> I don't care for most dubbed shows

I don't know of any show on Netflix that I've watched that has an audio dub but doesn't also have the original language available as an alternative audio track. What are you watching?
4chan isn't unfiltered. Every community has its culture with its accepted norms and taboos, to say nothing of the requirement of any site on the open web to ban illegal content like child porn, and many like 4chan which also ban threats of violence and brigading. The boards on 4chan aren't immune to this simply because they don't use dedicated accounts. Not every board is /b/, and even they have their limits.

Having a high tolerance for vulgarity and dank Nazi memes is not the same as having open discussion or tolerance for opposing points of view. People who rally behind sites like 4chan, Voat and Gab in the name of "free speech" just want to be able to shitpost hate in comfort without consequence - they want their own filter, not freedom, certainly not for anyone who disagrees with them.
What irks me the most is when I search verbatim for the name of something, and it's on the 3rd page of results, hidden by completely unrelated stuff.
Not sure why you're being downvoted, in many cases this is the best solution. At the very least you can start looking for a plan B if you think your company is dysfunctional. Better to leave early, than to burn out while clenching your teeth through months of pointless meetings (or to be fired for being a jerk if you eventually crack).
More likely from developers who hate to identify as developers because developers like to focus on development problems without empathy for the end result.

Reddit addresses 'stalking' by ending anonymous user follows
Netflix is just getting more expensive and less interesting to me. With all of the content I like being taken off to be hosted on network exclusive streaming platforms that I refuse to pay for - I'll probably eventually just cancel Netflix as well going back to the tried and true method of just buying bluray box-sets of the content I want to watch.

Or piracy.

I think the critical mistake that all these megacorps are making is that people don't actually want to pay for a bazillion streaming services. That's the reason we cut the cord in the first place. People hated being locked into packages and this is basically the same thing - you need the "NBC" package for The Office or the "CBS" package for Star Trek. I can't be bothered to spend all that money.

Netflix was worth it because it made accessing so much content easier than piracy, but with everything getting pushed into a walled garden "package" approach again...piracy will be easier again.

I get HD over the air with less than a dozen chanels, and that's often enough to keep me distracted if I'm not feeling up to playing a videogame or watching a movie.
Do you restore to prod? Or to Non-Prod and compare to prod?

The similarity (referenced by the Wikipedia article) to technical debt was what I'd been thinking. More generally, markets and social-political systems have trouble recognising long-term risks and liabilities generally.

Both are forms of debt.

True, but most other industries have effective, scalable mechanisms to clamp down on such blatant fraud and dishonesty; health care in the US just isn't using the appropriate mechanisms, it seems.

Like a basic one I see lacking is, checking the patient him/herself. I have never gotten contacted for any kind of follow up about "did you actually receive this health care", which would eliminate fraud related to the tummy tuck/C-section you mention.

Or why aren't they keeping track of that person that's constantly calling the ambulance?

Furthermore, where is the crushing power of the state to recover from such people? If you find systemic fraud, why aren't the regulators able to recover a big chunk of the money?
Agree. I'd rather have safe/secure over speed in this case.
Daily news: Links without href attributes, CSS line clamping widely supported
I get it. I'm a consultant, so I'm familiar with code bases that are a little...well-worn.

If the business decides the risk is acceptable, then that's fine. As an engineer, you're supposed to communicate and document the risks associated with technical decisions. After that, if your employer decides Technology X.Y is good enough, then accept it and move on. You made your case, and the business considered it and made a choice.
Folks should also periodically get fingerprints of sites they often use and keep logs of them, so that you might notice if something changes.

example:

openssl s_client -servername www.paypal.com -connect www.paypal.com:443 < /dev/null 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -fingerprint -noout -in /dev/stdin
SHA1 Fingerprint=E8:20:7A:27:8C:BE:D4:D9:7F:44:32:89:E7:6B:13:DD:CE:58:50:F6

Perhaps put all the sites you visit into a text file and loop through them into a date based file or append with date stamps. If enough people did this, you could probably even spot when an entire region is doing something shady or a company was potentially compromised.

Not OP but the list I had from a year ago, didn’t support all multi az (only 2), lack of admin features meant it broke and you could work out what happened, limited choice of instance type, the backup happened once a day regardless if you needed it and it had issues under load.

The backup issue has been resolved I believe but the others...

On AWS I’d suggest elastic on ECS and you can use the leftover compute on the cluster to run other applications effectively for free.

It's interesting how the word 'man' has become a gendered term. Sometimes it does mean 'male human', but it obviously does not in many cases unless you are determined to take offense and apply a wooden, literalness to it. The word cannot defend itself so becomes an easy target for those who want to virtue signal.

Even if you aren't trying to disguise anything, adding some randomness helps avoid one particular bad pattern with operations on a network. I recall the pattern being called "network synchronization" but I can't get good search results for that.
My problem with Netflix isn't the slate of shows and movies it has in its catalog. It's definitely not as nice as it used to be, but there are a jillion and a half shows and movies out there.

My problem is that Netflix has taken note that we watch anime a few times a week, which doubtless means we want every single band/carousel/whatever to be about anime. New Anime, Critically Acclaimed Anime, Popular Anime, Watch it Again Anime, Anime Where Characters Wear Hats, Anime Where Characters Float in Hats, and Anime About Hat Making.

For the love of all let me get some other options in the fucking list before I lose my mind. I like comedies, action movies, sci-fi, documentaries, and historical dramatizations or historical fictions too, you know. Not everything has to have a talking cat in it.

>There is some good modern medicine, but the fixation on genes handicaps certain investigators.
This isn't medicine - this is science. This isn't the development of a treatment but an attempt to understand biology.

Genes are useful because they are far more fixed and they are far easier to measure than many other things that could be measured.

>"I think they’re trying to say “it’s not the mother’s fault the kid just has bad genes.”

They're saying non genetically inherited material, such as mRNA or proteins, from the mother was shown to have little impact in their study.

> In the real world there are non-genetic causes behind almost all of the symptomatic presentations of children medically-cursed with the diagnosis of “Autistic”.

The causal nature of any complex biological state such as ASD is almost always varied and emergent from many sources and attempting to understand them is useful. It is especially useful to look at genetics because it is (relatively) cheap to get a person's genetics and painless - whereas studying the microbiome is much more difficult and expensive. even the review paper you link to - which has precious little actual research on autism and the microbiome stating

>And in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), there are hints that the gut microbiome may play a role. Studies of fecal DNA extracts have found Clostridium or Desulfovibrio clusters over-represented in children with gastrointestinal complaints and ASD as compared to children with similar GI complaints but typical neuro-behavioral development32–34. Furthermore, clinical improvement has been reported anecdotally in children with ASD who develop fever35, receive oral antibiotics36, or ingest probiotics37, all of which are likely to alter the gut microflora. While these initial studies are promising, they suffer from small sample sizes, in part due to the laborious, conventional, culture-dependent techniques used to identify bacterial species
By good and easy to do point- something as simple as size will help but a diff between backups would tell much - i had not thought of that - then again it comes for free in something like tarsnap

At this point it is very tempting to go back to good, old-fashioned torrents of TV shows.

By "amoral" I don't mean immoral, I mean you don't care what anyone does and you're happy not knowing the consequences of your actions.

Depending on what you're providing, maybe that's fine. In the open source world, we give away code all the time, to everyone. Most public reading material is fine.

But services differ and for some services of interest to bad actors, many people are concerned about the consequences when they do business.
I'm a React Developer that uses Vim, and whilst I have reduced my .vimrc down a lot since I started playing with vim, I still use about 15 plugins such as Deoplete, tern, ale, fzf, a language pack (I'm always messing around learning new languages), and then a selection of Tim Pope addons.

At 120 lines, I consider my .vimrc quite light.. Although I'm not sure what others will think.

People hate it but it obviously works, otherwise they would not be doing it. What you need is a religion (or some other sort of huge corporation or union of people) around consuming content that everyone religiously follows that forces the corporations hands.

On my system, the gzip binary is 100KB and my zstd binary is 1.0MB. There are a number of reasons for this:

- By default, the Zstd binary has a lot of additional functionality that gzip doesn't. For example: Zstd includes benchmarking capabilities, the ability to train compression dictionaries, support for legacy (pre-1.0) formats, etc. You can strip all that stuff out with compile flags, and the binary gets a lot smaller.

- Zstandard tries to cover a much wider range of compression speeds than zlib does. To do this, the Zstd compressor actually has eight or so different LZ match-finding implementations under the hood (which get inlined in various ways, resulting in >100 actual versions in the binary), and 5+ different entropy encoding implementations.

For really size-conscious use-cases (like decompressing Zstd content in a mobile app), you can get a minimal Zstd decompressor library down to ~30KB.
>Your description doesn't really sound like any actual city that I know of, ... Do you have a particular city in mind?

Actually, it sounds a whole lot like the Phoenix metro area. Atlanta, SLC, and most of LA probably qualify too.

>Because "car-centric and pedestrian hostile" sounds more like most suburbs than most urban areas.

Most American "cities" really are more like suburbs, when you compare to real cities in other countries. Especially the cities which grew up after cars became popular. These cities were never very pedestrian-friendly. Phoenix is probably the poster child for this. The amount of sprawl there is ridiculous, and there's really no place that's pedestrian-friendly, just because everything is so far apart that it would take forever to get to your destination on foot, even though sidewalks generally do exist.
Personally I don’t care about this data. I am simply concerned it’s going to be interpreted incorrectly. Doing this kind of data analysis with just metadata is hard, and it’s really easy to make major mistakes.
Even this link isn't working for me, unfortunately. Something's up with archive.org.
Also math programming; the computer algebra systems are all late-binding.

There are two reasons:

1. The users do a ton of work in a REPL of some sort. Jupyter for Python, R and Matlab have a notebook scheme, as do the CAS's.

So it's common to be running an environment where everything is reified at runtime anyway.

2. Polymorphism without generics. It's bloody hard to implement generics, and dynamic types let you ignore them entirely.

It's also very easy to get it wrong and very hard to make it understandable by a wide range of users.

And to counter a reason to make them early-binding:

Performance this is much less of a problem than you might expect in these domains, because scientific work is often dealing with big matrices and such, and you can heavily optimize those operations.
Second this! My gf used to do part-time work (before she started her residency) for a couple of doctors doing mostly data entry works (to eClinicalWorks and whatnot). She would always tell me how these doctors instructed her to add more diagnosis codes so that they can get paid more (esp. from medicaid/medicare patients).

My host family father is a doctor in the US. He said to me once something like, "Be prepared to be scammed by people whether it is a brain surgeon or a carpenter. Never ever trust the original price they quote on you and be critical of their output."

Have you seen how pharma reps treat doctors? I have. Hundreds of dollars worth of dinners/lunches (one of the dinners my gf and I were invited to, it served unlimited Wagyu beef for bbq; of course, we had to sign in before the dinner). I am disgusted by how cozy the relationship between pharma companies and docs are.

The more I talk to and observe doctors, pharma and healthcare industry in general, the more I lose respect to the parties involved (of course, there are a few respectable professionals, but they are a minority because of the sheer amount of money to be made in that industry).
Not the GP, but:

> Just out of general interest, do you watch foreign TV and movies at all then? If not, why?

Because it's an additional barrier to enjoyment.

Dubs are irritating and often lose cultural context. From your post I think we're in agreement there.

Subs mean I have to watch intently, I can't cook dinner/play a video game/clean the house/fold laundry while I'm listening and glance over at the screen every few seconds. And I don't spend much time doing nothing but watch TV, unless it's a show I really care about. Stranger Things 3 got my uninterrupted attention this last week.

I'm not against watching foreign media, but it's a negative modifier to my chances to watch it. If I get a recommendation from someone I trust, I'm much more likely, but then I have to set aside time to do nothing but watch it.

As a side note, if I get a recommendation from someone with an anime avatar, I'm much less likely to watch it. I don't care that "it's not a 12 year old girl, it's a 500 year old dragon that looks like a 12 year old girl." It's still creepy.
You left out the biggest part of full disclosure in my opinion. The reason for full disclosure is because those who are affected by a security flaw in a product they are using have a right to know about the dangers of that piece of software.

But once I put that down in writing I discovered you are right about the difference in this instance.

The person who has the right to know about the flaw in this instance is the list of people whose accounts were compromised. Giving it to the general public is to further victimize them, rather than help them protect themselves.

I find myself browsing Netflix but not finding anything interesting. Old movies and low-quality content.
I am deleting the subscription.
Is it that people don't know what they want to watch? Or is it that what they want to watch isn't in the netflix catalog. 9/10 times I have a specific movie or show in mind that I want to watch and I search for it on netflix it tells me it is only available to be shipped via DVD or bluray and its not available in their online catalog.

Maybe if they spent less money on trying to develop their own content and more money licensing the best content to come out over the past 30 years then there would be more engagement. The percentage of the top 1000 or so movies as rated on IMDB or Rotten tomatoes that is NOT on netflix is staggering.

When we all bought into the concept of netflix a decade or so back it was on the premise of all-you-can-eat on demand access to the largest/most inclusive catalog of movies and shows anywhere. They long ago ditched that model and they are suffering as a result.

It's not even that you can't get the latest blockbusters, its that you can't get most highly rated movies from ANY of the last 3-4 decades. But movies rated 5/10 or lower? Seems like they've managed to license just about every one of those. Bleh.
Perhaps they are measuring engagement in some perverse way.

There is no 'modern' note taking app remotely as capable as Org-Mode. That said, there's a tradeoff to be made as to use Org-Mode effectively is a project in itself (check out a couple of youtube videos on it).

For example you might want to measure several reactions such as: interesting, funny, angering and sad.

Slashdot does that. To vote for a post you have to pick an adjective. I always thought it worked well, because it showed what kind of content would be valued. For example "funny" is an adjective you can pick, which signals the site valued funny comments. I had some great laughs reading it back in the day.
