They have a whole process including things like counting your "umms" and "aahs" and "likes" and other verbal fillers. A good group gives you constructive criticism from others who have gone through the process themselves. I learned to pace myself better and to slow down. The speaking skills I had developed in presenting to technical audiences were not as useful for non-technical presentations and Toastmasters helped me improve there.
Kicking the can down the road is a sustainable policy, making the can bigger each time we kick it is not.
It is a response to (among other things) "An open letter to remove Richard M. Stallman from all leadership positions"[1]. This letter emphasised Stallman's beliefs over his behaviour. So if Stallman's behaviour was "the point", then the authors of the letter failed to make it. They could have focused on his behaviour instead and have an honest discussion. They didn't.

Dynamic components solve part of that problem, and you can work around it by organizing your pages differently. Would be nice, though.
Is there some way to limit streamed music to stuff that has a suitable license? I'm thinking specifically of Creative Commons stuff.

Or couldn't you make a front end that pulls audio from Spotify or some other paid service? I want to see ideas like this flourish and support artists.
I don't see as much benefit from pair programming if it involves two students and replaces being taught by an instructor.

Leak of Private Key by German contract tracing app
Literally ONE person on here referred to VAERS. You people really do need to do more research instead of going in circles.
Great. Now programming languages are also political tools. We should do the same in science. Every scientist should learn every language of every other scientist so everybody can write their papers in the language of the culture they identify with. That will surely advance science and benefit all of us immensely.

No its not. mak.ink saves text to LocalStorage, bangle.io uses the File System Access API to read and write from the users disk (https://web.dev/file-system-access/).
CommonJS worked well enough for lots of things, and it was neat that it was so simple (no new syntax!)

But it had limitations, chiefly that imports/exports were not static. Things got imported at runtime when they got reached, etc. This meant that things like browserify were fudging the semantics in some ways, and it also made it impossible to properly do tree-shaking. The stricter semantics of ES modules are better IMO, despite the pain of transitioning.
The article you linked said Cellbrite was helping in the attempt to unlock the phone, it didn't say they succeeded.
The best way is practice -- you simply get used to anything the more you do it.

When I was in HS, I joined debate club, where we spoke for 5-10 minutes at a time in front of anywhere from 5-20 club friends or opponents. When you do this repeatedly, for most people, your anxiety and nerves eventually go away, and it's just "what you do" now.

The same was true of musical performance: I hated performing until I did it about 50 times. Then I got comfortable and my average performance was no big deal.

Another idea: which language are you native in, and which are you using to speak confidently? If it's not your primary, that could be part of it. There's also focus-related disorders, if you have ADHD or similar, then your symptoms would make sense.

My Pet Peeve: Some people will interrupt others conversationally, and it's not nice. Conversation should be back/forth, not interrupting. You can always say "Let me finish my thought first". You can also have default responses to buy time: "Thank you, that's a great question" gives them a nice compliment and buys you 5 seconds to think.

And questions are a GOOD thing: they force you to really know the pitfalls, the details, and the trade-offs of your engineering strategy. People aren't trying to "getcha" and one-up you, they're trying to improve your approach, that's great for you if you can handle it emotionally :)

Good luck, you'll do well!!
It does. The three AZs they replicate across are just as good as anything else someone typically calls a "datacenter." Amazon itself operates retail out of one region and uses multi-AZ as a fault tolerance strategy.

I would say it applies much more strongly in the US, because you are quite literally paying for them to listen to you, rather than in the UK where it is a negligible amount through a specific type of tax. If they do not help you or listen to you then there's quite literally no point paying for their salary.
TheStreet.com is misunderstanding how options work? Okay. Let me explain it for you. A government contract takes a while to secure. A year long process wouldn't be out of the ordinary. So Pelosi's husband buys a $10M option early in the process and keeps tabs. As the contract goes public, he executes his options with an already profitable strike price, making approximately $1.1M in the process.

I don't think this is true or likely at all. Space is pretty much infinite and while it may take a few hundred years (or even a thousand) for personal space travel to be possible, that's nothing on a longer timeline.

You're describing a different thing. In this context trolling = a practical joke. One of the things that makes life rich and worth living.

Yes there's also a kind of troll who is basically just an internet asshole.
Recently I also discovered that YouTube shadow bans comments for using banned words (e.g. kill, coronavirus etc) or external links (two of my comments got banned). I have seen some people asking for sources on YouTube comments and it turns out you literally can't do that. Maybe that's why only spam comments rise to the top, any long or thoughtful comment simply gets shadow banned.

Good point about separating syntax and semantics. Maybe new languages should use something like lisp syntax to nail down the semantics, and then people could create their own syntaxes from there.

IIRC, Ohm (successor to OMeta) separates syntax from semantics!
Russia is information autocracy state. TV controlled by state for more than 20 years. Average Russian knows all sort of weird things, basically everything that helps Putin. West is evil, Putin is the only choice, Ukraine is fascist state, Russian is superior culture.

Liberals are better, yet their culture is based on occupation, it brings joy. Annexation of Crimea have raised Putin rating to 87%.
GitHub Actions Updater, Like GitHub's Dependabot, but for GitHub Actions

Monogamy can also be considered a source of risk depending on circumstances.

People who want to have lots of sex, will still feel those desires in a monogamous relationship. Monogamy might make them less likely to act on those feelings, but it will make them less likely to test regularly, and stop them from being open with their partners about risks, and prevents clear communication about establishing safe sex practices.

If my partner has sex with someone else, I want them to feel safe enough to tell me. That way I can make decisions such as using protection with them that I might not otherwise, or getting tested myself, which I would not be able to otherwise.
Counterexample: as a beginner, I think knowing English made "for" harder to understand: for loops in C don't seem to bear much relation to the meaning of "for" in common usage: yes, there is a condition that initiates the loop, but what about the other two statements? For me it was actually something I had to de-program from my brain before I could understand how they actually worked.
A friend of mine is working on a book, arguing that the root problem is public votes by members of Congress. Prior to 1970 or so, Congress used secret ballots. You could lobby them but you wouldn't know whether they voted your way. A new law changed that in the name of "transparency" and corporate donations and lobbying took off in a big way after that.

We insist on secret ballots for individual voters so they can't sell their votes, but for our legislators whose individual votes are far more consequential, we've given up on it.

In exchange, we get to see how they voted and "hold them accountable." But we can't do that nearly so effectively as corporate donors. Most of us don't look at voting records at all; our information mostly comes from attack ads taking votes out of context.
Gold might be a better example then.

This is less important but I think English is a better source of language keywords than romance languages. English has a lot of short, punchy words due to its germanic origin. Even as a Spanish speaker, the Latino code samples look tedious compared to the English keyword equivalents.
The web is already federated, YouTube just happens to be one of the most popular nodes. Fediverse systems like PeerTube are great, but they don't change anything; in a world where something like PeerTube is as popular as YouTube we'd see the exact same complaints about the most popular node.

This is true of much of the justice system. Penalties aren't meant to curb certain specific behaviors, they're meant to be used as general control mechanisms for people who can't wiggle out of punshiment by one means or another. I think the advance of physical and digital surveillance is eventually going to force a reevaluation of what behavior we criminalize, because either otherwise-upstanding people start to get caught in the web (see: piracy for personal use in the 00s), or we see an increasing number of highly public instances of clearly malicious or neglectful actors sliding (which we're arguably already seeing wrt police brutality cases).

We're inadvertently about to make the dystunction of our legal system everyone's problem, which is when you'll see change.

As someone whose mother tongue is Spanish, and was born and raised in Latin America, this feels pointless at best, and counterproductive at worst. It will only add an extra layer of mental translation whenever someone who learned to program in this thing gets a real job.

I started learning BASIC when I was 3 or 4, way before I even understood English was a thing. If I could grasp what GOTO did, anyone can.
Nah in the real world code isn't law. They'll do what they do with stolen cash. They confiscate it, and create a liability on the person who gave it to you. Or squeeze you both.
The thing is enum and union type have different use cases. Union type cannot be used to check against incoming data. It's a lightweight type level feature. There is no way for compiler to identify the unknown data object from the network. Enum is essentially an object in memory which can be used in this case.

Turkey, China, Russia, and now Iran will divvy up the spoils. Iran is an expansionist rising power vying for hegemony in the region and a repressive authoritarian religious dictatorship, it is silly to take their negotiations in good faith as if that weren't the case - whatever historical excuse they might try and shame you with.
Doesn't this comment belie your earlier one that your issue is not with his beliefs (which you took effort to emphasize by repeating it)?

Is your stated principle the one you actually stand on, or is it a more convenient justification -- we'll say that our reasons are X, because X is the most defensible/unassailable, but our actual reasoning is Y?
Ponzi is also derogatory. You should not dismiss the fact that Bitcoin kicked off blockchain as a technology, got a lot of people into a sort of financial playground, had questionable value and utility initially, and all that.

All that considered, you might still call it a Ponzi scheme if you really wanted to, but it certainly isn’t only a Ponzi scheme.
The first 18 months of a startup
I have lc. It is borderline crippling. I can barely climb the stairs and terms like "brain fog" are comically inaccurate. Its like being drugged or having something like dementia. I've only somehow managed to barely keep my job by hiding this from my employer. I'm also usually unable to stay away the entire daya and have hard crashes in the afternoon where I must lie down and crash into a weird deep sleep or I might faint standing up. Before this I was active, fit, and generally a high energy person. This also isn't "stress." I won't tell you my life story but I have more mileage on me than most and I've handled serious stress without my entire body falling apart on me.

Secondly, the only thing that has helped was my first dose of pfizer, which made me very sick for a week but since then helped with my symptoms significantly. Its very, very clearly linked to the actual virus and how our immune system reacts to it and I'm guessing things like the vaccine may help our immune system recalibrate itself or help our bodies fight off resident infections we just can't beat.

Thirdly, post-viral effects are well studied. We see them in all sorts of infections like Lyme, SARS, or EBV. This isn't necessarily new, its just different per virus family. Doctors usually can't help because there's no real treatment, and write people up like me as CFS/ME and hope it goes away (which so far thankfully there are a lot of reports of lc going away after a 2nd dose of the vaccine). Lesser so, people without lc still have chronic issues with their lungs, heart, sense of smell, tinitus, etc. Its really all a matter of degree. This isn't the common cold where you just beat it and go back to normal. For many people normal doesnt come back for a long time and how bad it is in the meantime is the big question.

Lastly, I think calling people hysterical from your comfy armchair where you're enjoying good health is tasteless, rude, and ignorant. I hope you never get lc or have to help a loved one with it. I hope you also stay out of the medical field if you have such an ungenerous and anti-compassionate attitude towards sick people.
Thank you for your honest reply.

Here is a thought experiment about growth: What if Google never grew again, but maintained the same revenues and profits going forward? To be clear: Their stock price would crash because portfolio theory teaches us that stock price is an indication of future earnings growth. This is what Japan looks like in my mind: Very rich and developed by global standards, but mostly economically stagnant.

"Not even the massive 2011 disaster was enough to light the fire again." Zero trolling: Are you aware of the special tax for reconstruction in Japan? (I pay it.) It runs for 40 or 50 years and will collect billions (USD) to rebuild and reinvigorate the affected regions. I went on a road trip through Iwate prefecture 2.5 years ago. They are rebuilding. Yes, most places feel like eerie "potemkin villages", but I am confident they can rebuild.
The movement has been co-opted by opportunists just like Al Sharpton did 10 years ago.

>STFU with all of the moralizing and support policies that actually work, even if you have to pony up a bit to pay for them. It's cheaper for you in the long run

>Your options are to be angry today and sick or dead tomorrow, or to let it go, support effective policies today,

You're asking for one portion of the populous to take on the burden cause by lack of restraint by another. There is legitimate reason for "moralizing" here. This is the point where what "two people do in the privacy of their bedroom" spills over into affecting everyone else.

It's ironic that "yelling at people doesn't work" yet we see just as much yelling and moralizing by the people who want the freedom to do whatever they want even when their actions DO negatively affect others.
Pretty spot-on! I think it's fair to call Bitcoin a ponzi scheme, it is not and will not be a stable currency, it's value isn't backed by anything and it needs constant new investment to work at all.
It is my understanding that many doctors have found "long covid" to 1. be a thing and 2. have specific, unexpected symptoms. Now it is possible that they are all wrong, but could you perhaps give a few arguments why you are right and all those doctors are wrong?

Luca is basically meant as an addition to the bluetooth based tracing app, there were competitors but kind of because of political favorism this provider had been preferred - even though better alternatives were also open to be picked.

Great question. PI seems to count the 'number of clicks on your pin' and Reddit does the same. I have the same feeling that they overcount the number to make more money. On more occasions than one I've written to cust support asking for clarifications, the only one that comes through is that 'maybe they bounce as soon as they land on your page'. I find this strange, since the interaction time is 0 secs in almost every case. I've now been warned by several marketing wall of famers that Reddit ads is a scam :)
