> This is all fine while the management is fine. As soon as the company or people change, it goes to shit.

HOAs are member voted, it is a thankless job and improving things is as simple as running for the board, every time someone has wanted to take over they have been welcomed on. The HOA there has been going strong for almost 25 years, doing a great job managing the place.

The HOA did indeed fire their previous management company for incompetence, since the complex is in a large metro area, there is no shortage of competition in that field.

Edit: Oh and it isn't like people I hire myself are super reliable! I've had vendors working on my house ghost me, sometimes in the middle of a job. And there is also the cost of my time in learning about different fields (e.g. yard irrigation), collecting multiple quotes, and trying to do background checks to ensure the people giving the quotes do good work.
Matter, Thread, and Memfault
Just read a Maddox (didn't know who they were) post and, boy, is it full of edginess and self confidence to mask that they don't have a good point.

Of course it's easy to rant and monologue. Dozens of TV presenters do it but sometimes it's very easy to find fault in their subjectively humorous generalizations.

Blowing in the wind, the first song that comes to mind, doesn't fit this at all.

A quick Spotify search through the most popular songs and I can't find any in 10-15 that fits that example soundbite he used, to extrapolate this "emperor's got no clothes" argument on bob Dylan.

I'm not particularly a fan of Dylan except a song here and there I like (looking at the list), but it just shows the style over substance and strength of argument.

To this, someone will call "don't be such a buzzkill, it's just a joke" and that's fine but then you've left the land of making valid points and into the self congratulatory "ironic" content.

I didn't miss the point, it seems, but you did miss mine.

Maybe people are using Slack in ways you don't expect? That's fine, surely.

Isn't a better solution to have per instance administrative controls? Default to allowing blocking but allow companies to disable that feature. Make it clear to users in the UI when this has been done so they can complain if it's not appropriate to disable it.

Right, this is “fun” right up until your car overheats.
Nah vs code is a multitool with both a hook blade (the knife younuse for carving out a bowl) And a chainsaw....

Slightly more unwieldy in that specific narrow use case than a plain hook knife but you don't need a second tool to cut the log you take the wood for the bowl from...

In other words, it's a tool that let's you do near anything with minimal modifications whereas vim is a tool that requires significant modification just to do Any task other than looking at it.
Copper facilities across the USA are past their design life. The cables themselves might be usable (if water intrusion has not happened, which is a big if), but the splice cases, splices and hardware on either end of the cable is often not doing well.

Frontier bought assets from Verizon knowing full well they were going to ride this infrastructure until it was worthless while investing as little as possible. It is no surprise the copper plant has rotted on the poles, they treated their copper and fiber plants like trash in nearly every part of their territory.

>Lancets are winning the war.

This is a laughable claim. Lancets are awesome weapons, cost effective, accurate, and productive. But they cannot win the war on their own in any sense. They require certain intelligence to use effectively, intelligence that Russia is getting less of than Ukraine through NATO. More artillery is being destroyed by other artillery than Lancets. They just aren't made in the quantity that 152mm shells are.

>Russia has swarms of drones that home in on RF sources.
Why do you state this and then immediately say you have seen zero evidence? You can't just release a swarm of RF seeking drones into the sky, you'll blow up all your own people and stuff too.

>Western weapons get less useful by the minute.
Could you provide ANYTHING to back up such an assertion.
They're pretty common. I had a sinus infection earlier this year that wouldn't go away and had to get some antibiotics. I picked up the RX from a local Walmart pharmacy (closer to where I live) and they use the same double-sided caps.

But again, it's like the other OP said: The childproof side is the one that they put on first which could present an issue for older people. I'd imagine you could ask them not to do that, though. I never really thought about it.
I guess this works if you don’t have immobilizers. In Canada they’re mandated, so the ECU is expecting some kind of digital signal from the key before turning on (but sometimes you can just shuck the rf chip inside they key and glue it in the right spot, or uncode it from the écu).

You don't need to vaporize lead to form lead oxide.

Hmm. If the can figure out how to make it so I can’t just tear their device out and hook up my own battery cable they might be on to something, but most new cars already come with sophisticated anti tampering measures.

At any rate, good for them. It will be a great learning experience at least.
Part of the problem is you can’t just convert an area to a pedestrian area as people still need to be able to get there. You need to construct low cost parking garages around the area so people can still get there.
So you are basically making a dead man's switch, it seems [0]. However, why should I send requests to you rather than you pinging me? It saves on your server costs, sure, but it can be more of a hassle for me as the developer when I just want to know if my service is up.

HR's job is to protect the company, not the employee, so I would not expect them to help except in cases of literal harassment (rather than, for example, people who reduce the S/N of a large channel). And even then, self-service tools that do not make you a target of further harassment are a foundation of public social networks. Why not private social networks too?

This is where I find myself agreeing with smarx007.

I appreciate your points and why one might want such things. I don't, however, think it's possible for the government to enforce a few minimal, overarching "rights" except over populations capable of self-governance. If something isn't possible, then there's little point in spending too much time thinking about it, (except theoretically). At worst, it can be a kind of "opiate of the masses", who can spin their wheels thinking about such things like "profit maximizing rational actors" and other myths, while the real power is controlled by those who practice realpolitik.

There is a real cure for the disease, but it involves creating enclaves of such populations. The early American settlers were such a population. Barring a new frontier and settler population capable of self-government, then we look back to the conditions that allow for culture to develop. Culture cannot develop without separation and boundaries.

Think of the culture of any organization. If you've ever been part of a growing corporation, you'll have experienced culture changes in person as the org becomes larger and larger. With more diverse personnel, the surface area of commonality becomes smaller and smaller. HR starts to take on more and more of a role in dictating the rules of the org. Disputes must be arbitrated by the corporate "government". Compare to how things were in the beginning, when much agreement could be assumed and people could generally "manage themselves".

The analogy, obviously, is to society and government. When people don't have the "moral law within," then we start to see all kinds of new rules to constrain a multifarious population that doesn't constrain itself. You can have a very diverse society with many rules, or a very homologous society with very few official rules (but many implied). You can't have both at the same time. The irony is that the effect of having many rules is that the individual people become all the same, because they have delegated their moral decision-making apparatus to the state. Morals are just an indirect way of saying Values. Values are what people think are better/good and worse/bad. So, basically, the State is deciding what is good/bad. Hence, the people running the State (those practicing realpolitik) decide what is good or bad.

In German, too, "kämpfen mit" could be either ("miteinander" and "zusammen" allowing to distinguish between the two if necessary) and other verbs denoting opposition like "streiten" or "hadern" are basically always used with "mit". So GP was a bit hasty in declaring that "mit" is not used for opposition.

Not dismissing your overall point (it's certainly easier to just combust something for heat) but it's not strictly true that you can't cool without electricity. There are techniques both modern and ancient that can help, though sadly most structures aren't built this way:

> Sure, let's intentionally omit locks from equipment that is designed not to fall into enemy hands.

Slow down there with the sarcasm and think about the actual requirements or use-cases first. Your average operable military vehicle is in one of three situations:

1. Actively occupied or guarded from theft by current owners/operators with guns who will not tolerate strangers getting close.

2. Parked somewhere in the middle of a whole bunch of people who are generally guarding the whole area, and those people may need to be able to operate it very quickly.

3. In some long-term storage which is well-fenced, under surveillance, guarded by people with guns, and typically very far from both overt enemies and opportunistic thieves.

So there's already an access control system tuned to a particular set of needs... and one of those needs includes "using it to escape from something dangerous even if the prior-driver and everything in their pockets got vaporized."

A quick search online shows that HFCs (refrigerants) are 2% of greenhouse gas emissions, which also accounts for them being thousands of time worse than CO2. Which is way higher than I expected, but still not exactly making-or-breaking climate change.

I really don't see the need to consume less energy if it comes from renewable or carbon-free generation. In general, energy is used for good and productive things. AC in particular lets humans live in climates that would otherwise not be used anywhere near to the extent they are without it.

Realistically with the world we live in, yes, reduction is helpful. But accountability to major producers of emissions is at minimum 100 times more helpful.
Not sure about the details of this particular grant, but with federal grants usually you don't get a million dollar check to develop your idea. The money is divided in phases each requiring a set of milestones to be completed, reviewed and approved for you to have access to more resources.

My guy, I believe the enemy already knows about our WWII-era "large truck" technology. It's fine.

You don't want either of those things in a widely used military vehicle. Soldiers do not need to die because they're fumbling and dropping keys under fire. They also don't need their truck dying in the middle of a maneuver because the kill switch accidentally went off.

Also, in war, trucks will be getting destroyed left and right. It'll literally be a rounding error.
Just because Russian cities aren't among the most dangerous in official records doesn't make them in any way safe. If nothing else, the complete lack of rule of law, with arbitrary detentions, should be enough of an indicator of an unsafe place.
Not XPath, but for folks interested in querying (rather than walking) syntax trees for arbitrary nodes, this is also a cool feature of tree-sitter[1]. It uses a scheme-like syntax, and it’s impressively efficient.

And in terms of XPath, for folks using a JS stack, fontoxpath[2] supports a DOM facade adapter interface which allows for querying any arbitrary tree-like structure, so it could certainly handle the same use case.

1 line barely acknowledging the criticism, 4 lines defending the car whose feelings I can assume have been mortally wounded. The defensiveness around the car is ironic given how casually you threw out your needlessly negative hot-take.
They also don't need FAANG-level competence. F500 companies would rather pay consultants and contractors truckloads of money than hire a few FTEs at FAANG rates. Ostensibly the reasoning is that it's easy to cut back spending on vendors than to lay people off, but I think a stronger reason is that tech salaries are so high that you'd have software engineers being paid more than some executives at these companies.
