I don't know how often I can watch someone godmode noclip allammo pwn the opposing team and still find it novel, entertaining or engaging.

He just wants to fuck with people. It'd be a different story if he had a different self-serving material goal every time and used surprising, morally despicable means to attain it, that still caught you off guard after the 10th episode.
I mean, this had also happened to Apple with the recent checkm8 exploit that abused a UaF situation in the bootrom by USB communication reset. Not even Apple is secure; nothing is secure. The only secure is design by open, that's why Linux/FreeBSD had marginally less CVEs than Windows or Macs
You can definitely encode ed25519 keys to a QR code.
The article deals with The Principle of Mediocrity as applied to extra terrestrial life in an optimistic way, essentially saying we've been here before, many times, convinced of our special place and we've always been corrected by some new perspective.

So, while not actually countering current challenges - eg. The Fermi Paradox - head on, the reminder was reassuring for those of us sceptical about life elsewhere, but longing to be proved wrong.
You can laugh at a character without respecting or agreeing with the character. I personally find the absurdity of the stories funny (maybe because it caught me off guard).

I listened to it again in 2017, having read it a few years after it originally came out. It still stands up well.

I consider the book to be one of the best general introductions to the history and politics of the establishment of the ARPANET/Internet, but it depends what you're looking for and what your degree of involvement and interest in the history of computing is! Some reviewers consider it a bit dry; I didn't.

You'll learn about the socio-political conditions in the US that led to the establishment of DARPA, the key personalities who drove the effort technically and politically and the invention of packet switching and network protocols.

The book serves as an excellent base for further reading on this era, such as the magisterial biography of JCR Licklider, "The Dream Machine", Steven Levy's "Hackers", John Markoff's bizarre and entertaining "What The Dormouse Said".

If you choose to put a WiFi password up on a sign as a QR code, do not post it in view of a window. Passers-by should not be able to connect to your network from outside your home or office. This advice also applies to plain text passwords posted on signs.
I have hereby been whooshed, though in my defense I have a guest-only, throttled and isolated wifi network so the potential for misuse didn't occur to me.
It's perfectly possible to be both a design decision and an error. False dichotomy, as they say :-)
We did, until the dinosaurs nuked it.
To be fair, photoshop didnt always do this. I still use CS2 and it definetely doesn't work like you describe.

I'd say that GIMP is somewhat comparable to the feature set of CS2, though I admit I havent used gimp much.

Thanks for the elaboration, I get that the design just doesn't do it for you personally. Did you already see that the game's also available in a highly abstract "Cartoon" visual style featuring hand-drawn, 2D animated sprites à la Paper Mario 64? Here's the trailer in the "Cartoon" visual style:

Maybe this style appeals more to you?
They could retain their micro economic system, sure, but could they retain their superior social harmony? Of course, it's possible, but totalitarianism (censorship, cultural cleansing, etc) is far from irrelevant.

And what about their ability to rapidly implement strategic policy initiatives, including displacing massive numbers of people against their will? Unfortunate for the individuals, but incredibly beneficial for the group, compounding over time.
I have learned to read both slower and faster. The trick is that you can use both in the same session, and for many materials, this is by far the best approach.

My comprehension went up massively when I started reading out loud in the evenings, despite how childish it feels sometimes. I noticed I got a lot more out of audio than text (I tend to read too fast and not let things sink in), so I started recording my own audio for on the go.

I realized while doing this that reading out loud works great for me
because it forces each word to sink in, rather than rushing ahead as was my habit.

Another thing I learned from listening to audio is, I come back to it many times, so I end up "reading" the same books sometimes dozens of times. And this is precisely what is at the core of many speed reading systems: multiple exposure.

Scott dismisses "read as fast as you flip the pages" courses. It's important to clarify this. This is actually his first tip later in the article, "Skim before you read!" The difference is, beyond just a skim and a read phase, there is an extra "photo-read" phase added on the front.

Have you ever opened a page, and a word or passage jumps out at you, visually? The word "sex" for example, has just such an effect. The idea here is you must read with purpose, with intention, with questions, and if you do, then while you are scanning the book with your eyes, you are building a map of the material, so when you come back to it later, you will remember where to look to find what you need.

In many cases, a book is large and we are only interested in a small fraction of the material. This is the case for most textbooks and their exams, or for a personal project only some aspects will be necessary to extract. The multi-pass approach to reading allows you to locate everything you need, learn where it is, ask questions and keep coming back to it as needed.

Reading slower to build comprehension when you need it can integrate perfectly well with this nonlinear approach: you find what you need faster, and then you give it all your concentration, making sure you understand each part before continuing.

(Of course, this will give rise to yet further questions you can explore the rest of the text with! :)

He could just add the windows binary to the github releases[0] and link to that though. I'm not sure if linking directly to the binary will cause similar problems, but he can at least publish the binary and link to the latest release.

Not OP, and not necessarily endorsing these specific topics as most fundamental to a CS education (I've more often drawn on discrete math/symbolic logic) but 3Blue1Brown has great series on introductory linear algebra and calculus. And Symbols, Signals, and Noise: An Introduction to Information Theory by John Pierce is also good.

My own view echoes this (https://meaningness.com/metablog/how-to-think), which is that it's often useful to know a little about a lot of different kinds of math. That way you'll set yourself up to notice when and where some specific discipline might apply, then you can go back and learn the details if you need to.
My new years resolution might just be to gain mastery of ffmpeg. It's incredibly versitile. Combine with python bindings, image magick and opencv and you have a powerful weapon in your arsenal.

But I keep running out of memory. I like that the process just dies. And can usually be solved by sequential batching. But how can I automate via predictive instrumentation?
> This person appears to be spending half of their income on charitable donations every year, though, which is admirable but not a smart financial decision.

The number of people in the world without sufficient food, clean water, basic medical care, and other human necessities is far too high. As someone lucky enough to be paid as well as I am, if I didn't try to do something about this I don't think I could live with myself.

Donating 50% is clearly not the financial choice that will leave us with the most money, but that's not my main goal.

A solution on Windows might be to make it available through the Microsoft Store. The whole process of authentication is free and the download and installation bypasses the browser.

I understand it is an awful solution. But, like in politics, sometimes an awful solution might be your less bad choice.
I think you've mis-parsed.

The algorithm itself (as opposed to the independent channels) is "with [a] slant towards left-leaning or politically neutral channels." i.e, it recommends channels which are slightly left-of-center.
I'm afraid that this comment is not the pinnacle of intelligence that you think it is. But for people who come by and want to know why this dark matter suggestion is fundamentally ill-informed and wrong:

Dark matter isn't merely "not bright" matter, it is matter which does not interact with electromagnetic radiation. It is generally expected that the vast majority is non-baryonic, for a variety of reasons.

The observed density of all matter in the universe is about 30% of the universe's critical density, but Big Bang nucleosynthesis results readable in the cosmic microwave background show much less helium and lithium than you would expect if it were baryonic — it is safe to say that baryonic matter is only 5% of the critical density. Moreover, small dense objects (black holes) would produce gravitational micro-lensing effects which aren't present, while more diffuse objects would affect the absorption spectra of light.

And finally, the observed distribution of dark matter in the universe just ... sorta makes it a rather poor candidate for war debris.
Growing up, I had multiple friends die from brain aneurysms. Those start with a bad headache.

That has lead to me avoiding all medicines every time I get a headache (yes, I understand correlation is not causation).

My primary route to solve any headache is hydration. Adding electrolytes is also important because too much water without them can also give you a headache.

My experience has also lead me to focus on consuming the healthiest diet I can find (currently intermittent fasting + keto with intermittent-vegan weeks, mostly organic, with all nutrients from food sources).

On the other hand, my mother, who could convince the majority she's healthy based on her weight and latest diet buzzwords, has had migraines for the past 30 years, maybe longer — even landing her in the hospital on many occasions.

A migraine is your body telling you something is wrong with your most valuable asset.

Are you sure you want to sweep this problem under the rug?

There is a documentary on Amazon called "Fat". It illustrates how many children with epilepsy were harmed by the combination of 1. lack of understanding food and 2. pharmaceuticals with side effects that render them permanently disabled.

Good luck with your search for health and wellbeing.
I don't entirely understand the linked chart here.

But best I can make of it, has 1/4 the # of impressions as MSM and almost half the impressions for either partisan left or right.

This is a minor issue that is showing impression numbers the equivalent of entire media organizations. How is this evidence that Youtube's algorithm does not promote radicalized content?
I recently came across the crossfeed concept. I think it does make the sound in headphones much better. It seems to be a very simple and natural thing to use, so why isn't it more popular?
Again, a programming paradigm is like code formatting rules or ide choice. It's a matter of taste. Saying one is an error is just reenacting vim vs emacs. It goes nowhere.
It feels to me like I fell into programming, like it just happened that I graduated college with a skill that was highly in demand. But how did I end up here? Because of my race and gender people were more likely to see me as a potential engineer and take my efforts seriously. Because my parents could afford a computer in the 1980s there was one around for me to learn on. Because they could afford good schooling for me there were classes where I could practice this skill and study the theory behind it. It's hard to know the chain of causality that led to me getting into programming, but it's substantially less likely that I'd be here if I'd not had these advantages along the way.

If you think of privilege as something you have that makes you a bad person, if you know the word and know it applies to you but you try to hide and dismiss your privilege, to find axes along which you have less of it, that's only marginally more helpful than if you were to deny your privilege entirely and insist that all your accomplishments in life have been due to your efforts alone. Having privilege puts you in position where you have an outsized ability to effect change. The best response to privilege is to turn it to fixing the situation that led you to having these major advantages over others.

If I look at my situation, my race, class, and gender privilege have been helpful, but my nationality privilege is by far my biggest unearned advantage. Someone at the poverty line in the US earns more than 90% of people in the world, even after adjusting for money going farther in poorer countries. This is not to minimize the suffering of people in the US, along any dimension, but to illustrate the extent of the problem and the work required. With so much need, how could I possibly justify keeping my luck to myself?

So I earn to give. I can't reject my privilege, I can't give it back, the best I can do is use it to give back.

I heard a lot of it was because of how bland the characters and writing were.
Sometimes but usually I think the primary factor is the personality of the junior engineers. I think to be successful you have to like learning independently and have a good work ethic. Most places don't have strong mentoring programs and as you mentioned some programmers won't mentor for whatever reason
Went through the whole trilogy this year and it was one of the best book experiences i ever had.

I am now reading Revelation Space.

Do you have any book suggestions like the Three Body Problem? What I liked about it was the attention to detail to science and the fact that it was recently written meaning most of the scientific facts stated in the book are not outdated or disproved.
>OTOH, any world that was inhabited by aliens would, besides within a very narrow time frame, either have advanced to a state where their world would, for sure, be unrecognizable by us, or have destroyed themselves to such an extent that we would never have known they were there.

Why? It's entirely possible (also for us) that scientific and technological advancement plateaus. You get the early hanging fruit and a progress that looks like an exponential curve but turns out to be more like a sigmoid, as more advanced inventions get harder to reason for a human level intelligence, require too much energy, need resources that are depletable (minerals etc), are too complex to manufacture, etc.

So there wont be any logical necessity for "a state where their world would, for sure, be unrecognizable by us".

Nor it's required that they would "have destroyed themselves".

>Typically human hubris, why can't we recognize the most logical explanation for so much dark matter? The wreckage and debris of a great alien war.

Black matter has some physical properties. It's not just garbage we can't identify.

Also how is a "great alien war" the "most logical" explanation for black matter?
I assume the OP isn't talking about beauty.
Qr code readers show you the url, you have push a button to navigate to it. So it's no different than having it copied manually.

Not that it matters much for most users, as I said earlier, they blindly type url. They have no idea what it is.

You could put a warning saying "are you sure, this is going to kill your mother and steal all your money" and people would click on it if it's easy to do.
I’m using https://linear.app. It plans “cycles” for you based on how much you accomplish.
I'm a bit like this, I think. My raw reading speed is decent. But when I'm reading, I'm constantly stopping to flip back and check something, or to stop and think through the implications of what I've just read, or, when the internet is to hand, to look up some related information. As a result, my net reading speed is diabolical.

But to me, this isn't about thinking slowly, it's about thinking thoroughly. I think I pick things up from texts that faster readers skate right over.

Of course, I haven't actually measured any of this, so it's probably just comforting nonsense.
Yes, I meant "more choices that are popular" - of those libraries JUnit is the obvious default choice that most people use, unlike in C# where you have NUnit, xUnit and MSTest all enjoying comparable popularity (to each other).

My point is that the Python situation, with two popular choices, is hardly "an eclectic mess". Although strictly speaking it might be true that two choices is twice as eclectically messy as one choice, it's still fewer choices and thus less of a mess than C#'s three choices (and I haven't heard anyone calling that a mess).
Qrafter on iOS has exactly that UI, which is why I use it.
Adverse selection, precisely so. While I'm glad for you and your wife, I can only suspect that her approach is quite uncommon. If it were common it would quickly cease to work as it became general knowledge that all the folks without profile pics are hotties.

I would offer to test and report back but I have been happily out of the dating pool for going on thirteen years with no intention of returning soon. Two advantages to meeting your spouse via IRL social networks: none of this faffing about with profile pictures -- face to face doesn't lie. And you never have to do witty text message banter.
Don’t worry, I’m not _that_ sarcasm-blind. Doesn’t change the feeling that it’s overly hostile to say the same dismissive industry contrapoint but hidden behind “haha it’s funny because I’m saying the opposite of what I actually believe”.
Maybe, but the biggest coal-fired power plant in the world is there for example (look up Taichung Power Plant) and those things aren't known for being clean.
Possibly. I just mentioned that in reply to a seemingly strong logical conclusion that "it must be" twins. Human communication patterns are not very precise and yet we often tend to jump to conclusions.
Yes, that's why I know it's possible.

The type hints work with older Python 3 versions. They just get ignored and mypy can use them. However the type hinting syntax for Python 2 isn't the same. For Python 2 you have to use comments. I don't think there is a way to convert between Python 2 and Python 3. Maybe a good reason to say goodbye to Python 2.
He is saying that he only cares for looks, so he'll go for the less in-demand bios to improve chance of a match.
Serious question: If you're not signing (age does not*), then what is the point of the AEAD STREAM scheme? By definition, nothing is authenticated, right?
Yes, this is one of the problems: many schools are letting in students who are unlikely to succeed without extra help, and not providing that help.

Many students who enter college lack the prerequisite knowledge to complete even introductory college classes, and are placed in remedial classes. These classes don't count for college credit, but cost the same as college classes there's a limited pool of financial aid available to a student, and typically this pool is smaller for remedial students, who are less likely to qualify for merit-based aid. The results are devastating: only 9.5% of remedial students graduate from two year programs within three years, and only 35.1% of remedial students graduate from four year programs within six years.

The name of the character is "Bastard Operator from Hell." He is supposed to be terrible. He's like Cartman.

On the other hand, most of the other characters are also terrible, or incompetent or attempting to be abusive, and that echoes with the experience of many IT people dealing with users. Seeing those fuckers get even a fictional comeuppance is somewhat cathartic.

Bofh is a little further out than, say, thedailywtf, but largely in the same vein. There are so many shitshows and people "faking it until they make it" horror stories floating around.

I wish teens today could experience the glory of the Internet in the 90s. It was an anarchist’s wasteland of data and possibility, and the idea of there even being consequences for anything you might do online seemed absurd.
Kind of related; but can someone give me some advice on what to look for when looking for a remote job? I kind of know what to look for when interviewing with local companies, but how do I know if a company that works remotely is a good fit? How do I know they know how to work remotely effectively?
So if the ads were targeted based on other information they had about you, but _not_ the video watch history, that would be kosher?

Or can it not include targeted ads at all? And how does that compare with cable where the ads are matched with the content by people manually to target demographics who watch certain shows?
Sure but then the savings reference breaks down. Bonds and corporate bonds in particular shouldn't be considered "savings" because the money is being circulated. I am sure everybody has a different definition but in the "global savings glut" phenomenon those savings shouldn't include bonds?

Users rightfully don't care about protocols. They care about features I listed (and a few others).

That's the main reason IRC and XMPP more-or-less lost the chat wars (and they lost the mobile specifically due to protocols).
