1. Force may be used on all homeless, regardless of incontinence, verbiage or nudity.

2. Hubris. Don't underestimate how quickly things can change. All might be fine today, but look around... stability can be illusion. The probability of hard times seems to be rising for most.

3. Don't accept hasty final solutions, especially those easily abused. Have tolerance until a solution worthy of human dignity is devised. Forced medication isn't nice, especially when it's inappropriate.

4. Evil is another adversary of good. Sweeping humans under the social carpet and forcefully caging or drugging them against consent won't ever be good and certainly not perfect.

But I will agree that infants shouldn't be doing such things, even if they could.
>The industry is really hot right now, and I can make great money if I just get a full-time job.

>Should I just give up (grow up?) and get a job? Is it worth pressing on here? I'm not consuming my savings, but neither am I making financial progress, and I'm not getting any younger

Get a job Now!

The whole startup/do-your-own-thing and "conquer the world" is mostly hype. The success stories you hear about are outliers and not the norm. So you need to cover your bases by getting a job and providing for your family first. You can go very far with a "normal" career in a "normal" company. You also say that you have been trying for the last 20 yrs and things did not pan out. This hints of deeper problems which you need to analyze but from a safe place i.e. not starving and having a steady income as a safety net.

Right, but I think there might be a bit of, "if innovation happens in a forest and no one is around to hear it..." kinda thing going on.
I can't be bothered to look it up but Ukraine has spent a lot of time and money refurbishing their army after the 2014 crisis (where their army performed poorly against the separatists and Russians).

It's not "modern", but it is functional.

I know that this is false because functional languages have existed for decades and still occupy a vast underproportion of IT projects despite being superior in the vast majority of use-cases. Also, argumentum ad populum.

Keychron send non-standard scan codes, either Windows or Apple. I couldn’t successfully get it to work with Linux. IMHO look elsewhere if you’re planning to use keychron keyboards with Linux.

Also the brown keys of the K3 had production issues and in my case more than 10 of them broke, more than the number of spare keys delivered. Reportedly efforts to have Keychron ship replacement keys under warranty have failed.
Also, I'm no military expert but aren't both Afghanistan and Vietnam particularly challenging locations in which to conduct large-form warfare over a protracted period of time?

I don't see how it's a fallacy in this case; this is definitional in the construction of meritocratic admissions: the people admitted have more merit than the ones that are not. OP phrased it as a matter of effort, and I was just making explicit what he left implicit.
Oh my god! I had the same experience in the late 2010s as a tiny little emo girl. The absolute shock in CS group projects with a bunch of guys who were upset that they “got put with the girl” when I had the whole thing done in an hour was chefs kiss.

In one of the "Russian Roulette" episode when the Ukrainian army circle and bomb some city in Dombas, the journalist notice a swastika pendant on one of the soldier and ask if he is not afraid of being misrepresented as a fascist, before moving on.
Double standards at its best.
At least the unions I've been around, managers were the ones the unions were there to keep in check. It would have been very undermining to the union if the managers were part of it.
> Restore the glory of the Russian empire

Right now Zelinskyy and Ukraine are covering themselves in a lot more glory than Putin and Russia.

> Righteous causes eventually sort themselves out, right?

I think Putin psyched himself up into believing his own propaganda. He's probably surrounded by yes-men who tell him what he wants to hear, too. Oops.

> Much of the discussion is presently framed as a moral imperative. We must act to punish Putin.

Sure. Morality is intuitive game theory, after all.
Is this how Elon makes feature requests to the Engineering team? It make me appreciate Jira a LOT more.
Thoughts on Software-Defined Silicon
Honest question: why? Engineers are already compensated way, way above average and have loads of mobility opportunities. I actually work in a news org where most of the non-tech people are in one union or another but my team isn't. We have actually had a few union staff who wanted to do coding work and the union essentially blocked them.
> Plus a lot of it is about the MS Teams which has no software support for noise isolation or cancelling

My company uses WebEx, which in 2020 had no background noise elimination, but now days it does it quite well.

I can be in a room with another person talking, loudly, and it won't come through on my mic. But I also have a nice Bose headset.

My wife's headset with a dedicated boom mic also works really well in this regard.

FWIW unless I am talking, I mute myself, and all of my colleagues do the same.
I had issues travelling a few years ago, nothing serious just lots of back-to-back secondary screening. I contacted DHS and was notified weeks later my case had been reviewed. They never explained what happened but the screenings stopped.
A better article is here: https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-a3092d8e476949...

Aside from the obvious "knocking the power plant out to cripple the city" argument there are probably better ways to do this than blowing it up. For example, controlling the area and literally turning it off. It seems wild, even by Russian doctrine, to do such a thing.

On the other hand, the Ukranian military has every reason to "salt the earth" with a potentially critical reactor in order to do as much damage to a Russian occupation as possible. Are the Ukranians this crazy? Well, to do this they wouldn't have to be much more crazy than Russians shelling it.

Something doesn't smell right here. In the article there is this quote:

> In an emotional speech in the middle of the night, Zelenskyy said he feared an explosion that would be “the end for everyone. The end for Europe. The evacuation of Europe.” “Only urgent action by Europe can stop the Russian troops,” he said. “Do not allow the death of Europe from a catastrophe at a nuclear power station.”

The undertone of this seems more threatening than fearful. Especially given Zelensky's overall response to NATOs lack of response. Additionally, Zelensky isn't much less corrupt than putin (https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/freedom-i...).

I do not intend to sound like a Russian apologist here but rather be the devil's advocate. This doesn't make sense inside either country's war doctrine. It seems more like it's being used as propaganda by one side or the other. Very suspicious indeed. I don't think Russian conscripts are stupid enough to blow a reactor to turn it off. I also don't think Ukraine is stupid enough to use this to salt the earth. Yet, I find the official story fairly hard to believe.
The company can hire you. Your unionized coworkers can decline to work with you, or for the company, if they do so. Would you deny them that right?
I mean… Trump was lying about how many electoral votes he got. It was easily verifiable. Also such a stupid lie because he did have enough electoral votes to win the election anyway. But still! He fabricated that number. He was also truly in pathological liar territory.
I have seen this a couple of times. The only reason you wouldn't do an equal split is:

(a) if they have substantially more experience or have a more valuable skillset. For example, prior to this role they could command a salary that was twice what you could make in the market.

(b) they have substantial traction already. Revenue, customers, funding, team momentum, etc.

Neither of these seem to be true. "I came up with the idea" is not enough to warrant a difference in equity.

Honestly, the fact that they didn't offer you co-founder and equal equity is the first flag. Working with his brother is the second flag.
> than letting one NPP go critical.

Just nitpicking, but AFAIK nuclear power plants already "go critical" whenever they're operating (according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticality_(status) "Criticality is the normal operating condition of a nuclear reactor, in which nuclear fuel sustains a fission chain reaction.")
http://book.adama-platform.com/tour.html - The architecture diagram is broken =(
Which potentially makes their knowledge, in this specific case, greater than ours.
Similar to Montessori schools being "obviously more successful", I think it's still very much up for debate whether functional languages are "superior in the vast majority of use-cases".
Humanity has weapons capable of killing hundreds of thousands of people at a time. Nation-states deliberately using a power plant to kill "mere" thousands seems pretty low on the fear list.
There is no 'winning' a nuclear war, once it starts everyone loses. Retaliation from either side will be immediate because no one knows what will be left once the other sides nukes land. The submarines are not going to be asked to wait and see if enemy nukes make it.
There aren’t really any forces to incentivize public education to adopt the most effective teaching methods. If anything it might be the opposite: https://www.apmreports.org/episode/2019/08/22/whats-wrong-ho...
Surprisingly enough, I'm a clojure developer and I really do like the hiccup syntax in Reagent. I haven't had the courage to use it in anything professional yet though.

EDIT: To answer your question, I actually think that JSX is a downside to React. I get that it was needed to convince the web crowd to adopt the library, but we need to stop pretending like we're writing HTML. We're not. The framework will take our JSX and do whatever it wants to it. I wish we just treated the DOM like a compilation target. That's actually what I like about Flutter - it treats the view as a render target and not as a document that you write to. Flutter web actually uses the canvas API to draw actually. And because of this, you can define your View model in a much more sane way (while still being fast). E.g. Flutter's Layouts make much more sense than HTML and flexbox/grid. They managed to separate the layout from elements. https://docs.flutter.dev/development/ui/layout
Money, dear boy. They gain a lot more from keeping the big media companies onside than they do by pissing off a handful of creators (who are frankly a commodity to them).
Did I miss something today? Did NATO deploy troops into Russia or Ukraine?
The business has customers and pays me a salary. The union is simply a parasite, extracting value from the organization.

Objectively, if you voluntarily join a union shop, there's nothing wrong with that. I would never do it, but it's at least a free market transaction.

But it's unconscionable that a union might show up at my work and demand I start paying them for the "benefit" of negotiating on my behalf. I would instantly quit. Thankfully the Alphabet union is a tiny farce.
Personally, I would never trust the drive to implement secure erase in a secure manner.
Perhaps grandparent meant that some level of sanity check is implied; and that these people would e.g. ignore a drunken order to fire a nuke at a non working McDonalds ice cream machine.
Does anyone know what "Mutex lock/unlock" is actually measuring?

In Linux at least, a mutex is a plain old struct living in main memory that you "lock" and "unlock" by cmpxchg'ing some fields. It's literally a main memory write, I don't understand how it could have a quarter of the latency of main memory.
Invoking the modern equivalent (and direct descendant) of war measure laws over a protest is totally unprecedented in the recent history of the western world . Maybe the comparison to hitler were extreme but that's because the laws invoked were also extreme ;). Whether you agree with the government or not I think it's reasonable/normal that you'd see a very strong opposition to Trudeau without any foreign interference.

Sadly I think I agree with the last part of your comment. It's actually why I really dislike the "russian bots are everywhere" narrative, because it distracts or obscures from the real problems we actually have. I think it's a cop out to blame foreign interference for very real tensions and disagreements we have in our society. My point wasn't to attempt a take down or to win an argument, it was mostly to drive home the point that it's all maybe deeper than just russian trolls after all ;)
Montessori (public school even) until 6th grade, and this mirrors my experience exactly.
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. Why the emphasis on having 2 children instead of 1?
No. Some union agreements specifically forbid the company from hiring non-union employees. That's what makes it a closed shop.

"Right to work" states have it right here. A union should never forbid you from voluntarily transacting directly with an employer. If they do, they're just a protection racket.
> I've seen people playing video games during work hours for example.

My team used to play street fighter or super smash bros during lunch.

However, a decrease in output is a separate issue that needs to be addressed by the employee's manager/leader.

> I've never eaten more takeout in my life than during past 2 years. At the office I had access to healthy "home style" cooking with variety of diet. Now I have access to pizza, poor quality Chinese, and decent Indian food. Of course I could cook for myself, but I don't like cooking and I don't want to spend the time.

My company's office is close to only a couple worthwhile restaurants (WTF Downtown Seattle, if you aren't next to cap hill you are boned). While at home, I have multiple good options within walking distance to me.

Check if you are within shef.com's service area. Home made meals from local cooks. Great stuff.

> I'd argue my Quality of Life has gotten significantly worse especially since they closed gyms.

Once they reopen, WfH means the time saved on commuting can be turned into gym time!

Prior to WfH I had to bring workout clothes and a towel with me if I wanted to hit the gym before lunch. Because my commute was on a bus, that was crammed full standing room only shoulder to shoulder, adding a gym bag in the mix was no fun.
The problem is using the process of threatening legal action to suppress speech. This is the very problem that anti-SLAPP statutes are designed to protect against; if they're ineffective in this case, they should be amended to explicitly cover DMCA notices in a way that dissuades using them to suppress speech.

For what it's worth, using a brief clip of an emulated Switch game seems to me to clearly fall under Fair Use. It's transformative and does not substitute for the original work, often non-profit and/or educational, is a small portion of the copyrighted work, and fails to displace any sales.
That is even more horrible what I thought. Automatically generate schemas 1:1 and then expose it. Let me guess tons of information leakage, ddos attacks and queries not hitting indexes. This is absolutely the worst idea I come across in web development. Horror.
Fact and Mythmaking Blend in Ukraine’s Information War
That's one of the biggest concern of this war. Ukraine is outnumbered and outgunned, and that's with Russia avoiding critical infrastructure and not leveling cities to the ground. For all practical purposes they're on their own.

A nuclear incident is pretty much their only (unlikely) hope to get some kind of foreign or NATO involvement.
I used to write fairly early Windows apps that would use a protected mode main body (using an extender) with a Windows UI.

In some places gifted programs are put at the distressed schools under the theory that it will improve the situation for the other students at the school, ... or at least under the fact that it will improve the schools average test scores.

For low income workers less taxes won't really help. They already get very low taxes (sometimes none) and a low percentage of a low salary is not a significant impact. If we change that from low percentage to very low percentage the impact wont really change.

So low income workers won't be able to choose to work less hours.
> If Montessori kids really were obviously more successful public education would change.

By the same logic gifted and talented education should be expanding, not contracting, and they should be doing much more acceleration and less enrichment, since we know those work. That’s not happening because education is a small part of the purpose of the school system.

This is a great service. I recently had to test a specific bug on iOS 11. Instead of figuring out how to download the simulator, or buy an old device, I simply created a virtual device, connected to the VPN, and built straight to the device from xcode. Like magic.

It's slow and missing some features but it's still amazing.

From the point of view of the institution, a consistent approach is usually preferable. In general it’s not a given that it’s a desirable goal. Depending on your ideological and political stances.
It's a ritual, a ceremony. Being arbitrary, expending effort on something quixotic, is part of its effectiveness.

Both my kids went to montessori-style preschools. If I had to attribute development of curiosity and creativity to something, I'd attribute it almost entirely to inherent personality rather than education: my two kids could not be more different from one another; one kid is passive and absent-minded and likes to immerse in fantasy worlds, and the other is an go-getter information sponge that likes to act grown up.

They're in regular primary school now and adapted just fine.
No offense but this is pretty far fetched.

First of all, if Putin wanted to level Kiev he could do it with conventional bombs and artillery. Nuclear weapons are not needed.

But second of all, *why* would he want to flatten Kiev? Why don’t you read his goals in his own words? https://web.archive.org/web/20220224024154/http://en.kremlin...

He says he sees Russians and Ukrainians as one people and wants to unify them. No, I’m not defending him, I oppose war in all circumstances.

But it’s important to understand that he’s not some evil maniac out of a comic book that wants to kill everybody, he has actual goals.
Ok, so the union has negotiated a contract with the company, and as a part of this negotiation the company has agreed to specific terms of employment. Should they be prohibited from engaging in those negotiations, or agreeing to those terms?

In my view three things:

1. NATO Article 5 invocation, i.e. an armed attack on a NATO nation

2. or a disaster so terrible that the security of Europe requires that NATO enter the war i.e. a nuclear reactor meltdown<

3. a NATO ally such as Poland deciding to enter the war on Ukraine's side.

An NATO Article 5 invocation is the most likely. Russia is taking heavily loses due to NATO arms shipments to Ukraine. To reduce these arms shipments Russia must either bomb the shipments near the border or control the border. Both of these could result in an accidental attack on Poland. Russian bombers often have difficulty navigating and use unguided bombs. If they stray into Polish airspace they make be shot down. If Poland decides that war with Russia will happen sooner or later, they make choose to enter the war on Ukraine's side sooner when Russia is least prepared.
Huh? If there’s no union you’re forced to accept whatever contract the company boss decides upon. At least in the union situation you’ve had an advocate in negotiating the contract. In either situation if you don’t like the end result you can just quit.
