I understand the concerns that they are bringing up, but I feel like saying just download another app completely misses the point of my SMS is so popular.

It is just... there. It does what I need it to do without standing in my way of communicating. It is also a standard that is not at the whim of a specific company shutting down a major service (that I am aware of) to continue communicating.

I struggled for a while after my mom got an iPhone for her to understand the App Store. I feel like she may not fully be there but is using an iPad now solely instead of a computer so its close...ish.

Maybe this is because I do use an iPhone and most people I communicate with are using iMessage that I just don't see the other issues mentioned here. But because I use iMessage, if for some reason apple were to shut down that service... I would just revert back to using SMS and communication will mostly just continue.

Finally... If I want to start talking to a new friend I meet at the bar. I just give them my number, no conversation about which app they use or OS ever needs to happen.

Edit: I know countries outside of the US are less dependent on SMS/iMessage. But it just feels like jumping through extra hoops for something that is built in.
Sure, 50/50 is probably not where a lot of professions should be. But it's pretty unrealistic to assume the percentage we are at is exactly where it should be. Especially considering how many women in professions like programming have so many stories about how difficult it is to get in and stay in the field.

Pretty sure this is not legal in some European countries. In Switzerland, it is the employer's obligation to ensure the employees gets at least one continuous 2 week vacation with no interruptions.

What a scam.

If any US based Microsofties are looking for a better life, Switzerland has record low unemployment and needs foreign workers. Come on in, the fondue's fine!
I've mostly used them on new circuits, but have put them on a few of my older circuits too. For my small sample size, I've yet to have one nuisance trip.
People would stop texting if there were a common protocol for messaging not on SMS.

I'm sure they exist, but until WhatsApp can communicate with WeChat etc, texting is unlikely to go away. This is one of the few areas where government mandated bridges may be required to allow for interoperability.
Why do you think it’ll be slower? The article says the opposite

They don’t “struggle” with it at all. You presented two approaches that work fine (a balance row or serialized transactions). It can also be done with monotonic “account transaction” counters with unique constraints to prevent the concurrent inserts of withdrawals.

It’s trivially solvable and it never results in complete DB corruption by getting the ordering wrong.
Macro systems comparison
I would like to make a comparison of macro systems of programming languages.

In general, I know that S-expression based Lisp ones are the most powerful, also thanks to Lisp's homoiconic nature.

But in other languages that support good macro system (some of them listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macro_(computer_science)#Syntactic_macros) are they equivalent or some are more powerful than others?

Does the power of the macro system depend on some feature of the language, such as the syntactic structure (like homoiconicity in the case of Lisp) or maybe on the type system?

Thanks for the downvote. That doesn't mean that doctors shouldn't tell their patients to lose some freaking weight if they're obese. Fat sympathy is a cultural problem. But also all the seed oils, sugars, and fakeness in our foods is another problem.

email still rules! In every way described in the article.
The fact that socially, one is "laughable" is really a laugh at the tech illiterate.

A good email client and server, offering instantaneous message transfer and notification is infinitely more secure and functional than any "messaging" "app". A tech savvy person can easily run their own mail server, or migrate their history from one vendor to another. Try that with your signal history...

Of course, it's just not socially acceptable to admit the boomers were right on this one...
I don't necessarily agree about what the fundamental message of either film is.

That said, Ferris is using middle class objects (and using tricks to hijack upper-class objects) to have a good time.

Fight Club Tyler is rejecting middle and upper-class objects as fundamentally opposed to some poorly specified and wholly imagined idyllic life.

If Bob had joined Ferris for a Cubs game and brought a souvenir ball back to the house, he would have been kicked out of the cult.
Hm, I can't find it on GOG. Did you mean for Linux? The Itch site says Linux is available, so I'll get it there or on your website.

I agree. It also makes it harder to compare companies because it moves an explicit benefit “X days PTO per year” to a vague one “well, it’s whatever days your manager feels like approving”.

As a manager I’d also hate this - it’s another thing that I would have to keep track of and weigh. I don’t want to have to discuss with people about how much PTO is okay! That’s something somebody else should decide!

If a company really wants to give people flexibility they would give X days of paid vacation plus as much unpaid as your manager will approve. Best of both worlds IMO.

Addendum: The company I work for has a “once in a lifetime opportunity” policy where if you want to do something special, like climb Everest or take a cruise around the world or whatever, they’ll work with you to figure out how to make leave work for it. It’s not actually once in a lifetime either, the policy says once every five years or so. I like that idea a lot, even if I’ve never used it.
From my interactions with the Zig dev team, I don't think that's an accurate assessment. They spend a long time thinking and talking about the tradeoffs of doing things the way they are doing them vs more traditional routes and, in my opinion, they usually make a solid well reasoned decision based on Zig core principles.

I support the Even Fairer Tax, and anyone who doesn't is a monster. It's right there in the name!

Putting aside my political views is impossible to do on a question of how a polity should finance itself. This submission is submarine-style PR for a conservative initiative that aims to 'promote freedom, fairness, and economic opportunity by repealing the income tax and other taxes, abolishing the Internal Revenue Service, and enacting a national sales tax to be administered primarily by the States.'

If you want to argue that this system would be superior because Reasons then I would be interested in hearing your argument (although I probably won't agree with it), but you didn't even bother to articulate what you find interesting about it. Perhaps delete this and try again with more substance.
Collecting employee EEO data is pretty standard, practically universal, esp. since there are things like veteran status or disabilities that have very real implications. You basically just add a checkbox. Pretty much SOP for any org over a certain size.
Chisel is compiled to Verilog so it has excellent interoperability. You can use Chisel in an existing Verilog project or use existing Verilog modules in a Chisel project. Therefore it is already supported by practically all vendors and simulators.

I've used Chisel to interface with proprietary Lattice DSPs and RAM modules, and I'm sure you could do the same with other vendors as well. All you have to do is define the IOs and parameters of the module. In Chisel this is called a "Blackbox". Example: https://github.com/fayalalebrun/6502-exp/blob/master/src/mai...

I used my 3D printer and CNC to assist in making these: https://www.longtailwoodcraft.com/gallery.html

There's no 3D components in the cutting boards or wall art itself. I make jigs and spacers and all sorts of things to assist in assembly and manufacture.

An FDM 3D printer is useful for much more than making glorified paperweights. There's immense value in being able to make any jig you can think of, very precisely, and be able to reproduce it in an hour if you need another.
Do Americans quote large appliance current at 220V or 110V equivalent?

From the EV it seems the former, but in that case I'm horrified at how power-hungry your appliances are.

A typical new oven sold in Europe is 3.6kW, 16A @ 230V.

A new tumble drier is 600W, so about 2.5A at 230V.

There's such a range of hot tub and AC sizes I can't compare these.
Yes it’s a problem, but induction cooktops are true feats of engineering. Have they tried just mandating these companies make a gas stove that doesn’t poison the users? Whatever that means.. better fans, tighter tolerances, it doesn’t sound intractable.

Ultimately, I think it’s a hard sell that we as a race should no longer cook over an open flame. But of course, the other target from the climate industry is meat itself so I guess the idea is that when it’s all plant paste who cares how it gets cooked?
I asked you the current regulation density and what your desired adjustment would be.

I assume you knew since you were advocating loosening the restriction. What's the restriction?

How much more dense should it be in your suggestion?

Until it's decided, no one can proceed with your idea right?
Firstly, you don't specify what the Fair Tax is

> The Fair Tax would repeal the current tax code and replace it with a single national consumption tax that is pro-growth and allows Americans to keep every cent of their hard-earned money.

Secondly, what do you think "political views" are? Politics is how we mediate social interactions. Our political views are implicitly linked with how we think society should be governed and how that government should be funded. For many people, their view on taxation is their primary political view.

Leaving aside the loaded, imprecisely specified question - I don't support regressive taxes. Regressive taxes mean more of the tax burden lies on the people who can afford it least. An income tax that scales with income leaves everyone with sufficient money to spend. People with higher incomes contribute more in absolute terms, but the same in % terms. Personally I don't mind paying 30% in taxes regardless of what I earn.

Whereas a consumption tax is bananas. It benefits me, who saves a large chunk of my income. I would keep even more. But a person living pay check to pay check, that person spends almost all their money despite being taxed very little. For that person, their income wouldn't rise much, but the prices of everything they want to buy would rise.

And second order effects are pretty bad. Consumption taxes reduce consumption. That's bad for growth, no matter how you look at it.

The people who want this clearly learned economics from a work of fiction.

I guess you don't know if it's faulty until you try to use it. Manufacturing defects are a thing, but kind of a once every 30 years type thing, so maybe not a big deal to worry about. The reason you install circuit breakers and AFCIs is to avoid a fire in these cases; rare, but worthwhile to avoid.
Inflation, tightened consumer spending, and geopolitical uncertainty have led to a decline in the value of high-growth companies that have remained unprofitable. To combat this, some companies have cut back on side projects and laid off employees. Factors such as geography, sector, and size will likely determine which companies are better able to weather the downturn. Consumer-facing tech companies have seen a decline in sales, while business software companies like Adobe and Salesforce are expected to fare better. Additionally, larger firms, with more cash on hand, are expected to be more resilient during the downturn. The shake-up of the tech industry may help larger firms grow even bigger in 2023.

The article quotes him as saying that when he started taking it, he didn't get colds any longer. Then they attempt to refute that by claiming that there's no evidence that Vitamin C shortens the duration of colds. What does that have to do with what Pauling claimed? Typical clickbait bullshit unfortunately.
It depends on company/team culture. I've used a similar policy to take 40-50 days off per year and got great feedback on my leadership and contributions in the past. People on my team took similar amounts. Everybody was happy with the policy, except people who never took vacation and had months of PTO accured.

> Precision makes no sense for a pan and is something a person who doesn't actually cook would care about. Your pans change temperature when cold food is put into them. Anyone who cooks knows that you are changing the temperature on your cooking surface constantly in many applications and it's based on the visual and audio queues your food give you.

I know exactly what to expect when I set my induction stove to 8 (out of 10) and let my daily-use pan heat for 1 minute. That's the setting at which I can temper oil with dry spices without burning them.

This isn't a function of the induction element, but rather the digital controls. Naturally I adjust the setting once the cold food goes in the pan, but having a calibrated starting point for my cooking flow is pretty useful, and I cook for my family daily.

> The problem with induction is the thing it's good at (heating water quickly) isn't a useful feature.

An induction stove can heat anything quickly, not just water. And importantly it can rapidly change temperature, unlike a resistance electric stove.

> Also, copper and aluminium cookware don't work on them and they are superior materials for cooking with in many instances.

You can just use one of these:

https://www.inductioncooked.com/how-to-use-non-induction-coo...

However, I've never seen a recipe that called for a copper or aluminum pan specifically. The benefit of copper is supposed to be precision temperature control, but as you said, precise temperatures don't matter for day to day cooking.

Maybe you need to turn this into an article because over the last decade of working with Django, we've learnt the same lessons, sometimes the hard way. Learning to never import real models into data migrations was a big one.

I recently wanted to move a model between apps and ended up going the route of create new table, copy all rows over, delete old table. It was annoying, but the only way to make it work with regular migrations.

We ended up writing our own script[1] to squash migrations, and I'd love to know if there's a better way. We needed something that works for clean installs or existing installs that already have the current migrations installed - so it generates empty migrations which get applied on existing installs, and then they get replaced with real initial migrations on clean installs starting from a new release.

While I agree with most of the rest of what you said, and I generally don't like these policies:

> won't get paid out for remaining balances when they quit

You can just change the company handbook to say that unused PTO is not paid out, I don't think any state (fact-check me) requires you to pay out unused PTO (you're required to follow a policy fairly, so you must pay it out if the handbook says you pay it out)
Microservices are analogous to classes from OOP: an attempt at modularization by bundling function, internal state and side-effects together. So it suffers from the same challenges. It’s worse in fact, as the message passing now involves unreliable I/O, and the internal state is also shared global state.

The main reason it exists is because of the availability of cheap commodity hardware for servers (and later cloud), which breaks the model of programming for vertical scaling afforded by the mainframe model. It’s out of necessity to scale cheaply that this architecture is followed - the rationalizations that this is a superior way for teams to work together or that it improves reliability can be argued.
Why should they be allowed to profiteer off of life-saving vaccines in the middle of a pandemic? If any other business price gouged essential supplies to the degree these pharmaceutical companies are doing, they would likely end up in prison.

If there is a credible risk of vaccines not being developed, as you say, perhaps it's time to think about either: a) nationalizing the key players in pharmaceutical industry, or b) introducing laws (if none already exist) that allow governments to compel these companies to allocate resources to work on specific projects.

Vaccines are not a luxury item sold on a free market and we shouldn't have to rely on profit-seeking companies to develop and appropriately distribute them in the most beneficial way, it's simply incompatible with what's best for humanity during a pandemic. We've seen this play out, US & EU countries created massive stockpiles of vaccines because they had dozens of billions of taxpayer money to pay for extortionate prices while poorer countries still had 1% vaccination rates.

This has lead to hundreds of millions (!) of doses of Covid vaccines expiring and being wasted. The side effect of this is increased likelihood of mutations that has the potential to harm everyone.
You could leave off everything after “overregulated” and still be correct.
I work at msft and have never had pressure to not take time off. In fact I have been reminded by my manager to do it because its tracked and you lose it at some point in time. Without the tracking people that generally don't take time will take less and people that take all there time will take more.
Other than more convenient UX, with Bitwarden or any other password manager you can just generate an equivalently entropic "secret key" that you store in a file and that you manually concatenate with the password when unlocking your vault. The threat model that 1Password describes for its secret key is essentially the same as what you'd get handrolling it: https://1passwordstatic.com/files/security/1password-white-p... (it should be assumed that an attacker who gains read access to the user’s disk will acquire the Secret Key)

KeepassXC and derivatives also support Yubikey's proprietary hmac-challenge, wich generates the functional equivalent of the secret key off-OS, and FIDO2 devices with the hmac-secret extension provide that same functionally but with SHA256 instead of SHA1 for the HMAC. I don't know any mainstream password managers that support it yet.
