That's mostly because women can never be openly "on the market", though. They don't openly look for or solicit sex. There must always be reasonable doubt about their motives, hence "I'm just on there for a laugh" or "I'm only going to his bachelor pad for a drink".
For a big organization, this now means two more audit sessions with IT security, which means about 5-7 hours of meetings spent with them, only for them to then decide that the bot does not adhere to the obscure, 1990s-era document ITSEC-37893/378B section A.epsilon subsection D7 ("Auditability of automatic functionality by certified public accountants") which was written by some legalese zombie who last saw a computer in the 1960s and which reasonable people agree is not something that's relevant to the use-case - but ITSecurity won't budge and has veto powers.

Large organizations are far more likely to buy a solution that works for 80% of the use-cases out of the box, and then live with not fulfilling the other 20% by training their users around it (and constantly complain about the users) - especially if that means you can move accountability to the supplier in the contract. WHICH 80% of functionality is important is decided by what you best can sell to top management.

The sweet spot for quick decisions and technological adaptions are SMBs up to about 500 employees.
This is one of the best summaries of this thought process I have read.
Basically every platform and framework has good salting and hashing built in. Usually it's scrypt, bcrypt or agron2.
clang-include-fixer is the better tool for that: https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-include-fixer.html
I feel these kind of solutions where the hard shoulder is used as an extra lane are used to sneak in widening roads.

When an extra lane is suggested, NIMBY and/or environmental concerns will immediately raise objections and kill the proposal. So instead, the idea is to use the existing road in a more "efficient" way by making it "smart". This is of course ok, as it's not like we're adding any road, just using the existing road in a better way. After some time, accidents happen and people clamor for a hard shoulder, which should be ok environmentally as its not adding extra road, its just a hard shoulder for safety and not meant to drive on (and who can object to safety). And in the two step process, somehow we ended up with a widened road whilst completely avoiding the discussion if we want a wider road or not.

I sometimes also use this tactic in software if the PO's are non cooperative. First build the feature but hide it in a dev menu/behind a feature flag. No harm adding a feature if it's not available right? And then some time after it was implemented without explicit approval, I propose to enable the feature at zero cost, it is already implemented anyway.

You can also view the idea of smart roads in a more benign way of course. As cheaper way to experiment if adding an extra lane could be worth it. In the Netherlands it is done a lot, usually only during rush hour. It is then often paired with a stricter speed limit, so when the 4th lane is open the speed limit is 100km/h instead of 130km/h. But as the speed limit is 100km/h during day time anyways this is less of a change than it used to be.
There are some schemes with automatic detection of stranded vehicles and lane closure. These work well. But some of the schemes rely on humans looking at cameras to spot people and shut lanes. This has left people sat in live lanes for 20+ minutes, eventually someone isn't paying attention and hits them.
To be fair, young and healthy and Covid 19 vaccine tread the waters of “reasonableness” when combined.

The risk profiles in either direction are so small it’s very hard to discern a meaningful pattern. It probably just doesn’t matter at all what you do.
I live in the Netherlands and they've been doing it here for a while, but they've called it differently (a 'spitsstrook', or a 'rush hour lane') which is opening up the hard shoulder for traffic during rush hour. There's no pretense of it being 'smart' anywhere, they had to in some places because the pressure of traffic is too high and widening the road is not an option.
A domain where its default home page is a PDF? That's a new one...

ps. And I'm not buying the "environmentally friendly" argument until proof-of-stake is actually live and completely displaces PoW in mainline production.
But if the travel was for sales? Can't take the client out for a fancy lunch via teleconference.

Maybe it's because I work in web tech and not something more glamorous but I've never worked with anyone who actually liked being taken out for lunch by a salesperson. Everyone knows it's all fake. The client knows that they're paying because the cost of the lunch gets added to the price. The salesperson knows the lunch isn't actually going to swing a deal their way. I don't really understand why people go through with it.

If I employed someone who was willing to sign a contract because they'd had a fancy lunch I'd be skeptical that they're capable of assessing a purchase properly.
You don't need `async` here, since your function explicitly returns a promise.
So maybe ask your friend to take off the AirTag if you have to borrow their keys for more than a few days?
> Finnish and Polish are relatively easy if you know Estonian or Czech

For me (a Czech person) Polish is like Czech with a ridiculously funny accent, lots of different words, but a very familiar structure.

Estonian or Finnish are totally alien, I wouldn't be able to tell whether a speech was about today's breakfast or a declaration of war.
93% is generally evidence of consensus among the sampled group at that time. That time is past, but here and on Wikipedia there are people arguing there is currently a consensus among "economists" (unqualified). So far I have not seen anything I would count as a current consensus, and I don't believe there is one.

It's also worth noticing a bait and switch here. The former consensus was that hard rent ceilings reduce the quality and quantity of supply. Then you see claims that its uncontroversial Econ 101 that any kind of rent control is bad for cities. If justification for the latter claim is sought, it is justified by the past-expiry-date evidence for the former claim. It's a good example of what Scott Alexander calls a motte and bailey argument.
I agree; even I, a tech person who does quite a bit of (pre)sales thinks that. But it did work fine in 2020. I believe sales will go back to travelling, but many other roles that 'did not work if not in person' or 'where less inefficient remotely' seem to work fine remotely and might stay remotely (for many reasons).
iPad Air? But any non-Pro iPad is ok if you don’t mind much about the bezels and the less spectacular display.
In general, if you have just one intended use for a tablet as a “smart lightweight device with a display”, and that use isn’t tied to an App Store app, then Android tablets are worth checking. The high-quality display might be a bit more of a problem, though, unless you go for a product with a similar price range. If you have other Apple products, the ecosystem advantage is huge.
Which then raises the question, where was all this extra money going to come from?
And why wouldn't an M1 laptop fill this use case?
So when purchasing Visual Studio subscription in order to write software for windows, you expect nothing to work out of the box? I'd love to see you tackle a WPF monolith within a regulated environment where no 3rd party libs are allowed.

It's 2021, we're expected to deliver amazing, feature rich software in very little time, without buying 3rd party libraries.

Meanwhile, there's Microsoft, using the funds from our subscriptions and building stuff like Xamarin Forms and abandoning it half-way through. I wish they'd spend less time fooling around, and more time improving the tools that have become bread and butter.
the problem isn't necessarily in the abstraction. It's in the language design. Terraform (HCL) started off as a declarative language. Then people wanted string concatenation. Then conditionals. Then modules. You end up with this kludge of a language that benefits from none of the foresight of having been designed as a general purpose programming language from the outset -- no unit testing, poor control structures, etc.
What? That number is huge!
400k for series A?
Most of the startups are raising our 10 million for series A these days.
I think the primary reason interest rates are high in crypto lending right now (also on USD stablecoins) is leveraged speculation - people using crypto as collateral to leverage their crypto positions higher (and/or yield farm) and are prepared to pay a relatively high interest rate for it (~10% on stablecoins) because the expected gains are a fair bit higher.

I don’t expect this will last forever
It's a tradeoff though, because opening up the hard shoulder alleviates pressure on the other lanes, thus (theoretically) reducing traffic jams.

It's a patch though, it alleviates some of the symptoms but the underlying problem that is much more difficult to stop is commuting and travel in general. I'm kinda glad we've been forced into a work-from-home experiment the past year, it gives hard data on WFH's effect on traffic pressure. But it's not enough.

I think companies should be incentivized to open up smaller offices across the country, and people incentivized to live where they work / work where they live. Which will mean bringing the 'good' jobs out of the cities.
Specifically the CRS305-1G-4S+IN, a great little switch and can run either RouterOS or SwOS. Pair with some decent copper DAC twinax from fs.com and you're all set, the only problem is reliable access to < $200 NIC cards that doesn't require eBay.
What is crypto replacing really? I’ve yet to read even a fair explanation without mental gymnastics. And I’ve been waiting to the last ten years.
It's not likely to happen, but I wish Apple would provide an API for UWB and NFC. I've got the watch, and it would be really fun to tinker with this along with my home automation setup.
That's a good point, but sadly not how tools like terraform marketing themselves. If terraform markets itself as "we make clean up easier for that 10% of time when you need it, and to achieve that goal, we give you 3 times more headache by asking you to keep states", I am sure many more people wouldn't make the trade-off.
I have something that I call 'Potato-Law' for this.

It's like how the potatoes in discounters always say 'premium quality' or 'premium potatoes' but if they are, they wouldn't be so cheap or you couldn't buy them at the discounter. OTOH, if you go to a specialty goods shop, they don't write premium on their products. So if something has to be labeled on how good it is, it's probably not.
Yes. And Fox could have been forced to air criticism, and in both cases fewer Americans would live in echo chambers.

Media partisanship is misinforming and dividing Americans.
Sure, and memory bandwidth can be a bottleneck for GPUs. But it will be a 100x worse bottleneck for Cerebras because the ratio of compute to DRAM bandwidth is that much higher.
Show HN:I personally created a web service in japan. Please review if you like.
Microsoft is just so bad at naming things. ".net framework" means versions of .net before version 5. Version 5 is of course also .net and it is a framework, but apparently it is not ".net framework", since this term refers to the versions up to 4.x.

Take "Enterprise Framework" (EF) and "EF Core". These are two independent ORM frameworks. From the names you would probably expect either that "EF Core" was the core of EF or that EF Core was a version of EF which ran on ".Net Core" (the previous name for .net 5). Neither is true - the frameworks are independent and both run on both .net 4.x and .net core/5. Apparently "core" just means "new incompatible version".

And how about ".net standard"? .Net Standard 2.0 was the standard API which was available with both .net 4.x and .net core/5. But from .net Standard 2.1, it was not compatible with .net framework anymore, which meant it wasn't standard anymore.

The actual technologies like C#, the BCL and EF Core are great, don't get me wrong, but the naming is so confusing.
Windows 10 consistently gets updates just like Mac OS gets updates.

This is like saying Mac OS X is 10 year old software.
3.5 billion from J.P. Morgan for a start, and in the future all those T.V. rights (no need to share money with the lesser clubs), many more matches (ESL proposed a league system as a first round, so many more games), and all kinds of merchandising and...
I’ll be blunt: a stalker is going to find tools to do stalking without apples help. Far more people just lost out on a super easy pet tracker because of a glorified “think of the children argument”.

This is a great post let down by the need to inject some lame shots at the Tories. A quick Google search shows that smart motorways first came about under a Labour government, and were extended several times during their tenure.
That's why I (a Polish person) love Czech people - we can have a great fun just by speaking on the most mundane things. Every (even the most boring) Czech sentence is funnier than the best joke spoken in English ;)
VS for Mac is becoming an actual native app in the upcoming VS 2022, so progress is at least being made there!
If the issue is whether PoS will work is troubling you: other PoS chains like Algorand have been successfully running for well over a year. Seems in no doubt.
Yeah that would be cool, the Hubble telescope has been massively successful but I would have thought there would be much more projects like that. The James Webb one will be next, but I feel like that one's really risky; they took years to develop and build it, and it's going out to a point of space where it's infeasible to send someone up there to fix it if there is a problem.

A ring of radio telescopes in high orbit would be neat.
It would depend on how is done.

Here there is a video with a good explanation by Warren Mosler. It mentions the appreciation effect that you comment about:

I'm not sure why you say that. There is no evidence supporting this in Apple's documentation or any protocol reverse-engineering literature I've read on this. Further, Apple's own marketing shows an AirTag being tracked around San Francisco.
So cannibalising all smaller clubs to make the big ones bigger, to the sole benefit of shareholders.

I think I won't mind this scheme collapsing.
The article conveniently left out one of the most important reasons holding BTC could be valuable - beating inflation and government currency controls.

The US is on a money printing spree and many are expecting high inflation. If you want to park your money and ensure it keeps growing in value to counteract inflation BTC seems like a good way to do it. In some countries, these effects are way more pronounced where inflation is significantly higher and capital controls are so stringent that you have limits on how many dollars you can take out of the country or what you can buy online with a credit card. In these countries, they don't want you to save in dollars because it keeps devaluing the local currency. In fact, they make it incredibly difficult to even get access to dollars. So what are you to do if you work hard, make money, and want to save? You know that your money is getting discounted every single year.
>Guaranteed placement in the league, no risk of demotion.

I can see it from the clubs point of view, but the risk of demotion adds excitement. Imagine the NFL if the two worst teams got demoted.
A good example of this is stamp collecting. A grandparent carefully collected stamp albums for his grandchildren. They are now pretty much worthless, because the fashion for stamp collecting has gone. I hope he enjoyed the process of collecting.
I would love to drive a dumb car that doesn't pollute the air. Alas.

Godot: Best Practices for Engine Contributors
I was half-expecting an OS where you delete a file by completing lines with the right Tetris pieces.
You're right - I hadn't seen that in the Q&A, so I appreciate you pointing it out.

Listen, at the end of the day, it's their legal right to choose the licensing strategy that they think is right for their business, shareholders, employees, customers, peace of mind, etc. I feel like asking if it's hypocritical is a bit of a straw man, though. It's not hypocritical per se - I just feel that it's a bit disingenuous to say "hey, we have this large, successful business to protect" without also openly acknowledging that it may never have existed without the tailwinds of an era where the open source community embraced permissive licenses. Simply dismissing the question as "hypothetical" is what I take issue with.

Also, I see your shiny, new account and feel it's likely that you are really just here to defend Grafana. I get it. I don't think this change is a bad idea, necessarily. I just want some of these licensing shenanigans to be more brutally honest.
For many of the clubs in the ESL a major problem is that participation in the champions league is not guaranteed. Currently, the top four clubs from the English Premier League qualify for the following season's Champion's League. The EPL currently has six "big" clubs who agreed to participate in the ESL - some of which have not qualified for the CL in quite a few years. The ESL would have guaranteed their participation every year.

I'm glad the ESL idea has fallen through as it seemed to be poorly thought out, but I hope this doesn't stop all attempts at innovation in European football. I think there are far too many uncompetitive games (both in the CL and EPL), and I'm quite fed up of the top teams buying up all the best talent, even just to sit on the bench.
Those are some of the hardest languages to learn but that's only really true for a monolingual English speaker.

When it comes to how difficult a language is to learn it depends greatly on what languages you already know and how distantly related (if at all) the new language you want to learn is from a language you already speak, shared language features or phonology or vocabulary also help out as well, etc.

For example while Polish may be difficult for an English speaker it does share some mutual intelligibility with Slovak and Czech, likewise with Finnish and Estonian. Chinese and Japanese are two very different languages but Japanese makes extensive use of Kanji/Hanzi, being fluent in one of these will help you understand the written language of the other faster and knowing either will give you a significant leg up in learning the other over somebody who only speaks English.
It should be again like this. I only truly understood C after I wrote my own fully functional Operating System (e.g. paging, interrupts, user mode, multitasking and multicore etc.) and got it running on bare metal. Programming other things in C now often feels like when you beat the final level in recent Mario games ("Champions Road") and replay the core game again, it just flows is easy and highly enjoyable.

I'd recommend every serious programmer to write their own OS.
It is known as a false dichotomy, and it is extremely common.

A true dichotomy would be more along the lines of: he is right or he is wrong.

Of course all possibilities subdivide, if he is wrong he is knowingly wrong and a liar or he made mistakes and too grandiose claims. Even if he is right, he could be right for the wrong reasons: his conclusions could be unsupported by his premises & evidence but still correct.
I love it, and I’m no Wolfram cheerleader. It’s proper 6am acid epiphany. In one essay he’s opened up my mind considerably, and even if he’s wrong, I’m so glad there are people who have this kind of ambition.
Isso works great. Install and forget!
I'd recommend skipping ADO and learn Dapper/EF Core (this is harder to learn because its huge)
I'm not an expert, but I don't think this is how
stalking works in practice. People don't stalk random
strangers they meet in the supermarket. They stalk
former partners, and (more rarely) people they've
developed an obsession about.

Well, yeah -- I agree 100% that this is existing predator behavior, and most crimes will continue to be committed by a person known to the victim.

However, if not properly safeguarded, this sort of tech clearly can enable some new types of bad behavior.

Ultimately I'm a technology optimist and we shouldn't reject new tech simply because it might be misused. However it's also true that even the most cursory glance at history shows us that just about any new technology is also used for nefarious purposes.
I dislike the idea of trading carbon credits because it implicitly assumes that all the damage caused by greenhouse gas emissions is reversible. Sure, on a long enough time scale, it is a chemical process where the carbon dioxide emitted today is captured back into the ground. However, the loss of animal and plant life and the negative impacts on human beings are not reversible within the timespans of relevant entities. A family that loses their home because of rising sea levels submerging their home will likely never live in that home ever again in their lifetime.

I find it weird that one company can trade away a taxpayer-funded subsidy allocated to them another company and claim it as a profit. On what basis was the subsidy granted to the first company in the first place?
The game server admin also sees your IP address though?
So unless you are only hanging out on discord and not actually playing you are still exposing your IP address.

Also only the voice server admin sees the IP address and not every user on the server, so your scheme wouldn't really work either.
That's the theory of cap and trade. It's not how it works in any real-world setting.
I can understand that J.P. Morgan didn't understand what a big deal it was.

But you really have to wonder what goes on in the heads of club owners in Spain, Italy and the UK that they thought they could get away with it.

EDIT: And whoever is surprised that politicians of the calibre of B. Johnson and E. Macron are getting involved has badly misjudged how important the INSTITUTION of football/soccer is to Europeans. As a sport, a social activity, an actual competition however crooked, not TV entertainment.

> At the root of that failure is a lack of building, especially near the thriving cities in which jobs are plentiful.

Well then get at the root of the root of the failure and stop artificially cramping jobs up in cities. Living closer and denser with people ends in misery for everyone and disconnects people even more from the world they actually depend on.
I mean the labels "left" and "right" themselves are to describe binary leaning aka "radical". Normal people would "lean left" on some issues and "right" on some others, to varying degrees, hence would not be so easily identified as such.
