No, it is not a lost fight. You did the right thing to rise their awareness at least once, what they will do after is their responsibility. It is one thing when they are not technical and unaware, and it is a totally different thing when they chose to be ignorant, do stupid things and support the consequences. In the second case they just are deserving it.
Try googling "scheduling software academic" there's a bunch of solutions out there.
Go looks like a really nice language, but then I discovered that they don't _want_ to have exceptions. Crazy.

I'm sticking with Erlang, "Let It Crash" (and handle the crash) is better than "add if(err) after everything and good luck with that"
Looks like a nice machine, generally, but then we get to the screen size: 1600x900. Pathetic. The new Nexus 7, for $230, has more pixels.

Mr Spasic seems to be something of a virtuoso!
When I decided to take part in LD48 #29 (which was the first time I did a gamejam), I went with golang. I did some research beforehand on the language, a few basic libraries and got me back on track with OpenGL which I did not use for years (and only ever as a toy). I maintained a log[0] and fed twitter regularly about my progress.

To sum up I was 1) on the move, 2) in a new language, 3) in a domain I only superficially know. Not precisely the best conditions to say the least, but I managed to read and map keyboard and mouse input, draw sprites, animated water (screenshot missing), and (almost) working point physics. Were I not aiming for the realistic physics but some crude old skool implementation, I'd definitely have a (very basic) platform game out as the last screenshot.

So, even at the lowest levels and using a few techniques I gleaned from watching Notch's Twitch stream on LD48 #28 it was loads of fun and extremely productive, even without support libraries or a dedicated engine. Hint: binding a reload hack thingy[1] to cmd+R[2] was the best thing I did, being stubborn about the Real physics thing was the worst.

> "It's not so much that we're interested in processing the eggs; that's just demonstrating how powerful this process is," Weiss said. "The real problem is there are lots of cases of gummy proteins that you spend way too much time scraping off your test tubes, and you want some means of recovering that material."

It's not really about eggs, but reusing protein material that has folded incorrectly.

Email: on the resume

I'm an accomplished senior engineer with 17 years of experience building products and solving problems. I'm technology agnostic; I use the best tool for the job. I'm also full stack. I like building features as a vertical slice through all layers of the stack, from the database all the way up through the frontend. I've worked at companies of all size, from 10 man startups to Disney.

I'm a no-nonsense greybeard who gets things done, but I also keep up to date with all the latest toys. I remember when SPAs were written in Adobe Flex and run on the flash plugin and I've also used react hooks in anger. This gives me a unique perspective and judgement that comes in handy when evaluating new technologies, building new products, making existing products work better and solving difficult problems.
China, so we can defend Taiwan without having to go nuclear to do it. Russia, over the rest of the Ukraine. Perhaps Iran, if we have to stop their nuclear program by force, or some other contingency.
> $3.6 trillion per year on health care

Yes, and this would decrease, significantly if the us healthcare system were more proactive and more people had good insurance. Not to mention that much of this is what is already spent, so clearly we can afford it. If taxes increased by exactly what your premiums were before, it's revenue neutral.
If COVID originated from bats or whatever, then the reason we don’t see multiple viruses going around simultaneously is because animal–human crossover, though it certainly does happen, happens more rarely than that.

If COVID is a virus of whatever origin that escaped from a Chinese lab (only mentioning this because it’s a popular theory among ordinary netizens and the WHO expressly didn’t rule it out, though it called it not a likely scenario), then we don’t see multiple pathogens going around the world because all developed countries’ top-security bio labs are – thankfully – quite secure. Stephen King’s The Stand and Richard Preston’s The Hot Zone have kept readers awake at night with fear for decades now, but the labs they describe have managed to keep their pathogens from escaping.

Also, some horrible pandemics of yore like bubonic plague were easy to stamp out by modern hygiene practices, which is why they only pop up today in undeveloped places with poor hygiene (e.g. prisons in Madagascar).
Upvoted for providing actual context but the quoted text reads like academic obscurantism to me. I may not be the target audience for such papers but phrases like “own resonant feelings” are meaningless. I took the time to look up what “emo-cognitive” is supposed to mean but all I found was papers similar to Beyond the Face of Race: Emo-Cognitive Explorations of White Neurosis and Racial Cray-Cray by the same author. There was plenty of impenetrable language but no clear explanation of what “emo-cognitive” means.

I also had to look up “white neurosis” to find out what it’s supposed to be (the previous articles assume it as an axiom). Amusingly, the top result on DuckDuckGo was an even nuttier website on the opposite side of the US spectrum¹ which quoted some academic as describing it as a new disorder that afflicts white people (presumably Americans) causing them to react “defensively, aggressively, or defectively” when they’re reprimanded for their privilege. I guess neuroses cover such a wide variety of mental states that you could make the case that an inability to relate with others of different skin colour is a type of neurosis but from the way the term is used, it sounds like it’s more loaded than that.

I stopped reading there because life’s too short and I started to become depressed considering that it’s likely only a matter of time before this sort of thinking crosses over to my side of the pond (as we refer to the Atlantic). The Covid-19 and other right-wing conspiracy theories have already caused enough societal damage. :(

I don't think there is any strict consensus that genocide is only about slaughtering people as in murder/killing. Sterilisation and making their living conditions worse than others in order to kill their culture and ethnicity can also be considered genocide, as the ultimate goal is to erase them. In this case it just happens slowly in training centers, work camps and prisons.

In the larger picture I agree with you however. If you give someone that label there is only one stance that would be acceptable and it would have to be a strong one, otherwise you are diminishing the importance of the word.
Low end fight is where we use drones and Super Tucanos (A29) and play "Aces over Afghanistan" (or wherever-Stan we go next).

Purpose built aircraft are indeed better, and flexible cheap and reliable aircraft like Tucanos are the ideal solution for many scenarios.
I suspect that they package whole WebKit for HTML preview and so it positions Qt not too far from ElectronJS.
TLDR: The Economist tries to argue that without death camps there is no genocide; which is false.
Or if you take ambien or something like that it might not be a good idea.
There is a big danger in labeling it genocide: what are you going to do about it?

If you label it genocide, and continue doing business as usual apart from some strongly worded letters, you are in effect saying that "genocide" is not a big deal.
It is decided, all menus should be on the center!
In IntelliJ, that'd be turning on the Toolbar, the Tool Buttons, Navigation Bar, and Status Bar, and then opening all the panels at once. In real life, I don't actually turn all those things on; I instead have common panels enabled, and then bound a shortcut to Distraction Free Mode that I use when I'm actually coding instead of debugging/building/etc. I don't remember the equivalent for Visual Studio off the top of my head, but it's similar.

Emacs and Vim don't really have a mode like that. I suppose the closest in Emacs would be just hitting M-x and then tabbing through all the functions, but I'm not sure that counts.
"To re-create a clear protein known as lysozyme once an egg has been boiled, he and his colleagues add a urea substance that chews away at the whites, liquefying the solid material."

Another interesting use for human waste however I'm not sure I would like to eat an egg that was treated with urea.
How is such a blatantly false and quite frankly ridiculous comment not heavily downvoted after 2 hours on HN.
Maybe you don't know that 60 Capital Police were seriously injured, 15 remain in the hospital, and one is confirmed dead from the attack.

Maybe you don't know that of the 4 rioters that died, one had a heart attack (unconfirmed), one was shot and the others were trampled (by the mob).

Maybe you didn't know that congresspeople from both sides of the isle hid in closets and under desks, terrified and afraid for their lives.

Maybe you just didn't know these things, and got them wrong. But when confronted with them, you aren't going to say "oh sorry I was mistaken." You will respond with whataboutism and other deflection, to preserve your worldview that this wasn't a mob and Trump didn't do anything wrong, etc.

Which was OP's point. This isn't a good faith discussion. You are either ignorant of the truth (and will respond poorly when confronted with it), or you know the truth and are cynically lying about reality to win a rhetorical game.

This is the nature of all bad faith political discussion, which is why I (try to) avoid it all together.
You have to create a BI account to see it.
Sure, everyone can have any opinion anywhere.

Still it's mostly an opinion shaped by the environment and mostly prevalent in the US, and to lesser extent, other sparsely populated countries with significant sprawl.

The fact that the sprawl makes it ineffective and expensive to lay an effective public transit is what makes it seem undesirable.

The fact that it's ineffective makes it relegated to what poor people use, deepening the issue.

And this goes as just personal experience, but my US friends in the EU insist on driving through city traffic and spending 3-4 as much time in commuting, and it takes a while until they give up.

Some of them aren't even used to do groceries by foot, for a large chunk of the US population that involves driving to a Walmart.
Who knows what Trump was attempting. He should definitely be investigated.

But the riot was a riot. There was no organization and no attempt to take the government and rule it. It was vandalism.
>> because every other OS sucks at sandboxing

And I won't be confident using browser too. Pretty sure at any given time there will be quite a few javascript/wasm attacks which can escape browser sandbox and run arbitrary code, then my files won't be safe. When I am running potentially malicious website I am creating a separate user on my linux box anyway.
This is not surprising considering this entire debacle started when he skipped bail while awaiting extradition to Sweden.

In theory, both forms should get optimized similarly by the DB, but the practice will likely differ from database to database, and maybe even from DB version to DB version.

There are though things that CTEs can do and sub-selects can't (e.g. WITH RECURSIVE)
Gists and other subdomains are still blocked, but the APEX is available.

This is one of those cases where ECH would really make sense: the censor is forced to choose whether to pass TLS connections to an IP or not.
Those are all valid points. Though I will argue that the assumption that the Capitol Police answers to the legislature is shaky, at best (in practice). If I had to guess who is more likely to refuse an unlawful order, I'd say a member of the military, rather than the police, based on my limited knowledge of their respective cultures. Combined with the idea of police officers who believe they are part of a semi-secret, ad-hoc, patriot's army, things can go wrong indeed.

Let's do a thought experiment: let's say there are a few elements in the police who are active QAnon believers, sprinkled in at various levels. Let's also assume some more force members are not believers, per se, but sympathize with the cause, and are willing to look aside since they may dislike some legislators who they see as enabling BLM, Antifa and other un-American actors (in their eyes) and believe that something "weird" happened with the elections and/or the whole establishment is dirty. Would these individuals not listen to the orders of the commander in chief, even when not delivered via the official chain of command?
Given how often I hear it said that politicians would be better replaced by drunk monkeys, you might be onto something.
Furthermore, as the article itself notes, grade inflation and acceptance of cheating make the value of even the science degrees somewhat dubious. The general atmosphere of political correctness (often motivated by extreme leftist ideology) make this problem very acute.
Honestly, I'm surprised it's taken Apple this long to throw a similar feature packaged in with their iOS devices. My theory is that they are holding onto their iTunes business model for as long as possible before either purchasing or mimicking the streaming subscription-based style.

Google on the other hand us HOPEFULLY working on something great for their Android devices..
I poured through the laws and talked to a lawyer about it, though this was years ago. It is illegal to inform a user directly in any way, they can't make you re-architect your system to provide them a backdoor unknown to the user.

also the wording can not mention 'warrant' or 'fbi' so it has to be something like 'third party access'

I have been meaning to do this as a 'project' with full legal advice etc. and suggest it to google, other cloud providers

Edit: found that rsync.net already do this, in a different way, as a warrant canary: http://www.rsync.net/resources/notices/canary.txt
Wouldn't a functional language better for wiring? Doesn't having function composition and higher order functions give you a much more expressive language for building systems?
Interesting technical idea, but it ignores how power works.

The govt will just request that they change the code so that you're in compliance.
To get a frequently updated version set a recipe up at http://readbeam.com. It's easy, just did this with TechCrunch and it worked nicely. (This functionality is still in beta but is expected to be released end of this week)
So I get all the feed articles mailed right on my Kindle every day at 6 am and 6 pm (0 6,18 * * *).
Assuming one existed, how would it handle the passphrases used to protect your ("the user's") new keys and how would it securely communicate the new key's passphrase to you ("the user")?
I'm sorry but whatever you're talking about has nothing whatsover to do with the issue at hand.

Google isn't charging subscriptions for sync. Chromium isn't even really designed to be an end-user product, but a bare-bones browser application that other browsers can build features on top of. It's browser market share used directly is... 0.06%. Less than a tenth of a percent.

And to say that users are forced to use Chrome to use their browser sync settings feels pretty... backwards? Sync is a Chrome feature. It's like complaining Microsoft forces you to use Excel if you want to use Microsoft's pivot table functionality. It's simply a product feature. Not a lock-in mechanism.

As far as I can tell, you're... arguing that users should be allowed to use other browsers (like Firefox and Edge?) but have them sync with their Google account? Even though Mozilla and Microsoft already provide their own sync feature? And which would further entrench Google accounts?

I'm truly confused. Product lock-in is a real thing, but this has absolutely nothing to do with it.
You really don’t. What are they going to do? Raise prices? The only reason we’re not swimming in US oil right now is that a huge chunk of the permian basin is profitable at 80 but not at 65.
So basically zero risk for these guys?
That’s a pretty weak argument. You are saying that I should invest time and effort into a book to understand it, but also that the purpose of literature is not information.

What is there to understand then, if not information? I always hear the author is making a point about life, but why water it down in hundreds of extra pages instead of saying it directly?

The only thing I can think is that the story helps us connect with the author’s point and learn from it better. It can influence and persuade in a way that just laying out arguments can’t, because it stirs up emotion in the reader. Is that what you are trying to say?

I can’t say that I’ve ever experienced something like that from a book, but it sounds enjoyable. Maybe I’ll give it another shot sometime.
If Maduro is democratically elected then I guess so is Putin and Raul and mr Kim and mr Xi, etc.

I’m sure we’ll just ignore the hundreds of government executed political prisoners in Venezuela and other places. Why not, it’s not even ever mentioned by the media.

Biden will lift the ruinous Venezuelan sanctions right after he lifts the ones on Russia I’m certain. Give him time.
Paper money is already obsolete in many countries. They didn't need any cryptocurrency.
That's fine. The artificial part is limits placed on how many residencies there are available.

Full Markdown support is coming in version 2.0 early Spring.
I would be shocked if the Feds were not helping GitHub in some capacity, and I would also be shocked if either GitHub or the Feds talked about that.
Encrypted text support will be added in one of updates after the Mac App Store release.
I do agree with you that canceling soda programs means doom is assured and it's time to bail, as with a dead mine canary.

However, soda, coffee and toilet paper and soap in the bathroom are very small things. Listing them in an ad as one of the key benefits of working for a company is also a mine canary, one that says the company has very little to brag about.
50% of IPv4 addresses were in class A (0-127). But only 40 of the blocks were assigned to organizations in legacy assignments.
This is news... why? I thought everybody knew about this dating back to the very first release of Chrome and the releases of Safari before that.
Should I be able to use FreeBSD on Spot Instances? I'm more interested in this for the future, when larger instance types will be available, but still.

Looks like I can't use any of the Community AMIs on Spot Instances at the moment.

Update: Yes, I can run ami-c01aeca9 on us-east as a Spot Instance! Though any other Community AMI I tried (e.g. Turnkey Linux AMIs) refused to work for me. Any comment on this is still welcome.
Jeff,

Knowing that we've saved tons of people's accounts from being vulnerable while Gawker sat back and did nothing is what I would call a nice job.

Cheers,

Dru
its quick to get a usable instance running, to get a usable ports tree,

csup -L 2 -h cvsup.FreeBSD.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile

looking forward to seeing stable on here

No. As far as I know, it doesn't.
The problem with programming is: in the beginning it seems like fun; but then the system gets bigger, and suddenly it seems like work...
What about my "dismissal" is generic? I gave a specific reason for my dismissal. "Ok Boomer" or "she is old" would have been generic, but that is not what I wrote. I didn't mention her age at all.
Only entities who could stop this, ICANN (this is being pulled off by insiders including former ICANN CEO). Internet Society - they did this deal in the first place. And... who the hell knows? Could the US Government step in? Maybe? They stepped back during Obama admin, I'm not a lawyer but someone needs to step up and I've lost faith in both ICANN and Internet Society.
Yeah the acting is off. The mouth doesn't seem to carry the same gravitas and tension that his eyes do.

Also there's a line across his cheek in the closeup and the bottom left hand corner of the mouth fades into a blurry mess once or twice. The deepfake look generates blurry results for blending.

Where you're located might make a big difference in what advice is applicable.

I suspect that something about your resume is throwing people off. Definitely have someone technical review it.

From your interviews, do you have some sense of what's going wrong? Is there difficulty in getting through the technical challenge? Is the code possibly messy in some way? Or maybe you aren't hitting it off well with the interviewer? If you can't figure it out, then maybe a friend will be willing to mock interview and give some suggestions.

Finally, if you perform well on the job, then interview at a place with a coworker who thinks highly of you. Their reference can help get you through any bumps in the interview process, and they might even be able to pass along more detailed feedback.
I can only imagine about.me mass-creating profiles for names found on other web pages, and opening a way for someone to "claim" those profile with a matching Google account sign-in.

About.me's business model was quite unsettling to me and they have made little to no effort to protect the user data from scrapers.
