Honestly I can't say I have. I usually keep removals and other hazardous commands out of my shell history by prepending them with a space character. And, if the command is coming out of my shell history, probably the file is already gone anyway (I also never use rm with relative paths, it just seems like a bad idea. Entering the full path is part of my confirmation process.)

But supposing all the stars aligned against me and my cat re-ran a removal from my shell history that actually referred to a file that existed still, I think that's a significantly less likely scenario than accidentally pressing delete in a GUI file explorer. Selecting files in a file explorer is a very common operation. And something is selected, the confirmations are the only thing standing between you and a single keypress disaster.

You know what commands scares me more than rm? cp and mv. Both of those can overwrite files, effectively deleting them. When I use rm at least my mind is already on the topic of file removal. (And yes, I know about -i, but who has time for that... I tried using aliases with -i once and disabled it the first time it inconvenienced me. Besides, I don't want to rely on a crutch that might not be there when I really need it.)

I've mostly moved away from all of this anyway, and primarily use dired and ranger.
Why though ? Their 70-80s boom was always going to be short lived, geographically they are resource poor as well.

The demographics of Japan weren’t a sudden change or surprise their population is always been heading in this direction , coupled with their strong anti immigration culture and barriers to entry. It was bound to happen sooner or later .

It is extremely unlikely any one company /market can keep ahead of every single tech /product evolution cycle and always be the best .

While it is hard to guess correctly when that will happen as it did in 90s , but it will always inevitable sooner or later .

——

The growth of U.S. economy post ww2 and importantly post Bretton woods have been phenomenal is very true, however were already a powerhouse , the preceding 300 hundred years have also been explosive growth catching one wave after after .

Largely thanks to immigration of some form or other .

Modern America has always been built on the backs and hard-work of immigration. First European settlers fleeing stagnant economies, actual slavery for a while, economic slavery? of poor driven by famine or lack of opportunity later like the Irish wave or Chinese etc, then those affected by various wars, and most recently top talent from most countries in the world .

It has always been exploitative even now it is , most immigrants legal or illegal are paid less than their peers for example

Illegal immigration is more well known on how they are paid less, even In legal work visas like say H1B changing companies is hard because out of work even for a week you to leave the country immediately, changing employers also affects the Permanent residency qualifications, so people on those visas move jobs less, on average get 10-20% less and have lesser negotiating power, companies know this and use those visas as cost saving technique.

Despite all the problems around immigration, U.S. still remains the country most open to immigration , few countries come close to the volume of immigration legal and illegal U.S. supports, and path to citizenship .

Japan is other end of the spectrum in terms of immigration, which for the economy is a big problem because of such aging population.
Google’s latest Roboto variant is a font customizable to its core
I'm an experienced backend developer but always struggled with learning modern web development.

I understand all the core well (html, CSS, JavaScript, etc.), but struggle with choosing the right high level abstraction/framework/technology for ideas I want to implement.

E.g. should I make it a single page app or not? Should I be using ES6 imports? Which build tool? Would I want React or Vue or something simpler here? Should I use SSR? NPM vs. Yarn? Do I need a CSS compiler? Maybe I should be using TypeScript? Wepback?

Basically I'm overwhelmed with choices, but struggle to find useful docs on why a lot of these tools came about, what problems they solve, tradeoffs for using them, etc.

Asking the web devs I know in person doesn't help much (“just use React for everything, it's fine").
Post its at home can be stolen, or photographed, while I'm out of the house. My phone plus my face? Without me noticing either? Not as easy.

I still keep printed one-time recovery codes locked up and hidden to not be completely surrendered to my phone, but i don't really like them since they can be copied without notice, only comfort is that usage of them will trigger notification, yubikeys feel like a better middle ground.
> I think you've hit the nail on the head for part of it is the ability of drones to take out tanks is going to be huge, tanks are expensive, bulky and hard to conceal and have limited visibility and range. They are going to be sitting ducks for cheap drones.

https://imgur.com/a/FOclOMt

This tank can kill you from 3km away. Frankly, I don't think you'd see them. This is called "turret down" position, the tank is purposefully hiding behind a hill, and only the tank-commander is sticking out the top to see you.

The tank-commander has thermal and night-vision binoculars. He absolutely can see you. Just like a deadly-sniper, except with a 120mm cannon.

The tank will drive up the hill to stick its turret out (going from "turret-down position" into "hull down position"), fire a shot with computerized accuracy. The bullet will travel at mach 5, hypersonic. The shell will hit you before you even hear it.

-------

And you're telling me, that your weapon of choice against this tactic is a drone that moves at 50mph? Even a 500mph+ anti-tank rocket / missile could have trouble hitting the tank if they're playing "peek-a-boo" behind hills like this, they may not give you enough time to even lock on to fire your missile.

Case in point: at 500mph, your missile will reach the 3km-away tank in 12-seconds. More than enough time for the tank-commander to retreat behind the hill.

That's if your missile even has that kind of range (NLAW only has 1000meter range)

Your 50mph drone btw, will take 2-minutes to reach the enemy tank. The battle is long over at that point. The tank probably isn't even in that hill anymore.
> usage of complex words is off-putting to those trying to learn something for the first time.

I prefer when I'm learning something new if it treats me like an intelligent person who is ignorant of that topic. So, yes, if you want to teach me something be gentle in the language from that subject. But please assume I do know some things.
Cigar Smoking World Championship (2019)
Despite the two-wheel connection, I think the ire cyclists and motorcyclists get is actually completely unrelated. I have a lot of thoughts on why cyclists get so much mostly undeserved hate, but I don't think it's relevant to the discussion about motorcycles.
Can you please speak to some examples of these in game strategies that are illegal in real life when it comes to trading?
Star Citizen for me is a recurring reminder that there are probably hundreds of talented game developers either working independently and living in poverty to work on things that they're truly passionate about and that have real thought and craft put into them, or developers working in the triple-A mines making derivative bloated nonsense every year with terrible working conditions, and yet so often the projects with massive amounts of funding and support are things like this or Yandere Simulator or DayZ being made by devs who are either con artists or completely incompetent devs, or both.
I have tried most PDF viewers available on Linux.

MuPDF is by far the fastest, much faster than Okular or Evince, both at rendering pages and at navigation through the document (also the keyboard-shortcut-based user interface of MuPDF is much faster than the more typical GUI of the other PDF readers).

MuPDF has various limitations and sometimes I find certain PDF files that it cannot render, so it cannot be used as the only PDF viewer.

Nevertheless, using MuPDF to handle the common cases of quickly opening, searching and reading PDF files, together with a fall-back more complete PDF reader, e.g. Okular, seems the best option on Linux.
This is only going to get worse with deteriorating market conditions.
Or hire contractors like they do here in Europe.
So you go from spending up to 150kCHF for a lambda software engineering to paying 250kCHF to a consultancy. But the company "invest". Doesn't matter if that contractor will end up working there for 4 years or more, that's call investment in the finance book or Switzerland is a at will country (but with notice period).
Just madness.

As used in this thread's context, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/veteran#Noun describes this meaning as:

> 1. A person with long experience of a particular activity.

The military version is a bit different:

> 3. A person who has served in the armed forces, especially an old soldier who has seen long service; also called a war veteran to distinguish from veterans who weren't in armed conflict.

The etymology from https://www.etymonline.com/word/veteran is:

> c. 1500, "old experienced soldier," from French vétéran, from Latin veteranus "old, aged, that has been long in use," especially of soldiers; as a plural noun, "old soldiers," from vetus (genitive veteris) "old, aged, advanced in years; of a former time," as a plural noun, vetores, "men of old, forefathers," from PIE wet-es-, from root wet- (2) "year ... General sense of "one who has seen long service in any office or position" is attested from 1590s. The adjective first recorded 1610s.

You can see definition (1) dropped the "soldier" restriction, and (3) dropped the "old" restriction.

I therefore don't think you can apply your understanding of (3) when (1) was meant.

FWIW, there's also a veteran car, which is one built before 1905: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_automobile#Vete... .
> I am 30 now and I have trouble imagining being in debt for a time equivalent to my entire lifetime so far - just to live in a house.

I can empathise. 10 years ago, I had friends in their early 20s "buying a house" (signing up to a debt of $1.2m+ dollars over 30-35 years for a $700k house), and could not see the value propositon for the emotional turmoil.

Looking back years later, they don't seem so stressed by it, but it's definitely affected their ability to make decisions around their job, relationships, social life, etc. But they've all made pretty strong profits (on paper, assuming they ever sell).

I bought a house for cash instead. The trade off of living further away is much better to me than feeling enslaved and not in control for decades.

Buy some land if you want - a small package in a small town 30 minutes past all the developments. You'll probably find once you've paid off the mortage in 5-10ish years, the area has built up and you're in a non rural position with a good block.
when he tried to use an Arduino for this task. Even using a sped-up GPIO library (as opposed to notoriously inefficient digitalRead), he couldn’t get a readout frequency higher than 80 KHz

This is why the phrase "right tool for the job" exists. As another comment here points out, the MCU in an Arduino is perfectly capable of it, but the software seems to be ridiculously inefficient.

That said, a better device for interfacing this to a PC would probably be the FX2/LP which is commonly found in cheap logic analysers --- it's not clear whether this was actually the type of logic analyser he used originally, but makes perfect sense given its capabilities.
Try to transfer 30000 euro to some account in Germany... I did it once when I tried to buy some expensive domain. You will have the biggest troubles in your life and financial authorities will ask endless questions regarding your transaction and the money involved. Even in russia I think you have more financial freedom than in western. In Germany I also have to spend at least 20x more time for taxes than any developer from asia.

> The one group of people I don’t get are the ones who suggest people should be forced to work from the office, and not able to decide for themselves.

I guess I can give a bit of perspective. I don't think people should be "forced" into 100% office work, but I can say that as a junior engineer, I am wildly more productive when I'm in the office with my co-workers compared to at home alone.

I graduated into the pandemic and my first job out of school was full-remote. My company had no idea how to effectively manage remote workers and after two years I knew barely anything about my coworkers except their names, and I could feel my career stagnating. WFH was lonely, inefficient, and since my home was my office, I had no escape from the stress of work. Whenever I was at home I felt guilty for not working.

I recently quit that job and started a new one. The first thing I asked prospective employers was whether they had office space I could work from. I'm much, much happier working from the office and benefit greatly from my other coworkers who choose to commute.

Part of the problem is that the benefits of in-office work are long-term and asymmetrical. You might not benefit from being in the office, but other people might benefit greatly from having you there. Senior engineers should consider passing down knowledge as part of their responsibilities -- there might be ways to accomplish that remotely, but a lot of that transfer happens organically when colleagues share meals, walk outside together, etc..

Being in the office also gives me a chance to interact with people at the same company who I don't directly work with -- sales people, office managers, etc.. For me, WFH takes all the enjoyment out of work, leaving only the bad stuff.

I find that it largely depends on the keyboard that I'm using, but I can think of two scenarios when it happens to me.

If I'm typing at a steady pace ( no matter the speed), when a finger doesn't get the tactile feedback it expects, it may hesitate while the next finger strikes the next key on the same pace.

And for short commands like, `ls` or `cat`, I often hit the all the letters at nearly the same time which can swap letters.
Playing the game was great fun when I was in high school, and university (and for a few unattached years afterwards).

All my current RL obligations would make playing pretty much impossible. There’s also a lot of things I like doing most in-game that I’d be better off doing in RL.

This is just the audiophile’s “tube amplifiers have a warmer sound” of the shaving world.

I mean, no one is telling you to stop, but I wouldn’t chalk up your recommendations to anything more just preferences.

It’s just another hobby. Some people love scotch, others coffee and some people getting the best shave experience.

If I loved scotch and someone said “yuck, I don’t like it” I wouldn’t somehow assume they were living their life incorrectly or missing out, they just don’t like it.

Yeah, this is true. It also devalues the money I earned earlier. If I log in now I can buy the entire fortune I made years ago with 2’ish PLEX.
Art is often about the value of art these days. It's conceptual rather than beautiful.

"How clever!" they think. And remember that the canvasses would be sold for much more than what it cost.
It looks great, thank you. I think it’s great to introduce accessibility early, but wouldn’t it be a good idea to have a brief introduction to HTML before the accessibility section? Or are you supposed to read about HTML on MDN as part of section 01?
The entirety of human history since prehistoric times to the present gives evidence contrary to your claim. Human societies have experienced exponential growth since forever, with only occasional brief temporary setbacks. Even the Black Death is a blip on the exponential curve of economic progress.

Most of Amazon's employee base are in the warehouses, and there's a significant amount of churn there, especially seasonal.

This is an okay definition but it spreads the definition a little thin as you're conflating Player vs Player (PVP) and Player vs Monster (PVM) tanks.

With PVM, there is no focus from the monsters directly, they have aggression algorithms, and tanks typically have a way of directly manipulating this (draw aggro). They have skills that improve statistics usually defensive, and sometimes can outright prevent damage with well timed skills. They're "Tanks" because they absorb/prevent damage while keeping attention on themselves.

In PVP, Tanks are typically fight starters or stoppers, that is, they come with a skillset that is designed to manipulate the position and movement of other players (often the enemy, sometimes their own), and even sometimes outright incapacitating other players. They are tanks because they have low or 0 damage stun moves, displacement moves (i.e., players are forcibly moved against their will to an disadvantageous position), terrain creation/removal moves (blocks player movement), and typically high health and defensive stats.

Tanks in both cases can start fights because they have to pretty much. Their value is not in the damage, but in their ability to set up fights or to absorb damage/attention. For PVP in particular, tanks tend to have very heavy crowd control so you must be careful about if they decide to engage. The .5-2 seconds that is common for crowd control often is "just enough" to remove your main damage dealers from the fight (temporarily or permanently) and then you're at a disadvantage because the team numbers are against you.

For PVM, the tank wants to start its skill rotation so it can get specific buffs going and active.

ARPGs really don't have tanks btw (mostly RE:Diablo 2). You can certainly build them, but modern diablo forces all players to be damage dealing tanks. Diablo 3 tried to change this a little, but it still just ended up being an "Every stat is perfect" sort of game, and probably with more glass cannon builds.

When the pandemic started and everyone was on lockdown, there were very few cars on the roads around SF. I remember being able to see into the distance so clearly, it was surprising. I read that 2/3 of the SF Bay Area could work remotely. In the age of climate change (not to mention air pollution) we probably should insist on, or even mandate, remote work whenever possible. Supposed productivity benefits from in person work are not as important.
In modern UIs, even screen transitions rely on animations.
It sounds more like the team is rather inexperienced for that kind of work environment.

Communication, the overarching priorities and alignment are super important. I work for a German insurance company and we rolled out crazy amounts of stuff over the last two years and started a re-org that is actually going well.

Also, emotional investment can be quite problematic. All the teams need to work on the overall goal. Having people fixated on their golden toy is a good way to crash into a hard wall.
As a person actively applying in EU... the market reeks candidate desperation. Salaries remained constant or even decreased in numbers despite over 10% inflation. Zero flexibility on the employer side "need 5 years of SRE experience for SRE position, need 5 years of DevOps experience for DevOps position, etc". WTF is going on. With the perspective of mangling my brain on the "next cool" Angular stack I'll remain working on personal projects, thanks.
Looking real good!
I used to work with Singaporean government on a project (which I cannot legally share more about), and, they are actually as dysfunctional technically-wise as any other government.

The dynamics that make government technically dysfunctional are present in Singapore too.

They might be helped by Singapore having so many IT companies of SEA because of low taxes and good rule of law, compared to other countries in the region. (There is no risk of SG government just taking your company away. There is the risk in other SEA countries.) And just sheer power of money. But at the end of the day, it's still a government, with all the good and the bad.
Nah, drone is a mage's summon.
Last I checked, /r/COVID19 was the most scientifically-minded sub on the matter, with a strict no bullshit and no drama policy. One might make that "pro vaccine", I call it "pro science". Vaccines are not an opinion, though some try very hard to suggest so.
Unless we find a way to 'produce' (the P in GDP) without increasing entropy by digging up stuff (oil, metals, whatever) and then releasing them into our ecosystem once we're done with them, those limits seem to be pretty close though.
