Maybe this is why they were only (supposed to be) staying for a month at each destination?

I imagine from the host countries' point of view, they were the same as ordinary tourists - how they manage to finance their month-long "vacation" is usually not in the interest of the host country, and in this case, they happened to finance it by working remotely during the stay.

Now what happens when they exceed the maximum stay time of a tourist visa due to being stranded is a different question.

Exactly. Most password leaks seem to come from hacked websites and thus badly implemented security. And that's another point i was making: Keep it simple but secure, so that implementors have it simple and don't mess it up.

Old problem. Using limited liability to scam customers, employees, and suppliers is almost as old as limited liability itself.

Some individuals do it professionally. It's very hard - and expensive - to prove bad faith and fraudulent intent. It's even more expensive for victims to chase money owed even if fraud is proven.

There should definitely be more attention paid to directors/CEOs with a long trail of insolvencies and legal challenges. Instead of informal consumer reviews or nasty feedback on the BBB, it wouldn't be bad for every country to issue businesses and individuals with their own business equivalent of a credit (credibility) rating - one that's lenient on reasonable failure but comes down hard on anything that looks like a pattern of premeditated scamming and corporate legal trolling.

Hi Peter,

My company based in Taiwan is about to send me (a Canadian) to the US to help set up new branch and lead business development. Some senior management in the company think I should get the L1-b VISA. But according to my research, L1-a seems more suitable. What's you opinion?

Thanks!

I played Myst and Riven at a time when the internet connectivity was very poor, so there were no tips or game guides to help. Got frustrated, me and my friend started playing it as a duo in our spare times, and we would compare notes afterwards. My friend later said that he would see an ordinary gate or a wall, and think of ways around it or over it, for days after playing Myst. Even now, I can remember some of the atmospheric backgrounds - the breezes, the creaks etc. Very spooky and enchanting games. I don't know if I loved them, just that they were an annoying part of my life for 2-3 months.

Although that was part of the general SF atmosphere in the mid 1960s when the book came out. It was quite common for characters to have weird mental powers and magical abilities that seem more in place in fantasy than SF, in part because of the influential SF editor John W Campbell who was into the occult and various new religions.

I've been a vegetarian (and vegan). Now I considered myself a reducetarian.

There are 3 motivations why people follow such a diet or lifestyle: environment, animal welfare, and health. It is important to realise the interests of these motivations aren't always aligned.

As an example, consider the difference of impact with regards to eating less cow or eating less chicken. If we'd eat less cow, the Co2 footprint would be lower compared to chicken due to required more land and more methane gas from cows however it'd be good for animal welfare since less cows suffer since one cow provides far more meat than a chicken. Conversely, the bio industry's chicken farm's are very efficient regarding space and size however many more animals per human meal are required so more chicken suffer.

Another example I like is rennet and gelatine. Gelatine is by-product. Not one animal less is going to get killed because you eat a gelatine pudding because there's an excess of gelatine. So avoiding gelatine in order to increase animal welfare is inefficient. Rennet, per whole cheese, very little is required from the stomach of the (male) calve, and males are pretty much useless anyway since you need females for the milk. If you eat cheese with rennet regularly then a very low amount of calves die due to that. However technically, it isn't vegan nor is it vegetarian.

There's a BASE-jump spot in the south of France - it's a reasonably high viaduct that traverses a valley.

There is a couple of goats that live under where the bridge span begins - which is also where to happen to gear up for your jump.

While you're trying to prepare mentally and physically for the BASE jump, the goats are trying their best to eat your parachute, pilot chute, parachute bag, shoelaces.

They are completely adorable, and also have their own facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Biquettejetaimebeaucoup/

Even more startling, they frequently mount the span and wander across the valley some 300m below..

What your statement misses is that the problem is confounded by most people simply not believing it. They will believe that "people do fucked up shit to get more resources", while simultaneously believing that government is good, central banking in necessary, the money system is sound, the commercial banks are solvent, voting works, the justice system is blind, the wars are necessary and so on and so on.

And people who point out the truth of this corruption are derided, ridiculed, called a conspiracy theorist, compared to David Icke and so on.

I would concede you your point if people en masse really did think that Icke's statement was common knowledge, but it is clearly not. The myths that keep the common person conforming to the powers that shouldn't be run deep in the psyche.

Funny thing about the hiring sieve is just going through enough interviews prepares you at some point enough to pass somebody's hiring bar. So it's not that you were actually worthy of being hired, rather it's that you had studied for the test enough at that point.

How I Learned Front-End Web Development for Free in Five Days
Misleading?
I don't see how that is true. I own a web hosting business (since 2003). This situation is EXTREMELY common (like 5%-10% of accounts).

I do not see how the payer is the account owner. At all. Can you clarify why that would be?

Legally speaking (in german law): The account owner is the person who opened the account, because that is the person who the provider has made the contract with (except the situation of a "Geschäftsbesorgungsvertrag" or a "Vollmacht" [	letter of authorization, power of authority, idk. whats the english term] where you make the contract for someone else). The payer may have a legal connection to the account owner (will, in 99% of the cases, but must not), but not to the provider.

So legally speaking Linode - at least in german law - Linode is providing unauthorized access to a tzhrid party and will be held accountable for all the damages the account owner suffers. That is a violation of GDPR, too. You'd propbably resolve that by a simple letter from your attorney or a court order if Linode does not comply (taking a few days only because of "emergency conditions").

It's not easy to translate all the legalese, I hope you can follow ;-)

For most countries, paying their debt is just table stakes (not paying their debt is not an option).

That doesn’t give them leverage to print money inflation-free.

What allows the US to do it is the USD’s status as the leading global reserve and trade currency. That status is based on habit and influence.

When I worked on a Python app that did real-time processing of (very large) lists of python dicts, merely processing them in a list comprehension caused "leaks" causing unbound virtual memory growth. The issue was that that for small allocations, eg. interned strings, malloc would use the "brk" call rather than "mmap". "brk" simply bumps the top of heap pointer, so if a more long-lived object gets allocated during the time of the comprehension it creates high-water marks in the heap.

The solution at the time was to process the large lists in smaller chunks at a time to make it less likely that a small longer lived object would be allocated in the middle, preventing later cleanup. However, a better solution would probably have been to rewrite parts of the app in a less allocation-happy language.
I work in lots of different languages and what I do is I try to keep most of my tools consistent between languages.

For example I try to stick to the Idea suite of IDE’s. I use it for java, ruby, Go, Rust, JavaScript, and some others. This way my editor and shortcuts are always the same, debugging is mostly the same, etc.

I'm not sure Tesla can remain competitive with the major car manufacturers as they begin their shift to electric vehicle production. For example, the Jaguar I-Pace is cheaper than the Tesla Model X and also a slightly better car for the money:

How will Tesla be competitive with the Mercedes, BMW, Audi, VW, Porsche, Lexus, etc. electric cars coming out in the next few years? It may not be a good idea for Tesla to buy more plants. Maybe they should look for a buy out.

With each of these institutions it's not so much a problem of being run for profit but rather one of misaligned incentives.

A lot of this stuff is simply happening on merit. Nobody is being forced to use web based platforms, it just so happens to be a convenient option for a lot of developers.

Games have no native look and feel because they typically roll their own UIs. That makes them suitable for running in a browser sandbox. However, performance tends to be critical as is low level access to e.g. 3D hardware. So a lot of games where this is important will likely stay native for as long that that is the faster option. However, as wasm improves and access to relevant features from browsers improves, that will become an interesting target for more game developers. Portability of games is important and a source of a lot of overhead. Targeting e.g. xbox, playstation, windows, osx, android, and IOS requires doing a lot of platform independent stuff. Most of the mainstream game engines are effectively doing a lot of similar stuff as web browsers and there's an increasing overlap in terms of technologies. I expect wasm to be a key enabler here.

2 and 3 are interesting because this vastly simplifies creating new formfactors. Look e.g. at magic leap launching their AR platform and partnering with Firefox to get their VR browser going on a completely new HW and SW plaform for AR. I'd say this creates lots of opportunities because this stuff is open source and standardized to the point where competing implementations are interoperable to a very large degree. So, for magic leap that means a lot of stuff out there, should just work (barring UX issues resulting from AR).

4, again merit. This stuff is happening because developers are voting with their feet and also raising the bar in terms of tool quality. Wasm means that there is actually a renaissance in tool quality and innovation for native development. Just look at what the Rust community is doing for WASM and embedded development. Lots of new tools, libraries, and technology aimed at supporting both.
Why we are going to the office? In most cases I saw it's because management wants to have more control, more performance and possibility to change our environment in any moment. Also most of the employers want us to work same amount of time daily and for all of the week. If it changes it will only if goverment will change the law or something big happens. It is simply more profitable for employers and they have upper hand for most of the people.

Rust doesn't currently have higher-kinded types, which are a separate feature from typeclasses. Implementing a true Functor trait is impossible without HKT, though the lack of it and other FP abstractions generally speaking hasn't been an issue.
It turns out that hyperlinking / embedding shouldn’t involve you giving your memory address space to someone else - who knew :)

And really, the web/REST wound up being the object oriented document framework we were all looking for. It was terribly inefficient at first (and is still) but was architecturally simpler. The main issue is no one thought it would be possible to replace Windows with a cross platform GUI, and no one thought hypertext/hypermedia - a mostly academic concept at the time beyond HyperCard - would be that GUI.

I'm thinking of just:

struct char_nonnull_t { char *ptr; };

char *char_nonnull_as_pointer(struct char_nonnull_t cp) { return cp.ptr; }

With the required extra accessor functions. Of course in C, we don't have generics, data hiding or other nice features, so we have to build a wall of conventions around our types instead. Types with invariants are totally possible in C. We just don't have a way to automatically enforce them. It's C, after all.

Myst is not a FMV game (it has some short motion videos, but it doesn't use FULL motion videos) and computer games of other genres (such as the 1985 racing game Road Avenger) had long been using FMVs before the release of Myst. I don't see how your comment is relevant to Myst.

Some FMV adventure games were actually quite well received. E.g. I remember that there were some very positive reviews on The Dark Eye (1995), an adventure game based on some short stories written by Edgar Allan Poe, but I don't know if the game is really good or not because I haven't played it.
