The attacks on NATO are such a weird thing. US support of NATO isn't a charity operation, there are strategic and economic benefits to the US from NATO participation that greatly exceed the expenses.

If the argument is that the United States shouldn't be a global power, that it should dismantle the US military and be a demure, multilateral player in the international space, sure, attack NATO. However, attacking NATO while saying the US should be a stronger international player is contradictory.

I finished a couple of hyper-boring schools. This is what made life fun:

* Travel a few times a year on a student budget. Crash with friends and look for cheap tickets. I've visited some 25+ countries during my studies. This would make life bearable as there was always something to look out for.

* Try to start a business, even if it fails. Don't over-leverage or borrow money you can't pay back. Just try to bootstrap some kind of a feasible business.

* Pick up a hobby. I've written a novel.

* Hit the gym and try to become more active if you're not already.

Calen.com would be a no go if it were me because it violates rules 1,2,3 and 6.

Hey, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on our solution. It allows you to combine any number of Databases with PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite and SQLServer are supported, here's the full list of supported DataSources: [0]

Our solution comes with a feature called Namespacing [1], which means, every API has its own namespace so there are 0 collisions between the different types and fields. It even goes so far that we also namespace directives so you can have a combined schema of multiple GraphQL APIs and can still use the namespaced directives on fields from that particular upstream.

That catalog is here, in the form of libraries.

What no-code people miss is that by the time a piece of functionality is available as a no-code widget, it's been available as a library for years. No-code solutions will never replace developers. They instead free up developer time, allowing them to create more niche or more technically challenging things.

Wix and other website builders have completely replaced developers who make static HTML pages, but those developers have moved on to making more complex things with React and canvas and WebSockets.

Business requirements grow to match these advances. Twenty years ago, an independent store was ahead of its time if it had a website. Today, a store without online shopping - or at least an online catalog with stock information - is at risk. No-code solutions will never be enough, because competitors will use no-code and also pay developers to code better functionality.
Do I really have to pick one mistake?

- I accepted an ever increasing span of responsibility without commensurate increase in compensation or real authority (promotions).

- I deceived myself into believing that giving up vacations, personal time, education, working through illness, etc was ok because “senior executives” were asking me to do so and I was a “critical team player” in the corporation's success.

- I didn't appreciate until too late that as a technical person in a technical role in a non–technical organization I would be evaluated on KPIs/OKRs/PBCs which were important to the non-technical organization but meaningless to technical peers and useless when trying to move on to future roles.

I've never made eggnog, but lately I'm starting to learn to make other things with eggs, such as mayonnaise and lemon curd.

You can buy pasteurized eggs at the grocery store, and some people claim you can pasteurize eggs at home (though the USDA says otherwise). In that case the eggs and milk would be pasteurized, but the eggnog itself would be uncooked.

> Reminder: VSCode, Visual Studio, IntelliJ, and Notepad++ all individually have a higher usage share among professional programmers

This is an artifact of the structure of the question. They're not asking what you use the most, they're asking what you use at all. Check all that apply.

So then you check Notepad++ even if you're a Linux developer who primarily uses vim or emacs but have Notepad++ on your rarely used Windows VM. You check Visual Studio or VS code if you had to contribute to an existing project which is tied to its build system, even if you avoid it whenever possible.

A quarter of all developers use vim. That's not a small number and it's not for no reason.
Tesla has killed a half dozen of their customers, and it's been surprisingly not much of an issue.
I knew a vim-evangelist developer once who added bindings to his .vimrc file so that, if you pressed an arrow key in insert mode, it would insert the appropriate arrow symbol. I think this was meant to train the user _not_ to use the arrow keys to navigate around, but rather to switch to normal mode and use hjkl or other movement commands.

While I don't approve of this on a practical level, I have to admit that I find the logic of the joke hilarious. You were in insert mode, and you pressed the arrow key, so it ... inserted an arrow.

This is just making it all the more apparent that you didn't really grok vim while you were using it. to get to a paragraph you can use navigation keys, you can click on it with your mouse, you can jump to a line directly by its number, relative or absolute, you can search for a snippet of text inside of it. There's a myriad of ways you can move your cursor so that you can perform actions on a specific block of text, which includes the way you would do so in a normal text editor.

> Now again some thinking needs here is it a code block between curly braces {} or is it a textual paragraph but why is that thinking required when I can actually see it in front of me and select it.

There is almost no overhead to performing this action when you are even modestly proficient in vim, no more than the cognitive load it takes you to decide you must use a mouse to select that portion of text, which also requires more precision since you must accurately place the cursor both at the start and end points.
I think what you wrote here is just straightforwardly not correct, eg. you can absolutely set a variable and multiply arbitrary numbers in addition to working with vertex data. There are also a lot of other ways to store and interact with data, eg. textures (either procedural or painted). Maybe you should have another look.

That is correct, and the structure allows for computers to better understand the meaning of the math concepts being described, which opens the door to different analyses that can be done.
Careful there, Harrison Bergeron.
At least at my school, there was a special geometry class that included proofs ("formal geometry"). Other than the handful of few people who bothered to take that class, there was very little way in the way of proofs in the geometry class that 98% of people took (ok, I tested out of geometry so I don't really know what was in the curriculum).

The difference between "cooking" and "pasteurizing" is only a few degrees: I've seen 138F for pasteurization while 142F starts to cook.

I've never heard of eggnog with literally cooked eggs (chunks of egg and yolk? Yikes.). I would guess they meant "cook" in the loose sense of heat to kill bacteria (rather than cross-linking the proteins to create a solid)!
I think it's not surprising some people are going insane because they don't trust the institutions (justifiably so, after showing double standards and corruption in some cases) and those institution's response is to punish, shame, ostracize the people who question them, and to do so with help of large corporations, namely big tech.

When I searched for the definition of indoctrination I get this:

"The process of teaching a person or group to accept a set of beliefs uncritically."

What I see in your examples does sound like teaching a set of beliefs, but there is nothing that I see where it is done uncritically. For example, there are stereotypes in our society about what genders and races are good at STEM and which are not. If a word problem reverses those stereotypes, do you think that encourages or discourages the reader to think critically about their own biases?
I know this is another information rabbit hole. But, I’d love to know what happens to nutrients with various forms of cooking and combinations with various cooking elements like salt, pepper, chillies, turmeric, cumin etc.

> It feels like most Lego sets on the market have several major/foundational pieces which are essentially useless outside of the model they're built for - some huge chunk of molded plastic.

Do you have an example of a one of those pieces?

I haven't had a Lego set in decades, but I do recall feeling that the ratio of fiddly pieces vs "foundational" pieces getting out of whack towards the end of my time with them. When my kids get old enough I suppose I'm going to have to get them one of those "classic" sets, because I'm not sure they'll be able to get enough by just collecting regular sets.
I agree, as an employee. I mentioned this to my director and he also agreed with me but brought up some logistics I hadn't thought about because it wasn't my job to care.

What do you do about office space? The company is paying a ton of money to give everyone their desks. How do you handle the logistics of having people coming in on random days? Share desks? What if you both come in on the same day? Have unassigned desks? So you're sitting by random people? But the point of coming in is being with your team. But how do you coordinate that? What if half your team chooses monday/tuesday for their office days and the other half chooses something else? None of these are show stoppers, but I also can list a bunch more little "paper-cut" problems with the hybrid approach at scale.

At some point it's just fully-remote with an expensive office. I think those things will naturally work themselves out. But it makes sense why someone who's job it is to care will not know up front to solve it. I think the solution is to not try and solve it ahead of time.

At some point it seems we'll naturally converge on smaller office spaces with more OFFICES and less "open". Some people will always want to come into the office. Those people will be supported. Some people will never want to come into the office. Those people will also be supported. Teams will figure out what works best for them.

For me, I plan to work fully remote the rest of my career. And right now that's a sword I'm willing to die on. Do I miss some things about in-office attendance? Yes! So I plan to go in occasionally. I'll plan that around the schedules of people I want/need to see. Also, sometimes I just need a freaking shared whiteboard. And no, Draw.Io and digital whiteboards somehow just don't work the way I want.

If I may make a suggestion, I would encourage you to add one or two lines to your Readme explaining what the project does in clear, non-technical language for people like me.

What does one do with a "Human Parametric Model Toolbox"? Do I give parameters and get an animated person as output? Does it capture my movements from video and turns them into 3D coordinates? If so, how many cameras are needed?

I think the video answers these questions, but nonetheless it could be a good idea to add it to the text.
I agree Amazon has an uncomfortable amount of power and influence in retail. But they are very far from a monopolist. And "voting them out" doesn't erase laws that those Senators passed.
There have been two major fork-in-road decisions that I have taken and I do not know whether they were ghastly mistakes or the correct decision: (1) Switch from development into technical marketing. (2) Switch from scientific software to general software development. I didn't take either fork and while I like the result, "the grass is always greener".

On a larger scale, the choice of a scientific PhD vs. a CS masters was an earlier/larger decision. Again, I went with the former and remained in the smaller pond. Others might view this as a mistake and it was from a $$ perspective.

Finally, after some time as a project leader, I returned to the bench as it were. I prefer doing rather than talking about doing, but that's also a power and $$ loss if that's what you're into. But I managed, for the most part, to do what I wanted to do. Yeah, I had to move more than we wanted, but that turned out ok.

I have not met a single parent who didn't want to try and give their own children an advantage over the others. It is one thing to support "equity in education", but when parents sense that these activists are trying to dumb-down the curriculum, I expect significant pushback.

Arguably, this is the real use case Pegasus was designed for. A government (Uganda) that does not have a large and mature civil service that would support a G7 level technical domestic intelligence agency went to market for the tools of one (NSO), so they can keep tabs on foreign intelligence agents (state department staff) in their country. I am not a fan of NSO at all, but this case sounds like they're providing sovereignty or statecraft as a service to a government that prefers to buy instead of build their security capability.

When the game is defined as a competition for how to break its rules in the most unexpected ways and with the fewest consequences, Uganda appears to have joined in with aplomb. To me it's the first time an NSO story doesn't seem like a scandal.
> Barring any reasonable objection to this (of which I can think of none),

Then you haven't thought very hard. "At all costs" is way, way, way too strong. We already have viruses that are much more infectious and deadly than SARS-CoV-2, for example Ebola, and we have not taken this "at all costs" attitude towards them. We expend some effort towards fighting and containing them, but only in proportion, since there are so many other things we also need to expend effort towards doing.

> the ball is in science's court to prescribe a course of action

No, it isn't. Choosing a course of action requires attaching value to different possible future states of affairs. Science cannot do that. It requires value judgments, and science cannot make value judgments.

To take your example, science can to some extent tell you what will happen if you impose mandatory vaccination or if you don't--although since much of what needs to be predicted involves second, third, fourth, and higher order effects and includes various aspects of human psychology and free choice that are not at all well understood scientifically, science's ability to make accurate predictions about such outcomes is limited. But science cannot tell you which of those two possible states of affairs is to be preferred, all things considered.
