This assumes direct managers want productive developers - this is not my experience. The goal of managers is to increase the number of people they manage, and get more money. I have time and again done things fast only to have blocks put in place to slow things down - no one wants the job done easily and go home, where's the money in that. The inability to measure productivity is a direct result of this imho.
Unless you're on an older iOS device. (I still have my iPad 4, and it doesn't allow ad blocking, not even in Firefox, which I use.)
Thanks for sharing, Tom. I grew up playing Ambrosia games. I spent countless hours on all the Escape Velocity games. Loved every minute!

it feels like something that won’t be regained from that era

How might you attribute these feelings? Is it the vastly increased competition in games and the race to the bottom in mobile app stores? Microtransactions and monetization strategies?

I still try to support a lot of my favourite indie developers. I buy Spiderweb software games because I played them so much as a kid. I think it’s awesome that Jeff can still keep doing what he loves.
Noam Chomsky on Anti-Americanism: "In Soviet Union, people calling out crimes of the state against it's own people were called anti-russian: Sakharov, Solzhanitsin. That's a sign of totalitarianism. America is the only other country that does that. Imagine someone calling someone anti-italian -- they would be laughed at." (paraphrasing)

Every time I hear "anti-American", I'm reminded of this

It's 40HP, this is a small farm or utility tractor. The big harvesters and monster tractors they use for tilling 100s of acres at a time are a whole other league.
I voted yes. I get a flu jab every year, including this year.
This isn't true. The move to the open office was NOT because of a city tax on the number of private offices. For this to be remotely true someone would need to audit each building / floor.

Could you point to a government website with additional information?
A single shot isn't a war.
Yep, that was it. Thanks for that. I'll remember the next time something like that happens to search for the domain in /etc/hosts
It's over. The country belongs to the people of the United States as it was intended to be. December 14th is coming and nothing will stop it now.
Funny because I'm running a ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 2, last night I put my laptop down, closed the lid, didn't connect a charger, came back an hour later and my battery was at only 1% and died after opening the lid.

Running Linux 5.9, but it's been doing this on occasion for a while now.
I'd say paradice is Las Vegas. And he wanted to move there ? Also maybe the sentences order is a lot more garbled than the "death is life" part.
Agreed, seems one could more accurately diagnose the so-called SJWs with Munchausen by proxy.

Though they are known to invent entirely new classes of victim into which categories they conveniently happen to fall.
There's a chicken and egg situation. Companies do choose to locate in California because of talent, but talent also chooses California because of great companies. If enough great companies leave, the talent will leave, too.

More than a Third of Adult Americans Are Unwilling or Unsure about Taking a COVID-19 Vaccine

Doesn't seem like mid-90s property appreciation in Seattle could have been pinned on Californians anyway. Wouldn't it have been more related to Microsoft, a gigantic and extremely successful company with an in-house Porsche dealership among other perks?

I see a similar defective thought process right here in Berkeley, CA. Everyone here blames housing demand on peninsula companies like Facebook, Apple, and Google but it's a fact that employment right here in the city of Berkeley has been allowed to double in the last 30 years while the city built zero net dwellings. We can try to blame it on distant villains but the gentrification, to borrow a meme, is coming from inside the house.
Wait, so Slack has single-digit million users and sold for $27 billion?
I suppose we could argue about the definition of context free, but the compiler lexes it without any reference to the parser, and the parser builds the AST without any reference to symbols or semantic meaning.

> spell checking ... using context-free parsers

Only up to a point. D's spell checker uses the symbols in scope as its "dictionary". This means it is very good at guessing what you meant instead of what is typed, as the dictionary is very targeted. I.e. it uses the context, and the spell checker is part of the semantic pass.
ive had SARS-1 back in 2003 it wasnt fun. ive had SARS-2 it was like absolutely nothing and was confusing the lab because i tested positive for the SARS-2 covid virus but had antibodies to it. i am now a donor of plasma for antibody infusions, and i expose myself to the virus everytime i can and have not tested positive for the virus.

you need 2 shots due to the way the virus interacts with the immune system on first time ever exposure. the 2nd shot actually sets you up for lasting immunity so it is CRITICAL, to get that second dose, or, _not recommended_, but a second exposure to the live virus.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priming_(immunology)

long and short of it is, it would be a waste of resources for me to be vaccinated, it wouldnt do me any good and my body will no longer allow the virus to incubate.
In the 1950's without modern media, social networks, etc., it was a lot easier to sweep some scandal or other major bit of unpleasantness under the rug.
Can you describe a threat model that any medium-sized application --- low tens of microservices, mid-single-digits instances of most of them --- would ever not need revocation? Help me understand where your proposed 24-hour "passive revocation" actually works.
There is some nuance to this. CA deliberately defines anybody who is in CA "other than for a transitory purpose" as a CA resident (for tax purposes). So if you happen to reside in TX but come to Redwood City for a couple weeks and work there, for example, CA can come after you. I am fairly certain this will happen more often once increasing numbers of people vote with their feet.
Especially since that kind of legal aspect highly depend on how much companies are willing to fight, and the state of mind of the judges. And in a not so distant past, Intel warned MS and PC vendors doing some ARM stuff that it might be willing to fight. As for the state of mind of the judges, it is difficult to predict...

But it can be different. Depends on the magic formulas you use for your claims, and whether you are actually permitted to patent software in the first place (with or without other magic formulas usually stating that said software is executed by some hardware).

And in places where it is not supposed to be possible to patent software, patent offices are usually nevertheless accepting them, because it gives them money so why not? :P

TLDR it is a mess. Depends on an insane nmuber of contextual factors, and as unpredictable as the outcome of Oracle vs. Google before the verdict. Or maybe even more unpredictable.
Look up B&O taxes. There’s often a square footage requirement to it and depending on where you are, there can be a surcharge or additional fee for what they deem distinct workspaces. So if it has a door, that’s a new place. Whereas open and more disparate spaces do not. Again, all of this is extremely dependent on where you operate and can vary based on what type of business you’re in, etc. etc.

I wish I had more direct information. I was informed of this by a tax attorney, when I was complaining about how our shared employer was shifting away from individual offices, which had been a hallmark of the company and corporate culture. He told me that there had been some changes to the local B&O tax law that helped make the argument to to shared/team/open spaces. I did some research and found he was right, though again, the specifics are going to differ depending on where you are, what business you’re in, the size of the business, etc.
Right, but running 30% of your searches a second time, after looking through unhelpful results on the first attempt, takes more than a few ms.
People constantly conflate "freedom of speech" with the protection granted by the first amendment.

That's right up to and including Randal Munroe, who said "The right to free speech means the government can't arrest you for what you say"

That's not freedom of speech, that's the first amendment protections of freedom of speech... and it doesn't even adequately describe the protections. There are other things the government isn't allowed to do besides arrest you. They can't force you to say something, either. They can't prohibit certain opinions from being expressed in government owned or regulated channels.

And freedom of speech can be infringed on or limited by other entities than the government.

A better description would be "principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or sanction." This means that if you're forced into silence by threat of retaliation from, say, a religious sect or political group in your area, it's still infringing on your freedom of speech even if they aren't part of the government.
How is this cost saving achieved? At the risk of being reductive, surely the container is either in memory and ready to serve requests or it isn't?
haha again point proven. Thanks for that! There are 244 more points to go so hit away.
Though I too am surprised that YouTube is setting such a precedent for fine-grained moderation, we cannot pretend as if this is an "infringement of our rights." YouTube is running a for-profit website, you don't have the "right" to a spot on their platform.

YouTube has made the careful calculation that the people who are turned off by this ban are far outweighed by public support, and will reduce their contribution to toxic behavior and instability in the country.
I see the point you’re making but cooking for others is one of my greatest joys —- I don’t consider it “crappy” work. And independence has its downsides. Sterile, impotent loneliness is not a future I look forward to. Everything has trade offs.
Airbnb's concept is to be a bed and breakfast or "b and b". A bed and breakfast model is where a person rents a room in an owner's home and in the morning breakfast is made by the owner. Airbnb has completely gone off the rails. Buying up entire apartment buildings is not a bed and breakfast business it's a hotel corporation called by a different name.
Riley Reid Estimated MRR: $743,862.34

My parents just recovered from COVID and were told by their doctor that the current thinking is getting COVID gives you immunity for at least 90 days. Could be more, but they are not telling people to rely on it beyond 90.

Where did you get the information that it was several years?
I am using a ThinkPad :)

Again, mostly it's great, but when I go to bed a night, I have a lot of "remember to plug the charger in" anxiety, it's a constant source of anxiety for me.
The Hard Work of Imagining, ThingsCon 2020
Justice Scalia, an originalist conservative wrote that none of our Constitutional rights are unlimited.

He should be allowed to speak.

No one is obliged to listen.

Free agency supersedes speech. How is expecting anyone else to sit still any less fascist?

Common sense changes in time. It was perfectly common sense 13 colonies belonged to England.

It was perfectly common sense God created reality.

John Stuart Mill covered this in his writing about town drunks; cannot stop biology.

Emit whatever syntax sure. Being owed others to bend their agency to listen or act in accordance with the speech is nonsense.
It’s not the only reason. It’s certainly a reason in certain areas. Research B&O tax laws and loopholes and the intricacies therein.
I think this is a side project makers list.
I want to read something about side projects, a screenshot isn't enough.
I have a few past comments pointing out that whether electronic voting is seen as a valid reason to distrust American election results by the mainstream depends entirely on which party has the presidency. The most vivid demonstration of this was Wired running two articles within months of each other, one before Trump won insisting that rigging an election that way was impossible and there were endless safeguards protecting against it, and one after he won claiming there were no safeguard and electronic voting machine hacks could easily rig an election, each backed by copious expert opinions, despite no new evidence appearing between the two. More subtly, remember how before Trump the last time electronic voting security was a major mainstream issue with Defcon events etc was when Bush won in 2004, it suddenly returned to prominence with Trump's 2016 victory, and now it looks like it's becoming a non-issue again.
Downvoted! Censorship!

My personal experience is that doing println/dbg based debugging in python is most times a bad idea and does wast time.

Ironically my experience with rust is the opposite, i.e. not using println/dbg debugging is most times does wast time. (Except if you do certain thinks with unsafe code).

The difference is I guess that in rust I normally encode much more simple invariant in the type system and as such most times a bug happens I often can pin-down it's rough position by the way it appears (i.e. panics/errors not subtle timing bugs). In turn I just need to get a nice formatted printout of this one or two values. Instead of having to consider all the other ways things might have cone wrong in python which can't happen in rust (through python3's type annotation + linting can help).
I would love to see something like this in the 20HP range with a front end loader. I love our 26HP Kubota, but would jump on electric in a heartbeat to get away from diesel machines.

Net neutrality isn't about censoring ISPs, though.

People that don't know that might be confident they don't need to keep distance or wear a mask anymore.
14 day average case counts in my county are 10x what they were when school went back. But, we never went back to in-person schools for 99% of kids. Anecdotal, but it's certainly very possible for rates to go up even without in-person school.
Thank god for all of the people at Youtube working on censoring misinformation. They are so much smarter than me and obviously better than me at figuring out what is true and what isn't! And isn't it great that they always act selflessly in favor of the truth and never in the narrow interest of Google? I don't know what I would do if I didn't have them there to protect me from the dangerous misinformation. I am so helpless on my own.
People are making normative arguments, not legal arguments. We are aware that this is legal, just like it used to be legal to discriminate in hiring practices against black people.

Taibbi is suggesting that if you can't trust the people not to post error and lies, how can you trust the oligarchs and officials? Especially if your access to alternative perspectives is limited. Read for yourself:

>> Cutting down the public’s ability to flip out removes one of the only real checks on the most dangerous kind of fake news, the official lie. Imagine if these mechanisms had been in place in the past. Would we disallow published claims that the Missile Gap was a fake? That the Gulf of Tonkin incident was staged? How about Watergate, a wild theory about cheating in a presidential election that was universally disbelieved by “reputable” news agencies, until it wasn’t? It’s not hard to imagine a future where authorities would ask tech platforms to quell “conspiracy theories” about everything from poisoned water systems to war crimes.
If this were common practice on HN, HN would be pretty awful. If you've said something once in a thread, those who read the thread will read it.

Bear in mind that she's a self-described "poll challenger", which is a partisan position. We can reasonably infer that she is a strong supporter of Trump and therefore is not impartial.
You needn't have bothered. You shared a highly speculative piece which seemed to not mention the Pfizer vaccine at all, which largely said the opposite of what you are saying (i.e. the Oxford vaccine reduced both symptomatic and asymptomatic infections) and had one quote talking about a "worst case scenario" in which that might not be true.

And you shared it 8 times, which is 8 times too many.
What was #1? TX?
I think your self diagnosis is on point. Where games fit into your life is hard to address within a world of background judgemental thinking and self-criticism. It might be easier to focus on cultivating more self-compassion first, then reexamine your questions above.

I'm not affiliated, but check out the HealthyGamerGG channel on Youtube. He's a Harvard psychiatrist does interviews/counseling streams on twitch that are pretty cool, and deal with a lot of millenial/zoomer gamer mental health issues.

Aside from this being a somewhat strange example to bring up, it's not true.

Pretty much, but it's not all covered by Uncle Sam.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is paying for the vaccine doses. It is up to individual's insurance plan to pay for administration of the vaccine. I'm not sure how that works for somebody who lacks insurance.

More details:

There's also the mobile phone effect. The dopamine treadmill has stopped people from going out and murdering.
I'm not telling anyone I had the vaccine when I didn't. They're free to avoid me if they want.

Many things we selfishly do endanger others. Ever driven a car?

But honestly, in my gut, I don't feel like I'm endangering people. I'm doing the thing that I think will most likely make me healthy, and that will most likely result in best outcomes for others, too.

I may have some bias here because the only 2 times I've gotten the flu as an adult are the two times I got the the flu shot, like you're supposed to do. So maybe that's just coincidence, but my operating theory now is, no more flu shots until I get the flu again. If I do, then I'll reconsider.
Prepare to be downvoted for providing evidence against the narrative..
first amendment != freedom of speech
The first amendment right only bans the government from infringing on free speech. It doesn't say anything about private corporations. There are many practices by US companies concerning free speech that would be illegal in European countries.

Many European countries recognize freedom of speech as a basic right that everyone needs to respect; Neither the government, companies nor individuals can infringe on this.
However, these freedom of speech laws often exclude certain kinds of speech and governments have some power in defining these exclusions.

This distinction is what makes censorship such a big issue in the US. When censorship is dictated by an elected government, the people have some power over it. When censorship is dictated by a private company the size of Google, people have very little power over it.

The US constitution seems to be mainly about limiting the power of government, not about protecting people and society. As a result, companies have a lot more power and you get unaccountable decisions about what should be censored and what not.

Don't get me wrong, I think censorship is necessary, but you have to admit that there is a real danger when companies are in charge of it.
OP, is this your site? How is this info gathered? How do we know it's reliable?

I'm saying a lot of organization don't see value in something similar to IRC like Slack. Obviously IM is different, but I work for an MSP that is, among other things, deploying Teams, and this has been my observation.
Rigged elections are not fine. If you have a problem with a state's election, you file a lawsuit on behalf of someone whose rights were actually violated. Oh right, lawsuits were filed in the right locations on behalf of people whose rights might have been violated, and most (all?) were dismissed due to lack of standing, lack of evidence or other deficiencies.

"They responded to rising housing prices by liberalizing their zoning code in the hopes of attracting more construction."

Yes, that is what I was referring to when I spoke of an "anti-zoning housing movement". That is a political movement that, I believe, has its roots in California.

And yes, I agree with you that it has progressed further in Minneapolis than it has in, for instance, the Bay Area.
Everyone has the inalienable right to decline the vaccine for any reason, including:

- They think it will be bad for their health or public health

- They think it is some UN microchip plot

- They have a moral objection to how it was developed

- They think it is the actual “mark of the beast” from the Bible

The people who decline will be in the minority (at least visibly), and they will be bullied relentlessly by the visible majority, so to protect our rights I have to stand with them.
I'm pretty sure the highest paid technologists earn orders of magnitude more than this.

I'm super impressed that you've kept all the infrastructure in-house; I'll definitely be trying this out as my default search for the next few weeks.

One thing I noticed was that searches often return pages in foreign languages, e.g. searching 'Wikipedia' pulls up de.wikipedia.org and es.wikipedia.org as search results in addition to www.wikipedia.org. I'm sure you're looking more into how to best handle page languages, but I figured I'd mention it for the sake of user feedback :)
I guess that influences the perception of "fewer serial killers" at the same time beyond the drop of detection. The way that "big name" serial killers like Zodiac or the Golden State Killer became widely known is by actively taunting the police/public, which nowadays is probably far too risky to do. So we not only have serial killers that know how to hide better, but also ones that know not to seek out media attention.
If this is accurate, I wonder what the tax implications are for the IRS et al.
How were the individual characters encoded?
Politicians, having long ago squandered their own credibility, are now working their way through someone else's. But it's not an easy partnership. Politicians, especially during an emergency, need to produce fast, clear, consistent answers; science, as I'm sure you know, is about the gradual and painstaking accumulation of knowledge, and about nuance and qualification and uncertainty and interpretation. Scientists love to be proved wrong; politicians can't stand it.
I might have read it if your replied once and got downvote. Then it looks like you are saying an unpopular truth, which I am inclined to investigate. Otoh, copy pasting a bunch of times makes you seem like an internet crazy person.
