Understanding and Fixing N+1 Query
I run a boring website, and I care a great deal about UX and accessibility.

It's nearly impossible to find good UX resources for boring websites. It's all "30 clothing brand websites with cool hamburger menus".

If you're building a knowledge base, you're pretty much on your own. There's only the UK government's blog, nngroup.com and a few others.
I've noticed that for years in embedded (where we use "Intel HEX" formatted files) but I ascribed it to a field full of eccentric loners doing idiosyncratic things, or some kind of DOS 8.3 brain damage.
In what world is this true, except at fly-by-night places that advertise on TV?
I suspect you may know this, but for the sake of others reading the comments, this "version" of NetNewsWire started from the original developer of NetNewsWire (Brent Simmons). NetNewsWire had passed through two other owners and the final owner (BlackPixel) returned the brand back to Brent Simmons who had already started a new, open source RSS reader which has since been known as NetNewsWire 5 (but doesn't share code with the previous versions).

Welcome to Best Buy, I love you.
Thanks, I’d never heard of Movies Anywhere. It only seems to cover about half my library but still super useful!
So it remains to be see if its a genius move from Musk, or if traditional spot welded designs are in fact the better approach.

Fair enough. There is a chance it may not work as they planned, but the fact that they are buying more gigapresses tells me they are confident they will get it to work.

Munro and associates did a couple of videos on gigcasting. They did talk about what happens in crashes and did not see it as a major concern. Munro is universally recognized as the leading experts in automotive manufacturing.

That's... a bit of a weird thing to say. For one thing, this idea that our "American values" are so superior to everything else is an insult to a large part of the rest of the world that also has values that we'd consider positive and good. They didn't come by those values "because America" (ok, maybe a few did here and there, but that's far from universal).

For another thing, what "traditional" American values are you referring to, in particular? Slavery? Racism? Institutionalized oppression? Police brutality? The military-industrial complex? The prison-industrial complex -- the fact that we have such a high percentage of our population incarcerated? Our legally-enshrined puritanical fear of victimless "crimes" like smoking a plant? The disenfranchisement of the poor? Income and wealth inequality? The continued weakening of labor movements? A small but loud and influential contingent of religious nuts who seem to believe that their god should be calling the shots in our legal system (hypocritically many of the same people who have wrung their hands over "Sharia law")?

Sure, I'm focusing on the negative here, and as much as I'm a bit cynical these days, there is plenty of good to come out of our country, even today. But this whole "wave the flag", "everyone should be more like us" stuff is pretty gross and short-sighted. The better values "dying" of late bit may be true (or not, I don't know anymore), but also overlooks a lot of bad stuff that has been in our national DNA for centuries.
Wow, this app has presented RSS reader as a cool new app in the market. Kudos to whoever wrote the copy for the landing page. I’m convinced to give it a try to experience a “synced” experience because I don’t have a RSS feed reader on my phone. I use Thunderbird on my mac for mail and RSS feeds because everything I need to read is right there in the same app.

Trains have very complex odometry on board already. You'd just add this new magnet sensor to the ensemble of sensors already in use to locate the train. Magnetic maps can be updated using reference markers with known positions, e.g. balises, from the data that trains collect.
Sorry, but this post just shows a lack of experience in dealing with distributed systems. Joel was bang on the money about the problems of disguising network interactions in applications.

Async vs Sync is not enough. Network partitions have multiple failure modes depending on a range of factors, but one of the most pernicious is the “undetectable cloud break”, an invisible break between two routers. Having a well defined “api” that is the clear “we are communicating over the network here” makes it much easier to reason about and handle these issues.

There is an enormous difference between “this I/O call failed” and “this I/O call took 10 minutes to fail”.
Of course, there's also the inherent added lag.
Some people just embrace losing their minds entirely.
I feel for you if you feel "old" as a dev, you've internalized some form of ageism. Some of us have careers the same age as you. Maybe some jobs didn't materialize for ageism for such ancients, but jobs are there.

What companies do you want to work for? Do you have any domain specialties? Where are you looking?

The fact that you have your own drive for learning things is a plus. Companies want explorers and self-trainers. School's long enough ago to be irrelevant. Make something that works and build a github portfolio. You'll be fine, maybe after a period of anxiety.

That is very useful work to squeeze more performance out of existing software, I would say there is still a lot more to be gained from big wins in more efficiently distributing computing power like cloud computing and containerization (which are the kind of non-obvious ideas that require systems research to happen before implementation).

I'm not a systems researcher on the verge of becoming a millionaire so I don't know what those ideas are but anyone can see the untapped potential is enormous.
>No, the whole reason for NATO qua NATO support for Ukraine is that Russian aggression in the region is a regional security threat. Checking that aggression is by far the most important current security concern of NATO.

And what are the limits to this support? At some point, the support for Ukraine creates a greater security threat to NATO than no support. Escalating the proxy war to the point where Russia's only options are to nuke or retreat is a total failure of protecting regional security. Escalating even further to direct warfare with Russia is just to dissolve any idea of NATO security. There is no rational policy here, only policy driven by moral indignation.
Why is that nonsensical?
Perhaps a lot of key folders such as Documents, pictures, etc should also be readonly or denied access to prevent someone from using those temp profile folders and beliving data would persist.

Or maybe a temp profiles directory structure shouldn't be visually similar or identical to a full a profile.

Lots of low hanging fruit here.
Yeah you’re right, there is some of it but when it comes to anything that slightly disturbs the political bias; cynicism prevails.
The number of people who have been using and contributing to Emacs continuously since the 80s probably numbers in the dozens if not less. The maintainer of Doom Emacs has been an Emacs user for about 10 years; the lead maintainer of Magic has been an Emacs user for, well I’m not entirely sure, but I’m not aware of his contributions prior to Magit which started just shy of 10 years ago; the maintainer of Projectile has been an Emacs user for about 20 years, and their major contributions started around 10 years ago. If you’ve been using Emacs for 10 years, you’ve probably seen a lot, especially if you contribute to the project. 10 years is a long time in software, whether the project has been around for 15 years or 40 years.
RMS' stance on the technical topics concerning Emacs here (which the larger portion of the article is about) really doesn't make any sense even in the context of strict free software advocacy. This is just hurting both the Emacs project and the reputation of the FSF.

Free Software Foundation deals with the issue of software freedom.

Not diabetes, not the poor children in Africa, not child slavery in China, not social justice - just software freedom.

If they start caring about other issues unrelated to software freedom, they would have to divert their resources from the issues of software freedom to something else. Demanding they care about other issues is demanding they care less about software freedom, as their resources are limited, naturally.
If nothing else, there needs to be a clear concession plan ASAP. One refrain I kept reading when he came back to the FSF was that we needed him back because no one else could lead this movement. Really? No one? In 36 years since the FSF was founded it hasn't managed to attract a single individual with the sufficient combination of motivation, morals, and skill to replace Stallman? If that's not the definition of failure I don't know what is.

The man is 70 years old. Decent odds they'll be doing without him sooner than later.

Chinese spoken languages are different, so the replacing logographic system will create an additional fault line inside the society.

Besides, even a change of alphabet creates a barrier in understanding of an existing written corpus. I once worked as a translator for a Kasakh high school student who created a program converting different alphabets used in Kasakh language. Once it was Arabic alphabet. Then came progressives and changed the alphabet to Latin. Then came Soviet communists and change the alphabet to Cyrillic. Progressives continued to use Latin though - in exile… There were interesting texts in each “encoding”, and my protege created a program for International Science Fair competition that allowed reading of all Kasakh texts in a preferred encoding.

So computers simplified the transition a bit, but the problem still exists.

One of the things I don't get, one of many, is how the NSA, or what ever agency, did not track all these super secret documents? How did they ever let anyone take them out of a secure area? My local library has a better way to track the books I borrow. Why isn't some one looking at that too?

It took action by the National Archives to let them know that there were classified documents along with other presidential material outside a secured area. At the very least, who ever manages the documents, should have had someone asking about their location every day.
People in the West rarely get to encounter situations such as these that make me thankful every day for the imperfect heaven we live in.

What we have in the west isn't perfect, but God am i thankful to not have my family denied education or other social essentials because i decide to speak my mind.

It makes sense in the context cited in TFA.

RMS would rather go down in flames than risk having third parties "abuse" GCC.

Substantive evidence that the situation has changed since the founding of GNU is moot.

The author himself seems to have given up on following the described GTD process strictly.[1]

I have wondered this about productivity systems and hacks, too. With GTD, the key seems to be to get yourself over the edge of your resistance to get your tasks done. If you fundamentally resist the tasks you think you ought to be doing, GTD will probably not work long-term. For example because you hate some aspect of your job or you’re afraid about the outcomes of your tasks. If you just need a way to organize all the little actionable items because otherwise you lose track of them, GTD might work.

I also wonder if people that we normally see as productive (Nobel prize winners, etc.) need to force themselves to stick to a special GTD system, too, or if for them the resistance is weaker and their tasks end up getting done one way or another.

In any case, Emacs and Vim are great outlets for tinkering with productivity hacks. But the long-term solutions might need to be deeper.

Is this sort of thing common? Do other countries place police forces in other sovereign nations with the intent to help their home country's tourists get around in a foreign land? If not, then I think we need to look at this as an aberration, with scrutiny, and assume the worst until proven otherwise.

I personally think it is outrageous that the US government (or state or local governments) allows China to station police officers on US soil, and gives them the right to act in a police capacity. I am not ok with that at all, even if what you suggest as their purpose is correct.

Why would this even be necessary, if they're here for the purpose you suggest? Local police can handle these sorts of cases, and cities where tourists tend to travel certainly have translators on staff. Hell, cities in the US have translators to help with residents whose English skills are poor.

Also: it's not "racist" to dislike this sort of thing if the foreign government in question is not aligned values-wise with your own. I don't think it's remotely appropriate for an authoritarian anti-democratic country to have law enforcement influence on our soil.

I wouldn't have the same reaction if, say, a tight US ally (South Korea or Japan, to pick examples from the same part of the world) were to have an informal police presence in the US. But even then, I would expect them to be working with the FBI (or similar) on higher-level international crime matters (sorta like an Interpol type thing), not working on local crime. Foreign police forces should not have any kind of jurisdiction in "local" crimes.
> We can tolerate some flaws in people who are doing good work.

Stallman's principles are important, the man saw really far into the future towards which we have been heading. However, in the GCC AST case these principles really got in the way of good work.

Free software is supposed to be the superior software. It seems obvious to me that superior software would be easy to interface with and build upon. GCC should have been no exception but he chose to make it hard on purpose because some proprietary software somewhere might interface with it some day and he didn't want to help those people. It's my understanding this is one of the many reasons why clang is so relevant today.

This unwillingness to help proprietary software shows up in other parts of the free software culture as well. For example, nobody seems to care much about binary interfaces, only source code that can be recompiled.

Exactly, all the later languages that were made to replace C++ (Swift, Rust, Zig) all rely on LLVM, so it has become a much more important project than in the past. (And I'll bet Google's new Carbon language will also rely on LLVM.) It's just that it's so hard and time-consuming to write a compiler backend with all the latest optimization techniques, and GCC's backend isn't as much as flexible than what LLVM brings to the table.

Writing (and printing) enabled them to impose their culture. For example, Pizzaro had the benefit of a thousand years of military history to draw from, thanks to writing and books. The Inca did not. Writing & printing is a huge mind multiplier. It's hard to overestimate it.

(The Inca Empire was, of course, also an Empire formed by the Inca imposing their culture on other tribes.)
I think the problem is the either or nature. One dev one box is a mistake. The team should have a few they share.

What bad things do people say about Linus?
It is certainly inappropriate to say today. It may have been closer to being acceptable in 1985, when it (allegedly) took place. Customs and morals change with the times, sometimes more than we want to imagine or recall.

Remember, this was only one year after the movie Revenge of the Nerds was a lasting hit (it spawned one theatrical sequel and two more TV sequels). Viewed with today’s eyes, the movie is unequivocally terrible, with rape perpetrated by the movie’s protagonist being played for laughs, among many other things. But it was not viewed as terrible by audiences at the time. However, the people who liked the movie at the time, and even the people who made the movie at the time have presumably changed in the intervening years, and may not deserve to be judged by something they did forty years ago.

melodysheep is an incredible creator.

As someone who lives in the material world, made of matter, it is mindboggling to me that we could be so shortlived and that in reality, the universe after all matter is gone is still just being born.
