I gave you a few specific examples earlier in the thread:

- Art transactions: registry of origin and property transfers for any object (with authenticated certificate), currently done by lawyers & auction houses (costly, inefficient, painful, near-impossible in some cases involving war/expropriation because records were destroyed at some point)

- International shipping: INCOTERMS, currently handled through various specialized intermediaries (costly, inefficient, painful)

- Registry of operations over the life of a company (creation/address change/acquisitions/foreclosure), currently done by national commerce courts & accredited local newspapers (costly, inefficient, painful)

- Wills: self-authentication of one's will preventing repudiation attempts by third parties, currently done by lawyers and witnesses (costly, inefficient, painful)

- Escrow accounts for service providers (ex freelancers) through multisig wallets, currently done by intermediary platforms (costly, inefficient)

You're right, although any mention of strncpy should come with a big disclaimer that it's effectively broken because you can end up with a non-NULL terminated string in some cases. strlcpy should be the way to go but unfortunately it's not part of the C standard and not available everywhere (sometimes for rather bullshit reason IMO, but that's a different story).

An American family I visited a while ago would use paper plates and plastic forks for every meal at home to save on dishes. I was shocked, but they seemed to think it was standard behaviour in the US. Is it?
For some families, yes, it is.
Just because we can wage a trade war doesn’t mean we can win it.

The fact that we have an unfair trade agreement with China now, in no way means that a trade war will necessarily be to our benefit. I imagine it’s going to damage our economy quite a bit, and do the same for China.

You mention that inaction would be “pathetic” which may be the case. And if we want to do something about it, we can, but it doesn’t mean the US or the world will better off for doing so.

Just look at Iraq. For sure, there was a horrible dictator there who committed genocide and other terrible things. So the US acted. Was it a success? Was it the best possible use of those trillions of dollars? Who knows, but I suspect not.

Just because there is a wrong in the world doesn’t mean that we definitely have the means to fix it.
No, DSSS is a modulation process rather than a signal-shielding process. The difference is that differential signalling can be converted to single-ended with a simple subtraction (or other passive techniques), but recovering DSSS requires digital signal processing.

In fact, he's got a nice little simulation of generating a "gold code", adding noise and multipath distortion to it, feeding it through an I/F mixer, quantising it, and recovering the original code. http://www.aholme.co.uk/GPS/SRC/2011/C++/Simulation.cpp

Even if you've studied something like biology or nutrition it's incredibly difficult to judge what is good and what is bad advice, as your average school (and professor) is just as full of dogma that has only the most tenuous basis of evidence.

Far and wide the best ground advice you can give yourself and others is to work out - that'll do good things to you, even if you can do it a little. Other than that, eat a moderately varied set of foods. Anything further than that is usually just something someone came up with in the shower and that other people thought sounded real good.

A tax seems the fair solution, if it costs X to dispose of a plastic bottle then tax X each bottle, use the money to dispose of the bottle, adjust X if costs change.
The 'gig' economy reminds me very much of the state of factory workers in the early 1900s. For businesses, it was very clear that forcing workers to work in a very unfriendly way (doing a repetitive task as part of an assembly line) was a multiplier for scale and productivity. However, associated with that was the "price" unfair wages, long hours, stress, strain, and injury.

It took 30-60 years of unions and labor rights before the problem was 'solved' - the non-monetary economics of that kind of production sucked (worker's comp + regulations for human rights) and those factories shipped overseas to where those things didn't exist.

The modern gig economy is really just scaling up distribution instead of mass production. On paper, it is cheap and scalable. But add in all the socio-economic components and you'll realize that it's not really that cheap, and not an economic engine that can survive long term past the initial stages, reason being that demand exists only because the price is subsidized.

Currently, shipping is extremely cheap, subsidized by Amazon, the government, and more recently, the individuals who due to lack of opportunities live with subsistence wages. If shipping was actual market price (where gig workers earned a fair wage), the cost would be much higher, which would shrink demand. (shipping was available as a function since forever, and wasn't ever a popular shopping option until today).

If we wanted free shipping as a standard of living, we would need to subsidize shipping on a governmental level, similar to how we subsidize food (especially meat). Americans don't realize it but meat is cheap in the US, much cheaper than the rest of the world. This is purely because of subsidies, which is a perk to allow the american standard of living: https://www.quora.com/Why-are-meat-and-animal-by-products-so....

If you want to make the american standard of living free package delivery, subsidize the wages from the US government, and force the tech companies to pay real corporate tax.

No one said coal was better or that we should even use it.

But commercial scale solar farms are fucking ugly they take spaces away from people and advocating for more of them at the expense of green spaces is terribly short sighted.

Put solar everywhere we already have ugly box buildings and roads don’t take up even more shared spaces some of them due to current laws are written can even be nature reserves because we’re green after all.
I am really surprised at the amount of voice control units my security conscious friends have installed. I find them offensive. Sure we all want our house to be the starship enterprise, but it's not, it's a house. IoT means just another out of date linux box. I'll stick to using keys for my door.

I still think that the optimal amount of sleep really depends on the person and you can't paint everything with a broad stroke or advise everybody to "have 8.5 hours of sleep". I've found myself the most concentrated and productive the next day when I don't sleep too much, e.g. when I just sleep for 6 to 7 hours. When I sleep a lot I usually just feel too relaxed/hyperactive for some reason and can't properly direct my attention at tasks. I think there should be people with similar experiences out there.

Those statements might be good for raising more public awareness so that they're not chronically extremely underslept, e.g. consecutively for 4-5 hours a day. But to only advocate sleeping a lot is too partial IMHO.

All the things he said are pretty cookie cutter responses you'll hear echoed time and time again from Amazonians. They aren't original thoughts, and I wouldn't expect that this poster would respond 100% honestly if he did have concerns about his job as his profile easily links him to a real id, and Amazon doesn't take kindly to criticisms from NDA'd employees. For more context there's usually a training involved to be able to post online about Amazon, and it is explicit in not voicing criticisms.
What's unexplained are the content-less, conspiracy-theoretic, complaining, BS comments like the string of comments above this one.

This sort of thing and the sorts of things Facebook and other companies do really gives CRM and marketing a poor name. My team and I work in technical CRM and we do what we can to give our customers actual relevant advertisements. We also willingly collect only relevant data, don’t store it indefinitely, and never purchase data. The social team gets cranky with us but we have a core set of values that we don’t compromise even when upper management gets pushy.

Pivotal tracker/Slack

2. after evaluating Kanboard and WeKan we decided to keep it simple and reuse the Gitlab (issue-tracker) as a Kanban board (we already used gitlab anyway so this was something everyone was familiar with).
The line is blurrier in my eyes.

The library combines regular grammars that need an interpreter (the `match` method, which is bundled with the regexp object), whereas parser combinators work on code written in the same language (that is ultimately interpreted by the CPU).

Edit: the parser in this case is a `(Regexp.prototype.match, regex.source)` tuple, whereas in the case of a praser combinator lib in a language that compiles to machine code, it would be `(call instruction, instructions list)`.
I don't think the cost is known. If the consequence is microplastics in the oceans it's probably so high that any number assigned as the cost is equivalent to a ban. You wouldn't buy a $10 plastic bag at the grocery store.

The reason for this is of course that it's a complete pain to work with the large email providers (say, you want to send an email to gmail) if you have your own service. Email has been far from truly decentralised for a while now.

Why not reverse the immigration process? Instead of doing tremendous amounts of paper work after which the system takes a guess if you will be able to contribute to the country, run that process backwards instead and lower the threshold for IT professionals to enter NZ significantly and then they get to prove their worth.

Start with a very rudimentary initial screening and after say a 2 year trial period have a selection process based on what the person in question has accomplished. That way people get to prove themselves and what the can contribute with instead.

If you don't contribute, i.e. receive social welfare or similar, you're out. If you contribute by performing in the labour market, start an at least moderately successful business or similar you're in. I don't understand why all immigration systems don't work like this...
On the flipside, I worked on promotions game systems in the brand promotions space with instant win and giveaways after the user played a game. If they won we had to contact them to verify and get info to send them the prize.

When someone won the prize we had to get the social security number of the person that won for gift tracking as many were over 15k, their contact info and location to send the prize, you'd be surprised at how many people pass that up or think it is a scam and/or never get back. We had to pick the next person if they passed it up or didn't get back and sometimes it would go through dozens of people before they would accept it. Lots of game systems, trips and even motorcycles were passed up.

I myself would have probably done the same thing, hard to believe you won and if you do win it is hard to not think it is a scam due to systems like mentioned in the article.
Port 465 is unnecessary once STARTTLS was invented. It has exactly the same upside / downside but it wastes an entire TCP port and an entire RTT plus maybe a timeout to signal (non-)availability.

So it makes sense to deprecate this use of port 465 and just tell people to use STARTTLS.

The next big win in documentation is configuration docs, but there's a type doc bug I'm waiting on first before I can merge it.

However, the `tutor`, new tab page, help page introduction and addons.mozilla.org page (stored on repo as amo.md) always fall out of date, so time spent reading through those and adding things that are missing or out of date is always time well spent. The changelog is probably the easiest source of truth to work from.

Seriously fuck this stupid shit. When I was there this fucker in India bribed my manager for a ticket to the US on L1 Visa as our new manager. Once there his only goal was to sell as many US-based jobs to Indians in India as possible. He kept telling me I had to set up meetings with India, set up one on ones with his buddy in India. Fuck that guy. Now there is no way in hell I would subject myself to a "jury" that had assholes like that on it. Sometimes you just have to realize your manager, your team, or your company are just unfixable shit and leave.

Actually, if you addopt a mindset where you don't care about the ecosystem as much, you don't need to wait for rust-wasm to mature.

For example, a friend of mine just shipped a web-app for a client, that wanted something to help them organize local chemists conference between few universities. He wrote it in Elixir. Didn't actually use Javascript, because it doesn't need to be a single-page-app, right? :) Few froms, nice theme. Ok, maybe there was few lines of jquery, where absolutely necessary.

I remember once using Vaadin, just because I already know Java and didn't really care that nobody uses Vaadin anymore :D

Or, if you don't actually have client to solve a problem for, but want to try out a cool tech, I would suggest playing around with PureScript. Inspired by Haskell, compiles to JS, has nice ecosystem and many of the libraries don't have JS dependencies. Or maybe Elm, if you want something simmilar, but more focused/lightweight? :-) Claudia Doppioslash has a nice overview of both: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kGoaUqcq4A

Perhaps I miss your point but if you use one of the supported DNS providers [1] can't you use certbot with DNS authorization and export the key and certificate to your mail server? Otherwise the acmev2 protocol isn't horrible to implement if you want to integrate it with a custom infrastructure.

One easy way to see that "linear" does not mean "line-like" is looking at matrix transforms: All matrix transforms are linear. And we can do a lot of stuff easily with those, like rotating, distorting, even perspective (with w-normalization).
That's mostly wrong, if you take another look at it.

The American revolution was rich aristocrats shaking off the power that the British ones had over them.

The Russian revolution (October 1917) was a military coup that the Bolsheviks pulled off by subverting enough of an army tired of war - the democratic February revolution hadn't taken Russia out of WWI.

The French revolution was a religious one - the encyclopedists had found a revelation, and by gosh they were going to islam the rest of the world with it.

Etc.

Ah! That is one of the few MSX systems I do not have yet... I have all of them including east EU/Russian knock-offs. In my experience MSX systems were far far more robust that C64 for instance; I have a lot of C64’s; most of them are broken; all MSX’s still work. That can have many causes but looking at the PCBs and components it seems they really tried to make C64 as cheap as possible while MSXs have more robust components.
But such a tax gives no incentive for companies to change their packaging. The tax is paid by the customer who usually has few or no options.

For example in the UK plastic one-litre milk pitcher bottles are ubiquitous. Even the few remaining door-to-door milkmen deliver them, instead of the old one-pint reusable glass bottles. I simply can't buy fresh milk in anything else and i have a recycling bin full of them.

Reverting to glass would add weight, breakages and collection costs to the companies. So they wouldn't have any incentive to change under a tax scheme when they don't pay it. Only a ban will change their behaviour.

One of the biggest problems at Amazon is the lack of accountability for managers. Someone who consistently works their direct reports 60 hours/week but meets deadlines has no incentivize to change. 4 years later, everyone has quit and there's a mountain of tech debt. This becomes the next manager's problem, who is likely more clueless than his/her predecessor.

I don't understand one thing: the whole point of a disposable e-mail address it's that you just can use it instantly and never reveal your real e-mail addresses to anyone. That's why Mailinator got so popular. But in order to use Maskmail I have to register - what's the point?
I was thinking I could give it a try because it's new so it will work for a while for sites that for some strange reason block disposable e-mail addresses, but registering simply defeats the purpose.

Isn't scare mongering a common way to prevent risk?

Usually if the future seems bleak, don't traders adjust their behavior and investments to avoid loss?

As long as finance is scared, it seems that a recession cannot happen.

Of course some might get frustrated and find that they are unable to expand their business, and break through barriers, and lobby against regulations.

I wonder how wall Street is behaving since Trump's election, and if risky policy is being put in place, and if wall Street is being cautious.
