The moment you owe the stocks thats the moment your view will be biased. Anyways Google search is most likely at its peak because next evolution of internet is voice control. And take it from horse mouth - Google CEO on shareholders call said he is most concern about voice controlled search. Because you know, its hard to show people ads when they use voice to get search result.

> To some degree I think the desire to have “any design you want” is anti-user

To some degree? It is incredibly anti-user, especially if the user happens to have a disability. I know I've said this before but it is absolutely ridiculous that having a "dark mode" is considered some kind of notable feature in 2018, when in 1995 you could just set all your colors and fonts however you preferred them.

But that's the world we live in now. Personal computing is dead, you just rent your computing from some corporation and they'll tell you when to update and how everything should look and what you can and cannot install (for your own good comrade!).

As far as personal computing is concerned we're living in the darkest timeline. Makes me ashamed to have anything to do with the tech industry.

I considered it for my SaaS business. But at the moment my business is based in Poland, so moving to Estonia doesn't change things much (I still can't economically sell to individuals within the EU because of idiotic VAT regulations). I chose to remain in Poland for the time being. On the plus side: low taxes, EU law, first patent troll doesn't bankrupt my business. On the minus side: Stripe continues to ignore Poland, so I have to deal with Braintree and this is a pain in oh so many ways, VAT MOSS is a disaster, and we have the Cult of the Invoice.
The aesthetic value of fountain pens is undeniable but for the left-handed amongst us who refuse to twist their writing hand into some bizarre contortion, the fountain pen will never be viable. My personal left-handed recollections of using fountain pens all involve smears of ink on the side of my hands and smudged lettering.
I think you can still understand that in the framework of a social contract. Sure you can go break the social contract, but if you choose to do so, we happen to have manhunters that attack and capture you (police). If you don't want to be part of the social contract, they can be unbound from it too.
Truck driving is one of those jobs that can't be scaled. Unless you set yourself up to manage other drivers (which of course not everyone can do), there really isn't anywhere for your career to go.

Even in my current line of work–cnc fabrication–the knuckleheads can find ways to make their job easier and efficient. What can a driver do?
I tried “yay!” “Woot!” “cyka blyat” and “fuck you” but these were all classified as neutral.

I think it’s aimed more towards classification of news articles rather than short social comments. It definitely needs an “I don’t know” response though.

Edit: after playing around with it a bit more, this is quite accurate for longer sentences. “This is good,” “this is not good,” “this is pretty alright,” and “this is pretty not very alright” all were classified reasonably, which is rather hard to do.

Edit2: it has a bit of trouble with contractions, like “this isn’t good” vs “this is not good.” But impressively it maintains a correct analysis if you move the word “not” around, so it’s not merely the presence of “not” that triggers the negativity.

I’m not sure how accurate it is yet, but it seems better than random chance.

The stats that I've seen were at my allergist's office, so unfortunately I don't have a link. I'll definitely look for one tho.

What you say is very interesting. Cucumber (like citrus) was also not something that people really had allergies to until recently (or possibly your third possibility kicks in here). Peanuts and gluten have skyrocketed recently too.

Maybe off topic, but I read an interesting theory regarding the use of GMOs to explain this. The logic went basically like this:

Plants were genetically modified to be resistant to herbicides -> farmers began spraying fields indiscriminately, knowing that the plants they cared about wouldn't die, but the weeds would, therefore producing bumper crops much more regularly -> This led to one of two possibilities: 1. the chemicals are being consumed in unsafe quantities by humans now when they eat those plants or 2. the mutations that hardened the plants changed their protein structure such that they are less digestible, which leads to intestinal damage, which promotes intestinal permeability, which leads to food allergies to foods not previously a problem.
Sure, there's plenty of work being done, except it's fueled by the founders' need to show investors that their money is being put to a good use, and hence not pull out. I've yet to see an actual business problem solved with a blockchain (other than helping optimists part with their money).

A lot of companies in tech hotbeds have a hire rate of 25 to 50% of the people who make it in person. It's not "hiring every warm body", but it's pretty damn close in my book, if you consider that resume screening and phone screens might as well be random considering how poorly it's done in the industry.

Yeah, the person who barely has the skill to pump gas probably won't make it (they probably have some bigger problems, too), but...

Compared to the post dotcom crash (where it was a buyer's market) where you could pick the best and brightest and make super teams, there's a stark contrast in 2018, and it shows in the quality of the products.
No, Blink does not work for Emacs.

This is a common misunderstanding: a serious Emacs setup will use multiple modifiers (in my case, I need at least Shift, Control, Meta/Alt and Super, preferably also Hyper). My Mac's command key is mapped to Super in my native Emacs. My Emacs as an IDE is basically unusable without the Super modifier.
As there is no way to get the additional modifiers through Blink, this is a non-starter. Additionally, the terminal is a bit too slow, and there are a number of other issues (for example, remapping CapsLock to Control kind of works, but there is a small delay, so you get missed keystrokes sometimes).

So, while I use and love Blink, it does not help with Emacs at all.

There’s much research on rewards and long term motivation. See Alfie Kohn’s Punished by Rewards and it’s 30+ pages of references including experiment descriptions.

Humans are not rats and birds, children are not pets to train, despite common parenting practices and school systems based on punishment and rewards.

Basically if you want a child to stop enjoying something, reward them for doing it (praise is also reward). Trains them to devalue the thing, to focus on the reward, and to stop doing the thing without a reward.

Similarly with punishment constant policing becomes necessary and the child stops being honest.

The human brain is designed to optimize for success.
I believe I understand your viewpoint. Here's further commentary on the US version of haggis - https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-21128089 - and Canadian - https://www.macleans.ca/culture/the-lung-debate-over-authent... .

I do not agree with your analogy. People do refer to "vegetarian hamburgers". For examples, https://www.yummly.com/recipe/Vegetarian-Hamburgers-626992?p... and https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g30196-d10434055... .

People also refer to vegetarian haggis - https://www.hendersonsofedinburgh.co.uk/food/vegan-haggis-an... and https://www.macsween.co.uk/products/delicious-every-day-vege... .

The Wikipedia page points out that "Some commercial haggis is largely made from pig, rather than sheep, offal" and points to http://www.ramsayofcarluke.co.uk/products/traditional-ball-h... which uses pig lungs instead of sheep lungs.

The Wikipedia page also references a 1615 recipe for haggis which does not require sheep lungs, saying "oat-meale mixed with blood, and the Liver of either Sheepe, Calfe or Swine, maketh that pudding which is called the Haggas or Haggus".

To me this sounds like the old gatekeeper question of who gets to assign authenticity. Since things called "haggis" are sold in Scotland (or at least the UK), and do not have sheep lungs, I think that means it is incorrect to say that just because a product sold in the US or Canada does not have sheep lungs in it, it cannot be called haggis.
Exactly.. short of the parent company of a hospital also owning a software company for the software this likely won't happen. Even then, software engineers RARELY get to interact with the people using said software for any meaningful time... It's usually meetings with your PM, Manager, their manager, and maybe the same on the other side. That's like 3-6 layers of separation in this telephone game.
10 years ago there was less file system integration, user land virus scanning, kernel level virus scanning, os-hooks, OS-compatibility re-direction, and 32/64bit compatibility checks.

This was mostly added during NT6.0 era, which occured ~12 years ago. VISTA was the first OS using NT6.0 and VISTA was VERY much not in vogue ~12 years ago. In fact it was avoided like a plague as of 2008 (unless you were using 64bit, and had >=4GiB of RAM)

So many were using Windows-XP 32bit, or the NT5.2 kernel. Even those with >=4GiB of RAM were on Windows-XP 64bit, as VISTA had a ton of driver problems.

NT6.0 didn't catch until Windows7 and NT6.1
Too few cases to made any real impact on statistics probably.

Another thing I like is that you can do simple statistical reckoning for it. For my job, I often have to benchmark something several hundred times with or without a patch applied. It can be bit difficult to put "on average x% faster" in context when the benchmark is noisy, but Guesstimate allows you to answer questions like "assuming somebody ran one run of this benchmark with the patch, and one run without it, what's the expected range of performance improvement that they'd see?" with the actual numbers that you get out of the benchmark:

+1 for S76 HW guts, but I find their laptop chassis to have been really flimsy in the past - where screws fell out and into the case of 3 laptops.

They were, in the past, using CLEO as an OEM....

They came out with that custom steel and wood case all made in the USA recently, but don't know if they are building their own laptop HW these days.
Thanks, time to surf youtube :)
It’s very loud but technically harmless, Barrow said.

A 12ga shotgun round, when fired, emits a sound of about 165 dB SPL, re 20 uPa.

That is more than enough to cause immediate and permanent damage to anyone close by who is not wearing hearing protection, so I’m calling BS on this claim.

This is not so much a prank or deterrent device as it is a very justified lawsuit waiting to happen. I’ve watched the assembly video and there’s no evidence of any baffles or other noise intensity reduction devices, so this sure looks like someone’s getting the full noise level whenever it goes off.
Interesting... I did a upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 to 18.10 at same time that I was playing Stellaris. Zero issues.
Can't talk for the person you're replying to, but in my case at least I worked for a LOT of companies (did consulting for a while, and switched jobs probably more than I should have had), AND so did my SO, so while it's anecdotal, it's a LOT of orgs, including some of the big names everyone have heard of, as well as some smaller ones, and my friends have the same experiences. It might just be insanely bad luck since that's not a significant sample, but it makes us think.
I'm left-handed and there are several techniques for writing left-handed with a fountain pen. They don't all involve twisting your writing hand into "some bizarre contortion".

I collect vintage fountain pens, mostly about a hundred years old with flexible nibs that allow for fancy copperplate calligraphy. These kinds of pens are very delicate and some of them are so sensitive that if you don't know what you're doing you can destroy them pretty easily. With a little bit of work and a little bit of practice I was able to learn to write with them the way they were intended.

If you had an interest in fountain pens, don't let something like this kill it. With a small amount of effort you can find a technique that works for you without being uncomfortable.
From what I gather in the GitHub repository, they implement their own L7 management, instead of using NGINX, Envoy, HAProxy, etc. IMO, this adds quite a bit of development cost with minimum benefit.

Kong has built on OpenResty (which is built on NGINX), Ambassador has been built on Envoy Proxy -- I think these projects will be able to sustain their velocity more so than projects that need to maintain their own L7 engine. Just watching the speed at which Envoy Proxy is adding stuff is kind of staggering; hard to imagine how another company could do the same on their own homegrown engine.
UI is art, art doesn't fit in such limited terms as native UI. Your personal preferences of liking the same UI style should not hold back the potential useability improvements that electron apps do infact have. Their presentation of content and organization of information is on point in ways existing applications didn't have, that's why they're popular.

Well, I think what we call "design" has two parts: one is "theming" concerns and is made up of things like colors, icons and cursor shapes (to give an incomplete list); the other is more functional and has to do with the logical structure of the various inputs and outputs in a UI. Generally speaking, I think the former concern should be totally under the user's control while the latter concern is what UX people and front-end devs should be doing.
I find Dr. Esselstyn's observations compelling - that the Mediterranean diet is really only a good diet because it is being compared to so many poor diets. In his analysis of many countries, it is oils in the diet which correspond to the cancers and heart disease which kill so many. Like so many other diets, I think we will look back at the Mediterranean diet and wonder how we could have been so foolish.

As to mandatory prison sentences, I'd be happy to see most of that changed, and for that matter most drugs decriminalized. I'm also not a fan of police militarization or the size of the military industrial complex in general.

So, it might be a good idea to not make assumptions about who you're talking to. I've worked in government adjacent roles and have friends who have as well. There is absolutely no way you can convince me that the government couldn't operate on less than half of what it does and be more effective doing it.
I would guess not, given that these days (At least in small quantities, which I assume scales) the choice of colour is aesthetic (To first order) rather than dictated economically.
LEGO Mindstorms has had a profound impact on my development in robotics from an early age. My mother was an IT teacher that used them to teach programming which gave me a unique opportunity to make whatever I wanted with the ten or so kits she had.

LEGO have a slogan of sorts, "Learning through play," which couldn't be more true with their Mindstorms kits.
That does not sound too good. I doubt that the weird laws allowed outright dangerous practice but you never know. I don't know your landlord (obvs!) but you are probably keener on your own well being than they are.

Just to re-iterate the point: it is not normal for your bathroom light to cause a USB (bus) to crash in another room.
A quick look in a hex-editor shows a familiar little-endian 16-bit PCM format, with 2352 byte chunks of data with 96 bytes of non-PCM data repeating - this is characteristic of raw Mode-2 CD digital audio with sub-channel data.

I think .MDF files started with the Alcohol 120% program and are typically the raw data from a CD/DVD, with the track information in a corresponding .MDS file.

Not sure of a free/open program to directly convert to a familiar format, so I made this C program:

#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
#define BLOCK_SIZE 2448
#define DATA_SIZE 2352
int main() {
char buf[BLOCK_SIZE];
ssize_t count;
while (1) {
count = read(0, buf, BLOCK_SIZE);
if (count > 0) {
write(1, buf, DATA_SIZE);
} else break;
}
return 0;
}

compile and converted to raw CDDA audio with:

cc -o convert convert.c
./convert < "Audio Disk.mdf" > out.cdda

Then use 'sox' (open source audio processing program) to convert CDDA to .wav :

sox -c 2 -b 16 -r 44100 --endian little out.cdda out.wav

I'm not sure if the track length information is recoverable.

Update: mdf2iso seems to work fine also to convert the .mdf to raw .cdda format: mdf2iso "Audio Disk.mdf" out.cdda

Very true. The most important thing you mentioned is this one IMO:

> even if they pay for them without realizing that

In health care, you have doctors, physician assistants, nurses, administrators, etc. They have very different background, schooling and certifications as well as salaries.

In software, you have some differences (individual contributors, tech leads, managers, etc), but it's not granular at all within the categories. While the self taught html dev is making 90-100k, the MIT graduate builting complex systems with 5 years of experience is making 150k (Using round numbers here, don't read too much into it), when the difference is significantly bigger.

People are quick to point out at flukes: there's totally exceptions, the CMU grad who can't code themselves out of paper bag, and the random highschool dropout who has been coding since they were 7 who are now world famous geniuses...but they're exceptions yet treated as the rule.
Building strings in C can be painful, but parsing them is not too bad. I suppose security is another big concern, especially with something built explicitly to process user-supplied data.
