> Parties seem to have a tendency to wheel out old candidates

Parties don't wheel out candidates, candidates seek the party nomination. Candidates who have done so in the past and whose on-paper qualifications and public esteem have increased since then often remain inclined to do so and have a basis for expecting they might do better.

Many party voters are also inclined to vote for these candidates; some of these are long time supporters.

I'm more surprised that candidates whose resume includes only some local politics, a few terms in the House, and a failed Senate bid throw their hat in to the Presidential ring than that those that spent 36 years in the Senate and run for President twice before, serving for eight years as Vice President after his most recent Presidential run, do so.

But I like eggs damnit.

Edit 1. My comment was made on a submission, which I did not think would gain much notice. Oops. Low quality comment to the fore!

Edit 2. Really though, I eat a couple of eggs a day. I should scale it back anyway, as a hedge, and eat non-traditional (In USA) breakfasts, like rice and beans.
On principle alone I wouldn't give them my money ever again. I'd engineer my own lightweight solution before then or use an underdog competitor. I have a sour taste in my mouth for their meteoric rise to success/IPO versus their pathetic investments (or lack therof) in product improvement. It really sucks to use. Reminds me of Engineyard (also abandonware).
I don't disagree that this is the case, the point I was trying to make is that keeping animals like this is not optimal.
but what about multiple Trojans at once, that each download a piece of more intrusive code, but it only starts up once all the pieces are available on the same network?

Looking from the outside in, serious mathematics seems to require a ton of memorization. I really don't know how they keep all the names of everything straight, and what they mean, and how they relate to one another, and so on. That's all memory. There also seems to be an awful lot of drilled pattern recognition (as in you've gotta have the pattern and what it means when you see it memorized) in both the reading and writing of proofs.

From where I sit the mountains between me and deep mathematical understanding sure look like they're mostly memorization and drilling until various identities and mechanical operations are second-nature. Some of those peaks are surely "ah ha" moments or creative thinking or whatever but... not most of it. Maybe on the far side, but I can't even see that far. And damn is that far side ever removed from what 99% of people need math for. Not the way a literature class might be, but the way a Latin or Attic Greek language class might be. It's that far off and round-about and well into diminishing-returns territory.
I just want to point out the lost art of doing this with .rar files.

Multipart rar files are not actually compressed so I heard and if you get the file headers and download them in order then you can stream a video

Torrents and the associated scene frequently still pack things as multipart rar files. (a holdover from even more inferior methods of transporting large files)

Learn How to Crush Affliate Marketing
Abandoned and Little-Known Airfields
Pop has become increasingly unaffordable. It's really not unusual to see headline acts charging well over $100 for seats, and multi-day festival prices are regularly $200 and up.

In fact classical consistently appeals to older listeners. The median age at most concerts will be the far side of 50.

For a certain kind of music lover, pop starts to sound boring and samey after a few decades. Classical scratches that itch.

Orchestras and opera companies regularly worry about this, but in fact the supply of new listeners tends to be fairly stable.

The biggest marketing change was the extra push given to classical from around the 1920s to the 1970s. There was huge state and network support for classical music, and a lot of effort went into bringing both live and radio performances to US audiences - partly for noble reasons, partly so agents and networks could make money by marketing the work of performers and conductors.

From the 1970s the nature of funding changed. Sponsorship became corporate, and then the corporates cut it because they got a better return from sport and straight advertising. So a lot of the old support disappeared in the late 80s and 90s. The orchestras and opera houses that survived are more or less stable now, but it's a smaller market niche than it used to be.
I would like to add a point of caution to this advice, with regards to making your boss succeed, the OP mentioned it already but make sure you WANT your boss to succeed.

In my experience, the harder you work for your boss , the more they will extract out of you. E.g you suddenly have 10x tasks assigned to you.

So make sure you don't get burned by doing this and NOT getting a raise after. Most bosses will simply take more and not give much back.

I guess the essence of it is that you should work smart, figure out what are the most important tasks that your boss needs and complete them really well, but don't naively burn yourself
The best water storage solution would be to repair damaged agricultural soil, which propagates further erosion and runoff. On top of that, conventional farming drains fields of water, diverting rainfall off the fields in ditches. Then, in the drier months they tap reservoirs (to irrigate). It’s a totally bonkers way of doing things.
Even though I know how it works, and why it works, I'm still kind of surprised that individual DNS records have individual TTLs. It feels unfamiliar/alien, compared to all the other hierarchy-of-caches systems I work with.

Every intuition I have about caching would lead me to imagine an alternative implementation of DNS where zones are documents, and intermediate resolvers retrieve and cache entire zone documents from their canonical hosts, in order to respond to queries for individual records from stub resolvers.

Is there some big use-case for the DNS records within a zone to have different TTLs? Would it really be so inefficient if the zone as a whole just had one TTL, which was set as the minimum of the TTLs required by any of its records?

Does DNS not have spacial locality to its access patterns? I.e., if an intermediate resolver retrieves the A records for a domain, does that not imply that it'll soon also want the MX records for that domain, and the TXT SPF records, and—essentially—all the records with some probability? Is there no justification for pre-fetching these?

And, if both of those statements were to be true—that DNS could get by just fine with one TTL per zone, and that DNS queries do have a spacially-local access pattern—then why would you want to design DNS in a way where intermediate resolvers retrieve individual records, rather than entire zone documents? Would a modern ground-up DNS architecture do things this way?

(I have the suspicion that the answer lies in security-through-obscurity, vis. the reason AXFRs are prohibited. So, as an addendum: I ask the same questions as above, but this time presuming your DNS daemon has Row-Based Access Control (RBAC), such that an intermediate resolver retrieving a zone document would only see the records its upstream resolver thinks that particular client should be allowed to see—e.g. enterprise Intranet clients get everything, while public Internet clients get a trimmed view. This implies secure DNS, but just take that as a given.)
I was disagreeing with the stated use of the law that the OP claimed. I was saying that I am pretty sure all developed countries have laws that already serve the stated purpose, thereby negating the need for this.

I did some quick searching and found this:
https://www.dw.com/en/german-authorities-target-illegal-file...

That shows that Germany can already prosecute nefarious sites which may even have legitimate purposes (i.e. "file sharing") but are used predominantly for illegal purposes. Thus, the need for this saw seems suspect.
Thank you :)

I am considering doing a series of blog posts, I don't know how often I could write them or if I could keep them going, but I will try.
I'm not big in social media and I have never written any posts or anything like before this one, which is weird, I'll admit it, so all this is kind of new, but I think I'll give it go.

Old systems used line-buffers like the Neo Geo or no buffers like the NES, for example.
So yeah, going with a frame-buffered approach was definitely easier, but this was not the only reason I chose this way.
I had a lot of restrictions, I was learning a lot of stuff, I didn't know how to work with FPGAs and I stuck with DIP package ICs that I could put on breadboards and experiment. And that's why I picked the AVR microcontrollers, which are awesome but have their disavantages. They have good performance (20Mhz), but not many pins and I had to bit-bang things like external RAM access (actually the PPU accesses 3 RAMs with only 32 IO pins available), which meant that it takes "some time" to access external memory.
That's why I chose 2 microcontrollers for video instead of just one, one of them could take "all the time in the world" (one frame) to fetch information and write a frame to the frame buffer while the other would generate the video signal and dump the a frame to the TV. Connecting the two, I felt a double buffer was better.

I definitely would have preferred doing a more "traditional" non-buffered render system, but this was the solution I found with what I had to work with.

I hope serves as a good explanation and maybe I'll get to explain these details better in another post :).
This will be an interesting conversation (tech savvy vs tech dumb) to play out this round.

The current president argued during his campaign that the problems with the country arose from "bad deals" and his experience and expertise at "deal making" was the solution to this problem.

Beto might argue during his campaign that the problems with the country arise from unacknowledged cyber warfare in both social media and voting systems. He could then argue that he is uniquely qualified to lead the government to a more solid footing in that regard and protect the democracy.

Both are simplistic arguments of the form problem is X, I'm an expert in X, I can lead a group to fix X.

Opponents will of course spin up the fear of X and especially if X can be used to achieve the goals of the proponent, try to paint them as being part of the problem not the solution.

Unlike the current administrations "Space" force, I could see a justification for a "Cyber" force if such a force provided protection against, and options for maneuver in an algorithmically generated battlefield.

As someone in the hemp business, I have a relatively unique reason. There's no hemp (CBD, non-psychoactive) program in Oregon. You can do cannabis in California but not CBD. I moved everything to Oregon.

It's funny that the cannabis industry in California is actually trying to slow down any regulation allowing THC-free, hemp derived products.

I have a similar approach, just different languages.

Java and .NET platforms, with C++ only when really required.

So for me, and the people I work with, whatever alternative comes to replace C++, needs to fit into the same workflow and IDE mixed language development tooling that others are already comfortable using.

And I do advocate both ways, managed languages getting features that reduce the need to reach for C++, safer C++ replacements that might eventually succeed long term (C++ took 25 years to reach where it is now), and exactly because C++, or even C, isn't going away tomorrow, ways to improve existing code quality.

Because the ultimate goal is to improve our IT stack, and not celebrate yet another Morris Worm birthday.

Some farms have to pay to dispose of manure. Removing any urine from the equation may decrease those costs. Farms are also about creating as many products as possible. There may actually be a market for urine. There certainly was historically.

Liquidity for one.

Conditions for an IPO are rarely perfect - you need to have the right internal situation, the right market conditions etc. etc. - so if the company is thinking of doing an IPO, and they can ... well then they're going to lean towards doing it.

VC's can cash out if they want and pass the buck.

That said, if they only have some major 'one time cost' dragging down earnings, and earnings will be spectacularly better next year ... it might be worth the wait. But even then - if the IPO suffers a little, but then rockstar numbers come out later, the stock will go up. So VC's that want to hold on have the option to do that.
Might you have some good resources you could share then on DP strategies and problem solving? Cheers.
Of course it is, but one has to have some sort of agreed frame with other discussants. Suppose we were discussing suicide cults and the question arose of why people join them; that's well worth discussing, and even debating if there are conflicting views, but discussions of how cults recruit people should be easily distinguishable from actual attempts at recruitment.
So change the word blackmail to lobbying and now it's perfectly legal.
I do not know if anger helps you fight your circhmstanced or is just detrimental?

I think that depends on how you react to that anger. Generally there is a core need that is underlying that anger. Once that core need is identified, it may be that the anger turns into a different emotion, and will also start to provide avenues for dealing with that need.

Eg. if the anger is related to failing at exams, on reflection it may be that you determine that this is affecting you because it may affect your future career prospects, ie your need is to secure your financial future. Or perhaps it is due to another need. The underlying emotion would then be perhaps fear or anxiousness (or it may be something else). Anger is the unrealized version of this emotion. Once you have identified the underlying needs and emotions, that will start you on the path to fulfilling those needs.

I run a service that integrates with pager duty on behalf of our users, and man oh man did they make some poor design choices with their API.

The most glaring one is their integration keys, which is how you trigger an alert. They’re just v4 uuids with the hyphens removed, or in other words, completely random.

This is fine by itself, except they have two versions of their event API, and keys for the v1 API don’t work with v2 and vice versa. And there’s no way to distinguish what version a given key is for, since it’s just a jumble of bytes. We can’t even look up the service integration to find out what version it should be. We can using yet another different API, but even then it’s not clearly distinguished.

So now our users are confused about what version they should use. We only supported v1 for a while since there was no way to distinguish, but users kept using v2, which was failing cryptically.

So now we need to try v1, and if it fails try v2. But that means that our monitoring on errors are all fucky now since half the errors arent real errors.

In the grand scheme of things I guess it’s a relatively small design issue, but it sitting right in the middle of their one and only critical path, which makes it really painful.

I’ve alrwady contacted support about it and their response has been, more or less, “oh, uhhh... huh.”

>I don't think we're that far away from outlawing human driven cars. There are probably tons of people in government and law enforcement who would be all for it.

It will be a great day when human drivers are banned. Humans can't handle driving, and they cause 40,000 deaths per year in the US alone. Computers will be able to do this far better.

But your analogy isn't very good. Assuming we have driverless cars in the future that really are extremely reliable and safe, then I don't see what argument you can possibly make to allow human drivers, other than "I like driving". The interest of public safety clearly overrules your interest in being in control of your own car like in the "old days", just like the interest in public safety prevents you from flying your private airplane in controlled airspace without proper radio equipment, transponder, ATC clearance, etc.

However, all kinds of valid arguments can be made against a DRM-laden internet with devices you don't control. There's tons of things people simply wouldn't be able to do (such as write their own software) in such a world. The actual harm caused by the present state of things really isn't very much, if anything (can it be quantified?), the proposed solution doesn't really seem like it'll fix the supposed problems (they had drugs and stuff before the internet after all), and the proposed solution would impose giant costs on society. By contrast, driverless cars (at least the hypothetical ones assumed above) would fix a big problem, and would have very few downsides I can see.

Yes and no. At the trial, the prosecution is not going to need to pull a fresh copy off of YouTube to present as evidence. That is, yes, it's evidence and will be used as such. No, its continued availability on YouTube is not related to it being evidence.

It's not really a psychological question. Boeing had no option to change the name and meet the requests of its customers.

The FAA says you have to have a B-737 rating to fly any 737, regardless of revision [1]. The MAX series is the maximum number of changes the FAA would permit and still allow it to be called a 737. In theory, someone who is type rated and familiar with the -100 series should be able to safely operate the MAX 8.

Most likely the airlines have rules above and beyond that (like requiring sim or right seat time in a particular revision), but this is the motivation behind the aircraft. If they had made a 738, it would have needed to go through certification as if it were a new design. By making it a revision, the certification process is significantly reduced in both time and costs.
