The rural area where my family comes from was segregated by European origin. The English got the best lands, then the next areas went to Scotts, Irish, Germans and Poles depending on time of arrival. My grandparents wedding was not attended by both families because one ethnicity (Germans) thought they other ethnicity (Irish) were 'alcoholics'. (I mean, it's a little bit true ...).

In the urban area where the other side of my family is from, it's broken up into Little Italy, Greek Town, China Town, Jewish Market etc..

Whether that era was better or not I won't or can't say - but it certainly was more richly diverse than the McDonald's and Starbucks drinkers of today.

Also it should be noted that even without regressive and overt kinds of racism (rooted in slavery), segregation will have happened anyhow.

I think framing systems purely in 'Black ex-slaves' vs. 'The Others', presumably White is a bit misleading. Italians and Greeks in NYC probably were not even considered 'white' during that era. It's much more nuanced. There are vast numbers of very poor people of all groups who have been 'serfs' since the dawn of time, who have never had any status, and similar segregational policies will have been applied to them as well.

Though I'm looking forward to learning more from sources such as this book.

I've returned to the .NET ecosystem this year and have been slowly exploring everything they've added and changed to both C# and .NET since I last used it in 2011. I've been impressed so far.

The author does a good job pointing out that it probably can't be the only language you will need to use - for AWS Lambda functions I still reach for Node instead.
Well, given that these are in Walgreens, probably to hide that half the shelves are empty.
One of the major innovations I miss still in C# is more flexibility regarding interfaces and inheritance.
Like e.g. protocols in Swift. Their synthesized implementations are a great and productive method to ensure standardization and code reuse without much boilerplate.

C# is still on the old OO path coming from Java with respect to that and decorating something with multiple base implementations is still a pain.
Are the number of people who do this numerous enough for them to make the effort?

>>The undisclosed financial interest is they're in a union?

Yes. Legitimizing unionization directly bolsters their market position. Anti-gig-economy laws can even cause their employer to totally cease reliance on freelancers, as seen in the example I provided with Vox Media.

This conflict of interests needs to at the very least be disclosed when they write about unionization and labor mandates.

>>And what a joke to bring up California, where Uber and all of these shitty companies lobbied to pass an unconstitutional law to their benefit.

You didn't even address my point. You just went off on a tangent, while falsely implying that it invalidates the point I made.

This attitude of extreme self-righteous bias and lack of regard for principles of professional and political integrity that you're exhibiting is the reason things have degraded to this point. Any one not in your ideological bubble that sees how prevalent your attitude has become amongst your political tribe is going to become polarized in opposition to it.
In my opinion that's a perfectly sensible policy for employees, but makes a mockery of the idea of an independent contractor.
You think that large companies never make investments that don't turn out as well as they hoped? I think you live in a very different world than I do.

Years ago, I was Bob but a junior engineer.

I had previous experience working in research, and tended towards a more hacker's style of coding that had always been good enough for the prestigious lab where I interned. Looking back, the older guys on my team were signaling disapproval to management but would never correct me to my face, and never offered constructive feedback. My manager was largely the same way. People in tech tend to be terrified of controversy and struggle with conflict.

Getting PIP'd was the best thing for me, because it established clear standards and goals for me in my role. In sixth months, I got promoted. Sometimes it's a communication thing.
In some ways, it sounds similar to the Catalonia - Madrid divide in Spain.
Do you remember in the early 2000s where Microsoft added to the .net runtime licence that you weren't allowed to perform or publish performance benchmarks?

Since then, I think It's fair to consider performance benchmarks coming fom Microsoft to be less than trustable.
But it was the worst episode...
Um, the one in this very article took 17 years.
> These days, I do most of my C#/.NET in VS Code

> And it works (mostly) flawlessly.

It’s very hard not to roll my eyes when I read this.

No it doesn’t. It’s not mostly flawless, it’s slightly better than using notepad.

It’s considerably worse than the general experience of using vscode.

This has been gone over many times in the past, and I would put it as my #1 c# myth:

1) you can just use vscode

Microsoft has made a business decision to cripple the c# support in vscode to prop up their visual studio division.

It doesn’t “happen to no be as good yet but it’s getting better”.

It will never be a first class c# experience until the business priorities at Microsoft change.

It’s free. So is the visual studio community edition; honestly, if you have to use c# just use that.
Yes, woks are made of thin sheet steel. This allows them to heat up and cool down instantly. If it has a flat outside and round inside then it must have a lot of mass and thus cannot cool down instantly when removed from heat. Again, an essential feature of a wok.
Online shopping during the pandemic has been pretty great for me. The biggest problem in Australia is that it's very clear the supermarket chains don't process seriously enough - i.e. random substitutions without notification are way to common.

But I miss absolutely nothing about going to a grocery store.

EDIT: in fact in general the pandemic has been pretty good at cutting the number of ads I have to see and hear daily since I've been away from high trafficked areas a lot. That sensory assault I do not miss at all.
The most annoying part is the people who don't write comments.

Code comments are important (sometimes more important than the code), even for code that seems self describing, as in many cases putting a few notes of the "why" is super critical to prevent people from making breaking changes later. That said, I am not advocating for commenting completely self describing code lines, e.g. // for loop etc.

My personal work style is I first write comments as the outline of what I want to have happen then fill in the details via code. At the end, I'll remove the unnecessary comments, but by doing this it helps me make sure my code is fully commented and helps me organize my thoughts before just writing code. The worst case is I sometimes leave unnecessary comments but that's fairly minor IMO. This method works at any level of code too, e.g. modules, interfaces, files, functions etc

Frankly commenting this way has saved me countless hours of debugging, especially in more complex and code dense functions, algorithms is a good example. Non trivial lambdas is another good example where a good comment can save a ton of time.

I also require function header comments with parameter descriptions and return value details etc. Tools like doxygen are invaluable when you work with teams that need to share details on interfaces etc.
It's also a "filters out awful drivers" and "avoids price gouging and dishonest practices" service. I hope gig drivers get their rights better protected, but I hope we also never go back to the days of awful taxi drivers. As a plus it also eliminates dumb rent seeking from taxi medallion systems

Main problem with induction or electric is that once you lift your pan to say toss food, the pan stars to cool. With gas you can still have some fire contact to keep the pan hot. Also you can control which part of the pan is hot if you tilt it at an angle. These are something you won’t miss till it’s gone
Corners get cut on refurbishment, for political reasons, and the facility continues to degrade while their life is too far extended. Fukushima had this issue.
I have used it since 2001, though Friday (and continuing next week and for the forseaable future). My biggest problems are:

* OOP is celebrated in the ecosystem. It's time to face the truth: the mainstream (i.e. not smalltalk) implementation of OOP is fundamentally flawed. I have done some pretty fancy stuff with aspnetcore and, OH BOY, does it take a while to unravel and understand that decoupled OOP wet dream.

* Nobody does the high performance stuff in the real world. DDD (which has several valid merits) has many idioms in netcore that are fundamentally incompatible with writing high performance code. You might be able to dilute DDD to achieve tighter code, but if you value explicit clarity above all else then you have limits. Modern procedural languages suffer from fewer opinions when approaching the best of both worlds.

Really this is a rant about OOP and, disagree with me about OOP being broken or not, OOP and OOP idioms are deeply entrenched in netcore (F# included).
Spent fuel rods are a much safer destination for radioactive material, much better than particulate matter released into the atmosphere.
A related concept to spaghetti code is what I like to call "Jenga code". I.e. code that looks like it started ok, but people kept modifying it without proper support or thought for the modifications, and has now reached a point where the tiniest change will cause the whole thing to collapse.
That’s a shockingly bad kludge though. You’d at the very least expect them to change it to an email they control. I mean, it would still be a shit workaround but at least it wouldn’t be trivially exploitable.

>I would pay a premium for a TV with no internet connection.

I bought a Samsung QLED TV recently, and it works fine without an internet connection. I did give it an ethernet connection to grab firmware updates, and it downloaded a bunch of ads and crap to clutter the home screen. Luckily, unplugging the ethernet cord and factory-resetting the device got rid of the garbage and kept the updated firmware.
And yet this one took 17 years.

Extremely similar background here, similar feelings after working with .NET / modern C#. I even, semi- subconsciously perhaps, wanted to dislike it -- because I thought it was MS-ish, and ASP-ish. But really, it's a first class citizen and especially so the last few years as it's become very fast & received a ton of cross-platform support.

Once over the [quite low IMO] initial 'hurdle', it's easily amongst the most productive & best-supported "platforms" I've ever worked within.
Putin is now screwed regardless. His own public opinion is not going to forgive him what he did to their friends and family members in Ukraine. The only question is how long that is going to take, and how bloody it will get.

Prices have been going up for months. The war doesn't help, but let's not pretend it wasn't happening before it started.
I think it's more about the stakes, obstacles, "psychic wounds" etc, than the actual superpowers. Being born with superpowers isn't that big a deal, if you're in a film where every other significant character also has superpowers.

Spider-man lets his uncle die because he's busy showing off. Batman in The Dark Knight "has no cartilage in his knees, scar tissue on his kidneys, concussive damage to his brain, and a host of other issues". Bruce Banner is subject to fits of uncontrollable rage. Logan is dying and in constant pain. Doctor Strange's hands are mutilated due to a car crash caused by his own arrogance.

IIRC Wonder Woman has a naivity due to growing up on a remote island populated by women, but she's basically confident and hypercompetent throughout. Captain Marvel's big issue is she's forgotten she has galactically important superpowers. Black Widow's character has a bit more going on, and I liked the film better than the other two. But, I think there is a difference between the amount of freedom big budget movie screenwriters have with male and female characters.

At lower budgetary levels, you're more likely to see women with less straightforwardly heroic characters, facing more interesting or engaging stakes.

Before Captain Marvel Brie Larson was doing great indie flicks like Room and Free Fire. She's said she was quite conflicted about taking the role, and I can't blame her for taking the money but I think I understand her hesitation.

This is not to mention C14 or the свобода (Svoboda) political party aside from the Azov battalion. They have an outsized influence in Ukrainian politics. This is one of the main reasons why they won't concede on NATO membership to end the war, US interests aside.
Block port 443 and configure machines to use an http proxy with a cert installed?
Kind of a case of ignoring geopolitical debt, I guess. Anybody who wants to fix the problem today has an impossible task that was once possible.
> Walgreens risks angering them by solving a problem that shoppers didn't know existed. The company wants to engage more people with advertising (...)

Contrary to a lot of claims, they are trying to solve a problem. The problem is the problem is of no interest to customers and actually creates problems for customers.

I also wonder how long it will be a benefit for businesses. It is difficult to see how the advertising space can maintain its value if this is rolled out everywhere. It is difficult to see how the advertising space can maintain value once the novelty wears off and consumers largely ignore it. It is difficult to see how stores will manage the expectations and frustrations of consumers.
I suspect that the 90% of people who they were able to get a response from is going to be a highly biased sample.
A reasonable person wouldn't build a house with no walls to store their secrets in, and then put the house in a public place and give access to the public.

Or I guess I can just start up a website at "youre-unauthorized.com", so a every reasonable person is duly noticed that they aren't authorized to see it, put my secrets there, set the web server to allow access to all requests everywhere, and then file a criminal complaint on everyone who accesses my secrets that I put out in public.

A reasonable person knows intuitively that only crime committed was that of embarrassing the rich and/or well connected.
Usually what is meant by 'cancer vaccine' isn't the HPV or Hep.B vaccine where the target is the viral causative agent of cancer. They are typically therapeutic rather than prophylactic, inducing immunity against cancer-specific antigens to overcome the immune evasion mechanisms cancer cells use, tog get the relevant elements of the immune system to attack cancer cells directly. Several are already approved, but no one inn the know is saying that a cure-all cancer vaccine is around the corner, cancers are very diverse and the vaccine approach may only be applicable in very niche cases where cancer antigens are sufficiently different enough from normal proteins expressed by healthy cells — and just like targets of immunotherapy and chemotherapy, there's no promising that cancers won't evolve to overcome therapeutics.
> The Russian influence was to further divide Americans against each other...

The US is in a lot of trouble then, because most of the political class is in league with Russian goals. Republican & Democrat politics are famous for being divisive.

Us debate is a robust place, there is a lot of namecalling and contempt.
> And due process.

nearly all of us here on this forum would expect to get due process, but the due process for the people who wind up on death row is often a joke.
They make lots of investments that don't turn out. But they never make investments that aren't supported by a logical business model that makes sense for them. In this case, I am certain that tests show people will open doors less (saving energy costs), buy more and more often (ads) and other benefits that outweigh the gallery shouting "this is stupid."

Is it full proof? Of course not. Models are inaccurate all the time. But this article and the comments here acting like this is so obviously a terrible idea are silly.
Imagine how many companies do this instead of deleting data but at the very least disable the emails so you can’t even know.
More disingenuous framing of the situation.

Without bias means not taking the side of the unionized Vox Media writers over the hundreds of freelancers that Vox Media let go of to comply with the anti-gig-economy law that those unionized journalists advocated for in their articles.
The Red Cross is generally regarded as the best humanitarian aid organization out there, maybe tied with a couple others like Doctors Without Borders

I was told a long time ago that one difference between the two is that the Red Cross will only go into territories where it is legally allowed to do so, whereas Doctors Without Borders will get into conflict zones even when not welcome and risk their lives in the process. My view is we're fortunate to have both.
Hmm I had never heard of Certificate Transparency, looks like its a relatively newish tech added onto how SSL/TLS certs work. It seems only Google Chrome & Safari require SCT chains (not used by Firefox). Maybe I've never heard of it because I'm a Firefox user? You mentioned blockchain, does that mean there is a public blockchain for these Certs? I didn't see that mentioned anywhere but it does seem like blockchain features overlap with the desired features of "Certificate Transparency".

Why Is It Taking So Long to Secure Internet Routing? (2014)
Some time ago I had the misfortune to direct a C#/ASP.net web project, and that project turned out to be the first web project where the backend was singnificantly later than the frontend. Even though the backend had 2 senior developers and the frontend only 1 junior developer doing React.

Since then I am not able to take seriously the saying of .net to be "incredibly productive".
> There's more to data harvesting than "do not track".

P3P has been around forever and gives us the information that's today in consent dialogs, except machine readable in a standard format so that user agents can compare it with the user's stated privacy preferences and behave accordingly. GDPR could've easily standardized on an extension to P3P.

I'd previously seen reports on the studies about gas stoves being harmful even when off, and wondered about the credibility.
> How one of the worlds largest companies sells stuff that so blatantly violates the GDPR while web developers at tiny companies sweat over whether we can save an IP for five minutes is beyond me.

Money solves a lot of problems, and people at tiny companies seem more likely to actually care.
Get with the dominate provider(s) in the areas you are evaluating and talk to them, there are tons of options that you won't ever see online from them. Companies like Verizon, AT&T etc have all kinds of business plans which you can't find online, you need to talk with a business account manager. As you'd expect, volume has a large impact on your pricing.

If you are just prototyping and not ready to create a relationship then use one of the online plans with a provider or Twilio etc until you are ready. You'll generally pay a bit more doing this, but for prototyping it gives you more options and you can try different providers etc.
Operating cost of nukes is low only compared to coal and oil, and not even to gas. Compared to renewable + storage, nuke operating cost is very, very high.
Honestly I don't mind this too much as long as it's yubikey only, that literally is just reach up, tap, hit enter: 1-2 seconds if you know it's coming. If they require to reenter a password it's more like 10-30 seconds depending on if I mistype anything. That's just setting the wrong incentive to have a weak password that is easy to type.
