And somehow Fedora always seemed to do systemd and pulseaudio correctly. It's Debian and Ubuntu who somehow manage to make it into garbage. Is it intentional? Is it just because they use ancient, old versions? If indeed they want to be "stable" you'd think they'd update to incorporate the bug fixes.
People change usernames because they don't want to be associated with their old username anymore. We shouldn't force anyone to retain that association unless it's overwhelmingly in the public interest to do so. On sites with open user registration I can't think of any possible justification for that. It's only sites with closed userbases where you'd even be able to begin arguing for this, and even there I don't know what argument you could use that would justify it.

I have two cars between my wife and I. In Europe we'd have much smaller cars, but the train is there. But I'd rather travel point to point, on my schedule, even to places the train doesn't run. And I'd like to bring our kayaks with us. I feel that from my point of view, cars are superior and having a train around wouldn't improve our quality of life.

As a straight white male working for a former startup: I agree wholeheartedly. Even when (maybe that should be especially when) you are supposedly encouraged by the company to do so.

Discussing politics, race, sexuality, or religion at work only ever leads to discomfort or hurt feelings on someone's part, even if they are superficially identical to you.

Hell, even someone being vehemently anti-Trump at work makes me super uncomfortable, even when I feel similarly.
> In short, to insist on take-home tasks in this market is to give up on your strongest candidates.

This assertion makes absolutely no sense at all. Not being able to pass a simple fizzbuzz test doesn't mean the candidate is among the strongest there is. It just means that the candidate was either incapable of taking such a simple test or unwilling to provide any assurance that his alleged seniority made him a paper tiger.

I've personally interviewed a candidate who had a double major in math and CS, had a PhD, declared having over 10years of experience as a senior software dev, and on the first interview he showed he didn't even knew how to include a third-party library on what he claimed to be his programming language of choice he used most of his career.

That's the sort of stuff that take at home tests help weed out. If he took the test he wouldn't have wasted hours of his and our time.
Finally made it! Congratulations!

I've experienced this dating women in their 20's.

The problem in a nutshell is, the roles are changing right now, and nobody knows what they're supposed to be doing. There's a very, very large disconnect between what people are being told vs. what is actually happening.

The young women I've been involved with want you to be manly and aggressive while simultaneously cowering and politically correct. No matter what you do, you're always wrong. They pick some fight, then move onto the next person.

I've been dumped for being too strong (physically). I've been dumped for having the wrong political opinions. For not agreeing with obviously false statements. Never a discussion. I've been dumped for "being smart." I've been dumped for wanting to be monogamous. It's always easier for them to move on then to self evaluate.

Then around 25, the dating scene changes. From 18-25 women control the dating because they control the vagina supply. However, the moment a woman decides she wants to get married, men control the wedding ring supply.

Suddenly, for the first time, these women find themselves with very little leverage and very bad attitudes, and some of them never adjust.

A lot of them don't know how to read body language or facial expressions, or how subtext works — leading to lots of awkward moments. A woman invited me to her place once (for sex). When I got there, we sat on the couch, and she hugged a giant pillow very tightly and never got close to me. We just ended up talking for a bit, and she texted later and asked, "Why didn't we have sex? Are you not attracted to me?" I
explained that her body language was not that of a person who wanted to have sex and I was being respectful.

With all of these women I've seen, there's just a disconnect from the reality of the situation. I have a friend whose married, has four children, two very tough jobs, and is in a poly marriage. She complains to no end about how men "only want sex." Well, yes of course my dear-- you're MARRIED.

Now, I'm not saying dating men is any easier for women. I just haven't been on that side of the table. I would love to hear from someone.

I'd agree - but probably because it seems to be so common compared to drunk or high people.
_doing_it_wrong()
You are not thinking like an attacker.

The attacker has to hit the precisely correct time slot. However, there is no penalty for hitting the wrong time slots, so the easy solution is to just sync the timeslot boundaries by listening once and then retransmit on every timeslot.

The attacker has to somehow prevent the listener from hearing the original transmission. If the attacker retransmits at a similar power, as BT devices usually do, the combined transmission will look like noise. However, the attacker doesn't need to care about things like FCC rules or BT standards, and can simply transmit at a power few order of magnitudes greater, so that what the receiver hears is pretty much just the attacker.
Yes it did. Much improved.

I'm not a big believer in time travel, but I like watching/reading time travel stories. To my mind, it's a way to try to envision the two different futures that grow out of a single decision point.

You don't really get to A/B test your own life. You don't really get to know for absolute certainty where the road not taken would have taken you had you turned left instead of right at that moment on that day in that place with those people.

What you can do is develop mental models and compare against first-hand experience. Most actual choices in life don't literally involve life and death, at least not in an immediate sense.

Some can be life-or-death decisions -- casually sleep with the wrong person without protection, die of AIDS some years down the road -- but if you run around telling other people that every little thing you do in your life is life or death, they will soon decide you are a lunatic. So taking a reference to "burn the boats" too literally and acting like I'm the drama queen is really you being dramatic.

In practical terms, "burn the boats" is shorthand for "Make an actual decision and then commit to it. The longer you spend trying to leave your options open, the more time you waste."

If you stand at the cross roads forever trying to make it possible to choose to go either left or right, you stand there going nowhere at all. Just pick one, start walking and don't spend a lot of time looking back, walking back to the crossroads over and over, wondering if you should go the other way instead.
Certainly. That's not a good reason to let people drive high or drunk though.
Easy for Norway to say. America is 60x bigger population-wise, 30x bigger geographic-wise, and some order-of-magnitude more diverse (10x? 100x?) racially.

While I agree America can do better, comparing the US to Norway is like saying "Yeah, our Norway.com servers have only crashed once. Twitter.com would do well to copy how we do things; they seem to have servers crashing way more often than we do" which completely ignore issues that come into play at orders of magnitude higher scales - for if you put Norway.com under the same strain as twitter, Norway.com's servers would be crashing left and right as well.

Content ID content owners have a lot of options when dealing with their content appearing in videos.

For one[0], they can choose "block" - prevents it from showing in some/all countries, "monetize" - takes the videos's revenue (note that there is now revenue sharing so that claims don't always take 100% of the revenue[1]), or "track" - just track the video analytics.

It might be worth it to set up "if 2 minutes or less of my 4 minute song appear in a video, monetize", "if 30 seconds or less is used, just track it", and finally "if the entire video is my song or uses my song in its entirety, block it". Not sure how advanced the Content ID system really is since it's easier to get the Copyright Match Tool than Content ID, but I wouldn't doubt Google's ML had something like "match certainty" copyright holders can use to filter content like mashups and remixes. It's most likely up to the content owners to use this to filter, though, since the entire purpose of Content ID is to help both YouTube and Copyright holders avoid DMCA lawsuits.

Simulating Sandspiel: Building Interactivity with WebAssembly – JSConf EU 2019
What hate do you refer to, and why do you agree with it?

What's wrong with having a rapid development ecosystem within which to build that is fairly simple to install, run, and cycle? JavaScript, and NodeJS by extension, are just as viable as languages as any other out there. There are languages, such as Rust or Go, that people tout their benefits. However, I see no simple way to get an env set up, learn the language, and turn around anything of meaning in the time I could in JavaScript. There are some deficiencies in the platform, surely, but those (as I would expect) get resolved over time.

I could make the same argument about having to get a JRE or a Python interpreter. Each language is going to have its deficiencies and bonuses.

I have 2 BMWs and a Tesla, and I'm a 20 year member of the BMW Car Club of America. There are a lot of things BMW does better than Tesla.

But the Tesla experience is more than just bolting an electric motor into an existing car. In other words, I don't want a legacy BMW with an all-electric drivetrain. I'd like them to rethink the car in the ways Tesla has.

I laugh every time I see a 3-series ad touting all the advanced tech, where the guy's dancing around, and holds his smartphone to the door handle to unlock the car. This just looks so laughably stupid. I'm sure this isn't the way it ACTUALLY works (I think they're demonstrating that they have the same phone key tech that Tesla does?) but I honestly don't know.

Autodesk laid off the entire R&D staff of Maya (outside of Bifrost, which was an acquisition a few years ago and is now a one person show, mainly) and transferred ownership to their maintenance engineering division, if that isn’t life support I don’t know what is.

> Whereas a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% (the legal limit in most states) might result in a concentration of 208 ppm of ethanol in the breath, a similarly impairing dose of cannabis results in 0.00001 ppm of the drug in breath. [emphasis added]

From personal experience, it seems to me that cannabis and alcohol have radically different effects. How can you define a "similarly impairing dose" when they are so unlike each other?
Driving with an inadequate amount of sleep is almost certainly more dangerous and ubiquitous than having consumed a normal amount of cannabis (drowsy driving even causes more accidents than drunk driving). If we're going down this road, is there a similar effort to enforce and test for a minimum amount of sleep for drivers?
Probably these changes are what ultimately caused the liberal gov't to collapse as the closing of the coal plants (along with a myriad other factors, including some the previous conservative gov't are at fault for) at least indirectly led to higher electricity costs and the stupid gas plant scandal, and those things were used as a battering ram by the opposition in the last 2-3 provincial elections, until they finally won.
Why do you think this? Do you know many police officers, or are you operating off of narratives you've absorbed from elsewhere?

> Recreational drugs make you immature which will prevent you from going very far in life.

Put a "may" before "make" and a replace "will" with "may", and you have a truthful statement. However, as it stands, it's simply false. Some of us "well adjusted, functioning adults" just use drugs safely and responsibly, because it can make life just a bit more interesting.
> as homogeneous as Norway

I don't understand why this would matter. Why would homogeneity of the population have anything to do with how many people the police kill of the privileged race? Does the existence of black people in America increase the number of whites killed by police?

When we compare crime and such between USA and Europe you always say "But USA is so diverse!", isn't that racism? I mean, you are basically saying that you have to live with crime, murder and such when you have a diverse population. Or do I misunderstand you?

> Can someone provide studies or articles demonstrating the effectiveness of large protests in changing the populace's views?

Protests aren't about changing people's views as much as about normalizing active engagement by the silent whose views on the issue (even if they haven't deeply considered them prior to the protest drawing attention) already favor the protesters.

When people already opposed to position a protest takes dismiss it as unconvincing, they are missing the point. Protests are about mobilizing allies not converting enemies.

> I struggle to think of what the Women's March or Occupy Wall Street tangibly accomplished.

OWS directly produced the rapid development of anti-elite populist movements of both the Right and Left which subsequently displaced the dominant faction of the Republican Party and drastically weakened the dominant faction of the Democratic Party, it's a major reason that we have the President we have and that the pool of potential opponents for him in the next election looks like it does.

The meatspace Women's March and the online #MeToo protest movement were the central mobilizing elements in what has been one of the biggest ad most rapid social and political mobilizations of women and around women's issues—in government, workplaces, and society generally—in this country’s history, which had adverse repercussions for a number of very powerful people. It's a key element in the biggest increase in women on Congress from one Congress to the next ever.

I have to wonder about the combination of those two -- marijuana impairment + mobile phone (or, hell, the car stereo).

As a few people have mentioned already, there really is not a foolproof correlation between "amount taken" and "degree of impairment" for any drug. Even for alcohol, frequent alcohol users can build up significant tolerance. In general, blood concentrations for THC are pretty good at identifying impairment for infrequent users (greater than 90% predictive in some studies), but are very inaccurate for frequent users with a built up tolerance.
