Viewing colonization of Ireland as starting with the Plantation of Ulster is misleading, since the Plantation was motivated by the fact that Ulster was the least effectively colonized part of Ireland at that point.

(Which, I guess, further underlines the error of saying colonization of Ireland started two hundred years after the Plantation.)
We’ve done that migration at $dayjob. Has taken a lot of getting used to. The data model is different (perhaps poor setting choices) causing some wacky query requirements for our charts which devs often don’t understand to misleading charts. We’re slowly switching to OTEL which should solve that problem. Otherwise there’s also much to be desired in how our grafana behaves interims of saving preferences (ours doesn’t; stateless head? I forget why) which is annoying. Also the tracing/APM is missing out of the box though some teams are working on getting that going too.

So a classic build vs buy story I guess. Probably will pay less in the long run but for a worse and rocky road experience so far.

>They forbid the use of the terms gender identity among others

Please cite the laws where this term is legally forbidden to be used. And please don’t give us examples where a government agency that might just use a different term, because that is not the same thing. Pleas give us so e specific laws where it’s use is overtly forbidden.

> They also have restricted access to gender affirming healthcare even in the private sector

You are making a blanket generalized statement here but how about you give us what “they” are actually restricting and what their argument as to why they are restricting it actually is and why that argument is wrong.

Not knowing what specifics you are referring to, but my suspicion is the what is the use of puberty blockers and the who is young children. That would make your statement lack some important nuance. It’s also not necessarily an unusual or even controversial stance for conservatives to act conservatively in regards to supporting novel medical treatments on children. Especially treatments that are even polarizing within medical circles and can have a lifelong impact.

Interestingly, the Pentium Overdrive mentioned in your linked article will actually run relatively recent OSes - the latest release of Slackware, for instance, should still run on it.

I have the 83MHz version in my old 486 (though it's really not a 486 anymore - ha ha), and got Slackware booting on it out of sheer curiosity a few years ago. What surprised me is that, modern software aside, 14.x wasn't much slower than a period-accurate Linux - Slackware 14 (2010s) and Mandrake 7 (1999) booted at more or less the same speed.

Single-letter variable names are fine for very short loops in some cases and that's about it. Nearly all other uses unnecessarily obfuscate the code for those who have to maintain it later. (Including Future You.)
Actually, rigid body simulators using impulse based constraint solvers can simulate soft constraints (including soft contact), and you can control the stiffness from very stiff to very soft without becoming totally unstable.

I've been curious about whether Windows XP or newer could be finagled to run on an i80486 or equivalent

I believe it requires some 586-level instructions, so it won't work without some serious patching.
I think they're running the emulator on a primitive machine to get needed instructions that are otherwise unavailable?
I bought it used, and with the expectation that I'm going to be on the hook for my own long-term maintenance and support, as is true with more or less everything I buy. (Full-time Linux user here.)

The sad reality is that the experience of running an off-brand phone with an easily-replaceable battery would, long-term, be much worse than running a locked-in flagship that LineageOS builds for.
Wouldn’t that be more work than releasing updated signatures? That’s an entire extra code path to maintain versus a routine and trivial operation.

You're probably unlucky enough to share an ASN with a spammer. I wish I didn't have to degrade service like this for some people, but the alternative is not serving any traffic at all because the site is constantly DOSed by bots.
If you mean running apps made for those platforms, I wouldn't say that you have to be particularly lucky to do so. Even apps that try to write into shared registry or their own installation folder mostly work (because Windows emulates it by transparently creating writable copies).
The media consumed by the typical member of this audience would lead you to believe that. For some reason, everyone is trying to organize a recession.
You already enumerated the reasons this happened, many of which were beyond your control. Just keep that in mind when you're writing the documentation you were considering. It will explain your thought process as a developer, and as a bonus it will help cover your ass when whiny engineers (and managers) begin to pick at your code choices. Heck, even just writing the documentation and having it in your back pocket will help you feel better, even if nobody ever sees it.

Document everything over time, so you can show why you did "X" before you were told about "Y". Also document that you offered to do a rewrite but were rejected. Don't be afraid of naming names--not in a vindictive way, but very matter-of-factly.

Engineers love to whine about other engineers' code, especially when they don't understand it, regardless of how well or poorly it was written. Ignore the haters. Ironically, it's the ones who complain the most who usually know the least.

If your code works, there's probably little chance anyone will authorize any kind of incremental rewrite since a) it costs money (your time), and b) it will require testing (again, more money/time). Don't sweat it. Your code will join the huge, largely unseen iceberg of substandard code that underpins just about every project in the world. Welcome to the club!

>Now you need a passport and the border agents are often incredibly hostile.

Are the Canadian agents hostile as well, or only the American ones?

>The people are super nice, the government... not so much.

The Americans that tend to go into law enforcement jobs are not super nice people, quite the opposite really. It's really eye-opening going to other countries outside the US and interacting with cops and other law enforcement agents (including airport security and customs agents) and seeing just how differently you're treated. Even as a US citizen, entering the US is not a fun experience at all.

No. And it's very intentional. You're not even legally allowed to run macOS VMs on non Apple hardware.

What's far worse than macOS not being a server OS is the hardware you're forced to contend with. Apple makes no server hardware. You end up with a disgusting hodgepodge of vendors making offerings that are largely redundancy in the way of massive falovers of mac minis. It's very unfortunate and makes self hosting or specifically (hardware or otherwise) needs extremely difficult.
Something very nostalgic about this. Reminds me of of the days of playing Tanks II on Maid Marian, or the Gorillaz Final Drive game.

I just timed the boot speed for my Windows 11 desktop. Once with a regular shutdown, once with fast startup disabled (which was introduced with Windows 8). 10-12 seconds to get to the login screen (after typing my BitLocker password). 7 seconds to login using face authentication. I do have very modern specs (Ryzen 9 5900X, 32 GB RAM, Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus) but my suspicions are that your boot speed could be dramatically reduced by just upgrading to an SSD.

Here's metrics from Tom's Hardware comparing an HDD to two types of SSDs (SATA and NVMe)[1] on a Windows 10 machine. The HDD had a boot time of 42.9 seconds. The SATA SSD a time of 17.2 and the NVMe SSD a time of 16.1 seconds.

With the advantage of fast startup the HDD machine was able to boot under a minute but the SATA SSD still cut the boot time of the machine by nearly 2/3rds.

Well... yes, but also no. I bring up the plantation of Ulster because it has the most direct comparison to more recent colonization efforts; that makes it easy to draw a nice line in the sand saying "this is when it happened". With the rest of Ireland, it's a slower process that started with the norman invasion and isn't nearly as clear cut.

I think it is somewhat platform dependent. I don’t know anyone that uses Facebook except for the weird kids I went to high school with or senior citizens. People my age (20s-30s) will occasionally post major life event photos, ie wedding, baby, etc.

Instagram still seems wildly popular especially among women. My wife is definitely addicted.

YouTube will probably have the most longevity because of the breadth of topics on the platform. I can use youtube for anything tutorial/learning related, hobby related content, and also occasionally dive down a random rabbit hole.
Unlike the stable matching/marriage problem, the menage problem doesn't make much sense when you remove the idea of gender and its social presumptions. Maybe employers and interns looking to find next year'a internship?
I read that as $100k for the plane and $120k to decommission/dismantle and tow it to his property. So 220k total for a hair over 1k sqft. For reference a quick search says that would run you ~300k today in that town and the one property I could find listed with pricing back to the 90's indicates it probably would have been about $100k then.
- Real products get cruft. Developers always complain about the state of things.

- Everybody writes bad code, and you learn and get better as you go along. If something is bad and you can see that and take responsibility, that sounds good, and it sounds like you have learnt and become better. You don't need excuses like "personal issues".

- You aren't always going to be as smart or good as your colleagues, sometimes you just have to come to terms with that.

- Major refactors of a product are rarely the right way to go. If you can do it progressively and gradually that is almost certainly the better approach.

- Almost zero percent chance you will find a "fresh" codebase in any new job. A change can be helpful, but it doesn't change yourself.

Good luck with it. Happy New Year.

While you’re right that Linux doesn’t have the binary compatibility Windows does, I think you gloss over the advantages of source availability. Having the source lets you patch bugs and avoid the (impressive and commendable) hacks described in the article.

It’s also worth noting certain Linux releases have extended support so you continue to get security updates without upgrading (a strategy Microsoft also uses).

Still, it is a downside of Linux and macOS compared to Windows.
I have body image issues and I weigh myself multiple times a day; and potentially this has an effect on how and what I do and put in my body. Probably bc the outdated BMI charts say I’m overweight at 155lbs and 5’6” height.

But I also track every medication, beverage, food consumption, junk I put in my body.

For me, more data provides more insight and control over my body. Maybe I’m just nuts?
Two years is not an abnormally long development cycle in game dev.
I can do small bits progressively, but a major refactor has been shot down by leadership

Why? Ask. Maybe it solves problems well enough and maintenance costs are low enough that they'd rather you were contributing to Y instead of reworking X to be better for programmers but not have a noticeable impact on the bottom line. Understanding where that functionality fits into the business model will probably help you understand the development constraints better and worry less about the issue. It might also indicate that the management are being shortsighted or not really listening to feedback from their engineering people.

If you hear a negative comment from someone else, it's good that you realize it's about the problematic code rather than you. You could (again) ask how they'd approach the issue, given that you can't get resources to cover the cost of a refactor. Maybe they can team up to persuade management? Or maybe they can suggest a way to get it done faster. Maybe you can prototype the better version and then use that to change the suits' mind. Meantime, if your fellow team members don't have a full understanding and they are not the ones who had to land the plane, then you should discount the weight you assign to their approval.
Apparently they're not a fan of consistency, either :)

It's a red herring because this article is about reported statistics from country to country. When the media in one relatively free country skews statistics, that is generally reported by opposition media in the same country and in other free countries abroad. Certainly it's right to point out that some "free" media has skewed statistics or parroted an establishment line about covid, and pointing it out is exactly what a free press is for. And if you read news from alternative and European and Latin American outlets as well, you can spot the biases of some MSM reporting in the US. But what is a red herring is pointing out MSM bias in the same breath as Chinese propaganda, presenting it in a context by which it is somehow meant to excuse the total top-down censorship of an unfree press. The attempt to draw draw that equivalence is the favorite tactic of dictatorships. It's not just a matter of detecting lies, but of exposing truth. For instance, the lab leak hypothesis would never have even been mentioned in an unfree press; to simply know that your government is lying via press manipulation only tells you that you don't know anything. It doesn't tell you what they're hiding from you. Yet the American press has shown itself free enough to expose these things, giving one the opportunity to determine what may or may not be true. That opportunity simply doesn't exist in the Chinese media ecosystem.
What wording would satisfy your criteria of not being flame bait while still being allowed to discuss the subject?
Yup, I remember the 80s. The moral majority types were the biggest supporters of censorship and threat to free speech. It was the young and the artists etc protesting for free speech.

Engineers have been doing this kind of thing for a very long time. Animators just take lots of shortcuts because they can, but we’re probably at the point (if it doesn’t exist already) where you can animate with the actual properties of real materials with different models appropriate for the specific material.

An engineer designing a product can certainly run it through a simulation that accurately predicts elastic and plastic deformation as well as fracture and other failure modes.
The Canadian agents are comically friendly, but that's because I'm coming back into my own country, where I'm a citizen, and, y'know, they have to let me in. Cuz it's my country. I hear from Americans that they're often not very nice, but it sounds not nearly as terrible as "please stand in this room for an hour AND DON'T TOUCH YOUR PHONE while we tear your car apart for no reason because, I dunno... a hunch or something... oh, all's fine have a nice day bye enjoy your tourist trip to the USA"
I’m also a la sportiva enthusiast. I’ve found the women’s shoes to fit even better than the men’s. I’m on my third pair of women’s solutions and they are so good. I think the women’s shoes are made for a lighter person (I weigh about 135) and they are very sensitive and easy to feel footholds with.
On a similar note, I like variable names that are in the same style, e.g. fooBar or bazBat. That means if I ever see a variable named simply foo or bar, there's likely to be a problem.
Weight loss has been the hardest thing I've done in my life so far.

Going to college? Easy in comparison. Getting a good job? Was a lot of work but I did it. Losing weight? Something I've been struggling with for 12 years.

2022 was the first time I ever saw dramatic success - I lost 75 pounds. Sure I've got another 140 to go, but 1/3rd of the way is nothing to be ashamed of.

Had to completely reinvent my life and the hardest part was learning to love a healthier lifestyle - reworking my mind to no longer consider exercising as an uninteresting and painful chore, to actually enjoy it. Learning that it was okay to be hungry. Taking advantage of work from home so that all my breaks were me going outside and exercising. Dropping the "using food as a coping mechanism" thing.

But wow, the results are incredible. I'm still a fat shit by any metric, but I feel so much better than I did last year. I'm genuinely excited to learn how I feel when I'm done.
Not a bad idea, going to order myself a food scale on the next pay day. Still figuring things out, I just know what has been working for me so far.
Weight is a poor metric to track in isolation, prone to error. Much more robust to also track waist circumference.

There is actually a neat formula called the navy formula to estimate body fat and lean mass from four variables for men and five for women. For men: waist circumference, weight, neck circumference, height. Women should also add hip circumference.

There are calculators online, but for anyone interested I expressed the formula into this Shortcut for Apple devices. You enter your height (do this once, in the blank text field above height)

Then, measure your neck circumference and remember it. This won’t change much. I measure mine maybe once every 1-2 months or if my other measures changed significantly.

Then, whenever you would normally weigh yourself, measure your waist too. Then enter weight + waist + neck circumference. The Shortcut will then calculate the following and log to Apple Health:

* Weight

* Waist circumference

* BMI

* Estimated lean mass

* Estimated body fat

The last two obviously have an error, but it will be a fairly consistent error so the trend over time will be clear.

For instance recently I gained a bit of weight. But my waist circumference went down a little. So my weight increase is actually muscle, and I’m going in the right direction.

Shortcut is here: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/1be74cce1ac24c03821feb7e36d...

Don’t have a woman’s version unfortunately, made this for my own use. If there’s interest I could probably create a version that includes hip circumference
