It works fine for me. Maybe notifications don't appear as fast as they did when I used Google Play Services (I'm not sure about this), but everything else works fine.
Hmm, how is Fox News/Breitbart/OAN/etc covering this...
I didn't say it was bad, I said it was difficult for many. My advice applies to anyone seeking dispassionate discourse on current events, no matter their background. It will be difficult to find such conversation among people affected by the events. That's all.
It wasn't a close election.

There was a legitimate process.

This is sour grapes, mashed into violence.
You mean, treat them like special snowflakes?
It starts with the deregulation of cable news in the 1990s, and creation of mainstream media networks like Fox and CNN. The explosive use of the internet and later social media in the mid to late 2000s only amplified an existing problem of polarization.
History was easily the worst-taught subject in the schools I attended (better than average midwestern U.S. schools).

For some reason, 90% of the time was taken up repeatedly poorly covering a small set of topics: the "fertile crescent" through Greece up to just before Alexander which I suppose satisfied some sort of ancient history requirement, jump ahead to spend a ton of time on the Age of Exploration, a brief stop at colonization and the War of Independence, a bunch more time on the Westward expansion/Native Americans (most time of any single topic or time period, easily) and then memorize a few terms related to the Civil War (Anaconda Plan, four or five important generals, half a dozen battles, etc.).

"Conestoga Wagons" and "Longhouses" must have been answers to test questions in at least five of twelve grades. "Ferdinand Magellan" in at least three.

The overall course of study left one with such an incomplete and disjointed understanding of history as to be nearly useless. I learned more history from 200-300 hours of various not-primarily-educational video games in the same time span than I did from school. We didn't cover American history well, let alone Western history, and certainly not world history. A single semester of Freshman world history in college covered more material and did it better with three hours a week and at a fairly leisurely pace.

[EDIT] I should clarify that my phrasing "fertile crescent through Greece up to just before Alexander" implies a much more complete coverage of early civilization that was actually achieved. Fertile crescent, Tigris and Euphrates, Phoenicians invented the alphabet, name-drop Peloponnesian War and Socrates on a fill-in-the-blanks test, aaaaand moving on to Christopher Columbus.
I'm tired of corporations trying to force me to use their other services. Let it happen naturally, if it's gonna happen. Don't make me shape my workflow based on your needs.
> defer is just a useful syntactic construct that becomes complicated when you add in exceptions (but no more so than calling the destructors in C++ stack unwinding).

defer is quite a bit more complex than C++ stack unwinding, because it's dependent on implicit mutation of per-function state and can't really be implemented any other way in the general case. This shows up when you call defer repeatedly in a loop, for example.
> it supports ftp, which is what my wife's web host uses

Ouch!

By all means, please switch to a protocol of the 21th century!

Midnight commander supports secure protocols like SCP or SFTP as well.

Also, there's sshfs which allows you to handle the remote directory like a local one without any special features of mc (or KDE or Gnome). However, I don't know whether sshfs is available on the Mac.

Anyway, there's hardly any reason to use FTP, unless your hosting provider doesn't care a lot about security.
I'm not saying newspapers should be granted any specific protection beyond other websites. I think any website should be allowed to ask someone not to link to them.

The URL protocol allows hotlinking just as much as it allows normal linking. What the protocol does and doesn't allow doesn't define the ethics or the situation.

I'm sure all the companies that want to control inbound links would love to have an inbound link based rights management system. However sites they want to block just use various redirect tricks to cover up the referer.
Somehow, I don't think this name will help the language's popularity...

boss: "What language are you going to do this in?"

Something about that just isn't right.
Yep. When I did a brief stint at an ad agency, we had print designers doing web layouts, which meant much of the design could not be rendered easily (or at all) via HTML and CSS. That meant we spent a fair bit of time cutting up PSDs and dumping the images into tables.
I think there is a pretty big difference between knowing a medium, and knowing a medium's limitations. A is inclusive of B, but B doesn't need to be inclusive of A.

You might not know how to drive a car, but you know that a car can't fly.
Italicize his to signal that it's a variable. (That's how the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer does it, e.g., in baptismal prayers.)
And you haven't even asked the Russians, yet. (Not that their claim is more valid, but I bet they have one.)
I know it's not a programming book but I do feel that it is a definitive, landmark computer science book:

Godel, Escher, Bach by Douglas R. Hofstadter

Just a wonderful narrative of so many related topics across computer science, mathematics, cognitive science, biology, physics, etc. etc. And the author does get into some programming techniques and data structures (recursion, stacks, functional programming).
I began to suspect the same after I read the article and it said that.
Here’s a picture of DC, and not from last night:

Turns out that Viking Man is actually a paid actor from Arizona. I don’t think you could make this stuff up if you tried.

First unarmed person shot to death by police in 2021 was Ashli Babbit.

I think you can choose to take a principled stand in support of protestors, or maybe you can call people who shutdown courts or congress and takeover city blocks domestic terrorists, but you don’t get to pick and choose one side or the other depending on whether you agree with the protestors or not.

Good point.

I probably should have written something like “... only after so much damage to our society has already been done.”

I am worried about about what he and his supporters will still do.
Am I looking at their expense chart correctly .... it appears their monthly operating expenses is ~$100k/month ($1.2M annualized) and he states their revenue is $11m/year.

Are they banking ~$10M/yearly in profit and have 95%+ margins?
The patient was sick before Trump, it will continue to be sick after he's gone (maybe even sicker).

So yeah, good luck believing the problem is behind.
Real estate also gets very little (nothing?) if no sales are made. Is that what you're proposing? That software developers work on commission and don't get paid if the stuff they build doesn't make the company money? Or should it be like sales folks with a target? Seems like some folks want the best of both worlds. A bit fat salary that's guaranteed regardless, but also a big fat bonus if what they work on makes money.
Having watched way too many Biffa vids. The way to fix that is to create/force dedicated turning lanes. There is a plugin that lets you manage it. It should be built in. If you do not have the plugin sometimes you can fix it by changing the number of lanes on both sides of an interchange (what biffa calls lane mathematics). Basically if you have 3 lanes merging into 3 you need a 6 lane on the other side. If you have 6 and 3 dumping off you need 3 for both exits. That does not fix 4 way intersections though and usually you need the plugins to fix that.
So it’s a paid service but they also show ads from Google and Facebook?

Yep, the important rooms would not accidentally be left accessible, even in a situation like what happened yesterday.

Trello is great, i used that for few times. But it turned that i spent much of my time to organise things than make it done.
This has some good points, but it seems (from my experience) that this applies to some degree to a lot of nonprofits. The volunteers actual contribution is minimal, but the nonprofits allow and even encourage it, because it encourages engagement and donations by the volunteers.
I took a trip to Africa to go on a Safari and climb Kilimanjaro. I was amazed at how many do gooder tourists there are.

The conversations go like:

Me: What are you here to do?

Them: Build a school.

Me: Oh, you are a carpenter.

Them: No, part of a school program.

Me: Oh, you are providing unskilled construction labor. Didn't realize Tanzania had a shortage.

Near the end of the trip, I met a friend's cousin, asked what she was doing, and she was going from village to village verifying that chlorination systems in NGO built wells were working. I was impressed. I asked how she got that gig, and she told me a story about her going to Tanzania to build a school. She decided to make a real difference.

Her story changed my attitude. I am certainly less snarky about kids going to do unskilled construction labor.
Any idea how much Scrypt hash rate will this computer provide?
I hear the argument that <table>s should only hold tabular data, but (a) that is a convention not a rule and (b) frankly content and layout are so horribly muddled in HTML that I believe in a pragmatic approach with clean, minimal, backwards-compatible code and no fragile hacks. If that means using a couple of layout tables then so be it.

What really grates is that the same people will then often use a <ul> to make a hover menu, which is completely hypocritical.
Good questions. I'm sorry though I don't have time to reply in depth. The opposite of controlled is managed IMHO.

> Whatever their focus, it's not on customer service.

No, that's exactly their focus. You got a lot of attention regarding the product that you were a customer of, the premium paid apps.

In the other instance, you were the product: a pair of eyeballs they could sell to advertisers. And the advertisers are the customers in that instance.
Unlikely. They are providing a small amount of competition for the massive-concurrency sweet spot that Erlang accidentally found itself in, but they do not even begin to provide the basics necessary to play in the reliable/fault-tolerant sphere that Erlang well and truly owns. Node and Scala will definitely pick up mindshare as "like Erlang, but easier if you know [Javascript | Java]" but I have a strong suspicion that they are going to end up feeding people _into_ Erlang in the long run.
I did, and it really is essentially content-free, as per SilentBicycle's observation.

In around 600 words, it essentially explains that invocations of commands on the CLI are structured as `command arg1 arg2 ... argN`

And I'm not sure how accurate I feel it is, either.

A far more useful article would discuss man pages and explain some of the conventions in the SYNOPSIS section for marking [arguments] as optional, {one | of | several} options in a set, or repeating ...
Well, IANAL, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't need to be a word-for-word copy. The bar is "confusingly similar." See f.ex: http://www.registeringatrademark.com/trademark-law-basics.sh...
There's nothing specific that says "negotiate this price" but I just email the people and see if they're open to it.

Interestingly, there are a lot of things out there that don't seem negotiable at first, but you would be surprised how open a lot of people and businesses are to the idea. You just have to try.

Since when was traveling salesman trivial?

I'm only using 5 people with 3 cars as an example. In reality it's hundreds upon hundreds of people and proportionally fewer cars. I understand there are challenges with dealing with humans that will disappear when we switch to robots, but I can't see the API changing very much. The concept of a vehicle network, customers, app, doing clever things to anticipate traffic and customer desires on certain days, all of these things take (I would imagine) years to understand and optimize.

Your claim that operating such a network with humans versus robots, on a logistical (API) level, have "almost zero in common" is rather brash.
A number of users have contributed to the campaign so far- this is the last day, thus the begging :)
> light that is transparent to the human body.

That bit didn't make sense to me.

The rest does, I think what you're saying is that this is a tuned circuit which will absorb certain wavelengths.
If you read the article, you will find that the contamination is methane. That is the has they are extracting. It's not the fracking fluid.
There's obviously something nefarious going on. Why else would all of these natural gas companies be paying people off and making them sign confidentially agreements?

Side-note: Before today I didn't realize how lax the laws on natural gas companies are. The New York Times has a great graphic on the subject.

"The natural gas industry has exemptions or exclusions from key parts of at least 7 of the 15 major federal environmental laws designed to protect air and water from radioactive and hazardous chemicals. Below are the seven laws listed in the order they were passed."

This is sorta Zig’s wheelhouse.
The alternative is that Azure owns complete access to the customer. Which seems... well, an easy skip to App Store-esque rent seeking.

So MS sharing "their" customer details with the image provider seems more generous than evil. Provided there's a "Do not share" config option somewhere.
this.

write a blog post about stupid pointless problems you solved. and make that blog post useful for anyone who came accross that problem.

It is useless. But it is good practice for you, because being able to write technical documents that are easy to follow is highly valuable.

Oh and get everyone you know to criticize it like a code review :)
I don’t know a single person that ever asked for speeds faster than 4G on their phone. The jump from 3G to 4G solved all complaints I heard.

Improved coverage? Yes I’ve heard that a lot.

It seems like 5G is being pushed for other reasons. Corporate growth, ability to sell more surveillance data, etc.
Thanks for feedback. Apologies. Most of the stuff we do requires a bit of javascript. We are going to definitely add something to our backlog so that people with disabled JS can use it.

Thank you for delineating the difference between "natural" and "artificial" returns. I think that this is something that Piketty totally misses as the causal factor for inequality. I suppose I would consider myself a non-objectivist (or "humanist") capitalist in your classification... I run a nonprofit science research organization, so I accept that profit is often a good indicator of creating social value but see a role for nonprofit activities and also do not see profit as an 'end onto itself' (capital-ism).

One interesting observation that you may like is that relative poverty in the US ('the divide between the rich and the poor', if you will), which has generally been getting better over the course of 200-or-so years took a turn for the worse in 1972, when Nixon closed the gold window, and hasn't clawed back.

Drop a line, I have some interesting thoughts that I'd like to share (contact info in profile).
"Are they looking to fill a gap after another employee quit? If so, why did the other employee quit?"

Do you expect the company to be honest with you if the reason that the previous employee quit was:

- Their manager (your future manager) is an asshole, or micromanages, or is ignorant of technological issues

- They were harassed or discriminated against and have filed a lawsuit against the company

- They were significantly underpaid and left to take a 50% raise at another company

- They burned out from working 80 hour weeks for months on end

- The work environment is in a constant state of chaos, and it's impossible to get work done

- The code base is a buggy pile of crap

At best, you'll get one unsubstantiated version of the story that you can compare against other versions that you hear. Or perhaps you might be able to tell something from the interviewer's reaction to the question. But most probably, you'll get a well-rehearsed non-response like "he was happy here for a long time, but thought it was time to move on".
I'd rather they just made a new Kodachrome line, but easier to process than the original... film is still pretty popular in the amateur crowd, and if they released a color film that was as easy to process as b&w and looked like Kodachrome, I'd be all over that.
You should have an honest discussion with the co-worker(s) about their attitudes - speaking from experience of having done the same to another, it often is not intentional. It is usually done out of frustration from being overtasked and having to teach/walk someone through something on top of normal work.

For #1, say straight up that you don't appreciate the other person's attitude if it comes up. We are professionals, and so each person should be treated with respect. If someone fails at that, it needs to be addressed pronto, or it will just repeat itself.

For #2, from what I can tell, it is unfortunately - the expectation is sink or swim, the junior developers need to find a way to make things happen. I was fortunate and scored my first job at a non-profit, where I had the freedom to experiment & learn, as well as do heavy pair programming.

For #3, absolutely not. I personally stress that I am willing to mentor people when I interview them, and carve out time to help as much as possible. I have some stellar co-workers who do the same. I also have put in a lot of work to help change the culture at my company, especially on the engineering side. I stress mentorship and collaboration - even a junior developer can help change things for the better with the right people skills and strength of mind.
They are polymer but it doesn't say which polymer, if they are PLA then they are biodegradable and safe to burn but I think that making them from PLA might not make them so robust? They are probably made from some petrolium-based plastic, so they probably aren't very burnable and thinking on it you don't want them flammable.

Looking at the structure it looks like it wouldn't take much to link them together and I think the materials look easy to reuse.
This seems roughly equivalent to paying laborers with equity so they have a claim on the full benefit of their labor. One difference is that this hypercapitalism scheme spreads the claims on rents across the economy rather than just within one company. That could be solved by paying laborers with a broad index fund.

Of course, they'd have to sell most of their income to pay for things. Only their savings would remain as equities. This seems equivalent to being paid in the prevailing currency and using your savings to invest, which is the current system. It also doesn't require anyone to force people to use a currency with demurrage fees, which no one would voluntarily choose.

Very interesting read, though. If you're going to implement this as an experiment, you'll probably have better luck building on Ethereum than a Bitcoin fork. The downside is that Ethereum isn't architecturally stable yet, which makes development a little rough. The upside is network effects and a blockchain you don't have to build or get people to mine.
I've gotten used to CMake and I kind of like it now. The language is atrociously ugly, but it's very functional at least and feature-rich. Ugly-but-functional is better than pretty-but-inherently-broken.

"There were many reasons for the decline of Microsoft under Steve Ballmer"

Yes, when I read the opening sentence of the OA, my first thought was 'perhaps the thing that needs explaining is Microsoft's amazing success in the 1990s'. The rest is the usual random walk of any publicly quoted megacorp, attempting to function under huge weight of the structure.
It will be amazing when I can watch sports from the first person views of the players.
re technically: https://xkcd.com/1475/ :-)

As for being a slippery slope argument, people might have dismissed this story in .nl in the 1920s for the same reason, yet it happened.

This argument refuses to take sides. I'm not "for the terrorists" with this argument (nor am I against them), I'm not "against the government" (nor am I a clear supporter), I might be slightly paranoid (which makes for a better discussion than being a paranoid who looks out for black helicopters).

With this argument I'm all for being careful, and it even leaves a door open for discussion how surveillance and data mining could be built in a way that such catastrophic effects won't happen - who would argue against that?

But suddenly, it's about the practical issues of surveillance and data mining.
She doesn't want the unattractive guys to hit on her, so she texts her fake significant other. The fantasy of an attractive guy being her boyfriend is better than a real boyfriend being just a regular guy.

Im curious how this is different from normal day to day.

I recall memories very often. they are very shallow though.

Like I remember touching the soft inner layer of my kid jacket (it had trains on it) but this is not a very detailed memory at all.

If I'm dying and those shallow memories would pop up, yeah sure why not? But 'life flashes before the eyes' is a very romanticized thing and I do not get why.

Recalling memories btw could also mean recalling any memories. This is probably no effidence for 'life flashes before...'
Just a datapoint. No, I procrastinate less now. My tip is to schedule remote co working, even if you are not working together, just talking to someone- planning your work and help them plan their work and end of day check etc has helped add structure better than onsite.
All I did was work on/design math/algorithm libraries. I can of course explain that I write code, and which parts of Google used it, but I can't explain anything I produced to non-technical people since there is nothing left when you removed the technical details.

I also worked on server message routing. I can explain that it is basically like the internet, ie explain why my job is important, but explaining any of my projects to a layperson wouldn't be possible without teaching the layperson a lot of technical skills.
I think they're talking more about the title: "Supreme Court".
