The crime was inciting an insurrection. The president was not charged due to partisan politics, no president has ever actually been voted out by the Senate of their own party (correct me if I'm wrong), but historically this has been the most votes received from their party. It's recommended to understand both the background and the event on January 6th to get a clear picture, including attempts to overturn the election.

Twitter is responsible for moderating the users their platform, regardless of whether they are free speech purists. You cannot let your users plot crimes. That's why sites like Silk Road and AlphaBay were shut down.

macOS also does a more strict but tidier hierarchy, grouped into "domains" … /System/* is "stuff from Apple" (including /System/Library, etc.), / is for "stuff on the local machine" (/Applications, /Library, etc.), and then each user can have their own hierarchy in their user directory (~/Applications, ~/Library, etc.).

Of course, the "stuff from BSD" winds up in /bin and /usr/bin anyway, so it's still a mess.

You may be conflating metro areas with cities. If you are, it's not a helpful distinction in either case, and not the point I am trying to illustrate.

For example, I could live in Wise County in Texas, and be technically counted towards the population of the Dallas/FW/Arlington Metro, but I would never dream of driving into Dallas from there daily for services, schooling, or work, and if I did, I would be severely disadvantaged, especially if I was poor or lacked resources.
Wow, how did I miss that earlier... and googling it tells you on two different 3rd party airbnb blogs that you'd do it in your profile settings.

Unfortunately your comment is a pretty common disingenuous representation of the arguments being made from the other side along with some misinformation scattered throughout. Please broaden your news sources so you aren't so easily swayed by the partisan rhetoric. In your defense, the propaganda on this topic has been overwhelmingly strong.

What the law actually says is that teaching about sex or gender _in the curriculum_ is not allowed prior to 4th grade. That goes for heterosexuality as well as LGBTQ. No one is exempt or special. Basically, kids at half the age of puberty should not be taught about sex, full-stop. Let them be kids for a few years longer before they learn about sex.

Of course, the law just addresses material in the curriculum, so having a picture on your desk of your same-sex SO is no problem and you can talk about sexuality with young kids as long as it's not curriculum (still gross imo).

The lesson of HB 1557... don't mess with parents.
Is it though? Seems pretty specific to the tech industry (and some others).

Never heard that there were crazy interview rounds for experienced lawyers, marketers, project managers, even other non-tech engineers. After a certain amount of experience, people assume from your resume that you are not an impostor and interviews are mostly about motivations / behavourial fit.
Why do people have favorite languages? Programming languages are more like tools than say, video games or novels. If someone said they love screwdrivers/impact drivers and hate hammers/nail guns, well... okay. You can build everthing with screws instead of nails, but this can create problems and probably isn't the optimal solution.
>I would suggest that the people you should be angry with are the ones behind the singular corporate uniparty which pits us against each other by creating false narratives and rhetoric that spread through our media ecosystem.

Thats a two way street buddy. I can't listen to the other side if they are blabbering on about their own false narrative. This comment section is full of people who think that its the lefts fault and are absolutely incapable of looking at their own party. I don't know how to explain to you that I do not give a shit about Democrats or Liberal media or the "singular corporate uniparty", let it all burn and I will still be fighting for LGBT rights and there will still be people who think I shouldn't exist.
One of the constant dichotomies that i(and maybe other immigrants) live with are these: The privilege of being a model minority [1] [2] yet being on the edge of having to lose it all if the immigration system shits itself. One might be a senior software engineer paying 100K + in taxes and probably drive EVs and own a home, your largest infraction are parking tickets, yet the risks are asymmetric; the whims of bureaucrats and a border guard who is having a bad day. The purchasing power parity of my $$ salary affords me secure a comfortable financial future, but these are golden handcuffs; You cannot always work for the companies you want because if the company goes bust and you chance to lose a lot.

These are the dichotomies I(and many immigrants) have had to live with. Time is a great healer of things and over time and with financial cushions the dichotomy might fade, I am still not sure it completely goes away. One can only think of the present and make the best of it.

If cryptoland is an island of it's own, it produces nothing that an outside consumer or corporation would pay money for.

So, Revenue is $0 (sure there are intra-island transfers where some crypto-corp buys services from some other crypto-corp).

However, crytpoland has plenty of costs. Electricity, exorbitant salaries, lambos, parties, marketing, compute, capital (servers, gpus). I'd even say to the tune of Billions of $$$. Now they have an additional cost, Interest

So, someone has to fund cryptoland of these $Billion expense, Where does the money come from? Investors, Big and Small.

Yes! You are responsible, but more like responsible for the actions of your child, or, an object you own like a house.

You are not at fault, if you are a good parent, or if you maintain your house well.

So if the child breaks the law, or damages something, if the house has a weakness not known but someone gets injured, you are responsible.

But the due dilligence, such as disciplining, teaching, and trying to instill good values in a child, or inspecting and maintaining your house, are key.

With a democracy, participating, voting, being an activist on vital matters, working to keep your democracy responsible and behaving correctly is that same due diligence.

We're always responsible, but are we at fault? Did we do our best?

Or did we decide that taking care of the child was too much bother, and disappear from their lives?

Did we try, at least?

And twitter posts, facebook this and that don't count here.

Because, would that be how you raise a child? Deriding them on twitter? Yelling at other parents because it was their fault?
Damn, I completely misunderstood what you were saying, sorry!

For some reason I was reading the comment that the average homebuyer is paying 8x their salary for a house. What you've been comparing are median incomes to sales prices. A useful indicator, but not capturing what people are actually paying - it is entirely possible the 'medians' are priced out, especially with such constrained supply.

That makes me feel way less crazy now... apologies again.

Not the op, but to be pedantic, every single international border crossing in the world is an official government “nationality discrimination” department. That’s what passports are for. (Not saying I necessarily agree with this, but it is the world we live in)
No it's not. I wish it were. At my prior job the leadership, all the way to the top, made it uncomfortable for non-Indians to work there. They'd bring people over from India, hold the H1B over their heads, and work the crap out of them. They weren't happy from what I could tell, and most non-Indians left by the time I also did.

And from what I gather that's not an isolated incident.
Oh! So it is!!! Oops, I didn't scroll down enough on the Twitter Thread to see! My bad - thank you!
why do you consider sqlite to not be modern?

> I don’t understand how it will be usable at all in a website with multiple users

With WAL mode enabled the database is locked during writes only, and concurrent writes are queued but you can still perform reads concurrently. If you keep your write transactions small and consider that a lot of apps aren't writing a lot, it can give perfectly good performance for a lot of usecases.

> Is the idea to make your site to every user gets their own database?

You can do... I know of B2B apps that give each billable customer their own database.

> How do you stop SQL injection?

In the exact same way you do in all other flavours of SQL - with parameterized queries.

> Once you solve all of these problems aren’t you better off just using Postgres?

Not necessarily. Postgres gives you a different set of problems and limitations to consider and work around.
For a Cloudflare article, this one is surprisingly light on technical details. And for the product where it most matters.

I'm guessing this is a single master database with multiple read replicas. That means it's not consistent anymore (the C in ACID). Obviously reads after a write will see stale data until the write propogates.

I'm a bit curious how that replication works. Ship the whole db? Binary diffs of the master? Ship the SQL statements that did the write and reapply them? Lots of performance and other tradeoffs here.

What's the latency like? This likely doesn't run in every edge location. Does the database ship out on the first request. Get cached with an expiry? Does the request itself move to the database instead of running at the edge - like maybe this runs on a select subset of locations?

So many questions, but no details yet.

Even with a tourist visa that I got years back it isn't smooth going into the USA anymore (as a shithole-country passport holder). I went many times, but last time I got "the room", for absolutely no reason, and nothing was asked of me but the standard questions. It only took hours in an intimidating setting.

USA, you're just another country. Next time I'll take my tourist money elsewhere.
In English it has in my experience just referred to maps that emphasise human layers more than geological ones. Like you would see national borders, state or county borders, settlements marked on the map, rather than contours, terrain etc. I guess this does make it suitable for looking at electoral results but I think the “political” here refers to this - administrative divisions, not election or polling
AFAIK, South Dakota is the only state in the US where you can legally obtain residency and a driver license using a post office box, provided you spend at least one night in the state. In fact it is encouraged, and is the state in which most US travelers, RV'ers, etc have residency. Plus no state income tax. Low vehicle license and registration fees. NO vehicle inspection. Low insurance rates on health & auto. Indeed there are businesses that will support you with all your residency requirements (including mail scanning & forwarding) for an extremely modest fee (e.g dakotapost.net in Sioux Falls and choosesd.com in Spearfish). The SD banks will gladly open a bank account for you and your business(es) with such residency.

> They have absolutely garbage customer service.

I'm not a customer of AirBnB; I'm the neighbour of an unhosted AirBnB flat, that is let for most of the year. They dump food-waste in my recycling bin; break the common parts, leaving me to fix the damage; come and go at all times of night; and they intimidate me if I'm unlucky enough to meet them.

I'm OK with the old-style "couchsurfing" model. But the unhosted ultra-short letting model means that I don't have a neighbour, instead I live next to a glorified holiday chalet, except that a holiday chalet is usually let for a couple of weeks; this place is rarely let for more than 2 days.

I want to see AirBnB banned from the city I live in.
I tend to be mostly supportive of meritocracy as a driver, but with a pretty wide carve-out. When you declare something to be a meritocracy, you also have to answer one fundamental question: who gets to define merit?

Taken to its (il)logical extreme, unchecked meritocracy is a route to a mix of mercenary rule and nepotism.

The unique thing about Cloudflare's product offerings is how global-first they are; traditional cloud providers (AWS to DigitalOcean) have a very region-oriented domain model, with select christened services allowed or architected to be global (ex: AWS Cloudfront, IAM, Route53, that's about it there). That's their disaster/failure model; but all it really does is force cross-regional architecture onto the customer. Most customers don't bother.

In comparison, everything at CF is global. And its not just "global" from an AWS perspective of "we've got 14 regions and your stuff runs in all of them"; its global from 300+ points-of-presence, within 50ms of like 98% of all humans. CDN for compute, databases, etc.

CF has a way to go in DevEx on many of their products. For example; Workers, being based on V8 Isolates, is a pain to use even compared to e.g. Lambda. It's a battle of figuring out what's possible and what isn't within the runtime. But I'm sure it'll be improved!

It’s unfortunate that most interviewers do not think that the process is two way. The normal interview setup is also very one sided. For a 1 hour session, the interviewer has like 55 min to ask the candidate questions, and leaves only 5 minutes at the end for the candidate to ask them questions.

> The key difference is that MDX supports arbitrarily-complex JavaScript logic (think: docs as code) while Markdoc enforces a strict separation between code and content (think: docs as data).

> Markdoc uses a fully declarative approach to composition and flow control, where MDX relies on JavaScript and React. This means MDX affords users more power and flexibility, but at the cost of complexity–content can quickly become as complex as regular code, which can lead to maintainability complications or a more difficult authoring environment.
Is Crypto Re-Creating the 2008 Financial Crisis?
> From the high prices to the schools filled with grinds

Interesting to see the word "grind" word making a comeback. It's first manifestation was "greasy grind", used as a pejorative for academically hard working immigrant kids - usually Jewish - before WW2.

Before we start applying labels like that to people again, perhaps it would be better to look at the incentive structures that cause people to be so driven academically, even if to a fault.

For example, many of those people might not have a place like the Midwest to move back to, or even if they did, it would be even more hyper competitive (like much of Asia).

> they just want to move back to the midwest and live near the rest of their families in a place where land is cheap and people don't try to compete so hard in high school.

I sympathize with this as I think the SV style academic rat race damages kids' curiosity in the name of status, but the Midwest didn't sit still this whole time.

You will find such hyper competitive academic systems these days in many parts of the Midwest too, especially in the "nice" suburbs that people want to move to with cheaper land, big houses, "good" schools, and probably a short driving distance from a Whole Foods (or similarly posh supermarket).

...'twas ever thus.

But seriously: nothing in my comment was specific to any particular politician. I am a free speech absolutist because I don't trust you to judge what I'm allowed to hear. For all values of "you".

The correct reaction to "omg, this person whom I hate just won the election!" is not to censor the person in some desperate, misguided attempt to prevent people from liking him. It's to offer a better alternative in the marketplace of ideas. Asserting that you can't do this because "society is broken", or similar excuses, is just a cop-out.

My opinion is that finished images from professional photographers are cleaned up interpretations. And increasingly so on an automated basis from smart phone image processing stacks.

Raw images often don't look as good to the eye, even if they contain fairly complete information that a professional or automation can work with to provide a number of different finishing approaches that are pleasing to human perceptions.

This techs raw capture is significantly different from current image sensor data, and their processed image is mostly making it close to a mature "raw" image is sort of how I take the sample photos in the article.
