I recently ordered a SIO2SD device from a polish guy who designs peripherals for Atari 8 bit and such. It's not vintage but emulates Atari disks (ATR files) on an SD card. So you can download ATR files on a PC and then boot or load on the Atari. Can recommend.
Yeah that's fair, although the methods of production are much more accessible today. Arguably more accessible than traditional art materials, so I think he would be less hostile today.
Except its configuration language is awful. Nginx is pretty bad too, and then there's Caddy which seems the most tolerable so far. Usability matters quite a lot!
On average they always go up. However, with their upswing comes the occasional big downswings.

This is why having a good asset mix is important. You shouldn't have no stocks, because they have really good returns on average. But on the flip side, having only stocks is somewhat risky because it's impossible to tell if you are buying on the topside or bottom side of a bubble.
You do realize that mandating side-loading, and alternate OS support would come in the form of government regulation right?

As someone with no nostalgia for the PSX/N64, it's hard not to look back on that as an entire generation of ugly graphics. SNES pixel art has aged beautifully, Cloud's polygons have not.

That's not even counting the many, many games with wonky cameras. It feels like cameras were not widely figured out until the 360/PS3 generation.
This is fantastic.

Nothing too fancy (in astrophotography relative terms). A decent refractor and mono camera (such parameters have come down in price by 2-3 times, ASI2600MM is comparable) and most importantly, a solid pier/mount.

I’m 90% sure that this is just something WSB made up and isn’t actually evidence of manipulation. Seeing as you can look at the order books for almost all exchange traded stocks and see similar trading patterns. (Unless you believe that all stocks are being manipulated, which is a stretch.)

Many years ago, in Mozilla firefird time, they were citing more information in less space as a feature over the competition and how the interface gives more space to website content.

I've been playing with this one for a bit, and there's a strange "pause" in audio from a couple of the options. It's almost like the loop gets to the end, and then goes silent while the loop "rewinds". Obviously, that's not what is happening, but that is what it sounds like. It's too distinctive than the random lulls in large crowd noises that occur naturally.

Either way, both of these are fun. I've been on film shoots where we've had all of the cast and crew involved to record walla walla. It's a tough one to get right for long enough that it's not easily discernible as fake and so short you hear it looping. Adding music helps. All of that to say, these types of generators might make that a thing of the past.
I think that the idea that everyone can learn to code is an exaggeration, in the same way not everyone can learn arithmetic and algebra (that is, some people are literally incapable of learning it, others end up with such severe anxiety they become incapable of it though it's not a technical incapability). However, I do believe that anyone capable of learning arithmetic and algebra can learn programming, though perhaps only to a certain level. And that doesn't necessarily lead to a a career in programming.

Take VBA + Excel, for example. I've seen many non-programmers (by education or trade) pick it up to solve real problems within their offices. It's certainly not my tool of choice, but the level they pick it up to is basically the arithmetic/low-algebra level. They aren't making software for a living, but they are making software to support their living (that is, they're engineers or accountants or administrators who make something that solves a problem, but not software engineers/programmers in general). Their understanding is at the arithmetic/low-algebra level in that they can do it, but don't necessarily understand (fully) what they're doing (they know what variables are, and use them correctly, but maybe don't understand or even know about scoping rules).

The next level involves actually learning scoping rules and how to apply them. How to create new classes/modules and not just by rote imitation. How to "factor" your program into collections of procedures on data structures. This is the algebra level, this is the point where people can start actually becoming professional programmers (more reliably, you can become a professional at the previous level but you'll be constrained in what you can make by what you can understand).
> in my new company, where we do not have any process at all, just a common goal. Instead of standups, the team gathers for a coffee in the morning. If I want to spend 3 days learning a new framework that might do the product good, nobody cares. The only thing that counts is the endresult. That means we are beating the product into submission until its good, even if it means rewriting the thing three times and missing deadlines. So no more Scrum for me. Never.

I love this. Mind sharing the name of the company?

Networking IRL.

Most people think networking is trading business cards. Don't do this. It's pointless and doesn't work.

Talk to people. Talk to everyone. Be interested in what they say. Be interesting. The best way to be interesting is to do interesting things. You can do interesting things by being interested.

I met my mentor at the gym. We were talking about gym stuff and eventually he said something I recognized as technical. I followed up and kept asking _good_ questions. I respected their time but made it clear I valued their input.

We developed our relationship overtime and eventually formalized it. I asked him directly to help me and he was excited to help. We all love helping people. It feels good.

This is also how I got my first tech job (different people, same process).

Talk to people and be interested in them and their lives. Sometimes this will provide opportunities. Don't do it with the intention of creating a transaction.

If I _needed_ a tech mentor, I would hang out with tech people. Tech people hang out with other tech people. Go hang out there (this is obviously harder due to covid, but we're almost through it).

Gyms, gun ranges, music stores, libraries all attract these people.

Saying "Hi" is the hardest part.

It's against a defined endpoint. It's a reasonable one, as a vaccine that prevents severe disease is a lot better than no vaccine.

That people don't bother to understand what they read is a problem of course.
proof-of-work based blockchains are technically also an arms race between good and bad actors. It still works because extending the chain costs compute, so as long as the good actors have the majority of compute, all is well.

Training a GAN can be thought about as a proof-of-work type job, where you need to recover the best Generator from the SOTA Discriminator, or vice versa.

So the proof of work chain looks like D-G-D-G-D-G. As long as the good actors continue to dedicate more compute to tackling deepfakes than bad actors, I think it should help mitigate the issue.
Guess Tusky is free to use an app store whose values align with theirs.
NFTs solve the deepfake problem.
S3 Intelligent Tiering actually does help with this considerably though. They do try to shift your objects to the storage class that makes the most sense cost-wise based off of access patterns and don't charge anything additional for doing that.
Yes I'm curious how this works. I don't expect a dev to be productive for some time, maybe months. And for isolated, self-contained tasks, like those that make a good intern project, it takes time & effort for the dev team to set those up so someone can be successful at it.

Ha, I am surprised no one yet cried about "black hat" being bad hackers and "white hat" being noble ones. When is that change coming to DEF CON? Most surprising is how hypocritical this charade is and likely everyone understands it, but follows the proverbial "school of fish".
I think if you wanted to make an OS X app you could probably figure it out while someone who doesn't know how to program would not even know how to begin.
"Blessed" was the new convention the evangelical tyrants at my church "proposed" to use instead of "lucky".

They were totally cool about it, and I was left to my own free will to choose which word to use..... oh wait, no, they were aggressive and coercive, because that's what moralistic narcissists do. Shamers are gonna shame.

It's funny how few people who are actually substantive contributors are vocal about this. It's all these peripheral people with minimal accomplishments, just like at my church. The bus driver was the biggest moralistic enforcer I've ever seen.
For physical products in physical stores the cut can be higher than 50%. Online referrals can be up to 20%, without the actual distribution.
You might not need centralized continuous integration
See, I know that is true. I was unlucky enough to grow up behind the iron curtain. I know the situation directly from the choices faced by my parents and their friends and after its fall I watched the best of my teachers slowly but surely emigrate to Canada or the Western Europe.

You can't really understand how it was unless you lived it. First of all, patriotism ceased to exist, except for propaganda. Struggle and fear - abject fear - replaced patriotism as the driving emotion. We ended up hating our country - we're still trying to re-learn how to love it 30 years later.

The ones in elevated status were collaborating with the authorities and the secret police. They ratted out on their friends and family. Everybody hated and feared them because of that.

The freedom was, of course, gone, and we got used to that. Freedom is just not that important when you're hungry. But the feeling that best described our state of mind then was: hopelessness. We did not, could not hope for a better future, for better times for us or our children. We could not see any escape, any chance at change. Because as individuals, there was nothing we could do. We were completely robbed of our agency, of our power, of our rights. The past, present and future was a single color: gray.

People who somehow went to the West came back changed. They just could not believe one could live with so much freedom, choices and wealth. Their stories inspired others. I was maybe 12 and I remember clearly dreaming up ways of running out of the country, to my father's absolute horror. I would cry rivers if my own children would have to go to through that.

There's a link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_killings_under_communist_... in the See also section of Communism article...

EDIT: I see it's probably the same link you saw in Related topics, so it's mentioned twice on the page. Should it be mentioned in the text of the article? I don't know. There's similarly no mention of crussades on the Christianity page.
Stability. I don't have to chase the "next shinny thingamajig". For example, I have a code that uses OSS that worked 20 years ago on FreeBSD, and it still works now.

Prevention of severe disease is a perfectly reasonable standard to use to evaluate a vaccine.

> "Yes, they are obviously doing the work for other reasons."

Yes, and that disproves your claim that people only work for money, and without more money people won't do more work.

> "You aren’t getting it. Those people still work because they can earn more than what the unemployment is." If all of a sudden you said even if you work, you’ll only earn the unemployment benefit, then nobody would work.*"

Volunteers earn no extra money for their work, and yet still work. Many people work unpaid overtime out of loyalty for their employer / coworkers / customers / patients, many people work out of passion and interest and hobbying ("starving artist" trope).

And, again, you're propagandising "Socialism" changing from "people get money without working" to "people can't get more than a fixed limited return on their work", which again it isn't. But let's go with that definition - if everything collectively owned, the more stuff there is the more stuff is collectively owned, so the more benefit everyone gets. When the Federal Government builds more roads, you personally get more roads you can drive on as a benefit. So even if Socialism was "you can't earn more than the minimum wage {because the collective takes it from you!}", you are part of the collective, so it still wouldn't be the case that people got no more benefit for producing more, as you claim.
This is a great idea. I personally over-optimize my travel planning. Being able to reference peer recommendations with tags would be a significant improvement over travel sites and Google searches.

It depends. Some systems work, some don't. Some systems work for some people, some work for others.

I personally changed a lot with the help of the practice I do. I've faced my phobias, solved a lot of self-confidence issues, found out what's wrong with me. I've also got therapy before starting Zen. While it helped me somehow, it failed to solve the underlying issue. Zen helped me to tackle the underlying issue and move forward.

To work with a good master, you don't need to always go to a monastery and, change your life temporarily. I left nothing behind. Still live in the city. Just go to see my master from time to time. Will continue when the pandemic ends.

I had an instructor in the city, who's also a student of the same master, but he passed away due to COVID-19.

Every tradition and way contains elements from each other, but these ways find the compatible combinations and way to build upon them. Also a master/student relationship helps to guide the student in the harder times. Internet doesn't provide the guidance and safeguards, unfortunately.

As an instructor, I keep track of my every student independently. Otherwise, there's no meaning doing what I do. They also call me when things go awry and we work through it together, and we both learn in the process.

Zen, Buddhism or anything is not the only way. There are many ways to do it.
In my experience, this often reveals how little has been tried.
I really honestly dont mind context switching all that much. It makes me less productive or course, but it does not make me angry or annoyed.

There are plenty of meetings I honestly dont mind at all. Some I do mind, but it is more about how those meetings are moderated then hating on meetings in general.
Where are the other 700 comments?
Would have is different than could have.

There’s lots of things in life I don’t care to learn, but it doesn’t mean I couldn’t. To be perfectly frank, programming is one of the easier things in life I’ve learned, and it’s usually only difficult for the wrong reasons like poor documentation, bugs in other people’s code, people, etc.
Very interesting article, well worth the read.
Another postive note here for Mikrotik - $50 USD buys you the hAP ac lite - enough for a "home" router but with all the features of top end enterprise routers.

Other comments have addressed security concerns - there's lots of CVE's out there because there's lots of Mikrotiks out there. As far as I'm aware, all or nearly all CVE's are patched before they are public; there's always the risk of zerodays but everything has the risk of zerodays.
One on one meetings are not "creepy" - they are a chance to have an open conversation about your goals; your concerns; and anything else that needs to be discussed about your career, the organization, etc.

Do you know what the sales people in your organization do? What about the legal department? Procurement? HR? Your lack of knowledge is not evidence.

"lol, do some coding instead"? And what should I code? How do you know what _you_ should be coding? Where does that work come from? Who makes sure that you're writing quality code and not some shit spaghetti mess? When the lawyers come knocking who answers the questions about security and compliance? You're just going to write some code for that?

Your myopic complaints do nothing to further your own goals - rather than make baseless accusations, look into the problems yourself and try to solve them. You might get some career growth out of it. At the very least you'll understand that not all problems can be solved with code.
That was with a large injection of money though. Maybe they will do the same thing next time, maybe not. Maybe it will have the same effect, maybe not. No one really knows.
The article you just linked is an advertisement for something called Okey Monitor and is not the original source for this event.

The actual source is a Vice article, the author of which contracted a hacker to actually run an op on them as part of the investigation. However, submitting that directly would have simply attracted a bunch of really great political commentary instead of a discussion on SMS.
The book or the movie? Because the book was very well researched, and the film was a very accurate summation of the book.
How is affirmative action a bad thing?
The Antifa flag bears obvious similarity to the Antifaschistische Aktion flag.

"Antifaschistische Aktion...was a militant anti-fascist organisation in the Weimar Republic started by members of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) that existed from 1932 to 1933." [1]

"In the United States, antifa of the early 21st-century has drawn its aesthetics and some of its tactics from Antifaschistische Aktion." [1]

The link between Antifaschistische Aktion and Antifa was drawn within a detailed article [2] published in Jacobin, who is "a leading voice of the American left, offering socialist perspectives on politics, economics, and culture" [3].

Given that "insurgent" is defined as "a person who revolts against civil authority or an established government" [4], and CHAZ/CHOP were revolts against civil authority, Antifa is clearly a left-wing insurgency.

There are also a massive number of "Todo" apps on the Apple app store. Searching for numbers online seems to indicate that there are about 50% more apps total on the Google play store than the Apple app store, but for the more common use cases that still means massive numbers of choices on each store, both free and paid.
What is the scammy part? That’s what I don’t get about the (pretty angry/sarcastic) comments being made. The technology is there, the math checks out. You can argue the range is not useful, but for my particular case even 10km/day would satisfy my needs through most of the year.

It would be very disingenuous to credit the French with being a very tolerant society. They are many other things, but tolerant is not one of them.
The biggest genocide in human history was against people of the Jewish community, yet we are still using words such as:

- boot "camp"

- Let's go "camp"ing

- you need to "concentrate" more

- lots of other words which remind of concentration camps and other cruel crimes against humanity

When will we eradicate those words from our every day language?

Heck we even use the word "work" when we know too well that Nazis used the slogan "Arbeit macht frei" (Work makes free) at the top of Auschwitz.

What does it say about Microsoft that they are still labelling the employees as "workers" and asking them to do some "work".

Maybe Microsoft should rethink the words they use and how they are harmful and contribute to genocide.
Actually the bond market is larger than the stock market and the bond market can impact stock prices -- sometimes an unexpected spike in interest rates i.e. a bond market sell-off can drive the stock market lower (literally happening in real-time as we speak).
