This. My name is a whimsical permutation of a Monacan name but I’m south Asian so it confuses the heck out of people. So I just go by Ray, which frankly is kind of a sketchy name, like “Trent” or “Chad.” But it’s easy to pronounce.

It’s no big deal! Why would I take offense when an American who is often mispronouncing his own French, German, or Polish family name mispronounces mine? (Sorry, Mr. Koch, your name is “Cock” not “Coke.”)

I have been competitive. I'm sort of an all-or-nothing person - my level of effort is either below a 5/10 or I'm at a 10/10. I think it's mostly done out of necessity at this point in my life. Like I need to get something done and just do it. When I was younger and played sports it was about just having fun (winning is more fun), doing your best, and not letting the team down.

I don't feel jealousy about other people's success. Sometimes I do feel that specific people don't deserve it and that there are others who do (not me, but others). I know several people who are younger than me who are much farther in their career. I'm more disappointed by the company screwing me over than the other people not getting screwed over. I guess you could say I'm pissed at the refs for not giving me a level playing field.

I'm not sure I have much in the way of advice. The only thing I can think of is to step up when you see that people need you. I was an intermediate developer on a team without a tech lead. I saw the team's needs and that nobody else wanted to do it, so I did. The company screwed me over, never even promoted me to senior dev, and outsourced my job. But they can't take the respect I earned from my team and the other teams that I interacted with in that role - they can't take something from you that is earned from those around you. Plus, it can be fun to see coworkers' faces in shock when you tell them your an intermediate developer when they thought you were a senior for the prior couple years they worked with you.

This gets at the heart of why the problem is so widespread. Beginners are the last people you can expect to figure out how to install and use the “right” library. Watching someone learn programming (from actual nothing) is very insightful - they often don’t stop and think because they have no intuition. Rather they flail in the dark until they land on something that almost works and use that as the kernel of their solution. PHP used to have very poor flail-performance and you still see it in things that are trickier to index and refute like videos.

If you're just after "software-development-capable" and not a high-spec games beast, there are plenty of office refurb sellers that offer generic Dell/HP/etc desktop boxes. You can usually find an i5/i7 with 32GB RAM for £200ish.

Might want to get a fresh SSD separately though, and I'm assuming you've probably got monitor/mouse/keyboard lying around. Ok, it might cost you more like £300-£350, but it's still a lot of bang for your buck. I've done it a few times now and been very happy with the results.

Definitely. Building it is relatively straightforward, there are many great utilities in there (not just ML stuff), the maintainer cares a great deal, and the documentation is truly exceptional (like, overall. Not just the website docs).
It's especially difficult to watch without paying. Over the air (or locast) is about the only option but that only provides highlights or coverage of shorter events. No broadcasting of football.

I used to think that too before I made the switch to macOS. Yes it was a learning curve initially, but it wasn't unmanageable, and you start to uncover Windows annoyances that you never knew existed because you were used to them and conditioned into thinking they were normal for so long.

I live in germany and even in "structually weak" eastern regions you can get by ok without a car unless you live in a very tiny village or are physically impaired. Public transport could be way cheaper though.

It's the OS. The application distribution model is, in my opinion, significantly better than Linux and it's package management/repo scheme. I don't have to recompile old software to keep using it 2 years later (or 10 for that matter), I can place applications on different disks than the OS resides on, I can keep multiple versions of the same application, etc.
I've been watching on the "site where you can actually watch live. And they have replays… of preliminary matches" and I've found it to be really good. You can choose any sport to watch live, or to watch the compilation broadcasts that they show on TV. You can pause and rewind broadcasts. Many of the sport titles do have the competitor or country names in them. And each stream does have a button the side to view the rules of the sport.
Hence the P for potentially.

yesenadam 1 day ago | parent [–] | on: Electromagnetism is a property of spacetime itself...

That reminds me of Roger Penrose's 1100pp The Road to Reality: A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe, which I was very excited about reading when I bought it years ago. Lots of lovely diagrams.
Turns out I could learn almost nothing from it, although I really tried: The first half of the book was basic stuff I already knew, but I could understand nothing of the second half, it passed so quickly from the elementary to the super-advanced. I ended up wondering who it was written for—I imagined everyone would have a similar experience, whatever their level—it's stuff you already know until suddenly it's stuff you can't understand, and no way of passing beyond."

This is nearly universally an answer to the request" tell me you don't understand something you think you understand without telling me that you don't understand something that you think you understand"

> there are sounds and consonants people just cannot make past a certain age

That's false.

> why go for perfection?

It's politeness, nay, more than that: respect. Trying hard to produce a name as accurately as one can shows one's dialogue partner or audience that one is making an effort. A name is a very personal thing. People like it when they notice that they are paid attention to, and will approve of and in their mind raise the social status of the speaker.

Positive examples are:

• Max Miller of "tasting history" who quite obviously spends some time to learn a word or name correctly from an experienced speaker.

• Louis Rossmann who does not prepare, but is apologetic ("pardon me for butchering the pronunciation") or would altogether skip reading a name out loud rather than mangling it. This is okay because the text of the news article is also on the screen.

Negative examples are:

• Most other people who in general just hope for the best and simply blindly apply the rules from the embedding language (here: English), or if confronted with something out of their experience, just make shit up.

• Adam Ragusea whose argument boils down to "I am American, therefore exceptional and I get a free pass to knowingly and willingly mispronounce".
From the era? Probably not. I like GoBe Productive and actually used PoorMan for some internal stuff, but neither would be sufficient for most uses today.

However, TuneTracker and its associated suite of tools for radio station automation ran on BeOS and then on Haiku. It's been a few years since the website was updated, so I do not know if it's still active, but it was worth running in a very specific setting.

I've had similar frustrations to the author.

We tried watching the broadcast coverage. Though I didn't time it, it felt like 60% advertising. This sounds hyperbolic, but it was really blocks of ads interspersed with highlights of events and (awful) commentary the majority of the time, and then occasional full events focused on very specific sports (swimming and gymnastics). I was shocked by how bad it was.

So, wanting to watch actual events, we paid for NBC's online service. It's an incoherent mess with login loops, and it still doesn't seem to include links to many of the full events, just the same highlight reels. It may be there, but after 20 minutes of searching we just gave up.

NBC has butchered this event.
How did you survey the commercial paper sector?
Of course they would. But thats not my point.

My point is if you want to hear about BS happening in your own country you'd probably read about it from foreign papers/sources first.

Those have no incentives not to bash your homeland, as oppose to local sources that have to balance not pissing off government (for access to interviews, news, sources) and ad revenue by reporting on the sensitive topics.

The entire point of “DevOps” is not to be a position at all - so the number of “DevOps” hires should be 0.

DevOps is a mindset of bridging operational and development teams to improve the delivery of work done to a place where it can deliver value.

I have used other operating systems, including Linux and MacOS. While I am fond of MacOS Application Bundles, I do not like many other things, like single-button mice, limited choice in hardware, and relative lack of gaming.
Yeah, this is certainly not the most elegant or efficient solution to the problem in terms of power usage, processing power, etc. But honestly, I don't really care.

My criteria were:
1. What's easy?
2. What's cheap?
3. Raspberry Pis are cool. I wouldn't mind playing with one.

I actually have programmed a microcontroller in C before (an Atmel Butterfly) but that was... 15 years ago? I haven't written C in at least 5 years.

I'm fairly optimistic that the Pi would have continued for years. It has no connection to the internet, and the code is extremely simple. If I were designing a device that somehow needed to run without being touched for 10 years, then definitely a microcontroller would have been the way to go. Or maybe even just a timing circuit, no processor involved.

As a student working on some theory papers, I wish this kind of thing would go in an Appendix somewhere. Is it left out because it's not worth the effort to include compared to the number of people that would actually read it? Or is it something that runs the risk of negative perception by those established in the field?
Last time I checked (I think it was a few months ago), Borg had a couple of significant limitations:

1. no realtime incremental backups (that is, use filesystem observers in order to be able to perform incremental backups at short intervals

2. no multithreading

I didn't find any paired tool which could do the task #1, so for large systems, I think backups are very resource-intensive, and can't be scheduled frequently.

It might not be realistic, but it is UK government policy: https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/uk-asks-for-brexit-standst...
Okay, but crime is actually rising now in 2021 and late 2020, at least in my city of Portland. Again, I was not part of the people who have said over the last decade that crime is rising, because it's not. I'm just pointing out that it is right now, so these same people are going to become even more concerned, spooked, and make choices respecting that.

This is what I don't understand about most people, especially those who look to the government for solutions. Instead of accepting people as they are, the arguments are over whether those people are wrong. If you want to influence human behavior, first you have to understand how they behave, not tell them their behavior is wrong.
Well that's nifty.
>> Outcomes matter more than output. A focus on output yields sub-par outcomes.

But isn't this just stating the obvious, e.g. don't measure success by lines of code written, number of commits, number of bugs fixed...? And there is nothing wrong in stating the obvious, especially as when it is not obvious to some people.
Oh, I'm glad to learn today that looking at a single variable can erase all the potential differences between countries and culture and bazillions of other factors.

> "We'll only make it legal to run our streaming service on your OS if you can prevent these specific set of software from running"

With windows I don't think this will be technically feasible. Sure I could see something like this happen on a mobile device or even MacOS but with Windows I feel like it's far too open ended for MS to do something like this without screwing their enterprise customers. And even if they did do something like this, most pirates will just pirate the enterprise version of Windows and run that.

And in those jobs being good at chess is only part of the equation. You have to be personable, someone that people aspire to. Physical attractiveness is also never a bad thing in the world of streaming. I once chatted with concert violinist. She was not happy about trends in the soloist community. "The moment I saw an exposed midrift in a concert hall, I knew I would never be a soloist."

Lol yep, it was not very difficult to tune into NBC and watch, though it was a little swimming and gymnastics heavy. I understand why, but would have preferred like 10% less, maybe just highlights from some other sports, or maybe having triathlon come on like 5 minutes earlier.

Is the term "tax bracket" used differently outside of the US/Canada?

Here it means your marginal tax rate (i.e. the highest rate at which your last dollar is taxed). Whereas you seem to be speaking about "effective tax rate" - that's total tax paid / gross income.
