Yes and the biggest possible win you can make is to let go off your own "good solution". Beeing humble and dealing with problems later in lieu of beeing always right is correct choice.

You have to prevent only catastrophic decisions.

If you are working on CRUD web platform most decisions will not be catastrophic. Maybe inconvenient, maybe eat more budget but probably company will not go under because of some technical decision.

Was implementing this on the client device considered? What were the motivations for this design?
I would think that, given the capability to have light after the sun has gone down for hundreds of generations (candles have been around for ~5,000 years), any such trait would have become much more than an outlier by now.

Even if it is a positive evolutionary trait, that doesn't help anybody today. The 4 hour sleepers are still outliers, and the rest of us still need that sleep to operate at full capability.
I would guess they are a Microsoft Shop.

Azure seems to have a compelling platform for Microsoft Shops. I don't see the allure for a Linux shop. Sure you can run Linux on Azure, just like you can run Windows on AWS... but I don't think either is optimal.

Then Figlets was not a solution by itself. Just an implementation detail. By analogy, you can't say "we need a graph data structure", agree on python as a language, then consider the actual computer science an implementation detail that is being bickered over.

For a code review tool, "details" like CI integration, approval process, deployment integration, etc. are the solution. Figlets is just a shortcut for a big piece of that. Figlets could even be a blocker for certain features (like being to review code without a VPN connection).
I think it’s a miracle old instances work. They rewrote some of them with Cataclysm, but others have been pristine for 10+ years. And they say Windows works hard for compatibility... :P
That explains why the story is in fashion at the moment. But regarding the movie, see also:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_of_Stalin#Historical...

"the film is "fundamentally ill-equipped to locate the comedy inherent to Stalinism, missing marks it doesn't know it should be aiming for.""

In short, it doesn't give a real insight, even if it entertains. The film is anyway based on a comics:

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Mort_de_Staline_(bande_dess...

Which starts with: "Although inspired by real events, this story is nonetheless a fiction, freely constructed according to a fragmentary documentation, sometimes partial and often contradictory ... The authors point out, however, that they hardly needed to force their imagination, being unable to invent anything equivalent to the furious madness of Stalin and his entourage"

It's a fiction, even if there are surely the facts that are even weirder than many are able to imagine and the facts that are much harder to casually talk about.

Point well taken. But as many have mentioned in this thread, it is very hard to hire good people and the people I have already have deep knowledge of the systems and business and are good at what they do. Just from that efficiency perspective it makes sense to retrain per fiduciary responsibility. The fact that I can keep lots and lots of people working instead of terminating is an awesome bonus that I feel great about.
Your comment convinced me to actually read the link: you made it sound small enough to read with the time I’ve got now and that it wasn’t going to be hard to understand. Thank you.
The choice of ingredients is also a function of the desired preparation / serving. This will probably generate more realistic recipes but still nothing usable.

I can't think I've heard of an actually battery explosion yet, just people using the word "explosion" to mean burning or expanding.
I think this is right in the sense that, people struggling to survive are offered no choice but to play by the rules of a system that otherwise leaves them to die. It's frying pan or fire, so of course they have to be capitalists.

Over the first two centuries of industrial revolution, lifting the bottom ~billion out of drought, malnutrition and early death has never been pursued for its own sake or incentivized in its own right. But it has sometimes been a fortunate, peripheral outcome of working within systems structured first and foremost by the flow of capital, as you correctly note with the example of India's relatively recent economic liberalization.

The idea is interesting but intuitively I don't think the math works out. I understand the hedge angle, but done at large scale this type of investment -labor automation companies- is unlikely to yield very good returns (say, 10% yearly or so) and is therefore incapable of providing enough income for a worker to retire on (based on a plausible investment amount available to a unionized worker).
I’ve never had a problem sharing spreadsheets with non-tech family members, college rommates, etc. In fact, I’d go as far to say that with non-tech family, an app or web form would be significantly harder to explain to them. They’ve been using spreadsheets for so long, even people who rarely use computers, that it’s highly intuitive, and things that try to “simplify” end up being actually more complicated.
Hypothesis: Talking while playing - even in the original sense, at the playground, or at the street, but we're moving more and more to the digital avenues - are a big factor in how children and young people form ideas and opinions, to see what's "cool" and "lame".

The schools are where they are polished and shaped, with a tiny bit from parents - if they even talk about these things with their children anymore.

If in the future we see "anti-swj" be the norm we could say that "well, we saw it in barrens chat". Similar with 4Chan back in the day and probably still now.

I wonder if there are experiments going on using the data from ancient game chat and IRC channels (and so on) to verify this, and to check whether we can predict what may happen next.

One scary part is some people may consider this as yet another platform and opportunity to manipulate and control the minds of the future.
The military takes a binary approach to this. You are married, or you are not. If you are married they will do their best to accommodate the spouse (joint assignments, married housing, healthcare, etc). If you are not married, you get none of that.

They highly value commitment. To the nation, to your unit, and to your family.
The beginning and the end of my comment was "it's not just our expectations that have changed." My comment was merely to help describe why it is not just be that with a personal data point.

That said, it's highly likely there is some correlation between wages (and housing costs) and the doubling the potential labor pool, but that's another topic for another day.
Interviewing.io already does this and although you are paired with random people it works very well to practice
Early computers were indeed programmed using toggle switches and such to input a bunch of 1’s and 0’s, which is all the computer hardware itself understands. Additional layers were added later so that we humans could work with something that we understand, but ultimately all of that still gets translated down to individual bits. So in the end we're still programming with 1’s and 0’s, only we usually just don't realize it.
same with the new ICs - I used to really enjoy going with a IC - even more than a ICE - now it's just a like white RE the seats also seem to be the same.
Vendors, Disclosure, and a bit of WebUSB Madness
As a manager, if I had a weird feeling that someone was "abusing" the couch (by sleeping on it too much), huge red flags would go up for me that I've missed something massive. Like a death in their family, undisclosed problems with a coworker or management, something medical, or general job apathy.

I think I would read "abusing" as something more than just laying on the couch a lot. Like laying on the couch but storing old sandwiches under it. Kicking off shoes with unlaundered smelly socks. Just a general disconnect from the office environment, more than just needing a nap. I would ask the person out to lunch and ask them if they are happy. I think that's always a good place to start to discover/solve complex human problems.

Also, developers are strange compared to normal clock punch jobs. Some of us can't "turn it off" when we get home. This is a work/life balance thing.... but if you've gotta sleep on the couch for a week because you got in a groove where it makes sense, I'm not going to complain. I would probably still quiz on happiness and maybe suggest taking a nap somewhere more comfortable or even taking a few days off and making sure their responsibilities are covered. They might not feel like they could relax because "no one else can solve it" or something. And that in itself is a problem, so time to find a hammock for a few days and come back refreshed with less tickets.
Same here... looks like distinguishing colors doesn't mean you can be bothered to name them.

Bear in mind that the least pain was suffered by organizations and individuals who took security seriously.
> That attitude would reign among professional cryptanalysts until January 1970, when Dr. Carl Hammer, Director of Computer Sciences at Sperry-Univac, made a startling revelation at the Third Annual Simulation Symposium in Tampa, Florida. He had analyzed the Beale ciphers with a UNIVAC 1108 computer and compared the codes to the musings of a random number generator. The results showed signs of an intelligent pattern.

> “Beale Cyphers 1 and 3 are ‘for real,’” Hammer concluded. “They are not random doodles but do contain intelligence and messages of some sort. Further attempts at decoding are indeed warranted.”

Be careful of concluding that. The human brain is a bad random number generator. A hoaxer trying to write random gibberish in those days would do it by hand, not by rolling dice to ensure uniform randomness, and the handwritten gibberish would inevitably contain patterns.
Not everyone is handy with mobile app interfaces or web forms, or feeling comfortable understanding whether their data is private.

It’s a bit of a convenient fiction to mentally picture people struggling to type something into a spreadsheet, while happily swiping and tapping through an app, but that’s not realistic.

Spreadsheet workflows for personal budget, taxes, holiday shopping, etc., has been ubiquitous for a long time. It’s an interface people understand, regardless of being “a wizard” or not.

It’s at best naive and at worst myopic to think that slapping a few things into an app or a web form actually constitutes something “easier” or “more intuitive” than something which has been a household staple of software for several decades.

I prefer not to think of myself as an X-language programmer. And yes, when I was developing mobile apps, I did it solo. I preferred to choose the right tool for the job, and learn a new language if needed.

And I think Xamarin is better than React Native or Flutter, because Xamarin makes it easy to use each platform's full set of native widgets in the native way, while still sharing non-UI code. In contrast, React Native does use a subset of native widgets, but doesn't give you access to the full set of them (at least out of the box), kind of like the old Java AWT. And like Swing or JavaFX, Flutter throws out the native widgets entirely.
Two different techniques here. One-time pad is a strong random cipher, versus a typical "lookup" substitution cipher which is garbage.

Yeah, it must be. I don't think there's a way to generically perform well on distributed queries, so this is probably as good as it gets.
I am saying I would expect the trade body to carefully and selectively phrase their responses for the sole benefit of the trade. "could lose as much as 80%" (but will usually be far less).

A study that came shortly after this one points to clear over-use and that reducing use would actually increase yields:

Glad it works for you, but I feel really nauseous after an hour or so of coding or reading while in a moving train, bus or car. I think this is quite common.
Would it work at all (assuming your quadriplegia is spinal cord related)? It functions by measuring signals sent from the brain at the forearm:

>How does it do that? By measuring changes in electrical potential, which are caused by impulses that travel from the brain to hand muscles through lower motor neurons. This information-rich pathway in the nervous system comprises two parts: upper motor neurons connected directly to the brain’s motor center, and lower axons that map to muscle and muscle fibers.

Perhaps it could be configured to work with neck muscles instead?
The rich will help plenty but it’ll be a drop in the bucket unless you can do something productive yourself. The aid industry has spent enormous sums on band aids for the problem of poverty but the only cure is economic development.

If a country’s government is ineffective and corrupt they can waste arbitrary amounts of money and have nothing to show for it in the end but some bureaucrats who ate nice meals and had nice cars before the crap roads and lack of maintenance turned them into junk.

Aid just isn’t terribly effective generally. You can’t make incompetent people rich or even middle income and have it stick. If you can help them become competent they’ll deal with poverty themselves.
I must be missing a part of your argument.

The parent says that no single technology "solves" the problems of poverty. The biggest strides to improving quality of life measures are made when people are permitted to try to improve their own lives.

Local markets means people from the same economic stratum helping each other. Where do "the rich" enter into it at all? Are you one of "the rich", with a disposable income many times the total income of people suffering from inadequate clean water? Why aren't you "helping"? What would "help" look like, in your vision?
The problem is with plans you don't know how long it will take to get from arrival to bring at the departure gate. There are multiple opportunities for large queues and delays, and the cost of missing a plane is much higher than that of missing a train.

With a train it basically never takes more than 10 minutes from arrival to walk to your platform, so you don't need to waste so much time just in case there is a delay. Also if you miss it you might be able to get the next train for free depending on your ticket.
The most persuasive argument is no argument at all. Quality, speed and accuracy don't need advocates. If the idea is really good, just mentioning it is enough for the team to adopt it. If I think someone should adopt my style, my tool, my configuration, my editor or anything else, the first thing I ask myself is how does it compare to the most important thing that the team needs to advance on? If it's the most important thing, then I'll cajole the team to adopt the idea. A recent example of that for me is a particular way of running integration tests. But if it's not the most important thing, well then I'm just distracting myself and everyone else with another thing to do, and I try to get back to whatever is really important to my own progress.

Except they don't fluctuate, there is just a certain amount of lower fares (going up in stages, the closer you get to the travel date and depending if all tickets of that category were booked already). This is know in advance, and the maximum price is always fixed. So quite different.
Interesting how the solver preferred to build a 2x2x2 block and then match/solve pairs until it could then apply ABA' sequences (commutators in cubing parlance). Very reminiscent of something between Lars Petrus' and Ryan Heise's method. There's a more rigid version called Tripod.

Why do they need a 3d map to begin with?

Following their example of which side of the canyon the phone is, given the snr of sat b,c,d they can guess the side of the street.

If it's possible then being shadowed by an actual building, a construction site or a delivery truck amounts to the same result (but I guess the snr would vary between these 3 situations). Hence, why the need for the 3d model?

The report (linked to in the article above) addresses this in multiple points (though it doesn't use the word "myth"):

2. Despite the harms associated with excessive and unsafe pesticide practices, it is commonly argued that intensive industrial agriculture, which is heavily reliant on pesticide inputs, is necessary to increase yields to feed a growing world population, particularly in the light of negative climate change impacts and global scarcity of farmlands. Indeed, over the past 50 years, the global population has more than doubled, while available arable land has only increased by about 10 per cent.5 Evolving technology in pesticide manufacture, among other agricultural innovations, has certainly helped to keep agricultural production apace of unprecedented jumps in food demand. However, this has come at the expense of human health and the environment. Equally, increased food production has not succeeded in eliminating hunger worldwide. Reliance on hazardous pesticides is a short-term solution that undermines the rights to adequate food and health for present and future generations.

91. The assertion promoted by the agrochemical industry that pesticides are necessary to achieve food security is not only inaccurate, but dangerously misleading. In principle, there is adequate food to feed the world; inequitable production and distribution systems present major blockages that prevent those in need from accessing it. Ironically, many of those who are food insecure are in fact subsistence farmers engaged in agricultural work, particularly in lower-income countries.

The "myth" is named so by the author of the study, UN special rapporteur on the right to food. From the article:

“It is a myth,” said Hilal Elver, the UN’s special rapporteur on the right to food. “Using more pesticides is nothing to do with getting rid of hunger. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), we are able to feed 9 billion people today. Production is definitely increasing, but the problem is poverty, inequality and distribution.”

At least the Guardian then is reporting what has been said, or written in the quoted study.
as silly as it sounds it's true. Deutsche Bahn AG needs to get 850 million € a year back to the state. The rail tracks and local lines are heavy subsidized but there are different companies.

They really made a mess with this attempt at privatization. It went so far that Deutsche Bahn AG destroyed their own (payed with public money in the 80ies) working and good rolling stock in an attempt to keep the market prices up? https://www.swr.de/forum/read.php?5,3880

She didn't have to use sex, per se, but merely sex appeal. (It's kind of telling that you immediately went there.) Or maybe even the "You kind of remind me of my daughter/niece/young wife/etc" angle. Maybe even just the "youthful enthusiasm and vigor" angle, or the "female empowerment, breaking the glass ceiling" angle. I also understand that she liked to pass herself off as something of a female Steve Jobs, so there's that. Plus, female-led startups in Silicon Valley are pretty rare, so that in itself is an attention grabber.
I also found Elixir to sometimes be a bit too 'messy' in it syntax. A bunch of it made more sense when I understood why the choice had been made.

The one that I still feel uncomfortable with, and where I haven't heard a proper justification, is how you can leave out [] for a keyword list when it's the last function parameter (I think they call it an options list?).

It's already a bit confusing how a keyword list translates to a list of tuples, so adding that bit of sugar just further confuses things. It reminds me too much of Ruby's implicit block parameter (or whatever it's called), which I never was a fan of.

Other than that Elixir might be my one of my favorite programming languages.
