It's so weird to me that "write programs that do one thing well" is constantly referred to as "The Unix Philosophy" by people who presumably use Unix? Maybe it's a philosophy like "Don't do sins" is a philosophy of Christians? More of an aspiration than an actual practice?

I can't really think of any Unix programs in common use that do one thing well. Inevitably, they grow to redundantly include features that other programs have.

If anything can be said to be the actual lived Unix philosophy it's probably something like:
1) Try to make your programs communicate using text, where the 'record' is separated by a newline.
2) If you have a choice between making a program a little more friendly to use, or making it's text communication a little simpler to compose with, go with the second option. E.g. if there's nothing to output when a program runs don't output "Nothing to output", just output nothing.

I don't think Emacs really fits with the unix philosophy, whether my version or the common version, at all. One of the main things I like about emacs is that it's like a vision of an alternate computing universe, where we assume that we're operating in a giant image that's meant to be programmed and customized all the time. What if most of your work was done in a LISP repl with a bunch of UI tweaks? It's like using a research project from a 70s or 80s "Future of Computing" lab that never actually shipped, except it did ship. It feels like it should have a lightpen attached.

I don't even really think it's particularly practical to use emacs at this point, I just like this vibe and reminder that nothing about the way we use computers was inevitable so much that I stubbornly still use it.
Amateur chemistry may be dead but you can still experience it vicariously on YouTube. For example Explosions&Fire has documented playing around with many chemicals. There are probably a lot more channels but I haven't delved too deeply into this area.
>These require specialized tools to maintain, which are so expensive that no amateur will afford them (for the rare occasions).

An amateur can't afford a $50 bleed kit?
This is a good 1-'man'-show[0] TEDx, where watching someone program/fiddle with (software and) knobs is great to watch. Talk's good too--build-up to performance/demo is about halfway through.

<Screams in Active Record>

The default ORM in Ruby… not great at scale.

I had a large client with moderate traffic, they were slow because they were absolutely crushing their DB. Now granted it was not JUST ruby, but ruby was a big part of it. We profiled their slow queries and found stuff no human would think is sane.

Active record is great for the developer and terrible for database optimization. Which is fine until you try to scale. Then you fall over on your face.

Ruby is slow because it constructs retarded database queries that no human would ever use. Think ten lines long and multiple joins.
My question is, which of

> defeated by these basic WW2 obstacles, and currently completely overmatched by anti-tank weapons. The best chance of active protection systems from here rely on always-on active radar which means you're lighting yourself up.

does not apply equally well to AFVs? If the answer is "none", why are you talking about AFVs as if they're going to survive longer than tanks? Other vehicles than AFVs can be build to carry troops into battle, if it turns out armor is a bad tradeoff, just as surely as other machines could be designed to provide direct fire support. But a bunch of infantry in a can is always going to be a great target for a Javelin, right?
I think what has held HL3 back is Valve thinking they need to deliver something _more_ than just a continuation of HL2. HL2 was meant to showcase physics and the source engine, Valve needed something like that for HL3. Alyx I think was supposed to be that "thing": VR, the next frontier.

Unfortunately, I think most folks would have been perfectly fine with HL3 being a continuation of HL2, myself included, so now we have to wait for Valves hubris to subside.
"When Worlds Collide" is a similar story.
So this future is only possible if technology creates extremely tight vote loops -> or in the abstract, technology enables greater representation. The Federal Government basically admits that the unitary policy is not the global, or Pareto, optimum - this analysis was made when votes took orders of magnitude more effort to produce and tabulate, does that thesis need to be revisited?? I think so, or at least re-affirmed what deserves to be at the National level vs. the state.

Any crypto exchange posturing buying out the likes of Goldman or CME are obviously doomed to fail. There's a fundemental difference between having courage and being down right lunatic, SBF definitely falls in the latter...
>Sure, if you have hidden cables it sucks, and press-fit BBs and headsets do require special tools

Press-fit BBs are going the way of the dodo. Newer bikes have been moving to threaded BBs for years now, because of all the problems press-fit ones had.
None so far
Think of it another way: accountability is answering to someone. As the majority shareholder and CEO, who is Zuckerberg accountable to? Nobody, really. He might say "I am accountable to the billions of Facebook users", but of course that's lip service: try scheduling a meeting with him to review his performance and put him on an improvement plan.

He has arranged the company so that he is not accountable to anybody, so him saying he is accountable is either a lie, or a misuse of that term.
You may need to adjust for time dilation near the black hole.

> means that the black hole and star formed separately and the black hole later captured the star?

That's why they say triplet. It's not actually possible for it to capture it directly without involving a third object.

The speed that the sun goes towards black hole is the exact same speed that it goes away from the black hole, the only way for it to be captured is for it to shed some speed into a third object.

That's why they're having trouble with the scenarios "unlikely" because it's not easy to do that.

Those types of capture is tend to produce extreme and very non-circular orbits. It's extraordinarily unlikely to capture a star and end up in a circular orbit.
Yes. Increase shipping capacity and reduce gasoline costs. These frictionful costs make up the entirety of inflation at the moment. It’s not just cheaper shit from China - although cheaper stuff necessarily is deflationary. Food is a global commodity and it costs 4x more to ship it now than it did 3 years ago. That cost is passed to consumers.

Increasing the cost of borrowing decreases economic activity by essentially making everything more expensive on credit. Many businesses use credit facilities to finance ongoing operations throughout the year and their ability to afford to operate their business will go down, requiring them to employ less and attempt less business. This reduces inflation by pulling capital back from growth and investment as well as into savings facilities. But the other side is it induces a recession, increases unemployment, and decreases wages. This is worse than inflation IMO - if you make less money how is that different than things costing more? The supply of money might change the nominal price of something and hurts fixed income folks, but as wages are elastic as well as prices unless inflation is coupled with decreased wages and employment whats the relative difference? Further consumption based economies burn money supply down quickly if the economy is able to meet demand.

By reducing the cost of shipping and improving shipping capacities any excess cash would be consumed by having supply meet demand. That can be achieved by lowering interest rates which stimulates capital investment in supply side expansion and facilitated demand by lowering the marginal cost of credit facilities.
It’s pretty clear now it a last ditch Hail Mary effort to save them from a bank run that would ruin them
It can be argued that if it's mostly a glue language translating requests into db queries and db responses into HTML it doesn't need to be blazingly fast.

Although that does rather define the shape of the application to look a certain way. You can certainly do a lot more with a faster backend language. Not everything translates well to a database query. Throwing more hardware at the problem doesn't get around this.
"It is generally considered difficult to lay off employees in Japan. While staff can be let go due to dire financial circumstances, companies typically need to prove they have been operating in the red, demonstrate that attempts were made to avoid dismissals and, if lay offs are called for, show that the selection process governing dismissals is carried out in a fair and objective manner."

Well, guess I'll wait for the lawsuits to take place to further inform my opinion

A friend visiting from Iran and I were discussing the current wave of boycotts in Iran against companies that are controlled by the regime. He related that consensus in Iran is that after a certain size (or if in important sector) all companies are part owned if not controlled by Sepah (IRGC - a terrorist organization).

So while 'Nobitex' doesn't mention anything about who is running it on their website, you can be certain that it is a very important company as far as IRGC is concerned.

Which brings us to the legal question (IANAL) of how much legal exposure is Binance facing here, given that the Iranian-American community is gearing up to legally excise ("wipe from pages of history") all elements of IR from access to US government, commerce, academia, lobbies, communications, and of course finance, and those who support the Islamic Republic here in USA, and their terrorist IRGC will face legal consequences.

From Reuters:

"Crypto giant Binance has processed Iranian transactions with a value of $8 billion since 2018 despite U.S. sanctions intended to cut Iran off from the global financial system, blockchain data show.

"Almost all the funds, some $7.8 billion, flowed between Binance and Iran's largest crypto exchange, Nobitex, according to a review of data from leading U.S. blockchain researcher Chainalysis. Nobitex offers guidance on its website on how to skirt sanctions."

Unless you work for a company with a corporate account, the argument for a SMB CC subscription diminishes daily. That’s why they acquired Figma. They don’t innovate; they acquire and extinguish. Grab a perpetual license for something like Affinity or whatever makes you happy and spend the time to get up to speed. Pirate Bay is a bandaid at best.

I hate USB-C connectors. They are too fragile, supported by solder instead of the device housing, has a massive cantilever sticking out, is susceptible to vibrations, and is all-around bad design. I break about 1 USB-C cable a week, on average.

I really wish they made them something like a miniature IEC C13/C14 power plug (the standard power plugs on most desktop computers), where a rubbery plug fits snugly into a rubbery housing. You can drop bricks on connectors, and the worst that can happen is they unplug themselves. Both connector and socket are virtually impossible to break.
Except most companies won't attract the same top-tier Ruby/Rails talent. For example, it looks like 1/3 of the current Rails Core Team work at Shopify, including the person who is the #1 all-time Rails contributor.

PSA: SmartAir access lock system is not secure
It turns out, offline access control systems with no central server are a very bad idea. Not only does this attack open any SmartAir lock in literally seconds, it leaves very little information behind on the lock. For instance, if you try to retrieve the log, it won't even show that the door was opened at the time of the attack, as the attack uses an invalid user ID that the lock happily accepts but the log blocks. Fantastic!

> Yes, tanks aren't invulnerable, but anti tank missiles are expensive, bulky, and require some advanced training.

In general, I don't disagree with your post, but even "cheap" RPG-7 (or a more modern, NATO equivalent) would be an effective method of, if nothing else, slowing enemy tanks. In general, "boom wtf was that" is going to stop an advance even if it doesn't kill the tank.
Regardless, 1TB is a fucking joke. Can't even do an off-site backup of my hard drive.

And also take responsibility for the issues management created for other departments?

Why do we have managers then? It's not to manage well, and it's not to take responsibility.
The things we federally legislate + judicature, which now affects what we see as the things we execute - that has a feedback loop into the L + J - are not what we should discuss at the federal level - i.e. everyone's 'problems' with the electoral college having too much influence... yes, exactly, the worry is about things that shouldn't matter - that's the design, don't discuss stupid things up in the power centers.

I guess I am missing something, why does this cause dependency hell? I guess microsoft is basically recommending against targeting netstandard now anyways so there must be some problem with it. But I don't think I have run into any problems with the situation you described.

edit: Ok I see, it seems in that scenario loading the correct assembly is more difficult on dotnet framework and usually requires binding redirects to be specified. On dotnet core/.NET 5+ there are no issues though, which is why I haven't experienced this problem myself.

Thank you, I'm glad to get validation from someone directly involved with recruitment!

I think a lot of people overlook how important it is to account for people doing recruitment related tasks. Scalability and simplicity really shine for that.
That depends on the region. In western US / Canada it is not niche. Globally, however it probably is.

I think I agree with that. The more actionable question might be "how do I identify teams with good leaders, as opposed to the other kind, and only work with them from now on?" I'm fully on board with life being not just work, but about 20% of it is, so it's worth optimizing.

"Just do it", as described in your post, is a great and productive attitude.

It is, however, rare that telling someone else "just do it" gives them that attitude. I have never seen it happen. I have said "just..." and seen the effect described in the article.

Asking questions, developing an understanding of what may be holding someone else back from "just doing it", then offering them any help you can provide them is much more likely to help them develop the attitude, in my experience.
in a JPEG implementation, there is 10 lines of code that need to be in C, assembly, etc, the rest can be any language.
I just don’t think punk has been relevant after Thatcher and Regen, which means I am giving it more than a decade.

Certainly by 1990, rappers had take the mantle of “that’s not music” outrage, and sampling was becoming what was considered the talentless noise not at all musical.

I mean I know a few people who have been into punk for forty years. Some have grandkids.

There’s nothing wrong with guitar driven music. It is just old fashioned.
Can the people pass a constitutional amendment to forbid that compact, and sue in the state court to overturn it? That is the right under attack.
> Thank you for admitting that masks do cause accessibility and other

To the extent that I said there are accessibility concerns with masks, I have also claimed that all are solvable while continuing to wear masks. Further, the idea that someone, somewhere, might be inconvenienced isn't enough to suggest that they shouldn't be used or mandated, that's silly.

> and as such have a severe cost associated with their use.

I never stated this, please do not put words in my mouth. If you're going to not only lie about the science, but also lie about what I've said, I'll disengage. Your need to lie should demonstrate to anyone else following along how reliable your claims are.

You continue to hold masks to a comical standard, and lie about them to do it. Don't.
Do you think the 'market' can decide anything if people aren't playing by the 'rules' in the first place? The free market model does not account for widespread fraud.

I really don't know why can't they just have real verification system like many websites do (such as some crypo exchanges or even banks) where they asks you background check questions and you upload your ID. I would be pretty pissed if I can't get "Official" label when I am using Twitter with my legal name but other celebrities can. This is direct re-installation of "lords and peasants".

If something like this is possible, would there be no use or other limitations to making a "descriptive" simulation. ie. libraries of animated reactions? Or is this what comicjk is refering to?

In a way, it's useful if they provide a mark for the official Elon Musk account or the official Devin Nunes account. I hope people recognize it as "official to Twitter" and not "official in and of itself", as for example a politician tweeting from their official account is not the same as saying anything official.

Then, to be consistent, any and all parody accounts should be allowed for those because they will clearly not be mistaken for the real one. Right?

If my income drops by $10 is that materially different than the price going up by $10 instead? In the end I have a $10 deficit. By letting supply and demand work itself out and making sure the friction for supply meeting demand is minimal (I.e., shipping and fuel costs low and capacity high), inflation would disappear as suppliers met the demand induced by any excess liquidity in the market. The world has an amazing capacity to produce, but it’s being bottlenecked by fuel costs and shipping capacity. That means if you can improve that bottleneck the excess cash you mention is consumed into production and capital investment to meet the demand. That’s expansive to the economy and generally good for everyone. The fed trying to lower shipping rates by making demand disappear is contracting the economy, is recessionary, and leads to widespread suffering. Neither path happens over night, and both inflation and a recession hurt - but the outcome of economic expansion is better for everyone than contraction.

Note I’m not saying don’t deal with inflation. I’m saying inflation is caused by bottlenecks in supply meeting demand. Stimulus increased demand, and that increased demand can be met by suppliers but the cost of shipping in all dimensions is very high historically. Removing bottlenecks and expanding economic throughput also solves the inflation we see without everyone being miserable.

Well, since this is from CNN, how about this fun game: I'll pay $10,000 to anyone that finds me a positive headline about Trump that CNN has ever at any point run. Heck, not even a positive article, how about just a neutral article? An article that just neutrally says facts about some event that happened that involved Trump, without putting spin on it or telling you to think in a negative way about it. The fact that you would be extremely hard-pressed to collect the money says everything you need to know about the state of our "democracy".
