Some of these continental orgs are quite flexible about what countries they permit to join. For example Israel is also in Eurovision, but it’s not in Europe. Similarly Australia are part of the Asian Football Confederation rather than Oceania’s Football Confederation (and Israel is a member of UEFA rather than AFC, for obvious reasons)

I don’t think anyone is saying “Australia is part of Europe” with a straight face though :-)

Thomas byrom's "The Heart of Awareness" is a popular translation for a quick read.

If you want something denser with commentaries and explanations, Swami Nityaswarupananda's translation is great. Another good translation keeping western audiences in mind is Duet of One by Ramesh Balsekar.
Wemake [1] is much more comprehensive, although you might find it overwhelming at first. It includes a lot of useful flake8 rules that tackle complexity, enforce consistency and best practices and much much more.

Yeah, and on a similar note, I'm done with thinking globally.

I'm tired of wanting the world to be a better place and designing systems for the entire world. Instead, I want to focus on small scale local problems.
I can't imagine a company like that would make a good landlord.

The Germans I met were in America so likely a biased sample, but it was more than one and they didn’t know each other.

In addition I got the threat of being replace with a cheaper immigrant in the US even though I was the immigrant, but I worked in research which is generally paid much more than other programmers so more likely to encounter the whole why are we paying you so much sentiment.
I left software engineering after about 10 years to become a patent attorney. I'm about 3 months in (post-law school).

I left software engineering because I just couldn't see myself doing it for another 20 years, especially if it was going to involve even more meetings (ie. management). I chose patent law because it seemed tech-adjacent.

I'm in biglaw now. Too early to say if this was a wise move or not, but I do find myself fondly reminiscing about my cushy life as a SWE often, already. I have work much, much harder as a patent attorney and have much less free time and time off. Yes I get paid more, too. This is partially a function of biglaw, and partially a function of the legal world in general that is tethered to the billable hour.

I guess my point is to take careful stock of the lifestyle being a SWE affords you relative to the workload and compensation before making any drastic moves.

This is much better. Why tax families who live in their homes the same way as landlords with large holdings?
> That is not an excuse for a corporation to rape and pillage the countryside, break any law, or behave in an objectively unethical manner.

The problem is that the laws that are relevant in this context are far from a static body. They are in constant flux as new behaviors, new knowledge and new technologies are adopted. This necessitates continous new rule making and new regulations that must be fit-for-purpose.

Shareholder profit maximization under current systems means it is rational (and a very profitable project) to proactively capture the political system. There is no meaningful penalty and eliminating the downside or creating more upside is enormously valuable (in monetary terms).

Instead of rule takers that must optimize profit within their designated sandbox, giant private entities become the unchallenged rule makers. This is not intrinsically and automatically evil. It becomes so whenever the monetary profit of a narrow set is grossly misaligned with the welfare of broader segments of society.

Examples abound. As they keep piling up they undermine the legitimacy of the very system. Killing the golden goose of a well governed market democracy and opening the door for uglier versions of society.
The "obvious" answer (which Cloudflare does not like for "obvious" reasons) is for them to just say: Sure, Austria, if you give us a court order to remove/block a certain customer identified by hostname, we will do so, no need to block the entire IP.

But yes, they want to have it both ways -- the only way available to you to block is an overreach that harms the internet, and we are not interested in providing you other ways to block.
Dunno if it's all that different now, a lot of the people involved with russian cosmism would have lived during, or seen at least the end of Stalin's reign when they were young.
I just can’t watch Rossmann’s videos anymore. He’s a smart guy with important things to say, but it’s hard to take him seriously. His videos are 90% hyperbole, cynicism, and snide remarks. It’s too much to put up with to figure out what he’s really trying to say. I have to wonder if this style appeals to his audience, or if he’d be more effective without it.

This is a good one, did the same a while back and it feels much more refreshing. Its also a natural thing to do as over time your preferences do shift.

I think that there is a parallel with the benefits of changing the route of your daily walk; it stimulates brain activity and can help you start seeing things differently or find a solution to a problem. Routines can be good, but adjusting them a bit from time to time can be definitely beneficial.

For a long time I hadn’t either. It’s become much more well-known in last few years though - around this time of year a few places like BBC or Guardian run stories on this tradition.
Yeah I don’t get it. The Axum example is pretty easy and the actix counterpart would be easier.

Was chatting to my younger cousins the other day and they were surprisingly hostile against landlords. Not some types or some practices - all of it. Even relatives doing single buy to let.

Younger generation really isn’t on board with all this & only a matter of time before it shows in polls
If you allow me to recommend something to that:

Add a line about what are you thankful for. Doesn't need to be something grand or phylosophical, something banal like "I'm thankful for for the paved road that connects to my house." works best IMHO. It vastly improves with the average mood in my experience. [1]

This is how it is for me. Feeling anxious, stressed, depressed or nervous? Even on a 30F day I can head to the beach and feel at peace. Until obnoxious types start showing up that is, and it's as simple as moving and I easily re-find my calm.

Contrast that to say, my backyard or a park. Quiet and calm and I feel good. Let a dog bark for a few minutes or an obnoxious person nearby and my peace is "destroyed" and I have to leave.
This isn’t a new thing and there are demonstrable problems caused by private equity becoming involved in rental housing in Atlanta: https://www.ajc.com/news/investigations/dwellings/apartments...

It isn’t surprising that they want to start in Atlanta, as the combination of few renter protections, lax code enforcement, and affordable housing subsidies can combine to make an ideal situation for maximizing profit at the cost of human misery.
You can download it in Amazon‘s format, which (for DRM-free books) converts well to ePub in Calibe.

Nothing paradoxical. Creation and consumption are two opposite things. Creation requires active brainpower. Passively consuming what others have already created just devoids one's brain of the creative powers.
Corporate rental housing should not be allowed. Free markets are not fair enough to make sure everyone is properly housed, and once enough of it is owned they will price gouge. There are plenty of other places for companies to make money.

In my opinion, housing is the final frontier for this. If housing is bought up by corporates and rented back, we are both feet into corporate dystopia. Land should be between citizens and the states that write the titles.
This is one advantage of Ada, where parameters are abstractly declared as "in" or "in out" or "out". The compiler can then decide how to best implement it for that specific size and architecture.
1) The only thing I would suggest for OP is to have some patience and wait for after New Years. Many normal business activities are shutdown or slowed between Christmas-New Years as many key staff for all organizations are basically on vacation. Depending on when this issue started, you might be dealing with some less experienced members of Stripe's staff who might be on duty through Christmas-New Years with the main managers who are able to decide big questions taking a holiday. There might be a question mark about your account, and they really can't do much of anything for you right now other than collect your information and give their report to their managers when they come back.

2) To the people who say that these kinds of stories aren't relevant and shouldn't be posted on HN, I'd strongly disagree for these reasons.

> There are many startup founders here who won't ever realize that keeping loads of cash in their payment processor is a bad idea if they don't see these stories. Just because they've been posted in the past doesn't mean that they'll see them now if they're not regularly posted.

> This is legitimately an issue that affects peoples' lives: not only many jobs if companies can't make payroll, but actual life/death. I'm sure there's a number of entrepreneurs who have eventually committed suicide because of bad/scummy behavior of tech companies causing them to lose everything they've worked for.
In my experience, the main benefit of corporate landlords is predictability. Especially when they are large. They have a reputation, and you know in advance what you get.

Private landlords are a gamble. They are better on the average, but the variance is also higher. Because most private landlords only have a handful of properties, it's effectively impossible to know in advance what they will be like if something goes wrong.

It find that in such situations it helps to start small, regain strength step by step. Same for your job search. I personally tend to always want to do everything in the shortest time possible, this can be quite overwhelming and then you don’t achieve anything.
"$25 for each missed check-in"? Personally I find it unnecessary to involve money here if the idea is to involve and push people to develop habits. There could be a lot of reasons to compel one to login daily. For example, if I knew my account would be blocked if I did not log in, I would have surely logged in everyday and might have paid for the service too if the interface was good.

I don't think Congress even matters anymore now that the Supreme Court and lower courts are owned by the Federalist Society. I suspect any attempts to tax capital will be determined to be unconstitutional now. The US is locked in all the way.

Mr Bean travels well because it's universal humour requiring no translation. Has done well in British consciousness for a single 15 episode series too. For slightly related reasons, Norman Wisdom became absolutely massive in the Eastern Bloc because his apolitical slapstick could be portrayed as "struggling against capitalism" :D
This is not correct. The ssh-rsa signature algorithm is being phased out, but that's not the same thing as RSA keypairs for authentication. This page has a good explanation of what's going on:

https://levelup.gitconnected.com/demystifying-ssh-rsa-in-ope...

It's unfortunate that there's a signature algorithm and a key format with the same name, because that definitely leads to confusion in cases like this. But RSA keypairs are fine for now.
That assumes that every person you add has the ability to understand all the details plus is actually willing to do their best to find any remaining issues. Somehow this doesn't match up with my real world experience. It also assumes that convoluted rules will hinder larger companies from exploiting the rules, which is actually the other way around: The larger they are, the better they get at finding loopholes and using them for their own gains. Plus you make it increasingly more difficult to see where your regulatory body has been compromised.

Humans don't work like tech, so adding more and more layers doesn't help really, and I haven't found any organizational form which can inherently prevent humans from being human, it just doesn't exist. For example, all the "paperwork" around safety only works if humans are actually interested in maximizing safety and not just filling out papers.

My first inquiry is how this concept could be applied in general, Prolog is just a tool, what other tools exist?

We can also think about other semantic queries such as RDF. Also Freebase offered this kind of queries[1] and now DBPedia.

> Microservices can't have dependencies between each other otherwise they aren't microservices.

See Hyrum's law:

Put succinctly, the observation is this:

With a sufficient number of users of an API,
it does not matter what you promise in the contract:
all observable behaviors of your system
will be depended on by somebody.

One example we bumped spring from 2.1->2.4 (not actual version numbers) Harmless, no? What's worst that can happen?

Failure when doing some but not all operations.

Why? Because some Python/Java micro-services down the operation chain expected null fields to be omitted and the default behavior was changed (between Spring versions) to write null fields instead. Which only occurred on those services that relied on null fields being omitted. Fix was easy but finding the bug was difficult.
My first thought was "now what is the calling convention for float parameters again? they are passed in registers right? the compiler can probably arrange so they don't have to actually be copied" and then I realized it will probably even inline it.

Anyway, assuming it's not inlined I would guess pass-by-copy, maybe with an occasional exception in code with heavy register pressure.

Edit: Actually since it's a structure, the calling convention is to memory allocate it and pass a pointer, doh. So it should actually compile the same.

The above comment wasnt complete. The airline must still provide either a refund or alternate travel arrangements (regardless of if a delay is within their control or not). There is additional monetary compensation required if the flight is delayed by more than a certain number of hours (but only if it is within the airline's control)

Sad, but predicted. It's academic opportunism. "We may not have a spine, but we do have tenure, so let's roll with the tide." This is usually accompanied by vaguely positive statements and wishful thinking. It was already evident when The Closing of the American Mind was published, over 30 years ago. The ever advancing commercialization of universities has made the staff even more susceptible to public opinion (and public here means: their students and benefactors).
Just glancing at it (FYI, I run NixOS on my main dev machine), it looks like it uses ABRoot which gives you 1 install to fall back on if 1 fails. I love that NixOS gives me N installs to fall back on (where N is whatever you configure it to be) because I've often needed to go back more than 1 to identify a problem that I didn't notice until 2-3 updates later.

Actually, as a natural tinkerer, what I call the "NixOS seatbelts" (being able to pick any of the last N updates via GRUB to boot into) have saved me numerous times already. I no longer feel comfortable using any other Linux distro. The declarative config and per-project dev environments are cake as well (once you get past the Nix language, which is basically just "JSON-like, plus pure functions")

My take on why they aren't more popular is that they are difficult to produce. Packer works, but it's slow and the artifacts it produces are bloated. I've been dreaming up a better tool for a while now that would make it possible to build images much faster regardless of whether you're on macOS/Windows/Linux. The hope is that it would be good enough to replace mutable systems managed with configuration management. Not really ready for use yet though.
