I went to HS in rural Oregon where the "you need to go to college to succeed" didn't work for most of the students. Trade options like metal shop, wood shop and construction slowly got less funding or were dropped all together. Those things kept a lot of HS kids interested enough to stay long enough to graduate, let alone have a future career.

Don't worry, Oregon tried a new test and sent every HS student at Lincoln High School a $1400 debit card a few months ago "accidentally". I'm sure that will help reduce poverty and nutrition. Don't worry...it just came at the expense of federal tax payers.

LINQ is best when used on in-memory object graphs, partly for the reasons you brought up, and partly because then you're not dealing with weird limitations or deviations from how functions normally work etc. For in-memory queries, it's basically just a very advanced form of sequence comprehensions.

(I also suspect that the vast majority of LINQ code in the wild is of that variety, rather than Entity Framework etc.)
What markets was zillow operating in? If it was in a particularly constrained market, there is no top over say a decade of ownership. Zillow could hold and rent properties and in 10 years, even if we had 2008.2 tomorrow, they'd be worth more than they are today. Then again that sort of longterm investment thinking doesn't click with modern shareholder controlled companies.
Yea the site is slow. BUT WOW! Super cool concept. And looks very fun. I can't wait to try this out with friends at our next game night.
Absolute bullshit, they should be liable for interest AND a massive penalty.
Yes, let’s build the Android app on iOS :)
Thanks for this summary - I'm interested in Portugal, depending on how things will further develop here in the UK.

You should write more about your off-grid living in Portugal and how you managed the move etc. I'd be interested in that.

What are your views on climate change and how it will impact Portugal say a decade from now, i.e. will it still be a good place to live?
Lotus Notes.. :-)

Seriously though, visual coding/drag and drop etc are great for non-technical users but in my experience the issue isn't code vs. icons. I worked in corporate workflow development for around 15 years using guess what, Lotus Notes, and the 'real' problem was getting end users to think programmatically, not remember syntax / tools. You can have all the easy to use tools in the world, but you still need to really be able to think through a process.
The only time I tried to use Discord it demanded I send them my government ID.
> But pretending that Apple is somehow the worst, when they are categorically far from it, is just disingenuous and frankly boring.

Apple is pioneering an extremely anti-consumer system and once they prove it'll be tolerated (and extremely profitable), every other manufacturer will do the same, so I don't think it's completely unfair to paint them as being one of the worst participants in the idea.

I definitely don't think Samsung or Google are better. They're the same and they'll participate in the same type of schemes.

The problem that I have is that everyone is going to do this. We'll have artificially restricted supply on everything we buy and the total cost of ownership will increase accordingly. I don't want that system, but I'm going to be forced into it because not enough people can understand the long term, negative consequences for the average person.

> Buy a different brand, then.

I do. I've always bought LG phones after they've been on the market long enough to be discounted. I try to get them for $300 or less and my cost average on phones for the last 6-8 years has been about $100 per year. I also pay $<20 per month for a phone plan that only includes 1GB of rate limited data and I limit my usage to important things like tethering my laptop for RDP.

It's easy to use "vote with your wallet" as a response to criticism, but some of us actually do. I do it because I can see a terrible future where parts serialization, planned obsolescence, and subscription repair plans foster an era of non-ownership. If we let it happen it's going to be nasty and anyone who's not rich is going to suffer pretty badly IMO.
A seal is supposed to be difficult to counterfeit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/4xqfs0/how_w...

As such, there is an argument that a seal refers to a physical object with physical imperfections, which are hard to reproduce. Note that the article is about the "design" for the seal, as distinct from the seal itself. Maybe the plan is to manufacture a physical seal off the design (complete with manufacturing imperfections) then use that to make impressions?
They should have just billed you - they reversed the charges (for your own issue) and you aren't happy.

I think folks are used to being pretty catered to.

And yes, being able to play with 4TB databases in the cloud and huge GPU instances is a "liability" - you pay for what you use.

Google actually gives you a lot of data about jobs folks are running - check out

What PII are you putting on a forum? All I can think of is email and password. Your password should be unique to the forum, and I would hardly say that an email address is PII. If you're super worried about email, just use an alias.
Yeah but that isn't the case for Discourse
Your mention of NNTP reading/posting caught my interest, but I wasn't able to find any mention of it on tade.link; is that perhaps a now-deprecated feature, or is it just not documented?

That's the problem of the left or you: labeling. You don't like a piece of information, then it's right wing, it's racism, it's whatever you call. I just want to know if something true. Did CNN report say "a mostly peaceful protest" in front of a burning building or not? Did Joy Reid's guest say "black mouth running white idea" or not? Did Seattle government tell its employees that white people are racists or not? Did Smithsonian museum put up poster that says being objective is whiteness or not?

Well, I guess facts do not matter to you, just like facts did not matter to the Chinese back in the 1960s, right? Just your narrative, even if means that millions of people are hurt or killed.
Yeah. There are lots of hard capped options...just not among the big clouds. Which is fair

I just don't get why the big 3 haven't tried to undercut their competition with this.

It's a very easy way to attract casual dabblers and enthusiasts to your platforms
> Do they know when I'm having sex if I leave the phone on my bed?

After reading TFA it sure sounds like they do.
It will work because the value passed to proc multiline within the curly braces is treated as a string without substitutions, that value is then passed to the regsub command which replaces all newlines in the string with spaces, then the result is passed to uplevel, which is basically "eval this string in the scope context where multiline was called". It's uplevel that does all the variable substitution, using any values defined in the scope where multiline was executed.
You can still rack up a huge bill if you run a public web service and don't monitor the alerts 24x7.
This is for zsh.

If you are using bash, here's an alternative to save the commands, their start time, stop time, and eventual error code, in a SQLite database that you can query with fzy: https://github.com/csdvrx/bash-timestamping-sqlite

With the mappings, Ctrl-R will do a search history restricted to the current directory AND to successful execution (return == 0), while Ctrl-T will do a global history search for all directories and return values.

EDIT: to answer a question I've seen posted below, if you want to only navigate the commands from the current directory, do Ctrl-R then use the arrows: the command are by default sorted by the time they where previously run. If you then start typing letters, it will filter these commands using fzy.
I really miss NNTP. I appreciate that spam was a huge problem, but it was really nice being able to discover and subscribe to a large number of topics and navigate them all from the same tool. And there was innovation in the client space.

Reddit is probably the closest alternative I know of today. But, several communities treat an associated sub-reddit as unofficial in favor of their Discourse instance. However, I simply can't navigate 20 different Discourse instances every day. Likewise, I can't keep hopping between different Discord or Slack workspaces/servers. Yes, they're in the same client, but I have to keep making expensive context changes to load channels from each server.

As a result, I've mostly given up. There are a few communities I'm attached to that I'll put up with the poor tooling, but the others are basically invisible if there isn't a sub-reddit. I'd suspect this has made communities more insular, even if the tooling is less obtuse than something like IRC.

Not the person you replied to, but I really feel like enforcement must be a pretty substantial part of what stops people from speeding and driving recklessly, given that traffic enforcement has been de-emphasized since the start of the pandemic and the number of road fatalities has gone up more than 7 percent, even though the actual number of miles driven has gone down.

https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/2020-fatality-data-show...

If people drive at whatever speed they think is safe, then why would the aggregate number of people dying on roadways ever go up when miles driven by the same population goes down? Here are the possibilities:

1. Driving has become more risky due to external, uncontrollable factors, like weather or road changes that motorists can't account for or

2. People are modifying their behavior.

Why would they modify their behavior? The roads haven't changed. The speed limits haven't changed. What has changed? More people are dead because of extreme speed and reckless driving on roadways, which kind of suggests that traffic enforcement did at least prevent some of those deaths.
Cool as a cucumber that has been cut off from every single account they have the moment somebody at Google (or an algorithm) doesn't like you. Good luck!
IPFS is distinct from filecoin.

IPFS works, although performance might be an issue for rarely-requested files since most of them (file blocks) will require multiple hops to get to. If the file's stored on some reliable ipfs node(s), anywhere, you'll be able to access that file eventually.

Filecoin, however noble it may be, doesn't seem to be taking off (yet). IPFS doesn't currently work very well as a storage service because there's no guaranteed storage by others. Even if filecoin achieved mass adoption, you'd have to pay someone to host your files to get reliable 3rd party storage, and that offered fee might not be adequate motivation.

IPFS works perfectly well, though, for hosting file(s) yourself without the risk of getting your network link saturated if popularity of the file(s) increases a lot. As an auto-scaling CDN, it works great, though with poor performance for rarely accessed files. The solution to the file storage problem, it seems to me, is to integrate existing CDNs with ipfs, to allow fast serving of rarely-accessed files for low cost, and then cease serving it from the CDN once a file is popular enough that it's getting duplicated by a bunch of IPFS nodes for free. Maybe cloudflare can plug that rarely-accessed-file gap and offer file access, integrated with ipfs, at zero hosting cost.
It's been there for a while:

Same here, I least I know this will consistent across platforms.
> I bet most who thinks they are a "false negative" also would claim to have "impostor syndrome"

I don't think this could be true? If you think you don't belong/deserve the job (imposter)... why would you think you deserved the job (false negative).
That's a bit hard to believe; it would seem to depend on the tax. Do you have any basis for it?
Love it! Great initiative, these games are fun. We played a lot of 'Space Team' on the phone, cool to see collaborative puzzle games evolve.

It super, super bugs me that black has two light square bishops in the chess puzzle :) (and the labels are the wrong way round)
I agree completely.

Continuing the conversation, and using it as a launching point for something substantial, is a reasonable reaction.

Stopping the conversation with a friendly dismissal, a "chuckle and a reply and off you go" as you said, is a reasonable reaction.

Reacting rudely and thinking "who are you, why are you subjecting me to the labor and chore of talking to you?" is not a reasonable reaction.
Welcome to the 99.999999999%.
C# is already evolving fast enough that quite a few devs are uncomfortable with it. Speaking strictly for myself, I love getting new language features faster - but there's a balance to strike here for the overall good of the ecosystem. You don't want to drive out all the people who can't keep up.
I'm a contractor working full time on a project. If something is not done after 7 hours of continuous work, it may as well wait for tomorrow as I will be very tired and less than performant. Also mental health. I've been burned out previously and it was not pleasant. I try to separate work and personal life as much as I can (mostly virtually, as I'm working from home). If I had an office space, I would leave my desktop there.

Xenforo is excellent forum software.
I always respect when people take the time to put a small but useful thing like this up in a repo by itself.

It has always been a frustration that the current working directory metadata isn't saved along with history entries, so you can never really reconstruct what was run.

Edit: I should really try out https://github.com/larkery/zsh-histdb. There's no reason a modern system's history shouldn't store start and finish timestamps, return code, current working directory, etc.
Yet paid software has delivered so little in many cases, seems problems are not related to whether you pay or not.
Does any one know why do web pages even have access to my accelerometer data without prompt?
Do people actually use zillow for buying or just for perusing? Most of the listings on my zillow are these stale 60 day old listings where there is obviously something wrong with the listing, it doesn't look like the actual market that realtors are using considering homes here sell so fast. My understanding is real estate moves too quickly and you are going to be putting offers on homes your realtor shows you before they even hit market let alone aggregated on zillow.
A criminally underused word, in my opinion. Fun to say too.
no one mentioned banning and the OP is about recognition not enforcement
And what exactly are you going to use your 4k 120hz screen for? It's not like there's a great need for it, when most people use their computers to stream 720p@30hz videos or worse, or don't have graphics devices capable of rendering games or even a desktop at 4k@120hz.

The industry has been pushing HDR and support for variable refresh rate, and that seems way more useful than 4k@120hz, but it's another thing consumers won't be able to notice unless they try really really hard.

Edit: also, does either DP or HDMI support 4k@120hz? I'm still running my 4k monitor at 30hz because my employer doesn't want to buy me a freaking HDMI 2.0 cable!
In theory one could use disposable sim cards, but they're easily traceable and even if you rotate the cards very frequently, it'd still be easy to pinpoint who and where you are. The logistics is also infeasible.

But I wouldn't trust TG on that area either. If a government really wants to, they can certainly exploit encryption flaws in the TG protocol and get you. Not as easy as tracing SIM cards, but definitely possible and within govs reach
"I don't want that either."

Then use a password manager. Pick your poison.

Thats how we end up with apps without passeords, with just phone number/sms verification
> We will not charge you more than $100 no matter what. Sure that doesn't work for enterprise stuff that has to be online, but there is a big market for people that can swallow $100 accidents but not 15k

I’m sure this market is actually tiny
I sure want to believe this is the last tooling I’ll need to use for Python tooling nirvana, but that’s what they told me about pip, pip3, venv, vitrualenv, conda.. And one coworker just suggested I just run the script in Docker. Ugh
If you are logged in as root, you can do anything.

If you are logged in as a sudo user, provided allowing only an ssh key, can you can't do anything unless:

- you know the password

- you trick the user into doing the action for you (E.G: a line in the bashrc)

The first one will slow down the attaker, the second one may trigger the user BS detector.
This is such a great idea, but what's even more useful would be to make arrow keys only traverse the commands ran in the current directory. Would there be any prior art?
YES - I hope we see a return to mid-2000s approaches for web applications across the board. I'll take 2008 Google Maps over 2021 Google maps. Heck, I'll take 2008 Google SEARCH over 2021 Google Search. Things have regressed over the past decade.
> Why do people use Slack/Discord/etc?

One reason seems missing: chat is arguably easier to set up and maintain.

Synchronous communication also means that messages won’t pile up.

No past content means fewer places to keep up to date; plus there are always users who ask questions without reading existing topics.

I could give more examples; to me chat seems a more lean approach.
Not sure.

I get what they are trying to achieve.

But the branches interweaving the letters makes it harder to read and it feels jarring.
In all fairness, at one point you could actually make sense of things.

Unless I'm misremembering, until recently Avalonia was still being touted as primarily a replacement for Desktop WPF. I was shocked to see they're talking about mobile now too. I guess it's somewhat expected.

Uno basically does what MAUI does. The main difference being, Uno has been around for a while longer and something you've been able to use for some time. I'm pretty sure they had usable versions for well over a year before MAUI was even announced.

In any case...

Microsoft's UI story is a non-starter until they get back to the point that a user can:

- Click new project
- Fill out the form
- Get a Design window,
- Drag a 'Textbox' into the design window,
- Drag a 'Button' into the design window,
- Double click on the button, get taken into a generated event handler, and the user can intuitively put in the right code (i.e. updating the viewmodel with 'hello world'.)
- Click 'run'

That's the Story that got an untold number of new developers -enamored- with VB6, a language that got so entrenched Microsoft had a hard time killing it. It brought a number of developers into the world of C#, making it easy for to write applications used at work that a whole team could use. That's actually how I 'eased' into programming at my first workplace; I wrote an app with a big ugly panel and a bunch of big buttons with labels that would automate tasks. Need a variation on a theme? Drag a new button over, maybe do some light refactoring, test, publish, tell the guys to restart the app. 10-15 minutes tops.

Sure, Eventually I had to go through a spaghetti mess of callbacks and crappy generated code, but it was good refactoring practice ;). And when I left the company, someone else took over the code and now they are a software developer too.
I’m one of these people. The reality is that I am too tall to fit comfortably in the seat and need to stretch my legs to get the blood flowing since it is hard to sit with your knees compressed for long periods of time.
Same thing happens to me. It just goes to show the disdain they have for users who don't just click an ad on the front page like they want
I have two M1 Airs. The 8GB/256GB is not a dog - far from it. It’s used for ‘family’ stuff. It’s never given the slightest indication of struggling with anything it’s been asked to do.
On the technical side, the biggest productivity gain is from having a garbage collector. Beyond that, language features: while C# 1.0 started in a spot very similar to Delphi (+GC), it evolved much faster - e.g. getting generics in 2005.

But, yes, if you looked at it in 1.x days, it really looked a lot like Delphi libraries with Java-like syntax. So if you were already using Delphi, there wasn't much point.
That is completely fair. And I agree it doesn't have to be enjoyable, nor do we all have to specifically seek it out, or even engage in it when offered. But to call it "labor" or "a chore" or (I've even seen this once) an "attack" just seems... excessive, and indicative of an unhealthy mindset.
Port 22: I always change it to something else and bots leave my servers alone. I wonder why they don't try all the ports. I understand it's 16 bits but they should do it only for the addresses that don't answer on port 22.
I constantly run into this problem, I've used my google voice number for everything for years (yeah it's not a great move but very hard to migrate away from) and a frustrating number of services recently have been rejecting it for verification. I end up having to take the sim out of my laptop and put it in my PinePhone. It's such a hassle. This whole "you're not a human unless you have a phone number" thing sucks. Same thing with having a credit score. You're just assumed to participate in these systems even though there's no mandate to do so or protection for you if you don't.
Scandals such as this one are fueling anti-vax movements. I remember learning about physician who found that a drug was causing a massive increase in heart attacks, informed manufacturer, and was ignored. They went on a smear campaign and he was worried he would have issues finding employment as large hospital networks have connections with pharmaceutical companies.

I had an issue with a flouroquinolone antibiotic, many warnings were added by the FDA, but the issue is still underreported and 1 out of 100 doctors would NOT even consider saying those drugs cause issues. Even when it is backed by research. It appears many individuals who suffer from CFS/Fibro/Chronic Pain/Tendonitis/Nerve pain developed it after a treatment. A major problem is that currently there is no test to show flouroquinolones caused the damage and patients may feel normal then get a tendon rupture 8 months later. Look up FQAD if you are curious.

I even spoke to a writer of a book about FQs, his wife was suffering from psychosis after levaquin. This happened in 1986. Many flouroquinolone drugs were taken off the market and replaced by new ones. New research suspects some individuals may have genes causing issues removing those drugs from the body and allowing toxic amounts to accumulate. There is some research looking at possible mitochondrial adducts and dysfunction.

I think Mayo clinic is also doing some studies to figure out what is causing these side effects which can last for years and then disappear completely.
