407.32 this is the best I've seen. The guy who made it got 461, though, so I think he's got the high score. I did get 438.34 on this: http://stockjump.sos.gd/?symbol=035420.KS&currency=KRW&name=...

Seems that S. Koren stocks have spiked in just the right way for optimal jumping.
I think only the sharp decline to build up speed counts. Allegion PLC has just that: http://stockjump.sos.gd/?symbol=ALLEN.MX&currency=MXN&name=A...

Just jump on the flat at the end gets me over 700.
I think this is a great idea.

I also think it was pretty horrible to prevent shipments of non-essential items from 3rd-party sellers (we can still purchase these items now, but sellers can no longer ship these items to amazon FBA warehouses).

Many of these sellers will now have to layoff their own staff, because they will be unable to make payroll/ship out products.

While you may not be able to do transforms on the output via `sed` or `awk`, you can get a grep-like filtering by using the `&` character with `less` open.

We don’t like to talk about this: but modulo all the usual turf wars around libraries and attribution and where the braces go: serious Haskell people skew smart and capable.

This comes with downsides around dicking around with trying to jam every part of the computation into the type system (not unlike C++ template meta programming).

But net/net, when a GHC contributor rolls up his or her sleeves, they on average have a bigger range than people who argue about ReactJS vs Ember.

Source: worked on one of the biggest production Haskell code bases on Earth, was involved in early design discussions on both React and Ember, and wrote big pieces of an ECMA-262 compiler/VM.

Haskell people skew smarter than most other languages.

Sorry for saying it out loud.
Only if you want to play the game, there are plenty of jobs using vanilaJS and <script ...> still works.
Yeah. When I read things like US schools expecting parents to have Facebook, I am like "WHAT?!". Facebook isn't required for much at all in Germany. I don't use it, I'm fine. Focused services such as Meetup.com, Doodle, (WhatsApp), Signal, eBay Kleinanzeigen (classifieds), Google Maps... cover the things that I hear people using Facebook for.
> they're spending a lot for things like building factories

Building factories is CapEx. CapEx does NOT affect profits, only cash flow.

Factories indirectly hurt profits through depreciation. But its a very round-about way of doing things. The important thing is that profits / loss is a forward looking statement implicitly.
To be fair, the left didn't want Obamacare, the left wanted European-style nationalized healthcare. Obamacare was more the result of sabotage by the Republicans and desperate compromises made by Obama for the sake of his legacy than actual leftist policy.
TI is about 10 years ahead of Intel, but rest assured we will be commenting on threads about Intel doing things like this in 10 years or less

This is a terrible take.

State media from countries without free press doesn’t really have a chance to be independent (and thus not reliable).

It’s not really about US or UK it’s about countries with a reasonably free press vs countries without.

If I want a perspective from Russia, there are outlets other than RT to look at.
The UK had laws which were much more favorable to people who sue alleging slander or libel, and they caused significant problems which led to their being substantially changed.

Edit to note: the kinds of changes you’re suggesting seem great when the plaintiff is a small company suing the New York Times, but what about when a very large company sues a small newspaper or blog?
I don't see why they'd be exempt, generally. Obviously they only need to certify the changes that make it to production but, yeah, that still seems like more than other automakers.

I'm guessing one advantage Tesla has over traditional automakers is their entire company has been built around the existing regulatory environment. I'd be willing to bet their recertification process is quite streamlined compared to companies that have iteratively patched it on to their tradition vehicle design processes. Just a guess though; I have no background knowledge on this topic.
I was being a smartass, which wasn't fair to angersocks.

My point is that I can load up Sublime Text or Brackets or this (maybe?) and work in a very efficient way.
The land is not actually a parking lot but is grassy and open and is effectively a park right now. It actually adds quite a bit of value to the neighborhood as it is IMO. Also, the PDC did not offer it to anyone else at that price, just Trader Joes.

Would I be equally in the wrong for making small talk because I was bored?
Congratulations, but some sceptical notes.

The spring is coming, ending the wave like last year. This can reduce the cases by a similar amount. We will have to wait till next season what will happen. The sun and season has a dramatic influence on Covid. We saw that last year. Related with vitamin-D and ultra-violet radiation.

Recently some countries had changes in PCR tests. Austria had a similar reduction after not using the PCR tests. They had 95% false positives on PCR, compared to other tests.
The PCR is problematic due to the usage of far too many cycles. When testing random persons, it gives 95% false positives over 35 cycles, but many countries even use 45 cycles or more. Sadly, using too many cycles is not scientific evidence for anything.

Many countries also reached a natural herd immunity. Sweden is now very close to getting 60% anti-body herd immunity. Besides that we have T-cell herd-immunity of which we do not know that much. I already had covid, got my anti-bodies & T-cell-immunity and am now fully immune.

Probably not applicable to Israel. Certain countries use cheap old-school medicine that prevent the disease. Like India and Ghana. Changes in medicine-use give similar changes in cases. If you don't believe it, just talk to some people that live there. They do not have a covid problem. IMHO this is the best but least profitable way to deal with the disease.

Controversial: The vaccines can give strong fevers. This is a well known side-effect. These might have thinned out the weakest people. Which now did not catch covid. While I think the effect is small, it can give a temporary reduction of the cases. I hope the medicine companies will improve the vaccines, so we do not get these side-effects.

The difference between these can be subtle and depends on raw data. But statistical analysis can already show some details.
One of the major reasons for the independence of the United States from the United Kingdom was a tax revolt. Anti-tax opinion is deeply rooted in the culture for better or worse.
My experience in Germany may not be typical. But with the EU's higher taxes, 80% indeed goes down to 50%. However if you have kids, the numbers climb up again because, at least in Germany, you get "Kindergeld" and "Elterngeld" and state-sponsored day-care (Kita) for your kid(s). Plus, 30-days a year vacation standard, you get walkable cities, very good public transportation (so, no car costs) AND you get to take inexpensive weekend trips to Greece, London, Prague, or wherever you want to go. It's up to you to compute that value.
The side effect of this amazing BioNTech/Pfizer success: Meanwhile AstraZeneca is clearly only the second choice. At least locally here in my town (EU) people line up for Biontech, but the vaccination centers that offer AstraZeneca report up to 50% no shows.
Maybe you're relying on your ORM object to have all columns available, even when you add more, and you're in for a good time.
I also didn't mean to be snarky, but E-521 is far too estoric a choice to be casually dropped in without comment. I am fairly sure BLS curves see more use :)

If we're not careful some hodlgang hooligan will have this implemented (badly) in Rust in 30 seconds!

This is how I read it too. It must be an incredibly painful state to be in, whether one is actually a genius or just a narcassist.
That'll be why atheism is not the final step in understanding the world and/or your/our place in it. Next?

For my interest making some of the low level processes more understandable would be great.

Recently I came across a sysadvent article on stracing 'ls' it was exactly the kind of thing that is useful to me. (quite probably an HN or reddit/r/programming link)

Also in the "Land of Lisp" book learning what the bit operator 'ash' does was a real eye-opener.

Both of these things are pretty basic for someone with a CS or EE background. But I think a lot of sysadmins come from other backgrounds. A bit more than a decade ago I was a grad student in a Literature department and found myself inexplicably attracted to Linux, OpenSource and started to try and extricate myself from Windows gui-ness. Eventually landed a sysadmin job about 5 yrs ago after taking some CS courses and some DIY learning.

In short I have real weaknesses in math and low level understanding of what is happening at the kernel level - I really treasure things like the 2 mentioned articles as they shed light on what is going on at a lower level.
Does Diffuse have three-panel merge?
That is ridiculous. You can say that the the second decade of the 21st Century started in 2011... but to pretend that the 201x decade started in 2011 is not even wrong.
Well, I don't know how smart is to piss off people with nuclear material, and not to much to lose. Attack other nation territory is considered a Casus belli.
That made me want to read a bit more about comments.

Yesterday's case was even worse because this same guy would sit with a colleague and discuss the house she's buying and other things in the middle of doing his own work (and he's charging his clients for his time and I'm sure he's not charging for such downtime), which I found particularly galling as a real double standard on downtime.

Actually, the fact that this individual would chit chat about personal crap while on the clock is probably why they thought this particular programmer was simply slacking.
Towards the end of the article it says: "I am also involved in the establishment of evolutionary religious studies as an authentic scientific discipline"

From that sentence I understand that he is in fact trying to combine creation and evolutionary theory and call it a science. And to achieve that he must attack atheism.

Calling atheism a religion is like calling bald a hair color.
What are the benefits (or use cases) over the classic VPN service?
The tl;dr is:

Barrett Brown did reporting on Lulz Sec regarding their hacking spree and basically re-tweeted information as he received it. He's been sentenced to 5 years in prison and a $900,000 fine for "obstruction" and "aiding" Lulz Sec.

This occurred during the same time period when Lulz Sec was being effectively run by the FBI via the turned informant-inside-man Sabu.
Docker was written off with the caveat of, "but I still use it for my local development environment". I feel like that's a huge advantage for Docker. Maybe I missed it, but all the other mentioned technologies didn't try to solve the problem of providing a consistent development to production environment. That said, Docker still has a lot of problems around making the dev-to-production experience smooth, especially for teams that use OS X for development and run Linux in production.
This is a fantastic comment. I'd love to hear more about your experiences and any other insights you have about musical practice.

Since you program too, do you think there is much crossover? Some analogous form of practice that makes you a more effective coder?
It’s started in the Univerity of Illinois, and still under their source code license.

Yup. Edited now.
Is it? If it was really that easy to track and identify customers without using loyalty cards, why would they bother with the faff and expense of loyalty cards?

I half-wonder whether there's a more pernicious plan which actively wants customers to know they're being tracked, on the assumption that if they see their purchases as contributing to a persistent profile with unknown distribution, they'll try to curate that profile to make themselves "look good" the same way they do on Facebook etc. Don't want everyone to think I'm a cheapskate, better buy that more expensive brand even though I can't taste the difference...
In these times, where "news" can absolutely be "pulled out of their butts", I do think it's important to consider the partiality of any author. Even things that can be fact-checked may not tell the entire story - e.g. reporting the results of a study while neglecting to mention other studies that found differing results.

In this case, the NYT article cited by the PostMillenial article was much more well-balanced with opinions included of multiple French political parties, and if someone wants to read more on this, they should read that article.

They should not read the PostMillenial article, which only mentioned what the French far-right (Le Front National) party & similar political leanings mentioned and they neglected to mention they were only including those points of view.

For an even more concrete example:

From the PM:

> Nathalie Heinich, a French sociologist told The Times, "It was a series of incidents that was extremely traumatic to our community and that all fell under what is called cancel culture," said.

From the NYT:

> “I was pleasantly astonished,’’ said Nathalie Heinich, a sociologist who last month helped create an organization against “decolonialism and identity politics.’’ Made up of established figures, many retired, the group has issued warnings about American-inspired social theories in major publications like Le Point and Le Figaro.

> For Ms. Heinich, last year’s developments came on top of activism that brought foreign disputes over cultural appropriation and blackface to French universities. At the Sorbonne, activists prevented the staging of a play by Aeschylus to protest the wearing of masks and dark makeup by white actors; elsewhere, some well-known speakers were disinvited following student pressure.

> “It was a series of incidents that was extremely traumatic to our community and that all fell under what is called cancel culture,’’ Ms. Heinich said.

Do you see what I mean?
Depends which part of the U.S. you're talking about. In 10 states campus carry is allowed. In a number of other states, the campuses can choose to allow it.

Sure, if you're looking for the form-factor of a MacBook Air, there are quite a few. For example, the Lenovo 14p lineup, but there are many others.

Depending on where you live, there may be some supply issues, especially if you are looking for a model with an NVidia 3000 series GPU.

Hey, if you have a working example of two simultaneous audio clips playing in an iPad, run off a timer with no user click to initiate it, I'd absolutely love to see it and swipe the code. Ditto for smoothly panning and zooming a scene without the 'disappearies'.

That sort of thing is trivial in a browser, but it just falls down on apple devices. If you have counterexamples, you can save me a lot of grief, so please share them.

Yes. Now make this actually render a circle after each step. And provide pronouns (anaphora) like this, it and the radius (inferred noun in some syntax). My whole point was about a) smart objects that have prepopulated fields with default values, and b) anaphora. I don't have an opinion about the natural language at this point.

And get rid of the set_visible.
I would disagree ... Look at: http://jackthreads.com/ http://www.gilt.com/ or http://seshday.com/ I'd say that the majority of online fashion shops -- actual shops, not just a designer's site -- often have well designed, well thought out sites. Boutiques.com looks just like a very sterile, google site. No "fashion" at all.

I found it quite the opposite. He valued his genius above anything else, honored no inconvenient personal obligations, and was chronically dishonest when promoting new projects, and without those qualities, his accomplishments would have been much more limited. I don't feel inspired by that at all -- I could perhaps convince myself I was a genius and do anything to further my creative output, but I can't morally do that, because the odds are overwhelming that I would not create beautiful and enduring works of art that eclipsed the personal damage to people around me the way Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture does.

I think this all comes down to using the right tool for the right job. I've worked in polyglot environments where the decision to use multiple languages and platforms was a complete disaster. There's just no need to use two tools, which perform the same tasks at the same speed, for one job. It makes hiring a nightmare, and means the team may become conversant in 10 languages, but never master any of them.

That said, sometimes (and I do mean sometimes), there is a justification and reason for this sort of thing. Facebook chat was written in Erlang for speed and scalability purposes. That makes sense. The application needed more than the standard platform (PHP) could handle.
I read a draft version of it through my employer, and I have to say it is the best book on Web security I've ever seen. It is basically an encyclopedia of attack vectors, organized by the technologies that enabled them. The author discusses both inherent problems with the protocol, as well as nuances in different implementations, which makes it extra valuable. Reading the book through was an eye-opener, and there were countless oh-crap-I-didn't-know-it-could-work-that-way moments.

Two warnings about the book: first, it is really an encyclopedia, so the author skims the part on how to prevent the attacks. There's a security cheatsheet at the end of each chapter, which is helpful but a bit too succinct. You have to understand the book fully to really make use of it. If you're more into a cookbook style book, look elsewhere. Second, the browser information is not quite up-to-date and thorough. I can't blame the author, as security is an ever-changing landscape. But just standard warning: Do your experiments. Test the attack vectors in all browsers. I once shipped a vulnerability because I blindly trusted the information in the book (thankfully it was disclosed responsibly)
I'd be curious whether you'd be able to reduce the noise (not the same as lensing, obviously) if you used tape like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRoL2q-tU-Q

I've never had to scan things like your process so I have no clue; just a thought.
Just want to make a note for you guys on allicin and garlic. Allicin doesn't exist in garlic, but is created when alliin and a heat-sensitive enzyme called alliinase come in contact with each other.

They do not mix until you slice, chew, cut or press the garlic and rupture the barriers between them. They key is to wait 10 minutes after this process has occurred until you cook it, or you will remove most of the benefit of allicin. For example, putting freshly chopped garlic in the microwave for 30 seconds will take away 90% of the potential allicin content due to the heat destroying alliinase.
Completely separate. Pete Ashdown of Xmission (Utopia) has expressed annoyance[1] that SLC approved Google but not Xmission, which has been providing services to the city since its birth. I tend to agree with him, but any news like this is good news, and maybe it will introduce more competition.

You sound like someone that gets it and after reading further it appears you have built an app in this space, and this makes sense. I have too and your right, the coolness of the realtime web is also it's achilles heel. It's not that the web wouldn't be better off realtime, it's just that there is unlikely to be in most cases a time when more than one person if any at all will consume a shared resource. And now you have to account for the most sensible case being the static state of the app where you are over-engineering the realtime features that are not really going to be used that often. In my app I had a a channel state (realtime) and a snapshot state (static). Only thing that made sense in the end was the static snapshot state for content consumption.

Here is a short demo of the product:
