The finger on the monkey's paw curls.

Now every service will be spamming you notifications and emails even more desperately to bait you into "using" the service so they can bill you. More clickbait and scare tactics on news subscriptions. Also goodbye monthly subscriptions.

It only works for Kagi because they're pretty decent folk.


It feels like we're living two separate lives when it comes to remote work. If my office was a 5-10 minute walk then in-office could be fine. I used to longboard to the office and I didn't have too many complaints. But after getting 2+ hours of my day back every day, an extra hour of sleep, gas money, not having to meal prep or get take-out, and work among my at-home comforts not under wight fluorescent light and an oppressive HVAC it's really hard to imagine an in-office job getting preference over basically any remote job.

I did the hour commute thing, I hated it even when it was the norm.


But isn't that a textbook self-caused problem? You could live in the city and have a 5-10 minute walking commute. But you choose to live somewhere with a lower cost of living, more space, etc.. and then complain about the commute. It feels like you're trying to have your cake and eat it too, and (for OP) it's predictably backfiring.

I hear you for sure. I personally have the luxury of working remotely on a semi-regular basis when I'm not on site at a client's location and I love it. I have worked remotely on and off for 20 years and it is not all gravy though. It does get kind of lonely sometimes. On the flip side, in my early career, I worked with a one way daily commute of 90 minutes or 3 hours a day! That was sure a kick in the crotch.

One of the biggest accolades Biden got for a lot of people was they got 4 years of being able to turn off the news and nothing was on fire. His critics might have called him sleepy Joe (despite his administration being quite prolific) but it terms of normalcy and the government not constantly meddling in your life and business he did a bang up job.

> I migrated their workloads from a rack in a data center to AWS GovCloud and implemented all the FedRAMP security controls

That's kind of cheating, no? It's practical but "I moved the company to a hosting provider that already did all of the hard bits" understates the difficulty.


There is also a difference between dozen of vm or containers that were developed in last couple years by startup and hybrid behemoth with "legacy tech" that developed and supported by hundreds of people over decades.

Former you can lift and shift easily. For later it's multimillion investment that takes a bunch of time to implement


And even good type checkers can't infer every symbol statically where Python/JS has no issue with it.

And then you read the SDK code and the bewildering doesn't stop at the code quality, organization, complete lack of using exiting tools to solve their problems, it's an absolute mess for a spec that's like 5 JSON schemas in a trench coat.

"Reality has a surprising amount of detail."

The fact that there isn't a carve-out for confessions under seal of the confessional is weird since they get one for everything else.

If you try to deputize priests for literally God's sake you destroy the point of the sacrament. Which would be fine in the abstract if there wasn't a long-standing precedent for respecting it. Washington trying to break E2EE with God lol.


Civil law has generally recognised the confessional seal. For example, priests can’t be compelled to testify on anything they hear in the confessional.

Another example is attorney - client privilege.

Attorneys and priests are expected to do important duties for the good of society and thus have certain privileges.


Just out of curiosity as I’m not familiar with the laws here; If a random person on the street confesses a crime (child sexual abuse or otherwise) to me am I required to report it or do I simply have the right to report it if I so choose?

No, because you aren’t a mandated reporter, although in PA the laws are so broad that a volunteer who sweeps the Sunday school classrooms ends up being a mandated reporter.

It would be unconstitutional to require all citizens to “report” crimes they hear other people confess to them, for rather obvious reasons, although I’m sure some state government will try that next.


What I can say is that police must not ignore a crime they learn about (in most countries). The same may not hold for ordinary citizens.

I'm also a registered Republican despite bleeding blue so I can steer the primaries toward more Moderate Republican candidates.

Instagram I think would like a word with you on its viability for production.

Maybe you should first investigate all the gimmicks they had to do, between amount of servers they had to ramp up burning needless budget, rewriting code into C and C++ libraries, Go or whatever else they ended up adding, before doing such statements.

Any other link to share about that? The stackshare url does not even mention anything related.


It surely does, it is quite simple to correlate how many of those technologies are actually implemented in Python.

Pure Python that is.
