I grew up in Sweden, the laws here are mostly done to protect and help the people. Most countries I've seen in Europe works similarly. USA on the other hand feels like a very hostile place, everyone feels very distrusting of each other. I don't think that all that distrust is needed, it is better to cooperate more, you get so much for free for doing that.
SEEKING WORK | Devops Engineer & Penetration Tester

It's a unfinished work.

But It already run in following engines:

- gitlab-ci: https://gitlab.com/rosiney.gp/mkdkr/commits/master
- actions: https://github.com/rosineygp/mkdkr/actions
- travis: https://travis-ci.org/rosineygp/mkdkr
- circle-ci: https://circleci.com/gh/rosineygp/mkdkr/tree/master

The bagdes on README.md show it.

Except for gitlab, you have to write your on .yaml by hand. I not finished the exporters/generators.

After write your Makefile, integrated with a engine isn't a big problem.

Take a look at .travis.yml, .gitlab-ci.yml, .circleci/config.yml and .github/workflows/main.yml they are very similar and dumb, just call all jobs resolved in Makefile.
I mean high fat vs. the reduced fat foods craze that swept the developed world starting a few decades ago. Really, just a return to previous, moderate and balanced healthy fat consumption.
Completely agree that we need to update how we think about freedom in regards to big platforms.

In the age of newspapers there were thousands across the country and major markets were often served by many popular newspapers, giving a home in print to many different political views. The market forstered (political) diversity in ownership.

Contrast this with today, where major social networks and tech companies have absolute control over what we see and interact with, and because network effects are more powerful in social media than print media, there are just a few social networks which reduces competition and the possibility for diversity of ownership in the industry.

The existence of a small set of corporate overlords who in secrecy can powerfully influence how people think, behave and react is very scary for those of us who value a free and open society.

The behavior of social networks and platforms therefore must be regulated to ensure the immense power that comes with operating a social network at scale is not abused for private ends. Their power is too great to avoid a political solution.
Doesn't this all just come down to the fact that lambs think eagles are evil and eagles think lambs are tasty?
Newsletters and other BS notifications are the new spam.

Sure, you can technically opt-out and keep your inbox clean by spending 5 minutes opting out of the garbage every time you sign up to a new service, but that’s irrelevant considering nobody does this and most of my friends’ mailboxes are pretty much unusable because this kind of spam arrives every minute and they have tens of thousands of unread emails in their inbox.

However, in this case I’m not sure Matrix or any other service would be the solution. If the service is neutral and doesn’t impose policies on the content then scum like marketers will just move to it. On the other hand actually having “acceptable use policies” would require centralisation and bring its own problems to the table.

The real solution here is regulation, not technology.

If you are trying to learn how to code, do you just want to find blocks of code to copy paste or do you want some explanation?

I realize sometimes the articles are pure fluff, but if you are passionate about what you are making, you want to read the how and why, the trial and error, and maybe even the history and backstory of the dish.

There are no utopias. European states are not better or worse, just differently bad than America.
Agree with you (and others who've made similar points). Hours/day is way less important than days/week. With free days you can do significantly more with yourself, whereas if you work 6 instead of 8 hours, work still takes up most of your day and you can't plan much around it.
There are probably only a few hundred prospective customers. (Some may buy several units). Each unit will cost millions. They can discuss the expected workloads/performance with each prospective customer individually.
The gap between a 6DOF headset and a 3DOF headset is almost as much as the gap between a 3DOF headset and simple stereoscopic images. The 3DOF viewers are whimsical but a good full motion VR experience can actually click you into full immersion. The kind of immersion where you might accidentally lean on a table or wall that doesn't exist.
A part of me wants to respond to this article with a simple "OK Boomer" because it's easy to see people using this story as justification for a weak "technology bad" argument. However... there really people who are hopelessly addicted to social media. They are a minority, but they exist.

I think of social media the same way I think about alcohol. It can be great at times and in moderation, but it's highly addictive and can absolutely ruin you if you're not careful. The big difference is we don't let minors drink alcohol without supervision.
Cleaning the house would be much simpler and useful.

As with all titles that starts with a question, the answer is probably no.

Sure it may work for some easy cases but most products aren't that simple and as soon as you want to add some extra functionality you basically have to rewrite the application from scratch.

I'm happy that it worked for this guy but if I was a betting man I wouldn't bet on "low code".
The original title gives a very different impression than the posted title. Here's the original:

"I Was Google’s Head of International Relations. Here’s Why I Left."
It did cost them actual T7+ employees leaving. None of these people made a ruckus about it - they are too smart to burn bridges. Still they did call out bullshit in their parting letters.
yeah, she missed the part where she used her network to market.
depends on the company and individual

i think as is it is at most a half working day for a lot of people and yet you're expected to treat it like a full day

with a true 4 day workweek then you can focus on working 4 "real" full days
Absinthe does some dumb things by default too.
You need to manually optimize your resolvers.

One annoying thing Absinthe did by default I noticed was fetching entire object from DB, even though the GraphQL query only returns it's ID. For example query below would fetch each person from a DB, even though we already had a list of person IDs on the friends level:

{
friends {
person {
id
}
}
}
I Left My Job as a Senior Software Engineer – Mosh Hamedani
Keeping the performance figures a secret is a red flag on the level of "run, don't walk, away from this company".

At best their solution is on par with GPUs in a performance per watt/dollar sense. At worst they're scammers looking for a sucker.
Numbers in headlines test better for SEO if they are odd, preferable prime.
That thinking might have made sense 300 years ago, but not today.
I don't think it's just the size of the population, but the characterization of it. In the USA there's a rather vast underclass compared to other prosperous countries. I'm not sure about the size in general, but in many Rust Belt cities I wouldn't be surprised if a quarter or even half of the population are disenfranchised by decades and centuries of discrimination, requiring an approach of "take what you can get when you can get it" rather than "be a valued and valuable part of a larger community".

I hope one day down the line Universal Basic Income can level the playing field somewhat - that's one progressive policy that can't be "abused" because it's universal. No one is going to claim it fraudulently, nor will they suspect others of doing so, because that's impossible.
I would get autoplay video after the headline about irrelevant topic, ads, a lot of subjective and biased analysis, then the last sentence us what I was looking for.
My back-of-the-envelope numbers are close to yours, but I think a very big caveat is the confidence of these associations from epidemiological studies. 18% percent is quite low by most standards. Most epidemiological studies expect 100%-400% to draw strong correlations. Smoking, by example, is in the thousands of percent increase risk.

"In adequately designed studies we can be reasonably confident about BIG relative risks, sometimes; we can be only guardedly confident about relative risk estimates of the order of 2.0, occasionally; we can hardly ever be confident about estimates of less than 2.0, and when estimates are much below 2.0, we
are quite simply out of business." [1]

The estimate of 1.18 would probably be regarded as low. While the numbers we calculated may be nothing to sneeze at, I think we should be extremely cautious about our confidence in interpreting those values to real-world conclusions.

How to Unclog Your Drain Without Damaging Your Septic System
Two undercover agents distracted him while a third snatched his running and logged-in laptop. https://www.businessinsider.com/the-arrest-of-silk-road-mast...

That sounds like exactly a good use case for this. Or maybe that's what you meant?
I don't mind individual agreements between employer and employee of that nature. But as a politician, it is not possible to design legislation changes like that because different jobs varies a lot in how productivity is measured, and for some jobs, the hours matters in a way that an employee can not make up in a personal productivity. Think of a restaurant for example, or a hospital.
It worked for the weekend. With increases in productivity, I don't see any reason why reducing hours couldn't work again today.

In 1940, when the weekend was implemented in the United States, the real GDP per capita was 10,027.46. Today, it is 58,024.99.

With a 5.8x increase in productivity, we should be able to work significantly less then we did in 1940.

I doubt 996 is as effective as a normal 955 model and if it is it is probably short lived.

The same option exists in Chrome and Chrome-likes such as Brave. You can find it in the Accessibility page in Settings.
It sounds like he addressed the point you raised (App Stores) even though he'd prefer to keep it GPL so changes are required to be shared.

What's the objection?
I think Apple bans strong copyleft licenses somehow, by having store requirements that aren't compatible with them. I'm not sure about details.
Sorry, I'd missed that Pulsar was a streaming log system (like kafka), as well as a pub/sub system. HN title misled me :)
she is right, but this a terrible example because her idea is weak but her marketing is strong..

The state of PDF rendering on most of these devices has always been the showstopper for me.
I've been listening a lot to Slavoj Zizek recently and he discusses this often. His argument is that to make good people do horrible things, you need an ideology that basically says that you are an agent of "what must be done" and then the ends justify the means.

He describes how Nazi soldiers, who were instinctively horrified by what they were doing, were instructed to try to dissociate from their bodies and their actions, and identify themselves completely and impersonally with the nationalist cause.
For a microcontroller, the chip is better supported than I had expected. All peripherals are well documented with registers clearly defined, the headers all seem to be correct, and the documentation has been translated well enough.

There are shortcomings, such as the USB example code in the SDK not building, but I'm grateful for the chance to hack on a RISC-V SoC for less than the price of a beer.
It is always easy to take away people's rights. Federal government's strategy has been to isolate tiny groups and take away their rights with the support of the majority without realizing those laws will bite everyone's ass eventually. While most of us do not do drugs we all are less safe, have less rights because of the war on drugs that we have supported. We want our politicians to be "tough on crime" which only means harassing people who have been on wrong side of a complex legal system.

I wouldn't call that law oppression, it might not be perfect but it isn't really a big deal either way.
I had a somewhat similar discovery with V8 (JS VM):

V8 allocates a whopping 64 bytes per empty object.

{}

But if you initialize it with a single property, the size shrinks to 40 bytes. [1]

{v8Hack: null}

I too was creating lots of object that would stay empty, but V8 (incorrectly) assumed I was going to change them later so it reserved some extra space. [2]

Unfortunately, there is no size hint like for Java's HashMap; the closest hint you can do is create your objects with dummy properties.

Skim milk tastes like whole milk that's been watered down. Simply unpleasant.
"Public" is a thing distinct from "private." On your property, you get to decide where the dividing line is. That's one of the primary ideas behind the notion of private property.

The issue I have is when the property owner isn't told who has access to the resulting still images or video stream, or is actively deceived about it. I'd be reluctant to use a Ring camera at my front door for that reason, and there's no way on Earth I'd install anything like that inside my home.
Yeah, the listings on this page don't quite make it up to a human level of coherence:

"Thus serve a 24 hour security pournising. Also hype is requested as much as you please empty and have a prestige less um be restriction, day or night."

It's close, though! But maybe not close enough for people to worry -- the last 10% of the security pournising always takes 90% of the development time.

SEEKING WORK - Remote - A designer who can code!

I got 5 years of experience in Fin-Tech and over 9 years combined in Journalism, TV and Media, Health, Science and more. I'm experienced in Vue.js, Django, Phoenix framework, Quasar, Hugo, Laravel, ClojureScript, PostCSS and Sass just to name a few. Pick up new tech easily and like working on complex products. Fin-Tech case-studies available upon request but other case-studies can be seen on my website: https://gilli.is

I can provide the following for you:

- Design — Whether you need a design from scratch, a redesign, or you're having issues with a small part of you product, I can design it.

- Front-end Development — I can build the design into a pixel perfect product, this is rare among us designers and has proven to be extremely powerful for the end result since there is less wasted effort.

- Analysis — Your users know everything that's wrong with your product but have difficulty communicating it. Often it comes out in anger and frustration. That's where my usability analysis comes in. I'll review your app from an outsider and expert point of view, and give you actionable feedback.

- Free advice — You might not be sure if I am the right fit and I very well might not be. I can help you figure out the best direction to go, for free.

I take my work very serious and put a lot of work into good communication, good planning, and, last but not least, properly understanding your product so that we can produce great results.
