"Unfortunately printing is so expensive, complicated and time consuming most of us can’t be bothered to do it even though we know we should."

Not sure about anywhere else on the planet, but prints are pretty cheap at my local 1 hour photo place.
Having the sun at its highest point as close to noon as possible is a human right.
Now known as the finer art of bullshit.
I second this. Switched from Verizon to AT&T. I can get good speeds on AT&T's 4G LTE network in some of the lowest population spots - in the middle of nowhere - on the east coast. Their network has been impressive so far.
> This hypothetical situation people keep referring to hasn’t happened in Wuhan or Italy.

China built sixteen new hospitals in Wuhan in two weeks.

Italy is overwhelmed. Listen to any Italian doctor. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/coronavirus-...
I said many, not most.

I watch NHK World regularly. One of their programs, Japangle, ends every episode with the catchphrase "It means that Japanese people are so special." A datapoint to show why I made my statement.

And, speaking of what works in one country as opposed to others, I started watching Japanese news instead of American news years ago because of the calm delivery. I do read news from many other sources, but I don't listen to other TV news programs. My two cents on that is that American news goes for getting people emotional, and hearing it affects the ability to think rationally. Taking this pandemic seriously but not getting worked up enough that one loses the ability to be rational is something that would benefit us all.
I am taking a break from my snail simulation to work on an escalator simulation.
Ideas are incredibly cheap. Execution is hard as someone else pointed out. Beyond that, a random AI crapsoup of techonerdmangled words would give a pretty good "billion dollar idea":

AI ML crypto spaceship

Nano modular ML-based DNA aggregator

Crypto but actually is useful

And some of the most important ideas require the most boring execution:

- safe, clean toilets for the next billion

- all-display walls, e-paper that can act as lights too

- instead of self driving cars how about simple government intervention to provide sensors on roads for augmented-driving cars?

- continuous study of flu via most populated areas to predict flu vaccine 6 months from now (Bedford lab but super charged and automated)

- and finally, 5$ hospital saline solution

These seem stupid and naive but I believe they are some of the most important "ideas" and again without any execution plans.
Just taking on the vim custom keys thing: that was a problem of standardisation. That is why it did not scale. Nothing to do with mental models.
When I read that I was suddenly wondering if maybe they were appointed by Trump due to similar communication style.
Best of luck to you; we should remember to sync up in a few months to see how things went.
yeah but hang on... if you add to that factor that 70-90+ age brackets... how does that then add up?
Could you post an example challenge? Would these be technical or managerial?
On Android, I've been using Kiwi Browser [0]. It's Chrome but supports extensions from the webstore like desktop chrome, and has a dark mode toggle in the menu that applies custom CSS to webpages. Also has devtools, bottom navigation bar, and a setting to disable tab grouping.

Is it an eye opener that Open Source is in use by DoD?
The thing about these developmental conditions is that in theory there a lot of different treatment modalities that can be pursued at the embryonic level that could address these conditions (viral or non viral gene therapy, CRISPR based base deletions/insertions of the correct allele, etc.). However, once embryonic development has occurred and these conditions have manifested, it would be very difficult to alleviate them. Note that this is very different from something like sickle cell anemia. As a metaphor, think of the human body as a brick house. Using state of the art biotech to treat sickle cell anemia would be like trying to replace a leaky pipe hidden under concrete in the house. Yes it may be difficult but it is doable as it’s a fairy isolated issue. Trying to fix developmental diseases like KS would be like trying to replace every inch of the mortar in the brick house. It would be painstakingly difficult to do it right without the whole house collapsing. In summary, the tech you are referencing is basically limited to pre-developmental organisms, it needs decades or centuries to go before we may feasibly perform large scale genetic engineering that can undo post-developmental physiology.

Next, we have to understand that there are serious ethical considerations on treatments that target embryos. Biology is still very much a black box field. It is near impossible trying to factor in all the parameters in this problem space, especially when you are altering genes at a highly regulated stage of human development. Millions of model organisms like mice and non human primates are used to test therapies, but would we be willing to do the same to human embryos at such a large scale? I would hardly imagine an IRB approving research like this in my lifetime in the U.S.
Any public discussion forum that is susceptible to such attack is already drowned in spam.
Symfony components would be the better choice?
Did they change Laravel to only include what you want like Symfony?
Plus the basic SFC syntax which seems inspired by Svelte:

Home Depot is exactly the one that I wasn't able to use it at. I don't go there too often, though, so it's one of those things where I plan for it when I need to go now.
As mentioned in other comments, our expertise, data, and insights are based on North American hiring practices. European CVs differ in practice quite a bit - for one glaring example, the common presence of a photo of the user on the resume. Our system is not at all capable of handling that today.
Yes, it’s brought out as a negative because those companies are actively using that data to influence your behavior and serve you ads. Apple does not do this.
I wouldn't say illegal: as a producer, Discord obviously owns the platform, the rules seem sufficiently within the bounds of convention right now, and consumers are still free to choose.

The main problem I've seen with Discord is on the consumer end, in some cases: we've even had FOSS projects and advocates, of all people, moving away from FOSS and open standards, in the tools they use themselves, to embrace very non-open systems.

Some huge drawbacks to non-open systems have been understood for a few decades. And so there have been some industry collaborations on interoperation, some very hard-fought battles, some major human achievements of distributed cooperation to build great things... but then too often we just casually discard societal progress.
> Just don't step in and bail them when they break under their own weight

But there's a significant economic cost to society when large companies fail catastrophically like this. Which is why size matters. Large companies mean putting all of our economic eggs in one basket, which is exactly what systems like capitalism are supposed to avoid.
NLP seems easier to find the overlap of pay and good work.

NLP on medical texts for instance is a very lucrative space that has enormous value to end users and society

NLP for interpretation and foreign policy as well

NLP for legal discovery

NLP for education

These are all spaces where you are ability to contribute meaningfully is very high, and the training time is surprisingly low for utilities. Theory it becomes very high, fundamentals it becomes very high training times

In any sub industry you'll still have to avoid corporate chatbots or their equivalents
Right, but the question is what are these extra memcpys getting you then other than using up your CPU just to bounce bytes around?

And the answer is that there exists hardware today that can help restrict DMA access to main RAM, but take the form of base+bounds primitives rather than a full MMU. This appears to be in support of that.
I donated ~$300 to SciHub and encourage you all to donate as well. Please give what you can, her bitcoin address can be found at the bottom of the homepage.

Yes vans are a luxury! My first 'home' was a tent with no zipper and then a VW rabbit for a year and so when I got a '64 Ford Econoline it was my mcmansion! I find that having a home is stressful, like stuff owning is a huge responsibility because I see each item as hours of my life sacrificed from thinking and working on relationships.
I wanted to remove the second paragraph because it sounded unnecessarily harsh but I must be too late- I really enjoy his essays and I have taken a lot of advice from them.
This reminds me of a cooperative board game named Space Alert:

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/38453/space-alert

Players are crew members of a 6-room ship, equipped with weapons and generators supplying power (ammo) - all operated manually.

Each round consists of a planning and execution phase. During the former players listen to a pre-recorded track of incoming threats and declare their actions.

In the latter phase the threats start to arrive and the previously planned actions are executed.

The difficulty here is that the planning phase is timed, so the team has to communicate efficiently.

A single bad decision of a single player may doom the whole team, especially that players can and will get in the way of each other.

I remember doing just that - instead of going to the generator, spending a unit of fuel to charge it and distributing power to the turrets I picked the wrong decision card which moved me back from where I started, so my pawn was pressing the right buttons, but in the wrong room.

To make matters worse on my way back I got in the way of my teammate(and informal captain) and prevented him from recharging the generator later, which was important, because our turretwoman was supposed to be firing all the time.

The aliens destroyed that part of the ship killing her and leaving us defenseless.
How did TV and paper press existed? Non-targeted advertising brings €€€ too.
I’ve been immersed in C++ at the office for over a year. It is a big language, but like all big languages one ends up finding the parts of it they need to use and get really good at it.

The more languages I learn, the more I dislike language zealots. They’re great to leverage when learning, but they’re blinded by their own opinions to see that they’re making mountains out molehills.
You act as this is a heavy lift.
> In the real world there is physical danger and real significant consequences to making a mistake. A mistake can end your life. In a game you just lose.

Games can also get immersive and your adrenaline pumping. Now I'm not a racing pilot, and have very little track experience, but I know a few people who have, and have a nice setup for iracing at home, which according to them allows them to hone their reaction speed and try out moves and train moves. Yes you remove the physical part, but you do get immersed in the situation.

Point in case, Max Verstappen trained a specific overtake move on the Spa circuit at the Blanchimont corner on iracing with his teammates there [1]. And then he pulled off exactly that same move in a real race [2], which was one ballsy move to pull off irl.

But it's a very good example of the sims allowing them to fail without much risk gives them the possibility to experiment at will, and at least partially train their brains to handle such a situation.

> Why should people do the right thing when they feel they have nothing in common with their fellow countrymen?

.. why would that ever be a condition for doing the right thing? What does having a shared culture have to do with having humanity?
The 1099 versus W-2 gambit is dangerous. He could, in principle, claw back the entirety of the 1099 payments, including whatever you paid on as taxes, then adjust them to a W-2 and pay you back less W-2 taxes. You'd then have to wait until the next tax cycle to get a government refund on the 1099 taxes. Retroactive reclassification of money is a dangerous game unless you have big cash reserves and lawyers of steel.

The IP gambit is potentially career ending. All he has to do is take out a press release that insinuates you may have destroyed his business with lawyers out of purest spite. That press release will hang around on background checks forever.

If you need leverage, go after unemployment insurance. If you were watching the clock, then he should have been paying unemployment insurance on your behalf. The state unemployment bureaucrats are remarkably bitchy and tenacious about it, but the worst case expenses to the company are not enough to start a legal war over. They are, however, enough to get the attention of a paranoid tightwad.
Isn't CSS3 supposed to fix that or at least give us another option? I should have specified that I was referring to CSS3.
Conventional CSS
The fun is in the parts when you get to be creative.

There's plenty of boilerplate, repetitive, coding work out there. Sometimes, though, you get to wrap yourself around a juicy requirement and solve it, or add extra functionality that no-one asked for but someone will notice one day.

Same with writing - doing the same old client proposal for the 50th time is no fun, but writing a fun new blog post about an awesome discovery can be great. Same with lots of work, I guess.

There are two times when I really love coding - when a user expresses pleasure at using the software, and when a fellow coder expresses pleasure at fixing my stuff. If you build it right, it works on so many levels.

I wish I got to code more, and I dismay constantly at the idea that coding is something to be passed out to the lowest bidder.

So much time spent in meetings, an hour with 10 people discussing how a feature should work, when I know I could have just coded it up in that hour and they would have just said "Yeah, like that".

Coding is engineering, but in an accelerated form. Improve the performance of an engine by 10%, something the user could notice instantly? Hard work, big dollars, lots of resources, hard to deploy to many users. Improve the performance of an application by 10%? You might do it by yourself in 30 minutes. Lots of fun.
Mobile pricing was coming down, etc. until the Sprint/Nextel merger. After that rates went up, plans got stingier, etc.

I don't understand why anyone would sign up for a 450 minute plan. Wouldn't every minute of phone usage be stress-inducing since the next minute might be billed at $0.45 ?

I also don't know why mobile companies don't automatically switch customers to the plan that would have been cheapest in a given month before sending the bill.
I think you are taking his words too literally. It is just an additional hint he looks at when evaluating a company.
Sounds like you have an excellent understanding of the industry! I was in that culture in my early 20's. The games industry relies on a continuous flow of starry eyed fresh meet coming out of school to feed the gaping maw. Management is almost always the "older" guy in his mid-25's who's completely incompetent and out of his league.[1]

I have two pieces of advice for you.
A) If you like games, do simple fun indie games (world of goo, bejeweled, uplink, etc). These will make you happier and richer than working in the salt mines.

B) Find some semi-programming business to go into. My first love was airplanes. I absolutely adore them. So I combined that with my love of technology. I get a good mix of different disciplines which keeps me sane.

Good luck in your future endeavours, it sounds like you'll do well.

1. And remember, if you aren't working 12 hours a day you're not hardcore/part of the team/committed!
You're aware of the established social web browser named Flock, right?
Have you looked into shipping it with insurance? This may be a problem that's easier to pay a specialist to deal with.
I'd hire a programmer with c++ experience long before I'd hire a ruby or python programmer. It's easier to stop them from using their bad c++ habits than it is to skill up a ruby or python programmer in basic cs/architecture.
Doesn't this only works if an election has two possible outcomes? Revotes and voids are possible as well in most cases. In 2022 these things somehow feel like they're much more likely than before...
People who like tiling window managers are the sort of people who think every year will be the year of Linux on the desktop for the last 3 decades, i.e., nerds, so I don't know how much their taste can be trusted.

These are mostly systems they've come up with themselves rather than UI researchers actually studying it. Research finds things like that keyboard shortcuts aren't actually faster than mousing, people just experience them as faster because they take more focus.
Both of those are certainly wrong.

The intelligence services are rogue in the sense they violate our rights, lie to Congress without punishment, and have zero effective oversight. Common people don't control the intelligence services, the legislative branch doesn't, the executive branch doesn't (unless Trump's plan was to make himself look bad), and the intelligence services have their own secret courts. There is no sense in which they aren't rogue. They don't even explain how they spend their budgets

They also have the power to take out a democratically elected president. For instance, they could've published the information they had linking Trump to Putin. They could've convinced the House and the Senate to impeach or Trump's cabinet to remove him.

The intelligence services are a perfect example of the unbelievable malfunction of our government. They are evil, in the sense of being torturers and murders who violate American rights and ignore the law. They are incompetent in the sense that they fail in spectacular and embarrassing ways even against adversaries that they outmatch on paper.
I believe the quality and design of software has an influence on people's level of productivity and experience at their job. If I had a preponderance of evidence that this is false, I would conclude that UX design and much of software engineering was pointless. I would then change careers. Assuming you agree with my belief, I suggest you ask yourself which experience would you rather choose:

A. For 2-3 years, you regularly spend 40+ hours a week feeling bitter and angry about the tools you use and the resulting social environment you are immersed in.

B. For 2-3 weeks you spend 5-15 minutes a week embarrassed because a few strangers think you are petty.
Also, is that 500,000 data points per month or overall?
I always assume that if I have to ask for pricing then I can't afford it.
Encrypt filesystem. While technically they could monitor RAM traffic or even CPU instructions, I would be extremely impressed if they have necessary tools to spy on tor nodes.
I've ended up using the www.ircCloud.com service as my bouncer. It gives lovely native mobile apps with proper push and has a much nicer/more usable interface than any other solution I was capable of rigging up myself.
Don't confuse rock star developers with people being assholes. If your arrogant attitude turned off your coworkers, then when you stop being arrogant the situation should improve. If your coworkers are assholes it will not.
There are people out there who will thrive in situations like this. I am not one of them. I have spent time in jobs with assholes like this and the time and money was never worth it.
I think that's backwards from the usual definition of "extrovert". I don't like making small-talk with relative strangers, whether that's the store clerk, someone waiting for the same train, or what have you. So I love living in a big city.
Racket also defaults to immutable cons and you have to require set-car! and friends. But I agree, most Lisps do not impose/favor immutability
Compared to Meercat, there's a better UI, more ways to explore users to find new content and not as much of a blank slate for new users. After using each less than 5 times, I sort of prefer periscope.
So 1 is not a feature, 4 & 5 are the same thing (and maybe a consequence of 3) while 2 can be remplaced by a single function.

Seems like the only new feature are type hints. Looks like Hack has been rebranded as PHP 7.
On 2, I feel like I know enough to get by, but can't really level up and do larger stuff. I make features and fix bugs and most of the time they stick (who knows down the road though!), but I'm in a similar situation as OP but feel like my language knowledge is just behind and my job doesn't feel like a source of learning. Is this ultimately my responsibility or do I just need a mentor to break through?
Couldn't have said it better myself. There is nothing to be gained from elitist attitudes. Sounds to me like they want to hoard their own job security.

On top of all that, the "every man for themselves" mentality is a way to make sure that developers look out for themselves instead of the company as a whole. This is of no benefit to the company, and the leadership should recognize this and act accordingly.

What good can come from behavior that ensures other teammates don't improve at the rates they should be?

I heard a quote recently:

"What if we teach them everything and they leave?"
"What if we don't, and they stay?"
You're thinking in the wrong direction. WINE can let Linux users run Windows binaries, but then as a programmer you need to write Windows-y C. What makes this appealing to me is that as a Windows user I can write UNIX-y C and it will just work.

Obviously Windows could also be supported by recompiling under Cygwin, or MSYS2, but those tools are challenging. Compiling code designed for a UNIX on Windows is a pain in the ass, and sometimes the end result has strange behaviors. Upstream projects tend not to care much about Windows support, so trying to fix it you're on your own.

Nowadays we have WSL so we can just run Linux binaries on Windows as-is, but that's still a fairly heavyweight solution.

Wouldn't it be better to just compile once on UNIX, link to a magical portability library, and now you have a binary that just works everywhere? I think so.
I don't quite get your usecase, but you may be looking for their "exit node" feature which just landed in the CLI (yet to be supported across their UIs)?

It has been some time since reading it, but hot air balloons are much more prone to accidents than airplanes. So much can go wrong where modern aircraft are designed to lessen these sorts of things. We just sensationalize plane crashes - because they are horror-inducing spectacles - and don't really hear about the balloon incidences that hurt 3 people instead of 200.
No, history is not transferred to "new" devices.
It was a blanket ban on all VPNs.

Their exact statement said: "We are writing to notify that your application will be removed from the China App Store because it includes content that is illegal in China..."
Tesla is famous for using off the shelf parts.
INTJ and INTP are basically the "coolest" introvert result of the Myers-Briggs. For a supposedly rare result, it's one of the most trumpeted online and one with which people identify the strongest. The description of the result is essentially what those introverted readers imagine themselves to be when reading rationalist literature.
Would these binaries work on Apple Silicon? It seems like no, since it isn't x86? What are the limits to the portability, and is there a path past those limits?
For those that don't know, staking is a dedicated computer + 32 ETH in escrow, then you get your ETH back + 1/2 ETH payment at the end of the month but fewer if you were offline including possibly losing some of your escrowed ETH.
