There are and have been calenders with intercalendar days, how does that make anything easier? Specifically, not every week would be a full week, which in itself is an exception because now a Monday could be followed by a Sunday.
Hatetris (or whichever implementation of that idea came first) appears on this trail:

On the topic of hang man, we played some on breaks at work. Eventually I figured that I could use some tool assistance that scored dictionary words according to their length, the overall frequency of the letters that appear in them, the number of times letters are repeated within the words etc. and from the top of those I manually picked the most obscure ones.
Never. I refuse to do on-call without extra incentives. or implement a system that has an increasing payout until someone takes the shift.

Anyone who does on-call without extra pay is a sucker - no disrespect.
"if you like the Platinum theme used in Mac OS 8 and 9"

There were three iterations (that I recall) of the interface on color Macs - the first one had window controls that were black and white, the second had a subtle 3d effect, and the third (which I think you mean by "Platinum") had more depth and was mostly gray.

I personally preferred the second. Attempts at imitating grayish metal on screen don't appeal to me, and I thought OS X got even worse when they switched to the brushed metal look.

But I really liked the design theme for the physical cases that was also called "Platinum" even though I think it's generally considered an uninspired period for Apple. And I have nothing against the aluminium or titanium Mac cases either.

The one change I would make to a "neo-Mac" window manager would be to have handles on all sides of a window for resizing. Although I like the Mac approach of having scrollbars and a lower right resize control that are substantial and obvious, I also like the ability to resize from all sides like most other interfaces have. I know there were Mac programs for the classic OS that did implement something like that, but it was never universal.

I hope to do something with PIR Sensors and then image recognition. This would also be useful for my trail camera idea. Maybe I am totally off but I hope with two or more sensors with small field of view that all have to trigger I can reduce false detects. Once they have triggers then fire off image recognition to see the dog. No idea if that will work :(
Visualization: Do You Have a Fixed Mindset or a Growth Mindset?
many of us, myself included, find silence distracting. I prefer to have something going on around me, whether the buzz of a coffee shop or a tv show I’ve seen lots of times droning on in the background.

Lately since Disney+ launched that’s been episodes of The Simpson’s for me. I’ve seen all the early stuff enough that I don’t need to give it anywhere near my full attention to still enjoy it and occasionally chuckle while I’m writing an email or putting together some low complexity code.
The problem with programmers is rather incompetence than obeying unethical instructions. It’s not a business manager who tells a developper to concatenate a SQL string rather than use a parametrised query, to leave a datastore wide open rather than setting up a permissioning, to store passwords unencrypted or not validate inputs from the client.

Yeah, there is a handful of cases where software developers have been given bad instructions from their management, and perhaps Boeing is one of them. But the real problem is developers being unaware of the most basic good practices.
The reason the engineers are given ethical training is because engineers (like accountants, appraisers or similar people) have historically had an institutional independence from their employers.

Imagine the state of the tech world today if all of the "engineer" programmers at Google, Facebook, etc... practiced at the same ethical level as actual engineers.
This. Or have an auction system where the prize keeps increasing til someone takes the shift.
ML is a very applied subject. There is entirely too little theory people need to know. In fact the most impressive vision/nlp architectures are indeed uninterpretable alchemy. It would make very little difference to study it at a university. Unless of course you 're going for probability theory.
Some people understand it. We have dug in deep because companies are turning to us to interpret it. Here’s our resource to learn in case anyone is interested.

Note since these were originally published, the big thing that changed is that employees and employees of clients and vendors are now generally exempt from the CCPA. There is still a general notice obligation (think short privacy policy) for your employees, but that is about it. They also tightened up the FCRA and GLB exceptions, but those are not generally relied on by the majority of businesses out there.
No Single Points of Failure applies also to organizations.

Boeing's corporate governance failures became life threatening only because FAA certification process failed. Regulatory capture of FAA was the second failure.

but those are flat and lifeless definitions of satire. i'm delighted by good satire that points out my own as-yet-undiscovered follies in a wry or clever way. a lot of creative writing and philosophical works do this.

idea exchanged is neutered if all writing must be carefully crafted to not offend even a little bit. plenty of comments here offend others, even without that intent, but the best ones will (1) not target individuals and (2) make a reasonable argument. to me, satire is just adding a little cleverness to these latter kinds of comments.

in any case, i'm not imploring you to agree with me, just adding my voice to the chorus.
That’s impressive, but I feel like you are avoiding the main criticism in that link. Testing doesn’t matter at your stage. Imagine if you spent a bunch of time perfecting the human resource procedures for your websites, it’s too early to think about that. Maybe that is hard to internalize since it was your job for so long
Well, the only financial incentive to do good is money. But that is a tautology, not an observation. There could potentially also be other types of incentives, but I don’t see how they are supposed to apply here.
I've been rewatching the first season of Fringe lately and really enjoying the type of pacing you're talking about here. While the standalone episodes often have some piece tying into the overarching conspiracy, they're also valuable for offering time to build the relationships between the characters. Often in more contemporary shows, with hour-long episodes in 8-12 episode seasons, I feel like the interpersonal relationships rise and conflict abruptly and feel more contrived as a result; these longer seasons make the relationships feel more natural, as they're built on-screen rather than partially between episodes.
In its current form, ccpa is useless. The companies will just demand all personal data for any purpose or deny access.

Notably, these are all winter courses, taught over the course of three weeks in January.

I understand the Arduino model is different than other projects but we proudly use Arduino as it's open source and has lots of great features. As we use the Arduino model you can find that our source consists of the .ino you mentioned here https://github.com/trustcrypto/OnlyKey-Firmware as well as libraries here https://github.com/trustcrypto/libraries. Our code is reviewed by Codacy and yes, it does receive a grade of A. For the .ino grading you will need to look at the OnlyKey-Firmware Github repo and for the libraries check out the libraries library. I think some of the confusion in your comment here may be related to how Arduino works, all source can be found on Github.
Sell it on any above-board exchange, wire the money to your bank account, if there's any income (either when receiving these coins for something, or capital gains due to them appreciating in value), file the appropriate documentation with IRS or whatever your local tax authority is. If the income is substantial, then (just as with any less common substantial income) a tax lawyer might be helpful.
I'm not missing the forrest for the trees, I know your argument and reject it.

Again, if you had showed an example where something is actually being done with the errors, I would have agreed with you 100%. But when all that is being done is bubbling the errors, having this be done manually by the programmer (and read every time by the code reviewer) is both inefficient and error-prone. Not to mention that one of the first 'skills' I developed as a Go programmer was to ignore any block starting with 'if err != nil', since it appears so, so much in the code. It's not uncommon to have one function contain 10 different 'if err != nil { return nil, fmt.Errorf("Error doing X %v", err)}' for trivial logic (make 10 calls to some external service, abort if anything fails).

I don't have a problem with encoding errors in the function return type. But, coupled with Go's inability to abstract any kind of control flow, this error 'handling' strategy is almost as bad as C's. Other languages that don't offer exceptions avoid this problem with higher level control mechanisms, such as monads or macros.

Even worse, the Go designers recommend some horrible patterns [0], like Scan() not returning an error, but putting the scanner in an error state that all other Scanner functions respect, and having client code explicitly check for the Error() property of the scanner object at the end - preventing any generic tool from helping check whether you correctly handle errors in your code, and introducing an entirely different pattern.

And I don't know the source of your claim about Go's reliability, but all of the studies I have read comparing programming languages have found no or very little effect of the choice of language on overall number of bugs. One recent study [1] which included Go did have it as one of the more reliable languages (but behind Ruby, Perl or Clojure), but with a very minor overall effect, that may be explained by many factors other than error handling (they did not compare languages by this aspect).

Edit: And one minor point, but I did miss the %w in your example code, which does indeed make it possible for code consuming your errors to differentiate them. In my defense, this is a feature of the very newest version of Go only; and having the difference between a 'testable' error and a not testable one be %w vs %v in a format string seems a design decision particularly hostile to code review.

This is amazing, but I wonder if traditional enterprises would accept Dropbox to be secure. In the startup world, this will be great though.
Im unsure about why you ask me that question, and its not always easy to show restraint to argument bait.

So look, I am simply one kind of client - i enjoy buying things i know i want. I buy certificates, and software as one thing, using a single payment, if i choose to. I dont like “cancel if you like” trials, or running subs.

lets not turn this into what it isnt.

Selling things for a fixed price Is an established model. Coders get paid in any form they choose to, by those who want the service. I simply told the OP what model works for people like me, and in not alone here. OP is infact under no obligation to listen to me.

Do you know how this will actually solve the problem? Like will they actually let customers block calls without the desired level of attestation?
That is why high risk industries have regulators like the FAA instead of just relying on the fear of liability.

In terms of liability, Boeing can try push it to the subbies and the subbies can try and push it back to Boeing. Both are trying to bamboozle the non-technical lawyers.

The purpose of the FAA is to cut through that crap and enforce actual, effective change through sanctions or otherwise, and they didn’t do that. That’s what fell apart here.

We have redefined boredom [1].

> The more I consume, the more I need to consume, the more bored I feel. I often turn to video games to release the tension. I can spend two solid hours shooting at virtual objects until I start to feel less entertained. I then find myself pulling up my phone closer to consume more scrollable content while still playing the game. Only when all my sense are stimulated at the same time, I feel relieved.

> This becomes the new norm. Anything less will result in that acute sense of boredom. Have a conversation with a friend, you'll feel bored. They can't possibly compete with a video game, a political rant and a funny video at the same time. Right in the middle of a conversation you hear that familiar beep from your phone and you have to pick it up. It's not that you ignore your friends, or the dinner conversation, it's that you need to have them all occur at the same time to feel normal.

> "Sure tabloid X is all lies, but NY Times/WaPo/etc don't check facts"

I trust mainstream publications to mostly report accurately, but they also choose what to report. E.g. the NY Times decided to reframe US history around slavery [1]. Suppose, at the height of the refugee crisis, the Guardian decided to launch a project to reframe Europe's history around Islamic invasions and slavery [2,3,4,5]? Suddenly, it would become very clear there's more to journalism than only accuracy.

Honestly, while I'm one of the people who does this a lot, I don't think it always benefits me. I don't watch 'TV', just streamed stuff but I rarely bother to pause it when I look up these details. And that absolutely impacts my viewing experience because if a movie is plot-heavy enough, I can miss chunks of it easily why I try to figure out why that actress in a minor part seems familiar or what the song playing in the background is. Would love to kick the habit but it's surprisingly tough!
The science ones are often the weakest, though. Melvyn Bragg is well out of his depth on those topics.

Which grad students? In CS the use of these is long gone (at least in the two departments I’ve been in). I wonder how prevalent they still are in physics.

But I’m pretty damn sure that physicists, mathematicians and computer scientists all just type their equations straight into latex unless it’s a super complicated computer generated formula, which you don’t typically write in papers..
One word: accountability. Your employer is not accountable to you, you’re at best a cost center. Your government is accountable to you via process known as democracy.

This made me think of “The Mandalorian”. An 8 episode “season”, and a good half of the episodes were unrelated to the main story arc. Is this a good thing or not? It’s hard to say. I don’t feel terribly attached to the show, frankly.

This is why I love the cinema. I'm forced to watch the actual movie. Even if it's not great, it's 2 hours where I will be focused on something and not mindlessly scrolling. Sometimes I even enjoy the movie!
Noone seems to have mentioned the potential for a second screen to augment what's being watched on TV. I'm frequently reaching for phone or tablet to look up details about actors, or references I don't get, or just other related info.

I've had decent luck with saying straight out at the start of the call "I know this is a scan. I am on the federal Do Not Call list and will be reporting you. I'm hanging up now" and then hanging up. My intention is to get my number marked as having a low probability of converting; if you lead them along they might think a few more calls will give them a decent chance at profiting. I also feel sympathy for people whose best option is telephone scams.

Note: I'm lying about Do Not Call. It's just another way for people to learn your number has a real person behind it. But the synchronization between the Federal list and internal systems of callers is a shitshow so actually reputable mass dialers will just assume they missed you and add you to their internal list. (Edit: So of course I don't report people. Even if I was really on the list, that takes time and has essentially no return)
