Does escaping onto 'paper' count, or is that simply transmuting the imprisonment into a virtual extension of my mind?
Yet another example of mistaking a new startup's state with its vision, from the sort of authors who implore people to "launch early" and then critique them for doing so. Bleh.
I don't think abolishing the TSA is realistic but I have no doubt there is a better way to run that organization, provide actual security without violating the US public.
"Also, I really doubt many doctors are in medicine to be able to fondle their patients."

Just to be clear, and I'm not saying you said that I said that (uh...), I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of doctors are not in the profession for this reason (a reasonably large part of my family and friends are doctors, all of them fine professionals with nothing but the best intentions in mind). So just to make clear that I'm not hammering on doctors here :)

That said, OK let's take away the consent. Let's say you're under anesthesia for removing your sinuses and the doctor pulls up the blanket and performs a genital exam. I still hold that this is not sexual assault.

(Note that this is not a hypothetical example. It is fairly common practice in Dutch hospitals for interns to practice gynecological exams on women on the surgery table, even without these women knowing. 4 or 5 students literally line up for this practice. There was a minor fuss about it a few years ago, maybe standards have been changed since then. The references I can find about it date from 2005-2006 and are all in Dutch. The doctors back then thought it was normal and nothing to be up in arms about. I have no reason to believe doctors in other countries have different methods; after all, otherwise where are these students going to practice? ).
The annoying thing here is that you then have code littered with (even more) dollar signs.

Now, at least for me (and I know I'm not alone here), my brain actually has a harder time parsing that crap because it just looks like a bunch of spaghetti PHP.

Focus on making your code well designed and structured; naming conventions are a band-aid on a larger problem, IMO.

Whomever gets the solution first wins, if there are money people in it, you need more computer power to be the first.
There are style markers (the writer's voice) that are in the paper no matter how it is edited. This is how critics and editors can tell when a book is written by the real author and when it is ghostwritten. The only way it's possible to avoid this is to digest a lot of material by the original author so you learn to become that voice.

This is also prevalent in song lyrics. You can hear when a rapper, for example, is using their own material rather than a ghostwriters. The flow and definition will be really different.
With QOS, one could leave their wifi open to help neighbors. If someone used p2p at full throttle, the standard firmware would let you either secure the connection or blacklist the (spoofable) MAC. With QOS, one could put the offending MAC into a class with a fraction of the total bandwidth - making the connection usable for everyone else, & not leading to a game of whack-a-mole with MACs.
From Wikipedia:

Operating Systems that are actually in use show that the real difficulty of Computer Science isn't deeply complex algorithmic complexity (although OSs have algorithms and data structures in spades)

The real problem is just mundane management / organization / interface / documentation that plain old enterprisey software fails on.

A lot of what is lost was handling a much smaller breadth of hardware, applications, and as you pointed out, a much simpler security exposure profile.
What do you consider shady about it?
Build an idiot-proof system and the universe will build a better idiot I guess :(
> think I dislike `is not` though, mostly because `!=` still exists so now there's two of them.

Note that "!= null" may behave differently than "is not null". != is an operator that can be overloaded, "is not" is not. Same counts for "is" and == when checking for null.
I am not OP but have found myself in his post.

I was laid off at the tail end of 2019, a mere week after I returned from my honeymoon. No explanations: money was tight, the higher ups wanted someone out, and I was the only remote worker. At that point I had been there longer than anyone else but the bosses. I was flabbergasted.

Then the pandemic hit. With everything going on, I was unable to get interested in any kind of IT position. I've always felt the need to work on interesting projects where I could make a change, somewhere, for someone. Just not this time.

I just can't. I know I can do great work, I just don't want to deal with everything else: most of the people, the stupid and arbitrary deadlines, the fabricated emergencies, the shifting priorities. I just want a task queue, a reasonable paycheck and being left alone.

So... idk man, you can spill the beans and let anyone who could find it useful get some of that advice.
This has been proposed in Nordic skiing to reduce the arms race around waxing. Standardize waxing, competitors receive skies immediately before race, etc.
> An interesting case is the is not null pattern. This will check whether the reference is not null. Using != null may check something different when the type overloads the != operator.

If it doesn't use the != operator then what does it use? How does it work with Nullable<T> which relies on that
There is a nice video explanation from PBS at https://youtu.be/O4Ko7NW2yQo
Apropos of the "four dog defense", Dashiell Hammett in The Thin Man has a woman say to a man she is walking out on: "I don't like crooks, and even if I did I wouldn't like crooks that are stool pigeons, and even if I did like crooks that are stool pigeons, I still wouldn't like you."
Yes, the period following massive government debt spending during WWII. There are unique economic and demographic factors specific to that era.
It also links to a comparison that is not in the paper, against Performer, Linformer and Reformer:

this seems like a pretty trivial amount of C, by comparison, and a pretty solved problem now.
>There's really nothing notable about this particular issue at all, except that it involves "consumer-like" devices that posters here understand and feel expert on

I think you're off base here; it's the very fact of Tesla using "consumer grade" hardware that is the (notable) problem. The people who "would have made the same mistake" are qualified to pass judgment if they know they are not qualified to develop automotive grade systems.
Google has been using Linux since before it was Google, since before it was cool to use Linux on the server. They pioneered it.
Yup, golang's guardrails are great, but they should be enforced on CI... not while coding locally.
Isn't this the racist trope on sites like 4chan, which races carry more of these genes.
You mean stable currency that is supported by 24$ trillion of national debt?
We're already taxing our medical system. Personnel will wear down.
Related, when it comes to youth sports as vectors for coronavirus transmission, ice hockey is a clear outlier, and the low humidity levels in ice rinks is a primary theorized reason: https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/12/04/hockey-covi...
This is why at Apple the division making MacBooks is called "portables" and not "laptops." They're officially not supposed to go on your lap.

Also the thermal limits of the human dermis are pretty well studied and documented. The vast majority of CE products are designed not to exceed 50°C, which is when the thin skinned (children and elderly) start to get second degree burns pretty fast. 60°C is where you burn almost immediately.

Interestingly 45°C is "threshold of pain" for most folks, but few companies set that as the target limit. Since thermal dissipation is a ∆T game that last 5 degrees matters a LOT for wattage out (on a hot day outside 30-35°C is a good surface temp estimate, so that last five degrees is the difference between 10 or 15 degrees out, a non trivial delta.)
Yes. Another example might be the safety glass used in automobile windshields. It's pretty tough, but when it does shatter, it doesn't produce the dagger-like shards of regular glass.

The key would be having no individual fragment with both the momentum and the "pointiness" to penetrate the enclosure.
Sure, but my question was a genuine one - is there a benefit to running both?
On #1, I've heard talk of having a sort of dock + external GPS feeding into the iPad, I doubt dead batteries are going to be a huge problem. I've flown primarily with a handheld, battery powered radio and that's never been a problem, though the batteries last longer.

And for what it's worth, the type can be really small on paper charts. A resizable view is a giant win, there.
I just listened to this. Normally I like the A16Z podcast but this one was way below the normal standard. Just because they were organised, tested the exploit before they released it over a wider area it must have been a nation state?

It is as if a group of mates who codes a hack like this for a hobby/interest are disorganised have no experience in delivering software? Such ignorance for a self confessed expert. Scary.
> forum.hardware.fr is a big one (it's not just about computer hardware, there's a decent section about news/world events, etc.)

What I assume is the equivalent, forum.hardware.no, used to be huge in Norway in the 00s too, but then the community more or less got swallowed by Reddit. Did the French one survive?
Well, the first flight at kitty-hawk was an unimpressive 12 seconds, so it still took a quite a while for people to actually start admitting that practical powered flight was possible or useful.

Analogously, GPT-3 is clearly far from perfect. But it does seem to be sufficiently useful for people to use it as a creative writing tool already today.

(Tantalizingly, there's some signs in people's playing with it that seem to suggest the beginnings of a there there. However, like a lot of people, I've been disappointed too often before to be sure; not without a lot more research. So I won't push that point today. )
It does matter a lot, changing things usually creates a short term improvement but over time that improvement goes away. This is a very common problem when evaluating teaching methods etc, basically any change at all will make teachers and kids excited and improve learning, but once those changes becomes standard the improvements go away and sometimes even reverse.
Oh, no doubt the Whitlam affair was directed by the CIA, but the idea that the Crown and the CIA are not in league is also pretty far-fetched. The UK is a significant lackey to a lot of the crime the CIA and other TLA's have been committing around the world, lately. The 5-eyes wars wouldn't be prosecuted with nearly as much enthusiasm if it weren't for the support provided by the crown, for the sake of British Petroleum ..
It's a two party system because everyone in US tries their hardest to keep it a two party system. Every election is the most important one ever, so there are "no options".

Instead of this, you can stop acting myopic towards elections and punish your party (vote the other one, 3rd party, or even write-in Bernie Sanders/Ron Paul) and force the political powers to answer accordingly if they want your vote for the next time.
This.

I know companies where management have refused work-from-home PRE-COVID have struggled to deal with their whole company forced to work from home because of lockdowns as they were unprepared. As soon as restrictions were lifted here, these same companies forced workers to come back into the office... and now only a few weeks later, we’re in a lockdown again.

In a digital world, and being the primary workers in this industry, I find companies that outright refuse work-from-home because “culture” are pissing in the wind.
you have to leave the 'show' program running or you get that error - leave your terminal window open, don't control-c out of it once you've started it, and it will work fine. I had the same issue :)
Hardware - macbook pro 15", and external 24" 1920x1200

I have a knee jerk reaction against posts like this, mostly because of the reference to $4 cups of coffee.

While the point is true, I think your time is best spent worrying about other things.

90% of money problems seem to come from a few things:
* Expensive cars - bought with debt.
* Expensive housing - again bought with debt.
* Expensive schooling - even more debt.

I've never bought (pun intended) the argument that dining out in any form (including coffee) even comes close to these other items. Even if you're eating out 3-5 nights per week, it's just not expensive enough. I guess if you're always feeding a family of 5 and buying expensive bottles of wine while you eat, then maybe.

I also think that time spent worrying about trivial stuff like coffee would be better spent trying to make more money.
My money is resoundingly on yes. I'm deeply cynical about NFT's the same way I'm cynical about Beanie Babies and Pokémon & MtG cards. It's not for me, but I get it, and they'll likely do quite well in terms of investment returns.
I'm not sure that they actually are. Touchpad was the name I always heard for that kind of input, remember they're not only used in computers.

I don't have the data but I think this is like the motherboard / logic board split. In other words "trackpad" may be Apple for "touchpad".
> the average user these days is likely more familiar with unix style paths via URLs than local filesystem paths

The average user ignores the contents of the address bar. "That's all tech gobbledegook". Increasingly, browsers even hide its contents from the user, just displaying the domain name, making the average user even less aware of it.

> Also, most non-unix operating systems that don't happen to be made by Microsoft also use the forward slashes for paths.

What are "non-unix operating systems that don't happen to be made by Microsoft". Non-Microsoft operating systems in common use – Linux (including Android), macOS/iOS/Darwin/XNU, *BSD – are Unix-like, and hence I wouldn't really call them "non-unix" (even if they are not strictly speaking certified as such)

If we look at non-Microsoft non-Unix(-like) operating systems (none of which are commonly encountered nowadays), we see a lot which use neither forward nor backslashes for directories. For example, OpenVMS and RISC OS both use dots, classic MacOS used colons. Stratus VOS uses the greater-than sign, which it inherited from Multics. The IBM mainframe operating system MVS (nowadays called z/OS) uses dots to separate the components of a dataset name – although those components aren't exactly directories. (It also supports forward slashes in its Unix compatibility subsystem, but that wasn't around for the first 25 years of its existence.)
By listing every race other than whites as the victims of this "harassment and intimidation", are you making some kind of oblique argument about who might be committing these acts? If so, perhaps you should have the courage to make your claim openly and not hide it behind sly language.

In any event, what do you think the breakdown of murders by race looks like? I'm genuinely interested in who you think is committing the most murders in the US and against which groups of victims.
I wasn’t entirely serious when suggesting to use the gambling rules but I think it still holds.

Poker doesn’t have pre defined odds of winning but it is still gambling, you can have the same thing with stocks. Or like sports betting maybe?

With the lootboxes, it’s easy: Simply give the chance of the stocks that might be in the box.

The rules are still there for the companies’ obligations.

Add betting transparency rules to the mix, like exchanges must provide real time dashboard showing all the bets all the time. No more mystery on who bets on what, are short positions closed etc.

But, we, as web-devs, know, KNOW, that blockers a) exist and b) are used by clients.

It's like missing a test case that covers 15% of your user base.
“Enterprise” security tends to take comfort from hearing you do Qualys scans, tends to be unimpressed with Falco, Twistlock, or Aqua, given maybe 1 in 3 odds they’ve heard of each. How you manage those expectations (along with satisfying procurement, risk, and compliance) tends to shape how well you sell into big FS, whether internal champions can count on being able to get you into the environment in timeframes needed for their projects.
Why isn’t insurance an option here? You mess up and you become too expensive to employ.
You should watch Dr. Derek Muller of Veritasium, who did a video (2019) details of the Helicopter while it was being built.

An interview with a member of China's 50 Cent Party.
Sure...propaganda generated for the direct purpose of trying to influence the masses. It has been around forever and is used by everyone from governments to multinationals to mom-and-pops up the road.

However, my question is this...is a "troll" just defined as someone who disagrees with you?

For example, I am sure, as unpleasant as it may seem, that there are plenty of people who sincerely think it's good that Russia invaded Ukraine...if these people voice their support, are they "trolling"?

How are you supposed to tell the difference?

Is calling someone a "troll" just a way to try to quickly marginalize any POV they may be trying to defend or promote? And if so, isn't it just a shortcut to censorship of any ideas you may not agree with? Is that the way we want discussions to work?

These are serious questions that I, personally, have about this issue. Am I considered a "troll" for having these questions?
Oh, as a parent of two kids myself (4 years & 6 months), I tell you: CONGRATS! I can't imagine having to deal with a job and the two kids alone. Good luck to you!
I suspect the self-publishers are reducing costs not by doing things more efficiently but by cutting corners on all the non-writing expenses; this could turn out to be a "worse is better" moment for the publishing industry.
Conventions are powerful. Programmers should be allowed and able to come up with their own conventions that match their domain.

I personally find sinatra routes more scalable than Rails routes because they are modular (defined within the resources). Rails routes are one monolithic file with a separate controller layer.
I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean you want to start with Android and if it doesn't work out, go with iPhone?

While I understand that currency power can vary quite a bit and have a huge effect here (and I don't know if that affects you), I would say it's generally not a big deal compared to other costs.

But another interesting point is there has been suggestions that the subscription fee be much higher, rather than remove it. I am supportive of this. The reasoning behind this is it helps to filter off a certain class of developers that tends to pollute the app store. Part of it is due to the poor discovery facilities of the app store, but making it more exclusive does have it's benefits, and drawbacks, naturally.
I can't work on any machine that doesn't have this done. Of course, I always have Emacs open, so convenient ctrl access is critical. :)
The problem is that after the while, the experimentation doctors tend to do can become damaging. The OP already mentions one operation with negative net effect, as well as taking anti depressants for years (they tend to have side effects).

If you go to a specialist in X, he will at least experiment with some of the treatments for X (hence antidepressants if you go see a psychiatrist). I think that is just how medicine works most of the time: exclude some things from the symptoms, then experiment with cures. If you do that for several years, it becomes really trying.

I wonder if a nice database of everything that has been tried on a patient could possibly help a bit? Doesn't Google provide some kind of service for that?
AT&T should realize that they'd be out of business (because of their poor customer support and poor network) without the iPhone. I would think that if they do realize that, then they would listen to what Apple has to say.
You don't need to fence the whole area off. Just a few reinforced doors at strategic places would have stopped anyone without heavy equipment. Also they would have been a place for the police to stand their ground.

Just all stairs going upwards should be easy to defend if the police stands their ground. Add a few police dogs and the officers wouldn't even have to engage themselves.

There was a smaller crowd trying to enter the German parliament just a few weeks ago, politically pretty close to the rioters of Washington. A whole three policemen were able to stop them by just consequently standing their ground, not armend beyond batons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pc-56opg-Xg
