If your API is so complicated that it becomes a DSL, then perhaps there should be better communication between frontend and backend teams. Setting up a lean API contract makes more sense than creating an internal DSL or exposing internal data stores directly to users.
Generating the Mandelbrot Set
Is this because Samsung simply sent you a phone that hadn't been wiped and was still signed into all these accounts, or was it really just auto-signed in due to phone number? I did the Samsung Ultimate Test Drive as well and don't recall being auto-signed into anything (though I also got many SMSes and calls intended for the previous owner).
Won't we just end up worsening deforestation?
Indeed. This is completely unrelated to the details of the case - it is simply unacceptable that a higher court can effectively gag a lower court from referring to the EU court.

The brazen contempt for the spirit of the law that Facebook (among many other companies) display never ceases to amaze me.
Isn't that what they're doing, hence this question?
I thought about stopping but decided to keep reading. I'm not sure these guys know what ETL Tooling means, some of the entries were just bespoke R script only packages that just extract data into R.
Can you find this article and post it please? I have to show it to someone
docker solves 2 problems. first is you have no control over your devs and allow them to install any software from anywhere. and second is you want to sell cpu time from the cloud in an efficient way (for the seller).
The problem is the glue. When the glue melts (which it does at a much lower temperature than wood burns), the structural integrity is lost.

Firefighters do not enter new construction homes in the US because they often use these as floor joists. The time until failure has been greatly reduced compared to older homes. Things may have gotten better in the last few decades, but I'd like to see the data.
Same points I made before: if more than one library has a flaw, it’s a design flaw and not a one-off implementation flaw, and if you’re trusting the header before you validate (which is necessary!), then it is not meaningfully protecting anything, which is why those bugs work.

And, finally: we’ve put together an extensive list of recommendations, repeatedly, both in general and in the articles on this thread.
Concrete is very susceptible to freezing water, and steel rusts. All building materials have flaws, this doesn't seem any less manageable than the flaws of the current most popular building supplies.
Well, the UE people don't support Linux in their own games...
I think the central problem here is not asking more of gifted people during early school years. I was pretty disengaged with school before college. It just wasn't challenging enough in the right kinds of ways. I flourished when I got to college since I was finally in an environment with unlimited challenge and rewards. I learned to set my own standards for achievement and be less worried about how I would be judged externally. This attitude has continued to serve me well through work and life.

If I ever have a gifted child, I'll raise the bar high early on.
BWaaS (blog writing as a service)
I'm fairly sure a truck charging takes less power than a train accelerating. The overhead lines will be fine.
Could we just tell the people with screen readers to ignore it?
Those are very nicely gussied up but the spaces involved all seem relatively modest. So I'd guess that they cost less to build than the large US stations we're talking about. Those details cost money but I'd guess single digits millions at most, not the half billion a New York subway station can cost.
I hate them as much as you do, but you're wrong.

I would love to see some evidence (a link or something) of this. I see captchas that look like pretty good edge-detection discriminators- street lights in tree limbs, bicycles against brick, and so on.
Exactly. The said reality that solving this problem helps many developers who would otherwise not capable of deploying to servers.
I was lucky to have people smarter than me always around me. On the other hand, if you explicitly aim for surrounding yourself with people better than you, you will almost always succeed. So do that.

(I was the best math student in my class, my grade, my school, my city, etc. so I aimed for national math olympiad, and got to #10. Why would you settle for the best in your school?)
Exactly. Or Apple charging a percentage of all in-app purchases.

“I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”

Isaac Newton
This is very familiar to me. In college I often procrastinated until 3 days before an exam and only then opened the books. I didn't have the best grades because I made a conscious effort to get through with as little work as possible. I felt good about it as other classmates were studying for weeks before. Unfortunately I spent a lot of that free time playing video games. It was fun but i could've achieved way more.

But in the end you have to ask yourself what actually matters to you in life. The end goal is to be happy. I knew I wanted to have kids and enjoy life with friends and have fun. I could have been one of the best in some field, but for what purpose? Scientific achievements are hard, im not ready to commit my life to working at some problem which I may or may not solve. It's not about what you achieve, it's about what you choose not to. Jack of all trades is a sensible choice even though it's sometimes frustrating.
The administrative state in the US isn’t as trusted, powerful or competent as in other developed countries. This is partly because of the structure of government in the US, all the checks and balances making getting anything done harder, the US tendency for regulation by judicial settlement instead of legislation and the much more democratic decision making process. There are far more political appointees in the US system, and elected posts, than in other developed countries. The civil service just isn’t as powerful. All of these are self reinforcing. The US is just very different from other places.

The ignorance of international best practices is just imperial disease, a special case of not invented here. I honestly struggle to think of a technology or industry the US has lost leadership in and then recovered but it’s not like Germany is doing well in electrical vehicles. Sometimes your time is past, like the US and semiconductors.

The political and administrative sclerosis is unlikely to get better fast without the kind of pressing need that results in a new constitutional settlement. It could get better slowly I suppose. The inward looking self regard will get better when the US sees itself as an excellent country rather than assuming they’re the best at everything.
I would love to see that, maybe a bird-like communication would occur.
Agree with the first one but disagree with the second one. EC2 was selling CPU time long time ago before Docker existed.

Many people use tools incorrectly, that doesn't mean you shouldn't use those tools, you just have to be aware of the problem, which everyone in this (sub)thread now is.
I relate to this and give a lot of credit to my father for teaching me work ethic that I never knew I would need at the time. School was easy and I never learned to work hard at academic work, but I sure worked hard finishing a basement, chopping wood, shoveling the driveway, and much more. I always hated doing that work, but I would see my dad just continue to power through any project no matter how difficult it got. I would always find ways to take a break, but then I would see him continuing on and get right back in there and help him out.

After getting out of school and finding out that it actually does take time and grit to finish a project I have been grateful for the example that he set. It hasn't been easy learning to work hard at something, and I don't do nearly as well as he does at it, but I have gotten better over time.

Its because of this that my perspective has changed greatly around what makes a person succeed. I help teach people programming in my spare time and one thing I have noticed repeatedly is that the ones who do best over time are the ones who just keep at it even if it is difficult. Too often the "gifted" ones do great at the beginning, but once they encounter a topic that they don't naturally get then they might just give up because they feel it is too hard for them or that they will never get it.
I have a mail server with a new address generated per post (or per comment for thread functionality) on a blog i run. People then get to mail their comments. For all reputable mail sites I let things directly through, for everything else I use a spam filter turned to 11 together with a mail-back link for post verification.

I have had zero spam the last 8 years.

The code is ancient and runs on an even older version of lispworks with Auth details hard coded all over the place, so I the time it would take for me to share it would be longer than to rewrite it in some hip language.

Had I been lazy and not as privacy conscious I would have let Gmail do the spam filtering for me.
It has come to a point that traditional text/sound captcha challenges are trivial to bypass today

Don't be fooled. Text-based CAPTCHAs are still very effective, unless you're a really large target on the scale of facebook or google. If you design your own text-based CAPTCHA, it's highly unlikely that someone is gonna pull out their ML skills to read your CAPTCHAS just to spam. Too much effort. I wrote my own PHP CAPTCHA more than a decade ago and have it used ever since with virtually no modifications, and not a single piece of spam has made it through on my websites (if you don't count my friends trolling me with silly messages once in a while).
US Government CAC Card Active Directory Policy Exposed on Google
I only skimmed the article, so perhaps I missed it, but it seems there is no mention of any central user authentication/authorisation solution or personal certificate storage like Active Directory. Every IT infrastructure that is expected to scale beyond few users has to include a component like this to manage users, their certificates(or keys), access rights etc.
I went through the gifted program and that's the experience of my peergroup as well, I think. A combination of effortless success in school and ADD left about half of my cohort completely failing in adulthood.

There are, of course, some hotshots with PhDs in cool jobs Toronto, but a whole lot of effortlessly brilliant folks just getting by with joe-jobs. While there's nothing wrong with that life, it does speak to how the kind of success people expected isn't just a matter of intelligence.
It sounds a lot like Carol Dweck's book Mindset, or one of the many articles about having a growth rather than fixed mindset.
I’m also not getting my 5 bedroom 3.5 bath 3000 square foot house in the burbs with a great school system for $350K. So there is that.....

Besides I know from all of the recruiters contacting me from FB and a friends experience, if you learn enough “leetCode” they don’t care what company you come from. They are hiring kids straight from college.

But as soon as they said it requires relocation to the west coast I deleted it.

Now on the other hand, Amazon hires AWS SA’s, TAM’s, etc without requiring relocation as long as you can travel frequently.
Whatsapp needs to know when you add a phone contact so it can lookup the corresponding whatsapp contact.

Even the 3 minute delay is annoying - it's common I meet someone, add them to my phone, and then want to send them a Whatsapp message and they don't appear in the list. I have to awkwardly hang around for a minute or so before being able to send them the message I wanted to send.

(for context, in most of Europe, Whatsapp is used pretty much like iMessage or SMS is used in the USA - wouldn't it be annoying not to be able to SMS a new phone number without waiting 3 minutes?)
SQLite Is Not a Server
I kind of wish my parents had never been told this.

I think being told I was "gifted" might have blinded them to a much more important problem - that I had severe ADHD.
The youtube video, and comment I was responding to talks about buildings made entirely out of wood, no glue, no insulation, no screws?, just wood.

With those sorts of constraints, you're going to be limited by how high you can build.
Additional information if anyone is interested:

In general, I believe for example the US court system hierarchy (where you appeal instance by instance in serial order) is very different from the EU court system (when it comes to interpretation on EU law).

Lower courts MAY ask the EU court for guidance on what EU law means while the court of last instance for a type of case (the highest court) MUST ask the EU court on what the EU law means if it is not clear.

Here is the relevant text in the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU):

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX...

If anyone is interested in more information of exceptions from referring to the EU court you can read up on the doctrine of acte clair and acte eclairé. This doctrine is now always followed (nd may sometimes be difficult to follow) by court of last instance so it is important that lower courts can ask if they think the higher court has made an error in relation to this.
At some point those VoIP servers connect to PSTN. Someone is responsible for that.
Oh, and as for the model used, Cox multifactorial analysis is fine, except they forgot to add an unknown member to the parameter set. Without it, this cannot measure unknown unknowns and you cannot say if the analysis makes sense. If unknown covariate has higher hazard ratio than known covariate, something is off.
Another way to validate is to calculate goodness of fit for each covariate.

The strong assumption in Cox model is that hazards are independent constant multiplicative which might not be true at all. (Such as limited detoxication capacities or hazards varying over time, or hazard clusters, or synergy between hazards. These are all examples of nonlinearities.)

In case anyone wants a primer: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2394368/

FAMD and MFA would show whether the simple nonparametric linear constant hazard model holds between paired variables.
>Qualcomm's first weapon against competitors: patent licensing terms requiring customers to pay a royalty on every phone sold—not just phones that contained Qualcomm's wireless chips. This gave Qualcomm an inherent advantage in competition with other chipmakers. If another chipmaker tried to undercut Qualcomm's chips on price, Qualcomm could easily afford to cut the price of its own chips, knowing that the customer would still be paying Qualcomm a hefty patent licensing fee on every phone.

And that was just the start. Fantastic article. Qualcomm, man, just evil business practices that worked for a decade and may continue depending on appeals.
It's probably this incredible nonsense:

>> The reason former colonies haven’t been able to do the same at home is because their society and economy are permanently crippled by colonization.

Here's an interesting passage from Early China: A Social and Cultural History ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GA22L0E/ ):

> Even when we are talking only about the areas that can be considered as part of Early China, back in a time when "China" as a nation was still in her infancy, we find that more cultural developments had taken place in the valleys and strips of plains that are surrounded by mountains and plateaus on the second step mentioned above, or on the transitional belts along the major mountain ranges, but not at the centers of the floodplains located in the east. The reason for this development was simply ecological, given the fact that in the second millennium BC most of the eastern China plains were still covered by marshes and lakes[2], and the coastline in some sections was at least 150 km inland from today's seashores. The pre-Qin texts record the names of more than forty marshes or lakes on the North China Plain, most of which had dried out after the third century AD. In fact, for millennia the North China Plain was continuously caught in the process of sedimentation by the Yellow River which carried on its way east huge quantities of earth from the topographical second step [areas 1-2 km above sea level].

> [2] Even in the historical period, it was recorded that the Yellow River had changed its course some twenty-six times.

The Yellow River killed vast numbers of Chinese who farmed its banks, even being given the name "China's sorrow". But efforts were made:

> Over time, as the bottom of the channel gradually rose, the river overflowed its banks. Dikes were built ever higher to prevent flooding, and in some places the river started to flow above the surrounding countryside. Today, in a stretch of about 1,100 miles, the Yellow River moves along 11 yards above the plain.

> Under the Qin and Han empires [roughly 200 BC - 200 AD], the Yellow River was the core of Chinese civilization, home to around 90 percent of the population.

( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003TXT09W/ )

During that period, the Chinese hadn't really settled farther south, because... it was full of swamps. But the swamps were drained, the people moved in, and the Yangtze River basin and areas further south had become the demographic center of China by the end of the Tang dynasty in, um, 900 AD.

Tang China was probably the wealthiest country in the world at that time. But it was much poorer than any country today.

Warring States China in 400 BC was much poorer than that.

So no, no one has been "permanently crippled by colonization", and if they had, draining the local swamps would still be well within their means.
Why stop there? I block HTML on all websites. Can’t show me ads if HTML is blocked. I also usually browse the web through an Ethernet connection. Don’t trust WiFi. And to make it more secure, my cables only have three wires in them. Less wires means fewer places for hackerz to hide.

I think this article is about the study about that topic which started it all:

This reminds me of a parenting philosophy we employ with our kids:

We don’t tell them they are smart. Instead, we tell them they must have worked hard at something (Assuming it was worthy of praise).

We got this from the book Nature Shock, a book that talks about “counter intuitive” examples of how you can impart lessons on your kids more effectively.

Basically by praising hard work rather than brilliance, you are telling your kids that you got something because you worked on it, not because you are inherently “smart”. This gives them (at least in theory) something to work with when they run into obstacles.

Worry though what to do if they never pursue anything that is truly “hard” for them, and consequently need to struggle. and they never have to work.

Edit: changed wording in last paragraph to clarify intent
100% this. If your school is boring, don't get bored. Find your own challenges.
Apart from the energy used in harvesting, transport and construction (if not carbon-neutral), yes.

However, what you actually do is add a new carbon sink, with a flux in and a flux out, just like the eco-system, the ocean, the atmosphere etc. As long as you keep the outflow lower or equal than the inflow it's a net win.

Edit: Another point - we might not be in a position to think about this at the moment, but we should not store all available carbon in rock form (some of the carbon sequestration ideas lead to rockform carbon basically) because our descendents may really need it one day.

They are able to verify that the user selection is correct. It is possible only if they already have the right answer. If they already have the right answer, what are they training for.
Being born intelligent is only part of the equation. It takes hard work and a little luck, too.

The world is filled with successful people of less-than-average intelligence who simply work hard and are in the right place. On the other side of the coin, there are many highly intelligent people who never find satisfaction or material success.

The game is made up of many aspects. We do best when we don't ignore any of them.
That's a very bad idea. Anonymity is lost. As soon as money starts flowing, you have to reveal your full real life identity. I do not want to do that with every website that has a CAPTCHA. And before you say "no you don't, there's bitcoin, etc.": Many governments force you to identify your customers.
Part of the issue here is defining what it means to “achieve”. I was a gifted child and graduated at the top of my fancy Ivy League university. Did I go on to conquer the world? No. And many days I stress and feel bad about that. But that’s mostly when I allow myself to judge myself by the external validation system of society. Society values a big bank account or fancy awards which is fine. A happy life spent with family, spent learning and pondering lots of different things rather than focused specialization, spent achieving enough to live well but not make the Forbes rich list or a Nobel prize are considered external failures to live up to potential. But it is a happy life and in the end that is all that matters. It isn’t easy to tune that out and be thankful for what you have but it is vital to my sanity.

I have children now who are very smart and capable. If they want to conquer the world that’s great. But what I really try to reinforce is that they should find a life that makes them happy and try to ignore the sentiment that they MUST be a Supreme Court justice or a unicorn CEO if that isn’t what their soul tells them.
Probably the simplest would be to not designate a child as gifted. It marks them as different, which can act almost like a social stigma.

Just let them grow up at their own rhythm, and see what happens. If they are good at school, they can always take online video courses on things that they enjoy.

For example, have them take as many courses as they want on https://brilliant.org or Coursera on any topic they like. Let the child themselves determine their own destiny, don't impose things like academic success or a corporate career on them.

Maybe they are natural born entrepreneurs and they want to build a company, who knows? All these expectations thrown at an you child can be nothing but detremintal and anxiogenic, just let them grow up like any other child.
Try anveo.com, they have numbers globally which start at less than $1 per month but with a setup fee of a couple of dollars and a per-minute fee of around 1 cent per minute. You can also pay more per month charges for no per minute charges.

You'll also need a SIP client. Some Android phones have these built in but you can also use things like Grandstream Wave. I have no idea about iOS, MAc aor Win but there should be several options for those.
Are there tools or guides to help test how websites "appear" to people with disabilities ?
It is difficult to design something if you don't have an idea of what will be the outcome, but I wouldn't know which software is used by (e.g.) a blind user, let alone how I would use it.
