>Why would the company give him anything more than acknowledgement?

Because there is a level above "doing the absolute minimum necessary" that is a nice-to-have, but not at all mandatory nor expected.

It seems like everyone is purposefully going out of their way to not understand that throwing him a freebee that's cheap compared to the cost of engineering time (e.g. a nintendo switch) would be a pleasant thing to do and a way to buy goodwill.
Thank you very much for the kind feedback and your support! I will try my best to improve the loading times.
I don't think I touched most of it, but as a dumbass kid who didn't know how to code yet, I remember taking advantage of:

- layers

- keyframes: you could mark frames as keyframes (per layer, I think?) and then "tween" the contents which would handle animating the movement (and maybe other transforms?) from one key frame to another

- action script for interactivity
Guix and NixOS are a generation ahead of other distributions. It's great to see Guix's focus on trust and reproducibility.

If they can grow enough to be able to support LTS, they'll be a compelling choice for enterprise too.
That's the low estimate, based on recovered losses:

But we do know that the total amount of money recovered for the victims of wage theft who retained private lawyers or complained to federal or state agencies was at least $933 million—almost three times greater than all the money stolen in robberies that year.

https://www.epi.org/publication/epidemic-wage-theft-costing-...

High is $50 billion.

2019 workforce was 164 million.

-> $305/worker.

Anyone doing that is just a bad conversationalist. I bring up stuff all the time that I read about on HN/Internet, but I do it to foster discussion and keep things interesting, not to lecture people. Conversely, I know people who will talk for 20 minutes or longer on end, despite clear signals that I'm no longer interested, to the point where they have to be firmly interrupted.

1. Enough armor can reduce space radiation to Earth levels, or even lower. And protect against space junk. It's just currently expensive to launch.

2. Spinning habitats create artificial gravity (though astronauts on the ISS do okay in zero g for months or more). No new tech advances necessary.

Humans are nothing if not adaptable and ingenious. Space is just next in a long line of "inhospitable" areas we've colonized.
GNU/Linux. As in my top post - kernel 5.9. Arch's wiki page is close to useless for Zen2. Renoir currently reports comically low `scaling_available_frequencies` - in my case:
`1700000 1600000 1400000` even when plugged in.
Yes to all 3 questions.
It really doesn't matter. Once you get experience cooking you can just improvise most things and know what flavors will work together in what amounts. As mentioned elsewhere baking is entirely different, though.
You can use your coffee cup for coffee and hardly wash it.
> It should also be noted that neither fiat currencies nor currencies backed by precious metals are guaranteed to maintain their value and are usually not the most secure means of long term wealth storage.

The promise of an absence of inflation (which I agree is not the same as a gold-backed currency; moderate price inflation took place throughout the Bretton Woods era) is a guarantee that currency will hold its's value; that's tautological. Which obviously isn't the case for people speculating on timing the market for gold. And taking away the ability for prices on average to rise reduces the yield and increases the risk on investments in production or extension of credit. If you make currency an attractive component of rich people's portfolios, you decrease the proportion of their wealth invested in the wider economy (and since achieving zero inflation means artificially maintaining these rich people's purchasing power, if they scale back their investments everyone else just has to work harder for less...). Which is why an absence of inflation isn't a good thing for workers.
This isn't a study, it's a PR piece, and it was debunked months ago. CFD is a poor tool for this kind of analysis:

I think it's patronizing to assume that someone is doing something out of a "false sense of comfort" instead of simply that it's easier for them to wear a mask 100% of the time than to take it on/off whenever they come near someone.
Is there any college debt that you would like your tax dollars to help repay?

FWIW, Mills College doesn't seem to offer a degree in Russian Literature - https://catalog.mills.edu/undergraduate/majors-minors/ and https://catalog.mills.edu/graduate/programs/creative-writing... .
The first example is explained a bit too quickly, so it’s not that intuitive. It seems this hospital has one patient the first day, two on the second, three on the third, and so on. I guess that’s a “schedule” but it seems more like a history of what happened?

It’s not a “list of patients” either, which had me thinking they were patient ids. A better phrase would be a “list of patient counts”.
I NEVER go within 10 feet of people on a trail without a mask. The rule is 6 feet, and I add the extra few feet to remove ambiguity. When I go to certain trails in the Boulder, CO area, there are many "mask nazis" who clearly are extremely paranoid, and on a power trip. They will absolutely not hesitate to scold and holler despite me walking off the trail and not going anywhere near them. Your assumption that everyone is rational and people getting scolded is a sign of their guilt is just wrong.

For anyone that lives in the area, the worst are the Nederland residents. Territorial assholes when there isn't a pandemic, and now they feel empowered to really let you have it. Going 10 miles south to trails in Jefferson County, and as long as you stay 6 feet or more, people smile and tell you to have a nice hike.
There probably are many, you have to name your poison and search for books about it.

Almost any really major technology or tech company likely has had a book or two written about it. Some examples off the top of my head:

The HP Way

The IBM Way

The New Magicians (Microsoft)

Heard of Fire in The Valley but not read it

The Soul of a New Machine

Hackers by Steven Levy

Sure to be many books about Unix

The Art of Unix Programming (more on tech, but a good amount of history)

There probably are more books about (in no particular order):

Dell, Sun Micro, Compaq, DEC, Novell, SCO, IBM, Wordstar, WordPerfect, Lotus (both company and tech), dBASE, Borland, Microsoft, AutoCAD, Adobe, HP, Silicon Graphics, Tandem, Ardent, Amdahl, Wang, Toshiba, Acer, Sony, Sinclair, Commodore, Atari, Acorn, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, LinkedIn, Amazon, Netflix, Apple and a host of lesser-known or older companies, both in the US and elsewhere. The list above has non-US companies too.

It's fun to read about the history of our field. I keep doing a bit of it now and then.
So what happens if we put air purifiers with HEPA filter (1) indoors then? Has anyone measured this?

(1) HEPA filters have good filtration efficiency even at particle sizes smaller than MPPS https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/high-effici... and an adequately powered one can recirculate room air in 10-15 minuters

I expect the following is not novel to you, but would you share how you address it with your patients and in this study?

In my experience - not based on professional expertise - when people are very concerned about what others will think, in regard to any topic, it is due to a lack of self-worth or self-understanding. They want others to fill that hole, to provide the answer or esteem that they have trouble providing to themselves; they put enormous power in others' opinions. The solution is not to talk about what others think but to find help them find those things within themselves - how do they feel about their choice, their action, their physical being.

This study (which I understand might represent only one aspect of your strategy with patients) focuses only on what others think as an answer to the patients' uncertainty. It seems to assume that the worth of the patients' own bodies depends on pleasing others, that the value of this body part is as objects of pleasure for others. And of course we know well that our society sends that message to women, about this body party in particular, very often.

And to avoid any misunderstanding, I'm not setting up some argumentative binary concept that people don't care at all how they look. To varying degrees, everyone cares. But I worry far more about the self-esteem and emotional health of the patients than I do about how their breasts look (Edit: And I assume you do too and are acting in good faith). For their breasts, the only person to please is themselves.
China sure stopped it.
I think the cold storage issues are a bit overblown.

Apparently the pfizer and Moderna vaccines will keep for 30 days at refrigerator temps after thawing out. You can ship in dry ice and then I can't imagine the vaccine sitting around in any doctors office or pharmacy for longer than 30 days.

Intel's reference designs for thunderbolt are behind NDAs so it's a pain in the ass to implement on a PCB and I don't think the controllers themselves (or their datasheets) are easily sourceable either. The Pi foundation has probably got the pull to do it but it would take quite a bit of effort since it would make the Pi an easily available competing reference design, possibly running into internal politics at Intel.
Quoting carbon monoxide as of it were a unique product of a battery fire immediately casts doubt as to any of this being a legitimate concern. Getting something so wrong ruins the credabity of the rest of the piece. (every fire involving carbon produces some CO especially when oxygen is limited and combustion becomes less and less complete)
Unions lose a lot of power during globalization anyway. Even if they had hung on to membership, what would they do?
Sure - a manual screwdriver versus an electric screwdriver.
Water's cost is much less than the cost of energy because supply is high. If water was more scarce (or if water rights weren't screwy in many places), it would be much more expensive, and it definitely would be more of a limiter.

Also, you somehow equated the complete lack of a resource with a price increase. What would the effect on the GDP be without any energy? Well, we might not all be dead, but a significant portion of us might for various reasons including wars and massive world unrest because of instability. Even if you ignore all that, the economy as we know it would grind to a halt.
The "lottery ticket" model is additive: 100 minor exposures adds up. The "threshold" model isn't: 100 minor exposures is no risk.
I get uncomfortable how this is probably true with all these smart TVs as well (especially the budget TVs). I set up piHole to try to prevent this but nothing stops it from phoning home via a direct IP. It sucks because all our electronics get poisoned since good brands get squashed out by these low cost alternatives that consumers love at the expense of privacy that no one cares about anymore. Also, another crazy thing is ISP provided routers. I was unable to change the DNS on my modem/router, let alone change the security settings.

Side project vs. business with paying customers and bus factor is a different equation.
If Qualcomm is implementing it then it should be easy enough to break. Qualcomm's secure enclave software for Android has had an absolutely abysmal security track record. Apple gets all the press precisely because it's such an achievement (well, that and Apple is more well known). Qualcomm hacks have come out like every 6 months for nearly a decade, and nobody cares anymore.
I don't think a preprocessor can help in this situation, since what's ultimately being read is the data, and the offsets to be read can't be computed without looking at it.
The window is measured in size and location. A window that includes fascism can be big or small, but is likely very far to the right.

Similarly, a window that includes legalizing cocaine while banning political speech would need to be very large, ranging from far left to far right.
You write it at the end "improvements that were derived purely from the business investing in productivity enhancements".

Don't forget investment involves risk.

If you buy a backhoe, you might not find customers and you are left with useless backhoe and money spent, you still have to pay the wages to your employees first. Employee is not participating in any of that risk.
Why wear mask below nose when I am far away from everyone?

Why not just take it off? I want to have easy access to move it up when needed. I am typically just walking and the weather is cool these days, so I do not experience sweating. Also since the hot air is not exhaled directly into the mask, it prevents/slows down the heating of the mask.

Why not wear it fully? I find it easier sometimes to breathe without a mask. So, when it is safe to do so, I lower it.
> With Java I've seen an increasing problem with programming style in large projects because of it's kitchen sink support of so many paradigms.

Java is pretty much the purest classic class-based OOP language of all industrially-significant languages. It has constructs inspired by those from other paradigms, especially FP, transposed into a class-based OOP context, but it's pretty much the last language I’d point it as suffering (or benefiting) from “support of so many paradigms”.
Sift for intelligent and hungry candidates that can grow into the senior roles. You're offering the incentive of greater responsibility and the opportunity to grow beyond their current level. To retain them long term, you're going to have to up the ante on salary etc.
Or the people who don't want to eat at restaurants and walk past people on a trail should just stay home. I certainly haven't seen the evidence that these are risky activities. You can't eliminate any risk without literally putting everyone in quarantine by themselves.

This was pretty much my experience in pre-COVID Hong Kong (which got hit by the first SARS earlier).
Discrete math, computer science, etc. are sciences (although some people claim math is not a science... that's a discussion for another day).
Software engineering, like all forms of engineering, is applied science plus processes based on empirical evidence.
MediaRecorder API
Absolutely. This only helps to nerf the knowledge loss from teammates leaving the project, nothing more.
I disagree.

You can certainly fix known knowns, but you can't fix unknown unknowns. Sometimes its safer to simply apply a rule that you have confidence will work everywhere than fix that may introduce unsuspecting problems.
Did anyone else think, before clicking, that this would be a service to order a quilt in which each square is a friend or family member's picture of them as if they were on a 'Zoom' call?
LOL, as if people actually learn productive skills in college.
I don't think you understood my comment - it was raising the question where the line actually is, and if the line is drawn more upon cultural norms than solid engineering principles. That isn't an argument the code of the OP is a good idea, it isn't, the question is if there are large categories of code we write that ought to be defensive but aren't, or vice versa.
The variable cost of bandwidth is orders of magnitude lower than electricity. I suspect this subsidy is much lower than you might think.
How about reading N-15 fast (assuming varints can be as small as a byte) and the rest with bounds-checking? Is N generally too small for that to be useful?

You might also be able to heuristically compare buffer address modulo the page size to N to know whether you need to be safe or not.
I'm not sure whether this is irony or not.

I think I would quibble with the first point, as retail losses are demonstrable, and wage theft is hard to quantify with any certainty. But in any case, I don’t think it matters so much in light of your second point, with which I strongly agree.
>The advertising industry is nearly a trillion dollar industry -- if a large amount of that value is going to the consumer why hasn't there been massive innovation in selling to it directly to the consumer?

But a hefty part of that value does come from selling it to the consumer, as long as he or she is interested. Advertising, and especially online advertising have both "democratized" greatly as the ad industry has grown over recent decades, and smaller business, so many of them belonging to consumers in other contexts, use this same consumer data to try benefitting their own bottom line.

Spouse of a medical practice manager at a mid-sized practice here. Provider data is wildly variable in quality, to be sure. But if the insurance companies are trying to clean the data, they're not using the 'result' to make the system more efficient (except maybe for them at the expense of everyone else), because "we get bad data" gives them another reason to deny the claim. My wife and all of her peers spend inordinate amounts of their time responding to valid insurance denials, quoting chapter and verse of IDC10. Some insurers are so notorious (as in 'deny every claim up front...make them work for it hoping they'll give up') my wife drafts the response to the denial along with the initial request, because she knows it's automatically coming. This makes the automation possibilities that electronic patient management systems offer less effective, because to get paid the practitioner still has to manually intercede in way too many claims.

Another bit of collateral damage is the increasing number of providers who no longer take insurance of any kind and put the onus on the patient to file (and fight) with the insurance companies.
Right. Because 40 year old UNIX is equivalent to the behemoth a Full-fledged 2020 desktop/Notebook operating system.

There’s probably millions of bits and bytes that are not trivially portable and more for a single person to even grasp an overview of in his or her lifetime. There were assumedly tens of thousands of software engineers involved.

From what I understand, the main technological blocker (as opposed to various political and economic blockers) is the need for superconductors to achieve reasonable energy efficiency. With cheap energy, that's less of a pressing need (and further, cheap energy = more energy to throw at cryogenic cooling systems to induce superconductivity in less-exotic materials).
And multiplication is a fancy convolution (with carries).

Fast convolution algorithms use FFT and run in O(n log n) time, which is why fast multiplication algorithms are based on FFT and why everyone was looking for O(n log n) one, which was found like a year ago.

(Though from what i can tell in "Faster Convolutions" section the article claims you can easily build O(n log n) multiplication using FFT which doesn't work as it ignores carries)

I definitely miss having the option to work from the office.

I miss the commute time ( never more than an hour and a half on the busiest of commutes ) and the transition from home to work and work to home again.

I don't think I cared for doing either full time; office or working from home. So I liked being able to mix it up. The variation of it was refreshing.

I liked experiencing the increased likelihood of encountering unexpected events and people. The greater randomness of experience.
That was my first thought too, but I don't see why that would be categorized as a 'harrowing experience.'
There are also some recent suspicions that Intel may be playing games with the Math Kernel Library (again?): https://level1techs.com/video/intel-throttling-mkl-performan... .

Quotable from the article.

>is an overreach that recalls Intel’s behavior from the early 2000s in the most unflattering of ways. If I want to know whether the company building the fastest CPU core on a per-clock, per-watt basis thinks AMD’s product stack is valid on the basis of its on-battery performance, I’ll ask Apple.
That's fair. I haven't gone down the rabbit hole of reading everything he's said on the subject, and that was mainly in response to https://www.stallman.org/archives/2006-may-aug.html#05%20Jun... . And I do get (and agree with) your analogy, too.

For full disclosure, I think you can make a reasonable case for at least some of what he said in the link I just posted. For instance, an 18 year old having sex with their 17 year old partner doesn't automatically make it non-consensual, and lots of states have so-called "Romeo and Juliet" laws that agree. That's where the call for caution and careful phrasing come in: does he intend to mean it's OK for an 18 year old and a 17 year old to date (which I'd agree with), or for a 40 year old and a 15 year old (which I'd vehemently not agree with)? If what he meant was the former, I wish he would have clearly stated so and avoided the whole issue. If it really is the latter, then there's no way I'd attempt to defend that or be willing to consider the nuance (and more than I'd be willing to consider your analogy).

>Wow, Microsoft added TLS to RDP way back in Windows Vista (cite: I worked on it)

Since you seem to be an expert on this, can you explain how exactly it's implemented? When connecting to a remote machine, the sequence of events goes something like this:

1. enter ip, click "connect"

2. login prompt shows up

3. enter username/password, click "ok"

4. self signed certificate warning shows up, asks me to accept/reject the certificate

5. after accepting the certificate, the connection succeeds and I can see the other machine.

This sequence of events makes me think that the password authentication step isn't done over TLS at all, or is done over TLS but is vulnerable to MITM attacks. Can you confirm/deny whether this is accurate?
