Currently, I'm working as a software developer in finances in a systematic trading area for hedge fund. I develop trader oriented applications on Java, Python, JS, with reliability and quality in mind. I automate routine dev operations with Jenkins, Python, Bash. I'm interested in learning different program languages, and improving my level of tech expertise as well as quality of my products.
Hundreds of SWATtings. You can infer a lot from that alone.
Not just that, he modified the sentence by replacing most of it with the names of SF politicians.

Pretty much the only part left intact was "die slowly".

This isn't a quote, this is an allusion.
I wish you well with FDW. I thought postgres_fdw seemed great and tried using it to construct cross-database queries. Unfortunately it performed like a complete dog for any kind of batch DML or mildly complex batch select statement, despite me trying every possible trick I could find online. Apparently it's a known drawback with postgres_fdw, supposedly fixed in later versions (which my organisation wasn't ready to upgrade to). Finding much pertinent information about that particular problem either in PG docs or online was a challenge in itself.

It turned out to be far quicker, if less than ideal, to have a program with a connection to each database act as middleman because the queries it ran were locally optimised and could be tuned properly.

All this may, of course, be a sign of a major gap in my Postgres-fu and I accept all derisory replies with appropriate humility.
I agree.

It is frustrating, though, that they require you to provide an exhaustive list of people who can contact them but they are under no such obligation to do the same for you.
Could you link to a cat food dispenser this works with? The one I have gives food whenever the electricity gets turned on as part of its startup process, but way too much.

> In particular, “digital artisans” using Open Source software at small scale – the main concern of Debian – will need guidance from the European Commission.

Sadly I don't think it will move, the commission doesn't want to weaken the legislation because they don't want to much discrepancy between member states.

It will once again be up to individual countries to set up this law with their own interpretation.

In my experience with Rgpd, the watchdogs in at least 3 countries (France, Italy, Germany) are extremely helpful in navigating regulations, especially if you are incidentally its target (As a PaaS that hosted health data, we were).

I understand that this is both unclear, unknowable and a pretty huge risk (not really factually, but it feels like one): I'm not saying Debian people are wrong to want to clarify, I'm not saying people should take this as a victory, or that EU is perfect : I'm just saying that as a complex federation, with current rules, this law will probably be the best we will get, and sadly, local 'forgiveness' and loose execution is the only thing you can count on.

Because in the EU eyes, the law being loose is way, way worse than the local executive power being loose.
Google Voice does this. It makes a human press a number to be connected.

The article neglects to mention the fact that there's also no guarantee that the song code you've inked onto yourself will even be available on Spotify for as long as Spotify, itself, is around.

the thing I find interesting is of course the big international firms are vulnerable to this kind of thing, smaller content providers not so much.

In the situation you posit, that sort of action would come from a vote, not a single person's vigilante call for action. That is the difference.

While I'd argue for a normal person that posting something like that would just fly under the radar and disappear into the aether of the internet, the same does not apply to someone who heads a large publicly visible company, and who posts publicly on an account associated (implicitly) with that company.
I assume AC is even easier, but in DC, splitting a 24V supply into 12V and -12V is trivial.

Voltage is just your distance from ground, and while we generally think ground has 0 volts, really it can have any number of volts, just whatever circuit you're running is higher. Voltage is relative to the ground potential.

To put it another way, voltage is pressure in flowing water. If you pick a river as "earth" 12V is whatever 12V is in speed faster than the flow of the river, and -12V is going the same amount slower than the river. The river is your ground potential
Welsh Government accused of 'breaking' Welsh Duolingo course
Haha no I think they might not. I agree the VPS space is underserved wrt connection speed, which is where VPSes could really shine given the egress scams of cloud providers. Sometimes they have higher than advertised speeds though. I suspect most people care about cpu, ram and fs IO more than network speeds. This, in turn, might be because of bloated modern stacks that eat so much resources that link speed never becomes a bottleneck. Just a theory..

I’ve found good deals with Netcup (EU) and Colohouse (US) although the latter is not fun to deal with their “support” aka sales “team”.

The crucial mistake he made was not staying anonymous when trying to fight corruption.

It is very unfortunate because people like him should be applauded, but it's true.
Possibly, but Russia internally felt that they lost. And this was significant contributing factor to the collapse of their empire.
I actually used that a bit at the time, but it the web was too young and browsers and HTML were too immature to support it well.
I have this same issue, and the same with `jq` and `GNU Parallel`.

When you need them you need them, and nothing else quite works, but I have to re-learn them every time.
Yeah, that's my experience as well.

Inexperienced developers but also inexperienced PMs have become extremely biased against generalists, due to assumptions and tendency to box others. This is a recent phenomena, it didn't used to be like this. A CTO, engineering director or senior knows better.

Fixing HR is easy, though: just explain it to them what a generalist is and the advantages, and they'll trust you.
The parking lot requirements are a large part of what makes cars the only viable transport option in an area. They do need to go. And yes, other means of transport need to be provided.
PayPal in particular is a dumpster fire of a company. I strongly recommend against using them for anything, and especially never link your bank account to them. You would be hard-pressed to find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. (source: past experience and PayPal still has money of my company they won't release)
Oh this brings some memories.

I was one of the people who still ran DOS when this wasn't really very common any more, and was constantly looking for things like drivers that would bring proper vesa or sound support to newer hardware on DOS. I ended up starting a webpage dedicated to collecting those drivers for DOS, which by now must've been decades ago.

It never grew very big, but I also never took it down. I wonder if it helped some people over the years.

The US were extremely willing to cut North Vietnamese supply lines, including illegal operations in neighbouring countries. The only thing not tried was flattening cities in the North by air (that approach didn't work in WW2 neither, so no big loss). True so, the South received billions in support from the US, including a full troop deployment for years. The North did the same from China and the USSR. Still, at the core, it was as much a conventional as it was an unconventional war. One the US lost. The Vietnamese did deploy a ton of cutting edge weapons so, from top notch fighter jets to air-to-air missiles.

And no, you do not win those kind of wars by brutality. People love to believe that, it just doesn't work that way.

Half the time I end up dropping to a cli anyway. At this point I’m really not sure what VSCode adds once you’ve learned the tool at hand. Node or .Net or whatever can all be programmed effectively outside of VSCode. Just ditch it.
Well there's this:

If you have motivation and time, find a niche, a project you are interested to dig into. Spend a month on learning about it, write some code. Then contact OSS contributors working in that area, show interest to learn and contribute. It may work. Good lick!
It’s perplexity.ai, which is what Arc started pushing recently. YMMV, I asked it some technical questions and got responses back which were far too generic to act upon. Might have pointed me in the right direction for a Kagi search though if I was clueless on the subject.
Battery power management for power users (2023)
I'd reckon it's partly habit, but it is a very nice way of "installing" something easily and being able to also very easily _uninstall_ it without leaving any cruft behind, as well as having completely disparate multiple versions of things, if you need that.

For single-file binaries this is less of an issue, but even those sometimes require dependencies that you already have something else that needs a different version of that same dependency causing conflict.
How to Optimize Your Joplin Notes
>the seemingly out of place "as a record label" portion of Tan's quote probably should have engendered some pause in the discerning reader.

A discerning reader would discern that the word record was missing from Tran's allusion to Tupac's song.

Here's the full quote, in its entirety:

>Fuck Chan Peskin Preston Walton Melgar Ronen Safai Chan as a label and motherfucking crew

>And if you are down with Peskin Preston Walton Melgar Ronen Safai Chan as a crew fuck you too

>Die slow motherfuckers

Compare and contrast with Tupac's lyrics:

>Fuck Mobb Deep, fuck Biggie

>Fuck Bad Boy as a staff, record label and as a motherfuckin' crew

>And if you want to be down with Bad Bo, then fuck you too*

>Chino XL, fuck you too

>All you motherfuckers, fuck you too (take money, take money)

>All of y'all motherfuckers, fuck you, die slow, motherfucker

The only part that was left intact is "die slow".

Which is hardly a quote. More of a violent, incoherent ramble.
Is this position fully remote? If so, I'd be interested.

> CRA needs an exemption for small businesses and, at the very least, solo-entrepreneurs.

My guess is even medium size businesses will face enormous risk and cost related to this.

In the end we might see the worst scenario happening: open source is good, but only if sold by a big company who can afford compliance, risks and lawyers.

This will be somehow similar to what happened with GDPR, most small & medium shops cannot spend too much time on this. And ironically it pushed a lot of people in the 3 big public clouds.

Australian politics, especially NSW politics, is extremely corrupt. It really makes me wonder how this country isn't a failed state, like a 3rd world banana republic.

Stop Making K8s Happen
I think Slint is neat, it seems to have learned from both the best desktop toolkits and web development. QML, in contrast, is much heavier, uses a full JS interpreter, but still doesn't reach the same kind of ergonomics as VDOM web frameworks for dynamic state management (though its layout options are better than even modern CSS). Sadly I mostly make web UIs nowadays, so I haven't had much use for it.
I'm not talking about gym culture, which can be great. (It can also be incredibly toxic, but that's a different discussion).

I'm talking about athletes at the professional level, where the margins are razor thin and the benefits of winning arlcna be immense. I'm talking about the levels where the difference between everyone knowing your name and not being able to make a living can be a few percent, or fractions of a second.

The peak in the 60s occurs a while after the pill was made available in the UK and begins to trend downward before it was made more easily accessible.

Contraceptive measures are not an explanation in and of themselves. They provide no information regarding the "why".

I'd argue that the reduction is more specifically reflective of people's willingness to have children in times of economic hardship or declining living conditions; perceived or otherwise.
How is it not? It'll cut down on spam and other antisocial behavior (e.g., unsolicited intimate images).

The US lost in Vietnam, in fact the Paris treaty came as close to unconditional surrender as it gets without using the term.

Same in Afghanistan, NATO lost hard after being slowly kicked out of the country.

In both cases, none of the US or NATO strategic goals were achieved, while almost all of the opposing sides were. If you think the US won in Vietnam, Iraq won the Gulf War (number two, in the 90s).
The real reason for the change, in my opinion, is that the cache feature is used by many to bypass paywalls

Why autoimmune disease is more common in women: X chromosome holds clues
There will be another blog from us at some point about running the data warehouse at scale. We're already working on integrating with s3 storage, and distributed compute is in the roadmap. Both possible today with open source extensions, and our friends in industry are already doing it.
I was thinking the same thing: I would use HTML as an intermediate, targeting PDF through weasyprint.

In fact I quite often go .md -> .html with pandoc, but write the .md in such a way that, when translated, it is the kind of html that weasyprint will be able to turn into the PDF that I want.
Your comment is way more ridiculous than it might appear at first glance, despite how ridiculous it appears at first glance.

For example, pretty much anyone who looks even slightly unhealthy will repeatedly be told by their doctors about a healthier lifestyle with or without sleep apnea. Never mind doctors. People around them will remind them constantly. And never mind the people around them. The person knows already knows themselves.

So the idea that the OP has made some brave out of the norm recommendation (and this is not a criticism of theirs since unlike you they’re not haranguing other people but relaying their own experience) by suggesting a healthier lifestyle is laughable.

But what makes it even worse in the case of sleep apnea is that sleep apnea itself is a massive drag on living a healthier lifestyle. If a person is unable to sleep properly because they are waking up 30-40 times every hour at night because they’re essentially suffocating themselves each time, it’s almost impossible for them to live a healthy lifestyle. It’s almost impossible to have the energy during the day to exercise, self control when eating goes out of the window, and even if they somehow make a superhuman effort to eat and exercise well, the lack of sleep means their exercise recovery will be poor and they are far more likely to significantly injure themselves while doing exercise, and the subsequent rest to recover from the injury will push them right back to 0.

So yeah, your comment is way dumber than how dumb people who recognize it as dumb will think it is.

The only issue I have with pandoc is the dependency hell it requires. It requires a lot of haskell dependencies and just eats up your storage space.
> Large vehicles are important part of American economy and mostly driven by blue collar workers doing their work. For example things like plumbing, construction site work etc.

So explain the difference between the twentieth century (and the first few years of the twentyfirst), when trucks were an exception and cars were the norm, and now. Are you saying there were almost no plumbers and construction workers around then, or that almost everyone is a plumber or construction worker now?
Interesting. And how do you send and read emails? Mutt?
You haven't given any mechanism that would make this happen. Specifically, some reason that the company would see contributing be beneficial to it. Of course, it benefits from the existence of open-source as a whole, but what material difference does its contribution make?

Take a small-medium sized business (say 5 - 50€ million annual revenue). Perhaps it can fund one library that is critical to it, but no contribution it makes will make a material difference to the trajectory of major products like Linux, or Python.

I think this may be a sign you are ready for a higher executive or director position but like many of us simply enjoy doing the work still.
I faced a similar existential crisis as a generalist that ultimately led me to realizing I am an innovation strategist before a designer, engineer, or solutions architect. When a generalist crosses many silos with specialized knowledge and expertise in each the smart move in my opinion is to lean into it with a better defined role. Business consultant, solutions architect, innovation strategist, CTO and so on…

I think more specifically, they were going for "any point since the advent of modern democracy."

And obviously before that, but the assumption of who government was responsible to underwent a massive paradigm shift. "Gee, Charlemagne doesn't seem to have the interests of us serfs in mind" wouldn't have been a very interesting conversation back in the day.
The Contender: The Story of Marlon Brando is a great read. He was also highly acclaimed as a stage actor before all this.

Updates on my Indie hacker journey
Awesome, thanks! I update it whenever I work with it, which has ramped up in the last few weeks (added cast support a few days ago). It uses pg_analyse to parse the SQL and uses a few tricks to get everything updated.

The best thing (IMO) is that there is basically no funny stuff, no filename conventions, no funny delimiters. It’s just regular Postgres SQL, and a couple of very small config files. Works perfectly with git.
I am vehemently on the side against cars, but I will wholeheartedly refute that our summer weather can be worked around with clothing. It's far too hot and humid for that to do anything.

then removed roles from dump (because the fluctuated between developers)
and executed

perl -000 -i -lne 'print if ! /^--/ && ! /^SET /' `find schema/ -name '*.sql'` || exit 1

to remove a lot of useless comments and flags from the dump (pg_dump output isn't too readable). This oneliner can strip too much, though, comments in functions shouldn't start from the 0 column.

The same script had been run on CI too, to verify that developer didn't forget to run it in the PR.
