I'm a big fan of two-panel file managers, starting with the ancestor of them all, Norton Commander under DOS. Under Windows, I used Total Commander. I even started developing an NC clone myself with Delphi, but only got as far as an "alpha version". After switching to Linux, I used Krusader for a few years, but then discovered and switched to Double Commander. Since it is developed with Lazarus/FreePascal, maybe I will be able to apply some of the ideas I had for my Delphi NC clone to it (if I can find the time and sympathy from the maintainers)?
Just remember that many popular stacks are due to marketing; often the marketing pushes you in ways that are highly profitable for whoever sells you the stack. Unfortunately, if you follow their instructions to the T, you will spend more money, and may make architectural mistakes that hold you back.

(IE, be careful before you drink the kool-aide on "cloud" or whatever comes next.)

Also, many blog posts are by people trying to make themselves feel important, pad their resumes, or otherwise self-promote. Tone management in a blog post can make an awful architecture sound wonderful. Other wonderful architectures may be the wrong fit for what you're trying to do.

Finally: Avoid many layers of abstraction. It just adds unneeded complexity to your code and makes it too hard to onboard new hires. Carefully review all 3rd party libraries before you commit to using them. Sometimes introducing a 3rd party library to "save an hour today" will quickly "burn a day, week, or month" later.
2FA should not be a requirement.

If you want to enable 2FA, Do one of the following
- upload the front and back of your ID
- UBI Key or other hardware Cert,
- etc. etc.

2FA by phone is a flawed architecture due to being subject to change. Sim-swaps are a known vulnerability.

But mainly, do not force me to have 2FA.
I agree. Unless it’s a cooperative or not-for-profit. Corporations only know one ethical guideline:
break law if (possibility of a fine) * (fine amount) < (revenue through rule violation)

Why should people act differently?
But that implies negative numbers which is difficult for young audiences.
Early in my career I took a lot of pride in how much work I could take on. It made me feel important.

Ended up putting me in the hospital.

Aye- plus I don't know how we'd handle the military and keep established national boarders. It's mostly a pipe dream of mine.

Realistically we'll just continue to limp along, a zombiefied husk of what our country was meant to be, until the banks and tech elite have bled us dry.

Then we'll likely just implode. Tis the fate of many an empire.
with the exception of Iraq, afghanistan, korea, cuba, and vietnam at no real point in these battles was our technological sophistication or "firepower" a decisive capability that led to a victory.

I'd say this makes a strong case that the US is exceptional at state to state warfare but struggles with prolonged counter-insurgencies, "nation building" and covert ops. All but Cuba had their acting governments' conventional forces beat down fairly effectively with little ability to inflict major damage on US forces.
Absolutely. Also, higher education.
Remote worker says they got reprimanded for using ‘mouse jiggler’ app
I mean, in a basic sense, if you choose to live so far away from your job that there only exists one possible transport mechanism, then yes, you are dependent on that one transport mechanism.

If e.g. a city metro ramped prices then many people in outer zones would have the choice to either pay it, move job, or cycle/walk in.

If they bought a house next to a station with no other good transport links and no local work, well, it's not as if that wasn't known...
Courts, not amendments, best route for constitutional reform
Yes, most post-docs exist for the purpose of getting cheap, highly trained and specific expertise in a way that does not threaten the hierarchy of authority and prestige. Like medical internships, they institutionalize exploitative labor practice, but are even worse, because unlike internships, where physicians at least do learn skills and the reality of how medicine is practiced, they are almost purely for the purpose of augmenting the master's portfolio of work.
Exactly this, hit the nail on the head. If anyone thinks this isn't all happening because US mid-terms are coming up, they are delusional or lying to themselves.
Schools have always been a constitutional red zone. Unwarranted searches, surveillance, seizures, and prior restraint. The claim is that they are in loco parentis of the children and have nearly unlimited power over the kids unless they have parents that will advocate for them. Children's rights have always been a very contentious topic.
Would a hybrid key-value & document store, indices on any user defined path, with optional strong consistency DWYW?
On a technical level yes. Recessions are almost always at least the previous admins fault, often times the last two or three admins fault. (Or sometimes it’s the fault of no administration at all. You can argue that Covid+Russian war were just outside factors to the US that would have left us in a recession even with ideal handleing)

Politically it matters because, generaly speaking, people will blame the current admin anyway and vote against them for us being in a recession.
> then 20% are "democrats" who want the US to have the basic things that Europe has, like social healthcare and so on.

Here’s the 2020 Democratic party platform [1]. Social healthcare is not on that list—the party supports a public insurance option. I don’t see anything else on the list that “Europe” has—maybe immigration/criminal justice reform?

Are they though? Who is "us"? Bored teens? Amateur content creators creating out of passion? Aspiring youtube stars, or someone else?
Was the platform poisoned as soon as people figured out how to make even a single cent off of it, or after? I remember when people complained about crappy partner networks like machinima a decade ago.

Didn't this commercialization and dream exploitation happen to every other new medium before youtube? Was this outcome inevitable, as how water rushes to be level when it lands in a puddle? People tend to move pretty quickly to optimize profit sources, after all.

I am currently subscribed to a channel where a guy is painstakingly figuring out how to reliably mill and produce balisong-style folding scissors in a commercial capacity. He posts long videos without promotion on his schedule, because he's interested in documenting the process. It's fascinating, and completely divorced from algorithm appeasement. In spite of this, he has 80k subscribers. Some people are still doing it for fun. I think it's about being very picky with who you follow at the end of the day, as with most things, I suppose.

Just wanted to point out that Wheel of Time is one of Amazon’s most popular shows ever and Rings of Power isn’t out yet. Struck me as an odd comparison.
I believe that what you say is correct when you use RTEMS with one of the existing BSPs, with no changes.

Because RTEMS is open-source and also because its internal structure is many orders of magnitude easier to understand than that of something like Linux, or even of some *BSD, extreme customization can be done with relatively modest work.

When you do not need them, it is easy to remove completely the implementations of many parts of the API and of many classes of kernel objects, to obtain a much leaner RTOS kernel.

Any causes of jitter from the kernel or device drivers (if they occur in higher priority tasks, as the lower priority tasks should not be able to interfere) should be relatively easy to identify and patch.

I have used once RTEMS for an application with many channels of synchronous multiplexed telephony, with very tough jitter requirements, and there have been no problems, but it was not RTEMS out-of-the-box, it was customized for the application, i.e. with about half of the kernel removed, a new interrupt handler added, and with custom device drivers.

I like to joke that I've got enough work on my plate currently to last until 2024, which is an exaggeration but not terribly far off. However, I set my own timelines for everything. I will not be rushed, and I will not work more than 40 hours per week.

I've also been doing this for a long time, and don't work at a startup. So I realize that not everyone has the flexibility that I do, but it is vital to me. I do not and will not live to work.

No disagreement from me - I think digital goods lay bare the dirty secret that "ownership" is a social norm, not any sort of real truth.

I also think that digital goods remove any sort of "harm" that can be reasonably expressed from having your sole ownership removed.

If you own a digital book, and I copy it - you are not deprived of your digital book. We both now own it.

It seems to me that a robust model based around funding the creation of new work, rather than the sale of work, is a much more efficient and ethical solution than any sort of government enforced IP.
In what country? In the UK I've never been forced (or even encouraged) to install the banking app. Which is lucky, becuase I'd sooner switch bank.
This is all great, but I particularly liked the tip here on using Python Fraction objects for screen positioning calculations where floating point errors could result in a whole extra character causing display bugs.
Things are drastically different now. Bought a 1 year old car for cash last year after an accident totaled my old car. Dealerships have no/low inventory. We had cars sold when we were on the way to the dealership to test drive them. Any negotiation was laughed at.

Absolutely brutal.

The blockchain solves a big problem for distributers: it makes DRM attractive. I don't necessarily see the case for textbooks catching on with consumers easily, but in other industries, like film, having the NFT "collectible" version of the item is attractive to some consumers. Of course the DRM protections could likely be trivially bypassed, but consumers could more easily make back a return on their original purchase after they're done with an item, and for collectibles, could display these purchases for others to see. This incentivizes the consumer to desire the DRM-protected item over the off chain asset. The film industry has already begun to explore this with distribution platforms such as https://vuele.io . Definitely not in support of it, but it seems a logical way for blockchain tech to be adopted into these industries.

Flow batteries charge the battery fluid and store the charged fluid in a large tank insolution. It is pumped through the discharge electrodes and the charge drives the load. Depleted fluid goes to a used fluid tank. To charge it is pumped back through the same electrodes = charged = into the charged tank. They suit large stationary uses. The power density is low = limited by the solubility in the transport fluid and the nature of the 1/2 cell in the Vanadium ReDox cycle.1.15 to 1.55 volts). Not sure what DOE patented, but it is far far safer than Lithium non flow storage, as well as cheaper. I am sure this can easily be made in the USA = mainly large tanks etc., but it is not a 'cool' tech. Lots of Vanadium out there. I suspect the low voltage is part of the problem with lithium having 2-3 times the volumetric efficiency.

Is the limitation on django ORM? Because I can run asyncpg/psycopg3 and sqlalchemy with async mode without any issues.
Good points - I see it as coding 1 from N, otherwise it doesn't really make sense.
Jobs are plentiful as long as wealth is well distributed.

In the past, fast automation has led to badly distributed wealth, and job loss. This situation has lasted until the unemployable people died off (yep, that was part of it), and enough wealth was redistributed through violent means.

Today we know better, and have really no reason to repeat the violent means of our previous revolutions. But it's really looking like the people in power want to repeat them.
Sure but it's probably cheaper in many cases to toss them and get a new cheap window. A lot of windows today are made of vinyl and they're absolute garbage.

A higher end window from Marvin like their ultimate line. But even then I'm not sure. The spring based systems with proprietary parts will make it hard in the future when those parts aren't available anymore.

It's hard to beat a rope, pulley, and weight for longevity.
Hm, while instructive, there are plenty of options for Wireguard meshes that more or less self configure and can NAT punch out of the box. This entire operation is a two-liner with the Tailscale Action, for example.
Charlotte would probably be a lot better off if the growth wasn't sprawling so much with very low density single family houses. Instead it's illegal to build anything but a SFH in most of the region.

Imagine if half the single family homes spreading out for miles were instead townhouses, 4-6 floor apartments, duplexes, quadplexes with mixed use like groceries and schools placed within walking distance of most neighborhoods. I bet traffic and costs would be a fraction of what they are now, much easier to serve density with good infrastructure. With an added bonus, more farms and greenspace would be preserved.

I don't think that's actually easier for students, and it's definitely harder for the programmer to implement, so what's the benefit?
I would assume they need to hand in the book itself for grading/verifying those exercises.

Some instructors are against the nickel and diming and rentseeking in education textbooks. Others are fully on board and participating.

every python developer has accidentally made django at least once.

you start with "i will do in flask because it's easier". then you need to add authorization/authentication. and then templating, ORM, maybe some RESTful flask library to make endpoints a bit easier... and now you have django, but in a different way.

Hi, I am Jason, the CTO and co-founder of Adadot.

Throughout the years, I have watched myself, my colleagues and friends struggle to understand how to go faster without burning out in both startups and unicorn companies.

I wanted to build something that helps the broader community and I am very happy to be sharing this with you today!

Super excited to hear your thoughts about it!!
Have you run out of money?

your assumption is that by buying everything I got from me and selling at an higher price than me (doesn't mean higher markup) you are pushing me out of business.

Or that you are monopolizing the market buying all the cars, assuming that you can buy the tens of millions of used cars around.

You're also assuming that I am stupid and I'll let you do that, in the name of principles.

The second time I see you coming in to buy a car I'll check who you are, the third time you come you'll be greeted by a "we are not a B2B company, find another supplier".
Existential threats tend to drive religious sentiment.

To say this revolution is not going to happen is to say humans have hit a hard technological limit, and I don't see any evidence to support that.

If I was less enthused I might make my opinions more philosophical than religious, but I feel overwhelmed by the possibilities of real world changes. This is no longer a philosophical thought experiment, it's happening. We are careering toward surpassing a Turing test for goodness sake.

CGI artists have been trying to get to this level of realism for as long as the industry has existed.

Unlike a religious pamphlet, this god is tangible, it's here, and dismissing it because it sounds too spectacular is putting your head in the sand. AI is so out of this world it is a religious moment for humanity.

I’ve seen splitting things go bad too. But less often and to a lesser degree of pain than mono dbs - a bad split is much easier to undo than monodb spaghetti.

However I think it’s “thou shall” rules like this blog post that force useless arguments. The reality is it depends, and you should be using your judgement, use the simplest thing (monodb) until it doesn’t work for you, then pursue splitting (or whatever). Just be aware of your problem domain, your likely max scale, and design for splitting the db sooner than you think before you’re stuck in mud.

And if you’re building something new in an already-at-scale company you should perhaps be starting with something like dynamo if it fits your usecase.

I was with you until the very end. Democracy as a whole is a poor system for doing just about anything. For example, free & open source software is not a democracy and it would never work if it was. We got here today explicitly via hierarchies, and with some participants being a lot more productive and "correct," than others. That's not an issue of economics or even politics; democracy as defined & even practiced today goes against the way human beings make progress.

The problem with the primary system is that it imposes significant guardrails upon intellectual debate, by making the partisans who coddle large vocal minorities appear to be the furthest you can go while still being successful. In fact, we have needed to think well outside even those boxes for many decades.

We need the citizenry to hold more radical political views. Radical politics indicates an understanding of political concepts, things which today very few people with a voice actually have. I don't care if you want to be a communist, a libertarian, or even a fascist authoritarian. As long as we stop having dull, ridiculous conversations comfortably within the tiny ring of globalist technocracy. That is what's literally killing the civilized world.
Young kids didn’t have trouble with Logo when it was popular. I remember Logo from my childhood. Negative numbers are not difficult. You just have to think of them as left 5 or down 2.
A vote for adding the abstractions now you think you’ll need later. I found once we crossed around the 1000 engineer mark, the main abstractions were so baked in that refactoring projects started taking years. Longer than the typical employee tenure, which effectively meant they couldn’t be done. 1. People generally don’t even start projects they won’t be around to finish, and 2. A refactoring project that turns over all its staff forgets what it was trying to do and grinds to a halt one way or another. (For instance because the junior staff, only ones willing to get involved with a long embattled project, don’t have the political capital to keep it funded in terms of headcount.)
