> You can say the same of opium, heroin, morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl, and Naloxone. Many of which have had i ical trials done and all of which are abused and addictive.

Cocaine isn't a viable weight-loss drug because its downsides outweigh the benefits. The downsides of semaglutide and tirzepatide are nothing like that of cocaine, and thus the calculus works out better for them.

> You can say the same of opium, heroin, morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl, and Naloxone.

Setting aside the fact that including naloxone in that list is a bit bizarre - it counteracts the rest of the list, everyone should have some in their first aid kit - those medications have benefits that make them sometimes appropriate clinically. (Similarly, cocaine is used medically and in a very controlled fashion in rare cases, like persistent bad nosebleeds.)
The neoliberals didn't integrate human rights, pollution, climate change, national security, food security etc. into their framework and so well, uhh, yeah, it didn't work out so well did it?

I honestly don't think it's a huge surprise to most people - every one of us is interested in at least one of those externalized issues, and so we've pondered the problem.

We're going to need a new framework obviously.

Pragmatically, since we don't do things very well internationally, I suppose we'll see adjustments: supply chains for national security, collective government pushback on China after a lot of behind the scenes worries it'll now be public, energy realignment forced largely due to Putin, probably some kind of strategic engagement of 'Rest of Asia' by the USA, a tightening of NATO and integration of Japan and Korea and Australia into that extended framework, probably the UN will lead some initiatives on Human Rights but I am sad to say I don't foresee a lot of progress. The situation in E. China is morbid, but China can very effectively keep the noise levels low by allowing very few people there, coercing various media entities and reliably depending on our own complacency.

Unions Negotiation based on majoritarian priorities, so if your desires match the majority of your co-workers then you will be represented in the room

If they do not, your individual wants / needs will be the first on the chopping block in favor of wants / needs that match the majority of workers

>>Companies are not just going to offer these kinds of things one-off to those few "Captains of Negotiation"

Some things they will, some things they can't change by law (i.e the law requires all employees get the same ). Unions rarely move the needle much in my experience for the non-Negotiationable things, which are largely set by things way outside the employment Negotiation. Unions will often take credit for things but in reality it is just PR for the union it was going to happen with or with out the union.

>Why do we believe this?

Most commonly because of direct experience of this happening in real unions.

I have worked in and around manufacturing plants my entire life, I have seen lots of shit from both sides

>>besides, workers shouldn't have to individually negotiate all these things. Yuck!

Why not? I dont understand this mentality where by things should just be given to people. I am continually asking for raises, promotions, etc. I advance because I ask to advance and negotiate my advancement.

Expecting things to just happen for you is a terrible idea, employers are not your parents, they are not "providing" for you, you are trading your labor for money. lets not over complicate this relationship

I've been doing B2B IT for years, and I'm glad to hear that the tech part of the health industry takes this more seriously than the health part.

There's not a single doctor's office or hospital I'm aware of that is HIPAA compliant, and the vast majority of doctors ask us what a BAA is when we try to get one set up with them.
> Breaking Curve25519 would not necessarily break Curve448, like a thicker wall which can withstand certain attacks that a thinner wall cannot.

This sounds great to a non-cryptographer, but it's really not all that true. We've crossed a threshold where—to continue the metaphor—the wall is so thick that the only way it's likely to be breached either by going over/around it or by something that exploits a material weakness in a way where it doesn't matter in practice how thick the wall is.

While it's of course possible that someone finds a way to break Curve25519 in a way that leaves Curve448 standing, I suspect that many cryptographers believe it's far more likely that an API handling multiple curves will create opportunities for vulnerabilities that otherwise wouldn't exist. Particularly when one of those code paths is used extremely infrequently.
I agree with both of you :). Sending an opaque binary blob and reassembling it at the other side would have been ideal... but with some of the third-party systems we integrate with it is not possible
Fighting a deceitful propaganda machine with individual deceitful propaganda seems like fair game to me.

You and many others seem to take this system seriously, as if it is genuine and legitimate. A lot of other people disagree, and some will act accordingly (prompting more deceitful propaganda, and so forth and so on).

May we live in interesting times.

What does the state of the art look like here? Particularly when it comes to familiar tech like Postgres and Redis?

> Conversely, this will generally be a pain to work with ... (You can, of course, build something like a trigger to allow retrieving the keys within the database, but that would significantly undermine the value of this entire enterprise.)

Is this limitation inherent to the concept, or are there some creative ways to retain the benefits without having to lose the relational aspect of the DB?

You are brainwashed by the Military-Industrial-Congressional complex into thinking that the USA has some sort of moral imperative to be the world police, were the only duty of the government is to serve the people which it is currenly not doing and instead serving the interests of the elite and corporations.

I don't care about Ukraine/Tiwan/Vietnam, and the government should not either, it aint our problem. We can literally nuke Russia or China or DPRK if they try to invade or nuke us.

We should put troops on the border to defend it, but that would also deprive USA agribusiness of cheap labor [illegals] or noncitizens whatever the Biden speach police wants you to call them these days.

What we need to care about is income inequality, healthcare, and that most people are either overweight or obese. This is the real national security threat that noone can talk about.

Making systemic interventions into healthcare to prevent chronic illnes from overweight + obesity would give a ROI that is....insane. But we don't want to do that and instead give money to arms manufacturers to then give them to Ukraine, which is stupid.

We literally have people who are overdosing from drugs in the street, and the gov does not care about them. Instead it ostensibly cares about people on the other side of the world to boost some geopolitical agenda.

What we need to do is get rid of income taxes and git rid of the military.

"It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world": it was George Washington's Farewell Address to us. The inaugural pledge of Thomas Jefferson was no less clear: "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations-entangling alliances with none."
Let them eat cake (I mean less calories)
"Just in time" is a great expression. It resonates with me because there is an existing body of knowledge around doing things just in time to reduce waste, and I think that's a lot of the motivation for learning things just in time:

1. You don't invest in learning something you won't use, and;

2. Learning something you will eventually use, but not in the near future, has an opportunity cost: What could you be doing with that time and attention that will produce value now?

I will make a separate comment describing what I think the drawbacks are, but I wanted to focus on my support for your preferred nomenclature.
Yep, and angry populism is the completely predictable result.
Citing from a well-defined corpus and making citations up look like very different things at a fundamental level.
Currently x86_64 to aarch64.

It's a bootstrapping problem. It takes a lot of infra to run the first build host. We can transition to aarch64 for build hosts if we see the need later.

Having cross-compilation makes things much easier from get-go.
You imply as if some stupid Windows 10 pre-installed on this laptop would perform some complex "learning" activity on the battery. Why a Li-ion battery sensor needs "to learn" how to measure the battery output, if its main function is just to register the already existing battery output?

If I have constant access to AC power, should I deplete the battery just for the sake of this odd battery saving recommendation?
Woah, such a coincidence, I've been trying yabai[1] on my macOS mini for the past few days.

I wonder how they compare?

Installing yabai involves some fishy tinkering with system integrity protection and giving screen recording permission for some functionalities, which doesn't bother me while at my personal PC but is kinda troublesome for a work machine.

Also, does it include some sort of workspace style virtual monitors? Like i3 does for linux.

In this case I would love if it allowed me to load custom workspaces on boot, which is such a pain to get working on i3[2]. (I'm not sure if yabai handles workspaces).

There is a nice writeup about the exploit which includes more information about the indicators of compromise (IOCs) on the (drweb) site:

https://vms.drweb.com/virus/?i=25604695

For example, the binary file has a SHA1 of 215a4470063080696630fb6015378938e8c16a15. It reaches out to a C2 server with the IP address 109[.]234.38[.]69. It injects a script called "lone.js" which contacts another server. Etc.

Someone has also submitted it to Virustotal very recently, and there is additional information available to explore. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/7ab779b39a7ff2a8e4e4957e...

Yara is among the tools which can be used to search a system for these IOCs provided a set of rules written in the appropriate syntax.
Uhh, Oracle is the obvious counter example. They've had co-CEOs and their stock is on fire right now.
In all those examples cooperation was the deterrent that made them think multiple times before going to war.

And lack of it would have meant easier and multiple wars.

deterrent are a vital part of peace. And peace is like a stack of cards built on multiple deterrents.

you can see examples of lack of deterrent during history when wars where happening on the desire of a king and you can also see the beginning of deterrent working when kinds and queens married their children between them to keep peace going as long as possible.
I'm not a PHP expert, so I don't know the landscape there fully. I do know our customer complaints and can say people care about cold start times in the PHP space and others.

So while it may be an edge case for you, it's not for others. It also doesn't discredit any of the other testing that doesn't focus on cold starts.

> Python was conveniently there when teaching was looking to switch away from Java. Each wave of students exiting their institutions with a Python background made Python more popular in the field

This, plus what other commentors have noted regarding Pythons early developments in academia, have had multiplying effects on adoption.

The alternatives were C, C++, some "academic" language like Lisp (which I wish had really broken into commerce more), Prolog etc., and eventually Java. Python was at such a higher level that it definitely made more sense as a first language for many people... especially since it was capable enough to be more than just a first language.

No sweat. I definitely don't want to downplay the reality of your frustrations with your job. It's just that the many facets of the topic of work are very meaningful to me and I have a lot of strong convictions about it. How to enjoy work or find meaning in it is a whole other conversation but I'm truly sorry your job sucks.
This is being done to reduce licensing costs? I figure that just having a lot of shows sitting around on a streaming service is relatively cheap right?
For my Gnomies, the Run-or-raise extension [0] is stellar. It does exactly what it says: you bind a key combo to a launcher command, and optionally define a windowname or wm_class query to check for the existence of the program before it's launched. If it's running it's raised, if it's not then it's run. It has options for the window behaviour after toggling, optionally minimising the programs etc.

I can't rate it highly enough. It helped me finally step away from my decade-long i3wm-adhd addition, where everything else failed.

Implicitly, on-demand is also rapid. I can look up how to use a library in minutes and hours. Most people don't have jobs where they can allocate weeks or months to learning theory that they didn't need before. But such situations do exist: employers send staff on courses, and people sign up for part time degrees.

Amen.

> > violate medical consent rights which prisoners generally retain.

> Do they?

Generally, yes, but there are some exceptions, and it is an area that is complicated in the details because it involves multiple federal Constitutional rights and statutes interacting with state laws.

https://www.prisonlegalnews.org/news/2019/nov/4/beyond-estel...

> I complained to my state board when medical personnel performed "care" on me without my consent while I was detained (not arrested, not in prison/jail, and at the time no warrant/court order -- just 'detained' and dragged to hospital on a hunch by an officer that there might be drugs hidden up my ass). I was told by my state board the nurse/doctor can do what they want without my consent as they are basically acting as a police officer, and that my (extremely thorough, well documented, 100+ page) claim was denied -- not only that it was denied in triage and not even assigned to a detailed investigation.

Well, yes, this sounds like a cavity search, where the legal issue isn’t medical consent but potentially unreasonable (and thus unlawful) search under the 4th Amendment as incorporated against the states by the 14th Amendment.

The state medical board is the wrong forum for that complaint.

(Note that even for the actual medical consent issues in the above cited source, federal courts have been the forums; state medical boards are more convenient—because when they decide to get involved, they bear the cost of investigation—but are really not generally an effective method of holding state and local law enforcement and correctional authorities, and medical practitioners employed or directed by them, to task.)
I like what you've done. Here's a snippet from my i3 that I use atleast 5 times a day:

#generate password "pwgen -sy 32" and send to clipboard (uses s to generate more symbols) Also, the NEWLINE is stripped from the end. [tr -d '\n']

bindsym $mod+F12 exec "pwgen -sy 32 1 | tr -d '\n' | xclip"
Love the story! Breath of fresh air and a similar trajectory I would like to take for my own startup.

The slow burn is real and making meaningful connections to customers is important for consistent revenue in the long term.
The key claim of this post is buried in the middle:

> preliminary learning is quite bad for learning tools but is the only way of learning concepts.

This claim is not justified. Why must concepts be learned just-in-case (preliminary) rather than just-in-time (on demand)?

I can imagine you might struggle to get a good map of some territory, or a deep explanation of why something is true, without a teacher and/or setting aside some time. But what does this have to do with just-in-case versus just-in-time?

The fact that people would pay for credit monitoring is strange to me.

Credit Karma is free, and has been very good. When I applied to finance a car online, within 15 seconds of me pressing "Submit" on the web page, I had an e-mail from Credit Karma that someone did a hard pull of my credit report.

Does the identity theft service you got do anything more than that that you would actually use?
No, it objectively remains an edge case, no matter whether it is for me or you or the person you’re replying to or whatever. Your customers doing inefficient things does not change the fundamentals of the situation. And the other testing that didn’t focus on cold starts looked like basically a non-result looking at the graphs, so I didn’t bother talking about it. I can, though, with the understanding that it will strengthen my point.
Fair enough, though I would argue it’s impossible to have a healthy meaningful debate on “the internet” (by which I mean reddit or any social media)
I'm not so sure about the arguments here. Theoretical knowledge is more advantageous if things are soundly designed. If stuff is a cobbled together mess, as many modern tools are, it may actually block flow or lead to false assumptions.

Don't get me wrong, it's a valid pursuit, but I'm not convinced by the arguments presented.

Instead you can say it opens the door to more serious work such as say language design, operating system teams, things like that. It rarefies your skillset especially if you don't suck at it. You aren't likely to get an important position at say, nvidia, by going through bootcamps. The crack of that door is open much wider for those with a Stanford PhD in hand. I'm sure there's exceptions, but I'd imagine they're quite rare.

I think it's unlikely, however, to make you necessarily more proficient in the latest churn of frameworks to implement the latest churn of websites.
I'm amazed by how divisive it is. I've also been using it to significantly increase my productivity, be that documenting things or having it mutate code via natural language or various other tasks. I feel that if you keep in mind that hallucination is something that can happen, then you can somewhat mitigate that by prompting it in certain ways. E.g. asking for unit tests to verify generated functions, among other things.

I find this tool so useful, that I scratch my head when I read about how dismissive some people are of it.
I had a 2021 situation where a consultant had

Currently, we are moving forward with Odoo, which has its own quirks but has better functionality than Salesforce IMO. No transition is fun, but an ETL from SF to Odoo is very doable (odooable), and the feature sets are pretty equivalent.
