The Taliban would like to have a word with you. Insurgency is hard to beat when you have a motivated enemy. And enacting outrageous gun laws is one way to motivate people.

Not to mention, that's not a good argument against the 2A. "Technology has advanced, and only the Federal government has that technology. Guess the 2A is pointless now and doesn't matter." Sounds to me like we deserve more access to advanced technology.

Friendly reminder that private citizens owned warships.
You could adjust the question to be “the brakes have failed and..” to avoid that out.
It is effectively bait, irrespective of intent. Why would you say that “this pastry is great: it’s blueberry and not chocolate”. Is the implication that 50% of the enjoyment is on account of what it is not? Just weird.
But I know Iranians earning crypto for their remote work.
It's almost half the speed of the old base model. I think most consumers don't understand how much drive speed effects performance. The cpu is waiting around for the drive most of the time. So this feels like a major downgrade for the base model.

Why are 10 years not reasonable? Like ebay is full of 2013 laptops and people buy these.

If it is not reasonable why can you resell it for a large amount after 5 years?
Not that amazing. In the US, see Christians, white people, and men.
As is your right.

It will need to start from the individual level so I will be encouraging everyone around me to limit their exposure to Indian businesses.
Would it be equally weird or correct to write the macOS? After all, it’s short for “Mac Operating System”.

I’m not a native speaker so I’m genuinely curious.
Have you tried https://www.spreadsheetweb.com/ ?
Well, unlike west in India the impact of the said terrorism are much more visible. In the 90s and 2000s, all the major cities were having routine attacks by the said terrorists, so you can see why it is easier to gain sympathy on anything that can be seen to act on it. It is quite a big issue in the country.
Huh.

I feel like Reddit doesn't really have links anymore. The subreddits that have external links are usually spam subreddits which humans don't visit.

The human-inhabited subreddits seem to mostly be favoring selftext, images, youtube videos, maybe wikipedia, and possibly some image hosts (but they are falling out of favor since imgur turned to shit). Very rarely do they seem to link to other websites.
Conter-argument:

And while defensive gun use (DGU) has been recorded as happening, what other things happen when a gun is around? At least one study found you were more likely to be shot if you owned a gun and used it defensively:

Having a gun around has a 'cost' that may not be worth the purported benefits.
Given that you could order guns in the Sears catalog with no background check whatsoever back in the day, it's not baseless. Access to guns was demonstrably easier.

It's a baseless opinion that there are "too many guns", without even an attempt to define a range for what constitutes "too many". The implication is "there should be no guns", but that's a moral opinion to be debated, not a fact.
That's a good point, shouldn't the FBI's apps be open source?
This is THE MACHINE to buy.
It's networking, plus the fact that they often own their own production companies, plus the ability to portray a younger role well into their 50s. Brad Pitt is older now than Marlon Brando was in The Godfather.

You have a lot more professional options if you can pull off a younger character.
An economic explanation makes sense. I wonder if a monetizable ecosystem could exists with longer form content in multiple forms, ie. multimedia, a word that has almost disappeared.

There is Patreon, Substack, Youtube and others that does work, the problem lies in the curation and personalisation that seems to have gone out the window replaced by algos and simple designs with bland and uninspired designs and concepts.
MY only gripe with the M1 and M2 Air the lack of support for more than a single external screen.
I feel like it's just a pure marketing play to only support more than one external screen on the 14" pro. They have Magsafe and two thunderbolt 3 / USB 4 ports, they could totally support 2 Apple studio displays, at least on the 24GB model.
`300 GB` to `10 GB` was bit over optimistic ;-) 300 GB already included 3 weeks of data. `100 GB` to `10 GB` is a more realistic number.

Many weather variables like precipitation or pressure are very easy to compress. Variables like solar radiation are more dynamic and therefore less efficient to compress.

Getting radar data is horrible... In some countries like the US or Germany, it is easy, but many other countries do not offer open-data radar access. For the time being, I will integrate more open datasets first
That was designed as a fundamentally subversive set of lessons. I doubt we even have the will to make an accurately subversive movie version of Diamond Age (look at what happened to Altered Carbon), much less create that sort of "book".
You could legally own a machine gun in 1962. Plenty of options were available, including the AR-15 — with full auto, which is no longer available today.

Here’s a 1964 ad for a commercial AR-15 model: https://www.ebay.com/itm/403353839122

Also, a six shot revolver can be reloaded in seconds using a speed loader; basically, a piece of plastic that holds six rounds of ammunition in the right position to drop directly into the cylinder.

Police officers commonly carried them.
Cultural backwater right up to that point, and religious extremist right up to that point. Many countries/regions never went through such a phase and that is what allowed Europe to do what it did, it essentially leapfrogged from the dark ages to modernity in an extremely short span of time while elsewhere not much changed. It also enabled a period of expansionism and engendered some of the worst atrocities committed by mankind today, but the scientific and cultural progress can not be denied.
I dug a website out of an old archive last week. I needed it as a documentary maker has been in touch and some of their questions are answered by just looking at this website from the mid-late 1990s.

It still works. All I used at the time were server side includes and a bit of PERL that was in a /cgi-bin/ . Sure there are some dead links (to some real media files hosted by a third party long-since defunkt) but mostly it just works as SSI is still supported in most web servers and fastCGI exists.

I'm installing it on a laptop tomorrow morning to show the documentary maker. Interestingly they were interviewing me about one thing, but the site shows another thing... that we were one of the first music acts to allow the full download of an album online. This was in early 1998 when we put the entire catalogue online as media files to listen to (first as Real Audio files, later as mp3s, before also embracing Napster and even making live concerts available for free via that).

It's good stuff, early web sites were fun and exciting.

The best feature of this website which was for a record label, is that the bands didn't know what to do with a website so instead I gave control to fans... the whole site was user-generated content as far back as 1996. Things like guitar tabs, lyrics, mishearings, stories, fan artwork... the official record label site was made by fans and just became an archive of everything that the fans and label together cared about. In 1996 this was a link on every page "email if you want to add your content"... it worked.
Incompetence is the general state of affairs in the life of us all, unfortunately.
A lot of great advice in this thread.

One more though, your origin (Iran) is unfortunately not doing you a favor. If you decide to follow an industry or alike, consider that you might fight some ressentiments / legal restrictions. For example, public, manufacturing or similar industries most likely will be very cautious at hiring someone from Iran.
I checked and you're right: The endpoint that returns the file list has a hardcoded set of excludes and pays no attention to `.gitattributes`.

I think it's reasonable to respect the linguist overrides here so I'll open a PR to remove entries from the exclude if the repo has a `-linguist-generated` or `-linguist-vendored` gitattribute for that directory [1]. So in your case you can add

build/** -linguist-generated

to `.gitattributes` and once my PR lands files under `build` should be findable in file-finder.

Thanks for pointing this out! Feel free to DM me on twitter (@cbrasic) if you have more questions.

[1] Recursively matching a directory with gitattributes requires the `/**` syntax unlike .gitignore: https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes#:~:text=with%20a%20fe...
I'm not sure Apple deserves that much benefit of the doubt.

I've found myself hunting through iOS settings to hide News on that slide screen to the left.

It was definitely put there by Apple and I'm confident they were paid to put it there by those chasing advertising dollars.

Because the real world is more complex than a lever, and there are many unknowns in how either physical or human manifestations respond to actions, and doing nothing removes your intent from the mix.

A very clear example of this is medicine with the "do no harm" principle - that the actions of the physician should be chosen to minimize the scenarios of harming the patient under any circumstance - under chance, under lack of patient compliance, etc.

Furthermore, the actions in the real world have also different experiences and meanings. Its easy to think about pulling a lever to kill 1 instead of 5, but not easy to think of killing one to harvest their organs and save other 5, though they are, with a lot of abstraction, "equivalent moral actions".
Yet there are also large networks like QuakeNet or UnderNet with no TLS anywhere.
This sort of thing is why I look askance at the "you don't need certificates" crowd. In the US, at least both Comcast and AT&T have a long and well-documented history of injecting advertisements into websites when the lack of a certificate lets them get away with it. Maybe you don't care about eavesdroppers, but you should care about a malicious network tampering with your content in-flight.
Graham's Hierarchy of Disagreement applies here. You couldn't refute the central point of something you disagreed with, so you resorted to sarcasm and mockery. Perhaps it would've helped if you had a proper counterargument based on facts and reason. Maybe you could have encouraged us to see things the way you do, but the comment you just wrote will only serve to nudge us to disagree more strongly with you.
Actually, It isn't BS. I'm working as a bookkeeper making 350USD. If I worked as a developer I would be making like 700-800 USD probably. That's the situation in Iran. A lot of people live a lot under that.
Why is saving grandma going to cost months of life expectancy to other people ?
The trolley problem is specifically about a situation that is ongoing regardless of your presence.

You're not running the train, nor own the railway, you didn't bind the people on the rails. You just happen to be there, and can perhaps improve the outcome.

In case the worst outcome happens because of your inaction, the biggest moral fault lies on those who created the situation in the first place.
(If you're looking at a bank robbery and don't push the alarm button, you have some moral responsibility, but the robbers are the villains.)

When you take action, you become part of the situation and take full responsibility of the outcome.

So, no, I don't think the choice are morally symetrical. Taking action is morally a high risk high return strategy, while inaction is low risk mild returns (best case is you did nothing and that was the right choice, so you could have been absent, it wouldn't have made a difference)

Rather than looking at titles, I would focus on what you want to do.

"Software dev" encompasses a wide variety of work. As a simplified example, if you were a senior frontend JS dev who wanted to get into writing kernel modules, you might have to take a job title and/or pay cut since you're less senior in that niche than your current one. But if you really want to be a kernel dev, it might be worthwhile.

So, what do you want to do? What kind of dev do you want to be? Will the new gig get you closer to that, regardless of title? Thinking beyond just tech stack to how you want this arc of your career to progress, will new job be better?

Also look at non-tech stack things. Do you like your team? Do you like your industry? Has your boss treated you well? Do you have equity opportunities at current or new gig? Which stack/niche has a higher ceiling of potential opportunity?
Thanks. I'll have to keep an eye on that.
>I wonder if the data correlates to recessions and/or inflation.

The FBI investigated this and found only a minor correlation.

Whereas there is a high correlation between financial crisis and depression. Including suicide which accounts for a very large proportion of gun violence. Which made the FBI discovery rather shocking.

Social media is also minor correlation, something like 17%.

I think the point discovered is that mass shootings are not statistical. They are microscopic in terms of homicide, Mass shootings accounted for under 0.2% of homicides in the U.S. between 2000 and 2016, which spans the dotcom bust and financial crisis. They aren't even close in terms of gun violence or even gun crime in general.
My 2 cents. Learn Java, SQL, Spring. Those technologies are in demand and they're not changing fast.
Wasn't that about an extreme benchmarking test which is continuously fully utilising CPU and GPU for an extended period, like 30min?

If I recall correctly, that would not influence my decision at all. I also do not select which car to get based on how far it gets with one charge if I load it with one ton of luggage, even if it were theoretically possible. I get the one which suits my needs best most of the time for a good price.
> I will learn a much better stack and new technologies.

Do this. Learn from the place with best practices, it has long term positive ramifications for your career well beyond the next job.
My argument isn't about the "level" of gun violence.

My argument is about the level of damage when gun violence occurs. It is clear to me that events, such as 2017 Las Vegas, or 2016 Orlando Nightclub, are more damaging due to the significant firepower that a lone gunman offers.

If the gunman in the 2016 or 2017 shootings had worse weapons (ie: a pistol), they would not have gotten as far as they did in terms of number killed. These shootings were marked by an incredible use of ammo in a short timeframe.

In the case of Las Vegas, they were taking pot-shots into the country music festival from a distance that outranged all the pistols that the country-music fans had. Furthermore, no one actually wanted to be confused with the gunman, so no one drew their weapon (killing the "good guy with a gun" argument for the billionth time).
Scraping blogs for content to steal and training language models to produce legit-seeming blog posts is hardly low-entry stuff, surely?
Access to weapons in the US is tighter than it ever has been. This stuff wasn't happening in the 50s-70s when mail-order catalogs sold rifles with zero background checks, and kids routinely brought them to school.
I don't think @dang will pin the above comment, but this needs to be higher here as the reply includes that they received a legal order. This is maligning the company unjustly.
> Also, from my own observations, in Europe "hipster" doesn't have a negative connotation, meaning simply "cool person"

Not really "cool person", more like "pretentious person".

I always understood it as "someone who is putting extra effort into finding obscure/novel things just to appear cool".
> Uh, what? Maybe in some parts, in Germany hipster is absolutely negative.

Is this a new thing? I remember explicitly telling my Berliner friend that hipster had a negative connotation where I came from. Maybe all those things I heard about Berlin not being Germany are true :P

Where I lived in Holland the term was similarly neutral. (Also I saw an ad in Dutch "hipster" where it meant panties or women's underwear?)

This would be about 10 years ago though
Apple is virtually the only consumer computer company that has had positive YoY computer growth every year in the past 20 years. Apple is selling way more iPhones, but the Mac has been gradually and steadily gaining growth.
Do you mean offsets (which don’t really do anything)? Because carbon capture is more expensive than that.
Some historical notes:

- A decade ago (2012), Facebook briefly had (but didn't sell) an htc Android smartphone that had posts on the lock screen. They might've also had an option in the Facebook app to do this in the android lock screen.

- In 2014, Joe Edelman wrote http://nxhx.org/Choicemaking/ with a demo of what an iphone lock screen could look like to honor 'time well spent'
Right now we keep our paid customer models' in memory. Models in free accounts are just evaluated every time (these models are usually much smaller).
For now we want to avoid the complexity of distributed systems and just run this on very powerful machines with lots of RAM.
For reference, one of our enterprise competitors has a calculation engine that can do 40B cells on a single host (using Java!).
Enough context is lacking. That's kind of what makes it all absurd. Take the cat vs. lobsters. Did you know felis catus is responsible for the extinction of some 37 species of birds world wide mostly due to colonization. They're not indigenous predators to the North Americas and enjoy the protections and long life afforded by their proximity to humans while killing for entertainment.

Lobsters on the other hand? Useful in their natural environments, have not become an invasive apex predator, could go on and feed many people too if properly managed and allowed to live their lives.

Yet the majority of people saved the cat thinking it's a "higher life form."

A bit absurd. Also the idea of trolleys without brakes and levers and cats that can't move off the track in the face of on-coming danger.
Your examples miss that autocracy is a form of government, not a single person ruling. An autocrat can be toppled and a new one take his place, the regime didn't change at all, only the individual at the top did.

An autocracy in which the autocrats turnover (not within the same family) is similar to a democracy will be as economically healthy as that democracy.

Matter of fact I'd say healthier because it takes balls and risktaking at the societal level to topple an autocrat every 3 or 4 years, it's the same risk-taking which would produce exceptional results in entrepreneurship and trade.

Creative destruction can't be limited to trade and entrepreneurship. It's either everywhere in the system or nowhere at all. Nothing says more 'creative destruction' than toppling an autocrat every 3 or 4 years, only to rally once again behind the new strongman which will be toppled himself in 3 or 4 years time
I also taught myself HTML around 95 or 96. I think I even used one of the books the OP mentioned and used Notepad to write my source.

I knew one dude who ran a local ISP and connected to it using a 14.4 baud modem (he might have ran the isp through his house). He also had a small web server where I can host my website.

I had all sorts of fancy stuff like marquees and blinking tags. I think I even used a table to lay out certain graphics and text. Those were good times.
PRs to correct these dependencies is a great idea, thanks for the tip!
I find it strange that there is so little innovation in the field of everyday tooth care. Particularly the inefficiency of brushing one tooth at a time. I like the idea of https://blizzbrush.com/, has anyone tried it? It's a bit suspicious that the single-pack is "sold out", but the 5 and 10-packs are not.
"Sane defaults" is a thing, but the sanity supporting the defaults changes every couple of decades.

E.g., re the GP's complaint about lack of CUA: CUA is an IBM effort to standardize a dozen shortcuts that are considered more or less universally useful.

But Emacs predates CUA by a couple of decades, and supports easy access to an insanely wider (two, three orders of magnitude) space of functionality.

If you want CUA, Notepad is 100% conformant.

Disclaimer: Yes I would adore a clean pure new Emacs, but given the dearth of Stallmans, the new Emacs would take even longer to not have CUA by default.
> I'd work for a non-profit or a university if I were you. Work/life balance is great.

I guess it depends, because I did not feel balanced at the University I worked at. Everyone was wildly stressed, taking on n+1 roles and responsibilities, and all of your work time was stolen by meetings and trying to get humans to manually do the bureaucracy between you and achieving your assigned tasks.
Managers need to stop giving people feedback on their personality
More realistic example: The contractors in charge of the dam cut corners to pocket some extra money, but they'll be dead before the dam breaks anyway so they move into the valley. Land developers paid off the government to open the land for construction despite it being unsafe. Bankers gave predatory loans to those who would not otherwise be able to afford a house in the valley. The public has been misled and everybody is under the assumption that their society has reached a new age of prosperity where everyone can now live in the valley. At the last minute, the politicians, bankers, dam contractors, and land developers use their private helicopters to leave the valley before the flood crashes down.
> At what point do you think taking a step back in seniority is worth it?

Job titles have different levels of inflation at different companies.

You mention that "seniority" comes in two flavors: More specialist, more responsibility.

You wouldn't be taking a step back in seniority either way, but you'd be choosing between growing in two different directions.

I currently work for a company where we choose to not differentiate job titles among developers, so I'm really just a developer. Still, it's the most challenging job I ever had, and it'll look cool on paper in spite of the lack of "ninja" in the title.

> I will likely make TL soon and get the same pay in the following months.

As @jstx says in another thread: Accepting a low-ball offer has bad psychology.

It sounds like the pay difference for their mid-level position isn't big enough.
> No, because apps will be moved to other stores with less strict guidelines on permissions.

This hasn't happened on Android so your argument falls flat.
Have to justify the Pro. Same in regard to the ram
Yes, and Foucault's pendulum is very literary research oriented (long expositions of guys surfing their zettelkasten), where Dan Brown's books are standard pop fiction action fare.

Every 15 years or so, we get a new, more popularly approachable entry in the "Templars/Illuminati are real" mystery thriller genre. We're about due another one, but I'll bet I missed it because it's in the Young Adult Fiction section.
This needs a variant with inversed level logic (i.e. where pulling the lever saves 1 but dooms 5). You know, to weed out the people who just like murder.
Also later, as an example I have a 2006 Opel (Vauxhall) Vectra C 1.9 TD, the engine (and well as the Saab 9-3 one) is a FIAT one, and they share quite a few "common" parts outside the engine with the Fiat Croma.
