I use neovim for java development with https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-jdtls

It proves that corruption is tolerated in the US.

I have a framework 13" and I replaced the keyboard with a black blanked keyboard. It was really easy to install, it took me ~15 minutes. I really like the look of it, and when I use it in public people think I'm a wizard.

I'll assume that this was downvoted because the "culture war" dividing America is one of the preeminent expressions of class warfare in this country, and therefore acknowledging class _is_ inherently engaging in the "culture war". Which, fair point.

On the one hand, I think this highlights an important "blind spot" in human thought. Our ideas and creativity are hugely influenced by our environment and prevailing social conventions. It's strange he doesn't use the term "Overton Window", because that's exactly what he's talking about and it seems useful to place his thoughts in context with the existing body.

On the other hand, I vehemently disagree with the implicit assertion that any truth should be acceptable to give power. It's easy to filter, twist, and reassemble the truth to deceive and manipulate. Humanity has already paid too steep a price learning why some truths and ideas must be rejected. In fact, the ideology of "free speech absolutism" is itself an orthodoxy specific to a relatively small cultural bubble, and it's objectively quite extreme.

No, this is class consciousness, and by conflating these things you've strengthened their point.

Watch out for any of those dangly bits getting caught on the lift, I almost got dragged by my backpack strap a few years ago. IMO better to lose the gear.

The good news is that there's a very high likelihood that the tree will push new growth from the stump and survive, though it probably won't ever be as healthy and majestic as it once was.

The term "sycamore" means different things depending on the continent. In North America when we say it we're talking about the American Sycamore, platanus occidentalis. In Asia and Europe it's actually a maple, acer pseudoplatanus, and the common name for it in the US is "sycamore maple". Unfortunately it's invasive in parts of the US, and it's not even native to England.

Perspective on "fairly recent" from wiki:

An examination of the earliest maps of Scotland suggests that the extent of the Caledonian Forest remnants has changed little since 1600.

What does this have to do with event sourcing?

Engaging in gender discrimination is probably not the best way to avoid accusations of gender discrimination affecting one's career.

* "I am very careful never to be alone in a room with a woman"

* "I don't 'banter' with women because I am worried that one of my comments, however harmless in intent, will be perceived poorly"

Don't you think these behaviors are negatively impacting the careers of these women?

Not to mention the risk of getting hit by the banhammer if detected

Or probably CFAA, it seems inevitable to me that these organizations will use state violence to enforce their monopolies.

Having studied both CS and music, IMO the skill threshold where you can get paid to code is a lot lower than where you can get paid to music (unless you get very, very lucky and get paid to music because of celebrity rather than skill).

the only (Constitutional) reason to jail someone before trial is to make sure they show up

Well cynicism is definitely called for wrt bail, because it's regularly used for a very different purpose. It's normal for people accused of crimes to have to wait over a year for their trial in this country, and the courts often intentionally set bail so high that the accused can't possibly afford it. They are forced to choose between sitting in jail that whole time while their life evaporates, or they can plea guilty to a crime they may or may not have committed; the actual punishment is often less severe than being found innocent at trial. The prosecution can repeatedly push back the trial to keep the pressure on. Since healthcare access is almost always tied to employment, people plead guilty to crimes they didn't commit every day in this country so that their kids don't lose their access to healthcare. Just the sort of systemic, everyday corruption that we're supposed to pretend can't happen here.

I've used this project, really appreciate the ambition and quality.

Fwiw I've usually seen "fake it till you make it" in 2 contexts: 1. Disciplines in which skill development requires overreaching beyond one's current skill level eg musical improvisation 2. In reference to confidence eg many software developers experience imposter syndrome and have to pretend to be more confident than they actually are in order to be taken seriously, even if they are the most skilled in the room

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this- they were one of the first states to legalize mj. I think this very quickly drove a huge influx of younger, more open-minded people and a lot of cultural change around the metro areas, especially Denver and Boulder.

I think tree maintenance is a great example of work that we should be automating because it's really dangerous and machines can do higher quality work than a human. The "tipping point" of when it will be cheaper to buy a machine vs hire a skilled laborer is unknown, but I'd be surprised if anything more than the most rote codemonkey programming was automated before this sweet spot of dangerous, skilled labor.

During the 19th century there was an attempt to establish a silk industry in New England. The industry failed, but the White Mulberry (morus alba), imported to serve as the food source for the silkworms, is thriving in North America. It's invasive in many areas and has displaced the native mulberry, morus rubra.

Worth calling out use by government. AI law enforcement is terrifying yet probably a long way off. But I don't think AI weapon systems are very far off.

I'm also concerned about population-level manipulation/thought control. Forget the targeted political ads we've seen over the past ~decade, this will be able to dynamically adapt to each target like a really good salesperson. On the macro level humans are clearly vulnerable to these tactics.

My guess is that this is not a criminal violation and the "best case" scenario would be a civil lawsuit which would end up being paid by the city.

A built Framework 13" with a 13th gen intel CPU starts at $1050. Or you can grab the same mainboard for $450. For me, that's really compelling. And if you're upgrading (rather than replacing a failed component) you can still sell the old mainboard or use it as a server, etc. Not to mention the reduced ewaste compared to buying a whole new system.

I'm curious what you found that helped alleviate your pain? For me it was the kinesis advantage.

I had a very similar experience. It started to happen within less than a year of starting my career. Both arms bothered me if I was typing in high gear for a long time, but the right was a lot worse and started to be an everyday thing. I switched the mouse from right to left side for a week and the right side started to feel a lot better. I ditched the mouse for a trackpad and picked up a kinesis advantage and never looked back. Still use a mouse and traditional keyboard layout for my gaming PC though.

I predict that these are going to be a hit with CS students. Performance, customization, repairability, "geek cool" factor; it's exactly what I would have bought.

I want to completely enforce that my record is instantiated with all its invariants dealt with properly

Such validation logic can be enforced in the record's compact constructor.

You're making some pretty big assumptions about the design of these unnamed studies. I don't think it's safe to assume the test population started with high sugar intakes, that the studies only tracked short-term effects, nor that they didn't use a control group.

$5 says it just makes teen pregnancy happen at higher rates btw.

This is a feature, not a bug.
