Don't get me wrong I like paying with technologies, especially keeping up to date. In fact as a consultant that's why I'm brought in, to deliver the new thing the org doesn't yet have experience with. My list and breadth of experience is more than most from the CV's i've seen and the roles I perform going in as a consultant to some very large company's. In most cases up until recently due to job market shift I've been an early user. I've worked across frontend, backend and platform/devops for large flagship brand names and at a smaller scale and i've worked across all three in depth not just touching on them

The re-skilling for me to get employment with a good salary/maintain current salary from my point of view is to do what I was doing 10-15 years ago as a junior. So it's not re-skilling, I know and use/have used these things, it's lowering my expectations on the type of work i'm doing. Meanwhile I'm still on some UK agencies dial lists and there's a bunch of jobs i'd snap up and say yes to instantly. Same for jobs I see in the EU and US. Remote is an option but the timezones are pretty bad for AU, I have a friend who has ended up working overnight for a US company.
Let's be charitable here, the lightning connector appears to be more durable than USB-C, at least on the device side. There's no protrusion, whereas in USB-C the contacts are on a very thin prong that çan be damaged if something small enough manages to get inside the connector.
That's the Fred Brooks "chief programmer" model that the post mentions in the first paragraph. Brooks describes it in one chapter of _The Mythical Man Month_, which is one of those rare cases of a book in the tech field that's still interesting and readable decades after it was written. If you haven't read it yet and you like that kind of book that's about the underlying principles of the craft of writing software rather than specific technical detail, I recommend it.
Unfortunate. What about a dual USB-A one though?
That would be great — I’d love to welcome you to Freenet, where no one can watch you read!

Sure, Delta is more transmissible, but it's not more deadly, as far as any metrics have been able to tell.
Alcohol is not a bad idea (and is something that occurs naturally and that we and some animals have 'discovered'). Too much alcohol is a bad idea.

What the article highlights is not Gen X, but how things have 'regressed' since then. I purposely say 'regress' because I think Gen X, and I'm one of them, was the last free and easy-going generation.

As others have pointed out, this is "the norm", just like group projects in school, there must be at least someone who cares enough and will go extra length. In software projects, they're the ones who make more effort to standardize stuff, refactor, code cleanup, etc. If everyone just do "the basic minimum", projects tend to fail or the quality suffers.

It's not ideal. The challenge is increasing the number of "heroes" (removing the bus factor), and preventing the heroes from burning out or falling back to indifference like the rest.

Note: I'm not saying the rest are lazy. In repetitive/predictable work, that's fine, but when there are lots of unknowns (like most software projects), you need to go the extra mile sometimes.
Maybe a little deeper but VSNZ has the same kind of idea. I went nuts for weeks on this Adriatique set: https://youtu.be/mIv_HcNun-w

All I found Googling is that Tesla's autopilot seems to have more miles per fatality than average so I would like to see the source as well.
From my limited experience, ML is good at massively multi-factor problems. If a human can understand the input, normal code will usually suffice.

This is why ML is pretty much the only option for autonomous driving, but not for calculating credit scores.
Frontlight. E-ink displays are not backlit, because they're opaque. They're instead illuminated on the front side using lights placed on the sides in the frame.
It might be Saxon slang. It means to ride the streetcam without a ticket. Blackriding; sounds so much cooler than it is.

It was a while ago, but I'm pretty sure the semester-ticket was free with matriculation.
I recall trying to look into barcode scanners for personal use (figured I could catalogue everything in my house) but found it surprisingly difficult to find recommendations that seemed reliable, fast and integrated with software usefully.

My dream really is the Home Depot Scanner, because that thing is stupidly satisfying
The studies supporting the usefulness of a 'growth mindset' have been failing to replicate, and it's unclear how useful the concept actually is.
I was fascinated by PCMCIA, because I had a laptop I was trying to put OpenBSD on it in 2001 and its ethernet port was not working, so the card was a workaround. I always wondered why it didn't really take off in Europe, it was a simple and pretty compact way (for the time) to get very advanced stuff in a laptop - I guess it was expensive to produce and the name was atrocious. I believe it got more popular in Japan.
All those stockpiles make you in unstable regions probably also a target.
Humans are extraordinarily longevous. Natural selection doesn't optimize for immortality.
People with criminal histories have paid their debt to society and absolutely should be givem jobs.

People with a history of unethical behavior for which they are unapologetic and never faced other consequences should face additional scrutiny.
People don’t know when something is done, finished and complete. They have to go and fuck around with it.

Look at windows for example. Image how good that would be if they didn’t keep trying to fuck around with it and actually finished something.
You can do both: decriminalize possession, treat addiction as an illness, and also crack down on the channels by which the product enters the market. This is the most beneficial approach, as users get help, and you have fewer new users.
It's not an mlm scheme. It's people delivering a product where there is demand for it. The only countries that have limited drug use are the ones with excessive penalties, laws that are extremely unpopular in pretty much all of the western world. Another poster in this thread also high lights some of the issues with those laws.

Your also making the assumption that drug use it self is a problem that needs to be solved. But it's not, lack of access to clean drugs and lack of support system for people with issues is the problem to solve.

Apple Soundtrack Pro manual for visual reference:
https://usermanual.wiki/Apple/SoundtrackPro30.691501040/view

I fine tune it my self, there is a room for interpretation over basic middle gray as lightness value, you can colorize it with subtle bluish, greenish or warm colors.

Soundtrack Pro example is well balanced implementation.
When they released it I thought that this will be the default pro UI theme in MacOS.

But iPhone came around and Apple left all Pro Software and Audience behind.
Which is why saying “if your lucky” isn’t helpful, but quoting time to exhaust keyspace (knowing that half the time you’ll get it in half the time) is more useful
I’ll go through them:

- it splits data into chunks, encrypts it end to end
→ same as Freenet.

- uses a Kademlia DHT which removes the IP addresses after the first hop so no one can find all the nodes
→ same for Freenet, except that Freenet has many additional privacy protections in the protocol and uses node-locations on a ring like Chord, but with an inferred small word structure that allows efficient routing without the need to be able to connect to anyone but your direct peers.

- has consensus about the files and their evolution
→ Freenet has signed, user-controlled keyspaces, so no consensus is needed. Lifetime is given by access (what people access is kept alive) without actually having to track accesses, which is much safer for privacy than a consensus algorithm.
> The difference would be completely lost on them.

I've definitely heard the life advice to avoid trying this kind of thing in case you do like it, then everything less is permanently tainted with the knowledge that it's not as good.

However, western super-high-price dining tends to be one or both of "demoscene for food" or "NFTs for food"

- demoscene: a series of increasingly elaborate and labor-intensive techniques for showcasing skill in a constrained environment. The Heston Blumenthal/molecular gastronomy approach.

- NFTs: the process entirely about conspicuous consumption; the value of the food is determined by how many resources were expended in the process, not what it actually tastes like. Wines in particular have a value determined by rarity and the secondary market.

The best compromise is probably found around the "twice as much as a chain restaurant" price point; enough to find quality ingredients and staff who aren't too rushed off their feet, not enough that you start getting weird stunts.

Thanks a lot! It's exactly what I'm always looking for.
You still have a black market full of bad actors. That's the problem and that doesn't get solved. Those users of decriminalized drugs still have to go somewhere to get what they want.
Google Chat will force you to upgrade to its updated PWA from September 27
You can't set destination with buses, also they usually don't have seatbelts. I have no idea where you are finding any similarity here. If anything it would be similar to an Uber.
I've just started maining LInux on the desktop (Mint, specifically) and am enjoying it.

Bluetooth drops out from my headphones once in a while, I can't find decent open software to control the fans in the machine, and getting sound passthrough to work from an audi o input had to be done via the commandline, but apart from that it's been an ok experience.

I'll note that I'd previously given the latest Ubuntu a go, but the UI/WM is a complete and utter mess. Mint is much cleaner.
I believe the full list of leaked documents is here: https://drasticresearch.org/2021/09/21/the-defuse-project-do...

I think it often comes down to personal preference from a consumers view.
The second best food experience i have had was a Hilton evening buffet, the best was a Marriot a la carte dinner, by far.
The Michelin rated restaurants I felt don't come close.
But I am not a big foodie or expert, but all i know a lot of this is pretentious marketing, who's is to guarantee that the meals will be the same when the inspectors are not there?
And there are many food places who never "enroll" into such programs.

There was once a degustation event for wines where all the so-called experts went to try wines with closed eyes and they could tell apart the cheapest off the supermarket shelf bottles from the "best".

Eat what you like, not what someone else tells you is good.
> If you care you lay down industry best practices as the fundamentals

Gonna stop you right there. Ever consider industry best practices as not for everything and anything? 'The best' is very subjective.
I don't do much Go, so I can't really compare it with Rust all that well, but I think it's a plausible result.

To take two GC'd languages, I'm proficient in both Java and Scala. It usually takes me a little longer to write something in Scala, but when I'm done, I've almost certainly written fewer bugs in the Scala program than the Java program (I've also written many fewer lines of code, but that's another topic).

For me, it's the type system that helps the most. Given that Rust's type system is much stronger and expressive than Go's, I do expect to write fewer bugs in Rust than in Go. But it does feel like, if I had more experience with Go, I'd be significantly faster writing Go than Rust. (Then again, the more I write Rust, the fewer write-compile-fail-fix cycles I have to go through, and the compiler's ability to accept code as safe improves pretty frequently.)

Still, though (and I know this isn't the question at hand, but...), I personally value greater chances of correctness at compile time way more than development speed. While some types of bugs can be a fun adventure to track down and fix, most bugs I encounter are some mix of boring and annoying. I honestly would prefer to spend 2 weeks building and 2 days debugging over 1 week building and 1 week debugging. I really do find debugging that annoying. (Fuzzy numbers; I don't actually think I'd build 2x as fast in Go as Rust.)
Man, the people page is an extreme punch in the gut. I know of at least one who is dead. I can't believe it was 25 years ago. :(

I didn't say "lame" which would have been a general comment about the product.

I said "pass" which simply means it doesn't work for me, for the 3 reasons I listed:

- keyboard missing key features
Well, there is a fact that "we got pregnant" before the 9/11. As of why my wife couldn't have started a side business while pregnant - some things are, well, private.
I was at a parent's evening last night. One of the other parents had to mention that Her Daughter had, in her terms, "black-outs" during tests. A lot of the other things she mentioned hinted at her being a helicopter parent, so I'm not surprised her daughter has stress related issues with tests.

For a lot of things, you just need to chill out and trivialize things. Kids will copy their parents' emotional responses, so if you worry about exams, they will. If you worry about them being afraid of hairdressers or dentists, they will be. Self-fulfilling prophecies and self-reinforcing.
Firefox users can set "network.IDN_show_punycode" to "true" in about:config (or your user.js preferences), which will help you identify phishing attacks using lookalike domain names.

I believe Chrome users can do this as well, however it requires an extension.
So what is the value of Linux when it needs to play OS/2 Windows compatibility flag?

It did plenty of good to OS/2 native applications.

And some is still more than I could say for something compiled in Red Hat Linux (!Enterprise) or Mandrake, to put it in perspective regarding 2000.

Also would a single water molecule be wet? Or is it group of water molecules that are wet? "Water is wet" folks should clarify as it definitely doesn't seem water would always be wet.
The significance of this is greatly exaggerated imo. If anything the fact that tic tockers are following these things speaks more to the overall speculative mania that’s been going on for the past couple of years in the stock market than anything.

First, if you look at Pelosi’s husbands trades over the past few years they haven’t been in some small cap companies where he’s front running obvious price-moving news like an FDA approval or an acquisition. He’s basically been using leap call options on mega cap technology stocks that are extremely liquid and owned by pretty much anyone with a 401k. I have yet to see a single one that smacked of obvious insider knowledge that would obviously move the price higher. I’d wager that if the average person were privy to the same info they’d probably still lose money for the simple fact that even if you know the news ahead of time it is very difficult to predict short term market reactions to it.

It seems pretty obvious that this is an example of correlation where you have a member of Congress who could be privy to inside info, a massive bull market, and some leveraged exposure to it that in reality anyone could have replicated. But the inside trading angle makes for a good story so people are quick to attribute any gains to cheating, when in reality a good portion of it is probably just luck.

> no "matriarchy" nor "patriarchy" keeping the status quo. It's simply people repeating what they were taught about life to their children because "that's the way it should be".

That is the "patriarchy". It was never claimed to be a Dr Evil thing.
Which begs the questions "why not?" and "why does natural selection get to say how long we live?".
If you sell it and become homeless, yeah. Otherwise you'll be buying a $100k home for $1M, which cancels out all the profits that you made from the sale.
This is the correct response.

Any restaurant with a 20-page menu of every possible cuisine on the planet, you should stay away from.
There should be more of that, but a lot of people are afraid of telling - or hearing - certain phrases.

I do believe this is the case even more in software development and IT, because we know what we don't know, we know there's a lot of uncertainties, and we have trouble being certain about things. "When can you finish this?" "Well it depends..."
Hmm. Okay, I did some more testing tonight, and it looks like they do now have more connection modes, including one optimized for streaming, one optimized for raw speed, and one optimized for reliability.

I was able to get some higher speeds with Speedify than I could get with my naked ISP or with NordVPN, and the graphs showed that the cellular 4G connection was actually a significant bonus on top of my DSL.

So, now I guess I’m going to have to build my own Speedify router combined with OPNSense or pfSense, and get those other upstream network connections also set up.
If you repeatedly tell someone it will not hurt, they shouldn’t be scared, project your anxiety onto them, hold them tightly (restraining them), it will not relax the person. All that is sensed by the person is that something terrible, scary and painful is going to happen. Of course the child starts to cry.

My girlfriend tells me similar stories of when small children are the first time at their dentist office and their parents behave the same as described in the parent comment. The parents are even informed on how to behave but some still can’t stop projecting their fear onto the children with their words and behavior.
> Everyone would be better off if they just tried a little bit harder to be more mentally resilient.

This is "have you tried not being poor" for mental health: it's not actually actionable advice.
To offhand dismiss ML is also a cardinal sin. Control/treatment groups can show unambiguously when ML outperforms expert hand-crafted rules, pure random decisions or a simple model. The point is to measure, and not go 100% all in with one approach, but try many things and measure. I've done some process optimization with black-box methods, simple models, and SQL using domain expertise. In business you typically have budget and time constraints, so you go for the simplest and quickest solution first, show unambiguously that it works better, and then ask for more time and budget to build something more fancy. I ask myself "if this was my business, and my money, would I spend it doing this", if the answer is no, then you probably shouldn't.
I started doing lo-fi music (folk) for practical reasons when I was a teenager. I didn't have any other device to record than a cheap webcam. I started loving the sound and didn't bother to update my equipment for many years.

FBI Director: Ban Encryption to Counter Domestic Extremism
> US corporate working culture is rather different to here. Here, if you don't take 4+ weeks holiday, your manager will have a word with you for working too much. Complaining about being back at work after a holiday is expected. At the end of the day, you log off and go home, and you don't think about work again until the next morning except in exceptional cases. Everyone knows and accepts that work is work, not the point of your life. 3PM Friday drinks is still a part of the culture in many companies, as is knocking off early on a nice day and going to the pub.

This is a classic view in London's legal industry. In truth, solicitors in London work as hard as New York corporate lawyers and earn 25%-33% of the pay. Yes, they do tend to take more vacation days and don't have to pay for health insurance, but the health insurance component is made up for taxes and otherwise vacation days are about the only difference.
I wanna say people just have different tastes. I think it was an episode of NOVA that pointed the range in tastebud density is 3x meaning people with the highest density of tastebuds have 3x those of people with the lowest density. I don't know if there is any research on this but a guess would be that people with high density tastebuds prefer subtler tastes and people with low density tastebuds prefer stronger tastes.

If true (or even if for other reasons), one person might find dish A to be exquisite while another finds it repulsive.

Add to that genetics like the fact that to 15% of the population brussel sprouts taste like dish soap. Similarly, cilantro. I'm fortunate I don't have those genes so I love both.

The point is you can get huge disagreements on what's "good", possibly because of these differences in perception on top of just personal preference. One person likes strong flavored ramen (pork bone for example) and another like subtle flavored ramen (soy sauce or salt based). Note that you can't make strong soy/salt based ramen or subtle pork bone ramen but in general it's common to assume the split.

Further, there's regional and family differences. If I grew up with a dish tasting one way then I'll probably feel if it's made differently it's not "authentic" even though I really have no proof that the way I tasted it first is "correct". Example: Not a fan of NYC pizza. A huge fan of well done neapolitan style (more than 80 certified neapolitan style pizza places in Tokyo, only 3 in NYC, and Japan won the pizza competition in Naples 5 times)

I enjoy a good meal and don't mind paying but I've had lots of disappointments. Narisawa, $450 a person in Tokyo, considered one of the top 50 restaurants in the world, was not bad but was no better than another place I went a month later for $70. Some $150 a person Yakiniku place in Tokyo was also a pretty big disappointment. There was one piece of meat that was amazing but the other 80% of the meal was subpar compared to the $30 a person chain Yakiniku place my friends and I would often go to. 3 molecular gastronomy restaurants I went to (2 in SF, one in NYC) were interesting but not actually tasty. I'd never go back to any of them. Also went to the highest rated restaurant in Bangkok and its tastes also seemed off. The experience of being a nice restaurant was ok but the food was too salty. All of us, not just me, were disappointed after the hype.

One place that stuck out as worth the price for the experience was Gastrologik in Stockholm. A 3hr 17 course meal.
You're joking, right?

Italy might not be bad considering OP's requirements (lots of medium-sized towns, somewhat half-decent public transportation on average, albeit with very high variance) but Milan in particular is notoriously insanely expensive.
