There is a very large area between the absolutes of "all your worldly possessions as cash under your mattress" and all your payment ability as numbers in someone elses database which can be cut off any moment.

Personally I'd recommend (and do) keeping enough months of living expenses in cash somewhere convenient.
The canadian government declared an emergency under the emergencies act. The act enables the government to make any orders or regulations, so there is no need to go through the court.

> Pair programming for integrations or maintenance might be ok, but for new projects that is like having multiple people write a novel. Not only will it be pulled in many directions, it may eliminate some great innovations. Usually one person in the pair also has more influence politically in the company so they get their way.

This feels pretty relatable and sometimes also extends to code review, when another developer essentially goes: "Hmm, i don't like this for subjective reasons, you should rewrite it to be different." even in situations where doing so would have no tangible benefits and the only thing that ends up happening is the development velocity being ruined.

I think that sort of problem would manifest itself both in pair/mob programming, architecture discussions, sprint planning as well as code review, it's not like you can easily avoid it altogether, unless you avoid the people in question entirely or provide pushback against nitpicking and bikeshedding, which may or may not be viable.

Yeah you're right, I think the larger problem is an algorithm that "learns" from the user, it's a positive feedback loop that produces nasty results. A simple ranking algorithm, especially one we can look at, would be interesting.

Something to consider though: even a simple ranking algorithm is going to influence social behavior on the network. I highly doubt most people will use the firehouse feeds with this option, and once you go down this road you begin talking about social impact. It's an interesting experiment, I'm not so averse to it now, but I'm wary of it still.
Yes. The question is now: Is Instagram dying?

Trudeau backed the farmer's protest in India. Those protests were much more deadly.

https://www.timesnownews.com/international/article/when-the-...

Trudeau on protests in India:

> “I would be remiss if I didn’t start by recognising the news coming from India about the protest by farmers. The situation is concerning. We are all very worried about family and friends. We know that’s a reality for many of you. Let me remind you, Canada will always be there to defend the rights of peaceful protesters. We believe in the process of dialogue. We’ve reached out through multiple means to the Indian authorities to highlight our concerns. This is a moment for all of us to pull together,” Trudeau had said in November 2021.

Those were in fact not peaceful

This is whataboutery. At the very least the truckers were an extremely unpleasant and potentially dangerous nuisance for everyone in the vicinity.

At worst were literally attempting regime change. They were also largely funded by the US far right, which has obvious links to Russia. In fact Russian propoganda was encouraging similar actions in the US and the EU.

So of course they were defunded.

It's always amusing to see libertarians complaining that a government shoots first - financially in this case, and only after a long delay - and asks questions later, when they're typically the people claiming loudly that far more extreme forms of violence are always legitimate in personal self-defence.

Just as with Jan 6, most of these people should have been jailed and those from the US should have been banned from entering Canada again.

Never mind the political angle, the nuisance and intimidation were more than enough to justify that.
You could always go the barebones route and generate a mailto: link which contains all the info in the email that you usually send (in text mode of course) but which the admin can send from their personal account with their personal email client.

Go does have some of these features: annotations, enums, JFR. They're just built for features of Go rather than Java. They're not the same but perform similar roles for the Go language. Error handling is subjective but I'm not going to disagree it could use some help. Same with Go's GC in certain situations but nothing I've coded has needed more.

All that said, what makes your list any different than a similar list comparing Java to Blub? I don't see your list as preventing one from writing a Java app in Go using Go's idioms instead. (It can't fully do what Java or C# do.)
Same here, I knew I was being exploited, but didn't care.

Didn't Google once prioritize design? I remember when people would talk about the Google Logo of the day.

The fine article starts with an MS Paint rendering of a woman, whose entire body from the waist up is smaller than the distance from her foot to her knee. The arm hangs down almost to the knee, like an ape. With the small head and long arms it looks like the artist is trying to emphasize how unintelligent the character is, is that possible? Is this an attempt to appeal to people who themselves feel unintelligent, that they might think "if she can do it, I can do it"? Am I reading too much into this, or did Google simply lower their design standards?

This is actually a good suggestion. As a passionate software developer, I realized that artists that learn coding have an edge in game dev for single player games, where the quality of the code is way less relevant.

As a developer but not artist, I have no such edge.

Of course game design is the other big beast.
Autonomous trucks don't need stationary rest so you can halve your fleet number just from higher fleet utilization.

Battery powered trucks are also expected to have lower downtime for maintenance and overhaul, so you can shave off another 5%. Rebuilding an engine and gearbox is an expensive maintenance activity that is completely eliminated, along with brake servicing due to regenerative braking.

Once the charger situation is figured out, probably an overhead catenary and dedicated charging lanes to keep the trucks in motion while charging, the savings will be compelling.
In what world is it easier to fire someone than to fix them? Because in any sort or management I’ve been involved with here in Denmark it’s always the exact opposite.

When you fire someone. You tax HR and yourself with the process both of letting someone go and finding their replacement. You have to pay their salary 3-6 months going forward as well as all the paid vacation they may have saved up. Most importantly you tax your team with the added resource drain of covering the tasks as well as integrating the replacement. You also risk damaging morale, and worse, you risk increasing employee anxiety as even the best employee can have inferiority issues.

That being said, the basic mantra in management should always be that you can get rid of anyone, it’s just a matter of cost. So if you need to fire someone, then you need to fire someone.

Personally I prefer building people to the point where they will leave you themselves, but, that’s a style or management that isn’t present in a lot of companies because it takes a corporate culture that is very hard to maintain in large organisations and require quite a lot of management talent in small organisations. It’s also something that is incredibly hard to do as a single manager if the culture is against you.
I don't have ADHD but I couldn't work 100% pair programming either. It's true, pair programming does an amazing job when it's about knowledge sharing, but I find it exhausting.

If Douglass could've conceived of a world without cash then perhaps he would've mentioned a fourth.

> No.

No.

> You even qualified that later with "if there's good enough light" and "unless you're chasing something moving". No, a D70 won't work well for wedding photography.

I didn't intend to say "You can shoot weddings with a D70s". I just wanted to say, a D70s can take beautiful photos, even today, with today's standards, that's all. Even Nikon didn't position D70s for that kind of action when it was brand new.

> People shot weddings with manual focus lenses too and the D70 is awful for MF lenses from the tiny viewfinder to the lack of support for non-CPU lenses.

As a person who shot MF on both film and D70s, I tend to disagree, but that's not a hill I'd prefer to die on, at least within the borders of this comment box.

> Even within the scope of the F mount the D70 is obsolete — it's incompatible with new E and AF-P lenses.

I think being able to select between this much [0] of lenses is enough for most people.

> Wedding photography is about the most technically challenging, least forgiving (low light, constant motion, spontaneous behavior) type of photography out there.

Sorry, no. I shoot at tango nights. You have much more freedom in weddings. You can use flash, come close, people expect you, etc. A "low light" wedding situation is "what you can expect in a good tango night". You can't use flash, use lenses slower than f/2.2 (or more specifically ~t/2.5), because even a latest generation sensor will just choke, you can't use big lenses and be a distracting element, or come close for any reason. So, no. A wedding is not a piece of cake, but much easier from a technical point of view. Weddings have their problems like the distance/area you have the cover, the equipment you have to carry on you, duration, and storage and energy logistics, I agree, but it's not as challenging in terms of light or camera capabilities.

> ...older digital photographic equipment is obsolete in a professional context while having some utility for hobbyists.

I'd rather rephrase this. Newer photographic equipment is much more capable and makes professionals' life much, much easier. Obsolescence is something different in my eyes, and it's not the same as "not as useful today as of yesterday". Even an analog Pentax MF body is not obsolete in today's photographic world, even for professionals. It might not be their everyday body, but's it's neither useless, nor obsolete.

> As you look at enough of these scenarios, you can back out a common pattern. The main character is trying to do their job effectively, but can’t due to the low performance of a peer. They escalate to the appropriate manager to address the issue, but that manager transforms the performance issue into a relationship issue: it’s not that the peer isn’t performing, it’s just that the two of you don’t like each other. Instead of being the manager’s responsibility to resolve the performance issue, it’s now the main character’s responsibility. By attempting to drive accountability in their peer, the main character has blocked their own progress (“they’re just hard to work with”) without accomplishing anything.

Emphasis mine.

>Getting author information a.k.a. byline relies primarily on either on the correct appearance two attribute=value pairs rel=author or itemprop=author, or a regexp soup matching potential byline matches.

The heuristics are indeed brittle, which is why I had to add:

<span class="work-around-firefox-reader-mode-bug" rel="author">&#8204;</span>

... to my website. Without that, Reader Mode would look for the first HTML element that contained the string "author", assume its content was the name of the author of the article, and make it a byline right below the title. Of course the element it picked was a section header, with the content "Completing an authorization". So not only did I end up with a blog post written by "Completing an authorization", but also the section that was supposed to have that header no longer had a header.

So the hack is to add another element before the website content that it picks instead. &#8204; is a ZWNJ, which I used because Reader Mode is too smart for its own good and will ignore an element that has empty text content or just an NBSP. So a ZWNJ is the next-best thing.

But it's great when it works, and I'm glad it exists. I have JS disabled by default and have lost count of the number of websites that use CSS to hide their content and JS to make it visible. Reader Mode defeats them easily.
This is my understanding as an individual in Germany who is not self-employed: Original documents help you to make or defend against legal claims, so for the time being, I'd keep them during any limitation period which applies. Afterwards that paper is not really useful any more (but keeping a digital copy doesn't hurt). I suggest to find out, which periods apply in your jurisdiction.

In my case, I simply settled for the maximum of all the different periods I encountered and file originals by the year after which I can trash them and use the digitized versions for actually working with them (e.g. my tax declaration is now much faster to do). For Germany, I found that 6 years grace period should be fine. 10 years, if you're self-employed.

It is not. The parent comment compared truckers to Al-Qaeda. I pointed out the ridiculouslness of it.

Those links are not obvious to me at all.

This reminds me of one article I read today.

https://jessicawildfire.substack.com/p/what-the-hell-is-goin...

"Meanwhile, “liberal” mayors around the country are dismantling homeless camps and removing them from public view. They say they’re moving them to shelters, but we know this is bullshit. Experts have called them on this, and they’ve also pointed out the damage it does. Dismantling the camps doesn’t help the homeless. It doesn’t help anyone, really. It simply disperses the homeless and pushes them further away from the help they need. You don’t have to be a genius to figure out their motive. The plan here is to make cities look nice and clean ahead of midterms. Our leaders are not solving our problems. From Covid to poverty, they’re working harder than ever to hide them and cover them up, at our expense."
I use paperless-ng to go mostly paperless, but I keep the paper:

I bought a simple self-incrementing stamp, which I stamp all incoming documents with. When adding the document to paperless-ng, I set the document's number accordingly, and finally I file the paper away purely sorted by ID (so I have a (physical) folder titled 1-101, one 102-231, etc.). When I need the original to a document, the lookup is very fast, and when I know I won't need the original ever again, I don't stamp it and tag it as "digital only" in paperless-ng.

Phenethylamines are fascinating organic compounds and I have a great deal of respect for them.

First, they share the same chemical structure as some of the neurotrasmitters that make us tick: dopamine, adrenaline and noradrenaline among others.

I have taken some of those mentioned in PIHKAL during my experimentation years, mostly MDMA and 2C-I and they taught me a lot about how my brain works and the power of psychedelics when used with care and responsibly. I can't wait for the day when science finds a way to leverage their capacity for deep introspection in psychotherapy and to manage mental pain. I know MDMA was previously used in couples therapy and and now in helping with PTSD.

Lastly, I've recently been diagnosed with ADHD and I'm trialling dexamphetamine, yet another phenethylamine, and it's been life changing the effect it's having on me.

Phenethylamines are pretty cool.
> 64% of U.S. retail website managers have no clear plan for improvement.

I have a feeling that a number approaching 64% of U.S. retail website managers may disagree with this.

They may however have a plan that: Doesn't align with Google; doesn't align with Google's understanding of what they need; isn't understood with Google; or even Google didn't ask that.

Some may indeed not have a plan. Some may not have a plan for very good reason. But I doubt it's 64%. What it is is a cheaply aggressive play for the ears of 'leadership' of organisations with dysfunctional communication or trust.

This is a very misleading headline. The data actually shows that the level of neutralizing antibodies for Omicron in both vaccinated and non-vaccinated with previous Covid exposure is similar (panel D), while not been exposed or vaccinated is much worse. So, yes, it does make a difference if you are unvaccinated and have already caught Covid, almost the same level of protection as if you were vaccinated. Plus, this is an in vitro study done with 59 people, so we absolutely should not draw strong conclusions from it.

Disclaimer: I took three vaccine doses.

2cb was a surprisingly not fun experience. i felt like i was having a heart attack or something the whole time. breathing was hard, my heart felt like it was in my throat the whole time. i find it interesting to read such positive experiences about it.

i didnt realize there are two type of mdma either. those descriptions seems kind of regular. mdma is almost always mind blowing i think.
One was a minimally-invasive surgery that removes old pace maker cables attached to the heart. The alternative would have been to cut up the sternum for a regular open heart surgery. Which is both more taxing on the circulatory system, and takes about half a year to fully heal again.

The other was a "tissue engineered" heart valve. They take a human donor valve, and over the course of a few weeks remove the human cells in some kind of soap bath, only the collagen matrix remains. This reduces rejection to basically zero, and allows the patient to live without immune suppressants for the rest of their lives.

Alternatives would be a regular human valve (+ immune suppressants indefinitely), animal valves (same problem) or artificial valve (typically don't last for longer than 10 years, and always has increased risk of persistent settlement with bacteria, so need to take antibiotics for every minor thing).

(sorry, medical English is really hard for me, hope this makes sense; if not, feel free to ask).

Earthly uses Dockerfile style syntax so I don't have to learn a new language, I can leverage my existing knowledge.

Another advantage is that in Earthly I can run up a docker compose within my pipeline so that I have selenium, envoy and postgres running for integration testing.
