Cheers; I've always difficulty mapping those pprof graphs to actual concrete code and I never managed to get anything more useful out of it. This is the biggest take-away from this post to be honest; had no idea it…

A good Belter never wastes anything.
I find myself wondering if my email is broken. Which is to say I get very little reply. Compare this to a year ago when I got a reply to almost every application I sent out. I'm kind of kicking myself for being so…
The conflation between "not a morning person" and "lazy" is completely ridiculous, and seems to prevail mostly in countries with a "protestant work ethic" background. I've literally been fired from jobs where I was one…
You can still use multiple windows, but it hasn't been the default for a long time.

That depends on the settings used for less; AFAIK the default for many distros is to display control characters.
> this type of policy changes on a whim Ehh... "I want to share another idea in this post to keep it open-source [..] Let me know what you guys think" is not a "policy change on a whim". It's an idea. It was not "walked…
The downside of that is that piping to less won't display colours any more either, so then you need "progname -color=always" or some such. Some programs solve that with a built-in "pipe to terminal" feature, but I…
There is no "50 years of technical debt". If anything, a significant amount of complexity has been removed compared to the 70s and 80s when everyone and their mother was making wildly incompatible terminals (actual…
That's kind of what aliases are for.
It's useful if you want to write interactive applications from scratch ("curses-like"). Beyond that ... probably not so much.

No doubt; same in Netherlands (more pigs than people in the country). But there's been improvement over the last 20 years on the animal welfare front, at least in the Netherlands and presumably Denmark too. And routine…
If someone gave me a big bag of money then working on a better dating site would probably be what I'd do with it. I think it's very hard pull off as a "personal project" though, because a dating site needs people to be…
Also there's less need for it in the first place as welfare conditions are usually better. Who could have expected that livestock that's not kept unhealthy conditions tends to be healthier.
IMO the big advantage of languages like Go in this space is that you can ship a binary to your users and that will Just Work™. Shipping a Python tool tends to be significantly more complex either for your users who will…
I think what we've slowly come to realize is that "liberalizing trade" only really works if everyone shares roughly the same values. Even trade between the EU and US can be stressed at times due to this, and they…
Indeed, that was my point: it's not an isolated incident, but a pattern. The people in charge (in politics or business) are in charge due to the current system, so they have very little incentive to change it and have a…
We could simply give the coal workers a sort of "pension". 40k people at $60k a year is $2.4 billion/year, which is a tiny fraction of the annual $4.8 trillion federal budget. You can structure parts of this in…
We've seen the same thing with tobacco, asbestos, lead, etc.
That's just a heuristic.
Many would disagree that modern Apache people affected by this. I read the blog post, and didn't find it particularly convincing. It's also just the opinion of a few people in what seems like a fairly small organisation.
https://github.com/servo/servo/graphs/contributors?from=2021... Most of the commits are updates to dependencies and the like. So basically, no one is, outside of preventing too much "bit rot" and some very occasional…
