I took a whack at using Vale a year or so ago, but was overwhelmed by having to either:

* creating my own style guide

* using one of the existing ones

We have a DevDocsReadme that has some style rules we enforce manually. Is the best way to get going with vale to start with that doc and write rules for that?

Can you apply rules to asciidoc and markdown source docs, or do you have to apply it to the end product (HTML, etc)?

It seems like such a cool idea. Any pointers to 'get started' for existing largeish documentation sets would be much appreciated. (I will read your tutorial, @remoquete.)
Someone responded and deleted a comment that this isn't how it works. I guess I'll never know.

To be charitable: a large percentage of Americans are acculturated into continuous high monthly outlays to own an acceptably large and new vehicle. A car payment is just an unfortunate fact of life to a lot of them, and not a lifestyle choice.

I grew up seeing my parents with near-continuous car payments, and started to continue the cycle with my own nearly-new car purchase two weeks after starting my first post-college job. Why, a junior IT consultant needs a nice car! It wouldn't do at all to be seen driving a 12 year old Camry!

Fortunately, dating and then marrying a sensible German who bought his first car at the ripe old age of 32 (several years old, really small) helped reform me, and I'm now on board with a program of buying a 3-4 year old car with low mileage and driving it until it starts having expensive, difficult-to-solve problems. Germany has long had a large pool of such vehicles fresh off corporate leases and with good maintenance histories.

Current ride when I'm not pushing a stroller: 2017 Ford Focus wagon, modified by Ford to run on LPG, which is currently half the price of gasoline or diesel. I'm rather proud of that one: I picked it out last summer, when LPG was somewhat, but not wildly, cheaper to burn than gasoline.
Please stop with the motte and bailey. I interpreted what you wrote and what you wrote was itself disingenuous. You stated that a zero-dollar income in a laissez faire market is sufficient to render anyone earning that amount a slave. You made no exceptions. As to the claim that the "more enlightened" are those who would reject the laissez-faire system, you've presented no credible evidence to that either.
It's the people and organizations receiving that $106,000/yr that have the incentive. They have no disincentive to reduce recidivism, and every incentive to lobby for laws that increase incarceration.

If the aggregate across all employees is negative, the company is losing money. If the aggregate over all employees is positive, you have profit.

It's like that old joke about marketing budgets: half is wasted, but it's impossible to tell which half. The same can be true for employees, maybe half your employees lose money, but the other half make enough that you're profitable, but you can't attribute every dollar that comes into your company to the specific employee that generated that dollar.

There are countries in Europe which do not have a minimum wage mandated by the law - rather, it's the unions that negotiate them - and they still end up with more than people get in US. I guess you could term such negotiations "regulation", but it'd be really stretching it.

Regulating a broken system is an exercise in futility. We need a system in which the feedback loops produce the desired outcomes in the first place.
Well they'll need to grow at least 3% per year since everyone is going to be guaranteed a COL raise every year even on bad years.
Not talking about politics specifically at work (which is the scope they were addressing of which is pretty concretely indicated two sentences later with "work is work") does not mean they never talk about politics at other times in their life.

Also not talking about politics doesn't mean not engaging with politics at all. One could still be listening, thinking and voting which means not simply embracing the status quo despite not talking about it readily.
Do you work in tech in any capacity? Then you work for a company that uses, or at least benefits from, forced labor on many levels, all the way down to child slaves being forced to mine rare earth minerals by militant juntas. If you don't, you probably purchase and use technology, feeding one of the many economic sectors that depend on forced or coerced labor. Clothing? Slavery. Agriculture? Slavery. Manufacturing? Slavery.

When people say there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, this is what they mean. No one's hands are clean here. It's a problem something as simple as boycotting won't fix, because you would have to boycott everything - the entire system runs on blood and violence, top to bottom.
It's infinitely more likely that you're tapping into internal circuits in your brain that are not normally exposed to ping directly, than that you're tapping into secret aliens living in a parallel reality (the latter would require breaking assumptions for about 100 layers of the scientifically understood and verified stack we are running on).
Found online:

Is it true that there is freedom of speech in the Soviet Union, just like in the USA?.

Yes. In the USA you can stand in front of the White House and shout "Down with Reagan!", and you will not be punished. Equally, you can stand in Red Square in Moscow and yell "Down with Reagan!", and you will still not be punished.
You can work in tech and your work could be accurately described as indentured servitude. Tech if anything has a disproportionate amount of one specific kind: immigrants on employer specific visas.

Then they are free to seek gainful employment at any number of other spaceship companies.

You seem to assume that if you just show up at SpaceX's door with a briefcase and say "I want to work on space travel" that you are somehow entitled to a job there. No.

> without a petulant billionaire

Just admit you hate the guy for personal reasons. That's OK; you're allowed to have an opinion. Most people wouldn't purposely go work at a place that's run by a guy they despise then try to undermine said business. A better grasp of the employer-employee relationship would be helpful.

Just chiming in to say that I concur with your reply here; this article seems to be missing the fundamental point which is, "when/where do experts capable of avid citizenship come from?"

It's worth noting that this can be reduced to, "how can you make the public more well informed and capable of mediating and governing itself?"
>It’s an excellent, unparalleled tool to groom and compromise people, most especially children of high value targets.

Two earnest Qs: 1) is there any evidence of that? 2) wouldn't this concern apply to any network where private data is stored? E.g. Were Tim Cook so inclined to be a blackmailer (which I have no reason to think he or Apple is), it seems like he would have access to tons of compromising data on US citizens. Even a successfully enforced requirement to mandate in-country storage that is inaccessible elsewhere seems insufficient to prevent the kind of bad actors you're concerned about, no?

Nice, I love when people put words in my mouth, especially when I've been good enough to state my argument in good faith.

This very comment thread has people saying, among other things, that Musk oversteps on Twitter, bring up the SEC charges, bring up the twitter purchase, bring up his freedom of speech absolution, it goes on for days.

So you are either blind incapable of reading, or are a troll. Since you shoved words in my mouth and are still parroting 'bcuz rich', I'm going with the latter.
I love Friday and just reread it last weekend. Often I think that Elon Musk believes he is a character in a Heinlein novel. Tesla is Shipstone, the cars are just a mechanism to build better batteries. SpaceX, that's just DD Harriman from the man who sold the moon/sail beyond the sunset. The Boring company is how you build Luna City ala The moon is a harsh mistress. Or maybe a space catapult. Or maybe, I'm just hoping for Heinleinian hero.

Where do you think ideologies come from? One of the most common places is some identifiable group's economic self-interest; neoliberalism is that for the owner class in capitalist society, which is why institutions controlled by that class (especially when they are controlled broadly by that class rather than by an individual member who may have personal quirks) tend to pursue it.

Yea excellent example. Much more satisfying!
I use the convention that an 'null' value is a value that was not explicitly set by the user.

So in C#, I would always use a nullable boolean in this case (choices yes and no). If the field is a required value, I would annotate the field as such.

When using the field in an ORM, the required annotation would lead to a not-null field in the database.

When using the field in a dto, the required annotation could be used for validation of incoming input.

If the user should have the choice "yes", "no", "unknown", I would use a nullable enum to express this. An 'null' value means that the value was not explicitly set. The enum value "unknown" indicates that the user explicitly chose the "unknown" value.

So, in both cases the 'null' is not a separate state, it simply indicates that no explicit value was given to the field.

California is a massive outlier for sure. Just to be sure, I checked for some statistics, and sure enough:

> Based on FY 2020 data, the average annual COIF for a Federal inmate in a Federal facility in FY 2020 was $39,158 ($120.59 per day). The average annual COIF for a Federal inmate in a Residential Reentry Center for FY 2020 was $35,663 ($97.44 per day).

Apparently, private prisons are paid by the government based on how much it costs to incarcerate, so that would seem to imply that at least anyone who could benefit from the profit of a private prison would have incentives to try to get as many incarcerations as possible.

That said, I only did a cursory search. It seems this gets pretty complex.
I work in a slightly different context but have dealt with a similar problem. I build Unity3D apps and I write a lot UI for the editor that affects how things are serialized. I've stopped serializing enums due to being burned too many times. When people:

-Add entries not at the bottom
-Rename entries
-Remove entries
-Rearrange entries

So instead I made a kind of data-driven enum that you create through the editor. Each entry (called a key) in the "enum" is backed by a guid. You can associate a name with each key.

When you want to save info like on/off/unset. You create an enum. Then you declare a key in your data model. The UI will then show that key as a drop-down with the mapped names as the choices. But in the end, the associated guid is what is recorded.

Not only does this largely solve the, add, rename, re-arrange problems, it solves some other persistent issues as well. I've gotten designers to pickup this tool so they stop using ints and string to signal events. This way, they define their signal once as a data-driven enum and then they see it as a choice throughout the app rather than as something they have to type in matching.

It also causes engineers to write components which are more configurable for designers. Instead of checking a literal token like:

if (currentEvent.appState == MyAppStateEnum.Start)
doSomething()

They declare the Key and check its value:
public Key appPhaseToDoSomething;

if (currentEvent.appState == appPhaseToDoSomething)
doSomething()

Since appPhaseToDoSomething is exposed as a dropdown in the editor, it means a designer can change the phase when something might happen without an engineer. And engineers basically have to write in this modular way because there's no token to check.
Sure, I was pointing this out only because it's a signal that their product has gone through a more rigorous approval process to be accepted by insurance

I love the fact that right there on KDE.org there's a screenshot of Kontact with that big obnoxious vertical "HTML Message" black bar in the middle of the screen. I remember reading a bug report some 10 or 15 years ago to allow it to be hide-able somehow at least with the author just flat-out refusing to do it or allow patches for it.

I'll never use Kontact for this reason but I do like most of the rest of KDE.
It's the oldest story in finance: easy money, hubris, a lack of regulation, and a sense of entitlement ("it's all a scam, so there's nothing wrong being one more scam").
I'm sorry, but your impression is wrong. The biggest correlate with income is not your punctuality, not hours worked, not productivity. It is this: your parents' income. This directly contradicts the (popular) view that we live in a meritocracy where all you have to do to succeed is work hard and be smart and apply yourself.

To me that is a real tell. New employees are a risk, but you can tell if they are going to work out after a year. If you are still discounting the RSUs at the second year, it is in hopes that some won't survive to the payout of the third.

Hypothetically? Not necessarily as an attacker can stage malware in places that will survive a factory reset. Eg: Malware can live in firmware; or recovery volume not wiped in Factory Reset. An extremely resourced attacker could write malicious microcode to your CPU. Can’t reset that.

Realistically? it means CoTS gov grade malware like gamma finfisher etc, which should die when all persistent flash or disk storage is reset.

Practically, I would guess that it’s whatever the capabilities of Australian malware vendors are shipping feature wise for the products you are trying to protect.

Usually, the issue with this kind of thing is that

* this is a form of energy transmission that requires labor for the actual transport (the train crew) and so is automatically much more expensive and difficult than a dumb pipeline or power line which requires much less staffing

* it's hard to create energy storage that isn't also a bomb in the wrong conditions, and train tracks pass through populated areas. Fuel already has restrictions on where it can be routed because there have been fuel train explosions.
2) context is everything.

Indeed. The context has nothing to do with weird digressions about the tolerance of the left or picket line legislation in the UK. The context is that a company fired some people for sending emails criticising a CEO with a long track record of being even less tolerant of criticism than the average CEO whilst asserting it's unacceptable for staff to question the company's anti-harassment policies. The context is the CEO also has a track record of threatening to get people who never worked with him fired from their completely unrelated job if they don't take their blog posts criticising him and his company down. Stating that he may be legally entitled to do this is one thing. Citing the paradox of tolerance to argue that cancelling people who criticise Elon Musk and ruling out the possibility of debate on SpaceX harassment policy is in fact compatible with "free speech absolutism", because email circulars questioning the boss' behaviour and harassment policies (or blogging on SeekingAlpha, I guess) intimidates people is... something else entirely.

Why is your framing and solution to exclude people? In the "early internet," the SNR nostalgia you have was primarily a result of better moderation, not exclusion of the "masses." That said, the decline of moderation can occur with the addition of new users without a proportionate increase of moderators and such. Still, they are not logically equivalent, it is principally the lack of moderation which is the actual issue. Systems if they want to maintain norms need to adapt to changing times.

Ironically people's starting point for "when things became bad" is almost always after they join, so even "seasoned users" disagree on the start of the decline in general. That's the problem with exclusionary rhetoric in almost all walks of life, because the easiest response to any sort of "we're full" rhetoric is and should be "you leave first" and such a response has no real counter.
