That sounds like a good camp.

From the kids' perspective, that big pile of rocks would be equally good whether it was stable and safe to climb on, or some 1-ton rock was teetering ready to crush the first child to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's up to the playground designer to make sure it's the former and not the latter.

The playground should feel a little dangerous and let kids climb things, fall off, get bumps and scrapes. It shouldn't contain genuine life-threatening hazards.

My sister works for a non-profit, and we've discussed tech projects there a few times. I think the issue from a business perspective is on the demand side of things. The problem is that the market rate is set by the companies that are in a position to pay it. Everyone else has no say, they're just shut out. You're competing for staff with startups and enterprises that are capturing enormous value.

There's no easy solution, in market terms at least. Maybe you get lucky and catch someone who doesn't need the money and thinks your cause is good enough to put effort towards, but that's not reliable. I wish I had a better answer. Upskilling someone else is potentially viable, depending on what exactly you need. The problem is that things such as static sites and basic sysadmin stuff that are (relatively) easy to skill up in, are also quite cheap in the marketplace for that exact reason. So I'm guessing that's not exactly what you're talking about.

There's quite a bit of effort these days towards upskilling people into more web app developer roles. Lots of bootcamp graduates and a few self taughts floating around. And in my last hiring exercise I found there's quite a large pool (in my area, ymmv) of devs looking for their first real FE/BE job. There's probably some real good value there but the trick is in sifting through the mud. The quality varies wildly, and some of it is shocking. You could get lucky though. I think the go is university graduates, but I hear a lot about grads in the US going straight into high-ish paying jobs so that may be area-specific advice. I was on $45k my first job out, which I thought was fair at the time. But now that I understand the market better and can see just how sub-par a lot of the work out there is, it's obvious that that was a bargain.

The other problem with that is that you're at a big disadvantage when building a team from scratch. A lot of the new devs coming in that will accept lower wages will turn out to be great coders and deliver great value, but a much smaller subset is going to be able to do that on their own with no guidance. That's part of the reason I suggest looking for graduates. I know it's an unpopular opinion here but I think a strong theoretical understanding of software development will help a self-starter more than the equivalent practical knowledge, since without a lot of mentorship they're going to get much more of the practical side from working for you. My first job was straight in the deep end, full responsibility for everything and very little help (one back-end dev who was in the same position with only a tiny bit more experience). I'm super greatful for it, and I think it made me a far better dev than I would have been if I went with a different (bigger) company. Maybe that could be a selling point?

tl;dr if you can't compete with the market then you need an edge that gives you more value than you'd otherwise get. That means people that aren't in it for the money (needle in a haystack, as I'm sure you know, given your position), and people that will rapidly (and successfully) upskill above what the market expects.
I’m pro-life, and I think killing an unborn baby for any reason is abhorrent — as you said, it’s the same as murdering an adult. (Although there are cases where the mother’s life is in danger - but that’s always about “who to save” in the middle of a surgery or something - that’s different.)

I don’t know who you’ve heard that viewpoint from (abortion is wrong except in cases of rape/invest) but I don’t believe that and I don’t know anyone who does. I think it appears as a political concession and rarely (if ever) as a sincerely held belief.

You just revealed where your goalposts will end up when they stop moving, so that's effectively where the goalposts are.
No.

They really didn't.

In this case the claim that it's a fully synthetic genome is fairly suspect, basically it boils down to this:

A codon is 3 base pairs. Giving 64 possible codons.

Each codon codes for an amino acid except for 3 (I think?) stop codons.

This results in more unique codons than there are amino acids.

As a result some amino acids are represented by different codons.

In this paper all they did (not saying it's nothing, but it's definitely not what the headline says) was remove that redundancy. Effectively they ran sed over the genome of E. Coli (I think, I read it this morning which was hours ago), and replaced every occurrence of an alternative codon with a single "standard" one. Then they plonked it into an existing cell and it reproduced.

The biggest challenge was probably ensuring the correct construction over the 3 million odd base pairs in their root strain. Note that of 3 million base pairs, they only made 18000 changes, far from a synthetic genome.

It should not be surprising that given a correct assembly the bacteria reproduced - by design the experiment only replaced codons with a different equivalent codon.
Electrical tape was useless on my ASUS router with its blinding blue LEDs. Three layers didn't even get rid of the problem, because the lights are so bright that they shine through the white plastic casing of the router. It's incredibly annoying. I finally placed the router inside a cereal box.
Why? The webserver chose to provide the browser with content. If they're comfortable serving the article to any browser that whispers the secret passphrase "I'm visiting you from Google.com" - well, that's their prerogative.
The only way to have free content is if the user is the product being sold. That's detrimental to both the user and to the society that they live in if it affects how they make decisions. (Which is an integral part of news)

I simply don't understand how anyone could be frustrated with a publication making it harder to get content for free. It's what we must accept if we don't want the government to provide the news.

This hasn't been the case for years if you're a big name. Small fry lives by different rules than the Washington Post or the San Francisco Chronicle.
Are we to infer that your lack of criteria for "best" in your own post means that it too is meaningless? You made a breath-taking leap going from {our society isn't as dependent on planting and harvesting anymore} to {therefore it's "probably best" to radically alter universal concepts of temporality to partially solve an obscure technical problem}. Methinks the burden on proof lies firmly in your court on this one.

Technically speaking double negative leap seconds will break the monotonicity of time_t as well. Fortunately for us, there is no provision of double (positive or negative) leap seconds [1]; ISO C's range for tm_sec, which allows for 61, was a mistake [1; "not really UTC in 1989/1990" section].

I think you're not grasping the difference of how Apple is structured compared to most companies, and why I made the comment I did, which is completely verifiable.

Apple slices up departments by function, not by product, which is why there are organizations under Tim Cook such as Software Engineering, Hardware Engineering, Internet Services, etc. Everyone and no one is responsible for shipping all the products as a result of this structure. Software Engineering in particular is responsible for all of the operating systems that powers Apple hardware.

Similarly, this is how smaller departments under each SVP/C-level org are subdivided, and so on to the team level. Each team may be responsible for a particular product, which includes all the experiences for that product across operating systems. There is no single engineer responsible for just macOS/iOS/tvOS/watchOS. Everyone is responsible for everything, and similarly no one is responsible for anything.

Apple's structure is unique compared to other companies, and contrary to how most are run, which probably contributes to your confusion.
That attitude practically erases the entire foundation upon which the web was born and grew popular. There was an entire culture of gifting, information freedom, and passion projects and capitalism has swallowed it whole.

These capitalist fucks can take their "user is the product" BS and shove it up their collective ass. The internet should belong to nerds, not moneypigs

The downside to G Suite is that to share files with other people, they must also have G Suite accounts.

I'm working for a company that frequently needs to share large files with third-parties, where "large" is "larger than modern email limits". The requirement to have a G Suite login is a complete non-starter for most of the companies we interact with, but Dropbox is fine. So, we use Dropbox to share files with those suppliers.
I mainly use Dropbox as a way of syncing a bunch of textfiles between my PC and phone, so I use GoodSync[1] on my PC and FolderSync[2] on my phone. That said, I've recently started using Resilio for some other stuff, so I could probably do away with Dropbox for this use case, and just use that instead.

The other time I use Dropbox is for apps that use it as an intergrated way of syncing or backing up settings, such as MoneyDance[3].

If you look at the comment I replied to, they were talking about replacing the Apple store with some China-grown service. It's not happening, China is not in any way culturally compatible with the rest of the world enough to pull that off, just like Japan never managed to do that (and they were WAY more westernized than China is now).

Chinese businesses just fundamentally don't understand what western cultures want, they can just build cheap gadgets. For the next let's call it 35 years it's simply not going to happen.

Bacteria are alive by all standard definitions of life.

Generally viruses and prions are not considered alive as they are not (theoretically) capable of self replication.

Viruses don't have any of the mechanisms required for self replication - they only reproduce if a different organism is coerced into duplicating the virus's genetic material. Specifically the virus genetic material gains precedence over the cell's own material once the cell dissolves the protein shell.

Prions are literally misfolded proteins - saying they're alive is not different from saying any arbitrary polymer is alive - plenty of polymerization processes essentially have the same construction behaviour: rely on the bond affinities to morph neighboring identical molecules into identical construction.

I've been using Mishell Budget Calendar for the past 8 years. Nothing beats the calendar UI in my opinion. Makes sense when you think about most income and expenses are recurring events. The balance at the bottom of each day lets you check the future for days where you might be getting close to running out of funds. It might be a simple move the day you pay your utility bill each month, or try adjusting your grocery budget by a few dollars and it shows straight away how that impacts your future balance.

You being technically apt would probably set up distinct accounts for say yourself and a spouse and share between if relevant but family accounts are incredibly common for average people.

The average immediate not extended family size is 4.

Also please note that setting a distinct device limit of 3 is only an effective and useful change if and only if it effects a significant number of users and pushes a significant number to paid accounts.
Thank you ! f.lux is a blessing, i use it since a few years and if it happens to use a computer on the evening without it I feel assaulted with agressive blue light.
Depends on your definition of rural, to me if you can see your neighbors house it likely isn't very rural... though the American west is a literal different cause many of the rural towns have all the residential packed on top of each other.
I had no idea that this was the case; thank you for highlighting it. I also have no idea what would posses the Safari team to think settings I have enabled aren't distinct from data foisted onto me by websites I visit but that is a question for keener intellects than mine.

Fair and true.

I've always been a bit scattered across multiple cloud service, for various reasons, so I opted to use software that could sync with multiple and avoid installing so many clients.

That said, Dropbox's other maybe-not-quite "killer feature" is that it's exclusively intergrated into a number of applications for settings and data backup/syncing. In those cases, Dropbox's purpose is interchangable, but in practice it's not.

It would be nice if there were an app like CookieAutoDelete [0] for mobile Safari (or desktop Safari if Mozilla keep misbehaving!). You can disable cookies but that's trivially detectable.

An Introduction to Bot Development and Why DevOps for It?
Thats is an odd article seemingly based on an informal rule applied when revising limits and the officer's personal perception/experience. It even cites scientific evidence to the contrary but simply dismisses it by pointing to the personal experience of the expert.

Here's a personal experience: driving in Belgium, the Netherlands or any other country with limits is much more pleasant than driving on German motorways, where you have 40-50% of roads with no limit whatsoever. The high limit means even as drivers tend to be much better trained than in most other countries I've driven, German traffic is unpredictable. You'll overtake a truck driving 90kmh, while yourself driving 130kmh (advised speed) and someone comes up behind you with >170kmh. Changing lanes is much more stressful than eg Belgium which has pretty bad drivers, but they all stick close to the limit of 120kmh, meaning flow of motorway traffic is much more steady.

If the issue really were that drivers don't stick to the limit - enforcement is the answer. Increasing limits does not improve safety on its own.
China implements de-regulatory policies which boosts its economy while the united states is encouraged to implement restrictive regulation over big tech that will inevitably kill its private sector. Interesting contrast there.

This is because of the modern idea that we should be most interested in ourselves and what profit we can generate rather than what is good for our community (i.e. open, independent and shared journalism).

Also, if the user is not to be the product, then the company must demonstrate the value of the product that we should be paying for. If the perceived value is not there, why would anyone want to pay?
