For any given thing we desire to have, we have a set amount that we would like to have each day (or per amount of time) to feel satisfied. Total abstinence of a thing is easier than consumption restricted to below that set amount.

When you're in total abstinence, you can forget that the thing even exists. It ceases to occupy your mind, so you don't feel like there's a want going unfulfilled. When instead you have just a little bit, far too little to satisfy you, the difference between the amount you're getting and how much you'd like causes intense anxiety that you have to deal with somehow.
why not just allow the price of water to accurately be reflected in the prices that farmers pay for water? if they paid more for water, they'd use it more wisely and more varieties would get planted that use less water, more efficient irrgation would become financially viable. you can't expect farmers to take financial losses by saving water. however, if you make it in their financial intereset to save water, it'll automatically get done.
I have to laugh, because I literally just got back from a week in the forest. I have a spot I escape to that I charge my laptop every night and then in the mornings I can drive up and work from my laptop overlooking an old growth forest in bc. And I get more work done, feel the best about myself, and just overall feel the modern society stress way less.

It’s funny because I found myself feeling very isolated and lonely the last few few weeks and without even thinking my body just packed a bag and drove out to this spot. And I have to say, I feel a million times better if anyone out there is craving the same thing.
How about some PowerShell instead?

# Echo command-line input

$args -join " "

(Yes, it's a single line.)

# Count duplicates in a file

$lines = @{}
foreach ($path in $args) {
cat $path | % { $lines[$_] += 1 }
}
$lines.GetEnumerator() | % { if ($_.Value -gt 1) { "$($_.Value)`t$($_.Name)" } }

# GET request

param($url)
irm $url

# Parallel GET requests

$before = get-date
$args | % -parallel {
$res = iwr $_
$after = get-date
$time = ($after - $using:before).TotalSeconds
"${time}s`t$($res.RawContentLength)`t$_"
} -ThrottleLimit 12345
$after = get-date
$time = ($after - $before).TotalSeconds
"${time}s elapsed"

I'm showcasing a few different ways of doing things: using $args, using the param directive; using foreach, or % which is an alias of ForEach-Object; irm for Invoke-RestMethod, iwr for Invoke-WebRequest...

The change was made with bash-4.1:

This is a terse description of the new features added
to bash-4.1 since the release of bash-4.0. [...]

j. The [[ and (( commands are now subject to the setting
of `set -e' and the ERR trap."

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/tree/NEWS#n1078

Test program:

$ cat foo.sh
#!/bin/bash
set -eux

echo "$BASH_VERSION"

i=0

(( i++ ))
echo "?=$? i=$i"

(( i++ ))
echo "?=$? i=$i"

Running with 3.2.57:

$ /bin/bash foo.sh
+ echo '3.2.57(1)-release'
3.2.57(1)-release
+ i=0
+ (( i++ ))
+ echo '?=1 i=1'
?=1 i=1
+ (( i++ ))
+ echo '?=0 i=2'
?=0 i=2

Running with 5.1.16:

$ /opt/homebrew/bin/bash foo.sh
+ echo '5.1.16(1)-release'
5.1.16(1)-release
+ i=0
+ (( i++ ))

So the arithmetic operation returns non-zero in both cases where it evaluates to 0, but only under bash >= 4.1 does it cause bash to terminate.

The moral of the story is to be careful with arithmetic operations that might evaluate to zero, or use this:

(( operation )) || true

Yes, we do.

Today's geomagnetic event, though, hasn't even come up on the PJM dashboard. For K >= 7, they issue a Geomagnetic Disturbance Warning. 7 so far this year, none today. The next step up is a Geomagnetic Disturbance Action. One of those was issued in 2010:

Geomagnetic Disturbance Action 04.11.2010 23:17 PJM-RTO

As of 22:40 hours, a Solar Magnetic Disturbance - Conservative Operation Action
has been issued to protect the power system from damage or disruptions due to
increased solar magnetic activity.

Additional Comments: SESC (Space Weather Operations) in Boulder, CO has issued an
SMD Warning of K-7 intensity from 4/11 at 2240 hrs to 4/12 at 1200 hrs EDT.

That's the most recent event that required power grid action.

I don't know that it's a great plan to do a blogpost and in-app notification as the first round of reminders and email on the day of the change. Both the blogpost and in-app notification requires you to explicitly go on GitLab and see there's a problem. Maybe there's a reason to avoid it, but emailing from the get-go seems like it is the right move for transparency and not rug-pulling.

Are you perhaps referring to FTPS, which is FTP with SSL/TLS added? SFTP is very, very different from FTP.

Note that SFTP is not a protocol for security transport / authentication. It doesn't do that. It assumes that you've already secured/authorized the channel with SSH. See section 1 of the RFC.

> A friend with similar opinions worries that the Quiverfull movement will result in Christian nationalists taking over.

I'm less worried about that, because I grew up in that subculture - my parents were early adopters, before the label had been coined - and the extreme religious belief doesn't really stick. So far as I am aware, none of the kids in my cohort have followed in our parents' footsteps. Many of us abandoned religion entirely, and those who kept with it have found more conventional expressions; none of us have gone on to raise enormous families of our own.

It makes sense, when you consider why people are drawn to join extreme religious movements in the first place; of course the kids they raise are going to have a very different experience and perspective on life, and they're likely to go looking for what they need in a different direction.
> In the UK and Ireland (and maybe elsewhere?)

I think its just the UK and Ireland where there's a demand for "high performance" kettles. The rest of the world is condemned to waiting longer boiling periods due lower-wattage kettles. I've had a British expat audibly exasperated by my kettle.
To be fair, this has changed considerably over the last 10 years.

GitLab was drastically cheaper, offering free private repos, and interesting features ahead of GitHub (although IMO always slightly less "sexy" than GitHub, using Ruby on Rails, etc.).

But at the time they gathered (1) serious funding money and (2) influx from MS-asylants their priorities started to change. But they were still the cheaper option for quite some time IIRC.
The pandemic and the associated gold-rush/growth in IT pushed the dynamics over the edge I think.

Now their position is not really that different from GitHub's, and I think it is kind of a preference thing.

I can do with both, but I kind of still like the appeal and UX in GitHub. GitLab will always be in my heart, just like ever "Underdog" (even if that was a long time ago).

I could further see myself immediately falling for a third alternative, if it was sexy/unique enough with drastically better UX, and I think that is not even too far fetched.

But there is the thing, GitHub is a platform, not (just) a tool. GitLab still managed to take ground - kudos! That would be the hard part.

> Web 1.0 "failed" because businesses couldn't make money on the internet.

In my opinion, "Web 1.0" was the only version that succeeded and it was all downhill from there. The push to monetize was the poison.

As soon as companies started to feel OK saying "data is the new oil" in public, I knew that it was all over.
> Note one other thing I have found is that postgres enums are less "portable" than plain text columns. For example, if you're using BigQuery to query postgres tables as an external connection, BQ doesn't support enums, so your external connection query has to cast any enum return values (e.g. some_enum_column::text) before returning them to BQ, which can be a pain if you want to do "SELECT * FROM ..." some table that returns enum columns.

Yeah, one has to write more adapter queries to add those casts to text (or from text, for DMLs), but it's OK, and ENUMs are just really nice. And as u/faangsticle says, use VIEWs for that.

What you've just showed me is effectively an actual ponzi scheme all built on nothing with no doubt there is artificial inflation going on there.
I legit believe that many people in these threads haven't learned that the Model Y is the best selling vehicle in North America during 2023-Q1 [1]. Not just best selling EV, or best selling crossover; best selling vehicle. It outsold the Corrola, at half the price.

This is not a situation of "oh Tesla will continue to do well, they'll sell cars" or "what's their moat? they're finished": They are #1. Dozens of competitors have hit the market over the past five years. They are outselling all of them, at substantially higher price points (fed tax credit has something to do with it versus gas cars for Q1 here, but it impacts all EVs reasonably equally).

If there's something on the horizon which will change that, I need that explained to me because I'm not seeing it. That Fords and GMs will also get supercharging? Anyone who says "the supercharger network significantly influences purchases toward Tesla" doesn't own an EV; armchair commentators. To some small degree; sure. But the biggest influence, bar none, is: "My friend has one." That's it. Few spend significant time driving a Mach-E and think "everything about this screams I need it". But that is a not a-typical experience for Tesla vehicles, because so much about it is so far ahead of traditional cars, and even modern competing EVs.

So much about it is also pretty far behind, like quality control. But that doesn't come through when you're driving a friend's perfectly functional car. And it certainly hasn't hurt Tesla up to this point.

I did this for about 2 years across the United States. If you’re employed, make sure your manager is supportive/already remote friendly.

Get good internet. I found Verizon to be the best for cellular and this was before Starlink Mobile was available. Get a directional cellular antenna and mount (not a repeater/amplifier) and learn how to point the antenna at towers if you plan to do any “boondocking” out in the west of the US. Otherwise, everywhere else these days likely has internet.

Compost Toilet is a win in my book. Very little maintenance and no nasty tanks to deal with. But, it’s not for everyone.

Decide if you need showers in your wheeled home or not. That drives the cost of your rig significantly. Most RVs are absolute trash for quality south of $50k.
If you had included any content or justification in your comment, it might have gone differently. "I don't like software written in Ruby" is not interesting to anyone. No polarization.
I would imagine that thin plastic is more resistant to permanent deformation than thin metal. Or, in other words, when then metal bends, it tends to stay bent. Thin plastic can more easily bend, but then restore to its original shape.

But I'm not a materials engineer. This is just in my lay experience of how thin materials I've encountered perform.
One area is its reusability story. Last I looked you couldn't create reusable actions in the same repo you want to call them from, they have to be in an external repo. For quite a while, private reusable actions were an Enterprise-only feature, but that may have been lifted now. The ability to reuse particular jobs is also missing, and communication among jobs is limited to variables after the fact. You can only use success or failure states to trigger other jobs, you can't pass values.
I am totally down for fat people losing weight in a sustainable way that leads to better health outcomes. I think fat people in general should strive to lose weight through diet, exercise, and non-harmful medical intervention where applicable. I'm merely arguing against the very specific point that fat people should just learn to be hungry all the time, like that's an acceptable standard to expect out of anybody.
You can excuse or justify it however you want. But it's still false and deceptive advertising to use "free" in situations like this.

To say some service is "Free" (for now) means you're paying something that isn't disclosed. Even if you're paying in time as beta-tester, you're still paying. And you're still paying in data.

Whereas, GitLab on-prem install is largely under MIT license, which is widely considered to be a very permissive license. I could see the FTC coming to similar agreement with that statement.

Seems really childish. The real challenge is to set up or transition to new platforms for hosting. Reddit has already been unprofitable for long enough that it is unlikely to endure. Especially with this all being about the need to have slick iPhone app access without paying for it.
Good for you. If you were the only macOS user, we could say macOS doesn't have this problem. But there are other macOS users who do have this problem, so we can't.

First off, congrats.

Second, have you guys had a chance to revise your hiring pipeline? When I spoke to your recruitment team a bit over a year ago they were asking for 8 straight hours on a zoom call as part of the software engineering interview. I had to drop out of the process because fitting that in was exceptionally difficult. (They did offer to split it into 5 and 3 but I still couldn't fit that in). They remarked they were looking to update that process a bit.

The above aside - I remember thinking everyone I spoke to there was pleasant and enjoyed working there. I was sad to have to drop out.

Best of luck moving forward.
Agreed 100%, and I hear Final Cut Pro has much better performance.

But realistically, a lot of work happens on Adobe or other (Autodesk, Houdini, etc...) products that also have their own issues.

How many interviews are you actually getting though? I'm not talking about recruiter phone screens.

Recently my phone-screen -> actual interview percentage has gone WAY down. It feels shady, like the recruiters _are_ now just fishing for information and not actually looking to hire.
Sure, and I'm saying that's pretty much a strawman.
Maybe this could be made to make sense, after a fashion.

Deuterated (D) water (heavy water) is apparently toxic if you get too much of it. I think the figure I heard was if it's over about 50% D2O in the D2O/H2O then it will kill you given enough time. D2O is still oxygen plus hydrogen so still qualifies as water, so I think it could be factually argued that pure water as D2O is fatal.

Can you expand on how poverty is a core functional mechanic of capitalism? That is not obvious to me. Capitalism would cease to function without poverty?

It seems to me more like capitalism just does not do anything to prevent poverty, since the system itself is blind to human needs.

I do think that inequality is fundamental to capitalism, and that if we added an equality constraint the system would definitely cease to function. But I don’t see how the same applies to poverty.

I also couldn't find sources to care to respond to him but I remember about some little terminal app which FOSS code was basically stolen by MS from the indie dev and then he was gaslighted about it.

I do have a love-hate relationship with MS, but I don't love the fact that they own 80% of my stack (Yes, I know, my choice) between TypeScript, VSCode, NPM, Github, etc..

Also on VSCodium, it only fixes the telemetry bullshit, the custom LSP Plugins that microsoft keeps for themselves or whatever are not available there. so If you want to use for example copilot or other -microsoft official- plugins you can't do so on VSCodium

Also let's add the whole Github Copilot WhiteWashing non-FOSS proprietary code into anyone to steal. Basically breaking the current status quo in favour of the megacorps that can steal it all and respect no licenses

In poking around with PlugShare in the Seattle area, I'm seeing Arco gas/convenience stores with chargers. "EV Connect" is what is marked on the map.

As a native speaker, your experience with the word "just" is not unique. Your direct perception of the word, perhaps because you have to consciously translate it, may be more unique!

But for native and non-native speakers alike, "just" acts as a dangerous semantic stop-sign. It's a command that's not even recognized as being a command, because it frames the discussion so that you have to argue for both the converse of the proposal and that the proposal is challenging for some reason that can't be obvious to the "just" user. It mis-primes even the speaker's train of thought to not to ask what would obvious follow-on questions.
We're in the process of switching from Atlassian to GitHub.
But I think we are still far from approaching the stable post-Moore state. Being post-Moore is forcing engineers into exploring wackier and wackier architectures to squeeze out what computing power they can within the physical limits. Post-Moore life demands that we use parallelism anywhere and everywhere we can. A high degree of parallelism often requires a large memory set. Put those things together, and you're intensely battling data movement latency and cache consistency and contention issues. A solution that has recently emerged: rather than have each (hardware) thread tied to a core that has to manage the movement and consistency of data from RAM into nearby caches and back, instead have the threads migrate to the data. [0] Naturally, a lot of work is needed on the compiler side of language design to support this well without burdening the programmer. I don't foresee these kinds of new hardware ideas stabilizing any time soon.

I don't think these products are directly comparable. I think Final Cut Pro probably maps better to Adobe Premiere Pro... But even then, it's not a complete overlap. There are things you can easily do in Premiere that you can't easily do in FCP, and vice-versa. In general, I find that Premiere is a bit more powerful/flexible than FCP, but FCP is much better software and does what it does much smoother and much faster.
