Right, fully understandable. My own situation? I recently decided to compare it to a stubbed toe that's been bothering me these 30 years.

30 years ago I discovered that I had stubbed my toe long ago. It really smarted and bugged me! I could barely walk so I started seeking care for it! Of course I was an extremely sick boy, with lots of latent ailments undiagnosed, but all anyone ever wanted to look at was that darned toe. How many times am I taking off my sock for some woman stranger?

I've incurred charges amounting to ~1/3 of a million dollars (that's a conservative and honest estimate, including 4 hospitalizations) on that "stubbed toe" issue. Not to minimize bipolar disorder, but it's defined as a "mood problem" so if you have mood swings or are moody then you have a mood problem. Mood is a mere symptom; an affect. On the scale and scope of issues bothering me, it is truly trivial and minor. Since 2008, I literally don't have mood swings. I sometimes get agitated and testy; I take strange irrational actions, but it is a normal sort of mood that would be considered natural in any undiagnosed person. Furthermore, I was formally diagnosed "IN REMISSION", via second opinion, about 3 years ago.

So the doctor denies my remission now, and insists that I still have a stubbed toe and insists that I must take drugs to avoid the hospital and dire consequences. Why, how, is stubbed-toe medication going to do that? Don't I need something stronger? You consistently detect serum levels as sub-therapeutic but you don't even bother to ramp up my dosages. Like, surgery or intensive PT or something??! Scheduled drugs, at least? It was literally only 5 years ago when I discovered how profoundly ill and messed-up I was. The doc says I literally have brain damage, and it's true. That stubbed toe really snowballed over 45+ years.

Of course I've sought manifold treatments and I've had mixed success, and I really believe that there is healing and recovery for these people who "stubbed their toe" and ran into so, so many problems afterwards. But today, 30 years on, I have bigger fish to fry; sorry doc but I'm off all of my meds.
And that’s the impact of inflation.

Not hyperinflation.

Words mean stuff. Hyperinflation leads to situations which the U.S. is nowhere near experiencing.

Unfortunately some labels deliberately use artist accounts. I can only guess they do so because it keeps their visitors within their catalogue more easily.

With a label account users clicking on the artist on a release page will go to the actual artist page which might contain releases from all kinds of labels.
Isn't you pulling the word "woke" out of nowhere, unrelated to the topics you've actually linked to, trying to invoke a narrative?

Having had a quick glance at your past comment history, that you're trying so hard to push an angle is not surprising.
Funny as this was one of the winning arguments when we went to the cloud, couldn’t possible be safer to host your own, right ? RiGhT?
It's quite ironic that the recent centralization and cloudarisation of the Internet (& electronic devices).

When everything was local and private, the attacker could only access a specific device or network, even if the security was often very weak. Now a single attack on a centralized entity has such a big payoff, that it makes if viable to allocate much bigger resources by attackers.
Honestly your respectful tone is refreshing. Based on my past experience with HN, I was bracing for a complete evisceration lol.

The issue I have is you're painting a distorted picture of reality that reads like a badly written fairytail with evil fatcats and poor Victim™ workers.

In reality, middle class America's purchasing power wasn't destroyed by the lack of a decent minimum wage or the greed of your local barbers, it was destroyed by inflation sponsored and accelerated by the one and only: Uncle Sam

Starting with the FDR era socialists policies that set the stage, we built an economy with embedded growth obligations (social security etc) addicted to credit and growth, like a junkie desperate for the next fix.

This credit-based system, with roots in Marxism, Keynesianism, and MMT, has become too big to fail. So we keep it afloat by handouts (methadone) and bailouts (sugar daddy), in a vicious cycle of robbing Peter to pay Paul.

The issue is we are not all Peter or Paul. There is this phenomenon called the Cantillon effect where those closest to the money printer get richer, while the rest of us foot the bill

This perpetuates a cycle where the middle class gets stripped of its purchasing power while simultaneously tangible goods like houses and commodities become even further out reach as those closest to the money printer and smart third parties race into real things.

This is where things go from ugly to end of Pax Americana. Instead of addressing the root issues, you and your kin want double down. More intervention (Federal Soylent™), more byzantine regulations and straight out persecution of the merchant class.

It sounds like hyperbole, I wish it was hyperbole but its not. "Eat the rich" isn't a parody, its the rallying cry of the ruling party. They are just about to ritualistically sacrifice the auto industry to moloch.

We live in the most prosperous nation in history. Poor people today live in luxury compared to most people just a century ago. However, things are taking a bad turn thanks to collectivism. That said, we are talking about a very small subset of the population.

Even among that cohort, its mostly crippling financial education/management problems. You have illegal aliens coming here with no wealth and no access to welfare who manage to not only survive but also send money back to their families.

we should strive to continually improve our bargain with nature but the ideas you and your kin share will bring about the end of modern civilisation as we know it.

Games which you arent supposed to or cant win are called toys. In other languages the distinction is harder. (german spiel vs. spielzeug ; spielen vs. herumspielen)

Often you can play games with toys. Or you can toy in or with games. But, you arent playing the game in that moment. So theres a fundamential difference between those types of play.

There might be aspects of cooperation in games, but most game design theorist[1] argue that competition (sometimes it's just against the odds) must be part of a game.

There are lots of aspects why we play or toy. Winning, or typically called the challenge is only one of eight aspects. Others include sensation, fantasy, narrative, fellowship, discovery, expression and submission[2].

So if your personal reason for playing comes from winning or not, is up to you.

Of course there is also the aspect of the flow, to rise with the challenge. And the types of challenges people like to be confronted with (language, mathematics, motion & perception, spatial, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal and naturalistic).

MariaDB [1] is a community developed fork of MySQL, so you can feel free to use that in place of MySQL.

Another alternative would be Percona [2] which is a drop-in replacement for Oracle MySQL.

About PostgreSQL I haven't had that much of personal experience with it, but for sure I plan to learn it, because it has been battle-tested for years with lots of well-known projects, such as Django framework, for instance.

This is almost exactly it. Costco shoppers will buy whatever they push.

Maybe we (males to other males) do something similar to teasing... But with a crueler streak. I knew I could call my Irish colleague a freind the day he called me an Englsh wanker.

Conversely, a former girlfriend said that she did not consider me as a romantic partner until the first time I teased her. I can't remember what form it took, but there is no way it would have involved me calling her a wanker.
Here in Canada, we have been handling immigration woes our entire existence. It's not easy.

Imagine as you might, you bring in 150,000 syrians. Do you have enough arabic translators? Obviously not, how about language teachers? Obviously not. How about beds? What you want them to sleep on park benches?

But when you have gotten to the point where your law enforcement has failed their job and you bring in the military. The fundamental country rule is that the government gets complete monopoly over violence, law enforcement is to prevent violence. When you no longer can do this, you have failed and are no longer legitimate as a country.

So it's not "all Microsoft".

It's the usual exaggerated headline, but this time it draws attention on a person's post on Mastodon.

This platform is really no different from Twitter.
If the lesson the author is ultimately trying to convey is "You can't trust cloud infrastructure providers to protect your data, especially Microsoft." My answer is, "Okay. What can a company do when there is no choice?" The number of enterprise-grade applications that are cloud-only offerings is only increasing. Regardless of whether or not my company actually wants to to own the risk of storing its data in a third party, the day is coming where they have to choose to accept the risk that comes with storing data in the cloud, or re-inventing someone else's wheel at great development and operational cost.
Also marketing to developers, I've had the most success and enjoyed Reddit the most so far. It feels the most honest. Want to tell a bunch of rails developers about your dynamic logging? You can try to write a useful post that also mentions your product onto r/rubyonrails/ but you're run the risk of being downvoted into oblivion with "venordz spam suxxxx".

But it's fair game to promote the same post on that subreddit, because that's what promotion is supposed to do.

That said, you can't just post crap ads or you'll get snarky comments. As my co-founder said "You can’t just shout nonsense into the void without some accountability." I think the internet could use more of that.

The largest discussion in this thread is about politics;

The biggest tension at the GNU 40 years event was when an old Mr. was speaking about social economics and his attempts to make a local money in Basel (ch). Two american protagonists interrupted the speach telling it is too political.
Later i talked to the one of them, a Chinese girl studiying in Harvard USA, she started telling me things about her big rich buisiness family and personal crypto projects she had in liberal finance field in Switzerland, she proposed me a job as a Solidity develloper. And I UNDERSTOOD why the previous speech was "TOO POLITICAL" for her.

For me, FSF and GNU are not enought political;
I was always disappointed of the FSF and GNU political positioning, while their fight is about freeing the world of proprietary licences (property right) they don't consider to support anticapitalists movements who are fighting for that to.
Stallman was the only to publicly support the French left social-reformist party "La France Insoumise" with the candidat Jean Luc Mélenchon, and for me it means a lot.

Now, let's say it; OF course I understand why this is strategic for them, but i don't stand for it because it is irresponsible and dangerous.
Charity used to structured and organized locally with Local churches, rotary clubs, and Samaritan organizations working to help less well off people in a town/neighborhood/city.

> one thing that can reliably trigger inflation in almost any country is oil/gas shortages

I am convinced we are making a huge mistake by conflating shortage of raw material with general inflation.

If there was shortage of food tomorrow, the correct responce is not to raise interest rates - that would cause even greater problems and famine.

The correct responce is immediate intervention to expand supply - build greenhouses, accelerated permits, zero interest finance for agriculture, etc.

This issue will lead to disaster as climate change bites - we are only managing fictisious financial parameters and ignoring what is happening to physical atoms.
> Fourth, fewer games will be available because fewer authors will be motivated to write programs when they cannot earn a good return for their efforts.

Most of the points are spot on in terms of the AAA response to piracy, but this one has been proven to be hilariously off-base. The open availability of professional-grade game development tools has lead to an explosion in games being developed (even if _far_ more are developed than are commercially viable).

I wonder if this observation can be extrapolated to hand-wringing over copyright in other industries...
of course. But cut scenes with orchestral instruments (even synthesized as they frequently are) are soundtrack music in classical style. That's the stuff I mean.
One could say you're doing the exact same thing to Redditors that you say they do. Being negative for the sake of being negative. Just love to hate when there is no human face - or even someone to reply. But oops, here one is ;)

Redditors are entitled and they are demanding and they are quick to jump all over you. And they can be wrong. But it's not for the sake of negativity and it's not because there is no human there.

That culture is damned effective at filtering out bullshit and bad actors and getting to the facts. If you want to bring Redditors some overpriced vaporware you are absolutely right they're going to rip you apart. They're just doing what Redditors do - calling out bullshit.

Bring them a product worthy of praising and they'll make entire subreddits dedicated to your awesome product.

because of the poisonous vitriol that responses will undoubtedly have, i wont be reading responses. dont even bother.
When I worked at Microsoft, I found a case internally where it appeared that a service was accepting expired certificates as a form of authentication for admin-level calls. I was fairly new, so I brought it to someone who had been at Microsoft for the better part of a decade. We didn't own the service in question, and he told me that, since it wasn't our service, I should just focus on continuing our work, and that it wasn't our responsibility to raise the security concern.

In the end, it turns out it was not accepting expired certs -- there was another auth method superseding the certs -- but the behaviour I saw in this case was not unusual to encounter.

Microsoft has many excellent engineers, even in security. But decades of culture rot take longer than a few years to fix, and a lot of old-timer Microsofties have this "not my problem" viewpoint that can lead to major security risks. No doubt, the way Microsoft has handled this year's layoffs -- staggered, leaving people in the lurch and in serious stress for months on end -- has wiped out much of the progress they've made under Satya.

tl;dr I'm not surprised by (a) Microsoft having breaches and (b) Microsoft not dealing with security issues in a timely manner.
>Except you were posting on a sub-thread discussing the importance of those “tiny UI differences”.

Not true. The sub thread was about whether or not users can tell the difference between native and cross platform apps, specifically Flutter, and whether they care.

satvikpendem wrote this:

"Good for you, but most people can't tell nor do they care, given that I've shipped Flutter apps across thousands of users, both consumer and enterprise, whom we collect feedback from. Not once did anyone complain about the app visuals or performance itself"

The context is everything and anything that users could notice and provide feedback on, not just visuals.

Also, I think you may have missed the link in my argument between battery usage and the attempt to imitate native visuals.
The incident was citied in the fine article. And it is a well-known incident - other than Tenerif and the 9/11 incidents I can not offhand think of any other incidents with as many fatalities.
