No, using an already existing engine is called delivering a product in a predictable timeframe. Valid reasons to not use a specific engine for a specific project are plentiful, even if all engines get ruled out, but "cheating" is nonsense.
It's sort of true. There's a lot of construction going on in and around Istanbul, and most of the time it's either illegal or approved ex post facto for the benefit of the people close to government. Canal istanbul had a similar issue with proposed-land (before it was known) being acquired in advance by people close to Erdogan abroad, before it's acquired back under emminent domain at a premium.

All this gets prevented by the new municipal government in Istanbul and Ankara.

Erdogan also is on a tight leash these days, and publicly threatened to cut federal funding for both Istanbul and Ankara - it is kind of unheard of because when local government was under AKP ruling they had practically unlimited funding. So now that his party lost the local elections in two major cities, he's trying to make them look incompetent by cutting their funding, in hopes for winning the next election.

Either Mansur Yavas or Ekrem Imamoglu will eventually be a candidate for President in following years, it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.
in many people’s experience (mine included) there’s phase change sometime in the 48-72 hour mark in which hunger/appetite essentially disappears (some describe it is gone, some as easily ignored background noise)

Personally, I’ve gone more than 14 days several times, I usually start when not feeling very well (and lacking appetite) which makes even the first couple of days trivial.

If you do want to go farther than 36 (at your own risk of course - I am not a medical professional and this is not medical advice) make sure you are well vitamined, well hydrated, and well electrolyted (e.g. with snake juice) - very often, need for some essential vitamin/mineral masquerades as hunger or appetite.
> but boy did it start with a bang.

Lost got some crazy publicity (for the time) as well: Lots of people thought the shot of the plane from the inside being torn in two was real, not from a TV show.
You summed it up perfectly. Jobs I successfully finished after a few bites of tragically not understanding involved working closely with the Excel department and making sure they could function as usual but extracting data to go into the systems and providing a net gain for those people.

At the end of the day, the people that do the magic that keeps everyones job paying aren't always (or nearly never are) the people that make the contract hire decisions. If you can give those people a tool that lets them 2x their work and be excited about it there's a big net win. If you want them to move to a statically modeled web interface with dynamic tables and they lose all their ability to do everything they know in Excel, everyone loses.

Portability and timing is key if you have to take on that sort of gig. Team buy in might be worth more than that. Never take somebodies sewing machine if you still want that biz to make enough money to pay you.
* delegitimize private property

* use “climate change” as excuse to ban private property/impose socialism

[Quote]
If we want to keep cities safe in the face of climate change, we need to seriously question the ideal of private homeownership.

The growth of urban regions in the second half of the 20th century has been dominated by economic development, aspirations of home ownership, and belief in the importance of private property.

The valorizing of homeownership and property rights results not only in increased exposure to climate-change-fueled fires, but also in our inadequate responses to them.

* promote government planning of housing

[Quote]
There has been resurgent interest in government-planned and -built public housing, including recent legislation proposed by Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Bernie Sanders that would shore up and invigorate the federal system.

* move people into cities

[Quote] In California, that would mean more than moving away from fire-prone areas.

* dispel the american dream

[Quote] Even with the threats of climate change and rampant fire looming, the ideals of the American dream that have been instilled for more than 150 years will be difficult to dispel. Those ideals have blinded us to other possibilities.
Funny you should say that, because a lot of US companies eventually implement filters that follow local censorship.
For those that don't know, Netflix recently bought and reopened New York City’s iconic Paris Theater (ostensibly to host limited showings of Netflix Original films so they're eligible for Academy Awards):

On cellphones, no/C attestation can show up with "suspected spam". I believe T-Mobile does this today somehow, possibly a line under the caller ID.

Whether or not it's a premium service will probably depend on the carrier.

As for your original question (blocking), I'm not sure. It's certainly in the realm of possibilities and carriers' fraud departments will have to decide what to do with it.
Right - this is familiar to New York City residents but anyone unfamiliar with the local politics needs a primer. NYC does a lot of crazy stuff like this - it’s usually a thinly disguised cash grab. The Strand is a relatively huge chunk of real estate in a hipster part of town, this is probably someone’s scheme to force them out - wait until the press has died down then suddenly the sidewalk and facade inspectors show up, next thing you know there are tens of thousands of dollars in repairs that need to be done, and strand is forced to close since they’ll never find a like space to relocate to.
> Because... adding levels below C and conventional assembler still leaves C exactly as many levels below "high level" language as it was before and if there's a "true low level language" for today I'd like to hear about it.

Me too, actually. I know you meant that rhetorically, but what if you designed an instruction set that better matched modern processor designs and then built a low-level compiled language on top of it? My hunch is that modern processor designs are so complicated that you’d have to do similar amounts of abstraction to make the language usable, but I’m not sure.
You weren't far off.

All California cities will go bankrupt because of 8% public pensions in a matter of years. (This is well-documented.)

San Jose came close to already bankrupting itself on the new airport terminal, but an out-of-state airport construction consultant saved a billion dollars. (See the excellent Mercury News article.)

One mayor did a half-hearted attempt to fight the 8%, but "died on that hill."

Mountain View is one of the few cities in a good place, as 1/3 of their revenue comes from renting the business park they own across Central from downtown. Unless they bury Castro, which is estimated at $1 billion or so.

I'm curious what happens to Santa Clara City. Only 10,000 residents, but they're on the hook for the $1.2 billion stadium they built for the Yorke family, who live in Oakland. lol. :)

Policy and legislation are not the same thing. Policy is how cabinet decides to run its ministerial portfolios. If they want to implement a policy that requires large changes, this will often require new legislation, but the two things are quite seperate. The job of the civil service is to implement government policy, which may include the whims of a particular politician. Civil servants are supposed to be independent in the sense that they will faithfully implement the policy of any government, regardless of their own political opinions on said policy. They do not operate independent of government policy. That is how you ensure thousands of unelected government officials uphold the values of a democratic society.
The state could've just enacted a policy to give rebates to home-owning retirees, instead of turning homes into this Christmas special's length of multi-generational preferential tax treatment. If this policy is truly about "not kicking out Granny because she's old and not working and the property is worth more", there is zero reason to not force a reassessment when the kids or grandkids inherit the home.

I work 90% remote at the moment, and the only thing stopping me from moving to a smaller town is the fear of not having a community or friends nearby.

It’s so important to have in person human contact, especially with remote work, that Montana or wherever will always be a dream. Would love some ideas on how to solve this if anyone has any!
The bigger picture is throwing everything away every few model years isn't "innovation," it's planned-obsolescence consumerism

x86* is a terrible architecture, though. The world would be a much better place without it.

Turing completeness and standardization > whiz-bang over-engineering

Turing completeness and standardization are fine, but there were and are better things to standardize on. "Something with a reasonable amount of thought going into it" is not "over-engineered."

Claiming "planned-obsolescence" would be reasonable if people weren't going through all of this work to maintain fifty years of (near) compatibility with an architecture originally used in a calculator.

No kidding. This is a quintessential example of what is wrong in research. If you were to just read the paper you’d definitely come to the conclusion that the researchers want to make—that monkeys dance much like we do. Then you go and watch the video and find their conclusion...biased at the least.

The instances in which this type of tomfoolery becomes truly malignant are the ones in which it’s less obvious. I.e researchers have hidden or hashed the original data and then published something that we can’t unscramble.

I’m literally expecting to hear “everybody dance now” and end up hearing that charade instead. Lol.

See, these people are on a list because they were fast-tracked into the positions they got due to their affiliation with the people who organised the coup, back when the coup organisers and Erdogan were BFFs.

It probably sounds like tin foil hat conspiracy theorists to people unfamiliar with the life in Turkey but in Turkey, there are religious cults that are good for networking and social support. Essentially, they will pay for your education and get you to the top places but expect you to report to them and take orders from them when it comes to. Like the Chinese Govt using its citizens employed in tech companies to steal secrets etc.

This particular one was active since 30-40 years now and was able to scale its operations to enormous size, having people everywhere. The founder was the original podcaster and Youtuber, spreading its message through VHS tapes etc. later creating a business model based on subscription(literally, subscribing to their newspaper multiple times) and expanding into a business network where you get business but you also pay in some of your profits. So these guys were on the radar of the secularist for a long time and are routinely purged from a critical position up until Erdogan teamed up with them. At some point, they got into a fight and Erdogan won and Erdogan had a list of their names of those he directly enabled, the rest were deducted from there. Imperfect but very well educated guess of the cult members, let's say. Probably not too much off since he had at least 3 years before the coup to polish his list of Gulenits.

After the coup, Erdogan gained unchecked power and this is scary stuff. He is trying to be influential leader over the whole region but I am not sure that he is smart enough to do that.

BTW, Erdogan dropped the Islamist rhetoric after the coup. He is now on the nationalistic side of the things, having the support of the nationalist secularist. All those imprisonments of the Gulenists were a wet dream of any secular nationalist. The rhetoric about foreign powers trying to destroy Turkey, evil west etc. is also not stranger to the secular nationalist.

Concept 2 ergometers, model D, are the gold standard. Used ones can be found for around $600 to $700 and new ones are $950. Many gyms sell their rowing machines because people don't use them, however, crossfit studios snap them up. Check your local craigslist. There's also RP3's from Row Perfect, but they're $3,500. Some swear by the RP3's as feeling much closer to rowing on water.
Interesting article. Read it this morning. Curious what the 'snowflakes' think about it.
Tesla rejected pretty much all modern physics including the existence of atoms and electrons, special and general relativity, and radioactivity. This makes it quite unlikely that he had any in-depth knowledge about nuclear energy. None of his inventions go beyond 19th century physics.

There is clearly a real problem when private landowners suddenly face much, much lower property values at the same time residents ensure their own continued enjoyment of the historically valuable building.

The real irony will be if the Strand moves its bookstore elsewhere, or simply closes. The value of this building is largely tied in with the business, not only that New Yorkers love the facade.

In a discussion of Netflix's poor original content hit-rate, an example of a direct competitor's massively higher hit-rate seems apt. How does Disney's strategy result in better performing content, and how could Netflix learn from it? Is it something wrong with their executive team, or is it just poor strategy, or is it something else?

Netflix has taken on enough debt to finance original content that their performance track record in that domain should make investors ask these questions.

Windows 3 themes never worked that well though. Dark mode is a single Boolean flag, which is much easier for application developers to follow.
Sadly it doesn't seem to work that way. BE/AZERTY keyboards, for instance, have a physical key that US/QWERTY keyboards do not (<>\). The OS will ignore that key unless it's set up to use a layout that includes the key. There is no way to program a QMK keyboard to fix that (unless you change the OS to run the BE layout), because QMK does not map keypresses to characters. It maps keypresses to keycodes, which depend on OS keyboard layouts, specifically US/QWERTY and sometes DVORAK. At least that's how I see it.

There were issues with the audio, writing, pacing, costumes and at times bad cgi. Really hope they get things together for season 2.
It’s not really “education” that changed his perspective but rather immersion in a group of people with a completely different mindset. The same could be accomplished spending time with them in a job, a volunteer group, a prison, etc. He also likely wouldn’t have changed his perspective much if he took the courses online asynchronously.

Is getting the "connectedness index" up from 5.9 to 6.6 significant?

The "article in the British Medical Journal" is here.[1] The "Whitehall study" has been tracking a group of British civil servants since the 1980s. The alcohol effect seems to be slightly above the noise level. But the level of alcohol consumption at which things start to get worse is quite low. "Alcohol consumption >14 units/week was associated with an increased risk of dementia in a linear fashion". 14 units a week is about one glass of wine a day.[2]

Also, in this study alcohol consumption is self-reported, so it's probably low.

I’m not worried about the kids in college now who are too young, busy, and roll their eyes at mainstream American political culture to give a shit about the latest outrage-du-jour on Twitter. They’ll be graduating into the strongest economy in American history. They’ll be just fine.

It’s the young adults who are a few years into their career being crushed by high prices, low wages, holding useless degrees under piles of debt that I imagine make up the majority of the online outage mobs and who are likely going to be a lost generation.
I wonder what percentage of the United States, due to time commitments related to family and work, get to spend time/immersion in groups other than their facebook/instagram tribe and television/radio broadcasters.

> There’s a lot of story or visual lulls where if I don’t have a second screen, I’ll just end up wandering away from the TV and won’t finish the show.

I think a lot of people feel this way, and not to place too much faith in TV show writers but this seems like a shame as it limits what experiences can be delivered by the medium.

This is exactly what has happened with movies, as well. At some point in the 2010's I noticed that in many movies I watched almost every shot was in motion. No moment of stillness or quieter reflection, just constant noise and motion, even in movies I thought were particularly good like the new Mad Max movie.

I think it's essentially a battle being fought between screens: the movie can't let the modern audience's attention waver for even a second, otherwise they might look down at their "second screen", lose track of the plot and consequently believe the movie wasn't that great.

This sucks because restful or reflective moments can give you a sense of sheltering, or the calm before a storm (for example), but you just can't get that feeling without moments where the camera calms down and people stop shouting.
As a certified MSDE in the late 90s, I cringed frequently in the early 2000s as design guideline after guideline was violated and landed by the wayside. There was so much thought put into every element, and guidelines of placement down to the pixels. And you were tested on all of it to get/retain certification.

As others have said, targeting multiple resolutions and dpis, and supporting reactive/resizable canvases, has driven most of those guidelines to the curb. A different era.

You are right. Fair point. I jumped and made the association there - but it's the group environment.
I feel like going on IF without some kind of carbohydrate restriction (ideally, ketogenic diet) is a bit like alternating between stepping on the brakes and on the accelerator, i.e. not as healthy or effective.

Beer can be high in sugar, especially Belgian/Abbey beers that often include glucose syrup in their ingredients. Something I discovered with horror as they are some of my favorites :/

EDIT: clarification, don't want to imply that IF without carb restriction is bad, just probably not as effective.

No it doesn't. The "freely-given consent" clause is incredibly vague and cannot force a business to provide a value to consumers against their choice and/or for free.
