None of the banking I have ever done has involved a phone number other than confirming that the phone I am calling from matches the number I entered in online banking, and receiving 2FA codes to that number.

When I opened the account in person, I needed a photo ID (driver license) and social security card (proof of SSN). Online, I surprisingly did not need the driver license at all, just had to provide SSN and e-sign a thousand forms. Phone number was not required and was not checked beyond confirming it was mine with a text code.

In NZ the majority of modern plumbing is done using https://www.buteline.com/nz/nz/buteline or similar.

The tool and connectors are relatively expensive, but it is super simple to do your own plumbing reliably. I have done a few odd home plumbing jobs, and it doesn’t take a lot of skill to do something as reliably as a plumber would do. I’m not sure I would trust the similar push-on connector systems.

I think the search keywords is “pex fittings”, but just go to your hardware store and see what they stock.
Simpler than that - they don't want others to produce Switch-compliant accessories which compete with their own.
Nintendo is following the protocol. They’re using an officially supported alternate mode.
Some Youtube accounts post recordings of video games, some of which are set in a historical context. Nobody takes those for a view of reality.

By the same argument art restoration should not be attempted because cleaning paintings discolored by centuries of candle soot may alter the historical context of the painting and confuse the lay person about what the art really looked like. Or not.

Mostly the argument by the Academic Historians seems to be an attempt to retain control of the historical narrative and colorizing and sharpening old movies means the historian has less room to maneuver.
So you just like to fuck yourself. That's cool.

Ah good tip thanks!

I did some external plastering with cement once and it was horrible! So I'm steeling myself to have a go :)
The press release said they knew, so probably there's written evidence (emails, chat logs) of them discussing having US customers.

One way they might know is by seeing people posting online about how they used VPNs to get around the block. Crypto traders are often bad at being subtle.

It also alleges that they solicited American customers, which presumably they also have evidence of. For instance, maybe advertising on American websites or posting on forums they knew were frequented by Americans, etc. Maybe they posted winking messages that told Americans how to get around the IP ban? All sorts of possibilities.

Edit: from the indictment, page 7: "internal BitMEX records reflected thousands of BitMEX accounts with United States location information that were enabled for trading." So people volunteered their location information to BitMEX.

Page 12: "the defendants, knew that specific
customers, residing in the United States, continued to access BitMEX' s platform... DELO and DWYER knowingly allowed one of these customers to access BitMEX using a non-U. S. passport in the name of a third party that did not belong to this customer. DELO also allowed another customer to continue to access a BitMEX trading account despite this customer being "US based," because "[h]e's famous in Bitcoin," and falsely changed this customer' s internal country of residence to a country other than the United States."

Smoke weed in Kansas - boom, criminal record. Walk across the Colorado border and smoke weed - no problem, it's completely legal. It's also completely legal to spend your free time carting your AR-15 and Nazi flag down to the village square and recruiting supporters for your "Turn America into a white ethnostate" movement. The point I'm making is that not all criminal behavior is even widely considered objectionable and plenty of legal behavior is.

Thus, why would you consider having a criminal record to be "a [big] blemish" that justifies employment discrimination, yet no personal views extreme enough to allow an employer to disassociate from their employee?

When you consider that the ratio of those affected by criminal record-based employment discrimination to those impacted by twitter-based discrimination is on the order of millions to one, it seems strange to be more concerned about the latter than the former.
In which organization do people not make mistakes? Also, if you're going to accuse someone, I think its fair to ask for hard-proof (not speculation).
interesting - still seems different to me. Those are about different news articles reporting on the same "event". These are two different (though similar) individual's experiences of Hacktoberfest.
Maybe people lint their docs or README with something like vale.
Well, you've implemented let* :

(let* ((a 1) (b a)) (+ a b))

is equivalent to:

((((lambda (a) (lambda (b) (+ a b))) a) 1)

And anyway, implementing 'letrec' in C/Asm is really not that hard: allocate cells, assign names to them, compute the values. Compare that with the machinery of making closures (flat or linked?) and function invocation.

I personally prefer to have 'letrec' as a primitive and implement non-recursive 'let' on top of it by checking whether any newly bound names are referenced from the bound values.
One arm of the 'defund the police' camp wants to take rehabilitation and mental health issues away from the criminal justice system.

Although practically, the sharks in the private prison industry have already tasted blood. They are smart enough to pivot, leaving us with the same perverse incentives, or worse. Way more people can forgive a drug conviction than an involuntary commitment to a mental health institution, and abuse is harder report.

One of the very last EWDs[1] has strongly influenced my thinking on this subject. Dijkstra is talking about mathematical rather than programming notation, but by and large the same reasoning applies to both. A program text should optimize for clarity to other programmers reading it.

From the linked text:
> others shun clarity lest their work is considered trivial

This is a real problem in industry. Being told that the simple solution you spent 5 days finding for a very tricky problem proves that you were just goofing off when it was that easy is annoying, to say the least.

You don't need anything special to say you have relevant exceptions. GCC with a benchmark set currently in progress (which has other problems):

Note: The following floating-point exceptions are signalling: IEEE_UNDERFLOW_FLAG

The "inexact" exception message you got at the end of essentially anything on SunOS at one time was quite annoying. (I can't remember whether that was specific to the SunPro compiler.) Fortran provides control over this with IEEE_ARITHMETIC, but I don't remember whether that's actually part of the standard.

Why use a standard connector then? Why not use a proprietary one? The USB-C connector itself is far from perfect and I can see no reason to use it if actual compatibility is not what you seek.
According to the standard, you can't.

There is nothing, however, stopping a manufacturer from making USB-C cables with very fine-gauge power conductors[1]: electrons could flow, and a data connection could be negotiated, but resistive losses at high power consumption would cause the voltage to sag below the minimum of 4.40V.

Such a cable would not be standards-compliant, since USB-C cables are required to be able to carry 3 Amperes at 20V. However, for pure data-transfer purposes, the cable would work fine, and be cheaper that fully-compliant cables.

[1] After all, a full-featured cable needs to fit 16 (!) conductors, and the shield, into one flexible cable.

Truework | Software engineers / Security Engineers | San Francisco, CA | Full time | Onsite | https://www.truework.com/careers/

Truework is hiring frontend, backend, infrastructure, and security software engineers to help overhaul employment and income verification in the United States.

Banks and background check providers often request employment and income data from your current and former employers to approve mortgages and loans or complete pre-employment screening. Your employer likely shares important details about your employment, including your title, job duration, and wages, with third party credit agencies to fulfill these requests. Unfortunately, this process is not transparent for employees and can be slow and error-prone for employers and verifiers.

Truework is building a modern, consent-driven employment and income verification platform to give employees visibility and control into how their employment information is shared with others. We are growing quickly and currently handle thousands of verifications every month, which has enabled the approval of billions of dollars in loans and helps employees in regulated professions (e.g. nursing) start work more quickly than before.
Our engineering team is still small, which means you’ll play big a part in shaping the future of Truework, and your work will have a significant impact and visibility. We are a Django and React (Typescript) shop, and run our infrastructure on AWS. If you want to learn more about the things we’ve built, check out our engineering blog at https://www.truework.com/blog/engineering/.

If you’re interested or want to know more about working at Truework, send me a note at victor @truework.com. (more options in my profile details)

"They may not care that I redirect more funding towards more understanding of what happened."

You may have more understanding of something, but you have to be very careful to remember that it's not "what happened". Adding another layer of inaccuracies does not make something more accurate.

"In time I will use an artificial neural net and I won't need a gating human. It will paint me a picture of a place and time and its best possible interpretation of the evidence."

I wouldn't bet on it. In fact, if you do get an "artificial neural net" to do that, you might want to start worrying about what impressions it wants you to take away.
It's helpful in pointing out how silly all this obvious yet useless virtue-signalling has become, as if my teams weren't busy enough already.
In studying history I find some of the most useful documents are older histories. For instance, reading about World War 1, finding the account written in the 20's or 30's can be very informative. Of course those histories have bias but so do modern histories. Reading both and comparing the two provides even more benefit. Newer histories, in spite of their bias, may have more accurate facts or facts from records that were not available to the historian of 1920. But the mores and culture of the 1920's also plays a role and no modern historian can reproduce that.
See if your neighborhood adult school has any classes. I have taken a woodworking class in local adult school. Courses were done in the workshop of a high-school.
Before Covid, I would fly roundtrip from California to Boston 4 or 5 times a year. I almost always flew JetBlue, not because of a program but because it was the cheapest and I like their planes. After an entire year of doing this I had earned under $100 in credit.

Meanwhile, the cost differential between flying at 9am or 6am or a different airline is usually $100. I've never been convinced after that the pain of dealing with the tracking and the login account is even worth it.

Despite? It pretty much means "to remember", it doesn't have the alpha privative of amnesia, "to forget"
Many Americans talk about "freedom" but their definition is largely narrow and specific to political issues they feel strongly about. The same people who talk about "small government" simultaneously use the federal government to bludgeon states into submissions on issues such as legalized marijuana. It's usually something that's used to justify a specific political position and not an overall sentiment of allowing actual freedom.

On the contrary, many Americans support policies that are against many ideas of freedom such as the disenfranchisement of felons.

For example, someone might use an example of being able to deny a LGBTQ person a service as "having freedoms" but ignore the fact that by denying them that service, that person is also simultaneously less free.
As someone with a civics background once explained to me, what you don't want are laws that inspire contempt. Contempt for one law tends to blur into contempt for The Law, and then you've got anarchy.
The point is that DO incentivizes "do something which takes time from maintainers, without bringing them value"

GitHub fundamentally has some mechanisms which incentivizes some "useless" PRs especially to popular projects ("see, I contributed to $popular_project") while it directly adds the metrics ("oh, just one line changed") where most people quickly learn that there is no point in those.

Mind that looking at PRs is not a short thing. Usually I try to follow up with folks who send partially useful things to learn about users and maybe get them to contribute repeatedly. I won't expect anything from Hacktoberfest spamers.
I don’t know why people insist on planting land mines. There is a tool for managing workgroup arrays called foo. Among its many operations it had:

$ foo reset array
$ foo reset array controller a|b

The first one resets to factory defaults. The second reboots one of the redundant controllers, a or b. We had to reconfigure and restore from tape several times.

In zfs the command to create a dataset is “zfs create toplevelname/datasetname”. The command to create a snapshot is “zfs snapshot datasetname@snapshotname”. The command to destroy either is “zfs destroy objectname”, and the objectname of a snapshot is always a valid dataset name plus an at sign plus the snapshot name. Deleting a dataset is not a reversible operation. :/

1. You can solder together the copper hole frames or stretch a wire and attach it to the holes. It's less tricky than trying to solder sub millimeter SMD contact with a 3mm point soldering tip

2. "Save up a lot" - that's an obstacle that prevents a lot of people from realising that they can create beautiful things. And that is literally the reason why I am vehemently opposed moving away from through hole logic components. Lower barriers to entry = richer world full of beautiful things.
> Err, the democratic process is about giving an equal voice called the vote to all randos off the street. (Not that it's implemented particuraly democratically in the US).

The US system is designed to make randos off the street feel like they have an equal voice (so they don't revolt and can be blamed for the failings of government) while actually heavily insulating the country from legislating their wishes.

Originally only one half of the bicameral legislature, and no other branches, were directly elected. Even now only one branch is directly elected.

The Athenians were a human rights nightmare and their economy was based on human trafficking. Even if a tiny minority of the population had some say in the rule of law I wouldn't look to them as something to aspire to.
