yeah yeah I know it's "against" racism, but as a while male, I would expect a low likelihood of getting a fair shake from a Director of Engineering steeped in this sort of material if I had to work for them.

I would go so far as to say a beginner should not write genservers, and using genservers that aren't part of a library is usually an antipattern. When you're ready to write a serious library, then you're ready to write genserver.

Of course it's always good to understand genservers.
GemStone III and DragonRealms taught me to type when I was very young. It was pick and hunt, because I had no formal guidance, but my father at the time had witnessed my playing and commented that I had surpassed his secretary on sheer speed.

Very fond memories of those games.

They don't but the alternative 2FA for them was a letter mailed through USPS.

I had to do that back in the day when Google Fi wasn't recognized by the IRS as a mobile phone.
What I'm surprised is that Hacktoberfest is opt-out, not opt-in, and it's enough to file a Pull Request, not needing for it to be accepted. There, two things that D.O. could change right now to limit the spam, instead of lying about having their hands tied.
is this a listicle? i don't really understand what the purpose of this article is. What makes hackers mindset useful to programmers? what makes these points the valuable takeaways. Not asking hn, it just seems missing from the article

I understand that, I read the remark. But you were replying to a comment about Perl, and I want to make it clear that there are plenty of people and languages that make excuses in favor of practitioners when it's convenient and that they shouldn't.

I just don't even think it's a useful remark because you can just claim people you disagree with are beginners and people you agree with are practitioners and now anything can be argued.
While they don't explicitly claim USB-C compatibility, creating a USB-C shaped port seems like a pretty clear representation that the dock is USB-C compatible.
I saw something about this recently.

One, there was selection bias, in that certain parts of the sky were easier to get observation time for discovering these parabolic orbits. As we've found more, the sample size has erased some of the anomalous properties.

Two, the patterns that remain may be explained by the last star that crossed our path, perturbing the oort cloud, rather than a Planet X.
I've only seen one charging-only cable, and it was a very weird shape. I've never seen a data-only cable. And while proprietary fast-charging exists does that affect the cables?

The cable situation before was pretty good, honestly. And if we could just mark the speed rating on USB-C cables it would solve almost all the problems. Maybe another symbol for the ones that can do >60 watts but even that is quite niche in comparison.
Gosh I didn't expect to start anything more than a few smiles with this comment. I'm French, this is absolutely normal to say that where I'm from, and I can tell you that no German or Italian woman / man would take offense for what I said (angry Twitter mobs don't count ;)

I can't speak for Japanese people since I never met any.

I don't know if your reaction is representative of US culture, but having to tip toe around words and not say what you think doesn't scream free country to me.
and here’s the thought experiment: if there were no cattle class, how would the airline provide the profitable business class flights?

I simply don’t believe one can simplify down the profits as crudely as you have put it.
It ain't just science reporting.

> Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.

> In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.

That is not how safety margins work. Safety margins are meant to give a buffer for unforeseen circumstances, they are not a ticket to just cheat. With this logic... why stop at a 25A breaker (30 in the US)? Why not just plug a 20A device into a 100A breaker, or no breaker at all?

No safety margin can account for purposeful circumvention, which is what connecting a 15/20A outlet to a 30A circuit is.
“Colourisation does not bring us closer to the past; it increases the gap between now and then. It does not enable immediacy; it creates difference.”

I don't buy this argument. I feel like the reason these upscaled videos are going viral is because it makes the events in the footage feel like something that actually happened, rather than an old-timey silent movie.

Having said that, I'm not always a fan of upscaled historical footage. I think the best argument against it is that it's a distortion of reality. Regular people don't have the technological sophistication to understand that what they're seeing is the result of a machine filling in the gaps and making a "best guess". They assume all the new information they're seeing was already hidden somewhere in the original image and just had to be pulled out. I think if everyone was on the same page as to what these videos were, there wouldn't be a problem.

Hmm. It says "included with gihub enterprise" on the product page, then on the pricing page it says $21/user/mo. Github has done a good job on making something complicated simple... but this appears to be the opposite... making the simple complicated.

Generally I like the points, but note that not all MBAs (or even programs within a school) are created equal. A checkbox MBA is (can be) a different experience than the top programs.

For the networking section, I wouldn't gloss over how much smoother it can be to ping in-network alumni with "hey, we both did this program, lets have a coffee Zoom" than by attempting the same thing via cold tweets or LinkedIn messages. I do also think that the quality of the network does depend on the institution and the program, and many non-tech places do put value on these things.

Your random stat about billionaires makes me wonder if it is due to inheritance and/or limited to a country, or where you got it. I don't know where you sourced it from though.

Maybe it is implied in your "check a box" category, but it strikes me that having your employer pay for your MBA seems much more likely in this case than having them do it for a career pivot which can change the math or the consideration.
Youtuber Promotes Hacktoberfest as Earn Free TShirts by Spamming Repos with PRs
Keyboard magazine included one every month for several years! I remember one was actually printed backwards somehow. (That is the audio on it was backwards, so it sounded like putting the needle on the record and manually spinning it backwards by hand.) If I recall, they corrected it the next month.

How does this invalidate money transmission laws?

If all the transactions being done wouldn't be forbidden by money transmission laws even if they were transmitting money normally, then the transactions aren't doing anything to negate the effects of the money transmission laws.

On the other hand, if a transaction would go against money transaction laws if it were going by some other method, even if it would currently be legal if done with bitcoin (which I doubt is the case, but even supposing), the money transmission laws could just be amended to also forbid the analogous transactions which use bitcoin instead of whatever other method, therefore then making it a crime.

A plan to invalidate a law by making a technology that fits through a loophole in a law, and hoping the loophole never gets patched, seems, an odd plan.

A plan to make a law practically un-enforceable by making a technology, seems like a more reasonable plan to me, and is also inherently facilitating a crime.
This is uncanny. I have the same exact story from 25 years ago.

Before freshman year, I had to sit down with my guidance councilor to select my electives. I chose Spanish and Drafting. She said both of those were a "bad fit for an honors student"; that I should take French and Art instead.

I acquiesced, not too happy about it but also trusting she knew what was better.

A few weeks later I got my schedule. Apparently French was booked up so I got Spanish. But still had to go to Art class.

I dropped that a week later and switched to drafting, which I did all four years of high school. The first two years were technical drawing and the next two were architectural drafting. This is when I convinced the teacher to let me fire up the 386s in the back of the room. They all had Generic CADD[0] on them, which remains one of my favorite CAD programs of all time. Simple, but wicked fast with two-key commands for everything. (i.e. "ZB" for zoom to box, "C3" for a 3-point circle, etc.)

I'm fairly convinced that the fact that marijuana is illegal (federally) and alcohol/tobacco are legal without a prescription has more to do with the populations who typically used them than with any medical or scientific basis on dangerousness.

If no employer is willing to “put themselves at risk”, what choice do ex-convicts have but to commit more crimes? May as well give them a life sentence in prison for anything that makes them an employment risk.
Wow, 1M miles... I don't think I could have handled that. Continental gave bonus miles which is the only reason I had 500k, but I think I made it to 150k actual miles.

The bonuses were self propagating, I would get a bonus miles because I was upgraded for free to first class because I had so many miles.

That is probably why they were devalued so hard when United bought them.
According to the indictment they had an office in Manhattan.
I didn't want to dive down away from murder, because then I'll have to pick my "line". I'm not prepared to do that for various reasons. For example, I don't know the punishments for the crime you mentioned.

Murder is the "easiest" crime to use to make my arguments. And even then I have to specify stuff like "intentional without a damn good reason".
Colorizing and upscaling is marvelous technology, and greatly improves my enjoyment of old photos and films. (I saved many colorized photos as wallpaper.)

I know it isn't historically accurate, but the originals are not destroyed, and the historian has those available.
Well then it was a hoax?
That tooling is wrong: you could always change the default branch on git.
A $99 Harbor Freight stick welder, a cheap grinder, plus mask, gloves, long-sleeve shirt and what-not. Then go to a local metal supply place and ask if you can buy some scraps to practice welding---I ended up with a box of pieces of 1/4" steel plate for free. Technically, I should take them back to recycle when I am done, but I'm too ashamed of the horrible welds I did on them. I still can't scratch-start worth a damn.

Just be sure to watch some videos or read up on on how to do it safely.
In the US, more than 60% of people released from prison return, and our program alumni continue to prove that the way to stop the cycle is through career opportunities.

Many TLM grads have returned home after decades in prison and gotten good jobs in tech. The key is making useful resources like coding classes available to those inside seeking opportunity.

By the way - TLM is hiring a Dev Ops & IT Manager, if you want to help us grow our in-prison tech program: https://thelastmile.org/work-with-us/#2321
I hear you. Google nerfed my Nest Hello last year without explanation, while letting my other Nest products pretty much die on the vine, even if I want to pay $X/month to enable my multiple $150+ cameras to be useful.

There is just so much wasted potential there. We have a "legit" security system that my wife wants to turn on expensive $50/month monitoring on, and I have been fending her off saying look we have all these motion detectors and cameras in the house, Google will pull this all together and do it 10x better, but it seems that day is never coming.
Just don't be a cheap date. I'm hardly any kind of "hacker". I'm barely a "programmer".

But if I'm in a conference room, and I see some little embedded computer powering something, my mind immediately starts going "Oooo, wut that? Does it run something unixy? I wonder if it connects to the same network as the main office. I could probably borrow its little flash memory disk without anyone noticing for a day or so. I bet I could put a program to open a reverse shell for me so that I can just peacefully chill behind the firewall anytime I want."

Etc, etc etc. I can't help it. I'm curious! I'm also not very driven and highly nervous. But what if I were driven and brazen, but also very curious?

Put important things behind a firewall, and make sure that firewall is correlated to a physically secure location. Password protect systems that need protection. Encrypt things that are critical and confidential. Limit the number of people who have unrestricted access. Divide your network so that more public services only communicate with more secure backend service as little and as securely as possible. Don't hire people you don't trust. Compensate the people you hire well. Be ethical so that people generally won't delight in your downfall.

And then live your life! Lol.
Yeah but that's like saying the awkwardness of stl templates obscures the beauty of C++ or the Android app api obscures the beauty of the jvm. The genserver is messy because it deals with a good chunk of messiness around safely managing distributed systems for you. It probably could be improved (Dave thomas critiques comes to mind) but elixir had to be conservative because if it weren't it wouldn't have had buy in from the beam community and wouldn't have become the first truly successful non-erlang language targeting the BEAM.
what meaning does "master" have that "main" does not?

>Nick Dowdle, growth product manager at the real estate startup ZeroDown, was shelling out $2,400 a month to rent a cramped room in a three bedroom townhouse in San Francisco's trendy Castro District until recently moving to Marina Del Rey. He is now spending $2,100 a month to rent his own one-bedroom in a luxury complex that includes a pool, hot tub and outdoor gym.

He could of also moved to Chicago and gotten a 2 bedroom for 1500$.

LA is far from affordable for most. Looks like they might turn LA into SF, I think LA already has more homeless. Once you add in a car , which in traditional LA fashion will run 800$ a month between payment , insurance and gas, you've reached parity with NYC. Not SF though
It's an interesting consideration. This would be a great time for any lawyer to chime in.

Personally I'd think it a matter of taste or etiquette. If I were a full time employee (FTE) at one company, working for another company would personally be a bit of a betrayal of my first employer.

>Sorry but you'll have to explain how universality makes an area of knowledge more important, useful, serious or any other similar adjective. The human experience not only exists, but it's by definition central to us, so how is this not extremely important?

Because to be unbiased is to separate yourself from the human experience. What makes your experience more central than the experience of a dolphin? Does a dolphin know morality as we know it? I don't know.

Though I do know that the dolphin is bounded by the laws of logic just as we are bounded.

>And your argument about science being different from religion therefore grouping both under philosophy is wrong simply ignores what "philosophy" is supposed to mean

Probably does. I'm not arguing for the definition of philosophy. If the definition of philosophy actually involves a unionization of faith based principles and science than I'm not arguing for a new definition.

I'm more arguing more for the fact that philosophy should not be labeled as something more fundamental than science. It is because of the category error that does not make philosophy more fundamental than science/logic.

So in a sense if you want to find out the reason for existence, you likely need to get more fundamental than science and logic and because philosophy involves things like ethics or religion it is, imo, not the true path to answering these fundamental questions.

Much of mathematics in the early days involved philosophical speculation... It was only later on that the field learned to separate the metaphysical speculations from the actual mathematics. I think philosophy is kind of suffering from the same issue.
Having friends that work for a major airline I initially reacted with horror at your opening statement. But this, so much this:

“ Flying in my lifetime has moved from being something 'fun and exclusive' to 'taking the bus with strip searches'.”

I’m the same way now too. I will drive up to 8 hours to avoid flying and typically just don’t make the longer flights unless absolutely necessary.
In principle yes, but the objectives (constructive/destructive) produce different satisfaction. A programmer on a sizable team might not have the same commitment as one on a smaller team. He/she may think so, but it’s almost always, not the case.

I’m speaking from experience.
Japan, one of the world’s wealthiest nations and a successful exporter of soft power for decades now, is a “subordinate class”?
This is just another piece of proof that power corrupts. Morons like AG Barr want back doors they promise not to use without a warrant. Anything that can be used, will be used. This is a fact and will not change.
