The point you bring up is an example of "fallacy of equivocation".

Yes, words are polysemic. In this case, 'anti-semetic' is seen as "anti-jewish". That's one sense of 'anti-semetic'. You can also add another sense of that word: "against speakers of Semetic language or people". This sense is not used when people use 'anti-semetic'.

In Europe, there has been centuries of discussion about jews: it was called "the Jewish question". Anyway, this anti-semitism started as a product of religious rivalry (which religion is True? Christianity or Judaism). Then extra features were added, etc.

A MAD weapon like that just becomes an AD weapon. A nuclear lab leak kills under 1,000 people. A living weapon lab leak would kill (nearly) every other living thing.
The first point is true; the second less so. If you use the term "football" most of the world will make the assumption you mean football, as opposed to any national derivatives of it or other games.
The C++98 (Win32/MFC) codebase that I ocassionally touch has a lot of ill-designed abstractions in it, and is full of potential memory problems, but at least one can halfway see what's happening, and a full rebuild of the 30 years old codebase can be done in < 10 minutes.

Not sure if it's worse than the impossible to grok and slow to build C++11+ codebases that I've seen - everything is wrapped in unique_ptr and shared_ptrs, add lots of unused overloaded constructors and methods for every const and copy/move/value construct situation, then add an icing of templates. The trend is to assume that problems are solved by wrapping everything in more layers. But it seems like this ends in maybe fewer memory problems but also a lot less useful functionality, makes it a lot slower to build, and makes it so much harder to add, change and fix stuff.

The best code I've seen uses very, very few C++ features (if any at all) and just gets things done in a straightforward way without celebration.
Tried it, hated it. Everyone is using WhatsApp, Telegram, whatever. Try typing a sms with those tiny buttons, it sucks. There is a reason why some people have a smartphone but not a computer.

> win95 ushered in the 686 era, and people with 586 machines certainly were complaining that win31 had been faster.

Win95 debuted into an era when 486 was still the most common processor and 586 (aka Pentium) was just building steam.

Windows 3.11 was faster on a 486 than Windows 95, so I’m guessing you mistakenly advanced processor generations in your comment.
No, plenty of critics aren't terrorist sympathizers. Some critics are openly sympathetic to Hamas and Co.

Barring any context to the contrary, I'm naturally going to assume anyone complaining about being accused of being a terrorist sympathizer as belonging to the latter group. (It seems easy enough to clear up confusion by just saying "I oppose Hamas")
I predicted the stock market sell off that occurred on 19th July 2021
I have always been fascinated with how news and sentiment could drive markets. This has lead me to build an engine that attempts at predicting US stock market sell offs. So far it has been really successfully at doing so.

In our most recent example, on 16th July 2021 we predicted that there was going to be a major sell off on. The sell off actually happened on 19th July 2021.

In a more extreme example our engine successfully identified as early as 9th Jan 2020 that increased mentions of "coronavirus" in the world news was going to cause the sell off that occurred in 2020.
https://truesight.me/overview/2020-01-09/14

Unfortunately, that correlation panned really nicely for the next 365 days.
https://truesight.me/compare/SPY,452970-coronavirus/2021-06-25/720

Here is how we built this engine.
We pull in news headlines from around the world on an hourly basis.
Then we apply NLTK to extract the nouns that are associated with each news headline.

Next we pull in the stock prices of all the publicly listed companies on the US stock market to calculate the actual sell off levels for each day.

The final step is to apply Pearson's Coefficient at scale to identify nouns that have the highest correlation with sell off levels within defined periods we are examining.

These final set of nouns are then shortlisted as trends will be driving US market sell offs.

Here is the full story of how I went around the world curating that list of data sources to train my model.

It could help by simply being sufficiently different. The only reason this type of malware is such a widespread problem is the large monoculture of potential targets. Just like in agriculture (e.g. potatoes, bananas), a monoculture allows a single pathogen to affect an entire crop. In security this is a class break[1].

Utilizing different software implementations limits the scope of this type of attack. The current trend to increasing centralization and forced-update monoculture is a huge gift to malware authors: they only have to write one version of their malware to affect everyone.

I read your comment without reading the article, then I read the article. I am sad :/

While it would make sense for loss prevention at the store, it would make more sense if this feature was extended to the end user.
I've repeatedly had employers very happy with my abilities & results, and am also entirely sure I've, on a few occasions, convinced interviewers I'm entirely unable to write code and am one of these frauds everyone's sure exist and that they need these coding tests to "catch".
Well he's a BSD guy, so he refers to the entire bunch as UNIX.

Linux is a prime example of this with Linus. I fear the day he's not around as a guiding force.

vendi | Senior Software Engineer | Full-time | Bengaluru or Remote | https://vendiapp.com

We are looking for engineers with a wide array of interests and skills ranging from backend (NodeJS, Python) to data (BigQuery) to automations and more.

vendi wants to make peer-to-peer transactions mainstream. There is a massive amount of value in P2P untapped due to the risks and hassles associated. 90% users have been scammed or tried to get scammed buying and selling phones. To unlock this value you need trust and a reliable user experience to work. vendi starts with phones as they form part of a high risk category with a lot of fraud. A risky market according to most payment gateways. Furthermore, phones and electronic waste form part of the fastest growing type of waste in the world. This also unlocks to build a bigger, safer and fairer circular economy. We start with a marketplace to set the right experience and provide the trust users need. Instead of helping accelerate the growth of waste, why not accelerate the growth of wealth?

The argument isn't that granting more freedoms to the owner of the device will magically make it more secure in all cases, for most it won't.

The argument is that removing freedoms from owners in the name of security is a false dichotomy because bad actors will still gain the ability to execute arbitrary code whilst owners of devices won't be able to do so.

Also, if I could provide the software I want to run, I'd probably not have iMessage.
Unfortunately you can't; society has changed too, in many ways. Even some government services now require either an iOS or Android device to access (like vaccination records here in BC).

A dumb phone does less for you now than it did in 2005, just like a horse does less for you now than it did in 1895. Even if you really like horses, you can't ride them on the same streets you once could.
Not really since that doesn't leave much room for discussion, but that is my problem not theirs. The point is to have something to discuss, not to listen for a singular answer. Now we can discuss hypothetical situations and philosophy but I'd much rather have a concrete piece of code to go through.

Seeking out problems and errors can be a good conversation piece. Hopefully you get to hear some anecdotes, prod the taste in style and how well that that taste might play with others. The interview situation isn't easy for anyone, and anything that can if something is even remotely qualified helps.
It is still practiced https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racewalking

Interestingly the mentioned wobble is used by today's racers. Destroys their hips.
Yet those reasons are circumstantial and unverified claims, whereas we know that Morocco spied on France. If, and that is an if, Israel received intelligence as a result, Morocco is still the country that crossed that line. The framing makes no sense. Why is a third party, Israel, limiting fallout instead of Morocco?
The unmentioned thing here is why? Why does the world with a smartphone and today's hyper-connectivity seem so different now compared to what it used to?

Did people feel the same way when the railroad and other forms of rapid transport showed up?

What makes things feel so different? Is it more competition, and for what? Is it that things are just faster, and the certainties have changed? Has it fundamentally changed how we experience relationships with people?

Are our standards now higher, and is that a good thing?
I don't think anyone should be in solitary confinement so I don't think you disagree with me. I'm merely stating that the article wasn't wrong.

I love government sponsored content for free, that's where I get all of my news and stuff.

Except, wait, what, PBS isn't free? Don't we already pay taxes?
That's the trade off of self checkout scales that try to match what you're buying compared to those that don't seem to care at all. At some stores, it's overly sensitive, and you constantly need attention to get past the system thinking you're trying to steal, and even adding a paper bag is enough to cause problems. At other it doesn't seem like it cares at all, and two items can be on at the same time without it noticing. Maybe they track it all and just review cameras later?

Produce charged by the item is probably hard to account for, but three times the normal weight seems like something that might be safe to trigger on.
Obviously! I still remember my high school friends' phone numbers and I haven't needed to dial any of them in thirty years.

We watch the full PBS NewsHour most nights, simulcast/streamed live on YouTube (also available on all/most PBS affiliates) ... and it's available for later viewing as well. Some would say it leans a bit left but I think it's the best unbiased presentation of (U.S.) national concerns. They get wide access for interview to the most relevant American and non-American persons across a wide range of topics and are not afraid to pose the tough questions.
Nowadays, yes, but that’s not necessarily how they’re supposed to work.

A headline should give a reader actionable information, with the article itself serving to give more detailed context.

This headline doesn’t give actionable information, because you have no idea whether your android version is affected.
Yes this is the key. Most of Europe is in the same boat. Eating produce in Greece however is astoundingly better. Italy was less consistent on this but still better.

Which leads me to wonder if its really the genetic choices or is it just something about the farming, nutritional rich soils, or transportation/timing?

Einstein said, famously, "Make everything as simple as possible but no simpler."

I did agile back in the late 1980s, in the days of MS-DOS and Turbo Pascal.

The customer had a problem, he knew he wanted a computer in the solution. The first person he contacted to solve the problem hired me to write the solution. He hated the hardware chosen, and went off to make is own choices.

Having chosen acceptable hardware, he hired a different person to solve the problem. They also hired me, we pitched a solution. It took about 2 months to code.

The program worked as promised, met all the requirements. Up to this point, it was essentially waterfall. We agreed that a wider sale/deployment would be contingent on me working directly with the customer on-site in an agile fashion.

I wrote code, he brought a random power plant worker in to try it out (in the days before everyone knew how to run a PC), and we iterated. Everyone was quite happy with the product for years, until networks, Windows and other reporting systems made it obsolete.

Nobody knows the details of what is useful until there is a prototype to work with, and get the feel of. Agile is the way people have been solving problems forever.

There seem to be a lot of "No True Scotsman" threads here. Since I did this before "agile" was a thing, I don't have to worry about it. 8)
His "Behemoth" bike had such low gearing for hill-climbing that, as I recall it, the bike had two retractable small wheels, one on each side, that worked like training-wheels to stabilize the bike at very low speeds.
