Nicely done, congrats. A really good reference, and the style and flow is very nice.

Re: all the mentions of Sci-Hub, I assume the organization intends to keep a professional image and avoid legal trouble, so they won't just come out and say "just pirate it". Plenty of institutions consider the use of Sci-Hub as misconduct. (I'm just presenting the stance, not defending it, if not clear.)
For me I'm the exact opposite.

Didn't mind working in the office, it was nice enough, coworkers are all friendly.

But having to live anywhere near my office in a high COL area means I was priced out of affording even a 500 square foot apartment. Going remote meant that same salary bought me a newly built detached 6 bedroom house.

I didn't mind the office, I minded being a poor renter instead of upper middle class. Office inconveniences pale in comparison.
Of course they can and they do. But the point is that across the board, healthy societies are those that don't have to "introduce exercise" to their lives. (Mild) exercise is baked into their lifestyle as a byproduct of how they've organized their social lives and especially their built environments.

A public health solution that has "Step 1: Assume people have the time, energy, and discipline to introduce exercise into their daily lives" is not going to work. It really is that simple - that's not how any healthy society works.

FWIW I do think you're sharing good advice and it would solve a lot of problems if people listened to it, but the reality is this advice has been around forever. It doesn't actually make a dent where people need it most: default sedentary, car-ridden, non-health conscious parts of the country.
Lifting out some excerpts for visibility and/or the folks who dislike PDFs:

____

Initial start:

> On January 17, 2023, the government applied for, and
obtained, a search warrant that directed Twitter to produce data
and records related to the "@realDonaldTrump" Twitter
account. At the same time, the government applied for, and
obtained, a nondisclosure order, which prohibited Twitter from
disclosing the existence or contents of the search warrant to any
person.

> Based on ex parte affidavits, the district court found
probable cause to search the Twitter account for evidence of
criminal offenses. Moreover, the district court found that there
were "reasonable grounds to believe" that disclosing the
warrant to former President Trump "would seriously
jeopardize the ongoing investigation" by giving him "an
opportunity to destroy evidence, change patterns of behavior, [or] notify confederates."

____

Twitter refuses:

> The warrant required Twitter to tum over all requested
information by January 27, 2023. The nondisclosure order was
to remain in effect for 180 days after its issuance.

> On February 1, 2023 - four days after the compliance
deadline - Twitter objected to producing any of the account
information. Although the company did not question the
validity of the search warrant, it asserted that the nondisclosure
order was facially invalid under the First Amendment. Twitter
informed the government that it would not comply with the
warrant until the district court assessed the legality of the
nondisclosure order.

> [...] The company asserted that compliance with the
warrant before resolution of the motion to vacate or modify the
nondisclosure order would preclude the former President from
asserting executive privilege to shield communications made
using his Twitter account.

_______

Twitter (pretends?) to accede and then, still misses the new deadline and gets the fine they knew was coming:

> [On Feb 7] When the court asked Twitter' s counsel whether
the company could produce the required materials by [5:00 p.m.
that evening, counsel answered: "I believe we are prepared to
do that. Yes, Your Honor."

> The court also asked the government what sanctions it would request if Twitter failed to comply. [...] $50,000 per day, to double
every day [...] Twitter did not object to the sanctions formula.

> Twitter missed the 5:00 p.m. deadline. Although Twitter
timely produced some records, its production was incomplete. [...] Twitter completed its production at 8:06 p.m. on February 9, 2023.
> I think I've bought all the Mastertronic games available

I definitely recall being on the talk committee one year for DjangoCon, and there was some rough discussion. (Context: The conference was generally a two track conference but keynotes and a few other sessions were single track). One of the single track talks was about Postgres. The discussion was roughly "If we have a Postgres talk we should have another talk like Mongo or MySQL" and the response was roughly "Everyone in Django is using Postgres and if you're not you should be at the talk to learn why you should".

Way more Rails apps used MySQL or other databases, it was largely Heroku winning Rails that led to the strong adoption amongst that community.

I have no experience with the BBB's accreditation process. I have read the same stories you have and it sounds like a textbook protection racket.

I can say that every business that's tried to cheat me has prominently displayed an A+ rating. I've tried to report malfeasance to the BBB, with police reports, and been completely blown off.
I’m writing an app that relies on four different servers.

I’ve written 3 of them.

We’re unlikely to self-host, but we’ll almost certainly be doing some kind of cloud service for them.

Thankfully, the scale is minuscule, compared to what a lot of folks, hereabouts, are used to.

Psychotropic pharmaceutical drugs are mind-altering substances. They place people in an "altered state of consciousness". Does this sound familiar.

When my cousin was allegedly afflicted by "chronic major depression", and he was prescribed Prozac, his mother commented "it's like I have my Joey back!" because his mood had lifted and he was acting very differently, different from his behavior in the past year or so, perhaps more like he was as a small child. His Mom always referred to them as Happy Pills. This was the regime when she would remind him to take his dose in the morning. "Take your Happy Pills."

Of course this behavior was mostly because he had been seeing a therapist and was getting some positive attention and reassurance. The SSRI drug soon triggered progressively more intense outbursts of rage and irrational behavior, and it would not be discovered for 5 years that he actually had a more serious mental illness, and the diagnosis and administration of SSRIs had been hasty and improper, exacerbating his condition.
Ah, looks like psql seems to have switched to actually using minor and major versions properly during the last two years - I remember the dance from the 9.x versions and postgres-upgrade [1].

In any case it's way more straightforward with mysql.

My office was in an academic building, right on a hallway. Keeping the door open would have meant letting all the bustle and noise of students changing classes in to interrupt me frequently, not to mention significantly increasing the number of confused students who would try to walk in thinking my office was a classroom.

Frankly, I consider the expectation of constant availability to be another abusive part of work culture, very closely related to the "everyone must return to the office so I can see for myself that they are in their seats (which means they must be working)" mindset. Let people keep their doors closed to promote focus.
Interac is a great example of the opposite. The government of Canada had to strong arm the financial sector to create a non profit third party to allow zero cost transfers and a robust debit payment system. The banks have been lobbying to dramatically increase interchange and transaction fees on Interac payments for years to allow for an expansion in lucrative 'premium' credit card processing fees.

Competition did nothing to stop industry alignment against consumer interests.
Why is the article saying this was unexpected?

Surely slamming an asteroid with a fast moving mass (or explosive weaponry, etc) is expected to knock chunks off it?

That has to be the most logical, obvious-as-all-hell result yeah?
I once tried a Refine tutorial made by the Refine team, hosted on their website, when it was suggested as an alternative dashboard maker to Retool. I ended up being confused even more, so I went back to Retool.

I'm a noob. Retool can be used by a noob. Your tool can't, so it's not a Retool. That's just the bitter truth.
Good catch, looks like a mixup somewhere in the writing/editing/publishing pipeline. The correct examples are given in the user guide [1], and I'll see if we can get the post updated accordingly. Thank you!

For a man who asks so much of someone, as is typical of this kind of person, he himself is unremarkable. Founding Thawte isn't a particularly impressive technical feat. Then he became a VC which is even less impressive.

There is no respected engineering leader who would look at this moron as inspiration for anything other than jumping out of a building. I can't believe someone who has no actual technical chops, no listed formal education, etc can be such a chode. Especially one infamous for the Ubuntu Unity scandal.

He's like a less important Elon Musk. Musk is a moron, but this guy takes the entire cake.

35TiB on Hetzner or Amazon isn't exactly going to be cheap, but regardless of that, even if you don't give up your local server, I'd still ask what your off-site backup situation is. Two friend's houses got broken into (different cities) and had their shit stolen, and another had their stuff destroyed in a fire, so at some point, I added cloud storage for off-site backup into my strategy.
The Anti-California: How Montana performed a housing miracle
ha-ha, brother, I feel you. Infra engineer (VP last position) and built an app with Refine. I was exactly in your position not a long time ago. I tried to choose "The Best Framework Ever" and made a lot of mistakes, and at the end, if you don't know frontend go with the flow: React + Next.js. Not because they are Best Ever, but because the majority of content online is dedicated to these frameworks. StackOverflow, ChatGPT, a friend who speaks frontend, etc.

I did some work as part of my consultancy, had data left and decided to try my hands at frontend. Oh, boy, I think it was a mistake, but it was a lot of fun, will do again.

Title over-promises on Amazon action. They actually just patched some books that were called out on Twitter by a relatively famous author. Lesser authors still have their names misused on Amazon with no 'course change' by Amazon in sight?
for example: https://soundcloud.com/djoutcold/snoop-dogg-gps

I think it was a Garmin that had this feature, but it may have been a TomTom, i haven't used a separate GPS unit since two got stolen. My new used car has built in GPS, so 100% of my desire to have a stand-alone GPS has vanished.
Nah, it's not, you only think that, jkr_fan, because you evidently agree with her given how you created your account to post apologetics for her. That podcast couldn't be more skewed towards Rowling if it tried. And yes, I have already listened to it and it was an utter waste of seven hours because, no, it's not some great exploration... it's a podcast that ultimately frames JKR as a victim of a witch hunt, the clue is in the name, which is so eminently false. I have to agree with what Wynn said about it. I urge you to actually watch her video, the link in my last comment is timestamped.
That thousand acres is next to a medium-sized town (Lahaina) that is the major hub of all the western island's resorts and the major road into and out of the touristy northwestern part of the island.
Instead of a miracle, Montana just legalized building more housing. Any state can do it.
It was a rhetorical question, which makes it a statement. And that someone would even ask it speaks volumes about their beliefs.
I work for a multinational company. I have lost count how many times we have received instructions to move Israel from Europe to Middle East, back and forth, again and again, in the list if countries the company have presence in (it is categorized by different regions). Very sensitive apparently, if a company have business in Arab countries also. Would not surprise me if similar reasons are behind this.

Another similar topic is how to label Taiwan. If you write a heading "Choose country" and then a list that includes both China and Taiwan, you will get a P1 incident on your hands. You need to write something different than country.

Yeah... I'm very worried you'd get blown out to sea. Paddling in high winds like that isn't really going to work and with winds come swells. You'll be in poor visibility due to smoke and a small craft is hard to see as it is. On top of that, emergency services will be busy. It might be a long time before anybody notices you've been at sea for days and little chance of being found.
To see this many aggressive offers over an extension with ~300k users, it makes you wonder how intense the offers are for the likes that reach in the millions.

The incentives seem entirely misaligned in the extension space.

I not being worked up about your opinion, you are entitled to. What I am saying that it should not be advertised as a real thing, as a brand new C64. As simple as that.
For Docker usage you'll probably be better off with the "automatic upgrade" images instead:

That being said, those pgautoupgrade images are alpine Linux based.

People coming from non-alpine Linux images of PostgreSQL will probably need that older not-automatic approach you linked to.
He could be pulling something like 1/2 million as a DJ. Still a side gig, but not quite as trivial especially when his CEO pay isn’t directly tied to hours worked.

“His Spotify profile has 550,000 monthly listeners with his debut single garnering 8 million listens.”

It varies but this list is showing several people at close to 1$/year per monthly listener. https://www.internetdj.com/top-djs

Can someone explain why companies want engineers to return to the office so badly? Engineering requires prolonged periods of uninterrupted focus. Working from home provides that focus. Who wants this return to the office so badly and why?

When I worked “from the office” I routinely had to work from home to focus on high stakes projects, because the office was interruption hell. The office, especially open plan, is good for catching up but sucks shit for focusing and getting stuff done.
At my place, there are desks (about 4 feet wide, set in rows of 6, with people's backs facing each other and no dividers). There are about 200 desks, and about 250 employees. Desks need to be reserved, keyboard, mouse and charger all need to be brought by the employee to their desk each day. 50 or so people don't get desks and have to sit on couches, stools in the kitchen with no backs, or the floor.

The CEO said that we should just feel grateful that we have an air-conditioned office with snacks to come back to, poo-poo'd the concerns over: a lack of desks, the high noise-levels, the fact that most teams are distributed and so much of the open office is sitting in a remote zoom call talking over one another...

It's an incredibly hard environment to work in, and I was shocked that my company's CEO was so out-of-touch. Of course, he has a private office.
What's going to be the next Quite OK thing?
I think this is exactly it. I liked working from home when I had a separate room for it and it saved me about an hour every day, but I've since moved to an apartment that's smaller, but also much closer to work, and I prefer the going to the office now. Having your own office does help though (I'm sharing with one other person who's only there once a week).
To be honest, that interview process is not unusual in either it's length or details. In the UK (where this appears to be), recruitment for most public sector, academic, and even entry-level graduate corporate jobs, takes at least as long as described, and often longer.
KDE is not relevant or even heard of aside from people on Arch forums and more isolated communities. Heck the rare times I've seen Linux in the wild, guess what DE they were using? It's the one that's actually used by mainstream Linux distros, and even outside of GNOME, I even saw a wild Ubuntu terminal running Unity about a week ago. KDE should stop assisting with fragmenting Linux, or get the DE up-to-par for mainsream distros to use :p

Meanwhile, guess what's the most popular operating systems for workstation use is. You're implying everyone using Windows willingly is dumb and being inefficient. Dolphin works, so does Explorer, Nautilus, and even Thunar. Only two of those are relevant for most people.
Funny how CFAA only gets trotted out for users acting against the company. When the company is complicit in fraud and abuse against users, there's just nothing anybody can do. The right to bear arms does not extend to cyberspace, and Swartz found out the hard way where vigilantism gets you.

This is Backpage all over again. Maybe publish a sex trafficking or terrorism how-to manual written in Sam Altman's name (or just start selling people on Amazon) and Congress will get involved.
I don't think Superblocks is open source.
I was working on the island of Saint Martin during hurricane Gonzalo, we drove around the island the morning after. We probably drove past a hundred million dollars or more worth of pleasure craft that were just dashed against the shoreline and destroyed. Pretty much anything in the water was reduced to kindling. The locals mostly had small boats that a single person could drag up the beach, which they did, and those survived just fine
Low frequency energy, I assume. Ie bass. Your subwoofer or „bottoms“ if you have several.
I think the only way is to treat access like we do web apps, then enable/disable features accordingly.

That's kinda lame because now you have to have a backend setup, just so you can charge for some features.
I believe many companies solve that by presenting different lists for different users/locales. More engineering effort and hard to get right, if ever, of course.
Thank you! That clarifies :) I'm also glad for all the innovations Mullvad has invented/supported/etc in the VPN space -- anonymous account numbers, multi-server SOCKS proxies, Wireguard over TCP, post-quantum Wireguard, stboot, open APIs, the list goes on.

It feels like VPN for apps is very different than a VPN for browsing. While in both cases I want my traffic to be mixed in with a lot of other people's traffic (so service provider dealing with complaints about neighbors is part of the value proposition), browsing use case is tied to IP reputation (so don't want someone to run a Tor exit on the same IP), whereas the app use case is much less IP reputation-sensitive but definitely benefits from port forwarding (e.g. to anonymously run nodes that powers distributed infrastructure like crypto).

I'd definitely pay premium, with longer commitments up front for "this server might be useless for browsing but run all your anonymous crypto nodes behind forwarded ports" type of service. Maybe if port forwarding is active only if you have 6+ months of outstanding service commitment (and you forfeit the balance if your port gets used for C&C or whatnot) is enough of a deterrent. Some VPNs are doing some traffic segregation already, e.g. having dedicated servers for P2P, though nothing exactly like this.
I'm from Maui, and the reports of my family there are pretty bad. It sounds like the small town of Lahaina has had catastrophic damage to front street, which is one of the main tourist economic centres. I know of multiple heritage buildings that are completely lost.

Additionally, apparently around 80 boats in the harbor have burned. I'm trying to fathom how boats, in the harbor, have burned, but.... alas.
I work in a bank and wish it worked like that too. "Sorry ECB, sorry SEC, we don't allow auditors access to our customers money". :-) My work would be so much easier! Too bad we can't do it because we'd go to prison.
Germany does not have a separation of state and church. That's not something that exists in the constitution. We have a right to freedom of religion (with a bunch of caveats) and we don't have a national religion. But that's pretty much it.

Heck, the Federal Republic of Germany upon its foundation decided to uphold its end on contracts with the Catholic church dating back to the German Empire and even before that by arguing itself to be the "legal successor" of those entities. This results in a bunch of oddities like Germany literally paying money to parts of the Catholic church (for leases, debts and such), churches (and formally church-run organizations even if they're 100% state-funded) being exempt from most labor laws and yes, the tithe being collected by the German tax agency.

However formally this is not specifically tied to Christianity. It's just defined in such a way making it extremely difficult for any other religious group to qualify in the same way after the fact.
What would you consider a high information density program? I wouldn't mind some text labels on some of the buttons, but compared to a lot of modern web apps I use (and the Slack redesign), Audacity is a Bloomberg terminal.

To be honest, I prefer skeumorphism to modern design--at least there were indicators for what could be clicked on. A ton of modern programs do absolutely no indication-design whatsoever and then shovel everything under "progressive discovery". I like my tools to look like cockpits, not a series of off-white plain-text icons or words that hide big JavaScript buttons.
Do you believe that if there was a way to monetize extentions devs would not be approached by data thives?
