This sums up my issue right here- its one thing if they said that they won't support holographic 8k audio or whatever future thing they come up with, but I can't understand what they would need more memory for in the end devices, when their job since the day I got them, and all I ask them to do until the day I decide to replace them, is take a stream of music, and play it. The "hard" stuff should all be in my sonos app, which is on my ever updating phone.
As a Mormon myself, I will be the first to say that there can and are plenty of Mormons who are not what I would consider tolerant. But on the whole, I think we are relatively tolerant in regards to other faiths and spiritual beliefs, in large part for the reason you state.

I grew up in an area of the country without many Mormons, and was perhaps one of a dozen Mormon kids in a high school of well over a thousand students. I wouldn't say I was ever bullied over my religion in the traditional sense, I found it to be a pretty consistent source of discomfort and a feeling of being an "other". Often it could be innocuous (and often very fruitful) classroom discussions about Mormonism after the subject would come in class and the teacher would discover I was Mormon, and therefore became the focus of the discussion. Other times it would come in the form of other students asking me if I wore funny underwear or if my dad had lots of wives, and usually wasn't hostile in nature but made me feel pretty ostracized or defensive. And unfortunately I would get someone assuring me their pastor said I was going to hell, or accusing me of being in a cult, or offended that I could possibly be a Mormon when Joseph Smith/Brigham Young/Some other church figure said/did X without realizing that being Mormon for many people is as much a part of their cultural makeup and heritage as it is their religious belief, nor did I, an individual Mormon, of high school age, completely understand my own personal views, let alone be able to answer for everything ever uttered in the realm of Mormonism (which still is the case, now that I'm older). I found I bonded quite a bit with the handful of Muslim, Jewish, and Atheist kids as they were also in the minority and felt on the outs at times in my school.

It probably also has to do with the 2 year missions many Mormons serve. It's a very unique and strange experience that opens your eyes to the world in a way that is hard to do otherwise. Because its missionary work people may assume the opposite, but for me, serving as a Mormon missionary in Japan made me realize how much I didn't know about people and the world, and the depth and breadth of human culture and individuality. It made me re-contextualize my beliefs and consider what I truly believed and what I had only been telling myself I believed. I think this is in part the reason why there are a decent number of Mormons who serve missions for two years and then eventually move away from the church. But for those who don't it provides an opportunity to learn about and get to know other spiritual and cultural perspectives that is hard to match.
A very wide variety of things, actually. I have eclectic tastes. But most often, it's programming or electronic-related stuff.
If it goes out you're back to the old methods, but of course you're all rusty on those old methods because you don't normally have to use them.

I've had kids ask me what we did before we had GPS and Google Maps and I tell them that we got lost or turned around a lot more often.
Nice cherry picking, how's this for a quote then:

"However, the New York State Health Department reports the average vaccination rate for measles among the nearly 200 Jewish K-12 schools in Brooklyn — mainly in Borough Park and Williamsburg — is 96%"

To get 60% in a couple schools the rates at the rest of the schools must be pretty near 100%.

I think I might have been in the University of Chicago/Nicholas Epley study mentioned at the end of the article, or at least a very similar study at Booth around that time. When I was an undergrad, volunteering as a guinea pig for studies (especially the ones at Booth) was a good way to make a little money, so I ended up participating in a lot of studies. But its funny to see one that I participated in the wild.

Just guessing, but the "extortion" fee's are likely due to renewing the domain after it has 'expired', during one of the last chance renewal phases.

One could argue that since Google is JUST as happy to take money from scammers for an ad for the keyword WellsFrago as the Registry would be to sell the domain WellsFrago dot com ... I'm not sure either approach is technically safer than the other if you're prone to typos. I think (gasp) bookmarking the important sites you need is the only safe approach.
If you stick to "latest", you pretty much just see chronological ordering of those you follow. Every time you see a toxic tweet, unfolow the person. The world is big enough that you can still have an active and healthy timeline even following these rules. Just like life really.
I use a slightly modified version of this UserScript in TamperMonkey: https://github.com/ZedNaught/blank-promoted-tweets

As an added bonus, the whole number system is base 25 (logical, since there are symbols for 1 - 25), but this is sort of an easter egg that you don't have to know to beat the game. This is hinted at in an English journal that mentions an age numbered "<Riven symbol for 233>rd". If you assume incorrectly that it's base 10, it'd read "98rd", which sounds wrong.

I wonder if they ever playtested a base 25 puzzle and judged it too difficult.

Mate, you are hilarious! From the Wikipedia article you cited:

“ The issue central to the case was whether Microsoft was allowed to bundle its flagship Internet Explorer (IE) web browser software with its Windows operating system.”

So yeah, follow your own advise. Because if you would, you'd find gems like this in the actual court case I cited:

"After trial, the court found Microsoft had violated Section 2 by unlawfully maintaining its monopoly in the market for Intel-compatible PC operating systems (“OSs”) and by unlawfully attempting to monopolize the market for internet browsers, and that it had violated Section 1 by illegally tying its Windows operating system and its Internet Explorer (“IE”) browser."
Definitely a wetware problem.

DDG only just recently added the feature that they show you which terms they ignored… most of the time. This is actually my main problem with DDG (which is my default search engine), that they like to ignore even quotation mark-forced words. My impression is that Google sees "" as an important signal for what you want while DDG sees it as something you probably did by mistake and decides to show you a ton of unrelated results (with the word not even showing up at all), even on the first page. It’s the one thing that annoys me about the otherwise superior search of DDG.

There are definitely some LDS that fall into the trap of taking offense when someone leaves the religion and then don't treat that person well. They take it as a personal slight that someone else is claiming their religion is wrong. Either by actions or in words.

But I have also noticed that many ex-mormons are like vegans. They want to tell everyone about it and preach to everyone else that is still "eating meat". There are also quite a few that are extra sensitive and seem to try to make themselves feel better by bashing their ex-religion and those that are still adherents.

> Not comply with sanitation requirements? Not bother to have fire suppression? No customer washrooms?

I'm laughing. These are all things companies DO in order to cut costs. The most obvious and legal being the washrooms.

I'll admit, most of my points are playing devil's advocate - This regulation has basically zero impact on me, and I don't strongly favor either side.

I don't really want to lose the option to pay in cash (as a customer it can be convenient), but I also don't really buy the arguments being made here for privacy/inequity.

It's entirely possible to buy a preloaded card in the US without an ID (somewhat ironically - this requires using cash in a store and it's not possible to reload afterwards due to KYC, so it's hardly perfect).

It's also arguably not that different to plan out going to the bank to get cash vs planning out buying a prepaid before hitting the stores. And the prepaids make money from the store, not by charging the customer, so it's not any additional financial burden.

Basically - I see these movements as politicians virtue signaling in cities with large wealth disparities.
Keep follows/lists at 50 people or less of which no more than 10 are high volume tweeters. If people turn toxic, either mute them for a week or unfollow them if they keep it up.

It happens where a lot of people just have a bad week and need to rant, but it does get annoying. Doing it this way you won't lose out on insightful stuff they usually post and keeping the lists smaller gives you glimpses into area events or interests without drowning you.

EDIT: Also, add 'unroll' to your mute list.
Yea. I liked Myst, but Riven is where I gave up on the series. I did complete it, but it was a long time ago and I remember giving up on puzzles and looking up a lot of hints.

Also the font for the books in Riven were terrible. I could read all the Myst books. They were relatively short and it was a neat device to learn the story. In Riven, they were painful to read and there were so many books everywhere.

I even bought a copy of Exile used at a bookstore for like $5, but never played more than 10 min of it. I would have liked to have finished the series, but Riven kinda was an example of why the entire 90s/early-2000s adventure game genre (Sierra, LucasArts, etc.) failed. LucasArts probably had the only games that were not over challenging and that could be solved with just time and persistence. Everyone else relied on sales of hint books (and no one wants to use a hint book; you want to figure it out for yourself).

The new era of adventure games fixed a lot of this. Telltale and Quantic Dream used their adventure games more to push story (not a lot of "puzzles" in the traditional sense), but there are others with a decent mix of story and puzzles.

A great example of the two game building attitudes in a single game is Broken Age. The first half: amazing. The puzzles were fun but not over challenging, the story drew you in, the graphics were beautiful and the characters were relatable. Part two: stupid-insane-difficult-terrible puzzles, story went to crap, didn't care what happened.
but it doesn't have to be that way. We're using up barely like 2 or 3 percent of the land in the US. We can simply build more cities and there will be more than enough land for everyone. by artificially keeping people penned into a limited area of land like a bunch of chickens in a crowded chicken pen coupe, we're only hurting ourselves.

The key is:
1) companies first (with tax incentives they'll do or move anywhere).
2) jobs next
3) Where jobs go, people follow.
What a shitty title. The entire article doesn't even contain the word software.
I would rather make a component that takes data as props.

Now make a component on top that runs a network request and injects the network response into it.

Now you have a reusable component independent of the api. Your network function can be tested individually. Your top level component doesn’t need testing as that is the part that would be mocked.

You can now test your actual component without any mocking.

If you need some dummy data to show before the backend team is ready, this is trivial. Guess I’m just not a Big enough mocking fan to ever need a library for what is such a small thing in my experience

> He was kinda furious that he was demoted to doing lowly web development in his first week

My reaction to this depends upon what you told him when you hired him.

If you hired him to do front end development, then, yeah, he's over the line.

If you tell someone that they're going to be working with the chief architect on figuring out the networking substructure and then throw him in with the web monkeys with no advance warning, they have a right to be concerned.

It also depends upon the size of the company. At a big company, I would give zero slack on this--this kind of shenanigan is indicative of a political battle and you need to hold your ground.

At a startup, I'm going to cut you slack if I see everybody is busy and you say "Look, we need you move this pile of crap. Sorry. Someone has to do it, and everyone else is busy. Interesting thing X is coming down the pipe, but right now you are two idle hands. Grab a shovel."
This may be the first comment I've read from someone speaking in favor of general gun ownership that I've upvoted.

Interesting thought, I had not considered the more vs less regulating thing in this way before.

Specifically about gun ownership, perhaps rather than a general allowance or prohibition on gun ownership, maybe it makes sense to allow those that work in rural areas to carry? Or just that you need some sort of license? It's not as if there exist no guns in Europe: there are gun clubs where people go to, uh, shoot I guess? Not even sure. They have a license and can keep all sorts of guns at the club, at home, and (locked away) on the direct way from and to there. Hunters carry hunting guns into the forest. And of course police that brings guns where ever. Edit: Oh, and look at Norwegian gun ownership. While that's hunting guns that are somehow different, they don't seem to have the issues that the USA has with guns there. /edit. So we also just adapt the rules to whatever is practical, it's not an outright ban on anything with gunpowder.

From what I read about research/statistics on general population gun ownership, generally it's better not to allow it, but that does not mean I can't understand that you carry one in your situation or that I think there shouldn't be an exception for that.

> I'm constantly faced with disdain from urban folks who like to insinuate that rural people are just stupid and ignorant.

I was thinking about this a bit, trying to figure out if I may have that bias as well. Sure, those who work with their hands are typically less educated, but generally working in a rural area (without saying whether you work some physical labor job)... for all I know it's a high tech job building wind turbines or whatever. But then, I guess we don't have so many "rural people" so I wouldn't know it from real life. I do know of the stereotype from books that have "backwards villages".

Some interesting thoughts, thanks for sharing!
I have no data, just a guess based on my understanding of cultural history, but I have to imagine that many churches in the US have been segregated at the local level and often de facto, rather than as a larger thing with formal institutional endorsement.

For example, we Americans stereotype Catholicism as reflecting some European immigrant communities like Irish, Italians, Polish... But it's always been ok for an African American to be a Catholic. Probably in prior eras especially some of those communities of white Europeans would not have been terribly welcoming to such a person to say the least. But you couldn't say the international organization with HQ in Rome was against them being members. Or maybe I am wrong.
It took a bit of digging... this is an FAA radar, but not JSS. It's a secondary radar reporting to the Kansas City ARTCC, code ZQJN. Essentially, it transmits an 'interrogate' message in response to which aircraft transponders transmit information on the aircraft. This is the system that ADS-B is more or less a direct upgrade from.

I'm not sure exactly what equipment is installed there, I found an older report listing an ASR-8 at that location but that system is obsolete and inconsistent with a newer list showing it as a secondary (SECRA) site only.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlexia is a rare but real thing.

But if parents are super dedicated to the goal of getting their kid to read as early as possible, and spend hours per day on reading drills, it’s probably not impossible for most kids to start independently reading simple books by 2.5 or 3.

I’m not convinced this is a goal particularly worth prioritizing, compared to development of other skills. YMMV.

A lot surely comes down to the personality and preferences of the kid.
I believe Michael Feathers was just started a Twitter thread yesterday that talked, among other things, about moving IO to the edges of your code.

If you can divide acquisition from usage, I wonder how much less effort you need to put into API mocking.

Ages ago and shortly after I started testing, was the last time I had to do any low-level HTTP response processing. My coworkers could not fathom why I had divided the parsing and networking code into completely separate sections. Then I showed them how stupid-simple most of the tests were, instead of the convoluted mess of integration tests I'd walked into.

Hand the payload to I/O-free code immediately. You've done the hardest part at this point. Mocking out the network layer in any of half a dozen ways is a cakewalk in comparison.
