How to win friends and influence people - It's mentioned here all the time but I think it would have helped get over some of my social anxiety in high school. Maybe this is particular to me but I get the sense that American society doesn't teach kids how to interact with others.

Rather the opposite; it runs an up-to-date Linux kernel and an Alpine user land. An exploit against this would likely work against most servers and/or containers on the net.

Worse is when you know another part of the company is sabotaging what your trying to achieve.

One might call it the right hand competing with the left, but frequently the path forward to the next version/product/whatever is pretty clear, but the existing product teams are well entrenched and of course make all the $$$$, so its a game of politics, and keeping a low profile while trying to gain traction.

Pretty frustrating in many ways. Especially when you start to gain traction, then suddenly groups start to take 1/2 steps, which might have been useful and productive years earlier but now just act subversively.
Webflow is becoming hot. It’s a web design, development, and hosting platform. It’s powerful yet easy to use, IMHO. There are a lot of videos and if you have some experience with web development you should be able to pick up most of it a week. Getting a job using Webflow is dependent on too many things to make a blanket statement. Note: I’m not affiliated with Webflow other than being a customer.

Interesting colour analysis that would be great to see applied to other movies. Minor note -- "Batuo" in the context of GitS is surely "Batou"?
I know this is not answering your question, but...
I strongly recommend against printing code, why?

You lose facilities like: goto source, search/replace, modifications (I might modify/format a piece of code temporarily, to help me understand it better, might rename functions, variables, add lines to visually separate parts of code, etc) and many more.

You re-enforce your discomfort with reading/writing code on the screen. I'm trying to assume different reasons that you might have to learn a code and for all of them that I can imagine, you'll be better off as someone who feels at home with the screen. So I suggest you to resist this temptation and do what you ultimately will do.

Out of curiosity, Is your job/situation/skills in a way that being good with screen will not seriously benefit you? How?

Harvard is selective and exclusionary but it doesn't need to select the objectively best people, it just has to select people that are "good enough". Most of the value of an undergrad degree at Harvard comes from networking rather than the education itself. It's a club.
I've worked 6 years as a PM, last 4 at FANG

Here's some advice, which you are free to take or to leave, (and that's very reasonable since my advice is generic and I can't speak to your exact circumstances)

1) Just start doing it. Don't wait for someone to give you permission to prioritize customer needs. Pick up the phone and call them. Go to a store and watch them shop for your product. Talk to people. When you set OKRs/KPIs, just make them about customer needs. Be the change you want to see. Especially if you have spiritual buy-in from your manager. But your intentions have to be crystal clear on point about wanting what's best for the customer and the business and doing so in a rational way until you earn some social capital. It cannot be interpretable as political or they'll construe it as that and fire you

2) Use bureaucracy jiu-jitsu. Do what you think needs to be done in order to make the customer and the business successful. When someone tries to make you work on their arbitrary BS, give them a form to fill out and tell them it's in your team's triage queue. Make them force you to deprioritize a project which has clear value and then when that happens, make sure you announce loudly to all stakeholders why that project was depriortized and what's going to be implemented instead. If your stakeholders have even 2 braincells, they'll do the pushing back for you - you don't need to do it alone.

Lastly, you can't change an entire culture by yourself. For some places, it's just too late. But if you can find allies who feel the same way you do, you can be the beginning of a large change for your whole org by just being a good example
My use-case is large (1000+ page) datasheets. Fortunately these pdfs tend to come with chapter bookmarks. I also search for keywords and/or just look at the section I'm interested in at the time. I'll often print out key pages. I have also found using a mouse with an infinite scroll wheel (e.g., Logitech M500) to be invaluable.
I'll add that my PineBook is a genuinely _nice_ piece of hardware. People who don't know what it is regularly assume it's some high-end laptop, due to it looking/feeling/behaving nicer that their $1k+ Windows laptop...

I'll admit there's a bit to go still in terms of "ready for mainstream" software, I wouldn't buy one of these for my mom still, but that's pretty much a) linux's problem, and b) _why_ I bought it in the first place... (I've got several MacBooks and iDevices for all the stuff where I'm happy enough with Steve's ghost telling me "You're holding it wrong" when it's not doing things the way I wanted/expected...)
It's great that Tesla keeps increasing the range, but the EPA numbers are ridiculous. I would love to see the EPA range claims for electric vehicles re-standardized to measure:

* at the median driving speed on free-flowing US interstate highways

* during cold weather

* with some hills

* using a medium level typical of drivers of cars of the price range

A car manufacturer particularly focused on realism could publish a two range values; a lower number as described above, an upper EPA number (perfect conditions, low speed).
Doesn't this speak more to the board's astounding foresight than inane projects?

Holy shit this is nuclear. I shy away from hyperbolic statements, but this is front-page news and there will/should be longer-term fallout. This is an example of high-tech corporations using their corporate might to terrorize not just private individuals, but individuals engaged in journalism. The plausible deniability is gone; these were C-suite people and entire departments were involved. NEWS people are going to be all over this at multiple angles: Big-tech uses private data to terrorize, intimidate, and control. When big-tech goes after small-time journalists. Profiles of executives and the fallout for their careers. You can bet there will be a multi-million dollar settlement from eBay. This story has legs.
Maybe they found that SAT/ACT were not good criteria for selecting the best candidates.
Nice piece. Not the main point, but I deeply resonate with the brief aside on in-person meeting: "I sometimes suggest it would be helpful if we all wore banners". There is still low-hanging fruit for software to improve in-person interactions. Much of the small-talk dance is an attempt to find common ground between two people in order to catapult into a deeper conversation or more meaningful relationship. Software could do this.
There's no remote monitoring, they're more complex and expensive. You need either multiple compressors, or run long stretches of hose/pipe.

They're super cool and rewarding to work with, everything feels like steam punk, but there's no real practical reason to keep them there. The electronic stuff is _very_ reliable when installed correctly and quality parts are used, much like the pneumatic systems.

The only place that _might_ make sense to leave them in a little longer is inside a hazardous environment, which requires detailed certification for installed electrical equipment.
It depends on how you define "correct," I suppose. If you're using it as a term of art, or you're a right wing think tank, then the correct term is "illegal alien." [0] It does not actually appear in Federal law, however. [1]

The IRS uses the term "undocumented alien," which is kind of a weird, mixed construction, referring to people as "aliens" (which I always find weird, but, okay), but not "illegal." [2]

Other government agencies, and, yes, immigration advocates, use the term "undocumented immigrant," which has the virtue of both being accurate, and not referring to individuals as "illegal," when the thing that's actually illegal is the fact that they are in the country without authorization (the "undocumented" part).

In summary, "illegal alien" as a term of art: fine in my book, just weird. "Undocumented alien": sure, if you're the IRS. But, otherwise, "undocumented immigrant" is the most technically accurate, because it's not the person who is illegal, as the word "illegal" modifying "immigrant" in the phrase would indicate, but their presence in the country that is illegal.

What about all the nuclear material in the earth itself. Isn’t the dynamo core hot due to radioactivity? We don’t want to affect that...
EPA range is city+highway combined, which isn't really what any most car buyers care about. Range during city driving is irrelevant beyond a point; you're never going to go more than 100 miles per charge. Then the highway test is easy; it never breaks 60 MPH and averages 48 MPH. What most people probably care about is how far you can go between charges when road-tripping, which is really a much more complicated formula involving how quickly you can charge, what the real speed limit is on your local highways, how many high speed chargers are available, etc.
Odd to not see a mention of LINPACK in that paper, when it has reliably produced temperatures exceeding all other stress-testing programs I've tried, as well as uncovered instabilities that others couldn't find. It also turns out to be a very realistic type of benchmark (solving dense systems of linear equations). The paper doesn't predate its use, so I guess the authors just haven't spent much time on overclocking forums...

Second this - always surprised by the skepticism towards Tesla. As you say, they are continuing to push the limits of range and performance despite no other EVs having caught up.

As far as I'm concerned, Tesla wouldn't be selling hundreds of thousands of cars if real people weren't able to meet their real range needs with them. Plus, it only takes driving one to understand the appeal :)
Will Kubernetes Collapse Under the Weight of Its Complexity? (2018)
Thats... unlikely. LSD is not particularly active transdermally (despite it being "well known" that it is), so unless he tasted the crystals... It's also a remarkably unstable molecule for a well-known drug.

And anecdotally, I can say that administering a number of drops from a vial of dissolved LSD did not give me anything remotely approaching a trip.
If it happened like the OP described, they just got lucky, but it could have gone differently. A good (but less than honest) CEO would have colluded with the developer before talking to the customer, both agreeing to upsell an easily implemented feature. However, the mark of a PHB is that he/she will ask for random features while completely misjudging their feasibility -- sometimes you'll get lucky, sometimes you'll crash and burn horribly.
A simple IQ test could separate the weeds from the chaff reasonably reliably. Of course, in these bizarre times, suggesting that an intelligence test influence admission to a top university would have many calling for my head.

The cynic in me says less objective data will allow obscuring nepotism even further, so the universities would be jumping on this opportunity. Synagogue attendance will be more important than ever.

It kinds of does that, because if you start the climate control while plugged in, it'll start drawing from the charger even if charging has already finished.

This is most often seen if you remotely turn on the climate control to warm the car up in the morning, when the car is still plugged in after overnight charging.

> at least have heard the name dBase

Oh man, you just wet my eyes! What a trip into the past!

I wrote my first paid project in dBase in 1982 when noone knew what "computer mouse" was. I answered the ad in newspaper and initially they wanted me to help them organize text files. I told them about dBase and that was my first project - a simple database to manage their parking lots. It was such early days of programming, we had basically zero agreement! Just half piece of paper that they pay me 10% in advance and short list of features to get remaining 90%. And funny thing is - no copyright agreement! So while I made few months of rent for their project, I ended up paying off my first mortgage by just offering the same piece of software to many other parking corps! It was incredible feeling! Like creating money out of thin air - they sponsor my plane/hotel and I just told them what PC (with DOS) I need to be ready. Then in just few hours of installation and training, I was on my way home with nice check. I frankly don't even remember how much it was back then...

Good times!

> Other government agencies, and, yes, immigration advocates, use the term "undocumented immigrant," which has the virtue of both being accurate

“undocumented alien” is arguably more accurate; alien is just a (somewhat dated outside of law) term for a foreigner, “immigrant” has further meaning of seeking to make the country their permanent home, which is not always the case for foreigners present without current documentation of legal presence.
I also think discrimination based on political grounds is a bad idea. In NZ political opinion is protected. Human Rights Act 1993, 21 Prohibited grounds of discrimination (1)(j) "political opinion, which includes the lack of a particular political opinion or any political opinion" [An exception is made for employment of a political nature, see section 31]

I think that's a better situation than the U.S. model which essentially foments society-dividing political warfare by cancelling people from different political viewpoints. It just serves to divide your country even further.

If you disagree, answer me this: Are you okay with the fact that a racist employer can fire you for not being racist enough? Are you okay with the fact that a Christian employer can fire you for supporting LGBT rights.. (they cannot fire you for being gay, but they can fire you for supporing gays)? Are you okay with the fact that an employer can fire you for supporing BLM? If political opinion is not protected, you'd better hope your employer has the same political opinions that you do... or else you'd better stay very quiet (chilling effect).

Discrimination against an arm of the government itself (ICE) seems to me to be an advanced stage symptom of a systemic societal sickness. I have no idea how it will resolve, but I wish you all the best. Hang in there.

> One of the biggest default security improvements with Web Crypto is that *cryption keys are _not readable by JS_ once instantiated - they can only be used by the cryptographic functions (unless you explicitly make them exportable). This is a subtle but very important defense against certain drive-by attacks that could dump loaded keys from whatever non-native JS crypto library you might be using.

That's a really nice feature. This should be better advertised. I wasn't aware that Web Crypto was even a thing.

I've grown tired of continuously defending my inactivity and decisions against trolls on Twitter, the issue tracker, and elsewhere. It's draining and I don't have the patience or energy to deal with it any longer. These same people expect to impose their short-sighted and non-generalized values and goals on a project for which they have contributed nothing and are not willing to maintain. The sense of entitlement from a small but vocal minority that do not understand FOSS and refuse to understand it is very much a concern, and I'm simply not interested in shrugging that off anymore.

> I've heard other ideas like reaching out to a local university, although I'm not sure how that works.

1 ) I guess want you want to look for is research programs that take in volunteers. Those are usually at the cutting edge of what is being done to treat any given condition. Find the mental health institution that is affiliated with your local university, browse and see. I wouldn't let anyone test drugs on me though. Especially if you have an HN brain. But many of the new stuff ( for anxiety anyway ) revolves around psychotherapy variations. Like practicing mindfulness and just variants of CBT ( +/- medication that has been in use for a while and thought to be helpful ).

2 ) Attend a local suport group ( that in of itself can be good ) and you will hear plenty of good and bad stories about good and bad local practitioners. Online forums can't hurt but they may or may not help you find someone in your vicinity.

> say the wrong thing to the wrong person and you'll end up involuntarily committed to a hospital.

True. Those wrong things are limited to instances of imminent harm to self or others AFAIK / IANAL. I guess if you have those sorts of thoughts, you may still consider actually talking about it because, well, you apparently don't actually want to do any of that right ? And which is worse ?

I don't think that flirting with suicidal ideas in of itself would do you in if you spoke about it. I don't think they have the resources to take anyone in anyhow ... if you manage to show that you are ~ well organized ( work, education, activities, friends, a support network ) and downplay how bad of a shape you're in to just below the above threshold, the chances of involuntary commitment are like <= 0.06% ( made up figure )

Additionally, were you to be involuntarily commited, electro-convulsive therapy doesn't follow. It must be a shity situation to be in, but they won't lock you up for 6 months cause you were on the edge. I would still probably try to avoid that though.

Lastly, make sure you try everything else also ; excercise, eating healthy, all that stuff. It turns out it can kick your brain back to ~ normal : )

Hope that helps.

Flash is a good candidate for webassembly as target.

Add updated controls for touch, discourage usage of hover, and compile the flash player to web assembly, targeting animations, ads, etc. Then provide a paid cdn for deliveeing content.

I remember using flash a long time ago, and what i loved most is the way you could do complex animations with such little effort.

Cool! Thanks. Wonder what the jump from 31-40 (ish?) is about
You can, it's how com-rs [0] works and we're co-opting it in vst3-sys [1] for non-Windows targets. It's painful, unsurprisingly. There are some people working on better abstractions, but I hand-coded a VST3 plugin using those macros just for the FFI-safe COM bindings and it is verbose and particularly unsafe [2]

I'm in disagreement with the parent, dynamic dispatch through vtables is only a zero-cost abstraction across FFI boundaries. Personally I'd ballpark about 33% of the value-add of traits are shared interfaces on different types.

The real money is in associated types and trait bounds. The latter is still a serious type-checking requirement at compile time, and the former requires RTTI to support dynamically in some form - both of which have costs at compile and runtime.

All that said, there may be an argument that the features GP is talking about are covered currently by enum variants (many of the use cases one would have for base classes with associated member variables are done that way, for example), and if you could show how performance and ergonomics improved by increasing the semantic complexity of dyn trait objects - you'd have a strong argument to add it to the language. Just my two cents.
