Not at the TCP level they don't.

They just give you some bytes. It's up to you to decide whether you have the full message or not and if you want to try to read more. The TCP read functions just give you the data they have. There is no concept of one write at the sender end translating to a complete message at the other end. It's just a stream of bytes.
Thanks. It is rare to have an anonymous internet interaction in which we can both admit where we were wrong.

Ubisoft Sues Apple, Google over Alibaba’s Rainbow Six “Ripoff” “Area F2”
‘Ubisoft Entertainment SA sued Apple Inc. and Google LLC, accusing the companies of selling a ripoff of its popular video game “Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege.”

‘“Area F2,” created by Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd.’s Ejoy.com, is a “near carbon copy” of Rainbow Six: Siege, and that can’t be “seriously be disputed,” Ubisoft said in a complaint filed Friday in federal court in Los Angeles.‘

Added context to original title; added the name of the game in question. Unedited title was:

I found this particular post from a hedge fund owner quite insightful why the the stock market is unlikely to crash spectacularly if things keep going the way they go with the Fed bank-rolling https://medium.com/@dan_60967/devils-advocate-the-bull-case-....

I addressed consumer choice in my first paragraph. Let me expand on that:

There have in fact been successful consumer-led movements, but the most successful of these concern cases where the consumers also happened to be the same people being exploited (colonial India's rejection of dumped British textiles, the Montgomery bus boycott, the Boston tea party, etc).

Cases where consumers have acted en masse on behalf of another exploited class are a lot fewer and weaker. To some extent, one may point to the current growth of organic animal products as an example of this, but even in this case, this has been boosted by consumers seeing these choices (in some cases rightly, in some wrongly) as also healthier for human end consumers besides the question of animal cruelty.

History's guide suggests that while morally-minded consumers can and should vote with their wallets, such personal virtuous choices are largely useless without a larger movement to effect change.

Sure, but other countries too have their own models. If something is one of, say, 20 different models from 20 different organizations, all in reasonable agreement, then isn't "help persuade" ... a good thing?

Even if it's crappy looking code on the surface?

How are "lives lost" measured?

And, wouldn't the Reinhart-Rogoff spreadsheet error also be significant, in how it supported "austerity" policies around the world?

In the 5-whys analysis, a follow-up question might be, why does the UK government depend on academic code for this, rather than having their own full-time/career public health professionals and software developers working on it?

My ill-informed belief is that it's because austerity efforts caused widespread cutbacks in the government's ability to plan for these sorts of contingencies. If so, the Reinhart-Rogoff spreadsheet error is a more devastating software mistake.

I remember being exposed to LISP in the late 80's after coming from Pascal and COBOL in my CS101 (C was a 200-level class.) It was such a complete mindf*ck. After learning procedural language patterns, switching to LISP uprooted everything, and in some cases the patterns were already burned in. In hindsight, I think it makes more sense to learn LISP first, and THEN procedural languages since the latter is a subset of LISP. When C++ appeared, my first thought was, "Hey, someone made C kinda act like LISP/CLOS."
Constant/Regardless Of Lockdown:

- Filling out timesheets and the stress behind the feeling of having to meet a minimum number of hours each month.

Before the lockdown:

- ~2-2.5hr daily total for commute. Includes 20min walk to and from subway, and 40-60min to and from subway ride. Add on the stress of dealing with noise, obnoxious people, putrid smells on the subway, etc and it's especially mentally/emotionally draining.

- Useless meetings that only add to the charade of an organizer trying prove their value/that they are "working". 90% of the time it's a waste of everyone's time.

- Small talk disruptions. Tend to last at a minimum 20min and throw off flow. Not always a negative, as sometimes the conversations can be fun.

- Being targeted by petty politics. FYI, I keep to myself and get my shit done. I don't like getting wrapped up in unnecessary things of the sort. Hard to quantify in terms of time waste, nonetheless it's soul sucking and results in lowering my productivity and me ruminating on ways to leave the company/become self sufficient.

- Office noise. Lowers productivity.

- Indoor air quality/"sick building". Lowers productivity/cognition/health.

- Using personal device for tethered internet access for personal laptop. Slower connection, but is clear of employer's snooping on traffic and communications. And with using my own laptop there's no dealing with sudo/admin restrictions and having to place tickets to packages everytime a package requires permissions.

- Job hunting.

Post Lockdown (much more productive, at ease, and content with work life):

- Giving attention to my overly social, going blind, much loving (though it gets overwhelming lol) street cat.

- Cooking home meals/meal prep

- Checking in on family and loved ones.

- Working on assignments/projects/research/building tools. Not a problem/time waste though. I actually enjoy the work I do and the client projects. The projects are 90% of the the time for the benefit of society. So imo, the work has meaning and it doesn't weigh in my conscience.
Copyright for sound recordings is pretty complicated in the US. Recordings from before 1972 were protected by a variety of state level laws, so even recordings that should be in the public domain, like ones from before 1924, weren't guaranteed to be so until the 2018 Music Modernization Act[1], and even so have a 3 year grace period from when that was enacted. It gets even more confusing for recordings from 1924-1978, when rights holders had to file for copyright and then file for extensions, AND the law has changed numerous times for different dates within that range.[2] So no, it's not really fair to say that 1970's and earlier music is fair game.

You have to weigh costs when talking about benefits. In the case of a small site with static content, you could write it with no JS code at all. The React code arguably makes it DRY and modular and all that, but unnecessarily. Now it's an order of magnitude more complex, with dependencies and a rendering step that don't need to exist at all.

DRY, modular, etc. are not blanket principles that one must honor at all cost, in every circumstance. They are ways to simplify and organize complex code bases. Not making the code base complex in the first place takes first place, though.

Brian Kernighan wrote "Controlling complexity is the essence of computer programming." The best way to control complexity is to eliminate it, and not introduce it in the first place.

If you want extensions in Android mobile browser you can try Yandex (need to first enable through flag and install uncompressed) or Kiwi Browser (last time updated in October but feel free to compile it from source code on github) which can install extensions without jumping through the hoops, they are both better options than buggy Firefox preview.
What's been working for me has been keeping a bottle of skin lotion (Lubriderm has been working well) next to the sink. I wash my hands, dry thoroughly, and apply lotion.

I'm not a dermatologist, however, so consult a medical professional if problems persist.
I sometimes see people stating exactly this, but then writing:

`doSomethingToACar(selectCarById(carId));`

Kind of weakens the argument. I'm not sure what's the best approach, but I'm usually ok with autos even when the type is not explicitly known - when reading code, I do not really need to know what exact type a variable has ("it's a car, goddamnit, it says so in the name!"), just how it's used (and then meaningful function names become very important).
Do you think there would be any effect on the mindset of toilet paper manufacturers if they knew they could raise the price in a shortage? Would they not want to prioritize higher flexibility in production, since they would be able to profit from the higher prices during a shortage?
Yeah, sure. What I have seen a lot when hiring, is "magpie developers". These guys always have the hippest CV - if it's on the HN front page regularly, you bet it's on there.

We found in practice, these people tend not to be the best additions to a team. They are mostly interested in the new thing, and only for so long as it is new. When something new comes along, that's what they want to flock to. They'll be an endless source of rewrite suggestions, but tend to struggle when they need to actually dive in and solve complex problems with these tools.

In contrast, we are not really using Rust because it's the new thing on the block. We are using it because we write complex software that needs to run fast for the business to be viable, and Rust's got the best tradeoffs for that right now. If Rust wasn't a thing, we'd likely be using C++.

True, but it's not zero work, and you must retain sufficient investing expertise to interpret and respond wisely. Maybe "responsibility" is more apt than "job".

And over decades, things change, e.g. GFC and now covid19, world wars etc. I'm not sure, does a bond index protect you? You'll at least need sufficient buffer to ride it out, perhaps several years worth.

I actually have been trying to push not looking at a single IFR. It severely undersells just how dangerous this is to the elderly. And, oddly, significantly oversells how dangerous this is to everyone else.

Responding to customer sales inquiries. I'm a hacker, not a salesperson, but working for startup means I have to switch hats and give a pitch 30% of my week. Why is it a waste? Because I suck at it.

> In the case of a published work, a notice may prevent a defendant in a copyright infringement action from attempting to limit his or her liability for damages or injunctive relief based on an innocent infringement defense.

I think this is the big one. Copyright infringement can be a criminal or civil offense, and the civil offense can be "willful", "ordinary", or just "innocent". The more that a defendant can show that he didn't realize he was violating copyright, the more the offense could be pushed towards ordinary or innocent. A big fat copyright notice makes it hard to make that argument.

> Do you not think the lockdown will cause a huge increase in poverty, homelessness, and starvation?

Perhaps. But that's something that should be quantified and included as part of the risk assessment so that rational decisions can be made. It's also something that can be planned for and mitigated.

It also plays into the idea that the economy is "shutdown" or that there is a universal "lockdown" happening or that the economy needs to be "reopened" because it is no longer producing anything at all. Large parts of the economy didn't have to (and did not) shut down and they have continued full-steam ahead.
Next to no unit or local testing.

It's a Java monolith multiple teams work on at once and someone several steps removed from our team decided to set maven-surefire-plugin to fork for every test and not reuse forks in the POM all our projects inherit from in 2014. That causes a ~1s delay per test (even @Ignore'd ones) where they used to take less close to a millisecond, and I've tracked down the "business exception" commits in our projects that came in the months after that disabled the test phase entirely, in order to overcome the build time delay. The rest is history. Now we've got projects where 98% of the tests laying about in the repo are dysfunctional lies.

Couple that with using Spring across multiple independently built modules multiple teams commit to and you're looking at one or more hours between committing a change and finding out whether or not the latest build deployed to an environment successfully starts so you can test your change.

Back in the early 00’s I worked for a tiny web design agency that mainly did e-commerce (Yahoo Store, post-Viaweb). As you might imagine the first week or so of January was sleepy, people are coming back to work, sales are low, nobody is going to add new products or want changes for a while.

But, people were very keen on getting their copyright notices updated with the new year. It was a welcome trickle of revenue to spend an hour going in and updating it.

Just about everyone agreed that it was pointless, but they still wanted it done.
This article confuses me though: aren’t almost all of these programs relying on direct deposit information? That is, how do you as a scammer use just the SSN and get the money out? Are unemployment funds arbitrarily re-routable? (Multiple people in the story got confirmation paperwork in the mail, but if they’re allowing “sure, enter any bank account for the ACH transfer” that seems surprising).

The article also has this at the end:

> The state has also implemented a two-day delay in payments to give workers more time to vet the claims.

Which seems to just attempt to solve this via “No, I didn’t apply for this”. I get allowing people to say “I’d prefer it go to this account, rather than a paper check”. But you’d also want to do verification for that, the same way you should be more suspicious if someone suddenly: changes their email address, changes their account information, attempts a massive withdrawal...

The prosody sounds nice. But two of the longer samples have a lot of vocal fry, and the third sounds like the voice has a stuffy nose and/or a slight lisp. I wonder whether those mannerisms were chosen to camouflage artifacts inherent in their current implementation.
The study was thoroughly flawed at the most basic levels of sampling and analysis. The article supposes that the authors of this flawed study did what they did because of who they knew and what the political implications of their published results might be. That is a conspiracy theory and it is presented for emotional impact which makes it clickbait.

Meanwhile increased testing is showing increased numbers in the population who are infected with only minor if any symptoms. This has major implications for public health and correct policy, but what is being asserted is that anything that causes a change to the overall mortality rate is likely about politics.

Michele Sindona (Italian: [miˈkɛːle sinˈdoːna]; May 8, 1920 – March 22, 1986) was an Italian banker and convicted felon. Known in banking circles as "The Shark", Sindona was a member of Propaganda Due (#0501),[1] a secret lodge of Italian Freemasonry, and had clear connections to the Sicilian Mafia. He was fatally poisoned in prison while serving a life sentence for the murder of lawyer Giorgio Ambrosoli.
