You have different goals in life than other people.

Please try to be aware that the path you've chosen is not the only right one. Some people have different goals.

Some people even have the cognitive ability to regard the goal of fulfillment in life and creativity as more important than the run-of-the-mill goal of survival that most people are seemingly satisfied with reaching towards.

Is flashing the BIOS and reformatting the machine sufficient to remove any virus that we know of currently? Or are there other hidden components that need to be cleared?
You can't indict anybody for collusion, since it's not a crime.

What is a crime is, for example, conspiracy to hack DNC computers - for which several people, mostly Russians, were already indicted. Another example would be conspiracy to "impair, obstruct, or defeat the lawful function of any department of government", which is what the Internet Research Agency was indicted for.
I’d add that if you are ok with remote and the company is doing something interesting: hiring (or training) isn’t that problematic, you will actually get access to very talented & motivated people because of Clojure

If you require people to be co-located Berlin has a very strong Clojure community for example, depends on where you are though.

Google AI Blog: An All-Neural On-Device Speech Recognizer
Years ago, and in a town that isn't Portland, I met a street dude with a similar story, including a broken finger supposedly incurred during the assault. His story seemed a little too "just-so", so I didn't stick around, nor give him any money.

Talking later with a local from that town, it turns out dude has been running that line for years, and regularly re-breaks the finger to give it that little touch of verisimilitude.
No I am referring to building an application
None of the people were convicted on charges related to Russian collusion. Many people convicted/plead guilty to process crimes, for example, lying to the FBI.

I won't accuse of you of trying to mislead people, but the judge apologized for making the treason claim against Flynn:

How is covering one of the biggest scandals in modern American politics malpractice?

Obama never had anything similar in scope over 8 years.
It is bizarre when an opinion piece on the death of the American news media, makes the same mistakes as the news media i.e. blending facts and opinion as one and treating editorials as news. For E.g.

“There will be people protesting: the Mueller report doesn’t prove anything! What about the 37 indictments? The convictions? The Trump tower revelations? The lies! The meeting with Don, Jr.? The financial matters! There’s an ongoing grand jury investigation, and possible sealed indictments, and the House will still investigate, and…

Stop. Just stop. Any journalist who goes there is making it worse.”

This is actually factually wrong. It is persuasive but wrong because while Mueller isn’t pursuing more prosecutions, he has referred people on for more prosecutions and investigations.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/22/us/politics/mueller-repor...

Also no one is actually saying that the mueller report doesn’t prove anything, because no one has read it yet. And that position is a rhetorical flourish that makes no sense given that all of the indictments, prosecutorial referrals etc were done by Mueller.

The next few sentences aren’t true either;

“The biggest thing this affair has uncovered so far is Donald Trump paying off a porn star. That’s a hell of a long way from what this business was supposedly about at the beginning, and shame on any reporter who tries to pretend this isn’t so.“

First of all, he plead guilty to charges by the SDNY. AFAICT, The WSJ broke the story, Common Cause then filed a lawsuit followed by Stormy Daniels, and then the FBI raid happened. So this claim is actually inaccurate.

He has a point to make and he is willing to throw facts into the blender to make it. He is also a part of what’s wrong with the media and seems to be unable to recognize that.

I suppose you're right, however there are much less interesting stops between PDX and LV. So if you're say, hitchhiking, the chances of finding someone going your direction might be better than someone traveling on the East Coast. On the other hand, the overall population on the Western half of the states is nearly logarithmic of the Eastern side.

youtube-dl already violates the ToS, of pretty much any service it supports. But I doubt it'll ever make up a noticeable amount of traffic and it's certainly very useful, so my personal bet is tools like this will mostly continue to work unless they somehow become a threat to services in some way.
To your first point, it's easy to fall into a perjury trap. Noone in the campaign was indicted for conspiracy, they were indicted for lying.

Planning to build a hotel in a country is not a crime, even if it's Russia. It's smoke in the scheme of things, but if he's not guilty, then it's perfectly okay. Meeting with a Russian ambassador is not a crime, setting up a backchannel is not a crime. Many campaigns have done so in the past, again smoke, no fire.

All the things you list would be normal to do had there been no investigation or Russia meddling in the first place. If Trump would have known the Russia thing would have blown up how it did, I'm sure he would have strayed as far as way from Russia as possible.

> They are cheaper to build than traditional style buildings, by an order of magnitude.

Are they? According to [1,2 (especially last post)] (better sources welcome) traditional style is cheaper, and according to [3], there's bias against traditional architecture.

Besides, it's the "window dressing", that architects supposedly have power over, that's the ugliest part of modern architecture.

Edit: As seen in https://www.city-journal.org/html/can-we-still-build-real-ar..., 'traditional' architecture is rarely more complicated than a simple rectangular cuboid - it's the 'window dressing' that gives it charm.

I feel it's impossible to participate in a balanced discussion with the C word comes up on hacker news and elsewhere online (China). I was going to reply to a couple comments but retrained myself because I feel like there's no point arguing with a shill or what feels like organized, state funded astro turfing.

I do NOT advocate the US getting into this game tit/tat through manipulating/commenting on US based media but I wonder what other technical solutions there are to counter what feels like a massive communications operation to shift all digital discussions concerning China; without throwing the baby out with the bathwater

This thread - like every other which involves China - is rife with straw man arguments and a lot of 'so what' false equivalencies.

As someone who deals with this every day in Seattle, the core issue is that the US doesn't have a cheap and effective healthcare system that can deal with addiction and mental healthcare issues.

So cities are forced to try and patch holes where they can. But the reality is that without coordination at the federal level there's little chance of success.

It's a national problem that requires a national solution, but our response is only at local levels.

I think my interpretation of the thread was that anger towards people with money just for having money was legitimate. If your thought is that those people are actively retarding the ability of the poor to improve their situation, then I think you have some ground to stand on, but otherwise I don't think it is reasonable. I think it's ok to wish things were different; I think it's ok to be angry at a system; I think it's ok to be angry at people who have personally done you wrong; but I don't think it's ok to be angry at people who haven't personally done you wrong just because they have something you don't. I actually happen to fall into one of those minority groups that you mentioned, and I don't hate the other people that can do things that I can't; I hate the system and the people perpetuating the stupidity. That may predominantly be composed of people in that other group, but it is certainly not anywhere near all of them, and I have the ability to make that distinction and avoid prejudgements. That being said, all of that nuance went unstated in my original post, so my bad.
I can't remember, but he says he grew up in Beaverton. He looked maybe 40-50 years old. In fact he did say his SSI was given due to some kind of illness he has.
"even Nancy Pelosi has said impeachment is out, unless something "so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan" against Trump is uncovered it would be worth their political trouble to prosecute."

You know why impeachment is out? Because Republicans control the Senate, and because there are plenty of conservative Democrats too, so impeachment doesn't stand a chance.

If anti-Trump politicians controlled Congress, Trump would have been booted out long ago.

The only reason Trump is still in office is because plenty of Congressmen still support Trump, and many of them don't care what the evidence says.

He's nominated the judges they want. He's given gigantic tax cuts to the wealthy. He's pushing hard against immigration and pissing off liberals. That's clearly more than enough to get the support of most conservatives. If he had to cheat or lie or get Russian help to get in to office, that doesn't matter to his supporters because all they care about is that their agenda gets pushed.

His supporters also know if they admit he's committed impeachable offenses, they'll be politically stained along with him, and it'll be a gift to the anti-Trump camp. So they'll never admit it.
Not that two wrongs make a right, but isn't that what happened to begin with? Or did they go to SF voluntarily?

In any case, the legal argument was that Nevada had a duty of care. It's not about "rounding them up", it's about the state of Nevada providing them with shelter and psychiatric care. Which presumably, they would do in Nevada.

I get your point but this seems to also be an argument in bad faith. The point is to show that it is likely that homosexuality is more innate than "a choice" or something you can catch, for the purposes of informing our moral judgements.

"Conservative" here meaning "content permissible within the narrow window of generally accepted social standards" and not "conservative" as in "the most extreme position expressed by religious firebrands".

> Ask if they would feel comfortable recommending you

great suggestion.

@op -- if you can cool down from feelings of betrayal, contact your former manager / the company in a polite and professional manner and ask if they are comfortable recommending you / being a referee for your job applications.

there's a good chance your manager is genuinely unhappy to have to lay you off, and would prefer to keep you on if not for running low on cash. it doesn't cost your manager much to provide you with a strong reference, provided they're comfortable doing so.

re: op's comment

> I understand where they're coming from, but I still feel a little betrayed.

maybe think of this as a useful (but harsh) lesson -- when you are an employee, your relationship with your employer is a business relationship, that can be terminated by either party at any time (subject to terms in the employment contract & applicable laws ...). your employer isn't your friend, your employer isn't your family, it's just business.

> Should I pursue an education (I never went to college)?

if you're at a point in your career where you can get paid a liveable wage (or better, a good wage) to learn a bunch of useful and valuable stuff on the job in a role that you largely enjoy, why not keep on working?

> What kind of company should I apply to next?

personally i suspect that the value of working at a startup as a humble employee is over-valued . consider applying for more established and profitable businesses that value software development. personally i find small companies more enjoyable (provided there's a good fit with the team) but larger companies may be able to offer better pay & benefits, have more opportunities for advancement, along with more politics and frustration.
I think the key line is this:

These experiments help[ed] to improve understanding of how the body’s sensory systems work when the usual gravitational cues from the inner ear aren't available

In a zero gravity environment, you won't have reference from the inner ear. These volunteers also did not have that reference due to their spinal menigitis, so it allowed a way to observe how the body's sensory systems behave in such a scenario.
Is it a scandal if it isn't true? And you're right, Obama never had anything in this scope, it's worse, because people died from things he perpetuated.

1) Fast and Furious: Continued program that caused a border agent to be murdered with one of the many guns the US sold to the cartels.

2) Benghazi: We all know this disaster that killed 4 Americans. Severely understaffed embassy that should have never even been there. No support when requested. Blamed the whole thing on a video.

3) Iran Nuclear Deal: Pallets of unmarked Euros flown over to a sponsor of terrorism in the dead of night

4) Spied on conservative reporters

5) IRS Scandal: Targeted conservatives with the IRS

6) Private Email Server: Lied about knowledge of her server, turns out he had a pseudonym on it and received emails from it. He said he found out about it from the media, woops.

7) NSA Spying: Obama forever known as the spying President.
Brilliant. Bookmarked. Thanks for that.

I am going to have a go with that, I found the main problem I was having and that was a failure to actually obtain some stylesheets. The ones that were without the https://domain at the front were silently being downloaded blank, parsed as blank and therefore not giving expected results. Garbage in, garbage out rather than anything complicated. Sometimes though you expect the harder bits to be wrong, e.g. only finding 'one match per line' due to not having a convoluted enough regex, or something else complicated.

I have to work out how to present data too so I will finish that bit off using my simple 'count the {' approach as that is near enough for a rule count, and fast too.

However, I am also interested in qualitative analysis to determine if things such as CSS grid is used or if it is all floats, whether CSS variables are used or not and if selectors are all about classes or if there are more advanced ones.

I think I really need to get the backend bit cludged together for now but then pick up on your work to take things on to this next level. Sometimes a cludge that is ballpark is useful, presenting information can only really be done when you have something to work with. Any developer can find out the information they need, presenting it to a non technical audience in a succinct way in order to back up an argument is a very different proposition.

Believe it or not 'getting the colours right' is a challenge. So imagine I want to convey to some person that shuns code and only cares about pretty pictures that their plans to use this theme or build a Wix/Shopify/Squarespace site is not what they want to be doing. They aren't going to listen to me describing how these easy solutions are not performant. But, with a few pretty graphs and succinct summaries that becomes easier.

I think you have given me the pieces of the puzzle that I need to do this. In my own mind I can imagine the bullet points that summarise the key findings. Best get on with it!!!

Many thanks.

Here is a fascinating post by Stefan Karpinski, one of the creators of Julia:
https://discourse.julialang.org/t/array-ordering-and-naive-s...

He shows off a function named "sumsto" which takes a single positive double precision floating point number "x" as an argument.

"sumsto" always returns the same vector of 2046 floating point numbers -- just in an order so that naive left-to-right summation returns "x".
Just changing the order of that vector lets you sum to almost any positive double precision number.

If you want to run the code, I didn't see where "realmax" was defined, but this works:

realmax() = prevfloat(typemax(Float64))
It had a lot of "Content not available from your location."...

Huffington Post pretends to be very socially liberal, but really it's all about preserving the status quo which is ultimately a conservative position.

Also have you read any of those New York Times "editorial" pieces they crank out? "Trump isn't so bad" and "Why I voted Trump and I'd do it again, gosh darn it, and you should too" are typical fare.

The term "conservative" has shifted dramatically in the last 50 years. Some of today's "liberal" Democrats are further to the right of some Republicans in the 1960s. The most liberal of these large media institutions are at best hard-line centrists.
I am the author of the now-frozen mxhsd project [1] and its resurected version, Gridepo [2]. I have contributed several times to the specification, reported issues for the past two years and still, to this day, I can confirm that it is not possible to implement a Matrix server with the current specification that can talk to the reference implementation.

Most fundamental problem: synapse doesn't sign the events like the spec tell us to do it, making every event invalid. Whatever you sent that is spec compliant will be refused by synapse.

So talking "synapse" is possible. Talking Matrix and be able to federate with the ecosystem is not. I wish people would not blindly believe what a for-profit is saying, especially one that is in full control of the said protocol, and start checking for themselves.
