White-hating blacks are so awkward sometimes. They apparently cannot stop thinking about us, take childish pleasure in capitalizing "Black" but not "white" at every opportunity, and constantly perpetuate the hopeful idea that black culture is the envy of the world.

And literally says that rules may be suspended if fried chicken is present...
Women have more need for information on our genitals. Our genitals are hidden from view and we get less natural exposure to what they look like, what's normal, how they compare to others, etc.

If you'd like to explore the BBC Music Magazine's list of 20 greatest conductors might not be a bad place to start for orchestral music. The ordering may be a bit controversial but these are all great artists and the listing has some of their best performances.

https://www.classical-music.com/features/artists/20-greatest...

Some personal favourites:

Brahms 4 - Carlos Kleiber / Vienna Philharmonic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho-H-8FzbU8)

Mahler 2 - Claudio Abbado / Lucerne (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MPuoOj5TIw)

Shostakovich Symphonies - Bernard Haitink / London Philharmonic / Concertgebouw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS4dcZ90fN0)

One thing to look out for in baroque is original instruments vs modern instruments performances. Original instruments have a very different - leaner - sound. I find I much prefer them now. Someone like John Eliot Gardiner is amazing in original instruments Bach.
I hope Apple keeps the Maestro stuff in whatever they do carrying over Primephonic. It’s a real-time commentary about the work you’re listening to. What to listen for, composer’s mindset at the time, how it relates to other works and so on.
I wonder how this compares to their previous statements and policies, because with a million people out of power and most communication systems offline, it does seem that charging people is just wrong, and the lack of the necessity of emergency communication provided by Amateurs was stated as a reason for them not exempting them from licensing fees.

>The FCC also disagreed with those who argued that amateur radio licensees should be exempt from fees because of their public service contribution during emergencies and disasters.

>“[W]e we are very much aware of these laudable and important services amateur radio licensees provide to the American public,” the FCC said, but noted that specific exemptions provided under Section 8 of the so-called “Ray Baum’s Act” requiring the FCC to assess the fees do not apply to amateur radio personal licenses. “Emergency communications, for example, are voluntary and are not required by our rules,” the FCC noted. “As we have noted previously, ‘[w]hile the value of the amateur service to the public as a voluntary noncommercial communications service, particularly with respect to providing emergency communications, is one of the underlying principles of the amateur service, the amateur service is not an emergency radio service.’” [0]

Or, a deeply-rooted assumption that "conformance to some arbitrary rules that have been adopted as signifiers of intelligence and class" is in some way an admirable quality, rather than the abilities to infer meaning in the face of ambiguity and to update one's mental model in response to new information (also known as "intelligence")
Adding context does little to change that, unfortunately.

Indeed, commercial aviation is only something like 3% of overall carbon dioxide emissions globally. If you want to make a personal difference you would be an order of magnitude more effective if you stop commuting in a non-electric car or gave up consuming meat when dining in restaurants. Expecting individual action to fix this (or worse, blaming individual actions for it) isn't going to work though. Individual consumption is not the majority source of emissions, and it's a bit of a classic prisoners dilemma problem anyway, and we know how much Americans trust each other these days.
FM audio on yoru phone usually relied on the headphone cable being used as an antenna to receive the FM signal. With the demise of wired headphones, especially for high-end phones, this is unlikely to be viable.

Well, if I was your interviewer, I'd say "no worries."

I'd be fine if you had to skip a few questions like this and did well on the rest.

That's a fairly common interview question, though, so it's a good one to rehearse!

> ...GPLv3 is...a fundamental change to the GPL historic intent and function.

That’s a pretty bold statement. As a FS developer since the 1980s (not just code, for example I wrote the library license) the GPL3 feels like it precisely captures the intent of the original GPL but updated for today’s world.

Of course in the interest of choice you aren’t forced to use GPLv3 code any more than you are forced to use a piece of proprietary code with license terms or cost you don’t like.

Fun non-profit side project ideas
Hi all! I'm a data scientist (specialized in retail analytics) and I quite enjoy my job. However, recently, I've been having a lot of free time, and I'm looking for a fun (but challenging) long-term side project which is not 100% in my domain. I do not care about making money, and I would prefer it to have a "physical" dimension to them.

Some examples I'm thinking of: Building a face tracking drone, Using OpenBCI sensors, Adding functionalities to XGO Mini "robot dog".

I'd like to hear more ideas from you, especially if someone has some practical problems they think are worth solving. If anyone is already working on something like this, I'd love to join you.
Libertarians? Sure, a few from my Twitter circle. Also pg comes to mind.

Very-libertarians? That’s a good point; I’m not sure I’ve seen any. But it’s hard to know who among us is very-libertarian except those who say so, which may be a small subset.
This tangentially reminds me of when I used to work on some commercial software which linked against a FlexLM binary blob for licence checking. We had a customer bug report where the software was occasionally crashing on start up on 64-bit Windows and it turned out to be happening in the licence checking code.

I disassembled the blob and it turned out that it was down-casting a NT handle to 32-bits. This seemed to be fine in practice as I never observed the higher bits set. Unfortunately however, the code then used a signed load to read it in from memory and hence corrupted the handle if the 32nd bit was set, causing a crash.

I made a patched blob which fixed the problem but sadly the legal department vetoed shipping it in case it violated our license with Flex :-P.
Honestly, if the position of the original author is that this is representative of everybody, not just Internet People, I think it'd be on them to justify that view. They don't quite make that claim, though, and so I am not trying to formally refute it - I am just making what seems to be a logical note given the content as it stands.

There is never a legitimate reason to gatekeep knowledge.

Every time I hear this pearl clutching from hams I like to remind them that the biggest threat to their hobby isn't rouge transmitters and antennas or someone stepping on their transmission - but nobody giving a shit about them anymore.

If you keep new people from entering the hobby it will completely die off and eventually all that spectrum will be reallocated to useful things like cellular.
I am qualified to judge a scientific paper, but I don't think this should be a personal judgement call of who the "better expert" is. I am trying to avoid calling to authority when deciding an objective truth.

On this topic a reasonably intelligent person reading a reasonably well written scientific paper can understand its strengths and weaknesses. It is not that complicated, we would be talking about simple counts: X people were enrolled, Y people got infected with masks Z people infected without masks. Yes there is statistics involved, there are corrections to be made, proper tests to be chosen, but at end we are talking about a few integer numbers and their relationships. We are not discussing the unsolved mysteries of quantum chromodynamics.

If you look at the information for multiple vaccine papers the data is detailed, granular, compelling and evident - even though I could not design or perform the same analysis myself. There is no debate there that it works.

Yet there is no similarity in the data robustness or even availability when it comes to effectiveness of masks.

I believe that there are no RCT studies on masks that would support their benefits. The Cohran review that I linked on the state of the field also comes to the same conclusion.
Consider tools like pt-online-schema-change https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-toolkit/3.0/pt-online-sc... or gh-ost they can rebuild the table live.. they also can add indexes without too much of performance impact. I would not use VIEW as you suggest but using partitions and partitioning data by year or something can often make sense - if most of your queres specify date range.
Similarly, there are two kinds of engineers: safety-first, and product-first.

Guess which type I prefer.
>their methane in the atmosphere would be at steady state, not growing and therefore not contributing to change.

Assuming that methane is removed from the atmosphere by something? AFAIK methane doesnt get consumed by anything natural, so it should just be growing in an absolute sense as long as total cows (and other producers) are above 0
In logic terms, the government in this scenario is sufficient but not necessary for these outcomes.

That will work once the world has decided upon a single web stack with standardized API design and security and every company uses that web stack.

It's a US game, actually there are two games. Both follow from Whist and Bridge. There are, in the US, two games that go by the name of Spades but (as the primary differentiating characteristics) have different rules regarding bidding and scoring. In Black communities (the version discussed in the article) it's often played with a standard deck plus jokers (possibly removing other cards to make room for the jokers), and scoring is based on winning a bid and making book and some number of tricks over book (though not always, but the common form) which is similar to Contract Bridge and Whist. The other form is played with a standard deck and both partnerships can get points on each hand based on their bids, no need to make book (6 tricks as a base before getting points) just make your bid.

Wow [1], how cool would that be. I love that NextCloud exists and I plan to use it and call me biased but god I hate to be running some PHP.

> If we got away from factory clothes and moved to a model where someone made two or three year's worth of clothes for $500

Lovely idea but what do the poor fools do whose weights are going up and down? I mean I know that's not 80% of the population on a given year but there is some value to being able to buy just a few garments at a time that fit approximately correctly right now, even if they won't really in another six months.
I (white kid) grew up on the west coast of the US and played Spades growing up with my family. None of my friends knew Spades, but it seemed like everyone knew Hearts. My mom grew up on the east coast so I always kinda thought that she brought it with her out west. Had no idea it was cultural in other ways!
> So Germans speaking their own language in their own country is now xenophobic? (referring to your first paragraph)

How dare they speak their language!? Well, they can't really speak English either, because that would be cultural appropriation.
Continuing that thought along the line of "Simple made easy," I think ease has a simplicity all its own.

A simple language, e.g. C or lisp, simple in that their grammar is simple, are definitely less easy for the programmer, than say Go. But C is not simple as an experience, since it forces the dev to mentally complect so many concepts in order to get things done: macros, memory management, etc. Lisp is complex in a different way: metaprogamming, DSLs, and deep abstractions are the norm. So simplicity/complexity tends to be something of a whack-a-mole. It's a lower bound, much like the uncertainty principle; you can always add complexity.

Go makes a lot of choices that try to really optimize the user_complexity * language_complexity product.
Don't you dare to say anything more!!!

But i believe you ;)

Well, yeah. This happened to my generation as well. It's not limited to Gen Zers and the younger generation.

The only reason it didn't happen sooner was because SMS prices were nuts ($0.20 a text at one point![1])

That all changed with the advent of data plans and non-sms messaging services. Once those two things came together there was no way for a telcom to keep charging through the nose.

With spam callers ringing off the hook now, it's no wonder why everyone just texts now-a-days. All my calls go straight to the google answering service if they are from unknown numbers. In the past year, maybe 10 of them have been legitimate (out of literally 100s!).

There are definitely popular preferences. Unfortunately not everyone is born equal. Rejecting reality makes it harder to solve the problems created by it.
Ringtones were the stupidist thing ever back in the mid '00s. Every student in a class basically had their custom ringtone to show off. It was a status thing. Also just having a phone that could do it was like showing you had the LATEST phone. RAZR phones. Now since all phones are ubiquitous in features, it's really just seen wholly as obnoxious (which it always was, but now accepted as obnoxious by all).
I had printouts of autoexec.bat and config.sys for this exact reason.
Because most of my calls are telemarketers and scams, I did this years ago. My message has been for the longest time, "I do not check these messages, please email me at **@gmail.com"

I would have probably checked my messages more if I had search to text translation of my messages and it wasn't an extra fee.
SEC Chairman Says Banning Payment for Order Flow Is ‘On the Table’
No, not surrounded by women. Just guys, one or two with a guitar, playing music while the rest sing along. Sometimes next to a campfire with beers in hand. It's genuinely very fun.

I'm sure some people try to force it and it gets annoying. Humans love being musical in groups though and always have.

I have had pretty good luck with that one. I used to use 'duplicate commander' but I am not sure that one is out there anymore.
Right, perfectly reasonable. I'm still sort of on the fence.

I guess where I would respond though is: Most of what you're talking about are singular rare-ish exceptions. We're talking about a very common staple here (which means, yes, there will be confusion of some sort, perhaps in baking?)

I think my reasoning here is, we're not calling margarine "plant butter," we're not talking about "tapioca/potato eggs" (had to look that one up.)

Overall, even, I feel like things would go smoother if we used some other word, e.g. I know "Silk" is trademarked, but something along those lines.
I like a phone call to hear the voice of the person I am talking to, and I tend to prefer it over text. With an actual phone line it was even more fun due to the much lower latency.

Like, you can't name many of the ways a big,
high-traffic site might slow down, because
the internal tools websites you work on don't
need caching or proxies or load balancing

I feel like it would be tough to spend any amount of time developing web apps, even if they're just internal tools, without hitting a basic performance issue like an n+1 query situation where you accidentally write a page with 500 queries or something. But maybe that's me... maybe devs are better than me these days. I hope so =)

There are of course innumerable network related reasons an app could slow down and we wouldn't expect a software dev to dive into them... I'd expect them to just be able to do some ultra basic stuff to rule out a network issue and zero in on the application stack.
certification authority which is independent, very reputable and unbiased

That is a big ask. There have been many attempts at CS-adjacent certifications, some of them government sponsored, but none of them find widespread use. The ones I've personally encountered were grossly out of date (e.g. a C++ assessment that didn't mention templates at all, in 2012), and weren't even mentioned during interviews by the company that demanded them.

It's not just a matter of trust, either. Our industry is incredibly conceptually diverse, despite the common current of abstract patterns that underlies everything. There is no specific or generic skill test that won't be out of date in a year, and forcing the required degree of standardization on our industry to make that possible would effectively destroy it.

In the mean time, the only organizations incentivized to keep their assessments up to date are the vendors themselves, who as you note, have conflicting interests. And at root, if you want to be even slightly more generic than a vendor certification, you are basically trying to test for intelligence and adaptability.
I have created something similar for a museum. I placed bluetooth beacons behind the exhibits, and when visitors approached them the app automatically switched to the "page" for this exhibit. The app was able to display texts, videos, images and audio files.
There are two problems here: Getting your first software job, and getting all of your other software jobs.

Getting your first job is harder, but for different reasons. You're an unknown quantity, and the only way to know if you're any good is to grill you on things you learned in data structures & algorithms class.

Getting all of your subsequent jobs is also hard, because there's no way to know if you've been a stump who just sat there and collect a paycheck at previous roles.

Perhaps the solutions are different too.

What I don't like in Wix
do not count legally as substitutes for the authentic version isn't the exact same wording, but I don't think it's a leap to go from "this is not a legal document" to "this is not to be used in court" when referring specifically to contracts and licenses.

It's at least no more of a leap than telling someone they're lying when they're paraphrasing, and in a way many people think is fairly accurate.
I agree with this answer. I listen to classical constantly but still don't really feel like I understand it well.

What I did was just listen..listen..listen and then look for patterns in what I liked.

I love Vivaldi and Bach, but I tend not to love too many of the other "big names". Turns out I really love most anything from the Baroque period! And I literally just used that Wikipedia entry as a starting part to continue looking for more composers.
What if the NYTimes had journalists that described the news in their specific prose or worse, poetically. Speak plainly, it’s the news, report it as plainly and accurately as possible.
