Windows has always done idiotic things when it comes to password security. Whoever thought it was a good idea to split all passwords longer than 7 letters into multiple passwords of max 7 letters in the original LANMAN system deserves some sort of dunce cap award.
I've been saying that ML is much like alchemy than science. They've pretty much given up to understand the underlying mechanism because it's so complex, but that doesn't stop them experimenting because they still get something that looks like a result. And hey, they can get paid for it.

Eventually it might grow into a full-fledged science, but it will probably take an awful lot of time.
Whenever I try to use speech recognition on my Android phone, it's frustrating because when it recognizes the wrong word, there's no way (that I know of) to delete a word or move the cursor.

Also when I try to put a period in (we call them "full stops" in Australia), half the time it inserts a period, and the other half it literally writes "period".

I would like to see some documentation on how to use it better, I had a go at googling for some a while back but couldn't find anything useful. I ended up with the impression that such editing commands weren't implemented.

I still have a go every now and then to see if its improved with updates, but it's basically unusable in its current state.
>What is relevant is that I just gave an example of a group that benefits from homogenized compensation.

They don't benefit from a homogenized compensation plan, it just means others don't benefit more than they do from a non-homogenized plan. It's like saying the solution to racial bias in judicial proceedings is just make sure everyone is always found guilty.

Let me give an example: We process some large forms (say 100+ fields). We care a lot about maybe 15 fields off these forms, but we use the others sometimes. These forms change every so often, with some fields disappearing and new fields joining in. The fields we care a lot about don't change, but the ones we care a little about do. A few possibilities here:

1. You could have a table for every variant of the form

2. You could have a table with every field that's ever been used as a nullable field and add new columns every time a new version of the form appears

3. You could have a table with columns for the important fields and a JSONB column for the variable data

Of the three options, 3 seems the most elegant to me. The other two are basically allowing the ugliness of the source data to spew complexity all over your database.

It may not work in dosbox, but mushroom.ovl is just raw 8-bit[1] linear audio sampled at 8kHz so you can load it up in your raw-audio-capable app of choice. On linux try "aplay mushroom.ovl", for example.

[1] Actually only 6 bits per byte are used; presumably this was done to improve decoding speed or something.
Sorry to hear that. That's a terrible experience and if we had considered it not a fit, we should have communicated this to you.

Do you mind emailing me at barry@coinbase.com with your details?

The payload is mated early to save time by speeding up the launch schedule [1] so a mock payload would have the opposite effect - it would need mated and then removed after the test fire.

These are house cats :P ERADICATION IS NEEDED :)

“The results were certainly surprising, if not startling,” said Kerrie Anne Loyd of the University of Georgia, who was the lead author of the study. “In Athens-Clarke County, we found that about 30 percent of the sampled cats were successful in capturing and killing prey, and that those cats averaged about one kill for every 17 hours outdoors or 2.1 kills per week. It was also surprising to learn that cats only brought 23 percent of their kills back to a residence. We found that house cats will kill a wide variety of animals, including: lizards, voles, chipmunks, birds, frogs, and small snakes.”

There is probably no solution to this problem. Criminals regularly use those same services you're using.

Cloudflare's job is to block potential attacks, and blocking or CAPTCHA-restricting a subnet tied to a large number of attacks against their infrastructure seems reasonable.

Either switch VPN providers, or deal with the CAPTCHAs.
That's just basically his recommendation for a bristle brush though.

Clearly lots of people use these so it may indeed just make sense to buy a good one and wipe down the grill after using or whatever. The problem is that I don't think there are any great alternatives to using thin pieces of metal to scrub hot grill in some way shape or form.

Fijian here. I assumed that was a trick everyone knew.
Off topic but any other tricks you learned from Argentinian circus people? Or circus people in general?
Counter-anecdote: I run a fairly small community and deal with an absurd amount of problems (spam, child pornography, threats, attempted attacks) sourcing from Tor and VPNs like PrivateInternetAccess.

I'm very glad CF exists. It certainly doesn't catch all bad traffic in my case either, but it helps. I don't think any cloud security service can ever stop all spam or bot activity.
I agree with this. There was a time where smart TVs were useful but it is dying out. The other big issue with Smart TVs is they try to put the lowest powered SoC in that they can and tiny amounts of RAM.

They should all just be monitors now. The cost of a Chromecast, Raspberry Pi, or Apple TV is so low that it makes Smart TVs redundant. I actually don't understand why these manufacturers haven't moved to making their own versions of casting/streaming devices. I remember when I bought my Bravia a long time ago it didn't come with WiFi but you could buy their wireless USB device for AUD$80 (they blocked all others). Why don't they do that but instead a Chromecast like device (without blocking out 3rd parties)?
I guess I'll elaborate by distinguishing these types of problem:

1. I roll 1 die. What are the odds of getting a 3? (Assuming the die is evenly distributed 1-n, and n >= 3, the answer is 1/n )

2. I roll 100 dice. What are the odds of getting, among those dice, at least one result of 3? ( 1 - [(n-1)/n]^100 )

3. I roll 2 dice. What are the odds of those dice matching each other? ( 1/n )

4. I roll 100 dice. What are the odds of there being, among those 100 dice, any 2 dice that rolled the same result?

The birthday paradox provides the answer to problems of type (4).

For me, the past is the past. If I'd been being underpaid and was now being overpaid, I'm going to focus on the latter not the former. It's not like I can go back and right the wrong (real or perceived) that was done to me, so I focus on now and forward.
It's not the TV manufacturers that don't like that concept it's that consumers don't like the concept.
Every TV is a "dumb display", consumers wanted more features.

Sony, LG, Samsung and w/e would love nothing more than to sell you only a panel with video input ports but that is not what people want to buy.
People are constantly buying the most feature loaded TV's even at the expense of getting lesser panel quality, inch size and various other things.

Everyone on this thread seems to be focusing entirely on money when determining whether or not something is rational. The Economics 101 definition of rational that I recall from university is only tangentially related to strictly monetary value -- things usually provide non-monetary value as well ("opportunity cost", etc.). If every trade were always based solely on monetary value, trade would be a zero-sum game, but it's not: fair trade is a win-win situation. Seller wins because the product is worth more to the buyer than it cost to produce; buyer wins because the product is worth more to them than it cost to buy. If this weren't the case, one or both parties would decline the trade (assuming, of course, as economists are wont to do, that both parties are rational).

As you point out, there are plenty of non-monetary benefits to academia: passion, interest, fulfillment, pride, etc. These things have different value to different people depending on their own interests and goals. If the total benefit (tangible and intangible) is worth more to someone than the opportunity cost, then, according to economics, that person is still acting rationally in such pursuits.

I'm not an economist, but this is seriously undergraduate-level Introductory Economics material.
Got it. I got hung up on the meaning of "optional values", JSONB makes sense for storing arbitrary metrics. Thank you for clarifying!
I use a grill cleaning stone (sometimes called a grill pumice or brick cleaner) that works better than the brushes and seems to be more durable/less waste than using aluminium foil.

> this does also mean that pay scales are more appropriate and fair

It means that the pay scales are more equal. Whether or not that's fair is unclear as determining fairness requires determining a significant component of performance and results.

Paying a mediocre developer and a superstar developer (or salesperson) the same amount is equal, but is not fair, IMO.

Pure rough estimates, but consumer ISP subnets are probably ~1-3% malicious, while with Tor's rotating IPs, if you look over the past 5 years odds are at least 40% of exit node IPs have been associated with malicious activity at least once.

It makes perfect sense to add additional verification challenges for Tor users.

Also, anecdotal, but I work in infosec for a large US company and see a lot of traffic and read a lot of logs every day. The majority of all spam, fraud, and scan activity comes from Tor, or consumer-advertised VPN services, or various European VPSs. Residential ISPs (excluding Chinese and Russian ones) make up almost no part of it, relative to those others.

I'm pretty sure Cloudflare's challenge criteria is sourced from real data they've generated from traffic they've seen. They aren't trying to single out Tor users.
Basically predicted by Tainter's Collapse of Complex Societies; functionally, the idea is that societies evolve complex institutions to maximize value extraction from a particular set of circumstances, but over time they also lose the ability to adapt to rapid changes in the environment. Complexity becomes rigidity, and when things go wrong enough the whole edifice can't maintain itself. The idea that a slowdown caused by organizational maladaptation is very much in line with his thesis.

The meaning of "dictator", as used in Arrow's theorem, is that the outcome of an election is exactly what the dictator says it should be. More technically, the election outcome considers only the dictator's vote, and is independent of the votes of everyone who is not the dictator.

I don't see how that differs at all from the colloquial understanding. It's a perfect reflection of the principle of One Man, One Vote, as described for Ankh-Morpork ("The Patrician was the Man; he had the Vote").

If that was the case, they could sell a TV with 5 HDMI ports with a Chromecast pre-plugged into one of them.

But I suspect after a year or two people would buy a new $35 Chromecast, rather than replacing their entire TV.
I estimated. Pick say the debian reository, and count them there. Pick all of the programs written in Haskell where somebody as pointed you to them and said "this is cool and solves a problem you might have" where that proglem is something more than writing a haskell program.

I'm not omniscient, funnily enough. But hey, let's ask. How many programs have you written in haskell that you've published and have more than say 10,000 users?
Maybe. I'll accept that TV manufacturers have convinced many consumers to pay attention to the arms race over features. But were consumers really clamoring for 3D, for example?

I haven't been on the market for a TV for a few years but I'm not convinced that a lot of people see more apps on a TV as a critical selling point.
I think it would be more accurately phrased as "people aren't necessarily motivated more by more money". Money matters a lot, but there's a saturation point. Once you have enough money that you're not routinely confronted by the issue of "giving up" things you want, I think additional money is mostly tied to other things that have more to do with social status.
The same excellent team at http://ixsystems.com is behind this. I've not only had a breeze integrating TrueNAS gear into a VMWare environment but I have personally had a FreeNAS mini for years at home and recommend it for many SOHO users who want local storage.
Depends on which state in which you wish to incorporate. It is relatively straight-forward once you decide on a state, as each one has its own way (but they are all very similar for the most part).

Consider forming an LLC in Delaware, as they have the lowest corporate taxes (well known fact, not necessarily important in most cases). Research fun
I think my biggest misunderstanding was thinking in terms of the size of strings that this compares. Seemed somewhat silly to think about comparing really small strings. Though, actually thinking about it, that makes a ton of sense. You rarely compare strings at the same level that you multiply a large matrix.

That said, even the comparisons you were showing look like they would add up pretty fast.
Development on LXQt's been rough lately. I really wish the Lumina guys would have contacted us at some point, reached out to us.

There is a very big lack of manpower, lack of designers, lack of general availability from sysadmins or developers competent at UX.

It saddens me greatly. I used to take care of releases, outreach and UX but focusing on my company means I don't have the time to do that anymore. Despite taking great care to reduce the bus factor as much as possible, right now, LXQt is stuck without a release because there's nobody that both cares about the project and has the time and skills to do this kind of stuff.

This is how the Linux desktop dies. A couple of "big" players doing their own thing and a plethora of small players never trying to partner up with similar projects. LXQt was successful for a long time because it was two small projects that merged into a larger one, but people move on and the momentum gets lost.

Small or midsize towns don't generally have the political will - or budget - to massively rework lots of basic infrastructure. Larger ones definitely don't, and the political history of ramming through such projects is often pretty ugly.

So time, effort, and treasure is spent on changes that can be politically accomplished instead.
I don't want it to look like modern stuff, but it could use some tweaking and usability consistency improvements here and there. It's the whole 'papercuts' thing, nothing terrible, just a bunch of small issues (font sizes, click target issues, etc.)

This is the third month in a row I've seen this posting. I finally worked up the courage to apply and I got shot down immediately. The posting reads to be liberal with the experience levels sought and how much a candidate is willing to learn, so I figured if you're still looking then I would surely have a shot; I have 10 years of C# experience and experience with TypeScript/Angular2 in an enterprise application.
I think I was judged purely off the fact that I don't have any open-source contributions. As a family-man with a full-time commitment to my work, there's not enough time to contribute to OS projects, i'm sorry. If you're excluding people just for the lack of public contributions, then you're missing out on a lot of great experienced talent.
