American political terminology is often weird because of the two-party system. It's better to consider the conservative – progressive, (economic) left – right, and collectivist – liberal (or libertarian) three independent axes. The position you describe would then be progressive right liberal.
Let's say that some country didn't have the Sharia in their tradition, and that a new social movement proposed to adopt it. By your definition, those opposing that proposed change should be defined "conservatives", even if, for example, they were opposing it to conserve women's rights in the country.
Well, if you do buy the PiBox, it supports two 2.5" SSDs, which should do you unless you need a LOT of backup. I've found Duplicati works quite well across mixed Windows/Linux backup scenarios, and it can also push your backups to cheap S3 compatible storage either locally or out on the Net.
MongoDB is used by enterprises all over the world. It's true that it's the easiest DB to get started with, and it's also true that in the distant past (pre 3.0, back in ~2015), they had some issues.

Because if you raise the price of your pickup $20,000 and Toyota doesn't then you're discouraging customers who see two similar vehicles with a significant difference in advertised price.

And if you try to work with the other companies to move prices up together, that's illegal. Same for airline tickets.
Some states prevent manufacturers from selling directly to consumers.

Are you integrating with an ecommerce APIs and encountering lots of confusing behavior? Poor documentation? Really slow developer support? At Highside we have run into these issues many times before -- we learned the gotchas, so you don't have to.

We've integrated with Amazon's Selling Partner API (I wrote the top PHP library for it [0]), Walmart's Marketplace APIs, eBay's old Trading API and newer REST APIs, Shopify's REST and GraphQL offerings, and more.

As a two-person shop, we are fast-moving, flexible, and can easily accommodate the inevitable scope changes that come with developing multi-marketplace solutions.

(While ecommerce APIs are our specialty, they're not all we do -- we have done everything from full-stack webapps to web3 projects to real-world lighting control systems.)

From the description of the second comic shown in the article:

> ... Dave threatens to report PHB (Pointy-Haired Boss) to the company’s HR department should he misgender the new engineer. It is then implied that Dave has switched preferred pronouns with the intent of catching cohorts in a trap rather than out of any true reflection of self.

There are at least a couple of things wrong with this, in my view. Do you interpret it differently?
People do switch clouds, but sure it's never trivial. https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2019/05/02/gitlab-journey-from... for example.
I've always enjoyed the underhanded C contest, but I don't think it's active anymore. Thanks for this. The 2022 entry that I saw was very much in the same spirit.
The Diff is easily one of the best value’s I get despite being >$200/year. I’m not sure how I’d rank it relative to Stratechery, I personally enjoy The Diff more but Stratechery is more relevant to my work and is also excellent. Byrne churns out an all-timer like this every other month or so, and his average posts still consistently include the best sentences I read of the day. It’s one of the only newsletters that, if I get behind on reading it, I make sure I catch up on every missed issue.
With all credit due to Google's excellent and under-appreciated paper Machine Learning: The High Interest Credit Card of Technical Debt [1], I submit that Big Data is the high interest home equity line of credit of business operations debt.

It's not that big data tools aren't useful. It's that, when you just start amassing huge piles of data without a clear up-front plan for how it will be used, and assume that a whole bunch of people who have never heard of sampling bias or multiple comparisons bias or Coase's Law [2] can figure out what to do with it later, you're setting yourself up for a Bad Time.

Continuous Profiling for Juju: Parca on Machines and Kubernetes
That's a good one :) At least he played it cool.
We have a selection of "go-to" recipes that we choose from every week, based on what we feel like. This is the compromise arrived to with my partner. How a recipe ends up on this list is one of us will try it out for a weekend dinner, and if it pleases both of us it's now part of the rotation. If I must, I modify a recipe to satisfy dietary wants (i.e. add more veg, swap some ingredients, etc). It's easier to find a solid, delicious recipe and play around with it, than to find one that hits specific dietary metrics and is also delicious to boot.

Most significantly, we plan for leftovers, such that a recipe covers at least 2 dinners. This way we can get through a working week only cooking twice. Disclaimer: this is more difficult if you're preparing for a family rather than two. At any rate, the advantage is we can sink in time for a more elaborate meal without it feeling like a slog. If we cooked every night, it would just be "sheet-pan, sheet-pan, stir-fry, casserole, dump your spice rack into it and hope for the best".

I use a recipe app, but the only value added I'm detecting from your request is copy-pasting ingredients from several recipes into one list. That's just text you already have.
Oncall Compensation
Quantstamp said it was exploitable. Nomad falsely claimed it wasn’t.
The particular attack is very specific and not really relevant to the implication of the last line in this comment.

"One unexpected facet of the attack is that it uses genus 2 curves to attack elliptic curves (which are genus 1 curves). A connection between the two types of curves is quite unexpected. To give an example illustrating what I mean, for decades people have been trying to attack regular elliptic curve cryptography, including some who have tried using approaches based on genus 2 curves. None of these attempts has succeeded. So for this attempt to succeed in the realm of isogenies is an unexpected development."

Aggregate sums on real wages are going to be weighted heavily towards the most highly compensated workers.
It should, perhaps, tell you something that a community with one of the most highly concentrated populations of technically literate people on the internet are so vehemently against a technology.

Crypto is just a paperclip maximizer for silicon and electrons that does what traditional companies have been doing for at least 60 years. Only 100000x less efficiently.
Adams has been like that for years. If anyone remembers the DNRC period[0], it was full of really nasty stuff.

I do not consider him to be a nice person, but I have enjoyed Dilbert, quite a bit.

These days, I don't really follow Dilbert, anymore. Adams just got so bad, that I couldn't follow Dilbert, without thinking about his creator.

companies are big on culture fit because of wanting people happy with being forced to spend their waking hours in those conditions inflexibly
Hmm, I don't think that answers the question. See https://www.nyujlb.org/single-post/2017/11/27/high-frequency... (which is EU-specific). I think https://www.cnbc.com/2014/04/03/high-frequency-traders-cant-... is suggesting that this is similarly legal in the US.

Again, not an expert.
The CCP is embarrassing themselves, making threats they're to scared to carry through with, hoping the threat alone will be enough. Nancy Pelosi is flaunting those threats, showing the world that Xi Jinping has no clothes.
I don't think there's much to see here because I suspect we aren't seeing the total picture. When it's suspected fraud, it's not smart to give out details on the suspension.

What's odd in this post is that he goes into detail on what steps he did. Too much detail on something that's irrelevant.

So I'm not making any assumptions about OP or Oracle.
You'll have witnessed history unfold in front of your very own eyes.

You'll know the difference between what the history books will claim 20 years from now and the public debate shift based on that, and what you've actually witnessed.

Granted, you are (likely) not actually on the ground where the tanks and rockets and soldiers meet, but you are another layer or two closer to being a witness of history. Which you are not if you ignore it.

Not quite. If you pass the hiring committee, you have one year to find a team. So it's more like your interview result is good for a year. After you match with a team you get the actual offer and it has the usual deadlines.

Hiring processed has changed though, so I'm not sure if this is still true.

> I don't know where you're citing some of this stuff, but some sources might be nice.

Sex industry is an example. They are frequently cut off by banks and payment processors even when their works feature no actual humans whatsoever. Every now and then I see a thread here about something like that. If I remember correctly, Patreon had trouble with money flow at some point and threatened to censor content.

> As a platform runner, you are responsible for the data that you host. You can't just make a social media site, have a bunch of people post gore on it, and then tell the judge "but they did it, not me!". They're going to chuckle, force you to testify that you stored the illegal content on your own server, and then lock you up for as long as they'd like.

That makes no sense to me. Aren't there safe harbor laws which exempt you from the consequences of your user's actions if you comply with law enforcement? Someone shares a malware github here on HN and the whole site gets prosecuted?

And since when is gore illegal? Obviously if someone creates a snuff film that person will be investigated and hopefully prosecuted for murder, but I don't think it's actually illegal to view that stuff. I remember discussions about sites literally dedicated to gore on this very site around the time liveleak shut down.

If anything, that's yet another example of private corporations legislating morality. Advertisers will cut you off if they think you're offensive. I remember several cases of web sites self-censoring after Google pulled their ads.

> Even 4chan needs moderators, or else they too would get shut down.

4chan complies with law enforcement. I've read transcripts of the former administrator testifying in court. As far as I know, it was never held directly responsible for anything its users did there.
I agree that "no" is not equivalent to "zero".

Your example ("No. I have no bread"), however, uses "no" in two different ways.
The first is negation and the second represent the null/empty set ("no bread"). And the empty set is not the same as zero.
Not just that but if somebody bad were to happen they can hardfork like they did in the past ...

To Cut Plastic Waste Out of Your Life, Start Small
In a lot of industries the dealership/distributor model smooths out cashflow and inventory. You build a bunch of something, the distributors buy it from you off the dock (or, sometimes, they even pay in advance) and then the distributor sits on the inventory while it sells. It's off of the manufacturer's books and there is cash in hand to buy more supplies.

Ford's switchover makes sense if their factories are running 100% flat-out and every car has a waiting customer. Or if it's all made-to-order and the queue is full.

What happens if demand drops off? Is Ford going to stack up cars in Dearborn or will they just randomly shut down plants to take up slack? Will you need to prepay for a car so they have the money to make it?

How do you come to that conclusion? The field of politics has to find answers for many different question: e.g. fiscal conservatism vs. more debt-based spending, gay-marriage vs. no gay-marriage. Why do you consider it insane to agree with one party on one topic and with another party on another topic? Requiring full commitment to one true party line seems to be the insane position to me.
I can't sign off on any cryptocurrency being a "good project" unless I can easily exchange it for goods and services. I haven't found a single cryptocurrency that qualifies, including monero.
This might be a non-sequitur, but does anyone know why so many car dealerships are named after individuals? I assume it's a marketing gimmick and the answer might be as simple as that.
Ford dealer wouldn't let me test drive a Fiesta ST. A fiesta... When the Focus RS dropped the dealers tacked on so much bullshit ADM it sank that car. Every new cool mustang? Forget about it. The Bronco? Get the lube out. Raptor? lol you better know the dealer's owner to get close to MSRP. It's a joke out there. Even my Honda Accord I bought last year, I had to call around and see which dealers weren't doing markups, on Accords... The one dealer had a 20k ADM on the two Civic Type Rs they had in the show room. Dealers used to be annoying, now they are straight up highway robbery.
Dealer franchise agreements with the manufacturer also frequently include provisions that prevent the manufacturers from selling direct to consumer IIRC.
I don’t know how objective your definition can be. Is Brainfuck high or low-level? It is quite similar to how a very primitive CPU operates, yet it is quite far from the actual CPU.

A more objective definition could be what is available to the programmer to control. Here, assembly is on the lowest level, C/C++/Rust on a higher one (with the difference in them being expressivity), and Js, Java, Haskell being even higher. In theory, you can do everything in a lower level language than what is possible in a higher level one, so you get an easy Litmus test to decide (and thus C++ and Rust are actually lower level than C, because they have language-level simd support)

> Hostile, unpredictable, militaristic country, ran by a wanna-be dictator, committed to an active invasion of another country's sovereign territory.

Just imagine living in America in 2003 with 9/11 fresh on everyone's minds. Were you there? Do you remember the mindset of adult Americans in 2003? What did the US military do in 2003? What did the average CNN-watching American feel and want? I remember well. We wanted to bulldoze Saddam Hussein and his "Axis of Evil" because terrorism. We wanted to raze Iraq to the ground as revenge for "harboring terrorism" and "WMDs" which were about to be unleashed upon our friends. Americans were in a complete frenzy, psychosis, and out for blood. Do you remember? I remember soldiers wanting nothing more than to "take out those stupid rag heads." Did the occupation ever end? Did Iraq have anything to do with 9/11? Did anyone suffer the consequences of the invasions back in America besides the Americans killed overseas? Do you think Russians are not actively being brainwashed by their government to support a war like the Americans were for their wars? Think again. The media is more powerful than ANY WMD because it perpetually and incessantly corrupts the minds of its viewers.
There are a lot of universities doing functional programming in either Haskell or OCaml as part of their curriculum right now, so I don't know if that's really the reason.
My first real job was at a resort -- they gave me a two day training, mostly in customer service. One acronym stood out to me, and has stuck with me for the past 20 years. I'm not quite sure I have it right, but it was: HEART. Hear, empathize, acknowledge, respond, thank.

In general, a message from a customer is a gift. They may be upset, angry, etc -- but they're giving you a chance, by opening a door to communication. The first thing is to listen, and to understand their perspective. (Hear and empathize.) The second is to acknowledge their concerns. People want to know their concerns are understood. The third task is respond to their concerns. Are you able to address them? If so, let them know what steps you're taking. Finally, always thank people for reaching out.

In terms of the personal side of things; it feels like a personal attack because you care. That's a good thing. On the flip side, it's important to understand that most customers are not at all thinking about you -- they're thinking about their own (often misguided) perspective.

Understanding their perspective can be challenging. You can, and should, make your interactions about them, and not about you. If it feels like a personal attack, then you're likely not seeing things the way they're seeing things. This is a sign that you should focus more on their perspective.

In general, my email format, in terms of responding to customers, is as follows:

> Thank you for getting in touch

> I'm happy to help with [their concern]

> I understand the issue is [the problem they're facing]

> Here's the first thing you can do to solve the issue [propose solution]

> (If there's no solution, give some context, and explain why there is no solution, and let them know you'll take it into consideration for the future)

> Thank you for getting in touch.

> Let me know if you have any questions, or need further assistance. I'm happy to help.

Trust me, I'm not saying I've walked any miles in your shoes. I have relatives who have been disabled. I also have relatives who have taken many pills, and I have no doubt that many are necessary. As an American who grew up partly abroad, I have a desire to see increased relational commitment and support and believe that for many people, so many pills would not be necessary. I don't know you, I mean you no offense, and I don't believe I'm talking about someone in your situation. Based on news reports for the past several years, it's no secret that there are too many pills in the USA that are often being given to people who probably don't need them, and instead need something else. Medicate first and actually deal with it later (or never deal with the underlying problem) is not always the best course of action for many people.
