Yeah, but the "everyday meaning" of AND is different too. Everyday meaning: you can have A and also B, but you don't have to; boolean logic: you have to have A and B, otherwise you don't have anything.

No, it is deliberate misinformation.

They deemed getting to the market fast was more important than hardware costs. If their architecture is good, then they were probably really quick and flexible using Python to glue their architecture together which would have been the development bottle neck to getting the service up and running. All the components of the service can be done by separate teams in whatever language they deem most effective.
First we need fiction to inspire or convince us. A James Cameron or Roland Emmerich movie.
I think that it is (a little bit) more subtle: the importance of quality OF A PRODUCT (projects delivery is another beast) is relative to:

- the customer: either B2B or B2C

- the market share: minimal (< 1%... including all startups) or dominant (> 30%)

- B2C is really dynamic and few bad versions/products can make the customers fly away (except when strong dominance - like Windows - or no equivalent product) and shutdown a company. Price can be a strong factor and cost of migration/switching is usually not considered

- B2B is more conservative: hard to enter the market (so small market shares will need a lot of time to take off... if there's no competitor) but once you're in, the cost of change for a company is usually high enough to tolerate more bad versions (and more if there's few competitors, and incompatibilities between products, and legal requirements to keep records, and a lot of "configuration", and requiring a strong training for a lot of people...). Companies as customer dont see the switch of software as a technical problem (replacing on editor by another one) but as a management problem (training, cost to switch, data availability, availability of people already trained, cost of multi-year/multi-instance licences...)
> They noted that a judge must approve any use of the provision, while the total duration of the surveillance cannot exceed six months.

So essentially this is like getting a warrant to install a bugging device. Just that nowadays everyone carries said bugging device in the form of a smartphone and this law allows a judge to authorise turning it on (assuming it is technically possible).
Also, YMMV, but I've found their staff are pretty helpful.

I once went in to buy their store-brand garden knife since I've had good luck with a bunch of their gardening stuff. As I pulled it off the shelf, an employee told me that their design had a big flaw and that lots of customers bring them back for returns. He told me I'd be better off with cheaper options from Amazon with a different design.
> She gives me shit and says I can't multitask

She's right, you can't multitask. Nobody can, really, at least without doing everything poorly. That includes her.
Just as the police aren't allowed to install a bugging device in the house of a suspect without judicial permission, they're not permitted to remotely surveil a suspect's phone without such permission either.

So your comparison of this limited additional capability to "allow police to enter anyone's home at any time" is not relevant. And trying to draw a parallel to "let the police shoot a fleeing suspect" is absurd.
They would have to be required, like take them or we will lock you out of the building/cut off network access at the end of the year. People are too worried about losing their jobs. That is why the whole unlimited vacation time scam is so popular. Now whether you take a vacation is completely on the employee's neck. Companies love this.
Yes but what you don’t see is the many many requests in the same tone that come into social media (and traditional media!) companies from corporations, celebrities, even regular old citizens who are mad their drunk driving arrest got reported (for example).

The idea that an imperious tone somehow proves a power imbalance is hilarious to anyone who has ever been on the receiving end of these requests from regular people. “I demand an answer right now” is what angry diners say when a restaurant runs of the special. It’s the tone that people adopt to imply power when they don’t actually have power, but want to seem like they do. Which is a common, and legal, mode of speaking in everyday life.

> I don't think it a issue with the language but more that you didn't find your people

I can be more specific: I'm identifying problems with the language ecosystem.

I deliberately didn't shit on the people involved; I'll definitely ride the #not-all-php-programmers (I've met some great ones), but it takes a broken mind to accept a toolchain this historically fallible as something with which you'd want to recreate the Java ecosystem. ;-)

Have you tried Java?

It's definitely a better Java than PHP!
They could at least have the decency to just secretly do it and then pretend like they aren't, like our government does. This is why physical switches and removable batteries are the only way forward.
It'd be worth your time before you get too deep. The two issues that I ran into:

* CORS issues -- deploying on some sites (esp. gitlab and github pages) runs into issues because of shared buffer requests.

* Assuming you get past the CORS issues, there is still extremely slow load on OSX Chrome -- the app eventually loads, but holy smokes it takes forever.

Both of those nearly made me give up on Godot, but I'm very happy to stay with 3.5.x until those get resolved.

I live in Miami, where the hospitality industry dominates the employment landscape. Jobs are being taken left and right....but for very little pay and even poorer working conditions.

There is some tech but comparatively very little when stacked against any other growing major metro area, and those that are here aren't hiring locally, they're just companies relocating here for tax purposes and bringing existing workers with them.
If "secular governance" includes mega corporations I'd fully agree.

Social media is just the latest of them. For example, relatively traditional companies like credit card companies have disproportionate power in deciding whether transactions are allowed or not, regardless whether they're legal. Often they refuse to process transactions for industries apparently out of "moral" reasons.

Governments are actually becoming less influential because laws don't reach beyond their borders. Yet multinational companies often have monopolistic power and influence over many important aspects of people's lives.
Raw tables are "easier than any markdown" only if you don't mind it looking completely different.

My favorite simple tables look like:

| are | easier | than |
| any | markdown | flavor |

Granted, I don't know of any that allow colspan/rowspan well. And even fewer that support newlines in a cell. Styling can also be annoying. But simple tables are surprisingly annoying in most any of these options.

(I should say that I fully agree with you, btw.)
I do think it conveys something important about policing in the USA as a vibe, though I agree it's polarizing. In a similar sort of way to "defund the police" -- very catchy slogan which contains a bunch of nuance that's mostly not addressed by opponents.

As you say, I think a lot of cops do get into it for basically-good reasons, but the (hopefully-small) number who're in it for the power trip or who become dirty over time are fundamentally corruptive to the organization when combined with the "thin blue line" sentiment. If you can't trust any cop to help when you're victimized by another cop, "a few bad apples" will have spoiled the bunch.

Of course, I'll admit that much like "defund the police", it's kind of an umbrella term that gathers a few different views together, and you can't tell whether the person saying it holds the view I expressed above (which I think is the most mainstream position), or whether they think that policing is inherently corruptive and should be removed from society somehow.

I'm curious how much of that is accurate, versus "sour grapes" in other areas.

It's not always sour grapes. Many in the mid-west and mountain-west are no longer able to stay in the houses that they or family members built due to being on fixed incomes retirement + social security, etc... Even if the home is paid off the property taxes are climbing exponentially. For people not on a fixed income it may be some sour grapes for now until such a time they are on a fixed income and then they may not be able to afford the property taxes.

This is even occurring with millionaires believe it or not. An example would be Jackson Hole, WY not far from me. The millionaires are complaining that the billionaires are pushing them out. The millionaires then move further away driving the property taxes up in their destination. It seems to be a cascade effect of sorts. Perhaps there is a better name for it.
That's not a principle. That's just a random thing that people thought back in the 80s and 90s because of some clever little comment in a spec, that sounded correct at the time but proved absolutely ruinous in the decades since.

Systems that are liberal in what they accept are paradoxically harder to develop against, undermine standards and encourage incorrect, fragile implementations. Query parameters are a classic. In practice, unrecognized query parameters almost always represent a bug in the client. Better to find out immediately with a 400.

I don’t try to listen to every podcast.

Instead, sometimes you come across short articles or snippets of videos or snippets of audio, where a podcast is mentioned. Or someone might link you to a specific timestamp in an episode.

And that’s how you discover one or two podcasts that you really really like, and you decide to listen to more episodes from those podcasts.
Netgear do some half decent fully managed switches. It’s not all blue crap off Amazon.

> Any free speech purist would do well to remember what their legal recourse would be if somebody made elaborate false-allegations about you that harmed your career and marriage

This is a total straw man. Free speech absolutists almost universally acknowledge that fraud, defamation, libel, and narrowly defined incitement are special cases that don't qualify for protection.

With respect to "disinformation", I would challenge you to come up with a strict definition and a framework for applying that designation and see how you might feel about giving that tool to your political opponents.
Dendron is no longer developed, and in any case is intended for a very different use case than Evernote.

Even if it is, why do we need to keep hearing about it? Oh yeah, this kind of news drives clicks. It creates fear and “climate anxiety” which drives more clicks. As citizens there is little we can or will do to fix this. It’s down to politicians agreeing on a strategy globally. With high inflation, and the rising cost of living, citizens have plenty of more pressing things to worry about without the media piling on more misery.

To follow this tangent all the way down the rabbit hole, the 'Definite Oral History of Buzzfeed News 2012-2023' is worth a read:

You've built up your very own strawman, and are arguing with it. ACAB is not "deeply connected" to defunding the police. And it's not also a solution to a problem: it's an opinion, a observation of facts. All cops are bastards, whether they're the young, new recruit that joins and inevitably ends up covering for the gang actions of others, the cops that have an itchy trigger finger the moment the person they're talking to is anywhere beyond #FFFFFF, or the captains that turn a blind eye to actions.

First off: this is not about America. Read the title, and stop being self centered for a moment. If you think France hasn't been saying ACAB for decades now, you're sorely mistaken. You know what my experiences are with the police, as a regular white dude ? Not what I see on TV, what I have lived. It's them not intervening when a neighbour in the middle of a psychotic episode stabs a passerby. It's them refusing to take in a deposition for sexual assault. It's them checking my arabic friends for drugs, but leaving me alone when I'm hanging out with them.

So, if you want more nuance: ACAB, and defund _this_ police. A few bad apples spoil the whole bunch, well the basket is rotting at this point.
Governments regularly have a steady flow of zero days to use, but once it's used it's "burned" so it's not something they throw around willy nilly. I would guess they are going to force manufacturers to play ball, and I would gues that the manufacturers will.

We're clearly not going to get our shit together, things are going to start getting obviously out of control (i.e. impossible for even the most ardent coal eater to brush off as "The weather fluctuates sometimes") and governments will reach for the most knee-jerk fix available.

Then we'll really do ourselves in when suddenly we have a "fix" for CO2 emissions and we can all go back to burning oil.

I mean, you say "companies" but really you mean "people" because people run companies. You can't, or shouldn't, abstract away the people ultimately making decisions if you're trying to reason about this stuff.

And people can make decisions, even the ones who run companies, to balance profits with contributing to a greater good. But they choose not to.

So the people who are running these companies are choosing to prioritize profits at all costs. Some of this is because the people who operate the financial markets tell them they will be punished if they don't, but obviously there's also some agency on the part of the company leadership as well.
This is a fantastic article with some facts I didn’t know. I hadn’t thought about how the self-closing tag is effectively nothing more than a stylistic choice.

That said, it failed to persuade me. I’d still favour the self-closing style in any style guide. At least now it would be a more informed (and better scoped) preference.

Considering two style guides:

- <tag> is an opening tag
- </tag> is a closing tag
- <tag /> is a self-closing tag
Note: it remains the responsibility of the author to know which tags are self-closing.

Seems more useful than:

- <tag> is an opening tag or a self-closing tag
- </tag> is a closing tag

Admittedly, it’s subjective. That’s why any consistent guide is better than none.
Yes, disinformation is not free speech. Misinformation can be allowed, however amplification of it cannot.

I think my biggest pet peeve with this line of thinking is that it's not a reform slogan and it's not productive. If someone actually thinks that, then where do you go from there.
That VC deserves to be named.
I've always hated the phrase 'ACAB', and I say this as someone whose username is Emma Goldman.

It's the institution, and its functional role in society, that's the structural problem. There are many well-intentioned, conscientious individuals in the police force. It is somewhat similar to the question of the attribution of moral blame for unjust wars. It is almost universally recognized that unjust wars are the fault of the aggressor country's leadership, and not the fault of the soldiers who fight them. Those soldiers tend to be poor, subject to indoctrination, and are often simply trying to dutifully help their country. In the same way that I don't think we should try and prosecute every Russian soldier fighting in Ukraine, or every American soldier to fight in Iraq, as war criminals - except for where they violate jus in bello - I don't think we should charge all police with responsibility for the injustices of the institution for which they work. Going back to where I began, Emma Goldman, one of the things I always found most powerful in the anarchist tradition is their belief in the basic goodness of most ordinary people - even when they are caught up in a fundamentally obscene system. I think I find the phrase ACAB grating for precisely that reason.
Are you sure it can't export c# to web? I would have assumed that as true but Godot's documentation does not list that as a limitation, and in fact offers c# code on how to use the JavaScript interop, something that would be pretty meaningless without support.

> It’s not so cut and dry, because believers in free speech can believe that the federal government and its employees should also be free to speak.

If the speech the government officials are engaging in is a demand to censor the political speech of citizens, then we are looking at a violation of the First Amendment.

Nobody is saying that government officials can't engage in other kinds of speech that don't violate the Bill of Rights.
I would have a lot more free time? I don’t understand the question. If I didn’t work at all but lived off of passive income due to an inheritance or investments, I would have even more free time.

I could probably live to the same standards of living as a medieval peasant working only 90 (potentially less) days a year for a significant pay cut of what I make currently. A wood stove, no electricity or running water, an outhouse, etc. the tent I could afford today to camp in would be luxurious compared to a peasant’s home.
