They have no right to do that, at ALL. Legally, an employer can give you zero paid vacation, but if they require you to be reachable during YOUR weekend, it's their f---ing problem that they can't structure the team to have no fallbacks. In the least, have a rotation plan.
I used AWS Cloudwatch and some simple server side checks (ianheggie/health_check for Rails is great) for a very long time.

It's not perfect, but it's (1) cheap (2) easy (3) quick (the mythical trifecta). It misses some of issues due to high loads (but still technically available) but works perfectly when things actually crash (like queue workers deciding to turn off).
Oh, I was referring to how In'n'Out will slice a whole onion (in concentric rings, still attached) and put that on your burger, while McD's uses diced onions sprinkled over the top. Used an unfortunate phrase to describe it, because onion rings are also a real side dish (which I don't associate with any fast food joints - more like clam shacks and stuff). Maybe that makes it a bad example anyway, if nobody knows what I'm talking about.
>It is AZ, there is no rain nor snowflakes falling

This is so understated. This car was basically driving in ideal conditions at night for a self-driving car. If it can't avoid a hit under these conditions, it clearly wasn't ready to be on the road.
> I can understand it with JavaScript: browser environment was crippled and node copied that instead of making proper threading available.

This is false.

Single-threaded async for the server side was popularized by nginx, which started in 2002. Somewhere in 2007-2009 the Tornado web server showed that even Python could be fast and scalable using this model. In 2009 when node was first released, single-threaded async was already a thing.

What made node interesting was that it came with a pre-existing language where nonblocking code was idiomatic. This removes a lot of the pain of single-threaded async that you see in something like Java where it's easy to accidentally use a blocking call. And speaking of Java, that's also where multithreaded is painful because generally you have mutability, so you really need to know what you're doing to avoid race conditions. At every line where you mutate anything, you have to ask yourself, "what if the thread gets preempted here?" In JavaScript you only have to ask the equivalent question on lines where you see `await`.
Assuming we are talking about generating electricity at scale, you can probably count the number of private entities with enough cash to finance a project like ITER on one hand, and it would be a massive loss to them if it failed. And even if private-ITER worked, you still only have a prototype, not an actual product you can sell.

This is not something any VC-investor I know of would risk or can afford.
The Brits would also require it to be a non-locking knife, for some reason. I prefer a knife that locks open, for safety reasons. But the UK government, in its infinite wisdom, says no.
Is it inevitable? That indicates a teleology and feels to this reader like a bogus question.

I don't think so, but this question is for one's doctors and spiritual directors (if one is on that path). With that being said, antidepressants are nowhere near as dramatic in immediate change of perception as psychedelics are.
It does depend a bit on where the rural area is - in the Dakotas and other western states the highway limit is 80 mph, without much in the way of interstitial towns. Even so, you're not starting or ending on an interstate, so averaging higher than 65 or so is largely out of the question.
Looking at the description, it seems that Fastly supports web assembly and Rust is one of the languages that can compile to web assembly.

However to show my excitement about Rust, I will be appending " - supports Rust" to any announcement I post. For example:

Dell releases new Developer edition XPS - supports Rust

Intel releases Ice Lake processors - supports Rust

Windows 10 Update - supports Rust
Don't expect consulting to be less demanding. If anything you will work more.
YouTube's genius was to realize that that was no longer the case. They've said in interviews that a lot of the impetus to create the product was to realize that tools like cell-phone video and iMovie meant that video would rapidly become a lot cheaper to produce, and that meant there'd be a market for video-sharing. Cell-phone video is also what took the average duration of a video down from 60min 8mm cassettes to 2-3min digital clips, which are the perfect size for a webpage view.
Contrary to what a lot of people on this thread are saying, anti-ram devices aren’t security theatre. There are many situations where you don’t want what you’re building to look like an imposing fortress, and yet still be a relatively hard target against what you’re modelling for.

White Supremacist Message Board Leak: How to Access and Interpret the Data
I’m a really big fan of this movement towards shorter workweeks.

Personally, I enjoy working hard - usually more than 40 hours per week. But we should distinguish between working for others and working for oneself. Working for oneself can be education, passion work, or anything that energizes you. Working for others is also necessary for most people but reducing the weekly commitment gives people more freedom in their lives and makes them happier and more productive.

For some, the extra time away from work gives them the freedom to spend more time with their family or children, or spend more time on their hobbies. But ultimately it makes these people better contributing members of society.

One belief I certainly don’t agree with is the idea that working less for others makes you a lazy person or a less contributing member of society. People need free time to care for themselves and others, vote and participate in democracy, and do their laundry. We will be better off with less time committed to working for others.

And of course I cant help but plug 30 Hour Jobs here since it’s very much relevant: https://30hourjobs.com
Did Shuttle use similar chutes, or were those simpler drag chutes for braking?
I think the marketing differentiation works best when it is driven by factors that are hard to measure and control, but that are perceived as high value, like flavour and style. When buying bottled water, the water is free, you're buying the bottle, the refrigeration, then real-estate & inventory space, and you can compare it on those dimensions, but if you are sensitive to the taste that can override the other factors. With cola it is much much stronger because the taste is more intense and your body is conditioned to link it to the sugar and caffeine hitting the bloodstream which gives you that immediate Pavlovian response. But taking something low-cost and using human psychology to assign a high value is how marketing makes profit. As opposed to the prosaic side of marketing where you're just letting people know you exist.

Privacy my ass. Allow me to setup MY phone without a ping back to the mothership, and allow us to side-load apps or download free apps from the store without an apple ID.
Imo, engineering types usually think about technical differentiation because they can potentially be good in it. Usually marketing/branding is very expensive and not very accessible for the average bright founder+engineer type.
If there was any doubt as to the veracity of the leaked video, ABC would have simply issued a denial.
>And then when something bad does come up, and 9 out of 10 of those defensive layers

And there should be a definitive priority established between those layers so that, if one fails, the other 9 don't attempt to correct in different ways. It should fail from the most conservative to the least so that a false positive results in erring towards stopping the vehicle.
I had a similar schedule studying. It works really well to focus productivity in the morning. In particular I found that It was very difficult to focus after lunch for a few hours. I stopped fighting this and embraced that it was a good time to exercise, socialize or get random stuff done that didn't involve focus.

If necessary I could work for a few more hours between 4 and 10.
The distances you cite are pretty much the only ones (well, 2.54cm = 1 in as well) that are likely to be well-known. Yards are just not a heavily-used unit, people prefer 10s or 100s of feet instead of using yards. So when you go from tens to hundreds of meters, there is going to be no intuition about what kind of distance that actually is, and you have to mental math your way to familiar units of 100s of feet or quarter/half miles.

> opens the very real risk

Exploring the risks and benefits of practices is the very point of subjecting them to scientific studies. 'Religious' Buddhists may quite understandably take their traditions and texts to have settled the issue. But that's not the case for others interested in the possibilities of psychotechnologies (old and new alike) for human development.
What part do you think is unconstitutional? I think it would be very difficult to frame an argument that property tax is unconstitutional. All 50 states collect property taxes.

The owner in the article had unpaid property taxes for over 3 years and apparently underpaid the amount due right before a deed sale because he miscalculated interest. It's hard to know exactly what happened from reading the article alone. A court judgement would state the facts of the case more clearly. If the miscalculation was the fault of the county, it seems like they were in error and the deed should be invalidated. If the county gave him a quote and he intentionally underpaid (for whatever reason he justified it with), I wouldn't expect him to have recourse under the law.

States are broadly divided into tax deed and tax lien states. Michigan is a tax deed state and I am not familiar with the particulars of their law. I live in a tax lien state (Colorado). When you don't pay your property taxes, a lien is sold at auction. If you don't pay after 3 years, the lien holder can apply for a tax deed. This process takes 6 months. The owner is attempted to be served and notices are published in the local newspaper. You need to contact the county for the payoff amount, but the interest in general on the lien accrues monthly computed on simple interest (non compounding). The rate this year is 12%, so 1% per month.

There needs to be a consequence for not paying your property taxes or few would pay them.
Sometimes I run into comments which make me realize how differently people can think about the world. It's always a bit of a shock.

It does make me feel a bit of despair at the prospect of humanity ever reaching an agreement that would make everyone satisfied. I guess having most satisfied will have to do, but regardless, it's rough.

The topic was not major cities. It's rural areas. It's very unrealistic for them to be expected to be even as dense as one in every two miles, when in many cases there might only be four houses or less in a one mile stretch.

It seems unlikely that people who are physically unable to drive would be walking that distance or using electric tricycles. I would think that what is going to be helpful for these people is grocery delivery service.

Also, children are not typically expected to be responsible for grocery shopping.

Then either learn to drive, find a way to get a car, use public transportation, walk/cross only in appropriate place etc.

Car driver pay for the tax as well.

>The idea is that the cities don't belong to people with cars

Then that need to be changed. The benefit for pedestrians should not come at the expense of vehicle.

I get that Electron is accepted as a way to do multi-OS apps. However, whenever possible, I find there are better OS specific apps. As I use Linux and Mac, I find the best app for each.

For example, on my work mac I use Ulysses, and sync to a cloud folder. Then on Linux, I use caret or typora with the same synced folder. Caret/typora aren't as nice as Ulysses (IMO), but as they all support markdown, all three are fully compatible. I'd rather not use an inferior app only because it's cross platform. Since the content is transferable between apps, and is synced outside the app, this seems like a pretty good compromise.

If I could buy a high quality markdown editor on Linux that rivaled Ulysses I would.
Fine --- a slow missile.
The Promise of Mr. Trash Wheel
That's basically what the article says though. The connection to HTTP2 is that they both try and minimize the amount of requests made to a server. The author is just pointing out that GraphQL has more to offer than reduced requests.
Any word how this will be supported on Linux? The article states:

"In keeping with Yubico’s design philosophy, the YubiKey Bio will not require any batteries, drivers, or associated software."
It can be both that poster over estimates just how many people have the luxury of choosing who to contract for based on what tools they have to work with.

In fact it seems to me very petty and unprofessional attitude in the first place.

And it would also prevent them from working for any company in a regulated sector or any company that cares about security and information governance not to mention about productivity; I’ve seen plenty of contractors like this being kicked out after the 3 time they missed a meeting because hipstermail or stallmanmail couldn’t parse the WebEx links in the meeting invite, they couldn’t open a Visio diagram or worse we found they were trying to push code into private repos or using some online code beautification services...

Unless you are working on tiny projects as a contractor you are going to be obligated to use what ever tools the client uses, and in fact adherence to the “company spirit” is often more expected from contractors than internal teams that can get some leeway through internal politics.
Wow. A whole 5 years to get "FU Money" saved up. That's a blessing, and can strongly be considered "just getting it". Short of an inheritance, or winning the lottery, normally salaried or hourly workers will never have "FU money"; let alone in 5 short years.
Alcohol and psychedelics have been around for a long time. Religious practice over the millennia has incorporated experience (not as good as careful study but better than nothing) of their use.

Antidepressants are too new to get a good answer out of religion.
They also addressed the earlier flaw that all the path history was lost every time the object classification changed:

>Path Prediction. ATG changed the way the ADS generates possible trajectories—predicts the path—of detected objects (as described in section 1.6.1). Previous locations of a tracked object are incorporated into decision process when generating possible trajectories, even when object’s classification changes. Trajectories are generated based on both (1) the classification of the object–possible goals associated with such object, and (2) the all previous locations.

edit: This was also improved, clearly it was not ready when it rolled-out before these changes:

>Volvo provided ATG with an access to its ADAS to allow seamless automatic deactivation when engaging the ADS. According to ATG and Volvo, simultaneous operation of Volvo ADAS and ATG ADS was viewed as incompatible because (1) of high likelihood of misinterpretation of signals between Volvo and ATG radars due to the use of same frequencies; (2) the vehicle’s brake module had not been designed to assign priority if it were to receive braking commands from both the Volvo AEB and ATG ADS.

... changes

>Volvo ADAS. Several Volvo ADAS remain active during the operation of the ADS; specifically, the FCW and the AEB with pedestrian-detection capabilities are engaged during both manual driving and testing with the UBER ATG autonomous mode. ATG changed the frequency at which ATG-installed radars supporting the ADS operate; at the new frequency, these radars do not interfere with the functioning of Volvo ADAS. ATG also worked with Volvo to assign prioritization for the ADS and Volvo AEB in situations when both systems issue command for braking. The decision of which system is assigned priority is dependent on the specific circumstance at that time.Volvo ADAS.

History says otherwise, unless you mean people should be free to abuse of others lack of judgement when their survival is on the line. That's why they started to cap working hours and protecting children from being part of the workforce. Also, you don't have to go that far into history. Some uber drivers I've talked to want to get out of that business but can't because they were bamboozled into signing a car loan they can't pay without working for Uber and they mention that when they signed it they had an expectation of earnings that has been steadily going down.

No comment on your assumption that I'm a developer unless you meant it as a standalone fact.
> What does Belgium owe in terms of equipping it’s former colony to help themselves?

Payback for the mass forced labor of Congolese to extract rubber? I don't even live in Belgium or the Congo and we learned about atrocities committed under Leopold II in school[0]. In particular Belgian colonial authorities would cut off the hands of those who failed to meet their rubber quota.

> would the Congolese have had electron microscopes but for Belgian colonialism?

If their economic structure wasn't devastated by mass forced labor then yes, they might have been able to afford one. Colonialism presents no benefit to the colonized, under the British Raj "India's share of the world economy declined from 24.4% in 1700 down to 4.2% in 1950"[1]. The United States (since you mention it in your second paragraph implicitly as an example of an advanced nation) itself was founded to oppose the economic crippling that colonial rule necessitates.

I think that's only one aspect of the current arrangement. At one of the extremes is the rise of the cancel culture. A subset of people have learned that if they complain loud enough, even in small numbers, corporations will bow to almost any demand. These corporations seem completely devoid of any kind of rational arbiter for such decisions and are purely reactionary.
There's of course not only the question if fusion works, but also how expensive it will be.

A not unlikely outcome would be that at some point humanity is able to build fusion plants, but almost nobody will do, because they're just too expensive. Given the extremely declining price of wind and solar which shows no sign of stopping this seems rather plausible.

Why would I tie up funds in a mortgage where I can make more in the market with those funds? Just have to make sure I actually put my funds into the market, heh...
I believe the answer lies somewhere in the middle. Economic output is not entirely static, but it is not completely accurate to say a creative hard-working person who comes along and amasses a lot of wealth has created all of that wealth either.

This should not be a controversial statement. Imagine a simple scenario where Walmart alone, represents the economy and they sell 100 units per year. Then Amazon comes along and starts competing and after a while Walmart is only selling 50 units a year and Amazon is selling 60 units per year. You could now argue that 10 units/year of wealth have been created.

Maybe I am misunderstanding you but it seems you are arguing that 60 units/year of wealth were created in this scenario?

Of course this is only a simple scenario where all the variables are fixed, in the real world there are thousands variables (or more) interacting with each other. Which is why IMO, it's overly simplistic to say that one person's prosperity is zero-sum but also equally simplistic to say that wealth is created independently of the rest of the economy.
Cancel order after about 4-5 days from experience. Had it on several books!
The simple fact is this: My company is not getting 8 hours of me a day. They just aren't. I'm not thinking about my job all day, I'm not working all day. About 3-4 hours of my day is spent dicking around online, eating lunch, having silly conversations on slack or texting my girlfriend.

I would bet that this is the norm, not just in my job, but most jobs where it's not very simple to tell if someone's "working" or not (essentially all non-labor jobs).

So they can either roll with it and just give me that time free, or I can sit there and pretend to be working with just as much effect, only I'm less happy because I have to sit in a chair for 3-4 hours a day just to warm it.

I don't have the mental capacity or the patience or the energy to sit and think through difficult problems all day. I don't have any of that for meetings, for decision making, for groom sessions or anything else that requires that much extra attention. It's exhausting and pointless, as, even if I'm there, I'm at a diminished capacity for productivity.

So, just agree that you're not going to get me to work those extra hours, give me that time back, take it yourself, and let's all just be happy and die someday.
