When was that?

I traveled in the opposite direction (more or less: Vienna to Bucarest) more than 3 months ago and wasn't asked either, but on the Hungary-Romania border, they put me in a tiny room (1/3 shipping container or so) with ca. 10 people and gave me quarantine papers. They didn't check bags.

I'm pretty sure they'd check for a test or vaccination now on the way back, I'm not eager to find out and will stay here in the Covid exile for a little longer.
I do want to avoid those. Not sure why you have such an issue with other people avoiding those, getting advice to avoid those and giving others advice how to avoid them.
Sure, and your house might look a smidgen better if it were painted a slightly different shade of the same color. It's a lot of work for very little gain.

Bandwidth is cheap. Human time is not. There are better ways to spend development time than shaving 2 seconds off the download of a utility app.
I know precisely what you mean. I've seen a few posts from people about how they finally transitioned away from Vim (or C++, or ...) after many months and then detail a long list of its flaws, all of which showcasing that they did not try to actually learn Vim, but rather try to work around it being Vim.

It's a bit different from other tools and if it's not your cup of tea that's perfectly understandable. But why would you torture yourself like that if you're not willing to give it a fair chance?

Edit: there are of course also those who do give it a shot, do learn the Vim way™, and then conclude it's not for them. That's great, I have no problem with that.
Yup. Slack sucks for work.

- a single window to do stuff with (so you can't really switch between two channels very easily)

- no ability to mark and unmark individual actionable messages as read

- slow as molasses client that sometimes takes seconds to react with high system load (no chance to have your own client)

- inability to integrate with self-developed tools unless you're blessed with an application token

- inability to set up advanced/granular filtering

- no user macros support beyond some primitive workflow automations
Good points, and I would make it a member function `hasChildren() { ... }`
Yes! Electric energy transmission and storage is a really hard problem when you look at it compared to liquid fuels. This is the nut to crack.
I can't put it better than the very first line of the Wikipedia definition:

"Socialism is a political, social, and economic philosophy encompassing a range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership of the means of production."

Why are you now referring to a "group" and "members of the same group" whereas previously you referred to the "state" and "state actors"? These are not (necessarily) the same things.

As a slight nitpick to your slight nitpick, non-zero numbers, non-empty strings, non-void pointers, non-empty arrays and more are known to evaluate to TRUE in boolean contexts. So, values of 12L, "empty", &gender and [null] for the `married` variable would break your condition but not the original one.
Discoverability.

I am very comfortable on CLI, and will always prefer it over GUI for most tasks, but for OS installations, GUI is vastly superior. From the get go, if installer loads with GUI, you know that you likely won't see black screen on first boot. All the drives can be easily formatted (I always multi-boot) and there is no mental translation of how much space is used in which drive under what layout.

These 2 are my primary reasons. Apart from that, if something goes wrong during setup, GUI installer almost always comes with full browser available right there for looking IP errors, eliminating need for second device. With CLI installers, there usually isn't a DE included. (NixOS disk comes with full DE option, but CLI installer, making it a hybrid, not sure about GuixSD)
if(gender == "male" && married && age >= 32)

would likely work too.
Will the author of this post ever have kids? Thankfully, no.

Humans want what they cannot have and the government saying you can't have crypto would be the ultimate sign you need crypto. See India and China "bans" on crypto.

Thanks for the invitation but I'm not looking to argue about it. Peace!
I don't have an issue. In fact, I have over 200 filters for my own email. But it's still interesting why since it underpins the whole post and isn't really explained.
>anybody can recommend a reading list on more robust strategies to obfuscate this sort of breadcrumbs?

Did you maybe mean to de-obfuscate?
I fail to see how this is "dreadful", as some commenters there put it. On the other hand, at least it shows they still don't know something about their customers, which is good.
They seemed to be referencing fuel cells not combustion engines.
To be fair, it seems like the German public office have not done their work and have some thing incorrect. As such, it doesn't apply.
Never let a reason to get outraged go to waste.
Can you expand on that a bit? If the program "is" the specification, in what manner could the program ever deviate from the specification in a way a prover could pick up?

Or are you talking about adding additional constraints to a program in the same grammar as the code, such that a prover can demonstrate the program doesn't meet the constraint? (this still seems beneficial, but feels like encoding the spec together with the program - which isn't the same thing to my mind)
Humility also helps push you to measure things and assume less. And lack of humility can make you trust that your code just works and not test it as thoroughly
The "and&" is "&&" in the linked article, and the "=age" is ">=age" in the linked article.

But it's not real code, so making assumptions about the semantic is pointless.
Meh, no one cares when pitched a garden appliance yet lives in an appartment, or car insurance when they don't own a car.

In that case it's just shrug this company's marketing campaign is shitty.

I guess this hits some sense of identity that needs to be blasted from the rooftops, and we need to know how wrong this all is...
Seems like a storm in a teacup, really.

The email is poor because it is worded as if they knew for a fact that the recipient had children whereas clearly they don't.

On the other hand, I'm sure that statistically the hypothesis that married women aged 30+ have children is probably correct by a good margin (although we don't know how they targeted so this is speculative by the author). Of course this is only a statistical likelihood and like always in such case you should proceed with caution if you decide to make an inference (which I don't have a problem with).

For instance they could have targeted who to send the email to but used an informational and neutral wording not to give any impression.

Pretty minor annoyance, though.
Diesel locomotives are still powered by electricity. The Diesel engine runs a generator which provides power to the traction motors on the rail. The same concept can be applied here to Hydrogen.
I’m glad! That Ui design was my primary inspiration.

Even if you approach life logically, and see it as a problem, the question remains: what does the solution look like? Money in the bank, active sex life, dozens of adoring grand children, popularity, achievement, status, a long life?

These ideas enter our rational faculties from below.

They are the caveman's goals, and the rational layer of our being is just a means to that end.
Nice! I would like to try this.
> You would likely believe it, given the sender ID, wouldn’t you?

No. I absolutely don't believe anyone unknown calling me, no matter who he claims to be, or what the CLIP says, unless I can call back to a public number of the institution he claims to represent. CLIP just isn't secure.

I choose to risk believing for non-essential things, because security is just not convenient. But banks, government, anything where there's well reported fraud going on regularly,... no way.

Calling back is also good, because outgoing calls are automatically recorded by my operator and sent to my email, so if I'm to enter into any agreement, it's better to do it on an outgoing call.
I like Computer Modern, but mainly on print or on high DPI displays. It looks pretty terrible on low pixel density displays because of how thin it is.
> Not systemd based. Say of systemd what you will, but there is a reason almost every distro has adopted it. It's just better. Also: most Linux users are familiar with systemd tooling by now, so that makes adoption even harder.

Yet, the only reason you are most likely giving this one piece of software special treatment, among the many other different pieces of software in NixOS and GuixSD, is as reactionism to the many, just as vocal voices, that chose not to adopt it, with just as much fanfare to the mention of not doing so.

It strikes me as odd to list as an objective advantage the one piece of software that has been the most controversial in the last decade, and it's controversy is most likely the reason you decided to mention it.
Not the biggest Elon fan but I do believe he is right about Hydrogen [1].

Hydrogen is not sitting around somewhere to be pumped out of the ground it must be split from something else like water which is very energy intensive.

It is very low density and must be highly compressed / liquefied, much more energy.

Even liquefied has very low energy density per volume.

It is very difficult to store and transport safely in the highly compressed or liquified form.

Might as well just charge a battery with the energy rather than creating hydrogen.

I'm like you. I want as few dependencies as possible. I liked this about PHP: You could get very far without any dependencies at all.

For a toy project, pull in some dependencies. For a more serious project that requires to do due diligence on every dependency you pull in, it gets annoying very quickly.

Also, I kinda dread all the fast-changing version numbers in the JS ecosystem.
First world problems caused from an elevated sense of self-entitlement. Just because you are in a small minority based on a certain set of criteria, doesn't mean that society should be tweaking the environment around you in order not to harm your oppressed snowflakey mindset.
That would work for sure if they wanted to add a "more images like this" feature. Here's an example using the SqueezeNet model and Pinecone (where scale isn't an issue): https://www.pinecone.io/docs/examples/image-similarity-searc...

Encoding both word and image embeddings into the same index then doing ANN on that index might also work. See this example of text-to-image retrieval: https://paperswithcode.com/task/texture-image-retrieval

Maybe someone from Dropbox can add more color to this and explain what other options they considered.

As it stands, I still can't find what I need in Dropbox. And never could. From reading this article I'd think searching for a basic keyword like "dog" or "ship" or "runner" would yield some results from my tens of thousands of photos, yet I get nothing (nothing relevant, at least).

Edit: On second reading, this is only available to Dropbox Pro and Business users. I hope they roll this out to other paying users soon.
I love the idea of a changelog, but that only works well if you're working on a single system for a long period of time - the nature of my work means I'm hopping between systems fairly frequently, so a changelog doesn't quite fit the bill for me. Sounds ideal for your work though - and I really appreciate that twitter thread, great work!
This is pretty fun, but I can't figure out how you do most of what you have on the home page. I'm not sure if it's just me or some of the coolest things are too hard to discover. A few examples: When I go to shapes they're all 2d and I can't find a way to make them 3d like yours are. I'm also not sure how to rotate objects, even if I click on the rotated YouTube video I can't figure out how to do it/how I can change its rotation.

Also is this a typo? "Every page is mindlessly responsive so they work across screen sizes" Should mindlessly be automatically?
Very generous of you to assume their model is reproducible.
The original argument that developers who look down on Java lack humility is not disproved by the counter-argument that Java developers also lack humility.

The common factor is developers lacking humility and comforting themselves with Tribal Tool-ism.

The tools are not the issue - the attitude around them is.

It's more of an anthropological and political problem than a technological issue.

Of course there is no one ultimate definitive best language, and there may not even be a definitive ultimate best language for specific kinds of problems.

But the anthropology around Tool-ism is fascinating, and under-researched.

And it's very relevant to the real-world effectiveness of CS, because irrational professional beliefs in both tooling and management can have very harmful and expensive real-world consequences.
I like low tech, but I also like agility.

Every morning I write a list of 5 things I want to accomplish in an index card. Any appointments I have are also written down. This allows me to easily figure out what I need to and what I have to do.

5 is a good number of tasks for me as long as some tasks take 30 minutes or less. This is not only work tasks, but life tasks as well, it's kind of what I feel I need to accomplish today.

Then I have a day.md file open for work. I prefer markdown because it's easy to render anywhere, email, wiki pages, gitlab etc. My day.md is a single file that expands for a year. Each year I start a new one.

day.md has all my meeting notes and all work projects worked on. The reason why I prefer an electronic document for this is speed. It's fast to write things in, it's a single place so I don't have to figure out where I put my notes or whatever. Most importantly being a file I can search for things, re-arrange projects, current project being worked on is always on top.

This helps with my planning as well. I feel that a lot of times as a dev we tend to get overwhelmed with all the things we have to do to solve a project. So I break things down, usually it starts abstract and as I get a better understanding it becomes more in depth.

My index card gets ripped up at the end of the day. It makes me feel good for completing all the tasks on it. :)
I'm excited about this - we need to invest in different energy storage solutions; as promising as batteries are they may not be the global optimum for all things as the common woo tells us.

For long haul trucking, battery mass eats substantially into payload. And while batteries are getting much cheaper, they aren't getting much lighter (cue the "but structural batteries" woo here). Hydrogen is an incredibly energy dense fuel and can be used in a wide variety of applications, but trucking may be the driver that pushes hydrogen economics and infrastructure towards being a viable part of our power storage and distribution system.

Once something drives hydrogen at scale, it becomes possible to think about long term (seasonal) energy storage, electrification of long-haul flight, and replacement of fossil fuel for industrial process heat - all vital for driving emissions to zero.
Is playing devil's advocate really necessary here? How many times do women have to complain about these assumptions being constantly made will it take before people believe them that there is a systemic problem of these types of assumptions?
It’s definitely not solved. There are a half dozen different plug formats, voltage levels, etc…

If you want fast charging for instance you need a special vehicle with a high voltage system. Those are not super common right now, although it’s getting better.

Really this is the biggest unsolved part of EV’s.

Seems to be fixed and that it was fixed during the time he did _nothing_ and just waited. Perhaps there was a responsible disclosure but he didn't said how he did it.

Publish the addresses, and criminal use of Bitcoin will end immediately. Offer bitcoin address clemency, and the criminals will be delivered on a silver platter by whomever they cashed out with.

Yes; I realize the dystopian possibilities. But if we trust law enforcement, and we believe that the laws are and will always be just, then we should want to help them.

Either way, it’s already happening in secret. The question is really whether it should happen in the open.
What is actually the point you want to express ?

It seems to me the OP is questionning generic assumptions, and I don't get how the meme relates to the situation.
I know this is a tech site, and I am a tech guy. It seems the simple solution that would have avoided this entire story and situation: why didn't this guy just move elsewhere instead of trying to convince/force an entire town in which he never meaningfully contributed anything to pay money for something that most of them didn't really care for or want to begin with? I think the general attitude in the article is sickening.
You can go further with some simple rewriting rules. For instance,

if (condition) { variable = true; }

can be rewritten as

variable |= condition;

So if we're streamlining the sexism we end up with a more pleasing

hasChildren |= gender == "female" && married && age >= 30;

That's because the usual Computer Modern font files today are too thin.

Knuth designed in a "blacken" factor and gave instructions how to tune it to your specific printer.

Because the correct amount is dependent on your printer and its printing technology. Ink tends to blur a bit, for example.

There are font files around that try to make CM a bit more correct on typical printers today, but most people don't know about it and are using some bad default CM.
Yes!! Why not, the website as art? As the medium and the message? A network of creative expression? Or as a "diary" where every entry is more scrapbook-y and less uniform blog?

Could be fun. We need more fun.
Funny the article should mention fake reviews.

I’ve been avoiding Aukey since I happened to find one of their Amazon items (sold and manufactured by them) littered with blatantly fake reviews.

I wondered why Aukey would even do that despite they seemed to have gained an ok customer base as a legit-ish Anker knockoff at that time. But here we are.
All apple gestures (pinch to zoom, 2 finger swipe for navigation) don't work at all. That's kind of a deal breaker for me ...

They sent a mistargeted email. Wow.

A fair number of people who meet the known characteristics of your wife have children, thus it seems reasonable to send them a PSA pertaining to kids. It looks like a sensible email and it’s not a judgment or anything. I think the email could have been better qualified. But this whole things just smacks of hypersensitivity to perceived micro aggressions.

Ransomware btc are so tainted as to be worthless. I cannot imagine that these criminals are able to cashout easily, if at all. To cash out tainted btc you need a buyer. At some point there will be leaks and major arrests of these ppl. Just being in Russia is not safe enough. IN certain cases, the US government does do kidnappings.

People like to be outraged and outrage generation makes for good clickbait.

The only reason I’m interacting on this post is because I feel a mild sort of outrage about the author’s mild outrage. And I feel like a bit of a sucker because of that.
This is called consumer's surplus, where there is a single market clearing price but the subjective value placed on a good by each consumer is not actually that exact price, so those who place greater value receive a surplus. There is also producer's surplus, as the producer may have been perfectly willing to sell for a lower price, but the market clearing price happened to be higher than that.

This is why companies often attempt to engage in some form of customer segmentation or price discrimination, to take some of that consumer surplus and capture more of it as producer's surplus.

The entire basis of welfare economics and the ethical argument in favor of markets at all is that, at least under conditions of pure competition and in the absence of externalities, market clearing prices will always settle on a Pareto optimal point where the net surplus of all parties to the transaction is maximized.

We obviously don't actually have those conditions, but what Dr. Friedman is attempting to do is figure out from theory and history ways we might be able to via better systems of law and property than what we currently have.

He is actually a frequent commenter on Scott Alexander's blog and has been for a decade, and is quite a joy to read and converse with. His arguments are well researched, well backed, and compelling. The only blind spot seems to be with respect to climate, where he continues to assert that we cannot even know whether the sign of the change will be negative at all as equatorial regions become unlivable but tundras fertile, which is maybe true over a long enough span of time, but seems to me like saying we cannot know for sure Thanos isn't right and killing off the half the population now won't make the world better off in a thousand years and forever thereafter. It doesn't seem like a good argument in favor of letting it happen.
Because when you’re young, your feelings control you. So you end up doing and saying things that don’t actually serve your own interests, or those of people around you. Also because when you’re young you don’t yet know that certain displays of, or acting out of, impulsive emotions, isn’t acceptable in our society.

So over time, to stop fucking your own life up, your progressively learn to say less, to hold your tongue, to decide later, to consider things from the perspective of others, to reserve and hold back. To give things time and think before acting or talking. To give people the benefit of the doubt. You earn that things are likely to change so there’s less reason to respond in an extreme manner to right now.

You learn that you’re not as important as you think you were when you were younger.
