Social Security Will Be Insolvent in 16 Years
When GitLab starts to fully support automatic Let's Encrypt certificate generation with GitLab Pages — just like GitHub, I would strongly consider moving.

AFAIK it's in the pipeline to be added, but seems to not be a #1 priority[1]. Please let me know otherwise.

West Virginia is worse off than most of the US. But, it’s not on it’s own the way a country would be.

So, it’s doing well compared to most of the world. The median household income is still $43,469 which is better than say Japan at least in nominal terms.
Similarly enough I went from BASIC to Pascal to C. Actually I tried to go from BASIC to C, but that was a bridge too far due to my lack of visceral appreciation for structure. At that time, Turbo Pascal was a god-send as a development environment - crazy fast, decent editor and library all in one tiny thing. In some sense, I owe any advancement in CS to that tool.
Actually working more than ~55 hours in a week is soul crushing and physically very hard. At a certain point you would need an escalation of stimulants or risk not being able to get out of bed if you actually worked 75 hours.
You might have the right to protect your specific process of breeding that variety of onion. But if you then sell the seeds to grow that onion you've sold the ability to grow that onion to another person. It's intrinsic to what an onion is. You could argue the only legal way to protect it would be to only sell the onion products and never the seeds or bulbs yourself.
Dark energy would simply accelerate the asymptotic approach to equilibrium by spreading everything out. When everything is evenly spread out and in thermal equilibrium, the aggregate effect of gravity could take over, if the mass/energy of the universe was truly uniformly distributed. Or this is my armchair/idiot idea anyway.
I certainly know people who stay in jobs they hate because they fear going without medical cover for self and family; in contrast, over six jobs in 18 years, I've only once lined up a job before quitting and the idea of having to keep a job for the medical insurance sounds like bondage to me (yes, I know, it's not bondage, it's all just relative - that's what it sounds like to me). Being able to simply quit (and sometimes just knowing it's a genuine option) when I get sick of work has, I suspect, contributed to my mental health.

I've seen people keep jobs they hate because they need to keep providing for their family. In the worst cases, they come to resent those very same loved ones for what they have to go through on a daily basis. It's not healthy for anyone involved.
So you’re willing to pay protection money?
I don't know the other genres well enough to evaluate them, but the bluegrass one (https://soundcloud.com/openai_audio/genre-bluegrass) is pretty bizarre:

* Who uses piano as the lead instrument in bluegrass?

* They're only using one one note velocity for the whole piece, which misses a huge wealth of variation through rhythmic accent.

* Timing generally feels a bit robotic?

* The best parts it sounds kind of ok but boring; in bad parts it sounds like nothing (https://soundcloud.com/openai_audio/gaga-beatles is even worse that way)

* A lot of the artificiality seems to be the synth they're using.

* On the other hand it does understand a bit about phrasing and repetition, which many people new to traditional music take a long time to pick up.
"For the center gate, you only have to clear it to unlock scoring, looks like then you can ignore it (other than not stepping through it)"

I believe you can see that idea in pick-up basketball when you only have one hoop; the opposing team who steals a ball must "clear" the ball by taking it back to some line (like the half-court line) before attempting to score, simulating a full court. In this case it is "intended" [1] to prevent you from just grabbing the ball from a scoring team and scoring immediately yourself. It adds some momentum to the game, otherwise it's rather unstable.

[1]: Or, if you prefer, "without this rule Speedgate would have been much less likely to survive the winnowing process and thus been found evolutionarily unfit".

I was inspired to try baking from The Great British Baking Show and was really surprised to find how difficult it was to find lard for my pastry dough. Bring it back!
Ha, I got asked this question during an interview many years ago. I knew the answer, but then the interviewer asked me why do they use this code (swap variables without a temp) in real code. (I was interviewing with device driver team) . I couldn't answer this one.

the reason is that if we only use operators without memory operations, the cpu pipeline can finish sooner, because the alu comes first in the pipeline. So it will be faster.
> A single edit with the goal of ruthlessly eliminating every unnecessary word

This phrasing makes it clear that the goal of that edit is to eliminate every unnecessary words.

> A single edit, eliminating unnecessary words

This phrasing implies that just one edit is needed, no particular focus, and is satisfied by eliminating some unnecessary words.
I guess the parent means when (NT-Kernel based) Windows XP replaced Windows ME, which was the last version to run on top of MS-DOS (iirc).
The most impressive result here is Lua -- not far behind C! LuaJIT is amazing.

Good to see a few languages like Nim and Rust actually beating C for raw performance, too.

Yet, historically and practically the notion of 'time' has always been tied to a clock - the daily cycle, the change of seasons, etc. For example, when people said, "time has passed," they meant a certain number of natural cycles - days, seasons or years. The abstract, "theoretical" time, untied to any clock, is a relatively recent invention and, in fact, very well may be a fiction.
They use a rugby ball, and they kick the ball and pass the ball, but that is basically where the similarities with rugby end.

@maze-le, realize, your fingers are going to get burnt, either way. Just do the right thing. For your kids. Because they are going to ask themselves: "why did daddy work so hard toward X, when X is so bad for humanity?"

Don't fucking do X, man, is all I'm saying. You know what X is.
I think the time horizon for a step change in oil distribution is a lot shorter than people expect, precisely because it will be more likely a severe step change (ie, a snowball/crash) than an easy transition. Oil distribution is extremely complex, amazingly baroque, and has only a small number of players (they use a shell game [Shell Oil pun intended] of a large number of different "station" brands, but are really only a few companies left). When instability hits, it is likely to hit hard and look almost immediate (look at 70s Oil crises, for example).

I don't yet have a guess what percentage of the car fleet needs to be EV for that to happen, but that number is also not the only potential disruption that may happen to cause it (again, we have the 70s Oil crises as examples).

(Not that causing an Oil crisis is necessarily the right way to combat climate change, but in the question of chicken-and-egg between ICE and EV, people sure have a short memory for how volatile Oil is.)
You are exactly right and every sane human being has always known this. I have no idea what hole all these troll commenters are climbing out of that they dont understand basic english.

That's possibly because of the "Code must follow best practices" restriction.

Oftentimes compile to C is "It's C Jim, but not as we know it"

You can write C as if it is a SSA VM or similar intermediate representation that leaves very little work for the first stages of the compiler.

> The Protestant work ethic, the Lutheran work ethic, the Calvinist work ethic or the Puritan work ethic is a work ethic concept in theology, sociology, economics and history that emphasizes that hard work, discipline and frugality.

> The concept is often credited with helping to define the societies of Northern, Central and Western Europe. Even though some of these countries were more affected by Lutheranism or Anglicanism than Calvinism, local Protestants nevertheless were influenced by these ideas to a varying degree. As penal law was enacted to uphold the uniform teachings of the Church of England in England, only various English dissenters held to those values. Among them were the Puritans who emigrated to New England, bringing the work ethic with them and helping define the culture of what would become the United States of America.

> Hard work and frugality were thought to be two important consequences of being one of the elect. Protestants were thus attracted to these qualities and supposed to strive for reaching them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestant_work_ethic

All of the dissent I see on that page is about whether or not capitalism is inherently protestant, and whether protestant work ethic explains the relative riches of northern protestant nations over southern catholic ones. While that's interesting economic ground to argue over, it's completely irrelevant to the social phenomena I'm trying to pin down.
seeing nanodegree on CV would be neutral for me.

I'm software engineer without a degree, i've done ML nanodegree recently. I don't plan to shift my career to ML and did it only to gain high level understanding. I didn't have to put a lot of effort to complete. I wouldn't consider myself hireable for ML role but i've seen that other people treating nd courses much more seriously than myself putting a lot of effort and producing great projects.

In the end is about the skills you have and a way to present them. I think udacity courses do teach relevant stuff but it's up to you to put the effort in
Hmm... I still see people cracking "sent from -Android- a potato" or "when his text has a green box" jokes on Twitter, and the street scene is so brand-obsessed it's become a weird critical-mass self-reflective meme (supreme hypebeast).
That could be very interesting.

Interesting concept. A user friendly Pi-alike that runs services locally so you don't have to trust the big corporations. (said corporations may have very different goals than you do for your data, he says as neutrally as possible...)

I'm very happy that such things are possible nowadays: small inexpensive hardware running Linux, with some well constructed software UI on top. Similar to what Mozilla is doing with their IoT webthings gateway (which I have running on my Retropie since most of the time it sits idle and sips tiny amounts of power). I know it's "on the shoulders of giants" but I think we shouldn't underestimate the power that an open, hackable platform like the Pi gives back to people.
Yep. To put it simply: it would be quite different if every user had a downvote button available.
That has always been rude, but is especially so in today's political context. Immigrants of color know that lots of people in Western nations don't want them around. Random interrogations from random white people don't help them feel better about it.

Rudeness isn't the end of the world, but we should still try to avoid it. I don't get pissed off when adults ask me about or make stupid jokes in light of my obvious physical handicap, but I would still prefer that they not do that. Young children get a free pass, because I don't expect them to know any better.

The whole concept of "icebreaker" seems dubious. If you don't feel comfortable around strangers, that's your thing. It's silly to assume that anyone treasures your company enough that they want to become familiar.
How magnetic are the built-in charging connectors in the ThinkPad and Dell?
I also just had my first intern. But I also taught at the college level and have had a few employees. A few suggestions to add to the already good lists here.

1. Tell them _why_ you do something.

This helps with cognitive load while learning, and helps them overcome some mental stress when investing in new techniques/methods.

2. Provide real code examples that work, and demonstrate them.

This is analogous to hearing a song played when learning to play a musical instrument. It's really hard to convert notes to music without knowing how it is supposed to sound first.

3. Be patient and ready to describe things from multiple angles.

I noticed I was more patient with people I have little time with. The more time you spend with someone the harder this gets. So be prepared for this.

4. You are likely to be wrong, be ready to learn yourself.

Every class I taught something slightly off, or made a mistake, or simply a student had learned some obscure thing from the internet that I had not learned myself. I learned alot by teaching others, but also by screwing up in front of an entire class. Be humble, expect to be wrong from day one, and be grateful when you are taught something new from anyone from any skill level.

Note: knowledge is easily attained these days, understanding why you use one thing and not another is not as easily learned. When an old experienced codger on the internet say to do something a certain way, take it really seriously and study why, then you can pass this on as well.
I’m American, and I frequently notice that most people are always talking about how much everything sucks. If somebody sees a movie, there is a 50/50 chance they will be talking about how they didn’t like it because they thought the writing was awkward in one scene. When talking about a car they will complain about how the dashboard feels. When talking about their relationships with other people they will complain about how this person is too familiar and that person is too distant. It’s as though everyone is employed as the Roger Ebert of their lives and everything they come into contact with. This approach to life seems bound to make anyone stressed even if they live in complete prosperity. Are people like this everywhere or is this more of an American thing?

That doesn't address the issue where your personal information is their business, ie. the ad-supported business as discussed in the article. The limits of what's allowable probably needs to be well-understood by all parties.

> It's not just a weasel qualifier. There is mandatory military spending in the US, e.g. pensions paid to retired members of the military.

So? When you're talking about how the military budget is too big, how does it make sense to exclude all the mandatory social spending from the calculation?

> Sure, but the extent to which it does it is largely discretionary.

That's not the point. Because defense is one of the few things the federal government is supposed to do, looking only at the federal budget will always make defense spending seem artificially large. You see people say stuff like "the U.S. spends more on defense than education!" In fact, we spend more on K-12 alone than defense--it's just that the education spending shows up in the $3.5 trillion of non-federal spending. We spend almost as much on infrastructure as on the military, a fact that is again obscured if you're looking only at the federal budget.

It certainly has been an interesting discussion :) and I in no way claim to be an expert, just a person who has been and is seriously considering this. From what research I've done and from the people I talked to, it seemed pretty rigorous, but that could be the marketing spiel.

I however do not use FB (or any of their other products, whatsapp, insta, etc) for privacy reasons. Are there any other forums etc you could recommend?

A good pie crust has both butter and lard, as separate bits that are not mixed. They melt at different temperatures.

The best lard comes from near the kidneys. Good luck finding some, or even just lard that isn't adulterated in some way. The lard I can find has been hydrogenated or has added TBHQ or BHT.
If you are busy, it is because you are both working hard and also trying to take advantage of all life has to offer (family, friends, vacations, fine dining). If you are NOT busy then it means you AREN'T trying to experience all those things to the fullest. Not only that, you might be DENYING those things to your spouse and children, with your LAZINESS. So, you better look busy.

They said the same things about Catholics, yes, back in the early 1600s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder_Plot - but then Catholics changed, and for the better. They quit burning witches and heretics, quit doing the war-of-religion thing, began actively tolerating their Protestant neighbors, and so on and so forth. It's not like I'm trying to demonize anyone, but how do you assimilate a bunch of people whose whole shared cultural milieu is trying to hold them back to the worst parts of the Middle Ages? It's not an easy problem. Demonizing them all and looking for scapegoats would be the easy thing to do, actually - the paradox of tolerance is a thing after all. Can we do better? I think that's a worthwhile question to ask, while ignoring the issue altogether is totally useless and unproductive.

I suspect "selling user data" is often a shorthand that really means something more like "selling ad-targeting based on user data". Which is not the same thing, although the results can still be abhorrent.

Is this a real barrier? Lending shares to short sellers at interest is basically free money to anyone who would be holding them regardless.

I don't see how DoH can be filtered at the firewall at request-level, since it looks like regular HTTPS traffic. Of course, MITMing HTTPS and then blocking particular DoH reqs and letting rest through would work, but apps that pin certificates might make MITMing an uncomfortable ordeal.

Blocking a DoH provider altogether might not be feasible.
