This makes perfect sense to me, in a world where oligarchs are having their assets seized without due process. This de-risks any largesse the elites may accumulate through legitimate means or otherwise.

I doubt that the health of the country's economy was top of mind for this decision.

Please (and this goes to anyone trying to do similar work in the "social" space[1]): make sure that users have the ability to turn off post indexing if they desire (at least for people they haven't approved to "follow" them). The ability to pore over and leer at every other comment that any given person has made that day (let alone for the last N years) is _not_ something you are given in any ordinary "kitchen-table discussion". It's also not how old-style communication used to work on the Internet (e.g. mailing lists, before everything turned into the show business[2] of self-promotion). For some reason, though, "social" has come to be synonymous with the design trope of here's everything I've said, ordered reverse chronologically for pretty much anyone's perusal, regardless of their relationship with me. I'm convinced that this shift to actor-based indexing rather than the original concern for topic-based indexing has contributed greatly to the toxicity of online discussion.

22% of gross income -- which actually seems quite high, considering our income level.
> If online works for you, awesome. Enjoy! There are great resources out there. But I don’t think you are in the majority.

I think this is exactly it.

In person never worked for me. I was bored - and being bored I ended up with “discipline issues.” I would never do my homework, never pay attention in class, was always late because I was talking in between sessions, etc. My teachers weren’t a fan, the administrators weren’t fans, parents were upset.

Every year, starting in 2nd grade, at the end of the school year I was given “token” exercises as a way of getting passing grades so I wouldn’t be held back. I’d knock those out and continue on. At the time I was thankful to the instructors for giving me that opportunity. In retrospect I’m fairly confident I know why that happened.

Every year we were administered state achievement exams. The school was evaluated based on the students performance on these tests. While I was failing every subject, I carried the class (scoring at least 10% higher on the exam than the next highest grade) every year. Holding me back would have raised quite a few questions about their curriculum.

Fast forward to 12th grade. I drop out of in-person school and switch to online. My in-person school refuses to release my records (we owed them money) so I was starting 12th grade with no credits. The online program was self paced. I knocked out 3 years of eduction in 3 months. Then turned 18, walked downtown and took the GED instead of finishing the last year.

Self paced education is huge for certain people. Every once in a while I think of all the kids in the world who could achieve so much with their youth, but instead they are strapped to a chair being tortured 7+ hours a day by well intentioned adults.
A heat pump. Instead of using power to heat a room, you're using a (relatively) small amount of power to move heat from outside into the room.
I think you'll see the same thing wherever people have complex problems and they consult people with an individual profit motive. Car repair, for example. Or alternative "medicine" things like chiropractors. Some of the people will be legit. Some will be frauds. And in the middle you have a bunch of people who don't intend to be frauds but that just hill-climb their way to good businesses but aren't skilled and disciplined enough to measure the value of their interventions.

I suspect the same is true of people getting contract development done. Given the number of horror stories I've heard and the number of terrible code bases I've had to clean up, I'd guess the custom-software industry is no better than dentistry or car repair.
I'm on the same boat. Although I probably won't write games professionally, considering the golden time of game development was long gone, Romero and Carmack's early stories inspire me a lot.

I especially love the early story of ID, before Romero left. That was probably one if the greatest teams a technical person can be.

Yep, it's like the Rocketdyne F-1 Engine[1], the heart of the Saturn Booster for Apollo. Drawings exist, NASA documented everything... but the processes that were used were manual, and people with the requisite skills don't exist anymore. The materials used have far better modern replacements. The thing barely held together without blowing itself up.

It's far better to use a newer engine that's in production now if you want to get into space. The plans NASA had were to develop reusable rockets in the 1970s, before their funding was slashed.

They run this down as best they can (TLDR they don't think the skills have enough information about their personas to target ads to them, therefore Amazon must be doing the targeting, but they can't 100% rule it out):

> In contrast, skills can only rely on persona’s email
address, if allowed permission, IP address, if skills con-
tact non-Amazon web services, and Amazon’s cookies, if
Amazon collaborates with the skills, as unique identifiers to
reach to personas. Though we allow skills to access email
address, we do not log in to any online services (except
for Amazon), thus skills cannot use email addresses to
target personalized ads. Skills that contact non-Amazon web
services and skills that collaborate with Amazon can still
target ads to users. However, we note that only a handful (9)
of skills contact few (12) advertising and tracking services
(Table 1 and Figure 2), which cannot lead to mass targeting.
Similarly, we note that none of the skills re-target ads to
personas (Section 5.3), which implies that Amazon might
not be engaging in data sharing partnerships with skills.
Despite these observations, we still cannot rule out skills
involvement in targeting of personalized ads.

You can't do that, the permissions system isn't flexible enough, and the system will fight you.

The article author is Testing in PROD

when you acknowledge this, then continuing your advice with

setenforce 0

is a spectacularly bad idea. You can make individual domains permissive using

semanage permissive -a ${context}

and then run the failing test using only that permissive domain.

Of course, the story becomes much more complicated if the failing test requires type transitions -- but blanket advising people to put an entire PROD system in permissive mode is not a good idea.
Go's runtime was never specifically about performance either. The runtime scheduler main intentions were

- Parallel execution / multiple threads.

- Handling of blocking system call and network I/O.

- Handling of blocking user level (on channel) calls.

- Scalability.
OOOOooooooohhh this one's really drawing a lot of damage control. Simple anecdotal evidence was enough to convince me and many other people years ago that Google and Amazon, at the very least, were spying in every way possible. Why wouldn't they? Users have technically agreed to all data collection anyway. It simply doesn't make sense to not collect data, if there is an option to.
You're correct in that my idea for ever telling that in person involves standup. It doesn't present very well outside of that setting, as you surmised
The interesting part about this is that you'll also likely see a NP or physician's assistant, who, at best, "google" (uptodate) your symptoms if the case isn't obvious. Sometimes doctors will do the intake appointment and fail to tell you that any follow-ups are done with their "trained" NP.

And then be billed 400-800$. Such an incredible system!

I also gave up going to physicians with a chronic illness. They're in and out in five minutes, and just ramble off the top two treatments from uptodate. If it's a surgeon, they'll try to sell you on surgery or a diagnostic procedure to "re-validate" the diagnosis (conveniently to generate a trivial 10K for the hospital in a few hours). If you want anything beyond that or to have a discussion, good luck.
> It may be a win on short term but do you see any parts for Mac machines there?

Not yet. But I'm pretty sure they are heading down that path as well. They sell a lot more iPhones so it probably makes sense to go that route first. I disagree with your starting point of really awful cynicism, especially given that Apple has a demonstrated track record (albeit sometimes slow and despite their initial intentions) of doing environmentally friendly things. They don't have to power their operations via renewable energy, or build products made of recycled metals. "Fall for Apple's propaganda"? Sorry I'm not buying the negative case.
Just today the bbc said you can say 100 pound plus. Sigh. Any executive summary of which is fake.
I'm biased but there is a better way. Give developers a high performance method programmatically manipulating the cache key from JavaScript. That's what we created with EdgeJS: https://docs.layer0.co/guides/caching It's less work to write and higher performance than dealing with edge functions or worker for routine tasks like this.
It may seem stupid to you, because you only consider saving a few keystrokes. The keyword exist to guarantee stability/contract of compile-time-compatible APIs.

A change of an implementation detail in some leaf function (that happens to add a run-time dependency) should not accidentally break execution of another function elsewhere (possibly in a different downstream project) that happened to work as compile-time before that.

Note that compilers are still free to execute pure functions opportunistically at compile time, but it's just not guaranteed.
What the hell is a power strip doing that needs 10w!?!? Did they find some outrageously inefficient bulb to put behind the switch?

I only use Google to learn more about procedures, not to convince me to get said procedure. When my coworker and I got into a conversation about LASIK vs PRK, I found a Hacker News thread on Google that had discussed SMILE surgery as an alternative to both. I'll defer to my optometrist when I speak to him later this year and see what he suggests and what he knows because I know I can't trust Google to give me the type of answers I am looking for.
> The main problem with rendering in both the client and server environments using the same code is that you need to fetch data in two different places.

`getStaticProps` and `getServerSideProps` _only_ run on the server – it's possible we're conflating "rendering" with "data fetching" here. You fetch the data on the server, and send pre-rendered HTML to the browser. You can, of course, also do client-side data fetching (e.g. `useEffect`) as you mentioned.

> Stuff like Next should be the 3rd tool in your arsenal after client and static rendering.

The philosophy of Next.js is that client, static rendering, _and_ server rendering have a place. For certain application holotypes, you might want all static. For others, all server-rendered. Next.js doesn't care - it allows you to choose which strategy you want on a per-page (e.g. route) basis.

This allows you to not have to eject from the framework because your /contact pages wants to be static, while the /dashboard part of your site is server or client rendered. It also helps for incremental adoption.

For you, no risk seems acceptable when it comes to security. That is generally not the case for most people, who will accept some level of risk (ie an insecure program) if it provides value to them. That's the whole point of risk management.

I know Amazon isn't doing a whole helluva lot with the data they're collecting on me via their UI nor their devices; if they were, I would have a lot better recommendations than they offer to me on the regular. Yes, recommendation engines are hard, but Amazon has the computational power, resourcing, and data to do it well, yet they're simply not.

So. For now, I'm fairly convinced the data collected are useless/meaningless and I'm happy to go about my day w/o much worry. If I suddenly start seeing much better targeted recommendations, I'll rethink my strategy.

If you think that speech used in the performance of your duties (and in this case, those duties include ordering military action), is comparable to other speech then I'm not sure what I can reasonably tell you as that is a mind-blowing comparison to put forward.

Additionally, the claim is that Trump enacted violence. Putin has not enacted violence, he's ordered it. Of course Putin is involved, and he's legally involved, and even though he's not enacting violence he is on the hook for that violence (or should be). I don't know anyone who wants free speech, even proper absolutists, who would make this case (that ordering military action is covered by free speech). Do you know of one?

Now, please tell me which violence Trump was either actually involved in by actually committing violence or by ordering violence, and by "ordering" I mean making an official, legally backed order in the course of his duties as president and commander in chief, because I'd really like to know or even better, knock these silly claims on the head.

I won't hold my breath waiting.

This tool is perfect for generating useless LinkedIn content. For example this phrase was auto-completed "Yesterday I had an interview with a candidate":

Yesterday I had an interview with a candidate for a mid-level developer role. At the end of the interview, we asked about his background in IT and found out that he'd never used any sort of development tools or language except Visual Basic in the past. He'd just stuck with the IDE that came with his software.

Although I understand the desire to do things the way you're familiar with and comfortable with, this is probably the most dangerous mistake you can make in the context of hiring. I've been thinking about this for a while now, and I want to share what I think is an important lesson with you.

In the past several years, Ruby on Rails has gone from new kid on the block to the dominant application server for most new web applications. Although Ruby is a great language, the community has been known to turn on new developers at times, and it can be a bit overwhelming for a newcomer.

I don't understand how people can say this when the pre-existing condition insurance nightmares occurred before regulation stepped in to stop it.

For reference: My parents went bankrupt back in 2003 because my mother had a stroke and insurance denied her claims because they called it a pre-existing condition. I think people that claim consumer protection is vastly overrated have never found themselves in a situation where they get fucked over by under-regulated corporations.

NSA uses the same tricky language. Clapper got before the American people and said "nobody is reading your emails." What he didn't say is, computers are processing them because there's too many for people to read. In this case, I suspect Amazon is technically telling the truth, and automatic transcription into text is what drives their ad engine.
In an April's fool story where Eliezer Yudkowsky was pretending to come from a rationalist parallel world (or outer planet), he suggested a medical system with a different way to specialize people.

Most notably, he suggested we separate diagnosticians and prognosticators from practicians. The former do their best to guess what you have, send you to the right kind of practician, and estimate your possible outcomes (with probability distribution and Bayesian goodness and all). Then whatever practician you chose do their best to treat you.

Separating prognosis from practice allows us to have a system where prognosticators are rewarded for their accuracy and calibration, and practicians are rewarded for their outcomes relative to prognosis. Being good doesn't mean having better outcomes, being good means having better outcomes than predicted.

I'm not sure how well this system would work in practice, and there may be a huge problem with eliminating the short feedback loops we can have between diagnosis and practice when they're the same person. What should be a nice separation of concern may turn into a communication nightmare.

Nevertheless, it is possible that specialised diagnosticians may be better than any expert system.
