Lift heavy. A stronger back and core will protect against injury and also naturally improve your posture.
As a professional support programmer (read that: I have to debug code someone else wrote), I don't use debuggers often.

But sometimes I do. And when I do, I'm glad they're there, because they are a great tool of last resort.
Then it seems it’s a good thing they had a system in place that could deliver the quick fix in less than a day, on a Friday evening, when shipping a normal fix could have — is — taking longer to ship than that quick fix did.
UN security council is another classic example, where any permanent member can use the veto to block any resolution they want, regardless of how the other permanent or elected members vote.
>1) Classes with other students are just about the least effective way to learn a foreign language. You just reinforce each others' bad accents, grammar mistakes, etc.

In almost all cases the primary reason for learning another language is conversation. The richness of interaction trumps the fact of picking up an accent or grammar errors.

I learned French by living in France for half a year, and was relatively decent at it at the end of my stay. Over the last few years I've tried to learn several languages by book or through apps, and progress is significantly slower, maybe as much as ten times slower.

There's so much richness in real world interaction, including visuals, sounds, connecting words and phrases to specific tasks, it's impossible to replace with an app.
The glasses are OK. But I don't like the steel/metal frames, they don't match with the rest of the building architecture.
Cell towers are too low to use them to detect a stealth plane passing in between their antennas and anything on the ground, but satellites could be used. We're surrounded by radio signals originating from the sky, so at least in theory the right equipment could detect a stealth plane not thanks to the radio waves it reflects but the ones it doesn't let pass through itself.
My favorite speculation about Lazar is that they subjected him to some kind of giant put on (basically a black project version of the "big store" con) as some kind of disinformation campaign aimed at foreign intelligence or even just some kind of social engineering experiment. Lazar saw what he saw, but it was fake.
The plural of anecdote is data ;)
Here's the dataset that I'm referencing.[0] From the summary documents, "DOD spending in the NHEA excludes spending that occurs outside of the United States." I'm not certain whether this does or does not include forward operating bases. (Post offices count those as being in the United States so I believe they are included; but I could be wrong) Nevertheless it does include domestic spending on veterans.

Also, many veterans get care outside the VA. From my own experience working with these people, they cite long waiting times or broken relationships with the government for not wanting to take part in that system.

I'm not trying to downplay the complexity of the healthcare market, it's really complex. However, it I were to pick the things the government had control over and impacted the marketplace the most over the last 15 years, I still would pick the same things I did. I could fill several books with other changes that impacted the cost of American healthcare. (switching to e-prescriptions, subsidies for electronic medical records, medicare part D, certificate of need laws, FSA changes, HSA changes, consolidation of pharmacy benefit managers, health system consolidation, the opioid epidemic, the rise of the physicians's assistant, the expanding role of nurse practitioners, etc.)

I'd rather spend my time continuing fixing the things I know I can make better.

Wages are rising, unemployment is low, the stock market is near an all-time high.

It's probably smart to consider the broad economic landscape and make appropriate moves in the personal finance arena. In a while we'll probably consider these to be very good times, economically. (But they won't last forever.)
Being able to visualize your code in your head is a great advantage, and I've fixed many bugs that way. But sometimes your imagination hits its limits and using a debugger to understand what's happening in the code is very useful.

Some cases where your imagination could be limited are:

- Code that you didn't write.

- Code that you wrote long enough ago that you don't remember the details.

- Code that you know very well, but you're having a bad day and can't figure out the problem just by thinking about it.
> it’s a good thing they had a system in place that could deliver the quick fix

No, it's not. "Studies" is not a security-related mechanism and it didn't exist in the past, when fixes were rolled out very quickly anyway for security reasons. "Studies" should not be relied on to be a fix-delivery mechanism, because it just isn't.

This is not even about privacy, it's simple good engineering sense.
The problem with that is the channel you join will either not be advertised very well or it will be huge (because it's advertised well). It's hard to find a good, small channel if you don't know anyone to refer you. You can't just go to /r/DiscordServers/top

I'm pretty sure the only thing this "add-on" does is install a certificate to your browser's trust store. You can remove the certificate by going to Options > Privacy & Security > View Certificates > Authorities > Mozilla Corporation > signingca1.addons.mozilla.org > Delete or Distrust.

You can manually install the certificate instead of using the "add-on" in the OP. Copy https://pastebin.com/rpByJV9P to a text file, change the extension to .crt, and then use the Import button in the Authorities tab I mentioned before.
Ugh, yes! I'm really into, running, for example. I go to Reddit running subreddit, and it's all just "I completed a 5k and lost 50lbs" or "I'm just getting started, here's a picture of me I'm so proud." Great, but not anyone who regularly runs it's a drag and annoying. Would love some more advanced topics with people like me who run 60+ miles a week, and are objectively a bit fast.

> people can enjoy media the way they want, not just the way you deem fit

Unless the official client doesn't support it of course. (showing edits as new messages is a great example of this.)

And I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed to enjoy that, but everything has trade offs and automatically opening links from strangers certainly has a lot of those.

>Just as well Discord, Slack, and others put a little "(edited)" annotation next to edited messages. Plus, one can only edit one's own messages; moderators cannot edit other peoples' messages as they can on forums.

I'm well aware of that, it still doesn't help me when I need to see the original version of the message.

> Bots can log messages,

Having to run personal bots is one of the arguments you've made against IRC. Furthermore, it's often not allowed.

> If your preferred Discord/Slack server

If I could pick the server most of my problems would go away.

>It really sounds like you're inventing to do with software with which you've little experience.

I have less experience with it than IRC, when I used to use IRC it was voluntary because it was actually pleasant. I never use slack, discord, or lync/skype voluntarily, but I've been forced to use all three by various organizations.
costs more to get them assembled. any through-hole parts blow up cost of getting your board assembled
1 or 2 engineers is not enough to fully resource a 24x7x365 on-call roster. Sure, $42k/month seems like a lot of money, but proposing to hire 2 engineers to replace that seems naive to me. If you need to build/run/maintain a service that doesn't stay dark all weekend if something breaks at 6pm on a Friday, you need more than two people who're prepared to answer their phone on weekends.
$99K/month in hosting costs and no visible source of revenue...

I have never taken any drugs besides alcohol and tobacco but I keep getting more interested in psychedelics. Not sure if that will be a mistake (especially since they are illegal here) but I'm considering that. It seems way more interesting than the other drugs in general.
I clicked that link and it displayed a puzzle piece with a one-way/no-entry symbol (https://i.stack.imgur.com/eVpMr.png)... not sure how I can know that this was signed by Mozilla, a company that I trust less every year
A step-through debugger is a ridiculously useful tool when you don't have a serial console. Or when adding in tons of prints would violate timing constraints and compiling takes a significant amount of extra time compared to just restarting the device under test & moving the breakpoint until you find where things go wrong. Much nicer than having just a logic analyzer.

Of course embedded systems aren't the focus of the article, but they're all over and a very good place to have a debugger.
It looks pretty much (including the toothless beak) just the way a medium-large oviraptosaur would look like, at least in my mind.

Mortal Kombat 11 review: Great gameplay, excessively packaged
The second sentence of Wikipedia for "Republic"

> The primary positions of power within a republic are not inherited, but are attained through democracy, oligarchy or autocracy.

We're a democratic republic. Just saying the US is not a democracy but rather a republic is a woefully uninformed statement. They are not disjoint. Now let's stop parroting this phrase once and for all.
Look, I don’t know if you are arguing in good faith or you’re a person who shills for the Chinese government but I’ll assume the former.

The burden of proof, you say, is on those doing the accusing. Well, let’s see:

We have entire Uyghur villages with markets that are now no longer active. Many of the people are mysteriously gone.

We have tons of Uyghur families with relatives gone missing or reported arrested.

We have actual buildings that are being used as prisons for these Uyghurs.

We have testimony from people who were held in these camps. They say they saw many of those they knew.

We have video from inside these camps, and it’s pretty clear people are held there against their will.

NOW HERE IS THE KICKER:

It’s not US propaganda. The Chinese government has already been accused by the following groups:

Falun Dafa practitioners
Tibetan Buddhists
Christian Missionaries

and has “defended” itself for years with an army of disinfo agents, in some cases the “defenses” are extremely limited and lame. For example Tibetan buddhists are accused of being slaveholders. Falun Dafa is public enemy #1 because they “say being gay is bad” and “lead people to do self immolation”.

In reality, Falun Dafa is a peaceful religion that has long been persecuted, since 1999 when Jiang Xemin personally oversaw its destruction, including many of the same tactics, such as extrajudicial kidnappings and reeducation centers. The numbers were justas staggering.

So there are already multiple groups for 19 years that are being targeted by the CCP and we are supposed to think they are all making this up and the CCP isn’t targeting them?

It’s always the same story. Some small subgroup does some violence, or in the case of China, just merely shows some organization or protest (as Falun Dafa peacefully did against cartoons). That is enough for EVERY member of that group to now be targeted for indefinite detention, and worse.

Jews didn’t believe in the existence of Nazi concentration camps and no one could imagine a civilized country like Germany would do such a thing. Denying journalists access looks really bad.

Now to be fair, we are talking about internment and re-education camps, not concentration camps for Uyghurs. Probably something worse than what FDR did to the Japanese.

Why should the world stand by and be silent?
That's an incorrect assumption because I can look at myself. I understand free will is an illusion and I don't have to stop doing anything.
What reason is there to think “Imagining how your code works” should always be faster than “seeing how your code works”? It is certainly the case that sometimes one of these is faster than the other but it’s gonna be codebase, tooling, and scenario dependent which one actually is faster.
Well qutebrowser already has a built in host-based adblocker. There are also a number of password manager scripts available.
>A lot of this is appeal to authority.

Debugger use is based on the same. Few things in development are not based on idiosyncratic preferences, fads, snake oil salesmen, tradition, or appeals to authority (and those are the math parts of CS). Of the 5 above categories tradition is probably the best and most "scientific" (at least it has stood the test of time).

There is little actual research on such issues (best practices, programming ergonomics, syntax leading to less errors, bug counts per style, etc), and even what little research there is usually flawed, with small samples, and non-reproducible (not that many teams bothered to reproduce it in the first place).

That's why almost nothing is ever settled.

My point wasn't that I want to run a museum, but that intentionally turning software into a time bomb is silly and adds very little security value. At least those other ways it happens accidentally.
>I agree. The post was full of appealing to authority that gives me disgust. And I do not like and use debugger.

Appeals to authority as opposed to what alternative? Untested arguments? Anecdotal personal stories ("I am not going to appeal to authority, so I'll describe how I debug")?

(See my answer elsewhere in the thread for why almost everything is "appeal to authority" or worse in IT anyway).
Why do you think it is a biological trait rather than a politically useful tool? What do we know about racism outside the context of complex mass societies with highly stratified classes of members? Maybe it's an effective con and not a natural instict.
GitHub's trending page is trash. Vue.js has been trending for a year straight. So have other repositories.

If it uses Stars as the only metric then it's never going to be accurate. It would definitely be nice to have the algorithm tuned so that there is a clear overview of what is trending on a daily basis.
it would be nice if each category would line up in this graph: https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2400/1*Bvw2zcdE146WaXB7i... ... kinda hard to read as-is
Likely talking about load resistors that are installed in parallel with the LEDs, converting energy to heat solely for the purpose of making the "incandescent bulb is bad" sensor happy.
Have to disagree with this. I'm a math undergrad but a good chunk of my algebra class this semester was physics students. Additionally, the author said they have a graduate degree. As far as I know (which is not very far) modern physics makes considerable use of algebraic constructions such as tensors and lie algebras, so I'd imagine the author would be familiar with these concepts, which puts them lightyears ahead of any self-taught mathematician.
1- "pro choice" and "pro drugs" most likely correlate already I'd say the opposite is also true.

2- The argument is different.

The question underlying abortion is about the status of the unborn baby. Is it a separate life that needs to be protected by law or is it part of you. If it is part of you at first, when does it become an individual?

The question about drugs is about self harm. Should we let people harm themselves? To what point drug use is considered self harm? How should we categorize drugs (most people agree that heroin is bad, psychedelics are more debatable)? Are substance bans effective?
Can someone tell me about the heart risks involved? I eat a lot of mushrooms and would love to continue doing so, but have been worried a bit about the 5-HT2b talk I’ve heard around.
Not OP, but I always thought it’s amazing how it becomes second nature.

You think you want to turn left and slow down, not I have to use my left foot to slowly press the brake and slowly move my hands in a circle while grasping.

> Even though it's "detecting" the adblock it isn't able to send information back from the client about it.

Sure they can, they can just send back a resource request. It could even be for like an image with a query string attached with it, it doesn't have to be an ajax request necessarily.
How about 'state inspector?' This is, of course, exactly what this article proposes doing with "print" statements, but print is a paltry state inspection tool compared to them, ahem, debuggers to which we are accustomed.
This comment seems familiar...
That’s by design. The council is kept small and all permanent members are nuclear powers. The ability for Russia and the US to veto each other’s foreign policy spats and agreeing-to-disagree is the reason we’re still alive today.
It seems like your objection to the Normandy system is that the UX surrounding it includes the word “Studies”. I am grateful they chose in this instance to prioritize repairing addons worldwide over the confusion that word has caused you and potentially others. I assume, having seen this and other such comments delivered with outrage rather than thankfulness today, that they will re-evaluate the UX surrounding the Normandy system to ensure that it more clearly designates non-study changes as such.
In the mean time, installing the hotfix extension and running the script seems to help :)
If you read the article, you’ll see that it was all about politics, not the public support.

As much as I love my tinfoil hat, I can't see any upside for mozilla in this? If it's to get people to opt in to "studies", they already have most people sending them telemetry, apparently, so this would just be to get stragglers? Seems like a really expensive way to do it.
I'm having trouble figuring out how to reply to the way you are framing the problem space.

There are several Einstein quotes along the lines of "A problem cannot be solved using the same thinking that created it."

The problem of antibiotic resistance won't be solved with the same mindset that got us here.

One thing contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistance is poor santitation in developing countries. Another is poverty.

There is also research into how to break up biofilm and thereby reverse antibiotic resistance. It points to issues with body chemistry which can basically be tied to diet.

I think there are clearly avenues we can pursue, but most people are extremely dismissive of those avenues. So they simply aren't being pursued in earnest.
>> some types of vaccines are creating evolutionary pressure...

Wouldn't it be nice if we had more eradication programs? Evolution is going to work around every vaccine eventually unless we eradicate the disease. Yes, this is a hard problem but I think long term its worth it. Eventually we might get good at it.
Yes but physics != engineering. You really need very minimal higher math to do engineering work. As far as I know, at my school the furthest engineers go is a course in vector calculus, ODES, baby linear algebra and simple probability. None of which would be really be considered higher math. In contrast, physics needs complex variables, Pdes and most students take at least a group theory class.
How does fudging instrument displays explain the visual sightings by humans? No agenda here, but I do think those must be assessed on their own merits or lack thereof.
HFT gigs I’ve looked at were all C++, some even Rust now - because they don’t want the risk of a long GC pause messing up a trade (which means Java, .NET, and Go are right-out).
Mmhmm.

There are more nuclear powers now, so shouldn't the security council permanent membership be expanded? We're not in 1945 anymore.
If as GP said the bulb fault is sensed as resistance is too low, putting a resistor in parallel with the LED will reduce the resistance even further.

I think it's the I^2R loss in a (series) resistor that makes using a resistor problematic from the POV of energy savings.
Crown flash, maybe?

Concrete is not an insulator.

It absorbs heat and releases it over time. It’s the direct opposite of an insulator, it’s thermal mass.

If it’s cold outside concrete will swiftly radiate away any heat it has retained and you’ll find yourself in quite the chilly building.

Good insulators for homes are products like Rockwool, Earthwool, and HardieFire (probably all Australian product names).

You can also get thermally reflective paints for roofs and exterior walls; fully sealed / sealable door and windows; double glazed windows with thermal film almost as good as triple glazed; polycarbonate window frames that have low thermal conductivity; HVAC systems that can transfer heat from warm roof space to living areas; products like Sun Lizard thermal transfer systems.

I’ve been in houses in Victoria and Tasmania where some or all of these systems have been implemented and the inside of the houses hover around 17 - 25 all year round with only passive systems.
The sensor is looking at current draw. If it's too low, it assumes a burned out incandescent. Basically, the LEDs are too efficient and look like a burned bulb. The resistor in parallel draws enough current to make it happy.

Benchmarks of what?

What exactly in BoyRobot777's comment (which I said I agree to) calls for benchmarks to be proved?

Nowhere are benchmark results taken for granted as faster or anything. Grandparent says: "Also, I am very interested to see new benchmark results once AOT SubstrateVM will be more widely adopted in JVM community."

I simply agree with the statement made: "All in all, with upcoming value types, SubstrateVM adoption, fibers and nice languages improvements like records, future is brighter than ever for Java." -- so, I responded to your comment which seemed to be skeptic of that (and accusing the parent of working for Oracle).

If you were referring to someone else and some other comment, why post your comment as a response directly under BoyRobot777?
The US - both the general public and the state itself - vastly overestimated the capabilities of the Soviet armed forces.

I don’t think that’s true for China, at least not today.
I'm 90% sure it is.

GitHub had great search, then they took it down when they found people we're scraping credentials with it, then they had bad search. I'm connecting the dots.

It's not about designation, it's about control. If Mozilla really cares about trust, they shouldn't mix their update delivery system, which should care for timely security-related material, with general telemetry, data-gathering, and experiments.
