That's why I posted my previous reply, despite me being in strong opposition of the "argue anecdata with your own anecdata" approach in discussions. But I couldn't resist replying, because all of my 9 years of experience in Russian educational system were the opposite of what OP claims in terms of memorization, and so were those of every single person I know in real life who went through that system (in other schools in Russia, not just from mine, obviously). Coworkers of mine (who went to Soviet schools a decade or two before I was even born) echoed the same sentiment in discussions on the topic, with the halfway sad "some things never change there, huh" sentiment.

Would have been less surprising if my school was doing poorly in rankings and such, but it was quite the opposite.

Of course, all my claims here are anecdata, but it just feels like something is off when the fantastic utopian description of how "soviet math" education works just runs counter to every single lived experience I had, as well as that of everyone I know in real life. Especially given that experiences of some of those people in real life I mention were separated from mine by both decades and geography (some did school in Moscow, others in smaller towns, some in soviet ukraine, etc.).

While that's true, at least some users are protected. I've never really bought into that particular criticism of mobile. Users are going to click through regardless until they've been burned a bunch of times. The users who pay attention to those prompts are the ones you want to benefit, and hopefully eventually those other users will be trained into the safer behaviour. (Yeah I hear myself)

As it stands though, flatpak out of the box has all the security issues of running old unpatched systems in order to mostly have compatible runtime environments, which, in my experience, don't actually buy me that much. The few times my distro hasn't already shipped a copy of an application, AppImage, Flatpak, or Snap haven't had the solution either.

This entire experiment we're doing with "ship the developer's box" as the new standard of software delivery and the different warring philosophies employed to turn that into a reality are interesting. My money is on the least secure, least safe, least functional, but best marketed thing winning out.

That actually seems like the worst outcome. According to the satellite photo in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28131932, it looks like Kuwait City is between the landfill and the sea. Inland looks like it's mostly desert.
It depends on cats, I have had a few in the past and currently have one that always tries to convince me when I get home that for some reasons my wife forgot to feed her.

OP is probably getting downvoted for insinuation without explanation:

> There is a bigger boss in DC, radically more powerful, and most everybody here knows what they're after.

OK, so tell us! Who is the mustache-twirling villain, and what are they after? I'd love to know. Be specific. Is it Joe Biden? If so, what's the end result? He gets money? OK, draw the lines for us between this technology and Joe Biden getting money. If it's somebody else leading this conspiracy, who specifically? What specifically are they after? Without these details, OP's post is just an episode of the X-Files: Something's out there, and you know what it is, I just won't tell you!
Apple still supports the older iPhones. For example, the iPhone 6 that doesn't get the latest iOS version anymore (stuck with iOS 12) is still supported by regular security updates (the last iOS 12 update was 54 days ago).

Apple supports (at least security wise) probably more devices than you think.

Did Jony Ive have anything to do with the original iPhones UI/UX? I thought he was just involved in the physical design.
For the record, I passed my Google interview, and they demanded that I move to NYC which I was unwilling to do. I ended up taking other work, and haven’t bothered with them since.

So perhaps don’t jump to conclusions, especially when you’re doing it to impugn other people. It’s a bad look.
I agree that “$5 wrench”-like solutions are more practical for most cases.

However, one would expect that an anonymous tip trick is common enough to make someone skeptical at some point.

With this new system it will look like “you” self-reported yourself, no one else to question, plus Apple build a reporting pipeline with express expectation of “high-quality” actionable reports.

So it will drag on for much longer simply because “computer said so” and no real way to disprove any of that.
> There are certainly cameras in hotel public areas where no one has a reasonable expectation of privacy.

Right and the article clearly states that all the cameras they had trouble with were outside in public areas. I don't think I've ever been in an airbnb that had cameras inside the house.
Intuitiveness is about matching expectations. The more universal the expectations, or the experience they're based on, the more successful leveraging "intuitive" design will be. That's why intuitive design tends to be tied to physical metaphors or stand-ins.

I agree that discoverability is great, and it's also something computer UIs tend to be terrible at. The #1 distinguishing characteristic of a discoverable UI is that the user feels very safe experimenting. If they're afraid to try things, they can't discover much. UIs rarely achieve this, and you can see the effect in how anxious most people get doing anything even slightly unfamiliar on their computer.
Ah, okay. Thanks. That's not as bad as I thought, using the click on the dock (that would otherwise do nothing) is clever. Thinking about it, my dock does this as well :)

Nope.

pop os puts a big ass orange line around the active window. its probably a bit gaudy but i love it.
it makes it so much easier to see where you're at, even at it the corner of your eye. i don't know if i could go back to other os's where the active window only gets a slightly darker drop shadow than the other windows.
One little deno feature I didn't realize until digging in to play with it more was that it can 'compile' code and the V8 runtime into a single standalone executable. IMHO this is really nifty and feels very go-like in building tools with zero other dependencies. Obviously the V8 runtime adds a lot of size (seems like a hello world is 90MB or so in quick testing) but I like the potential for building tools that are easy to give to others to install and use.

It seems great for internal use where you have analysts and such using a mish-mash of scripts and one-offs with lots of dependencies and little documentation or time to help people setup and use them. Just hook up your CI to spit out new executables and be done with walking people through how to troubleshoot their broken homebrew node, python, etc. environments.
In small concentrations like you'd get downwind it smells like burnouts, not great, not too bad. In high concentrations tire smoke is pretty acrid and should be avoided.

They have over 3,400 stores at ~180,000sqft. There are three within a short drive from my home. They have ~190 around 40,000sqft. The ~800 mid-sized "discount" stores are mostly closing and don't have groceries, they're ~100,000sqft.

Big American stores are absolutely massive, and they're all over the place.

https://247wallst.com/retail/2014/03/22/walmart-now-has-six-...

You mentioned you had like one of these massive stores at the edge of your town, and it was still only half as big. I've got several of these monsters within 8mi of my home.
Expanding a little on #2 and those discussions, I've come to appreciate this adage: 'if you want advice, ask for money. If you want money, ask for advice'. The adage seems to still often apply after substitution of 'the thing you want' for money.

Asking around for advice about becoming a manager may help to make anyone looking for a manager consider you: you're showing you respect their opinion, and you're being thoughtful about the role, its needs, your fit, and your strategy in getting there. Conversely, asking directly if people might make you a manager may get them to instead critique your ask, your position relative to their needs, or other attributes you have.

Clearly, you will need to make it well-known to at least your own manager that management work is an interest you have and want to explore. But how you approach the topic with others who might have opportunities available can take things in very different directions.
Not ignoring the truth in the other comments or yours, the CI/CD is also in the midst of a battle with mining. While we allow people to turn energy and CPU cycles into cash, people are going to abuse any run-what-you-like service like GitHub Actions.
The solution I use is to set media.autoplay.blocking_policy to 2 in about:config (I found this on the Mozilla wiki [1]). This setting requires a click to play media.

Incidentally, I browse Twitter while logged in, but the autoplay settings are "per-browser", and Firefox's anti-fingerprinting mode makes Twitter think you're using a new browser on each visit, and thus keeps autoplaying all the time without the above setting. Pretty irritating.

This comment is just wrong. This isn't a 'questionable benefit', it's a major change to the fundamental technology. This has nothing to do with price or profits at all. Comparing this theoretical advance to existing insulin is like comparing electric vehicles to gas powered cars. It's a difference in kind, not degree.

To explain, currently your pancreas is measuring your blood sugar and producing more or less insulin to keep it at a safe level (let's call that level "100"). A type 1 diabetic has to do that process manually, measuring their blood sugar with a device and taking enough insulin via needle to keep it at 100. It's possible to overshoot and have blood sugar go far below 100, which can do real damage to cells that need sugar as an energy source. Obviously if you have to measure and adjust several times a day, every day, even a 1% human error rate is going to come up often.

This theoretical insulin would stop working if there wasn't sufficient sugar already in the blood. As another comment said, it would basically stop working if your blood sugar was below 75 or 80. Right now diabetics are at risk from blood sugar being too high OR too low. This would cut out half of that risk, and be life changing for millions of people.

Has nothing to do with price, and as always I must mention that generic insulin is abundant and readily available at low prices to anyone. I don't expect everyone to follow the details of insulin and having diabetes. But it would be nice if medical advancements could be discussed without people conflating the topics with their pet political issues.
Yes. It’s emergent behavior of a physical universe that has no meaning. It just is.

“Meaning to us” is subjective. That’s how we have conflicting theories in many fields. Science isn’t about meaning. It’s about measuring how matter coalesces at various speeds relative to light.

I make noise because my biology “just has” properties to allow it given the other physical conditions.

Perfectly elegant theory based on the physical structure of reality alone. No ephemeral language organs.

Theory can quickly go from scientific observation to reinforced nonsense used to sell books and bond as species.

That’s fine, it’s how society works. It doesn’t mean anything to reality.
I remember leaving mine in my car in the middle of summer. After work, I tried to pick it up, but the metal on the outside was so hot I couldn't. Inside, though, the water was cold and there was still ice sloshing around. It really impressed me.

> The USA does the opposite; requires governmental medical insurance providers NOT to bargain with pharma companies and instead explicitly requires them to pay whatever price the pharma company sets.

That’s either a gross misunderstanding or deliberate misinformation. There is both price negotiations and significant rebates negotiated by pharmacy benefits managers who will often make 75% of the profit on the sale of the drugs back as rebates. They then distribute that back to insurers and other parties.
Sadly those enormous rebates don’t seem to reach or benefit the patients.
1000 cycles in a 400 miles range electric car (Tesla sells one already, without this fancy battery) is 400,000 miles. Since this battery chemistry will enable longer range, let’s call it 500-600 miles, or 500,000 to 600,000 miles. That’s pretty high.

Also, it’s not true that lithium battery recycling is merely lab scale. Pilot plants, like those operated by Li-Cycle in Toronto, are well beyond lab scale. They’re also in the process of building commercial scale facilities as we speak, not “5-10 years best-case.”

Your argument may have been valid 5-10 years ago but isn’t today.
I'm an IC that's been applying for dev manager positions at other companies over the last couple of weeks. I've had two interviews and both of them have gone well so far, but I haven't heard back yet as they're still interviewing other candidates. I think the biggest barrier at other companies is competition; I'm competing with folks that are already established in the role, so I've had to get really creative with the "scenarios" I come up with when they're asking me their questions.

If you have the option to try it internally, I echo the dozens of other posts here that say it'll be the easier route. Much much easier. Getting to the interview stage at another company will be hard and like I said you'll be competing against stronger candidates. On top of that you'll be going into a role you have nearly zero knowledge about and any inexperience you have will be magnified because of it. If you're like me and there's no management positions available at your company, search elsewhere as a last resort.

EDIT: Oh another thing: the only reason I'm even being considered is due to past experience as a lead developer. If you haven't had any lead positions on your resume, it'll be even harder if not impossible at most places.

Well thats the perk, you get games compatibility. Windows runs in a window with direct access to the GPU. I primary Windows because of games and music software, and I'm looking forward to trying it out.

As another comment points out, its called VFIO. From that subreddit: "VFIO stands for Virtual Function I/O. VFIO is a device driver that is used to assign devices to virtual machines. One of the most common uses of vfio is setting up a virtual machine with full access to a dedicated GPU. This enables near-bare-metal gaming performance in a Windows VM, offering a great alternative to dual-booting"
In the process of that rediscovery, plenty of people will become rich. That's an incentive to not be too quick remaking those discoveries...
You must understand that this attitude is the minority. Most people like their workplace because they like the people there.

My dad worked in pharma sales for 30 years. Do you think he cared to sell the drugs? I mean... in that the drugs were helping people, he was happy. But his reason for going to work everyday was talking to his colleagues. To this day, he and his old colleagues still visit each other, still party together, and vacation together.

When I tell my parents that I do things like work on programming projects outside of work, they think I'm crazy. Being genuinely interested in the content of your work so much so that you'd do it outside of a job is unique to engineering professions, IME.
Exactly.

A flawless SPA backed by a flawless API that produces responses in tens of milliseconds is superior to the old ways.

But a trash SPA backed by an API that produces responses eventually if ever and requires me to open the browser's developer tools to find out what happened? You can keep it. Old-school frameset sites are better than that.
Not enough people realize this early in their life and spend their youth toiling away for some imagined perfect retirement life - only to reach it and have their pensions disappeared by their company's management firm gambling it away on the stock market, being struck with disease and mobility issues that prevent travel, and losing their loved ones early on into their imagined golden years.

Life doesn't last forever; keeping your head down and being a "good worker" doesn't get you shit. You need to actively fight to make sure those years in your youth are worth it - since it's always quite possible that cancer strikes you down in your thirties.

If you come up with a way to spread that wealth in the different regions of a country, shareholders and execs will leverage that to get work done from even cheaper countries. A worker in Colombia or Mexico is much cheaper than someone in Kansas or Maryland. Btw, I am seeing this happening at my current workplace where a majority of the new headcount is for non-US countries. So be careful what you wish for.

We have seen this movie before with manufacturing. The winners of this move will be the shareholders / execs and the middle class in cheap countries. The losers will be the American middle class.
Hm. Monopoly on violence in the political sense doesn't mean being the unchallenged masters of the territory - it means that people in that territory can't do violence to each other, or in this context engage in tribal or clan conflict, because the settlement of disputes and the application of law is the remit solely of the governing power. I don't think that's ever been the case in Afghanistan, i.e. even the Afghan state ain't much of a state.

Ah, yes. I was told to "show my work", but I didn't have any work to show. If they told me "For sake of illustration, show what the steps would be if you carried out the following algorithm", then perhaps I could have done that. But what they said was "show your work", and there was nothing to show.

Luckily, I had learned several years of the curriculum in advance anyway, and had contempt for what the teachers were doing, so it didn't change my opinion of math, only my opinion of school.
From what I understood, a cycle doesn't equal a charging session. If you charge every night from 36% to 55% for example, it's not 1000 cycles in 3 years.

I charged my 7 years old EV a lot more than 1000 times and it still works fine.
This is just fake news. Corporate America has gotten rid of employees in favor of gig workers. Gig workers by definition are not engaged/vested in their job. Dont try and 'blame' this on the employees (you cant find good help anymore) since they really have not had an improvement in their lot since the 1970s. In the good old days, the disenfranchised would have joined a 'revolution'. Unfortunately, for all our free speech, disinformation is paralyzing everyone in their own information bubbles.
That does sound really worrying. How bad would situation have to get in LA before you would move out?

>I guess that is more the lasting Viking and Dane Law impact upon the English, than English feeding in modern Swedish.

It might be the result of common Germanic grounds, not necessarily lateral influence. I got the same when learning German - sentences like "das Haus ist rot" or "ich trinke Wein" are surprisingly easy to catch up from English. And after some time you start noticing patterns, that help you further.
