As a (presumably) fellow Canadian: Things do look bleak some days, and "Others are worse" is cold comfort. The fact that the grass is always greener, and a nation always looks worse from the inside though, is at least slightly reassuring - it at least implies things are at least salvagable.
That part is fine. The part that isn't is where they require you to give your personal information to a third party who has very weak controls on how they share it. Your endorsement makes me interested in trying the service, but I have the same "nope" reaction to the non-privacy as the author of this post.
Ahhh FFS, this post is complaining about third party KYC providers. Give me a break, in what world can you get a visa or mastercard without KYC? They provide privacy not anonymity, payment privacy that is not hiding your identity privacy. Your payments are private. Your payment info can't be easily tracked across the different cards you create. That's it.

Every Summer, the State of Oregon seems to have at least one 50,000 acre fire, which is about 78 SQ miles. last few years have been more like 400,000-600,000 acres over a few very large fires.

Most of these fires are caused by lightning. Either way, its losing forests to fire, but at least the power plants the smoke is getting treated to remove particulates, filtered, etc, plus generating power.
Perhaps a bit morbid, but very realistic. Death comes for us all, even if you ignore it. By consciously forcing yourself to confront it you can reduce the chance that you'll wind up with a ton of regrets when you're old.

I agree. Yes, Ubuntu, Fedora, and openSUSE have been the big 3 for a long time, and I doubt they will go away, but Cosmic Desktop is currently the main thing I'm watching for a post-C-dominated-desktop-linux.

Ubuntu is trying to go centralized control with Snap.

Fedora is like a sibling comment says, doing just enough to coast on a desktop.

I'm using openSUSE right now, so can't complain there.

The failure to adopt Inferno in its day showed we as an industry got stuck on the unixy API and we've never managed to advance beyond that to this day.

Hi there. I'm Dave, a Java guy with crazy amounts of experience. Those "senior" roles asking for 2 to 3 years experience? Ha, I sneer at them. Try 20+ years Java experience with exposure to heaps of related tech. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty building library code, writing CloudFormation templates, making the test suite run faster, and documenting the hell out of everything.

I'm mainly looking for some kind of very hands-on staff engineer role with a larger org, or a real chance to steer the technical and social culture at an early stage startup. I can talk and write and I don't suck at either. I love to wave my hands around in front of a whiteboard (or these days Miro) while sketching out the directions our architecture will take.

If I sound like your kind of guy then there's a big heap of detail over in my LinkedIn and I would love to chat to you via the medium¹ of your choice - including in-person fika² if you're in Stockholm or thereabouts.

¹ I hear the medium is the message.

² Apparently the message is: Kannelbullar!

>I go get my flu shot every year. Why not? It's free

A lot of these decisions people base on their anecdotal experiences with it (right or wrong), including myself. I don't get it because the people in my life who do get them sometimes get really sick for a couple of days after getting it, and it still seems to be 50/50 on whether they still end up with the flu that season. Meanwhile, having had the flu a couple times in my life I know that it sucks but it's still only a couple of days of misery which I would likely get with or without the shot.

I'm also a healthy adult though, and I imagine my calculus will change as I get older and more vulnerable.
their example would be very useful in my language learning apps. anyone know more leads on similar datasets / generating these without license issue?
I think they went out of style because they weren't javascript. But many older websites still use them to create fast loading, universally supported, interactive data visualizations that JS would still struggle to match.

Oh yes, agree. Whether it's the value of real estate in Pompeii (evidently somebody failed to properly perform the rituals which ensured the favor of Vulcan), or the size of annual catches in the Atlantic northwest cod fishery (over-fishing lead to catastrophic collapse in the early 1990's), or the permanence of land in large river delta systems, or... Humans love to get together, agree on some ideas about the real world which they all like, and pressure any nay-sayers to shut up and stop hurting anyone's feelings/social standing/anticipated profits/etc.

The poor man's version of Materialize that I implemented is the following:

Step 1) Find all "paths" between tables

* Use the postgres information schema to get all relations
* Use npm library graph-cycles to see if there are any graph cycles. If so.. some relations go on a blacklist.
* Use npm library topopsort to sort the graph
* Traverse the graph and find all possible paths from and to tables
* Generate SQL queries to look up "affected" other tables. Input: table name + id Output: list of table names + ids

Step 2) Track changes in database using a transactional outbox

* Create outbox table fields: id, timestamp, event, table_name, table id, jsonb payload
* After running migrations have a script that ensures every table has triggers on insert,update,delete that would insert a row on each of these events in the outbox

Step 3) Compute ( You want to do reporting for a certain table ( target table ) which has relationships with other tables and for this table you want a "materialized" view )

* Have a script on a loop that takes all the outbox entries since last time processed
* Use the queries from step1 to find out which ids of "target table" are affected
* Then only materialize / compute those ids
* Store in Elasticsearch ( in our case )

This is not a solution if you are Facebook scale. But as a small SAAS company with not too many transactions this works brilliantly.
And with more tenants you can just scale this up by sharding the inbox.

Bonus points: have elasticsearch (ingest node) and a postgres replica on the same host as the "compute" script. So if you have a lot of queries calculating the "dependencies" you get better performance.

sorry for my terrible explanation
I dont know what the policies are now but I was an inspector for the electric company (PSE&G in north Jersey) for a few summers in college. Mostly, someone would call in about their bill being high and we'd go check and find someone had run power from their meter so they were paying for a neighbor. We'd report it, someone would come out and usually just remove the offender. I don't even think they even tried to find out where it went. As far as I know the matter was dropped at that point. No charges filed, etc. even though it was theft of some kind since it was intentional.

Maybe today with EVs there is a different approach. I don't know. Some of the things people would do not to play their electric bill were literally shocking :-)

That's how languages acquire words for foreign things, though. English also calls a certain plant "tea", because that's how the English heard the people they bought it from call it, even though in China and India they called it "cha" or "chai". English also calls a certain nation "Japan", which is quite distant from its endonymous "Nihon" or "Nippon", because that's what they heard from European explorers.

That Western Europe heard the name of a city from Russians first rather from its inhabitants is no different.
You bet. Have fun! Feel free to ask here if you have any further questions.
>It allows you to easily have a card per merchant, and lock it to the merchant so that when its number is stolen, it can't be used anywhere else.

In my experience even that can fail. I had a card number stolen from them, charged to the tune of $200+, and their support refused to even entertain the idea of it being fraud, and when I mentioned a chargeback they basically said "we don't do those, because we have contracts with vendors."

A payment stop at the bank sure worked though.
Human communication is a funny thing. We use phrases like “technical debt is bad” and everyone in the room will nod their heads and be in total agreement, but every single person in that room has a different definition of what technical debt is.

To some people it means “buggy code”. To others it means “not the way I would have written it”. Yet to others it means “code that is hard to understand”.

What it means to me could be any one of those things, but the defining factor is that there is an ongoing ‘cost’ to the code in question. What kind of cost? Usually time-based cost. It takes someone’s time to manage and handle the situation.

It could be that the code causes data inconsistencies that have to be managed by hand occasionally. It could be that frequently updated code takes 100 times as long to change as it should. It could be that the code has grown in complexity to the point that I can’t put a junior developer on it, requiring expensive personnel to maintain. It could be that it compromises the user experience, hampering user adoption.

In all of these cases, the underlying is that it costs money. Like true debt does. Which is why using the term “debt” is a perfect description. I would argue that if a piece of code is clunky, buggy, or poorly written, but has no clear impact on the business in any way, is it truly technical debt? One might argue that the person making the decision to write it that way made a pretty valuable business decision. It is like a 0% loan. Until that loan starts costing you money, you would be a fool to spend time paying it off.

And you're making the assumption that everyone has to have the same type of vehicle. There's nothing to say that the person who needs to drive 100-200mi per day needs to be using an EV. Even then, those people would likely still be fine with a Level 2 charger provided they can plug in overnight.

As for the diverse set of travel, the various DMVs and highway safety groups have done that for us. The average daily drive is under 40mi. When talking about core infrastructure here, assuming a daily drive of 40mi and basing the average charging infrastructure around would go a long way.

If EVs don't fit your life, then don't buy one. Though most people thing they drive much more often than they do, and fixate way to much on this once per week "fillup" charge idea when the daily partial charge is far more viable for the average driver.
