Individual soldiers can, and US is very protective about its war criminals (see Iran Air 655).

Almost every country cares about civilians more the US: by not waging wars.
That is an error in the other direction: focusing only on a single good aspect of a piece of tech. PHP wasn't up against J2EE in that first wave, it displaced perl and cgi-bin. And the only thing it had going for it was easier deployment. Arguably first-class templating too, but I don't think that was the killer feature, and really perl wasn't that far behind. Perl had better OS support, a massive ecosystem that PHP didn't catch up with for about 15 years, and a community that actually cared about code quality. And it was renowned as a "getting stuff done" high-productivity language.

The easier deployment story for PHP3 meant you saw massive expansion at the bottom of the market as cheap webhosts were able to offer very locked-down accounts for peanuts, which meant a generation of developers came along whose only experience was with PHP. They didn't have anything to compare to and nobody was really offering them anything else at anything like the same scale. The virtualisation revolution hadn't happened yet, so these were all shared accounts on physical boxes, and they couldn't install their own stuff either.

It's just not reasonable to say PHP was "better" except in a very limited, and largely accidental sense. It just so happened that that one advantage was enough to catapult it into first place.

Not really. VLAN provides segmentation, but it does not provide any mechanisms to limit access to other vlans in your network - which are most likely routed by your router. You will need to add some L3 filtering (acls/iptables/whatever) to isolate segments.
Because they're extremely effective in treating extreme pain. In some cases, this is necessary because pain limits recovery. Use of them needs to be managed extremely well though and when that doesn't happen it's easy to get addicted.

A lot of those things happens because nobody especially not the junior accountants and paralegals doing the compliance audit understand security making a lot of non tech savy companies buy into expensive tools(triggering the sunk cost fallacy) based on what the salesdrones told the CEO/CIO/CSO over lunch and the shadier the product the better the sales team tend to be at hoodwinking customers using scare tactics into adopting their special spyware source just in case.

I would also personally be pushing back using every venue open to me on this kind of behaviour but's it is often more a sign of incompetence then malice.
According to multiple sources, Amazon has a policy to have 6% UnRegrettedAtiration. which in normal speak is 6% of employees to be fired per year. and managers are expected to fullfil this quota, and backfil it if they failed to meet it previously.

Here is a recent news mentioning it: https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2021/jun/27/amazons-unre...

IDK your situation but have heard the same excuses for a long time. You have the ability to make changes before You get tied down with responsibilities like kids and debt, make the choice to change your lifestyle now before that choice is made for You.
AR != VR

AR has a very clear and useful future. Metaverse is a gimmick to get people to work and live in a world where facebook, err Meta, can nickel and dime everything.

Let’s be clear here, the metaverse is useful for separating idiots from their money (see how much people are spending on fake land atm)
The idea that opioids are addictive is a myth. People taking them are treating “pain” that isn’t diagnosed in the medical system. For example, joblessness. It’s an easy scapegoat for politicians to let them avoid dealing with harder structural problems.

Yes. Do we have a full list of requirements for voting systems?

TYPOScript, a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for customizing the TYPO3 Content Management System. Typoscript is not a turing-complete language.

For starters, TYPOscript has very odd semantics for terms like "Object", "datatype", "register", and so on. You can have lines of code like "page = ", or "page < ".

Typoscipt was designed in the late 1990s, then by an autodidact or very young CS student(s). I don't know exactly, and I don't want to blame anyone. (nothing personal).

However, as a consequence, as a TYPO3 user I have countless files in my work-related directories that have a ".ts" filename extension - now used by TypeScript a well designed language for which rich toolsets exist.

So when I open a TYPOscript .ts file, practically every word on every line has these red squiggly lines from the linter ... very scary.

TYPOscript has its strengths, though.

Right, that’s the loss of life _with_ lockdowns, mass vaccinations, etc. we’ve successfully managed to limit the damage to much, much, much lower levels than it would have been otherwise. It’s been a huge success, compared to an unrestricted or minimally constrained propagation of the virus.

I don’t know much about SLAs, but isn’t it simply business risk?

If they Can’t meet their SLA and are only up 99.99% then they might give a 50% discount to the customer. It could be a risk they dare to take since they might have figured out in practice that AWS is up far more often and that the chance of not meeting their own SLA is one in twenty years. So on average, it would mean they will have 97.5% of their revenue, since in one year (on average) they wouldn’t meet their SLA and give a 50% discount (contributing 2.5% instead of 5% over a 20 year total). I assumed no company growth, for the sake of my example.

Just brainstorming
It really isn't "just an idiom" -- DNA holds information even in the very most rigorous definition of information as defined by information theory by Claude Shannon and others. Computing the entropy of sequences is actually a useful way to predict if they are likely to have a function.
Well, that really depends on what kind of site you visit. I'm sometimes shocked seeing what comments my compatriots write under some articles. People tend to group around certain topics. So in order to understand what "Russians in general" think I'd have to survey many of them. For now, I rely on the opinion of my Russian friends.

Basically, nobody in their right minds want a war. In order to create favorable conditions for war, you need to create quite a few provocations, a lot of tensions, some murders, especially on children. At some point, people on the other side will get very emotional and demand a revenge. At that point you reached your aim: you changed the collective mind of the population and they crave for war now, they want "justice." This happened to a small degree in the USA after 9/11 - Bush did have some internal support although it was by no means unequivocal. I saw the same in the initial stages of the conflict in the former Yugoslavia: at some point people really hated each other.

But it is very, very far from it in Ukraine. There are many, many Russians in Ukraine, and many Ukrainians in Russia. In many parts of the country they speak Russians (I mean almost exclusively). Putin is trying some provocations and is also getting soldiers from distant areas of Russia so that they have less problems killing Ukrainians, but the spirit of "let's invade Ukraine" is just not there among Russians.
> The Data Processing Addendum isn't a loophole to collect data that they don't have a legal basis to collect.

No. But it looks like a loophole to export whatever they have a legal basis to collect, to process it and share it in ways that GDPR was designed to prevent. In other words, to do what would be a crime in EU.
Well I hate to burst your bubble but I don’t use k8s, and I can point to a very large quantity of engineers that don’t either. I also work for a very large company, and k8s is rarely used on other teams.

Just thinking out loud: why in that case we couldn't have automatic revert of the push?
It would look like GPT-3, you enter text and the system translates that to code machines can understand.

A programming language will never be a solution for people who can't program, break down problems to smaller chunks and be able to generalize and create abstractions.

Think about someone who can't drive. To them no matter how good a car is, a car alone will never be the solution to move around (ignore self driving cars for now since you are still required a driving license).

For these people one solution might be a taxi driver who can translate commands to actions to move the car to the destination.
While a different medium, the Dark Souls series of video games does a great job of conveying this.

The vibe is more of, “things can seem hard and unfair, but by adapting and persevering, you can overcome.”

I think it is an excellent life lesson and one I find highly resonant.
Most people become rigid in thinking and lose elasticity in the problem, solution, and containing domains — especially when hardened onto specific workflows and process. We are all guilty of it.

Consulting addresses this at the org level — they are the "smart dumb group" that will unlock lateral and z thinking.

On a personal level, do not think in failures or successes. Think in learning and level gains. "Success" as per your definition is a side-effect of reaching higher and higher levels of ability. Learning ("failure") is a major path.
There’s a lot of pitfalls measuring inflation in general especially when you add tech to the mix.

Technology is known to be deflationary; getting faster and cheaper over time.

This is how some fast food prices have been mostly staying the same; though even here you sometimes see shrinkflation.

It’s unfortunate that there’s so much politics around the inflation numbers, things that are deflationary are deliberately used to reduce the inflation numbers.

If something is too inflationary it either stops being measured or new ways of measuring are introduced that reduces the numbers.
I agree. I had to do the PayPal thing with my Visible phone service because I couldn't delete an old card. Luckily PayPal doesn't require me to have anything linked just to have an account.

Yes! I bucket people into paddling the right direction, sitting in the boat, and paddling the wrong way. With enough momentum, you can tolerate the people that are sitting in the boat. Sometimes they have good reasons and it's temporary. The people always actively working against progress need to be overboard. Smaller teams may need all paddlers. I'd like to think I'm always paddling and usually the right direction.
Given the infamous bathtub curve and my personal desire to fix and maintain my tools, getting a cheaper one might be proper annoying. Saying that off-shore T15 soldering irons were a top notch quality often times.

However, for certain types of tools/devices - e.g. multimeter, SMPS (even wall charges) I'd not touch totally no brand. An example of middle ground multimeters: brymen - they are more expensive than UNI-T, better than Fluke price/feature wise and very solidly built. SMPS - meanwell: proper capacitors, creep distance, real copper transformers. Hand tools - (screwdrivers, spanners) - Wera.

It gets harder with heavier duty tools that have to do the metal (like really) - that leaves prosumer+ stuff only - Makita, DeWalt - or straight to the pro: Hilti, Fein.
I also lifted an eyebrow at this. It‘s just „trunk based development with feature branches and prs“.

I've explained again and again in other comments. As did the parent comment of this whole thread. It's really not that hard to understand, but there's nothing I can do if you don't want to understand.

> Well its TOR - its pretty clear proposition even to mainstream users it will be instantly obvious - the privacy is the feature.

Really? Have you ever met a non-technical user who said they wanted to use Tor for anything?

Regardless, that's entirely besides the point. So what if a mainstream user doesn't understand why version control would be useful for their Excel sheets? The rest of us carry on using version control just fine.
The irony is that true competence demands the ability to inhabit beginners mind when necessary in order to continually hone one’s skills.
If you already know python and JS I think you probably won't have too much trouble with Nim, but why not add something new like memory management to learn about? Rust is complicated, but it has training wheels, and its wasm support would integrate with your JS knowledge. Alternatively modern C is still used everywhere and will teach you a lot about hardware.

There's a load of nonsense in the comments here today.

* Drata is a vendor that helps a company navigate your SOC2 compliance process, by organizing all the controls and helping you gather evidence that you have done so. For instance, they'll connect with Github and make sure everyone with access to your repos is a company employee. If you don't use Drata you have to gather this evidence yourself, repeatedly over months, and it's a pain.

* The Drata agent is a pretty innocuous thing. It checks you have done things like turn on disk encryption, have updates enabled, and that the screen locks if you walk away. It does NOT monitor employee's activities. These kind of security checks are incredibly common and are required for certifications like ISO27001 and SOC2. SOC2 is not really optional for large enough b2b SaaS.

* The poster says "Their business model (in my case) seems to be to take money from companies to spy on their employees/contractors, and then they sell the employees/contractors private information to "targeted advertising".

Do you have any evidence for this?? I've just been involved in selecting Drata as a vendor for SOC2 compliance planning for our company. If this is true it's a huge deal and totally against my understanding of their business model. It honestly sounds like bullshit to me! But if you have evidence that they do this, please let us know.

* As a freelancer, whether you are required to install security monitoring software is definitely an open question. If you're delivering work separately and not connected to company systems, then ok. If you're basically just acting like any other employee, and connected to the company systems, then you will probably have to do this. Because otherwise they would fail SOC2 and managing your legal status as "Freelancer" vs "Employee" (for tax reasons??) is not worth not being certified.
Hey that’s neat! I remember writing an email to Ken Silverman back around 1999, maybe 10 years old, and asking for advice on how to get in to programming. He actually responded and gave me a few books to check out.
Apple is making some plays into Health. You need to be a soft-hardware company in order to do that, or a medtech company.

Inequality: IMO, there needs to be a VAT tax (e.g. 1%) that directly goes into the bank accounts of all people. Sort of like a basic income, except that it isn’t guaranteed that it meets any standard of living.

I do the same. It seems nowadays that every app must throw a notification whenever the sun changes position. I'm a UNIX guy: if the task is successful the program shall be silent.
I had a similar reaction about the way the article was written. I was confused about the benefits of this over a much simpler rating system, until they started talking about tying credits to external resources of some kind. Holding credits over seems to have similar issues.

Sorry that happened to your aunt.

Doctors aren’t reimbursed for prescribing medications directly (except chemotherapy infusions). Was the physician selling the medication directly? That’s not commonplace.

Clinicians may financially benefit from not refusing their patients requests and thus losing the patient to another doctor that will acquiesce. But that’s a tricky topic to untangle.
Hey! The second one is an earlier, clunkier version of this very same app :)

Don't take my word for it, but personally I like how "un-designed" Batteries is.. it feels like it's part of macOS. iStat is great but it invades by Mac's UI.
You would have been given micrograms of Fentanyl. Certainly not a milligram, and certainly not 2mg, which will probably kill you. For comparison, you require more than 10 times as much Heroin to do that.

This illustrates it pretty well; a lethal dose of Heroin (left) and Fentanyl (right): https://www.statnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Heroin-F...

This is why it's been in the news and why you've read about how strong and dangerous it is. Usage in a medical setting is much safer because they have a known purity and precise dispensing and dosage schemes; something you won't find and can't achieve on the street.
> I doubt that all those who got prescribed opioids and got addicted didn't have an underlying solvable problem.

The US health care system is set up to cause exactly these kinds of issues. If you're in pain because of a bad hip, if you're uninsured, it may be much cheaper to just buy pain killers in stead of getting surgery. Once you get used to the pills, the pain is even worse if you stop taking them and might get withdrawals.

Opioids are indispensable in cancer treatment and after many surgeries. In some cases they can be used to combat chronic pain or leading up to surgery. But you're right, they shouldn't be a replacement.

If the US wants to fix this epidemic, just decreasing sales of opioids won't be enough, they'll have to provide the alternative. If people can't get affordable health care, they'll get affordable pain killers.
Not OP but will definitely recommend Nim if you are intimidated by C++. Nim first compiles to C and then that C code is compiled to binary. If you know python already, you will feel right at home and you get better performance and a great type system and metaprogramming. But the eco-system is definitely not as mature as Python or JS.

The documentation is good enough that I don't need to google most of the stuff while writing Nim, having types definitely help with that.
I think Google reviews are better to be honest.
> Given that you can deploy smart contracts as binaries (without source) and you can design the contracts to be upgradeable if needed

You can do all that, but then who but the most gullible will use your smart contracts?
Opioids are also prescribed for short term healing from major surgery, of which there is no root cause beyond having major surgery or other painful injury.
