Thank you for this valuable insight.

Do you think relying on something like a hospital-provided tablet would have worked? Was this considered?

I mean, having that many screens may be a bit redundant, if you can have a single high-quality one. That said, I understand it introduces some complexity due to wireless protocols, paring with the right ventilator, etc.
No, I'm including all the antennas in that - why not use directional ones for all the networks in the room to keep the stage free of extra networks?
What do big international companies do when they want to send someone from a non-US office to work on a short term project in a US office?
Wordpress has 70+ employees i think.
It depends how you define "author". Personally I would say that at this point OpenSSH has two authors -- markus and djm -- and a number of minor contributors. Looking at 'cvs annotate', I see that markus committed 42.6% of the LOC and djm committed 32.8% of the LOC, while nobody else was higher than 6.3%. Sure, LOC isn't a very good metric, but within a single project, with everybody using the same language, a 5x gap is significant.

If you look at who is currently working on OpenSSH, the numbers are even more dramatic: djm is responsible for over 80% of the LOC committed in 2010.
Also, there's this alternative to DNS that was pointed out by a commenter in TorrentFreak:

As I pointed on when people were complaining about a .ly domain being pulled for hosting adult content, .com has exactly the same issues.
I would spend it on booze and hookers!
I’m American and that possibility has occurred to me too. The police are trying to manage the situation without inflaming it, and especially without creating some Tienenmann-lite incident of violence.
How would a company with no income or capital pay anyone a salary? If there’s no money there’s no salary.

If you form a company with your own capital and pay yourself back from that to avoid taxes the IRS will probably not like it.
(for context though, I love your site! I just would love tips as someone thinking in this area who ran into what he thought was trouble in this area... I might have just been overly paranoid)
Why are you only quoting the US constitution without also quoting the Russian constitution?
According to some of the more conspiratorial comments in this thread, a coup.

The actual answer is probably that they do not believe the claims of election fraud have been sufficiently investigated. I'm sure they want a more thorough investigation to be held before the election results are officially recognized by congress.

That and they're just angry people who have resorted to rioting - like how a toddler resorts to a tantrum when it doesn't get its way. This appears to be an increasingly common theme with modern US politics.
I'm a fan of MS Word, I really am. These days though, I find that, as an amateur writer, I prefer simpler tools - markdown or google docs. I think this is a slow trend they are (or should be) worried about.

For home users, gmail thoroughly beats Outlook.

Excel is a different beast. I don't have much experience with it, but I've seen it used widely at various places of work (medical and financial). I'd say Excel is now their strongest product when it comes to maintaining a stranglehold.

When you consider the price, advances in google docs, gmail and and OpenOffice, I'm not sure Office is really a good value for most folk. They think they need it - that's a dangerous position to be in - selling a product because people think they need it, rather than actually needing it.
They should default. A few years later the investors will be back the same as before.
This looks like it's not the original source code and was just reconstructed by hand from a disassembly/"decompile" of the worm.
It's one of the major reasons why games use pre-rendered font bitmap tables.
How should one help someone who unexpectedly collapses?

Exactly what you said. Walk up to the person and loudly ask "Are you OK?". If you get a response, then you can ask further questions and provide help. If you get no response, your next move is to use first aid skills and call emergency services. If you are trained in CPR, proceed. Your loud voice might also catch the attention of someone with the appropriate training, or someone who can call emergency services while you administer CPR.

... But this wasn't someone collapsing at a mall, on the street or somewhere else where they might not be noticed. This was someone collapsing on stage. Standing up, rushing the stage and attempting to help could just as easily have caused a riot of well meaning folks and could have gotten in the way of staff who should be trained to deal with this sort of circumstance. I'm not accosting staff for not being prepared, I'm just defending those in the audience who didn't rush to help. As a child, I did a lot of community theater (the sort where you pay $5 to participate and your mother may need to sew your costume), and there was always someone with the appropriate training to handle a circumstance like this (usually our lone director, or a member of tech). Thankfully, we never had an incident, but this makes me wonder ... would they have responded within 15 seconds or waited to see if I tripped and could ad-lib my way back into character? I really don't know.
But that is the point really. Does Twitter need them anymore? Just like Facebook did, slowly cutting down the avenues that developers can access users will increase Twitter's revenue. Developers want an audience so they will jump through Twitter's hoops, just like they do for Apple.

From Twitter's the point of view they're looking to monetize their massive user base, not sustain a startup ecosystem. They won't become overtly hostile to developers or anything but if there is a choice between profit and developers the developers will lose every time.

Anyone who thought this was ever going to be another way once Twitter was established is a bit naive I'm afraid.
It may be unrealistic, but personally I can't fault them for having a problem wasting that much money -- there really isn't a reason he should need thousands of people, 10% of that should have been enough.

But hey, if you don't have to pay the bill you might as well enjoy the show.

Incidentally, I just contacted ColorWare to suggest that they offer "NeXT Black", the paint used on the Cube, as an option. I found the paint specification online in an old NeXT document for developers of NeXTBus expansion cards for the Cube.

(http://www.nextcomputers.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=136&...)

Yes, 3rd party hardware developers were expected to make sure the card-end panel face matched the cube's color, rather than being unsightly bare steel.
At the game studio I work at, they use XML for all scripting tasks: gameplay scripts and UI scripts.

As in, XML nodes are "game script commands" which are executed sequentially.
Those run server side though, right? And I don't see any obvious way of displaying graphics, which is probably the closest you'll get to "tactile" feedback when programming.
T-mobile is supposedly merging with Orange in the UK.
If the article isn't loading for you... then I apologize for choosing [redacted] as a web host. I am looking for reasonably priced developer-friendly alternatives. (I want a shell, but not root.)

If you really mean that, make sure you tell them what you want. Better yet, put your wishes in writing too.
This is really interesting, but I wonder if there is any support for user authentication? Perhaps by combining with basic auth?
Drugs have a purpose beyond trading. Currency does not. I fail to see how these are comparable.
They're getting: a) the founding team, b) a "vanity" acquisition which looks good to shareholders and c) the beginnings of a new social graph - imagine pairing their great content stable with a stack of new social hooks.

Makes sense now that it's been acquired. It was always a FNAC (feature, not a company).
I think "woman in IT" can't be addressed without looking at the career path for IT for men. Some organizations want to hire them young so they are easy to control, let them bungle everything, then lay them off when they have enough experience to not drive over a cliff.

I think women might be smarter at avoiding "people traps" then men.
It should be easy to set up such a key store on server setup or startup. The downside is that, as always, if anyone has access to the user, they can decrypt the keys.
That's not exactly the same thing though. Google glass wasn't made for the military, but of course Google isn't going to refuse to sell them a product that they have made publicly available.

Perhaps the military will want to buy more of Google's tech, but it sounds like Google isn't (currently) planning on building robots for the military.
The way Firefox currently works makes that redundant -- I don't have a menu or toolbar full of bookmarks, I just star pages I'm interested in so I can find them through the "awesomebar" later.

And of course it syncs across Firefox installs, including my Droid.
Works well. Best of both worlds.
There is a great science podcast called "ologies" every episode is on a different branch of science. There is one episode on "Eschatology" which is the scientific study of apocalypse (i.e. unrelated to religious, mythical apocalypse etc, eschatologists study the probability of things that can have existential risk to our species).

In this episode eschatologist Phil Torres [1] claims that (according to some convincing estimates) humans living right now are a lot more likely to die due to a catastrophic event that can wipe out the entire species, compared to dying in a car crash. Since some of my relatives died in a car crash, I was scared of dying this way my entire life, and this put everything in such a weird perspective. As Hawking said, we're likely in the most dangerous part of the entire human history. If we don't get our shit together in the next few decades, our species will never see the next millenium.

Go listen to this episode. It's on Spotify. (I'm not in any way affiliated with that podcast, I just listen to it every once in a while)

Do you know if your data was shared with advertisers before you were able to turn it off?
How much do you think the Debian non-profit makes per year? What about ArchLinux?

How many full time developers are paid by the Linux Foundation?

It's funny, their budget is much smaller than firefox

https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/460...

Maybe all this complexity and constant changes to the web comes from the fact that there are hundreds and hundreds of employees paid to tinker around.

Mozilla is effectively a $500 Million dollar corporation, not a non-profit.

Money corrupts absolutely.
> If you're a foreigner it's much harder to get sponsored by a smaller company. I know a bunch of people are essentially "locked in" to FAANG until they get their green card and are chomping at the bit to work on more exciting things.

I don't believe this, especially not in the current market. Anyone who is actually eager to hire people will be grabbing them up too.
Turkey got kicked out of this programme. It can't be a coincidence right ?
The irony of name "Federal Reserve" is that there is nothing Federal about it. The Fed is a completely autonomous private organization which controls the United States money supply.
That’s because the interview is basically memorizing algorithms.

A real on-site interview should be:

1) give vague instructions on a fixing/modifying a moderately complex piece of software

2) have them ask good questions until they get to the heart of what they are supposed to do.

3) work with someone to accomplish this task. Use google or whatever else you need to finish it.

This interview should be 5 hours long including lunch. This is your best indicator of success.
That complexity is mostly due to Gecko, right? What's stopping Mozilla from switching to Blink? Does using Google's engine conflict with their mission?

Edit: Getting downvotes for this honest question. I didn't realize that browser rendering engines held that much control. Apologies for the silly thought.
No there is no easy way, you need few accountants to handle the payroll. Something coinbase as a 1000+ person company can probably easily afford.
Here's just two examples of rich people who recently bought homes on the coast while telling the plebs to fear the rising water levels:

> The other part of the concern is that the only recourse is to uninstall the updater. However, that means users could miss out on critical security patches and other goodies. In other words, choose your poison.

This reads like utter nonsense. If the software updater provided to you by the manufacturer is delivering malware to you, why on earth would you bother trusting “security updates” it provides to you. Unless there’s any actual evidence, given that the researchers admit the installed apps don’t actually contain malware, it all reads like a bunch of unnecessary scaremongering.
Any explanation of how it being used?
What brand for notebook lock on the left table ?
Trump had a "credible deterrent" that was going to magically maintain order after we left. Obviously nothing Biden could have been privy to despite leading the same military and nation.

There are 8 names on the press release, and probably a few more smaller investors. This doesn't represent a huge amount of money for any given fund - at most probably US$20m or so for the lead. The payoff should BTC prove useful will be in the realms of Facebook/Google/Apple valuations. Even if you think there's only a fraction of a percent probabilty that they'll be successful it'd still be worthwhile putting a few million in (assuming you can afford to lose it).

Personally, I think BTC is going to be OK because there's already a decent ecosystem growing around it. Enough people are keen on it succeeding that it'll do something useful. The real question is whether it'll be a multi-trillion dollar industry that replaces money or a multi-billion dollar industry that's used for secure value transactions or proof of work or something, not than whether or not it'll fail entirely and disappear.
Don't forget drones.
Couldn't get it to run on my Nexus 6. Whenever I press play it goes right back to the title screen.
It's not really any less ethical than trying to strongarm a potential new hire into a salary 10-15k lower than it would have been otherwise, especially when they're likely creating hundreds of thousands in value annually for the company.
I think the GP was referring to "mandating the same function for everything (via a common protocol under the covers) was better than risking people implementing a thousand different method names".
some deeper digging (besides that one Quora post) seems to indicate that he is. I don't have links right now because it took me some hours to find them last time, but it should be said that he is definitely the person shown in his public profile pictures, and if his contributions were supplemented by shadow entities it seems likely that the progression of his work and direction it has taken would be more scattered.
Agreed. But that was also my point - it depends on your application.

Aside from that though, spot instances aren't that volatile. I have some that have been running for months. Obviously they're not always at the low low price they can be, but if you average it out, they're not much higher than that.

In total honesty, I don't use those machines I mentioned. I use ones with 32gb ram and much better CPU performance. I need that ram for what I'm doing and any other provider I've found comes in a lot more expensive to satisfy that requirement. The CPU I get is good enough for what I'm doing.

But again, I don't know anyone other than Amazon that has an infrastructure that flexible at that price.
I've had Beyond Meat chicken. The texture is close but not nearly as close as the article makes it out to be. Some of the flavors are good up front, but sometimes it tastes like something close to playdough.
Not just serving ads but finding more ways to trick users into clicking them. Have you seen the late load ad over the number 1 search result they started a few months ago?
I am a Brit, but respect the usage of "unAmerican". To me, the equivalents on this side of the pond are expressions such as, "That's just not cricket", or, "Do have a care", or "Steady on, now."

These are idioms that express a culture, they are not intended to define rigidly some rules, but rather express a sentiment about shared and almost undefinable values.
Isn't the remedy to that to show them less of the guy who's been lying to them? How will allowing him to continue lying and myth building avoid further violence?
It's not down. You do have to pass a captcha because all the crazies are targeting the site.
>I am loving people who don't understand that they are literally supporting billionaires while claiming to be anti-corporate resistance.

The billionaire in question is Trump, isn't it?

>Definition of Liberal used to be: "Willing to respect or accept behavior or opinions different from one's own; open to new ideas. Relating to or denoting a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise."

Well this just comes back to the paradox of tolerance. I consider myself a liberal (in the British or non-American sense) and in my opinion fascism should not be tolerated.
Hmm... might be!
Their legal cases are not being silenced though. They've been free to submit their many lawsuits and they've been rejected for not having any legal merit.

The mainstream media gave them a platform for 5 years. When Trump announced that he was running for president, every media platform was reporting on it. We've been seeing and listening about this administration and it's supporters more than any other administration in the past. They've had a very loud voice that this week culminated on the invasion of the US Capitol.
The were not squeezed out of public debate, they've had a huge platform but their arguments as of late have become violent and dangerous.
The tweets were not benign, and the repercussions were obvious and many people predicted this outcome. You are being hopelessly obtuse because you are blinded by fanaticism.
> Clamping down is not notoriously effective.

"We find that the ban worked for Reddit. More accounts than expected discontinued using the site; those that stayed drastically decreased their hate speech usage-by at least 80%. Though many subreddits saw an influx of r/fatpeoplehate and r/C******n "migrants," those subreddits saw no significant changes in hate speech usage"[0].

I expect if Parler et. al. took similar stances against hate speech and open calls to violence, they would see similar results.

> Without a clear understanding of how a problem came to be, how can it be fixed?

You can't test a treatment without an intervention.

I agree with the action and disagree with their justification.

Because of the weakness of their justification, this could be further gasoline on the fire for his 74 million supporters. I frequently find myself having to argue with said supporters, and I can't argue that this justification makes sense other than to say... well they should have banned him before hand.

It feels like they were looking for almost anything remotely shitty that Trump said to ban him. More specifically, they are looking for a reason to ban him based on saying anything not in support of the next administration, because of his supporters storming the capital. I can see the chain of logic here, I just think it's a little weak and being selectively enforced.

Edited: to make more sense hopefully.

Looks like a Mobius transformation which is rational function f : C -> C, on the complex plane, of the form

f(z) = (a z + b) / (c z + d).

The key feature is that this is a conformal transformation which means it preserves angles (between curves).

Reading it a bit more I guess thats clear.
You mean of course the fall of Saigon, not Vientiane.
I'm from Meghalaya and the thing that annoys me most is the irreverence that tourists have for these structures and their nearby surroundings. A lot of tourists would litter and step into places they're not supposed to, and make a living hell for the people who maintain these tourist sites. Almost all tourist sites in Meghalaya (especially outside of urban areas) are maintained by the 'shnong' (village) and although they do get some revenue from tourists, it's not necessarily their only source of income. Maybe they should make these places prohibitively expensive to enter so that people would hopefully care more.

*edit: I should add that the entry fee is usually dirt cheap, even free for some places
It's very pretty. And already blew.
cough How many Aussie blokes follow that law? Because a maximum of one hand on the wheel seems to be a requirement to be considered a man.
I dunno, the "Trickle-Down Performance" section on Cosmopolitan describing the hand-tuned memcpy optimization gives me the impression that there might still be quite a lot of missed optimization opportunities there due to pessimistic assumptions about register use:

Technically it's had support since (IIRC) Windows 7. What this does is call the translation functions for you instead of having to do it yourself.
In Romanian we say: "don't act stupid, you risk staying that way". So the folk wisdom would be that neutral people do get stupid. It makes sense, the brain is like a muscle, if you don't exercise it, it withers (at least a bit).

And despite how we feel about it, the solution will probably be what we've always done: we promote what we think are good things and demote what we think are bad things (i.e. if you want to take it to the extreme, you can call it censorship, propaganda, etc.). The internet is also slowly getting filtered and I don't think we're losing much for it. Most of the stuff out there is garbage, as you've noticed.
This is there to make decoding faster. I think it's a mistake.
I think refusal to adopt this methodology to hold on to power, and refusal to toe the line, was what made Stalin so mad with Josef Tito in Yugoslavia. [1]

That depends a lot on your geography. There are a lot of parts of the US - particularly inland, and at northern latitudes - where being able to drive in the snow is absolutely necessary for much of winter and even a good chunk of spring/fall.

And even for those geographies where it's only "a couple of days a year", that's still a couple of days where if you really need to be on the road for some reason, you'll really wish you had the right vehicle for it.

Has anything like RR been developed for the .net Core CLR or Framework?
Very interesting indeed. But if one read again all depends the idea of quantum field theory or "like all charged particle it interacts with its own field to create virtual particles" etc. It is hard to understand for old guy learning basic physics long time ago.
