Is Super Salaryman really a thing?

I've only ever heard of this TV series[1], about a regular salaryman who becomes a superhero.

Crossing the 1000 man (10 million) yen barrier is a thing though, I just don't know if it has a special name.

A bit off-topic - has anyone an example of some marketing material which says something like our product is not good at XYZ, have a look at our competitors product ABC if XYZ is important to you? Because if you are actually interested in solving my problem I do not only have to know what you can do but also what you can not do. So even if your product does not support XYZ you can still help me solve my problem by suggesting a look at ABC. You see this sometimes in conference talks - which can certainly fall into the marketing category - but in general every product is always best in class, world leader with all the check marks in the comparison tables.
In Italy it's called bianchetto, and it was already on its way out when I was in school 25 years ago. The smart folks had white adhesive strips, and the smarter folks used computers already. But to my parents' generation, it was essential.
One doesn't follow from the other. Marketing isn't equally accessible because companies compete for the spaces in which marketing takes place, regardless if it's a highway billboard, a site banner or a Instagram post. The people who owned these spaces want to get the best possible ROI and that results in certain price points due to competition.
Phase IV trials are only undertaken after formal approval by FDA and EDA; they are not relevant in the current context. The current vaccins (including Pfizer, moderna which clearly use a novel mechanism for delivery) also don't have phase IV data yet. Thank God they have been approved though, they are currently clearly the way out of a pandemic that so far has claimed 3.4 million deaths. I really don't understand what you on about, sorry.
Claiming that on the back of an opinion piece in a partisan publication which seems not at all interested in neutral fact finding but revels in partisanship and plays this up as a political issue does not bolster your argument's credibility. Indeed it weakens it. I say that as a non-American who doesn't have a horse in the race.
> The problem is that programs that produce PDFs are often designed just to make the PDF look correct, without any care for semantics.

When the alternative is that they don't offer a non-proprietary export format at all, I'll take it. Even a poor PDF output is better for data portability than having your data forever trapped in a proprietary platform that can disappear or get discontinued at any time without a migration path.
This happens every time a Javascript topic comes up - hundreds of comments just regurgitating the same "Javascript is bad" memes. It's bad enough that's there's no real point in reading the comments on JS submissions since there's rarely discussion about the article.
Removing useless middlemen allows for raising salaries of the producers.
Well since this is spurring a conversation I should clarify my position. The person above was right. I was talking about corporations and companies. Billionaire humans are a seperate discussion but they aren't the marketing industry.

With regards to your second point, I don't really think you've said anything noteworthy. Governments aren't humans and don't have morals. They're processes. When they do mass marketing we call it propoganda and that word seems to have pretty negative connotations with it.
>But the program that controls that machine there, well, it can be written by some Germanistics student who can't find a job in his original field

I think you'll find that the people who write control software are mostly Electrical Engineers.
If we got rid of all living organisms entirely, it stands to reason that the virus wouldn't be able to go on living by itself. Therefore, between the current situation and now, there's a point where it's too hard for the virus to keep existing in its current form.

There's no reason to suspect that the virus will be able to tackle anything we throw at it without just dying out. It might not be the vaccine, but it'll be something (assuming it doesn't just turn into a common cold eventually and we lose interest.
linguists rarely agree on definitions, unfortunately.

Greville Corbett, for example, who has written a textbook about "Gender" (in the linguistic sense), defines gender as a type of noun classification which triggers agreement. In that sense, he doesn't require that it be centered around male/female or animate/inanimate. Other linguists will use different terminology.
I rarely buy a product without reading the reviews. In the long run, selling bad products is usually not a good way to make money. (Unless the government is subsidizing your industry, e.g. for-profit colleges.)

And competence of advertising usually correlates with product quality. That's why you're less likely to enter your credit card details in a website that looks like it was designed in 1998. Quality ads serve as an honest signal that the company is making enough money to pay for them. If they're making money, that means people are buying the product, and if they're buying the product, it probably isn't terrible.

Sounds like restructuredtext ("That weird markup language used by Sphinx") from around 2000.
Informing people about products is legitimate. Alas, marketing also incentivizes unethical behavior. I don't know if there is a true way to remove that incentive since the main meaningful metric for marketing is how much you sell.
I think there are huge differences between being a carpenter and being an assembly-line worker though.
Will this work with the other plans as well? I was looking into Shopify the other day, would like to accept non-credit card payments as well (so need a higher plan) but I love the minimal design of your theme.
This code isn't tested at all. They messed up copying code from a previous implementation, that's how bad this is. If they had had a few basic tests in place they would've spotted this before it even had a chance to be a problem.
Waay faster. In my experience it has been the fastest OLAP db I've ever used, and by a wide margin. I don't think any other system gets close for the price/performance ratio you get with ClickHouse.

In this blog [1] you can find a very nice comparison of different dbs on the same dataset/same queries

Hi, stanchsk,

After installation, simply passing in the source and target language codes should do the job. E.g.,
$ subaligner -m dual -v video.mp4 -s subtitle.srt -t eng,spa

Or just translate without synchronisation:
$ subaligner_convert -i subtitle_en.srt -o subtitle_es.srt -t eng,spa
That's exactly my first thought.

But: I'm currently working on a distributed Webassembly runtime. Jolie seems like a great way to describe your whole system.

For each service the executed code would be a function exported by a Wasm module, written in the language of your choice.
I was asking not about the badly written code. I was asking about when you have lets say "good" code with tabs, when they are used for indentations and there is a single tab per line start, but that file is for some reason displayed garbled because text viewer/editor on the host can't work with tabs properly.

Because that was the reason always given for spaces usage - "what if I want to open code with tabs on some super duper legacy system from decades back, and some weird editor will mess up my indents. Spaces are safe everywhere."

And my point was that I haven't seen a system which can't handle displaying tabs in very long time (or ever).
I can only imagine the reaction of all prisoners in large Federal corrections institutions if one sunny morning they are lined up and processing for the release of every single inmate starts to take place.

"What's going on, officer?"

"Supreme court just ruled on the Minecraft speedrun case."

"What's that?"

"This Youtube asshole got sued for playing a video game or something. I don't know. Hughes, what was it?"

"He mined a diamond on his second try."

"This asshole mined a diamond on his second try. Now all youse are getting released."

"So what's going on, we're gonna get a retrial or something?"

"Nah. Everyone here is going home."

The release of all incarcerated felons in the United States passes off almost without incident, although police leave in Chicago is cancelled after several homicides in the downtown area on a single night. These are believed to involve released prisoners, but this was never confirmed. Pawnshops and liquor stores in several areas of the country hire extra security for the following week after viral WhatsApp messages warn of a crime wave, but the expected spike in criminal behavior never takes place.

On the afternoon of the second day of releases two Marshalls and a adjunct professor of mathematics get out of a rented car outside FCI Marion, having flown to Chicago from the nation's capital. They are too late to stop the release of the man convicted of ripping off the 'McDonald's Monopoly' lottery game. A numerate intern at the DoJ noticed late on the first 'release day' that the chance of every single large award in the fast food prize draw between 1995 and 2000 being won by one person's associates or family members, technically exceeded the new probabilistic standard for reasonable doubt. They are ten minutes too late, the fraudster having departed by Uber. For the first time in its history the FBI Most Wanted list consists of a single name, for nine days until his recapture at Canadian border. The email alerting prison staff to his upheld conviction had been sent to the email address of a recently retired prison officer, a fact cited in his retrial as evidence that "he's just a lucky guy, you know?"
With C/C++ the preprocessor makes architecture-dependent decisions. Bitcode has no chance to fix that.
Indeed. I’ve got a mill in the basement for 5 years waiting on a CNC conversion. (I’ve used it manually in the meantime, but that’s the most physically obvious long-delayed hobby project.)
And TypeScript and Flow these days allow to properly type the wast majority of JavaScript “dynamic typing” patterns making reflection usage in Go and Java to look ridiculous for a supposedly statically typed languages.
You mean the list "Nation states where a single ethnic group makes up more than 85% of the population"?

Most of the world is currently organised in nation states, but most of those are multi-ethnic. Ethnicity != nationality in this sense.
Wouldn't it be nice if operating systems just collaborated on a shared executable format (that would just wrap the platform native ones) rather than having to hack around this with self-modifying code.
There are plenty of reasons for preferring spaces:

* There will always be that one diff tool/website which doesn't support configuring the tab width and renders your code with 8-space tabs. Even if every tool you use supports configuring this, it's going to be a nightmare to configure every single tool when the default of 8 is not sane for the majority of people.

* If you enforce a maximum line length for your code, people who use a different tab width than you are bound to mess this up. I mean, you can somewhat avoid it with an automated linters, but then again, which tab width do you set it for? If you set it too low, it will look bad people with bigger tab widths working on a split screen. If you set it too high, code will be unnecessarily wrapped everywhere and it will look bad.

* Mixing tabs and spaces to ensure proper alignment of function arguments with any tab width can be a nightmare. Someone on your team is definitely going to mess it up eventually, and you'll have to clean up after them. With spaces enforced, indentation and alignment will look the same everywhere and mistakes will be immediately obvious regardless of the tool used for code review. (Editors may support differentiating tabs visually, but I don't think GitHub or GitLab does.)

On a team project, you don't get to choose other things like brace style either. You just have to learn to deal with it. There are too many variables to account for, such as the ones I mentioned above. Using spaces ensures consistency everywhere.

In an ideal world, you wouldn't have to worry about all this, you would just store a minified version of the code and your editor could format it with your preferred tab width, line length, brace style, etc. But in reality, it's not that simple. Auto-formatters are far from perfect.
So basically like chaturbate [1] and similar, but applied to daily life and without the nudity/sex aspect? I wonder how they plan on keeping that out since their terms [2] (seem to) mention they don't allow that.

That’s a common misconception. Selling oil in any currency has minimal impact on the US or USD, a buyer needs USD just long enough for a transaction and the seller gets rid of USD ASAP. The value is if 3rd parties need to hold some value worth of USD and the USD has inflation, then those 3rd parties need to constantly buy more USD to make up for inflation. In effect the US gets to print money and get stuff for free.

As to long term hyper inflation, you can only get long term hyper inflation if the country prints more currency. Suppose 1 trillion USD was worth 1 apple, and the US economy was even 1% as large as today, and their was the same number of USD in circulation, and the IRS only accepted taxes paid in USD. Now suddenly a lot of people really really want USD to pay taxes as their hypothetical tax bills are larger than the amount of USD possible to acquire. Except people constantly need to pay taxes so that can’t happen. What can happen is significant shifts in USD’s vale, aka it can go up or down within a range or the US can print a lot more currency.

Don't sell yourself short, it was probably more efficient than the wobbling tower of npm packages and ajax requests most comment systems are made of today.
Ignoring the numbers on vertical axis, plots look like they are normalized to fit the plotting area. TODO/LoC should basically have the same form.
>And Go is littered with those. It allows for lots of "cleverness" around Reflection and Empty Interfaces, which effectively turn it into a poorly-specified ad-hoc dynamic language.

I strongly disagree with that. You can do it, you can do clever code through reflection. But it is actively discouraged unless it's something required to solve the problem, e.g automatic JSON marshalling/unmarshalling.

No professional Go dev is going to immediately reach for empty interfaces or reflection without seeing what the solution looks like with verbose type safe code.
It would also be interesting to plot the number of TODOs against the size of the code base too. One would assume that as a project grows, the number of outstanding TODOs would grow too. Where and when this isn't true, might reveal something more interesting.
In Poland, healthcare and people that work around were offered jabs in first line (along with state services and education sector) with Moderna. My friend who works as air ambulance service mechanic (along with her husband) was at first offered vaccination but in next few hours during her shift, boss ordered that whole crew will get shots. They'd take these anyway.

The paradigm reminds me of the message passing paradigm in "early days" object oriented programming languages such as Smalltalk. I guess remote procedure calling (RPC) and message brokers (COM and friends) is the 90s or 2000s version of distributing these messages (network transparency). How does Jolie relate to these concepts?

I just wonder, when looking at enterprise Java, whether there are not mature libraries which allow for distributed and high level application writing without changing the whole software ecosystem.
You can always interpret the extensional predicate p/1 as a call to a function without arguments and set-valued return. That's basically just a LOAD-instruction. But then you're back at square one considering your static analysis.

So I also limit throughput in that functions are not allowed to be set-valued (which is fine in microcontrollers, as there is no standard way to encode this in memory-limited C anyways), instead you are allowed to call this function again and again over time.

As a function call is a side-effect, you get new values.

I am looking forward to further correspondence.
Checking again, their official recruitment page[1] is actually listing "example salaries":

These are higher, although probably not representative:
Security Engineer (in their 40s): 13 million yen
Automation Architect (in their 40s): 10 million yen
Q.A. Engineer (in their 30s): 9 million yen.

These salaries are on par with the top paying local companies, but it's quite suspect none of them are registered on a third party site. They might be rather new.

Isn't this true of basically all tools developed for TAS? They are cheats by the normal definition.

It would be a shame to hold back on finding out what is possible in Halo because of cheaters, cheaters will find a way with or without your help. If people continue to care about these runs then someone eventually will develop a tool like yours and they may not care as much about people cheating.

I would suggest putting some effort into making your tools detectable somehow so that you can at least have a clear conscious about it but don't let the fact that people will always cheat stop you from providing useful tools.

We've seen this on Twitch with streamers doing "marathons" for getting more subs and therefore money...

The model for this app clearly will force the creators to do more "interesting" or "risky" questions to grab attention. If it gets enough traction , it's not going to end well.

I have been working with Bazel in my personal monorepo (~6 months now), and the fact that Justine, someone I believe knows Bazel/Blaze well, uses GNU Make, makes me re-think my decision: perhaps I should re-consider it. I have quite a few issues with Bazel, which require significant engineering hours to overcome, whereas I could just use gnu make and solve it quickly.

Let's see if I can get some inspiration of how things can be built from this repo?

`o/$(MODE)/depend`, a makefile-looking file with the full dependency tree. It is compiled using tool/build/mkdeps.c. So we have a Makefile generator (Justine, you mentioned elsewhere in this thread you didn't want to invent a build system? :)) The Makefile generator is very specific to this project: parses C files and creates that tree.

It is damn fast and, so far, beautifully documented (at least the build parts I looked). Hell, even documentation lines in file preambles are 72 characters wide, and justified. Crazy. Do you manually justify those?

You are also vendoring statically-built GCC, and the folder with executables is <10MB. LLVM C/C++ toolchain is hundreds of megs, compressed.

I am certainly taking inspiration of being in tight control of the compiler toolchain, and beautiful documentation. Not sure I will write my Makefile generator, since my project is also not that big.

> there doesn't appear to be the same emphasis on living in a "good area" as in other countries for personal security reasons

This is common mostry in the anglosphere. In many other countries there is no such difference.
The point is that you should assume everything they write is as close to a lie as they can get away with, that is what people mean when they say marketing is evil.
GP is differentiating between library code and application code. You wouldn't turn on the static analysis to fail the build on checked exceptions in library code, since you want to force the application to keep track of known error modes in libraries and decide where it's appropriate to handle them. But you would turn them on in application code in order to prevent application code from using exceptions-as-control-flow, which is an anti-pattern and one of the reasons why people who value Go's error handling sometimes hold their opinions because of scarring they suffered from anti-patterns that were in Java codebases they worked with.
No emailing/ surfing either?
Slightly off-topics but I'd like to know if there is some kind of turn-key solution for small business or home use which uses a Raspberry Pi with attached USB HD, that connects to other PCs via the network and pulls the files to be backed up. The idea being that the Pi and the HD themselves are never writeable from the outside and thus can't be encrypted themselves, 1) if using some suitably long retention time for older backups and 2) some kind of semi-smart monitoring system that can give warnings like "Hey, your data changed a lot suddenly. Might wanna have a look at that".
Ah, for comparison we had a 6-week period of similar restrictions last spring. Followed by another 4-week period in September, and a 3 month period at the start of this year.

Outside of those times there were restrictions on meeting indoors (at times max 6 people, at other no meeting indoors at all) pretty much continuously since last April.
Hope you recover well!

Just concerning the breast stroke: I started to go swimming half a year ago and for lack of technique I did breast stroke instead of freestyle. After a couple months of 30min of swimming every day, I suddenly got terrible back pain during swimming (due the the backwards bent spine I guess). I started to learn freestyle and did not encounter the problems again. Just yesterday I did some breast stroke and I almost instantly got the pain again. Did you ever encounter this kind of back pain, or is it only my physiology?
I'm very skeptical about some of the attempts to change the German language to be more "gender-neutral" due to a number of reasons, but I feel it's not correct to frame this as a misunderstanding between "genus" and "sexus", as I've now read a number of times.

If people really confused grammatical gender with "the biological concept of sex", then we'd have a lot more arguments about random nouns needing to have feminine gender instead of masculine (there's this famous joke about "die Salzstreuerin"). But that's not really what happens. Nobody seems to care about the table being masculine.

What the argument is mostly about is that we use words that, by themselves, refer to masculine people and pluralise them to denote a possible mixed-gender group. This has everything to do with semantics (and so with how concrete biological/social gender expression is encoded in the words of a language), and isn't really that much concerned with grammatical gender, which after all disappears anyway as a distinctive feature once you're in the plural.
