many people never get basic tech literacy. i think we’d benefit from not simply assuming others have (or could have) access to the same resources, time and patience that we had. i think you probably mean well but your statement, which sort of implies that people say “I am choosing not to learn the important skill of using the command line!”, just comes across as ignorant and naive to me
It should be explicit. The time required should be protected and remunerated accordingly.

It's not. Instead, it's unbounded in terms of time and effort, and hence allows unbounded amounts of pressure to be applied.

There's a "bullied child" mentality in academia: I went through it, now you have to go through it too.

It's ridiculous and unsustainable.
Upvote good things, comment on bullshit things.

> right, so CPI is not a good measure for actual inflation

No, quite the opposite in fact. CPI is a accurate measure of inflation as it tracks how much the real-world consumer prices vary where it really matters: real-world consumer expenses.

Perhaps the mistake you're making is assuming wrongly that demand for specific brands/makes/models is perfectly inelastic and consumers do not change their consumption patterns at all even if their price increases so much that they can no longer afford them. Meanwhile, if a low/middle class family sees the price of stake skyrocket, you can bet they'll start to switch a few meals to hamburguers or hotdogs.
What you suggest does scale with performance but not with organization its why Vault is used in the first place.

This is quite a good example of the hard limitations of high-quality sampling. If you composed a violin melody line which absolutely needed a fast attack, Kontakt (a £359 library) would give you:

- A "sustain" articulation with fast attack on the loudest dynamic (which also happens to be molto vibrato), but a slower attack on quieter dynamics

- An "attack" dial which can emulate slower attacks, but not faster ones

- A "staccato" articulation which has an instant attack, but a duration of about 0.5 seconds

- No legato, so even if you get the attack right, fast runs and ornaments are going to sound a little strange

I've encountered similar limitations with dedicated orchestral libraries. If it's not the attack, it's the expression, or the maximum note duration, or the speed of an ornament, or the timbre of the specific instrument they recorded, or something else which always dangles perfection just out of your reach.

I suspect you'd have similar problems with even the most expensive sample libraries; it's one more reason to opt out of that game altogether. If you lower your standards for audio fidelity, your musical freedom increases. When you're composing for the Nintendo DS, nobody's going to notice if you manually tweak the attack of your string sample, or fake an ornament using pitch-bend, or crossfade between two velocity layers.

SWAM is one possible escape route, but you're correct that it costs a fortune. It also has high CPU requirements, so you might need to bounce your SWAM parts to an audio track, and you'd have limited ability to put together seven SWAM violins and call it a "violin section".
If Apple keeps producing devices that dominate others (long battery life and actually functional ports in MacBook are two recent examples) then they're good in the near future. But in the long run, is Apple going into healthcare or am I reading too much into the piece?

I'd much rather hire someone who shows how to manage a mess, than someone who tries to avoid that mess.

Mess in code is inevitable. Taking on technical debt is fine, knowingly leaving certain parts messy is fine too. Provided you do so knowingly, and manageable.

So, indeed: I very much prefer to see someone who has horrible code but can explain why it wasn't a problem there, or how they refactored out of it into a beauty, than someone who has one "initial commit" that is that beauty immediately.

Edit: I've worked in places where there was a mess-paralysis. An in-grained fear for breaking stuff (but not the prowess to solve that with better CI, tests etc). Where we could not react to market or customer demands, where all progress was halted by that fear to have to go into "The Mess" and break stuff, or introduce New Mess.
> How do you validate the card is live? Run a real transaction through it and mark it based on the result.

Not necessarily. Some online services, particularly shops that do home delivery, may give their customers the possibility of adding a card to their wallet and perform a verification as part of the process. As a result, it becomes possible to validate a stolen card number without performing an actual transaction.
Just ignore them.
To the OP’s defence, there has been numerous, large scale murderous terrorist attacks in Europe over the same period, so it’s not like if there was no bear in sight.

Now you can debate whether it is the result of good policing or of a much smaller muslim immigration or some other factor.

Not that dissimilar to what some earlier colonialist charters did, and even countries like Canada are still doing today (with their point-based immigration system). Also similar to some modern micronation[1] enthusiasts, but they aren't as successful.

The very earliest Zionists (Chaim Weizmann[2]) didn't wanted to build a Jewish state, they wanted an ideal/Utopian society with the elite people speaking perfect German. They acquired the charter from the British and were very picky about whom they allowed to immigrate. I.e. they planned to hand pick only up to tens of thousands candidates per year.
Eventually they were pushed away by more pragmatic non-colonialist Zionists, who wanted to build (or restore/revive[3]) a normal Jewish nation-state, not the Utopian society.

Something similar but on much larger scale happened in Rhodesia[4] (modern Zimbabwe).

There are probably other examples of picky charter states that I missed.

I remember years ago there were plans to found Crypto states in Central America / Caribbean region (Nicaragua, Puerto Rico). It's relatively easy to bribe the politicians there and get some of the country regions as a concession/charter/"Free Economic Zone".

Well, if you want to collaborate better, maybe acknowledge to yourself that that's a goal you're deliberately pursuing and therefore you're going to sacrifice other things (probably including reaching the best possible conclusion in individual conversations) because you value good collaboration more.

> Apple going into healthcare or am I reading too much into the piece?

Isn't Apple already into "Consumer Healthcare" with iWatch, ECG and other monitoring stuff built into iPhones (headphone volume, logging mindful minutes, etc.)?

They're slowly building Health and their devices into a very capable yet understated health tracking and improving devices.
That's the correct answer.
I love the command line just as much as the next guy, but I could appreciate a gui program onto which I would drag and drop links from the url bar as i’m watching a video, and where there would be zones like “save as video”, “save and convert to mp3”, etc. And it would also take care of queueing things up.

I couldn’t care less how those zones are defined and configured, could be a configuration file for all i care, but the end result would be much more potent than copying and pasting into terminal and then making sure it’s quoted or escaped properly.

> It's when, instead of simply raising prices, companies skimp on the goods and services they provide.

This is old news. For food and beverages it’s a well known phenomenon: The average package sizes have been decreasing over time for some standard products to keep the nominal price constant. In Europe, for example, Coca Cola started to sell 250ml (8.5oz) cans a couple of years ago instead of the regular 330ml (11.2oz) ones.
It's really just guessing though.

Maybe that "dirty laundry", in this case, is security-through-obscurity (maybe even with a TODO: this is insecure, fix it) or hardcoded values such as keys or ids that might compromise stability or security.

E.g. I normally open source everything from day one, but keep my Ansible (and before Chef) stuff behind closed doors: it's full of commits that would compromise security. E.g. "quick hardcoded list of private IP-addresses that can access the reporting Database until we have the VPC coupled to a VPN."
I would say legitimate use includes archiving, and nothing more.

The article looked fishy when I started reading it and I knew something was wrong when I came to the point where it claimed that both Norway and Sweden had the same level of immigration.

In 2016 Sweden had around 160 000 asylum seekers, and granted around 70 000.

Norway with half the population had 31k asylum seekers, through I don't know the grant rate. In 2017 Norway had reduced those numbers further down to around 3k asylum seekers, while Sweden had 150k.

Similar immigration levels? No. Not even close.

If those numbers are that wrong then I don't trust any other numbers in this article. The connection to covid is also dubious and I have yet to see any such arguments being done in the news. No one is claiming that immigration is the reason why vaccination took until this summer to be made available to the general population, nor why the elder care took the primary hit during the first year. What people are claiming is that most of the lock down strategies of other nations has lite evidence that they worked to protect the elder care system.

A bit of a telling sign is that between Malmö and Copenhagen which is only separated by a bridge, the Swedish side had lower infection rate and deaths compared to the danish side with the stricter lock downs. Malmö however has a younger population and lower population density. Comparing areas of similar density and the levels are more or less identical between Denmark and Sweden, with Stockholm sticking out a bit. A conclusion one could draw is that stricter lock downs might be beneficial in areas of high density near elderly care facilities, with fast diminishing benefits the further you step out of those areas. Future research studies will likely find that out during the next decade, and it will be interesting to see what Sweden should have done in hindsight.
This is a benefit of working remote: I work at Automattic and have worked on teams where the members are literally around the world. When shit hits the fan, people are able to hand-off this kind of work to people who are fresh after a good night’s sleep and no one needs (or should need to) work crazy hours.
How Apple going to leverage their hardware dominance is the key, I think they are going to start search engine, social network, online store, health care and insurance products etc. All things that are going to touch end users.
If you go by the semantics of what the 403 code means, absolutely, that's excatly what the status code means.

In practice there's of course nuance, like anyone will occasionally type in the wrong password on a log-in screen, maybe try again and then realize it was the wrong log-in prompt. That's mostly fine.

That's different from deliberate trying to circumvent a measure like this. If you are doing the stuff in the link, you are absolutely crossing a line and you know it.

There's a large difference between "I got a 403 so I hit F5 once" and "I got a 403 so I used a residential proxy and spoofed my user-agent".
There’s obviously no certainties - and I’m not a betting man - but I think this author is on to something.

Healthcare fits the brief of a “painful, expensive problem where technology can help”. That’s the fundamental criteria for any software development, and in this case requires good integration with hardware. That kind of problem plays to Apple’s strengths.

Coupled with their long-standing and (apparent) sincere interest in customer’s health and well-being and this seems a safe bet.

From my perspective SVN merges were absolute ape show even with as small as 5 people in the team.

Internet down - cannot do anything because you cannot even commit stuff with subversion. Let alone some totally obscure version control software I was working with as well.

Yes it was better than making copies of source code with date/time.

What is my killer feature for GIT: that I can work on my local repo and I can do whatever I want there. Only when I have to share the code I have to cleanup commits/code.

In general I probably could do the local repo with SVN and moving changes between them would be more hassle than worth probably. Also as young dev I did not thought about that until I saw workflows in GIT and it blew my mind.

China is also still building coal plants. But that doesn't mean they see that as the future either. Like everybody else, they are not putting all their eggs in one basket but at the same time they like wind and solar a lot more than nuclear and coal.

Almost one in four UK workers planning job change
Coincidentally I've recently written a blog post about just this topic:

https://murex.rocks/docs/blog/split_personalities.html
I have a full time contract in the UK, it's 35 hours (and 45 days holiday though admittedly that's on the lucky side - I rarely use all of it). Not 100% sure but in France I believe the standard is 32? Which is what GP asked for.

(edit: France has legislated 35 as full time - overtime must be paid for hours >35. They are currently considering revising this to 32).

edit2:

I get your argument from the employer's point of view, I just don't think it stacks up psychologically, because I've previously been in the position myself of wanting more pay or fewer hours AND knowing I was still committed to that job (I could evidence this by saying I stuck to it a long time after that discussion despite only minor improvements in pay). Sure, some individuals might be conflicted if presenting those goals but you'd have to assess that on your knowledge of the individual rather than pure game theory.

Even if you insist on a pure game theory perspective GP's ultimatum makes sense, though - it sought to address an imbalance in investment by saying either invest more in me or allow me to invest less in you.
You mean, like this?

Snark aside, most text based editors have some giveaway or another. Even the GUI ones show syntax highlighting quirks that show that something is wrong.

This is only really relevant in unicode-aware terminals, without syntax highlighting and when you don't get to scroll between characters. IOW, it's really quite hard to do.
Shift-Command-Option-V = "Paste as Plain Text" = "Paste and Match Style" is a different thing.

This is such bullshit. It's a scam. There is not qualification.

If you think there are academics involved (make your case, provide evidence) they are in on the scam. It is still a scam. It remains a scam if your dog could stop it and chose not to. It remains a scam if Donald Trump. It remains a scam if Joe Biden.
