That's not a fair comparison at all.

Making people who paid off their loans now pay off other people's loans as well (through taxes) is more like sending the first guy back to prison because the second guy is selling it from a store front.
Well that's an easy fix right there. In the US you pay property taxes regardless.
> Signed by "The Occupiers", the notice ... claimed any attempt to enter the premises without their permission was a criminal offence and could result in a prison sentence or fine.

This is insane that squatting is not a criminal offense and that they can even argue that forceful eviction by the owner would be a criminal offense
It's worth pointing out that this post is written from the point of view of a US startup. If you are in the UK, just say no to stock options and ask for a salary that matches the market. UK startups keep on trying to get people to work for less with the promise of stock options despite there being little recent evidence of UK startups IPO-ing. I got screwed on startup stock options in the past, but not as badly as people who invested 5+ years of their lives into the company. The founder got enough to not have to work for the rest of his life, but the employees got zero pennies when the business was sold to competition. Stock options are not even a gamble, they are an IQ test, if you accept them you have failed.
Kate was one of the main reasons I switched to Linux in 2004/2005.

I had a lab in MySQL, and back then, the only option to develop in Windows was MySQL Workbench, which was as heavy as it got. Running an SQL statement was painfully slow, and iteration cycles were huge.

In Linux, you would write your SQL in Kate, and run MySQL's cli in the embedded terminal. Once ready, you would click the button “pipe to terminal". Instant run. What took many minutes in Windows took less than 2 seconds in Linux. How can you not love this?

Another reason was Amarok, an (the) mp3 player. Do you like how Spotify and other providers create automatically infinite playlists, radios, etc based on your tastes? Yes, KDE had this since 2002 I think? It was first copied by iTunes, then by Spotify, and now is considered a standard function. :)
Great tips, thank you! The thing is, getting maximum throughput is not the goal of the project (at least not at this stage). I'm using reasonable SQLite defaults (including WAL), but that's it for now.
So when they finally find a buyer or someone to take the lease, the squatters will peacefully move out?
Property law is abysmal in the UK, the fact that the squatters stuck up a sign on the wall naming their rights to occupy, just shows what a joke it is. I dont agree with property being left empty, but there is due process to these things, and the average worker has to suffer through all of it to even get one home.

If no one is buying at the current price then thats the market saying the fair price is lower, and perhaps it should just go to auction. I'm sure it's pocket change to Ramsey, but it set's an ugly precedent letting this go forth.

If you sit on a train without a ticket it's a jailable offence. How is breaking into someone's property and living there not completely illegal? It's completely inconsistent and squatting is a real problem here.
As always it’s easy to overlook the insider threat. Grammatically dubious extortion emai? Bitcoin ransom? Did it not occur to you that the cat was the one behind the attack?
Business expenses are tax deductible too. Businesses essentially only pay income tax on net profit.
Even just using a different DNS can be enough. A certain popular movie uploader is/was blocked by my ISP at the DNS level but worked fine once I changed to OpenDNS.
Yeah, but basically all of that comes from post 2000.

Information production seems to be on an exponential curve, so it won't be that long before you're training on a minority of all data.

> When it starts to rain metal, aka the Kessler syndrome

That's not the Kessler syndrome [1]. You're describing orbital debris incompletely burning up in the atmosphere. Kessler syndrome would be caused by the opposite: debris staying in orbit.

Also, the Kessler syndrome isn't real. Space is big. The volume contained between any two orbits are massively larger than the surface of the Earth. Kessler effects, i.e. orbital debris impacting other satellites, thereby creating more debris, are real. But they stop escalating pretty quickly, and in no case deny orbital access.

I come from a vim background and have used vscode and intellij as well. But picked up emacs solely due to magit. A coworker showed me it and I have to say it’s really amazing. Nothing really compares to it, the closest I’ve seen are the cli tools “tig” and “lazygit” but magit really outshines them feature wise.

There’s nothing “similar” to it but vscode does have git tools, it just feels really clunky to use imo. Same goes for intellij’s UI. I guess it works for some people but they sort of just hurt my head to look at.

Probably weaker, because that's how compromises work.
A notable exception being the use of a VPN to access region-protected content.

Google results were rather like this in the golden age of Google searches. But the bad results can give you an idea of how to tweak your search to get what you're actually looking for.

The modern, more polished Google search can make it literally impossible to find things that exist, because Google tries too hard to provide what it thinks you're looking for.

I built a similar tool last year that doesn't have those features:
https://url2text.com/

Apologies if the UI is slow - you can see some example output on the homepage.

The API it's built on is Urlbox's website screenshot API which performs far better when used directly. You can request markdown along with JS rendered HTML, metadata and screenshot all in one go:
https://urlbox.com/extracting-text

You can even have it all saved directly to your S3-compatible storage:
https://urlbox.com/s3

And/or delivered by webhook:
https://urlbox.com/webhooks

I've been running over 1 million renders per month using Urlbox's markdown feature for a side project. It's so much better using markdown like this for embeddings and in prompts.

If you want to scrape whole websites like this you might also want to checkout this new tool by dctanner:

This. As Borg it is a thing to behold but when people think they know 'scale' but don't really, well then it seems very over engineered.
Thanks for the cordial dialogue.

What do you mean by this? I don't think I quite follow.
Remember where she is from. Nuff said.
In fact, that’s how US laws were intended to work. Federal gives guidelines that apply to all states. The states narrow the scope for any issues that arise.
I have a lot of experience pair programming and I definitely find that minimizing the friction to switch driver is a huge deal. Especially when knowledge-sharing or mentoring across experience divides, being able to take over for a few seconds but then fluidly hand control back just makes it not feel like a big deal for either person.

In non-remote jobs I would always set up my station with two keyboards and two mice for this reason. Now that I work remote I always keep VS code configured for the codebase and use it for pairing. Even though my personal editor is, yes, emacs.
What's a little frustrating with current webdev state if that there is no silver bullet. I can easily think of use case where a Django+htmx stack is much more relevant than a React/Vue one, but the opposite is true too.

People keep genuinely saying it's a good thing to have many tools to apply to the right usage. Personnaly, constantly switching from htmx to vue.js just fucks my brain.

I miss the time where I used Django or Rails and didn't need to ask myself all these questions.

as with most roles, I think it is negotiable. You have your professional leverage, expected pay and grit. you need to balance these things.

Yeah. It's her pet issue. Much like term limits and many other things for other elected representatives, if they actually addressed the issue there would be no reason to vote for her any more.
The point is that the basic Emacs shortcuts don’t work in VS or VSCode. Also your solution does nothing for the “temptation” to use Windows shortcuts in Emacs. There are ways of working around both of these problems with enough effort, but these workaround get exhausting and it becomes easier to just stop using Emacs.
Lots of the C++ standard library, including the STL containers isn't provided in freestanding C++. Now, in reality freestanding C++ has been kind of a joke - the committee for years barely bothered to keep it working - especially compared to freestanding C (which is well defined and used all over the place) and say Rust no_std (likewise) - and so many embedded systems may have the entire standard library notionally available even though parts of it are definitely nonsense for them and they've got local rules saying not to use the parts that would definitely explode in their environment... but many C++ programmers who have worked under such rules just reflexively avoid the STL's containers and maybe its algorithms even in an environment where those would work.
Is this not a solved problem in the frontend/backend world? Are there not plug and play libraries for auth on the backend and frontend for every popular language?
> pocket change to Ramsey

He does not own the property.
IDK if needs to be reasoned or not. I'm imagining someone making these comments to the author's face after having been read the article. The 'callous' part comes from disregarding everything in the article to go on some great tangent about the AMA and artificial scarcity of doctors.

What's more, it seems that this article has triggered a reflexive anti-union stance, when it's more a hallmark of a place where capitalism does not work well. Why doesn't that hospital have more doctors? Surely, they could have found someone additional if they wanted. The hospital did not have to schedule every surgery as if they all required the average procedure time. The hospital could invest in better IT infrastructure and have software that was not a drag to use. Surely the hospital could have someone help the doctor not make 70+ calls over the course of a shift in addition to everything else they do. This blog post is not about a general scarcity of doctors; there's lots that could be done by the hospital investing in its staff and outcomes without hiring a single additional doctor.
Well since those two things are at odds and you haven’t explained your stance more, your comment effectively serves as flamebait.

Depends on what kind of help you need.
Interesting! Just over the past month, I've reduced my emacs usage a lot. I'd switched to VSCode for most coding a while ago, but I still kept my daily journal notes in org-mode, but I recently switched to Logseq for that.

I don't know if I'll stick with it, or if it'll get sluggish after a while, but right now the searching, rich-text, and pdf-annotation seems refreshing.

This isn't how politics works. Issues can bring someone into office. They rarely remove them from them.

Cantwell is kept in office by the machine she built. If she delivered to that machine, she'd gain from it, not lose. The only thing she would be doing by "saving" an issue is telegraphing to a primary competitor that there are chips on the table.

wrt feeling, fully agree, I think it happens to most of us, if not all.

But I believe you don't really have a say in the matter. I'm not sure you should be supposed to feel one way or another. You can only accept your feelings as is and others should accept how you feel too.

I think especially when someone close die, it is well known each of us has their own personal / specific way of reacting.

(of course you can prepare yourself to face expected situations to some extent; also of course, if you don't feel well you should seek help, especially if it lasts)
This conundrum reminds me of a thought experiment. You have people use a mental illness as a defense in courts of law. But could you not plausibly define anyone who commits major crimes to be mental ill? Mental illness could also be defined by a person's ability to function in their community and social constructs. But a healthy species, evolutionary speaking, requires these outliers. These deviations from the "norm" offer the species a safety net should conditions change rapidly. Should we really be trying to herd everyone back to a norm?

Also, psychology is a dying profession. A mental illness is described as a set of symptoms manifested from physical biological systems we don't fully understand yet. But once understood, psychology becomes obsolete.
Does anyone have a link to a prediction Gary Marcus made more than 24 months ago that turned out correct?
That's not necessarily true in the US. Federal law can either preempt state law, meaning that states are not permitted to pass stricter or less strict laws in an area (e.g., copyright and patent law), or not, meaning that states are free to pass stricter laws.
Trespassing is a criminal offense, right?
You mean that if I have a place and leave it empty for any reason, then it can be squatted, and this is perfectly legal?

> researchers publishing how to create good software

I disagree that this is what researchers are doing (at least from my point of view). This is actually an area where I agree with the article, there's a gigantic gulf between researchers and practitioners. The things that academia puts out are not, generally, what I would consider to be good software.

I think this fundamentally comes down to a difference in the definition of "good" between the two camps. So far as I can tell (not being an academic), the academic definition of "good" seems to revolve around software having certain provable characteristics. My definition of good software involves the software exhibiting useful characteristics. And those are, generally speaking, orthogonal. If not sometimes inhibiting each other.

But, of course I would think this, I'm a practitioner. The academics probably have similar complaints about me.
FB has been a little creepy about death. A FB "friend" (e.g. not a close friend) had died and about a year later FB started exhorting me to reconnect with him. I located his obituary and memorialized his account out of respect.

Too many times I've been invited to wish a deceased friend "happy birthday." I go to their page and find it memorialized. Nevertheless, there are many friends wishing them happy birthday, oblivious to the indication that the page has been memorialized.

The worse was the time my wife discovered her brother had died via FB. He had estranged himself from the family decades earlier, but still... A shared friend posted the status to his page, otherwise we might never have found out.

More that I think that the first 2 or 4 years of school should just be free if you want it. Than even higher education beyond an associates or a bachelors is where you start talking about loans but with that degree you may be able to get a job matching your degree and you can work something other than minimum wage while in school.

But if we can't fix the core issues with school, I am not betting on that one happening either.
