I created a small app to read the Epicor ERP api from freepascal. Fast and simple. Did it as much to refresh my pascal knowledge as to show others that it should not be ignored as a language. As a language is very rich and more cross platform than most others. Lazarus is a cinch to create a GUI that you can then cross compile for other platforms.

I always feel like management gets stuff like this from a list called "How to get more out of your employees without spending a dime". It reminds me of being in grade school where they only have so many options for trying to motivate students.
No joke though. If you are in the Portage Park area in Chicago Bistro 6050 is great. I usually get the empanadas there and they never disappoint.
Ship It: How Agile Product Managers Can Build Better Products (eBook) [pdf]
Europeans aren't inherently better: if Facebook and Google were companies founded in Germany or France who knows if GDPR would exist.

The Data Protection Directive, which the GDPR merely extends and updates, is older than Google and almost as old as the web itself, and was an attempt to unify even older national laws regarding personal data. It's not a reaction to having "lost" the privacy-eroding race.
Atlis announces plans for XT electric pickup with 500 miles of range
Serious question how many other corporations spent billions of dollars for over a decade on a technology that people still aren't very confident will work like Google has been doing with self driving cars? I know utilities and aircraft manufacturers have made bigger investments but with much surer returns.
Consider that killing a living thing to eat its body is not unique to "meat", nor is raising it in a controlled environment for the purpose of consumption. Fish (as is sometimes classified separately) and vegetables are living things raised and killed for consumption of their bodies as well.

I believe reconciling all of these as ethically equal (including raising the ethical weight of killing a plant as equal to an animal) is important for sanely dealing with our natural ecosystem of food. The "aliveness" of plants is continually researched and shown in a positive light, and it's hard to draw a clear and reasonable line between "life that is acceptable to eat" and "life that is not acceptable to eat".

When you look at the spectrum of life and how ethically impactful killing it for food is, it tends to follow anthropomorphism and social compatibility with humans, which doesn't seem objective enough to be pursued for widely-accepted ethics, but merely for local cultural acceptability.

What I've been mostly focusing on is product market fit and growth.

I think I have the product market fit down but the growth aspect is what's challenging me right now.

I don't want to just buy growth now as I'm not convinced (yet) that our user base will actually pay.

Additionally, I have to figure out a way to get a steady supply of new users through some growth channel and that's the area where I'm still lagging.
Which brings an unrelated point of how much understanding a typical university professor has for the idea that their course may not be the be-all-and-end-all of student's life. Making an unavailable book a requirement for a course? Ahh how much I don't miss those days of being at the mercy of every university prof or bureaucrat's whims :-)
Very few companies are looking for functional developers.

But I'd argue it will make you a more skilled developer.
I’m motivated by cash money. But having worked exclusively at employers who did not recognize employee performance at all, I’d be interested in seeing how something like this worked. Even if I didn’t get the award I think it would be interesting to know who my employer considers to be top performers and why. Of course the main risk is this becomes a piece of political fluffery. But even knowing who’s winning the politics game could be interesting. Could be a great way to foster leadership and learning opportunities.
Unless you can argue that the cows don't mind anything about the way they're treated (including slaughter), then there's reason to feel guilty. If you can live without that (and you can, vegetarians exist), then there's reason to feel guilty about not doing so.
Not if you care what classes you take. Lots (most?) of the higher level year 3/4 courses are not taught in the summer in my experience (three different unis and i did my masters course work year round). You can pick up the more generic courses or a breadth requirement though.

But privacy is relevant here. Easy example: a person whispering,their private conversation no loses it's privacy due to lip movements being read. Two people enter a room and exchange an item for cash,with radar their transaction loses privacy.
The difference is at the heart:

Amazon is really a software company.

Sears was not.

Software is eating the world.
In this case it certainly looses from straight up beans or lentils. It will straight up win from a regular burger though.

Talking health here. Nothing to back it up, just common sense about cholesterol and different fats.
I don't think there's a too late in most cases....the recovery just takes longer. Like, took me 4-6 months to get back to pain free.

One final tip: in my experience, things that work show progress fairly quickly. Like, 1-2 attempts. They won't cure it that quick, but you'll usually notice some sort of positive sign.

I say this because there are all manner of treatments that don't really do anything or may not do anything for your particular case. People can end up doing 5-10 sessions of something to no avail and at considerable cost.
I think this is an interesting case. The force response here is a bit different than in non-war-zones but it's still a useful anecdote.

Lasers will probably be part of the solution at some point but it's worth noting some of the drawbacks. You need the target to be above the horizon for safety obviously, so that means you need to be fairly close to it in a semi-urban environment which negates some of the nice range advantages. The other big one is any shiny flat parts of the drone could potentially reflect energy back to the ground briefly, resulting in possible eye damage to anyone within line of sight. The laser would likely be infrared so any aluminum, even unpolished, could become an effective reflector. This could be particularly problematic as people tend to instinctively look at things that burst into bright balls of flame...
Because for some, tools like awk, sed and perhaps grep are unknown skills.

The focus is on pumping out Java or C++ folks who never were given assignments using said tools and therefore never knew or learned them. Python is the new Perl, not sure what the new awk is.
You can certainly use real numbers. You just have to pick the finite subset of them that you need for a given problem and an appropriate encoding for them.
When it comes to the controls, etc it always wraps them, but the exposed API is based on VCL which has several Windows-isms and those Windows-isms are replicated to other widgetsets. One example would be the reliance of several controls (like toolbars, lists, trees, etc) to image lists (which is basically a Windows Common Controls thing that is used in Delphi - Lazarus just keeps the API but reimplements those common controls). On a lower layer, LCL widgetsets implements several Windows API functions (often accessed via the LCLIntf unit or the widgetset itself as methods). As an example this file reimplements several of Windows API functions in Gtk2:

https://github.com/graemeg/lazarus/blob/upstream/lcl/interfa...

Note that all widgetsets implement these methods, even the Win32 one (which instead of reimplementing it just forwards the calls to the real Windows API).

No, but your options are limited to Java and embedded shops. You absolutely ought to understand functional programming to develop .Net- or Javascript-based applications.
For me, I was able to reduce the calls from lambda pretty significantly by doing the parameter pull step outside of the handler, so it is available as part of the execution context between runs (similar to how many people do DB connection with lambda). I still do the decrypt step within the handler though because I don't like the idea of having decrypted values lying around, but the limit for KMS decrypt operations is independent of SSM, and is a 10k/s shared limit in the regions I use, so I haven't had any issues yet.
It looks like they are engineering one of those glass enclosed elevators, common in shopping malls, not a computer. Why the focus on outward appearance without explaining its capabilities?
Investors are gonna invest, right? They're there to make money. Presumably they believe the company's operations are legal and likely to provide returns.
The link I sourced [1] answers this better than I can. Please give it a read. Although in conjungtion I would note that hardly any university-educated students would wish to live below 50k AUD (~35K USD) forever. I'm not sure that avoiding such a relatively small payment each year would be worth stunting your earnings growth. It could be possible, but I don't see why anyone would shoot themselves in the foot like this.

I understand your problem with the first benefit I have listed. Here are a few things to consider though:

1. Should a student be penalised for not making the best degree choice (most doing so at the age of 18 or so)?

2. Even if the degree choice is perfect for them (in a potentially risky profession), should one not be allowed to give it a go?

3. In university you see many students who have graduated, started working, decided they hated their profession, and then subsequently returned to university to reskill. Rising debt interest would have prevented many of these students from taking the new risk of changing industries. The threshold allows people to re-enter education without being drowned by their payments for the duration fo their degrees.

I agree with you that the arts are an important part of society. However, I don't believe that, given the chance, absolutely everyone would pursue them fully. I believe those who do embark on the potentially risky career of the arts should be allowed and supported to do so, as well as being able to change career paths if they so need.

I agree, which is why I asked for an example of where they felt dismissed or ignored so we could understand and learn from it.
You should really give them a shot before entirely dismissing them out of hand. Admittedly my opinion is less informed, being a vegetarian, but I love them. My wife loves them too though, and her favorite food is steak.
I'm disappointed they switched away from seitan / gluten protein to soy protein. I just like wheat protein better, it feels better to me. But there's tremendous--and unfounded--pressure to eliminate gluten. Sad.
> But then such schools that predominantly work on ISAs, will pre-select for good students, who are most likely to succeed and also for industries where the compensation is higher.

That actually sounds like a good incentive structure to me. Most people shouldn't study something that will not give them some advantage (which these schools would select for).

If you struggle to make ends meet it wouldn't be a reasonable decision to study something unprofitable in the first place. I wish it was different and everybody could invest an infinite amount of time to learn what they are interested in, but in a resource constrained reality that's not possible and individuals have to make decisions that are advantageous for them.
Same height, used to have similar weight. I can vouch for this.

Given the amount of studies/reports coming out talking about how bad screen time is for people, and how insane the amount of screen time we all log is - I foresee a big resurgence in anything "analog".

Actually, variable names should largely /not/ be lost - Python is insanely dynamic and needs variable/function/etc. names to remain.

At most you might lose the names of local variables inside a function (i.e. variables that, due to internal scope, have a limited lifespan), but member variables, global variables, function names, class names, method names, etc. would all need to be kept in the bytecode.
Yeah totally. I have a friend who mostly works with the IT in big banks and pretty recently he told me he had to explain what "Git" was to a more senior eng. That was shocking to me but then again maybe I'm too steeped in webdev.
Landau had a similar formulation but about symmetries - what isn’t forbidden is permitted.
> How about we start with not allowing people to legally kidnap individuals?

Then you'd have to give up being able to afford bail; without bounty hunters, bondsman would have no recourse when you didn't show up to court and thus not much incentive to loan you bail money. You're not being legally kidnapped, you agreed to those terms when you borrowed the bond money for bail.

Like a lot of well-meaning advice, this did not work for me. Getting up at 5am or 6am for a few weeks just means I feel tired all the time for a few weeks, and it just takes me a couple days to (gratefully) revert back to the night-owl schedule my body wants to keep.

The scientific evidence keeps showing that there are many people who are more alert at night, but of course morning people and morning converts seem to think that since waking up early works fine for them it must work fine for everyone.
Me too. The solution is to live close to work/easy transportation..
At a broad enough definition of pain, that is very hard. Many of our farm animals have strong family ties. In order to kill them you have to sever them ties. That hurts. If you see intellegent mammals being reunited after some time apart you will know they reeeeaaly love each other, much like we humans do.
Tiger Direct did the same. They had a brick & mortar in the Western Chicago Suburbs - Naperville or Aurora, I think. Never stepped foot in there, despite being a easy weekend drive from them. Everything I ever bought from them was online.
In case I wasn't clear, I want to read blogs, not random users comments.
"A flower is a weed with a marketing budget."
I've always been a side sleeper. (6"2, 175 pound, early 30s male).

Due to a random medical issue (which has since become much more manageable), I got bad chest pain from sleeping on my side.

Despite this, I absolutely couldn't get a good nights sleep on my back, despite months of having to to. I end up being awake until I fall asleep from exhaustion and then waking up again after a few hours. It caused a lot of other problems as I was only getting between 3-6 hours sleep for weeks.

Months later when my condition improved, I went back to side sleeping, and even when it was still causing me pain, I slept much, much better.

Just an anecdote and I'm sure people are unique for things like sleep, but my own personal experience is that it isn't easy to switch.

That said, I actually like a hard mattress despite being a side sleeper.
The Lisp expression is a nice sideways tree, where we immediately see that three conditions are joined by and. When I look at it, I see this:

and --.-- not (is-blocked door)
:-- < (height player) (height door)
`-- or --.---(is-unlocked door)
`--(has-key player door)

The other one looks like a bit of a lorem ipsum paragraph to me.
Its funnt how people will not want to use Pascal of any flavor because its perceived as old/obsolete and yet the same people have no problem firing up AWK to solve a text processing problem.

LAzarus provides a great way to address the perception. Fast, free, rich language underneath. Im about to start using in my hobby IOT stuff, but as other posters have pointed out, it works great for Enterprise level stuff as well. Single exe executable is, in my books, a huge advantage.

FTR have started looking at nim as well which seems so far to be bit of a pascal 'reborn' and it also compiles down to single executable. I recommend people look at both if you are needing to distrbute software without the normal installer drama.

Bottom line i believe there is no software silver bullet. Each language has pros and cons and the biggest challenge these days is choosing the appropriate one to use.
The GDPR doesn't apply to most of the world, it's awful legislation anyway. It's not your data, it's my data about you, I own it, it's in my databases, and if you don't want me to have it, you shouldn't have given it to me freely to begin with.
May seem like I'm shitting on your product, but I'm not. I do a good amount of hiring[0] and have had to use services that provide similar outcomes[1]. It's mostly a waste of time and am currently working on removing that part of the process. My main issue with your product is that I don't see how it would provide me with a better outcome than what's out there.

I want to like it enough to try it out and pay you, but dont see value proposition right now.

On the positive side, some people do drink to forget.
>The vast majority of bounty hunting cases are going to the addict/drunk’s door and reminding him he’s got a hearing to be at. The kind of glorifications you see on the teevee are virtually nonexistent.

I somehow doubt that's what they make the money on because they make money on bail skippers usually a percentage of the set bail.

In any case if you need someone to appear in court there is something we call a police force which should be used.
ITER project manager said 1gr of H nuclear power is 8Tons of fossil fuel. That's a game changer of cosmic (literally) proportions.
I think this is probably good advise in most cases, but there are rare occasions where the process is legitimately novel and fun to hear about. I'm having trouble thinking of examples right now, but what comes to mind are situations where the speaker discovered something, and it was fun to hear about that discovery.

I of course have no clue how to tell if your process story is actually good.
Uber wins through three things.

one, the convenience of the app model.

two, subsidizing rides to flood the market with drivers.

three, offloading risks like employment law and fleet management onto drivers.

None of the stuff you said about traffic routing is currently true nor is it likely to be relevant. Taxi and Uber drivers do the same thing -- show up where and when there are predictable flows of people. They do this using human intelligence. It is unlikely that all the crazy big data analytics is going to do significantly better than this.

Occasionally they work off hours and pick up a few people that need rides.

That's it.
> that doesn't really mean anything in practice, unless you want to try to survive on just a couple of impossible burgers per day

You're not wrong, but I think you're taking a very narrow view here. There are situations when having a good source of complete protein is important. E.g. you're working out and you need to increase the muscular mass. In that case, you better make sure your main source of protein is indeed complete.

The real world is annoyingly diverse sometimes.

That sounds like a really fascinating course to take, and I'm tempted to apply just to see how I fare. The cost is a bit out of my reach if I'm being honest. I do make very good money but I also spend good on two children, rent in California, etc. Thank you for sharing this with me.

For every person in a comparable spot to Sam Harris, there are many who keep their mouth shut for fear of losing their job.

But it's not violence or discrimination by the law, so not only is it OK, but they shouldn't even complain about it.
I did the same thing and it didn't work for me. Curious how some people are different.
If we're talking about the GDPR, the service can ask you to sell your data, and it can charge you, but it can't force you to choose between the two. Data ain't currency.
Animal cruelty laws also police an active precursor behavior that might easily turn into human cruelty, which is a justification that really has nothing to do with the animals themselves.
The Real Meaning of Trump’s Withdrawal from Syria
Ask HN: What uses will crypto currency continue to see?
I think it's pretty clear that there has been zero major adoption that we define here as significant.

However, now my opinion is leaning towards that certain markets will continue to thrive and that anonymity focused crypto currencies will certainly be in use.

For instance, drugs, gambling, anything of that nature anonymous cryptocurrency I believe will survive.

What do you think about this argument? I don't think we will see public ICO but I see some sort of dark venture capitalism.

ex. you are a drug manufacturer but need seed capital

As long as there are people trading something for a medium which allows cash liquidation, even if it's unstable and open to attacks as well as centralization via miners.

Am I correct? I used to believe crypto currencies were largely garbage but I do see it's continued usage, it's just that its nowhere as near going to anywhere like we've seen up to 2018 but I believe markets which benefit greatly from a non-fiat based online wallet and ledger.
I would posit that enough adults drink often enough that society is generally structured to allow people to function with whatever impairment occasional drinking creates, since that would be the baseline capability for the average person.

That doesn't mean you couldn't benefit from doing better than that, though.
Computer equipment can be used to run simulations for nuclear weapons (in fact, this is how nuclear weapons have been tested for decades.. and why we don't detonate them any more), and therefore is prohibited under the UN sanctions.

Additionally, the UN sanctions also prohibit banking services for prohibited items.

This is what Meng is accused of: attempting to transfer HP computers to Iran, and using the US financial system to do it. Both of these activities are prohibited by the UN sanctions.

Please reread the UN resolutions if you're unsure of this.

Edit: The bank fraud part is a US law, not under the UN sanctions.. But still that just means she committed bank fraud under US law in addition to breaking the sanctions.
Kenmore appliances and Craftsman tools.
Maybe the appliance quality suffered recently. I don't know because our 30 year old washer and dryer still work. Appliances were also built to be repaired, and there was a full catalog of parts you could order through Sears.
Craftsman tools were near-professional quality. I'm sure lots of "pros" actually had some in their toolboxes.

I see the Craftsman brand has been controlled by Stanley Black & Decker for almost 2 years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craftsman_(tools)

Kenmore is controlled by a subsidiary of Sears...wonder what will happen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenmore_(brand)
