Seems it is going backward to me too.

At one point I remember hooking up a computer being like one of those shape puzzles we give children. If you can match them they'll work. No two of my devices used the same cable or port, but if it fit it'd work.

Keyboard switched to PS/2 so those and PS/2 mice were confusing, but eventually they standardized on colours.

USB came out and you could just plug it in wherever. This was great.

And now? 20 combinations of cable features with the same socket but all do something else. I can only imagine what the return rate will be for stuff like this.
I joined the beta about 6 months ago and these guys develop fast. When I just signed in there was no PCB at all and now a bunch of people made their PCBs in Flux and even assembly. Definitely worth to at least trying this tool.
> You also cannot pre-initialize v8 as far as I know

You can create a snapshot/image with V8 to reduce startup times (https://v8.dev/blog/custom-startup-snapshots).

Node already does this for some of its core libraries (https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/17058). There are plans to expose this functionality to users so that any application and libraries can be snapshotted (https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/35711).
According to their "need for speed" page, their plan is to build factories producing units the size of shipping containers. They think they can have three of them by 2030, each churning out a quarter million units annually.
I was always curious about CraftCMS because it's built with Yii 2 instead of any other popular PHP framework. Sadly I never had the chance to look into it.

Last thing I heard it they were looking to migrate the codebase to Laravel as Yii 2 is no longer up to date and Yii 3 is far from being complete and production-ready.

Congratulations on the release.
>literally simple prints statements

Yes, that can be a simple but powerful live on screen log. I developed a library to use an API from a SaaS vendor, in much the same way as the author. It was my first such project & I learned the hard way (wasted time, luckily no data loss or corruption) that print() was an excellent way to keep tabs on progress. On more than one occasion it saved me when the results started scrolling by and I did an oh sh*t! as I rushed to kill the job.
In my mind it stood for things like "risk-seeking" or "adventurous", basically being a kid. Not everything has to be political.
I've been approached by a few publishers but the math on revenues doesn't make any sense. If I could get myself to write a technical book I would 100% self publish.

Some of my peers accepted with the same publishers and now they can boast of being book authors for some online clout or some extra linkedin post.

It can be useful if you're building an online audience you can convert to money. I'd love to do that but I can't stomach the thought and I'm not willing to put effort into that.

In terms of CV it won't serve you to get a raise or get into places that pay more (for that, just leetcode). In this regards it is similar to doing talks and blogging.
It may be useful if you're applying not into software development but into a software evangelist role.
I’ll counter that with the caveat that my kids are grade 5 and younger. We’re very involved in school and other activities - my wife is a PTO president and long time member, I coach youth sports and other community type programs.

The kids we have seen mostly don’t engage with social media directly. But the ones who transition from cute 5-6 year olds to problematic 10-12 year olds have a key common factor. Tablets. You see kids as young as 2-3 hiding under a table engaged in some awful kiddie YouTube trash or a game. It ends up being a pacifier that induces anxiety, and I think that effect combined with social media is powerful and difficult for kids to manage.

In terms of targeting, i actually think that things are better today. Through lawsuits and reporting, I learned that my childhood Boy Scout Troop and church was infested with pedophiles. The Boy Scout leader basically roamed the country and landed in NYC where he was eventually arrested for an unrelated rape. Today, there’s extensive background checking everywhere and it’s more difficult for a known offender to be in that position of trust.

Sports and the college recruitment funnel are another thing hurting kids. I had a kid drop out of little league because his soccer academy coach flipped out that he, as a 10 year old, isn’t fully committed to soccer. So he’s playing “elite” soccer, at a cost of almost $4k, because that’s how you make the high school team.
I used to spend most of my time outside but have shifted to a sedentary indoor lifestyle for the most part. Definitely missing out on vitamin D.
Sure, but 99% of the databases are small enough to have some degration/downtime/exceptions. If something goes wrong, just roll back.

There's no difference in that. "Zero downtime migrations" like only cover adding columns.

Let's say you change a relation from n-1 to a n-m.. this is not gonna save you. You need to deploy a new version of the code. If you want to roll back, you might loose data, or some code doesn't work. It's just a mess, takes more time, is more error prone.

Most companies are not "big tech".
The No. 2 philosophy!

Make sure you got everything out and off before you pull up your pants, or else you better be prepared to deal with all the shit that might follow!
While the risks you bring up are valid, many of them are not new but amplifications of preexisting ones. In the past, children have largely managed to navigate these on their journey to adulthood. An unsolved problem with social media: it's an amplification of parking lot scuttlebutt. It will entice you to see catastrophe and share it with others. Perhaps despite your position on this, you are being affected more than you realize.
It would be highly amusing if we had an economic crash caused by people being too busy on Facebook to bother doing any real productivity for the economy. Let's make third-rate dystopian Sci-Fi a reality.
Because you can go decades without any kind of serious events in your life, living in a perfect bubble until shit hits the fan. That's when you learn nothing prepared you for that and no one cares or knows how to behave.

That's kind of the main reason we started to write stuff down, to learn things from the past through other's experiences, so that you don't have to feel alone going through every traumatising events as if you were the first human to do so.

We have empathy, better use it than wait for the hardest part of life to "give us a lesson", most of the really hard parts only happen once so you won't learn much, but you'll suffer a lot.
> In California alone, 91% of all consumer loans issued last year — defined by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation as loans for “personal, family or household purposes” such as car, utility or medical loans — were buy now, pay later loans, also known as point-of-sale loans.

This is a weird way to measure it. If every credit card purchase people made counted as a loan under this criteria, it would be weird to count each credit card purchase in the "number of loans." Obviously each person makes many more credit card purchases than the number of homes they buy. Surely it makes more sense to measure the amount of debt people have, and more specifically how that debt from these services compares to the amount of their debt from credit cards, as well as how it compares to the credit card debt of previous generations.
(Not the OP)

I can’t say it was ground breaking, as I was a kid at the time, but it was one of the great movies of my childhood. I remember watching it many times over. I do remember the characters seeming less real, and I still knew they were puppets. But this was also the era of Sesame Street, so a movie by Jim Henson that had puppets was kinda normal. I think the fact that my parents talked about it so highly probably answers your question more — it was something adults appreciated. Ultimately, to me, the Dark Crystal wasn’t a great movie because I feel the story was there to service the technique, even if the technique was masterfully used. Maybe I was too young to fully appreciate it.

Tron was much the same. At the time, you knew it wasn’t great, but it was still new. Like the targeting computer CGI for the Star Wars trench run, the effects weren’t great. Even at the time, it was a little spartan. But the effects moved the story, and worked well enough to not be a distraction (and you had never seen anything like it before). Tron was just as much about what it foretold as much as the CGI that was available at the time. But in contrast to the Dark Crystal, I liked the story behind Tron more.

I would say that both were groundbreaking for how they pushed techniques of movie making forward. The world creation in both were amazing and they both set a new bar for future movies to meet.

I wish they would take the antivirus issue on Windows more seriously https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/17820

This issue alone means I can't use it at work, and I haven't put much time and thought into Nim as a whole because I could only use it in private toy projects.

I understand it's mostly the AV vendors fault and the devs shouldn't have to worry about a problem they haven't caused, but for me, this grinds real-life adoption of the whole thing to a halt.

They do gain some data security as they've effectively sharded their database by user. So at the point of a power failure only the active users' data would be at risk of corruption at the file level.

Of course there's always the risk of damage to the media in general, but then you can never fully protect against hardware failures.
I also had a severe back injury - using a full foam roller can overextend your back and cause further injury. My understanding is a half-circle can just provide some lumbar support if you don't have good lumbar support in your desk chair, etc. I've also been told to roll a towel up and use it for lumbar support or lying on.
There was a really short timeframe when I was really positive about USB, but that has been long lost since.

They should've never allowed cables to only provide some capabilities and still get the branding. Having capabilities for connectors was fine imo, but also accepting them with cables was bad because you cannot really find out what it supports and where the issue originates of something goes wrong

Now you learned what a backup is.
While this is absolutely true, there's also another elephant in the room: a global pandemic that's destroyed every kid's routine, robbed 2+ years of their childhood from them, and for many put them severely behind in school and extracurricular achievement. Given all the pressure we put on kids these days to excel at everything in order to ensure their futures, it's not surprising that many are feeling more hopeless and jaded than even the generation that came before them.

Frankly, I think all of this jadedness and depression is at least partly a product of the inconceivably high stress of everyday life experienced by millennials and then Gen Z.

Most millennials saw all of this before finishing high school:

- Gulf war

- 9/11

- Wars in Iraq/Afghanistan/etc.

- Hurricane Katrina

- 2007 housing bubble/fuel shortage

- 2008 financial crisis

In short, America's "squeaky clean best country in the world" image falling apart;

Most Gen Z will have seen all of this before finishing high school:

- Sandy Hook shooting, among dozens of others

- The election of Donald Trump (who, love him or hate him, is _extremely_ unpopular and seen as an existential threat by most American teenagers)

- Rapidly increasing ecological destruction (West coast fires, Australian fires, Hurricane Maria, etc. etc.)

- The COVID-19 Pandemic

- The murder of George Floyd and many others besides

- The unbelievable greed of major corporations financializing nearly every aspect of modern life

- (as of a few days ago) the overturning of Roe v. Wade and Casey vs. Planned Parenthood

In short, the basic fabric of society starting to unravel.

This analysis is obviously extremely slanted by my leftist bias and leaves out plenty of other tragedies and trials I could mention, and I'm not going to deny that. But the fact is that the teenagers I know have zero hope left that the future holds anything better for them. They're inheriting a broken world and they know it; their mental health reflects this. People love to wax philosophical about how "kids these days have no trust in authority or institutions" and...well shit, you wonder why.
When buying technical books I don't care particularly about writing skills and structure. I only care about the author credentials and skills.

I'll overlook a bad structure and even bad writing if the content is good and will give me value.
I'm way more likely to buy the book at 25% of the price with no editor than at 100% of the price with an editor.
I've been using two 28" 4k 144hz monitors for a few months. Windows, Cleartype, at 150% scaling. It's only the rare old program that looks terrible (blurry text). I don't know why on earth one would use 200% scaling with a 4k desktop monitor; you're effectively making it a 1080p monitor and losing many advantages of better resolution.

The Brothers Grimm already toned the horror down. Sleeping Beauty was based on a tale called Sun, Moon, and Talia [0] which has the prince having sex and impregnating her while she sleeps, and she only wakes up from her newborns sucking the splint out of her finger when she can’t find the breast.

If we're talking about bleaker topics in older Disney works, I'll ask you to take a moment and consider the entire premise of _Dumbo_ (1939). Why are the other elephants scandalized by the baby elephant with the big ears, asking what Mr. Jumbo would think? Why did they mean, just a few moments earlier when they said elephants are "a proud race"? Why would they shun him, declaring that he is not one of their kind? ... What kind of elephant has big ears?

I loved a cartoon growing up as a child, called Alfred J. Kwak [0], a Dutch / Japanese series about a duck and his adventures; I believe a lot of it is on youtube if you want.

The first two episodes are about two anthropomorphised ducks that meet, fall in love, move into a clog and have a spawn of babies, happily ever after until the whole family but Alfred get killed by a car. That was err. a pretty brutal thing for a four year old to see.

The show goes on to depict things like nazis, racism (waterfowl aren't real birds like us!), apartheid, classism, alcoholism, even transgenderism / gender fluidity (the stork Ollie), etc. In hindsight, it was A Lot, and most of it probably escaped me.

My point is more that, given the wide skill gap between an NHL-caliber player and a EBUG, there's a reasonable chance that the EBUG would "blow" the lead (a hockey goaltender is one of the most consequential positions in sports, probably second to a gridiron football quarterback). Of the four EBUG appearances, three were no-decision games (the lead didn't change after the EBUG came in) and one win (a come-from-behind victory after the EBUG came in).
My father also grew up poor with rabbits. They would feed the rabbits things they would otherwise throw away, like carrot leaves and potato peels. Then they would eat the rabbits. Great way to turn inedible plants into edible protein.

It's expensive yes, but moreso home prices are accelerating. We have been saving for a home, but prices go up faster than the rate our down payment fund was, and we'd still probably be looking at something in deep Georgetown, most of an hour's drive from the city in a brand new development in what used to be cow pasture, with nothing to walk to and no trees taller than us. Also, all our friends were similarly scattered around the metro so it was difficult to ever see them anyway.

Instead we're closing next week on a beautiful cape cod in a nice neighborhood that we could pay cash for if we wanted (we're still taking a mortgage for other reasons but strictly wouldn't need to). Our children can walk to school, we have friends and family nearby, and generally we can just live without constant worry about the housing market because the majority of our wealth is not tied up in a pile of sticks and drywall that we bought for the equivalent of ten years' wages.

For a one-liner sure, but a multi line command can still be catastrophic.

Showing the contents of the clipboard in the terminal itself (eg via xclip) or opening an editor and saving the contents to a file are usually better approaches. The latter let’s you craft the entire command in the editor and then run it as a script.

Well we obviously haven't yet solved the problem of preventing genocides, because we didn't prevent the current one. But we don't necessarily need new data, maybe we just need new interpretations to the data or new policies based on the interpretations, in fact I don't know how you got to that suggestion at all.

Other than that, I don't wish to defend what another poster (hans1729) said upthread as interpreted by you. My claim is simply that you should not stop trying to understand people just because you see their actions as "evil", because understanding them and how they got that way is a step on the path to having fewer people like that in future.

Most EBUGs had their career apex in either minor leagues or NCAA D-I college hockey; while the EBUGs may still play in local beer leagues, the colloquialism doesn't really apply to them ("beer leaguer" being a pejorative that implies a player's career apex was in a beer league).
To everyone thinking about writing their own code to generate PDF, I'm begging you, please either implement tagged PDF support for accessibility, and test it with Adobe Reader and a screen reader, or consider using an existing PDF generator that supports tagged PDF, such as LibreOffice, iText, or a recent version of Chromium. The web already has enough untagged, inaccessible PDFs to provide no shortage of work for multiple document remediation businesses, including my own. But I'm an accessibility advocate first, and as the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
> I’m interested in peoples experience with this and if it’s relatively true.

My personal experience is that AWS is always more expensive. You don't use AWS because of the cost saving you use it because:

* Top of the line h/w
* Always the first to bring out new features
* Very high availability of resource, like seriously I've never had a time even during the pandemic where they struggled with resource availability
* Resilience of AWS systems are very high
* Very good support

There was an article a few months back where a teams tried moving from Heroku to AWS to save money and ended up spending nearly 3x the amount. Heroku give more resource than you actually pay for by default and it turns out they were using the extra resource during normal operation. When they done their calcs for a switch to AWS they used the quoted resource that Heroku say you get and there system died due to being under resourced. They had to up the resource which pushed them well over their budget. I'll try and find the article.

Please Note: Heroku servers are on AWS already

Without doubt, there are hundreds of talented hardworking people in key positions across the many companies that Musk "heads". The media makes it appear as all that happens is of Musk's doing. As the supreme leader he probably plays a key part in the selection and motivation of those top players. As for results, without them, Elon would have nothing to grandstand about.
One thing I've really noticed is that a lot of people - children and adults both - have no qualms about depictions of violence and murder of people in media, but they get really squeamish when it's (cute) animals. I wonder what causes that, is it just a kind of desensitization? Or a built-in kind of justice that bad people dying is fine but innocent animals isn't?
Q: The gasoline stations in my area have increased their prices the same amount and at the same time. Is that price fixing?

A: A uniform, simultaneous price change could be the result of price fixing, but it could also be the result of independent business responses to the same market conditions. For example, if conditions in the international oil market cause an increase in the price of crude oil, this could lead to an increase in the wholesale price of gasoline. Local gasoline stations may respond to higher wholesale gasoline prices by increasing their prices to cover these higher costs. Other market forces, such as publicly posting current prices (as is common with most gasoline stations), encourages suppliers to adjust their own prices quickly in order not to lose sales. If there is evidence that the gasoline station operators talked to each other about increasing prices and agreed on a common pricing plan, however, that may be an antitrust violation.
