Don't worry about them: once we have killed off all the vertebrates (in the next few decades by the look of it) they will have the opportunity to evolve into the next generation of dominant megafauna and their archeologists will dig up our bones and speculate on whether we had societies and civilization.

B&N doesn’t put their own price stickers over the MSRP / barcode. In certain sections they would have an X% off on the top-right of the front cover like new and best seller hard-covers, and specific prices on the discounted/remaindered looking stuff, but that’s also on the front cover. The main sections divided by topic (which is all full price) don’t have any stickers. They just sell stuff at full price and then apply discounts if you’re a member (only 10%), coupons etc.

Borders did put a sticker on every book. 2nd & Charles does too.

SEEKING WORK | NY | Remote

We're a small, US-based (NY) software development agency with senior consultants mostly from Europe (Europeans not too shabby :), actually they are really good) so that it's cost-effective for your company.

Let's meet in NY and discuss your project idea.

It's more about the chains dragging and getting super hot. You won't be creating sparks on a non-paved surface. Vegetation won't be growing on a paved surface.
To be fair though, last time I went to Poland (Krakow 2011) they were super-racist.

One of our friends was black, it was very scary at times. Lots of skin heads, random people spitting at our friend, getting followed by gangs of people.

I have no idea what it's like in Lithuania, but there can still be some pretty extreme racism going on in E.European countries.
I thought the majority of their production capacity is for memory and displays, which isn't just lying around ready to go for 7nm chip customers. And having plenty of unused capacity lying around seems unlikely to me considering the costs involved. They only got into fabbing other people's stuff seriously a couple of years ago, I know they have business from Global Foundries but I can't think of any others. I don't think there is anything "of course" about suddenly taking on that level of new business. Ramping up however many new plants is a huge deal, these chips are in full production right now.

Capacity aside, swapping vendor is a monumental task. They may not even have the packaging tech that's needed.

Either way, I guess anyone who actually knows can't say.
They didn't release the source.
>You're lucky your dad could mentor you with that stuff.

Looking back on my childhood vs today.

I was underutilized. My parents didnt know past geometry.

At the same time, very thankful my dad got me a computer as a kid. Wish we did more than install video games. But hey, computers broke more back then and I learned how to fix OS or hardware problems.
> Indeed, humane methods of rodent control are readily available. Retailers included in the activists' lawsuit, including Walmart and Canadian Tire, sell humane live traps (for as low as $19.99 on Walmart.ca at time of writing). Many pest control companies also offer humane solutions.

I have had mice get in my house a few times.

I hate glue traps. I had seen them used at a restaurant I used to work at, and it is pretty awful. They get stuck and panic and nearly (sometimes actually) rip themselves apart trying to escape.

But they're the only things I've seen that work. Because of what I saw with glue traps, I tried all sorts of "instant kill" traps. Some of them worked at first, but the mice quickly learned how to get the bait without setting off the trap, or they learned to set off the trap without getting caught. (No idea how - in some of these I'd have thought it'd be impossible.)

So I got some glue traps. They worked and they worked fast, and they got them all, both times this happened. You usually hear when they get caught, so I would get the trap, drown them, and dispose of it. It's pretty awful, but I'm sorry, I can't live with mice in my house.

My only real alternative is to get a cat, and trust me, having grown up with cats that ate mice and birds, they're not much more merciful.

> Winnipeg veterinarian Dr. Jonas Watson agrees with the group's position, pointing out that glue traps are also entirely indiscriminate, often trapping other animals as well.

This is a feature, not a bug. These traps are almost always placed inside, and whatever else is getting trapped is also a pest.
Maybe it was a glitch with the site or something? Page and image captions are all English for me.

Edit: I take that back. Fourth image and on, the captions are indeed in Spanish.
Glue traps have always been more useful to catch bugs. Just put one out at night and next morning it will be really gross

This article was unreadable as it scrolled single, widely spaced sentences over a changing background. Why is this considered innovative?

Kerosene, diesel, jp8, etc. are all basically the same from a power density point of view. It's what you burn them in and how you burn them that matters.
Indeed.. I stopped writing libraries when I switched to Python, because for all my needs there are better ones out there than those I could write. Only write apps now... :)
Maybe it's less common now that tooling and frameworks are more standardized but having spent quite a lot of time messing with the PSX and its emulators I can vouch that it's fairly common to find debugging code and strings in production versions. Simply using an emulator to enable the debug UART will spew quite a lot of debug infos for some games.
FFVII has a "debug room" that you can't normally access but is present on retail copies. I also seem to recall that the PC version shipped with full debugging symbols which gave reverse engineers a field day.

I don’t understand- are you saying that if you had a limited government, you could have a situation where the people with the power and the people with the money were different people? Because I feel like that’s not what you’d get. If Emma Goldman and others are correct though, you might get a situation where the both power and money were distributed fairly equally. But they’d still be in the same hands.
For software development jobs across Europe you typically make at least as much or more in cheaper countries, as salaries are not significantly lower. Things are not in your favor for other fields though.

It's flattering to hear that Vilnius is improving and you are enjoying living there.
I see no reason to expect people in lower cost locales to subsidize people in higher cost locales.
> Skin color doesn't always show the battles that people fight against discrimination every day.

But it is the biggest factor. An instant identifier to discriminate against.
All solutions for large scale reduction of CO2 emissions are politically impossible, so some kind of carbon capture is probably the only thing that could save us. It's unlikely to work, but we should at least incentivize trying.

I suggest taxing all fossil fuels sufficient to cause a compounding 10% price rise per year, and applying an equivalent tariff based on estimated embodied energy from fossil fuels to imports from countries that don't apply the same tax. All the money goes into a prize fund, and anybody can claim a share of it in proportion to their share of net CO2 removed from the atmosphere out of the total verified claims of net CO2 removed that year (paying an application fee sufficient to cover third party verification of their claim).

Anybody anywhere in the world can claim, and you could win the entire multi-billion dollar prize with a single gram of carbon if nobody else claimed. This would strongly encourage competition.
I wouldn't leave the mouse to run about, causing trouble in other's yards. Just kill it swiftly.
It really depends on what you mean by "debug code". If you mean special versions of the code built with "-O0 -g" (or the equivalent in whatever compiler/toolchain they're using) then obviously that's going to be a problem. If it's just helper methods like "go directly to section X in the game", "spawn any monster" or "if global variable DEBUG is 1 then log this" then that can easily make it in the final product if they're not optimized away in production builds. Those won't seriously harm performance either, just bloat the binary a little (which will most likely be totally negligible since modern games routinely end up using dozens of GB).
Pycharm is way too intimidating if the goal is to get non-programmers to play with a language. Something more like Swift playgrounds would be a better target
It's the same as hiring an immigrant on US soil. Something companies in the Bay are happy to do, since their hiring can't keep up with their needs.

But for other companies, you can make it easier: just frame it as a freelancer gig.

No worries. PIs do have GPIO pins, and lots of peripherals to plug into them. Nearly Adafruit’s whole product line is about hooking up random peripherals to I/O pins.

And speaking of custom household devices, I’m about to spend $30 or so at Adafruit to build a thing that texts my wife when her outdoor herb pots need watering. :)

You can’t be a manager and a team member. To the direct you’ll always be the boss with a big flashing sign on your forehead.

Your direct is professional with the team and I presume still achieves good results?

Through one on ones don’t bother find out why their behavior is the way it is. You’re not a psychologist. Focus on the behaviors. What they say, how they say it, facial expressions, body language, their actions and work product. Constantly give both positive and negative feedback to gently steer your directs in the right direction. “When you make rude comments like that, it makes me think that you don’t respect me and I hesitate to ask for your input on the direction of the team. Could you please change this?”

One other suggestion is that whenever you offer your directs a choice, your must always be prepared to honour their choice. Never overrule them. If you want input to help you make a decision, make sure you are clear that you aren’t asking them to decide, only to provide an opinion. Build trust by giving choices and then honouring them.

I don't buy Apple products (well not exactly true I have a MacBook but only because I'm forced to use that to build for iOS). But for my app which uses 1st party login or Facebook as an alternative I am now forced to provide Apple login. If Google follows suite I'll be forced to provide Google login on Android, etc. Probably I'll just end up removing all third party login too much of a hassle, although I'll definitely lose users.
Amazing, 46 comments, all about my choosing to use the correct symbol for the macro. It's not like I choose some super misleading Unicode characters, like for example, how macOS smart quotes might change "foo" into “foo”.

Again, technically correct... maybe programming languages should match these kinds of quotes too.

But this is all more or less beside the point. I can type `λ!{x.x}` easily, since I have a Greek keyboard on my system (and a λ on my wrist, and a cat named π).

It's even more of a small deal as I've included the equivalent `abs!{x.e}` and `app!(e1,e2)` macros. In fact `λ!` and `γ!` are just macro "aliases".

Also, given the prominence of α-renaming, β-reduction, and η-reduction, I'm very glad I can use these symbols in Rust.

I’m not going to dismiss this concern out of hand because I feel like it’s a good faith argument. But perhaps we can think a bit farther outside the box. Now, capital is always going to be required for economic activity to take place. Agreed. But I don’t think that whoever manages the allocation of capital needs to be compensated above and beyond what any other laborer doing an equivalently technical job needs to make. And they should be paid for the labor, not for the leverage they have as owners of capital.

How that is to be accomplished is.. complex. But that’s definitely the goal. But let’s not assume that we need some class of people who have the privilege of being the owners of capital.
65,000 feet from a plump looking single prop diesel powered (500hp?) plane seems surprising. For comparison jet airliners top out around 40,000 ft, a F16 fighter 50,000ft+, and a F15 at 65,000 ft with twin jet engines producing up to a few tens of thousands of horsepower.

I wonder how they get that much more perfomance, assuming they do.
Brit living in Vilnius. It's true you don't get many people with dark skin here, but people are friendly and I don't think they would behave that way. They may stop and stare, but it's more out of interest. For context, my wife's grandma lives in a village and has only seen black people on TV.

I have a couple of Indian friends who live here and they don't have any issues. To be honest I'd say this country is more welcoming to foreigners than the UK.
I have spent a few evenings playing with early releases. I like the ‘turtles all the way down’ idea, but I am waiting to see more mature releases. I have spent much more time with TensirFlowJS that works well, has many great examples.
You can avoid the requirement to offer it for three years by shipping the source along with the binary. It's one or the other, not both.
From reading bugzilla, it sounds like this is a bug and is being looked in to.

Humans do the same to animals they don't consider pests, and don't need to be needlessly cruel to, too. Just to get/save a bit more money, which is quite a lot less defendable.

Was not meaning to challenge you or your opinions, just posting a useful link for pricing PC parts. I own macs and self built PCs, there are benefits to both, depending on what you need and want to invest in. Gaming boxes aren’t something most people buy off the shelf and the data grid on that particular site is impressively well presented for a not-corporate endeavor. Not everyone wants to build their own but my early sysadmin career required it, so I am biased and think it’s a really useful tech skill.

Isn't the only difference that you see what happens to the mouse? Spring traps are less effective, but that's only because we don't know how many of them die of infection after running around with half a leg missing for a few weeks.
but those are something you learn for your interest, not something the society has deemed necessary for everyone to know.

school has conflicting goals, you need to help develop both kid with interest in learning and kid that would spend their time in other activities but need to reach the same goals nonetheless

this is definitely not about self improvement.
I love glue traps, but not for rats, for ants.

They are cheap and with just one bottle I can protect lots of trees from ants going up the tree and cultivate and protect aphids.

Without ants to protect them, natural predators just do the work for me controlling the pests.
Because salaries in Lithuania are much lower than in Western Europe (which has much lower salaries than SF).

And no, the lower cost of living doesn't completely offset that. Unfortunately Eastern Europe is still less developed and poorer than the West.

Just to clarify, my understanding of you bio-hacking is that you are "hacking" your body to behave in an certain way.

Some already go that route via Injecting magnets or rfid into their bodies, or take drugs/ micro dose on dubious substances.

CRISPR won't really do much afaik at your age as gene editing for mammals is typically done when when the subject is still a zygote. Though, I haven't kept up with CRISPR to see if there are FDA approved therapeutics using it post zygote. So unless you're typing this question in your mom's uterus as a single cell, or you're looking to create an underground designer baby lab to service billionaires, then CRISPR won't do much.

But if you think you're smarter than the PhDs who spent decades doing this because you can write code, please go on and biohack away. I'll look for your picture in next year's Nobel Prize.

But, if you're interested in doing molecular biology, consider taking a massive pay cut and joining a lab in academia.
I've been to Poland quite a few times (love it!) and, as a mixed race (western european + west african heritage), the worst racist comments and treatment I received was, ironically, from a jewish person in Krakow's jewish quarters - (if he was actually jewish is anyone's guess). I'd agree that it's a generally racist society but I wouldn't go as far as saying super-racist, but then again, I was never spat at. Of course I could come up with dozens of anecdotes, like a woman refusing to shake my hand saying "I don't touch black people" after shaking everyone else's hand in my group, but I'm not comfortable generalising since almost everyone I met was super welcoming and friendly, without a hint of hatred or disgust. Let's not judge a country by a few rotten apples!
