I don't think we are particularly individualistic, at least in the cities. Moreso as you head out into the bush, but that's true everywhere.

I suspect it's a hangover from our earlier days, which were recent enough they still live on in popular culture. Also it's not an image we've exactly tried to suppress, since outside of an event like covid it's generally seen as a positive thing.
This is a lazy fix. Why don't you asses reputation of users? I have a decade of history on my GitHub account with lots of projects and contributions. Why should my PR not run CI if I make a change to a new repository?

I bet they invited a huge team of machine learning and "AI" experts to do those user assessments that will launch in fall of 2029. Those models will always fail in one of or two edge cases and will cause embarrassments.
100% spot on. Almost exactly how I saw things go where I am, including the flip-flopping on masks/gloves.
Yeah, it may be a bit optimistic/naive of me to assume that Uber's success was despite this behavior, not positively correlated to it.
> Tesla likes to publicly position its driver assistance as being so good that they refer to it as "Full Self Driving"

No, Tesla very clearly says that full self driving is a future feature and not one that is available today (https://www.tesla.com/autopilot). All it says on there is that the hardware is present to enable it. There’s also a disclaimer on there:

> Current Autopilot features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous.

They spell this out even more clearly elsewhere in their documentation. The FSD Beta release notes explicitly tell users that it can do the wrong thing at the worst time, that they need to pay extra attention, and that they shouldn’t get complacent (https://www.newsweek.com/tesla-full-self-driving-beta-releas...).

I do agree Tesla’s practices seem like they’re normalizing massive privacy invasions. But I really don’t think the company is at fault if irresponsible drivers use their vehicle in an incorrect manner, which they’ve been abundantly warned against.
I saw that exhibition within a year of it opening. It wasn't amazing. The dwarf fortress aspect was a wall painted with screenshots. It made me both happy and sad.

The funny little punctuation marks on the wall meant so much to me, that ñ is a were creature coming to do horrible things! I had an emotional reaction, but I know the thousands of other people won't ever really get those stories about how glorious a steel clad captain of the guard is, and how sad it is when they die of starvation after fighting animated yack hair for a few seasons.

It was helpful for me to really viscerally grok there is art I don't understand that has deep meaning to others.
> We want to grow our team but hiring developers in the U.S is not an option, given the high wage demands

- You can hire a remote contractor. E.g. in the Philippines or India. When your company grows you can setup a satellite office there. I think the important part is the long-term commitment because it would be costly to hire new contractor every 6-12 months to train and on-boarding process. Also make sure your working time has overlap for better communication.

> What are some of the hot areas that we should build our expertise in besides mobile and web app development to expand our business?

- I suggest you find a niche business and make it your own product. You can find ideas on your clients. In the long-term it is really exhausting and costly developing green field project every year.
> You can't separate the commercial aspect, from the medium.

What does this even mean? If you mean that all video games are produced for commercial benefit, that's certainly not true. Maybe most of them are, but you could say exactly the same about movies and books.

> But what are we referring to when we talk about Video Game Art. The visuals and sounds, or the game play itself?

Isn't this just trying to unnecessarily force games into the mold of existing media? A video game is an interactive composition that consists of visuals and sound and narrative and control mechanics and game logic, just as a painting typically consists of shape and color.
And the lack of Internet in North Korea.
> We had a similar situation in gamedev circa 2003-2009. Practically every year there was a new GPU, which boasted similar architectural improvements.

You mean one of the most rapid periods of graphical improvement in history? Growth was just too breakneck to standardize for a bit.
> should you be able to ignore that contract?

If the clause is illegal, yeah. In almost every jurisdiction on the planet, a contract containing a clause that is illegal renders that clause invalid, and the rest of the contract stands. So why would I not collect my free $10,000 and continue doing whatever I wanted in my free time? Sucks for the company offering that contract, but maybe they should avoid trying to break the law next time my contract is up for negotiation.

> If you think that shouldn't be allowed, then you disagree with a huge chunk of contract law.

Correct. Fortunately I also agree with some parts of contract law. Specifically the parts that would make 'You are not allowed to use your personal email account as a "hobby".' an illegal thing to actually enforce.
Given the excessive "compensation" demand that Egypt is making for the ship that blocked the canal, I'm going to assume the fault lies with Egypt.
there are plenty of things to fear in police custody and the police don’t need a reason like that for any of them. they will simply do it if they want.
Both false and irrelevant.

The most violent people I observed were the ones that flipped from "you don't need a mask, and you're too stupid to wear one anyway: they're complex medical equipment that requires training" to "if you don't wear a mask you're literally killing grandma".

It was amazingly counterproductive.

The goal is to get people to mask up. If they believe doing so will protect them, then good. If they believe doing so will protect others, also good. It does not matter which of these they believe.
It's debatable whether the reasons that class put forth for policies they preferred are valid for society as a whole.

I'm just as confused as you are as to why anyone on the planet would click where the "attach image" button used to be, see a popup for gifting Nitro, and go "sure, let's do that instead", but evidently Discord thinks that at least some people are going to do that, or else they wouldn't have made such an absurdly hostile change in the first place.

Presumably they're banking on people who would have gifted Nitro in the first place but were just unaware of the feature.
Doctors that I know don't get personally invested. They know what they can do, and they do the best they can for any patient. When you're a trauma surgeon in Detroit, you treat gunshot wounds every day. You can't save them all, and you don't take that home with you or as a personal failing or you will not stay sane.
I was a teaching assistant for multiple courses at a UK university. There was an introductory functional programming course, and two other functional programming based courses that followed up from that. The courses all had large practical programming exercises, and exams at the end.

However, every year there would be a good amount of students that did the follow up courses, that would not even know how to define the simplest function, use/define a list, etc, when I was trying to help them work on the practical exercises. These were weekly voluntary 4 hour labs in which we were available to help them and there was no performance pressure.

Somehow they always had a solution by the end of the deadline despite getting stuck during the labs. Of course this was often clearly copied. However, I was strongly discouraged by the lecturer to ever make an issue out of this, even when at one point a student handed in a copy with someone else's name on it. Basically the university barely dared to formally accuse students, and the lecturers also didn't want to deal with the hassle.

Most of these students ended up passing the module, and later on the whole course. It made me really sad/frustrated.

It did help setting expectations when performing interviews for software engineers at certain companies I worked in the past. I would ask a candidate to use their most comfortable programming language and would start with a simple version of a problem to get them in their comfort zone. Sadly, I would often have to simplify that multiple times, and ended up with candidates that could not write a single function, for loop, while loop, interface, class, or any other component of the language they actually wanted to use.
I think plants do too. I wouldn't eat the last specimen of a super rare plant for example, and cause its demise forever.
However, its a gradient of consciousness, and plants are below animals. Its not likely that they feel pain in any conventional way. Whereas an animal cell, was once part of a conscious being.
Wouldn't OpenBSD a better choice than either FreeBSD or HardenedBSD if security is a focus? It also has better wifi support and a much more modern PF firewall. OpenBSD is really "the" router OS. It makes a lot more sense. (no pun intended)
I like this idea a lot. In a sense it's thinking of your application as a spreadsheet, where the database is a data tab and the frontend is the summary tabs. If there's a change to the data tab, the "spreadsheet engine" (or "materialized view engine" in your case) walks the dependency graph and updates all the relevant parts of the summary tabs.

In the Rollbar UI, we implemented a lot of this type of logic by hand to make our real-time aggregated Items list work (i.e. each time an Item has a new occurrence, we update its stats in the database and push the diff to connected clients). It would save an immense amount of code to have had a solution that did this out of the box.

The closest thing I'm aware of to this is BigQuery's materialized views ( https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/materialized-views-in... ), which take care of making otherwise expensive queries cheap fast, but they are rather limited (i.e. no subqueries or joins), and don't have the "streaming output of changes" you describe.

Supposedly USPIS goes back to 1737 (or 1772 if you don't want to count that), whereas USMS started in 1789? USPIS claims its "birth date" to be 1775, so I guess that's the latest. https://www.uspis.gov/about/history-of-uspis#1775

Perhaps this is what you were asking for in the GP, but it would be interesting then if UPX could apply those transformations without actually doing the final compression step itself. Perhaps the win isn't as great without the ability to smuggle specific hints to the compressor, but it would be interesting to see.

On the other hand, if it could be demonstrated that modest increases to binary size correlated to significantly improved compressability, then maybe that's something that should just be considered by the compilers themselves.

I think we are talking past each other. sillysaurusx is talking about OpenGL/Direct3D as a portability layer for hardwares. API vs AD is not a hardware portability layer concern. The proposal is to standardize OpenGL/Direct3D-like hardware portability layer defined by API. API vs AD you are talking about happens far above that and it is irrelevant.
Funny "coup" where none of the plotters were armed.
There are multiple views into the subject, but art is often described as a conversation between the piece and its viewer — that is, it’s interpreted by its audience, and given meaning by its audience (in the extreme, this leads to death of the author — art is only defined by its interpreters).

From that perspective, games reign supreme in their potential: not only are they interpreted, they are themselves changed by their interpretation. Not simply a conversation in a single point of time (by viewing the object under question) but an extended one, with both parties conversing with the other, and both even capable of changing their stance and topics as the conversation continues.

I personally don’t think you’ve ever needed “critical distance” to determine an object as art — because nothing is truly that distant, and beating someone over the head with a small statue does not change the status of the statue in regards to its “artistry”, despite the critical distance changing (the evaluation of the statue as a weapon may however not be an artistic evaluation).

And of course, Duchamp’s urinal is the primary counter-example to contend with.

Others however, just increased the block size to allow for more transactions per block and thereby lower fees. This is the intended purpose of the block size as set forth in the Bitcoin whitepaper.
Isn't academics part of how you are evaluating a candidate for a job ?
Sure, but electric cars used to be insanely expensive too. And while still expensive, they’ve definitely become cheaper with more range. That is to say, lots of things start out being expensive, and then as they get scaled up and the process gets optimized, they become cheaper.
Thank you for sharing. We mostly do fixed price contracts, but I am aware that the hourly logging software is annoying!
Edit: sorry you were talking about my example and not the domain.

Auctions are contracts, in this case the seller (bank) agrees to accept the highest offer at the end of the expiration of the auction. So the terms are of the auction are time limited, historically the foreclosure auctions were done in person (sometimes on the courthouse steps), I’ve been at in person foreclosure auctions and the bank had a representative that ended up buying most of them (at least at the ones I attended)

GitHub Actions update: Helping maintainers combat bad actors

The examples he gives for why we should end the death penalty are almost all people who weren't given the death penalty because the legal process exonerated them before they were executed. I don't expect any process to be perfect, but he has one example of someone who may (or may not) have been executed for a crime he didn't commit.

I'm against the death penalty - it is too much power for a government to have. I am slightly less against it after reading Paul Graham's argument. I guess that's called an own goal.
So, I am a naturally inquisitive person, and will ask questions, and have most always have had positive interactions because I am interested in the person, but I was in my early 20s at a party, and some guy turned to me and angrily said, “You ask alot of fucking questions!”

Speaking of the shopping, it actually makes me curious how he has funded buying the food/essentials he needs to survive. I wish that was covered in the story. 4 years is quite a long time, I am not sure how he would be affording it all.

That also makes me wonder if he stayed on the ship all the time or if he also spent some nights with locals.
It’s crazy how well it works. I was skeptical at first but one of projects has 15k complexish subscriptions and it scales amazing. A few Hasura hosts and a single Postgres instance does amazing. 8 cores Postgres instances running at about 20% utilization.

You can either have separate agencies or you can have a pile of specialized sub-agencies within some umbrella organization.....but working out how to align funding with who it's serving is going to be harder with the umbrella organization in many cases.

Specialization is a thing within policing as much as it is within the rest of life. It's not like the same person who knows how to investigate a murder scene is equally capable of investigating complicated financial crimes on Wall St.

----------

In terms of aligning incentives, there are various situations where there would otherwise there would be a mismatch of "who pays for this/who's responsibility this is" vs "who this is meant to serve".

On your examples:

Campus PD - College has equal/larger population than town. Town-college relations are often tense at best. Voters in town have no interest in spending their tax money on adequate policing for the college, college has no interest in donating a bunch of money to the PD to maybe get better services that they still have no say in. Students often heavily distrust the local PD and are unlikely to report crimes to them. It's still a problematic structure, but the premise that it would be better without is questionable.

Transit Cops - No individual town or city is going to patrol the system coherently otherwise, and areas which utilize the service less are unlikely to spend significant resources policing it. Services which cross state lines also have jurisdictional issues even with just using normal state-level police.
Given that people had a bimodal distribution of confidence, I would assume that means a lot of the perceived overconfidence come from people answering a question wrong that they thought was easy. I wonder if the test takers would say “that was a trick question”.

The lightning network has been promised for 7 years now. Exactly what people predicted has happened. It doesn't work, no one wants it, it tries to solve a problem that is already solved by not using a crippled crypto currency with the transaction bandwidth of a dial up modem.

Ethereum is multiple times btc in transaction throughput. Bitcoin cash has had higher transaction throughput for a while now too.

The people that made bitcoin originally were geniuses. The dunces that made the lightning network are nonsense charlatans. Go to /r/bitcoin and start asking questions, then see how long it takes to banned.

Anything other than btc and ethereum works for avoiding high transaction fees. Why would someone use a hacky second layer and defeat the purpose of crypto currencies when even a joke clone like dogecoin works better? Crypto currency works so well it has to be purposely broken like bitcoin to stop working well.

Right now the commonly accepted cryptocurrencies with reasonable transaction fees are litecoin and bitcoin cash with dogecoin being around $1 USD. That isn't impossible to work with but it isn't necessary.
