But that would be a criminal trial. This was a civil trial. I'm not even American and I understand the difference! The two processes work completely differently, and comparing them like this doesn't make sense.

As to the points you've made:

* Default judgment: If you repeatedly do not show up for a trial, then at a certain point the trial needs to still continue. You should not be able to indefinitely put off a case just by refusing to turn up. If this were a criminal case, Jones would be forced to be there, as it's a civil case this is the alternative (as I understand it).

* Not having evidence: would work a lot better as a defence if (a) you genuinely contested it, and (b) you didn't send all the evidence that you supposedly couldn't find to the opposition lawyer halfway through the case by accident

* The civil case was split into two parts: one to determine fault, and the other to determine damages. As previously mentioned, Jones refused to take part in the trial that would have determined whether he was guilty or not, and therefore a default judgement was given. If he wanted to claim he was innocent, he should have done it then. Again, this is, as I understand it, standard practice for a civil trial.

* During a discussion of how much damages you should pay, given you were found guilty, you cannot argue to the jury that you are innocent. This has already been decided - typically with your involvement, assuming you don't just refuse to turn up - so this is just not in question any more.
As is synthesizing meth. Yet if you want it it's always within a few blocks distance. Imagine if you had a meth buyback. Same thing. The war on alcohol didn't work, the war on drugs didn't work, now we think the war on firearms will work. Politics has to have some demon to point at so voters will give away more power.
I'm curious what you would suggest with very fine bubbles such as found in Krug? Most Champagnes and for sure any American sparkling wines are lacking even when produced via méthode traditionnelle. I would love to find something similar that was substantially more affordable to make it more than a once every 5 years sort of thing.
The Serializer class is the worst frameworky piece I know of. These are basically classes which force you to use overridden methods to link HTTP with DB operations. Requires tons of hacks to work around all the time.

And just cuz it’s optional doesn’t mean it’s not frameworky. A solid platform just wouldn’t offer any frameworky elements.
> the responsible having financially exploited the situation.

This has nothing to do with the lawsuit. It's not a defamation claim; it's not a damages claim. You'd have to make a claim for unjust enrichment.
> in the years since then the large-scale mass-producers have gotten much better at making better quality wine in bulk and the difference today is much less than it was decades ago.

This has probably worked out well for consumers when it comes to wines, but for products more generally, I suspect this effect has also driven quality down to give us a very wide but mediocre average. As everything became designed to be made inexpensively and mass-produced at greater scale products at the lower end have become better, but mid-higher end products have gotten worse than in previous decades.
It was a little more complicated as to whether the priests (and other astronomers) knew he was right.

Heliocentrism made a specific prediction of parallax --- namely that the stars would move back and forth over the course of a year. But this wasn't observed which is one of the main reasons that many astronomers remained skeptical of the idea. Tycho Brahe proposed an alternative model that adopted many of the advantages of heliocentrism but didn't have the parallax problem. In his theory all the planets revolved around the Sun, but the Sun revolved around the Earth.

Of course it turned out that the stars were much, much further away than anyone expected, so the parallax effect was too small to be seen until the 19th century.

But your broader point is correct, Galileo's troubles were brought about more due to his political indiscretions than his astronomy per se.
Wait a sysadmin can't turn off a ssh server? you might want to fire him very quickly if they can't handle that.
Stable ABI and compatibility in each line ... and when you want new/more features - you upgrade to newer branch. Newer branch can also have some features removed like some old telnetd(8) or things like that - if for some reason you use/implemented them and still need them - you should stick to your currently used line (like 12.x) and with update from 12.3 to 12.4 these features will still be there for you.

There are also compat packages in pkg(8) repository - which you can use to have FreeBSD 12.x compatibility on FreeBSD 13.x for example. Thanks to the you do not need to recompile/reinstall your packages after upgrade from 12.x to 13.x for example:

% pkg search compat | awk '/Con/ {print $1}'
compat10x-amd64-10.4.1004000.20181014
compat11x-amd64-11.2.1102000.20181014
compat12x-amd64-12.2.1202000.20210406
compat4x-i386-5.3_11
compat5x-amd64-5.4.0.8.1_1
compat6x-amd64-6.4.604000.200810_3
compat7x-amd64-7.4.704000.201310.1
compat8x-amd64-8.4.804000.20151116
compat9x-amd64-9.3.903000.20170608

Is this model better then LTS model? Its quite similar I would say. You have LTS with incremental updates or you have for example FreeBSD 12.x with security patches and 'major' upgrades with 12.1, then 12.2 etc.

The better thing in the FreeBSD world is that pkg(8) packages are ALWAYS up to date (or upstream) while the FreeBSD base system (12.x or 13.x) remains at what it is. This way you can stay on your prefered supported FreeBSD version and still have latest software with pkg(8). This is simply not possible on Ubnutu LTS or RHEL systems where packages are outdated and old very quickly.

Hope that helps.
Some counterpoints and personal experience:

> 3. If you have a small team that hires slowly, it's relatively straightforward to bring new devs up to speed on "the way we do things." if you are hiring rapidly and/or have a large team, the more bespoke things you have, the harder it is to maintain them.

I disagree that framework or no-framework is the distinguishing characteristic. I do think that the quality of the code base, documentation, and onboarding plays a role in how fast devs get onboarded. Anecdotally, the only framework-based projects I've signed on to ended up incurring more onboarding time because I had to learn the framework, how the framework does things, and then how the team does things in the framework. All of this "how" is a step before "why", of which, every step eventually needs to be repeated over the course of my tenure in order to be successful.

> 4. Over time, everything degrades. In the long run, many framework-free applications either get walled off as "legacy" apps with new work done in separate services, or replaced outright. If it makes you money before that happens, you win. It is not necessary to try to design architecture that will last for centuries.

I've personally never seen this in any language except Java. Spring might as well be Java at many companies. The bespoke applications stay around, in my experience, because:

- They exactly match the business requirement and that requirement doesn't change much

- People don't know how to work on them or the product has little funding, probably because of the above reason

- The company has hired a team to maintain the product that have not moved

I've also seen where companies try to replace something bespoke with something written in a framework where the budget expands multiple years in a row and the project never completes because it's impossible to make the framework do what the bespoke product did completely.

> 5. My last and--to me the most significant--observation is this: You want to pay the majority of your attention to the code that has the greatest impact on your desired outcomes.

To me, this reads as, "we should spend the majority of the time focusing on our core competencies". I've heard this time and time again in this industry and no matter what way I've heard it explained I've never liked it. Businesses that only stay in their core competency, or narrowly define their competency, often stagnate with time. There's a lot less opportunity for organic business growth with that mindset. They'll also have little expertise to solve problems as they scale, other than through purchasing, because they only have knowledge that serves their core competency. The businesses I've seen become most successful alongside strong technical success were businesses that encouraged employees to innovate and experiment in new ways on a rhythm, allowing that innovation to inspire and percolate when it finds a strong usecase.
Failing companies always blame things on the macro environment.
Hospitals push them onto patients, basically either you have to give away some of your most fundamental rights or potentially die of sickness.

Unless I'm missing something these sort of license laws only apply to providing services to other people. So cut your own hair, diasgnos your own illness, build your own kitchen, etc. but do it for someone else, especially for money, and you need a license.

As far as drawing maps goes I don't see it as any less worthy than other things we regulate. Boundaries tend to be important and those doing so for money should probably demonstrate a basic level of competence.
There's a difference, in that discussing the law and the implications of it are things we expect people to do constantly and not just by lawyers. For instance, I'm sure a lot of discussions in Wall Street around the contract Musk signed for Twitter were done by non-lawyers.

I do not think that such a disclaimer would help if we were talking about your, djoldman's, plea bargain negotiations.

Meta should just buy SL, or Roblocks, they really missed out on minecraft.
As I said, everyone I know is on apple so no I don’t notice the difference. I have seen a couple occasional when non Apple users are on a group text and it breaks some things.

I can totally see how teens are judging each other on this. They’re judgmental creatures in search of social cues to judge you on. Having android is analogous to wearing cheap Walmart clothes in my day. You’re social clout takes a huge hit.

I get it and have empathy, but no solutions as I really think it’s kids being kids and I don’t think Apple as a business should be regulated towards an open protocol (only actual solution).

I’ll never know what it’s like to be a teen that texts or has a smart phone because I didn’t experience it. But I hear teens don’t care about cars these days and that was a crucial part of being a teen with a thriving social life where/when I grew up. You’d get teased for not having one or having a old/ugly one. You were excluded from social activities if you couldn’t find transportation. You couldn’t take someone out on a date and it actually impacted whether you were even worth dating. And, it was very expensive for a teenager.

The difference with adults is we don’t give each other a hard time about it. Or too much anyways. We will however absolutely refuse to use whatever app you ask us to if we’re am not using it already. We’re also probably not using it already. Most of us bought iPhone at the beginning and have never really considered anything else. That’s why we’ve owned so many of their phones.

I’m not European but I find the idea that I should accept I have to context switch between apps based on who I’m talking to be insane. All my texting is in one app, just like email, phone, maps, etc. I might be simplistic but apps are pretty sticky for me once I choose a default for _activity_. I might be wrong, but if I remember correctly the reason the texting apps exploded over there was because you all had bad or expensive SMS originally. iMessage didn’t exist until 2011/iOS 5 and was likely Apple’s response from competition from rapidly growing companies like WhatsApp.
I'm experiencing this with Laravel. I'm stuck on 5.2 while they're on v9 now because the author thought it would be a good idea to arbitrarily change some method signatures because he regretted his decisions earlier, while not providing any additional value and I don't have the time to hunt all these down and refactor everything, and I feel unmotivated when he's made it clear he's a bad steward. He refused semver for the longest time, not sure if they're using it now but even if so, 4 more major breaks is not encouraging
They have ACLs. You can use those. Then don't enable Taildrop on certain machines.

The enterprise option is nifty. I'm gonna use it for my next startup. I find it to be pretty freaking amazing. But if you're suggesting that having an open port on a secure connection is dangerous... well that's why you have a secure connection. So just use ACLs to restrict access to machines you shouldn't have access to. And you can do it by port. Is there something I'm missing?
The message you send to the rest of your staff if you let them vest is: I no longer have to work hard, I can slack off and get another job, have some future equity.
The message you send if you just fire without vesting to the rest of the staff is "watch out if I don't like you I will extract work out of them and fire you to avoid vesting.
Both are hogwash.
You are in charge.
That does not automatically make you Mr Nice GUY to all your staff.(though I would hope you are)

Presumably you have employment contracts setting out conditions.
Follow the contract.
Get legal advice. Fire immediately and let them do their worst.

If your employment contract didn't cover confidentiality then more fool you.

If the employment contact allows, fire the guy now, make it a condition of his termination that his/her 'vest" will happen but be held in trust for 6 months subject to conditions of confidentiality etc.
The implication was that these anecdata tales exist on both sides, especially one of just ONE singular anecdote.

12.4 and 13.2 are "snapshot" releases: https://www.freebsd.org/snapshots/

TLDR;

Snapshots are interim test releases. Not intended for production systems.

14.0 won't have a release until next year, but they added it to the list of upcoming releases on the web page so you can click on the link and see what the release schedule really is: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.0R/schedule/

12.3 is the most recent release from the stable/12 branch. 13.1 is the most recent release from the stable/13 branch. Both are production releases. If you don't need features in 13.x, you may want to consider using 12.y. 12.y will have had more time for bugs to be reported and fixed, but will have fewer new features.

So... I believe the simple answer is there's always an older and a newer production release available. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeBSD_version_history has a nice graphic of how long each release is supported. For the past decade, a new major version of FreeBSD has been released about every two years, which is about the cadence Canonical releases a new LTS.
You'd also be on the hook for the costs of any associated medical care, seeing eye dogs, etc. I believe I mentioned this:

I'm not sure why you think MPA is somehow inherently slower than a SPA

For a complex application, data has to load in from the server on every page load – it can't simply be all bundled into the js.

In eBay's case, a MPA using their own custom framework makes sense, as they do async rendering (e.g. you can load and show the most important data in the page quickly, while ancilliary stuff can load afterwards) and partial hydration (so if a component doesn't require js, no js loads/runs)
The whole point of UBI is that it's designed to preserve capitalism, it keeps people consuming and spending in the face of massive automation and job loss, because if masses of people are out of work and hungry, you will get a real revolution.

UBI keeps the means of production in the hands of those who already hold them.
It varies. Here, it seems everybody knows somebody that died from it in the early days. Omicron seems to be a lot easier on people than the earlier versions were.

If library is deprecated. You replace the library.

If framework is deprecated. You give up the project or rewrite 'everything' to use another framework because essentially your project is build on it.

That's the difference.

If you make abstract to make it suitable to port to another framework. Then you are writing yet another framework on the top of a framework. In my opinion, it's even worse.
Configuring DNS in general was there before, but there are a couple of NextDNS-specific things that went live: automatically using DoH when using NextDNS, setting profiles on a per-device basis so you can vary what things are blocked or not, and optionally sending client info to NextDNS so that your NextDNS dashboard gives you a better picture of what devices are querying what.

And there's a little UI polish coming for the admin panel to show NextDNS configuration a bit more cleanly, but that's not live yet.

Usually standards will have holes. Therefore, it is necessary to ask: what happens when a competing standard notices a hole in the current standard? In this case, it is better to have a reference implementation, matching which, the competing implementation should have programs that depend on the standard to continue to work.

Therefore, tying a standard to a reference implementation, especially one as reputed as SQLite, might not have been a bad outcome overall.
I omitted the Xanax entirely from my previous post because the polypharmacy here is such a mess, but I agree that it probably factors into disinhibition. I don't personally attribute much relevance to modafinil in this instance; while the wakefulness effects are often described mechanistically through dopamine, I have never seen anyone experience any traditional stimulant or dopamine agonist effects from modafinil.

My only experience with pramipexole and cabergoline are for low dose off-label use in persistent sexual dysfunction after the discontinuation of SSRI medication. The biggest difference I have seen between them is a much higher rate of discontinuation due to side effects (extreme tiredness) for pramipexole.
