> zero maintenance kitchen knife

First, use a wooden cutting board. Or soft plastic.

Ceramic knives (Kyocera) are harder and more wear resistant than any steel can be, but they're also brittle. The edge can chip if you hit anything hard. You can't cut bones or crusty bread. Don't hit it against any hard object by accident. Don't twist or bend. You could get several years of use out of it, but when it wears out and gets dull, you'd need diamond files to sharpen it.

European chef knives are softer steel (56 to 58 hardness in Rockwell scale), but they are not brittle. Wusthof is a premium brand. The Victorinox Fibrox is very good value at about $40. The steel will bend and give in, but not chip. If you use a honing rod weekly and sharpen every couple of months, you can always have a nice sharp knife. A single 1000 grit sharpening stone like Shapton should suffice, but not everyone wants to learn hand sharpening. You can also use a pull-through sharpener, some are ok but some are just bad. A skilled hand sharpening will produce a finer edge, though.

Then there is a whole world of Japanese chef knives, called gyutos. Rockwell hardness is usually from 61 to 64. They are thinner, lighter, nimbler and sharper than Western style knives, but the steel is so hard that it can be brittle. Hard steel can be sharpened to a small angle to get a very sharp knife, but if you hit a hard object the edge will chip. Slicing vegetables is just a breeze. Honing rod might also damage the edge, unless you apply very light touch. Pull-through sharpeners might destroy the edge. Some "super steels" are very wear resistant so they stay sharp for months, but wear resistance also makes it more laborious to sharpen them.

Except, no. As a startup you are absolutely not going to get the contract to create a new unemployment web site for a government. Even aside from the bidding process that is deliberately set up to exclude small players any responsible government wouldn't go with you anyway: what happens in five years time when your startup has shut down (or complete it's Wonderful Journey with an acquisition) and the site stops working?
the codebase is beatiful, however this is a nasty gem: https://github.com/zulip/zulip/blob/2374e25b941977e95493ebe4.... if it was me, I would've broken that into at least 3 models

> I believe Cunard (part of Carnival) operates the Queen Mary 2, the last running ocean liner on Earth. It does Southampton to New York via traditional Atlantic crossing, just like the Titanic (almost) did. Not sure if it makes money, but (pre-pandemic) it was likely subsidized by other cruise ships or by QM2 cruising herself.

I doubt it's subsidized, given how expensive it is. I'm not sure what distinction you're drawing between "cruise ship" and "ocean liner" - I guess in theory the QM2 runs to a timetable while cruise ships run to ad-hoc charter schedules, but in practice those cruise schedules are set years in advance and that timetable can be changed on fairly short notice. When I looked into a round-the-world trip it didn't seem like e.g. Vancouver-Hawaii was going to be any harder than NY-Southampton - in both cases you look at the schedule and book your trip months in advance.

The QM2 is a luxury service but it's not just for enthusiasts - there are plenty of people who can't or don't want to fly, and are willing to pay the price.
Using PPP values instead of real values to compare countries is mathematically incorrect, by definition.
That's the fifth "reason" listed in the article.
That is an orthogonal concern. We should hold people accountable harassment. But I don't see the need to put someone in a position where they are likely to be harassed. The upsides of putting someones name out there seem tiny and the downsides are obvious, so why do it?
With all the data breaches by private companies, it's never a good idea to reveal pii to companies. To book a hotel room you will need some combination of

1. email

2. phone #

3. address

4. cc#

5. a physical drivers license/gov ID to show at desk

6. physical credit card

Is there an identity protection or proxy service that sits in front of all of these things that generates all the necessary information? It would generate a working CC# tied to a different address, a temporary phone # and a temporary email all at once.

Is the best course of action for now to fill out false information? I'm curious if there are people who actually do more than generate temp-mail for forced signups.
I'm in the midst of moving a website from mediawiki to a bespoke solution for hosting the data which will enforce structure on what's being presented. In the process, URLs will change, but, part of the migration is setting things up so that, for example, if someone goes to http://www.rejectionwiki.com/index.php?title=Acumen they will be redirected automatically to http://www.rejectionwiki.com/j/acumen so old links will always work. This seems a minimal level of backwards compatibility (although I wonder if there is any specific protocol for how to implement this that will keep search engine mojo—but not a lot because the site gets most of its traffic from word of mouth between users).
People keep saying it could have started a war. Excuse me for being naive but come on—really? This is total sensationalism. What party wouldn’t verify something on twitter through diplomatic channels before going to war?

That is nice in theory, but in practice stuff like archive.org are vital. If you see a document you want to refer to later, you need to archive it, either in a personal archive or via archive.org.

There are too many moving parts to trust that even domain names will be the same. See geocities and tumblr for recent example. If you want a document, you should have archived it.
> People have business reasons to make trips that can't feasibly be made any other way. There was a lot of demand pre-COVID for air travel for a reason.

Maybe. I think we've seen that a lot of those business trips weren't actually necessary as such, and were more about making an expensive signal of commitment.
More directly to your question, for a giganto consulting shop like Deloitte, the tech stack is whatever the client wants. They have people for everything. They'll also lie and say they have people for anything they don't have, then outsource it again. Even in the hyper-niche field I was working in, we weren't the only team in the company working in that field. Do not underestimate how little the left hand knows what the right is doing in a partnership-organized company. The people I worked with in my niche were some of the best people in the world at that work. The failure to deliver projects was 100% a problem of management.

Deloitte has so many fingers in so many pies that you literally spend two, separate weeks every year letting them paw through your financials to see what stocks you and your spouse own, what business interests you have, to make sure there is no supposed "conflict of interest". It never came up for me, but theoretically I could have been barred from working on any particular project if, say, my wife's 401(k) had an index fund that had stock in the client company.
I am a web archivist with an archival project on Svalbard that predates this GitHub initiative.

Additionally, large-scale github-specific projects like https://gharchive.org (formerly GitHub Archive) have existed for some time.

In my experience, code is more likely than not to be preserved in a stale revision, if at all.

The most common forms of preservation are (a) simple tarballing and (b) git bundles.
Sounds like a place I would like to work.
The people who can’t perform labor worth more than a few dollars an hour.
Out of curiosity.. “the people who acted on partial information” who you say you would hold accountable. Does that include the people who chose to publicly dox him based upon an incorrect identification?
>Of course, insider trading among well connected hedge fund managers and our unaccountable financial elite is indeed pervasive and goes by without being prosecuted all the time

And a lot of those non-prosecutions involve either (a) civil fines, (b) the compliance department censuring or firing the relevant employee, or (c) the Feds backing down from a fight with a big white shoe defense firm. None of that applies to these Twitter hackers.
GitHub is working with both? Very chilling.
Mine starts beeping at 93% (if I hold my breath for as long as I can it drops to around 92%). My level does rebound again after a few seconds. 85%, sounds a bit low, not totally incredulous though.
You may think you're communicating friendly appreciation when you send a complementary message about someone to their manager with them cc-ed, but the message that you're also sending is that you're the sort of person who thinks it's okay to talk to people's managers about them, and you run a very real risk of losing your peers' trust.
No, for the application layer. Think like Rails/Django but a lot more features specific to integrating in an enterprise environment and process management.
A power law distribution is the expected organic distribution of income and wealth, due to the nature of scale free networks. Only in the presence of massive distortion is that distribution likely to collapse at current technology levels.
It's hard to do an apples to apples comparison as the A380 was one of the few (only) modern planes to feature a first class.

To compare across the same airline, SIA long-haul configuration for the A350-900 is 253 pax in 3-class vs 443 in 4-class for the A380, so the A350-900 is carrying 40% fewer people and 1 less class.

Even against the most modern aircraft the A380's fuel consumption per pax per unit distance is likely to be competitive, the problem is filling the thing with people.
I once blew a bunch of frequent flyer miles for SFO-HKG on Cathay Pacific, first class, the pair of seats in the 747 nose with several windows each. It was glorious.
I wish operating systems managed files in a similar way. Ideally filesystems would be tag-based [1] rather than hierarchy-based. This would make hyperlinks between my own personal documents much easier and time-resistant as my preferences for file organization change.

> Historical note: At the end of the 20th century when this was written, "cool" was an epithet of approval particularly among young, indicating trendiness, quality, or appropriateness. In the rush to stake our DNS territory involved the choice of domain name and URI path were sometimes directed more toward apparent "coolness" than toward usefulness or longevity. This note is an attempt to redirect the energy behind the quest for coolness.

It's 2020 and "cool" still has that same meaning, as an informal positive epithet. I believe "cool" is the longest surviving informal positive epithet in the English language.

"Cool" has been cool since the 1920s, and it's still cool today. "Cool" has outlived "hip," "happening," "groovy," "fresh," "dope," "swell," "funky," "bad," "clutch," "epic," "fat," "primo," "radical," "bodacious," "sweet," "ace," "bitchin'," "smooth," and "fly."

My daughter says things are "cool." I predict that her children will say "cool," too.

Isn't that cool?
Former research engineer (intern) at a pulse oximiter company.

This was about 18 years ago, so the details are shaky.

Yes, this is likely the probe calibrating itself. Recall that the SpO2 is based on the ratio of two measurements. From TFA, you can see that the absorption in the IR is pretty flat, so the IR LEDs don't need to be known with much accuracy - and the IR LEDs you buy are also generally in narrow tolerances because of the telecom industry using them for fiber too. But on the Red side you have a steep slope for one of the spectra, that means that you need to have a better understanding of the wavelength of red LED you're using.

But you know where you get red LEDs? Cheaply? From traffic light manufacturers. In bulk. Apparently it's much cheaper to buy LEDs in huge quantities and pay in intern to develop a measurement device to test every single LED to determine the wavelength. (And probably sell the rest back into the traffic light supply chain.)

Even after that, the red LEDs wavelength was very dependent on temperature (your finger warms it up, for example) and even the current coming in from the probe.

I never worked on the FDA approved code, but there was a bunch of pre-processing put into the sensor to determine the red LED wavelength and make calibration changes before the signal got downstream to the main instrument.

I'm sure any pulse oximiter you buy off of Amazon doesn't go through the calibration that the FDA approved ones do.

Fun fact. As an intern when you're poor, it sounds like a good idea to do calibration studies: they put pulse oximiters on every finger and your earlobes and then have a nurse administer air to you and slowly bring your SpO2 down to 70% while watching the response of the sensors. Talk about light headed! And then they take the mask off and you pop back up to about 95% (our office was a 5000 feet, not sea level) in a minute or two. Fun and you get a $50 gift certificate.
The state-controlled CPB exerts significant influence via funding and the FCC via regulatory reach. This isn't theoretical. Whether that's "direct" control or not is in the eye of the beholder, but people have accused media in other countries of being not independent under similar circumstances.

Personally I think anyone can live in their own fiction as long as they are not hurting anyone else, but to consider a strategic resource like the media as being truly independent in any country is naive. You're literally missing an entire world if you do not look outside your home country.
How would that help be able to predict the page urls?
The lawyer
I've discovered this way of looking at work as well, though I apply it more to outside of work personally. It really amazes me how much gets done when I decide "just do it for a chapter or two" or whatever the measurement is.
Are people surprised by this? This happened also over two years ago during Hurricane Maria where the contractor failed to supply food to Puerto Rico.

The reality is that all consulting firms are trash. From big to small. They pay their employees far less than working direct and abuse foreign workers looking for a good career. They don't care about the product or the people they work with. I used to work as a contractor and the people I worked with was fantastic, but what I saw from the larger companies and the way they treated their work was awful. The incentives are just not aligned properly because the higher-ups only care about prolonging contracts and siphoning more money, not about actual quality.

For the government we'd be in a better place if they just hired people directly rather than going through contracting firms to play telephone and get a non-working product out of it.
The Rust section is missing the various Cell types, they’d help here, depending.
Baby bullet.
>When Musk posted a tweet 'joking' about taking Tesla private, which was utterly trivial to investigate, the SEC only managed to deliver a slap on the wrist.

Because prosecuting Elon Musk requires going up against top tier defense lawyers and proving things like "Musk tweeted this with the intention of impacting his stock's value" or something.

With hackers, you can use the financial stuff to target the hackers, and then either (a) prove the computer crimes or (b) use the computer crimes and the surrounding stock sales to prove intent. You also don't have to go up against a legal defense better funded than some militaries.
So you contend that the ~7x delta in unemployment benefit uptake between states that they start the video with is... solely due to bad Deloitte software? That seems no less suspicious to me.
Content-addressing helps a ton. I wish links on the web, especially, had been automatically content-addressed from the start. Would have helped a bunch with caching infrastructure and fighting link-rot. Oh well.

Does make updating more awkward, and you still need some system of mapping the addresses to friendly names.
Which platform doesn't have issues? I am sure if you go check discourse's official forum, you will see it has its fair share of problems and shortcomings too.

I just did a quick search and found that there is a plugin called advanced shipment tracking for woocommece which seems to be free and gets the job done(i am sure it has a paid version too but the free one seems to be good enough, judging from the reviews)

Also e-commerce site owners are entrepreneurs and the primary goal of any e-commerce site is to make money. The primary goal of a discourse forum isnt making money. E-commerce owners are more likely to invest in tools that help them grow their business, unlike someone who runs a forum, where there might not be such a motivation.
Internal networks only accessible via VPN is considered an anti-pattern now in terms of security. It puts authorization firmly on the VPN. If the account with VPN access is compromised, then the attacker has full access to these sensitive systems.

This hack probably underscores the importance of zero trust. Although if the system is compromised from within (like this hack is) then there is not much you can do.

1) don't know how much I trust the stuff from Amazon - see my earlier comment above about working at a pulse oximiter company and all the calibration tests we did.

2) while being an intern and sitting alone in my cube, I had dozen of test meters just sitting there and when I got bored I'd do the same thing and try to get it as low as I could by holding my breath and then snap back up. Our office is at 5000 feet so 95% is normal for healthy folks, I could get down to 85 or so and then hyperventilate back to 97% or so pretty quickly.
Holding your breath until you really want to gasp in will surely see the level drop, certainly before you start to go dizzy.
There are plenty of opportunities in the government for small businesses, mandated by law. Learn how to team to go after contracts and look into the SBIR open topic. It isn't easy and takes patience, humbleness, and work but the payoff is long term reccuring revenue from a customer that always pays.
I found ssris to be a prison. A profound spiritual stasis. They cut me off from myself. They muted my emotions so instead of learning to deal with them I stayed passive and simply ignored them. When I got off of them I spent quite awhile learning who I was and how to live with myself. I have come a long way as a person and I wonder if that change wouldn't have taken place sooner had I not taken them.

It seems that lots of very smart people take these drugs and I wonder how many are emotionally and spiritually stunted by them.
The solution is that we stop pretending that large projects are a good idea, that technology for the connected world is set-and-forget and having a ton of layers of people is a good idea. Because none of those things help.
If you think that's bad. I did my code submission tested the crap out of it. Then found out that the person "couldn't run it". We had a back and forth conversation about it. I even created a docker test bed with the right environment.

mvn clean package worked.

Turns out the guy was running mvn exec:java.

Sadly my eyes are too small to actually track the pupils. I remember when I got my ID, the lady taking the picture said "Sir, please open your eyes". I looked at her and asked "They are open... you don't see that?" She laughed and asked if I had been smoking. :/
Ya you disable and invalidate all credentials for the user. There's a reason IT usually has prior knowledge of any hiring/firing/leaving.
When I was a freshman at Caltech in 1969, a few of us took some fake psilocybin one evening and were looking for something to do.

We found out that there was a brand new 747 parked at LAX, one of the first off the line. It wasn't in passenger service yet, but it was open for anyone to take a self guided tour!

So we ran down there and wandered around the 747, visited the cockpit and everywhere and went up and down the staircase a few times.

I'd been on airplanes before, but never one with a spiral staircase. It was awesome!
Probably more likely we'll find extremophiles like these at those locations.

A $100k windfall income would have to be explained to tax authorities in most places won't it?

Taking it as hard cash sounds risky or laborious. Taking it to a bank account will trigger red flags. A story will have to be told that makes sense and holds up.

Converting it slowly over years is an option, but I'd put that in the 'hard' category especially if you keep doing this and sending the balance up.
But what about Apple's end-to-end encrypted messaging?
Autodesk Revit 2020. Although it does have it's quirks, it is a very powerful modeling program.
That's right, I recall something like that. I think states administer their own unemployment system even though it's mandated by the federal government. It's a payroll tax where I live. It's calculated based on your wages and paid based on the amount of insurance you've funded regardless of whether the regulations/company decides to display it on the calculation or not. It might also get buried under something like "state and local taxes," too.
Whoa! 12kW?? Just from RAM? I didn't realize RAM drew so much power.
Like others said, every corporate windows network uses windows domain controllers as primary DNS resolvers. I wanted to add that, as computers are added to AD, you get a PTR record automatically in windows. If you have even a medium size network where new computers get added all the time, it would be a pain to autocreate their PTR records in bind. Also, for forwarders, I've seen DC's do full on recursive resolution themselves but when you need a forwarder you would ideally use a commercial solution that probably uses bind internally instead of rolling your own Linux bind server(typically)
Pretty sweet, but I'd disagree that all of those epithets have been "outlived".
The only other system I can recall is usually for things like sales. Where you have a fixed salary and commission-driven bonuses based on your numbers that quarter.

Of course, sales is easier to compare 1:1.

And I've always thought that hard targets would be more stressful than stack-ranking.
