This one made me laugh out loud and I don't think any of the other replies understood it correctly. The astrologer has gone way out on a limb by telling the man that he is infertile without first ascertaining whether he has children. Then, when cornered, he desperately tries to cover his error by implying that the man is now infertile. "Look after them (because you won't be able to replace them.)"
Probably because the author is thinking about people with poor vision?

IMO, it's poor design for a page to handle accessibility issues that are already built into the browser. (It's trivial to shrink and zoom in a browser.)
In my experience what you're describing is true. JIRA Scrum is abused by businesses to implicitly blackmail teams into delivering ASAP, that means shortcuts and dependencies to "get shit done". All else is secondary. Tech debt? Put it in the backlog. "Good enough" is king. Every fault attributed to "stupid web devs" is just a projection to mask the true anxiety that the market has deemed expert, artisanal engineering irrelevant to profit and success. A comment above was lauding a fork of an open source electron app for implementing a C++ backend: good luck convincing a business to do that. Microsoft probably does this for VS Code precisely because their demographic are people who profess sensitivity to these types of details, but the broader population is not.
It is hard to look at the state of today's financial services and say everything is optimal: even in the EU, most of the regulation you mention (free wire transfers, low-fee credit cards) was a reaction to egregious inefficiencies that a more dynamic and competitive industry would have squashed by itself, without the need for a years-long process of regulation and legislation.

There is absolutely a place for disruptive technical experiments like cryptocurrency in a small part of the system, and to have good regulation of the rest of the financial system. It seems to me that the current balance is doing exactly that. Why are people dogmatically assured that technical advances in payments can only be driven by governments, when technical advances in virtually every other IT-adjacent industry have not worked like this?
I agree, and I think it's probably a good idea for any class that isn't a simple structure with functions.

I suppose that a problem with C++ (and the more feature-filled source control systems) is that it's dangerous to mix different levels of programmer sophistication in a team. The people are reflected in the code particularly as the obfuscation increases.
Probably cost too. Intel had a big profit margin on their chips.
How funny to find hackers trying to avoid paying journalists for their work on a story about a company that's trying to avoid paying hackers for their work.
> Which means: for the people with a high enough AFQT score, IQ is correlated with AFQT score. This is indeed interesting, but generalizing to the rest of the population is a methodological mistake.

No, because everything else we know about IQ, especially the existence of positive manifold, strongly suggest that it will also correlate at lower IQs too. You can’t just say “the study on X has not included Y, therefore we should have absolutely no expectations about any sort of relationship between X and Y”. That’s not how science works.

Alas, there have been other studies done, and it turns out that indeed, AFQT/ASVAB score and IQ correlation does in fact extend to areas on the left side of the distribution too, exactly as expected. To reiterate: this correlation exists across entire spectrum, not only among high IQ people. If anything, the correlation at high IQ is lower than expected, because of range restriction effect.

> Moreover, there is no reason to assume the AFQT score to depend only on genetic factors alone

Fortunately, nobody is claiming that, so you won’t have to put much effort to convince anyone otherwise.

> no direct one-to-one correspondence AFQT percentile scores and IQ scores can be stated.

It can, though. The problem is that the population of military test takers is not representative of population at large. For one thing, its average intelligence will probably be higher, due to relative scarcity of mentally disabled people. However, if you know the parameters of IQ distribution among military test takers, you can easily convert AFQT/ASVAB to IQ.
The Visor, a foldable keyboard, and a Nokia phone was my office! Best days ever.
Agree. They are working hard to kill all the good stuff in macOS and if they have a way to close it, as iOS and replace it with iPadOS with some xcode implementation, it is over.
Better to invest in multi-platform software and run VMs.
Luckily for me I have seen the writings on the wall and switched this year.
On a harware level, instead of giving Apple ton of money I now run in the office custom pcs with water-cooling and laptops are Thinkpad X1 Carbons.
There are concerns about the weight of glass (energy cost), the energy required to create and recycle, the likelihood that even things like "reusing beer bottles by just washing" have risks with glass chipping or having cracks that extra costs to reuse. I'm less up to speed on all of these costs and risks so take with a grain of salt.

>On the web today, [...] In order to submit an edit for this page, I hosted all my code on microsoft's servers.[...]

I assume you're talking about people using Github instead of hosting their own server?

But before Github, people also avoided hosting code on their own servers or paying $10/month for a datacenter VPS -- by using previous services such as SourceForge or Codeproject.com.

If a bunch of people need to do activities <X> and <Y> but <Y> has higher priority in life, then some other service conveniently doing <X> will emerge. That's what Github is... it's a natural emergent phenomenon arising from people not wanting to mess around with running self-hosted Gitlab on a laptop, or Raspberry Pi, or on a $10/month Digital Ocean droplet, etc.
No, I'm arguing that "The Supreme Court even said it was okay" isn't sufficient evidence that a medical treatment is good.
All true.

To add some history - AMD's semi-custom segment dates back prior to Su's CEO seat. It was initiated in 2012-2013 under CEO Rory Read [1], although Su was heavily involved in it back then too (as SVP, and eventually as COO, before taking over as CEO in 2014). It ended up primarily targeting game consoles, though it claimed residual wins in other markets too.

It turned out to be an excellent move at the time, as it proved to be a bit of a lifeline during AMD's rough years. And modern-day AMD continues executing on it well.

I also agree w/your general point - given AMD's history doing this kind of thing, it's tough to see what Intel could do in this segment that AMD couldn't do better.

That's actually a nice idea in forcing even the default language to be handled by the same workflows, processes, and tools as the other languages. I've found that in a lot of those cases there simply is lots of context missing from the strings that should be translated. If all you get is the English text without any indication of how and where it's used in the UI, you're bound to make such mistakes in the translation.

For example, it took me a while to figure out why Word 2007 in its German version used the word »Gliederung« for the stroke of a shape. But translating »outline« in a word processor to mean »document outline« instead of »shape outline« is actually quite understandable.

Back then I tried thinking about automatic or semi-automatic solutions to get a bit more context for the translator. The trouble is that most UI toolkits make it very hard to impossible to solve this, unless the developer actually knows enough about the problem to always include context and a description. Qt has (had? That was pre-QML, I think) a nice mode in its translator UI where the XML UI description could be used to show the string in its UI context. Windows Forms had a way of changing the form's language and simply replacing all strings directly in the designer (which has the problem that the translator might accidentally destroy all layout). Most things that are used just from source code have no visual way of relating strings to UI at all.
Unless he was referring to $4k/mo for renting a 4TB server?
The piping is a good chunk of the gain but the gimli library is still much faster than addr2line & uses less memory if used correctly. Since libbfd shows similar results, I'm thinking there might be a speed bump from switching to use it (some care has to be taken to preserve 0-copy semantics across FFI).
this website goes in a cycle. electrons bad, electrons good. nobody holds a real position. the current "correct" take is a whim based on flavor-of-the-week politics.

and of course nobody here talks about the end user, or the social effects of electrons. please take some responsibility!!
While violence is sometimes justified, I think it's still better to build a society that tries to solve its problems without violence or prevents problems that can only be solved with violence.

When you have reckless people attacking the elderly you need better psychological healthcare and a better social system to prevent that.

I understand your point and in a narrow context it's definitely true, but in a larger context you can prevent most violence by changing society.
> “…Sports (where competition is the whole point outside of the Ivy League)…”

the point of sports in the ivy league is also competition, whether they’re able to be as competitive as other leagues or not.
The cruel irony of this was that despite how friendly their society was toward violence (as seen by these quotes)... they weren't particularly awesome at fighting for it.
Netflix actually encouraged us to interview at other companies. They (rightly) felt it was a win for everyone. You got to learn a little bit about another company as well as about yourself and what you wanted in a job.

And if you decided to leave, then it freed up a space for someone else who would be happier in your role, and if you stayed it provided information to HR for level setting not only you but all your peers as well.
~$40K? or ~$4k/mo?
Schopenhauer is one of history's biggest assholes, it's like his whole thing. No one liked him even when he was alive.

It's very noticeable when you pay attention and compare it to the others. There are generally a lot of capacitors there, and only one or two will be swollen (the top part is supposed to be flat or even slightly curved inward, if it's curved upward, it's bad). Really, if it even looks slightly out of place, change it, capacitors are dirt cheap.

I'm not sure it can be broken without being swollen, or at least that's not a frequent failure mode.

Having repaired a few displays just like that, I can say it's really easy provided you are able to open the display and solder on a basic level, which anyone can learn in an afternoon.

On the other hand, not all display will be that easily repaired. Sometimes, you cannot easily identify any swollen capacitors, or there is a burn mark somewhere else, or something else that you cannot identify (and thus order a replacement for). In those cases, unfortunately it generally doesn't make sense to bring it to a shop to be repaired by pros.
> The point of getting vaccinated is not to protect yourself, as much as to protect your community.

The point is first and foremost, and by a long way, to protect yourself. Herd immunity is a by-product of mass immunisation programmes, not the main goal.

> I view people who won't take the vaccine because they perceive their personal risk as low to be selfish

If their personal risk is low (as opposed to perceived low), which it is for the vast majority, then they're not having a selfish effect on others as they won't be taking up medical resources they shouldn't. If there's any "selfish" people - according to this strange standard you've built - it's those with high risk due to comorbidities they could've done something about, like their weight, and I wouldn't for one second paint them as some kind of moral deviants, they're people who need help in the short term and long.

> Additionally, anyone who won't get vaccinated because they don't want anyone else to tell them what to do is childish.

To make your own decisions and take your own risks is the mark of an adult because adulthood is about taking responsibility on, not abrogating it. Whether they are good decisions is a different discussion.
As I said in your quotation, it was because I assumed your actual question was more general, that El Salvador is just the subject here, but for the purposes of your question it's just standing in for 'some other country with another [perhaps minor] currency', and so Wise not currently supporting SVC specifically would be rather arbitrary.

If you do actually want to send money to an SVC denominated account in ES, then no, it doesn't help you (beyond 'you could sign up to be notified'...), sorry for bothering you with it?
They had a professional officer corps and drills. In fact, that's mostly what the Spartiate class was really.

Since other city states had armies comprised of the gentry donning a suit of armor when needed, it made a lot of a difference in that context.

Well it turns out that you can have a worthwhile society while also having a professional officer corps and drills, it's just that the Spartans didn't.
Indeed. They were good are producing high-quality individual infantrymen. But (1) there weren't very many of them, and (2) there's a lot more to winning wars than how tough your infantry are.

I'm reminded of Adolf Hitler and Hideki Tojo who both thought that Americans were only interested in money and sex, decadent, undisciplined and unmilitaristic (all true, to some extent), and that therefore they'd be easy to beat in a war. It didn't quite work out for them!
I bet dumping 1 or 2 USD billions worth of BTC each day would have a slight impact. Not to mention the fact that not everyone can sell noticeable amounts of BTC, let's say for "visibility" issues...
> Decentralised systems are always more inefficient.

A centralized system like Western Union is very efficient, unfortunately the owner of that system keeps the excess efficiency (fees) for themselves..from the perspective of the user it's not efficient.
I def think there is something to that. And the short term memory thing is true too... like you're kind of in a daze and not as sharp sometimes. Paranoia and hypersensitivity to social situations too.

Haven't done in over 1.5 years, still has a stack, and not sure if will save for a special occasion or just throw away.
I never knew this was a thing, but it makes perfect sense, and apparently works pretty well too.

"The foil, usually applied with thousands of staples, isn’t off-the-shelf Reynolds Wrap, though it is sold in rolls. It’s aluminum on the outside, woven threads of polyester and fiberglass inside, and laminated with a high-temperature adhesive, according to Dan Hirning, founder of Firezat, a San Diego company that sells the foil."
Could a rogue SSD move things around in your filesystem? If so, couldn't it install a rootkit?

Either way, it's not just about backdoors. A blob is like a car that you cannot perform maintenance on. You want to be able to fix bugs, and also inspect it to check if there aren't any. Maybe customize it.

Sparta milked the Thermopylae battle a lot, presenting themselves as defender of Greek independence against foreign invaders, sometime even as they were taking money from them to pay for their wars against other Greek cities
You are not wrong, but there are multiple billion dollar companies that build their products on top of Electron. Presumably they could afford to hire engineers or Google could step in and optimize Chrome's renderer for Electron's use cases.

I may be wrong, but as things are now, Electron, more or less packages an unmodified, headless Chromium.
The GPL doesn't require “contributing back”.

You can't just give out binaries without source, but you can choose not to release anything. The thing is, as usage models shift to include a lot of what the FSF very reasonably relabels SaaSS (Service as a Software Substitute), you can release nothing but provide the functionality over the network and reasonably expect people to use it that way. Since you haven't distributed the software itself to anyone, the GPL doesn't put you out of compliance for not showing them your code or letting them distribute it further.

This is the situation the Affero GPL (AGPL) was intended to address—it requires (or tries to require) that source code also be accessible to anyone who is given access to the software over a network. (Imprecisely speaking, that is; do check the license text if you want the specifics.)
Or maybe the translator should get annotated screenshots of the app. Laid out in a story board.

If you just hand someone a list of strings to translate, there's no way you'll get sensible results.

Also, you should test you translations. Some of the translations that I've seen (even from reputable companies) are so bad that it's pretty obvious no native speaker has ever looked them over.
Sparta was good at fighting, but bad at war!

Spartans were known to have terrible logistics, they couldn't field an army for more than a year. Back then, most armies needed to live off the fat of the land and/or have huge supply trains to remain effective, and Spartans had neither skillset. (When talking Bronze age tactics: this was the key advantage of slingers, who could craft their sling-bullets from clay and rocks found near the battle areas. Mass production and distribution of arrows was still not mastered in the 1000 BC-era or so)

As such, Spartans would "gloriously" run into a few battles, declare themselves superior, then go home. While the enemies would just keep marching towards their target, sustainably pressing forward.

Its like watching an expert Sprinter battle a Marathon Runner. War is a marathon, not a sprint. Consider the Persian armies that fought against the Greeks: thousands of miles away from home.

In contrast, Spartans fought on their home turf and barely were able to do so effectively. Sure, they won a lot of battles, but holding back the Persian army required more than just winning a battle here or there.

----------

That's why the Athenians worshiped Athena: the goddess of wisdom _and_ war. They realized that waging war was both an issue of might and intelligence. Intelligence to move your supplies and organize them so that your armies can stay in the field longer than your enemies.

--------

That being said: the Marine Corps glorify the Spartan way of thinking, because the USA's Marine Corps are designed to be the spearhead of battle.

The Army is more about logistics. Its got less glory but is more practical. They don't glorify the Spartan way.
I know this is from The Verge, and I feel weird upvoting, but I've been using the Keychron K4 and I absolutely love it. I bought it because it's the only mechanical keyboard that I've seen that has support for macOS keycaps (cmd, opt). I can easily switch between macOS and Windows mode, which is great when I want boot into Windows for gaming.

If you're looking for a well made mechanical keyboard for macOS, Keychron doesn't disappoint.

To block something like this you need to determine what is botnet traffic vs legit traffic. It's hard.

Source IP doesn't work since it is random and changes. You need to look at things such as HTTP headers, TCP window and any odd flags that might be set. If you're lucky the botnet isn't capable of running a copy of Chrome or Safari or using a random sample template from legit traffic. Lots of botnets are made up of low power IOT devices so once these devices are capable of running a full headless chrome it will get harder.

Not to mention when you do figure out how to discriminate traffic you have to code it. And the code to determine valid traffic vs invalid better run fast because you are getting hit with 100k requests per second. Oh did I mention the attacker can change their algorithm whenever they want? Hope you have a full tensorflow ML/AI pipeline that configures your hardware based ingress of choice just in time. All this while making sure your current production traffic is being served at a speedy pace and not blocking legit customers.

These are some of the issues Cloudflare and companies like them have to deal with.

It is a very interesting series. However, I think he understates classic Spartan military prowess.

If you look at Deveraux's list of military victories and defeats, you will see a lot of the defeats came after the Peloponnesian war. I believe even Greek sources talked about how Spartan society became softer after winning the Peloponnesian war.

Also, the Spartans were famous for their army not their navy.

If you take the list and remove naval battles and battles fought after the Peloponnesian War, you end up with something like 12 victories and 4 defeats with is a 75% win rate which is likely pretty impressive all things considered.
I wish the users could edit the text and then the app would take over a text the users agreed upon in majority. It cant be that hard.
I always thought the tactics of the Krypteia against the helots looked similar to the KKK.
I would think unloading from a dish washer is faster than from the drying rack as it is more organized so easier to grab similar dishes. The drying rack gets chaotic once you get large amounts.

As for dishes not cleaned, that is true, you’d need to count that somehow into a bigger equation.
An interesting opinion on OOP in F# from Eirik Tsarpalis, who curiously started out their programming with pure FP in Haskell [1].

And a talk from Don Syme, the author of F#, on good F# code as they see it [2]. It's a great talk overall and they specifically address OOP's good and bad bits starting from about 39:00.
