A certain past US administration got rid of mental institutions by denying funding, which in turn dramatically increased # of homeless in US.
evil-mode is not without problems either. In particular, it doesn't work very well outside of "regular" code/text buffers. Using it in GDB/scratch/other buffers is very inconvenient.

So if migrating from Vim to Emacs + evil, you still have to learn how vanilla Emacs works. At least this was my experience when trying it out.
No, that has been refuted to death (on reddit, mostly) - the BitTorrent Sync folder was created much later by random people making the same faulty assumption.
What would you suggest for this situation:

a low priority admin page renders a 3000 row, 30 col table on the server using react. The query and resulting page size are pretty small < 2MB but this takes 5s for react to render.

I didn't expect it to be this slow and can't use client side rendering.
An other point would be, to inform the allocator, that it is likely/unlikely that a reallocation will be done ... in most cases, such information is available.

I agree. A lot of blocks which get allocated are never resized (e.g. objects), while other blocks may be subjected to frequent resizing - expanding buffers and strings being the most common example. malloc()/realloc() are very simple APIs, and work for the general purpose of "I want to allocate some memory/resize it", but this simplicity also means that they can't take advantage of specific usage patterns very well.

Working with data of indeterminate size is always going to involve more complexity, and while it may look like a solved problem (just resize when there is not enough space left) as evidenced by the proliferation of string implementations in various languages, the efficiency aspects are more subtle and still well within the area of "programmer must know what he/she is doing". Designing systems and protocols that don't need resizing of allocations, for example (how long something is, is easily calculated and known in advance.)
Given the proliferation of comments about how to avoid linking meatspace and digital personas, having a laptop with a camera constantly filming your face, and a piece of software designed to recognise only your face stored next to your incriminating digital files seems like an escalation of risk to me.
I hope this doesn't come across as rude, but I sure hope that you got to deal with that fear with a professional. That would be a difficult way to live...

Sorry that you had to go through that!
Two people that have had surgery to look beautiful are going to marry, fall in love and start a family. And then be really surprised when their baby comes out fugly.
A better way to handle these (in my opinion) is to use the Secrets.prefPane .. and the related website:

A much more comprehensive collection of tweaks and tips for OSX administration.. though I did learn a few things from WhiskyKilo which were quite interesting - I have wondered how to do this from the command line for years and am glad to have finally learned: "sudo softwareupdate -i -a" .. fantastic!
it does too:

I've been trying to do it for years, but you've just tipped me over the edge .. off to buy a new hard drive to contain all my music, export from iTunes, delete ~/Music, and start again .. fresh .. as if it were 1999 all over again and all I have to do is organize my music folders manually again, just like I used to .. Pity there's no way to manage iOS apps outside of iTunes, though.
Does DDG attempt to detect sites that serve malware though? Also, s/browser/search engine/.
You're right but everything is skewed towards being called an attack nowadays. I don't agree that these are all trolls. Very rarely do I see outright "attacks" on people, it almost always just something the majority of whatever social media platform you're on disagrees with.
xonsh worked poorly with curses based applications when I tried it a while ago.
They don't tell the audience this otherwise they won't be able to fleece them. "It's so easy to make apps" "Learn X in 40 projects".

I think the problem is also compounded by people who mostly have superficial knowledge of programming (a few frameworks here and there, couple languages etc) and are in the software industry and carry the title of programmers and engineers.
Is there any grind-catch in chess, like in addictive videogames? And why novel writting, but not reading? Both are seen as intellectual, but reading I'd say has far higher chance to end in brainless consuming, wasting intellectual potential.
Hey, they can spend 1-2 years with me, learn to be a good developer, and then happily go do whatever they want. I'm not binding them to be with me and my company forever.

This is not the US startup scene. There are decent alternatives which don't use people up. No VCs, so no short term fixations beyond having enough runway to last 6 months.
If humanity wants it badly enough, she can buy it.

Considering the general waste of human ressources worldwide, I don't think she herself thinks she is in dire need of a higher intellectual potential.

That may change at the moment of 'peak human'.
With shrinking population, the then existing unused intellectual potential and others may be higher valued.

Of course, just in case artificial intelligence and creativity are not more cost effective and profitable than the human one.
How do you carry your monitor? this has been a problem for me during covid. also there is the work chair problem..
I'm not saying that SEO spam will be clubhouse's problem. But there are more kinds of marketing than SEO. The "investment seminar" scam, for example, has been running for decades in the real world.

I also think it's a mistake to think that common sense will save us. Everybody has weaknesses, and any given scam is carefully optimized for its target audience.
Jokes about death in such a way are in poor taste; I'd encourage you to reflect on why you think that's funny and change.
I agree with you, that's how I viewed it. I've distributed typeform in the past and thought it would have been nice and acceptable to record partial answers given that each step feels like a submission; kind of like if I enter my shipping address in step 1 of a checkout process, it is stored once I move to the billing address in step 2.
Someone whose motivation is looking after their family will do anything to do so. Even JavaScript.
Complaints about the terms are 'no true Scotsman...' arguments. DDOSing and Botnet attacks are crude, brute-force attacks, but finesse has never been a requirement for a good hack - it's the icing on the cake but ultimately it's the result that matters. Being pompous about terms just comes across to the general public as nerd rage, much like gun aficionados whining about terminological niceties following reports of a mass shooting incident.
Arithmetic confined to addition, subtraction, and multiplication by constants is Presburger arithmetic. It's decidable; there are automatic theorem provers for statements in it. The classic Oppen-Nelson prover converts theorems to be proven to matrices, then uses
linear programming on rational numbers as a solution mechanism. That may be isomorphic to this approach.
Hardware is certainly not the use case for remote workers, but your average Facebook news feed developer doesn't have those same requirements.
Luckily, you're not important enough for people to target.

Luckily, neither am I.
The guys at http://stackvm.com/ use node.js.

I was disappointed to learn javascript does not support tail recursion. Kind of makes it a 2nd class functional language.
Were I a web designer, I'd be tempted by this job posting.

Is a bit of cynicism and humor really that awful? I thought the last paragraph gave a very clear idea of the sort of person they're looking for.
Yep, we're using it to run Readability server-side --> http://preona.net/2010/11/ever-wanted-arc90s-readability-as-...

Some things are a bit less mature than one might desire, but all in all it's a pretty brilliant piece of technology and I find myself using it more and more.
But they pretty much show the exploit in the previous pane... How could they not get the exploit?
Startup Weekend Cambridge is in a couple of weeks and should be a good place to meet people.

I wrote a general list of london startup events a while back:

Also know by myself as The Bible. Its new version, Rework, has been by the bed since it was released. Really inspiring book even if you don't agree with everything, it shows you a different view of lots of interesting topics in an easy to read way. Highly recommended.
"And like many big companies, Google has been acquiring new technologies, like Android, instead of inventing them."

Google acquired Android? Did I miss something or should that be reversed?
To be frank, more people would be saved with fallible yet cheap medical hardware than 'proven correct' hardware that costs $100,000 plus.
If only 0.5% of your visitors will notice something, but this is 0.5% of a very large number (because your site is already successful), then go for it. The point is that perfectionism is not the right attitude when you're building a minimum viable product.
The risk is that the employer is saying “don’t declare more than 20 hours”, but everybody knows that you have to do more if you want to meet your targets / not be dropped
FYI Ally is just a marketing rebrand of GMAC, one of the financial giants involved in the 2008 housing crash. That alone makes me steer clear of them.
I use Scheme/Haskell for most of my scripting purposes, the only exceptions being the cases where I want to make use of some extant library, in which case I switch to Python/Ruby. I used stumpwm for a while, which was written in Common Lisp, and a few months ago switched to XMonad, which is all Haskell. All my editing is done in Emacs, which uses a variety of Lisp (elisp.)

Given that close to 100% of my time is spent in XMonad, and >50% of my time is spent in Emacs, and every session involves at least some interaction with my collection of scripts... I'd say I use quite a lot of useful programs written in those fanfare-laden languages.
What other lessons should I be taking from this?

You answer your own question: But here’s where I failed to recognize the breakdown in communication; the responsibility of handling / recruiting ME, had passed on to a person I’d never met in a different coast.

One lesson: Avoid breakdowns in communication
Another lesson: Know where you are in the hiring process at all times, and who has responsibility for your case.
A third lesson: Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Always have a backup plan.
RedHat and a sizeable number of companies will disagree with you there. Open source is perfectly profitable and competitive.
I'm available.
SHOMG LETS FHIGUR OUT THE SHOLUTHION 2 THA ALGORITHUMZ!!1!!
They probably don't want me, else they would have Microsoft Linux, totally open and free, the paid version of course would offer more.
You have a tracking image embedded in the emails. It points at a redirector script which does no validation of the destination url. This is highly abusable. Example:

Hmm.. well, maybe it challenges the notion slightly, by highlighting the fact that winning is abnormal.

But then again, 'normal' is such a loaded term.
That's even worse! One of the major points of an application being installed by root is that it's protected from modification by users and programs users run.

Thanks for the heads up.
Stock market is the most efficient grader of all? Really? Algorithmic trading accounts for over 70% of US equity trading volume. If there ever was a time when you could grade a CEO based on the stock market performance, that time is long gone. Check your assumptions.
Well, it was focused mostly on his reputation, not on the code. If he had been involved in writing a back door, this is precisely the kind of response he'd write. It makes it personal, etc.

Someone who hadn't written a back door would simply say: "That is crazy, I had nothing to do with a back door and none exists to my knowledge. I welcome a thorough audit of the code".
Great hack! Not mentioned: They have to be yellow (as pictured) to get the desired effect.

Cable ties are also used to ward off magpies in Australia during the nesting season.
The thing is it is actually worse than that. It is 100% conversion with the assumption that every single visitor would instead use accusing site instead of going to any of the other alternatives.
This is fantastic.

I'm thoroughly impressed with the Chromium authors. From their continuous build cycle (http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/waterfall/console) to their very active developer community, it's clear that they are driven to make a better browsing experience for everyone. By getting themselves into the business world, the footprint they've created in the browser market can become even larger.
That is not true for UK where there are different pounds which are printed by different banks. Some of these pounds are NOT LEGAL - you are free to refuse accept them. They are there because people agree to use them.

And no - money has nothing to do with taxes and initially it was based on social agreement. Pacific stone coins weight tonns - some of the ones that are still in use physically do not exist anymore or are inaccessible in the bottom of ocean.

So from that viewpoint these cryptocurrencies all are like early monies - based on agreements and trust.

And ffs - people are weird these days - money is worth only when dealing with other people - taxes(earliest form of robbery) is not and wont be one of the reasons for money to exist. Goverment, that takes care for people and decide what they have to do and think don't need money to run society. Money is needed when independent people/souzerains deal with other people - slaves and children and sick/unsane dependant people and pet animals do not need money as they have no voice in these matters
> the $2 is the monetary value of the surplus labour (S), also known as "unpaid" labour

What about risks and decision making, investing in the future products and potential failures? How much is "paid risk" and "unpaid labor", how to objectively evaluate that?

I would argue that $2 is paid risk, not unpaid labor, how to prove that that's not the case?

Also, if I paid you a salary, and than the product failed in the market, is it just according to marxists to ask your salary back, or, if the product was net loss, to ask you to pay for it as an employee?
I assume that's true, but you're missing the perspective that 2003 was well after the crash, and to someone who lived through it and generally aware but not an expert, it really seemed like they would never make money, their stock had cratered, and they were just staggering on a bit longer than other dotcom flameouts. I mean, that was the picture you got from the financial press (remember when Apple was always described as "troubled" or "beleaguered"?)
I regularly visit Adam West's feed. I knew Adam and going to see some of his corny posts (like Moose Wayne) are an occasional comfort and not only remind me of him but remind me of watching the tv series as a child with my late father.

Sadly, I've noticed that DMs don't seem to be forever on twitter as all of our private messages to each other are all gone, the bulk were gone before he even passed away.

Given his account is verified I would hope that Twitter keeps that content as long as the service survives, but for those with family and friends that have passed that weren't high profile, they may also take comfort in going through then posts of those accounts and this is kinda blah.

I get it from a cost view, it costs money to keep all of that data but I somewhat feel that a company that has user created content is socially obligated to maintain that content as long as they continue to have that product or until the user wants it removed whichever comes first.
Some big part of the data movement can be eliminated by introducing persistent RAM, i.e. the memristor that never happened unfortunately. When the missing component is finally invented I think we'll have an opportinity to revisit some of the core OS concepts, such as a file. Just imagine for a second you have a persistent random-access memory device that doesn't require you to serialize/deserialize things, or move and resolve the binary modules. Your binary module/app will be executed right where it's stored, provided that it was resolved and prepared when it was first copied to your file system. Similarly, a JSON file will be stored as a memory structure rather than serialized JSON (converted to text as necessary, e.g. when viewed in a text editor) Etc. etc.

There are some really interesting changes that can potentially happen when the memristor type of memory becomes available, possibly with its own problems too, but with the huge benefit of moving less data.
Хорошо сказал, товарищ.
That's how it worked for me (privacy advocacy protests in France). But now that I think about it, it makes sense that big protests are actually more of a recruiting tool for already established organization than a way to know each others. My example may be marginal in that it was on a small subject that did not bring a lot of big names.
There is something similar to what you are describing.

This reminds of infinite monkey theorem.

"Has" is not exactly the right word to use. A closer analogy might be that momentum flows through both matter and antimatter quantum fields as it traverses between particles. It's more of a current than a charge. If you "froze" it and cut out a slice of the space between two particles, you wouldn't find anything there any more than you'd find electricity inside a slice of a cut power cable.
It seems to work perfectly fine either way for me. Not sure what the complaint is?
It's worth pointing out the self serving and cynical reason for pursing a "genocide" determination when cultural genocide or crimes against humanity is more appropriate. "Cultural genocide" would equivalate Xinjiang forced integration with Canadian self-professed cultural genocide of indigenous peoples. Which would create the difficult position of questioning disparity in reprisal for one event and not another, both domestically and abroad. Canada literally admitted to cultural genocide - explicitly because it's a consequence free label.

It's the same reason why Pompeo pressed for genocide on his way out, despite his own state department finding there's insufficient evidence for such determination, compared to more appropriate "crimes against humanity" or "cultural genocide". Bluntly because the latter two have no formal conventions, i.e. there is no obligation to punish. The semantic game is significant and self-serving. If punishment for "crimes against humanity" were ever formalized, it would open up US actions to similar scrutiny (i.e. war crimes). Similarly for Canada, labelling XJ "cultural genocide" and setting norms to punish it would open Canada to punishment. Hence elaborate propaganda, exaggerated word games and non-binding resolutions. To be clear, XJ is absolutely "cultural genocide" / "crimes against humanity" - but it's not genocide. If the US state department, under lying Pompeo can't comfortably rationalize the determination, it's because the accusation is flawed. Rather these efforts are specifically designed to target only Chinese human rights violations while insulate against western ones.

A serious campaign actually sympathetic to human rights will attempt to prosecute XJ as "crimes against humanity", for which there is a feasible avenue for prosecution, and start a formalize process for punishing this and future events. But Canada doesn't want to do that, because they will suffer from the fallout. The US doesn't want to do that... because lol, the Hague Invasion Act exists specifically so US can get away with "crimes against humanity". Realistically no country wants to go down that route, not just because no hands are clean, but because no one wants to be punished the next time their hands get dirty. Finally, there's no compelling reason to insist on "genocide" label outside of domestic politics, which will never stick internationally, least of all because China still has plurality international support, from Islamic nations no less, for XJ being a counter insurgency response. TL;DR: it's theatre.
The F-35 didn't fail. The goal was to provide porkbarrel jobs in the districts of the politicians who pushed for it.

It has been clear that it wasn't going to be a useful platform for USAF for years.
When you are sending with a credit card, you are not sending it anywhere near "instantly". The receiving end pays a 2-3% fee, and doesn't actually get access to the funds for anywhere from a few days to a month later. And even once they receive the money, it can be clawed back if it's fraudulent, was done with a stolen card, etc.
“Point particle” is an approximation that doesn’t accurately predict reality. It only works at large actions.

Classical is R^3, quantum is R^3 -> C. (Sort of; this glosses over a lot.) Objects don’t really have a concrete location; they have complex-valued distributions.
I'm in the same boat - I'm the one building it, and my focus is on the user experience, but the business model won't tolerate the amount of video on someone else's service. :(

I haven't had FFMPEG nightmares yet, but I've done relatively little with it so far.

Any video apps I should look out for? I'm also pursuing a content creation angle that I've yet to spec out, so I'm always curious as to how others have approached the problem.
Typora is in beta. When it comes out of beta it will cost $$$. You can pay them then. In the meantime, enjoy the free beta.
Here is how it can go down, the cops are chasing Bill, because Bill is able to demonstrate that fracking is causing cancer, and all the politicians knew about it and were bribed. PRISIM intercepts bill talking to his dealer, and knows that he will have a small amount of weed on his person for sciatica because his state doesn't have medical marijuana. Send the cops an "anonymous" tip, and are instructed to make an example of this guy, and throw the book at him. Any hard documents are now confiscated as part of the arrest, and the state simply declares the documents to have been tampered with, but include sensitive data, so the public will never see it.
Wait a sec- is Yahoo Messenger video chat a common means of communication between terrorists?

"Sidney, get on yahoo we have to discuss the subway bombing. Alright. Is your webcam on? Come on we have to use the webcams- so much communication is nonverbal! I just read this story on time.com about the importance of face to face communication- it was really fascinat-- what? Oh alright back to the bombing. But first turn your webcam on."
I know that function calls are fundamentally just jmp calls underneath, and that's exactly what a goto is too, but we built high level language compilers (including C compilers) so that we didn't have to deal with goto-centric spaghetti any more.

As with everything, gotos work just fine if you restrict yourself to a few specific uses. At that point, however, you've basically just invented function calls, switch statements, and maybe exceptions if your rules aren't strict enough, which can all be managed by a compiler which always generates the correct number of jmp's to do the job.

EDIT: you could more accurately replace each instance of "function call" in the above with "subroutine" as FORTRAN defines them, which is closer to what you get for free with gotos than a function call with an actual stack pointer.
