Why would you bash someone for turning down a job offer?

The decision about where to work is very personal, and it includes a lot of factors that are hard enough to sort through when it's your own life and you have full information. Not everyone's going to be drawn to the most lucrative or most prestigious position.
I think we're all well aware that internet votes are not a particularly good way of deciding anything. This is why Hank, The Angry Drunken Dwarf was not in fact selected as Who Weekly's most beautiful person in... whatever year that was.

Seriously though, you reckon Lady Gaga and the Chilean Miners are more man-of-the-year material than Zuckerberg? One is a random pop star, the other is a feel-good story which nobody will remember in 2012.

It's true that Zuckerberg's impact may have been more in 2008 or 2009 than 2010, but since he wasn't honoured in either of those years I think he's a fair choice this year.
Yes. They're not the first company to shut down on getting bought.
> Theo de Raadt comes across entirely reasonable

That is what you experience when you agree with him. Try to disagree and argue with him someday.
I do not disagree on any point.
Must be great to be in a place where getting meetings with 40 interested angels is not some kind of impossible fantasy!
> However, `g_s` violates ODR because despite that there’s only one definition of it, there are still multiple declarations which are different because there are two different lambdas in a.cpp and b.cpp, thus, S has different non-type template argument.

Doesn't https://eel.is/c++draft/basic.def.odr#13.10 apply here? This would make it not an ODR violation, although I wonder if compilers implement this in this specific case.

I agree with the message though, lambda expressions in unevaluated contexts open new interesting ways for ODR violations.
It feels scammy and annoying though, making people less likely to accept it, exactly like Keybase and Stellar. First time I got a Stellar email from Keybase I thought it was a literal scam.
One should never read into tone. It is virtually impossible to correctly interpret.

This is more about content, testing theories that you are skeptical of but the scientific method calls for experimentation regardless. If you are not willing to conduct studies on your mental state, you have not validated it. Allowing yourself to have a potentially inconsistent mental state is not logical.

Because the face-to-face public have an irrational fear of science, however, one has to be protective of the ideas their face-to-face persona is willing to express. Online communication is where the guard is let down.
I use simulator (X Plane) to shoot approaches every few days or so. In real life, you don’t really get to go down to minimums every flight. Simulator helps me to stay proficient.

In normal flight, the models are easy. However, in more unusual flying modes (eg stalls, spins, etc) its very hard to model a specific aircraft behavior vs a generic one. I have experience flying several models and a stall in Citabria (tiny aerobatic high wing) is very different than a stall in much bigger Bonanza. X Plane gets some (not all) of it right while MSFS doesn’t even trying it seems.
Thanks! I'll go dig here.
My simple rule is: if you can’t write a decent library you won’t be able to write a well designed microservice. Microservices have all the challenges of library design plus quite a few more.
Would be good if you could personalise the suggested sites by adding url's. The suggestions seem to be run of the mill news sites everyone else has already tweeted. If you prefer unique content it's not going to find it. I'd like it to trawl sites I frequent often and pull articles on key words maybe?
Pretty much entirely unaddressed so all in all a pretty bad attempt at a pithy political statement.
Glib comments like this are why people say “never read the comments”.
It's the same situation in the California desert communities by me. Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley, 29 Palms, skimmers abound.

One nearby gas station has affixed large warning stickers on the pumps saying something to the effect of "Warning: use of a card to pay at this pump may result in a 72-hour freeze of your card. Please contact your bank or creditor for more information."

I've interrupted a few folks in the process of paying with cards at those pumps, asking them if they saw the warning sign. None had seen it, people seem conditioned to no longer register such things. Also worth noting, none had cash to pay inside with. Some went inside to pay at the register with their card though, which seems less likely to be compromised than the pump.

My card was skimmed at a gas pump shortly after I first arrived in the CA desert, I've only paid with cash ever since.

It seems unlikely that this practice knows any boundaries, I'm suspicious of any gas pump or poorly maintained/monitored ATM at this point.
I'm not sure I agree. I think this is different than, say, a laser printer that just spits out my creative work.

An AI isn't necessarily under control of the person that owns it.

Who do you think owns the copyright of the famous monkey photo? It was the monkey that composed and took the shot. The person who owned the camera had no control over the creative aspects of the shot.
Oh, that's a good one. I suppose you're right in that it would be undetectable that you used an ML model to make the text unless you said so and in that case we'd probably treat it as a creative work.
Just to follow up, you can use our /scrape API to do this:

curl -X POST \
https://chrome.browserless.io/scrape \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
"url": "https://reddit.com/",
"elements": [{
"selector": "img"
}]
}'

This will get all the <img> tags on a page and return their attributes (which includes their sources). If you wanted to do scripts as well, just add a new object to the elements array with the "selector" of "script".
>But the real issue is that media (not just digital) has ZERO incentive to change their practices. Attention is the currency of media and since controversy and sensationalism draw more eyeballs, they are used by actors across the spectrum to enhance their audience size and their revenue. Google and FB use this to their advantage by providing no market basis for their price.

Why include "media" in this? This is uniquely a Google and Facebook problem. The old world of media had dedicated ad sellers, and rudimentary demographic information, to pitch and price their ad inventory to ad buyers. It's a world of people actually vetting things at every stage.

Podcast ads still work this way because Apple isn't an ad-tech company and they have dominant share of podcast players. Spotify is trying to "ad-techify" podcast advertising as we speak.
It's a range, so 3 sets of between 8 and 12 reps (however many you can manage).

What bodyweight routine are you doing? The main thing to look at if you're working out consistently and aren't improving is your diet. Are you getting enough protein and calories? The general advice is to eat ~1 gram of protein per 0.7 lbs or so of bodyweight, and to have at least a 300 calorie surplus if you want to gain muscle.

Not getting enough sleep or being overly stressed out will also kill progress.
Not mention ethics, but we were probably already assuming they were compromised.
This is true, but there are 2 things to consider here. First, purchasing a new or gently used car is likely to be a person's second biggest monthly expense after housing. It is therefore in the best interest of the manufacturer to create a product that is reliable (at least reliable enough to last as long as the 6-7 year loan which are common today). Secondly, you have a couple of 'unicorn' manufacturers (to use a SV parlance) in Toyota and Honda that have historically been outliers in reliability within their market, and have subsequently dominated the market.

This is a huge difference from the sweat-shop in Bangladesh making t-shirts for Wal-Mart or H&M, or the electronics manufacturer in Shenzhen making toasters.

It's all about supply and demand, the demand for a reliable automobile creates a market for that product. Meanwhile, as lower and middle-class people have less purchasing power due to high housing prices, debt, medical expenses etc, the demand for cheap toasters is greater than the demand for a more expensive (but robust) alternative.
It has nothing to do with believing our government is incapable of it. It has to do with believing the FBI is incapable of it.
Doesn't look like any Canadian cities are working.
I believe this proves my point that scala is a big plot to scare kids away from programming
The funny thing, is that to the naked human eye, being in a nebula would look like you are in a big ball of brown dust.
Ah, yes. The sinister "buy-a-domain-name-and-301-redirect-it" hack. Cybercriminality at its finest.

I'm so glad that "UGA is taking these hacks seriously."
I have to agree, dude you are making 26k a year. Starting salary for a fresh junior is 40k and that is just someone who know HTML, CSS and Photoshop let alone if they actually know a server side language.

He is lying about the 1099 being cheaper, that is only true if you are an S-Corporation, right now you are responsible for a little over 15% for social security, something that you are not if you are W2 or a corp. $500 is chump change to put up with Type-A personality bullshit like be here on the spot and no sick days. That is fast food management, you need to bail as fast as you can you have a wife and kids that rely on you to seek as much as you can.

As for the "he has not taken any pay" crap, he has equity, you do not your only reward is your pay check in that situation.
Django. It'll change your life.
Software can be overcome with software, either upgrades or maybe an OSS replacement (may not be way better, but you are at least in control of what pain you want).

Hardware if it is really bad may may not be overcome.
So it looks like Taler is designed as a consumer to merchant payment system, and not person to person. I suppose that person to person could work with banks serving as intermediaries.

With anonymity for consumer how would transactions like exchanges and returns work?
The company I work for solely uses DO. It has all the things you might want that won't get you cloud vendor locked. Plus their UI is actually useable, unlike my experience with AWS.

Many SV startups just end up taking their VC investment and handing it to AWS over a period of 18 months.
I really appreciate that. Both as a customer, but also as a fellow practitioner.

At the end of the day, I don't think the complaints you hear about GCP Support / Service has anything to do with the people working on the line. There's always better or not better examples of folks you encounter as a customer.

As a support consumer, I've learned that my feelings about the person on the other side are very much colored by the fact that I almost never call support when things are going well or I'm in a good place. I typically call support when all else fails and I'm probably ready to throw a product out the window. That's not their fault, and it shouldn't be their problem, either, to a certain extent. They're humans, doin' a job, just like me.

As a support provider, I've learned that the same is true for all of my customers. I need to know that this isn't who they are (usually) when they go home to their family, or out with their friends. They're under a lot of stress and, one way or another, we've let them down and have to deal with that.

I think the challenge with GCP support is all about the overall strategy as a business. My experiences with GCP support is that I have to work way too hard to get past the robots and the scripted responses in order to find someone who is willing to listen and engage with my question or problem. And then, to make matters worse, about 80% of my interactions with Google support involves them trying to introduce me to some consulting company or third party provider. That is pretty much never what I want. I don't want some third party billing integrator that is going to mess up my reporting with their "value added" service. I already pay for support, I don't want to hear a pitch about paying for more support when I feel like I'm not getting what I've already paid for.

I don't hold this against the support folks at Google.

I hold this against the leadership at Google.

This is their strategy to contain costs or to juice sales.

If it were working, I think their numbers would be very different in the market. So the proof is in the pudding.

Something isn't working at GCP.

I don't think it's the engineers or the teams. It's the leadership and the strategy.
Reading the comments, I'm struck by how I read this scene totally differently to most of them. I see an overworked, annoyed young analyst sent to deal with two rich kids (starting a hedge fund with money they made 'taking boats down the river', then skipping the ISDA requirements by calling their neighbour) who are wasting everyone's time by not even doing the absolute minimum research -- it was 2006, just Google ISDA and you find out the requirements.

Also a security guard kicking out two men in suits from a lobby is just weirdly unrealistic.
ML wasn't totally inaccessible by that metric, it was quite common to store ML in DATA statements and POKE it into the desired memory locations. Depending on the platform it would either be directly called with SYS or CALL type statements, or it'd be vectored through USR() (or perhaps the ampersand in Applesoft).
There's already a lot of positive comments in here but I'll throw in another one. Tried DO out recently and I like how it set up.

I feel like the biggest competition is specific, tailored services from the bigger players - Amazon Lightsail for example.
They currently have an incident with their droplets right now at the time of writing, hardly reliable.
There's a difference between delisting your app from the Shopify App Store and making it private (now called custom). A delisted app still needs to use Shopify's billing system and pay the 20% fee even if you find new customers yourself. If your Shopify app is private (custom) then it doesn't need to use Shopify's billing system but then it can't be installed by more than 1 merchant. So Shopify has basically created a catch 22. If you want your app to be installed by more than 1 merchant even if it's not on the Shopify App Store then you're required to pay them a fee. For reference, Shopify made this change at the end of 2019: https://www.shopify.com/partners/blog/shopify-public-apps
Oh I understand. In a similar way, the hotter places have air-conditioning (granted, not so popular but not uncommon) so the northerner cities suffer in heat waves.

And yes you definitely feel it comfort wise
“ It's an article that makes a simple observation” - it’s an article that plays games with language to mislead its audience. to reiterate read the definition of true fan. are you that big of a fan of literally anyone? the true fan bar is so high, the article ceases to have meaning based on its own words. feel free to extrapolate your own meaning, which is what i believe you are doing.
Isn't there also a recourse process by which you can get a patent invalidated? You can't expect USPTO to hire an expert in every single possible field.

In the New England area, I think Newbury Comics has done a good job of reinventing itself -- it wasn't ever (in my memory at least) just a comics store and made a lot of its money from music for a while, but if you go in there now it's got some movies, music, a comic section/room, but it's mostly other stuff -- merchandise from trendy games, shows, movies etc. Funny/quirky gifts, toys, jewelry, etc.

Maybe doesn't appeal to die hard comic book fans, but it's a fun experience for the casual shopper, which makes it viable. My 12 year old is always excited to stop in there.
>Now we are able to launch a rocket in orbit, then fly the first stage to land on a small platform floating in the middle of the ocean.

You know we landed on the moon, right? I mean, this is cool, but from a sheer "fascinating achievement" standpoint, this is at least a few notches behind that.

Point taken.

I'm not a fan of driving. I'm looking to avoid cooking my own meals (so a nice set of restaurants in walking distance would be great). Also, per the earlier comment, I'm not bilingual, so I'd like to avoid places that are hostile towards that (I've heard rumors about Paris, but I'm not sure how true they are).

Not sure where I fall on urban versus scenic. I wouldn't want to be out in the middle of nowhere, but if all the niceties of civilization are there then a scenic environment would be nice.
I'm still in college, but I've found myself in similar situation.

I was/am a jack of a lot of trades but master of none. I manage to code in whichever language that comes by or feels good to do the job at hand in the easiest and best way. I've to blame my nature for that. I like variety.

At the end of the day, I had nothing to show off on my portfolio that's fashionably cool. Only a bunch of apps that most average coders would have. I realized that most awesome ideas I thought off still rested in my head or I discarded them with the reason that the idea's implementation required tech skills way above mine.

So I just charted a schedule for my normal day. I spent half the day learning and half the day working. I code when I'm fresh from sleep (early morning or after the afternoon nap). I spend the other boring time learning. I'm able to learn things very quickly. I hope this trick will help you learn more.

And I totally agree with patio11 says. I can't help myself from stumbling atleast 10 "php developer wanted" job posting every day. Since you said you've been doing it for 8yrs now I assume you are really good at what you do and you are way better than half the php crowd if you've done it right for most of those 8yrs. So maybe continue your niche (small sites on cheap hosting) while the rest is busy learning/doing rails.

P.S: read this http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1438983 for another bunch of tricks
If you can write code that has been put into production, then you are way ahead of many so-called developers on the job market. This is the sad state of our industry.

Since you say you know design and programming but the actual sites you've had to put together for your employer(s) are atrocious, why haven't you built a portfolio for yourself? For very cheap, you can get yourself a virtual server or even some shared hosting site along with a domain name or two and put up whatever you want. One site at least should include your resume and contact info along with anything else you feel is good to post with that info. After that, it's up to you how you want to present yourself. If your portfolio of sites under your control are attractive, have good usability and present well, then it will be obvious to any prospective employer that your work sites are bad because you were doing what your employers told you to.
By your statement....you are no rockstar. I would argue that...you are no rockstar YET. You need at least two things to become a Genius/Rockstar/whatever:

1. Challenging work that forces you to improve your c0ding ski11z.

2. Time.

There is no shortcut and your eight years so far count quite well. It is time to take it up a notch and start challenging yourself in your current job or trying some side projects.

If you don't believe that you could become a rockstar coder, I'd suggest reading Bounce by Matthew Syed.
"Be so good they can't ignore you- I first heard this quote from Marc Andreessen, but he stole it from Steve Martin."

I'm pretty sure this is also a reference to Ender's Game.
I have no idea if she would become more organized as a result of having a couple of kids.

My observations of other people who have had kids leads me to conclude that disorganized single people rarely become organized parents.

But, you said it would be unstable, while actually if it crashed into the wall the resultant forces would put it back somewhere in the middle.

Or more accurately oscillating back and forth in the middle, but not touching the wall.

If there was any vapor in the middle (which seems likely to me, considering it would be a perfect vacuum at pretty extreme temperatures), then the gas would eventually slow down the oscillations and it would end up exactly in the middle.
Some people use their laptops on the go, but I’ve observed that most people drastically overestimate how often they’ll actually do that. Even pre-pandemic most of my colleagues effectively used their laptops like Mac mini’s with built in battery backups.

Honestly, in a post pandemic world I feel like companies should start handing out more desktops. If I’m remote forever, why pay for a display that I’ll literally never open?
I would recommend not looking closer!
The cookie warning when trying to read that is ... ironic.
Everything other than performance per Watt is not great.

• The boot process is very locked down, and is unfinished/buggy. My M1 MBP is acting up in ways that previously would have been solved with SMC/PRAM reset, but M1 doesn't have these and NVRAM can't be reset. I had to reinstall it via DFU mode. It felt like jailbreaking an iPhone.

• The hardware has a poor implementation of Thunderbolt with missing features and incompatibilities. Not only it supports only one external display, but only one specific port, and in multi-port docks you can't chose which one it picks. Some external disks benchmark poorly with inconsistent and slower-than-expected speeds.

• Having ports only on one side is more annoying than I expected.

• It's clearly a "rev.1" machine, and these usually age poorly and get dropped by Apple quicker than later, mature revisions.

• It's very fast for a 25W CPU, but in absolute terms power-hungry desktop CPUs are still faster. So my buggy M1 is gathering dust, because right now I'm not traveling anywhere, so I can use a desktop computer that is faster.
The canonical way to use Profiles, even with Kotlin is with your Maven XML or a web.xml

You can set them up other ways, but it just ends up making a lot of sense to define them there.

To be fair, Ktor is pretty similar with the "application.conf" if you use the built-in Profiles equivalent: https://ktor.io/docs/configurations.html#hocon-overview

I just prefer that if I'm using DI, the concept of environments be handled by DI. Scoping is what DI does best after all...
Darn that English language !

But that's a great little trick - the accounts department sees "annual support plan" and thinks they are buying support from the project - but really ... :-)
we use jooq extensively it's probably the most valuable tech in our backend.

Also among various other tech stacks I've never seen something that hits the sweet spot between "plain sql" and "advantages of ORM-stuff" as well as jooq
Personally I feel that “toxin” is appropriate language in the massage industry: the actual individual effects can be widely varied, clients understand it, and it prepares them for potential symptoms without planting any negative biases that would affect their actual experience through placebo effect.
