A related skill is being strategic about what really needs to be done right now. If you hit a roadblock, some people will just stop. Some will ask around and stop if there are no easy answers. Some will persevere until they hit their head so hard against the wall that the wall gives way.

Some people will check if this is really a critical thing to accomplish right now, and just work around it when it makes sense. This can be the difference between 100% done, six weeks late, and 95% done on time, with a small outstanding improvement left to complete. It may even be easier to do when other work is done first.

Sometimes you can't go around it -- then the honey badger does surely take the day! But I've found (and seen) a lot of success in asking yourself / a Product Owner if a feature can be delayed, or even cut.
I never used any third-party antivirus software. AFAIK both Windows and macOS have built-in antivirus software, although I think that it's not required either. Properly patched software to minimize risk of RCE vulnerability and brain to avoid running untrusted programs should be enough.

Since you are paying the seller immediately before they pay the agent, "the seller is paying" seems like a technicality. In theory, if you could remove the seller's obligation to pay that additional 3%, you could get up to a 3% discount on the house.
Like reading a human language, once you can "sound it out", so to speak, it's something once typically gets better at by practicing.

With well-structured code, as with a well-structured essay, you can learn to skim to get an overview before your deep dive by focusing on the beginning and end of every chapter/paragraph/etc (e.g. function definition and return statement; gate for each block; treating header files as Table of Contents; etc). But most code is no better structured than your average Tumblr post, so that's kind of hit and miss.

And as with reading human language, you can learn techniques for taking notes as you go along to guide yourself or remember important details; but the technique that one person finds helpful may be a waste of time for another.

I once was having dinner with a girl and the topic of conversation drifted to dreams and how one might tell if one is in an "Inception" type scenario. I used the menu as an example-- read a line from the menu, close the booklet, reopen and reread the same line. I told her if the two lines aren't the same line, you're dreaming (the rendering hardware in your brain apparently uses different PRNG seeds for procedural texture generation).

I paused awkwardly as I realized that items in the menu kept changing each time I reread them.

She was very offended when I told her she was a figment of my imagination.
macOS does not have built-in antivirus software, hence the question.
That's a very common and entirely overblown hypothesis. Sure, there are student protests about a tiny number of speakers each year. But there have been student protests about anything ever since there have been students.

> More importantly, though, we can see here why reaching broad conclusions from sets of anecdotes is inadvisable. There are around 2,600 four-year universities in the United States. Friedersdorf tried to compile all of the most outrageous instances from a single year, and found about 10 of them. Those 10 were probably roughly evenly distributed according to the political affiliation of the students; i.e. there are more shutdown attempts by liberal students than conservative students, but students are also more liberal. And among those high-profile incidents, a bunch of the speakers ended up coming and speaking and the petitions went nowhere.

But in the case of climate change anyone over thirty-five or so knows damn well the weather has gone funny.

People are scared, way deep down where it's hard to think about, because they know on a cellular billion-year-old level that you cannot escape the weather.

Once you grasp that, climate denialism is an obvious coping mechanism to prevent mass blind panic. It is a terrible thing to face the destruction of all that you love.

In any event, deepfakes are a shocking thing to have to deal with and we are sooooo unprepared.

Our New Publishing Platform Will Make You a Better Writer
I didn't mean to endorse Weaver's views, only to summarize them.
As a part-time group fitness instructor (full-time software dev), I use iTunes to create and organize playlists of varying lengths for the classes I teach, and to make variants of some of the playlists, i.e. for a little more variety when revisiting past material. I find it to be both a useful and frustrating tool for that purpose. On the whole, I feel the interface has gotten more clunky over the years. However, I no longer have to worry about syncing devices as I (finally) figured out the iCloud Music Library feature; now, I just create/alter/delete a playlist on my laptop and then my iPhone, iPad, and iPod automatically pick up the changes. If there's a tool with a better interface that will seamlessly integrate playlist curation across my iOS devices and macOS laptop, I'd seriously love to hear about it.

If the answer to that is 'yes', honestly, just suck it up and install it. It will be cheaper, easier and far less annoying to install some AV in your CDE than to have to explain why you didn't in the event of a breach.

(Note --- Post breach audits are my personal definition of hell.)

Otherwise, anti-virus is reactive and tends to protect against the lowest hanging fruit, all while introducing a real cost to everything else you do on that machine. Personally, I'd skip AV and just do a bit of security training.

For aluminum, you purify it, oxidize it, and then fuse it into a single crystal of corundum.

A hybrid alumina-silica glass can be created. The hybrid glass has a higher elastic modulus than other silica glass systems, and sheets of it can bend further before fractures form. This glass can be further toughened by creating it with high sodium content, then later exchanging the sodium ions with potassium ions. This type of glass is probably in your pocket right now.

Doped alumina-yttria hybrids are also useful in lasers.
5 reasons why it is worth using event registration soft for training and courses
Not really. There is tremendous opportunity cost involved in continued malinvestment. Those employees could have better jobs with better future promotion and pay raise prospects. Those customers might be better served by someone else. Those creditors will lose less money if they don't extend-and-pretend. Others who could be using the failed company's resources instead (especially if acquired at fire-sale prices) will have to wait if the company fails slowly.

These things really have to be considered. Imagine a gym in an extended decline. Its locations and machines will not get enough maintenance, and will lose value faster, thus losing more customers sooner too, which will make extend-and-pretend yield even worse results. Better fail quickly or find management that can turn things around.

The more promising angle is imho the society angle. Most people view their memory as the best source of truth, when in reality it's well established in psychology that our memory is incredibly unreliable. Previously this was mostly a problem for the justice system, now we risk entire nations being gaslighted. What we should be doing is trusting our written word, not our memory. Basically writing diaries and keeping newsletter articles, and checking both from time to time to keep wrong memories from manifesting

> "Raw data is freely available (noaa and others)"

But still - this is a matter of whether one chooses to trust NOAA and others. His point isn't really even about climate change. It's about debating the merits of any position, and what sources of information you trust to reinforce your position.
The catch is it is more like an artists interpretation. Anyone expecting that it will truly fix old damaged pictures to be like they were is going to be disappointed. Anyone just wanting to fill in some gaps will be excited. (Same for just procedural generation of some images, I suppose. Would be neat to see what it can do from a very low fidelity outline of a house/forest/etc.)
Your own data contradicts your argument. Assuming you're using Glassdoor as a reference like you mentioned, than Boise engineers make $85k and SF engineers make $145k - I am not filtering by title for either of those.

My anecdotal experience is engineers in SF make more than $140k, and engineers in Pittsburgh make less than $85k (although this is probably no longer true with all of the self-driving startups there now). I would suspect engineers in Boise make less than Pittsburgh, but I've never talked to anyone there.
What's the takeaway here?

I would say: there's business to be had by questioning all the conventional wisdom.

And: customers like low prices.
A lot of that is self-inflicted complexity and following latest business trends (read: mostly hype). Things like opting for distributed cluster and map-reduce where a couple of unix commands piped together, running on a mid-tier laptop would do. Things like going with the latest and greatest web framework, that incidentally pulls in 5-layers deep stack and thousands of dependencies into your workflow.

Also related is typical business optimization - which usually means externalizing costs to users. Like, "CRUD apps were for one platform" - the cost of doing them for multiple platforms is at worst linear with the number of platforms, and most of that cost can be moved to a constant factor if you design your architecture correctly. It's a big deal, but it's not always that big of a deal. And contemporary alternatives result in applications sorta-working on multiple platforms at the price of one, but having half (or less) functionality.

It would be more efficient to cool the home while you're not there than to turn on AC immediately after you come home from work in a hot home.

> run 2 loads through my washer and dryer (cause I have 3 kids)

Surely you don't run 2 loads through your washer and dryer _EVERY_ day, do you? Do your children change clothes every 2 hours? Do you change bedding and towels every day?

Point being, I can come up with incredibly inefficient and wasteful scenarios too and then say "well, it doesn't serve my needs either, see!"

Shifting energy usage patterns is just as much part of being green as is generating energy in a renewable way. Just because you can come up with a scenario that isn't 100% addressed by that, doesn't mean it's not worth doing in aggregate.
They didn't use GAN for this.
One of the best anti-virus tools on any platform is a good adblocker (I prefer ublock origin). It completely removes large classes of infection sources (malvertising, fake download buttons, etc). Then disable macros in office products. If every IT department did that, they’d have much more time for useful work.

Whether you use antivirus or not, use an adblocker. Keeping broken monetisation strategies alive is not your job, keeping your data safe is.
The same things happens with mobile apps requesting more permissions than they should/need.

I'm even less optimistic about seeing a positive change there when it's embedded in many pages of a EULA.

At least the operating systems are getting better at explaining permissions, but it's only as good as the user reading them and understanding what they're giving away.
I don't believe there will be any silver bullet that will make people back to the open web any soon by sheer technical merit. In the meantime, we should not abandon efforts to make people understand why huge centralized walled gardens such as facebook are a problem.

If you want a book that uses national polls conducted over the past 40+ years, plus a little bit of anecdotal evidence to make the data tangible, I recommend iGen by Jean M. Twenge[0].

There's a noticeable trend that the kids of this upcoming generation are ill-prepared for college and expect the authorities to protect them. In highschool, they're less likely to go out without their parents or work a part-time job (And on a positive note, less likely to drink or have premarital sex).

Is it that hot in your area that you have to run air conditioner for 3-4 hours after sunset? Typically solar output correlates really nicely with the need for air conditioning. Washing and drying could be done say on a weekend ( during daylight hours ).

Many water heaters come with an integrated storage tank for hot water so they can actually be used as a form of energy storage. That leaves lights in your example and yes battery like powerwall will be more than enough to power modern energy efficient lighting and electronics overnight.

Is this because (a) LabVIEW is high level and C is low level, or (b) because LabVIEW can't handle some complex algorithms?

(a) doesn't bother me as using a low-level language for low level tasks is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

> "His thread references the "debate" over climate change, and his point is that the debate most people participate in isn't truly a debate over facts, but rather a debate over trust..."

Spot on. What the more purely science-mind can't seem to grasp is facts are only as good as the receivers' trust of the source. The irony is, there's plenty of science to support this. Yet, ironically, science too ignores itself.

If Science were a brand it would be in need of a makeover. But instead of owning it's many shortcomings and past transgressions (e.g., consuming Y is safe only to find out it causes birth defects, cancer,etc.) Science blames the customer/consumer.

That too, as we all know is a big mistake.

Sure, I side with Science. But I also know it could use an extensive education in dog fooding if it wants to regain its traction (read: credibility and trust) in the market.
I perceive your comment as nothing more than an ad hominem attack, so I struggle to understand why others have apparently voted it up.

The main reasons I trust any sources of information is that I trust that they hold themselves to a standard of journalism - such as verifying their sources. Doing original primary research into subjects.

When a video shows up in my Facebook news feed, I'm now more suspicious of it than ever before. Especially if it's from some source that I do not believe holds themselves to any journalistic standard.

I'm not pretending authority is an easy problem - it's not. I trust my pediatrician to be my proxy into understanding the world of pediatric medicine, I trust her as an authority. My family trusts me to be a proxy into understanding the world of technology, they trust me as an authority. And I have learned over time that some journalistic sources are good at reporting - they have a good track record, given the perspective of time.

And it's not even "old" versus "new." I quickly trusted the perspective of fivethirtyeight.com. Even in the crucible of debate, I find snopes vastly more right than they are wrong.

Video evidence used to be entirely damning. We should all ask harder questions now, rather than just taking some random video on faith.

Uh, that's not quite exact. That may be something americans think, but at least here in Europe we have rules that control the speech that happens at private venues that enable public speech (like, newspapers).

For example if a newspaper publishes inaccurate information about a person, that person has the right to publish a correction[1] explaining their point of view on the subject; and the newspaper is forced by law to publish the correction in the same venue and same prominence. This is considered quite sensible to us.

Despite never enabling location services, Facebook once (briefly) gave me a weather forecast when I was traveling. Spooked me quite a bit.

The best I could figure is that I temporarily enabled access to my camera roll so I could post a few photos (ordinarily I just copy/paste them to keep Facebook out of my photos), and either it scanned the photos' exif data during upload or directly from the roll once I enabled it.

I wasn't remotely surprised to find that particular piece of location data wasn't part of the data download.
