Go to college. The college tuition will not be a problem if you can start taking on client work at your spare time. Simply go to less party and begin looking for clients.

Besides, you can gain some real-life work experience while you are in college. By the time you get out, you'll be more ready that everyone else.
Glad to hear this capability is finally going to be available from Twitter. In order to successfully run your Social Media Campaign, you've got to know what is and is not working.

When can we try it?

The effect you describe is only one of the effects of antabuse. The others are substantially worse (in that they are extremely painful and in that they can be medically quite severe).

The mechanism is similar, you're right, but not quite the same.
Amazon has their own branded range of products called Amazon Basics.
IMHO the main reason that mobile payments have been slow on the uptake is the user experience sucks. On some of the newer terminals its close to 10 screens you have to work through to complete the transaction.

The experience just needs to be 1) Present your device to the terminal 2) Authorize transaction using said device. If your process has anymore steps you are doing it wrong.
I was actually speaking with a a friend and tech recruiter about this yesterday. He mentioned that actually, being a "One Trick Pony" is pretty good for people looking to contract.

Obviously he didn't mean simply knowing one language or framework and no others whatsoever but rather that for contract work companies are looking for people that are highly specialized to come in for a very short period of time.

A Full-Stack Super Ninja Developer is still a good thing to have on payroll but you're going to need some temporary guys that know one part of your stack inside out, especially at scale.

Thank you!

If I haven't read any of the comments on a post, there is no need to show me that they are new. The entire thread is new, I know that. In essence, the extension gives comments two states: new or old. I perceive that there are three states: new, old, and new-since-last-viewed.

I am only interested in special highlighting for the third state, new for threads I have visited before.
> You can't design properly for a medium which has limitations you don't understand.

Spot on. But it's not just understanding the limitations of a given medium, but its capacities as well.

For instance, the web's capacity to scroll: http://www.designmadeingermany.de/magazin/5/
If one person writes LOL and another repeats it, I consider it a feature that the second one is also marked as read.

YMMV ;-)
> The best books I have read are ones that walk through a project from start to finish.

When I want to learn a new programming language or a new framwork, I always look for that kind of books. The last one I did was "Agile Web Development with Rails" a few years ago.
Apple has an advantage here in that the difference between iOS and OS X is smaller than that between Windows and Windows Mobile, or Android and Chrome OS. Apple is also moving ahead now that they are adding mobile features learned from iPad back to desktop in OS X 10.7.

By comparison Microsoft is still in the process of trying to figure out how mobile features look like, while Google has the problem of fragmentation of Android and not-released-yet Chrome OS. I doubt either is far into thinking about merging mobile and desktop as of now.
This statement comes across as absolutist. You seem to want to say that every branch of Homeland Security that does anything that is not directly related to security is 'wrong.' IIRC, the Coast Guard is part of Homeland Security. Were you there the last time that they rescued someone at sea claiming that they, "have no business doing this, because it's not related to security?"

Should the government have further created more bureaucracy by splitting all of the agencies that were swallowed up into Homeland Security into the parts that directly relate to security, and the parts that don't? Now we need double the boats and double the crews for the Coast Guard and the Coast Rescue agencies...

I'm not necessarily arguing that in this case ICE going after these domains makes a whole lot of sense, but holding onto this, "it's not related to security," angle with a death grip doesn't really do much to progress any type of argument.
Thanks for bringing this up! An excellent book on this is:

> How can an industry that does no better than chance on average continue to exist?

The average Joe does not know that.
I don't know if you lucked out. You chose a market-friendly position which you are mentally equipped to do. You might have lucked out in being born in America and being in a stable enough financial position to pursue that career - but after that, it is as much careful planning and work as it is anything else.

Poets choose to be poets knowing that they will most likely never be on stable financial ground. That is not unlucky, it's simply a hardship they've chosen to accept in pursuit of something they'd rather attain than wealth and ease of life.
I have a hard time believing that no one anywhere on the original teams understood that caching database calls was good/standard practice. I think even basic examples like that point out the lack of management problem. I can easily envision someone on the team bringing up basic data caching and getting overruled by other people on the team for trivial/stupid/political reasons. With no proper or clear management in place, there's no one to take this stuff to.
I'm not the one making claims. It's not my responsibility to validate anything. Even if I tried to, it's possible I'd miss the original sources that another person used to make an inference, and I'll lose the opportunity to learn. Worse, I could find bad sources, and learn the wrong thing.

But thanks for taking the time to obfuscate a lmgtfy link. It's clear you put time, effort, and love into this comment. Thanks, Quinn. Happy hacking!
Oh, sorry, 80% of what I currently make. Big difference. :)

And when one of the things that you enjoy more is the IT/Infra/Dev work that you do?

Them you should deserve a very nice home office, with all the monitors, computing power that you would want, and, of course, a remote job to enjoy all that! ;)
I found that 2 layers of etape over my laptop microphone muffles it quite nicely -- no signal even when I shout. Easy to remove and reinstall, too.

They were demonstrated to ban people with opposing viewpoints who were trolling. That is not the same thing.
Anyone know what DE is used in the picture of the pinebook pro?

some of the other screenshots look like gnome, but that one has miraculously not giant widgets/windowbars.

also, does anyone know what those earbuds are?
Yeah I mean, clearly removing CO2 from the environment (provided were not burning fossil fuels to do it) can’t be bad. For now it seems like you’re just shuffling the source of the problem, but i I see what you mean about ethanol sans-CO2. Is that a realistic thing in the near term?

If CO2 is all just a byproduct (I.e. nobody is producing it just to sell it) then it would seem that whatever source of it consumes the least energy from fossil fuels is the best from an environmental standpoint right?

So I guess my question is how does your solution stack up to current recapture in that regard?
Deepl was an incredible tool when I was struggling though my first full length novel in Spanish. It gave much more lucid and nuanced translations than any other automated translation tool I tried.
All the rooms had history visibility enabled, so it sounds like something might have been going wrong there on your homeserver.

In terms of membership changes being ratelimited - yes, this is an anti-abuse mechanism, and the default synapse config is overly conservative. We don't have a way of overriding that globally though, and the FOSDEM use case of loads of rooms flying around meant some people fell over it a bunch. Sorry you got bitten by this.
> Writing type hinted python in Pycharm or Ipython feels like racing in a sports car. Without it, feels like stop and go traffic with the occasional car accident.

This is a beautiful analogy!

As for the second part, though, I would say that even if your IDE does not provide automatic type checking, type hints will still add some benefit because:

- without type hints you have to do all type checking in your head (across all stack frames).

- whereas with type hints you only need to do type checking down to the first level of the stack.

To illustrate what I mean, consider the following code:

def bar(param1, param2):
... # Some complicated code from which it is not immediately clear what values are allowed for param1 and param2, nor what the return type of the function is.

def foo(param):
return bar(param, param2="some default value")

foo("something something")

Now, in order to verify that `foo("something something")` is correct, you have to manually look at foo() and then at bar(). Needless to say, this adds a lot of mental overhead to the game. If we added type hints to both foo() and bar(), however, you would only have to check the signature foo() – which, even in IDEs without type checking, usually amounts to hovering over `foo("something something")`.
That sounds awesome, and the use of a repeatable random vital. Another example of random in a non-cryptography context where it's unpredictable under normal operation, but completely predictable when needed. If you wanted you could run the same test on all the test jigs with different seeds, safe in the knowledge that you could re-run all of them exactly again and again if required. Or you could add problematic seeds to a list for repeated retest with future versions. So much power and freedom!

It is true. Or at least, in my experience, I have no data to contradict this.
I stopped using Twitter last summer and have had similar feelings as the author here.

It definitely warps your view of the world because it's biased towards certain types of posts. It's terrible for any nuanced discussion.

For me, I just got sick of people getting upset over everything and feeling they had to retweet or share everything that was upsetting. I get it that the world is an awful place, but it's draining to just keep seeing negative post after negative post. Even not engaging in the hot topic of the day can make you seem out of touch. And yes, you can choose not to care to engage in those things, but you get addicted to the engagement of twitter, trying to get more followers, more comments, more retweets, more likes, and on and on.
Indeed, I had posted it here seeking more informed opinions by people who have followed long covid research during the past year.

When it appeared on biorXiv yesterday a couple of researchers picked it up with worried statements. What I could assess myself were the position of the authors, and format details which look as if they expect high impact (I’m in a whole different field, so take that with a grain of salt).

Maybe scientists will have reason to check in humans next after this result..
Nothing would change (except that Elsevier etc would have to reach their pockets for the first time).

The editor invites domain experts to review manuscripts. By compensating the reviewers it does not mean that you suddenly get more domain experts. Same people will be invited. But they will be compensated by taking a cut of the publisher's profits.

Or we can cut the middle men and publish in community maintained non-profit open-access journals.
At least there might be a reason to care about privacy, but there actually isn't a reason to care about the national debt. There's no evidence the model of it being debt means anything - it certainly isn't household debt when it's in a currency you can just print more of.

And even under the model where printing money causes inflation, we're in a negative interest rate regime meaning printing money would cause /deflation/.
> In an ultra packed City like HK, I could detect at least a dozen AP at any given time.

On a rooftop in Philadelphia, just standing in one spot and turning 360 degrees in a circle with my laptop, I was able to detect over 50 Wifi APs... (Good 'ol Netstumbler.)

This was in 2003.

A dozen in a city like HK seems quite low.
And it's not like I'm that young. I started using it in 1989 at uni.
They mention HDMI cables specifically. I just went into a Best Buy and asked for their cheapest HDMI cable. The salesman showed me one for $15. The Amazon basics cable is $5.49. If you've got Prime and you factor in the shipping costs of using another website, it's hard to beat Amazon's price.
"Oh, they taught us encryption in school... and for free, on the Internet."
I dont get why they use HDMI cables as their first example: we keep buying HDMI cables because they get busted, not because we need more.

AmazonBasics is currently the best cheap cable (replacing Monoprice's now that they aren't nearly as good as they used to be).

Also, why does the article call them HD cables. Whats an HD cable? None of my ports say HD, they say HDMI.

And it doesn't even get into how Prime games S&H over the long term.
When I moved to London and opened up a Lloyds Bank account (then Lloyds TSB), I was confused to find they did not consider my office postcode W1F 7RB valid. I poked at it a bit and found some programmer assumed that the first half of a UK postcode was \w+\d+. The hilarious part was the branch I was opening an account at was in W1S, so their form wouldn't even take their own postcode.
>Programming interviews seem incredibly confrontational compared to my current profession. Interviewers seem to be out to trick you at something, or else to prove how much smarter they are than you.

well, welcome to software engineering. The interviews are for the reason, they let you peek into your future job. If you can't manage that environment for 4 hours of the interviews, how you're expecting to manage it for many years if/when you get into software engineering?

I'm not trying to be mean, i'm just warning that something like having a fresh out-of-college arrogant Millenial reviewing your code means - well suffice it to say that at my previous job it drove 6 out of 8 person team in 1 year, all from mid to senior engineers, me being 7th, to either change the team (3) or leave the company (4). The guy is a pest, smart, driven, high GPA from top University...
> How could you possibly know that?

okay, but how would YOU possibly know otherwise?? Just because state official told you?? like those don't lie??

Just pay attention exactly to their words: they can say anything they want to, unless they "show me the money", give me a proof, they can keep blabbing regardless if they are state employee or president of the Milky Way himself!
They buried the lede, and put half of it in parenthesis:

"In 1994 the average North American office worker had 90 square feet of space. By 2010 this was 75 square feet. (Executive management gained floor space over the same period, according to the International Facility Management Association.)"
Blue hypergiants only last about 10 million years.

What really is necessary to know, I believe there is still debate, is whether main sequence supernovae can generate all the necessary elements. I believe gold and heavier are might not be possible with normal supernovae and may require neutron star mergers to generate.

I believe earth tectonics, not a small aspect of Earth's long term stability/cycle, need radioactives to maintain a liquid core (not to mention the magnetic shield provided by the core).

Still, an earth like world in a mostly stable/quiet area of a galaxy may be possible only a few billion years after the big bang with some luck with blue hypergiants and a lucky neutron star merger, if that is in fact necessary for heavy elements and radioactives.
Take a look at the screenshot of that same sex marriage, do you notice something odd? The gender symbols at the bottom are male/female not male/male. The patch only disables the gender check, it does not fix the game content or any other logic related to marriage. There are probably dozens of follow up bugs waiting, some of which will need new game logic and art to fix.
Because VC. You need growth, at all cost (both monetary and ethical) to get more VC money, and when you’re big enough you exit by selling to a big tech. That’s current Silicon Valley playbook.
Does everyone just talk over everyone else on this thing? How does mass audio work?
I suspect it has approximately nothing to do with what the patch implemented. And a lot more to do with it being effectively a guide to reverse-engineering the game executable. Paradox makes multiplayer games. They probably saw this as How To Cheat 101.

As to not wanting to do the work to make it implementable without a binary patch, well, it's just not in the game. I can imagine hesitance to start modifying the game based on demands of modders for multiple reasons, even if they liked the mod itself.
No. We really have no idea what is going on. We only know some basic psychology about it (holding 7 things in short term, etc.) If we knew something about implementation, we could implement human-like memory.
You would think they need to grow user count as quickly as possible (like all other VC funded startups), but the fact that they don't have a web app, don't have an Android app and don't have open signups on iOS leaves me very confused about their entire strategy.

Is Clubhouse just being pushed by VCs and other tech celebrities as their personal soapbox, or does it have potential to be something beyond that?
LRB and other publications of that caliber receive enough submissions in their preferred style so as to only require light use of [sic] for errors. LRB letter writers are highly motivated to have their words be selected for publication.

The Economist wishes to publish from a wider set of contributors and its house style is harder for that group to imitate.
So many people seem to miss this point! Regular meatspace trespassing already has laws surrounding it. Laws that don't destroy your life. Step back into a store you're banned from in disguise and get caught? You're not faced with losing your ability to vote, no chances to acquire work, hundreds of millions of dollars of debt, decades of jail time, etc. Felony charges ruin lives, and shouldn't be just lightly sprinkled into otherwise mundane cases like these.
I think xsace's point was that letting callers know they may be recorded makes them less likely to be abusive towards the call center worker and/or less likely to make false representations of what was said to them.

Of course, state (and federal?) laws make the disclosure mandatory, so it's hard to know if there's any motivation beyond that.
Not to mention protecting cops from spurious lawsuits. It seems like a win-win for everybody.

You don't have to wait. You can turn that off with '-n'.

When you jump to the end of the file ('>' command) you'll see

Usually season tickets in the US are actual paper tickets to each game which can then be divided or resold.
This is something I'm still wrapping my head around because I've read that Bitcoin tumblers are effective. But it's like you said: all transactions are public.

A small business is low volume, hence going to have a hard time getting good rates. And they're also constrainted on resources, so the extra effort to get a few points off may cost more than those points (as written above – they're low volume. The cash value for a bp is much lower for them than for a high volume business)
Yeah, that won't fly on my app right now because I only want it to notify you about an SSL cert that is both being served by some publicly-reachable host AND is about to expire soon.

A cert that was issued, found on CT, and expires tomorrow? Who knows, if it isn't served by any host/LB, let it expire, right?
I own myself an unlocked E72 that I paid full retail for.

The hardware is fantastic, better than any phone I've owned, and better than any phone I've seen. It hasn't got a fancy touch-screen like the iPhone, but I like it better. That's why I forked out money for it.

The software is flawed and occasionally a little buggy.

There are, as far as I'm concerned, no apps. I mean, there are apps, but not enough, and not ones I care about. An when I do care about them, they are usually unusably buggy.

I personally would like to see how Android does on a Nokia phone. Wish I could stick it on my E72, actually. I have no prejudice against Symbian, but right now it doesn't seem to be up to par.

Don't forget, Nokia's market share is largely tied to basic phones. The iPhone and Android are flagship devices; they are what gets all the press coverage. Nokia's current position reminds me of Microsoft's a little while back. Apple got all the press and the hype and the hey-isn't-this-amazing, while Windows was actually more widespread and probably making more money.

P.S. I have heard it's kind of an awful platform to develop for. It's allegedly more difficult to program, the platform is extremely fragmented, and a general lack of interest means it's not worthwhile.

> Is it seen as "unpatriotic" because is foreign?

^ America doesn't really do this anymore. Even if we wanted to, not enough good stuff is made here anymore, which is a shame. Most of the stuff I've owned that was very old or old-fashioned and was made in the USA was top-quality.

Aussie here, I have access to wikileaks.org right now from my Sydney-based ISP. There is no internet censorship in Australia as the idea is politically dead for now.

Yes, it wikileaks was added to a blacklist, one that is used by government employees at work. Basically no one uses that list.

> It's not just SQL, either; I've used it to get XSS out of corrupted AES decryptions as well.

How would you go about such a thing? My initial thought is to simply permute over the controllable bytes and see what comes out, looking for specific characters that get you what you need, e.g. a quote to break out of an HTML attribute, but I think I might be missing an easier path.
> If the Conservatives think Singapore's state plays a small role, they must be thinking about some mythical Singapore

These elites speak in abstract terms, typically of things they never actually experienced or seriously analysed. They largely dabble in ideology, mostly to cover the immediate interests of themselves and their cronies.
