Plus it’s a comment on how performative republicans are with their appeal to “law and order order”, the constitution, states rights. So much drama and spectacle about things they don’t really care about

Excellent for you. I imagine the between years weren’t easy, and I know that turnaround can be a real challenge

Can’t beat the classic

They also deserve to be judged individually for their actions and decisions, not simply their financial status.

Misreading. I confess your post was too long and I didn’t read. I assumed you were talking about USAID, which I do believe is different.

Yes, not sending money to help others but s different from actively leading a country in a ways that causes massive deaths.

Sociopath either way but a direct cause of those deaths is different from not saving those other deaths

And believe me Im no supporter of the guy, quite the opposite. I just believe that not all of his actions are criminal. Unethical definitely and way too many are criminal and should be prosecuted

Even in that case, it’s not like he’s killing them. He just said we’re not going to try to save them.

I’m against pretty much everything that guy has ever said, and would have chosen to greatly expand USAID for all the lives it was saving and misery avoided …… but there is a huge ethical distance between killing them and not going out of your way to save them. Wither way it helps if you’re a sociopath, but they are different

If you are 20 years into your career and want to rank up to earn more money, an MBA is probably more expensive than it is worth.

Or the opposite. It’s still situational. My uncle had a long career at a large company and worked his way up to a very senior position. But he hit a ceiling where he would no longer be promoted without the appropriate degree. In his situation it was worth going back to college after 35 years in his career. Because it meant a promotion and raise, or not

Sorry but it’s never a stupid idea. It’s only a situational thing where the question is whether you can make it work. That’s not necessarily age related.

Actually going through the other side of this right now with a kid not doing well at school. At what point is it a better idea to consider a gap year? The problem is any age after schooling is interrupted is much harder to get back. Some people make it work, fantastic, but once you hop off the treadmill you’ll probably stop running

I’m not entirely sure why all the hate : Jenkins can do the most things the must ways. And yes, it’s so much nicer defining a pipeline with a fully functional language than an assortment of yaml files

Actually that was my response when my company wanted to start using Gitlab ci. It only has one way of doing things so you can probably get a faster start if you had no ci, were a small company, and had simple builds. However we’re over 4,000 builds in many languages from 12 year old monoliths to modern micro services and containers…… and way too much godawful JavaScript. Do you want the quick and simple tool great for a small startup or the all powerful kitchen sink of tools?

I’ve wondered if people’s watch lists are prioritized to be pay videos. The first time I saw this I wondered why my watch list was mostly pay videos: I must have misunderstood something. So I created it again with only free shows. A year later it was mostly pay

I like that, “don’t skip gut day”

Fiber is too hard to explain.

My teen is an athlete and very much into muscle building. He tracks macros, eats more calories than the rest of us (and still lost weight as a freshman with unlimited meal plan), and always looks for more sources of lean protein or omega 3’s.

But when I try to explain the importance of fiber, “I don’t get constipated and don’t need to shit more so why should I care?” Maybe it’s my problem not knowing how to reply to that in a way that communicates the importance

It’s sad that my first reaction was “are we sure we’re posting “scientific” results from the us govt?”, and my second reaction was was “phew, 15 years old so it should be true”

But it is old data and I’d like to know if anything has changed.

• Maybe there’s trends: I eat more vegetables than I did back then although still nowhere near enough.
• Marketing has generated a lot more fiber claims for things like breads and cereals. Is that real? Enough to make a difference?

So for me personally I eat more veggies although still not enough and the bread and cereal I eat talks a lot about fiber. Are there any such trends and are they enough to make any difference?

Sure but the point was that nat allows you to choose private addresses that are by default not routed: the NAT becomes the only way internet traffic can reach your devices

Just wait until the day ipv6 is finally adopted readily and we’ll have this same argument about whether IPv6 addresses are a security feature when a /64 is too big a range to scan

Back in my day, that was the assumption: every device would get its own public IP. Now get off my lawn

In the us, Tesla has a much higher reputation for chargers that actually work when you need them. Usually the credit goes to better sensors and more responsive service, but an underrated factor is larger charging stations with many more chargers. One failing of twelve is less impact than one failing of four, for example.

As yet another anecdote showing how regressive/spiteful US treatment of EVs is …… over the summer I saw an article about a new vendor winning contract for New Jersey rest areas. Part of the contract was to replace 12 charger Tesla supercharger rest areas with “equivalent” four charger that cost 20¢/KwH more

Yeah I think it’s mainly North America (us?) that’s the problem.

However the standards process worked, it created poor choices and was not effective. Twice. At least we’re finally coalescing on a de facto standard, and NACS is better than the previous two choices

But yeah the app situation is bad. While I appreciated using chargers that use my cars internal ID, and just worked, that clearly doesn’t scale. Now that we’re trying to scale out to general use so we really need credit card readers instead of a plethora of apps.

Not requiring an app was one of the prerequisites for federal incentive money, but the short-sighted administration retracted that

Sprint is an interesting example because I believe regulators did block previous merger attempts on exactly those grounds.

It’s yet another case subject to the whims of whatever administration is in charge, and we’re stuck with the fallout

Fwiw I like ll beans. It’s quite expensive but really durable
