Following your argument I should be able to write any random words to a file and expect the Python interpreter to run it as the program I intended?

Don't see it as a forced rule to restrict people, I can't really see how 1 million lines is a restriction on hand writen code anyways and generators can work around the problem, but more as a contract that sets the boundary on what people can expect. Python interpreter developers know they don't have to expect arbitrary large programs and can optimize their code for everything below 1 million and Python scripts/app developers know within what limits they can expect their code to work.
First, personally my philosophy is to have any smart home type stuff have a dumb backup. You never know what might happen to your smart hub or whatever so having physical switched lights/ appliances is important.

Second, hopefully this doesn't come across as patronizing but based on your post it sounds like you aren't sure about this. IP is not "The Internet". You can have your own little private IP network which runs without the internet. If this is an open standard there should at least be the option to create a local only hub which only requires your local network is online.

That's not guaranteed considering who is backing this project, but it should be possible.

andreilys says>"...The cream always rises to the top..."

That may be true for workers, but I heard the management version: "Shit always floats to the top..."
seriously. How the fuck are people's moral compass so off? I understand reality is reality, but there are some things that should not be, and for slightly cheaper electronics of all things?

fuck that.
I don't disagree, but if we want to actually help, we need to work with the world the way it is, not the way we wish it was. Moral grandstanding helps us feel good more than it helps the people who are actually suffering.

There will always be uncertainty about the supply chain. That's the nature of the mineral trade AFAIK.

The thing is that the prime numbers have to go through all of the filters. Although the prime numbers are a minority among the numbers they are not a very small minority. In fact, a random number N has about a probability of 1/log(N) to be prime. So that could reduce N^2 to maybe N^2/log(N) but not any further. So I suppose the complexity actually is somewhere between N^2 and N^2/log(N), but that is not much less than N^2. The trick of only checking primes smaller than sqrt(N) reduces the complexity to N^1.5, also maybe involving some division by log(N), but that is actually an improvement in the exponent.

Agreed - I'd say most of the world will be in deeper trouble than the Netherlands since they've been completely ignoring these issues. Most of the coast of Florida comes to mind. The number of homes on small canals that connect directly to the ocean is mind-boggling.

Further, in a worst case scenario where you need to lose a lot of arable land, the Netherlands has zoned itself so that you could "afford" to lose that land while protecting denser cities. At a certain point I see the Dutch putting soil on barges topped by greenhouses and growing on top of the water if it came to that haha.

Of course all of this might mean a significant shift in how the country feeds itself, but the layout is such that you could shift a small minority to denser "protected" places (where more investment might be focused in a worst case scenario) if significant flooding were a problem.

PIA Android client seems to be developed from a fork of OpenVPN Client for Android (ics-openvpn) [1] which is gpl-licensed. The About screen contains a link to the source code hosted on an S3 bucket [2] but it doesn't seem to be publicly accessible.

Interestingly, despite being gpl-licensed, ics-openvpn seem to be commonly forked by commercial vpn companies to develop their own closed-sourced Android vpn client. The author is aware of this and post a faq [3] out of frustration.

I can only speak frlm my experience. I have built multiple communities and they all started the same.
They all went something like this:

1) Somehow I met someone who is also passionate about the domain (online, friend recommendation kr meetup)

2) Create a meetup for the subject and have me and the other the speakers while finding a sponsor or two (not as hard as you think)

3) The meetup grows to a monthly meetup and a social media group gets created.

4) Sometimes a website is needed for mailing lists, blog posts and announcments.

Some don't last very long as they are based off a trend (Blockchain for example) and some have survived until today.

Good luck!

I like JS. I use JS daily. JS is part of the workflow for nearly everyone I know who works with code. For me, ES6 is fantastic to use. Some of the better books on JS [I'm thinking specifically of Haverbeke's "Eloquent Javascript"] are general computing classics in their own right.

I used to be a snob about JS, due to the fact that in the 90s / early 2000s, it had major shortcomings and produced a lot of slow, crashy web pages. But when I learned modern JS, I realized that it is now a fully mature language equal to any other, and easily used in a huge variety of contexts [thanks in no small part to Node]
>reasonably related to skills/knowledge gained or applicable during employment with the company

Let's imagine that you didn't know how to read and write before being employed at that company. If you learn how to read and write during your employment then the company owns rights to anything you write? And they own the rights to anything you make that requires reading too.

This clause essentially tells the employee to go out of their way not to learn anything new while employed at the company. Does the company, by chance, offer training in very broad skills to employees "free of charge"?

The 'someone will do it anyway' defense is not morally legitimate. Just because everyone else is doing it, does not make the action ok.

I agree. When a child is harmed to make a product, everyone involved in creating that incentive should be held responsible. Doing so will strongly change society to stop such harms of children.
Not lexically, no, but dynamically, sure, all the time. JS lets me receive an arbitrary value in a variable `foo`, and "add" it to another arbitrary value in a variable `bar`, without having any opportunity to specify what semantics I mean by "add." Fixing the semantics of the operation is the whole point of specifying it!

Personally, I favor languages that go "almost too far" in the opposite direction, e.g. Elixir. In Elixir, operator[] (a.k.a. the Access protocol) is generic across several types, but the semantics are very strictly constrained; not only does the access have to "mean" getting some kind of element from a container, but it's also only defined where it has a fixed O(1) time-complexity.

This sort of design being conventional in Elixir, means that you can usually predict, just from the lexical environment (a.k.a. "the code on the screen") what the runtime behavior will be of said code—which includes being able to "read off" a time/space complexity for the code—without needing to check how each ADT involved has implemented its generics, let alone having to check for implicit type coercions.

Bronx Girl Seen Kidnapped in Video, and in Amber Alert, Admits It Was a Hoax
I would highly recommend How Music Works by John Powell. I've been playing piano since I was a kid, but, being technical, having music explained in scientific terms was the one thing that really upped my game. Everything before this book always seemed like religious teaching and I could never really find a place for the knowledge to hang on to in my mind.

There's also a book with the same name by David Byrne, but I can't comment on that one.

This feels weird to me.

If you have advertised a job and I've given you my resume, it is to give you some information you can use to avoid wasting your time and my time.

Just like I would hope your advertisement is accurate and useful enough to let me decide if it is a good use of time for me to send you a resume (e.g., saw an ad for "react developer" -- got to the interview and they were looking for a "server side java dev" -- I mean -- wtf?).

Not reading a resume before an interview feels... rude. It feels like the path that leads to you asking a Java/Go programmer to do a Javascript coding challenge in 50 minutes, which is a waste of everyone's time.
Well, it also talks about using Thread, which I just learned has the same "must be a member of blahblahblah" restrictions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_(network_protocol)).
You're focusing too much on the home assistant part, and not enough on the local control part. There are solutions with hubs such as some parts of the Wink hub that do work locally without internet. I'm sure there are professional-grade installers who install various pieces of software that use Z-Wave and/or Zigbee to setup a locally controlled home automation solution.

Needing connected to the internet (and all the latency associated with it) is an anti-feature that most consumers aren't even aware of or think of, hence why I hope solutions that have the feature aren't crowded out before the market for home automation truly takes off
I’ve had those “well, your project is fucked” meetings. The ones where all the leads are architecture astronauts inventing requirements as they go. “We have to have the ability to pass the original authentication the entire way down the stack including the rabbitmq instance too.

Okay....

... astronaut proceeds to fill two whiteboards with ungrounded nonsense.

All you can go is smirk and just wait until the whole project gets mysteriously canceled because no mortal could ever implement it successfully.

Honestly as long as I don’t need to directly depend on them, these are some of my more favorite meetings. So surreal. That and when the team infights the entire time.
I think "mouse is better" was a conclusion in search of evidence. It was Apple in the 80s -- Steve Jobs was a huge believer in mouse-based UIs, but most users and developers outside Cupertino were not. Thry had to be convinced that mousing is universally better than keyboarding.

That is a truly bleak view of what is to come. I am not sure I want to be part of this.

Even zero and one dimensional ultra simplified energy balance models come pretty close to approximating how much warming we've had based on the amount of co2 we've released.

Global average temperatures are governed simply by the need for incoming energy to be balanced by outgoing energy.

You're confusing the complexity of weather with the complexity of climate. A lot of the value of increasingly large scale, complex, supercomputer based climate models is the spacial resolution to be able to tell people of particular regions how their local climate might be affected. For instance a lot of work is going into understanding how the monsoon season will be affected.
We're cheating a bit here because we live in California ... so we don't need AC mechanicals (which is a big win for simplicity) and when we leave the house we simply turn off the heat.

If we lived in Duluth we could probably do the same thing for day-long absences, provided the house was very properly insulated, but you are correct - we would need a timer/schedule on the thermostats for any longer absences.
The problem with colonialism is exploitation of the people, not the setting up of a just government. I'm in favor of Western countries coming in and setting up a just government, even if there is a profit motive involved. It at least is much better than a constant war torn and corrupt environment.

I feel the same when I think about how bleak this all is, but this could be one part of a multipart solution. No, it's not going to magically fix everything wrong with the global economy. But we have to think about things like corporate responsibility and legal consequences for companies that use this material. I suppose I bear some responsibility for not fully researching the mineral sources of each piece of electronics I buy, but the simple act of meeting consumer demand is not morally neutral. Putting legal pressure on companies to not use material mined by children could be helpful (with the usual caveat wrt the devil & details.)
> The war on drugs was created by the Nixon regime as a way to neutralize threatening political movements like Black Power and the Hippie Peace movement.

This seems like one of those Illuminati/Knights Templar conspiracy theories. I don't buy it. I'm imagining Nixon's cabinet in a super secret meeting:

Nixon: "Those hippies and negroes. They are growing too powerful. Soon, democrats will dominate every level of government"

Secretary of State: "But what can we do?"

Nixon: smirks and peers over reading glasses directly at the camera

Nixon: "We hit them where it hurts. Tell me, what does the hippy and the negro have in common?"

Secretary of Agriculture: "High rates of homelessness?"

Nixon: "No, the Reefer. We can't outright declare war on US citizens. But we can attack the thing they hold most dear and get the religious right to love us for it."

Secretary of Defense: "Mother of God... a war... on drugs"

Nixon: "Precisely. The hippy and negro cannot resist the draw of the Reefer. Thus, we simply declare war on the Reefer. We can lock them up in prisons where they will harmlessly live out their days, unable to empower the democratic party."
The argument still stands.

"Honey, can you take a look at why this script isn't compiling the shopping list correctly?"

>So anyone who think this is some evidence of Google being, or becoming, evil is either seriously misinformed, or just engaging in unthinking hate of Google, or both.

Torguard is another great option. Also OpenVPN and WireGuard (along with PPTP), they're half the price and in my testing they were slightly (~10%) faster than Mullvad.

There are lots of complicated answers here. All you need is to be able to build scales and chords using the circle of 5ths. Just learn how to write out the notes for a scale like E major. Then learn how to write out the notes for all of the chords in that key. If you do this and learn how to build scales and chords everything will start to make sense. I have a music degree. This is the key. This page is a good start. https://www.tempomusicards.com/lessons/chord-formulas-and-th...

I would also add that to really use theory you have to know the notes on your instrument. You can know them as audible intervals, letters and written musical notes. Tab is worthless. I learned to read music for school and it transformed my knowledge of the instrument.

Best Book of 1982: The Years of Lyndon Johnson
"Do you grant creationists good faith? How about anti-vaxers? Flat earthers?"

Yes. All of them.

I've never had to do so with a flat-earther simply because I've never met one.

But the others? Sure, I treat them like human beings.

Marginalizing people for their beliefs will not change their minds but it WILL fracture society. I think some people will side with the "opposing view" simply because they are indignant when they see how the sanctimonious mob treats them.
