> Why would an employer care whether I took time off to pursue other things otherwise?

Many (questionable) reasons, but among other things, it's a convenient way to exclude women trying to return to the workforce after they took time off to have kids, without overtly appearing to discriminate.
Problem solving requirements don't just disappear once you fire up jupyter notebook or set up minikube.
C++ was born at AT&T, shared the UNIX throne with C, adoption grew from there.

Java was created by Sun, was remarkable in having the JDK available as free beer in the age of comercial compilers, Sun bankrupt themselves pushing Java everywhere.

PHP provide a saner way to use a Perl like language on ISPs, whithout the mess of mod_perl, while most ISPs would charge extra for something else.

Smalltalk was gaining adoption, before its main backer outside Xerox (IBM) decided to join forces with Sun and Oracle, and move into Java instead, famously rewriting their flagship product into Eclipse. One of the main architects behind this effort is now leading Visual Studio Code development.

Compiling to single executables has been the way compilers worked before dynamic libraries became widespread in 32 bit platforms.
I'm viewing this on an atypical mobile screen, so it's possible my user experience is a long way from the default, but I think the problem here might be less "uncanny valley" and more it being busy with conflicting and confusing user action options. Perhaps before you had something very simple?

The images are fine and there's not much more to the design on mobile. But at the top I'm told "you previously created a home hunt" which I definitely didn't which links to a form with prefilled demo passwords which is unusual, the main call to action is below the fold, and I'm not sure how important the link to donate to the project via OpenCollective is, but I bet the average first time user is confused by it. The other effect I can imagine is if the first cohort of viewers was the sort of people that browse interesting FOSS projects (who will have used a lot of software with worse landing pages!) and the cohort looking at the current design are homebuyers in general...
> And people with "eyes" are always talking about the things they "see,"

That is, in their own terms, Ableism

> people who are aware of a problem

More 'people who are intent on creating a problem to serve their own needs':

Racism is not dead, but it is on life support — kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as "racists." [1]. That whole line is a quote from an essay written by Thomas Sowell, conveniently put away as "acting white" [2], having "internalised whiteness" or being "a white voice in a black body". 80 years ago people referred to "der ewige Jude" when talking about their scape goats, it did not end well. History is there to be learned from, not to be repeated if at all possible.

> And claiming harm is being done to the denialists

Harm is a word out of their own dictionary [3] still waiting for a good definition. It is not generally used by those who oppose "woke" activism other than in jest.

> For what it's worth, there is also a common problem with people who want to impose themselves on others via their righteousness. But that happens across the political spectrum.

"They are doing it as well" is whataboutery and not the issue at hand here so let's keep it out of the discussion.

Right, I agree with this. Reducing some contrast by using shades of grey will look more pleasant. I'll get this adjusted, thanks for the tip!
My wife and I went to Tokyo, and it stayed in a hotel by Disney. We spent like 4-5 days in Tokyo itself, and another 4-5 at the Disney parks.

My experience, everywhere in Tokyo from small restaurants to Disney, was that everyone was nervous to try to speak English with me, but willing to try. Even the waitress at one restaurant that clearly didn't speak much English.

When I tried to speak Japanese, they were delighted. My language partners have highly praised my accent, which I understand to mean that I'm not completely horrible. And I have a decent basic vocabulary and horrible grammar.

I have had some instances (both in Tokyo and with my language partners who were not in Tokyo) where they suddenly started talking way above my level, and I had to ask them to explain things, but I think that's just the weirdness of talking to a full grown adult that speaks like a child, and trying to manage that situation.
Dogecoin co-creator: Elon Musk is a grifter, doesn't know how to run basic code
Israel is so off-limits, most threads about other countries are derailed by people complaining they can't talk about Israel.
Oh, wow! I didn’t fully realize what was weird, but it’s very obvious once pointed out. It seems like “longish mechanical implement close to the face” is so strongly biased towards “bottle” that the AI has difficulty moving the telescope up to the eye level.
> Because second thing is, I've seen companies write contracts knowing some clauses are unenforcable, but putting them there to scare, to intimidate.

"It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer". We should _definitely_ err on the side of leniency on this. If my employment contract isn't watertight because of a law change, or a discrepency in an unrelated clause, should my employer be able to renege on my pay because the contract is invalid?
“There is no historical record of the deliberate use of psilocybin mushrooms in Europe before 1957”

I had to make this claim recently. There is also a shocking lack of evidence for the use of cannabis in the Greco-Roman period (apart from Herodotus discussing the Scythians—and a reference in Exodus).
A very general solution, which works regardless of how the numbers in the envelope are picked:

Choose a monotonically increasing function f with values between 0 and 1. Choose one of the envelopes at random. Then look at the number x in the envelope. Then, with probability f(x) say that you have the larger envelope.
> Furthermore, when I went to vote recently, it was certainly not "validated". And this was the AEC.

Note I'm German and can only speak for the German election process here, having served in half a dozen election boards. Usually here it is enough if you bring your election notification ("Wahlbenachrichtigung"), so that we can cross-check your name and voter roll number on the notification against our records, and reject you if the name has been already registered for in-presence voting or if there have been issued by-mail voting documents. We usually only demand ID cards if there are inconsistencies (e.g. someone looking like age 20 shows up with a DOB that suggests age 40 or someone presenting as female shows up with a male name), but these cases are extremely rare, and the inter/trans folks with deadname ID cards usually show both their ID card and the unofficial Ergänzungsausweis [1] so that we know there is nothing sketchy going on.

I think people probably do, I imagine it feels like a broken promise to them. My question would is why spend so much time on the marketing instead of the product? You need a core group of users to really love the product instead of a lot of people to kind of like it. It sounds like you got some users and a lot of feedback already which is awesome, I would get to work on getting the product really awesome for those early adopters who stick around. You can continuously market to those who didn't with every feature release so they see the rate of progress.
>Secretary of State Antony Blinken raised concerns Saturday about China’s “efforts to restrict and manipulate her visit,” and he said Bachelet was unable to access individuals who were part of labor transfer programs from Xinjiang to other parts of the country.

>“We are further troubled by reports that residents of Xinjiang were warned not to complain or speak openly about conditions in the region, that no insight was provided into the whereabouts of hundreds of missing Uyghurs,” Blinken said in a statement.

So pretty much what you'd expect. Not at all different from the "visits" influential people can make to North Korea to showcase what a shining utopia it really is.
>I've put in countless hours of work every day (70-90 hrs), being on-call almost 24/7, sometimes for straight 7 days for months despite only getting paid on a salary basis on 40 hr work weeks; being a loner helps with working long hours.

This sounds ridiculous to me. Are you from US?

EU here, 40hrs work week, 5weeks paid leave, paid sick days. After hours I'm turning my phone off, everything extra they must pay me money, like weekends are double my hourly rate, or it's illegal for them and people have no problem to call inspection on companies, then they can expect big fine.

Your situation looks like slave labor to me...

(of course, on top of my salary I do contract work for fun, for even better money, sometimes in my work hours, if everything is done, hh)

I was dragged through it where I work and most of the ideas seem to come from early 20th century communism. His description is accurate. People have been complaining about the radical right lately but I feel like they forget that Hitler's thing was largely a reaction to early 20th century communism. This is in every way driving our current political divide in the US. It's not at all good.

Maoism doesn't quite fit, it's more Trotskyism IMO but I think he knows most Americans recognize Mao better than Trotsky.

Becuase your solution is specific to your specific software.

Then you have lads who use python who can use virtualenv, and then the ruby ones who use rbenv and then you have the CPP developers which are usually fine but on Tuesday Joe messed up the linker settings and all of a sudden we're not statically linked, thanks Joe.

And then our Java team forgot to tell the sysadmins that they upgraded the JVM version.

The thing with docker is that you just get a complete package with everything delivered directly by the developer and it's very hard to mess up.

Also docker can run applications that aren't shipped by people in your company and also does more stuff (like more sandoboxing and it also helps you with the resource management).
You personally don’t need Docker. Another example where it’s pretty much useless is if you can compile your code as a static binary.

Now if you use a wide variety of programs written in a wide variety of languages (e.g. a C database server and a Ruby web app and a JS daemon), then Docker is a very efficient way of staticizing your app just like you did with your .Net dlls or like you would by statically linking a Rust app.
I really dislike this meme of pointing out that Google has deprecated a lot of projects. Do people actually expect Google to staff people & resources running every project they've released forever?

A more interesting comparison would be open source projects that Google has abandoned or failed to properly hand over control of to the community, especially if we're talking about Go.
Are there any problems for which that number of qubits is needed? The problems in physical chemistry that I have seen seem to require up to about 250 qubits, and cryptography seems somewhat more economical.

I find it interesting that it always seem to put the telescope near the mouth, presumably it has seen many more pictures of people drinking from a bottle than using a telescope.
The telescopes also look pretty weird.
This is the “simple resolution” presented in the linked article. What “line of reasoning” are you responding to?
I’ve found in Germany it’s best to be direct and not rely on implication to make your point.
I don't care about rackmount, personally. I just set things on a wire bakers/food service rack, like one of these: https://www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-Black-4-Tier-Metal-Wire-Shel...

But here's my setup in a nutshell:

- Motorola MB7612 Cable Modem

- Protectli FW4B silent PC as router/gateway

- Synology DS1019+ for storage, Plex, and Pi-hole via Docker

- 2x Rucuks R610 APs running Unleashed firware (off-lease eBay purchases, enterprise grade APs, about $150/ea, both wired/non-mesh)

- Brocade ICX6430-C12 Switch (4x 802.11at PoE, handles the APs, another eBay special, cost around $90)

This is working well for me, and unlike the UniFi stuff I can now pretty easily swap out any piece of it with another brand of the same function and things will be fine. The single ecosystem of Unifi always bothered me a bit.

If I want a new VLAN (or special WLAN) it's a little harder than on UniFi, but it's really just setting it up on OPNsense, defining it on the requisite ports on the switch, and turning up the new SSID (if needed).

I also don't miss Unifi's single pane of glass view either. All the shiny threat stuff isn't particularly actionable, and there's a bunch of gaps (IIRC like how it'd wouldn't have usable timestamps for some things) so I was never able to use it to make decisions.

I run the Synology with a LACP link; that's plenty fast as its more a storage/backup box than anything that needs to be performant. Speeding all that up would just be a matter of replacing the switch and adding a card into the Synology, but I don't need that for now. (I'd probably get a new NAS before that.)
Yeah I agree with this. I think it’s important to put the necessary facts on the table, along with your claim or gambit, but to hold back on the detail until you work out which way the wind is blowing.

I’ve had people tell me outright lies, which puts them in a difficult negotiating position when you can prove it. But the lies would not have been told (and my negotiating position not strengthened) if all the evidence was laid out up front.

Hiding information from an adversary has few downsides, as long as you keep your goals clear. You can always provide more information later. But you can never take information back.

So... thanks for the advice and info. Good to get practical knowledge out there.

That said:

that same law says you can get attorneys’ fees too, the company knows that they could be facing a 50k+ judgment at the end (almost entirely comprising attorneys’ fees), and then that often incentivizes earlier, higher settlements.

This is awful, in my opinion. We really should consider redesigning our legal systems once every century or so. This sort of thing is a result of lawyers making their own rules for too long.
Looking through the episodes it looks like "generic pop-science" health advice, like what you find on Tim Ferriss or Joe Rogan. Does he have something substantial to bring to the table and am I missing something by writing him off based on the way he markets his podcasts?
Drivers, operating systems, databases, browsers and games written in garbage collected languages? How will they manage to be competitive? C is currently one of the most used languages in the world.

I don't think that they are trying to replace Java or Python, but C, for the areas where C is used today.
Here's a weird take: because the landing page is so vague the user doesn't know whether the app is useful or not so the user will sign up just to take a look at the app to figure out what it actually is. Once the user realizes it isn't for them they bounce. So higher signup rate, higher bounce rate in this case? Total baseless speculation here :D
Also, the orchestration becomes easier - you can run the same docker container on multitude of different OSes and configurations.
In addition to that, you get great isolation.
Glad you found it informative.

I've found senior developers to have polarized opinions about the usefulness of the collection, so always good to see a review in favorable direction :)
Of course, this was Osaka. So maybe they were just super-accommodating to me so they would get my business. (By comparison to Tokyo, Osaka is hustle town -- matters of decorum and cultural appropriateness can be put aside if it means more business.)

LOL this is my experience in Taiwan. I find my Mandarin is miraculously much better at the night markets than it is when asking directions.

Honestly I love being a poor mandarin speaker in Taiwan. I am pretty sure a good chunk of the population has better english than my mando, but if I start with madarin they will respond in kind 90% of the time. My theory is that they're happy for me to struggle with a language than to do the same themselves - fine by me, great opportunity to practice!

Angular is dead.
Work to live or live to work?

You feel like this because your job is slowly killing you.

Stop working overtime and weekends, and find things to do instead. This won't be an overnight thing, so take your time.

If your job pressures you back into previous patterns, explain to them your situation. If they're still pressuring you, tell them you'll have to start job hunting before they decided to fire you.

You're in a good position in life. 28 is not much, I would have been very pleased to be in a similar situation at that age. Good luck.
Securities and Exchange Commission presses on with anti-greenwashing proposals
I hope you are talking about code you use internally and don't share.

FWIW I care about code completion, and using a library that broke my workflow is not fun.
Surprised to read that! Android has that "initialization through mutation in a set of lifecycle callbacks resembling plate tectonics" so deeply baked in that even kotlin just shrugs and learns to love the lateinit. I consider that a prime example of how OOP can lead one astray.
The concurrency is "easy" in that the syntax for spawning a thread is simple... but that's kind of it. Like other languages, it has a concurrent queue abstraction, and it has some syntax sugar to make using the concurrent queue nicer than some other languages. But like other languages, you end up in concurrency hell with mutexes and condition variables and semaphores and deadlocks.

It has a concurrency story that's about as good as the likes of C++, and inferior to Rust (which errors at compile-time if you do something dangerous) or JavaScript (where the core event loop makes concurrency less necessary and concurrency is achieved with multiprocessing).

In my experience, debugging concurrent Go is way harder than debugging concurrent C++, since the cheapness of spawning a new thread makes people much less careful about their threading model.
GNU projects generally don't depend on glibc, this is why gnulib (a compatibility layer) exists.

With systemd it's often not just libsystemd that's the dependency, but PID 1 and the rest of the stack.
I was suprised: you can read it with basic text shapping and some unicode symbols.
In wikipedia, they use inline image inclusion (from rendering latex code I guess) in order to work with basic text shapping.
>>Would it be fun to listen to? Maybe. But it wouldn't represent the creative evolution and experimentation of the band

So.. I agree 100% but this is totally 1990s thinking. This is dinosaur stuff. The entire concept of authenticity has been deleted. Not authenticity itself. The concept of it as an important thing has been deleted. That is definitely no longer a valid defense of anything. That's what we believed in in the 90s. Human architecture, human flaws, mistakes, dwellings, ideas. Shit, it's the basis of western civilization. That's gone, my friend.

When someone resurrects Led Zeppelin, it will be so promoted and splashed around that kids who never heard of them will think it's the coolest new band ever. The songs and avatars will be cartoons. The music - it won't even matter if it's stolen or not. No one will have heard it before so it'll sound amazing and original. This is the depressing thing about the music industry, and it's been this way for 20 years now. Pure manipulation of 99% of people. And the 1% who go find local bands, and go to shows, are locked indoors.

Hoping and praying that some generation will show up who hate corporate rock and love underground punk / hip hop bands ... that's been a losing fight for a long time. But what we do have is a system that finds any band with 3000+ fans and co-opts it.

Creative humans have almost no reach anymore outside old folks facebook networks.
This is bait
Well you used to be able to use Google to find all the websites that the 5 eyes were seeding conversations on!

All you had to do was copy one of the opening paragraphs from a thread on a forum website like dosbods.co.uk or housepricecrash.co.uk and then paste it into Google and then you could see the exact same starting conversations, word for word taking place on a variety of websites, like pistonheads, mumsnet and others. The press help elevate websites like mumsnet to help with the "consensus cracking" aka psychological manipulation.

Different avatars, but the conversations always started off word for word identical because invariably non spooky sock puppets ie members of the public would join in the conversation so then it would deviate off. This is one of the methods to phish people.

The spooks were on house price crash because they wanted to know why people on there were hoping for a crash. The reason being is maslow's heirachy of needs, suggests shelter is one of the basic needs, so mortgages are a way of controlling people en-masse which we have seen since the late 90's with property prices going through the roof and endless hours of property porn on tv. Northern Rock 125% mortgages showed people would over extend themselves for the idea that on paper they were rich and gambling on capital appreciation without realising tax rules may change in the future. Its one of the many many ways the so called free press have played their part in manipulating and controlling the public, along with the banks lending without caution etc etc, but this is the beuaty of the hierarchical structure of control, beit employment or other entities which control everyone's lives.

I've actually met former head of MI5 Andrew Parker, in Bishop's Stortford, but I didnt know him, I only recognised him when he did a speech on terrorism some years later that was broadcast on the BBC 6 o clock news. What was interesting is he used his real life accent when talking to me, but used the BBC Received Pronunciation when doing the speech on Terrorism. I also met James Brokenshire MP then Tory housing minister, with Dame Stella Rimmington & Baron Jonathan Evans at the pump house at Wastwater, Scafell Pike, the day after Theresa May called the election! It was their way of telling me they were operating on Housepricecrash.co.uk. Why else would they drag the govt housing minister up to Scafell Pike when he was supposed to be off getting lung cancer treatment!?!

Its the spooks job to protect the economy, so phishing people looking for a housing crash is one remit, however they didnt realise they were giving themselves away in more ways than one! I'm always reminded the smallest of viruses can kill the largest of hosts! ROFL
