Just quietly, many of us find this view that "the russians did it" pretty comical.

Putin must have killed George Floyd and videoed it. Why else would anyone be bothered by anything?

But yeah, Hillary says "The Russians" rather than she was beaten because her brand of Washington insider corruption is stunningly electorally unpopular. People buy it. Her faction has kept control of the Deomcrat party and that's a well they keep on going back to succesfully. The mind boggles.

Remember the "Putin puttin' bounties on US soldiers!!" story, it's only a week or two ago. It was huge. It focused politicans with a great justification for stopping the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.

It's now been as exposed as vapor-news.

You can loathe Trump among many, many other things and still look at the "Russians under the Bed" and ask questions about whether the CIA and FBI are playing domestic politics in ways they should not be. In ways that are more dangerous to freedom in the USA than any foreign adversary could be.

Needless to say there's no WMD in Iraq either. Maybe Putin hid those too. Why not? People seem to believe anything when you use Putin as the scapegoat. In all truth, he does actually seem to be as horrible a human being as Saddam was.

So if we're going there let's go. Hilary Clinton and the establishment democrats are all, just like the establishment Republicans a Putin plot to undermine freedom by making americans give up on cleaning up the endemic Washington corruption. That corruption is about the only thing to which the USA really is vulnerable. So yeah, blaming everying on the Russians is really doing Putin's work for him. Putin wants you to blame him for everything with no evidence as a distraction. You're doing Putin's work by doing it. :S

I'm getting back into the Zettelkasten note-taking technique which is like a tech-agnostic wiki system (it was originally implemented using physical cards). I originally tried a personal wiki but it was just more tech overhead than I cared to deal with. Plain markdown files with zettelkasten are doing it for me now. Zettlr adds some nice features like adding an easy ability to tag files (just hashtags in the markdown) and search files by tags. It all feels more freeform/lightweight than a wiki server.
Portability isn't the holy grail. To create working products, a lot of other things are important too.
> If you want to succeed in software you need to do what is most popular which largely follows innate human behavior

I totally disagree. Many of the most valuable, respected, and successful software engineers I've encountered have evinced deep distrust of what is currently popular in the field. Their avoidance of (and advocacy for continued avoidance of) new/trendy software fads, particularly on the frontend, enabled excellent engineering, and instilled a powerful attitude of pragmatism and productivity among their colleagues.

It's anecdata so take it with a grain, but in organizations big and small I've observed that some of the most successful and capable engineers are distinguished by antipathy towards popularity-driven engineering.

I am color blind, and some of the examples here just didn’t work for me. Even normal syntax highlighting is of limited value, and I need to tweak color schemes.

Also, FWIW, I completed MIT’s Intro to Programming with Python on edX before I took CS50, and recommend that learners get a decent grasp of programming principles with a higher-level language (spending a week with Scratch doesn’t really count) before diving into C with its pointers, manual memory management, etc.
I'm not sure I totally buy this argument - the logic being that teenagers are only employed because employers can get away with paying them less due to lack of tax. But there are already lower minimum wages for these ages, so it'd still be cheaper than hiring older employees. Plus a lot of these jobs would be part time, so could potentially result in an income lower than the personal allowance (currently £12.5k) and be tax-free anyway
This is good reply. Can you shed some light on what apart from coddling can help a baby sleep? Is there a way to try and make the baby pick up that skill, like you've mentioned here?

“The supreme court has said President Obama could [choose not to] enforce immigration laws for about 2 million cases. And why can’t the Trump administration do something similar with immigration – create its own … program, but it could do it in areas beyond that, like healthcare, tax policy, criminal justice, inner city policy. I talked to them a fair amount about cities, because of the disorder.”

This is the slippery slope coming into play. The Supreme Court says it’s okay for Obama as the President to ignore the law. It was popular as it was pro-immigrants. Now Trump can do the same.
That's a cheat code.

Its actually the other way around, some airlines have their own system, but most use some sort of GDS.

i.e. even when you make a booking directly with one of the airlines above mentioned, the entire PNR is still created and used in a GDS.

Even when you use Farelogix (for LH NDC bookings for example) the entire PNR also gets created in AMA. When you want to make changes in the LH PNR that FLX does not support yet, you still have to make the changes in the AMA PNR.
Conversely that is exactly why this kind of threat is important to address. There will always be bad actors looking to attack. It could be Russia, a none state actor, or any of hundreds of other players. If we are vulnerable then that is a problem.

Also the UK is a nuclear power with a history of power projection. That makes it different to a lot of those other countries.

Some years ago I was tested HSV2 positive and ever since then i have been taking different kinds of medicine but yet no improvement until i saw testimonies on the internet of how Dr.Isai has been curing different people from different kinds of diseases, immediately i contacted him. After our discussion he prepared the medicine and send it to me, which i received and took according to his instructions. Now my doctor just confirmed me HSV2 negative. My heart is so filled with joy, thank you so much Dr.Isai for curing me. If you are reading this and you are suffering from HSV or any other disease you can contact Dr.Isai on this Email address: drisaiherbalcenter@gmail.com or you whatsapp him on +2349034352176.

It's certainly a critique of the AGPL. I was just rather shocked to see the AGPL here, of all places. It doesn't make any sense, and it puts me off of considering it as a general free software DAW, and more in the same category as the proprietary plug-ins that I use (because there's no FOSS alternative). I'll use them, but not consider them a community project I can contribute to.

It may not be obvious how the AGPL would impact your ability to use a DAW, but it does. Just two days ago I was at band practice with a band I play in, and we decided that for one song the guitarist, who didn't have a part on it, would play a synth running on my computer, via a MIDI keyboard. That's a computer network by most definitions. That means the guitarist is now a user of the software on my computer. I was using Carla (LGPLed) as a plug-in host, but had I been using this instead, I would've been obligated to inform him of the fact and offer the source code.

In other words, this means I would never consider using this DAW in a live environment with any external interaction at all (no inputs other than my own, that includes no microphones or analog inputs that might pick up third party signals), lest I become legally obligated to start explaining what I'm running and where to get the source to everyone around me.

Now I bet the authors of this software didn't think of such use cases and don't care about them - and this is why the AGPL is evil, because it encroaches on users' rights well beyond you might think at first glance.
It puzzles me too. I think that portability and the ability to use the same text-based tools even though you use different languages are the best reasons for sticking with text.
Don’t be so quick to assume you have any idea how these things actually work, and what is or isn’t possible. None of the examples that you are running through would facilitate this type of thing.
Biological structures are very efficient, having been refined by many millions of years of evolution, but in absolute terms they are not especially strong or hearty. Wood for example is a great building material for many cases, but a wooden beam is never going to compare to a steel girder. While you probably could make most things through some sufficiently convoluted biological manipulation, any high tech civilization would recognize that there are much easier ways to achieve the same goal. Any advanced civilization would inevitably be composed of beings who evolved to be intelligent, and evolution would inevitably favor those who use their intelligence to choose simple and effective solutions to their problems. Any civilization that actually arose naturally would - in broad strokes - look similar to ours because they are governed by the same forces of nature as ours.

The only exception would be if for some reason they could not follow our path of technological development. For example if a marine species developed intelligence, they obviously could not easily utilize fire, which in turn would make any advancements in metallurgy nearly impossible. If you can't readily smelt large amounts of steel, of course you can't produce large quantities of reinforced concrete. Under such a circumstance, biological manipulation may be the only way to produce many things we take for granted. However this would require the devlopment of biological manipulation technologies without utilizing those other "conventional" technologies, which very likely isn't possible in practice.

We have the ability to handle MFA logins that use email as the second factor. The way it works is you configure your user account to have an email address that we control (e.g. foo@account-randomchars.email.reflect.run). When the multi-factor challenge comes in, we receive the email, parse it for the challenge code, and fill it in live in your test. We don't have SMS support at the moment but we could take a similar approach there if SMS is used as a second factor. There's a one-time setup here where we set up our system to parse your challenge email.

No support for TOTP unfortunately, but if the SMS or email-based challenge support would work for you feel free to reach out and I can talk to the specifics of the one-time setup - todd at reflect dot run
They are listed for those prices, but those listings have been around for a while; the $650 one has been listed for at least 2 months, the $800 one for at least 8 months, and neither is sold. It would be more informative to find listings where the can actually got sold, there's no evidence here that people are willing to pay $650-800 for these (in fact, I'd say there is evidence to the contrary)

I'd rather invite them to read the original Roland Barthe's essay (1967), which has that same title. Additionally, one can read New Criticism's authors on what they called the "intentional fallacy".

> Your abstraction leaks in that memory layout actually matters for performance, for example.

There are cache-aware abstractions if your situation warrants them. Of course if you abstract over a detail then you lose control over that detail. But that's not the same as a leak, and it's the very essence of programming at all; if the program needs to behave differently every time it runs, then creating a useful program is impossible.

> Or if you have a bad RAM chip.

That's another example of what I said about garbage in, garbage out. The fault isn't in the abstraction, the fault is the bad RAM chip. If you were manually managing all your memory addresses then a bad RAM chip would still present the same problem.

I agree with you in the sense that the reporting is insular, holier than thou, faux shock, and silence about our own activities, turning a blind eye, pretense - the reports themselves interference in our perceptions, from our own side - "weapons of mass destruction". Also tedious the way it gets turned into a left vs right weapon - "they won - it was the russians!". Also, it's about as surprising and informative as chickens laying eggs. Actually, I was going to see your point of view, but then argue against it, claiming it's good to be kept up to date, but now I just agree with you.
This has to be a joke. Rioters were setting fire to federal buildings. Federal agents arrested them. That’s how things work. You really need a sobering look at history if you think this is anything close to the atrocities of WW2.
There used to be a widebody on Madrid to Frankfurt(?) on a South American airline too. Such routes are relatively rare in Europe but do happen. It would be quite a long time since there were any 747s flying Amsterdam to Jakarta though, I think? Before they retired them I think KLM's last 747s were operating on transatlantic routes only.

Edit: realised it was probably Garuda, but if it was recent it's still not a 747 - they don't have any anymore - it would be a 777.
