>Who do you think you're fooling? God, apparently.

If you believe that the Torah is the literal and infallible word of god, then any apparent loopholes must be intentional - indeed, to believe otherwise would be tantamount to blasphemy. Who are you to try and second-guess God's intentions when his words are right there in black and white?

Personally, I find these creative interpretations of Jewish religious law to be an endless source of fascination. It speaks to a vibrant, conscious engagement with religious practice rather than the mindless observation of old rites. It might seem weird, but there's absolutely nothing careless or half-assed about it. The immense scholarly effort to figure out whether (for instance) an electric shaver is kosher is itself an act of deep religious devotion.

Except, that it is not really zero configuration and you still have to figure out some settings for getting source maps to be referenced correctly.

It is blazing fast though and much less a pain to set up than webpack. Every time I have to touch webpack configurations I think: "Oh no, not that stuff again ..." and it will take time to get it exactly the way I want or even requires to load additional helper modules from NPM. Ugh.
It's explained in the article:

Vienna has one as well. You can monitor if it's functional online: http://eruv.at/ — it's being checked every week.
My sister works in the NHS. It's all smartcard based. Also kerberos could achieve the same as NTLM for SSO and is more secure, and less complicated in multi-domain setups, since the client does all the hard work rather than servers having to contact remote DCs themselves.
I have plenty of other things to do with my free time that don’t involve computers. If I’m going to spend time on a side project, it’s only going to either be to make money from the project or learn something that someone will pay me for.
If I were you, I would stay at Google but try a different type of SWE. Like switching to mobile or something.
I'm going heavy in to a container first / cloud native workflow this year, mixing a few existing tools I know (Consul, Terraform, Prometheus, Grafana) with some new ones: NATS Streaming, Nomad, Vault, Loki, Drone and minio.

Also want to get good at Makefiles (and play around with jsonnet if I have time).
There needs to be common base runtime capable of complex types, objects, runtime redefinition support, exception handling etc.

Languages can vary on top of that.

Can someone ELI5 how a separate process would fix Spectre/Meltdown?
Yes, for me I find it a waste of time. That's a personal choice. I read comic books if I have extra time, which I enjoy. And just to be clear, I loved the book Frankenstein and it had a profound effect on my life. I just never had any incentive after that to read another fiction book.
Most gas stations seem offensive and predatory in the items they offer customers. I understand freedom of choice and business models but the entire system is plagued by unhealthy and potentially dangerous products (eg random herbal supplements, synthetic cannabinoids etc). And more than half of gas stations in major cities don’t have bathrooms (people abuse them obviously). And the workers are often underpaid.

Verse a system that offers fair pricing, healthy options, positive re-enforcement, incentivizes public facing employees to learn CPR and first aid, paying higher wages to help upward mobility and savings, creating a place for community interaction.

Nope, it’s just sugar, cigarettes, “rhino” pills, alcohol, mistreated underpaid employees living a fraction of their potential, dirtiness and no bathrooms.
If a majority of humans would agree on a date format, I might agree with you. But they don't.
What exactly is the threat model in which blocking all Konqueror users is a reasonable thing to do?
People should know that that power exists though. It should be available even if it's not always needed.
To be fair, it takes 7.5 years to study the entirety of the Talmud doing one two sided page a day for about an hour...and this barely scratches the surface... to have an opinion of religion without putting in the effort is equally as ludicrous and meaningless.
From a user's perspective it "solves it" because you already have to trust the browsers security.

Or in other words torrenting becomes no worse than everything else you do.
A key point is that he gets a reliable stream of motivated immigrant labor to take good care of his stations. Normal owners who hire american teenagers will get worse results. This is why Shell is giving him the red carpet treatment to acquire underperforming gas stations.
If you can not only survive at Google but slack along well enough to get promoted once on "10% of your mental capacity" I'd stay right where you are. You aren't going to find a better place to earn money for equivalent effort and it sounds like you've already adapted to the ecosystem. Sounds like you need an interesting side project or just a meaningful hobby.

Don't go looking for the missing sense of fulfillment you have at work, either for Google or any other company. Crack some classic literature and take some long walks, figure out what you haven't been doing.
Context helps. It isn't a trivial datam. S/Google/Army/g the responses would vary wildly regarding the military industrial complex, impact of contributing to it, etc.
Plenty of cars do have religious symbols on or in them, e.g. crosses dangling from rearview mirrors, and that's more noticeable to a pedestrian than the eruv.

It's freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.
How Tube stations got their unusual names (2017)
There is a line of string near my house that I always wondered if it was an eruv. So I did some research today and it turns out it is, and that it is fairly recent too!

Interestingly, it appears that mountains and buildings can also count as part of the border, in addition to the string.
This benchmark runs 32 software threads on a machine with 8 CPU threads. Getting preempted a lot is a major part of what's being measured. But samples that got preempted at exactly the wrong spot need to be filtered out, which is tricky.
This kind of false attribution is how we got a market full of "low fat" foods packed with sugar. It seems like "don't eat too much sugar" should be a harmless, practical abstraction, but people will go off and eat a diet that still leads to type 2 diabetes while avoiding obvious sugars. And missing non-obvious ones.

For example: A "healthy" serving of plain corn flakes with a serving of plain milk has lots of sugar in it. Foods can have low added sugar, or low some-kind-of sugar, and still lead to type 2 diabetes. Focusing on sugar will lead to the same health disaster that came from focusing on salt or fat.
What about compiling to native executables using GraalVM? Doesn't remove Oracle from the equation, of course.
I agree and that’s what the Lisp machines did brilliantly. In it’s current incarnation, and Turing yadda yadda aside, you wouldn’t be able to do what you can on the Lisp machine if you’re starting with C.
Oh there’s definitely graphic sex in TMS. And graphic violence is like one quarter of See (plus a little bit of graphic sex). There’s no lack of either on TV+, judging from the two shows I’ve watched so far. (I’ll probably binge For All Mankind soonish.)
Third- for an analysis project, I had to look ahead to the next transaction. Tried a bunch of implementations, ranging from offset self joins to iterators to recursion.

Turns out the fastest and simplest solution, by far, was a mix of window functions and CTEs directly in the database.
> There is no “long term” in technology.

Yes there is, computer science concepts like algorithms, pointers, ... exist for a very long time. General programming language principles and paradigms are reusable in other languages and libraries. Database principles and languages like SQL exist for a very long time. HTTP exists for a very long time. etc...

If you know enough of those long standing principles, you can use "framework of the week" in its week without much big deal, or ignore framework of the week and use/create whatever will solve your problem the most efficiently now.
I love that we've gotten down to the point we're no longer even pretending that we're going to consolidate the mess that is the NHS IT system. Much better that we just make sure it's easy to log in to the 57 different services than to actually rationalise the systems in the first place.
Honestly, if I were you I'd just keep chugging along and collect as much money as possible. Start investing, and make yourself financially independent. After that, you can quit and do whatever you want.

The linked medium article is 2017, should probably be noted in the post. Seems the editor is not available for download in 2020. One of their criteria is a little questionable:

> Has a design that doesn’t feel like an afterthought

Of course, who is going to want a design that feels like an afterthought? But, this doesn't define what they do want, just what they don't.
This seems like a recipe for success that can be applied in some east european countries still lagging behind the rest of the eu: take old and run down shop in areas with a good potential, provide kick ass services and improve the look and feel of things.
That explains the difference between Type 1 and Type 2. I made sure to be clear which type I was talking about though.
If I have said that God is essentially human in His creative work, then I'm certain you could line up rabbis on either side.
Heartbreak often lasts longer than 2 months. It's not necessarily a medical condition though. Counseling can help, but also more time helps too.
> Some companies will give very large out of band bonuses to people, but that work wasn't for a company that does a lot of that kind of thing, so there's nothing the company could do to indicate that it valued additional work once someone did "enough" work to get the best possible rating on a performance review. From a mechanism design point of view, the company was basically asking employees to stop working once they did "enough" work for the year.

> This also happened in another way. As is common at a lot of companies, managers were given a team-wide budget for raises that was mainly a function of headcount, that was then doled out to team members in a zero-sum way. Unfortunately for each team member (at least in terms of compensation), the team pretty much only had productive engineers, meaning that no one was going to do particularly well in the zero-sum raise game. The team had very low turnover because people like working with good co-workers, but the company was applying one the biggest levers it has, compensation, to try to get people to leave the team and join less effective teams

are pretty important points to note.

Accepting that organizations are incentivized to extract the maximum amount of value from you means you should be:
1. Aware of the value you produce
2. Know how to sell it

This also comes up during promotion season in places that require that you perform at 50%+ of the next "level" to be eligible for a promotion. The unsaid part is that you will be under compensated for that 50% "next level" and when the promo comes, you'll be at the bottom of the comp band at the new level (no wonder people tend to quite shortly after a large promotion)

If you have diabetes you crave sweets due to having diabetes. Sugar doesn't cause diabetes.

You eat food because you are hungry. Food doesn't not cause hunger.
Interesting. A Win32 CriticalSection is also a two step primitive that spins for a short amount of time and then yielda to the system scheduler.

It would be interesting to see a distribution of wait time per lock for different locks. If such a two step approach performs well, a hypothesis might be that there are three kinds of locks:

- mostly uncontended: lock succeeds without spinning

- held for exceptionally short amounts of time: lock usually gets released again before waiting thread on different CPU stops spinning. Wait time is lower than the time it takes to yield to the scheduler and/or reschedule.

- held for a really long time: wait time is much longer than scheduling another thread and re-scheduling the initial one.

And what you are saying seems to indicate that optimizing for the first and second one is worth it because the overhead is negligible for the third type, that is, there are few locks that are held for an amount of time so that spinning adds noticable overhead.
Ta Shma

"In frustration, Rabbi Eliezer finally cries out, "If the halakha is in accordance with my opinion, Heaven will prove it." From Heaven a voice is heard, saying, "Why are you differing with Rabbi Eliezer, as the halakha is in accordance with his opinion in every place that he expresses an opinion?" Rabbi Joshua responds, "It [the Torah] is not in heaven" (Deuteronomy 30:12). He responds in this way because the Torah, which was given by God to mankind at Sinai, specifically instructs those who follow it that they are to look to the received Torah as their source and guide. The Torah says, "It is not in heaven, that you should say, 'Who will go up to heaven for us, and get it for us so that we may hear it and observe it?' Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, 'Who will cross to the other side of the sea for us, and get it for us so that we may hear it and observe it?' No, the word is very near to you; it is in your mouth and in your heart for you to observe" (Deuteronomy 30:12-14).

Rabbi Joshua's response then expresses the view that the work of law is a work of human activity, and that the Torah itself supports this legal theory. The Torah is not a document of mystery which must have its innate meaning revealed by a minority, but it is instead a document from which law must be created through the human activity of debate and consensus. Rabbinic literature was capable of recognizing differing opinions as having a degree of legitimacy (Yer. Ber. 3b), yet the community remains united and the ruling which is ultimately followed comes through proper jurisprudence. As such, Rabbi Eliezer's miraculous appeals represent a differing legal theory and were outside of proper jurisprudence which meant that they would not be followed. Instead the Jewish community followed the ruling of the majority in this issue and in others. The Talmud asks how God responded to this incident. We are told that upon hearing Rabbi Joshua's response, God smiled and stated, "My children have triumphed over Me; My children have triumphed over Me.""

John Cleese videos, esp. "Creativity in Management" on YouTube

"The Creative Habit"

"Creativity: Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention"

If you really take it to heart, though, the Cleese video is all you need. Creativity in my mind falls into the category of "simple but not easy": you only have to do a few things, but they require hard work and thought.

1. Create time and space. Easier said than done if you have a busy life and people who expect things from you. You need to make a quiet place you go where you are not interrupted for a specific period of time. There you think, imagine, focus on your goal and work.

2. Mental clarity / confidence to play and do something not "serious." Creativity requires a playful mindset and the confidence to overcome your self-doubts and fears. Again easier said than done.

3. You have to work. Creativity is a cycle of work, examine the thing you made, and come up with more ideas / next steps. If all you do is think and you never actually work, then you might be "creative" but you aren't "creating." Alternatively if you just work and don't step back to think, you're creating but probably not doing it creatively. So you have to get into a cycle of create, observe think; create, observe, think.
Instead of learning a new bespoke technology, How about learning more fundamental, lateral concepts, that potentially could apply across technologies. e.g. https://brilliant.org/
Why not? I think it adds context.
Second this.

Keep slacking at Google. Unless you're ridiculously underpaid -- with a six year tenure -- you're probably in the top 2% in terms of income. You've probably got refreshers that have inflated in value quite handsomely. You're not going to find a better yielding security than your job.

Find something better to do with your time. Figure out what your goals are. Whatever they are, you have the resources. Make it happen!
I don't agree the response is condescending. FOMO is a thing, as well as buzzword-driven development and CV-driven development, and it's pervasiveness generates this false sense of urgency regarding learning new frameworks or technologies, and even creates this false notion that this rat race is a basic requirement to have a career as a software developer.

If anything, this sort of comment is not repeated enough.
That is not the full story of why Walmart Succeed, the Old School walmart (back in Sam Walton's day) was not competing on price, but on Value (Service + Price) and they successed

Walmart of today still competes on more than Price, but it is Convenience + Price. For me this is the ability to get my Oil Change Supplies, my Furnace Filters, a new pair of shoes, a belt and my Groceries all in 1 store, with 1 checkout, and I can get into that store and out of it getting everything I need for 1-2 weeks in under 30-45mins

Often times if I price shopped for every item there are places that are lower in price than Walmart, and some that are higher, but on the whole those minor fluctuations are not worth going to 5 different stores to get the "lowest price"
Right, forgot about A's and B's -- we don't use that grading system over here (although, FWIW, I've seen guidebooks that recommend As, Bs and 1s and 2s, because ABCs is also fine and the 1800s is a thing that has to be distinguished from the 1800s'). There's a lot of regional variation, too, which is inevitable considering that English is used from Brisbane to London and from Alaska to California.

But, seriously, every non-constructed language on Earth has exceptions that you have to memorize along with the rules. English doesn't have that many, and it doesn't have too many rules, either. I'm fluent in two other languages (French and my own), and I'm somewhat familiar with a few more languages of Latin, Slavic and Celtic descent. English is a breeze compared to any of them.
In my orthodox circles, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein was considered to be THE preeminent expert on Jewish law in America and the final voice on tough decisions...and while there are many opinions out there, I cant imagine many orthodox observant rabbi accepting an eruv that he rejected.

> At one point, after getting a promotion and a raise, I computed the ratio of the amount of money my changes made the company vs. my raise and found that my raise was 0.03% of the money that I made the company, only counting easily quantifiable and totally indisuptable impact to the bottom line.

Would profit/revenue sharing help with this?
I dislike this style of writing. There is too much unnecessary build up by a company which boasts about root cause analysis.
As a naturalized citizen of the United States I can tell you with good knowledge that.you have no clue what you're talking about. The Trump administration has made legal family reunions a lot more complex and time consuming than it used to be. Many other issues too that it takes just a little googling or some good faith to discover. That's not even going in the stories of American citizens arrested for speaking a foreign language and not being released for months.

While I really hope that Nest.js eventually succeeds and provides a reliable framework to write maintainable web applications, my experience with it has been, in a word, frustrating. I find the integration with remaining ecosystem (testing, databases, etc.) quite poor.

For context, these are my experiences from the last few months of using Nest.js in a project we're working on at my company.

- It strongly encourages you to use TypeORM, which is just not production ready and has many (sometimes subtle) issues [1]

- Logging is often extremely bad. I've encountered issues where I made a mistake in my app bootstrapping code and there were no errors logged, but the application simply didn't start. Then I had to play a very frustrating game of commenting out pieces of code until the application would start again

- Nest.js error classes (HttpException and those that inherit from it, such as BadRequestException) do not properly inherit from built-in Error, which means that when your tests fail, the only output you'll get is "Error: [Object object]" printed to the console without a proper stack trace.

- We used their GraphQL module and when we tried to send a few MB of data to the client for initial state, memory usage would balloon to hundreds(!) of megabytes from a single request.

- Misconfiguring any part of GraphQL would again lead to an error being thrown somewhere inside their libraries, with a message like "Cannot read propery 'target' of undefined" with no stack trace or any indication of where the problem might be

- Documentation is lacking and doesn't do a proper job of documenting the features. Usually it's just a hello-world style example without much depth

That's just my experience, maybe I was just "using it wrong". But it was definitely far from a smooth experience and lead me to waste countless hours trying to track down and fix obscure issues.

If you're thinking about using Nest.js, I would recommend that you ditch TypeORM and use something else, I also wouldn't recommend using GraphQL with Nest.

You say breaking compatibility between major versions is a reason to avoid something (eg Laravel), but also say you choose PHP and Python despite those languages doing the same thing. Maybe breaking between majors isn't the reason why you don't like Laravel, it just feels like that's the reason.
But if the article is to believed, they are canceling shows because they're too violent.

Can you call something a cliche when it's happening in front of you? Is the assumption that because See got released, that Apple didn't actually censor the other shows mentioned here, and Gizmodo is lying?
