>A software engineer is instrumental to how a company operates.

>If you are smart, educated, and have enough work ethic to get a job at Facebook as a software developer, you certainly have what it takes to work anywhere else.

There is a lot to Facebook, and a lot of various internal and external software that requires SWEs. You lament that people in OP's position "are failing us" because they're not doing more to speak out about FB's bullshit, and that they are better-positioned to get a job elsewhere, yet I have only seen you spout negative rhetoric towards OP and make zero effort to understand more.

You haven't bothered asking them what they worked on at FB, nor have you asked them why they are an ex FB engineer. You have no idea if they contributed to fucked up shit or if it's the fucked up shit that made them leave (isn't that departure what you want, after all?).

Your general sentiment isn't wholly incorrect, it's your determination to kick nuance to the curb and paint everyone with a broad, negative brush that is the issue.
Most people know that hot air rises. It's helpful to think of airflow in terms of energy (temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of air molecules).

Hotter air has more energy and thus will naturally "flow" towards cooler areas with less energy until equilibrium is reached.

In this example, the higher temperature air holds more moisture. That moisture will be carried along and dispersed towards the cooler wall, where it could condensate.
It helps out a bunch that there is a nuclear power plant outside of Phoenix and the Hoover dam in Vegas generating all kinds of carbon-free electricity to power the air conditioning.
The US should not be persecuting Julian Assange, but the Collateral Murder incident was clearly a case of mistaking civilians for combatants and carelessness, not willfull murder of non-combatants as in My Lai. The two cases aren't remotely comparable.

Population is something that as a Scot mystifies me. We have a population similar to Croatia, yet they’ve been an incredible force in international football while we have languished in mediocrity, missing out on most major tournaments in the last 30 years.

At a club level there’s no contest - our domestic leagues are usually ranked higher in the UEFA coefficient than Croatia’s and traditionally we’ve had greater success in Europe. We are at a slight disadvantage re our restricted ability to field emigre players (ie had Eduardo Da Silva signed for, say, Dundee United rather than Dynamo Zagreb he would not have been eligible for Scotland so easily) but I do not believe this has impacted us significantly. Though we are losing players to Ireland due to stupid self-inflicted eligibility rules at schools level - James McCarthy and Aiden McGeady opting to play for Ireland still saddens me to this day.

I've heard talk of poorer countries turning out better players because at a crucial age (14-18) when you're choosing to commit to professional football you're basically choosing between rolling the dice at a professional career in football, or a more realistic longer term career through learning a trade or heading to university. And in this situation, it could be that the risk/reward is higher in somewhere like Croatia, Brazil or Argentina. But this doesn't explain why other small high-income countries like Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Switzerland are routinely competing at a higher level than we are.

If I was a director at the Scottish Football Association I’d be closely studying what these countries are doing differently because there’s something we are desperately missing. I have my thoughts, but I'm just another armchair analyst with no power so it makes little sense to share them :)

It's true that modern nukes do not go off accidentally. But solid fueled rocket propellant in ICBMs can be pretty touchy and they have a shelf life.

Or the failure could be on the command and control side like what happened in 1983 [1]. Soviet early warning systems malfunctioned and reported multiple ICBM launches. The officer in charge basically decided to ignore it and single handedly prevented the end of human civilisation. This was at the height of the Cold War before the Russian army was drained of competence. I can't imagine those systems are working as well as they did back then.

>He stopped being right with his verbal abuse.

No. He did not stop being right about a mistake, and its reasonable remedy, by making an unrelated mistake himself. You might argue that the reasonable remedy to his abuse is also to receive a ban, but that is a different argument. It should also be logged as a separate disciplinary actions, not just because a petty Twitter employee got their nose tweaked by a frustrated user that had been mistreated with false accusations.

I'd say there's a broad acceptance in Sweden for the restrictive alcohol policy:

- age limit of 20 (18 in restaurants)

- state monopoly on sales of alcoholic beverages >3.5% ABV

- high taxes on alcoholic beverages

Of course, there's a lot of gray imports from the EU, and some home production (hembränning). These have probably taken the edge off political opposition to the monopoly.
Plenty of the victims of this are people who invested in Real Companies that guaranteed 3-4% returns, which is higher than bank interest rates but also lower than, and ostensibly lower risk than, the stock market.

For many of the victims of the crypto scams index and retirement funds are unavailable or apparently higher risk than what the cryptobros have been claiming crypto as.

These victims aren’t being greedy or playing stupid games, they were simply trying to do the best they could with what they had - and all the cryptobros have been saying for a few years now - apparently supported by markets surging (often through wash sales and other fraud).

Or there were the people who were explicitly and repeatedly told that their deposits were FDIC insured, only to discover that that was also a lie.

How would <include> be useful for dynamically updating the DOM based on data, which is the main point of Vue?
I don't know what you mean by "one-off task", of course you can save the commands you use most often. I think part of mastering vim is thinking about movements and commands in a more generalizable way, then macros are just second nature. Macros just make all the insane one-off editing tasks everyone runs into trivial.

This morning I needed to byteswap all the hex constants in several huge tables, I don't know if I've ever needed to do this before, and probably won't need to ever again. I did it in vim with a macro that took me seconds (something like qa2xlpj3hq1000@a).

Sure, this isn't for everyone, but one day you are going to want a minor variation on the operation your magic button performs... and I think you're going to have to take a swig of coffee and just sit there doing it manually!
The author is prevented from posting a cookie cutter video clip from a game, not even some kind of actual self-expression. That's not inhumane; it's a complete triviality. If you can't make the case for why Twitter is in the wrong without these competely absurd exaggerations about inhumane treatement and damaging humans, maybe you need to admit that you don't actually have a case.
For some reason people call pump and dumps Ponzis.
Or anything else for that matter, such as government forms, bank accounts, etc. The phone number doesn't have to be attached to a real device, it could be google voice or whatever else and you could expense it like a proper business expense, etc. In general it's a good idea to keep your business and personal accounts as seperate as possible. It's similar to the reason why you have separate business bank accounts, emails, domains, addresses, credit cards, etc.

Phone numbers are pretty much the super cookie anti-fraud ID of today. I don't consider them private anymore, but if your disciplined about keeping profiles separated it can definitely help scope the damage.
Stack Rank is bad is because mid to low performing developers will put a lot of effort to not get fired. That means they're not fully putting all their focus and effort on the company's goals.
Their views will focus on short term gain/success because they expect to eventually get fired. They'll try to get an accomplishment notch on their resume and preferring speed over quality and design. Hopefully their managers will see their accomplishments over the other brown nosing under performers and won't be around for the fallout of their low quality work.
That's only for the ones who have hope. The hopeless ones who knows they can't make it won't care about the quality of their work and would focus more on finding another job.

> People ask why financial markets produce things that are pointless...this is why, because the distribution of assets globally is not guided by the market in any way.

What do you mean? Wasn't "the distribution of assets globally" in this way guided by the market? The market wanted oil, so it sent vast quantities of money to the Saudis, who are the most effective producers.

I think this is more an illustration of how the market, left to its own logic, often does pointless or dysfunctional things.

I've been developing F# things on linux for close to a decade now (though my last official position doing so was ~7 years ago, it's just my default hobby language that I know best).

I have zero trouble developing on linux.

Building GUI or non-GUI software works fine.
I use Rider and work on web systems, a handful of scrapers that feed some data I collect, as well as various small GUI systems.

I think F# might have _the highest number of viable ways_ to build a GUI application if that's what you're looking for.

You can go the fable (F# -> JS transpiler) route and use any of the js tools (electron, nodegui, etc). The popular one's (react, preact, svelte, etc) have type definitions that folks have already written.

F# works with most of the dotnet gui libraries just fine, though I don't know for sure the story about winui, but from people I know working on production systems using it, they recommend to avoid it. So you've still got WPF, etc.

For the newer cross-plat stuff, there is Avalonia, Uno Platform, Xamarin (with the natives) or the newer version MAUI.

---

The thing here is that there aren't really limitations to almost all of the things I've listed above.
Transpilation targets work fine, as do the dotnet targets. Almost every one of these also has "Elmish" frameworks (Functional Reactive Programming state management) suited for the purpose:

* React -> Elmish + Feliz
* Avalonia -> Avalonia.FuncUI
* MAUI -> Fabulous
etc

---

I've never felt constrained building GUIs in F#, other than some of the dumpster fire that was Xamarin.Forms and the Xamarin build tools (native targets never gave me any problems that I can remember).

I took a partial Fabulous 1.0 (Xamarin Forms) application that I had only worked a couple days on, and out of anger with Xamarin build tools lifted and shifted to a react-native application. Almost my entire elmish (view-logic layer) was preserved, and I just had to change the view elements out from Xamarin.Forms elements to React Native elements.

---

I don't work with F# too much in an official capacity these days, but it's a decent tool to have as a default.

I think it is different. One thing is banning immediately all fertilizers and tell people "we just grow everything organic way, but you should figure out how... Now". And another thing is reducing their quantity so that farmers adapt by learning techniques to optimize the growth and (maybe) they'll start producing more compost to compensate deficit of 'classic' fertilizer
Non-purpose loans like SBLOC aren't allowed to be used to purchase or carry securities. I believe HELOC usually don't carry that restriction, so it would be legal. Probably a terrible idea, but legal.
This is great news.

That said, what the literal fuck -- we've previously been investing 1/850,000th of global GDP in one of 4-5 truly promising energy technologies while the world burns before our eyes?
The results on the "Weekly Number of Deaths by Age" dashboard are pretty clear - Covid had little impact on the death rates in the under-44 group. This is not surprising, as every country that records this data shows the same result.

(Separate replies, as I included both statements in a reply that then got flagged. Curious which one is offensive!)
Did anyone else misread it as “free time travel”?
The article doesn't seem to mention why exactly but I'm guessing it's some combination of 1) visible climate change (extreme heat, wildfires, drought, etc.) so people want better energy sources and 2) the mayhem Russia started seeing as it is one of the bigger energy providers.

Or has there been anything else?
You make good points but you forgot to factor in the 2 hours early that you need to show up at the airport. Getting on and off a train can take only minutes.

I've only ridden Amtrak once but I guess there are also security requirements that do take some time also (as opposed to most European countries).

I've also experienced lots of unexpected delays on flights whereas trains seem to be exceptionally on time (especially in a country like Germany). You're also assuming a direct flight also (though this is probably more related to cost which is another issue).

All in all, a coast to coast journey that takes 12 hours vs. 7 doesn't seem so bad if:

- I can spend maybe 8 of it sleeping in a bed
- The difference is 5 hours
- I can eat some real meals in a dining car
- I can walk around reasonably
More realistic as stopping wars and climate change are much harder. The war in Ukraine hasn’t ended despite the West’s efforts. And CO2 emissions continue on a large scale despite all warnings.
People live on transit, even where it is not free. I am curious how many more would live on transit, if it became free.
Is it just me or is no one addressing the most obvious disadvantage of this plan? Building a city along a "line" is simply a terrible idea. As far as I can tell, every major city in the world is based around a downtown "core" with less dense areas radiating outward from it, except where geographical barriers prohibit this. The advantages of this model are so manifold that I can't even begin to enumerate them—everything from (relatively) short commute times to equidistant access to central services from every direction. I cannot think of a single advantage of having a city that is a straight line.
They didn't file a police report, no, but this is absolutely the equivalent of verbally accusing someone of posting revenge porn.

If someone walked up to you and said "Your most-recent tweet is revenge porn and it's disgusting" and then reiterated that after double checking both the innocuous tweet and that they had the correct person, you would probably be claiming they incorrectly accused you of tweeting revenge porn (i.e. a crime). Because that's precisely what they just did. That Twitter is letting a machine they built do that for them does not remove their responsibility around the act, nor make it somehow not an accusation.

If anything it seems safe to claim that it's more than an accusation. They're acting on it, doling out (minor) punishment along with the accusation.
I like French TGVs better than our Swiss IC trains. Yes, we are a small country and perhaps we don’t need such fast trains as TGV… but aren’t they beautiful!
Printing is an art.

Consistent quality printing comes from working with a printer…from a relationship.

Otherwise you get what you sent because ordinarily printing is a commodity service, and a business survives on commercial work not the occasional amateur.

Which is to say that getting what you want requires knowing what you are doing, paying to learn by making lots of wrong prints, or paying someone enough to care (and enough to educate you).

The first option might be off the table based on your asking the question.

The second and third options are most likely available with your local print shops.

Knowing the first name of your of your printer is perhaps a minimum for getting consistent art prints.
Good luck.

Uhhh, the author did nothing wrong and broke no rules (and yet as pointed out rampant, violent hate speech lives without many problems on social media) . Someone getting slightly and innocently sassy after getting banned for posting a cat video is the problem the author is writing about. They're not trying to get a data with you or something.
This was my take away too. Looks great, but personally if I'm going to use this for a docs site, or for a wiki, or some sort of knowledge base, I'd really need to have an out of the box theme available. There are some there, but not enough variation for my liking. So rather than a quick win, this has to be put on the pile of "take a look and determine if I have time".

Not that it takes away from what looks like a great product, but that's the journey I went through, as a regular, overly-busy employee-startup founder, 14 hours into a Saturday. "I love it, but it's over my time-cost threshold if it needs custom themes".
Why would you assume meta? Genuine question. I see "meta" used a lot in gaming and I always assumed the etymology for that was like it became shorthand for "meta discussion" and then the intention of "meta" became less about general discussion and more about whatever strats are most effective/popular, thus "the meta". I have no idea if that's accurate. Do other communities say "the meta" like that? If it is just a gaming thing then I can see why climbing would have a different word given the respective ages of the activities.
Also a lot of the time they are they can be the same people. Just one set of targets for your day job, one set of targets for fun at the CTF. (and the ctf challenges are probably easier)!

I do see your point, you believe the air near the uninsulated wall will have even more moisture because it’s now the only cold wall out of 4 walls. So all the moisture goes there instead of being split in 4.

But a wall will stop condensating water when reaching a certain degree of humidity. So I’m not entirely convinced one can simply divide the amount of humidity in the air by the amount of uninsulated walls (or sqm).

I've been going through the first edition of Art of Intel x86 Assembly and there was a mention that DEC used octal numbers (PDP-11 uses octal) and a cross reference of the tar wiki page indicates that the first tar was written for Version 7 Unix, which was made for the PDP-11.

Gnu tar most likely inherited the octal system in order to retain compatibility with the original tar utility.
There are a lot of crawlers out there, and many of them are ill-behaved. When GoogleBot crawls your site, you get more visitors. When FizzBuzzBot/0.1.3 comes along, you’re more likely to get an overloaded server, weird URLs in your crash logs, spam, or any other manner of mess.

Small search engines getting blocked is just collateral damage from websites trying to solve this problem with a blunt ban-hammer.
We will never know where would have been if it wasn’t for the iron grip of the Christian church on western civilization for 1200+ years, but the secularization of society in the last 200 does indicate that we made rapid progress in medicine, human rights and science/technology when no longer were bound by the control structures of the church.

> abuse of the quantitative and the reduction to the binary are proof of this

I'd love to hear more about this, because it seems like they're just lacking in imagination.

And it seems they were attacking the tools instead of society itself, and it was bound to fail(which it did). It's like breaking a knight's sword in the middle ages, and thinking the knight will just go home and go to sleep without his sword. No, he'll just find some other way to kill you. Or repair his sword so it is even stronger than before.

I also extremely doubt the efficacy of their "timebombs"
