I don't think it needs to be "wife" other than to rhyme. Having a happy partner instead of an unhappy partner (regardless of gender) is certainly better (speaking from experience).

This matters in business too.
> The only reason that's ever been explained to me is that the cost of competing for talent is higher in those areas than others.

You are looking for stability-based economics and wondering why your conclusions don't appear in reality. Well, it's because your economics are wrong.

They pay more there exactly because there is larger competition. And they hire there because that's where their money come from and where they started hiring before going global. If they reseted their hiring choices and had to do all of them again now with the current company, they would be better off hiring at cheaper places and not having anybody on the more expensive ones, of course. But the sheer absurdity of that conditional should be enough reason for you to see it won't happen.
Better protections for men from the social consequences that some women architect purely out of spite would go a long way.

I’m often in awe that we can both propose equal rights and responsibilities and sympathetically treat forty-year-old adults as children in these situations, but only if they belong to one sex. The other sex gets disgust or at best pity.
~20 years ago I met a wonderful older couple: she was an astronomer and programmer who was actively engaged with the Debian community, and I can't recall his profession, but he was clearly delighted to support her interests.

It was inspiring to see a couple who actively supported each other's hobbies and careers, who engaged with each others' professional communities.
So the teenager allegedly tried to murder him 47 times! using the police. And somebody in their circle claimed that this will not stop until he was killed?. Wow.

If the culprit was this child's, he is seriously broken inside, and will end very bad.

Their parents should pay for each time the police is mobilized for nothing, and the child should be forbidden by a judge to have access to any phone, computer or tablet for a decade [1].

So if you self-host you still have to pay to have 2FA?
>I live in a country where most international companies pay less than the US and even the EU average.

Can I ask which country?
IMO just join a private group and use Plex.

You'll never have any ISP woes/issues.
It’s also a bit wild to cite one data point of an unexpected state change and use it to assume with such confidence that another one will occur.
If it’s bargaining power, then it’s a power dynamic that may merit being called out, just like gaps in pay by other characteristics.

Some of those characteristics were given protection in law after enough noise was made.
Not everyone can be effective at both. I learned that I can be a great leader, but I do not have the patience required to manage people. I have had managers that were terrible leaders. Definitely different skills, and you need both to climb the ladder into the C-suite.
Thanks for the response. The more I look into EVs the more they seem just impractical to me given our current infrastructure. Even with the ability to install a level 2 charger at home, it seems scary to make long trips. I'm seeing a bunch of issues with these cars 12V batteries also.
The other big news item is the fact a former Stride dev is making the editor cross-platform by using porting the WPF code to Avalonia.

How large could these cubes scale?
Call me reckless, but I'd totally pay to climb a bigger one, with holds along the edges. I just wanna feel how it responds to my movements.
I just want to second this. I search “name” LinkedIn whenever I don’t know who people in a meeting are. It is extremely rare that the LinkedIn doesn’t provide some useful info.

Much easier to answer questions at the right level of detail when you know the audience.
"Feature: Add Support for F# and VB Project Types: Stride now welcomes developers using F# and Visual Basic, offering support for code-only projects in these languages."

This could tempt me into trying it out. The F# support, that is, not Visual Basic.
Always an option, but I dislike changing global settings on the system. It makes it harder to hop between projects and it's slower when onboarding.
I'm a big fan of Turn the Ship Around! By L. David Marquet as fun read that shows what some good leadership can do by pushing responsibility to the lowest appropriate level in an organisation.

The anecdotes are good fun. I've not used it specifically as a model but I like the general principles it represents.

I think it is important to have a few passwords that have memorized. The most important one for me is Google, cause then can reset passwords with Gmail. I don't store them in password manager.

They could have a much cheaper office in Vienna though - if the U.N. backdrop was a main motivator.

Not seeing too many international career opportunities here, sadly.
It is likely, but the same set of utilities work on Linux Mint flawlessly.

I've tried a fair bit of troubleshooting with no luck and eventually given up on getting it running on XFCE.

That the masts are tall so that the ends of the propeller blades won't touch the ground.
I guess I have watched Apollo 13 too many times and was under the mistaken impression spacecraft still used propellant thrusters for attitude control.
So, there are loads of half baked "measure your sleep"be devices/tools out there, does anyone know which heads scientific backing? Citations please!
How do you measure good sleep to begin with?
Happy wife happy life is a lie.

Being a doormat to your partner is a great way to end up miserable.

You will have arguments and challenges. Those are good things and sometimes it needs to be said and worked out .

Marriage was always a partnership and a business in the past. Treat it as such anx you'll find it works way better.
Strange — I swear this wasn't the case. I and several other devs tried for a good three weeks to get Javalin to accept such route bindings. This was a year or two ago, though. Maybe the interface type for a handler function was changed in some more recent version of Javalin?
Especially if things enter the very strange territory, like NTP running wild.

I pretty much remember some time ago, one of our customers had trouble with our on-prem installation. Eventually it seemed that the database had been corrupted. At that point I could tell the poor guy on the other side was running what I was doing with my colleague on a couple of other, similar systems, but I noted he was getting pretty nervous so I figured as long as the clock runs, whatever. It's kinda what I do a lot at work and I don't like letting people in the rain like that.

And eventually we could confirm that large amounts of VMDKs had been corrupted in various ways. Seemed like another vendor hat let the SAN they were managing run full or into some other catastrophic situation. And their backup appliance also didn't work.

> But here is some truth: a reinstatement of the fruitful XXXY family as a primary goal is needful.

Why not three, or four, adults? Two seems like an arbitrary definition, and larger families can share responsibility more evenly.
Completely true and good advice
I suppose the biggest advantage of a online password manager for non-tech savvy users is the syncing between devices.
If you're patient, you can just hold 'up' anywhere and it will eventually clear the level. It started taking quite awhile at level 20 or so - I got bored and gave up.
What could've been the trigger here?
Yep! A self-balancing cube can definitely be your sixth project, though.
The versions are the same? Maybe its time for a bug report to blueman or your distro.
That's true, but a digital nomad could choose to work as an independent contractor, where tax burdens are mostly on them. They can choose to manage their finances in one country, while living in another. Or work as part of an umbrella company, which simplifies legal aspects for their clients.

I agree that it's a somewhat complicated issue, but there are solutions to it if the company wanted to solve it. Besides, these cases are rare and not many people will choose to live this way, so it's not the most pressing matter in this discussion.
I'd love to hear the bull case for standalone vector DBs at this point. After exploring a few, there's not much differentiation from what's offered here (beyond maybe a nicer developer experience than GCP's) and I'd expect many other DBs/data warehouse to follow the same path as BigQuery has.

It looks like there's still plenty of hard problems in the indexing side of RAG and so maybe the vector DB that leans hard in that direction will carve out something defensible? Outside that, can't find a good reason to standup yet another piece of infrastructure purely for vector search.
While we can never know the motivations of the people who were burned alive as part of their rescue, we can in fact know the motivations of the feds because it was all pretty well documented. They were concerned that the branch dividians had illegal weapons. They never once mentioned any other motivation in any warrant application, memo, or otherwise. There was some frantic post hoc invented pearl clutching after the operation was bungled at a truely unprecedented level and excuses were needed to prevent embarrassment of powerful people, but none of that came up before the feds killed a bunch of children and needed to make a case why that was nessessary and part of a professional and skilled law enforcement operation.

There is a reason that event inspired generations of domestic terrorists, and it was not because the feds had the moral high ground and executed an efficient, well planned and researched operation.The overwhelming evidence is that Waco was about ATF agents getting to finally cosplay some of their deepest fan fictions and it got people killed. It was the moral equivalent of dropping a 1000 ton bomb on a crowded village in the middle east and being shocked when it produced a generation of fanatic jihadists. It was one of the stupidest and least professional things the feds have ever done, and that's an illustrious list.
Yeah it’s kind of the wife’s job to make herself happy. I mean it’s probably not in traditional wedding vows for a reason.
It goes both ways, there just isn’t a cute rhyme for husband.
>The best way to manage those people is to fire them as fast as possible.

Depending on the country you're in, this can be really difficult legally.
Honest question, is there any possibility of easily installing Linux on a Chromebook?
It's OK, it's Linux, things will always be forked to keep some users happy which is how Mate exists. Other projects will come with the aim to keep X11 alive for that niche who wants it.
But there’s no benefit to Gitlab or to society in general for Gitlab to subsidize people to move to countries where they can be rich compared to the locals. It’s a personal obstacle to working at Gitlab, not a problem with the setup.
There is plenty of software that can do imputation for you. Video of how to do it in our Easy Data Transform software at:

Is is jaw-dropping that a professor would use Excel auto-fill.
you’re right, disclaimer: I am the founder

not unless these values are provided by technical decisions over policies or promises.

in acreom’s case, you own the software as well as your data and there’s not much we can do about it since we built it that way (local-first, offline with optional sync, e2ee, markdown without any acreom specific formatting)
A non-conspiratorial hunch is that the actual success rate of teaching reading wasn't considered good enough (perhaps far short of 100% literacy) and educators went looking for something different that might be better. "Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetency." I've also heard rumors that countries with pictographic languages have higher literacy rates.

Yet I'm still as puzzled as you are. I'm not homeschooled pe se, but learned to read at home, as did my mom. In our culture, it was just how things were done. You learned to read when you were ready. My mom taught my brothers and me from reproductions of some schoolbooks from the 18th century, plus stuff from the public library. Later on, my spouse and I taught our kids in the same way.

From my standpoint, "phonics" made sense, as it used a built-in feature of the language, and thus didn't really need any kind of formal method. Also, it lent itself to one-on-one with the kids because we were sitting and reading to them anyway. It was easy to stop, point to a word, and ask them to sound it out.

My kids went to a public school with a high population of educated parents, and the majority of kids were reading by the start of kindergarten, for many it was their second language.
I'd like to see some counterpoints. Which startups have been around for 15 years, took a bunch of VC money, but are as good to their users now as they've ever been?

It's got to be a short list.
You're collateral damage
From the articles I've read it's largely this. There are a percentage of kids that have other underlying issues that get in the way of learning in general, not just phonics in particular.

Dyslexia (which is often exacerbated by "whole word" methods), and ADHD (which is more often a food allergy than a real disorder that needs medication) do account for some. But in most of those cases it's a matter of... higher effort. Parents need to do more to provide the environment if they can, or hunt down and resolve the food allergy, or just push their children. School districts can spend more on qualified teachers.

I'd speculate that 25% could be knocked down to 5% if we as a culture sat up and worked at it. But it requires a consensus reality, and broad alignment. Difficult. The best we can do at the moment is to spread the evidence and do right by our own children.

(My mother was a K-12 school teacher in the Detroit school system for ~30 years. She's seen all the fads come and go. Phonics is not a fad; it works.)
Really interesting mix of npm packages, gulpfiles, jshint, both underscore and lodash, backbone.js, some stuff i've never really heard of like nedb which is probably because its more specific to electron. It actually uses node-webkit NW.js instead of electron.

It's an interesting mix of new and old things as a project that likely has changed hands many times. Like dayjs is pretty new.
“People don’t leave bad companies, they leave bad managers”, an aphorism that ringers truer with every departure I observe.

(But I also see how the incentives of the org can erode at the energy put into cultivating management skills and prioritisation of effective management work.)

I mean you just compared a wife to a business partner so that’s not a great sign.
I don’t know if this is really universally true. But I do expect there are large pockets of the population for which it is. For me I have a number of male and female friends that are emotionally supportive, my parents are good in this regard as well.
My experience regarding the servant manager is that it is really important that you also figure out what is in it for you.

There is a big risk that your career stops at that - being a servant.
Shirts and pants have existed a long time, but clothing designers still design new ones. This isn't an exact copy of someone else's, it just uses the same principles, so yes, it is "designed".
“If you are profiting from being unhappy you will find ways and reasons to be unhappy.”

I believe the idea expressed in ‘appetite comes with eating’ is that your desire to indulge in an activity is correlated (caused even) with that activity. IE skydivers will likely have a larger appetite or desire for skydiving than a layman.

In a larger context I believe cjbgkagh is arguing that women can retain an advantageous position in a marriage by pretending or presenting unhappiness because exiting a marital contract would be an especially poor outcome her partner.
People want to have their cake and eat it too, it seems.
When you enter into a marriage contract you are taking on risks in return for rewards. Trying to de-risk marriage for women will likely end up causing a whole bunch of other issues. Men should also be protected from marriage fraud and paternity fraud.
I've been using Kagi for almost a year now and I have to say I don't miss Google search even one bit.
Not sure about the older versions of Javalin, but from my experience with v5+ it just uses regular Single Abstract Method conversion for the Handler interface, which has a single method with just one parameter (the Context).

I’m guessing that’s what their $20/year is for. GitHub pages lets you use your own domain once you buy it.
It is obviously a nonsense number for headlines IMO.

The entire Abu Dhabi Investment Authority sovereign wealth fund isn't even 1 trillion.

7 belt and road initiatives?

The simple explanation is that our media is mind numbing trash that has little to do with reality other than we wouldn't be talking about this if it wasn't for the fake 7 trillion dollar number.
Being bootstrapped doesn’t somehow absolve founders of that. It’s a false sense of security.

VC-backed companies eventually exit, yes, but bootstrapped companies often just… die.

And, plenty of VC-backed companies do not commit the cardinal sins described in this article; lock-in, anti-user practices, and so on. I ran a VC-backed cybersecurity company for nearly 10 years, and we never engaged in any bad-for-the-user chicanery, and our VCs never pushed us to.

This is an article to promote Obsidian (which is fine, and I have on my list to try) but on very shaky ground. Being bootstrapped, in and of itself, does not somehow imply Obsidian will be around longer or less crappy to their users.

It’s entirely about the founders and what they prioritize; not how they got their funding.
I switched to Kagi and am it's definitely better imo, though doesn't feel nearly as good as Google from ~10 years ago.

Why do you say that they're anti-men?

Why are they out of bounds? What would make a reasonable child support payment service?
Sure, a company can hire you as a contractor although that probably comes with downsides from benefit/stability/etc. perspectives. It's probably how you have to do things though if you really want to be a digital nomad.
I just want you to know how hard I'm going to steal this and pretend I invented it when people think its clever.
The cookie support seems lackcluster. I'd prefer good support for real cookies instead of "stuff JSON into a single cookie".

Also the URL parameter API is clumbersome:

Integer myValue = ctx.queryParamAsClass("value", Integer.class).getOrDefault(788) // validate value

I would prefer some specialized API like:

int myValue = ctx.queryParamAsInt("value", 788);
Nowadays I prefer starting with a microprofile subset consisting of jersey+jetty offering the standard JAX-RS APIs.

Is really lightweight at only 6MiBs shaded and grows opportunistically into the microprofile stack of quarkus etc. - you can even integrate the jax-rs bits into spring if you want.
Microprofile has a bunch of standards compliant implementations, so you aren't locked into a specific implementation project.

I think the option is overlooked because the landscape is complex and this setup doesn't have a marketing name, but it is very stable and polished.

You also get IDE support, because JAX-RS is part of microprofile, and formerly part of JavaEE.
The homogeneity of a JavaScript codebase has a tenth the half-life of an "enterprise" lang/framework.

IMO this is because the JavaScript ecosystem is speedrunning the decades of lessons learned by the greater software engineering field.
Maybe there is something wrong with the way you form your queries. Give us some examples.

Peopleware is in fact the best I've ever read. The problems of an organization are very rarely technical, and are almost certainly the people.
I know reddit had censored and shut the sub down but in past I used r/plexshare. You probably could just search for one on yandex or something. Google sucks for a search like that. The problem I had with plex was it can at any moment be shut down. Plex is actively looking for those sharing services like this and shutting them down. Then it would be offline from anywhere from 1hr to 12 hours. Usually pretty quick but more then one night I sit to watch my show and it had been shut down. I used a site called all media access I believe and they charged $10 a month. It was however with it in my opinion. They have since moved off plex and on to something like iptv but I just am not with them anymore so don’t know the details. But if I was you check out all media access.

It sound you are looking for datapoint to easier accept your lack of meaning in life. You can also do the opposite and look at the happy partners & families to prove yourself wrong.

But I understand, however I hope you find it, in which way works for you, it does make life much richer.

For me family is one of them & buddhism another one.

If I can give advice, the easiest way to experience meaning is to serve & help others. Easiest is to do voluntary work in obvious helpful things like food serving etc. Something where you just enjoy & give and not think deeper about what the point of it all is.

I think there is quite a bit of nihilism in Western evolutionary materialism (all our feelings are just side effect of evolution). But that's a very limited view on reality. Not sure if that's also part of your experience, but I do see this cause similar feelings to smart & technical people around.
> Principled people have always been able to make principled software. The difference is that now you need far less money and far fewer employees to reach far more customers.

Absolutely. The idea that you need even tens of engineers to make a great product is ridiculous. Scope the product well and know what you’re building. Hire generalists and use boring tech. Profit.
They also used it to prevent others from building anything.
my theory: they're gearing up for the launch of RAG-type search, to compete with ChatGPT. Post-launch, it'll finally give answers instead of links.
