This assertion is false. The purchase of shares creates upwards pressure on the stock price, which reduces cost of capital.

Video game culture before FPSs and an anti-woman sentiment in the industry was very different. That's what I grew up in and I miss that generation of games very much.

Even the war games were rich stories with detailed systems. While I respect the tech aspects of what came after, it's well-accepted that game design contracted in on itself as the majority of the money in PC gaming went to FPS games.
Not-Invented-Here
>After a ton more googling I managed to find a chat buried somewhere deep in Reddit which listed the magical indentation that purges reserved space. It consisted of running tmutil from the command line and giving it a bunch of command line arguments that did not seem to make sense or have any correlation to the thing that I wanted to do. But it did work and eventually I got XCode updated.

I had this exact problem recently. There's a simpler, safer solution. Delete files to free up enough space. They're moved to "Reserved Space", and when the system fails to delete them to free up space for new installs/updates, you run

sudo purge

in the commandline.

Wait 20m or so and the Reserved Space should be emptied and your hard drive free space again.

Guess you're not from NYC based on your post. So Brooklyn is the highest price real estate these days, with many apartments, brownstones and lofts renting for many 000s per month. Harlem has gone through a renaissance, with townhouses on formerly blighted blocks undergoing renovation and selling for $2-5MM. These are places that were used as crack houses in the late 80s and 90s. Word has it, new arrivals to the city are moving way up in the Bronx, but the commute is next to impossible. Suburbs are also ridiculously expensive places to rent or own. The problem, as this article states, is not yuppies wanting to live beyond their means, but an entire city full of wealthy. Yes, if you're a successful professional, you can afford something, but that pool of affordable housing is shrinking daily. I worked and lived in NYC for 30 years and I don't recognize it today.
Tips on Choosing a Career
Though it wasn't the cause I'd still like to say I find time changing the most draconian and invasive practice, I absolutely hate it.

I mostly try to ignore it when it comes to sleep, which I can fortunately more or less do. My kids are young enough that they can pretty much just maintain their existing schedule.
The policy is about recommending polite speech in a public forum where rules to this effect have been enforced for a long time. And it's articulating what that means to people who don't understand what pronouns are for.

That some people may use a pronoun other than the one on their birth certificate is the way things are going in the modern world, so polite use of the language must take this into consideration.

I have living aunts and uncles and grandparents who still think it's okay to refer to dark skinned persons, and with all politeness, as "Negro." I take it on to school them and, yes, compel them to use polite and accepted speech.

By the way, there is no society or culture without compelled and enforced norms, which by the way are what's under debate underneath all this.
In addition to zoning:

Part of Dodd-Frank made it extremely difficult for contractors to finance new spec houses, or any housing that didn't participate in a federal multi-family housing program. Only the most financially stable companies could stay in the market.

Otherwise, construction companies have to find customers (to do the actual financing) before they can start building. This means the market is always trying to catch up, but never really can.

Sure, if you just install it for that. But it's a reasonably common service (e.g. around here, many universities have it for their employees and students) with that feature.
Because dual stack is a hassle. It doubles your operational workload - which is a big deal in a large network. IMHO, we'll only see large scale IPv6 adoption when it becomes possible to deploy an v6 only network and translate to/from v4 at the edge for legacy edge cases.

Facebook already does this - everything is IPv6 only inside their datacentres, and the only dual stack devices are their load balancers at the edge. They had to do this because they were running out of RFC1918 address space to use internally for IPv4, and the traffic was already going through the dual stack load balancers anyway.

On the access side, mobile networks are also going v6 only. EE here in the UK (sometimes) only gives you an IPv6 network and uses 464XLAT to NAT you when you want to reach an IPv4 only address. They can do that because they know what devices all their users are using, and can whitelist recent versions of both Android and iPhone which have CLATs in them which makes 464XLAT possible.

Fixed line residential and business connectivity is much harder - laptops and smartphones will work just fine with IPv6 only, but people expect their games console or old networked print server to work, and frequently they only support IPv4. What's needed there is islands of IPv4 on their LAN and a 464XLAT compatible CLAT inside the customer's router - then the entire ISP network can be v6 only apart from a few NAT64 devices at the edge. I'm sure that will come, but it hasn't happened yet.

It will happen - mass adoption is inevitable IMHO. There are new internet users and services being added every day, and there aren't enough IPv4 addresses for all of them. It's either IPv6 and 464XLAT or IPv4 only with CGNAT. And CGNAT is expensive - keeping state for all those connections makes for expensive boxes with lots of memory.
There are other things under the hood. Things that a desktop OS can't do anymore, not today.

Your password manager kWallet is, once unlocked at system start, an unencrypted file where any application can access any password.

If kMail fetches a signed mail in background, you'll be unexpectedly prompted to accept the certificate with no indication where the pop-up came from.

Password dialogues have no priority whatsoever. When a password dialogue pops up just before another application starts, you're likely to enter your password into the wrong dialogue.
What does systems mean here? There is a dirty trick with a NOP and self rewriting code that's quite cheap when not triggered. I think java does it that way.
There's way too much being read into a statement which begins with "likely". There are plenty of things in life that are hard to explain in a way that doesn't lead to misunderstandings which are also not very consequential.

For example, when people ask what I do, I could say I work at an ISP, or that I'm a systems engineer (my title), or that I'm a system administrator (some of what I do), or that I'm a software developer (the rest of what I do), or any number of other things. Depending on how interested in it I think they will be, or how interested in explaining it I am, I might respond that it's likely not that interesting.

If the person asking actually wants to pursue it further, the polite thing to do would be to say "oh, I find it interesting, if you're willing to talk about it". If they responded "How do you know what's interesting to me?" I would take that as somewhat aggressive, and definitely wouldn't be interested in explaining further, depending on how I perceived their disposition.

Perhaps it's a cultural miscommunication.
> Their core business - ridesharing - has improved their gross margin and unit economics quarter-over-quarter to the point that operating and discounting losses here are almost non-material (less than $22m total worldwide this quarter, representing less than 1/2 a percent of total ride sharing revenue).

That's pretty good. Seems like there's a huge incentive to just start a bunch of big projects when you raise such giant rounds of money.

i think it's just standard hire/lay off routine. It's not about the employees that get laid off.

The purpose of the lay offs is to keep everyone else working even harder. People will work even harder to keep their jobs.
The real solution is a single major social healthcare program, throughout all the states paid for by federal taxes.

A single major provider of healthcare will have better negotiating powers than the multitude of hospitals and insurance programs as is at the moment.

Of course, with it being federally funded, the health system will be wanting to keep costs down. Congress can help this by forcing bad actors to behave ethically by removing their licenses to operate, and stripping them of their patents. Something other governments have done in the past.

this assumes the labor/client pool in a given area is infinite, and that management skill is not a factor.

e.g. good managers who take care of their dancers/customers get the best dancers and so attract the best customers.
Additional food for thought. Elsewhere, in 4.10.5.1.2 (Text (type=text))...

"If the element is mutable, its value SHOULD (emphasis mine) be editable by the user. User agents must not allow users to insert U+000A LINE FEED (LF) or U+000D CARRIAGE RETURN (CR) characters into the element's value."

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/input.html

So, according to this spec, the UA is allowed to make an input field type=text non-editable if it so chooses.

Would you argue that this is another place where Chrome would be allowed to act in a manner differently than expected, because "SHOULD" was used?

Morality differs from legality, a distinction you yourself make late in your comment. It's also a distinction that renders the first two-thirds of your comment pointless.

Yes, I am aware of, so called, intellectual property. I can only assume you knew that I was aware of it. So what is your point?
I find `git describe` pretty human-usable. (I use it in a lot of automated processes.) You still need to tag every now and then, as the format is based on the most recent tag, but it tells you a bunch of useful information fairly compactly and almost semver compliant (in many cases you want to swap the first hyphen with a plus for true semver compliance if your tags are semver releases). It's format:

{mostRecentAnnotatedTag}-{numberOfCommitsAfter}-g{headCommitShortHash}

Such as: v2.0.3-3-g1cafe9

That has enough information to get you back to exactly which branch was built (3 commits after v2.0.3 with a hash starting 1cafe9). Of course if you git describe when you've checked out the tagged commit itself you just get the tag back v2.0.3.

It's not as simple as simple "revision ID", but it is pretty simple.

In some of my CI pipelines I've been considering swapping my simple `git describe` tricks for `git-version` to make it easier to get more semver-like build metadata in order to CD them, but I've also considered just regexing that first hyphen to a plus and calling it a day.

The case law on that topic is against it, for what it's worth, but hard to find because it's such a silly argument no one really tries it. They probably think what they do as an excuse to implement DRM and maintain some control over their platform.

If you look at gun mods you might get somewhere. These do actually fail in ways that harm people as they're made to contain explosions. Has the user of a modified device ever been able to sue? No.
I don't care how downvoted I get, I'll never call someone a made up pronoun. There is no word as xir as xe or latinx and i'm not participating in what I'd consider alarming participation of a mental illness. If you want me to call you he, or she, or as pointed just they, I don't think that's asking much. And I'll probably make a mistake, just mention it and move on. But the second you force this crap onto me, I'm out, which I'm sure pleases both sides.
Huh thats pretty interesting. Might as well pile up sheets on the floor and sleep there if it comes down to that.

Your sarcasm aside, there isn't a free market for food. There's tons of intervention.

There's intervention on the supply side, with direct financial subsidies for particular products. There are indirect subsidies like those Snake River dams, which allow farmers in Idaho to cheaply float their crops down to the coast, and which are helping to destroy the salmon population. There are government advice programs like the USDA old "food pyramid" which is pretty much wrong, but shifted demand for foods for decades.

And, of course, there's intervention on the demand side, with food stamps. Essentially, socialized food but only for people who nominally can't afford it.

Sure but looking back, I can also tell you that almost all great ideas I have ever had were initially rejected.

For a long time I thought this was due to poor presentation. Then one day it hit me: the reason boss/coworker doesn't get it is the same reason why he could not come up with the idea himself.

I think it has a lot more to do with the complete inability of the US to import drugs from other countries. I don't know why it's not legal and highly regulated to do so. People are already doing it illegally with fentanyl, imported from China. We could better stop that if we had a system in place to combat it and allow it for certain categories of drugs. US firms have no competition or reason to lower prices. Add that to long FDA processes and it's incredibly expensive to compete.
If it's harder to find a job in the next five years as a senior engineer, it will likely be because the economy is in a recession or because of simple reversion to the mean, not because of too many entry-level engineers entering the workforce. If there was any time when entry-level engineers were flooding the market, it was during, like, 2013, when Google and Facebook were hiring like crazy.

If a new drug isn't useful it doesn't matter if the manufacturer has exclusive rights to it.

If people are buying/being prescribed drugs that don't improve their health that's a different problem that won't be solved by changing intellectual property law.
> The same kind of logic can be used to tear down other types of relationships—like founder/cofounder relationships, business/employee relationships, or business/vendor/contractor relationships.

The legal structure around these relationships promote, rather than attack the alignment of incentives. The legal structure cannot be a replacement for trust, but it does have an effect (which is why it exists at all).

> If you view relationships in these win/loss terms they are never going to make sense.

Everyone views relationships in this way. The more intimate and trusting the relationship (e.g. marriage), the more advantage there is in decreasing legibility [1] in order to enhance stability. However, people still track contribution in low legibility relationships, just more fuzzily. If there is an imbalance that is too great for too much time, the relationship will tend to fail.

It's to keep fear of lay offs high thus making people work harder. this is especially effective with H1Bs.

However, some well qualified engineers won't be bullied by such routines: they'll simply go work somewhere they're appreciated.

Assuming this is a powered craft, you can add powered inflate/deflate and get that time down to probably less time than driving around to your floor in a parking garage would have been.

Leaks and weight are still a problem. Although, you could take the bounce house approach and always run the inflator and not fully seal (may reduce the effectiveness of power deflation).
Oh yes, absolutely. My answer seems dismissive because I mostly follow the NBA, but in fact the relationship between the number of games, ticket prices, and factors affecting attendance is a fascinating topic.
I know. And I wouldn't drop 11% of my paycheck in a single month on a yearlong membership to anything.

“The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.”

Almost as bad as the reaction when China "reminded" the NBA to respect China's views on Hong Kong.
The answer is actually no, you can't muffle the sound without ruining the aerodynamics that allow it to fly. Or at least, nobody knows how.
Here's the conundrum that players like FinFischer probably encounter:

Not too many years ago, Turkey was a lot less demonized/shady. Imagine you establish a working relationship with them to help them combat "criminals", all is well for a time. Then, over the last few years, the outside perspective of Turkey is that it is an oppressive regime fighting people who are actually (considered by us) "freedom fighters". But the business relationships are still in place, and Turkey still believes it is fighting "criminals".

My point is that the definition of who is in fact "criminal" starts to get really blurry depending on who you are asking and what side they are on, and may vary over time.

China's angry because to them, the protesters in Hong Kong are "destabilizing terrorists" and aiding them is "a hostile act towards China". It's all relative, unfortunately.

Incumbents have a monopoly because of safety regulatory controls inherent to the market, not "indirection".

Companies that have the capital to invest into 15 years of clinical trials are going to dominate the market.

Rather the lowering safety regulations for pharmaceuticals, a better solution would be to offer funding, grants, loans or to use capital redistribution mechanisms for helping new market entrants in drug research. This lowers the monopolistic barrier to entry while still retaining the necessary level of quality.
I use Ubuntu with Cinnamon when I can. It supports almost everything, and is endlessly flexible, looks nice. Supports a full data science stack + GPU.

My work provided me with a Macbook pro which is fine since I run everything in docker anyway, the hardware looks nice but the keyboard sucks. Each key has like .5mm clearance and one grain of dirt will stop it from working. I would never buy another mac because their walled garden policy is terrible.

I use windows for gaming, but hate developing on it. What can I say, it works as a casual desktop. Except if you want to move it to a new drive, or do anything beyond web browsing and video games.

They are all okay, not sure why there is so much vitriol in this thread.
