I've seen this site before. It's, um, zealous.

I travel light. I have since the 90s. I never ever ever checked a bag before 9/11, but since then I've often done so for two reasons:

- Absurd restrictions on liquids in the cabin; and

- Equally absurd restrictions on carrying my Swiss Army Knife.

Once you check a bag, you need another bag to carry some essentials aboard the plane.

Even on a short weekend trip, though, if I buy sample sizes and ditch the SAK, I end up with a small additional bag. It's easier to do that than constantly open the overhead to get a different book, or your tablet, or whatever.

One-bagging is also a poor choice for business travel, since you likely want a smaller computer bag so you don't have to use your much larger "one bag" as your office bag.

OneBag purists also have a WILD hatred of wheelie bags that seems rooted in a refusal to realize that, for many people whose travel patterns are home to airport to destination hotel/home, they're perfect. The extra weight isn't a problem because they roll. There's a great reason why they're very very popular with full-time/very frequent travelers.
Then you are an asshole and a danger. Stop doing that. Pay attention to the road. Just because you are currently at a stop does not mean that your attention is no longer needed. You will need to be aware of the situation around you when you start moving, and you will not be aware of it if you have been looking at your phone.
Not outdoors but post COVID if you are keen on sweaty, grimy, grubby Foxconn/HonHai factories, mystery meat delivered for lunch then any name brands consumer electronics(MAAGA-Netflix is out of the question) that makes doodahs is fair game. Typically these companies hire for roles such as software engineer(embedded/manufacturing/test). I did this once and probably not going to do it again.
Total employment is up so I don't think they're surviving without jobs. Most quit one job to take another.
I don't believe they are quitting their jobs without having other jobs. They are just moving jobs.
> I think there is as of yet insuficient data to support that claim.

I don't disagree per se but:

1. I don't give corporations the positive benefit of the doubt. They have done way too many attacks on privacy and I think it'd be naive to think they won't get tempted to have a below-the-kernel backdoor access to everyone's systems. They absolutely would, given the chance. Let's not give them the chance is what I am advocating for.

2. It's not about the advertised good use of the tech. We should first and foremost look for the abuse potential. If it's there then the tech should be dropped. Failing that (because it's too idealistic, I realize that) then we should make double and triple sure our routers and switches are secure and will stop suspicious traffic (if that's even possible for a home user...). Or have systems in place that don't let in every single firmware update.

They're entirely correct. Google and Apple operate as a cartel.

If the web experience wasn't 90% Google (outside of social media), and the phone experience wasn't 50% Apple / 50% Google, everything would be cheaper due to competition.

Just look at the percentages app developers pay. In a free market with five alternatives, there probably wouldn't even be an app store. We'd do native app downloads over the web and invest a ton of energy into security and privacy controls.
Catching exceptions higher up the stack changes the control flow of a program.
Only as a last resort. Anchor high/shoot the moon, and only take less money for less work if you have to.

In this job market, employers are likely to agree to demands versus churn a role (at least the forward thinking ones).
try:
do_something_complex(*args, **kwargs)
except MyException as ex:
logger.log(ex)

Basically this method is a giant @TODO, which does make sense in some cases. Either it's unknown at the present moment what a piece of data will look like (like scraping, or some poorly undocumented API); or the developer just doesn't have enough time and will deal with it later, which you can laugh at, but it can make a lot of sense when looking at the higher level goals of the project, our time is limited.

I usually do this at the top level of a batch job, where you don't want it to halt the entire job. Or for a GUI app, but then also launch some sort of notification to the user / reload the app. Basically whatever makes the most sense in the context for accounting for something you didn't account for.
Sure, but few comments are useful to a full 50% of readers.

Bad administration, maybe you could blame the fact that metro is funded by 4 jurisdictions (DC, Feds, MD, VA) who all sit on the metro board and have done a terrible job of getting costs under control and maintaining quality over the last two decades.
Totally fair. You've convinced us to put that into our next release. While that's a big flaw it's a simple fix, and it should be in the code base by the end of the week.
“Popcorn Time” Shuts Down Due to a Lack of Use
Frankly I doubt you even need metaclasses in the first place (at least in non-library code).

I get that it's a dynamic language but if I need metaclasses for something it's more likely than not to be a hidden technical debt generator.
Right, and see how you remember that? He had to go to the hospital. In the car situation, the kid is dead.
Just because productivity has doubled in 40 years doesn't mean that people have been twice as productive.

Also salaries and wages aren't dependent on how hard you work. It is how much value you bring to a company (and how easily you can be replaced).

About 15 years ago .NET programmers were getting much higher rates than they are today in the UK (at least in London). The last time I looked node, go, AWS and other things were much more highly paid.
Really? Practically zero. We would just promote users to be staff and let them get on with it. When we had enough complaints against a staff member (they would all become Hitler eventually), then we would fire them and upgrade another member.
When the network is segmented multiple chains could form. Likely KZ would have a very low hash rate, so that segment would take very long to form blocks (or never complete any). Once the networks rejoin, the global chain almost certainly "wins" and the local chain is ignored. Transactions written to a KZ block will show some confirmations, but won't remain in the eventual dominant chain.
Yeah, it's inherently ableist.
Oh, the time and trouble I would have saved!

Now I'm set for the future, thanks!
Fastmail is great, but this is not a reason. Gmail had this >10 years ago, and Thunderbird too.
Wasn't the idea behind this to make most code boring, and have only a small part of it exciting? Just like when structured programming was created, or even local variables introduced, etc. (Of course, the exciting part had to be moved into the compiler in those cases.)
I would argue Apple Maps is already better in several important ways. It is only a matter of time before it no longer makes sense to use Google Maps.
Yeah, I basically had those things but was very bored by my job, especially after starting working from home. Luckily I managed to find a job where I still have those things but within a domain which is more interesting to me. So the answer could be: Switch industry/company.
Ditto is really good. I've been using it for a long time too.

Not only does it store a bunch of things but it's really easy to search through existing clips, especially text.

It's also:

- Extremely efficient from a runtime perspective, it uses ~2mb of memory
- Loads nearly instantly when you invoke it
- Very easy to paste something without formatting (surprisingly useful)
- Open source

It's in the same category of greatness as IrfanView and foobar2000 for Windows apps that I'll likely use until the end of time.
Where's Today's Beethoven?
I'm glad JS is adding these methods to Array. It would be nice if iterables had similar methods for working with lazy sequences, similar to Rust, but this isn't practical since "iterable" is a protocol. Array can do it because it's a class. Perhaps JS could also adopt something similar to Rust's traits, such that implementing the protocol would make a set of related methods callable on that object.
Why does it matter if traffic was stopped for a full minute because of a red light, or for some other reason?

>This is a easy to read list of alternative Search Engines. As you can imagine, you are not going to find this page from the gatekeepers at Google.

Well, not that page perhaps but Googling "Alternative Search Engines" yields a robust set of search results that pretty much give the same answer as the OP's page.
Eh, even bootcamp grads are getting multiple offers these days. I wish I had graduated in this market.

I don't understand cyclists.

Unless there's a dedicated lane, you're putting your life in the hands of others... much moreso than being in a vehicle. I can appreciate the ideal of safe cycling on a road shared with cars, but it's not a reality.

There should just be separate lanes/carve out for bikes. Or, in a world of fully automated cars, cyclists can trust that they're safe. It's good to push for safety, but not realistic to expect it to happen fully in practice.

Personally I would love to cycle, but not a risk worth taking for me.
Actually, it does mention in the article (referring to UK law, and the man is based in the UK) that the prosecutors want to see evidence of interactive phone use. That means that 'glancing at your phone every once in a while' is likely not enough to warrant their attention.
CS 253 Web Security
In my career (over 30 years now), full-stack in the context of web development has always referred to an engineer who could setup the tech stack and application from scratch. They can manage the servers, administer the network (as it relates to permissions for the various web-related processes), implement developer environments, code the back-end, code the front-end, some basic design skills, experience with developing UX, and is deeply familiar with the network protocols being used.

Anyone claiming to be full-stack should be able to handle light dev-ops for a small to medium sized company for at least a few days without breaking things. They should be able to sit in any other generalist coder's chair for a week. They should be able to work closely with a designer to help develop the look and feel of the application and have an understanding of the domain tools and language. They should be able to work closely with a DBA to help develop the best database for the application. They should be able to debug complex app behaviour with their understanding of how the different sections work, even if they don't have explicit knowledge of specific areas of the application.

A full-stack "developer" may only refer to the coding and design+UX portions of that description, but should still be very familiar with how the server software and network works. A single framework may provide a full-stack development solution (RoR, for example), but a full-stack engineer needs to cover a lot more ground than just development.
btw, "Heart of Darkness" is a great book. Did you read it?
Yes, it's incredibly annoying how little attention it seems to get from google. Bugs sit in the bug tracker for years and while I like the redesign it broke a function I used (to get the current URL so create multi-page apps). Apps Script just got a new UX update not long ago which I took as a good sign but App Maker had a roadmap going out a year when it got killed, so.

For people interested in construction I really recommend checking out Passive House Accelerator on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFsq1de6hTZOuwQd46pRUQg).

Building energy efficient homes from regenerative and recyclable materials makes more sense than a stone and steel bunker.

> Under high memory pressure

Just to again note that just because a program says it's using N MB of RAM doesn't mean that all of that RAM is actually paged in. Every thread you execute has an 8+MB stack but most of it won't get allocated for the majority of programs.

> we start digging into swap, and at that point, the UI is starting to significantly chug.

Only if you're constantly swapping in and out of swap. Just putting something into swap and never retrieving it won't case issues.

I'd generally recommend disabling swap altogether though and just letting OOM take out misbehaving processes.

This isn't all to say that using less memory is 'bad', but when people say 'oh that program is such a memory hog' I wonder if they might be measuring incorrectly, or not realizing what it's doing with that memory.
> but reinforced concrete is a poor choice for a long lifespan building due to its susceptibility to corrosion

You can reinforce concrete with materials other than rebar. The theory behind reinforcement is a great idea, we shouldn't abandon it. If you don't reinforce it, it needs to be much much thicker and the ground needs to be much more resistant to uneven settling.

The most durable construction is solid stone, period. Go to a quarry, quarry some gigantic boulders, carve them into giant walls and pillars. It will be very difficult to install but it's been done before by ancient peoples. It will be a very cold house, but it will last thousands of years. Some rich dudes in Egypt made some pretty big ones a while back, but I imagine we could make them more efficient today.

Barring that, just pour the entire house out of a slow-cure concrete. The foundation doesn't actually have to last 1,000 years, it just needs to be modifiable with jackscrews into the main load-bearing members of the house.

How long were those studies going on for? I can do 12-14 hour days for a week, I even once programmed quite challenging code for 36 hours without making anymore mistakes towards the end, but after I do this I'll be very tired for a few days once the rush is over.

There is a big chunk of the world that doesn't live in wooden houses, so rebuilding the frame indeed is a big deal compared to "just" redo all the wirings and plumbings.
It's a weird article of faith for OBers that wheelies are bad, but for a huge chunk of travelers they're exactly the right option because their travels are comprised of home to car to airport to plane to taxi to hotel, all on smooth surfaces.

They're the rule for business travelers and (significantly) air crews, and those choices aren't made out of fashion or inertia.

I mean, if you're trekking in Nepal, yeah, it would suck, but it seems like the OB faithful have a one-size-fits-all disdain for the whole category.
Adults being nervous without telling them why certainly is. I'm not saying the disruption to your child's schedule is helping things, but I know plenty of people who aren't nine, haven't had a significant disruption in their routine, and are still constantly anxious because everyone else is. I'd just caution against seeing a fixed routine as a magic bullet.
> Bread in 2021.... https://www.reddit.com/r/Cheap_Meals/comments/rvy340/bread_i...

That's not a recently developed product, let alone a recent invention:

https://newengland.com/today/food/new-england-made/bm-brown-...

> It’s not clear when B&M (the letters stand for co-founders George Burnham and Charles Morrill) started selling their version of the classic New England bread (a sweet variety made from cornmeal, wheat and rye flours, and molasses), but like its Necco Wafer and Moxie soda kin, the canned bread has been around so long it’s hard to imagine a time when it wasn’t for sale.

The article has an ad for it from the 40s.
what storage? there is no storage.
Yeah this is great, __init_subclass__ comes along to make dynamic injection of methods and attributes on class creation easier, just as the entire practice is fast becoming fully obsolete because type checkers like pylance and mypy report these attributes and methods as errors.
For a lot of lower wage people, the ~$3k stimulus checks they got last year was the first time in their lives they've had enough financial breathing room to quit abusive jobs and have a break without having another job immediately lined up. To someone who historically made on the order of ~$10/hr, $3k in helicopter money is a significant cushion. And jobs are abundant at every level of the economy, so risk of quitting is minimal when they can probably quickly land a better job than what they had before.

I think the coverage of this is a bit confusing though. The focus on "quitting" makes it sound like these people are all done working which I don't think is true.
I agree that packing lists often devolve to the Minimalist(tm) Shopping List.

For me, packing light is about lack of hinderances. I carry two bags (!!!) because I find the organization to be easier, but I can still ride on the back of a hired scooter and walk 5-miles across town if needed. I'd rather just pack more underwear than spend time washing it in the bathroom sink.
Yep, this is expected much of the time. Dev-Ops is basically always on-call.

I've stopped marketing myself as full-stack because I don't want to be on call. I can (and will) still do the job if needed, but prefer to specialize in my old age.

Where I live it is illegal to not stop at a stop sign while riding a bike.

The law protects others as well as the person running the stop sign without stopping.

I find it fascinating how often I see cyclists with no helmet on traveling 15+ mph through a stop sign without stopping.
I appreciate the really in depth reply; however, they truly do sound similar if Flatpak was the only package manager installed in the OS. The PopOS! distro is like this and is working on relying more on Flatpak than Apt, for example.
You can build with straw bale and wood today.
In your code, you don't have to use exceptions to indicate a failure but you still have to catch exceptions thrown by third-party libraries (or their dependencies).

A lion is my pet theory for The Beast of Gévaudan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beast_of_Gévaudan
On that logic, if that's the case, then shouldn't a responsible "mainstream" media (CNN, NY Times, WaPo, etc.) be talking about these published papers by Pierre Kory et al. even if positioned as "minority viewpoints"? Instead what we tend to see is fact checkers springing into action and media continuing to only push a single "majority" narrative further dividing all of us instead of uniting us together to have open dialogue and letting the best ideas win in the public space.

It's all so bizarre.
It sounds like it's failing to lookup what program to launch from the file type. That's all but certainly either a corrupt OS install or a bad storage drive then, and wouldn't be indicative of any general problem with Framework laptop's linux support (or lack thereof).

Yes, our site was ethically wrong, but I'll add that the studio holding the copyright to most of the items on our site used our site to download their own material and it was brought up in board meetings. The studio staff would occasionally send me PMs on the tracker when we got something that was pre-release and ask us to take it down until it had aired on TV.

After we closed down the studio borrowed the name of our site and set up their own legal streaming service, finally.
Why ask when you can easily find out the answer? I suspect because the answer is "very, very few" and it doesn't fit with a certain narrative.

I don't think slate roofs are that bad - our house is an exceptionally exposed spot and has a slate roof and we lose maybe one or two slates a year to storms. Our wooden windows and doors are a far bigger maintenance headache than our roof.
They sold a product with a UL stamp on it claiming the cable had a certain fire safety rating that's required by building code for multi-story runs. For whatever reason, they learned the cable didn't actually conform to that rating. They therefore had to recall the cable (and replace any installed runs) to presumably avoid getting sued for any buildings that burn down that happen to have their mislabeled cable in the walls.

In my particular usage it was all single story and so the lack of the claimed UL rating didn't seem to materially matter. I mentioned that to the various points of contact that I had, but it was 2 or three layers deep of subcontractors, and they just trudged ahead with their directive.

The funny thing is that Monoprice sent me another 500' spool of properly rated cable, and the contractors didn't bother to take the 400' or so left of unused faulty cable. So, I have a bunch of "free" high quality but unusable for construction cat6.

They also say the "duplicate" "wildcards" have different SANs. Their whole narrative makes no technical sense, but presumably the situation is that they've technically got a very limited understanding of what they're doing and the people selling the product have understandably limited enthusiasm for trying to educate suckers who are buying a product. What's the line from Margin Call? Sold to willing buyers at the current fair market price.

Electron feels to me a lot like stand-alone flash apps used to feel.

I get that same feeling when I open an program using it; kind of a 'oh...' slight disappointment. I get that it makes sense sometimes for a developer to sacrifice performance and size for ease of development... but as a user, it feels like a loss, a sign the developer will be taking too many shortcuts, or that I just won't like their general design philosophy.
