While the intent is noble, this seems very 1984-adjacent.
I wouldn't call Google a one-trick pony. They've created a bunch of wildly successful products -- Search, Maps, Android, Chrome -- that help feed their ad business.

What should be scary if you're at the top of the company is that Google has not had a home-run product in a very long time. It's a strong signal that wherever made Google special in the past is gone (though that doesn't mean it couldn't come back).
My wife and some female co-workers have said something similar. They said that when they see men get in disagreements, it normally escalates very quickly, but once the conflict is resolved it's like it never happened. They said the opposite happens with female employees, where the "conflict" never gets as intense, but it can go on for years with both sides not wanting to help each other.

Perfect. Thanks Google, now I know where to setup my muggings! Theives have google maps too, how will this not become an arms race?

My complaint with inheritance is not that perpetuates income inequality (though it may do that). I don't care about income inequality in the abstract, it bothers me not a whit that multi-billionaires prosper while the poorest in the US live merely pretty OK lives.

The Granule Programming Language
You could try setting up a WireGuard server that listens on udp port 53, which is typically used by DNS and unlikely to be blocked. I haven't used it, but algo recently added a configuration option to do so[1]. Of course WireGuard traffic will look much different than DNS, so they could still block it if they really care to.

Only part of this is true. Rent is a percentage of a budget. If you're playing with bigger numbers, the absolute dollar amount is still much higher after the rent percentage is taken out.

When I bring home 20k a month and only 7.5k goes to rent, I still have 12.5k remaining, which is more than most of the country's entire take home pay.

When I travel the world, everywhere else feels so inexpensive.
Out of curiosity - which Firefox browser extensions? I typically have SN open on my work PC in a Firefox pinned tab, and at home in a pin tabbed, and then on and off on mobile. I've never lost any data, but sometimes I'll have to refresh the tab for the right hand pane to load when just opening Firefox.

I'm subscribed to/r/RedditAlternatives for precisely this reason. Most of the alternatives are worse, either in design/functionality, user base, or both, but I hold out hope that something interesting will cross that subreddit.

I unblocked old Reddit from my ad blocker and would have paid a reasonable monthly subscription to eliminate ads entirely (hated Reddit gold solution though...). Their new site is full of trackers so they're back on the naughty block list.

The site isn't hard to make, but it is hard to get the users. If I could pay ~$5/month or something to get old Reddit without ads and with a completely open source stack, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
Sure. And then when something unexpected happens, you have two problems.
It's not that unambiguous. Compare "You must not do X" and "You need not do X". The sentences have the same form, and they are both common and idiomatic, but in the second sentence, the "not" modifies "need".
Off the top of my head, just listing a handful of various projects; a commercial static analyser, various GUIs, a broadcast industry projectile tracking and information presenting system, a multiple networked radar (and similar) network data fusion project, broadcast automation software, various data processing and display software sets, software simulating mechanical movement for artificial test data generation, image processing and morphing. I could go on, but hopefully that gives a flavour. A whole big bag of things.

I don't think the post you're replying to is demeaning life choices. The grandparent is advocating for cheating and calling it ethical. The comment you're replying to is correctly stating that it's unethical to have an open relationship when your partner doesn't know it's open. Key quote from the grandparent:

> partner upon discovering they are a practicing non-monogamist

You don't "discover you're a practicing non-monogamist", that's just a euphemism for finding out you're being cheated on. You either agree to non-monogamy or you don't but the only ethical time to give someone that choice is before you've started practicing it behind their back.

> I find demeaning others life choices publicly online to be anti-ethical, but what do I know. Please be nice.

It's actually the grandparent that keeps demeaning people's life choices by calling monogamy "boring", "vanilla" and "on the wrong side of history".

Practices that help shy nerds contribute are very important in any tech company and those same practices (being nice, not yelling in meetings, asking everyone's opinion, and so on) are indistinguishable from the things that we're told to do to make women feel welcome. Obviously there are women out there that can shout down the best of them, but due to the relative prevalence of that personality style in each gender, shouting has gotten attached in the public consciousness to men, and being shy to women. That's why being nice in the workplace is considered a gender issue, even though there's nothing inherently gendered about it.

How to Welcome Women to Computer Science
Hi, I gave it a spin for a town near me, Westbrook Maine 04092.

Precipitation
It's snowing the same amount as yesterday.
Today 0
Yesterday 0.0004

It didn't snow yesterday, and it won't be snowing today, so this is not really helpful.

Forecasted Precip
There's a 1567% better chance of snow than yesterday.
Today 100%
Yesterday 6%

There is no snow forecast and it's actually going to rain heavily today, but there's no mention of that.

I tried it for Boston MA too (02134). Is there an assumption that because it's winter time that all precipitation will be snow? Thanks to warming, even here in the north east we get a lot of rain in the winter.

Cloud Cover
It's 9900% more cloudy than yesterday.
Today 100%
Yesterday 1%

Looks like your percentage calculation is off by 100 in a couple of these.

While it's kind of a neat idea overall, it's not practical for me personally. What are the cases where stating the weather like this is useful?
Training Ideas

This is a very negative view.

Once you get used to this method of packaging it’s actually really empowering for the end user. You can download the source for anything in the system, modify it, recompile, and install it all with a standard set of commands (no one-off custom build steps for every package).

I feel it’s the closest thing to the spirit of “free software” we have today: software designed to empower the end user to read, understand, and modify their system without a huge amount of obfuscation.

It increases the burden on the packagers to reduce the burden on the users. I would be interested to see how often these features actually get used though. I wish distributions would put this front and center.

A perfect example of what I am talking about. What is the final conclusion of that paper written in 2009!:

> Are the neuroendocrine effects of these experiences across the lifespan also mediated by DNA methylation? The answer to this question is not yet known.

So what happened in the following ten (!) years, have we finally figured out whether the effect is mediated by DNA methylation? Nah. Instead, they published another bullshit paper, this time about babies being held...

Ten years is (or rather should be) an eternity in science! The 1st smartphone was barely released back then - how far have gone in technology in this time? Yet we are nowhere closer to have proven or disproven the mechanism. Instead, they would much rather maintain the status quo and publish another bullshit paper.
The Age of Moonshots
It sure looks like prey animals (so, most of them) live every day of their lives in a slasher movie. If not something worse. But maybe a constant, very real possibility of being attacked then eaten alive is actually not horrible? IDK. Best case all the "lower" animals have no consciousness whatsoever so at least they don't observe their own experience of the horror they live—but then that's creepy in its own, more cosmic-horror, right (think Watts' Blindsight).

But yes I am absolutely capable of ignoring that and going "wow aren't those flowers pretty" and do it all the time.

Yeah, I think I've lost a day in total when our local npm was finicky on several occasions or failed to fetch latest version of a package that we've developed in house, but made publicly available.
"Need not" isn't exactly common phraseology/is older phraseology, though; and a common way to phrase a similar sentence would be "You do not need to do X", and it's more clear that "not" modifies "need" in that context. Regardless, for a native speaker it should be pretty clear what both mean.
This post reminded me of an old article: https://blog.codinghorror.com/vampires-programmers-versus-we...

The big win for 'containers' is that they separate the concerns of sysadmins from developers. The days of the sysadmin administering the tomcat and apache installs are shortly coming to an end. For my part, i think this is a good thing because devs and sysadmins have different concerns that don't overlap all the time.
I use this "HuaBei". I wouldn't call it "borrowing". Actually the Ant-finance have another product called 'JieBei' which means 'just borrow'.

"HuaBei" works like the credit card, if you pay within the 1 month, you don't need to pay interest.

There are the following reasons encourage people to use this.

- 1) You get cheaper product (not a lot, but still cheap)

- 2) If you use this HuaBei and pay off on time, you'll get higher credit score which is called 'sesame credits'. With it, you can go to the hotel without paying in advance. Or you can use it as the finance statement when applying VISA.

- 3) Ant finance also have funds products. The most used one is 'YU'E bao'. It is monetary fund. The yearly interest rate for now is around 2.3%(used to 4%). You can deposit and withdraw any time. If I don't pay the product with debit but the "huabei", after 1 month I got more money.

(I feel like I should write a blog about this ;)

For me, the reason 2 is the most important one.

The surprise for me is the cities that were not part of it: NYC, Washington DC area, some tech cities in Colorado and Austin.

It just goes to show you that our intuitions about some of these things are flat out wrong.
It takes a couple seconds per reply. GPUs aren't as powerful as everyone would have it, at least not for ML; you'd be lucky to get a 10x speedup.
Clearly what we need is for documentation to embrace the subtlety that can only be expressed by a double or even triple modal auxiliary: "when the server receives a request, it'll might could reply with either a standard response or an error code... unless it entirely fails, in which case it might not would do anything; the client may oughta detect this with a timeout, but may can instead wait for the operator to intervene and explicitly cancel the operation".
I see your point. Systemically, most wealthy people will be the children of wealthy parents and their giving back will mostly propagate the inequality. That does make sense to me.
Very few people have careers. 2%. Most of us have jobs. Jobs are things you do that are unpleasant, that you would not do unless you are getting paid for it. Jobs are not the centerpiece of your life.

Many women cease to get satisfaction from their demanding careers in their 30s as they rise into the ranks into a more competitive environment. It is not worth it to many women.

Good point, but doesn't it make you wonder why there hasn't been much growth in NYC?
> a form that makes it explicit when a statement continues on the next line

I prefer to know that a line is dependent on the previous by having all the dots, pipes, etc on a new line. So I skim the first few characters of every line to see what's happening.

An argument not mentioned here is that having the operator on the new line results in cleaner diffs, as only one line changed. However, I don't care for that and am scared of trailing commas too.
I've worked with developers that have used git for 10 years who didn't fully realize what all of the 'git reset' options entailed, and I don't blame them. Git is complicated and you could certainly have a perfectly effective workflow with it for your whole career without using most of the features. If you'd only worked in environments in which code was entirely managed in GitHub, you probably wouldn't know that either. Judging someone because they don't possess the same slices of implementation-specific knowledge you do doesn't really make sense. They almost certainly know things that you don't simply because you've never encountered situations in which you had to learn about them, or for that matter, remember them even if you did.

My point (that you seem to have failed to grasp) is that people are going to use Alexa and Google and Siri and so on to ask about general medical information.

Those services will be providing this information anyway. In this scenario (which is reality as we know it), that information may as well come from the NHS with its mission to provide trusted information rather than, say, WebMD, with a mission to display ads.
>based on the anecdotal evidence that employees who smoke tend to spend more time together. We find that when male employees who smoke switch to male managers who smoke, they spend more of their breaks with their managers and are promoted faster in the following years.

One possible subtext of this is that men are much more susceptible to promoting those that befriend them than anything else.

Sure punches a hole in the old (but not necessarily correct!) cultural adage that women are predominantly the approval-seeking gender.
Not sure exactly, but a general truism is that the larger something gets, the harder growth becomes.
