Lets talk about Gavin Newsom's opponent then. Here's a fairly positive summary.

https://www.ocregister.com/2022/07/05/something-different-ca...

> His plan to beat Newsom is to focus on what he thinks are the real problems people care about — record high gas prices, rising crime and the state’s high cost-of-living

Gas prices is completely outside his control, mere focus on increasing penalties has little effect on crime which is committed by people with poor impulse control and worse analytical skills who don't think they will be punished, and high rent prices can only meaningfully by impacted by either making fewer people want to live in California or building substantially more housing people can actually afford. In urban areas this usually means building UP in areas where people feel like such change would ruin the "character" of the area something that nobody in power meaningfully does because it would take a short time to ruin your popularity and a long time to provide meaningful results.

As far as I can see they in the unlikely event he won we would be electing a farmer people feel like they could have a beer with to make the right sort of sounds while making no meaningful difference in any of his issues.

It's strange that its cited as a positive that he doesn't buy into Trump's election lie. It's like saying our man Brian not only does he go to church every Sunday he doesn't even eat babies! I mean kudos I suppose but he still voted for Trump who despite standing behind the Republican banner stood for corruption, excess, constant lies, immorality and lest we forget an armed attempt to replace our democracy with fascism and despite all the warning signs he still got our man Brian's vote because no matter how ethically Brian lives his own life he's not wise enough to be a good man because given a choice he demonstrably picks party over every other concern. Let him be a good farmer or even a good rep for his folks. He would be a bad person as a governor.

In all probability twitter isn't even putting its finger on the scale here you just phrased your ad in a way that twitter took at fraudulent instead of satire.

When we look at whether we think it's OK for Twitter to put its finger on the scale we are looking at a fundamental problem with morality. Shall we attempt to decide on universal rules or shall we consider each case and weigh the possible outcomes.

The former case is by far the most desirable but inevitably leads to absurdity. We are I think in a pivotal moment in our history where we the most powerful militarily and economically choose between continuing on as a democracy and turning into a fascist empire. Even Republicans who don't support such are uniquely poorly positioned to resist a move in that direction because even a fraction of their base defecting is liable to deprive them of the opportunity to prosper within their party and the same is true of the broader party's success in America as a whole.

At this critical moment you are choosing at best to promote the corruptible and regardless of what you think about Brian as a person I think you ought to re-evaluate your position.
This may sound trite, but that follows from the definition of "novelty".
I can think of nothing more nightmarish then living in a multistory apartment building

why is that? bad neighbors?

maybe the problem is our culture of selfishness and lack of tolerance and respect? (and by that i mean your neighbors that are causing you trouble, not asking you to tolerate that trouble)

i have lived in multi story buildings all my life in different countries. and never had issues with neighbors. i hardly ever see them. really, the only difference between an apartment and a single family house to me was access to a garden. and in a single family house i have to deal with neighbors too. so i really don't understand what your problem is there.

people have preferences. sure. my preference is to live close to shopping and culture, and my friends, and access to public transport without needing a car to go anywhere.

if i wanted to get away from neighbors i would move to the countryside where the next neighbor is a mile away. but that is no longer a city. suburban life to me is the worst of both worlds. (and i have lived that too, so i speak from experience on both)

the reason the free market does not solve problems is that the free market is not fair. in a free market the strong have an advantage at the expense of the weak.

slums are caused by a free market. to eliminate poverty, intervention is necessary.
if an intervention fails then that's because maybe it is the wrong kind of intervention. and with that we are at the problem of figuring out how to make life better for everyone, which is a question of education, the will to make things better for others, and again respect and tolerance and giving everyone a voice, aka democracy.
It'd be interesting to see how a daily commute compares to a once a quarter flight. I used to drive 40 miles a day in my commute. Roughly 10k miles/yr. A flight to a centrally located place in the US will be about 3k round trip if everyone lives on the coasts (worst case scenario). Are 3k air miles better or worse than 10k car miles?

Your point still stands but the noise here is effectively a higher frequency modulation of the base AC oscillation.

In other words, the base oscillation of 50 or 60 Hz is not stable, but instead varies a little above and a little below at higher rates.

The magnitude is significantly lower than the base mains frequency. So possibly not audible above any other noise in the recording, but present nonetheless.
That depends on how you define proficent.

This month I have programmed in the following languages:

D, ECMAscript, python, php, bash, c/c++, Java, powershell, and groovy.

There are other langues I use. as for how? Most of what to do in each language is the same, the Languages just change how you go about doing it. Most of the difference is the keywords and syntax. the tasks you are writing out are the same or similar, with some features of languages making certain parts easier.
I'm right handed, but probably due in part to having played violin and guitar as a youth, I use my left side for many tasks. When I was about 10 or so and starting to get into basketball, someone suggested I should learn to shoot the ball left handed, so that I could efficiently drive to either side of the court as though it were my dominant side.

Interestingly, my youngest daughter is completely ambidextrous. She switches off between her two sides without even realizing she's doing it. We were playing mini-golf this summer and she would casually switch depending on the hole. She's not yet a switch-hitter in softball, but I suspect that could happen at some point.
Yes it’s the same course but the course changes and it’s from a few years ago. I’ve explored it through oreilly and with a live workshop and bill Kennedy is amazing in person. High recommend both.
Band-Aid, Bubble Wrap, Aspirin and many alike aren't generic either, but we use them as generic names. The same applies to Unix. Nobody means "V7 UNIX" or "Only OS implementations that conform to Open Group's standards" when they say "Minix is a Unix". They just mean "conforming to the original Unix design philosophy, as in file system structure, command-line tools, and process management". As I understand, Open Group's approval's just corporate politics to get permission for using the term "Unix" in marketing materials for enterprise customers, nothing else.

You can argue all you want that Minix (the most popular Unix in existence) or Ubuntu (most popular Linux distro in existence) aren't Unix. They're Unix. They're probably more Unix than most Unices on that list. Some company owning the brand and enforcing some arbitrary licensing scheme doesn't change that.
As someone who has spent time on Vincent's mumble years ago, he is definitely at least fascist adjacent.

And his use of slurs is by no means ironic, unless you want to claim he is ironic 100% of the time he is online.
Inside one is pretty pornografic, isn't it.
Welcome to the world where every word hurts someone's feelings.
I'm right-hand dominant.

It's easy to rotate the water counter-clockwise with either hand.

It's easy to rotate the water clockwise with my left hand, but a bit harder to do with my right hand.
I'd say that's better then the C way, where every projects Implements their own version of a linked list, json parser and so on, no?
I am fully aware of that and that is why I wrote it the way I did. As in, you are quoting just one part, leaving out the most important part of that sentence:

Back in the day some of that

This implies a time at which at least the mother (in-law) was probably a stay at home mom. Please take note of the word probably. Yes there are and always were exceptions. It's about likelihoods and how societal norms and such have shifted over time. In fact we should probably add "and/or grand parents". And while at it also making extra sure this isn't mis-understood as an absolute or a "current situation" statement: "or living very close by" vs. today where you're more likely to live further apart.
You sure can. This is developer sample code, rather than something a typical user would use.
To be perfectly honest, I flagged it because of the knowledge gained graph. It's a wild extrapolation.

For context, I was a big fan of SRS and even contributed to Anki back in the day! I was really into foreign language learning, had majored in one language and was learning another language in a separate language family.

I built, ran and put my heart into brick and mortar language immersion school for years. Over time, I realized both from my learning experiences and those of my students that SRS fell far short of extensive reading.

It's tempting to break things down to "units of information", as you put it your assumptions document. SRS is great for decontextualized information (e.g., memorizing all the capital cities in the world), but that's not really how language works or how the brain works for most learning tasks. There are higher-level things your brain picks up, such as collocations, grammar and shared cultural beliefs.

Over the short term, SRS can be useful for building a scaffold to work from, but over the long term, Extensive Reading crushes it on pretty much every metric, including raw size of passive and active vocabulary.
What we’ve been doing that has worked well for the last 2.5 years:

1. We do a weekly team meeting that has an open Q&A element to it. Whenever someone new joins the team, we ask them to do a self-intro sharing hobbies and interests and also a teardown or repair of an electronics product (really specific to us).

2. For regions where we have clusters of people, we bring them together occasionally for work and social activities.

3. We do regular workshops where we bring people together in person, with most of the time not covered by a set meeting agenda. This is massively useful for empathy-building and makes us more effective when remote.

4. We’ve reached a scale where we’re now also introducing random match 1:1s bi-weekly for people to connect with others who they normally wouldn’t (folks can opt out if they want to, but nobody has).

You might note that none of these activities (except the teardown) are deliberate culture-builders, but are instead about connection and empathy building. With connections and empathy, you have the scaffolding to make culture stick.
No, political corruption by fossil fuel industry is the problem. There is overwhelming public support for more action on climate change. Politicians who told you climate change was the most important problem consistently behave contrary to those claims. That's what it comes down to.

There are also a bunch of people who don't want it. They're not the problem though because at times when their politicians did not hold enough power to prevent action, there was still no action. Pretty simple test there.

If any segment of the public "need education" about the issue before something meaningful will be done, it is actually the voters who support climate change, and what they need to be educated on is the fact that their politicians are failing them and must be held to account.
This smells of "old, entrenched interests fighting against a disruptive innovation". Remote work is the future for the tech industry. Whether or not the current generation of leaders want to believe it is immaterial. We've proven that it works, and that many people prefer it.

- Someone who works remotely and will never live in an urban pod, or waste my time on a commute, ever again.
After 10 years of writing software for a living I still don't get this. Why vim/emacs and not Intellij (for instance?). What do you mean magical - I want a powerful tool to help me edit code...
So much this. People learn so much better when that knowledge is functionally applied as part of a goal they want to achieve, and that also teaches people to be doers who can follow through with a project. Too bad it take more teacher skill and student freedom, and it's not good for producing factory drones.
> If I don't support these things, or wish to take away their funding due to my displeasure with the service received I could do that if they were private

Yeah, you could just 'take away its funding' and just do away with the military in a private environment. Which brings us to...

> Like all socialists, you are the delirious one

...the delirium of thinking that you would be able to keep your freedom and agency at the moment which you lose that socially-funded, democratically controlled military after you take its funding away in a private market environment. Which will make you immediately a subject of the richest man who did not take away the funding of the military outfit he supports.

> All taxes are evil.

The people from the country that kills its people when they cant pay for healthcare is telling us that all taxes are evil, even as their very infrastructure collapses.

THAT is delirium. Nothing else.
Yes!

I feel like so much criticism of NPM comes from either people who've only ever used NPM, or people who haven't used NPM and just saw a big node_modules once.

A common one in work is Java devs criticising the huge node_modules folder but not realising that .m2 exists as their IDE handles it for them "by magic".
It's mostly "obvious" and you seem to already understand that, but it does take support from top to bottom of the organization. ex: ensure communication channels exist (mailing lists, slack/irc/etc); enable, encourage, and allow "water cooler" sort of discussions to occur on same; allow folks who don't wish to participate in those to opt out in some manner; periodic in-person meetings with work and "fun" team-building activities; zoom/video really should not be overused but good luck getting folks to understand that. MySQL (the company) did this very well; some of its offshoots have done it well occasionally.
Exactly. Pay me well and let me choose who to be friends with and how to spend that money. I used to work at a company that told you how much all their culture spend was per employee it was eye watering they could have doubled everyone's salary and had a much happier workforce.
Does anyone know how can I join the org team?
> As far as I understand, he showed up to Congress and did a Hitlergrüße (Nazi salute) to their security. In Germany that is illegal and arrestable, so he should actually be grateful they only kicked him out and did not call the police.

This is simply not true. Before the C3 took place, Michael required Vincent to remove all the unfunny stuff from his website to be able to register an assembly for C3. However, Vincent did not agree to this, so he didn't register an assembly.

Then, during C3 on the 27th Dec, Vincent sent out a tweet that he's on C3, and so he and a few users of his email service met informally, but not as a cock.li assembly. It wasn't a huge crowd, I think like 5 people(?).

Michael then approached Vincent and said, that he wouldn't be allowed on the premise. Vincent then offered to take it to the Arbitration Board, which was specifically set up for situations like this: When someone experiences sexism/racism or discrimination of any kind, they should take it to the AB, where the awareness team tries to find a mutually agreeable solution. Michael didn't like this proposal and just told him to leave within the next 5 Minutes.

Apparently the short-haired girl, which was following Michael, did not want to wait 5 Minutes. That's when Vincent sent an audio recording to himself and switched to video recording. That's what you see in the first post I made.

The phone which Vincent used for recording was seized by security. However, confiscating cameras or camera phones is the sole responsibility of the police or the bailiff. Stewards and security guards are not allowed to do that.

> Germany has very strict laws against video-recording people without their consent, so creating this video would be considered another crime.

This isn't true either. You are allowed to record if you have legitimate interests in recording the current event, e.g. when a friend gets knocked down to the floor by other people, as the others would be free to leave the scene if they really wanted to. However, you are not allowed to release the footage to a public forum without the consent of the party that displays the helplessness.
Might be some memetic cultural thing from that period, such that most everyone knew what that meant—but it was lost in time.
Consumers are informed, and they say “no” when given the choice.

That's the point. If your position is that consumers don't want tracking and that it's harmful on balance, then just ban it altogether rather than incentivizing sites to use dark patterns to trick users into "agreeing".

It's a simulator, works like a charm. The next version is going to be based on workerd, the actual Cloudflare runtime which they recently open-sourced.
That's not much different than informing your followers with your new Twitter profile link, is it?
Oh, fuck off. I am one of those people, I have been for the last 15 years. And I believe I have the right to go peacefully when I decide to. That others force me to suffer because they might be sad is incredibly selfish of them. So take your condescending shit somewhere where you have any clue in what you're talking about.
That wouldn't work for me. Too hackable.

I need at least something like this:

I’ll agree with this except that if this is your attitude you shouldn’t expect to enjoy working at a company that does value co-workers talking about non-work things. Some companies don’t think it’s OK to only do work things at work and it sounds like the OP prefers to work at a company like that.
Has anyone tried Paddle[1] both by integration and customer support?

I have been looking at it for my future projects for quite some time.

Fees seems to be a bit higher, but it also has both CC and PayPal integrations and can take care of the taxes.

No one buying this is giving a SWE an afternoon. The pitch is consulting companies will probably buy a handful of dev units, pitch projects to industry partners, then sell them 7-figure custom software projects and the client also buys a few dozen headsets. The addressable market is very small, but they'd expect small number of lucrative deals from customers that have R&D budgets. Engineering isn't even the bottleneck to any of this, it's design.
My comment unintentionally sounded like I was talking about all the other Americans. I meant to say most of us in the middle class. I am acutely aware that poverty in the US is real. When I talk to my academic friends in Europe and we compare salaries (it's quite common to do that because in the US our salaries are public if we work in state universities), we usually come out with the conclusion that in the US we have a lot more liquidity after accounting for pension, medical, housing, and other expenses.
(I think I'm understanding you correctly, if not, please let me know)

20 years is a long enough time that anything could happen, but I don't personally see it. The main thing is not size, it's keeping things updated.

You give Wikipedia as an example, the issue is not how big it is currently, but that it's constantly updating and evolving, so you either eat the cost of update every time you open the application, or you eat it when you load specific pages (and if you do that, you may as well just have a web browser).

And that same scenario will happen with most of the examples: Amazon with products/pricing, StackOverflow with questions/answers, OSM with routes/businesses. I just don't see why it would be better to store these things locally when, in Amazons case, I may only ever want to see a certain number of products.

My personal expectation is that hardware will get so tremendously good that software developers are able to be even lazier, meaning software still feels as slow as it always has.
I’m sincere. Engaging in racial discrimination does not fix racism. It perpetuates it.

It blows my mind that I have to state this in the current year. We have regressed so far.
Counterintuitive Statistics: A Coin Game
This stuff could be picked up in internships and apprenticeships, though in a lot of cases the state of the art is quite far beyond that, so you'd need to join a hobbyist club to really get that sort of experience. Hacker/maker spaces often have outreach events, and builder fairs are good for reaching out as well.
There are a few e-ink note taking devices. They pride themselves on feeling like paper, but they're far more expensive than a notebook and offer trade-offs rather than clear advantages.

For example, is using a text search on an e-ink device better than knowing "I wrote this down in the first 1/3rd of the notebook on the page with a coffee stain". Maybe? Maybe not. It's a trade-off. A physical notebook and an e-notebook both offer different ways of indexing, searching, and remembering where things are. One is not clearly superior to the other in this respect.

These e-ink devices have left a clear advantage they could claim unrealized.

I want an e-ink notepad where I can turn my notes into spaced repetition. I want to take hand written notes, proven to improve memory, and then I want to blot out portions of the page and have those blotted out portions be presented to me by a spaced repetition algorithm to help me remember my own hand written notes.

I'd pay a lot for such a dedicated device. Getting hand written notes and images into Anki or other spaced repetition programs sucks. I'd love to just be able to write or draw, with my own hand, and easily integrate with a spaced repetition algorithm. This is valuable enough that I'd happily use a dedicated device just for this purpose.
that’s the conclusion I have come to as well. Ubiquiti AP and pfsense router.

I’d love a OpenWRT or similar box, but I don’t want to spend 10 hours researching the correct device to buy. I want stuff that just works…
