very much this, powerlessness and also inability to discuss the problem honestly, or even be heard can be the real reason behind the pain
Wow, a new C trick I didn't know about. What's the history here?

Also, gross.
I've avoided C++ for most of my career, but one idiotic mistake I do remember making was accidentally leaving an open curlybrace at the end of one of my source files. The C++ compiler ran and reported 1000s of compilation errors all through every single other file -- in my code, throughout all the library code I included.

Easily diagnosed if you're working incrementally, one small change at a time, and making checkpoints with version control: `git diff`, carefully review the diff of what you changed since the last checkpoint where things were more or less working. I must have not been disciplined enough to work like that at the time.

Troubleshooting systems integration failures is also character building for getting better at diagnosis from errors. Sure, it's failing, but let's try to figure out the immediate layer of failure from the logs, error messages, symptoms: name resolution? tcp? tls? http proxy? authentication? authorisation? api spec misalignment? error in our application code or the system we're directly talking to? unexpected data? error in some other system that we depend upon transitively? each time you hit a new novel failure mode, or fail at one level deeper, you're making progress!
Yes, and let's stress _long_ vacations.

We need our brains to disconnect and we need at least 4 days to a week to start feeling "on vacation" [citation needed], so anythin less than say two weeks or whatever (milage may vary) and you just came from work or are worrying about going back to work. Last time I went on vacation I forgot for a moment where I worked :-)
Dude if you think not mixing cookies is in the same category as antivirus software you are greatly mistaken.

And your response illustrates my point. You think the poor souls you manage are ungrateful "cunts" who should thank you for the "freedoms" given by their benevolent dictator.

Again, what company is this? If you're this proud of your leadership, go on record.
I mean, it's a spectrum really isn't it? NSA, Facebook, Google, they're all involved in surveillance in different ways and to different degrees.
You're on a tech focus site here.

Age discrimination almost certainly goes one way in these cases. That's if you're above 40, and looking to join an early stage start-up, you'll find you're often not a culture fit.
When you upvote a link, LinkLonk tries to extract the feed url from the metadata of that page. So most of the time you only need to submit a link to the content you found useful and LinkLonk will start tracking the source feed and will bring you recommendations from it.

Here is an example of a Substack newsletter issue:
https://linklonk.com/item/2348076191098765312 which has this feed url: https://semianalysis.substack.com/feed and if you scroll down on the item detail page you will see other issues of that newsletter in the item-based recommendations

If there is feed url in the metadata, but you know the feed url, then you can submit (linklonk.com/submit) the feed url directly and LinkLonk will connect you to it.
And that drills down into my point.

"alive" and "intelligent" shouldn't by synonyms. We should reserve the word "intelligent" for a certain considerably higher level of ability and complexity than can be ascribed to most anything living. When you say every living system is intelligent, the word ceases to add any information and you might as well just say "alive" and drop "intelligent".
So what? Prices for labor are based on supply and demand, not the potential profit of services in each market.
Fair enough. Framing it like that it seems like a small step from a dystopia.

But let's face it, we're feet deep in it already: unless you control what code runs on your device you're never safe from code that scans data on your device.

I not sure I really buy the slippery slope argument. If in the future Apple wanted to be more intrusive, they would just be more intrusive and scan your photos on your device for real, not with a convoluted and probabilistic fingerprint method.

What is the weak point? To get people accustomed to being scanned? Aren't people already? Your content is already scanned the moment it reaches to the cloud.

What does this extra client-side scanning add to the dystopia that we're not already experiencing?
This all seems reasonable! All I'm pushing back on is the idea that you could draw a conclusion from votes on the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Obviously, you can't.
That doesn't affect Perdue's guilt.
I've mostly used this functionality to get my cookie out for Phantombuster.
Plenty of people have lost their clearances over drinking too much.
The chrome change doesn't stop you from being able to delete cookies and cache for individual domains, it's the ability to inspect specific cookies.
Could be, but one hears of a multiplying effect: numbers of households moving from California times the absolute housing price differences, in terms of money flowing into local housing markets.
San Francisco, California. Much has been said about SF about losing people, but empirically, more people are entering than leaving SF. Bet on SF now and in the future.
That's odd, I don't remember a single concussion in any game for the 3 years I played. I wonder if in the US kids play more football-like? I played in Spain, where it's a fringe sport, very rare outside the amateur/college circuit.

For practical purposes, I get you. But if it is the same essence at its very core, maybe we shouldn't separate them so vigorously when we think about it philosophically.
Why does this require Android 9 or higher?
I have friends and family in Russia and their attitude to Putin ranges from active ignorance to hatred.

Everyone agrees that he serves as a bad example to follow.

So yes, first hand knowledge may fail you.
Christopher Rufo defines critical race theory as everything he doesn't like, so of course he'd see phantom CRTs lurking behind every shadow and around every corner.

From here[1]:

> Christopher Rufo, a prominent opponent of critical race theory, in March acknowledged intentionally using the term to describe a range of race-related topics and conjure a negative association.

> “We have successfully frozen their brand — ‘critical race theory’ — into the public conversation and are steadily driving up negative perceptions,” wrote Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank. “We will eventually turn it toxic, as we put all of the various cultural insanities under that brand category. The goal is to have the public read something crazy in the newspaper and immediately think ‘critical race theory.’”

I was using the singular example from the parent comment. If it would convince you more, I will provide others - though I'm sure you could think of some yourself, if the mood took you.
Sounds like you want Windows AME.
Funny I don't use either method to show or count three; I use my pinky (who I'd start counting) and the next two fingers.
That’s a great point. I have seen secretaries take training after hours to get certificates and degrees. When finished they apply locally and perform well, since they already had an idea what the job is. Some employees who have known the person in the old role find it hard to treat the colleague equitably. In that situation sometimes the best way forward is to take the new credential to a place where no one knew you before you got it.
It not established in the study (that I can see in their findings) that people under 50 were wearing mask less than those above 50. The finding only showed that those under 50 did not benefit.

There could be any number of reason why the result of the data look like it is. If those villages are mostly small farming communities it might be that young people spend most of their time outside on the fields or herding animals while the older population spend more time inside. It might be that the older generations after a long hard working life need more active help from younger family members and can't do distancing (like in our elder care facilities). Mask has a rather good track record when people are working inside in close physical proximity to risk groups.

Since the study did not explore those question we can only speculate.
> The person was more than willing to sell them a cake because he did not discriminate in his business on who he sold his items. What the disagreement was on is he did not want to perform the artwork on the cake.

No, he refused to make any cake at all for the event for which one waa sought, explicitly because it was a same sex wedding. Artwork was not the issue:

---quote---

Phillips informed the couple that he does not “create” wedding cakes for same-sex weddings. Ibid. He explained, “I’ll make your birthday cakes, shower cakes, sell you cookies and brownies, I just don’t make cakes for same sex weddings.”

Pre smoking ban, regulation required airlines to change air more regularly (every 3 minutes I believe). Now they change it with half-new half-reused air.

From the article:

> They don't change the air as regularly, as it costs money to bring fresh subzero air in from outside and heat it to cabin temperature. By the time you reach your destination the percentage of carbon dioxide in the cabin from breathing is much higher than it should be.
The basic concept of Apple running private pictures through an KI algorithm to detect something worthy of investigation.

The algorithms never work 100% right. That means there will be always humans in the loop, sorting through false positives etc. which means probably very private pictures here in this context.

And to the end user it does not matter, whether this happens on the server or on their device. The message is: your pictures are not private with apple.
TLDR;

$15/hr is what populist politicians have been calling a living wage. What do you think they should pay?
How many employees are already in the company? What stage of funding is the company at (seed funding, round A, B...)?

As a rule of thumb, there's about 15-20% of the entire company stock that is allocated to employees. If you are negotiating for employee #1-3, there's room. If you are employee #50, you are looking at a decimal point.

Always ask for the current valuation.

The interesting part is that they remember a lot to prehistoric mammals like Cynognathus or to moles walking, but then you realize the eight feet.
I'm not sure what your point is, but famous actors and sports-stars have little to do with labour unions. A labour union is all about fighting for the rights of the undifferentiated many, not the situation where there are named celebrities in a winner's zero-sum market.

When there is a pool of people waiting to take your job, and a company willing to lower working standards, you have little choice but to comply with company requests — unless you are part of a union that collectively acts in the interests of the workers.

For software developers there are forces against unionisation:

1. Global outsourcing. What's the point in unionisation if your job can be done by a motivated pool of workers overseas? A union has little bargaining power at the level of outsourcing complete business units. Or buyouts: I am in New Zealand and whole companies here are purchased by American companies.

2. Many software developers are not easily replaceable. It is difficult to replace a person who has specialist software skills or internal organizational knowledge.

3. There is no pool of easily identifiable talent.

4. Developers have to be dissatisfied with working conditions.

5. Developers have to have reached a ceiling (experienced). In a fast growing industry with technical churn, less experienced developers outnumber older developers? Hard to argue with new blood why unionisation is in their interests?

Edit: I did a quick search for "software developer" on https://seek.co.nz job board and about 1% of jobs were for USD140k+ and most of that 1% were not dev jobs. I know zero developers earning >= $200k. AFAIK pay in NZ for developers is significantly below the US. Opportunity there if you want trustworthy highly skilled remote workers that speak English. Main bummer is NZ is 16 hours ahead so 3PM EST is 7AM NZ time, and Friday in the US is Saturday in NZ https://www.worldtimeserver.com/time-zones/nzst-to-est/
Razors are inherently self-identifying as heuristics - not rules. So no need to add more disclaimers.

I have a very similar story with a Netgear ReadyNAS nv+ that has been running for about 10 years. I put 4x 2TB disks into it on RAID 5, and have a spare sitting in a box in case I get a failure. Daily offsite backup. Not a single issue over the years. I have ssh, and it's just Debian under the hood, so I've added a bunch of extra stuff to it.

I have no idea what I'd use nowadays. As someone pointed out, if the box itself dies, I'm screwed. I think it uses mdadm under the hood, but that's a guess. Maybe I'd just buy a mini ITX barebones that holds 4 drives, boot off a usb stick that runs FreeNAS and configure the disks in a simple 2x2 mirror.
Yes, the problem is that you still need pointers, and furthermore, pointers to different kinds of objects, of different sizes. Also, Go’s garbage collector should know about the pointers.

You could represent the heap as an array, use array offsets instead of pointers, and do your own garbage collection, but that’s pretty low level and you might as well compile to WebAssembly.
So will we see a startup: Uber for alternative policing to whom small retailers submit surveilance camera footage, and expect a series of crimes to be merged into a single case?
It does, but Microsoft doesn't consider that level of minimalism to be an "end user" use-case, so it's not an option available to end users to install.

Instead, in Microsoft's minds, this is a use-case exclusively of interest to embedded-device system integrators (i.e. the people building the world's ATMs, billboards, gas pumps, slot machines, ticket kiosks, etc.) So that's how they market it: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot/

Make no mistake, though, you can just download and install Windows IoT Core onto any random PC; and (mostly) arbitrary Windows apps can be installed and run on top of Windows IoT Core.

The only proviso being, that IoT Core is maybe a bit too minimal for your use-case: IoT Core assumes you don't need a desktop (because you're likely remotely managing the device, and deploying a full-screen kiosk-style app that isn't meant to be broken out of.) It still has a graphical "control plane" shell sort of thing, but it's entirely built on the Metro/UWP UX, with no ability to launch programs in windowed mode. (Essentially, there's no window manager running.) I believe this means that Win32 apps that try to spawn multiple windows (e.g. old versions of Photoshop that make the palettes their own windows), won't work on IoT Core. Most modern stuff avoids that, though.

I would note that this "remote-deploy and boot apps in fullscreen, with access to Win32 but not GDI, graphics only though UWP" paradigm, closely mirrors the experience of using an Xbox One in developer mode. I bet the "distro" of Windows used between IoT Core and the modern Xbox are near-identical.
Toasters can process information, but nobody would say that they are intelligent.

Question for people that understand mRNA vaccines: why does the third dose supposedly have the same exact formulation? The narrative in the beginning was that this new technology would allow for vaccines to be developed and manufactured in ~1 month, tailored to the variants (even claiming that cancer would be next). Why can't we have a vaccine that's more effective against the new variants?

How? If Perdue said “this is basically a miracle pain killer. It carries risks.” and doctors said “k, my patients hate pain, I’ll prescribe it heavily!” that doesn’t sound like Perdue’s fault

I was taught binary math in elementary school in the mid 70s. The problem was that they had to teach it to the parents too, unless the parents were not able to help their children with homework.
If the # of crimes goes up 10x or 20x, and the police department stays the same size, you really think they are going to triage chasing down all the petty crime?
I don't think many non-developers use the dev tools for tasks, while people merely interested in technology (gamers and such) will get a gentle introduction to how cookies work from looking through the cookies in the normal interface. Those people might go on to become developers eventually.
So 2 years of house arrest would make you happy?
Except all Amazon has done was taken a group marginalized by the prison system (war on drugs) and is taking advantage of their position (drug testing vulnerable or felon status due to drug arrests) and putting them in a situation where they are at the absolute mercy of Amazon if anything were to happen. (Get T-boned by someone who ran a red light? We'll drug test you and fire you for cause even if you were sober at the time.)

This is an extension of prison labor.

The claims in that article are a bit tenuous - such as 'we have no way to control the spread of delta', when in fact we do - isolation, quarantine, reduced travel, contact tracing, masks, social distancing, vaccination, etc.

A year ago we didn't have a vaccine, and now more than half the population of most western nations are vaccinated. The idea that we have no alternative but to 'surrender to delta' because it's inevitable that 'literally everyone will get it' is depressingly pessimistic.

We can apply the above remedies, while developing and distributing booster shots that cover delta.

Similar applies to various other VOI/VOC's on (or not yet on) the radar.

As someone with a very personal relationship with marijuana, I really despise the "pothead" culture. The idea that weed makes you permanently stupid or incapable of working normally whilst sober is simply wrong.

Like everything, being responsible goes a long way. There are responsible marijuana users and irresponsible ones. Blaming it on the weed is really the lazy part of "pothead" culture.
It doesn't need to be rational hatred. Needles hurt, so people hate them.

I mean, I'd want my kindergarten teacher to be focused teaching kindergarteners. I don't want them to be an expert on calculus, just be the best teacher for a kindergartener. Same thing as "i want my IDE to focus on being an IDE, and not add facebook integration".

I feel like making sure the absolute fundamentals are well ingrained in your kid is way more important than trying to teach them binary.

Important stuff like learning the alphabet. How to read simple books. Things like that.
I’ve seen other people use "interactives", "interactables", and "explorables" (as in "explorable explanation"). Those feel a little forced to me.

At Distill we simply called them "figures" or "diagrams"; sometimes "interactive figures" or "interactive diagrams" when the distinction needed to be made.
Perdue paid them to look the other way. I'm equally guilty whether I trick someone into poisoning someone else or pay them to do it.
My understanding (based on my not so great memory of an EPA air filter report) is that there are two basic types of this general type of filter and the electrostatic ones do best near the beginning and get worse over time while the others get better over time but with flow rate suffering. There are a few consumer air filter makers that do much better than most of them, particularly when it comes to the smallest particles, and I think they rarely if ever use the electrostatic ones for the inner filter. Those filters also cost quite a bit; I think the electrostatic ones can do a better job at low cost. For smoke in particular filters can easily aquire a smoke smell that makes them unusable well before they otherwise would be, unless there is a large carbon filter before it, so that favors low cost filters.
I think you have a valid point. What kind of populist reforms do you attribute to Trump? Do you wish that Caesar would have killed the populist platform and eradicated the aiding of the urban poor, and just kept the parts of his platform that did nothing for the populace?

After much fanfare near the beginning of the article about tackling climate change, part way into this it mentions the trees reaching maturity and indirectly that they can then be successfully logged. Which means such plantings are little more than a note in the margin as far as tackling climate change is concerned. If you're not securing the continued sequestration of that carbon either as standing trees or burying it then it ends up back in the atmosphere again and the net benefit is zero.

Frustratingly this seems to be a common flaw in lots of talk about reforesting. The NZ billion trees initiative is similar, once you get into the details it turns out to be little more than a continuation and scaling up of commercial forestry.
