>page about Terrorism

I said extremist wings, not terrorist. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you are defending left wing extremism by pointing out that there is more right wing extremism. I don't dispute that there is more right wing extremism, but you seem to be ignoring left wing extremism. I'm of the opinion that extremism and violence for any cause is unjust.

>There's not really, "both sides" here. Today's conservatives (aka "the right") seem to have a monopoly on violence as well as "shutting down discussion"

Only if you completely ignore the actions of one side. There were quite a few left wing extremist actions in 2020 during the BLM/police brutality protests, including rioting, arson, and CHAZ. You might believe in what they are fighting for (as do I) but I certainly don't condone some of the tactics employed.

>Today's conservatives (aka "the right") seem to have a monopoly on violence as well as "shutting down discussion" of various topics...

As I pointed out, they certainly don't have a monopoly on violence, unless you are intentionally ignoring it. You might want to check your biases and understand that extremism on either side stands to destabilize our civilization and push us into barbarism. You shouldn't excuse or ignore either.
I don't find gawker's new design to be particularly pleasant, subjectively speaking, but I do find it quite refreshing.

The 201X's world wide web was extremely dull, corporate, and homogenous; I won't be sad to leave it behind.
I feel that moving from Monaco to VS Code OSS (which is based on Monaco) is analogous to moving from a custom protocol on top of tcp to the standard http protocol.

It's a big change, but not necessarily groundbreaking or noteworthy.
Did this improve the hard clay underneath or did you just add enough soil on top for things to grow?

You can destroy carriers even without sattelites and firing rockets from far away.

Small fast vessels can be used to search for the carrier and they can fire missiles.

Also, carriers have to be at a certain distance from the shore to mount an attack from them. Once they are close to the shore I'd say they are easy to spot.

A carrier in the middle of the ocean is harder to find and destroy, but it can't be used for attacking, and that's what a defending nation needs: enough deterring power to keep the carrier far from its shore.
It's likely coming (along with a slew of other no-code solutions). But perhaps nobody is seriously pursuing this yet — you could have a startup idea on your hands!
Yep, python has the same option, it's called re.VERBOSE and aliased as re.X.

What stops this virus from evolving/mutating to kill healthy cells and then becoming contagious?

Do we have effective measures to stop this virus in the event that this occurs? If so, what are they?

Edit: I don't know a lot about virology. Please don't downvote an honest question.
> I don't want to do all development-related tasks in my web browser

You don't need to use a browser to do remote development. Emacs has been able to remote dev through SSH for ages. Not only opening files, but also launching processes. VSCode also has this feature via an extension that works automatically.

> I want to be able to experiment with the software in various local setups

Precisely. Not everyone has a suitable local machine, maybe because of security, maybe because access to data or maybe because needed hardware.

> Are people really clamoring for this feature?

Absolutely. I think it's truly part of the success of jupyter notebooks, to put an example.
> How does this make you feel? Do you agree that “Choosing one side must exclude the other”? Is this an applicable statement to make in this context?

This seems straightforward to me.

We are talking about people who have been victimized by another person, and may have a great deal of trauma from that event.

We likely wouldn't question it even slightly if they said they could not work with their abuser. Working with someone who was convicted of performing the same (or similar) abuse on a different person wouldn't be too much different from that I don't think.

yaaawwnn "40 percent of programs do not pay"

The same could be said for many things. Does not mean it's a scam . Typical clickbait hype. The grad program in women's studies at a bottom 100 university probably will not pay as well as electrical engineering at a top 20. But, in the aggregate, the data consistently shows grads make more, and this holds after factoring in student loan debt and it holds across a wide range of schools and majors, but top schools and STEM will pay more, but this has been known forever...

I don't think it's quite that simple. Everywhere I've worked with Javascript, Python, or Ruby you run into a bunch of random issues that happen with a specific MacOS update or some other crazy context. Or the documentation just isn't the company's priority.

However I do agree that web-only seems a bit much. Just last night I was doing some company work on my laptop while my power was out (no internet).

The nice middle ground is dockerized development containers in VSCode, IMO. Very excited to set that up when I get a chance. And they translate right into all these fancy web IDEs (like Github codespaces) so you can have a dev env in the cloud if you really want to, and snag it for a plane or train ride etc.
If you play competitive sports you would see there is a huge skill set that is learned via sports.

Teamwork, acting/thinking under pressure, detailed preparation, controlling nerves, performing in front of crowds (with high expectations), pride in your body and performance.

These are just a few high level/low hanging fruits learned from competitive sport.

I think a lot of people give to philanthropy just purely for recognition that philanthropy unique provides.

I think it'd be an interesting experiment to celebrate the highest tax payers the same way we celebrate those in the Forbes 500 with magazine covers and the way non-profits celebrate their biggest donors with gala dinners.

Celebrating tax contributions and rewarding the contributor (on an opt in basis) could be hugely beneficial for certain types of wealthy individuals. Often times wealthy people enjoy being on these lists as it helps their business, PR, etc. in addition to recognition.

I think it would lead to healthier discourse as the tax contributor would be effectively be saying - of all the philanthropic causes I could support, I am purposely choosing to give up that right and instead contribute it via taxes to my country because I believe in its people to vote intelligently and the elected politicians to act in the best interests of those people.
Optimizing Deployments for Cloud Functions
I don’t even know how I would develop with something like this.

My entire workflow is based around tens of little scripts I’ve written. Many scripts tend to be unique to a single project.

For example, I’m currently working in a project that’s based on an open source front end framework that has been discontinued for over 5 years. Creating a new component requires the creation of 3 different files with a ton of boilerplate. And there are many types of components that can go in different locations.

A simple Unix script means I can create all with the boiler plate in an instant. If I want to open a component it automatically opens all 3 files. And if I’m working on multiple bugs/features simultaneously I can create “workspaces”, by entering file names in a text file for each workspace and open each workspace instantly (or automatically on switching on my computer).

This is just one, probably least impressive, but extremely useful, piece of functionality I simply won’t be able to do (or if they provide some sort of API, it will require a bunch of code with a foreign API for me to execute).
My favorite executive summary of the crypto elliptic curves is this:

> Most cryptography libraries offer optimized assembly implementations of NIST P-256, which makes it less likely that your signing operations will leak timing information or become a significant performance bottleneck.

Having implemented the nist curves in assembly myself before, I must say it always amused me, how a language even more memory unsafe than C, can actually make crypto implementations stronger.

Over nine years, whereas the US spends nearly $1 trln dollars every year on the military now.
I suggest they rewrite Teams in the bin.

I think the book deals with a bacteria-based pandemic of unspecified origin. It does have a much, much better plot than the movie tho.
Well, that's sort of what this is: the article in question is written by and for medical professionals.

I actually agree, at least partially: I think both people-first language and acronyms have the potential to depersonalize, even if they prevent more general dehumanization. But I also think there are plenty of contexts in which their use makes sense, like an article written for a medical audience (like this one).
OP here. I think those are good points.

Particularly: "perhaps the plan is not what ended up mattering so much as having someone who was willing and able to push it through.". This is very true. It was a combination of having tenacity to grind through a lot of politics and repetitive conversations and doubts that everyone had, while also addressing extremely real technical and process issues. Previous leaders often brought one or the other to the team: they either knew what needed to be done technically but couldn't push a plan through, or were politically savvy enough to get changes implemented but they just ended up moving deckchairs around. When I stepped in, I inherited a team that did this twice previously and everyone had zero trust and learned helplessness. I wrote this up and tried to emphasize the slowness of the process and the fact that it wasn't a "one simple trick" type approach because that was the case.

Or: "If no one will listen to you or take your advice, it's worthless." This is true. We had a few really brilliant developers cursed with a cassandra complex: they correctly identified the problems but given their way of communicating, they actually fostered resistance to the changes. Communication of the plan and building consensus is as important as the plan itself, if not moreso. Every plan will need to be adjusted based on reality and context, but as long as you build consensus and goodwill, you'll be able to have that flexibility.

With regards to your point about technical staff, we were an enterprise sales organization where decision making was concentrated in the finance and sales departments. It was extremely sales driven. The reason we were able to push this through was precisely because the company had lost faith in product and engineering to accomplish anything after a series of poor launches and chronically missed deadlines. I actually think the problem is that if engineering leadership did have more trust, they would have pushed back on this. It didn't look good to "give up and try to just do one thing at a time" as we did. For most organizations, that's painfully radical. But in the words of Munger/Buffet: "Don't just do something, sit there!"
Drinking to the point of impairing memory would seem at best impair judgement and ensure the person has no way to discern whether they consented or not.

I see no reason to treat that as valid consent millions of people in the states live in states that wouldn't.

Morally respecting partners rights costs you nothing.
This is the first I've heard of a harmonium, although it's immediately obvious to me that I've listened to it before. I have to admit it doesn't sound at all like an Indian instrument to my Western ears. Perhaps I've been spoiled by the sitar and flute, as played by the likes of Ravi Shankar and Paul Horn, with beautifully fluid transitions between notes, but the harmonium seems oddly rigid and tonally out of place in my concept of Indian classical, unless it were relegated to use as a drone (which it would do wonderfully).
By the way, Monaco is 10MB+.

That's quite impressive nowadays for something so feature filled, but you're staying for 10MB when doing quick edits.

Monaco is a mature, powerful and pluggable, which makes it a good platform to build on top of. More cynically, it's a good bang-for-the-buck project if you are seeking a promotion. The alternative is building your own. Maybe that doesn't make good business sense. And that's exactly why I'm crafting a good enough web-based code editor under 14KB ( a single TCP roundtrip ). I was optimistic for Cloud9. It was built from the ground up, for the web, and was at a suite spot between being light but entirely suitable inline code edits.
I recommend the Don Camillo stories from G. Guareschi.

It's kind of a balm for when I feel particularly atheist and annoyed at the world at large.
Does anyone still care about Forbes covers? this is not 2001 anymore. Forbes along with Fortune are just shity user contributor content farms now. They got in early on the content farm bandwagon.
What fields? Honest question, not trying to flame you.

I've known people who got scholarships but can't say I'm aware of any field in which paying for your own graduate degree is rare.
But doesn’t this also mean “a conflict can be moved off the battle field and into the ballot box?”

And isn’t that what happened in Ireland?

You're thinking of STEM fields. No one pays for a PhD in STEM. But not all masters programs have guaranteed funding. This is going to vary dramatically across schools and very much so across programs. That said, the only person I know in CS that paid for a masters at my uni chose to (and only did so for one term). Outside of that, people I know in the English department, Philosophy, and others, they are paying.
> For instance, at many public schools, teachers with master's degrees in education earn more than those without them.

Funny that the author should use an education degree as an example of a non-scam. Yes, it might have a positive return on income because of competition by credential-ism, but almost any teacher will privately confide that the majority of what they study for their degree is worthless drivel. A teacher could be trained much cheaper with a short course and then as an apprentice to an experienced teacher for a half a year.

[*] I'm not questioning the need for domain knowledge; a high school science teacher should have taken science courses. Irrationally, a high school science teacher typically has massively more "education" coursework than science.
I was thinking about these web trends today. The buzzy and dizzying color palettes make it more interesting but some are less legible than old geo cities. I almost always use the reader mode in Safari for long content. I also invest time in thinking through the best means to keep the web relatively open without ads and without borders. An average page load for major web destinations drives several cents (USD) in revenue. How many pages do people visit per day? It is not a negligible amount of revenue generated per person per day.

What's unique to DeFi is that they're trying to circumvent there laws trying to prevent harm to others, while still wanting to be protected themselves.
I also have Generalized Anxiety Disorder but don't have the other diagnoses you have, so please take what I have to say with a grain of salt. I really sympathize with what you wrote. My GAD was getting worse (feeling a rise in anxiety just from typing those words) and I eventually got it together to start seeing a therapist. It has helped quite a bit and I wish I had started seeing someone earlier. My appointments are in-person but when I was looking around, I found that a lot of therapists offer their services online. Perhaps you could find an option where the person was okay with your video being turned off to make it easier for you to talk.

I do hope you find a better job that fits with your conditions and I don't mean to minimize your efforts in that direction.
It's getting off topic, but I love how we interpret Knuth's works like those of Rashi[1] interpreting the Talmud:

His commentary on Tanakh—especially on the Chumash ("Five Books of Moses")—serves as the basis for more than 300 "supercommentaries" which analyze Rashi's choice of language and citations, penned by some of the greatest names in rabbinic literature.

That seems like healthier political discourse would need to precede (rather than naturally follow) such a system.

There are several causes I support; none of them are close to and just slightly more effective than giving that money to the government.
I feel like 2022 is the slowest edition I have used. My 2017 instance is still significantly faster. I've also had a hell of time with "Hot Reloading" and even the debugger in general.
That TikTok voice is actually painful to hear. Surely there must be some better way to narrate your videos.
I mean in the sense that it's not cash assistance to the poor; instead, it's the government saying "these are the things you need to buy" and providing a voucher system for those particular things. You cannot decide that you want to economize on food and spend half your SNAP benefits on liquor, and so you cannot decide that you want to economize on food and spend half your SNAP benefits on a car repair to upgrade to a better job that you'd have to drive to.

> we could call ... tax forms social engineering

Tax forms are obviously social engineering. The government incentivizes (having kids, having a mortgage, saving for retirement, charitable giving) and disincentivizes all kinds of things via the tax code.

I liked editing my yard when I could. It's another summer of frustration as the Virginia Creeper and Weed Trees take over while I'm incapacitated, again! (Eye surgery this time) I'm hoping to get back out there by August, kill off a few hundred trees, and recommence the great edit.

In general, creating and curating things are the bees knees. Taking an idea, and bringing that into the world is fun as heck.
I don't think it makes sense to say you support the right to reintegration and then argue that the idea of 'potential future victims' is enough to remove someone from a job. Anyone can be a potential future victim following that logic, so this person could never really be integrated at all.

I think sex offenders elicit emotional responses in these discussions and that the position isn't tenable at least for someone who purports to favor reintegration.

I'll pick a particularly thorny and controversial example but I think it's necessary. Imagine a member of a minority group with a background of severe violent crime spoke at a conference, he went to prison and served his sentence. Now someone attending says they don't feel save with him in the room and that the person should never hold an administrative job again. What would be the response to that?
Thanks for bringing that up. It gives me an opportunity to introduce this statement from the relevant Wikipedia page, which I think sums up the situation pithily:
