It's a bit disingenuous to suggest that Intel's price segmentation is on par with intentionally letting people die.

Look at it from another perspective: Say there's a company making gummy bears, and they sell the red gummy bears for 2x the price of the green gummy bears, although they cost the same in production. Would you claim that this company is acting immorally?
For me it was a gamble gone bad.
But based on a deeper shift in global power politics, also regarding the relationship of the USA and Europe.

Great Britain had to decide between a deeper loyalty to the USA or the EU.

I don't think the Brexit was planned to be successful.
It may have been planned to be a tool to recalibrate the relations to the EU and got out of hand, Wizard's Apprentice.

They probably thought they could deepen the relationship with the USA in the coming Cold War with China and still reap the benefits of the EU without the annoying parts.
Roofing Services in North York and Why You Need It
Roofs over your head are quite expensive these days. Not everyone can afford it, you need to recognize its worth better now than too late. And if you do not give them the needed roofing services in North York from time to time, they sure will break only after a few years of their installation.
There is a 'Web Page, Filtered' Save As option in Word, which saves the document in MUCH cleaner HTML than the standard 'Web Page' version. Granted, it's not as good as it could be, but it's definitely way better. It's clean and predicable enough to run it through stuff like PanDoc and get acceptable results.
AWK variables are global; only parameters are local. So there should be just one "foo" in the global scope in your example.
That's kinda ignorant. The truth is, not a single person or scientist knows with 100% certainty that these vaccines are safe.

So for u and mods to shutdown certain opinions, is just pure ignorance and ego. U shouldnt be so happy about that.

Open discussion and different opinions should always be allowed, as long they are civil. If not, it means something is going on that isnt right.
My experience is that most new stuff is deliberately choosing and even exposing UTF-8 these days, counting in code units (which is there equivalent to bytes).

I’d say that not much counts in code points, and in fact that it’s unequivocally bad to do so, posing a fairly significant compatibility and security hazard (it’s a smuggling vector) if handled even slightly incautiously. Python is the only thing I can think of that actually does count in code points: because its strings are not even potentially ill-formed Unicode strings, but sequences of Unicode code points ('\ud83d\ude41' and '\U001f641' are both allowed, but different—though concerning the security hazard, it protects you in most places, by making encoding explicit and having UTF codecs decline to encode surrogates). String representation, both internal and public, is a thing Python 3 royally blundered on, and although they fixed as much as they could somewhere around 3.4, they can’t fix most of it without breaking compatibility.

JavaScript is a fair example of one that mostly counts in UTF-16 code units instead (though strings can be malformed Unicode, containing unmatched pairs). Take a U+1F641 and you get '\ud83d\ude41', and most techniques of looking at the string will look at it by UTF-16 code units—but I’d maintain that it’s incorrect to call it code points, because U+D83D has no distinct identity in the string like it can in Python, and other techniques of looking at the string will prevent you from seeing such surrogates.

It would have been better for Python to have real Unicode strings (that is, exclude the surrogate range) and counted in scalar values instead. Better still to have gone all in on UTF-8 rather than optimising for code point access which costs you a lot of performance in the general case while speeding up something that roughly no one should be doing anyway.

(I firmly believe that UTF-16 is the worst thing to ever happen to Unicode. Surrogates are a menace that were introduced for what hindsight shows extremely clearly were bad reasons, and which I think should have been fairly obviously bad reasons even when they standardised it, though UTF-8 did come about two years too late when you consider development pipelines.)
As a long-time happy user of Postgres, I am happy to answer your questions:

> The popularity and mindshare of Postgres really puzzles me.

Why? Postgres really is "The World's Most Advanced Open Source Relational Database", just like it says on the tin.

> It’s so arcane and full of weird failure modes and gotchas.

Not really. It actually is the best-documented open source database that behaves just like they say in the manual. The Postgres manual is really quite wonderful, can be read back-to-back, like a good book.

> Why can’t we have SQL like this?

This has more to do with SQL itself than with Postgres. SQL as a standard has evolved over so many decades that the latest version of the spec has literally thousands of pages [citation needed, couldn't quickly find a link]. Implementing all of this, is an enormous task, and no relational DB implements all of it.

> I guess we do in the form of CockroachDB or Yugabyte, but Postgres has been so aggressively evangelized try selling someone on those. I know of one or two companies that use them but it’s a tough sell.

Postgres covers ~95% of all use cases of your average software company. Specialized DBs are really only useful in that last ~5% of cases.

> There are tons of overpriced Postgres managed cloud offerings and consultancies, so my guess is that there is a heavy financially motivated astroturf campaign.

Postgres is quite easy to run yourself, completely free of charge. There really isn't any "financially motivated astroturf campaign" that I can discern.

>so now would probably be a good time to ask for a raise

That's not how things work in the "real" world. That might be the case at a tech company, or a startup, but companies like mine have set-in-stone, extremely rigid, pay scales. They don't just go "oh hey, here have more money" and if you go "I want a raise" they go "too bad, that's not how this company works, your pay is determined upon your job, your market, and your merit increases". Everyone makes roughly the same give or take a couple of percent.
I don't think STD's are the primary deterrent, or even all that significant of a deterrent, to people having sex today. If sexual activity is taking a dip, then I would attribute it to:

(1) A progressive moral counterpart to the conservative moral prudishness behind the mid-20th century sexual revolution. It's strange. In some ways, sex positive feminism has prevailed. And yet, sex in general seems more loaded and viewed with suspicion than it was back in the 1990's when I entered my late teens and early 20's.

(2) Internet-driven pornography addiction, social anxiety, and an all-around trend toward increased isolation and atrophied social skills.

TL;DR - Sex is down because too many young women are patriarchy-triggered by sexual advances, and because too many incel dudes have no game and get their needs met through OnlyFans. I don't think it's because people fear the clap.
You need to find a way to do it much faster..

Well, It is more of a design problem than a Django template problem. If you add more and more logic in the template itself instead of dealing with it in the views context or templatetags, you are bound to find yourself in such position that you have very hard to test code.

The tooling is fine and almost always lets you know where you are breaking stuff. Also, comparing react tooling with it is not fair, it is a much modern ecosystem that has pitfalls of its own.

I have been writing Django professionally for 10 years and React + Django together for 4+ years, so I really know what I am talking about here.

You don't have (the option for) ventilation shafts in your window frames[0]? Here in the Netherlands (and north-west EU) many homes have those, they're designed to allow fresh air to circulate without the need for opening a window. Most houses have those except for really old ones (which have 'natural' ventilation, i.e. creeks) or really new ones (which have a central ventilation system).

Thanks, that's a nice response to get! Do you use python for doing these sorts of things quickly?
Haven't used Terraform - ARM templates have a workable (though not elegant) expression system where you can use parameters to resolve stuff - so you indeed have one IaC definition and use your CI/CD to set parameter values and therefore setup whatever is needed for different environments. So your CI/CD knows about the envs and not the IaC code. As it should be I think.
With ARM you have a world of blobs.
> Yes, it's called capitalism and private property, the two most insane human inventions across history.

That's also the system that has produced more wealth and prosperity than any other system in human history. Yes, unchecked capitalism leads to great problems, but there's no such thing as unchecked capitalism anywhere in the Western world today, not even in the US.
They even mention Trainline in the article, which spits me a next-day ticket from for both those trips in seconds. They hand wave it away by saying the are "unknown to consumers".
Go learn a trade my dude. Welding, electrical, masonry, you name it, they all are better pay than what you're getting now. There are plenty of decent blue collar jobs in Indiana. By the time you get into a few years of experience, as a journeyman or what have you, you'll be making double what you are now, depending on OT.

If you like the work and are still at it ~5-8 years from now you can move into management, start a small company and bid and run your own jobs. Sky's the limit.
> The government said the new laws will "make it as easy as refuelling a petrol or diesel car today".

So full charge in a couple of minutes?

Seriously, electric cars are destined to create a new under class - those who don't have a house which has a driveway where they can charge. Apartments will have inadequate charging, terraced and other houses will have to share some sort of public, possibly vandalised service which will be considered the personal property of those who live near it.

Would you, as a researcher, want to make your first attempts on human subjects? Even if someone gives you “complete consent”, it makes sense to ensure that that consent is informed and that those administering are prepared to give them care when things inevitably go wrong. At the very least, leaving all the ethical concerns aside, someone will have to pay for that care.
If college was free and didn’t require any time I’d agree with you, however in the real world this degree will cost him $$$ as well as time and so will need to be weighed against the potential upsides and compared against other career options that don’t require a degree.
10 hours is a great amount of time. (A full weekend of reading without having to think about charging would be ideal.)
Especially if the name spelled backwards is “PRAY” ;).
I have quit a couple of times without anything to land on. The first lesson of the first time (for me, that is, YMMV) was to have a plan what to do after you quit. Even if you financially can afford the break, having nothing to do is quite different from having a full time job. Surprisingly soon after the first time I quit I got a strong feeling I am wasting my time doing nothing - even if I had always thought I have plenty to do.
A subscription doesn't give someone an incentive to update software.

If anything, it does the opposite: if I'll get paid whether I add a feature or not, why spend the money to add the feature when I could just pocket the money?

That's why companies love the subscription model so much: Instead of having to find compelling new features and updates to sell new versions or attract new customers, they can just sit back, put their feet up and the money keeps flowing in.
I can tell you what I did. I had some significant problems with maturity and mental health in college, due to childhood. As a result I flunked out initially, still painful to admit. For several years I did a mix of mom&pop computer consulting, and worked as an official mail fulfillment person/unofficial DBA/IT (the IT person there was very bad at their job and didn't care if I helped). During that time I honed the programming skills I had started as a hobby.

Then I left there, went to Ithaca, and got a job as an entry level programmer paying $32k per year. I set a goal of $150k per year by the time I was 50. I got the job based on the interview, not my credentials. I worked there for 3 years with very modest raises, long and hard weeks, but with a boss that took the time to teach me a lot. Eventually he had to downsize and all the junior staff were let go (including me). At this point my skills had improved, and so had my resume.

I applied to jobs as a software engineer and had three offers when 9/11 hit. I took the one that was a defense consultancy, and started at around $50k per year. This is in a small city, not a hub or even a large city, and with no degree.

Since 9/11 I have worked hard, continually learning and am now finishing up my Bachelors Degree. I made my goal and I currently make around $185k per year in Maryland. I could be making half again as much if I went back into Cyber, or worked for a TLA, but have no interest in either. In three years I will have my degree and be on my way to a masters, and I plan to start my own company at that time (I did a quick foray into starting a company on the side - it's too hard unless you let your day job suffer, and I wasn't going to do that).

The point of this story is that you have the power to succeed. Network like crazy, learn the basics of something, then pick a niche in that something and get really good in it, then build a portfolio. Don't neglect your soft skills, like effective communication, conversations, reading people, marketing yourself.

The unfortunate caveat... I am white, and male. That means that I get to start at the starting line for many job interviews and networking opportunities, even when there are more qualified people of color or women. The unfortunate reality of this country is that minorities and women are discriminated against, sometimes in subtle covert ways, such that they have to start a distance back from that starting line in any race. I've tried to do what I can by specifically mentoring people of color and women where possible (every one of them earned it through hard work), and fighting intolerance and bigotry where it appeared. If you are a person of color, or a woman, there are networking groups specifically to help you mitigate that bias, but you'll probably have to work twice as hard to get the same shot (at least in tech, and at least for now).

I commented before, but that was before checking your profile, web site and social media. Now I guess, I have a more personal recommendation.

Apparently, you've worked for the same company for over a decade doing data entry, you just passed your Lean green belt and you like tech.

It could be useful to look at business process automation, low code tools or robotic process automation. I've seen the combination of these things used for automating data entry processes in many industries, including yours.

There are many low code and RPA tools available (Mendix, UIPath, etc, just Google it) that offer free online training and certifications. These certs are not extremely hard to get if you have some interest in tech. For many companies in this field, hiring someone experienced with data entry, that can also do automation of those tasks is like finding the holy grail. Especially when you also have a lean cert.

It might be useful to look on Google for products like the one I mentioned and then look in your area for vacancies that require knowledge of them. Maybe there's an interesting opportunity in it for you!

> Is the inadequacy of existing mechanisms to protect against STDs your primary impediment for having sex at the moment?

It doesn't need to be a primary impediment. Look at it in an economics sense: fear of and precautions over STDs impose an additional, unnecessary cost on sexual interaction. Like a tax, that imposes a deadweight loss where some sex doesn't happen that otherwise would occur.

Back in the real world, sex is certainly not a commodity, but someone who is particularly interested in sex with non-fully-vetted partners (particularly in casual or near-anonymous settings) would be more strongly affected by the STD deadweight loss.

Until recently Multicore OCaml was focused on deep handlers. The people working on the formalization of effects (either for program proofs or typed effects) were quite keen to have shallow handler integrated however. Thus, the effect module of the OCaml 5 preview contains both (see https://github.com/ocaml-multicore/ocaml-multicore/blob/5.00...) since September. I fear that non-academic literature has not followed this change (on the academic side, see https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3434314 for a program proofs point of view).
I’m waiting for other distros to steal ideas from nix. Guix might be a good candidate but I didn’t manage to get quickly started with it looking the docs (although they looked useful if you wanted to sit down for a couple of hours).
OP is also asking people their experiences, but those experiences are informed by their local set of pros and cons.

What I've encountered:
1. I've never had bigger improvements in my financial outcomes than when I said 'f-it' and pulled the ripcord
2. Doing so dropped my into a stresspit that was grinding me into a red paste, resulting eventually in being Riffed
3. Which let me find a job that, while not great, has good work/life balance and is good for me, at this time, in my walk down my path.

Go into it informed and mindfully and you'll probably be fine, assuming you're in a market that needs you (A french chef in Washington, KS...population 1100, is probably not going to have a sustainable skillset in Washington, KS)

I think about that once in a while, and I still think my most meaningful work was a small tool that I built while in college (almost 10 years ago).

The university website was pretty bad and in some programs the class enrollment was on a "first come-first served basis", so picking classes was a shit show (you could accidentally enroll in two classes at the same time).

So, me and some friends got to work on a tool to help student pick classes without overlaps. It would scrap the university website and show a nice timetable visualization of all classes that you wanted to attend, along with possible times.

I know it's nothing world changing, but it was pretty nice to see the traffic spikes and the positive feedback.

The website is still up to this day (although I think the code has been rewritten), so I guess that it's still useful :)

Interestingly, I also considered doing a recent prototype in C#, but opted to try Django. I didn't hit any roadblocks like this though, overall the experience was pretty nice. The fact that the Django admin site allows you to get instant CRUD functionality from your models with almost zero effort is something I've not seen in other web frameworks (maybe nest.js gets close, but I'd love to see a .NET equivalent to the admin site).

As others have already said, ARM has the economy of scale which POWER doesn't have. And SPARC seems to be dead.

Also, ARM has always (?) been about getting the most out of limited resources, whereas POWER is about performance at any cost. With modern ARM designs, the performance is getting close to, and even exceeding, that of traditional desktop and server CPUs, while still being frugal with resources. POWER is still, well, power-hungry.
