A Facebook Fan Page is a business page that behaves similarly to a Facebook Profile. In this case, it is a verified Facebook Fan Page that represents and hosts content by Stephen K. Bannon.

It is equivalent to an official YouTube channel or Twitter account. It is not a "fan page" in the sense that you mean.

Edit: It looks like you may have edited your comment. I think it's important to emphasize that this isn't some random Facebook "fan page", but the official page of Steve Bannon, and it's a verified business page.

Genuine question because our tab handling strategies seem to differ - how frequently do you return to a given tab? Do you keep them for reference in some way, or is it more out of concern of having to navigate back over again?
> and they can run in parallel.

Even without requiring the GIL, these are still child threads of the main process, correct? And because of that, wouldn't the OS keep them all on the same core? And if that's the case, would ProcessPoolExecutor solve that problem?
All of these are mainstream beliefs in America. Most of them are mainstream on this website. You’re imagining persecution where there is none.
4, 7, and 10 are issues I've only experienced on systems running the proprietary NVIDIA driver. The cause isn't always clear, but I've easily had the most unexplainable graphical issues/crashes on my desktop with a GTX 980 compared to any of my Intel laptops running very similar software. Tend to chalk it up to that as a result.

We've got a old legacy multiplatform app that supported OS X for years. Looked at updating it for Catalina, was going to be a massive amount of work, since Apple also killed XWindows and updated OpenGL in some breaking way. Decided it wasn't worth spending months on it.

Still get a regular trickle of emails from schools complaining about it. I tell them to call Cupertino.
No, actually, I don't think Terms of Service get to override antitrust laws. We recognize there's a value in having a diverse set of options that compete with each other when it comes to business.

We also recognize there's a value in having a diverse set of opinions presented so people can decide on them based on their merits and the best ones can rise to the top. This does mean that sometimes bad opinions are presented, just like sometimes companies that turn out to be bad ideas get started. The solution is not place all authority in the hands of some central dictator who picks the winners and losers beforehand. There is no person or organization capable of reliably filling that role.

If the scenario is an attack by the USA, there are so many better avenues.

If a country wants to defend from this (assuming they are heavily invested in Apple hardware), they just have to block at their firewalls. Done.
Tunnels in urban areas are wildly expensive, but it’s a cool vision. I would settle for elevated tracks.
I was in middle school in the 80’s and found history to be excruciatingly boring. I don’t think any of it stuck because I just didn’t care, it was just a bunch of adults adulting and I had no understanding.

It wasn’t until I was in high school that I had any appreciation for the human side of it all and how it was so much more than things that happened before I was born.

So, to be fair, it’s entirely possible this was part of our education and I just reserved zero synapses to its retention.

Have you guys published any whitepaper on this subject? These last few years working on moderately large python codebases with dynamic typing have been less than idilic.
I mean, this isn't really about my looks per se, just the growing sense that I've been the beneficiary of positive discrimination to give anecdotal corroboration to the study. That said, people have repeatedly told me I look like Jude Law and Tobey Maguire. I have repeatedly been a focus of group discussion among strangers, "which celebrity does this guy look like?" Strangers also ask "Do I know you from somewhere?" No, I'm just pleasing to look at in a familiar, trustworthy sort of way.

In my teens/early 20s was so common for women to approach me and tell me I have beautiful eyes that I didn't realize they were expressing interest. At my first programming job, a chinese woman came up to me and haltingly said (yes, this was a programming joke): "your eyes are so captivating, like a python's." I said thank you. She blushed and rushed away.

My control here is that my weight fluctuates between 150-180, though, and when I'm heavier and I don't shave, the attention vanishes. Humans are just apes trying to be near the best apes. I'm glad I got a nice mannequin to walk around in, and I'm glad it compensates for the fact that I'm an objectively pretty weird dude. But it kind of sucks in every direction - beauty prevents people from getting really important negative social feedback, and often just exempts people from social consequences and warps their sense of reality. Likewise, preference-ing physical attributes over competence has to drive hilariously iniquitous outcomes, leaving a lot of smart, capable people in inferior positions.

While I'm just talking about random stuff: taking pride in one's appearance is off putting because you didn't earn it. Likewise, being smart/likeable/socially capable are also things that people generally haven't earned. All of the good things in our lives are arbitrary, as are all of the bad things. The things we work for are the only things that are of value - "our actions are our one true possession."

So, what about the claims in Code Complete that codebases with larger functions and methods tended to have lower defect rates? I’m not sure that the prevalent bias in favor of lots of small functions is born out empirically.
I was at a dinner once with several medical residents and they mentioned that at one hospital, the surgical scrubs were color coded by size.

This meant that everyone knew which female residents were a larger size and which male residents were a smaller size. Everyone knew this which just added a distraction to an already information overloaded profession.

In a profession where the goal is identifying the people with top competencies, it never made sense to me who signed off on ordering that particular type of scrubs. I would have thought everyone should wear the same color or at least have the colors indicate something useful e.g. speciality.

How would they process into human-usable formats and get it distributed in time in the initial period after the nuclear exchange? Beans are easy, but I would imagine a large proportion of people don't even own a mortar and pestle or other means of improvising a flour mill.
It is certainly possible to improvise one, but access to information would also be disrupted immediately after a nuclear war so they couldn't just fire up youtube and watch one of these Primitive Technology videos on how to make a mill. We have forgotten the old ways and I fear many people would simply not be able to cope in a harsher environment without modern conveniences and comforts.

I'm not concerned about food shortages causing human extinction as such. Supermarkets with just-in-time logistics leave no buffer room while the feed is processed, but humans can survive 10's of days or longer without food (as long as they're hydrated, with some variability for body weight, access to vitamin supplements, and so on) and outside of major population centres (which are probably craters by this stage) you'd imagine a good part of the population have decent food stockpiles, and at least some farms would hopefully not be too affected by fallout and could continue producing enough food for at least a small village's worth of people. IIRC you need ~150 genetically healthy breeding pairs of humans to have enough diversity (assuming careful management to avoid inbreeding and so on) to viably repopulate the earth, which should be reasonable - although getting them all into one place might be harder.

Rather, I worry food riots and the associated issues such as blocked roads, torched buildings, looting, and so on could push a civilisation that is already severely damaged over the edge into total collapse.
... yes? Amazon has no obligation to do business with you.
There is a vast range of non-native eadible plants and animals that have now been introduced to every country.

That would make a huge difference compared with traditional indigenous societies. However farming does require steady state weather - which is unlikely after a nuclear war?
Excellent point. That's a vector of attack I chose not to include since I wanted to just focus on free speech, but yes, that is a valid argument. Unfortunately it looks like my comment and yours is getting downvoted without any engagement, but hopefully the people that seem to disagree will make their rebuttals.
If it's BGP, wouldn't it be known by outside parties, since it is logged and viewed by, for example, Cisco and Cloudflare? (Also from my personal experience on the outage, I can reach the video server but it timeouts with a proper error code, so it signals that it is beyond external-facing networking. So either bad internal networking or more likely a bad config change or stack deployment.)
Blocked both.

macOS is my favorite OS, but I don't need to use it. I was so psyched reading about the new Macbooks, and I've had to walk all that excitement back now. I cannot invest in a computer that locks me out of my job if a cable gets cut by a maintenance crew in Cupertino.
The "two corners of the White House" part is totally in line with the "heads on pikes". It is all part of the same figure of speech.

The part everybody is missing is "I'd actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England", which provides the context to understand the stuff people is having a meltdown about. This is not "heads on pikes" by a bunch of salvages; it is "heads on pikes" as part of the official policy of an absolutist State.

The way I read it, Bannon said: "I would have them face the death penalty, if there was a legal way to do so. And I would use their cases as deterrence from other would be traitors."

I don't see it as a call to have civilian supporters attempting against the lives of those two high ranking officials; but could be interpreted as a declaration of intent to pursue and extend draconian powers for the (Executive Branch of the) US Government. I will let you decide which of the two interpretation is gravest.
This makes complete sense for non obvious reasons. I enjoy writing software. I love it so much that I do it more outside work when I am not being paid.

First, in order to enjoy a job you have to be able to do the job. In most of my career as a software developer I have rarely written software. Corporate meetings mean time not writing software. Frameworks, gimmicks, excess tools, and other insecurity bullshit mean not actually writing software.

Currently I am a junior director managing a help desk. My staff at one point was a headcount of 14. I don’t like the subject matter and would never do this sort of work as a chosen profession but I absolutely love the job. I love it because I am actually doing a real job. I have people to manage, decisions to make, products to build, and still get my hands dirty working help desk tickets. It is sometime stressing, frequently exhausting, and very fulfilling. I don’t feel this writing corporate software.

Secondly, it helps to enjoy the people you work with. Corporate software has proven to be an odd dichotomy. On one hand I frequently find that everybody around me is super insecure. The idea of making/owning decisions or writing something truly original scares people into health problems. Sadly this isn’t an exaggeration.

The times where I have seen this turned around are teams of confident senior developers banding together under weak leadership. In this case the developers are generally secure in their performance and that personal security magnifies as developers come together for support against weakness in the form of soft (interpersonal) skills of their leadership. Most senior developers are pretty candid about their existence as tools to produce a product and just need guidance/direction to shield them from the stupidity and indecision further up the chain.

Finally there needs to be some level of professional growth. In most cases of writing corporate software this lack of direction only compounds existing problems, which is how you can regularly produce something so absurd as an expert beginner. An expert beginner is a toolsmith who has mastered use of common tools and configurations, like a rockstar ninja, but still can’t engineer any original solution to save their lives. In other words they are supremely good at the things popular among beginners, like becoming a world class expert of reading books for small children or paint by numbers.
As a non-American it always surprises me how much American's look for the past for guidance in the democracy and government. America was one of the first modern democracies, and people who wrote the constitution were the bleeding edge. All that was a long time ago and things have evolved.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Jan. 30, 2012:

>You should certainly be aided by all the constitution writing that has gone on since the end of World War II. I would not look to the U.S. Constitution if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012. I might look at the constitution of South Africa — that was a deliberate attempt to have a fundamental instrument of government that embraced basic human rights, had an independent judiciary. It really is, I think, a great piece of work that was done. Much more recently than the U.S. Constitution, Canada has the Charter of Rights and Freedoms — dates from 1982. You would almost certainly look at the European Convention on Human Rights. So, yes, why not take advantage of what there is elsewhere in the world?

> None of which you were willing to enumerate...

Because it's pretty obvious. You're trying to score some cheap rhetorical points, and I decline to give them to you.

> Protections of free speech are much weaker in most of the rest of the free and rich world. Why don’t those negative effects show up there?

They don't at the moment show up strongly in most of the rest of the free and rich world. They show up in, for example, China. (Though negative effects show up in England from their libel laws, for example. They just aren't as flagrant as what you see in China.)

To put the burden of proof on the other foot: Is there any reason to think that the absence of FA-type free speech guarantees is making things better in the rest of the free and rich world? If not, I'll keep the guarantee, because I really like being able to say what I please.

>> Is it then become necessary, that a free people should first resign their right of suffrage into other hands besides their own, and then, secondly, that they to whom they resign it should be compelled to choose men, whose persons, characters, manners, or principles they know nothing of?

What I find lacking about that argument is the principle also applies to Congress, just change "choose men" to "pass laws".

The apportioning of Electoral Votes is identical to that of Congressional seats.

The method of filling Electoral seats (decided by state legislature) is identical to how Senatorial seats were filled prior to passage of the 17th Amendment.

With all that, I think it's fair to think of the electoral College as a single-use, single-purpose Congress. I wonder if starting with that as a prior would improve discussions about changing the EC.
Traders however tend to have:

A - A pretty numerical mindset. Sit in front of their computers all day. Know their processes inside-out.

B - Perhaps not formally trained, but working with data, Bloomberg extracts, a self-taught sense in normalising data.

C - If there's an Excel function that saves time, they know it. This also leads to trader-as-a-developer with personal VBA scripts as that's good enough and there's an IDE in Excel that doesn't need layers of approval to use (which is obviously a disaster) - this also means thinking "If I can do this in Excel in a day, why does it need a development team of 5 to do in a month?"

D - Fast turn-around. That means keeping on top of messages, dates, calendar. And a sense of prioritising this without needing a system to do it. And messages pumped through mail, phone, BBM, conversations all tied together.

E - Don't want to be Nick Leeson and have a grudging acceptance that compliance and audit is a thing.

F - Except when they don't.

Contrast that to typical clerical roles where these things are somewhat 'slower paced' and doing things with Excel/following-up emails becomes a disaster - not in all cases, but in many.

> Additionally, without the very dense energy in the easily accessible fossil fuels we've very nearly mined out, restarting an industrial revolution would be at best extremely problematic.

I feel like this is the more important of the two points you made.

Even without Uranium, it's conceivable to have a second industrial revolution. We don't need nuclear power for that.

But without easily accessible fossil fuels, it's much harder to envision the next civilization having an industrial revolution. They might indeed never rise to our level of technology again.
A big part of this is that Docker Desktop is not open source/free software: it's closed and proprietary, so you're at the mercy of Apple/Docker to fix it.

umunhum:

>> Patanjali has given one process of how to still the mind which has a break through point of pratyahara - non-attachment. When we perceive we unsettle the potential energy of the perceived object and that resonates in our senses to trigger thinking.

> Perceive - to become aware of, know, or identify by means of the sense.

> When something stimulates us the energy of the stimulus starts us thinking about the stimulus.

>> When we think we get attached.

> This causes us to make a conclusion – hey something is stimulating us

>> If we learn not to perceive by setting aside the thinking process the mind is made non-attached and our core is still.

> If we learn not to be stimulated by the senses by not thinking about what is stimulating us, the mind does not make a conclusion – hey something is stimulating us.

> How do you set aside the thinking process?

>> The objects of the world have life within and life spells movements.

> Things in the world are made up of life that moves

>> By not attaching to it we achieve stillness which works on the primary cause.

> By not making conclusions, the mind in not active.

> I like Eckhart Tolle's metaphor that explains how important the space is between the thoughts. Think of a room with many valuable things in it. But if you were to pick what is the most valuable thing in the room, it is nothing or no thing. Space is the most valuable thing in the room because without the space, the room would have no utility value or wouldn't exist. The space is where the stillness is.

Yes. It's the negatives you were unwilling to enumerate.
