My wife started buying Who Gives A Crap for our household a few months a go and we love it. We went the "mid-tier" quality (although we experimented with the the lower - 1ply tier at first wasn't that bad either). We also get the huge pack with 10 or 20 boxes of tissues included.

> Most mainstream toilet roll brands source their wood pulp from boreal forests in Canada, which are very old and take between 20 to 50 years to regenerate.

it's this kind of crap (pardon the pun) that makes us feel good about using recycled TP.

also, i have to give a shoutout to whoever Who Gives A Crap's copywriters are; the stuff they put on the undersides of the tissue boxes and TP rolls is genuinely hilarious. I worked along side great copywriters years ago, and I can just picture those kind of people sitting around brainstorming funny stuff to adorn the wrapping with.

edit: it's made from bamboo, not recycled.

Libgphoto2 Port for iOS Released
I am surprised that poop wasn't mentioned. Nor drug paraphernalia. That kills the attractiveness of SF far more than anything else.
Well I agree, you don't fire the person because they put JSON.parse(...) even if they put it in 1000 times. That would be silly.

The question is WHY did they do that? I'd probably get them to learn about performance tuning and do some profiling, make something faster. When they find out that it's slow because of something they didn't predict, hopefully they'll decide for themselves that they can't predict what will be slow, so no point complicating the code. If they don't get that, maybe explain it to them.

Basically the person who put JSON.parse all over the code was learning.

If they come back and arrogantly say "I'm right, and I'll carry on doing it you won't stop me", then that could be an attitude problem that might lead to question if they should be working there.

There are more nuances like if the person is claiming to be a senior developer/architect then the trigger for firing them might be more likely to be pulled. But still it is worth thinking about it first.
When you are Google, the internet is not a dumb pipe. For example they can correlate the youtube videos you are watching from your phone.
touchbyte today released an iOS version of libgphoto2 - a library to access digital cameras. libgphoto2 has been adopted to run on iOS and allows controlling supported digital cameras using the PTP/IP protocol over Wi-Fi. The adopted library is licensed under LGLP2 and used in PhotoSync 4.0 for iOS (https://www.photosync-app.com), a product by touchbyte which enables powerful and flexible photo & videos transfers and backup. The full source code including an example app is available at https://github.com/touchbyte/GPhoto2Framework
Had a similar thing at my college. If you are trying to take a language class, you need to take an online test to examine your current level of knowledge of the language, so that they can put you in an appropriate class level (i.e., basically allowing you to test out of beginner level classes, if you have enough knowledge to take the more advanced ones). I found out that all the correct answers were basically encoded into the front-end HTML, so it looked something like "return question1.result === "XYZ". While the value of cheating on such a test is extremely dubious (you do not get any credit on your transcript for the beginner classes if you tested out of them), I thought it was interesting nonetheless.

Definitely understand that it feels like a slap in the face given Switzerland's tradition of bank secrecy, but the reason these (multinational) banks now do this is that, generally speaking, they and their customers are paying a modest inconvenience for their past criminal actions. These banks are not solely Swiss; they are multinational corporations and were probably breaking the law. Maybe not Swiss law, but the law of countries they had a nexus with.

I expect the biggest issue you're going to have is my answer to your question: we don't do risk assessments. Never in any company I've worked for have I been involved with doing one, or even heard that they existed.

Heck, I'm not even really sure what they are. So your tagline "Identify Project Risks and Issues" -- that all sounds good, but I don't really know what it is the tool does! Certainly you're not going to say "in the database, we need to model the concept of a production date separately from the concept of the packaging date"; what is it that this product does? Even the online demo doesn't help: it presents two fields (likelihood and impact) and then says "now sign up".

So you might want to do more to convince me I should do one of these. How will it help me? What will it look like?
That’s awful. We need to find out that brand.

Whatever time I spend in the waiting room in Canada waiting for treatment, which is honestly less time than I wait for the cable company to show up to fix things, more than makes up for the fact that I spent literally zero time dealing with hospital bills.

Considering US hospital bills can easily be tens of thousands, a couple of hours wait at even $1000/hr. billable lost opportunity is still cheaper than the US alternative.
My Samsung SmartTV randomly turns on itself. Sometimes, we can't turn it on and I have to remove the batteris from the remote, plug them back then it works. The UI is sooo sluggish. I just wish they make a dump TV with superior image quality and let the other streaming devices handling the "smart" features. I will not buy another Samsung electronic product.
Do you have a real source for this? That’s a pretty serious accusation.
It really depends on the cloud storage provider, and once you have gigabit, you can tell who's being cheap with their CDN/local POP. Some downloads scream along and gigabit is worth it. It's ridiculous to me that local disk can be the bottleneck. (This is with a spinning disk. An SSD, less so.) Others downloads... don't.

It remains frustrating that no provider offers a plan which more accurately reflects how the cell network functions. When your local cells is not near full load, downstream bandwidth should cost nothing over your fixed monthly access fee. When the network is busy, they should auction off high speed access (call that "surge data"). From a UI perspective this would have have been hard to do pre-smartphone but nowadays it would be pretty straight-forward.

The desire for these "easy to understand" data plans instead results in really inefficient network operation. Throughput collapses in busy areas during business hours even if you pay for the super mega ultra unlimited plan, because everyone is using their "unthrottled" data. Meanwhile if off-peak usage were more discounted (say, $0.10/GB instead of $10/GB) many people would probably be able to give up their home internet service.
What if half the population was an entrepreneur?
I think you're inadvertently just proving the point.

I was speaking of declarators, not declaration specifiers. In C, a pointer type is part of the declarator and not the specifiers. Therefore, the CV qualifier is also part of the declarator except for the one exception of the specifier. Regardless of whether specifiers were intended to follow English (and this claim is dubious), declarators certainly were not, since it's often more natural to read them right to left, and it's generally most natural to read the left most type-specifier last.

example:
char *x[10]; Translated to english this is naturally stated as an array of 10 pointers to char. Not char something something array.

Edit: later on I see you've moved the goal posts about the "uselessness" of cv qualifiers on pointers. I don't know what to tell you, I think that's bullshit, and there are a number of viable use-cases for them regardless of whether you have encountered them. I'm just addressing the consistency part here.

Freenas + plex, deluge and openvpn for torrenting (inside a container), iris to host the web front-end, scripts are all just python. I'm sure there are more legit solutions for web scraping but I just parse the html and it hasn't broken on me so far. One set of sites to query for "top x sites", pass titles along to torrent aggregator searches when there are no magnets. Then the important practical step is a background queue to re-encode the video to a standard format and bitrate. I'd rather not open source it because of how dirty the setup is, I just hacked something together one weekend and it's been running for almost 5 years now with minimal maintenance.

Edit: I think iris was something I did more recently, I don't remember what it was using originally. I just wanted to play with go a little bit. The "front end" itself is a single page with an upload button and a box to paste a magnet link, it's not like it's doing much. Plex does all the real work here.
K&R is a well written book, and is very pleasant to read. IMO, it is one of those books that everyone should read one day or the other.

The main thing to watch out about it these days is that K&R is a bit carefree about the numerous ways where you can shoot yourself in the foot using C. For example, K&R famously implements strcpy as `while(dst++ = dst++);`. These days, most people would say that code is excessively terse, and that you shouldn't be using strcpy in the first place (because it can potentially overflow the dst buffer).
I've been using LiftOff (https://store.steampowered.com/app/410340/Liftoff_FPV_Drone_...) to test my drone handling skills in a simulated environment for a while.

Unions spoil workers in collusion with manglement. Manglement surrenders to wage demands and passes it on as higher prices and ups the use of robots which layts off workers. Those left are well paid and they are the older people and the company loses in the market place as imports enter. I recall a time with 500,000 workers at the big three. Now what? 35,000 or so left.
The big problem is 4 year contracts and COLA clauses.
a guy at $15 versus a guy at $35 with health and other benefits automatically paid as they climb.
We need annual contracts, industry wide = no pattern bargaining where they harm the weakest to make them yield wage increases they can not afford and the USA weakens. max 1 year contract, You loes one month = a little over 8% of wages lost. No signing bonuses.
100% strike of all car makers so 2/3rds can not stay at work and cross subsidize the strikers.

and in the COLA increase, the COLA is based on the average of workers. Fringe benefits, health, pensions, legals etc can be $30 PER HOUR all tax free. Make those taxable and allow the workers to have that fringe benefit as cash.
The UAW exists is such a distorted world...

I see what you're aiming at, but technically it's not true. It can be similar though.

The point about how we can only infer their existence from a mass of data is similar to how we talk about deep learning. The pretrained neural net works, but we can't pinpoint why, we can only test it on various data and receive results.

There is no "dog that didn't bark", because we clearly can see the graphs and the correlations.

The way we detect gravitational waves is not "the photon haven't arrived", but "the photon has arrived a few nanoseconds earlier than we expected it". (But multiplied by a few thousands of reflections and detected only by interference pattern, not the photon arrival itself).

So, in a way, it's similar to deviations from paths by which we presume dark matter. But also, it's not that: we are almost certain here that these exact deviations are caused by the gravitational waves, because calculations and because multiple unconnected detectors, and because the form of the graph matches.

It wouldn't be any great upheaval. The component kingdoms of the UK would still be separately sovereign realms of the Commonwealth with the same monarch and royal succession. I imagine the process is now well established, as the Commonwealth has more than 50 countries in it, with 16 of them still constitutional monarchies.
