Congratulations. You beat 100 to 1 odds that you will die.

Personally, I don't know why anyone would take that bet when they don't have to.
Is this a problem solely on smart phone security? Let's say the data being collected by the app someone is using is on a hypothetically secure phone. Isn't the real breach from the apps collecting more data than necessary to provide the functionality the app provides, and then selling that data to anyone with the right amount of cash?

If the app is free so the selling of the data is the number one source of income, then as "enlightened" technerds we shouldn't be too surprised this can happen. However, it's not illegal. Is it the selling of user data collected by your service the thing that needs to be made illegal? How would that even work?
I like the concept. But I found myself thinking "who that I follow is prominent enough to be listed". I'd love to say "this is my Twitter account, tell me who of the people I follow is listed on your service". Note that you shouldn't need to make me link my Twitter account or give you any permissions to do that; the list of people I follow is available to anyone with a Twitter account.
It's really difficult to get people off the no-code train...

As another commenter pointed out, US health insurance did not typically cover mental insurance until relatively recently, making diagnosis impossible for many.
I use it a lot for file uploads in web browser.

A good (only?) workaround is using alt tab but if you have many open programs it can be quite annoying.
I'm torn on this one. I feel bad for the priest, but at the same time he chose to devote his life to an organization that hates people like him and has played a role in anti-gay sentiment throughout the world. Also, nothing wrong with being gay, but there is something wrong with having a libido so out of control that you're looking for hookups literally every day.

I think the biggest danger for the developer crowd is that Apple locks down MacOS so much that our tools and workflows become more limited and difficult to use. I'm not saying that will happen, but it seems more possible today than it did five years ago.
When I did construction, many conversations were about the generous retirement benefits.

It was always, "When I retiree I will be able to do this, and that, in comfort."

There was always the big decision of shouid I retire at 25 years (25 year old working 25 years), or get a few hundred more if I wait until 65?

I knew a person who worked accounting at the union.

She told me the average retire whom waits for the bigger pay day, cashed 3 checks.

3 checks----dead. (I was so shocked by this I never told anyone including my father.)

The wives did get 1/2 of the retirement, and lived off that for 10-20 years.

(I guess I should have been content with any work that offered a retirement?)
It's crazy... I'm already seeing similar salary ranges in Baltics, which aren't nowhere near as expensive as The Netherlands...

So I followed over 1,000 people on Twitter because I valued them for "some field" or other, but that may have been years ago. And I did a terrible job organizing my follows into lists.

So now my Twitter is full of somewhat useful people, but I can't really use it quickly populate a list on your site.

I'd like it if your signup process included easy access to suggested lists on topics like "longevity" or "virtual reality". I see a lot of the people I want on your home page, but I can't really use that during signup without two windows open.
Swagger/OpenAPI examples are bad, like reaaalllyy bad
While reading about the OpenAPI spec, I found these examples for "good" APIs:

- https://petstore.swagger.io/ (older version)

- https://petstore3.swagger.io/

However, imho they are really bad examples as they do not follow basic principles of good API design.
Here are some reasons:

1. They use "/pet" instead of "/pets" for the pet collection (Besides the fact that "/pets" isn't even an endpoint and you can not get a list of all pets ^^).

2. The login & logout endpoints are under /user (i.e. /user/login, /user/logout)

3. You do not use PUT on a collection as they did with PUT /pet

4. You do not use POST as they did with /pet/{pet_id} to update a single resource.

5. You do not use POST to create a resource and PUT to update the same resource as they did with PUT /pet and POST /pet

Some might argue that it is a matter of opinion that these examples are bad. You may be right, but at minimum an API should be self-consistent. But even that is not the case here.

That's why I'm wondering what this is all about. Do I not know the latest API design principles yet or why are the examples for a de facto industry standard so lousy?

And btw what is your opinion on the API design of the examples?
I mean, containers can provide isolation. Linux has had a hard time getting that to be reliable because it started with the wrong model: building containers subtractively rather than additively. Though even starting with the right model, until you have isolation for every last bit of shared context that the OS provides (harder to identify than it may seem at first blush!) you won't have a complete solution. And yes, software-based containers will tend to have some leakage. Even sharing hardware with hardware isolation features might not be enough (hello row hammer).

It would be good to have containers aim to provide the maximum possible isolation.
What a good answer! Worth more than a upvote!!
What does that have to do with software engineers? I highly doubt any of the software engineers just up and decided to remove the feature one day on a whim. Someone outside of software engineering likely came up with the idea. Do you expect people to quit over removing drag and drop on the task bar?
Original comment was satirizing C++, it started as a (relatively) simple code generator that consumed a custom OOP variant of C and produced pure C. It grew into... well C++.
What? If that's true, they've gone completely insane. I know non 16:9 panels have been making a resurgence but most panels will be portrait for a while.

Besides, windows has had the best vertical taskbar implementation from all DEs since 95.
I wouldn't do that to avoid prank calls or harassing, not due to privacy.
I take issue with one part of this. Disclaimer, I work for D-Wave....

> It is unclear how exactly one can verify that a "quantum code" actually runs on a quantum computer (instead of a classical node inserted between the cloud and the QC provider), and there is a huge window for fraud there.

I would like to know what the article's author would take as proof of this. All I can offer presently is my personal assurance as a team member helping to keep D-Wave Leap running. Every day, I work with a team of talented scientists, engineers, devops, and developers to help ensure everything from pipeline performance to monitoring cryogenics, and if there's one thing that I am certain of, it's that our end user submissions run on real hardware at a few millikelvin about absolute zero.

I am certain beyond any shadow of a doubt that we are using quantum effects to achieve low-energy solutions to difficult problems using annealing. I'm also certain that we're making huge progress; from our massive lead in terms of raw qubit count (5000+) to our work making each of those qubits connect to more and more of their neighbours with less noise over time. There are exciting things coming....

If other companies are getting away with anything less and promising they're doing real-time quantum computing in the cloud, (1) it would be a huge surprise, and (2) their lives must be a lot cushier than ours, because it is a lot of work keeping something like this running. You want to talk about the woes of having to manage on-prem and hybrid cloud workloads, well, does your datacenter have plumbing for liquid helium? You monitor the temperature on a few server racks, but do you have to measure ten thousand different datapoints about air and fluid temperature and pressure?

Honestly, it's a lot of fun, it's an exciting thing to be working on, and I don't agree with the author when he complains about brain drain. You want brain drain, go and look at the infinitum of startups hawking SaaS grift-ware like it's the next best thing since sliced bread. Sorry if we find it more interesting to work on this than on the next B2B way of slicing off a chunk of someone else's revenue for providing something obvious. "We do these things because they are hard", as the saying goes.
For me the inability to move the taskbar on the left side would be a no go. Vertical space on a 16:9 monitor is too precious. Maybe this will be the time I finally rotate my monitor

Using copper is weird.

The New Zealand government invested ~ £750 million into fibre to the premises infrastructure, in partnership with other companies. About 80% of NZ homes have access, with say half of those actually using it, but percentage is growing. Usable plans are about £40 per month. In my city you can’t sign up to a cable connection, even if the house is already wired up for it. I belive you even have trouble signing up for copper, because the infrastructure companies just don’t want to support it. The main competitor left is mobile, although I would love to see StarLink be available here.

Thoughts, feelings, and sensations come and go in the mind, whereas "You" are made of pure perception. You are the presence of awareness, the self that knows, that observes the mind, body, and world.

> Did they really make the decision or did they just think they made it?

They acted out of instinct and impulse, then rationalized their behavior afterward. (The majority of human action comes in this way, since it costs minuscule amounts of energy compared to intentional, logical behavior.)

Ah thats whats going on. Happened to me as well, I just assumed that Sony is neglecting PS4 performance with its new system, while bogging it down with bloatware.
I mean if you're dumb enough to tie yourself to garbage proprietary software that constantly sucks, has majority security flaws as features, removes features, spies on you, and charges you money to use it on every computer, then you're getting what you asked for and you just don't realize it.
Most of the links or posting doesn't even describe what was the causes, problem and the case is all about. As soon as I saw "suicide" I thought this was very serious. So I had to dig one up myself.

Quick question, please excuse my ignorance, but is there a way to extrapolate sequence from structure? In other words, can we design proteins and calculate the sequence required to make it?

Well, they used to be nicer before they started smoking a lot. Then they developed a newer, more irritable personality, which only lifted when they were high. In my experience the same sort of thing can happen with alcoholics.
This is a great read - I love the Italian accountancy history lesson at the start.
> The retirement age has been increasing together with life expectancy.

I'm unsure with what the issue with this is. But this also isn't true. People have been living longer in retirement. This is often a talking point when people talk about social security. There's a growing gap between when people retire and when they die, and this means people need to save more and that there is more being drawn from social security.

But I do see a huge difference here. If you can live a thousand years then what's the issue of working your first 100? Or 500? Or 900? You talk about capitalism but recognize that capitalism is about consumption. If you generate enough money to live on passive income you don't stop consuming and the wheels don't stop turning. No one stops consuming till they die, capitalism or not. The rich still get rich. But I'd rather have 100+ years of retirement than 20, even if nothing else changes.

> The fact of the matter is: you have to have some negotiation skills if you want to get paid the best you possibly can, regardless of your gender.

I think that is still a pretty big issue on it's own. This feels pretty shitty when we bring neurodiversity into view. Coworkers with Autism will have a very hard time negotiating for that pay raise to the same efficiency of others.

You have read the article saying the company was sold in 2011?
It's an internal recuiter for the company. Now given what I've heard so far it's starting to feel like rain on my parade. I haven't yet submitted my acceptance in writing yet. But I really want this job.
All religions require adherence to some sort of dogma and have restricted behavior.
I don't like your proposed solution that uses right to be forgotten as a blunt instrument to paper over serious problems, to used a mixed metaphor. When you appeal to the right to be forgotten to fix problems like people and "prospective employers comb over their embarrassing past", it's a way of throwing up your hands and neglecting deeper issues.

In a right-to-be-forgotten world, the way it would end up going is:

1. problematic potentates punish pitiable proles

2. someone invokes right to be forgotten

3. this is considered "good enough"

4. the problem conditions that allowed #1 to fester remain uncorrected

I feel this way about a lot of stuff these days (especially the where the erosion of the tenets of a liberal society is involved), where people argue vociferously for a "solution" that can at best be considered an indirect way of handling the problem. You see this with a lot of contemporary calls for the dismantling of tradition of free speech/free inquire/freedom of association, for example. People end up chafing in the direction of proposals that have dual-use effects in the first instance and perniciously "null" effects in the second instance.
Microsoft seems to have a knack for making Windows less useful and more annoying with every release.
I used to only put short-circuits when I really needed short-circuit behavior, thinking it improved readability. But after getting by the implicit type conversions over and over (as well as nags from every compiler) I just decided it was a bad idea in C++. I'd still do it in a safer language, but in C++ I'm convinced you should just use && even when you only need & for bools.
Thanks for the recommendations, I'll check them out!
At this point? Yes. They should care enough about computing to take a stand against dragging it backwards. But hell, they won't quit over knowingly and actively making everyone's lives worse and handing tracking information over to oppressive regimes, so I clearly expect too much from them.
I'm sitting thirty feet away from one, friend. It exists. The pulse tube cooler is making a comforting squelchy sound. There is more entropy in your post.

I’m sure there are cultural and genetic components also, but you can simply compare parents and their children over the past few decades in countries with obesity problems to control for some of that.
Sure, make yourself a reasonable force in steering your nation's government, and then come here to lecture us how you are against the authoritarian regimes, and want them disappear. I'll be very happy to work with someone who has the actual power to make things happen, not some half-assed bombing and then nothing changed except the rubbishes on the ground...
No, the connection seems to be paired up through the ground station, so I wouldn't get disconnected via SSH. Mosh may be a better option if you want to make it feel rock solid though.
Why what?

Why I don't agree with it? - Because I don't care what anyone does as long as it doesn't negatively affect anyone/anything else. I just don't have time to care about other people's shit as I have enough of my own shit to worry about.

It's in a different bracket? - Because in the USofA, religions are put in a separate bracket. That's how it was founded.

Religions get to do things others can't? - Because SCOTUS has decided that churches get to ignore certain protections of protected classes because of their religious dogma. They have spoken, so that's how it is.

To be fair, I was completely out of commission for a day after the second shot. I could barely get out of bed, and was achy everywhere.

You’re certainly not going to believe someone if they ever came to you for help, by the level of which you’re willing to twist continuous actions as one-offs - “oh I’m sure it was just a temporary mistake”.
The systemic part is that complaints were not followed up on, and the people being abusive continuously over time not being punished or removed.

Saying it’s a company of 10,000 and that this is a small amount of accusations is really minimizing and that calls into question your motives. That there are so many well documented cases of abuse, retaliation, and discrimination, compared to other organizations of that size should tell you there’s far more going on.

How many is enough for you, Adamrezich? Is 100 cases, or 1% of the company, enough for you? It’s probably about that right now, but even if it’s 10 cases the culture created around non punishment of abuse in itself makes it a more dangerous environment.
I have never had a problem generating C code using C itself. (A fancy way to do this would be to have an ASP-like preprocessor, i.e. a simple program that processes <% ... %> code blocks; this is essentially "inverse quoting," whereby everything that is outside the brackets becomes the contents of a string literal.)
This isn’t extreme negligence of any single individual. If there are linters/compiler warnings that should have caught this, this is an organizational failure that can be remedied and the manager/TL should be taking a bit of a hit here as having those enabled is best practices. Since it’s ChromeOS I imagine there’s a dedicated team managing the build infra and it’s not using the base set of things that Google3 protects you with, so the fault may lie in that organization a bit as an oversight.

Then there’s obviously the automated testing strategy, manual testing strategy and sanitizer strategy that missed this.

The net result is extreme negligence but to me this kind of failure speaks to several layers going wrong at once rather than one person fucking up badly. Organizationally you try to defend against these kinds of failures with multiple layers of defenses.

Now if this was a malicious internal attack that should be investigated but I’d hate to have to seriously reprimand anyone who typo’ed & instead of &&.

Then you're not using it right.

Seriously tho, there's a prior point to be made: why did you ever buy the thing in the first place? "spending money to no end" is a disease, treating the residual by more thorogh housecleaning isn't going to address the cause. For many.

Some really do love their tofu press that way, i reckon the world's better for having them.
Constraint CSS: lay out like it's 1999
Every year or so I reevaluate whether Linux can run without dual boot on my desktop and the cycle is the same - something that was previously a blocker is no longer a blocker, but along the way I discover some other issue. It used to be gaming, GPU video decoding on Firefox, etc. Now it is the fact that most music production software uses iLok - in particular I've been using Neural DSP VSTs to play and record guitar.

If there is a workaround for that I'm onboard... At least until I discover the next blocker.
Great question! Gumroad seems to be focusing more and more on creators with a large following and is pivoting towards that segment of the market. This includes the decision to diversify into physical products, tipping, subscribing to a user (like Patreon), and so on.

Given their refocus/pivot, it's made their interface a little too complex/overwhelming for new sellers and/or sellers who just want to sell digital products without all the hassle. SellApp is built for this segment of the market.
Why would you even need non-shortcircuiting behavior in boolean expressions? Because either side of the operator has side effects that you want to happen unconditionally? Please just write it out as an extra statement then instead of hammering it into place with an implicit coercion to an integer type only so you can abuse bitwise AND and OR only to force that side effect to... you can see why this is probably not the most elegant idea.
