I think this whole article is specifically about how these brands don't discount in sales.

1-based indexing I can live with. The fact that the "array length" operator stops at the first nil in the array is what makes Lua unusable for me.

Edit: 1-based indexing I can live with. The fact that the things you create with {a, b, c} act for the most part like arrays except for the fact that if they contain nils, the "length" operator is undefined and usually stops at the first nil, is what makes Lua unusable for me.
Sadly the active development stopped, but there's an attempt to bring it back by one of the maintainers of LuaRocks.

Of course in many ways they are different, but not in the important ones for this discussion.

I used influenza because it was convenient in terms of available research, I could grab in a minute or two, but I'm sure if you care to look you can find similar data for rhinovirus.

Rhinovirus and influenza have very comparable R0's. R0 is the epidemiological measure of the "contagion" factor of a pathogen.
This is a great point, and I should clarify: I do this and it works. However, it feels like a second class feature, and there are many rough edges.

For example, some apps don’t seem to be aware of this possibility and throw errors if you try to open a file on this way. You also can’t add directories as favorites like you can for other sources. It’s just annoying enough in some cases that it feels like Apple doesn’t really want you to do it.

That's assuming, for the sake of argument, of course that a biolab creating these types of viruses for "offensive" purposes would only focus on one, extremely lethal virus and nothing else. It's easy to imagine that less lethal viruses are also created to study the effects of different modifications, and these viruses may be kept under less strict supervision than the worst ones (increasing the risk of it spreading).

Anyway, there's no evidence so far to support any of these theories, but considering China's record I guess it wouldn't surprise me. For now I still think the easiest explanation is the most likely.
Fucking hell, your defense against all the criticism is that "Oh it's data from some 3rd party!", which is more or less saying "not my fault!".

As another has said, this is less than useless, this is dangerous. And if it's the source that's wrong, then the source is also dangerous, but you're spreading dangerously wrong information. I hope no LGBT+ person actually depends on your site, because it might get them fucking killed.

Besides, having the info be country-wide is not granular enough. A gay traveller would probably feel very safe in San Francisco but not feel very safe in some little town deep in Alabama.

There is an easy solution to this, either require all cables be the same specs or require that cables have their specs labeled. It's already an improvement over the past where every device had a different cable, I can at least slow charge instead of no charge.

Thanks, but undeserved. Self-awareness may be good eventually, but sometimes it just makes you feel like a helpless observer to your own actions. I think you need more than just awareness - you need to practice feeling the feelings and not acting on them in the usual way. That's the part that will yield results, I hope.

Alternatively, I'd like to work for an organization that's on the same page here. Effectiveness in software (or anything that depends on iterating on a design) relies more on a fast loop than anything; I'm tired of fighting this battle.

The article mentions discount "designer" outlets in the UK. These exist in the USA too, but seem to be (deliberately?) hard to find. E.g. a Google search for "Prada outlet" won't produce useful results. I've been to the one in Palm Springs where family found some quite significantly discounted product at Prada, Burberry, Gucci:

So now are you saying that you are in favor of Apple’s “Walled garden” to ensure quality? If you are worried about quality cables that must pass some type of certifications doesn’t that argue for proprietary cables where Apple ensures the quality?

Shouldn’t in that case Apple lock down cables more?
It would be cool to go one step further and have the handshake enable an electromagnet.
Yes, no deletes. Since there is no company in the middle, the GDPR rules don't apply to this P2P network, so it isn't an issue legally (in Europe).

This is something that will probably take some puzzling to get to a sustainable mechanism. The strategy I've heard talked about most often is to append metadata that marks it as 'deleted', so when things populate or 'gossip' further, it won't show up in the user interface. Instead it's labeled as 'archived' or 'deleted', or has a link to it's replacement.
I don't understand this. Care to elaborate?
>I fear that I have such a large amount of contempt for those who don't share my view on this that it leaks out whatever I do. I even know, intellectually, that this is wrong - ignorance does not deserve contempt, but compassion, after all.

It can be annoying, but at the same time, it forces them to take a break to think about things they're currently working on. When you have nothing to think about and your current work is simple and you're waiting minutes, you tend to get bored and frustrated though.

And also remember that some people would simply rather get paid to do nothing, and a long BTD cycle helps that.
I am reminded of patio11's article "Don't call yourself a programmer".

I would say this comment section should be renamed "Don't make a big impact at work without clearly getting the credit for the value added"

Before you do any more impactful things at work to benefit someone else's equity, do the following

- set up an internal blog location where you can write up, each friday, what you and your team have achieved

- add simple videos of good stuff in action (screen casting is easy now and always stick your voice track on top)

- tell people, with links.

Stake your claim.
* implemented a more difficult rigorous screening test and process for new hire canidates

* reduced build times. Boss was angry at me spending time on it and it did take a while but after we started shipping weekly instead of quarterly...

* ignore my boss anytime he gets annoyed I automated legacy things. It bit me in the ass once, but paid out 10x several times.

* internal tools and automation scripts
Thought this was going to be more literally. A phone-virtual-machine, for stuff like your robot vacuum cleaner to keep it from infesting your real phone and spy on you.
What are your main objections to BTD loops? Also, which alternatives do you suggest?
Yeah, fairly compelling, I appreciate your points. I might still quibble in a couple places, but I think we're not actually that far apart overall.

> As an immigrant to the USA from a Soviet controlled satellite state, let me say that just because corruption is so endemic that from the outside it looks like their "culture", does not negate the fact that it is still corruption.

I appreciate hearing that. I had previously endorsed a more black and white view here, but faced some pushback from Russia scholars. I'll hold my ground more next time.

I had originally found the Ikea experience pretty compelling:

I was a little more taken aback at your description of the essay as...

> overtly partisan

He notes that divided government with opposing parties controlling different levels of government contributes to combating corruption.

I could see a narrow reading of it as him saying "we need Republicans to police these Democrats!" But having read him previously take shots at both sides, I don't think that's what he was going for. I think he just meant that having a competitive political environment helps prevent the consolidation of power generally.

> Corruption has nothing to do with markets

This point was hard for me to understand. It's like saying that the moon has nothing to do with physics. Sure, you can exclusively look at the moon poetically if that's your preference, but there are tools in physics that are going to help you understand some phenomena related to the moon. Same for economics and various human activities.

While I can read this I can't tell if this is evidence of a conspiracy, or if it's just the case of a more senior police officer helping a junior officer to do things by the book. (I do see some hints of this.) I think we'd need legal professionals to have a look at this.
Thanks. I should have made this more explicit, but I care less about the WLAN performance (as long as it's ok) - I care more about the wired one.

Most OpenWRT ports don't offload the LAN/WAN routing, and doing it on a lowly ARM CPU often effectively limits this to a few hundred megabits - e.g. 150mbps on my WDR4300 (which does manage 800Mbps for the same task with the original closed firmware which does do some hardware offloading)
I don't love the pricing examples (cost prohibitive for many), but I like an idea of IP pool clusters where you pay to be on a certain tier level.
> Why is called Cilantro and not Corinander?

You probably know this, but in the US Cilantro is the leaves and Coriander is the seeds of the same plant. Possibly because only the leaves are used in Mexican cooking, and a huge amount of US cuisine these days originates from Mexico, or pretends to.

I'll quote from the conclusion of that article, because the frequent assumptions that bus arrivals are a poisson process peeve me and this article did a good job of actually testing that assumption:

> Even without a statistical test, it's clear by eye that the actual arrival intervals are definitely not exponentially distributed, which is the basic assumption on which the waiting time paradox rests.

> The average waiting times are are perhaps a minute or two longer than half the scheduled interval, but not equal to the scheduled interval as the waiting time paradox implied. In other words, the inspection paradox is confirmed, but the waiting time paradox does not appear to match reality.

> the above analysis shows pretty definitively that the core assumption behind the waiting time paradox — that the arrival of buses follows the statistics of a Poisson process — is not well-founded.

Trump's base is decidedly not elite. It's working class people who live outside cities.

But that's just the point. When they decided on 32 bits, then it was more than sufficient for the intended use case. If we had stuck to universities and government uses, then we probably still wouldn't have run out.

Outlet stores really have limited inventory and that is shown if you've ever compared a Gucci/Prada outlet store to a retail store.

Outside of generic items, you will rarely find any gems and also: the more expensive the brand, the more behind the season the outlet store is. They are really not the same as retail stores.

The outlet discount for those brands also rarely exceeds 50%. For some items, it doesn't even exceed 20-30%.
"think I would have noticed by now"

I don't think so.

Many systems are non-reproducible and it's often subtle enough that professionals don't know or don't care.

It seems the problems your describing are management problems not engineering problems. The people who designed, built and are responsible for maintaining and updating the system should be on call if something goes wrong.

I view runbooks in the same way I view "knowledge transfers". It's management's desperate hope that somehow a person leaving a project or company can convey their acquired knowledge of a system on some Confluence page or from a few meetings. It's a complete failure to recognizing the essence of the work.

I don't think runbooks are necessarily bad if they are used to bootstrap new team members. But thinking their existence is a green light to allow people without domain expertise in a system to be responsible for administering the system during "off hours" is misguided.
Am I the only person who finds "nim is python-y" an odd description? I often think that even "perl with off-side rule" would make more sense, given the variety of ways you can express many concepts in nim(TWMTOWTDI) and number of sigils.

I get that the stdlib is clearly inspired by python¹, and that using a reST-ish subset for documentation is Python-y. Beyond that surface scratch the comparison just falls apart, and often seems to end up as a pointless sticking point when introducing co-workers to nim. You can't even ignore the idea, as the moment they crack the awesome Nim in Action book or the official docs they're immediately shown it.

Yes, I felt it had a positive impact. The system was already over-engineered for its purpose, something virtually every senior would admit if pressed. uServices would only add to that administrative overhead at design time, and massive operational complexity at runtime.

Having come off of a project that supported 400k registered and 100k active users on a single server, this project isn't yet at that scale and they were anticipating massive scale issues. This mistake was a real bonanza for an engineering team wanting to learn the latest tech; a massive failure for the product that really needs fast UX iterations to succeed.

The "Automate everything" mentality tends to come from developers who are not yet really experienced enough to know what value automation is bringing. I'm a developer and I love automation of things, but I also know that some things don't automate well (self-healing systems are great, but at this point in time they mostly fail in interesting ways, which is one of the reasons SREs exist).

Automation also doesn't mean a system is actually of value. I've seen plenty of automation that has made life harder and incidents more common. It's also meant that some systems have been designed in a sub-par way, just to shoehorn automation in.

The mantra "automate everything" should be a nice rule of thumb, but not followed with any dogma.
Yeah but that’s still fully nominal typing, you can’t implement the interface implicitly, it has to be identified by name.
Seems to me like there are a lot of unsubstantiated allegations here with perhaps a veneer of citation, in that the named individuals actually exist(ed). There's nothing other than these assertions to link these people endemically to tech and Silicon Valley.

Just seems like a shamefully irresponsible hot take, designed to generate clicks for the Guardian, not actually inform.

When I was a child of sincerely anti-racist, feminist, liberal parents, they taught me that, when speaking of a group of people, to always include a qualifier of some sort, such as "most" or "some" or "many" or "a few". For example, rather than "Silicon Valley was a white paradise", I would have to say "Silicon Valley was a paradise for some white people". Seems painfully naive.

Keep in mind that if a judge has to get involved, it would take a long time for the penalties to actually take effect. The idea of increasing penalties is a good one, but the lowest level needs to be an order of magnitude more significant, and ditto for the subsequent steps.
On the contrary, I think this is more damning for Melzer: it seems inconclusive as proof for the accusations of "proactive manipulation of evidence", when he should really have had something more considering all the fuss he is raising.

Mind you, it might turn out the police did do malicious manipulation of evidence; but right now it seems more like Melzer is just trying to get publicity or something.
I think youre on the right track with this folder thing. My only suggestion is to make a photocopy to carry around and keep the original in a safe place.

This really only applies if you require absolute certainty. But most of the time being reasonably certain is enough to operate in the world. And you can be reasonably certain about lots of stuff.
Building a single webpage which submitted search forms to the different ticket systems and web based tools at the company.

Multiple usages:

Enter one keyword, and look it up in Wiki, Redmine, two extra ticket systems, mails with customers with fewer clicks.

Or enter a customername, and find him in any if these systems using other search forms.

Also offering short links to often used functions, like selfhosted password generator etc.

Saved me lots of clicks and copy and paste when debugging or investigating issues.

My biggest issue with the eGPU, on an Intel Skull Canyon NUC so Intel from top to bottom including Thunderbolt technology, it was very flakey with the eGPU and the computer frequently getting locked into a dysfunctional state. Sometimes I'd spend 20 - 30 minutes cycling through powering on and off before it all worked.

Now I use it with a Macbook Pro and it works very smoothly, even using a TB2 adapter. I can only use it in bootcamp because of Apple's policy towards nVidia, but it works every time and disconnects every time.

Even with the troubled experience, being able to move a GPU between computers is really just awesome, I wouldn't buy another machine without Thunderbolt or USB 4 eventually.

I may dust my personal ER-X off soon and take a look at addressing the issues. I would have more enthusiasm about it if it didn't involve writing perl scripts.

If you do attempt it again there are "generate" commands which will generate they keys needed and place them in the proper area in the file system. Most of the guides to configuring Wireguard on edgeos seem unaware these exist and have people using the "wg" command directly instead to generate keys.

> This is extremely misleading. Sure, the velocity input into your synth is going to be at 7-bit resolution, but at soon as the synth has it, it can play anything it wants at whatever volume it wants to based on how you have configured it. There's nothing about the external 7-bit implementation that is really limiting the dynamics of the synth itself.

If I have to manually reconfigure every sound to work with the quantization, that's a very impractical workflow.
