>How do you explain this picture then?

The optempo of US Navy vessels is inconceivable to foreign navies.

Practically every second of every day while underway the ship is expected to be operational and a ship's itinerary is pre-determined down to the minute. Delays are not tolerated.

The fleet keeps getting smaller but the workload remains the same. The Navy is burning out its personnel and equipment trying to keep up.

The records for both longest deployment (215 days) and longest time at sea with no port calls (208 days) were both broken in 2020.

From 2017:

> The Navy has doubled its number of forward deployed naval forces ships operating out of Japan since 2006 – a bump from 20 to 40 ships – but those ships do not follow the Optimized Fleet Response Plan readiness generation model that includes dedicated time for ship maintenance and crew training ahead of rotational deployments.

https://news.usni.org/2017/09/20/cno-richardson-high-optempo...

The problem has only gotten worse since then.

The Navy used to heave to and have a day or two to clean up before entering port but they don't do that anymore. Those days cannot be wasted on cleaning.

As for the picture, if you told me that there were individual members of the US Navy crew that had more time at sea than the entire combined crew of the Polish ship, I would not dismiss that comment immediately as being implausible.

Online busybodies, like those commenting on the tweet you linked to, will bitch and moan about the navy going soft but they would crumble into dust under the pressures the Navy is operating under today.

The worst are the old-ass "CoLd WaRrIoRs" who spent 20 years in the navy doing a 3-month med cruise every year who got less time at sea than the 19-year old deck seaman on the rusty ship in that photo got before they pinned on E-3.

They would have gone AWOL if forced to go 200 days without touching dry land.
Sorry, not quite sure what you mean? Do you mean displaying the total power output (aka total demand) in MW rather than as a percentage? (In case that's correct, it's an interesting idea, I've been going back and forth on it, how would that info be useful?)
Too many people have been burnt by this before. All the reward goes to the boss and not the employees. I used to work 70+ hours and I didn't even get a thank you. I will only work those hours nowadays if I am working for myself. If not, there is no chance I will do it. It's not nice to know you are being used for someone else's personal gain.

This may be a valid approach.

But than this should be communicated adequately, imho.

(And better, more realistic examples, that aren't glaring wrong, would be a good idea. But I fear all examples would than melt down to pure functions. But pure functions were never an issue. In any language).

I really understand why someone would try to build a better language. All the premises in the blog post are right! Only that I fear that the conclusion are frankly quite off. Looks like the usual misunderstanding of "KISS" to me, to be honest.

(And I don't like to be to harsh actually. I know how much work it is to come up with anything that works at all. Languages are a very unrewarding field of work sadly).
the article isn’t written for the startup crowd, where what you say is largely true.
It's not a problem of the language's semantics, which state that stack overflow should trap: https://austral-lang.org/spec/spec.html#rationale-errors

Trapping on overflow requires passing a flag to GCC. I didn't list that in the readme because there's like fifty other hardening flags like that and it would overcomplicate the presentation. I'll certainly add it to the build system, when it exists.

Good that you are not buying, because I am not selling.

I am sure Randi exposed lots of charlatans, and my point is not to defend them. There are certainly lots of charlatans in those fields. There are charlatans everywhere, even in science.

My point was that no sensible person would take on Randi's offer, because ultimately you need to claim that something that cannot be measured can be measured. And that is not possible, because not everything can be measured. And those things that can be measured, would not be "paranormal" by Randi's standards.

I never said that there are no measurements for certain aspects of quality. If you care to look, you can see measurements even for certain aspects of things Randi would call paranormal. For example, there have been found measurable neurological changes in people who engage in certain kinds of meditation for extended periods.

But those aspects are consequences of the thing, they are not the thing itself. I don't see it very useful to argue about this. If you do not see that there are things that cannot be measured, we will not get much further in this discussion. And we we are already way too much on a tangent here anyway. Thanks for the discussion.
Before this situation started there was no South or North Vietnam, just one country. To say they invaded their own country is nonsense. The US invaded Vietnam, that is a better way to put it.

I've thought about this at length. The conclusions are right.
Lawyers after big damages are always going to try to blame every one even tangentially related to a crime for that crime, which encourages a society where we must presume every one guilty, until we prove them innocent, before engaging in a free market interaction with them.

If cash were a bank that could pay damages, they would blame every crime where cash changed hands, for that crime, and it would become the most vilified bank in the world.

There's a real problem with maven central and java in general that there's no correlation between the package name - which is nicely domain-name formatted - and actual domain names. If there were a clear "this is really thai domain name and DNS verified" and "this is compatible but not DNS verified" marker, it would be great.

I think golang has the best answer for this, where it's easy to impersonate but it has to be explicit.
No, they're beholden to their corporate charter and board. Shareholders who own voting stock can usually vote on who sits on the board. The shareholder and stock price primacy myth is just that, a myth.

Stock price is a part of a public companies responsibilities, but there are many other priorities and responsibilities a company's charter and board can set. Personally I only want to have stock in companies with a vision. Ultimately they tend to become the most valuable in terms of stock price too.

Sounds like the problem is not soft deleting, but applying soft deleting to _everything_ without thought.

Then he goes on to suggest an alternative that is even more complicated.

Just include a where deleted at is null check. Hide it behind some interface in your ORM if you dont want to think about it.

The government has interfered extensively in the housing market, this causes prices to go up. The same for the education and health care operations.

History & Engineering Behind the NYE Ball Drop (2018)
#10 is not only fine, but ought to be mandatory. How can you expect anyone ever to "engineer" something if they are not capable of making (and refining) rough estimates?

Sure, often you just have to measure. But I'd much rather work with the person who can get an order-of-magnitude estimate from a 10 minute measure than the person who gets a reasonably accurate estimate but only after taking half a day to set up the experiment.

> The idea that the EU is to be 'allied' with the US against China is an US-centric view, and implies subservience to the US because the goal really is to protect the US' position in the world.

The goal is to protect and grow freedom and democracy, and prosperity. Those require the international rules-based order (essentially, the equivalent of rule of law internationally) or you end up with rule by force, including war and oppression. To support that, you need a power able to act effectively and in a timely manner. The US has been the only option for that role since WWII, and Europe has strongly supported it.

Right after WWII, Europe was much too poor and devestated to play that role. Now they have the resources but not the political ability to make decisions and act: The US needs one person, the president, to act (within the law and in concert with others to make it politicaly viable). The EU requires approval by the leader of every country. As Kissinger famously said (paraphrasing): 'If I want to call Europe, who do I call?'

> I think the young guy they interviewed whose dad makes barely more than he will summed it up perfectly.

actually i found that to be the most flawed part. they didn’t describe the industry the dad was in, nor the dad’s wage when he had the son’s YOE. it’s fair to report the feelings of the son to the revelation, but intellectually dishonest to leave out some basic objective analysis around it.

that said, flaws or not, yes it seems that is the crux of it. people are done with working to improve the lot of the masters. something i think would help is to reduce CEO to median worker compensation multiple.
Millennials are the first generation to see the full impact of the brainless and soulless policies enacted by the US government in 40 years. They understand that what the government says are complete lies that are making people poor and destroying their livelihood.

Java is unique as the culture encourages doing magic convention over configuration by reflection AND it-just-works serialization, which leads to a new bug class: unsafe deserialization except that the deserialization happens in the library by default (e.g. fastjson, jackson, tons of struts2 bugs, etc) and propagates along the supply chain.

Libraries refuse to shift away from this culture thing, and decided to just blacklist the known exploit path while keeping the vulnerability intact. It's not that they do this for backward-compatibility, it's new libraries still being designed this way.

The log4j 2 bug is slightly different, but IMO as a design issue it has root in the same culture thing described above.
I noticed in the first set of screenshots/tests (the photo roll) the predicted price was nowhere near the predicted price bucket (eg the predicted price was in the second or third highest confidence group). I expected the post to go into that but was a bit disappointed.

Everybody got scared from Windows XP having to reboot twice per day and wait 10 minutes just to change your display resolution or install some Windows Update security patches. Updating display drivers without restart, was back then announced as a major feature of Windows Vista.

Funny because now, that's how both Android and iOS behave, with the difference that OS updates only come every other month and AB partitions making the installation process perceived as fast as only rebooting.
Companies have treated me as fungible and no better than the terms of my contract — which says par 40 hours per week.

Why do employers expect to treat me in that clinical way, but not have me mirror that behavior doing things exactly by terms to my maximal benefit?

Are we talking about the same Obsidian app? The knowledge base / markdown editor?

The iOS Obsidian app doesn't feel native at all, the interface is high latency, syncing is slow and problematic, many plugins don't work, poor touch support and serious performance issues even on the new iPhone 14 Pro.

It feels like a cheap and nasty Electron / JS heavy web frame.
Even without a single-subject rule, there's zero enforcement mechanism to prevent other interest groups from reneging on the packaging agreement and defeating one or more parts in detail. There's no stable point you can get via referenda if (policy A + policy B), (policy not-A), and (policy not-B) all would garner majority votes.
What tech? Where? Like a couple big companies in US? It's definitely not true everywhere. I work for a global corporation in their UK office and we're struggling to find talent to a point where our offers and benefits keep going up and up and up to attract and retain the talent that we have.

> I realise that this is a position that is in China's interests but that is also in Europe's interests and, really in "anyone that is not the US"'s interests.

It's not in the interests of people who want to be free, and desire peace and prosperity.

The subtext of these arguments is that there is no difference between China and the US, their vision, their goals, etc. It's demonstrably untrue. You can see it in the number of allies China has, even in their own neighborhood - they all much prefer the US.

Nonsense, the same information can be found in Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks. If that is the case, then American social networks are working secretly for foreign countries against the US. Is that what you believe?
That was a typo, I meant as Israeli territory.

That’s nonsense, international law is international law, there are no carve outs and loopholes for what US deems “legitimate security interests”. Russia used this exact same pretext to launch its war in Ukraine.

And the annexation far precedes the current regime by decades.
But people in Germany do work. You could hardly pick a worse example for the claim than the German economy. The EU in general is incredibly productive. Last I knew (awhile ago), the only difference between EU and US productivity was that people in the EU had longer vacations.

Also, the wealthiest, most productive and innovative parts of the US have the highest taxes.
Data science is perfect because an actual science doesn't have the word science in it namely physics, chemistry and biology.

Unless you’re really into the implementation details of individual postgres column types that seems of little interest.

Jsonb just means “parsed json” (lit. “json, binary”), meaning postgres parses the data to a binary representation upfront which allows for more efficient json operations.

However that comes at increased insert and storage costs. It also leads to postgres normalisation so values don’t round-trip textually (which can surprise).

Yes. But Denmark could have easily joined in all those years, they chose not to and that's their right. But for countries struggling to keep parity with the Euro today being in the Euro would have immediate advantage (Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, and to a lesser extent Hungary and Czechia). Denmark negotiated an exception and the fact that in 22 years it hasn't made any difference in terms of valuation means that they simply missed out on some international commerce.
"bury capitalism under a barrage of facts"

By writing novels. The "reality" of a novel adjusts the facts to fit the narrative. A factual narrative would not be a novel and would cite sources.
It's a very correct article. But here is a question: I run a software company and we're ready to pay for the FOSS we use in our product. Is there a convenient standard way to pay all the 50+ maintainers without having to spend years drafting individual contracts with each of them from a clean slate?
The scientist should thank them for their time, refrain from patronizing them, and continue going about their day.

Sneering would be something like saying, and I mean this with all due respect, "you didn't come out of the ground in that canyon, we all came from Africa" - misconstruing what they're saying, seeking to correct rather than understand, generally being rude and dismissive. If someone shares something with you, it's up to you to figure out how and whether to incorporate it into your epistemology; if you're having trouble with that, it might be tempting to say, "the problem is that your epistemology sucks," but a.) That's an indecent way to treat someone and b.) No one is going to learn anything that way and c.) The problem is actually that you gave up on trying to understand, not that there was no resolution to the conundrum, and not that their epistemology is "inferior" in some way.

Consider that when a native culture has an origin story involving a specific place, regardless of whether we believe that humanity evolved there, there is really no reason to doubt their culture emerged there and that that place has an important bearing in their history.

I offer 5 good "situation / behavior /outcome" (SBO, sometimes called STAR) questions, the key is there aren't objectively "correct" answers, you decide what behaviors you prefer (humility, risk management, bias for action, respect for chain of command, etc) and then select for answers that demonstrate them.

Interviewer tips: listen not just to the answer, but also how do they communicate, do they use deflective or passive language, ask them to elaborate a lot with lots of details (bullshitters are bad at this), let them do all the talking ("why? Tell me more" Or "and then what happened?" are all the additional prompts needed), take good notes

* tell me about a time you disagreed with someone senior to you. (After every prompt ask "How did you handle it" and "what were the results?")

* tell me about a time you failed

* tell me about a time you had too much to do and not enough time do it.

* tell me about a time you solved a problem in a way you were really proud of.

* tell me about a time you felt you were asked to do something that was outside your skillset or comfort zone.

Lots of alternative questions you could ask instead, but again the key is no right answers, and you'll get a lot more signal compared to most questions.
