> I want to know who betrayed me.

You can run your own email server (or have a company host a private domain for you), set up a catch-all address that only you know, then use a different email address for every site you sign up to. That way you can find out this sort of information.

Using this technique, I know for example that spammers obtained the address I signed up to Stack Overflow with. The email is not shown on my profile now, and I can't rule out that it wasn't ever shown publicly, but evidence suggests they sold my address to spammers. I also know that spammers crawled my website and found a blog post where I stupidly made up a random address using my domain as part of an example for configuring junk filters (the irony is not lost on me).
I got lost at step 3. I wasn't super clear in how we went from line to memoization. Cool article though - I had never thought of plotting before to recognize patterns.

I would add that it's a handicap with no accessibility. Many designs are undertaken with physical handicap, disabilities and disorders in mind. Rarely is shyness accommodated in like fashion or treated as a handicap to be accepted. The prevailing sentiment is that it's a feeling that can be outgrown (eg. we often hear the phrase "don't be shy" as if it's something a person has complete control over).
true, i'd never do a C89 game from scratch as a profesional project, but this is not a profesional project, it's more like a hobby-academic approach to the lower level of game engine design :D

The main ORM in the ecosystem is Diesel[0], which is very usable, though it can be a bit hard to get into due to lack of documentation/tutorials (compared to what people are used to from other ORMs).

It has to be said though, that compared to other ecosystems, less focus is put on ORMs, and more focus is put on the specific database crates (e.g. rust-postgres), and how to make them easy to use without ORMs.

Most orbital calculations are "optimizations." You are looking for either the best time or most efficient orbit that your craft can achieve. Most of the time you are guessing at initial conditions that will produce a desired orbit and then moving down a gradient to a local optima.

Other times you are looking to predict the velocity and position of an orbital body at a certain time. Since there are many large planets in the solar system this requires non-linear differential equations that can only be solved (at this time) using an approximate calculation using methods such as the Euler or Runge-Kutta method in a computer.

From a technical standpoint, I don't understand why the adtech companies don't just serve ads via APIs consumed by website owners, and served to clients via the primary domain. This seems like it would obviate current adblocking and third-party cookie blockers.

It would add a bit of technical complexity for site owners, but that seems manageable, particularly for b2b relationships.

Obviously, I hope this doesn't happen, but it seems like an obvious strategy and I don't see the flaw.

I wouldn't decide for organic because of that.

Like I said in another comment in this thread, organic farming still uses pesticides, just not the synthetic ones.

In my opinion as a farmer, the foundational principle of Organic Farming is not a path towards better farming practices, but one that divides what is supposedly natural and organic, and what is artificial and synthetic.

This has more to do with a romantic ideal of purity regarding agriculture and food production than guiding farming with principles of science-based agronomy or efficacy/efficiency decision making.
But passively reading the news and feeling like crap aren't going to stop anything either.

It seems more would be done if local news, or even just having a conversation with a friend were the primary way of obtaining information.

I would venture a guess that you're more likely to pursue a cause if it directly affects your community or someone you know and love thinks it's important, than you are just by reading something on the internet.

Use profile matters a lot. Leaving one of these one 24/7 is a noticeable amount of juice; turning one on for a few hours every few days is probably lost in your noise floor of all the other things you're doing. You also have to consider the processing cost for recycling and the displacement of the new machine and all of its processing and production costs to the environment. You probably do come out environmentally ahead in a lot of scenarios if you take account of the whole picture as a result.

This is interesting but suffers from not being written by native speakers. For example this section is unclear

"Firstly, we obtain a visual memory by aggregating the knowledge from both head and tail classes. Then the visual concepts stored in the memory are infused back as associated memory feature to enhance the original direct feature. It can be understood as using induced knowledge (i.e. memory feature) to assist the direct observation (i.e. direct feature)."

What is a "visual memory?" Are they talking about a learned feature space? An architecture isn't even mentioned. The word "infused" is used repeatedly in the post but isn't well defined. Do they mean that there is a concatenation of vectors? Or, from the diagram, is there an attentional weighting mechanism in play?

I'm sure I'll understand more when I read the paper, but this blog post doesn't have the intended effect reaching a broader audience through the use of plain language.
A lot of books on programming revolve around using them to make games. I remember the first coding book I picked up about Visual Basic was leading up to building a small game with it. I think there is a lot for classrooms to gain by following a similar structure.

BrentOzar gives a great answer about financial/legal issues, and sytse gives another great answer about investor risk. I'll add some thoughts from a more "down in the trenches" (and ten-year remote developer) perspective.

First, remote work just isn't for everyone or for every situation. Some people thrive on frequent interaction with others, and just don't have the same energy when they have less. Some get outright depressed. Teaching/mentoring also requires frequent interaction, which is an issue for a team with a lot of new people. Sometimes online interaction is an adequate substitute. Sometimes it's not. Also, some people simply don't focus as well and let themselves get distracted too much when they can't literally see and hear others working around them.

Second, dealing with remote workers requires a change of habits that many find unwelcome. You have to write more and speak less. When you do speak via phone or VC, you have to learn new conversational protocols. Our subconscious protocols for when it's OK to start speaking and when to listen tend to break down a bit especially with high delay or poor connection quality, so people have to work a bit to make sure everyone gets their say.

Anyone who works remotely also has to be hyper-aware of time zones. If folks on the US west coast never want to meet before lunch, it's going to cause friction with people on the east coast who would rather not have meetings after 5pm almost every day. Similarly, if those west-coasters like to do solo work at the beginning of the day and collaborative work at the end (a common pattern for reasons I don't fully understand) they're going to hit that full-day round trip latency for questions and code reviews more often. And that's all with only a three-hour difference. In general, it gets even worse when larger differences are involved.

I've been working remotely for a decade. It works for me largely because of how I am and because I very actively try to teach my colleagues about how to make it work. Sometimes it barely works, and I wouldn't count on it working for a different person or a different team/project.

Largest Free Trade Deal in Quarter-Century Seeks to Make Africa a Single Market
You're engaging in one-bit reasoning where longevity treatments are either a magic fountain of youth, stopping aging and disease completely, or they don't work at all. But how can we know how well they will work?

I think it's more likely that the first ones could add years or decades of life without being nearly that good, and perhaps still having significant side effects or just not affecting some aspects of aging. If so, difficult decisions about what to do when closer to death won't go away.
Can you provide any support to the claim that mind is "n dimensional"? My understanding is that findings in grid cells research suggest that brain's mechanism to deal with spatial information is exactly "3-dimensional", i.e. optimized to handle our real world space. Which kinda makes sense from the evolutionary perspective.

That's why even a simple attempt to "understand" 4-dimensional object wreaks havoc in your mind, and we have to reduce it to some sorts of 3D projections or explain it with math formulas.

Are they doing anything with the email addresses beyond checking they appear in breach databases ? Are they anonymizing things, for example using some kind of one-way hash to match email addresses ? Is it GDPR-compliant ? There is not clear explanation of how they're processing that data as there should be as email addresses are personal information.
I disagree. If anything, they should have tested Obj-C and Swift. I would also have liked to see Scheme, Common Lisp, or something else lisp-y besides Clojure. Kotlin would have been interesting. R or Mathematica would have been fun, too.

I guess it just comes down to needing a sufficiently large corpus of code and commits and having to eventually publish.

> But if the semantics of the communication are intimate enough, exchanging complex internal data structures, that too could be a basis to consider the two parts as combined into a larger program.

All of macOS, since 10.0, is built on ever-more-interlocking systems of ‘intimate’ communication. As upthread points out, there’s a hardware chip that uses IPC to interlock with SIP to protect system files. The depth of IPC used to deliver a Macintosh appears to qualify the entire shipping OS for the “larger program” clause.

Setting IPC aside, it’s still easy to construct a case against GPLv3: If bash is included in an operating system release that can be downloaded like any other program on the Mac App Store, then it’s absolutely plausible to a layperson that the inclusion of GPLv3 in that program would - like any other program - infect it in its entirety with GPLv3’s copyleft requirements. macOS isn’t an aggregate software repository to its users, and a judge could easily be convinced to agree.

I’m not Apple’s lawyer, but I hope this helps convey what I imagine is part of their reasoning against it.

Fully disagree and your opening line is a little bit patronising. Let me try the same!

Presumably the pro-remote crowd are working for tiny little companies where their engineering teams, product managers, data scientists, comms people, etc all fit in the same diddy little office.

But projects can easily get to a size where you need to:

- Collaborate with various government departments

- Work with people in other suppliers

- Work with people across an international supply chain

- Gather requirements because what you have is fairly vague (isn't this every project ever?)

While local work can still work in these cases, it's much, much harder. It's even harder when you have to fly people across time zones.

Look, this is all silly IMHO - it doesn't have to be this way.

The company I work with is setup for remote first, employees get a rundown of how we use tooling to solve all the communication issues that could arise. You can even sit in voice conference with other devs so you can actually hear each other swearing at code - if you choose to. But if people want to colocate the company will pay for them to have office space in a WeWork or similar.

FWIW, I make 4x working remote what I ever did for a local company. And the work is more interesting. Accept that!

My parents have lived in a gem of a town outside of the US for 20 years. About 15 years ago it started to pop up in top 10 lists and the last 10 years has exploded with tourism.

What used to be an extremely affordable, beautiful, and pleasant place to live and mix with the local culture is now gone.

It went from a beautiful town to Disney Land. A gigantic party city. Insane hour long lines of cars to get into the town on weekends. Real estate blew up and gigantic hotels are being built, all the homes in the center are owned by rich people from other countries as speculative investments. Tons of new bars and restaurants have opened but few of them by locals. Rich business owners from other places come in droves looking for more growth to extract money. Most people demand USD for rent or real estate deals and not local currency now, many businesses use foreign payment services for credit cards and the money never flows into the town.

Crime has greatly increased with all the money floating around. Home burglaries, car jackings and street muggings are common everyday of the week anytime of the day.

There have been some improvements from the tourism and a few hundred local families (out of the 100,000 locals that live there) have done well selling the homes their families have owned for generations. Now they can’t afford to live in the center and have to live in the outskirts.

Gone are the local restaurants, pushed out by high rents or because the owners sold the buildings, replaced by generic tourist traps pushing cheap alcohol and over priced food.

The local water supply has been drained, utilities cannot keep up with waste and demand, corruption for permits and zoning changes is rampant.

Literally thousands of homes in generic housing developments are being built in the surrounding countryside. Cheap build profit extracting developments solely to make money as the water table continues to drain lower and lower.

The only thing that has some what saved the city is lack of an airport being close by. Closest is 1.5 hours drive. But another rich entrepreneur is looking to bring a new runway in that is long enough for private jets.

That’s when it will officially be over.

An influx of money benefits everyone, but it’s also at the expense of the city. Is that worth it? I think what bothers me the most is seeing thousands of people crowd the central square and take the same photo of the church over and over and over and over. It’s within everyone’s right, rich or poor to be in that square. No one owns a city, except when the money starts coming in, and then money owns it.
Data Dojo: an interactive playground for manipulating data
We’re a remote first company at Out Of Office, though we’re still small (less than 10 employees). It’s the first remote job I’ve had as a software engineer and I find that I’m more productive than I’ve ever been. I have my days where I can’t concentrate but for the most part I’m able to get more done.

We err on the side of too many meetings because we don’t have the luxury of in person conversations, but we encourage people to speak up when the meetings aren’t productive. We also encourage having meetings just to socialize to avoid feeling lonely or get to know each other better. We hold standups on Monday/Wednesday/Friday so Tuesday/Thursday we’re just heads down getting stuff done unless there’s a meeting.

We’re building a product for people we want (or already have) location flexibility so we’re practicing what we preach in a sense. We believe the future of work may not be 100% remote but companies will become location flexible, meaning they still encourage employees to work in office but give them one or two flex days to work from home, a coffee shop, or shared workspace.

The benefits to the employee are quite obvious—greater flexibility in the schedule and they’re able to take care of life events like kids, doctor appointments, running errands, etc.

The benefits to the employer have been shown that it increases employee retention. 84% of workers want location flexibility[1] and companies that support remote workers have 25% lower turnover[2].

I've had that experience when there are two teams each colocated but remote from each other. They tended to build their own culture and that quickly becomes us and them. I've had great results when there was one hub and a lot of individuals working from home. We shared a culture. My guess is that an entirely remote team would work well too.
