the ask for no external dependencies means you need to do one of two things.

1. choose a language with a LOT of "batteries included" (you don't want to have to write HTTP connection protocol handling from scratch).
2. re-create (or copy in) a ton of external code, which is still really "external dependencies" you've just copied them in to your code so you don't have to worry about them disappearing.

Either way you'll be writing a boatload of stuff from scratch that already exists. Regardless of which option you've chosen "easy" is no longer on the table. You want easy, you use the code other people have written to simplify things. That's why Rails, and its clones dominate web-dev. They have already done all the hard bits so that what's left is the "easy" bits and the proprietary bits.

> Should be simple and resilient, can last for a long time.

define "a long time"

Are we talking decades? C+ is probably the way to go. There's a ton of it in just about every industry so it's guaranteed to keep being supported for decades. Alternately, choose a language that's existed for a long time and still seems to be going strong like Smalltalk. As a benefit, Smalltalk's got a LOT of "batteries included".

> The closest I can think of is a static site generator with some kind of self-hosted database but I'm not aware of any.

that's an external dependency and most all of them depend on packages / libraries so it's an external dependency with external dependencies.

also, having a self-hosted database defeats the point of a "static" site generator. If it's static you don't need a db, unless you're storing meta-data that helps you generate the static files. That's why you're not finding any.

I'm kind of sentimental for EF, as I think it can be a handy tool, but in my experience, ORMs of any kind are not suited to serious work, they usually assume that they own the database creation, which is fine when you are building a webshop, but obviously not, when you are interacting with a large existing database.

ORM-lites, such as Dapper, which only bind query results to objects, are an obvious exception thoug.
I think hearing about the pushback against cancel culture is important just to know it's not as one-sided as it appears in parts of the Twitter sphere. I find it reassuring quite frankly.
I think the biggest shift I have noticed in watching comparisons is not a particular single change, it is a paradigm shift.

There seems to be actual thought put into how space for moving people is, should be, and will be used. It doesn't begin with an assumption of building a road and then work from there. That change in planning assumption is enormous. I'm hoping the pandemic does something to shift the US culture of infrastructure building but I am not hopeful.
I'd assume that it doesn't, while passthrough exist on KVM, it still requires the actual drivers to be installed on the emulated OS and mobile handset drivers are usually proprietary blobs. The APIs could be translated to a generic driver that works on the OSs though, something like https://virgil3d.github.io/
Some people like to be useful in general.

Others enjoy their craft, do it for fun, and make it available to the public in a nice way.

Another reason could be that it also provides advertisement for the person providing the work.

The 'money for free' angle is very strange to me : a lot of things provide value, it's not a bad thing to provide something for free, even if companies can use it as well.

No, completely wrong. You're in a meeting. Collaborate. You are nothing but a huge detriment if you just voice your opinion, put your head down, and smugly say "told ya so" if they do it and it doesn't work. It is on the team collectively to solve problems together and you get 0 points for being right in retrospect.

I was a teenager in 2006 and still understood mobile devices with fast internet connectivity with photos, videos, mapping services, and video calls were going to be a big thing soon, as to a tech nerd like me it was already partially a reality. By that time I already had Google Maps on my phone, was uploading photos to web services through MMS gateways, was browsing the web with Opera Mini, had my email on my device, and streaming internet radio to Bluetooth wireless headphones. It seemed obvious to me that these devices would get faster over time and that the cameras would get better, as I had already seen the progress from the earlier 320x240 cameras to >1MP cameras on phones, mobile data speeds increasing from GPRS speeds to 3G, and WiFi both becoming more common and jumping from 11Mbps to 54Mbps within just a few years. I had seen the greyscale and slow Palm IIx device my dad used to carry turn into the color Blackberry with constant network connectivity happen within a few years, it seemed obvious these devices' functionality would continue to rapidly grow and move into all kinds of markets.

In 2006 I don't know that I would have thought Apple would have dominated the market as much as it has, but the iPhone hadn't been announced yet nor would it have 3G for another year after that. In 2007 I got my first phone with a front-facing VGA camera which could do video calls over 3G networks, before the iPhone had native apps or 3G.
Blaming black culture for the continuation of black struggles is incorrect because it reverses the causality. Assuming by "detrimental aspects of Black culture" you mean the usual conservative talking points of gangs, rap, drugs etc - these things are driven by poverty, not the other way around. Eastern Europe is home to many of these afflictions for reasons of poverty as well; same with "chav" culture in the UK - and both of these cultural groups are white.

The point of origin of these issues is the ghettoisation of black people by redlining combined with the relative lack of wealth caused by slavery and subsequent discrimination; when you're stuck areas of little economic opportunity, gangs, impulsivity, violence and drug addiction are inevitable regardless of who is the victim. You can't really bootstrap a healthy economy from within a poor one.

To prove my point, look at Detroit - when it was a hub of car manufacturing (ie, healthy industry) it was a hub of economic productivity. When all the jobs left it collapsed. It was a majority-black city at both of these points; poverty was the only difference.

Thus, the people in this cycle can be said to be oppressed by their circumstances (not, importantly, other people); the systemic approach would be to try to lift these people out of poverty through policy-based interventions in order to liberate them from their dire circumstances.

The catchphrase of critical theory is that the aim is "liberate human beings from the circumstances that enslave them". It is both coherent and a useful and pragmatic political approach to helping people get out of oppressive circumstances.
I have a very similar system.
I use Trello. I have one column called 1M, one called 3M, one called 6M (representing how often I want to reach out to them). Each card is one person and the cards have a field on them that is called: Last Contact.
Every week, or so, I have a look at the Trello board. I look at the top cards in each column and if it’s time to reach out, I do so, update the Last Contact field, and move that card to the bottom of that column.

Sometimes I add notes to the cards.

That’s it!

Edit; The reason I don’t have one big list, is that I’ve gotten a sense of how long each list can be for it to be manageable.
I don't know why they do it, EVs already transmit all sorts of data that makes spying so much easier.

Oh I agree that google is the ultimate open book!

Perhaps certain subjects are better suited to having broader questions. I still think it would be _possible_ to create CS questions that would not be helped by having access to a search engine.

As an analogy, it's a little like the difference between a unit test and an assembly (integration, etc) test. The unit test question is just a simple one like "When did this King die?" or "What is the area of this triangle?".

An assembly test is more like "What was the legacy of this King's reign?" or "What is the area of this shape that is the intersection of various other shapes?". I mean, Wolfram Alfa is only so powerful, right? Of course websites add features all the time, so it's always possible that the day the exam comes out they add a new "What is the area of this shape?" feature.
That seems like a really interesting approach. I experienced exactly what you describe taking the introductory physics for engineers class. I got something like a 27% on the final exam, leaving entire problems blank because I did not even know how to begin. I clearly did not understand the material and would have dropped the class early if I was getting poor grades. But that didn't happen; with the curve, I received an AB in the class (halfway between A and B). They sent me on my way and to this day, I really only understand the physics that we learned in high school.

1. s/eternal/age-old/ # replace "eternal" with "age-old"

2. s/form vs. substance/signified vs. signifier/ # I think signified-signifier[1] distinction is more specific and apt compared to form-substance distinction when it comes communication.

Additionally if you're interested and want to "read" more on "business plans", I would recommend checking MIT's "Nuts and Bolts of Business Plans" course[2], at least the first lecture[3, 4] if you aren't motivated enough to go through the whole course.

If you do run into trouble finding a job, you might have better luck in consulting or similar. My previous employer, employees are vetted by HR and (once your conviction would be raised) legal who would reject you for your record, but "independent security consultants" were vetted by the security team who were actually more understanding in that regard.
Dismissing something as "middle ages" with only emotional arguments such as "savagery" or "nonsense" isn't really making a point. If "customs" are causing societal decline, maybe we should rethink them.

One bit you are missing is that it's entirely possible that today is the cheapest the S&P 500 will ever be. What if your 50% crash only comes after the market has tripled?

Another is this: What if the market crashes 40% but then goes back up? Do you buy at 40% down? What about 30% then?

It's easy to say "well I'll just buy at the bottom" but you can't know when the bottom is until well after it's happened.

The other major piece of the puzzle is that during a 30-50% crash, everyone you know and all the media will be screaming in your ears about how everyone is losing all their money in stocks, and that the only reasonable thing to do is sell now so you don't lose it all. Do you have the stomach to put all your money into the market in those conditions?
Sounds like place he was at accepted him just fine until dumb bitch ratted him out for something that happened outside of work. Dude got a good run at least. Not lying about convictions sounds great from the pious ivory tower or from seasoned professionals who may have enough experience that others are able to look beyond their past.

Dude already did his time, in my book the conviction doesn't exist anymore. My honest advice for ex-crims is to find small shops that don't run BG check (yes these places do exist) and never mention their crimes. After a 3-5 years in industry your past will be far enough behind you can get into most small businesses positions you are qualified for.

Ok, at some point we’re the boy who cried wolf with shouting “Censorship!” at everything.

> Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship

“Suppress” is different from “restrict”. Suppression is “ to end or stop (something) by force” or “ to keep (something) secret : to not allow people to know about or see (something)”

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/suppress

Please, let’s use “censorship” as the word was intended: to mean the total restriction of content. That’s why it’s usually governments who do it. Private companies can typically only do it if they have the exclusive rights to something and refuse to publish it.

If someone is dropped from a platform, they’ve been de-platformed but by no definition of the word have they been censored.

In order for Spotify to actually “censor” Rogan they would have to not publish his content while also not allowing it to be distributed in any form, anywhere else, ever. Presumably either party could cancel the contract and then Rogan would have numerous other platforms to publish on. So in some sense Rogan is self-censoring at best if he continues to honor his Spotify contract.

Also, his podcast is only 1 medium. He could presumably still publish short form video/audio content outside of Spotify, or publish a book without their consent with any content of his choosing. Censorship by the definition of the word would mean banning content across all mediums, which Spotify does not have the authority to do.

In any event, if he really wants to share information with the public Spotify alone cannot censor him and prevent him from doing that. All they can do is restrict access to his podcast.

In this scenario, I think “restrict” or “inhibit” are more accurate and less provocative descriptions of what could happen.

I really dislike using Spotify for podcasts since I already have a proper podcast app (Podcast Addict), so some shows I like to follow that have gone spotify-exclusive just completely drop off my radar (e.g. Last Podcast on the Left). This is a great solution. Any chance you'd offer a docker image for easy deployment?
I mean, it's less civil than real-world dialog, but it's a lot more civil than virtually any place else on the Internet. But it's not that "I'm the audience that this site caters to":

1. my opinions (with respect to technology or politics) have remained the same but their popularity with this site has ebbed and flowed, but relative civility hasn't fluctuated much

2. I can disagree with and be disagreed with civily here, while on Twitter disagreement is almost invariably hostile (yes, you can curate to a small degree)

3. there are people who agree with me on Twitter and Reddit who arrive by the worst conclusions and who are hostile toward people with whom I disagree

I suspect many of the people who hate HN are those who can't disagree civily--who feel like opinions they dislike must be censored or censured.

This just doesn't make sense to me. If an opinion involves factual information it can be proven or disproven. Facts and opinions are not mutually exclusive.

An "opinion" that is clearly in opposition to a fact certainly has very little value, and I would consider it invalid. I'm not saying someone doesn't have the right to a useless, proven-wrong opinion, but the value of any of their words will be near-zero in my eyes.

Not all opinions are equal, not all opinions are valid or represent truth.

Some opinions may be purely subjective and not even involve any kind of truth or fact statement ("X tastes good") but those opinions have very little value overall. Not completely useless, but not far from it

I personally feel we're accelerating towards a future where little thought, time, effort, or trust is given to anything factual and opinion somehow is the holy grail (especially the tragic idea that all opinions are somehow on equal footing) and I think we'll be worse off for it
> Normally I'd totally agree with you and cringe at what feels like ridiculous over-engineering of what should be a natural and effortless process...

To some people (like myself) human interaction does not come that natural.[1] The “naturals” then scoff (or even cringe) at the deliberate steps we have to take, as if we should just curl up in the corner and whither away. (That’s what I’ve done but that’s besides the point.)

In my opinion, almost every complaint I could possibly have about .NET would not exist if it weren't for windows.

Windows ruins everything.
A big part of exams for math majors is proving stuff, not applying formulae. Wolfram|Alpha won't be able to help you there.

(That said, there's stuff like proofwiki or math.stackexchange, so unless you really spend time on crafting a novel problem, a student that is good at "researching" might be able to find a solution to a similar problem or to a substep of the proof, etc.)
By 3D Sonic I really mean 3D movement with Mega Drive Sonic-style level design.

Sonic R is 3D rendered but it's a racing game.

Sonic Jam's 3D level is just a level select, not a full game.

Sonic 3D Blast is isometric which isn't really it either.

Sonic Adventure has lots of different gameplay styles for the different characters, none of which fits classic Sonic (Sonic's levels are too on-rails)

Sonic Generations is extremely on-rails, while the classic Sonic levels are classic Sonic in how they play, but including being 2D gameplay :)

Sonic Robo Blast 2 is the first game I've seen that: 1) has full 3D movement and 2) classic Sonic exploratory level design.

This article does a decent job of summarizing some of the issues that face the mentally ill and pointing out that psychiatry without strong community support is almost useless.

However, it's really just a subtle ad for a book, which probably just reiterates the same points in greater detail via lots of anecdotal data and case histories, points the finger at the government for not spending more money on programs designed to support the mentally ill within their communities, and doesn't provide any further concrete solutions.

Hasn't this same book been written over and over again?
