We can agree on it being bad, but that doesn't necessarily mean that we have to censor it, and especially so when such censorship has an already-demonstrated tendency to quickly expand in scope.
You're right, spoking on email falls flat for me too.
Those might be alright. I recall seeing them a lot before Chia was even a thing too. Allegedly cannibalized from laptops (tiny SSD for system + larger HDD for storage configurations) and office desktop computers.

Spotify’s varied and extensive contributions to open source make the company so much more valuable to me. The service is great but what differentiates it for me (from the likes of Pandora or Apple Music) is their community engagement via open source. I really appreciate companies that do this despite any drama that may surround the company. It’s like I view their engineering arm as a whole separate entity. This may be bad on my part, because the means doesn’t justify the ends etc, but it is the reality for me (one I probably should wrestle with more).
SSRIs, and anti-depressants in general, are subject to an unavoidable failure mode of evidence-based medicine's "gold standard", randomly-controlled trials (RCT): ambiguous diagnosis.

If you are unable to distinguish between a half-dozen causes for what appears to be the same illness, your RCT of even a perfect cure (for one of the causes) will show arbitrarily small positive effects, and possibly large negative effects, according to the prevalence of each actual cause represented in the sample population.

Thus, we see assertions in scurrilous publications that "anti-depressants don't work any better than placebo", despite that they make the difference for millions of real patients between 100% dysfunction and normal life. Psychiatrists are stuck with no better means to diagnose the different kinds of depression than to prescribe different anti-depressants, one after another, and see which, if any, help.

It is almost miraculous that the anti-depressants we have were approved. It is doubtful they would be approved today. That is a consequence of fetishizing RCTs as "the gold standard" to imply that no further thought is needed in evaluating its results.

The world economy has abandoned the actual gold standard, for reasons.

... But, yes, to your point, there are certain ad-hoc routes by which evidence can sometimes get through to medical practice despite typical epistemological roadblocks.
And I am saying Bitwarden is not tied to a web browser - it has a desktop client.
0.5% + an on-chain transaction fee, which varies between $0.50 and $60.00, and of course, you have to price in exchange rate slippage over the course of your (a) initial transaction and (b) the hours-long confirmation times of a BTC payment. BTCs top tercile realized volatility is 79% [2]. Then there's the risk your exchange just up and keeps your money (counter-party risk, see Quadriga). Or that the recipients exchange does (counter-party risk, see Quadriga).

Since USD is an official currency of El Salvador, you can just send a USD wire without currency conversion fees, that can be up to $50 -- but Fidelity charges $0. [3]

You could also set up a Wise multi-currency account, which is supported in El Salvador. You'll get banking details in the US (and many other jurisdictions) to which you can ACH money free of charge, or receive a Fedwire for $7. [1]

[edit] If you need to send small amounts of money, Wise is hard to beat. If you need to send big money, InteractiveBrokers Forex trading is the definition of market rate, and their commission is 0.002% (2/10th of a basis point), minimum $2. So, $20 per million.

This has been a solved problem for a very long time.

Deep Work is all about large blocks of time allocated to highly creative/in-depth work. GTD is more of a way of handling tasks that are obvious and known in a methodical way. Deep Work is probably more applicable to software developers or other creative fields than it is to say, someone like a secretary that has to manage a huge influx of tasks that fly in from all directions, most of which are trivial to handle, but can be "paralyzing" when not handled.
To clarify a point on the latter, it’s a temporal thing. I used to be a proponent so there’s no Puritanism here.

In my 20s I knew people who used it. I used it myself occasionally. Hell I even dated a dealer once. No problems. Pro legalisation.

In my 30s some of those people drifted away or grew out of it. Apart from a few. They ended up burning their relationships for it due to it being tied intimately to their identity.

In my 40s now I’ve seen the last few people I know who used it suffering through mental health problems. On top of that there have been a few specific events including someone rolling a car onto my front lawn through my fence when speeding. They were prosecuted for drug driving.

I see a lot of people who haven’t tread this path yet and were where I was. This slow decline and the realisation that there are people who genuinely are unable to act rationally and put others at risk suggests that apart from medical use the net benefit to society is negative.

Now the real negative basis is mental health and at least here in the UK there isn’t the care or support for anyone already. Adding cannabis usage to that is a disaster waiting to happen.

Ultimately the long term study is something we’re not going to have the answers to for over 30 years as we see the impact on society. Hopefully by then it won’t be another fuck up like adding lead to gas.

But even ignoring that effect, most people smoke it and smoking is monumentally bad for you regardless of what you are smoking.
Mutation testing looks really fun until you use it. It has two problems, that false positives and false negatives abound, and that it doesn't scale well as code gets larger. Suppose you modify code, then how long does it take the mutation testing framework to retest the relevant code? On the other hand, mutations can do a good job of estimating test coverage. In particular, they can help to prioritize tests by finding tests that cover the most mutations.
I'm very skeptical of this.

> "With every single one of the patients we studied, we saw the same thing." The study reports data on 14 patients.

Only 14 patients, absolutely no divergence from the reported result? I hate to say it but this feels like a propaganda piece to get previously infected individuals to get vaccinated. I'm not against people doing that, but this article smells fishy.
Seems I misinterpreted your comment.
good. if only she could take Adam Neumann with her.
> So if you have a widget and it matches claim 1-8 but does not match claim 9, it does not match.

This is not correct. If you infringe claim 1 then you infringe claim 1. Whether or not you also infringe claim 9 doesn't matter.

Assuming Claim 9 is dependent on claim 1, claim 9 includes all the limitations of claim 1. So claim 1 is A+B+C.... Claim 9 is 1 + D = A+B+C+D. So if you infringe 9 because you have A+B+C+D then you also, by definition, infringe claim 1 because you have A+B+C.

Also, you can write a claim that has ORs applied. But the drafter has to be really careful with how it is done and it is not the norm.
Roblox resources for 11 year old
My 11 year old just built an obby following this - we are trying to get him into the Metaverse. Any other suggestions?
To achieve that end, he essentially says he wants all his resources somewhere else (hosted by a third party who does the hard work of keeping it online and backed up, etc) and to interact with those resources through a uniform interface via thin-clients that only use local storage and processing power as a cache.

If you still owned all the hardware in this picture, you could argue it's still "personal computing", but once you've offloaded the processing and storage to a third party, it's more "timesharing on a mainframe" than "personal computer".

There are many advantages to this approach, but it does mean giving up something.
I do test exceptions, I just don't test 100% of code paths.

Do you encourage 100% code coverage? Because I think that 100% code coverage is insane...

The problem is that as you approach 100% code coverage, the amount of effort it takes to test the remaining code paths skyrockets. At some point, you decide to stop writing tests. Then static typing steps in, and catches some bugs that were not cost effective to catch with testing. The exceptions are sometimes there because I am programming defensively... as in, "I don't think that it's possible for this condition to happen, but if it does, I'd rather raise an exception." Then I run mypy, and it tells me that there's no such thing as a VauleError.

The other factor here is that when I exercise poorly tested code paths (which again, I'm going to assume exist), it's often because I'm in the middle of working on something else. The simple typo or bad call is an interruption.

This is very very concerning. Not only Amethyst's legion is archetype based, but also Bevy's ECS. So the Rust gamedev ecosystem is somewhat tainted (depending on the specifics on the patent and the source code of those frameworks, but I think that even reading the patent is risky - or at least I was told that, because if you know about the contents of the patent, infringing it is worse)

Setting aside whether or not this patent is silly or abstract or obvious or anything else, I have one important question: what does Unity plan to do with this?

Most big tech companies have a constant stream of patent applications, many of which are granted. But they rarely sue over 99% of them. Sure, Amazon had one-click for however many years and they cared about it. But the other tens of thousands of patents Amazon owns (a couple of which have my name on them as 'inventor') are never going to see a court room.

Why do they patent everything? So that patent trolls can't patent it first and then sue them for patent violations. It's a defensive patent.

Is ECS going to be Unity's "This is ours, no one else can use it without paying us" lawsuit-generating patent? I doubt it. They know they'd lose in court eventually, and along the way the entire industry would stop doing business with them. It would be a complete lose-lose move.

On the other hand, now that Unity owns this patent, no patent troll can go and patent ECS then start suing small-studio Unity customers, like parasites leaching off the success of Unity.
I've had this happen when opening a cookbook. Spooky for sure.

For many of us switching to a closed browser in 2021 is a difficult proposition because of the security, trust and longevity issues. The value trade-off would have to be pretty extreme to even consider it.
IMO, unless you're doing embedded work or building minimal containers, you'll pretty much always have access to a decent runtime (or several).

Python: almost every conventional server. Python dependencies are so ubiquitous that you aren't likely to find a Linux install without it.

Perl: every DEB and RPM machine, and anything with Git installed. You can't really escape it, unless you're embedded.

PowerShell (yeah, I know): every Windows machine from XP onwards (though usable only from 7 onwards), and some Linux computers if installed.

Java: lots and lots of places will have this available.

Dockerized runtime of your choice: not ubiquitous, but I expect more and more developer machines and servers to gain Docker or Docker-like container support.

There really isn't any reason to stick to AWK, unless you're working directly on embedded devices or just like using it.
Except oddly dark mode requires an account. That's a strange requirement when they can pull this from the browser preference.
I've been on both, but I also realize companies putting out a list of almost silly requirements that just about no person ever could meet has made many people 'stretch' their qualifcations too..

I have programmed against and Oracle DB becomes Oracle DBA experience, etc. Because when you do want an actual DBA that has a bit of programming background, you get so many applications for the first type.

Additionally, things like a Linux Systems Administrator can come in many different strenghts, and your going to attract a different level of skill by posting your salary range as 60-80k, than if you post 120-140k. But many employers don't want to post it at all, and then it seems you only get the low end guys applying.
Learning awk is actually pretty simple. For years I just used the '{print $2}' version to extract fields, but after reading some short book I felt pretty confident of having understood the basics.

Sadly I don't remember which book it was, but this page looks like a good start: https://ferd.ca/awk-in-20-minutes.html
I am sure many others have thought about doing something like this, including me, but you guys have done it.

Looks awesome and has huge potential. Hurry up with the Linux build.

It's about time for a browser akin to, you know, a desktop. What an inspiring project
> Let's assume good faith on both sides… I never claimed that.

It’s hard to assume good faith when you keep saying nonsense and then acting like you didn’t. You said:

> Since the middle of the 20th century, we've lost about 75% of biomass and roundabout the same in biodiversity.

That’s obviously untrue, so now you’re acting like you were only talking about fish?

> I think we have established that the 75% is not "off by orders of magnitude". Could it be 60% reduction? Or 50%? Sure.

Did you notice that the 45% reduction was over five thousand years, not ~75 years as you claimed?

Once again, you are saying totally whack stuff to the point where I have to assume you are trolling me somehow.
No no, I understand. It is callbacks. Or some fancy syntax that creates and registers a closure implicitly. But technically it's just a callback - the library calls back into the user code, synchronously. The syntax was never the problem, it's more like this syntax sugar (or in the case of LISP, let's call it semantic sugar) is making it way too easy to do something complicated like this. My strong opinion is that this is not a good idea to do.

RPC is bad, it's an extremely leaky abstraction (network requests pretending to be synchronous function calls). Maybe that's ok for scripts, or in a compute cluster that can guarantee high availability and low latency, but it's nonsensical for general programming (another reason for slowness and clunkiness of so much software).
I used Quickbooks desktop and found it antiquated; create an export and email it to your accountant? No thank you. I then tried Quickbooks Online and it was hands-down the worst piece of software I've ever used. I ultimately landed on Xero, which is "good enough". To echo a number of other comments on this page, my accountants were generally slaves to the software. I actually had to change firms going from QBO to Xero as my existing accountant said they only worked with Quickbooks.

This is all a reminder the current tax system in the US is an unnecessary game made unnecessarily difficult.
Wow. I wonder if you should just reincorporate and have the dead business declare bankruptcy.
>how are you not testing for this?

i wonder how testing for that looks and sounds in corporate environment. It may as well be an area similar to patents - you pretend that you never heard, never discussed, God forbid any mentioning in corporate email/chat/etc. or clicking on a link from inside a corporate network,...

> a calorie is a calorie

See that voice in the back of your head is a little cognitive dissonance. People’s behavior changes based on their diet, but outside of starvation metabolism doesn’t speed up with extra calories they just result in weight gain.

Look all kinds of stuff happens when you go to extremes. But, the human diet has a lot of flexibility which is why we don’t have the one true diet despite a lot of research. At the middle of the healthy range +/- a few percent doesn’t do anything. That’s why so much nutrition research is inconclusive we can’t optimize for an ideal peak of perfect nutrition because close enough gives identical results.

Which is what I am talking about. Take a perfectly reasonable heathy diet that wouldn’t result in long term weight gain or loss and then toss in 100 calories of protein and you get weight gain the same way adding 100 of any other macronutrients or even an even split of all three. That’s true because a perfectly reasonable diet is far from the limits on how much protein you can digest per day.
I'm not sure that's just open source products. Par for course with the largest online services too... looking at you Google, Facebook, and Amazon.

At least with an open source product if I want to pay I can have an issue addressed ultimately. Good luck with that deleted YouTube account or owned Facebook business page.

Thinking on it I'm sure if you're paying enough IBM will be happy to throw developers at any problem you can come up with.
Syncplay already solved co-watching ages ago, the only remaining issue is streaming platforms like Netflix holding the content hostage.
I have to agree, but this seems to be a bit of an unpopular opinion. I don't think it really captured the spirit of the book. It was too nice, and made the characters too likeable.

This is a long and polite way to acknowledge the UnderdogDevs group and not say much else.

Companies have a very strong incentive to miminise the false positive rate and the tradeoffs that they make there mean that they increase the false negatives because the cost of a bad hire is so much higher than the cost on missing out on someone good. In other words they're optimising for precision. I don't know how you start helping these disadvantaged groups without taking on a lot more risk and higher cost.

Computer science lecturer interested in transitioning to industry. Very interested in opportunities involving graphs/network analysis, data science, and/or ed tech.
There are actually a lot of people who only want 20 hour schedules. Students, young people, people who are looking for a little supplemental income. Not everyone wants a full-time job.

Companies are also not wanting to work people more than 30 hours because they then need to provide healthcare under the ACA. That's a whole other topic but it definitely hurts folks who wanted full-time or near-full-time work but didn't need health insurance.
Where is this a quote from? I was curious if exchange rates had changed that much since, e.g. the year 2000, but at 2000 rates, 3000 Rs. is still only about $70, which still seems pretty low for explosive ammo.

A shadowing program for ex cons to spend a month with one your engineering teams. See how software gets built, and also be a part of it asking questions and hanging out with the team.

Create programs that train adults to perform various jobs that are open. For example, many people would be willing to do any job at a tech company - it’s a booming industry. Why not have a pipeline for people to enroll to learn how to be a BDR, customer service, test engineer, etc. that results in them being placed at a job?

Or seriously give me the money and I’ll help set it up for you. All these people and companies talking about this stuff is annoying. Y’all are smart and resourceful so just do it and show us.
> It can be a little clunky to add subscriptions I guess, but how often are you doing that?

And you're saying that as a techie. How do you think the average subscriber of Markiplier, Pewdiepie or Logan Paul would feel about that? Things like peertube will always be a super small niche because there are two dozen alternatives to YouTube and they all suck if you depend on YouTube for income. As long as those oopsies don't happen to the big YouTubers on a regular basis, the status quo will remain.

Plus, as much as people complain about YouTube recommendations, I found a couple small but interesting channels already. Imagine everything were distributed across ten different platforms.
It's striking the site is focusing on the use of it in clinical trials only, and not for general purpose use yet unfortunately.
It's not that unbelievable though. Democracies - generally - foster free thinking. Free thinkers question the policies and are generally critical of the government. It's crucial to the functioning of a democratic society. But then the "enemies" of a democratic society will use the same thing in their favor.
