Interesting point. One possible solution might be to replace the parliament gradually. Rather then having an election every four years, you might replace one member of parliament with a randomly choosen citizen every week.

On a quick skim of the website, I had no idea that it was mostly for syntax highlighting. I thought it was for web design.

The website is gorgeously made, so kudos for that.
If you wanted to use a new piece of software or library you had to buy at a store or order it by mail. So you ended up writing a lot of stuff like your own collections.

No internet or even cell phones, I didn't have a computer at home - if something broke you had to wait until the next day when people were back in the office.
Recovering alcoholic (2 years sober) here:

You don't need an easier job, you need to quit. An easier job will entice you to drink more and before you know it that easy job becomes hard. It's a vicious circle.

Many more people than those who admit it have a problem, but once you KNOW you have a problem there is only one solution: Quit.

Not for a week or a month, but for a year. If you can't do a year, you know you're _severely_ addicted. And severe addiction if it goes untreated will ALWAYS end in disaster or death.

Once you've done a year you will see how much of your happiness and resilience has returned and you don't want to go back. You might go back and fuck up again and then realize you have to quit for good, but that's a battle for another day.

Find help or check into a clinic if you can afford it. Groups helped me tremendously. See if you can find an English speaking one. It's not so much about people helping you with your problem. It's about sharing your experiences with people who won't judge you. You don't know what you're missing if you've never had it. Give it a chance.

Go and buy books. Some people swear by Allan Carr's Easy Way to Stop Drinking. I found his books to only help with smoking, but some prominent figures like his book on drinking too.

Get educated on the subject.

Most likely (99%) your brain hasn't experienced lasting damage YET. The damage you experience (trouble focusing and remembering) will heal over the next 1 - 7 years completely if you stop. Science has a pretty good idea of this apparently. (The drug has been around a long time)

So there are two messages here: Be glad you've identified the problem now. It's not too late to regain everything you want. BUT: If you change nothing you will succumb to the sauce and lose everything like millions and millions before you.

It's a dangerous, dangerous position to be in. Treat it accordingly and make solving that problem the Number 1 issue in your life.
What? How would you feel if someone announced they were buying your company after breaking M&A laws and messing around with a significant portion of your net worth, tried to back out, further messing around with your net worth, started talking shit about your company, takes it over because they are forced to, then within days, is threating 25% layoffs.

Would you want to be in that kind of situation?
To me, VR != AR. I can see AR being a (well-done) overlay on my glasses that provide information when requested. I would think that VR would suffer if the real world leaked into the simulation - would this not need some kind of immersive appliance that prevents this? If so, that would be rather annoying and isolating. Great for a while, but RL has a habit of needing attention no matter what you try to do.

Might be neat to have the Apple watch kind of thing merged into smart glasses...
There are millions of questions like this - and at some point the small Ukrainian ISP is de facto a small Russian ISP.

Often the best thing to do in (reality, practicality) is let things continue as they were, even if technically you could cut them off entirely "as punishment to the Russians" - because it wouldn't actually punish any Russians whatsoever, but would hurt the people on the ground.
AFAIK Docker doesn't run natively on macOS so it's running via a VM. And since you're already running it via a VM, might just lose the additional abstraction of Docker and set the limits on the VM directly.
It's incredible that throughout the entire site, I could not find a single example of a code snippet, until I clicked Ports in the top bar. The Ports link in the footer actually just jumps to the part of the page where ports are described, not their actual list of ports, which is weird to have multiple links named the same that should ostensibly link to the same place but don't [0].

Twitter Offers to Buy Back Outstanding Bonds as Musk Takes Helm
Lula was arrested, tried, convicted multiple times and imprisoned for corruption, bribery and money laundering. Happened on national television, I saw it live. I have no doubt Bolsonaro and all the others are corrupt too but at least there's plausible deniability. Electing a publicly known criminal though? This is such an embarrassment I can't take this country seriously anymore.
I think that something people often forget in "free speech" discussions about hateful and dangerous people like Kiwi Farms is that while deplatforming someone can be seen as an evil, killing or imprisoning them certainly would be worse. When you have an organization that promotes violence like the Christchurch shooter, when they begin to use violence in the real world, you will have to (a) kill or imprison them to stop them from hurting others, and/or (b) allow them to kill and injure others.

If you see deplatforming people as a preventative measure to keep from having to kill and imprison them (not to mention the harm they will do before you can stop them), then it seems like the morally best thing you can do for these haters.

Sadly our culture loves cleaning up things after the fact instead of deploying an ounce of prevention. This is how you end up trying to "harden" every possible target, like schools, installing metal detectors and buying children bulletproof backpacks, instead of just limiting guns. Not only is this expensive, impossible and ineffective, it makes everyone's life worse in innumerable ways.

Even before a killer is radicalized by KF, or a SWAT team is sent to someone's house, allowing this harassment to spread just makes the world a worse place to live. Everyone believes in some moderation, otherwise they would be fighting for the right of spammers to spam, and burying any platform they control under mountains of junk. Once we've established that everyone allows moderation in order for communications to function at all, we're just haggling over how many people we're willing to kill with lax moderation, and how nightmarish we're willing to let our "public squares" get before doing something.
Twitter probably didn't have a pre-existing title for "Member of the Musk Entourage" so they just found what they considered the next closest thing.
I understand it's not what you want to hear, but I think the only viable option is to test on real low powered hardware.

A throttled high-end machine will not behave like a low-end machine. Sure, they'll superficially both be slow, but not slow in the same way. There are differences in IOPS, cache sizes, and so forth you simply can't escape from.

Especially in low-end laptops, you may also have uneven performance from thermal throttling.

Some suggestions to help with the tiredness (and I'm grounding this in my athletic background, not a doctor):

1/ Increase the amount of water you are consuming. Try to put down 80 oz a day. Keeping a full water bottle with you on your person will help a lot.

2/ Keep a strict bedtime and sleep 7+ hours nightly. Feeling tired? Get sleep. Building a good set of sleep habits will help your body regulate itself overall better. Also just in general people don't sleep enough and this is a great easy spot to start looking.

These are two tips I know have helped a TON for me. Keeping discipline for sleeping and "over" hydrating have resulted in a lot of my brain fog disappearing or at least my perceived productivity and focus has improved. I also spent more time in the gym but I feel that is a personal decision and the above tips were independently very very useful at keeping me sharper.

When I had my first service released to live at AOL, in 1997, they gave me a pager and said welcome to operations. I was so pleased with myself. We did have remote work by 97 or 98 tho, tho mostly just while cranking out code, then you c9me in to get your next project.

AOL had a nice rhythm of projects were in the three month range from design to deployment. You saw your work used at scale but had time to do it well.
I'm going to give a try to "fast connectors" that don't need splicing, I ordered a cleaver and a stripper, that's much more affordable than a splicer. Those connector don't seem to be very popular, there is probably a reason. I already have a 1Gbps fiber media converter. I also opted for 4 fibers cable, I will try a temporary 10Gbps P2P link along the 1Gbps. Fast connectors may not be ideal with a multi-fiber cable, but I will try to make it work. The total cost seem fair.

Why do you think that's relevant?

The billionaires are already doing this. Literally. That specific thing is being done on the orders of the richest person on the planet, as part of a plan to get even richer.

He's hardly the only one.

This is why a lot of new infrastructure in this field is getting funding and being built.

This is why the infrastructure that has been planned and whose construction is in progress is so much larger than what currently exists.

This isn't "crossing my fingers and hoping", it's the default outcome unless something else makes it all redundant.

All of the issues you're using to doubt this are "throw money at them and they go away" type of problems, and enough money being thrown at them to be interesting.

Fusion, sadly, is still in the "throw money at the problems and we expect to find new ones" category.

In some ways $150/yr to make sure your app was usable may be a worthwhile expenditure.

Don't feel stuck! I think the world has gone a bit mad chasing "dark mode" for text everywhere. This must be highly personal, but light themes really reduce the fatigue on my eyes, and I've always found them preferable too. Maybe it's really the dark mode people who are stuck?

Maybe I'm missing something, but surely a dictionary based attack will work because you have to be able to know that your key has already been submitted by another user. That's the point of the application.

1) Initial report is filed.

2) Second report is filed by a user who only knows the attackers details.

3) Match is found

Therefore you can just keep iterating through names till you get a match.

Another way of saying it is that the application won't work if a second user can't tell that the first user has entered an attackers name.

The vulnerability is in the application specification, not HE.
> The acquirer, his attitude towards workers

"Workers" is strange to me when talking about people who make 5-10x the national average (i.e. make more than many average executives in other industries). They're employees, but "workers" implies blue collar in my opinion. I'm fine with including staff in retail, restaurants etc, but someone making $500k+ a year doesn't fit into that category.
I didn't frame it anything like that. Ironically, this is what the post is about: uncharitable cynicism.

Me saying it is easier to criticise than create doesn't mean criticism is always harmful or useless.

The biggest flaw in this and similar theories is that it requires 100.000000000...% of beings to decide this is the way to go. Not a single being or entity (corporation, or something more exotic) ever decides, over the whole life time of the civilization that, hey, if we send a space ship over there we can have an entire solar system of our own to play with. Including possibly entities constructed for the explicit purpose of doing that by other entities who do not themselves care. One must also consider that not every being is necessarily limited by our life span too; star travel is effectively impossible for us in our state, but if we casually lived 10 million years and could propagate that in space ships star travel would merely be a massive inconvenience. Plus civilizations can in principle live in denser areas.

This is a general problem across most kneejerk answers, like "humans just suck so hard that there's no chance that they'll make it out before they kill themselves". Possibly true. But to be an answer to the Fermi paradox, it must be the case that all civilizations have that problem, including ones based on insects with strong hierarchies and ones based on super-hippies and slower ones and faster ones and all the ones.

It isn't enough to explain 99% of the problem away, especially if it's done with explanations that aren't even necessarily that good in the first place. You need 100.00%, with several significant digits. (I used more in my first paragraph because that was per being, this one is per civilization.)

Perl has a fond place in my heart, though I don't use it for new things, but I still like it (some 20+ years ago I proudly wore a t-shirt with a square block of perl code in the back that, should you type it and run it, would print a quote by Larry Wall. This shirt: https://www.flickr.com/photos/codepo8/489597488 - not my pic).

That said, having had to deal with perl professionally a few times in the last 10 years, the biggest drawbacks I find in it for larger-scale projects are:

- A lot of people are perl programmers, not programmers. I'm not tied to any language, believe in using the best tool for a job, and believe in using a language I'm not a big fan of if that makes it easier for a wider team. A lot of perl programmers I met don't feel the same and (wrongly, IMHO) think perl is the best language for every use case out there.

- It's lacking in instrumentation when compared to other languages and VMs. It's more challenging to debug production problems with perl than with, say, C (and that should say a lot...)

- There's no reliable way to limit resource usage of programs, which can be very bad when running on servers. Even worse if your perl code shares the server with other code. I think that's one of the reasons new Percona Toolkit tools are written in Go and not perl (but I could be wrong). It can be dangerous to run some perl scripts on a database server, for example. I suppose cgroups/containers/etc can help there, but only in a circuit-breaker way: I don't think there's an easy way for one to write perl code that can keep its resource usage under a predefined limit and still continue to work when the limit is reached.

- Kind of like lisp, a lot of the power in perl also means that if a team is not tight and some coding standards are agreed upon, you end up with multiple custom languages sharing a codebase. Something like python takes care of this because there's usually a single way to do something. That also makes it more boring from a programming language perspective (to some people, to any extent) but as engineers our role is not to do cool, fun, and interesting things; we need to solve problems in a reliable and predictable way. Think of the people who carry a pager and will be waken up when there's a problem involving your code, even if that's you (your 3 AM self will thank your 2 PM self for not being clever with the hacks, trust me).

That said, I'm happy the ecosystem seems healthy, I'm glad we have languages like perl that let you take a 25 year old script and run it today without changes. And reading all the people on this thread that work on perl, if it works for you and you get to make a living off of the language you love: cheers to you, and I'm sure there'll be job openings for perl programmers for at least another 2 to 3 decades.
I think it's both disrespectful towards engineers and managers to think that every manager should write code. Why not treat both as two separate valuable skills?
> I personally can’t see a good reason why it should be illegal

There is a big one: the employer/employee is not a balanced relationship, the employer clearly has more power over where things go. So it's absolutely normal to protect the employee from being asked too much, especially when said employee doesn't benefit from the overtime.

There is a big bias towards taking companies as important citizens whose needs must be catered for, but it's taking more and more importance when the actual citizens aren't listened to. It is important to put companies back to what they are: a social construct for exploiting people and make profit from their work.
Your dogmas are the heuristics you take for granted that I know to be bad/false, and vice versa.

Dogma is the simplifications we teach to children (and students and junior devs) so they don't have to contemplate the full complexity of reality.

The problem is when we start to attach our identity to these dogma, and hold them so precious that we will never give them up.

Without our dogma/heuristics we get lost. But we need to know how to give up on the ones that are no longer useful.
