I think Germany taking two decades to catch up combined with Japans higher growth outside the recession looks better, I’d bet Japan next decade based on a lot of things, mostly software and tech. The debt may be a factor, but that’s a hypothesis not a fact so you should state it as such, it’s not stopped other countries from defaulting.

Easy to endlessly discuss this though, but without good faith on your side it won’t go anywhere useful.

I stand strongly by the point that anyone spouting Japan stagnation memes is just repeating shallow media talking points that are outdated and don’t reflect reality on the ground... yea, stagnation from a trajectory to be bigger than the US in GDP from a tiny island nation. Without so so many of the problems of the US. The quality of life there is incredibly high, they’re incredibly rich, they’re adjusting many soft factors to be better to work, women, and newer economic abilities.

It’s very roughly like if everyone went around talking about how Ferrari is stagnating, when they’ve had 2/5 popular cars in the last decade (incl one this year) and most other carmakers had 3/5 (but most none this year). Ok, maybe you can argue that, and I wouldn’t agree but fine, but it’s still a Ferrari and the rest of the world is driving Kia. The meme has gotten so strong people are actually out there now thinking Kia > Ferrari. I’m just bringing perspective to how it feels day to day there.
Yes thankfully I clicked away but that really needs a warning.
Ideally all sites should be deindexed, then maybe companies like Google would cease to exist and all this tracking nonsense would end. Just daydreaming...
Note that the Scoop project is pretty much dead.

The Scoop GCC manifest (and everything that depends on it) has been broken since January. GCC for Windows is now distributed using an unsupported archive format, and development to support that format has stalled out.
https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main/issues/1752

Someone made a workaround patch using a different GCC mirror, but it's been sitting open for a month.
https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main/pull/1933

One of the maintainers seems to be forking the scoop client, but their fork still uses the unmaintained main package bucket.

Did you find any realistic way person can prevent being fingerprint? most idea i have seen, like a tor browsing, is focusing on changing fingerprint and not so much on making fingerprint non-unique. But it always are easy for to connect change fingerprint to former fingerprint, so what we are really need is blending in with same fingerprint as other persons.
Well for one, gold is a precious metal with great electro-conductivity properties, never rusts and can be worked at low (relatively speaking) temperatures. Kinda useful for all these chips we need and other electronics. Try to do that with Bitcoin.
Finance and some understanding of the economy should be taught as a course, or perhaps those concepts should be taught as “application” in a math class.

One issue we have in the US is high school kids who take unfathomable amounts of student debt to land degrees that have little ROI. Of course that problem has lots of different dimensions, but one of the things we can do is teach kids how to think about money, savings, investing, and retirement.
Is there an HTML5 "make my cursor be good" library?

Because when I do stuff like this, it looks so appealing to just declare a cursor in a CSS rule. Then HTML5 is all like:

* ha ha. There's a default set somewhere else in the DOM that's overriding your cursor (as in the author's website where the titlebar triggers the text edition cursor).

* ha ha. I'll show your desired cursor for the DOM element, but when you drag the element with the mouse I'm going to flicker every time the mouse beats Javascript to a location that lies outside that element's bbox.

Especially when making a UI to drag SVG rects, this gets annoying. I doubt there's a pseudo class for "this thing I am dragging right now using a mousemove event listener," but maybe I'm wrong.

I agree with you, but the problem, the big problem, is that you're looked down if you propose to use simpler tools.

It is horribly difficult to not use these advanced tools for simpler problems. At work my team does just f**ng CRUD forms, and for doing this we have the most overcomplicated stack I've seen in my life. Go backend with React, Redux, Rxjs,custom.webpack craziness, and 32 tons of internal weird libraries no one would willingly use ever even if pointed with a gun.

If I propose to just use Rails for this and be done with it, I'd be declared and heretic and expulsed from the frontend team.

Why do people put up with Windows
That's why I judge it so harshly.
It’s a project based business model and isn’t particularly challenging to staff. For the field service portion of my business, I can tell you how many man hours at each title I need for the next 2-3 years. You know what you maintenance demand is and can project capital projects, because the business knows what capital money it’s borrowing.

End of the day, it’s more to do with accounting stuff like fixed asset inventory, risk management and keeping salaries and benefits low. It’s easier to fire a contractor or hire a shittier/cheaper one than deal with a bunch of employees. IMO, saving hard dollars isn’t a driver.

Sorry. I added a warning.

This is a different incident than the one mentioned in the article though. In that incident, the child was "discovered trapped under the machine and not breathing" and was hospitalized with a brain injury.. In this video, the child does get out from under the machine and walks away. Although the only difference between the two incidents is probably the ending... this child could have also easily become trapped.
General caveat that this is just my opinion and there are many ways to approach this. My view: I would focus far less on building projects and developing on-the-job skills prior to getting a job and far more on improving your interview skills. I'd do that through a combination of leetcode problems, mock interviews, and (most importantly), actual interviews. Without a CS degree or job experience as a software engineer, many companies just won't consider you regardless of how many side projects you have or technologies you can list in the "skills" section of your resume. The companies that will consider you, what will really matter IMO is how you actually perform in the interview. For better or worse, the skills that are necessary to be successful in tech interviews are generally different from on-the-job skills.

I would just apply to tons of companies (e.g. try to send out five applications a day, or something along those lines). Your skills as an interviewee will improve as you do interviews, until finally you get an offer you like :). Also, this is often a question of getting one offer, and then telling all the other companies you've applied to that you have an offer with a time limit to accelerate their processes. FOMO is real :)

All of this is predicated on being able to get interviews -- I'd expect a low hit rate, but if you're getting zero interviews, you'll need to adjust your approach and either improve your resume/cover letter or try a more personalized approach, like finding opportunities through your network or meetups, etc.

Re: jobs, I would apply to entry level positions. I would not apply to internships. I think your probability of getting internships vs. entry-level jobs is only slightly higher, so just go for entry-level. With entry level jobs, you're still going to be hired for your potential (not experience), which good companies recognize.

As for your resume, definitely keep it to one page.
> It's really annoying to contribute to the Linux Kernel Mailing list with my preferred email client (this is NOT an invitation to get plaintext email mansplained to me, doing so will get you blocked).

Heh. I really wish the kernel list would detect that a post has valid text and html content and just throw away the html rather than rejecting the whole thing. Plain text is, sadly, not a first class feature of most non-terminal email clients these days.

But any variant of proof-of-you-can-afford-to-buy-tons-of-expensive-hardware is just oligarchy with additional, economy and environment damaging, steps. PoS at least takes out the middlemen and lets you run your "crypto" "currency" without collateral damage while you figure out something better.
That is not actually true. Not in terms of how the person doing reading will perceive it. And not in terms of how world works.

Real world is not perfectly symmetrical. It is not composed of two sides in the first place. In the second, even if you roughly split it, it rare ends up as "both are the same". That ideology of perfect center is just emotionally convenient model.

First, you do not need to be the Russian intelligence services to pull off this attack. Given prevailing trends in the vulnerabilities market this sort of attack would cost at most $1M to pull of which puts it within the capabilities of maybe ~50,000,000 individuals worldwide let alone organizations. If the SVR is anything like the CIA they are probably running at least 1,000 programs of similar scale simultaneously, so it is not as if the attack was supported by the full weight of the Russian intelligence services.

Second, a company's threat model should include entities that want to attack them. Given that they are claiming the SVR wanted to and did attack them, it would be ridiculous to not include them since that would be empirical evidence that they are an actual threat actor. Even if we were to ignore empirical evidence any company like SolarWinds that sells to wide swaths of government agencies in critical capacities should absolutely be including foreign intelligence services in their threat models and should probably be required to demonstrate effectiveness against attacks funded to at least the $100M level since only at that level does it start to actually get problematic for state actors to run operations.
This story reminded me of something I lost about the same age. My grandfather was a surveyor and he gave me his compass. It was not an expensive one, though it was made of bronze. I took it with me to Los Angeles. I don't think it ever came back. But I don't know where I lost track of it. I wish I still had it to remember him by.
Captcha requires manual intervention, and potentially has the problem of being easy for bots but difficult for humans. A captcha for each email on even a small mailing list would be pretty horrible.
Yes, maybe change is a better term than degrade. The story was told in terms of the details in a memory changing a lot vs. remaining accurate.
> Our best bet is to create technology they cannot block. Make it impossible for them to enforce their ridiculous laws.

That won't do anything about the second and third order effects like DRM, not being able to choose your TV or game console's OS, etc.

What we really need is for the proletariat to stop putting up with this shit and take some power back from the borgois monopolists.
This looks like a typical startup disruption approach where they wanted to build the hardware from the ground up and didn't ask industry experts why something is done the way it is.
That's because you're running on a I/O device at 2 Billion Baud, instead of a 9600 baud device which is more era appropriate. At 9600, ^S/^Q is quite manageable.
Most people aren't as Machiavellian as your typical armchair industry analyst would suppose. If you accuse a board that their product is killing children, would you expect them to think "we better make sure our PR department covers this up as effectively as possible," or would you expect indignation and denial?
Fascinating to see the MS response.
Huh. I haven't had any issues with libraries that use CFFI.

I've had issues with pip and building from source being incredibly fragile before (in general, not an M1 specific thing), so I'm not that surprised, but unfortunately I don't really have any answers here.

The scientific calc package + cffi have installed normally since I got the M1 (mid February).

I did have an issue with PyQt5, where I had to link qmake in my .zshrc before it would build properly (and it had an incredibly unhelpful wheels error message), but that's been it so far.
ITYM they banned people for posting content encouraging violence and harassment, violating the terms of service.

> Multiple packages with the same name is due to popularity of the platform. Not really a chocolatey problem per se

I mean, it is a chocolatey, because they allow multiple packaged for the same software. I don't have this problem with scoop.

> You can use one with most downloads.

Sometimes it's that simple, but other times there are material differences between the packages, or multiple packages with about the same number of downloads. And then in the comments for package A you have people saying "this is rubbish, use package B instead!"... and of course, in the comments for package B you have people saying "this is rubbish, use package A instead!". Honestly, I can't be bothered with it - package managers are supposed to make things easier.

> Updates take forever ? What does that mean and why would you care tbh if it takes minute more or less as it is unattended ?

I didn't mean the time the actual install took, that's clearly nothing to do with chocolately - I meant that packages are often not updated by the maintainers.
> I guess that would sort of be like the opposite of DRAM - cells maintain state when undisturbed, but the "refresh" operation is lossy.

Shouldn't #5 be "not promoting your book effectively" because he's clearly promoting his book effectively. I think this is fine if fame and fortune are your goal, which is an unquestioned assumption for a lot of people, but there are other reasons to write a book, which he does not address.
What about the situations with banks or financial related field? I think a lot of people would prefer the site collect information to check for any irregularities on who is making accounts or logging in so they can be warned if anything stands out. Fraudulent accounts pass the cost to every other customer.

Maybe I haven't thought of every situation but don't you want to be able to prevent odd behavior to an account?
This is amazing - and incidentally has given me a solution to a very real problem.

My grandmother is suffering from dementia, and within the last few months has forgotten how to tune a radio. She's an avid radio listener, so I worked around this by buying her a few radios, tuning them, and labelling them - so she only has to hit the power button on the one she wants.

Unfortunately, she's not thrilled by how much space the set of radios takes up, and she's also at the edge of the coverage area for her favorite FM station.

Within the next few weeks, I'll definitely give this a shot with a Pi Zero W, and hopefully write something up on how workable of a solution this is for her.

I thought this was written in an open enough way to leave room for a wide range of takeaways, and it also seems fair to say the shop keeper was acting like a jerk. Not that he's obliged to serve a client who's looking for something so different from what the shop provides, but he could have been more pleasant, and just let the customer know he doesn't have what he's looking for.

I think there is a place in the world for people with specialized interests to have a shop that caters exclusively to other people who are deep into the hobby, and to be a little brusk to normies who wander in looking for something else. It sure would have been a lot nicer if the shop keeper just understood the situation and kindly explained "That's not what we do here", but, hey, not everybody's gonna be super nice. It's part of life.
Yes definitely. Here the "space" doesn't refer to physical space, but an abstract vector space that neuron's tuning represents. For example, there is a famous paper[1] that showed neurons could be responsive to abstract concepts -- for example, one might fire for "Bill Clinton" regardless of whether the stimulus is a photo of him, his name written as letters, or even (with weaker activation) photos/text of other members of his family or other concepts adjacent to him. The neuron's activity gives a vector in this high dimensional concept space, and that's the "space" GP is referring to.

I'd argue that since they brought you and your father closer together, and was something you spent time with him doing, they're priceless - what does it matter if they weren't a good investment monetarily, time, and especially time with people who you won't have in your life for the entire duration, is worth more, because no amount of money can buy more of it.
These differences mostly come down to package manager variations, which should be one of the main considerations when picking out a distro in the first place. My personal advice is to use Arch/Manjaro with pacman, and avoid all snaps/flatpaks. The AUR is designed for people to integrate these apps like Spotify and Bitwig into the proper locations, instead of snaps and flatpaks making their own folders and such.
You're off here by millions and millions of dollars. This case is worth much, much more in the court of public opinion to Peloton than in actual court. People generally agree with the first version of the story they hear. In 2021, saying "no comment" (instead of this equally say-nothing statement that at least shapes the narrative) is just handing that opportunity away.

Thirty years ago, "no comment" could buy you some time and you could present your case later in primetime (or whatever you could land) to lots of first-time impressions. In 2021, it's almost always a stupid thing to say from a PR standpoint (I'm sure some lawyers would still love it) because everything is always-on and there's almost no element of timing aside from burying stories on Friday.
correct answer is to apologize, acknowledge the problem, and outline a solution.
And yet this title seems to capture the content quite adequately.
Pre-2013 was a wild time on the internet. It seems like that’s when a lot of its nasty underbelly went mainstream.

The Snowden leaks were a turning point, I think, when people realized “the NSA and corporations are spying on you” wasn’t just a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory.

It’s mind blowing to think that most major sites on the internet (including Amazon) were not using HTTPS at that time. It’s possible Amazon used it on its payment pages, but it certainly didn’t for much of the site. Tools like FireSheep existed for years before anyone started to care that everyone from your coffeeshop to your ISP could read your plaintext traffic.

Now 9 years later we’re finally about to fix DNS (albeit with protocols hostile to reverse engineering). Then hopefully up next is fixing BGP before the bad guys realize how absurdly vulnerable it is.

All this is to say, Facebook could maybe be excused for this experiment, because our standards for “that’s messed up” were already so much lower in 2012 than they are now.

Perhaps it is honest rather than embellished. I have had similar experiences with bike shops. Some seem to be more interested in converting or repulsing customers who don't fit their definition of serious.

That being said, the author did walk into the shop with a rather difficult request. How do you recreate something personal?
