> Can a general practitioner call himself a generalist?

A generalist practitioner in the case of a Doctor isn't really a specialist. You need additional schooling to specialize. So a specialist technically knows more than a "general practitioner" for doctors. For this context, a generalist refers to someone who specialized in more fields than one. So a brain surgeon and a cancer specialist would be more general than someone who only does brain surgery.

>How many subfields does a mechanical engineer need to be competent in before they can be labeled a generalist?

Don't know. It's not formally defined. But it has got to be more than one.

>What about lawyers?

Same as above, I guess.

I would assume that most people developing on macOS have configured case sensitive filesystems. And does Windows do symlinks now?

Seems like a weird edge case to me. I guess Apple and Microsoft should push out OS updates to cover it.
If I was Neal, I would not consider this a nitpick
I'll show you. Here's an example of an Autocode "integration," or something in our standard library. It's a Halo API I added for fun. You can use the gamertag "citizen kwho" to find me.

https://autocode.com/lib/halo/mcc/

As you can see from the code examples, you just talk to it via an API key and a standard calling convention. It's completely portable. Autocode makes it easier to manage your tokens, code, etc. but you could port this to any Node.js codebase or make an HTTP request from anywhere. We have universal Ruby and Python libraries, too, but they're a little outdated. (Small team, have had to stay focused on Node.js for now.)

Edit: I'll mention that technically anybody can add to our stdlib. We do a lot of the work ourselves right now, but it's fundamentally an open platform. Also see other comment re: FunctionScript specification and how we add APIs to the stdlib. :)

You went right over the main point - there was nothing “innovative” in risking a launch under bad weather. The exact same launch would happen later. Any rationalization of “somebody has to take the risks the wimpy engineers won’t” is pure bad manager romanticizing.
But git is largely used by programmers.
I most often remember seeing this invoked over email address, where email is intrinsic to the site’s functionality.
I was responding to a comment about a hypothetical, not this particular case. The hypothetical was a company with $4b in debt selling $5b in stock to remain operating. This is not only fine, it is common, especially for private companies where investors are betting on the future success of a company.

Even in bankruptcy, it is not uncommon for investors or banks to give the company bridge loans which the lenders knows full well might be lost if the restructuring doesn't work.

As for this case, it is not robbing shareholders. Chapter 11 is in not an automatic wipe out for shareholders, in fact you'll see other comments here about proposals for alternate plans for Hertz that would not wipe out shareholders. This is, if not common, certainly not unheard of: Restructuring a public corp and keeping it public post chapter 11 means it will still have stock on the market, and in some cases prior shareholders are able to exchanged their old shares for new ones.

It is also not robbing because even retail investors know full well what "bankruptcy" means and no reasonable person would buy this stock without realizing the significant risk for total loss. And in any case, how would Hertz selling stock, knowing the likely risk for a complete loss, be any different than some other institutional investor selling their stock, also knowing the buyer has an excellent chance for a complete loss?
End-to-end between the cloud provider and the cameras at the site, sure. But it's stored unencrypted, mostly because cloud providers provide the web interfaces and such to stream the video, provide services to analyze and classify the video, etc.

Arm can be seen as a direct product of the UK's Computer Literacy Project, and slightly less directly the broad base of games developers in the UK could be considered another output.

I clicked on an example site (https://singlel.ink/u/gloomytoons) and opened up my network inspector:

All of that just to render a simple"micro site" that displays a little text and 6 links.
And each message could have a subject. Then the main window would just show the subjects, and you could look at the full text of only the ones that interest you.

Oh, right. That's email.
I do not agree.

For example, EnergyAustralia just announced that they're pulling forward the retirement of Yallourn coal powered station by four years [1], and building a 350MW utility scale energy system to absorb and discharge renewable power to offset the coal plant being retired:

"Under the agreement, EnergyAustralia will retire Yallourn in mid-2028 and build new storage capacity through a 350 MW, four-hour, utility-scale battery project that will be completed by 2026. This ensures energy storage is built to firm increased renewable energy in Victoria, before Yallourn exits the system.

EnergyAustralia’s goal is to be carbon neutral by 2050. Yallourn’s retirement will reduce the company’s emissions profile by 60 per cent, accelerating the pathway towards achieving this ambition."

As we speak (mid day local Victoria time), renewables are providing 48% of total electrical demand in Victoria [2].

I absolutely agree. The thing that concerns me is these cameras sitting on the internet. It says something about how overworked the security team is. I trust that they have good faith, but I don't know if they have the resources they need.
Their prepaid plan is only $25/mo w/ 8gb lte when prepaid the year in advance. That's wayyy cheaper than any of the other big players, and their network/coverage is supposed to be better than t-mobile (and almost as good as verizon).
You can't colonize your own country.

The Bible clearly states and it is not disputed that Israel is a Jewish country for over 3000 years.

Visit Jerusalem, go to the Temple Mount in the Old City and at the base you can see the ruins of the 2nd Temple destroyed by the Romans 2000 years ago.

North and South American and Australia are colonized, but Jews of Israel simply resettled their land that they were kicked out of 2000 years ago by the Romans.

So, if you wish to complain about colonization, please use the term correctly and reference North and South America and Australia as colonized.
Finding unprotected streams via Google Dorking like this is easy. Here's an article that doesn't cover this particular use case, but rather the broader practice:

I've personally dabbled with it a bit in the past, and while I didn't find anything particularly interesting, it did make me a bit more cautious about enabling anyone with a link to access a Google Doc. With a good enough scraper or even just a lot of patience, there are a lot (potentially sensitive) data out there for people to harvest. That's not to say there aren't a number of benefits to having access to advanced search tools though, just that individual mindfulness when making something completely open for anyone to access is all the more important.
if your car kills your kid, eg the airbag misfired, or the lane assist went into oncoming traffic, then the car vendor will look for any opportunity to evade and refute responsibility. including claims of self tampering with the car. now in the burnt wreck, forensics need to show beyond doubt that it was, indeed, the car vendors shipment that killed the kid. how do you show as DA, that indeed the software was untampered with?

ps: airbags not working is less of a software problem than airbags misfiring.

I participated in the Kickstarter last year, along with a gazillion other people, and am waiting patiently for my Flipper Zero pet.

They asked the Kickstarter funders a month or so ago for their CC numbers for shipping cost, as well as shipping address, color preference, and any additional accessory&unit orders. But I don't know how soon the main production run will happen.

(I did find that a little funny: the idea of a bunch of customers of a "hacking" gadget, earnestly sending their credit card numbers and home addresses to a group of other hackers. :)

The HRC does condem those, you're just trying to cherry pick a naive statistic as some sort of slam dunk proof while deflecting from the banal reason that Israel gets criticized a lot because it keeps doing terrible things. It's possible to have informed views on this stuff without the jingoistic nonsense.

When your externalities are global I don't think people really care quite so much about what happens to the locals.

Cesium ends up substituting for potassium, which means you ingest it and then have to worry about alpha decay.

What are the differences and advantages over Sci-Hub?
So little nuclear has come online since 2010 partly because of fear-mongering from activists and people for the last 20 years complaining that Nuclear takes too long to build.

If only 20 years ago people realized all our climate and energy problems wouldn't be solved and we should build the safest, cleanest and only technology to prevent climate change caused by energy production...
Again, it's just not true that existing nuclear is extremely cheap. States in the US have recently had to bailout nuclear plant operators because they are struggling to compete against solar, wind, and cheap natural gas (see Illinois and Ohio as examples). These plants were built 30+ years ago, but still struggle to operate profitably today! In the past 10 years, something like 20 plants have been decommissioned for cost reasons.

Now I totally agree that we should keep existing plants running for as long as possible for climate reasons. I am fine with subsidizing them to a certain extent because they produce carbon free power. But even the existing plants are expensive to run and you should acknowledge that instead of saying otherwise...
CDC researchers: CDC misinterpreted our research on opening schools
I'd suggest a logarithmic playback. With the right choice of base you could probably strike the right balance between matching the playback speed without having to wait a linear fraction of twenty minutes when there's a pause in the flow. (With a bit of animation work you might even be able to express how much time is going by.)
Covered this below in a comment, but figured I'd add it again - unfortunately, you're right (for now).

We've been adding features in left and right on demand and just haven't had time to optimize profile delivery yet since it hasn't been in high-demand, but that's next on our roadmap.

We're about to add in our one-click export to static, which will cut out all the existing Javascript on the page and optimize all assets before delivery, and then trigger re-builds on every change to your site. This will cut out the bloat you're seeing now.

TLDR: You're right, it's unnecessary. But we're actively fixing this! :)
shouldn't your list start from 0?
Or do the weird compensation scheme, but just correctly report that you're giving the employees more compensation.

It's not the extra compensation that's illegal, it's the lying to shareholders/IRS that's illegal.
> And if it never takes off, that's fine too because you didn't spend a ton of time investing in making it work.

But if it “takes off” while you are caught with your pants down and you have no clue, you are stuffed with a friggin $60k bill and potentially have to remortgage your house.
No, they also work for money and would snitch on friends to make money. It’s not like other secret services don’t have similar patterns but they’re unequivocally bad. What comes to mind is Saudi Arabia dissidents info sold for money, iphone security broken, lives destroyed or severed completely and solely for money.
This will backfire as more and more friends turn away and become suspcious of what Israel allows to happen
The other than that may be happening is bots building legitimacy.

Like if you want to boost your product with 1,000 fake reviews then you need 1,000 accounts that don't look like bots. Meaning they need to do a lot of different activities so they have a behavior pattern that looks like a real person. Which would include posting other fake reviews.

Of course in Amazon's case they could just require accounts to have purchased the item in question on Amazon to review it. But they must prefer more reviews to making it harder to manipulate reviews using bots.
that's what socialism is (well, if they're govt controlled or effectively govt controlled). real capitalism encourages competition, and real entrepreneurs try to discourage it and gain an effective monopoly. that tension is part of the beauty of the whole thing, but when govt approves these mergers with government granted monopolies (i.e., the wireless spectrum), then it all goes to pot very fast.
> I think the reason chat applications like Discord or Slack, are usually a clusterfuck, is because the people using them are not used to have an organized conversation.

But those same people deal just fine in a group of 20 friends at a bar, where they naturally break out into several distinct conversations with the people close by, and move to be closer to other people if they want to bet part of a different conversation. Discord/Slack/et al. force everybody to be "that guy" who shouts across half a dozen people to join in a conversation at the other end of the table.

There have been a few projects I've seen where people are trying to do video chat in virtual 3d spaces with sound localisation based on your avatars proximity to other users, which I think is an interesting approach, but I don't have any ideas about how to make that "localisation" thing work in a text chat context, apart from the not very useful "exploding number of slack channels" solution...

In a chunk of my friend groups - "ephemeral Signal chats with disappearing messages set to 1 hour or 1 day" gets used fairly successfully, where a side conversation can be taken out of the "main group chat" with the intention of it _not_ becoming an ongoing new group chat. It's still way more friction than turning round on a bar still and joining the conversation on the other side though...

How does that solve the problem if there is enough primary residence demand to push up prices to unaffordable levels?

I mean, NZ is crazy unaffordable and foreigners can’t own real estate there from what I gather. It’s purely organic demand driving up prices.
Jokes are usually supposed to be funny.

Your response is at best antipathetic; support technicians aren’t going to go out of their way to help you.

Was your goal to rant or solve your problem? If it was the latter then you may want to use a different approach in the future.
Yup, exactly, it was indeed 409a penalties and options/deferred income.

Also right, if it's straight-up realtime income, and you declare the full arms-length exchange / full & fair market value (minus whatever you paid or have as basis), and pay tax on that, you're probably ok (but IANAL, this is not legal advice).
This is a pretty common practice throughout the US. Some big chain retail stores will even fire employees if they try to confront a suspected thief.

It's generally cheaper to call the cops and file an insurance claim than it is to deal with worker's comp or lawsuits if something goes sideways.

Once they have drones with weapons then even gun rights like the second amendment won't help. I feel people like Stalin or Hitler were born just a little too early. Today's tech would make their job much easier.
Of course you can't argue with the substance of my point. All it goes to show is how willing you are to write off half a million dead Americans for continued profits and power. Power to do what, exactly?

It's not just the communist countries like Vietnam and Cuba, even capitalist countries with newly minted leftist leadership like South Korea, have weathered this crisis with orders of magnitude less loss.

The systems for rending economic value from the value of human life are deeply entrenched here. Always have been[1]. That we can divorce the success of firms from the success of the people providing the value on the ground doing the work is a testament to it.

It doesn't make us awesome, it makes us abhorrent. The people that you claim "soar" are not randomly distributed, they are frequently born into favorable economic situations that allow them to develop the talents that make them super rich. In our lifetimes those islands of stability have degraded entirely in the service of ensuring the super rich can get even richer.

Yeah, a lot of companies that enter bankruptcy end up with wiped shareholders and new owners in the shape of it's creditors. It's not really news.

Then if some idiots think it's not the case, and there is value, let them bet if they so want, they obviously know better than Hertz. Hertz only decided to issue shares when their share price went over the roof, driven by those same speculators.

As long as things are correctly disclosed ("our stock is worthless, but buy it if you want"), caveat emptor.

That is a very interesting article. For how they aim to run existing software by binary translations to an ISA optimized for such binary translations. And how much they dread possibly being cut off from foreign foundries and ARM and x86 chips.

I'd have to see hard data, not anecdotes. My daughter is a wild child, actively flouts damn near every rule I create, refuses to follow instructions, and has a lot of trouble in school because she thinks it's stupid.

My son is far more compliant. Like night & day different from his sister. And they've been like this since they were old enough to start showing real personality.
They were discoverable, though. It boiled down to "swipe up from the bottom to go home, swipe down from the top for settings", and at first start-up it forced you to perform these two actions before setting you free.

Swipe left to go back worked anywhere (you didn't have to start from the edge of the screen) and dynamically showed the page being pulled off the stack, so it was super discoverable. All of the swipe gestures worked this way—"peek" was core to the interaction model because it made users feel in control, and let them cancel an action by just dragging back to where they started.

The two-finger swipe from top was only to bring the system quick settings while in an app (the two-finger gesture was also only added late in the OS's life, at the behest of power users); the quick settings were available on the home screen with a single swipe. While in an app, a single swipe brings up the app's settings.

The only non-discoverable gesture was swiping the corner of the keyboard to dismiss it, and it was also totally useless. The advertised way to dismiss the keyboard was by long-pressing the space bar (there was an icon showing this).
Kuhn spent a great deal of time talking about the behavior of (usually older), establishment scientists clinging to outdated science, which is part of the problem here.
