I’m trying to feel out why it bothers me and I think it’s because:

- I will probably exit an interview process in an hour if the company isn’t a good fit

- We’re not talking about normal employment here. This is in addition to my job.
It is always safe, and by "safe" I mean "safe for data". You won't have to deal with data corruption. Precisely, see "How To Corrupt An SQLite Database File": https://www.sqlite.org/howtocorrupt.html

Now concurrent accesses from different processes/connections can lead to runtime errors (SQLITE_BUSY), because the database happens to be locked by one connection.

Those errors are greatly reduced by the WAL mode (https://sqlite.org/wal.html) which provides ultra-robust single-writer/multiple-readers semantics:

- Writes can not happen concurrently (SQLITE_BUSY).

- One can reduce the occurrences of such SQLITE_BUSY errors by using a built-in timeout (https://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/busy_timeout.html).

- Several reads can happen concurrently, including with writers.

- A writer connection can enter the "Serializable" isolation level.

- A reader connection can enter the "Snapshot Isolation" level.

For more details, see https://www.sqlite.org/isolation.html

During all the years I've been developing the GRDB library (https://github.com/groue/GRDB.swift), I could never see SQLite fail its documented guarantees. This made it possible to build one of the most concurrency-focused SQLite toolkit for Swift, and I'm pretty happy with it (https://github.com/groue/GRDB.swift/blob/master/Documentatio...).
That's so strange, I've experienced all of these things on multiple set ups over the past year+ (based in the US). I wonder what the difference is on why some users do/don't get this...
Yes. You're talking about people asking for special dispensation in money and legal rights that get granted by agency policies and board votes, something far removed from the democratic process of the voters who don't get these privileges.

I would draw a hard line at disparate arbitrary and capricious allowances, i.e., making an affordable housing developer in a poor area jump through a ton of hoops, but letting a polluting power plant developer sail right through.

But seeing as this process is an exception to equality under the law granted at the whim of a board that may not even be elected in some cases, I have no qualms with making it by default really hard.

You want to change zoning laws? Fair. Do it for everybody via the elected town council or state legislature where the public has input.

Yes it’s somewhat odd.

At least how I learned about it was the fast turnaround from design to store to capitalize on a trend.

Instead of it taking 6-9 months from initial design to manufacture to store placement, you could design quickly, outsource to global manufacturers and have new designs in store in 2-3 months.

Not sure how that’s more wasteful than traditional clothing. It all depends on often you buy new clothes?
how is it great?

it's a shittier version of Chrome laden with more telemetry, ads, coupon bullshit and abusive "pay later" schemes

The telemetry is still there. And it's still a lot more pervasive than whatever Chrome does. (So, if you're running Firefox in Windows 10 or 11 and think you're preserving your privacy, think again.)
SQLite also supports JSON fields and operators: https://www.sqlite.org/json1.html
Too much feedback (especially when it comes to sharing your own thoughts) poisons the purity.

Not sure what you’re getting at?
Do you have a specific Ross Greene book you recommend?
Oh excellent, I wasn't sure the "snapshot isolation" level existed (the WAL kind of implied it, but I wasn't sure). SQLITE_BUSY only happens if a write lock is kept for longer than the readers' configured timeout, right? It shouldn't happen for short writes?
You’re more annoyed by ff than Edge embedding a buy now pay later feature?
I always wondered how so many people I know who are in high positions manage to be so immature and irresponsible, they never take responsibility, they play childish blame games, and so on. I feel like if I followed their example, I'd be a pariah.

Then I realised... That stuff is not the way you become powerful, it's a perk of power to be enjoyed. Not having to consider the lives, experiences or needs of others is the reward, it's the entire definition of success for these people.

And in the personal examples I know, the people just arrived at their positions of power via their parents, their background, and their connections, not through shrewd Machiavellian manoeuvring.
> In a similar way, the loss of information on the internet is not "natural" either, it's the result of deliberate business decisions that come from a specific trend of monetization.

It is the default. To keep information around "forever" you need people working on it forever. Current storage mediums don't even last 100 years. Browsers change, technologies get dropped (flash), people stop paying for websites (geocities). Bandwith isn't free. If you want to preserve anything you have to make an actual effort, put energy in. Things decay by nature.
“Amazon then copies these products and promotes its own listings”

…for the consumer’s benefit. It’s a win/win.

They are one our best companies. From the climate change perspective alone, think of how much better off we are, as a planet, thanks to Amazon. People are appallingly ungrateful. And the criticism is typically something along the lines that he allows too much freedom (“they let anyone sell stuff, even chinese vendors gasp) or oddly, they complain about logistical efficiency (“eww commingling! I would never!” as they clutch their pearls), when it’s acthually exactly what other retailers do. If people were so worried about their packets commingling we wouldn’t have the internet, the us postal service would stop functioning if mail didn’t get commingled. Commingling is good, progressive.

I don't think it is (or should be) viewed as a problem in itself, but my guess would be that this phenomenon, where it exists, reflects the disparity in educational attainment between men and women. That disparity may warrant some concern, but it's essentially a separate issue.

That's but one version of equality.

Equality under the law (both your examples may arguably fall here), but we also have equality of opportunity, equality of outcome, equality by mean reduction.

I personally agree that equality under the law is indeed desirable but some other types aren't.

Which ones are good and which aren't should be made explicit.

Then we can talk about how to increase the good equalities and reduce the bad ones.
You're joking, but actually, one thing I think people miss is that New York is significantly more affordable than San Francisco, Paris, Hong Kong, and other cities of its class. I think our housing policies deserve credit for that. There's tons of room for improvement, but we do some things right and you can see the results!
I don't get what the big deal is. I remember this book. It was useful back in the day, but really, has anyone really ever been pinched as an NR license violator? I expect some orgs paid for licenses, it's not an exorbitant amount. It probably amounted to little more than pocket change for the professor/author over the years. Is the guy lawsuit-crazy, I didn't see evidence of that.

If some grad student, postdoc or independent uses it and doesn't quite follow the license terms, I expect nothing will happen. Though they would probably do well to update their code base, eventually, for technical as well as license reasons if they "scale up" beyond using the code for a paper or two. But the tone of the OP's call to "Boycott" is a bit over the top, RMS-style, and not in a good way.
It depends on what you count as part of the pandemic. At its core there's just the disease itself and the risk of catching it. Then there's the chance of knowing someone who has been severely ill from it, and the precautions taken to mitigate that risk. A few kids were fine with remote learning; for many more it absolutely sucked. Then there's the fact that those precautions have precluded many other activities, leaving even more time to read all the doom and gloom online. For high-school seniors (like my daughter) there's the college-admission situation which is an absolute mess right now due to two years of pandemic-related issues. Stressed out parents, cabin fever, contentious battles with friends and neighbors over vaccines and masks ... the list goes on and on.

If you interpret "the pandemic" as just that core, maybe it's a misdiagnosis. If you include all of the secondary and tertiary effects, the case is much stronger.
Looks interesting. I am using a similar setup with Debian 11 + KDE and i3 and urxvt in Damon mode.
You get all the benefits of Settings, Network Manager, Keychain etc. and just use i3 as your Window Manager

I used to have Gnome. But since switched to KDE5 as I read that KDE 5 takes less memory than Gnome 3
Can't you just format the hard drive without ever booting into what's on it out of the box and install one of those "lite" Windows builds from rutracker that ditch all the non-essential parts?
Or to put it another way, people with money and power don't get shunned for their shitty behaviour because people need money. What actually happens is that people turn themselves in to codependents or enablers.
Sure the pandemic may have accelerated or been the catalyst, but let's be honest here. TV/Internet/Video game addiction is a serious thing that nobody is paying attention to. I struggled with this personally for the last 25 years of my life and I'm 30. I now have two kids and have to ensure I moderate their usage in responsible ways as they grow up.

I was a generation before the iPad, but the current teenagers struggling have likely had a smart device from as early as 2. My smart device was a TV and nintendo. The guidelines the CDC even has for responsible device usage is reasonable, but nobody follows it. Most people are picking up their devices up to a hundred times a day or every 10 minutes. The average screen time is close to 3 hours. That's an average by the way...

We need to bring awareness to this problem like Nicholas Carr did over a decade ago. We can't let big tech companies convince us this isn't a problem with their sponsored studies to control a narrative.
That seems like a marketing gimmick?

I mean denim is already a renewable resource. Recycling old denim costs energy just like producing new denim.

It’s like people who feel good about putting plastic in the recycling bin even though most of it ends up in landfills.
Some people love to hate Apple, but what they do they do better than anyone and it isn’t even close. Their hardware shows a craftsmanship and quality no one else in any of their segments, except for perhaps phones, even attempts.

What should scare competitors is that they are getting better and more serious about services, something they have historically been pretty bad at.
Unfortunately, no, I don't think that's possible. There's a few null bytes used here and there, like marking the Lua offset, and your screenshot can't capture those, no matter how accurate the rendering of the actual bytes is.
Let's look at what the PDF file says:

Leah Elliott

Contra Chrome

... a little down in the address bar:

"Remixed from Scott McCloud's Google Chrome Comic"

Next page: Again "Leah Elliott" and "Remixed from..." notice.

So the actual "remixer" isn't hiding or anything.

On the actual webpage, there's an "About" link, which is not hidden or anything either.
> vastly more wasteful and energy intensive to run them for 20 years than to replace them at ten

I recently bought a new washing machine. It is twice as efficient as the old one that broke down irreparably after 12 years.

I chose it by summing machines' cost, and the projected cost of each one's electricity needs going 10 years in the future, if prices go up by 10% per year, and picking the cheapest total one.

The cost of the machine itself ended up being 1149 RON, and the cost of the electricity would be 938 RON, which is almost the cost of the machine entirely.

So it is indeed important to consider efficiency and updating an old machine, and compare with what you have.

As long as the improvement in power efficiency keeps up, it will not make sense to keep an appliance for 50 years. But once that improvement stops, so does the reason for replacing them.
You can’t specify the width of a single bit in the diagram but I found https://www.luismg.com/protocol/ otherwise nice.

It’s ASCII though.
We host all wp ourselves; it’s so simple these days. I have a script which just gets into ssh and runs docker compose and dumps all the passwords. Takes seconds and currently we host around 20 wps which makes the cost per wp 0.05$ per month. Sure it can go down but it never did and if it does, we’ll survive.

I Was at the Real WeWork. It Was Even Weirder Than 'WeCrashed.'
I'm not sure if it's necessarily gender-coded, but one thing that I have noticed is that I personally value apologies less from people that constantly apologize, the same way that it's hard to see a compliment as genuine if you're the 10th person in line receiving a compliment from the same person.

In addition to the frequency of apologizing, I think it also makes it worse if you're constantly apologizing about the same thing, especially if it's something bad that the apology is actually valid for. It always makes me think of the pretty harsh but sometimes valid saying "don't be sorry, be better".

An apology in my mind only works if it's rare, heartfelt and honest. If it happens all the time, for trivial things and does not action any change in behavior from the person, it's pretty close (or worse) than not apologizing in the first place.
To me it seems like the author makes an argument for social conservatism and not for authoritarianism. After all many social conservatives are extreme liberals when it comes to economics.

Creating a DNS server is beyond Googles abilities? Why will Google be unable to index it? If you can read the catalogue, they surely can.

> "Commercial operators will see no value in this parallel network"

If people are using it, they will want to put ads on it. Why wouldn't they? And why are 'hackers' separate from 'people who want money for their work' in this scenario?
For me

- Writing publicly is minimum viable pressure to make me better formulate my ideas. It doesn’t require feedback; 80% of the value is in my words being public. When my ideas are better formulated, it leads to me new ideas I wouldn’t have had otherwise

- Over time (I’ve been blogging since 2000) I’ve found that the most valuable feedback is in email. You don’t get good signal to noise in comments or Web Mentions. RSS + a public email address is all I need

- I can afford for my network to grow slowly. I don’t need to build big community with flurries of debate in a comments section. Writing publicly is an excellent way to keep in touch with the broad network I already have
No, it really isn't. Especially since the options are "Try now" and "Later" with no "Never" or some other easy way to permanently stop it.
Yeah about these "well known" things regarding Russia... We must re-evaluate everything.

And you're right - I visited Russia few years ago. Outside of Moscow, many homes I visited did not have running water. Moscow has its own share of poorness too - there's few super-rich and then millions of super-poor people living next to each other.

The first three sections are worth showing to those who stubbornly insist on either trusting that these companies (all of them) will not abuse their access to their data or insisting they don't care about what those companies know about them. Section four - the 'social psychologist' starts the introduction of some political slant ('muslim, LGBTQIA+, democrat' portrayed as 'vulnerable' who might not get a job/credit card/health insurance policy, terms like 'fat shaming'), section five is just littered with 'progressive' tropes where Trump == evil and BLM == good. This is both a shame as well as stupid, it severely limits the credibility and potential reach of what would otherwise be a non-partisan description of the practices of that data-hog farm named Alphabet.

Scrap those sections and re-publish I'd say. If not, this is a lost cause, just more 'progressive' propaganda.
What's cool with WAL mode is that SQLITE_BUSY won't happen for readers (except very rare scenarios: https://www.sqlite.org/wal.html#sometimes_queries_return_sql...)

One should only expect SQLITE_BUSY for writes (if a writer is already holding the lock, and the busy timeout expires before the other writer releases the lock). So yes, prefer short writes, or adjust your timeout. Generally speaking, SQLITE_BUSY can not be 100% prevented for writes.
Studies show CamelCase is easier to type, which is what the book references. But, studies also show that snake_case is easier to read.

Code will be read more than it will be written, so it should be optimized for the reader.

It just doesn't seem like a great article to me. This is just a type of social issue with no solution, only trade offs and no way to view the counterfactual so we can basically argue whatever we want.

If you want to prove one side of the argument just make an analogy with alcohol.

If you want to prove the other side of the argument then just swap cocaine for alcohol.
It's ideal to look at any such individual study within the broader context of the literature.

The best way I currently know do do that is searching Connected Papers e.g. https://www.connectedpapers.com/main/e29e416fc39cca3195915bb...

And then clicking on derivative works, which leads to this paper (citing the original) which provides much more context on the study, benefits, and downsides to apologies. https://psyarxiv.com/ykxns/ "The psychology of offering an apology: Understanding the barriers to apologizing and how to overcome them"
Building things on Windows by itself is a nightmare in most cases. I use WSL (1, not 2, though either should work) and it build just fine. I rec going that route if you want to do linux-ey development but still keep Windows.
If you really want to see how bad it has gotten, try finding a therapist for a teen. Even in communities where supply is high and demand is (relatively) low, they're all absolutely overwhelmed. When I went looking, ~75% of them were explicitly not taking new clients. Working through the rest, through multiple directories and services, I was denied or simply ghosted ~20 times before I finally found someone. Naturally it was the newest, youngest member of a large practice. She has been great, but the struggle to find her was a real eye opener.

I would agree with this, but Google and Microsoft seem to be dipping their toe into hardware with the former even beginning to design their own chips. Both have the finances to compete, but I suspect they are at least a decade behind Apple in terms of hardware design and supply chain logistics.
