> When I was there a guy jumped off a building because they wouldn't let him switch off a toxic team

This guy's manager was also promoted in the next promo cycle.

Amazon really makes it clear they're a fucking awful company filled with immoral employees.

I've got a laundry list of Amazon horror stories.
Branch delay slots on MIPS come about because the instruction decoder already has the next instruction ready by the time the conditional runs. The architecture decides to unconditionally run this instruction instead of potentially throwing it away due to the results of the branch.
1) That assumes these markets stay supply limited, which has often showed not to be the case. Even against all predictions. I know several nurses who would jump at the chance to leave the hospital infrastructure and help people on a more personal level if they could retain some level of financial stability. An UBI could provide that stability. It is necessary to see what makes these markets supply limited and address those issues if needed. This stands apart from the questions of UBI.

2) I find the fact that he does not have a simple answer to a complex problem a breath of fresh air in our political climate.
The substance is only part of the equation, there's a lot of value in the skill and wisdom in an individual therapist's attention and work. And no licensed therapist is going to risk working with street pharm.
> Glad to see Eternal Terminal works with FreeBSD too.

Just installed it on my server. Package doesn't include any rc.d service file though. And I am fairly certain that unlike mosh, the Eternal Terminal etserver needs to run as a service, seeing as that is what they do on Linux and on macOS.

I'm gonna open an issue about it on their issue tracker.
The author makes a lot of claims, but doesn't back them up. After reading this article, I can only conclude that she wanted me to fear new AI applications, but I am not convinced that I should. It's typical media-scare-mongering in the pages of Nature.

Probably also worthwhile to point out that when someone in a Western journal says we should regulate an AI application, we should be clear that they mean: Let's regulate it in the West and let other nations pull ahead. That's the market context.

AI gets fetishized, but it is a product like many others. If you make claims about it, then you should be able to prove it, otherwise you are committing false advertising. That is to say, AI is already regulated. It remains unclear whether AI requires a new regulatory regime. Personally, I doubt it.
I saw the letter being drafted and promoted in /g/ and if you go there now you'll find threads talking about it, I bet. But it is 4chan and threads don't stay up long or get archived, so you can be content in thinking I'm lying if you prefer.
This was an intentional move even if no one else wants to admit it.

You can't hide implementation from the User in such an environment; at least not to the degree you can with precompiled programs with debug symbols stripped. One requires you to infer function from raw assembly, the other, lets you step through areas of code that vendors want to keep out of the reach of user understanding.

90% of established security practices around code delivery are around keeping your product from being too easily reversed or "owned" by those who use it.

Thus the popularity of -as-a-Service business models. You can't invoice for something a user just uses.
Or that “if you don’t do it, they will”.
Only if there is a conflict of interest in the people doing the ranking.

I'm a bit confused. caption is supposed to be length of underlying array of a slice. What does it mean, concepturally, to create a new slice out of an existing one but with a different length of underlying array?

Another thing is, maybe I'm worrying too much but, what if Go becomes more and more complicated that simplicity is not one of its advantages anymore, and people who're new to the language will get scared?
Scots commonly refer to this as a hot toddy, and as well as the lemon juice and honey we'll add a healthy dose of whisky. Adding pepper or cinnamon is common too.
Wow, Google sounds pretty cool inside! Sure, Google makes a lot of money, but the tech execs aren't focused on that and it's a data-driven business. I have no idea how impressive Google really is inside, but every time I hear about it, Google sounds so darn impressive!

And then I recall about Prism. And I think about how a secret program like that costs money and significant technical involvement from the host to run. Google took public money to help run Prism, and Google techs actively supported the dragnet. Pretty shameful, IMO.

As an ex-Googler who apparently can speak out, I ask you: if Google has competitors that are privacy focused, isn't it in everyone's best interest to select the competitors' products over Google's despite Google's excellence? And, can you report if anything has been done at Google to lift this stink of surveillance from its products?

Is Google still a willing participant in Prism-style data collection of its users?
I don't want the data for me. I want people who study long term weather patterns to have detailed hyperlocal datasets from 190,000 daily collectors.
I was reading a Chinese EV review comparing BYD's Han to Tesla M3.

https://tieba.baidu.com/p/7138577846

The Han uses iron cathode whereas the Chinese-made M3 uses the nickel cathode.

The Han is ~6000 USD cheaper, but gets slightly higher range than the M3 (Han has longer city driving range, but worse at high way). This is especially impressive when the Han is ~400KG heavier than the M3.

Both cars have comparable charging speed (31%-100% for 1hr 15min).

The reviewer concluded that the Han is a worthy competitor, but Tesla still has an edge at tuning and design. With Tesla switching to iron cathode, I think Tesla can eek out comparable battery performance while maintaining their edge in other areas.
Most people who know about that case are mistaken about certain crucial facts. The collusion was that some companies agreed not to cold call each other's employees.[1] Hiring was still allowed, as were other recruiting methods such as e-mail or LinkedIn messages.

The particularly nasty bit of collusion was between Apple and a few other companies (Google, Adobe, Pixar). This collusion only happened because of Steve Jobs's vindictive personality combined with interlocking directorates[2]: Jobs was on the board of Pixar, and Google & Adobe executives were on Apple's board. Despite Jobs's best efforts, the collusion fell apart after only 4 years because the companies kept poaching from each other. It was over a year later that the DoJ filed its first complaint.

Despite what most people think, it's really hard for companies to cartelize. There is a massive incentive for any one member of the cartel to pretend to collude while secretly not colluding. Typically, such arrangements fall apart unless there is a governing body that can sniff out and punish defectors.

I proposed using it to model lifecycles of entities:

https://github.com/tim-group/higher-kinded-lifecycle/blob/ma...

(in this code, "idea" is a domain concept from the firm i worked for at the time - basically a recommendation to buy a stock, which is 'opened' on a certain date, and 'closed' when it no longer seems like a good recommendation)

My collegues didn't like it, and stuck to using separate types for objects in different stages of the lifecycle!
I recall reading the percent of people refusing consent was something like 95%. No idea how much that will impact revenue though.
" I bought a Lamy Safari and a Pilot Metropolitan with refillable tanks. These are “cheap” pens."

I wouldn't let that worry you for an instant, that is unless you want one that's very pretty or just damn pretentious (i.e.: a wanky talking point) like my Montblanc (I got it super cheap and duty free). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meisterst%C3%BCck. Like watches, you pay heaps and heaps just for the styling (they don't necessarily write better).

That said, I prefer both my Parker and Waterman to the Montblanc as I prefer to write with them, especially the Waterman. Moreover the damn Montblanc leaks when taken on planes—having ink dripping down one's shirt in the middle of a flight is a real pain. Nevertheless, keep in mind that refillable tanks are the best as you can select and match inks to suit but they are more likely to leak than a pre-filled cartridge when on a flight.

I don't have a Lamy at the moment but I've had them in the past and they're really pretty good pens. Irrespective, of which pen you have, it's important that the nib you have suits your writing style (it's worth trying various types out if you haven't done so already).
I think they just have an irrational fear of radiation outside the doctor's office (whether or not that's valid here) - due to it being crammed down their throats for decades - and a massive aversion to being seen naked - also largely due to it being crammed down their throats for decades.

If they like liberty, why did/do they not get as spitting mad about the Patriot Act, the DMCA, and the ACTA? I'm guessing it's because their naked butts aren't staring them in the face after being irradiated.
Similarly, http://djangobook.com/en/2.0/ . I really like the user interface for this one.
Yes I agree. But, I believe that it is just a perversion. In any project that involves RDBMS writing queries is just a small part of development. Surely you could modify queries with Clojure-QL (with SQL it will be a suicide) but what you gain from it ??? (more free time - I don't think so).
Furthermore, having such dynamic "meta-"things in your code, eventually will cost you more time in debugging it.

With SQL it is straight-forward: you prototype your query using some GUI client and then you just embed it in your program. How it can be done with Clojure-QL ?
I can believe it, and you know why? Because our country still cares about personal American liberty.

Viva la libertad!

You guys know the Weird Al song, right?

The book is about sterile, future society. "Savages" is completely relative. We'd all be considered savages by BNW standards.

If that school focused more on educating and less on banning it, the student might have understood the context of the book.
Or we could all just use international proxies and/or TOR.
PHP.Net and Django.

PHP's multiple examples are really neat. that and people commenting.
For a couple of reasons that I can think of. You might want to do a rollback. You may have multiple copies of the database (various dev versions, staging, production), and multiple changesets might build up in one environment before progressing to another which must be specifically ordered. There may be changes that need to be manually coded or tweaked, and you need some intermediate structure for that to happen.
Yes, capitalism is a worthy ideal. But don't forget that rentism is one of its failure modes, and a very common one; I don't think it's inaccurate to describe attempts to fight rentism as anti-capitalist.
Meh, I don't think so. You probably couldn't pick a random union member but there's gotta be someone smart, driven, and mad enough to do it for free and do a good job at it. Hell, if I had the skills and resources to, I would.
Not much use unless you specify the size of the pot ;)

By my calculation, 1MWh is enough to boil 600 17-liter pots, which isn't very human-relatable.
>it’s also about maximising your chances of success — or your expected utility, or whatever your goal is — based on the information you do have (e.g. in poker).

Can you explain this with a few examples?
GoatCounter can be self-hosted; it's a first-class use case.
Or I could vote against unionisation in the first place.
Bitcoin never claimed it was going to put a magical fence around your house stopping armed agents.
> Kelton et al have severely underrated how much people hate inflation.

And right-wing media had nothing to do with that, of course.
Good points! Thorchain (a non-custodial service) claims 1.9B total swap volume. So, while not viable today for billions of dollars, the Bitcoin -> Thorchain -> Tornado Cash pathway seems to be viable for smaller amounts. Which doesn't necessarily bode well for recovering stolen bitcoin (and other crypto) in the future.

A thief still has to figure out how to convert crypto to fiat. But I am assuming that there are jurisdictions where this is possible without KYC.
I found jitsi to be nigh unusable.
If Apple wouldn't have effectively crippler innovation by not providing NFC (and later one locking it down) we probably would have contact less payment and many other similar services by now everywhere.

I know of multiple pilot projects and startups which where basically killed (or majorly revamped) because just supporting Android wasn't viable and Apples not showing any intention to support NFC.

The fact that the NFC we have now is missing a major feature of original NFC isn't helping either (the ability to act as a NFC card if the device it's embedded in is powered of/out of battery).
Waiting for animations is killing my speed run drive.
Ahhh that makes perfect sense. Thanks for the explanation.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if there are very hard limits to what science can prove when it comes to questions like these. After all some experiments can't be done from within the box and the box that we're in is made of the very laws that we're trying to escape from in order to do the experiments.

It's almost the physical equivalent of Gödel's incompleteness theorem.
Nice idea, but really difficult to follow all those steps.

I remember to have a plugin like that on Hubot for Hipchat time ago.
Part of the problem, is that Dijkstra's complaint is often still quite relevant: "Software engineering, of course, presents itself as another worthy cause, but that is eyewash: if you carefully read its literature and analyse what its devotees actually do, you will discover that software engineering has accepted as its charter 'How to program if you cannot'."
In case you weren't aware: https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/18160
Just as understanding the science to music does not make you a good musician or allow you to build a great band, understanding the science to teams does not make you a good team builder.

I look at these things as performance art. Theory goes in the background when you perform all that is left is execution.
No he didn't write it. He had a much easier job, to pick software that does do it right.
I haven't used amazon's service, but everything i've heard about it is complaints. it sounds like there's plenty of room for competition.
I have a great way StavrosK can offer his image hosting for free, forever. pmoriarty if you would just pay all of StavrosK's hosting bills going forward we can all live in the promised land of free image hosting.
Idk about you, but if I see a human start to step into the road I slow down/stop depending on how close they are. Someone stopped and facing the road looking both ways obviously may be attempting to cross, even if "illegally"
Then fork it. The difficult part is figuring out where the minimal cut is.
I have an issue at my work right now where excel files generated by some Java libraries used by another team do not open in LibreOffice. To share them with members running linux and LO, someone with a real Excel installation has to open it up, and re-save the file, then it is compatible.

I think that's what they mean by external entity? I've also personally had problems with openpyxl in python
I think we complain about dating apps because it's a harder pill to swallow that dating itself is a crapshoot, and you just sound like an incel when you complain about dating and how unfair life is.

Besides, aren't we presumably on Tinder because of the logistical downsides of meeting people otherwise? Nothing stops us from using Tinder as a supplement. If dating was so great and without trade-offs, we wouldn't have downloaded Tinder to begin with. :)
Axios is pretty biased.
Unfortunately not yet, but we are working on it. Meanwhile we have example OpenVPN config files available, which you can use for OpenVPN on Android too: https://www.wifimask.com/contact#androidwindows
Router advertisement via ICMP is one I can name off the top of my head.
Yes. Here are some of the practices I disagree with, as reported by an Uighur refugee fleeing the "counter-narrative strategy" of imprisoning people in "reeducation camps":

> “I will give you an example. There was an old woman in the camp who had been a shepherd before she was arrested. She was taken to the camp because she was accused of speaking with someone from abroad by phone. This was a woman who not only did not have a phone, she didn’t even know how to use one. On the page of sins the inmates were forced to fill out, she wrote that the call she had been accused of making never took place. In response she was immediately punished. I saw her when she returned. She was covered with blood, she had no fingernails and her skin was flayed.”

> Tears stream down Sauytbay’s face when she tells the grimmest story from her time in the camp. “One day, the police told us they were going to check to see whether our reeducation was succeeding, whether we were developing properly. They took 200 inmates outside, men and women, and told one of the women to confess her sins. She stood before us and declared that she had been a bad person, but now that she had learned Chinese she had become a better person. When she was done speaking, the policemen ordered her to disrobe and simply raped her one after the other, in front of everyone. While they were raping her they checked to see how we were reacting. People who turned their head or closed their eyes, and those who looked angry or shocked, were taken away and we never saw them again. It was awful. I will never forget the feeling of helplessness, of not being able to help her. After that happened, it was hard for me to sleep at night.”

Good article ... looks like the author predicted something like the IPad.
That said, people I've discussed screencasting with (nearly all in the Ruby community) have typically recommended video first then a voiceover - this includes Geoffrey Grosenbach of Peepcode (he also shares this technique in his screencast about screencasting).

I tend to do everything in one take then edit out the mistakes so I haven't got an informed preference, though doing the audio first does seem to make sense from a pacing and "maintaining interest" perspective.. you can always edit down/speed up the video parts, after all.

I suspect that merely being detailed enough to think about these processes and how they work (or not) for you is enough to put you above average in the screencasting stakes.
You're right that you can't change the abilities you are born with but if you do use the skills that come easy to you then you can learn new abilities or work around your inabilities with those you had from birth.

I've been depressed and suicidal and if you believe that genetics contribute to it then it runs in the family since my father and brother also suffered from it. One of the most wonderful things about depression though for me was with the help of medication I was able to overcome it. Depression is just one medical issue that can effect your "right attitude" but with the right assistance you can work through those problems. You have control over your attitude. (Up to a point, there are cases where the brain as magnificent as it is will not function normally and can result in a permanent inability to have the "right attitude")

I don't believe that we are a sole product of our environment, we aren't what society made us. I haven't always had "high moral character and integrity" but I've change how I think over time about my life. You can change how you think, I believe we aren't set in stone completely.

Ah and then free will comes into play. I believe we have free will and thus we have complete control and responsibility for what we do.
Bah! No Lua :(
you really dont need a distro for that, you can just whip up a chef, puppet or pallet recipe and away you go...
It not under the control of a conscious entity which can flexibly formulate new goals, adapt to new tasks, etc. But under a loose definition you could say that quite a few large systems are under "an entity's control" in the sense that they have an internal set of procedures they're carrying out, criteria they use to make decisions, etc. It's a rather hardwired and unchanging entity, but in large (and especially old and incrementally grown) systems, what exactly it's doing and why might actually be somewhat opaque to the human operators.

It's basically a philosophical question what you want to call that, but I'm okay with at least metaphorically calling that a situation where "the machine is in control", because in a sense it "knows" what it's doing and carries it out, whereas the human operators have only a vague sense of what it's doing, and sometimes have to engage in software archaeology to figure it out and change anything.

(But yes, I wouldn't say that an "AI" is in charge of anything.)
I did the SAME exact thing.
Thumbs up on Screenflow. It does quite a bit for $99. I especially like how easy it is to swap in alternate takes of things.

I've been using it to develop live presentations with slides, and was very helpful in working out a talk for Ignite Phoenix, where timing is extra crucial.

I tend to write down some notes, then do a recording more or less ad lib, see how much I screwed up and flubbed things, and gradual get a feel for what phrasing feels most natural, what steps are needed, what I have to explain.

The end result is a sort of pre-recording of your talk, which you can watch as an aid to practising and getting the whole thing into our head.

Also, good point on keeping screencasts short. I hate having to jump around in some 20-minute recording trying to find where one or another item was explained. Better to break things down to a set of tighter presentations.
;-)

She was on and she was good.
Of course it is creating them outside the timer, the point is pre-allocating objects!
I would love to see this happen. Excel provides so much and yet falls so short.
Just came back from the DMV and had a man lean over to read the title of my book more carefully; it had "Adversarial Information Retrieval" on the cover, collected conference papers. You could tell from the look on his face that he understood what each individual word meant, but not their combination (I was itching to enlighten, only if he asked.)

Worse than Lisp is casual mathematics. People just can't grok that mathematics can be "read" by the lay non-mathematician. They know 'mathematician' and 'physicist', and they also know that engineers use calculus, but the rest of mathematics looks exotic and hard to them. Even when the math is used for the sake of brevity, a more concise and more malleable representation of mental models (objects.)

The next time someone asks me to multiply large integers in my head just because I read stuff with greek letters, I will substitute variables for their values and solve the general case, starting with a primitive ZF construction of the natural numbers ;-)
The problem is, they're just bad vehicles. They don't handle well, they guzzle fuel and they kill more pedestrians. There is no point in them unless you're a farmer.
75 is a rather low FoV, so that seems unlikely.
