> When learning new material that doesn't solve any immediate problem

I find learning unrelated material sometimes give you additional perspective on later problems even if they're not immediately related. Same with having a small crack at languages you're not using - it can give you a new perspective on the languages you are.
Hi, Jan here from Aitme.
We are currently working on our robotic kitchen and have our prototype up and running in Berlin. You are right, there are many advantages for a concept like this.
We decided to use robotic arms for our product. They bring quite some flexibility and they are easily programmable.
Regarding the dispensers I can confirm that there is some complexity. Especially when you want to dispense different kinds of food without making tradeoffs with the quality and reliability.
Interesting perspective you bring in.
We‘ve been working 20 months on our product and are currently showcasing the prototype.
On our LinkedIn site „Aitme“ you will also find some videos.
Like to hear from you guys
Indeed there were stories on that previous thread of people being banned for 'hacking' when they've pointed out flaws to game developers
The code quality is one thing but its longevity doesn’t seem to me like a problem in itself.
D is really underappreciated.
The first few stories about getting the call & dental issues sound more like overfitting the data to a lesson, but once Dave starts talking about his actual experiences working, it became a fun read!
"You can't rely on the good faith of users; if your service is easily usable for crime, it will be used for it." - should be on every developer's login screen
Benefit/Risk ratio.
I like to understand this too, substance called ‘myelin. Is there some intake of food that can help? Just like my parents to be including anything in their diet that can help.
It seems to me that either you do this "return to nature" alone, or there's a community inexorably sliding toward being a cult. There's nothing in between and then sadly, relationship of our whole society to nature suffers from this.
> Looking more closely at the takedown notice, we see that it was sent by the “brand protection analyst” at Incopro, which is one of Adobe’s anti-piracy partners

There's a whole secondary and very interesting story to be told here about the nasty relationship that has formed between copyright holders and these firms specializing in takedowns that cling to them like barnacles on a whale.

It's obviously tempting to outsource a job like tracking down copyright violations which doesn't play in to any of your business's competencies, but it also seems quite likely that the companies who provide this "service" typically do so in a way that looks good on a paper report that a manager at the host company receives, but doesn't actually benefit them optimally for the money they spend on it.

Takedown companies seem to go after violations that will net them the fastest and most reliable takedown rates. They want to run up the score so that they can say "last month, we took down 5482 violations of your copyright in Adobe Reader" or what have you. This means, largely, going after posts and uploads on sites that have "quick service" DMCA takedowns like Twitter and YouTube. You're not investing time on random websites that may or may not even respond. No human intelligence is required (indeed, even desirable) in this process. It's effectively humans being paid the lowest possible wage to do an automated job. In some cases I suppose it's probably fully automated.
Artists report discovering their work is being stolen and sold as NFTs
Making money is always just one of many motivations for company founders, company operators and company employees. Reducing the purpose of a company to a single motivation is unhealthy for all involved.
Oh god there’s so much of that I’ve written over the years. It’s still in there now. Fortunately minification eats my shame publicly.

Think the worst one was we had some code that would add a pad in somewhere after the page was rendered that would cause IE6 to redraw the page correctly.
> What we need is some anti-trust litigation with teeth.

Indeed. We need big tech to divest some of their eye watering profits into actual user support. With so much depending on tech, kicking out users at a whimsical ML bit flip can be super damaging.
Not quite. You are able to extend VSCode using TS/JS for sure, but it is not even remotely customizable to the extent that emacs is.

There is definitely ample room for a hacker-centric text editor with a minimal core where every aspect of UI and behavior can be customizable through TS.

This is not really a criticism of VSCode. If you want to prevent the kind of cross-extension conflicts and unstability that has plagued emacs since forever, a restricted extension runtime is absolutely the best way to go. But there are certainly people who would want to *build* an editor uniquely tailored to their preferences out of low level blocks and deal with the complexity associated therein.

Atom was expected to fill that niche, but it's web based UI is too slow for most large projects.
Could be a compound effect - myopia plus this drug - not a good combination.

I have pretty severe myopia, and had laser treatment for tears in it earlier, so have to be very careful about these drugs I guess...

Non-FAANG/Leetcode money is very good too. Check out http://levels.fyi or AngelList and you'll probably find a few that have different recruiting methods.

If you have the grit to stick it out, you could consider working with legacy code too.
They say similar things about psilocybin and magic mushrooms, but some people still eat the mycelium to get the effects. I guess it's more economical to just grow mycelium.
In my experience, developers then still have to implement a lot of behaviour to deal with docker's limitations around networking. (in my case it was trying to connect multiple BEAMs in a docker network)
That’s more of an issue with the package manager that most likely deleted the actual executable underneath.
Firefox’s in-built auto-update doesn’t do so.
>Even then, there is no other ecosystem that has quite the volume of powerful tools and approaches that HTML/CSS/JS have.

GNU Artanis, forget Hurd, get Guix.
Also, on HTML/CSS/JS, they are still 20 years behind the Pascal IDE from Borland or Lazarus, and don't let me talk on NPM and dependencies.

On speed and features, QT5 slaps JS so hard that trying to get something as performant it's a ridiculous claiming.

And I use OpenBSD and CWM, but FFS, JS is a toy compared, to, for example, Lazarus IDE, QTCreator and their compilers/backends running fast as fuck software even on scrap computers.

And Turbo Pascal/Lazarus had RAD developing features since 20 years aso as I said. Something much faster and more native (totally native :p) than any JS toolkit is trying to do ever. Add a control? Drag and drop, edit the bindings.
Cross compiling? Lazarus does that even for damn Windows 95 from a Linux machine. And so on.
Debugging Docker? You are like a little baby.

Once you grow up, you can start debugging kubernetes, kustomize and helm. YAMLs on top of YAMLs rewriting other YAMLs.

You're talking about Windows though. This topic is about Linux. I don't pretend to specialise in automation on Windows like I do with Linux but what experiences I do have managing Windows instances have all been painful (regardless of whether they were a desktop or server) because the problems require a completely different mindset to solve and half the time those solutions are only semi-effective. So I do feel your pain there.

For what it's worth, I've had some success with Powershell for package management and domain management, and tools like Clonezilla / Norton Ghost for managing images on small to medium sized fleets of machines (again, both desktop and server). There are also a plethora tools that can interrogate what machines are on a given network, the software installed and their patch levels -- but most of them are not going to be free. However there definitely are alternative options to SCCM and WSUS if they're too "enterprisey" for your needs (I've used a few different ones but I'm afraid I can't recall the names of the more effective solutions in terms of ease of us and features vs license fee).

Is someone who only wants to write JavaScript really going to be coaxed to write kernel drivers in any language? Yes there is a dominant JS crowd, but I don’t really see why they should affect what developers in other areas choose.
US was the last to start using SMS and will apparently be the last to stop. The US was behind the curve because it was one of the few places in the world where local calls were free so people didn't bother with SMS for a long time. As for why it's still here, my guess is that the messaging space is extremely fractured here and it's the only text messaging someone is guaranteed to receive.

The type system is turing complete, and its implementation already supports this, since its required for correctness.

Agreed with the other commenter - your dosage recommendations are highly specific, but we don't know your context or what you're taking.

I'm in Australia and 5g of dried mushrooms does not leave you pleasantly couchlocked, as you say. On 5g, you will have a massive, epic trip.

I have taken shrooms three times. My biggest dose was 3.5g. This was a transformative experience with ego dissolution and a thorough, extended series of interactions with my sub-consciousness and all of its complexity.
Meh, no. Still trying to find justification.

Among other things, “the industry” isn’t a thing. The people you are punishing are entirely different ones from those that supposedly wronged you.

Then, there’s the whole rule-of-law thing. If you don’t like them, lobby for changes.

I was prescribed cipro after a rectal surgery (chronic anal fissure and hemorrhoids) in Feb 2020. By that time, I wasn't aware that cipro was actually a poison. Fortunately, I haven't experienced any such side effects so far, except occasional palpitations (likely due to loneliness, my increased anxiety because of the pandemic and staying indoors all the time).

you need to thoroughly sterilize both grabber and and phone and whatever else comes in contact with it.

that said, I'd pick it up and suggest people do the same, a phone is today an authentication factor to a lot of services, either directly trough 2fa apps or indirectly trough owner email access.
Writing about Writing
The rating is increasing so the positive ratio is far higher than 50/50. There was an extremely vocal minority who left lots of negative reviews after the switch, and yes many of them may now be gone. But clearly new users are happy with it.
I’d rather see them implement the European supergrid frankly. PV in the Sahara and high voltage lines up to Europe. Think that would be a win for everyone
>And... well, serves as an amusing reminder that tree recursion has its downsides. :D

OFC I would rewrite that as a iterative form (and any Schemer here could :D), but here we are testing performance :D.
The word "discover" is a bit of a stretch here, but I suspect they mean that the "discovery" was that the loss of myelin is a part of age-related cognitive decline as well as MS.

But MS is not the only disease is in which demyelination occurs, not by a long shot. Even the definition of MS (when it comes to getting a diagnosis) is a lot more complex than just "degeneration of myelin".
On the positive side, it's straightforward and is void of cleverness (yes I've been doing Go, can you tell?).

I mean if I were to change that option string generator, I could make a numeric for loop from 1 to 12, left-pad a zero for the value, and lookup the month label from a label array or create a Date object and use its formatting options to output the label. I loop over an array of objects with a value and label. With ES6 I could do that with a .map() operation.

It's inelegant but it does what it says on the tin. Can't have an off-by-one error if you don't use loops or indices.
Probably they not legally mandated to offer it and are not liable for hacked accounts.

A few years back a German/EU law required banks to introduce real 2fa for customer logins and payments. The deadline had to be extended several times and still some banks and merchants missed it.

"let professionals do their work"

Man, you need to do some reading on the drug war. The research has been banned for so long for all the wrong reasons. The professionals aren't allowed to just do their work.

Also, beating people over the head about "That's not how science works" is what Karl Popper called Scientism. It's actually an antiscientific position, despite best intents.
I like Rhonda Patrick, but a lot of her recommendations seem to be speculation on what should work, given what she understands about a subject and relating it to a new study. Not that it's not valuable, but it's the sort of thing Reddit would class as "science" rather than realising it is a hypothesis that needs testing.
1. Leetcode is not software engineering, its software interviewing. You can be exceptional in one and not the other

2. It is possible that there are people who "simply can't code". I don't personally think that's correct but it might be

3.You should never compare yourself to everyone (especially post doc unicorns who leet for fun). I don't think I'm an "exceptional" coder and I'm completely fine with it. I might get better in the future but where I am today already allows me to do my work competently and above although there are many many people above me

4. If something gives you grief and stress even after committing to it and trying to "break the barrier", you shouldn't do it. Mental health is more important then doing something specific as coding for a living

5. I couldn't understand if you did LT for 5 years and couldn't get a job or just couldn't finish LT. If you are working now and the only problem is getting stuck on some LT problems, I don't think LT should be a goal, only a tool.
Those recruiters most likely have "mastered the language" and are expressing themselves clearly, just in a different accent.

If someone interacts with Indian English speakers often enough that they develop a habit of avoiding Indians just in case they might call and speak with an accent they can't understand, it's probably time to do something about that, like getting more exposure in an environment where it's easier to understand (e.g. with subtitles)

In the case of recruiting, where there's no obligation to pay any attention to recruiters at all, it might not be much of an issue, but it's only a matter of time until you get an Indian colleague and avoiding them is no longer an option.
SO really isn't a great example, they have considerations most companies don't - Windows and SQL Server licensing. When shit like that is involved, scale out rarely seems like a better choice.

It's not only about the amount of users, it's also a matter of availability. Even the most stupid low-use barely-does-anything internal apps at my company get deployed either to two machines or a Nomad cluster for redundancy ( across two DCs). Design for failure and all that. Failure is unlikely, but it's trivial to setup at least active-passive redundancy just in case, it will make failures much easier.
I'm likely wrong as my only experience here is playing ksp, but I would think at no point in the ISS orbit would it be able to economically fire trash at an escape velocity, and I wonder if doing so would disrupt the ISS orbit. (depending on the weight of the trash)
Everything is a poison to some extent.

Antibiotics are poison to bacteria.

The difference here is that you're not a bacteria and can safely metabolize the drug itself.

Chocolate is poison to dogs. Not to humans.

One course of an antibiotic isn't going to rot your brain or nerves... and even then, chronic use isn't a problem but for a small percentage of people who do experience these adverse reactions.
https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp is a place where you can find some good content (unfortunately, not consistently).

I believe you are mistaken, the purpose of Bitcoin was very clear from the whitepaper title. It was to create "a Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System". Bitcoin Cash is the real, continued implementation of bitcoin, as it was designed in its whitepaper. BTC is simply an attempt (rather good one at that) by bad actors, to purposely hamper the protocol and then sell offchain solutions to solve those issues they introduced.
US mobile plans gave enormous buckets (thousands) of SMS messages a month to mobile users 10-15 years ago, so there was little incentive to move to other mobile messaging systems.

Conversely, the lack of such generous SMS allotments in most non-US countries drove widespread adoption of WhatsApp/Facebook Messenger/etc.
Just to give a bit more detail, those cerebrosides are Glycosphingolipids. They're galactose or glucose attached to a ceramide. So the major components of myelin are lipids/carbohydrate! (Don't know exact proportion of carbohydrate)
> Turned out the SDK we were using tried to update the progress bar every kilobyte or something like that, and our near-gigabyte sized packages filled the message loop with a bunch of pointless updates (30.001% -> 30.002% but both displayed as 30%).

Had a similar situation with an Electron app I worked on. App’s window was getting very stuttery at some point during a long-running operation done by a third-party library, even though it happened in a background worker thread and wasn’t supposed to block the UI (which simply showed the progress of the operation).

Turned out, that third-party library called my progress notifier function (in which I used Electron’s IPC to notify the GUI) on increments that were fairly spaced out most of the time, but really frequent during some operations. Mere overhead from IPC calls and GUI updates added up to a point where everything lagged, even though the operation itself wasn’t that intensive. I wrapped my progress notifier in a throttler, which I frankly should’ve done much earlier, and that solved it.
It could be better if the sender's SMTP server forced the use of TLS. Most emails are now sent encrypted but it isn't usually enforced.

If your control your own receiving server then it would be hard for someone to intercept the message.
Whoa. I "only" got very severe painful diarrhea twice from cipro (likely clostridia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciprofloxacin#Other). Since that I always preemptively say to doctor I reject it.

> That was the reason for scurvy in the past, limited diet of a ship, lack of vitamin C.

AIUI, it wasn't the limited diet, but the lack of fresh food. What I heard was that basically everything you eat has vitamin C in it (which is why our bodies forgot how to manufacture it on their own -- why bother making your own when it's already all around you?), but that it decays fairly rapidly. So it doesn't matter how diverse your food supply is, if it's all canned / salted / preserved, you're going to have problems.

I guess it depends on how "routine" OP's routine is. If they're eating just potatoes and bacon every meal, they're going to have problems. But if they have 2-3 forms of starch, 2-3 types of vegetables, and 2-3 forms of protein mixed together, I think they're probably doing about as well as most human beings have done throughout time.

That said, never hurts to take a good multivitamin. :-)
> A laptop 7 years old it is a miracle that laptop lasted that long.

It's not a miracle, it's why Apple hardware has high second hand value. Got a 2012 Macbook Pro here still doing great. As it should be.
From my experience what keeps a lot of people from learning or rather frustrates them, especially in tech, is the fact that the more you know (starting to get the big picture) you begin to realize how much stuff you actually don't understand or know about.

Do you need to know how Ethernet works for making a website? Probably not. Do you need to know how HTTP works? Most likely, at least if you start to fiddle with REST and APIs. Do you need to know how TCP works to understand HTTP? Well, some might argue. Do you need to know how IP or networking in general works? Well, if you want to configure your own web server you probably should know the basics. The rabbit hole goes on ... and most people just give up. Eventually someone will end up at epoll/select and will dive into native ASM of some high-perf Intel NICs while toying around with jQuery, you never know ... Yes, I exaggerated a bit, but you get the point.
High-density living requires high-density solutions, e.g. solar on the building roofs.
That’s sort of a brute force approach. And the Sahara is warm, but solar irradiation varies far less than temperatures.

It’s going to be a lie mix of many of these promising ideas, blended in such a way that is, hopefully, not too expensive, not too insecure, not dirty in a new way, and not not at least a little bit fun.
Stack Overflow have unique constraints ( Microsoft licensing) which make vertical scaling a cheaper option, and IMHO that's rarely the case.
