My experience is that the support is shit. Azure has good parts but if the grass isn't greener elsewhere then I weep for the state of the field.
Oh I didn't say they'd be good at the board.
I expect a lot of workplaces will change and many of those who can will shift to those workplaces that accommodate their preferred styles.
"I think we've lost a certain elegance that was present in that age."

Or a certain cold-war inspired desire for robust rocket technology. Yes, the engineers were working for the sake of a moon mission and what not, but the domestic political motivations were never exploration for its own sake.
>I don't understand why it's not possible. You're asking if it's possible in the language. I don't see anything stopping you from, as you say, writing your own framework, or simply doing it in TF. Perhaps my ignorance of Julia is showing :)

It's not that it's not possible. Yeah, you could always "write your own framework".

It's that it's not readily available by the language, ready-made to compose, without resorting to external libs on C/C++/Fortran, and so on.

So, "not possible" not in the sense that "it's not possible to write a program that solves the halting problem". More like "it's not possible to write a web app in assembly". Which means, yeah, it's possible, technically, but you wouldn't like it, it would be full of holes, a pain to maintain, and not a good time investment.
i know, thats why i want to know so bad !
It might also be worth putting a link to the home page somewhere when viewing a project.
I wasn't arguing with or misunderstanding the point being made. I was just disputing that DDG usage would be positively related to credit unworthiness. I admit that it was pedantic.
> I can't back it up with any evidence but my feeling is that a combo of stress and too healthy food (for me) triggered my gut crisis.

Similar. I'd been trying to eat healthier for the past couple years, slowly cutting back on dessert/sweet foods, eating more vegetables and fruits. Even started doing green and fruit smoothies this year. But yeah, under the FODMAP theory a lot of fruits could ferment in the gut, some vegetables too, and beans, a staple of a healthy diet, are probably the prototypical high-FODMAP food.

I'm not sure what the moral of that is ... I guess ... don't eat healthier because it might kill you? shrug The gut is a weird beast.
I can’t find the name now, but there was a researcher who looked at crooked teeth and tooth decay in modern society, then started flying around the globe to see if the issue was the same in tribes. Turned out it wasn’t.

What do you have to say to that?
Sounds like the 'T' shaped skill set.
This is so freaking cool!
Intel only supports ECC RAM w/ its Xeon chips, in contrast to AMD where almost all of its chips support ECC (w/ the appropriate motherboard of course).
I know that's not quite what you're looking for, but I use http://www.lowendbox.com/ to look for good deals on VPS (they have coupons) and http://www.lowenddedi.net/ when I want a dedicated server... At lowendbox, I found http://www.quickweb.co.nz (they're based in New Zealand but my VPS is in the US). I'm paying $4.95 for a 256M ram/20GB disk. Quickweb is very good and have awesome support.

Also, because they're in New Zealand, you can ask for stuff late at night (in the US) and they'll answer promptly.

Depending on what you want, http://prq.se/ might also be a good choice.
I recognize this e-mail drafting scheme well. I also had very mixed experiences with Google Checkout. I finally found a workaround, but will try to avoid them in the future.
Their 'support' is atrocious.
3M rows, 70M relationships? Sounds like it could fit in a hash table in memory in your programming language of choice.
Mr Young sold the software as fast as Mr Ewing could produce it.

Is this a metaphor gone wrong or just English humor?
clever name, nice.
The d302 is taken.
I would be convinced if you could cite prohibition against inanimate data that maintains the 4th amendment protections in US while simultaneously thwarting those determined to share and manipulate that data. It might, might, work somewhere in someplace like Singapore where the population has widespread support for execution of those found with contraband and few constitutional protections.

Prohibition has doubtful effect in US on even universally hated and criminally suppressed content like CP.
I wonder how many people who think this is okay actually bike in locales with high populations of white teslas?
Pretty poor execution by Tesla though. It didn't even honk and yell "ride on the sidewalk, moron!"
The issue identified is that many plants weren't able to stay online to sell energy at the extreme prices that were bid. Those plants didn't make windfall profits for their investors, they weren't selling anything at all.

Essentially it reached a point where electricity wasn't available at any price.
> If they weren't, corporations could easily split into several smaller ones to keep their profits below some threshold

I think we need to address this somehow. Perhaps by counting size by which actual people control and/or own the companies rather than the current arbitrary legal structure.
There are certainly forms of lobbying that are not bribery. Conflating the two is a false equivalency. Lobbying, in general, is the process of informing politicians about certain topics important to an interest group or set of individuals / constituents. When lobbyists bribe (which is illegal) or more realistically: when lobbyists conditionally contribute campaign donations, those actions are the moral hazard.
> Everyone [..] knows that the system that they are living under isn’t working as it is supposed to; that there is a lot of corruption at the top. But whenever the journalists point it out, everyone goes “Wow that’s terrible!” and then nothing happens and the system remains the same.

Everyone agrees that the system isn't working as suposed, but we don't agree on how and why it isn't working.

The resulting system is an unappealing mix of all the different values and beliefs we have about the hows and whys. The more different the values, the more unappealing the mix.
>The developer that wrote the code by definition cannot write an appropriate test suite for it. It is entirely possible/probable that details missed in implementation will be missed entirely in test, as the developer missed them.

The same is true of pretty much everybody - PMs and QA included. Everybody misses details and edge cases.

It's better to write the test suite in a readable form and get everyone to take a look at it.

Unit tests are almost entirely unsuitable for this purpose most of the time.
-Not the OP, but my impression is s/he implied that the big corporations performed tax shenanigans to ensure their taxable profit ended up very near zero - say, buying expensive services from subsidiaries in tax havens &c.

Say I run a company out of the US called 'Paraná' (Seeing as the other big river is already taken), turning $1B/year profit.

I promptly spend the profit buying consulting services from 'Paraná Consulting and Tax Shenanigans LLC' based out of a Panama mailbox for $1.05B, for instance - then I even run my US business at a loss.

(I don't know anything about US or international tax codes, but the above basically sums up the methods described in X stories I've read about tax planning over the years.)
Back then there was real hope that HCQ was indeed going to be a breakthrough treatment. Or do you also claim that Emmanuel Macron was also motivated by financial reasons when he made a well publicized visit to Didier Raoult? https://www.france24.com/en/20200409-macron-visits-marseille...
Uh, in that case we'll have to disagree. I think corporations in general do a better job of spending money than the government, but I don't have hard evidence for that view.
> Another big one: Use the mouse from your shoulder/elbow, not your wrist. Keep the wrist stabilized.

I had a mouse once that was shaped like a joystick, so your hand was 'side-on' instead of face down. It FORCES you to use your whole arm, basically.
My experience has been the same. I do enjoy clojure very much but I've spent hours and even days just searching for examples on how to do X or Y and most of the sources are not beginner friendly at all.

If it wasn't because of my huge desire to use datomic I think I'd switch to some other language. On the plus side I've learned a lot.
Maybe I’m missing something but I don’t see anything about ocean acidification in those links, only temp/CO2 correlation, and the chart of ice core data only goes up to 280ppm CO2. Since we’re at 420 now yet we have had temperatures this high before, maybe that historic relationship can’t be relied upon (as humans weren’t there the last time) and another explanation is required? See sibling comment re rate of change and time lag for species to adapt.
> So far only big matrix provider are reliable and performant enough to be usable.

I've been running a Matrix homeserver on a 1/1 VM for years without any issues. There is no downside to choosing a small server, you can still federate with everyone else. That's the entire point.
The fact remains that BLM related protests in 2020 were handled much more harshly than this. If this were a BLM protest, not only would the protestors have been all arrested and/or killed, but the media would be treating it like a national emergency.

And it's not just the fact that the police allowed it to happen or that the military was not asked to intervene until way too late.

It's also the alarmingly not-alarmed media response. What happened to "thugs" or "rioters" or "enemy combatants"?
> I have a Mac SE/30 with a 800K drive

An SE/30 should have a SuperDrive[0] so at the very least you should be able to write a 1.44MB floppy with a Disk Copy 4.2 image file, then restore the image to a 800K GCR diskette from the SE/30.

[0] The combo 400K/800K GCR & 1.44MB MFM 3.5" floppy drive, not the combo DVD/CD-RW drive when they recycled the name a decade later: https://www.siber-sonic.com/mac/superfloppy.html
On one hand I never read through any TC or license and never agreed to anything in them. I'm just clicking buttons to be able to use the app. Often I don't even read the text on the button. And I think most people behave this way.

On the other hand as tech savvy person I have no expectation about what happens to the data that I enter into the app beyond expecting it not to be immediately published for everyone to see unless that's what the app explicitely does.

I know data I entered might be viewed by unspecified number of people all over the world during normal operation, and that this data might be published at some point in the future. I'm hoping none of the unknown people that can view my data knows me personally or uses this data against me.

There's no end to end encryption hosted service I currently trust to do what they say. If I were to transfer information that I don't want under no circumstances to go public I'd have to research what wikileaks is now using for communication.

That's the contract I'm operating under. I think it's a good balance because it's aligned with physical reality.
Thankfully the issue has been raised to multiple courts haven't it?
If you are familiar with modern development thinking, weekly sprints, release often, deliver small chunks all lead to frequent updates.

One other thing is to get users used to more frequent updates as well. As I type this, Windows is nagging me to restart so it can update. brb.
An image that is obviously not a photo. The dude is literally standing on a large puzzle board. It's a reference to something that actually happened, and clear it's not an actual photo... Should political cartoons also be removed in your opinion?
Sounds like typical Rust... They're well-meaning people in general, but they usually lack domain knowledge in the particular field they're trying to reinvent in Rust, so the end result often looks like a square-shaped wheel.
To clarify: I'm not claiming that the phrase "duck tape" in its original sense was derived from the branded product "Duck Tape"; as you point out, the phrase "duck tape" came first, and was derived from cotton duck.

However, if you use the phrase "duck tape" not in its original sense, but as (effectively) a new word--as a genericization of "Duck Tape"--then you would (IMHO) be quite correct to call duct tape "duck tape."

I guess this depends on whether you think that this use of "duck tape" is actually a new sense of the phrase, or just a continued misusage of the preexisting sense.

I would argue for the former, since IIRC the phrase "duck tape" actually fell out of popular usage for a while before the time when the Duck brand emerged.

This suggests that the phrase "duck tape" was effectively resurrected with a new meaning--that of a genericized trademark derived from the "Duck Tape" brand.

Google Ngram Viewer seems to partially back this up--note that "duck tape" declined in popularity from 1943 to 1963, slightly reemerged around when the Duck Tape brand got its name in 1975, but only really took off between 1987 and 2007: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=duck+tape&year...

I can't explain why usage increased slightly between 1963 and 1975, though. Hmm...
I noticed this too, the tires just doesn't fit very well in the overall design.
How is it function over form? They use electric motors on the door handles, bed cover, and ramp. They made the bed sides super high and hard to access the bed. It has no floor tie-downs. They gave it a glass roof where you'd lean stuff from the bed!

This is absolutely form over function, they just picked a form which is controversial.

PS - I actually like the Cybertruck. But I'm self aware to know it is due to all the impractical toys that will ultimately be a maintenance hazard. It is cool but impractical.
Skip to around 15 minutes in unless you like watching terrible smartphone footage of a bunch of people standing around waiting for the truck to turn up.
>But think of the general US electorate. How many of them, seeing this clip on the news as they prepare dinner, would know it’s fake?

I'm not convinced deepfakes will be that big of a problem because people already believe things that aren't real (and don't believe things that are real) without the help of technology.
According to their support article they are developing some.printing infrastructure for chrome OS to be released before deprecation of cloud print.

I prefer the other sounds that crowds make such as cheering, booing, singing, playing drums, banging the stands in sync, the occasional trumpet. The Vuvuzela totally blocks all of these out, replacing them with a monotone buzz. To me it destroys a lot of what is great about watching soccer.
Dude, you're lucky. I took me 10 years post college to figure out what I'm truly passionate about. If you don't take the plunge now you'll end up leaving a perfectly good career at 31 to do it anyway (most likely after reading a pg essay like myself).

1. Hackers learn by doing. If you enjoy tackling problems you're 3/4 of the way there. If you have ideas, you're 3/4 of the way there. Combining those two will fill in the other blanks for you. What language you use would depend on the problem space. When you pick a problem, you could always poll here for suggestions.

2. Don't worry if they're better or worse than you, just seek out people who love doing it. They'll eclipse everyone else in short order anyway.

My only add on advice is I would assume you have more college options than what you've stated. If you do like programming, you really can't go wrong at this point in history with a degree in it. I would look for less time consuming options.

Seriously, start your new life today. Pick a problem and start hacking away at it. Start hacking away at college options and start seeking out hacker meetups (you'll have plenty of options in NY).

Above all, enjoy it. Good luck.
Yes, $0.03/minute incoming and outgoing for local numbers, but $0.03/minute outgoing and $0.05/minute incoming for toll-free numbers.
I am glad to find out there are some other issues with it. My main disappointment with it however remains its license. It would of been really cool if Google released it with a CC or MIT license but instead its restricted for academic usage only. Better to spend time with other corpus'.
So if you don't sit through the commercials on TV, by say, taking a leak, you're a thief? What about tivo?

I think your theory has some holes in it.

Writing off the effects your actions have on the future production of things you like is plainly irrational. If a site you like has created a hostile viewing experience, let them know. If they continue with their misguided efforts, go ahead and block ads, but you should try to ensure that they are profitable by making an effort proportional to your enjoyment of the site. Try harder to get your message across. Send them money. Do something. Doing nothing but harming their revenue stream harms yourself.

If you block ads based on a broad, generic filter set, you're hurting the sites you enjoy reading, and you make no sense to me.
Join a local users group and go to meetings religiously. You will come to know who is who by attending these. Start small, take your smallest idea and work on it. it is going to be atrocious but that is a good thing, being able to design an iterative plan to get out of a poorly designed systems is one of the marks of a good developer. Resist the temptation to scrap it all and rewrite once you figure out what you are doing. Force yourself to encapsulate the system and modularize it so that you can replace it a piece at a time. The skills you will develop by forcing yourself to clean up your old work will be invaluable.
It's hard to imagine something that runs Windows 7 as an iPad rival. The iPad combines the tablet format with iPhone simplicity. Hint: you just can't rip the keyboard out of a Windows notebook and expect people love it.
Great...Thanks~
It's definitely a CPU hog. I'm not really an expert at debugging javascript performance issues, but if anybody has some suggestions on how to make it more efficient, I'm all ears.
It autocompletes the same thing for me. Leaky faucets are a common problem; I suspect this is a case of confirmation bias.

Far spookier is the autocompletion for "a pair of pl".
I think every space article I have read on HN has had a better write up by Phil linked in the comments.
This is something I've been wondering about - how can you use pre/postfix attacks on passwords? I can't see any obvious ways it would help, and googling hasn't produced any information.
Love the idea!

I think you should have some mention of how are revenues shared be it at 10-90 or 90-10. That was the first thing I went looking after.
That is pretty awesome to hear. Any plans to peer with other cloud providers? a la http://cloud-peering.com
Maybe its not that accurate to count it that way, but 1 in 10,000 would mean to the layman that every 10,000 times you do this you should expect 1 case of C19, and i do this at least 720 times at every delivery. With more than 20 deliveries through the pandemic last year i have potentially touched 14,400 contaminated items which would practically guarantee a case of C19. Now i know not all of these would be contaminated, but i don't know which or how much. And since delivery drivers in my area rarely wear masks even at the house, i don't have a high amount of confidence in any delivered items.

-To be honest i massively underestimated how often i touch some of these items in the first few days, coffee jars alone get touched 40+ times, jam and butter 12+, bread 18+, diluting squash 14+.
I think 4chan has much higher quality content on average.

Why do companies even store user data?

Any purchase I make, the shop needs my address and my payment info. It's always the same. Every browser can autofill it, if they bothered using the correct forms. Once the transaction is done, the invoice mailed and the product shipped - there is 0 need for this data to still be stored in their database.

-> Address and payment info - browser auto fill

-> purchase history - invoice via mail

I used to be heavily biased to buy from Amazon, since it is basically one click. But lately, I'm more and more buying from smaller online shops which provide checkout without user account.

I'm sure there is many things where you need to store user data, but also, there is definitely more things were user data is stored although it is not needed.

And ultimately, that is the spirit of GDPR - ask yourself if you really need to store that data.
It's a number that will cause them to sit up and take notice, without starting a multi-year legal war. It signals to booking.com and other companies that the regulator is not asleep. The implicit threat is: fix your behaviour, everyone, or worse fines will follow.

To be honest, I can live with that.
You've heard wrong. I went to a conference in Queenstown a month ago and the first person that spoke was involved in tourism operations there. The situation was bleak.

Here's the stats: http://snug.org.nz/assets/Uploads/03-SNUG-11-March-2021.pdf
Right, my suggestion is that it should. Yahoo’s settlement included identity protection or something along those lines. Disclosure to the customer might not always be enough.
And this rights should be solely reserved for physical human beings. Not for business entities.
Zimbabwe was a failed state before it had hyperinflation. i won't say that we get good answers on the difference between moderate and hyperinflation, but I am sure there is a difference.

Hyperinflation is just a good apocalyptic narrative device, and people (ab)use it.

edit: s/has/had
It shows the inefficiencies of the courts... whether it helps or hurts businesses or individuals doesn't matter.

Not providing an efficient and sufficiently staffed, well run court system is the crime here... and society pays the costs while never blaming the cause.

Note the rapid rise in arbitration and arbitration agreements-- it's a private system that is far more efficient, and thus a lot cheaper to get issues decided. This is why billion dollar companies have arbitration agreements-- they can afford the lawyers for a court battle and are big enough to get heard, but they'd rather have it settled (even not in their favor) by arbitration.
I'm curious, what is it that makes it Chrome only?

Looks like only CSS transition and animation is special cased for WebKit but that's been unprefixed in Firefox since years back.

https://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/07/aurora-16-is-out/

Edit:

Seems like getComputedStyle is buggy in Firefox?

« window.getComputedStyle($0).background
» ""
« window.getComputedStyle($0).backgroundColor
» "rgb(74, 144, 226)"
« window.getComputedStyle($0).backgroundImage
» "none"

$0 is the currently inspected element, in this case: .js-modal-2

Edit2:

Possibly "works as intended"?:

> getPropertyCSSValue is required to return null for these, and we implement getPropertyValue in terms of getPropertyCSSValue.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=889091

If so, the fix would be to use the actual attributes rather than the composite attribute.
Possibly. It depends on how well they do exports.
