> is at least as much about a nationalist myth of pushback against Germany as a virile and potent competing empire as about fighting the immoral horrors...

Primary sources are the best for these kinds of questions. “The truth about hitler” (1935) by Churchill provides a good summary of his thinking well before the war broke out.

Everything about Germany at the time was alarming. It’s baffling how no one took it seriously. A militarized dictatorship is a clear threat of another war - which is exactly what happened. Compared to democracies, there is infinitely more danger as an aggressor in conflict. The decision comes down to one man and opposition is silenced.

He also mentions the anti-Semitic views which were already clear in Mein Kampf to everyone. This was not the primary reason of course as peace and security in Europe was always paramount, but if Germany wanted to be anti-Semitic itself all the Jews could leave instead of being hunted down over Europe by a single invading nation and left nowhere to hide which would have left options rather than war.

All in all the idea of “pushback against a competing empire” doesn’t seem to play in my reading of things at all.

Probably good to start with 'legal responsibility' and then make the case that the law is morally wrong.

But in USA, they don't really have to list anything they don't like.
Why the clickbait ?

I was studying plant cell tissue culture back in the 80's at Texas A&M . . . this is nothing new.
I've struggled with finding the "why" for the things that I'm doing, as my hyper-rationalizing brain often comes up with thousands of whys and I get stuck in not knowing which one why to choose.

> But if these are the primary motivators for why you’re building a community, I’m skeptical that you’ll succeed. These reasons put the benefit of the company ahead of the community member, and I’m pretty sure that any of our community members would see right through these motivations.

What I read in the quote from the article above is that it may be less about why one is building a community and more about for whom one is doing it. I've generally found for myself that this question motivates me more: "For whom am I doing this?"

Just seems that the why answers are rationalizations that we often give after doing something, whereas for-whom answers may motivate us to do something before we have done it.

I don't know though, I'm curious to hear your experiences.
Someone should tell that to all the stores that will never reopen
I had a recent question about "smithereens". It seems it may have come into the English language around 1810 as “smiddereens,” from the Irish word “smidirin,” which is the diminutive form of “smiodar,” which means "fragment."
There's a plot point about someone named Root in Cryptonomicon, but I have met someone with this surname (who, I think not familiar with its special meaning, requested "root" as her username on a computer system).
Not quite. If you never gave them ID back in the day, you can’t get out any more.
Our uncertainty about the world can follow classically just fine.
I tried both Eleventy and Zola along with a few other SSGs for my blog [1], and ended up going with Eleventy. I love that it's flexible with my directory structure, that I can write shortcodes with JavaScript (without adding JS to the client), and preview my site from my phone without any extra setup. (It gives you a URL when you start up the development server! Magic!)

It was almost trivial for me to add a social sharing image generator for my posts. [2] That's something I never thought my SSG would be able to do.

Definitely check it out if you're looking at static generators. Zola too, which is amazing in its own right.

I pay for Amazon Music, like I said in my other comment. I'm not talking about Amazon Music Prime. The app literally has full screen ads to upgrade the service to HD and so on. They are occasional, but they are ads. There's no option in the settings to disable them.
Same demo in VanilaJS and Sciter.JS : https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk (see screenshots there).

Binary is ~5MB, and that is HTML/CSS + QuickJS + NodeJS runtime.

Versus 50MB+ of NodeGUI that is Node.JS + QT.

And SvelteJS works in Sciter.JS out of the box too.
If you can’t reuse/share a lot of web technologies/stacks/libraries. Why would you not go for flutter instead
Interesting. Whatever it was, Trump did have a sharp effect on employment rate.
Well, I kind of am to be frank. OOP really mostly obscures an implementation and is often taught almost religiously as "the true one way". In the end, Exchange is a stellar example of the obscured and therefore unfathomable implementation.

You should really watch "Simple Made Easy" by Rich Hickey and think really hard about it. If you don't come to the conclusion that most software development could be way more sustainable in the long run would we use simpler tools and approaches instead of complecting everything especially with questionable OOP balast then maybe we have very different experiences.
The tl;dr of a Kalman filter is

- you have observations that are normally distributed around a linear function of an unknown state

- you have some state update function where the next state is normally distributed around a linear function of the unknown current state

- your beliefs about your initial state are normally distributed

then a kalman filter will update your beliefs about the state of your system and do as good a job as could be hoped for. There are also simple generalizations that relax some of those assumptions.

This is one of those algorithms that anyone working with data should know. It answers the dynamical question of wtf is going on now, given what I’ve seen over time.
Please explain how it's "not the right comparison".

The parent listed static site generators including Gatsby, Hugo, and Jekyll. I suggested NextJS is a superior option to those 3, because (among many other things) it supports "export" of a fully static, pre-rendered site, which puts it -- unambiguously! -- in the "JAMstack SSG tools" category. So I'm baffled by the downvotes, and your dismissal.

What am I missing? Thanks in advance!

PS Edit to add: NextJS is even listed, as the 1st result, in the parent's jamstack link!
They were none-profit at initial stage (free education for anyone, first Ng machine learning course), but later somehow turn to for-profit.

Write code in vim with no/few plugins. Don't worry about getting the variable names right. Then move to your IDE to get it to compile.

It's conceptually similar to sketching out the design of your code with a pen and paper or whiteboard. First write it quickly, then make it correct.
>why do startup founders - people who often take huge risks - tend to skew socially left?

People high in the big-five personality trait of openness perform well in startups (and perform relatively poorly in large organizations with an established business model) and high openness people tend to leftist political opinions.

So yeah, same issue that .Net had.

I can't find the original complaints about this (was back in early 2000s after all), but as I recall it someone was very surprised that something that compares as equality ended up two times in the hashmap, and that messed up their code bad.
There's a Johns Hopkins certificate program in data science on Coursera, it's all taught in R. If you have a background in data science a lot of the course will be review but I learned R taking those classes and found it to be really well designed.
Does Coursera even hire people having their certifications?
Ok so specifically, using your range of "Asana to higher", the "business" tier of Asana [O] is $24.99 per user per month, and something like Vendr [1] (and I apologize if this is not the correct compqrison) is $78k / year for the middle tier. Let's assume 3 users for Asana, that's $900 per year vs ~85x that for the competitor. That's probably missing some nuance but there's a ton of vagueness / purposeful opacity in the response above, so that's range is a best guess of sorts which you can correct if you choose.

Thank you for the insight.

Certainly, "in the upcoming version" is a bit late for those affected and most of those other Exchange-related hacks in the past. The thinking around Exchange is still more or less left in the 20th century and it shows.
save for screams of demented people. closer to downtown, of course, but increasingly prevalent.
It's still a win pollution wise. Those 4 stroke generators are far better re: emissions than a 2 stroke engine on ICE lawn tools.

They take the time to make quality videos (even if it takes week or even months) as opposed to others that rapid fire publish videos.

Some channels I'd previously recommend had quality drop. Rather than investing in a topic they got a spammy feel to them.

You know, the U.S. could respond to this by teaching people how to protect their communications against fiber-optic cable tapping, a serious threat to the communications of literally everyone in the world that's widely practiced by multiple great powers.

"How do we communicate safely when governments are tapping our communications infrastructure?" is a better question on multiple axes than "Which countries' network equipment and cables are safe to use?".
I paired up a 5950x with a $200 TUF 570 board - a middle of the road offering. One thing to consider is the BIOS version of the motherboard. The Asus one had a sticker with the build version, and what they were stocking in Microcenter was just new enough to support zen3 OOTB. A better board would allow for BIOS flashing without the CPU, and a few folks have struggled with that first flashing. Check the version first.

The threadripper boards are starting at $400 for the current generations. I regret spending what I did on the first generation boards, as they dropped support for them on the third generation. I'm waiting to see a zen3 series threadripper before I'll replace my old 1950x. The even older 3930k i7 was able to keep up on single threaded processes... which surprised me. Funny it really took 10 years before I got that wow factor again. The number of cores that I'd consider 'normal' has certainly gone up. Think the 3930k was around $600 in 2011, the 1950x around $800 in 2017, and the 5950x at $800, so that price point has not changed much. The first two were picked up at launch date, the last was a paper launch that took till January to find.

It seems MS is winning in the Education space - the existing mindshare for MS Office means it's hard to accept free Google Workspace and the learning curve that might come from that vs. M365 with the free desktop Office licenses they give out to every student and teacher.
It's not the same, because cars have mufflers, and are MUCH quieter than your leaf blower during operation. Of course you're not going to eliminate all noise, but they are significantly reduced without an engine. Can't really compare a freeway to your neighborhood lawn care.
Great applause to Valve for their effort. But gaming on Linux is a no for me just because of online games.
that's still a form of exposing microsoft stuff directly to the internet, in my view.
Ideally, we'd be able to control opt-outs at the browser level.

Good question.

In my case, I’ve always been good at in-person interviews. I’ll be nervous at first, but over the course of the interview, I can read the body language of everyone in the room and quickly get comfortable, and by the end of a successful interview everyone shakes hands and comes away feeling like I’m nearly part of the team.

On Zoom, it starts off the same way, but never gets better. I can’t really tell if anyone is really satisfied by my answers, and I’ll either ramble on, or end with “I’m not really sure I answered your question...”

At the end of the interview, they’ll invite me to ask some questions of my own, and I try to go in depth into understanding how they approach collaborating remotely. I feel like the answers are sometimes evasive and I come away wondering if my questions are too intrusive. Maybe a lot of teams have disagreements about this, and I shouldn’t ask them openly?
How were you able to determine the cause was Trump?
Not really. The upward trend started long before Trump became president.
My Kobalt cordless blower is very much entry level and has swappable batteries that also swap with my other Kobalt tools.

It's not the worlds greatest blower (480 CFM and 110 MPH) but it gets the job done on my modest yard (40mins of runtime).
Correction: Trump’s term overlaps with a period in which this indicator rose.
> "Prejudice + institutional power" is another framing where "racism against white people" is somewhat nonsensical.

Nonsense.

A white student is four times less likely to be admitted to a top university than a black student with the same grades and test scores.

A white student is significantly less likely to be admitted to medical school than a comparable black student.

There are literally hundreds of race-based scholarships exclusively for nonwhite students, and none exclusively for white students.

That's to say nothing of the thousands of special programs, events, job fairs, awards, and career opportunities that exist exclusively for nonwhite students and workers.
Can't speak for all of the Western states, but in SF it's basic hygiene to get piss off the sidewalk so that your store doesn't smell like it. Maybe there is a less wasteful way though, not sure.
I know it was meant as fun. I had a bitter laugh. :-)

Actually, you want to work in a setting where you understand the need and value of a feature and how it fits into the overall design and feel of the (software/ hardware) solution to a problem. Is such a case, you understand that there is no requirement but a need or pain point that needs to be addressed, if you want to deliver more value to the user, some of which may turn into financial or other benefit for you.
Netlify and Vercel are both great choices for static sites and have SSL support. I'm not sure what your current deployment is like now but I believe they both support drag-and-drop or connecting directly to a git repo.

If you want to play with a similar but different idea also check out Cloudflare workers.
If I could have one wish for HTTP, it would be to get rid of CORS. Not only is it an incomplete solution (only protects reads, not writes), it causes tons of difficult to debug errors. A half measure in security is often worse than no measure at all because the latter is more obvious and is a much squeakier wheel to fix.

The origin headed should be the only way to fix these issues which would force web frameworks and servers to check this header by default. Way simpler, authentication (authenticating the requestor site, not the end user) is done on the server not the client, errors can actually be handled since don't fail silently, and failures appear in server logs as well as the client.
Yup, that's exactly it. I've found that there are certain websites that I have basically no interest in seeing. Eventually I might incorporate more granularity to get sub-domains or something like that, but for now it's just whole websites based on URL.
I find change in wages and underemployment to be better indicators than unemployment.

> It's an infectious airborne disease. The more people that carriers are in close quarters with, the faster it spreads. Reducing the number of people the average person is in contact with, healthy, or otherwise, reduces it's rate spread. I am not sure why this is still controversial in 2021.

You're arguing with an imaginary friend. Nobody is making the points you are refuting.

The reason that lockdowns have so spectacularly failed isn't that there's some mystery about the nature of spread of respiratory pathogens; it's that lockdowns don't actually achieve any of the conditions that prevent spread except for people wealthy enough to have the means to isolate (and there's no reason to believe they'd refrain from isolating even in the absence of a state mandate).

Instead, lockdowns shift risk onto poor people ("essential workers") without regard to their level of risk. So, instead of a more acute spread occurring through the lower risk strata, we get a more acute spread occurring through the less affluent economic strata.

I don't have sufficient knowledge to concur with or refute your assertion that the sociological conditions of the high-risk stratum (ie, sharing public transit, etc) make the results of the dozens of seroprevalence surveys implausible. However, I do note that people who study these things for a living are saying that it is plausible.
Many of the retro takes on CRTs seem to over-emphasize the scanlines and (perhaps in pursuit of capturing the CRT "glow") also end up over-doing the background. On a properly adjusted CRT you shouldn't be able to see any scanlines at all in areas that are displaying pure black, unless you're viewing the display in an extremely dark room.

> I suspect that the number of compromised software companies are much larger than these 2 companies.

Given one of the CVEs is CVE-2021-26857, there has already been more that 26000 vulnerability submitted for an CVE ID this year so there are indeed countless other compromised systems - the two big hacks of recent are only in the news thanks to their large blast radius.
I imagine that Youtubers would be the winners in this new interviewing world, since they’ve spent so much time getting comfortable with their on-camera appearance.

Lost Access to my Windows 10 Machine after Update
Thursday night last week I left my windows 10 pc to run update, only to loose access to it, could not login with the same password.
8 bit BASICs were extremely tightly coded and packed a lot of functionality. They had working garbage collection for strings, with useful string processing built on it. Programs could be interrupted to safely return to the prompt, and errors which terminated the program informed the user of the line number, e.g. "illegal quantity error in 210". The internal, tokenized representation of programs could be interactively edited to update the program, which could be saved to disk. BASICS also had floating-point support, with functions like LOG, EXP, SIN, COS, TAN, ATAN, ... Also arrays, including multi-dimensional ones.

Sad, 10 years of nothing from intel but single digit uplifts and increasing power. I think apple sort of proves that there is plenty of single threaded perf uplift available with the right designs (aka one not designed for a server). Even AMD traditionally trailing is easily surpassing them now too, the AMD core that is easily matching or beating them isn't even close to the best desktop part they have (and rightfully so, a desktop with 8 cores... lets see phones with 8 cores have been a thing for how many years again?).

Couldn't happen to a nicer company, but for the health of the industry I hope they have something to keep up with the Arm hordes. What we need is a good decade of a 3+ way back and forth between an arm vendor or three and amd and intel to really push the industry again.

BTW: Just imagine what apple could do with a 300W power budget!

Playing a game of chance works the same way mentally as other games, you get enjoyment from them both. The addiction of gambling is a whole different discussion and I agree with you re: the addiction and becoming just addicted instead of playing or enjoyment but that doesn't change the fact they are still playing a game, even if a game of chance.

Just my opinion and all. Everyone thinks differently. :)

Computers are plenty fast already, without the bloat of "modern" software forcing you to upgrade... if we're going to go down that conspiracy rabbithole further, those hostile behaviours all align against the users.
