The issue is that middle managers are being proven as ineffective and useless. The guy who wanders around the office synergizing everyone now has a spotlight on them, because its been proven over the last few years that people can be efficient and productive without Lundberg stopping by and asking for a progress report. The only part of the industry that has now been proven unnecessary are the ones clawing and fighting to get everyone back into the office.
It is not a given that, if Putin is ousted, his replacement will stop the war. While there are factions that are not keen on the war (many of the oligarchs that have interest in trading with the west) , there are some others (the warlords) that are even more hawkish than Putin, and seeing as he is very careful to please them, they have a lot of power.
I think with pilots would amount to, in practice, a declaration of war from Sweden to Russia. So that's not going to happen. And since Sweden applied for NATO membership, it's not even a theoretical possibility at this point I'd say.

But even without pilots, and crewed by Ukrainian pilots lacking training on the system, I think the ability to lob 100 km range missiles over the horizen, has to be worth something.
Whew. Marvel Phase 5 averted.

It was wake up call around 2015 when Comic-con started having banners that say "celebrating the popular arts". In 2006 and earlier, this sign used to say something along the lines of "celebrating counter culture."
Pretty sweet, good job outta you!

One thing, I'd love to be able to filter by which knives are legal in my city (NYC). An approximation that might be easier than adding jurisdiction white/black lists/flags to the data might be specific custom filters.

For instance, in NYC I think the law is against locking blades and blades over a certain blade length. So a quick apply of those filter parameters would do a decent job of removing the items that would be illegal to buy.
Not really. Youth tend to gravitate toward counter-culture naturally as a form of rebellion against their parents growing up. Having kids going toward traditional values is exactly what this society needs to begin the healing process.
Good point, nor should they.

Sounds like gatekeeping to me. I know LGBT culture generally used to be edgy and underground. But widespread mainstream acceptance means that’s not really true anymore.

Thousands of sad frogs, wojaks and other memes. The fringe fashwave music videos. Greentext stories with their weird rules as whole new literary genre. It's obvious there are real artists spending days and hours making them, but posting any of these things on mainstream cultural outlets gets you banned. How this is any different from independent filmmaker being shunned out of cinemas for his extreme take on coprophilia in the 80'?

Metadata curation is the only thing I've had trouble with in more than a year of Jellyfin usage: seems like the only way to edit certain fields, like song ordering, is through a giant cloud of dialog boxes.
Big cities are dependent on agriculture and raw materials from rural regions for their survival. The small town can exist without the big city, the reversal is not true.

As always through history, politicians and bankers plunder the country with taxes and interest. This wealth is then distributed by them, from the big cities, but that doesn't mean that the wealth originated there.
There have always been meaningful distinctions and divisions in society that radically shape how specific groups and individuals relate to and participate in it.

Maybe that's today's true counter culture; anti-consumerism and switching offline. Thousands of people do it daily - delete their Social Media accounts, stop sharing everything online, stop watching endless video streams, stop playing meaningless games, and just escape the marketers trying to make a quick buck from their identity. You're not worth targeting if they can't sell you anything. It's the first "silent" counter culture.

It's not that it doesn't exist. There is no "dark corner of the room" dynamic like you had between punk and the nuclear family; more like, it's a different room altogether, and the other cultures don't get to see what's in that room. It's a society where the culture and the counter-culture don't share the "town square" together like they used to as much.

Alternatively, like you mention, it's existing in a different digital sphere to the mainstream. This can be intentional; using alternative forums like Mastodon instead of Twitter, Discord instead of Facebook, or whatever alternative it might be. IRC chats and email threads are still going to this day. It could also be unintentional; two people can be using YouTube but have completely and utterly different feeds and comments that they interact with due to an algorithm.

These alternate realities never really existed to the degree they do today. Previous cultures had the ruling and working classes, or ruling, working, and slave if you go back far enough. Stricter class boundaries, but within those classes things were more homogenous culturally. Less people, that meet in the same forum, pub, feast hall, or religious center. Now, the lines between classes are blurred and the classes themselves less homogenous. More people, more meeting places. More things to build an identity and culture around. That dilutes the predominant counter-culture enough for people to ask whether it exists at all.

Its hard to focus on the style of that summary you gave when that "summary" doesn't capture what the slatestarcodex article actually says. That summary is vaguely upsetting in how confidently wrong it is.

The actual "I can tolerate anything except the outgroup" article is a ponderous critique of our human tribal tendancy to find an outgroup and hate them. The article finally comes full circle when the author notices the whole essay itself could be seen (ironically) as an attack on another outgroup.

The article is intentionally not making a clear point. The experience I had reading was to come away ponderous, thoughtful and self reflective. I'm not convinced that a simple summary or simplification would be able to give a reader the same experience. (But at least summarizing the article correctly wouldn't hurt.)

Simple language has its place. But its just a style, like flat design or modernism. Its certainly no panacea.

I can't remember her name but there was an economist who IIRC was Australian and made a critique of classical Keynesian economics based on an accounting model that you need a debit column to be able to balance out loss of raw materials, environmental degradation etc.

For example if an oil tanker sinks you should be able to calculate the loss of value the environmental damage represents as well as the additional value that replacing that ship represents.

Can't remember much beyond that though.

I think, the obvious thing to do in such a situation if you're fairly confident,( I know you said you weren't) is to engage another underemployed coder and then share the profits. I see that you have put your contact information on your profile, hopefully someone will contact you.

I wonder how much value there would be in having some level of dissimilar redundancy in (soon to be) NATO air forces. All NATO countries having fleets of the F35 makes us vulnerable to any kind of weakness or bug that adversaries are able to exploit.

Well, people think that KDE is bloated. This is not true. Yes it consumes resources, but the bigger consumer is baloo, which is the file name and context indexer of KDE, which can be turned off with a click. So, In short why I do I use KDE? Let's take a look:

If I need to find something inside a file? There's Baloo, and it's available via KRunner ır Dolphin.

KRunner is also a great comand palette, window changer, and plethora of other tools combined. I generally open Krunner and open applications and do many things over it, no need to touch to mouse.

People rave about dual pane file managers, rightly so. Dolphin is both a single pane and dual pane file manager, rolled in one.

I connect to other services (FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, and whatnot), ah no tools. Dolphin has adapters for all of them. I can directly SFTP into a machine via fish:// for example.

I'm also a big music listener, so I rip some CDs from time to time? Do I need a tool? No. Open Dolphin, navigate to CD. There are folders (MP3, FLAC, OGG, etc.) drag your favorite format to your home folder. It's encoded on the fly. Metadata? It's retrieved when you insert your CD from MusicMatch service and reflected automatically. Neat. No?

More interconnectedness: Add your e-mail accounts and calendars to Akonadi. They are fetched and processed even if your mail client is not running. That's what multitasking is, if you ask me.

People think KDE's eye candy, but it has many quality of life things: Present windows with search, desktop grid with reorganization, dim inactive windows to prevent focus loss and eye fatigue. Just to name a few.

People terminal-hop, but Konsole is one of the best and fastest terminal emulators alongside GNOME's. New guys rave about speed, but this speed optimization thing is done by big boys in 2003-2004. GPU acceleration is also the same story.

KDE is not slow. If you disable windows appearance and destruction animations, things happen before you lift your finger from the button you're pressing. Animations take a bit of time, so things look slow.

KDE guys love GTK as they love Qt. Every KDE release comes with counterpart GTK renderers, so all applications look the same.

So, TWMs, i3/sway, and others are very nice things. They solve a lot of people's problems, and I support these people wholeheartedly, but KDE is an integrated solution which works well across the board. Give it a shot someday, in a VM.

Oh, you want to be pleasantly surprised? Try E17 (Enlightenment 17). That thing is really nice.
A counterculture requires privacy, and we're increasingly becoming a society of constant surveillance and permanent records shared between authorities, a society that is very suspicious when people speak to each other without an intermediary escalating anything interesting being said to their manager.

I wonder if this, while being a really good idea, is next to impossible without some serious liability concerns. A lot of the time the law does not enumerate specific models of weapon, and there end up being grey areas where a weapon could possibly be characterized as having a banned trait.

Though it may work as you’ve described it: don’t have searches for “is legal in X?” But rather provide search for those criteria. Plus a big legal disclaimer that it could be wrong.
Ukraine is very far from being overrun, almost entirely operates from regular airfields and not roads or other unexpected locations.

Are they operating to great effect? The HARMs are nice, but surface-launched anti-radiation missiles would be both far cheaper and more resilient than Gripens.

Presumably in a "partisan warfare" scenario, you wouldn't be worrying about stuff like Shahed drones destroying your infrastructure either.

> F35 is more expensive and complicated to operate

It does provide advantages for that money, and certainly has a brighter future than the Gripen E which nobody will buy.
> If you divorce she can take half your wealth, and has the power to prevent you from seeing your children (until they turn 18 and decide to go look for you themselves, if you manage to stay alive til then).

This isn't mentioned enough in relation to the marriage/birth-rate subject. Men in developed countries (and it is typically developed countries with very pro-woman divorce laws/courts) are completely disincentivized to start families.
The EU has a language problem though. If there's a problem affecting Lithuania there's very little that voting can do to solve it. Lithuanians don't have an impact on the politicians voted in from other countries, because the politics don't overlap due to language. Lithuanian voters would have to convince German politicians, that campaign in the German language to German people, about Lithuania's issue. How likely do you think that is going to work?
Similarly I suspect any Turkish leadship would place a high value on it's relationship with Russia.

Turkey feels safe already with respect to Russia. But increasingly slighted by Western attitudes.

Is your question: Why do the number of open NodeJS positions not correlate to the crap you hear about NodeJS applications?

I don’t know, but I assume there’s also a pay/skills gap that exists there, as a lot of those NodeJS jobs are going to be about keeping a CMS alive, whereas the rest of the frameworks you mention are old-school application frameworks.

Not saying NodeJS cannot be used to build more complicated things, it certainly can, but there’s also a large number of people only using NodeJS to build asset packs for static websites.

I started doing this in 2015. I had to quit my job and go back to consulting.

I found that somewhere around 12-20 hours per week of knowledge work was peak efficiency (output versus effort).

Unfortunately, from 2020 to now, I have had to work closer to full time and I'm less fit, less efficient, suffering from poorer sleep.

I am hoping to get back to ~15 hours a week by mid-year this year.

F-22 isn't even competitive in the pure mission statement since its air-to-ground capabilities are very limited - it was built for pure air superiority and its very poor as a multirole fighter.

That's a big factor for countries that can't afford BOTH air superiority and ground support craft.

F-35 is just... a pretty good airplane for a pretty good price.
I am so jealous of your ISP situation! I’ve got symmetric gigabit from Verizon FiOS, which is great for what it is, but there is zero roadmap to anything faster in the US.

You can look at commercial offerings, but they charge way more for much less speed on a dedicated line. The cable folks are bragging that they hit 10Gbit in the lab, but no indication of when they will actually sell that. 25G is a fantasy.

The thing that really shocked me was watching an episode of South Park.

The boys all got into airsoft, and really enjoyed it (in contrast to a bunch of older jaded teens that used drugs and were largely miserable.)

The dads weren't sure about letting their boys play, but when they saw the teens picking on their kids, went and bought a bunch of tactical gear and airsoft guns and went on the field with their kids.

Oh, and the kid that didn't have a dad? They got an uncle to stand in for him.

This is the show that my parents warned me about as a kid for how sacrilegious and profane they were. It came out like it was directed by Jordan Peterson. I mentioned this to a friend, and he responded... "Well, that show has always been counter culture."
So "incel" is often interpreted a couple of different ways, you could be referring to either:

- The literal definition - "involuntary celebate" - that he didn't have any sexual partners despite wanting to. There was a fairly widely reported story of him and a few of the FTX guys being part of a polycule. No real way for us to prove anything around this, so take from that what you will. This leaves us with...

- The vibe of an incel - a socially awkward, introverted, depressed NEET. He doesn't really fit this either, he seemed comfortable talking, wasn't obviously troubled (a little twitchy, but he did a lot of "self-medication" so ...), he had a real job @ Jane Street for a few years before FTX.

I don't really think "incel" or even "almost incel" is the right term for him.

You're totally missing the point.

It's about avoiding a go pound sand stance no matter the US leadership.

If you're in NATO, or have applied you're relatively cozy. What if you don't want to do those things?
If your culture is well-known enough and seen as desirable enough that you start having to no-true-scotsman to differentiate between the corporate poseurs and the true believers, it's a pretty strong sign that you're not a counterculture anymore. People don't try to fake having low cultural status.

183_333 per head is a lot in Romania, but pretty much in line public administration spending in Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany and France where the bulk of the staff works.

This is not just salaries, but cost, including building, services schools, pensions and god knows what.

P.S. As I noted elsewhere, if you want to voice your concern about eurocrats' pay, start with Ombudsman office. They spend much more per head.
One idea I've not seen examined.

Since most of the cost is in the software, engine and systems, why make the airframe commonality such a big point? There could be an F-35D that would be a totally new airframe but would use everything else from the other models. There will be lots of F-35:s manufactured, maintained and upgraded over the lifespan so it would make sense to "tap into" that ecosystem. Composite manufacturing has been advancing a lot. If the structure can be uncoupled from the rest, then it would allow for better performance. The current shape of the F-35 variants is limiting their supersonic performance. One could also optimize the airframe for cost or speed of manufacture.

It might be deemed now that the airframe performance is adequate. This might change in the future as adversaries improve.
Given the accessibility to like minded groups of people made possible by the Internet I’d say we’re all the counter culture. Which I suppose implies no counter culture.
