Because the pay is too low for the required labor. Court dismissed, bring in the dancing lobsters.

Also the way these pro-trade articles always frame college as some nebulous malignant force pulling people away from necessary, "good-paying" trades is a laugh. As if people who have the option to bring home electrical engineer wages and work in an air-conditioned office would choose to become an electrician instead. There will be some small handful, but the incentives push strongly towards one over the other.
The article made it seem like Apple is forcing anyone to get these tools, when they are not. The article heavily falls into the exactly that trap.
>Are they just never taught to lift things correctly?

Part of it is that you find yourself having to lift in awkward positions often while you're having to carry heavy materials through obstacle courses, up on ladders and down stairs in ways that you'll inevitably have to compromise optimal form all while the wage clock is ticking so you have to hurry. In weightlifting you're afforded proper time and place to practice good form. That's coming from a Carpenter for twenty years and a weightlifter for four. Carpentry and a vehicle wreck pretty much destroyed my back but weightlifting and what I've learned from it has helped restore it somewhat.

Both. Good enough electrician to have a long customer list. Figured he could strike out on his own and hire his own crews.

I don't see how that change anything

And the IP of the VPN all the traffic would pass through is definetly not whitelisted...

If they allow Google you could MAYBE host a VPN on google cloud but besides that there is absolutely no way this changes anything

Bullshit, a technical term [1], is not falsehood, but words used with
complete and utter disregard as to whether they are true or false.
Corporate bullshit is the instrumental use of such words to "make the
right noises" and create some semblance of solidity from the gaseous
evacuations of "executive" types. That includes corporate mottos,
mission statements, and product descriptions, and to a large extent
privacy policies, ethics statements and corporate responsibility
pledges.

All fun and games.

The only downside is that our tolerance for such mischief has rendered
any sincere communication void. Nobody with a business that actually
wants to trade on these values has a chance.

Perhaps that is the point of this semantic spam, to discombobulate and
jam the value perceptions of the public so much that they are unable
to differentiate anything genuine from the tide spewed by the
shit-pedlars.

Microsoft Sculpt is quite good. It is not mechanical, not truly split. But one that my hand can agree with. It is also the one I travel with because the mechanical split I have is too heavy.
You think everyone can be an electrical engineer? Or even wants to be an electrical engineer?

If you look at when the trades start earning and if they are willing to go where the high pay is (just like some CS guy won’t make FAANG wages in Ohio), they can do very well.
Good choice, I did too and am loving it!
I agree that the content is not very interesting (to me at least), they still seem to produce a ton of it though. But companies like Disney, Paramount etc. building their own platforms and withdrawing their content from other streaming services makes it hard for Netflix to compete. Especially for families Disney+ is much more attractive due to their large catalog of AAA titles. Netflix just can't compete with that it seems, and all their self-produced movies were at most B+ in my opinion, not a single blockbuster there. I think right now Disney+ is well positioned to take the market lead, they just need to acquire a few more studios (and maybe Netflix itself) and they will have a moat that's impossible to penetrate. Personally I would hope that the market will consolidate, it's just annoying to have content I'm interested in spread out over 5-6 platforms, all requiring separate subscriptions.

>htmx, for example, allows you to place many attributes on parent elements in a DOM and avoid repeating these attributes on children. This is a violation of LoB, in favor of DRY, and such tradeoffs need to be made judiciously by developers.

This is correct but this has little to do with DRY. This is more about making connections clear, which parents tinkering with children in non-explicit ways does not.

>The primary feature for easy maintenance is locality: Locality is that characteristic of source code that enables a programmer to understand that source by looking at only a small portion of it.

Richard's quote at the top of the article was not about deleting or inlining all abstractions so that the code is all in front of the programmers face, it was about making connections or dependencies clear. DRY flat out helps with "Locality of Behavior" by giving the programmer confidence that if they change so-and-so variable or function it will be updated properly throughout the code base. Non-DRY code would require a programmer to search the entire codebase to make sure their change is propagated properly. Not very "local". It also lets the maintainer focus on the LOCAL code instead of wadding through 60 lines of boilerplate such as "setup sql connection".

Basically please avoid conflating DRY with syntactical duplication.
I agree but the essay is so vague as to be meaningless. It's essentially saying "good positions are the result of consistently making the right decisions every single time all the time, over time." One way of reading that is in terms of persistence, another is in terms of luck or circumstance. It's tautological and the essence of survivorship and hindsight bias, rolled into one.

Essays like this are infuriating, because they sidestep the hardest problem, which is knowing what all these correct decisions are in a chain of decisions. That they are unknowable — maybe undefinable, if you consider what a "good position" is — is what undermines the thesis of the essay.

The candy bar example is trite and maybe illustrative: everyone ends up in poor health some day. It's death. Is that bad position the result of poor choices? Is someone who was a passenger in a plane accident at fault? Sure, you could say they made the wrong decision as to what flight to take — but is that the best way to think about the situation? Isn't it better to focus on helping them rehabilitate if they're still alive, and to prevent a similar accident from happening again? How is it helpful to blame the passengers?
Poor city planning and downright regulation is what causes those property (and maintenance) costs to rise in first place.

Gov is literally controlling supply (planning, permits, inspections) and demand (immigration, interest rates).

Whats even more ironic is social housing tends to not be built to the building code or maintained to safe level aka gov fails their own regulation.

Where I’m at gov makes you pay for future infrastructure like drainage they might install someday even if you make your own system!
Music is a big part of my life and I get this a lot. I've seen particular shows where this has been such a thing I remember it years later.

Jeff Buckley's Grace is an album that does this for me - I recently got the chance to listen to it at a Pitchblack Playback (https://pitchblackplayback.com/), which I absolutely recommend to any music fans. The heightened senses do very strange things to you, especially when it's already an evocative record!
I have used it a lot under Linux. It's easy to get objects perfectly aligned. Although I've experienced problems with really large files.

I have even used it for design of complex footprints for electronic components before redoing them in KiCAD (electronic design software), because I found QCAD to be less clunky.
> Uh...Germany's actually recarbonized by shutting down their nuclear

Germany has most definitely not recarbonized. Germany has consistently reduced CO2 emission over the last few years, it would have been quicker if Germany had kept nuclear online no question, but that's really how impressive renewables have become. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/production-vs-consumption...

Just because you was stole something does not mean you can steal it again and again every time owners get it back.
Yeah you might think because they're a government organization they could never produce a good motion picture.

I have a very high opinion of the Navy. Well I doubt that I do compared to reality, but I know that I do compared to the media. According to Daniel Cussen, the Navy stays above the waterline at all times. Maybe sometimes it's close to the waterline but never does it drown. Other organizations go farther above that line, but they sink below it other times.

Now, perhaps if you see it as average distance above the waterline you can construct an argument that it's therefore better than the Navy.

No, because the Navy doesn't drown.

I don't care how high you float, the only real question is if you never drown.
> Ignorant?

Either disingenuous or ignorant, yes.

> Energy storage is not a short or medium term solution.

The primary role of energy storage systems in renewable energy sources is to balance supply and demand. Your assertion makes no sense because it ignores even the most fundamental aspects of the problem domain.

> Pumped hydro is already maxxed out pretty much everywhere it's possible as not all dams are suitable -- in fact most aren't. Battery storage for large grids currently covers minutes of use, a few hours may be attainable. But wind can be absent for days or weeks, and there's such a thing as winter when you're as far from the equator as Germany.

Irrelevant. You're trying to put up a strawman based on a fictitious scenario where energy production comes from a single source: wind. It's the tired old meme from two decades ago.

Meanwhile, back in the real world not only are power grids distributed at a continental level but there also multiple sources of power feeding into that grid, including imported energy generated from renewable sources.
This is one of the advantages of Wayland
Horses.

They're cute, smart, interesting, kind, bring you back to the present like nothing else, and there's so much you can live with them, from quiet to high energy moments.

Working with them (the right way) forces you to learn patience, communication, emotion management and to curb your ego.

I would say, of all the strong defining events in my life, horses brought me the most and the best.

Want you bet your freezing bottom on it? "Less likely" does not cut it for a vital commodity. Famine, drowning and thirst also occur when a commodity that's otherwise readily available on average isn't. They're considered somewhat unpleasant.
The powers that be aren't trying to crash it all on purpose, nobody wants another 2008. They have produced a pretty hands-off response, because of a number of factors. Crypto has an explicit project to escape US regulation, so lots of money is in e.g. the Bahamas and difficult to target. Many companies are trying really hard to avoid even having US customers, so that's a hands-off win for regulation as the feds have nobody to protect from e.g. Binance directly. The big companies that do operate in the US have led a mostly successful campaign to position themselves as innovators and deserving of a long leash, IMO too successfully as only now is the SEC feeling the pressure to clamp down. There is a long tail of complex regulatory actions to take against really quite small individual operations. Finally I think a lot of this has been influenced to a huge degree by the cheapness of cash, and increasing interest rates will do a lot of the work people want to see from regulation by forcing people to make better investments and making bonds/deposits more appealing as people look for an alternative to the apparent huge risk that they're discovering they've been given a premium for taking on until now.

The answer on regulation is a mix, then. Some of it has been effective (if only at scaring off potential investor dangers completely), some of it is difficult, some of the response is underwhelming. So far there hasn't been a 2008-scale meltdown because it hasn't been a big enough market to have a domino effect, and I still don't think it is yet, so really now's the time to take preventive measures but it's not too late for that. It is too late to protect all the people who've lost big so far, but that is a much smaller number than those who suffered in 2008. In my opinion the movers and shakers who care about worldwide financial stability are tuning in around the right time and are overwhelmingly accepting that regulation is going to be necessary. I predict the EU and the US will both push some pretty solid efforts soon; EU through explicit regulation, US through maybe some legislation but definitely through better enforcement.
Nuclear power is a terribly difficult engineering problem. You can't just put a nuclear power plant in your backyard. You can do that with wind or solar though.

Carbon taxes are hated by average citizens more than nuclear power because of the evil tax word.
That 1972 picture somehow implies none of Russian escalation of aggression between late 1990 and 2022 happened?

> Expectancy violations (e.g., harmonic, rhythmic, and/or melodic violations) are strongly correlated to the onset of musical frisson

Listening to Funkadelic's Maggot Brain album while under the influence of strong hallucinogens turned my regular frissons into full blown waves of pleasure in my body, which I remember were directly correlated to harmony, call-and-response and the play of consonance and dissonance that's so taken for granted in music.

A dissonant chord would make me tense up, and the subsequent resolution would just feel like a blanket of warm pleasure rolling over me.
Note that “cashing out” in some EU countries means transacting your cryptocurrency tokens in any way, not just trading them for money.

Example:

Sweden taxes your gains when you transact a cryptocurrency holding, also when you exchange from one cryptocurrency to another. [1]

Same for Denmark [2].

Check your relevant tax legislation for your local rules.

no one in this thread is promising utopia. i am merely pushing back against assertions of bitcoin being "most equitable".

late entrants add value to networks, and some of that value accrues to early entrants. this is the same for any network. a publicly accessible ico is just as equitable as someone mining btc with their cpu on low difficulty.

once the price of the token goes up, the difference between someone who was invited there early versus found their own way in does not matter to the new adopters. the inequity is felt purely based on the token price difference rather than the security mechanic.
How to sneak information past the big Russian filter
The last time I was on an flight that had WiFi (AA about 5 years ago) I tried 2 ways to get around the captive portal, both successful:

1. Setting my useragent to iOS Safari and trying to download the Gogo Player app to watch one of the free films. If you have Android this just serves the APK but on iOS it just has to dump you to the App Store. This seemed to give me a good half hour of connectivity.

2. I went on the live chat and asked for a free connection. The agent gave it to me.
Some kid-oriented shows seem to get by just fine, albeit their story lines don't necessarily connect. Sponge Bob, and Big City Greens are two of my favorite kid shows with a ton of episodes. Maybe I just like kid shows...

Of course, and if you look at when degreed engineers start earning (not even mentioning benefits, bonuses, equity...), and if they are willing to go where the high pay is, both numbers are higher. Until that's not true, until the lifetime earnings of trades is at parity or higher than college-bound careers, the incentives will always be lined up that college is the better choice from an earnings point of view.

Money isn't everything. Not everyone will pick the options that lead to the highest lifetime earnings/earliest retirement/least risk of on the job injury, but most will if given the option. Pretending that isn't true doesn't benefit anyone.
Where I live (NZ), 50 years ago they had apprenticeships. Behold the fruit of deregulation.

Well, it would be one of many. Considering building an SPA for a paywalled content site would be a little surprising to me in the first place, but it would make a lot of sense to me for any of the behind-the-scenes or account management facilities you'd only ever see once you've logged in. I wouldn't expect the content view to either be sufficiently interactive on its own, or sufficiently interactive when coupled with other aspects of the UI, to require the complexity of an SPA at all.
This comparison (Hamburg to Rome) is silly.

Any tax on value is an eventual confiscation of the entire value given enough time, unless you have enough appreciation to outpace it (which likely is inflation).

There’s no way to borrow against a property to pay a 2% tax for mor than fifty years, for example. You need an outside source of funds, or appreciation.

I highly recommend you check with your local/regional library to see what streaming services they will give you access to for free. My local library in Canada offers a couple of services that have a really interesting catalogue of films from all over the world as well as some recent classics.

It seems very unsurprising to me that Apple internally uses industrial tools and custom jigs and fixtures to repair iPhones. Right? Like, it would be super weird if they used low-cost hand tools.

So is the complaint here that in addition to making the parts available to purchase, and a rental program for the “industrial” gear, they should also have developed a parallel set of low-cost tools and procedures for the hobby/personal market?

I think that’s a red-herring. A home hobbyist would be better off going “great, thanks for the parts, I’m off to pay iFixit for some tools. Oh and now give us schematics and parts for when I work out how to do SMD rework”

(And for pro shops, the price quoted for those pelican cases strikes me as an absolute bargain, if they don’t already have tools they like better)
Pulse was a long time ago. I think it was a bad idea to not cover low latency, but it's not Lennart's fault if distros shipped it too soon. It works fine now, and was a lot nicer than raw ALSA at the time. But Pipewire is definitely an upgrade.
Not sure what you allude to with Oculus, but the Oculus Quest is the best selling VR headset ever and is growing like crazy. With their research, they've also pushed the technological boundaries (things like inside out tracking, the new pancake lenses coming with Cambria by the end of this year, passthrough).

I truly believe that VR headsets will become the major computing platform. Not in the next 5 years, and not overnight, but eventually.

This access is fast and cheap enough for unbanked people to access it.

These unbanked people would also have access to things like smartphones and computers because crypto doesn't exist in real world.

And yet those countries would not have banking infrastructure.
