I found that for myself and for a bunch of friends that chewing gum accomplished this.

Discovered this on a fairly bumpy flight, (gum is lousy for ear pressure imbalances but I carry it anyway). After that I began experimenting on others and it usually worked for them too.
But it has electrolytes.

As i recall it takes 2 people to physically launch an ICBM from either a bunker or a sub (simultaneous key turns). The other delivery method is a bomber, not sure what is takes to arm those.

I hear you. The goal of our analytics collection is to know the # of active users of our product. So, we send an event to Google Analytics when a command is run or periodic pings for long running (> 1 hr) commands. You can disable it by setting the flag --enable-analytics=false. You can see further discussion on this matter here: https://github.com/cncf/toc/issues/107#issue-311155675

Lastly, everything is open source. So, you are free to read the code and modify and use your modified version if that's what you prefer.

The main reason I decided to pursue this path is the fact the my first customer was not being well-served by the previous supplier (which has way larger customers by the way). After some talks with other business owners in my region, it became clear there is a lack of proper suppliers here.

I guess I need some awareness, and, besides the social networking, I think I need some digital voice as well.
Thanks, this is intended. It makes the code less complicated, but also means you can add the different fonts together more easily, which is particularly good for mobile.

Well, if you had a gun and permission to shoot people for being "uncooperative" or "resisting" or "refusing to obey orders", you'd be right all the time too.
That implies that PDFs work with glyph indices, not Unicode code points. How do PDFs work for shaped languages like Hindi? In a script like that, you may have glyphs without any corresponding Unicode code point. Or does the PDF perhaps store the original unshaped text?
The Manager's Path by Camille Fournier
This book validated a lot of my fears and concerns. It also gave me much more insight to see how other managers/directors above me see my role - rather than just focusing on your reports.

Also, join Rand's manager slack.
http://randsinrepose.com/welcome-to-rands-leadership-slack/

Even if you only have time to lurk on that slack, the discussions have been incredibly illuminating for me!
But recycling good!
I actually think this is a pretty literal description of automatically learned decision trees, which are used in practice (directly or as sub parts of state-of-the-art techniques like gradient boosting). It is basically learning a series of complex nested if statements.

Edit: also, there is actual work done in so-called “program synthesis”, especially employing Bayesian techniques, although it’s way more experimental and I haven’t heard of it being used “in the wild”.

I notice this is already being abused in submissions to HN. Sigh. A user being able to override a site's restrictions on their input seems like a horrendous idea, not to mention the accessibility implications.

Just looking at the comment section here I have concluded that this is a blight on the web. Sites (unfortunately) should go ahead and update to strip this BS out
> They are (for some reason) trying to set this up as a "Robinhood vs The Man (tm)" thing.

They are banking (unintentional pun) way too hard on "millennial research" telling them that the '82-'04 crowd wants "a meaningful connection" with their jobs, and apparently, their financial services provider. Maybe this is how they're hoping to relate to them?

The connotations of "Robin Hood" are such that it's a pretty brazen name to pick. Especially so when you consider that it's a VC-funded startup that will almost certainly go to a Too Big To Fail institution when an IPO beckons.
Oh, I don't know about morality, didn't realize we are discussing it here. All I know is that you have 2 options: either ignore the law but make sure you are ready to face the consequences, or don't ignore the law. I don't think there is a 3rd option where you knowingly ignore the law and then cry about being punished for doing it.
The article notes the "maturity" of the support software. Indeed when I was writing manuals for SGI in the 90s, I was trying to document what seemed like extremely sophisticated compiler optimization techniques, including link-time optimization. (Due to customer demand there was also a screaming Fortran IV compiler, but it was bought in from a vendor.)

I also remember how one range of the MIPS line (4000?) had the "4K page bug" where a page fault induced by the last instruction on a page caused some nasty problem. IRIX had special code to handle it.

I always assumed that the loud noise reduces sensitivity, tuning out some quiet signals like tinnitus. Same thing as not being able to hear well after a loud concert.
Some people definitely do choose to be poor. Others don't. But both kinds of people certainly exist.

I have been physically fit my whole life. The comments people make to me in casual conversation might raise your eyebrows. They don't say, "I wish I weren't overweight, and I feel powerless to do anything about my problem." Instead, they say things like, "HAW HAW HAW I don't run unless chased HAW HAW HAW!" They say, "I hate vegetables, I can't stand them. How can you eat steamed brussels sprouts? How do you go without sweets?"

They can't figure me out. They just don't understand how it's possible to work out twice a day, take two 15-minute walks, and restrict my daily calories to 2000. They can't figure out why I don't eat bacon all the time, like they do. They can't figure out why I don't eat patty melts and biscuits-and-gravy.

These folks are not fat for medical reasons.
The US already has an extradition treaty with Malaysia. Although I kind of doubt it would have any real implications in this case.

Interesting - I thought using Unicode characters would break text search capability - but when I did the old Ctrl-F 'find' in Chrome and looked for the word 'fancy', it detected all of the above.

This article suggests that their investment strategies may be suboptimal in many cases.

Some of it may be the forced diversification you get with this much money. It's hard or impossible to dump $100M into a single stock unless you are an Elon Musk type and own the company. So if you make a bad bet and lose a million bucks, well, that's just 1% of your portfolio and the rest will make up for it. Of course you're a regular millionaire and lose a million bucks on a bad investment you are going to the poorhouse.

You could dump $100M into GE without triggering anti hostile takeover actions, but they're also not likely to go bankrupt anytime soon.

Maybe some hundred millionaires could have had their portfolio completely tied up in Lehman Brothers a few years ago, but even then you probably would have gotten a fair bit of money back.

But this goes back to my point that as long as you aren't pants on head with your investments you are beyond the point where it's possible to ever be poor again.
It feels to me like the question of how humans react to life-threatening situations is less relevant here than the question of how humans judge what _is_ a life threatening situation. Are you in imminent danger of death if you encounter a teenager walking away from you in the middle of the street at night? I think most people would judge that situation to be non-life-threatening and I guess the jury in the referenced case agreed.
I'm a banking & securities regulation attorney and I don't know one single attorney who would've given this the green light. Not one. Not even the attorneys I know who have a reputation for their "liberal" interpretation of regulations would have okayed this without at least notifying SIPC of their plans.
There's a world of difference between just typing "+" or "/" because you've seen it and just going on token frequency/pattern matching, and really understanding the concept.

X = Y + Z

Is often going to be quite different in control flow consequences from
X = Y / Z
If Z happens to be zero.

Obviously, but that is more of a concept in understanding mathematics than writing and understanding code. For example, do you need to know that Y / 0 returns a custom exception inherited from several parent classes under the parent Exception? Are you really thinking about all that when you code? Or is it mostly irrelevant and you just need to know that an error occurs and you need to be mindful of it (regardless of whether the error comes in the form of an exception, error code, hardware interrupt, etc.)

API's are written specifically to avoid needing to peek under the code and you should only really need to if they are poorly documented. Even then, you only seem to think only the next level of abstraction is warranted and not other levels (i.e. IL/x86 assembly or machine code). This next level of abstraction can yield important learning in code optimization because what you write in a higher level language can be implemented in multiple ways at a lower one (sometimes at a performance determent).

Either way, most coding is a black box exercise. While looking under the hood is useful and informative at times, nobody has the brain capacity nor time to absorb it all and apply it. Which is why the smart people built upon other smart people to put a model in place that can be applied without knowing what machine instructions your computer spits out after compilation, or without knowing the implementation details of how you get a list of a specific type or how it adds/removes/copies/etc. Same as science. You don't need to do an experiment every time to know the motion of the planets, measuring their positions in the sky each time to calculate the orbits and deriving the equations through calculus. You simply skip to the step of Newtonian mechanics and kinematic equations.

Imagine if everyone had to learn how an engine worked in order to operate a vehicle. Hardly anyone would be able to drive.
In math usage an ℝ might be "the Regular set" and involved in equations that use a variable R. It's not unusual, and in fact, sometimes important, when reciting math as speech to make it clear which is the "bold" or "set" or "group" R, versus which is the ordinary R.

I don’t understand the focus specifically on water bottles when this comes up.... I understand we don’t all have pipes that bring Coca-Cola to our homes

It sounds like you do understand the focus on the bottle that's easily replaced by opening a tap or using the water fountain that's found in most public places.

Likewise there's a lot of focus on replacing light bulbs with energy efficient alternatives, and less focus on replacing electric space heaters because light bulbs are easily replaced with little impact on the user (and indeed, save money over the long run) and are more common than electric space heaters.
What an epic response.
The other day i commented same thing in the Wireguard thread but got downvoted.

or maybe something more like:

Peter Gibbons: [Explaining the plan] Alright so when the sub routine compounds the interest is uses all these extra decimal places that just get rounded off. So we simplified the whole thing, we rounded them all down, drop the remainder into an account we opened.

Joanna: [Confused] So you're stealing?

Peter Gibbons: Ah no, you don't understand. It's very complicated. It's uh it's aggregate, so I'm talking about fractions of a penny here. And over time they add up to a lot.

Joanna: Oh okay. So you're gonna be making a lot of money, right?

I know less about shareholder buybacks than I do about divideds, but they are pretty similar to dividends. A buyback is returning $X in bigger chunks to a few shareholders, and a dividend it returning a $X to all shareholders. A dividend usually drops stock value in line with amount of dividend paid out, so in a sense you could think if it as the company saying "I'm buy 1% of your $100 share, so you get $1 and the share is now worth $99".

Anytime a company pays a dividend AND increases their outstanding debt in the same time period, you could draw ths conclusion that they financed the dividend using debt.

Check out the financials for Vector group...

https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/VGR/financials?p=VGR

On the summary page you can see they pay about a 15% dividend. On their income statement you can see their net income is less than $100 million USD. On the balance sheet, you can see the long term debt has increased by a serveral hundred million over the last few years. That dividend sure sounds like it is financed by debt, although you'd have to dig into what is really going on to know for sure.

No I'm sorry, I didn't explain it correctly then. I was commenting specifically on the data-types which can be mutated but only in a thread-safe/concurrent-safe manner.

Everything else, incl the entirety of the core language, is immutable and functional. You have to go out of your way to mutate.

Its a functional Lisp tightly integrated with the JVM and compiles to both Java bytecode and Javascript. I think that makes it unique.
Without having looked throughly at the links, here's what immediately came to mind:

- using any framework without an active community is tech debt
- some may even say using PHP for a project today is tech debt
13 square boxes on Linux detracts from the effect somewhat.
I'm not clear from the Wikipedia page whether those illustrations reflect actual "we found branching specimen fossils" knowledge, or speculation based on "we think it's tree-ish so it must branch". The illustrations that show branching both appear to date from the 19th century.

I would agree with you in general but this is probably not the best example of it. Sergey Brin and Larry Page own a majority of the voting shares at Google. So even though it's technically a public company, it's still for all intents and purposes their company. It's the same story with Zuckerberg and Facebook which is why things like 'shareholders calling for Zuckerberg to be replaced' don't really mean anything directly. If every single shareholder except Zuckerberg voted to replace him, he stays. Consequently the actions and behaviors of these companies strongly reflect the views and desires of these individuals.
I'm sure we buy tons of products like that. Some of my coworkers worked on Black Knight's MSP before. The costs over there are even more insane. But in my department (a risk department) everything is custom ETL, custom web apps, and custom or off the shelf reporting.
I tested the ones with circles and squares, and Google definitely doesn't understand them.
Many flavors of Scrum have daily standups where you must (briefly) talk to the rest of the team, and also involve doing pair programming where you are constantly discussing something with another team member sitting next to you. (This last part actually saps my energy and is something I don't enjoy about agile methodologies...)

The problem is that highly technical and focused conversation seems nothing like aimless conversation in social situations.
▶ Online video editor integrated with YouTube: [Desktop Electron app] Make editing videos as easy as watching them.

I vote for this one, but I would probably build it into a webapp for easy accessing or a native app for hw acceleration.

▶ Visual PHP code editor, focused on Wordpress plugin development: [Web-based] Similar to Unreal-Engine-Blueprints.

I don't know. I'm not a php programmer or a wordpress user.

▶ Twitter-like social network for fairly smart people. [Web-based + mobile app] A social network that asks its users very simple basic intelligence questions, things like “Chocolate milk is usually made of: A) Milk from brown cows B) Cocoa and sugar C) Milk and cola”

I'm not a twitter user either.

▶ Online Webcomic creator [Web-based]: Make creating webcomics easier (pre-made cartoon eyes, noses, backgrounds, etc)

seems to be difficult to monetize.

▶ Make your website prettier and responsive without pain [Web-based]: Analyze an old website visually, create a more modern look for it, and a responsive version using algorithms.

The description is a bit vague. it really depends on how the AI can perform.

▶ GTA2 like game [Windows/linux and mobile]: Made using Unity, cartoony style, think Crash-bandicoot meets old GTA. Plus cartoony power-ups think Rocket League.

Games are very risky in terms of financial success, creating graphics assets for games is also costly.
I’m very resilient to motion sickness but playing Black Mesa made me very sick. I think the real problem is the head bobbing, which is more subtle in some games than others.
In part, it's because things move fast in the tech industry, and regulations based on expired premises can impede one's ability to react to change. It's the cost of regulation.

It seems deceptively simple and cheap at first to pass a law or engineer a mechanism to protect us from something. But that should be weighed with the long-term cost and risk of the regulation/mechanism going out of date. It's a lot harder to get rid of it than to add it.
Makes sense to me. News like "trade crypto on Robinhood" wouldn't mean anything to someone not interested in that sector, but everybody understands the value of high interest chequing account. And now that they realize it's not happening, they are right to feel that the company is a fly by night operation.

The fact that they announced this before confirming it with regulators smacks of CEO arrogance in the "Funding Secured!" vein.
Downvotes are a form of attention.
"But out of the tap, N. American water tastes bad."

This may be true in the cities/neighborhoods that you've lived in, but in most (not all) of the cities I've lived in, the tap water has been excellent.

To say that all North American tap water tastes bad is simply false.

I'm not trying to suggest screen reading is easy, but the billions of dollars Google invest are not comparable here as they obviously do a huge range of things and the reader tools need to do a much narrower range.

This came up at Halloween with all those pleas not to post tweets heavy with emoji due to the issues with screen readers. I get the concern, and I'd typically do my best to be inclusive with personal content and compliant with accessibility on professional content, but there is a balance to be struck - we don't need a Procrustean restriction on what are now reasonably established forms of communication, what we need is for screen reader efforts to step up and work in these cases. It may seem a challenge (especially for legacy coded readers) but other posters already linked to basic solutions that can help on the fonts and this isn't beyond the wit of human ingenuity. This is an opportunity.

I feel completely the opposite.

Not that email or any of the million other apps don't produce constant interruptions - but in terms of what I want my role to be and what I find pleasure in.

A world of high stimulation and constant social interaction? A million things shouting at me and I have to sort through them and grab the most important one and hop from thing to thing fast? That's what I like.

Focusing on one topic for hours, days, even weeks to really understanding every facet of it? I think it'd kill me. I know people theoretically need these big blocks of uninterrupted time to get work done, but I'd much rather have a bunch of meetings where we can figure out the path forward.

I have mad respect for him... but I never could have been an academic.

If I remember correctly, the Source engine increased the field of view from 75 degrees to 90. So you could definitely get sick on Half-Life 2 when Half-Life 1 is just fine for you. You might try lowering the field of view in Source games.

For us we have giant database like applications that consume data across the entire bank to calculate risk indicators. There are all kinds of risk at a bank so it gets pretty complicated with all the products we have. They either generate views for downstream business partners or directly generate reports. The views are frequently over 1000 columns wide and are at an account level (the data is initially transaction level). We also have some web apps to provide a user interface or off the shelf customizable reporting like tableau or microstrategy.
