While I generally don't support this view, in my corner of the world there's an unexpected advantage of having access to cars, namely they give one leverage when picking where to live.

Around here the middle class can't afford real estate - not in 2022 at least. The credit advisor working for a housing development company who I met the other day told me that 75% of their clients pay cash, because the pool of those who are eligible for a mortgage is so small nowadays.

Housing close to public transport gets expensive really quick. Meanwhile if you have a car you can live in the middle of buttfuck nowhere and actually have the credit score for the property because it costs half of anything close to civilisation.

Of course there are fuel costs and whatnot, but you can work with/around that. There's no going around not having the credit score for a even a one-bedroom apartment in the city.

Here's a collection of European countries where there's no consistent trend in urbanization vs the Netherlands, which apparently are turning into a collection of cities:

I'm not. Clearly they've long since abandoned any pretense of being an actual labor movement, but this is what the left is now and everybody knows what is meant. The majority of self identified left-leaning people will vote for and support democrat party politicians.

It's just as unhelpful to try to claim there are no right wing politicians in the United States because none of them actually support free markets or small government. Technically true by at least some of the multitude of definitions, but it's just being contrary.

I get that a lot of leftists are probably deeply embarrassed and upset by what their movement has become. I was too. But language evolves and so do political movements, and it's more correct to say that the leftist movement in the United States (and largely the western world) are no longer of and for the worker.

They certainly aren't traditional liberals either, defined by support for liberty, individual rights, equality, ad tolerance.

Hands down the Supernote A6X by Ratta. After having used styluses on phones and Apple Pencils on iPads, I thought that writing on a digital device would always be a gimmick.

The writing experience on the Supernote though has been incredible - I've started (and kept up) a journaling habit every day after 10 years of trying. It's my go to when it comes to brainstorming. They update the software with major updates routinely.

Easily my favorite purchase of 2022. My fingers are crossed for an A4X some time in the future as that would be incredible for brainstorming.

Good thing it was pointed out by the Chief Engineer. I wonder how he worked it out but I guess we can trust him... /s
From the document:

> balls to the wall | accelerate efforts | Attributes personality traits to anatomy.

I've always thought this term had nothing to do with anatomy; am I incorrect here?

From https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/balls_to_the_wall

> First attested in the 1960s in the context of aviation, in reference to ball-shaped grips on an aircraft's joystick and throttle. Pushing the "balls to the wall" would put the plane into a maximum-speed dive
> Not related to the vulgar sense of balls (“testicles”).

Sometimes yes. Some people I followed were banned because... they mentioned mastodon I guess? Will someone else disappear for a random reason tomorrow? Maybe. If you don't know what the rules are today because they'll be announced tomorrow, that's not really "working".

Meanwhile for the community I follow, almost everybody but crossposters is gone. Effectively for my interests, Twitter is dead, even if it contains many more people / is more successful overall.
> The idea that the average income of mass transit users is higher than that of drivers (pre-pandemic) is counter intuitive.

I don’t know about NYC but here in DC you’ll see the same argument made. The demographics of commuter rail and long-distance subway trips are more affluent because that’s who can live in those suburbs (federal government commuters also get subsidies which are appealing compared to the traffic), while bus ridership had a lot more poor and especially elderly people. Trying to come up with one policy for the average of all 3 systems is going to be misleading in every direction.

I've helped compile guidance on inclusive language for my company. Whoever came up with this list has scored an own-goal against people who genuinely seek to make their communities more inclusive.

There are words like "slave" that actually cause offense to real people when used in a trivialising way. Accordingly, terminology around databases and the like has changed, and that's a good thing.

A laundry list of terms to be "eliminated", some of which are completely harmless makes a joke of real problems and is the opposite of helpful.

I don't like doing this, because i really don't care about this particular discussion, and i'm certainly not a native speaker. I agree with you on this particular post, but i want to add something (and i think you were both uncharitable to each other, which is dumb when talking about linguistics).

The term "bitch" is now mostly non-gendered, used against men and women, would you agree?

Still, when used in a text ranting about political enemies, and not as an endearing term, don't you have an image of a group of women (blue-haired hippies, or blond-haired Karens depending on your political bias :) )? Or of a feminine man?

I'm obviously not an english major and had no idea scold was used primarily for women historically, but being charitable to OP, can't you both have a very different lecture of the word, depending on each other exposition? Be it by age, or even culture.
When you say "emphasis on" you mean the single mention with no distinction between that stat and the any other of the facts of the case? I don't think they really put any weight on if that's a lot or not.

Personally I would say it is a lot. No other number mentioned in the article even approaches a billion. Billions are big. It might be not be true big data big, but it is still a lot of customer records for a migration project (depending on what exactly they were trying to do within the migration) and it does illustrate why they had so many issues, because there was a lot to deal with.
What's your goals for the project? I mean it's obviously possible, the question would be why?
Better to figure out long term production plans, i.e. “we need to get out of china bc the US/china relationship is deteriorating”, before committing to production. This is fine.
> UNIX workstations hardware was always miles and miles better[0], although it could no longer compete with the commodity PC hardware due to being exorbitantly priced

This was true early on, as in, early 90s-ish. But in the second half of the decade the balance shifted significantly and by the late 90s, Unix workstations could no longer compete with the commodity PC hardware due to being slower. I was doing sysadmin grunt work for a studio at the time and beige boxes ran circles around later generation Octane and Onyx machines.

They were also a nightmare to maintain by then. The market for peripherals and the like wasn't exactly open and there were all sorts of weird servicing deals. With beige boxes we didn't even need a formal procurement process for peripherals like keyboards and the like, we let people buy their own shit and reimburse them within some limit.

> You can’t be the one deciding if people are hurt or not, it’s their call.

Well that's precisely the problem isn't it? Anyone can get offended over anything, and the solution is not to try and compile a list to make sure no one gets offended ever again.
If there actually was even a 1% universal association of the color black with evil (instead of the more specific associations that happen in certain contexts), do you really think anyone in medieval times would have created representations of Jesus, Mary and other highly revered figures in black wood or metal?

It is up to anyone claiming such an effect exists to go and prove it with solid data, enough data to overturn hundreds of years of language use. And if such a link actually exists, and someone actually believes in it, then I would like to see them insist people don't wear black (or red, yellow, brown or whatever other color they think is racialized) to funerals.

Edit: I also want to comment on the idea that the brain's ability to generalize would apply to meaning bleeding between separate contexts that use the same words. I think this is a misunderstanding of how the brain works. Concepts used in our thought later get translated into (spoken/written) language, or back again when listening/reading. But, the concepts are not the words that they are represented by. The black of a funeral is not the same concept as the black used to refer to a black person, even though they use the same word or symbol. Just like I'm not applying anything I know about mice scurrying through my house to the mouse I'm holding in my hand while playing (even though the origin of the word is exactly that animal), there is no reason to think there is any transfer whatsoever between the various meanings of black, even if they are related.

It's like banning shovels because someone can get hit with a shovel. It's not a language problem, and it cannot be solved by chopping the language up on the Procrustean bed.

> Otherwise we wouldn't have trigger words. For sure you have one, too.

Sure, everyone has some. I probably have some too - I don't keep track of them, but I know mocking some of the things that I hold dear will definitely unsettle me.

That said, one of the core part of growing up, of becoming an adult, is learning not to get triggered, and in the rare cases you still are, learning to calm yourself down. It's a prerequisite for participating in and contributing to a healthy society.

Nobody could possibly keep track of the list of trigger words for everyone they could come into contact with. The list itself would cover so many phrases across so many topics as to prevent communication. Even if we could keep track of all of this (scary thought: for the first time in history, this may become possible, thanks to computers), erring on the side of avoiding any and all trigger words would be a security vulnerability, easily abused by people trying to gain power over others (arguably, the very list we're discussing is an example of this).

The point is, we can make some concessions for words or phrases that are intended to harm or known to negatively affect a lot of people - which is what cultures have been doing throughout the recorded history. Beyond those few concessions, it's up to individual to handle their own triggers, in a way that doesn't disturb everyone else's ability to communicate effectively.

"How thick does my rope need to be?"

I serve a website for my 3D printers from a Raspberry Pi (some are 3B+, some are Zero-W). It's just for "the set of people in the house who use the 3D printers", so the Pi is fine and obviously a viable candidate.

I have an ESP32 (or it might be an ESP8266 even; I'd have to look) that serves a status page for the boiler and near-boiler temps. That's also in-house only, but even that's on the slow side. https://imgur.com/a/JmeXYnj

What is the load this site is expected to serve? To what visitors? How static/cacheable is it? For me, an RPi goes a long way for anything in-house. Out of the house traffic, I'd look at a cheap VPS pretty early in the journey.
