Windows 10 LTSC (the enterprise kiosk/embedded system version) has a somewhat neutered version of Defender, and lacks a lot of the bloatware, telemetry, and other objectionable content in consumer versions. Highly recommend if you're going to be deploying a Windows desktop as an appliance somewhere, might also recommend for a daily Windows driver.
Yea. That looks nice. Apparently, you can get it on linux, sort of. YMMV.

The increasingly bad news for the US is that countries are siding with China in the world. Due to strikingly different approaches to foreign policy. For example, China went into Africa and is building up their roads, factories, and infrastructure.
Now consider how the US spent decades doing drone strikes in the middle east. That doesn't build trust.

Even this year, the consequence is now that the Taliban is now actively working with China, to build a oil pipeline to Iran. So it makes sense that these countries will end up buying network/software/hardware in the future from China too. Not to mention the price advantage China is offering to developing countries on their products.

100% coverage means nothing here when i = 0.
Coverage only indicates which parts of the codebase were touched by the test suite. A big test suite size doesn't mean high coverage.

Coverage can be increased without increasing the test suite by reducing the code base size (within pratical limits obviously)

Personally, I only find coverage as a good indicator of which code still needs to be tested, like forgetting some edge cases or conditional branches.
I read it. Science is not logic in the same way that a brick building is not a brick. Your description is inconsistent. You differentiate logical theories and scientific theories as different yet you call logic the science of what's possible.

Maybe you were trying to promote understanding over correctness but I would recommend that you do both as such fuzzy wording leads to people inconsistently and incorrectly using the word "science."
Quality of trests is important, if you’re chasing 100% you’re liable to be writing inconsequential or incorrect tests just to achieve a number.

To some extent, it seemed like the 2016 results were a response by people who wanted to resist lazy categorization. Granted, it's not hard to be subtler than "deplorables", but I expect some amount of people not wanting to be strategized with.
It is a logical fallacy known as Relative Privation: https://academy4sc.org/video/fallacy-of-relative-privation-a...
Reddits un-logged-In default home page is full of violence and death, and as long as the perpetrators of violence and hate match the political (Bernie bros left), economic (upper middle class), ethnicity (lily white) and religious status (none) of reddits bubble, the violence is glorified and amplified by the magic of fellow travelers and algorithms.

This is why the violence didn’t go away with trump and will only escalate from here until ultimately it rips this country apart. Forums like this serve to dehumanize any who might disagree. It differs only from alt-right forums in size and scale.

Politicians are both the seed of this problem and using their social network to fan the flames. The current Vp said that she would not take the vaccine if President Donald Trump recommended it. Trump has refused to be vocal about vaccines despite funding and accelerating them.

The problem at the end of the day isn’t the “in” or the “out” populations. It’s the mechanism drawing us into ever greater hatred of “the other”..

In the future, maybe we will named genocides and political violence as Facebook or Reddit awards.

Lest someone think that I am being overly dramatic - it has already happened once.

Such a nice job on the visuals and interactive components! It takes a lot of work to craft a post like that.

I think it’s worth mentioning the ray marching (signed distance field) method for creating rounded boxes, because of how surprisingly simple it is - a single subtraction added to the sharp-cornered box does the trick. Even more fun, and relevant to the Apple story, it works exactly the same in 2d, and it can be used to anti-alias your 2d rounded boxes beautifully! (Useful if you want to render dynamic-radius rounded corners in real-time.)

"We went from shipping the flagship Windows app once-a-quarter at best, to monthly shipping"

Here's some professional advice: The idea that releasing more often is a good idea is total rubbish. Eric S. Raymond said it originally ("release early, release often") about open-source. People have applied it to software in general because of survivorship bias. Web devs tried it, and surprise, web dev can get away with shipping an update multiple times a day. Your users probably won't even notice.

But what if your program isn't a webapp? Updates aren't so seamless. If you update Skype 3 times a day, your users will be prompted to update Skype app 3 times a day. Do you really think that's a good idea?
>>When you say free market do you mean with insurance? or without?

Either I would like to so innovation in that space where today the government is stiffing that. For example there was a Doctor in Kansas I believe that attempted to open a Medical Coop where families would pay a monthly fee and then get access to the facility for their general medical needs.This was deemed to violate medical billing regulations so he was forced to shut it down. Then there is walmart, even a massive company like that could not navigate the regulatory burden to offer small clinics where a person could see an RN for minor medical conditions. They could not figure out how to comply with the regulations and make is profitable.

There is a reason ALOT of the medical services (Doctors offices, Networks, and Hospitals) are actually NON-profits. People believe that the "profit motive" is the reason for high costs, when in reality the delivery of medical services outside of Pharmaceuticals and devices, is already non-profit

As to insurance would also like to see a return of actual insurance. We we call "health insurance" is not really insurance. Insurance is about risk pooling to absorb known but unlikely events. Insurance that covers all medical expenses (i.e comprehensive coverage) is not insurance. My Auto Insurance does not cover oil changes, and my Home owners insurance does not cover replacing my HVAC system so why does my health insurance cover my annual checkup, and when I have a cold????

>>Most of health care costs are accumulated at the end.

That is not an example of the incentives not lining up, and we have a solution for that, a solution I would like see expanded but HSA are designed for that.
> I think I can state with near 100% certainty that the city state government is not going to respect the will of the people in this instance.

Well, sure, the Berlin government doesn't have the funds to do this, so voting that it happen isn't exactly going to move the needle. The problem here is that the voters are stuck between the two pincers of Germany's obsession that debt is evil with Germany's law abiding tendencies.

To be legal they would need to purchase the houses at market prices and in our current low IR world, those prices are high.

At ~5,000 euros per square meter[1], and say 50 sq meters the average flat size, that's 250K euros per flat. Berlin has 2 million flats. To purchase only 10% of them and hand them over to politically-connected households would cost 50 Billion Euros, and you'd still have 90% of flats in private hands. To get 50% of flats in public hands and make things more democratic would be 250 B euros. Berlin's entire budget is ~30B, and here you have Germany's fear of taking on debt working against them, but even in the US, most people would agree it's a terrible time to get into the real estate investment business.

But even if it wanted to, Berlin, being a mere city government, is not able to void things like property rights and so must pay market prices. Berlin, also being a mere city government, is not able to borrow at risk free rates like the Federal government and is wary of taking on debt. Thus this is something that requires the support and financing of the Federal government, which isn't going to happen no matter how many resolutions the people of the city of Berlin pass. Because this is not fundamentally a city-specific issue, it is a national issue, and individual cities can't really go their own way on this except in very small token gestures.

Now that's a name I haven't heard in a while. Yes, funny story, Twitter at that time was threatening to cut off our API access due to us trying to trademark "Twitpic". We had been in the process of trying to trademark our name for many years prior. Our initial application hit tons of hurdles with other Twit* marks (my fault for filing late). Fast forward about 4 years after we'd finally worked through all the issues which required us to file a whole new trademark application and this one ran afoul (pun intended) of Twitter's legal. I assume that in 2009'ish when we originally filed, Twitter either didn't care then or we weren't big enough to be a threat, but I guess that changed in 2014.

Long story long, I basically ended up giving Twitpic to Twitter (I wanted the photos to live on). We were already feeling the squeeze from their own native image feature plus some
other compounding events like Google Adsense banning us out-of-the-blue with no recourse that really affected our margins [Hey Google, you still owe us $100k+ ;)].

It was one of the best, most educating times of my life. Just thankful I had that opportunity to run Twitpic for those years, God blessed me.

The End.

>>> but I don't get a discount for going to the gym multiple times a week and adjusting my diet to keep my weight goals. I seem to be sharing a risk pool with a lot of very willingly unhealthy people.

Government prevents that, the very people that push for government run healthcare, pushed to ensure all persons pay the same rates. The only discounts allowed by law are for Smoking. Your employer can not legally discount your health plan for anything other than smoking.

There are some loops holes for "health incentives" billed as bonus'

Bankruptcy is a valid legal tool used all time by people ti get out from under crushing debt before it crushes them.

In many states your personal residence is protected and exempted from bankruptcy so it would not be wise to use your equity or get to the point of foreclosure in lieu of filing bankruptcy.

If you have large amounts of unsecured debt (i.e personal loans, credit cards, etc) then I would absolutely explore bankruptcy before becoming homeless or losing my home
Oh I see the humor in it and I too am entertained, but I think it's a strange attitude to take in a paid product. This seems like more the territory of "optional donations accepted".

Just think, if this were a larger company doing this, they would be absolutely crucified for deceiving customers by hiding critical info in tiny text or TOSes that nobody reads.

And FWIW, I haven't actually tried paying yet, but if IMGZ is handling any actual payments info, a clever TOS that says "we don't make any promises about your privacy" won't protect you from fun legal action if that info is ever breached (though I'd guess and really hope that Stavros is using some payments provider like Stripe or Paypal).
Back in 2016, somebody came up with "Hillymandias", suitably adapted to her situation. But it seems to have disappeared entirely from the internet.
You are presenting a false equivalence. Eminent domain is not expropriation. The law stipulates fair compensation, as you pointed out. In the US at least, that law is not some obscure regulation, it's the Constitution, in the 5h Amendment, and it carries enormous weight.

Maybe Germany has a similar postulate in its Constitution, maybe not. Still, it feels absurd to me that the voters feel it's ok to decide to carry a vote to expropriate some people. Maybe the article is simply misrepresenting what happened there, and maybe the "expropriation" is actually appropriation with fair compensation. But if it's simply expropriation, this is just a small step on a slippery slope.

> I did use it to roughly ballpark how many sprints it might take to deliver something, but that was as much story point math as I ever did and never used it to guarantee a date.

This is basically how we use it. Typically, if we have a multi-sprint effort, we'll guarantee delivery in the last or second to last sprint. Anything before that and we're having conversations around scope and trade-offs we need to make to hit targets.

Large objects are _mostly_ an access method, the underlying implementation is staggeringly similar to TOAST.

You might try Foreign Data Wrapping.

In which case I still wouldn't because the database is going to be spending more time in doing round trips, better my application server does that, there's usually more of them.
If IMGZ was a file sharing service it would be called FILZ or something. Obviously this is not that.
> Sealioning thus works both to exhaust a target's patience, attention, and communicative effort, and to portray the target as unreasonable.

I deeply apologize if providing a single, one-sentence answer has exhausted your patience and attention. Your dismissal is of course correct - anyone that asks the most basic clarifying questions, as I have done, is doing so maliciously. If they weren't malicious, they would simply concede that you are correct, and that would be the end of the debate.

Western countries have spent decades doing similar things in Africa, often with blank checks thru institutions such as the IMF. And of course the ROI is rarely there; but China has played the game differently. When these poor countries ultimately cannot afford to pay back the loans, they take land/ports/infrastructure, which they also built to Chinese standards (requiring Chinese products forever). They also use their own citizens as the laborers, so the total risk is far more minimized. It’s a new more modern version of colonialism except with less violence and everyone thinks it’s a good deal to begin with. They’re not doing these things out of the goodness of their heart.

A better reference to Apple's rounded corners than BGR's blogspam (linked in TFA) is straight from the source at folklore.org, from Apple early employee Andy Hertzfeld himself:

> It profoundly is. You can't store "an AST". You can only store a serialization of it. The official language grammar is a serialization of the AST custom crafted for that language. It is as much an "AST" as any other serialization would be; all such alternative representations would all produce isomorphic memory representations if parsed from a proper library.

But a code file isn't coming out of a serializer when you hit save. It has all kinds of idiosyncrasies beyond the AST it turns into, and the user expects them all to be preserved. That makes it pretty profoundly not an AST.

And often it doesn't even parse.
There's a good blog post about auto-merging JSON/XML structured data files (for game content) on the bitsquid blog from 2010:

> having content conflicts is no fun either. A level designer wants to work in the level editor, not manage strange content conflicts in barely understandable XML-files. The level designer should never have to mess with WinMerging the engine's file formats.

> And conflicts shouldn't be necessary. Most content conflicts are not actual conflicts. It is not that often that two people have moved the exact same object or changed the exact same settings parameter. Rather, the conflicts occur because a line-based merge tool tries to merge hierarchical data (XML or JSON) and messes up the structure.

> In those rare cases when there is an actual conflict, the content people don't want to resolve it in WinMerge. If two level designers have moved the same object, we don't really help them address the issue by bringing up a dialog box with a ton of XML mumbo-jumbo. Instead, it is much better to just pick one of the two locations and go ahead with merging the file. Then, the level designers can fix any problems that might have occurred in the level editor -- the right tool for the job.

100% code coverage is still not a good use of everyone's time in most projects and languages. There's a bunch of trivial code that even feels wrong to test. Spend more time cooking up edge case tests that execute some of the branches way more than once.

Think of your code like a heat map. Higher heat on lines that get exercised more often by your tests. It's fine that _some_ code has no color at all, while you some other paths to be bright red in the end, instead of always just going for a uniform orange for everyhing.

Don't plan around or rely on this prospective offer. Continue to apply for other jobs. You may end up with better offers.

If it comes through as expected, great, you can evaluate your options at that point. Until then, you should hope for the best, but plan for the worst, these things can and do get cut off at any time, nothing is final until your first day.

This is indicative of bureaucracy, not bad communication. This advice applies to any kind of business transaction / negotiation like buying a house, car, whatever, talk is good, but it doesn't mean anything and can't be relied upon until its in writing and money changes hands.

i've been a proponent of todo and task lists for years now. not one ounce of it feels like planning/prioritizing poker. i just throw a task on my list. i gauge it's priority by how pressing it is at that time. if it's super important, i'll probably make a calendar item for it as well.

do you know why i do this? cause i'm lazy. i can't be bothered to remember things or talk to people again so i do the one thing people often forget we can do: write it down. know how many times i've annoyed my lead by having to re-ask questions for a typical project? 0. cause i ask it once and write it down. it literally takes no time at all. it saves on having to do more meetings down the road because i have it all documented.
