Yeah, I'd say it's not as much about hating change, as it is about hating to have huge inconvenience and/or large amount of work and/or potential financial loss suddenly disrupting your life.

A random example fresh on my mind: I'm happy with my city renovating streets and improving infrastructure. But just now, the city started renovating three major streets at the same time, grinding all traffic in the city to a halt. Think taking 2 hours instead of 20 minutes to leave it, or a city bus that was, literally, exactly 199 minutes late. This suddenly disturbed our weekend plans, and at this very moment, I'm NOT happy with the renovations. It's not about the works and the changes - it's about the unexpected hassle this caused to me personally.

(Not that I would vote against the works. Maybe just towards not doing them all at once, and giving more warning.)

Well, there are bunch of other "cost of doing business" like bribing politicians or govt officials to get work done, expense on lobbying, paying fine rather than doing right thing by businesses and so on. I don't see people at large take this as just a cost of doing business and not something to be fixed by setting up and enforcing rules.
Yeah, I want to be totally clear that this wasn't a dig at you - Ensō looks really cool and I'm glad to see a web application embrace offline-first development. This was more just generic griping at how the web has become the only real cross-platform application development environment, regardless of how well it's actually fit for that purpose. But that has nothing to do with you - keep rocking with this :)

I think the average kindness of a person depends on how much they can get away with without social, financial or legal repercussions. Maybe I am just pessimistic? Infosar as organ donation is concerned, I think it's nice to ask people to be considerate of each other and we should encourage that behavior. I am just saying that there are people who are abusive, opportunistic and uncaring. I don't like the idea of an altruistic person falling victim to that kind of person.

Agree with this comment and disagree with the article.

The US owes nothing to the people who want to immigrate here, certainly not due process. If they don't like the US, its policies or citizens, the US should find that out. It is the duty of US immigration to scan their posts for anti-US sentiment, as well as adherence to any ideology that is corrosive to democratic society.

They are effectively applying for a job as US citizen, and should comport themselves accordingly.
I don't mean use 15-year old patterns, I mean we've learned over 15 years what's good practice and what isn't.

We used to use .csv and .ini files that way. After that we used BerkeleyDB, since it was built into so many tools. Or serialized objects. If you got fancy you'd read/write them to a temporary filesystem, and occasionally sync the files to NFS; if the app restarts, sync the files from NFS back to temporary storage, or if the temporary file isn't there, read it from NFS and write it to temporary storage.

Today, if you have to write a web app that has dynamic content and writes and reads user data, you can do it a bunch of ways:

- "Mostly-JS": Write your app in JavaScript. Some hosted provider out there allows you to submit data to some backend app, and read it from the backend app. (This, by the way, is how CGI-BIN web apps worked 20 years ago)

- "Mostly-CGI": Use some managed hosting provider to host a web app with some framework they support, like Wordpress, or Django, or something else. Typically they bundle a networked relational database with it, but I suppose you could trade that out for an sqlite file. Probably wouldn't support Litestream but you could probably have a cron job copy the file to s3.

- "Mostly-standalone": Buy some virtual machine or physical server, set it up, maintain it, write your web app, run a web server that runs your web app, write the file to local disk, set up Litestream. Never touch it, patch it, upgrade it, etc, so it always has security vulns, but it will just keep running, so it will be much easier to get going.

- "Mostly-managed": Pay for some hosted provider to give you the ability to run your app in containers. You build it, you push it, and then set up the thing to run it. Like the previous option, you can opt to never patch or upgrade anything so there's nothing to maintain. But since you can use a bunch of SaaS providers to build, test, and deploy automatically, it's way less to maintain and much more automated. Again, typically you'd use a networked relational database, since they're largely designed to run one app at a time, but you can customize them to have some background task try to upload your sqlite file out of the container or a sidecar.

- "Completely managed": You upload your code. They completely manage the versions of your app platform, doing patches, upgrades, running different instances of your app, databases, web servers, whatever you need. You basically don't have to think about anything but code. You could use sqlite but there's probably no way to back it up.

If you don't need to read and write user data, you don't need a web app at all. A static site works just fine. Hell, you don't even need a static site generator anymore, just link to the right css or js files in your html to DRY up your static content.

I was taught about the hydrophilic/hydrophobic nature of soaps and detergents in university decades ago; this is not new information, and is uncontroversial. As others have pointed out, it’s even easy to observe in simple home experiments.

I have never heard of soap disrupting the phospholipid shell of viruses; this is new and “interesting if true”.

The astoundingly bad handling of government communications during the pandemic makes me automatically skeptical of arguments from authority.

However, the takeaway of “wash your hands thoroughly to inhibit disease vector transmission” has amply been proven in the last century.

All ex-Yugoslav republics are speaking the same Serbo-Croatian language, despite calling it Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian etc. Even today, after 20 years of separation, their languages are closer to each other than some South and North Italian dialects. Genetically they are mostly the same population too. Only Albanians in Kosovo and Metohia are exception in both cases.

So, technically Bosniaks, Croats, Macedonians, Montenegrins, Serbs, and Slovenians are South Slavs, or literally Yugo-Slavs.

The product we should be concerned with is the ebike operator In the quote below, the issues of loss of control, single bicycle accidents etc. all parallel the data found in the Hurt report on motorcycle accidents. Motorcycle riders were able to drop their accident and injury rate by better training of the rider.

>Current research mainly analyzes injury-monitoring data. Studies have shown that 27.6% of fatal bicycle accidents in the Netherlands involved EB in 2017 [10]; in Israel, a total of 3686 hospitalized cases were related to EB during 2014–2019 and 84.92% oral and maxillofacial injuries were attributed to EB [11]; and in the United States, there were 130,000 ERTI cases from 2000 to 2017, accounting for 5.3% of the total number of injuries in the emergency department. Among them, 17% of EB caused serious injuries such as traumatic brain injury and internal hemorrhage [12]; in Switzerland, the incidence of ERTI is 17%, and the main causes of injuries are road skidding, riding too fast, and being unable to maintain balance [13]. Langford used GPS technology to analyze the safety behaviors of EB cyclists in a complex traffic environment. The results showed that violations of traffic lights and driving on motorways are high-frequency dangerous riding behaviors [14]. Haustein et al. conducted a questionnaire survey on EB users in Denmark, and the results showed that the riding attitude of cyclists has a significant impact on heavy ERTIs [15]. After analyzing the accident data recorded by the Swiss police in 2011 and 2012, Weber et al. found that ERTI was dominated by Single-Bicycle Crashes (SBCs) [16].
In the medium term, on average, the market tends to kill-off sheer stupidity. It is kinda traumatic in the short-term to see how much stupidity is rewarded, of course. (And here, are VCs anything more than serial idiots?)

But if you really want to persue a basically competent merit-based path, there's usually one available. You can make 2x in a crypto conjob, or 1x on a gamble that someone needs a plausible value-adding service.

I just don't see this logic at work in academia. The only reason I care here is how often academics have a kind of superstition of 'business' which is nothing other than a description of their own situation. When, in reality, freedoom from these chronic stupidities lies in everything they claim to hate.
Oh, I didn't mean to invoke FP abstractions - "composition" is used outside of FP, and "partial"... that's just bad naming choice on my end. This example was meant to be dumb, imperative C-like code.

Correct. At an old job we did zero trust corp on a different AWS region and account. The admin site was a different zero trust zone in prod region/account and was supposed to eventually become another AWS account in another region (for cost purposes).

I can’t say if any of this was ideal but it did work unobtrusively.
> Moving permanently is one thing, but Europeans have to go through that bullshit even for tourist visas,

Most Europeans get to use the quick and relatively cheap shortcut of ESTA/VWP rather than needing to apply for a full tourist visa, though indeed there are exceptions based on nationality or personal history.

> while all y'all need is your passport because our dumbass politicians didn't insist on reciprocity.

The EU has been working on their own version of ESTA called ETIAS for many years now, which has been repeatedly delayed for EU-internal reasons that as far as I've read have nothing to do with US pressure, like technical/IT delays and a request from France for the related Entry/Exit System not to begin before the Paris Olympics. ETIAS is currently expected to begin operation in 2025 and will apply to US citizens just as it will to every other Schengen-visa exempt third-country nationality.

Since you said "Europeans" rather than "EU citizens" or "Schengen citizens", I'll recognize that the UK is still in Europe and note that they're preparing to do the same kind of thing, with their system to be called ETA and also intended to include US citizens once fully implemented.

So that will bring approximate reciprocity, again with the exception of those Europeans who don't qualify for the US ESTA/VWP system.

What is the difference between "newsworthy" and "clickbait" if you don't put reliability of sources ahead of the desire to be the first to report something which might be false?

This seems to encapuslate all that's wrong with journalism today which tries to report whatever was said on social media prior to confirming it. Sources like the NYT now just read like a curated version of Twitter - someone said X, someone else said Y. Sorry, but that's not journalism or news. It's just a reader's digest of a bunch of ignorant, unvalidated opinions.

And if the articles themselves are merely lagging summaries of the social media wars, the comments can't be much more elevated.

This is good feedback on writing a clear message - I appreciate it.

The goal of this project is to build a superb developer experience around analytical databases. I think that is one of Snowflake's (many) value propositions. It is also a goal for users to be able to have full control of their data, how it is processed, and be able to make economical use of their compute.

This project does not have a goal of matching anyone else's features. But of course, as we grow, we'll end up building things which are important to enterprises.
The problem is that no decision maker at Microsoft is actually going to promise in writing that even 99.9999% of the email data will be retained, and does not somehow mysteriously vanish, no matter how much money you spend with them. Let alone an actual 100%.

> Tl;dr - "masking" making defining "authenticity" challenging for neurodivergent folks.

Understood

> But I don't think having a fixed concept of self is a universal experience. For me, (when I'm at my full potential) I'm able to select and deselect attributes of myself to express.

I don't think anyone has a true "self". I am not who I was 10 years ago and neither are you. Physically, sure. Mentally? Metaphysically? Absolutely not. People you interact with aren't stagnant by definition. If they were, you wouldn't be interacting with them. Where the honesty (and the authenticity) comes into play is where who you are now is who you are representing.

As for selecting and deselecting traits I don't think this is inauthentic. It's normal, actually, in that people do this to create connections. I like to think of it like a handshake. We each kind of discuss things we like, we eventually arrive in some consistent state, and now we're "connected". We are still authentic (in that we are still honest) but we have selected certain traits of ours that are similar enough to foster a relationship. Of course, the inauthentic person can exploit this by just replaying back what they hear. This usually doesn't last long though. Someone too similar also raises red flags. An authentic person, IMO, will present with things you like and things you don't like. The balance of that is what makes the relationship between the two. Admitting what appear to be a negative (I don't like X, I think X) is actually a good indicator of an honest person.
That's called A/B testing, like the parent mentioned, and yes, it's a popular technique predating YouTube and "creators" in the new sense of the word.
Thanks for leaving a comment! Author here. "Misunderstanding" is right on the money. It's a fantastic tool, and one of the best features of Django in my opinion. Personally I don't think it's ugly. But at the same time, if I gave it to a client, they would immediately turn up their nose to it because it does not look like a 2023 UI. People, and their managers, and their manager's managers are vain that way. And those people are not the target of the Django admin.

We now have a new generation of developers who learned on fancy JS frameworks, SaaS dashboards, A.I.-enabled tools, etc. These new devs learning Django now in 2023 have never seen anything like the Django admin.

So with this article I'm just trying to pass on the tribal knowledge as to when to use it, and why it is what it is.
> If you are applying to a corporate job, the person with c#/.net has the edge over someone with the equivalent experience in python/django.

If.

I spent seven years working a corporate job. My pay is higher today working for startups than it would have been if I'd climbed the corporate ladder. I've had a couple of windfalls in that time: a ~$50k payout when an investment round occurred prior to an IPO, and a ~$125k payout when that IPO happened after I left. If I had joined that company earlier, more aggressively exercised my RSOs when I had them, or had stayed until the IPO occurred, I would have seen a ~$1.5m profit. I learned from that, and now choose my employer based on my estimation of their chances at a successful exit in the time period I want to commit to the company. For me, that means choosing earlier-stage companies where I can accumulate more equity. A happy side effect of that is that I have a much larger relative impact on the company's direction, which keeps me interested and engaged in their success.

In other words... I have no interest in a corporate job. I know I'm far from alone in that.
It’s a difficult problem to solve. There is a very sleazy revolving door between regulators and regulated industries. Industries will essentially send people to work as regulators and represent the industries’ interests while in their government posts. These people then return to industry to command much higher salaries. In this way, government service is a stepping stone to a better private sector job.

But it would be hard to shut this down because regulatory bodies need industry insiders working for them. You don’t want the agencies to be composed of people who couldn’t hack it in the private sector.

This is one of the reasons I am skeptical when people reflexively suggest more government regulation as the solution to all problems.
The point is that even in a society where everyone has an equal shot at academic success there will still be a noticeable correlation between parental income level and student achievement.

Therefore the fact that a correlation exists doesn't prove that the system is flawed.
