Using your logic ("During most of the history Italy didn't even exist"), the same can be said about Croatia.

The two times Croatia for sure has existed in history was (1) from 1941 to 1945 [0] - as a Nazi-supported and -supporting country, committing crimes against Christian-Orthodox Serbs, Jews and Romani people with support of the Roman-Catholic Church and Nazi-Germany/Austria [1] and (2) from 1991 into the present - when that state (with the help of Germany, Austria and RCC) was re-awakened to finish the job of pushing Christian-Orthodoxy and the Serbs away from the Adriatic sea and toward East [2].

Every other claim that Croatia has existed prior to 1941 is just a fantasy. The "List of rulers of Croatia" is such an example [3]. The heading "Under the Habsburgs (1527–1918)" is in the category ROTFL. They are ALL Germans but your people seriously write they were "Croatian rulers"!

Next heading ("Kings of Yugoslavia (1918–1941)") is even more hilarious: There, Croatian editors list three rulers, ALL of which were Christian-Orthodox Serbs! That LITTLE fact is not mentioned in the article. One of them was "Assassinated by the VMRO with Ustaše support in 1934." Ustaše are Croatian terrorist organisation that has later led the first Croatian state from 1941 until 1945. But, hey, he is a "Croatian ruler"!

I haven‘t tried it, but I‘m willing to bet that at least one of these would claim that my primary phone number "is not a mobile phone number" (but I use it on a phone), "is not registered in my name" (it is, and how do you claim to know?), or "is a VoIP number, which is insecure and therefore not allowed".

Phone numbers are neither good user identifiers nor viable authentication factors.
"focus time" calendar entry works pretty well. I set that along with marking my chat status as being in focus, and then will close Gmail/chat.

While I don't do everything in this article, I definitely do many of them. Trying to treat chat and email as synchronous drove me a bit crazy, so I did these things a while ago.

Nice to see these ideas all written down in once place.

Theres go mod tidy, which does exactly that.
I'd say it's just vastly different, and some rather basic assumptions C makes about the environment (basically that it's sorta kinda UNIX-y if you squint hard enough) simply don't hold.

You can still see the UNIX-centric point of view in stdlibs of other languages: I am particularly amused by Golang's "os" package. It's kinda-sorta supposed to be portable and OS- and platform-independent, but it's designed for POSIX-likes first which is why one has to pass 0666 or whatever as permissions when trying to open a file on Windows (even though it is completely ignored).
FFS. Yeah nationalists will bend history so they can tell how things would be right now, and I loathe that as well. But that doesn't mean that the opposite of what nationalists say must be true by definition. Parts of Herzegovina were indeed populated by ethnic Croatians and part of it was even under the kingdom of Croatia (not that being under a rule of a give king has anything to do with the ethnicity of people who live there)

I don't understand him and he's one of the most interesting figures of all time... and I say that without believing in his divinity. But I think the direct words are the truest part. If you can ever get your hands on the book "Jesus" by Henri Barbusse
.. it is a humbling version of the book told through his own words. Barbusse was a Christian socialist who thought Jesus was basically a communist... but if you look at a lot of what Jesus said, he was mostly a communist (at least compared to the Jews at the time who wanted to suppress his ideas). of course the Jews always have to be the bad guys in this story, even though our only sin was saying this guy wasn't the messiah. But I do personally think that a lot of what he had to say was good and necessary. It was just widely misunderstood which led to thousands of years of my people being slaughtered... but he did make good points about humans, forgiveness, charity and work.

My parents are retired in SC. Other than "no guns at our house" they hide their liberal views and end up finding left wing friends through weird whisper networks. The huge majority of their friends and neighbors are red (they live in a very white and quite wealthy area).
Adding on to the other reply, the first place I heard of this general idea was from a survivor of a POW camp in Vietnam, who said that the people who thought they’d never get out didn’t fare well, but that the people that fared the worst were the ones who thought they’d be out by Christmas. Christmas came and went and they still were in the camp, and that really demoralized them. The move was to know that you’d eventually make it out, but be very pessimistic about when that would be.
I still have nightmares that I remember about a require class that I've been neglecting, and like you, I don't know enough to get the required grade. And, to make matters worse, if I don't pass this class this semester, I will not finish my degree, and my job offer will be revoked, etc etc.

My graduating year was very stressful. First grad student in the family, new relationship, finishing thesis and final publications, a math result that fell apart leaving one publication in danger, job hunting, tech interviews, and negotiations, cross-country move (compounding relationship). I didn't realize how stressful until I got the benefit of hindsight.

I'm also sure I"ll have nightmares about this time right now: Sick babies, haven't caught up from their newborn days, new high stress job, cross country move (again), house hunting while stuck in a rental, uncertain income (due to uncertain RSU vesting due to stressful job and all this time with sick kiddos slowing me down).

Come to think of it, where's the support group for these kind of white-collar, good-to-have kind of problems? I'm fairly confident this is one of the major contributors to generational success: You can look to your parents, grandparents, aunts/uncles , etc and get a data point that everything will be OK, everyone struggles with their thesis, etc and get meaningful advice and genuine support because the people around you have been there.
Will Deno’s approach to NPM compatibility support peer dependencies? https://nodejs.org/en/blog/npm/peer-dependencies/

Furthermore, will it support unifying transitive dependency versions to minimize bundle sizes?
It really isn't that much different though. After skimming through the source code of Zig, you can see that well over 90% of the code is OS independent.

Not only that, it looks like they do have windows support and it's just failing atm. It also looks like they have cleanly separated all OS functionality from the logic. This is where it looks like the majority of the OS dependent code lives[0], and the implementation for this is 1000 lines of code. So clearly, it looks like it shouldn't take more than a few hours to get even a programming language up and running when porting it.

Further, it looks like they're using the cpp stdlib to assist with some OS dependent functions[1]. They're clearly using at least:

* std filesystem

* std future

* std iostream

* std mutex

* std thread

* std atomic

And more. So if you're being smart about things, which it looks like the developers most certainly are, then you don't need to reinvent 90% of the OS dependent code and can instead use the stdlib that already exists to automagically get that functionality.

Pass is amazing. Along with yubikeys to do the encryption and "touch to sign" to avoid agent exploitation (so you need to touch it for every use) it's pretty safe too. There's good browser plugins available.

It's a bit of a pain to set it all up on every OS. Especially on Windows it feels far from native. But it works well.
It doesn’t change what they’re obviously trying to do. They haven’t deleted the user data, as you would expect perhaps from that contract spiel ^ but instead hold it as a reward for resubscribing. Holding the company's ability to operate for ransom. That’s so underhanded I don’t have the words. Actually I do - Lastpass is a form of ransomware, except that you pay them before they lock you out of your data as well. By definition, that’s what they’re doing. Show me that in their stupid contract

I mean sure they slipped us a contract too long to read on a busy day, Ok, but that they’re now bending their customer over is still cause for alarm. Just because their contract says they can get away with it doesn’t mean they aren’t scum for doing it to a customer that gave them a pile of money for a simple convenience service.

I mean their whole pitch is based around them being trustworthy. They’re just waiting to stab you in the back.

> your idea of small towns is quite off

My idea of small towns is based on well designed towns in central Europe. Almost everything you talk about here are problems from poorly planned suburbs, and have nothing to do with actual towns/cities.

> bikes are inconvenient because I'm most likely getting groceries for the next two weeks, or it's raining

If you can't realistically walk to a supermarket to buy groceries and carry them home, then your town is not a functional town. A lightweight rain jacket is very cheap.

> The bus is super slow with all the stops

The bus is faster in busy traffic, because the bus has dedicated lanes and routes that are not legal for cars to drive in. There are no personal cars allowed in our town center, you need to drive around the outside and find parking which is always less convenient than the bus.

> Most city public transportation is sub-par quality and safety wise.

Again, this sounds like a massive failing of infrastructure. I find busses are clean, cheap, and as safe as walking down the street.

I have a car, I understand they are sometimes necessary and that there are things which unfortunately are not possible without them right now. But for making short distance journeys on a day to day basis in your own town or city? That just shouldn't ever make sense.
awwwwhhhh snap!

Which is what exactly?
I'd also be interested in this. I have a unit that is not controlled by a thermostat except at the head. It would be nice to see how often it runs and how much it draws and when. I would have to go with a power monitoring solution which takes up too much space in my breaker panel.
Perovskites are lately in the position of needing to prove longevity, which takes a long time.

In the meantime, they are quite a lot cheaper to make, so in many uses it would not matter so much if they did fail faster. In some uses, like aerospace, their lighter weight and better areal efficiency are essential, and forgive a lot.
RxDB v13 Replication Protocol
We have a blender that we got from my wife's parents. It probably dates back to the 1950s, and I love it. It's only got two speeds and heavy as anything, but it's probably the most solidly-built appliance I own. I also have one I bought in the early 90s that's fine as well. I don't expect to ever need to buy another one.

But you're absolutely right. Buying cheap stuff is bad in so many ways. Since they wear out faster, you end up replacing them much more often, which is environmentally bad, and in the long run, costs more. The problem is that being expensive does not necessarily correlate with lasting long.

When our TV died a few years ago, my kids pooled together and bought me a 50" Samsung 4k TV. It's a great device in so many ways, but after 3 years, the backlights started failing. Right now half the screen is dark, and it would cost almost as much as a new TV to get them replaced, with a part that probably costs all of $5 to manufacture. So it's been hanging on the wall for the last year, because I've been too cheap to replace the whole TV, and too scared too attempt the repair on my own, since it involves stripping the thing down to the frame (and removing that enormous panel). I still might try some day. It's worth a $50 gamble to get the TV back. Either that or I'll just replace the darn thing. This TV (like all modern TVs) is a miracle of engineering, and the thing that stopped it from being usable is probably the simplest and one of the cheapest components.

My first TV was a hand-me-down from my parents that eventually died in late '88 or '89. It was an RCA from 1968. Then I bought a 26" RCA TV in 1989 and used it until we replaced it with an HD TV in 2012. It still worked fine when we got rid of it, and I was sad to see it go, even though we had no use for it.
I switched from Xero to plaintext accounting,[0] and it was a huge step up.

There are several different plaintext accounting tools, but they all support automation like this. I personally use Beancount because I work best in Python.

The other huge advantage is that the "state" of your finances isn't opaque like in Xero. If you realize you've been categorizing certain transactions incorrectly in Xero, it's a hassle to navigate Xero's interface to correct everything, whereas in plaintext accounting it's usually a 2-second find/replace.

The downside is that there's a steep learning curve and the documentation is kind of overwhelming, but once you learn it, it's extremely valuable.

In a way, I think you and your parent are both right. The missing link is that the analogy is based on multivariate series. First order deals with each variable in isolation. X1, X2, X3, . . . Second order contains interaction terms like X1 x X2 (The X1^2 can be thought of as a self interaction.) Third order would consider interactions between three variables and so on.

I’m not sure if this a false etymology, but it’s how I’ve always understood the term and I’ve met others who understand it this way as well.

I think the origin may be from linear regression with polynomial terms, which is very common in the medical sciences and social sciences. Terms like X1 x X2 are called interaction terms in that context and coefficients are often treated as quantifying the impact of a term on the result. Strictly speaking, the analogy would then be with any multivariate polynomial approximation, not just Taylor series.

I had one excerpt of that, did part time manual labour gig, coding during night and mornings on a side project. It was quite blissful. No negative emotion only pure intrinsic motivation. The manual labour gig acted as a good time constraint (30min to make a clean patch, 1h to think of how to add this feat) and gave a good balance of creativity and productivity. No bad colleague, no friction, no unwanted feature.

This is pleasing to see - no node_modules, no npm install. Just a special import format.

They are not clear if you need to have npm installed or not for this to work. I sincerely hope not - if it requires a locally-installed npm then they've shat the bed I think... that would be a major turn-off for me.

Can't say I've ever been concerned by the performance of Deno, but looking forward to seeing this playout anyway since faster is always nice to have.
Timeline-Sankey: Visualize time range series data
Put all my experience with time range visualization into this project. https://github.com/geekplux/timeline-sankey Sankey Diagram is great for showing the relationships between each node.

I use this script, saved as `rerun`, to automatically re-execute a command whenever a file in the current directory changes:

#!/usr/bin/sh

while true; do
reset;
"$@";
inotifywait -e MODIFY --recursive .
done

For example, if you invoke `rerun make test` then `rerun` will run `make test` whenever you save a file in your editor.
Is it the young generation pushing ESG? ESG seems to me like the vanguard of socialism in today's era. And the blame for that rests on the Finks, the O'Learies, and the Buffetts of the world.

Not the young people who don't know any better. They're only acting this way because they aren't educated, or they're desperate. The old heads of capitalism know full well what they're doing.
Not that long ago I was maintaining around 30 Drupal (popular PHP CMS) websites for different clients, on different ISPs.

I made a CLI utility for automating certain operations I was doing all the time: rsync of sources (push or pull), db backup / rollback, copying the local db to the remote server or back, etc. The utility looked for a dotfile in the project directory to get things like the remote server address, remote project path, etc.

The tool served several purposes:

- Executing auxiliary tools (rsync, mysqldump, drush) with the right parameters, without requiring me to remember them.

- Storing (non-secret) information about the remote environment(s) in the project directory.

- Some dangerous operations (e.g. copying the local db to the remote server) were prohibited unless the dotfile explicitly enabled them. Some sites were only edited on dev and then pushed to production, but some had user data that should never be overwritten.

- When running rsync of sources the tool always did a dry-run first, and then required entering a randomly generated 4-letter code to execute them... so I would have to stop and think and didn't deploy by mistake.

This tool is too rough for sharing it with the general public... but I consider it one of my greatest professional achievements because it saved me a lot of mental effort and stress over the years, quite a bit of time, prevented me from shooting myself in the foot, and forced me to use proper workflows every time instead of winging it. It required a small investment of time and some foresight... but my philosophy is that my work should be to build tools to replace me, and that was a step in that direction.
Yes, this will be supported.

A couple of weeks back the very distinct name of a former co-worker popped into my head, and I did a search. Found some info.

When I knew him he was an intranet webmaster for a state agency. Remember "webmasters"? Anyway, in the years since, he went over to the Agile side. He's done a huge amount of contract project management work since, for several state agencies, and also for Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. And at least one gig in Australia.

Looks like a success. Completely different than what he was doing way back in the 2003-2005 period. Apparently he just decided to grab it and run with it, regardless of what you, I, or anyone else thinks about "Agile". It's a thing, and he's doing it successfully, and he seems to be in control of his life, so...

I'd say stay away from being a government employee, but as one option, governments always seem to have boatloads of money to hire consultants and contractors. Back about year 2002 I was making maybe $45k and the contractor in the next cubicle was making over $200k, didn't know any more than I did, just different things, and was treated like a god, while I was expected to eat shit and smile, all day, every day.

I quit my last job, as a state government web dev, when I decided that I'd rather die than keep working there. That was July 7, 2005. As things unfolded, I haven't worked since. This was a totally stupid thing to do, but somehow I survived. If I had it all to do over, I would be a whole bunch smarter, but here I am. I made it on savings to 2011, when I was eligible for Social Security at 62, and three years later at 65 I began drawing on my state pension. Now I'm living in Cuenca, Ecuador, where my monthly spending is under $800, around a third of my income. OK so far.

I use AutoHotkey for short-term automation of programs, helped by this entry for "when I save the Autohotkey config in notepad with ctrl+s, reload the script in AutoHotkey so it works immediately":

~^s::
WinGetActiveTitle, currentWinTitle
If InStr(currentWinTitle, "AutoHotkey.ahk - Notepad")
Reload
Return

Then entries which automate typical Windows keyboard actions, like this one below which triggers on alt+3 and moves around the fields on some specific GUI program which had no other automation support for what I was doing:

!3::Send {alt down}a{alt up}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}Position{Shift down}{Down}{Shift up}{Del}{Tab}{Tab}

Workflow becomes:

- have something mildly repetitive to do, notice how to do parts of it with keyboard only.

- right click AutoHotkey icon in taskbar, edit (opens Notepad).

- change some of these automations, alt+1, alt+2, alt+3, ...

- press ctrl+s to save and reload.

- switch back to the program and use the hotkey immediately to begin helping.

- repeat switching to AutoHotkey and the program, tweaking and adding more.

It's amenable to the kind of occasional task which has no easy proper automation, or is a one-off and isn't worth more time to do it through proper interfaces. Things like a vendor support telling you to "go through every affected record and toggle X field off and on again".
