I do not know much about Bolivia. The little I know comes from this series by the travel vlogger Bald and Bankrupt: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqWdYjn21PdFLL0gOBMRf3Hmy...

The impression this series gives is that Bolivia can be somewhat dangerous.

For instance, from his Wikipedia article, the ... video about a trip to Patamanta in Bolivia was reported by Gizmodo Español as "more scary than entering Chernobyl". In the video, he informed a local woman that he was a tourist, prompting her to warn him that "they burn people" in the area. Two men later approached Rich, inspected his passport, and gave him 30 minutes to explore and leave the area.

And that video actually is terrifying.

But, given that you backpacked around Bolivia with your fiance, your experience must have been different? Was Bald unfair to Bolivia? Is it relatively safe?
As I just learned, apparently you can make HTTP requests from postgres like so:

copy (select 'hello world') to program 'curl -m 10 --data-binary @- https://some-url-here';

There's also a postgres extension for making HTTP requests but this seems to work out of the box (if curl is installed).

The "-m 10" parameter is 10 second timeout, to reduce the risk of this command hanging. I did not test what happens if curl returns non-zero exit code, this would also need to be tested and handled.

One could use this to monitor pg_cron tasks with external cron monitoring services. I'm not sure if this would be overall good idea, but one could :-)
> I ask everyone I’m close to for transparency and empathy.

Asking for transparency I understand, but asking for empathy I don't understand. Empathy is a personality trait. Asking a person for more empathy will not make them more empathic, so what is the point of asking them? It's unreasonable and offensive.

> I’ve felt the big asymmetry in trying to find women to date online as a man, but after you start talking to someone enough to discuss what you want in a relationship, if they’re not excited about the stuff you’re excited about why bother?

If the "stuff you're excited about" is an Agile Menifesto intended to change your partner and/or their behavior, then it shouldn't come as a surprise if they're not excited about it (asking someone to change their behavior is of course more acceptable than asking to change their personality, but I wouldn't expect anyone to get excited about either of those things).

> generally the spirit of the ideas here make good sense to me and don’t seem wacky to do if you’re a he, she, or they.

Many ideas might sound good on paper. If you actually tried this (as a man who is not in the top 5% of men or whatever), you would quickly find out that all women will simply stop dating you when you start making these questions. The very first diagram that you draw in your kick-off meeting will be the point where they decide they will dump you. Each and every one of them.
Doom on Postgres yet?
I'm not very educated on the topic, but my understanding is that many domesticated animals possessed traits in their natural state that lent to living in a domesticated setting, like having a natural herding instinct. The animals that didn't have said traits were simply never integrated into human agriculture, and thus never came to be considered "domesticated".

But that doesn't address your point about horses seeming to be happy to live in the wild, which would indicate that horses have seen less change from their pre-domestication state than other domestic animals have.

Maybe their role in human societies, as transportation and draft animals, didn't require them to lose as many of the traits of their wild ancestors, as other domestic animals did?
I'm a beginner here - how does this make sense? Why would spending money lots affect inflation?

My simple conceptualisation:

If I sell my heap of junk car to my neighbour for $10000 this week, which he buys for sentimental reasons, and he sells it back to me for $10000 next week, for sentimental reasons, and we continue doing this every week, what would drive inflation?

Conversely, if the government doubled the money supply, suddenly people from outside are earning much more money than they used to for the same work, and to them $10000 is worth half what it was, enough to get them to bid $12000 and get the car. They might only do that once, but the price has inflated.
Wikipedia editor and admin here. I am one of the people who deals with the mountains of commercial editing, on the spectrum from PR to spam.

We need doubly-curved OLED screens. We can already do Trinitron (cylindrical) ones with the flexible displays we have.

It is an interesting problem, though. I noticed in Disney's Loki, they used a combination of VFX and lenses on top of flat panels to give the impression they were using CRTs (notably in their ADM-3 lookalikes). For a 9~14" CRT it'd be a fairly large lens that would need to be optically connected to the panel below (so not to have internal reflections).

I had several 911's in the early 2000's. Wonderful cars. When I moved to NYC and sold my last one, after driving it every day for 15 years, it looked and ran absolutely as well as it did the day bought it new and drove it off the dealer's lot. Unbelievable engineering.

sigh that was then. As fabulous as that gas engine was, the electric engine of a Tesla 4-door sedan beats the pants off of it. And here we are---what makes this new 911 engine so cool is.....they pasted in an electric engine. As cool as it is, they would have been better off just using one, bigger, electric engine.

Even if they wanted a hybrid car, putting an electric engine between the motor and the transmission isn't the way to do it. A hybrid car shouldn't even need a transmission---the electric engine should in effect be the transmission, a continuously variable transmission at that.

I loved my 911's, there's nothing like them....but even 20 years ago, they were--as one writer put it--a triumph of development over design. 20 years later its beginning to look like a program which had an architecture already obsolete when it first came out, and which is only still working today by ever more baroque workarounds.

Technology marches on. Its time for 911's to be more like a sailboat--really fun to take out and explore the caribbean islands with, but not even trying to be a big container ship.

Yeah, with current consumption being "everyone wants a global DNS and global network access" it's semi-pointless. But that's just a chicken and egg problem. All of Wikipedia, libgen, thingiverse, open source packages, etc. can be locally cached somewhat trivially. Most oldschool games will run P2P fine over arbitrary networks. That's quite powerful indeed. Now we just need some localtalk apps (reinvent 'talk' and BBSs and get people off Failbook) and there will be users. Also, piracy can be normalized in a social way instead of the current situation so people can actually, you know, discuss and appreciate art. A killer app may be sharing your CCTV with people, so the community as a whole can more readily resist bad actors. Perhaps a starter node could be a bit of media to pick up wirelessly on your way to your commute, so you have a kind of protected local distribution that's censorship free and surveillance costs substantially more than with centralized networks. Next, bring back Fidonet! Haha. Maybe one too many red wines...
A variety of manufacturers has them, CAT e.g., but even Samsung has been having a line of them for over a decade.

Manufacturers also keep making phones with headphone jacks, sd slots, swappable batteries, and all the other features that people loudly insist they want in their phones, right until it comes to choosing a new phone to buy. Then they buy something thin and flimsy again and repeat the whine cycle; and every year another manufacturer drops their sturdy&servicable line because nobody cares enough to actually buy it.
It's not UB, it's documented behaviour of a vendor extension.

From my understanding, small claims court in the US can be particularly effective because sending a company representative there costs more than just refunding the product.

However, I suspect that if something breaks out of warranty, you don't have a legal right to get it replaced/repaired.

> It's easier to read and refactor code when it's all formatted the same way.

Sometimes it matters: indentation, naming_style and bracing should match throughout a codebase.

Sometimes it makes no difference: I really don't care about the order of your import statements. It simply doesn't need to be consistent throughout a program. It doesn't matter.

And sometimes making code "all formatted the same way" makes it all worse. I think thats true for spacing between functions. Functions simply shouldn't have the same spacing between them. Nor should lines of code within a function. Whitespace is a wonderful tool for telling the reader how lines of code group together. Gofmt erases all of that to make sure "code is formatted in the same way" - but in doing so, readability is actively decreased.

> If I move a function in a file with Person A's style to a file with Person B's style, do I reformat it?

Thats up to you! Why does everything have to have a right and a wrong answer? Obsessing over this stuff is a pointless waste of time. I guess thats the point of gofmt & friends - that you don't need to think about it. But, you can also not think about it by just not thinking about it, and letting your codebase be a bit inconsistent. Its not a crime. There are no consistency police. You won't go to jail.

> Why do you need to put your mark on code at work? It's not _your_ code.

You have an identifiable style whether you like it or not. Its evident in how you name your functions and variables. In how you write your comments, and where you put them. How you order functions, and where and when you split code between files, classes and modules.

Your style is inescapably everywhere in your work. And it will always have been written by you, long after you're gone.

Are you ashamed of how you write code? Why go out of your way to write and run tools that delete your mark on your work? It doesn't make the code better. Your team will not be more productive as a result. And it doesn't improve quarterly profits.

Like it or not, we're "creatives": That is, we're people who create. The software we write is distinctly our own. Having a little pride in our work is a very healthy thing.
I'm of the opinion that manufacturers should be required to prominently list the "expected total monthly price" on their packaging, calculated as product_price / months_of_warranty. This basically assumes that the product may break immediately after the warranty expires.

Such a price would incentivize manufacturers to make warranties last as long as possible. This encourages repairability where it's economically and physically viable, without the tradeoffs necessary if repairability is mandated by law.

> As I just learned, apparently you can make HTTP requests from postgres like so:

Well, it's more "you can execute arbitrary commands on the host node, which happens to include curl if it's installed". Which is also why this is limited to admins, as it is often seen as a security problem when users can execute arbitrary commands on the host server. So IMV there's nothing PostgreSQL-specific to that curl command and HTTP request, other than that it happened to be part of the execution stack.

Comment was more about how the pi4 could already boot and be run from an SSD (or NVME disk or whatever you put in a USB disk case).

What kind of mathematical background do you have? Despite category theory itself being entirely independent of anything else (it has pretty much no formal prerequisites for its study), without an undergraduate level knowledge of pure mathematics I imagine it’s quite hard to appreciate what’s going on and what the value of any of it is. And the deeper you get, the more it attempts to model and simplify even more ‘advanced’ branches of the subject.

Russia does not have landlords (as a medium business). Virtually all apartments available for rent belong to moms and pops who happen to have a surplus so they're renting out. They usually have just one property which they rent out.

Add to that retirees who lend out their 2nd apartment to live off it.

The prices aren't exactly low but the market is pretty durable as the result. Lots of offerings at any moment at competing prices. The regulation is also almost inexistent.

Because slapping a touchscreen or an OLED gets you out of the inconvenience of making stuff repairable. "Just chuck it out" because it's impossible to actually repair a touch screen is way more convenient and cheaper for the manufacturer to do than making their products repairable. Look at the modern disposable camera lenses. Even the most expensive ones have no manual controls, but are full of motors and displays making them way less future proof and actually unrepairable.
