Nolo Press, which is known for putting out do-it-yourself legal books, has a book for writing one's own patents [0]. At the link, there's a sample chapter.

They also have a number of pages on their website related to this topic, which might be worth reading first[1].

Yep. And everyone was afraid of all these drag and drop tools that generated Java code. "You just have to know UML!" was the promise.

I'm reminded of that today in the rare instance when I run into the decision makers that are convinced GUI data engineering tools are the future.
Aside from the fact that they work for the public? One word: trust. Why should employees of the government be harder to fire in the private sector? That is the real question you should ask yourself. Why does the public sector deserve more protections in the private sector? They don’t. They should be held to a higher standard because they are working in the public trust.
Same here (2005), but in Austria. I think Europe still had to catch up to the US‘ pre-2000 level of „digitalisation“ such that the bubble burst didn’t do that much to our industries.
I guess I don’t know enough about the technical differences. Doesn’t the SEC regulate both?
If you are familiar with the term 'Drama channels', they are a very toxic genre where the group finds a target and gives their opinion about the alleged offences.

All good and well except they started to create the drama and their fans would dogpile on people or as twitter would describe 'Targeted harassment campaigns'.

CoffeeZilla is a drama channel often with dubious opinion driven videos. There a few other drama channels in the professional world but I won't give them spotlight.
First of all it depends if it is a old style DLLs, or one that contains COM, as COM adds more execution models.

Additionally, applications can be packaged as DLLs and executed with help of rundll, after being loaded.

Manifests that control the loading process, besides the default way have been added in XP,

Versioning in DLLs have been sorted out with SxS manifests, also in XP,

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/sbscs/isolate...

Previously versioning was sorted with VERSION resource scripts and expecting that developers actually cared about them, which most did not, hence the way .NET does versioning, and the latter improvements with manifest files for the dynamic linker.

In the hands of an experienced UNIX programmer, PHP was a good, small, fast solution for writing web applications.

However, using a framework is the worst kind of toxic advice one could provide: they are slow, bloated, and completely unnecessary. On top of that, best of luck debugging one when things go awry. And one learns nothing using someone else's idea of how things should work. Why should anyone accept someone else's limitations? I refuse.

Where I drew the line is when creating a database connection forced me to instantiate an object: I hate object-oriented programming with a burning passion because of its complexity and inefficiency. When that happened, I knew it was time to ditch PHP for the R programming language, or even write a web application in good old shell and AWK and making it available through (fast) CGI...
In 2021 I find it hard to see anyone losing money on crypto as a victim.
Buying it is pure speculation. Bitcoin pivoted from exchanging value to storing it due to high cost and friction on transactions. And it will pivot again after it fails to store the value next time it crashes.
Crypto is speculative and SEC are to some degree allowing people to gamble a bit - until something seriously blows up and gives them a reason to step in.
TechLead’s coin is a play on DOGE, the original meme coin. Whoever got hurt it this must have ignored loud warnings from all sides.
If you look strictly at the # of seconds spared it might not seem important. But those seconds are often spent in an uncomfortable position which makes them worth more. Or it might be when you are out running and don't want to lose the groove. Or you might be teaching your child how to do it, and you want to simplest solution possible.
I want to assess this situation by facts and not by sentiments for or against TechLead. Could someone please help me understand some facts:

- The reddit post only provides an etherscan link to the transaction in which he adds liquidity. Where did he remove liquidity?

- Permanent removal of liquidity clearly breaks the promise of 1MM for at least 1 USDC. But a temporary removal does not, correct?

- As long as more people want to buy MM, a temporary removal of liquidity leads to a shortage of MM thereby driving price quicker.

- I flat out don't understand the "selling without selling" part.

It appears to me so far neither "MM will go to the moon" nor "1MM for 1USDC is guaranteed" appear to be false statements. Let's not call him a fraudster just yet.
A much less dishonest (or maybe just less naive) way to frame it is to ask whether we're okay with someone exploit systemic weaknesses in human nature en masse for personal gain and to the long-term detriment of those exploited.

This watered down idealized absolute interpretation of 'freedom of choice' is just so goddamn naive, and ignores pretty much everything we know about systemic flaws in human behavior and decision making. We can do so much fucking better than that.
> I looked tech lead up on YouTube as I read the Reddit post and typed up this post. I can’t tell if this guy is trying to be a parody/using dry humor or if he’s a narcissist sociopath.

He's clearly comedic, the question is whether he's also an unhealthy person. I lost interest in him when it looked like he was destroying his own life while simultaneously making a show out of it. I do hope it truly is just a show, because otherwise it's sad that he basically lost his family while being absorbed into an absurd YT personality.
That's just it, though: giving people additional options and choices isn't exploiting them.

Detriment is in the eye of the beholder.
Calling women who politely contradict you “hysterical” is sexist, full stop.

Show HN: Video Diary – Telegram bot for keeping a personal video diary
It helps to organize storing and viewing of non-public videos.
# History

Hi there! I’m sure I’m not the only person who makes short videos about some important moments, achievements and insights. Such information does not benefit others and is only a personal documentation of some points, so there is no need to post it on the social media.

I’ve used private chats for recording and storing the videos. Then Telegram has added folders, and it has become possible to save all the dialogs of such kind on one page. It could be stopped here, but I wished I had a tool that would act as a video manager with „folders”, simplifying the process of storing and viewing materials as comfortably as possible. That’s how @videodiarybot (https://t.me/videodiarybot) has appeared.

# Service’s aim

Telegram bot users can store videos about their insights, achievements and actions in an orderly manner, as a sequence of videos grouped by a common theme. Every such a theme is a separate diary that you can watch whenever you want.

# How does it work?

After starting the bot, you will be offered to create a new diary.

It is possible to create up to 10 diaries on different themes.

By clicking on a certain dialog, you will open the mode for viewing its history.

In order to save a new video, send the video to the bot or record another one. After that you will be offered to choose a diary to add the video in it.

# Summary

The service is quite simple, but at the same time it carries out its duties completely. It took just several afternoons to create it.

My main purpose was to invent something simple to work with for the end user and also me. That’s why the bot deletes unnecessary messages to focus attention on the precise menu. And the process of adding videos consists only of two steps: send the video and click the button.
There was a great series of videos on this called "Contrepreneur Bingo" by Mike Winnet. He took on all the usual suspects - Tai Lopez, Dan Lok, Dan Pena, Tony Robbins, Grant Cardone...

Unfortunately it looks they all got pulled from youtube. Not on bitchute either.
They are sufficiently tight for me, no wiggle. It does depend on the shoe though. With some its very easy and some its hard and risks damaging the back.

Solidity is only the language of the C-Chain, which is basically the EVM with better scalability but only constitutes one part of the ecosystem.

It is currently the most visible part because most of the protocol's features are still under development.

But the Avalanche protocol itself isn't tied to the EVM or Solidity, it is designed to let you run any customized blockchain.
Copilot is going to improve incredibly fast with millions of devs providing ReCaptcha style training data around the clock.
I think the article is fine, the title is just pre-WWW clickbait.

This quote seems a fair assessment, but doesn't exactly match the headline:

"There certainly is going to be a need for more and better technical talent in the high-tech industry."

So enrollment dropped from 2.1% to 1.6% after the hot computer jobs market cooled a bit, and reality set-in for several of the students who weren't very technical, and just expected an easy path to a high-paid job. It's been known to happen.
Seriously, I am a paying customer of chess.com -- I for the life of me could not get a new user signed up to play chess with. We wanted to play and selected the wrong level by mistake ( beginner ) -- it won't allow you to play even if you are friends on the site. Horrible user experience. You want to play variants on your phone, can't. go to the website.. Lichess is just awesome! Play anyone you want, variants on the app. Love it.
I'm not talking about the intelligence of some individuals, but of groups acting as an entity. Let's say aliens look at earth and ask why earthlings don't do anything against their extinction. If the answer they get is "it's too expensive", that seems quite stupid.
The claims in this article, bluntly and simply, are not true: what is described as a 'fad' has grown into one of the hottest professional fields, for decades.
I guess today students flee the field because of the image of ads, privacy infringements and fake news and dark patterns on social media.
I went to university a couple years after that and also felt a similar sentiment that it was basically too late to get in on a good career before the industry got outsourced.

Of course then social media happened and everyone and their grandma needed developers so it didn't matter that people were flooding in because there simply wasn't enough labor to go around.
If the evaluation of a position were only about the raw material count, the game would be rather dull.

Wonder on which world you live - around here the salary for hard real time on embedded are around 30-40k. Personal data point : a few years ago, after my PhD (revolving around some aspects of real-time), I did some interviews to stay fresh and was offered 35k to work on embedded chips used in Dassault missiles.
I told them that I was already making more from freelance consulting at that time, they said tough luck.
The problem is thinking developers equate with being UNIX developers, hit from someone that knows Apple since LC pizza boxes were on sale, the ones Apple cares about are not.
Hi quickthrower2, It's not traditional A/B Testing but SEO A/B Testing. So it will run a test on either your whole website, a particular page/s or a particular keyword/s. You set a time frame for the test then it will show you a detailed list of SEO stats such clicks, impressions, CTR and average position before and after the test time frames and for each device type (desktop, mobile and tablet).
Just like a real copilot in a car or an airplane shouldn't be trusted? Perhaps they should choose a different name then.
> I guess that's the difference between being the outsourcing source and destination :)

Personally i'd agree that this is good for individual employment prospects, but not necessarily good for the country itself.

For example, here in Latvia i've heard that there's a shortage of developers and hence many government projects can't be fully staffed easily, because they're having problems being competitive in regards to wages, when compared to outsourcing companies, like Accenture.

Of course, there's no reason for why any developer should work against their interests in regards to being able to save and earn money, but it does seem interesting - maybe i'm wrong and it's just a regional thing?
Are the people whose work will be disrupted people who the top-tier scientific community care about?

As a working programmer I'd like to have access to scientific papers, but realistically no researcher is going to care whether I do. If the pain isn't being felt by top-tier researchers and top-tier universities, I doubt anyone will be able to change it.
It is more about preservation of entrenched power structures and resource flows than holding knowledge.
It will be hard to extrapolate the findings to other countries.

Iceland has a very different import/export structure by virtue of the the geography, farming and natural resources. This in turn significantly affects the price of certain goods and services, such as restaurants and dining out culture, for example. Ultimately people will have a drastically different basket of consumer goods /desires than in other developed countries, and it will require different involvement in the labor market.

I’m not saying a 5 day work week in America is necessary, I’m saying we have more than enough, just our consumer culture keeps us busy. We have food, shelter, heat, but Americans want that nicer car, that name brand clothing, to keep up with the Joneses

Pressure from developers. Right now, sites just have to work with WebKit because all browsers on iOS use it. Once browsers with alternative engines are available, developers can just drop a "Works best in Chrome" badge (just like the "Designed for IE" badges from the 90s) on the page and call it a day, putting the onus on users to install a compatible browser.

But if you could see through the hype and bought one of the houses in PA for cheap today you would have been set for life.
Maybe the way I'd phrase it is the knowledge you learn at university, to the extent that it's applicable, is actually just indexing.

So for instance I figured out that numerical methods are a thing that you can use to approximately solve differential equations, which often don't have a nice analytical solution.

Can I solve differential equations? Not anymore. Can I solve one by the end of this week? Definitely.

What you do in college is a bit of intellectual tourism, looking at wide variety of topics briefly. There are natives who depend on the tourists for part of their living, who know every nook and cranny of PDE solvers. But like in the real world we're mostly at home in one place and tourists everywhere else.

The other answer to your question is that you build up an intuition for where the dragons are. The more tourism you do, the more you come to suspect there are other continents in certain places.
But are they searchable, by users with little technical ability? Will they be updated with new papers if Sci-Hub shuts down?
This has been discussed at length several times before and the answer to why you use a regex like that to validate emails is because you aren't trying to validate against a standard, but against a subset of email formats. You want a "normal" simple email. No "+" domains etc. Because it doesn't matter if you annoy the 0.01% of your users that would be negatively affected by that, it's better to have their simple/canonical emails.

On the right side of the @ I agree completely, e.g. you must allow longer tlds. The regex is shit. But the same "simplification" thing would apply for IPv4: I'd probably want to have 4 groups of {0-9} even if a valid ipv4 address could be written in a lot more creative ways than that. The normal/simple/canonical way to write the address is a smaller scope than the set of allowed ways.

The regex to parse any valid email and the regex to parse the info I want, (perhaps from the user subset I want!) can be very different.

Edit: don't shoow the messenger - there is just zero chance you want a db that is more likely to contain user errors, has less valuable emails in it.

"Enter your email" doesn't mean "Enter a string that can be considered valid according to the RFC"!

No one cares whether "foo/baz=frob@example.com" is a valid email adress or not. In some cases you want RFC-compliant addresses, in which case it's a perfectly good idea to parse strictly to the spec. But in most cases you want a user identifier you know you can also contact with 100% certainty using some email SaaS. Or one you can cross reference to some other source. That's stricly a different purpose than parsing RFC compliant addresses. And allowing "foo@bar"@baz.com is just not a good idea.
CMS can do a “Coverage Determination” as they often do and either not cover it at all (unlikely) or severely limit it’s use (likely) potentially to patients who agree to be a part of a registry where outcomes are collected.
> Why is she bullish on potentially winning the case? Is there a law in India that she is counting on? Or as I suspect she is counting on a sympathetic judge who might rule in her favor by finding some precedent from around the world.

Yes. Indian courts have ruled that photocopying books isn’t copyright violation, i assume we can expect a similar judgement for copying research papers.

from https://www.indialegallive.com/cover-story-articles/il-featu...

"Copyright, specially in literary works, is thus not an inevitable, divine, or natural right that confers on authors the absolute ownership of their creations. It is designed rather to stimulate activity and progress in the arts for the intellectual enrichment of the public. Copyright is intended to increase and not to impede the harvest of knowledge. It is intended to motivate the creative activity of authors and inventors in order to benefit the public."
He got fired from Facebook his comments on woman working in STEM, then later he was shadow banned on his main account for making videos linking BLM donations to the domains of the biden campaign - which went viral on twitter leading people to label him as a racist. After that he started 'Tech lead show' channel.

Also him and another youtuber domain squatted another coding prep site which they sued for and won it back.
The majority of mainstream chess streamers, apart from the glorious Eric Rosen who's a huge lichess supporter.
They pay streamers to make it look big, and then their viewers have to use chess.com if they want to play them.

I have fallen in love with chess again over the past few months, and lichess is an absolutely amazing experience. Their mobile clients (iOS/Android) are both fantastic and BS free.
And besides, let's get real, nobody would look at the links - it defeats the purpose of copilot.
Open access is not fairly standard. In my area (chemistry) there is no requirement and people stick to the paid journals. Why? Because of the prestige, which was my point all along.

Despite all the complaints of being "predatory", people still submit to those journals and volunteer their time. Why? Stockholm Syndrome? No. "Inertia"? No.

It's because they get something they can't get out of open source journals - a publication in a highly prestigious journal.

My point is everyone likes to say Elsevier offers "nothing" yet, what you call "inertia" (I call it "wanting what Elsevier has to offer") keeps them coming back to you point - maybe for decades?

> i.e stuff that's not central to actual dev work.

For developers that only care about POSIX CLI and daemons, others from us actually don't care about it and do graphics and GUI programming, where the screens and GPGPUs play a big role.

Yes, it is central to our actual dev work.
El Toro: “match postal addresses to IPs with exact precision”
And it’s come full circle because today the majority of the Western world’s computing needs are served by five computers: Google’s, Facebook’s, Apple’s, Microsoft’s and Amazon’s.

It seems to me like we are somehow blurring the lines of what is and isn't a scam because things like this are so obviously a scam.

Suppose I see a guy on the street selling 1 dollar raffle tickets for a nearby sports car. If I buy the ticket knowing that I'm probably not going to win and there's a decent chance the guy on the street doesn't even own the car and is just going to run off - am I really getting scammed, or am I knowingly participating in a high risk and high reward bet?

With the Million Token thing, he's not even pretending that the token does anything. I had honestly understood it as a comedic illustration of the uselessness of cryptocurrency. You can buy into it and if you sell at the right time you might make money, but it is definitely a zero sum game. Is this a scam?

Obviously it's a scam if he promised he would buy the token at a minimum of 1 dollar and he isn't doing that. He should face whatever criminal or civil penalties are applicable if he's committing fraud. But, if he does what he said he would do, then it seems like a transparent bad odds gambling game where he gets a significant cut/advantage.
I accept google's and Facebooks terms, and I still don't expect to be tracked across the internet to pay for the services they give me. Basically: my expectation is that companies aren't behaving as badly as their terms allow them to.
