ICBM's also can't use GPS or equivalent navigation satellites, as those will likely be the first to be taken out in a nuclear exchange. They use inertial guidance (https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/30254/this-isnt-a-sci-... ) maybe together with some star navigation system for mid-course guidance.

Amazon offers discounts on their Kindle devices if you accept ads on it (as I recall they're fairly nonintrusive, appearing when the device is otherwise inactive not pop-ups jumping out at you during normal use). This is the same premise as some older free internet services and very cheap "internet appliances", back when those were a thing.
You assume this is standard, but it's merely a crib from other languages. Haskell, for a zany instance, just uses spaces: `List Int`.
Amen. This pretty well articulates what I experience at work with .NET on a day to day basis. When I code other stacks there's always a library or a plugin to do X. At work its always "we can buy something or build it in house." Frustrating to say the least.
I was the same (although got to see the acquisition from the inside which was pretty interesting), we were in Aus though which meant we had comparatively high degree of independence, ie all our dev platforms, code tools were hosted locally. So our team stayed pretty much the same, nerf guns, christmas trees, boardies in the office and all. Releases slowed but revenue went up which meant we could take time to really think through releases etc. Learnt heaps about the business of software as opposed to just engineering. So good and bad like most things.

Generally I think it depends on the group; as with any large group there's the excellent and below average, you just see more of it. Different to a startup/small company though where you can't really suffer poor performance for long.

As a engineer I went into dev management. Anything above IC5/6 (high level engineer) in Aus seems not really to happen, but more a function of less product dev as opposed to service delivery in Aus. This is generally true of Aus. Good product management and strategic releases, so was interesting experience. I found your M/IC level matters dealing internally within the org, ie trying to make stuff happen with people you've never met before means you prioritise based on looking at ARIA, but what you'd expect in a large distributed org.

I've got friends still there, still fighting the good fight. As with all things it's really about what you make of it and want to do.
Just got mine too. Sadly no notebook though. I'd rather have that, but still good news.
> I was totally turned off when he claimed winning a martial arts contest by finding a loophole in the rules

That's not really my style either but it is a bit amusing that he did it.

I guess I just have a filter for those things. I'm mostly inspired by his unconventional thinking and the idea of non-conformity. Even if I don't agree with everything he says, I love that he's always looking for different and better (at least to him) ways of doing things.

Neither can LastPass. All your data is encrypted before it's sent to their servers. It's only decrypted client-side.
Great article. I think most developers would jump at the chance to be more involved in "the process"; that is, working hand-in-hand with designers and not just being given some set of specs to whip up. The more mistakes you make, the more you learn. Plus, getting products or features into the hands of users gives you more valuable feedback than any amount of meeting-room discussion ever could.

This quiz has the benefit of actual experts on the condition involved. A lot of "autism tests" online basically test for being an introverted geek, and a lot of the pop psych discussion strikes me as an effort to dismiss introversion, geekiness, and intellectualism as medical conditions.

Suppose some un-id'd process is continually writing stuff of no value to a file - unnecessarily wearing storage. Replace that file with another 'file' carrying it's name that is actually a symlink to /dev/null. Send that garbage where it belongs (until the source can be terminated with prejudice).

> I’m not sure the federal government has the plenary power to enforce such things in the United States.

I am certain it hasn’t. But the same reasoning applies for state governments. Having public health decisions taken at the county level is sheer madness.

> The lockdowns, even as implemented, extracted an enormous toll on small businesses and mental health.

This is entirely true, and I hope this will make people and governments take health issues and depression more seriously. Now, we don’t have an alternative earth to experiment, but whether one strict lockdown for 6 months followed by progressive reopening is better or worse for people and the economy compared to a succession of waves and partial lockdowns with no end in sight should certainly be discussed.

This is even more skewed in countries that do not have a proper safety net and where people have the choice between going to work ill or not having a job.
With your house keys you can walk into any hardware store and get as many duplicates as you like. With a U2F key that is prohibited.

Not American, but the Wikipedia entry on the incident suggests that the two aren't in any way comparable.

At the same time, sentencing a 15-year old kid (who hasn't even committed murder) to life in prison and not reconsidering it so far into the 21st century - that's cruel and unusual punishment. Boggles my mind.

6M requests a day. Assuming a "US East Coast dominates" traffic pattern which is typical for this kind of site, that means their rps probably spikes north of 10K, but I'd be surprised if it's over 50K.

I disagree that startups with millions of customers handle less traffic. There are probably some exceptions that prove the rule, but once you're into millions of customers you are most likely over 50K rps at peak times.
Take possession and hold them until their fines are paid and if they fail to pay them in a certain period auction them off to recoup the costs.
The problem is that the title is misleading. It's like an article with the title "New world record in the 100 meters dash using a new technique" and in the middle of the article it explains that it's about bungee jumping a 100m fall.
I think this is a problem with GP's comment, not with the original SSC article. It really does seem like ADHD is just "lowest x percent of the population by conscientiousness" which isn't exactly what GP wrote, and a bunch of people replied to GP explaining the differences between conscientiousness and what he wrote.
First of all, let me say as someone who has struggled with dependency in the past that you have my deepest sympathies. I hope you find the support you need to overcome the issues you are dealing with.

I do have to object to one statement you made:

>Very little research has been done on the long-term effects of prescription stimulant use.

This is objectively untrue. There has been a great deal of research done on the long term effects of prescription stimulant treatments. The preponderance of the evidence shows that long term use of stimulant medications has limited negative consequences and is generally safe. Here is one such study, and you can explore the citations/related articles to find more:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11322742/

Speaking as someone who was also diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, the consequences for me personally being unmedicated are far greater than the anticipated long term consequences, and on the whole the treatment is an acceptable risk.

If anyone is out there who is suffering but is afraid of taking medication, don't be. Talk to a medical professional, and learn for yourself the pros/cons. Treatment with prescriptions has the potential to reduce your suffering.
I think the gif at the top is an approximation of what that result would look like -- cutting the square into just 6 "pieces" to make a circle. But it's absolutely not something that can be cut up and given to children.
None of the morning or prime time shows should be considered journalism. This article has no credibility in my eyes as the author cannot differentiate between 60 minutes and Fox & Friends.

Also, not sure how mentioning that he can smell marijuana is bad journalism. He is suppose to report what he sees, smells or hears. Is a journalist suppose to edit himself to push a particular view?
I don't know anything about their net code, but I suspect this is more about the fact that the game is less dependent on precise timing then something like a shooter or Smash.

While I agree that things are less necessary in a modern language, I disagree that Java is "unconstrained." This is especially false when one considers that the "entry point" to your code is more dependent on how the framework you are using calls it.

It gets laughable when you have codebases that have "gone all in (functional|object oriented|any other style)" where they seem to mistake the style for the goal, which should be to solve a problem. (I say this as someone that is pretty sure I have made those mistakes.)
This is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. You are framing this in terms of "cognitive deficit" which is specifically a (poorly defined) function of a generally high level capability test focused on brain function evaluation.

Intelligence is not simply the theoretical capability to do higher reasoning in a structured test in my opinion - it's the functional capability to actually prove you can do higher reasoning through demonstration.

You can't just go "a-chopping" anywhere any have the same functional capabilities. If I chop off your thumb, you are significantly functionally less intelligence in a practical test: if my intelligence test requires you to zip up your pants as a step, you would do much more poorly without your thumbs than someone with 40 fewer IQ points.

Think differently - if you can't prove you're more intelligent by actually DOING something then you aren't more intelligent.
My question was that while this particular chariot seems like it might have been used for ceremonial purposes, was that true for all chariots? The military context is interesting, but its surely only part of the picture.

To put it a different way, after its military significance faded, was it actually relegated to purely ceremonial uses or was it a popular means of transportation?

A lot of web requests are tens of millliseconds due to the latency of speaking to the database. The abolity to fire several requests to the database instead of serialising them is one of this optimisations that you really can’t do in threaded model without introducing other asynchronous systems components.
I think that's probably still true for what 32-bit systems are still out there today.

And regardless, I think the majority of systems running Linux today are phones, which usually have 4GB or less of RAM.

But I expect the FAQ was probably originally thinking about desktop or server systems, so, yeah, the intent there is probably out of date. Those types of systems are rarely 32-bit these days, and usually have a bit more than 4GB of RAM.
It's a good question. I'd flip it around a bit and say that if you're a search engine that:

- Hosts commercial advertising content (not the entire web; only product and service offerings)

- Charges for hosting

- Has a highly qualified audience that genuinely wants to receive relevant advertising (based on requests being user-initiated, not software-initiated)

- Claims credit for revenue generated as a result of providing relevant advertising

... then you're likely to be able to cover the costs of developing and maintaining the system.
> If you are a generalist and you feel undervalued, you're likely in the wrong project or too involved in phases of a project where your contribution can't move the needle significantly anymore.

Generalists could also be the people in the project who get things done: they may have sufficient domain knowledge to implement the recommendations of a specialist. In poorly-managed or understaffed teams, a generalist might feel a bit frustrated because they're a go-to for any Job That Needs Doing Right Now, even if it falls outside of the field of their deepest experience.
The issue is "banning" something which those versed in the art know is impossible to ban -- thereby only removing it from the law abiding, and not from the abusers of said item. (proof: Research how cartels get weapons produced under such a "ban". TL;DR: Trivially, by contract engineers w/ basic modern milling machinery.)

Frightened, ignorant (of the state of the art) people are led to believe "banning" is helping them "making them safe", when instead it is harming them: nobody law-abiding remains to come to their aid, while abusers and thugs wield powerful weapons, unopposed. Instead, benighted government officials ban common farmer livestock varmint rifles by the hundreds of thousands (see: Canada, just now).

So, no -- if someone wants to ban something, then they should darn well consult with anyone who knows something about that item, to see if A) it makes sense, and B) if it will actually prevent the violent from obtaining/using it.
Le Goff wrote a lot about everyday medieval life too. His books are very readable
Yes, actually. In that period I was doing intermittent fasting in addition to running 5k daily. I started at ~210/215 lbs and dropped down to around ~190 or so. Once I started taking meds and winter hit I stopped running so I'm back to around 210.

I was a non reader of T_d, but their front page manipulation was on everyone, you needed no subscription to their sub to be afflicted by their shenanigans.

I mean Reddit changed their algorithms to ensure this never happened again.

T_D was 4chan tier stuff built around “owning the libs” and rubbing it in everyone’s face. The grace of a boozed uncle who wants to dance on your grave.

The other fun part is how long T_D was allowed to run Amok. Special gloves to avoid looking bad, something that’s also forgotten.

If you want to know how bad it is, simply see what their voat/ parler versions look like.

And I’m also not the kind of person who actually did the history digging and detective work on user accounts. This is all passive observation of internet drama.

The T_d crowd was happy with dog whistles and coded racism. For them to find r/politics or any other sub offensive is but natural.
Iirc long-filenames are stored as "invalid" directory entries regardless of FAT12/16/32 so if you had win95+ then long-filenames was everywhere (although not entirely sure but i guess win3.x/old dos could corrupt the extended part even if the short-form always was valid)
> And to add to this, the more that one comes to understand the machinations of central banks (particularly the behavior of the US Fed)....

I have a pretty good idea of the way the Fed works and I have no interest in holding bitcoin. The Fed seems to be doing a really good job targeting the inflation rate even in times of financial crisis in the past couple of decades.

Bitcoin prices are too unstable to be anything more than a crypto lottery.

> and the limited long-term viability of the dollar-centric monetary system, the more one sees it from this perspective.

If anything the dollar has become stronger since we got off the gold standard and has become the unofficial currency of the world. China may be eventually be the other -- that is, if you ignore things like the mysterious disappearance of Jack Ma.

For instance, a lot less people buy new cars in europe, not to mention the developing world.
I mean, outside of polar regions, solar + battery hybrids work well enough year-round. Solar + fuel cell + battery hybrids can work in Polar winter if you can transport enough fuel, but the exhaust requirement is a problem (moving parts + can't let your fuel cell + batteries get buried in the snow). The solar panels also need to be raised every once in a while (or mounted high enough in the first place).

Eventually reversible fuel cells might be a good option (use excess solar in the summer to produce methanol or whatever, then consume it in winter).

There's also the fact that the system uses 802.11b wireless, which makes any downloads unbearably slow.

In addition, the PSP's prices for older titles are quite high-usually around $20. For a few titles(especially the ones published by Atlus), this means that the download is cheaper than a physical copy because of the rarity of the software. For a lot of games, however, it's possible to find cheaper copies on eBay or even in big box store bargain bins.
Great tip! I don't know why I didn't think of that before. I'll sure be adding it as soon as I can :-)
1. This Week In Whatever is used all over the place both pre and post twit.tv foundation. I myself used to watch a show called this week in nascar (by all means feel free to stereotype me if its easier for you). I dont recall them crying like babies when "this week in tech" asked for donations "omg twit.tv is leveraging on TWIN sucess and our fans will be tricked by donating to a dif show".

2. Leo Laporte is a pro, has natural talent, and does his own thing surrounded by friends. He revolves his thing around his audience with which he has deep feedback (irc/forums/twitter/blog/general openness). There is a community there. TWIT.tv is a living and very active organism. He aims at a professional artisan feel. He knows where he's going (vihart, jeri ellsworth etc) and how knowledge needs to be presented. His network has SOUL. Its a real NET which WORKS.
I'll skip commenting on ThisWeekIn.com because they have people getting paid for years to get right what i (or anyone that, hint, understands how products need audiences as much as audiences need products) could type in a few lines. I dont enjoy speeding up slow trainwrecks. They have a few human pearls in that train of mediocrity. Ever wished the best for something you know wont have it?

3. Leo Laporte is not a perfect human being (shocking, i know), and thus, everytime some random crosswind, specific temperature, prelunch hunger and skype-a-saurus radiation combine in rare yet periodic event, this causes spasms of accute calcanittis. This makes awesome human Leo become less awesome human Leo, ranting to his audience as if they were lemmings (dimishing your audience is a nice way to build an audience of dumb people). Fed from his frustration they spam for years anything remotely thisweekin.com related. Almost making it look as if both networks were in same championship (something only @Jason wants to believe). Counter productive.

with this being said, if you donated to @Jason TWIST show (which existed way before thisweekin.com foundation) thinking you were giving money to Leo Laporte, then "you" are a complete imbecile.
I can't really argue with you because I'm only speaking from my own experience, but although with nbandroid I might wait 3 months for an update, with Eclipse I would wait 3 months for the code completion popup.
