It took me two tries too; my first guess was "I think the problem is not as bad as fake books and worse than Amazon's fundamentally broken review system", but that didn't make sense.

The symbols < and > are being used as substitutes for the English words "less" and "more", which is not conventional at all, but is related enough to the actual meaning of the symbols that given context and a lot of effort, you can get there. I wouldn't recommend copying the notation; it conflicts pretty badly with the ordinary use of < and >.

I don't think you're necessarily talking about different things. I mean sure at the moment you take your last breath it doesn't really matter. But it sounds like this guy lived well into his late 70s with a partner, a social life and the means to enjoy retirement. That's clearly preferable to contracting some kind of cancer in your 50s, suffering emotionally and physically (and, in places like the US, financially I guess) for years before dying.

It's not something I like to think about or dwell on, however, and being overly focussed how you might die is not the best way to spend your precious time on this earth
I would say this is never healthy, even for a team of 2 people. These days merging code without at least asking for a review should be anathema for devs. Even a 'rubber stamping' review at least signifies a shared awareness of changes.
Yes, you can get that badge safely only if you adjust your project's development flow.

Is anyone talking to these friendless people one-on-one? I bet you there's a very easily spotted trend/cause that isn't explainable with anonymous surveys.

As far as I can tell, it's easier than ever before to make a close friend, for those willing. I suspect that peoples bandwidth of acceptance is narrowing with the popularization of the internet. They imagine friendship to be something other than a close bond. They've idealized it, so of course reality never matches up.

We no longer have browser toolbars. I remember a time when I had customers come in with 4, 5, or even 6 different browser toolbars. The Google toolbar, the Yahoo toolbar, the McAfee toolbar, the Because-We-Fucking-Can toolbar, etc. Most laptops came with at least one toolbar pre-installed.
I've rarely stayed with a position longer than 2 years.

For me, it's usually a simple matter of economics - why would I stay at Company A if my bonus/raise barely overcomes inflation, but Company B is offering me 50k more per year?

There's also the false advertising factor. Almost every company I've worked for has promised an exciting environment developing new things, and in reality after a few months almost all of my time is spent maintain some crusty old platform that no one wants to improve again. If I'm not getting the experience and career growth I signed up for, there's a lot less motivation to stay.

I love Kanopy, and I'm glad to see it mentioned here. However, the content you get access to varies based on which library card you use for your account. For instance, I used my university library card, and got access to some content. However my roommate used his public (non-university) library card and he has access to even more content (including way more "Great Courses" lectures--my school library hardly had any)! Needless to say he is logged in on my device. :)

You're being downvoted but this is actually good advice.

As someone who worked in domain names for 5 years, I often suggest to either use one of the historical gTLDs (com, net, info, org) or the ccTLD of your country if it's popular enough (.fr for France, .uk/.co.uk for United Kingdom, etc.)

Never use the ccTLD of a different country than yours, eligibility rules can change with very short notice. For .eu the notice was long enough but nothing guarantees it to be the case. Some trendy ccTLDs also have crappy infrastructure (.so of Somalia for example has provoked at least one outage for Notion.so).

Be very careful with newGTLDs, some of these are outright scam. There are some reliable newGTLDS (.app/.dev from Google for example, yeah, even though it's Google they have to play by ICANN's rules) but if you don't know how to determine the reliability of a newGTLD, just stick with .com/.net.
It seems the aforementioned Mikkelson Twins are acting like meta-parasites: their scam is to sell the way how to scam somebody out of money.
The civilized world must respond, no questions about that. However, the idea of "WW3" is wrong and helps the Russian regime to instigate the fears in our societies. Unfortunately, it was echoed even by some top politicians. Let's put it this way:

- Before all sanctions, the Russian economy was about the same size as the Italian economy. Russia barely has any allies: Belarus and to some extent Iran (with some vocal supporters like Venezuela or Syria, but they have nothing substantial to offer). Neither China nor India will back Russia. You can see how isolated Russia is in the United Nations (e.g. UNGA Resolution ES-11/4).
- Russia has lost most of its conventional military capacity and capability in Ukraine. Russia is nowhere near the Soviet Union with its Warsaw Pact satellites. The illusion of its mighty power was based on propaganda. To the point where Putin himself began believe his own propaganda and Russia's invincibility.
- Yet, they threaten NATO and the aligned countries. NATO is a military superpower. These countries combined (USA, EU, UK) have a population of ~1 billion people. It is also nearly a half of the world economy.

There will be no WW3.
> If the bottom line is that you hate being an employee, then it seems that being suspicious of your resume would be the correct call.

The other day I was reading a post about what specialized tooling, if any, ADHD devs used. Someone replied that they had to accept the fact that they could only work contracts because they could work on them on their own schedule.

There are plenty of reasons to hate being an employee. But someone who hates being an employee can nevertheless be a better employee than someone who doesn't.

The conception of culture in the workplace needs to die; taken to the desert and shot. You go to work to get paid. You get paid because you do work. Whether or not you hate it or love it shouldn't matter as long as those conditions are met to the satisfaction of both parties.

Putin can't win the war against Ukraine. For decades, he's struggling to make Russia into a place that's actually nice to live in - free from organised crime, with growth prospects, innovation, free media.

So instead he'll level the gap against the West by burning it. Ah no he can't do that, he'll go around cutting cables and blowing up pipes.

That is what I thought as well and I similarly discounted the likelihood that Russia did this but I have changed my opinion on this particularly because I don't think Germany is actually going to run into (a lot of) trouble this Winter and probably also not next winter. And if Russia agrees that this is likely to be the case and also that there is not likely going to be gas deliveries through North Stream in the coming years then destroying it could at least serve the purpose of increasing doubt and creating uncertainty especially if it could be pinned on other actors (i.e. the US).

Here is why I think Germany will be relatively ok:

German source on Zeit.de showing gas deliveries from other countries making up a big chunk of Russian deliveries and German gas reserves being almost full and gas demand being ~25% under the average demand in the past years (probably largely due to the price of course). https://www.zeit.de/wirtschaft/energiemonitor-deutschland-ga...

Additionally LNG terminals are due to come live in December (if there won't be delays).
>We built this stuff.

I think a lot of engineers would prefer to not build this stuff, and are even ideologically opposed to its existence. But there is always another engineer struggling to make ends meet who will commit the code. There is little collective support within the professional engineering space to stand behind ethics in tech; moneyed interests are not just oblivious, but diametrically opposed to it.

Higher prices on the open market yes, but not enough to offset the volume loss. A good chunk of new volume is sold to China, which buys at staggering discounts (as high as 50% over market rates).
I don't think legality is a significant part of the problem – I simply doubt there is really a lot to make regardless of legality.

Most get-rich-quick schemes are really either “make a few pennies here or there, a few $/€/£ if you are lucky, a few 100 if very lucky” or “make-a-bit-slowly-with-lots-of-effort” or both. The rest not included in that “most” are even more completely bunkum, you'll never make anything unless maybe you join the pyramid and resell the scheme.

There is more easy money to be made selling make-money-easily schemes to those that lack critical thinking, than there is to be made via the schemes themselves. Even if no one you sell the scheme to makes anything, even if they all make a loss in the grand scheme of things, the scheme seller still has some revenue.

A scheme seeming illegal/immoral/both might make some marks easier to catch, as they think they are being clever by knowing that crime does in fact sometimes pay so their guard is further lowered due to confirmation bias on this matter.

Ivermectin was never Russian misinformation. There were a huge number of studies showing that giving people Ivermectin improved their COVID outcomes. It just turned out that the important variable was whether their area had high background rates of parasite infection. There are large swathes of the world where giving someone Ivermectin on first COVID symptoms is a good strategy for giving them a better chance with the disease, and that isn't really open to question.

It just happens that Ivermectin doesn't do anything directly, and the people who were promoting it were evidence-based rather than correct. If Russia's "misinformation" is providing large amounts of true evidence then we need more of that.
Windows is fine if you do the install yourself, but every major device manufacturer does this to some extent.

When you issue a computer for work IT will almost always, without fail, emulate this by installing a bunch of their own junk spyware and “security” software.

Reviewers of laptops do a fresh install of Windows before reviewing like that is normal consumer behavior.

From a succession perspective I can see the argument. That said, he has limited his own options. For this whole time, Putin has tried to negotiate, the gas with sanctions lifting and stopping ukraine help from europe. He has lost his only leverage. It would make more sense that the US or ukraine did it, in order to corner russia.
It's all very odd. To me there are two telling things:

- Russia was very unbothered on day 1 of the explosion. Surely, someone blowing up _their_ pipe would have them up in arms about it? But no.

- It was the same day as the opening of a key pipeline between Norway and Poland. Feels like a "you think you have energy security?" moment.

That's my experience as well. So if you need a cheap Windows laptop, a used corporate class laptop is often a better path than a cheap new consumer class one.
Why do people insist that "security" is binary, i.e. something is either secure or not? A residential building has way less security than a military base, yet can be consider secured while the base not.

The article points to one of the core equations every business should embrace: `cost_of_risk = unit_probability * unit_impact`.

If some measure can improve security metrics (time to discover, time to break, skill/power to break, etc.) then it can be considered a security measure. SSH server running on non-default port is not much more secure than otherwise equal server, but probability of random attack is lower.

> you've already done more work than it takes to actually secure your site

Finding and plugging RCE holes in every dependency you have deployed is way harder than making the host less discoverable. If running security-patched software, having non-default, hard to guess passwords are security measures that lead to lower chance of exploitation, why can't non-default, hard to discover hostnames/ports be considered security measures if they do reduce likelihood of exploitation? Relying solely on `apt upgrade` is similarly insecure as merely exposing software on non-default ports.

While I think VC is a culprit of this phenomenon, look at established institutions like Microsoft, Lenovo... still injecting ads and bloatware for decades and laughing all the way to the bank. I think this transcends any recent trends in startup funding.

"Just get a Macbook" isn't really a solution. Sub-1000€ customer grade hardware is plenty capable for a lot of tasks people might want, and some other users want the ability to run the OS of their choice too.

> I don't think the word "pythonic" is applicable outside of code.

I view it quite differently. Like TSDoc for TypeScript or Ruby-Doc for Ruby, there's Sphinx for Python. Using a general-purpose static site generator for Python docs feels just wrong, like you wouldn't use Wix instead of rustdoc for a Rust crate... But maybe that's just me.

> I used Sphinx for years, but mkdocs produces far better docs. Especially when combined with mkdocs-material.

IMO humans write the docs, not Sphinx or mkdocs, and human approach is what ultimately determines whether the docs are good. From this perspective Textual can absolutely have good docs, and especially since they mentioned Django as the inspiration I'm reasonably sure they will.

However, the use of documentation builder can affect how easy it is to achieve certain niceties: Sphinx with autodoc, for example, offers direct links from docs to implementation and cross-package document linking. The builder can introduce useful syntax sugar and salt: Sphinx+RST, for example, subtly encourages proper "rich" linking to actual Python units rather than using dumb identifiers everywhere (see single backtick behavior in RST vs. Markdown), which in turn forces you to write better docs (you must document units you want to cross-reference or you'll see warnings during doc generation) and think about structuring API in a way that makes it easier to document and maintain that documentation.

(On that note, I haven't seen a project anything that paralleled Django documentation by all metrics, and that one is built using Sphinx.)

So while the docs can be great regardless the choice of a build system in case of Textual IMO still breaks the familiarity pattern for Python documentation readers and contributors, breaks interoperability within Python ecosystem (no links to source or to/from third-party packages), and goes with a more limited markup language than RST for no obvious (to me) reason.
This requires you to have at least 50% free space, right?

At which point fragmentation usually isn't that big of a deal. But sure, if you add enough new storage it works.
