There is no default, until recently it always showed both the reduced and full price, but you always had to manually select what you want on the 2nd screen.

Anyway, I'm neither German nor Swiss, but I think there are certain prejudices about both countries. Germans might look to save money, but realistically everybody needs to plan their trip somewhat in advance, unless it's a short weekend trip. I made the mistake recently of not booking my train from Switzerland in advance because I didn't know when I exactly need to go and figured what the hell, I'll just buy it when I figure it out. Big mistake, almost everything was booked out, and I barely made it home.

Also, SBB likes to complain about DB, and there might be truth to some criticism, but realistically the two companies don't solve the same problems, in terms of passenger count, distances traveled and overall complexity.
> This... doesn't make sense. Spending is selling. You're just selling for something other than currency.

When you go to the shop and you buy something with money, do you consider that as "SELLING your money"?

This is the nuance I was getting at. When I can use Bitcoin to buy stuff it will be widely accepted and valued as money. By the time that's possible, how much do you expect its purchasing power will have appreciated?

> And saying "it's not an investment, it's a savings" is nonsense. If Bitcoin didn't appreciate in value no one would use it as "savings" because it would lose value relative to inflation.

Of course, but it IS appreciating in value against fiat. Why do you think that is? Could it be that fiat is literally designed to be inflationary and Bitcoin is designed to be disinflationary for over a hundred years?
A small bank or S&L that services the loan after issuing is more likely to issue the mortgage. And it’s more likely to benefit the community compared to a big bank. Worked for me.
Eh, it depends on the features that you're using. As long as you stick to the basic stack of Terraform + Kubernetes / IaaS with cloudinit + networking + S3-compatible storage API, you can quite easily jump between clouds. Sure, the logic that sets them up is different, but the concepts are generally roughly the same. Even if I end up choosing a managed service, I always implement a second OSS backend that gets regularly tested.

Every day I deal with AWS, Google Cloud and Oracle Cloud. Previously I used DigitalOcean and OVH. I have no issues onboarding people to work with the less popular options - as long as they get how Kubernetes / Linux / containers work, it's pretty good.
Would you say The Recognitions is readible? I've wanted to read it for a while but it felt intimidating and it was lumped into the 'post modern' category in book stores etc which has made me afraid it's one of those samuel beckett-esque books where they just repeat the same word or phrase for pages and pages (maybe meaningful through some lens but also somewhat nonsense and not really worth my limited time). I read a few pages of The Recognitions and it seemed pretty novel-y so I feel like it might be not too bad. What's your take (reviews I've read doesn't give me a satisfying answer)?
Early 2000's I was in school as a teenager and reading about feminism. It looked to me very obvious, even before that, the oppression of women, and the need to stop it, alongside all violence - which demanded consciousness and dialog. I tried to advertise the concept to the females in my classroom, and with only 1 or 2 exceptions they ridiculerized me and feminism, and some even told me I was a "fag" or some equivalent. I would tell them that the "level of emancipation of women in a society is also a measure to this society's general level of emancipation" [0], and they would reply: "ok, nerd. why would you even care if you are a man, supposedly?". I'm pretty glad with the deep advances we've been able to produce since then. Love produces love, and vice-versa - and that's universally desireable. On our way to Harmonia[1].

I would think "calling out" is, or often takes the form of, exactly the type of bad faith communication that this article is trying to argue against (possibly categorised under "Undue social pressure" or "Villainization").

Engaging in a good-faith argument, especially with those you often agree with, yes. "Calling out" - I'd be hesitant about that.
"Centrism" is every bit as real as "right wing" or "left wing", both positions also defined in different contexts by what is to the left/right of them. And people can be as genuinely enthusiastic in principle and detail about "a market, but a heavily regulated one" as they can about "the government has no business interfering in markets" or "private profiteers can't be allowed to exploit this resource". Or indeed hold a particular "right wing" or "left wing" position purely because they believe that agreeing with their tribe or expressing the appropriate degree of vehemence of disagreement with the other tribes makes them more virtuous.

There's a certain amount of irony in dismissing a
entire range of political opinion as uniquely susceptible to "trying to argue they're morally superior without engaging with the actual subject matter" under an article about bad faith communication.
There's no mention of accepting interlaced video inputs. Does it?
I have no idea what the break down of the market is, but there are a lot of trucks that never drive 'long haul'. Right now I'm seeing more and more electric trucks on the road making deliveries. They generally go from depots 10-20 miles outside of the city to into the city and deliver to a bunch of stores and business, and then back to the depot, where they can charge while waiting for the next load. That sort of work is perfect for electric trucks.

Just want to highlight how futuristic the author's title is: "Computational Biologist, Head of Protein Design @ Enzymit".

Why they moved to on-prem: lower and more predictable cost. At a public cloud provider, they lost thousands of dollars (of free credit they had) through "architectural blunders". And the running cost of GPU, CPU, storage, and data transfer summed up to $10K a month - at which point they figured they might as well purchase their own compute servers.
I think there are valid reasons why people don't trust science. It's not that we think scientists are malice, it's just they can be lazy and incompetent like people in other careers. In addition, incentives are clear in industry, they are either not clear or completely broken in academia, so the quality of their work is too much dependent on their integrity.
The irony is that he's arguing more towards individualism, but then ends with the most collectivist urging that there is: "Don't like it - join a union".

I agree, I think it's also likely that in many scenarios bad faith communication is more successful in the short term. You can appeal to a persons emotions, disparage the person making the argument, exclude nuance to make simple memorable statements, etc. Which is where I struggle with settling on a strategy for dealing with it (and trying to prevent myself from doing it), since so much of our lives are geared towards/optimised for short term results
> What if you want to swap two large memory blocks?

In theory, maybe.

But if that happens in your application and is performance critical, you probably should change it such that you're swapping pointers to them instead...
I’ve had a good number of jobs in 20+ years in software. I have had a private office four times.

Once when the business unit was failing and my room only had me in it.

Once when I worked for a small old school family company.

Once when I made principal engineer after years of work in a large-ish company.

And finally now that I’m working from home.

One job I had was really noisy and distracting. Rather than install sound mitigation, I found out the CEO liked it that way. “So it sounded like things were happening.”

It’s going to take a lot to get me back to a cube farm or open office.
Remember CGA with a maximum resolution of 640×200 in two color mode or 320x200 at four color mode?

It was also supported in Windows, and given that Windows also kept a separate copy of the menubar as part of every window's chrome, they could have really called it Microsoft Window.

The need for a user interaction method that works at such a low resolution is the origin of Windows users expecting a UI that keeps every Window maximized.

I've seen similar issues with postcodes as well, though it seems to have got better:

Or even, type "LS2 9JT" and get an error because it does not like that you did add the space.
This book doesn't cover hexagonal architecture but I found it clearer and less verbose than the blue book. The first half of the book is on strategy and emphasizes its importance. It's a way of thinking that you can use with any architecture. It also makes it clear that only a subset of your system is suitable for DDD (not the CRUD bits for example).

I'd say don't even consider colo unless you have a specific use case. Rented dedicated servers are cheap, let someone else take care of the hardware.
It's a bit more common in C when swapping pointers, since it can help you ensure that there's only one pointer to a given structure at any time, and it can simplify memory management in certain cases by letting you repurpose an existing allocation.

Why it happened to Taibbi I am unsure, but Greenwald has often resorted to bad faith callouts, before and after his "excommunication". I remember his Iraq war era blogging and uncharitable paraphrasing was pretty common. I just didn't care at the time because I was also antiwar.
You seem to believe your views preempt those of your students’ parents.

You are exactly the type of educator this law is intended to target — quite necessarily, as your comments demonstrate.

> We are expected to help kids express their own opinions and keep those confidences.

You should not be keeping secrets from students’ parents in the first place.

You are not the parent; it is not your call.

> Outing some trans kids is going to get them thrown out on the street by their parents, beaten, or worse.

Actual abuse is illegal. Report it through proper channels.

You do not get to usurp parental authority simply because you think some parents won’t agree with your politics.
None of that surprises me. It's the first country to ever adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. Of course there are going to be technical teething issues.

And the % adoption is unsurprising too. It's going to take years, probably decades, to build trust in Bitcoin.

No one in the right mind thinks Bitcoin is just going to take over all economic activity within checks watch SEVEN MONTHS. You have to be realistic.

But all that being said, in combination with the Lightning protocol it's still proving itself useable as a currency in several examples now.
>Pythagoras did not discover the theorem - it dates back to the Egyptians or Babylonians, and it was written of in a fairly extensive manner in India hundreds of years before Pythagoras as well.

Ah, see viewpoints like these are why I suppose I take offense to the whole gist of this entire conversation.

Pythagoras absolutely did discover the theorem. Unless you can provide evidence that he was aware or attributed it to other regions or mathematicians? The Egyptians and Babylonians also discovered it as well. Convergent discoveries can occur. Your main notion is (I presume) about who discovered it first. Which is arguably somewhat of an important nomenclature.

But then let me ask you this:

How much weight can we attribute to the significance of this discovery to the Egyptians and Babylonians? When its Pythagoras' pupils and followers, benefactors and historians, who put his theorem to practical application and developed it further? Do we value the man who discovered the wheel, or the man who realized he could take that wheel, duplicate it, put a shaft between, and cart more things around? What about the man who taught others to do that?

Pythagoras was part of an institution of like minded thinkers which educated the ancient world (if you want to get pedantic, they were glorified tutors to rich kids, but they still got paid to think and spread their knowledge nonetheless). Their preserved writings arguably lay the foundations of western thought. That by itself, in my opinion, lends quite a lot of weight to the importance of his attribution to the discovery of the theorem, and why I feel like you've slighted Pythagoras more than you realize.

I've implemented lots of sorting algorithms and have never found the XOR trick useful or faster. The main use was on very register constrained 8 bit machines but I haven't programmed on anything like that in assembly for years.

Still, it's a neat trick.

I beg to differ. Stuttgart 21 underground train station [1]: Estimated cost 2009: €4.5 billion. Estimated cost 2022: Over €9 billion. Estimated start of operation: Six years later than anticipated (2025, or 15 years after construction started).

Another, recent example: German Cyber Threat Reporting Center that is supposed to report cyber threats to NATO is still not operational after five years and €60 million. Admittedly, not on a billion dollar scale, but the example shows how even a relatively simple task like creating reports is plagued by overruns.

Aye, the ideal goal of disussion shouldn't be to persuade in my opinion, but to explore each other's ideas with the aim of modifying and improving each position. I think the process of doing that happens to be the best way to actually get people to go along with something also.

The main point is that language you use to talk business should be used to write code. I don't get how using ubiquitous language can slow down the projects.

It does not work like that. Business share their lanaguage with you, not other way around.

Most important thing in DDD is Domain Expert. He's the cental point of strategic DDD. If you don't have one, then you either have CRUD app (which you shouldn't use DDD for - stick with ADM) or you can just use something called "DDD Lite" which is often referred to as "OOP done right".

Also, main problem w DDD (or any architectural approach) is that you have to make biggest architectural decisions when you basically have the least amount of knowledge about the system/problem.

...isn't that just remembering?
As we see in Wuhan, a virus can be devastating no matter if it escapes from a research facility, a wet market or a deliberate bioweapon. That was the primary concern of Tulsi Gabbard.

In Ukraine, matters are exacerbated by the fact that these research facilities, according to the left wing newspaper The Guardian, were U.S. funded:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/11/russia-biologi...

Ukraine does operate biological laboratories that receive US funding. The US undersecretary of state Victoria Nuland affirmed those facts in a Senate foreign relations committee hearing this week, in which the Republican senator Marco Rubio asked directly if Ukraine had biological weapons.

Given the politically unstable situation in February 2022 and earlier, people like Greenwald and Gabbard simply point out that Putin will view this as a provocation, same as the Nuland/Graham involvement in the revolution in 2014.

Most people who are called Putin apologists are simply doing one thing: They know that Putin is a bully with 6,000 nuclear weapons, so they try to understand his thinking and possible reactions. As we see now, they were right in many ways.
Another disturbing pattern I've noticed is that a lot of newer command-line programs refuse to have a proper man page. Instead, they put massive dumps of preformatted text behind one of those --help flags, which has several obvious issues. In the worst of cases, the text also uses colours, with no way to remove them without piping the output thru a sed filter.

In my experience DDD works best when using minimal frameworks where you are free to implement most of the architecture. If you are using an opinionated ORM like Django or Rails, applying DDD can easily lead to adding layers of abstraction for the sake of it.

Ultimately, DDD is just another tradeoff, and it comes with a hefty price tag that imo is not worth it for small companies. It's not going to magically prevent your developers from delivering buggy or unstable software, and it's not going to teach your product team how to write proper requirement documents.
I think nobody actually expected it to be pumped this high or go this far in pricing. So many likely realised the gains at much lower prices...

You can use Directory.Build.targets, and Directory.Build.props to have shared build targets/properties—including package references. When building MSBuild will keep checking parent directories until it finds those files and imports them.
