> All this started when fascists forced to implement or change Code of Conduct.

Calling people names won't change much. Although I sympathized with Linus' message in some of his comments, its form was, let's be frank, hard to tolerate. If you had a workmate who was highly competent but would scream at you "what is this brainfucked shit" etc., I guess it wouldn't be a nice place to work. At least I personally avoid such people and in the worst cases just leave. And I'm saing this in spite of the fact I admire Linus and agree with the actual contents of his inflammatory posts.

> Open source is now woke. That's all.

"Open source" is a wide term. You are right that there are many especially younger developers, and especially from the USA who are emphasizing certain aspects like inclusivity etc. I agree that the effects of their efforts might be debatable but saying "open source is now woke" is an overstatement. Not to mention that many projects are run by old-timers who not necessarily agree with whatever is en vogue now but don't consider it necessary to make all their views public.

Octocom | Remote | Europe | Full-time | Founding Engineer / Web Developer | Competitive Salary + Substantial Equity

We’re a well-funded startup building a solution to streamline the online shopping experience, guiding customers to their ideal product choice using conversational agents. Essentially, our vision is to replicate the experience of in-store expert shopping advisors, but online.

We’ve launched our product and already have paying clients. So far we are growing substantially fast (4x revenue from past quarter) and our biggest bottleneck is product development speed.

We are looking for a generalist that is capable of quickly building web apps, integrations, scrapers, and algorithms. Additionally, interest/experience in LLM applications AND/OR information retrieval systems is preferred, yet not required. We don’t have a strict requirement for experience or education; candidates will be judged on merit (speed, skills, intelligence). Stack: TypeScript, React, Serverless, PostgreSQL.

Interested? lukas [at] octocom.ai

Getting in and out of the city and maintaining relationships in it is diminished. We see it with the cameras in London today. Stopping sprawl is a worthy goal, but that’s done with planning not with individual movement restrictions and monitoring. These same policy objectives produced the hellscape apartment blocks of outer paris, the poverty traps of council housing, soviet brutalist and anti human towers, and the housing projects we call ghettos. It’s all the same policy urge, which is for a govt to replace their electorates with impoverished dependents whose votes are cheap and whose lives are too tenuous to interfere with political objectives.
Getting debugging access to locked down hardware is always cool.
For both, actually. And I realize I didn’t phrase it very well. I didn’t mean checking out what others think in real time, but only afterward, and async.

And it doesn't have to be a long and complete thought, like an after-reading review, right? Most of the time, it's just, "I like this sentence," "I've had the same thought once," or "I disagree, but I like the author's reasoning," etc. These are ephemeral thoughts that occur during reading, and most of the time, they are lost. It would be nice to have a convenient way to capture them.

StoryGraph actually offers a very close feature called "Track progress", with which one can, well, track progress and add notes correspondingly. But it's only enabled when the status is "currently reading". Ideally, it should extend to any status, one can certainly have afterthoughts much later after reading a book, or even pre-thoughts before reading it. :D
I guess IBM was a major driver and sponsor for the Linux Foundation and had reason to push standardization and enterprise things such as LSB (alignment and extension effort for POSIX/SUS) but now owning RH has of course totally shifted the perspective. Also, commercial Linux seems more about a few cloud providers and tool vendors - standardization has no standing in that environment.

It is my opinion and my direct lived experience that yes, we should all start trying to prevent our little chaotic sacks of bio-molecues from going amok.

I would emphatically suggest starting here: Read scientific papers. Read the academic literature.

Read. Know you can read.

And, please bear with me: Know that your doctors most probably do not read.

It sounds so paranoid or bitter. I haven’t found another way to put it into words.

If only for the fact that doctors are usually very busy people. Many of them are probably overworked.

And even among those doctors that do read, a doctor will not be able to view the literature from the urgent perspective of the individual. We are all specialists in ourselves, know the details of our lives, our family history.

It is possible for a layman to read academic literature. To the point that you can help the doctor help you. Don’t tell anyone you can’t read.

There is a severe disease in my close family. The doctors missed the diagnosis for years. Diagnosis happened through sheer luck, insistent advice from a nurse speaking “out of their place”, and our persistence. At diagnosis, biomarkers were so far out of range that it can be known that death would most probably have occurred within days.

After this, we read academic literature.

After this, we trust the doctor like we trust our parachute.

As proof that a layman can read academic literature to save their life and preserve their health:

After the diagnosis, papers we have read have clearly shown that a course of action ordered by a doctor is wrong, harmful, potentially life-threatening. Multiple times. Harmful prescriptions, or abject denial of severe side-effects known to occur in some people. We have had to step in and intercede. The crucial part: This has then been confirmed by another doctor’s opinion. Multiple times.
I think the confusion is caused by the notion of a separate library that is also “stdlib” - which is the version that comes with the official distribution.

You're displaying the usual pattern of, interpret something that isn't bigoted as bigoted, then continuously broaden the definition. Here you are doing exactly that to someone who objectively was not transphobic (it has an actual meaning, you know), and to commenters who are also not transphobic.

Coworkers who issue nonsense bigotry claims against their coworkers like you are extremely toxic and unwelcome in any well run business staffed by mature adults. I fear for your coworkers, please do not harass them with this toxic nonsense.

My experience is that if you do the data modelling properly a well designed star schema with some aggregation tables or materialized views on top can often remove the need for dedicated OLAP software.

Now you do NOT want to run such a setup on the same hardware that you use for your transactional systems, of course. But you CAN use the same software (like Oracle), which means that you do get some reduction in tech complexity.
> why use the worst one?

Because functionality wise, it's the best one. And the most popular one. Even among programmers people who will sacrifice that for idealogical purity are a minority.
While some observations will be harder to conduct (say, if they rely on continuous data at high time resolution), but can't longer exposures avoid satellites by closing a shutter when the satellite crosses the very narrow FoV of the telescope?

For the amateur equipment I've seen, they already work by adding lots of shorter exposures and discarding the photobombed ones shouldn't be too much of a problem.

> The beauty of the early designs (iOS 1 - 5) was the contrast between materials in the UI. Things you could press were shiny and made to look like they had the feel of the glass screen. This was not the usual way to interact with any device at the time, as most digitizers were plastic sheets laid over the glass that had some give. In contrast, things you could not touch were made to look matte.

That's why we found those UIs so clear! It all registered without thinking (i.e. frustrated fumbling and frantic guesswork). Progress isn't always improvement, but the two concepts are now dangerously muddled.

Excellent stuff.

I have to disagree with the not using the source code formatters bit though.

More trivially, you can improve the source code formatters to accept the example provided as legitimate. In fact, it can be setup to automatically format other similar patterns that way itself.

Yes humans are good at patterns but there’s only so many patterns you can form while writing code, and the heuristics involved while deciding what pattern to use can almost certainly be encoded fairly easily.

But even if we assume that this isn’t possible, a formatted is still very valuable for the simple reason that others may not follow the same patterns as you, or may not follow patterns. Someone else formatting the code differently may rub you the wrong way, and the only way to resolve that is the worst type of code formatting bike-shedding.

And if you don’t agree and both of you do your own thing in different parts of the codebase, well, you’re not following a pattern and you’ve lost the benefits indicated about following patterns.

What makes a case extreme?

When Breivik was aged 4, and living in Oslo's Frogner borough, two reports were filed expressing concern about his mental health.[47] A psychologist in one report made a note of the boy's peculiar smile, suggesting it was not anchored in his emotions but was rather a deliberate response to his environment.[48] In another report from Norway's National Centre for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (SSBU), concerns were raised about how Breivik was treated by his mother: "[s]he 'sexualised' the young Breivik, hit him, and frequently told him that she wished that he were dead."

See also https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/norway/959...

See also his Psychiatric evaluation under https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders_Behring_Breivik

Whatever he did, I have doubts that he was sane. But the question is, which problem does the death penalty really solve? Deterrence? Most death penalty countries have very high crime rates. Prevent another crime from the same individual? Life without parole has the same effect.

PS: Reading about Breivik, he was probably insane or at least on the border of insanity during his crimes. Judging by his actions in prison, he is at least insane by now. I doubt that he well get released after 21 years served and will get preventive detention. So basically, since he is mentally sick now he can't get released from prison, a place where he likely should not have been held in the first place.
I’m pretty sure the nausea side effects of Ozempic/Wegovy is very widely reported and is included in nearly every article that talks about those drugs.

I think it should be pretty obvious why one would talk about suicidal ideation as opposed to nausea, blurry vision, etc.

And this might be one of the first articles I’ve come across talking about the suicidal ideation. The vast majority tend to focus on the other side effects.

Anyway, would be best to go through them, to find more recent legislation concerning your case than the Equality Act 2010.
I've been watching a lot of "Ozempic experience" YT videos recently because a family member is considering it. It seems like by far the most common side effect is a few weeks of diarrhea. After that, some nausea. Overall, I get the impression that most people tolerate it well if they can accept the diarrhea, but a small portion aren't able to get past the side effects and discontinue.

The more interesting number is that the vast majority of people who discontinue, even after long term use, regain 100% or more of the weight they lost. Weight loss doctors talk about this drug as something like statins which you'll likely need to take for the rest of your life. I think that's the area that needs the most improvement.

I was rereading this old (2014) post from Tonsky (tonsky.me/blog/reinventing-git-interface), complaining about the fact that no git CLI manages to make the git interface sucks less.

Well, I have to disagree: tig does it! It's in the terminal, is lightning fast (written in C, can handle million-commit repos), configurable, and supports a shortcut for any action you can think of.

I think I type the "tig" command about 100 times a day. To me tig is a hidden gem that every dev should know about. No more complex GUIs, gitk, or byzantine git commands. Just `alias tig='tig --all'` and you're good forever with git.
