I think this is how Trump phrases it. In reality almost all countries have tariffs of some kind to protect key industries. Trump's demands/bullying/tarrif-mania normally amounts to him wanting specific tarrifs removed to benefit the US.

Tbf we don't know how many columns there are /s

Key thing to bear in mind is that we think of "chicken" as a single animal, but industrial farming has selectively bred chickens into very different camps.

Meat chickens grow very big very quickly, and are killed for meat long before adulthood. You'd need to pause production a long enough time for them to grow into adulthood, then they would eventually lay eggs, but at a much slower rate than egg chickens, and requiring a lot more food (because of how big they are)

Oh awesome! I saw their website just describes them as "source accessible" and that github didn't detect a license type and (wrongly) took that to mean it was an "open core but not really open source" product.

Was about to point you to MatterMost but saw it's not open source, doh! Anyone know if it was and switched? Or was it always closed source?

Edit: Turns out it was and still is open source, I just apparently suck at researching.

I'm not American so nobody got my vote, but seems to me like the issue is with the swathes of people choosing facism rather than progressives who chose not to vote.

Choosing how to act in a world like ours is tricky, anyone following a sense of right and wrong (even if I disagree with their judgement) instead of fear, hate, greed or whatever gets a gold star in my book.

I use Cosmic and really like it- have used i3, Awesome and Gnome in the past for a while too, I really likes them.

The most time I spent with a set up was Awesome + rofi, which I really enjoyed. I customised literally everything and spent hours tweaking stuff.

That was super fun, but in all honesty my workflow is more or less:

1. Open up a terminal (alacritty, tmux + fish shell + helix editor)
2. Open up a browser (Firefox, have played with others but there's always some quirk where I give up)
3. That's it.

Honestly, all the tweaking is fun for me, but with my workflow I have like 0 requirements for anything fancy. Daily driving cosmic is going nicely for now, and seems to mostly get out of my way.

Sounds like it's working great for you- I wish it would for me too! I'm not OP but some of my main gripes are:

• Most calls have, for at least one caller, a wierd lag time where the call doesn't start for 10 seconds or so
• Quite frequently (I'd guess 5 calls a month) a call will be disrupted by teams failing completely for someone on the call (camera not working, not being able to join etc)
• It uses a lot of RAM even when idling
• It has hundreds of features, like "together mode" that bloat the software without adding to its core functionality
• The UI is a confused mess, and the conceptual split between teams, channels and chats is messyat best.

On top of that, I don't find teams makes me more productive, if feels like a constant distraction that modern corporate culture requires me to have, even though its a net drop in productivity. This last point is more on instant messengers as a whole, but it doesn't place me in a very charitable or forgiving mindset for interpretting Team' multitude of flaws.

Never new about this! That's very handy

I find this whole "it's not milk if it's not dairy" argument really hard to take in good faith.

I'm not an expert at all, but when I've heard people talk about these kind of decisions, it sounds like it's normally meant to come down to consumer benefits.

Who's gaining here (aside from dairy lobbies)? I don't think there's any reasonable argument that UK citizens are confused by the term "oat milk", and buying it because they were tricked into thinking it was a dairy product.

I think his politics are pretty far right, at least based on this video: https://youtu.be/nvQ-ZY460WQ

Here's my hot tip! (ok maybe luke warm)

Write as much of your CICD in a scripting language like bash/python/whatever. You'll be able to test it locally and then the testing phase of your CICD will just be setting up the environment so it has the right git branches coined, permissions, etc.

You won't need to do 30 commits now, only like 7! And you'll cry for only like 20 minutes instead of a whole afternoon!

Yes, for sure!! I hope my call for policitcal action didn't come across as "don't do anything and wait for politicians to sort it out!".

I was trying to get at the need for collective discussion and action, over the idea of a climate change fix that's based on people's feeling superior for their individual actions, especially because without political change, a lot of even the individual changes we need to make (more heatpumps, EVs over ICEs, etc) are only accessible to those with sufficient wealth.

Oh boy, have fun! CTEs have pretty wide support, so you might be in luck (well at least in that respect, in all other cases you're still using saleforce amd my commiserations are with you)

Honestly moral superiority needs to get taken out of climate change as a whole. It's a global issue that needs political solutions. Nobody's individual actions are gonna change their nation's heating systems from gas, grids energy make up to solar, or billionaires to climate activists.

I have advice that you didn't ask for at all!

SQL's declarative ordering annoys me too. In most languages you order things based on when you want them to happen, SQL doesn't work like that- you need to order query dyntax based on where that bit goes according to the rules of SQL. It's meant to aid readability, some people like it a lot,but for me it's just a bunch of extra rules to remember.

Anyway, for nested expressions, I think CTEs make stuff a lot easier, and SQL query optimisers mean you probably shouldn't have to worry about performance.

I.e. instead of:

 sql

    
SELECT
  one.col_a,
  two.col_b
FROM one
LEFT JOIN
    (SELECT * FROM somewhere WHERE something) as two
    ON one.x = two.x

  

you can do this:

 sql

    
WITH two as (
     SELECT * FROM somewhere
     WHERE something
)

SELECT
  one.col_a,
  two.col_b
FROM one
LEFT JOIN two
ON one.x = two.x

  

Especially when things are a little gnarly with lots of nested CTEs, this style makes stuff a tonne easier to reason with.

AI: "Have you tried funding public transport and regulating the carbon industry?"

Ok, now we need to make a new AI so that AI can solve global warming but without using an existing solution that might marginally inconvenience the mega rich.

Short answer is no, I think because what tools you need for programming change so much based on the development you're doing. C++ developers need compiler toolchain stuff that Javascript developers would never need to look at and vice versa.

Curveball answer is that modern extensible IDEs with the power of language servers and plugins have kind of become this. I'd massively recommend properly getting into one of the following and learning how to configure new languages and plugins:

• VScode
• Neovim
• Emacs
• Helix

(Sure I've probably missed some great options, feel free to flame me on why notepad++ should be OPs first choice)

I wish I'd read this years ago! I've nearly bankrupted myself buying a new machine each time, thanks!
