I agree with your counterpoints, but I'm still in favor of decriminalization. Heavy drug use does have an effect on families and social institutions like healthcare, and it's short-sighted to think that the effects of drug legalization can be contained to private, individual behavior. That said, we're a half century into the drug war and it's obviously not working. As other commenters have pointed out, Portugal seems to have had success combining decriminalization with policies that actively push drug users toward addiction treatment.
> theoretically

I mean, we've run these experiments. There's no need for "theoretically." You can compare outcomes in countries with more and fewer social programs. Spend a couple hours comparing healthcare outcomes, poverty rates, unhoused rates, etc across various first-world nations, compare that to tax rates and social program availability, and see if you can come to any conclusions.
Only possible if you are a late career academic with a lab and a publication record. They are paying for the prestige and the pipeline to new hires more than the technical advice (ok sometimes they pay for the technical advice but I’ve never seen that get a good roi). I can think of a few instances of professors consulting with companies where I worked and they all had grey hair and Tenure. The rich get richer, but these examples are a variant on ‘lottery winners can make good money’.
Google search has gotten so bad compared to how it used to be that this might actually be useful.
This reminds me of how the shroom dispensaries popped up in Vancouver because City Council has barred the police force from enforcing psilocybin prohibition (ostensibly so that police can focus on opioids instead, although any positive outcomes from that approach seems dubious).

So you have 'mainstream' online shrooms shops in Canada. It's great, on the one hand. On the other hand, it's easy for everyone to assume that magic mushrooms are almost legal (like cannabis was) even though it's very different. Medicinal cannabis was around for a long time; currently Health Canada only allows ~80 people in the country to use psilocybin for health.

But why didn't they include psilocybin or other psychedelics in this decriminalization? It is because they are defacto decriminalized already due to this policing decision?
You're not dumb, you're just new to it, and it's fundamentally hard stuff anyways, and if you can find a higher-level abstraction that lets you get work done faster, then all the better. However, the question is comparing Kubernetes to traditional VM-based infrastructure (especially with pet nodes) whereas you're comparing Kubernetes to a higher-level abstraction.

For what it's worth, deploying in Kubernetes is pretty easy once you figure it out (and often finding the information is the hardest part). All you need to do is update the Deployment resource's "image" parameter. You can do that with `kubectl patch` like so:

kubectl patch deployment foo -p '{"spec":{"containers":[{"name":"main","image":"new-image"}]}}'

Kubernetes will handle bringing up a new replicaset, validating health checks, draining the old replicaset, etc.
this is somewhat a pipedream

Yeah I'd like to have that too. Don't know yet how I'd implement it, but logged here and happy to take Merge Requests: https://gitlab.com/vincenttunru/obfuscate/-/issues/3
> I have a hard time understanding why people feel like they need them so much?

How do you figure out types in a code base you didn't write or don't know? Because when you're working in a code you wrote or have worked on extensively, you have the typespecs in your head, but everyone else doesn't. And I'd even wager there's holes in what you have in your head and thus potentially in the code.

I've worked on Erlang and Elixir code bases, and without typespecs, you spend an inordinate amount of time learning and tracing what the expected types of arguments are and what return types are. That time and effort is completely saved if there are good typespecs. When I read a function, I do not want to spend anytime understanding the types. Typespecs are an absolutely necessary evil in a dynamically typed language. It's part of the tradeoff.
Musk is free to make these demands, Tesla employees are free to seek remote work at a more progressive (operating model, not political) org.

Filesystems, Testing, and Stable Trees
I think parent is referring to the idea that it's not a problem for a technically inclined person to when the extensions is filling out the password inspect the password HTML element and "see" it. Other options would include sniffing network traffic in your browser or replacing DNS with self hosted website with a form under the same domain to trick the extension to fill in a form on a website you control (since they match based on the typed in domain).
The point is that the market has shown there is a huge appetite for alternative database billing models other than a fixed cost per month. From my limited personal interactions, I'm aware of 10-20 developers who are using Planetscale in large part because of their billing model. They would have never considered a SQL database before because of the fixed cost.

Those nosql options (probably the most popular in the world) also have the issue that row sizes are different, and if you're super cost conscious, you can change your architecture to take advantage of it. For example with Planetscale, you could store a lot more in JSON columns instead of other tables to reduce costs if that was your primary objective.

Is your frustration that you'd like to use Planetscale or a managed Vitess, but you are worried about locking yourself into a pricing model that you don't think will work for you?
That's pretty astonishing, no doubt about it. Thanks!
You're assuming they will redirect that money.

At least in America, even if you decriminalize something, there's something akin to the military industrial complex with healthcare -- they think becauase they felt ENTITLED to work in the medical field, and racked up debt, they should able to cause people to die of depression as they're punished for making healthy decisions.

For example, if I'd woken up yesterday and had a bowl of CBG rich, high THC indica, then did email for two hours, then did two hours of coding, I could do enough knowledge work to earn my housing and food for the week.

Instead I'm running around throwing coffees on credit cards because when I tried to do things "by the book" in my home state of PA, anytime I start to make a healthy decision, someone with a vested interst tries to knock me off kilter.

(Congrats! I'm sitting in a café in my neighborhood nursing wounds from a hate crime, with a can of mace in my backpack, as the entire world seems to lose their minds. Is this the cyberpunk future we envisioned, or are Netflix and weed the new bread and circuses?)
Woah there at least let's acknowledge that e2ee is a BIG ask and would concretely hurt usability. A secure e2e messenger should pass the "mud puddle test" [0] meaning if you drop your devices in a mud puddle and then slip in said puddle and crack yourself on the head, you should be locked out of all your accounts.

Do you want a Zulip where account recovery is impossible by design? Or where conversation history is unavailable to new users [1]? You might say "well let people opt in if they want e2e" but that's not helpful either. If even 1 user in a group is not opted in then the entire group has the same security level.

[0] https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2012/04/05/icloud-w...

[1] This must be the case unless you invent a p2p system for users to bring a new user up to date on the group. And even then people could voluntarily lie about past messages. There are neat ways around all this but the point is that this system is very complicated and doesn't currently exist in practice.
I just pointed GitNoter at my GitJournal repo and it loaded fairly well :). I'll investigate fiddling with the settings (dates get dumped into GitNoter notes), would be nice to have them interoperate perfectly.

Thanks for GitJournal!
Guess it depends on the location? We used it to drive through rural Canada and if we had followed any of the many wrong ways it tried to send us, we would be very dead.
Makes sense. And I can see how my comments my have been closer to anti vaccine. My point was more that I also take flu seriously and we vaccinate for that every year, too.
And what happens when the people who sell those decriminalized drugs move on to things like buying up real estate and gentrifying the people who were self medicating out of their homes with their profits?

Decriminalization solves the mass incarceration issue, possibly, but there are other things to think about.
Agree: Knowledge management, not EverNote at all.

EverNote is all about dropping random files into it (images, pdfs, etc). It's where you store your bills, your receipts, your photos of wine labels. It also has a very handy web clipper extension to save web pages (whole pages, sections, or bookmarks).

I'm sure plenty of people use it differently, but I'm also quite confident (from how I've seen others describe it) that one its primary use-cases is as a big shoebox to dump everything into. You then search for that stuff through titles, tags and OCR in photos.

I use it in a fundamentally different way from Obsidian.
First I've heard of this tool. I've been using the Python-based csvkit and the Java-based OpenRefine (formerly Google Refine) to work with and clean CSVs for years. Thanks for the recommendation.
> I have come to learn that this was directly because I'm older. I was unaware of the animosity so many young folks have against us; but I am now painfully aware of it.

I think it's less animosity and more incompetence.

I remember once when I was younger - around ~26 - being interviewed by a ~22 year-old fresh out of college, and the interview was more like a college test.

What relevance did this have to what I would do at the company? Most likely - nothing.

But this was basically all this person knew.

The younger you are, the less ability you have to 1) know what's valuable, and 2) assess it.

Not that this is a particularly easy thing for anyone to do.

That being said - younger people are going to place close to no value on your decades of battle scars and experience. They don't have any. They probably like to think it's not worth anything - because it makes them feel better about not having it.

You know - never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.

I'd also caution on the things you perceive to actually be animosity - they're probably mostly jealousy. You're someone who has WAY more options available - so you can be demanding and picky about your employer. Younger people might hate that - but that's really jealousy. They probably don't actually hate you. There's a big difference.

Cool. If you add it, please use the \( \) and \[ \] delimiters rather than $ $ and $$ $$. The former plays better with automated processing and currencies.
Yup. It would be better to just replace the text with randomly sized bars of the same number of lines. You can have fun playing with the algorithm to come up with something that looks vaguely english-like.

And the blur for images isn't great. It may be better to just use a black box there. Or maybe pick a single colour from the image or something like that.

Drugs should be illegal because doing them is morally bad, not because being addicted to them is bad for you
Is it, though? Feels unlikely that we could eliminate any corona virus that way.
I think a real part of the equation that we're missing is that the "value" that the market can charge for the fruits of labor is going down. Not sure how to verbalize/explain the point better. So the potential that 1 hour worth of labor can be sold for on the aggregate is going down. And in my head it makes sense because automation is making the bulk of our labor redundant, and it's only going to get worse. The market is signaling something deeper that we're yet to uncover because we're looking at second-order signals.
It's not Canada-wide as the headline suggests, it's only in BC.

SSO should be table stakes
Yeah, everything shared is on 1password. Everything else is Okta with 2FA. But the authentication flow is made very simple so you don't get frustrated.

My personal benefit was that the convenience of using password managers finally pushed me to use Bitwarden+2FA on all my personal devices.
I realise you want to drive folks to "book a demo", but for the love of god let me poke at a demo instance -- or at least see screenshots of the actual product. There's presumably a lot of nuanced power you want to show off here, and yet all I come away with is a vague feeling of "I could book these consultants to set up a community website".

That puts Una roughly on par with "I could set up a WordPress.com site" or just...a Facebook group. Show me why you're better than that!
I don't want to pile on to all the other replies, but I think your mental model of rural life is several decades out of date
I know this is a very contentious issue, and I'm by no means an expert. I don't think there are any correct paths, especially when it comes to tax payer expenses, but I can't help feeling like this is giving up.

Very crude and unhelpful anecdote coming:
I recently travelled to a US West Coast city for the first time in 4 years, and the change was stark: homeless in every street corner, drug dealers selling meth and heroin on the street, while tech workers were driving beside in their luxury SUVs. I couldn't help but feel like this city has become Gotham, and that crime was everywhere; and there was nothing anyone could do.

I know it's not just US cities, but the only place in Canada (as a Canadian) I've seen this similar devolution is in Vancouver.

I'd honestly really appreciate being directed to arguments that showcase that decriminalization of drugs and theft provide any positive outcomes beyond less incarceration rates. I really feel for the people on the street who have gotten there, and the residents that live nearby - I would certainly not want to live there or visit again.
I think what you should be looking for is a Single Sign-on solution that integrates with your different systems and applications. It's a necessity when trying to have audit logs and proper and secure onboarding and offboarding solutions.

Things like Okta, OneLogin, GCP, AWS, Auth0 or Keycloak (self-hosted). A lot of products nowaday offers SSO integrations but often unfortunately at the highest tiers - see https://sso.tax/

And parsnips are phototoxic, too. We better do something about them.
I've found search operators and quotes are less and less effective — especially on Google, but on other search engines as well — as time goes on. I think OR/AND were removed a long time ago, and things like + and quotes aren't effective, because they're still subjected to the same processing (stemming, synonym substitution, whatever ML nonsense Google does) as plain queries. So in general, you don't get what you're searching for; you get what most people making a similar query would get.

It's made it harder to search for bits of poetry, quotations, or song lyrics, especially.
Mental Frames to Get over Entrepreneurial Anxiety and Depression (2017)

Azure is generally the worst (their new container offering looks better though)

If you try digital ocean k8s offering it's fairly straightforward.

Google cloud was the first to offer a decent k8s as a service, if I recall correctly. We didn't have DevOps back in 2015 and we were on GCloud.

Personally I don't pick k8s just because it's heavy to run and I don't want to waste machines (plain docker is good enough for a large part of what people actually need). Sometimes in a project when I can't figure something out with just docker, I just bite the bullet and install k0s.
I make a pretty good living, know more or less what I can reasonably afford. I always assume the people driving fancy cars here in Scottsdale are mostly deeply in debt. As an aside though, the gen-x erasure continues here, comparing only millennials with boomers.
Passbolt is a great open source option: https://www.passbolt.com/ It has the team collaboration functionality and is free & OSS. We run it on Digital Ocean via Docker. Once you get it working it's pretty fantastic- it has a Chrome/Brave extension that works just like 1Password and LastPass for auto-filling credentials. Highly recommend.
I though PageRank rated pages based on their rank smell.

Now that the patent's expired, somebody can create a free open source implementation called PageStink.
I don’t think those are in conflict: scale has a quality all its own.

I’m not claiming AI have anything similar to human psychology, just that the insistence they have zero “intelligence” is in conflict with how we use that word to describe animals: they’re clearly somewhere between bees/ants and dogs.
Microsoft Releases Workaround for ‘One-Click’ 0Day Under Active Attack
As a lawyer, SumatraPDF is my go to for everything. Fast, snappy, and works with zero-config problems through Wine on Linux.
Someone put it nicely when they said Kubernetes is like an operating system for containers. If you take linux as an analogy, it's clearly a non-trivial investment to learn linux and learn enough to be effective and efficient in it. Further time perhaps needed to achieve the productivity, functionality and performance of what you were used to on Mac or Windows.

Kubernetes definitely achieves this goal well, and in a relatively portable way. But just like any other engineering decision, you should evaluate the trade offs of learning a completely new OS just to get a simple web site up, versus running a nginx instance with bunch of cgi scripts.

Congrats on getting started in a white collar career path right after high school, it was a great career choice.
Public schools are for profit, that profit comes out of tax payers against their will. Just because they have a tax free status doesn't mean they're not lining their pockets with money. Given the massive artificial increases in costs - they are. I've seen it happen in realtime.

This doesn't even approach the problem that industry and academics are seperated worlds. Unis lie and tell you everything is "in demand" yet students graduate and no one will even look at them.

The most funding for effective programs comes from private industry. Companies will spend far more than state or federal on real programs as long as they're not attached to universities. That tells you something right off the bat. High schools get far more money than us.

Private industry should be the one footing the bill and are the most knowleable about what industry wants. We do not yet have a system of this so you don't have any examples to base your claim from. For this to happen we need to first remove all higher public education funding to force companies to build their own.

Before you make bogus claims about "general education" there is nothing learned about humanities or general knowledge at a uni that isn't better done with a YouTube video. The instructors don't know how to teach and can't engage students with effective knowledge.
I increasingly find that formulating queries as a proper question gives the best results. Often even in the summary on the top.

If you don't like the video, just go to another one in his channel; I admired the talents of this guy since the first video was published long a go where he played like hell on an old yamaha drum machine. There is a difference between true mastery on an instrument and the ability to assemble nice sequences and start them at the touch of a button. People today are satisfied enough with the latter. This is not a value judgment, but a fact.
And you probably didn't even get to TLS and or authenticated communication between containers, CI/CD, canary deployments, observability, monitoring etc.

What we need is a Next.js for Kubernetes. Something that delivers a full stack solution on top of base Kubernetes.

The core system is great, but we need to replace these DevOps with a framework or platform.
Strict immigration policies during the previous presidency combined with the pandemic have led to record low immigration. Census projections generally expected immigration levels to remain constant. However, immigration plummeted from a net gain of ~1000k/year in 2016 to ~250k/year in 2020[1].

Hi.

I don’t know if this is a bug or intentional, but playing today, I was eliminated on the last guess when there was a valid word that was not the wordle word. However, I had used that word previously and it had forced an undo. This came as a surprise, because I knew the word was safe and planned the 5th word to leave that word available.
>that have been shown time and time again to improve outcomes and make significant progress towards this issue.

I'm all for doing this, and I hope it works, but "time and time again" is a stretch. Where, Portugal and Oregon? Where else? This is still experimental and by no means a "no-brainer".
"What does an algorithm look like?"

I'm an intensely visual person, but have never found a visual programming system which scales well --- the problem is, past a certain level of complexity one has to use modules, which then devolves the visual representation down to just a bunch named blocks.

That said, I'm using BlockSCAD:

https://www.blockscad3d.com/community/projects/1421975

to work up designs which I'm then putting into other tools.

> And it is understandable. We tend to get taught how to be good worker bees. Reading and writing, math, discipline, shallow/propagandized politics and skills that prepare for work.

This reads like we are conditioned since a very young age, but it's not true. Large corporations design their basic training curriculum precisely for this.

Standardised levels, responsibilities, and wages, also remove leverage from individual workers, who are left with collective bargaining, which is harder to achieve.

Good people really don't have much of a choice other than leaving crappy jobs.
