Absolutely nowhere in your post did you mention once that you were merely trying to "explain" a viewpoint, and not that it was your viewpoint in the discussion.

And I'm sure you've demonstrated considerable emotional maturity disparaging consumer and employee rights, while complaining about comments on the internet.
My pleasure! Hey, what do you like more about YouTube for watching the videos?
Do tarballs store the user/group names as strings or do they store the uid/gid instead?

It is one of the goofy things about Unix systems is most tools speak uid/gid and woah is you if two machines on the network have “bob” only as different uid’s.

Not entirely sure if windows has the same problem as to be honest if you use active directory most of that stuff is auto-magic.

My hunch is that going with the ID vs. the “friendly name” has a bunch of trade offs and whichever you pick will come with serious drawbacks.
my deduction: if you done it in a warm or hot room, you surely have enough will to do it.
0. I was thinking to do very detailed specifications and have trial for a week. I believe there is no other way. Also during this week I could see how the base tasks will be performed and if it fails could cancel the relationship.

2. That is indeed very useful advice, if I could get referral. Unfortunately I could get those from the websites I could find the agencies or people. Do you think I could rely on these?

3. Useful advice, but what other places you would suggest. Here is good resource I found but any of these look main stream:

4. Ideally I am looking for 2-4 people for 2-4 months. Then it makes perfect sense for someone on the team to be used for the communication.

I would definitely check with you once I prepare the specifications (in next month or so).

Thank you very much for the input!

I was going to make a comment to this effect -- I think this is by design.

This is a logical alternative to our metric system. We use powers of ten for increasing units because we operate in base-10. Older civilizations created larger units by multiplying a smaller unit by either an existing member of the set, or the next largest factor. So you end up with a sequence like 2, 6 (3x2), 12 (3x2x2), 60 (5x3x2x2), 360 (6x5x3x2x2), 2520 (7x360), etc.

In effect, this is akin to saying a kilogram is 10^3 grams. It's novel to use because we were not taught to think that way. I bet a Babylonian would find this tweet to be kind of obvious.

I see a lot of suggestions about reducing or shutting off your signals, but what about boosting them in certain directions? As far as I understand cell tower triangulation, having a stronger signal in one direction might offset your calculated position in that direction. I wouldn't expect that to decrease connectivity, just require special equipment and more battery life.

I wonder if they use this data to price insurance -- they would easily know when their drivers are going over the speed limit (or, if such data is not so precise, if their average speed over 10 minutes exceeded the speed limit).
Why make this black and white?

A person in a niche has the requirements to get hired. They 'knew' someone from 20 years of working in this field.

At what point does it no longer become merit? They met the person at work, working on tech. Its not like they were born into it.

Also, I highly doubt 'same merit' is a thing in the tech world(especially among programmers). Programmers are rare and expensive, I doubt HR is choosy when it comes to these things. They have a difficult enough time filling positions.
I can confirm this sport is excellent from a spectator standpoint. I also went to see some championship (I think) fights in London a few years ago and having never seen it before I was very skeptical. After the event however, I raved about it to anyone willing to listen – still do, evidently!
Serious.

For bond trading and analytics, often no one has the data other than Bloomberg. INTEX has a lot of MBS and ABS data, Trepp has CMBS data, and I guess there are some muni and corporate specialists, but Bloomberg has it all and at your fingertips with an ergonomic UX, and any analytics you can think of. If you want to actively trade fixed income, you just can't do it without a Bloomberg.
these numbers are utter shit

The Mystery of the Sort Benchmark Outliers
I mean, sure, they’re rasterized—but are they rasterized to the same native texture format as bitmaps are? I know that for assets in games, the “read-only” assets loaded from disk come with rasterization metadata (or are already transcoded to the native texture format, depending on architecture) such that you get more efficient VRAM consumption at the expense of loading time (this being why games can take so long to load a scene when GPUs have even more PCI-e lanes than NVMe memory does.)

Whereas I’d expect that texture-elements rendered during a scene, which might potentially stick around for only a few frames, would load to the GPU “uncompressed”, loading faster (less driver delay despite the increased size) but then taking more cycles of each texture-unit to process on each frame, thus taxing the GPU more.

I definitely know this was true back in the 90s in game consoles—data streamed from disk was optimized for the GPU; while compositing in data held as a raw pixel field in VRAM (because it was e.g. a minimap texture you were redrawing or somesuch) left much less GPU available for anything else to use.
Intergraph workstations in mid 90's almost universally came with NMB keyboards with integrated speakers. The keyboards were bulky and had half inch quite rigid cable. Notably, John Carmack used such workstation for Quake 2 development.
I live alone, so I don't have family/roommate distractions when working remotely. But how would I indicate this to potential employers or clients without it seeming weird? Put it in social media profiles or something, or wait to bring it up at an interview?
utm tags let you run 10 different social media campaigns and compare them to each other. GA by default will only show you a social media total, not split into the efforts by Alice's botnet, Bob's human retweet club, and so forth.
There was a great moment recently in Alice Isn't Dead. I wanted to chop it down, but I can't do it justice that way:

There’s this saying, right, wherever you go there you are. And it’s true, there’s no destination far enough that your own faults won’t follow. But what I think the saying misses is that other cliché: it’s not the destination, it’s the journey. Because while it’s you who leaves a place, and you who arrives in a place, right? It isn’t necessarily you in between. The you who sits on the road is a different you, one with far less responsibilities. One whose choices have been narrowed down to which exit to stop at, what music to listen to for the next 100 miles. It’s freeing, being taken out of yourself and replaced by this road version. And yes, it’s tiring when you arrive and your worn out, stressed self has to step back into her place, but those moments in between? Those are worth it. Those road hours are the one bit of freedom we get, and the reason we feel like that is because they take away most of our freedom. Sometimes the less options we have, the more free we feel.

I used to be pretty skeptical about the various "constant connectivity is making us miserable!" stories, because my relationship with the various boogeymen listed didn't match the descriptions. I don't compulsively check email, refresh instagram for new likes, or generally let apps send push notifications at all.

These days, I think those stories have real merit, except they're too narrow in their view of the problem. For me, the itch isn't "I should check Facebook", it's the simple knowledge that at any time I could pay bills, order a gift, read a textbook, or otherwise get things done. It used to be that if you were at work or the bank, that's what you were doing; now you can cash a check from the office or finish work from the line at the bank. Even while you're being productive, there's no narrowing of scope to relax your thoughts.

There are lots of tricks to help that, but nothing has ever beaten hiking and climbing for simply forcing me into the present.
Browser vendors can't clean up User-Agent because the websites sniff it and break if it's "wrong" (for any random value of wrong).

I'm sure there's a Bugzilla bug about the "X11; Linux x86_64" in the headers, and I'd be terrified to open it.
At a high level, PCRE2 is one of the most mature and fastest regex implementations out there (among ones that are open and that I know about).

w.r.t. to Unicode support, it is fairly par for the course. There are some regex implementations that have very good Unicode support. Python's `regex` library (not `re` in the standard library) is very comprehensive with Unicode, and I think the regex library that `icgrep` uses is also fairly comprehensive. Both of those extend well into level 2 of UTS#18. Rust's regex library (the one I wrote) has fairly complete level 1 support with a few hiccups, but that is a somewhat recent development.

I imagine ICU's regex engine also has fairly complete UTS#18 support as well, although I've never used it myself. Similarly for Oniguruma.

icgrep is the only one of the above that I mention that doesn't have a reputation for being slow (and is actually quite fast). But... its toolchain dependencies are considerable.

PCRE2's Unicode support is pretty good, but definitely has its quirks. It definitely appears to support a limited set of properties, and appears mostly restricted to general categories and scripts, which gives a fair bit of breadth. You might be able to get close to \p{Alphabetic} by building its constituent parts: https://unicode.org/reports/tr44/#Alphabetic --- It looks like PCRE2 supports everything in Lowercase + Uppercase + Lt + Lm + Lo + Nl + Other_Alphabetic except for `Other_Alphabetic` (this is according to `man pcre2pattern`). Unfortunately, Other_Alphabetic is quite large, so it might be hard to just handjam that easily.

Interestingly, with all that said, PCRE2 does support a Unicode interpretation of \w, which is defined by Unicode to be: http://unicode.org/reports/tr18/#word

\p{alpha}
\p{gc=Mark}
\p{digit}
\p{gc=Connector_Punctuation}
\p{Join_Control}

which is a superset of \p{Alphabetic} (\p{alpha} is an alias for \p{alphabetic}). Note though that \w by default in PCRE2 is ASCII-only. You need to enable the UCP flag to get Unicode support.

You mention Julia, and they've definitely had issues with PCRE2. For example, one thing that Rust's regex engine supports that PCRE2 doesn't is the ability to have Unicode features enabled while simultaneously searching possibly invalid UTF-8 without additional costly checks or undefined behavior. PCRE2 can't do that. See: https://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20180412.091038.080cf6... and https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/26731
'Generally'.

Also, a severe lack of commentary on those who live in other countries believing in their own exceptionalism. So not sure what you're responding to.
OpenStreetCam sign detection code and training data open sourced
Amazing that they used to be their own country.
libgen.io has some advantages. In my opinion the best advantage is that the search results also list the format of book results. It is easier to find a particular format, like epub. You can find out the format on libgen.pw, but it takes an extra step, involving going back and forth between the search results page, and individual book description pages.

That said, as of this moment, libgen.pw is up, even if libgen.io isn't.
Yeah, because people usually compile their programs before running them.
I like the amazing "feature" where the act of extracting a tar file into a directory can change permissions on this directory. You have to pass --no-overwrite-dir flag to disable this.

If you read about the economics of this period you'll find that, as with most of history, the reality isn't this simple. A lot of Southern capital went into financing Northern industry, for example. It's difficult to neatly divide the nation's economy in this way as if they were two separate spheres, as much they as they may have want to think of themselves that way.
Why do you need this? Is it because you are paranoid of being tracked?

UTMs offer a transparent, honest way of tracking where a user is coming from. This is super important for any company that runs multiple channel marketing.

Making impossible for company to track their marketing effort doesn't protect your privacy. It just makes it tougher for companies to manage their marketing spending.

Marketing is not evil. It's how the world works. You need to market something to be able to sell it.

I feel there is a paranoia about being tracked and privacy, where anything that is somehow tracking, is evil and must be stopped.

UTMs parameters are absolutely harmless and stripping them away offer no privacy benefit whatsoever.

Whoops, I meant to ask what geographic location you posted your ad in, because I was thinking in SF it might be more competitive and less effective.
It would have been nice if numbers had developed into a base-12 instead of a base-10 system. But it's even nicer that the number system (now 10-based) and the measurement system (now metric) are in sync.
Sure, but that amounts to saying "if a difference can be discerned then there's a discernible difference". I'm saying if there's anything really to wine tasting, there's got to be something that can be reliably shown in experiments - e.g. that sommeliers were found to reliably determine a wine's X, for some value of X. I've poked around for evidence like that, and there doesn't seem to be any.
Maybe it’s a local thing, but I find I rarely have time to interview the company anymore. For the most part they’ve a set agenda that takes up all the time. I miss the days when nobody knew how to interview. I had plenty of time to ask questions.

Wow, what a horrible, shitting thing to do.

I use Google Analytics for a side project site I run for the video game Destiny. I like to look at referral URLs so I can see if some publication has linked to me, if a video has been made about my site, or if there's a discussion on reddit going on that would be relevant.

I know it's popular to think about the only entities using analytics are big faceless organisations and sending them to graphic porn websites is cool, but please remember that a) they're still just humans and b) people run cute little side projects like mine and I don't want to see tubgirl or whatever when going through my referrals.

Block GA, strip referrals, whatever. I don't care. Just please don't abuse people like this.
Oh duh, thanks. (Checking less than zero, read it wrong.)

I think it would be faster to OR the entire string with itself, then finally check the 8th bit though. On Skylake that would cut it to 0.33 cycles per 16 bytes (HSW 1 per 16).

Most people are interpreting it in the positive sense WRT vacation pay or similar, my experience is its more negative in the sense of if X is on vacation then Y can't be on vacation because we need someone on call 24x7 or release week is the last week of June therefore its assumed all hands on deck the last week of June no vacation.

Setting contact expectations is kinda important, as most employee relationships are considered very feudal serf in nature whereas a contractor could be working somewhere else on someone elses job at any time... its easy to write a contract with a product and a due date, but harder to specify a service of general short term availability for whatever reason.

How to Setup an Amazon ECS Cluster with Terraform
God yes. Especially because it's so often ENTIRELY AND UTTERLY WRONG.
Companies chronically escape from offering real "perks".

Instead they insult their employees with ping-pong tables and snacks and Xbox.

Even the famous "unlimited vacation" is a complete and utter scam to shame and guilt people and also to avoid having to pay for accrued vacation time that normally you would be entitled to.

Some even list their garbage noisy open office as a "perk". Yeah Bob it's a great perk for employees to have to use noise cancelling headphones to get their work done while everyone "collaborates" about TV shows.

First they pick something that benefits them, then they reverse engineer some kind of happy story about how it's really a perk for their employees ... let's save some money on office space because .. uhhh ... "collaboration!" yeah that's right ... SO GOOD!

Let's save more ... you don't really need that desk all the time eh? HOT DESKING. So HOT! So FLEXIBLE! you're welcome.

Vacation? easy! unlimited! just take "what you need" wink wink (http://archive.is/ByJ8X)

The situation has turned so bad that even the very basics can be considered perks.

Like .. uh ... a quiet fucking office with some sunlight, you know ... for getting work done?

If they were actually interested they could offer lots of genuine perks.

For example one week extra holiday on top of what the minimum is (government requires 4 weeks? offer minimum 5 weeks in good faith)

Another one, establish and enforce a culture of not working overtime. For example if everyone is working 9 to 5 at a company, have a culture of kicking everyone out and shutting down at 5 unless in very very exceptional cases.

Wanna go further? Make remote a thing. For example if it's a traditional Mon-Fri 9-5 shop, establish remote Wednesdays for anyone who wants it.

Another one? Reduce work hours by 1 hour every day. Instead of 9-5 make 9-4 the standard in your company.

Wanna show you really mean it with the perks? Keep the market salaries and make the work week 4 days. Anyone fortunate enough to work for your company gets Wednesdays off.

Admittedly some of those are quite bold but I think they only sound so bold because no one is even trying to actually offer tangible perks. Many companies have enough fat that they could afford it.
I don't think it's just nostalgia. I personally prefer for an interface to be as invisible as possible, which to me means flat gray or dark gray.

Anything else like color, reflections, transparency, animations, etc. draw my attention away from what I'm doing (contained within the window frames) out into the window frames and taskbar, which I want to look at as little as necessary.
Yes, but the library is still quite generalistic (it would not make sense for example to include the drawing of the yellow rectangle in the lib or to not have access to the raw detection parameters).
Why "hence"?
Enabling all developers to build on the Account Activity API
In my case: no privacy paranoia (I just assume everything is being tracked and there's very little I can do about it).

I just hate

a) having ugly URLs

b) having to manually edit the URLS before copy/pasting them somewhere else.

Many sites nowadays actually have thoughtfully designed URL schemes. But then there's so often this GA crap that destroys the esthetics.

As an example, the URL that triggered me to go find this particular extension was:

Twitter delays shutdown of legacy APIs by 3 months as it launches a replacement
I don't see how deliberately providing false data to organization is amusing here. If you don't want your web sessions tracked that's fine, but there are legitimate reasons for websites to want to understand user behavior. Some of it is for digital marketing purposes but also for usability, for example, how are folks getting to our documentation, is this prominent enough?

Seems a popular opinion that user tracking = bad but it's more nuanced than that.
