Regardless of what you said about “those guys,” which is barely relevant to the story, if we are to believe the business owners, they’re right in suing for defamation (the guy left 3 reviews out of spite)

However the problem is that the police considers this a good enough reason to jail someone working there legally after picking him up from his workplace.

I don’t think that’s fair.
Which, considering this is Thailand, probably is founded indeed.
Sure, a terrorist's goal is to create terror. But a higher body count is by far the most reliable way to generate more terror. Sure, a few people killed in a particularly gruesome way might create more terror than a numerically larger event. But only by a moderate factor. I highly doubt 10 people killed by a plane crashing into a dry storage site would leave a greater impression than a hundred killed by crashing into an occupied building. And a 10:1 ratio is probably generous towards the number killed by the attack on the waste storage. For the most part, these concrete cylinders sit still with few, if any, people around them: https://blogs-images.forbes.com/jamesconca/files/2018/03/ENW...
Yeah but was is this then a shell script which randomly pops up some windows you need to click away?

When your script was a bash script chances are you targeted proficient users with it. These might get annoyed by popping up stuff. This means ultimately you are probably better off adding a GUI and a --headless flag so both user categories are happy.

As I see it the only thing that is a little useful are the notifications (e.g. if you have some sort of daemon running in background that needs to bring sth to the users attention)
Germany also has quite generous parental leave. 14 months to split between parents as they see fit. But no single parent can take more than 12 and it's only 65%.

12 of the 14 months can be doubled as well, up to 24 months, at half the regular salary replacement. A good option if a parent wants to work part-time.

"It used to be simpler"

I hear that more and more, often followed by: "In the 90's..." But then I compare the steps it used to take to setup my NextCloud install, including altering php.ini, installing and configuring mariadb, php-fpm, getting a free start-ssl cert, etc. to my current docker-compose.yaml and I think: No.

Edit I also think we forgot all about how we manually did things, like mounting USD drives with kernel 2.4. I love how Linux is today.

> People are offered leave, that's good, if they don't want to take it, it's none of anyone's business really

Hum... wouldn't that depend on why you're not taking them?

Say you're not taking them because of social pressure?

Say you don't want to take them because doing so will put you up for promotion before your co-workers who do?

Say you don't want to take them because it result in a loss of money (if say employer offers reduced pay only)

And maybe others. But I feel some of those reasons call for further discussion. Like, it shouldn't be that you don't take them due to social pressure, lower pay, or to get ahead. None of these seem equally fair to all employees.

If you really just really were someone whose favourite thing to do is go to work day in, day out, then ok sure. It be hard to argue against that, but like... really?
Please add (2018) to the title.
These “remote but actually not” jobs are my pet hate. They clog up remote job listings and can never offer an actual reason why the employee must appear in person every week/month/quarter. It’s the worst of all possible worlds! No close connection with your coworkers or regular office benefits, no ability to work from anywhere, plus regular expensive/gruelling travel.
A lot of people being brainwashed by the US government in here.
No, I've read your comments carefully. I even read them to my wife, who had a good laugh. This latest comment tries to reframe the grocery shopping bit to involve both parents, but this isn't what you originally said. You said a parent can go grocery shopping anytime, but now you're saying they can do it anytime after the other parent is home and watching the kids. That's a pretty big difference.

Also, after dad gets home, then it's time for dinner, bath, and bedtime. Mom could run off to the grocery at dinnertime, but most families try to have meals together so that's not a great option. And mom has to be home at bedtime, at least if she is nursing.
I think there's a misunderstanding here.

By falling outside the scope of the license, the LGPL isn't viral in the way the GPL is. Code you write can use an LGPL licensed library but be licensed differently itself.

However, you (the developer) are still subject to various legal requirements if you make use of an LGPL licensed library! If you fail to meet those requirements (basically, allow relinking against a modified version of the library) then you are in violation of the license and (in most jurisdictions) subject to penalty under copyright law.
An infant needs his mother fully. A father has plenty of time to bond. This kind of social engineering is entirely unnecessary.
If you examine ByteDance's structure technically, you are correct that it does look like just a regular company. But just about everything runs differently in China. All major companies in China have CCP party members on their boards who not only influence corporate policy, but are actually _deferred to_ on anything remotely political.[2][3] At the end of the day the party has the final say in any matters that it cares about. There's actually a fundamental difference that many westerners don't understand about China, and it comes from an ignorance of the country's history in my opinion: there is no real rule of law, there is the current will of the party[1]. Obviously there's a ton of whataboutism that you can misdirect here about how the US or other western countries don't follow their constitutions or whatever, but it is fundamentally different, as the differences in the CCP run very deep down to the daily lives of basically every citizen ("show me a warrant" does NOT fly in China, ever).

TLDR; the CCP does whatever it wants whenever it wants, and is deeply ingrained in every major corporation at the highest levels.

Chances are that if your employer isn't willing or able to pay for benefits they're also not willing or able to pay for a maximal salary though. You're probably just missing out on benefits rather than being paid the value of them. The companies shareholders and owners make more profit though, so if you're getting compensation in stock you are benefitting indirectly.
Ah, that could be it then. I've never experienced W2K as anything but rock solid, but then I never had anything faster than a K6-2 back then. :D
Even if all it takes is the identifiers as shown in the example for Spotify, multiplied by all the hundreds or thousands of transactions per person, and all the thousands or millions of people, that’s still much too large of a honeypot.

I don’t want anyone having that much information of that kind about me, unless they’re going to give me very strong guarantees about how hard they’re going to work to protect that data.

And the name “catchmeifyoucan” definitely brings up vision of Frank Abagnale, and the kinds of crazy crimes that he managed to get away with for so long.....
Yeah that's true. In my case, though, my social life is almost back to normal, and I find working in cafes incredibly uncomfortable and distracting.

It's definitely been better since I've been able to get out and see friends, but I'm still itching to get back to the office.
That's a great visualization! Not only it represents a lot of information, but it shows the nuances, like the huge influence of Napoleon or the Germans.
The concept exists but it’s not exactly transparent how those costs translate into actual energy prices because coal mining has been heavily subsidised.

There are estimates, however, saying that those costs will exceed the overall benefits in the next few years, i.e. in the end it‘ll have been a negative-sum game.
Thank you for the reply! Could you be more specific? In the case of 1D FFT, the right half (possibly zero-padded) of the signal is completely mixed up with the left half after the first pass [of breath-first FFT]. If the right half was all zeros, would it still be twice as fast in 1D case? Do you have any pointers to literature which discusses this?
It doesn’t have exactly the same effect: you get lower contrast. When you reduce the brightness of the backlight, blacks and whites alike become less bright. When you reduce the RGB intensities, the whites become less bright but the blacks stay just as bright. How big a deal this is depends on the technique. On OLED panels there’s approximately no difference, but it’s a huge deal in low-light scenarios with most LCD panels.
A Lorem ispum generator too!
Batteries are only the most of expensive of many candidates for energy storage.

But, as was demonstrated in Australia, adequate.
>> ... being banned essentially on executive whim:

The US Senate unanimously approved a bill banning federal employees from using TikTok on government-issued devices last month. So there is some consensus among lawmakers that some sort of privacy and/or security threat exists -- it's hardly on "executive whim."
I don’t think the real issue is whether or not the US block TicTok or any other Chinese company. The issue is how they block these companies.

The approach Trump is using is arbitrary, and he seems more interested in engaging in crony capitalism than actually protecting the US.

This approach undermines the rule-of-law in the US, which alongside its democratic processes, is what US holds up as its reason for moral superiority in the world.

If the executive and they rest of the US really cares about this issue, then put legislation through congress. Put those much vaulted democratic process to work, and don’t support executives that seek to undermine those processes.
Even Fukushima was a human problem, they had the warnings, the designs, the technology, the reviews, and the equipment to prevent a meltdown. But newer safety features were never implemented due to political problems and concerns. They knew Tsunamis bigger than the plant was designed for could happen, they knew earthquakes bigger than the plant could handle could happen, they had the technology and knowledge to reduce or eliminate those problems so it wouldn't melt down, they just didn't bother doing any of the work to accomplish it.
> Instead, I believe that it is a national security issue

That or the president wants a Friendly social network to manage the news cycle of the election instead of a social network that is not so much influenced by him.

Those who control the news has the power to change perceptions.
The main problem with Objective-C++ is that only us old timers still have documentation available.

Most newcomers won't even know it exists.
Ok, but how is Tik Tok a national security issue, but the fact that damn near every electronic device available on the market is manufactured in or out of components manufactured in China doesn't seem to be one?
Oh you too! My ban came from discovering where the station number (the 8 bit number uniquely identifying each BBC Micro on the Econet network - like a MAC address) was stored in memory. I did this by the obvious technique of searching memory for this number on several machines and comparing the addresses - it was address 3361. Then I found that by changing this you could impersonate the credentials of the person logged in to the other machine, although it worked better if you also had a co-conspirator turn off their machine at the same time.

The other hack which possibly contributed was writing a kind of "broadcast NOTIFY" that sent your keystrokes to all of the other machines on the network, allowing the user to remote control all the things. The service manual I just found online says that *NOTIFY is a dangerous command which the operator might want to remove - but in fact there was a system call which did the same thing and I used that instead.
Yep, I've noticed that in the past year on HN thre are a lot of people who would rather downvote than face truth. I wonder whether COVID brought in a bunch of low quality participants.

Separately though I've noticed lately that pretty much all my comments get downvoted first; some disappear in the process, others get salvaged by upvotes. I wonder whether someone is running a downvote bot on my handle.
For people who live close, they still have to work from home, thus not avoiding the cost of it (higher utility fee, no company dining, need more space). For them, this is definitely more expensive than work onsite all the time.
The difference is obviously the millions of baht flowing.
These are obscene amounts of money for a person with a median salary.
So I will just respond to the parts regarding my original comment. You're right I didn't put any details in but in my further comment in this thread I mention that I'm using it a lot and have been since it's annoucement. I wouldn't have introduced it to my apps if I hadn't thought it was a promising piece of tech and I agree it is the future I'm not simply dismissing it out of ignorance, I've used it a lot and I'm disapointed because of the potential I see in it. The interop with UIKit is appreciated and I'm not asking for something as fully featured or mature as UIKit in 2 years, what I would have liked to have seen from this years WWDC however was a refinement and bug fixes of pieces that we already had.

Fundemental building blocks of SwiftUI are broken and have been since it's annoucement, List, NavigationView and NavigationLink for example – these are the basis of SwiftUI apps and need attention from Apple developers, I've reported bugs, memory leaks and performance issues with these and they've been acknowledged, maybe they fix them during iOS14's lifecycle but maybe not. We got some much needed features at this years WWDC but I would have also liked to see these fundementals addressed and maybe even rethought (navigation). It's not like we're talking about a volunteer open source project here, we're talking about the future flagship UI framework for 2 trillion dollar company. Run and profile Apple's own Fruta example app if you want to see what I'm talking about.

When it works, then yes like I said I can't imagine a faster way of building for Apple platforms. But right now I would warn others not to adopt it at any meaningful scale for another 2 years.
Now that you've provided an extreme and obvious counter-example, I would still suggest that developers working on a codebase with less than 100k LoC do not in fact have to use JS, and may be selling themselves short by myopically opting for TS when more robust solutions exist.

I can't give you an exact figure, but at my previous position we gradually migrated a codebase that was 10s of ks worth of JS/TS over to Purescript, and everybody's life was better off for it.
This is double edge sword for Thailand, maybe corrupt justice system can work as a new revenue source, but it will definitely impact new tourist going there.

I had a good time there, but I remember my expectations were low. But news like this make me cross that country from the map of future traveling.

I remember feeling when at entrance in Singapore I got stamp on passport with small print warning that "drug usage is punishable by death" regardless of not using drugs, I could not help myself of overthinking "what if someone puts a small bag in my luggage" or what if I my sleeve brushed somewhere where someone was sniffing coke...

White text on black background is hard to read, at least for me as I get a halo effect around text edges due to my astigmatism. However, that is an extreme colour scheme. A more balanced colour scheme like monokai is much better and gives better contrast than a light colour scheme for syntax highlighting, and reduces my eye strain as the monitor isn’t emitting as much white light. I also suffer from floaters, as others here seem too as well, and the main way to make them less distracting / hide them is to use dark colour schemes.

My work office, back when I had to go into the office, used overhead LED ‘energy efficient’ lights that were far too bright and had a colour temperature that was too white. They then painted the office walls white, I thought I was entering limbo every morning.

I think the key takeaway is that it all comes down to personal taste, and there is no universal colour scheme or brightness level that everyone is comfortable with.
It's neither a privacy nor national security issue. It's the POTUS silencing per decree an alleged pro-Biden voice in upcoming elections, whereas alleged pro-Trump voices by other foreign nations on eg Facebook are welcome. It will become an issue of international free trade on the Internet with the US side as the dominant player standing to loose economically. Why would other foreign nations allow US companies to destroy their publishing and advertising industry when the US market isn't welcoming foreign competition?
Because nobody has put forth any workable plan to provide the storage capacity needed to rely on solar or wind.
Surely Facebook’s a bigger issue than 60 second videos since any bad actor can target messaging at susceptibile users and no one will know.

This just seems like yet another case of Republican double speak. Say one thing do a different thing that just coincidentally happens to grab power over others.

Also, what is the method of using a 60 second video platform to share messaging with a crowd who will immediately scroll past anything heavy (or just plain stop using the app) to get to the next funny video? It seems a ultra low effectiveness medium for controlled messaging.
> I think it's quite healthy to spend a little while away from one's partner from time to time.

I fully agree with this, though I'd prefer it be more on a voluntary basis, e.g. by travelling alone from time to time, having a couple of hobbies separate from your partner, and friends that you hang out with. Not forced upon you by work.

Being forced to be away from your partner 25% of the time by work is a bit much, unless you're a travelling consultant or flight attendant or something.
Yes WSL2 uses Hyper-V so you'll have the same problems. Hyper-V is a type-1 hypervisor, meaning it runs at the hardware level with exclusive access to the CPU virtualization extensions. When enabled it runs Windows itself as a VM which is why it requires a reboot to disable.

VirtualBox is a type-2 hypervisor running on the guest/Windows OS but can't access the CPU extensions since Hyper-V has already acquired them. Running Linux containers on Windows (using Docker or otherwise) always involved Hyper-V, just with different hosts from LinuxKit to WSL2. Docker on Mac OS uses hyperkit which seems to also be a type-2 hypervisor which doesn't conflict with VirtualBox (and in fact the docs state that Docker on MacOS uses VirtualBox drivers to create VMs).

VirtualBox 6.0 is supposed to detect and use the Hyper-V API as well as support nested virtualization but its still experimental. Also I believe you can run 32-bit VirtualBox while Hyper-V is enabled, have you tried that?

I think you're in a tough position and the best solution is probably to make the business case in either upgrading away from Vagrant/VB to Docker or getting some proper standalone Vagrant servers to develop with.
I use something like:

echo -e "command\n with a long output,\n and it's last line" |tee /dev/tty| tail -n 1| { read -d '\n' _output ; notify-send "$_output"; telegram-send "$_output"; }

This will send the last n lines of stdout to:

- gnome-notifications

- telegram on my phone from a bot account that uses a unique notification sound
what you said just does not make any sense. china does censor information getting out for the same reason us is doing it. us is censoring information getting to "protect the minds of the children from influence" just like china. it's just the way the technology works and the intentions of both parties seem to be the same xenophobic warmongering shit
> And hiring laws aren‘t determined by the employee‘s nationality.

Hiring laws aren't, but firing laws are. When I worked as a corporate lawyer, we had lawyers who specialized in knowing the employment laws in various countries and advising companies on the process for exiting, the cost for doing so, etc.

I'd also disagree that people aren't paid by companies during parental leave. They are often topped-up by companies. This was the case at the law firm where I worked, and at the R1 university my wife works for. I'm sure it is also the case at FAANG, which have generous corporate leave policies.
Ezra Klein’s interview with Margaret Sullivan of the Washington Post (formerly of the Buffalo news) included a lot of discussion on the economics of media and news [1].

Her conclusion is that historically the local newspaper(s) had a monopoly on advertising. That advertising shifted to national ad campaigns on television, national papers (so her transition from Buffalo is highly relevant), and finally online advertising.

In particular though, the “cover everything for our readers” model has broken down pretty massively. The rise of focused journalism and partnerships between papers is apparently giving rise to some innovation here (the basic form is that you get articles from associated press for most things and then supplement with local stories, but the Texas Tribune is mentioned as having a fairly different donation based model plus collaboration with Politico).

So more than anything, I read this as “people will only subscribe and budget for so much media; what will they keep vs drop?”. The default answer has become “only the major international sources”. tbray’s list is incredibly “and also some local” by contrast! But not everyone is going to do that, and the conclusion has been the accelerated decline of local journalism.

The thesis of her book and the discussion is that’s a huge loss, and we likely need different funding models for this public good.

"Write an FFT" is the DSP engineer interview question that's analogous to tree traversal algorithm whiteboarding. The hard part is remembering how a butterfly computation works, and you'll almost never need to implement it.

I get that some people are entitled idiots who seem completely incapable of thinking through the consequences of their actions, but I’ve never heard Thailand described in a way that sounds terribly interesting to me as a vacation spot.

Then again, I typically describe any place with more than a few dozen people as overly crowded for the purposes of vacationing, so maybe I’m not the right person to ask.
I think that censorship in India is a losing end, and it does not help anyone, not the government, not the ISPs, not the media lobbies.

They should just expose more endpoints, like the way TPB got over the problem, and keep these ISPs at bay. This is just my opinion.
I don’t know why this comment was downvoted. It makes sense and is right.
There are lots of good reasons why mega-projects fail or under-perform that nuclear is hardly immune to. In fact the complexity, scale and grandeur of nuclear may make it particularly susceptible.
