I hear you. I work at Facebook, albeit in Seattle. Honestly, I'd prefer private offices too. I prefer complete silence for coding. (Okay, occasionally jazz, classical, or video game music.) I don't get that with our open plan office. BUT! 1) I can work from home as often as I want 2) we get free, very high quality headphones, and 3) there are quiet spaces I can use when necessary. Coming from Microsoft, I miss private offices more than I actually do. The way I look at it, I do my real coding at home, on an Amtrak sleeper car, or whatever, and come into the office to socialize about coding, a completely different activity.
Haha I didn't know a lot of people didn't know about this. I am one of those people who likes to read man pages :D Another favorite one of mine is the `v` switch to quickly jump to the editor from `less`. Pretty handy!

It's good to add some value with your comment though. You can talk about how she was as a person or some other interesting anecdote
Psychologically, behaving in a certain way makes it more likely that you'll behave in the same way in the future. That's an integral idea underpinning justice systems.
Once you have the basic shape you make a guess where you collect as much information as possible. This was my attempt at the same equation https://imgur.com/a/7qGUC6k
I was able to do it via a Google Voice number a few years ago
I know of at least one language which actually uses this approach in its module system; namely, Io [http://iolanguage.com/]. In Io, if you refer to an undefined name, all Io files in the current directory are searched for that name. The file containing that name is then automatically imported. I’ve never used Io so I don’t know how it works out in practice, but I suspect that the small community helps, in that backwards compatibility becomes less important.
I really, really need to look at Breeze and Jetstream.
What I found, and I may have been wrong, is that there is a lot of Java work but if you look deeper it is hardcore Java EE with all thise 200 levels of Java that a lot of folks fear. And so do I. Even jobs that had Spring Boot asked for the JavaEE experience.

Could be just me though.
I am a Christian. I believe that God is actually there - not just an idea, but a Person who truly exists. To me, life is very much not meaningless. I was made to know God, to love Him and be loved by Him.

But maybe you don't agree with that. Maybe you think that's just a fantasy, a nice game of pretend that I play to keep the meaninglessness at bay. Even so, I think that our human nature is to need to love and be loved. If God isn't there, well, people are. Love them. Be loved by them.
No, it’s really the output of:

> Their lightbulbs were of a higher quality, more efficient, and brighter burning than other bulbs. They also cost a lot more. Indeed, all evidence points to the cartel’s being motivated by profits and increased sales, not by what was best for the consumer.

It would have been straightforward for them to manufacture higher voltage, less brighter lamps with a longer lifespan. They didn't.
I've used fastmail for 19 years now. Way back in 2000 I was travelig India for 6 months. At that time I was reading email on my university through a telnet connection with the pine client. Quite a hardcore experience! So I decided to get with the program and get a webmail. Hotmail was the hottest those days, but I never liked it. So I picked up a computer magazine on the street in Delhi and came across a review of web based email providers. Guess what. The ranked fastmail as #1! Above all the others. Never looked back since then :)
> It's a bit like medicine: we're not going to stop treating people just because we don't understand the mechanism of action and can't guarantee that it will work.

Yet medicine actually focuses on scientific measurement of effects. They don’t just throw their hands up and go, “experiments that affect people’s lives are too hard.”
Here is the playlist FWIW: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/61RNVG9yeQpFBRi8OAVC9I?si=...

There is a section of albums by “The New Law” which is a good place to start. The list is made to be listened to album by album so there aren’t many distracting transitions.
Did the poster say anything that was incorrect?
Brainfuck exists. It's fine.
It appears to be out of print.

EDIT: Or maybe not. It's just surprisingly expensive (~$60) and Amazon apparently doesn't stock it themselves.
Quite a lot is possible with CNI [1]. For example, we use this setup to give real IPs to containers:

# /etc/cni/net.d/testnet.conflist
{
"cniVersion": "0.4.0",
"name": "testnet",
"plugins": [
{
"type": "bridge",
"bridge": "br0", # main host interface is part of this bridge
"ipam": {
"type": "host-local",
"subnet": "10.0.0.0/16",
"gateway": "10.0.0.1",
"routes": [{ "dst": "0.0.0.0/0"}]
}
}
]
}

You can then start a container and operate on its network namespace for added flexibility:

podman run -it --net testnet --ip 10.0.0.2 ...

ns=$(basename $(podman inspect $id | jq -r '.[0] .NetworkSettings .SandboxKey'))
ip netns exec $ns ip route add ...

I've only done some light benchmarking so far. I had it running on a two-core DigitalOcean machine with sustained write load to test for race bugs and it was replicating 1K+ writes per second. But honestly I haven't even tried optimizing the code yet. I'm mainly focused on correctness right now. I would bet it could get a lot faster.

I think we can draw parallels between C and Kubernetes - C can be an ideal tool for some stuff, and it's theoretically possible to write a secure program in C.

However, there's a reason why people keep saying that it's practically impossible to write C securely. C provides so many gotchas and footguns that it's not even funny. Unless your problem space really demands it, there's not much reason to use C other than "I love to live dangerously."

Similarly, Kubernetes can be an ideal choice for some people. It may even be an OK choice for some others. But there are many for whom there's no reason to use k8s other than "another shiny item on my resume."

It's not surprising to see something like this for Django, is it? If anyone were still using Zope, there would be similar needs.
Global Rule #4

I would state this slightly differently: discussion considered to be abusive by the moderators/admins of their sites has been taken down in some form from every major communications platform. In some cases, that discussion involves GamerGate.

It is possible to construct a conspiracy theory in which GamerGate is being censored, but given the existence of (say) http://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/, it's hard for me to believe that Reddit as an entity is removing all GamerGate discussion.
A third-party network that sites like these could easily integrate into would mean more money for the sites, more relevant ads for the end users and an alternative to Facebook Ads

I couldn't agree more. Trafficspaces already provides it. See screenshots - http://www.trafficspaces.com/tour/

You can integrate demographic info from your database to show targeted ads just like in Facebook Ads.
Static sites served from the filesystem directly through any reasonable webserver are always going to be quick. 100k hits per month is nothing and a hackernews spike should not even be noticed unless you are serving up video or something large.

My site sits on a $5 DO droplet and I have never even come close to hitting any kind of limit despite the occasional traffic spike.

Dynamic content management systems are a convenience for the developer/maintainer of the site but push additional requirements onto the hosting CPU (and the client for javascript heavy sites). The cost of these requirements is often not clear but usually much larger than you might expect.
I'm really not fond of rules that force you to make black and white decisions on things that are inherently in shades of gray.

I watch a lot of stuff with my 5 year old daughter -- whether on YouTube or elsewhere -- than we both seem to equally enjoy. Recent ones include Star Wars Resistance, The Mandalorian, Spirited Away, From Up on Poppy Hill, The Incredibles 2.

On YouTube we watch "how it's made" videos, as well as a lot of music videos, such as Taylor Swift and Billish Eilish. A lot of stuff probably has a median age of viewers that is right around the cutoff age, 13. But lots of over-18 adults like them too and would watch them completely in the absence of kids.

Are these things "for kids"? I don't see how you would make that determination.

That seems like a pretty uninformed hypothesis. For example, halting oracles can process symbols, but are not computable. So, maybe it is necessary, but easy to show symbol processing may not be sufficient (as I just did).

This has significant implications for the engineering discipline. For example, if the mind is a halting oracle, then you can get much more performant algorithms by incorporating human interaction.
I wouldn't assume it's a positive trait. People take pleasure out of things like optical illusions, which are arguably defects in human vision.

Oh, so not THAT valuable.
Why do you think we don't have free will?
Yes of course. Fought for it with lawyers for years. Denied despite evidence by a very biased judge. Appealed. Same judge denied again. The system is broken. I am out of credits to apply now. I have done everything you are supposed to and that people think works. It doesn't. It's just the same advice recycled and disbelief it didn't work...then on to blaming me for it...and me getting more upset and hopeless. Over and over. I know who I am and what I have done...but it doesn't matter.
Because of risk. For each landlord "entitled to all of the new wealth" in a few successful cities, there are bunch of these less lucky.

That was a lesson in itself though, wasn't it? Perhaps, armed with that knowledge you can go on to make something much greater and more interesting. Consider it a lesson in crap quitting.
Honestly curious, do you by chance have a source for this ability to infect decreasing quickly? I would love to share it becasue many people are getting paranoid about how long a tabletop or doorknob could infect them after being touched.
As someone who isn't following the Qt vs. GTK debate closely, this makes me ask myself why the choice of a code library -- which should be based on how well it fits into application code and similar criteria -- affects the user at all?

If the user is able to spot the choice of toolkit just by using the application, I'd suspect that design decisions have been coupled to code decisions, which would be a smell by itself. I mean, what exactly would you do if the code guy says, GTK fits the code best, and the design guy says, Qt fits the design best? The answer would be "the Qt look-and-feel for design, and the GTK API for code", but you can't do that when you have coupled these decisions.
What do you think this study tells us?

The way the authors have analyzed their data it tells us this is a promising drug. Had they done an intention to treat analysis very likely the opposite would've been the result.

The only thing that trial tells us is that if you do a bad trial you're as clueless as before.
I can't find any information around this except an open issue (https://github.com/Tampermonkey/tampermonkey/issues/397), you got any links?

As I understand issue linked above, they want to support it but currently does not, in official releases. What's supported is catching all requests in a page, but that's after the contentscript has been applied to the page, which means what arkadiyt wrote would still be accurate.
Its easy to imagine smarter missiles that have multiple independent warheads and contain jammers and attempt to fly around to approach from vulnerable angles etc.

Its also easier to imagine infantry falling back on indirect fire, where they identify targets for artillery and aircraft.

RPGs etc made cheaply-equipped soldiers able to take on expensive tanks. But now extremely expensive tanks are becoming immune to them, and the next step for soldiers is also expensive.
That's true and I think it's irresponsible. Even if the spread would be perfectly controlled and kept so that the number of patients in ICU stay below capacity, I don't think we can manage to get 60% of the population infected in 12 months because we would be moving at a slower rate. And it would be very surprising if the spread can be perfectly controlled. This article also makes some very good arguments for why it's not the right strategy: https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-the-hammer-and-th...
Learning C could mean a steep learning curve: you have to understand pointers and memory management to get anything useful done, and IME it takes new programmers a while to get their head around pointers.
No, Lori Park holds that distinction.

Comcast is or soon will be, the owner of the left-wing station MSNBC. Does that mean that we can safely disregard everything said on there?

And libertarians are NOT pro-business, they are pro-LIBERTY. In a world where so many Hollywood movies feature a corporation (not HW studios, though) as the source of all evil, and the Dems bash businesses while receiving most of the 2008 Wall Street campaign money, they only seem pro-business.
OK "must" is maybe too strong a word. My thinking was that since they try to be transparent in the way the company is set up, they would clarify if there was a reason behind this or whether it was incidental.
The major challenge, of course, is when the FSM is improperly programmed. I recently ran into this situation when installing a new 1xEVDO USB dongle on my laptop. It was one of the new devices that had the OS X and Windows Drivers built right in. It was visibly advertised as "No Driver Disk Required!". When I attempted to get it working on my laptop, it was recognized, device IDs and everything, lit up its LEDs properly, but refused to get an IP address.

My Call with Tech Support at Sprint went something along the lines of the following:

Me: Hi, my 1xEVDO USB Dongle isn't connecting.
Tech: Have you inserted the Driver Disk?
Me: No, this is one of your new dongles. No Disk.
Tech: You need to insert the Driver Disk before we
can proceed.
Me: No, really - can you just google this device
you sell? It's clearly identified as having
NO driver disk.
Tech: I can't proceed until you install the driver
disk.
Me: Can you please escalate to your manager?
Tech: I can only escalate after we have completed
some initial troubleshooting. Can you please
insert the driver disk?

You may think I'm engaging in hyperbole. I'm not. If anything, it was even worse than the above. I think at one point I started reading, verbatim, the box description where it made it abundantly clear that there was not, and could not, be a driver disk.

Attempting to call back into the pool didn't get me any further. I gave up, called back a week later, and they had modified their instructions and we were able to proceed, and remedy a relatively simply account configuration issue on their side.

And don't even get me started on the time I was shipped another CMDA device with a HEX ESN printed on it, and the tech refused to continue until I provided them with a decimal one. How is it that I, the customer, have to in real time figure out how to convert a HEX ESN that was shipped with the box into a decimal ESN that they can enter into their system?

At the end of the day, though, I doubt that anyone really choses their Wireless provider based on the level of technical support they get - it's usually on stuff like coverage, cost, quality, so it probably makes sense to invest in those areas rather than enhancing their tech support teams.

Heroin (diacetylmorphine) isn't illegal, it's a controlled substance. It's still prescribed fairly regularly, and has recognized medical uses.
I have a 14 inch M1 and a 16 inch Intel- the M1 was primarily to test a bunch of ARM stuff. I've also had a 15inch for years.

My take is that the 16 inch is a bit too big to be conveniently portable (especially on airplanes, it's impossible to use there). I don't think the 14 inch is unreasonably small, but it is noticeably smaller than what I'd like. I use external monitors though and have no problem, and I'd much rather carry the 14 inch around.

One thing to note is that these are definitely on the heavier side for Apple, which is part of why I'm happier with the smaller one as my portable machine.
I think what the other commenters are getting at is that PDEs can be used without having a closed form solution (and mostly are used that way as closed form solutions usually only come up in special artificial cases). You start your system in a real known state and then propagate it forward in time using (for example) the finite difference method on the equations to figure out the state at a later time.

Funny, I thought you mentioned the VPS because you could still reverse tunnel and share the app in your laptop without deploying. I was going to say that it's still a good idea since the day pass is just $1.

Primary sources are usually worth seeking out, anyway.
You probably have every right to show the content privately, so your event can not open to the public.
I have no idea if rebroadcasting changes things, but if it's not illegal in principle, sharing it privately should not be a problem.

IANAL
> Wi-Fi for home use was pretty well solved with AC nearly a decade ago now

This is only true for small houses with certain construction materials, few devices, and an internet connection under, say, 50Mbps. The last year has been especially good for seeing how rarely that's true for most people, however. It's so easy to find people talking about how upgrading from a 10-year old access point or adding 1-2 more made a huge difference for things like call latency or contention between devices. Having everyone home and trying to work, attend class, or socialize online made dealing with all of that a priority.
Oooh, I've been wanting something like this for some time. Prior searches have only turned up systems far, far larger and more complex than a house needs.
HTTPS is broken by content delivery networks who terminate SSL connections. HTTPS Everywhere makes the problem worse, by increasing load for static pages and breaking caches, forcing sites to use a content delivery network.

Take a look at that HTTPS certificate that you think means you're talking to the site of your choice. If it says "cloudflare.com", "incapsula.com", "edgecastcdn.com", "palmwebservices.com", "cdnetworks.net", there is a man in the middle of your HTTPS connection. This is the case for at least 38,000 sites we know about. There are probably more. (The list: http://john-nagle.github.io/certscan/whoamitalkingto04.pdf)

HTTPS Everywhere was well-intentioned, but the people behind it didn't realize that high-volume use of HTTPS forced less secure use of HTTPS. That's why it's a form of security theater.
Because it's silly to ask web developers to cater to a specific extension used by a marginal minority of people. Much better to use a more general method for when JS is unavailable.

And people using noscript or similar tools (like myself) should know by now when a page fails to check that first.
Monitoring population size through generations in Conway's Game of Life was the premise of my state science fair project.

Wow... Note to self. Don't write posts after midnight...
I don't know. Skimming over this page you linked I have again those thought about how the world is filled with so many different customs, people, problems, even sleeping habits.

I leave in China right now and these tips look very weird, exotic from here. For example, what do they (ASA) have against a short nap? Here the countryside girls selling vegetables in local markets do nap on their lines of carrots. I bet you they do not have any sleeping problems.

They (ASA) say "When you watch TV or read in bed, you associate the bed with wakefulness". That's true for most recent TV programs, because they punch you in the face constantly (it has not always been the case), but most books I read do not push me in a "state during which [I am] conscious and aware of the world." On the contrary, good reading brings a soft transition between full awareness of the real world and the dreams I'll get during the night. Maybe it is a drug, but I tell you: I always read in bed before sleeping, even if I'm too tired. I just can't climb the couch and sleep right away. Sorry for not being able to agree with this American Sleep Association advice.
Do people really not know a bike will steer itself? it's been called ghost riding for a long time... even before that ridiculous song.
Based on usual MSFT behavior, I would assume there are already several companies in an Partner relationship and working on products under NDA. At the time the commercial version (if not the Academic version) of the SDK is launched, I'd expect the usual parade-of-demos by CTOs of those companies.

So, I expect to "see" those startups at whatever event MSFT launches the SDK officially.
There were various things we weren't allowed to take pictures of but mostly they were very open. You can't even get to the bathroom without a keycard. I don't think they have a reason to be paranoid.
