Disclaimer: I'm Indian, I'm writing from my experience here. I can't speak for any of the three countries you mentioned, but I think you can extrapolate.

In the Indian market most of these apps are just free and ad supported, by which I mean they are filled to the brim with banner ads and every action requires going through an interstitial ad.

As for this, though:

> where are all the local apps taking over the world with their low prices?

There's a ton of shovelware made in developing countries on the Play store, it's just not good. Most of them have bad UI, bad UX and/or the ad problem I mentioned earlier, making them unappealing to anybody who can afford an alternative.

There's also the fact that apps made locally target local customers for region-specific use cases, so you're not likely to find them useful if you're not from the region (and that is, if you can find them at all in the Play store without any marketing targeted at you!) I know of a few decent to good apps that have to do with Indian accounting etc, and they're making good money at low prices but nobody in the US is going to use them because they're made with the Indian GST and accounting principles in mind. An implication is that these apps don't follow US/EU regulations. There was an Indian-made fertility app that was collecting data that was flagrantly in violation of GDPR (https://privacyinternational.org/long-read/3196/no-bodys-bus..., search for "Maya by Plackal Tech".) To them, the additional work required to be GDPR compliant is not worth it, given that the domestic market is big enough for them at the early stage.

What is? Did I suggest anyone write complex Bash programs?

Shellcheck is amazing. As I suggested in the previous post, I use it for most of my own shell scripts/projects, especially stuff I intend to release. But, because shell and Bash are weird and full of pitfalls, I think it's worth making sure people know you can't just Shellcheck-and-ship.
Are there any kind of enhancements that are currently illegal in competitive gaming, such as banned substances?
I have written quite a few checks to people I don't know. I don't think too many people think twice about it.
Holy cow, 6.2KG!! That’s almost as much as a good bike weighs, and enough weight to seriously feel it lugging that around.

I guess if you really have to leave your bike locked in public for long periods of time it could be worth it, but wow, that would not be a nice or convenient thing to lug around.
The issue is that you can change it later on - after people have reviewed your torrent, breaking the immutability property of bittorrent.
The dev is currently extraordinarily dedicated to responding to tickets and is in heavy development.

I've already helped out and contributed a bit. Recommend to start Github issues for any gripes right away.

Not sure if he offers a non-grid list mode though. But he's open to new ideas.
Do you make comparable hourly pay to full time work?
Thank you for clarifying! I’m still skeptical of the chart’s A100 values but appreciated your reasonable attempt to de-bias. It’s always easier to critique then create so I also want to make sure I complement you on an excellent article :).

That’s the best part of Kilian. Dude won hard rock while goofing around and taking selfies with the aid stations. He’s unreal.
There's also "Bech32" from the Bitcoin world: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0173#Bech32

The cool thing about using a standard Base32 representation is there's so many to choose from!
It kinda feels like public playlists are what it would have to become, but there's a sense of curation with a public playlist that might not be present with something more akin to a private collection. I'm not saying i want to find the playboys in a box under my grandpa's bed, but there's a difference in what we present to the world at large vs what we keep to ourselves that feels like it almost requires something physical.
I don't know if there is a word for it, but I see it as a type of social bikeshedding.

In regular bikeshedding we spend a lot of time arguing over minor factors because everyone feels like they can have meaningful input and contribute. Then we gloss over the complicated stuff because it's too hard to get into.

In this case, people feel like they can push hard on relatively minor issues like uses of words and phrases because they can make a noticeable impact. Precisely because they feel powerless to effect actual systemic change. Widespread protest doesn't seem to change much, but targeted complaints can sometimes get someone fired.

There may be an argument that it could work as a ground-up approach similar to NYC's broken window policing, but I personally doubt that. I think the backlash will be a net negative.

Our workplace has a nice solution for this. Office timings are 8 to 5. Early birds can arrive at 8 and leave by 5. But this is not enforced. Many night owls only arrive by 11 or 12 and leave later or leave by 3 or 4 and continue work from home at their time. Leadership just needs to be flexible enough.
Yes, compilation got a lot slower in 1.46 https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/75992 and there has been some breakage with `type_length_limit` errors.
I like this story idea a lot!

In the story universe, The Longs keep a low profile by publishing the bets in dollars.

In fact, an international cabal of power players have $400,000,000 riding on this one. The Longs don’t want to cause alarm.
How is buying gift cards not just a more restrictive way of converting your Bitcoin to the currency on the gift card?
The destruction of the retail and small business economy will dwarf corona in damage and mortality, setting back the US a century. Millions of American business owners are transitioning to retirement.

One of the beauties of bash is that it's _not_ compiled.

Can you read the Go source code from a Go binary? Is the algorithm transparent to the user?

How do you jump back to work on a binary? You have to keep the source code somewhere else (probably in a repo somewhere); now you have an application instead of a script.
Back in 2010, a teacher spied on a student through the webcam on a school issued laptop, and called the police when they thought they saw them taking drugs (it was candy).

I can't imagine how bad it has gotten now

IMO, there should be some regulation where they should be forced to mention the current and maximum allocation that they are willing to make as well as the average/median bandwidth that the active users enjoy per hour.
I love the very slowly changing hue of your site. It's very artistic. When I started, it was a golden brown, by the time I reached the bottom, it was a lime green. I thought I might be crazy until I spotted in in dev tools.
Pytorch has support to ROCM.
If I'm WFH why should I spend my money and use my equipment to work? I have a large gaming monitor, why should my company expect everyone to make similar purchases to be able to work properly? In office even though companies are miserly, they do provide a baseline of equipment that is good enough for most people.
I use rclone and it automatically downloads all of my Docs as .docx and Sheets as .xlsx.

The only pain point is that the Drive API seems to omit checksums for these types of files, so they're always downloaded even when they haven't changed.

I only have a handful of these so it's only a minor annoyance but I imagine it could get ugly if you are a heavy user.
In my experience, the police deal with property crime by showing up a few hours later, writing a police report, and suggesting that you move to a less shitty neighbourhood.

I don't think they need much help with that sort of thing, it seems to be pretty throughly figured out.

If we wanted to solve property crime, we would probably do two things - arrest the fences who buy stolen goods, and give addicts free drugs.
The Four-Fold Imagination
I watched it and I felt like I was playing Mortal Kombat 3

technology really repeats itself
> scope constantly added, never time for anything

I thought I could solve this problem at my last job by finding enough efficiencies in our workflow to make all our jobs easier. I accomplished my goal, but it didn't have the intended effect. What it meant was that management could then hire more people and give everyone even more work to do, so we ended up back in the same situation, or maybe even a worse situation, than we were originally.
Doom Eternal runs better than most of the current Unreal/Unity engine games I've been playing lately, and it looks a touch better too

I haven't tried it on my 4K HTPC (no comfortable keyboard+mouse for FPS on it) but 1440p on a GTX 1080 with all the graphics maxed runs a consistent 60FPS in Vulkan.
Or mark said sites as malicious. No need to select the most anti-user solution.
It's extremely easy to beat the efficiency of photosynthesis since plants are so inefficient. The highest estimate I have seen for carbon sequestration by trees is 7 tons of CO2 per acre, which doesn't include losses from converting wood to biochar for long term carbon capture. Direct air capture of CO2 requires about 2000 KWh per ton of CO2. An acre of solar panels produces an average of 357000 KWh of electricity per year. That means that direct air capture is at least 25x more efficient at converting solar energy to captured CO2. That efficiency is important considering the scale at which we will need to sequester carbon in the next few decades. Cost efficiency is a different matter, but even then I believe direct air capture will beat biochar very soon if it hasn't already.
> You could build query-by-example indexes (for text, sound, images or videos) in the storage hardware with this kind of capability. That'd be pretty interesting.

I've seen demos of this kind of thing from companies like NGD Systems, who use Cortex A53s in addition to realtime cores in their SSD controller. Part of the selling point for offloading this from the CPU is that code running on the SSD controller has much faster access to the dataset and can query it more efficiently, unconstrained by the drive's host interface.

There are also more mundane use cases for ML inside a SSD as heuristics to predict data access patterns or media wearout trends, which can influence how the SSD chooses to store data and tackle error correction.
Use UBlockOrigin, and every time you see one of those sticky thumb players, create a regex rule to remove it. I must have hundreds of those little rules in place on my browsers. I never searched how to send my list to one of the maintainers of the most popular ad/annoyance lists but I think now it's time.
The ISP is also in the best position to publish the p50, p90 and p99 speeds their customers reach. But why bother, when they can feign ignorance and just talk about what the boffins in the Science Lab say it should be.

Perhaps, with tongue in cheek, we could call this the p0 speed — as in it doesn’t make sense and it’s guaranteed that 0% of customers achieve it.
US DoD had as a strategic goal the ability to fight and win a two theater global conflict against peer or near peer nations up until a few years ago, when it was changed to fight and win one theater, while not losing the other (holding ground until the other theater is won).

If you're looking at needing to fight China and Russia, at the same time, over an extended period of time (2+ years), having 9,000 tanks in your back pocket seems like a good idea.

Also, it's a jobs/pork barrel program. Congress keeps ordering tanks that the Army puts into storage because the M1 is a beast of a machine that keeps a lot of people employed. The US manufacturing base is pretty depleted, and ordering tanks you don't necessarily need is a good way to keep the skills and tool chains you could need in the future around.
As the resident of Riga have to add that it depends on age. Young native Latvian people tend to avoid learning russian (but actually they have to while living in Riga). Also there is a constant goverment level pressure to ignore russian as a vital part of latvian life so you will always feel that you are not welcome in many places like the oficial institutions. But actually you could live for years there not speaking any latvian word :) Also it is worth to mention that english is starting to be more and more important (even more important than latvian) in daily life for IT people as foreign people in teams are much more usual now even than 5 years ago.
Carbon credits do
That drive would need extensive testing, because it violates Newton's third law. Similar reactionless drives like the EM drive also warrant skepticism. Occam's razor, it's more likely the tests measuring their thrust were not accounting for a background element, even the article acknowledges this.
What Working in Cybersecurity Is Like: A Day in the Life
Just to clarify, what you're saying above applies to apps that are distributed through the iOS App Store, correct? In other words, all of that does not apply to websites that have no presence in the App Store and are just accessed through browsers, right?

I mean, I sure hope so :-D
Product Owners are a bad idea
It goes both ways, just because certain personality types work better in a social environment doesn't mean it's a one-size-fits-all. If you hate your living condition that badly, you probably should move somewhere else.

What we should be advocating for is an inclusive policy that allows employees to choose how they want to work.
It is, but the restrictiveness of mostly mitigated because you can either 1) buy gift cards to stores you visit on a regular basis (eg. nearby supermarket) 2) buy gift cards only after you've decided what to buy. It's also adventurous compared to converting to cash directly because there's usually a discount on the gift card (compared to having to pay a fee for cash), and that AML regulations are laxer.
Ya, this only affects distributing an app via the App Store.
With respect to the US, this answer is incomplete. The theory of letting the market decide only works when there is a free market. Most places I’ve lived has only had a single choice for ISP effectively making them monopolies.
I wrote a tool to calculate product or service prices for different parts of the world based on the Big Mac Index (the price of a local mcdonalds lunch burger). That method makes more sense to me because all your customers have a similar point of reference.

McD is thought of as a premium product in some very poor areas, but on the whole they aim for mass market affordability, which makes it a fair comparison.

Four Lifestyle Interventions I Do to Maximize My Healthspan
And it's so good! Really love the work the NPP are putting into building the new payments infrastructure.
does it rhyme with crisp?
But that's what people did, back in the day when they wrote checks to pay for things in store.
Yes, there is a lot of hypocrisy to go around, unfortunately.
> In order to get a collision with probability 1% you need to produce about 4e37 hashes

Does "get a collision" here mean finding a particular collision with a known hash, or finding any collision between any two of the generated hashes?
Be warned, the implementation is vulnerable to side-channel attacks. Please avoid using it to encode secrets. I would suggest using libsodium instead https://libsodium.gitbook.io/doc/helpers - although it does not offer a base32 variant.
There is a salient difference between handguns (protected by the constitution) and healthcare, education, etc.
My understand is that in the US system anyone can initiate transfer out of your account with your routing and account numbers (both are on the check itself so they're not really "secret"), but if they are doing it without your consent they'll get into legal trouble and you can get your money back (but it _might_ take some time to get your money back). As a result most people just shrug it off.
I think Haskell tooling is pretty good now. VSCode with the Haskell plugins is simple to setup. I used to use Emacs for Haskell, but the VSCode support is now so good that I just take the easy route.

Stack and stackage made package management much easier for me. I am an enthusiastic, but not great Haskell programmer so I like running the ‘hlint’ linter program for hints on improving my code.

My heart is really with Common Lisp, but Haskell is also a pleasure to use and the tooling seems much better to me than five years ago.
Any other service that is post paid, there is no risk of jail time. I can visit the dentist and get my teeth cleaned and get the bill and not pay. I can get my home remodeled and not pay. I can rack up a $50,000 bill on AWS and not pay. All these would go to collections and the police wouldn’t hall me off to jail.

Not paying your tax is a felony.
Good for you! (not being sarcastic)

Culture plays a huge role as well. I have seen the environments where existing folks are un-willing to help out new guy. This could be due to lack of time, getting territorial, just-being-jerk, lots of attrition, etc.

The best way to get started is to start writing tests for the team and work your way up. I find this useful for all levels of hire.
That's really interesting. I was trying to learn pretty early on, so I could believe that was part of it. But I tried to play around with it in some off time only just a few months ago and I hit a wall on reference types yet again :\

Funny how that works.
You think the company that made Wolfenstein, Doom, and Quake should use the Unreal Engine?
Never underestimate the damage an editor can do to a correctly written piece of prose.
It's dumbfounding how awful bank websites are at security. They started with the stupidest conceivable way to implement two-factor--a second clear-text password that is an answer to a very small number of secret questions. Then they limited the secret questions to things people could find out about you on Facebook, then on top of that added secret questions about esoteric crap like your father's mother's childhood neighbor's dog's name, secret questions that have answers that vary over time like your favorite song, secret questions that have ridiculous length or punctuation requirements, authentication by SMS, authentication by robocall, and on and on and on. The only thing they absolutely refuse to try is an actual friggin' two-factor app!

There's security theater, and then there's Punch and Judy security puppet shows.
It isn't surprising to me that instruction counts as a performance metric would have less variance than wall time. Did you know that the environment size can actually affect wall time?

> We see that something external and orthogonal to the program, i.e., changing the size (in bytes) of an unused environment variable, can dramatically (frequently by about 33% and once by almost 300%) change the performance of our program. This phenomenon occurs because the UNIX environment is loaded into memory before the call stack. Thus, changing the UNIX environment size changes the location of the call stack which in turn affects the alignment of local variables in various hardware structures.

Donald Knuth used to write checks in hexadecimal amounts to people who reported errors in his books (I have $7.68) but had to stop because people post photos of the checks online and the numbers printed on them can be used for fraud.
Oh. I stand corrected.
CO2 concentration was falling over recent geological timescales, below 150 ppm photosynthesis stops.

We could survive at 1000 ppm by 2800 when the next glacial will have started, by then fusion power will be mainstream.

Socialism is a far greater short term global problem, it murdered 100 million people just last century, equipped with modern technology (e.g. a virulent novel coronavirus) it could be billions.
This is clearly a usability vs security decision. The advantage here seems to be that you can receive payments without registering your email, which seems like a nice feature to have. I wouldn't have to keep track of yet another money transfer service (there's already paypal, vemo, zelle), and it's one less account that could get hacked in the future. Also, considering that the recipient's email was probably hacked (how else were they able to get ahold of the email?), even having a mandatory email registration system wouldn't necessarily prevent the fraud from happening. The attacker could re-register your email address to his account, and since he controls your email, he could also approve any verification emails.
Gender reveal parties have started two forest fires
The repeated pattern that I have observed is that companies want to hire talent. They screen for this in all the ways they can think of. Once hired though they really wanted mediocrity and trend followers, people reliant upon popular tools that do a measurably significant part of their job. This pattern seems common and repeatable for jobs dedicated to product development and not jobs focused on research or experimentation.

The described pattern is most explicit when the work performance expectations and means of execution directly contradict points and values expressed during the interview. These interview discussion points aren’t some slight hints, but are things raised intentionally by the candidate to avoid poor practice and these are things that win the candidate points during hiring selection.

I suppose the cause of this repeated pattern isn’t the management, at least not usually. The company really sincerely wanted to hire talent but cannot apply the talent they want and selected without raising some concern and insecurity from other employees. For this particular pattern of failure there is nowhere to mentor up, because typically management is not the problem and sympathize with the concerns. When management is the problem mentoring up is counter productive in that their insecurity increases. Typically the people experiencing this problem are less concerned with job security and more concerned with walking a tightrope between burning bridges and building products that resemble dumpster fires.
