You're probably right, although for a single word, it's a powerful one, 'Sir, your certainly going to die tomorrow' Vs 'Sir, you're almost certainly going to die tomorrow'....
I do miss that stuff.
If done right, it gives you a modest speed-up but it's only possible for a short time and also requires some luck without hacks.
I am familiar with the argument you are making, but I haven't seen that in practice. I noticed that if you give someone an extra day off or extra 3 days off, less work gets done rather than more.

Here in Hong Kong we have quite a few 3-day or 4-day working weeks (due to public holidays) and I have never once seen more work being done on those weeks.
I know a MechE working as a MechE who works 100% remotely. But his job is 100% CAD. I can share more details privately...
It's actually not that dangerous. Where I am the speed is measured about 200-300 meters from the traffic light. The traffic light changes when you are at a point where you can still slowly come to a stop - you won't be anywhere near a situation where the light changes to yellow as you are about to enter the intersection.

Grow Extra Inches

Nutrient E and B3 from plantains are a portion of the fixings that are regular information. Damiana Aphrodisiaca is a nearby plant from South America that has been utilized for a considerable length of time for different issues with male dysfunctions. Other recorded fixings incorporate Liriosma Ovata (Muira Puama), a hard to acquire the item.However, something that set these fixings apart is their source. They originate from Congo, Ghana, and different nations around the equator that have remarkable vegetation with concentrated and bioactive wellsprings of their fixings. One thing that the organization is sure about is that the fixings in these items are extremely, far-fetched to cause a hypersensitive response in the populace. They have been tried on over a thousands willing members, and the items have been utilized by a huge number of individuals since with no negative symptoms.At the point when you take Grow Extra Inches, there are various impacts that it can have on individuals. The item comes in container structure and comes in 60 case bottles. You can get it and have it legitimately and tactfully dispatched to your home or different letter boxes with the goal that it very well may be effectively taken. When you get the containers, you will take it consistently for 60 days and get different advantages.

That is an interesting point. Though Mumbai has a much higher population density that HK/Tokyo, those number can be misleading. May be India's diversity also plays a role here. Because I checked the list of cities by pop density, and the once that I think have good traffic flow are the ones that are more uniform. Diverse societies have a harder time making people follow rules. Not sure about traffic, but it sure makes sense in general.
That’s interesting, with both of these operating systems, I have to remind myself every couple of months to reboot just to be on the safe side, since the actual machines never crash or force me to. When you say your MacBook is crashing, what does that actually mean? I recently realized my Emacs had 300 buffers in it going back many many weeks, and I decided to finally reboot the whole machine and just get back to a blank slate.
Do you agree that there are shortcuts, though, which often lead to erroneous outcomes? Like I said, I didn’t personally use the word kludge just that I think the brain is taking shortcuts and those shortcuts lead to imperfect decisions/results at times. I do agree that it’s a super complex system which we don’t yet understand, so why kludgeyness that we see may well just be something we don’t see the true nature or reason for yet.
I live in KY, which has some of the same anti-dealer legislation as MI. I've been trying to get my mother interested in a Tesla but it's difficult when the closest "dealer" is two hours away in Ohio. Hopefully this win will roll over to other states and allow Tesla to expand.
Caftan Dresses
Caftan Dresses is a type of robes or tunics that have been worn for thousands of years ago. In the olden days, it was used by middle east countries and still the craze is on.
I'm from the haskell universe.

It's more than just side effects. A common design issue people hit is that midway through a projects lifetime they hit a feature request that is basically a slight permutation of an existing feature.

They realize that they cannot reuse the code because of the way they "designed" the program. Ideally you want to reuse existing code, or if no function specifically supports this feature you can encapsulate a relevant line of code into some sort of container so that it can be reused in multiple places. This is a way of decomposing your code, or aka: dividing a function into multiple pieces so components can be deployed in multitudes of other location thereby maximizing code re-use.

What happens is that most people realize that no matter how much they plan out a design they cannot execute the decomposition procedure above. A design choice made at the inception of the project fixes the shape of the code and limits flexibility. Thus they do code duplication as a workaround hack.

I am saying that this problem is actually caused by mutability.

What is seemingly a structural problem only occurs because you have a mutable variable. You can cut your code and divide a primitive into a thousand possible pieces if you wanted too but the minute you have a mutable variable in your code the division cannot be done.

Think about it. To surgically remove a mutable variable out of a piece of code you must not just cut out the variable but you must also bring every function or procedure that mutates that variable along for the ride. If your function has an entire network of functions mutating procedures than that function cannot be divided into smaller functions.

An immutable function can be cut into a thousand pieces and rebuilt in a different way. This is the best known solution for program design and organization.
This is the kind of argument Coca Cola prompted to protect their branding.

New bottles and cans are also washed (you don't want the chemical goop from manufacture inside).

Discarded bottles must still be transported to incineration / landfill, in which case more oil/sand/ore must be brought from somewhere.
Well, I don't work remotely but I am waiting on a task to be completed by another team for about a week now. It's something that can't possibly take more than one hour or so to be completed, and I even talked to them in person before submitting the task. That didn't change a thing about their deadlines.
I think one obstacle is that in practice, it is difficult to tell someone "your performance is bad today and you are not getting work done".

Was it German manufacturer? We experieneced lots of Skoda (basically anything of VW group) horn failures in India!
You don't have to make the system perfect. You have to make it cautious. At any time it suspects a bottle may be too dirty or not getting cleaned for some reason, it should reroute it to manual inspection line and/or straight to remelting. So now you lose 30% of your yield, but the rest is clean and sterile. That's a good starting state, from which then you can optimize the contaminant detection.
Are you saying manager oversight is what's keeping your co-workers from slacking off all day? Is this a place that produces quality of any kind?
Agree with that, and that is interesting. Replied below to a similar comment. You also have to consider that infrastructure is far less developed in Mumbai, though.
that sounds like an enforcement issue? China did the same in Shanghai in like 2008 and what felt like over night the horns stopped.
The historical rant against Pascal, where only ISO Pascal is taken into consideration lest not weaken the argumentation, most of the negative issues regarding strings, open arrays, pointer usage and procedure/function pointers were sorted out by UCSD Pascal, Turbo Pascal, Object Pascal (at Apple and later Borland) and ISO Pascal was later reviewed into ISO Extended Pascal.
Remote work can be very effective but it's not for everyone, or at least not all the time.

We have a liberal remote working policy to the point where one of our team works from home almost all the time, whilst at the other end of the spectrum there are people who prefer to be in the office almost all the time, and then everything in between.

I fall somewhere in the middle. A day a week from home, particularly one with few or no meetings, can enable me to get a huge amount done. But I live alone so, whilst I am an introvert, I am not a misanthrope and need to ensure I get enough social contact.

Multiple consecutive days working from home can leave me feeling quite depressed and demotivated. I certainly wouldn't want to do it all the time.
I tried Nebula Graph days ago, which I thought was pretty amazing. I followed through the step-by-step user guide, and I was fascinated by its speed to import data from my local computer to the graph database with simple configuration on the Studio GUI.
> The scale is way too small for it to matter.

I suspect that's what people thought when they began burning oil and gas for energy...

I don't remember the source, nor can I vouch for the veracity, but I remember reading an article that worked out what would happen if all cars ran on hydrogen. IIRC it had a significant impact on local weather conditions in cities.
"My biggest complaint about this language I've never used is something I'm not sure is true. Is it?"
I agree with you that it seems he’s most bummed about not being a hero in the article. At this point, with every little position paper he publishes, and receives massive (and I think mostly undeserved) attention for, its not hard to see why he’d be bothered by the tarnishing of his image. At the same time, I have met one or two journalists, who are by far the exception, where nearly in the instant of meeting them, I know this person is nothing short of a total asshole. The wsj with its hyper-stylized “hedcut” illustrations is kind of the last place you’d expect to see such people, esp. if you’re the “good” banker... but let’s just take this with a dose of perspective, it’s not like they said he eats puppies for breakfast.

One of the great things about that game is exactly how vulnerable you are when you don't have a lot of gear. And it really makes you play different strategies depending on how much gear you get.

It clearly also tickles that part of the psychology that makes you want to keep playing if you're lucky and get a jackpot of good gear when you first land.
There is a deposit included in the price of most glass bottles in Poland, but there is also some mix of regulations and store practices that seems targeted at the poor/homeless, to prevent them from making money by collecting bottles in trash cans. I remember having stores refuse larger batches of return bottles without a proof they were originally bought at that particular store. Maybe someone else knows more details; it's just something I observed some years ago.

I don't think doing it as a one-off counts. I think the argument is that an extended time on 4-day weeks would in the long term allow people to settle into a more well-rested rhythm.

Steps to add tests on existing code when you have short deadlines
I have a 2011 iMac that's running High Sierra (its last supported release). I upgraded it from its base 4GB to 20GB of RAM.

Since getting High Sierra, everything's been really smooth, but the Sierra -> High Sierra upgrade actually bricked my computer. It was perpetually stuck in the installation phase, bailing after 45 minutes because it couldn't unmount my partition. To Apple's credit though, after I used recovery mode to reinstall the OS, everything worked and my data was intact.
This will never work but if you can do it more power to you. Two weeks is totally insufficient. Then again training is a sucker's game. When they get good, I can just hire them, and not pay anything into training.
> Oh and if you forget a cap on your bottles or don’t scrape off the paper label and make sure you wash everything before putting it in the trash then you’re a terrible person and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Same in Poland. I can't think of a better way to sabotage recycling efforts. Whoever introduced this into regulation/common practice, I believe it was intended to actually make people stop segregating trash.
For many jobs that's how it works. A lot of work is not about quality, tasks just have to be completed according to schedule.
You were downvoted because your post lacked any real content or rebuttal (and, probably, for the edit - no one likes it when people complain about downvotes).

FWIW though, you're absolutely right - there was (maybe still is?) an enormous amount wrong with PHP. The only real rebuttal core-questions needs is a link to the classic essay, "PHP: a fractal of bad design" [1], which lists far, far more problems than just issues with function names or parameter order, and does it more comprehensively and with more style than you or I could hope to.

no idea about HK law but in USA law not getting your tax bill has no bearing on your obligation to pay. Even getting bad info from the IRs does not give you an excuse to not pay it correctly and on time.
Good point.

Less of a mod scene and more of people coming up with new approaches to the existing weapons.

In a way it’s sad we don’t get mods, the silver lining is the game continued growing and getting tweaked for 2 years, with new stages, a whole new mode, new weapons added every few months even 2 years after launch. As of now there’s just hope about a Splatoon 3 for perhaps the next Switch.
In general there doesn’t seem to be much use for pointers to specific bytes. Almost any field should be at least 32-bit aligned and when you do need an exact byte, storing an offset from the beginning of the object probably makes more sense.

It doesn't count if you can't mow down enemies with a chaingun. I presume there is no chaingun in Mount and Blade.
My role is mainly design oriented so I'm not entirely sure if this applicable to roles more geared towards logistical roles. I think the general concensus that my peers agree with is that HWE usually get compensated one level below SWE on average. Is 110K total compensation? If so, I would guess her TC (base+RSU+bonus) would at least be in the 180K range with 15+ years of experience. If she plays her cards right, I wouldn't be surprised if she hits lows 200K.
I believe this is basically how "The Secret" works. It's about gaining a laser focus on some objective, and following through.
They will until they don’t, right? These are the same people that will outsource entire teams offshore to complete things when it’s cheaper. There’s a lot of talk about worker productivity in this thread, but I promise you in several years when these companies are able to simply hire cheaper labor outside of tech centers, you won’t hear shit about remote work being unproductive lol.

I grew up in Sri Lanka, where we had British influence until 1948.

Almost every single household has a pantry section dedicated for plastic bags. Its rare to get them from stores because they were wrapped in paper (to a cone, and poured things like sugar and other stuff), and then wrapped. Plastic bags were to be bought (not free as opposed to today), and the cost alone kept many people from reusing.

Beverages almost always came in glass bottles, and a deposit had to be left to get one unless the shop owner knows you in the village. It's similar to the pfand system, except the glass bottles were cleaned and aluminium cans were even unheard-of.
In Europe right now farmers are pressured to limit their nitrogen off gassing due to environmental concern. Apparently too much of it disrupts plants that thrive in low nitrogen environments, and its unhealthy for humans in some way.
What is the threshold for "convincing" though? If I write an article about you alleging or directly concluding something unpleasant, ask you for comment, include your denials, but publish anyway slanting the entire article to my narrative, and you publish your own take on the matter, are you automatically not convincing? "But the people have a right to know, that rumanator did XYZ!!".

This is the entire problem -- there is nothing that will apparently get a media org to retract or back down, because for them, publishing something, anything means revenue and not publishing means going out of business, facts be damned.

Media: "Hey, we're writing an article about this concerning you -- any comment?"

Subject: "It's completely untrue."

Media: "Ooh, you must be hiding something, we're publishing anyway."

Subject: <Publishes online rebuttal>

Online commentariat: "He's not convincing!! The media is under attack and our democracy is dying in the darkness!"
Ask HN: How do you organise and find notes and files?
I store text in Markdown format, media (clipping from webpages & forums, images & video) & code snippets in dropbox. Searching and finding is the issue.

The matter/type of data ranges from rent in a neighbourhood that someone mentioned is paying that I want to store, food recipes I find, some interesting tips, quotes & facts. Digital copy of all important documents (passport, degree, receipts). Just every info I come across, I record it incase I forget it (I am rather forgetful). But now the issue is search my data.

Tried Evernote & Onenote, but it reduces the quality of files and I am not fully happy with the organisation method. Plus my data is stuck in the application.

I like the tag/label approach of Gmail. I think tags will be a better way to explore & find things needed.

I would love to know your method and hoping to learn an efficient method for organising my data. I am looking for an open standard. Org mode is interesting, but lack for media support is why I avoid it.

You can, as long as your files have a meaningful representation as a text file. This is a good idea anyways.
Probably not.

1. Electric vehicles are a terrible fit for military operations

2. The actual HMMWV is a steaming pile of garbage. Not sure why the US Gov would want to buy an expensive version of the same thing

3. The HMMWV was recently replaced by the JLTV - it'll probably be at least 20 years before the next refresh cycle
I agree, but. People skills. Allegedly managers have them.

Plus until corps can fire and replace the slackers, they are not in danger. (Because it's unlikely to hire someone while the quarantine is in effect.)

But simply tying pay to daily performance usually works.
I'm holding out until sim city 4 is finally ported.
I thought this would be about light polution. The fact that we can't often see the stars at all, even on clear nights, is a much more dystopian issue in my opinion. I don't think lights off at night would be as big a deal as people think. Would require some societal changes, but it's doable.
For starters from Google, with their Linux Kernel Self Preservation project, where an endless list of exploits have been fixed, starting by removal from all VLAs in the kernel source.

Going forward, all Android devices on ARM are required to use ARM MTE, because the only way to keep C develoeprs on track is to have hardware control their pointer usage.

And as of NDK 21, Fortify is enabled by default, https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/10/introducin...

Given that Linux kernel downstream on Qubes , ChromeOS and Android are the only ones with all of the security counter measured turned on, that speaks a lot for the standard Linux kernel on random distribution X.
Just a heads up: 5-meo is not DMT. There are quite a few chemicals with DMT in their name like 4-aco (4-AcO-DMT), which is also not DMT.

Also, when it comes to 5-meo you don't really "trip" per se, not in the traditional sense. You just kind of half pass out for about a minute. The potential for the risks you mention on 5-meo is nearly impossible, due to it not being a traditional kind of trip.

Likewise, DMT you don't really trip in a traditional way either. For about 5 to 15 minutes, you're off in la la land. You can barely think straight let alone enough to explore your inner mind like you would do during a normal trip. For similar reasons, the risks you describe are most likely non existent for DMT. Though, DMT isn't exactly enjoyable for most, so there is that.

I've seen a few studies and so far it seems to be that cannabis is most likely to cause the risks you're describing, including psychosis. While those risks are possible on LSD, magic mushrooms, and other drugs you trip on, the risk is far lower than in cannabis.
fwiw it's nice to say this stuff but 2020 features have long gone been decided. on the schedule they are 2/3 done with feature development already.
Thanks - we'll add this information.

The per-minute charges are fixed for a given number type for inbound calls. They're cheapest for landline numbers (e.g. just under EUR 0.01 per minute for a UK landline), very slightly more expensive for mobile numbers, and quite a lot more expensive for toll-free numbers (since you're paying the cost for the caller). For outbound calls, it depends where you're calling. There are volume discounts available.

We guarantee one simultaneous channel per phone number for Basic accounts. For Pro accounts ($10/month) we guarantee an additional 8 simultaneous channels which can be used across any of the phone numbers as demand requires. Those are guarantees and our system will often allow bursting above them if capacity allows.

For Business accounts (negotiated minimum spend) we can negotiate any number of simultaneous channels.

Pro & Business accounts have SIP support, both registration and directing inbound calls to a SIP URI.
