> Do you know what executives do care about? Revenue. Lost deals.

This is often why engineering needs aren't covered. Things are presented as risks and expense, instead of in terms of revenue. A $10,000 expense actually wipes out $10,000 in net profit, so you need to generate revenue sufficient to create $10,000 in net profit. Most companies have really rosy gross margins, but really tight net margins, so a $100K expense will take $2.8 Million in revenue to offset it. Finally, there is how risk frames what you present. If you come at me with "this might happen" the other side of the coin is "this might not happen", and most managers will avoid the certainty of expense for the possibility of an expense.

If you are working with a CEO, valuation is where it's at. Try to understand the swing in company valuation based on profit. Present to the CEO like this: "X is highly likely to happen within Y months, and it will impact $Z in net profits, leading to a change in company valuation of up to $N." Make sure $N is enough to matter. You just took 98% of the arguments against taking action off the table.
Why do we trust Fakespot? I’ve found their (secret) algorithm to have questionable results. Just yesterday, its analysis highlighted a positive review as the top negative review for a product. I’ve come across several examples of crap products with gamed reviews (evidenced by negative reviews with documentation) that it didn’t detect.

Also, there are concerns about how much of our data their browser plug-in is vacuuming up.
Totally agree. Something that could interrogate and answer arbitrary questions about complex or new codebases would be incredible.
Nothing like this is still actually in production is it?

Or there is something going on that we don't know about. It seems unlikely that all the politics in the world is conducted in places that random people like us have access to.
Another thing about this is that artists permit themselves to not fully understand the technology of things, so they just use it, in a way that maybe the ones who understand how it works doesn't because they are already fascinated with how it works
I hope too in the future :)
No. Qualified immunity protects individuals from liability from the
state's mistakes.
It's similar to how you are not liabile for hurting someone while you are doing your job properly, and why you can't sue a Comcast customer service rep for stealing your money in a billing error.

Sovereign immunity (the principle that the state rules over all so no one can force the state to do anything) protects the state from liability from its own mistakes. You can only sue the state if the state decides to allow it.
After some time educating myself on this manner, I ran into police while (maybe) speeding. I hit brakes as soon as I spot them to get on speed limit, and as I passed them they started to follow, stopping me shortly after.

The conversation went exactly like parent comment describes: "You must be in a hurry when you drive so fast". I, knowing they probably have no proof of my speeding, responded with "Well, I drive a car", intentionally evading anything incriminating.

They tried again a few times with "You drive always this fast?" And "Well you must have driven fast, since we saw you breaking hard when you saw us", to both of which I replied with a smile and "I drive a car".

After roughly three times I told them I drive a car, it seemed they got the hint they aint gonna get anything on me, so they gave me 10$ fine for my two weeks expired driving licence (I had no idea), for which I thanked them for letting me know.

Funny thing is, they tested me for alcohol, but regarding drug test they told they wont test me as they think I am not a drug user. That surprised me, as my two stops before I was tested for drugs. I account that to my confidence (and good mood thanks to it) during this last encounter, as the two before happened before I educated myself and was nervous.

Tldr: educate yourself to the point of being confident during traffic stop and it might go much smoother
> Only difference is they fund their country via the oil fund not some monarch kleptocracy family.

This is not the case though. The government for the first time ever withdrew funds from the fund in 2016 while the fund has been around since the 70s

In general oil is really important for the governments budget but not through the fund but taxation instead (both the companies and the highly paid workforce)

Mesh is such an awesome project. I remember when the pandemic lockdowns started I spoke to friends that teach in poorer neighborhoods and they regarded the schools plans as a joke: even if they distributed Chromebooks/tablets to every student without one, a lot of them didn’t have an internet connection to use it with. A Mesh network with antennas on top of public buildings (schools, libraries) could have been a huge asset.

That said, I don’t have a Mesh internet connection because I live in a large apartment building and would need permission from the building owner to install anything. Even then, there are thirty-odd units in my building so splitting that antenna bandwidth between all of us wouldn’t amount to much. A better option (that Mesh provides) is for large buildings to get fiber connections and share bandwidth with the Mesh network at large. But that would require considerable involvement from my building management and they couldn’t care less.

Given how common that is it seems like a big hurdle for the project, while corporate competitors like Starry will probably have an easier time convincing skeptical owners. Fingers crossed that as they roll out more locations more building owners will get on board.
Please give any example! I have never found anything that specifically does repeatable checklists.
Dunno if this is allowed or not, but paywall free version is here: https://archive.is/Z6GXD

This article only focuses on the human subjects. But that's not all of neuroscience.

There are different reasons to prefer one gender over the other in experiments with animals. For example, female rodents are easier to handle and less aggressive so they are preferred in behaviour studies but they are also hormonally more complex than male rodents which can interact with biological signals that you are measuring. Furthermore, some studies are done over both genders so that their final results can be reported to be true independent of gender. So it really depends on what one is trying to study and to what level gender can or can not affect that study.
Have you not been on the market lately? Any software engineer has nearly infinite opportunities, and the same is true for many other roles around IT. Dependence doesn't look like that.
Open Cycling Maps combines OSM data with open source topo data and works really well. The gold standard for digital hiker is a gpx track made by experienced mountaineer, on top of OCM.

Between that, satellite imagery and offline capabilities of a modern phone and a hiking app that supports these formats you're all set.

The reason that you should have a topo map and compass, and know how to use them is that your battery cannot be expected to serve you throughout a multi-day hiking/camping trip.
> You need a Xiaomi account to enable debugging (adb).

Just unlock and root the thing as soon as you get it and Xiaomi will not get any data - either put LineageOS on it or de-fang MIUI by removing the nasty bits. Don't use the phone with a logged-in Mi account, the only valid reason for using the Mi account is to get the unlock code. Once unlocked and rooted you can remove nearly all the Mi-account-related parts from the phone as well as the ad-related APKs. If you happen to disable debugging over USB (adb) you can re-enable it without using a Mi account (in a terminal, use root):

setprop persist.security.adbinput 1
setprop persist.security.adbinstall 1

Open /data/data/com.miui.securitycenter/shared_prefs/remote_provider_preferences.xml in an editor and add <boolean name="security_adb_install_enable" value="true" /> before the closing </map> tag. Reboot the device and voila, adb works again.

...or just install LineageOS and be done with it, you'll probably end up doing this anyway so why wait?

Good solutions in this space tend to be quite pricey.

Qlik might have some solution for this purpose. Dunno what it costs but perhaps cheaper than Tableau at least.

AFAIK .edu is used by pretty much all US universities, and very few outside the us. I went to a university that does have a .edu domain (ethz.ch is aliased as eth.edu), but that was a completely undocumented feature. You just had to be in-the-know.
2x the initial cost seems reasonable. If the estimate was this wrong, it's useless and the project needs to be reestimated.

How does that work? Proxying the video would be prohibitively expensive.
You're not seeing correct predictions because you're choosing to look at the worst ones and you're not looking at the more average ones.

I've seen dozens of instances of fairly scary predictions from 2000ish which were originally for 2050 and are coming true the last five years.

Weather maps predicting scorching heat in France which i remember thinking "there's no way this will ever be that bad", and what do you know, it is that bad.

Warnings about floods, glaciers entirely disappearing, heat domes.

Warnings about the possibility of methane reservoirs releasing into the atmosphere as permafrost melts.

These aren't warnings anymore, they're news stories from the past couple years.

Do you somehow believe it's just a coincidence? That it'll get better, we don't need to do anything?

Everything about what you're saying is a choice you are making. You are choosing to dismiss evidence. Choosing to adopt an attitude which lets you ignore reality. Choosing to put your fingers in your ears. Choosing to compare events that happen over millennia to events that happen over decades.

Make better choices.
Had anyone tried this with ReactOS?
I love React. I love the elegance and flexibility of it's architecture, and the power of it's modularity. There are so many really great reasons to use React.

This article is absolute nonsense from start to finish. What amounts to basically "lying" about the complexity of vanilla JS actually ends up mainly just doing a massive disservice to React which shouldn't need false comparisons to show it's benefits.

Maybe they're just being disengenuous but I got the distinct impression from many of the examples that the author doesn't actually know vanilla JS at all.

Regularly for Android seems similar.

I find that having something on my screen while working is also useful. What I'm doing now is using something with a simple UI (like Notepad on Windows) and Power Tools to create a dedicated spot on my desktop space.

Whenever something comes to mind, I jot it down. Most important is that I write out the next thing that I want to be working on and then indented is the next step. I might create a section for each project where I'll place further steps which I thought of which I haven't arrived to yet. I still add my current items to the "Stream" section. Whenever I find myself drifting off, I have that log to get me back on track.

It's simple and it's one of the very few things I have tried which has "stuck" in the last few years.

Edit: I'm not sure I would call what I have as ADHD. I just have so much stuff going through my head that I "lose the thread" easily and forget what I was doing. I don't see how it could be any other way since I can't run multiple threads in my head. I find that the fix for me other than the log is to have the discipline to focus rather than allowing myself to go down rabbit trails for things which aren't on my list. I also find that for whatever reason, I can only do this in an office environment. I think the office creates structure which forces me to experience time differently. When I feel how scarce time is, then I'm not as likely to procrastinate.
Hopefully I'll make an Android version in the future, or a web app.

I used TickTick alot for this previously, I used to check the items complete then when I wanted to go through the list again I would just uncheck them and then the next day it would be checking them if that makes sense.
A pretty notable example is probably BattlEye, which is used by several major FPS games [1] like Tarkov, Rainbow Six and PUBG.

They banned the use of virtual machines [2] back in 2020 and their AC solution does not work on Linux.

Valve seems to be working on it [3], though their solution might be tailored to their SteamDeck hardware instead of a generic proton fix.

I wanted to like PM and became a visionary subscriber years ago. But I left after painfully discovering that their web client (which was the only option at that time) was just not built for busy inboxes. Even today, many of the original pain points exist.

The UI is still clunky, and paging through the inbox is really terrible. Now they will promote their bridge to allow you to use Outlook or whatever, but that's not a solution for some of us.

I assume their need for revenue is what drives the features-before-improvements approach, but I know it is costing them some potential customers.

Nowadays I only use PM for special occasions, such as needing a temporary private email conversation with someone (who also sets up a new temp PM account).

I have found Tutanota to be much better in terms of usability. I can't speak for their security quality compared to PM, but honestly, unless you're only communicating with other local users, your emails are unencrypted at the other end. So the whole encryption topic is moot in many cases.
Medicinal Chemist (and former cannabis consumer) here.

>I like weed as a productive drug, it's stronger than caffeine for me, but I develop tolerance...

Interestingly, I used to notice that once I became tolerant to one strain, over a couple weeks, switching to another strain could at least partially alleviate it.

This to me is fascinating. Psychoactive effects of cannabinoids are thought to be mediated by the CB1 receptor. Cannabis strains can vary strongly in their perceived effects. Are there subtypes of the CB1 receptor differentially activated by the various cannabinoids present at different levels in the strains? For instance CB1a and CB1b? I do not think this is known.

>If my focus is better on weed, is there something else I can do for focus that isn't drug related?

This sounds like a line from John Stewart in some stoner movie
Thanks for your insight. In the recommendation scenario that freshness is important, real-time recommendation is more in demand.
Before? No, but other cultures did and I will probably do so when I have a cold/flu or in flu season going forward. There is logic in such passive protection - I’ll also wash my hands a little more and a little better.

I am also unaware of definitive studies that vaccinated people or post-COVID people can’t spread an infection. Fight it, yes, but neutralize it?

Let’s also wait until a season passes without a significant COVID spike before we talk about post COVID. Full vaccination rates are below desired guidelines and there are many areas where vaccination is low or basically absent.

Thanks, added feedback in an edit to my original comment before seeing this.
Here is my anecdata after being a regular user for 30+ years.

>I like weed as a productive drug, it's stronger than caffeine for me, but I develop tolerance and addiction quickly. Any solution to the tolerance problem? Quitting/breaks is obvious.

You have to limit your intake. It's really easy to over do it with pipes and bongs. You'll end up getting 10x as much as you need and blow your tolerance.

>Is investing in weed stocks encouraging drug addiction/use? Is it ethical to promote drug use?

No less ethical than investing in entertainment.

>Is there a way to microdose? I'd like to be able to have tiny, controlled amounts every time.

The best way is to use a vape pen and oil. Set a low wattage and then count x seconds while hitting it.

>Is there a solution to munchies?

Smoke less. It's a symptom of smoking too much. You feel more sober after eating. The hunger is your brain trying to get sober.

>Has anyone been able to convince a fortune 500 company that they need(medical) marijuana for work? As mentioned I'm significantly more focused, but I don't like the social stigma. I already have the job, it's purely a cultural/social problem.

Not fortune 500 but I've known multiple cancer patients where it was not as stigmatized.

> Are my memory problems due to weed or is this just age? (When not using) I feel like I've lost lots of childhood memories and I have more difficulty than ever with names.

Weed messes with your memory pretty significantly. If you were high when the memories formed you will struggle to remember them when not high. I learned how to play guitar while high and can't really play if I'm not. I'd need to spend a lot of time relearning how to play sober.

>If my focus is better on weed, is there something else I can do for focus that isn't drug related?

Competitive gaming. Join a clan.
This will then fold in on itself. The AI will start learning upon its own generated code, as there is no differentiator from what it wrote before. It has got a leg up from training on lots of human code, some brilliant written, some not, but eventually it will start dog fooding its own creations.

I am honestly pleased I am not using a Microsoft IDE and won't be part of all this crap. I have already started creating new projects on GitLab from now on.
Yeh, I know the route too. I think I'm just of the boy scout opinion that you should have the kit and be prepared, especially as you say when conditions change so quickly.

This is what Valorant does and just does not work. People saying "yeah game dev are lazy, why not everything is done server side" this is really a naive view of game dev.

(In one case.)

You had to wade through a bunch of psychological projection and stereotype reinforcement to get there.
I don't think so. I believe it's because without a virtual DOM and a diff, how would react do rendering at all? The whole point of react is you just have a functional "render" method, so you need to render _somewhere_ (and it can't be the DOM for a variety of reasons, eg. deleting and rebuilding the whole DOM would be slow and break things like focus).

Svelte is different and doesn't export a render function -- the component knows what DOM nodes need to change for a given prop/reactive var change, so it doesn't need a virtual DOM (and can be much faster as a result)
> In regards to player positions: check which player locations are occluded and wouldn't be visible through the geometry, then only send the valid ones for each player. Of course, doing this on high tick servers could prove to be computationally intensive.

What's your tolerance on this? Too low and players will complain that other players pop into view and kill them in the event of latency. Too high and cheaters still have access to the most valuable cases of information, when there's a chance for one player to get the drop on the other.

What about strategy games which rely on their lockstep simulation for performance? How would an RTS work if it's sending the locations of 100s of units in real time versus just player actions. Do you want to have to implement prediction and deal with warping in such a game?
