end (of survival).

Subsistence farming is not leisure.
My objective is not to belittle the contribution of individuals in war efforts. Clearly wars are won by soldiers. But technology matters. Cement to make roads. Steel to make ak47s (which are much more valuable, per kilo of raw material, than drones). Coal to power it all. And so on.
That's partly what I assume. I think our social side came from survival in harsh condition. Falsely comfy society remove the need to live together, while subjecting us to a strange chaos.

Some war veteran said they preferred the battlefield because even with the threat of death, the life in those times were closer, more intense. Now that's an extreme case but it's telling.

And even about art/leisure.. you don't need much to go deep. Singing, playing drums, dancing doesn't require anything modern. People had pigments or crude material to craft but still it's something.

Here's a working race condition with async:

https://gist.github.com/39409838626b22433f8bf1878276b3c1

Prints 1 instead of 1000

If you remove the sleep there's no race because the fiber scheduler never hits a blocking call anywhere, but the sleep stands in for some kind of i/o. And then there's the terrible global variable.

(Conversely this does show you how badly you have to write code to get race conditions with async and the sleep there is important to the generation of the race, which would not be necessary with threads)

And I think if you remove the sleep it doesn't race due to the GIL and single-threadedness of ruby for pure userspace computations?
As well, the beautiful vulnerability and realness, the imperfections, the notes sometimes slightly flat or sharp because of mechanical aberrations — they were wonderful to observe. The humming sounds of the windings, the realness of it. The tactile dots, the understanding of how they related to musical notes. What a thing it was to behold, an authenticity that the child in us could always appreciate and be impressed and moved by.
Though it does have a relatively high amount of protein for plant material, most of alfalfa hay (and all hay, for that matter) is still cellulose, which people cannot digest and cows can (thanks to their symbiotic gut bacteria).

Feeding grain to cattle is pretty inefficient, because people can eat grain directly, but hay not so much.
I’m kind of the same way and have always really enjoyed tutoring.
How can I calm my soul?
I don't know if I totally agree. At my (software) desk job, if I'm working on designing or investigating something it can be very exciting and engrossing. But there are definitely days where it feels like I'm just minding deadlines and priorities and schedules. Those can be very tiring.
Idk it doesn't sound like a very good argument for a real value proposition. Maybe knowingly participating in a highly speculative market isn't exactly being naive or a scam artist, but it still doesn't make NFT's seem any smarter.
Feels like advice the author needs.

I'm not being (intentionally) snarky. A lot of writing isn't has little point beyond sharing the set of things floating around lately in an author's head. "I haven't quite made sense our of these things but they seem important, maybe you can."

You could argue that's perfectly legitimate -- but it's never presented that way. The conceit is always that you'll learn something useful.
I agree, and I've loved the European cities I've visited, but this is an article about US housing prices and the parent was talking about "existing cities" and how they "are the most resource efficient we have", which is plain wrong. I am all for making them more resource efficient by making them more like cities in other parts of the world.
I really despise Medium, not only because of the sneaky default paywall, but also because it's slow, pervasive and in general a bad choice for displaying code. I'd rather read a gist. dev.to is a better platform.

Thank you for the clarification. You are right, these types of race conditions are possible with Async Ruby.

I find these races relatively easy to spot: yes, global state CAN change when you yield back to the reactor.

IMO thread race conditions are much, much worse. Global state can change AT ANY POINT, because thread scheduler preemptively switches threads. Here's an example:

global.a = 0

thread {
global.a = 1
print(global.a) // a is 1 or 2
}

thread {
global.a = 2
print(global.a) // a is 1 or 2
}

print(global.a) // a is 0, 1 or 2

satellite sabotage/hijacking/repair is a field I would foresee parallel accelerating development in. The critical path for comms and vision when paired with drones makes leo a likely playground but with the fun dynamics of many amateur astronomers being able to watch what’s going on.
Why does it mean they're right? These EU states are using this tech because it's easy. Doing the right thing is usually not the easy way.

Also, economic growth is not the measure of a state that's good for its citizens. I think we're doing a lot better than China there.

This just means we have to keep fighting it.
IP address ranges were allocated to various organizations that can declare routes for them onto their own networks, or sell to other parties.

This is most commonly seen with large clouds like AWS buying millions of IPs from owners that weren't using them.

You can use "whowas" to track the ownership shifts, but I don't know of a global index-- each NIC has their own implementation and restrictions.

Edit: I had a totally different response before, but this felt more important to say:

I don't get the outrage over this. Like 'this' is indicative of a horrible society somehow. That someone finding an awesome loophole in a business model using it to their advantage, helping them make a financial investment in themselves, is somehow a horrible thing.

Amen. Paywall works well here cause if/when you pay to take it down, you expose that Medium is a fantastic crap aggregator.

The key is in making sure every step-wise change is backwards-compatible.

Creating a new field, double-writing, and backfilling are all relatively easy tasks in a distributed environment. Individual nodes can take their time catching up to the latest schema.

After a day or two, the engineer can verify that all data have been correctly migrated and double-written to the new ent/assoc. They then turn off double-writing to begin deprecating the old assoc. This can be done in an A/B test to ensure no major breakages.

Once the double-writing is fully turned off, the engineer checks one last time that all the data have been migrated. They check that the read/write rate to the old ent/assoc is 0, which then confirms that the old field is now safe to delete.

Overall, the trick is to think of the migration as a series of safe, backwards-compatible, easily-distributed steps, rather than a single atomic operation.
By no means am I a sophisticated viewer, so I thoroughly enjoyed Colony, and was disappointed with how it ended. Do you have any recommendations for shows that you consider to be done better?
In any language, avoiding race conditions or unexpected values changes without dedicated primitives or special conditions is relatively contingent on preventing thoughtless non-read usage of "shared" memory.

The problem is that it's often relatively easy to make unsafe writes without realizing, especially since the guarantees of "safe" primitives can be misunderstood. And of course many people don't realize that async code can have race conditions because they don't really understand the details of how async even works, or that some languages make extra guarantees that they're unknowingly depending on.

Having candidates explain the difference between parallel and asynchronous has been a relatively effective first level interview screener for me, especially with more junior roles.

I'm curious, which Asian countries are you talking about?
The thing is that a lot of people buying houses right now can afford them. The income divide is growing and the gulf between the economic haves and have-nots is widening. The supply of housing, particularly in desirable areas, is still constrained to the point that there are more qualified buyers than not. And the have-nots are locked out of the market entirely.

Lending standards are significantly higher than leading up to 2008. Are they still too loose? Debatable.

But we are not seeing the flagrant disregard of DTI, abuse of ARMs, and flagrant dereliction of lender due diligence like in the years leading up to 2008.

Whatever the next crisis or crash is will look different and have different causes than the last. IMO, that ownership is out of reach for an increasingly large portion of the population will be part of the breaking point, not a death spiral of defaults and securitized junk loans that shouldn't have been issued in the first place.

> Getting a shock is much more dangerous than doing a random car trip.

...similarly, a car crash is much more dangerous than doing a random electrical adjustment.

You don't get to assume one of them fails but not the other.

> Looks to me the OP's friend is just rounding the risk on his life to zero due to normalization of deviance alone

He's rounding it to zero because it's a very low risk, just like people do with car trips.

> that kind of thing

Do I get to lump drunk driving into normal driving? It's still "that kind of thing". I think we need to look at the risk of the specific type of dangerous activity, instead of lumping it into a generic "danger" bin and ignoring car danger because you personally don't feel it qualifies as "normalization of deviance".

Lots of companies do, mostly because some people find it indispensable, then move to other companies and convince them to use it as well. In my unit, the design team uses Dropbox and the marketing team uses Sharepoint/OneDrive.

Me personally? I used DB back when they intentionally slowed the transfer rate on free accounts to a snail's pace. I'm not sure how this was supposed to upsell me to a paid account, considering I already had Google Drive which was much faster and free.

Never used Dropbox again.
If that were true then modern authors would just be guys trying to reinvent Shakespeare. As programmers, the programs we write can be art as much as it can serve a business utility. Some things progress but some things never change too, and each generation finds a way to express those things in a new and beautiful way. While learning to become a better programmer, I've found it helpful to read and be inspired by things like the UNIX source code, or texts written by guys like Vannevar Bush or John McCarthy, just as fiction authors might find inspiration reading the classics.

Don't a lot of people actually enjoy their coworkers and working, too?

I mean, I'm sure almost everyone including farmers had a list of things they'd rather do than work - but are the majority of people today really working jobs that just make them absolutely miserable?

One of my best friends is a cashier at Trader Joe's and - for the most part - she genuinely enjoys it. Only two of my friends HATE their jobs, and their desperately trying to find a new job. Almost all of my friends have lots of complaints about their jobs - but they also have a lot of things they like about it, too.

Why isn't there a grey area for modern work and leisure but there is one for old work?
Let's say that's true already
I highly appreciate what Terraform does for me and the whole industry.

I also think sometimes why i don't like it very much and how i would make it different.

How the state is handled, including potential secrets in it, is just frustrating. Having root secrets for your whole setup exposed/unsecure is bad. The state is relativly fragile and cumbersome to clean up or fix. I also can't grasp that tf even needs a state and the cloud providers can't return the current state just fast enough. Only a lightweight cache would then be needed.

And probably due to implementation details, plans show sometimes changes when there would be no changes necessary.

For me its a good tradeoff to use terraform for setting up a k8s environment and then handling everything with ArgoCD.

Google Connector is a very great thought: you create a k8s resource and the cloud provider executes it for you on their cloud. No terraform needed anymore at all.
> I'm not as familiar with womens' lives, but I imagine they had more responsibilities and less leisure time. Cooking, cleaning (such as it was), sewing/needlepoint, and raising children all takes considerable time, so they mightn't have had as much time for leisure. A lot of the above activities were also intended for men.

My understanding is that women would do most if not all of these activities in groups with other women and use it as an opportunity for talking.
I was talking about companies in general, and wasn’t suggesting these were likely possibilities for any of them.
> The pandemic and a mix of Discord and Tabletop simulator brought us back together to do regular board gaming. This is effectively a VR environment without the headset.

This is the central problem for VR. The internet offers many experiences that are essentially "VR without the headset", from the Tabletop simulator you mentioned to World of Warcraft. What does the headset really add? You're still looking at a screen, except now you've got a damn thing on your head and are blind to the actual world around you. That virtual world better be really incredible to make up for it.
> You can convince copyright holders to assign the copyright to you, e.g. by paying them money, and then release their work using a permissive license

That's a half-measure with limited impact. Why spend considerable resources freeing up a small number of works? The right thing to do is to abolish copyright straight up. At the very least, fix copyright by significantly reducing duration so that copyright ownership is reassigned to the public automatically at zero cost regardless of what monopolists want.

> just stop buying it

People won't have a choice. They'll either buy locked down hardware or they won't be able to consume anything. Streaming services have already started enforcing DRM rules that prevent owners of free software and hardware from consuming their content and it's illegal to circumvent this even if you pay for it.
