Canadian Tire and Costco are two places you should absolutely avoid. If you aren't experienced with bikes their bikes look fine on paper for the price. In reality, you will spend lots of time and money to get them to perform properly, and will still have a bike that is likely untrustable.

Go to an independent bike shop and explain what you want to do and your budget. They will be able to kit you out appropriately. For Canadian made bikes, my wife has a Devinci which, so far, has been great for rugged urban use with panniers and racks. I suspect that it would hold up great to touring travel.

It should be totally possible to buy and outfit a bike for $3k CAD
I wonder if that's why several European countries are excluded from this, according to the terms on the page linked in the submission.
This is true, but if you dual license like this, your code will also carry another more permissive license, like Apache, BSD, or MIT, without an explicit re-licensing at a later date. It (that code only) can then be used under the more permissive license straight from the GPL-marked project. To convert from a GPL-licensed project, the user would only have to replace the GPL-licensed components.

Err yeah kind of. I always recommend people find someone in the team they want to join and reach out to them personally or via a mutual.

If you fill in the form without someone on the other end waiting to pick your application out of the firehouse it can get lost in the HR mystery machine.

> Some people are saying once you have million followers on mastdon.social, you are not going to restart from zero on mastodon.net.

i think we should have learned by now that when “some people are saying…” we should be very skeptical if those claims are based in reality.

in this case, they’re not. if you wish to move from .social to .net you move your account and your million followers go with you.

Oh, it's now a reference implementation... since when?! Do those people who climb on the Mastodon bandwagon know this is just a POC turned into a Product, which now competes with Twitter?!

The language makes a huge difference as you need to deploy the whole Ruby toolchain, and front it with all the hard choices Rubyists had to deal with for ages to make it kinda work! You don't make a distributed competitor of Twitter following its own wrong design chocies!

Mastodon is old, and it's a shaky foundation, and it should be rebuilt from scratch instead of disappointing the millions of people who suddenly like Dorsey more than Musk... although Dorsey is working on Bluesky, not Mastodon, or ActivityPub!
From experience, that hasn’t been true.

I’ll give an example. Rdkit[0] went for years without being able to be released via pypi and could only be installed easily via conda[1]. Despite this, it thrived enough as a project that users got its postgresql extension to be part of AWS Aurora[2] in 2020, which means wide adoption before rdkit had managed to figured out how to be distributed by pypi in 2021.

There are open source projects like this all over the place, thriving outside the centralized repos.

People said this the last 4-5 times Mastodon had it's "big chance" and the platform still seems to be doing fine. Methinks the people on Twitter complain too much, but with any luck Twitter won't even be a platform going into 2023.
People with a hard time to be empathetic (alternatively let's call it theory of mind deficiency) or who have trouble with emotional regulation tend to develop coping mechanisms, for example a typical one is that they start to simply ignore feelings of others in most situations, don't mention feelings in communications, etc.

Does this absolve them of hurting others? Of course not really, but it might help others understand why it's hard to get people with such defenses to even acknowledge that their communication can be hurtful, etc.

There are two factors that I think cloud the story somewhat.

The first is there's a time aspect to it. In 1941, after Operation Barbarossa, the Soviets shut down their factories and shipped them east, which meant there was about a 6 month period where production was more or less nonexistent. This is a critical juncture where resupply and refit essentially has to rely on Lend-Lease.

The other factor is that Lend-Lease to the USSR was primarily not about the big headline weapons: Soviets were mostly using Soviet-designed and Soviet-built weapons to fight and win the war. Rather, it was about providing the equipment that keeps the infrastructure ticking over. The US wasn't building the tanks for the USSR as much as it was building the things that built the tanks.

Disgusting. SBF and this Friedman guy need to be literally physically flogged to a sobbing mess in the public square and then put into the ring for eight rounds with Mike Tyson.

Not a silly ask. I’ve seen B2B Success Teams be very successful setting up a private channel for clients and using Atlassian Assist.

This feature isn’t marketed by Atlassian. It Jira Service Desk provides the “backend” to the support experience, providing private comments, threads, the ability to merge multiple conversations that pop up in Slack, and link up support requests to active development in Jira.

The only downside is I believe JSM is limited to 5000 external users. Not a huge issue for B2B Success. Considering a external user is only created when a support request via the :ticket: emoji is used.
"Between 1940 and 1943, Britain tripled its war production; Germany and Russia doubled theirs; and Japan increased its war production fourfold. In that three-year period, the United States multiplied its war production by twenty-five times." Ian W. Toll, Pacific Crucible (2012)
Catch-22. You often can't legally search for a job as a tourist. Typically, like the US H1-B, a sponsoring company needs to "prove" that they tried and failed to source the employee onshore first, and therefore immigration is the interest of the domestic company.

I'm separated from my family right now -- wife and kids -- while waiting on an immigration process that has taken far longer than we were expecting. I assure you that any immigration-related worry can seem outsized.

You are assuming integrity and good-faith participation of all systems involved. This is not a reasonable assumption in the context of service abuse. Account compromise and host compromise spring to mind as avenues for spam. All it would take is popping a poorly configured server and then spam can be injected into the feeds you've chosen to follow.
I had a hard time learning react. I was a reasonably proficient developer but really struggled. Reading "learning react" (O'Reilley) really helped me.

If I may suggest, I recommend reading up on the concept of comparative advantage. Economics suggests that an org that spends more on self serving Mastodon or any service outside their core offering costs should be willing to offload that to a specialized service if the service offering is lower.
One issue I've seen is: assign the job to someone with experience as a instructor/mentor.

A friend recently told me the story of a very predictable train wreck at his company... management knew he had the background to do a good job with the training, but that wasn't the priority I guess.

End result estimated to be ~3 person years wasted because of a lack of good training/process onboarding/mentoring. The newcomers weren't incompetent, but they needed more than they got.

That's some revision of history. The Soviets didn't "enable" the Third Reich, since they knew well enough war with Nazi Germany was inevitable in the long run. Why they cooperated with each other is complex, and all powers back then engaged in some questionable strategies that, in hindsight, backfired. Poland is more complicated than a "partition".

It's an inconvenient truth, now, to remember the Soviets did most of the fighting against Nazi Germany.
Yeah I assumed but did not state that any condensation in the exchanger would end up down a drain. It's just the room that's the problem.
They have announced massive layoffs but I sincerely doubt that a majority of them represent mid/senior level software engineers. There's lots of fields in the tech sector: tech-support, documentation, quality assurance, software testing, etc.

Nothing this last year has led me to believe you'll have any trouble getting a engineering job provided you're not looking for an entry-level position.
It is essential not to confuse Soviet armed forces with Stalin himself. The former had to fight, with a great handicap, under the latter. People of the countries occupied first by one power and then the other suffered most.
To add to that, the mask is in some sense "punch tested" nearly every time you use it. Far better for it to fail in a test.

It depends; part of their appeal is they can get you significant savings by taking longer.

But that’s not because of transmission times (updating a database is faster than a blockchain), it’s because they get a better price for currency by batching you up with other people.

Just because you didn't get an answer doesn't mean someone got offended. Chill.
You are right. Friedberg.

But, what I am calling for is not a lawless reprisal but something a little closer to appropriate punishment than either is likely to get. Punishment that many people in countries with much more history culture and civilization than ours, like China, would agree is gentle and mild for these kind of crimes. In China someone like SBF would likely just be executed, and yes, this seems on the harsh side of reasonable and deserved - but only just.

No you didn't. My claim was that the clustering of maintenance being due to similar age would imply the offline reactors would be the same age.

You agreed with me. The clustering of maintenance is from failing to correctly manage the inherent unreliability and high costs of maintenance.
I’m really surprised by the love of web rings shown here. Even in the late 90s they felt cheesy, and by the early 2000s seemed like most of them were prey to scams. There must have been some sort of typo-squatting thing going on because I recall clicking some web ring links and then suddenly you’d get to a site that had nothing to do with the topic at hand. In fact, the way I remember it, usually after 1 to 2 links in the ring, you were off in left field at something completely unrelated. Maybe I was just unlucky? I do remember getting spammed with requests to add my site to many web rings, all of which seemed very poorly run. Maybe it had something to do with the particular topics I had on my site? I don’t really know.

I think it's more or less understood today that while lend-lease was a big deal, Hitler had no real way of winning the war against the Soviet Union. It was logistically impossible. Even taking Moscow wouldn't have helped.

Nazi Germany sealed its fate with Barbarossa. And it made it even worse by making it a war of extermination (unlike in other theaters of the war), a fight so barbaric and racially charged it forced a desperate defense on the Soviets, because surrender truly wasn't possible; and for the same reason, they ensured the revenge would be terrible.
That... is amazing! Gives me the warm fuzzies. Thanks for posting.
Of course, we don’t all feel that we have free will.
A good response to people like Schopenhauer is: "Not everyone has an ordinal complex, Mr Freud, just you."

Willpower is absolutely a muscle that needs to be cultivated over the long term, as is every other character trait.

I don't think people realize this, but it only takes about 2-3 months of hard, conscious effort to build a habit. On the scale of a lifetime, that is such a short time to make a change in your character. Unfortunately, it can take as little as 2 weeks to break a habit.

Hello, author here.

I think I failed to communicate the core idea of the article here. Of course what I describe is a product of the human condition, my argument was simply that "intelligence" dials up that conditioning, resulting in the person being more prone to such suffering.

Everyone thinks, everyone questions, it's just that the intelligence tends to make you think and question a lot more, resulting more often in the separation of mind and body. There are many research studies on this subject as well, I mentioned one of them in the article : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016028961....

The other part of the article was focused more on our higher expectation from such people around us, setting them up for greater disappointment. And the limitations of intelligence, how cognitive biases can creep in even if you are a highly rational person.

Also thank you for expressing your concern and kind words, I am not actually dealing with an existential crisis at the moment, although I have in the past :)

> From there, things only got worse for Be. The company lingered around until 2001 when it sold its copyrights to Palm for $11 million USD. In 2002, Be brought litigation against Microsoft for anticompetitive practices, but the suit was settled out of court for $23.25 million. After purchasing BeOS, Palm promptly discontinued the OS. Palm itself later had some problems, split, and sold. The rights to BeOS are now in the hands of Access Co along with PalmOS.

I wonder what did Apple do that BeOS didn't to succeed. And didn't Microsoft basically "save" Apple at some point?
Replit x India (Part 1)
More like Qualcomm doesn't want to spend the money to do it. Google can't update the binary drivers and firmware that Qualcomm gives them. And Google only has so much leverage in order to get Qualcomm to provide updates to older hardware.

Sure, Google could release newer Android versions (assuming they'll run under whatever last kernel version Qualcomm provided support for, which isn't always the case), or at least release patches for flaws in Android itself, as long as they'd want to, but after the chipset support runs out, they can't update some drivers and firmware. I think it's not unreasonable to just declare those devices as insecure and move on.

Google has managed to get support up to five years, but only on newer Pixel devices. I'm sure that wasn't an easy negotiation.

Apple, in contrast, builds all the hardware and software in iPhones and iPads, so they can decide to support devices for as long as they wish.

Mastodon can be successful for the people who use it even if it doesn't "make it big" enough to dethrone Twitter, Facebook, etc.

There are longstanding challenges to marketing something like Mastodon. Call it the "fediverse" or "PubSubHubBub" and I think people's eyes glaze over. But it doesn't have to appeal to everybody, and it might be better if it doesn't... Wouldn't it be great if we could undo the "Eternal September?"

And you're not? Bitcoin and crypto-currencies do not solve this problem either. There are thousands of reasons many of us are completely fed up with crypto, the biggest of which is the supporters push the same discredited B.S. every single time.

Again, I am mostly interested because it would be representative of architectural efficiency to perform such a test. If the top-spec processor is more efficient at a given power level than another, the same applies to lesser processors as well, in general (in particular, laptops and the like)
