The thing is, we do carefully scrutinize refugees, very carefully.

Saying we need to do so very carefully is implicitly suggesting that that's not currently the case, and that does absolutely feed into racism against MENA/South Asian people and Islamophobia.
yep agreed.

I've often thought about what interesting findings you would get back if time and people were infinite and all those little things you thought, 'huh? thats weird' and put it in a queue somewhere and a few days later it had been thoroughly investigated and findings documented by some smart person. I'd expect you'd find some weird networking problems for why ssh hangs sometimes, misconfigurations, waste, security vulns etc. So many things we skip over day to day bc it would be a distraction.

>But that, once upon a time, and it wasn't too long ago, there was a thing known as "civil discourse" in this country. In which (and granted the boundaries are fuzzy hear) -- in itself the mere fact of having an unpopular (or difficult) opinion on the state of the world ... did not run such an alarmingly and dysfunctional risk of getting you shut down in form or another as it does today.

But doesn't this cut both ways? Once upon a time it wasn't possible to spout whatever's in one's head to countless people at once. The surface area is much larger today, and so are the consequences.

I don't know if I have a definition of "cancel culture" but consider the time NY Times ran an entire article about a single person from Goldman Sachs that donated to the wrong political candidate in 2016, which they publicly named.

> Records show just one Goldman employee, a financial adviser in the wealth management division, has donated to Mr. Trump — $534.58, to be precise.

The Times also did some research on him and found he was selling MAGA style hats. Running a side hustle while working at GS is a big no-no and it got him fired.

Can we all agree that whatever the hell that is is wrong? One of the largest newspapers in the world combing through public donations, finding a private individual that happened to donate a small amount to a politician that would go on to win the presidency, and feel the need to name that person publicly.

Or if you're more sympathetic to the other side, how about the woman that gave Trump the middle finger? She lost her job as a government contractor, but she won political office off of the debaucle.

27" 1440p is only 109 ppi. Basically unchanged since the dawn of computer monitors. 32" 4k is then 137 ppi, and 5k 27" is 218 ppi.

All of these are pathetically small numbers compared to the >400ppi we all carry in our pockets, though.

As a parent of a child with cystic fibrosis, I think I can sympathize with the hope and excitement around gene therapies and the newest generation of medications that can treat the underlying problem instead of just the symptoms. There is exciting important work going on there, and if it interests you and you feel like you can be successful, by all means go for it. Please don't interpret the rest of this post as trying to discourage that.

At the same time, I think if you step back a little from genetics you might find other areas where you could make a contribution that don't have as many barriers to entry. There are apps that try to connect people in cardiac arrest with nearby AEDs and people trained in CPR. Can those be improved? Is there any research on alternative fitness programs that might be more appropriate for people with HCM? If early detection would improve long term outcomes, are there better ways to test for it? Would volunteer work to raise HCM awareness while holding down an unrelated office job be your way of making a difference?

I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not since many of those companies are either open core, or they moved from open source licenses to proprietary source-available licenses.
I manage a mid-size fleet of EC2s across 4 AWS regions with several auto scaling groups per region. The VMs themselves are general purpose and the image is built with our standard set of dependencies. All of our applications are homogeneous as far as stack, so the process for managing the VM ecosystem is pretty simple.

The various application binaries are deployed through a small set of SSM documents (with an automation layer built on Jenkins in front and using S3 to shuffle things around). The design predates me, but I've made small improvements to it. It works fine and its cheap as far as AWS stuff goes.

We are slowly migrating applications to ECS Fargate which I have yet to form a strong opinion on. Docker is a nice experience even if the leanest artifacts are still chunkier than a naked application.

For reference, I have built some larger and some smaller stuff using k8s and even docker+machine once.

> In the US that is illegal almost everywhere

But, for anyone else reading, one of the few places filtering and lane splitting in general is legal (up to ~10mph speed difference) is in California.

There was extensive discussion on a recent episode of "Highside Lowside" (Revzilla's Podcast) about whether lane splitting at speed increases or decreases safety, complete with stats and personal experiences. (In their opinion it comes down to the skill of the rider.) Filtering when cars are fully stopped is likely safe and less contentious.

I was surprised to find out just now that the last time Russia tested a nuclear weapon was, October 1990. Looks like most of their testing locations are/were located in former soviet bloc countries. Presumably that means any newer designs than what were tested in the 1980s, have never actually been tested before, and those that have, might be almost 35 years old.
It does at least draw attention to some of the fairly flaky algorithms and assumptions that people are perhaps naively relying on. I’m not a fan of the race to the bottom to automate at the expense of accuracy that Google so often exemplifies.
You have to ask yourself what he would achieve by using nuclear weapons, and what the costs would be. Using nuclear weapons seems unlikely to benefit the Putin regime in any way, and risks destablizing his position, both from inside and outside Russia.

Putin is not crazy, he is acting rationally from his perspective (though it may be hard to understand). My suspicion is that the reports of him having cancer are correct, and the Ukraine invasion was a way to bolster and secure his position in the face of doubt caused by the cancer.
The things that go on at small SaaS companies would horrify many. One SaaS company I worked for had a "god-mode" password hard coded into the source
code. It was visible in plain text in the source, and you could login as any customer if you knew this master password. Of course, this was not logged anywhere. When employees left, they'd change the password and deploy a new build.
If anything, I would argue the opposite.

Photography gave painting (and visual arts in general) a massive boost by the virtue of stripping the aspiration of going for "ultra-realism" in paintings. After all, that's what photography can accomplish much better and much easier. This made painters look for other directions to push their art into, which freed up artists' bandwidth for a lot of other, previously overlooked and not as popular genres, such as surrealism.

Not saying that photography is responsible for creating those genres, they existed before. But (relatively) cheap and accessible photography definitely diverted attention from ultra-realistic paintings to other painting genres that enjoyed greater growth due to that.

After all, what do you think will happen once it becomes very easy and cheap for anyone to have ultra-realistic 3D models and animation in videogames? It will become much less valued, as it is something that anyone can do very easily. So people doing 3D art will need to look in other directions to distinguish their work. I have already been observing it happen over the decades in gaming.

For present day examples: Nintendo manages to nail the style of visuals in a lot of their first party titles without even attempting photo-realism. Guilty Gear -STRIVE- (made by ArcSystem Works) is killing it with their over-stylized visuals. Atlus and their Persona series keeps pushing more abstract and surreal depictions with each game, and they resonate well with the audience. And I've only listed AAA-tier examples. Once you dive into indies, you can go on forever with lots of well-executed products that pretty much intentionally went against photo-realism.
And risky too, obstacle resilience goes up rapidly with bike wheel size. This will get you killed on the first tram track that you try to cross.

Interesting perspective of relative risks in life. Makes me think of Boeing's 737MAX that should have gone through a new type certification process and was instead allowed (by regulators in multiple countries) to apply software to make it seem like it flies like other 737s. This saved on pilot retraining costs, and resulted in a couple mass deaths. We don't seem to be coherent with risks.

Somehow write a dispositive argument that "cancel culture" isn't real.

With so many things defined as cancel culture, with so many qualities ascribed to cancel culture, with cancel culture having committed so many crimes and offended so many people, how indeed could it not be real? How preposterous! So many now are lying in the gutter with ruined lives, so many have ruined careers, what thing could have done this if not cancel culture? How could it not be real?

True, cancel culture might have some contradictions in it's definition. But I propose we iron those out those straight away and define cancel culture as American culture and then clearly, we can say, as Doonesbury author Garry Trudeau said, "we have me the enemy and he is us".

Edit: More seriously, the phrase "cancel culture" is poor way to way to deal with something with a raft of only semi-related explosions of anger against things that used to be OK. If someone doesn't like what's happening, they need to deal constructive with what's happening, not imagine that the genie will go back into the bottle by condemnation of this "cancel culture".
I'm happy enough with Google calendar with android + web. I've never had a desktop calendar client that I liked though.

It works easiest if you are permitted to let your personal account see and manage your work account calendar and vice versa. For read-only access, Google has icalendar urls you can sync against, and you can subscribe to icalendar urls with Google calendar (although Google ignores the refresh period hints, afaik, so you get updates about once a day).

I think you can caldav to Google as well, at least I saw documentation for that recently.

> Half-measures don't work in war.

Peace talks are half-measures too though. Ukraine will have to agree to give up Crimea and Donbas, and not allow NATO troops in, then Russia will regroup, retrain, and re-arm, then try again to capture all the territory east of the Dnieper. After all, having proven that the only cost of invasion is temporary sanctions, why wouldn't Putin try again?

If half-measures are ruled out, the only available extremes are complete capitulation (effectively annexation of Ukraine, under a puppet regime, similar to Belarus) or nuclear war, which is what it would mean for NATO to "fully engage". For a non-suicidal listener, then, a call to avoid half-measures is a demand to surrender, hidden behind an olive branch.

Again, for the umpteenth time:

"Have got": past participle or whatever; "do have": present tense. That's yours, the original introduction of mixed tenses.

> >Oh? I thought your previous posts were in English. Damn, I must be better at Latin [sic] than I thought.

No, it's a perfectly valid use of "sic" in the sense of "this is exactly how that word is supposed to be written". (Given how it's a proper name, and all.) What, you were only familiar with the other sense, that of "this is exactly how you wrote it, you numbskull "? Better piss off back to middle school and get some Bildung then.

> Vladimir Putin claims that the West is trying to “cancel” Russia merely for invading a sovereign nation

I will not go into the merits or demerits of Russia invading Ukraine, but that cancelling process of Russian culture did most certainly happen (and is still happening). Where I live (Romania) they even cancelled an Eugene Onegin [1] opera show because it was, well, Russian. Both Chaikovsky, the composer, and Pushkin (the author of Onegin) have been long dead, they most certainly don't have anything to do with the current invasion. And that was not an isolated incident, at least according to what I could read on the net.

Yes I understand that. My point is until you configure it in that way it is not “secret” and the name of the object is a bit misleading, especially when first learning k8s.
I think one of the main issues was depending on a custom gem. And then something about sandboxing, and outdated things being cached (maybe this was just a rails thing though). Also setting up rails project was convoluted. It was just obvious that there wasn't much time devoted towards that use case of Nix.

The rails support was more of just to handle packaging existing software as opposed to being good for a development environment.
I don't feel like ARM has serious technical advantages over x86-64 as an ISA, although it is cleaner and has more security features which is good. Isn't the main advantage just that it's easier to license ARM?

Once enough patents expire all ISAs are eventually equal, I'd think.

Yes, a motor + battery kit. It's really simple -- depending on the bike. For a folding bike you need to think ahead of where the engine and battery are going to go when folded. Mid-drive motors are much preferable, if possible (at the center of the bike, between the cranks).

There are two Chinese brands for the engines: Bafang and Tongsheng. Bafang has a better reputation; I used a Bafang for my first conversion (a regular MTB). But Tongshengs, in addition to being a little more affordable, are true pedal assist: power is proportional to the force you put on the pedals. It's a different experience from Bafang, but pedal assist feels better on a small folding bike, IMHO.
