It's the responsibility of both the OP's *and* the recruiters.

We've societally conditioned ourselves through media that persons with certain accents - cough a very specific kind of British accent cough, are more "sophisticated", and a very specific kind of Southern USA accent as "unsophisticated"; even though logically, the manner in which a person speaks should neither validate nor invalidate the substance of what is being spoken.

But implicit bias affects us all and so we have voicism.

If we really want to break down voicism monetarily, it's a suboptimal way to work.

It makes it more likely that you might reject a good idea because the person who expressed it didn't have the dialect/accent with which you're most familiar.
Likewise it makes it more likely you might let a less-than-good idea or a straight-up bad idea get through your filter, because it's been expressed in an accent/dialect you've come to associate with "pleasurable".

The OP is self-aware enough to know that this bias exists within them. This is already better than those who might reject any notions of such biases at play.
The OP could, for example, to remediate this bias, watch YouTube videos where English is spoken by those from that given region. Whatever this "region" might be.
This would help reduce the cognitive burden of parsing accents during any future interactions. So that your brain would be less focussed on the peculiarities of the accent and more focussed on *what* they're actually saying.
It would make establishing rapport easier. It's just a better way to work.
But like with most things though, practice makes perfect.

Also personally I find it fascinating to listen to people speak the same language differently. So it's a fun cognitive exercise to train your mind to ignore the accent and listen to what they're saying.

On to the recruiters-side now.

Sometimes it's not just unfamiliar accents/dialects, for which they're not at fault whatsoever. Sometimes it's straight-up poor sentencing structure and grammatical errors. And that is obviously not the OP's fault. And is definitely the recruiters' fault. The recruiters stand to gain a lot from being able to express themselves more clearly.

But language skill is a much more fundamental problem to address, that's endemic to the educational system and curriculum of that area. There's very little the OP could do, or any one person could do, to remedy that.

To summarize, the barrier to de-biasing the OP is, at this moment, much lower than the barrier to fixing deficits in language skills of an entire people in any given region.

Obviously things will need fixing from both sides, but let's try to fix what's relatively easy to fix first I guess.
> What is hard is that running multiple apps, you run into issues with dependencies.

That's exactly the point they were making in this article. Also even with 1 server and 1 app people still use Docker because the pain of setting up a Linux machine with all of the dependencies for your average Linux software is so great, and Docker simplifies that.

The single static binary is such a great feature of Go. I wish more languages would copy it.
This misses the point.

Europe and the N.America are 34% of the entire electricity consumption. Even If they miraculously reduced their carbon pollution to zero not only would 2/3 of the problem remain, but - and here is the kicker - the growth in consumption is coming from the poor and poorest countries with enormous populations.

They are going to use the cheapest energy available: brown coal.

Its not a simple simple cost argument: we have to find a scalable, safe, clean, base-load source of energy that is cheaper than coal.

And then give it away.

The only possibility is nuclear fission - preferably not one that boils water in a pressure cooker.
Thanks for the data, I think that makes my comment moot :)
C++ has way to many failure modes regarding linking and generally consuming libraries (ABI issues, build system agnosticity). Conan addresses those compatibility issues in a holistic way through package ids, which are basically hashes over anything relevant.
For some (not that rare) areas, make that:

- bus: a few times a week (if at all), because of cost efficiency

- taxi: hours, + only if you book at least a day in advance, because they’re just not sitting there waiting for a call, they’re busy towards where people are/go, which is, like, the other way.

Throw in no/unstable/limited power grid, and you double down on one of the use cases.
Not really related to the debate but I highly recommend Watchtower [1] when using Docker in production.

This library, that you can plug as a service in any docker-compose, will check your Docker registry to see if the images used by your containers has been updated, pull the new images and restart your containers if needed.

That makes deployment, for some cases, really nice.

I mean, it’s a $1400 iPhone that’s some level of water resistant so it’ll work fine when I get it out. (Like, I watch YouTube videos in the shower and occasionally wash it under a tap with soap.)

But I’ll never forget.
One of the funniest and clearest explanation I've ever seen! That's a must-see talk for all JS developers! Congrats Anjana and Natalia! :)
The expression is "the last nail in the coffin"

There are projects of cheaper nuclear power plants, which I agree is the main issue. You have to put 10, 15 years into building this massive thing instead of doing modular, smaller projects.
It takes a minimal understanding of JavaScript to use prototype. Here there is few methods figthing with and mangling the DOM and strings.

Index controller's individual finger tracking isn't good enough for it to be a critical game function. If I try to fold in just my middle finger (ie, to make "The shocker" gesture), it often detects my ring finger being slightly in as well.

Gestures in general just might not work well, especially using the same gesture over and over. Have you played WoW? If you're a caster, you're casting a spell every 1-3 seconds, and targeting as a healer might not work well, not to mention seeing all the health bars.

Also, I don't know how it would work for melee abilities at all.

Sure, you could do an RPG with gestures and the like for spell casting, and make melee combat interesting, but it wouldn't be WoW.

The problem is the UI. Graphical UIs in VR are very limited since motion controls are not nearly as precise as a mouse, so buttons have to be big. Cities: Skylines would certainly look cool in VR, but the actual gameplay would suffer.

I thought exactly the same. As a long term front end developer from the "CSS Zen Garden" school of web design circa ~2000, I've always felt these new kids on the block should just stop inventing convoluted workarounds for just _learning fucking CSS_. I've always felt those kids all came through boot-camp coding schools that taught CSS as an afterthought, and mistakenly see its best features as problems that need disabling. I thought Tailwind looked like the very worst such offender. Tried it (in earnest on a real project) after reading so many smart people saying "honestly, it sounds insane but you just have to try it (in earnest, on a real project)". I now love it. It turns out it is spiritually very close to writing normal CSS – in fact I'd say you really have to know CSS to use Tailwind; you are just writing CSS with it and you have to be hyper-aware of its output. Oh and you do still sometimes write the odd bit of plain CSS for ultra-specific situations – Tailwind is absolutely fine and compatible with that, which you can't say for other modern styling tools. I'd say it's more a complement than an alternative to writing real CSS. It leans into and exploits the special features of CSS (cascading, inheritance etc) instead of trying to 'disable' such things. It's truly a great tool, a once-in-a-decade, outside-the-box brainfuck that I never saw coming. It's not the end-all solution for all kinds of modern front end styling, but I see it as an extremely valuable addition to my toolkit. The name "Tailwind" really is apt, it unlocks a strangely powerful creative impulse that lets you just fart out well-constructed, efficient UI like it's nothing. Takes a little while to get into it (you have to take the time to set up your editor for autocompletion and documentation etc) but after that, it's just so nice to use. One other thing to note is it's not necessarily a 'forever' decision in a given project or component: I some I use it when sketching out new components, and then convert it to regular CSS-and-classnames or whatever once the component is stable and done-ish, depending on the use case or project requirements. It's just a tool, but a very good one.
Without contesting your moral stance: what makes you think this man didn't contribute more than he took over the course of his life?

He moved to nature at the age of 53 and stayed there until right before he died. If anything by not consuming housing and healthcare he 'took' less than his peers of the same age.
If you're that concerned, go to a doctor and do a blood test to see what's up.

Perhaps that suggests the approach you sometimes here from medics (particularly for surgery) of "see one, do one, teach one" isn't quite as alarming as it initially sounds!
Increasing omega3 was a major one for me, definitely decreased chronic inflammation. The problem occurs if one's omega6:omega3 ratio is off, and most westerner's diets are very high in predominantly omega6 fatty acids[0] (such as olive oil, and most other oils). Though if you choose to supplement omega3, make sure it is controlled for mercury-contaminants.

With fat-soluble vitamins such as Vitamin D, be vary of vitamin toxicity (Hypervitaminosis[1]), as they accumulate in the body. But you'd probably have to take a huge amount over a long time to get there.

Another interesting supplement might be L-Carnitine[2], especially if you eat little/no meat.

Wow, thank you for this, I had no idea. What a mess made by this acquisition, reusing the name of a deprecated product isn't really a great idea. Though I'm glad to know there are ways to go back to a CoreOS-like experience, that has been my favorite server setup for a while.

Your psychosis has most probably nothing to do with neurotoxicity of magic mushrooms, unless you took the 'other' mushrooms which are poisonous like Amanita muscaria. Also you didn't mention which substance(s) you drugged yourself to get there, how pure and strong they were (something legality helps greatly with).

Overall, all pros and cons taken, there is no contest - legalization is the only correct thing to, especially given how past war on drugs panned out. Nobody advocates its the miracle cure, nobody says you should overdose on them 7x a week, or that you should even take them for that matter. Just like nobody advocates to drink themselves to death just because as an adult you can go and buy 10 liters of vodka or absinthe at once.

There is no protection against stupidity, just a hope for cure in form of education and knowledge.
> but it had to serve from a database that cannot be smaller than 150GB. SQLite failed. Even Postgres by itself was very hard!

The PostgreSQL database for a CMS project I work on weighs about 250GB (all assets are binary in the database), and we have no problem at all serving a boatload of requests (with the replicated database and the serving CMS running on each live server, with 8GB of RAM).

To me, it smells like you've lacked some indices or ran on a rpi?
I will concede one thing, GME was an outrage driven investment. Because there was a story about "evil" short sellers doing "evil" things everyone was collectively mad at them and social media networks spread this all over the place, even Youtube.
Yes, there is a big difference between how complex something can theoretically be, and how complex the typical use case is.

There are two main drawbacks to accidental Turing-completeness:

- You can no longer statically analyze the system for properties like termination, because you can't solve the halting problem (at least not without extra bounds).

- Some people will try to abuse turing-completeness to solve their problem, leading to a jumbled mess. If this becomes an accepted way of using your system, it has basically failed.
As a perpetual license holder that got royally effed over by Adobe, I can proudly say Adobe will never see any money from me anymore.
For almost everything Adobe makes, there are other applications that are equally capable or sometimes miles ahead.
Photoshop for example seems to be stuck in the 2000s, everything about it is dated, it's slow (due to a massive code base with a lot of legacy baggage) and missing many features artists can take for granted in modern graphics applications.
They add fancy AI-powered features all the time while completely ignoring the basic productivity features which wouldn't even be hard to implement.
I recently got ear drops for a somewhat mild issue I had. The issue didn't go away, but after your comment I remember occasional "pins and needles" in my leg - just looked it up and those drops contain Ciprofloxacin!

Though it seems a bit unusual that drops in one of my ears would first cause symptoms in a leg. OTOH, that would be a curious coincidence... Luckily the pins and needles were only mild and transient, so if there was a causation I hope it was only temporary.
I don't get it. Are we going to use 20 year old computers in the future? Is Netscape 2.0 the only browser we will only have?

Even if we want to support 100% of users and don't think about economics I really doubt there's going to be someone with Netscape 2.0 visiting your website nowadays.

Lessons Learned from Scaling Up Cloudflare's Anomaly Detection Platform
Adobe did not birth Flash, they bought it, through Macromedia.

Also, Flash gets a lot of flak, but it saved us from applets and ActiveX. It also enabled multi media content on a web that was not yet as standardised and functional as today's.

Acrobat reader on the other hand, is pure cancer, and has seen many security holes. PDF is useful, but there are far better PDF readers.
Sorry about that. FOOF did cause some people headaches.

I should have more specifically said, "has there been a problem with RDRAND hardware in any Intel CPU?"

FOOF wasn't a "real" problem for an average user, it had some workarounds. It wasn't even triggered unless you tried to execute an invalid instruction.

Much much much worse was the Intel FDIV bug. That one caused Intel to recall processors and cost them $475 million.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_FDIV_bug

Lots of jokes resulted. E.g.: We are Pentium of Borg. Division is futile. You will be approximated.

As for RDRAND, Intel put a lot of thought into it. It wasn't just a hack.

Here's a high level presentation. (A friend of mine at Intel thought highly of Dr. George Cox, who was a long time Intel employee). https://old.hotchips.org/wp-content/uploads/hc_archives/hc23...

I know many services that designed to remove pirated copies and do all the takedown on your behalf.

This sounds like one of those.
Companies might have multiple such services.

What's indeed odd is the takedown is on the referral.

But going through the process where you work out what customer data you need, reviewing how it's stored, letting your customers all this, is good.

~3000km if you put an undersea cable in the Mediterranean. Also, lower losses at higher voltages.

I have no idea what HVDC underwater cables cost, their maximum voltage, nor their losses, so let’s go with your original figures, and the worst case: 35% losses.

The average of the BNEF 2021, Lazard 2020, and IRENA 2020 studies says that utility scale solar costs $48/MWh while nuclear costs $164/MWh:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_source#...

35% loss would make that $73.8/MWh.

At these distances I must assume the grid itself is a non-trivial cost, and estimating that cost certainly deserves a lot more careful thought than I can put into one comment, but that grid would have to cost effectively more than $90/MWh to be worse than nuclear.

Well, I would argue a lot of people would desire to reset their credit score to default level, and it has much more profound impact on a person's life than some targeted ads.

Adobe didn't birth Flash, they bought it.

Tangentially related, I worked at Adobe around 2002-2004 on an Acrobat multimedia plugin that supported multiple media players: QuickTime, Windows Media Player, Real Player, and whatever other players were popular. I suggested we should support Flash too. Management was like "sure, whatever, it's good to support a lot of players, but don't spend much time on it."

Obviously this was before the Macromedia acquisition.
