Do they need HK as long as there are no sanctions otherwise?
Not worth reading - political piece with little substance or argument from a libertarian think tank. The topic warrants discussion, but this a good piece to start one.
That's not true, my mum watched. There were sometimes a hundred or so people watching. And for more popular sports in my area, namely American football, there were sometimes a thousand or more people watching kids play for free.
In a floating fx currency regime that we practice, China, et al, have to hold/buy dollars in order keep their exports cheap and foreign fx exchange rates stable.
This sounds like a great idea for an editor plugin.
Hustle mentality is a choice. You can choose to prioritize other things. Most people will never be at the top of the world; it’s ok to have a well-paid but mundane job and use the money and free time to enjoy life. If we’re being honest, the future isn’t all that bright for any of us on this planet, so we might as well enjoy the good days we have left.
Does anyone know if there is a map app that allows the user to change route weighting options?

For example, as a cyclist who enjoys riding both gravel roads and low traffic sealed roads, I'd like to be able to weight these types of roads above bike paths and main roads.

I've been looking for something like this for a while but I'd also be willing to build something out if say mapbox or another mapping platform has the options to allow route weighting. Does anyone know if this is the case?
I worked for one of these types many labelled an asshole and grew to love it, and he had the most loyal group of people around him you could imagine.

There's a super important distinction between the person with extremely high standards that skewers anything mediocre and that can legitimately be won over by doing exceptional work (my old boss), and the narcissist who is critical for the mere purposes of bullying (or the type that mixes both of those together). If the rage and ultra high standards are strictly about work quality and vary only along that dimension, then that's someone I actually really like working with.
AFAIK crypto mining is banned on AWS, along with pretty much all other cloud providers.
How many 2x4s per hour do you get paid?
Your link, sir, is a revelation.
Yes, but these smart contracts are often fairly short (in essence, they shift value from one ledger entry to another), and not every bug is exploitable. They are also effectively paying a bounty worth hundreds of millions of dollars if you can find an exploit. It is not unreasonable to feel increasingly confident in their safety after some time.
Everybody said the same thing about the 1987 automated trading crash. Get rid of those darn computers!

> The "one laptop per child" program put some thought into the connectivity problem.

OLPC was also ruggedised, had replaceable parts and had things like crank charging for areas with no/little power, it was a well thought out machine all around. Even in developed countries there are many that can't afford the internet, electricity and repairs required so it's a shame to see schools go with regular lapotops or even worse, premium tablets. One of my nephews had an optional programming class that required an Ipad, it's the worst option in just about every way.
So you assume there can’t be a server inside the country which hosts the answers?
From the article you linked:

> These data suggest that when people are given rote-learning tasks their performance is improved by stimulants.

Rote learning was (and still is) one of my big weaknesses. Tools like Anki help but going through them is way easier when I use stimulants. So maybe it depends on the student, but I'm wary of statements like "ADHD meds for non-ADHD students don't really help", it seems more to be pushing an agenda than telling the truth.
A significant number of US money market funds have been operating under fee waivers to keep yields positive since last year.

One of my retirement accounts sent me an email stating that their fee waiver expires June 30 of this year and can’t be extended. This is very different from “breaking the buck”, but I am curious to see what things would look like if money market yields went negative, which apparently is likely to happen next month.
The "was" is inside of a "could" statement which usually means that it is a subjunctive tense and not a past perfect tense. This means that the tense is probably indicating that the intent is talking hypothetically. We don't do a good job of distinguishing these tenses on English but they do exist.

In the current climate if the US doesn't move nobody will (or it will just be a "look at me" gesture)

Why do I think so? Because the US accumulated that unprecedented power you refer to, and Japan or GB or Canada trying anything from themselves just means they'll be pissing in the wind until the US decides to do it as well.

The EU seems to me the only exception to that, but then I am not sure its majority sees a big difference between dealing with China instead of dealing with the US.

PS: GB already offers specific routes for HK residents to come over.
Someone said to me the other day that they're going to pair gun rights with marijuana decriminalization. This appears to be the same playbook states used to legalize marijuana but for deadly weapons.

When you think about it, function and variable names are comments. Should we not use those because they need to be maintained with the code?

It was not a joke. Evil doesn't look like Sauron or HYDRA. Evil looks more like William Barr. Arendt's insight was that evil is bland, sometimes barely competent, bureaucracy and uncritical dedication to the system for selfish ambition.

The comment I was responding to said, "real evil is extraordinarily mundane", which is exactly what Arendt noted. Whether or not the actions of UEFA and Coca-Cola are morally equal to IBM's role in the Holocaust is a different question, but the attitude of subservience to order is certainly comparable.
You don’t need Internet to cheat in exam.

In fact for a paper based exam of fixed questions Internet is quite bad for cheating. You’d get better help by asking someone or just opening the book. Or even better if someone else can do it for you.

So, were you able to see why many are not seeing or not willing to see that possibility?
I googled it, too. Lol. Hence why I’m here. Never had this happen before!
This kind of error can be caused by higher environment configs making their way into test environments. These types of email are generally sent via API to transactional email services. The prod api key is associated with the real subscribers.
Did I just read Alex Jones?
So this is cause HBO messed up a test and somehow sent it to there ENTIRE EMAIL DATABASE??? Even email addresses associated with partners and closed accounts...The Direct TV association makes me think the Email went out to ANY AND ALL ATT media subscribers past and present instead of just testing the ability to send emails to account holders, someone messed up and seems to have sent real emails. This will be on the news...

Hong Kong government can get fucked, I no longer have any incentive to visit so fuck that tax bill that will only get channeled to corrupt forces ran by the mainlanders.

It's a sad situation though because the Hong Kong people are genuinely lovely people, polar opposite of a cross the border. Sure call me out, but the belief is stronger in native hong longers than the expat community, you have to live there to appreciate.
I think this is a question of level of abstraction.

I would argue that that this more readable as for what is going on:

addHorizontalScrollbar() ;
addVerticalScrollbar();
addHeader();
addDayColums();
addFooter();

If all I need to know is how the page is structured and set up on a high level, then this is awesome (actually I'm not convinced it needs the scroll bar stuff on this level but this was what I could come up with to stay in the example :) ) I don't need to read comments for what's what and then manually skip over ever so many lines of actual code that did all these things. I can decide that what I really wanted to take a closer look at was what the header bar looks like.

Some of this depends on whether I'm using an IDE or not. In an IDE I can just Ctrl click myself through. Then again I doubt anyone these days is using _just_ vi to code something complex enough to want multiple files. I used vi configured as an IDE way back but I do admit that's been like 15 years. Dunno what that looks like today. Nowadays I'm a JetBrains user, mainly in Java and Java/TypeScript and very little Python.

What damages, though? SMR drives are commonly used in enterprise storage applications.

WD should not have sold CMR and SMR drives under the same consumer label without distinction, but that's a marketing issue. The panic was instigated by self-appointed YouTube tech influencers who drummed up fear without bothering to show their followers how to make use of the drives.

The reality is that anyone can install ZFS and throw drives in a pool regardless of their characteristics and without adjusting a single sysctl tunable, then complain that they're not storage admins and shouldn't have been expected to manage their own systems. The moment they realized they didn't know as much as they thought they did, everything turned into hysterics.

I'd say $4-7/drive was totally worth paying to put this to rest.
You can do this with OSMAnd, last I knew with both the internal routing engine and also with BRouter.

You can create a custom routing profile, and also compile maps using your own data transforms (so if the maps that they produce don't include some information from OSM that you value, the software is flexible enough to make different maps just with configuration).

The profiles that ship in the app are defined in https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources/blob/master/ro...
This indeed describes ledger’s own website: their technical pages have a clear ESL feel, but not their marketing pages.
yeah, got it. flat out creepy. flipping HBO. smh
I am surprised by the comments here which seem very fearful of Ring. Personally I welcome anything that helps police actually locate and arrest suspects. After all the crime we experience daily in cities like SF and Seattle, I am all for citizens being able to share footage and help the police along. If you don't support that, then you really don't support the enforcement of laws in general - which seems like an argument for crime and/or anarchy.

Personally I am not convinced by the slippery slope argument that Ring cameras will lead to broader unrestricted general surveillance. Ring customers can choose to voluntarily share footage with the police, or not - it's up to them. That's not the same as a dystopian ever-present dragnet. And even if we have cameras on every corner run by the government (rather than Ring), we can establish legal controls such as needing a warrant or reasonable suspicion of a crime to examine footage or perform facial recognition matches.
Yeah, I got it as well. Flippin creepy. Find this kind of stuff disturbing…

What metric would make more sense here, though? I can agree that from TBs perspective, they may not factor total applicants as their base # (although that is clearly their market). However this exclusivity of only using the small percentage they accept doesn’t seem to be a scalable business model. Having 1% of the devs who try their service actually accept an offer would not entice me to try their service.
python3 is a developer tool because it is the extension language for the lldb debugger. For example, I have python3 scripts for formatting my custom C++ data types, and that formatting also works in Xcode's visual debugger (which is presumably using the lldb API).

Previously, lldb's extension language was python2. This changed a release or two of Xcode ago. At that time, to use lldb scripts with that new release of Xcode you either had to run on Catalina (which added python3 to the existing python2) or install your own python3 and point lldb at that. This actually was what pushed me into moving to Catalina on my development system, because the Unicode handling would be much easier in python3.

As I understand it, Monterey and the Xcode that is released for it move the necessary python3 installation from the operating system itself to Xcode. I'm fine with that.

(I would not be fine with Apple telling me I have to go waste my time figuring out how to install a suitable python myself, when I never had to before. And indeed, many of their own developers may be like me and know a little Python but are in trepidation of the env thing.)

The way it was before meant that if they wanted to update python they had to release a new version of the operating system. This is clearly an imposition on the vast bulk of macOS users, who are not developers.
what are the odds?
I was watching HK Apple Daily since the Hong Kong protests and lately a few of their latest videos have been showing up in my feed. While I’ve stopped watching, the thumbnails look incendiary in nature so seeing this happen is not surprising considering the news security law
As far as I can tell, you have US regulatory capture by the same multinational corporations and their executives which are getting rich by marketing products and services driven heavily by Chinese labor and supply chains. They have no financial interest in rocking the boat with the CCP, so Washington’s intervention will never amount to more than empty rhetoric and saber rattling.

Sadly for Hong Kong, US big tech, energy, healthcare, etc don’t care if they’re free so they won’t be.
If you've seen Breaking Bad (if not, I'm not spoiling much) there is a scene where he tells his wife "I did it all for the family" and she disgustingly turns her head away and says something like "You did it for your own ego. You didn't care about us." It's kind of like that.

> Early stereo records often had rather drastic left/right panning (eg. some Beatles stuff) or had to hedge their bets in case they were played back through eg. mono radios/badly set-up stereos and so on…

Many early stereo mixes were so bad because the stereo mix literally just put half the channels into L and the other half into R. For Beatles’ stereo mixes you would lose basically half the song by changing the balance full L or R. This was the case for many other early mono to stereo masters. Capitol Records’ Duphonic process also added a slight delay between the two channels to give a feeling of depth. It almost certainly didn’t reflect what the original producers or engineers would have ever intended.

For many classic albums that got this “fake stereo” treatment if you were lucky you would eventually end up with a proper stereo remaster done decades later. For example, hearing the original the properly remastered stereo version of Pet Sounds released in 1997 is a drastic improvement over the Duophonic stereo mix from 1966.
> We just got a peek inside HBO's technological kitchen. Seems all right.

My PS4 HBOmax app won't run, won't uninstall, and won't update. The only way out I can see is reinstalling the system software. It's possible it's a PS4 issue, but none of my other software has this problem. If the PS4 was the only way I could consume my subscription, I'd unsubscribe.

So, I'm not really impressed with their technological kitchen.
I have this exact same phobia. Except it's having left the gas on the stove on or having bumped it. I bought a methane alarm and put it not too far from the stove. Now all I need to do to make sure there's not a gas leak in the house is just open up the camera and not hear the alarm.
This really rings true with me as someone who's interviewed a few failed founders for PM roles. This was always at early-stage startups, so it wasn't an issue of skills (generalists tend to be great fits for early-stage PM work) but rather a question of whether this was just a temporary stop to shore up finances and get a break from the stress of being a founder until it was time to start the next company.

I believe we only hired one that I interviewed, and sure enough he lasted six months before leaving. Great guy, and we parted ways amicably, but he just couldn't go back.

And now that I'm on the other side of it as an early-stage founder, I honestly feel like my instincts against hiring them were right. If my company failed, I'd probably get a PM job, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to stick with it. On the one hand, it would honestly be really nice to have the stress of ultimate decision making on someone else's shoulders, but at the end of the day, even with the stress, I like being the one to call the shots.

Something more advisory would probably be more interesting, but obviously advisory jobs for startups aren't easy to come by.

The upside for me, at least, is that I didn't decide to start something until I had a healthy financial cushion. I've put some money in, but I'm absolute never going to be one of those back against the wall, deep in credit card debt kind of founders. That would create more stress than I could handle, and I think the glorification of that lifestyle definitely leaves some failed founders in much worse positions than they should end up in.
Over a lengthy career I've discovered that rule number 1 in the engineering world is "Nobody ever reads anything." This holds true even if they were supposed to beforehand and swore on a stack of bibles that they would.
The whataboutism propaganda has no place here.
The best information source I've found is to go to join local political advocacy groups, where a lot of information (and misinformation) spreads about candidates, what they've done in the past, and their likely views on future matters.

This takes a toooooon more time than looking up people once you have a ballot. But I'm the other hand, voting isn't such a huge thing for controlling local political outcomes.

The local officials have a similar lack of information about what voters want. So they tend to be easily influenced by a small number of highly motivated people that show up to meetings. In a town or 50,000, if 100 people show up to a meeting and there's no significant opposition, it's quite likely that the 100 people will win, even if they don't represent the community. Because with the small amount of effort that it took to get 100 people to show to a meeting will go much further come election time, and that 100 people who bothered to show up will remember a vote that went against them when they were the only people that showed up for public input.

IMHO, this is hugely un democratic, and a source of many problems. But it's how politics work: connections and organizing, instead of a poll of everybody's opinion on every issue.
It's not going to help if this ran on production. But I can't recommend mailtrap.io enough for catching all emails sent from staging/development. Nice for testing as well since you have an inbox you can view all emails from.
>Is Starlink such a big deal that it would materially affect phased array costs?

I guess I think the Starlink terminal is technically one of the coolest and least appreciated aspect of the whole system. Sure it's not a military AESA system but getting that level of phased array into a 100W all weather CPE with a $500 target price they plan to produce tens of millions of is something I don't think has ever been done before, and it definitely could blaze a trail in terms of economies of scale there. SpaceX's rockets and sats seem to get most of the press, and are certainly critical, but the terminal is also a big deal IMO.

I mean, think about it: they've built an end point that will do a point to point link of 500+km to base stations with relative velocities of kilometers per second and can user-imperceptibly swap between multiple ones in real time while maintaining a bandwidth of hundreds of megabits per second. For $500 (granted it's probably costing them at least double/triple that right now, but they aren't making tens of millions yet either). A much more cut down, cheaper version of that could still make a number of terrestrial PtP/PtMP links a great deal easier for random people to take a swing at and get even better results with then now.

Again, I'm certainly no expert at all. But I've kicked the tires on a little of this stuff a bit, recently got my first chance to work with second gen 60 GHz links for example and those feel like a certain amount of work to get just right over multi-km ranges. But if for another $100 suddenly they just handle it themselves as long as they're within 10-20° horizontal/vertical? It'd make some aspects of installs more accessible and cheaper which doesn't seem like a bad thing to look forward to?

OP is of course right that none of this addresses the many other aspects of doing networking.
