Why? like.. why does every desktop need to build yet another terminal app, another file explorer? NIH

stigmatize the working class as boring while promoting alternative lifestyles as more attractive/worthy .. then tax their parents into the ground through run-away inflation.. strip them of any potential for home ownership or a stable life and then wonder why kids don't see any value in traditional education?

DMs rejoice

Hey this might piss you off as Americans, but every US company I've worked for has respected my Australian minimum working conditions (2 weeks sick, 4 weeks holiday, etc etc) .. They will do what they can get away with, vote in someone with the balls to change your system.

Show me a pomsky for matching any valid email pls.

For many years I've been trying to find a word for the sorrow one feels when on reaching for a cup, we realise we finished our tea/coffee some time ago and the cup is indeed now empty. @dictionaryofobscuresorrows please help me.

You cannot ride a motorbike without counter steering, it's how they work, being 'experienced' has nothing to do with it.

On GH :)

"More often than not I find myself having to kill the running process from an external app, such as the shell, after first figuring out what the process ID is."

Short cut here, ctrl-z to background the process, then kill -9 %1 to kill the first job (type jobs for the numbers)

Came looking for a Golang article :/

This is a great point, the 'motivation' seems incredibly shallow and one dimensional.

"Why the Japanese media has refused to identify the 'religious group' that formed the motive for the killing must remain as speculation at this juncture, though it reflects very poorly on Japan’s status as a democratic nation."

I'm struggling to understand the author's bias here (there clearly is one), are they claiming that the poor reflection on Japan as a democracy is:

- that the media has not reported an unsubstantiated 'speculation'? (sounds like good journalism?)

- that that politicians have religious beliefs? (separation of religion and state shouldn't forbid religious people holding office, just from mandating it)

- that the murderer was anti-religiously motivated? (sign of a hate crime)

weirdly it seems dogecoin is the only original cryptocurrency still trying to be a 'currency' if you read the plans https://foundation.dogecoin.com/trailmap/prologue/

2008 GFC, startup of 25 (15 dev), everyone drops to 4 days a week, the newly hired 'CEO' drops 5k on a top of the line laptop for himself to basically run Outlook and Solitaire after telling everyone they were cancelling 'birthday cakes' (which the staff mostly pitched in for anyway). RIP entire company.

Some years ago I was one of the first 5 engineers at what became a semi-unicorn, in 5 years we spent close to 1bn before a sale to tencent.

In the first 12 months I built a dozen microservices, each which eventually had a team supporting them. As the team grew I and one other guy were the 'glue' that kept much of the platform working, we knew how things went together, and by the time the Eng team hit 200+ staff we were indispensable.

After year 2 however, as several of our peers from the beginning moved into team management roles (something I prefer not to do), we noticed we were 'too important' to promote, or to allow to move, or to take off 2nd lvl on-call (at all).

What started with us being the architects of the system turned into us being the 'glue' that kept a massive multi-country eng team operating, which eventually turned into being boxed into a shitty support role rather than promoted, watching people vastly less qualified get moved ahead of us.

Eventually I just quit and moved into a tech lead role at a startup for something different. I feel like this is a trap for IC roles, don't be so helpful as glue that you 'set' into an indispensable position.

Is sqlite a flat file disqualifier?

Dogecoin is being used for micropayments and the tipping economy everyday, with fees that are well under 1c.

The OP writes with the implicit assumption that patriotism is a moral good and that America also is something to defend in and of itself (moreso than any other country).

Some people (myself included) would argue that nationality should (ideally) be of little importance and patriotism misguided affection. We might suggest that mercy and liberty for any individual, no matter their nationality, is at the crux of it of more value than feelings of nationalism.

The story of Nathan Hale gives us a glimpse of exactly why this sort of patriotism is problematic when we read about the British officer tearing up the letters he wrote before his execution, why do this to a fellow man sentenced to death if not misguided nationalism over common humanity.

The problem with the kind of patriotism America seems to demand is that it allows for mercy & kindness to it's own, at the expense of others.

From the point of view of a global humanitarian rather than a blind American patriot, Snowden's leaks make a lot of sense. It's the lens you have grown up with, OP, which colours everything you've said here. As someone from (not America), many of us appreciate that the cover was pulled back, it made us all look to our own democratic governments and ask the hard questions.

back in 2010-ish I ran a bootstrap/startup that was a community based writing platform for indie authors. Our writing app was entirely web-based, offline with CRDTs between browser storage and backend, where everyone's book was it's own sqlite DB. The forums ran on sqlite as did the auth system.. it worked really well for us (although we had to build a bit of logic around lazy updating schemas). I think it's well suited to user-partitioned data.

Air-gap your workstation.

To be honest it needs this kind of shake-up, the bots, the impersonators they don't deal with, 'verification' has nothing to do with proving identity/security and everything to do with exclusivity.

This idea of 'word count' that an Author can use to hold themselves accountable is intriguing. I wonder if a 'lines changed per day' metric (purely as a personal motivator) would be useful for side-projects that we all procrastinate on.

There's got to be some way using git log to get a rough approximation of 'lines changed per day' that you could represent somewhere like a histogram.

Not saying this isn't plant-like but lightning can produce these same shapes in sand.

I work for one of the most well known, fully decentralised, opensource crypto currencies. I'm therefore quite familiar with our objectives (to take over the world, mwhaha) .. but no seriously:

1. Govts can (and should) regulate -exchanges- who are setting the exchange rate at the same time as offering to be the bank for poorly educated crypto holders, so they can use folks money to buy low and sell high.

2. Govts (already) make it a legal obligation to declare and pay tax, crypto is no different than dealing in cash.

People who break the laws of their country should be tried under those laws, ie: tax evasion.. this isn't new to crypto.

What the RBI are saying is they object to crypto removing their ability to.. (see point 1.) control the supply. When they talk about managing the economy, what they mean is 'their ability to print money'. Furthermore they argue their ability to make up the rules as they go is enshrined and justified by the notion that 'that's how it's always been done'.. well welcome to technological advancement? Crypto is FAR from perfect right now but it is based on a premise that a truly fair and un-cheatable system is possible, and that has govts terrified.

Using multisig keys distributed around trusted family members makes most of these problems invalid. There are many ways you can structure a Multisig wallet (this is how many crypto foundations and NFPs manage their assets)

Are you saying Batman and Commissioner Gordon were a thing?

I'm hardly a SJW but it's 2022, can we stop equating rape which is a shockingly violent violation/assult of a real a human being with anything less. I'm sure I'm gonna get slammed for this but whatever.

Right on, but as the OP suggests it's easy to be self-righteous against 2nd century pious showboating as well!

The only solution (again see the article) is humility. The old saying 'There but for the grace of God go I' is apt in this case. Seeing ourselves in every 'bad actor' of any kind from the dude who cuts us off at the lights to genocidal dictators is the only way to avoid it.

"Any Self-Righteous Anonymous groups out there?" - Yes, a close reading of the christian bible will tell you that's the indented function of the church. Unfortunately there's a propensity for the opposite.

People don't use JS for this?
