I find it hard to justify that thousands of children killed in the past few months and the countless reports from human rights organizations calling for the abuse that's happening to civilians in Gaza does not constitute genocidal intent. Not only that, but killing people trying to flee the conflict is also something that they've done.

The words themselves of the people in government in Israel very much point to it.

I just invite you to do some research on the topic.

Pipewire being decent at JACK helps, so does using Arch's `linux-rt` kernel package.

There is a former column that was under multiple writers (same name), that did a great expose on IBM and age discrimination, but I don't want to give said column their due since the columnist had other issues.
I'd generalize burden to cost. Difficult problems usually have no good solution. Every option has some cost. Sometimes the cost of continuing to suffer from the problem is (or appears to be) lower than that of solving it.
I look forward to anything better than Github Copilot. The implementation in VSCode is horribly slow, constantly injects a lightning bolt icon near my cursor, and interferes with intellisense-style LSP language hints/docs.

I’ve found it mostly helpful for saving time on obvious boilerplate code, but the annoyances above plus the occasional inexplicable errors it introduces in said boilerplate code, I’ve just cancelled the entire thing.
That's been widely discussed. But it's basically the same end result - for users.
You sound like a home owner.

That's alright. HashiCorp stuff was 2nd tier compared to any offerings from the cloud providers themselves just because those providers' own solutions would get preference (obviously!). And cloud is the environment for 95% of app development these days.

If HashiCorp stuff is destined to die, something else will eventually rise to fill its niche if it's still valuable.

You can always count on technology to churn for no good reason.

To avoid sounding completely pessimestic: don't discount an IBM comeback either, for the same churning reasons.
There are services like this that explain the behavior:

No idea if they work though.

Artists can also pay Spotify to promote their music:

I imagine that boosts “organic” engagement, leading to the same symptoms.

Isn’t that what they are saying, after raising the question of how percentage of DNA differences doesn’t account for the profoundness of our developmental and behavior differences?

That a few key DNA changes could account for profound change? So small percentage differences are no barrier to very different results?

Feels a bit silly to ask such an anecdotal question to somebody I don't know, but is it really better than Google? If you don't consider all the privacy yadda-yadda issues. I mean more like the size of the index, how quickly it updates things, how good is it at actual searching (like finding an almost exact quote which happens to exist on only one obscure site on the internet), stuff like that. I could also mention stuff like blacklisting doorways, but honestly it's less interesting, and I totally believe that it does it better than Google.

Personally, I use DDG on the daily basis, and it's mostly ok, but very-very far from perfect. More so, at least once in several days I have to switch to Google, because it is seriously better at updating the index, and DDG often fails to find something on some obscure forum, even if I know it's there (because I was a part of discussion myself!) and try to assist it with finding it as much as I can. Also, Google is immensely better at knowing local shops and finding products.

Also, Google search, being bad as it is, it still the only thing I find usable on mobile. First off, it's faster, it is integrated nicely into Pixel UI, and it's somewhat good at all these "more than just a search" type of things, like converting a timezone for me, showing wikipedia summary, flight schedule, etc. Also, integration with Google Maps, working hours and venue locations, it is actually far more reliable than, say, Tripadvisor.

Still, I feel reluctant to vendor-locking myself into payed service unless it's actually far better than everything else and can replace DDG and Google completely.

It is, indeed, a fundamental goal of ruby that there are multiple ways to write the same thing, and that the programmer should not need to understand nuances of the compiler.

"I need to guess how the compiler works. If I'm right, and I'm smart enough, it's no problem. But if I'm not smart enough, and I'm really not, it causes confusion. The result will be unexpected for an ordinary person. This is an example of how orthogonality is bad." -matz 2003.

Here's an older post (2015) by the same guy about Hollywood films:

https://stephenfollows.com/how-original-are-hollywood-movies...

> 39% of top movies released 2005-14 were truly original, i.e. not an adaptation, sequel, spin-off, remake, or other such derivative work.

I don't know, I watch most of my movies at home (I have a nice setup) and watch as many old movies as new. I never feel like I have any trouble finding an original film. The blockbusters may soak up all the ticket sales, but there's just no shortage of original films to me.
F22 rated load is 9g continuous (~13g burst) and it's made with mostly Ti64, thermoset composites, and aluminum [1].

Hi all,

I am one of the creators of Pragmatic drag and drop (and react-beautiful-dnd).

Thanks for the post @NeilSmith2048!

I have had a quick read over the comments on this thread, and here is some information that folks might find helpful:

- The web platform has powerful built in drag and drop functionality. Sadly though, that functionality has historically difficult to be successful with due to bugs, inconsistencies and API friction.

- Pragmatic drag and drop is low level wrapper around web platform drag and drop and is attempting to provide a fast, safe and (hopefully) easy way to successfully unlock the power of the web platform

- You can use Pragmatic drag and drop with any tech stack (svelte, vue, react, vanillajs etc) and you can use it to build _any_ drag and drop experience you like

- We have optimised Pragmatic drag and drop for performance and flexibility. It consists of a small core and lots of optional pieces. The big idea is that folks only ever need to include the code they need for their experience. Small pieces also allows folks to borrow as much as they can and only build the specific pieces they need for bespoke experiences. More details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SQkOyzZLHM

- We make it easy to attach data for external windows and applications, and to receive data from them (and you only pay code for that functionality if you want it!)

- Pragmatic drag and drop is already powering drag and drop in some of the biggest software products, including Trello, Jira and Confluence.

- We have design guidance and accessibility guidance and outputs which folks are welcome to use, or you can create your own design and accessibility solutions

- It works with multi drag. We already have multi drag in a few places in production, but we currently don't have public guidance or an example (work in progress!)

I am happy to answer questions folks might have. It's a public holiday here in Australia, so I might not be able to reply to things until tomorrow.

Cheers
That's only if the company chooses to continue paying your premiums, and I've never seen that after leaving a job.

I'm my experience, you'll pay 1.5-3x what you were paying while with the company.
That's extreme. There's so many worse place to be than Australia. I mean, sure, there's a lot of issues for the future, (there always were) but there's a lot of good things in life you don't have to pay for. Go for a walk with a friend for the start, it's nice outside. You don't have to be anywhere close to rich to have a nice life.
Are you giving an example of a false equivalence? Because if so, you nailed it.

> Many men, especially those without prospects for getting married/having kids, really don’t have a good reason to go on except pure hedonism. And that can only go so far.

FWIW, the missing element in this framing is real, substantive community. Not conversational or ephemeral community like you find online, but the kind of substantive community that engenders a network of mutual support.

It's not the only way through life, but people naturally get momentum behind them when they can take on meaningful responsibilities towards others.

Caring for a partner and kids is one way of taking on those kinds of responsibilities, but you're right that this isn't readily available to everyone. It never has been, really, but that can be especially apparent to people these days.

Work can be another way, but it needs to feel like you're actually helping something in a way that matters, and many people don't have those opportunities for work either. Much work is towards notoriously bullshit ends, and plenty of employers and clients can be degrading rather than appreciative.

But if you read your own post, or walk out your door and see your own neighbors, it's not hard to find people that need help. That's where the giant ocean of fulfillment is hiding in plain sight. Consumer-individualist culture just sort of forgot to teach people that, so one way to be practice it is to help people who need "a reason to go on" to find it in helping others themselves.
It is not easy. One day your VPN stops working, and you need to ask your friends for a new recommendation, and maybe they have if theirs didn't start failing last month, and set that up and hopefully it keeps working for a while longer, maybe until your original routes around the issue. It is high friction, and was a constant pain trying to maintain a functioning satellite office behind the Great Firewall.
Hey Jake. Thanks for the kind words
You haven't been there then. Google, YouTube, Twitter are all banned there. They are blocked completely. You cannot download the apps. In fact, the Google Play Store doesn't work there. They have cracked down on all VPN's now as well. We could only access western social media through a corporate network.

One side note, the United States Embassy has free Wi-Fi if you're close enough to it. You can get access to everything through it.
This is only true for young adult men. Middle-aged women still have higher suicide rates than young adult women.
Really wonderful. I’m working on a ~relatively~ large web app and I just wrote drag and drop off as an option for form construction and report building, but this may put it back on the table. Thanks a lot!

I did notice some pretty intense issues using the examples on mobile. Is that just an issue with the examples, or is it something more foundational?

I can think of at least one high-profile counter-example to this, specifically with guns, within living memory.

I’m done arguing with you; there’s no sense arguing with people who think that gun violence is just a political football. I pray you are never the victim of your preferred policies.
What are those other areas which display age-based creative decline? Other creative fields I can think of off the top of my head - scientific research, animation, fiction writing, architecture - are overwhelmingly dominated by older people.

Even in pop music, I'd argue that artists are doing very little of the actual heavy lifting compared to the producers and the writers. Pop singers have a much shorter shelf life than producer/writers due to the importance of image in appealing to younger fans. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Martin for an example.
Don't forget that you are the result of all the past sensory interactions that you experienced in your whole life, people you interacted with, books you read, advertisements, songs, news headlines, etc. Even if you think you don't remember them, at one point in your life it was processed by your brain and may have changed some posterior decisions you made, thus making you what you are now.

Since I realized this, I am more meticulous when choosing what I do and don't do, there is no going back.

Our higher salaries are a insufficient to offset the current cost of living, which is growing at a faster rate.

Our country is physically large, with a low population density. Unless you are willing to sacrifice significantly (ie. Access to medical care), your are obligated to live near one of our (few!) cities.

We sell our natural resources to foreign interests, who automate extraction and pay literally zero tax.

The social safety net is significantly below the poverty line, and is stagnant in the face of the increasing cost of living.
Yes. During that time, auto dealers in neighboring states will see an uptick in sales.

Also, sales of high performance cars will be interesting. Higher-end BMWs and Audis, Porsche, Ferrari, McClaren, Bugatti, Lamborghini, etc. Basically, expensive cars, for people with money. More of them will probably say screw this to CA.

I suspect that it’s not cognitive decline, but that everyone is just too tired to make music.
The existence of additional problems and avenues for violence does not mean we shouldn’t address gun violence.

If we take your argument to its logical conclusion - why have any laws or regulations at all? Such arguments are silly.
It's absurd that people are rationalizing this by saying "oh, China doesn't allow US companies to enter their market either," which has been this case in the past 50 years, or "backdoor used by CCP bad bad" without any evidence other than the company being Chinese. It shows how easy people will buy into whatever you feed them when everyone else is saying the same thing.

China is never a country with free market. The hypocrisy is glaring when one claiming as a free market while passing a law that outright rob a company in the day light, under the name of "national security". American people should be embarrassed by this. The government is using to the same tactics as a so-called authoritarian communist country, if not worse.

Let's take a task like "uncompressing a file".

It's clear that a Raspi is uncompressing slower than a new and shiny Thinkpad.. but the Thinkpad also uses much more power. Who is more energy efficient?

The article compares the energy efficiency of ARM/x86/RISC-V/AppleSilicon. The created framework can be used to easily compare energy efficiency of other tasks, i.e. kernel compilation.
