> Let's first figure out what it means to work with whitespace properly

We know how. Using structure beyond a line of text. The problem with that is then your shell and all the command you run through it need to agree on that structure and implement it.

PowerShell works this way, though has a few of its own gotchas (mangling binary data if you aren't careful being one of them). A couple of shells for unix-a-like systems do to, but it falls apart when you start calling de-facto standard tools that are not retro-fitted to support accepting and outputting that structure.

Once you have decided on the “proper way” you'll find that was the easy part and getting that way implemented in enough places that it is useful to be a somewhat Sisyphean task.

IMO the only way to do spaces in filenames properly without an impractically radical change to all your tooling, is to consider spaces in filenames to be a bug. But good luck getting the world to accept that!

yes, I successfully predicted all of the above

from June 24th 2016: a hard exit with a fudge on the NI border was the only path that kept the tory party in one piece

and the tory party has always prioritised that over everything else

remember: it's the only reason they called a referendum in the first place

the only way it would have gone differently would have been if Labour had a leader other than Corbyn

having him as the opposition guaranteed it would happen

(because Middle England hated the idea of Corbyn in power more than they hated brexit)
the concept of "this idea is mine, hence not yours" cannot die soon enough.
I've run into the same thing for large dev images, but using pure rust often means that musl allows for a single executable and a config file in a from scratch container for deployment. In cases where a slab or bump allocator are used, musl's deficiencies seem minimized.

That means duplication of musl in lots of containers, but when they are all less than 10MB its less of an issue. Linking against gnu libraries might get the same executable down to less than 2MB but you'll add that back and more for even the tiniest gnu nase images.
…. And that’s the entire world is in this state. Stop trying to create victims out of people for no reason.

Non-technical = not technical = does not have technical expertise.

Seems pretty logical to me
Presumably you spent 12 years or more as a full time student. And that resulted in the life you have now.

If “passive” watching stresses you out maybe try this: take notes, think about how to explain the one or two main concepts to your kids (or wife).

Presumably: your kids are students now: it’s chance to demonstrate that you value learning in your own life (not just on their report card).
It is by reputation very online, very judgy, and very left, so its pronouncements are perceived as cliquish and insubstantial. That's probably the case; it's probably a mistake to just go click around that site and draw conclusions according to what it says. But it is also a useful link aggregator, so when it claims something, like "this person earnestly believes that the Earth isn't round and that there is not an atmosphere but instead an atmosflat", it's worth checking the links to make sure that isn't clearly the case. Oftentimes it is.
Been almost solely a remote software engineer for ~5 years.

The last couple of offices I've seen just have terrible equipment. This of course could just be my own anecdotal coincidental experience or just me being picky, but I do wonder if it's actually, at least in part, due to companies just not giving two sh*ts about equipment because fewer and fewer workers are actually going into the office.

If that hypothesis is true, then it's a really vicious and rapid positive feedback doom-spiral: worse equipment -> fewer on-site workers -> less motivation for better equipment -> even worse equipment -> even fewer on-site -workers...

...repeat ad nauseam.

Also, slightly tin-foil-hat-like (however I bet many will relate), but in the country I'm currently living in (UK), the government sold off all of the transport services to private soulless demons and political cronies, causing a runaway price surge that means a yearly pass for one ~30 minute route is >£5,000 (around $6,000?).

So, yeah, each on-site for me equals getting scammed by profiteering demons, having my back eviscerated by the knock-off-of-a-knock-off of a Herman Miller that has foam crushed into a slab of diamond, spending 30 minutes finding a HDMI/whatever cable, and of course losing 1-2 hours of my life to transport there and back.

Nah.

EDIT: What would make on-site a viable possibility for me would just be: Nicer transport (e.g. >70% chance of seat, instead of 1E-300% chance at the moment), cheaper transport, and better equipment.

EDIT2: I forgot biggest on-site downside of them all: bad tea and coffee :P
I'm sure that it can be configured that way. But they won't give me the keys to set up custom filters. I've got contacts that realize that I'm not a moron, and I would never touch defaults in production, but I can't even get a playground where I can do EVERYTHING to figure out where the problems might be.

And if a guy who has their own IT staff telling them it can't/won't happen, despite actual onsite EPIC staff saying it's entirely possible, you see why. When you tell users to go away, and tell interested users that they can't share their improvements, not even privately, you are doing a disservice and you owe me at the least an explanation of why doing it is bad. Maybe there's a good reason that I should be allowed to mess my own system up but not let anyone else enjoy it that way, but I struggle to understand why. The whole thing can be re-imaged if I screw up too badly, after all.
Not really sure what you're getting at, teratogenicity only matters if a person is pregnant and lack of teratogenicity is in no way a requirement for FDA approval.

There are many commonly used drugs with teratogenic risks that we discontinue in pregnancy or counsel the patient on, picking randomly from a list of medications that were approved in 2023: sparsentan

I'm not sure if I'm missing something but why are you thinking teratogenicity matters when the vast majority of patients are not pregnant at a given moment?

>How many such modest houses in your modest neighborhood are available now?

In my zipcode +/- 10% of my home value... 30 or so....

>How much has the housing supply in your town grown, and how much has the population grown?

No idea on supply... We average about 1% population growth per year. Slight decrease during the pandemic, slight increase in the last couple of years.

In the same zip code there are 18 New Construction properties for sale, all 2 - 3x my home price. Which would not include the homes being built for buyers under contract.
really on linux you would be better off having a primary amd or intel gpu and then a secondary nvidia gpu just for compute/cuda tasks. But alas, many new am5 motherboards don't even have a secondary 16x pci-e slot capable of even pcie-4 4x bandwidth anymore. I guess we should thank this cloud compute craze for that...
The Artifact news reader app on iOS uses this premise to provide one of the truly useful implementations of LLMs I've seen in the wild so far. You can mark a title as clickbait, and the app will use AI to generate a new title, usually one that is more usefully descriptive.

It's not perfect, sometimes the generated title is still totally clickbait and I've seen a couple instances of it being completely wrong or hallucinating a detail. But generally it's pretty neat.

The app also uses the same tech to summarize articles into a few bullets which I don't use as often but is also neat.
By objective standards, it isn't worse. Unfortunately, people don't care about objective standards, once they're not hungry cold and in pain they mostly derive their happiness from how well off they are compared to other people they encounter. By that metric more are worse off now.

You went through the trouble to write a substantive comment but sabotaged yourself with the swipe you used to introduce it.
It's true that if all the code works well, is tested and all the features are supposed to stay the way they were when the code was written, then, any developer can maintain any amount of code, there is just nothing to do.

The problem arises when there is a change in what we want the code to do. Changing a feature that is implemented over three codebases in three different languages is definitely much more work than updating something that was written in SQLPage, for instance.
Choosing a Discount Rate
I’m not sure what to say here. ... Yes? If you’re referring to the Oracle behaviour where '' IS NULL, well, the rude way of putting it is that Oracle is doing a stupid. The more polite way of putting it is that Oracle is absolutely ancient and these parts probably existed long before people had the theory developed well enough to recognize which things make sense and which don’t, and now Oracle’s backward-compat-driven livelihood depends on not recognizing that it’s making no sense there. Either way, if this matters to you, you’re stuck and will have to work around this particular wart.
Makes sense. The PS4 came out in 2013/4, and in 2016 Sony restructured their games division, and it's now managed in the US.
My opinion is speculative and not well-informed, but if I had to guess I would say 1) our governments are more or less defacto oligarchies (or at least the politicians are generally on the upper end of the economic spectrum), and 2) because of many social factors this seems to be a real uphill climb, so I can actually sympathize with politicians who on one hand have maybe a vague sense that they won't suffer the worst effects of climate change and on the other don't necessarily have a clear or great path to produce the needed changes.
Europe has 'suburbs' that are not suburbia. The idea that everybody would be forced to live in a mega city that is just a single skyscraper is just suberia imagination of what the world be like if not 90% of the land was zoned single family.
GDP per capita is $80K in the US.

I suspect this includes people of all ages, so if we distribute this only to working age, that’s probably close to $100K (six figures)

Pedantically, you actually want GNI, not GDP, here. (But they are close enough in practice for the US–and identical on a worldwide basis since there is no foreign income—that it doesn’t materially change anything else in your comment.)
This is part of my...curiosity.

They didn't have a theory to drive them to doggedly pursue this system as an SC. Was it just the blip 20 years ago? Why wouldn't you wonder if your machine was shitty?

If I was them, its decades past believing this might be an empty rabbit hole. You're committed. If it's real, it's heroic. If not? It's a failure of rationality. But it's both simultaneously.

If they're right, I'm sure every notebook will be published. If not? We'll never see their fury or process.
(Context: Northern Europe)

Switching jobs is quite hard as an (engineering) manager, at least if you're a bit introverted like me. Often you depend on the number of people who trust you from their experience working with you that have switched companies and have come into a trusted position there.

My career:

ages 20-30: Individual contributor.

ages 30-45: (Engineering) manager, running product development teams of varying sizes (up to about 50 people), being all over the architecture/system design. Not really coding in a focused way.

ages 45-now: Individual contributor, coding most of the time.

I was really concerned I wouldn't be able to keep the interest in actual coding all day long when I went back to that, but lo and behold, I'm actually finding it more fun and rewarding than the management roles. Stress is down too.

You too can recover from being a manager :).
Except that with machines doing more of the on the job labor at the same time that women are entering the work force en-mass, there was more competition for fewer jobs which depressed wages.

No. The faceless people who wrote the crap rules are doing that. Blaming people who use the system to their advantage doesn't fix the system.

This is the biggest problem. It's an even bigger problem in the US.

The issue is lack of education. There's a reason repub voters are generally not college educated.

The answer is also education, with the caveat you can't educate people who don't want to be educated because they are already too far down a rabbit hole.

Probably as a result of where I grew up (rural southeastern US, 20 miles from the closest population center over 1k people). But I have never considered dandelions to be weeds. Just another interesting plant in the multitude of grasses that made up our 3 acre front yard.

Clover, dandelions, crabgrass, dallisgrass, etc were just part of our yard. We also used it often as grazing for the horses as an alternative to spending hours mowing every few weeks. So any attempt as species control would have been undone by the horse manure anyways.
And yet it was the broad people in Germany who successfully destroyed nuclear power.

I think you are talking about a different use case to the parent.

You seem to be talking about authorising businesses to take money from my account without needing further approval. A direct debit.

Parent is talking about transferring money to someone else's account, which is easy and requires no secrets or authorisation.

I wasn't asking about a reddit thread, I was asking about your experience since you indicated it happened to you. If you don't want to share thats fine I was just curious as quite a few commenters on the thread seem to think that verifying your membership by asking for your card is "being treated like a criminal." I was trying to take other instances into account.

I don't really know how many times you would have to shop at Costco to not know to have your card out. I can understand peoples first time or forgetting but you have to be very oblivious to not notice the process that is happening with the person in front of you and have it ready. This is akin to people waiting in line at a restaurant then getting to the counter and not knowing what they want.

If you went to the link I referenced you would see in the reviews that people were leaving on the Costco site that this was their experience with the gift cards.

>one time use
>> Nope. Have used a single card 3x.

Right, because your current membership is still active. Again, if you read the Costco link I referenced the people attempting to use the card were not members and gifted the Costco cards. This will be the scenario you run into when your membership expires.

>>Also gift cards are highly regulated in my state, what you're describing is illegal

Great, then apply your personal knowledge to where you live, clearly its not the same everywhere.

>they check the member that gave you the card
>> No idea what you're talking about. Been doing this for three months.

Again because your membership is still active and you are the one that purchased them.
> why someone would use it other than for the geek factor.

FWIW I (eventually) moved to rsync.net from BB because of that time BB put some JS on their web interface that sent... was it filenames to Facebook? Something like that. I'm using Restic so it was completely painless.

Completely wrong.
I broke my toe just before flying from Portugal to London. I had crutches and was given a wheelchair in the airport. I technically could have walked, it just would have been extremely painful. When the staff at Luton told me that it'd be an hour before the passenger lift was ready, I decided "fuck it" and that I would walk down the stairs instead. One of the other passengers accused me of faking the whole thing, but I can assure you that I was not.
Sorry. When posting before, I couldn't remember the term/source for the 'hysterectomy' comment.

It stems from the "TERF" camp, "trans-exclusionary radical feminist".

One of their arguments is that if a person doesn't have a 'uterus' then it isn't a woman. Or even if they don't 'menstruate' then they are not women.

Which kind of begs the question, what about women that have had hysterectomies', or are older. The really radical side feminist seem to ignore that their arguments also leave out a lot of traditional 'women'.

This was my reason for the response to original poster. Their tone seemed to indicate a similar line of reasoning.

No, I think there is always something you can improve or add. The point, I think, is to do it carefully, though, without breaking things. Python is an example of how not to approach software evolution. Emacs and Clojure are examples of how software can be maintained over the long term without breaking backwards compatibility.

When I was young (and, ahem, stupid), I didn't care — I was all gung-ho, shoot from the hip, and if something breaks, tough. As I matured, I learned that backwards compatibility and long-term maintenance should be valued and cherished. Not just because if you're not careful, you have to fix the things that break, but also because as you start doing more and more things in your life, you have less time for each thing and you'd rather move forward rather than spend time fixing things that break.
They didn't have it neither in Demolotion Man, and it worked great!
You imagine and infer but do you have direct evidence? The only place I've heard that argument is right-wing propaganda (i.e., not direct evidence), though I don't have enough experience or direct evidence myself to rule it out.

> Saying gays should die is taboo in most of the country but not inside most islamic religious gatherings.

Again, any direct evidence? I'm pretty sure that is false. Note the Christian scripture and some leaders say similar things, but the vast majority of Christians do not.

There's a big gap in these trends between SF & everywhere else.
- For companies in SF, rents are extremely high, local salaries are super high and the city is in bad shape so nobody wants to go there.
- In most other places rents are affordable, local and remote salaries are similar, and cities are pleasant

SF office space is going to get crushed. Most other places will partially recover.
This is an article of faith on your part. None of the immigrants are relocating directly because of climate changes, and a minority are moving because they are refugees from an active war zone. Many are fighting age men, adventurers and opportunists.

Refugee laws were written a hundred years ago when there were frequent wars in Europe that would displace non-combattent women and children. They didn't have much option to go far beyond a neighbouring country and would likely go back home after the war was over.

Our current system of laws requires us to host any refugee or immigrant from anywhere in the world on a permanent basis.

There is no way this is sustainable economically, and much less so culturally.

The government could fix this instantly, but they choose not to.
