Think of your velocity vector as having a time component. The magnitude of this vector is c, so when you are at rest, you're moving full speed through time. When you accelerate, you shift some of this speed into the spatial dimensions. This is also why time passes more slowly for moving objects. Gravity also has this effect because not only is space curved, but space-time is curved. This means what would normally be a straight path through time is partially warped into the spatial dimensions when you encounter such a curvature.
But that’s not back in the office in terms of anything involving collaboration, it’s just getting out of the house. I think no companies would foot the bill for this. It’s more expensive than the amortized cost of an office and misses the key features that being in person brings.
Would be even more worrying if macOS or iOS also had these sort of bugs in the bluetooth stack. Plenty of iOS/Mac users using AirPods these days since Apple removed the headphone jack. Bluetooth is already turned on in the default install.

Going to put this comment here as a reference to quote later when I see a zero click RCE for iOS devices using Bluetooth for drive-by exploitation.
I have always heard that Haskell has fewer LOC than something like C++. I was quite skeptical when someone told me, that if we count words instead, they are pretty comparable, but based on a few projects, it is absolutely true. I haven’t tested it regarding Clojure, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that would be the case here as well (maybe somewhat less due to not having typenames?)
The APK is really not that hard to find... https://signal.org/android/apk/

That page also states "Advanced users with special needs can download the Signal APK directly. Most users should not do this under normal circumstances." which IMO is a very good point. Downloading random APKs from the internet is rarely a good idea...
It is both ludicrous and offensive to suggest that the things we're seeing now are in any way a consequence of curtailing hateful speech.
In my current team we’re exactly on the opposite situation. Daily standup is the only agile-like meeting that works for us.

The rest of meetings have converged into a weird thing were everyone is interrogated about the tasks needed until the release, and everyone has learned quickly that the trick is listing your tasks in excruciating detail, because they will be valued at least 1 point, and you can inflate your way up into doing little while looking very busy.

Then we collectively assign point estimates, which is a nuisance because everyone is making the estimates in hours and then trying to convert to points with a very impractical 5/8 ratio, and also completely pointless because our team is so diverse and specialized, that no one really understands their tasks except themselves.

In the whole, I’ve estimated to be losing about 2 full days every 10 working days into this madness, while no clarity is gained. We (still) discover our blockers on our daily meetings and have enough backlog that blockers just imply reshuffling the work around.
Meh, the network of choices and outcomes you took couldn't have been pre-planned, but the attitude and work ethic that made you work on the skills, capabilities, mindset, etc and made you take action despite major setbacks had nothing to do with luck. To think otherwise is to deny your own agency.
I am a 20-something who lives alone in a small studio apartment. I work at a tiny desk and barely have room for all my work equipment. still, I love working from home and I hope never to go back to the office. as soon as I get the message that this situation can go on indefinitely, I will buy a bigger desk and possibly shop for a larger apartment when my lease is up.

your experience is valid, but don't assume you speak for everyone in our cohort. I hope once quarantine is over, you and I will both have the freedom to find the work environment that suits each of us best.

The technology is cool, but I don't really know if I want KYC regulatory risk in my encrypted messaging client. I just want italics.
Standup is a wedge into the calendars of people with impossible calendars. If there is something to discuss with them the options are talk about it in standup, wait for the next weekly sync on the topic, or try to play calendar tetris to get an ad hoc meeting in the next couple of weeks. Talking about it in standup clearly wins here. So standups get long.
Some backward companies will call their employees back to the office. They will lose: maintaining on site employees in high-cost cities will be so much more expensive than recruiting from a vast global pool of people that don't require an office at all.

The sentiments of the employees won't matter much (many will prefer remote work, many won't). Bottom line is that the companies that develop remote work routines and strategies will win.

> where nothing gets written down

This is a big problem. More often than not "institutional knowledge" is short hand for "I'm too lazy to write this down, hope I don't get hit by a bus!"

People pretend like writing wasn't invented thousands of years ago.
I have been working on two projects targeting university niche and after months these are my observations.
Universities are managed like kingdoms, not republics. The deans and professors have absolute power, students do not get a say.
Even if students could rise their voices they prefer not to rise their voice as their degree (and parents' money) are on the line.
Professors and deans like to keep things run the old way, everything with pen on paper. The less technology involved the more they enjoy their life. (I think this is because these guys are mainly 50+ and those types do not like to scratch things they've known for 30 years and learn new technological stuff)
Technology makes things more transparent and more data available to people that university thinks should not be.
I think technological innovation will start to boost in universities in like 20 years when students of my age who enjoys technology in every bit of their life become professors and deans, etc.

With the previous version it was simply mixing about 1.5L of water with a bag of powder, shaking vigorously, then adding oil and about .5L of water, and finally shaking and cooling. Now the step with the oil is out, and it's a just add water and shake.
Naked Economics[1] is a good basic introduction. Hayek's Road to Serfdom[2] is also a key text if you want a historically embedded one. An interesting point about it is that Orwell reviewed it, with qualified praise, shortly before writing 1984. Like 1984 it is wider in its scope (i.e. even if you had the bandwidth and the models, how do you stop the people running them from becoming corrupt?). Finally "From Marx to Mises: Post-capitalist society and the challenge of economic calculation"[3] has a very comprehensive review of many aspects of the debate.

The way trackers work these days is that they do not have their own domains (fqdn) anymore.

There is a CNAME tracker.example.com and a CNAME tracker.example.org which both point to the same tracker IP by a third-party.

This allows them to infiltrate both site caches because - as I understand it - the sharded caches do not separate the third party domains there, as the Browser still thinks that tracker.example.com belongs to example.com.

They will probably have two separate ETag values for the same URL, but in both scenarios the cross-site protection mechanisms are basically nullified. Things like cross site cookies aren't necessary anymore because the public suffix list alone mandates that those domains are actually second-party domains by the same first-party origin.

I've seen some trackers going as far as abusing the resource lifetimes (Last-Modified and Pragma/Cache related headers) where they use a timestamp far in the past (aka in the 1980s) and "reserving this millisecond" as a unique identifier for a specific client that they're tracking...in order to bypass the implementations that try to prevent this kind of tracking via HTTP headers.
> It's not a coincidence that the political party whose leaders claimed that covid is a hoax is also the political party writing legislation to censor teachers and ban books.

Both of those are misleading half-truths, but that is better discussed in another thread.
Yeah that makes sense to me. Wouldn't be surprised if the officials were themselves buying those wine bricks by the box.

So this could work in general in cases where at a high level (federal) the legislation satisfies some puritanical ideological goals, but individually, or at the local/state level, nobody really buys into it so its enforcement is so so.
I'm enjoying the LotR theme!

Context Free Art is really nice to play with because of its integrated editor-viewer and the immediacy, and we even used it a little during our first Coding Goûter sessions with kids. The main obstacle we found when trying to use it with beginners (kids and adults) is the lack of code example that are easy to tweak and build upon (ie. cool but simple, not too optimized, and with holes to fill). Most examples are prowess, very clever code. It makes for great demos but it's less useful as a learning code for beginners.
I don't think they're breaking into their system at all. They're just abusing a public interface on their sight. A more apt analogy would be repeatedly calling their phone, or ringing their doorbell nonstop. Your analogy implies they are destroying GitHub's property, which they aren't.
What exactly you would expect city budget to be spent on, if city would eliminate needs for supporting infrastructure? Also, why having more infrastructure is automatically bad?
I recently told a friend who is also learning to program that using frameworks is like driving a speedboat, and he was still learning to swim. Yes, the point is that they get you down the coastline faster, but if it springs a leak, it will be really bad to not know how to swim.
"That so-called privilege doesn't come from the Constitution or from statute."

This is highly misleading, as it ignores the role that court cases play as precedent in common law jurisdictions. United States v Reynolds, for starters.
Try hitting a moving target at 40 metres. You'll probably miss. He'll probably miss as well, but he'll have a significant edge being able to shoot while moving closer towards the other archer.

Kyudo is a very nice and sort of meditative experience. I'm guessing it's the same for other forms of stationary archery. It'll really teach you how to work your bow. Slowly and methodically. No one who practices kyudo expects to be able to fight a battle with it. This guy pretty much shows why.
> Because it's appointed elites deciding how the government should be run?

Yes, and?

I agree; but you asked "Why does the UK still have the house of the Lords?" - why would that make the House of Lords vanish?

The point that I am making is that the British establishment has a very strong bias in favour of the status quo; i.e against change. Especially change that doesn't benefit them.

Something that has existed for centuries doesn't just stop existing even if you and I don't like it. Adhering to tradition is a tradition. Something has to happen to make it stop, and that thing has to be strong enough to overcome the establishment's inertia.
Where would you start out these days in the "world of game"? I also got an undergrad degree in math essentially without trying and have had some rough periods making it to adulthood without any work ethic but I think I've recovered and have built up a pretty successful programming career.

However, I have absolutely no ability to attract women and have experienced nothing but rejection for the last couple of years, and I may be beyond what game can fix. My problem is social awkwardness and it's the kind that runs all the way down - with people I am very comfortable with I am still very quiet, inarticulate, and don't have much ability to do conversational improvisation. Being in extremely good physical shape didn't make a difference and I've done Salsa too, where I'm literally always the last person women pick when they're all asked to partner up. I've done a year on internet personals with only rejection, and the same with speed dating - typical results would be me checking off 15/25 girls as yes and getting zero matches. I'm extremely non-picky with women. Everyone I meet likes me, but for sexual interest? Forget it. I'd love to be exactly the person I want, and socialize with women the way I would with men (i.e. just not giving a shit and saying what I want to) but this obviously isn't working for me! So gaming the evo-psychology system seems to be one of the few possibilities left.

Make sure you move the camera (click-and-drag) and the objects in the scene (click to select then drag the bounding box).
Perhaps rule -1 then might be "you can't always predict who the assholes are."
Isn't that impossible though?

I'm not 100% on this but I thought that because Reddit isn't hosted on the 'deep web' (ie no .onion address) you lose a layer of protection visiting it even over Tor, compared to sites that are hosted on Tor. It's still safer, but it's not the same, right?

Anyway, it's inevitable that some people are better at anonymising themselves than others, so even if they all try to do so, there's going to be at least some users who do it badly and wind up being arrested.

It's also inevitable that 100% of people who are confident enough to buy drugs online think that they have done everything correctly.

i would say go for node.js because,
1.c style syntax
2.nodejs is itself evolving
3.you can learn serverside scripting
4.event based design
5.very good framework for deploying web apps
I made a similar leap from C/C++ and C# without much web development a year ago. I have since developed several projects using both Rails and Sinatra using both ActiveRecord and DataMapper for ORM. The Sinatra/ActiveRecord combination is my current default.

In general, ORM pain decreases significantly as soon as you go with a dynamic language like Ruby or Python. Hibernate nearly made my head explode the first time I saw it.

In summary: I would recommend Ruby, Sinatra and DataMapper as a starting point.
I gave up on deploying my node.js app to Azure after finding that several modules I was using were simply not possible to run on Windows. Wasn't worth the trouble to refactor and avoid these dependencies.

Windows is not a priority for most node.js devs, so unless you're doing something pretty simple/mainstream, you're likely to run into trouble.
The idea that we have "no idea" what life could look like out there in the universe is grossly oversold. We actually can put a lot of bounds on them, using rigorous mathematics, and discuss them despite not necessarily knowing all the chemical details.

Do you have any sources that discuss this?
This is a great idea. I'd definitely use it... IF it had a key feature that I think it's missing. I envision myself using something like this to plan a meeting. So say I'm a boss and I want to see when my employees are free. Right now as the site stands, they all send me their "thesetimes" and then I have to look at each one and then figure out where the free time slots are. What it should be is that as a boss, I send one out to all the employees, they fill out their busy times, and then as the boss I can see all the total busy times of all my employees overlaid so I know when I can schedule the meeting. At least this is how I envision something like this being useful, not just simply sending one persons free/open times, but that is definitely a good use case also.

Some bugs:

- click and drag a time down, but while moving your cursor to the right of the actual day you clicked on, let go, then click and drag down again real quick. You made two times, but they are linked now for some reason. They also delete together.

- permalink is not working

- i can drag outside the borders

- some other real weird funky stuff going on with the dragging. probably have to clean up a buncha bugs in your jquery

Other nice to haves/things to consider:

- drag up

- a line that shows where your cursor is hovering over with the time tooltipped or something like that, it's all approximate right now

- i never liked the term permalink. i think just link works better. but this is just my personal opinion.

Good start though! Good luck.
This is actually what I use Tungle.me for (especially since it syncs with Google Calendar), but if RIM kills it you might have a golden opportunity :)
FNA was forked from MonoGame by flibitijibibo. While MonoGame uses OpenTK for desktop platforms and supports additional platforms with platform-specific APIs, FNA has been streamlined (support for all mobile / console platforms has been removed) and it simply uses SDL2.

OpenTK was until recently an unmaintained C# project. SDL2 on the other hand is a very robust C library, it's been used to ship many commercial games on Steam on all desktop platforms. On top of that, flibitijibibo is being paid to port many XNA games so he's had time to inspect, clean up and improve almost all aspects of the framework in a more methodical fashion that MonoGame's organic development style.
Alright, I'll be the first to say it: this is a little self-absorbed, at least based on the description, yeah?

My own experience hasn't seen much correlation between politics and NIMBYism in Houston. I don't know much about the Woodlands, but I've spend a good number of years in Clear Lake, which is conservative and opposed to development of anything other than suburban-style, single-family homes (it was also privately developed, by a subsidiary of Exxon, who set up the anti-redevelopment deed restrictions). That's done mostly through the weird quasi-municipal-politics of the homeowners' associations though rather than "regular" politics. The homeowners' associations seem to be almost all controlled by people who really want to maintain a kind of wealthy-suburban-enclave feel, and are scared that allowing apartment complexes to be built, or relaxing anti-rental regulations, might result in "the wrong kind of people" moving in to their neighborhood.

I agree the west-side are pretty anti-development, but again that seems to go across the whole political spectrum, from liberals in Montrose to conservatives in River Oaks. Even John Culberson (R, 7th district) has gotten himself involved in west-side NIMBY causes.
Inexperienced programmers sometimes can have a dysfunctional, almost worshipful, relationship with complexity. They're entering an industry riddled with complexity, most of it way over their heads, and they're in awe. So when they write complicated code themselves, they almost take it as a point of pride. I wrote this massive, tangled 300-line function that actually works, by god.
The film "Jesus Camp" gives a few examples of fundamentalists who use home schooling as an excuse to indoctrinate their children with weird untruths or odd beliefs. (On top of the reasonable teaching of their religion).

The film "Waiting for Superman" shows how terrible US schools are, and why so many people make the reasonable choice to home-school.

It doesn't feel like people always put the child's needs first.

I have made a simple game using Akihabara: http://kilianvalkhof.com/ktype2/ (mind you, "a" is "z" on your keyboard, and you use it to shoot, too. one of the frameworks idiosyncrasies)

It's...undocumented. That's really the most I can make of it, now. I have promised to work on helping document it, which I will try to do over the holidays, but as of now, you pretty much have to read the entire code, and you'd still have no idea how the creator wants each piece to fit in with the other pieces (if you check my source code, note how, for example, I circumvent the build-in health system simply because I don't know how it works)
Confirmed! I find one of the most useful things to do when i'm not making much progress is to take a walk and think about the problem away from the computer. Often times I find a much simpler solution than what I was trying before.
