OK, that's more indirect than I understood the point to be: you're saying that he used unacceptable speech to get elected, and that resulted in the imminent overturn of Roe.

I have to say that I'm very uncomfortable limiting any kind of speech on the grounds that it may get the wrong person elected.

If someone says something hateful and gets elected, that's just one of the flaws of democracy. But I haven't heard of any better system.

The U.S. has checks and balances to slow down the worst of it. I mean, given how much Trump wanted to do vs how much he actually did, it's pretty clear the system worked.

I'm pro-choice, but I also know that many people aren't, and the Constitution is certainly not clear on the point. So even though I don't want Roe overturned, it's basically the system working as designed.

Even perfect systems don't produce perfect outcomes all the time. If you have an idea for improvements to the system, I'm all ears, but limiting speech of political candidates is very likely a regression. It doesn't take much imagination to see how that could be turned against you.

You weren't lying, and this is super cool - the SQLite hype train also seems to be in full force.

Attributing all the problems to those bodyshops is a bit disingenuous IMO. Yes they are part of the problem. Even Chinese nationals face 5+ years backlog for their green cards. Limiting immigration from populous countries based on arbitrary country caps for employment based immigration makes no sense. As it is it is a small piece of the overall immigration pie (14% and if we count only primary applicants, ~5%).

What is happening due to this is all advocacy to fix this has to be done by the folks in backlogs (Indians & Chinese) and the rest of the world folks can happily go about business as usual. Yes, H1 reform is needed but green card reform is needed yesterday.
You can give "ZeptoMail" from Zoho, a try. Its a platform dedicated to sending application/transactional emails. The platform doesn't allow bulk or marketing email sending. There are no monthly subscriptions for ZeptoMail. You can simply buy email credits when you need them and these credits will be valid for 6 months. It would tick all your requirements.

You can check it out - www.zoho.com/zeptomail
Saying you don't want white people because they are most likely Republicans is like saying you don't want black people because they will steal.

It's a racist stereotype that has no place in this world.

The truth is the majority of Trump supporters are not white men.
If I remember correctly, there was some discussion around R2 acting as a proxy in front of s3. So, if R2 does not yet have the asset, you would automatically pull it in from S3, and from then on R2 would serve it directly.

Is that still on the cards?
Hit "Subscribe" before you can see the article.

I subscribe to exactly one website. If I subscribed to every subscription website that I read, I'd spend more on subscriptions than my income.

So: F12, "display: none". Wut? Really? A one-paragraph article? I guess Wired can join NYT and Washpo as sites I'm not going to visit, because they don't want the likes of me to visit.

Tips on Coding Job Interviews
Revealed: The ‘carbon bombs’ set to trigger catastrophic climate breakdown
I, personally, have zero fear of being replaced by cheap labor. I've climbed high enough in what I do and I know how valuable my skillset is. But I see it all over the place, and it still concerns me.

> You should be asking yourself why companies are allowed to pay non-US citizens less for the same jobs we're doing.

I would ask myself this, but I know the answer. It's because these companies have our lawmakers in their pockets. That is the problem that really needs to be solved, which would take care of this and many other issues.
Rather, the convention was that /sbin was for static binaries so that the system could still be fixed online if the dynamic linker got hosed. It's not about /usr not being mounted, but /lib/ld-linux.so not functioning correctly. For that reason, glibc still ships (or used to ship) an sln binary (static ln), and Debian still offers sash (stand-alone shell): so you could at least try to restore the dynamic library link farm by hand.

But I have only ever seen historic references to that argument, from back when dynamic linking was scary and unreliable. I certainly have never encountered that situation in almost 25 years of using Linux.
So where are the databases running? In the same regions as workers?

Maaaybe 70 y.o. moms should not invest in crypto then?
This isn't an FDIC issue. This is an Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC") issue. The SIPC was greated almost 50 years ago to cover investors in a similar fashion to FDIC against the loss of custody assets in the case that a broker goes bankrupt. Like FDIC, there are limits.

The point here is that crypto isn't covered by the SIPC [1]. So the Coinbase disclosure (required by the SEC) is correct: there is no protection for your Coinbase custody assets in the cse of insolvency beyond being a general creditor.

This seems like a good thing for investors and customers to know.

> For some of us work-life balance, interesting work, meaning and other non-monetary factors are worth considering and are very, very important.

I thought the same thing until a senior engineering role paid me >500k/year. I realized then how hilariously ripped off I was getting prior to this job (lured by "free" lunches, coffee, massages, &c). I could make my own meaning and exciting life outside of work with what essentially amounts to several combined disposable salaries. These companies extol benefits because they're tax-deductible and saves them money, not because they are meaningful to individual employees. I can appreciate their business dilemma because high paid employees are more difficult to retain, but that should be encouraged and celebrated by us laborers.
> Others have said this, but just to reiterate : this is quite wrong. This is like saying that because you hold Amazon stock via a Schwab brokerage account, if Schwab were to declare bankruptcy, then you would lose your Amazon stock. Needless to say that wouldn't happen because you are the owner of the stock, not Schwab.

But that isn't how Coinbase works. They aren't holding a share for you, they are holding your actual assets, with nothing in force that they would have to return them, bar what is in USD.
yeah but you need to call sort as a function
Yep -- even a single preparatory iteration makes a huge difference for many tasks.

What is your methodology to collect the tech stack data? Some things seem easy to identify, eg Google Analytics, and others much harder, eg back office like Microsoft Excel.
My thing is I go simple. I'm good, maybe messy. Finally see enough / think I know a good abstraction and pull the trigger and later I find out ... oh man I was wrong. Knowing when you know is the hard part.

I've got some abstractions out there I wrote early on when I didn't think I coded well and they have lived for years and saved tons of time.

Others don't live long :(
Several tips on how to tackle coding job interviews, and how to prepare for them.
Welcome to capitalism! The billionaires always eat first. And don't you forget it.
+100.

It's another 20 minutes or whatever. Just smile and continue.
They didn't say internal doesn't add any value at all. They said it's more obviously justifiable with the product people, and it is. Given that total salaries paid per year is almost always small in proportion to revenue at a successful company, tooling cannot add anywhere near as much to the bottom line, even at the extreme where it reduced time to market to 5 seconds.
Have you interviewed there? The process is literally the opposite of what you’re describing.

For frontend roles they test knowledge of frontend APIs and low level reasoning & decision making. They definitely have the least Leetcode style interview I’ve ever encountered.
Think Like a Computer
That would give you an average message length that's shorter than what you typed. In the case that it was longer, it turned out those users were copying and pasting the content, then maybe editing it a bit before sending.
Could you elaborate on this? What assumptions do you object to?

Are you saying that different branches of math don't have their own special notations?

Sure, they have notation in common, but they have their own notation too, to express objects, relations, or operations that are of special relevance to them.

That's not to mention that any given symbol could mean different things depending on the branch of math it's used in.
The problem here is the effect, not the cause. The cause is abuse by some other group of this controversial minority. If we prosecuted to the fullest extent anyone bullying or discriminating based on such things, then anyone who wished to speak could do so without anonymity.

I don't believe we will ever solve the hate speech problem without doing away with anonymity, or at the very least have anonymous speech have much less protections and reach.

For example, Twitter might only allow retweets of tweets tweeted by people with verified accounts and their primary identities in the profile.

There are people for whom a non-birthname is their primary identity, through role, gender change, etc. So I'm not talking birthname, I'm talking the name you identify yourself to the world with.I
> but saying your favorite language is Scheme would get A LOT of interviewers to laugh, especially in the enterprise world

Or maybe the guy was partial to Haskell or Clojure or similar!

Or maybe he just came out of a long painful meeting where he tried to persuade a committee to let him build a new service in Scheme, but failed.
Its a bold strategy, Cotton, sounding a bit like they want to compete with AWS.
I was on reddit and someone called bitcoin a "useful savings account" and I was like, "NO, STOP. Do not tell people this stuff is for savings!" I was downvoted to hell and people were like "lmao noob." Got into a back and forth where I was trying to delineate an investment and savings and people just kept replying stuff like, "it goes up, that means you beat inflation, do you not understand how this works???"

Sigh.
So why did your country take the loan if it was so terrible?
Yes, but if `char` is signed, as it usually is, its bit patterns correspond to values -0x80 to 0x7F. So yeah, you can no-cost encode the >=0x80 code units as their two’s complement counterparts but it feels suspicious. At least to me, after writing some Rust lately which very much does not do implicit signed–unsigned conversions. Much better for char to always represent the "basic character set" (ie. usually ASCII) and have a distinct type for UTF-8.
This is the sort of statement that fuels needless divisiveness.

Regardless of your political stance on abortion, I don't know of any proposal in any state that would prevent it in cases of medical need.

It varies by state, but there are also exceptions for rape, age, and several others.

There's no need for a straw man here, the issue is complex enough without the hyperbole.
That is true, it's not the nicest way to leave, certainly not how I would. But we all know "no nonsense" people who behave this way. All I'm trying to say is there's no definite reason as to why he got up and left.

Great overview.
People like that stuff because it is like a part time job getting that stuff vetted and set up yourself. Time is money, many don't have time to vet all these health/dental/vision/etc packages on the public market place. Free pizza means you don't have to plan and prep a lunch. Childcare discount might even involve a known good childcare service in the area. Lounge access is great if you like to eat while travelling (and don't want to be saddled with a $15 airport double whopper or that $10 sad looking cesar wrap) or are a booze hound; the whole point of it is that its an infinite buffett of food and booze like a Vegas casino. People get smashed in lounges.
> To me Coinbase feels more like bank. Once I deposit money I no longer worry about the physical security of that money. Clearly that isn't the case given it's not FDIC insured, but the fact that it's a multi-billion dollar publicly-traded corporation instills some confidence.

And that is the danger. It feels like a bank, and lots of other people also feel it is like a bank, so you figure you are safe.

But it is not a bank. It does not offer the regulator protection of a bank. Feelings don't change that. A good UI does not change that. Only regulation change that.
Oh wow, I can certainly understand this! My wife's a Rola though so my approach is somewhat different - promoting Bogotá to anyone who'll listen at any opportunity!

If you'd be kind enough to satisfy my curiosity about the wonderful sounding place your wife's from, though, my email is in my profile :-) Perhaps I'll (very respectfully) visit there some time!

For some people sure, but not all, and I would even go as far as to say not the main intention of the original product.
I haven't tried duckdb but I have been googling about it. I think I saw a discussion where it was mentioned that duckdb isn't a replacement for SQLite. It is an OLAP database [0] which makes its ingestion time slower than SQLite, I think. So it is meant for analytics but not as fullfledge replacement for SQLite.

Does the onboard (to the laptop) USB-C port/controller not pass enough power for more than one port? Or just not enough power to provide "full power" to extra ports?

I'd be happy to compromise that aspect as long as the various other data specs are met. I'm not trying to charge several big devices here, just AirPods and a phone, plus run two external monitors. And since I need to use one of the USB-C on the laptop to charge the laptop, I'm one port short sometimes.
I was very confused by that thread. I kept scrolling to find where he explained why it was a pet peeve of his.
But a company will not usually downward adjust your salary during years of deflation. I think there is some risk management involved.

So now I'm supposed to spend my time proving that I'm mainstream enough to be acceptable, because my existence makes me guilty by association? This is the "Black people should have no issue proving they aren't criminals" argument.

Also, transgender people aren't a movement. We're people.
It's like G. W. Bush looking into Putin's eyes and getting a sense of his soul.
* the big one for me: very limited migration support, requiring quite a lot of ceremony for common tasks (eg rewriting a whole table and swapping it out)

I don't know where this idea of having to swap a whole table in SQLite came from, but it simply isn't true. Over the last 13 years I have upgraded production HashBackup databases at customer sites a total of 35 times without rewriting and swapping out tables by using the ALTER statement, just like other databases:

https://www.sqlite.org/lang_altertable.html

For the most recent upgrade, I upgraded to strict tables, which I could also have done without a rebuild/swap. I chose to do a rebuild/swap this one time because I wanted to reorder some columns. Why? Because columns stored with default or null values don't have row space allocated if the column is at the end of the row.
>It's the poor's fault they are poor, is that it ? They should bet on the right numbers in the lottery, right ?

Yes, if you have the poor mentality you will be poor. There's no rich people who bet on the lottery.

>The non-stop growth of income and wealth inequality for a few decades is only fair, because if you weren't able to pay for tuition, you could still scrub toilets very very very fast and and become rich !

I don't know you but I have a feeling those 2 videos are going to benefit you greatly.

>It's no secret to anyone who has been doing any kind of reading about economy and/or investment that money makes money. I'd like to contrast that by mentioning a quite interesting report by the french senate a few years ago which was titled "It's very expensive to be poor" [1]

Income inequality at the top end derives heavily from credit score and the ability to take on debt yes. There's no better way to handle this. Nothing tried so far has produced a better outcome. If you have a solution to replacing credit score... I'm all ears.

Also note, we will NEVER EVER be repealing glass steagal or equivalent to fix inner city ghettos with subprime loans ever again. It'll be many decades before we try to fix inner city ghettos again. In fact, I expect no politicians talk about inner city ghettos ever again because of that 2009 financial crisis.

>I'm a entrepreneur and I'm not here to claim that we shouldn't have a free market, but I feel sick in my stomach when I feel like I'm reading that poor are meant to be poor or that it's only their fault. A lot of indicators tends to show the game is more and more biased.

More and more biased? In what way? Yes regulations and higher taxes are making the situation worse on the poor. Rent control and minimum wage is doing tremendous harm to the USA.

>As a sidenote, as i think quite a few readers are americans: I've been living in the US for a few years and I was really astonished by the lack / or malfunction of the social elevator in that country. The American Dream seemed long gone to me.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_mobility

What you are referring to is social mobility. Yes, something went very wrong in the USA. They were clearly #1 for a long time, but now they are in last place. Why? If you look at the options on that wiki page, you are basically forced to agree or come to the conclusion, culture/poormentality and housing are the USA's problem.
I mean, anywhere you immigrate to, you have less rights than someone born there despite the fact that they didn’t do anything to get that citizenship.

It’s pretty atrocious though that people born in India have to wait in line for decades or, like that person and many of my colleagues, have to marry someone who is not born there, while all the French people I know in the US got their green cards in 1-5 years.
Why? Yes sqlite doesn't have all the features postgres has. Postgres doesn't have all the features the sqlite has either. What's wrong with having different tools with different sets tradeoffs. It's a different shape of Lego and that's fine - some things call for a 1/3height 2x2 and others call for a full height 1x8.
How exactly are you bringing your "secure" passwords to the devices you mentioned? If the answer is "install and sync a password manager", that's something my mom will never do (short of having Chrome remember her password).

So either the passwords weren't secure, or we're only building for power users, or we're ossifying on the browser password manager (and keeping passwords) as the way to manage credentials.
Note that India requires prospective citizens to live in the country for 12 years before applying for naturalization, and China doesn't allow non-ethnic Chinese immigration at all (only ~1500 naturalized citizens/10,000 permanent residents in the whole country of over a billion people). Something to keep in mind when people from those countries complain about the American immigration system (doesn't apply to the Singaporean author of this article, but does apply to some of the other commenters).
The entire reason we have this system is so that the country can remain competitive, which is an important and valid reason. But it was never meant to be what it has become, which is just a way to import cheap labor. It needs to get back to what it was supposed to be, which is a way to bring in highly-skilled labor that simply can't be found in the US, at the same pay US citizens would receive.

This is a big reason to have children who are american citizens. The children can then pay several tens of thousands of dollars once they're adults to sponsor their parents. Two decades is a shorter wait.
It's interesting to see a relatively old technology get hyped.
Look if you think being a serial liar with unimaginable power to a common person and never having to be accountable for free speech (“I can’t show you my taxes” - that’s a good one) then society is broken. The megaphone of lies convinces stupid people who have the right to vote. It’s clear they don’t have the intellect to vote responsibly, and that can be attributed to Facebook and Twitter letting any miscreant or moron ingest intellectual poison.

Merrick Garland should be on the court and if you disagree then you are arguing in bad faith.
To add some personal context, I'm the same where as I get older the company needs to impress me with a good work environment. But not because my resume is better or that I'm financially better off. It's because I've learnt from personal experience that a crappy work environment is not worth tolerating. (Same goes for personal relationships).
This is convenient, I’ve been building an app which is using SQLite but am wanting to deploy it to Cloudflare pages. I expected I was going to have to switch to a hosted Postgres instance somewhere, but this could be perfect.

This ain’t “worse is better”. If the end-user has no worse of a user experience with the supposedly worse-is-better interface or program—most notably in this case if the linker never in practice gives a bad user experience on bad input (perhaps because it never happens)—then it’s not really “worse”.

The central tenet of worse-is-better is to prioritize implementation simplicity over user experience. But if you simplify the implementation since some features are never used and not needed then you haven’t even had to make a choice on that spectrum—you have just cut out unneeded cruft.

In fact the user experience has improved since it is faster...
