"which is about keeping out of other people’s stuff without consent. If we can’t agree on the basic morality of that"

That's not what's being discussed. I think we agree that violation of one's private things/data or trespass is wrong. Where the contention lies is in what circumstances the person can expect to have that privacy and what the definitions are/should be to maximize societal benefit when it comes to internet usage.

"and whether people should be punished when they intentionally don’t, then I guess there’s no place to go."

Intentional access isn't even at issue here. "Knowing" access is all it takes under the law. I put knowing in quotes here because a prosecutor can prove that simply by your violation of the implicit agreement to ToS, even if you never read or knew them.

So the issue isn't that people who knowingly or intentionally violate privacy/trespass need to be punished, it's in identifying when a violation has actually occurred, equally enforcing it, and whether the law is appropriately crafted to protect everyone and provide societal benefit. The way it is crafted now is not well defined, is not equally enforced, and can be used against people who have no ill intent or even knowledge that something was wrong.

So not about punishing people who should be punished, but about the ability to punish those who shouldn't, as well as how to define them. So yeah, we can't agree on this topic, but your strawman argument of why is not the reason.

Russia has been pushing far right, and attempt to disrupt politics in my country for years.

They have gotten Schroder on their payroll so he would sabotage german and Europe energy.

Now, they have been threatening western Europe with nukes.

Yes, we are clearly at war with Russia.
Consider donating to Da Silva's campaign (if that is possible). If he wins, there's some chance of reversing Bolsonaro's recent neglect. He's by no means perfect, but he's certainly better on the environment (and forest policy) than the right.

Portugal decriminalized all drugs in 2000 and saw a huge reduction in harm associated with drug use, and did not see an increase in usage. They went from among the worst in the EU in terms of HIV infections to among the lowest. [1]

Definitely too early in some respects - the LED boards were huge and clunky, advertisers weren't really interested despite the advantages (for a London bus, apparently, it took ~2 days out of service to replace vinyl adverts which is why you frequently see them with 6m+ outdated adverts), some questionable decisions were made re: software, etc.
Oh very nice, Poland is building a missiles base 100 miles from Moscow sending war planes to an active combat zone will for sure help de-escalate.
Energy efficiency != green footprint. Gas is amazingly efficient, near 100%, certainly as good as a heat pump on 100% carbon neutral energy. However the green footprint it awful compared to an electric heatpump.
It isn't fake. US and other western nations are extremely close Ukrainians, and Ukrainians are very close to other European nations like Poland. Since, many Ukrainians, Poles, Germans, Czech, Lithuanians, Slovakians live in the US. They protest and spread the word. Plus, there are protests in individual countries.

There always will be some issues in the society, but what is happening in Ukraine is giving people WW2 vibes and Poles can relate.

It is a matter of time until Russia will crumble though.

How many different area codes did those dozen delivery restaurants and taxi companies have? How many different exchanges? Was each one a unique area code, each a unique exchange? If not, then you're not really remembering unique 10 digit numbers. There's going to be a lot of repeated numbers in there.
Is this a joke? Putin is wildly popular because he 'stands up to the west' and had presided over economic prosperity.

He got away with blowing up four apartment buildings, with plain-as-day evidence showing the bombings were conducted by the FSB. The population didn't care. They didn't care when he went around assassinating people outside the country. Didn't care when he invaded Crimea. Chicken in the pot, car in the driveway.

There wasn't any "anti-war" sentiment until the sanctions started kicking in.

I just lost my job to someone from eastern europe so for engineers certainly we are seeing the return of outsourcing and insourcing with a vengeance. My work is always so temporary I can no longer pay rent or do any savings, sometimes I have had to go 3 weeks at a time without a meal. I have been a web developer since 1995 and with each recession I am pushed ever harder towards straight up starvation.
I'm waiting for counters from two other companies this week, going to counter in the next few days. My technical chops are decent, but I think leveraging these skills as a TPM or PM, eventually potentially shifting into larger orgs will maybe be a better path to higher comp and fulfillment than being a pure developer? The strategy side of things feels very different, but the interview process seems much more sane and less broken?

CBT is nearly the opposite of venting. Venting is just pouring out raw emotion, no confrontation.

Venting is "John is an asshole who couldn't find his way out of a wet paper bag. I hope that fucker's entire dick just falls off. He doesn't deserve jack shit."

CBT is more measured. You acknowledge the feeling, but you separate yourself from it. "Yes, I'm mad. I'm mad because of THING. THING upsets me because I believe it should be like THIS. My options are THESE."

Venting is letting your emotions drive your actions. CBT is letting your reason temper your emotion. You control your actions in spite of your emotions.
It's definitely a markup language (similar to XML), not a programming language. Much more similar to Markdown than it is to C++.
for this specific example, I think the shared library is not the correct approach. Queues work for simple fifo behavior, but in this case they also need fairness (and perhaps other logic, like rate limiting per client, different priority for certain clients etc)

For example, "Customer-A is clogging up the work queue and starving other customers out". The solution to this could look something like linux's completely fair scheduler, where every client is allocated some amount of messages per interval of time. This means messages need to be processed in a different order then they are enqueued, and queues are not good at reordering messages.

I would suggest implementing the queue abstraction as a rest or grpc service, backed by a database like postgres, which holds message payloads and everything related to message state (in progress, retry after times, etc). Now we can implement all the necessary scheduling logic within our queue service.
I’m pretty sure you’re right. Nowadays I tend to be fairly modal: if I’m “in my head” then social contact is bizarre and disruptive and I can’t come off like a human being. If I’m in the other mode, social contact is easy but I’m probably not doing deep work. As a younger engineer, I was locked in my head and all social experiences were difficult.
Mailing lists suffer from other kinds of spam... Actual email spam, poor moderation tools, etc.
Nice, interesting article.

But I would stress less that "Seeing Like a State" -- that is a top-down, global solution -- was not the problem.

The problem was that "Tim" didn't really understand the problem he was trying to solve (well, none of us truly understand very much at all, but he didn't understand it better than many of the teams associated with the individual services).

"Tim"'s proposal probably solved some problems but created various other problems.

The best solution, though, (IMO) isn't that Tim should be smarted and better informed than everyone else combined, nor that every team should continue to create an independent solution. Instead "Tim" could propose a solution, and the 100 micro service teams would be tasked with responding constructively. Iterations would ensue. You still really, really need "Tim", though, because multiple teams, even sincere and proficient ones, will not arrive at a coherent solution without leadership/direction.

> A global solution, by necessity, has to ignore local conditions.

That's just flat wrong. A global solution can solve global concerns and also allow for local conditions.
They already claim that ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_foreign_agent_law ), the opposition is already not allowed to participate in the elections and obviously cannot win them when they are not even allowed to run and the main opposition leaders are already in prison (Navalny) or killed (Nemtsov).

Do you guys really have zero idea what country Russia is? Russians have been protesting since 2011 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011%E2%80%932013_Russian_prot... ) and been methodically and systematically repressed for over a decade already.
One of a few studies I've read followed people and found that people who engage in catharsis do it more often and have lower tolerances to irritants.

One of the earlier studies just had people's anger tracked(anger has a very clear physiological response). So no need to have it self reported.
lack of natural barriers, the Ukraine, Belarus lands are flat which means very little places to hide for the insurgency.

in Afghanistan the Taliban could hide out in network of caves and there is just no flatten mountains, the Vietcongs could utilize underground networks and dense forests to operate.

One hope for Ukraine is urban warfare, Putin launched two miserable wars against Chechnya and they were decimated from insurgents hiding out in various apartment buildings, it is likely what is stalling the advance in Kyiv.
Thank you for the additional context.

I don't believe a keynote speech has to be delivered by the founder of the language or framework. The founder can still deliver their speech elsewhere in the schedule.

When the Crystal programming language Conference was held in 2021, the organisers asked the Ruby creator ("Matz") to give the keynote speech. I thought that was a lovely gesture from the conference organisers.

Having a different keynote speech (not from the founder) might give the audience an unusual, suprising and even inspirational presentation.

Two made-up examples:

1. Keynote speech: Ruby on Rails: From zero to hero?

Lynsey, a cafe worker, lost her job during the pandemic. During lockdown, she began to learn RoR with no idea where it might lead her. She had never programmed before and found the process complex and maddeningly frustrating - punctured with occasional moments of joy. What did Lynsey learn as a beginner to RoR? And what happened next for Lynsey?

2. Keynote speech from our founder [insert name]

A look back to our successes and progress over the past year. And a look forward to the future.

The imprecision's of some journalist's pale, comparing to the irresponsible behaviours that endager the security of others. Can you imagine any European country doing actions like:

"Tactics typically deployed by Russian pilots include a practice of deliberately failing to report flight plans, ignoring civilian air traffic controllers and switching off their on-board transponders that NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg refers to as "flying dark" an approach which he said was inherently unsafe and poses a serious risk to civilian air traffic."

CppCon's Failure to Protect the Community
What the naysayers are missing is the definition of load; read it again: "[C]apacity is the number of tasks per unit time that can be processed."

But tasks are variable. One task requires 5 minutes of processing, another one of 35. They arrive randomly. This is also explicitly given, in a caption under one of the diagrams. "A queueing system with a single queue and a single processor. Tasks (yellow circles) arrive at random intervals and take different amounts of time to process."

People calling the article wrong may be thinking of capacity as "unit time amount of work"; like when the processor is at full capacity, it's doing one second's worth of work every second.

If we define capacity this way, the problem goes away: the processor just becomes a leaky bucket. So that is to say, if we know exactly how long each task will take, then we can measure the queue size in terms of total number of seconds of work in the queue. And so then, as long as no more than one second's worth of work is being added to the queue per second, it will not grow without bound, just like a leaky bucket that is not being refilled faster than its leak rate.

When capacity is given as a maximum number of tasks per second, there has to be some underlying justification for that, like there is some fixed part to servicing a job such as set up time and clean up time that doesn't go away even if the job takes next to zero seconds, such that jobs effectively have a built-in minimum duration. If it takes one second to set up a job, and one second to clean up, then the maximum capacity is half a job per second: 1800 jobs per hour and so on. Of course the queue starts to backlog when you approach capacity, because the jobs also require nonzero real work in relation to the administrative time.

If jobs have no minimum fixed cost attached, then the maximum job rate is unbounded: the shorter the jobs being queued, the more of them can be done per unit time: one million one-microsecond jobs can be done in a second, or a billion one-nanosecond jobs, and so on.
This story seems... slanted.
I don't say anything of that sort. Nokia made the best cellphones in the world and was never surpassed - it's just that people stopped using cellphones.

In fact, my argument is that Steve Jobs never competed with Nokia. In 2007, Steve Jobs introduced a new type of device that no one else was making. Sure, they had some functionality overlap with some devices but it was completely new thing and everyone rushed to abandone whatever they are doing and started competing with Apple a few years later.
I would imagine most of those fresh vegetables have been domesticated/bred to increase sugars.
To piggyback, until psychology has a repeatable theoretical model; it's hard to take conclusions like this seriously. It needs to become married with neurology. ie We need to see this happening from a biological perspective. A small sample of surveys is not good enough to form strong conclusions. Otherwise, the results and conclusions feel arbitrary.

I rarely put salt in my rice, but sometimes when i make it in the pressure cooker (instant pot) Ill add butter, garlic and salt in small amounts to the rice.

Sometimes ill cook the rice in broth rather than water as well.

When I do add salt though, i use really coarse Himalayan rock salt (also note, this salt does not have iodine, FYI.

I get the general sentiment but wouldn't it make more sense to send letters to random people? Maybe even disguise it as a travel ad where the images of iconic places are replaced with their current state.

I think it's important to get past the initial barrier against believing what is happening and you can only do that by being sneaky.

Once you realize that someone is trying to convince you of something that goes against your core belief it's very likely you shut that information down but anything that got already past that barrier will slowly take root and grow.
Pay off debts (and don't get more). Too many people say 'take out loans, and buy investments with the savings!' They don't understand that debt is risk, and recessions are a big reason why.

> Life only has meaning when viewed through the collective...

This may be true for ants. But I've never seen how this can be an absolute truth for humans for two reasons:

1. If one life is truly meaningless (0), how does multiplying it produce meaning (0 * 8 billion = 0)?

2. If you found yourself to be the last person on the planet, would you A) realize you have no meaning and die, B) create art and put a little more beauty into the universe? Given those choices, does option A or B have more inherent "meaning"?
I've never heard of on-call benefits as a full-time employee. It's always just part of the role.
Fair points. The ussr in particular was notoriously terrible on environmental issues.

I think what I would advocate is a third type of system that isn’t capitalism or heavy handed state communism- but as you point out the same criticisms I made of really existing capitalism can be applied to other systems as well.

I wish I had a simple, concise answer to what we ought to do.
Their country is killing thousands of innocent men, women, children, grandparents, babies etc. The West needs to prioritize on worrying about whats best for Ukraine, and saving their lives. Have more sympathy for them. Once Russia lays down arms and skidaddles back across their border perhaps we start feeling sympathy for the invaders then.

What Russians need to do now is pick sides. Take a stand against Putin, or, leave Russia. Stay home & keep quiet? They Own him. His deeds. His mass murders.

Zero sympathy for evil.
Venting totally CAN work in customer support situations. You let someone pour out confusing and undirected anger/fear/frustration and then you get to work solving the underlying problem or pain point.

That sucks but I wouldn't beat myself up over a diagnosis over something like that. It's largely genetic.

My dad is a Vietnam vet in his 70s who drinks, smokes, and has way too much coffee. And he's fought 2 tours in Vietnam, 3 bouts of cancer, and a whole other host of issues.

Some people can't be killed. Others get cancer in their 20s. You do the best that you can and try not to beat yourself up if you get an unlucky draw.
If software vendors want to really turn the screws on Russian aggression, I have a suggestion: break license checks from Russia. Microsoft Windows, Office, Sharepoint, looking at you in particular. Delicense existing installations.
It’s ok to be upset about what’s happening. That doesn’t mean one should be deluded into thinking they have a direct personal impact on the outcome of events.

Parent commenter pointed out that making a bunch of unsolicited calls to Russians is counter productive. Proclaiming “something must be done!!” Might make you personally feel better, but that’s not a good thing if it only comes at a detriment to others.

Seriously, how do you respond to unsolicited phone calls? This plan is half baked and will only harden the resolve of people who don’t already agree with the western point of view, and get people who do agree arrested.

I take umbrage at the notion I can’t critique a bad idea unless I’m some sort of saint.
