I really believe so. I think it's essential to do a lot of manual work first. To shake every potential customer's hand to be figure out a way to get to product market fit. And only once we reached that product market fit and a critical mass, might technology (and growth hacks) help us reach that next level. Paul Graham wrote a brilliant article about this: http://paulgraham.com/ds.html
Yeah obviously, the point is how to find the best compromise. It's not just for security, i m thinking of the unlikely scenario of pressure loss and the ability to maybe remotely bring the plane down or land it on the sea or anything.
> Do you mean co-routines / user threads / green threads? I tend to agree it can have a serious performance boost in some cases.

Yes, but in this context, they provide the same performance benefits as the asynchronous techniques mentioned in the article, without all the drawbacks of the cumbersome asynchronous style.

> But saying that actor model is bad practice

The actor model is a general technique for fault-tolerance, and it's great. How it handles concurrency, though, is an orthogonal concern. Akka has asynchronous (callback based) actors, and callbacks are an anti-pattern. Erlang has synchronous (blocking) actors, which are so much simpler, and don't have all the complications associated with asynchronous code.
If people have their whole workflow in git kernel-dev style, sure. But the reality is that for a lot of people their workflow is github. Leaving them with raw git is equivalent to leaving them with nothing.
interesting article.. I was just about to submit it when i found out U already did :) thx
Few people graduate exactly on time in four years.

Changing majors, took a semester off, took extra classes, internship etc, lighter class load while working.

When listing your degree I would just show the year you graduated not a start/end date, just show the year.

No one should be concerned about this, I wouldn't expect the question but if you're worried just have a positive answer ready.

Good luck with your interviews.
This should have included *by late 2012.
If your doctor won't give you a B12 shot tell him to shove it up his ass, and get a new doctor. It's not like you're asking him to write you a 'script for 300 oxycotin tabs.

The control-freakish nature of many medical professionals astounds me.

Anyway, you can also try large dosage (5000 mcg) sub-lingual B12. Some of it will make it into your bloodstream without going through your stomach.
It shouldn't affect Google Analytics and other JavaScript based analytics, but from the article,

* If this becomes popular it has the potential to skew logs and stats. Consider what happens when a bunch of prefetch requests are made to one of your pages, but the user never actually visits the page. The server (or stats package) doesn’t know the difference.

To clear this up, Firefox sends along an HTTP header, X-moz: prefetch, but you need some logic on the server side to detect it.
I'd like to see sites that use mootools, Prototype, YUI, Dojo, etc. Those are some simple statistics to compile I'd think (filename based, or just simple regex of the first 200 characters).
It's more complicated than that and I'm talking and about edge caches in general here, not for my employer. I once saw a Flickr employee (Cal Henderson?) pluck the original Ludicorp logo out of Yahoo's edge caches. That's not to mention ISP caches and proxies, third party image search, etc, that neither you, I, Akamai, nor Facebook control. I'll look into it and see what's going on in this case.
Yes, but my need to ride my bike in an emergency is just about nothing. And my bike is my main mode of transportation.

Also, taking that stuff off looks like it would be just as much work as putting it on.

I've never ridden in snow except as a lark in Portland, OR (I was safe from cars then cause Portlander wouldn't drive in the snow).

If I did live where it snowed, I think snow-tires or don't ride makes sense. Perhaps you could carry this stuff on a road trip but that's the only use I could possibly imagine.

Definitely desperation time.
Shorter Chromesource: "Honest people have nothing to fear from the police." Also, the cheque is in the mail.
Security clearances would help, but obviously that's not something that's going to be tenable for all companies.

I think the main way to prevent issues is to just assume at any time you could be infiltrated. Don't mistrust all your employees, but don't live with lax security policies that allow a person to get away with something undetected.
"Sign me up."

Especially since my glasses would then be a phone.
Screen shots would be nice - I've been thinking of moving over from Mediatemple DV but do not really want to spend too much time configuring a server from the command line.

This would make Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China, a transhumanist. His fear of death had him seeking an immortality potion. This was about 2200 years ago. But this wasn't an "-ism" – just instinct, as you say.
Modern browsers will flag and slow down tabs that abuse the cpu. You could probably still mine but it’s a slow drip.
You describe cca my experience with stronger doses of mushrooms. Could be interpreted in a very spiritual sense even by atheist/agnostic like me.

All I took from it is how marvelous our brains are, overload/mess with receptors, maybe tweak chemistry a bit, and suddenly you are in unique paradise of beauty no words can hope to describe adequately. You want to cry with joy anytime you remember it, even 15 years afterwards.

Needless to say those experienes didn't make me religious at all, rather explained to me vividly probable source of many religions. Why need to invent a god when man can be enough.
Unfortunately, the opposite is often met with repercussions, and finding a job where one cares about the product is still a privilege.

So yes, many of us accept the potential burnout outcome while trying to find something better.
It’s funny because after his first comments about it’s performance being the reason Adobe magically fixed it in about 6 weeks and we finally had close performance parity with windows after years of Adobe saying it’s not possible.
If you use a salt you could still do this 'attack.

SELECT username FROM users WHERE password = HASH(salt||'secret');

This is academic because you already know the password ('secret').

Salts make rainbow tables (essentially precomputed hash values of (say) all english words) hard and infesiable.
On a thread about how Americans are good and kind people, you attempt to justify the behaviour of the Southerners but only show that there are rotten Northerners as well.

In any case, these negative comments are a bit irrelevant, because it only takes one person who's willing to spit on you to say "we got spat on there, so people are rotten", but the vast majority has to be kind to you for you to say "we were treated well there, people are kind".

I went to San Francisco and saw many helpful people, I saw a few people who didn't care either way (the bus drivers didn't bother to reply to my "thank you"s or "hello"s) and a guy on the bus shoved me and shouted because he judged that I wasn't giving him enough space.

On average, people have been much nicer to me in London, but I wouldn't say people in SF suck because of that one guy on the bus. There were kind people there as well.
The joke is that AOL is so out of the game and so irrelevant to the modern internet that people might not have even heard of them at this point, mistaking them for some sort of startup that focused on mass-mailings. Though, as far as I can tell, they don't do that anymore.
Over time your userbase will form a power law distribution (in terms of success/scale) and you may end up having to support a lot of free users for a small minority of paid users.

Folks already pay for hosting now - so why not charge them for all the added value you provide? This will scale in proportion to your infrastructure demands.

I'm paying $20/month for a VPS slice that runs my blog. I'm sure there are plenty of people who'd be willing to pay at that price point for all of the added value that Djangy will provide, on top of hosting. There's no need to take my word for it though as this could be validated/tested quite easily.
You can't generalise from that, at least not internationally. I'm a member of the ÖAMTC (one of the road-side assistance non-profits in Austria) and I've had universally good experiences with them. They're very quick to arrive and know exactly what they're doing, and always friendly. And I've called them out for pretty minor things - I suck at fixing cars myself.
impatience kills just about everything...
They already do this. Making them self-insure would just lead to wiping out departments that eventually lose in court. And they all eventually lose.

I'm ok with that.
I would think that would already exist if it was actually compelling.

But having to plug your computing device into a monitor and keyboard to do any work is just a downgrade from a laptop that always has a monitor and keyboard. It's a bizarre portability trade-off that's even less exciting as laptops become thinner, lighter, and more powerful.

Excuse me if I think it's a little more important that the public is informed about what elected officials are saying than it is to respect Twitter and Facebook's EULA and TOS where they say they can sell my firstborn to the highest bidder if it helps meet their quarterly numbers.

If the President of the United States is saying something, it is my right and duty to hear exactly what that is, verbatim, so I can appropriately participate in our democracy. It is not at all acceptable for Twitter, Facebook, or any other third party to intercede and decide for me that what they said was good or bad. That is my decision to make. The fact that so many people here are willing and eager to cede that authority to faceless, unaccountable corporations is frankly appalling.

>If you owned a website that allowed public postings, would you ever consider yourself obligated to protect a member of the government's speech in a way you do not for a normal user?

That's an excellent point. This freedom of speech should indeed extend to everyone, not just government officials.
As per the 1998 census, 7.6% of the population usually speaks Urdu in their household.

Intel's TB3 controllers can't do both TB3 daisy-chain and provide two DisplayPort endpoints. That's why most TB3 docks that have two DisplayPort ports don't have a second TB3 port, and why the HP had to use MST to have both. It's also why 5k+ displays may or may not support being daisy chaining, depending on whether it's using two DisplayPort links.

MST isn't necessarily great because over an HBR2 link it doesn't have the bandwidth for dual 4k60, and there's still a lot of stuff that doesn't support HBR3 links. And MST + hotplug is still a mess. So you're just trading for a different set of confusion.
Thanks for your insights, I’ll definitely look into Element/Mattix. I didn’t know Signal was just another scheme to collect private data. But I always knew that WhatsApp == FB yet I couldn’t do much due to network effects. Decentralizing the web has never been so important as now.
that's not true though, he explicitly said:

Why 81? it seems that they tried to hire as much as possible, not wise.
problem is in that 90% of applications does not need to process mixed-content documents, yet because XML was the new cool-and-interoperable-solution-to-everything it got to be used for anything and mainly for things that are only simple structured data. Probably because you can abuse it for that and as a bonus you get lots of tools (like XSLT)
Who's that? Google turns up nothing.
Thats just stupid you can make good source to source compiler that compile to better make faster code then a normal dev would do.
And you wonder where all the potential start-up technical founders in London are ending up...
realizing that you have a problem is the first step.

you just need to get started doing something, once you are actually doing instead of dreaming, you won't have the free time to waste on distractions
You're welcome. I honestly write the books for people like you, and thankfully the world of programmers and the world of regular people really doesn't intersect much.
A language without the ecosystem is just sugar.
It has been a little bit crazy over the past couple of days but I just wanted to say thanks for all the support.

How to Solve It - George Polya. While the content is focused on solving math problems, and those math problems might be on the higher end of what a 14yo would learn in school, the lessons behind it are applicable to any form of problem solving. I discovered the book in my late 20's and wish I had read it in high school.
>If we really want to help the people of Gaza we need first to put the people that killed children, women and innocent men of Gaza, in front of an international trial. And stop voting to them. Is as simple as that.

Sounds good. When are we putting Hamas and other militant groups going to the ICC (because their local justice systems are so unable to promote justice)?

>We need also to stop tolerating to be labelled as "anti-semitic behaviour" to bona fide criticizing Israel for breaking repeatedly a lot of international laws about human rights, each three years, and for treating palestinian people as human cockroaches.

Seems fair to hold Israel to any standard every other country is held to. Do it!

>In the last years USA and Europe were repeatedly urged to pay with trucks full of money the last "Gaza reconstruction". We paid for rebuilding exactly the same UN schools and hospitals that Israel bombed meticulously the last year, in some cases even with UN workers inside.

If Israel meticulously bombed the schools and hospitals, would any be standing? They have a lot of bombs and the ability to target fairly precisely for a military- isn't it weird so many hospitals and schools are undamaged? The Israeli military are either incompetent or didn't meticulously target these places.

>with the silliest excuses.
What would an unsilly reason look like? Indiscriminate attacks on civilians doesn't seem to fulfill your requirements.

>There is also the problem that Israel controls the economy of Gaza, so there is not any guarantee that the money for palestinians will not be used instead in buying new bombs to replace that were dropped.

I didn't know Israel controls all money going in to Gaza. I know they collect tax money on behalf of the PLO and monitor, along with Egypt, all good coming in (excluding those that are smuggled in of course). It's worth looking into how Israel's gets military aid- a coupon from the US government. They aren't stealing other people's money and spending it. Even the tax money they're withholding from the PLO is sitting in accounts, not being spent.
My Roku does Amazon... did that change in newer models?

As far as I know it's Android that Amazon refuses to support for VOD (because they're trying to push their half-assed Kindle Fire line of Android knockoffs). Which is unfortunate because I had been a heavy purchaser of Amazon VOD season passes (not Prime)--back in the days before streaming you could set it up to auto download to TiVo as new episodes were released. Roku works great for viewing Amazon VOD.
For those of you unaware, let me summarize what this is referencing.

Recently a NYT freelance editor Lauren Wolfe, who mostly worked on the "live updates" team, was fired, but this firing caused some controversy due to the timing of some tweets and who knows what else. It's not completley clear why she was fired, as the NYT responded to requests for comment by the WaPo by saying [1]: "There’s a lot of inaccurate information circulating on Twitter. For privacy reasons we don’t get into the details of personnel matters but we can say that we didn’t end someone’s employment over a single tweet. Out of respect for the individuals involved we don’t plan to comment further. (To clarify something that has been incorrectly reported, Ms. Wolfe was not a full-time employee, nor did she have a contract.)"

Quite a few leftists initially blamed the NYT for caving to conservative pressure, apparently by making the claim there was a relation between the tweets she made and her firing, which she confirmed in another WaPo interview [3] by saying "...that an editor at the paper contacted her after she published the “chills” tweet. The Times couldn’t be associated with such a tweet, said the manager, and that her gig with the paper would be ending."

Some leftists also seemed to blame Glenn Greenwald for his involvement in the matter; a single tweet in response to hers that he later called "light mockery"[2]. Glenn Greenwald, previously strongly supported by the left and many others, has recently been victim to a series of character assassination attempts due to his unconformity to the mainstream leftists viewpoints, so it rather seems the twitter left mob just used him as a lightening rod without having all the facts in this case.

The tweets in question?

LW: "The pettiness of the Trump admin not sending a military plane to bring him to D.C. as is tradition is mortifying. Childish

She later deleted the above tweet when it was revealed that Biden and his team chose to take his own plane, despite many mainstream media talking heads parroting the same narrative.

LW: “Biden landing at Joint Base Andrews now. I have chills”

GG: "If you're in the national press and will be on TV at any point today and being to feel the need to weep joyously, just hold it in until you find a private place. Nobody is expecting any adversarial coverage over the next 4 years, but it's just a matter of personal dignity."

I would keep Apple and ditch the Facebook properties but I think my wife would switch to Android.
I've spent 12 months of last 10 years (~1 month/year) at same region, on motorbike, too.
I could confirm your observations.

BTW, 95% of these dams are Chinese one and exports electricity to China, not to be used by locals. China build hospitals and some roads for this, which is good, but all these projects doesn't have any ecological expertise in it. And China DOESN'T CARE of course.

It is new colonialism, really.
We used it for 1 year. Using spring boot framework.
Unfortunately we had to ditch it.
Issues with multi annotation support. Problems with instant run / partial compile. Slower performance. This was about a year ago. Maybe things have been improved. But we also noted that many outstanding bugs were ignored by the main devs behind kotlin. Did not feel like a mature language. At least not now.
It isn't hard to see the answer, but that wasn't my point. The point is that you want predictable behavior from your functions. If you saw the output of said function for integers you could never have guessed the output of said function with the combination of a string and an integer.

JavaScript forces you to work more to get predictable type conversions by having a lot of random conversions. While each of those conversions might make sense the combination of them usually doesn't. Why can I use other maths operators to coerce the string into a number but not '+'? Because '+' is a special case since it tries to coerce to a string before it tries to coerce to an integer, it isn't hard to get that. But it makes the other conversions dangerous since when you want to use '*', '-' or '/' you usually want to use '+' as well but as it is the other works but not '+'. What would make sense is to either remove the special case of '+' or you add special cases for the other operators so that they act similarly as '+' with strings.
So we lock down gyms, close sports facilities and chastise people for going outside.
Here I am having used shells and vi for ~30 years and enjoying learning to use Rider as an IDE...
Yeah, I use EurKEY which gives me Ctrl+Alt+s for ß and has a lot of other Ctrl+Alt special characters but is otherwise a US Layout.

But I must say that most tools on Windows seem to handle it well with AltGr, only Ctrl+Alt is problematic.
Perhaps the rule is "charge all customers - active at rate X, dormant at rate Y".

And then the question adds state, "as of yyyy/mm/dd, which customers were more than $30 into credit?"
I share your feelings, though some years ago I discovered the neat trick of "xmacros".

In a nutshell:

#define COLOR_LIST \
X( RED ) \
X( GREEN ) \
X( BLUE ) \
X( PURPLE )

enum Color
{
#define X(code) code,
COLOR_LIST
#undef X
};

static const char* colorNames[] =
{
#define X(code) #code,
COLOR_LIST
#undef X
};

You can even make it cleaner and store more metadata:

// --- color.def
X( RED, "Red", 0xFF0000 )
X( GREEN, "Green", 0x00FF00 )
X( BLUE, "Blue", 0x0000FF )

// --- color.h
enum Color
{
#define X(code,name,mask) code,
# include "color.def"
#endif
};

static const char* colorNames[] =
{
#define X(code,name,mask) name,
# include "color.def"
#undef X
};

static unsigned int colorMasks[] =
{
#define X(code,name,mask) mask,
# include "color.def"
#undef X
};

Noninvasive signal modality directly from the cortex are certainly possible (e.g. Ultrasound, fNIR). But they lack the spatial and temporal resolution of implanted electrodes. Intracortical brain signals are the most well understood and mature in terms of instrumentation as well. So in the short term, implanted electrodes offer the highest capacity for a BCI.
RevenueCat. The rest are just copycats.
I don't really use Rust so YMMV, but what's genuinely special about it is that it's a new take on a system-level language with very modern features (Error monad, borrow checker, pattern matching, functional-like semantics) that were previously exclusive domain of garbage collected languages.

Honestly I kind of cringe at the "do everything in rust" crowd, if you need to, say, write an API, you can just do that in Python or Ruby or Go, 99% of the times the performance penalty won't matter and Rust is just a very complicated tool for that job.

But it single-handedly reopened the discussion on high performance, safe(r) languages, and I believe that's a very good thing even though I don't use Rust day-to-day. Projects like Zig are in a sense following in the footsteps of Rust.
This reminds me of what happened after COVID hit hard and everything shut down. The sky got clearer, sometimes dramatically! I smelled forest from my home right in the middle of a small town. It was quiet. You could hear nature... naturing. It was wonderful.

Why aren't they the same piece of info? Scores just reflect popularity, not expert analysis. I find scoring systems like at reddit or slashdot just promote, usually wrong, group think (ZOMG OBAMA IS A COMMIE KENYAN!!) or whatever group values the majority accepts (GAYS SHOULDNT GET MARRIED!!).

There's a lot of faith in the wisdom of crowds with these systems and that's not a faith I find particularly convincing. The lowest common denominator shouldn't be encouraged. These systems are good for getting rid of trolls and other cruft, but not magical quality or truth machines.
Interesting idea, do you have a mobile application? This seems perfect for the mobile market.

I can imagine sitting in a pub after a meal with friends wondering whats next and perhaps using an application similar to this one.
