The median income is $32K. The joker in the story is being put up as some kind of typical employer and is offering $12/hr and up and you know thats marketing speak for all new hires get $12/hr and not a penny more unless he's the bosses cousin or something.

Huh. $12/hr assuming full time pay is a whopping staggering $24K and I bet there's no bennies. If the median income is in that city is at least 30% higher he must be one of the crappiest paying employers in that entire city.

Lets keep rollin with the analysis. Zillow for that city is a mess, but we'll call the "average home value" is $120K for this "average employee" making a staggering $12/hr. Now we run the numbers and that means housing costs five times annual income. Thats not survivable at lower incomes, its not like health insurance or car repair or food is any cheaper merely because your boss is one of the cheapest employers in the entire city.

I can see why he gets very few applicants that aren't high... anyone who's sober enough to do the math can figure out his pay is literally unsurvivable yet his competitors pay quite a bit more making them, if not survivable, at least less unsurvivable.

Wikipedia notes "Scottdale's crime rate is less than 40% of the national average". Its not that the people are bad, its that they tried to imply the cheapest sweatshop is somehow indicative of ... anything. Wikipedia further notes that "About ... 8.3% of the population were below the poverty line" so the article implies everyone there is unemployed or has the world's cheapest boss, yet 90+% of the population seem to be doing too well financially to work at the steelworks, its not a significant policy problem so much as one dumpy employer.
I think leadership gets tagged with buzzwords like 'vision' and 'synergy' and gets made to look idealistic, but the skill of motivating people to work towards a shared goal is a very tangible concept.

Perhaps a more accurate characterization instead of specifically being white, having an <attribute> of the dominant category of people in a culture (I'm using the word culture broadly, there are cases in which I do not think white males are the dominant nor revered category).

When you have a dominant group of people that share an attribute, I think anchoring and other cognitive biases will always play an influential role.

It is interesting that some religions include fasting as part of their rituals and traditions.

Specifically I am familiar with Eastern Orthodox https://orthodoxwiki.org/Fasting some of it is just dietary restrictions no meats, sometimes not animal products, etc. And strangely it often includes vegetable oils and wine as well. Monastic communities would practice a total fast sometimes from what I remember.

Wonder if somehow health benefits observed over the centuries ended up codified as religious practice somehow to benefit the followers.
I don't think he's saying that everybody employed by the autoshop needs to be a straightedge teetotaler; he's saying "don't drink or do drugs at work. When you show up to work, you need to be sober and clean".
Other comments have mentioned the obvious issue that you can't use this feature across multiple browsers. So you still need CSRF tokens, and the title is just wrong.

He also mentions checking the origin/referrer header. I would strongly recommend against this strategy; as he says, it doesn't work everywhere. Specifically, regular form submissions will not include the origin header in most browsers, and the referrer header is simply not reliable.

More importantly, multiple strategies for CSRF protection is bad. You need to fall back on tokens anyway, so the "check origin first" method is basically just an extra bypass for attackers to abuse. Two checks in this case are significantly worse than one, because if either is broken you are insecure.

Just have to be careful with a gas stove. My first time using mine I put it on high and melted part of the handle. But as long as you keep the flames medium-low it's fine.
Yeah, I think you're right mostly.

However, my main use for this so far has been for old python 1.5-2 programs (some 15 years old) with not much typing at all. Adding limited type information for methods seems useful for helping the static checkers as well in these cases. The division errors in the blog post were based on real bugs it found inside class methods for example. I bet there are lots of corner cases I haven't tripped over yet however. I wouldn't be surprised with dynamic python that it could cause quite a lot of problems. Python can get pretty fancy. I told it to ignore all 'self' variables for example.

I think basing it on the coverage tool helped avoid a lot of problems. Because they have already done the hard parts of getting the tracing to only happen on user code. If you don't trace into libraries, and only do user code the task becomes 7 million times easier.

An assault of against the entire legitimacy of the judicial branch is hyper radical. Naming the news media the enemies of the American people is hyper radical. Illegally ordering legal permanent residents be detained without due process is hyper radical.

Some of his policies aren't radical, sure. He is a populist. The fact that one time he said he likes the welfare state and one time he said he didn't, or that one time he said he wants to scrap ALL of ACA and then some other time he described all of the policies in ACA and said they were good and wouldn't go away doesn't mean he's moderate, it means he's incapable of telling the truth because his mind changes too quickly to have a consistent position. But regardless, the president doesn't set policy, congress does. He leads the country in words and action, acts as the head of state diplomatically and oversees enforcement of the laws which the legislative and the judicial branch decide for him.

In that sense as the leader of our country he is the most radical president I can think of since FDR who was a wartime leader and was rapidly approaching a dangerous permanent control of the country.

Oh, good point - you made me remember the mystery we solved at my old office.

We were convinced that the microwave was a low wattage unit because it would require you to cook things about 25% more than whatever the package said. It turned out that the digital timer was fast. We started the thing for a minute against a stopwatch app and it was off by more than 10 seconds.

This thing didn't even have a clock -- it was basically designed to do two things: (1) Bombard food with microwaves and (2) stop bombarding said thing after a specified period of time. It did one of those things about as poorly as it could be done.
That's always a bit of a dodgy metric, because of two issues: The simpler issue, that people are more likely to bring up, is that you need infinite memory (or, if you're a member of the Church of Church, you need to be able to represent infinite symbols). The tricker problem is that, since all computers are analog while all theoretical formulations are discrete and symbolic, Turing-completeness is a good-enough-is situation. You can't really build a finite state machine or a lambda applicator, so what it means for something to be a computer isn't as theoretically robust as you'd hope. It seems that, in practice, a computer is something a computer scientist regards as a computer (i.e., relative to the things they expect to be able to do with it, and the ways they expect to interact with it).

I say this because of the weird question of whether CSS is Turing-complete. On the one hand, it seems that existing proofs of concept (e.g., [1]) require the user to play tippy bird with key inputs. On the other hand, real digital computers require a clock to play tippy bird with register commits. To what extent does the clocking of a digital computer have to be "out of sight, out of mind" for people to agree that it's a computer? Also, of course, CSS has to enumerate memory positions (i.e., DOM elements), but then a digital computer has to do the same, so the extent to which one cares about infinite memory is put in the spotlight.

> A total fast is very difficult

The first three days are difficult. After that, something changes (no idea what) and the sense of hunger disappears. This is reported by almost everyone who attempts it.

I did it for seven days, and after the initial 3 day speed bump it's very easy. I would say you actually experience a strange kind of well-being - you feel more relaxed, more calm, more able to focus.

A few things to keep in mind:

Don't forget to drink water. Caloric restriction is easily tolerated, but water restriction is not.

Restart eating very slowly. If you go on a binge on day #1 after fasting, there might be trouble. Eat a very light meal for breakfast, such as rice with a bit of butter in it, and make it a small portion. Follow up with simple meals for lunch and dinner, mostly soft, well cooked meals. DO NOT BINGE, not even on days 2 or 3.

The longer you fast, the more difficult is the "restart", and the trickier the whole process. Most people should probably not go on for more than 7 days, and even then make sure you're in relatively good condition.

I still do 1-day fasts (only water is allowed) once in a rare while. The biggest immediate benefit I see is it reduces food cravings. It's like the sense of hunger is reset to a more realistic level. YMMV, maybe that's just my experience.

> To some, this is a simple engineering trade-off. You can't have sandboxing, tab isolation, and responsiveness improvements with XUL add-ons in any kind of feasible or sustainable way.

Certainly you can: it's software--anything is possible.

The issue is that they don't want to make the effort. I think this is because the developers are no longer the people who built Firefox, and they want to reinvent Firefox and put their own stamp on it--IOW, it's NIH.

I think it's also a matter of the higher-up execs and board members having non-technical goals. It's similar to when a successful, focused company is bought by a larger one, and its popular product is canceled, its development team reassigned to other tasks in the new company. The users are left hanging, their software/product/service being yanked out from under them. At least Firefox is FOSS, so it can be continued, but of course that takes a lot of manpower nowadays. Hopefully Pale Moon will sustain the vision of the original Phoenix.
I got the sense he was kinda joking, but the US media has been full of reports of Russian hackers for months.

No, the idea was to dig up private information about people in retaliation for them doing their jobs because the things they write don't reflect well on Uber.

I don't understand - you wrote the word "no" in front a sentence in complete agreement with me.

If I understand your argument, it's wrong for Uber to investigate and report true facts because you give them personal information (which presumably would not be used in this reporting) and because Uber speaks to the public and lobbies the government for redress of grievances? Could you explain why these activities somehow make investigating and reporting true facts somehow wrong?

(Your use of the term "forcibly alter" is, I assume, hyperbole. As far as I'm aware Uber has never used force against anyone, although it is often the victim of others who use force.)

What other activities causes one to lose one's (moral, if not legal) right to investigate and report true facts? If Sarah Lacy (for example) had an abortion, refused to allow soldiers to quarter in her house or refused to incriminate herself, would she then lose her (moral or ethical) right to investigate and report?

Indeed. Several times I tried to style the tags h1 through h6 so that they were distinguished while not getting too extreme. So I used a combination of font size, weight, underline, and color. When at last I thought I succeeded, I began to ask myself if it mattered. For what reader could really keep track of six levels of headings in single page anyway?

Several levels of headings, along with bullet points and numbered lists, benefit the writer, while you plan your work. But they are not ideal for the reader. I think the best form for the reader is ironically the well-told yarn: a series of well-composed "sentences which then cumulate sequentially into paragraphs," as the venerable Mr. Tufte says.

> The other thing to note is that the 3 and 4th days (might just be me!) I get a 'mental high' that is quite interesting. Everything seems sharper for a while.

That's very commonly reported, actually. And I would say it lasts longer than that. I'm pretty sure this is a major reason why fasting is a common practice associated with meditation techniques, traditionally.
I use this in production, it strikes a decent balance between flexible, powerful, and quick to use.

This info is actually very useful for me as it confirms my (rational) fear of accumulating expenses. It's way too easy to just spend $10-$50 here and there and before you know it you are spending $1000 a month, while the core service is still running on a single triad of web-server/worker-server/database-server combo with no redundancy.

On the other hand it probably contains everything I could think of and it's still only ~$1000 a month, which is not a lot if you work as freelancer and run your SaaS on the side.
Do you know of a book/source that sums all of these points up? (I'm going to try the 3 (5?) days strategy and understanding what's going on would add to the motivation.)

Strangely, I've never been hit up by a recruiter from Smallville. Though it's about 3/week for the city. I've worked as a carpenter for many years in both Smallville and ?Largeville? I never had a LinkedIn, or a resume online.

I feel like I worked with a lot of competent people with no options because in both locations, if you want a skilled labor job, you go in person to the office at 730 in the morning before the crew bosses leave for work.

This doesn't work if you live in another city or town. There's some Craigslist/ad in the paper but since that usually confined to a town or region that can be limited.

It's predominantly a employer's market with the employee reaching out to the employer, where we in tech in the city are mostly used to an employees market where the reverse is true. (Though all the jobs I've had, I've found myself and reached out to the employer)

Also, in a world where you are expected to change jobs for a raise or advancement, having options and access to other employment options is a big deal. In these two ways, the Smallville job market is underserved.
Naked self-interested democracy is mob rule, which is why we try and restrain democracy so that it is not fully democratic. It's why we have a constitution. The reason we have the concept of checks and balances is because democracy needs to be restrained.

There should be a continuous pool of young kids, in theory.

Similar to your story I went from around 2x minimum wage at a grocery store as night shift manager and going to class during the day, to around about 8x doing software stuff, but the school I attended while working night shift hasn't exactly closed.

So where's the kids? There should be another CS department senior student making what would now be $15/hr at that store.

Note that $15/hr is more than the steelworks pays new hires. If you can show up on time and sober, there's no point in working at a dirty exhausting dangerous loud steelworks for $12/hr if you can boss high school kids around for $15/hr in a suit and tie.
