That's emphatically not what "stick to sports" means.

For a lot of people, sports are an oasis of tranquility carved out of the incessant rage and cultural bickering that blares 24/7 everywhere else. There's a lot of old duffers that would rather hear about David Price's fastball rather than his political positions, or Kyrie Irving's crossover dribble rather than his speculations on the geometry of the Earth.

It's still a weird pivot for Deadspin to take, because that was never what they were about or where their audience was. My suspicion is that it was a reaction to the ratings baths that ESPN has taken as they embraced the culture war, rather than Top 10, box scores and replays - and alienated a big chunk of their audience. In both cases it's a warning about knowing your brand and your audience...

Have you tried fd yet? it's more intuitive than find.

It's more of a, "what is fact and what is opinion," rather than, "what is fact and what is fiction."

"9 out of 10 doctors recommend Colgate," is a fact when Colgate picks the sample of doctors. A trained eye will realize that's actually an opinion, while it's designed to represent a fact. This works because people's opinions can be shaped by presenting an opinion as a majority.

This technique is probably one of the most commonly used and it has many variants, such as, "Your child could be in danger of edibles in their Halloween candy." Technically a fact, but actually a disguised opinion.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but password managers can prevent quite a lot of phishing, because autofill can automatically check the domain.

It would be abundantly obvious to me if I were going to put my paypal password into anything but paypal, for instance, because I wouldn't even have the option. I'd have to copy/paste if I wanted to, which would up my suspicion level to the extreme.

(this is not to downplay security keys though, I think they're very important)

It looks like shit/suspect and inspires the same confidence a .tk domain does. Do you remember those free-awesome-sites.tk urls from the early 2000s?
This is strangely apropos given its namesake.

Could you elaborate on this a bit please?

What is the appliance called? Do all HTTP requests flow through it and anything else bypasses it? Does it store or log any of the requests or responses?
Definitely, I have done so. It all depends on price vs value for me. I sometimes also donate to great software I use or pages.

The beautiful adjective bothers me though.

UX is tricky since it needs a benevolent dictator guiding the aesthetics of the whole system, not just the app.

I don't want it to be just pretty, it needs to be thoroughly thought out, function before looks always. It must play nice with the conventions of the environment it's running in. Avoid unnecessary impositions (stealing focus, modal dialogs, forcing use of a mouse, etc.)
"You live as long as you learn"
This is really interesting to me because Ruby and Python are really close to each other, yet have completely different paradigms.

The syntax, dynamic nature (lack of privates, etc) are so similar yet one is a lot more flexible (Ruby) and another is a lot more explicit (Python).

Ruby is incredibly expressive, the language puts the full power into the authors hands and let them go wild.

There always good arguments on both side of the camp, both have mature web frameworks backed by massive communities. I don't think one is inherently better than the other, it's more a matter of style/mindsets.

I personally love coding in both, in fact today I wrote some ruby code that would run some python code and do stuff with it!
It is a bad trust signal to have a .cc domain. A lot of spam originates from obscure TLDs, which can spark privacy and trust concerns. Especially for a product that aims to store emails and phone numbers.
I have seen that. Though, I hope I am correct in assuming it is in an iframe and thus in-accessible to the hosting site due to browser CORS restrictions.
I'd disagree. Advertising exists in very subtle forms such as mere persuasion and even more subtly, plain information. The background radiation present in the cosmos advertises the big bang's existence.

Back 15 years ago the spouse of one of my coworkers was a registered nurse and there was a shortage and I think nurses could compensation higher than an average software engineer. But later on, he said there was a lot of recruitment of nurses from the Philippines which brought the salaries down. Atleast that is what he used to tell me.
Still, they had hundreds of agents. Czech must have had as many in Germany and Hungary.

Many Germans living in Denmark joined the resistance after the invasion. After the war they were rounded up and handed over to Germany, which executed them immediately: they had betrayed their Fatherland.

Well, I download free books on specific topics, get academic papers, and work out how things work to further my art and science.

In some ways, I've furthered my areas of study and documented them for the world, with a similarity to masters candidates would.

What I've given up on is the "Education System". Classes are too slow - I'll find interesting avenues during learning something, and deep dive and see interconnections with many other areas. I've gotten nothing like this in ANY classroom setting. Traditional class focus only on the grade vs actually learning the material. This might be different in grad school, but never got there. And cost way too much. 2hr/week for 16 weeks at $60/hr is $1920 . Yet, how much is tuition for that class again? Yeah. (Lest to say, the profs themselves get paid less. Whole diff can of worms there too.)

I'm definitely a 'Non-traditional student'. But lets cut the bullshit. It's coded language for "getting a university degree much older than you should have"... Do I get the benefits of 'non-traditional student'? Hah, nope. The base requirement is always some @.edu .
Personally I just hit the back button on those sites. It's obnoxious behavior.
One of the other students in my lab put it this way (very paraphrased):

If you break up the Nobel Prizes and look at the optics based ones, ones that made up some new microscope, or used light in some new way, then Optics becomes a top 5 domain. In that a lot of Nobels come out of manipulating light. And a lot of the time, the sum total 'new thing' worthy of a Nobel is just a single optical object, sometimes it's five, not much more. But, the thing is, if you look at how long those experiments took to preform, from concept to working prototype taking some kind of data, then Optics varies wildly. Some, like DIC imaging, is just a single 1/4 waveplate in the middle, and it took Nomarski nearly a decade and a half to get it just right. Some, like STED, were built in Hell's living room over about a month. And that's the thing about Optics research, it's just blind luck most of the time. Sure, the equations help, but they tend to come after the apparatus is up and running. You can spend a few weekends in your living room in your underwear tinkering about while watching the game, or you can spend your entire career painstakingly laboring in the nauseating dark of the lab all alone. Incremental progress just doesn't seem to be a thing in Optics; you either get it right or you don't. Anyone that has been in totality during an eclipse knows that there is a huge difference between 99% and 100% coverage. Optics is exactly like that.

Well, it's not about my opinion. The cost of launching 1kg to LEO on Falcon 9 is $2700 which is a far cry from $35.

Please note that $2700/kg is still great since older launch systems cost about $5k-$10k/kg. We are still talking about a factor of 2-4, not 100.
A conflict I'm experiencing is planned obsolescence before I even get started. I'm supposed to develop a novel system to accomplish X with the knowledge that X will be replaced by vendor Y.

The simple answer is that's just not how bureaucracies work.

I don't intuitively see why a double word square would be harder to construct than a single word square. After all, if you allow the words to be different, surely there are more options / more degrees of freedom to complete the square?
I was just listening to 'Internet Sucks' by MC Frontalot and it basically has the same message. The old internet was amazing and I also miss it.
Hire a decent IT person, have proper policies installed in the machines and forbid updates that were not vetted by IT.

My company usually lags a quarter behind the latest OS, it about what it takes for it to pass certification.

You're a company, your machines are tools for making money, treat them with the necessary care.
Lots going on in the foundations as well, esp. cosmology. Particle physics is hardly the end all be all. I mean the reality is that for going significantly beyond the Standard Model you just need higher and higher energies -- energies that might even be impossible for humanity to explore ever. One could build a better accelerator which Sabine opposes because it's unclear whether it will yield anything (but honestly that's science. If there were guarantees, it wouldn't be called "research"). Or one can theorize and do thought experiments and hope that one will discover mathematical constraints that rule out a big class of models.

It's not like she has a better plan. She says "new and better methods". I mean that's exactly what physicists try and pursue. I highly doubt that an ambitious young scientist wldn't try and get a cool publication if they could think of a novel theory. But the reality is that novel ideas that fit all the existing experimental constraints are very very very hard to figure out. People work on them but lack of a million new models a year is not because of some groupthink but because physics is hard.

No need to even think of controlling speech. But certainly ban political advertising which amounts to bribery both in theory and practice.

No one could genuinely believe that probating de-facto bribery is indistinguishable from censorship. Indeed it's very telling that banning _all_ political ads is objected to as being allegedly "biased".

I am only in my mid 30s, but losing 20lbs, switching from heavy weight lifting to more cardio/light weight training, taking a few supplements, long stretching sessions and sauna sessions have me feeling more spry than I did when I was 21.

Interesting, I'll have to take a second look at JSX. So far I feel like in certain cases XML is better at declaring objects and their properties (along with their Types). XAML can declare any type and configure it as needed, it is a way of declaring components in a logical fashion. I wonder if JSX/alternatives are a true superset of XML-derived formats. FYI, XAML generates a binary format at compile-time. From my many experiences with desktop applications, the additional code for XAML/UI is required regardless of the languages/frameworks, to control things like animations, behaviors, markup extensions.

Nothing about the product but man, that's a fantastically beautiful and informational website. Reminds me of Stripe
"We're talking access here, at best it's ugly and at worst you've got a gaudy background image(1) and a color scheme that would give the disability compliance officer a stroke. Throwing in bootstrap or a more minimal css framework is a huge step up in terms of presentation."

I'm talking about creating Excel reports based on pulling stuff from (possibly a random assortment of) databases. Where you can use any feature of Excel. Not that the Access application is distributed to people who care what it looks like.

It seems like you can't even imagine a complex report that isn't an interactive application. So I think we're just talking different languages.

Honestly, I was just talking to someone in the organization I work in with the same lack of understanding. He was like "you have a point and click interface that lets you choose some columns from a table and some filters using simple boolean criteria, what else could you (or your manager) want?"

I want the ability to define all the business rules to produce the formatting and munge the data, I guess. And to structure the code in such a way that it's flexible enough to handle major changes. I need regular expressions. I need to run a diff algorithm on text. I need to use XML and REST to talk to SharePoint. I need to scrape information from a system that I only have access to through a web browser.

Basically, I'm using Access/Excel to do what I used to use Qlikview for, or just plain Perl, and it seems to be less of an "impedance mismatch" as people like to say. Also it doesn't cost as much as a car as Qlik licenses did.

> Indeed it's very telling that banning _all_ political ads is objected to as being allegedly "biased"

Easy solution that should make everyone happy: a complete ban on all forms of advertising, on all platforms, in all mediums, without any carve outs for any group, cause, or creed.

Or we can just continue to let some people mind-hack the public so that other people can get rich.
Taming Large Rails Applications with Private ActiveRecord Models
Well, if we make that a metric, it'll be gamed, no? Don't track that at all. The advertisement should run for a set amount of time, and the correct metric to track is successful leads that originate from the campaign, which is easy to measure if you're tracking leads (you really should be) and the campaign has a unique landing page.

Don't bother to track ad clicks (because they can be gamed) and don't sell ads based on clicks (because then they WILL be gamed) and the problem vanishes. Click fraud is a problem the advertising industry created for itself, and other advertising mediums without invasive user-tracking seem to get on just fine without it.
Greenpeace would absolutely be considered political and likely banned, considering the causes they advocate for.

Which, again, means companies like Shell could advertise all they want, but anything that calls them out would be considered political.

There is no implication or distinction made. I'm merely using race as marker to gauge immigration flows. As I explained in the sentence prior to the one you quoted.
I first learned Python back in 1996, when there was just one Python forum where Guido answered any and all questions.

He was gracious and polite enough not to call me a dumbass for not realizing that tabs were a requirement, not an option.

That was also when I became a tab-convert.

Thank you Guido for this incredible tool that has helped so many others actualize their solution aspirations.
Browser based password managers solve this.
My personal anecdotes are many but most of the elderly that I knew to be highly active, sociable and of sound mind were people who did stuff that was engaging and social. The only real limiting factor for the elderly that I knew well was when they had health problems (falls, stroke, heart attack, etc.) that they didn't recover from due to age.

I would suggest that if you see retirement in your future then getting a long lasting hobby (gardening, wood working, etc), a simple side job or even volunteering (hospitals need volunteers for so many things) to make retirement a period where your mind/body is used.

> Are you assuming that everyone out there views ads the way you do?

I think 99.9% of ad block users who understand what ad blocking is would agree that they would not start unblocking ads because they loaded faster.
I am not a fan of Rust’s documentation. To take one example: sending a HTTP request. There is tons of documentation of properties of the the HTTP classes built into the standard library, but it is extremely hard to find an example of working code. Wouldn’t a simple usage example of something like sending a single HTTP request be one of the most useful things to document?

As far as I can tell, the best-documented approach is to use some external library and ignore the http support built into Rust.
> My personal opinion is that they do too much; if you name your syslog port "grpc" by accident, goodbye traffic! What was supposed to be documentation is now just an undocumented part of the Kubernetes API.

To be fair, a LOT of things in the Kubernetes world can rely on port names. Service and Ingress resources can use them to target ports on pods (or services, in the case of Ingress resources). Port names are responsible for the name of DNS SRV protocol specifiers for headless services as well.
Work is the way you contribute back into society. Going to work and doing my job is my way of knowing that I'm giving back into the system that allows me and my family to live. I find it far more fulfilling than anything else.

Hobbies I hate. By definition I'm an amateur and I don't perform well. At my job, I get to exercise the skills I'm best at.

I can't do any old job though. I have to be able to trace at least a thin line from what I'm doing to the broader society.

I know this isn't a common opinion, but I encourage you to at least consider that work—while not fun—is at least a fulfilling way to spend your time. This should be the case regardless of what you do or how much you make.

You haven't mentioned exercise. What's your training routine? How many hours a day are you sitting down?

Most back pains get better by making your back muscles stronger, less prone to cramping. Even for some types of injuries such as intervertebral disc damage, having strong back muscles help compensate the position of the back that causes the episodes.

You should at the very minimum be doing it three times a week with a good trainer.

In my case, I have a muscle behind my left shoulder blade that tends to cramp and it's super annoying. Also if I stop exercising for more than a couple of weeks my lower back tends to start to complain about it.

- one: not my example; it was introduced by someone as a rhetorical jab by trying to introduce an emotionally-charged subject. The point doesn't depend on religion in any particular way, and I'm happy to rephrase it.

- two: I think this is fine. In an example where a bunch of people are sitting in a bar and a big group starts bullying a smaller group, someone who does nothing is allowing this to happen, and we can attribute moral responsibility for them allowing this to happen. Just because everyone knows that it's normal for someone to always get bullied by the larger group doesn't make it okay. If someone doesn't know or understand that bullying is wrong, assigning moral responsibility is more complicated, but neither of those things depend on their knowledge of the frequency of bullying. There is a way in which available information is important, but not this one.
Thanks I think you're correct. It's hard to take the clear disapointment from my bosses. But I can't do what I can't do and just have to aim to be better at a pace that I can. Some emotional disipline might be the best way to go. Am I doing better, rather than am I living up to the hopes of my bosses.

It's scary though would I be employable if I disapoint them too much. Will I get a terrible reference? Who knows.

The topic was whether journalists know how to run their business given all their critique.

I pretty much just look at my credit card statement every week or so when I push they "pay it off" button. It's not that hard. I do cancel subs to stuff, but while I have several it's not so hard to analyze that I can't do it while looking at a CC statement.
