Zero-sum bridge burning makes sense sometimes. But a career is rarely fully zero-sum. You likely need a reference, may have stock options dependent upon improvement, want a job offer X years later from a colleague making the new hotness, etc. I've given references for mercenary folks, but always with that asterisk, which is a Career Limiting Move.

What about the Biden administration itself being responsible for cornering Putin with talk of Ukraine joining NATO, which Putin stated many times was a red line. Furthermore, US had agreed to not push NATO farther east, but its actions were in complete opposition to that agreement.

Biden administration has cornered themselves as well into an unnecessary conflict with little chance of an exit ramp. Dangerous stuff.

> Disable spotlight for everything except what you want to use it for

My friend's mac would "take off" (fan spun up crazy fast) after every boot/login and I disabled full-text search of documents to fix it. There was probably a weird, maybe not-to-spec pdf/docx on the filesystem that spotlight couldn't parse and got stuck. Kinda dumb that it would waste a 100% usage on one CPU core for a couple minutes every boot though.
you know it's bad if they are already trying to get out in front of the numbers with propagandized slogans to shift blame

the real irony is people saying this is evidence we need to shift to "green energy", when almost all the key components for that come from China rather than Russia. Even if we make the shift, the end result will be the same in 20 years where China has huge leverage due to countries being reliant on them for energy

handlebars-helpers falls under my last sentence. The linked thread is literally with the guy who wrote is-odd.
There are a number of other western countries that have private healthcare systems. The difference between their and ours is tight regulation and cost controls, often combined with a robust public option for the unemployed to fall back on.
By definition, low taxes are not a subsidy. It is the trains that are heavily subsidized. The main reason behind the price difference is that there is plenty of competition between airlines for a given flight, eg Paris-Berlin, but no competition for the same train connection.

You are absolutely right in terms of resume credential, but in terms of engineering experience I don't think it's so cut and dried. The ability to work on large systems, and access to mentorship is unparalleled, but you also miss out on end-to-end perspective and how to focus on solving the most critical problem in the simplest way. FAANG has some of the best talent in the world (if you're lucky enough to be able to work with them), but it is also has many smart but unmotivated clock punchers who would struggle to execute without the world-class tooling and resources that they take for granted.

Working for a smaller, fast-growing company will give you faster feedback loops, and a closer connection to the business that will give you a broader perspective on what is truly necessary vs FAANG best practices for scale. Ironically this makes you more fit for leadership because you can then see patterns which repeat themselves in all companies, but are obfuscated by specialization and huge org sizes. By contrast, if you join a big company you'll get better at the corporate jargon and cultural games, but you won't have the same visceral understanding of what really matters and why.

Retro forums that focus on specific systems (eg, C64 development, NES development, DOS development...) tend to be pretty good as they draw people who are interested in developing for more limited hardware and as such don't mind going deep on technical topics. For more up to date discourse I'm not too sure. Maybe TIGSource forums?
The pace of productivity increases in manufacturing is increasing faster than pace of increase in demand. This is similar to what was happing in agriculture around 1900-1930 or so when 90% of the country farmed. When/if manufacturing comes back it will be much more automated, it will be much less labor intensive.
I suspect it may be biological. As social-creatures, I don't think we are wired (by default) to ignore people who disagree with us. From my non-expert perspective, not being oblivious to people who disagreed with us on certain things may have served well from an evolutionary perspective.

An ad absurdum case: would you find it easy to ignore people who thought drought management laws were a joke and should be ignored? Maybe it depends on where you live.

What about people who disagreed that rape was a bad thing and should be punished?

I know these are extremes, but I think it's reasonable to say that there is a spectrum of disagreements we are willing to tolerate. Not to mention that our recent history is filled with some rather deadly disagreements...

Historically, I image those who ignored their brand of Brutus may have received the Darwinian knife to the back.

Rail infrastructure is very expensive compared to planes.
An airport is expensive, but once you've built it you're pretty much immediately connected to half the world. With a train station, you need a track to each surrounding stations, maintain them, and so on. Also, train doesn't scale down as well, it quickly becomes inefficient for the less dense routes.

People are talking about subsidies (by not taxing fuel for instance) for planes, but trains are also directly subsidised to the tune of billions each year. The rail network just costs a ton to build and maintain.
So it’d be super stressful if you run into people who are like “yeah they did a pretty good job I’m satisfied. Not the most amazing clothes ever but I’ll wear them. 3 stars”?

That’s exactly the type of person I was before I became a dev and learned about these insane algorithms. As someone else on this post said 3 star - good 4 star - great 5 star - absolutely amazing perfect service! went above and beyond
Insurance does exist outside the employer. I've been self-employed all my life, so I've been purchasing my own insurance without an employer for about 20 years. I used to go directly to a company like Aetna or Blue Shield to buy my coverage, now I go to healthcare.gov once a year to pick a plan.
I believe I understand your point better.

From the person you're responding to:

> Yes, those standards that produced a safety regime of 20 years of flights without software being even implicated in a single fatality. ...

> As you note, unfortunately the standards as employed in practice have recently regressed dramatically to allow a system as unsafe as the 737 MAX to fly. ...

Your point, if I'm not mistaken, being that the FAA has clearly allowed for less stringent regulations in recent years. (Please correct me if I'm wrong. You can ask questions but it does not seem that they lead so immediately to the answers you expect.)

That being said, please consider that I am genuinely trying to understand you:

> I'm all for a dissenting opinion, but when it is not presented in an understandable way the discussion becomes hard to follow.
Those might be the interesting results, though, referred to?
It's more like floating the insurance company. The employer would never directly pay these things.
Bus networks are a pretty decent solution as well. Rail is very expensive and there's not that many regions where you can operate it economically. In particular with electrical busses becoming better you can shift a lot of traffic away from personal vehicles on existing infrastructure.
A lot of time those tracks are already paid for by freight trains.

The track tax is just what governments choose to do - especially since cargo trucks barely pay any road access tax.
The purpose of this demo is to show off three features of the new Supabase Realtime.

- Broadcast: Cursor movements and messages (floating bubbles next to cursors) sent directly to other players in the room.

- Presence: Whenever someone joins the room, you'll be able to see that person represented as a colored circle in the upper right hand cover. When they leave, then their circle disappears.

- Change Data Capture / Replication: When a player sends a message, that message is inserted into the database, and that change is then broadcast to all players in the room. You can see these message in the chat box in the lower right hand corner.

- Latency: You can see how long it takes your client to send a message to the nearest node in the cluster and have the node respond with a message. This will vary depending on your internet.

Was hoping for something a little deeper than "Personal projects", "blog", "read books", and "go to relevant conferences". But then I noticed it was written by a content marketer and not a 'Brain-Based AI' engineer.

I wonder how many members of their team have a background similar to what this article suggests (rather than PhDs and MScs in the field).

Edit: Didn't have to wonder too long, they're hiring interns and would like PhD students with a history of publishing at relevant conferences. So they themselves wouldn't hire an intern based on their own advice!
Alright, well I guess I'll take your comment as an attempt at a real conversation. But fraud in the medical industry isn't really something that crosses my mind, nor is it part of my concern about the government dictating my healthcare.
I never got used to it after a year. I wasn't even a "new" Mac user as I'd previously used Jaguar/Panther/Tiger/Leopard as well as Classic and even NeXTStep. But while those were better than XP time has marched on and I don't feel like MacOS improved enough compared to the competition (with regards to window management). If anything should have been Sherlocked it should have been rectangle/magnet etc.

I also feel like Apple cripples mice, it's a very trackpad centered workflow and if you're not using one it suffers. Also they really need to have a separate mouse scroll toggle built in.
We did the same thing back a few years ago, and were able to move about 95% of online shopping on Amazon Prime onto other platforms or local BnMs.

Probably most of the social good you do is the paid work for your tech job. Unless you work at some social-harm-causing company. Giving to charity is nothing compared to giving up most of your life's limited capacity to do high-value productive work. It's easy to forget that work is mostly really really good for the people you're doing the work for or their customers or someone down the chain who's ultimately paying you.
sadly my original nihilist prediction of 10%+ inflation by Q4 is starting to seem more meritous every month.

the efforts to incept quantitative tightening as of April are...bad comedy. The federal reserves one quarter of one pecent increase of the prime interest rate is a performance art. it has absolutely no ability to control inflation in any context. The real solution, 3-5% interest, is suicide as it would blow up the already shaky corporate credit bubble which is over-leveraged in empty office buildings post-covid. the honeymoon from last december of downplaying the issue as 'transient' inflation is over. Unchecked inflation and sky high gas prices have the very real potential to defenestrate whole sectors of the US economy predicated on summer travel and spending. other options include increasing minimum wage, which is a third-rail for neoliberal capitalism it seems, or works projects, which were torpedoed some time ago by apparently just a single senator.

this isnt solely foreign policy to blame. its a QE addiction stretching all the way back to 2008 the fed has tried and failed to treat.
It's a rare normal punishment for any single crime. But it's a pretty common escalation for repeated failure to cooperate with the system. A ticket for speeding or running a stop sign might be just a fine. But if you start no-showing your court dates, not making the payments, keep raking up more moving violations without properly resolving any of them, then you might find your license getting suspended.

The train feels more civilized.

You can afford to have a bit more space to sit, wider aisles to walk and can fit a much nicer kitchen.

Bigger tables too so you can spread out your work/shopping/food.

If you haven’t tried train food before I highly recommend it. It’s stereotypically good in the same way plane food is stereotypically bad.
Not to stop the war, but to degrade Russia's ability to prosecute it and any future aggression. We should be doing everything that stays short of the nuclear trigger to destroy Putin's war machine.
There is a "baseline" provided by the state, and the employer health insurance adds extra coverage.
Acceleration is a vector. A vector is magnitude and direction. "Down" is a direction. If there's no acceleration, there's no "down". That there is no acceleration in "zero g" is a critical difference between "falling" and "zero g" in this context. Therefore, they aren't the same.

I am an IC developing things in .Net Core MVC and now Blazor for a manufacturing company. I'm the only dev, compensation is decent and I work whenever I want for the most part.

They're all levers, interconnected. Pull one lever and many others are slightly tugged as well.

"Putin Price hike" is just alliteration, its not scapegoating everything on Putin, its reducing the expected constriction of energy on the market to the geopolitical catalyst in response to Putin's actions. This constriction is not nearly as heavy as it could be, with mostly just a few large US/EU private sector companies choosing not to trade Russian oil and gas right now. The oil and gas is not sanctioned right now. Even this explanation is the beginning of a dissertation that will be irrelevant in a few weeks, so it might make more sense why a reductive 3 word phrase is chosen.

Of course they're going to get away with this. It is politically unfavorable to say "our actions rose gas prices". If the media is operating in your favor just go for it.

If you wanted an indication that some actual humans understood the doublespeak, well now you know that I do, and largely don't care. I follow the macroeconomic environment pretty closely, politicians are a lever too.

Where I'm currently at is that Biden/the US taking action to try to flood the market with their oil reserves and bring down prices is going to be mostly show, as the oil reserves will just need to be topped up again and very quickly. So this means supply and demand for oil has not changed at all, not even in the near term. The market via oil prices is still digesting what the price should be in light of Russian's actions and has not finished even doing that, with an initial overreaction (margin call) and just settling in the $93/barrel range for now. I don't think US oil reserves, for example, is having any effect on that. Just a small tangent to show how I think, in light of political speak which I consider benign and not relevant enough to be as passionate about as you are.

I wouldn't go so far as to say there wasn't much purpose for the ground troops in the context of the goal of eliminating Iraqi military capabilities. It involved some of the largest tank battles in US history such as the Battle of Norfolk and the Battle of the 73 Easting. While we look back at some of these as a steam roll in hindsight, the truth is the engagements were larger than most of the armor battles in WW2 involving the US.

The marine advancement in to Kuwait that was part of a larger multi-national push that much of the Iraqi forces were running from. The push by 1st Inf Div, 2nd ACR, and others on the west was to cut off that retreat.

Combat theaters are large and it is never a good idea to take a narrow view of them and generalize it to the whole. The father of my childhood friend used to tell us how his deployment in Vietnam as an MP was some of the best time in his life. He spent his entire time on a post relatively far from the fighting largely killing his time trying to surf and eat BBQ.

> By definition, low taxes are not a subsidy.

The conspicuous lack of Pigouvian taxes on a fossil fuel for just one industry is definitely a subsidy. Someone else is paying for the externalities.
The gap here is that employer paid plans are subsidized by the employer, who uses them as a tax write off, making un-subsidized plans much more expensive in comparison
Here in Germany, for as long as I can remember, the government praises itself every year for investing as much in rail as never before. I have not noticed the service quality to change for the better over the last 15 years. The ever-rising investments seem to be only enough to keep the status quo of the crumbling infrastructure.
France has private supplementary insurance programs in addition to the state run health insurance program.

A good corollary in the US is Medicare: everybody over 65 can enroll in Medicare Part A for free, but you can also choose Part B, Part D, and "medigap" coverage, each of which is optional and has a monthly premium.
I wonder if anyone hears Psaki or others say "Putin Price Hike" without thinking "a bunch of lying politicians" since Putin's craziness came long after the printing of money.

What are people doing with their computers that a Mac is so stifling? I'm late to the Mac game, have been on it for about a decade, and was a 15-year Windows and Linux desktop user before that. Still, I don't even know what it might be.
I've had a long background of Windows and Linux usage but I've used MacOS a significant time as well - I'm daily driving a 2018 MacBook Pro 15 and use a Windows Desktop for WFH because it's much more powerful an silent. And I'm also developing on .NET core right now which is a Microsoft tech.

With that said I would say MacOS grows on you. On my 34 inch screen using snapping is just not practical - I just move windows around and have plenty of visual space and can quickly move my head to move attention to a different window, find other windows through overlaps - I prefer this to tabbing - and this is when working on my Windows desktop.

Returning to Windows after not regularly using it for last 3 years it's sad to see that the UI has regressed with Windows 11. For example windows had system calendar app that would connect to the system calendar in the bottom right and show event previews for the day and you could click on the day and get day summaries, sort of like Itsycal but built in. They removed this in Windows 11.

I think MacOS is strictly better for most of my use cases :

- The new right click UI is clunky and obviously touch optimized, most of the OS is going this way and it's shit for desktop usability

- Dark mode support is hit-and-miss, much better in MacOS

- PowerToys Run doesn't work reliably at all compared to Mac CMD + Space which works without a hiccup

- chocolatey is garbage compared to homebrew

Where Windows beats MacOS for me :

- Docker performance is much much better

- WSL/linux integration is fairly nice (using OpenSuSe rolling release to get relevant software, Ubuntu LTS they provide is ancient)
