Thanks for the feedback and for checking out the site!

We are considering expanding the reference column to have more options, including population and CBSA (core-based statistical area). This would also align with some of the aggregate data available from the EEOC. For example, companies could be compared against the "New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA Metropolitan Statistical Area".

This is what i was wondering that wasn't explained in the article... does UE offer some guardrails for working with c++ that make the jump from C# an easier decision?
I'm not. This would not be the first time ISPs have lied to consumers about their service. https://stopthecap.com/
Flash games are static content (except for high scores). A Flash game is just a SWF file, typically a couple MB (or KB!).

If you'd like to experience the games that were available on Miniclip back in the day, your best bet is FlashPoint, a big offline archive of Flash games (ships with integrated FlashPlayer and a nice UI to search for games).

Exactly. Yet and for example, Zig and Nim articles are posted at will without issue. Recently, Zig related ones have been very numerous, as if people had invested stock into it. In contrast, Vlang related ones often get flagged for unknown reasons. Quite strange. Where is the fairness?
Sends me back to Ken Thompson's paper, Reflections on Trusting Trust, from 1984.
Twitter has a lot in common with writing poetry. I think it can be a good practice, depending on one’s goals. But I agree with your general point about reading a lot. I think it’s important to read a lot of different styles/genres: fiction, academic writing, journalism, old stuff, new stuff, translations, great literature in various languages, ad copy, so on. Most good writing is about conforming/mimicry and being especially considerate of the reader. Exceptional writing is a different thing. A lot of bad writing comes from regular people trying to write exceptionally. It’s hard to learn to write dumber, but thankfully the internet lets us all practice a bunch. Whether we like it or not, most people prefer Stephen king to Henry James or Proust.
This legislation already exists. Predatory underpricing has been a known problem for century, and is already built into antitrust laws.

The thing is that it's not generally illegal in its own right - it just forms a component of a potential antitrust case case which could result in the breakup of a company in conjunction with other anti-competitive or monopolistic behaviour.

But the precedent is there. A company destroying its competition by operating at a loss and surviving entirely by virtue of external capital injection surely falls at the very least under the spirit if not the letter of antitrust laws.
Not just inventions in radio. Pretty much all electronics nowadays are at least unintentional radiators.
Too little too late. You're already dead for me.
I'd love to see an article from the crackers in question, Paradox, that talks about how they bypassed the protection. I am aware this is from 2001, and it seems Paradox have been pretty much inactive since the hyped Windows Vista crack.
Microsoft famously canned their entire group of people who do testing (SDETs). If the problem you hit isn't caught by an automated test at build, Microsoft employees running it in some form of "dogfood," or the people running beta builds, it is getting shipped.

Maybe that's good enough. Maybe people are getting used to software coming out with multiple updates per quarter to fix some "random glitch."

I look at it as the computing industry getting away from the roles and pace that made computers reliable instead of just functional. We used to have Operations staff to keep a service reliable; we used to have Testing staff to make sure a code base was reliable. They had their own failings, but to cut them out entirely did wonders for stock prices and not much for the end user experience.

But maybe being able to launch a pre-VC startup with one person and a stack of cloud services is a better trade-off.
To help answer your question, imagine asking a five year old to fill out paperwork without the help of adults.
OECD's PISA office[0] found that large, college-style lecture hall sized classes were optimal for teaching large numbers of students. They used this factor to explain South Korea's better educational outcomes than the United States'. South Korean high schools typically have large class sizes and evaluate performance based on regular standardized testing, whereas American schools typically try to always make class sizes smaller and use subject grading criteria.

It is interesting to try to think all the way back to the struggles of initially learning and wonder if things that seem difficult now (Haskell, which I know barely anything about) might have made more sense then. I often wonder this about TCL, which looks very weird compared to most languages but is really easy to learn if you remember the "12 rules": https://tcl.tk/man/tcl8.6/TclCmd/Tcl.htm
In addition to SEUs (single event upsets) which are bit flips, there are also the following Single Event Effects (See) that are destructive:

- Single Event Burnout, SEB

- Single Event Gate Rupture, SEGR

- Single Event Latch-up, SEL these can be recoverable

In addition there are also Total Ionizing Dose (TID) Effects

Our staging environment is down because something went wrong with Flynn a week or two ago and there is absolutely no information on how to debug it.

I'm happy they marked is as unmaintained because I got the impression it wasn't all that well maintained for last few years - can't remember why anymore, but something to do with having to use master branch otherwise the package was 3 years old in ubuntu main repository...

I guess we'll be moving staging to k8s without hesitation now.

It was decent and served the purpose for our staging environment. Rip.
You need to verify the history as well and continually update the UTXO set. That takes a lot more time, especially with a spinning hard disk, since the UTXO updates are not particularly sequential.
Add to the list, screen sharing became very very spotty and no longer works on a headless Mac without first waking it up and restarting the screen share process. There’s no way they actually qa’d this.

Another fun one, refresh rates will sometimes go back to 60 but the drop down shows the higher rate and only fixes once you toggle. Never had this happen before Big Sur.
"Aggregate value" is an interesting way to measure performance, and makes it easier for him to be right than it looks at face value. On the face of it it looks like he's saying their value will increase by 2x or 3x, but what about capital raisings? Capital raised will still count in aggregate value, but doesn't provide direct value for shareholders.

For example, one way for a company to go from a $1bn value to a $2bn value is to raise $3bn and then fall by 50%

It seems like even among startups and small businesses that are reasonably well-run (meaning decent process, and developers aren't overworked because of management failure), it's very hard to compete with the benefits and compensation that a larger company can offer.

And is it really news that many companies are poorly run by clueless douchebags with MBAs? Surely this is just as true at larger companies as it is with startups. Larger companies are just better at covering it up.
This is something simple that everyone can do to help others out. It takes no effort, so I hope anyone that uses Chrome will install this.
And he (antirez) just said:

"oops, just found a bug on RC1 (setbit/getbit) I guess it's going to be RC2 soon ;)"
Programming and Graphic Design are opposites. Logic, reason and lots of self-discipline makes for good programmers. Art on the other hand is grounded in emotion and perception.

If you think there aren't "rules" to graphic design that are typically followed, you're fooling yourself. Just like there are times when the best answer to something in programming isn't necessarily the intuitive or logical answer.
About the startup part, let me elaborate. I hope my experience of learning design, or at least trying to learn design, will help me with my taste and knowledge in design. For now, I cannot actually tell apart "good designs" from "bad designs". For example, sometimes I heard people saying things like "It's terrible they chose font X and color Y ..." but cannot see anything terrible in what they're talking about.
Supplying downloads is an easy-to-supply convenience, and it's a lot simpler to lose a digital file than a physical book. As a minor service comparison I can go to the store and get free adjustments for my glasses forever, but it's still a goods purchase.
I agree that the details are irrelevant to the legality of backing out on an auction. This story is compelling (and thus upvoted) precisely because of the emotional levers it pulls. The thread can't be solely about eBay policy.
A fantasy book with good prose and better story than 'the book of the new sun' is 'the name of the wind'.
fascinating idea, we should trascend.. the alternative is death
It's also usually worth playing for a statemate when you're too far behind... the chances of it happening seem so slim that the opponent just goes into cruise control.
yes, but your 'rental store' can now be a warehouse in Mexico -- no need for expensive real-estate or US employees. As for putting the right DVD to play -- jukeboxes have been doing that since the '50s, it's not exactly impossible to automate.

Keeping the inventory is a problem. But you could probably play an in-demand DVD a dozen times over a weekend, while netflix or blockbuster could only rent it out once or twice.
This is almost as prone to failure as malloc/free, you still have to call functions by hand.
good point. i usually just display the pic, snap a screenshot and all metadata is gone. if it is scaled it obfuscates blurred things, too.
Usually it's easier to extract exact numbers from blured image.
The real issue here is not small time artists that want to make a living. Its not about millionaire actors or giant corps that cant afford a 5th house.

Its about freedom of information. The internet makes that possible. Information should be accessible to anyone, for free.

Copyright breaks that. It breaks the internet, and it causes a lot more problems than the one that was meant to fix.

With respect to copyright holders, if you dont want your work shared, internet is not a full proof solution, and (hopefully) will never be. It was designed for sharing.
Might be, I'm not sure about the history of the term, but that's what they're called now, anyway
While I don’t doubt that Tether was used to manipulate the Bitcoin price upwards, at the same time I believe Bitcoin Futures were/are being used to suppress the Bitcoin price as well.

That was ~accurate at the time; that period was more or less peak religious suppression in most of Europe.
This is long, and I suspect most of us have neither watched it nor read all the transcript; but from the parts of the transcript I have skimmed it seems to hit absolutely all the areas I would expect it to cover. Everything from evolutionary biology to memetics through colonialism, inequality, the epidemiology model for interventions, sports across cultural divides. I suspect most sentences are themselves summaries of a stack of investigations.

Stephen Pinker may get some flak for being a pop-science writer but this seems extremely thorough. It would be nice not to use this article as a platform for exercising our pre-existing prejudices.
That's my point, the target is wrong. If you want to be a general dick online there are better ways to go about it.
If you by chance played all of the white keys only, it would sound "nice" because you are playing the C major scale.
Even then, I'm not sure they're that common. Most contractors/plumbers/movers/etc will have a Transit or something similar. There are a few, farms sometimes have them, but I would find it strange to see one parked outside someones house.
But you're implying that we can't make the aircraft smart enough to know that there is a fire and that cutting fuel is the right thing to do. I believe we can.
Hi, Tim from Realm here. We actually rely on a custom C++ core, which means we have to support each JavaScript engine separately. We completed support for JavaScriptCore first, which React Native uses on both iOS & Android. To support PhoneGap / Cordova we’d need to support V8, which will be close to as much work as supporting JSC in the first place. We’re looking forward to getting it done though! https://github.com/realm/realm-js/issues/261 Beyond that we were quite excited about the architectural decisions behind React Native and the emerging community around it, so we figured it’d be a good place to start that lined up very well with our own goals!
It is!

> You could say the same thing about web apps not needing fizzbuzz, but that wouldn't get you hired.

fizzbuzz is not great, but its also implemented as a stand alone webapp (or console app), not added to an existing codebase.

im not against incr/decr, my point is moving beyond these simple operators is pushing the product into feature bloat territory.
Oh yeah, correct. I get confused when mixing directions. I like to have both on classic
From the article: “Since there are unsolved cases of missing children and street shooting/harassment, we must monitor his/her exact location in order to keep them from these threats.”

The conclusion doesn’t follow from the premise. Monitoring somebody’s exact location does not shield them from ”going missing, street shooting/harassment”. At best it opens the chance to start a conversation about being in a certain location at a certain time. At worst it will show you where someone is while they’re being “shot/harassed”.

More importantly, this type of monitoring seems like a guaranteed way to destroy trust between parent and child, making impossible any theoretical conversations that could be had.

Once you remove the article’s thin justifications for this tech what’s left is, quite simply, spyware.
I use vimwiki to collect, store and organise snippets links and references, then sync it to all my machines with unison. Helps if you're a vim user!

Yes. It gives business owners ideas to leave.
Back in the 90s in a country that had just changed from communist to democracy, Stallman really looked like a cool guy, a Robin Hood kinda guy. Because you know what - the communist block actually encouraged piracy, and this free software thing was top of the pops. And the idea of free software, how its created, used, etc... is in a way (to me)... very social, perhaps even very communist by its nature.

Then the first photo I saw of Stallman made me wonder if perhaps he is some kind of Rainbow Gathering type of hippie. Well, fair enough - I appreciate the Rainbow Gathering myself, very liberating... but even there people know that free lunch does note exist.

So the general question about free software is who pays for it. Who pays for the development. It seems that unless it is paid for by governments or universities, the math does not add. Then there is this lack of distinction of what is core package, and business application. Certainly some parts of a larger project may be open-sourced, and even made free, but some can not.

So this generalization of "software" and "free" is at best very childish.

Now don't get me wrong, we've all used pirated software around here, and also used free software, shareware, all kinds of it. And now some tens of years later people also are still very confused about how open source differs from free software. And some of the Richard Stallman fans are even more confused, since one of the major open source supporters in recent years is the once-perceived-very-evil Microsoft...

The argument by some commenters here regarding the cloud lock-in is so valid. It is what we are facing as the biggest challenge - that we don't even see or touch the software that run the businesses anymore. Free or not. Is not on our premises.

And least but not last - I'm more interested in having open access to data created with free/open software and standards alike. What good is a government running free software, when its output is closed, not searchable, not accessible by reasonable APIs? I mean - who cares what CSV, DOCX, SHP, PSDs were created with, if they value 100x the software used?

After ~1 yr of experience with Angular, I have to say I fully agree. Debugging is a pain, for a start, and so is delving into the source code. Plus, it's incredibly complex and opinionated and still it leaves it really easy to slip into really poor practices and untestable code (observe the complexity and verbosity of this best practice guide: https://github.com/mgechev/angularjs-style-guide). The real deal breaker is, however, performance in complex pages.

I much prefer to write my own controllers and models and use Reactjs for the views.
I don't see your point. If someone wants to pay for watching something on 60 ft screen why not just pay the company that owns and operates 60 ft screen theater.

What's that have to do with copyright? Are the theaters subsidized by copyright? They surely have advertisements subsidized by copyright. Advertisements, that convince a lot of people, that don't actually care that much about 60 ft screen, that they do.

Most of the people who do stuff for the movie don't wait for the income from tickets dvd-s and whatevers. They get pay for the job they do when the do it and as little and as late as possible. They are paid with the money of some people who don't have a better idea what to do with their money than to invest in a movie. They pay up front and they trust that they'll get more back thanks to the whole byzantine system that has its foundation shaken by the advancement in technology. Same kind of advancement that allowed this behemoth to be created in the first place.

Propping up those foundations in manufactured morality is not healthy.

Not sure what's the parallel between my arguments and Robin Hood. Care to elaborate?
I really cannot take Kim Dae-Jung or his party or his successors seriously. They rose to power with the call for honoring human rights, which is noble. However, when it comes to the human rights abuses in NK, they are silent.

Very very weird to me.
Takes all sorts. I put in some time at an office where the team struggled immensely with Ember but found Angular much easier to pick up and produce results with.

The scaling thing is just one of the hurdles you have to manage in this framework. Every system has them. Once you learn where the limits are the tools exist to manage it:

https://www.exratione.com/2013/12/considering-speed-and-slow...

Like all frameworks, Angular isn't suited to every task. If you are rendering massive tables, to pick the obvious example, then you probably shouldn't be using any of the modern binding-based frameworks for that part of your application.
IIRC neovim exposes it via a socket which allows similar behavior.
It would make good political sense as well, as the conservative talking point is that hard work should be rewarded.
Coming up with large changes to test is a lot more based on inspiration and gaining new knowledge than the kind of stuff that I see people testing in AB tests in general. Sure you could test large changes too (and I have) but AB testing works best when comparing apples with better apples. The biggest problem in testing diverse possible solutions to a problem is that you probably will have to restate the metrics by which you evaluate your total offering (the 'fitness').

You could compare cars and horse drawn buggies on a hundred fronts or more and what is 'best' depends more on circumstance than on the defining elements of both solutions, they are too different to be compared meaningfully except for their general utility. In that case the market seems to be best at deciding what is better but how would you as a buggy manufacturer test your newly minted car against your buggies without an infrastructure to support your car?

It's not always that easy.
Maybe, but unless there was some kind of scandal around why it was being shut down, it'd have to be from PG...unless you quoted him:

"Surely you're not learning much by repeating JMC's flawed Ur-Lisp from 1959." No. Implementing an ur-lisp teaches you all kinds of things if you've never implemented a programming language before. It's a solid bite-sized project that's harming no one. Think I'll go write another one, maybe in Haskell this time.
which i think is true for flagging, which is more than just a downvote. make it more inconvenient for the thing that can kill a story or report spam.

but for just a downvote, which has the same but opposite effect as an upvote, placing it right below that upvote would be a good location.
I just bought a Kindle and noticed that Amazon sells subscriptions to blogs ($1-$2). If you can get your blog on that, it would be a great marketing/advertising platform, if not money maker.
That's desired behavior, although much more difficult in practice than it is in theory. If 20% of your network goes down and you can still serve clients normally, it means that you have a big reserve of machines useful only in case in big outages. I don't know if you can justify it economically.

You can also gracefully degrade performance, by rejecting client connections, disconnecting progressively some clients, accepting loss of consistency etc. It depends how far you can go without infuriating your customers.

We discovered that large-scale real-time systems(in our case, currently 400.000 concurrent connections) are really hard to stabilize against presence storms, network problems and buggy clients, among others.
Considering he listed just about everything I can remember about regexes without google, and nothing more, I believe I'm duty bound to upvote.
