But don't most exchanges have a bigger delay for withdrawing? In order to escape with anything, you would have to withdraw before the exchange was aware of the double-spend, and at that point, they'd freeze your account. The exchange might be on the hook for honoring the phantom coins other users think they bought, but you haven't profited. Am I missing something?
Because bronchoalveolar lavage, one of many procedures used here, is an invasive medical procedure that has no purpose other than to obtain information for diagnosis or scientific research. A small endescope is passed down the trachea, and part of the lung tissue irrigated with fluid, and the fluid (now containing cellular detritis) analysed. It is intensely uncomfortable if performed without sedataion and bronchoscopy is typically performed under heavy sedataion as a result. All of these facts carry risk -- risks which, under international law, the patient has to consent to.
If work is the only stable thing in your life, you should try not to let it fall apart, but it is designed to support you financially, not emotionally. It can't hold you up by itself.

You're in Canada rather than the US, so there are fewer barriers to professional mental health care, as far as I am aware. Go see a psychiatrist or clinical therapist.

You have had four major stressors in one year, and then piled on change social behaviors and change in sleep habits. It's justified. Go talk with a pro so they can hold you together with duct tape and baling wire while working out a plan for more permanent repairs.
You're still not getting it...

Premarital assets of one spouse are not subject to the premarital debts of the other spouse. Period. For actions like this arising before the marriage but concluding after the marriage, the debt is premarital.

The same is true of one spouse's separate assets, such as an inheritance.

Marital debts can be subject to marital assets, regardless of whether you have a prenup or not, but even most community property states generally treat legal settlements as debt of the incurring spouse rather than as marital debt. And even the ones that don't will usually allocate that debt to the incurring spouse in the event of a divorce.
Computer salesman have talking points about how WD doesn't catch 95% of virus out there. Of course, they leave out the part about how WD focuses on the 5% of viruses actually found in the wild, as continuously surveyed by Microsoft, not the 30k variants of known viruses that are not relevant to a Windows 10 machine.

My go to is to say, the security lead for Google Chrome once tweeted, "the biggest impediment to implementing a secure browser is AV software."
Practically speaking it costs time and therefore money to do this. Small companies can't be expected to have both the technical and legal resources on hand to ensure compliance in the event of an EOL event for an API.
Oh wow that is hilarious. The best part is when he taps them with his feet.
Coronavirus: How worried should we be?
I agree with this. What you likely need is time and space to reconnect with whatever brings you joy. Ability to put your personal life first. What you’re experiencing is probably normal. I was in my mid 30s when a string of tragedies/major bad life events happened and 40 now. Things normalized. Some good things started happening again. But it’s not something to solve, it’s something to learn to live with and that just takes time and emotional exploration. The friend making dynamic that happens in this phase of life doesn’t make it any easier. It can be hard but find a shoulder to lean on. For me, reconnecting with childhood best friends helped me reconnect with myself in a way.

Good luck. Email in profile if you need a chat.

I highly recommend checking out the book "Console Wars" by Blake Harris. It provides an insider's perspective of the Sega v. Nintendo battle during the 80s and 90s. Among other interesting elements explored are the strange and sometimes downright competitive dynamics between the Japanese and American arms of these companies. After reading this, I came away thinking that a lot of the reason for Sega's demise (as a console-maker, anyways) were the stuck-in-their-ways Sega of Japan executives.

As do filesystems. Yet I've seen anyone argue that cutting the power is the recommended way of doing backups.

In fact the opposite, make sure to use an UPS just so that you can shutdown cleanly in the unfortunate event.

Oh, never underestimate people.

On the Pentium Overdrive! days, a guy came to my father's shop complaining that the computer wouldn't turn on. Turns out that he had installed the process in a different orientation "to see if it would go faster". Spoiler alert: it didn't.

Neither the CPU nor the motherboard failed (nor did the fancy overdrive socket). Once the CPU was installed correctly, it worked again.
I'm really sorry to hear this.

I can't say anything I've been through approaches what you've gone through. However, I have been burnt out recently with chronic health issues. I have some PTSD from some child abuse I went through, which means I struggle with burnout and stress a fair amount.

The hardest thing I've is the pressure we put on ourselves. Nobody is judging us harder than ourselves. There's nothing wrong with finding a work environment that is pretty laid back, and cut yourself lots of slack. I did this when my first child was born, and knew having a kid would really push me, especially given my abuse background. I stuck with a pretty 'maintenance mode' project, and wasn't stressing too much about work. I was certainly lucky to be in that kind of situation.

Definitely seek out mental health help (maybe you are as you're on a mental health break?). There are a lot of techniques for overcoming PTSD. EMDR, for example, is one very effective technique. There's also somatic psychotherapy. You can do this. Seek out support. And if you don't like your therapist, don't hesitate to switch. A good therapist can be a very personal decision.

If you work at a good place, and you feel safe doing so, maybe consider talking to your supervisors about your situation? I think it's tricky knowing whether to do this, and maybe you feel safe, but maybe you're afraid of the consequences? Both would be understandable. If you have a lot of trust in your workplace, talking about it would at least give them context for what you're going through, and you might be able to collaborate on a path forward that gets you help and gets you to a place in your career you can be laid back for a while. I've had positive results talking about my own issues to colleagues, but I know not every work place or boss is the same...

Culturally, Westerners are supposed to be cheery and happy all the time. I don't think this is reasonable. Forgive yourself and cut yourself lots of slack. I'm can be somewhat grumpy a fair amount, especially when sleep is impacted! Your negative emotions are perfectly valid and I think it's a shame we all feel stigmatized by expressing them in social situations

Best of luck to you!
Standups ain't that bad when they are short and to the point and honest. Being honest that something may take longer than it was estimated for should be okay. But people make it a big deal, that if it takes even a few days more, you are incompetent. So participants chose not to share that details and there is miscommunication or bugs or both.

Also, an important note. Even if there was a standup, it's ok to talk more in detail about the tasks/tickets after it, during a day. People seem to forget it and make the stantups far too long for everyone to hold one's attention until the end.
Perhaps try meditating? It's works for my negatively racing mind, usually. My thoughts are clouds, the state I wish for is a blue sky where clouds that appear are quickly dissolved or blown away. Try the trial of Headspace. I think they nicely hit the balance of not trying to force it, just never stop trying. An empty mind can feel very nice.

I never sunk as deep as you though. I get weeks of "stuck on negative issues in my life". Daily meditation of only 10 min already seems to help, I am by no means an expert by the way. Headspace helped me and when I try meditating now, I hear the voice of the Headspace woman (you can also select a man) talking to myself. When I feel bad again I may sign up for the service, but as said the 10 part trial is nice already.

Edit: 2 times meditation advice in 5 min ;) As below, it may not help very much very fast, still, after trying to actively calm my mind 10 min I usually feel better already. Even when it "fails" for 9.5 out of the 10 min.

No relation to Headspace btw ;)
This is a great example.

I'm not saying that the behavior Sonos engaged in here is good - I'm just saying that jumping to "it should be illegal" so quickly without considering all of the secondary impacts is a mistake.
I'm so sorry you're dealing with this.

About a year ago I resigned from a ~9-year job due to burn out (relationship issues and the death of my father were major contributing factors). I had put the decision off for a long time because I thought I should have a concrete plan first, but ultimately decided I'd never have the energy to plan next steps until I'd taken a long time off to recuperate.

So I just left. The time off hasn't fixed everything, but it has been enormously beneficial to me and I'm much more excited and optimistic about the future. I don't know how the gap will affect my career but at least now I feel like I have the energy to deal with whatever obstacles I encounter.

I was very privileged to be able to do that and I know your situation may differ; I don't have practical advice on dealing with financial concerns. But make sure you're sharing your feelings and getting advice from people around you, and - if you can keep your needs met - don't stay in an unbearable situation just from fear that something as good or better won't come along in the future.
In the business domain one is often counting and tracking explicit things: widgets, contracts, customers, complaints, pizzas, etc. When counting, you almost always start with 1. "1" fits the domain more naturally, and if you deviate, you'll likely spend code converting between the end-user's view and the code's view. The translation layer creates risk of errors and more code. Maybe weather forecasting or space probe orbit calculation is different, but 1 better fits biz. Dijkstra was not (primarily) a business domain coder. (Smarter languages, like Pascal, allow you to define the range, although I'm not sure if it has dynamic upper ranges.)
These are always fun. I've seen a number of them over the years.

1. Speech Recognition typing random garbage - user claims to be hacked.

2. Ambient light sensor on laptop turns off screen - user says my computer works at home but not at the office.

3. Set email background and font to white - user says he can't type new emails but can type replies.
I did a project this time last year where that's exactly how it was handled - there was a Slack bot to which you sent a daily update. Everyone in the team could view everyone else's status so was easy to see what was going on.
I’m consistent stunned at how a community built around tech startups cannot understand these business trade offs. People talk about mvps and happy paths and growth hacking but can’t understand how a business could look at some niche use case and say “yeah that deserves total support.”

Yeah, for sure. It's a judgment call on if you're overloading or not. The point is to find something you're excited about. Not a million things you're excited about.
Okteto Deploy OpenFaaS in One Click
"That’s why Doug tied that brick to a pencil — to prove a point. Of all the tools we’ve created to augment our intelligence, writing may be the most important. But when he “de-augmented” the pencil, by tying a brick to it, it became much, much harder to even write a single word. And when you make it hard to do the low-level parts of writing, it becomes near impossible to do the higher-level parts of writing: organizing your thoughts, exploring new ideas and expressions, cutting it all down to what’s essential. That was Doug’s message: a tool doesn’t “just” make something easier — it allows for new, previously-impossible ways of thinking, of living, of being."

Hah. I injured my hand a couple of years ago, and had to type with one hand for a couple of months. I could code review, I could participate in meetings, I could identify the source of a bug. But I could not write any but the simplest code. I was mystified. I could write emails and to some extent documents (typing of course slowed down a lot). But I became basically incapable of writing code. Using too much brain power on the physical act makes you have less left over for the CONTENT. Cool to see that this problem was understood much earlier.

http://onemodel.org , described briefly elsewhere in this discussion page and more at that site, is self-hosted, which today means installing postgres and editing one config file, doing backups & upgrades (but I might be able to help some).

Maybe I could host for others sometime if there were sufficient interest. And/or move it to sqlite.
Thanks! I think we've reached a productive agreement.

I do share your frustration with skeptics in life who just debate, I think this is a natural frustration for people who have an action bias and prefer to make things happen.

The world will always need those kinds of people, though, to keep us on the right track.
Avast free antivirus sends browser history to marketers
I was a bit saddened when Sony showed off the PlayStation 4 (as well as later slim versions of the PlayStation 3) and took out the little coloured logo. I loved how it also could be rotated for the upright orientation too. It helped instill a small feeling of magic with the product.
It is only correct and right that all these bronzes are returned.

The moral argument aside, I don't think the 'safety' argument holds either. For example, an artifact might be 'safest' if it's enclosed in a concrete box at the center of a mountain, but that would be of no use to anyone if it can't be seen. Artifacts like these belong to the people who created them, are most relevant to those people and their descendants, and therefore it is to them that they should be most accessible. For the average person in Nigeria, these artifacts might as well not exist if they're in the British Museum or elsewhere, since they will never be able to see them.

Finally, if the British Museum truly have been good stewards of these artifacts, their rightful owners might decide to loan some of them back, but that is wholly their determination and their choice to make.
One thing that may cheer you up that although when I went back to Google, I lost my options, but got back my massage credits :)
The Libertarian Case for Rejecting Meat Consumption
I can speak from experience on what _not_ to do. DO NOT DRINK. very, very, similar things happened to me and my drinking only resulted in utter chaos.
If you're doing a simulation, for instance, and you're missing a piece of functionality available in R, you can bring in just that piece. D's a nice language, and if you decide you want to use it, it's great to know that every line of R code you've ever written and every R library you've ever called is still available.
I agree that the Benin Bronzes should be returned to official custody of Nigerian museums. But concern that the museums are not capable of ensuring their safety can be very real: see for example the fire at the National Museum of Brazil in 2018 that irrevocably destroyed most of our records of extinct indigenous groups in the Amazon.
If you had 1/4 the hash power, it's true that you have 1/4 chance of creating a block before anyone else, but to be clear, doing that once isn't enough to do a double-spend attack of a transaction with some N confirmations (usually people would aim for N=6). There's only a 2% chance an individual attempt would pull that off for 6 confirmations in a row when using 1/4 the global hash power, and the whole time you're attempting this, your hash power isn't making money mining unless you succeed. On average, you would make $144,000 just from the block rewards from mining for that much time with 1/4 global hashpower, so the expected amount of failures are very expensive in opportunity costs. If I'm doing probability right, then at a 2% chance, you could expect to fail about 25 times on average before succeeding, so 25 failures adds up to $3.6 million of expected opportunity cost. (This isn't counting the cost in acquiring 1/4 global hashpower to begin with.) You would have to double-spend a lot of transactions to make that worth it, and people are probably going to wait for more than 6 confirmations on bigger transactions, which means a much larger attack would have to be done to target those.

The Myth That DDT Caused Egg Thinning and Depletion of Eagles
Very subjective and context specific argument.

Some things are more naturally numbered from 1, others from zero. Fence posts versus fence spans.

Pointer arithmetic is a great example of a situation well adapted to 0 based numbering, and was quite relevant to many programmers when this was written. However, far fewer programmers nowadays interact with raw pointers directly.

Personally, I run into more cases where I’d rather have 1 based numbering than zero, but your mileage may vary. It’s valuable to have a language which can support both.

Why do you advise against veganism? Going plant-based was easily one of the more effective ways of becoming healthy for me. It lowered my cholesterol levels and I think that it was instrumental in lowering my overall cardiovascular risk.
I agree with everything else you are saying but I don’t understand why a vegan diet would not be considered a healthy lifestyle change on the same level as keto. From people I have met who do keto they usually increase their meat consumption and usually that includes things like bacon and deli meats which the largest casual link to increased cancer risk

Amazing, and exact version of this happened to me in the Israeli Army in the 90's.

Every day at around 13:30 (give and take a few minutes) the network for an entire building went offline, only to come back on line a few minutes later.

... In our version of this 'bug' - one of the NCOs unplugged the electricity to that "big box with lots of blinky LEDs" in order to plugin an electric pot, to prepare his post-meal Turkish coffee, then plug it back in once water boiled...

Many resources were "thrown" at the problem, until, weeks in, someone had the splendid idea of quietly sitting around the network-cabinet around 13:30 and see what's going on.
It is specific to Intel TSX, which should already be disabled due to earlier published MDS vulnerabilities in the same space.
It matters in this case because the discussion took a turn towards comparing the compensation of staff to the provisioning of the office environment.

In that context, companies' consideration of expenditures will take into account capital versus operational categories.
I've found great calm in doing long walks. Especially on the way down from a good uphill hike when it's super early and there's noone else in the park.

For me it's sort of like forced meditation.

The first time I read this, I was ready to be convinced and left disappointed. His entire argument is based on avoiding "the pernicious three dots."

What's so pernicious about them? They are short, clear, unambiguous, easy to type. Why don't we just get our computer languages to understand what "2, 3, ..., 12" means? Is there any other argument to start counting at 0 other than not defining a range using the three dots? If not, maybe starting at 1 (like everyone does outside of computing) is the better option.
rsync went quite fine while transferring data (in the same situation as you describe), when taken care of some important bottlenecks (not running it over SSH, disabling compression on files that don't compress well, disabling full checksums, TCP sockopts, ...)

what it might leave you hanging with for a long time is before an actual transfer, while it builds and compares the lists on both sending and receiving side, when you have big filesystems (hundreds of millions of files).

if you have a strategy to select beforehand which files to transfer (for example from a DB which tracks what has been created or changed, direct from worker or production input) you have a good headstart and can minimize rsync on complete filesystems -- and rather run it on a selection, which is tiny compared to the complete project(s) most of the time.
I would recommend looking into Node.js for the back-end. You can then combine it with either React/Angular or even just a plain jQuery front-end.

The nice part about Node is that you'll have JS on both the front and back ends.

It really scalable and if you use typescript, you can get type safety as well :)

> Let me put it this way: “Premature optimization being the root of all evil” is the root of all evil.

The disconnect for most people is that optimization does not necessarily mean “performance”. It can mean optimizing for reusability, compatibility, objected-orientedness. Basically trying to optimize for a use case that you don’t have yet. I see this happen all the time with people optimizing to make their solution more general. It makes the code more complex and it may never be used in a general case.

If you are trying to build a performance piece of software, then you should absolutely be optimizing for that from the start. That’s not premature optimization, that’s meeting your design goals.

What Is the Future of Podcasting?
As a podcast host/producer, I've been thinking a lot about the long journey YouTube has taken over the last decade. I know podcasts have been around for a very long time, but they're definitely booming right now. I've seen ads for interactive podcast services and all kinds of wiz-bang stuff.

What do you predict for podcasting in the near future, culturally or technically that we who create them could prepare/plan for?
