I wouldn't say there were deep ties, but there certainly were some. Only older people remember those ties now. You will find comments by such people on Youtube clips of old Hindustani songs. Not just Russia, they come from other ex-Soviet states as well. I've talked to some younger Russians, and they can sometimes recognize these tunes, but have no idea about their origin.

What I learned of the VoIP hacker scene by setting up a SIP Honeypot
It's really funny that these people are incorporating pro-life arguments now. Cultural horseshoe theory.
> or we could work on better energy storage and distribution technologies

That's a "both and" issue. An energy generator could hypothetically mine cryptocurrencies to buffer their excess-power periods right now with little capital investment, whereas developing new storage technology is an expensive and long-term problem.

> Why do you think Bitcoin miners would shut their operations down during periods of high demand in any regulatory environment

A non-criminal bitcoin miner (the argument applies to any other proof-of-work coin in the same way) will reduce their mining effort if the marginal cost of mining (the power bill) is larger than the reward from doing so (mining rewards plus transaction fees).

The problem then is one of value, but cryptocurrency valuations aren't fixed. If the price of bitcoin durably collapses for some reason, miners will turn off their rigs and the energy cost per coin will fall. (Note that I'm not a "bitcoin bull," but I also know better than to predict future prices with false confidence.)
Can you share the data that shows that car battery fires are "safer" then car petrol tank fires?
Wow. I’ve seen almost the exact opposite. In my 30 year career almost all bonuses were met or exceeded and paid.
Most of the devices on the internet don't even know the packets they are forwarding are TCP/UDP let alone care about which port number is being used.
How is it that no such scandal has been uncovered? Surely by now some hacker would have been able to prove that a phone is recording, sending to server, processing, and returning relevant ad. Or surely someone would have come forward or whistle blown by now. So I'll quote Hitchen's razor for you:

"What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence."
Assuming I'm not building a UWP app, how do I build an MSIX. The only thing I found was the MSIX packaging tool and the description is this:

"You can run your desktop application installers through this tool and obtain an MSIX package that you can install on your machine or upload to the Microsoft Store. "

Gross.
Running is arguably one of the worst things you can do to your body, despite it's efficacy in improving your cardio performance. It's bad on your joints, your bones etc. Swimming and cycling are much much better.
I really like Sid Meir's Railroad Tycoon. I have tons of memories in summer fighting with my brother over computer time to play this game. I used to play a pirated copy back in highschool (Did not have money to buy the game, certainly didn't have a credit/debit card to do online transaction, downloaded it in an Internet cafe and brought it back on pendrive to play on home PC).

Recently I remembered that I used to play this game a lot. Now that I have a job and can pay for stuff online I bought a copy for myself on steam.
What are the gobs of money and power that came in the 80s and 90s?
The complex reality of global supply chains works against this.

We would have to further "break" the fungibility of goods and money to truly enforce this, and ensure we have full provenance and reporting along the supply chain. This does exist in a lot of cases but is complex to enforce and subject to laundering.

Chips from X, materials from Y, finished in country Z. Of course complex modern products can have hundreds of suppliers or more in a tree fanning backwards. Compositions backwards in supply chain can change quickly based on cost of materials or output of Bangalore factory vs Taiwan factory in a particular month, for example.

"Comes from China" is not a binary proposition and if you try to assign a percentage you can come up with many different numbers, all of which can vary over time.

Also, is Taiwan part of China in the labelling scheme? Who makes the decision that e.g. Xinjiang uses slave labour? Is the information provided to the consumer "value neutral" and then you provide a lens on top? Or is there a political body writing the values? Who, exactly? If it's an international forum, is China invited?

Consumers might want to decide based on their sense of global justice, their environmental awareness, their opposition to authoritarian regimes, the presence/absence of potentially harmful substances, religious preference or along many other axes.

Companies with ESG frameworks are having a bear of a time just eliminating e.g. modern slavery from their supply chains, and they have a bunch of leverage with their suppliers and more insight than their customers.

I don't like the lack of information about what we buy either but I'm not sure that fully politicising every purchase is an easy answer.
How much of that still holds true after all 21.6 million coins have been mined?
Makes sense. For me, I like to get hobby projects for my own personal use. The "publishing" involves pushing it to github, then doing absolutely nothing additional with it. But because I use it on my own, I may want to add more features to it later.

For frameworks, I'm sure they save time once you are familiar with them, but that also requires evaluating which frameworks to use and how to go about using them. That ends up taking a lot more time than throwing something together with plain JS.

That definitely makes sense, especially if you're using the hobby projects to learn about frameworks that you'll later use elsewhere. I tend to do the same thing on the compiled side, trying out different libraries and languages. (For example, picking up Rust for last December's Advent of Code challenges, then porting some of my other projects over to make some performance comparisons.)

Part of this is also that my dayjob has very little interaction with JS. If/when I use JS in my dayjob, I'm usually picking something minimal so that it can be used/expanded on by others without framework-specific JS knowledge. My goal is to make sure that I leave behind a codebase that can be read/understood by as many people as possible, which may mean picking a software stack that has a bit worse usability, in exchange for ease of finding developers.
It's definitely bizarre to focus ONLY on "complete collections". WTF! It kind of speaks to making EVERYTHING about money and some bizarre and screwed up ideals as well.

I have a pretty decent stamp collection that I inherited from my father who collected stamps since 1940 up to shortly before he died. He picked up stamps partially based on historical relevance (so NOT 100% from any one country - but for example he liked the inter-war stamps of countries involved in WW2) and then because he thought some were simply pretty. He easily spent $200K on stamps over his lifetime.

The obsession with 100% of everything seems OCD to me - not healthy.

I also collect rocks and minerals - I don't try to collect "one of everything" but rather simply what either looks cool or that is chemically/geologically fascinating to me.

I don’t think this is exactly the same arrangement - the belt goes “all the way around” on this where the pinch point is between the belt and the ground rather than the belt and the internals of the sander.

Here the force is the weight of the peloton unit, rather than the motor pulling you into a fixed width gap.

Shitty diagram to show what I mean: https://imgur.com/a/TstPxtb

The belt on the peloton doesn’t go inside the device, it runs fully on the outside all the way around and underneath.
> you seem to think formalizing "buy low, sell high" and "keep your savings on the right side of zero" would somehow deter the general population from doing the opposite

I’d be happy to provide specifics on what I “think”, but I’m not sure if it would be a productive conversation. You keep responding in bad faith. No where did I write anything about buying low and selling high or “keeping your savings on the right side of zero”. I don’t even know what that means. Can you please show me where I wrote that?

It seems like you’re against teaching children financial literacy, and you don’t actually care to listen or understand what it might even mean. Your definition is teaching kids “buy low, sell high” - you are confidently uninformed on the topic.

In all seriousness, your behavior in jumping to conclusions about what the other person is saying and trying to tell them they’re wrong without even hearing them out — this is cyber bullying. I’m going to stop engaging with you here, full stop.
"Safe" and "unsafe" is quite orthogonal to the ABI stability issue. Whether a library call is "safe" has to do with on what constraints have been placed on the library code, not what ABI is used.
For me it’s not a question of either or. In or out.

I limit my exposure to 10%. Hate crypto or not, it’s earned its right to be treated as a legitimate investment class. The reason to diversify are due to the exact same reasons you’re expressing. If I were to liquidate my positions, I’d do so over a period of time rather than all at once - likely keeping some exposure.

IMO, if you’re investing in any equity trying to “time it,” or get rich quick, you’re taking as big of a risk as having exposure in crypto to begin with.
Specifically it made sex trafficking victims harder to rescue, by eliminating the means that LEO used to find them.

Evidence indicates that lawmakers don't care about victims in a meaningfully helpful way. They absolutely crave the power/cash that anti-trafficking rhetoric brings.

A competent press would examine the history of trafficking laws and report the actual outcomes - instead of parroting the PR that pols hand to them.
Great set of tips.

On a side note, I wish the site had a simple, easy to read fonts option similar to the switchable light/dark mode.
Me too! I call it "hamster wheel exercise" (not sure where I heard that term). Bike commuting to work feels very different than simply biking in a circle after work.

Pandemic has not been kind to the bathroom scale. I lost my regular exercise but my diet got worse from stress eating.
I know, and it's just one of my tinfoil hat theory, but the fact that they haven't banned it already, or the USDT on some obvious money laundering issues, just fules my paranoia that taking over the future dominant crypto is more beneficial than just banning it now.
Ok, there’s just so many facts contrary to all normal experiences, so I’d like to see some sources. For example, I can easily work twelve hours per day while painting the facades of my home, without being mentally fatigued, only bored. But my body is surely sore after climbing up and down stairs all day. On the other hand, I’m hardly capable of doing six hours of really focused mental work per day.

In mice with tooth agenesis.

I'll get excited when it shows similar results in, say, a human hockey player.
I'm sure avoiding to trying to use "prostitutes" plays a part in using the term "sex worker" (this is after a PR battle - "prostitute" is a far more loaded term than sex worker... for now).

But typically sex workers can also include porn actors, strippers, web-camers (if you want to count them separately from porn actors) and other professions.

Basically it's both a broader term, as well as a PR move.
Who is this mysterious evictor/enforcer?

Also, you are ignoring the fact that, at least where I live, only one entity can legally evict a tenant - the county sheriff (in their role as an agent of the court). You cant just hire some random thugs.
Some open source product owners have understood the value of not tracking their users. Others, it seems, still think it's a benign thing to do.

To be more constructive: if you need data, ask your users to enable telemetry (or in this case, provenance parameters). Some will understand what you need, and you'll get a usable sample from those users.
Yes, yes, it is similar, and I maybe didn't get that across as well as I could have. JS is the default (for good reasons!), but IME if we're talking about game engines aimed at beginners that are suitable for getting programming concepts across, I feel a [synchronous] game loop is often easier to get across conceptually, to build on. And then yes, definitely framing it in the same way works really well because when they get stuck, you can point them at that and say "well you've already done something really similar here, here's the comparison, {unpack how the async stuff is working by framing it in the same way}, you should be able to now link these concepts together"

(Apologies to other commenters as well! I got a little bit salty when people mentioned async in relation to beginner programmers because it's not a simple thing. It's abstract and doesn't really make a bunch of sense until the beginner has built a floor of very basic programming to stand on)

You do realize that the community needs to propose and sponsor these options, right?

Fewer people being willing to propose a pro-RMS option is an indication of which way the tide is moving, even if you still want to argue about why this might be the case.

You can run _flat out_ for an hour, or you can just skip the french fries with lunch. I found the latter to be orders of magnitude easier to accomplish on a day-to-day basis.
china is one of the countries that we in america get propagandized to about. when i hear things about china, russia, venezuela, north korea, cuba, iran, and probably some i've missed, i assume i've recieved no information from what i've heard.
You hit the nail on the head. Talking to the customer in some way shape or form should be the first step that informs whether you take a more product or sales led approach and more importantly /why/. Without a customer centric approach, all you end up with is (as you point out) a solution in search of a problem -- a poor place to be.
I imagine they mean there is a collection of qubits interpreted as storing an integer (would be storing an integer if they were mere bits)

And so the qubit for the least significant bit, would be the one for the 1s place.

I could be wrong though
Funny related story: For an internship, I worked on a app that would show your sleep data in a nice visualization (this was for a smartwatch). I implemented a basic version, and used it for a few weeks. It seemed to work fine for me, so I released a beta version for others in the company to dog food.

Within a day, I got a bug report from a coworker that it rendered incorrectly for them. I was pretty surprised, since I had been using it for a long enough that I would have expected to encounter all the edge cases.

I dug into the code, and realized that this bug only happened if you went to sleep before midnight, which I never did...

You can look at the Majority results if you want to say how many people think an option is acceptable. That ratio is also in the graph. For option 1, 203 people indicated that it's acceptable, 186 said it was unacceptable, leaving 31 that didn't say anything about it. The 203/186=1.09 is in the graph. You could also see that as 52% find that option acceptable.

You've lost the trust of people reading this thread just as much as you lost the trust of your team when you couldn't find a way to be appropriately transparent with them. For a problem that affects them daily, you can't really leave it at, it just is what it is.

You can say there was a medical issue, or a discrimination issue, or nepotism. If you say nothing, people have to assume the worst.

The worst in this case is probably people assuming you didn't try very hard to fire them.
ES6 Arrow Function Syntax Explained Simply
Literally the current top comment for this article explains how WebGL values are used to more accurately determine which video stream is best to send to the video player, since other methods can return inaccurate or insufficient information. Because you want to make sure the video format has hardware acceleration for decoding, to not destroy a mobile user's battery.

So that's how they're related.

And let's not assume guilt and then require proving innocence? It works the other way around. It's the burden of the person making the accusation to form a strong case. Which is not done here at all.
What evidence can you point to? Genuinely curious, not shitposting.
The problem is that people continue to use words like "left" and "liberal" as a vague proxy for party platforms, but it was never a one dimensional axis like that.

For example, twenty years ago you would expect to find Democrats arguing for "liberal" values like free speech and due process, and Republicans arguing for globalist foreign policy and military interventionism. Now it's going the other way. But which party is captured by the teachers unions and which party is captured by the oil companies hasn't changed, because it's not a one dimensional problem space.
I don't really understand why author treats Flink datastream API as "high temporal locality" and "can't express our running example". Windowing operators provided by Flink are just an one way of using datastream, and you can easily express any operations you want using something like KeyedProcessFunction and manually manipulating the state.
Naming gets far worse than that. I've worked on code where the naming was not just unhelpful, it was outright misleading. One of the worst I remember was a project which unsurprisingly was named after a game of thrones character. As I never watched game of thrones it took me about two weeks before I could even remember the stupid name, during which time I was also dumbfounded as to how the program worked until I realised the naming in the code was equally bad, completely misleading. Then there's the place where the stg1 environment was actually the dev0 environment...

I can't find a link at the moment, but there was an article on Hacker News a few years ago defending the use of plain text web pages with minimal styling. The page loaded amazingly fast, rendered well on both desktop and mobile, and had fast interactions with the page. The author had also included the full text of Moby Dick, more content than is ever served in a typical webpage. It was a fun and cheeky demonstration that it isn't the content of a webpage that results in poor performance, but all the frameworks, ad targeting, and client-side compiling of a webpage.

(Side rant: I refuse to use the term "client-side rendering", because dang it, "rendering" makes an image. "Client-side rendering" as web developers use the term doesn't actually render anything, but instead compiles the page down to HTML, which is then rendered by the browser.)
Treating developers like loot crates is the surest way to turn your company into a shitshow.

Feature chasing needs to have very coarse data attached to it:

- how many overpromised features attracted revenue?

- how many delivered overpromises features didn't win the potential customer?

That last one is about 80% for my career.
You can hang out with bike riders in a club or riding group, and you'll see this the very first day!

There's ALWAYS one guy talking about his new top-end Cannondale or about how he's using a carbon fiber frame because the titanium frame was so obviously too heavy. They often spend more time on this than actually riding.

These guys (it's usually guys) will also be the first to snear at your econo-bike that you bought just to try out the hobby.

Strictly speaking for stuff like amateur radio, I get it - I'm more interested in the building of equipment than the using. But it's not the mean of the hobby; more of an outlier and it's best to realize that and check your ego/expectations of others who may enjoy other parts of it.
As a long-distance cyclist, I've gotta say, it sounds like you walk slow. I'm a fast walker, and I can get excellent cardio on pretty much anything but a downhill route (which, I'll admit, my natural pace turns into a light jog down steeper hills). But, personal bias, I've never lived anywhere that hills could be avoided.

Walking and running are both good for cardio and long term health, but running has higher wear and tear on the body. Cycling is also great, but comes with its own risks of accidental (or malicious) injury or death

I totally agree. I'm amazed by how opaque and difficult to understand the process to create debian packages is because of all the various layers/helpers/tools that can/should be used in different cases and the difficulty in customizing things. There's a slew of interacting tooling (`dpkg`,`dpkg-buildpackage`, `debhelper`, each of the debhelper `dh-*` helpers, `sbuild`, `pbuilder`, `git-buildpackage`) that all has different documentation of varying quality, some of it replaces other pieces, etc.

My best experiences with packaging on linux have been gentoo ebuilds & arch pkgbuilds. These keep the build model pretty straight forward if the goal is to "just build a package".

That said: creating a dpkg is not an impossible thing to do. It's just more painful than it needs to be

It's actually possible to evoke some interesting responses from the algorithms by reducing the amount of data input.

For example: When I set up a new facebook account for my mother (at her explicit wish), she had no friends or interests marked yet. Facebook showed her some random ads and posts.

During the setup I was scrolling through her timeline and my phone beeped so I stopped scrolling for about 2 seconds. The post shown was a random post about some fish.

When I picked it up, I saw it quickly replacing the next random post with something about the same kind of fish. So evidently it even looks at how long you look at certain content to determine your interests.

I suppose it is possible to derive other algorithmic determinations using similar methods.
