There's absolutely nothing wrong with your point of view. I had basically the same point of view when I was dating and never strayed from it.

The only thing that did change was that I made myself start dating and I was extremely honest. I told anyone that I asked out (or the rare "asked me out") that I wasn't looking for a serious relationship. The first time I said it was after a bad breakup because I didn't think I was ready for it, but I was shocked at how well this was received.

What I accidentally discovered is that women often want to go out, they want to go on a date, get to know you and see if there's a mutual connection there. What they don't want is to be stuck if they decide it's not and you become overly clingy, so they have to concoct ways to let you down easy or break it off without hurting your feelings.

It's been 18 years so forgive me if I can't remember exactly how I phrased it, but I think at some point in a conversation I'd say something along the lines of "Hey, I'm not looking for a serious relationship right now but I like you. Would you like to [have dinner|catch a movie|hang out] sometime?"

It was great. No pressure on anyone (including sexual pressure), no serious hard feelings from any of it. Actually made a lot of life long friends. Over the course of 1 year I went out with about 12 different people and met my wife. We've been married for 16 years now.
Original author here - thanks! Yes, ES5 is a huge pain. However, I believe 5% of users (see other comment) are not a joke for many apps. There's always the question of minimum critical APIs required: If you build a 3D or webcam app you can forget ES5 altogether, of course.

> It’s a lot like using polyfills when needed.

Never thought of it this way, thanks for that! As is state in the conclusion, the study would likely be more convincing with ES6 and build steps. So yeah, ES5 is questionable :)

>US cc transaction data are batched

to what extent? They might take a few days to settle, but the authorizations show up in my bank almost immediately. For all intents and purposes they're real time.

>Alipay provides more agile context by integrating location data real time.

The usefulness of this is questionable. Merchant terminals are mostly fixed, so correlating a merchant id/name to a physical location isn't too hard. Apple pay already has this, where it will show a map of where the transaction happened if you click into a transaction. This works even without location services enabled on your phone.
There are actually 4. Visa, MasterCard, Amex, and Discover.

Yes and I make about $1500-$2000 in cash back a year using my various branded credit cards. How can you do that with Alipay?

Does Alipay offer theft protection, travel insurance, or price protection for buyers? My Amex and Chase cards do.

What about disputes and fraud on Alipay?

Arguably. Forums have been supplanted by Facebook groups. Mobilizon seeks to do the same to Facebook. I can't create a group so I cannot definitively say anything about it. You may very well be right.
So they can't even stop not abusing it inside the company but they also sure have to give the technology to the governments and everyone...
Unless you have a very good reason you just shouldn't change what a user has entered; just trust the user's input where there's no security or integrity reason to do otherwise. This example of Twitter messing with user input and breaking things is a good example of why you don't do that.
Nah, it's not Linux geeks pushing this but Red Hat, Canonical, etc. - each trying to grab as much control over the stack as they can.
No. Feeling better now.
> A sane language already includes plenty of standard functions, but that doesn't relieve the need for more.

The difference is that I write new functions on a daily basis, while I almost never need new control flow constructs. And if it turns out that such a construct would be useful, then it's almost always better to also have syntax and compiler support for it (for error checking, more descriptive parser errors, optimizations).
Reading through the page I just couldn't shake off the feeling that the illustrations remind me a lot of the Pepper and Carrot comic.

>I do not agree that blanket censorship without contextual understanding is the right way to do things.

I don't agree with it either, but it's impossible to do this at scale without hiring a large number, relative to community size, to be full time paid moderators. We have to accept the reality that these free communities need automation in order to maintain order, or else they would cost lots of money.

>How do you define "protected classes", though?

This is a straw man and I'm not going to address it. You know exactly what I'm talking about.
I understand that we're talking about feeding "AI" data here, so it's kind of moot, but I'd like to point out anyway that most of us don't want the merchants to know who we are (or to feed the "AI" in general).
She wasn't rude at all - or even incorrect, for that matter. I've since followed up with HR professionals and even one lawyer: there was nothing illegal about her question.

I don't use Twitter except when I'm linked to it and for occasional searches, and it's been a huge step backwards with the new UI that was forced on everyone a few months ago. It even has a loading screen because it's much slower, and somehow also manages to show less content than the previous design.

If I remember correctly there was a brief period a while ago when they did use a JS-only "web app", but then switched back to simple HTML with JS enhancements (and I seem to remember they announced that change with much pride).

Of course, there is always mobile.twitter.com that is still static-only and quite usable without JS, but IMHO Twitter is the perfect example of how the "modern web" is doing less with more.
So - if the issue is really the marketing around youtube-dl, does this mean someone can create a fork named something else, use different marketing, and carry on?

And I'm sure that their mothers love them very much, too, but that's irrelevant.

Of course not. The wreckage of their administrations—the hundreds of thousands of dead, the economy in freefall, our position of leadership in the world in tatters—makes it so.
I think this is good advice. Tune in to problems. Listening is harder than it seems because we tend to apply our own filters.

For example, I did some work for a friend in a non-IT business, and at first I didn't pay attention because I thought his problem was trivial - but then realized to him it wasn't. You'd be surprised what companies need help with.

Aren't these the standard vector space axioms? I seem to recall that they were defined in a quite similar way in my class.

Of course, you can simply the definition if you can say "vector spaces form a group and also satisfy these axioms with respect to scalar multiplication", but then you need to introduce groups first, which would be a distraction.
Mostly true, this would be protected mode 16bit code (286), not DOS code or real mode code. Protected mode 16bit code was rare and thus support was less needed.
Yes, there's a great blog post that describes how this functionality is really helpful to manage your life as lots of little spreadsheets [1].

For me that's the true advantage of Org over Markdown. It has timestamps, spreadsheets and links with citations (e.g. a DOI link type). Plus the ability to get programmatic document views using org-agenda. I can manage my whole life in a really minimal and uncomplicated way.

Of course, you can develop a really fancy Org setup. But I think a minimal one, with these features and defaults is really good enough. Plus, not hard to learn.

I don't know who would willingly pick Qt to do anything. It's a massive pain in the ass to use, the licensing is expensive and convoluted, and it codes like you're 20 years behind.

well the institution of the market relies upon the institution of the gov, and is "based" in this sense not on "faith" -- but on the monopoly of violence of the state to enforce the laws which enable market activity

the sense of "based" relevant to market behaviour, though, is whether buy/sell/etc. activity (ie., trader actions) is based on faith or not -- and it is largely, not

each action is the result of an evidenced-belief, and as the quality of the evidence improves, and spreads, the market changes. It is (inefficiently) responsive to evidence, rather than based in faith.
Well, if I worked for a surveillance company, I would expect my co-workers to be dubious at least.

I wonder why they use slack to post images. What went wrong when employees were trained on handling personal data? Would they also post images of clients on a slack channel?

This paints a clear picture. There should not be a place in anything IT that regularly handles confidential information. This might have been the sales team, but especially in their industry it should be dogmatically condemned.

Trust is key in security and sadly the industry has become a shame for anything remotely connected to tech and nobody gets any safer here.

It likely will never have support. AMD chose to bifurcate their GPU designs into compute (CDNA) and games (RDNA) lines, with different architectures. RDNA sheds all the fancy features needed to support modern compute, thus gets more efficient in games that do not use it, but also cannot support the modern compute APIs.

I don't think it's meant to be a joke, but I don't think it's right either, in English.

In modern Greek, the top poster is correct, μ IS pronounced "Me" or [Mi] (spelled as μι). Here is a YouTube video of a Greek person going through the alphabet, linked to μ. [1]

However, in English this was never used, at least not recently, and its not a "mathematicians" thing. English pronunciation of Greek letters was fixed around the 16th century (see [2] for a tiny bit of history) and was an attempt to use the classical Greek pronunciations, though probably not a very successful one.

If you're going to complain about μ, then hopefully you also complain about π, which in modern Greek is pronounced like "pee," not "pie," and so would make π-day very different...

I take your point, but in fact my argument is for Org, specifically. I've tried tons of options, from things like Evernote to very different approaches like GTD with an all-physical tickler file. I also picked up and dropped Org/Emacs a couple of times before they really "clicked" - but once they did, they clicked for good.

Obviously no system is going to be the objectively superior choice for everyone, but I think there's a very strong case to be made for Org for anyone who (a) finds the plain-text approach to this problem appealing and (b) wants agenda/calendaring functionality built right on top of the other organizational functions.

This is something like the 30th or 40th time I've seen a documented instance of toxic "bro" culture in sales/marketing groups.

I think there is a lot to be said for the business plan concept of intentionally NOT hiring "sales" people who come from a traditional sales/marketing background. Have a compelling product and website marketing material about it that doesn't require outbound sales efforts to go hunt down the customers.

My personal theory is that aggressive outbound sales attracts the sort of personality that may be more likely to engage in many possible manners of outlandish behaviour.

The best essay assignment I got during my sculpture degree was to pick the work of art that I liked the least and write about why I disliked it so much. It's an excellent practice that often leads to an appreciation of the work, or at the very least an understanding of other people's pleasure in it, which in itself can be enlightening. It's difficult to do without the discipline of an essay - just thinking about it doesn't force you to explicitly articulate your dislike as much - although it's also possible in cordial discussions with someone who does like it. I came round to artists like Rachel Whiteread and Tracey Emin because of that process and it widened my horizons considerably.
Bright side - they have so much material, that weighting it is not really that much of a concern. They were hopeful to get maybe 50 grams of material, they got about 400g, but maybe 100g will be lost. They won't have exact number, but they will have more than expected anyway.
