If you're talking about the US, can you please post a cite of these laws? I've recently become interested in historical business law because I've read in passing one theory proposed that the massive US centralization of urban populations and the concomitant cost of living inflation is due in large part to US business domicile and operations laws that were repealed in the 80's-90's. That is, supposedly there were laws that for all practical purposes limited the size and centralization of US companies (hence my interest was piqued when you posted about laws limiting law firm sizes via ownership structuring permissions) by limiting specific aspects of their operations to within a declared domicile state.

I know that happened to banking, but the original poster claimed it was for nearly all US businesses. But I can no longer find that discussion nor the relevant laws, and I'm hoping trawling your cite(s) might lead me to them.

Considering tech workers only. If a substantial number of them moves from employment to self-employment, being someone's boss may become a better deal. If this trend is systemic:

- The value of workers willing to be employed will increase, even more so in specific fields. Whatever the current compensation (dollars, flexibility,...), it's going to get better.
- As this happens, some organizations won't accept to pay a premium for their existing pool of candidates and will expand their horizon to (finally) hire previously ignored populations.
- Freelancing platforms will get even busier, and finding work will get harder and harder—especially now that these new self-employed workers compete with the entire world and not with other business units and colleagues. Many will come back from it.
- When they do, their old job won't be available anymore. Getting a new one will be stressful due to the increased competition from all the disgruntled self-employed coming back and the increased pool of cheaper candidates now preferred by employers.

I've personally made the employed → self-employed move about 3-4 years ago, and back. Although there are clear benefits to being self-employed, there are also clear ones to being a full-time employee (maybe this is more the case in Europe where I'm based, though). So, I can see why people make the move given the current context, but I can also see why a huge chunk will realize being your own boss is not necessarily as good as it sounds.
Google's golden goose is their tracking. Between their ad networks, Android, and Chrome, and their own search engine, they know every single page that most people view. They can then use that data to work out what to display for searches.

The reason that Google Search punishes slow loading sites, as proven by the AMP 'nice comparative boost' controversy, is because most of the time a page loads slowly is because it has multiple ad network trackers on it. Google will do anything to stop a page from doing that. The good news is this stuff is already being called out for anti-trust issues.
Yeah, it’s called regular employment.

True, but I think SQLite has a design goal of being an embedded DB.

As for your argument to store timestamps as text, look at DynamoDB who only allows storing dates as text, and it is designed to handle petabytes of data.

Professionalism in bike theft isn't so much about tools, but about organisation. Professional bike thieves will have a van, load it up with exactly the bikes they already know they can sell, and drive their load to the other side of the country (if your country is small like Netherland, that is), and sell them there. Or maybe sell them in a different country.

I've noticed that sometimes more expensive bikes simply don't get stolen while cheap ones do. I assume that's because of an easier market to sell them. There was a period when my son's children's bikes got stolen all the time, while my far more expensive cargo bike wasn't, despite it being only locked with a ring lock, and no chain. But of course a kid's bike is also much easier to pick up, and it had a very light lock.
> And at times the exactly same people.

I have seen this type of behavior before even though I am not rich or successful. These people act like they never behaved the way they did or simply pretend it never happened, while they continue to do it to others. Its disgusting how people can be so fake.

US vs China would be a war that has never been fought before.
Two nuclear powers trying to kill each other.

I will also be the first time, in a direct war, that the US homeland
is directly in danger. If the US invades or bombs mainland China it
might be game over, the consequences could be enormous.

Like Joshua said:
"The only winning move is not to play".

Since WW2 the US has been at war (oh sorry "military conflict" / "police action") nearly constantly in one form or another.

In all cases they have fought an enemy that was completely inferior.

In Afghanistan, the US used B1 bombers, Drones, Cruise missiles, attack helicopters, an F35, Warthogs and whatever else they used.

Against an enemy that primarily had AK47, some bazookas and various equipment
they stole from the allies.

China is inferior to the US in a military sense, but far less so than the other countries they have fought since WW2.

China may be able to take out an aircraft carrier with supersonic missiles (maybe not), may be able to fight the F35 (less so the F22).

The other major problem for the US is that Taiwan is 200km off mainland China.
China can bring nearly an unlimited supply chain going.

The US is far away and transporting equipment, soldiers, military hardware
etc will be expensive, slow and prone to Chinese submarine attacks.

If China reunites Taiwan by force, it will not take long, and there is
is really nothing the world can do, that is sane, except yell, scream,
sanctions and so on.

Nobody wants to find out what that war would look like.

You mean he ought to spend his limited time picking random comments from unimportant people that noone wants to read and help edit those comments, so that the world becomes more fair and just?

Sounds like a recipe for a successful forum.
That war will only last until China will recover in areas they are behind US, such as in semiconductors. After that China can kill US tech sector by selling at below the cost.

I think that in 10 years we can reach that point.
For containers? No way, Dockerfiles are much simpler than nix configuration.

For workstations? ostree is the future, not nix, IMO. Check out Silverblue. Flatpak takes care of the desktop aspect.

NixOS is an interesting attempt at solving the reproducibility problem, but it hasn't been adopted because it's just a stepping stone towards a better solution. It has far too many quirks to hit mainstream, it's too complex, under documented and it's still based upon package management, which is getting obsolete as the Linux world is moving fast towards containerising everything.

I wouldn't trust a bike mechanic that uses WD-40 as a chain lubricant. The only possible scenario I can think of is if they live in an extremely dry place with minimal chance of rust. I live in the UK, if you use WD-40 as a lubricant your chain will be rusty by the end of the week. Use an oil lube (e.g. I use Finish Line Wet).

Edit: And it's not "going all religious", it's because I do 6,000km on my bike every year. I know through my own mistakes that WD-40 is not a good chain lube.

>US going to war with China (whether it is an economic war, a classic war or a hybrid war ) is US falling into Thucydides Trap. It is one war they aren't going to win. The only winning stance would to not go to war at all.

The problem with national security, is its peacetime leverage is only as effective as your actual willingness to fight a war, even if both sides lose.

Ideally, then both players jointly avoid war.

But in the real world and history, surprising dynamics, contradictory local politics, or miscommunication, can all quickly or slowly lead to wars both countries lose.

The alternative, is consolidation in one country with effectively guaranteed national peace.

Which game do you choose, because in the real world, there is no game where both countries agree to never go to war credibly and solve everything with dice matches, or single handed combat between leaders.

Countries that seem to be reliable allies are almost always on the same side in a leverage battle with another entity. Friends become competitors quickly when there is no shared enemy. And old enemies can also suddenly become fast friends, when circumstances change.
It's not that difficult to fix package versions for any prod deployment, as long as you deploy the projects as R packages. You can fix the versions in the ``DESCRIPTION`` files, which are easy to manage through, e.g., Docker and ``devtools::install_version``. Essentially, not a huge difference from ``requirements.txt`` that we're used to.
The UK splits the legal stuff into an offer letter (”principal statement”) and the fine print (”wider statement”.) The latter is what most people informally call the contract, including the front page of these documents.

Employers must to provide you with the fine print within two months of your start date:

https://www.gov.uk/employment-contracts-and-conditions/writt...

Any incontrovertible evidence of an agreement of the job, verbal or written, counts as a contract. Everything else is just finalizing the terms and conditions, which either party can agree to amend at any later date and which many employers assert they can do unilaterally.
As the Cambridge dictionary says, 'Bathroom' is US English for toilet. Hence the confusion.

I do find the use of euphemisms in the USA such has 'bathroom' (mate, where is the bath?) or 'restroom' (I don't need a rest, I need a shit) a little odd. Here in Blighty, it is perfectly fine to ask the butler in Buckingham Palace where the toilet is. Or the bog for that matter :-)
I don't think they will invade Taiwan soon. The economic and political costs will be huge, regardless of military costs.

I think they intend to pressure Taiwan into surrende, by economic and diplomatic means. That will be a very long term goal. But China is good at executing ambitious long term plans and having long term strategies.
I think this is a smart move. Three days holiday is long enough to do something, especially if you add a weekend. They will feel better and work better. Money would be forgotten sooner.

NixOS includes a cron daemon (Vixie cron), and you can add crontab entries directly either as strings or as files: https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=21.05&show=services...

You can use, e.g.,

services.cron.enable = true;
services.cron.systemCronJobs = [ ''
*/30 * * * * someuser bash /path/to/some/script/idk.sh
'' ];

or if you really don't want to worry about the Nix syntax for a list of strings, and possible escaping issues, you can just create a crontab file in /etc/nixos next to configuration.nix and write

services.cron.cronFiles = [
./crontab
];
These days not having an e-bike is probably one of the easiest deterrents. Next step seems to be to avoid design bikes like Van Moof. And finally, have your bike look used.

Then again, my bike is probably not the first one they'll consider, given that it has a 70cm frame making it all but impossible to ride for anyone under 195cm (being 200cm myself). If you steal a bicycle you have to be able to sell it, and given that a lot of professionally stolen bicycles are exported to countries with lower GDP's and that there aren't that many (if any) countries where tall people are as relatively common as in the Netherlands that match that criterium, I am relatively safe I suppose (as long as I lock it to a barrier or bicycle stand).
I agree. I thought your description was pretty unemotional. I think its OP projecting his own bias onto you. Judging by how rude his initial comment was (and rightfully flagged by others), I would take his comment with a grain of salt.
RPi-400 isn't attractive for me. I always thought they are nice gifts for my nephews, but I wouldn't use them myself.

I'm reading that as a sarcastic response.

In that reading, true, and a major consideration. It could also mean that apparent progress (efficiency gains) are not. And there are multiple inputs or consequences of farming (both modern and ancient) which sharply increase costs:

- Use of nonrenewable fossil fuels whose true costs of creation (the 5-million to 1 ratio of rates of formation to consumption https://www-legacy.dge.carnegiescience.edu/DGE/Dukes/Dukes_C...) are unaccounted.

- Contamination of sinks at rates exceeding their clearing rates (atmospheric CO2, local soil salination, downstream nitrogen and phosphorus polution leading to algael blooms and dead zones, downstream animal wastes with both chemical and bioactive consequences).

- Stripping of soils at rates ~100x that of their formation. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26824479

- Degradation of natural biodiversity and ecosystems at rates exceeding their ability to recover and regenerate.

All that said, the basic notion of technological progress remains: can more be achieved with less. What you're rising is a critically important point, but it remains one of making an accurate assessment of inputs and outputs. Within it however is an identification of an Achilles heel of markets: they don't assess long-term or diffuse costs, and hence systematically and persistently bias toward underaccounting for these costs and their consequences.

Markets also fail to assess long-term and diffuse benefits, which is to say that their inherent focus is on the short term, direct, and manifestly evident.

My direct intent in my initial answer was to define what is meant within the economic orthodoxy by "progress" or "efficiency".

Regular logs (text files) > Detailed Process Logs (DB) > Audits (read-only/tamper-proof)

What's the difference between Regular logs, Detailed Process Logs and Audits?

Are Audits more compliance related, while detailed logs are business only?

It's not clear to me why to have a special detailed process log, if you can you can write important data to Audits, and less important to regular logs, i.e. once can use different log levels for business data vs engineering/debug data.

Can you please give an example?

We invested heavily in nuclear weapons with the intention of never using them. Sometimes it really is about deference. Taiwan isn't arming because they want to fight China.

Historically, a lot of people in the early 20th century thought that war wouldn't (or couldn't) happen because it would be too unimaginably destructive. The first world war was called the war to end all wars, and despite later usage originally it was not meant ironically.

There were no wars like WW1 or WW2 fought before them. It's a horrifying thought but not an implausible one on a long timescale. Eventually a society goes batshit (Nazis, Trumpers, etc) and goes all in on the idea.
I can't offer an answer specific to Haskell, but I know that OCaml does some things to make the compilation fast: interface files, no circular dependencies, no forward declarations, not a lot of optimizations. From what I understand, those tradeoffs come from languages designed by Niklaus Wirth, where efficiency of compilation was important.

In general, I feel like every language that wasn't made to compile fast like Go, OCaml, Pascal and derivatives is going to be called "slow to compile". There's Java and C# that are kind of a middle-ground, since they emit bytecode for a JIT compiler. So my answer to "why Haskell compilation times are so long compared to some other languages?" would be "because compilation times don't take priority over some other points for Haskell and its users".
It sounds insane to me - so basically if you want to buy your own home to be safe against rent inflation, you can still be priced out of your own home. How does that make any sense?
Yup. No more React.js conflict. That was caused by the way how ClojureScript bundle has been built (reagent's copy of React added to the bundle's global/window namespace).

Also, the dependency on Solid.js is unlikely to cause any conflicts even if you used Solid.js yourself in your app given the new package doesn't globally export anything else other than the minimal public API for mounting the player in DOM.
In the Netherlands they won't attempt to sell them here. Too much risk with frame numbers etched in and other ways of marking it. The safest bet is to move them out of the country on the day they steal them; way out to Eastern Europe.

> GDP adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP) is the proper way to compare economies.

Except that it really isn't. PPP is a way to forecast long term exchange rate convergence and not make "short run" comparisons. See Taylor, A. M., & Taylor, M. P. (2004). The purchasing power parity debate. Journal of Economic Perspectives, 18(4), 135-158.

Going to my original point, Russian GDP from manufacturing in 2019 was $219.22 billion. Italy's GDP from manufacturing in 2019 was $298.4 billion. Italy does not have a domestic nuclear weapons program. Russia does. I don't hear about the Italian military in the news. Russia's is mentioned almost every day.
