There is no social safety net. Half my town burned down in a national park, including my own home. You think the Federal government did anything? You think there was any net at all?

The Federal government even had the gall to refuse my 2 year old's passport renewal for example because I only paid the renewal fee, and not an additional fee for the passport getting destroyed before expiration date that was buried under 10 pages of fine print that I missed because we were homeless with a toddler. And they already had my CC# on the application anyway, but because I didn't explicitly mark down the extra fee, the application was refused.

Now we've found a new home in a new town at our own expense, and we can't see a doctor. My 2 year old can't see a doctor. There's not enough doctors and practices won't take on new patients unless you go on a years-long wait list. This is our "free" healthcare. If you're dying, you can go to an emergency room and wait for 8 hours to see a doctor. If you need anything routine you're fucked if you don't have a family doctor. We had one, but our town burnt down and now it'll be years before we have one again.

You know how we access healthcare? We go to Europe. We go to my wife's country of origin twice a year to visit family and get healthcare. I had a surgery there (wait in Canada was 2 years, in the EU I got it done in 2 days), our son has had all his checkups and most of his vaccines done there.

This social safety net is a myth, a theory. It exists until you actually try to access it.

edit - the only help we received was our insurance company, a private corporation. So what's the difference versus the US apart from our much higher taxes and lower wages?
Also, we have tried in the past a Nocodb json field but was buggy. Nocodb 0.260 has been recently released and we would like to give it a try again to store extra data in some forms, like "Type of enquiry" or Support like contact forms, without having to create a table for each case.

We are succesfully using Nocodb as a Headless CMS too (for +10 microsites)

> Plenty of games don't work well on the Steam Deck

Are you just referring to the games with anti-cheat? If so, I do agree, though I think with the success of the Steam Deck the anti-cheat providers are (or better be if they don't want to get their asses kicked) going to be looking seriously into options.

Outside of anti-cheat, I've yet to find a game that doesn't work on Steam Deck. Even the ones with the worst ratings will usually launch and you can play if you plug in a mouse and keyboard. Obviously not a great experience, but those games would have the exact same problem on any PC, Windows or Linux. It just happens that most Windows PCs have a keyboard and mouse already plugged in.

But not every clock would be like that - only those clocks which don't show the seconds precision would use this rounding.

The consequence of that would be that statements like "fireworks start at 12 AM" would mean two different points in time depending on how much precision your clocks have.

People are failing to read between the lines here.

Trudeau wanted electoral reform. But only one kind of electoral reform. A ranked ballot system.

When he couldn't get that, because the NDP and Bloc said "No F'ing Way" (for reasons I'll get into below), he sabotaged the whole committee and forced it shut.

After that he only had minority governments. So there was no way he was going to re-open the issue because he still wouldn't get the result he wanted.

Why ranked ballots, and why are the NDP opposed to them?

Because in a ranked ballot system the Liberals would be the 2nd choice of the majority of Canadians. It would effectively end the NDP as a viable electoral party. At least that's now the NDP saw it. I think a look at other ranked ballot system countries would definitely provide evidence that it tends to produce two-party system outcomes (see Australia, effectively a two party system)

The NDP's preference is for a Mixed Member Proportional system like in Germany. As a partner in a coalition minority gov't with Trudeau there is no way they would have accepted anything else. And key people in the Liberal party will never ever accept such a system, since it would mean governing forever along with the NDP, their ideological opponent (no matter what other people might tell you.)

So, yeah, screw Trudeau, and thank god he's gone (he should have resigned after he failed a majority last time around), but I think people need to dig more on this issue and why he might be saying this:

He wants "electoral reform" and regrets not getting it, because if they had accomplished what they wanted (ranked ballots), they would probably have a good chance at another election win. Yikes.
To try to expand on this in a constructive way, I think the similarities are that they both pretend to be outsiders while being very connected and powerful and have a worrying amount of disrespectful and vindictive rhetoric and a refusal to engage with the media/intentionally egging on of rage towards the media. That's kind of where it ends though, since I don't think Poilievre has Trump's trademark complete lack of self awareness (I'm not trying to be insulting here, I think it gets him pretty far honestly and has lead to some of his funnier tweets, though I'm not a fan.).

Poilievre seems more like a traditional politician trying to ride the populist right wing train, and he's far less charismatic than Trump. Conservatives I know aren't crazy about him, if he weren't up against the even more unpopular Trudeau during the post covid global incumbent purge going on I don't think the election would be nearly as favorable. I am worried, but mostly due to the general state of the world.

Also Canada gets most of its media from the states, so right wing Canadians talk like right wing Americans with most of the same talking points. I think they'll always look similar and I can't necessarily blame Poilievre for that even if it does annoy me and he definitely intentionally rides it. It's certainly not going to end with him, and the Libs also like to pretend to be Democrats when it suits them.
I live and work with mostly conservatives and none of them supported the truckers nor do they even mention it. Their grievances are more typical - inflation, taxes, and immigration.

I think we need to be careful when reading these opinions to not mix up Americans’ views, Russian trolls with legitimate Canadian discourse.
> The "very special boy" who cheekily breaks a few rules in order to build something that is wildly popular and disruptive...and this was something to live up to?

I think examples like this (also see Bill Gates) were more inspiring because there was an idea that you could get at least some smaller scale of that kind of success with a modicum of talent, hard work, and luck. You would look around your high school class and there would be one or two "whiz kids" who everybody knew would go on to do great things. The role of computers was not widespread yet and there seemed countless possibilities for computers to make life better. Instead of writing numbers by hand into a ledger and adding on a mechanical calculator, you would use a spreadsheet type of thing.

I think what changed is the efficiency of the successes. Success means extraction at largest possible scale, such that there is no more room for one or two whiz kids from every single high school class. There is room for 1 whiz kid per generation; and chances are that guy will need to be a greedy asshole to make it to the top. And then the very nature of this extraction means, now that the productivity gains have plateaued, that resources are taken from the poor and given to the rich.

Sorry to be a downer, I'll see myself back to my bottle. :-D

I really appreciate when brands just name things like they are.

Nothing is less fun than cross-shopping products and there are a bunch of arbitrary brand differences. "Precisions are their portable workstations. Latitudes are their ultrabooks. Duh! XPS is their premium consumer laptop!".

Marketing departments tend to get addicted to the smell of their own farts. But I don't think consumers care about particular sub-brand names. We already saw this a decade ago in the automotive space where manufacturers ditched their unnecessary marquees (Pontiac, Mercury, Oldsmobile, Saturn). And I think we will see this trend continue into more industries (like hotel chains).

> There are many reasons one would fall for such falsehoods, but I don't think reasoning your way into a twisted ethical paradigm is one of them. In other words, I think you have to reject rationality and reasoning altogether to get to this point.

I think you're conflating fringe myths with the actual core ideology. The leadership's principles were coherent, even if built on lies. People don't need to reject rationality to fall for it, they just need to rationalize cruelty within a warped framework.

> They act purely out of a desire to fit into the in-group.

That's pretty reductive don't you think? Though warped and morally indefensible, they definitely have defining principles. It's unwise to treat your ideological enemies introspect and intellect as inherently inferior to what you perceive as your own.

> [...] there was no inherent predisposition to nazism, anyone can, under the wrong circumstances, fall into that.

I get the point, but I don’t buy the 'anyone' angle. Some people just aren't predisposed to that kind of thinking or behavior, no matter the environment.
Platforms like RentCafe are highly configurable to support local laws, because the nature of landlord/tenant law is that it is highly variable by state.

Going though that same effort is a waste of time and implementation budget for something like selling novelty bills.
I think what Apple excels at is providing a set of software development tools, a platform, and an audience, for third-party developers to then use to build innovative products, the best of which either become platforms of their own if they're lucky (e.g., Adobe suite), or are copied by Apple and made part of their operating systems (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherlock_(software)).

In addition to Watson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karelia_Watson), there's also Cover Flow (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover_Flow), Shortcuts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortcuts_(Apple)), Konfabulator (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo_Widgets), Growl (https://growl.github.io/growl/), and of course my favorite LaunchBar (https://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/index.html, LaunchBar would be my pick as the most innovative app of the last 25 years), for apps that were incorporated into macOS.

While Excel, Photoshop, Illustrator, Sketch, Lightroom, Premiere, and PowerPoint are all examples of software developed and released first for the Mac that then went on to become software behemoths in their own right (too big to Sherlock). (Well Sketch turned out differently, because Figma happened, but it's still a great example of third-party innovation facilitated by "a set of software development tools, a platform, and an audience".)

The point here being I think of Apple as more providing a platform for innovation rather than innovating themselves (but I'm aware that's probably a minority opinion).
I always felt like a lot of these computer sub brand names were rather confusing. Inspiron? Presario? Precision? XPS? ProBook? EliteBook? zBook? Envy? What are the real cross comparisons here?

Personally, I'm OK with these computer manufacturers cleaning up their product line.
Many excellent points, thanks!
iirc the finding was that it was within the power of the province to handle the situation.

The thing is, the province wasn't using the powers it had to handle it. The situation was obviously an emergency. You can't just let a convoy of heavy vehicles occupy your national capital indefinitely and say "not a problem, the provincial govt could theoretically handle this"

I'm not sure the Quebec kidnappings would have met the threshold either. There's a strong argument to be made that the law around the emergencies act is a bad law.

The court's finding meant ANY emergency powers would have failed to meet the standard.
I think the AI appears on any SKU with enough TOPS for copilot+ (they released some 200 SKUs that are just Ryzen 5/7, no AI)

Max is the segment number i.e. it's "Ryzen 11" (the other 300 series SKUs they announced are Ryzen AI [5|7] 3xx). Weirdly though there are no Ryzen 9s so maybe it's really just a rebrand of 9.

The Pro just means it has management and security features for enterprise customers.
There is room for two failures. The province should have enforced the provincial law, and the feds should not have have taken action through the banking sector.
Surely there were options like appointing a new police chief which they could have gone to first rather than going straight to emergency powers and suspension of rights?

I agree about missing RAII when switching away from C++ but it seems like defer cleans up after enclosing function exits while RAII cleans up when object goes out of scope, which is more fine-grained. Maybe I'm misunderstanding exactly when defer would clean up but it seems more like a safety feature. As people pile more stuff into the function the cleanup would be deferred more and more while RAII encapsulates the management right where you need it, e.g. exiting a loop or something.

You'd wish instead of "seeing like a state" organizations would learn to "see like a consumer" and be able to recognize that a terrible commercial is a terrible commercial!

I think the efficiency gap is less than with other approaches. Rather than privileging electric cars we should reward people the same if they save carbon by buying an electric car or riding a bike or if an industrial process is replaced by one that is naturally carbon free or if you take the carbon out of the stack or if you take it out of the atmosphere. The market should decide what is the most efficient.

(Note another 'efficiency' concern people have is that you don't want to pay people $400/ton to store carbon from fermentation at an ethanol plant that is unusually cheap at $40/ton because you get nitrogen-free CO2. People seem to have a moral problem with that, first fundamentally, second because the ethanol plant is problematic in other ways)

Alternative would be like Apple, with vertical integration.

First off I never said they were “blanket banned”. I said “they were totally banned by the FTC” which is true and correct. And I said other states “also limited them significantly” which is also true and correct.

A Texas federal court ruled the FTC overstepped its bounds and has currently issued an injunction. However a federal court in Pennsylvania has ruled the opposite. Our legal system isn’t so simplistic that you could possibly interpret that as “it’s perfectly legal” as in the comment I was replying to.

In addition , in many if not most states (especially states in my opinion where innovation and economic activity matters most), most courts have ruled consistently against non-compete overreach and have precedents that do not favor non-competes.

For example § 16600 of the California’s Business and Professions Code, for the most part bans all non-competes along with civil penalties of $2500 per violation. Other states also have severe restrictions on what can be prevented in non competes, especially things not specifically related to the job the employee is hired for or outside of proven trade secrets, as has been the focus of most of the discussion here.

As can be seen on the following map the vast majority of states have restrictions on non competes.

https://eig.org/state-noncompete-map/

So any attempt to intemperate the current law around non-competes in the US as perfectly legal is ill informed. I don’t know if the comments on here attempting to paint things as “non-competes are perfectly legal” is either just employees being ill informed, or employers on here trying to convince people of things they wish were true.

Short take, If a company is attempting to get you to sign a non-competes you should definitely consult an attorney. Personally I will not work for anyone attempting to get me to sign a non-compete.

!

The whole point of syntactic sugar is for the machinery to be hidden, and generated assembly will generally look like goto spaghetti even when your code doesn't.

What this implementation of defer does under the covers is not interesting unless you're trying to make it portable (e.g., to older MSVC versions that don't even support C99 let alone C23 or GCC local function extensions) or efficient (if this one isn't).
The machine isn't against the incumbent, it wants to move things to the right. This is why Obama gets mainstream media outrage for superficial things like wearing a tan suit. Also it is why Biden (correctly) got a lot of negative coverage for being too old to serve but people like Trump or Kay Ivey relatively get a pass.
