True, divorcing emotion from decisions and action is a skill. From my point-of-view, once the bozo-bit has been flipped you can filter this kind of distraction out, re-checking it's state each loop.
F1 Just changed to 1.6 V6 With a Twin Turbo and a massive energy recovery system, and people are doing nothing but complaining.
awesome, thx!
How often do you use call and apply? I've been a JS developer for a long time, have written a lot of JS code, and rarely need to use call and apply.

Unless you're writing all your code from scratch and not using any frameworks / util libs (which you should) you won't need them very often.
If you are having problems getting bluetooth-based options to work consistently on your Mac, here is my alternate technique that locks your machine when your put your mouse in the bottom right corner:

* Go to Preferences...Desktop & Screen Saver...Hot Corners

* Set bottom-right corner to "Put Display to Sleep"

* Then in Preferences...Security & Privacy enable "Require Password after sleep or screen saver begins"
But then it's the US businesses that will not be in compliance right? Not me?
What exactly is wrong with using notepad to code? No syntax highlighting?
I'm not particularly familiar with this so the odds of the following being correct are not terribly great....

As far as I can tell, the interesting properties of the Cauchy distribution come from the "fat tail," which means that large numbers are relatively more likely than if you used, for example, a gaussian distribution. This is going to cause problems when applying it to this case because you can't sleep arbitrarily long. There will have to be some sort of ceiling on it, and I think that will bring the behavior back into a realm where the attacker can make use of it.

As to your question in your other reply about how the attacker will know to use the median instead of the mean, is there any distribution where using the median wouldn't work? If not, the attacker could just use the median as a matter of course.

The idea posted here is interesting:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9264760

Basically, have the artificial delay be unpredictable to an attacker, but constant for any given input. You'd still have to watch out for inputs which are computationally equivalent but not bytewise equal, but perhaps that can be managed.
Doubt there is anything you can do. Should have read the contract/terms before getting in bed with them.

If your business has grown you could evaluate to move off the shopify platform. And figure out best way to handle this fine/charge.

Amazon and eBay search defaults are already there in any standard Firefox installation. Now, in this UX test, they are marking them as sponsored, making them more transparent not less.
The market can leak memory longer than you can stay solvent. Or something.
Because they all speak different dialects (as a first language) but read the same language. Not because mandarin speakers don't know what's being said without reading it.
Strongly worded insinuations, sure, but that is not name-calling.

Kanye West hops on stage at the MTV Music Awards, steals the mic from "Best Female Music Video" winner Taylor Swift, and proceeds to tell the audience why he thought Beyonce should have won instead. It was an outrageous act widely panned as 'douchey'.

Is this example much different?

What if I live somewhere for other reasons? Anyway, it doesn’t really matter how expensive or big my home is, switching to work-from-home means I have less of that home available to me.
Deleting my Facebook account has been one of the most mentally liberating and satisfying decision I have made in the last year. I used a Chrome addon to totally delete every post and clear everything out too--why let them have anything even when I'm gone.
Yes you can integrate with any provider. the pipeline [0] is the enforcement part – performing MFA checks like "Is MFA enabled on user? is it applicable for this request (can be turned off for programmatic api-based access, for example) etc."

It's the job of the application to prompt caller for 2FA input and verify it using the provider/device of your choice.

But to save you time even with that implementation, ASPSecurityKit has a category of products called source packages, which provide full implementation of several commonly needed functionality, including 2FA workflow [1], installed right into your project as source code, so you can switch to any MFA provider easily by modifying the code that sends MFA token to the device.

I know I have mentioned this here before but while in college I played a version of chess that used the dice from a game of Risk. If you didn't like your opponents move you could challenge it by rolling the dice. The player defending a the valid move would get the 3 white dice and the "attacker" would get the 2 red ones. Just like in Risk the highest point total won. I think if the defender lost the roll then they had to choose another move, if the attacker lost the roll then they lost their turn. Anyway it led to matches where you would try and get your queen behind the opponent's pawns and start taking out large pieces.

The rules that the girl came up with remind me of some of the stuff I see in modern video games medic, civilians, etc.

It also made me think about something I read recently that said that the average I.Q. is increasing all around the world from generation to generation.
> ADHD brains are physically incapable of doing these things without assistance on a neurological/biochemical level.

How do you think people with ADHD live in countries where adult ADHD is not known? It's hard, but we absolutely can.
I am just guessing here but it's likely that there are multiple counts of these charges.
Nothing at all, and in fact there's a site set up specifically to advocate for this: https://utf8everywhere.org/

The biggest problem is when you're working in an ecosystem that uses a different encoding and you're forced to convert back and forth constantly.

I like the way Python 3 does it - every string is Unicode, and you don't know or care what encoding it is using internally in memory. It's only when you read or write to a file that you need to care about encoding, and the default has slowly been converging on UTF-8.

This is actually an accurate description of the whole of economics, irrespective of MMT.
I do this for our services, it works great and we can easily put SSO in front of them with CF Access. I publish a Docker container that you can use as a sidecar for your Compose deployments:

https://gitlab.com/stavros/docker-cloudflared

I use this with Harbormaster (https://gitlab.com/stavros/harbormaster) so I can expose containerized stuff without ever forwarding any ports outside of Docker.
> And it doesn't really matter.

Okay. Defragging your disk prepares you to understand the concept of heap fragmentation later on in life. Understanding heap fragmentation and how to avoid it, how to compact segments, how to allocate smartly, allows you to write MUCH MUCH faster and higher quality software.

Today, there are a hundred thousand Zoomer developers spraying exabytes of poorly allocated objects all over the heaps of millions of production systems.

We frequently lament the fact that our standard Office applications run slower on 16 core, 4GHz machines than they did on a 66MHz 486DX, then we proceed to claim that the towers of abstractions we've built and the complete ignorance of the underlying hardware "doesn't really matter".
> no clue if there's a project to reimplement that

There was! And it even booted Linux in some capacity: https://github.com/christinaa/rpi-open-firmware

> every chip is very different from one another

Eh, the usual embedded SoCs are not that different from each other — ARM GIC, ARM timer, lots of Synopsys Designware crap for SDMMC/XHCI/PCIe/etc.

For many SoCs it's totally feasible to make standards-compliant firmware, e.g. for the Rockchip RK3566 there is https://github.com/jaredmcneill/quartz64_uefi

And SoCs from the networking world (Marvell, NXP) are typically supported by upstream EDK2.
Are the suburbs (the political entities I mean) so small that many of them are nearly full?
A few points...

Your CPI point is nonsense. The graph compares the growth of expenses to other consumer products. So subtracting CPI from the college costs and then comparing that number isn't comparing apples to apples.

The fact that the Government is pushing money into these universities from both sides does not justify high costs. Even with Government Subsidies going directly to the University and Government grants going directly to students we still have a situation where Student Loan debt has passed Credit Card debt in this country. Adjusted for inflation Student Debt is up 50% in the past decade.

Since when do costs automatically go up with Income? If Exxon decides to double their prices because people's incomes have doubled would you think that was acceptable? Despite its importance to society education is still just a product with a cost and a profit margin. If it's cost is going up exponentially its because someone is making a lot of profit.

Edit: Just to drive home the point. The average salary for a University Professor is $118,054. The average length of an academic year in days 187. So your average professor is making $631 a day NOT including benefits.

I wonder if anyone has done a kind of scientific/statistical study of the whole gell-man amnesia idea?
I have no real view on public/private provision of services, but education is an area where I'm not sure how private 'efficiency savings' would exist. The bulk of the costs are salaries and the teacher/pupil ratio is roughly fixed for a given quality of education.
Does anyone have experience of this? Are there actually areas that private enteprise can come in and save money in education?
Totally agreed. It reads as a rant by someone who’s not yet over highschool and didn’t take the effort to consider how the same system might work incredibly well for others.

That said, I do feel more effort should be put in making students who struggle succeed instead of conform.
Yeah, but the story about covid19 being in europe in October 2019 always seems implausible to me:

Recall how much the situation changed in 2020 between the beginning of January and the end of March...

Even if we just had an handful of cases at the beginning of October, by the end of December we would have got massive clusters of cases, tens of thousands of people hospitalized with the same symptoms

And then suddenly, when we started to look for it in January/February, we found only a few clusters and the disease grew (again?) From almost nothing

Covid19 is not something that you can keep hidden:

Absolutely agreed. In addition, I feel like for many people the strongest friendships they have in adulthood are forged in school, be it junior, middle or college level. Could these bonds be forged elsewhere? Maybe, but I don't see an activity which could replace this social aspect of school.

Disclaimer, I know school can be very traumatic for some people, and I am sorry if you had such an experience.
I grew up in Western Europe and experienced exactly what the author of the article is talking about so it’s not just an American experience.

However, there was a strong American cultural influence e.g. shows like Saved by the Bell, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Simpsons etc were all popular and had strong nerd as social outcast themes.

However I don’t think they were the cause of this social dynamic, it was much older and entrenched.
I think Zig's comptime has three interesting features:

1. It is referentially transparent, i.e., unlike Lisp, i.e. nothing in the language can distinguish between `1 + 2` and `3`. This means that the semantics of the language is the same as if everything was evaluated at runtime, and the comptime annotation has no impact on semantics (assuming syntax terms aren't objects and there's no `eval`).

2. It supports type introspection and construction.

3. It doesn't have generics and typeclasses as separate constructs but as applications of comptime.

I think 3 is unique to Zig, but I wonder about 1: is it possible in MetaOCaml, as it is in Lisp, C, C++, Rust and Haskell -- but not in Zig! (or, say, Java) -- to write a unit `m`, such that m(1 + 2) is different from m(3)?
> Canada is probably the most apt comparison here.

Oh come on... Canada is less populated than California with 25x more land...
My main issue with LinkedIn's timeline is there is no way to only see content actually posted by your contacts.

I don't care if someone I met at an industry conference liked something posted by someone I've never met. And 99% of the time, I don't even care if they commented (especially if it's a pre-written congratulatory 'comment' that LinkedIn suggested to them).

Annoyingly, the only way to 'improve' my timeline is to add more people/companies to follow. That's pretty much the exact opposite of what I want to do.
Patterned random numbers become a feature in some games, even if an unintentional one.

I used to be able to play about a dozen Pac-Man levels knowing exactly where every ghost was going to go and every bonus that was going to appear. And I wasn’t a very good player.

Pac-Man would have been a less fun game for many people if it used crypto grade random.
I haven't used it heavily but one of our newer microservices uses Quill for read-only access to Postgres. I have found it to be great to work with, to combination of "just use case classes" and a DSL that feels like writing SQL is pretty nice.

Don't. Do one thing and do it well.

If your startup is racing against another company toward a release date, you're going to lose if you can't focus on it 100%. If not, put the startup on hold until you finish school.
The 3d bell curve reminded me of a Bose–Einstein condensate. :)
Why? I can't think of one reason. Please provide one.
Have a good understanding of what you want to accomplish with everything you're doing. Have a point. And realize that to do better in one thing, you'll necessarily do worse in the other. And that's OK.

I started RateMyStudentRental as a junior studying Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. I'll just say that I always knew what score I needed on the upcoming test to maintain my minimum desired grade in the class.
We don't know your mom, so that doesn't really contribute anything to the discussion. What's she like? What's the most mainstream web site she doesn't know about?
I once tried to cut a bike brake cable with a pair of diagonal cutters. It didn't work - and that thing is less than 1/8" in diameter (and is meant to be cut). The Kensington locks are made of thicker, strong cables and though still fairly flimsy, are going to require cable cutters to break.

In the end it's all about risk management - what's the probability that someone goes to a coffee shop specifically to steal a laptop and is armed with cable cutters? And if they have cable cutters, are they going to bother to use them to steal your laptop, or are they going to steal the laptop next to yours that's not locked up?

FWIW, I take my laptop into the bathroom with me.
What made the twitter app work on only 27% of phones? I Doubt is the display resolution or the buttons configuration. Must be simply the OS version. In that case, it's quite a universal problem, one that apple is going to have too now that people have to deal with two OS versions and at least 4 devices (iphone 3g, iphone 4g, ipad, itouch).

A wise developer would just code something that would work on any version above 1.6

If I were making mobile apps, I'd probably make an iphone version and an android version.
he's right on the nail. Security should always be first.

We shouldn't pile garbage on top of garbage. Or sweep security holes under the rug. they will come back and bite.
At the risk of parroting a good chunk of other folks here: your employer's business model is dead.

My personal suspicion is that we're moving quickly toward a world dominated by local newsrooms covering local stories (with international distribution), rather than large international news organizations and centralized reporting. Add in a few companies (some traditional, some not: Reuters, Google, et al) surviving as international news aggregators and licensing hubs (perhaps similar to an MPEG-LA model).

However, none of this plays out well for organizations like the New York Times or other large traditional print companies. "Be flexible."
Didn't know about the Kindle samples, thanks!
Where are you located? I have one I would highly recommend here in Colorado.
> Essentially the space is being wasted.

Would you say that an undeveloped greenbelt around a city is wasted?

Empty space in a house is both an option and space. The latter is quite valuable.

Also, some people value the privacy.
It's possible to use Apache and Mongrel. In fact, Mongrel shouldn't really be on the list because it can't serve web pages by itself.
I'll say one thing about FastSpring - you can use them like a highly intelligent robot. Instead of going to their panel, I'd send emails like:

"I'd like a source code option on product x, and it should be for free with variation y, and should look like x"

In 15 mins you get a cheerful "No Problem", and 30 minutes later: "All Done."

I used to feel guilty asking them to do this for me instead of doing it myself, but then I realised that that's why I was sticking with them.

Their prices are not high compared to the competition, and the handle all the stuff you should do (like VAT).
Saying that we will never be able to simulate a piece of hardware/wetware is a pretty strong statement. (Unless you think there is some kind of magic inside it.)
This doesn't bode too well for Europe having strong privacy protections.
This only works for projects that Oracle can't see a profiy in. VirtualBox should be fine, maybe even MySQL, but Solaris and Java might be a bit tougher...
It looks like Congress did look at changing the law in 2010, not sure what happened to this, NY Times article:

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/29/us/politics/29gamble.html

Banning online gambling doesn't really make sense if you still permit gambling at a state level, so I think this law is probably going to be toast in the long run.
It has, biofuel companies are even hotter than startups which huge amounts of money getting pumped into them. As the price of biofuels drop and the price of oil rises it's inevitable they'll cross-over and people will start buying biofuels because they're cheaper.
Oh, and whilst we are on the subject, Does anyone here have their favourite theory for where the next big advance in energy tech is going to come from? Personally I'm surprised by the lack of government investing in nano-tech. Battery tech, fuel cells and solar panels all seem like prime candidates to benefit from a better understanding of how to construct materials at the molecular scale.
In this case the banning of online gambling has actually resulted in the Government receiving less revenue from tax because the online gambling sites have moved offshore. So I'm not sure in this case that the law has been used for plunder.

I think there was probably some significant lobbying efforts from casinos in the US that contributed to the 2006 federal ban. So someone has been a plundering for money, I just don't think it was the Gov in this case.
"We anticipate that the average wait for an account is approximately 2-4 weeks during the Beta period." FYI
That is only partially true. Microsoft actually released JScript.net, which was an implementation of the proposal on the .net platform. Later they changed strategy and decided they didn't want to support the proposal, and JScript.net is not supported anymore. But the fact remains that MS has delivered the only other implementation of the (now rejected) proposal apart from ActionScript (AFAIK).
I'm imagining competing gangs fueling competition in this space; why bother paying to import your own drugs from across the border, when you can snag the competition's deliveries right from the sky?
This, in particular, is so cool - how can one find provincialism in NYC (something one would intuitively never think of the city):

"But my midlife is my son’s youth, and the move has already shown him that the world is wider than it would have appeared to him had we never strayed from our old neighborhood, in brownstone Brooklyn, with its scrappy basketball courts around the corner; its friendly, progressive middle school and its constantly inflating property prices; its coffee shop where, on the sidewalks outside, dogs slurp at aluminum bowls of water while their owners stand in line waiting for their own carefully crafted refreshments. I have seen teen-agers grow up in New York, and I know how the competitiveness of the city—the urgency and drive and self-importance of it, the characteristics that so thrilled me as an ambitious new arrival in my early twenties—can leave a young person feeling defeated before she has begun. I have seen, alternatively, how New York can make a young person believe that there is no other place in the world significant enough to matter. I want to inoculate my son against such provincialism. I want to nurture his native cosmopolitanism."
That you could have dialed up the redundancy for metadata to 3x or even 4x copies being stored, and just because a block got bitrot doesn't mean other blocks fail to read.

I know no one would use Btrfs raid5/6 in production, but that's because no one wanted to enough to get the required development done.

If it was just file blocks that got corrupted, there would be just very minor damage in total and a scrub that logs all damaged blocks typically proceeds at sequential read speeds from what I've observed in the past.

Maciej includes that quote. He also proposes organizing the program with significant protections and limitations. I know it's very likely politically infeasible to competently create such a program, but I ask you: with these protections and limitations in place, and if there is evidence that this program would save many lives (in addition to getting the economy back online more quickly), would you still be opposed to it?
Even three weeks of earnings is non-trivial. e.g. hair salons are shut down by government order as non-essential. Barbers and stylists typically rent their chair, are considered self-employed, and do not qualify for unemployment income. They are screwed right now.

They are being told by their landlords they have to keep renting their chairs, perhaps at a discount, because it's a lease. They are being encouraged to get SBA loans by the government, and their landlord. This is vile and immoral. The mere suggestion is unethical feudal nonsense.

Make some people go into debt in order to help secure the income of their lord? It's uncivil to say it out loud. Turning it into official policy is an abomination. It indicts the whole culture of a society to do this.

I think as a class, they should declare bankruptcy. Force the next higher class to find redress, by mortgagees taking haircuts on loans, all the way up to pensioners and 401ks. The entire point of the free market is that it's supposed to account for these risks, and absorb them equitably. If the market or government demands some low rung people experience worse misery than others, it is a recipe for widespread loss of trust in a system, that quite frankly right now does not deserve trust.
