yes "nomad" vs "remote" (implying remote but based somewhere) is one of the argument for the other school: pay same rate because what if people are nomads.

Gitlab has a process for relocating, so it counter the following argument, but with that kind of location based salary that pushes people to try and game the system. Get hired while saying you live in an expensive area and finally move somewhere cheap.
You do get what are effectively very large inkjet printers that can print patterns on materials - might be easier to "print" custom camouflage for a particular environment?

Telling someone who speaks a language at an intermediate level that they don't always speak idiomatically is pointless - they already know that.
In the absence of patents, who is going to pay for the expenses of developing the medicine? It's not hard to predict that smart people don't work for free, nor is specialized lab equipment available for free.
That's interesting. In essence (assuming no tax law changes), you claim 20% of your income for the current year over each of the next 5 years for tax purposes. Has very nice properties for initial wage earners as you say.

Downsides: results in a 3x income tax charge if an income earner dies suddenly (assuming you want to settle their estate in less than 5+ years). Acts as a loan from the feds to the taxpayer, resulting in income taxes due after you stop working (perhaps you became disabled or got fired [or die, as above]), and results in deferral of income tax receipts to the government during the transition.

Overall, I really like it.

Migadu is the place to go--they charge for traffic, not mailboxes. I'm in a similar boat with lots of domains, aliases, and mailboxes. My family comfortably fits in their "mini" plan, $48/year.
It's pretty clear the author knows what they're doing and pretty much anytime I see a post like this I assume they are (smartly) doing some self-marketing rather than a 'see how easy/cool this project is?' So it's part 'look at this nice watch I made' and part 'look at what I could be doing for your product'. Far better than just saying 'designed and built a smart watch' on the resume.

I disagree entirely. Traditional humanities courses are in general about learning intellectual history, contemporary thinking, and critical thinking.

Mistaking the worst-case for the central tendency is a classic fallacy that is easy to fall into when expressing contempt.

Bullshit companies don't raise millions of dollars because people study poetry or art history. They seem to raise millions of dollars because there's a long tail of bad startups and a long tail of bad investment decisions, and the intersection of those can be cherry-picked to create the illusion that "the world is full of chicken shit".

The world does indeed contain some chicken shit, but chicken shit is not the central tendency of the world. Terrible startups get funding less frequently than good ones. Good technical ideas often raise millions of dollars and thrive, but sometimes they fail despite their merits. Sometimes "chicken shit" succeeds, sometimes good ideas fail, but it's foolish to mistake the exception for the rule.

But again, all this has very little to do with poetry.

CockroachDB 19.1 Released
The university I went to have now switched from Java to Python for introductory computer science. So this type of change may influence this increase in popularity as well.

I remember being a bit baffled that they used Java and not Python as an introductory language. It's a very obvious choice for beginners.

Lol, I remember the first lesson.

I use LVM and have enough storage that all SSD would be a little expensive so for the last few years I've been using the block caching LVM feature with mirrored NVME drives as a writeback cache to my large HDD array. It greatly increases the performance of the storage with little hassle.

If haven't played with gluster for a few years but it has a tiered storage feature so the most recently used files actually get moved onto the high speed storage medium, which depending on your workloads might be even better, assuming gluster is now performent and stable enough.
At least as an option hidden somewhere.
Many people have asked that question, it is a hard complex problem. If the FDA approves a drug and it turns out bad we hate them, if they fail to approve a drug we hate them without knowing if it is worse than nothing.

Fedora is too cutting edge and CentOS is too outdated? Ok then, go off to Canonical land where everything falls apart outside the most common use cases and your entire desktop experience changes every couple of years.

Fedora isn't cutting edge compared to actual rolling release distros so if that's still too much for you then RHEL or CentOS should be enough.
> Especially it’s battery life (easily 1 month+)

> I had one of the original Withings watches (before Nokia bought them out) and it lasted about a year until it stopped reliably keeping time. It got to the point where I was doing hard resets and changing the battery every few weeks and I gave up in the end.

Worse is better. Changing batteries? Failure to keep time? Over 200 Euros for a watch that doesn't last a year? Largely unheard of in the realm of automatic watches.
People Are Manipulating You on Facebook
Only semi-coherent. The article jumps from stating that a revolutionary group exists in the first sentence, to saying that a new country exists without any antecedent or explanation.

Also, the article merely partially paraphrases another article on a site named "ccn.com", which is mainly a blockchain news site, as near as I can tell.
One of my favorite French phrases is Je dis ça, je dis rien
I've seen more than once employees try to argue loudly for their job back, threaten violence, leave bomb threats, stalker exes, etc. all at a single company. Security walking people out is a precaution and based on my experience there a sound one.
Currently wearing an Amazfit Bip and I really like it. I got one for my Dad to replace his Pebble Time Steel and he loved it so much I got one. I usually get around 20+ days of battery life and it does everything I need, aka sleep tracking, notifications, and activity tracking.
I mean he basically begged to be fired, so it’s probably not all that much fun. They sacrifice any semblance of normalcy and have an endless calendar of ceremonies and events. Emperor Akihito acquitted himself pretty well in the job, and most people in Japan seem to be either indifferent to the royals or appreciate their focus on peace and calm and continuity. They’re a pretty boring royal family, which means they’re doing a good job I think.

Of course they can make a statement that makes it sound reasonable and defensible but look at the legislation they push. At the end of the day my right to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED and words like those leave a heck of a lot of space to infringe on my right to keep, let alone bear, said arms. Look at the "red flag laws" the DNC has been supporting in the past couple years. After Heller made handguns untouchable they were trying to go after rifles which are basically a rounding error as far as crime and violence goes. The DNC is hellbent on attacking the ability of citizens to keep and bear arms the way the RNC is hellbent on making abortions hard to get (I specifically chose this comparison because both of these positions are an asinine invasion of people's private business).

Top Qualities of an Effective Manager
That page lists it as a two syllable phrase (look at the categories at the bottom).

English speakers would be tempted to think it as a three syllable phrase because ʁjɛ̃ isn't a possible syllable in English, but in French "de rien" should be two syllables.

This is similar to, e.g., English speakers incorrectly pronouncing the Spanish word "luego" with three syllables.
It seems to me that foreign language learning is an area where computer technology has clearly miserably fallen short of its potential.

Apps like Duolingo and Babel are nice, but they seem to me more oriented toward making the user feel good about making progress then about achieving mastery in any useful time frame.

Flashcard tools like Anki and Tinycards are nice, but they lack enough readily available content to be really useful. Anyone with the expertise and perspective to use these tools in a practical time frame to assemble a deck of the many thousands of words necessary to achieve mastery doesn't need the tools.

It should be possible, using relatively simple tools, for a person to immerse oneself virtually in language learning materials. It should be simple to choose a rate of exposure to material from trickle to firehose. It should be possible to see an estimate of time remaining to achieve functional fluency at the current rate of progress, no different from the progress bar you see when downloading files.

Instead, each individual is forced to cadge together learning materials, of varying quality, in dribs and drabs; and guess at ones progress.

There are plenty of full-time University foreign language teaching staff around the world, they should be able to collaborate in production of content for online learning tools.

Yet neither the sophistication nor the efficiency of foreign language learning seems to have improved much in my lifetime.
Because English is such a widely spoken language by people coming from very diverse first languages, I think English speakers are accustomed to not just bad English, but diversity of English.
From what I understand from their talk on how they (don't) do devops they adopt a polygot architecture and teams use different languages.

At this point it should be common sense, there are arguments about this in practically every thread that mentions Python or JS.

As much as I hate dynamic typing, there are use-cases where I don't care about it much. What makes Python truly an awful experience in any case is the completely asinine dependency management.
The people who say pharma don't want cures generally don't understand the industry. A cure is worth more than a chronic treatment, and the article does an excellent job of explaining time preference (his 8% discount) - having a treatment you can sell for more years isn't worth much when you discount it all.

Fundamentally companies have to follow the science. If the science is there for cures, that is what is pursued. If the science is on life extending treatment, that's what gets followed up. You don't get to pick and choose what you want - both can be lucrative, and both can be failures!
That's completely fair. I don't want to be unduly harsh on people who don't have the time.

But also, am I crazy to ask that people practice even a tiiiiny bit outside of class? I know some people legitimately don't have the time or capability, but that's not everyone. I can't even find 5 people in my school who have a semi active GitHub. It's completely frustrating, as our curriculum is a joke. I don't know how they expect to get a job when our curriculum teaches nothing, they don't do any programming outside of school and they have no other experience.

Bear in mind I don't go to a low ranked school. We just had a professor who won the goddamn Turing Award (easy to guess I suppose). Somehow though we have the most anemic, half-dead CS community.
To call it a game is being rather hand wavy. It's not a game if the hapless tourist isn't in on it.

If my laptop were fully protected from that attack, it wouldn't have been as much fun for my student to wreck my machine in front of everyone. And so he might not have done it, and my class would have missed out on a beautiful demonstration and discussion of practical security engineering.
That's sad. In my observation of governments, if they do not have a single strong leader at the very top who answers to no one but serves everyone, then those who do govern will be so scattered in their plans and opinions that the government will be rendered almost completely ineffective at fulfilling its primary duties. A single strong leader at the top is needed, someone with courage and a strong resolve, and a clear vision of what's best for his country. It may be said that "absolute power corrupts absolutely" but not if the man believes in and is led by absolute truth, such as was King Louis of France.

I still remember one poem from high school we were supposed to guess a meaning of. The author was still alive at the time. It was about black crows soring on the sky and landing on a gray cement floor.

Teacher went all out saying its about dark thoughts and existential crisis etc.

I actually met the author and asked him about the poem. She said, she just likes crows because there was a lot of them in the city she grew up in.

Thats it. I even wrote THAT interpretation as my answer to some test later on and i got a failing grade.

Told the teacher about my visit and discussion with the author. But he said he does not care because thats not whats written in the answers spreadsheet.

After that i realized majority of such teachers are retards and should be fired. Unfortunately our education system is so underpaid, getting anyone half decent wont happen.
Excuse me if I have a simplistic view of this, but wouldn't an ID card have helped Windrush citizens prove their citizenship?
It is well accepted within the arts that the authors interpretation should not be considered privileged over the readers. I was taught that interpretations can vary in quality - particularly if they fail to take account of salient features in the work, but there's no particular reason that an artist who may have just created what 'felt right' necessarily understood why it felt so right.

I like to quote Socrates on questions like this:

After I had finished with the politicians I turned to the poets, dramatic, lyric, and all the rest, in the belief that here I should expose myself as a comparative ignorammus. I used to pick up what I thought were some of their most perfect works and question them closely about the meaning of what they had written, in the hope of incidentally enlarging my own knowledge. Well, gentlemen, I hesitate to tell you the truth, but it must be told. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that any of the bystanders could have explained those poems better than their actual authors. So I soon made up my mind about the poets too: I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled them to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean. It seemed clear to me that the poets were in very much the same case; and I also observed that the very fact that they were poets made them think that they had a perfect understanding of all other subjects, of which they were totally ignorant.

I'm sure you're right that it's not an easy problem to solve but it also doesn't sound like they put a whole lot of effort in:

> With these problems, the pattern should never have been chosen. However, there was no testing of the design before it was implemented. Research found that there were no studies done on the effectiveness of the camouflage in combat zones.

I'd be willing to bet their users could have quickly pointed them in the right direction if anyone had bothered to ask but the military has a strong preference for information to flow top-down rather than bottom-up.
I was a TA around 2004-2005. (I started in 2003 and graduated in 2007).

We didn't have automated grading for the labs then either, but we did for all the assignments. Still manual marking on style though, which to this day I have complex feelings about.
It's easier if you approach French after you've learned Spanish, Italian or Romanian. I'm fluent in Spanish, and despite not having learned French in a dedicated way, I can read and understand almost everything. Spanish -> Catalan -> French could even be a smoother route, move to Barcelona!
The difference is that they can buy homes on margin, whereas no one would lend to them to invest in the market on margin. Return has to account for only putting 5% to 20% down. Not that I think homes are a good investment outside of the few burgeoning cities in the US, compared to index funds, time/labor costs included.

This. Google (and Facebook) can generate more revenue by leveraging the accumulated users personal information in more invasive ways, irritating their end users. They can sacrifice long term growth for short term gain (or not). I think some of this short term growth slowing is due to that - pulling back from the most egregious practices because of scrutiny.
This was a preplanned abdication, so there was a lot of planning involved. For example, Unicode reserved the era name code point, but couldn't actually announce the code point because it wasn't announced until April 1. Similarly, people who have to support the Japanese calendar (such as Microsoft) had dry runs to plan for the name change with placeholders so they could update quickly.

This is the first time that the era has changed when computers were in widespread use, so there already had to be changes from the traditional "we're not going to announce the new era until it starts" (much to the chagrin of the ultra-nationalists).
if you aren't trained enough to read the study, don't post an article about it

The problem, as I see it, isn't just that the journalists can't read it, but that their audience don't care about it. The journalists are supposed to serve as intermediaries between the two, but frequently, proper journalism on the story would fail to excite the reader. The vast majority of science is important to other scientists, but science that actually matters even to scientifically-interested readers is not that large.

The readers want more content that interests them, and science fails to provide it. No journalist could bridge the gap between the dull progress of science and the reader's real interest level. The market for "mind-blowing" science -- sweeping technological and philosophical advances -- is far greater than the market for incremental improvements and novel but minor insights.

The niche does exist. I find it filled fairly well by Science News, which has about a dozen pages of real science news every two weeks. I only just got an issue about the black hole photo, which was fine with me: real discoveries are still true and important two weeks later. But most readers would find every other article in that issue terminally dull.

I don't know how to fix that other than to ignore any science "journalism" that comes out more frequently than that. It exists, and I ignore it. It doesn't contribute anything: it's peddling effectively-fictional stories to readers who want sci-fi. I think that the finest science writing promoted well might attract marginally more eyeballs than it currently gets, but most readers simply don't actually care about science, and it's not something journalists can fix.
