Slack expects you to look at slack during your work hours - and robs you from the focus needed for deep work.

Or, you do deep work, and lose on the decisions, chatter made in real time.

Slack turns the working environment to an equivalent of n open office where everyone chatters all of the time.

Good luck doing anything else.
I'm frustrating every time when I open a Map from Google Search. It opens weirdly feature-reduced version map and there's no link to open full Google Maps.
Can the US spend money to speed this along? With a vaccine or two in hand, I don't see why we wouldn't do it if it is possible. We'd easily make back $50 billion or whatever, it's not even an economic question.
(OP) Yikes! I will check that out. Thank you for pointing that out. As of now, the four text buttons should say "Scramble", "Solve", "Record" and "Rewind". I will check with Firefox to see if I get blank buttons with no visible text. The radio buttons have no labels or text associated with them currently. I will add little pictures next to them of the sub-puzzles they select.
I’m an immigrant, and I’ll never stand for any kind of reparations for descendants of former slaves. Invariably this will come out of tax dollars to which I’m contributing by way of income tax. Why should I be charged for wrongs - however horrible - in which neither myself nor my ancestors were involved? When there was still slavery in America, my people were enslaving members of their own ethnic group back in the old country. Forgive me for not wanting any part of this current dispute.

And to those who will certainly tell me that I’ve benefitted from the modern spoils of slavery: I beg to differ. My first decade in the US was all about climbing out of the pit of “you’re not white enough for us because you didn’t go to a top school”. That shit still haunts me to this day.
+1. Same issue.
I'm sure we can find stories on both sides of this argument.

I lived in South East Asia for a while and the cell phone footage of sexual interactions between middle school students is what I reported. These are girls wearing middle school uniforms embroidered with the school's name on the shirt [1] which indicates that the woman is under 18.

Nobody would bother to replicate the uniform for 2 minutes of shaky cell phone footage. It was underage material. Plain and simple.

My own ex-girlfriend's photographs were uploaded to XHamster by her ex-boyfriend along with a copy of her passport. She's 17 in the images. Took us over a year to get them taken down.

Ah, point taken, but that's within the bounds of what many people expect; propagating the fact that the overflow is "impossible" to rearrange earlier control flow is more surprising and more recent.
Don't use VLAs for anything that actually requires an allocation. However, VLAs are quite useful when you have a buffer and want to access it like an array.
What a great post. Discussing Leela and Stockfish (two top chess engines with different design/AI(?) philosophies...one is freely available) and connecting those differences in the development of new visually arresting dynamically stable structures in the Game of Life. With said visuals. Historically rooted, topically relevant, visually appealing. Old-school great post....what the old Internet was all about.

They are not unlike the contortions engaged in to disjoint the "well-regulated militia" from the "right of the people to keep and bear arms," when the defense of the Second Amendment in the Federalist Papers was heavily couched in the idea that it was intended as an alternative to a standing army.
The fact that people are flagrantly supporting her as a "victim" is truly troubling, it's clear she is both the aggressor and abuser. In what world is a PHD / professor publicly shaming and lamenting graduate students over seeming ideological differences not a fucked up situation? The replies to this tweet are golden, most "asking to be added to the list". Our boy @paulg even got in on the action.
I don't understand why we are subjecting a practice that is objectionable on the grounds of violating property rights to "studies". It frankly doesn't matter if the correlation is 1. Taking people's personal property when they have not even circumstantial suspicion of having done anything wrong other than having the property and putting the legal burden of proof on them to reclaim their ownership is frankly just as abusive as a medieval lord plucking whatever he likes, and not even half as honest.

Yes.

Fellow gout person here. I was finally prescribed allopurinol but I am not sure I want to take it long term due to the chance that it could cause liver and kidney damage but I need to do more research.

Fortunately gout can be controlled fairly well with diet but in the midst of a flare up, it is excruciating.
Mitochondrial Interactome: A Focus on Antiviral Signaling Pathways
No. It's hard to keep a vast conspiracy secret, but I certainly never claimed that there was a vast conspiracy.

There was nothing secret about weakening the election security. It was done publicly, by elected officials, using the virus as an excuse. That happened months before the election.

Once that happens, people don't worry about getting in trouble. Individuals can act alone. There may be small conspiracies, like the 4 people who fed ballots into the machine after the observers left. Keeping a secret with just 4 people isn't so hard, aside from the video surveillance they didn't notice.

I will agree that it is a scary time for the country. When an improperly elected person seizes power, we should be scared. When a person taking bribes from foreign countries is supposed to be the negotiator against those countries, we should be scared. When a tired old man with dementia is all we have to respond to fast-changing world events, we should be scared.

You missed the point if you thought Trump was about a personality cult. The personality was fun, but the policy was what we wanted. He built over 500 miles of badly-needed wall, raised tariffs on China, didn't attack a new country, appointed decent judges, appointed a wonderful person for the Department of Education, put an end to racist anti-American hate sessions at federal employers, improved the H1B visa situation, ditched the Paris Accord, cut our taxes, got that pipeline approved, stopped China from using NAFTA via Mexico, got several peace treaties signed, and cut lots of economy-choking regulations. Just before that virus hit, he got us to the lowest unemployment numbers in recorded history (half a century) for black people and he got income inequality to go down a bit for the first time in ages. That's not personality. That's results.
I somewhat grew up around it and escaped it before I had the chance to understand it. Now that I’m older and effectively live in an echo chamber it’s so foreign
We're running several not-Orion Solarwinds products. I've been all over the environment with the Fireeye IOCs, scanned for given filenames and services and double checked none of the EDR services were disabled.
Of course you cannot guarantee something's clean, but I'd very skeptical of noise being made about this particular installation.
Complexity is starting to go that way with bikes too, and I suspect euro 4 & euro 5. Plenty of drive-by-wire bikes now, with IMUs and other tricky bits, and some of the few really simple ones remaining (new) wont' make the new emissions standards (e.g. moto-guzzi is getting more complex).

But you are right, if you stay away from the performance engines there is a lot you can do, and it's easy to get at.
>So is the UK, last time I checked they're not doing so hot either. You can add this kind of argumentation to the list of ailments. Geographic or some other sort of fatalism as an excuse for what is social failure.

What exactly is social failure?
Yikes. That's a remarked part -- the style of printing on the top is wrong, and the date code is nonsense. (0448 would indicate it was manufactured in late 2004, but Rockwell Semiconductor was spun off as Conexant in 1999, and they stopped manufacturing this part many years before that.)
But....but .....literally no one is forcing you to install and use these other stores. NOTHING about your experience changes at all. Again, I can install the Amazon store in my phone, but.....I just don't. Why is this such a revolutionary idea?
I finally have words to describe why I prefer behavior testing over strict definitions of unit tests.

The use case of mocks/stubs/etc for me is “this thing is expensive to execute or external and can’t be validated directly”. In the former case, validating the inputs to the expensive interface is buttressed by thorough and verifiable testing of the thing it calls into. In the latter case, you provide an interface that behaves according to your understanding of the external service without requiring its availability.

In pure unit testing, the “external” boundary is hungry and consumes as much interaction between code components as possible. In behavior testing, you extend end user validation as far as is practical or possible.

The benefit of that is you can verifiably satisfy user needs up to the limits of your testing/testing environment, in user language. Wherever you need to silo who the “user” is (eg service/api boundaries), you can do so. But your tests are designed to validate user assumptions first, and fussy technical details after.
> to visit their homeland

This might trigger some people. If you used a term like "ancestral region(s)" or something, it might've been less triggering.

Firstly, the word "homeland" is not one typically associated with one's country of ancestry. I've rarely ever heard someone use that term. On the contrary, I have heard people say "my ancestors came from X country", or like "my great-grandparents came from Italy". The term "homeland" is usually used for the region where a person's current home is. And this not to mention that even a first-generation immigrant who has lived in X country for a long time, could consider X country to be his true homeland.

Secondly, there's an implicit assumption here that "Africa" is the "homeland" of African Americans. I don't need to explain why that's troubling.

Thirdly, many of my "African American" friends are of thoroughly mixed ancestry. One such friend did a 23andMe test, and it turned out he had 54% European ancestry (even though physically "he looks black"), 30-something% African ancestry, and a smattering of other ancestry groups (including Native American) for the rest. It would be inaccurate and inappropriate to consider him as someone "of African ancestry" (even though he looks somewhat so). The phenotypes a person's genome expressed do not necessarily correspond to a person's actual genetic ancestry.

I could go into more reasons as to why it's not a great term to use, but I think these three reasons make a good case.

> get a lump sum, if they start a business or invest in land

While the underlying motivation behind your idea is pretty decent (and a fairly lofty goal I might add); I, for one, would rather prefer direct foreign aid (not loans, but literal foreign aid grants with no expectation of return). There's too much of a risk of corruption with your idea, and bad incentives are baked right into it. Just increase the current foreign aid to developing countries across the board. Do something like the Marshall Plan, where in exchange for free-market economic policies, we directly invest in education, infrastructure, and other things in developing countries.

On a secondary note, domestically, I would rather focus on just getting some kind of actual, concrete, meaningful (maybe financial) reparations bill passed through Congress. That alone seems like a huge and almost insurmountable political challenge, and I want to see that tackled somehow. We want to improve the quality of life and access to opportunity for the poorest economic classes in the US, so they can pursue their ambitions and dreams from a similar starting point as more well-off Americans. Achieving this alone would be a huuuge deal in and of itself.
Although the GPs suggestion would stand a chance of creating a generic copier for disks protected using this method, rather than having to individually crack each title.
An internal auditor is usually held to some standard of confidentiality. Audit results becoming public should not happen at the decision of just the auditor (except of course if there were a legal obligation to report). In that respect she proved untrustworthy for the company by her ultimatum. She basically proved that she would be willing to make Google look bad in the future. She also went public, making Google look bad in the present. Basically the same reason for letting her go as with Damore.
What about SCIM, "System for Cross-domain Identity Management", instead of SAML, if creating software for enterprises?

That's beautiful. Thanks for sharing. It reminds of a similar experience I had.

A few years back one of the systems I ended up inheriting stopped working on January 1st. As most people, I had taken the day off, but my manager called me to fix the issue in prod.

After much researching, I found out the assembly causing the issue. Similarly, the original dev had left and the source code was lost. So I used ildasm and found out the year was hardcoded. I patched the binary and went home.

Rest in Peace, Eric.
Unless you're a heavy sleeper or are really used to the ride, sleeping on a night train, even in the best of cabins, is for the initiated.

Most night trains make countless annoying stops. Even just one stop would ruin my sleep. Beds are awful. Regular (ie not high speed) train tracks are awfully noisy. Nothing enjoyable about it, just get into a "container" cabin, wake up in a new town with a beat up body from continuous 12hr motion and noise that is 1000x worse than most modern jetliners (A380, 787, A350...)

During my long 13 yr stride as a consultant in Europe I've tried every possible combination of hotel, flight and trains (and car rental, ships...). The night train is a tourist trap. But also probably good fun for the adventurous at heart. The night train cabin may be a tourist attraction even, an experience you should live once in your life... If you are into that kind of thing. Because to me it is really not worth the trouble. Get a flight or a high speed train and a decent hotel or airbnb. Wake up to a great breakfast cooked in a real kitchen with fresh produce and hit the streets all set and good to go.
Is it okay to imagine? To think whatever you feel like to think at the moment? Rhethorical. The future that gp describes simply helps with it. Not questioning real harm to somebody ofc (as in physical/personal harm).

People never had a right to their image, because it is neither unique, nor is really theirs with all these enhancements that we call “image”. Nobody can dictate you what to think. One little step from here and we’ll quite seriously discuss thought crimes.
I sometimes wonder how many of us are running infrastructure across multiple nodes in support of an application that can practically be ran on a single instance.

For us, having production go down for 2~5 minutes while we spin up a prior VM snapshot is totally acceptable for our customers. I have a hard time believing this RTO does not exceed what would be meaningfully required for most businesses (i.e. actual $$$ impact vs someone's paranoid fantasies).

I totally concur on your 10x point. If you find your engineering staff arguing over containerization technologies or multi-cloud event-driven virtual actor architectures, you are probably wasting a lot of time. I would state that simply making the arbitrary decision to use containers is a massive mistake. All that overhead and complexity for what? You better have a damn good reason. Maintaining a typical Dev/QA/Staging/Prod stack is not sufficient justification. Unless you seriously fucked something up, your software should be able to be cloned+built+deployed+started in a few lines of powershell, et. al. What is stopping you from running this script on 4 servers or writing a little tool to do it from a web interface every time you click a button? Oh right, can't write your own CI/CD tools when there are so many on the market. So it goes. Down the rabbit hole and to the right.

For those who can handle a 2-5 minute RTO, and have business application performance requirements that can be addressed by a single 32+ core server, there is no reason you should be screwing around with anything beyond your basic language+framework tooling, SQLite, source control, and project management tools. This is an engineering paradise if your constraints allow for it. I would never squander this opportunity with shiny bullshit.
Because hacking isn’t considered an act of war. If they turned off our infrastructure that is an act of war because it would have caused material harm.

Now imagine the consequences to people's travel decisions when you can do this for any two locations within, say, 500 miles of each other, because you can sleep in your self-driving car while it takes you there. Not just locations linked by train.

Wilderness areas, second homes, minor tourist destinations of all kinds. It has the potential to totally change the economies and usage patterns of those areas.

I live somewhere that's just far enough from the major east coast population centers to keep weekend traffic down. But when sleeping in a self driving car is a reality? We're talking 100 million people who can spend a weekend here easily. It's going to change everything.
"Ars, to its credit, responded by pointing out that it is not good practice to boycott an entire site over political disagreement w/one person oh wait nm jk."

Probably because that would have been a terrible idea. People boycott an entire site over a political disagreement with one person all the time. You can disagree with that as a tactic, but it's an obvious tactic for putting economic pressure on a company.

"Listen people, he doesn't even work here" is a much better answer.

It wasn't that long ago that you could, if you knew where to look, easily find lots of PC parts for absolutely free... and I recommended that as the go-to for general computing experimentation, as it was a well-documented platform with plenty of software available, but now it seems "retrocomputing" is popular again and people will pay a surprisingly large amount for these older systems.

As a counterdote, I both played video games and played music (band, church groups, self-studying) for significant amounts of time in my youth. I still play music today and my only regret is not spending more time on it earlier, whereas I regret spending so much time on video games. The collaboration and shareability of music is unparalleled; I can connect with people and actually create something that is an expression of myself and my collaborators, and even people who've never picked up an instrument can appreciate pleasant-sounding music. With video games, you really need to know the mechanics of a specific game to appreciate someone else's performance, and very rarely do the results of a video game manifest itself in the real world apart from the consequential skills you may pick up.

The problem of quitting music once it's no longer compulsory is endemic and I think more rooted with pedagogy than music itself as a medium. I staved it off because I was largely self-taught for theory and the instruments I currently play (piano, guitar), whereas people who were forced into lessons or only did it to fill an elective slot in school quit once they were able to. I've gone months-long stints without dedicated practice, but to me it's closer to an unforgettable skill than riding a bike is (because I don't know how to ride a bike).
Itanium was not one attempt, it was several generations of trying to make the concept work. And it didn't.

> And for 20 years since it has been sufficient to invoke the name to scare away any attempt of actually trying something new, even when they don't make the same mistakes, or even work anything like Itanium.

People have been invoking Itanium for the last 20 years because that's what you do with expensive, painful lessons. Just like "branch delay slots are bad" (MIPS et al) or "no sub-word-size-access is bad" (Alpha) or "there's such a thing as too-relaxed memory ordering" (Alpha) or "putting too much magic in the ISA is bad" (iAPX 432), some lessons don't need to be repeatedly revisited and repeated.

I get that the Mill team wants to prove everyone wrong, but the only way to show that is working hardware and that doesn't exist (and given the time they've been working, probably won't ever).

> compatibility with standard C code is a huge crutch; GPUs couldn't exist in that environment for example

Except, guess what, Cuda and OpenCL look exactly like C in many ways. The major features they don't support (well) are dynamic memory allocations and branchy code - good luck trying to make an architecture work that can't efficiently handle malloc. People have tried a lot of different language+hardware architectures over the years, and all of them have been outperformed by OoO machines.

> compatibility with the dominant paradigm, running stock x86 code

If either Transmeta or Nvidia could have made a standout VLIW architecture, they would have had plenty of business. Defense and HPC customers have absolutely no problem with esoteric architectures so long as the performance is good enough. You could build the craziest architecture, and if you can show it'll be a winner, the DoE will buy it.
sorry, can you explain what the signing keys and keypair would allow someone to do?
"Police Say Civil Asset Forfeiture Reduces Crime. New Study Shows They’re Wrong"

Well if we count the fact that asset seizure without a trial is a crime itself (no due process and a violation of the 4th ammendment), then it should be obvious that it would increase crime directly in its actions and and indirectly by delegitimizing government authority.
