Hmm, that’s true. Thanks for your comment, you inspired me to think about creating a platform for independent sales agents, and then I found commissioncrowd.com. I’ve signed up and booked a call with one of their representives. I’ve been putting off sales, but I really need to take that seriously.
One problem for me, living in Denmark, is that all the books at the library are in Danish. I prefer to read books in their original language, or at least in an English or German translation, which are usually markedly superior to the Danish translations.

If I want a book in English, I either have to special order it at the library and wait for a week to get it, or I have to buy it myself.
I never got used to krunner probably cause I didn't yet have a Mac everytime I tried it. I might have to give it a shot again. I feel like redoing my OS on my laptop so I may run a newer copy of Kubuntu and try again. Thanks for the heads up. Did you map it to a similar key combination or just used whatever the default key bindings were?
While the post was very entertaining, it did not actually answer the question. We don't know why higher primates (and bats) have periods.
I had former-engineer managers, who were the first to acknowledge that their technical skills weren't up to date. It makes a huge difference if you can explain a technical problem to someone who has solid base skills in the field or if you have to dumb it down to layman level.
It depends on what you are doing. Many are just middleman, so they sell conversions they drive from FB, the difference of which is your profit. You have an incentive to keep conversion cost as low as possible and quality as high as possible to maintain your conversion payoff.

Driving it into the ground might be profitable for a product owner but not to an ad agency which pockets the middle.
Perhaps this is obvious but a simpler solution is to just install [1] Android Auto on your Android phone. Does this work on iOS? Of course not.

I was watching this youtube video [0] about KDE neon and loved the customizations that the person had made. I tried out a KDE distro in a VM and made the required changes : use an app icon based task manager, set 4 virtual desktops over 2 rows and set the same desktop wallpaper shown in the video [1] and it looks incredible. It's been at least 4 years since I last used KDE and was blown away by how stable and lightweight it has become (I hear it uses less resources than even Gnome). And there's also the infinite customization options and it looks good out of the box.

Now I'm considering switching to Fedora KDE as my daily driver. For people who use Fedora KDE as their daily driver : what's your experience with this distro? Anything that people new to this Fedora spin need to be aware of? Any thoughts on the security track record of Fedora KDE?

Few hotels at the $100 mark has any staff to speak off onsite during the night. A night porter, and a single guy in the kitchen, if there's overnight room service. These people, while probably nice, will be fairly limited in their ability to perform more than the most rudimentary services for you.

You're in hospital because your condition is such that you might need emergency high-grade medical attention on moments notice. If you don't, you're better off going home (or, indeed, checking in to a hotel).

Try to work out what a hotel would cost that would serve you and ten guests en eight course haute cuisine tasting menu from your choice of five different cuisines at 15 minutes notice at any point during the day or night, and you're closer to the answer.
Flutter has the builtin ability to mimic platform conventions (Android on Android, iOS on iOS), which includes scrolling, animations, fonts, etc.

If you have an Android phone you can download Flutter Gallery app from Play Store, go to the menu and flip behavior from Android to iOS. Suddenly you have an app that behaves like an iOS app. Here is a demo like that from the early days: https://youtu.be/Mx-AllVZ1VY?t=11m23s
Are data corruption defects treated the same way as other things? i.e., would kernels get shipped with known defects that cause data corruption under load? I could see kernels being shipped with known cases of hanging, crashes, out of memory, etc., but the same for data corruption under load would be a little hard to swallow.
> What about managers who have had experience like a decade ago and don't do much tech experience anymore.

Do you think any of the "bullshit engineers engage in with respect to fad chasing, bikeshedding and other negative practices." will change in 20 years?

> If for any reason whatsoever that doesn't work for you

What category of young person, wanting to live in an expensive city, cannot have roommates?
> There's also like two different file managers

That was one of the weirdest choices of the KDE4 transition, when KDE people looked drunk on power as they rewrote critical bits of the system with abandon. Dolphin appeared and was supposed to be the new blessed filemanager (for no good reason except that "it's all Qt4"), but the old one never went away (because it was much more powerful and less buggy already, unsurprisingly). A typical Linux-desktop migration, in other words.

> KDE will open websides in more than just Konqueror but another weird browser-like thing

As far as I know that's still very much Konqueror, it's just that menus might be a bit different when it's embedded in the filemanager.
I have mapped it to meta + R (more mnemonic) from the default Alt + F2.

I use it a lot for quick calculations.
I think it might work with expensive Android phones if you do that every 6 months or even less... (keep the box and phone intact of course).
I totally was! In my defense it was rather a while ago and I did use both.
I run Fedora KDE on my desktop.

It’s ok but I don’t know that I’d recommend it specifically over anything.

Literally the only reason I use Linux still is that Firefox and Chrome have too many bugs and issues on FreeBSD, otherwise I’d run FreeBSD on my desktop too as I do on my server and one of my two laptops.

My other laptop is currently running macOS but I almost haven’t used it since I put macOS on it, partly because the mouse stops working after a while but also because I’ve just been busy with a lot of other stuff so I haven’t had time to sit down with macOS since installing it on said laptop some weeks ago. Time flies by way too fast.
"The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness. Although the two are identical twins, man, as a rule, views the prenatal abyss with more calm than the one he is headed for (at some forty-five hundred heartbeats an hour). I know, however, of a young chronophobiac who experienced something like panic when looking for the first time at homemade movies that had been taken a few weeks before his birth. He saw a world that was practically unchanged — the same house, the same people — and then realized that he did not exist there at all and that nobody mourned his absence. He caught a glimpse of his mother waving from an upstairs window, and that unfamiliar gesture disturbed him, as if it were some mysterious farewell. But what particularly frightened him was the sight of a brand-new baby carriage standing there on the porch; even that was empty, as if, in the reverse order of events, his very bones had disintegrated."
I'm always seeing ads for Japan Crate on Facebook. If it weren't for HN posts I'd have never heard of Candy Japan.
This is fascinating.

Unmentioned, after commenting that Borges reviewed Dunne's work in 1940, however, is that the permanence of objects in time relates thematically to Jorge Luis Borges' own writing, recalling in particular The Garden of Forking Paths [1941]. I couldn't prove a causal connection, but it seems to cast a a commentary on Borges' post-1940 short stories.

Nabokov also played with the idea of reverie or dream-like states of consciousness. I've only had the pleasure to have read Pale Fire this far, but there is a careful blending of rational thought, creative (meta-)fiction, "dream logic" and actual insanity. In it, untangling what's real and and what's not left me with much the same sensation as trying to figure out whether something once happened to me years before or I just had a vivid dream.
Blue screen errors are most often caused by RAM issues. I remember very well that I was facing blue screen error at my work once, & upon searching I found that all I need to do is remove the RAM, clean and dust it, and put it back into the same or another RAM socket.
No, it's "server-side does proper sanitization for server-side rendering" and "client does proper sanitization for client-side rendering", but when both are combined, they allow XSS, because server-side-rendered page is re-interpreted as a client-side template.

The flaw is not immediately obvious, because each renderer is safe in isolation.

Programmer's Oath
KDE seems to have won a lot of ground since the pre-plasma days. All I hear about it is how good it is. As a guy who can't be arsed to change the desktop environment for his installs, I hope it becomes standard on more distros. Not that I'm unhappy with gnome, but it's silly that it's the defacto default for most of them.

Using the Windows/meta key as launcher shortcut is supported, but enabling it is a bit opaque.

1. Right click on the application launcher

2. Select "Application Launcher Settings"

3. Select the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab

4. Set the shortcut to "Alt + F1"

5. Click "Apply" or "OK"

Verified this works on whatever 5.12 spin is on Kubuntu backports.

Optimism is good, but it could have turned for the worse: we are lucky that we had the 'nuclear taboo' ; nukes are kept strictly as a weapon of last resort. If nukes were to be used in 'limited conflicts' then we all would life in quite shitty place. (in the real world nukes kept Europe safe and prevented big wars between regional/superpowers)

I think we should be thankful for our extreme luck.

You never know how the next advance in science & technology will change the pace and character of human conflict.
That's a good point, there's indeed a problem with mafia-like behavior in Rroma groups. Don't just assume they all rely on begging, though, we see a lot of them in seasonal agriculture, and they make good money there.

Regarding difference between rights and expectations, there are two layers, there. There is the laws that apply to anyone with the rights that apply to anyone, and the laws that apply to citizen and the rights that apply to citizen (which rromas are not, most of the time). I'm not a lawyer, but I would tend to think the laws most often apply to everyone and the rights most often apply to citizen, except for basic decency. There's an exception regarding the laws : when a law makes mandatory for a child to go to school, it is usually only about citizens' children.

Now, we could certainly ask more of those people to disband mafias and enforce human rights. But I'm not under the impression it's what we try to do, in europe. What I see most of the time is attempts to push them away and to hell with them.

It's not being a weirdo to love KDE. It's an excellent desktop and I'm surprised more distros don't have it as default.

My History of Visual Studio (2009)
It's an example of major cities taking on what really is a federal problem. NYC and LA run welfare programs using local tax dollars. This is so obviously a federal-level problem that requires a massive federal project to solve. Putting this burden on the local residents of LA, SF, NYC etc is incredibly unfair. It's also inefficient to build homeless shelters in dense LA county when there is so much cheap land throughout the country (with people looking for work, too).
A Hidden Muscle in Your Body That Can Makes 90% Health Problem,You Wont Believe
My company sells niche high value software in the same value ball park as the OP and the only thing that works is high touch sales.

My advice is stay away from outsourced sales. It is possible that you might find a good one, but you are more likely to find the secret of how to turn lead into gold.

The major problem you will have starting out is good sales people won't work for a business without an established sales process. Of course without good sales people it is hard to establish an effective sales process (nice catch 22). You are probably best grabbing someone new and keen and hitting the road with them until you have an established process that works. Then hire sales people.
"There must be a term for this kind of question."

I agree. It might be summed up as "Why other people have different preferences than I do ?"

"Why do people buy expensive clothes/cars/watches/tech ?"

Mostly because other people are different from you and will place different value to things than what you might.

Their financial condition might also differ from yours, and maybe $800 dollars are pocket money for them.

It is surprsing in how many contexts the same concept can be applied: "Why so many people complain about bezels ?"

Because other people are different from you, and possibly will place more value on a phone's aesthetics rather than its software or processing power.

TL;DR A lot of other people are different from you. It is surprising to me how this does not seem to be common knowledge.
Anecdote: It takes less than 10 minutes. I call the local iPhone/Mac dealer, we agree on a time, they come, give me money, I give them the device and it's done.

I see a lot of comments here like “this is just standard XSS” and I think that misses the bigger point (even if the author failed to properly articulate it). The real problem here is making assumptions that then are broken.

“Reflecting user input back to the user in a basic server side app? Just output encode it, now no XSS/html injection!”

That makes assumptions about how the outputed user input will be used and appear in the markup. As soon as the reality changes (that output is now input into a client-side interpretation environment) the code has a vuln. This is important lesson to learn and it doesn’t matter what JavaScript framework or backend framework is being used: when you change assumptions you need to review any security decisions that were made on those assumptions.

(This is also a solid example why output encoding alone isn’t sufficient to protect against XSS, Because output encoding makes assumptions about how the output is being used. Input validation is key and should be the primary way to protect against most injection attacks, followed by various types of output encoding or parameterization)

Before continuing the conversation, can I ask you to take a moment to step back and ask yourself with honesty whether you think that these statements imply that I am saying that you are not a good person because you also behave this way.

Because if so, there is a - perfectly reasonable - misunderstanding of my intent here. Read what I wrote again, more closely: all it is describing is a societal norm that I would like to get rid of. If you think you don't act that way, great!

This is not an accusation, it would be a perfectly understandable response (I get defensive all the time when my GF points things out to me).

At no point am I talking about you, nor saying that you are "not a real man". At no point am I saying that you are a bad person if you do or do not act this way. I'm sorry that you feel defensive, but there really is no need to. I'm not accusing you, nor would I blame you or any man for having toxic masculine behaviours. It's not your fault to be raised in a society with those norms, after all.

If you have the time, please watch Why Are You So Angry? by Innuendo Studios[0]. It also goes into how societal norms about good and evil train us to think things are about us and personal attacks when they aren't (the video highlights gamergate, but the process is not gender specific).

But the short version is: people tend to get very defensive about topics like sustainability, feminism, racism, animal rights, etcetera, because it makes them question whether they are good people or not. But ultimately, that is a self-centered response. Whether or not one's actions make them a good person is ultimately less important than whether or not what they do is the right thing to do.

ML in practice (from my xp) is mostly getting and cleaning data. As far as training, testing, and deploying a model, to an engineer it's just more algorithms.

While some algorithms may have more explainability than others, the engineer cares if they solve the business problem at hand.
What about the issue with being able to read notifications?

I'm planning to buy an S8+ or similar soon, since its so much cheaper than Google Pixel, which isn't really officially sold here in Brazil (I loved my Nexus 5 though).
As others have said, it's perfectly possible to get published without a PhD. I had a paper published as an undergrad and I have helped a couple of people, who worked for me in industry, get published.

I haven't tried it but I would expect that getting published on your own, and without prior experience of publishing, will be quite hard. There are a fair number of, often implicit, conventions that you're expected to follow.

My recommendation is to ask someone, at a university, who has published in your field to help. Or suggest someone to help. My experience of doing this has been positive but I appreciate that that is very anecdotal. This can work because they'll be named on the paper too so it's potentially beneficial for both parties.

BTW if you don't know of anyone in that position, that would be symptomatic of an issue that you'll have getting published. You'll be expected to have a reasonable understanding of the state of art in the field and be able to cite it. If you're not already in that position I would strongly recommend that that be the first thing you do.

Good luck. Hope it works out for you.
I absolutely love Flutter! It feels like what Android development should be like in todays day.

No XML or descriptive interface mumbo jumbo. You write your interface purely programmatically and it's easy to read afterwards. It also looks very good and supports most of Material Design's components.
Great built-in library. Dart has some very neat features. I especially love the handling of asynchronies operations. Either use promises or the async and await syntax.
I agree with your point that we should consider the evidence, and conclusions, presented to us as the work product of scientists. Especially as much of the information is shaped by innumerable cognitive biases.

However, I’m fascinated that someone could realistically doubt the “theory of evolution.” For one thing, it is very much an active area of research, with new discoveries all the time. (Reading about the epigenetic aspects of hereditary traits kind of blew my mind. It turns out that animals adaptions to specific environments can influence later generations.)

So how do consign a relatively young area of research, that is making concrete contributions to science as being akin to religious belief?

The specifics, and controversies, of evolutionary theory, and it’s scientific cousins, are quite complex, and it seems rather capricious to wave it all away as if it was some cartoon theory of reality.

My own, very limited, view of the weakness of evolution as a theory, is that it can seem like a “just so theory,” almost true by tautology.

But the mechanisms of natural selection, and hereditary transfer of traits are so well established that to dismiss the lot of it strikes me as irrational.
As a German, I'd say that this perfectly describes the situation in Germany as well, including your last paragraph. The erosion of trust among Germans has also started a long time ago, no later than the early nineties.
