It's a nice thought, but you're trying to improve someone's life who exists in a septic tank by spraying in some air freshener. At best, you're slightly delaying the inevitable. At worst, you're making the cognitive dissonance worse and lowering the signal-to-noise ratio.

If you really want to improve these people's lives, organize a Union, and find a way to get everyone on board. Without that, no employer will take the issue seriously, as every dollar they expend on maintaining worker's will-to-live is another dollar off the bottom line. It's sad, but that's the way it works.

I know there's the overwhelming push to do something at least; I've felt it many times. Unfortunately, you have to work your way into a central point of the causal nexus to alter the overall situation, or else you're tying to plug a leaky dam with your fingers. Believe you me, down that road lies madness, heartache, self-loathing, and pain. The same thing you're trying to alleviate them of.

Save yourself the trouble and start the long journey by aiming for the right goal now. Help them organize in their own interest. It'll go leagues further than what even the rest of us can do for them.
I'm not sure thats what's going in here. If you're working 8 h a day at, say, 15€ / h, then even assuming you can choose between commuting 1 h more or working 10 h days, the commute may make more economic sense, depending on the rent situation.Also, mostly you're not going to get the chance to work those 10 hours every day all year.
100 false positives for every actual positive is also pretty bad.
The most frustrating thing about this app.... is that it ignores other algorithms such as sha-256 or 512.

But get this!

On iOS it correctly shows the right OTP code for these algorithms.

On android it acts like it’s a sha-1 and has the wrong code....
Your linked Wikipedia article suggests that we may have shifted some of our energy usage to other countries (e.g. by making use of manufacturing done in another country).

Edit: Perhaps the actual total energy usage is lower. However, the article doesn't give the impression that this is obviously true.

How long did you map them? My understanding is that to see the "odd cycles and misbehavior" you need to make observations over the course of months at the right time of year.

There are some non-technical online jobs from Appen or Lionbridge that should give you some stable income each month (at max about 100~200USD per month). These jobs usually require you to work from 10~20 hours per week. Besides, there are websites like utest (do testing) and clickworker(microtask), which doesn't have stable income but at the same time much less commitment.

This kind of planners are quite popular, actually, e.g. on Etsy https://www.etsy.com/search?q=pomodoro%20planner

In a nutshell, I have my personal limit in working hours, at least 100h/per month, and 6h/day for a working day. Each pomodoro is 30 minutes long ("classic" is 25, but I make it 30 so it'll be easy to count).

With this planner I can track my productivity and easily schedule my work, on average it's 6 pomodoros before lunch, and 6 after. I do understand that it's my comfortable limit to do my best, otherwise working hours will not be so productive.

Also, I'm a freelancer, so I have no working days nor weekends. With this planner I can easily manage how much I should work more during this month. Say, in the first 10 days I've filled 50% of pomodoros working hard without a single break. Hooray! I can take a 5-days weekend!

So, yes, it's just the way I use it. And the final goal with this tool is to meet all people needs (i. e. adding more settings, so far I've added only those I've needed).

Thanks for the reply! I've got your point.

In no-exception builds, exceptions become crashes. RTTI is barely used anywhere in the STL.

As an example, Firefox uses STL without RTTI or exceptions.
Shit, I’ve been using the Pomodoro technique for a few years (get up, make some checkboxes representing 25-min units of work you would like to do today, check them as you do it, possibly use a whimsically-shaped kitchen timer to keep myself aware of time passing (the original was shaped like a tomato, hence the name), add other notes/symbols for stuff that took longer than anticipated or that showed up, look over old checklists now and then, repeat) and I have no damn idea how I’d use this. Where do I put task descriptions? Why can I make far more checkboxes than I can use in a day?
There is no source of errors in doing:
bigint_value = float_value * 10^E if E else float_value
float_value = bigint_value / 10^E if E else bigint_value

Obviously only convert to real numbers if you are doing operations on numbers in your system, otherwise keep in client format like you said.
It's a 4.2% drop, using your numbers. That's not a pothole. If looking at my savings account, I saw a sudden 4.2% drop it would not just be a "meh, it happens, no problem here" type situation.
> In 1918, medicine had barely become modern; some scientists still believed “miasma” accounted for influenza’s spread.

Does anyone know where I can learn more about the "miasma" model of disease? Whenever I'm looking up old plagues / diseases / etc. etc., they bring up the "miasma" model.

But what is the miasma theory (or pseudo-science?) that people used to believe in? And how does it differ from our modern germ theory?

Ex: I know plague doctors wore airtight masks and waxxed leather to suit-up and protect themselves from the "miasma" of the plague. As an early sanitization model, it probably worked (at least, "worked" as much as modern masks work on untrained laypeople). But where did the miasma model fall short compared to germs?
I'd buy that if there hadn't been approximately 48764576459674 "Rust vs Go" (well, more usually "this is why Rust is way better than Go and you're some kind of moron if you're not switching to Rust today") articles in the last few months.
It's less secure, but the single factor is a stronger single factor than a password because it can't be reused. If someone mitms my login they get my password and otp code, which they ideally can't turn into something reusable (if the website requires 2FA to change security settings) and definitely can't use if they have a lag between collection and exploitation (like a keylogger that phones home every so often). This is acceptable to me, but I would prefer websites let me use a one time code as a single factor of authentication.
Why does everyone create and require custom IDEs?

Great article! It's funny to finally see ad blockers go "mainstream".

My dystopian-future fear is that that Web Assembly will be the end of ad blocking (and the end of a web of connected web sites). Big sites will eventually convert to essentially "a web browser inside a web browser" so they have total control over the content and how it's displayed.

Then ad blocking (and other customization) will be limited to "the analog hole" - trying to image detect or OCR things.

I hope I'm wrong, but I've also been asked countless times over the years to "stop people copy/pasting our text" and "stop people seeing our code" and "stop people downloading our images"... the browser-in-a-browser feels inevitable!

Gee, I wonder why.
You build speaking the OTP code into the authenticator app itself, controlled by a setting in the app itself rather than the system wide accessibility settings, and possibly using its own text to speech library instead of the system wide text to speech facilities.

Whether or not it should use its own text to speech depends on whether or not you need to worry about malware subverting the system wide text to speech system.

If it does use its own text to speech, it might be possible for it to just use the system text to speech system on install to do generate speech for the 10 digits and save that, and use those recordings for speaking codes.

That avoids having to worry about system text to speech compromises except during authenticator app installation so is probably almost as safe is including a dedicated text to speech system, an ensures that they can handle all languages that the system text to speech can handle.
Are you kidding?

Premium? WTF?
I'm actually a bit surprised that Apple hasn't made their own OTP app for the iPhone yet.

Yes, you're right. I did not do a clear job of explaining the flaw.
Most of the generated images would just be noise though. You could probably be more clever than just generating random images, and have a decent chance of generating something that someone would design. These days you could use neural networks, but obviously that wasn’t feasible then
I can appreciate the effort that went into this, but I don't really understand its appeal, or even the appeal of Helm, when installing anything on Kubernetes is as simple as running `kubectl apply -f <manifest.yml>`.

For my personal cluster, I have a private Git repository filled with various singleton manifests that help me bootstrap various different things. Most "standard" installs (nginx-ingress, cert-manager, istio, etc) provide their own single manifests as well.

I feel that introducing layers of abstraction on top of that is generally unnecessary, but particularly because it doesn't really help you understand how K8s works.

This sounds very rough, wishing you all the best. I would say the main goal for you here is survival and having a roof over your head. Maybe consider getting a minimum wage job somewhere to at least give you enough money for food and rent while you keep looking for another job in the field you love. The other thing is to look at remote jobs. There are plenty out there especially nowadays. Wishing you all the best
Result types are genericizable in a way that checked exceptions aren't (IIRC), which is huge for ergonomics.

Okay, let me ask this then - what language would be better compared to contrast the shortcomings of Go that the other takes issue with?

Certainly not C++, no?

Yes, but doing so, they will lose the ability to be indexed, searched, archived and linked to. Like during the flash era.

There have been some changes in attitudes. But give them a few years. Most kids in college don't have cars anyway. And, when they graduate, they may find not being able to drive rather limits job opportunities. Most people aren't in the position of some tech workers who can pretty much pick and choose based on where they want to live.

It's not just about owning a car. A lot of even white collar jobs depend on driving. (Think just about any sales job for example [that involves meeting with customers].) Leaving aside for a moment all the recreational and social activities I would have missed out over my life by not driving, I've had jobs where I absolutely needed to drive.

Does it do that every time, or just the first time? If it just happens once I guess that might be a tolerable tradeoff. Still doesn't seem like it's worth classifying Google's app as abandoned just because they declined to implement this particular feature.

No one (or a much lesser percentage) would use an ad-blocker if ads were just ads, without all the tracking, privacy and malware concerns.

Go back to contextual static-image ads, folks.
I think ads will be the reason Web Assembly takes off in a massive way, actually. Much harder to block ads if the site ships its own renderer and manages to hide or obscure its traffic. Then you're in to serious application-cracking territory if you want to block ads & tracking.

Some creativity is "cheap entertainment" in the sense that much of it requires little material wealth to engage in, and that might sometimes spur creativity simply out of lack of alternatives. When I lived on next to nothing when I was younger, it was easy to focus on writing because I didn't have money to e.g. go out on the town. Reading back what I wrote, though, a lot of it seemed to be extremely introspective of my situation to the extent that I'd be embarrassed to let anyone read it even if it had been any good.

I grew up in Norway; incidentally, one of the most famous Norwegian novels is the semi-autobiographical "Sult" (literally "Hunger") by Knut Hamsun, describing a young writers descent into madness as the hunger grips him as he wanders around in what is now Oslo.

But I've also seen the flip side, where you spend so much time worrying about money or acquiring a semblance of security that everything else gets pushed aside.
“It is remarkable that mind enters into our awareness of nature on two separate levels. At the highest level, the level of human consciousness, our minds are somehow directly aware of the complicated flow of electrical and chemical patterns in our brains. At the lowest level, the level of single atoms and electrons, the mind of an observer is again involved in the description of events. Between lies the level of molecular biology, where mechanical models are adequate and mind appears to be irrelevant. But I, as a physicist, cannot help suspecting that there is a logical connection between the two ways in which mind appears in my universe. I cannot help thinking that our awareness of our own brains has something to do with the process which we call "observation" in atomic physics. That is to say, I think our consciousness is not just a passive epiphenomenon carried along by the chemical events in our brains, but is an active agent forcing the molecular complexes to make choices between one quantum state and another. In other words, mind is already inherent in every electron, and the processes of human consciousness differ only in degree but not in kind from the processes of choice between quantum states which we call "chance" when they are made by electrons.”
― Freeman Dyson
Actually, Web Components and Shadow DOM bother me more than Web Assembly. You cannot "pierce" into a shadow DOM from the outside and this creates an impenetrable barrier for content blockers. We've already seen examples of whole web pages transformed into a shadow-dom web component.

Basically it's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_generation for disease.

Some of the mitigations would've been effective, but the mechanism was all wrong. It doesn't permit person-to-person transmission, so you could be in a place with "good air" and still be transmitting disease while thinking you can't.
That places the burden on people required to use such assistive technology. I’m sure life as a blind person is already full of obstacles, so we should maybe think twice before actively seeking to build new barriers.

And how does this actually prevent abuse? Wouldn’t malware happily wait 30 seconds and click “yes”? And if the dialog isn’t accessible to the screen reader, doesn’t it then exclude some users entirely?

iOS supports password managers natively. When you focus a password input, the keyboard prompts you to open the password manager. For me it opens BitWarden directly from the keyboard.

Android doesn't support this, so a workaround is to use the accessibility service. The trade-off is having to grant all those permissions. You can also open the app directly and copy-paste, but that's a lot more extra steps. The killer features for password managers are that they're both more secure AND quick/convenient.
By definition OCaml's entire userbase consists of programs that run on a single core, so a 10% regression in single core performance is going to be a pretty hard sell.

Actually I was agreeing with the point that being poor does not impede creative thinking. I agree with your point too that JK Rowling has an extraordinary sucess story.

But then again, we will never know about extremely creative yet poor people who are struggling to make ends meet and wasting their precious mental energy on things others take for granted.

But that does not discredit the original point (to which I was agreeing), that being poor is not an impediment to creativity.

That’s my observation too. When it’s protected, it rots as it yields elites and keeps outsiders out. It becomes a reference point to pseudo intellectuals so they can judge anybody who diverge from this mecca, up until some other place replaces it and becomes a museum.

Early 20s here as well. I struggled with this (and tbh still do) as I never went to school and my coworkers are mostly a decade or two older than me and have families in stuff.

I haven't made any friends like I did back when I was growing up, and tbh I dont think that's very possible anymore.

On the other hand, I do socialize a lot better than I used to and do have some acquaintances I hang out with on occasion. After I moved about four or five months ago, I started to go to a meetup. It wasnt about anything particular (tbh I find many tech meetups boring), and was mainly just about meeting up at a bar or restaurant with other people who lived in the area. From there a lot of people had other groups, interests, etc. and I was able to meet people that had at least some things in common with me.
