The answer to that question depend on what kind of quantity and quality that the shunning had on a person. At the extreme end we have massive discrimination of whole demographic because something a single person said or did, and at the other end we have zero reaction.

We can look at notable events in history, like say Monty Python's Flying Circus and the Monty Python films. Those were censored in some countries and got shunned by Catholics, but they did not get fired, their homes did not get turned on fire, the shows did still air on TV and movie studies in the UK, they continued to get employment later in life and in general was not that shunned by society at large. How they treated Catholics was not compared to the Nazi. UK flags was not burned nor did anyone break into UK embassies.

So that is one level of free speech we can compare with. Catholics may disapprove of what Monty Python said and did, but as a society we should defend the level of free speech that Monty Python performed. We should avoid having consequences of Monty Python-level of free speech be worse than what Monty Python received back in 1979.

Same for me, I did never realize before that I wanted to play Grindstone while laying on the couch just being in the company of my SO, semi-watching the same TV show as she is, instead of being in another room.
> He is very clearly arguing for “single entry single exit”.

Agreed. Return forces you into a single exit. Upon hitting return, the code can only return back to where the function was originally called. It cannot 'arbitrarily' jump to some other place in code as you could do in an unstructured programming language like, say, BASIC. Which is what Dijkstra was pushing for, being a strong proponent of structured programming.

I don't know of any modern programming language that does allow anything outside of a single exit, exception handlers and setjmp/longjmp excepted. There is a good case to be made that the latter two reintroduce the very problem Dijkstra warned of and are generally considered harmful for the same reason.
> Even better are dumpsters for college dorms or other student housing at the end of the term when everyone's moving out. Rich kids will throw away items worth hundreds of dollars.

Here in Boston, "Allston Christmas" has become a well-known term. It refers to the events of every June here, when people cruise the student-heavy neighborhood of Allston looking for good stuff thrown out by students moving out. (If you do this, remember that you need to be prepared to deal with bedbugs.)

I know that people always complained about the younger generation. That's not what I meant.

What I meant was that these days a lot of people feel the need to immediately push back on someone's opinion by framing it as ethically bad. They do this while offering no opinion themselves. For example I got in trouble because I questioned the way corporations are implementing diversity initiatives. I am completely on board with the intent but I think it's not done in an effective manner but more like a PR stunt. It's possible that I am wrong but I don't think I deserve to be called a racist by people who are not offering any thought of their own on the issue.

I think this has to do with the the way the US parties with the help of social media have managed to split the populace into two camps that live in separate realities where even listening to somebody who is on the "other" side is viewed as treason.

I've seen a bunch of retro gaming with EmulationStation and there a tone of tutorials on how to set it up, best practices. This is what pushed me over the top to consider buying one. Then Ps5's finally came back in stock... I'll be getting a steam deck in the future to try Emulation Station.

Don’t disagree. But we’re going off reputation priors. Allegations can emerge that make affiliation risky without rising to the standard of public disclosure.

The hassle-free portable experience is the Steam Deck killer app and value. You don't need "exclusives", you just need to be plain better as a product.

It's less of a pain to use that most linux friendly laptops.

It's less of a pain to use that constatly messing around with equivalent Windows-powered or Android-powered tablet-slab devices.
Very interesting.

I have a question regarding the change from a external periodic process (author mentions two: backup database, and send post-wedding email to couple) to goroutine:

- if fly.io ever needs to scale your app up to > 1 instance, won't couples receive duplicate emails? (similarly, any other background process like database backup would be run in multiplicity)
I fall into that category - I have two 4k screens and a desktop that I do a good bit of gaming on, I also have a steam deck.

I find they excel at different things. I don't feel locked to a desk with the deck - I can grab it and go chill on the couch with my wife while she's watching a show.

I can also lug it around on vacation/trips as an alternative to my personal laptop, since it's a real linux machine. I've done work on it while travelling without any problems (although I did have an external mouse/keyboard for that).

Where it doesn't really excel is information dense games - I really enjoy rimworld/factorio/ck3/df style games, and honestly - I still prefer playing them on the large screens because it's just hard to deal with the much smaller screen real-estate on the deck. It's doable - but it's not as fun.

On the other hand - I hadn't touched a pokemon game since I was a kid, and I've played through several of them on the deck. They're a blast. Most games that are designed for a small screen/controller are really great on the deck.

Most rpg style games are pretty solid as well. Again - the only games I've really felt limited on were the ones where I just needed more screen real-estate, because the game was designed entirely around PC play on a large screen.

I have not personally bought the dock from valve since I already have a usb-c dock and it works fine with the deck. It handles being docked to a 4k monitor without any issues, although I don't game much in that setup - I mostly do productive/work tasks.

As for controls - I think the most revolutionary part of the deck is the control overlay they have going on. Being able to customize any button to almost any input is very, very cool. there's a LOT of power there, and I really haven't felt the need to plug in a mouse/keyboard for gaming (even for very mouse-centric games). The only exception is text input: it's still fairly slow and clunky with the default controls.

You won't be playing "Mavis Beacon teaches typing" on it. But it can handle pretty much every other game I've tried (some better than others, but none so bad I couldn't play at all).

My opinion: It's a complete steal for the price. I still probably do more gaming on the desktop, but not by all that much, and the fact that it's a true general purpose computer and not a hamstrung, locked-down, consumption only device is a huge breath of fresh air. Makes for a great little travel computer.
My bad. In the newer edition they called it "enumerated types":

I didn't realize that "scalar types" in the first edition were the same thing.
The local university maintained DECNet routing to support systems still in use in the physics department until the early 2000's (when they also ceased inter-building IPX routing). Guess which systems were never exploited for distributing Warez and porn?

All exploited systems before then were either windows nt or Linux. Commercial Unix (Dec, sgi, sun) rarely came up and generally only when there were accounts using identical credentials with a more exploitable platform.

FEMA can't even show up to emergencies in a timely manner, or produce functional online training courses. Why do you think more federal agencies are an answer?

Draining the US military of 1/5 of it's budget while Russia is invading it's neighbors and China is more aggressive with Taiwan is probably unwise.

Then bringing in federal assets to run an extremely local project (forcing those people to also travel for extended periods of time), with no jurisdiction (fed can't overrule state laws on planning typically) sounds like a disaster.

The government also has a very spotty track record with construction projects.
A lot of people seem to be conflating backups and archives. They are very much not the same thing. An archive has an archivist and an index. It has structure that makes it useful long after the system that created it has disappeared.

Some years ago when I was Unix sysadmin and responsible for backup I had a call from a draughtsman trying to find a rather important drawing. I asked him when he had seen it last, He said he wasn't sure but that it must have been at least two years ago. He was totally flabbergasted when I pointed out that we recycle the backup tapes after twelve months and that there was very little chance that the file would be recoverable. It had never occurred to anyone in the company that an archive would be a good idea all the files were simply kept on live disks; quite remarkable really when you consider that the products often cost a million dollars and are expected to last half a century and be repairable to last even longer.

I have seen this almost everywhere I go. Large companies used to have libraries and librarians but now such things and such people are regarded as non-productive and hence to be wiped out.

Even in a corporate job, this is immensely useful. Maximizing my own productivity for the things I have to do frees up time for the things want to do at work. I'm talking about personal growth, not leisure (time needs to be allocated to that too).

Personal growth then leads to taking on more responsibilities. Sometimes that leads to a promotion, other times it leads to better job opportunities. Either way, this contributes to salary increases.

I once worked on a system where the original developer, supposedly with 25+ years experience, did not know about prepared statements.

The other things about standing around is modern machines get so much more done that most of the time it doesn't pay to work. A single scoup of an excavator is more than one person with a shovel can do in the day, so what is the point of even trying. Sometimes someone needs to dig by hand. Now it may seem like get rid of people, but the problem is every 20 minutes you need all those people to do something that must be done by hand, then they all work for 5 minutes and stand around again while the machine works.
I hope so. But the alternative is that people double down on social networks and their fake virtual lives.

Judging by the MAU of most platforms it seems that there's no slowing down though.
That doesn’t make sense. `null | false | true` is not equivalent to `Option<bool>` or `Option<false | true>`. Just like `zero | one | two` is not equivalent to `Option<one | two>`.

Assuming that `true | false` is equivalent to something like `enum { true, false }`.

Short answer: no. Long answer:

When you consider ARM vs AMD vs Intel vs current-gen vs last-gen, AWS sells several 8-core 32-GB machines that have wildly varying performance characteristics.

It used to be that the manner of virtualization impacted performance, too. I think that might be less the case now.

To know if you're getting good value, you really need to try a few different vendors and benchmark then, either with real workloads or synthetic ones.

OMG, pretty much a lot of what I have personally been through. But the problem is deeper and goes beyond a company not knowing what to do with someone that does ML/Data Science ... Most of software that comes out either does not contribute to society at all or is in some form harmful to it, usually due to the need for such things to be somehow profitable. And pretty much all the senior devs I know are burned out on this in one form or another and want to quit and have a farm/bakery or whatever that actually does something

In the case of caches like Google, Internet Archive, or `archive.today` (same thing as `archive.ph`)... probably, in the USA? If it winds up in court, we will find out, eventually.

Simply reading anything on the web technically involves "making a copy" already, which is one reason it gets and has remained somewhat confusing and complex to determine what is or is not legal with regard to copying web content. You can't simply say "making a copy is not allowed".

It is only bad for your knees if you don't know how to run downhills and don't train for it.

Running injuries come from overload or overuse (or bad health). Both causes can be prevented by being conscious of what causes overload and overuse and then training in a way that will prevent it.

If all you ever do is run flat asphalt and then you suddenly decide to run hills then yes, the downhill can be bad for your knees -- but that's just because you stupidly decided to introduce a new load your joints and tendons are not adapted to.

Same happens whenever you change technique or have some kind of imbalance -- your body will adjust by moving loads from one place to another but your brain may not be smart enough to realise the new place may not have had enough time to adjust to it.

Anybody can write a book, I guess. But don't take any running books as gospel. Nobody really understands everything about running (well... maybe Phil Maffetone does).

I run with severed ACL in one of my knees and so out of necessity I have to be much more knowledgeable to be able to keep running safely and keep my legs in good shape.

Hi. I'm also working on an E2E secrets manager. https://github.com/purton-tech/cloak

A few tips.

1. It looks like I'm able to do account enumeration on your login page. For a secure app you want to make sure this is not possible.

2. Your CSP https://csp-evaluator.withgoogle.com/ has unsafe-eval. I would lock that down.

3. Your app seems to be JS based, which is OK but it means you have a whole bunch of supply chain attacks on nodejs to worry about. You should only run the bare minimum JS on the frontend when dealing with encryption keys.

4. You're storing keys in local storage. There's a trick you can do, if you store an actual CrypoKey object instead of a string and set non extractable to true you can stop JS extracting private keys.

5. For key stretching looks like your using Argon2-browser. Actually browsers come with a built in with PBKDF2 that runs faster than a JS based argon. So I'm able to get 10 million iterations in a few seconds which is an NIST recommendation.

6. Some of your dependencies look like they are not maintained anymore. i.e. argon2-browser.

This is what I was able to find so far. Hope this helps.

Wish harm on the person, no the tech /s

But seriously, as much as I strongy disapprove of this whole russian invasion fiasco (and the humanitarian impact of a senseless conflict), I think that there's still merit on the technology itself. Its not like Viacheslav is bombing ukrainian civilians in order to squeeze some performance inprovements out of the storage media. For the same reason, I won't stop running nginx on my boxes.

Many famous inventors were bastards in real life. Take for example the guy who invented the machine gun, allowing killing and maiming on a whole new level. Many Nobel Prize winners, who worked out the basis of whole new research areas were eugenics proponents. Hell, Schrödinger was probably a kid diddler; John Lennon, a wife beater; the corn flakes guy was a nut; disgusting bastards, the whole lot of them. But that's because they were people. Its not like Kevin Spacey became a bad actor once the sexual abuse allegations were made public, or Chuck Berry's music became bad when people realized he was a pervert. Likewise, all those people contributed to their fields in ways that still influence how we live today.

And to be completely fair, ReiserFS has been deprecated not because of the infamous murder case (of which Hans should prob be finishing his sentence soon), but because many of its contributions were superceded by new tech present in modern, well-supported alternatives. Also the reliance on kernel locks. And it inspired some of these following improvements.
