The skewed sex ratio among the population 20-40 years old is real in Europe. The immigration from Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia is almost exclusively male. Then European females migrate west and north whether to improve their status by better job or by finding partner with higher status.

One of the first things we were told in HS psyc, was that people had multiple roles, and in different contexts they behaved differently.

That isn't dishonest, that is behaving according to the role given.

Agreed on virtually all of that.

By regional acting; I'm referring to pre-cinema, pre-radio, and to a large extent, pre-amplification. Also pre-rail, which meant that entertainment through much of the 19th century was local, at best regional (steamships ... or river rafts ... in Huck Finn's period).

The turning point was probably between 1880 and 1930. I suspect you were very young at the time ;-)

Mark Putnam's compilation of hit songs from 1840-2013 has a slightly different focus, but captures quite a bit of the dynamic. The tanitions in the 1920s, 40s, 50s, and 60s are particularly sharp.

Amplification, the war, electrification, mass media, and rock music, largely. The last driven by cheap vinyl and ubiquitous radio. Several following transitions were also tech-driven; synthesizers, mixers, tae, music video, CDs, and most recently, professional-quality home/personal production equipment.

You would need to be dedicating your life to obtaining and consuming ketamine, at which point you already have serious problems
Yes, though much more directed than UBI. Credit Unions are well positioned to provide loans for coops. The government could provide some backing for those loans to stimulate growth. That’s way, way less intervention than a UBI.

There was already lots of single men living there, so there wasn't as much opportunity for their numbers to go up. For single women to afford to live in the same neighbourhood, they have to be part of the professional class, and the number of professional women has gone up quite a bit over time.
The observation that such music can delay host attack, reduce blood feeding, and disrupt mating provides new avenues for the development of music-based personal protective and control measures against Aedes-borne diseases.

Once they had this preliminary result I wonder why they didn't just get a synthesizer and explore it systematically. It might be as simple as some threshold volume of low-frequency tonality, as opposed to any musical structures.
Pros of charging hourly:

1. You penalize people who are wasting your time with trivial work like testing or not refactoring.

2. You can part time, or do a major project in parallel. E.g. work on the train, or while teaching classes.

3. Suitable for work where there's a lot of time consuming back and forth and experimentation, like working with APIs, CSS, copywriting, UX design.

4. You simply want to do other things the rest of the day - go to the bank, play video games.

Pros of charging daily:

A. If you have a lot of non billable hours. For example, you do a lot of hard work and need lots of rest.

B. Works better where there's less trust in the contractor. Sometimes when you don't trust yourself either.

C. Suited for deep work, which is hard to get into under pressure of hourly billing.

D. More room to research, where you don't want to feel guilty spending a lot of time researching something.

E. Less switching costs because your whole day is dedicated to only one thing.

For stuff like machine learning as opposed to front end web dev, perhaps daily rate is best.

I'd look for an industrial warehouse in the Midwest with strong credit tenants and long-terms leases (e.g. like a publicly traded company serving a utility function).

You'd have to start with a small property, given your capital. But returns are stable and can be relatively high -- 9-15%.
Kranzberg’s Six Laws of Technology, a Metaphor, and a Story
Rethink what? If you release something under an Open Source license per the OSD, then yes, cloud providers can use it to make money, as can anybody else. Field of Use restrictions, etc., are explicitly dis-allowed by the OSD, because allowing that sort of thing opens up all sorts of crazy rabbit-holes that nobody wants to go down.

If someone has code they want to release under a license that prohibits those things, that is great. They are totally free to do that... it's just not Open Source. It can be "Source Available" or "Shared Source" or "Fauxpen Source" or whatever they want to call it. That's fine, there's room for all sorts of licensing models in the world we live in.

Xio did, in fact, attempt to point out that the shapes of the tetrominos are functional elements and not subject to trade dress. The judge disagreed.

The judge also said that while copyright does not protect the abstract concept of a falling block game, he specifically cited the shapes of the blocks and the playfield size as copyrightable.

This is anecdotal but I decided to host my own sites. I bought the cheapest droplet from digital ocean that I could and I set it up running Fedora. Then I installed Apache, MySQL and PHP so I could run some wordpress sites.

The server kept running out of memory and shutting down MySQL so my sites stopped working. I started to learn how to read logs and saw that there is a huge amount of malicious activity directed at my server all the time.

Yesterday I installed Fail2ban which meant installing postfix. I got it working (took most of the day) but I can't send emails to my gmail account because I need to set up dkim and dmarc and other stuff. I have a list. But first I have to learn how to do all this stuff.

I use Fedora every day at work but I'm obviously no sysadmin and you are so right. All this takes hours and hours to learn and then to stay on top of it. When I was on shared hosting I had a lot less control and options but it was a lot easier as well.

Let’s see
A) they are selling a product

B) they are helping propping the stable status quo

C) do you really help a country by selling oppression tools to its dictatorship, most democratic countries have overtaken dictatorships in all metrics with one exception

D) getting good will from the current rulers and establishing cooperative relationships within multiple levels of those countries

E) good will and relationships can be exploited

Why would cool-retro-term “freak out” IT professionals any more than a typical terminal emulator? Does “freak out” have some additional definition I’m unaware of?

Personally I found cool-retro-term lacked support for a few ANSI escape sequences I needed for tmux to work quite how I liked which prevented me using it as my daily $TERM. I’m sure with a bit of effort I could have gotten it working but it was an effort not work making when there’s literally dozens of other ${TERM}s I could use and the only thing in favour of cool-retro-term is novelty.

I do really like how cool-retro-term is an expansion of the acronym CRT. Clever project naming.

I wouldn't use "Teddy" to look for single strings, at least not without heavy modification. The boring approach of hunting for a predicate or two with PCMPEQB or equivalent then shift-and'ing things together has worked well in practice for that sort of thing, although it can be a bit brittle if you get the predicate(s) wrong.

15 Years of Addiction: An Intense Account of Heroin Withdrawal
I still have my T68, I used it for many years after it's phone lifetime as a bluetooth remote for my audio system.

Out of ones I owned with the best aesthetics... the Nokia N9. No other phone matched OS to hardware as well. Mine died, else I'd probably still use it as a desk clock. It inspired the design of the entire later Lumia line.
-0 is truly a mistake on the part of the IEEE committee. You can get it by dividing by -infinity, it's supposed to indicate "zero approached from the left in this case, but it's not consistent; sqrt(-0) will give you -0 in most implementations
I took a different approach to this - I started my own company a offer contracting services. I tell my clients "I work 40 hours a week, including communting. If you want ass-in-seat, that's ~30h/week. Want more? Let me work from home." (I tell them this in my most sale-sy, honey-dripping voice).

None have objected. I now work on average 6 hours per day, 30 minute lunch, 2x40min train+walk commute where I space out with music or podcasts. I make more money, am happier and in better shape then ever. Can highly recommend.

"More young men than young women have indeed been coming to Europe. Of the 1.2m asylum applicants in the last 12 months of available data, 73% were men, up from 66% in 2012. Those men skew increasingly young: according to Eurostat, the proportion of male asylum claimants who were 18- to 34-year-olds was 40% in October 2015 (the latest available data), up from 35% in 2012. Males between 14 and 17 years old accounted for 11% of all asylum-seekers, up from 5% in 2012."

> Performance? Due to DNS caching at the resolver level, it is probably faster to use Google's 8.8.8.8 or CloudFlare's 1.1.1.1, than anything local (where all dns requests are a MISS).

Some resolvers (like unbound) can be configured to prefetch cached entries before they expire. And in any case if you use something locally you are probably going to configure it to fetch recursively from one of the "big guys"
Now he only needs a deal with Google to forget some search results. He will certainly get that.
I wonder what kind of development and deployments you do and whether FreeBSD might work better. For instance, FreeBSD packages (ports/pkgng) has two branches: latest and quarterly. I've found latest often closely tracking upstream releases.

My work consist of Elixir/Erlang development and a bit of deployments with Kubernetes/Helm/Kapitan/Jsonnet. I primarily work on iPad and login to the FreeBSD workspace via Blink.sh/Mosh and it all worked really well.

That said, if your work involve Haskell and Stack, you might want to stick with FreeBSD 11.2 since Stack still hasn't release a version that supported FreeBSD 12 (which broke due to FreeBSD 12.0 change to inode64)
I've done ketamine recreationally and haven't been that impressed. Not sure if it's the dosage or my personal reaction to the drug, but it's like a very temporary (30 min max) feeling that is similar to being drunk.

I'm probably just misunderstanding, but a calendar like Google Calendar definitely needs to store time with a time zone (i.e. dates with a time component). This allows to keep a scheduled event at 9 AM, even if the time zone offset is redefined (due to a political event).

Google's marketing department doesn't give a flying f*k whether you install another os on your chromebook. Use it however you like, with their blessing and even their assistance to the degree that they can help.

Your "common knowledge" notwithstanding, I can tell you with 100% certainty that the os protection features in chromeos devices are about security. More specifically, it's about creating a device that Google can use themselves for extremely high-security use cases.

You can trust it, or not, doesn't matter. But for Google, the modern Chromebook is the only desktop environment where they can be absolute sure that all the software and all the hardware are clean. Turns out that other companies like this capability as well, so it's a general product feature.

But if all you want is some cheap hardware where you can flash the bios and run Windows Vista, then you just go ahead and be you. That's fine.
Pay for what exactly?
We’ve had this (or something similar) at Amsterdam Schiphol for a while now. With the scanners here, everything stays in the bag, electronics and liquids. The time savings are quite noticeable, because people are so slow at taking apart their baggage. Now they just throw on their bag, take off their coat, and maybe their boots, and they’re done, easily saving 1/3 of the time spent at other airport security lines.

I believe that was a civil way to point out to someone that they're not coming across completely lacking knowledge on a subject and that they're coming across as a try hard. Personally, I believe that not stating this in scenarios like this is akin to bullying. Basically, the person is out of their depth instead of pointing it out, people carry on while smirking to themselves feeling superior while everyone else enjoys the embarrassment. To me, that is intellectual bullying. This is not a nice thing to do. Instead, the civil thing to do is to point out that the framing of their point is not good and this allows them to improve the framing of their point.
Yeah, I found that product shortly after moving to Thailand. Unfortunately, the price in Thailand is many times the price shown on their website, over US$1,000. Here for example https://shopee.co.th/BlackHole-%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%A3%E...

That's the cheapest I have seen it in Thailand and at 39,000 Thai baht that is more than US$1,200.
I agree with Paul Vixie. The internet, IMO, is not a playground for large corporations.

What originally made the Internet amazing was the participatory nature of it. As it started 'standardizing' or 'accruing', autonomy was lost in the pursuit of efficiency.

Today, 2-3 corporations are just trying to own the internet, and this needs to stop. I favour a participation in the Internet than what it is today.

Okay, so how can we make it happen?

- Make a decent DNS Server in Go/Rust/<Any-Clean-Coded-Implementation>.

- Make this embeddable in routers/open stacks, maybe in OpenWRT.

- Make it easier to define top level zones/domains in a modern, easy data format (maybe JSON/YAML). Make this an overlay/augment format.

- Publish bootstrap corpus of data for such independent DNS servers; No, they do not need to have all the root server content updated as frequently. It could be easy to sync this periodically with a git pull. This should be an internet-wide mirrored effort, like Bitcoin.

- Isolate oneself from people, arguments and organizations who want to use AWS/Google/<Insert-Popular-Provider-Of-Choice> because they work at scale and are cheap. One should know that to have an independent internet, the change starts with the self.

- Run the DNS server at home, production, *cloud and protect the Internet.
When you say "timestamp", many programmers think about UNIX timestamps which, by definition, cannot have a timezone, so to those people a "timestamp with TZ" is a bit of an oxymoron. But I understand where you're coming from.
Improving oneself is a good frame for this. There are so many important and subtle and deep aspects of the craft to improve at. I want to work with people who recognize this and allocate their self-improvement efforts wisely.

Studying API trivia to show off in interviews is about as far off as it gets. So probably I’d choose the candidate who hadn’t done that. I’d rather risk a lazy coworker than one who fixates (even if competently) on the wrong problems. I’ve seen coworkers with that trait seriously drag down a team with low-signal nitpicking on others’ pull requests and designs, for example.

API knowledge is ideally a consequence of familiarity with the craft. Sort of like how vocabulary is a consequence of reading, writing, and interacting with well-read people. I’d rather have a conversation with someone who reads a moderate amount than with someone who decided to memorize the dictionary. The former knows fewer words, but I expect they’ll have more interesting things to say, even if none come across in the first 30 seconds.
They are in the business of capturing and influencing behavior. Selling ads is one way of doing that. There are others.
I made my own. Every time I googled something or learned something new, I added a flash card. It could be anything. I added a lot while reading a book about learning Javascript. It's just something I had to figure out once I decided I wanted to use Anki.

I have cards like asking what a closure is or how to use one, or what an IIFE is or how to use one. Or what IIFE stands for. How to deconstruct an array or an object. What's the scope of a variable defined with "var"? How does it differ from "let"? How do I list all the properties of an object? How do you access the properties of an object? When should you use bracket notation to access a property of an object? I have a bunch of syntax ones or basic ones ones like what's the equivalent of a Python forEach.

Somebody else might decide to have completely different questions. I tried to codify every little thing I learned while using Javascript, where others would consider it overkill. I've already deleted plenty of cards where I I felt I'd internalized the knowledge in a way that I don't need a flash card for it.

https://github.com/Amanieu/hashbrown#performance

Note that the hashbrown crate uses FxHash by default, so the second table is the fair comparison. When ported to the stdlib it will likely be changed to have SipHash as the default.

For the standard hashmap, replacing SipHash with FxHash gets you a 4x perf boost. Replacing the standard hashmap with hashbrown gets you a 2x perf boost (when you're using FxHash, there are no numbers here for when you're using SipHash but I suspect it will still be significant, if smaller)

As a counter-anecdote to your disbelief, I've enjoyed internet on an ISP whose DNS servers were very slow. Slow enough for me to spend the effort to find out what's the holdup between enter key and first paint. DNS responses were about 350ms, compared to 8.8.8.8 sub-20ms.

Edit: I should add that the slowness wasn't a peak hour thing, it was consistent, all day, for several months.
