Those graphs are epidemiological studies. Saying “effect” implies that alcohol is a cause here, which is might be, but who knows!

Nutritional epidemiology is real questionable - it pretty much can tell you nonsense - like the fact that most items we cook with give us cancer [1]

Sure, it might not mean they can't do the job. But it might indicate they don't like working under pressure, they don't like learning new skills, they don't like working with women, or any other kind of bias or preference everyone has.
You know, I am actually VERY okay with short-term thinking but not when it's 100% of all decision making.

Make it 75% short-term objective and give the other 25% to longer-term planning and/or simply playing with ideas and I'll be very happy to work in such a place.

I am not a fanatic -- and most programmers are actually quite understanding (if a bit too timid sometimes) people.

We just want the pendulum to not be on one of the sides 100% of the time. That's it really.

> Does my blog have to support accessibility? I don't sell anything, but it is public.

No, it doesn't. Your home also doesn't need to be wheelchair accessible, even if you throw a party and welcome anyone in.

Sounds like a private club so no, it doesn't.

The outcome of this case would not change the answers to these questions.

Yes.

The law in question applies to "places of public accommodation" which is a legal phrase. This case, and similar cases, hinges on one of two questions: 1) do the ADA obligations of physical places (like grocery stores) extend to their non-physical goods and services or 2) do websites, apps, etc. constitute "places" in their own right (e.g. does this particular law apply to Hulu, Tinder, etc.)?

In my opinion, the majority in this case was too focused on the laws lengthy, but clearly not comprehensive, list of example places, all of which were normally thought of as physical (but are not inherently so, even when the law was written), they didn't concern themselves enough that the clear intent of the law is to provide equal access to goods, services, etc.
That's just not realistically possible beyond simple stacks of blended layers - and even then there are corner cases where two implementations will end up computing different final composites. Anything nondestructive within a file format is almost always tied to the exact algorithm implementation of the program in which the file was created. Sometimes even swapping the order of commutative or associative mathematical operations for the same formula will lead to different results.

I tried to make non-destructive workflows work in other contexts. It is probably not appreciated hard this is. It's easy to get yourself painted into a corner because if a file format says "apply operation x with these parameters", you are now stuck with shipping this operation x with all future versions of the software, even if you come up with a version 2.0 of x that is better, but not quite the same somehow. And if you want that software to keep a sane UI, it must hide that implementation detail of multiple versions of internal stuff somehow, usually with some kind of nasty hack. Especially open source programs are quite notorious for shying back from that because cruft like that is not fun to write or maintain.

Access to kernel mode on Windows is already pretty restricted as it is. As far as I understand, you either have to run your whole machine in a special "Test Mode" or have a specific kind of (expensive) code signing certificate.

But beyond that, I don't see how "more restriction" == "more control for the user"
WISP and Musk are ruled by the same Shannon, so I'm skeptical that there will be a significant advantage over the long term, but satellite has a big advantage it terms of coverage -- the difference between "can you see that tiny hilltop in the distance over the trees?" and "can you see the sky?"
One of the strengths of Metabase is that it can plug into a variety of data sources, not just RDBMS. For example, AWS Athena over data in S3 buckets. Good design can still make things easier, of course, but not always an option. Relational purity is not going to be an option in such circumstances, so are in my opinion correctly not addressed in the piece.

Anecdotally, we had the opportunity to get better gear for developers than an outdated single 24” 1080p screen and slow computer. Higher management invited a few engineers to share Ygritte ultimate setup. These varied widely between one large ultra widescreen and three small screens. The developers in the meeting started arguing vehemently in the meeting and in the end they couldn’t agree and all developers were left with the same stuff. If you were enterprising enough you could gather two of those 1080p screens until someone from workplace it saw that and installed to desk to spec.

Yeah, if you don't find any competition, that's usually not a great thing. The world being as big as it is, you're _probably_ not the first person to think of this particular idea, and it's _usually_ that there's not a market for it.

That said, maybe this is an idea you can niche _up_ with? Instead of just one form of moderation, could you take the basic tech and use it to moderate a whole bunch of nasties that admins don't want to waste time dealing with? You'll want to make sure that the a _paying_ market exists for such tools first, obviously, but it's a potential option.
As always, call and write your legislators and the CFPB. Regulatory bodies and legislation are the only ways such disenfranchisement get fixed.

In this person’s case, they should’ve reported Chase’s actions to their state’s attorney general, their state’s financial services regulatory body, the CFPB, the OCC, and the Federal Reserve, in order to generate a robust and and comprehensive paper trail. Sometimes, this resolves an issue when compliance becomes aware a paper trail has been started. Failing that, it’s easier to hand over reference and case tracking numbers to legislators to reference and obtain documentation directly versus your own complaint package.

Also, just don’t use Chase. They’re a garbage too big to fail institution. Lots of better banks out there, but also don’t report security vulnerabilities yourself for your banking relationships. Provide them to an arms length third party to report them who can’t be impacted by retaliatory behavior.

Dreamweaver is very stuck in the past also. Adobe put some Brackets code into it, to try improve it (Adobe version of VS Code), and somehow managed to make it worse. You would think they would have brought in the good part (its ecosystem of plugins) but no, they pulled in a bit of code rendering and nothing much else. It cant even do basic linting of JavaScript!, does really annoying focus stealing on the OS (click maximize on other application stays hidden), and crashes and rendering goes fuzzy all the time.
Advice would have to be tailored to specific database technologies and probably specific versions.

For example, in Apache Impala and Spark, "Prefer = to LIKE" is good advice, especially in join conditions, where an equijoin would allow the query planner to use a Hash Join, whereas a non equijoin limits the query planner to a Nested Loop join.
After 2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt, Erdogan government doesn't trust military air-force. After the attempt, a large part of the airforce has been dismantled, and retired airforce pilots asked to return. A lot of them didn't because private companies provide a better life. So there are trust issues and also a shortage of pilots on the military side.

The article mentions that they are going to use the helicopters on the eastern side of the Turkey where Kurdish terrorist forces are active. Since the Kurdish attacks began, the military use in Turkish soil has garnered arguments. That's why police is also really active in the fight against terrorism.

Moreover, lately the political climate in Turkey has turned against the Kurdish political movement and every time this happens, the Kurdish terrorist arm gets active. I believe this is part of the preparations against possible terrorist activity. I believe there will be an insurgence of terrorist activity because every time the country is in chaos, Erdogan's grip of power strengthens and Erdogan needs to reinforce his rule.

In the last local elections ruling AKP party lost the municipalities of the big cities, and especially losing Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality hit AKP really hard. Erdogan was the mayor of the city before founding AKP, and has been using the city to fund some of AKP's operations.

The polls show that the mayor of Istanbul Ekrem Imamoglu, and the mayor of Ankara Mansur Yavas, both from the opposing party CHP, are seen as direct competition to Erdogan and in most of the polls both exceed Erdogan. In Turkey, they say, whomever gets Istanbul gets the country, and Imamoglu has been a great leader for the city.

Also, Erdogan has to have an early election to be able to be a candidate, or change the constitution before the elections. He doesn't have a candidate that can replace him in the party, and under current conditions — a disastrous pandemic, crumbling economy, skyrocketing unemployment — he couldn't win an early election.

Therefore, I expect Erdogan to strangle the politic arm of the Kurdish movement and make the military arm react with bombings and terrorist activity in the near future. It is Erdogan's hope to be on top of it, and win another election as the savior of Turkey.

Yes, alcohol works that way. But self medicating with alcohol is risk factor for alcohol dependence. That is why it is not prescribed for anxiety as a cure - long term results are not good.

There's a few talks by David Nutt available on YouTube and they're well worth watching. One of the most interesting things he mentions is a possible antidote for alcohol. It's theoretical but seems like it should be possible but nobody seems interested in developing it. The other thing is how the alcohol industry drive a lot of the fear and hysteria around other drugs. Loads of people die every single day as a direct result of alcohol, but the one time a girl died while using ecstasy the media went into a frenzy about it.

The alcohol industry seems to me as bad as the tobacco industry.

I've been teetotal for coming up to two years now. I feel better than ever. Alcohol has no positive effects. It serves only to numb the senses. I prefer to experience the world in all its glory. Luckily it's very easy to be teetotal now. As Nutt mentions, you do need to have a glass of drink (that isn't water) at all times in social settings, but I can get a lime soda anywhere and now have a mocktail from many places. Loads of people don't drink either for health reasons, religious or just because they don't want to. It's easy.
It's the difference between long-term dependency and short-term overuse. There's plenty of overlap, of course. Many people's need for alcohol leads to both behaviors. But they're still conceptually different things. It's possible, though perhaps rare, for an alcoholic to drink every day but never enough to be a danger to themselves or others. It's all too common for people in their teens or twenties to binge drink and get themselves or others killed, without ever being alcoholics.
Same Shannon limit, but very different bands and channel sizes as well. Most WISPs are limited by the unlicensed frequency bands that exist in FCC part 15, and things like 3.5 and 3.65 GHz. One of the things that can go wrong with that is many WISPs in the same area fighting over the same bands from 5100-5900 MHz.

By comparison LTE fixed last mile services in some places (where expensive spectrum is owned by entities like tmobile) have some of the prime tree-penetrating frequencies in the 600 and 700 MHz bands, and 2.5 GHz band. One of the reasons why clearwire was acquired by sprint was for their 2500 band.
As if “hypocricy” was the worst possible offense. If you remove government, who will then stop other monopolies from forming in their place? Government is what all governed people, in aggregate, decide should be common principles. If they are not to your liking, then you can either leave or advocate for (often slow and gradual) change. It is often said that people get the governent they deserve; i.e. the problem (if there is one) is with people, not government. I would argue that you can’t really abolish government, any more that you can have a structureless organization:

They were and are a really fucking dumb idea.

A smoke detector has exactly one function.

Make really irritating noise whenever something is wrong.

And exactly two definitions of wrong: smoke and low power.

The incorporation of convenience features entirely defeated the purpose of smoke detectors. It made them less likely to save lives.

There are still IOT smoke detectors in the commercial space for air ducts. And instead of noise, they signal a monitored central station in facilities in working relationships with the local fire service. Hospitals for example.

That's not your house.

The limited life expectancy of smoke detectors created an attractive recurring purchase model for Nest. It over-ruled life safety effectiveness. I suspect, but have no evidence beyond circumstantial, that lawyers, regulators, and insurers all said things that made financial accountants remodel projections.

Unless I were already out of work, a contract period would pretty much be a non-starter--unless, as you say, it was really exceptional and I was able to confirm to my satisfaction that just terminating after the contract period was something very out of the ordinary. But it's very unlikely I would leave a position I was reasonably happy with for something like this.
Genshin Impact is a recent game that has included a kernel mode anti-cheat. I would be very surprised if the majority of players know that it exists, or understand what it means to have it run in kernel mode.

The Genshin website previously allowed anyone to view the phone number you have linked to your account via the password reset mechanism. Due to common reports of accounts getting stolen (and unable to be recovered), two factor auth has been highly requested, but doesn't seem to be a priority. I'm skeptical that they strongly care about the security of their users.

Even if Genshins anti-cheat is completely secure, as kernel anti-cheat becomes more common it's inevitable that we will get an instance that is full of security holes. Unfortunately as long as the user can't play their favorite game without it, they will happily install it.

I'm surprised this article didn't mention test driven development for building large pieces of software!

I thought the test-driven development idea was impractical and pedantic when I first heard about it. I gave it a shot, though, and the thing it allowed me to do was to prevent massive systems from becoming impossible to modify. When a system gets so big that it is impossible to fit it in one's mind, most developers get scared to do new releases because there's probably some critical part of the system they forgot. They forgot all the requirements and QA test cases for at least one obscure part of the system. Even if all the QA test cases are documented, the process to release becomes increasingly difficult and time consuming.

With test-driven development, you can just run all the tests, and if they pass, say ship it. The key is not to get too many tests, especially integration tests which take a long time to run and like to break when designers make UI changes. Usually, I start with the happy path integration test and then write tests as I'm developing for things that don't work right. About 40% of the stuff works the first time, and I never have to write a test for it. 45%, I write the test and fix it, and it passes, and I can forget about it. The other 15% is usually some tricky algorithm with many corner cases, and that's where most of the testing goes. I typically write one happy path integration test and then fill in the lower level tests as needed. When the happy path works, most of the system is working. That said, spending time on integration tests is usually a massive waste of time. It either works the first time or something lower down broke, and one should write a test for the lower level part that runs in a shorter amount of time than the integration test.

I was able to port a large enterprise app from an Oracle backend to Postgres because there were tests for everything. The port just amounted to getting all the tests to run on the new database and the necessary data migration. This migration was by no means a trivial feat, but it was at least possible, and it ended up working and saving the company millions in license fees.

The point being. A system with millions of lines of code is approachable if it has good tests. A new developer can work on it, and if all the tests pass, that developer didn't break anything. I can go back to the code I wrote years ago and still use it if I run the tests, and it works. I can then see how it's supposed to work, add features, and so forth. Without tests, this is very difficult because as systems become bigger, they break more and more if they don't have tests.

That's a fair assessment when it comes to addiction, but there's also binge drinking which has a fair number of detrimental effects and a decent rate of overdoses. I looked up the rate of incident and was actually surprised at the prevalence throughout age groups, to be honest.

EDIT:

To be clear, I'm not an abolishonist. I do think, however, we should look at the actual potential harm of a substance when making laws. Alcohol is both physically addictive and habitual vs. marijuana or mushrooms. Alcohol and MDMA have overdose risk, where as marijuana and mushrooms do not. Marijuana and MDMA can pose serious psychological risks, especially in adolescents, where alcohol has a much lesser risk. These should all be reviewed in a scientific and dispassionate manner when defining laws, is all I'm suggesting.
If the app/website can provide this information, the customer can listen to it in the privacy of his own home, instead of requiring him to ask in the store.

Factually incorrect. Some people have different hourly incomes, by several orders of magnitude. Some people have passive income, which no longer requires any time input. Some people have inherited wealth, which is entirely uncorrelated with their own efforts.
