I can very much relate to this. I have tended to always be someone that pays attention to these minor details. To me, it is absolutely insane that people don't remember or internalize how they feel regularly. For example, I can tell you with ease that I had a long string of extreme productivity and focus in March lasting until the middle of April which dipped during May and is now peaking again. I can tell you what I believe to have caused it and what also ruined it. Productivity, Energy, sleep quality and overall mood are things I think about daily.

For me developing this skill was a necessity after I encountered frequent headaches from eating and drinking the "wrong" things. I was basically forced to take my awareness of general overall wellbeing up a notch to really figure out what was causing them. Noticing small signs became important to prevent being sidelined from life with a nasty headache.

I have it down pretty well now and there are certain very small, but distinct, signals and feelings that tell me when headaches are coming so I can work to prevent them.

Anecdotal, but I've talked to lots of acquaintances about this and no one seems to understand what I'm talking about. I've also been meditating for 4+ years perhaps that adds to the heightened awareness.

I don't want to say that people are "unconscious" but is sad that many are missing out on a more nuanced experience of life.
Have you considered the idea that what the founding fathers believed is irrelevant?

Just asking, I'm not an american.
Is this the reason why my developer account renewal request has been put in pending for almost a month now? Too many new registrations?
They could be privately supportive of Black Lives Matter, donate to bail funds, spread the word under anonymized accounts, etc. But they might also work/live in a deeply conservative office/neighborhood. Forcing their hand at going public with their support could get them fired, or get their ass kicked the next time they go to the bar or get pulled over by a cop.

And "find another job, then" isn't always practical, especially with marriage+kids+debt.

And yes, you should always ask for consent before making a private reply public.

I'm supportive of Black Lives Matter, but I don't think what OP did was ok.
I don't follow. The charge doesn't seem to be for the visa charge, it's evidently because of the state-sponsored theft of IP.

I too would argue for longer, harsher sentences for foreign spies. Force rival nations to stop or to get better at it.
The real competition is for ad dollars. Facebook has singlehandedly caused the end of the display advertising business which is what most news publications tapped into when they went online. Display spend at most ad agencies are shrinking and that money is being put to social (aka Facebook). That's what the owners and shareholders of media organizations are pissed off at and why they're telling their staff to focus on Facebook..
Steve Jobs was against native apps. If I remember correctly Apple execs had to plead with him to change his mind.
Who is going to fund a company whose business model involves making people hear mysterious voices from on high? Well, I suppose angel investors might.

I went the direct consulting route. [1]

I get to work as a "coder" with a lot of autonomy and without having to do any management type tasks. I attend very few meetings. I'm 0x3A years old and I love still love coding.

Great point. Marketers would be foolish not to use this data and extrapolate especially for something so global.

I wonder if it could also be used for good though...
While i think i'll agree about word processing, assuming there is a split view option, i'm not sure about spreadsheets since you often use those as tables and you may want to have multiple tables visible at the same time.

About multiple screens you are right but a tabbed interface doesn't work with multiple screens either (while having all the other issues i mentioned) and having multiple toplevel windows means you get unnecessary duplication (and hence waste of screen space) of UI for each toplevel window, you have the window switcher (taskbar and alt+tab) "polluted" for each document view, etc which can be very annoying.

And really there is no rule against having multiple MDI host windows (outside of framework limitations - due to LCL inheriting the API from Delphi, the API assumes a single MDI form with multiple MDI clients, but the pure Win32 API doesn't have that limitation nor does Qt's own MDI implementation AFAIK) so you could simply have one of those per screen. Some tabbed interface programs do that (e.g. i think you can open multiple windows in Eclipse).

Though TBH personally i never use multiple screens so i don't know about that.
Apple has control over that, though! They could easily reject applications with overly generic names if that were a concern.
Suppose there's a tool you really like at work. Issue tracker, build system, version control, whatever. At your next job it's missing. You influence the decision about how to fill the gap based on your experience.

Have you stolen intellectual property?

People are pretty open about "I'm planning to work at Google for a year so I can learn how they do things and then take that with me to my startup."

I'm very adverse to subscriptions but not to upgrade pricing, so it is their loss.
Haha it's from the song Still D.R.E. where Dr Dre explains that he's still the same, fame and time haven't changed him. He hasn't gotten soft and decadent. He's still top of his game, still the same guy.

"Still puffing my leafs, still fuck with the beats, still not loving police". "Still rock my khakis with a cuff and a crease".

The sound of your comment came off the same way.
The TC39 minutes are all online [1]. You can see the initial introduction of lookbehind assertions [2], the meeting where they reached stage 3 [3], a status update while waiting for more implementations [4], and then the eventual agreement to move them to stage 4 (full standardization)[5].

They reached that point because: a) everybody agreed that they were a good feature, with precedent in other languages; b) the spec text had been scrutinized by the people who like to spend time scrutinizing spec text; and c) two implementations (Moddable and V8) had successfully implemented them. That's the process, and it was followed to the letter.

Does that put a burden on other engines to keep up? Sure. But that's what we signed up for. The webcompat bug you linked is from April 2020, more than two years after lookbehind assertions were standardized. That's nobody's fault but ours, and we did this project so that we don't end up in a similar situation in the future.

I'm not sure what your source is for JS regexps being impossible to implement from the spec, but if you have specific points of concern, you should open an issue [6]. Writing a spec is hard work, and things get missed, but the people working on this are genuinely trying their best.

(As far as I can tell, Canonicalize is what everybody thought they were implementing. V8 tried to get clever with ICU and ran facefirst into some of the dark corners of Unicode.)

> He was likely suffering from some sort of mental illness

Science Fiction really is a mental illness.

You suspend disbelief, you invent an alternate reality in your mind, and then you walk around in it accepting both the possible and the preposterous in equal measure.

But what a wonderful illness to experience, because someday it might infect others and we might have spaceships or cybertrucks or watch c-beams glitter in the dark near the tannhauser gate.
That seems to imply that all public disagreement about a popular or controversial movement is "public shaming" and thus that you would oppose all such discussion.
Since people are so disappointed with ARM64 video/audio viewing/recording/editing applications, they should write their own and contribute to Linux ARM64 and stop complaining

RISC V on FPGA sucks, I wouldn't use it either
"Poly" people, who maybe number in the tens of thousands, aren't really relevant to the primary discussion - the vast chasm between winners and losers in modern coupling culture - who many number in the tens of millions, and in the hundreds of millions globally.
No, you don't understand science.

Science can define what a sweet taste is, by assigning it to a set of measurements that define the boundaries of sweetness, as a technical term.

Is that sweetness to you? Nobody cares. It's a technical term that you need to accept to participate in the conversation productively.
Incomplete data doesn't need to line up especially when that data never supported 80% of men chasing 20% of the women in the first place. It supported 33% of young men being abstinent and a lesser number of females which is perfectly reasonably congruent with women getting involved with the remaining 67% of younger men and older men.
If you ask me to draw an ampersand and a G-Clef (𝄞), I'll probably render more or less the same thing.

Possibly because in childhood I've drawn several G-Clefs but never ampersands (that I recall), while the opposite has been true later on. I suppose I've just re-purposed whatever motor memory I had for "a kind of infinite-loop G".
A workplace is not supposed to be a debating society.

Thanks for sharing this. This is very needed thing during these times.
Do you have advice on how to keep your intellect intact? Many of my older relatives can barely think through things at 0.1x the speed they had even a decade back, if they even bother to think through anything. However, very old people in academia seemed to remain very sharp well into their seventies (some study suggested that they can be as sharp as a regular 25 yo). I guess it's good to keep reading and constantly use your brain, but any more solid actionable habits might be useful!
No, knowing C++ probably confuses you for a while, it has confused me.
No, the title is a good summary of what the article said.

I could be wrong, but my guess is you are a Trump supporter who wants everyone to believe there is not going to be a second wave of infections and that in the coming months the economy is going to rebound quite wonderfully.

If I am getting you wrong, then please tell us what you do believe.
You must be new to twitter. The whole thing is a solicitation for others to attack.
I think these represent long term issues for the big guys though. I work at a small startup in SE asia, and we do about ~250GB/weekday in mostly PDF traffic which would cost us about $0.12/GB if we just used amazon, but only costs us closer to ~$0.0331/GB because I put another cdn in front of cloudfront (will get closer to ~$0.01/GB if we approached 1TB/weekday in bandwidth).

Hopefully we'll ditch cloudfront and s3 as something like backblaze b2 becomes available in our region.
The "maximum sentence" thing is mostly there for intimidation. The news goes along with it because it's simple and easy, rather than because it's what really happens. The reality is that there's a complex algorithm that judges are required to use that determines the actual length of the sentence. Various factors are each worth a certain number of points, then the points are converted into time in prison.
So they mention a specific law being violated, and the punishment under that law, but "The charge doesn't seem to be for the visa charge"?
Nope, not true. Steve Jobs initially envisioned the iPhone as a device with no 3rd party app support. Even internally, Apple execs at the time had to lobby him to change his mind: https://9to5mac.com/2011/10/21/jobs-original-vision-for-the-...
Men with no money are undatable. Inequality leads to a much larger share of people whose financial resources are woeful.
That's just the statutory maximum. No one is getting that unless it's incredibly egregious and it's not their first conviction.

For a realistic sentence, you'd have to go through the US Sentencing Guidelines and calculate it. News reports never do because you basically have to be a lawyer to do it accurately, it's very complex and not objective.

As a SWAG, I'd think we're talking about less than a year here, given he has no criminal history. Otoh, there might be enhancements due to him being here as an agent of a foreign government.
> politburo saw a cool thing and told the engineeres

There was industrial espionage too. Considering they had the former and political backing, it's surprising how much of a disaster the 144 was - Not least because it was built for a market that didn't exist (comrade) in the Soviet Union, it was a noisy deathtrap. Their western equivalents flew somewhere on the order of a thousand times further (Concordski only did about 100 commercial flights)
Just wait 24 hours. the PLA will kidnap at least 3 US citizens and send them to hellhole prisons - - just like they did against Canadians when the daughter of billionaire Huawei founder Ren Zheng was arrested. Anybody want to bet against me ?
The baggage only needs an infrequent duty cycle, right? Like once an hour should do the trick. I don't think I have to attach a large enough battery that I need to not put it in luggage. If it doesn't work out it doesn't.

For the car I have a ciggy socket.
I’m sure straight white men will survive.
I may be totally off base, but I've heard that spies are generally treated well. That they are mostly traded. That way when our spies are caught they aren't mistreated either. Clearly situations matter and the sensitivity of what was stolen.
Presumably, one could retort that pragmatic practice isn't the optimal practice. Which is to say, if a service could derive authorization without secrets, that would present a smaller security attack surface than one that needed plain or hashed secrets (assuming a risk profile that includes data exfiltration). The service could, for example, outsource that to an oauth provider [0], albiet at the cost of accepting the provider's level of service as it's absolute maximum.

I think what's different now is how many strangers you're exposed to. A century ago, analogues to context-less twitter rage pile-ons were likely smaller and rarer.
> They could be privately supportive of Black Lives Matter...

Of course they could. This person didn't claim anything to the contrary. The complaint was not about the webmaster's personal beliefs, but rather about the webmaster's decision in their capacity as webmaster.

> Forcing their hand at going public with their support could get them fired

The request was to change the website of an open source project, not for the webmaster to personally declare anything about their beliefs. Of course it is possible (though unlikely) that there is some threat to the webmaster's safety or livelihood that would prevent them from taking certain actions regarding the project's website, but in that case, the responsibility over the project's website should probably be more evenly distributed.
> It seems like a feature entirely designed to trick old people.

This. I've experienced this exact problem in helping elders install commonplace apps like Gmail.
You’re not really grokking “mob rule”. “Mob rule” can easily even be putting someone in charge that a majority of people want. The point is that it’s done outside of the legal system.
I didn't read the entire blog post, but from the first few lines I can tell that English is not your native language. It is pretty good, but there are enough mistakes that it stands out.

Plus, the demographic of people graduating with CS/engineering degrees should be really close to your hired demographic, if there’s no bias. These tech companies don’t control the output of those universities, which do have a bias. That bias will change slowly, as well.
who honestly keeps "notes" like this
"How to do research" isn't a state secret. Graduate programs exist for the express purpose of spreading that knowledge around.

It's espionage in the sense that a number of normal behaviors are espionage when you do them as an undisclosed agent of a foreign power, but that's not the "popcorn" kind of spy.
I should have said every device, not platform.

The website is fine. I'm sure it's fine on iOS, too. But it was supposed to be simple to port iOS apps to MacOS, and they didn't bother with their own developer conference app, if only for the reason to lead by example.
Land area is not the appropriate unit. States are the appropriate unit.

Absent the electoral college there would not be a United States of America.
This demo brought back memories of being a teenager in the 90s. Wired magazine with the number of people on the Internet written on the spine, people and companies that saw the Internet as an amazing new medium but didn't know how it would work out but still did it anyway. Crazy ideas that might just work, though many didn't. The lingering fear that the government was going to shut down the Ineternet at any point, but the feeling that there was a community that would fight against that.

Thanks for the flashback :)
PKD wrote a lot of great books really quickly by relying on amphetamines, heavily. This had a major contribution to the far out mental state he was in towards the end of his life, and it's actually quite sad.

I say this as a huge PKD fan. Ubik and A Scanner Darkly both had a profound impact on me.
I don’t work for Apple, so I don’t have any specific knowledge on that issue. I would try reaching them through the official channels, and if that doesn’t work, official Apple Twitter account DM.
Well world has not really changed in thousand years. is it? If one can't sign letter to believe in one true God/Kind, they deserve to die.
I have an analogy for the developer vs manager roles:

"I'd rather drive the race car than manage the race team."
Thing is, when the New York Times was "the newspaper of record", everyone read it. When they only print what will pass muster with the howling mob, for fear of losing their jobs if they offend, then only the howling mob will read it. But the howling mob doesn't have enough members to support the New York Times.

That is, catering to the most vocal segment of the Right Thinkers is a ticket to an ever-shrinking readership, because 1) everyone who isn't a card-carrying member of the Right Thinkers leaves, and 2) the Right Thinkers shrinks as the majority repeatedly throws out people for not being right thinking enough.
This argument was specifically addressed in the source.

'According to court documents, Wang was still employed by the PLA while he was studying in the United States and he made false statements about his military service in his visa application in order to increase the likelihood that he would receive his J1 visa.'

The allegation is that he would not have been on a scientific exchange program had it been clear that it was a scientific exchange with the PLA.
Ok, we'll change to that from https://medianatives.blogspot.com/2020/06/wil-shipley-every-.... Some people may find the latter easier to read though.
Oh I see. Well if it’s “pretty clear” then I guess that’s it then, discussion over.
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the basis for Blade Runner, is really a fantastic novel too. It has been overshadowed by the film, but it’s prediction that organic life would become a status symbol as it was destroyed replaced by Capitalist simulacra seems especially relevant today. I think about it all the time when I see Instagram influencers with hobby farms or children playing Pokémon during our ongoing mass extinctions.
> Intentionally not making a statement is already political. Consider that next time you think of Recoil.

This part right here, pal. Asking is proposing something, and politely accepting whatever answer is given back.

What he said was closer to coercing and appealing to community shaming, which is evidently not professional.
Building facial recognition databases for the NSA is not "staying silent", it's "actively participating".
Sometimes I wonder if answer to all of these problems is to divide lands based on ideology, politics and other factors. People are then given a choice to migrate between them every 5 years or so.

Nations shouldn't be so big and migrating shouldn't be that hard. Just divide and divide until the group of people stop complaining.

Racists can live with racists. Progressives can live with progressives.
Haha incredible. What a story. Love that you managed to use BASIC in production. What a tale.

We had to go to computer lab at school to use the computer. But then my parents spent a fortune on getting us one. Now that I think about it, it was like half a year's rent. Jesus Christ, what were they thinking?!

Mostly played games. But then got a Linux CD from a magazine when I was 13. Wiped the drive accidentally trying to partition it. Disaster. Path to writing code begun.
It's funny, I typically get downvotes wherever I go for suggesting that I want companies like this to be a dumb pipe for my transactions. Everything is political, I was told.

Ah, now the downsides of everything being political become apparent -- when it goes against them.
If the industry doesn’t produce the desired diversity, Apple could always create its own in-house training program. I think that’s a great idea, actually, as long as it’s open to all prospective applicants equally, ideally for no charge to the learner. Even better would be to open it to the public, gratis.
A few months ago someone created an issue to make a change to a readme file in a repo for some code of mine. Wasn’t anything big, was just a personal project. They wanted me to change “the good developer comments his code” to “her code”.

I said “sure, I don’t maintain this code anymore but feel free to pull and submit a MR and I’ll pull it in”. They never did. I eventually forgot about the request entirely-because again: I hadn’t maintained the code in quite some time and honestly I only kept it around as a portfolio item.

Months later a second person came and asked the same thing, along with other various additional changes. I invited them too to pull the code, make the change, and submit a MR.

Neither party ever did. I went into the readme and did a find and replace. Merely feeling charitable. Soon I began getting requests to change it back from “her” to “his” and I just made the repo private. No one had ever forked the code, I never even had any issues opened for anything else since the repo was a single-page website template for a local football club I was hosting on GH pages and easily blends into the sea of other code repos. The only interaction the code ever saw was from people wanting me to change a readme file and otherwise probably didn’t give a damn about the code or the template I had “released”.

I’ve started calling these actors “development provocateurs”.
This is what happens when we let globalist cucks run our institutions. There is no such thing as treason when the loyalty is utopia.
In general this is such a mess. Every four years these topics are framed in a such a divisive manner that the end result is that it rips friends, families and communities apart. I really loathe these times and it's becoming harder to avoid it.
