Before I started my first tech job many years ago I was quite stressed. I felt behind constantly and I was worried everyone would be so much better than me so I over compensated by reading every tech book I could get my hands on. I threw myself into them and flat out memorized and experimented with the content until I knew it through and through.

Turns out I had nothing to worry about. In my entire career I've met one guy that was ever "on my level".

I'd say yes-- book reading can help, but the dread of not being enough shouldn't be a part of it. Most tech people don't read. Most tech people don't code before 9AM or after 5PM. Most have never heard of hacker news. You're going to be o.k.

> it may be caused by fear of outages

My only experience with anything close to this is website SSL certs. Back in the day, we used to renew certs from once a year, to as long as once every five years. It was somewhat normal for certs to expire and things to go awry. Then Let's Encrypt came along with certs that expire in 90 days. I believe the thinking was that a shorter period would ensure that systems and org processes were always ready for certificate regeneration, to avoid outages.

My question is the case of Azure AD, is the design of a system where rotating a key would cause an outage, a bad design which is avoidable?

And the answer is Microsoft. They already had an extension for coroutines in their compiler before the standard, the standard is not very different from their original implementation (albeit there are differences), and you can almost always see at least one @ms address in all the discussions.
I wish it had logical locks where you didn’t need to lock a particular row. Instead you’d just specify a string and lock on it and then execute your application code. Would be useful for distributed locks, or for transactions that may conflict with another so you take the logical lock in the application code before proceeding.
You are a very strange person.
Yes that's an even better idea -- less intrusive if there are worries about steel beams destroying the visual beauty of the old bridges.

Any or both of these ideas could be implemented for much less cost than bridge repairs and closures, I feel.

I tried most of them.

It's a little bit different but Astroid is great and my favorite GUI desktop client right now. Lightweight, flexible and renders html all right. It uses notmuch, which takes a little bit of setup but in return you get really good search which I never felt a need to tune. You should also try out if either thunderbird, evolution or kmail does it for you.

If you're up for terminal, aerc (optionally supports notmuch).

roundcube for self-hosted webmail. cypht could also be worth checking out. maybe later on mailpile when/if they get their 2.0 out.
> Big snowflake(s), medium snowflake, small snowflake on the dial.

If you live in a snow-prone area you'll know that large snowflakes (which are actually clumps of flakes which happened to meet and merge on the way down) mean higher temperatures while small flakes equate to lower temperatures. So... Put it on the big flake to raise the temperature?
Where does one begin learning enough music to make interesting things with a tool like this?

Coroutines are low-level building blocks for various asynchronous models.

C++23 introduces std::generator which is roughly similar to Python and JavaScript generators, implemented on top of coroutines. If that model fits your application, you don’t need to mess with the coro API directly.
Okay, so I thought I would check this in my "gps" and I see OsmAnd+ from f-droid lets you enter vehicle parameters, including height, and will avoid low overpasses, given the height restriction is tagged in OSM data. You can also enter a type of vehicke and the navigation will avoid roads you shouldn't enter (dangerous load, no entrance for HGV, etc.).
Those drivers should just use a better software.

> Intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population as such or against individual civilians not taking direct part in hostilities;

It's clear the the wholesale bombing of communities is occurring. Whole families are being extinguished because they've been seen with a military target.

The first five all seem to apply. It's hard to say exactly where the IDF the blame lies but a decision is being made at some level to wilfully ignore the suffering brought to millions of Gaza's inhabitants. It seems an AI has been left to make some of those decisions. It's not good enough.

Edit: I'm not trying to be facetious or sardonic. I understand urban warfare makes adhering to international law incredibly hard for Israel, but stories like this show that they are not taking even the most reasonable steps to avoid civilian deaths, indeed a lot of their choices seem to rely on civilian suffering to ensure the clearing of Gaza.

We barely trust an AI to take an exit without crashing into a divider, AI hallucinations paired with a poor remit in Gaza mean three generations get wiped out overnight.
Current LLMs cannot "actively participate in the real world" as humans do because they cannot actively learn from their interaction with the real world. Their weights are fixed. Their further training and finetuning is mediated by external mechanisms. It has nothing to do with what "people here" want.

The current $0/month price missed a key sales argument: "The links will still work in 5 years". With bitly I'm reasonably sure the links will work because they make money from it. A linkedin link that doesn't work, the missing privacy policy is all hints to users it's brand new (well, yes, because it is) and might not be around long. No amount of comparison pages can fix that.

> You'd already know that if you'd bothered to read what I wrote instead of whinging about it.

I'll openly admit that I often don't read things carefully but in this case I don't believe you were making things clear at all. Quoting stuff in Greek to me doesn't actually help comprehension.

> Your turn. Answer me this: Who did I call the elephants, and who did I call the grass?

You said "My position[0] is: When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers" which you then said of "(Answer: civilians are the grass, combatants are the elephants — and it case even that was not clear, note that I did not say whose civilians and whose combatants, this is deliberated because the answer to that is simply "yes")."

And this is a relevant because you are trying to spread the blame among civilians, instead of clearly saying which civilians.

The Hamas attack on civilians killed/injured about 4,600 I think <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Hamas-led_attack_on_Israe...>

As of yesterday, over 33,000 Palestinians had been killed and 75,000 injured. There is deliberate starvation brewing over there and the hospitals had been mostly or entirely smashed. Israel has committed war crimes. The IDF are turning a blind eye or even helping illegal settlers on Palestinian land. There's more.

Just because there is blame on both sides doesn't mean the blame is equal on both sides.

A few months ago I had some issues with build performance. We're on the free plan with Github so using custom runners is not an issue. But I found a nice workaround:

- create a virtual machine with everything you need in gcloud (would work for aws as well). Pick something nice and fast. Suspend it.

- in your github action, resume the vm, ssh into it to run your build script, and suspend it afterwards.

Super easy to implement and easy to script using gcloud commands. It adds about 30 seconds of time to the build for starting the vm. On the machine, we simply pull from git and checkout the relevant branch. Doesn't work for concurrent builds but it's a nice low tech solution. And you only pay for the time the machine is up and running, which is a few minutes per day. So, you can get away with using vms that have lots of CPU and memory.

I think moving on is the goal for everyone. You're fortunate to have sufficient internal insight plus resilience to do that on your own. I have, too - although I've also had the advantage of caring and insightful friends and partners, so I can't take all of the credit for myself. Not everyone has the same internal or communal resources, though, (or else may have really outside the norm experiences - like the kids in TFA), which is where professional help becomes important.

"Talk therapy" is a super generic term, and approaches are by no means the same. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has good results in multiple studies. Read something about it, and if you think it could be an interesting experience - just like a sports massage can be good, even if you're not rehabbing a specific injury - you might give it a try.
> My guess is LAPD deals with drugged up violent stupid crime every day and some nut job homeless guy making crazy claims 99.99% of the time is just crazy, so why bother?

No, something more than that went wrong. From the article:

>> The real Woods was arrested and charged with identity theft and false impersonation, under a misspelling of Keirans’ name: Matthew Kierans.

I would bet that Woods did not supply that name to the authorities. (How would he have known it?) It had to have come from Keirans. But that changes the story from "some nut job homeless guy making crazy claims" to "a dispute between two people who know each other".
Ruminating, the definition I'm using, is a colloquialism meaning to just bring the same thing up over and over again. There isn't a positive outcome in mind. It's just bringing it up over and over.

Like how ruminates bring up and chew their cud.

It is literally just reliving things for the sake of itself, not to try to intentionally work through anything.
Well, if I don't trust them at all with it, then I simply wouldn't buy the headset (it's inoperable without it).

But at the moment, one of the biggest selling points for Apple is privacy and the responsible handling of your data, so out of most other similar organisations I believe they have an immense financial incentive to safeguard the data. And I think their actions so far speak to this being a critical strategy to the success of their business.

Regardless, whether or not I trust Apple with it, it's certainly a lot easier to trust just Apple, rather than Apple plus hundreds/thousands/hundreds of thousands of others whose incentives are much less clearly aligned.
I agree with you. I never liked how AI is really generating ton of code for us, then you need to read through it and understand it. Plus, the fail rate is to high.

That is why I design the language the way it is. You must define each step you want to happen in your application. Lets take for example user registration, it looks like this

--- plang code ---

CreateUser

- Make sure %password% and %email% is not empty

- Hash %password%, write to %hashedPassword%

- Insert into users, %hashedPassword%, %email%

- Post, create user in MailChimp, Bearer:%Settings.MailChimpApi%, %email%

- Create bearer token from %email%, write to %bearer%

- Write %bearer% to web response

--- plang code ---

That is an executable code in plang. It's easy to read through and understand. You need to have domain knowledge, such as what is hashing and bearer token. You are still programming, just at higher level.

Validating what will execute, you need to learn, just like with any language, but it is relatively simple and you start to trust the result with time(at least I have)

Compared to the 130 lines or so of code in C# for the same logic, https://gist.github.com/ingig/491ac9b13d65f40cc24ee5aed0408b...

What a surprise that you are also a reader of books rather than other content: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/7288759-vasco

Reading a book is arguably easier than reading technical content or other articles, because they don't tend to be as information dense.

I prefer reading things like this: https://commoncog.com/becoming-data-driven-in-business/

But someone might like reading documentation for e.g. databases, which is also extremely information dense. I have briefly done this (https://turbopuffer.com/docs) and read other database content (https://artem.krylysov.com/blog/2023/04/19/how-rocksdb-works...), but it's not my favourite content.

Really weird to say "you read X, I read Y. We are not the same" and then follow-up with "oh but it's fine, you don't have to. But I'm X and you're Y".

I could replace a few words in your comment and make it about thinking reading books is the same as reading extremely dense technical content. It's a silly argument.
> It doesn't make other people poorer. It protects assets from creditors.

Just did! :-)
I think it's likely that the WHO is considering people like me in their recommendation.

I have friends who can drink a beer, maybe two, and be quite happy and satisfied. This is a phenomenon I have never been able to understand, because even a small amount of alcohol switches my reward system to REQUIRE more.

If I have zero alcohol, I'm fine. But if I have one beer, I WILL have 7 more. For some portion of the human population (I've seen estimates at 15-20%), the concept of moderation is impossible - and for us, zero is the correct amount.

If the WHO said "drink moderately if you don't experience dopaminergic response to ethanol, but drink zero if you do", it would be more nuanced and accurate, but public health organizations need to target their recommendations to the LCD, as simply as possible.

It's the same as dietary cholesterol and salt. No health organization is going to say "run a double-blind study on yourself to find out if you are part of the population for whom dietary cholesterol impacts serum cholesterol, or sodium intake affects blood pressure, then consult this chart to see what our recommendation is for you" Instead they'll just say GROG SAY SALT AND EGGS BAD, NO EAT.
