Not only is this dangerously wrong but it’s an incredibly convenient perspective to enable someone to not deal with problems. Head in the sand.

Magic man in the sky will hotfix our fuck ups. And if millions die, that was meant to be.

In my opinion, this cripples an engineer’s thinking.
OP argued that US is so great, since it allows immigrants to "make it" by collecting trash. It is exactly this type of smugness, false positivism and immigrant exploitation I hate.

People should not be ashamed for not owning a house. But they should also know that chance to buy a house for unqualified worker in NY is 0.001%. If there is a realistic view of situation in US, they may stay at their home country.
I’m at least a bit amused that you have a whole comment about how nice rails is without mentioning ruby ;-)
Thanks for your take on this!

Your comment triggered warm memories of playing with my grandfather’s Soviet oscilloscope as a kid. It had knobs so clicky that you’d feel them your knuckles! :)
> Glass bottles (beer, juice, milk and yoghurt) are "Mehrweg" ("multi-use")

There is also a special case of a Mehrweg 1L plastic bottle, used mostly by Coca Cola. It is also sterilised before reuse.

Ooops, I didn't know that. Thank you.
There’s been legal theory movement over the past 15 years or so to revisit this shift. All you’re seeing now is some of the peaks of an undersea mountain range. This movement has been gaining in different agencies for years. I think it’s a secular shift rather than something administration-specific.

Of course the rentiers can still squash things, and will. But I think the tide is against them.

Matt Stoller has done great work both documenting this and contributing.
Given the impact of these symptoms on your life, you have a problem that's likely beyond the ability of the well-intentioned people on the internet to fully help.

Refusing to seek psychotherapy for this situation is like refusing to fix a hole in your tailpipe because you don't trust mechanics. Eventually, it'll rust through and fall off, and you won't have a choice but to fix it... for more money and time.

That is to say, your option is to seek professional help now, while this is a solvable problem, or to wait until things get worse and you don't have a choice. Have you considered what will happen if and when your "meltdowns" escalate to the point where you can't apologize your way out of them? Or, worse, where you are not able to pull yourself out?

You should consider seeking a psychiatrist or physician with experience prescribing psychiatric medication, but be ready for them to refuse to help you unless you commit to talk therapy of some kind also. Be aware that there are dozens of therapeutic modalities that are all different - your previous experience with therapy is unlikely to cover them all. You might have to go through multiple professional people before you find one that will fit what you need.

Imho anyone working on business applications could do with this. I get frustrated how naive so many software tools are regarding fincial controls and how developers dont know that so many data reconciliation issues were solved decades or centuries ago by accountants.

Same goes for basic infrastructure and configuration knowledge to a certain extent:)
My far most pleasurable experience is with the Ace Attorney series of games, which I think achieves it by the courtroom simulation.
> over time terrible terms seem to win out over reasonable ones

Tyranny of the marketplace, I guess. If most people are not bothered by the terrible terms, then the selection of items with non-terrible terms will be correspondingly small.

Case in point: I'd like to buy a TV (even at a higher price) that does not have ads all over the interface. From what I can tell, as of right now there are approximately a handful of such TVs, not counting older models that probably aren't produced any more. And of course out of that handful, most are not very good in other respects..

I don't know how to solve that apart from regulation, which is often a very poor solution.
This may not be a popular opinion, but nearly everything is more enjoyable for me with Python. It does have some snags which flip that script into a hell scape, but generally I love programming in Python because it feels like the least amount of syntactical friction.

The Lindy effect is not some immutable law. It's an observation and it does not necessarily have to be always true. A friend of mine was funded by a Tier 1 VC and has an office in Palo Alto. But all of engineering is in Princeton, NJ. He is thinking of opening another office somewhere in Texas if needed.
I think that it's important to both separate out the left/right axis from the vetocracy axis. But also to realize that even if one professes leftism on the National scale when it may not affect one's significant privileges, that at the local level that "leftism" may dissipate when it results in very real dissipation of one's significant privileges that happen only locally.

RSS is pub/sub, right? Doesn't social media like Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter - where you post stuff and other people post stuff - resemble that? Replace 'your' account, profile or page with your own website.

With the right website software it's easy to have an RSS feed nowadays, so the only thing that's missing is website software that also works like an RSS reader. In the most basic sense you only have to read XML with your program.

So now there's your own feed and other people's feed, mixed up in a nice and honest timeline (however you program that). To me this sounds a lot like the first principles behind social media, but without the obscure algorithms to fvck your timeline and without the intruding ads (I have nothing against ads per se).

P.S. Sorry for ranting about the weapons metaphor. I triggered on it and felt the need to tell what I think about language.

Edit: I forgot to say that RSS feeds have been there all the time for a lot of websites based on Wordpress. That has big value, because it means there's no need for technical adoption. These are all websites with feeds up and running right now. I've been hating on Wordpress for other reasons, but this was a good move for the open web from them.
Excellent work, really love this. I shared this in my Switch newsletter yesterday.
I would use something boring[1] since the virtues and vices are well known, documentation, libraries, and code samples will be plentiful, and I would not need to waste a ton of time getting a team up to speed on something cutting edge or finding and fixing edge cases that had not been ironed out yet.

Snake oil "2FA" manages to hurt both security (the phone network doesn't provide the imagined security properties) as well as usability (hassling customers to paste a numeric code), so that's not it.

This article itself is journalistic malpractice. The crime is fraud, not theft. Optus is not the party responsible for making this right, the banks that improperly debited his accounts are. By failing to explain the actual legal situation and directing focus towards a minor party, this article will cause other victims to fail at pressing the matter with their banks within the time windows for disputing fraudulent transactions.

I was prepared to be annoyed, but I think this might have actually contributed something. In political science, there are many axes/spectrums to grade things on and even more ways to quantify them, but I haven't actually heard of this one specifically yet. Big fan of the whimsical naming too :)

Also, I love the idea meta-political compass... As someone who's been on Twitter, yeah, that's a thing. We need a meta-meta-political compass now though. Let's fractal this.

How do you crush a beer bottle? They're always glass, no?

Or do you mean the beer can? In this case they can't be crushed, because the barcode has to be readable!

A friend tried hehe. If they're not too damaged you can put them back into shape, the machine is quite robust.
I love it, but I'd hold off on recommending it outright for everyone. There's a learning curve to be sure and if you run software not provided in its packing system it can take time to port to the Nix way

Just about everything in a NixOS is configured in a declarative way, but that only really scratches the surface. It's the first Linux OS I've used that configuration is done at a wholistic level

Say for example you have a RHEL/Debian Linux server and you want to see how it’s configured. This sounds easy, but can be quite time consuming. You can see what packages are installed but then you’d need to examine all the /etc files. Try and see which ones are modified. Look at all services, look for further configuration that may exist in /opt or /usr. When you get to a certain scale tools like Chef, Puppet or Salt tend to help with managing configuration. Over time to meet compliance and monitoring requirements configuration can grow. And that’s not getting into any filesystem permissions you may set.

If you're using `yum install` or `apt-get` to install packages out of the system repos, you'll get the latest package in that repo. Run that command at different times, you can get a different package version

In NixOS the system and packages are versioned together; makes for very reproducible systems. The downside/upside (depending on your needs) is, updating your kernel will update your packages in lockstep

With NixOS, you can configure a complete system with a single file making Chef, Puppet or Salt obsolete. Once you get over that first hurdle of using NixOS and moving your workloads to it, it tends to be easier to maintain

The major downside I run into is that most of the world does not use Nix[OS]. So if you need something not provided by Nix[OS], you’ll need to learn how to make your own package (derivation)

There are many caveats to everything I said above, but its the general idea
I’m sorry to hear that. In a certain way staying, then, means maximizing happiness (decent job plus consistent medical insurance >= new job)
> SSD was the only option. When GNOME apps started moving towards GTK3, CSD became the only option. What you're asking for is a new feature because GNOME never supported both.

Really? , You should just hide the Window titlebar , and paint your own CSD, titlebars were not forced on you https://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/gtk/GtkWindow.html#gtk-wi... , this is how for example splashscreens are implemented or fancy non rectangular windows , but to be honest I am not 100% sure if GNOME2 was also an asshold and disabled this GTK feature just to be spacial, if you can confirm then let me know if I am right then you need to acknowledge the fact that SSD was not forced on you(not Qt,not GTK, not even Windows/OSX forced SSD on you )
maybe too early for such conclusion?

Looks like there is are PDFs available if you pay for them.

From https://www.accountingcoach.com/about :

From clicking through the "Learn More" link, seems like a one-time fee of $49 gets you the PDFs. (As Patio11 would say, the author should raise his prices.)
GP didn't ask "compared to what". They said that showing an increase is not relevant without knowing the base value amount (or final value amount). Or hell, what the implications of the increase are in meaningful terms. Is this more than expected from a booster? Less? About the same?

I get this is a report to investors so I'm not the target audience, but unless the reader is familiar with the field, it's just "big number increase good".
It also does not solve the problem of subscription pricing - it's $25/year with no obvious one-time payment option.
I think you're misinterpreting decisiveness as arrogance. GNOME developers would probably like to respond to more of them but they can't because of lack of developers, so they have to make tough decisions about what to support. When downstreams don't handle some of the burden then it's a loss for everybody. KDE also does not really like or benefit from having a ton of downstream forks either, the project is way too large and it's more useful to get upstream contributions. Maybe it would be better if there were more choices, but nothing is perfect. You and I could probably find more things to complain about in any third/fourth/fifth choice.
haha, few things from my experience:

1)its terrifying how many people in c-suite roles (including purported CFOs and CEOs), and commercial/sales/product development roles don't actually understand accounting and finance basics.

2) the number of bookkeepers that pretend to be real accountants, but really they are just power users of a given accounting system

3) the massive miscommunication that takes place when two people that don't know what they are talking about try to tell the other what to do.
I copied and pasted your comment. Do you want to revise what you meant?

I encourage you to elaborate on what you meant if I got it wrong.

Yeah, I'm keeping an eye on these new "MPA"/"transitional" frameworks, but the thought of taking a static marketing page, which costs fractions of a cent to serve and is easy to put on a CDN, to now requiring a backend server which costs magnitudes more, seems foolish.
Punched Card Sorter
From Tesla's release of their full self-driving beta and its performance in a recent CGP Grey video where it successfully navigates the most dangerous road in America[1] I think a lot of people are going to have to eat their hats on this stance very soon.

I consider myself bullish on this tech, and I have worked closely with autonomous robotics, but I didn't expect it this soon.

Imagine how different the US would be if it was Big Public Transportation that lobbied to have towns and cities designed around them, rather than the car industry. Walking, cycling, buses, trams, trains, etc. etc. You'd still have cars but they wouldn't be a basic need for survival like they're often treated as, because you can't get anywhere without one.

Because it was basically 100 years ago when the car industry sought to dismantle that infrastructure, and succeeded.
I'm aware of the efficiency gains, it doesn't change what I said though. Power consumption for computing won't go down anytime soon in my opinion.
Manage your reputation very very carefully.

> Most glass is mostly sand, an abundant raw material.

Sand is not actually an abundant raw material [0]. Although sand in general is abundant, sand that is usable for construction and manufacturing is generally found on beaches and flood-plains - desert sand is less angular and usable. We extract 50 billion tonnes of sand per year and this is getting worse as a result of continued massive urbanisation. Ocean dredging for sand has significant ecological input.

This might not be why glass recycling started, but it suggests an incentive for continuing to do so.

It's unfortunate that they often fail to give you anything that wasn't possible with Fiddler over 10 years ago. There is much potential for automating the things that folks are doing in these tools repeatedly, especially things that devs are doing for other stakeholders like support teams. Obviously security folks have an interest in these tools, but they generally understand the potential and exploit it more effectively than the generalists.
Yes it is, I wonder if the "Visible" component of that statement is the most important part. There is so much propaganda floating around these days I sometimes wonder if the "Paper Tiger" concept deserves more credit than it gets.

people should be reading the chapters for the lecture ahead of time as their homework, and doing the practice problems in class instead of a lecture

While it's been decades since I went to college, I'm surprised this is no longer how it's done. That was pretty much the routine when I was in school.

At the end of the class, the professor would say, "Next week, we'll be doing X, Y, and Z. It's chapters A, B, and C in the book." You'd prepare for it over the weekend. The following week, we'd have a mixture of lecture, discussion, and quizzes.

Is it the other way around now? Lecture first, then the books and papers?

Yes. This. Please.

I've never liked the flipped classroom structure.

First, I'm a slow reader, so I always feel penalized when it takes me twice as long to get through a text as classmates.

Second, math/engineering/science lessons typically build upon understanding the first example. If you don't understand or have questions about the earlier parts of the lesson you will have a hard time completing the lesson.

Third, most text books I have encountered are terrible. Grade and High schools typically are trying to get the cheapest books so their dollar stretches further. In college, too many Profs/Departments push certain books because of kickbacks.

Finally, too often enough people don't complete the readings, so you end up covering the material in class anyway. Or worse, not at all. I had several profs who's assigned reading was never to be discussed in class but was prominently featured in tests.

I much prefer the typical lecture that allows for questions and discussions during the class. That way I can quickly address the issues I have with the material when I encounter it instead of having to wait till the next class hoping I don't fall too far behind.
