Maybe on HN but outside of our bubble most people have no clue what data is collected about them on the regular and how it is (mis-)used. If you tell them they act offended and tell you that surely you must be paranoid, have something to hide or be joking, and that it would never be allowed by the government (or whatever)!!1

Unfortunately, in fact it has nothing to do with whether you're paying for Gmail. Your data is still more valuable then your the 15 bucks or whatever you pay per user for Google Workspace these days.
Google do it with the paid Enterprise accounts, too. Admins have some (limited) influence over it there (in that they can switch of certain things but that's actually a brand-new option) but of course that doesn't mean that Google stops collecting and aggregating that data anyway. They just hide the (marginally useful) front-end from you that's their fig leaf for justifying the data analysis in the first place (like the automatic flight reminders, calendar integration, parcel tracking or text completion).

Please anyone sincerely explain the truth for what this's all about?
Very cool! It seems like this is more the way things are moving. Just out of curiosity, how did you get the big name companies on your landing page to use your product if you just now launched?
Definitely!

Thank you so much, that game has been lurking at the back of my mind for the better part of 30 years!
You posted this twice but failed to explain what the twist is.
It also had much nicer graphics.

At my first job we used one as colour front end to a PDP 11/03 that was attached to a huge hydrodynamic model- It largest physical model in the world at the time and used 1/3 of our entire lab space related to a nuke plant in China.

When the Chinese delegation arrived they where stunned by the BBC micro and apparently spent the next weekend scouring the area for BBC micros to take back.
65F in our house here in Michigan (in the US). Thats ~18C. Our house was built in 1860 and leaks hot air like a sieve. We also get a noticeable breeze inside if the wind is from the west-southwest.

On the butter front, we get it delivered from a local dairy and for about half the year its too hard for easy spreading. We keep it on the counter and I basically put a patty of it on my toast and then stick it back in the toaster oven for another 30 seconds while I get my peanut butter out.
Meh. About 80% of that article discusses known limitations of Cassandra, which isn't specific to a use case of object store metadata storage. In the little that it actually does specifically talk about that use case, if your object store reflects the Cassandra limitations (flat, infrequent mutability), I don't see why Cassandra would be a bad choice.
That can be a minor complication compared to just, writing a good autocomplete system at all. Microsoft went to a lot of effort, they have some good video talks about it out there. But being able to give compiler feedback in realtime requires thinking about the compiler with that in mind from the start, other wise it is too slow and resource consuming.
I am curious what you mean by “ruled with an iron fist.” I am curious if you are able to offer a single compelling example.

This is an ad hominem but I don’t care: I have seen you here many times before pushing right-wing disinformation - and not something can be chalked up to a valid difference of opinion, but instead indicating that you are either a saboteur or, at best, hopelessly ignorant.

I see that yesterday you were pushing the (utterly preposterous and despicable) right-wing conspiracy that the COVID lockdowns are a progressive ruse and that after vaccinations the lockdowns will continue under different pretenses.

So I am wondering if maybe your hostility to HR comes from the possibility that you are a right-wing crank who makes employees extremely uncomfortable? I sure as heck wouldn’t hire you for anything!

It's great indeed and it's advancing quickly. I hope it'll reach 100% coverage at some point but I don't know whether that's achievable.
In some languages, like Modula-2, modules and libraries are exactly the same unit of measure.

You just don't group multiple modules into a single library.

Well you kind of can with sub-modules, but at the end of the day the binary library is generated exactly the same way.

Why are there 300 applicants? Why do employers have high standards for low skill jobs? It's because all these people failed to get an education that prepares them for a well paying job and now the employer is basically benefiting from their choice of education without having to fund it or pay a good wage.

As it is right now, being an average human in a developed country doesn't pay because there are lots of average humans in developing countries who are begging for work harder than you do.
Is that limited to the US? In Europe I don't see cars do that; usually the lights blink but it doesn't make large sound.
It made me happy to read that you had fun making this and that it made you happy.

That is what it is all about! Too often we forget to have fun.
A possible interpretation: creating an environment of effective co-operation is a big problem for many companies.
Saw a documentary about that a while back. Just Googled it for anyone that's interested in how stuff like this starts and is maintained exactly like the parent describes: The Maple Syrup Heist on Netflix.
Should've just repackaged the US butter, labelled it as "packaged in New Zealand", and resold that to the Russians at a hefty markup.

I would guess there are two possibilities. The system won't override pilot input or the system only kicks in when it's 100% certain that a crash is inevitable.

Sounds like by the time the system kicks in, you probably need it to kick in.

Some may read this and naturally say "So buy butter from another country!". I'm here to tell you that this is basically impossible due to protectionist laws.

There are theoretically ways to import butter to Canada, but you need a special license, and there are very strict quotas. Generally, only large dairy corporations can get them, and only to handle major shortage.

In my entire life spent mostly in Canada, I have never seen butter being advertised as being from another country. Cheese, definitely, but never butter.

Even trying to bring some home with you from a vacation isn't allowed. It would be taken if declared at the border, and destroyed. Failure to declare it is a crime.

Why? The Canadian dairy industry is an incredibly powerful lobby group. All they have to do is point to the very low standards in the USA and say "if we let foreign dairy in, we'll be exposing Canadians to that". Liberal governments and Conservative governments alike pander to them endlessly.
What is bistability in this context? Confidence that the ink will rest in 'on' or 'off' configurations?

I have a different work laptop so I mostly use this on weekends and weeknights and I believe NVME APST mode may be affecting it.

Then there's always the possibility of wrong interpretation of the numbers as every OEM has possibly different implementation.

In Apple's case it's more likely they have the right implementation as they make both the software and the hardware. There could still be bugs..
Yes. the problem with "eventual consistency" is that "eventually" never happens about 1 in a million times, and with millions of storage objects to manage you can't have that. So what's the alternative as a metadata store for object storage ?

This is a valid strategy, but some companies already disallow virtual/prepaid cards, Scaleway for example.
They can still filter candidates based on things such as availability, salary expectations, or target universities/companies. And call them if some crucial information is missing.
As far as I understood I could use both drag and drop editor as well as code. If so, how's it handling css? do you handover tailwind classes/bootstrap/just vanilla css.
Incidentally: tech managers who have (nontrivial) HR duties are exactly as reliable, competent, and qualified as HR managers with programming and DBA responsibilities.

This is horrible. Also easily defeated if you have a second computer with which to do non-work stuff or just run the Upwork app inside a VM. As a client of the freelancer, I'd be far more interested in the quality of the final deliverable than making sure they didn't goof off while producing it.

True. If your utilitarian calculus actually works out, you don't have to constantly tell people that.
A tangent - I love using minio in dev & test for their s3 simulators. Being able to throw away a bucket and start from scratch, and having everything self contained in my docker-compose command is a real blessing.

Has anyone ever used min.io for production stuff? What are the pros & cons over vanilla s3?
For anybody who doesn't already know what NPT-threads are: it's a standard for tapered threads. You see it frequently on pipes, or anywhere you need the threads to seal up.

The point of it being tapered is that the fit between the male and female parts gets closer as you tighten the fitting. In domestic plumbing, you wrap the male threads with Teflon tape, and as you tighten, the tape gets squished into the very close fit and forms a seal.

The key point to understand before introducing a washer into the system is that there isn't a well-defined point where the system can be considered bottomed axially. It isn't like a nut and bolt where once the nut hits the bolt head, it isn't going any farther.

If you introduce a washer that doesn't allow the tapered thread to tighten to a sufficiently close fit, you've potentially lost your seal and might have a loose fitting. If your Zerk falls out, you risk loss of lube and/or contamination of the lube.

I'm sure they've given this some thought, but I would also be curious to hear how this works.

> Mass media needs the fairness doctrine back

Commercial mass media.

If you want to operate as a non-profit, do what you like.

But if you make >$x in profit on a regulated channel (radio, tv, streaming audio or video, or platform of same), then you have fairness requirements to satisfy.

Write it in safe harbor terms. If you do one of x, y, or z, then you gain protection for all of your content.

Where x might be "ensure your feed algorithms mix content according to physically local norms." y might be "produce educational content without a clear position, about an issue of interest to the public." Etc.

> outlets like OANN, RT, etc are really self-sustaining propaganda outlets

Absolutely. They're the "news" realization of the same system social media companies have optimized for.

If the system of rules you have in place incentivizes sewer creatures, change the system. Don't waste time trying to play whack-a-mole on evolutionarily fit species created by your environment.

Well, i can't speak for Wirth so i don't know why that didn't happen but my guess is that he either didn't think about it (i mean Pascal was already very expressive for its time) or it would considerably complicate both the language and memory handling for an arguably niche use case (remember that write not only accepts variable number of arguments but also different data types - and that doesn't even take into account the special syntax for padding, number of digits for reals, etc).

It is better to think read/write as akin to 'while', 'if', etc than as regular procedures. Making your own 'if' might be neat, but not something you'd see often outside of Lisp :-P
It's like a casino settling with victims of an addiction machine with tokens for other games that can't be cashed out.

25 years ago I would have said people were just being lazy for expecting autocompletion.

Now I think we should demand autocompletion, and much more.

We should want both our languages to be smarter (type inference) so we can type less, and our tools are should know what we want to type.

Pyinstaller was definitely one of the ones I evaluated— I don't have detailed notes, but it seems I wasn't able to get it working with one of my dependencies, possibly an issue with cffi.
I also get very frustrated by high latency text editors, but a consistent 1hz rendering can be slightly less frustrating if renders get applied consistently and you're confident your key strokes were recognized and will be applied.
The last time I went to a Fry's was 2-3 years ago. I needed a very specific cable that was somewhat obscure. Their teenage employees couldn't help me and after searching it was nowhere to be found in their giant store. What's the point of having such a big store if you can't become the place for that kind of thing?

I bought the cable later that day on Amazon for $6. It came two days later and worked perfectly. That was when I knew Fry's was probably doomed.

Although it's interesting to me that Microcenter seems to be doing better. I think on average their stores are definitely smaller.
I never cared for the power of the CPU unless that means quicker photo processing. The CPU in my iPhone 12 now acts the same as my GFs 2020 SE or my works XR. All I cared about is not taking bad pictures. Coming from the pixel, it’s not that much different but the success rate is much more stable. With the pixel you never know if the camera will fail that day or not. Or take 10 seconds to open, or 15, or not save the picture.
I (not Canadian) buy a butter that has some rapeseed oil mixed in, which makes it smearable well below 20C.

Junk Firms Are Posing as Green Warriors to Reduce Debt Costs
Nah. Besides professional intrinsic motivations (some people just can't convince themselves to produce shit) it also matters what the client wants and requires.

Of course, a clueless non-technical client, esp. if they are inexperienced on top of this, will not care and thus my hire someone who works like you suggest. A bit more sophisticated client will find someone who's experienced in managing and hiring developers, a tech lead, and help them pick and sometimes giude/check-in on their freelancer. Though very few people actually do this.

Yes, that's bad indeed.

However, I've ordered from PCBWAY quite a lot recently, and I've never experienced anything like this, even on prototyping-quality boards. Also, the solder mask is much thicker (pcbs don't look semi-transparent like this one), and look more professional (I didn't order any assembled boards so I can't say anything about their soldering job). How long ago did the author order these pcbs?

The defect could also be the result of the author trying to fit the pcb into the keyboard.

Anyway, rest assured, on current PCBWAY boards traces are covered under a thick layer of solder mask and it is extremely difficult to remove them from the board (I just tried with a sharp metal tip on an old board).
Oh right, I was using "rls" as part of the MS VSCode plugin and gave up using Rust in the end as it was so bad to me. I might check this one out.
So on one hand you have GDPR to protect your privacy and on the other they made it so you have to give up your entire identity to them anyways. Brilliant.

I wasn't quite specific. I meant the Congressmembers who include guns in their video chat office while in remote sessions, in an environment where open-carrying reactionaries have threatened and/or forcibly entered legislative offices in Oregon, Idaho and of course DC.

It's a threat of violence, particularly coming from legislators who have been reluctant to condemn said reactionaries, and it kind of looks like a wink-and-nudge endorsement.
Originally the main developers didn't request any compensation for this, but yes they will be compensated in Gridcoin. The reason for this is partly that Gridcoin is really community run and doesn't have much USD or other fiat just lying around, but with the history of the foundation address (not an organization), there's a fair amount of Gridcoin that can be spent on it and other tasks

Back when I was doing iOS consulting I wrote and published a few games as side projects - almost got sued by Atari for my version of Battlezone.

Doing something polished as a one man band is incredibly difficult unless you are extremely multi-talented. Sound effects, graphics, music, game design are all skills that you probably don't have.

It is an amazingly fascinating world though and you learn a lot doing it. Just don't expect to become rich or famous!
24yrs ago I took a Buteyko breathing course. Basically cured my asthma, I went about 16yrs without taking medication (this was down from taking around 4 doses per day). I've had a few flare ups in the last few years due to environmental changes but it is under control again now.
I'd recommend this over taking drugs.

It was great that you could get ROMs for other languages. I learnt Pascal on a Beeb. There was also Lisp, Forth, and a few others.

It also had the best resolution I ever saw on an 8 bit micro: mode 0 was 640x256 with one bit colour depth. This meant you could have 80 columns.

The one thing that I missed were colours: you only really had 8.
Antisemitism is an ancient thing, so just about everything you could think of has been used as an attack. The point of coded language is plausible deniability. It's impossible to know without a pattern or a mask-off moment. This doesn't seem to represent either.
