I can see why. Some people think it’s wrong not to include diverse characters, and others think it’s wrong to speak for other races (ex. colour matching voice actors to their characters). If you’re a white person who wants to write a book then I think you just need to accept that a handful of crazy people are going to get angry no matter what you do.
Depends on the vehicle, stuff like older defenders and generally land rovers had a connector on their transfer cases for that purpose. Obviously none of those are covered by any warranty any more, bit I wouldn't be surprised if there are new vehicles like that out there.

In all these cases that would be intended use, so.
I remember realizing I was 10-20 minutes into an infomercial instead of regular commercials late at night when I was young. I was probably distracted at the time but man did I feel stupid when I realized that it wasnt just a really long P90X commercial.
Exactly - and the regulators thought of this. The obvious/simple/default option MUST be the one that protects the users information the most, or the GDPR is violated.

The law is written understanding that users are lazy/ignorant/non-technical. Anything else would have been useless.
I had checked out F# for a while, some time earlier. IIRC, it has some features like that, for encoding business logic in code/types. Probably some other languages do too.

I had mainly used Scott Wlaschin's site F# for Fun and Profit, and MS sites, for F#.

Edit: Also had looked at OCaml, via Real World OCaml, and also much earlier, via INRIA / O'Reilly sites / books / software.

F# may be based on OCaml.

I've got at least a dozen soviet film cameras; Zorki 1s (one of my favourite), Zorki 3's (and the "crown" of the collection, the 3c). I've got a Zorki 1 that is /at least/ as smooth as my Leica IIIc, it is incredibly smooth. These are easy to fix, easy to maintain and with a bit of care (and understanding how to use the TINY rangefinder) you can make fantastic images.

One camera the article doesn't mention is the Iskra. It's a "folding" 6x6 medium format camera that is probably the best I've seen in terms of quality. Problem is, finding a good one is tough, as it was very complex (it was a copy of Agfa Isolette) -- very often the cameras are completely worn out due to use over so many years. If you find one that works, you are SUPER lucky. I bought 5 to get 2 working, but it's worth the money, the lens is spectacular, and being medium format, a scan of that will compare to even modern cameras.

Another camera that is not mentioned is the more modern "panoramic" camera Horizont that use a rotating shutter to give you a fantastic panoramic view with correct verticals! This one is a marvel really, I made fantastic pictures with mine.

There is a lot of fun to be had with these cameras; there are also dozens and dozens of lens that are worth playing with!
I always take photos when I start a tenancy. More often than not, the property manager/landlord tries that I caused pre-existing damage and the photos always help.
I don't really think no one is allowed to say anything controversial anymore. Plenty of national newspapers are willing to give people front-page editorials to say things that are not mainstream. That's hardly a dark age.
> So did someone really part with $6.6 million for this token, and if so did that person actually earn that money, or just win it from the Bitcoin slot machine?

The solution to that problem is amazingly simple: IRS. Whoever made that money, fake or not, gets to pay taxes on $6.6M USD.

Agreed. Unless you're concerned with power consumption, I'm not sure where this server fits, especially with an A72 core which is a few years old.

I'd love to have one of these to replace ODroid N2+ just for a rack mount solution, but not at that price.
Right which is why it's not great to have those compared with (say) DC and Ottawa.
So I am super interested in your comment and I think you will be a bit surprised by my response.
I am not a strong believer in capitalism. On the contrary. Neither is Andrej. We both grew up in leftist families and I must have been the only portfolio manager that reads Das Kapital at night. We actually came at the problem from a very very different direction. We thought pricing everything from a US perspective was problematic. The price levels in India are about a 10th of the US.
So we thought "Ok but that doesn't even make sense for a SaaS to price the same way everywhere. Because they lose out on poorer markets". We built Corrily with the thought that more personalized pricing based on an individual's willingness to pay also reflected an individual's capacity to pay.

We think it's pretty cool to align a business incentive (reach more markets) with an economic one (poorer nations and richer nations paying different amounts).

I actually wonder a lot what other people think about this because I think it is an important point. Is it fairer to price differently according to willingness to pay given not everyone has the same purchasing power, or to give the same price to everyone?
Presumably there's some point at which fame makes it hard to conceal an identity that many are intensely curious about. But for the vast bulk of authors, pretty much no one is going to do even casual sleuthing to try to find you out.

Of course, that may limit some of your promotional opportunities but I don't know why it would be hard in general.
Same here.

My father left when I was 6. My mother went cleaning to make some money. Later, she remarried and my step dad was well off, but he also had kids of his own, so it wasn't that much of an improvement.

We didn't have much and all of my childhood I played video games I borrowed from friends on PCs I built of old parts I got from friends or in the trash.

When I went to university, I suddendly met many people who had rich parents and I felt like the dumbest person around. I guess, I probably was, haha.

Since coding paid well, I could clear all my dept realatively early after my degree and now I have saved some money.

But I still have the feeling tomorrow all my clients will desert me.
I don't disagree with you, but also I'm not sure I have issue with this new paradigm.

Y Combinator - Product Engineer | San Francisco | SF | https://www.workatastartup.com/jobs/41302

Y Combinator has a small software team (about 8 engineers) that powers all of YC -- applications, Startup School and Work at a Startup. The latter -- Work at a Startup -- is hiring a product engineer to help us grow the platform and build it into a superpower for YC founders to hire great people.

We started workatastartup.com started as a lean MVP two years ago has matured into a suite of sourcing and networking tools that founders and job seekers absolutely love. We’ve helped land key hires across hundreds of YC startups -- from founding engineers to VPs of product and operations -- and we’re now looking to bring on a Product Engineer to help us scale our impact even more.

You’ll be working directly with two former YC founders/engineers (from Box, Twitter & Lyft), and a small software team full of kind people who are eager to help you get up-to-speed. You’ll be relied upon not only to help us tackle our hefty roadmap, but to also explore how YC can leverage its unique structural advantages to help our founders hire great people even faster.

As you might imagine, this is a good job for someone who is excited about startups and interested in learning more about them. You’ve likely worked at or started a startup, or want to do so in the future.

If you're interested, create a profile at Work at a Startup and either apply there or email ryan@ycombinator.com.
More than likely because that's a security risk. If it didn't do this, an attacker could likely roll back your machine to before you had Touch ID set up and then roll it forward again to access your data, now without a Touch ID restriction.
It creates an incentive (to identify entities breaking the law), but I don't see how this is perverse. It's the desired result.
Obie | YC S19 | Mid-Senior Frontend, Mid-Senior Backend | Chicago, IL. | Remote, Onsite (when available) | Full Time
Obie is looking for passionate, talented software engineers to join us (Mid-senior FE and BE) with experience in Javascript, React, Typescript, Node.js, GraphQL, Database. A small pivot in our journey has led to a strong product-market fit and we are moving quickly to build something incredible.

If you own a building with leases to tenants, you need insurance - whether the economy is growing or not. It is also an industry that has not evolved to use modern technology: workflows are manual, communication is messy and time-consuming, and people often don’t know what they’re buying or why they’re buying it. Obie sells commercial real estate insurance in a new way: one that emphasizes transparency and human-centric automation.

We are a venture-backed technology company. Our early success is in large part due to our unwavering standards in hiring. We recognize that our product is only as good as the people building and promoting it. We look for individuals who find solutions by going through the cycle of ideation to implementation with curiosity, rigor, and a highly analytical lens. Ask anyone who works here and you’ll hear similar reasons for joining:

- Autonomy. For assertive self-starters, the opportunities to contribute are limitless. - Impact. By challenging the way it's always been done, we solve problems that have a big impact on our business. - Collaboration. We encourage rich discussion and civil debate at every turn. - People. We are inspired by the collection of crazy-smart people around us.

At Obie, we judge people based on the merit of their work. If you are passionate about what this role entails, are excited by solving real problems, and you want to help shape the future of commercial real estate, we want to hear from you.

We’re based in Chicago and have an office in Florida, but (like everyone) we’re remote at the moment.

We welcome US/Canadian based remote applicants, but be warned: we’ll try to persuade you to move to the City by the Lake.

Email me directly for more info or to set up a chat! Would love to learn more about you: adam@obierisk.com

How do the "Precursors" get around evolution?

I've seen this used as a plot seed for any number of space operas, but as far as I can recall, I haven't seen any that used it and also explained how they were able to somehow instill traits which, over hundreds of millions or billions of years, could not only remain present but unexpressed in the genomes of Nth-generation offspring, but could then, in response to some kind of extremely specific and complex stimulus, be expressed - but only when needed, and in perfect accord with the original intelligent design.

It sounds like I'm making fun here, and I'll admit I picked the phrase "intelligent design" with puckishness aforethought. But it's a serious question, and what I'm really looking for is media recs. Does anyone actually reckon with this, in a way that's plausibly compossible with our current understanding of genomic heredity?

(Introns and pseudogenes don't count, and yes, I remember that hilarious TNG S6 episode that used them as an excuse to give Barclay even more not-very-well-depicted psychological problems. Sure, these regions aren't translated into proteins, but they remain as susceptible to all the ordinary mechanisms of mutation as any other part of the genome. Not only that, being unexpressed, they are if anything less likely to be conserved than exons, so the "alien space magic hidden in non-coding DNA!" thing doesn't fly.)
Interesting note about the pseudo-uniqueness of GUIDS.

Version 1 GUIDS were/are based on MAC address. There was actually an unfortunate bug/issue with VMs in that they typically (all) shared the same virtual internal MAC address by default. This of course was not something that the version 1 GUIDS anticipated. As a result it was not all that uncommon to find duplicate GUIDS generated by VMs

I feel like anyone who gets popular just suddenly leaves behind the world where you're having to apply via resumes. Github profiles were that personal portfolio for programmers but some people never get theirs looked at. So why is Ben's portfolio better than someone's Github? The answer is likely because people are lazily proxying their assessment of someone through popularity (a successful youtube channel). There is some safety in this (the internet is often a harsher critic than our employers). Popular Github repos have a similar effect though. Plus Valve and Google can afford the time to assess candidates more in depth by actually watching videos or reading code. Other companies cannot, and yet they're asking for passion from you. This is mostly what the author wants to stop.

I am quite interested that people worry cancel culture is preventing intellectual progress more than copyright.

Copyright, patents, and other forms of intellectual property have an absolute legal stranglehold on whatever you're trying to do. "Cancel culture", which honestly I've never felt like has limited me, just puts peer pressure on people.

Why is the outrage towards IP not as strong as it is towards cancel culture?
I appreciate the point of this article, but I think it oversimplifies both the thing it's criticizing and the solution.

Maybe others have heard "you must be willing to put your work family first" or "you can use your vacation time, but do you really need to?" I have not heard either of these in my career. No where (large company, small company, private company, publicly trade company, company founded the previous year or a company founded 125 years previously) had anyone said or implied expectations other than my actual family should come first. Every where I worked, ensuring that we took sufficient vacation time was encouraged (although I have worked with people that misunderstand that vacation time means that you don't work, and that checking email is working).

More subtly, However, is how companies handle "crunch time," (again, this has been a thing in pretty much every company I've worked at regardless of size, age, or industry). No one is saying "this is more important than your family," but they will say "we need to get this done by X date." The managers I have respected understand that there are sacrifices to do this and do something to make it up (e.g., give bonus vacation days). But on our end, we have a paycheck because our company takes in revenue - our job is to do the things that ensure we continue to ensure revenue, we can't just say "I wrote the program, I'm out."

However, there is something to keeping your management accountable that this is a career for us, not a charity. If you want us to stick around, you have to pay us. If you want to build a team that people want to work on, we need passionate people but we also need people representing a diversity of skills, interests, race, gender, ways of thinking, etc. Many of the people I've enjoyed working with are certainly passionate about programming, but they had passions outside of work and coding. They have hobbies that include reading fiction, running, building stuff with Arduinos, or doing community service. They spend time with their families and friends.

I also agree with the article as it rejects the "this is how to be a real programmer" mentality. It's easy for that to introduce bias about who a group hires, promotes and works to retain (or the people we as a software engineering community tend to attract). There are lots of ways to be a "real" programmer (whatever that's supposed to mean).
I am going to charitably interpret your comment as ignorance of the topic as opposed to malicious muddying of the already confusing waters.

Self censorship is indeed driven by the judgement portion of the brain, however, what is being mourned here is the constantly shifting and uncertain ground on which our current society puts its taboos.

Most smart TVs turn on nearly instantaneously because they do not really shut down with a typical "soft off", so neither do they need to boot up with "soft on".

I had the same experience (but only used fish for a few months).

> it is just that at absolute level of suffering your issues are ignorable.

I'm curious, how do you go about establishing that level? Do you think it's really absolute, rather than relative to the stressors the observer feels? In reality, I think that's how most people actually operate. Something (extremely roughly) along the lines of: T >= O, where T is suffering of the target and O is suffering of the observer, results in empathy.

That gets caught up in the fact that suffering is more about perception, and is itself relative. So maybe we have to say both are level of suffering as perceived by the observer.

Something along the lines of "if I perceive you as suffering more than I do, I can have empathy for you". For what it's worth, I think this gets at the heart of the difference between sympathy (largely pity) and empathy more generally.

That vintage Ethernet card you linked to is quite something. I like the big metal-can tuned inductors like a 1970s TV set. It has a lot of blue bodge wires to fix things. M favorite is the chip with four X's of wire across it. Clearly they designed something backwards.

Cancel culture scared the ever living shit out of everyone, even everyday people. Whether you like it or not, it got every male in the workplace to not even breathe in the direction of women you work with. The movement permeated through normal life fast.

I think the "can" is applicable here and can think that even while acknowledging there are people who can't physically work. I don't want to put words in your mouth, so I'll ask: is this the only reason you object to using the word "can"? What would be more accurate in your view?
you make a good point.

The trick is separating "Don't give up" from "it's your fault if you haven't escpaed poverty."
