Ontario school board removes Agatha Christie book due to anti-Semitic references
Seems like the author is neglecting the possibility of human intervention. The priests and priestesses may have found a way to collect ethylene gas from the stream and released it intentionally at the right time. A trade secret so to speak. Hidden secrets in religion are not uncommon.
Same goes for construction materials. So many people fail to read the wood/adhesive/countertop/screw/paint datasheets which sometimes include recommendations against the way the product is often used.

reminds me of medications and antibiotics which include their own datasheets that not all medical providers cross-check against your current medications.
Yeah, the hype has been extremely excessive. Putting some investment into quantum-resistant public key cryptography now is a reasonable hedge against the possibility of an surprise breakthrough in the next 10-30 years, but that should be about all we need to future-proof things. Unfortunately "quantum" is still a hot buzzword for managers and non-technical leadership, so it will be diverting resources and attention for the foreseeable future.
But “requirements” are hard. In a given organization everyone will have different opinions. Even more importantly, the same individual will have varying opinions based on their current context.

What if one of your requirements is “retain talent because the longer they stay and know the business, the more valuable they are.” But boring those employees with the same old never change anything approach will drive them away.

My biggest gripe with the choose boring technology mantra is that it often conflates with a sort of tech populism. Populism often creates short time wins for long term losses.
Maybe simple is the wrong word (perhaps I should have said familiar) but Redis sharding is similarly shared-nothing, is it not?

Okay well there are like 30 partners just on the Enterprise landing page alone. You should shop around.

Also, I just remembered. The Sonoma County Office of Education is already using Zimbra as its groupware. I wouldn't write it off entirely either.
So you can’t empathize with gambling addicts because you can’t understand how they don’t value the money being lost, yet your entire comment is about how the fun of gambling has nothing to do with value or money?

It seems weird to me that people can’t wrap their around the fact that gambling addiction has pretty much nothing to do with money.. yet justify their own “harmless” gambling actions by saying it isn’t about the money. You aren’t that different from the problem gambler, just be glad you don’t fall into the 1% of people who destroy their lives over gambling.
> This is the kind of dismissive, unhelpful, and frankly extremely discouraging attitude that is slowly killing emacs.

Emacs seems to be doing just fine if not thriving.

> Instead of taking responsibility for the fact that emacs is incredibly slow because of poor architectural decisions (like an insistence to not using fast native libraries and an incredibly slow language)

For me, Emacs is both incredibly fast and incredibly stable. For an "Emacs user and package developer of 20 years", you seem either too quick to jump to conclusions or are still barely scratching the surface of what's possible which makes me question the depth of your expertise and/or how efficiently your time with Emacs was invested.
I don’t know if I would consider screwing up my bibliography to be “decent”, but hey. You’re right about file formats - and of course it runs deeper, file formats are just a manifestation of feature sets and models. When you have a model mismatch, as LibreOffice does, then you’re sort of set up to fail, no matter how clean and open the file format is (or isn’t).
there was a homeless woman living in a cocoon of bushes/trees in one of the yards of an apartment building in my neighborhood. she was very tidy, quiet, and had a pet cat. friendly but not quite put together, she was nevertheless a normal part of our neighborhood. one day, some contractors for the owner came and kicked her out of her makeshift home, and put a fence up to keep her out. she was then forced onto the sidewalk/parkway area where she was less safe and secure. about a year later, she was found dead there.

In a way it's brilliant marketing. I'm sure the true believers love it. The skeptics would not be convinced by this no matter what you called it.
I have met bridge engineers who had to move bridges after they were built.

You’ve never had to support Linux if you think this. Hardware support is absolutely all over the board. It works but often requires tinkering, which is a support nightmare when you have hundreds of potentially thousands of users.
You clearly don't know photoshop. A better comparison is Notepad vs VIM or Notepad vs Emacs. Notepad kind of works. You load, save, copy/cut/paste, find, save. What else do you need? Vim and Emacs have a learning curve but are way more powerful.

If you don't understand how much more powerful Vim and Emacs are over notepad, most people who do know the difference would see the flaw in your opinion that all 3 are text editors and one is as good as another.

The same is true of Photoshop vs gIMP. Photoshop has non-destructive editing. gIMP does not. That alone is a huge force multiplier. Photoshop has non-destructive layer and group styles, gIMP does not have layer styles as all. That's just few of the 100s of features Photoshop has that gIMP doesn't. They're not just minor features, they're force multipliers and game changers. gIMP has been planning to add the major ones for 15yrs or so but for whatever reasons has not gotten there.

I went through a serious attempt to remove all of my resumes on the web. Paid a firm, whole nine yards.

Several data brokers still have very, very old copies.. and they still sell them.. and recruiters still buy them.. and still contact me.. and still get met with an email politely telling them off.

But that years old shitty linkedin dataset still gets sold to thousands of people for thousands of dollars a year and nobody bats an eye. The recruiters are too stupid to spot the bad data and the brokers too lazy to care.
You’re absolutely right, thanks for the correction.
EBITDA was new, but free cash flow was GAAP and everything good about EBITDA is captured in “it’s an easy way to estimate free cash flow”

Some organizations might want to ensure that your account follows certain policies in regards to the password expiry dates or how "secure" they are.

Furthermore, if you leave an organization, they might want to remove all of your access credentials to all of the linked platforms/devices in one fell swoop.

While you are in the organization, they might want to allow you to use certain pieces of software (say, GitLab, Nextcloud, Mattermost, anything that talks LDAP) by giving you a particular group membership, such as everything for PROJECT_X/CLASS_X and so on.

Similarly, when a certain platform requires user credentials, they might also want to explicitly allow this platform to integrate with their account management software, by giving it certain credentials to talk to the AD server, which can later be revoked.

Oh, and password resets are also nice to centralize, in case you ever screw up.

Sometimes their hand might also be forced due to compliance reasons: imagine Google basically owning your company and information about all of the accounts/devices due to them having the actual data.
Are these profiles or just a reporter transcribing people pitching the best version of themselves? I don't mean any snark, I have a huge amount of sympathy and empathy for the plight of the homeless and more should be done for them, a lot more. However, these 'profiles' seems to smooth out a lot of the complexities involved. To boot, there are only 3 people profiled.

> Imagine you're teaching people carpentry. There is a really nice automatic screw gun that accepts a cartridge of screws all lined up automatically so each one loads in place after the last one. It is super easy to use and people can get straight to fastening beams together. But the device is very expensive, and they cannot be repaired if they break, [...]

Wait, let me stop your metaphor right there. How often do you imagine end-user software like Photoshop or MS Office actually "breaks" in a way that actually requires "repair"?

Imagine if you will, that most of the time that your magic screw gun happens to jam, that simply unplugging it and plugging it back in again magically cleared the problem up, and you could continue where you left off.
Rust folks, as do vegans, put the "Rust" in the title straight away.
One should first ask what is the actually useful task for computers. Right now it is often things like powering ad networks, tracking engagements, running tax code for millions, calculating sha 256 hashes. Would any of this be useful in apocalypse? If not what would be?

> Attempting a repair is one of those sparks that nurture curiosity

I appreciate the sentiment, but repairing an iPhone only gives you a very superficial understanding of how it works. It's about as technical as setting up a computer with a discrete monitor, webcam, UPS, case, speakers, etc.
I came across this when I was searching for resources to help better understand ALUs and assembler.

I love it because:

1. My first computer (an Acorn Electron) had a 6502 processor, and gave me my first exposure to assembler.

2. It's been built so you can do all the exercises in the browser. I really like stuff like this (e.g. Scrimba), as it makes it so much more likely that you'll get started.

A related point: as I go through it, I'm thinking about which instructions are really necessary (maybe all of them?) and why it would be inconvenient if you didn't have a particular instruction.
> On the other hand, usage of linked lists in the wild can be rather limited

You use linked lists in pretty much all languages, they're just hidden behind the flavor that you prefer, List in C#, LinkedList or ArrayList in Java, etc.
Academics do this stuff too though. SATAN was a network security tool. Linnaeus himself abused the taxonomy system he invented to name pest species after people he didn't like.
It literally saved customers money to buy the bulbs with lower lifetime because they are so much more efficient. Shortly before incandescents were phased out, I saw markings on packaging like "this bulb uses $10.81 in electricity over its lifetime" on a 40 cent bulb.

They could have standardized on a power efficiency metric, but there's an intrinsic inverse relationship of efficiency versus lifetime for tungsten filaments.

Back in the day companies did not try to eat every tiny bit of consumer surplus, so this cartel was a win-win situation.
The user interface of LibreOffice is garbage. The ribbon is much more discoverable than toolbars and menus (and no, LibreOffice’s ribbon imitation isn’t as good as the original).

And if you’re talking about Excel… LibreOffice Calc doesn’t have tables (with nice styling, automatic formula filling, and using column names in formulas), and working with PivotTables requires a separate dialog box with no simple live preview.
Well, the "modern" way to speak about structure is in category theory terms, specifically in terms of morphisms and universal properties; similarly, the fuzzy idea of a context, in the article, is replaced with a restriction on the set of assertions you allow as making sense to begin with.

There is usually an example circuit in the datasheet. I start there. Many ics now also sell that example circuit on a pcb you can buy from the same supplier you buy your ics from. Then to make your own custom thing you just start with that example circuit, change it or add to it as needed for your specific application, and then you can physically make those same modifications or additions to the example circuit board you bought and test your design before ordering custom boards.

It's basically like tracing an outline of a drawing with tracing paper and then filling it in with color. You trace the example design, add your own color.

I like this. I learned ASM first on the PDP-11, and I thought that was a great introduction to assembly language concepts. 6502 has a lot of similarities with the PDP-11 instruction set, but also gives you the ability to (if you want to) more easily deploy your code to a real chip inside a real machine.
The worst part of that are the demagogues who then paint California as some post-apocalyptic hell-hole. There's no doubt cities have problems with homeless, encampments, etc... but for many good old boys to paint this as a blue state, liberal city problem is such a bad faith argument.
What you are programming would change, just like what you're programming with would change. The projects who use 200-something crates are building desktop applications or something like that.

What we'd program if we only have microcontrollers available, would be much smaller in scope, maybe a lot of focus on controlling physical infrastructure for agriculture and such.
Then the codebase needs to fully (or as much as feasible) transition to the use of lexical bindings. It's not like we don't know if it will work; Common Lisp supports dynamic variables but you don't pay for them unless you actually use them, and good implementations of CL are fast enough. So what exactly is it that prevents the Emacs Lisp code base from becoming fast enough by abandoning dynamic variables wherever it can? By all rights it should not be any slower than Common Lisp at that point, unless some other obstacle has somehow eluded my attention.

This stuff is so insidious. I remember the outrage when Bethesda came out with the golden horse dlc, and now we are at a stage where people willingly accept paying money just for the small chance of getting a golden horse. Games are a big business now, and significant developer resources are spent on this type of monetization now, for a lot of games (like mobile gacha games), the core game elements almost feel like they only exist to enable the lootbox gambling loop.

I see your point but I feel it’s a little bit weakened by the fact that you’re limited to using words to describe it.

Hell, why not add some doors and walls to these little areas, and some indoor plumbing to make it sanitary. you could even go so far as to make part of the park for living, and part of it a shared recreational space for them and members of the community to comingle.

FoundationDB does have impressive performance, but implementing compound operations like INCR, APPEND, etc. would require at least an additional network round trip between the client and the server.

For example, INCR would require one read followed by one write of the new value, and of course this will result in very inefficient mutation range conflicts (which must be retried for another couple of round trips) if you have frequent updates of the same keys in multiple concurrent transactions.
> I don’t think it’s extraordinarily controversial

Do you have any evidence that people generally believe that renting is more conducive to success than homeowning? Should we take it as advice? "If you want to maximize your chances of success, don't buy a house!"

Strangely though, most successful people do own a home. Sometimes more than one! When exactly is it ok to buy a home, and why do successful people do it, if it makes them less focused?

> Do you think it’s easier to succeed running one business or a dozen? Why?

A dozen, of course. Because if you're running a dozen businesses, you likely have a lot of financial resources. And since many businesses fail, you have a greater chance of at least one of them succeeding. (Do I even need to mention that the richest person in the world has multiple businesses and is trying to buy yet another?)
