i hope you dont take this wrong way but ... what you are suggesting is if you cannot do it ""proplerly'" dont do it at all ... testing such a huge project as inkscape is a lot of work. perosnaly i do it a lot but sometimes you just cannot catch it all. "We" dont have receorses we have just developers that are sometimes work on stuff
Luckily, you don't have to trust the pharmaceutical companies any more. You just have to look at the outcomes of literally billions of people who have been vaccinated, and see how much better those outcomes are on average compared to unvaccinated people:

What’s a workaday hacker and what’s UB?
The two most hated candidates in history. The Republican Party fought tooth and nail to prevent Trump from being their candidate, but had accidentally reformed their primary process in negotiations with the Tea Party so much that their voters actually had the final say (the same thing happened under Milliband in the UK which later resulted in Corbyn winning Labour leadership.) The Democratic Party, by contrast, fought tooth and nail to attack every candidate except Clinton, despite how hated she was.

2016 was an own goal.
Yup. I bloomed a little late and had my social explosion throughout my 30s. But every year the next day after a late night out drinking hurt more and more. Aches start piling up, weight is harder to keep off, it feels easier to hurt myself, and slower to heal.

Keeping your health together and your body moving is one of the most important things.

But the rest of it is just in our heads. We can learn new things, meet new people, start new romantic relationships. But we have to want to do that, and put ourselves in positions where there are opportunities for those things to happen, and then take advantage of those opportunities.
Agree! Was so much better back in the day when they depended on manufacturing methamphetamine for funding. Build back better!
SnagIt is a powerful screenshot software. I use it to capture almost anything I see; like for interesting websites, articles, text, etc.. IMO, image is underrated for capturing information since with image a lot is captured that is usually lost in text such as formatting, style, etc..
Strange attractors saying "Hello!"
The only incentive to follow through is to appeal to your voters to get them to vote for you in the next election. But since most election districts are rigged via gerrymandering, representatives need only to appeal to a certain region's demographics.
>The code quality never was amazing, the code was rarely as fast it could/should be, rarely bug free etc

This describes just about every software project in existence. You are probably being too hard on yourself.

I just always keep in mind that yes, this thing I created is not perfect, but given enough time, I could do better. The question is simply whether it is good enough and whether that time should be spent elsewhere.
Can you not get paid for every KWH you deliver to the grid right now? My friend has a solar power setup at his house and he gets credits to his bill when he produces more than he consumes. That would be pretty simple to make into an ACH to his bank account.

It just seems to me that everything you can do with crypto you can do with the existing financial system. Maybe not 100% of crypto's features, but easily what a huge majority of people and institutions rely on and use today.
The AI technology today has practical value for some use cases but it's basically just clever parlor tricks. There has been near zero discernable progress toward artificial general intelligence. We don't yet have a computer that can learn and make optimal resource usage decisions in an open world environment as well as a mouse. In most respects we're not even at the insect level yet.
But "who judges the judges?", to paraphrase the ancient wise question.
Belt spanking is spanking. Paddle spanking is spanking.

It was literally never true that the word would refer to beating a kid by open hand only. The books that teach parents to spank also give advice to use instruments and call it spanking.

Old books that contain spanking use the word beating as synonyms. It started to be used as different word when people started to take issue with it more often.
The west was already settled. The "settlers" weren't interested in befriending or communicating with the indigenous population. In fact they were down right hostile towards them.
I thought this had been known for a while?
> You don’t feel the amount of new things you see slows down considerably as you grow older?

I don't feel that at all.

I've always felt there was a lot to know. I don't think I ever felt the "ego on the cusp of knowing everything" when I was younger, because I knew I hadn't studied most fields and that there was much more I didn't know about. But I did feel like I was getting that way within a few narrow technical fields.

But as I get older the awareness that there's so much still to see, learn and do in just about every area, including those where I'd become something of an expert, just grows and grows, and it is depressing.

As time passes I feel more and more the limited bandwidth of my capabilities, and that nothing I can do begins to scratch the surface of what there is. Some people seem to find a joy in learning. I enjoy it, indeed I can't help it, but I feel so small and my future life feels so short, it gets me down.

Most things I take an interest in, it feels like it will take 300 years to get to grips with them. If anything, I feel an almighty rush to see what tiny part of what there is I can see, be around, and even better, understand and work with, while it's still possible.

So much to see, so little time.
I started reading about the universe and everything in it sometime last year. I was in a shit place due to some stuff in our family, but I found it liberating as well, to think about how small we are in the scale of things or against the time scale of things. Besides it being a cool new hobby, it really sobered me up on what's important to me.
They do have power but that comes from voting and people need to be willing to vote and vote consistently.

If you are only willing to contact your elected officials using this bot and prior methods like letter writing and email were too much for you, then there is a decent chance that you are too lazy to take any other action.

Imagine if you had a manager who was only willing to tell you to work hard with a Slack bot. Messaging each employee individually would be too much work for them. Would you take that manager all that seriously?
You wouldn't expect a fecal transplant to help if the bacteria were entirely incidental though.
> it is really turning its customers into real-life crash dummies.

Not just the customers, anybody else unfortunate enough to share the road with them.

As a frequent pedestrian/bicyclist in my city, Teslas scare the shit out of me. Even worse, when Tesla drivers cause accidents, the response is typically complete shock and disbelief that FSD failed them. And an utter lack of responsibility for the damage and/or injury they caused. Because obviously they weren't driving, it was the car!
I think that people have pretty good BS detectors built in. If online communities start to get a funny smell they'll just double down on their small trusted in-person networks. We're already seeing this in smaller WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, Group Text communities. Anyone who thinks that a Twitter or Facebook thread is "real talk" is just fooling themselves. The promise of the internet to break down barriers has backfired and the social walls have just just gotten higher.
Printing out an exception stacktrace is generally awful in a non development context.

But hiding them and printing out "failed to run" is even worse.

I've seen people do that to have a "neat output".

Don't be that person.
If students can't be held back why do we even test them? Ofc, it is helpful to show them their knowledge, but I think that is quite early... Or to discover where to try to improve process, but I think fear of being held back and losing the group could be reasonable tool to get at least part of the students to learn.
So... you can imagine how gut bacteria affect mood after all?
They’re not amusing, they’re horrible. The fact that these stories are re-told just goes to show how traumatising they were as experiences for those involved.
Quite the contrary. Private schools spends even more on excess. Their business model is after all to make money, which they do, like any modern capitalist venture, with brand management.
>Such a military force would be facing a very well armed citizen-led guerilla response.

Unless enough citizens were on the side of the coup. I don't know why no one ever seems to acknowledge that as a possibility, especially after Jan. 6. Gun owners are just as driven by politics and ideology as anyone else.

Plus just because you have a gun in a safe and maybe sometimes shoot watermelons in the backyard with it doesn't mean you'll be effective in guerilla warfare against an actual military. I know Americans like to bring up Afghanistan and Vietnam as examples of guerilla warfare succeeding against the US, but fighters in both cases still went through training that would break the average American gun owner.
Anything commercially available?
That sets a cap on the salary. In the US southeast (last place I took a long look at the numbers, in NC and GA, but other states had similar numbers I just didn't study them closely), typically capping out with a bachelors at between $50-60k/year after 20-30 years. A masters degree often confers a $5-10k increase in salary, and a doctorate of education getting another $10k+ increase.

So, no, you don't really need a masters to be a teacher in the US. But you will be perpetually at the bottom of the pay scale if you don't get one, aren't in an in-demand subject area, or obtain some useful and in-demand specialist certificates.

GA: https://www.gadoe.org/Technology-Services/Data-Collections/D... (updated to 2021 PDF, fixed link again not sure how that got goofed before)

The T-# levels are certification levels, largely dependent on getting a graduate degree or specialists degree or certificate. Without those, you will stay at the lower tiers. School districts do offer pay above and beyond this, but unless you're in a wealthier district you won't get much past these numbers.
> When I was in the Python interpreter and entered “exit”, which doesn’t work because exit is not a keyword, I got a message that told me how to actually exit.

This was something that one of those "Zen of Ruby" style articles brought up as a negative and although I'm not a Ruby person, I tend to agree. exit is not a keyword, but it is reserved so that you can get this message. Nobody can (or at least should) name a symbol exit, and alternative Python interpreters just turn "exit" into exit(). So why can't the normal interpreter do what I meant instead of being pedantic? It is generally user friendly in other cases (the new error messages in 3.10, for instance).
>Nothing good has happened after central banking was established either. It's been one financial crisis after another.

The US financial crises--terrible as they are--are not even remotely comparable to the damage inflicted by a military coup. Putting these two things in the same category is a nonstarter.
Regulation of neurotransmitters by gut microbiota, effects on cognition (2021)
It's the opposite for me - ever since 2018, I watch the Olympics more than ever.

Remember that propaganda does run both ways, and the constant inflow of anti-Chinese sentiment in this year's presentation starts to get on my nerves. It's become so prominent that I start being willing to pay for a full-event streaming service with no commentators.
For people who want a good chair but don't want to spend that much, you can get a WorkPro 9000 or 12000 for under $500 new, and they're pretty close in term in comfort
What does it say about society that you can make $500K and feel like you haven't achieved much? A lot of the "work" people do probably isn't very helpful to most people, except maybe some rich person who owns (a part of) the company.
> They get amazing benefits, pensions with retirement in their mid-50’s

Those benefits are for those who stick it out as teachers. More and more, new teachers don't even last until their benefits start vesting at 3 years, let alone 20 years!
I wonder which gut bacteria make me crave cheap Mac and Cheese...
If you let your secondary issues interfere with the primary goal of your organization, then your support base is reduced to those who agree with you on those secondary issues as well, harming your ability to reach your primary goal.

That's why you should focus on what matters most to you, and remain silent/neutral on as much else as you can.
I've come across models being swapped out (where only a letter is difference but the panel changed) in the wild before, or misleading marketing. But since you can overcome that by doing research, its no longer a "lotto", like overclockability with CPUs or the possibility of getting dead-pixel on arrival.
European studies have already made studies around this[1]. J&J is simply trying to fight the same battle, again, in the US.

It took me a decade of work to realize that in corporate America you are almost always paid for being nice and helpful to your colleagues, rather than your individual contributions, no matter what level you are hired at. And this becomes more and more true as a company scales in number of employees (currently at a FAANG and couldn't be more true).

For me personally it was a major shift that occurred over a couple years transformation. Before:

- I used to be extremely dogmatic about my thinking, would get into "fights" over adopting the perfect technical solutions (i.e. API design, specific ways of writing a component, ...). I was insufferable at times.

- I would find, honestly, a bit of pleasure at explicitly shutting down other people ideas, always in a polite-but-clearly-condescending way, bonus if in public with senior leaders in the room.

- I would generally not help people, thinking that if I did my relevance as technical expert would diminish. Very territorial behavior. When directly asked a question, I would typically reply as ambiguously as possible.

I don't remember what caused it, but I did a 180 degrees shift at some point based on the mantra "I am paid for being nice" and:

- I am genuinely nice in meetings. I always cheer people up, and if I see a suboptimal idea, I never ever belittle the person who suggests it, and start asking very polite and respectful questions (almost always in a private conversation to avoid "public" grilling) until the other person naturally sees the point I was trying to make. If the other person is not receptive to the engagement, I drop it quickly. It is not the end of the world if a mistake will be made as a result of a suboptimal idea, and I could always be proved wrong.

- When a person asks me for some quick help, it is common for me to thoroughly answer and then also offer a full 1-2 hours meeting and explain them everything I know about that area, including potential insights about the future. I still have a tiny bit of “cockiness” from my old days, enough that people don’t abuse my very open attitude to help.

I had to change company to pull off this transformation, because my reputation as "extremely smart and extremely productive brilliant jerk" was too ingrained in my old one, but I am generally happier now. I think most coworkers would describe me as "Helpful and generally competent guy, easy to talk to". I like that.

I can see many "old me" coworkers around, it is truly sad to witness and I can't believe I used to be like that.
"So what does your evil RAM need to do in order to actually overwrite your good data with corrupt data during a scrub? Well, first it needs to flip some bits during the initial read of every block that it wants to corrupt. Then, on the second read of a copy of the block from parity or redundancy, it needs to not only flip bits, it needs to flip them in such a way that you get a hash collision. "

This is not true. If the 2nd read is good, the hash matches, and then the RAM flips bits before or during the write, it will corrupt data. The potentially good news is that this bad write could get caught on a subsequent scrub.

The bottom line is, without ECC RAM, I/O is not particularly trustworthy with any filesystem, including ZFS.
Low probability, but it happens each year and several times. Just in 2021 it happened 32 times. I bet that each time a mass shooting happens in a school it affects emotionally to all teachers in the country.

As teacher is normal to deal with problematic, or even very twisted children sometimes, but the feeling in Europe is very different. I can perfectly understand somebody that leaves after experiencing such traumatic events non-stop each ten days.

Traditionally: fencing

Now: golf and squash

I was a fencer for a long time. I've even competed on the national circuit in the past. Ever since the pandemic though, I've looked into other sports. So I've recently started lessons in golf and squash.

I spend most of my day in front of a computer, so any kind of social or athletic outlet is a must for my sanity.
trans rights are an issue which is extremely controversial for no reason. People on the left and right work themselves up for fringe-case scenarios like trans athletes or trans person using the restroom.

I know a few trans people and honestly, most trans people just want to be left alone. A trans person is literally just someone with a man’s brain in a women’s body or women’s brain in man’s body. Actual trans people understand that e.g. someone hooking up with you and not revealing they’re trans, or not accepting that you don’t date trans people, is extremely messed up. The people who don’t, them being trans is not the issue, there are psychos of all kinds.

I don’t see why people are so concerned with bathrooms because 1) actual men can illegally enter women’s bathrooms anyways, and 2) if someone is behaving creepy and sexual in a bathroom it doesn’t matter what gender they are. Like no sane person who clearly appears to be one gender is going to publicly enter the other gender’s bathroom and expose themselves, trans or not. I know most trans people do not like entering gender-specific bathrooms with others around anyways.

But people just get so worked up about these issues. Case in point: one environmentalist group explicitly advocates against trans people using their gender’s bathrooms, and the other group gets so offended it hinders their shared goal to help the environment.

Some remarks:

- Seems to be implemented in C++
- Looks like they reused bits and pieces from the Bitcoin code base (bech32, secp256k1, sha256)
- Claim of being able to handle 1.7M TPS
- Experimented with UTXO-style (Bitcoin-like) but seem to have bet on something called "unspent hashes" instead.
- I found very little on things that matter (policy-related):
- How is the "central authority" implemented
- How is the coin supply managed
A good ink jet for printing photos and greeting cards.

Previously I had bad experience with ink jet being the ink keep drying up, and laser is always better for black and white. However two use cases really make it worth to remember turn on ink jet and clean it regularly:
- print photo by yourself, like passport photo, photo needed by forms. You may still need to adjust color/brightness a little bit, but it's way better than CVS. I didn't realize you can print 4x6 with this kind of quality.
- print greeting cards. with quality paper it's looking very good.

I use Cannon MX 922, regular 4x6 photo paper. For greeting card I use 44lb Epson Premium Presentation Paper MATTE.

Mostly technical questions from me:

1. Re: Presto/Clickhouse: Have you looked at dsq, pola.rs, DuckDB, Apache DataFusion, Clickhouse Local? If so, what's your opinion on where the (data science) ecosystem is moving towards (for example, ibis-project.org taking over Presto/Trino).

2. Re: Bitmaps: What's the most compact way you know to store a bitmap-index in printable ASCII (b64 etc)? Puny code esque state machines are elegant (used in DNS), but is there anything else that's better?

3. Re: Unit economics/Opex: Are you a believer in the cost effectiveness (both eng and monetary) of the overall Serverless storage and compute movement?

4. Re: Russia: From the looks of it Russia (and Eastern Europe, in general) has fantastic yet untapped pool of talent, but then, how do you compete for talent with Yandex, Klarna, Spotify, UiPath, and others?

5. Re: py/go: Choose one? ;)

Thanks.
It does that! There are no GC pauses on HVM's model. Compiling Haskell to it would be neat.

I’m 32 and in a similar situation. I lost my mother and both brothers within last 6 months of last year and ended up questioning everything.

Even though I was in this moment of time where I was questioning everything I couldn’t actually move forward with any of the changes I wanted. The big mental changer for me was the gym. Not necessarily for health but because everyday I’m pushing myself to failure and also seeing improvement.

Even though I have hobbies like photography and being a drummer to be honest I would be frustrated at that type of failure and avoid it. Maybe the lack of feeling creative is too personal to face right now. Since the gym I feel like that’s improving and I am slowly reaching out to a social circle again and seeing new opportunity.

It has improved my mental clarity and personality too. I am lucky to have my girlfriend of nearly two years and I was preparing to propose before all this happened. I would question that too but I started to realise I didn’t want to be this person running from my problems in different countries again. I didn’t wait for the perfect time but did the best I could and that went well.

I suppose for me in the area of finding a partner was finding faith in myself again. At around 30 I was about the same and hadn’t been with anyone I could see marrying. I couldn’t seem to attract the type I saw myself settling with. I think that changed with the gym too and applying focus to my new interests at the time like photography.

After I stopped trying with my current fiancé, maybe a year and a half of our first meetup, she started to see who I am and what I could be because I was just applying myself to improve my own life. I think we all like to see that in each other no matter gender or preference. It can just be within your friendship circles after you grow out of drinking buddies.

I think you know it’s not your too old to go out a be that guy again but you don’t want too. Trust me I have old friends your age who are still acting like their 20 and reliving all the same mistakes. Right now you just need a physical parallel to what your mind needs to do. Fail early, learn and adapt, improve and grow
