> What you want is an effectively endless sink for developer logs (Splunk is fine but expensive, ELK is fine but complicated to manage

I'm pretty happy with sumo. A couple things I wish they'd change, but their core competency is searching logs and metrics and they do that really well. It is paid (there is a free tier but we outgrew it quickly) bit it's well worth it IMHO.

> But really: focus on removing attack surface, rather than continuously monitoring it.

So much this. Logs are great for telling you something bad has already happened and what that was, both security and faults. Reducing the attack service will get you more mileage from a security pov (again, in my opinion). Logs need to he there and some basic trawling of them is also necessary, but is purely reäctive.

Maybe it's better than petroleum? The hell? It's not only better, EtOH becomes entirely neutral in the limit where it takes over. The carbon released from burning all comes from the plant, which in turn all comes from the air. All other carbon costs are incidental (e.g. it doesn't make sense to immediately convert transportation, farming, and production equipment) or one-off and amortizable (ploughing fields).
Sometimes the "curse of dimensionality" is a good thing :)
I don't know where it's like where you are, but around here, there's a dozen established eateries, and corners of strip malls that get new restaurants every 8 months or so. There's gotta be a solid profit in selling loans to people who have a dream of owning a restaurant (or bar, or eatery, or whatever), but haven't the faintest clue how to run the business.
Ok, I won't argue with that.

I don't see any way I could convince you of anything believably, since I'm just some stranger on the internet.

Please just do me a favor and delete all the posts I've ever made from this account, thanks.
[Interview] Elizabeth Harrin on her professional project management workflow
Like your bank is not fraud too...
Absolutely.

There are companies that do face and eye tracking on large menu displays. They can AB test new menus or layouts quickly, on the fly during the day, at different locations. They can recognize customer demographic (maybe even individuals now), what they look at and for how long, and then tie that to what they buy.
> Makes me miss LA.

where people are simple, straightforward, and down to earth?

hmm.
> The typical situation is that employers need techies LOCALLY and can’t find them in the sort of numbers they’d ideally want which drives rates up: +1 techie.

There are local jobs here, but they are mostly pretty standard and boring (small business web sites and marketing), which I am not really interested to do.

Although there is a lot of competition on freelancer.com et al. at least there are jobs for most areas of expertise.

As mentioned, I am aware of the drawbacks (pay-cut by middleman, competition with a large pool of other workers), but it seems like a good idea to find your first clients.

Hopefully it is not bad reputation later on (this guy worked at Upworks) ...
Your attitude is double plus un-good.
This is very cool, thank you for sharing. I wonder if at least part of the structure comes from regular structure of major sequences of gaps (e.g., remove all even numbers and all factors of 3 and what is left is of the form 6k +/- 1).

If so, I would expect those to wash out a little for larger squares. I have some plotting to do when I get home

To me the most interesting aspect of the story is not that RMS has a God card. The interesting aspect is that RMS decided that blocking the change was so important that using the card was warranted. As RMS stated himself, he is using this power so rarely that developers don't know that it exist.

Why was preserving an old joke important enough to do this?

I sent mine to a Steiner / Waldorf school on the hope that this is more of a social / confidence building environment. Then I surrepticiously feed her inner geek at every opportunity I can find. My personal current favourite is Wild Kratts [0] which teaches a amazing number of things.

Also we send my daughter to a violin school where they teach the suzuki method which has a fairly nerdy type of group of parents that go there.

So it means she's in a school that accepts most types of people whilst exposing her to nerdy things outside of school.

Curiously I found that a lot of the parents who send their kids to a Steiner / Waldorf school tend to be nerdier. The best example was a couple where the mother was had a Philosophy degree with a Physics PhD and the father travelled around the world as a street puppeteer.

Its not just teenagers, and its not just that it isn't being taken seriously.

Surveyors are annoying and expect you to hand over your time and accurate information for free to do with as they please. And those are just the honest ones and not the ones trying to manipulate you. I never understood why anyone would just assume any survey data was accurate and unbiased.

The teenagers just haven't learned to mislead in subtle ways that are not so easy to exclude.

Thanks, this is uplifting information, and sounds like a good plan - start with low-paying jobs and be exceptional and then raise your rates and get first-hand clients.

How professional do they handle freelancer's and client's privacy? I will try to do my best but some things can and will go wrong. If things don't go well I don't want to loose my reputation because of some remote-work jobs site, because they or a client skrewed up.
In a post about population density, it probably makes sense to choose a projection that preserves area ratios.
Fork-join is not really a concurrency model, I don't understand why you are trying to push it in every message. But if you insist to treat it like a concurrency model..

> The model is that you can start a sequence of jobs to run in parallel, and then you have to wait for them all to finish.

Yes, that's the model.

> You get the results in the same order as the jobs you created.

No, you don't get the results in the same order. Jobs still finish in random order and store results before synchronization happens. Synchronization happens on join after that. And instead of relying on order you specify exactly from where you are getting the result of each individual job. So, if you have to specify that, why do you need an order then? Oh, you don't need it and you don't get to have it. It's not Erlang, where you can actually have a deterministic order and can wait for messages in any order you want, while it will reorder them for you.

It isn't really crypto specific. It is energy producing utility economics. If we had a price on carbon it would effect this equilibrium everywhere. If you accept that we have to change, and sooner rather than later due to inevitability - see Elon's turd in a punchbowl reference, and you accept we aren't going to curtail the things that we find useful that cost us energy, then a price on carbon would bring this about much quicker than without it and is really the only sensible option. Compared with the status quo, burn more dirty fuel faster and cheaply to prevent the economics of green tech coming online, and then, hoping we can innovate our way out of the shitty punchbowl.

There's no reason a kid without tech parents can't find out about the raspberry pi themselves and ask their parents for one. Or purchase it themselves. Just like a poor kid without tech parents in the 80s could find out about the Commodore 64 and buy a broken one and fix it, except now the computer is so cheap that there is no point in buying a broken one.

Being forced to fix things is one way to learn but it not the only way to learn.

It's definitely safer, and it does see quite a bit of usage in areas of the world with high quality cycling infrastructure. The fact that it doesn't see more usage is just a testament to the fact that most urban planners around the world don't care much about keeping cyclists safe.
This kind of thing drives me crazy. I've never understood the motivation behind it. The same goes for the use of the word "utilize", which in my experience, serves no purpose other than to make the author sound like a poser.
Some time ago I wrote just for fun this couple of lines:

echo 'Currently there are ' $(ver=(/bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin) && ls ${ver[*]} | wc -l) 'commands installed and available in the system'

This prints the man page of 3 random commands. One by one. Is a way to discover a few new commands each day. To go to the next command and exit press q. I hope you enjoy it.

commandoftheday=(/bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin) && ls ${commandoftheday} |sort -R |head -3 |xargs man '{}'
The most important things for this are:
- A good idea of what is normal traffic and behaviour on the web service.
- Good threat intel.

These 2 combined will make it fairly obvious what needs to be done, but obtaining these 2 items is not a trivial task, infact, they are both continuous processes.

> S. Asian history contains many varying political entities and cultures each covering varying sub-regions of the region covered today by India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh

Sure. However, the India that is being referred to in the post is the period of Hindu renaissance during which a vast body of philosophical, secular, and scientific literature (including the developments referred to in the article) was produced. That cultural context is carried forward to a large extent in what is India today. Neither of the other countries mentioned carry this context today.

Referring to Indian history and Indian civilization as S.Asian history/civilization is like referring to the Egyptian civilization as the North-east African Civilization, because the Kingdom of Kush also extended into Sudan.
I'm curious: is this really the hill Stallmanistas have chosen to die on? Really? A not very funny, not very helpful, and to anybody not living in the sphere of Batshitstania (a.k.a. the USA) absolutely incomprehensible joke? This is what you want to go to war over?

It's interesting that you characterized the response ("Maybe use another map projection?") that way.

Biased Facial Recognition – A Problem of Data and Diversity
'ask' is a noun in finance because 'bid-ask' is one of the most commonly used noun pairs to represent both sides of the market. As for why it's not 'bid-request', probably because request has an extra syllable—one too many for trading pit jargon.

I'd wager that a lot of unusual vocabulary uses come from jargon where the requirements are different. There's plenty of that in software engineering too:

1. You 'ls' a directory, not 'list' it

2. 'Ack' packets instead of 'acknowledgement'

3. 'Build' as a noun instead of a more idiomatic gerund like 'building', presumably since it would get confused with the more common 'building' as a structure.

4. 'malloc' instead of 'memory allocation', 'googling' instead of 'searching', 'ripping' (an MP3) instead of 'transcoding'

We just don't notice it because the jargon has become invisible through repeated use.

As a counterpoint, “solve” used as a noun is very common in the cubing community though, and I don't think it's supposed to sound trendy or anything. It also sounds quite normal coming from numerical analysis domain I think.

However it does seem strange if meaning “solution” generically.
My understanding is that RMS doesn't see it as just a joke but a form of protest through a joke relevant to the name of the function in question and that asking him to remove it is seen similarly to asking a protester to only protest in designated protest areas during designated protest hours where they cannot bother anyone. If you see it like that and not just as a harmless old joke, it makes more sense why RMS is riled up.

The effect of string stretching is pretty easy to verify. After putting on a new set, tune them to pitch and the stretch each one side to side and away from the fretboard a few inches. They will all be at least a quarter step flat afterwards, usually more. Tune them to pitch again and restretch and they will be less flat.

I'm not sure stretching matters for the long term tuning stability of the strings but definitely has an effect on the immediate tuning stability. Players who don't bend much and fret/strum lightly might not need the added stability but I like it.

Also, I've only ever heard the old strings sound better thing about flatwound strings, particularly on bass guitars, in which case it's true as long as "good sound" to you means a serious lack of treble.
Isn't that more or less what happens in the real world?

What he said. Flutter's widget set is neither HTML-rendered like hybrid or native OS widgets like Xamarin or React Native (or NativeScript) but use a C++ layer of its own. Putting that on Android was no surprise; getting it past the censors at Apple is a little more surprising. There's also no reason this widget layer cannot be ported to macOS, Windows, and Linux... I'll let y'all's imaginations run with that for a bit.

I told a wicked-smart colleague of mine about Flutter in general; a couple weeks later he came back and said he had written a sample app in Flutter and then decompiled the resulting IPA and APK files and examined the assembly. His report was that it looked very similar to apps he had written in C++ (like I said, he's wicked-smart).
