I was trying to download FileZilla as well when I first encountered the 'installer'. I stopped the download a couple of times, then searched around and found a direct download link in a thread in FileZilla forum. Second time I was in a hurry, I just downloaded the installer anyway, then carefully opted out of installing those crapwares.

However I encountered the new installer when trying to download FileZilla only. I had to download a couple of different software since then, but those did download directly, no installer.
Really, no android? really?
Your child comes to you and says a teacher raped them and your response would be you "might mention it to mutual acquaintances"? You wouldn't want to be a "snitch" and tell the school that employed the teacher?
YES!! or knowing where I was going but.... losing my spatial awareness - I'm on my own street a block from home and nothing looks familiar and I'm expecting things to look like Ohio where I grew up, not rural Utah...

I'm 41, and I should have at least 20+ years before I get dementia I hope, and nobody's ever had it in my family until > 90, so hopefully I don't get it till then.

Edit: I used to deliver pizzas, my spatial awareness is a keen skill I've honed, it's odd for it to just not work and for me to not know where I am. I usually have my route planned out to the lane changes I'll make and where I'll make them, as well as avoiding every left-hand turn I can.
The basic directions (beat egg, stir in vanilla, etc) are part of the recipe. The courts have ruled that there's need to be substantial content to make it copyrightable. That, along with ads and the need to "drive engagement" is why most recipe sites have long articles around the list of ingredients.

"A recipe is a statement of the ingredients and procedure required for making a dish of food. A mere
listing of ingredients or contents, or a simple set of directions, is uncopyrightable. As a result, the
Office cannot register recipes consisting of a set of ingredients and a process for preparing a dish." https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ33.pdf
I noticed you can also use the form below the window to mount various DOS floppies.

Then, within xenix, do: dosls /dev/fd096 and you can see what's on the floppy. There's other dos* commands that do what you would imagine they do, like doscat, doscp, etc.
Do you think your friend might have been using the alphabet as an example of what Sesame Street had taught his kid, and not as a complete catalogue?

And they told me that my Facebook post was in violation of the non-disclosure agreement, and that I was a security risk and needed to hand over my badge and my laptop immediately, and be escorted off site."

I've never been fired before, but I'm pretty sure when they ask you for your badge and laptop and escort you out the door, you're being fired.

Or sometimes just pay a ton of contractors to do something, and then tech media reports it as automating things.
I have to disagree again because someone told me "once I get home I'm gonna sculpt me a penis" (implying it is not already one)
You might be looking at the wrong language for that. Can I interest you in some Java instead? Do you want it to Go?
That's insane. A thought occured recently - some lines of code in the python code base have been executed an innumerable number of times (trillion-trillion? Can't even start to calculate the order of magnitude). Even the subtlest of optimizations to these lines could collectively save probably hundreds or thousands of tons of CO2 from being released. That alone might deserve a couple of People looking into such massively common codebases fulltime.

I'm going through something similar, but I haven't visited a doctor ... yet. But its getting out of control. I was reading that itching from eczema drives people to suicide, just like dry eyes ... things one would only assume as minor discomforts, until you realize you can't sleep any more, causing a downward spiral.

Just recently, I found this in medicalXpress
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-01-acute-eczema-patients...

Which you may want to check out because of IgE. It goes into how typical antihistamines don't work because the itch signal is from a different pathway, etc.

Also this week I found out about this book
https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/588965/clean-by-jam...

from this article

https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/what-happens-if-you-stop...

"James Hamblin, physician, staff writer for The Atlantic and author of Clean: The New Science of Skin; and Jack Gilbert, a renowned microbial ecology professor at the University of California, San Diego and co-author of Dirt Is Good: The Advantage of Germs for Your Child’s Developing Immune System."

One of them recommends using soap only for "pits and bits" :) But as runners both, thats hard to do when covered in sweat and salt.
While I agree this can only benefit the Python community - I'll reserve judgement as to whether in the long term this proves to be beneficial for the next 3 to 5 years.
I really don't understand why people are upset with my comment.

This is right off the WHO web site

>>>>WHO, in consultation and collaboration with the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), has identified best practices for the naming of new human diseases, with the aim to minimize unnecessary negative impact of disease names on trade, travel, tourism or animal welfare, and avoid causing offence to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional or ethnic groups

I mean if what I was saying was untrue that would be one thing but the facts are all laid out on the WHO messaging archive.

This only happened a year ago, don't be fooled by the powers that be. Those lights really are dimmer!!
> But its not showing things directly, is it?

I don't understand the downvotes. That's an honest fundamental question.

It's not "showing things directly" because it can't. The limit of what you can see with light is proportional to the wavelength of the light (this is called the diffraction limit). For visible light and lens-based optics that's around 1/2 micron.

The distance between the atoms in that graphite is ~3 angstroms, that about 2000 times smaller than the diffraction limit for visible light.

You CAN get atomic resolution with a transmission electron microscope. Instead of light it uses electrons and has a far finer diffraction limit that visible light. Instead of lenses it uses electrostatic deflection.
Weird that people almost celebrating in this thread? Facebook is a tool like any other and is only 'bad' if you allow that to happen.
I’ve gotten so used to switching between keyboard layouts when moving from e-mail to coding that I don’t think about this much, but it can be tremendously irritating when I’m on a new machine or just forget to switch.

(pt-PT keyboard, parenthesis and brackets are either an off-by-one or require Alt-Gr+Shift to type.)

Using a US keyboard layout for a while really drives home how much it influenced popular CLI character choices (like path separators, pipe characters, etc.), too.

I thought it was a representation of our ignorance towards eastern culture. Even his opening lines are polish and nothing at all to do with Kazakh..

Playing on the west’s ignorance was the joke, and him convincingly reeling people in for interviews was the comedy. Not the character itself, the reaction to the character.
I think that those who oppose companies doing business with China do not do so because they believe that the Chinese people themselves or Chinese culture (by which I mean their history, language, religion, art, etc. as divorced from the government) are bad.

Instead I think that they believe that doing business in China implicitly supports the Chinese government by failing to make a statement and by making the government more successful economically. That is basically the same idea behind a government implementing economic sanctions.

There is also the issue that in some cases doing business in China means actively supporting the actions of the Chinese government; e.g. by engaging in censorship.

Finally, I think that there is a perception that Chinese industry "cheats". This could include stealing intellectual property, requiring foreign corporations to partner with Chinese corporations, and asymmetry in the ability for foreigners to integrate into and be accepted by the culture. In the same way that working as a scab at a company with unfair labor practices could be good for the scab but bad for workers as a whole, a corporation doing business in China despite these issues could be viewed as prioritizing individual profit over the common good.

I'm not necessarily saying that I agree with all of these points in all situations. I'm just trying to show that people do have legitimate points that don't boil down to McCarthyism.

For the one lap until it overheats, or until this pig needs to hit an apex.
The author needs to get past the fantasy that the US government is the big bad guy in a room full of innocent school children. Russia, while weakened over the past few years, is a global military power. China (and India) are starting to flex their muscles. North Korea is still ruled by a cantankerous despot. The technology advantage the US has held since WWII is waning, and with it goes the luxury of military complacency. I'd rather the skirmishes happen behind the scenes than with more large-scale conventional warfare.
Doh! You got me!!! ;)
I've helped a number of people "get started with Rails" over the years, and I've had to help every single one of them get their environment set up properly.

I think there's tremendous value in this kind of site. If someone comes up to you and says "how can I get started with Rails?" now you can just point them to this site and tell them to get in touch when they've finished the tutorials. Then you can help them set up their environment properly ;)
> a) It's not going to kill you.

No, probably not. And yet, from the response of UCSF PhDs, it sounds like there needs to be more research into what the effects will be. Let's get that done before we foist it on the flying public (particularly kids, pregnant women, cancer survivors, etc.).

The question is whether prompting users for whether the site should be allowed to store stuff does anything. You have no idea why it wants to store data, or how much. So it's basically just a security thing, but how would you evaluate that? Usually people would look at the domain name I guess, but "20thingsilearned.com" is no more legit than "twentythingsilearned.com".
It's not likely China and Russia would. But it allows the US to take the moral high ground, which you cannot at the moment. The risk would be that other countries would know of your capabilities, but it's fairly likely that they know that anyway: since there's amateurs on the ground in the US tracking it, it's a fair bet there are agencies in China doing the same, and I bet the Chinese have spies in one of the many organizations tasked to build this thing.
Nice. I was just about to complain. :)

Except that the straight line is in feature space and not input space; the computations are done using only a kernel function, which takes vectors in the input space, and computes the dot product in the feature space.

This is a very important distinction because while the method is linear in the feature space, it can solve non-linear problems in the input space.
Yeah, I'm one of the reddit admins.

They are. Which means this is probably a software issue or some other systemic issue.

Ok, it's a bomb scare and the building's shutdown for 12 hours.

How I was supposed to get ' "relying", as in "depending on the cloud without any alternative backup" ' from what your originally wrote, I don't know.
For what it's worth, I built one like this on an old Linux laptop. I then moved my home lighting controller onto it as a test. Some months later my house lights stopped working, and I had to spend a few hours applying snippets semi-randomly from Stack Overflow. It could be the problem was due to expired Kubernetes certificates, or it could be something else.

Either way, my conclusion was that Kubernetes is really meant for more scale and attention than I like to give my home infrastructure, so although I enjoyed the experiment, I would encourage people not to run important services on something like this.
The carry between bytes can be applied as-you-go with LE but has to be done after with BE. Which would double the execution time (adding zero/1 to each byte of the result).
That's a funny term, and that's kind of what I'm talking about, as a reader it causes discord to me when positive adjectives are used to describe something that is unwanted, but "misconducting" heat is an example of exactly what you want to happen in the scenario.
$2250 is the first year. Then $750 a year. This includes support. To my understanding, development alone without distribution falls under the personal license.
I think adblockers is a bandaid-on-a-gunshot solution and will be a rat-race between advertisers trying to avoid blockage and blockers getting more sophisticated, where in the end the end user would suffer most.

If there were an unlimited supply of surgical masks that would make sense. If you wearing a mask deprives actually sick people of wearing one then you are still worse off then not wearing one.
As much as I love MLK and Gandhi, this assertion never made sense to me.

An eye for an eye would leave two people blind: the person who blinded the other, and the one that was blinded.

Once people start seeing the severe consequence of blinding someone (getting blinded back), they and everyone else would most likely stop, not continue blinding more people.
Thx for feedback, added MIT license! We have both the .com and .org domains, once we're ready for production they'll show the same material!
I'm baffled how one office spreading patently false information that defies logic and physics could be so effective.

Not using a mask as community will ensure that virtually everywhere is potentially contaminated and you are under a larger risk and at all times --not isolated to the moment when you remove the mask (which people typically do at a place where they can wash/cleanse their hands anyway).

So for crying out loud, please stop spreading this nonsense! Masks don't replace washing hands, general hygiene and social distancing, it supplements them. And of course they do work: https://doi.org/10.7326/0003-4819-151-7-200910060-00142 https://doi.org/10.1177/003335491012500206
Doesn't surprise me. Used Android Auto for a while, in my opinion it's a terribly designed interface for the purpose.

I miss tactile buttons and knobs that you could develop muscle memory around.
I do this very frequently on Mac. Here’s how I do it. I paste all the images into Microsoft Word. You can paste anything into Microsoft Word. Then I take a screenshot and then I annotate it with Skitch.
> You can destroy your Chrome Notebook and then walk to another and pick up where you left off. That’s not true of Android and, by design, IT NEVER WILL BE.

Some co-workers (of mine) are working on a system to make that property true for any laptop and any operating system. (It obviously involves virtualization and sending (encrypted) hard disk diffs around.)
And if you lose root, the disk must be reimaged. Rootkits are too advanced these days to ever make the assumption that you have removed them.
What the hell? I was quite impressed by the original 1000Memories' look (the simple 2/3 colors gradient background that looks like the inside of a pearl shell). Now with all the shining blue buttons it looks like a tech webapp.
I think what that post is trying to say is this: focus on your core competency. Amazon is good at cloud computing, Netflix is good at renting/streaming movies.

However, there are some cases where "core competency" is a vague term. Take Facebook for example - could they outsource their infrastructure to somebody else? Given how much data they have to handle, probably not. When you get to the point where scaling requires very low-level (Hunch) or massive (Google or Facebook) optimizations/deployments, you might be entering the business of handling intricate infrastructure yourself.
gah! You made my head a'splode with the involuntary reaction I have any time anyone mentions universal login.

I really dislike the idea of being forced to use any one service in order to access multiple different services. I actually will go to rather extreme lengths to avoid this.
Microsoft used to have the DOS line (e.g. Windows 98) and the NT line.
The fact that BuyWithMe wasn't able to raise a large substantial round in the wake of Groupon/LivingSocial's funding success was a signal of stress or things not being what they should be at BWM. And the CEO ultimately was held accountable.
Then it should link to the various places where those arguments have been discussed. As it is it's hard to take that as a neutral reference and looks more like an opinion piece against the implementation of generics in Go trying to pass off as a neutral reference. If that was on wikipedia it would be littered with [citation needed].
Recruitment companies have to source roles for their business to work. They'll contact these companies, 1 in 10 will say yes to the approach and they'll land candidates for 1 in 10 of those.

600 roles paying average of $80k, means they land 6 roles at an average commission of 12.5% of first year salary = $60k. They can afford to throw you 2k for this.
By the very nature of cryptocurrencies, they can't prevent anyone building a centralized company around them, and I don't think that was ever the intent. The permissionless, decentralized properties are important in the following respects:

- anyone can transact with anyone on the blockchain

- the fed can't print more of it

Anything else is a disctraction.

Besides that it's pretty obvious that Coinbase is centralized, regulated etc.. mainly because it deals in USD, not Bitcoin or Ethereum.
It's been coming "in a year" since 2014.
The key part is “but the work as whole must be licensed under the terms of the GPL.”

You are taking a look at the start of the speedrun and claiming that it's already over. All of those issues will eventually be solved.

This is simply not true. It is entirely possible to make it possible to mint new coins. You can burn coins by buying them back and sending them to a wallet owned by no one.
This article is indeed amusing. Since his predictions, average sea ice extent in the arctic has been higher than in 2012 (when the artice was written) for every year since. The long term standardized coverage of ice is sloping gently downwards and that's an issue to worry about, yes, but the scientific prediction referenced here by the Guardian shows just how easy it is to be misled by dramatic statements even from scientists about the next X years, who know that in X years few will remember what they had claimed while it helped boost their names initially. Yes, scientists are self-promoting human beings just like anyone.

That aside, many of the other comments here, filled with deep existential dread about our future world, are straying into the manic given how terrible humans are at predicting anything at all over the long term. There are far too many unknown unknowns for us to be sure of any aspect of catastrophe for 2100 or even for earlier years. Never mind years beyond 2100.

It should serve as very serious food for thought just how much reactions to COVID by public officials, scientists and the media as well were bungled, confused and fraught with false claims (notable examples: masks don't work, the virus has a 1-3% mortality rate) in just a single year because of science and politics mixing heavily in a media charged atmosphere. Yet somehow, the far, far more complex theme of global climate patterns over decades combined with human trends during the next 70 years, is taken as a near given of planetary catastrophe to the point where many of you are firmly convinced that having children now is barely a step below slow murder...
