Bouncing is flipping direction.

A light source moving away from you to a mirror is getting dimmer, but it’s reflection is getting brighter. That’s a measurable physical property that’s reversed. Similarly, a red or blue shifted object between the mirror has a reflection that’s revered in the other direction. However, when looking at an object behind you that doesn’t happen as the reflection shows the same side.
plumbers, electricians, civil engineers, architects, structural engineers, etc. All these occupations have licensing requirements. Why is software different?
I only partly agree. You can have people who are considering or happy enough to move on but are still doing a great job and you can have people going through the motions who would rather continue to collect a paycheck than go through a job hunt.
Write AMBULANCE on a piece of paper. Now turn the paper around so the word faces away from you. Hold it up to a light and you can see that the word is now flipped horizontally. Now face a mirror: the image is projected onto the mirror with no change, so you see the exact same thing you saw when it held it up the light.

IOW the mirror is inessential. We can ask the same question about just a transparent piece of paper.
> Gelinas raised thousands of dollars on Patreon each month, posting updates using his pseudonym, QAppAnon.

> A few months into the Trump administration, Gelinas changed his party affiliation to Republican, and this spring he contributed $200 to Trump’s reelection efforts—his first-ever political contribution, according to federal disclosures.

Why am I not surprised at all, raking in thousands of dollars all in self-service and then gives a tiny amount to the candidate he claims to adore...

On a separate note I had no idea that this FEC website [0] existed or that this info was so easily accessible. Like it doesn't completely shock me, I figured you could find out who I've donated to if you wanted to look but I never thought it would be this easy and they also have datasets you can download... If I didn't already have too many side-projects that I'm working on then I'd love to heatmap out this data by zip code for donations to party/candidate or play with the data in some other way. It's quite fun to throw in your company name and see who gave how much and to where.

Don't beat yourself up about Z. The Z axis is both a convention and commonly used for height in many fields, such as civil engineering, vehicles, and geology. All areas where the horizontal ground is important. It's computer graphics with its vertical screens that mainly has Z for depth.

There does seem to be an underlying commonality to these conventions which might be that Z is normal to some important reference plane, the direction without homogeneity, or the most unique direction.
Since 'pau_alcala is here, what does this mean?

It just doesn't parse for me. Perhaps:

But even that sounds a little weird?
Are Colonists treated as bad as immigrants in this country at the moment? The post is about immigrants so that's why I'm talking about immigrants. People who are immigrants are still in the transition phase and this is a clear sign that they are less welcome.

Not many people are capable of traveling from distance places away, learning a new language, and then starting from scratch, with no family or friends. I'd give them a bit of credit, especially since their contributions are still being uncovered after being purposely devalued.

To your point, there are of course other hard working demographics in the US, but limiting the number of H1Bs that can come over is slamming the door on people who rightly deserve to be in the US.
The biggest problem is that they're still doing B but they threw C under the bus (without a security team i don't see a bright future once the exploits come rolling in and when they finally realize C was the option all trust will be gone)

I wonder how well an eye tracker + keyboard keys bound to clicks would work (ahk?). From qhat I've seen they're pretty accurate and it'd be very low physical effort.

Although I think think the better answer here would be just using a keyboard. Use a keyboard layout like colemak. Support your arms somehow. Use software that support keyboard only use. And use macros to make things you can't do or complex tasks easier.
If software developers were interviewed like doctors:

"Oh, you don't have a graduate degree? Why did you even bother applying here?"
Because their fields are mature. Practitioner fundamentals haven't changed in decades, often not even in centuries.
I probably have a skewed perception because I play with small fpv drones, but any weight saving like this usually opens up a whole world of new possibilities we never bothered to imagine before. This will certainly help existing delivery drones and drone taxi projects.
Supreme Court (Carpenter v. United States) says otherwise.
Look up the names of the functions in java.lang.Math. They are exactly the names and semantics used in the libm functions. Even down to the presence of the atan2 function which computes tan¯¹(y / x).

(You could also point out that JavaScript literally lifts java.lang.Math and java.util.Date into JS code as well, down to Date.getYear returning the Gregorian year - 1900).
On the other hand, if software engineers were interviewed like doctors, anyone who didn’t have a U.S. graduate degree would be immediately rejected. Anyone with great experience in another country would be immediately rejected. That is most of the good doctors in the world! The doctor interviewing process is simplified by rejecting the vast majority of qualified candidates before even interviewing them.

I think the field of software engineering is doing quite well with its interviewing compared to other fields. Having all of these rigorous interviews sometimes ends up evaluating people based on things that shouldn’t be so important, but the upside is that you can be far less reliant on credentials.
Yep. We say "too polite to be honest" but "too friendly to be honest" works for me too.
The Imperial model gives reproducible results, so most of the noise was professional programmers being salty about the fact that ugly code can still be accurate code.

The fact that it predicted things like 80% of the population becoming infected was simply unrelated to code quality.
The key is that the volume of the dishwasher is small, and in fact it has heating elements (plus insulation) to raise the water temp, so it can recirculate that hot water (mixed with soap). I can imagine a bathroom with a drain (mine in fact has a concrete floor and a drain, so I can mop the whole floor into it) but there's no way to recirculate (or heat) water sprayed all over it, so the waste of water and energy would be huge.

Isn't the design intent of the 5G methodology more about maintaing useful throughout to individual devices in the presence of an increasing number of other devices (and other interference), than it is about massive throughput to single devices, in preparation for a predicted explosion of wireless IoT variable things? If so, then this result isn't a problem, we've just been primed to expect more by headline grabbing numbers coming out of artificial benchmarking experiments, that were never expected to be reproduced in the messy real world.

I would wager that an employer would just shift their office overseas, rather than be forced to increase wages. See what happened to manufacturing around the world.

By and large, I think its a quid-pro-quo between the US wanting foreign markets to sell into, and other countries wanting to sell their products, as well as human-resource-services into the US market. But, the US is a saturated market, and so the only growth is in emerging markets. Which also translates indirectly to 401(k) growth...

in darknet diaries EP 26 - IRS they talk about how the budget and staff got severely cut resulting in major IT issues. I think if we want a better system we're going to also be ok with giving a portion of the Turbo Tax to fund the development, maintenance, and securing of the systems required.

If this was to be called an "Alexa alternative", there should at least be Home Assistant running on that Raspberry Pi. Despite also not having voice recognition, it could then at least be able to, you know, DO something.
There are really two "flips" that are often talked about with a mirror:

1. It flips things in the direction perpendicular to the mirror. If you're facing a normal wall-mounted mirror then that means it flips your "forward" into your "backwards". This is a real physical effect that no one would normally dispute.

2. It appears to flip things left to right, and most people (before mirror-flipping enlightment) would reasonably believe this. But it's a human psychological effect, not a real physical one.

This article is about the second point. You're talking about the first point. The placement of the mirror is a red herring: even with a ceiling mounted mirror, if you show a piece of paper to it by putting it above your head in the natural unenlightened way and look up, you'll find the text is still flipped left to right. In fact it maybe even emphasises the illusion because you can turn to face any direction (and without thinking you'll turn the piece of paper too of course) and still see the same effect!

(BTW I upvoted your comment because it's not the only comment to post this mix up - but it seems to be the first - so I think it deserves a bit of visibility for others thinking the same thing.)
I mean, searching something on DDG and then on Bing gives almost identical results.
That wasn't wisdom at all, it was just a folk tale to justify a right-wing government pushing forward a slew of unnecessary budget cuts.

After all, a household does not have to invest in jobs, fund healthcare, maintain infrastructure and so on, as governments do. And it's been repeatedly demonstrated that there are damaging second-order effects from not doing this, which particularly hit the poorest and most vulnerable in society. Not that your average selfish right-winger would give a shit about that, of course.

Unfortunately, fans of right-wing politics tend to be too ideologically blinkered or just too stupid to realize how much of a fallacy it is, and the deleterious effect this has on governance.

The cooling system was revised in later editions, yes, but the model that the person I replied to mentioned is the CUH-7215B, the same one I have.

The CUH-7215B was included in a bundle with Red Dead Redemption 2 and in a bundle with Kingdom Hearts III, the one I got — there are probably other bundles with this model too.

That's true, but not relevant to the point of the comment you are replying to. Taking a copy of an existing work, and simply replacing words with synonyms and renaming characters would still count as copying. Maybe there would be enough creativity in your choice of synonyms to make your work separately copyrightable as a derivative work, but that would still require permission of the existing work's copyright owner.

Producing a new work that happens to be similar to, or even word for word identical to an existing work, if you truly created it yourself from scratch without taking anything from the existing work, would not be copying.

As a practical matter, unless you had extraordinary proof that you really had never read Harry Potter books, watched the movies, read the plot summaries on Wikipedia, attended a party shortly after one of the books came out where everyone was talking about it, you would lose in a copyright infringement lawsuit. If you work is very similar to Harry Potter and you had access to Harry Potter, that's sufficient for the plaintiff to make their case, switching the burden to you to prove that you did not copy it.
Maybe he's changed. Is there any evidence to suggest DDG is anything but honest?

I think if Oracle wins, what really needs to happen is we need to begin lobbying congress to explicitly exclude APIs from copyright protection. I think that this could definitely work, particularly since so much software relies on APIs not being copyrighted.
My "favorite" useless review is the "I just got it and unboxed it. I haven't used it yet, but I know it's going to be good!" five star review. How I hate those.
I would like to challenge the notion of "market price."

I feel that it is safe to say that in different companies, a developer produces different value for the company. For someone working at a Big Tech company, a single developer - even a low level one - can produce substantial value for the company. On the other hand, working at a small company, the entire company may not have as much revenue as the low level developer produced at the Big Tech company.

Should a developer at a small company that is... say... optimizing routes for auto parts delivery for a handful of clients be compensated at the same "market price" as someone who is working on optimizing AWS?

My point is that not every company - even in the Bay Area - can afford to pay "market rate" for everyone.

Its not that the labor market doesn't value the skills, it's that the labor produced isn't worth the same. I believe that it is foolish for a software developer who to expect the wages of someone who is working in Big Tech at all other companies (and it would be foolish for the company to pay an employee more than the value that they're creating for the company).
Chrome is deploying HTTP/3 and IETF QUIC
Yea, I have a couple PS4s. A launch day model and a PS4 Pro. Both sound like harrier jets taking off when they're under load. I don't think it's uncommon and something I've heard others mention a well. I'm just looking forward to a quiet running game system. I don't much care how big it is, which is a common complaint, as long as it runs quiet.

My only other really big complaint about the PS4 is how terrible the battery life is on the DS4 controllers. I really hope that's also resolved with PS5 and it's new controller.
Manufacturers aide this by not making their devices apples-to-apples comparable and using brand specific marketing terms. Worrying about buying something from a better brand that is the same thing but marked up is real.
If you touch the PCB with your fingers, yes.
Awesome. I'm sure there are many applications that will benefit. And yet as a consumer / Joe Public I already get that from WiFi. When I'm not connected to WiFi (which is not often), 4G is more than adequate. The only thing I see 5G doing is increasing the tracking resolution for my whereabouts. Nobody ever tells me what my Telco is doing with THAT that data.
Remote learning over potentially-connectionless protocols (e.g. email) also makes sense as a way of supporting those who cannot afford always-on internet connections (or streaming-level bandwidth). This is not a small number even in the developed world, and could grow larger under a collapse.
Generally that doesn't happen for decades though, and when it does it's still an indictment of the idea that capitalism/America is meritocratic. The original business will eventually fail or the person runs out of money isn't that rich any more. When neither of those things happen it starts to look fishy, especially when it's known that the person uses legal at the time but dubious or even now illegal tax holes.

On top of that even if they're losing a lot of money they're still getting all the benefits of the government they're just not paying into the system in a proportion to the amount they're getting from it.
I'll bite. How are DDG and Brave not helping to protect your privacy?
None of our opinions matter though. We are not the target market usually. If the change in tone drives more business then it works.

Now you could make the argument that ethically this mimicry (I like that term you used) is morally wrong.

Its interesting because when you go to a coffee shop and they act friendly and helpful we like it and dont think about if they genuinely are our friends.

I think if the tone is paired with overall user friendly practices by the company (for example not charging me at the end of a free trial) then the tone is appreciated.

Ditto, the only reason to use gloves is if you want to completely avoid fingerprints and/or finger oils on things, but 99.9% of electronics work involves touching delicate parts on edge (where the oils won't cause any issue) or using tools like pliers, spudgers, tweezers, etc.

If you're rubbing your oily fingers all over chip surfaces and connectors, that's on you :D
Lackey? That's like saying steve jobs founded apple and steve wozniak was a lackey. Ideas aren't worth anything unless you have someone who can actually turn the idea into a reality. Strange to see this kind of dismissive response of an actual engineer here.
No kidding. This is going to be the first search result for, "PS5 teardown" after the release of the console. There's a lot of value in that when you think about what people would look for when they're considering buying a major purchase. Especially since I imagine the alternative as something to the effect of this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VarmzG1Y-og
Why would Bing cancel, they're presumably making money off of the arrangement. And DDG-users would likely not migrate to Bing, but to Google: if you have to use a product by an anti-privacy-corporation, might as well use the good one.
Very cool concept, the altruistic spirit of the site made me feel compelled to write a review.

5g operates at 3.5ghz carrier freq with 100mhz channel b/w. due to higher frequencies channel quality suffers from degradation indoors, and higher attenuation as well. this in turn will require higher density of gnb deployment to prevent coverage holes...
It's difficult to say as they are not open about it.

Personally, I think they would suffer. Their API https://duckduckgo.com/api shows what they can provide as result. I believe the reason why it's missing a lot, most of the actual results, is because Microsoft Bing doesn't allow to offer a public API to redistribute the results from the Bing API.
