> We don't limit the activities because of money

But you do limit their activities? They're in theater? Imagine some of the amazing storytelling they're missing out on in video games simply because of the medium in which the story is told. The same for painting. If it wasn't for my love of video games and Neopets, I never would have picked up Photoshop and started making graphics for other people I met on forums when I was a kid even if I was glued to a screen.

They also play sports. Plenty of parallel lessons you could learn in competitive video gaming that doesn't carry as much of a stigma as something like chess or even less physical, traditional sports.
I mean, Orrick's name is generally enough for me. They're our lawyers, and talking with any of their partners is like talking with the best engineer you've ever worked with. They just pull apart whatever they're working with.

I mean, who knows, but their reputation is worth so much more than a privacy policy that it's actually enough for me.
...if not, you should. This is definitely not normal, but the longer you'll stay in such a toxic environment, the more you'll get used to it, until it seems normal to you. RUN.
I’m sorry but this fails reason on even a basic level and reminds me of something a snopes fact check would be needed for. There is x amount of energy in sunlight and if it is going through leaves it is not available to your crop to grow. Same goes for the nutrients fueling all those trees etc. He is doing a great job at making a forest web but I’d like some verified figures for that cocoa production vs a real cocoa farm.
I don’t have the historical context, but its easy to fall into a trap like this even these days. Start with a config file, eventually it grows a need for conditionals, maybe some event handing, ....

The only real competition for Tesla right now is BYD and maybe Nissan. Everything else has essentially vaporware until they get to version 2 production models and it is questionable if they will find sufficient takers for their version 1s Tesla BYD and Nissan will have mature products by then. This is exactly why Tesla is trying to ramp up so fast. The complexity of optimizing battery discharge and cooling in a wide variety of environments is a very real moat these companies have.

It also seems like most modern UX theory values discoverability and ease-of-first-time-use far more than ergonomics for everyday users. At my work the UX/design team often evaluate new features by putting people in front of them without telling them anything and expecting them to work everything out on their own (often while they're being watched). A lot of our product is something that our customers interact with many times per day, yet we don't spend 1% the time optimizing workflows for the people who know what's going on compared to what we do for first time users.

You might also keep cats indoors to stop them from picking up fleas.
Sounds right to me. All you can do is collect paychecks and find another pirate ship to climb aboard to repeat the process in hopes of continued/better gains.
The leakers at Google should be executed and their families should be forced to pay the bullet.

No, it’s not normal.

But it has nothing to do with masculinity. It’s not normal for women to be treated like that in the workplace either.

Yes, in the workplace ultimately your boss has the last word and you have to do what they say (and perform up to their expectations and meet reasonable deadlines) to keep your job.

Even a good boss may sometimes ask you to stay late to meet a deadline that has meaningful consequences for the business. And if you’ve shown a pattern of poor performance or behavior and have not shaped up after multiple calm discussions, they may berate you. Enforcing deadlines and making sure you’re meeting expectations is your boss’s job.

But that doesn’t mean it’s ok for them to bully you. Public humiliation; speaking in a way that belittles you; that starts to cross a line.

I’ve had otherwise good bosses who would occasionally make tone-deaf “jokes”. In one case, they made me uncomfortable because they stemmed from a culture that’s less familiar to me, where people (mostly men) express fondness by making fun of one another’s quirks. I put up with that until they crossed a line; then let him know I didn’t find that funny, and he stopped.

It’s not entirely clear from your post which side of the line this falls on. If it’s the wrong side, my suggestion would be to find a better place to work.

My kids get to use the internet from 6am to 7:30. Google wifi automatically turns it on and off.

They need to be completely ready for school before they can play otherwise they dont get to play the next day.

This has resulted in

1) I never have to wake them up or tell them to get ready

2) they go to bed early at night on their own so they can get up early to play.

They are 11 and 6.

The feature that makes it so hard for me to leave Gmail is the automatic bundling of promotions, updates, social, forums. That has made managing my inbox actually manageable. Is that any way to get a feature with another email provider?
Hahaha! Indeed. Perhaps they’ll take user privacy more seriously after this.
I have never worked at Google but I have worked at several large firms. They are without exception constituted by dozens or perhaps hundreds of tiny fiefdoms. Within each fiefdom the senior most manager has their own policies, culture and values.

If this is true of Google — which if you think about, has to be the case — then I would read this as one particular manager got very worked up about leakers.
An interesting shift.

'Don't be evil' becomes

'Don't let people know we are evil'
What is remarkable about the world map in this article is how many petrostates buy our oil: UK and Norway, and the UAE(?!).

I get that there's probably been a fair bit of empty tanker capacity over the past few decades going back the other way, but I wonder what's so special about US oil that merits taking it all the way to the Persian Gulf. Surely our military didn't need that much for its operations in the neighborhood?

When someone puts sugar in my tea or coffee it genuinely ruins it for me, but I eat sweet things faily rarely and so haven't developed the tolerance and/or addiction to that flavour.

Could it be that not eating sugar isn't so much of a strenuous ascetic chore, but rather it's the reduction in sugar intake which is particularly (albeit temporarily) awkward?

I think you are misunderstanding the meaning of subjective.

"the earth is flat" let's say this is clearly wrong for you and me, is it wrong for the guy who wants to launch a rocket to prove it's right (there were news about him few weeks ago)? So while his views are wrong from the viewpoint of the majority, they are right from his own viewpoint.

Same for the rest of your examples.
Agree.
All you need to do is just import a project like Chromium or Webkit... and try to navigate files/projects.

Sublime is really good for large projects.
Yes, they are, mostly, when you dig into the details below the platitudes.

Google and Facebook are the two biggest violators of user privacy on the internet. You call it "trashing", I call it long-overdue public scrutiny.
It should be if the press isn't afraid to do their job because of Google's far reaching influence.
I did not mean in general, but sometimes there is stuff that never got a better replacement.
There are two kinds of leaks.

The first kind is leaks for glory, profit, etc, ie: we're about to release this hot new product and I'm sneakily letting TechNews.whatever know about it ahead of time. Maybe you get paid for this leak. Maybe you just do it because you're excited or want to feel important. It's rule-breaking behavior for personal gain, monetary or otherwise.

The second kind is the moral, ethical leak. Whistle-blowing. My company/government is doing something that I find horrendous, that violates my ethics, that I think is or should be illegal, and I want the world to know about it. I also don't want to lose my job because despite not liking what my organization is doing, I also like my life as it is. This is rule-breaking behavior not for personal gain, but for a sense of morality.

We should not let ourselves believe these are the same thing. The first is a selfish act, while the second is (to some extent) a selfless one. Those who yell "F--- you leakers" are trying to convince you its the same thing and use the negative emotions directed at the first to convince people not to do the second.
It will be hard for me to leave Google Inbox because of the peaceful feeling I get from easily snoozing or marking my emails as done by the end of the day. I don't know if I will ever feel as accomplished and with as little distraction.

I'd say it's a problem in the interaction of that specific version of python with that specific malloc. From a performance perspective we could not afford to simply force malloc to only use mmap for every small allocation (as it would thrash the TLB and/or balloon memory usage).

Something they could have done inside Python is manually implement a short-lived objects space that lives entirely in pre-allocated memory, preventing the repeated allocations.

I should have mentioned that the app in particular was running python2.7 - some preliminary tests on porting to python3 seemed to indicate that the issue was significantly less severe there, though the problem only occurred very infrequently that restarting the affected processes when they started exceeding a memory threshold was a more cost-effective solution that spending ages debugging the interactions.
Cats are perfectly fine indoors and not "trapped". In fact, indoor cats live much longer on average than outdoor cats because there is much less danger (attacked by dogs, wild animals, ran over, poisoned, maimed)

Cats are not dogs, or lions for that matter. They don't have to be outside to be happy.
Would you like to offer up your version of events? An anonymous person saying "no, that's not accurate, in some ways, you don't need to know which," doesn't ... well, I don't know to extrapolate any meaning from that at all.
Just at a glance it looks about 10x faster than my Prusa, but I agree it wouldn't be much more than 2-3x faster than larger scale printers for sure. I don't think Carbon would come under "comparable 3D printers" as it is resin based which is often faster.

The wikipedia links submitted that make the front pages are almost automatic reads for me. They aren't news so much as obscurities, and are usually pretty fascinating.
Anecdote, data, all that.
It's in the interaction between python and malloc and also migrating to python3 made the issue mostly go away, which was sufficient for our purposes.
You think the press is trashing Facebook? That makes no sense. Facebook is committing trash behaviors and the press is just reporting on them.
The second one is also personal gain, as you yourself explained. It's a way to protest the organization or harm coworkers without making a personal sacrifice. Morality is self interest as much as money is.

print in Perl 6 works the same as print in Perl 5.

put/say are output functions which automatically add a newline at the end.

If you want fancier formatting, printf is available as well.

And notice the relative lengths of these names. As much as possible, p6 is organized so that the more commonly used thing will have the shorter name.

PS I don't think I have ever used put in p6. My code uses say, or print if I don't want a newline added to the output.
The UK's oil production has been falling steadily since the mid-nineties, and consumption has remained relatively flat, so it makes sense that they'd import oil. Petrostate also implies that the nation's wealth stems from oil, which was never the case for the UK.

IIRC oil comes in many different grades, I believe North Sea Oil is a higher grade/more expensive than general US oil (West Texas Intermediate I think it's called), so we export North Sea Oil and then buy cheaper oil for our own needs.
The article doesn’t really read like that to me. There’s a global “stopleaks” email address to report leakers to, and leakers have been fired when reported.
Iff I understand correctly, what pdonis is saying is that it is in your future. It’s where (when?) you run out of future to go into, in a way which may or may not be analogous to the North Pole being the coordinate singularity where you run out of north to move in.

In general? Nothing.

But, if the leaks are about unethical bluestones practices or illegal action? Google might be better served living by their own original motto than hunting leakers.
This isn't just crude oil: it's "crude oil and refined petroleum products". Oil refining is something the US has massive capacity for; we can ship oil in, refine it, and ship gasoline etc back out, often cheaper than refining the oil closer to its origin. It helps to remember that shipping on bulk liquids is very inexpensive per ton.
The current time is probably the worst in net amount of wasteful natural resource consumption humans have taken part of. All this leads to is more pointless burning of resources that will take 50 million years to regenerate, saturation of atmosphere with gases that are nothing short of barbaric geo engineering, and proliferation of pointless business (energy jobs) among population that seems like is having hard time adjusting to a future where the jobs are not going to be as necessary.
Show HN: Autonomous Artist in a Box
Do you have a source to back up that claim? Australia has specific problems with cats, but apart from that, without evidence to the contrary, i don't see cats as any more problematic than other wildlife. There are more pressing issues to do with birds, mostly involving loss of hedgerows and tree habitats from 'development', and climate change.

I don't know if this is what is going on here, but I get the impression that these sort of discussions are ways to probe theories for inconsistencies. That seemed more clearly the case in this recent commentary by Sabine Hossenfelder on a paper invoking negative mass[1].

You don't have to experimentally observe a posited contradiction before thinking about whether it really is one, and if so, how it might be resolved. For one thing, you might find a way to investigate the issue experimentally.

I'd resurrect Headway Theme for Wordpress. It was kinda open source but had some proprietary bits in I think. And there is a fork somewhere apparently. But the software is effectively dead and not getting updated any more.

But that theme builder was absolutely amazing. Literally just drag and drop design for the entire theme, not just pages or whatever. Plus control over the loop and just some awesome stuff that really let you build very very cool sites really really quickly.

Elementor Pro now does some of what Headway was doing and I think Beaver Builder is moving that way, but they aren't really anywhere close to as good. Headway had graphical theme design absolutely nailed.

It's a big shame it went under and I wish it came back.

Because that’s clearly business, especially if you’re being paid or sponsored. If you get a specifically tourist visa and then admit to being in the country on business there’s probably going to be an issue.

If you're, say, a US citizen visas aren't required in a lot of cases and visas on arrival often don't distinguish between business and tourism.
I think this is just Google growing up. When you're a smallish company with little influence, what you say and who you talk to just don't matter. But when you're a big company, with big responsibilities and a big footprint, everything you say and do are closely watched, and therefore matter. You just can't run a multi-billion dollar enterprise like a free&easy five-person startup.
