Please don't bring that to Apple, and yes I am also frustrated that this happens. Unfortunately, it's in the whim of the publishers, and I wish that if your device is in English, it should just use Latin letters, but ultimately it's Apple vs Publishers.

I won't be shocked if other services do show Latin letters though, Apple has negotiated the agreements literally 10 years prior everyone else in a period where everything except iTunes was physical and you don't want to change the contracts as much as possible, so the status quo.

General aviation (small planes) still uses leaded gasoline, as the article admits:

Yes, it's funny how every person who talks about things loudly is a loud person. Almost like there's some kind of selection bias going on.
> didn't use to have hobbies and I used to feel like a machine just going to work, coming back, sleep, rinse and repeat

This hits home for me. The last year has been hard because I haven’t been able to do any of my usual hobbies—snowboard, travel, concerts, baseball, etc. and it’s really taken the spice out of life.
"pretty niche consistency"?! only nearly every single young family!

These interest rates directly lead to modern feudalism. To have social mobility it's essential that housing market is possible to enter from the outside. What we have now is increasingly feudal system where the landlords can demand much more money because in order to buy yourself you have to compete with other fellow buyers who are also given an option to take increasingly leveraged mortgage. You're both fucked in a prisoners dilemma where the only winner is the seller and already existing landlords.

As a buyer of an item which people usually spend most of their savings on, it is against your interests that everyone would be allowed to take a loan. When everyone can take a loan, everyone pays more, whereas when nobody can take a loan, everyone would just pay less - as much as they currently have.
U.S. history is full of examples of temporary measures taken during emergencies. This isn't a conspiracy by Big Mask.
I think your comment has me thinking that instead of everyone having a vim/emacs holy war mixed with battling the Excel wizards, we should all band together because we are infighting at this point.

We were on top of the world, now the world is built on top of us.

That's not enough to make a video credible. Ever heard of What the Bleep Do We Know!?

Even with a reasonably long single-person interview, it's easy to cut out the parts you don't like if you're a biased editor.
"There is no ambiguity because my context is the only context"

I learned a few years back that lawyers will give you a bunch of "ands" and "ors" in an expression without any concept of precedence. That doesn't necessarily mean left to right works, either.
I have one piece of anectdata. I own some property in the Sierra foothills, and a couple of years ago spent considerable time talking to the California Department Forestry (CDF) fire chief for the area about clearing a fire break through it. It was part of a huge project. We agreed on the path, had the legal paperwork signed... and then...

COVID, and then,

100% of local crews were dispatched to fight last year's fires, and then,

still COVID, and now,

even yet more worse fires...

The fire prevention projects are what they work on when they are not fighting actual fires. And they aren't exactly over-staffed to begin with.

There simply hasn't been any staff to work on the big fire prevention projects. If there is anybody out there that thinks Newsom and the CDF are behind plan and need to move faster, I have several shovels I can loan out so that you can help. Heck, you can borrow my chain saw.
Smoke in Idaho and western Wyoming was awful a few weeks ago. Maybe it’s improved since then, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Libertarians or libertarians? I know a half dozen people that are, what I consider, very libertarian (not Libertarian) personally that think its entirely reasonable.

Most Libertarians are extremist libertarians in my view.

"The future is here, it's just not evenly distributed." -- William Gibson.

I was the last of my friends in elementary school to get a computer - my first was a Mac LC in 1991. Where I was, they were rare in 1986 but ubiquitous by about 1989. Would go over to friends' houses to play Carmen Sandiego, Oregon Trail, or Number Munchers. I was on the WWW by 1994. Grew up in suburban Boston, so the area was relatively affluent and educated.

I suspect this is like how my 3-year-old (growing up in Silicon Valley) thinks that robots, self-driving cars, and drones are just an ordinary part of reality, while they remain science-fiction for many Americans.
I love the term asshole circumplex.
Hey. I enjoy both Sanskrit and the guitar. Would you be interested in getting in touch? I have a few questions. :)
FWIW, event driven is not event sourced. AWS Event Bus is neither persistent nor ordered which makes it not fit for event sourcing unless the lambdas were only an ingest for Kinesis or the like. For example: how would consistent replay be accomplished?
Probably, but megafires sterilize the soil. Low intensity fires recover much more quickly. Ideally we'd be able to gradually reduce the burn backlog without letting it all go in a few really, really big years.
The keyboard is terrible with no spaces between Esc, inside and below Fx, and around arrow keys.
I suspect because almost no one wants to be a “gardener” of microblog/message/talk/email, and most do not know how. They just want to follow and talk to people. FB solves all of these with one signup, as did myspace. I also expect gaining traction for decentralized networks is by definition harder as the brand has fragmented.
> If base exception type had a single property, something like "CanRetry",

"Can retry" _WHAT_? This can work if you meticulously rewrap low-level exceptions into higher-level ones that reflect the high-level operation that failed.

Concrete example: FileNotFoundException. I'd say that in "normal" circumstances it's not retriable: you're looking for a file, it's not there, so an exception is thrown. In "unusual" circumstances you're polling (i.e., waiting for a file to appear somehow) or you're an OS shell and is searching the path for the location of the program.
It looks more like someone was trying to make a statement than to write software. If this is actually useful, then the message is lost in all the attacks on Apple and Microsoft.

What a stupid take. Is it so bad to want a better life? Yes, my life is _already_ better than berries pickers, but that doesn't mean my concerns and pains aren't valid. We should level up, not keep everyone down because there's always someone who is having it worse than you.
I wonder why such a presumably free software extreme, Microsoft/apple hater would license under gpl2 instead of 3.
It’s worth noting that Panic collaborated with Teenage Engineering when designing the hardware of the Playdate.
So I'm all for blaming the ineffectual(or worse) govt agencies responsible for dropping the ball on fire prevention work, but are we going to talk about the communities that continue to ignore the CalFire recommendations for defensible space?

I keep seeing footage of structures burning, and every time they are situated too close to fuel sources. I understand it's tough to sacrifice the aesthetics of your mountain community, but fire is a fact of life in CA and preparing for it is flat out irresponsible.

I'm sorry if this comes across as victim blaming. I suppose it can't be anything but that. But people really need to take responsibility for fire prevention if they're going to live in a wilderness zone.
Most countries are a signatury to the Berne Convention, so in general, copyright is pretty similar in those countries.

But the news told me that trump destroyed american renewables.... In reality, america has surpassed it's Paris climate goals every year despite not being party to the agreement. That's a better model.
If communities would just follow the damn guidelines(https://www.fire.ca.gov/programs/communications/defensible-s...) they'd be a lot better off.

We're seeing that doesn't work that effectively in most places. It also is giving the same pricing to every human being across the globe. In the richer countries, sure, maybe $30/year isn't a lot, but in poorer ones that could be an onerous barrier to entry.
Would this necessarily be considered inaccurate?

The graphic quality isn’t “poor”, it’s just simple and minimal.
Realistically, governments need to adjust to market pay to make a difference here.

I am a former public servant. I earn after 2 years of experience what they paid people with 6. And I don’t work for a FAANG or even a decently funded VC firm, but am guessing that I am now significantly underpaid (initially signed up for it for interesting work, but that went away so fixing that presently). And I live in Canada, where salaries are already compressed.

That working at a not well paying startup can rapidly outpace the government is a huge problem for digital infrastructure.
This seems like a good idea, but an initial cohort of only thirty? I suppose some is better than none, but that is much smaller number than I would expect.
Then stop writing CRUD APIs; make the compiler do it instead. If you're doing rote, boring, assembly-line programming, then you're doing the compiler's job.
My experience in the USA is that most seem to believe the in, or at least act in line with, the idea that governments with feedback from the masses serve the masses better or really at least less worse with those without feedback.

Many systems need feedback to remain stable. For governments that feedback in theory can come through different channels where more channels and more direct channels is often assumed to be better.

Voting, free speech, the right to own guns, among other laws/rights/practices are often used by those raise in the USA as the standard to judge other governments/systems, mostly because those are the channels people in the USA have and are therefor familiar with.
Bridge sims seem to be having a moment; awesome!

To Empty Epsilon's ranks, I'll add a few computer games I've come across:

- Carrier Command 2

- Space Crew

- Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator

- Captain Sonar (board game)

- Barotrauma (sort of)

- Starship Horizons

Any good ones I've missed?
That'd be cool.

It just occurred to me that I could probably do the same with attributes and DynamicProxy for C#. And also implement additional checks like "IF X is thrown, its properties must satisfiy some constraints.". (I program both in Java and C# these days.)

Such "UnexpectedException" as I suggested would serve two purposes: 1) well, knowing that something unexpected happened and allowing you to handle it with "last chance handler", 2) helping the developers maintain the contract. If you change a method so that it can throw some new exceptions (compared to the previous version), you've broken its contract/compatibility. This would then show up during testing.

> You'll still have your "throws" statement but then the tool would wrap calls t

Yes. Fortunately, Java allows you to mention subclasses of RuntimeException in "throws" declaration.
Plus these people straight out of college need mentorship but the best mentors are likely off in industry.
They're similar, but systemd timers are at least an order of magnitude more complex than cronjobs.

Sure, you have to learn the system's particulars and both systems have corner cases that seem to pop up in even the simplest of uses

...however, cronjobs are a single entry in a single application. Systemd is a system backbone. Using it for everything when you know how to use it is straightforward. Almost no one knows how to use it.
Lots of startups do this, because it's difficult to commit to hiring full time and they often have a burst of work needed early on.

A lot go through some marketplace like Upwork, but contractors usually get the worst deals there, because you're competing with a lot of others.

80% of my contracts came from two people. One was an early stage VC, the other ran an agency that did design but didn't do code. So instead of building relationships, just piggyback on those whose full time roles are doing it, but won't compete with you. Focus on being the best at your work and people should search for you.
Not if you have user-defined value types (soon coming to Java).
Turn a multi-legged robot into a vacuum cleaner. Roomba style vacuum cleaners can not deal with obstructions like cables, cords, a dropped pen, toys on the floor, a sheet of paper on the floor, etc. A Spot-like robot could recognize and walk over all these and be able to get into odd nooks with a direct-able vacuum. The main difficulties would seem to be 2D path planning based on stereovision and 3D guidance of the vacuum nozzle, probably also based on stereovision. There are quite a few open source quadraped robots out there now, some you can just buy. Seems like a fairly well bounded problem and could make the world a cleaner place!
We aren't refugees. It's not the environment that makes us leave because we've been living with it for centuries. The land in South Louisiana has always been ephemeral and we know it. But a good chunk of your gas comes up by way of Port Fourchon. We can't contribute our worth to this country when it's all bought up for airbnb's. We get bought out by Ny and North Califoria, people who can't live on that land. Everywhere has value. It's not something that can be thrown away with a quippy book quote, and you settle back down in your 800 sqft apartment wherever you live.
I see where you are coming from, my dad always said the same to me. However, I personally could never think like that. I could never "sling javascript for 10 years" if I didn't like doing so at some basic level. For others, they might be able to do it and compensate for it with hobbies, or delay gratification until it pays off later.

In either case, whatever you do has to put food on the table and pay the bills. You can't use "I don't like what I do" as an excuse to get out of your responsibilities. As long as you are responsible enough about that, neither path seems like garbage or scam to me. To each his own.

Clearly over time, more people are having the opportunity to marry what they like to do with what puts food on the table, and surely, that is something to be celebrated.

There is a separate (but related) debate on how you define success and how far you decide to keep slinging javascript until you say I've had enough and can devote my life to more intrinsic desires even if they don't make as much money. As a society, we need to make more people realize that is a perfectly fine tradeoff to make as long it's a responsible choice for you and your family.
No, actually RosanaAnaDana recommended Fiverr and MattGaiser recommended Indeed. Fiverr seems wild, people there have been building reputations for years. But I'll explore the rest including Upwork.

Yes, "my code" means the code I am responsible for, which includes the rare instances where I copy and paste from the internet. What does "your code" mean to you, if not that?

Correct, the libraries and compilers I use are not "my code". If there is a bug in some library method, I simply don't call that method and do something else instead. This may sometimes mean throwing the library away. Sometimes I will submit a bug report, if the process isn't awful (but it usually is).

I guess I don't understand why any of this is surprising to you?
The initial hires at the US Digital Service all came in at GS-15, level 10. At least, that is what I was offered. It was the only way they could be remotely competitive. I notice that this new program is using only new grads and boot camp graduates. One reason is that they are no longer able to get the special dispensations to offer the high GS ratings.

What about capacity utilisation factor of newly installed turbines? Does it trend downwards? Which means, are we close to exhausting potential of wind?

PS: It's not, it's actually trending a bit up. Which is explainable because average capacity of a turbine trends up -> the turbine is bigger and taller -> wind blows faster and more consistently on higher altitude.

Not particularly. The title would be pretty awkward if it were Yes, We Have Noticed The Skulls, Condemned Them, And Promised Not To Do Them Again, but the body of the article describes exactly that.

I wanted to do an interview with a Taliban spokesman and publish it because i was frustrated with the lopsided narrative of the early coverage of the Taliban surge. It wasn’t until much later that they started publishing interviews with Taliban representatives and you can be sure that those were mostly sliced up with a bunch of important stuff deliberately left out in order to distort the truth. Typical mainstream media stuff. Anyway, I reached out to someone electronically to see if they knew how I might get in contact with a representative. I found myself worrying about triggering surveillance on myself when the NSA intercepted that. Who knows how it works and where the threshold is for them to start monitoring you a bit more closely than everyone else? I started becoming upset about it and the possibilities of the government run amok. It doesn’t bother you until you feel that it’s your well-being that’s impacted. And I always knew intellectually that nothing was going to happen. But it made me realize that our government is 100% out of fucking control. It’s completely unacceptable.

Probably, it'll be more like the fall of the Roman empire; a slow gradual process of increasing instability, culminating not in utter chaos, anarchy and apocalypse, but in finding a new (temporary) period of some stability.

Yes, there’s an assumption by lots of folks that things will ‘recover’ and return to a similar state as the past, but that’s not what usually happens with megafires, especially with a warmer, drier climate.
I also have concerns about the quality of the mentorship based on my earlier experiences. There are high quality mentors to be found, but I agree with you that the ratios are way off compared to the private sector.
My dad was like this - I got plenty of feedback, mainly due to laziness in my youth. However, once I got a job, he stopped advising me on my work or hobbies. I think in his eyes, if I managed to get a job making decent money and lived independently, I was old enough to make my own decisions.
Or too small, as gilded ages and the like show in practice
Not to be confused with the United States Digital Service, which was started in the Obama administration. If I understand correctly, this new USDC program is for early career people, while the older USDS program is for experienced people. They are similar in that both of them have a limited time duration (2 years for USDC, up to 4 years for USDS).
