Or maybe people want him to fail for the same reason they want someone like Martin Shkreli or Kanye West to fail: because he's bad for society.
Again, "genetic" is not maybe what some people want to think it means, as an immutable thing. People's genes (as a population) change over time, education and culture select for different things. One group now, even if you said that they were "genetically" less performing, might well change within a few generations.

> do not use it as a truck

Could you elaborate? It sounds like you're trying to suggest that towing an RV is the only use for a truck? But then you mentioned worksite, and the Lightning is very well suited for that (says my next-door neighbor, who operates a small construction company, and is quite happy to be electrified and not spending $1500/month fueling a gas-powered half ton).

What's amazing to me is how some people continually try to minimize him. The proof is in the pudding. He assembled the top talent to produce the best products that pushed our experience with technology forward. Very few people are able to do that. Any time someone says "oh he just," it says more about their own insecurity than him. Yeah he had a lot of help, yeah he had personal relationship issues, he's not a god, but I don't understand why some people refuse to appreciate what he accomplished. It's a limiting "hater" mindset. (This is not necessarily entirely directed at the above post [which did kind of strangely come around]).
What's the proper speed? If the majority of traffic is going 70 in a 65, and you consider the speed limit the proper speed, to the majority trying to squeeze around you: you're the idiot.

If you consider "the going rate of traffic" the proper speed, then everyone going the speed limit will look at you as the speeding idiot.
> A few of the recruiters I have talked with have mentioned that they’re getting hundreds of applications within hours of a posting going live

I think a good example of this is on LinkedIn. I see "Over 200 Applicants" and "See how you compare to 421 applicants" on their Easy Apply job postings.
Mass applying to hundreds of positions with a single non-tailored resume has never worked and will never work. If you want interviews you need to get a referral.
It used to have a lot more to do with time spent at the library. Nerds are bookish.

Now libraries have conference rooms (where you might play D&D) and computers and movies to check out. Invasion of the geeks!
Dugin doesn't really speak to "geopolitics" in general though. He mostly writes nationalist fanfic dressed up as policy or history. He might be an ok source for informing Kremlinology efforts but his ideas aren't exactly useful for predicting anything other than what Russia might do next, which is kind of necessary for a general theory of geopolitics.
You're probably correct about the U.S. but that does have built in car dependence. Worldwide, e-bikes and e-scooters are a very useful additional option for a lot of people and here in Bristol, UK, I see more and more of them everyday (assuming that's not just confirmation bias).
I could be wrong about this (it's been awhile since I took chemistry), but I think the ice has to be floating for the Archimedes principle to apply.

You can fill a glass of ice-water right up to the brim, and it won't spill over as the ice melts. But only if the ice is floating in the water. It's because the ice's mass pushes down on the liquid water, displacing a fixed amount relative to the weight of the ice.

Featured in this list are two of my favorite fountain pens, the Pilot Vanishing Point and the Lamy 2000. Both of these in my collection write very well and both have unique and interesting designs.

The Pilot Vanishing Point doesn't need a cap, the nib is exposed and protected in a manner akin to clicking a ball point in and out. Mine works perfectly.

The Lamy 2000 is sleek and modern looking with a sophisticated design. It looks like a fountain pen that one might see in a Star Trek movie, but this model has been around since the mid 1960's. After half a century, the design is still the favorite of my collection. It operates flawlessly.

I own the other, less expensive fountain pens mentioned as well; they would be good choices too. I started out with some of these and I still like them, but it is easy to get hooked on buying more fountain pens and fancy inks.
This is a nicely designed application. I've always struggled to make UIs look good like this, even with SwiftUI which ostensibly should make it easier.

Any tips to share for how to approach SwiftUI code to achieve the sort of aesthetic you've got here?
Any time I've ever heard fines used in the context of a business, it's never paying back the money. It's paying back a fraction of the money. And usually it's to the government, not to the people harmed.
But I never agreed with impeding the forceful solution. I merely said I find it sympathetic and understandable to do so. You're misunderstanding me in the exact way where I think I'm in some crazy land where I think everyone is acting sympathetically but no one else seems to be capable of believing this. I firmly understand the absolute need for the community to try and protect its housed people, but I also acknowledge the very same community is doing so because it has no protection for its unhoused people.
Honestly this is how projects should start. Simple, easy, maintainable.

> Skipping town on a sentence puts one in a rarified category where enforcement is now a federal problem

Enforcement of federal crimes like those Holmes was charged with is federal to start with. Skipping sentence makes it a US Marshals’ problem, though.

> I’m aware of one case where for a suspect in a murder, the FBI put together a yacht party in a foreign country, got the target on the ship, sailed it out to international waters, and took them into custody at that point.

Federal law enforcement has straight up hired people to kidnap a suspect from a country with which we have an extradition treaty; your example is hardly extreme. (And I’m talking about before the War on Terror.)

Though the best example of that is the DEA, not the FBI:

Tbh it was always not that great with "too much experience". I feel that the best response rate is on that sweet spot of around ~5 years, probably because you already know enough but are still relatively cheap for the employer.

I imagine that with that much exp and FAANGs on resume you are still negotiating FAANG salary, which are kind of the outliers of the industry.

Idk, the dev market in my country (Poland) stills seems to be in a good shape, but we're earning pennies comparatively (50k USD would be a top 1% senior position) so not sure if that's actually better. I might get a stable salary and lots of companies to choose from if there's anything I don't like, but you can beat my earnings with a 3-month side gig, so... :D
> FAANG experience

Probably the reason. Most companies need people with experience in more than just one layer of a stack. Hard times for those who cant own a full stack, unfortunately.
Using this module, Powerdevil does not allow you to set values individually per monitor, instead gives you only a single slider. This is absolutely sufficient for single monitor or multi monitor setups with identical models, but in my case I need the option to set the brightness individually since my monitors are all differently bright on 100%.
Is each individual investment over $5k? By letter of the law, you can steal $25 a million times, or $25 million one time, but you better not steal $5k three times.
There are 400,000+ Beta users currently (US and Canada). You are being fooled by the headlines. The people in the EU have a legitimate beef (not being able to use the functionality). "test a system with our own lives" is silly hyperbole and you know it.
You may well be the 1-5% of projects that need it.
> I've never seen this in years of dealing with RabbitMQ.

Did you do long running jobs like they did? It's a stereotype, but I don't think they used the technology correctly here -- you're not supposed to hold onto messages for hours before acknowledging. They should have used RabbitMQ just to kick off the job, immediately ACKing the request, and job tracking/completion handled inside... a database.
A good reason to want self-absorbed bullies to publicly fail rather than publicly succeed is to discourage others from adopting similar attitude and methods.

> how would you "dollarise" damage caused by incorrect sample analysis that caused the death of a patient

I don’t personally believe jail should be limited to violent acts for this reason. (My exceptions being corruption and fraud.)
You are right. It’s just interesting how cold thinking for crime in the corporate world can be just a big fine (even with thousands if not millions of people health are impacted and they all knew about it) but if you someone lose it on someone else it’s jail time. Again doesn’t mean he/she shouldn’t go to jail but where is any real balance with corporate crime and the free pass with money drops?
You do the crime, you do the time! It's called punishment because it's a damn crime. A person who made the decision to use shoddy materials to build a building knowing it will collapse, and that building does collapse and killed thousands. So that person should be "rehabilitated"? Give me a break. A little common sense goes a long way.
Don't think this is the point. Calling something Oranges, and then saying "they're not really oranges, but an approximation, but we call them oranges bc it sounds cool" is still fraudulent in my view.
I bought the TWISBI ECO on a lark. I was hesitant because I already had the GO and the ECO was just more expensive.

Well boy-howdy is the ECO not only leagues better than the GO, but I much prefer to all my other pens.

Folks recommend the really cheap platinum preppy pens, but be warned they are super scratchy. I would go a size up from what you normally prefer wrt to nib (if you are new, try M as F and EF are extremely scratchy IMHO).

The opposite is true about the TWISBI in my experience. Go a size down. Their F nibs write quite fat.

Then again, I mostly write on cheap paper so this advice def doesn't apply to e.g. Rhodia pads.

Finally, I don't love the metropolitan. Feels great in the hand but I always find myself reaching for the smooth writing I get from my Eco.
I've had a very good experience with pg queuing. I didn't even know `skip locked` was a pg clause. That would have... made the experience even better!

I am afraid I've moved to a default three-way architecture:

- backend autoscaling stateless server

- postgres database for small data

- blobstore for large data

it's not that other systems are bad. its just that those 3 components get you off the ground flying, and if you're struggling to scale past that, you're already doing enormous volume or have some really interesting data patterns (geospatial or timeseries, perhaps).
Can this also be solved with W3C Verified Claims and ~ https://blockcerts.org/ (and an append-only, multiply distributed/synchronized/replicated/redundantly-backed-up permissioned database/Blockchain)?

And then, again, what is the TPS of the DB? How many read and write Transactions Per Second do the candidate datastores support with or without strong Consistency, Availability, and/or Partition Tolerance? And then what about cryptographic Data Integrity assurances.

FWIU, issuing shares on a Blockchain is challenging due to lost keys / shared cryptographic keys and reissuance?
Two issues though: leak of data from one party to another, and misuse of data by the party you gave it to. Most big companies don’t leak this type of data, but they sure as hell misuse it and have the fines to prove it.
> Social media is how a lot of political activism happens, for better and for worse. But as far as I'm aware the FSF does not have a presence here.

Indeed. People in the inner circle around RMS do not use social media. They are either genuinely uninterested, or for the political reason does not want to use anything that includes non-free JavaScript or other non-free technologies, where non-free is defined by the GNU project, i.e. the GPL compatible license.

> Now, let's contrast that to right-to-repair.

Because that is something that people can immediately "feel".

I believe people should become more aware that free software, or at least, open source software, is important for democracy and freedom. How can you ever have freedom if whomever wish can spy on you and control what you say? Can you have free elections if your vote is manipulated? How can you ever be sure if machines run closed source software only very few chosen ones have access to? How can you ever know what happens in the world and make informed decisions if there is no free information. Can we trust any information and software if it runs closed source binary blobs? I believe that the only way to solve this is to make laws that demand open source software to be used in software of public importance.
It's strange isn't it! Does it happen in other countries that you can negotiate when your prison sentence starts? Here in the UK, the judge passes sentence and literally "sends you down" to the cells to start it. (The holding cells in larger courts are physically below the dock where the prisoner is sentenced https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/send-dow... )

Also this rule only seems to apply to rich people. Poor people even in America go straight to prison.
I'm not saying Twitter front end is that hard to clone, but I wonder how many ex-twitter employees are at Substack now working on Notes.
Funny enough, we designed one subsystem to use RabbitMQ to enforce linear committed records into mongodb to avoid indices. I.e. the routes in rabbitMQ would ensure a GUID tagged record was spatially localized with other user data on the same host (the inter-host shovel traffic is minimized).

Depends on the use-case, but the original article smells like FUD. This is because the connection C so lib allows you to select how the envelopes are bound/ack'ed on the queue/dead-letter-route in the AMQP client-consumer (you don't usually camp on the connection). Also, the expected runtime constraint should always be included when designing a job-queue regardless of the underlying method (again, expiry default routing is built into rabbitMQ)...

Cheers =)
- People I follow have left. Most have moved to Mastodon so I can still follow them there. It's a constant trickle but some day the weight will be higher on Mastodon's side of the balance.

- Ads range from obnoxious to downright scams. I know some people used to block ad senders as a matter of routine, but I didn't, most of the time they were valid and I was happy to support the site via their ads. After Musk, most ads vanished and for a while all I saw was Nintendo and SpaceX (!?) ads. Now there's many ads, but I block 95% of them because I REALLY do not want to ever again see the kind of shit they're pushing.

- Search, and content outside of my carefully curated list of follows in my chronological timeline, has become complete hell. I used to be happy to search for "stuff that's happening" in Twitter rather than google or news sites, but now the stuff that comes out is not only irrelevant, but often disgusting.

I still use the site but in a very specific and controlled manner. In that way, the experience is still good (bugs aside). I suspect at some point Musk will force some algorithmic crap down my throat and that will be the end.
I assume they'll be going after Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, etc. now for doing literally the same thing?
excellent use of a Free Scroll to Top Button from ScrollToTop.com however!
People always seem to be more forgiving of non violent crimes, but just have your house broken into whist you’re asleep with you kids in the house and it can seriously mess you up. It’s such a massive violation and you’ll struggle to sleep in that house again. I’d take a punch in the face any day of the week.
Yeah. A great example of the corruption problem is the story of Tuvalu. Here's a research paper from 2018 that looked at the size of the islands using radar data:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-02954-1

It starts by saying:

"Sea-level rise and climatic change threaten the existence of atoll nations. Inundation and erosion are expected to render islands uninhabitable over the next century, forcing human migration"

but then just two sentences later:

"Results highlight a net increase in land area in Tuvalu of 73.5 ha (2.9%) [in the past 40 years], despite sea-level rise, and land area increase in eight of nine atolls"

Tuvalu got bigger! It goes on to explain that Tuvalu has grown due to other factors that were not previously considered. Yet the field is so corrupt that a paper literally reporting that Pacific islands are getting bigger has to start by repeating the claim that those very same islands will be "inundated" and "rendered uninhabitable". It goes on to argue that maybe the biggest problems the islands face is not climate change per se but rather "the historic imprint of colonial agendas and entrenched land tenure systems".

That was in 2018. It had no effect on the narrative whatsoever. In 2019 the Guardian wrote a huge story telling its readers that Tuvalu is going to be drowned by climate change and how angry they are at Donald Trump because in future they'll have to evacuate their homes:

https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2019/may/16/o...

“Tuvalu is sinking” is the local catch-all phrase for the effects of climate change on this tiny island archipelago on the frontline of global warming.

The entire story is misinformation, but you'd never know that if you didn't double check these things and the Guardian not only never will but actively tells its readers that people who do double check are evil.
I've been doing okay, lots of targeted recruiter interest, but I have a pretty specialized set of domain knowledge that is useful for a specific industry (energy efficiency, basically) and gets me in the front door for most companies doing the stuff I know about, since they aren't as affected by the current tech downturn (everyone always needs energy). I not as worried about AI powered software engineering or other SWEs taking my job since I write algorithms that AI just can't do, yet, but someday when there's a glut of software engineers some will probably learn what I do and apply it better than I am able to. I'm hoping my current small startup survives and does well, so I don't have to try finding another job, though.
So far as the three strikes statute is concerned, there is no difference. The law is blind.
Yep, absolutely. But the side effect I am referring to (and probably wasn't clear enough about) is that the oplog is globally shared across the replica set. So even if your queue collection tops out at like 10k documents max, if you have another collection in the same deployment thats getting 10mm docs/min, your queue window is also gonna be artificially limited.

Putting the queue in its own deployment is a good insulation against this (assuming you don't need to use aggregate() with the queue across collections obviously).

Which required a technological innovation that may or may not existed at the time. This is like saying "autonomous cars can't ever hit a human being". Well, no shit, that would be great, but the technology isn't there yet.

It's well and good to romanticize Steve Jobs, but "assigning single factor causation to the output of complex adaptive system is a triumph of hope over experience"...his obsession with product design was certainly a factor, but it wasn't the ONLY factor.
What you said is true globally, but not locally. To those who live near the affected area, clearing is one of the best immediate options.

But what you said is also wrong: We can do both. We can evict unlawful camps where they infringe on the rights of others, and we can prepare better solutions. We don't need to stop one to wait for the other, no matter which one you do first.
