There is a clear definition of what "Expert" means in SoJS survey. It's always under the question. In case of CSS it's "Able to style an entire front-end from scratch following a consistent methodology" and in case of JS it's "Handling advanced front-end patterns (state management, data loading, etc.)".

It has nothing to do with people labelling themselves.
Better have emos then those simulated kardashians and trumps, they are terrible and the programmer should be ashamed to test us like that ;)
To me or seems that the author is more frustrated with how his team communicates during a sprint than the tool being used.

If you need to discuss something in thorough detail in a sprint, which is on the sprint backlog, it is done during refinement.

If a discussion is about a work item/pbi/user story it is discussed not in Slack or Teams, but under the item's discussion board. Jira, base amp and azure DevOps all support this.

The symptoms of poor communication or following a proces cannot be deslt with be changing from Slack to email.

People needs to be educated it seems as where communication must go.

Emails are not for work items under a sprint. Imo. Neither is Slack. You don't discuss wotk items in a chat, you do that in it's appropiate platform where the item livets.

Slack is not email. Should not be used as such. Slack is for "hey, where is that vacation spreadsheet" and not "should this feature be with bootstrap or vanilla HTML?"

The latter is work. It is discussed where work lives. Work does not live in Slack.

Good luck
I'm reasonably convinced black triangles are mostly paredolia and hype like all UFO reports, and the rest are experimental stealth blimps[0,1] or some other kind of classified lighter than air technology. Not aliens and not anti-gravity.

Cattle mutilations are real as well, and certainly not aliens. Probably some government agency doing tests or experiments, cults and natural predation.

As far as "entire schools full of children reporting metal objects landing with beings coming out to communicate with them telepathically," children do make things up and confabulate, and children do suffer peer pressure. Mass hysteria does exist and has been documented.

No one is saying that mental illness is responsible for every UFO case, but it is likely responsible for a lot of them. It's worth remembering, however, that human perception and memory are faulty and that a perfectly rational, clinically sane person can suffer hallucinations, misinterpret phenomena based on limited information, or have false memories.

Worked until the end for me. Nice little retrospective game.
Btw, try and compare an invitation to "whack-a-mole" a Nazi with the actual violent threats that came from Parler (always rigorously unmoderated): https://scontent-frt3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/138288704_4398...

And keep in mind that I'm just picking a random example from thousands of similar posts.

Radicalized Trump supporters were using Parler to share invites to "do a bloodbath out of Democrat voters", "burn them alive on the streets and throw them in wooden chips in front of their children", and you really have the courage to come here and say that WE are the violent ones for a whack-a-mole the Nazi joke?

From the bottom of my heart, fuck you, you filthy fascist.

I've got absolutely nothing against the old Republicans, I've got absolutely nothing against conservatives, I've got many, many conservative friends as well. But I've got A LOT against the violent scum of the earth represented by people like you who try to play the role of the eternal victim after inciting Civil War and gratuitous gruesome violence against the political enemy!

Sounds like a good way for someone without coding skills to help a project, bug/message triage.

But then, a good bug-reporting system should be able to do such filtering?

I'm wondering if detecting abusive communications is/could be part of it, bit of ML seems like it would fit, even just some Bayesian filtering might do.

One could also train an NN to recognise images of the app (or simpler: OCR|grep) and require a screenshot with any submission.

But I guess automated triage mightn't be the best route. It seems very much a delicately balanced people problem.

I've been in the same situation a couple of months ago used the Hiscox online quote tool. You can go through all steps and they let you download all fineprint documents on the second last page.

The base coverage document is for all companies you can imagine. There's lines about recycling toxic waste, which employees of your company fire brigade are covered, requirements for boat licenses when renting, subsidaries. Still good to have a read through. As with all insurances it's page upon pages what isn't covered.

Then Hiscox has multiple modules on top. Cyber insurance of two levels (if your data is taken ransom or a virus causes major destruction). Net IT which sounds like it covers computer and server outages but then the fineprint says anything outside your company (e.g. DNS down, hosting company down) isn't covered.

It's possible the second broker clicked every option in the tool and has a higher commission. By default US&Canada legal costs are excluded, maybe the second broker added a module specifically to covert those, too.

Key taks away for me was that many mistakes are covered. Once you promise something to a customer/client, be it a feature, deadline or SLA and you can't keep that promise then that's not covered.

I don't think so. We have Debian based ultra-stable distributions, namely Debian Stable and Ubuntu LTS.

I'm not sure that RH/IBM is in the position of "nah, they can either pay or go home, we don't care".

This stance will not only start a slow-shift towards Debian and Canonical (Containers are portable, right?) but, will open some gap for Oracle Linux. I bet RH wouldn't like that.
New Year's Resolutions: 4 Top New Year's Resolution Ideas
Allright, good point. I'll concede the argument - there's fairly decent anonymity for those who use a combination of tools and know how to operate them. It's still not 100% perfect, but good enough.

Some examples where it could go wrong: what if the VPS was a honeypot? What if the VPN logged everything? What if Tor or other piece of software they are using has a 0-day? The more complexity, the more chance for a bug or mistake... and so on...
Regular supply and demand doesn't really seem to apply to real estate because renters are not voluntary participants in the market: The alternative to consuming the available housing is homelessness. Supply and demand obviously are efficient to determine property values, but optimal property values isn't the goal of rent control regimes.

This report from Brookings is illustrative: It shows that property values (and rents) in Cambridge have sharply risen after rent control has been cancelled. The article concludes:

"In short, the policy imposed $2.0 billion in costs to local property owners, but only $300 million of that cost was transferred to renters in rent-controlled apartments." [0]

That is undoubtly true, but seems to miss the point - the goal of rent control is not to help in optimal pricing of real estate. Rent control only seems to not work when high real estate prices are the goal of the researcher, instead of low rents.

[0] https://www.brookings.edu/research/what-does-economic-eviden...

EDIT: I think one core problem in this discussion is the assumed relation between real estate values and rent level. In hot markets these are only loosely correlated, though: Investors can often savely assume that appreciation alone will result in profits. An example for Berlin, Germany: from 2010 to 2020 real estate values rose about 400% but rent "only" rose 66%. This means investors can safely assume profitable investments even if rents are not part of the equation, by real estate appreciation alone. An unregulated real estate market therefore will certainly result in rising property prices, but this doesn't mean more living space will be available.
Whatever it is it surely relies on maths.

Some theories argue that it is just a mathematical equation in which the maths <-> physics link is somehow defined within it.
then.. they should just make a new "vendored" repo for that kind of software ?
Seems like that principle would be easy to circumvent by simply letting private companies do the tracking and punishing in return for favorable treatment by the government.
The problem is that land is not subject to the same laws of supply and demand as other goods and services. It's very hard to make new land (unless you're Dutch), and very hard to move residential capacity around in response to fluctuating demand. The alternative isn't necessarily rent control. The smart people in this forum could probably come up with some market-oriented system which would dramatically improve the flexibility and efficiency of residential real estate supply.

> further tie a specific malicious binary to a particular commit

Git uses SHA1 for hashes, right? Aren't there demonstrations that SHA1 hashing is cracked, so you could craft a replacement commit that hashed to the same value, in theory.
Same here. This was on the second load. On the first load, I just saw a blue screen. Seeing lots of 503 errors in the console.
There's an analogy here with the fact that it is so routine that we now don't remark on SpaceX recovering their first stage on every launch.

We will know that Rust has succeeded when people no longer feel the need to remark on it in the title.

> What if the data shows having a few drinks increases the likelihood of healthcare costs? Otherwise, people who don’t have a few drinks are subsidizing people who do have a few drinks.

Many countries levy special taxes on alcohol. If at least a portion of that money is used towards healthcare, the subsidy by teetotallers either grows smaller or disappears entirely.

But, of course, that requires correct use of said tax money.
I'm always suspicious when I click "Sign in with X" and it prompts me to enter details. Normally I would already by logged in. But not always, for instance I mostly use Firefox on my phone, and those sessions aren't shared with webviews. So one can never know.

There's really nothing stopping anyone from making an entirely fake "Sign in with X" popup and people would believe it (me included), I think teaching people to give away their Google, FB, GH etc credentials on random pages is scary.

Comparing Wikipedia versions is not terribly useful, since formal written Chinese tends towards uniformity: previously 文言, now 普通话.

Spoken Chinese does not, and an accurate transcription of colloquial Cantonese is quite different from colloquial Mandarin: 係唔係佢哋嘅 vs 是不是他們的, and that's despite the grammar of the two sentences being identical (which is not normally the case either).
The 75-move rule does work automatically though, so the game is still finite.

(Though, with unsalted md5 or sha1, it's possible to find a shorter collision instead. But afaik it requires executing specific techniques instead of the regular algorithms, and obviously the Steam server isn't doing that, so it must be done locally with a stolen hash.)

KDE, and it's related apps, is an interesting one. For a long time you could get the version info from a menu item (Help>About or something) in any of the K apps. But then they changed it to give no version info ... then the bug report tool asks up front what version you're using ...

One of the great things with Steam when I started running it on Linux was it's debugging info that gathered details of your system so you didn't have to.
Interesting that they consider Ayn Rand alarming enough to name her right next to David Irving, a notorious Holocaust denier, or, more precisely, diminisher.

Edit: I, too, have one book by David Irving in my bookcase - among 900 others. I read it, I found his way of twisting of the sources disturbing, but I am not going to burn it in the name of Love and Peace. But unfortunately I can see this being used against me in a court of Twitter.

It's difficult if you're seen as an authority figure, if you're one writing the code. Ignoring assholes could well simply inflame them further when they see other people receiving official replies, when their 42 posts have garnered nothing.

I certainly brush off the seething wastrels when they come my way, but I'm merely another member of the community and I have the luxury of ignoring them, flagging them, and letting someone else decide whether they should be kicked out or not. I really can imagine that if you cannot ignore these people (or have to add five people to your /ignore, every single day) it will wear most people down to a nub after a few years.
I'm assuming that a downvote with a negative sentiment comment is the most severe signal you can send.
True, it might not be a monopoly, or even a duopoly, but I'm not sure it's much better. Do you think if a politician is banned from Facebook, Twitter, and Google they have even a small chance of being elected?

It wouldn't even take all 3. If Google decided to heavily promote pro-Trump articles in their SEO, and heavily downplay pro-Biden articles leading up to the election, do you think it would have gone the way it did? And if not, do you think that's OK?

Of course they can do what they like, it's their platform. And if Biden supporters didn't like it they could boycott and tell everyone to use Bing or DDG. But I'm not sure that's a realistic solution.

I'm not making any strong claims here, I certainly don't know the right answer or if this is as much of a problem as it seems to me. I'm just worried that a handful of companies control a significant amount of the discourse in not just their own countries, but internationally. It might not be a current issue, but I could see it being a future one.

Or I could be completely wrong, I'm just musing.
You have my fork!
So you've picked a couple of locations and dates at random, and gee, there is more noise than signal in your tiny sample.

Now try doing that systematically. Take the monthly averages over 20 years from a few thousand sites. Don't forget to correct for the urban heat-island effect, which creates a false impression of warming when a city grows out around an airport.

Do that, present your results, and it might be worth taking you seriously.
I've thought about the idea of re-implementing the AWS console, especially for the ends of a 'focused'/gated experience in the data science field; my reasoning was every service has an API and there is a JavaScript SDK, why not just reimplement the console to my tastes/goals? I'm curious what your architecture/design looks like and whether you ran into any sharp edges: ie is Web UI for a cloud platform really as simple as writing JS to call rest APIs?

Also, I'm wondering if the community has any other open source alternatives I could toy around with and peek under the hood.

The reason for this is that the newly constructed housing tends to be higher priced, and when old housing gets freed, rents tend to get raised on the new tenants.

Yeh reading app reviews is toxic. We build a free open source/creative commons app (https://www.secfirst.org) to help people learn about digital and physical security. It's one of the biggest guides ever written about the topic, something like about 160k words in 40 different topics translated into 7 main languages. All done with volunteers.

We regularly get people giving us one star reviews and telling us the app is shit because it's not translated into Japanese, Korean, Dutch or Norwegian etc. I mean we'd love to translate it into all these languages but Norway isn't exactly the world's most dangerous country so not our main priority. We try to reach out to every user who contacts us no matter what and sometimes we send people the details about how easily to help is translate it if they can - but the usual answer is abrupt, unhelpful and dismissive.
Had to reload it a couple times to get it to work - seems like it might be getting hugged to death, and for good reason!

> We faced rejections in submitting the app, because they decided to change their policy on the app having a link in the "About WireGuard" tool window to www.wireguard.com/donations/ (which they previously had allowed explicitly; now they want 30% or something)

Last year Google started to ban donation links in FOSS apps, WireGuard was one of the first victims [0], completely removed from the store. I didn't know that Apple also started doing the same and hit WireGuard again. Extending the definition of an "in-app payment" to a link to the project homepage in the "About" window that doesn't buy any good or service related to the app is an overzealous restriction. Especially so when that button is clicked by, perhaps, only 10% of the users. This is just evil.

This has been going on for over a thousand years. Read Ptolemy's book from the 2nd century to describe the solar system. It used hundreds of "epicycles" to make everything line up. Then Newton comes up with three tiny equations that describe the solar system's motion even better in the 18th century.

As they say, "anyone can design a complicated system", but if you're really smart, you can make a simple system. It's no different in programming.
