The point is that the companies are making the same amount of revenue regardless of where you live. If Google cuts your salary 50% because you move to a cheaper area, maybe that doesn't make a difference to you but it is free profit for Google shareholders. It makes it more obvious to people that the amount they are paid and the amount of marginal profit they earn for the company is WILDLY incommensurate, even for over-compensated Silly Valley engineers, and would be even moreso if you move somewhere cheaper and take a pay cut.
As I listen to this podcast I think there should be several HN threads due to its range:

- Browser and JS history
- Adtech and trying better with Brave
- Has SV run it’s course
Wine tasters are taught to use color and other visual properties.
I have never heard of compulsory source releasing
No, can't compile the add-in nor the cli program itself :(
I guess you have 2 immediate options.

1. use your version to fight for some market share

2. quit

There are others but these seem like the most realistic alternatives to me.

Lawyer up and fight is one other but I don't think it will bring you true resolve (or happiness) whether you win or lose. The true legal situation depends on a lot of factors and you don't give enough information to comment really on that.
It's possible that sometime not too far in the future that advice might need to be upgraded to "If you lose root, unplug and destroy the hardware and install a completely new machine from trusted sources".

(Why yes, I _did_ have that problem weighing on my mind while I investigated several machines that had a weekends worth of exposure to the recent Exim remote root exploit...)
I like mutt a lot. The keybindings are awesome. I like that it comes with native gpg support.

That said, I like (and use) Apple Mail a lot. The gpg plugin is what makes mail.app usable for me. I do not ever send non-pgp-signed email.
I'm interpreting it as genius being a subset of those who work hard enough to be good at something.
Why would the FBI put a backdoor into an ipsec stack? That's the NSA's job.
This will be incredibly useful for all those 4-hour workweek fanatics.
It's not deep enough to provide true knowledge of cryptography and cryptographic attacks while it also doesn't give practical advice on what to actually do in situations that require cryptography (read: always use high-level primitives). Applied Cryptography is pretty good (if outdated), I think, if you're seeking to gain a beginner-level knowledge of cryptography. Practical Cryptography, on the other hand, is a far better choice for what to do when actually using cryptography (although even that is outdated now).
While I love reading articles about science they are almost always simplified to the point if being frustratingly meaningless. Phrases like "as the universe expands" loose all meaning when you're talking about time being converted into space. If only there was somewhere that explained the implications of what seems like this beautifully elegant idea in an equally elegant way... sigh
A full 10 years after AirTunes. Yay.
> The best set of docs for how the whole thing fits together is our book "The Mechanics of MobileCoin"[0].

There's a missing reference on p. 61 (physical page 68)

> ...Chapter ?? discusses how enclaves fit into the broader picture of consensuating transactions and growing the MobileCoin blockchain.

I assume it means chapter 10.
I have my own account on Gab independent of TubeShift and I find it to be the most fun. Gab is nuts but so am I so it works out well.

I routinely fight with the users that worship Torba and call them a cult as a hobby. I like the conflict.

I routinely harras Torba and tell him to fix his crap software and call him incompetent. Then I fight off his cult backing him up with out thought. I like the conflict.

It's fun.
1) The comments about TM & lawyer seem priority

2) Consider reaching out to them, and saying this seems a bit wrong and you'd appreciate if they didn't do this. Probably a mistake and all that nice language. Nothing threatening but allude to we're looking at options and this is going o be a waste of everyone's time/resources.

3) Consider turning it into a social media campaign. especially if they are bigger than you. everyone likes to back David in a fight against Goliath if you present this well. It could work well you both of you to start a them vs us conversation and keep feeding it.

4) SEO the buggery out of your brand name ASAP. If you have been around a while with some presence you will win searches easily around this. Even if winning you want to strengthen for future position as a well funded company will want in here. Also consider doing some sub domains, and other listing to try and own the core word across multiple google and any other relevant listings.

4) Keep a close eye on paid ads for the name. It sux to buy your brand name but it seems likely to be necessary and you likely need to do this if a compeitor is doing it and your losing revenue because of this.

5) How locked in on the brand name are you? You could offer to sell it to them? If there a big company and your smaller bootstrap they might pay some decent dollars to make the issue go away if they've invest heavily in this brand name and committed.

Generally, I think this cant help. Social media 'product fight' could become a good attention thing but really you want to own your name and key terms. And a big company could blow you out of the water for your own name which would be a real issue.

Not sure about approaching for acquire. It might seed a thought but at the same time if they want this I'd want o play a bit 'were not planning that and pay top dollar please'... but who knows...

Good luck.
The opportunities to mutate depend on the number of infections, and on the immune response of the infectee. Due to deaths, naturally-conferred immunity, and vaccine-induced immunity, there just aren't those opportunities anymore, here in the US and especially California. A large fraction of us have already tested positive, or been exposed and infected, even if we have not tested at the time we were infected. The fraction of people that are either immune, or able to easily fight off the infection due to healthy immune response, is now sufficient to lower the overall level of population infection. The fraction of people who are susceptible to serious, long-term bouts with the virus is small and heading smaller. Very much unlike the beginning of the pandemic.
Coming from a C#/Java background, discovering Smalltalk was an eye-opening experience regarding supposed "legacy" programming languages. I would argue it's a more expressive language with simpler syntax (I dare say the simplest) and has had language features for decades that Java and C# have only recently added. That's how I learned newer isn't always better.

This bit of the article struck a chord with me: "The issue is institutional knowledge — when the people who wrote an application 20 years ago leave, the remaining people often don’t know the application with anything close to the same intimacy."

Code readability, testing practices, and the types of patterns employed (or really the types of anti-patterns avoided) are more important than the language used if you expect anyone to be able to maintain a system over time. These are like embedding artifacts of institutional knowledge in your code to guide future maintainers. The choice of language alone doesn't carry any institutional knowledge.
I'm very familiar with Gab. I check it quite often, because I (unfortunately) used to know the CEO.

"There's fewer Nazi's" isn't the ringing endorsement you think it is. If you're on Gab and you think "this is fine", you probably should take a look in the mirror.
It occurs to me (but I can no longer edit) that I wrote the above comment while only thinking about children after puberty. The Epstein connection of the larger story primed me into that frame, and the comment would have looked differently if I'd also considered sex with, say, 6 year olds.

I still don't think "disgusting" is the right category for RMS's "thinking out loud on the internet", but the remark was definitely dangerously naive of the developmental stages of children.

It's also sobering to see how easy it is for myself to write something that can be interpreted to sound much more nefarious than what was really in my head when I wrote it.
Were you able to fall asleep faster or just had a deeper more refreshing sleep?

When you woke up, did you feel more rested?

Was it easier to get out of bed?

Just wondering what it was that made it "amazing".
I've rarely seen SJWs behave respectfully to others who weren't like them or were of some group they considered protected. It doesn't seem to be about respectfulness.

It looks to be about a superficial diversity: of ethnicity, sex, gender, (dis-)ability etc, but not of thought.

Took me just 2 hours to code and upload to Mac App Store, its essentially just showing ping on top menu bar but quite some numbers of users has sent me email thanking me for helping them check their internet connection when having video conferences.
does your company feel the same way about u?
>>For example, I'm afraid that in many environments, Agile ends up meaning "directionless or micro-directioned iterative development"

Directionless. Absolutely.

Before he retired, my uncle was the VP of Technology for a very well-known financial firm. He managed a large department of developers and IT folks across multiple countries.

We were talking about Agile vs. Waterfall once, and he said something that stuck with me: Agile works if and only if your developers have significant amounts of industry expertise. Because only then can they look at a set of vague requirements, make sense of them and translate them into solid product features using their experience and knowledge in that specific problem domain.

Whereas if you look at the software industry today, most developers specialize along languages and frameworks, rather than industry lines and problem domains. Resumes almost never say, "X years of experience in [industry]" because most companies say they want to hire developers with "X years of [insert language/framework here] experience."

So then they end up hiring developers who are really, really good at Rails/Angular/Java/C# or whatever, but have never solved problems in the company's industry because their last job was something totally unrelated. They know how to use the tools and they may be able to iterate quickly, but if they implemented the feature correctly in the first place they wouldn't need to iterate in the first place and the product would ship on time and be on budget.
Every product goes through design-development-testing-launch-maintenance cycle (with occasional major bug fixing between launch and maintenance).

It's natural to work in overdrive during the launch phase, but is just not that productive during any of the other phases.

With Facebook's breadth of products someone somewhere is always launching, so it's reasonable to assume that some employees are putting in 50-hour weeks for a short period of time.
It's not a zero-sum game. Increased wages for engineers would encourage more people to become engineers.
Yeah, NixOS + NixOps declaratively define logical and physical part of an machine network.
Rust's position is reasonable, but it won't keep most programs free of overflow. Overflow and underflow bugs typically require malicious input to expose; casual testing usually doesn't encounter them.

Also, in release builds they promise an undefined value, not undefined behavior. By my reading, hardware-assisted overflow checks cannot log errors or do anything else useful under this policy. (Probably saturating arithmetic is best, since it's most likely to trigger an out-of-bounds error.)

Their saving grace is the other safety checks (e.g. bounds checking), and their assertion that "we reserve the right to make checking stricter in the future" which enables them to strengthen this policy.
here's a video of it in action.

Quite similar to a normal gun then.

> I find it amusing that the PowerPC, patron saint of ridiculous instructions, has an instruction whose name almost literally proclaims its ridiculousness: rldicl. (It stands for “rotate left doubleword by immediate and clear left”.)

I suspect the POWER team has a good sense of humor. There's also the EIEIO instruction https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.2?topic=set-eieio-enforce-...
To be honest, ASML is "just" an integrator. Parts of these machines are produced all over the world and where real innovation is necessary.
Could somebody say, if you are planning to embark on a new Laravel project and you have no experience, how to begin?

I bought a subscription to Laracasts, and there is a "What's New in Laravel 9" series. But "Laravel from Scratch" is still on 8.
It's not at all clear that you see the distinction, was the point that scrollaway was making, and I agree.

It matters, given that it is far less obvious to me whether or not your "updated" statement is true, depending on which specific age range we're talking about when you say "child" and how large a proportion of that age group needs to have seen any to justify generalising, and what "extreme amounts" are.
The sheer size of the Android user base makes it worth it though.
I think it is not the original figure from the paper but a sketch adapted for general audience? The publishers are now starting to ask scientists to engage audience by "simplified" plots/sketches and keep detailed accurate plots for close community.
Miss. This is not how we do things around here /s
The problem, I think, is the blanket assumption of no difference between professional landlords and those who are not.

Which is to say, if your activities as a landlord bring in more than a small fraction of your income, or actually constitute any part of your day job at all, then you are running it like a business. As with any business concern, you should have planned for and assembled a contingency fund to cover just such an interruption of cash flow. And like any business, if you cannot run it efficiently and effectively enough to survive without having the losses socialized away, your business should be allowed to fail such that its valuable parts can be picked up and recapitalized by others who are better at the business.

But if you have no landlording activities as your day job, and this income only mildly supplements your other income that has nothing to do with landlording, then you are not running it like a business. You are much, much closer to your renters in nature, and should be provided much the same assistance.

What this assistance presents itself as is not something I have the gumption to slap on the table and set in stone, but _should_ include things like either direct waiving (forgiveness) of mortgages by the banks or the mortgages being paid for during the no-eviction period.
I agree with you with regard to the historical specifics; however, the point about intentionally fracturing communities and suppressing communication is consistent with authoritarian oppression of all kinds.
Question: is it legal to download these files to see what data is leaked about yourself?

My issue with haveibeenpwned is that I don't know what's leaked. Note, I'm super happy with the fact that the service exist because I'm happy with the fact to know who of my social circle is in it, so I can notify them. But I don't know exactly what's leaked.

Are passwords leaked, for example? What about my social info is on there?
Indeed, but if you don't put everything to the cloud and consider Ubiquiti as an HW manufacturer: they're pretty good
You can't even do that for civil servants though. The actual number of "encounters gone wrong" vs total encounters is vanishingly small.

People think there is an epidemic of police murdering minorities, but in reality the number of unarmed black men killed by police is somewhere between bear attacks and babies drowning in buckets in terms of annual deaths.

That's not to downplay the horror of such killings, but to put it into perspective of the pervasiveness of the problem. The media and especially social media of turned it into a full blown public health crisis.
Dynamic version numbers based on git tags are absolutely necessary to me, to ease my continuous integration practice, that's also what openstack/pbr does amongst probably other things
Lots of things are at play here (excuse the bad pun):

* SaaS stuff can be built very quickly (if you use cached node_modules or PHP composer's vendor directory) and deployed to parallel CI test runners that don't have much requirements. In contrast, your typical game takes much longer to (re)compile and as soon as you touch anything that requires graphics, you need some sort of (beefy) GPU in the server. Anyone who has ever tried virtualization with PCIe passthrough knows what a pain that is to set up, not to mention NVIDIA explicitly disallowing to virtualize their GPUs.

* It's easy to do unit tests for simple entities and operations (e.g. collision detection, physics)... but games are full of global state mutated from across the place.

* For everything that tests visual (or, god forbid, audio) output, computers are bad at testing. Change a texture? Great, now you have to re-check all your tests if they're still accurate and working. Humans are, for now, still better.

* Hardware-specific bugs: these are one of a goddamn nightmare. For most software, it behaves identically across computers - let's take most Docker containerized software... it will essentially run on anything that's amd64. But games integrate with OSes, especially the OS 3D stack (DX, OpenGL, Vulkan, Metal and on top of that the GPU drivers and GPU firmware) so incredibly deep that there are lots and lots of potential issues and workarounds. It's simply impossible to test for these.

* Closed source components in the loop: Games ship with all sorts of blobs, from video codecs to sound effect libraries. These are in your address space, but you can't really test them.

* Human tests are cheaper than writing test suites and setting up CI test farms (see the first point in my list).
Oh wow, this happened to me too.

Not depression, but severe GERD that started after a course of doxycycline prescribed for acne.

It's not as bad now as it used to be, but I don't remember having these issues at all beforehand.
I lived in India during my childhood and thought nothing of the lack of safety on the roads.

Then I moved to the UK and learned how to drive in the UK. When I went back to India, I felt terrified on the roads.

For example, in the UK you wait for a roundabout to become clear before joining. In India, you speed up before joining the roundabout, in the hope that others will allow you in! If you don't have enough speed or aggression, they won't let you into the roundabout. It's very risky, but no-one seems to care!
> Rattenborg found that ducks with a bird on either side of them put their entire brain to sleep and kept both eyes closed. "However, the ducks at the end of the row slept more with one half of the brain at a time," he says. "And when they did that they directed the open eye away from the other birds, as if they were looking for approaching predators."

When I park my semi truck in a truck parking lot in late afternoon or evening, if the space on either side is empty I leave my parking lights on, until both spaces are filled.

And if I'm unlucky enough to park on the end of the row, I leave my parking lights on all night long. And go to sleep with half my brain awake.
That right there would do more to improve Chinese international relations and faith in the Chinese government than anything they could possibly do otherwise. Hands-down. That is what the world demands, and if they wish to be a global player, they are going to half to get along with everyone else
I have in fact tested everything with GLES 2.0, 3.1, and desktop GL 2.1 and 3.3 and they should all work. If it's as efficient as it could be is another question. I find OpenGL rather messy as an API compared to d3d9.
I find it weird that we have fast food restaurants on the list too. Even weirder is that they compensate with "healthier" restaurants that are so far away we don't have time to get there.
Try the beta. It was a new UI.
I'm in a similar position with a computer illiterate mom going on retirement.

Showing her high resolution pictures and videos of my first newborn little girl via email got her attention and a load of incitament to learn at least how to email/surf.

Her internet provider also sends her an SMS automatically when she get's an email, and then she rush to the computer to fire it up and read the mail to check out the pictures.

On a downside I now recieve nagging emails like "It was long ago I got pictures of my grandchild!" ;)
Apple intro'd built-in SD card slots with the last round of unibody Macbook Pros. The secret sauce is that the SD card is bootable -- you can install OS/X onto an 8Gb card, add some stuff like Techtool Pro, and use it as an emergency boot device.

Use case: your laptop's hard drive fails so you yank it, shove in a new one, boot off the SD card, and use your Time Machine backup -- you've got one, right? You're one of the Saved, right? -- to restore onto the new drive. Total elapsed downtime from hard disk crash to up-and-running again: 1-2 hours plus however long it takes to source a replacement drive.

(The fact that you can get photos off your digital camera is an accidental bonus. Because, hey, your camera is an iPhone in Apple-land ...)
Mesos is written in C++ FYI.
HEY! You shut your filthy mouth!

Also these would be authenticated, nobody should be able to discover which images you have uploaded. The RSS feed and API listing would be for you only.
I wasn’t planning on buying anything on (or “for”) black friday.
Munich tried that and failed. To many plug-ins, addins, macros etc etc etc...
What else should we use that is not over-engineered?
I think my real issues are significantly different from what you may think they are. I've read many behavior and relationship books over the years in my quest to improve my life, but in the end, I seem to be unable to make those "hacks" work in my life.

I've had all the opportunity I could really ever hope for. I was very athletic and popular way, way back in high school, played in a relatively successful rock band for a decade after that, and have a great sense of humor. I am tall (6'3"), dark, but not very handsome :)

Put simply, at a core level, I don't really trust anyone, which turns out to be a nasty self-enforcing attitude.

My earliest childhood memory is of being abandoned, by my Mom, at her sister's house for months and being kept alone, stuck in crib and unattended for most of that time.

I had no idea what was happening and vaguely remember crying until exhaustion day after day, wondering where my Mom was and why she was doing this to me.

I am, personally, 100% convinced that this event, in MY case, led me to my lifelong struggles with relationships and addiction, and that the trauma caused by it created physical damage in the neuronic wiring of my brain.

The odd part is, it wasn't until my Mom talked to me about it a few years before her passing that I was even able to remember it, but when she did it all came back to me; the room, the crib, her scary and unloving sister, my despair.

And listen, I am not trying to turn this into some sort of psycho-babble nonsense...I so very much appreciate your caring words and in no way am I trying to disrespect them or you.
Not just you, I had the same thought, but also included:

MMM: I myself shared many of these misconceptions

(to where I mentally included deMean and disMiss as Ms as well)
