I quit my former employer earlier this year (largely due to management). They tried retaining me, however I simply think the company was a poor fit for the remainder of my career. I had worked there almost 10 years out of college.

Afterwards, I spent a month seeing members of my family. Unfortunately, while I was away on my travels, my car happened to be damaged. Had to spend several days fixing that amongst other things. Then I just spent about another month of just relaxing, before even looking for a new job.

From there I took about 3 months of 8 hour days looking for, applying and interviewing for jobs in two metros I wanted to live in. I think I had applied to ~80 jobs, had ~20 interviews, and received 3 job offers. Accepted an offer in late June, approximately 5 months after leaving my last employer.

Was it worth it? Yes in some aspects. I now make 25% more, have an easier work-life balance, and was able to resolve some things I was putting off for years. The process wasn't easy though, and even though I make more now, it'll take ~18 months for me to recoup the money I missed from being unemployed for 5 months. I also learned a lot I otherwise wouldn't have. Only downside I'd say, is that I feel this may just be a temporary stepping stone in my career...
Exactly, in Java i couldn't even inline my functions, and had zero control over the underlying memory layout.
I think reducing complex economic problems to snappy 1 word reduction is generally not a very good idea. It just leads politicization of the issue making almost all discussion of the topic impossible.

Terms such a 'Neo-liberalism' is a become meaningless term that has been project into every possible direction by ever possible social scientist and amateur and have become so broad that it basically means 'it exists in the world currently'. The same fate would happen to uses like 'Neo-feudalism'.

At some point one just has to spell out what the actual problem is.

> Asking four people here would yield five different answers. And they'd all be somewhat correct and correlated!

I think we can argue about some of the drivers, but the fundamental reason is a simple supply and demand. One can argue why there is so much demand, or not enough supply.

I think we have a pretty clear understanding why in most western cities supply failing to grow as fast as demand.
I'll keep this short and sweet, because I could complain about Flatpaks for hours:

If you distribute your software via Flatpak, you can forget about me ever using it. Every computer I own has Flatpak disabled, and I will use system repos until the day I die. Plan accordingly!
Get or Remove HTML element(s) by Perl script
I feel like this is a parable for A/B testing without considering the consequences.

For McDonald's, straws and stirrers are provided gratis, so you aren't succeeding if you raise demand for the stirrer. If a stirrer sold you more coffee, then it was a success. Just like the thicker straw sold more shakes (some of their competitors never figured that out, and one wonders if they ever actually talked to a customer or just sat in smoky meeting rooms bullshitting all day).

However coffee being a stimulant, there is probably some overlap between the two demographics. It'd be hard to track if a lot of stirrers left with a coffee drinker but were unused for coffee. So perhaps in fact they did sell extra coffee to cocaine users and just patted themselves on the back for the increased revenue.
So they are not as opaque

Ok, say a wild CVE appears and it says libblip versions 1.3 through 2.0.4 have a severity-10 RCE vulnerability and should be patched ASAP. If the container images and flatpaks are not opaque, I presume you have a simple command that lists all vulnerable library versions that are present on all the machines you administer? And, subsequently, that you have an easy procedure to patch them all?

> What is wrong with Oracle? I have worked here for almost 20 years and love it.

I know a lot of people that work at Oracle, and by all accounts they enjoy the environment and have quality peers. I also have been involved in dealing with renegotiating an Oracle contract at a customer of Oracle's. After that experience not only will I never work for Oracle, I will never again do business with Oracle as long as I live. No other company I've ever engaged with has brought lawyers to a sales conversation, but Oracle loves their lawyers.
> First, many sites do not need a mobile app — people who sell apps like to present that as a requirement

Yes, Testify! Also, I'd like to mention, so many of these upsold apps end up being a wrapper around the normal web view. I've seen this being advertised/proposed as a plus, as well "No need for your customers to learn a new interface, we specifically engineer your app experience to be just like the web experience". It's interesting to see heads nodding in reply to this.
Its not that bad. I've had daily commutes that were 70% highway at 40-60, and that's much closer to the EPA "highway" cycle than it should be.

The highway cycle is actually not all high speed driving.
For defining bitmasks and the like in (embedded) C I'm mostly using enums instead of preprocessor macros. Looks better in syntax highlighting and works better in autocompletion.
The letter 'blanks' which hit the ribbon in a typewriter are imperfect, as all physical objects, so having a sample and a registered owner can be used tell that this document was written on this particular typewriter because e.g. all their letters 'F' have a tiny scratch in just the right place.

It's similar to e.g. identifying specific guns by the markings left by imperfections of the barrel, you'd also take sample shots which can then be matched to the specific gun.

Main issue in the EU is still compensation. They are pretty stingy with equity and salary.

And risk wise, yes, US tends to swing for the fences more often which produces unicorns. EU tends to go more traditional and safe routes (aka boring).
Weird metaphor: while semiconductors are only 0.5% of ggdp, they have become a bottleneck for many other products. Are semiconductors behaving as some sort of... transistor for the flow of money in the economy?

You are making it backward. Linux distribution is a distribution, not a vendor. If you will write a higher level SDK, and then will write an application using the SDK, and then this application will be requested by users, then your application and your SDK will be included into the distribution. UNIX has CDE[0], but nobody uses it, so no distribution includes CDE by default.

It's a rhetorical question, I don't actually care what the number is because it's diminishingly small. Farmers breed their animals, they're not filling the ranks of their livestock by going out and rescuing wild animals. I'm not talking about livestock that wander off the farm.

And you're not silly. I said the argument is silly. We all can make silly arguments from time to time when we don't really think a line of reasoning through or consider what the other person is saying. It wasn't my intention to attack your intelligence or integrity, sorry to have created this unpleasant interaction.

We obviously disagree on how rewarding the "gift of life" is. I know I wouldn't want to be a farm animal, and would prefer not to exist in the first place rather than live their life. With all due respect, I think it's you who doesn't have a clear mental model of farming at scale. You paint farming like it's your uncle's happy farm down the road. That's not how most people are getting their food. That doesn't scale to 70 billion land animals per year.

> Well I won't beat about the bush as you do. I think what you propose is demented. You're suggesting that, to avoid killing animals we should genocide them instead.

They are already being "genocided" though. That's what happens when they slow down their milk or egg production, or reach slaughter weight. I'm suggesting we stop breeding them just to be killed. This results in less killing.

This is all good and true, but it's looking at the problem from the Linux distribution's perspective. The user wants a working application. Something like AppImage allows a small team to distribute a working package for every distro. Now imagine that team of 5, working on their app, packaging it for ubuntu, fedora, arch, rhel, ... It's just not possible.

What would solve this issue? A common package manager and central repository, across all Linux distributions. Then the small team only needs to package and ship to one repository, in 1 format.

Some reasons you might want to use hypermedia over an RPC-like API:

- The simplicity of the model (e.g. The "active search" pattern can be implemented with a few hypermedia attributes in htmx: https://htmx.org/examples/active-search/)

- The flexibility of the uniform interface[1] (e.g. versioning your API is much less of a concern)

- The ease of deep linking
Not quite that bad, but the hash algo for ... function lookup? (the exact usage escapes me) in PHP was "strlen". Yup, the length of the function name was the hash value.
Keystone's construction was shut down. It was going to be operational and now it's not due to an executive order that biden signed day 1 in office. That's shutting down a pipeline.

Line 5 is very much still possible to be shut down due to the democratic party's goal of creating a false energy shortage. Whitmer keeps complaining about it and I'm sure that harris and pelosi will tell biden to cancel it and he'll just go "okay".

It’s not even that:

“ Of the total 32 million barrels will be an exchange over the next several months, while 18 million barrels will be an acceleration of a previously authorized sale “

I could well imagine those lines in a dystopian 80s scifi novel right next to Neil Postman’s “Amusing Ourselves to Death” on the shelf.
I regard, `Callable[Blah..., ...., ..., [Blah, Blah....]]` essentially a hostile gesture to the data profession.

Guido wanted to create a procedural imperative language that used runtime tricks to look simple. What he actually created was a highly (ad-hoc) polymorphic language with extraordinary power.

This is the inverse story to javascript: there brendan wanted to hide the lisp. Here, guido accidentally created one.

Since realising this guido has gone about doing everything to hobble efforts to realise the underlying efficacy of the python model -- and shove it back into the procedural box he had intended it to be in.

Given python3, this appears to be a remarkable contradiction. Python2 was what guido wanted, when python3 came along and "software engineers" won over "educators", playing the "lets keep it dumb and procedural" game was conclusively dead.

I have a lot of respect for Guido's vision, but this approach to typing has frustrated me. It feels like he's fighting a proxy-war on procedural-python, using the type system to force the rest of us to concede.
Oh, it is less eco-friendly. Just in the current political situation the US is a lot closer to Germany than Russia.

I think the current conflict between Russia and the US is pretty stupid and a remnant of the cold war that has been rekindled for some reason. 15 years ago Germany had a vastly better relation to Russia and the situation was far more stable and peaceful. Return of aggression were almost unthinkable. All this has been destroyed by diplomacy of the last decade. I don't really care if it was Putin that needed to deflect from domestic issues or NATO that dabbled to deeply in Ukraine that ultimately lead us in this situation. Fact is that the situation vastly deteriorated.

But all that should be disregarded for energy policy. To get off coal, gas is the vastly superior energy source. Still a fossil fuel, but far less dangerous. Nuclear power cannot be brought up fast enough and there are political problems too.
A suggestion for folks writing articles like this - sell me the advanced but typical example. I want to see an image input which is then previewed and then uploaded asynchronously with a loading bar and error states.
>actually like java

I honestly can't fathom how that works, I thought aversion to verbosity is near-universal among programmers, so how can somebody _like_ (not just use or be okay with) a language that requires you to state the maddeningly obvious and do a mountain of paperwork all the time, so many times and for the simplest most trivial tasks. It's the modern day COBOL and worse.

When I first saw Java coming from C++ and Python object models (among others, but those two I'm most familiar with), I felt the same rage upon seeing that the accessibility modifier must be put before every field or method as people feel when they have to jump through stupid bureaucratic hoops. C++ just requires you to put "['public'|'protected'|'private'] :" then every field or method coming after that colon will be of the accessibility before it, which is the commonsense thing to do because usually all publics are together and all privates are together. It's something so very trivial and so utterly lowbar that C++ managed to do it right on the first try, I don't know what frame of mind was playing out in the mind of the first person who thought that this common thing needs to be multiplied out and stated for every field and every method it annotates.

This was the archtypical model of my interaction with Java ever since, everytime I hear the name I instantly think of the stupid and meaningless convoluted procedures typical of corrupt governments and bloated administration systems. "veryLongTypeName veryLongObjectName = new veryLongTypeName" everywhere as far as the eye can see, obscuring the dance of algorithms and datastructures expressing the core logic in favor of trivialities about allocations and declarations, then designers introduce the useless syntax sugar "var" and gloat about how that enhances readability in some cases, as if the language's syntax shouldn't have been designed like so and trimmed much much more than that from the very beginning. "Everything is a class" because we want to be so cool like our idol objective-C's idol smalltalk, so you have to do stupid things like naming a class "fooUtils" to signal it's just a namespace of static methods, but actually forget that not everything is a class and generics can't be used with primitves because reasons, nevermind the extremly obvious and painfully trivial solution of having the compiler generate a generic_primitiveType class for every generic it encounters, even if it's still a quick-and-dirty hack and only works with code with source available it would be infinitely better and more clean than the hack job they did with autoboxing and unboxing.

Etc, etc, the language is so comically badly-designed it's baffling, I don't think they could have done a worse job if they tried.
Is it really surprising that we're conservative? Most of what comes out of big tech right now is focused on monetisation and control and when it comes to FOSS a lot of companies are trying to get their IP on the map.

For example Ubuntu is trying very hard to push snaps. In contrast to flatpaks only they can run the store for it so there's clearly a motivation of vendor lock-in.

This kind of thing makes me suspicious and more critical of new tech. I'd first want to see if it offers me any value. In this case I don't see the big benefit even though flatpak doesn't seem to carry the lock-in that snap does. But I like the optimisation of dynamic libraries and the way I can update openssl once and have all the apps patched that use it.

Systemd is a different story. It's open enough but a bit too heavy and complex for my liking. It's not bad though and I use it on some of my boxes. Alpine is working on an alternative based on s6 and I'll probably end up using that when it matures.

Anyway I didn't choose Linux/BSD because I cared about having the same as everyone else :) Being able to deviate from the beaten track is one of the benefits of these. I currently use FreeBSD because it has the least corporate meddling right now.
From that Wikipedia article I take that Ukraine was not paying the bills and such. What do you expect a supplier to do?

Hashish does not actually have to be "refined" at all. There's zero chemical process involved. You're just taking the resin glands off the surface of the plant. Refining cocaine is starkly different from this, of course.
Any tricks to make it scroll? I'm stuck on the page of artists.
Well sure, if you have reason to believe it spoiled (you can't tell by looking at it). I'm just saying, botulism isn't as much of a threat as some people make it out to be. If the article was to mention that it is easily destroyed by cooking, then readers could take the extra step of cooking it before eating to put their minds at ease.

Fly.io and Vercel don't even do the same thing. We're different, not more or less capable.
If we do build 'space colonies' I'm not sure that they'll be that different. The main reason behind these designs is to use centrifuge force to create artificial gravity. So until and unless we do invent some real Sci-Fi artificial gravity this remains our best approach and so are these spinning designs.

I think we'll actually see more of similar designs, even if much smaller, e.g. in spacecrafts for human journeys beyond the Moon and, indeed, space stations.

Interestingly, many very recent Sci-Fi movies involving realistic-ish human space travel feature spacecrafts with spinning toroidal living quarters.

Not inside meat, no. I don't think it's a problem for run of the mill hot-smoking or BBQ. For cold-smoked stuff I don't dare eat it raw yet but use the meat in stews. Cold smoked pork ribs add a 3rd dimension to thick soups like pasta fagioli or split pea soup, while sausages are great fried. I don't know how to safely attempt a prosciutto or lox though :-)
If you forget what all those system directories are for (/bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, etc), another useful command is "man hier". It's a reference page for the filesystem.

> which certain color laser printers and copiers

Inkjet printers are far more likely to not let you print without color ink, because they need to add the color inks to produce a darker black. Laser printers are far more likely to let you print without color toner (and as such, I've never worked with a laser printer that requires non-empty color toner cartridges), because they don't need to add additional colors for black.

He's talking about old mechanical style typewriters. Due to mechanical tolerances of the time, the letter shape and the alignment of the type bar would be slightly imperfect, and unique to that typewriter, acting as a fingerprint.

It's the reason why ransom notes from old movies are made of letters cut out from different magazines and newspapers. No handwriting, and no typewriter.

It's always agrressive against the users. The users are the poor saps that have to accept whatever the devs have droped on them. The users have no say other than suggest it doesn't work, doesn't promote efficient workflows, whatever. It's then up to the devs to fix, but they feel like they've delivered according to specs so tough. The User will Accept Whatever from the all powerful dev team. How about User Acceptability Testing. At least it then makes it sound like the devs are going to give a damn about the users feedback.

I think, beating Aladdin (1993) on PC did help a lot: it was a more challenging game that required getting used to precise controlling the character. Prince of Persia has rather slow animations, and thus you don't even need a quick reflexes to beat it, just learn the levels and know where you need to move in a certain way.
Wow! Are there manuals like that available publicly for SpaceX or ULA vehicles?
Yeah? How so? Weird in what way?
That is why it's a bold statement. The landscape is still rich with competitors and seeing new entries. Affirm and Afterpay are public. Klarna is private and the beneficiary of a very frothy VC market. Their rounds are led by Softbank which many investors think is leading a charge in overvaluing unicorns.

We'll see how things shake out. Calling them 'the winner' of the market is just odd.
Your dichotomy is incorrect as well.

We can't "pay off the debt" in the short term without significant and long lasting instability. So the better analogy might be "do we go bankrupt now" or "do we go bankrupt later," and given everything else that's going on in the world today, "later" is definitely preferable.
Back when I used to work in hospitality, we'd defrost fish (both vac sealed and loose) in cold running water.

Defrosting vac sealed fish in cold water over 20 minutes and immediately cooking it carries roughly zero risk of botulism, for 2 reasons:

1. The optimal growth temperature for C. botulinum is between 20-45 C [1], exponentially dropping off outside that range. That's why improperly canned food is risky, as it's usually stored in that range for weeks or months.

2. The bacteria is slow growing and doesn't cause illness itself, it also can't grow in the acidic conditions of the adult human gut. Rather, it's the excreted toxin that's dangerous, which takes several days to form [2].
