Which the sex workers would refer to as their job. If we really want to talk about equivalency, one side wants to air their opinion about some matter, and on the other side are a bunch of people who just want to be able to work and get paid today.

People constantly view pornography solely from a consumption perspective. Yes, not being able to get porn on Patreon is a trivial problem for consumers. Not being able to produce porn is a serious problem for the creators.

Frankly, politics is probably a lot more poisonous to Patreon than porn is. Porn is usually quiet, they don't jam it in people's faces. Politics is all about saying controversial things for air time, which is going to cause them never ending headaches.
IE11 will soon be a security hazard and not worth the effort to code for.
I guess they see it as a small price to choke out the competition through acquisitions
Boxed wines solve this problem. The wine is filled in a bladder that simply collapses with air pressure as the wine is poured from the bottom tap. So no air mixes with the remaining wine and there is no deterioration in quality.
There's no single metric, but in particular I believe that inherent inefficiency with WordPress design will incur more cost to scale, as an example.

Not to mention things little security issues.

I don't have an agenda against WordPress and very often when people ask me what they should use for simple projects I say "just use WordPress."

My rule of thumb is that will probably be alright for a simple, small project, but will have to grow up to something else to scale reasonably.

Then I suggest you learn something about what liquidity, bid-ask spreads, arbitrage, and price discovery are, and how financial systems work in general.
It doesn’t work that way because of Brownian motion. Plenty of oxygen will unfortunately contact the wine if only a little argon is there.
In order to keep woodworking finishes from drying in the can, many woodworkers displace air in the can by dumping marbles in. You could probably do the same thing with a wine bottle:

1. Drink as much as you want.

2. Pour small clean marbles into the bottle until the level of the wine is near the top again.

3. Put cork back in.
I find that the people that over stress code style (developer version of the grammar Nazi) end up wasting their social capital and overall energy.

They lose capital going back and forth in these squabbles and lose their ability to look for much bigger danger signs such as over abstractions, under abstractions, and convoluted code.
I hate to say that this is nonsense and a touch of wine snobbery, and I'm a "wine drinker". As daily drivers and post work glugs there are plenty of decent bagged wines (or rather boxes). I've had plenty from pals who've brought these things back from French supermarkets to Scotland, which are super cheap and decent quality for the money.

It all depends on the wine you want to drink in the moment. As my brother once pointed out when our mother passed away, there's drinking whisky and funeral whisky.
I did and you know what, I'd be an idiot if I believed anyone in the article said what they said because Bloomberg News is bullshitters.

If he's jacked, then yes of course he doesn't need to lose weight. That is a tiny proportion of the population though.
According to the author, FP is another tool. No, Functional Programming is NOT a tool but a paradigm which is a formal system of computation based only on function called lambda calculus.
As an engineer-turned-manager, I spend a lot of time asking engineers how we can simplify their ambitious plans. Often it’s as simple as asking “What would we give up by using a monolith here instead of microservices?”

Forcing people to justify, out loud, why they want to use a specific technology or trendy design pattern is usually sufficient to scuttle complex plans.

Frankly, many engineers want to use the latest trends like microservices or NoSQL because they believe that’s what’s best for their resume, even if it’s not necessarily best for the company. It doesn’t help that some companies screen out resumes that don’t have the right signals (Microservices, ReactJS, NoSQL, ...). There’s a certain amount of FOMO that makes early-career engineers feel like they won’t be able to move up unless they can find a way to use the most advanced and complex architectures, even if their problems don’t warrant those solutions.
No it doesnt. I lost weight by not eating. It worked just fine.
drscheme was a tool made by a groupe of lisp/schemers from academia I believe (felleisen et al.) but with time they started to hold different views on what a good language/good scheme should be, they made racket which is more functional by default (gross simplication). DrScheme thus became DrRacket. But it's vastly the same idea.
Add feature to WP should be easier than Drupal. In WP, you only write pure PHP. (Lack of APIs for common elements) But in Drupal, mostly you have to interact with Drupal APIs.

Exactly, and from a features standpoint Postgres can do everything Dynamo can do and so much more. I think a lot of software devs don't really know SQL or how RDBMS work so they don't know what they are giving up.

The actually violent leftie anarchists knew all this stuff ahead of time and didn't leave digital trails. Their whole gig was opposition to the police, which means they knew what they were facing and how the system worked.

What's notable about the capitol mob is the fact that, while yeah, they knew they were attacking congress technically, they figured that doing it in service to a sitting president made it legal somehow.

Needless to say, one of those motivations is a lot scarier than the other.

How the zebra’s stripes ward off insects
I think there are a few parts that are more problematic:

* Most layman diet advice is awful. There is scientifically backed advice. I think most people could understand it. It seems to not be common knowledge.

* A lot of people "backseat drive" other people's diets. Since most people carry awful advice, this is extremely unhelpful in practice.

* Some people have a crab bucket mentality towards others losing weight, and almost go out of their way to sabotage.
Looks good but I hope this part is optional:

It would seem you're correct, faulty memory I suppose?
He's jacked, but the original comment was 'losing weight to a target healthy weight is always [ALWAYS] good'. It sounds like you agree that's a false statement?
I like them when they simplify repetitive things, require minimal configuration and are easy to get out of your way when you and the database need to have a grown up conversation.

I predict they'll move to Jamstack soon. I've really been impressed by the things I've seen moved to Next.js in the last couple of years.
"This has caused hundreds of missed diagnosis for serious issues because it's just "lose some weight"."

Are you missing this? Not everything is related to weight.

Again this is what I mean about being dismissive about other health issues when someone is obese.
You know that phrase "Reality is complicated"? Smart people tend to over estimate their understanding of complicated subjects, and it irritates them when it appears you are making something more complicated than it "should be." Even though the error is their over estimation, not the complexity of the solution.

If you combine that with their ego being unable to accept that something is more complicated than they assume, then you get the situation where they propose a solution that is simple, easy to implement, and wrong.

Add to that a measure of "hurt" from feeling like the messenger is getting the credit that you are due. And you get someone who directs their anger at the messenger not the message. Yes, it's broken, yes it's dysfunctional, but it's just business. If you are in that spot you can assuage your hurt feelings by forcing the simple/wrong solution through to "prove" to yourself that you have more power.

In all fairness I don't blame the engineer. They fully believed that their simple solution was completely adequate. I do however blame the management that put up with this. They are the ones who should have been looking out for the company/technology and not whose feelings would be hurt by doing the right thing. Several years later James apologized to me for not doing the right thing, and I appreciated that, but I also recognize that while my system was much more secure and would have not had the vulnerabilities that were later found, it was more complicated and thus harder to validate, and it could have just as easily been broken in a different way.
Wouldn't there already be legal precedents and established tax law along these lines? I mean, it's hardly a new thing for companies to employ people in various positions living in other states, and freelancers get work from different states all the time.
The title of this BBC article is a little broad in my opinion, the laptops in question were given out by schools in England. I'm not sure if it is common in England for "schools" and "the government" to be referred to in the same context, but to my knowledge the average school's IT department will differ drastically from a larger governmental organization's.
Well, wines usually spend at least a year in the bottle before they're sold, so it would have required some precognition for them to adapt.
I'm shocked a company with such practices exists in the USA in 2021. I wish workers rights are brought up more often during presidential and mid term elections.
Largely true. It's not that the US police are less abusive per officer or per interaction, it's more than the US does way too much policing.

That’s why you need languages with good defaults for formatting and linting (e.g. Go, rust)

I admit I still don’t understand what a PM really does.
No. As a person who was extremely obese, I realize that this attitude was exactly what was needed to get me to lose weight. I am now at a reasonably healthy weight and realize that every excuse I ever made as an obese person was incredibly stupid and lazy.
But it's not "in reality". It's "with the mindsets and experience and architecture and tooling that are prevalent in the industry"...that's what takes more.

Any given project might not require large numbers people, the headcount driver might the process.

Where you have control, would recommend rethinking the model to look more like Whatsapp than to dismiss as an anomaly.

I use such a product (Private Preserve) and it works pretty well. I think it is mostly CO2 and Nitrogen, with a smidge of Argon.

I don't drink much wine so I have bottles in the fridge that have been there up to a year. When using the gas, I think the decay is more related to how often the bottle is opened and poured. So a bottle that I gas-treat after the initial opening seems to be happy to sit for quite some time. Subsequent treatments are not as effective.
> Most people would find this surprising

Really? I don't understand how people would come to the conclusion of fat + active > normal + sedentary unless they're willfully ignorant.
drupal is much better, IMO, and assuming you actually know how the framework is designed. Wordpress has the 'loop' you hook into and everything happens in it. Drupal has more of a pub/sub model with hooks which seemed much easier to build standalone plugins. At the end of the day I'd say the most important part is understanding how they are built and where you are supposed to spend your time as a dev to make your users happy.
Sorry if my comment was unclear, I have no objections to the study or article.

My comment was refering to the "Opinions" of other users and the dehumanizing comments that myself and other obese people are subjected to on a regular basis.

I was trolling a bit as I am a sarcastic person in general and deserved the swift condemnation of fellow readers. However I do believe that there is somewhat of a double standard when it comes to the idea that I have chosen to be obese and shaming me is acceptable while...fill in the blank...get a pass on their life choices.

> My hope is that people like to see their name when they "git blame"

Sadly, my impression is that a lot of people don't want to see their own names on git blame, because they fundamentally operate on "you break it, you buy it" mode. As long as their name isn't associated with a particular piece of code, it's not their fault that it's broken. (It doesn't matter that the code is fundamentally broken and has been broken since inception five years ago - not my fault!) Here, let me just add a quick wrapper layer on top of it so that my module can work around the bug, while at the same time making my module depend on the broken behavior...
previous case was:
- sharing meme that making a joke about hitler with comment "heil hitler", they thought i was supporting hitler -_-

well, if admins can't even understand a joke, why would i stay there anyway.. (i have another account that i deactivate after got decision about the permanent ban)
On a healthy person, reducing calories will work fine.

For a person whose body is pumping full of cortisol, thus pumping also with raised glucose and insulin levels, gradually cutting calories can results in even higher stress response, lethargy, disrupted sleep patterns, reduce satiety triggers, changed apatite towards fat and sugar, and a bunch of other problems that all contribute to the opposite desired effect of loosing weight. A body in panic mode will do about everything except loosing weight unless it is actually medically starving.
Signal's Incognito Keyboard, privacy implications with IME
I'm new to LISP but the way Hiccup (https://github.com/weavejester/hiccup) in Clojure allows to embeds HTML in Clojure code feels really powerful.
>Java isn't that terrible of a language.

That is going to evolve in the next six years to "languages don't usually matter much except in specific domains in a few cases"
Can we ballpark how big the most critical teams would need to be? Could we really justify 21k? I’m open to believing.
Yep -- where I work, every language we use in any big way has a high-quality automated formatter, and we require all code to be formatted with these tools. It's been a dramatic improvement in code readability in general across the company. We have a few engineers who would consistently beat the formatter by a very small margin if they were formatting their code by hand, but they are the exception -- 95% of the code submitted across the company is improved by these tools.
Even IE6, that's no security problems on a well-made & trusted website. And a website doesn't support IE6 can't prevent the attacts usually (eg. XSS)

Lots of deli meat + wrap or 2 slices of bread + lots of lettuce.

A cheap, portable meal/snack that removes the need for fast food or "Keto snacks". Enough protein and fibre to fill you up.

Eating low calorie is not expensive, it's just not very exciting.

Until recently you could also get something like this at mcdonalds (grilled chicken burger or wrap).

Added sugar is not good, but fat free products are a great choice for dieters who want more variety. You get the same volume of food with a similar taste for much less calories.
A major issue with Signal and privacy as it doesn't use a custom keyboard which allows leakage of personal messages due to potential dodgy or collaborating keyboard developers.

> So called "best practices" are contextual and not broadly applicable. Blindly following them makes you an idiot

That's the truth. "Best Practices" often force you to ignore what your problem actually is and view it in some twisted way that fits the practice. Bad.

Your problem is your problem. Your data is your data. Write code that matches what you have and what you're trying to do.
That article throws out a bunch of numbers without really putting things in a proper historical context. Violent crime has fallen dramatically since the 90's and the murder rate is about as low as it was in the 60's in 2019 (according to the FBI). While a ~35% spike is alarming, one should look at what the full 2020 stats end up being.

Furthermore, with the massive disruption of the Covid-19 crisis it'd going to take a lot of analysis before we can draw any useful conclusions.

But to your main point, I'd agree that surveillance doesn't really buy you safety. Crime has a lot of facets and just increasing the number of security cams and license plate readers is no substitute for problems with the criminal justice system and socioeconomic woes.
There's no good way to extend abstract classes.

If you're using proxy, you pay a large performance penalty, and you can't call protected superclass methods or access protected superclass fields without using reflection.

gen-class is a truly awful thing to use.

Even when type hinted, defrecord fields all have type Object.

primitive type hinting, and corners like the type hinting in deftype/reify (where you have to either type hint everything or nothing)

Having to type hint with ^"[Lcom.example.project.package.Class;" is foul.

No niceties like SAM conversion, No integration with java.util.function interfaces.
One product I made had roughly a hundred companies using it, I got one email in 3 years.

So, um, no.

Really depends on your product I guess, or you've never actually done it and are pulling figures out of your ass.

These weightlifters below all-inclusive weight category are pretty much not too fat. Look at deadlift records: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zxXQhSvGKY

Upwards 140 kg, there are fat people, but even Konstantinov (below 140kg)is not fat.

Take look at him doing 55 pullups: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boLl8rGhJvE

The "most people who lift weights is fat" myth comes from watching too much competition in open-ended weight category (which, for weightlifting, starts at 109kg, I believe).

My biggest frustration around ‘best practices’ is when you’re tasked with learning a new framework to consider adopting it for the company and you’re given a week and they want ‘best practices’ to come out of it.

There is no way I can learn how to write good code in a completely new framework that everyone should model after from that.

I can show what worked for a toy problem and something that’s hypothetically similar to a real problem, but that says nothing of real complexity or practices that are actually going to last more than a few months on the project.
One enhancement I can imagine is charging a processing fee to have your face removed from the site. If it is as easy to build this as was claimed in the article, then it is only a matter of time before someone does this.
Very neat -- I was playing with the non-weight stuff in the /guide/ section, and putting it into the playground to get a better sense of it, and noticed this slight parser bug:

I pasted this example into the playground:

Warmup drills: 3s

60m sprints: 7.12 7.03 7.01
# Unit: seconds

Jog: 1600
# Unit: meters

And it outputted that I had an activity called "m sprints". Looks like somehow the "60" is getting dropped.
I would guess a sizable fraction is regional policy, legal and marketing teams. The whole point of Uber is to operate everywhere and you simply can't run all of that in Silicon Valley without access to local knowledge. Not to mention the incredible bloat that comes from building in market-specific features across the whole planet.
The bigger the codebase and the more people in an org the more important coding standards are. But enforcing them should be 100% automated with a linter failing PRs that introduce incorrectly styled code (or precommit hook). That makes it so it doesn't waste code review time.
