I think java has enough momentum that it will join in the perpetual pantheon of languages with FORTRAN and C - however with that said, learning Go changed how I write Java for the better, I was able to do this within my java job after convincing the team that a small but neccisarry but not critical side project could be done in Go to test it out - I had a blast learning and writing it, even though ultimately the dynamics of my company kept us in Java

People should know and have evidence on hand that policy and budget decisions directly effect lives.

This is another lesson available, we are individuals that are part of communities which can learn from this lesson vicariously.

This community had a conversation that ended with a vote, where people chose not to pay more taxes and to not figure out the minutia of how to run the system effectively - nor did they receive a grant from above levels of government - nor did they determine a local low cost solution - and because of that people were swept away in a flash flood they had no clue was coming like countless times in history and prehistory.

There will always be a balance between safety and budget, just as with all other qualities, and its a constant difficulty always filled with consequences wherever the decisions made land.

But some consequences are easier to bare than others.

The next time this community thinks about floods and what to do about them they’re perspective will likely shift with the weight of the dead bodies left in the debris field, and it should be hoped that other communities who know this news understand that too.

The effort and cost of government is for our collective benefit, because the world is rough, and by working and sacrificing together we can make it easier if we choose to.

This article adds to the story and make you think about the decisions you and your community are making.

As long as they dont shove it down our throats, and then expand and expand and expand the features that are in their paid tier, and make you feel lesser for choosing their local only unpaid mode, and dont make the unpaid mode inconvenient with dark patterns.

Its happened too much, I’ve asked my friends to hop through so many different platforms over the years and decades

It always starts with something thats reasonable, and every time thus far, it expands into something I hate.

Fly by wire is not the same as IFR flight.

And being an engineer has nothing to do with being a pilot, I’m an engineer too, nobody needs your irrelevant pretentious credentials.

$500 per week - 500x48=24k with 4 weeks of thankfully “unpaid” vacation

Agreed

And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.

Wow, somebody is hunting mechanical engineers - hopefully none doing significant work get duped.

I’d be curious if the malicious downloads are basic viruses, or are something specialized to exfiltrate cad drawings, or something even more complex to subtly alter designs and cause harm

At one point, it was thought to be very safe because of its fire resistance, treated as a miracle material. many buildings throughout the world were made with asbestos, and many still exists.

for the most part it is only harmful when disturbed, either when mining and processing, or when destroyed.

The USDA told Reuters that Mexican exports from the western state of Michoacán have not been blocked. Additionally, avocados and mangos already in transit wouldn’t be affected by the suspension of inspections, which would be paused “until further notice.”

So we’re saying “if you beat up our people, we’ll stop enforcing our policies and still do business with you”

Cool

I’ll make a point to not buy Mexican avocados and mangos until this is fully resolved because who knows what’s happening with them if the people who are charged with ensuring their safety get beaten up.

Or, it’s because whoever is doing this hates freedom of information and historical evidence. There’s a long list of powerful people and governments who have the resources and will to carry out these attacks.

Cyber warfare is real, and the Internet archive is a museum and library of culture and truth. It provides evidence and context to our past.

As in conventional war, it is valuable to the amoral to destroy culture and truth in order to control it. Many would like to kill that to supplant it with their version of events that can’t be refuted with evidence.

Fucking pedophile

I fucking hate Spring.

The quickest way to get a team of 10 contractors to turn 100 lines of basic code from a decent engineer into 2k, with 50 janky vulnerable dependencies, that needs to be babied with customized ide’s and multi-minute+ build times and 60m long recorded meetings.

Fuck Spring.

Go.com is Disney’s main domain, and ABC is owned by Disney

I haven’t been paying attention, what was the original drama there?

It sounds like good things have come out of it with a more community aligned governance, and nixOS is very interesting tech that could solve some of my headaches with Linux

I wish they’d make this game good

I was so excited in October, but I’m glad I waited for the reviews

I watched every dev notes that released weekly in the lead up, I was part of the hype. Hundreds if not thousands of hours into cs1.

I’m still waiting for this game, I can’t wait to buy this game.

But I’m not buying some half baked beta game.

I will maintain ownership of the repository, but I won’t pass it down to anyone else. First, because I feel it’s not up to me to decide who to pass the project down to, and second, because there is no one else to pass the project to.

“But I want and can maintain it, can I take it over?” Let me put it plain and simple: No! I don’t know you, I don’t trust you! Fork it and carry on!

Bravo

What a wild and spotted life that guy lives
