The calculation of the square root, relies on this result from squaring a number N = 10d + e (that is, single digits d and e, but d is in the 10s place):

NN = (10d + e)(10d + e) = 100dd + 20de + ee

Group the digits of the square by two, and add extra values to the "divisor" so that the extraction of the square root in effect undoes the squaring above.

> Becoming an uploader on a torrent site

What do you mean by that? You can upload your torrents to any of the big public torrent sites and if it's a private site just being a member allows you to upload already. Public trackers are also all using DHT which makes this not centralized.
The person responsible desperately needs to be happy, but is far more invested in their own supremacy to actually enjoy human contact.
My own thoughts exactly. Not being right-wing, but that this idea is something everyone agrees on and think is a great idea and why don't we just do it. Which sounds great, until managers find out they're liable and run some risks they don't necessarily agree with or understand enough. So it becomes mandated to "bring your own self to work", as long as it raises productivity metrics only and liability is siloed in the individual or other departments.

Where the culture is great already, this would only be natural and already in-grained, not merely tolerated. Other places, most places, just another tool for higher-stake power-games.
As others have noted, but somewhat obliquely: Basketball players almost always know for certain whether or not they were the last person to touch the ball before it went out of bounds, they just pretend like it wasn't them to try to fool the ref into giving their team possession. Strangely enough, this is generally regarded as harmless "gamesmanship" even though it's essentially cheating, or at a minimum unsportsmanlike.
Maybe we ought to meet people where they are. What if math class was a series of practical problems that the students had to figure out together and make proofs for and the teacher has the classes compete with one another for progress through the lessons? You could make sure no one gets left behind by having a test with a minimum threshold of passing scores. Gets those less motivated, yet competitive kids behind it, even if they couldn’t give a hoot about math. Plus it’ll make nerds heroes!

It's a challenge with any demo, because examples in software are always by definition contrived, or too specific to be relatable. There's always going to be some user base that can relate your example better to their challenges than others.
Lots of comments here come off as very resistant to accepting the ideas presented here: that success at work is as much about the quality of your work as the effort made to connect with the humans in an organization evaluating the work. Improv is a perfect frame for this: entertaining but doing deep preparation for that entertainment.

What I'm really fascinated by is how this can be translated to remote working. I don't think water-cooler talk is possible in Slack. I would be really surprised to find anyone at the top of performance in any organization that isn't fully remote without resorting to Machiavellian tactics. I wonder if the stresses you saw at GitHub during their period of centralizing management in SF after really marketing themselves as remote first were evidence of this.
True; part of the problem is that everyone is different.

Makes me wonder if there is some probability of error vs information density, irrespective of media. I assume eventually you’ll hit some quantum limit where so much of the data, is error correction that it’s not worthwhile. Maybe instead of going denser, it just needs to go larger.
I do not think there is any value in disparaging philosophy, but in responding to such attitudes in the current context, it would be more useful to discuss what the branch known as philosophy of mind is achieving now, rather than the significance of philosophy in the foundation of science.
While writing embedded code I realized a major problem with code relative to the rest of the product. You can't see it, can't touch it, and it doesnt appear on the bill of material. To most people it doesnt even exist. This would be somewhat different if your product IS software, but the same still applies to the actual code - the author is the only one who will ever see what they wrote.
If you’d be willing to open github issues for home assistant with your problems I guarantee you the dev team would want to know about and fix them. I’ve met Paulus in real life and he deeply cares about the community.
So if I fix a typo and commit the fix in my feature branch within a few hours, it's ok to squash the fix, but if someone notices it on code review the next day, I should keep the typo fix as a separate commit?

What's the value of having this in your audit log? Is it more valuable than being able to revert the commits without having to first revert the typo fix, or do a git bisect without running into broken commits that exist only to preserve an audit log?
The machines had a voter-verified paper audit trail (VVPAT) which represents best practice, but the failures still undermined voter's confidence in the correctness of the outcome. Note that there has been no post-mortem explaining what went wrong.

That said, they were definitely on the wrong track with SDKs that wildly changed every 6 months and were almost impossible to keep up with!

The best thing is to join a team of professional engineers that have or plan to introduce CI/CD, code reviews, versioning, and other modern practices. It can be a job or an open source project.
You need to see how to do such practices in real projects, experience the whole process, learn and get feedback from experienced people.

You can learn something on your own from books, articles, adopt and follow them on your pet projects, but comparing to working in a team this will be less efficient.
Yes, once some workers start using social tools to advantage themselves and their work, it does become mandatory to use them too. The incentive is then to escalate and invest more in social machinations.

And be endlessly positive about everyone and their ideas so that only positive feelings are associated with you. Choose your favorites by directing attention and investment. Ignore the unkept promises or implications since they will be to the less popular people and projects which are inherently less powerful.

May all bullets be directed to backs and all knifes sheathed likewise.

There is some importance to keeping a pleasant and encouraging workplace but some of us value honesty and straightforwardness as well as the efficiencies that go with these practices. These require real work however.
I wish I could explain this to people, as a major reason for being homeless in SF. I have many right-wing views and am as authentic as possible, which leads to severe ostracization in most environments. Kicked out of all friend groups post-Trump. I get along with the police, actually thought it’d be funny to apply to a PD last night. Obviously saying that I am ostracized for having right wing views and attitudes is triggering to 90% of people here. I stay because I am non-soy vegan/jain, and also attend a lot of meetups and lay low. I do get kicked out and picked on for frivolous reasons/litmus tested. I am a non-Churchian Christian, really at a loss for where to find leads into a coding job. Before Trump my career was great, now I am lucky to work 8 hours a week of odd jobs. We really need to work on accepting authenticity.
i don't think i'm complaining (def: 'express dissatisfaction'), more just reminding them to be empathetic to the global state of affairs. -- I don't think puttering through Home Depot, in your nice patagonia jacket, looking for a new leaf blower to clean your gigantic yard of your 3000sq meter house , checking the tags and moaning they are all made in china, meanwhile some poor guy living in a 3sq meter apartment slaving away in a unsafe toxic fume filled factory, is akin to losing a child vs someone else losing 2. -- yes, I will tell them to 'stfu' and stop complaining.

I almost got to use OS/2 for a commercial project.. we had fetch information from a PC desktop and feed it to an IBM mainframe while servicing up to two simultaneous users.

OS/2 1.1 EE had EHLLAPI support but was still a few months from release and I couldn't wait for it. I was really disappointed I didn't get to explore it fully because first look was really impressive.

I ended up using DOS + DESQview, and it worked out fine.
Now you’re talking about something different. The proof of the division algorithm is built up from a bunch of other machinery. It relies on the fact that the ring of integers is a Euclidean domain.

Take a course in ring theory if you want to see how all of this machinery gets built up.
Interesting, why a PHP wrapper to the graph-easy CLI rather than a perl cgi/fcgi/… to the graph-easy library?

edit: sending the graph info via GET is a bit risky though, browsers and servers tend to limit URL size so you might get truncation on the bigger graphs (IIRC IE is the biggest issue with ~1k URLs, not sure if pre-chrome Edge is better or the same, then it's mostly webservers which generally have an 8k default limit on the request-line).
Some suggestions:

– having a "how to" page and actual focus page, would allow removing distraction of instruction texts

– although it's tricky to disable notifications on the browser and the OS, it'd be a nice feature

– for too granular a session length dropdown, one could use a text field with suggested time.

– adding basic calculations (e.g. 2+8) for which the user should enter the results, is also an option

– better typography: e.g. numbers appearing are too small

– check out https://www.psytoolkit.org/ for ideas and inspirations.

Edit: format, typo.

You inherit all the weirdness from UNIX domain sockets, such as having the semantics of SOCK_STREAM, SOCK_DGRAM or SOCK_SEQPACKET (or finding out that your OS of choice doesn't support the one you wanted) depending on which one you picked.

Abstract sockets have no permissions. Not having to deal with the filesystem at all is nice, but having absolutely no security model whatsoever also seems dangerous.

You have the ugly issue of having to deal with handling zeroes in your name, as noted in the article. This can and will break something, somewhere on the first attempt of writing it.

When you want microkernel IPC, you usually tend to want a message-oriented reply-and-receive primitive to main loop around them. Emulating this with sockets is error-prone since send(2) and recv(2) make extremely weak promises about their behavior on error. sendmsg(2) and recvmsg(2), which are necessary to pass kernel objects around (i.e. file descriptors), are very difficult to use.

Sockets are nice because you can select(2) etc. on them, however. I'd expect a replacement would interoperate smoothly with at least those system calls.
I know that your points are standard masculinist talking points and I most probably won’t change your perspective.

As I understand it, you seem to point the blame for men relatively shorter lifespan (which in fact have consistently grow over the last decades in OCDE countries, except in the US) toward “more attention to women’s issues”.

Of course every single bit of attention to women’s issues have been a very long hard fight (for example thousands of women were dying each year of illegal abortion, for decades and centuries… that was not an easy fight to get this fixed, because men in charge couldn’t care less.)

But, hey, here’s are four points —in addition to the statistics others have pointed out— that paint a different picture than the “men have been abandoned” framing:

- Young men takes more risks and die more frequently of violent death (road accident for example, or alcool related accident in general). That’s a social posture that feminism is actively trying to change but strangely this is cherished by many men, who think changing the male culture is somehow bad for them. If we want young men to die less, let’s raise them as girls (I’m 100% serious). If you actively refuse to raise boys with girly values like care and empathy and being reasonable, then you are actively encouraging young men to risk their life in various stupid ways.

- Women health have been second to men health in many domains since a very long time. One reason has been under diagnosis (ex: cardiac issues used to be under diagnosed for women, might still be the case). Women are under diagnosed because doctors tend to think they are exaggerating their symptoms. This have been document by medical studies, for example in Canada, where they had relatively to the number of cases more death of cardiac complications for women than for men.

- You are right that more boys drop out of school. Again, several gender issues researchers have pointed that trend back in the 80s or 90s. I believe feminists were the first to alert on that trend (in any case, I first read about it in feminist publications).
Yet, incredibly, men overall have a bigger share of total wages and occupy the top management seat and most of gouvernement seats in OCDE. Go figure! Maybe men are favorited after all?

- Back to medical research. Did you know that female subjects have been traditionally excluded from medical research when creating test group? It is called the medical gender gap, and has been documented and, of course, people have been trying actively to reverse it since the 90s because it is harmful for women.

Sorry if these 4 points might seem disjointed. But if you want to learn more, they might be a start for you. Dig and read feminist research.

> Anecdotally most of the time when a ball goes out of bounds both parties have a good sense of last touch and it's often validated by the third parties

In friendly pickup games it's extremely rare to see any confusion about who touched it last.

As competition heats up it's more common (but still rare) and almost exclusively limited to those who are playing most aggressively / competitively.

I'd put money on this phenomenon bring related to the desire to win. We see this in politics, arguments and other sports calls (that don't involve touch, like if a ball touched a line) as well where the desire to win seems to create a conscious or subconscious blind spot that allows us to be extremely confident in things that would benefit us regardless of the information provided to us.

And again I wouldn't be surprised if this phenomenon increases or decreases based on how badly we want to win.
Yes, that makes more sense. I just used whatever I was more familiar with to get stuff running

Talk to your employer and ask for leave - even if you choose not to go back, it is a safety net. If there are 50+ employees, they must grant you leave under FMLA laws. If not, they should grant it out of human decency. If you also want to look for another job, go right ahead. Taking leave does not obligate you to return, and I have seen a few people take leave and then just not come back, in various organizations.

As far as notification if something goes badly (hopefully it won't be a concern), just make a list of who should be notified and give it to whomever is closest to you. My wife and I have that anyway... our "In case I get hit by a bus" documents.

I have taken time off for surgery before, and based on my experience, I have one more bit of advice - forget about work for a while. Just worry about your own recovery. Stressing over a job isn't how you should be spending your energy during a time like this. You'll know when it is time to start thinking about it again - there comes a point during recovery from major surgery where you are tired of recovery and want to start doing something again. That is the time to start thinking about work, not before.
Because they will raise the prices enough that legitimate orgs don't want to pay it, so they'll be available.
> it doesnt appear on the bill of material

I've actually seen a few customers listing it as such (based on some sales estimate), but it doesn't seem common. Which is a bit weird, especially in cases where you can trade software cost for hardware cost.
So a highly skilled person who finds their job easy should be paid less than a low skilled person who struggles to do basic tasks? I don't think that would turn out well.

It would be suitable for students between grades 4 and 6 (the highest level we currently teach), depending on how talented the kid is.

> But does the drone program amount to a war crime as Marc Thiessen suggests? That is a complicated question to answer. Unlike the use of torture, there are circumstances in international law and under the laws of war in which the use of lethal force can be lawful. Much depends on where, how and with what intent such force is used. We do not, as yet, have sufficient evidence to make a determination regarding the legality of the US drones program. It has been conducted in secret and in places where it is very difficult to mount an effective investigation.

Also there was a 1,200+ page Senate investigation into the use of torture by the previous administration.
Well, if this is a disagreement over the word "monopoly" I'll just cite wikipedia:

Patents, copyrights, and trademarks are sometimes used as examples of government-granted monopolies.

Third paragraph from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly

So, yes, HBO does have a monopoly on Game of Thrones, and my email provider does have a monopoly on my email address.

This is, for example, why they explicitly passed a phone number portability law, because phone companies were abusing their monopoly power over individual phone numbers, to keep people from switching to different providers.
I recently created ad campaigns on Twitter/Facebook and Google for our startup. The dark patterns like this were shocking. They really taste of short term metric driven growth that doesn't consider "now I'm paying for clicks that will never convert, I'm going to churn as an account totally".

For example, Adwords defaults into advertising on every device which now includes TVs. This channel would never work for our business (an app that integrates with GitHub), and I'm sure this would work badly for many other businesses. We only found it by digging into the campaign stats once it had launched.

It also strikes me how long the approval takes for new ads - 48 hours. How many advertisers drop off in that time? That feels like a real value add thing to focus on.
It isn't a federal mandate, which can be seen because not all states adopted Common Core. There were federal incentives for states adopting a standard which has been recognized as effective, including Common Core.
