Khrushchev apartments get a lot of bad press, but represent a statist approach to a similar problem: mass housing needs in a hurry, in a post war recovery economy.

I really don't want this to descend into 'private did better' because there are climate differences as well as political and social differences. I think the command economy ran out of the will to succeed.
Hey I think you may have meant respond to another comment. In case you did mean to respond to the comment I put up: I totally agree that there are places that are "very different from the sheltered life of a developed country". I've been to India a few times and have seen a wide range of places in terms of both landscape and wealth.

The purpose of my previous comment is that, depending on how we define "developed" (which is very blurry! Think about the range of wealth within the US or India for example), it's not the case that you need to walk around with body armor everywhere in each country that's not "developed". The parent comment I responded to seemed to imply that "wear body armor and stay in window-less houses" == "life outside of developed countries".

See parent comments/thread for more context. If you see a mistake or if I misunderstood something, please feel free to point it out.
My judgment of Amazon is tainted badly by a bad apple we couldn't fire soon enough - I had the unsavory role to collect evidence for failing the PIP that would inevitably happen. Week after person was let go, he was at Amazon in a pretty good division.

I keep wondering how they hired this person - never in a million years would they have passed a regular hiring chain even with fizzbuzz type questions. Wonder if they had someone stand in for the interviews.

Some people are apparently just not wired to enjoy physical activity. Every single time this topic comes up in a sufficiently large forum, there's an incredible array of responses ranging from "I feel like shit if I skip a workout" to "of course exercise sucks, anybody who says they enjoy it is a psycho, but I do it anyway to look good naked".
That's not true. The hackers made about $100k (assuming everything in the wallet is a real transaction from someone who was scammed), and Twitter's revenue in 2019 was $3.46 billion. Twitter's been posting a profit since 2018.
Actually, on further consideration, you could restrict the ' to only occur where the type parameter is introduced, like so:

List<X> foo(List<'X> inp) =
...
List<X> bar(List<'X> xs) = ... # new X scoped to this declaration
List<X> baz(List<X> xs) = ... # use foo's X
...
So 20 years ago when we "sequenced the human genome", we actually didn't? If you'd asked me whether or not we had a complete sequence of an X chromosome before I saw this I would have said, "Of course we have one, for over 20 years".
Some suggested the admin panel can initiate a password reset, and that, coupled with email management would allow account takeover, effectively (without allowing 'tweet as user' functionality).
What, "aliens" or otherwise "artificial"? Is that the 'commonly understood' implication you mean? It's okay to say it. My question is, is it “commonly understood” or is it merely a convenient and very fun implication to assume?
Related on the history of crowdfunding: I was recently researching a local community group my grandfather was a part of, and I found out that they frequently had "bond drives" [1].

It was really interesting to learn that U.S. bonds, which today we view as a low-risk inflation-beating investment, were actually used not just as an investment but as a representation of American pride.

If they had waited until election day in November it could have tipped the election. This of course assumes that no one else would have found the problem in the meanwhile (difficult to say if that's realistic or not), but yeah ... the potential could be a lot more than "just" ~$110k in scam damage.

I wonder how much of the effect shown in this study, is just an expression of the effect from the other study. Either way, you're diluting away whatever the mysterious "bad stuff" in the aged mouse's plasma is. In this study's case, it's with plasma that is from young, healthy mice, and so which presumably doesn't have the "bad stuff"; in the previous article's case, it's with saline, which obviously cannot have any "bad stuff."
Biden / Obama would fall in that too though?
Aside but relevant:

If you want to give up, tried and failed, keep trying. Every time you make a serious attempt you are more likely to make it stick than the last time you tried. Pick a day a week out, prepare for it do it. Doesn't stick. Repeat.

It's one of the great myths that you can't because you didn't. You can and you're better placed to succeed at it. Do it for some people who love you. Good luck!

That's just how Bitcoin works.

Say you have 1 BTC on an address and you want to send 0.1 to someone, you still need to send all of the money. So wallets "split" the 1 BTC into 0.1 and 0.9 outputs, sending the 0.9 to yourself to another address you control. It's called a change address.

Modern wallets do this automatically, but it can be confusing to look at it on a blockchain explorer.
That arrow doesn't go both ways.

Even if the most determined to cheat people are highly active, I don't think most of the highly active posters are determined to cheat. I think cheaters are a tiny proportion of users.

If people keep creating new accounts, they can't gain any reputation or other social linkages. No karma, no name recognition, nobody knows it's the same person. No continuity, not even a conversation.

Even if new accounts are easy to make, I think that would be unattractive to most people, who are simply participating and happen to post more than others, not being malicious or trying to cheat in any way.

For the few trolls, and advertisers trying to subvert the feed, a different mechanism is needed to keep those down to a manageable level, as has always been the case.

No. The obfuscation of licitly-acquired funds used for illicit purposes is still money laundering.
I’d be surprised if Twitter didn’t have some internal tool like this but I’d expect it to only be accessible over a VPN that few had access to.
In my experience... Reinventing (or rewriting) the wheel is a fun exercise. It’s even more fun to write it in rust (biased). Occasionally, the new wheel is better. Mostly, I learn how some of my assumptions were wrong and/or how I didn’t even account for “this, that, and the other.”

That said, I enjoyed reading through and finding “Edit: I was wrong about X.” Learning experiences all around!

Also, might have been mentioned but is this a typo?

I intended to focus more on the fact that it's not simply just an "anti-Islam" intention.

The fact that there are a plethora of conspiracy theories in the ideology and that it's largely people who identify as Christian or are pro-Christian seem tangential to me.
"Should" not, yes - though it is here, it seems to me.
We're unable to grow our population largely because of that unprecedented wealth. Children are no longer seen as an insurance policy, and young people are better educated, choosier about their partners, and more likely to utilize birth control.

I agree that it is sad that rural areas continue to die out -- I live in an island, so I feel this keenly -- but objectively, is that such a bad thing?

Communities don't have an innate right to exist in perpetuity, and it would be an unsustainable resource nightmare if we tried to keep them all alive.

After all, it's because of rural flight that we have huge tracts of natural parks like Velebit. That's a resource that enriches the commons, even if it came at the cost of some individual welfare. It's also vastly better for the planet.

But I feel I'm missing something. What are some more of the downsides?
Glad you asked. "There is a database and some guy is the DBA" is a very outdated architecture that can get you passing grades as an undergraduate and that's about all its good for. You should not take as a given that the right to modify datastores falls ultimately upon some individual. It is possible to permanently discard this ability, and organizations should strive for that.

I suppose it depends on how you grade the answers. Like I have bad spatial awareness in terms of how big things like planes are. I genuinely don't really have an idea how long a commercial airliner is, or how big a ping pong ball is. I feel like I'd do ok if I could get reasonable approximate values for things like the size of the plane, the balls, the seats, etc. if I also have to supply those values myself the end result is likely to be off

The end result being off is fine if I am being graded based on my thought process, but a disaster if I am being graded at having an idea of the size of airplanes before walking into the interview.
Scientists -> ok, but would prefer to omit that

Discovered -> "Observe" is better

Gigantic Structure -> "Cosmic structure" is better than the subjective "gigantic", as everything cosmic is by definition gigantic and it seems to imply some sort of amazement at its size

So how about "First Observation of Cosmic Structure in Obscured Zone of Space"

Yes, I don't think a company can continue with whiteboard interviews anymore and consider themselves to be treating women fairly in the hiring process.
The ideal fix would to allow tables to store nil values, instead of always treating nil as a "hole". Instead of assigning nil to remove a value, you would call a separate "delete" function or operator. This way there would still be only one table type instead of separate types for tables and arrays.

Some early alpha versions of Lua 5.4 played around with this idea but it turns out that it would break too many things. I'd expect that if Lua ever makes a major jump to Lua 6.0 then nils in tables will likely be one of the main changes.
How to Scram in Postgres with PgBouncer
One of my ex-coworkers/now-friend is what I call a master networker. His network casts wide across the tech departments of a huge number of small hedge funds in NYC. If he wants a job, he can just call up any of his friends/ex-colleagues at these places and odds are several of them will simply just give him a job at their firm. If an opening doesn't exist, sometimes they'll literally create an opening for him.

The downside is that he has to be very un-picky on what the role entails whether it be working with some super unsexy legacy technology (Excel VBA! Legacy ASP.NET webforms!) or doing devops or even helpdesk duty too. Hedge funds being hedge funds, small as they are, they all pay pretty well, though not at the level of a top tech company.

It's a combination of these places being pretty small shops and having friends there in high places. Including, from what I hear, a billionaire hedge fund exec or two.
A couple of points from sexual and reproductive ethics, though by no means exhaustive.

First, we are not owed children. No one has the right to a child. Children are human beings, thus persons, not property. IVF commoditizes human life. The result is an assault on human dignity. If anything, the child has certain rights that the parent owes the child in this regard, among them the right to be conceived by parents who do not view her or him like an object to be produced. Attitudes like these also have pernicious consequences. If the weakest among us are not given basic human respect, then it undermines the foundation for all other human respect (insert your favorite social cause here).

Second, IVF often involves the fertilization of multiple embryos. The result is that the remainder are aborted and thus murdered.

I would discourage people from making use of IVF. I also encourage Khaled to rethink engaging in an immoral business such as this.

There are various lesser known surgical procedures that can increase chances of pregnancy, but putting those aside, sometimes we must accept that we aren’t going to have children. Consider adoption. Furthermore, freezing sperm generally indicates a selfish attitude toward procreation that goes back to my first point. I.e., ask yourself why you’re freezing your sperm. Are you prioritizing something above having children like a career or convenience? Are children being treated as an afterthought? You would be better off having children earlier when you have the energy to raise your children.

Even things such as "Administrative functionality" and "Unrestricted access to data" is "only" $12.5k. It's not a small amount of money, but pretty sure I could make a hell of a lot more with full access to everyone's DMs. Grepping for CCs would be a good start, and "password", and so forth. Never mind that "admin access" might give the ability to send DMs.

> I think there's a space for a new project, which takes LuaJIT as a starting point

Unfortunately, LuaJIT is tightly-coupled to the Lua language and its code is very complex. I'd be surprised if anyone other than Mike Pall was able to retarget it to support a different language.

Also, is JIT compilation really necessary for a scripting language? Projects like the PyPy JIT for Python have seen little adoption, and many platforms (e.g. iOS and game consoles) don't support JIT at all.
> Hawley said "please reach out immediately to the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation and take any necessary measures to secure the site before this breach expands

It's kind of bizarre when you have the highest levels of government doing their critical communication on a free social media service to the point where they are critically dependent on it, then begging for support when things go wrong.

Maybe you shouldn't use a free service that is not under your control or any proper regulatory or quality constraints for your most important messaging to the public then?
Ahh, that explains a bit: let me guess, your modem had a single Ethernet port on it, which you were running directly to your computer?

That means the modem was cloning your device's MAC address onto its own WAN interface. Which is... weird, but would have had some kind of logical motivation.

Maybe it meant the modem vendor didn't have to maintain their own MAC registration ("just copy the device's!"), or maybe it was an ISP "what kinds of devices are our customers using?" kind of thing (the majority of results would have been routers, not single devices). Or maybe this is normal for cable modems (never used cable myself, just ADSL2+).

I tend to use metaphoric gestures a lot by splitting complicated subjects up into groups, and then using gestures to illustrate the group I am discussing at the moment.
I've heard it's technically possible with the protocol, but the way it's typically implemented prevents use with static sites. I'm not sure of the details. I would like to see all the major AP implementations add support for following RSS feeds. That might even be a better way to do it.
I think you're underestimating the savvy of bad faith participants. Even doing that now lets them take control of the narrative and forces you to do twice the work to respond to their poorly worded message. That's time and effort you're not spending moving the conversation in a more productive direction.

I assume everybody reads articles here yo. The authors proposition is spelled out "You say you value free speech and oppose social penalties for bad speech, but your actions show that you don’t. You value free speech for you and people who agree with you and oppose social penalties for expressing things you agree with. You’re open to disagreement on some topics, sure, but when it comes to things that are important to you, social penalties for speech you identify as bad — such as “Bari Weiss sucks” — are not just acceptable, but good, something to be proud of, something to broadcast on a public forum so others know that you did it, encouraging them to do it too." but his arguement is actually my summary.

But then my summary stands when he summarizes: "It's drawing the lines of socially acceptable expression" and claims an angry mob coming after you is indeed what the definition of free expression is and comes with the territory of a free society. My snarky Orwell comment still stands too with his "social penalties" newspeak.

Hanford is a disaster... But just Hanford. Upstream and downstream are both fine. It's a few dozen square miles of contamination that affects people more than it does nature. (Look at the Chernobyl exclusion zone)

I witnessed someone who couldn't code fizzbuzz end up at our company (OK it could have been an acquihire or something) then get fired, and then immediately hired at Amazon at a pretty good office. I always had a nagging doubt this person paid someone to stand in for the interviews. Thinking back, who actually cross checks this kind of stuff? Unless they know each other personally or take DNA/fingerprints it wouldn't be very hard to pull it off.

> all those Twitch streamers see their chats More than 4 seconds after the relevant video has elapsed

Yep! I think Twitch can sometimes be at 4 seconds or less for what it's worth, but yes, that delay is real. It's generally not really noticeable because the communication is totally async; the streamer is doing other stuff, finishing other thoughts, etc, then can get to messages as they see them.

> can you explain what you mean by “stateful”?

Sure! I was talking about what kind of connection is necessary to deliver the video. A lot of real-time video solutions require stateful connections to the client, which means that once the client connects, the connection is kept open, and video data is streamed via that connection. Common examples on the web are things like WebSockets and WebRTC, but it gets really expensive because you basically have to maintain a persistent connection with every single viewer and it makes it impossible (or extremely difficult) to do any kind of meaningful caching.

Stateless connections on the other hand are most of your common HTTP requests. The client asks for a resource, and gets it back. No prior connection setup is required, servers, networks, whatever can change between each request and everything will merrily chug along, which makes it much easier to scale.
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. It's not an unreasonable question/thought.

The heisenberg uncertainty principle says we cannot know both position and momentum perfectly at the same time where I believe your comment is originating from?

In theory, if we perfectly know the quantum information then a system's state is perfectly reproducible (probably not us... ultra aliens?) since no quantum information is ever lost (probably...). To my best understanding, this is the idea of the holographic principle[0].
