What’s an NPA?

LFS?

In the Netherlands there’s “Jan Modaal”, modaal (modal) referring the most commonly occurring value in or peak of a distribution. This name is used often when representing the experience of the most average Dutchman.

It’s especially often used in financial discussions and journalism, like “owning a house is getting further out of reach for Jan Modaal.”

People shouldn’t have the lowest social status just because they don’t work, that’s the thing. We should take care of everyone’s basic needs and let people work on things they are passionate about, instead of simply treating with poverty those that don’t participate.

Unemployment generally only measures the percentage of people who are seeking work but unable to find it. Those who don’t work because they are otherwise taken care of aren’t usually counted. That’s actually the source of the discrepancy in the article so the headline is bs imo.

I’m all for reducing our working hours as a population though. More productivity should equal less work, not more GDP

You uh… you might have chosen the wrong field if you hate displacing labour

A tale as old as tech

I had a browse through the issues but I couldn’t find a good example - would love a link if someone finds one!

Fair enough! Do you cover your costs for it? I see you’ve got live stats - what’s your monitoring stack?

This is just really cool, I’d love to build an actually useful service like this and have it at least pay for itself but so many things are so daunting! (Payments, SRE, having a nice front end, …)

Wow really nice project! Do you work on this full time?

It’s absolutely orientalist, similar to Zelazny’s Lord of Light but for Islam instead of Hinduism. For these, I was able to view them as a product of their time and enjoy the story even while recognizing some problematic elements.

I found the 2nd book to be a bit of a slog, and I enjoyed the 3rd a lot more again. Since it was about new characters once again coming of age (… kind of), it has that same sense of exploration and discovery as the 1st. The 1st is definitely my fave so far though.

Wage Labor and Capital - Karl Marx. It’s very small but I’m taking my time with it

I’m in kind of a rotation of Sci-Fi (last: Children of Dune), classic novels (Dune kinda counts but my last from this category was Lord of the Flies), and nonfiction/leftism

What exactly is Hyprland? I looked at the site quick but I couldn’t quite figure it out from the description.

Disclaimer: I’ve only ever used Linux servers, not really as a desktop beyond vanilla Ubuntu

sir this is a capitalism

This is not true of all countries, here in NL that is quite uncommon

Huh I wonder what would discourage them from working together with Israel. Must just be one of those things I guess.

“Gong show”

Chaotic or poorly organized

The graduation ceremony was a total gong show, even the principal was drunk

some esoteric devices and plugins don’t support them. In fact, some don’t even support HTTP POST properly and will only be able to put form parameters in the URL query string (though you still need to insist on requiring a proper POST method, don’t be an animal).

This gave me a chuckle. Good, practical advice for smaller APIs. Bigger orgs are likely to have distributed tracing etc but for a one man show it’s good to have input on what’s proved actually useful and necessary.

To be fair a lot of ORMs provide updated_at or similar, so if you have a RESTful API you could just take that, or the max of all of them if you’re doing a more complex query. It might be a bit suboptimal but it shouldn’t be too expensive.
