Or we could just not zone as heavily? A recent building near me got blocked because it would add 0.001% (I know it sounds like hyperbole, but I promise I'm being dead serious that was the number) shadow to a nearby park. That is absurd and to pin it on "silicon valley workers" is nativist and dumb.
How does it compare with tools like AppSmith?
Don’t think you are judging. Comment definitely just came from position of what I infer as having privilege:

- 10 year retirement (no idea your age but assuming this earlier retirement/semi-retirement)

- Rental properties that are cash flow positive (require in most circumstances a bigger down payment)

- Assuming others have enough income left over to put into the stock market after rent. Don’t consider madness for families to balance their lifestyle and savings

Either way, I believe the majority of these homes Zillow bought are more towards the lower-middle class budgets. Which is kind of my point on frustration with the inflated cost. It’s a much bigger impact than a lot of tech bros/girls probably feel personally.
It's fine to have religious beliefs. No one was forcing churches to perform gay marriages, so there was no reason to get the state constitution involved. There was no real reason to support Prop 8 unless your goal was to "lessen the status and dignity of gays and lesbians, and classify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples."[1]

Very touching video, your girlfriend/fiancee looked so positive, happy and joyful. Sometimes the randomness of the universe and the human body can be cruel and nonsensical.

I'm incredibly sorry for your loss. I'm happy that you had the time with this wonderful woman and that you have the memories, even though I'm sure right now everything is still raw. Godspeed.
Much more infamous.

I think you highlighted an important concept. Rather than overpay, people can look further out from a city center and get cheaper housing. Sure the commute may be longer but there has been a lot of remote working over the last year or so, many companies going fully remote.

Home buyers have many choices and at a certain price, its simply too much and they go elsewhere.

I think zillow is trying to unload their mistake onto some entity they can convince it is still worth it.
Externally, with customers, sure. I agree that we are ultimately doing this for people.

But internally, I do not think that having requirements filter through ever-growing and increasingly specialized teams is a net positive. Early in my career I worked directly with stakeholders and shareholders, and I was empowered to build and deploy things that solved their issues, often from scratch. And I did exactly that, and it felt great!

When I quit, I worked mainly with my product manager, who in turn interfaced with god knows how many people, and only receive tasks after they were parceled out and dispatched to me via JIRA, where I could only see a small part of the picture and I was held to arbitrary metrics on performance.

Things were much better when we programmers were a weird and mysterious rainmakers that the higher-ups didn't understand. This newer, more gentrified profession is ... a lot less enjoyable to work in.
what a flex on your new M1 MAX ;) But yeah, homebrew should ship as default with any OS X at this point...
"Everyone has the same access to marriage, interracial couples just don't want to marry someone of the same skin color."

No it's about the right for gays to access a legal secular institution. Civil unions do not confer all the rights and privileges of marriage. One of the possible resolutions to gay marriage was to make the legal institution for everyone called a civil-union but that proposal died almost immediately in the mid 2000s.

I’m imagining a future update that increases their ad revenue by 10% due to a bug that randomly ends calls prematurely, thus creating more ad views.

I would never take on a PhD student that wants to continue working elsewhere

We have several people at the company I work (in Sweden) doing their PhD part time. The company gets 'free' research in an area relevant to them and the university gets connections to industry and their research field tested on real world projects. Both se it as a win-win. This sort of arrangement seems quite common in Sweden I know several people who got their PhD this way.
Maybe I dont understand (which I am open too) but it does not seem to make sense unless we transition to a centrally managed economy. Supply and demand drive the price of housing. Whether a house is purchased as an investment or not, it will appreciate based on a variety of factors, including quality of schools, proximity to jobs, etc. If the price of housing did not fluctuate based on demand, and everyone could afford a house anywhere they wanted, who determines who gets the house? House A is on sale and 15 families can afford it. In the current situation, the highest offer takes it. If all offers were forced to be the same, who gets the house? How do you account for bias in the decision process?

You're arguing against a strawman. This

>software is ultimately about people.

does not contradict this

>more people need to care about the quality of the final output than whether or not the guy who wrote it is "a nice fellow".

GP is very clearly saying that software has to be written to satisfy customers. It is the process and the quality of outcome they have a problem with, not the focus.
Exactly, if writing is difficult or unnatural to you, oratory is a reasonable alternative.

Try talking instead of writing. It can be a podcast, youtube, or on a soap box in Hyde Park.
Is Apple still the only company you can pay for both hardware and software support? Because all I want is to drop down a couple grand and never have to think about "computer maintenance" again. I maintain my car myself because it's so infrequent (pretty much just oil changes) but it feels like my computer maintenance is constant.

One of the reasons for that constant maintenance seems to be The Web. Remember when you didn't need 4 gigs of ram to browse the web? When you didn't need a high-power 3D graphics card to look at Google Maps? (bad example but WebGL is mandatory for some simple sites, and if your graphics sucks/doesn't do hardware acceleration...)

I don't remember ever having to upgrade my car every few years just to visit a new local business. At some point we need to admit that this constant tech churn isn't improving our lives, but it is enriching some billionaires.

Except that you can teach them things.

It's hard to teach an unfriendly person anything, and it's impossible to teach an arrogant asshole anything at all, because they think they're better than anyone else.

Depending on how far in the past your experience came from, it may be worth mucking around on a spare machine if you have one from time to time. I transitioned from EL8 to F34 earlier this year (moved to F35 this past weekend) and for my use cases it's been wonderfully solid.

Flatpak + user maintained copr's have been mostly able to fill that void for me. The only package I've had to compile so far (that would have been available in the AUR) is wrk, a HTTP benchmarking tool. There is a copr available for it, but it doesn't seem to have builds for Fedora 34/35.

We dont need english historians to show how psycopath tipu was.

Tipu issued many decree's claiming how he converted lakhs of hindus, and describing in detail what he will do to people who didn't convert. In some cases, going into detail on how the non-believers will be striken down like moses struck the pharoahs.

"I'm surprised how many of these "alternative voices" reject western narratives about India but are all too happy to parrot colonial talking points about Muslims."

The same can be said about you, Indians dont talk trash about qutub shahi's, who are just & kind.
But, when the topic of aurangazeb and tipu's cruelty comes up, gets triggered with out looking at evidence.
This is a given. It's human nature.

Unfortunately, in the context of business, where it goes wrong is too often the less competent are able to undermine the more competent in terms of career, influence" etc.

Business doesn't mitigate jealousy, "hating", etc. Sadly, too many managers and leaders are oblivious.
It’d be nice if it asked if it’s ok to remove old versions of dependencies when installing a new package. It’d also be nice for it to not upgrade, say, wireshark and nginx when installing, say, ffmpeg, without asking first.
I feel like a lot of the 'non goals' are things that come from fundamental design qualities. plan for time signatures and tempo changes, make rendering audio pluggable from the start.

ISDN was very, very popular outside the United States. Hell, Tokyo's payphones used to have ISDN jacks for laptop users.

Tadpole later became a vendor that almost exclusively targeted the US military, but it didn't start out that way. I imagine those ISDN jacks saw a lot of use by European and Asian customers.
So why do you care what they call it?

Lots of data dredging here.
I am Python dev and I never heard of someone using brew to install virtualenv before. I think that you are using brew for the wrong purposes, I suggest the following instead:

- Python already includes the venv module, you don't need to install anything, just run `python -m venv <venv_dir>`

- You should manage multiple versions with pyenv instead of brew. Pyenv can be installed with brew.

We discount the value of psychological safety too. Nobody wants to look stupid, especially in front of others, and if you punish people for mistakes then they either stop interacting with you or all of your interactions are engineered to avoid those situations. At this point candor has gone out the window, and your impression of what's really going on becomes progressively more inaccurate.

I have a couple coworkers who say, "I haven't heard of any of this," as if it's a statement that a problem doesn't exist, instead of a realization that they're in the dark on something important. It's because one feeds you optimism, and the other is grouchy and writes exhaustingly byzantine code and then doesn't understand why people don't think he's brilliant (I think this is the root of most of the grouchiness).

FORTRAN devs are also pretty expensive. There are fewer people who can write FORTRAN and there is a lack of allure to a job that involves maintaining legacy code.

Sadly a lot of Ruby code written in 2010ish is also considered "Legacy" code and even people who previously did Ruby don't want to do it, not because of any destestment of the language. One company even specifically asked me if I would be "okay" with writing Ruby code from time to time.
The DAG is labelled. Most labels are boringly "parent: commithash". In the raw plumbing you can build other labels, a "cherry-picks: commithash" or a "replaces: commithash" or all sorts of things. git log won't follow such edges today, but it doesn't need to, and a lot of the folks that don't like the DAG aesthetically might prefer that anyway, but the assumptions that "parent: commithash" are the "only" edges in the DAG aren't baked in as much as people assume. For instance, think about git notes, they can have some pretty exotic edges. Again, not many people use that power today and most of the git "porcelain" has no idea what to do with it, but the DAG as a raw data-structure absolutely supports it.
did brew leaves from your old machine not hey you a transferrable list of packages?
If only thing you will do is to control calories, you are pretty much guaranteed to get into the yoyo cycle of loosing/gaining weight. Majority, like almost all, people who only focus on calories stop performing in their lives, becomes tired/sick, give up and gain weight.

If you are overweight, if your concern is not purely temporary esthetic, focusing on calories control is receipt for long term failure.

Also, the exercise is not done only so that you immediately spend some calories. It is to build muscle, raise temperature, speed up your metabolism. All these affects you calorie consumption long term.

High level competitive sport has nothing to do anything. It has zero to do with what average adult experiences.
This is the third article I've commented about this, but it just confirms my belief that Ryan Peterson's tweets were all smoke and mirrors. I'm very sure he's a very nice - and very rich man, but I could do less with his crapola.
I'm guilty of effectively ending friendships after seeing things former-friends have posted or stated online. In most cases, their posts or social media content revealed fundamental hypocrisy in what they said versus how they lived, or a belief-system in direct contrast to my own. I really had a hard time with that, and decided that I didn't want to talk to the person anymore. In one case, it was somebody I'd known since like 4th grade.

It's hard to want to be friends with someone that might support the abolishment of something you like, or that supports something you should feel abolished (does it matter which?). It's still possible, but I've found that I eventually figure out where someone stands on something and gravitate away from them, even without social media. Ultimately one of the biggest problems is the total lack of civil discourse. If that was more prevalent, I think it would be easier to have friends with opposing views. Nowadays, people throw up their arms and accuse you of being X when they can't articulately argue a position. That gets tiring.

As the article mentions, in some cases, social media reveals the depths of someone's political positions, personal beliefs, or other that you might not have known. Is it worse to know those things, versus not know? Hard to say, but I personally like to have things in common with my friends. There are no easy answers here, so my personal solution was dumping most social media, like Facebook and Instagram. I hate Twitter, but find myself having to use it to keep up with news in the infosec community; even if the group on Twitter is an echo-chamber club that mostly uses their "status" in the community to influence on topics other than cyber (super annoying).

All I know is, my peace of mind seems to be much better without social media; I don't miss it at all.

I bought in Northern Virginia this year, and lost 3 or 4 offers to competitors that were 15-20% over asking. Standard was always no contingencies (no inspection, no financing, nothing) and settle as fast as the mortgage company could underwrite you. You had to really trust your mortgage broker and your agent to pull through. Probably saw 50 houses before getting lucky on an offer because our agent had a connection. It was a pretty awful experience and you were forced to make a terrifying decision very quickly. I still remember the surreal experiencing of clicking the DocuSign button that evening that would result in me being on the hook for multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars...
I've been using this script for years, and it works great: https://mazzo.li/posts/autoscreen.html

It's very much like eternal terminal, but requires no upfront setup apart from having screen installed on the server.
It really doesn't help when the institutionally dominant side insists that the only way someone could possibly become conservative/republican/right leaning is by falling victim to Fox news propaganda.

There's far more nuance to the discussions regarding, say, border security, entitlement spending, immigration reform, etc beyond accusations of racism and xenophobia. It's quite possible for two people to look at the same set of data and come to different conclusions because of differing value systems, priorities, risk tolerance, etc.

Maybe part of the problem is this insistence that our platforms are justified in censoring opinions because of this false belief that if two people differ in political opinion, one side must be mislead by "misinformation".
I like how it shows people've been worried about that, and working on the problem, for about as long as we've had writing, at least. Seems we've pretty much never not worried about death, which makes sense, but it's comforting to have confirmation that it's such an enduring part of the human condition, I guess. Egyptian literature backs that up, as do practices in China—in fact, it seems like almost anywhere there were rich kings, they were very concerned with attaining immortality.

And hey, sooner or later, maybe someone will manage it. But most of these rich folks freezing their heads are just Gilgamesh. Same shit as 4000+ years ago.
I guess that's a good argument for writing, even if you don't want to.

He who tells the best story gathers the greatest audience and gets the credit -- and reward.

And good writing will be around a million years after MySpace and YouTube are long gone. Benjamin Franklin will be remembered and more highly regarded than Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk -- in their own lifetimes.
Philosophical question: does it matter whether the people doing the flagging the content are governments or activists or employees? To me it seems like a marginal difference. Yes I understand there is a power differential in that a government typically has an army and a monopoly on use of force. However, the effects of censorship are just as strong whether the policies are pushed by a centralized authoritarian government or a decentralized web of motivated political activists. The best FB can probably do is to allow free speech maximally within the bounds of their local jurisdiction.
I think a big advantage of Fedora (also Ubuntu) is that a lot of its maintainers are being paid by Red Hat to maintain it. A lot of times your bug reports are going to be quickly read, you know it's very likely there is someone who is getting paid to ensure whatever problems you may have, don't happen. I know a lot of other distros have this too, but Red Hat employs a lot of Fedora maintainers.

OTOH, you're kinda subject to Red Hat's will. But then, every project is subject to its controllers. It's not like the Debian people are doing a good job just because they're not subject to a for-profit company.

Personally, I am very thankful for fact that the Fedora project is often the first to adopt certain technologies and inflict in their users the pain of fixing the first bugs and stabilizing the technology. Then a few years later I get it in Debian and it works just fine.
> Trustworthiness is not hard to define at all. When a coworker tells you they will do something, do they do it?

And the devil is in the details:

- Will ALL of the request be addressed, or will some parts be omitted without the omissions being surfaced explicitly?

- Will this person ask questions and/or look carefully at context to resolve any ambiguities in the ask? Or will they just kind of assume what you mean, ignoring any ambiguity or context that conflicts with their assumption, and not communicate any of the assumptions they made or thought process behind those?

- Will they be thoughtful about unintended consequences of the ask and surface those, or just do literally what was requested, let the shit hit the fan, and blame you if anything goes wrong?
I have a related question to the OP.

What security would you recommend to run on an unreliable connection?

To be specific, I have IoT devices which connect to the cloud using MQTT-SN. We use MQTT-SN because the underlying connection is NB-IoT (required for high penetration into difficult to reach areas). The latency on NB-IoT is quite high, which can lead to problems with TCP timeouts - so we have been recommended by the network operator to use UDP not TCP, which in turn leads to MQTT-SN, as it supports QoS 0 (unacknowledged).

But we are also very aware of security issues - so how would you put something like TLS onto a UDP datastream?
