You're over-reacting and trying to use your emotion as a bludgeon, in order to stand in for absent logic.

You're also falling into a semantic illusion that everything currently or formerly classified as autism is actually all on the same spectrum. In reality "the spectrum" is a modern theory and literally no other range for any disorder stretches nearly as far. Which is a red flag. See the fact that many people that would have been formerly diagnosed as Asperger's will now not be diagnosed with autism at all, but instead with a social skills disorder.

The existence of Asperger's, or the inclusion or not of formerly Asperger's patients into the general Autism spectrum category does not threaten the identities of other people with Autism.

Neither professionals nor patients should seek to use other people with impairments as their political pawn or psychological security blanket. It is morally wrong to demand the direction of their classification because you or they believe that it helps you. Get a life.
I agree; Python is a great choice especially if whatever you're building is heavy in math and/or ML. The ecosystem is just better so it makes sense then to build your backend stack with Python.
I remember reading about PropelAuth somewhere and thinking that Rust might slow down development -- something I wanted to be proven wrong about since I've been learning rust off and on, and like some things about it. It seems it's ending up up a mixed bag, and the negatives in the bag are still light enough that you're carrying it forward. Thank you for this blog post!

Waiting for Postgres 16: Cumulative I/O statistics with pg_stat_io
They sure take concerning decisions.

The MuseScore 4 release is otherwise awesome (and we must credit them for this!), but they include a non-free (but gratis) optional sound renderer, Muse Sounds, and don't make it very clear they do it (edit: and Muse Hub too, same thing). They also encourage users to save their work in the cloud way too strongly.

I'm not interested in their cloud. I would be interested in Muse Sounds, but there is no way I'm going to start to rely on non-free software today. The whole point of MuseScore, besides it being beginner-friendly, is that's it's free software and Tantacrul sells this aspect very well in its first video about MuseScore by the way.

I actually told them my concerns about Muse Sounds at their FOSDEM stand after they asked me if I saw issues with the new version. Maybe if there are enough voices about this…
> Just park then from there go anywhere you want then just take a taxi or lyft back to your car.

I thought I had heard it all but "take a lyft back to the parking lot your car is in" is a new low in car culture degeneracy.

Here is a summary of Lynn Stout's arguments about the "Shareholder Value Myth". https://corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2012/06/26/the-shareholder-v...

When I think about corporations trying to maximize profits at the expense of all others, I think of ancient Rome. Rome did maximize profits at the expense of everything else, even enslaving citizens for failing to pay their taxes which was one of the causes of the second servile war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Servile_War

The idea that corporations should deify shareholders at the expense of society means that shareholders are effectively declaring class warfare against everyone else.
Except in the example that you read, it cannot have done what it did without understanding what it was asked.
Turn the office buildings into whatever the market wants: lofts, warehouse, light industrial, retail, recreational space, housing, etc. The one thing we know the world doesn't want is the status quo (otherwise they wouldn't be empty), so we should not do anything that keeps it from finding its best use.
This is more broadly a problem with DAs not doing their jobs for "reasons" such as influence peddling by groups that shouldn't be meddling with DAs jobs.

To make it even worse, our political critters are bought and sold by NGOs and high moneyed interests thanks to billionaire influence peddlers. We can thank ESG and efforts to reduce racism for the reasons why laws aren't being applied evenly and fairly.

Unfortunately this slow boil is what ultimately leads to civil unrest and even wars.
>a) it seems kinda implausible they have ability to blow up the pipe-line, nevermind to do so without being detected in what has to be the most closely monitored body of water on the planet.

Is there a reason it couldn't have been a couple of zodiac boats? I can't imagine the entire Baltic sea is so well monitored that every craft of any size is tracked, even under the cover of darkness. Seems like a large moving van sized vehicle could hold a couple of deflated rafts, and a 10 man outfit in a trek across Poland.

I very much doubt that. It's likely true for straight up wasteful languages but very unlikely for more optimized runtimes.
There is one, but it's not necessarily worth it because the original is "good enough". Also, future strains might be more like the 2020 version again; no reason they wouldn't be.

We walked into a local place and said "I want a washer and dryer from 1980".

What you're looking for is Speed Queen.

They aren't cheap, the pair cost us $2700.

But old school mechanical dial timer, no digital anything.

What they are is commercial machines, that you would put in an apartment building, with no coin boxes.

We can go from dirty clothes, through the extra soil cycle on the washer through completely dry in less than 90 minutes. It's glorious.

>considering how many of them have been shut out from ever working at Google again/being rehired by the company end of their respective non-compete periods.

Is this because of layoffs or something else happening? I would think that mass layoffs would still allow eligibility for rehire down the road?
This, by the way, is why I don't discuss that a had long covid ever, with anyone. I don't need random strangers on the Internet that I've never met to believe me, or even believe in Long Covid (half the Internet thinks the vaccine has microchips anyway) but almost none of my friends believe me, which hurt, but fine. It's the medical professionals who didn't believe my symptoms until after there had been a preponderance of outside evidence that they bothered to take my symptoms seriously that were the worst. Yeah I'm not in the best of shape, but if I can't walk from my bedroom to my kitchen without getting winded, something is seriously wrong, and it's not simply my muscles atrophying from being indoors due to lockdowns.

Eventually medical science was able to be convinced of long covid, thanks to, or unfortunately because enough doctors and nurses caught it, pre-vaccine, that it was impossible for the medical industry to ignore. When a healthy 20-year old athlete has the same problems with extreme fatigue, doctors aren't as readily able to dismiss it. These days there are clinics that specialize in Long Covid. Even though they're not able to help everybody, it's still better than going through it, along, mid 2020.

But yeah, sure, dismiss it as a drug problem if it'll help you go about your day.
I can accept that people can find happiness in vastly different situations, but the "city life" is devoid of a lot of the things that people living in the suburbs and rural areas enjoy that require having a car.

People who collect things, or have a workshop in their garage, or go fishing, or hunting, or real hiking, or any outdoor activity really, or who have children (especially more than one).

If I lived in the city, I would probably get rid of my car and just rent one when I needed it. But I just don't really want to live in the city because none of the stuff I enjoy most is there.
Post-viral syndromes are real and if anything aren't exclusive to covid.

It's tempting to blame modern environmental factors for sperm counts being lower, but isn't it equally likely that something about the environment of the 1980s was causing sperm counts to be inflated? Like maybe sure the ancients of 1983 had a whole bunch of sperm, but because of all the lead in the gasoline most of them were duds in a way that would not have been understood at the time.
Did we read the same comment? He uses the words men, women, males, and females.

edit: the comment I originally replied to said something like "he uses the word females instead of women, that's a red flag". It's since been updated to just say he sounds like an MRA (why?) and I guess we're supposed to interpret that as a bad thing (because... why?)

I think another thing that's being missed is that, due to EPA regulations, cars aren't really all that sexy anymore. The Maserati MC20 is a V6. The C63 AMG is has dropped from its namesake 6.3-liter V8 already, and will soon be a small displacement twin-turbo i4. That's not very exciting.

This wouldn't be problematic if the replacement were better, but it's not. Try going on a long road trip in an electric car: depending on your origin and destination, it may or may not be possible. It will take a significant multiple of the time it would've taken in an ICE car.

It's no wonder today's youth aren't interested in anemic ICE cars - they aren't as cool or exciting as they used to be. And electric cars are only really viable/useful for the rich (with garages to charge them in) and/or those who live in densely populated areas where they don't have to drive very far... and those places usually have viable public alternatives that young people without families are happy to use instead.
I guess if you assume that very few leases were being signed after ~March 2020, most of the remaining (short-term) leases would have expired by 2024.
Poll: Are “levels” important at early stage companies?
When designating titles at an early stage company, should folks have "junior", "senior", "staff", "principal" in front of their role to designate experience or heirarchy?

Or does not having any levels lead positive outcomes? Like, better or easier hiring, better company culture, positive impact on contributions, etc?
Yes - important
No - detrimental

We have a fairly complex app with a front end in Typescript and a back end in Rust backed by Postgres on AWS.

My favorite part of the job is coding in Rust and we do a lot of cool things in that backend code. Unfortunately, most often the Rust code is the fastest and easiest part of a change, which means that I spend most of my time solving problems either on the front end with Typescript or on CI and infra type things rather than the Rust part.

It's a bit sad: if something just works, you spend less time on it than on the hairier things.
That's a good point— gay rights are pretty precariously situated and it seems a bit premature to celebrate their status as set in stone at this point.

But Democrats who run in elections and appoint judges seem to generally like being able to point to the courts as a risk, and show little interest in legally bolstering civil rights when they have the power to, so it'll probably stay as it is... until it doesn't, just like with Roe and Casey.

Young people want fun "cheap" cars. E.g. the Miata, 86, WRX, Civic SI/type R.

All of these cars ended up with significant markups over MSRP due to COVID and some (e.g. type R) are still massively marked up.
Also, the 2022 Camry is a significantly bigger car. The 1990 was a compact, like the Corolla today. The 2022 is a midsize car. Comparing 1990 Camry to 2022 Corolla would make more sense.
You're right but upon reading the article it does seem to actually be a form of Whig history - the article attributes the actual first work on this to Galileo (not Einstein), so while the headline is misleading, the article content seems to simply be surprised someone in the 14th century could be aware that gravity causes objects to accelerate at all.

The idea that the Galileo in being the first to formalise an equation for precise calculation of acceleration was by extension the first in history to conceptualise that acceleration occurs at all is a severe infantalisation of all scientists who preceded him.
The second mistake was only flirting with Bertrand Meyer’s work until the Gang of Four showed up and wrecked Java forever.

Meyer + functional core nets you a great deal of code with no exception declarations and an easy path for unit tests. If it hurts to do stuff it might not be the language that sucks, it might be you. Pain is information. Adapt.
Exceptions make it considerably harder to reason about state by reading the program text. As the notion that programmers should have some actual understanding of what they write slowly becomes less unfashionable, language features that make understanding code needlessly harder are losing some of their appeal even though they speed up writing the code.
You can't seriously write off 800,000 emergency calls because "maybe not all of them require police response", and then presume that 9/10 police officers sit around twiddling their thumbs. This is pure intellectual dishonesty.

Edit: Also, there's more that police do than administrative paperwork and investigating crime. I'd hazard a guess that a plurality, if not a majority, of police officers on any given shift are walking a beat, patrolling, enforcing traffic laws (i.e. speed limits), car crashes, etc.
I was watching this thing on the YouTubes about carrier pigeons, they didn’t have to kill every single one of them to cause their extinction but just enough for them to be incapable of breeding.
Not only that - the CEO has broad authority to decide what the best interests of the company and shareholders are, within reason.

Shareholders can't sue the CEO of Whole Foods for failing to stock profitable Coca-Cola products. If the CEO says that's the right decision for their brand, reputation and market positioning - that's precisely the sort of professional judgement the CEO was hired to make.
It's not just that, it's that driving a car (or being driven in one) while not owning one is pretty affordable in comparison to owning a car an then not using it a lot. Which is of course what a lot of people do. They talk up the need for them to go on long journeys and how important it is to have just the right vehicle for that. But the reality is that on average people only drive about 15000 miles at best. There are some outliers of course. But they go both ways. There are lots of people that drive far less than that.

If you think about it, the prospect of getting a loan to finance some expensive vehicle that costs tens of thousands of euros/dollars and then paying loads more every month for insurance, taxes, maintenance, and fuel is not very appealing. Some people spend many hundreds of dollars of their own money every month on a thing that they arguably could do without. And then there is parking as well. Parking is not cheap in bigger cities. There are cities where you need a mortage to be able to afford to buy the right to have your own parking place.

If you add all of that up, you can free up quite a nice budget for alternative ways to get around. I use taxis/ubers when I need them. I walk short distances or use a bike (nice and its good for me). I can hop on public transport at a reasonable cost. Total cost for all of this per month is probably around 50 euros in a typical month. I have a lease bike that costs me 22/month. The rest is public transport and an occasional uber. I technically also have access to car sharing but I rarely use that. Price is similar to an Uber and Uber is more convenient for me.

So, that's my day to day travel needs covered. I don't need a car for that and here in Germany, even a really shitty old car would probably cost me way more than that. I could double or triple my uber usage and it would still be cheaper.

For longer distance, I take trains and the occasional plane. If I need a car, I rent one. Happens maybe a few times a year. Total cost for car rental would be at best a 1000-1500 in an average year (including fuel). I can't make a case for owning a vehicle to cover any of that. And I don't think I ever will.

For the future, self driving cars might add some more options and flexibility. Getting a self driving car to pick me up would allow me to be driven while I nap at night to some far away destination. Door to door service, private, comfortable, etc. No need to own a car for that. And that could probably be cheaper than a train/flight + hotel. Not that hard to build a business around having something like that with some luxury options. Why would you ever own a car if you can get something like that to pick you up to go wherever on a moment's notice? How often could you do that before it becomes cheaper to own the car? Self driving will turn car rental on its head. You don't go some place to pick up the car. You get picked up by the car.
Sorry for the potential insult, but your paragraph feels very ChatGPT-like to me. Did I get that right?
With safe, separated infrastructure, a commute of the same duration via bicycling or walking would be even better for your physical and mental health. We all live in a prison of car supremacy, whether we realize it or not.

This is not an uncommon pitfall when working with strings in all languages. In Java for example it is drilled into people to use StringBuilder instead of concatenating with + on String if you do it in a loop, precisely because of this exact issue.

That is a tweet about a suspicion, not a news article with a concrete claim. Also, USAID is indeed widely perceived as an arm of the US government, or the CIA more specifically, for political intervention in foreign countries. And I would be pretty worried if Samantha Power were to land in my country and start driving some "locally-driven" initiatives.

> that's because you're a tankie

This "tankie" thinks the Russian regime has done and does many bad things, like killing civilians, suppressing speech and organization, forcing a military draft, maintaining a social order of massive exploitation of workers by private proprietors, etc. It's just that most of those bad things don't happen to be the bad things which the US is accusing Russia of - and the latter are often just fanciful tales or more elaborate fabrication.
If your pension fund can't handle an investment potentially becoming worthless you deserve to lose all your money. If you decide to take the risk on any investment, you get the rewards when things go right but face the consequences if the investment doesn't pan out. There's no need for taxpayers to be involved in this process even if the people losing money are teachers, orphans, veterans, or grandmas.

It is also the strategy for profit maximisation for many, many software companies. "Change request" is a big deal in outsourced enterprise software dev. It is so bad that 'honest' software development groups that estimate accurately and don't have a culture of change requests cannot compete.

That's an American perspective. The right, in Europe, support universal healthcare (because they own the companies that provide the services and receive the tax money). It's been this way for a very long time.

Therefore, characterising Europe as left wing on this issue is a mistake.
the rural demographic that continually think everything is about them and their way of life

Rubbish, these articles are nearly always written by and supported by the dominant voice in the mainstream media - young, liberal city-dwellers, who seem to have no concept that there is a huge part of the population who are funding their "progress", often at the expense of their own infrastructure and quality of life.

Akamai was founded there in 1995. Thinking Machines moved to that general area in 1984. Lotus Software was nearby since 1982. Infocom was there in the 1980s. Google opened Cambridge in 2003. Several other MIT-spinoff startups came and went, of course (Lisp Machines/Symbolics).
It obviously depends on what the startup does!

My favorite startup (2003) was building a shared-nothing distributed system. We chose Java for the distributed part. Messages were formatted in one of the language-independent serialization formats (Avro? Google Protocol Buffers? I don't remember). We wrote a number of distributed algorithms ourselves, e.g. leader election. We wrote our own logic to detect failed nodes, network partitions, etc., and to react to those events. It was a huge amount of effort, and took a long time to get right. Finally, it worked really well.

Shortly after completing the system I discovered Erlang, which had battle-tested solutions to many of the problems we solved on our own. That language would have saved us a LOT of time and effort.
