They're not resigning because they've suddenly realised he's a wrong 'un, they're leaving because he's become an electoral liability. But I suspect you know that - it's how politics works essentially everywhere, including the United States, for parties of all ideological persuasions.

If not, you might want to start with this short article in the Spectator[0] (one of the Conservative house journals, which Johnson used to edit) by Toby Young (a Tory) fifteen years ago (after his rise to prominence, but before his rise to power). The man's a scoundrel and his party have always known it. And even generally honest politicians aren't going to write "We gave you a go because we hoped you'd win the election, but we underestimated just how unpopular you'd get - please go now" in a resignation letter.

My first time firing a shotgun I was surprised it didn't sound anything like the video games I grew up playing (Doom, Duke Nukem, etc). In games they have a bassy boom with a lot of reverb while in reality it's a loud crack. At least that was the experience with my shotgun. I'm not sure how much it varies from model to model.
I don't think WWII happens without WWI and the interregnum clearly contributed to igniting WWII in many ways. Conditions after WWI never fully cleared to a period of world peace. More like, world divisions and clashes outside of global war. Then fascism and the Nazi rise, etc.

Edit-to be clear, this is a good moment to reflect on the tendencies towards war in the current era. It's the time to push back. Certain forces are clearly pumping out "accelerating" propaganda via the internet. Those same forces clearly have territorial disputes in mind along with global aspirations. The time to counter them is now, before WWIII fully ignites.

In what sense is it an escalation?
Lego is the brand name, so it's more like calling two Nike store Nikes rather than Nike stores. Outside of North America it's more usual to refer to many Lego bricks as, well, Lego bricks or Lego pieces. If we're playing with a lego set etc, we'd just say that we're playing with Lego.

Feedback is useful.

If you find a bug or think that something could really be improved it's fine, and in fact helpful, to give feedback. The key is always the phrasing and tone.
If they tried to have kids and were not able to then they failed. There is no "understanding" of the word where that's not true.

And people get upset or offended by anything, it's really not useful trying to shut down discussion by claiming you shouldn't say or think something because allegedly some hypothetical people might get upset.
If you just make it easier to have kids, people will have them. It's hard to justify bringing a child into this world when both would-be parents have to work to make ends meet and they can't afford childcare.

No matter what your viewpoint on Abe, that comes off a bit insensitive considering he was just assassinated. Unless he was a terrorist, you could perhaps empathize with the loss of a human life under violent act.
It's hard to find out what causes not sleeping throughout the night. Personally I had to:
- Cut out food and drink 6 hours before bedtime (even limiting water). This minimized my body waking me up for many digestive/expulsion issues. Now 3 hours before bedtime is enough.
- Read novels with vocalization in your head that aren't too exciting one hour before bedtime. The reading slowed my thinking and minimized waking up with racing thoughts. I now need 15-30 minutes of reading to fall asleep.
- Took 2 months of applying this daily before I could sleep through the night.

Good luck finding out what helps you!

The main reason I hear when poking more is "so we're not dependent on other teams to release our module".

On one hand, I am tempted to quote Plato(?) on how books ruin people's ability to remember things. On the other hand, if you don't regularly exercise your facilities, physical or mental, they do deteriorate, no question about it.
This will be abused by cops against first amendment auditors especially. This will also be challenged in and hopefully force the courts to answer the legality of recording law enforcement in any capacity instead of leaving it in limbo like they have now.
Making it illegal to film and report police brutality cases should see a signicant reduction in the number of police brutality cases (being reported).

It really depends on how vicious whatever commanding force controls the army would want to be.

If they're willing to rule over a country of bones, the asymmetric warfare resources the United States has available are sufficient to put down any rebellion. How much fight do you think 81 million armed civilians would keep in them if cities just started vaporizing?

A hypothetical American government with open rebellion wouldn't need to take and hold territory... It could decide specific chunks of the country are worth saving and nuke vast quantities of the rest.

I'd say that scenario is impossible, but this is America we're talking about... If there's one thing the history of American warfare teaches, It's that you can't apply the rest of the history of war to the way America fights wars. This is the country that gave us, in modern times, ending a rebellion by putting civilian cities to the flame until the civilians became too tired and hungry to support the war.
Do you need services though to achieve this? How about libraries?
If a foreign country had a rogue police force that killed citizens and then passed a law criminalizing the recording of the police we'd easily call them a dictatorship.

Install the vs code vim plugin and VS code's editor runs with vim key bindings (including editing modes): https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vscodevi... You can use any of VS code's remote editing plugins.

Alternatively the vscode-neovim plugin actually embeds a headless neovim inside vs code: https://github.com/vscode-neovim/vscode-neovim It's perhaps a bit more complete and featureful vs. the other plugin (like it can run all the same plugins and lua config as neovim) but IMHO it's kind of confusing and weird to have two editors running at once, configured independently.
No, you're missing the point. Our brains don't work like von Neumann machines with efficient architecture.

What does "up into the 6 figures" mean?

If I read https://www.seattleschools.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Ce... correctly then indeed experienced non-supervisory teachers may make over $100K/year.

But if you're really considering the maximum, then military officer pay is up into the $200K range, says https://www.federalpay.org/military#officer .

If "6 figures" is supposed to be average or median, https://www.salary.com/research/salary/benchmark/public-scho... says "The average Public School Teacher salary in Seattle, WA is $60,126 as of June 28, 2022, but the range typically falls between $50,222 and $73,312", with the 90-percentile at $85K.

https://www.seattleschools.org/departments/finance/Budget/cu... says :

> For the 2021-22 school year, a teacher in Seattle Public Schools costs approximately $131,525. This includes base salary, time responsibility incentive (TRI), contract days, tech days, medical, and other benefits.

> Specific details include: Average Salary Total: $79,673 / Medical insurance: $12,212 / Other Benefits, and Payroll & Pension Taxes: $39,640 / Total Cost: $131,525

So that's 6 figures if you include all benefits.

But military officers also have other benefits besides salary, like VA services for life, housing, and commissary access.

As for "best benefits package of any profession", ... really? Better than, say, college president?

And all those benefits come from at most $51,852/year on average?

We software developers ("The average Software Developer salary is $70,497 as of June 28, 2022, but the salary range typically falls between $62,812 and $78,654." - https://www.salary.com/research/salary/recruiting/software-d...) have a higher salary than Seattle-area teachers.

Why are our benefits worse, and what can we do to make them better?

How do you cancel subscription? There is no clear way to do it.
This really needs an ability to filter clients. If I wanted to see which choices were compatible between a few implementations, it is very hard to see that.

Sightly unrelated, but the choice of many ciphers that can be added and deprecated over time is a great feature.

There is a wave of single purpose tools that by design only support one and only one cipher (such as age and minisign). These tools will eventually be forcefully obsolete or become the thing they hate.

Imagine if ssh or tls was hard coded to a single cipher and you needed to change tools every 5-10 years.

Because AFAIK Device Guard sets limitations to what WPBT can do. Not to mention it's likely that additional kernel and boot integrity helps against all types of malware.

I live in a very rural area with cows on 3 sides. My neighbours have 400 acres of grazing land.

The vehicles that drive down my road are about 30% sedans/crossovers, 30% tractors, and maybe 20% old beater pickup trucks, like your classic 90's Toyota.

But I live somewhere that we don't encourage people to buy gargantuan tanks and use them to take your kids to school.
I am not a fan of how the author uses Notepad++ as his soapbox. Yes, I am an unhappy user, and I ended up uninstalling it and got a full refund :) It is not just ideology, technically, it is not my favorite editor.

But that's entirely my opinion, as much as I dislike it, the author can do whatever he wants as long as it is legal, and I don't think he did anything illegal regarding Notepad++. I owe him nothing, and I have no reason to complain, it is not like the world is lacking text editors anyways.

However, I don't believe in the idea that because you didn't pay, you have no right to complain. The author of Notepad++ makes money out of it through donations, maybe in other ways, I think that how he makes a living. And even if you don't pay, you are making the software popular, which helps him getting more donations. Furthermore, if you are committed to it, switching is not easy, "just use something else" is not a great argument. You have the right to get your voice heard if you don't like the way it is going. What you have no right to is harass the author, but that's not because it is free, that's because you shouldn't harass people, no matter how much you paid.

I'm sure people back then would have loved a vast information repository on taking care of horses too, and would have farmed external storage of lots of that information off of their minds. And at the same time they were taking care of horses, they were not taking care of whatever vast information processes their job requires.

Oh, and their information likely went stale much more slowly than things we deal with these days.

I wonder why they don't just take down the junk apps for violating trademarks and copyright licenses and add mechanisms to prevent those junk apps from reappearing, like blocking all "Inkscape" apps except the one from account of the trademark holder.

Another concern mentioned in the threads was having a different price between the app store and other ways to get the app, to fix that they should have simply required developers to refer to those other ways from the app store itself, or allowed developers to set an app as pay-what-you-want plus the Microsoft cut, or both.
Right !! Even if they do nothing else but just make everything that is clickable x5 bigger. It would already improve things x10.
All those things are quite achievable with a modular monolith. The API is the module.
This is purely a Pyrrhic victory. The courts have already ruled that filming police is protected by the First Amendment. It doesn’t matter whether you’re 8 feet or 20 feet. You can film them. Someone will challenge this, they will get arrested, it will go to court, and a judge will slap it down. This really is overblown.
That's the theory. What I've observed is that that companies who cannot achieve modularity w/ monolith are often the same ones incapable to achieve modularity w/ MS anyway.

So now you have in practice is a distributed monolith, with brittle, ad-hoc dependencies between services. A symptom is that most features require touching many MS.

Nicholas Carr explains many different examples(wayfinding, maps, memory, etc) in his book “The Shallows”.

There’s also that book “Moonwalking with Einstein” by Joshua Foer where the author becomes a memory champion by embodying themselves in the competition space having never practiced it prior.

While we can put blame on technology for hurting our abilities to further form certain skills, it has also allowed us to learn skills we would’ve never been able to learn in our lifetimes.

The brain is plastic and will reshape as needed. If you moderate your tech usage, you may start to notice your attention and memory to improve gradually from doing nothing but that. The mode we put our brain in from over-consuming has its purpose. It’s to scan information and process it quickly. Not to store it for long term purposes.

But the real test is to try this for yourself. I’ve been experimenting with this over the last 5 years and have found this to be true for me.

One time I was even found in Montreal with no phone which meant no maps, no way to understand French, and I had to quickly develop all these skills in a week to get by. It’s not the end of the world by any means. Life finds a way.
The memory feats of people able to recite the whole of the Quran have always impressed me very much, and it makes me wonder how well they fare on remembering other things.

You’re blaming this solely or mainly on immigration? You’re also going to have to be more specific.

> You just going to conveniently skip multiple events leaving Europe in shambles and setting the US up to be in prime position to take over the global economy?

Even without the wars, the US already had a trajectory of supreme power. We had the natural resources & geographical advantages, as well as the size and quality of our population which was positively impacted by immigration.This is why the UK pondered going to war with us again.

This was the US plan to counter it

I think it can have its benefits but I don't think it should be your entire application. I know some people swear by it, and if that's what works for them and keeps them profitable, you know what? Go for it.

I think serverless is fantastic on the other hand[1]. I had a web application where I was parsing shapefiles to then import them into SQL Server. These files could be massive and take longer to process than they took to upload. As a result I figured that it might make more sense to create a serverless function in Azure to parse them once they were uploaded to blob storage. This was very easy to implement and transparent. If you are using something like Azure and want efficient ways to process your data without doing it all in your monolithic application and blocking your users, or creating a thread in the background which makes me a little uncomfortable, then serverless is a godsend.

I think Microservice architecture if I had to pin where it might make sense would be for APIs. I would then emphasize on versioning each microservice API. If you do a microservice architecture for APIs you can update parts of your API without taking the whole beast down (unless you use something like Erlang or slots in the case of Azure Web Apps, where it forwards new requests to new slot). I think this might be a reasonable use case for microservices. For a normal website though, I think monolithic with some serverless helper functions (if needed) is probably good enough otherwise.

[1] Note: Let's not confuse microservices for serverless, because it's not necessarily the same thing, although some people use serverless to achieve the microservice architecture, serverless functions can do so much more!
It's 280 now. Double the challenge.
It always baffled me to hear:" Oh we're gonna do microservices, because our monolith is a total mess and we're very unproductive". If you can't organize a monolith, what makes you think you will be able to organize microservices which are vastly more complicated to work with. How about you learn as a company the proper skills and habits to achieve logical modularity within a single process before you try doing that with multiple processes.
> Psycho-Pass, is a really good anime in terms of society and crime

At it's core it's an exploration in Bentham, Mill's view of Society, warped into some dystopian technocratic utopian ideal of what it should be.

Sadly, to appeal to the masses and get it on screen it had to be tied into some cop-drama, the first seasons were good, with good philosophical examination, but the movie in Netflix and following seasons were utter garbage. I've tried re-watching them, and other than re-hashing the cop plot it was pretty lame.

I highly recommend to first 2 seasons to techno utopians who have a very shallow and superficial understanding o the Human psyche and think that 'AI solves that' type hand wringing doesn't always end up like this. We Humans are the apex predator for a reason, and people who don't examine the Human condition and try to engineer society from an ivy tower always forget that.

The CCP is the best example of a Psycho-pass analogue and the mere fact that this latest hack reveals they are a more advanced Stasi-like police state with poor OPSEC shows just how feckless these things are in practice. Sadly, the consequences are real: Tibet, Xinjiang, Hongkong various African countries.

With that said, read this [0] as a primer and stick to the first 2 seasons in Japanese sub if you do give it a watch and end it with the movie if you MUST in order to spare yourself the disappointment of the latter parts.
