I don't know about the demographic claim but definitely the French could not imagine _fighting_ another war and so their preparations were poor. They built the Maginot Line as a way of avoiding having to fight again. And I believe the political culture in the country and army all rotated around the idea that they never wanted to fight Germany again. This also extended to the Treat of Versailles were they tried to cripple Germany's ability to raise an army again. I don't know about the demographic claim, but he is sort of right that WW1 wrecked Frances fighting spirit.
I think one of the challenges this first wave of federated platforms have is that they are coming in late and still trying to mimic the interaction paradigms of centralized, ad-driven platforms like Facebook and Twitter. But those platforms were designed, from the ground up, to foster platform lock-in and habituate people into giving up data, providing ads, and be goosed for engagement.

I hope once a Fediverse culture takes root we will see a second generation of federated services that start experimenting and doing things in ways that are, for lack of a better term, "natively" federated rather than simply trying to mimic something closed. That might be when it really takes off, when you start seeing things that work best in a federated environment and make awkward fits for a centralized one. A good example of something like this might be the mod scene in gaming, which Steam tries to get a piece of but can't quite seem to corner.

My name is Patrick and I'm a full-stack developer interested in working with Laravel which I know inside/out or with interesting new tech stacks. I have 9 years professional experience as a developer mostly doing contract work. I've been building web sites/apps and dabbling with php scripts since 1998. I've been using laravel since 2013. I've done contract work for Insomnia Cookies, TheAtlas / GovExec, and many smaller companies and agencies. I'm open to full-time, part-time, and contract work.

Argo Workflows would need to be fully configured with Argo Events and Argo CD to make this happen, specifically with additional Workflows for error processing, multiple sensors for input, and a secondary tier of custom sensors for watching tasks or Argo CD apps past the pipeline run. The workflows (main pipeline and handling pipelines) would likely require custom logic as well. Definitely feasible, but can be complicated.
I really want to see PWAs become a viable option for distribution, but you do have a point. I sometimes end up on websites using my iPad where I can't even read the content. I wonder why the company would publish a site so poor that it seems like they didn't even try it on an iPad and then I remember they've already gotten my ad impressions, so they've gotten everything they want and don't care if I get to read the content.

I don't think those sites get penalized much either. I arrived via search or a link and they don't get demoted in search or have that link removed. I can't flag them as being a bad site or "take back" my view. I find it very frustrating.

Never thought this would happen to me as looks was almost the only thing that mattered (as much as I didn't want that to be the case), but it did.

After my first horribly failed marriage (and damaged kids due to wife being a complete failure), something clicked in my head and I finally find personality extremely important.

Not sure if it's an age thing or just a change after trauma, but it's been a very positive change.

Weight is still somewhat important at the extreme, but otherwise it's been a 180* shift - really fascinating.

I'm Diab Neiroukh. I'm a student who has taken a year out and is looking for work (part or full-time) during such; I'm also happy to continue on with any full-time work as part-time through into my studies [provided the hours are reasonable]. I study a joint major of Computing Science and Physics (as a BSc).

I've had at least three years of experience managing Linux servers, and once set up a Windows network for a local, private school. I know C#, JS, and Python [the latter more so] but am adaptable to other languages (see my work in C on Android/Linux kernels, and brief Java usage on other Android projects) and would be open to work as a Junior Developer/Software Engineer. I also maintain a fork of NGINX aiming to improve performance [and security] of the web server called Zestginx [1].

I've also dabbled in many different areas outside of the above (from audio signal processing to compilers and assembly to graphics design) a few of which are visible on my GitHub [2] and GitHub Gists [3]. This allows me to often give a unique view on topics using knowledge from other "departments".

> When I got my Tesla, it was immediately evident that _no one_ travels the speed limit. They travel 5-10mph over it on anything other then a local road. or they drive way under it.

It is amazing to me how angry and insane people driving on the roads can be.

I don't want to have a constant battle with every other driver on the road, I want to set cruise control, stay in my lane, and turn off on my exit when I need to. Doing this almost always triggers a tail-gaiting session and a driver becoming enraged at me ( I am not in the passing lane, for the record ).

99% of the pain in driving is other drivers deciding to just be assholes and not let me merge onto a highway for no apparent reason. Perception of "me in front me go fast" maybe?

Driving today, it is pathetic. We are all locked into our little cages and make each other miserable for no benefit.

I'm completely fed-up. There should be a system where I can send dash-cam footage for review and get a ticket mailed to their house. Don't defund the police: direct them at the asshole-fucking-drivers making everyone's life miserable while they play speed racer on the freeway.

Cash is still King. The more cash on hand, the easier it is for the business to survive in an economic downturn, and the more dividends and stock buybacks can happen for the investors.

Software engineers from a CFO perspective aren't any really different than plumbers or carpenters. It's just labor. Getting a cheaper rate on labor is far more beneficial to the company than say making sure it's employees are happy.

If the company could cut wages 50% across the board and then give the executives 20% raises for saving 50% in labor, they would do it in a heartbeat.

The transpiled code will use pointers, it will not transform C-isms that could map to Rust-isms (like borrowing instead of pointers, or iterators instead of pointer arithmetic). This is meant to be only the first step in a Rust refactor.

> “When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood in the back.”

As a professional programmer and amateur cabinet maker, this is a weird quote. I get the point of what he’s trying to say, but the truth is that all the most beautiful wood goes to the veneer mill to make very expensive, very nice plywood. Plywood is not MDF or particle board and there’s absolutely no reason not to use it for the back of a cabinet.

Getting motion sick with the original Vive is actually a little bit more common; there are some people who really don't respond well to lower framerates mixed with the screen door effect.

It's a bit of a generational shift, yeah, though personally I didn't have many issues beforehand. The Quest 2 can push up to 120 frames per second (90 by default), which seems to help a lot of people who got motion sick with earlier headsets.

I'd recommend giving VR another try, even if your IPD is above average, because if you're using an older headset it could just be that the framerate it's pushing is too low.

If you do try out a Quest 2, though, I would recommend replacing the default head strap, because it can cause motion sickness. It just pops off, so it's not a big deal to switch it out. A halo strap clone is the aftermarket thing to go for.

There are a lot of really great headsets to try these days if you don't want to go for a Quest 2, though! It's just that the Quest 2 is a very cheap entry set, so it's usually worth a try.

Yup, if someone picks up maintenance again then that can continue. But if that doesn't happen, we really need to stop mentioning/recommending it. I see it all over the damn internet, well after it became unmaintained.

> Does anyone actually know a real "5g causes corona" person? I've seen them at marches, that's about it.

The people that I know about will not express such a strong opinion. But they are not sure about what to believe, and people in their circle may share many conspiracies. So, they are not strong believers but may decide to not vaccinate as they "hear things about the vaccine".

> It is being used as a control mechanism

I think that you are missing the degree. One thing is to create a reminder that we are in a pandemic, another it's to think that a government in the shadow is using control mechanisms to brainwash the population so they can take over the country.

Both are "control mechanisms" if you want that interpretation. But, only the second one is referred in the news because it's a conspiracy theory. So, it fits with the 5G desease thinking.
> It isn't really fair to use doctors as and example since it is still a male-dominated profession, with over 60% being male

from the second link:
One of the steadiest movements has been the rise in women as a percentage of the physician workforce: It rose from 28.3% in 2007 to 36.3% last year, according to the AAMC’s Physician Specialty Data Reports from 2008 to 2020:

2007 — 28.3%
2010 — 30.4%
2013 — 32.6%
2015 — 34.0%
2017 — 35.2%
2019 — 36.3%

the above growth rates are not domination unless you're talking about women being dominant.

Maybe that nuance was originally intended, but look around and you will find plenty of claims that wearing dreadlocks, rapping or making sushi at home are examples of cultural appropriation, if done by the wrong person.

Actually, that’s a good gut check to test whether emancipatory movements have lost their plot: how often do their prescriptions hinge on identity.
Well, User Mode Linux would still require an underlying Linux ABI, for example mmap to implement pagination. With sufficient work it might be possible to actually run UM Linux _on top_ of CheerpX / WebVM.

Implementing the Linux ABI ourselves gives us the opportunity of a tighter integration with the Web platform anyway.

Your link says that infant mortality rate is slightly higher for boys. How is that supposed to help your argument?

> Moreover, you will see same numbers as for salary difference.

Is your argument that since there seem to be a correlation between mortality rate for boys and higher salary for men, that there is some kind of causation that make it good? You really have to expand on that if you want to make it comprehensible.

> Natural selection did not stop that, so it's beneficial for society somehow.

Here you reveal that you don't understand natural selection. Natural selection doesn't select for what is beneficial for society at all. Often what is good for the gene is bad for society, and the other way around.

Natural selection works on time scale much longer than the industrial revolution, and most factors are probably older than agriculture. It would be rather stupid to let what was useful behaviour 100k years ago control our lives today. We live in very different environments, in very different societies, and faces very different dangers.
Rolling stops, while all to common, are not at all like a Pittsburgh left. Police everywhere will pull you over for rolling through a stop sign. Police in Pittsburgh probably won’t, unless they have something against you personally.

I don't even know where to start with this. Do you really believe cats are somehow uniquely incapable of adaptation or learning?

House cats are, for whatever reason:

- very routine driven,
- very sensitive to food availability,
- get bored really easily.

This combination means that if you regularly disrupt those things you force the cat to constantly adapt. Most animals (including humans!) don't deal well with that.

Honestly I think most bad behavior for cats is that third point. People think because they're smaller than dogs they're ok with tiny uninteresting spaces but that's not really how they work. Especially if you have more than one, but if you do only have one then they're gonna get incredibly bored.

Anyways, in my house we have 4 cats and we managed to "train" them into more or less free feeding from all being pretty food insecure by just using rfid-controlled feeder bowls that only open for the right cat, so there's some anecdata for being able to change cat behaviour.

Engadget did a story around this a while back, apparently. It has less from Okuda, but some different details and other links and examples:

https://www.engadget.com/2015-12-04-casio-and-the-sleng-teng...

This is a very interesting story, and it's great to see Okuda acknowledged for her work and hear more details about that. Casio is a great example of a company that I just took completely for granted growing up and seemed completely opaque and impersonal to me. It's so cool to see the individuals that are behind all of those things. My brothers and I had an MT-40 when we were kids, I loved playing with it, and had no idea it had an impact like this.

I think that depends on the phd. In biology at least, a lot of the data types and questions seem specific and bespoke, but they are really not. Its often just tabular data you are working with, and you are generating the same models as any other data scientist generates to find significance in tabular data. The only difference is in interpreting the significance of the model output, but the tooling is often the same as in a lot of fields. This is why PhD computational biologists have no problems pivoting into all sorts of distally related industries from pure biology, to data science, to computer science, ad tech, or even management consulting.
