> The problem with recaptcha alternatives is that they either are insecure or require time and money to continue to be ahead of bots.

You're posting this in response to an automated recaptcha solver. Clearly recaptcha also has trouble staying ahead of bots.

It seems to me that any simple automated test at the entrance is inevitably going to be easy to solve by bots, especially when it's a one-size-fits-all test like recaptcha, so bots have only a single target to aim at. A small-scale unique test will be more successful simply for that reason.

But it seems to me that the better way than to ban bots together with humans who fail to pass your Turing test, is to check for the behaviour you want. If you don't want spam, have a system to recognise spamming behaviour, rather than traffic lights.
None-existent, I do sometimes do them or ask people to do them for my code but it's often not pretty. I prefer a sort of pairing where another knowledgeable guy is available throughout the process to bounce ideas off. If you do a code review at the end it's often too late to make meaningful changes.
We shouldn't do anything in any direction without detailed comparisons.

https://www.drawdown.org/ has a big list of things that can be done, with the benefits of each in terms of cost and carbon reduction. It would make most sense to work through the list. If you guessed what number 1 is, you're a smarter human than I am!

IPC varies according to the specific task but Ryzen 1xxx and 2xxx have always had IPC on average comparable to Broadwell CPUs (excluding AVX workloads). So intel has had a slight lead there from Skylake onwards.

According to what we're seeing, the situation seems to be reversed with the 3xxx series, where AMD seems to have a small but significant lead; we'll have to wait for independent benchmarks.

If only we could "incentivize accountability" the way we do it for poor people...
I heard that some are fearmongering that Scala 3 will be as big of the change like Perl 6 and as a result no one will ever use it. I'm not familiar with dotty but somehow it doesn't make sense that Scala core devs would be stupid enough to repeat the same mistakes that Perl did.

HIBP could be an excellent B2B offering for companies. Imagine someone like Microsoft offering it as an addon to their business clients to improve security practices.

Or a more independent company offering it as a standalone service, kinda like Mozilla (Monitor) or even something like Symantec (tho they seem to be bleeding money recently)
I’m not sure how GDPR applies to HIBP. GDPR is all about data that is shared by the user. But HIBP is about data that hasn’t been shared by a user, but rather, is available publicly.

It’s a grey area at the very least.
It's ironic that the "land of the free" is spearheading this change. While renting is justified in some cases, each thing you rent instead of owning means signing a contract to abide by, which severely limits what you can do with an item, and means you have yet another party you're beholden to that you have to keep track of.

For people without a hired person to manage all these subscriptions, I wonder just how cognitively-taxing a rent/subscribe-everything lifestyle would be.
I was just thinking, the only ones I can imagine taking ownership would be one of the "big internet foundations" that have earned their trust: Mozilla, the Internet Archive, Wikimedia, or the EFF. Of those, Mozilla and the EFF are the only ones that make real sense. I hope it's one of them, and not fucking Norton AntiVirus or whatever.
How to Run a Corporate Startup Accelerator
This article is a meta-analysis of various studies on sedentary video gaming and body mass.

It concludes that while "high body mass and obesity are frequently linked to the use of sedentary media, like television (TV) or non-active video games", actual "results do not corroborate the assumption of a strong link between video gaming and body mass as respective associations are small and primarily observed among adults."
But we see that so often. The original founder of a thing has a list of requirements he wants met, he wants to stay onboard. But then stuff happens and the buyer uses his control. Think Instagram, Whatsapp, Tumblr(?) - there are thousand examples.

I'd hope Troy reconsidered the "just create a business yourself" solution. That could be structured in a way that makes sure the trust Troy earned stays linked to the project. And a bootstrapped company starting from the profitable position I assume HIBP is in now (with the business deals) does not at all have to mean more work for him. He could just offload the work he can't handle anymore to employees.

An acquisition to anyone not as trustworthy as the current solution/the candidates like Mozilla mentioned here would be a disaster mid to longterm.
Extremely excited with the release!

I work at a fashion renting company and our backends are built on top of Scala stack.

Contrary to popular belief, Scala is actually quite a simple language. Most of our engineers came from PHP or Python, or Ruby and all have expressed how type safety gave them great assurances that everything works if it compiles.

On top of that the behaviour of the language is very predictable! We almost never use debugger because we can predict quite successfully what went wrong in case of bugs.

Lagom was such a nice framework, coupled with Akka service discovery makes building Event Sourced application so simple.

Certainly you can manage fine. And it gets easier when the kids get older and are more independent.

wouldn't the ideal be that the employee gets to pick his own tools in coordination with the employer. And the "minimum requirements" is often so short sighted, compared to what an employee costs, spending 500 or 1000 Dollar/Euro more on a proper device should be net positive given increased productivity (both from device being more productive and employee being more happy)
It’s a very easy fix, confirm ownership of the email address before exposing the results.

No it isn't. It covers my data no matter how you got it, with a few exceptions.

I guess the trademark issue sits on the downsides column, whilst brand recognition is on the other: your board will have to do a bunch of work to re-establish the recognition they will lose by a name change. Have they properly considered this? Will the board's "trademark issues" time gain offset the extra work of going through name change and brand re-establishment?

SUSE and OpenSUSE gain by the association (I argue), and it is that gain to SUSE, along with perceived OS community support, which is OpenSUSE's leverage to create the relationship it wants with SUSE including license to use the trademark without referral (within sensible limits). If SUSE are being intransigent or controlling, I would agree a renaming is an unfortunate necessity - but it hasn't been shown that they are, so why go through the unnecessary pain?
Facebook is quietly cracking down on ads
I live in the UK. It's cheaper to buy than rent almost everywhere but I never minded that. The main thing that moved me to buy was because the protection for renters is nowhere near as good. I moved on average every 18 months for 10 years because the landlord decided they wanted to sell the place or just wanted me out so they could increase the rent. One landlord didn't even bother with that and just asked if I'd be willing to pay 2x the current rent. If you complain about something being broken, they might fix it or just evict you with 2 months notice.

Now I own my own place and I finally actually have rights and I will choose when I move on.

To clarify I'm obviously saying you need to make your development practices as good as they can be (specification, testing, deployment, dependancies, reviews, documentation etc.) rather than thinking microfrontends will solve your issues. I didn't really mean perfect if you want to be that pedantic.

>>> it's harder to deploy monoliths

Evidence? I argue and have seen repeatedly that duplicating across services/frontends the work of "upgrade paths [...], deprecating packages [...], testing and debugging" as well as styles, databases, configuration, and most importantly transactions/shared state causes all kinds of problems.

You state that everyone chooses a sensible path to splitting up software, I'm saying they don't, they go straight to drinking the whole bottle of cool aid and almost never seem to take reasonable approaches to balance the needs of transactionality or simplicity in their systems and instead go straight to full on architecture astronaughting.

HIBP has little value without Troy, so he has to come as part of the package.

But for his own well-being over time he needs to delegate and divest himself as the single bus factor for HIBP. But that does not have to happen instantly and can be gradual without affecting the value of HIBP (in money and usefulness for us).

Whoever purchases HIBP also knows this. And as with most acquisitions, they eventually oust the founders. But for it to be successful it is after a long time when it has properly matured into an organisation.

I've worked on a distributed team for years, which has been fairly stable. When new people do join, it is a big event. So they want to get to know you, and will likely help this process.

The way it always worked for us was that the hiring manager would announce the arrival of the new person via email. Everyone would email the new person and say hi - those who would work closely with them would email their own intro. And their teammates would probably call them just to say hi. All the new person has to do was sit back, let the intros come in, and respond in kind.

I should add that this wasn't a formal process. It just developed into a part of our culture over the years.

Hopefully, the team you are joining is similarly friendly. (Frankly, it is a red flag if they are not) Remote teams don't get the little face-to-face interactions that co-located teams do, so their phone calls tend to have more non-work talk to make up for it, and you get to know people just by being on the team and communicating.
So, I'm not going to beat around the bush on this one, because just look at the nature of the disease and the premise of the treatment.

Exactly how does the placebo effect work in this situation?

What are the mechanics of the affliction, that we'd have to accept, to even make such a hypothesis of doubt in the treatment plausible?

Both angles of observation get really strange, really fast, and I can only think of one possible truth that the reality of a placebo reveals.

Autism is ostensibly a disease that exists no later than birth, as far as we know. Whatever it is, you won't be affected by any onset after childhood. If you get pst childhood without it, you don't acquire it later on. It doesn't manifest after a certain age. It affects deeply rooted aspects of social behavior, which don't disappear after they form.

So, if the placebo effect cured it, then it has to mean those cured just weren't afflicted.

Meanwhile, we're talking about eating shit. So, it has to mean that we have fakers pretending to be cured, and they change their odd habits after eating shit for multiple months.

It also means that everyone was faking the cure. All of them, because it wasn't real from the start. It was an invented illness.

If the gut flora treatment is invalidated by the placebo effect and patients cure themselves with a sugar pill just as readily as a shit pill, then we have fake patients eating shit, but also are back to square one, and the disease is as incurable as ever, plus lots of people are eating shit, and some were fakers and never autistic.

So, by your theory, we have people trying to sell shit so that it gets fed to people with an incurable disease.

That sobering reality would mean that the people pushing this cure have some hard looks coming their way.
Not to the extent that it is tainted by C's copy-paste compatibility.

Still it does provide a stronger type system, proper string, vectors, reference paramenters and strong type enumerations, to prevent a large amount of C security exploits.

C++ teams that care about security do use such features and respective static analysers on their CI/CD to enforce them.

While it doesn't cover everything, it is much safer than plain C.

Ideally, we will reach a state where both C and C++ get nuked, or ISO C++ just drops its C copy-paste compatibility, which in the end means it is anyway easier to switch to something else.

However that process will take decades, and is hampered by relying on POSIX based systems.
Well the oblivious answer would be Java, but I get that my contempt for it is the only thing causing me to look at Scala and that's by no means universal as most people are pretty happy with the latest versions.
I use Uber/Lyft as a replacement for cabs to/from the airport, but almost all of my other usage of them is in replacement for driving my own car into the city. (In other words, these are trips that I'd otherwise take, but not via taxi.)
I'm not sure that this is necessarily a bad thing if they keep the browser itself free. They are not taking away any existing functionality but building strategic partnerships with third-party service providers to offer premium services. This could work, provided that they choose their partners wisely and don't shove the premium tier down everyone's throat. Firefox needs to find ways to remain relevant in a market increasingly dominated by Google-based technologies and offering privacy-focused services is a good start. They also need an independent revenue stream to ensure they survive the hard times ahead as even Microsoft's browser offering migrates to a Chromium-based stack.

When I was a kid in the 80’s renting home furnishings, driving a taxi on the side, and renting out spare rooms in your house were all very common activities too.

They were generally things people did because they didn’t have stable well paying jobs.

I'm not involved in real estate and agree that the services are over-priced relative to the value. (I have a friend who's an agent; he and I pretty regularly get into it.)

I don't think it's defending the nonsense, but rather explaining that there is some value there and it's not predominantly in filling out paperwork. It's a sales job, selling people the most expensive and leveraged thing they'll ever purchase and the place they're going to live/raise a family, with all the good and bad that comes along with that.

I disagree with you! Looker is more advanced, and that does not mean it is better. Tableau’s tools were MUCH easier for me to make ad hoc analyses with, as well as to create dashboard with. Yes, there were some transformations that I couldn’t apply and had to go to custom SQL or ETL for, but the total time to finish my analyses and produce high-quality live dashboards was much less than with Looker.

(I don’t know why you are being downvoted though, you’re entitled to an opinion same as me)

This is why you shouldn't agree to a rolling tenancy. When the initial tenancy period is over, negotiate for a year or two. Most landlords, in my experience, don't want their houses sitting empty so they're happy to have you on the hook for a year. Although, it depends where you live: I work remotely so I tend to rent in less expensive parts of the country like Devon where there isn't so much volatility in the market.

While I understand what you're saying, I think the distinction is useful because "takeout" has more of a specific meaning and association with more 'casual' food. Whereas these 'delivery only restaurants', or 'dark kitchens' are existing restaurants that people enjoy, but with an offsite, delivery-only location.
Scala 2 and 3 are fundamentally the same language, which weakens the comparability to Perl5 => Perl6. The compiler is new and tooling will change but they do ensure Dotty can handle Scala 2 artifacts.

Scala already doesn't offer binary compatibility between major releases, which in itself is a bit cumbersome but it allows them to innovate the compiler. So the change will not be as drastic as it might look.

In addition, 2.14 is meant to be a release that eases the transition to Scala 3.
I wasn't talking about CPU binning, that's the practice of producing items with variying quality and selling the higher quality parts for a premium.

I'm talking about making 1000 widgets at the same production cost and then making half of them worse (disabling a feature) and selling them cheaper - because it is cheaper to produce 1000 of the same widget than making 500 simple widgets and 500 more complex widgets and sell the complex widget at a premium, and in order to not let the cheap widget cannibalize the sales of the better one, it needs to be made worse after production. This has happened very rarely in the case of CPU's but it's not unheard of, and it's not the same as binning. It's a very valid and very real business strategy for other areas, where it is more common than for CPU's.

Edit: Perhaps a better example for CPU's is making a single CPU die in manufacturing but producing a more expensive enterprise/pro part and a cheaper consumer part, where the difference is disabling some feature (an instruction set extension for example) in microcode.
I have never been a hypercard user but everything I have seen/read about it suggests that it would be a great replacement for my Evernote use case (accessible anywhere personal database of stuff). I have looked at some re-implementations but lack of Linux and/or mobile device (Android) support have ruled out the ones I have seen.
'Delivery-only takeout' would also be self-contradictory, wouldn't it.
Non-FP folks can hate on it because FP is confusing.

Not affiliated in any way but I took it for a spin and was happy to see how much could get done with it in just a few hours and without prior knowledge.
From an outsider perspective (but my last company used Scala heavily), Scala supports nearly every language feature under the sun to the point that idiomatic use of the language is hard to define (unlike say Python, which has very strong idioms).

It seems that if you want a multi-paradigm language, Scala is excellent. But if you just want to go down the functional route or OO route (without overlap), there are arguably better choices.
It's because of the compiler and SBT to be frank. They are very very clunky.

A few differences between Scala2-to-3 and Perl5-to-6 or Python 2-to-3:

* Scala 2.14 and Scala 3 will be binary compatible (via an intermediate form called TASTY)

* The Scala 3.0 compiler will accept most Scala 2.14 source minus some deprecations that have been coming for a while

* Scala is a compiled language and a statically typed one at that, so any source incompatibility or library API incompatibility will be caught by the compiler; fix the issues pointed out and you're migrated.
