Pretty ingenious, tbh. Though I'm a bit concerned about how much you end up handling energized plugs.
>Snooping ISPs, public IP, and geoblocking are not prevented by a VPN server in your home network

It really depends...

If you are connecting to that VPN from remote location it does. Whatever is your actual physical location your IP will appear to be your home IP.

Geoblocking might also be solved if you happen to be in a country that has the content blocked while your home location can access that content.

However, as you pointed out, making a VPN accessible from outside is not covered.
I think all of these "personality tests" are total BS -- while it's great to think you can tl;dr a person, in reality we're far more complicated than that. When you make assumptions about a person's "personality color" or Meyers-Briggs profile, you disempower them from making their own decisions.

As adults mature, we all learn to be comfortable with a range of communication styles. This kind of pop psychology may be comforting and in some ways holds some element of truth, but the entire idea that a "personality" is fixed in any way dismisses the potential for growth that makes us all so human.
Job 1: Lucky to find a job during the recession at an aerospace consultancy which let me learn a lot but after 4 years without a raise I was looking for more money!

Job 2: I enjoyed the project, my team, and the salary was good, but corporate politics eventually killed the project and split up the team. I took a lateral move to a new company.

Job 3: Currently at a smaller company recently acquired, so everything is in flux.

When I am looking for a new job I am not just looking at the current salary but career growth and hoping to get in a strong industry. Right now industrial is a tough industry.
Just charge for the game. Most of the games listed here are $2-$5 dollars.

I imagine the lowest-bullshit way to sustain an MMO would be a normal subscription. Though I'm not sure this is the list for you, regardless.
Been there done that. One great feature I ran across was that the intel compiler has a #pragma incantation that enables many checks on a per-file basis. This lets you create new code and selectively fix old code without these obvious defects.
This is a pretty niche area, "enterprise" would be generous to call these customers that even if it technically fits. It's a surprisingly small ask to have them install a browser.

I applied to Volvo when looking for graduate schemes in my final year of university and recall having to complete a personality test there. I'm not sure whether or not that particular test corresponded to the referenced 'method', however it was a series of very arbitrary statements that one had to either agree or disagree with.

None of them seemed particularly useful for determining my aptitude as a software engineer or professionalism more generally. I can still recall this statement, verbatim, which I believe I stated I agreed with:

Hi.

$10/month for a B2B product is very very low and companies don't sell $10/month products with sales people. It won't cover the cost of a sales person's time, or ads for that matter. If it costs $100 to get a client, you need them to stick for 10 months before you make anything. With an 8 month runway, your math won't work. It only works if you have great "free" inbound marketing and the time to wait. That's Netflix level pricing, where they have millions of clients and had the funding to cover initial losses while growing the user base.

My first advice is to raise your price! Either that or you need millions in funding to build a marketing campaign and to have the runway to wait until the CAC is covered. I would 10x your price at least, and then offer early adopter discounts to clients who pay for a year now, not when the product is ready, with extra off if they prepay for two years. Then each sale pays you enough to do some development and get the next sale, as opposed to paying you enough to eat at McDonalds once a month.

Also, list yourself on Sploda.com (no association) and update your profile every time something happens, so they start seeing progress.

It’s probably using some kind of exploit to upload a custom ramdisk (similar to jailbreaks). Except, unlike jailbreaks, it doesn’t jailbreak the device, but instead tests the passwords.

What’s also interesting is that the Secure Enclave (which holds the encryption key) is supposed to enforce the 10 password limit, so they’re doing something really clever here.

It's a nice sentiment. Time will tell how that turns out.
> ...on the small side at 2600 sqft...

That's actually large by many standards across the world but also for older urban dwellings in US cities. I suspect those 2600+ ft^2 numbers are average sizes for new construction?

For whatever reason, new construction of single family homes consists almost entirely of structural wood framing and plywood, then tyvek and non-structural brick facade. That kind of construction makes building larger volumes feasible. I don't know when the change-over in the USA from structural brick to wood occured, but I suspect it was in the 50-60's. In old urban neighborhoods in the North East, 2500+ ft^2 is definitely considered "big".

Unfortunately, I doubt that modern wood frame homes will last 100+ years without serious interventions. Brick also deteriorates, but more slowly and it's possible to work on it piecemeal.
glad to know I am not alone. thanks for the suggestions
> Most blogs seem to suggest that in order to raise a seed round you need around $100k in ARR

This isn't true at all, even in Europe! Companies regularly raise seed rounds on significantly less progress than an MVP + 5 pilot agreements 4 months in, so if you want to raise some money, don't let the advice from these blogs stop you.

I've just gone through the process of raising a seed/pre-seed from a mix of both US and EU investors — happy to chat about the experience if you're interested: taimurabdaal@gmail.com

Also, as everyone else has said — charge more!
I don't disagree but it also seems as if there's also been an ongoing shift over the past decades away from local hills with minimal facilities/snowmaking/rope tows towards big mountains with high speed chairs/gondolas/lots of snowmaking.

Some of that may be that the local hills have gotten incrementally worse because of reduced snow (or at least more bad snow years). But it also feels as if downhill skiing has become more of a destination activity. (And many of the big areas have also invested heavily in real estate.)
These types of things may not be science, but they are so popular and will always be popular because they are useful heuristics to make sense of the chaos of dealing with humans.
How is it in any way relevant to OP's project being shown?
I've previously done some filtering based on whether a game was a PC port. It's much harder to add BS into a game with solid fundamentals, so I expect much more from ports of the Supergiant games, dead cells, oxenfree, etc than games that were created to be native mobile titles.

The flipside is that those games might have awkward controls or performance issues or not be well suited to short play sessions. But it might be interesting to have a column linking to the Steam page for games that were ported in either direction.

You need to think about this a bit more: biometrics are bad if you pass them over the network where an attacker can replay them but it's different in a local context where they never leave the device. You get a high-entropy key and an attacker who can get both your device and a sufficiently high-quality biometric scan can also simply do things like like you in a room until you unlock the device. That seems like a reasonable compromise.

I personally believe that forests provide a net positive in terms of CO2 scrubbing regardless of decay/decomposition. The only evidence I'd offer is a time lapsed NASA video[0] showing CO2 emissions heatmap over time. The areas like the Amazon clear up the CO2 on a daily and seasonal basis. The areas where forests are impossible like the Arctic, it does not. The sun drives the cyclical "heartbeat" effect you see from day to day on the video, where plants using photosynthesis in the day (and macroscopically, the summer) effects the intensity of scrubbing moreso.

Also, maybe it is my mind's desire to simplify of all of it, but it was eye opening for me, and seemed obvious upon seeing that video, that forests were the key player in air management globally, and industrialized nations were the main drivers behind CO2 production in the air globally.

Just like the electoral college, party nominations have also been failing to reflect the wishes of the people. Mainstream "journalism" is complicit in advertising the views of the incumbents who pay their salaries while misrepresenting, ignoring, and slandering any opponents.

Of course it is highly unlikely that it interfaces with the password screen. My point is that if you could extract a hash from the secure enclave it would make much more sense to brute force it on a powerful external cluster. However this seems not to be possible as the decryption is only possible inside the secure enclave element unique to the device, thus decryption attempts have to be done on the the device itself, GrayKey seems to have managed to circumvent the wrong attempts counter and/or the triggering of subsequent protection mechanisms.
That's exactly what TFA is about ;)

As an American it’s a little reassuring to know that despite some economic advantages, the Swedes are also just a bunch of easily impressionable idiots.
what a silly excuse for being offended by nothing.

Solved: Why Poor States Are Red And Rich States Are Blue
Blue states, like California, New York and Illinois, whose economies turn on finance, trade and knowledge, are generally richer than red states.

Red state economies based on energy extraction, agriculture and suburban sprawl may have lower wages, higher poverty rates and lower levels of education on average than those of blue states - but their residents also benefit from much lower costs of living.

The red states aren't in fact poorer than the blue states.

For blue state urbanites who toil in low-paying retail, food preparation and service jobs, for the journeyman tradespeople who once formed the heart of the middle class, for teachers, civil servants, students and young families, the American dream of homeownership - or even an affordable rental apartment - is increasingly out of reach.

Many are opting to move to cheaper red states instead, further driving their growth.

Restrictive zoning is very much more common in those blue states than it is in the red.

Meaning that by artificially pushing up the cost of housing those blue states are indeed making life worse for the poor.
I generally agree with the point you're making, but to be fair, there are plenty of 200-year-old houses in my neighborhood in the U.S., and few younger than 100. And unlike the canal houses in Amsterdam, all were originally built as residential structures rather than commercial, which I think speaks even more highly to their ratio of craftsmanship per cost.

In our case, however, we're lucky not to be sitting on top of a swamp!
I will consider starting to blog.. It has been a thought for a while now but it may be time to start. Thanks!
Once you're in the court system of most any country, what things you legally can and can't do are a lot harder to enforce. You're essentially needing to fight a well-trained opponent on their home turf with biased referees and no real downside to them for cheating.

I'd imagine neither of your examples could or would happen given the power Apple and Martin's representatives have, and how absurd forcing someone to write a book as part of a court decision would be, but I'm fairly sure you could find examples of relatively similar things. I could certainly see something like a contract-related case being resolved by essentially legally compelling someone to write a book that they said they'd write, or else be fined/imprisoned.
In some countries realtors can claim that because you contacted them first about the property, that they get the comission on the property regardless if you continued to use their services or not. I guess this is to avoid situation where realtor connects the buyer with the seller only for them to decide to cut the realtor out and sell without the comission. This gives a big incentive to realtor to hide the location so you cannot contact the seller yourself, and they usually ask you to sign documents where you agree to this practice before they take you to see the property.
Thank you!

I had something similar before but people complained that they lost their place when clicking on apps to go to the store. Maybe that's fine now that they open in a new tab, I'll rethink that.

The `repr(C)` ABI is stable.

There is a trade-off between "provide types a stable layout" (required for a stable ABI) and "optimize my program as much as possible" (e.g. change type-layout using profile-guided optimization to put hot fields inside the same cacheline).

In Rust, if you want to give a type a stable ABI, you just need to stamp `#[repr(C)]` on it. Otherwise, you get optimizations by default.

The amount of types and functions in a code-base is usually much larger than its surface API, and this decision balances optimizing properly, while still providing a stable API.
This is essentially mouse vs touch screen.
I think a big part of it is that corporate HR types are trying to turn people into interchangeable cogs in the machine. But this ignores the richness of our experience -- even if the color model were both static and true, I'm willing to guess that the expression of those characteristics would vary widely from person to person.

Better to just get to know people individually and talk to them about their desires, capabilities and needs. But I guess that takes too much time in the corporate world, so we classify people by color (and I suspect it also sells a lot of books).
It might be then the definition of the NoBullshit. It's pretty extremist in the OP website. If there is ingame currency, then it's bullshit. If there is IAP then it's bullshit. If there is ads then it's bullshit.
Not as extreme as the comment above, but snowfall in Washington DC has been steadily declining for the last 150 years. From averaging ~22"/year in the late 1880s to ~15" year over the last decade. That decline is despite several very high snowfall years during the last decade, meaning we're having less frequent snow events, but when we do have them, they're big (for DC).
Yeah, but I'd probably go back to Plasma Physics research or BCIs or something.

My uncle had a hotel at the north edge of the alps. Bought it around 40 years ago. At that time they had skiing throughout winter and it was the biggest money maker. They also had a women's world cup race every year. This lasted for a few years, then they cancelled the race because of lack of snow. By now all ski lifts are closed in the winter. Some of them are used in summer. There is a also a ski jump facility next to his town. Also closed for years now. A lot of hotels have gone bankrupt including my uncle's.

Great comment and even better concept.
The title is actually wrong - the -O0 version is correct, the -O3 version is not (despite giving the output the author expected).

Casting the value to double ends up converting the long value 0x7fffffffffffffff to the nearest double value: 0x8000000000000000. As the -O0 version CORRECTLY reports, this does not round-trip back to the same value in the "long" type. Many other values, though not all, down to about 1/1024 of that value (1 / 2^(63-53)) will also fail to round-trip for similar reasons.

Unless my coffee-deficient brain is missing something at the moment, it should be the case that any integer with 53 bits or fewer between the first and last 1 bit (inclusive) will roundtrip cleanly. Any other integer will not.

Edit: fixed a typo above, and coded up the idea I expected to work and ran it through quickcheck for a few min, and this version seems to be correct ('int' return rather than bool is just because haskell's ffi doesn't natively support C99 bool):

#include <limits.h>

int fits(long x) {
if (x == LONG_MIN) return 0;

unsigned long ux = x < 0 ? -x : x;
while (ux > 0x1fffffffffffffUL && !(ux & 1)) {
ux /= 2;
}

return ux <= 0x1fffffffffffffUL;
}
Honestly, I wouldn't mind ads if they weren't so obtrusive. a simple ad on a loading screen isn't the end of the world to me. What's annoying is trying to tap a tiny 'x', unskippable video ads, ads that try to fingerprint my device, ads that slow down my machine, ads with volume, time limiting play unless you buy an IAP (when there's no option for just buying unlimited time for a reasonable price)
