Not sure why you would slap me for species characteristics that are out of anyone's control, or life circumstances I played no part in. I know(/hope) you're probably just being light-hearted, but as I said in my comment, I don't support the common approach of pretending late pregnancies are without risk or talking about biological truths around pregnancy constraints helps anyone. No harm done, but again, not everyone has equal access to education around reproductive health and I would rather openly share inconvenient truths in the hopes that somebody out there can learn something about reproductive health.

As to the rest of your question, if you found my stats helpful, then you're welcome. I hope you didn't take it as an attack as, frankly, my comment wasn't even directed at you (another reason I found your response off-putting). It is unfair, but one thing I've tried to do is just keep looking forward and making the most of my time rather than looking back. As a software engineer who grew up poor and can now afford to pursue hobbies like extreme sports, it's too late for me spend my summer breaks in grade school snowboarding or mountain biking. But I focus on the fact that at least I can do it now, whereas many people may never be able to have the luxury. We can't change the past, but we can change the outlook we have on life.
Hi everyone,
I am Anil and I am the technical co-founder of Vadootv.

I had fun building this tool keeping in mind the security features. Online downloaders like IDM made it difficult for any course creator protect their content and hence we worked on video encryption to prevent download of content.

The video code can be copied and hosted on a piracy site and to prevent this we added domain security

The videos have to shown only to the students and not everyone, so we have added password protection

Do reach out to me if you want to discuss more on this
I think the OP is referring to the (technically self-contradictory) statement that IBM (and others) used to add to such pages -- "This page is intentionally left blank". Odd that it isn't used here given it is an IBM product.
Do you have more background on this? What's the best way to approach a feeling like this, in your experience.
Moreover, we’re not talking about the Russian people, we’re talking about Russia, the dictatorship. The US isn’t assassinating dissidents in EU countries, after all. It’s also not installing dictators in your neighboring countries.
If there were a way to produce bounded context boundaries by following a general pattern / algorithm, what would that be? I fail to see how they can be created usefully without lot's of conversations with domain experts plus elbow grease. It's the part of software that remains entirely art and not science.

Why is that a bad thing?

I wish they would build compression directly into SQLite.
I use SQLite as a log store mostly dumping JSON data in it.
Due to the lack of compression the DB is probably 10 times the size it could be.
It's absolutely fair that this type of data is better off coming from a third party, peer reviewed, and with a larger sample size. However, the slides here were never intended as any sort of definitive review, or especially not for PR consumption, they're kind of like an internal memo looked over by a few internal teams. So their data is not cherry picked - it shows the good and the bad uncovered about Instagram's effects, intended for internal discussion. Where I feel WSJ was dishonest is that it did not show all of the data uncovered in these slides, but only the most negative points, in order to get clicks and provide a nice loud framing for their article.

Any large scale phenomenon like Instagram or Reddit or pizza or video games has both upsides and downsides. So I don't think it's fair that just because we've uncovered links to heart disease for pizza or depression/anxiety/social withdrawal/suicide to excessive video gaming or suicide to Instagram, that we should ban any of these things. They all have extremely positive effects as well. I love pizza. If we only harp on negative aspects of every large scale phenomenon we're going to think everything is terrible, ban everything, then live in a box.

That is the sensationalist vibe which WSJ intentionally curated for their article by intentionally hiding any positive information found in Facebook's memos and selectively exposing only the bits which make people go "WOW NO" and make for nice clickbait. If they had included both positive and negative results contained in Facebook's slides, then I don't believe there would be a problem. I personally did not expect this kind of spin from WSJ and am disappointed.
OMG, until like what Netscape IPO almost no programmers wanted or expected to get rich. It was about a job where they paid you to solve problems so interesting you would have contrived to work on them for free.

And even now, I don’t understand why the response to “company will overwork me” is act with bad faith. Just take care of yourself, stop working before the long term costs to yourself your family and your life get too high. That P1 will still be there later. If you have worked for more than two years and not recognized them saying this is crucial is just how they talk, you aren’t as clever as you think. The job market for “can make computer programs” essentially guarantees you cannot be exploited without your consent. Just find you limits and protect them. It will work out. But you don’t need to not offer helpful advice or sketch out solutions for people. That sounds like you are burning down the fun parts of the job to avoid overwork. But the easier way to avoid overwork is to work less.
> nuclear is the only clean base load generation we have.

I'm assuming from your phrasing that you're using nuclear to refer exclusively to nuclear fission.

Are you really suggesting that it's 'clean' in the sense of no greenhouse gas emissions, or radioactive (negative health impacts) from the acquisition of the necessary fuel, the building of fission power stations, or the operations of same?
I'm armchair at best, but I think scrum is a management and organizational process, something to help communicate upwards instead of something that is best for a team. That said, some companies and teams need the structure. They compare with Whatsapp, which seems to me like a small, dedicated, driven team with ownership and complete control over their own application. In my experience with Scrum, it was a product owner and management layer operating outside of the team, sending work downwards to the scrum teams while the scrum teams communicated progress and the like upwards. Less ownership, more oversight, etc. The scrum teams were implementation teams, there to do what they are told to do instead of owning a product. Cogs in a wheel, whose individual components (and the whole cog) could be replaced, shifted around and moved without the layer above really needing to worry about it.

I did not know, thank you. And what are the issues that make such technology not apt to see our landscape constellated with mini nuclear power plants?
That's not how lines of code work - more lines can be more clear and easier to write. There are extremely concise mathematical proofs that require extreme amount of time to produce, whereas a more verbose proof takes a simpler approach but one that involves less thinking.

Same with programs.
Thanks, I found your fork here:

> Reminder that the eggs-cholesterol danger was fabricated by LBJ to hide inflating egg prices in 1966

Under cholesterol theory until recently you simply could not eat 'eggs'. If you ate two eggs for breakfast it'd be lettuce for the rest of the week.

By fabricated you mean tell the truth of the time about the deadliness of eating eggs, then I guess. If the scientists had not lied his plan would have saved millions of lives.

I think it's more interesting he took scientific advice and told it to the public and that fucked them. Politicians should not give scientists a voice I think is the real lesson here.

Author of the Lite XL fork here. The reason why I started a fork of Lite is that
rxi, the author of the original project, refused to merge my proposition to
improve the font rendering. He didn't want to bring too much complexity to the
project.

In more general terms the author or Lite, rxi, values a lot simplicity in term
of coding implementation even when some things are unfriendly or annoying for
the user. So my decision was to fork Lite to create an alternative project that
has a different compromise between simplicity and user friendliness.

Now Lite XL has a small but awesome group of contributors to the project. We
still value simplicity and we are trying to keep a good balance between features
and complexity of the implementation but our main goal for the editor is to be
friendly and useful as a general purpose coding editor.

I have a very high opinion of rxi. To me the original project, Lite, is a constant
source of inspiration. Even if we have made a fork of its project we highly
value the principles and software practices established by rxi.
Amazing. One of their brands' websites, Black Saddle Whisky, even says "handcrafted here in the US by Master Craftsmen" [1]. I'm surprised that is legal.

You're right in that the 1:1 video chats are E2EE, but not group video chats. This is my concern, but since you weren't making the claim, it's my mistake and now fixed.

It's not my intention to be aggressive towards you or anyone else. It's the argument (or lack of arguments) I'm attacking, not the person.

> In my jurisdiction none of this is illegal, and using Plex to manage that media makes managing that media-collection so much better. Why everyone assumes Plex can only be used for pirated contents beats me.

This is a great point, and part of what I feel has been the core of the issue with Plex. Back when it started, they argued publicly that serving your own purchased content for personal use was morally (and should be legally) right. Yes, there were always people who shared things illegally using Plex (and sometimes on a large scale), but Plex themselves continued to work with the goal of letting people consume their own format-shifted content. Absolutely people still do it, but it's clear that Plex is no longer working for those people or working with that ability as a goal.
- You can actually find things again. I personally have so many recordings that are all named after my home address, and it's almost impossible to find anything older than a week.

- You can take notes, both text and photo notes. For example, you can just take a picture of your amp settings to remember them. Many musicians already do that with their camera, but now you can keep it together with your recording

- Much, MUCH better handling of long recording sessions with the Time Paragraph (see website for screenshots). Voice Memos becomes practically unusable once your recording is longer than three minutes.

- Small things like when you play a recording, it will automatically play the next one after it - like Apple Music or Spotify. It is super handy when you just want to review past ideas. We know a lot of musicians who use Box instead of Dropbox for storing their recordings simply because Box will always play the whole folder, whereas Dropbox just plays a single file.

- And of course, much better recording quality by using two microphones on your iPhone instead of one - although that is actually our premium feature. Everything else I listed you get for free :-).

If you're using Voice Memos to record music today, I recommend you give the app a try. And please let me know your thoughts here once you tried it!
I’ve worked now at Facebook, tiktok, and snap. None of my teams used tickets so there are no points to track. Most of the time my tasks were just discussed with my team and main way you could track is by prs. How many points a task is worth is something I’ve only had to do for 1 job at a startup where we did follow scrum. I do occasionally give estimates but they also aren’t really tracked as they’re frequently not written down anywhere and just something I tell my teammates.
and also everyone

it is only happenstance that online purchases require name and address, as this is required to process over credit card networks at lower transaction fees (due to slightly lessened ability for payment fraud - which could be reversed - from the payment processor's perspective). As crypto currencies do not have reversal without nearly complete network consensus, such information is not applicable.
One thing I've noticed with Scrum and SAFe are that all negative experiences are not _true_ scrum/safe. It seems entirely natural that processes will shift as team composition changes or the rules chafe. Once there's been drift from the canonical process there doesn't seem any way out of that except doubling down, possibly by buying more training.
Because kids are sometimes capable of getting themselves in more trouble than they realize, and this can have long-term consequences beyond childhood.
WASM in Golang Is Fantastic

I work in a "traditional company" and the gatekeepers were installed to keep developers from going insane. When we have too much information back and forth between business and engineering, the loudest complaints from the business side (where the $$$ comes from today and tomorrow) drowns out the team's and department's internal goals, which are usually much longer term (meaning the $$$ is in months or years, not next week).

I believe this is why the author noticed that certain types of companies had engineers say the product owner was one of the reasons they're more satisfied. From when I started at my role, my team went about 2 years without one, and then within months of having one, we have been much more productive and have managed to create much more immediate and future value for the company.

Why so? Delegation is a valuable skill, especially for those seeking a position in leadership.

It does matter how it's conveyed though - it can be interpreted as "not my problem" in certain cultures where people wear too many hats.

One of my workplaces has its engineers overwhelmed with too many responsibilities, like expecting front-end engineers to be wearing the DevOps hat any time a fire comes up related to their own staging environment.

I have found it's a matter of finding comfort in being assertive (and well aware) of the best and worst skills I have to offer in a realistic sense. If I'm particularly weak at a skill and I have little time to build it or refer to deep heady documentation, I ask a colleague who is capable to join me in looking, and they often find the problem within a few minutes, resulting in far less time wasted for all.

Instagram says they'll be consulting with "parents, experts and policymakers" but this leaves out a very important part of the 'safe apps for kids' ecosystem - the children themselves.

They are using apps and online social spaces in ways that adults can't imagine or comprehend. They're dealing with self-esteem issues, bullying, predators, extreme content and targeted advertising & algorithmic content to keep them engaged. Kids aren't dumb. They're certainly as - or more - susceptible to the negative effects of social media as the rest of us but they shouldn't be ignored here or relegated to a class to be protected because of some kind of diminished capacity. Instead, IG and the experts should be working with them, including their ideas and feedback.

Similar to the iOS feature that can scan the messages of people under 18 on a family account for nudes, features like will get LGBTQ kids who don't have supportive homes in trouble for exploring their sexuality & identity. It will get kids who are looking for support in abusive situations via actually helpful posts in trouble when their adults see what they've been looking at.

I remember what kind of issues I had at home before I learned how to clear my web browser history in the 90s - I can only imagine how much worse this could be in terms of surveillance of kids.
They used natural gas as a political lever with Ukraine on a constant basis. The same would be the case with Belarussia if they weren't forcefully aligned as political allies (an attempt at which is one of the main reasons of the Ukrainian invasion).

Interviewer: You say these are diverse coronaviruses and you can’t vaccinate against them, and no anti-virals — so what do we do?

Daszak: Well I think…coronaviruses — you can manipulate them in the lab pretty easily. Spike protein drives a lot of what happen with coronavirus, in zoonotic risk. So you can get the sequence, you can build the protein, and we work a lot with Ralph Baric at UNC to do this. Insert into the backbone of another virus and do some work in the lab. So you can get more predictive when you find a sequence. You’ve got this diversity. Now the logical progression for vaccines is, if you are going to develop a vaccine for SARS, people are going to use pandemic SARS, but let’s insert some of these other things and get a better vaccine.

Thank you! Why are you using a separate folding plugin, doesn't vim-markdown provide folding? Does it fold better?
For an honest assessment, difficulty of implementation—and, accordingly, lack of diversity in implementations—should be be listed in the "Disadvantages" section.

(It's interesting that applications against censorship are brought up. Difficulty of implementation has consequences here, too. In order to effectively use SQLite as an archive format, the receiving end will need the SQLite software. By comparison, it's pretty trivial to craft a polyglot file that is both plain text and HTML and is self-extracting and assumes no software on the other end except to rely on the ubiquity of commodity web browsers. Always bet on text.)

a lot of scientific books are like that, for example the art of computer programming.
“ Motherboard has learned that every FSD Beta tester signs a non-disclosure agreement in order to be a member of the Early Access Program (EAP), a community of Tesla aficionados the company selects. This NDA, the language of which Motherboard confirmed with multiple beta testers, specifically prohibits EAP members from speaking to the media or giving test rides to the media. It also says: "Do remember that there are a lot of people that want Tesla to fail; Don't let them mischaracterize your feedback and media posts." It also encourages EAP members to "share on social media responsibly and selectively...consider sharing fewer videos, and only the ones that you think are interesting or worthy of being shared.”
You could probably pass the data through a gzip filter before storage if you don't need the data to be indexable while in the database. I know, that's an extra step, but in most programming languages it's fairly straightforward.

And to be honest, if you need to search through or index JSON blobs in a database you need to reconsider your design.
Same problem as with all other diseases and predispositions we know of today.
Except they are proving difficult to keep in check. January 6th was pivotal because 1. It's very lucky it didn't go in the other direction, 2. People watching learned a few lessons for the next time.
They needed 3 billion tonnes, of which 2.7 billion was produced locally. 300m was imported, 30m of which was from Australia. Per the article, their coal needs are going to increase by 10% year-by-year. They're investing in other mines and expanding production, but that's going to take 2-3 years. In the meantime, they're facing an acute shortage, partly due to banning Australian coal.
It is interesting to read some of these comments as an indication of what people actually hoped for, and then compare it to the reality of what they actually got.
My only disagreement is that you imply that this is no better than plain old JSON – I think it's positively _worse_. It makes it difficult to remember which of the two quote marks to escape, without checking the beginning of the string to see what quote marks were there (and this difficulty exists not only for humans but for machines, which introduces more complexity in parsers).

The benefit of JSON is that it's simple, opinionated, and pretty. Putting bells and whistles on it ruins the very ethos of JSON. If you want JSON++, use XML or Jsonnet or whatever.
Never said iMessage was my choice or it's safe so you are arguing with yourself here. I said that I transfered one of my group chats there. Wasn't really my choice but a group choice. Your comment and knowledge is very impressive but not a single of this helps me convince my family or friends to transfer to yet another chat application. Not so long ago I've read all over HN that I shouldn't use Telegram, because it's Russian. Now people recommend it all the time. What changed? And if iMessage has so many problems, which app does not have them? I can answer for you: none. Messenger & iMessage FTW and we can't really do anything about it.
>However, the part that is not really discussed on these books is that we should be vigilant not to "over-abstract".

To be fair, I've never really seen any process/paradigm address this. I've mostly done it based upon gut feel - sometimes abstractions seem like too much of an imposition. Other times it feels critical.

DDD just says "do way too much. all the time".

I imagine one day there will be an abstraction calculus but software engineering aint there yet.
