Yes. Not working to Taiwan's defense would make the damage of the past four years permanent.
Somewhat, but even the non-insiders still do pretty well. My returns over the last few years are much more than I deserve, and I just have 401k/mutual funds. Maybe they would have been higher without these insiders, but probably not immensely.
I don't think i would ever want to be liable for the shenanigans of another programmer.

The view associated with Joseph Tainter, regarding collapse, is that collapse necessitates/involves retrenching at lower levels of complexity.
What are they gonna do, round up ALL the Jews. C'mon it's 1932, nothing like that could happen in less than 10 years!
Perhaps spend as much time as you need in reflection. Either with yourself or with the help of a therapist. It seems you're on shore and looking out to sea to a ship that is out of reach to you but you feel you should be on but it's not possible for you to see how to get there. Once you are on that ship, you feel your life issues will be solved or you'll be in a much better place happiness wise.

Unfortunately, lots of money doesn't solve life problems most of the time. Especially the inner life problems.

Reflect on your life. What's missing? What's the gap? Focus on those things.

I assure you a bigger house, a nicer car or lots of money in your bank account doesn't make your inner life better. I'm making the assumption that you're financially doing OK already.

The hardest thing to do is for us to reflect on ourselves and ask the why questions. It's easy to focus on something else and make that the target.
I might be dumb about estimating throughput.
According to https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash, the best hash function can only do 100s M hashes per second, how can a local cache run at such throughput? I assume when measuring cache throughput, one need to calculate hash, look up, (maybe compare keys), and copy the data.
> I received a rejection from state farm today stating that I'm not a good fit. Even though I meet the qualifcations.

Speaking as someone who has interviewed a few dozen candidates, this likely means you're rubbing people up the wrong way. Based solely on reading this comment alone:

> I felt like that I should've got promoted after reporting those issues, especially since I found them within my frist two weeks

If I interviewed someone who told me they left their previous job because they weren't progressing after raising issues immediately after being hired, that would be a hard no from me.
It's a weird situation where you can make 60k+ pretty early on in your career but still get yelled at more than you really thought you would as an adult.
Again, low or not, that is the bar that distinguishes fads from mature tech.
I like that FastAPI has documentation meant to be read from beginning to end. It walks you through not only the how but the why of core design decisions, and even dives into ancillary things like pydantic. This is in sharp contrast to most python packages of modest size where IMHO the bare minimum effort is put into technical docs. Usually you get something using a 10+ year old Sphinx template that hasn't changed for modern devices, and no description of usage is more than a trite paragraph (i.e. the attention span of a developer writing a docstring).
That is a good point that I had forgotten about, the law that briefly classified certain semi-automatic rifles as assault rifles.

But that law is expired, as you note, and semi-automatic rifles are no longer legally or by militaries to be considered assault rifles. Selective fire is the supposed to be the distinguishing feature of that term and concept.

That was an unfortunate way to name the law, messing up technical language. Should have just called it the "Excessively Dangerous Firearms" ban or something.

I'm surprised the law withstood constitutional scrutiny. Any idea if any challenges of it went to SCOTUS?
I’m not familiar with the work in question, but this is a common theme in academic research. Sometimes there’s a kernel of an idea published by one individual which is later rediscovered independently (or not) and developed into a much more comprehensive theory. The latter is what the OP means by “just having an idea is not enough.”
No, just remove the onerous clauses rather than GMO crops.
With game design, platforms offer so many platforms for integration/tie-ins. I remember after one steam sale I had bought a bunch of games I didn't like, and I thought "well I have all these trading cards; might as well try selling them", and the process of checking out the markets/getting steam credit for my transactions was far more engaging in a raw sense than any game I had played that day, and that disappointed me a bit.

One rule of thumb that I have when I'm making games is to avoid tie-ins to external ecosystems where it's not necessary - that the reason to play a game should come from the game itself.

I know someone who had a game that was well-liked on kongregate (flash games portal), and at some point they did a tie in where you could unlock cards for the the kongregate collectable card game by getting certain achievements in said game. The developer got a giant spike of hate as people forced themselves to get these pretty difficult achievements in a game that brought them no joy so they could do something else.

And I also, I guess don't mind so much if people don't like my games/bounce off them. That's ok. And if I find myself pulling tricks to keep their attention longer than the core gameplay can, then I take a step back and reevaluate what I'm doing. Many of my favourite games I never finished (some of the zachtronics ones got a bit too tricky and I dropped out, but never without a smile on my face) - I was happy to play them until I bounced. It's ok for engagement to come to an end - one doesn't need to trap people in loops.

But there's an aesthetic pleasure to be got from being trapped in a loop, and maybe you might need to trap people long enough for them to get into the meat of the game, but I'm a lot more wary about that than most I've found.

Re the article itself: I'd say clicking the 'next' button is a traumatising experience when it results in a several second load and a pile of ads to scroll through. I just can't get behind it as general advice...I just can't. If the page loads snappily then maybe ^^

I guess GDPR/Cookies prompts may fall into this category as well. I've appreciated them as a barrier helping break me from engagement loops in the past.
This is potential huge. I hope it works more seamlessly than the Element/IRC bridge, which is a hot pile of garbage and almost got me kicked off an IRC channel due to the formatting issues that the Element bridge introduces.
Best of luck to them!
I loved my Mac at the time! But it was an abusive relationship. Crashes weren't constant, exactly, but they were random and pervasive.

I got trained to automatically save my file at every single pause in my typing. Finish a sentence? Command-S. Minor edit? Command-S. Paste? Command-V, Command-S. I only noticed when I moved to another computer and muscle memory stopped working.

This depends. On my (dell) laptop, the mic is basically right between the two speakers, below the lip of the laptop. It’s possibly the worst placement you could come up with for a microphone, because it barely picks up voice, and picks up all the typing, desk noises and speaker echo in the world. But I suppose that’s not surprising from the company that thought that a webcam beneath the laptop display would be a good idea...

> It's deeply unjust we live in a society where simply being a person isn't enough to merit having a home and medical care

We should really get moving on that. We still need to build housing for about 1.6 billion and I don't know of good estimates about how many more doctors and hospitals we need to provide that care. Right now, it feels like it's mostly the Catholic church building hospitals, which is why so many are named after saints.
Free Chatbots for All:)
We're a young startup pretty frustrated with the kind and quality of chatbots out there. Anything that looks worthwhile and half decent ends up becoming expensive in the long run and cheap chatbots look ugly!

In that spirit, we're going ahead and releasing a completely free chatbot for folks to use - comment below and we'll send you a link :)
This happens a lot with cheap clone Bluetooth dongles for some reason - they all have the same MAC address, or one of a handful of addresses with some of the newer ones.
I'll shamelessly piggy-back here, and note that I'm working on a different type of type-safe validation library for Python here: https://github.com/keithasaurus/koda.

I'm nearing an initial release, but am still working on some of the docs, naming, and things like that. If anyone would like to give feedback, I'd be grateful!
That blew my mind as well. I remember it looking so good.

Xbox - 64mb

Xbox 360 - 512mb

Xbox One - 8 GB (later 12 GB)

Xbox Series X - 16 GB

This last one also surprises me, was expecting at least 32GB
I believe the strings are still encoded internally as byte arrays however, it's just that when you pull out a character it can be multiple bytes (emojis for example are often 3 bytes), so you need a 4 byte datatype to store them.
I think it's valid to question whether VAR is broken or not, however I think in the end it's a net benefit to football. Some will say it wasn't ready for production, but we all know real world usage is the real test that surfaces issues. And I say this as a Spurs supporter who's been burnt by VAR far too many times to count.

Also, thanks for not calling the website offsideSornot.com ;)
The farming practices in the Indian Subcontinent are not as mechanized and not as geared towards profit maximization, which certainly helps.

However, the main reason why that region is always fertile is the immense amount of rich soil brought by the Indus River from its origins in the Himalayas. There is no such replacement mechanism for the US Midwestern plains; the soil was created over millennia and once it’s gone it’s gone forever.
Good one. Bringing Up Baby is my favorite, mostly because the two main characters are basically my parents.
"it's hard to make a cogent argument that Paul Pelosi, who is by all measures a private citizen, should be restricted from trading specific stocks"

No it's not. If you grant that Nancy Pelosi should be treated similarly to a corporate insider, then it is pretty obvious that her spouse should be treated like an insider's would be.
I was surprised to see that (at least on the 360) there was no way for a title to terminate itself; the game process ran until it was killed by something else (e.g., the user launching another title, or shutting the console down).

Another surprise was the utter lack of a date-and-time clock chip. Without a network (and I'm guessing, without actually connecting to XBox Live), the 360 had no idea what time it was. That saved a bunch of money on hardware, and removed headaches involving coin cells (such as shipping policies).
Exactly, thank you. I struggled for the right words but you captured my sentiment perfectly. I think the perspective that we have a "duty to contribute" might be a valid one in a philosophical sense, but I resent being told as by a parent scolding their child that I have some duty or other.

I have no such thing. I am debt free and live the way I want. I live alone. I have no children or spouse to support. I owe nothing to anybody. I don't owe anyone an explanation. Maybe the opposing views come from people who believe they do, but in no way is it universal.

Your point from the perspective of wealth inequality is more elegant. In my case I am wealthy enough to support roughly one person: me.

If I want or need more resources, I have levers I can pull to obtain them. But don't tell me I have a "duty" to add value to the economy.
Of all the people in tech I know as friends or professionals I know of exactly one guy who is diligent about comparing checksums and it's the same guy with a multi thousand dollar homelab. Absolutely nobody is doing this frequently unless they've automated it or they have an obsession with privacy (to be fair, nothing wrong with that, just that it's exceptionally rare).
"Overqualified" in concert with your employment record of very short stints means they're worried you won't be happy at the job and you'll leave for something else. Which, bluntly, they're right to be worried about.

Hiring a person has a pretty high fixed cost for the company (in time spent setting things up, doing their end of the paperwork, making time to show you the ropes, etc.), and it's only worthwhile if it's an investment - i.e., if the person being hired stays.

Your resume gives an employer absolutely no reason to believe that you'll stay. So you have to be extremely convincing about that when you talk to them - that means you have to be extremely convincing that you'll be happy working at a job even if it's not the right fit for you, even if they don't recognize you as much as you think you deserve, even if the internal email system maxes out at 1 GB.

(The person who's hiring you almost certainly also has an ambition to a higher role, has been slighted for recognition before, and has their own complaints about the IT setup! I've never heard anyone say "My company is over-promoting me and our internal email system is too good." So if you give them any reason to believe that those sorts of things are dealbreakers for you, and not things that you too will put up with, they'll expect you to leave. They're not going to convince themselves it's fine to hire you because that problem won't happen here.)

For instance, if they ask you why you left Amazon, you'd better not be saying "I found an important problem and I didn't get recognition for it." Tell them you had a personal emergency or something.

Not at all. My respect for my late friend and employer may sound romanticized, but the business was a real and practical thing.

I think a farm being a vital business since the 1670s qualifies as adapted to the local climate.

In my region of the country, water and topsoil is abundant. But you can’t compete with massive western operations.
If I buy some MSFT shares on the market, is my money being put to use by Microsoft? I see this kind of sentiment all the time but it seems to rely on a VC model of investment where you’re buying shares from the company/founders. I am dumb about this stuff so please someone correct me.
I have problems focusing long term. It's not just boring stuff - I even have problems trying to play a game for more than half an hour. If there is an external force compelling me to do so it helps - whether it be a project deadline, or a multiplayer game where just quitting would leave teammates screwed, etc.

I've heard wonders about ADHD drugs, but I'm hesitant to pop a pill for something that is more of a big annoyance than critical.

On a weird note, I've heard people swearing that taking an ADHD pill before a coding interview works wonders. Not that I am advocating this lightly. I know back in college there was a black market for ADHD pills where students use them while cramming for exams, etc.
If you mean the story of the Georgian police reform, it happened a while ago, and there's plenty of articles on how it went and the results it produced. For example:

That's a redundancy against thirsty developers.
The candid answer, from reading your post and especially replies, is that you come across as a bit entitled and likely get denied job opportunities because of how you communicate.

That might be good news, because you don’t have to change yourself but reframe your perspective.

Preferably I’d suggest a mental health professional who focuses on your self narrative.. but I understand that can be expensive.

Perhaps you could do something like a HealthyGamerGG coach. They are more affordable, and I think they’ll be able to give you the feedback you need to get past this.

Best of luck!
Prince Philip: Royals release new photos of the Duke of Edinburgh
Most of the principles stated in the website seem reasonable, (except maybe some vague points in the CoC, but that's a minor issue). It's mostly the same as the GNU project itself but with a vouch for transparent governance. I guess it is meant to attract the majority of GNU developers. Do you know if they will reject as members those GNU developers who are, openly, supporters of RMS?
Are you comparing a single threaded hash benchmark to a multithreaded cache benchmark? An unbounded concurrent hash table has 1B reads/s on a 16 core machine (~60M ops/s per thread)
From your linked document:

> The Commission announced that it will propose the necessary legislation to tackle child sexual abuse online effectively including by requiring relevant online services providers to detect known child sexual abuse material and oblige them to report that material to public authorities by the second quarter of 2021. The announced legislation will be intended to replace this Regulation, by putting in place mandatory measures to detect and report child sexual abuse, in order to bring more clarity and certainty to the work of both law enforcement and relevant actors in the private sector to tackle online abuse, while ensuring respect of the fundamental rights of the users, including in particular the right to freedom of expression and opinion, protection of personal data and privacy, and providing for mechanisms to ensure accountability and transparency.

If the measures to detect certain kinds of content are "required" and "mandatory", that rules out end-to-end encryption.

Sure, they promise to use their powers to snoop only for good. Perhaps this commission means it, too. Just not sure why it would only be used for good, though.

I see multiple posts in this thread that seem to have the same generous reading of this that you have. But I don't see where that is coming from. They seem to be clearly calling for regulations that will not for allow end-to-end encryption.
The Garmin mini/inreach are not cheap. Poor people hike too. It’s one of the few things you can do with low income.
I believe there needs to be serious limits on the ability of “descriptivists” to condone divergent meanings of words. Within reason it is fine to describe new slightly expanded uses of words but wholesale accepting that word meanings can change arbitrarily in principle seems harmful to the maintenance of the integrity and quality of our language. For example, many people dislike HOAs but neighborhoods with HOAs maintain a certain level of quality, while neighborhoods without HOAs have quality levels across the board, including very bad.
No.

The front end is an untrusted computing environment and anything you give to your front end developers you also give to potentially hostile users.

The security implications of things like GraphQL are, frankly, bonkers, but nobody seems to notice.

This is in stark contrast with the server side, where you do have a trusted computing environment and you can, to an extent, give your developers what amounts to "root" access to the database.

I wrote a blog post on this a while back:

An interesting quirk was that retail units used the same motherboard as the devkits with 128mb of RAM, so you could DIY your own 128mb Xbox

Regular Xbox games don't benefit of course, but it becomes possible to play arcade games based on the Sega Chihiro platform (an Xbox derivative with 128mb RAM)
>America would never have been discovered. We would all be Indians.

You mean that an entire continents' worth of civilizations might not have been pillaged, or their peoples slaughtered, or their cultures erased because some jackass Italian who couldn't steer a boat or tell the difference between brown people might not have just happened to stumble across the "New World" when he was aiming for India?

I mean, America would have been "discovered" eventually, the Vikings already found it before Columbus. But to think that Native Americans might have been left alone with their destinies unmanifested by white people for a few more years... that would have been awful.
When capitalism ceases to encourage food expiring in a landfill rather than feed the homeless, I suppose.
Two patterns - you don't stick with projects for long (perhaps really like freedom) and want a safety net (medical insurance). (Plus you could be a better communicator, the post you wrote turned out into not so coherent rambling halfway in, tbh.)

Unless you are willing to relocate to a saner country than the US, you need to give up one. Most commenters here advise to give up some of your freedom and stick it out somewhere, and it's a very valid advice. I just want to add that you can also consider going the opposite way - and just get a steady stream of shorter-term gigs freelancing (e.g. Upwork).

There is a lot of upsides - it's easy to work on projects completely remotely (including written only with no voice/video) which rules out any interpersonal issues; you can work on bite-sized projects which might be your cup of tea, at the same time some of the projects will turn into long term opportunities; you can actually put the best projects on your CV.

Freelancing won't give you great medical insurance. And at the beginning (with no history on the platform) it's a grind to succeed in the competition and you need to work your hourly rates up from a low base. Longer term it can pay nicely, you'll be working on a lot of different things and learn what you enjoy, and it should teach you a lot.

Derisk this experiment, try it out while you are looking for a job.
Well, depends how it's sent. The header information in an encrypted message is unencrypted. Using an MUA, the body of the message will be sent as an inline attachment. The contend definition of the boundary for the attachment is Content-Type: application/pgp-encrypted, which is trivial to detect. A encrypted attachment that uses a generic application/binary or text/plain starts with -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- or 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 42 45 47 49 4e 20 50 47 50 20 4d 45 53 53 41 47 45 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d, which again is trivial to detect.

Edit: I'm not suggesting PGP itself is bad because of this. There are many other reasons why you should consider other methods of sending messages securely that aren't email or PGP.
This "covenant" thing is really badly written and ambiguous. I don't understand why are they using this instead of the more explicit GNU Kind Communication Guidelines.
I’m amazed that anyone bothered remaking it. Hepburn, Grant, and Stewart... you’re not gonna come close to topping that. Don’t even try.
