Ah, so pay $3.5MM to retain those people ;)
I've heard of mailbox services that will collect your mail, scan and e-mail it to you, then shred whatever you don't need in physical form. A Google search for "mail scanning service" turned up Earth Class Mail and a few others; I might have to check them out.
Barclays Capital uses Haskell to describe equity derivative instrument payoffs: http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/3331
Are you in Cocos Islands? Maybe the downvoters assumed you're in the US?
How prepared are we for any large scale natural event?

Not prepared at all.

It's costs money to be prepared for things that might not ever happen. No CEO ever got fired for choosing profits, no CEO ever will get fired for choosing profits.
Then Apple is bad and Android is bad too. So the ethical choice is to buy neither. I'm not being facetious. I'm considering moving to pure AOSP based, Linux based, or just foregoing a smartphone entirely.
> The fruits rotted in the fields because they weren't worth picking.

That may be true, but why weren't they worth picking? In agriculture, large buyers often enforce artificially low prices (monopsony). Even if farmers were willing to pay pickers more, there's no point if the buyers refuse to pay a fair price that accounts for increased wages.
I guess I was in the early rollout. I was in the middle of designing a print layout about a month or two ago when firefox got updated. After a restart I suddenly was missing the print preview option in the menu to test my design. I was really glad to see that I could from now on just press Ctrl + P and get a much better experience.
Who knows. House was narrow so senate will be a battle.
I have wondered if AstraZenica ending the prescription copay support program last summer was in response to an anticipated huge patient increase due to covid.
As somewhat of a Python developer these days, I have to point out that each 3.something release of Python potentially breaks backwards compatibility.

Second issue is that Python without any extra modules is still pretty limited, nearly every serious python project comes with some extra dependencies.

So have a Python interpreter available only gets you so far...

(For the record, the same could be said about pretty much all dynamic languages I'm familiar with).
Permanently - is that still a word on the Internet?

Version control tends to be taught in the school of hard knocks.
From personal experience, Android phones are never that much of a "long-term" investment. Your phone will be pretty common place within 2-3 months, and will be far exceeded by better phones in around six months :)
After using emacs for some time, I find it very hard to use an environment that doesn't offer keyboard macros (quickly produced temporary programmable sequences of arbitrary commands, could do anything from altering the layout of each paragraph in a bunch of emails to subscribing to new mailing lists of a certain type or what have you). VI has something similar going on I hear.

Also, the unified UI of the emacs operating system[1] is hard to beat. Everything Is Text, so any portion of an interface can be copy-pasted and manipulated as text, sent through other commands, etc. (Again, using vi + screen and combinations of terminal commands can also achieve something like this.)

Lastly, the interface is not really 30 years old. I would never use the first edition of GNU EMACS -- it barely has any of the features I've become so dependent on. Would you use the first mouse-based Xerox UI? It's essentially the same as the mouse-based interfaces we have now...

[1] To me it feels like I'm running two operating systems at once: emacs, and Anything Else. But I hear some people just use it to edit text.
Duplicate it at no cost to anyone except yourself, I think you mean.

It often does cost time and money to pirate things.

And now that RepRap and similar 3D object printers are becoming more popular, they will continue to come down in price. It won't be long before printing physical items is a possibility, and then wholesale pirating of things that used to be protected by patents will start.

And if you're having trouble imagining that happening, don't worry. It was just as hard to imagine music piracy before MP3s. It happened on a VERY small scale before that due to difficulty and media cost.
If the experiment is opt-in, there will surely be a bias in the sample population. In this case, the strategy will select risk-seeking individuals, because risk-averse ones will not want to participate.
It turns out that Java synchronizes on accept() capping the number of socket accepts that can made each second on a single port.

But even if that would be solved or if you used something more low-level like, say nginx, you'd still be limited of how fast you can accept().

Try using ApacheBench and hit one server with keep-alive on and off respectively. Even nginx, which I would say is a performant web server, show quite some discrepancies between having to reconnect each time and having a permanent connection.

I file this under the penalty of having to set up and tear down a socket each time.
Something that only can be avoided by doing less reconnecting.

I could of course be wrong but these are the findings from doing performance testing and discussing it on the Netty mailing list. But I'd gladly accept suggestions on how to improve this situation for our service.
Thirty years ago the atterney general for Maryland, Steve Sachs, hassled a couple of the big local department stores into agreements restricting this sort of behavior.
Nice site. Interesting to see the information clearly laid out like that. This should exist for everything as a decision making tool.

It's not an either-or. We have a vet, but we still do our research on everything they recommend to understand the decisions that are being made. It all works very well for us. We're informed, but we also have a trusted adviser.
A lot of the financial transaction laws are contemporaneous with RICO, and were aimed at organized crime which is as a huge problem back then. Mafia families were conducting hits in midtown Manhattan back in the 1970's, in highly public places like high end restaurants. This is pre-1980's escalation of the drug war too.
Probably years after it was implemented too

Edit: but back in the 70s the USPTO didn't have the search databases they had in the 90s or 2000s. It's more the XOR patent being wielded in litigation that was extra controversial
1. Not sure. I'm sure you can find something but not that I know of. Sounds like something that should exist.
2. I think of versioning as a two way process (at least for internal APIs): adding fields and removing fields. Removing fields could break your client but that's where the awesomeness of GraphQL shines. You know all the fields that are being consumed by your consumer so you can safely remove fields that are not being consumed. You can also mark fields as deprecated and this library logs a warning whenever a consumer is using that field. This property of explicitly asking for fields does not exist for protobuf so it's very difficult to remove fields.

More on this here: https://graphql-eventbus.vercel.app/docs/principles/thinking...

hope it makes sense!
You could bridge Signal with Matrix and then use two Matrix clients.

Quite a workaround, but should work ;-)
It depends a lot on the type of product and the particular market. You shouldn't underestimate the inertia of something that's 'good enough'. If you're not one of the early ones then something about your product will likely need to be significantly better in some aspect.
Vonnegut's take on it in Breakfast of Champions seems right:

"I will come to a time in my backwards trip when November eleventh, accidentally my birthday, was a sacred day called Armistice Day. When I was a boy, and when Dwayne Hoover was a boy, all the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

It was during that minute in nineteen hundred and eighteen, that millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another. I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the Voice of God. So we still have among us some men who can remember when God spoke clearly to mankind.

Armistice Day has become Veterans’ Day. Armistice Day was sacred. Veterans’ Day is not.

So I will throw Veterans’ Day over my shoulder. Armistice Day I will keep. I don’t want to throw away any sacred things.

What else is sacred? Oh, Romeo and Juliet, for instance.

And all music is."

---

The celebration of the armistice is sacred. The jingoism that has been introduced since is utterly profane.
I think a better example would be Btrfs. Facebook hired the lead Btrfs devs and they are still contributing to Btrfs development. And this is because Facebook is very interested in Btrfs themselves.
Solid link. Thanks. Bookmarked.
I think bitshares has a lot to offer, but at the end of the day, someone still needs to maintain a brick-and-mortar bank account for people to send their fiat deposits to. As long as people still need to exchange fiat, there is no way of avoiding counterparty risk for an exchange (even if the "exchange" is an arbitrary peer)
Meh. "The real thing is using 3-4 gems. That’s it." - So how did those gems get on the server? How do you know which gem versions the app should use without a Gemfile(.lock), and how do the versions of gems and ruby itself get updated for bug/security fixes?
If you only need a management UI for SQLite, the Firefox addon SQLite Manager[0] is a good choice, and it's free.

Hence why I called it a "warm" wallet. It would online but isolated from other systems.
Surely you should know the problems if you are working for an anti-scraping company.... Anyway...

Most people who own small website dont necessarily know there website is being scrapped on a daily basis (talking sole traders, tiny businesses). If they are paying for adwords or local advertising through parish or county community websites then they may think they are getting bang for the buck than they actually think. If they get 10 visitors a day and 8 of those are scrapers what does this really mean for there advertising revenue. Obviously they should be basing there return on investment against revenue but still a website is seen as a big thing for most small businesses.
Except for 8.0.1 which hosed cell service for everyone.

However, Apple was able to pull the update within hours and release a fix the next day.
Take a dollar from the middle, and give ten cents to the bottom. This way the top gets to keep 90¢ and look like the hero!

To be fair, it's what has always done. But this makes ck2 "jaded"? I am disappointed that so many people agree with you. Maybe the bottom wouldn't be so poor if there were some well off people who lived next to them and could help them out when they really needed it. Moving 90¢ from Bangalore to Tokyo / New York / Los Angeles reduces the local wealth a lot more than sending 10¢ back.
I think stewart lee managed it with his 2006 show "90s Comedian," mainly for the last 30 minutes. The subject matter is pretty nasty, I'm not going to reprint it here for fear of bringing up peoples breakfasts, but the reason it was shocking was because there's no punchline. He doesn't even look like he's enjoying himself, he just slogs through this half hour of stomach churning material, with no payoff at all. It's genuinely difficult to deal with, even if the subject matter doesn't "offend" you.

Lee can sometimes be annoying and pretentious, but that show is a masterclass in "shock" humor in a way that the likes of Boyle et al can't or won't do. Johnny Vegas is good at it too.

There's still a thick layer of irony covering it all though. I think the only way you could make truly shocking art now would be to cut your own throat live on stage or something.
It's a self-contained website. Browsers these days are so bloated that I would be surprised if it didn't lag.
Just found out about http://www.undox.me this weekend from the 24hr Pando Daily event #dontbeawful

I remember the difference happening about 12 years ago, though my neighborhood was probably behind the times somewhat. I remember that some of my fellow 7th graders and I were used to the old meaning, but it wasn't too hard to transition to the new one since we didn't really use it much anyway. Also, I remember a trailer for Bicentennial Man (1999) using the more "evocative" meaning.
"I live in the UK where carrying deadly weapons isn't seen as a right."

TorchMobile had a good port of webkit on WindowsCE with a good browser. RIM bought them and killed the application. Lots of users were sad but the port is not dead from the webkit repository perspective.
Uh, what? Wilson Miner designed the Django admin interface (and the Django site, and Everyblock, etc.):

It's force per unit area, sounds like pressure.
My prognostication: Microsoft will get huge market-share, but will do so largely at the expense of RIM/Blackberry.

RIM could respond by extracting the good parts of the Blackberry infrastructure and licensing these to companies with Android phones and by exploiting greater openness on the Windows Phone 7 platform. In essence, RIM gets out of the device business and transitions into the business mobile networking infrastructure business using various platforms as a substrate.
Hedge funds engage in day trading, and there's many successful hedge funds. So the expected value can be positive if you're sufficiently skilled.
Besides that, supply IS elastic in the longer term. So if the rich were able to bid the price up, there would be folks able to make a bunch of money selling power to them, reducing the cost. And that opportunity should be available to most people. If we had standardized feed-in capability on smart meters, whole house generators, solar roofs and batteries, or even cars could sell electricity on the grid when the wholesale price got insane.

Poor folks would be insulated from the large swings in price by the 25-50% guaranteed price portion of the power supply. (And you could make the price guarantee portion progressive by making it a constant 3kW (averaged over an hour) or whatever regardless of house size, so smaller houses would have much more of their electricity at a fixed rate than larger houses.)
> that's true that it's possible to "tie the knot" with laziness and build circular or self references in functional languages

I wonder if it would be possible to construct a practical functional language that never does so. I imagine not.

> I didn't mean to make a claim that extended past the limits of the system I built

I don't think you did, I was just wondering how much further the idea could be taken.
Especially ones that are wildly monied/connected, and ones that Western apparatuses are used to allowing to skirt justice regularly.
Don’t tell the IRS. Wearing shoes is now realizing capital gains.
Do you mind giving an example of what do you aliases do?
As someone who had been building large react applications for a living for the better part of a decade, I’m inclined to agree.

React has been a massive success and I don’t plan on switching anytime soon, but it’s one of the few libraries that I cannot make heads or tails of the source code in a relatively quickly scan.

I think it will eventually buckle under its own weight.
Indeed. Politicians are elected by people to enact their agenda and views. Enough dumb people will vote in dumb politicians.
"already manufactured in large scale"

People who need it for medical conditions are finding it impossible to find. Not sure how large the production is.

Any treatment that is found to actually be effective in real studies is pretty clearly going to be nationalized, recreated by countries around the globe, and mass produced overnight.
That does not seem like a very generous interpretation.

I'd wager that most of Discord's clientele don't have any specific expectations for the word "server". Regardless, I think "server" was carried over from the Mumble / Ventrilo / Teamspeak gaming community.

I don't think I would call scheme "web-oriented".
If the site takes twenty seconds on a D525, it's probably pretty demanding server-side and will require solid hardware to deliver many requests at good performance. Imagine if you're using a machine twenty times faster than the D525 (i.e. a modern desktop CPU), assuming linear speedup you can generate the page in one second. That's one second per pageload per user, and that modern machine is going to likely choke up too if the site gets decent traffic.
Thanks for addressing my concerns point wise! I have been a little worried about the stock option move ever since I have come to know about it. It has been the only sort of red flag as of yet about the leadership, but I will keep your words in mind and see if there is a trend. You have given very actionable advice. I guess talking to them about this should be my first step in any scenario I proceed with.
I just looked more deeply into the update cycle of Sublime and apparently the dev channel has weekly updates.

I guess that they haven't been good at communicating that they are not in hiatus!
I’d say one of the most interesting jobs in my social orbit is a friend who works in material sciences for 3M - while it’s not all “Eureka” moments he does a lot of fun work trying to solve specific problems with the products 3M sells. The real interesting stuff he talks about is in the oddly specific use cases.
when i used LPTHW I found him very helpful on the limited occasions i contacted him, LPTHW is also an excellent resource.

Dont judge a books value by your opinions of the author.
> 1) such capacity simply does not exist

Germany is able to conduct more than 160,000 tests per week. I do not know the numbers for Italy, but why shouldn't they be able to reach that number over 2-3 weeks?
Instead of open-sourcing, shouldn't we just give them as much funding as possible to manufacture as quickly as possible? This isn't software. You can't just `git clone` their repo, and random indie hackers 3D printing things that seem to work might do more harm than good.
Not really. In the case of vowels, spoken language always had sounds in those places; the innovation lay only in writing them down, rather than leaving them implicit. In the case of zero, the innovation lay in the concept itself.

While this is true, I wonder if this is not partly because the European countries were quite busy organising themselves and were anticipating an urgent but unknown need for their own population.

China has a retrospective of three months and has stabilized the situation. They know what they are facing and the resources needed, and have even started to dismantle the temporary hospitals they set up in January.

What can the individual European countries offer? They, like the Americans, have outsourced their production to China. Any masks, nurses or respirators they have, they will need themselves. They can offer 'money', which may not buy more masks but can help against the economic impacts.

And this is what is happening. The EU has both released monetary aids, and indicated that fiscal restraint rules will be waived.
Not having enough money to transact would definitely have suppressed our economic growth, but then again maybe we would have gotten really good at mining for gold to make up for it
Actually, I have answered my own question off-line. Thank you, again, for your reply.
Why would you say duped? Is there some major problem with mongoDB? The way you've stated this makes it sound like there's some common knowledge I should be aware of.
We hope so too :)
If somehow Cx doesn't live up to its promises and what you expect from it, please let us know! We're still improving it based on the feedback we get. Thanks!
It is definitely on us to prove that we'll provide long term support for the modules that we're developing, but we're also opening up documentation and reference designs for things like our Expansion Card system. If something ever happens to us, other companies and the community can continue to use and extend the ecosystem.

We designed the Expansion Cards in a way that it's possible to 3D print the housings for them on a home 3D printer and get PCBs fabbed through the normal hobby channels. We hope that folks in the community come up with interesting card ideas and bring them out themselves in addition to what we develop.
Ragged edges make it easier to detect different lines of text, because you can see the lengths easily.

Another way of looking at it is in the Y dimension. It's almost gospel now that we read fluently by scanning the tops of letters, so having letters of varying heights and upper shape improves readability. Turning this around, it might be fair to intuit that ragged right provides similar benefits in vertical scanning and place keeping.

Maybe, you should increase the line height to around 1.5 of the font size for readability.

Whoa. Your pricing is way out of whack.

As soon as I hit the page, every good thought I had about your service went down the tubes. It looks like you'll nickel and dime me around every corner. It's crazy complicated. Not to mention it seems expensive.

In my opinion, it should be $9 per month and you just get it all, done deal.

Are you eating your own dog food here? Why couldn't I find your feedback site for your site?
I'm sure many have done so with Google stock after reading about free lunches, bean bag chairs and noticing the April Fool's pranks.
kissinsights.com makes it really easy to participate. They also integrate it into the site, which is something you (OP) should consider.
It's probably just network congestion.
I want a Ubik button.
Not really. He's just using that to note that JS is not really a Lispy language because of this. My choice for "why JS != Lisp" is how the Array functions return whatever you passed to them and not the array itself, so you can't write single-expression multi-modifications to an array. Unless you use the hellish Array.splice method. Which I'd argue is even worse.
It is optional, we use Stripe, Apple gets nothing. I am surprised there are people in software that don't know this.
