I'm pretty sure they aren't arbitrary at all and are mostly due to managed and serverless offerings backed by duct tape and chewing gum. On a few occasions I have been left with all-but-proof that behind the "let us handle scaling for you" smoke and mirrors is a bash script on an EC2 instance sized by guesswork and hardcoded until you complain, at which point support might be able to shuffle it between instance types to eek out a bit more vertical scaling.
Watch out! You know if you highlight that, some twitterati will throw a fit and demand to call the language "snek".

Going to have to check this out tomorrow. Currently we offer SSO via Auth0; it works, but it feels messy and there’s errors I can’t seem to track down.
Continued fractions require an infinite number of operations to be worked out if you want to be exact, but that's also true of periodic decimals. You can terminate a continued fraction anywhere and get a best rational approximation.
I think it's notable for the recency of the event (their IPO). The article doesn't call them a first, though, just mentions this event as notable.
But those same humans will be supposedly colonizing Mars and elsewhere, bringing the same or even worse politics, which makes me say: if we can't solve our problems here, the perfect place to do so, then what's the point? It's a harsh question but a real one meant to highlight the imbalance of what people get hyped about versus what's really important.
I will say if you get the Moderna, that second shot is seriously painful. We had a pretty universal pain in the arm followed by chills followed by hot flashes then a day of feeling like you are walking through water. It was two days of crud. If you have a choice get Pfizer instead. The people taking that don't seem to suffer.
And hence no profit?
Note that on the list for Google, #7 is "google"

https://ahrefs.com/blog/top-google-searches/

There was actually a study done into this, and the results were basically that people didn't realize that the URL bar was also a query bar. Searching for "google" was how people got to http://www.google.com to start their actual search. I assume Bing has a similar situation.
I've not looked into this, but when you're buying the tickets won't it show you the plane you'd be flying?

E: Just checked on Google flights and it does say the airplane you'll be flying.
I did just because you asked, and mine (readFileP) is faster, barely different than the callback version. Actually it's the fastest one which makes no sense, so I think this benchmark may have quite a bit of error.

Results:

fs.readFileSync x 696 ops/sec ±1.96% (76 runs sampled)
fs.readFile x 2,045 ops/sec ±6.43% (72 runs sampled)
fs.promises.readFile x 435 ops/sec ±1.76% (78 runs sampled)
util.promisify(fs.readFile) x 2,053 ops/sec ±6.58% (67 runs sampled)
readFileP x 2,182 ops/sec ±4.00% (67 runs sampled)
fs.promises.readFile CACHED readFile x 438 ops/sec ±1.56% (79 runs sampled)
Fastest is readFileP,util.promisify(fs.readFile),fs.readFile
Slowest is fs.promises.readFile,fs.promises.readFile CACHED readFile

index.js:

const Benchmark=require("benchmark"),fs=require("fs"),path=require("path"),chalk=require("chalk"),util=require("util"),promisifed=util.promisify(fs.readFile),bigFilepath=path.resolve(__dirname,"./big.file"),suite=new Benchmark.Suite("fs"),readFileP=(...e)=>new Promise((i,r)=>fs.readFile(...e,(e,l)=>{e?r(e):i(l)})),readFileC=fs.promises.readFile;suite.add("fs.readFileSync",e=>{fs.readFileSync(bigFilepath,"utf8"),e.resolve()},{defer:!0}).add("fs.readFile",e=>{fs.readFile(bigFilepath,(i,r)=>{e.resolve()})},{defer:!0}).add("fs.promises.readFile",e=>{fs.promises.readFile(bigFilepath).then(()=>{e.resolve()})},{defer:!0}).add("util.promisify(fs.readFile)",e=>{promisifed(bigFilepath).then(()=>{e.resolve()})},{defer:!0}).add("readFileP",e=>{readFileP(bigFilepath).then(()=>{e.resolve()})},{defer:!0}).add("fs.promises.readFile CACHED readFile",e=>{readFileC(bigFilepath).then(()=>{e.resolve()})},{defer:!0}).on("cycle",function(e){console.log(String(e.target))}).on("complete",function(){console.log("Fastest is "+chalk.green(this.filter("fastest").map("name"))),console.log("Slowest is "+chalk.red(this.filter("slowest").map("name")))}).run({defer:!0});

This little bit is my "implementation":

readFileP=(...e)=>new Promise((i,r)=>fs.readFile(...e,(e,l)=>{e?r(e):i(l)}))

Run:

npm install --save benchmark chalk && node ./index.js
He doesn't need to demonstrate it with an 800-bit number. Given the claims made about how much faster this is, the effect should show up even in fairly small numbers.
Statistics is probably the wrong word. If a safety incident happens you'll hear about it. They're so rare across the board that they almost always make the news and the max is especially exposed in this regard. I wouldn't be worried about it from a personal safety perspective. That said, if you must or are just curious, stats and incident reports can be found here:

There has to be a way to transfer the massive yearly income of public money into the right private pockets.
From my understand, and I'm no expect, but the only known quantum attack against symmetrical crypto like sha-2 is [Grover's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grover%27s_algorithm), and the recommended advice is to double the key size, so sha-256 would probably see a huge boost in "hash rate" but not be broken, a move to sha-512 would work probably work.

The problem is that Shor's algorithm breaks asymmetrical crypto used in the wallet signing, that means you can forge ownership of any transaction outputs, which would completely shatter confidence in the coin before they could migrate all ownership of all funds to a new post-quantum signature scheme, this problem is a lot harder to solve compared to a hash algorithm upgrade.

That's too bad. I really like Alaska Air, although they don't have a lot of available flights. They configure their planes with a good amount of leg room.
> Why You Should Take Any Vaccine

Sinovac, the Chinese corona vaccine, is considered to be not worth administering by WHO, since it has less than 50% success rate, and Chinese laborers working on BRI overseas are getting sick with corona after receiving it.

So that's one that you don't want to take, though it's being imported by the developing world (Indonesia for example.)
“I’m not saying...”

Every "operations center" should have a goat on staff.

They're great for first line customer response, provide invaluable counseling services to the other employees (goats are never confused about priorities), and even help with paperwork.

Get the sales guys high enough and they might convince management to try the "new special rare imported coffee beans", even. That can backfire and you find yourself having to source more pellets, or hire more goats.

After taxes and living expenses it would still take years to save for a 2M home as an IC7.

Those homes peaked in 2018 anyway, bad investment.
I totally feel you. When I joined my current department it was pretty much the same. The engineering team transitioned from Jira to another Jira to a company specific PLM solution, and all formatting of existing docs in the process.

When I was on boarding I had to talk to so many people to get a brief understanding on all processes, tools, etl, deployment methods, APIs and so on. I made some notes on my way and felt the need to share them with the others because everyone was struggling with that topic. The only one source of truth was a 80 page pdf file maintained by one architect.

The solution I went for was markdown docs in Gitlab plus pretty HTML pages generated by mkdocs. The mkdocs material theme is really nice. This has been so successful that we have over 3000 commits after 18 months and over 1000 merge requests to the docs. The main benefits are:

* easy to use, markdown is easier that rst. Especially for non dev people.
* wysiwyg editor in the gitlab webide. Most changes are made in gitlab itself. From change to merge request in 4 clicks without the need to understand git.
* it is just text. In the beginning many people said that they wont contribute anything because the next tool migration will loose everything. But now the docs are in markdown and easily portable.
* gitlab ci automatically lints the changes on every commit so that mkdocs doesn't break because of malformed syntax and broken links. You can only merge to master when the pipeline is green.
* possibility to peer review. We have regulatory requirements for 4 eye principle of some parts, with merge requests we can easily approve and discuss merge requests.

The biggest problem is in my opinion to get our very non technical management onboard. They basically ignore to comment on merge requests or discuss changes in gitlab because it's a developers tool. Therefore they stick to stupid mailing lists and are left out in the process. But everyone from dev to ops, tst, sec is really happy.

It would be nice to have a technical writer maintaining and cleaning up the docs, but there is no budget for that, so it's will probably stay my side job.

Yes that is what should normally have happened. I dont know why he was given credit before they received the Trade in Macbook. That is why I am thinking if this is a pendemic thing ( because store aren't open ) or a new policy.
TurboTax is preventing the government from offering a solution and I wouldn't be surprised if they promote complicating the tax code. It's incredibly common for companies to promote additional regulation to prevent competition.

ReadyReturn[1] was a 2005 California Tax prep program. It mailed you a prepopulated tax form. It was incredibly popular during the pilot program and TurboTax spent $1.7 million lobbying against it.

Most people don't have complicated taxes, but I find even collecting all the forms from employers and institutions and filling out the forms a pain. I'm confident it's the most error prone part. I honestly don't think capital gains or HSA complicate things all that much if you're automating things. I don't care how complicated the tax code is. I have personal opinions on what they should incentivize, but don't care how it's calculated. Most countries offer prefilled or tax software to cover basic needs.

That's over 14 days, so it averages to just under 1 request per IP per hour. That seems reasonable for an NTP server.

What seems stranger to me is the incorrect clock settings on 30% of those computers. Why do they all think it's the end of September (even though the years are drastically different)?
That is the angle the linked article chose to take, but Norwegian themselves have never taken that position, and they're cancelling Airbus orders too.
I've talked to old-time IBM service engineers and IBM would do just about anything to keep a customer's computer running. An engineer could call his boss and say that a customer needed a very expensive replacement core memory, and IBM would send someone on the next flight to deliver it. If the customer was in the middle of nowhere, someone would drive out with a part and the engineer would drive to meet them halfway. There's a reason people say that nobody ever got fired for buying IBM.
The buried lede here is what's going on with Baidu. Presumably the initial erroneous request was typed into a browser, does Baidu operate a browser in China? Do they operate a portion of the backbone network infrastructure, and are inspecting traffic?

If not, how could they possibly have identified this as a target for crawling, unless perhaps they are being fed traffic by the Great Firewall?
This is key for adults. This is one reason that I generally avoid people that are put off by bad words even positive intent.

And folks, this is why you hire system administrators. We understand how stuff runs, is stored, backup procedures, cost expenditures and savings, and more.

We also know dev work, but it's not our specialty. We also know how to manage projects but we're not project managers. We also know how to handle billing, but we're not accountants.

... But our job encompasses all of them. And we reach out when we don't know. Our job is to make the trains run on schedule, using the average amount of fuel, with nobody stressing, and the customers happy. You get rid of us.. and... $7k of overage is nothing.

Flutter web is not ready. They should just stop advertising flutter web. It is ruining reputation of Flutter for Android/iOS.
Could you expand on "much worse?" Are they slower, are they harder to implement?
The reality is that Amazon makes big bucks off the complete opacity of their costs. If you offer a UI where a click costs money, you should also display price.

But that's just my opinion. Maybe others like buying things from a menu without prices.

DigitalOcean emailed me once when I left my single $5/month instance open by mistake. AWS would never do that even for thousands.
And yet any time someone proposes to actually implement it, the response is always negative: "don't roll your own encryption" or "sharing and storing the pads is infeasible" or some such.

Seems like we should have figured out a way by now to use one time pad encyption by default for critical paths, even if that requires new industries to distribute pads and guarantee their security.
Here's the removed content. Honestly it's funny and not offensive, and I'm speaking as someone who spends a lot of my time combating various forms of bias.

Because the world today is not the world of yesterday. A capitalist oligarchy runs the world and forces us to consume in order to keep the gears of this rotten society on track. As such, the biggest market for video game consumption today is the mobile one. It is a market of poor souls forced to compulsively consume digital content in order to forget the misery of their everyday life, commute, or just any other brief free moment they have that they are not using to produce goods or services for the ruling class. These individuals need to keep focusing on their video games (because not doing so will fill them with tremendous existential angst), so they go as far as spending money on them to extend their experience, and their preferred way of doing so is through in-app purchases and virtual currency.

But what if someone were to find a way to edit the saved games and assign the items and currency without effort? That would be terrible, because it would help players consume the content much faster, and therefore run out of it sooner than expected. If that happens, they will have nothing that prevents them from thinking, and the tremendous agony of realizing their own irrelevance would again take over their life.

No, we definitely do not want that to happen, so let's see how to encrypt savegames and protect the world order.

I really wish air ticket websites had a feature to request itineraries with Airbus aircraft only.

After what happened with the 737 MAX I'm not sure if I have faith in Boeing's handling of everything else.
It's not hard to implement the construction in the proof. Generally you'll encounter problems in the wild in any interpreter. Similarly you can encode many open mathematical problems into simple programs where finding runtime bounds is equal to solving the problem. The Collatz Conjecture for example.
> Remember that in C "undefined behavior" [...] means that a conforming implementation can do literally anything. In the worst case, it will do what what you expect until it fails at the most inconvenient possible moment.

Actually, the worst case possibility is that your program will become Skynet, enslave humanity for 10000 years, collapse all stars in the universe into black holes, and significantly accelerate processes such as the heat death of the universe.
And hourly billing alerts would also help.

Admittedly the feature that Azure has that AWS doesn't is "kill everything when exceed X dollars". Not so great for prod, but superb for dev.

Please realize that when you hand devs with AWS keys, you're assigning an unlimited liability to your company with whatever accident a dev might do. (Accidents happens, and quite often when experimenting.)
I didn't realize Factorio was sex-filled escapism! Here I thought it was just vanilla escapism. I'll have to give it another go next time I find 6 straight months I don't mind blotting out.
I'm young and healthy, with less than 0.4% risks of dying, so I think I'll pass for the time being, and leave my dose to those who want it.

I'm super happy to give it to them, as I want as many people vaccinated to protect me (herd immunity) without being vaccinated myself to avoid the rare risk of side effects that will be known better in a year or two from now.

Yeah, I'm selfish. And no, I don't care about people possibly dying. They should get vaccinated! They should take any vaccine!

Actually, I wish I could resell the dose the government wants to give me to someone from a country that doesn't have enough vaccine, like on ebay.

Unfortunately, in my experience, it doesn't work: I tried to do that before during the H1N1 scare with the help of friends and the parcels didn't reach the buyers.

Which it is not.

The first otome game is generally considered Angelique, and was released in 1994.

There is a rather big franchise called Ouran High School Host Club, which started in 2002, which is a parody on the otome genre and assumes that the audience be familiar with it, as it mocks it's clichés.

There is absolutely nothing new or newsworthy about the existence of otome games and some of the comments in this thread really make me aware of how every news article appears accurate, safe for the one about the subject one happens to be somewhat knowledgable in oneself.

It makes me realize that most likely I have also been making such comments from other news articles, not realizing how much the article was sensationalized dreck news that attempted to arouse a false impression.
Effective Java : Joshua Bloch

In my 23s (2008) when I started my career as a Java Developer it was Effective Java. Applying that rules and talking about them with other colleagues makes me better and self-confident developer which other noticed. That leads to better salary negotiations in the future (and my job made me most money). After 10+ years it still helps, because I work mostly in enterprise environments when maturity is way lower and at the same time nowadays lot of juniors joining java community and they are even more junior than I was back in my start of career.

For me there is no better way for your wealth building than real knowledge. Learn hard skills, nurture soft skills, work smart. Lot of investment opportunities are just gambling (with money of naive people), choose wisely.

Not exactly. This is more an artefact of language design.

If you convert everything to continuation passing style, then every function call, tail call, recursion, etc. is just as expensive (and expressive) as a GOTO. This is, incidentally, the main "trick" or lightbulb moment in the classic Cheney on the MTA paper by Henry Baker [1].

Now if we're talking specifically in C, then absolutely! But while this intuition holds for C, it's not always true and doesn't have to be always true.

It's far worse than how you paint it.

The article makes it seem as though it be a unicum, a new hole in the market dived into.

Otome as a genre is old, and has been commercially viable for a very long time, and there are tonnes of products in it, not merely video games, but books, television series, theatre dramata and so forth.
And at the same time, widespread rejection of certain things people do and say is a critical part of changing popular ethics. I'm not saying I agree with every contemporary expression of wokeness. But we have made some progress in part because when someone said something "offensive" to their coworker or acuiantance the offended party told that person to stop.

When people stop going along with things is when what is acceptable begins to change. Unfortunately, public shaming and ostricism seems to be a fundamental part of evolving social mortality.
