Old laptops are cheap. And piracy is non-issue. Learning to program is not rocket science. And that is pretty easy to learn too nowadays, just a bit harder to practice.

Many of the subsistence farmers have a crapton of knowledge about their environment and how to make stuff grow. Many of them are pretty good at basic redneck engineering too. That's a pretty good background to get hold of basic programming which is not that far off.

This is advice if you think your employer is going to try firing you for cause so they don't need to pay a severance. When they're trying to do that your manager will try to have more face to face meetings so none of the discussions are recorded. Then they will send some e-mails to their manager with some colored description of what took place. For instance they'll say your productivity dropped or you're mismanaging your time because you didn't work on project A but in your one-on-one they explicitly told you to stop working on project A and instead focus on B. When it comes time to drop the hammer they'll have one-sided documentation of your performance.

If they're start talking about your performance definitely follow up with an e-mail about what metrics they are using to measure performance and pressure them to give you a path for correction.

If you don't have any documentation it will be easier for them to fire you and offer you nothing. If you have a bunch of documentation, especially if they know you have it, they'll be more likely to offer a severance. A wrongful termination suit will likely cost them more than your severance, especially if you have a lot of documentation of your work and performance.

Also remember HR exists to protect the company, they don't give a shit about you beyond whatever the legal requirement is for giving a shit. Don't sign anything without reading it carefully.

It also puts a lot of money in the pockets of those who run private prisons. The incentives are perverse.

It’s also not about rehabilitation, it’s about penance but that rarely materializes.

Once you go to prison you learn how to be a better criminal. You can’t get a job because of your record. Far too easy to turn back to crime and land right back inside.

It’s cruel. It has nothing to do with reflection. Inhumane at best.

There's a big difference in this case between a position of authority and an authoritarian leader.

Typically most people would regard good leaders as people you follow because they inspire confidence, you feel like you can trust them, and that your efforts will be rewarded. Authoritarian leaders on the other hand are typically those who use their ability to punish people to force compliance.

While the owner of a private company doesn't need the approval of their employees to make decisions I would never work for someone who uses threats and doesn't explain the rationale behind their decisions.
They have repeatedly called my personal phone to “just check in” despite me telling them each time that I’m not interested. Never contacted them or gave them personal info as far as I can remember.

It's the hardware, even more than the software, that Tesla can contribute. Identifying patterns is the task. Gathering and in effect indexing enormous amounts of data is necessary, to say, identify a bot.

I don't doubt that Twitter is on the case, but I also don't doubt that better hardware and a different perspective on the software can help - plus I'm talking about a hybrid approach. The inflexibility of much modern software is stunning to us old folks, but this rather goes double with twitter, for me.

It also has to be said, as the whistleblower has said, that Twitter had a very large financial incentive for tolerating, not even detecting, large numbers of fake accounts and posts; and seems to have succummed to that. Hardly the first company that's happened to - I'd say it's closer to the norm.
I like the Norwegian penal system's view on prison terms: the punishment is the loss of liberty itself; there's no need to also treat prisoners inhumanely as an "additional" punishment -- which is what the U.S. generally does (and a lot of Americans agree with it). In the U.S. there seems to be this idea that "the worse you treat people in prison, the more it will scare people about going to prison". And yet, statistically that doesn't work. Norway's rate of recidivism is one of the lowest in the world, and nearly half that of the U.S. (Granted, this has a lot to do with social conditions outside of prison.)

If the goal of prison was "change behavior" rather than "make miserable", it might seem unfair ("bad people are getting away with it" etc.) but better for society in general (all of us). Yes, it won't work for everyone and there are some people who will never change and are just evil. But we tend to laser-focus on those few instead of the many who are not like that.
> I did a lot of crazy shit when I was younger that I would never do today.

Did you torture a hamster because it was funny, like throwing it hard against a wall to see if it would bounce?

Did you beat the shit out of a 5 year old girl because there was no one around to stop you?

No? There is crazy shit and there is just evil. And yes, those people did end up doing much worse things because society just kept giving them that chance to turn into a saint.

Unfortunately, in my experience of 6 or 7 new builds in the last 15 years or so, coaxial cables are usually staples to the studs and useless for this purpose.
One example..
Since the USA has more prisoners per capita than anywhere else in the world, I think we’ve pretty much failed as using jail as a deterrent. It really is all about punishment and removing those from society we don’t think deserve to live a free life (see the failed drug war).

Really? What’s cheaper? Oxygen is around $0.10 per kilogram in bulk. The only pure gas that’s cheaper is maybe nitrogen. I’m not sure liquid nitrogen is cheaper than oxygen, however, since the boiling point is significantly lower.

Well, for other disciplines the situation is very similar.
Crichton's and Grisham's books are both forgettable but quite enjoyable reads. In both cases, their formula is easily learned, and the 2nd and nth books you read just seem to scream out "formula." That's why I've read one or two of their books and don't feel the need to read any more.

It's a good formula. It can make very good movies. Sir Walter Scott [1] was hugely popular in his day. Some people do still read him. In 200 years, some analogous paragraph to this will appear for Crichton & Grisham.

Following the Modernist movement in literature in the aftermath of the first World War, Scott’s rambling and verbose text (indeed he was alleged to omit punctuation in his writing, preferring to leave this to the printers to insert as required) was no longer in vogue.

The quote from Wikipedia appears to be wrong. The US has also used the missile in combat. FTA:

“In January of 1999, two F-14s each fired one Phoenix missile at two Iraqi MiG-25s, only to have both miss. Later that same year, another F-14 fired a Phoenix at a MiG-23, only to miss once again. No F-14 ever shot down an enemy aircraft with the missile it was designed to carry.”

The Wikipedia quote above is from the initial introductory section. Later, Wikipedia[0] says:

> U.S. combat experience

> On January 5, 1999, a pair of US F-14s fired two Phoenixes at Iraqi MiG-25s southeast of Baghdad. Both AIM-54s' rocket motors failed and neither missile hit its target.

> On September 9, 1999, another US F-14 launched an AIM-54 at an Iraqi MiG-23 that was heading south into the no-fly zone from Al Taqaddum air base west of Baghdad. The missile missed, eventually going into the ground after the Iraqi fighter reversed course and fled north.

How do you remove dust from it?
The typical American believes in human sacrifice. We don't think of it that way, but that's what it is. A heinous crime, especially one that violates an individual, is a shock to the social fabric, and the prescription is that somebody must be harmed to purge society of the bad juju. Ideally, it's the perpetrator, but historically, it isn't that important. We're more than happy to let innocent people rot in prison and to let corrupt police and prosecutors off the hook for misconduct, as long as they continue to produce the human sacrifices we demand. It's not even necessary to solve crime as long as the state is able to inflict damage to the right sorts of people in response. It doesn't particularly matter that our criminal criminal justice system is woefully inefficient at solving or preventing crime. The cruelty of the criminal justice system and everything that follows is the point.

Not GP, but I'm in a company which is pretty decentralized (after being heavily centralized a decade ago). Decentralization puts different pressures to have good middle management (at a minimum), but I think in some ways, it even increases the pressures on management to make a decentralized company effective.
Private prisons should be abolished. I cannot understand how we as a society accept the notion of a system that financially incentivizes incarcerating people. It's abhorrent. Does any other developed country do this?
The private prison argument is mostly nonsense; between state and federal, only 8% of prisoners are incarcerated in private facilities. [1]

That was Bernake's innovation. Artificially low interest rates allowed stocks to grow faster than the economy for decades.

However, it may be that stocks now need to re-value to match the value of the economy, i.e. give up that ~5% delta that they've compounded over the last few decades.

A few comments…

- :help 'confirm'/:help :confirm basically provides most of this but it sadly relies on :help :browse, which is a GUI-only feature.

- Unless you have hard requirements that you didn't disclose, micromanaging buffers is an anti-pattern. In your "Split" scenario, you could simply edit another buffer. There is no need to delete the current buffer at all: 3 buffers, 30 buffers, 300 buffers… Vim doesn't care so you shouldn't.
You make it sound like people contributing to MIT licensed code are oblivious to that. I'm perfectly fine with anyone doing whatever they want or I wouldn't have chosen MIT. They don't owe me anything.
There's a big difference in number of personnel involved and how important equipment (radar, IFF, landing systems) are for daytime vs nighttime recoveries.
They are not reviewing code, they are reviewing people. And doing a terrible job at that if it really involves code printouts and short interviews. This is likely a fishing expedition to collect data to disguise layoffs as performance firings. He's not interested in accurately tell if they are capable or not, he's likely just trying to gauge who to "obviously" maintain and get rid of the rest since he already stated that in his view 75% of the company is redundant.
It's hardly uniquely shitty.

There's bound to be people lived through the 1906 SF earthquake as a kid, the trenches of WW1 as a young adult (1917), then the Spanish Flu (1918) and then once things started looking up for them, either the 1929 stock market crash and/or the dust bowl came and took it all away again.

Of course on the other hand, just because someone has had it worse doesn't make things not bad.
Awesome answer. Thanks for those examples, makes a ton of sense!

I just assumed in 99% of cases, you could just "tweak" Unreal but if its issues with core components of the engine... I could see why an engine from scratch may work better.
What bothers me is someone will claim that cutting the whole forest is the best thing to do, because if it wasn't, the market would have done something else, like run it sustainably.

Nobody points out that management does what it is incentivezed to do, and that those incentives ought to be fair game for negotiation. Or at least for commentary.
If it's a repeat problem, then the prison time isn't working, perhaps the best solution would be some other rehabilitative way to learn empathy...
This is one of the things that my father did when he did the wiring for the house ~50 years ago - conduit everywhere. It means things like drilling into the wall is safer (you hit metal rather than wire) and when you want to, you just pull more wire through it.

There are so many parts of it that were "over engineered" for a house 50 years ago that are "oh, that's convenient" now.
Just a month ago I commented on a different post, "At this rate, within a few years we'll have people creating low quality movies just by describing what they want the movie to look like."

I hedged, since "a few years" could reasonably be 5-10 years. Looks like I was wrong to hedge and we'll see the first script-generated video in the next year or two.
Fair question. Elon is definitely not the answer to all that ails the planet. Yes, electric cars are not a panacea: they require mining of nasty elements from the ground and (especially the batteries) must be disposed of properly; they still require electricity which is largely still created using fossil fuels.

For me, the big advantage is that electric cars can be charged from many root sources including solar, wind, and nuclear. These sources can be sourced locally to one’s home or at least within the country, which reduces the perpetual excuse for wars to secure access to fossil fuels. That’s a significant contribution and Elon Musk is largely credited with moving the auto industry in that direction.

Also, I like his Don Quixotic nature. Charging forth into areas despite the naysayers and avoiding analysis paralysis by taking action and accomplishing some amazing feats with a team of people of course. We have enough tepid “leaders” who just want to copy other money-making ideas with easy fed money distributed by simple-minded venture capitalists.

People can change but mostly the don't. If someone let you down 5 years ago they will, most likely, let you down again.
Yea, that can be an issue, although for shorter runs it is surprising how much loss you can have and still work fantastic. There are some very cool bend insensitive multimode fibers that would work well in that case.

I saw a video where someone was doing this and they used little plastic bend guides that were painted trim color.. not perfect but also not as noticeable as I would have thought.
In many places in Asia the penalties for crime, and conditions for inmates, make American prisons look like a resort. It's frequently little more than intentional sadism. For one commonly known example in Japan death row inmates are kept in absolute solitary confinement and never told when they're too be hanged until one day a guard walks in, and they're dangling from a rope a few moments later. Imagine hearing that gate swing open and the approaching footsteps, over and over and over. It could be your next meal, or the rope.

There's also greater than 80% support for capital punishment, and implicitly this system, in Japan. Yet crime rates, especially violent crime, are practically zero. And what violent crime does exist is almost entirely inter-personal (argument turns violent, deal gone bad, etc) as opposed to random. The obvious explanation for all of this is simply that people are different. And consequently, mimicking the methods of a country with a meaningfully different population is highly unlikely to result in mimicking their results.

These are still useful on a micro four-thirds body, just not in the way you might expect. With a speed booster, you reverse most of the magnification and throw a huge amount of light on those small sensors. A Nikon 50mm AF-D on a .71x speed booster and an m43 body is a disturbingly fast setup at ~70mm equivalent field of view.

All that said, the state-of-the-art fast primes for the m43 systems have left the classic 50/1.4 in the dust. The performance of the Olympus 25mm f/1.2 is utterly amazing. The only quibble with the lens is it's huge.

Exactly. I think we discount just how horrible of a punishment it is just to be locked up for your entire life (or even just for decades). No need to also treat them like shit.
Indeed, we went [something old] -> FogBugz -> Jira and cvs -> svn -> git. All cases from that original system have been lost and some but not all of the FogBugz cases were imported to Jira (and even the ones that were imported are hard to find), while the repos went through an import process so all commits and their messages have been preserved. The git history is a bit wonky because of how branches work differently, but "blame", check commit, "blame commit~1" to iterate backwards in the history to track a change do all still work as expected.

We now have been having to stop devs from using Gitlab as their primary issue tracker instead of Jira because the non-devs use Jira for everything and we need to keep them in the loop.
