I would argue that even if you decide that you are using some other language and not English, there is only a well-defined subset of Unicode characters that should ever be allowed in the codebase. Bidi override control characters are clearly not among them, whichever language you choose.

I recently read "Learned Optimism" by Martin Seligman and while I can't say that it has turned me into a beacon of hope and positivity, it has given me some useful tools and insights.

Basically the book helps you dissect some of your thought patterns (mostly focused on the explanations you come up with for things that happen to you), and to steer them into a more positive direction where appropriate.

From what I understand (not an expert) there is some overlap with these techniques and what's used in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) when treating things like depression.
You can't know when exactly the collapse occurred, I think.
Someone else in the thread used the term "chronic bitcher", and that's exactly what I used to be. At any given time I would (subconsciously) look for things to complain about, and I always found them.

I was traveling with some friends, doing my usual complaining every day, when one of them finally asked me to please shut up. At first I was offended, but shortly after realized what I had been doing. Committed to stop doing it there and then.

Because I've been there, I'm now conscious about others having this trait. For many people I think it's an attempt at socializing. Commiserating is an easy way to bond, but if you can't temper it, you just come across as an annoying complainer.

I wrote about this on my blog, and even made a flowchart for what to do when I feel the urge to complain. That particular post is not in English, so I won't share it here.

> if you had to choose to believe if evolution was progressive or completely directionless

We don't have to limit our choices to those two options, and there is a better third one, which undermines the argument before it even got started.

But even if we did limit ourselves to these two options (and I cannot stress enough that there is absolutely no reason to do so), one can still argue that "completely directionless" is a better approximation: evolution has no agency or goal to work towards, it just selects for whatever happens work in any given moment/context. It is the stability of the context that is providing the selection criteria that causes a consistent "direction" to emerge, but as soon as you introduce this explanation we've basically already picked our third option that I mentioned.
Although if we assume any technological progress in the last 35 years a big mac should probably have gotten a little bit cheaper. So the impact of inflation-causing-forces (aka, the reserve banks) is probably higher than 4%.
The book "Private Truths, Public Lies: The Social Consequences of Preference Falsification" by Timur Kuran offers a good model on this topic. It explains why revolutions are so hard to predict.

Because the true preferences of members in a society can be effectively hidden for extended periods, and members all have their own threshold where they may feel compelled to reveal a preference, there is no sure way to foretell the dynamics of a revolution.

> Thankfully we have video recordings of both incidents ...

Thankfully we have outside observers, not enmeshed in the ridiculous "Democrat" vs "Republican" scheme who, based on available evidence - which is really hard to get at, having to dig through all the politically motivated story making out there - can form their own conclusions.

In this case those conclusions happen to coincide with what you label standard Republican talking points: the narrative around race in the divided states of America is driven by a mishmash of Critical Theory [1] related narratives which got their start in academia and moved out into society at large when graduates from those institutions got into positions which enabled them to a) start acting upon their ideas and b) make hiring decisions based on them.

Crony progressivism is just as bad as crony capitalism, both lead to the same outcome.

They also regularly reiterate that the index is meant partially in jest, and that you shouldn't expect it to generalize in any kind of highly accurate way. Also, the leap from forex to inflation is a big one; AFAIK they haven't argued the data is valid to use as you are here, which is different from judging exchange rates (it must surely be normal for various kinds of goods and services to inflate differently, right?). They simply point out that it works surprisingly well for something so simple.

Even assuming the 2% numbers are more representative of the average household, the 4% big mac number sounds entirely consistent with that.

TL;DR: this is interesting, but I don't see how this data clarifies anything.

Well hold on man - why tackle it? So many things genuinely suck that negativity is quite understandable. If what you really mean to ask is "how do I prevent my negativity from hurting my ability to gain power in society?", then we can talk about that. But that is a bit of a different matter.

Yes, but why stop there? Let's increase the powers of the state.

Give them authority to mandate experimental vaccinations. Movement is a privilege, not a freedom. After all, this is an emergency!

Grant them authority to centrally dictate energy consumption and print permission to consume energy via carbon credits. If the climate apocalypse isn't an emergency, I don't know what is!

Better yet, let's move on from that and synthesize both concepts. We need to mandate a cashless society, UBI, proof of vaccination, CBDC, social credit scores, digital IDs and carbon credits.

I'm always surprised how many people openly condemn the previous manufactured crisis and usurpation, while proudly walking into the next. The flippant dismissals of concerns and demands for conformity fit the same pattern. Yet somehow, the fearful appeals always manage to convince members of the public that, "This time is different, it is an emergency!"

I worked on a MySQL-on-RDS setup once where the company was splurging (and being charged through the nose, ofc) on a backing EBS volume with 20k IOPS. Meanwhile nobody had bothered to update the default settings, which limited all background work to use no more than 100 IOPS. Needless to say, this DB had severe performance problems.

Managed databases in the cloud are a bit like ORMs: they significantly reduce the amount of knowledge needed 99% of the time. Sadly, when the 1% of the time hits this also means that nobody on the team has built up the DBA skills required for the big hairy problem. I see this pattern repeated all the time when consulting for startups that just had their first real traction and now the magic database box is no longer working as before.
The legal construction of American rights was unique for its day (and remains unusual), being essentially a big list of freedoms & protections you have, with the assumption that government otherwise has unlimited authority.

Governments across the US then presuppose that if it's not on this list, then they can stop you doing it pretty much arbitrarily, and then write baroque laws to nibble away at what you did have. This is in contrast to the constitutional fundamentals of many older nations that start with the assumption that individuals can do anything, and then make laws saying what's illegal and/or compelled, and it's the rights of government that are limited by default.

Which is more free? I've always taken the view that the axioms of the US style are deceptively less free at an individual level, although this is an opinion often wildly unpopular with many Americans, who are powerfully indoctrinated from birth to assume they're the one true "land of the free". I guess "land of the most overtly protected from government abuses" is a bit of a mouthful.

The saving grace being, it's also the system best aligned with democracy, that famed system of selection whose principal value-add is enabling removal of the most egregious governments every few years without needing an army.

In any case, the consequences of the alternative construction of freedom are felt throughout American society and jurisprudence.
Doesn't really matter. The major browser is intentionally security compromised, anyway.

If you pay the maker of the that browser they'll inject any links you want on most pages on the internet. Just give them the hash of the email / phone number of your target. It helps both economically and passing their security checks if you have more than a thousand victims you want to target.

If you want to fool a developer just host it on a github page. If you want to fool anyone else, just do a decent clone of their page.

I can attest that it happens, even in (natural) languages that use Latin scripts. Sure, "just use en.US-ASCII" is a mitigation, and most (Euroamerican) code follows this; the bug extends to string literals however ("they don't end where you see them // this is actually not part of the string; return;"), so a different approach is needed.
> If you are one of these people who just cannot "let something go", what you can do is write that thing down.

I used to be hypercritical in code review, but I started instead just taking note of small things that didn’t really matter and fixing them myself during downtime.

I feel a little mixed on the solution. On the one hand it has the junior devs less afraid of me and more willing to actually ask for help. On the other hand they’re not learning from some of their mistakes. Life is full of trade offs though.

I don't know, anecdotally it seems to me that Consul is more popular than Zookeeper.

But yeah, you should go with the one you know best, especially at any sort of scale.

Vault is the most popular secrets manager out there, and has a lot of advantages over something like Kubernetes secrets ( which aren't even encrypted). Nomad is a bit obscure but IMHO it seems to be gaining momentum.
Yes or yes. However it comes down to time or resolution with MR. You can’t have both.
To be fair Nomad failed because it's reliant on Consul. This would be the equivalent of having a k8s outage because etcd is down.

Their mistake here is thinking that because you can understand the code of a higher level service that somehow you don't need deep knowledge of it's dependencies.

That is a deeply naive view and they paid the price.
I think it's explained quite well in the introduction text:

> M1 macs tend to have issues with custom resolutions. Notoriously they don't allow sub-4K resolution displays to have HiDPI ("Retina") resolutions even though (for example) a 24" QHD 1440p display would greatly benefit from having an 1920x1080 HiDPI "Retina" mode.

So, if you connect a non-4k display, the Mac will render in a way that won't look as sharp as the display could.

If you are in the marked for a new display, just but a 4K model (unless you have good reasons not to) and you won't need this hack.

It's not a stealth cash wealth tax. It's literal debt forgiveness. You can even call it a collectivized form of continuous insolvency. E.g. instead of every 20th debt contract being forgiven entirely 5% of every debt contract is forgiven.

The benefit is that if the creditors (mostly upper classes) refuse to forgive the debt then you don't need an angry mob with pitchforks to cancel the contract (revolution).
Clicking a suspected phishing link is a failure, given the absolutely ridiculous amount of potential malware vectors such a site can have. Of course, a good phishing audit also tracks whether or not credentials are leaked (and ideally whether or not these credentials could be real).

With "audits" I refer to checkups that policies are being followed. As for whether or not your phishing audits are good, I cannot say :) I have seen some very good ones, as the best audits are based on (different tiers of) successful phishing campaigns seen in real life.

If you feel that your company could do better, you could always try to speak to your security team about this. It helps the people working there as much as it helps the company, folks falling for phishing happens in all walks of life.

I still wonder though, just how much production non-comment source code is not written in the ASCII character set.

The libraries of most programming languages (developed in the west) are in ASCII - frameworks and middleware too. Have people in countries like Japan and China actually translated all of that code - renaming functions, classes, and variable names to their native tongue in Unicode - or do they just learn the English names (they are all nouns/pronouns and at most simple phrases so translation should not be too difficult; they don’t have to understand English grammar).

How does this work? Don't you have to scale the virtual 5k resolution down to 4k? Wouldn't that also generate fuzziness?

Can I have a 27” ipad running macos and a new 3D CAD software with an open source kernel and apple UI design, scriptable in swift. A bit like a Parasolid sketchup designed for interaction with pencil and touch. Logic Audio for 3D modelling. Apple could get the ui metaphors, interaction UX and the plugin API right. Industries could provide thier own customisations as plugins. Or go and build thier own products arounds the open source kernel and file format. Apple’s advantage could be that customisations to thier UI are as easy to build and distribute as an iphone app. High quality open source kernel and file format so it becomes the de-facto way to exchange 3d model information and we dont need to import and export data between systems like now.

The only solution I've found is to all sit on a call, and pay attention to people's tone of voice, but I don't know whether that actually contributes to people's stress levels.
