>No because proximity to a Post Office isn't a reasonable criteria for suppressing a persons right to vote.

How does Europe do it? Do you believe the way they do it suppresses a person's right to vote? If we did it the same way as Europe would you be fine with ID laws in the US?

If requiring an ID is suppressing voting rights then requiring and ID and a background check (that you may even have to pay for) to purchase a gun is a violation of rights. Do you support removing the background check cost and ID requirement? If not then I don't really care if you think requiring an ID is suppressing voting since you support suppressing other rights with ID requirements.

>Especially because

There are two hardships currently

1. You have to prove you are who you say you are.

2. You have to wait in the DMV

For #1 this is a requirement in Europe as far as I know. I haven't seen anybody saying that suppresses votes. You may be the first?

For #2 that is easy to solve by allowing ID services at additional places like the post office. I would be open to more than just the post office and DMVs, I just used the post office because they already have passport services so it is easy to add other IDs.
Nonsense. Don't put words in my mouth.
Umm, Propane is constantly trying to set you on fire, in fact harder than gasoline and kerosene, because by default when it escapes it's going to switch to gas phase and, being heavier than air, will pool instead of nicely getting away, making it much worse explosion danger than AVGAS or Jet-A1/Diesel.

Any leaks in unventilated space create risk of fuel-air explosion. Moreover, even comparatively "low" pressure systems where propane/lpg is used in gas form have pressure considerably higher than atmospheric and from the point of dangers and maintenance issues are a high pressure system just waiting to create a nice FAE lightshow. High efficiency liquid injection systems would be even funnier (FSVO).

With the default state of propane being gas, and 5%-20% mix being apparently sweet spot for explosion, you're probably going to have to redesign everywhere that fuel lines go with an eye for propane vapours. Not fun at all.
I had great experiences in the tech industry for over 25 years with very little overwork, great pay, and though I have some skills, really nothing special. My way to win was getting along in teams, and being vigilant on behalf of customers/company. I have a high school diploma. This was easy money for me.

I sometimes have similar regrets, but remind myself that I can do far better things without the baggage of that old stuff. After all, what I truly miss is the spirit of the era rather than the physical artifacts. Much of that can be recreated by other means: emulation for the software, and electronics for the hardware.

As UmbertoNoEco says, CPUs absolutely are actuators controlling flow of electrons.

In fact a single transistor is both a sensor and actuator.

In fact you can use them to do things they were not designed to do like trough row hammer:

CPUs can also detect things like collisions with cosmic rays.

CPUs just can't produce macroscopic forces relevant on human scale.
> Every person should be able to look up their ballot and see how it was counted at the end of the election.

Generally the thinking is that there must never exist a mechanism by which you can prove to some other person how you voted, or voters can be coerced into voting a certain way.

I'm more of the Marie Kondo style but couldn't get rid of the computers of my childhood: Atari 600 XL, Commodore 128, Amiga 500, Ti 99/4a (although that one I bought only a few years ago). My most prized possession is a very rare 5"1/4 floppy disk reader for the Amiga (which was supposed to have 3"1/2 floppies): not the official Commodore 5"1/4 floppy disk reader (also a rarity) but a bootleg one.

I've got two big boxes and when I move to another country, these come with me. We've already done three countries together. The Atari 600 XL and the Commodore 128 were still working during the first lockdown (I was stuck at home and took the time to test them).

Once in a rare while I boot the non-modded, time capsule, C128 of my teenage years and launch the game Commando just to hear the song on the SID chip.

I take it they still bring me some joy!

> Their fuel is enriched far higher than terrestrial nuclear plants

Which is surely one of the reasons why they generate less waste -- less non-fissile fuel to be irradiated, smaller reactor vessels to be activated, etc.

Plus the average power generated is way lower for a nuclear submarine. A single commercial ~1 GW nuclear reactor quite likely produces as much power as the whole US submarine fleet on average, and there's hundreds of such ~1 GW units in the world.

And less power means fewer fission events, which means less activation and less waste. So even a sunk sub is nowhere near the levels of a sunk commercial waste fuel shipment when it comes to what either of the two could release into the environment should the bad stuff leak out.

> So if you have two units, B can start after A either because B's definition includes After=A, or because A's definition includes Before=B.

That's true. However, most software can be easily misconfigured if you don't know what you're doing. And when creating any kind of DAG, it's implied we need to avoid cycles. I suppose systemd could use a tool for visualizing service dependencies and order.

> Order and dependency is specified separately

Order is stricter than dependency, and it slows down the whole process. If things can run in parallel, they should. If they cannot, then we should specify it explicitly. Leaving out order would make systemd useless for situations when order matters, and leaving out dependency would slow the whole process down.

> Some properties only apply to some systemd units. For example, Before= dependencies don't (didn't?) apply to device targets.

I agree, the rules are pretty complex. I don't like that about systemd at all. Combined with the fact that there are 175 different options [0] you can use in a unit file makes systemd really unpleasant for writing any kinds of services. I have a couple of boilerplate unit files I've written long time ago and I just reuse them with changed parameters.

>Finally, one of the alleged mules was reached out to - and it transpired he was not, in fact, a mule, but was dropping off the ballots for himself, his wife, and adult children, which is entirely within the law.

...and one was reached out to that said she was part of a bigger conspiracy on collecting ballots and dropping them into boxes that weren't being monitored by video. One example doesn't mean it applies to all. How about the guy that dropped off ballots at 3AM, starts to bike away and then goes back to take a picture of the ballot box? That doesn't seem suspicious to you...or the other cases they showed where people were doing this in a way that didn't appear like a "hey everyone look I voted" social media post...
"Mission-critical tools should be hyper-responsive."
Did not seem to be important with the worlds slowest dev-tool ever, Atom. ;)

"Real-time collaboration produces better software."
At design level, ok. Programming is in most cases not a co-op operation. If it is, then you are probably creating solutions while writing code which is the best guarantee for bad solutions.

“Conversations should happen close to code.”
Agree to some degree, this is a big flaw with GIT. It is also a flaw with many programming langs and tools. Even if I use collaboration features in VS and VSC many langs are simply not designed for presenting code to people not highly familiar with the specific code base. So, an editor may not solve the problem here.

“Your editor should disappear.”
I mainly code in VS and what I can do in VS in 10 mins takes me a couple of hours in VSC. A tool should aim to be the default of a problem. The amount of time I have seen wasted over the years with people trying to master VIM or git from a prompt is just ridiculous.
Is this about the same for BigTechCos as much as BigRegularCos?

I've done work for big insurance companies, "tech companies" like Verizon, or big soda companies, and they're as high friction as you'd expect. Somehow I imagined BigTechCos to use better tools and be nimbler on decision-making, letting employees make their own decisions without as much oversight.

> > Fast gigabit internet is cheap and everywhere

> Check your privilidge!

Umm, what? This is part of "the ultimate developer experience wishlist for the average rich-country developer in 2030", not a statement expected to be universally true in 2022. I think it's wildly overoptimistic, but "check your privilege" doesn't seem like an appropriate response to optimism.

> Generally our industry is phemomenally irresponsible, there will be some life-critical service that gets built with this attitude, and no-one will realise untill some shit hits the fan - whether it's a power cut or an internet cable being cut but a digger or the AWS datacenter burning down - and then people will die.

The "average rich-country developer" doesn't build life-critical services. If someone extends the author's techniques to a domain where they're inappropriate, that's on them.
Very nice! Great against snoopers that lack authority but for when they do have some authority (bosses, government) without plausible deniability it can do more harm than good.
>(as is done subtly here) an prelude to suggesting violence.

What is this even supposed to mean? A prelude to suggesting violence? Is that when you don't actually suggest violence but the word 'prelude' is used to make someone fill in the blanks to reinterpret it that way?

It's quite rich that pointing out state violence results in factually incorrect accusations (not to mention personal insult implying I'm not going to "understand complexity") as an attempt to turn the tables and make me sound the violent one instead of the systems that cause innocents to be maimed and killed by police actions.

Yeah, police gangs in LA exist (including those showing police officers glorifying killing) 'but they're not representative' of the problem. No the real problem must be 'preludes' to non-existent suggestions of violence.

>They’re just bad at their jobs.

And it is ever so convenient that they are bad in their jobs in ways that result in the disfavor of the disadvantaged, poor, and certain minorities. I'm sure that does not result in relatively better treatment for those in elevated positions of power (such as high level elected officials, who we don't dare call the 'ruling class'). No these are just happy accidents that are not at all guided by those in elevated positions of power (but not the 'ruling class'!).
A thank you to those who posted tips, although I do wonder how we are expected to know this! How did you all find out?

They were priming my kids...

I don't know why you people keep bringing up those subjects that have nothing to do with the thread.

This is about easily disabling support for one thing. The OP says it's easier in FreeBSD because you add a line to a text file and recompile the kernel. We're saying it's also very easy in Linux even without recompiling the kernel by simply blacklisting and/or deleting a module. Alternatively, recompiling the kernel is also quite easy but what's the point? To shave off 5kb from the kernel, or not even that, since the module is external anyway? My time is worth a lot more than those potential few kbs.

By the time you're fine-tuning your kernel to be the absolute minimum for a specific machine, it doesn't really matter if it's FreeBSD or Linux. It will take time and probably quite a bit of trial and error. And then again, if you have ever run `make menuconfig` on a Linux kernel tree you probably know it's pretty easy. In fact, the discoverability is excellent there, since the options are presented to you with explanations. Is that harder than manually editing a conf file, having to know beforehand exactly what lines to add/delete/edit and with what values? If you think it is, you can also edit the conf file for the Linux kernel.

I have nothing against FreeBSD, but this argument is total nonsense.
That's wild. They want to punish businesses that make physical things?
It doesn't matter whether the cache is co-located with the "client" that ultimately uses the data. Say A is a database, and B1, B2, B3... are memcached servers. The exact same situation applies.

> So on update (e.g. when you mutate A, you know all the Bs to invalidate).

But "knowing" this is a big part of what people mean when they say cache invalidation is hard! If the value in B is dependent on a complicated function of A's state, then it may be difficult to automatically determine, for any given mutation to A, which parts of B's cache need to be invalidated.

> There are some attempts to do invalidation-based cache on clients, but they are hard because of the reason I just mentioned. So usually client cache is TTL'ed.

Given this statement, the original title of this submission is even more baffling. If you recognize that data can be cached in clients, and that invalidating those caches is so hard that most systems -- including yours -- just completely abandon the goal of being able to do it correctly/reliably, then how can you claim your system makes it no longer a hard problem?
Choosing a domain name is arguably one of the core use cases here; I don't think they were looking for extremely creative readings here. What they don't want people to do is take these results and slap them in an ad to drive business. But using these results to pick your own domain name, which you personally plan to use, is fine and good.

Our environment functions as an extension of our brains and this is especially the case with memory. Your overall activity level will also affect your memory over time, though that relationship differs for everybody.

You might have a health issue but it can fall into a wide range of stuff going from mild to pretty consequential. The only solid recommendation you can get from an online comment about that is to schedule a full physical exam and discuss with your doctor. In the meantime look for trends, try to record their directionality, and show those records to your doctor when you're seen. Keeping records might help catch issues that are rare or unexpected from someone of your age.

I think your analogy would be valid if the previous commenter had, for example, asked their sister-in-law how the browser interprets the JavaScript it receives, or how it builds the display from the DOM. Now that would be asking about irrelevant and unnecessary levels of detail which are best abstracted away. However, knowing that the process starts with the browser receiving HTML over HTTP is essential to understand what's going on, even if you know nothing about the details.

If I may, a truly similar experience regarding keyboards would be this:

I had a similar experience with a coworker. When I asked him how the code that he types appears on the IDE on his screen and not on that of any of our colleagues' screens, all I got was confused looks. When I showed him that his keyboard is wirelessly connected only to his computer, which runs the IDE, and his computer is then specifically connected to his own monitor via a cable, his mind was blown.

Despite VSCode being an Electron app, I've never had any performance issues with it - really, it's a great example of how Electron can be done right.

On collaboration, I'm not sure what they might add that isn't already covered by GitHub/GitLab/AzDo etc. Again being honest, "collaboration" sounds like a weak Open Source pitch to VCs. I'd be interested in some details though, incase there is something truly novel here.

That seems more like rural. Every suburb I've lived in has been on the order of 5,000-40,000 people (and that's one town, with towns not separated by anything but an invisible line).
Y’know, could probably replace metered parking, public (municipal-owned) garage fees and parking permits with this.
