Yeah, this is awful. I don't understand why they would also delete the data from that machine even if new data weren't flowing. What if you had needed the data from years ago? Isn't that part of the whole point of backup??

what's right when others appear to moan and carry on.

For anybody (100% rightfully!) wondering if it's my fault: (1) I've been consistently praised in reviews as a good communicator (2) I always operate by the maxim "don't just complain -- instead, offer solutions" and I see that you do too. (edit: That's not to say that I couldn't be communicating things better. Certainly, I don't believe I've reached some level of perfection there)

I think the reality is that this kind of change can't originate from the in-the-trenches folks at the bottom of totem pole. Management will never let individuals waver from their short term goals.

The only times I've seen developer pain-points successfully addressed in a sustainable way, it's because there was a dedicated team allocated to that sort of thing: a "developer experience" team, or some equivalent.

(Although, the issues you ran into are kind of an org issue in addition to a developer experience issue)
> “The only way a Substack grows is through tweets. I am like 85% serious when I say this.”

This rings true for me as a consumer of tech and tech-adjacent news. Most writers that I've started to follow via their newsletters, I've come across on twitter via their tweets that have gone viral or have been liked/retweeted by people in my network.

Another journalist that I subscribe to via their Substack in Eric Newcomer who also recently published a "Looking Back ..." post [0]. Interesting just to diff it from this post. From my understanding, Eric started writing his newsletter last year without importing a pre-existing list (at least that's the impression I got). His numbers (11,867 free subscribers and 1374 paid subscribers) definitely seems to suggest that Substack's guidance that about 10% of subscribers convert to paid is in the ballpark.

The Pi is just an example, $250 Laptops today have performance that cost $700 a few years ago

And the "extras" you mention also get cheaper due to economies of scale. 4k 30hz monitors used to run just under $1000. Now 4k 60hz monitors run just over $200.

At the end of the day you cannot compete with how much better we get at making things over time right now.

Is clojure the newest popular-language-you-can-get-a-job-in? It's initial release was 2007.

Rust (2010) (edit Kotlin (2011) perhaps), but point being there aren't many newer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_programming_langua...

That metric is subjective and arbitrary, but it's on my mind because my company is hiring for clojure developers (see my immediate comment history & apologies for the advertisement).

And it's on my mind because common lisp and scheme are _old_.

One of the nicer things about clojure is relatively frequent mentions of how common lisp did things, then a choice to hew or differ. And common lisp and the lisp family of languages have a long history. I like this as an art-piece of lisp's age: http://kazimirmajorinc.com/Documents/Lisp-code-typography/in...
It depends. If the content in question could possibly cast doubt that the vaccines are anything but 100% safe as drinking a glass of water, then we go with the twitch streamer, NYT journalists, randos on Twitter, etc. If the content in question supports the idea that the vaccines are a silver bullet and must be taken by everyone immediately or they should lose their job and be cast out of public life, then the study involved is now canon and we should label the former groups questioning this as peddling in disinformation.
Side note: - I don't understand why classes are needed here.
instead of

procedure = [
CreateSSHKeypairStep(),
GitCommitStep(),
WaitForBuildStep(),
RetrieveUserEmailStep(),
SendPrivateKeyStep(),
]
for step in procedure:
step.run(context)

Why not make them functions instead of classes. The URLs can be locals instead of class variables and the context argument becomes an argument to the function rather than a run method.

procedure = [
createSSHKeypairStep,
gitCommitStep,
waitForBuildStep,
retrieveUserEmailStep,
sendPrivateKeyStep,
]
for step in procedure:
step(context)

The OO is just gratuitous. Personally I probably wouldn't even bother with the for loop/context and would just pass the data that's actually needed by each function into it manually.

createSSHKeypairStep(username)
gitCommitStep(username)
waitForBuildStep()
email = retrieveUserEmailStep(username)
sendPrivateKeyStep(email)

I get that it feels more modular - "oh all I need to do to add a step is add it to the list!" But like, all you need to do to add a step is add a line of code. There's no difference.

Much easier to see how the data is actually flowing that way. I found the fact that the context was mutated in a function it was passed into kind of gross. It's just globals with extra steps. Besides, this is less LOC anyway.

I think it makes sense to vaccinate vulnerable populations. Elderly, and those with comorbidities, however, pre-adolescents I don’t think need it, especially as we don’t know long term effects on the young. For old folks, the reward is well worth any risk. For youngsters given their risk profile, I’m not so sure as we lack information given the trials on youngsters were short and we don’t have long term data.
It could work if B2 customers use the service in a diverse enough variety of patterns to where the economics still work out in aggregate.
I agree with you 100% except I don't think that people trying to buy some houses to maintain and rent out are the problem. Mainly these huge corporations, esp. things like Tesla, and Arms corporations, that for decades have leeched from the middle class and gov contracts. Our gov is captured, dems can't keep a positive rating after trump because they wont pass anything meaningful.
your first reference doesn't support your claim
I went over the link and it does not explicitly include Ukraine. Instead it explicitly lists out the specific individuals and entities subject to the sanctions in this incredibly long and detailed list:

https://www.treasury.gov/ofac/downloads/sdnlist.txt

All your link does is reference the rationale for why certain individuals and entities are part of the SDN list, namely violating the territorial integrity of Ukraine, but no where in anything you've linked to does it state that Ukraine is in general subject to sanctions.
That assertion is absurd. Policy making is so much more nuanced than maximising economic growth and productivity, look as subsidies and protection of interest groups at economic cost. Tobacco and alcohol are both legal

Yes in fact that's what we had to do with fibers (see for example folly::runInMainContext()) but that means that all code that may be called from a fiber needs to be fiber-aware, which is not ideal.
Back in the early 1990s we used a collaborative text editor on SparcStations running OSF/motif. I can’t remember the program name but it was pretty incredible for the time and useful for CS classes. I think it was limited to 4 concurrent editors.
Amen! Thanks for sharing!

I would like to add that _all_ of my blood markers improved to completely normal levels when doing keto. Except for cholesterol, which improved too (HDL and LDL) but not to "normal" levels. I've been on statins before (up to max dose over ~15 years) and it did nothing except to cause muscle pain as the dose went up, which caused me to stop them, because the heart is a muscle and a serious (if seldom) side effect of statins is to cause muscles (including the heart) to do things they shouldn't. In an arm muscle it's painful. In a heart muscle it's deadly.

Same experience with gaslighting from most doctors. Not helpful at all. I figured this all out through experimentation and internet research. What triggered it for me was getting migraines worse than drinking 10 bottles of sweet wine from a 333ml bottle of alcohol free beer. A long research period that also explained a lot of previously just weird experiences. And none of the doctors helped at all.

My current GP is awesome though in that regard. She doesn't know much about this stuff either but she's curious. She googled with me, prescribed the blood tests needed etc. Just awesome!
It's not a great sign for the metaverse that it's such a nebulous concept for so many people. Even "the cloud" could be boiled down to "other people's computers". The internet was hard for people to understand at first, but it didn't have a unified marketing push behind it. So far, a unified marketing push is all there is to the metaverse, and still nobody knows with the f*ck it's supposed to be.

Heh, good luck! Delta's r0 of 6 to 8 is too high to meaningfully avoid. Sure, if you're some sort of hermit, you can probably manage, but if you're in North America, vaccination rates in rural areas will work against you. Frankly, there's no point in taking the risk.

How do you not see that your thinking is the problem? Are you really so arrogant as to blindly write off the political opinions of half the country? Just because the media you consume tells you to do so?

I agree with your on the broader context of a parent being unable to control what a kid does online (or) on the question on whether a parent should really do that; But the parent(thread parent) specifically states that they allow the Messenger of Kids because that allows greater control over their kid's messaging activities and so my question simply is regarding the trust they place on the platform which provides that.

I don't think anyone really thinks that health insurance plans cost $200 vs individual plans being $1400. Just the implication is ridiculous. Our problem wasn't the price, but the coverage. I know my BIL pays $2200 (total, including what his employer pays) and gets excellent plan for him and his wife, whereas us paying $1400 (and this was the same case with the more expensive plans too, coverage didn't change a bit, any doctor who accepted gold, accepted silver too).

My point is, (speaking strictly from a consumer POV) whatever is the reason, the NYC doctors just didn't take Obamacare plans, period.
If you’ve spent any amount of time on Twitter you’ll understand just how dystopian it is to realize it’s the only funnel for writing content online.

It used to be the patient's charts were literally hanging from the foot of the bed and the doctor doing the rounds would flip through them.

Is there any current system that provides that level of frictionless experience for doctors? Or observability that the doctor is actually looking at the charts thoroughly for patients and patient advocates? In my observation there isn't. Although I will say that the ICU doctors I've observed are generally quite conscientious with the digital systems, even though it's clearly about as frictionless for them as JIRA is for us.

Right, yeah, I was thinking physical verification.

Functionality testing could verify known behaviors, but could never formally prove the non-existence of unknown, hostile behaviors.

- "time bomb" style hostile functionality that only unlocks after a certain time

- hostile functionality that can be remotely unlocked by obscure behaviors. think: more advanced versions of port knocking, specially (mis?)crafted TCP/IP payloads

The mRNA isn’t the issue, the delivery methods are the problem. The toxicity of the adjuvants is the problem, mRNA is so fragile it needs extreme cold to store, a unique carrier and redosing with boosters to upkeep strong immunity. It’s very safe, but the externalities that are required are the issue. mRNA is not the issue nor is it unsafe, if they could do it without the current adjuvants there would be no issues.
I think that’s a joke?

I mean, why even encrypt it in that case?

It’s not like the drive is a web service that will detect and block your password attempts…
At that point you're probably screwed anyway.
Winget isn't really a package manager so much as an installer wrangler and frontend for the Microsoft App store. Of the nearly 30,000 manifest files inside the winget repo, fewer than 150 of them define a single dependency. The rest run executable installers that can do basically anything, or just grab an app from the Microsoft Store. It doesn't do anything to eliminate the chaos of every program doing whatever the fuck it wants to get itself installed or create a common ecosystem of integrated packages, which are the main points of package management.

Winget also lacks most of the core functionality of a package manager, including knowing how to uninstall anything at all. But uninstallation will never work reliably on winget anyway, as long as winget an installer wrangler, because installer wranglers inherit unreliable and bespoke per-package installation/uninstallation procedures from existing Windows apps. After a year and a half in public, Winget is still just Chocolatey but faster and much worse in every other respect.

There's basically nothing on offer on Windows if you want a package manager instead of just some automation wrapping executable installers.
(Scoop is the closest thing, and it's sort of just now swinging back from the verge of death after months in limbo.) The fact that Microsoft announced a project and called it a package manager has done more or less nothing to change that.
KDE suffers a quality problem that Gnome does not. I had countless bugs and random issues last time I tried KDE but I have pretty much never had an issue with the core Gnome desktop experience (the bundled programs are another matter).

At first the lack of options on gnome bothered me but then I just accepted the default config and found that it isn't actually important to be able to tweak every single bit of layout and the default config gnome ships is actually really good.
What are you saying? Lol

I could attribute the little use of internet pre-1994 to lack of ISP services, or the fact that people preferred html and modern search engines to the old protocols (ftp, archie, gopher), etc. But 2008, seriously?

I spent lots of hours in internet in college (pre-www) and later paid for CompuServe. By then www was already becoming known. Again, 2008. In what country do you live?

And you should try consuming internet in a desktop or laptop. Even a Chromebook works ok (but a gaming PC is better). Most apps offer a limited experience in mobile, or tablet (it sucks) and seriously, sites render much faster on a fast PC. I can right-click 10 links on the browser, send them to open in the background, consume each tab a close what doesn't work. It is so much nice and faster experience.

I don't accept the premise. Vancouver sure looks a lot different than it did 30 years ago, right? Well, certainly the peninsula/downtown does, but most of the city is still zoned for single-family housing:

http://www.datalabto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/thumb_nai...

Even Vancouver isn't building anywhere near what the demand would support. If people were allowed to build more housing in Vancouver, then they would. [0]

In general, people's intuition on this stuff isn't great, for a few different reasons:

1. Status quo bias. Any change tends to look like a lot of change. This is the, "I can see three cranes from where I'm standing, so we must be in a construction boom" fallacy.

2. Illusion that concentrated change indicates widespread change. People see a lot of development in one part of town and discount that such development is prohibited in 98% of the city. (This one definitely applies to Vancouver.)

3. Failure to account for proportionality. If somebody hears that a city added 5000 units, they'll probably think that's a lot. But is it? What if we're talking about a metro area with 10 million people? It's nothing. Big numbers can end up being small numbers when the scale is large enough.

3. Failure to account for growth in demand/population. We build fewer houses than we did 100 years ago, but we also have many times as many people! So even a static supply is bad, because you have to at least build enough to keep up with growth. And since some cities have seen a sustained surge in demand for the last 2 or 3 decades without enough construction, even seemingly large amounts of recent development might mean that you're still way behind.

[0] I'm aware that Vancouver has made some progress on this. I think they're going to start allowing more duplexes and more housing near SkyTrain stops. I don't follow Vancouver that closely, so I'll just note that I'm aware it's changing.
> has an army of workers who are well paid, yet do not keep up with basic tasks.

has it occured to you that despite this "army of workers", it might not actually be enough people to keep up with the basic tasks? We've had 40 years of the dominant American cultural message being that government is the problem, and in such a climate it would hardly be surprising if government is fundamentally underfunded and understaffed.

How would you appraise the correct level of resources to "keep up with basic tasks" ?
