They could lend money, whereas Christians couldn't, and since they couldn't own property, there was a time where most Jews in Europe where money lenders (AKA, bankers), no wonder they are still good with the money.

To be honest, I have pinned some pine store links and refresh them everyday to buy as soon as there is new stock! I'm happily using Pinebook Pro as my portable device and have Pinephone with PostmarketOS which with everything working. Fantastic!
Your reply is not what I asked.

I know the issues with the .Net dependency, like user has 4.0 but the app depends on 4.5 or similar problems. But this is not a big issue and you can if you want bundle the Java or .Net runtime inside the application.

Anyway I was aware of this binary size / memory usage difference in favor of unmanaged code, my question was something else, if you can clarify that or admit it was an error would be great.
> I honestly couldn't care less about some sports controversies

I didn't ask if you did, I provided an excellent example of what you're describing.

In your scenario, the 1A would prohibit a business (the NFL), from restricting speech by an employee (Kapernick). This principle is what you're in favor of, correct?

"DDOS protection services" are not a "basic" service for the majority of private entities. So how is your new 1A written to prohibit DDOS protection companies from restricting speech?
Asset allocation and portfolio management is about managing risk for the returns that are desired and/or needed. If I can achieve my (retirement) goals with only 4% returns, then why would I take on extra risk to get 6%?

If I have 60% equities and 40% bonds to achieve my 4% returns, and equities go crazy, such that I've earned a pile of money in that portion of the portfolio such that they now make up (e.g.) 70%, then selling some off to rebalance is not about market timing, but rather about managing risk and not having too many financial eggs in a particular basket.

The Nikkei 225 was 6700 in January 1980:

* https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/NIKKEI225

It had doubled by February 1986: you should have been taking money off the table as it went up. Take your profits and put it in other places: bonds, international. Further, as the valuations/CAPE went up, you should be expecting future returns to go down.

By the time the Nikkei hit a CAPE of 50, that means expected returns would be 2%: is there any place where one could have put one's money that earned >2%? When the Nikkei hit a CAPE of 94, that means expected returns were ~1%. Japan 10-year bond were making 5% at the same time:

A bunch of money invested in Japan, in 1990, with a 30% JP equity allocation, a 40% JP bond allocation, and a 30% international equity allocation, would have funded a thirty year retirement using the 4% rule just fine:

Why would anyone be investing 100% anywhere? Regardless of it being the Japan, US (S&P 500, NASDAQ, Russell 3000, etc), or any other other area/country?

Harry Markowitz, who won the Economics Nobel for portfolio theory, said that diversification is the only free lunch in finance.

And answer to the "but Japan" quip is: diversification.
That was a hell of a read. Thanks for the link!
Twitter is full of noise yet somehow I get decent enough signal to be a daily active user. Does Clubhouse achieve this independently or is this a hard problem and Twitter could clone Clubhouse features and somehow solve this problem?
Ok so force them to accept boxes back for composting :)
Never done anything close, just curious, I still need JS for frontend right?
This different is a big thing. People learn C#, Java, JavaScript, Basic, PHP or C/C++ early on their carrier. Hoping between these is hard but not because of syntax. Hoping from this OO gang to a modern functional syntax is brutal.

I think key to proper functional adoption is wide range entry level adoption (and not only university).
Well aware. Again, not a fan of crypto at this point but just on a relative basis it seems ETH is a logical choice to come out ahead.
Actually, they have. Freelancing isn't everyone's cup of tea, and sure, when you can grab 100k+ for a project, you don't need to be listed on a website, but we have quite a few really stellar individuals.

Don't hate, appreciate.
The source of the actual editor isn't public.
I hate to be "that guy," but this doesn't work for me in IE11.
I think that the ideas is that by giving him an option of multiple times suggests that there are multiple times. If you instead say "I have some time tomorrow to discuss this" it sets a deadline as the grandparent suggested.
ISPs screwing with speedtest results is quite common and plausible.

The claim that it affects other tabs...seems wildly unlikely to me though. QoS and shaping is per service and per target.
Funny one haha. When I look something at stack overflow is because I want to copy the code snippet.
No.

Next question!
Writers, as always, are free to think and write anything that does not threaten State security. As good citizens, we know that they would not want to jeopardize the security of the State, and therefore, we assume that they will keep tabs on the things they write. Only if they write subversive or other undesirable content will they be observed. And only repeat offenders will be brought in for questioning and re-education.

Of course we are free. What a stupid question.

The biggest problem with token passing systems is the cost of losing the token (machine holding it crashes) or failing to yield (when you then have a pope-antipope situation).

Ethernet has an immediately worse system (everybody has to do the backoff, and on a crowded network that can be painful) but on an amortized bases not-as-bad system. Also adding more hosts is pretty much automatic. Consider it a positive example of the "worse is better" paradigm.
It Seems To Me that a little more attention to cross-compilation support would go a long way toward extending support to all the weird architectures.

Really, running a language toolchain on the target machine, where the target machine isn't what everybody has, is largely pointless. We each have loads of machines to run toolchains on.

Early in the life of a language, with a compiler meta-circularly written in it, the compiler is the biggest program in the language, so may seem like an effective early test of a port. But, it must be said, meta-circularity is, in large degree, wankage. There are much better choices to demonstrate the merits of your new language than coding its compiler; a compiler is not the persuasive demonstration of language merit it once was. Writing your language's compiler in an unstable and unreliable new language, making it subject to its own bugs and early inefficiencies, is a poor way to help a new and fragile user community up to speed.

How did we get on this meta-circularity fetish, anyway? It's easy to see how it happened with C, but aping what C did is no formula for success, anymore. C is, or once was, a pretty simple language to compile, so its compiler wouldn't much benefit from being implemented in a more powerful language, if there had been any. That cannot be said of modern languages, where all the help you can give them is just enough to make a usable compiler. Notably, LLVM is coded in (a dialect of) C++, even the project's C compiler.

A cross-toolchain, coded in C++, built to run on Linux amd64 and nowhere else, ought to be all you need to bring up full support for any language on any architecture. As we say about low Earth orbit, it puts you halfway to anywhere in the universe. Even where you don't have Linux, you have a VM you can run it in. Cross-development skills take some investment, but they pay forever after. The overwhelming majority of places you could run code nowadays can't meaningfully host a development environment anyway. Cross skills enable you to program the microcontrollers that manage about everything in the world, today, and phones, and HPC supercomputers alike.

A cross-built program can not only be built on your desktop host machine. It can be debugged from there, running in an emulator or on the actual target hardware. The debugger runs on the host, with access to all the source code. What we call a "debug stub", a tiny fragment of code is inserted in the program or target environment that implements the minimal primitives a debugger needs: mostly just peek, poke, and run; maybe watchpoints if the target supports that. The debugger talks to the stub over a network port, or a serial cable, or by blinking lights, if necessary.

Linux on amd64 didn't take over the world, with no marketing budget in sight, by being the best place possible place to run programs. (It's just adequate, and better at it than Windows.) Linux got there by being the best possible place to develop software. Make it the best place to develop in your language, whatever the target, and you are halfway to anywhere.
My first mud experience was TFE back in the 90s at uni and I tanked psychology because of it. I decided to learn how to make my own (incidentally how I ended up in software engineering!) which never had a single player but 30~ developers for a period of 2-3 years hacking away on areas.. MUDs were the original community-coded-projects!

I have OFTEN considered the idea of writing a new MUD with the intention of bringing in a whole new realm of users to the genre but have never really worked out how to make it viable (I cannot see anyone funding a team to build a MUD startup)

I have some ideas though.. I think telnet is too intimidating for new players. The barrier to entry is too high. They need to work on mobile, they need to probably be some kind of browser-based experience with font styling and the lightest touch UI beyond the old '>' prompt.

If anyone's keen on dropping some coin I have 30 years of thinking on the subject and would happily leave my day job ;)
Australia and NZ are also dominated by 330ml beer cans and bottles.

Popular beers sell for maybe USD 2.50 a bottle I think?

On a side note: I can't remember ever seeing all three South African capital cities listed in a data table like this. Nice!
> I heard stories about sanctioned doctors or nurses just moving to another state to continue practicing, though I don't personally know if those stories are true, it's easy to imagine the value of checking all these lists in a central location.

This was one of the reasons "Dr. Death" was able to keep practicing as long as he did. He resigned from positions and switched facilities/states before the investigations could be completed.

Spicy hot take: the root cause here is the awful c++ library ecosystem.
There exist funds which have annualized a two-sigma return over SPY for over 20 years. If you model returns as approximating a normal distribution (e.g. just luck), and you model years achieving a return at least two standard deviations above the mean under a binomial distribution (i.e. number of years they've been exceptionally lucky), the likelihood of those track records existing are around 1 x 10^-37.

I would call that sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis that the returns are normally distributed, which is to say it's not luck. If you expand your sample size to all investment vehicles throughout history, there still haven't been anywhere nearly enough for such a track record to emerge by chance.

Elementary statistics is well equipped to distinguish between a distribution signifying luck and a distribution signifying skill. It's structurally the same as assessing normality, noise, randomness, etc.
My thoughts exactly after I tried to read the readme for second time.

However, thinking a bit more about it, I simulate something like author's kind of hierarchy with vim+tmux: for each distinct activity I usually start new tmux session (e.g. frontend, backend, terraform, etc.). For each project inside the activity I usually have 1-2 tmux windows with vim opened in the root of the repo, e.g. in the backend I'd have vim with microserviceA, vim in microserviceB, vim with shared library and a shell with REPL and docker logs. So it goes tmux session -> tmux window -> file in vim. Switching files in vim within a project is a solved problem (fzf and language servers).

The downside of that is that it's not always possible to jump from a file in one vim into another within a session, I have to manually switch windows. But most of the time `gd' works if you have import paths set correctly.
Got it. Let me share with you our experience, and please take it with a grain of salt.

Early on, we've conducted a handful of end-user interviews - knowledge workers, various industries, fluent with computers. We conducted a series of hour-long video calls, recorded them with permission to re-watch them later, and asked the questions like - how do you think about privacy? How do you think about the performance of faceID or similar? How do you think about biometrics and privacy? Will you be open to try a solution that uses your biometrics from an unknown vendor? Etc.

The result, somewhat surprisingly, boiled down to a few bullet points:
1. Performance- "If it works and I can log in, that's enough assurance."
2. Privacy and data - "Have an FAQ section or show in me onboarding that you don't sell my data for surveillance - that's good for me."

We've been prepared to answer the "SOC 2 Type2 -style" question regarding performance and data privacy, but no one really cared. What users did care about is "can I add this app to my account?" and other feature requests.

Exactly what I was thinking - it sounds interesting when viewed from that perspective..
This is exactly why systems like this never work out. One could argue that to-do apps like Remember the Milk would have cashed in on this if there was really a market for it. The problem is that, for most of us, our lives are the result of goals and objectives and a healthy dose of luck and randomness.

Like that old commercial pointed out, very few children say they want to "claw my way to middle management" despite the fact that's what happens to a lot of us.

I would expect a service like this to fail partly because people aren't that organized and partly because those that are would be underwhelmed by how things turn out. Nobody likes a service that makes you feel like a failure.

Hi, i am available as Full Stack Engineer (Remote). I have bachelor's degree in CS and experience with enterprise software development and management in many sectors(10yrs) working for software agencies, in particular using web technologies. Let's get in touch via email for more information.. Thanks
She spoke about filtering out unread books, but I'm speaking about books that I've read personally.
Yes, and their impact on Amazon as a whole was nil. JonnieCache was claiming it could get worse than the flash crash.

For the record, I personally think it could, but not due to bugs in pricing obscure stocks.
My wife has experimented with that, sort of. She wouldn't not try to force the market down, but she'd occasionally find arbitrage situations on Amazon and exploit them. Buy a book placed at far too low of a price and then simply re-list it at a correct price.

The thing is that while these automatic pricing scripts exist, they aren't in enough widespread use to do what you're suggesting.
"When you really think about it, self-signed certificates are kind of misleading."

Given the ease of obtaining a root certificate, I'd say nowadays they're a great deal less deceptive than some CA-signed certificates. Visiting a site that has a self-signed cert doesn't prove your connection is safe. Visiting a site that has a CA-signed cert doesn't prove your connection is safe. What's the point of this exercise again?

I'm not sure at all what your second paragraph gives us. We don't need a fourth party to mediate the certification the third party gives us. The whole process of cert signing is a certification from a third party. That part actually works; the problem is that browsers accept signatures from organizations they should not, and the meta-problem is that there really isn't a solution to that problem. (What cert organization is secure against their local law enforcement?)
My wife used to sell used books on Amazon part-time a few years ago, mostly as a hobby to feed her own library. She employed some software and pricing algorithms, similar to the ones mentioned in the post.

Often, she'd go to library or estate sales and just scan hundreds of books. If they met her pricing targets, she'd buy them. But one time a book she scanned had an incorrect barcode number (it wasn't clear if Amazon had the incorrect barcode or what), but so did several other sellers of the same book.

When she posted the book for sale, it came up with a different title, but she hadn't noticed while she was posting inventory. Initially my wife assumed she'd lost the inventory when someone tried to buy from her, but it wasn't until she tried to drop ship from another seller that they realized what was going on.

The sellers all had to cancel their orders with each other on down to the buyer, who took it in stride.

But, with Amazon, you can still rate sellers who cancel your order, so there's at least that risk...

The median household income is $55,000, with a median of 1.5 earners at that level. So, it seems to me quite likely an earner makes less than $62,000. Also, the median personal income is about $30,000, although this includes everyone older than 15.

I'll have to go back through my reading list to see what I recommend - I've been following education issues to some extent for a long time, long enough that I remember reading better articles but not where I found them.

DEA raids California medical marijuana stores that are legal according to state law, so ... yeah, if they want to, they will.
I wish that science education, especially at the middle school level, focused on stuff like this. As it is, science education isn't for the most part about learning to do science, as it is about learning about a bunch of theories that were derived via science. Having kids do actual experiments on themselves would be great, both because it would help them understand the utility of science and because it would actually teach them to do science.

(It seems like most "experiments" we did in my grade school science classes weren't actually scientific; they were really just hands-on activities. Even if they were scientific, we rarely had to do the experimental design.)
Take it this way: this allows you tweet (or publish in other way) link to your application, where the prospects can buy it and install it without any fuss. That's the entire point, to make life for both vendors and users easier.

What will be truly ironic is when Facebook falls out of fashion in the youth market. Yes, the very thing that it was designed for and that made it great.

It will be astonishing if that does not happen, at least in America. If there is one consistent factor in American culture, it is that your kids will find something to do that is superficially different from what you did. They don't dance to their grandmother's music - except as retro kitsch - and they won't use her social network either.

Alterna-Facebook may be almost exactly like Facebook, it might be compatible with Facebook and it might even be built and run by Zuckerberg, but it won't look like Facebook and it won't be branded as Facebook.

Facebook itself will not die, of course. But it might just settle into its niche. Consider a related - but more primitive - example of a niche genre: high school yearbooks. They are a steady, stable, hundred-year-old tradition but they never grew to threaten, say, newsmagazines, or scientific journals. They are what they are. They are just one genre. Everyone has one, and for a couple years in everyone's life it might even seem important.
