Imagine the following situation:

Someone anonymous on Twitter threatens to kill you. You go to the front desk of your local police and they say "You have our sympathies, but we have limited resources, and we don't know whether it's really a serious matter or not, or even if the perpetrator is within our jurisdiction."

You threaten on Twitter to kill your MP. They go to the head of the local police force who decides it _is_ a serious matter, looks into it and finds you _are_ in their jurisdiction, and some police officers come knocking at your door.

Is this the rule of law operating as intended, reflecting the reality that MPs have been murdered before, and in a world unfortunately constrained by finite policing budgets?

Or is it a double-standard, where a wealth of usually-unenforced laws allow the powerful to oppress their opponents?
That's factually incorrect. You are seriously out of date.

Here’s an example of such in Australia with one of our “Big 4” banks.

The pricing is competitive as the currently charge a flat monthly fee which comes up much cheaper than stripe.

I know as I’m integrating stripe into the new member site im building for our client and they’ve come back saying the old option is much cheaper.

AUD $300-400/month flat fee from the top of my head.

It’s missing many of stripes features though as I said earlier, which I’m now having to try to sell the client on as the benefit of additional automation and reporting coming at additional cost.

Stripe is not straight up cheaper in this case.

Sometimes slumps are best handled by doing something completely different for a while. Take up a hobby: write, start going to a gym, research a skill in a completely different field.

Calling for laws that would, under pain of imprisonment, prohibit people from engaging in voluntary economic interactions using software called cryptocurrency, is inexcusable.

It's perfectly fine to not use crypto and warn others of its lack of utility. It is not fine to argue that we need centralized gatekeepers monitoring and permissioning private interaction between consenting adults, to keep us safe. It is a fundamentally illiberal position that lends credence to tyranny.

Two can play at the gish gallop game. Please point me to the line in the Mueller report which 'explicitly states' that 'there is no evidence Trump colluded with Russia to interfere with the election.'

If this section of the report is any less imaginary than the great Korean wall I assume you would have pointed to that, and not vague snippets referring to insufficient evidence to support specific criminal charges, following Mueller's actual statements on collusion and evidence which were that "we applied the framework of conspiracy law, not the concept of collusion" and "A statement that the investigation did not establish particular facts does not mean there was no evidence of those facts".

Perhaps you wish to argue that the Trump campaign meeting with Russian agents for the primary purpose of receiving documents about Hillary Clinton as part of what Mueller established to be an organised Russian campaign to support his election using unlawfully obtained material does not meet your personal thresholds for "collusion" between the two campaigns. Understanding of the applicability of what Mueller calls "the commonly discussed term collusion" to the established fact of the Trump campaign taking that meeting is a matter of opinion rather than fact, after all. The Mueller report did, however, establish that the meeting was not invented by propagandists but definitely took place.

Apple APIs? I just thought of a generic bluetooth headset. On ios sound seems especially bad for me. My main comparison though is a dongle which is not bluetooth either.
I don't know. I like small and minimal, synonymous with Fabrice Bellard (TCC and QuickJS!), and I am glad the herd of elephants wasn't dragged in the door! But then again, I am not a front end dev or a full-time coder; I have been coding since 1978, and I don't only reminisce about small OS's and programs, but I think there should be an alternate path on software dev focusing on minimalism. I program in APL/J for starters, and C and Lisp (April at the moment, a subset of APL in Lisp), so I am happy to play with JS using QuickJS. I tried React, but it just exposed my non-front-end eyes to just how layered and large these ecosystems have become. I guess when that's what you work with all day, it's so familiar you take it for granted. I'd love to hear thoughts on this due to my ignorance on the matter. Thanks!
I disagree. IMO At this point the only tool that can effectively stop transmission is masking, testing,and isolation. In the good old USA we have none of those.

I understand that we originally believed the vaccine stopped transmission. It is time to let that go.

The vaccine is a tool to reduce the risk of hospitalization and mortality.

Whether or not Kids are Less infectious is not a good criteria to evaluate the worthiness of giving kids the vaccine. It protects them and the people around them.

Please don't conflate the lack of proper disease controls with evaluating vaccine effectiveness. We need better testing contact tracing and community outreach. We have really miss managed this.
I think a better analogy is that you requested a document about yourself from the state and a bureaucrat sent you your document and a whole bunch more you didn't ask for that was encoded using pig latin.

It's hard to deal with personal growth. I'm about to be 30, but all the way throughout my 20s I was constantly bombarded with new life experiences. Meeting new people, experiencing different cultures (travelling), finding and then losing love.

I mean, it got to the point that it was so hectic (though not necessarily bad) that I had to abandon everything and go live with my family for a while so I can decompress. As it happened, a month after staying at my parents and Covid became a thing.

I did a few changes like moving to Norway in the meantime, but all in all I have used this period to just do normal things and not worry about what happened in the past. And I can relate to this feeling of your "younger self", but I can say from experience that this "younger self" will eventually have to become more centered and mature.

And I think that also helps to weave through life later on, because you learn to let go of pressure of what was or what could be. It's the present where all the action - or inaction - happens.
I envision a sequel to Idiocracy where the main character discovers a hidden wondrous island city of intelligent people who recognized the problem and hid there rather than deal with the ever-reproducing morons.
Use your laptop's microphone.
Ryzen 9 with 16 cores and fancy-ish GPU is not really a mid-range setup, as I said, you can go lower with weaker components. (the other numbers I had at hand quickly were from way below the 1200€ mentioned in the comment I replied to, and I thought it was a useful upper mark). And in reverse, 20W peak is low for a laptop - my Thinkpad 480s (which I guess you can argue is not a mid-range laptop, but not exactly a workstation beast either) peaks more at 40.

The desktop comparison to many laptops is more a mini-ITX based, embedded-graphics box with e.g. a quad-core CPU. There idle <=15W is realistic. (And the laptop idles at ~5, so still more efficient of course). And the range between for components inbetween that and high-end.

Desktop is going to be worse than laptops, but people tend to overestimate how much power a desktop system actually has to use if it's built well. Modern CPUs are efficient at power-saving, PSUs have gotten better, ...
I am no more willing to pay for the oxygen I breathe than you are. It's not just free, it's also worthless. Paying for it would only make sense in a context like scuba diving, where I'd be in an environment in which finding my own oxygen was difficult.

Arguably, none of these account for the pollution due to extraction/refinement of materials, which is another concern raised with building more stuff. Recycling is also a polluting process (usually less so than new extraction) but unfortunately most electronics is never recycled and R&D in the hardware world is mostly focused on raw performance and does not even try to optimize for recyclability.

If any government cared at all about climate change, they would mandate hardware manufacturers to publish hardware sheets (for long-term maintenance and interoperability [0]), outlaw throwaway single-purpose computers (as opposed to flashable general-purpose computers [1]) and planned obsolescence, and invest massively in two key areas:

- green IT R&D: there's very little universities around the world working on this, and they operate on a shoestring budget

- public-service repair shops for electronics: it's ridiculously hard (or expensive) to find electronics repair services even in big cities, but having skilled people do a 1$ part change on a device that would otherwise be thrown away (eg. soldering a new micro-USB connector or changing a burnt capacitor) goes to great lengths to extend the lifetime of existing devices

I'm interested if people have more links/resources to share on that topic!

People should be free to spend their wealth on whatever they want, whether it's crypto, high-powered gaming computers, or abstract art.

If the environmental costs of crypto mining are genuinely your concern, the best solution is to advocate an agnostic solution, like restricting CO2 generating sources of energy, or energy consumption for ALL non-essentials (e.g. tourism, video games, crypto, etc).

Singling out crypto for its environmental costs, and calling for targeted restrictions on it that exempt other non-essential uses of energy, suggests a superficial basis for your position, like a negative emotional association, or dislike of crypto proponents.
Looking at the example for ‘spaghetti plot’ I’m reminded just how difficult it is to make meaningful visualizations of big datasets.

"In another language, say, C or C++, we might write a Makefile by hand.

Oh these Rustaceans or how they call themselves. Look at the gaming industry, if you're playing any AAA/AA game it's most likely C++, there's some market share on C# (where Unity is used), but still the whole gaming industry is C++, and it's bigger than movie/music industries combined.

So yes, people "do that", and it's not going to change anytime soon.
Well it's statistically likely that the students who don't do well on reading comprehension might struggle with other things too, but it's not like reading is not a foundational skill for being able to do well later in school.

One outlying example is dyslexics - one can be arbitrarily bright, but have enormous difficulty reading - I've personally known extremely intelligent people who struggled finishing high school because of their poor reading comprehension - this is something that ought to be remedied.

I'd say it's far more likely these students struggle academically - but the problem is that the further they fall behind, the more of an uphill battle for them to keep up with the class, let's say X takes 50% more time to solve a text-based math problem than his peers, but due to his poor reading comprehension he takes again 50% more time just to understand the problem - which might make the difference between failing and passing.

And as lacking as public schooling is, I'd expect them to do their damnedest that people leave school with at least basic reading comprehension after 12 years of education.

Look at his Twitter feed, he is completely obsessed with cryptocurrency and his newly acquired fame.

I'm thinking of Epic Games and their game Fortnite. The game was some kind of tower defence at the begining. They swithed to battle royal and made one of the most played video game of all time.

I think they could do it. In Germany, Telegram is often cited by media as a platform for (illegal) right-wing, antivax and hatespeech.

Perhaps, without realising it, you are experiencing grief.

We usually experience grief alongside death, but it is a feeling that can accompany many kinds loss — a breakup with a friend, or moving away from an old way of life.

I do not believe in „morals“, yes. Whatever you think is right is just your opinion, unless it is important enough that society decides to codify it in law. Christians think that homosexuality is immoral - should I care about their opinion and lecture my gay friends about their wrong behavior? I rather suggest one billion of people to go to hell with this belief. Same here. If you want to discuss my personality from „moral“ perspective, you can join them. Especially given that you suggest to analyze from „moral“ perspective data retention, which is a pure UX and product topic.

> any of a dozen components could fail and bring the box down permanently

The same is true with VPS and "cloud" setups. As the OVH fire last year showed, offsite backups are not a luxury. The chances of that, though, are ridiculously low. Higher-end dedicated hosts have very low failure rates due to using higher-grade hardware and rotating the hardware every few years; they also usually have very competent and available technicians on site which are paid by your monthly bill.

> If it was one virtual machine I'd say, sure, just use one box, you can bring up a new one automated in 10 minutes.

The same is true with dedicated servers. If you house them yourself then sure bringing up hardware replacement is going to take longer. But if you use a managed dedicated hosting solution (as was mentioned in the article) the provisioning times are sensibly similar to that of a VPS (a few minutes).

While replication can be a key part of your disaster recovery plan, I think it's more often useful for operational HA, allowing you to perform database server maintenance with low (seconds) downtime. Actual real disasters where you need to fail over to the secondary in an uncontrolled manner and recovering the primary is not an option are rather rare events for any single database system.

In an actual disaster scenario, the simplest option is to always try recovering the primary database if at all possible, especially if your replication setup is a simple asynchronous one. If you just fail over to a secondary, you will have to deal with data loss from asynchronous replication due to replication delay and whatever effects that has on your application (monitor your replication lag!)

You can also set up a cluster with synchronous replicas for "true" DR, but that gets much more complicated, and honestly is likely unnecessary for most systems.
It can take years to rebound from a very stressful period. I'm sure this is what I experienced years ago when I quit a very stressful and generally bad job. Just years of not feeling particularly interested in anything, being alienated, etc.
