Just use Windows Forms. It’s easy, still supported and even still being improved.

Avoid MAUI, it’s not ready enough. WPF and UWP are pretty much dead and even if you disagree and think they’re not they’re far more cumbersome to become competent with than WinForms.

Is there any introduction to all the services that are included in the docker-compose file [1]?

I wanted to give signoz a try, but the sheer amount of services attached discouraged me, especially as I have to reconfigure them all to work with my setup. (Don't run them directly on the host, instead in a separated network, put the network interface behind traefik, figure out which access they need, provide all the configuration in a nice way without having to clone the full repo just to have the configuration files.)

They're being ironic:

> At the risk of upsetting the entire internet, the annexation of those four Ukrainian territories seems like a great time to end this war to me. Does anyone honestly believe a significant percentage of the people who live there want a massive counteroffensive on their doorstep? I don't.

> The west knowingly provoked this war, the thing experts warned for years would happen did happen, and now Ukraine lost some territory. Rather than risking millions or billions of lives escalating this conflict, it seems sensible to draw a line under it. You can yell "Putin bad!" and "International law!" all you want, but it's just a cold hard fact that after the annexation the US/NATO/Ukraine tandem is going to be presented with the choice of either ending the bloodshed or massively, massively escalating it. Pretty easy choice, in my opinion
You're right, it's not as simple as I described.

But (my bio is rusty) a haploid genome (gamete) cannot fully represent the genome of a diploid human.

If you're looking for genetic disorders, these will often be the result of recessive traits, right? So having only half of the chromosome sets is not indicative.

That's my example of hair color. With a full genome sequence, you could determine the person's hair color, but with a haploid genome, you could not.

> What we would benefit from is workplaces having a strong stance on which culture they belong to, and applicants understanding that, respecting it, and seeking employment in the desired culture.

That just sounds like a strong stance that minorities (of any type) should be restricted to a tiny number of companies and fields, and that companies should be very opinionated and strict about aspects of applicants that are completely unrelated to their technical, organizational or communications skills.
I asked this same question not long ago and the CEO of a well known company in this same research area reached out and recommended Veritas Genomics https://veritasgenetics.com/mygenome/

It's not common knowledge, but there's an algorithm called "genomic imputation"

It can take incomplete data, like the kind you get from 23andMe, etc, and magically "fill in the gaps" to compute the majority of the rest of your genome

There used to be a free service https://impute.me that would do this for you

That system is track circuitry that uses relays to detect rolling stock when they short the two rails via their wheels. That exists widely, and it identifies that rolling stock is present in a track section. That same relay also locally (as in, on the ground at that location) triggers any signals to switch to red.

Controllers can’t then give authorisation to another train to enter that section, nor can they override any red signal. In cases where it applies, they also can’t remotely control track switches to enter this occupied section. However there’s nothing with that system that then controls the rolling stock itself, so a driver can still SPAD if they don’t see or ignore the red, and the remote network controller absolutely cannot stop a train that is hurtling towards an occupied section. That’s all on the driver in the cab.

Fun fact: track clips are used by track gangs to short these sections in lieu of a big axle sitting on it, which is one of the methods of providing site control to the gangs so trains don’t enter their worksite. It’s certainly not the only one, though.

> Scalping is unpleasant for everyone involved other than the scalper

No, it’s also pleasant for the person who wants to go to the event and can afford to buy a ticket on the secondary market.
I disagree with the notion that things should be as expensive as (some) people are willing to pay. The argument seems skewed towards the interests of wealthy. What if all food was priced "optimally" in terms of foodmakers' profit, making it so expensive that half of society starves to death? Would that be just "liquidity in the market"? If so, then honestly fuck the liquidity in the market.

The market is supposed to serve the people, not the other way around.

How exactly is scalping "free market"? It is a textbook definition of artificial scarcity.

Also, "market liquidity" is just fine, without the help of the scalpers. If you want that bad to go to a concert, just post how much you're willing to pay for a ticket on a couple of FB groups. If you're willing to give 2x - 4x the face value, I'm pretty sure someone will be willing to part with their ticket.
That's fair enough. Same situation for me really I don't need the auth functionality.

The way I had Photoprism set up is that mine and my wife's phones would sync images nightly to the server, the photos would be rsyncd from the public facing sync server to an internal one (not in the DMZ) then I'd have the server send me a link to the import page on Photoprism because it lacks the feature to autosync when new files are added; I think having to open the page while on LAN (link was internal only) and click a button was the straw that broke the camels back here for me.

I think I also had something like 10-12 cores dedicated to it, which alongside the RAM use that constantly crept up, and the manual intervention, was just too much for a photo management tool that wasn't really even managing the photos in a way that was useful to us.

I recall this being predicted something like 10 years ago. I wonder why a slowdown happened.
In fact I’ve watched it play in reverse many times. Men telling their partners to overcome psychological barriers to perform certain tasks to their preference for example.

A guy I knew once told his girlfriend “just be a mom!” when she was tired and their son was crying. Rather than be a dad, he demanded that she resume a role and shamed her for wanting a break.

And yet I’ve experienced the same as a man. The sort of “just be a man” mentality and rhetoric you can encounter is widespread and ranges through all depths of relationships. Ever been unemployed as a man? People can be absurdly insensitive and unkind about it. It really makes people uneasy sometimes… Like there must be something wrong with you. Never mind why you’re unemployed; there could be any number of valid reasons, but people seem to assume that’s not the case.

The point is that this isn’t a gendered problem. I suppose it’s a people being selfish problem first, coupled with many possible issues leading to the selfishness and the gendered presumptions we make about our partners. We do the same thing with genderless accusations though. We just want certain behaviours from our partners and use all kinds of means to justify it, gendered or not.
You're conveniently talking past me. Let me make it simple.

> If there are only 10000 tickets and 100000 people would be willing to pay face value for the ticket, how do you suggest the tickets be allocated? A lottery?

Why not? If the artist prices their concerts at $100 because they want all of their fans to be able to attend, and if their fans are willing to spend $100 to go see them, why do scalpers get to "ackshually free market dynamics" there? I am quite happy with a ticket lottery as long as there are no sybill attacks possible on the system.
> How exactly is scalping "free market"? It is a textbook definition of artificial scarcity.

No, artificial scarcity is for things that there could be an unlimited amount of, but that the seller artificially restricts the supply of. The limit on the number of seats at a concert is real, and scalpers don't change it.

> If you want that bad to go to a concert, just post how much you're willing to pay for a ticket on a couple of FB groups. If you're willing to give 2x - 4x the face value, I'm pretty sure someone will be willing to part with their ticket.

> (i.e. # of words you write effects UI layout in massive ways)

Yep. Does anybody work with dedicated copywriters and dedicated UI designers who don't do copy? What's the general process?

I find the UI design and copywriting has to be done iteratively because they're interdependent and require experimentation to find the right balance. For example, sometimes there's a tricky layout situation that can be solved by just changing the length of the copy. Same goes for development, sometimes it can be easier to modify the UI slightly to make it more practical to implement e.g. some responsive design coding can get really complex if you're not leaning into what the browser lets you do easily with flexbox/grid.

Work goes a lot smoother with better results when each team has some flexibility and collaborate in an iteratively way vs thinking they can handover their part and have it followed without any tweaks.

I tried setting up a platform exactly like this a few years ago, and launched it in Australia.

I think you have no idea how deep the hole goes here.

I can only speak of my local experience, but it was so hard getting off the ground. Convincing artists and promoters to use an unknown site, convincing users that they should place fair bids (no, you don't want to pay $9999 for a ticket...)

The number of venues that had exclusive deals with Ticketmaster or Ticketek to be the sole seller of tickets for the venue also made selling tickets in larger venues impossible.

I ended up winding down the platform after running it only for a few months. Maybe if I had more capital, and some better connections inside the entertainment community, things could have been different.

How about "Want a friend? Go find one. We're at work." Work is the only place where people who aren't wealthy can get their pay. Work, a place where people are locked in for 8 hours a day under pain of starvation and homelessness, is the only place where some minority of people can make "friends." We shouldn't tailor everything around those people, even though they're likely to be the most vocal.
As always, science is just as much about confirming null hypotheses as it is about disproving them. Either way can be equally good science. Having scientific evidence that X happens is much more valuable than having a hypothesis that X happens. And obviously evidence almost never conveys just a single bit of information. This paper is about how and when and where and to what degree X was observed to happen, not only whether X did happen.

The same thing happens at my company as well. Preference is given to women or ppl from minority groups before hiring others (American males really). Hiring managers have to go through a period of only interviewing from these groups first, they will only then hire outside if the period passes and they don’t find a candidate.

I personally have worked with new hires that most certainly did not meet the bar but were hired because of their minority group to increase diversity. I really wondered how they passed their interview because their technical ability clearly did not meet the standard.

I was also involved in an interview with a candidate that was not qualified however the other interviewer passed them and said they’re giving them the benefit of the doubt because they were POC!!!

I’m all for diversity and increasing chances of folks from minority groups, but not at the cost of lowering the bar. Note that I’m not saying that ppl from minority groups are less competent, just that the bar is lowered for them when it’s not for others.

I myself am from a POC background and I really wonder if that was the case with me. Does it mean that Im less qualified and would not have been hired if I was not POC? It’s really not fair to me if so.
Leaving the original in place but struck out is really hard on the platform I'm using. Possible, but non-trivial, and it seemed better simply to "fix" it for anyone reading it later. If it was mis-leading then I wanted to fix it. I do, by the way, agree that it might be a difference between cultures. Some things don't translate and come across differently.

For reference, at the end the original read:

It was apparent on the faces of the staff that this was most unexpected ... members of the public weren't supposed to know how the system worked ... how could I possibly have known ?!?

But it was a real-life example of a finite-state machine, beautifully designed, and extremely effective.

Until I did something unexpected, of course. But they didn't seem to mind too much.

You probably do; it's just not itemized as such. (I mean, I don't know how, since supermarket prices at least at the big stores seem to be the same across very different chains—but they do refurbish, and the money for that has to come from somewhere, so they're getting it out of you somehow.)
Honest question: why did TypeScript succeed while ActionScript 3.0, another ECMAScript-superset language with typing and OOP (and predates TS by a few years), is all but a distant memory? Is it more than just Adobe being a terrible steward of its tech?

With that said, TS is definitely a blessing; I recently had the privilege of migrating to it after having written a hobby project in plain JS, and the difference in usability between the two is night and day. But I can't help but feel that I've seen this all before years ago in AS3.
> artificial scarcity is for things that there could be an unlimited amount of, but that the seller artificially restricts the supply of

Since the "unlimited amount of" anything doesn't exist in the real world, replace the "unlimited" with "sufficient", and the concept of artificial scarcity can be applied to scalping again. If scalpers sell tickets at 4x the face value, they don't need to sell them all to make a profit - they only need to sell more than 25%. All the others can go to waste, and scalpers are still profiting.

That's, again, textbook artificial scarcity.
