If Microsoft really wanted to help Skype security it would be pretty easy to realise an account has been hacked when people are suddenly message a link to all their contact list they never have for 10 years.

The amount of time I've gotten those obviously spammy links form people I have never talked to in a decade plus.... cant be hard to red flag these.
Very impressive. Language-generation models have really come a long way.
I don't much like standups, but I've noticed that they tend to end up being a hard start to the day. When we had them at 9:30, people would tend to always get in to the office by at least 9:15. When we kick them back to 10:30, people tend to straggle in up to 10, 10:15. Generally, people adjust to whatever the time is, so they have some minutes to get settled and triage their email; you usually can't actually get anything done unless you come in a couple hours before in the morning, and trying to start anything and pause for the meeting is a mess, because of the risk of getting diverted onto something else as a result of the standup.
Surely they can just change the binary slightly with every patch and move the gadgets around in memory or just remove them outright.
Humility
Why it it so hard to admit to our foibles-that we are not going to remake world in our vision-that we are all just equals-that our greatest contribution might be to advocate and be successful in generating more love than had existed before. An incalculable good and incalculable ROI!

Besides whatever regulatory hurdles I imagine you would run into, you can basically leave it in a dry stable underground place for much longer than any of us will live. Old salt mines.

Does Docker support target OSes other than Linux? I'd love to have a way to test on non-Linux OSes.
Depending on how big they’re talking, year long cycles are not uncommon.
how is this any different from a chess club of a sports club? Seriously, all of those clubs demand many hours of dedication.

If you do a sport in highschool you basically have to be able to get 4 hours of sleep and deal with it
That’s gonna be a yikes from me, dog.

Edited this (since you did as well) to say that simply pointing to statistics and saying that “facts don’t care about your feelings” is sophomoric and probably intentionally disingenuous. For instance, statistically in the US black people are more likely to commit crimes than white people. So should we implement systems that target suspects based on the color of their skin? Obviously not. There is a very important confounding factor, socioeconomic status, which happens to be very correlated with skin color in the US due to a long history of racial discrimination. So saying that “these systems should not be racially biased” is an important criteria.
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, my last car, phone, laptop, all lasted much longer (3-6x) than their respective warranties.
You can and many people do.

However it is not silliness to detail regional variations in spelling, particularly when, as in this case, they give clues to lines of heritage.
Shouldn't that be spelled "Kentuckey"?
Usually some combination of marketing and high-touch sales. Marketing makes buyers want to buy the product[1], and sales converts interest into a contract.

For B2B it usually takes three months from first contact to closed deal. That means you need a healthy pipeline of deals to keep the cash flowing.

Crossing the Chasm[2] is a must-read and classic book about marketing and selling B2B software.

Reward them extremely well when they over perform. One sales person can easily create more ARR than 3 or 4 average ones. Make sure you pay them accordingly, and you can save yourself a lot of headaches and wasted hires.
There are a lot of people asking to disable autoplay even on silent videos. The main reason is they want to save bandwidth.

Wish I could offer more votes.

Having the right sales (not marketing) person can be the difference between success and something else. The right sales person can target and create a relationship the wrong person will just waste resources.

The most successful companies founders I've seen combo of sales and technical. If you are a technical solo founder get an experienced sales vp and give them 20%.

Marketing is usually a team effort so a more junior team can help. Don't hire someone to do both.. hire for sales first.

Sales before tales.
Haha if this was office reference
My post was in no way meant to be exhaustive but it's good to know that since you failed to list any of my other shortcomings in life that you believe me to be otherwise perfect. Afterall, you failed to list all of my failures so you must be assuming they don't exist.
I played football all Highschool, started school at 8am (so bus at 7-715), done with football by 6pm.

This leaves you 4-5 hours depending on how long it takes you to get ready. This is more than enough to do homework, though some days definitely sucked more than others. In my opinion it helped develop valuable time management skills.
Unicode was invented to avoid the kind of thing you are suggesting, and that's why it is popular.

ASCII doesn't even cover all of the characters and symbols that are normally used by English speakers.
Some parents actively prevent their children from sleeping enough. Eg your brother will bother us if you don’t let him play on his computer in your shared bedroom until 3am and we are too tired to deal with it, so figure it out yourself.
We could argue the merits of paying video games against something like chess club, but that's not the argument I'm making. I'm only saying that, if you stay up until 1-2am, you're going to have a hard time pretty much anywhere unless they let you roll in at 10.

For my part, I still play video games, slept through most of school, got kicked out, taught myself to program at 22, and have been working in the field for 14 years now. I won't take a job with a strict in-time because I know I have a hard time getting to bed early.

I'm not bashing video games, but you have to take some responsibility. School at 10 wouldn't work well for a variety of reasons, even if I wish it were possible.
This is why I always file the day before the deadline.

Yes, although Unicode is still a mess. (One thing Unicode is good for though (if you removed the emoji and a lot of other stuff) is searching documents in multiple languages all from one interface. However, someone on IRC mentioned Duocode, and I think that would be even better for such purpose. But for other purposes it can be variously less good.)
Rejection doesn’t mean difficulty. All of my worst students work for one of those companies. All of my best were rejected by the same company. Trust me; the competence gap was astronomical.
Isn't it inevitable the SpaceX will (and already does) dominate the entire space industry?

Won't it be cheaper to launch on starship than anythign else even for very small payloads? Yes, I know about RocketLab but I wonder if they will be able to survive once starship is up and running.
Then people have strange assumptions.

Once a service starts blocking malicious links, the obvious next step is to conceal the link through some sort of indirection.
It's a type confusion mistake (-1, meaning "no user ID", being the same type as an actual user ID). Idiomatic Rust would largely prevent this kind of mistake (you'd use an enum type, with a distinct value for "no user"), as long as someone first writes an idiomatic Rust wrapper for the syscalls.

Obviously, if you write the Rust the same way you'd write the C, then yeah, the mistake is equally likely to happen. Rust encourages style that avoids this kind of problem, but it can't enforce it.
He's probably referring to [1], but he's wrong about UAC (note the sentence "UAC is not a security feature" on that post—the fact that he himself had to put quotes around "security" is itself telling), and moreover, I never claimed anything about UAC in the first place. He's ignoring my point and changing the topic, so I'm not inclined to reply.

> it's over a much larger area and time-span - all of Scotland, and 200 years. So it's expected there would be more cases.

You're half right and half badly wrong. 10 deaths per year being a higher number is less surprising when you consider that the statistic covers a wider area. It's much more surprising if the statistic covers a huge span of time! You expect the rate to go back to something normal, not to maintain itself at severely elevated levels for 200 straight years.
As one of those people, it's because, as a developer, I hate knowing I'm going to be interrupted in X amount of time. Obviously if it was something like 11, 1130, it'd be different. But if with no standup I'd get to the office at 915, but the standup is at 10, I don't think I'd get any valuable piece of work done in that 45 minutes.
> But everyone on the Chandler team has a different vision of what that means, and in the absence of pressure to ship, Chandler becomes the union of everyone's ideas. Instead of borrowing from successful similar products like Outlook/Exchange, the Chandler team is determined to invent something entirely new from first principles. They want to support user plug-ins and scripting, built-in encryption, storage of messages in multiple folders and infinitely customizable user views. As the project goes on, the simple replacement for Outlook/Exchange grows more and more complicated.

> No decision is ever final. Time and again, the Chandler team hashes out compromises on complex issues, only to hit reset when someone new joins the project with new ideas or when it turns out that someone wasn't really satisfied with the compromise.

God, this whole process happens within my own head on most of my projects, especially games. It's infuriating.
Like those pesky private space firms ruining the world.

Do we have 'one' example where private firefights fought a fire on a private house out of interest?

Not just the ones they acknowledged were made up? Just so we can leave our heads and have concrete examples where our outrage should be.

For instance it seems like insurance companies seem to be doing most of this, which are open to anyone - https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-private-firefig...
I don't think that's a fair demand of a schoolboy (at the time)
I was super lucky that they were taught in freshman chemistry. It made it more familiar seeming later on I'm sure.

I agree about thermo, it has an unexpected amount of symmetry. It wasn't until my third time taking a thermo course that I think I really started to get it.

I had a professor that I just straight up asked "why?" and his response was "because sometimes we want to know numbers that are hard to measure so we come up with ways to represent them using things that are easy to measure". That is by a wide margin the most practically coherent reasoning for the importance of thermo I've ever gotten, and suddenly all the seemingly arbitrarily PDE manipulation made perfect sense.

Although I think the basics like "what is entropy" are pretty generally useful regardless of if you ever touch the PDEs or free energy equations.
I'd be inclined to agree with you. In fact, as I understand it there are new rules that specifically address so called "with a computer" patents. You weren't supposed to be able to patent a math formula, so instead, people would patent a machine that carries out a math formula.
99% Of Marin County To Be Affected By PG&E Power Shutoff
A lot of the value of being in a department is being able to have these shortcuts. I remember as an undergrad in physics asking why we didn't use imaginary time to formulate special relativity? The grad students around me by and large looked puzzled and said they had never thought of it. A very, very experienced nuclear/mathematical physicist said, "Oh, yeah, folks did try that back in the early 20th century. It works fine, but you have to go to a full metric for general relativity, so why carry around two formalisms?" I contemplated that for about thirty seconds, said, "That makes sense," and happily put aside the question.

It vindicates your thinking in that it indicates that you are picking up the techniques that professionals use to generate ideas. You just have to accept that as you're learning, most of the ideas will have been generated and addressed.

What gets awkward is when you're doing interdisciplinary research and you're using the generative mechanisms from one discipline in the other. By and large both sides stare at you in confusion, or it requires multiple hour conversations to lead the other discipline's practitioners into a mental space where they can say, "Oh, yeah, that wouldn't be useful because of X." It makes the process of tuning your idea generation much slower. On the flip side, you hit the unknown way faster, sometimes great vistas of unknown where everyone goes, "Umm...wow. Yeah. Never heard of that continent. Let us know what you find."
I think that it depend what you need to cooperate with.
SDI was the actual initiative, Star Wars was the derogatory nickname. Star Wars involved a science fiction plot taking place in space which critics believed described SDI perfectly. It was also timely since Return of the Jedi would be released a few months after the SDI announcement in 1983... so Star Wars was already on people's minds.
The question isn't whether or not they'd prefer it when they were alive, it's whether we should care now that they're dead.

I'm willing to bet you agree with this notion in principle, and would just like to quibble about the time scale. Or do you think that if we unearthed something that's clearly private correspondence on a clay tablet from ancient Sumer that it should be kept private?

In this specific case, I'm willing to bet that if someone were to say "this secret should be kept from my grandchildren after I'm dead" it's exactly the sort of thing their living grandchildren would have an interest in knowing about, and that interest should outweigh a dead person's privacy.
In college, I remember just dropping on my bed on Fridays at 5 PM and sleeping for a couple of hours. It’s not that I was overworked, I just didn’t take care to get enough sleep during the week.
I really don't think it has anything to do with the hours. Children/teenagers will try to get away with as much as they can. It's more about being rebellious.

My elementary, high school, and middle school all started at different times (and my senior year of high school started much later because I completed enough credits).

Regardless of how late school started, I would just stay up later, the later school started. I usually got around 6 hours of sleep/night and would be very tired during the day. I now know that I need at least 7 hours to be functional.

Now I do think everyone has a different level of sleep they can function on, but the time a person goes to bed has little to do with it.

This is just another excuse that today's parents are giving because they don't want to take screens away or discipline their children.
okay, so let's hold the meeting at 9:30am.
Drinking Less Solved a Lot of Problems
Maybe you're thinking of Caffeine?

Insomnia the REST client is great -- I love having a native Mac alternative to Postman. Team syncing works really well, you don't even have to think about it.
While there is truth to what you are saying, there is no particular requirement for stating a day with a standup.

I find it's a glorified catch-up session and can be held equally successfully at 2pm. People can generally use their morning productively without it.

I also find written form of standup more valuable than the verbal one.
Here’s to a single stage to orbit craft a la Kerbal space program’s RAPIER engine (although it’s probably still not realistic to expect better than two stage due to the rocket equation)
This article is just one person's experience, but I feel it echos something a growing number of people are feeling these days. Some have already taken concrete steps (like the author did), while some are still contemplating next steps (like I am), with the knowledge that frequent drinking -- even in small quantities -- is not working out for them.
My reasoning was that if you thought it were the norm, it wouldn't be worth mentioning. And you talk about it as a 'most interesting' example so it seems unlikely you didn't consider it an anomaly.
Reforms
Massive Reforms needed to follow Jaoan as a Model.
The Kindle's real failure is the lack of a bigger screen. For effective reading of Textbooks/Technical papers etc. a 10-13 inch screen is a must. They did start off with a 10 inch screen but have regressed to the current 6-7 inch format which are good only for the "popular" books.

The best would be to design a dual screen book-like device like the "Surface Neo/Duo" but with e-Ink display (preferably colour) and give me an easy and affordable way to download Technical papers/Textbooks (mainly in PDF format). Allow markup/annotations and the ability to print/export notes/everything and every Student/Teacher/Professor will buy one. Bonus if i can use it as a second monitor (ala Onyx Boox Max 2). No other distractions are needed. All the money goes into the display and giving me a complete immersive book-like experience.
How Python is the “glue” in my school bus home
My point remains: is there any actual safety concern with putting nuclear waste underground other than potential groundwater pollution if the containment casks get perforated (which can be avoided by not burying waste where there's groundwater)?

The only scenarios that people have presented in which nuclear waste could result in contamination are borderline absurd, like if humanity hypothetically loses all records of where waste is buried along with knowledge of what radiation is and some future civilization might dig up the waste canisters and crack them open.
In favor of what, though? You can replace Premiere with Avid and InDesign with Quark, but what replaces After Effects? PhotoShop? Illustrator? And for the professionals that depend on these tools, retraining is a major pain, equivalent to saying to an experienced vim user that they have to switch to BBEdit.
Agreed. In most cases, you can afford to not hire the absolute best tech talent (assuming you aren't trying to break ground on new tech frontiers), but you should get the best sales talent possible, almost always.
>After shutting the inlet cone off at Mach 5.14, and at an altitude of 28.5 km, the system continues as a closed-cycle high-performance rocket engine burning liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen from on-board fuel tanks

the benchmark of today - SpaceX - separates the first stage at Mach6-8 at 65-80km height. Thus, the SpaceX second stage has less delta-v to add and don't have to carry all that weight - the SABRE would naturally be bigger than the 2nd stage for the same payload. The economical space related case of HOTOL/SABRE single-stage-to-orbit pretty much disappeared for a foreseeable future when SpaceX started to recover the 1st stage. That not to say about suborbital flights SF-Shanghai though. Or even "just" hypersonic as SABRE tech seems to successfully deal with one of the major/key obstacles for it (and that is huge, i'm in no way trying to dismiss their work). And one can see how SABRE can be used in some cases as a convenient 1st stage, i.e. by being able to launch from any big airport instead of only specially designed spaceports (such a 1st stage would probably be better than that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_(rocket)#Carrier_aircr...).
vecs.i.(j,k) = images.i.j.k

This converts a 3D array to a 2D array, with the indices of the 2nd dimension being tuples. This syntax is really nice.

If the array shapes are types though, then what happens when you have to read a matrix from file and you don't know the shape of the matrix?
Can anyone recommend a small, durable Chromebook (or other laptop) that plays well with Linux? The Dell XPS-13 looks amazing but that’s a little over my budget at the moment.

Yes, heating is the key issue. While elaborate setups are possible, there are more productive ways to apply that effort.
This is a fascinating look back at the beginnings of CSS and JavaScript. Back then it was the wild west and anything seemed possible. I kinda miss those days at times. This was about the time I was in university, just learning the very basic concepts of CSS and JavaScript. Now we have “stacks” that provide so many layers of abstraction that hardly anyone in my field actually knows the underlying core trinity (JavaScript, CSS, and HTML). In fact, many seasoned web app developers I know have no clue how to construct basic tables. I’ve spoken to countless developers (one in fact who has a PhD in GIS) who was not aware that the ONLY thing browsers understand are those three things - there is no other magic under the hood. And don’t get me started on transpiled languages like Coffeescript and TypeScript. I actually had an argument with a developer who thought that browsers natively understood these languages. I had to prove this by showing him in the debugger that the browser only loaded .js files. I’m not saying these tools don’t have merits, but the farther away we get from what browsers actually use, the harder it will be to understand, debug, and fix the products we create.

In my opinion, that leaves you no time to do anything "unstructured". No time to socialize with family or neighbors, no time to just go explore and wander or experiment, no time to learn to cook with one's parents or participate in cultural activities that may not be reflected in the school year.

I don't mind sports, but the way it's placed on a pedestal in the US above all other activities is ridiculous to me. Not keen on homework that takes over after school hours either.
