As a native speaker of Russian, I often see lamentations from native Russian speakers how "real cool" phrases in print and movies when translated from Russian into English become ugly and simplistic as if rendered by a caveman.

That's because a lot of Russian speakers are under the impression English is just a linear calque of Russian with English vocabulary[0]. But natural languages are not isomorphic to each other. I was just watching Family Guy and remembered this scene where Peter responds "I know my way around a joke or two" to a question "who's the funniest dude in the house?" or something to that effect[1]. The phrase "to know one's way around something" doesn't exist in Russian in its literal form. Speaking of "ways", the phrase "I fought my way to the top" is another one that doesn't have a direct Russian counterpart. These phrases are the product of English speaking mind. Russian has its own unique phraseology that usually gets butchered when ported into English. The point is what one thinks sounds cool in one's native tongue doesn't have to sound just as cool in the target language as natural languages never sat down at a round table to agree to have 100% linear correspondence between each other. By the way, in one Russian translation of that Family Guy episode they make up their own (I should say funny) joke instead of translating "I know my way around a joke".

[0] Obviously, you can replace "Russian" with any other ethnicity/nationality and "English" with any other language.

[1] "To that effect" or "along those lines" are yet other English phrases that do not stand in one-to-one correspondence with any idioms in Russian.
> Yet if I ask my kids about the Democratic party, they think it's too far to the right.

A lot of people in America’s peer countries think the Democratic Party is at least as right-wing as their own country’s center-right party. We are now living in a world with globalized social media. Your kids are learning to not necessarily believe the mythologies.
If it were extremely well documented with a lot of nice examples the open/closed nature of the libs would be a secondary question.
Especially given the existence of Find My, which makes it easy to set up phone tracking so we can "stalk" each other. Apparently it's okay to track wife's phone but it's not okay to track my wife's backpack.
I mean, maybe I prepared myself because the title itself suggests a complexity, but I felt the length was both warranted and necessary to make its case.
Not sure what you've said right there but OPs phone wasn't made to be a functional phone. Hes turned it into a mp3 player for his mother's birthday messages. Also I'd disagree on the mostly dead part. Anyone over 30

> But the thought was that it would greatly reduce the risk of spreading the disease, such that once a sufficient number of people were vaccinated herd immunity would kill off the virus and end the pandemic. We're now two years in with a 73% vaccination rate in the US (not counting those with natural immunity),

This was very clearly and openly discussed when the vaccines first came out: vaccines would help reduce spread and with a high enough rate that would end the pandemic but that we’d need relatively high vaccination rates to stop something which can spread this easily.

This was correct and the data suggests that it could have worked but we never seriously tried it. As of today, 61% of Americans have been vaccinated. That is far, far below the 90+% threshold used in those first messages — and that was before Delta and the Omicron delivered both higher spread and reduced effectiveness to make the problem harder.

The other thing to remember is that the pandemic ending doesn’t necessarily mean complete eradication. If, as appears to be the case, vaccination and medications significantly reduce the risk of serious illness and/or long COVID, that will probably be enough to get it down to the level of, say, influenza.
No, I don't want to be misunderstood. It's true that you can define a consistent logic for any permutation of abortion and capital punishment. It's just that so few people do attempt to define that logic. Most people viscerally agree or disagree with them as a matter of tribal / partisan identity, without asking themselves why they agree with one but not the other.
Not really. Most narcotics lead to serious drug problems that definitely put a strain on others. I wouldn't say our drug laws are perfect, but they are aimed at reducing dangers to others, and to a reasonable degree, it accomplishes that.

I loved my Concept2 erg (vintage Model B that I found on CraigsList for $100, and refurbished it using parts that the company still had in stock). I bought it after the Concept2 and treadmills were my favorite machines in two gyms.

I regretted selling the Concept2 just before my last apartment move, and I plan to buy one again when I have a stable place to put it.

The Concept2 erg is expensive, and a matter of taste. So, if a person has never used one, they might want to try one out at a gym first.

Don't feel bad. I've been in the industry. I've been fined for failing to log communications properly. I've been in conversations with Katten about this very topic, and you are not correct.

My fine happened to be that we logged every single piece of email communication, but we used a vendor who wasn't Finra approved to do the logging. The idea that the SEC cares about logging communications is most certainly the pitch that they give for why they're doing what they're doing. But it's not reality.

These fines exist for exactly two purposes: (1) so the government can put out PR that they're totally doing their job and regulating the banks, when we all know they are just a revolving door to the banks. And (2) to create 'regulatory capture' for the banks, who will gladly fork over a few hundred million per year so long as it makes it too difficult for their competitors to navigate the regulatory landscape. As we were told, there's mostly nothing you can do to avoid the fines. They invent a new reason to fine you ever year. View it as a tax, and hope they don't raise the taxes next year.

> The SEC is absolutely fine with these communications being encrypted, as long as they are logged by the employer.

From a factual standpoint, this is just wrong. Unless you mean they log the decrypted messages. The SEC has rules about the format you must log in, and encrypted is not one of them.
After coding professionally for 15+ years I still use GDD (Google-Drive Development).

I was embarrassed by it for a long time and attempted to memorize Git commands, standard libraries, keyboard shortcuts, etc. with little to no long-term success and lots of time invested.

Glad to see others also relying on external knowledge rather than trying to internalize everything.

The idea is to have a body that looks, feels, and behaves like it's 20-30 years old, and extend that state as far as possible. The idea isn't to indefinitely extend the existence of decrepit cryptkeeper type humans. "I don't want to live that long" arguments are missing the point. Death and old age suck. People are trying to mitigate that.

Honestly, it was a surprise to me when the recruiter told me the number in the meeting. My first thought was "this is a joke", so it was a little hard being calm.

I think they saw an average of salaries in Glassdoor. The problem is that in Argentina we have 60% inflation annually so information there gets old pretty quickly. Salaries grow 2x every 2 or 3 years. Maybe explaining that helps. I would like to know where they got their estimation for the salary.
A good example of this is the translations of Asterix and Obelix - so much of the humor is puns which don’t translate, so they have to rework the jokes to make new puns - and it works surprisingly well.
May I ask, what kinds of things do you rely on to check the fulfillment / meaning box?
Yes I have experienced racism, of various types and many times over the years.

The fact that I understand why it happened doesn't harm me. Does it make you feel better to believe that the bad things that have happened to you are due to spiritual evil? Personally I find a mechanistic, value-neutral explanation more conforting (and far more useful since it's, yknow, correct).
Previously, I reacted to the people who think Fauci is the devil by going "well, they're obviously and frighteningly nuts".

However, even if I don't think he's doing meaningful harm, I'm increasingly feeling like he's "just saying stuff".

Like, I heard from a friend that he explained how we shouldn't see the booster as an extra, but as the third in a three shot sequence.

Ok, fine, (yes I got mine) but it seems like pure spin that's encouraging the people who rant about endless boosters and Soviet style revisions to the party line.

I don't know what he should say, maybe just don't bother. There's no value added in trying to make suggestible people a little more or less fearful and poking people who are resistant to his message.

Dramatic leadership is not needed at this point.

I've been told by top Democratic politicians that the pandemic is not severe enough for telecommuting of "nonessential" office workers. So, don't tell us to be "prudent".

Also, to those who keep saying this is seasonal, it isn't yet. You can look at the charts of cases and see the sine wave, but it's not synced to a season, it's been cycling more quickly and less predictably. And even if it was appearing to be seasonal, it wouldn't prove anything because it's evolving rapidly. Each cycle is a different bug.

Perhaps I am misunderstanding you, but wouldn’t those two non-technical roles have pretty significant reason to have ownership/input into a product?

I could see extreme positions on every end I guess.

The Marketer has no idea what is technically realistic and makes promises to customers that are not technically feasible.

The Accountant paralyzes decision making and reduces expenses via a variety of counterproductive means to protect the bottom line.

The Engineer just wants to build cool things and does not really care if it makes money or customers actually want it/might find it cool. So long as curiosity is piqued and we can give it away for free to other engineers.

I think they all have a role to play in the process, given that at the end of the day, you can’t have a product without money, customers won’t buy a product if it is not appealing/meets their requirements/something usable, and you can’t have money or a marketable product without people building it under mostly realistic expectations.
It looks like we're realizing some efficiencies from mechanization and automation. Newer generation designs will be a bit better, it looks like. But-- nuke operating cost is OK. The operating cost is not an issue with us having plenty of power when we want it even if the vast majority of our power mix was nuclear (and that's not something I advocate for: just an increased share of nuclear in the mix).

The issue is the capital costs-- and as you say, they are awful right now because so few nuclear plants are being constructed, because:

- They face an unclear and varying regulatory environment, where there have been plants fully completed and not granted a license to commence operation.

- Natural gas is so damn cheap.
Lol, so on re-reading this, my tone comes off as patronizing and dickish. Unintentional demonstration.
The answer is, in most cases so long as you have a traditional landline, they have to do something special to turn it off. No one wants to put in a new switch and find out 10% of their customers cant use their existing phones, so all the carrier grade stuff supports it. VoIP is another issue, you have to hunt a bit harder to find a VoIP ATA with support for it, but they're out there.

seems to me the real point of devops was employers trying to mash together two expensive categories of labor in a desparate effort to control overhead in a nation that spent 40 years prioritizing blind consumerism, reality television and talent shows over public education and STEM.

mashing together devs and ops inevitably results in schisms of devsecops and netops and ^ops because developers have enough shit to worry about on the daily without needing to learn the absolute intricacies of the OS as it applies to dev and prod. employers tried to get them around this by insisting "move fast and break things" with the push-to-prod mentality only to realize a 7 hour outage as a result kindof dims the outlook for everyone, shareholders included.

so employers wound up embracing the buzz and holding the line where it made sense, with some devops as developers, other devops as mostly ops, and still more devops as network-centric roles that handle things like firewalls and traffic too. now, people are going to point to automation and say "infra as code means devops is still a departure from traditional ^ops" but heres the secret: shit like cfengine has been around since 1993 and grandstand conferences on devops didnt show up until nearly 16 years later, and hyperconvergence showed up in 2009 which basically expands on software defined network and infra, so a cogent argument can be made that automation/convergence alone isnt devops, it was always happening anyways...so theres the wizard behind the curtain:

devops was just a trick to get you to do more so your boss didnt have to hire network and ops.
> I don't think you mean to belittle the skilled trades (which, ultimately, the industry most of us work in is destined to join) the way you're doing here. But it might be worth reflecting on how what you're saying might be coming across.

I'm in the same trade, if that helps. What I do isn't the most important thing in the world. It's fine. I do my best, which is what I can do; that is my standard and it makes me very satisfied and gives me joy.

(I once read someone call that point of view the core of the Enlightenment, the discovery by Copernicus that we are not the center of the universe, implying that 'I' am not the center either.)

> The premise of your response is that these challenges we face in our culture and politics are best addressed by a 4-year liberal arts education.

> it implies that only a subset of people who hold degrees are qualified to engage with society.

It can be matters of degree, not extreme claims. Liberal arts can be significant help for some things in life without being required. Analogously, certain IT education can be significant help, but not required. (Corporate HR being the exception, absurd enough to require them!) And yes, there are people who are judgmental and 'require' them to pass muster in their eyes; I completely reject their point of view; that's not what I'm advocating.

Maybe this is closer to your concern: Does it suck to be at a 'disadvantage' to someone who has studied those things for four years in college? I guess it could be seen that way, but it's not an insult (and it doesn't define an outcome, just an input - people learn the same things without the advantage of liberal arts educations, they are just at a disadvantage in time and resources). We all have advantages and disadvantages; we can't know even a fraction of everything; we all make choices and take forks in life. Some learn computer science, some history; if they are both serious and work at it for four years, they will of course each know much more about their chosen field of study than the other person does. How could they not? The same goes for going to college and doing something else; each has a unique set of advantages and disadvantages, better for some things (for that unique person in that unique situation), and yes, worse for others.

Let's not kid ourselves that people don't miss something by not studying liberal arts; let's not respond with sour grapes - it cuts us off from the everything outside our experience. It's life, we each do something else than X for almost all X, and we are each on different paths - must yours/mine be the best, most important X for the entire universe of life? For one thing, we can still learn and there are incredible things to learn. One upside to 'we can't know even a fraction of everything' - and forgoing sour grapes - is that we'll never run out of new, incredible learning when we want it. With online learning (thank you IT people), we could take a liberal arts class now.

You're moving the goal posts and assuming your conclusion.

"baseless, sweeping antisemitic conspiracy theories are bad" was never the question.

The question is whether cultural Marxism as a concept is in fact a "baseless, sweeping antisemitic conspiracy theory".

Don't just assume the answer is yes.

Don't just try to associate the words with people you've labeled as bad.

Make the actual case that the content of cultural Marxism, as it is presented by its fairest and best proponents (not the worst extremist fringe hangers-on), is itself antisemitic, baseless, sweeping, and a "conspiracy theory".
> because the ringer requires a much higher voltage than can be generated by a small computer.

I mean that’s not quite true. A magicjack which is basically an ATA is about the size of the Pi Zero and produces ring power. A REN is on the order of 10 mA which at 90V can be generated by a very small (like smaller than a dime) switcher.

Indeed the quickest and easiest way to “modernize” an old phone is probably to stuff the guts of a readily available analog telephone adapter and interface it to a Pi, or a Wi-Fi adapter, etc.

You might even dispense with the pi:

> Maybe they should find logic gates in the decompression algorithm

There is an iMessage zero-click exploit from NSO Group used in the wild. Project Zero did a deep dive on it:

https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2021/12/a-deep-dive-i...

After a series of steps, the exploit eventually arrives at the need to do general computation. They achieve this by utilizing a part of the JBIG2 decompression algorithm, effectively using the phases of decompression to emulate logic gates to eventually build NAND gates, and from that a simple instruction set for a virtual computer. They then execute arbitrary code on this virtual machine.

> use those to emulate a threaded cpu, and launch a multithreaded decoding process on that cpu

This is a tongue-in-cheek joke I suppose. Even if you built multi-threading support on the virtual machine, it is still an emulated environment running within a single-threaded decompression algorithm. So it is effectively single-threaded on the real machine.

> which finds the original decompression process in memory and executes on the same image being decompressed

The original exploit is quite meta, so OP is just making a meta joke here.

When I read the comment I suspected immediately that it was a joke in reference to the above exploit, but it was cryptic enough that I wasn't quite sure.
It means that how things become salient is very different. For example, all of this school board nonsense. It appears they've started to cross the line, and people have begun to notice. And now there's pressure to move more toward the average position of the party. It's quite different from these more centralized states with party platforms that actually mean something.
Yes, the global honey bee population has been growing steadily for a long time. This is due to increasing demand for honey and pollination services.

In the US, it's been pretty stable even after colony collapse disorder appeared here in the mid-2000s. The rate at which individual colonies collapse has increased, but beekeepers have responded by creating more colonies to replace them.

The piece was beautiful, and very much worth the long read. I think if it had some kind of reading time estimate at the top of the article, the random-click-throughs may be less put off. I've been maning to do that for pieces I plan on writing. When picking up a book you can feel how long a read it is, flipping through a magazine you can see how many pages an article is. A single scrolling web page that you click to, blindly, can ambush you from a time cost..
Being a distributed company I did some research and found what their salaries are. They tend to pay around 120k~160k. I guess they are trying to offer me much less because of where I live. I never thought they would made such a low offer. According to them their offers are localized.
Always look at long-term price charts on a log scale. Otherwise early fluctuations are dampened if there was an upward price trend.
I can see where you're coming from. In my experience, people who can read an analog clock well can do it faster than someone reading a digital one.
Maybe that's why you're suffering instead of enjoying it.

Normal phone lines will supply upwards of 100ma, but since you only need to ring one ringer, you can do with less, you can also tune the ringer to make it more sensitive.
