Limiting discourse to only your way or the highway is disrespectful and precisely how these protections are ignored. This time it’s a telescope, next time it won’t be.

Perhaps the community wants to protect their sacred site from building a telescope as well. Ignoring that because you believe your cause to be more valuable than their home isn’t justified. It’s as nonsensical as claiming that the best way to protect against pregnancy is to get pregnant, it’s just doublespeak.

We could level a bunch of suburbia all over the country and put telescopes there, and that would both remove a blight on the American landscape while protecting another untouched one. But this isn’t what we discuss because “their” sacrifice is much easier for us to agree on than ours. Like it or not, it’s the same colonialist logic that led to the genocide of the American natives.
Fitting title. I remember close to 10 years ago I proposed a lot of these ideas on my company as a low level manager. I was only asked "how old are you?" And told "your paycheck is us telling you you're doing a good job." Aha

Hello,
i am planning to sell one billion dollar digital units in one year, i am looking for $15k for 4% post money valuation
This idea is very crazy then i would like one who will invest for amusement purpose so that if the startup fail then he will not be hurt ,
i am looking for someone who see this startup as an entertainment and by paying $15k then it is like being entertained and if the startup succeed is just a bonus.

reach to me by sending me a message at ismailgalawa@gmail.com if you are interested to get amused by investing in this startup
We don't know how far back the RADOME goes on aircraft with nose installed MLDS with radar lock detection the the RADOME might extend to the cockpit.

Pod based MLDS systems are essentially made from the same materials as RADOMEs for this reason.
There's certainly a time and place for it though still. Certainly in the aerospace industry, cable lacing is a very important part of the harness making process. When trying to be compliant to safety measures (like incredibly low or high temperature points, flammability, or vibration) heatshrink/conduit/tape often fails spec and the only alternative is good old fashioned wires and lacing.
Interesting! I'm newer to software and have never done any communication about bugs or other situations the article references via email-- it's always been in person, in a Slack channel, or through JIRA or Github comment threads.

I guess it's just my company's culture but it's always been assumed that people will not check or respond to email promptly, so project-related information should not be communicated that way.

At least the network component has some use as personal or P2P VPN but even that is a niche use case.
> When will it be uneconomical for an attacker to reorged these records out of the DaG?

Depends on what hardware the attacker has available. A GPU offers at least an order of magnitude increase in efficiency over a CPU, while FPGAs and ASICs offer further orders of magnitude increases. The particular PoW used here (birthday collision) aims to be memory hard but falls to a sublinear memory-time tradeoff.
Labor is expensive, materials are cheap. Cable lacing doesn't protect the wire from abrasion like wire loom does.

For bigger bundles of wires there's also the "plasic flow" (basically the weight of the bundle causing the cable to cut the insulation) issue another commentor mentioned that loom is basically immune to.
This is really great, and I wish this existed 6+ years ago while I was transitioning careers. I graduated from a "name brand" university with a Stats degree, but no relevant work experience, and no desire to pursue what most of my classmates were doing (actuarial exams, etc.)

I liked assembling computer hardware when I was younger so I ended up getting my A+ certification and started working in IT help desk, eventually doing more sysadmin work, but still felt pretty unfulfilled. I couldn't afford to take the time off a full-time job to do a bootcamp or something similar, and almost took a combined work/training gig (which would have been something like a 60% pay-cut for 2 years -- in retrospect, this was totally exploitative and a terrible offer, so I was right to be reluctant).

I told my then employer about the offer and leveraged it into a lateral move into their QA dept. After doing the job for a bit and learning the basics, I read online that people were automating the checks I was performing manually. I started spending as much time as I could (and several months of extremely late nights) learning how to code. Once I knew enough Ruby to be dangerous, it was a gateway to new and better offers until I found myself doing regular old Software Engineering. I was lucky to be given some great opportunities and tenacious enough to lateral my way into the career I wanted (at past jobs I would spend a chunk of my time unsanctioned working on various software problems that the company had, only to turn around and say "look what I built, could you give me a job doing this full-time?") but had I not already been in a field where I was working with developers and with computers every day, it would have been 10x harder to make the lateral moves that I did.

Anyway, that's my nontrad story. I think the best time for me to have joined a program like this would have been at the moment where I was doing lots of webdev side-projects but no "real life" problem to solve using the theoretical skills I had gained. It worked out for me in the end, but something like this could have definitely made my circuitous path a lot more straightforward.

I have a feeling that it's a combination of two things.

1) The plastics might need to be made out of a very specific material which might not be very stable in the long term.

2) RADARs get freaking bloody hot and even a few % of absorption might be enough to essentially make them into a microwave oven.

I'm guessing some combination of the material, pure heat and radiation might be the cause of these plastics breaking down but I'm not a material engineer however this is something that I've also encountered.

I have had experience with SAR pods and their RADOMEs have had to be constantly replaced due to degradation as well.

In fact in spot/strip mode it wouldn't be uncommon to see actual discoloration of the RADOME after a few flights.
A further use of "kine" that people may have experienced far away from surfer culture is "Kine Bud" which is usually shortened to KB.[1]

I am not young, and I do better with asynchronous communication. I don't mind chatting on the phone when it makes sense to, but I generally prefer email; it gives me time to think through what I want to say and make sure it's communicated correctly. On the phone, I wind up going silent for a minute to think things through, and other people get uncomfortable because of the silence.

Worth noting, it's not about social skills. It's about having the time to fully think through a complex issue and the information related to it. That just isn't possible during a synchronous conversation. You wind up having meetings where the things that get decided aren't the right things because people didn't have time to actually think through all the factors involved.

The Self bytecode was pretty close to an abstract syntax tree, though not huffman-compressed. How is it that nobody has mentioned Self yet in this thread? Self was doing JIT compiling from a platform-independent bytecode in the late 80s and getting within a factor of 2 of C performance by the early 90s.

I find this to be an interesting quip.

I do agree with you, since I've done it myself. I've also taken furniture friends were going to trash. But I refinished and cleaned them. However I know not everyone has those skill sets.

But, is it right to say someone can't have something moderately nice? I couldn't afford to in the past and lived like that. I didn't like it, obviously. But I also had an "exit strategy" to that situation, which has decently worked out.

I'm just curious how I'd feel if it didn't work out. Even though I agree with you, that comment kind of stung oddly... I don't know...
There is more than one way to look at it.

I've been coding in Perl for 20 years, I'm a CPAN author [1] and I just published my third CPAN contribution yesterday.

I've written over half a million Perl lines of currently in use enterprise cloud software[2] and I'll keep coding in Perl because I don't like the big snake dictatorship of "There should be one — and preferably only one — obvious way to do it."

That's the result of colonialism, which usually promotes forced assimilation into the colonizers culture.

If you ask most natives in North America whey certain areas/things/animals are sacred, you might also get a 'vague,' answer because we have only recently stopped trying to systematically eliminate the native's culture and religion.

With that understanding of "having a say", you're having a say in being kidnapped, too. "Hey, you could've fought the guy with the gun... you just valued your life more than doing the right thing".

It's not a useful definition imho.

It's not that there aren't any developers contributing to the problem, those building the fat 3rd-party scripts definitely are (though they're likely under different constraints), but the argument for "you're contributing if you don't use your credentials to secretly edit out the javascript that loads that tool and get fired" is pretty far out there, I think.

Why is it a negative consequence that the replacement requires no skill? Turning on a light switch requires far less skill than trimming wicks for oil lamps, but I'd consider that a feature not a bug.
Neat!
I have a dream - just like we have issue templates, have organization wide email templates for internal communications. If every email sent in an organization, adhere to 3 to four email templates - that would take away so much of the cognitive load of parsing each snowflake and extracting the meat out of them. As soon as you see a label in the first words of subject you know what you are dealing with - like "bug", "defect", "enhancement" - put "delay", "escalate" etc.
Instead of a free form text box with no word limits, there will be more fields that enhance decision making - voting buttons, highlights like you see on medium.

The word limit will stop the mind dump and make you be precise with the focus on reaching a goal.

Some more unpopular ideas:

* A discussion would have follow up limits. Time or number. No month long threads, or 100 replies in half hours. Beyond a limit, it will automatically schedule a meeting for in person discussion to conclude on decisions

* email quotas - you can only send n emails within m hours to p persons

Autovivication seemed like a great feature to me, back in the day, when I was getting started with Perl. Working with similar data structures in languages like Python always seemed like a chore.

I had heard a few perl monks criticize it a bit, as an "end run around use strict", but I was kind of dismissive. It turns out, that's a really apt way to describe it. It basically tosses the niceties of use strict out the window, so long as its a hash. And sooo many things are hashes/hashrefs in Perl.

The first time I wasted a day tracking down a bug that turned out to be a well hidden typo in a hash key assignment, changed my mind. Well... maybe the third time.
No offence taken! I don't disagree - but it helped feed my family well for a long time.

I know this isn't the question you were asking, but ostensibly, Markdown in email has always been a thing, since it's intended to degrade gracefully to human-interpretable formatting.
DC native here too - this may just reflect my age but it seems like jawnks was relatively short lived in the late 80s/early 90s (at least I haven’t heard it since then), ie a slang trend (not unlike the Greaseman-coined “dische” of the same era) rather than a long-lived linguistic change as it sounds like “jawn” is
I agree with all of this, except I've observed that written media can be extremely effective as a means of discussion. In meetings at our company, most of the material discussion takes place in writing before the in-person meeting even starts. The first ~10 minutes of a meeting are spent reading people's comments in silence until everyone is caught up.

It's an unusual approach, but results in faster and higher quality decisions than any other method we've tried.
> ... bringing up climate change does little more than discourage a worthwhile effort.

I almost entirely agree. From a purely environmental perspective, habitat pollution and species destruction is 100% worth caring about, understanding, and reducing/eliminating. I think we're sadly living in a time where public discourse has equated environmental impact with climate impact, and fails to keep them separated when necessary.

Some things are worth caring about and doing because they are destructive to the environment(s) on Earth as a whole—and we should avoid destroying the environment itself, as well as habitats, ecosystems, and species when we realize we are doing so. Some things are worth caring about, understanding, and reducing/eliminating because they are destroying the climate itself, which is getting dangerously close to becoming actively unfriendly to humans and other species in a relatively short timeframe. These things are occasionally, but not always, interacting & influencing the other. Environmental destruction can, in turn, cause climate destruction/change. The reverse also holds. I think many people have difficulty discussing one without bringing up the other, or in very specific cases, discussing them as if they are equivalent.

However, the two examples I called out as accusations of false equivalence that do not hold were more whataboutism than false equivalency. The accused were not claiming the two things to be the same—they directly admitted they were different issues, with different concerns and impacts, and still wanted to push that one was more important (at least to them) than the other. Had the accusers pointed out the whataboutism, I wouldn't have commented. But they called it false equivalency, which prompted me to point out that their responses actually rode the line of false equivalence far more egregiously than the comments to which they replied. I stand by that assessment. I wasn't seeking to defend the accused's whataboutism—it was both distracting and unhelpful. But it was important to me—some random internet nobody who really doesn't mean much of anything at all—to point out that the accusations were incorrect and try to prod the accusers to not go throwing around a term like false equivalence without it being warranted. I guess just because words and terms matter. Public discourse is better when we keep that in mind.
You can eliminate credit score swings by never generating a credit card statement with a balance. You can do this by paying your card off prior to the statement date.

I spend between $1000-$2000 on credit cards a month and collectively I generate statements with less than $10 spread across 4 cards. My credit score is rock solid from month to month.

If you have six figures of liquid assets (what 0.1% debt vs liquid assets implies) this should be no problem at all.

Of course, Common Lisp spoiled me beyond words. I've tried OCaml the other day. It might be a good language, but I can't seem to make it integrate nicely with the Emacs workflow that I was used to from Common Lisp. You need ;; at the end of your expression when in the REPL, but not when building a standalone app in OCaml. When compiling it's considered bad practice to put ;; But without it, the REPL doesn't know where the expression ends. Or something like that, anyway.

Same story with Prolog. It might be a good language, but there are all sorts of special cases and exceptions when working with it interactively. I've gotten so much used to working interactively, to have a live, one-on-one honest conversation with my language and environment that languages without it seem brain-dead somehow.

I agree with your "terrible regression" comment.

I thought this was crazy and egotistical, and how could anyone even want such a thing... until I googled the topic. From what I'm reading, it's not that rare (https://workplace.stackexchange.com/questions/97395/in-what-...).

In my mind, order serves no purpose, so requiring it is purely egotistical. That being said, overly egotistical people aren't exactly a rarity in the business world. And the minute _one_ person says it matters, other people start thinking it does too (because someone else might see it that way, and it reflects on them).

Halal is more important to Muslims in China than in USA or Western Europe.

The reason is that Christians and Jews are "people of the book" according to Islam. That means that actually their slaughter is also halal, except for pork of course. So actually per sharia law halal slaughter is not necessary in countries they deem as people of the book. They still prefer it.

In China, however, or any other country that is non-Jewish, Christian, or Muslim, their slaughter can never be halal. In these countries the Muslims may only eat seafood and vegetables.
It fundamentally is about fairness albeit in a peripheral sense - the market doesn't exist in a vaccuum - those high prices depend upon granted monopoly rights and regimes which are a bargin wrongly conflated with property and treated like an entitlement instead of the contracts they are. Nothing is owned - only the ability to stop others from doing things. An unfair contract is increasingly likely to be ripped up because there is nothing more to be lost by doing so.

That people are flying abroad is the start of ripping up their local monopoly along with uncertifified online pharmacy importation and grey market sales - taking risks to avoid costs is a sign that the market /isn't/ bearing it.
