How exactly is your Coway struggling? Typically it is harder for a filter to clean the air in your apartment when you are bringing in extra outside air.

If you have a good filter but it is not managing to clean the air in your apartment, the most likely problems are that your apartment is too large for the filter's capacity, or that your apartment leaks air in from outside so that your filter can't counteract the effects of the leaking.

I can identify with the red flag where they try to pressure you to accept the offer in a short period. This is also called an exploding offer. I had a place do that to me and I ended up turning the opportunity down.
Open Sans (which it looks like it is) is a perfectly decent humanist font. But he uses the extra-light weight and a fairly small font size so it's pretty hard to read. Unfortunately, this represents a lot of typography in 2020 pretty well.
Whereas US-centric apps like Instagram do everything possible to prevent users from leaving the walled garden. "Link in bio" is commonplace for numerous accounts. User-hostile and completely antithetical to the idea of an interlinked web.

I should dig what people were saying about fasting in the previous eras. Of course it's well known how integrated with religion it was but it was never mentioned as a physiological lever.. more like an emotional/moral act.

Also it would be weird to see people in those days, allegedly not having access to the cornucopia of yummy food we have in 2020, going into fasting. Maybe more diseases on average made them realize that the less fed survived better ?
Comparing what has happened to doing absolutely nothing (effectively having no health system) is of limited use. How about a comparison to how things have gone in peer countries? Our death rate is 600 per million which is many times that of the likes of Canada, Germany, and Japan.

These red flags are the norm in the last decade that I have been interviewing in SV. Issue is that everybody is in the game to further themselves first and foremost rather than helping the company or the candidate. I have talked to many colleagues and managers who are only looking for people that can be "used" to get them promoted and this mindset shapes how they interview candidates.
Stallman's TED talk had a profound impact on me. I think he is right, but realistically, it would be extremely difficult to take it to the extreme that he suggests. The best I can do is eliminate what I can and keep learning so I can do more. I've only been a full time Linux user for 3 years, but in that time I've learned how powerful it is, and can't help but think, if I started on this two decades ago, I'd be even more powerful in the real world than I already am.

I recognize all the contributions Google has made, and overall I think they are a lot better than other companies, but at the end of the day they are a company and their end goal is making money and not always what is best for my kids and society in general. I tried wiping chromeOS and putting Linux on, but the whole container thing annoyed me and reminded me of the PS3.. At any minute, Google can kill this functionality. So I opted to drop it completely in favor of old thinkpads and ubuntu.

If your kids like Minecraft, I cannot suggest enough the "learning Python with minecraft" book and optionally the Udemy course for teaching kids python. In 3 months, both my 8 and 10 year old are building skyscrapers with a few lines of code. It has been a huge creative outlet for them. Bonus if you have them do it on a raspberry pi
I get how reading his attitude to the Salisbury poisonings could then cause some scepticism of his reporting of the Assange trial.

I'm leaning the other way, though. His reporting of the Assange trial, plus his coverage of the Alex Salmond trial, and the various other things on his blog, have caused me to reconsider the Salisbury poisonings (and the UK's Russophobia in general).

He's also being taken to court by the government on a ridiculous charge - always a sign that someone in power wants to shut him up.
I still think apple fanboys are zealots. I was more vocal about it then, as were many heavily invested in FoSS. It's the same vocal dissent that lead to Microsoft investing in Linux on Windows and open source in general.

I don't think paid troll farms were really a thing in 2006. They are now, and you see less apple dissent. So I'm not inclined to think these things are related.
It's really not related to wind speed or hvac power. If you have a well insulated house then a normal hvac system can maintain positive pressure and keep the air inside clean. Assuming it's designed for that purpose.

Alternatively just having a bunch of box fans forcing air through filters is also good. That's essentially what a air purifier is.

Not quite. Stolen valor can only be charged when it's provable that the person in question benefited in some way, usually financially, from the lie.

Don't get me wrong, it's a dickish and incredibly disrespectful thing to do, but it isn't illegal in and of itself.

You can read his exact quote here: https://www.statesman.com/news/20200713/fact-check-did-trump...

Never once does he mention the word 'bleach'. He uses the terms UV light and disinfectant. But I guess using disinfectant, to the average American reader, is synonymous with literally injecting bleach into your body or guzzling it down your throat...

Remember when NPR came out with this article entitled: "No, You Don't Need To Disinfect Your Groceries", and the media was outraged because millions of Americans were dumb enough to start soaking their food in bleach? Yeah, me neither.

https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/04/12/8322692...

Interestingly, looks like he was right about it anyway:

Yes but what do you expect from the people who brought the world Google+? Google prints money in so many ways they should just stop trying to get into the social media game at this point. Stick to search, ads, email, cloud services, hardware, etc etc etc...
It's not one-off, they usually try to get thousands of accounts and then sell them for $1-2 as the usual thing. This is absolutely something that needs to be stopped.
Michael Levitt, though almost certainly a smart guy, has not had the best track record, making predictions both accurate and not. Also, predictions alone are...not that useful? From your Wikipedia article:

> In March, the Los Angeles Times reported that Levitt correctly forecasted in February that the COVID-19 pandemic in China would soon peak and that China would end up with around 80,000 cases and 3,250 deaths from COVID-19.[41] However, it has been noted that Levitt actually made a number of predictions, including incorrect forecasts, in February about China's COVID-19 trajectory[42], including one on February 7, 2020 claiming that "by 14-Feb. we will have reached 95% of the eventual death count of 928".[43] Levitt also has stated his belief that achieving natural herd immunity to the virus is possible[44] and has spoken against lockdown orders.[45]

> Levitt also wrongly predicted that Israel would suffer no more than 10 COVID-19 deaths[46]. On July 25, 2020, Levitt predicted that COVID-19 in the United States would be over "in 4 weeks with total reported deaths below 170,000".[47] However, this prediction about the reported death count also ended up being wrong as the number of reported deaths from COVID-19 in the United States exceeded 170,000 on August 16, 2020, only 3 weeks after Levitt's prediction.[48]

Sounds like he does get some coverage. As for why it’s not wall-to-wall? Maybe his predictions have been wrong too many times?
I like the way the various approaches are presented here, though the author briefly mentions a factor which I feel like really short circuits the entire discussion: error messages. Most people readily agree that recursive descent parsers can provide the best possible error messages, which if you're writing a compiler in 2020 seems like it trumps all other considerations (especially considering you can also get the best possible performance via recursive descent).

The static typing of LR is nice, but trading off user experience for developer experience seems like a bad deal.
On the other hand, there often needs to be a time limit, or else they will be too late to make an offer to the runner-up (when the leader turns it down). I am not sure what a 'reasonable period' is.
I have read more code than I have written. What is a suitable title for me?
Not a very sensible move. It will cause issues with their credibility going forward (not because they picked Biden, but because they picked any candidate).
> Tesla has revenues - real revenues at least. They have real products.

So did Enron. That doesn't mean there's no fraud to be found.

> Before its bankruptcy on December 3, 2001, Enron employed approximately 29,000 staff and was a major electricity, natural gas, communications and pulp and paper company, with claimed revenues of nearly $101 billion during 2000.

Much of that apparent revenue was fraudulent, but not all of it. Enron really was an energy company, but was also engaging in fraud.

Hi. You seem to be asking for Temporal. It's coming, we hope!

It fits so far out of our theoretical models that it's unfair to say it isn't proven or disproven. There are virtually infinite hypothesis that are neither proven nor disproven experimentally, but because theory states it's impossible we don't consider them worth testing.
I felt something a bit similar, that I assume is your brain abandoning the desire for stimulus from food, leading you to go deep into whatever else to feel something. Very nice trick indeed.
Ahh, that looks much cleaner. Thanks for the knowledge =)

Generally yes, if you stick just to CSS you can log HTTP request initiated by user's interaction or user's environment. To name some environmental: locally installed fonts, viewport dimensions, colour depth, resolution etc. Interaction is anything pointer position related, focus management, and to some degree you can do simple kind of "keylogging" or text character presence detection.

In my experience it's because people test their websites only on Mac + Chrome, where thin fonts look fine. Case in point, this website is hard to read on FF + Linux but it's much better on Mac + Chrome.

Was curious what GPT-3 would come up with. Italics are my prompt, the rest of the comment is GPT-3.

You are a reporter interviewing Milton, owner of up and coming automotive manufacturer Nikola, currently being investigated for securities fraud.

"So what exactly is the problem?" you ask.

Milton looks at you as if he doesn't quite understand your question, but then smiles.
"The entire infotainment system is a HTML 5 super computer," Milton said. "That's the standard technology now."

"What does that mean?" You ask.

"It means it can do everything a human brain could ever want to do, and more!" Milton says excitedly. "You want to watch Netflix? You got it. You want to browse the internet for weird fetishes that will make you feel dirty? You got it. You want to play some games? You got it."

You don't really see the point in having such a system, but you stop yourself from saying anything.

"Why would anyone want all those things in their car?" You ask.

"Don't you think it would be handy to watch movies while driving?" Milton asks.

Er, no...? It doesn't look in a dangerous position to me.

What it really does, combined with the human figure, is hiding the desk border, dispensing the artist from dealing with a few awkward issues of perspective. The composition is a late addition, after all, and its front perspective is already suspect.

This seems the sort of critique that gives the art world a bad name.
GW-Basic on DOS did the exact same thing in graphics mode. I had quite a bit of fun experimenting with that.

Also, Bill Atkinson, when making MacPaint, actually implemented something similar to edit text that had been placed into the bitmap with the text tool. Since he knew that it couldn't be perfectly reliable (as there might be non-text pixels in there), he got rid of the feature (https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&stor...)
The Bunker Magnates Hate to Say They Told You So
This article seems like another example of mid-level people giving advice to junior-level people. There are far more red flags you can expect from a company by asking the right questions. The article doesn't dive into any of that and reads more like a few gripes from a guy who did way too many interviews and became jaded by it. The technical interview itself is not likely to be a good indicator of what work looks like at the company, and without experiencing the other side of things these red flags become 'things that rubbed me the wrong way.'

Questions you ask are what dig up the red flags. Who am I replacing and why did they leave? What's the largest obstacle the engineering team is trying to overcome? How do you (the manager) manage your team differently? Is there anything you as a manager would like to improve at?

90% of workplace satisfaction can be attributed to (or sabotaged by) one's direct manager. Make sure you'll appreciate their style.

Xrdp has horrendously bad documentation and installation scripts but it does mostly work after configuration.

You have to manually edit /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh to make xrdp launch a desktop environment when it accepts a connection. If you don't do this, you'll get a blank screen or something non-useful, like a session with just one Xterm window and no desktop environment.

Note that Linux does not support shifting sessions from the local keyboard, mouse & screen to remote access. Further, the major desktop environments don't support simultaneous sessions from the same user.

With any of the remote access tools that don't simply take over the local screen and keyboard, if you have an active session on the physical screen, you won't be able to connect to it remotely, nor will you be able to start a new session remotely under the same login. you'll need to log out from the physical screen before attempting a remote connection.

Finally, Xrdp clipboard sharing does not work with Linux clients.
I was in Delhi in January/February a couple years ago and the air quality index looked the same as the image from the article around Salem, OR every day I was there. Some nights I’d check the stats and it’d be around 600. The depressing thing is you end up getting sort of used to it, albeit with a bad cough.

OK, let me try.

Most software has "reference types", like a customer. A customer is mutable; for example their name can change for a variety of reasons, their shipping address can change etc.

And then there are "value types", like integers or strings. The integer 42 can never change to be any other value.

If your customer lives in Rando Street no 42, and moves to Rando Street 41, you don't change the integer (value type) 42 to 41, you set `custtomer.address.house_number` to the new integer 41. If any other code referenced the number 42, it still has number 42 stored.

Now, many people argue that a moment in time (like timestamp/datetime) is usually better modeled as a value type. If you have two references to one moment, you can rely on the fact that nobody else can modify that moment after the fact.

This is usually safer, since it makes the case of accidentally over-shared objects a non-problem, though possibly a little bit less performant (since all "modifications" must create new copies).

Hello! Long time faster here (lost over 80lbs in about 9 months with basically zero exercise).

One potential downside to steady regimented fasting _when combined_ with caloric restriction, is a decrease in your basal metabolic rate (BMR).

Our bodies are very good at adapting to "the new normal" and will optimize itself to function on the fuel you give it. This is true in both directions. If you eat less, your body will learn to live on less, and if you eat more, eventually your body will ramp up to try and burn more energy to try and reach an equilibrium.

When fasting, it's important to keep your caloric intake up during brief eating windows. Otherwise, your body will adjust, and when you stop fasting, the slightly increased caloric intake will cause you to gain weight before your body readjusts to the new normal. Many fasting theorists suggest that fasting at random intervals is the best strategy for weight loss without reducing BMR. If your body is used to burning 3000 calories a day just to keep you alive, it can't ramp down those cells immediately so it needs to instead convert stored fat to energy and burn that instead.

These aren't fasting specific, but oftentimes in the western world, we begin fasting as a means to an end (weight loss) and often combine it with other dietary changes, like eating less/healthier.

The other downside is literal starvation or the development of an eating disorder, but those are pretty obvious.

I saw a low-budget documentary on YouTube[0] a couple of weeks ago talking about "fasting retreats" in Russia and now parts of Europe that are seeing great results with patients water fasting for 2+ weeks. They're treating everything from Diabetes to arthritis and dementia. Pretty cool stuff.

Personally, I definitely have seen the light and will likely continue fasting regularly in some form the rest of my life. Since I just turned 26 last month, that's going to be a while! I'm currently half way through a 72 hour fast and feeling great. Just had a cup of coffee and some electrolyte spiked water this morning. I still have about 50 pounds to lose but I'm hopefully for my future now and I'm a lot healthier.

That only applies when the company needs to fill a specific position. Specific positions that need a particular person are a minority of SWE roles. In fact it is bad management to let your team get in a situation where there are individual hyper-specialized roles with no knowledge shared.

Of course there is a difference, but again that's what I love about open source. You put something out there, and then it has a life of its own. So what if some people come along and try to sell your code with a new name? Good luck to them, I hope they become very rich off my code (are there any examples of this actually happening?). Personally I write open source code because I like writing open source code, not to get rich.

Definitely more sympathetic to his case. I always thought he was a bit of a showy cunt (technical Aussie term).

But there's no doubt this is a political prosecution, which UK law is extremely clear about: extradition is not applicable for political charges. There's no doubt that he should not be extradited, and that extraditing him is an act of political cowardice by both the UK and Australian governments.
Instagram is already doing this, pushing Reels on the Discover tab, and in your personal feed.

While my Discover tab shows content closely linked to accounts I follow (music, comics, visual artists, sports), the Reels are scantily clad high schoolers dancing and lip syncing, which is what I imagine sells on TikTok.
