The original take wasn't about conflating satisfaction/happiness with progressing through hard, tedious work. It's, more to the point, equating both concepts. As in: You can only attain happiness and satisfaction if you improve/progress.

It's perfectly possible to practice guitar and attain some level of proficiency, while detesting the concept of playing the guitar. As in, looking at the instrument, how to play it and how to get better at it from a strictly utilitarian point of view. e.g. I learn to play the guitar because I need to become good at it because I want to get a well paid job in the music industry as a musician.

Inevitably, though, you will be wondering why you are pushing yourself through the pain as you drag yourself to your weekly guitar practice sessions.

Conversely, it's perfectly valid to simply pluck at the strings, gradually explore the instrument and what it can do, and become increasingly more interested, motivated, incentivized to play as time marches on e.g. because you like the sound, the feel of the strings, finding like minded spirits, enjoy the rhythm, the way it allows you to express how you feel and so on.

You becoming more proficient, in that regard, is subservient to the above. It's a function of the fact that you are intrinsically motivated to keep playing. Because you play the guitar for no other reason then that doing that resonates with who you are.
To me the argument is not only technical.

Of course these days a convention based on 80x25 terminals is anachronistic. But there is also a good reason to limit the length of lines for readability and indeed in typography the practice is to limit lines to ~50-70 characters. Personally I try to stick to that when I code because I find it more readable, and it's not the same as automatic line wrapping.

In addition, unless you have heavily nested branches or loops with big-ish indentation, you don't often get to 80 characters anyway, which opens another discussion on whether code with 10 levels of nested 'if' or extra long sequences of boolean operators begs to be refactored.
In all fairness I used to hate them but I have seen one or two customer support bots used in a way that definitely helped me get the answers I needed. Perhaps the fact that these bots are generally set up by consultants that understand search rather than some random intern that probably set up the documentation search is the deciding factor there.

Some of us did try to say that Murray is a fucking idiot and should not be listened to.
Correct - but the supply of workers for high end jobs was already "high" - companies that needed such workers could just sponsor anyone from any country and move them over to the US. Now if the allow remote work, demand for such workers will be even higher as before, as suddenly the change in mindset will increase demand from smaller companies not just fortune companies.
Interesting. He was breaking his concentration every 15 minutes. Can only imagine how much he got done the whole year...
Also when running campaigns, I’ve seen an ad suddenly get way more clicks than usual in a short timespan. Depending on how clicks are counted, just one user who gets click-happy could skew the result.

But in this case I suspect people were just curious why the ad looked like that and clicked to find out. Those may not be the people likely to convert.
I mentioned this in the thread above, but it's now an NHS recommendation for all adults to suppliment vitamin D because the majority of people in the UK are at least a little deficient in it (because of the low levels of sunlight).
> Kinda with you until "terrible query language" as, in my mind, it's the best query language.

It's a decent language for ad-hoc querying by humans; the problem is it's the only interface to the database that you get. It was never designed for machine use; in a modern RDBMS, 3/4 of the time to execute a pkey lookup is spent parsing the SQL string. Yes, prepared statements can help in some cases, but they come with their own overheads that make them difficult to use safely in a large system.

> You can also opt our of rigid schema by using JSON columns.

You can, but usually in a database-specific way, and support for that in drivers and especially at the ORM level is pretty spotty.
Let's not forget that this is a commercial company.

Even if people will know it is a bot, these people's rational capacities will in most cased be diminished under such circumstances, at best. Many will be easily (emotionally) manipulable, even more than with all the psychological trickery in product advertisement and big data exploitation these days.

Opinion: this clearly crosses the line of criminal behaviors, exploiting people who are clearly in a vulnerable positions (at least more than usual). I think the track record of tech companies rather clearly shows that their promised of taking good care of collected data (and privacy) mean little to nothing. At the end of the day, they do this for profit. That's enough for me to make this cross the line.

Also, what's really the "invention" here? Would something like this ever deserve a patent monopoly? If you take (dead) people's personal data and build a neural net (or any other "AI") to mimic/compliment that data (needed for answering questions), have you not just done what any/every neural net already does? If we're going to call that novel and innovative, then hold my beer ... or is this just again a big tech company abusing the patent system to hijack an obvious (use of) technology, excluding anyone who doesn't belong to their cozy little cross-licensing inbreed family from using what should be free to use in the first place?

Why not just find another employer which pays the rate that you want? And if you can't do that, why do you deserve that rate?
It seems that someone simply tacked openmp on without checking if it actually increases performance in this case - which is unusual, because I remember a course in college, part of which was a project aiming to teach the student that openmp is not a silver bullet and should be used only when it actually helps.

view it’s a terrible experience. Most companies don’t value the time of their users that’s why chatbots have been deployed on many websites.

First time I'm hearing about that product. Wish I had when the kickstarter was still active. I think that product is going to trigger folks taking another look at their security systems, possibly upgrading them. It seems like most systems use unauthenticated, unencrypted tokens to unlock.

I don't know what country in eastern europe finds 27kUSD / year "exceptionally good". Developers in east europe earning such amounts are junior level as wages are going up as a result of western clients / employers finding they deliver higher quality work than say india, or pakistan. Most people I know in the area, with senior level experience, are at around double that figure. If you factor in ever growing demand for software engineers in the EU then wages are going to go up even higher.
You may very well think that, but I could not possibly comment ;)

Of course the criticism of the Commission is that it does more than 'just' implement policy. I think that's fair criticism but probably inevitable given it has to co-ordinate 27 member states.
George Carlin has defined the purpose for humans to produce plastic, because the Earth needs plastic.

Here is the famous quote from him:

“We’re so self-important. Everybody’s going to save something now. “Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails.” And the greatest arrogance of all: save the planet. Save the planet, we don’t even know how to take care of ourselves yet. I’m tired of this shit. I’m tired of f-ing Earth Day. I’m tired of these self-righteous environmentalists, these white, bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is that there aren’t enough bicycle paths. People trying to make the world safe for Volvos. Besides, environmentalists don’t give a shit about the planet. Not in the abstract they don’t. You know what they’re interested in? A clean place to live. Their own habitat. They’re worried that some day in the future they might be personally inconvenienced. Narrow, unenlightened self-interest doesn’t impress me.

The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles … hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages … And we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet isn’t going anywhere. WE are!

We’re going away. Pack your shit, folks. We’re going away. And we won’t leave much of a trace, either. Maybe a little Styrofoam … The planet’ll be here and we’ll be long gone. Just another failed mutation. Just another closed-end biological mistake. An evolutionary cul-de-sac. The planet’ll shake us off like a bad case of fleas.

The planet will be here for a long, long, LONG time after we’re gone, and it will heal itself, it will cleanse itself, ’cause that’s what it does. It’s a self-correcting system. The air and the water will recover, the earth will be renewed. And if it’s true that plastic is not degradable, well, the planet will simply incorporate plastic into a new paradigm: the earth plus plastic. The earth doesn’t share our prejudice toward plastic. Plastic came out of the earth. The earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place. It wanted plastic for itself. Didn’t know how to make it. Needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old egocentric philosophical question, “Why are we here?”

Plastic… asshole.”

On paper (in law) and in national policy, women's rights advanced a lot faster than South Korea (for example, in inheritance and marriage/divorce laws.) In practice, although it is hard to know extensively because of the secrecy of the nation, it's studied that there are still some economical/cultural inequalities (although North Korea's human rights for both sexes isn't isn't really a thing to show off overall...)

In practice, I think this is not correct. You will almost always be told that your question is a bad idea and you need something different (even if you already know it is a bad fit and you've said so...). I've had to make peace with the fact that it's probably a cultural thing to feel like the questioner is in fact mentally handicapped in some profound way.

It's what you end up doing even with a relational database, because the database's built-in implementations aren't controllable enough. There's definitely space for a library that offers standard implementations of these things rather than everyone implementing it themselves from scratch, but applications need a lot more control over them than a traditional database gives them.

I don't suppose that this opens up the door to challenging other US extradition requests based on the appalling track record of human rights and standards of care in US prisons, in which rape, murder, and torture are not only common but widely culturally accepted as part of the standard punitive aspects of imprisonment?

How do european (or perhaps just the UK's) legal system(s) work in that regard?

I have a lot of hope that this is a first crack appearing in the western cultural monolith; at some point civilized countries will have to somewhat politically break from the US so long as the US continues its domestic institutional torture programs (american prisons and the tradition of extended solitary confinement) and human rights violations (capital punishment). With luck that means that MLAT will eventually start to be unenforceable.

As others have replied, all the ASRock boards where I have ever checked the specifications do support ECC and also some ASUS boards support ECC, e.g. all ASUS workstation boards.

Because ECC means Error Correcting Code, by definition, any board that claims ECC support must actually correct the errors. The ECC codes used now, with 8 extra bits for each 64 data bits, correct any 1-bit error and detect any 2-bit errors.

Very old computers (25 years old, or more) used parity instead of ECC and they just detected any 1-bit error (and any errors with an odd number of flipped bits), without being able to correct the errors.

No. The discussions in the judgement are all focused on UK law, and the ECHR as embedded in UK law, and UK membership of the ECHR remains (it's not an EU organ, but related to the Council of Europe, which while confusingly similar to EU's European Council has nothing to do with the EU).

You feel like a spoiled rich kid compared to a teacher or truck driver, but you're piss-poor compared to the people who own the corporation you work for.

Then you haven't used it for very long. Besides that, more exists than some tech giant's gambit to gather and exploit as much user information as they can. Nobody should use gmail, unless they are forced to by their job (in which case they should try to change it if they are in a position to).
It might depend on your IP and other factors. I tried to make a new one about a year ago and could not do it without phone verification.

Maybe they'll let you sign up without a phone number via Tor or something though.

It's not just Facebook that requires a phone verification now, I can't even make a Google or Yahoo Japan account without it. At least on these services you can "reuse" previously used numbers by unlinking them, at least a few times. But services like Discord lets you verify with each number once and only once as far as I know.

On the one hand I get that there's a room for abuse by spams, but on the other hand, I really wish I could freely sign up to services.
