That Polytomous is a magnificent troll. They acknowledge the code is awful in their fork's README. Also, their prose is much clearer and more comprehensible in the same README. They must have been putting on a character in that thread.

I highly recommend "Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess" (by, duh, Bobby Fischer). A diagram on every page, with the solution on the next. Cool format: you get to the back of the book, turn it upside down, and work to the front. First few pages get in the basic moves, then on to simple checkmates, then more complexity.

Another great diagram-heavy book but for intermediate to advanced is Lev Alburt's "Chess Training Pocket Book".
I expect it was because they considered Lisp "old" and that employers might also.
As a relatively ancient gamer with fond memories of shareware, I think it was the right solution for that time, but the time has passed. Remember that with shareware, distribution was often literal “sharing” of physical copies - almost all shareware I played came from clones of friend’s 3.5inch floppies. If you liked the game enough you often phoned the company to get the full game. This organic sharing process was critical to the shareware model at that time in an age when few household computers were connected to a network of any kind.

Now with widespread internet access shareware as physical distribution just doesn’t matter anymore, and we have a wealth of ways to determine if a game will be something you like - countless review sites, YouTube, Reddit, etc, etc.

Shareware arguably just doesn’t work all that well either in such a crowded modern gaming marketplace. There are thousands upon thousands of indie releases every year now, compared to the relatively trickle we got in the peak shareware days. With the extensive support tail modern software typically has (no more ship it and it’s done really, especially with network features...) the large number of players who would never upgrade to the paid version would still be a significant expense to support in many cases too. Commander Keen never had to worry himself with online cheat patches...

I think a much more convincing argument can be made that the shareware business evolved into the F2P nonsense we have now - it’s like shareware but without the hurdle of extracting money by a traditional up front price that better fits, rightly or wrongly, the current consumer expectations of software pricing.

It's true, but this was brought up as an anecdote/parallel.

Attributes in html have no fixed order, and neither do constants in a class file. There are multiple ways to reorder them that help out or hinder DEFLATE.

And also I was compressing the hell out of JAR files because they were going onto an embedded device, so 2k actually meant I could squeeze a few more features in.

A bit pedantic, I guess. I interpret the title as "getting deep in debt to continue living like someone in middle class"
He said his comment is worthless (in a truly medical way), so I don't see the point in your comment.

Fwiw I found his comment to be interesting conjecture. I too have many dopamine related issues and until we have a better true understanding, all we can do is hypothesize and guess based on the small bits we do know.
So they're going to bank on the $60k desktop or the $4k laptop vs. the $1500 phone?

I guess there's always beats with $300 headphones too.
This is an incorrect statement to make with the red hot jobs market that we have now. Extremely low unemployment, sky high salaries in a typical H1B sector - tech.

It has rarely been easier to get a job than it is now.
Yes. Now I can finally script shell and terminal colors changes for day/night/late night. Tmux and status bar control API should let me get all the magic out of Zsh prompt.
I was always intrigued with Sqwiggle, though I didn't have a chance to use it. I was sad to see they weren't able to make it.

One interesting feature they had was low-fi video (grainy black and white, very low framerate), with the same basic idea as knowing what app you are in: a chance to see whether you were at the computer, and maybe a little hint at your mental state, but maybe not too intrusive. But I don't know how it acted in practice. They had complete drop-in, but I like your one-sided-talk-first.

Another interesting feature might be something like a I'd-like-to-know-when-you-see-this-page. E.g., as a developer I might submit a PR, and I want to know when you start reviewing it. I'd "mark" the page somehow and it would be a little like having a watchword on Slack or IRC. It wouldn't have to be intrusive, as it could be as simple as a popup when the other person visits the page, telling them their coworker was interested when they started looking at it, and OK/cancel to inform them.

>We have been told to get a good education, to get a good job and to live happier every after.

This sentiment seems very US specific (maybe 1st world). My background is ahem classic western 1st world culturally, but grew up in a 3rd world country. And for me that cliched recipe worked exactly like it says on the tin. Even with a 3rd world university name on my CV I'm comfortably competitive globally. So when I read the US guys struggling I'm left a little puzzled. Not arrogant enough to assume I'm better so this smells like a country-structural issue.

Which to me suggests the 1st world countries have moved into a post uni-edu era if that makes sense?
I held at the iPhone 7 until the XR. I didn't actually need to upgrade, but I knew I wouldn't upgrade to whatever they released this year if 5G and other nice hardware things were coming next year.

The 7 is fine. Went to my partner, could've gone to my teenager, but he's not interested in a phone.

The question I've asked myself a bunch of times in the past and which could be super relevant next year: if there's a 120hz iPad with 5G, I could absolutely live with that as my only device.

I barely want a phone these days and work hard not to pull it out. I do use it for running though (heart rate band). Easily replaced by something else, but I definitely don't want to just buy gadgets on an annual basis anymore.
I'm only a middling chess player, but:

> (Though I have a suspicion that it's a question of ‘rinse and repeat until I remember all the openings anyway’.)

Its not that. There's a lot of interesting principles to learn, after 'how the pieces move', without just learning openings.
Most people will say not to focus on openings until you are at least intermediate.

Most chess books will do what you ask, just Google for recommendations and reviews.

Stateless | Boulder, CO | Onsite | stateless.net

Stateless is on a mission to reinvent network connectivity. Central to that was our initial innovation, where we demonstrated an ability to efficiently decouple state from processing in network functions—a task deemed infeasible in high-performance networking systems, but in doing so, we have opened the door for fundamentally changing how networks are built. Now, we are building the product around that vision. VCs have backed us, and early adopters have validated the business opportunity.

We are hiring for a variety of roles: from C++ and Kotlin developers to sales and support engineers.

Jaywalking appears to be a crime (misdemeanor) in some jurisdictions. If you pick someone from those jurisdictions... chances are good that they've jaywalked at some point. Doesn't mean a Congress investigating you would ever find evidence on it, or that it would care even if it did, but it does make it more likely that the statement that everyone commits a crime is true. Right?

I grew up in Hawaii.

"Da kine" was routinely used for objects, moods, foodstuffs, notions of any kind that the speaker was just too lazy or sophisticated to be bothered about thinking of the name of, or of saying out loud. It was a way of transferring responsibility for communication from the speaker to the listener. As such, using it also asserted authority, whether legitimate or (most commonly) just assumed.
You just expelled every family with a mortgage or a car payment or a student loan from the middle class. You also radically redefined the concept of "middle".

Depends how you take the sum!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divergent_series#Absolute_conv...

[edit] See my comment below: my joke is about the fact that, depending on the order in which you sum an infinite sequence of waveforms, you can create a sequence that converges to any sound you want [1] (as long as those waveforms together span the full frequency space). Note also that a sum over a truly continuous space of arbitrary waveforms is even more ill-defined.

So, I wanted to know what happened to this person that ordered the shocks. Who's "THE COURT"? I assume the judge, but there are multiple judges listed in that document.
It's absolutely unbelievable that something like this could occur in modern society. It makes me fearful for the future, not convinced that we are much more advanced than aggressive apes. The way everyone else in the court just ignores the man is like something out of my worst nightmare of the Milgram experiment. Despicable.
Nothing. The problem here was not the waf, but the credential/role being compromised.
Two of the writers are Henry Kissinger and Eric Schmidt... that's a pretty odd combo and a bit terrifying that two people that love to abuse power are trying to make a PSA on AI.

If you aren't familiar, Kissinger orchestrated a large amount of war crimes by getting Nixon to carpet bomb Cambodia during the Vietnam War, and Eric Schmidt runs alphabet/google and was been heavily involved in both the Obama and Clinton campaigns. He likely leveraged Google's resources to do so, which was not illegal but incredibly shady if you ask me.

They are both Bilderberg NWO types that seem to be involved in all sorts of nefarious things, and it is pretty strange that they would work together publicly and write an article like this.
Yes! Commuting is also really dangerous too.
As I said, the zero-calorie stuff uses artificial sweeteners, which is just as unhealthy and likely to cause diabetes as the stuff loaded with sugar.

Not sure I see what do you mean by "artificial" here. Making extracts from stevia is not more artificial then from sugarcane. What is more (un)healthy is still matter of gathering data, but it doesn't make an argument in either case. The argument is that you are not obliged to buy soda, as you are not obliged to put sugar to your food, and drinks. As well you are not obliged to drink alcohol for which WHO says there's no safe dose - unlike sugar. And which if we stick to your reasoning should be prohibited in the first place. But wait... does it sound as if it was tried already?

I don't know why you're arguing about this, because it's a simple fact.

I don't know too, because I'm nor arguing about exactly that. I suggest you to look at my previous comment again, you probably glanced over it too quickly.
Hey, you should hit me up. I'm in CVO and work for a company whose name rhymes with on-him glacial (also CVO). Are you yourself in Corvallis?

I came to a realization on this subject while visiting Las Vegas: Pragmatically, a maximally high trust society and a maximally low trust society permit the same behavior patterns. In Las Vegas casinos, which are low trust and have high surveillance, one can comfortably leave tens of thousands of dollars or more on a gaming table while one goes to use the bathroom or whatever. In a hypothetical high trust low surveillance environment one could do the same.

The difference is, we know how to engineer for low trust and high surveillance. We don't really know how to engineer for high trust and low surveillance. So our practical choices are to either live in a low trust low surveillance society and having to constrain ourselves as that requires, or to live in a low trust high surveillance society that simulates a much more pleasant high trust society.
As a beginner trying to learn to program a long time ago, rails was possibly the worst resource I attempted to use. You follow a complicated, tutorial to set everything up so you can actually start. Then you type a few words and then a bunch of complicated looking files are generated automatically in a way that it's hard for a beginner to even know what sections he's supposed to be able to understand.

Maybe it clicks for some, but I had a better time starting with HTML/CSS and then learning JavaScript before moving on to Python.

Résumé/CV:
1 year of office management doing invoicing, customer service, payroll, etc. for a door and window installation contractor that worked with one of the largest home improvement retailers.
1 week customer service for a law firm (The business shuttered exactly one week after I was hired)

1 year doing customer service/payment processing at call centers that handled things like customer satisfaction for multiple home alarm companies, processing payments for 3 of the big 4 cellular companies, and taking orders for the majority of the largest broadband providers.

1 year of (inbound) sales for home foreclosure listings and police auto auction listings.

(Off and on) About ten years tutoring/editing/providing feedback on essays, one Masters' thesis, website copy, a (yet unpublished) book about patients' relationships with practicioners and how it impacts health outcomes, etc. Pretty much anything you can think of when it comes to written English, I've probably helped somebody improve an example of it.

(Also off and on) About 15 years of helping elderly/non-technically inclined people do basic things like troubleshoot their computers or set up simple websites for themselves.

Most recently: Did all of the copy for a southern California food delivery business, which worked quite well. I am also finishing up the copy for a more premium offering for the same business under another banner.

I am aware that my resume isn't quite spectacular because for a number of reasons, I have had many significant challenges establishing a clear career path in a corporate environment. For this reason, I am happy to accept minimum wage or thereabouts, as I suppose everyone needs to start from the bottom sometime.

Ideally, with my excellent communication skills, I am seeking work in a customer service, clerical work, copywriting role, or something in that area.

Anyway, thanks for reading!
The local variable names look like the code was decompiled with ILSpy.
All the magic numbers probably (hopefully?) were constants in the original code.
The crazy indentation looks like the decompiler just doesn't use "else if".
The goto's were just old ILSpy versions being bad at control flow reconstruction.

But neither the C# compiler nor the ILSpy decompiler moves code to different methods/classes (only the JIT does stuff like inlining), so yes it's really a single enormous class handling every possible item in the game via cascading if statements.
It is high noon that a mobile phone on which we can install any linux flavour, with a nice debian netinstall like interface, is developed. An os where we can run apt-get and dpkg list on the cli to see what is installed and what it does. Something not android and ideally not a brick, and compatible with arm cpus, can make calls and can do 4/5g. From there on we can develop and use open source apps that we know EXACTLY whom they leak information to.
I can think of few things more thoroughly chanted by the mainstream than "multitasking bad!". Yet it seems that the most prolific outliers do quite a bit of multitasking (for some notion of multitasking). In startups Steve Jobs and Elon Musk come to mind.

Is anyone aware of any evidence (or even more anecdotes) of "multitasking good"?
I really do not think this is a concern that the general public has or is aware of. Never has anyone told me the main reason they're upgrading their phone is because their old one is not getting security updates.
How does this math work?

They take home $8070 [0].

The mortgage might be $2130 (assuming $360k house, $300k initial mortgage @ 5%) [1].

Credit cards of $50k - if they put $1000 on it each month @ 12% that's 70 months to pay off [2].

For $51k of student loans, lets say they are paying $985/month (which would take 5 years [3].)

So far I've used up $4115 and have $3955 left. Let's assume they pay $2000 for childcare and $1000/month for groceries for a family of three. They'll also have utilities and insurance payments to make. These are all insane number in my opinion, and I was already generous with overpaying on the credit cards and rapidly paying towards the student loans. Now they've only got $955/month left (which some people are actually able to live on.) What did I miss from their budget and which of the numbers did I get wrong?

I'm not saying the article is wrong. I'm saying what was the point of their example household?
