> A friend was asked out on dates, unsolicited, multiple times by coworkers. She just had to laugh it off.

So long as the solicitation did not continue after it became apparent it was unwanted, this is just typical human social behavior, there is nothing wrong with it.

> A friend reported sexualized posters of women up in the office. In the chat of my company, a sexualized video of women was passed around.

This makes you uncomfortable, it dose not make everyone uncomfortable. Your subjective view of comfort will not always be meat.

> I get misgendered at work by people who do it on purpose.

I doubt you're actually being misgendered. There is a chance they are just being bullies, in which case that is an unfortunate aspect of life. More likely, they conceptualize gender as biological sex. Their conceptualization differs from yours.

> I also get touched inappropriately by a coworker.

This could be illegal depending on the nature, and is certainly against any/all HR policies. Either way this should be reported and dealt with.
lifestyle as a variable of reasonable lyft fares? eeee
And I'd say your viewpoint is extremely narrow.

The entire US is effectively "car culture" - and in my (and others) opinions, that car culture has effectively killed our society. Maybe permanently.

You cannot have a functional society when the majority of productive people sequester themselves off from "the others" into little boxes set apart from each other, never interacting with anyone unless it's a planned social engagement. Typically that means extreme segregation - which we're seeing.

The car - and the resulting car-based society (basically every single community/transportation project in the past 50+ years has been car-centric) - gives you the beginnings of the total social breakdown we are experiencing.

That wouldn't be an entirely bad thing necessarily - it would mean people chose that. Unfortunately they didn't. Car culture (and the suburban culture it enabled) was subsidized by the rest of society practically from day one.
No, by buying some cryptocurrency you're not investing in the company behind the tech (if there even is one) at all.

If the currency does well but the company does badly, you still win. If the currency does badly but the company does well, you still lose.

You're exposed to the fluctuations of the currency, and completely unexposed to the valuation of the company.
This is an unpopular opinion, but the disagreement point is trying to use the FCC to enforce Net Neutrality, not Net Neutrality itself. Since everyone has decided to stop talking about the end goal (an open internet) and instead insisting "my way or the highway", we've gotten ourselves to this point. Thank you for your downvotes. I'd rather talk about working together towards an end goal and finding similarities instead of differences.
Anything that the rich would want to put 1% of their wealth in.
>It's like when people talk about the IPhone as completely new but ignore Blackberry and Nokia Communicators.

Nothing anyone else produced held a candle to the original iPhone. Details matter, user experience matters. Dismiss these things at your own risk.

I would hate for startup founders to read these sorts of comments and come away with the idea that they can ship dogshit but sell it based on specs anyway.
Malwarebytes Remediation Map (aka what your AV did not catch)
Technically yes but not in the same way that I can with my Touch Bar since it's completely visual which would not be the case with the trackpad. I also switch tabs in Safari on the Touch Bar and do plenty of other things that are all just quicker and faster with the Touch Bar. On top of that, it's not like I lost the trackpad by having the Touch Bar so I could still do it the way you're describing, if I was inclined to do so.
In case you have not been paying attention, Disney Animation Studio is using the most famous clip from "Steamboat Willie" as part of their trademark.

By the time the movie enters the Public Domain, Disney will be able to defend the clip with a trademark defense.

I'm not sure, but I think it's possible that BTC runs away with it. The value of BTC, much like the value of gold, is due to network effects. That's the only reason AFAICT that gold is ~60x more valuable than silver.
It depends I guess on how you do your homework and how long you hold the stocks for. Warren Buffett style long-term value based investing vs speculative day trading for example.
> GB blocks are basically ready with today's hardware

What are you smoking? Even 1GB blocks would be 144GB per day of blockchain growth. You can't expect people to tolerate that kind of disk usage, let alone bandwidth.
This is the problem that a lot of people have with the FCC regulatory approach, specifically abusing Article 2 of the 1996 communications act.

Net neutrality is essential for the internet to continue to thrive and flourish as it has done since 1996. But using Article 2 for that purpose is like using a sledgehammer on a finishing nail.

Article 2 was aimed at the true AT&T telecom behemoths of the world. But it is not the job of any federal agency to dictate what its own job is to Congress, i.e. in this case the FCC deciding it wants different public policy from what its charter statutes support. Congress sets public policy and determines how much leeway it will delegate to the agencies and the President. Federal agencies (of any stripe) arrogating power unto themselves is undemocratic, even if well-intentioned.

So the problem is that Congress has failed to act to block the new abusive behaviors of the ISPs, and we need Congress to write new laws. Personally I think that if sufficient leeway were granted to encourage local competition, all of this and a bunch of other abuses (exhibit A: Comcast customer support) would vanish in a puff of smoke.

Side note, I happily donate every month to the EFF, but I believe they are misguided in their support for lawsuits like those announced today.

These only work if the destination isn't an event that requires attendees to be presentable and thus avoid smelling like cyclists. (And if it was close enough for a "casual-effort cycling" then it was close enough to walk, too.)

These are illegal in a huge number of places, iirc.
What have you found works well for weather proofing? What is the weather like in your service area? Any good stories or discoveries?

I seem to remember a funny video on YouTube where a tech opened a radome and a metric ton of acorns fell out. I'd pull it up, but I'm on mobile.
In practice, it may not be possible to neatly classify any particular financial decision as being purely investment or purely speculation. This only increases the need to have these words mean clearly different things so that we may use them to analyze the different aspects of the ambiguous world in which we find ourselves. Blurring the meaning of the words effectively robs people of the ability to reason about their circumstances, and it is no wonder that many people feel invested in creating such confusion.

anyone who is going a move from monolith to microservices on top of AWS is a potential user of twirp and it will save tons of time on design and implementation. that's a lot of value and for a lot more people than just Twitch.
That's the null hypothesis. It seems to make intuitive sense. I still need to read up before I find out if that is how it actually worked.
Just for context this is the all you can eat monthly plan for the CTA and the suburban bus system. It represents something like 50 per ride, no transfer train trips per month.

> I've had similar problems in past relationships - for some of my partners, if they were anywhere within earshot of me, I could not get anything productive done. The mere feeling of their presence made me think of them, feel like I had to interact with them, etc..

This happens to me a lot. I have found 3 things are key to solving the problem:

1) Having an honest conversation with your Person about interacting with you during work hours. When you're working you do not exist. Eventually they get the hang of it and leave you be.

2) Noise cancelling headphones or some other form of controlling the soundscape around you. I find music helps me ignore distracting things happening around me.

3) A physical space dedicated to working. This helps both from building healthy habits and tricking your brain into work mode and from signaling to people around you that you are now working and are not to be disturbed unless you come out and interact first.

The part I have yet to figure out and probably never will is how to translate these habits into the day job office. Coworkers have a hard time understanding the idea of "leave you alone" because part of the job is to be available for questions and teamwork.

Can't have it all I guess.

Also, I have found this to be an issue more when I'm writing than when I'm coding and mostly just when I'm getting started. Once I'm in the flow you could set off a bomb near me and even if I did notice I'd just get right back to it.
I am a Wisconsinite, and I voted for Republicans that are pushing this into place. This whole thing stinks and I'm upset about it. I voted for job creation through lower taxes, not job creation through direct corporate handouts and bribery.

Outside of principled arguments against this sort of thing, one blatant issue is that Wisconsin taxpayers are paying for something that bolsters job creation in the Chicago Metropolitan Statistical Area. Racine is not Milwaukee, Racine is Chicago. The jobs being created and the local economy stimulus are going to spread to Elgin and Waukegan before it makes its way to West Bend and Janesville.

I skimmed the readme but didn't see the answer to what I regard as a basic question. How is this different from a view? I can easily make derived columns based on functions and reference those in other views (performance issues aside).
I don't know whether racing drivers are bad drivers when on the normal streets. It wouldn't particularly surprise me if they were.

The kind of game that I think is most likely to cause problems isn't the one that's simulating Formula-1 style racing or rally driving. I saw a game once (I don't know what it was called, but I expect it's a whole genre) where the players were choosing normal-people cars and racing through normal-people streets, with an emphasis on realism.

That's when I thought « If the people complaining about video games damaging people's brains were serious, they should be concerned about this much more than pretend warfare. ».
It is possible today, thankfully not necessary.

By the time they're necessary, it'll be a lot less demanding, relatively speaking....

LET IT GO – INSPIRATIONAL VIDEO
I'd agree if the team has no senior engineers, or in which the senior engineers are not adept at finding and communicating the issues you note, that the EM should fill in the gaps. I'd be skeptical of the long term viability of such a team. What you describe is more properly the purview of a Lead/Principal Engineer, in my opinion. The people in those roles should be able to communicate the technical issues to the EM, and the EM should have the technical chops to understand it (and the code). She shouldn't be hip-deep in builds and coding, and shouldn't need to be.

That's not to say no coding should be done by the EM, but it shouldn't be "impactful" in the same way an IC's coding activities should be.
The impossibility of separating the two concepts necessitates two different words for those concepts?

That's a contradiction.

IMO the 12 inch MacBook is a weird proposition since it neither has the power of mbp nor the battery backup of mba. From the anecdotal reviews I read in various forums it’s performace is somewhat lower than the mba but I’m not sure if that’s true.

The figures on that page don’t mean that 83% of developers use PHP... Just that some things written in PHP are very popular. I’m sure that most of that figure is packages like WordPress.
It's interesting because most of the literature you can find on the web just states that using MS Defender only is OK and you don't need anything else.

this is a TA based idea, so please know I'm presenting it neutrally with full knowledge that TA is anathema to this crowd: volume profile at the various price points suggests somewhere in the 5k range. You can talk yourself into higher ones, lots of experienced people expect 8k, but to me the "clear" support is closer to 5k. Who knows, though; I don't claim to.
> The question is why don’t they collaborate and unify the efforts?

I have really wondered this. I suspect that the two projects had slightly different goals in the beginning, and are now slowly borrowing ideas from each other.

I think the only way they could truly merge is if ECMAScript standardized the subset which they both use and then TS and Flow could be used to introduce experimental proposals kind of like Babel does now.

A vitamix blender is the best thing I've ever purchased. I don't really care for eating salads, but I try to eat healthy. So I will blend combinations of the following: greens, apple, celery, cucumber, oranges, lemon, ginger, frozen pineapple, and frozen mango, and plain protein. Wakes me up better than coffee, and keeps me full till lunch.
The concepts are easy to separate: Investment is symbiotic, Speculation is parasitic. Having clear concepts is more important when the real-world examples are complicated.
Let me rebuke just one part of the post: the example with Newton's laws. Of course everyone knows that Navier-Stokes is just a very nice approximation. That doesn't mean that mathematical results about Navier-Stokes can't improve or understanding of the physics side. For instance, if we find a solution which blows up, that may lead us to a correction to the model or (less likely) it may be actually physically realizable.
How is speculation parasitic?
Actually, I think the current state of the art is significantly easier than PHP was, in that you just choose your langauge and the framework written in your language, start it and go to localhost and some port. It used to be that you had to have a web host, and then( sure you could just drop PHP in place, but you still needed that host. Setting anything up yourself required twiddling with Apache and mod_php (or using a distro that shipped with packages that enabled it by default).

The whole "start up a little webserver in the same language" trend makes everything much* easier to develop.

Where PHP still has an edge is deployment for non-development. If you just want to drop in some software and use it on the web (e.g. a bulletin board), PHP is still easier in many cases for novice users. But that's not development, it's just deployment.

I would even hazard that correct deployment of that software in a secure way is made harder by PHP's ease of deployment, as you have to rely on permissions in lieu of separate locations that have no remote read access, as many frameworks implement.
Redesigning Hawaii’s Emergency Alert
Thank you for your your impressions, we would try to improve it as much as we can. Answering your ideas:
1) You do NOT have to provide your email address, just type there anything if you don't want to provide your real address (it is not validated in any way), however, we would be very thankful if you provide your address, so we can track now how many people are using Luna and if there are any problems happening when you are using it. The detailed logs we collect are described here: http://www.luna-lang.org/alpha-data.html

2) Thank you! If you have any ideas how to make it more lightweight and still work across all platforms, while providing users with the easiest possible installation experience (double click and install using a graphical installer without any manual configuration), please tell us about it using github issues here: https://github.com/luna/luna-manager
We would love to simplify it if that would be possible! We were focusing on delivering unified experience across all platforms and it is important for us, especially when we will be targetting not only developers (but also domain experts, like bioinformatics, IoT developers etc) in the near future.

3) I would be thankful if you create issue regarding lack of proper XFCE support and tell us what the installer should do on XFCE. I know that it is working correctly under Gnome and KDE. You can find Luna installation in ~/.luna/bin/luna-studio/current/luna-studio :)
From the article since you were unable to access.

The ban, they say, will be finalized in 2025, when all farms in the country will be shut down. It’s unclear, at the moment, how this will affect the sale of fur (whether Norway intends simply to stop producing it).

Norway is a large fur producer with over 300 fur farms, with farms breeding and killing over 700,000 minks and 110,000 foxes every year — simply for their fur. They’re far from the largest manufacturer (that’d be China) but they aren’t the smallest either.
So because some guy at big tech co was reprimanded for publishing his opinions on the matter (the veracity of which we don't even need to get into), the real injustice here is a man's inability to speak, not a woman's inability to do her job in a safe/supportive environment?

Both speech and gender issues are complex, no doubt. But what I do have are my own very real, collected experiences as well as those of many other women I've talked to and read about on the topic. There is also plenty of data if you look. [0] It's getting tiring to have to continually explain to men that yes! This is actually a problem! No matter whether you think you've seen differently, no matter what your probably good intentions are. This stuff is happening all around you, and hey, maybe it's because you've enjoyed a lifetime of it not happening to you that you aren't constantly attuned to it.

In the middle of LA and I only have 2 providers, 20mbps from ATT or 60 from Spectrum aka TimeWarner. Realistically I get ~50mbps from TW. I know that the LA area has TONS of internet access issue, where only newer buildings might get fiber. Even at work it was a whole ordeal for my company to get fiber to the building. This kind of solution in a city setup like LA, where most of it is flat, it rains 2ice a year and barely has any trees (palm trees don't cover much), seems ideal!
The Foxconn plant will only start with 3,000 jobs with the 'maximum potential' of 13,000 jobs.

Note the qualifiers 'could' and 'maximum potential' before any quote of 13,000 jobs in any news article. It is in Foxconn's best interest to inflate the 'max potential' number as high as it can. 3,000 instead of 13,000 jobs makes a lot less sense for the state.

I would like to read the suit, because I don't think they have a leg to stand on. If the FCC can make the regulations, they can rescind them. The only thing maybe is process, but that only delays the inevitable.
Getting Foxconn to Wisconsin is going to end up being a ridiculous boondoggle. They’ll reap the rewards of massive tax cuts and Wisconsin will never see any upside.

Hey! For now the best way to interact with Postgres is, I think, using an HTTP wrapper server. A better way to do this needs to be created. Maybe as a community effort? ;)

What ever happened to the supposed value of "hot" domain names? Right, we got search, and got used to typing in weird strings, and stopped caring about owning car.com or whatever.
> But since so many Americans live in the suburbs without easy access to public transportation, car ownership just makes the best sense for some people.

And I doubt many folks would have a problem with that, except for the fact that car transportation is by far the most heavily subsidized lifestyles around without even factoring environment or societal external costs. Add suburbs to that and the people living the worst possible lifestyle for the environment are being bailed out by the rest of the country who does not live like that.

That's my major problem with car culture in the US. It's basically welfare for the wealthiest of Americans.
The vast majority of people own derivatives, not physical gold.
> I validate an object manually and I still have to do an "any" cast in Flow because Flow does not recognize that my `if` statement secures the type.

Try this instead:

import { reify } from 'flow-runtime'
import type { Type } from 'flow-runtime'
type YourData = { ... }
const unknownObject: mixed = ...
const validatedObject: YourTarget = (reify: Type<YourData>).assert(unknownObject)

See https://github.com/codemix/flow-runtime/issues/150 and https://codemix.github.io/flow-runtime/#/docs/type-refinemen...

The `reify` marker from flow-runtime and the accompanying Babel plugin will produce a runtime type object that can validate your data at runtime according to your Flow types.
I had the time in mind. The ambiguity was a consequence of poor writing. I doubt this takes more than a minute or two in reality, and it's only necessary for perhaps a quarter of the year. Averages to around 30 seconds a day if it takes 2 minutes when necessary.

No it's not about keywords, but about jumping through fiery hoops to create code that sounds like natural language when you read it out loud.
It's great that Mozilla is stepping up to do the right thing. Hope that other tech giants follow suit.
