Does anyone with deep experience within welding have any pro tips on fixture design? Even willing to do some consulting? We are tackling this at the moment and getting some grossly conflicting inputs from manual welders, automated welding equipment suppliers, and other sources. Basically we want to produce precise and repeatable assemblies mainly out of 304 beam stock, but with a view toward validating precision before investing in automation we've become aware that fixture design will be critical, yet lack experience. Our initial prototype fixture already functions successfully with pneumatic work holding, but has numerous design flaws.
Virginia used to issue in that pattern, with a dash between. Then they ran out and added a 4th digit. However, there are plenty of VA plates still around with the old pattern.
Anything that we consume and whose production method kills some number of birds. The number is immense, and it includes all kinds of stuff that most people do, particularly those in wealthier areas of the world.
It's an English-language title, and publishers typically schedule things months or years in advance.
Definitely a good point.

If you're highly driven to achieve the goal of spending-consuming, that's unlikely to get you anywhere particularly interesting.
I believe the biggest issue is people leaving.

Invest x months of training at y cost.

Then the person leaves right after training for a higher-paying job.

That dis-incentivizes training.
Which service/chain? I'm in Mexico too and I've never heard about it.
I wasn't surprised either, but was curious where exactly people in poverty reside here. Turns out the expensive coastal counties have the highest rates (LA > Santa Barbara > Santa Cruz > OC) [1]. So it looks like you're right that the primary driver is increasing cost of living and low mobility.

My experience of that which has been called 'agile' is that it's an excuse by programmers not to do the boring stuff, so they can got straight into the coding.

Not to plan, or even think too much, definitely not to document (sometimes not write anything down at all), often not to test except in a token form and sometimes not even that.

Is that agile? That's how 'agile' has been done where I work anyway. Maybe I've been unlucky but 'agile' like that is a loathsome, unprofessional practice that can't produce good results.
No, even if that's the basis for determining it is an issue advocacy ad, it was not permitted because it lacked the required notifications for such an ad, not because the content was prohibited.

The alternative you present is equivalent to arguing that campaign-sponsored ads are prohibited in the US, since they will be found illegal if presented without required notices.
The USAF has a similar manual. Google for "USAF Tongue Quill" and the PDF is the first result.
Sometimes the first price quoted is just a formality. One time my significant other went to an optometrist for a contacts prescription, without optical insurance (long story), and the bill was for $1000. She emailed asking why, and they just replied "here's your updated bill: $250"

I was reminded of this just yesterday by a similarly simple story: https://twitter.com/chrisalbon/status/1172161958759395333

It's sort of like "add to cart to see the real price" but they can't say that. And sometimes hospitals are in a different mode where they fight for it. It's not logical, it's screwed up, but anyway the first bill is usually just fake.
All traditional reporting institutions have been fighting for their survival for a decade or so now.
The shared cache stores Amazon data in our database. Subsequently, when any user makes a request, it will hit Amazon only if there is a cache miss.

Lets say, user 1 makes an API call to our server to fetch browse node: 1000 (Books). The first time such request is made, our server will make an API call to Amazon using user 1's AWS key. Once we get the response back, we will cache the result and send back the result to user 1. When user 2 makes the request for the same browse node 1000 (Books), we will not hit Amazon server again. Instead, we will get the cached data from our database and send it back to the user 2 without using his/her AWS key. This way the number of API calls made will be less than one per second for a user and avoids the throttling problem.
You can't think about two natural language sentence at the same time.

It's possible to have a feeling at the same time though, or at least it seems like this.

So, is the feeling processed at the same time as thinking a natural language sentence or do these things happen in sequence and it only seems parallel?
If the game is meant to entertain the students, and the students are no longer entertained by that particular instance of the game, then why is it so important to the school that students remain inside the stadium?

It really seems to me that the school has somehow made these student/spectators a product in some way. Perhaps it looks better to network television if the stadium stays packed the entire game?
Yes, the key difference is that tl;dr is, by placement, a sort of self-effacing, humorous admission of self absorption while BLUF is all about teaching every member of a multi-million person organization to write empathically. Not bad for 4 letters. But, yes, if you just move the tl;dr to the top, that would be a great first step.

As a participant in this arena, I can say my observation has been that the real experts often omit the term BLUF because it gets in the way of their message. Omitting BLUF is not a sign of expertise. Far from it. But the really expert empaths know when to break the rules.
So the other day, I found that emacs supports X's SECONDARY selection by holding Alt before selecting on text. Does anyone know of another program besides emacs that supports SECONDARY selection?
"In California, motorized vehicles cannot be used on the sidewalk"

Possibly true. (actually electric skateboards are allowed) But bikes also entered the conversation.

Regardless, I personally find the discussion of what the rules should be, rather than what they are in any particular jurisdiction, to be more interesting.

"I've had a bunch of very close calls already."

I don't know where you live, but you're quite the outlier. Maybe your attitude that the burden is entirely on someone else is putting you in danger?

I have a 5 year old (and yes, we spend an awful lot of time on San Francisco sidewalks), and I teach her that the burden is always on her to keep herself safe.

Of the 8 people killed using electric scooters so far, all of them have been the riders. Maybe you'll be the first to die this way, but that sounds a bit unlikely to me, unless you are actively trying to. Also, I've yet to hear of a pedestrian bicycle accident that caused significant injury that happened on an actual sidewalk.

"Everything you wrote is just avoiding the main issue."

No, it's not.

It's simply calling you out for assuming that your views and your priorities are the only right ones. You show no nuance. Placing "the burden" entirely on one party, here in the real world, makes no sense to me.
Distributed databases like git you mean? Even git is no longer used as distributed database, thanks to GitHub.
I don't care at all about this discussion! I was just trying to ding the commenter for going off on a tangent. Also, the person I'm replying to wasn't talking about instruction-level parallelism, they were misreading the article.
Take Two Aspirin and Call Me by My Pronouns
The rise of internet enabled microtransactions and the masses bought drm laden games they didn't own like mmo's...

Once the masses fell for mainframe/dumb client, companies now controlled the software and could insert bs monetization.

All game design has been effected since game companies took control of game software starting from 1997 onlward with the release of ultima online.

The whole project was to undermine game ownership from the very get go.

Here's the game industry gloating of it's great victory of the PC gaming masses:

> AMC and Regal would ultimately figure out that If they were serious about a subscription plan, it would make more sense to build it in house/keep it limited to its own brands

This ignores countless counter-examples where entrenched companies completely missed the boat, despite plenty of time and obvious advantages. Although I understand how people could think this, it's how most business is taught to people for some reason but price competition and existing prior competitors (surprisingly) doesn't matter nearly as much in the disruption game as they do among big businesses in stable markets. But people tend to serve business advice as one-size-fits-all.

This seems to be more about the weird nature of the film marketplace than matters of competitive advantage.
I thought that DevOps means: "doing operations with a development mindset."

That captures the gist of it imho.
Thanks a lot for correcting me, for some reason I had misremembered that they are also funded by broadcasting fees, but you are right, they are not; they are funded by tax money[1].

In which year was Purdue supposed to be aware of future financial liabilities that put it into bankrupcy? The deal was reached last Wednesday and yes, maybe it has been in the making for a while, but how long? The best I can deduce from Wikipedia is that a few states filed suit in May 2018 and another 30 jumped on by Jan 2019, and the earliest mention of the settlement was that it was in-progress in August 2019.

The Sacklers' biggest self-payments were in 2008-2011 per the article's figure and actually got smaller in later years, with data only through 2016.

It's not clear that at any point for which we have data, the Sacklers "knew" their company was facing future financial liabilities that put it into bankrupcy. Did they make self-payments from August 2019 on? I don't think the article says either way.
Because everyone knows already? Nobody asked Thunberg to "symbolically" demand tons of media attention on herself. People are reminded flying burns fuel every time they book a flight and are offered carbon credits, or in school, or whenever they read the newspaper, or really any one of dozens of different ways.

Remember - Thunberg has no solutions. Nor do any of the climate activists like her. Planes will not stop flying, power stations will not stop emitting short of a totalitarian government taking over the world and rolling the global economy back a couple hundred years: an act that would involve mass destruction and death on an unimaginable scale.

The only people who have solutions are scientists and engineers working on ways to power planes that don't involve burning fossil fuels, or make them more efficient. They won't work any faster because some random teenager sailed on a boat. Nor will people give up their vacations, miss out on an important business deal, or refuse to go see a dying loved one because Thunberg personally demands it. Her refusal to see this is a product of a desire for attention, not a helpful service to humanity.

I'll respect this girl when she goes and gets an engineering degree, gets a job at Airbus and works on an electric plane. Then she'll be able to say she really made a difference.
Off-topic, but:

I agree that what you describe is fraud, but I don't believe that's what the article is talking about.

To elaborate, I don't see where the article states they wired money from their company to their private accounts right before declaring bankrupcy. The article instead seems to be describing shuffling of their personal assets between accounts.
2pi is a full turn. Using a different name doesn't change much.

Not quite absolute, the government of New London, Connecticut took a home away from Susette Kelo and gave it to Pfizer because it would produce more jobs and taxes. Our property rights are not secure, and we could lose them by simply not paying property taxes.
Incredibly useful phrase: "I'd love to get this in front of a judge."
Former MoviePass consultant here. Pretty sure the whole thing was a con. After being hired, I quickly pointed out major flaws in the product that allowed for users to share accounts or use their cards to buy popcorn or let theaters arbitrarily charge MoviePass customers higher prices. Mitch was never technical enough to comprehend the minutiae and Ted never acted with urgency when confronted with cold hard evidence that his users were effectively stealing millions of dollars from the company. They sold dollars for 75 cents. Kind of like WeWork.
Please consider alternative narratives.

He acted selfishly, not morally. Like a startup founder he wanted to disrupt an existing infrastructure, with a one-sided view of the trajectory his impact would have on the domain. Any collateral damage would be easy to hide in the personal narrative memory hole.

Deep thoughts and intellectual defenses are not so hard to construct, should not be uncritically accepted with significant corroborating evidence, and should certainly not be taken in any way to imply morality, as shown by the growing list of deep thinkers who supported and participated in Jeffrey Epstein's schemes.

With Snowden we have very little corroboration, so best reserve judgement. And if he does wind up dying as many other Russian actors have...
I work in metal fabrication and my I'm lithe.

I don't have any trouble at all keeping my weight under control, but in order to stay strong and flexible I still need to work at it constantly.

To that end, I have a weight bench, barbell and dumbbells in my lounge room, and a pull up bar hung between two door ways in the hall.

I find 'working out' tedious, incredibly boring. But I'll walk by the pull up bar and do 10 pull ups multiple times a day, or grab a couple dumbbells and do a few sets here and there.
Didn't the Samsung galaxy S4 have this?
Please notify me when this goes live, moving from Clickup to Clubhouse btw, liking it so far.
Best reporting on the subject out there. He was doing it before the NYTs article on hard unexplained situations. Nothing about aliens. This dude who says he is monetizing it or spreading typical ufo junk is a total troll.

It's almost certainly heavier than the kevlar equivalent. It might be a good material for quickly building fixed fortifications though, or more cheaply armoring vehicles.
I played StarCraft 2 for nearly a decade after it came out. It was always a solid experience. It is surprising that in all that time, there hasn't been a serious competitor to SC2 in the traditional RTS format. This article does a great job of breaking down why that might be. I mean, the mobile revolution did take some steam and excitement out of PC gaming for a while there. As the author points out, game devs tend to chase the trends and in some cases, they have to. I agree with the author's conclusion that the industry is missing out on a big opportunity. They remain to this day my most satisfying gaming experiences. And if they're done right and well balanced, people will play the same RTS for decades, so they have a lot of staying power.
No one person is to blame and trying to do so will just leave you frustrated as that person passes the buck, this whole market is rotten from PBMs, Pharmaceutical Manufacturers, Payors, Pharmacies and Providers - both individual doctors and institutions like clinics and hospitals that set guidelines for preferred treatment options and guidance of care.

I've emigrated but when I was still working in the US a co-worker of mine was given a 90 day script after an injury, which is far _far_ more than is appropriate for mild pain relief. He was a neuroscientist and enraged that a doctor would prescribe him such a stupidly dangerous quantity, he just grunted and bore it for two days then got over it.
My point is that interpreting this statement as a "history lesson" instead of a loose metaphor is quite silly.
Are you sure the Genesis didn't align things on 8 bit boundaries? Either way, it might be worth mentioning current systems that use 10-bit (30-bit) color.

The N64 is notable for using ECC memory modules with ECC disabled, where the CPU sees 8 bits per byte and the GPU uses all 9 bits per byte for some functions.
Yet we see drugs that are, say, 100 times the cost of the generic. So how can that happen; how is that sustainable? Presumably nearly everyone starts on the generic, and then switches to the brand name if they have problems with the generic. So there is actually not competition so much as price discrimination! You can't tell someone who the generic has failed that they are equivalent, because their only hope is that they are not! Not only is the generic no longer an alternative, but psychologically, it's easier to put your hope in a super-expensive option because of the cliche "you get what you pay for".

So I think telling people continually that generics are identical is not helpful, because it's not information. It's an assumption, which might be true or it might not be, but is essentially never helpful to any individual in making a decision.
He is using his platform and wealth, that he has from climbing rocks, to better the world though: https://www.snewsnet.com/people/alex-honnold-on-public-lands.... I can’t really think of a better example of a contemporary person who has lived simply, achieved success at a very young age, and immediately jumped in to an advocacy role.

And I think his media presence is drastically different from Everest peak baggers: the media comes to Alex because he is a 1 in 7 billion human being, he does not approach the media in an attempt to brag about an accomplishment. Can you point to anything that indicates he does what he does for “fame from other”? In the dozens of hours of interviews I have watched he never once presents himself this way...
I completely identify myself with this. Many people told me that I was rude because of my way I communicate in workplace. But since then, the group I'm working with got used to me and some of them have adopted this style. Sometimes we're really hurry with the schedules and continuous feedback among us has helped us to meet that schedules.
Loctite (blue package) works as good as superglue but stings a lot less.
Seems like asking "history of psoriasis?" is cheating
I think you may not have all the information here. People are coming forward and testifying that their Purdue bosses instructed them to lie to insurers in order to get prescribed opioids paid for.

There is evidence that they knowingly lied to doctors and patients telling them that fentanyl was safe and less addictive than many other lesser opioids.

There is evidence that they knowingly increased pressure on sales even after it came to light that opioids were much more addictive and lethal than they thought.

There is also evidence that the sacklers were heavily involved in all of this.

I'd say yes, they definitely contributed to the epidemic in a large way.
So your argument is that the post office could be profitable if it were allowed to be more than a post office? Yeah I agree with that, but it doesn't really say anything about whether the USPS in reality has a net cost on tax payers.
Well... Yeah, but I actually like learning things, unrelated to income. Also in my case I probably am maxxed out on income relative to skill at the moment. Or fuck, I don't know, maybe I could go to Facebook...
Apropos this shutdown, Silicon Valley is also shutting down and its last season is slated to premier October 27, 2019.

Starcraft is still very much around.

But I suspect people went to mobas like League of Legends because they wanted a more social, team based experience and they liked playing a hero.
Yeah, yeah. She stopped going to school. Strike? Do words still mean anything?
but attempting to understate your wealth for purposes of liability is a huge crime. this article is basically telling us that they're dramatically understating their wealth to minimize the settlement damage.
People wait 6 months or more in Canada.
I don’t disagree the sport started in the ivies, but not where it became massively commercialized. Right now the Northeastern football programs are not very competitive, with the exception of Notre Dame. I can’t do this analysis right now, but I’d bet that there is a strong correlation between college football revenue and distance from professional teams, adjusting for the date at which the professional teams were founded.
Right, I didn’t understand there was a difference. Thanks for that, I’ll look into it.
It could be "Scots have lowest debt in the UK": https://www.pwc.co.uk/who-we-are/regional-sites/scotland/pre...

> Recruiters are being regularly ghosted (like they used to do to candidates)

Not sure if this is the same thing (with "ghosted"), but I have 3 rock-bottom criteria before I'll respond to a recruiter's email:

* Send to the email on my resume, not my personal one.

* Show that they've read (or at least keyword-matched) my resume.

* Something in the job description should at least be vaguely enticing, such as a technology I have on my resume. The same thing can hit both points 2 and 3, the depending on how the email is structured.

In nearly 10 years, a grand total of one recruiter got all these points. Half of them failed on the first one.

Like I said, in practical terms, this turns out to be a much bigger issue for a random selection of Scala than a random selection of Java/TypeScript/Python.

Just like every language has an untyped/unsafe method of operation. But some languages use that sparingly; others have that for the whole language.
There was an issue I read about with a drug where they did not test all the different dosages of a generic, and I think the behavior of one of the doses was not as expected because it didn't dissolve well or something.

This was a psychiatric drug, and so of course, reports of problems went unheeded for years because patients were assumed to be imagining things.

Saying "the drug does have to behave the same as the branded product" is like saying "the product as delivered does have to match the spec".
Same thing here. Over the short 5 months I had MoviePass I would go to the movie theater whenever I would find myself having 2 hours of free time. I discovered a lot of good movies I would never have paid for.
Frostpunk is like a modern CoC or Warcraft, but the story is so so dark. Actually maybe closer to a Civ game.

On mobile you probably would like the Auto Chess game Dota Underlords. The are the next evolution of the RTS games, that grew out of Warcraft like League of Legends.
Yes, I understand. While I’ve never only attributed that to Agile alone, but also this sort of brogrammer-code-is-the-real-product, it sometimes feels like a maturing industry sort of rolled back into its teenage years. Diagrams? Solution models (up front thinking)? Document for future reference? Nah, we don’t want to do that.

It’s sad. Just recently had an experience like this with developers I manage. I do loathe the brogrammer culture more than anything...
