Interviewing / hiring is a real disaster. I'd chalk it up to that as much as anything else. It's a good idea to brush up on your interview prep.

As much as anything though just do more interviews. It can be really hard in those situations not to take it personally. If you can, at some point in your career try to get involved in the interviewing and hiring process just so you can see for yourself how absurd and full of superstition it is at most companies.

Congrats on the severance by the way. That's quite a nice going away.

If you're looking for general content to improve your skills as a developer I've had this site bookmarked for sometime and I see stuff from it reccomended all over the place.

Best of luck!
> Don't worry, I think the conversation has run its course. It seems we're in broad agreement about many things. I hope you'll call your Senators and Representative to express your support for the Freedom to Vote Act. It may not fix the Senate issue but it's a step in the right direction.

Well-said. :)
OSMand is open source and really good for navigation. It's on f-droid.
Are they? I can't go to Wikipedia for explanation of 'poetry, literature, [...] political speeches, legal texts, science papers' aside from really famous and specific examples (such as 'the Bible' which I omitted in quoting).

Even the entry 'On Computable Numbers[ with an application to the Entscheidungsproblem]' for example, redirects to its entry in a list. [0]

where the entire annotation, as it were, is:

> Description: This article set the limits of computer science. It defined the Turing Machine, a model for all computations. On the other hand, it proved the undecidability of the halting problem and Entscheidungsproblem and by doing so found the limits of possible computation.

As I alluded to in a sibling comment to yours, [1] the potential as I see it would be something more like (a less thorough version of) Petzold's The Annotated Turing - line by line annotations of the actual paper, explaining anything non-trivial the reader might want to hover-over.

I'd love to read more academic output, and I honestly think I would if there were an easier Genius/Petzold-style way to be taught the bits I'm missing as I work through it. To my regret I didn't stay for a PhD; I don't have a supervisor to nag or whom who can guide me through easy to harder to grok works.

From everything I've heard, Purdue Pharma knew about the street abuse and at best did nothing, from their end, it probably drove up their sales too. People going through their legit Rx slightly faster because some of their pills were resold (yes, illegally) refilled sooner. Plus, let's not forget Purdue Pharma marketed these as not as addictive - which likely created and sustained the street markets.
Also, just because something else (tobacco) is more deadly doesn't mean we should turn a blind eye to everything to that is less deadly.
That pocket TV is ridiculously cool and he knows it.
I wish niche search engines has an option to group results by domain names. There are a few major sites that dominate Google search results with low effort content. As long as Google stands as the largest search engine, it's unlikely that these major sites will want to rearchitect itself into different domain names.
I have to agree, even though I have plenty of pro-Windows comments.

To me Windows 11 feels like Vista, and to everyone that got burned with the rewrites on the WinRT side, just using plain Win32/MFC/Forms/WPF feels liberating.

Multiple teams are fighting UI politics over WinUI, MAUI on top of WinUI, React Native with WinUI, and classical UWP is not going away (Windows 11 Store is written in it), then ASP.NET team is pushing Blazor everywhere including on Web Widgets.

I will just wait for Windows 12, whenever it comes up, the UI war will be settled by then.
Nobody is trying to relegate CS to a theoretical discipline. But theoretical CS exists, so it doesn't make sense to claim CS is the study of mechanical computers. Since it started as a theoretical discipline, it makes even less sense to say that the field was founded when we first figured out how to practically mechanize the ideas in CS.
Or the single most important point to understand when it comes to government.
I think this comment clearly illustrates the danger I mentioned; "they must have committed some crime" inevitably and often immediately turns into "it doesn't matter whether they committed any specific crime". If we turn the justice system into a purely political exercise, not even aspiring to the ideal of punishing people for specific crimes they've committed, what would the basis of a cry for change be?
Spanish has a million good suffixes, but my favorite is "-azo", which means hitting somebody with something. Puppyazo would be a reference to when somebody was hit with a puppy (or when a puppy was hit, or a when a shockingly big puppy was revealed.)
Surprisingly, no. The number of misses at very close range in high-stress situations is very high. Hit rates for cops are in the 25% - 50% range, and that's with training.

It's easy enough to get a gun to fire. Hitting the right target requires practice.

While the veracity of this is hard to determine, these sort of actions don't surprise me. If you have some of this evidence in writing, a lawyer might be a good place to start.

However, what really stood out to me was the design, or lack of it. The childish paint.exe job on the hero image doesn't help either. It really reads like a scrawled out screed of grievances, being aired without much forethought.

IANAL, but my understanding in the jurisdiction in which I live is that having this sort of stuff up can actually make your case harder! Refine the message and make it much more clear and logical.

In my opinion, you should take this down and contact a lawyer.
Not really. That would be Herman Hauser.
We've investigated ourselves, and concluded that we did nothing wrong.
...why sue in the US? Wikimedia Germany would have been much better...
Reading QL BASIC source code was the first time I was exposed to structured programming. I really liked its BASIC dialect.
I think the person meant contemporary France.
The telecommunications companies themselves screw up the numbers all the time. When you talk to their customer service, tech support, sales, etc, they will say 'megabyte' or 'gigabyte'.
Do expect to keep the data on an active array (so that you can scrub it periodically as ZFS would?) or are you keeping it on some write-once medium (optical disks?)
CHOP was fine. Walked through there multiple times when it was happening because I was curious, it really does appear to me like media blowing things out of proportion for clicks/views.
Thinking about this a bit more, I could also imagine that cell state could not only be encoded in the cell proteome, phosphoproteome etc, but also in the set of already activated (primed) receptors on the cell, so that the final signal only gets sent in cells that have been appropriately primed.
Still today when I see picture of old computer, I get memory of the smell and the glow of the screen (Yes, computers at that time had electric smell).
This only seems scary because analyzing crime data for a continent-sized country doesn’t make much sense. The overwhelming majority of gun crime happens in a tiny percentage of counties.
It would get deep into the grey area if Google users had any capacity of enabling the communications with those sites. As of today, Google is the one in control of the communications, and dictate who can reach anybody over most of the internet. They just don't have a policy of empowering their users to decide who they want to talk to.

What speech is being censored is harder to discover. They are blocking people from communication without any feedback, and it would take a large effort to reach them and discover who they are. Certainly most of what is blocked is spam, but that's true for whatever block you implement today, unless you spend an unreasonable amount of resources targeting it into non-spam.
"We get a lot of spam from those" would fall well within a vaguely defined "valid reason", I'd think.

(Most of my SMS spam comes from .info domains.)
keep up with the good work!
They did that last June in a couple of mass ban waves. Who are they going after now?
The part about stories is not necessarily true though. If your story really is engaging or entertaining, you're scoring social points, people will be happy they listened and might ask you for more.

The problem is that most people overestimate how interesting their experience is to others.
This is not mine. I just found the link on Twitter.
Same thoughts. And the title. This will lead to a defamation case and end up even worse than it is now.
Surely there are better ways to reduce spam than blocking entire TLDs? I also think it's the silent, unfixable nature that annoys most people. Email spam goes into your spam box, where you can still access it. You can mark email as not being spam. No such luck here
Has anyone ported ucLinux to the QL? Shouldn't be that hard.. here it is on a minimal system:

> ...dismissed for lack of standing. In particular, the government argued that we had not provided sufficient evidence of the government’s surveillance for the case to proceed. It also claimed that the case could not proceed because it would require the Court to consider information the government claims is protected by the state secrets privilege. In other words, the government contended that the case cannot be litigated without disclosing information about Upstream surveillance that would harm U.S. national security—and, accordingly, in its view, the entire case must be dismissed.

The classic "you can't prove we did anything illegal, and if you did, that in itself would be illegal" defense. Fuck these people, seriously
RIP

I had a hand-me-down spectrum although I don't remember learning to program on it, just the games. Was probably too young at the time.

So I guess I can credit it for starting my life long love for computer games :)
If that's really the best quote the prosecution can come up with, I can see why the state settled. I suppose you can see this as the smoking gun, if you were already convinced of it, but from a skeptical reading it's really not that obvious. Are they talking about hiding money from creditors? Or just finding other ways of making money now that their previous money-maker (perdue pharma) is going under? Is the state going to convince the jury of that better than the defense?
Yes. Hooking up with Timex (a very stodgy, cheap product company at the time) was a big move. Ultimately commodore did for them, but it took Sinclair to the US.

The Sinclair car would sell well now the market for escooters is established.
But reproduction is a fundamental aspect of evolution, and (most?) cells in the body don't reproduce on their own, but rather they are manufactured. T cells for example are manufactured by bone marrow and the thymus multiplies them if I'm understanding correctly. So I'm not sure how that fits in with the view you explained in your post.

In other words the T cell doesn't get feedback on its own fitness. The fitness feedback is at the level of the reproductive success of a human being (healthy humans can have more kids than sick ones), not the reproductive success of a T cell (because it has no reproductive capabilities and therefore cannot be subject to selection pressures). Correct me if I'm wrong.
I sense that you're trying to make a joke.

In any university, Chemistry is not the study of beakers nor is astronomy the study of telescopes.
What are you trying to achieve? A file system, any system for that matter, is only good for as long as there are drivers to decode the format in which they are written. My concern would be to store whatever data you have in the simplest format you can think of and thoroughly document it. I don't think any file system is trying to solve that problem. To me the things that spring to my mind are cpio, tar, zip, torrent, zsync, etc.
Memory or storage. A couple big SATA drives in a Mac Pro work well for certain uses cases.

I didn't grow up with the ZX Spectrum, but I managed to buy one (actually a few) a number of years ago, and had a lot of fun playing around in BASIC and then writing programs in assembly. The computer's design is so very simple, it was a nice introduction to low-level computing and I now do that for a career. It's no surprise to me hearing about how many careers started on that system, I somehow think that -- in the age of CodeAcademy and endless free JavaScript courses -- computing is somehow so much less approachable.

Sad news, rest in peace Sir Clive.
It might help others, but for your own sake I would take it down and hire a lawyer. It sounds like you are under a ton of stress. Having this up might make finding a new job difficult. Good luck and I hope your wife recovers.
I started with Apple 2+ but back then there were many computers to be fond of. There were Vic 20, Dragon 32, Amstrad, Thomson TO7, TRS-80, BBC. All were different, all had their capabilities. But what was fun is that everyone had access to the whole thing : hardware, software. Nothing was hidden behind layers of security. You could relate software and hardware in a very natural way. Everybody was fiddling around. Also, they were the first computers for the general public so software had to be invented every single day.

I'm truly grateful to have been part of that, it gives such a perspective...
Our API is built from the ground up with the machine learning workflow in mind. For example, we have a training API that allows you to batch requests and even download your embeddings and generate an HNSW index locally. Our view of versioning, rollbacks, and more makes a lot of sense for an ML index, but very little sense for a search index.
Yeah. I got on the Internet in August 1991.

People introduced me to Usenet and told me to lurk on any group for a few weeks to see how people communicate before jumping in.

I remember coming back to school in the fall of 1993 and there were all these new people on the forums asking dumb questions. People would reply "Read the FAQ!" and they would just ignore it and ask questions already answered in the FAQ

I remember people making filters and kill files for anything ending in @aol.com
Is it possible to also make a site that favors a diverse set of information sources? For instance a lot of searches turn up results from Pinterest or Wikipedia or Amazon or whatever else. I wonder if there's room for a search engine that is all about favoring a greater diversity of smaller sources, for those who are less interested in staying within walled gardens.
Turing's Pilot ACE, that Turing considered didn't have enough memory for real work, had 32 mercury delay lines with 1024 bits each: that's four times as much memory as the ZX81.
I don't think it was an allergy, usually an allergy has a fast reaction and happens within 15m, I usually get an immune response though which is more similar to what happened with second shots of the mrna vax for covid. I get a high fever for 3 days and that's that. But the last time I had the shot was after I bludgeoned my foot with a rusty shovel that was about 4 years ago and I had no immune response this time which is more akin to what happens when I get a flu shot.
In my country, we pay a tax on all storage media which goes to content creators. We get to copy any content we legally own at the time of copying, even if borrowed from a friend or library.

So yes, I have an inherent legal and moral right to others' work as I pay for it.
Maybe. 5G still uses more power than 4G over long duration, if both are enough for streaming. 5G power usage benefits come when you download something, and it simply takes less time.
I've worked in settings where frontend development happens concurrently w/ backend, as well as settings where frontend development starts before backend development.

You don't need to have API finality to start work on frontend. There's plenty of things to do in terms of UI that can be done without a APIs being ready. You just implement the skeleton first and fill in the data on a second pass, as it becomes available.

Another alternative that other have brought up is agreeing on an API. This, in my experience, is a "best practice", but in actual practice, schemas change, backend devs don't always honor what they promise, and some bad apples just don't care about/aren't capable of coding to a specification. Pragmatically, it's easier to just consider the entire schema as a blackbox and implement the bulk of the UI with the assumption that the data will attempt to destroy your layout (e.g. by being too big, or having large unbreakable strings like URLs, or stretching things vertically in some way that makes nested scrolling suboptimal).

When you look from that angle, there's plenty of work to do in anticipation for when the data flood gates open, and there's arguably more dependency on effective communication with designers/UX to ensure that the UI can adapt to data with dynamic/unpredictable nature.
I run email servers and I get such a massive amount of spam on "vanity" TLD's that I just block them outright. I don't automatically block them all but any that start sending serious levels of spam get blocked. Which is most of them and that block covers the whole TLD. It's just too much work to try anything else.

Now this is just for incoming email. I still allow web browsing and links to these domains through various systems and outgoing mail to those domains works.

The incoming mail though, I just can't allow it. It's just pure spam at ridiculous levels.
It's not censorship in that it's technically still visible. But it's like shouting over someone when they try to speak. You're still preventing most from accessing the message unless people make a greater effort to find those messages.
Also, how come we always only count murder, as opposed to gun violence? How many times is a gun pointed at somebody, or fired at somebody, or accidentally discharged, vs somebody actually dead?

I don't only fear for my life; I fear for my limb and safety and all the other good stuff too :)

(mind you, FWIW, and hopefully lateral to above questions, I'm not necessarily in the full "prohibit guns" camp, more of a "regulate&license", with thinking that since we regulate cars and airplanes and other potentially dangerous stuff that's even not explicitly made to harm we should regulate & license guns. But again, my questions above are from a more abstract perspective)
… I dreaded this day. He was the first “computer celebrity” I knew of and looked up to.

Always expected him to make some kind of comeback in a world that sorely needs something like what the ZX Spectrum (& C64) was in its time.
Have you ever tried to call the police for an emergency? In my experience they've never been very responsive, no reductions needed.

A friend of mine had literally held someone down who assaulted a woman on a train and the police took 20 minutes to arrive.

I was in a hit and run that rendered my car unusable and the police told me to walk to the station and file a report.

I've got a lifetime of stories like this. I don't even bother calling anymore. This is a major city with a police force that has enough funding to have multiple helicopters.
I'd say Clive Sinclair was more like Britain's Jack Tramiel. Chris Curry or Herman Hauser would be more like Britain's Steve Jobs and Sophie Wilson as Britain's Steve Wozniak.

Wikipedia calls Acorn, Britain's Apple. Just as Apple chose its name because it was before Atari in the phone book, so Acorn chose it's name because it was before Apple.
This is silly, because Gun laws are a central part of the platform and can't be abandoned.

This is like saying if Republicans just dropped anti-immigration from their platform they'd gain a ton of people who don't vote for them because they're Mexican.

Any move like this fundamentally alienates the base.
Aggressive pre-caching so the wireless modem isn't turned-on as long?
What reductions in police? Basically no location has actually defunded their police depts, despite all the talk.
I can't say I have too much trouble going to interesting eateries and coffee shops around cities in America. I agree with you the retail shops are pretty much the same everywhere.

I see (and have bought from) small brands online (especially ones that advertise on social networks and podcasts). In my circles a lot of other people have to. I just assume that these advertisements are a lot more effective than billboards, so billboards are left to the larger companies doing more brand marketing.
Maybe it has better security, but it has worse privacy. Windows 10 is my last MS OS. Heading back to Linux as my daily driver with a System 76 machine.

Search engine indexing is available in Zulip today via Zulip's public archive tool (https://github.com/zulip/zulip-archive). Many larger OSS projects using Zulip, like Rust, Julia, and Lean Prover, use it.

We expect to have a native feature allowing a configurable set of streams to be browsed using a real Zulip web app UI without creating an account, available in beta in the next few weeks; we're actively integrating the implementation via https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/18532.

We plan to look at optional search indexing in that native implementation once the logged-out access feature is complete.

It hasn’t gone away. It’s usage has changed though.
It absolutely is not acceptable to do this without publishing it, although obviously they do it anyway. Imagine if you worked at Facebook and your boss said "Hey can you crank up the negativity on everyone's feed for a few days and then track their emotions? Pretty sure it's gonna make them all angrier, but I want to be certain." You would refuse, because that's obviously unethical. Maybe doing it for published research makes the engineers more likely to go along with it, I don't know.

I guess the main point is that just because there wasn't much negative PR about this before Facebook published their study, that doesn't mean what they were doing was acceptable, it just means most people didn't know it was happening. And experimenting on people without consent in order to enrich yourself has always been and will always be unethical, no matter how many people make their living that way.

One more thing I'm thinking about: sometimes people compare this kind of A/B test to, for example, a supermarket rearranging items on the shelves to maximize purchases. I think there are important differences, although still some ethical concerns. With a supermarket you don't need to interact with or even know about the existence of the shoppers, you can just arrange the store and then monitor sales. More importantly, (I hope) supermarkets aren't running these tests with the expectation of harming anyone. The equivalent of the Facebook study would be putting the unhealthiest products in convenient places and then monitoring customers to see if they gain weight.
