I don't think Apple will ever give up their IPv4 block unless forced by legal means of some sort. They use the massive IPv4 block internally if I recall correctly.

I could see most others doing it though.
I have two Linux laptops and I use the web versions, which are surprisingly good.
Yes. OnlyOffice. There's a community edition. https://www.onlyoffice.com/download.aspx
gnumeric is great for simple tabulated data as far as simple charts etc, but the advanced features that spreadsheet lovers use aren't available.
I agree with the critique of trucks. Most of the time there's no need for it, but they are indeed fun to drive as he points out. It's totally fair to take them to task.

I will take issue with one thing, though. Can someone tell me why it's okay for Berk to post incendiary comments about things like "cowpoke union suits", "Butch Drag", and otherwise basically insulting the masculinity and culture of anyone who dares to drive one?

It would be one thing if this was Berk's own culture, but he's a gay Jewish uncle from New York (by his own admission!), and this basically reads like typical cityslicker holier-than-thou smuggery. As if we didn't have enough of that kind of divisive content already.
I got a 1tb SSD. I remember a time when 250mb Zip Drives were the stuff of science fiction, or when I thought they'd never top the 128mb storage on my first digital camera.

Incredible how cheap storage is now.
Wait till you cross the ditch to New Zealand, our materials costs are through the roof...
This reads like science fiction, even unto the name, Trans Time.
> Lastly on the way to a conference room on the second floor I walked a fair amount through the office and what was notable to me was that I didn't see anybody smiling or even anyone who looked like they might be enjoying what they are doing

Please don't ever make this assumption. I referred an acquaintance from school to my workplace (he was a great project partner, and I was the first of us to get hired after graduation, so why not?), and apparently when he passed through everyone was just... doing work. That was a telltale sign that everyone was grumpy to him.

I had to explain that we basically don't work at all on Friday afternoons because we're too busy drinking, we play pingpong religiously, frequent out of office events on the weekends, and in general it's just an enjoyable crowd. Random conversations happen all the time.

But nope, that one time he came through the office, everyone looked unhappy. Because they were working, I guess.
We can't offer public assistance to poor children because it creates "welfare queens", which is a stereotype that whites have about blacks that they are lazy and will cheat.

Do you have evidence that public assistance is being withheld?

If anything, people aren't taking advantage of public assistance available. I remember reading that Medicaid (health insurance for the poor) was only used by half of the people eligible.
based on my experience with bpg compression of 39 megapixel image takes 2s with jpeg turbo (the original is a raw tiff but already cached). same image bpg is 8m30s. this is on an ivy bridge xeon. i was wanting to smash a few hundred thousand of these 39mp images for transport and backup storage but unacceptible time wise. how much faster would daala be than hvec?
> But conveniently almost all of that abstracts out to: "persevere with boring and challenging tasks to obtain reward", which is a great lesson.

And thereby perpetuating our current way of life. What a fucking waste of potential imho.
The only points she makes are based on unfounded assumptions. She has no argument to attack. There is nothing to debate logically.

She would be making the appeal to authority, except she doesn't even bother to do that. She just appeals to common sense ("you don't have to be an economist to... etc").

Edit: perhaps I should say any of her good points are overshadowed by (and mostly unrelated to) the blatant exaggerations and generalisations.
Then it sounds like you would want to learn about the runtime from this:

Funny thing is no one asked you. Obviously, you would only do this on the internet, try "calling it as you see it" in real life, see what happens.
Start by killing all the lawyers. Grade quality, cheating, and instructional quality have all been degraded by litigious students and parents. Caught cheating? Bad grade? Don’t like the faculty? Can’t collaborate with your project group? Universities are under constant assault by undisciplined, immature, lazy students who attack the University system in order to obtain a degree. In the end, the colleges find it easier to pass the cost of failures onto society than fight. I can’t say I blame them.
Blasphemy! Blasphemy I say!
"... get a trusted developer you know to give you an opinion on it"

That's the only way I can see it working. I also suggest in looking around for a test you can hand them, i.e. the FizzBuzz test. If their answer looks the same as your answer they're competent.

I like the anon comment that they should not re-invent the wheel so much. That gave me a chuckle, I'll just use my off the shelf distributed web app deployment software that runs on thousands of machines ... oh snap!
And those graduates are the ones who didn't get their money's worth, can't find decent work, and are largely pissed off at their plight. Now, whose fault is that? I say it's the kid just as much (or more) as it is the institution. There are plenty of people who put it the effort and are entirely satisfied with their education.

While these certainly exist, you would need to know what your doing to not need to do much.

And almost impossible to be remote.
It's a matter of who controls the logistics. Until governments figure out how to enforce toll roads in space, mars can be completely privatized.

By the time the government is able to assert force on mars, it may already be owned completely by companies.

Read a few books, recycle stuff you find online, do a presentation on neurodiversity. It really is money for old rope. I knew of one who worked in a UK gov department who got £1250 a day, charged for 5 days, and only turned up for 4.5. Did it for years.

The value of Bitcoin doesn't lie in how many transactions it can do per second, nor the cost per transaction.
>>All things considered, data breaches are rare

Data breaches are not the only consideration. There's not many things more important to a business than their data and putting that entirely in a 3rd party's hands at a remote location only is very risky and could be catastrophic.

It's one thing to send a copy of a blueprint of a product design to China to have it manufactured and quite another to send them your only copy of it.
As a start up, the only way to "profit" is "product-fit". Our responsibility is to land you there in one piece!
But that 49% is constantly being victimized by big tech. Politics aside, there's money to be made targeting products to this group. (For a company with competent devs ofc, don't need another Parler disaster.)
I did that as soon as it was offered back as an option. As I said, that wasn't the problem on its own, that felt like more of a symptom of the bigger problem that Twitter decided it was all about engagement and decided they wanted to inject whatever they wanted where ever they wanted into a timeline. The last time I tried to scroll through my Twitter feed in scrolling through 25 items every (!) fifth one was a mostly toxic "engagement trolling" or clickbait Promoted tweet from someone that I would never follow.
I think it be both at the same time.

People make weird career choices for the perception of prestige or being able to call themselves part of a team. I got a friend who is an Agricultural Mechanic who works for some local owned companies. A few years ago John Deere built a facility nearby and you'd be surprised how many mechanics, who by all accounts liked their jobs, moved to work for John Deere for less pay, less benefits.

Video games aren't that much different. People will harm their own career goals thinking they can work for a brand name when an unknown company might have a better fit. I'm sure they have valid reasons for making the decisions they do, but from the outside looking in, it just looks like fanboyisms.
Blender already has a pretty advanced sculpting system? And it integrates with everything else for retopo and such. I don't really do sculpting so I don't know exactly how it stacks up against ZBrush, but I know it's going for the exact same use-case and I believe it's well-regarded
Looks like the same concept as the BlueAir 211+ but way cheaper! Unfortunately, for me, it needs to look somewhat nice.
I really appreciate the suggestions. They are very insightful and I'll make sure I discuss them all with the team - thank you so much.

In practice, a project needs funding. They create an Initiative on our platform with a product roadmap and outline of what they are going to do (maintenance or a new feature). Companies/individuals that use the project go to the website and provide funding. A contract is formed by the OpenPartner (similar to a general contractor) whereby the project only gets the money once certain requirements are fulfilled. The OpenPartner hires contributors to work on the project and those contributors get to work and are paid as they provide deliverables. Everyone then gets to use the updated software.

We will be working on our messaging so thank you for the feedback.
Making DSLs in Swift is surprisingly easy, as this shows, but a brief word of warning: if you overdo it, your API, while pretty at the use-site, can end up being hard to actually use–you'll create what's essentially a read-only language. SwiftUI has taken this style of design to about as far as it's possible to go, and while it's pleasant to read it has a number of pains with regards to API discoverability. Plus the compiler absolutely hates everything about it :(
If you have moral objections but still believe that the company can address them, why would you quit rather than try to change things from within?
There are 2 points here
1. The visibility of the activity. I have no experience with google calendar at this level but the normal from my perspective would be that only free/busy information is by default available. If the company wants every info to be available then it might be that the employees were not adequately informed about this in order either to not enter private info in their calendar or mark them explicitly as private

2. The fact that this kind of information made it outside of the company. I believe this is the consequence of making such info available to all and in a company with so many thousand employees like it or not there are some bad apples that will take advantage of everything
That would just make it harder for attractive guys who primarily message women in their own league, which could actually result in a worse experience for women.
JWT is just some arbitrary JSON data, with a few customary fields, cryptographically signed by whichever system issued it. You send it to the client, which may be a browser or mobile app or whatever, and they send it with each request to any related systems. A system receiving a JWT can verify that the stuff in it was certified as true or accurate by the issuing system, given only the correct keys to check the signature and no further info about the user. One might, for example, put user identity info & user roles (for permissions) in a JWT.

This can be useful for e.g. checking login status at proxy or cache servers without having them connect to a database or ask other systems (so, works very fast), for microservice bullshit, or for systems with lots of access points and unified login (think Google, with Youtube, Gmail, Docs, and so on—I don't think they use them, but that's the sort of situation in which one might)

The main downside is that you can do stupid crap with them like not set an expiration, and you can't really expire tokens prematurely (say, on user role changes or on user deletion) without re-introducing some centralization. Neither are crippling but they do make it less the magic bullet than one might hope.
That sounds like a pretty typical urban/rural, economically-productive/less-so distinction. In England that happens to line up somewhat along the N/S axis
Survivorship bias is anyone who has had success at a task, regardless of how long it took. The lottery winner who played every week for 40 years will tell you buying a ticket every week is the secret to success at winning, irrespective of the millions of people who do that and never win.

So the grandparent comment did use the term correctly. Unless they were responding to someone who never “won” at the dating game.

The ultimate statistical issue is about the outcome of a task biasing the incentive for testifying about the task. It’s usually winners who are more prone to speak to their approach to the problem than losers, so we don’t know if the winning solution is representative of success or an aberration from the norm.

Do you think the adoption of IPv6 would lead ISPs to drop their ban on running servers from non-business accounts?
In that case, please make a free host, I will be your most ardent supporter.
The desire to own and control is what led us to where we are.

Not really a bug more than an outdated browser not being updated for HTML 5.

In HTML 4, <a href="..."><div>...</div></a> is an error and Lynx deals with this by implicitly closing the <a>, turning it into a hidden link (which can still be followed by pressing 'l').

In HTML 5, <a href="..."><div>...</div></a> is valid.
There are other areas like this, too. I'm part of a firm that does grant writing for nonprofits, public agencies, and some research-based businesses (http://www.seliger.com for the curious). Word and Excel are standard, especially for any documents that may touch governments. All narratives are written in Word and budgets in Excel.

I like and approve of LibreOffice but it doesn't seamlessly transfer complex styles or tracked changes to and from Word. When an organization is working with people who bill in the hundreds of dollars per hour and a grant in the hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, cost of MS Office is a non-issue. I approve of and generally support OSS (I'm writing this in Firefox), but the level of integration into the MSO world is ill-understood.

I've also written novels and the whole publishing industry and infrastructure is based around Word.
> Best part about JWTs?

Just to be clear, JWT do support expiration time and nonces.

For implementations to be vulnerable, they need to intentionally avoid standard security practices.

The tool isn't the one to blame.
This is quite an indictment of the inefficiencies of EU regulations in general.
It's the same kind of fascination that gets people to work on bio-weapons and other singularly negative items.

I'm a bit less cynical than you by the looks of it and I definitely do not believe in the 'obsolescence of privacy', in fact I think that privacy is one of the most important rights that we have.

Appreciating what the NSA is capable of technologically whilst at the same time despising them for what they do to the world at large is entirely possible.

To me it is very clear that all these politicians and their plans would go nowhere without enablers.
Tiny nitpick: CP/M had a fixed, two-level hierarchy with 16 different areas of the disk, accessible via the "user" command.

Somebody has invented a more conventional-looking syntax for Lisp every couple years since John McCarthy first suggested M-expressions. Nobody[0] has ever cared enough to use any of them.

People who "get" Lisp get over any aversion to the syntax, and usually even come to appreciate it. People who can't get over the syntax never actually get Lisp.

As far as I'm aware, pretending that your dog is a service animal when it is not is a fairly serious crime. In CA, it's up to a $1,000 fine and up to 6 months in jail. I don't know of anyone that has done that.

Emotional Support Animals are different, and rampant, but they don't have nearly the same protections under the law. ESA's are not covered by the ADA, for example.
Google has ZERO incentive for the python ecosystem to flourish. Remember the breaking 3.0 change came when Guido was an employee there, and go was starting to get mainstream traction.

I agree with the embrace-extinguish crowd. The strategy will be to introduce a huge breaking change in the next release.

This is a corporation. They don't do things for free. What started out as a "free" browser turned into a vehicle to capture a monopoly on internet video. What makes you think they dont have a long term plan to profit from python?

The author is Valentina Zharkov https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/our-staff/z/professor... .
She has a record of predicting coming "Ice ages". Here a 2015 article about her by a German climate sceptic tracker https://klima-luegendetektor.de/tag/valentina-zharkova/ (literally climate lie detector). According to their opinion, her research is fine, in that it predicts 10x effects of potential cooling of what is expected by consensus.

IFL has pop-sci piece that explains some criticisms of this paper https://www.iflscience.com/environment/mini-ice-age-hoopla-g... .
Being a bit cynical about most things I think this could well be the worst possible news if it's true. Rather than giving us some breathing room to put climate change mitigations in place it'll likely lead to governments delaying doing anything. Humans are terrible at doing things to protect our long term interests. Taking the imperative away will lead to complacency. In 2053 when the solar warming cycle starts again things will be much, much worse.

Some days I'm very glad I chose not to have kids.
My take. You have a 30% success rate landing an onsite interview. That is actually really good. You have had 9 technical interviews with 2 rejections and 2 on sites and I assume 5 pending? So your on site is probably enriched > 30% even though it stands at 22% now.. My guess is that if you need to do anything then maybe you just have to practice your onsite interview skills. Maybe some of these are technical e.g. whiteboard problem solving or something else.

Remember the goal here is to get through this with a job offer at the end. You only need 1 offer. Also remember this is as much about the company as it is about you. The companies/groups you have not had success with might be a total mess.

Another thing to do is, if you have an opportunity, is to ask a lot of questions about the interviewer in a social, friendly way. Be genuinely curious about others. People love more than anything to talk about themselves.

Also Apple and even Google have noted that their best individual performers tend to be self-taught. I think that means that if you have the skills and interest to learn programming you tend to be pretty good at programming.
I just switched back, quite a lot of my searches are regional and DDG sucks for that (in the UK).
I suggest a shortcut:

"SQL > Transform Data > Insights > Decision"

I don't think you need Excel, you can do whatever you need in SQL: pivots, medians, averages, aggregates and transformations of all kinds. In terms of speed and flexibility, you should be able to shame all those "Excel experts". After all, that Excel data probably came from a database to begin with.
It works fine on Windows and Linux. Apple didn't even ship a computer with a replaceable GPU for 6 years.

Nvidia spent money building the superior SDK and that's why CUDA is an important piece of infrastructure. Apple half heatedly supported OpenCL, then killed it, then pushed Metal and all this time didn't ship a computer that could even take advantage of this power.

Closed tech is bad but Apple killed off the only real open competitor and replaced it with something even more closed.
I've often thought along these same lines (c.f. Asimov's Galaxia concept) but I think that this one-ness will inherently be limited by distance. Thoughts can be propagated across a planet pretty quickly but if we become a multi-planet civilization I would expect each planet to have it's own "one mind" (or whatever you want to call it) simply because of communication latency.
No problems with DDG on tech topics unless it’s a somewhat rare error message.
Capitalism proper only exists for a few centuries.
That's not the point. The point is it's not built it, because the architecture decisions were unsound.

Now, don't get me wrong, I use and like Wordpress. There is not more versatile yet approachable blog/CMS/whatever out there, the ecosystem is huge and it's my go to tool when I want a quick and dirty solution.

But it doesn't change the fact it has been badly designed from the start.

Popularity in software doesn't reward good design. It rewards solving problems.
Pretty much all cryptocurrencies depend on the promise that early adopters will get in cheap and make a ton of money once it takes off. Get in quick, don't be a sucker! FooCoin is going up uP UP! Now that you're in, convince your friends to buy FooCoin too, and talk it up online--that way demand will increase!
This is true for me, but I don't think it is true for the majority of mechanical keyboard fans. I do however wish it was easier to output PS/2 with custom firmware like QMK used in this post. I've even hoarded some PS/2 cables for when that day finally comes.
Check out rTMS (repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation). Brain stimulation has come a long way.
I've noticed that (almost?) any talk about any editor in the last few years: emacs, vim, sublime, atom etc always brings up how good VS Code is.

It's a huge endorsement of VS code.
> the govt mandated employers must still pay salaries while [the workers are] in quarantine. As a reaction, some employers are requiring workers to make up this pay once they come back... effectively a loan.

So how are the workers going to pay it back? I presume it's going to be a pay cut for the next n months until it's all made up for. While that's better than not getting paid at all, the unexpected pay cut might be problematic for households that live paycheck to paycheck (not sure how prevalent that is in china), and for the consumer economy. Also, are what happens if the employee simply quits? Are those debts legal debts?
