Non-profit institutions with billion-dollar endowments, massive overhead costs, and "tuition" charges that make no sense. I have a really hard time believing this for the larger institutions.
Even on the Python level it seems much better to use the logging module and attach a handler to sys.stdout. if all you need is to print some stuff to the console just attach a handler with logger.addHandler(logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)). You can attach other handlers for files or to send the logs via some network interface and you can silence or filter as desired. You can even attach metadata so that you can process the messages in different ways depending on what you want to do with that metadata. This can all be done separate from the calling code so the main logic just need to know log this message at this severity and all the processing filtering and transmission will be handled by the logger.
>Just because one has a right to privacy, it doesn't follow that everything done in private is legal.

No one, anywhere, has ever argued that the right to privacy means everything done in private is legal. That is not even remotely close to what the debate is about.

You have constructed an impressively bad strawman.

I can't make sense of lots of this.

- Without self-replicating grey goo, infinite scalability is surely more a property of some kind of networked computer rental business (like AWS) rather than a database.

- What does 'serverless' mean exactly? My understanding is that it denotes a stateless application which is executed to serve a request but doesn't run continually as a daemon. Essentially the aforementioned computer rental business provides the event loop and the program provides the event handler. I fail to see how this is compatible with a database, which is definitionally very stateful. (And that encompasses much, much more than just the data.)

- 'Intelligence': Databases already are intelligent and self-optimising, and have been at least since MySQL/Postgres: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/cost-model.html#cost...

- 'Fundamentally reliable': This idea could reasonably be described as, uh, 'not novel'.

- 'Distributed globally, locally available': As far as I can tell, this collection of words is entirely devoid of any meaning. It sounds like it came out of a random passphrase generator.

- 'Scale should not come at the cost of performance'. While technically semantically meaningful, this is not novel or interesting, and I'm pretty sure this has been a pleasant daydream for database designers since databases were stored in punchcards. As far as I can see, this is comparable to saying 'houses should not come at the cost of money'.

This feels more like a laundry list of daydreams rather than a meaningful narrowing-down of how future databases will be architected. "It should be infinitely scalable, usable by a toaster, and it shouldn't need a computer to live on. It should be serverless and stateless but also self-optimising and with connection pooling. It should be consistent, available, and, uh, partitions, it should be cool with those too. It should be usable by anyone and perfectly tailored to their needs as well as to the opposite needs. Also..."

Attempts to explain the other side, or to knock down bad arguments from "my" side so better ones can replace them, are indeed often met with unpleasantness.

Lasers also suffer from easily deployed countermeasures. Anyone who has been passed by some truck rolling coal can attest to how trivial it is for anything running a combustion engine to be modified to foul the air around it to the point of zero visibility. In addition, flying projectiles like missiles, mortars, or ICBMs can simply spin such that the laser has to heat the whole circumference of the body rather than a single point in order to be effective, which they may be doing anyway for stabilization

I have a bug where every time my server restarts and Nginx Proxy Manager starts up, it gives all my proxy hosts incorrect SSL certificates. In order to get my services working again I have to open NPM, manually open each host, and press edit, and (without making changes), press save.

This bug has existed for a year and a half in Github without any response from the developers.

As much as I like NPM, I need to move onto something more reliable.
That's your own characterization, and not universal. I've personally seen the term more often in non-conservative forums and circles. Not that it matters to your point, which I get and agree with.

Well, sure, but it isn't like taxes are that much higher - honestly, my taxes moving from the US to Norway weren't realistically higher than state + federal + health insurance, and if you consider the out of pocket for health care, the bill is cheaper. Not to mention that Folks that go to school and wind up working a lower-paying job (teaching, for example) aren't on the hook for all of it either.

And you aren't even paying for the same sort of things: Many colleges have sports teams in the US, for example, and the degrees take longer in the US. For example, you don't have to get an undergraduate degree in Norway to become a doctor so you spend less time actually in school.
$2100/mo for a tiny studio, $2400+ for 1 bed room apartment, or even $3k for a two bedroom where I am in Southern California. If the 30% rule is to be followed, a person would have to be pulling in $7,200/mo for 1 bedroom...that would be a salary of $130k/yr.

No idea. But aren't those campuses wonderful with their huge buildings, new carpet, great landscaping, and every admin staff member has an amazing office chair and fitout. They even refresh that carpet every year along with brand new seating. The art! Its always changing as well. The university cars are great too. I've seen plenty of amazing cars that researchers drive around. The libraries are constantly changing each month. They renovated that building just last summer, didn't they? That oval is being redone as well. Amazing.

Like I said, no idea. Ok, maybe some idea.
Not to mention it's awfully presumptive to apply it to people facing the issue. I.e., invariably its those who are pro-rights who are told to understand the other side; why? If you can't get pregnant, your opinion on abortion -necessarily- is secondary to those who can, and it's they who need to seek to understand (and, I would argue, that in the same way that "wisdom is knowing you know nothing", sufficient understanding means realizing you can't fully understand because it doesn't directly effect you; that doesn't mean you can't have an opinion, but it does mean you shouldn't be trying to enforce it upon those actually effected by it).
As usual, a new technology with "trust" in the name turns out to actually be something evil. This is DRM designed to keep the owner of a computer from having insight or control into processes running on it.

It's because they're cheap, easy to deploy, and effective. And Russian planes need to fly low because of other anti air weapons and a general lack of precision munitions.

If you're truly forward-thinking you'd start planning for multiplanetary databases. Get a leg up on the competition by the time humans reach Mars.

The core issues of planetary database systems have mostly been solved already. What about database systems which have to deal with time dilation due to running on spacecraft that travel through space at different velocities?

But in all seriousness, one of the core features missing in modern database systems is a way to smoothly handle tracking and deploying changes. Why are online schema changes so difficult?

No, it just shows how extreme your property thinking is. A child is the property of their parents and they should be able to do with it, what they want?

Nope. Those times have passed.

And even in savage times, where this might have been more common, there was certainly social backslash, too.

Almost every serious non-partisan legal scholar agrees that Roe v. Wade is on tenuous legal footing. It's purely a logical argument, and it doesn't follow very well from the Constitution. We have a very simple mechanism to rectify this: amend the Constitution. But that ship has long sailed, and the problem now is stare decisis†, which complicates things further. So there's a very real justification for keeping Roe in spite of its shortcomings. But that's neither here nor there.

The issue isn't that people don't understand arguments, it's that they misrepresent them. A rational, reasoned, mature, back-and-forth debate on abortion won't get you views and clicks, so of course no one does it. Panem et circenses.

† And of course Casey, which reaffirmed Roe.

'In the past few years, though, the anti-abortion movement has moved in a different direction. In 2019, Alabama legislators passed an abortion ban that lacked rape and incest exceptions. Nine other states—Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas—have passed similar laws. Courts blocked all the laws but Texas’s; if Roe is overturned, it will be a felony for any Texas doctor to perform an abortion for a woman who was raped or impregnated by a family member. In March, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey signed an early-abortion ban without rape or incest exemptions.'

It’s a genuine issue I’ve got with Caddy, and if someone recommends Caddy, I’m justified to mention the drawbacks of Caddy.

In this case, a user recommended switching from nginx to Caddy, and nginx users (who expect trailing dot domains to just work) should keep this drawback in mind.

Every time you compare Caddy or Traefik to nginx or apache, you should expect to also see the drawbacks of Caddy and Traefik mentioned.

Is it? I strongly disagree with such a position. But it seems clear to me that many such people:

1. Believe that the foetus is alive (and often also that it is human)

2. Believe that life is sacred or otherwise precious.

3. Believe that the foetus's right to life outweighs the mother's right the self-determine use of her body.

I can understand how one can have a thought process like that even if I think it's wrong in numerous different ways.
Same here. I find it very annoying that on most major issues, the sides argue at right angles to one another. They say the other side is wrong without saying what they believe is wrong. Anti-abortion activists don't address the issue of bodily autonomy and pro-abortion activists don't address the issue of the definition of personhood. If you're like me and settled on strictly-consistent stances on the topic you find yourself with some extraordinarily unpopular opinions, to both sides.
Religion is like a firewall keeping logic out based on old rules and whitelists.
The v prefix really helps us only run ci on version tags instead of random tags as well. If you are strict and always use semantic versions for tags, you can just keep doing what you are doing. But if you ever want to create some random tag later and don't want your automation to try to use it as a version number, the v prefix helps.

The KSP reference, probably not well expanded, was in comparison to the 2018 Intel Mac Mini I had previously, which basically could not play it - it was barely livable with graphics turned all the way down, because Intel Integrated Graphics on that era Mac Mini suck (I don't think it even had the eDRAM cache).

KSP ran fine on my 2014 iMac with discrete graphics. It absolutely did not run acceptably on the 2018 Mac Mini, and it ran wonderfully on the ARM M1.

But, no, the post was not satire. Not sure why you would think it was. It was trying to, very soon after the M1 came out, work out some concrete ways to do Linux VMs and such, and playing with performance.

Speaking as someone living in Italy sometimes it's worse than activism: it's pure laziness.

I (27 y/o) recently discovered that my sister's (16 y/0) History teacher hasn't done more than a week of lessons in the entire year: he comes in class, turn on the IWB (Interactive Whiteboard, the last unnecessary technology creeping in school), put on a video and let them watch while she do whatever she fancies.

During the entire year, out of a 400 page History textbook, they have done 39 pages. Now it is clear why there was so much opposition to the idea of online lessons: parents could finally see that their kids were not lying when they said that the teachers were incompetent.

The worst thing is that the teachers' mafia here refuse any kind of evaluation while teachers while touting the necessity of evaluation for the students: they are basically unfirable and devoid of any form of accountability.

I could stay entire evenings recalling events that should never happen in a normal school set[1], and that would be easily prevented with some quality control: they do not even need to be good teachers, just decent persons.

[1]One of my "teachers" used the fact the a dear friend of my classmate was killed in a car crash to mock her, the only satisfaction was having the entire class scream that she was a "dumb bitch": this in a very high-income, sophisticated, old money school.

The Neptune is a rather unremarkable anti-surface missile with underwhelming capabilities.

It had enough range to reach the target from shore, enough precision to hit it, and enough warhead to kill it. That's good enough.

The lesson from this is that warships can no longer operate with impunity near a hostile shore against a reasonably equipped opponent. "Near" is at least 100km. A truck-mounted system can now take out a major combatant vessel.

Finding large ships isn't that difficult any more. They show up on everything from civilian satellite imagery to drone cameras.
Waste management is the smallest of nukes' problems.

That doesn't mean it is negligible, it just means the others are much bigger.
You don't even need to "design and test" controls cabin controls. There are companies that make that stuff. You call their sales department, spend a lot of time emailing back and forth. Exchange CAD models, etc, etc, magic happens and a pallet of assemblies that fit in you dash and plug into the stuff you need to shows up at the loading dock of your manufacturing facility.

The problem is that you can't market your creation as a yuppie status symbol when you've built stuff using off the shelf parts. Some snarky reviewer will point out that you're using some switch in common with their 10yo car or that the out of sight portion of your HVAC is copy-pasta'd from a minivan and the internet idiot will whip themselves into a frenzy over it.

I'm sure the engineers would just love to call up someone who makes that stuff just buy a battle tested solution but that is simply not compatible with the realities of the product they're working on.
This has nothing to do with Ukraine, and everything to do with inflation and insane increases in the cost of everything.
From Finnish perspective. "Impacted" might also mean role change. That is you are moved to new role or there is some type of other reorganization potentially, not just laid off or mandatory leave...

Alabama:

“The Human Life Protection Act "defines all unborn children as persons". It bans abortions AT ANY STAGE OF A PREGNANCY. The law provides for exceptions in cases where a fetus has a lethal anomaly (a medical condition that would cause the fetus to be stillborn or to die shortly following birth), or in cases where a pregnancy would "present serious health risk" to the woman. The law also allows abortions to be performed "upon confirmation from a psychiatrist" that a pregnant woman diagnosed with a "serious mental illness" might otherwise take an action that would lead to her own death or to the death of the fetus. The law does not ban procedures to end ectopic pregnancies or procedures in which a dead fetus is removed from the uterus. IT DOES NOT INCLUDE AN EXCEPTION IN CASES OF RAPE OR INCEST.”

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

Here is another example, from Texas:
“Senate Bill 8, ushered through the Republican-dominated Texas legislature and signed into law by the Republican governor, Greg Abbott, in May, bars abortion once embryonic cardiac activity is detected, which is around six weeks, and offers NO EXCEPTIONS FOR RAPE OR INCEST. Texas is the first state to ban abortion this early in pregnancy since Roe v Wade, and last-minute efforts to halt it through an appeal to the US supreme court by Tuesday did not succeed.”

> Why are we all upset about short-term rentals when so many real estate speculators are sitting on more than 4x as many vacant properties?

I would guess partly because almost all of the short-term rentals represent either (a) previously long term rentals that are no longer available to people who live and work in that location or (b) new construction that doesn't address housing shortages.
