I'd like to share a more balanced approach (sure, give me heat for fence sitting), and while I agree with the above, there's a time to walk away, and there's a time to suck it up.

I would strongly to suggest finding interviews at some stage of our lives with the pure intent to walk away from. If you feel strongly about the process, it's one thing to grumble, but this is the only way change will happen.

If you're desperate for a another job however, and are really feeling like you need to be in a new place within 6 months, then go through a phase of sucking it up, finding a daily challenge on hackerrank, and seeing if "you've still got it" with these silly problems that we all know are exclusive to undergrad studies and nowhere else.

Great analogy with the ball pit and clown nose btw, I'm going to use that.
What’s the proportion of people who are trans vs intersex?
I don't read such an implication, honestly.

It certainly could be interpreted that way, but if one did, one would already have made some assumptions oneself. I just don't see how this matches up with Musk's brutally direct tone on other occasions. Misleading your own employees like this seems like it would be counterproductive.

Not to mention, it would be obvious to any insider that this wasn't the reason for the struggles with ramping production - they have been behind the (admittedly heavily accelerated, since the 2015 plan) schedule for months.
> How could the industrial boom in China or the USA in the late 1800s and early 1900s have happened without emvironmental destruction? How can growth happen in China now without it? Get real about human development and the necessities of human development.

Not all of that environmental and human damage was necessary. Much of it was out of ignorance, and more was out greed, combined with a callous disregard for human life.

> Birds and ants don't reach a "natural equilibrium". They, and all other species, simply (and similarly) exhaust what their habitat will sustain in one way or another, just as humans do.

No, not really. These ecosystems adapt to change very, very slowly, and birds and ants very gently come up against the carrying capacity of their surrounding environment, and when they exceed that carrying capacity, their populations cease to grow and may waver, but will reach some equilibrium. They generally do not experience extreme boom and busts, except in extreme cases of invasive species and rapid climate change. They also don't have a tendency to cause mass destruction that takes down the environment around them. The difference with humans is that we use technology and agriculture to continually boost ourselves past the carrying capacity of our local environment, and when that becomes unsustainable--usually wreaking havoc all around us, we move on and spread. Just look throughout history. The pattern repeats over and over.

If birds and ants had the same cycle, they would not have survived hundreds of millions of years like they have.

People just do not understand that our growth rates are so high that they are effectively alien to this planet. So, no, this is not "normal" or "natural" IMO.
This is almost always the case with YAML criticism, which is a perennial topic in programming communities. Coming up with "a better YAML" is easy; getting anyone to use it is hard - even harder than getting people to use a new programming language because configuration files have to be touched by end users, and they all know YAML already.

Furthermore, all of the "better YAMLs" that exist solve a different subset of issues based on the whims of the author. I like indentation-based syntax for config files (though not for programming languages, go figure), so half the alternatives look worse rather than better to me, and reasonable people can also disagree on things like when strings should require quotes and what should be a valid hash key and so on. There are so many bikes to shed that I don't see us ever settling on an alternative without major buy-in from one of the big players in tech.

Until then, I'm happy to let YAML win. It's just not broken enough for me to get worked up about.
which frameworks protect against this "behemoth of tech debt"

Yeah, that's basically what invalidates the assertion. There's no language or framework that guards against the complexity of a large code base. Period.
> For a company like ours the whole appeal of Bitcoin is the anonymity, so our readers don't have to worry about buying lewd comics and having it show up on their statements.

Might I suggest Monero? That way if your customers use Bitcoin for other things, others can't see the details of your customers' transactions with you.

If you don't convert into USD, there are different plugins that allow you to collect the coins, if you do want to convert there's a service called Globee that also takes BTC as well as XMR.
> Wouldn't the Federal Trade Commission be the more apt generic regulator to lodge these complaints to?

The best strategy would involve papering many agencies. The CFPB, SEC, CFTC, OCC, your state financial services regulator and attorney general, et cetera. Generally speaking, the SEC is still deciding whether Bitcoin is in its purview. Lots of complaints could cause it to classify Bitcoin exchanges as being subject to the Exchange Act or 1934.
Oh, actually the story itself was flagkilled, not your comment. I contacted to unkill it. Sorry for the misunderstanding :)

In your second comment you go a bit too far. Yeah feminism has a problem with accepting criticism and with extremisms, and so are many activist types, but that does not invalidate feminism and activism by itself. We need both, but we also need more calm and more reason. And matriarchy is so inexistent that it might be dark matter.
That was with a CA certificate, though. AFAIK, as long as the certificate marked as trusted does not have the CA flag set, and isn’t a wildcard cert for “*” or something silly like that, it can only be used to impersonate the specific domain(s) named in the certificate. Thus, even if the certificate is in the system global trust cache, it wouldn’t allow anyone to “MITM any connection that doesn't have some kind of key pinning”, only connections to that site. However, I can’t rule out that trusting a certificate for “localhost” for which an attacker knows the private key could still cause some sort of security vulnerability, though I’m not sure what exactly it would be.
> This problem was solved in the 60's with S-Expressions.

Not so much. Sexps don't provide a place hang "extra" information. It's been a pain point. While some lisps allowed decorating runtime things (eg objects with attributes, and symbols with property lists), their printed/readable representations were implementation dependent.

There's also a widespread misconception that Scheme is easy to parse. Numbers and all. It's actually very hard to get right. Real scheme parsers are quite large and hairy.

Chromebooks.

I know ChromeOS considers all programs to be hostile but how long does it take to get either a) Synergy ported to this new operating system or b) some explanation as to why there are no plans to create a ChromeOS version?

Even a phone version would be nice. It would enable people to type their texts rather than 'peck' at the keyboard.

The thing is that people find other workarounds and other products come along to make Synergy redundant. As an example there are the Logitech keyboards that will connect to three devices, e.g. one's phone, computer and laptop.

Over the years I have had genuine 'wow' from people who are truly amazed, as if it is magic when I move from computer to computer with the same keyboard/mouse. They wonder how it works and how it is connected. Few products are so impressive however the impression left on them is that you have to be a linux coder with terminal screens everywhere to use it. So there is no 'where do you get that' follow up question and therefore no mass adoption. It could be done.
> I think you are purposely mis-interpreting me.

You misrepresented yourself by saying "object" when you meant "dict" and saying "practically identical" when you meant "vaguely syntactically similar". I wasn't trying to nitpick your semantics; I just had no idea that "Python objects are practically identical to JSON" meant "Python dicts are to Python what JSON objects are to JS, oh and also Python dicts have some syntactic similarlities to JSON" or whatever.
$240/year seems way too steep for me. And 3 movies per week is too many.

Perhaps if it included 2 guest passes a month it would be significantly more compelling.

Rule of thumb, Recurring monthly revenue is worth 5x the one time purchase. If my actual utilization averages out to once a week I want to be paying closer to $10/mo for the $50 of al la carte tickets.

It doesn’t matter to me that it’s AMC only because I have a great local AMC and they carry all the movies I would expect them to.

If you could pre-pay for a certain number of months of it, it could be a pretty neat gift idea.
Malicious network could forge DNS responses and direct user into fake server. HTTPS should protect user, because face server can't own proper certificate for that domain. But if private key is leaked, this attack could work.

And they're starting to crack down on yuge mining operations, too.

The movie "Falling Down" notwithstanding, "angry white man" isn't a pernicious stereotype, and "angry black man" is. I'm neighbors with more than one professional black man who has told me they have to be extra careful in the workplace, because any frustration they express will be amplified by the perception of their (overwhelmingly white) coworkers. The first time I heard this, I didn't understand and had to have it explained to me. It's a thing.
You're responding to an imagined foe. See how you go with a "nature does it too, you're an environmentalist that wants to protect cute widdle animals" angle? That's because you're categorizing your opponent into a known bucket without actually pausing to consider their argument. This is a good way to efficiently comment on social media, but this style of dialogue will never either convince them that they're wrong or convince you that you're wrong. All it will do is reinforce itself by giving your brain a brief jolt of self-satisfaction.
Nice to see love for Service Broker. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person in the world who knows about it.
The answer is simple, non-lockin to any particular theater chain. Revenue of the $20/mo is split across multiple theatre chains, and goers can see a movie at any participating chain.

Theaters get predictable revenue and guaranteed income, and viewers get a bulk discount.

All you can 'eat', and theater chain freedom are two different features. They can still keep both.
excellent, the communist copycats needs to be stopped once and for all.
Most new movies suck. Not even 80%, but more like 95% are just derivative crap designed to make most of their money on the international market with CGI spectacle rather than good writing. I'm perfectly happy to pay full price for the one movie I see a month in the theater I like, especially since MoviePass and the like are just more I-am-the-product fuckery.
The fact is that is old. I discovered it, seeing the dub build (DLang build&depency tool) files that can use JSON or SDLang.

Alternatively.

Presto!

Would you mind elaborating on why you see a "non-problem" as far as cryptowhatever goes?

I see a lot of fraud in the space, and it does seem like there's a lot of inefficiency in different solutions. However, it also appears to me to be an unavoidable continuation of a decentralization effort that kicked into high gear with the printing press. This process seems to have on average improved life for individuals, and so I have trouble seeing anything that moves decentralized solutions forward as addressing non-problems.

I am aware that my knowledge and understanding is quite limited and prone to error so I'm curious as to how you have come to your position.
Worse (if I understand correctly): There really aren't many good sites for dams that are still unused. I mean, there was a proposal back in the 1950s/1960s for two dams in the Grand Canyon whose sites are still unused, but I'm pretty sure that those dams will continue to be unbuilt, no matter how much electricity they could generate.
> But I could never quite satisfy the nagging feeling that the localhost server could adequately be secured against outside network requests being routed to it, or as TFA mentions, inside network requests being routed away from it to an outsider!

Wouldn't that be solved by binding your listener to 127.0.0.1 (as opposed to 0.0.0.0 or your actual IP)? Sending a request to 127.0.0.1 shouldn't be able to send anything to the network.

I am an avid checklist user. I have a number of complex processes which are repeated monthly, quarterly or yearly. When the office is calm and I am feeling good I don't need them and find myself ticking them off having already done the stage. When I am feeling less-good, the office is noisy and I keep being interrupted the check-lists are the reason I succeed.

Yet still I find almost complete resistance to them by colleagues. They seem to think it is somehow demeaning to reduce their work to a fixed process. Perhaps it takes the mystique out of it, and gives the idea that anyone could do it.

OP - Do you get different results when you repeat the search in incognito mode (Chrome) or private browsing (Firefox)?
That's a very tough question to answer because the two topics aren't as rigorously researched. Quick google searches seem to say around 0.5% of the population for intersex and 0.3% of the population for transgender. But again, those figures are probably problematic and shouldn't be taken as fact.
Not disagreeing, but I'd also be interested in the percentage of Tesla fanboys who did not know what short selling was before Musk's ranting. I wonder if there's some meaningful inflection point in this metric that has significance to how hype is perceived and rationalized (or not)?

No it doesn't. The graph is predicting 10% coal in 2050. Remember too that this is a percentage of a growing total amount of produced energy. If we are still burning that much coal in 2050 then we are in serious trouble. There is no 'too soon' scenario when it comes to C02 emissions. The damage has been done and we are deep into damage control mode. Coal needs to be gone yesterday.

We're doing exactly this prime-time with Relica: https://relicabackup.com (sorry, not much on the landing page yet, but we have emailed out some info about the UI already [1]). That technique will allow us to distribute backup software that works the same for macOS, Linux, BSD, and Windows, right away; screenshot: [2]. And it's very lightweight.

An added benefit of this approach: we were able to take its REST API and, after writing a small custom Go package, we instantly gained an elegant CLI [3] so it has a headless mode too! With all the functionality of the GUI [4].

I haven't seen much consumer software that does this, and I'm not sure why, so I feel like we're taking a bit of a risk, but I think (hope) it will pay off; the benefits have already started becoming clear and they're definitely appealing.

I will suggest that if you add this to the FAQ, you spend more time talking about things like your device can be compromised by loss, theft, or hackers, at any time. Exploding messages are gone when that happens. and less time talking about how people can go from seemingly a Nice Guy to r/niceguy when a relationship ends. Make relationship drama a footnote, not your primary emphasis.

I know that FB, apple, google can detect suicidal thoughts with some reasonable level of accuracy and that some of the leaders felt obliged to do something, but not sure what came of it? Seemed like it was mostly for acute situations rather than people at risk who could be helped by a periodic check in. Would be cool if these companies could somehow non invasively encourage ppl close to someone at risk to check on them

Also think that primary care is in a decent position to handle monitoring of potential suicidality, although the PCPs ive talked to are incredibly scared of liability concerns related to this...

There's a theory about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_compensation

> "Risk compensation is a theory which suggests that people typically adjust their behavior in response to the perceived level of risk, becoming more careful where they sense greater risk and less careful if they feel more protected. Although usually small in comparison to the fundamental benefits of safety interventions, it may result in a lower net benefit than expected."

There's a book too, with a special emphasis on on financial crises. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/oct/12/foolproof-greg...

> "In the run-up to the crash, consumers and even policymakers had come to believe that smart regulators and forward-thinking bankers had made the world of money a much safer place.

> "The fundamental insight of Ip’s new book, Foolproof, is that this very belief was a key factor in the lead up to the crash. When people believe they are safe, they take more risks – they drive faster, in motoring terms – and “speed makes everything worse”. Or as the economist Hyman Minsky, whose work Ip revisits, put it: “Stability is destabilising.”

There are applications in our field too:

- safety features for users might make them behave less safely (e.g. exploding messages)

- better reliability of systems might lead us to put more trust in them, leading to even bigger outages when they occur (e.g. centralising trust in cloud providers)

It's interesting to see things like Chaos Engineering (https://principlesofchaos.org/) introducing intentional "danger" into a system in order to improve system-wide stability. Of course, maybe Chaos Engineering will give us more trust in our systems which may lead us to take even bigger risks...
