> I wouldn't ascribe to malice what can be more easily be ascribed to incompetence

While I usually agree with the sentiment, it's hard to believe that one of the most successful companies in the world can be subject to such levels of incompetence on one of their flagship products.

I understand your phrasing, but your reply doesn't hint at any empathy here.
Hi there!

I'm sorry to see Iran undergo hardship. I love Iranian hospitality and literature. I plan to learn the language someday. I wish you all the best.

To answer your questions,

1. Yes, definitely. Especially in one of the countries you mentioned + Canada. I'd work for a non-profit or a university if I were you. Work/life balance is great.

2. Yes, you can have a life. Just don't do JavaScript. Go for a slow-paced field. Find a mature and boring tech and learn it. COBOL sounds good.

3. Probably. But your success depends on your emigration.

4. From the work/life balance point-of-view, COBOL sounds good. But finding a job is another question. If you think you can find a job, go for it. Otherwise learn a popular but mature language/ecosystem.

5. In your situation, I'd migrate first, get a degree in CS, and work part-time as a developer in the meanwhile. In the long run, this will be rewarding financially.

6. Go for it. You don't have kids. Things would have been difficult with kids.
It's the exchange rate I'd bet. $1 is around 0.98€ right now
The main difference between action and inaction is that with inaction it's much less likely the other monkeys will conclude you are dangerous and should be killed (because they're not any worse off by your inaction, almost by definition).
Be sure to scroll the article down to the responses, for an excellent comment of an actual seismologist who appears to be mildly irritated by the usual scientific news cycle.
It's funny how everyone has their own take on what the "real" problem is that seems to absolve their own "side" of any responsibility. And, I'll grant that this is a real issue and that there's too much media coverage of these things, focusing too much on the personalities of the criminals. But that said...

Mass murderers have been famous throughout history (by at least one reasonable definition, most of "history" is defined as a list of who killed who). But in 1962 the most effective weapon you could find to perform one was a bolt action hunting rifle, breech loading shotgun, or plausibly a six-shot revolver that took 90+ seconds to reload. Now you run to the corner store and get equipment that can deliver a hundred rounds in a minute. Arguing that this simple issue of equipment technology and availability is not at least part of the problem seems ridiculous on its face.
I understand your critique, but the phrasing doesn’t hint at a great attitude here.
> So maybe I should be writing "Apple has stopped ordering the 128 GB chips and removed them from all current designs".

Is there some reason to assume that Apple isn't just facing the supply chain issues that have been plaguing the other laptop makers?
My biggest problem with most of these libraries is the complete lack of care for efficiency, and some packages use more of these functions than builtins. eg. -map is identical to mapcar (a C primitive), but instead of defining it as a defalias, its defined as a defun that just calls mapcar on its args. Function calls, especially of bytecode, are very slow, so now instead of just a single primitive funcall, there's a second bytecode funcall that does nothing. this is done in a lot of places in dash and especially in s.el. plus, while the compiler will warn when mapcar is called for effect and advise using mapc, it doesn't know about -map, and ive seen it called for effect a lot.

"Victims used a firearm to threaten or attack the offender in 2% (166,900) of all nonfatal violent victimizations"

That's from 2014 to 2018, so divide by 4 for a yearly number. Either way tens of thousands of people successfully defend themselves with a firearm every year. I'd wager they'd argue our "barbaric" policies have some benefits.
"2 generations" sounds a lot more dramatic than "2 years" (and it's not even 2 years yet, the first M1 Macs were released in November)
I don't blame you. That "pinnacle" of hardware design is an Apple poop-bomb.

I have one with 32GB that was provided by my employer. It is bad. I hate using it. The keyboard on it is bad, the performance is bad, and the glitchiness is deeply frustrating.

I loved my 2015 Macbook Pro 15" that it replaced and wondered why I thought it would be any better.

My M1 Macbook Pro 16 is a joy to me.

My mental framing of situations like this is "One shouldn't play god. If expecting to be faced with choices about life and death, one should prepare. Get very, very good at the god job."

We humans have outsized impact on the world around us. Often, we don't get the luxury of no-choice. Not if we want to survive ourselves.

> There wasn’t a mass shooting epidemic before 1994

Erm... the 1980s? You know, the time period that led to the 1994 ban on guns? Absolutely huge spike in gun violence and homicides.

> You are demonstrating a fantastic ignorance and ought to recuse yourself from this debate until you’ve rectified that.

There's no point in you having such a weapon. And yes, I'm willing to call you ignorant and backwards for arming yourself with such a powerful weapon.

You ain't gonna be walking around town with a long gun. Your only hope for self defense in a typical "on the town" situation is a pistol / side arm.

If a mass shooting occurs, you aren't going to run to your car and get the long gun. Why? Because you know just as well as I do that everyone else will shoot the first person they see with a long gun. (See Las Vegas shooting: everyone had guns, no one wanted to take it out because they didn't want to get confused as the mass shooter).
Licensing is the key point: a filter so any rando can't get a firearm by, e.g., just buying an engagement ring wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing:

Just teaching ACTS and PROVE would probably help reduce a lot of needless carnage.

Yes. But much higher than most other developed countries. Without a crazy high number of shootings, probably because there are fewer 'Rambos' walking around packin' heat, lighting off:

Supposedly it's Quebecers themselves who want reglious symbols out of the public sphere. Not immigrants or outsiders. Crosses and Christmas trees are reglious symbols, sure there is some "history and culture" there but there is also "history and culture" in Confederate monuments and places named after them. If Quebecers are serious about removing religious symbols in the public sphere they should take steps to actually do so. It's picking and choosing what religious symbols to have around.
If data is so important why is it so difficult to access?

I would say that the ability to spray bullets in front of several people, makes them deadlier.

The Las Vegas massacre wouldn't have happened if it weren't for it.
Iran isn't connected to the world banking system, only way they can tap into the world economy is through crypto and many centralized services and wallets have blocked Iranian artist/dev wallets on known platforms.

It remind like every parents' lesson of: if everyone's jumping off a bridge, should you too? And as stewards of OSS, we should shepard users into these FOSS platforms.

Instead, you bifurcated your community that is passionate about FOSS and privacy from those that aren't.
During the time that "ban" was in place, you could still walk into any gun shop and buy an AK-47 for a couple hundred dollars. The only difference that actually trickled down was a new one would have a thumbhole stock and no flash suppressor, neither of which would have any relevance to a mass shooting.
I find it funny that so many people of other countries have something to say on the matter. You don't understand the U.S. culture, and you probably never will.

I will not concede on red flag laws that prop up false accusation. That's like having a backdoor in your encryption, willingly. And I know how 95% of the people on this site feel about that.

I will not concede on increasing the age to own firearms. There is no other right in our bill of rights that is only given in full well after legal adulthood has been reached. "You're allowed free speech, but only once your mind has developed enough to where you don't say as many stupid things." Sounds terrible to me.

I will not concede on banning certain types of firearms, nor firearm accessories, as the primary point of the 2nd Amendment was to be able to overthrow our own government if it became necessary.

"Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." ~ Benjamin Franklin

"That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government (...) it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security." ~ Thomas Jefferson

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies." ~ George Washington

The government will not abolish itself. It will go kicking and screaming. Jefferson probably wasn't talking about peacefully abolishing an entire government. You're being disingenuous if you think so. Washington wasn't talking about the Federal army having sole monopoly over the military supply manufactories, otherwise how would a militia function to keep a rogue military and Federal government in check? They wouldn't.

There is a problem with violence in America today. I'm not disputing that. The solution is not to ban certain firearms. Or to raise the legal age. Or to ban all firearms. Or to require the government's permission before obtaining a firearm. We need to take unnecessary government spending and put some of it towards training people to be comfortable with firearms, and to respect them. We need to fix society to understand the importance and beauty of life. We need to promote having fathers in the home to teach these kids how to behave.

I support fixing the mental health and societal problem. But when it comes to "gun laws", you can "come and take them."
Excellent site - thank you!

Perhaps it is the way we think about the internet that has also changed...

Back in the day, when I wanted to find something on the internet, I knew I was going to have to dig and search and explore. My mind expected this experience.

Since web 2.0, my mind doesn't work the same way.
If that's unpalatable, what about have you donated one of your kidneys yet? You can live a healthy life with just one. If you truly believe you would sacrifice yourself in this trolley scenario, I don't think it is possible to justify not having done something where (excepting the slight risk of more serious consequences) the only sacrifice is time.
"If I take take (incorrect) parking requirements from a different city and apply them to NYC it's crazy!"

Sorry but this is one of the worst forms of "Twitter journalism". In a later tweet he says:

> Some people are saying that Downtown Louisville has removed its parking minimums, which may be true but I used this site that helps me amalgamate parking requirements for each major city in America: https://munistandards.com/ky/louisville/parking-requirements...

Oh, no big deal, just "some people" but don't worry he used a random website to backup his claims so it's all good. The doubling down and defending your stance because you used bad data... I can't even.

None of this is to say there aren't stupid parking/pro-car policies in many cities including Louisville but this is one of the top reasons I hate twitter.

God I hate articles like this. If you want to make a myspace clone, then make one. No-one is stopping you.

The problem is that people didn't like MySpace. It looked like crap and giving people that level of control made them feel bad. Only a few fearless kids actually made the gloriously crappy content you admire.

The other problem is that the Internet is well-settled terrain now, and users have many many options about where to hang their hat(s) and what they do there. Try convincing a Medium author that HTML is a good authoring tool.

This article is the Internet version of "good old days" nostalgia, which is, ironically, retrograde and horrifying. One important exception: if the internet ever deprecates the tools needed to make another myspace (http 1.1, html, css, available ip addresses, ability to host a durable process) then you'd have my full-throated support. And of course you're allowed to like old things that failed because of market pressure. Just don't fool yourself that the world is worse because the thing you like fell out of fashion. As much as I hate to admit it, the world is better off without coin-op arcades.
Given its previous history of breaking and slowing connectivity in favor of harder blocking of government-critical sites, I'd say they should've done it way before this. The routes through their nets remind me a black hole.
I'd be wary of this, until we get to the bottom of the reported thermal throttling issues with the Macbook Pro M2. That at least is actively cooled. This isn't.
Yeah, I would think that just having the user explicitly choose their search engine at the start should suffice (thus having no problematic default option). I think DDG's fear is that most users will just choose Google because everyone wants to get through onboarding ASAP, and their assumption is that users will be more likely to choose a more privacy-conscious option in the future.
Same here. Works quite nicely to have tempers cool down as people dis/reconnect and lose history.
So... this is pretty hilarious.

First of all, you picked an arbitrary four kids to pad out your numbers, but... if each kid costs $1,500 plus a month for childcare, it'd cost $6,000 a month, or $72,000 just for childcare. I get a few thousand of that back as a tax writeoff, but... it's not going to break even. So thanks for the $16,600... by your math I'm still over $50,000 in the hole. I make plenty more than $50k a year, but there's also, you know, rent... food... did you know the cost of natural gas has tripled this year? In the winter it's $400 a month to stave off hypothermia.

Second, the child tax credit is... not free money. It's a credit on my taxes, and it's also not new. The only thing that really changed with the child tax credit is that the government allows you to collect it monthly instead of all at once during tax season. Which really just changes the formula between getting a big refund and getting tiny chunks of refund throughout the year. And bear in mind, you have to be bringing in that much taxable income in the first place to actually get anything back.

I'm guessing you don't have kids, or you'd have some idea how the math works out on these. But having kids is... not affordable... in the current economy, even if you're making a solid non-Silicon Valley tech salary. The idea that anyone would pay $70 to fill their gas tank, to spend nearly $100 a day on childcare, to do some restaurant job paying $10 an hour is absolutely laughable.

Battery electric buses require batteries, which may be flexible, but are also expensive.

I don't see existing trams and light rail disappearing soon. Not in cities that have well-functioning networks, like Amsterdam. But I can imagine that for new projects, electric buses are preferable.

I think we're getting faster at iterating on bringing up dev environments.

Silverblue is my favorite, but it's becoming common for me to develop everything within a docker image. As quickly as we're committing to a project, we're updating the env and rebuilding that image at the same time? I'm new to this.

Perhaps i'm missing it; I don't see any discussion of "flow". My uneducated definition is based on flow though the water body: a "pond" is mostly static, with no outflow, and a "lake" has as much outflow as inflow most of the time.

I spent a few years building ponds and lakes and levees and dikes and such in association with people who had spent entire careers doing so. That was the "common wisdom" opinion.

There's been considerable legal fuss over the question of "how wet does land have to be, for how long, to be 'waters of the United States' for the purposes of regulation."
Even though Volkswagen (VW) owns cars like Porsche and others, it should be mentioned that Porsche SE controls and owns majority in VW.
I think your use of "consultant" is less correct but closer to the common perception. Consultants that deliver measurable KPIs and not just heaps or documents are less common.

I'm an uncommon type of consultant, but definitely not a development agency or software freelancer. I help my clients build things, but I don't usually build things for my clients, as that would be too expensive for them.
I don't control the message frequency or member timezone/presence of existing channels that I didn't create in the first place.

Incoherent response. tonymet (OP) protested that it was a “complicated topic”, not that economics itself is bunk. In fact saying that it is a complicated topic implies that one should respect the field.

You can’t arbitrarily denigrate one side of the argument because economics is a religion when both sides take it as a given that economics is a rational field of study.

> No, you are morally responsible for every evil happening right in front of you that you could immediately change with little risk to yourself.

The problem with this is that you snuck a quantitative difference there and made it sound qualitative. How much risk is "little risk"? What if you could spend all your money and save N people from starvation? There's no risk to you, so are you responsible for their deaths if you don't do it?

What if the child is a bit less likely to pull you under? What if even less than that? Where do you draw the line?
