I don't know if it's as much "obscure concept" as "failing to adapt to the new system by reimplementing your old system in it". E.g. you could technically run a container by putting everything including code in a mounted volume and set your CMD to call it. That would be awful, you get all the downsides of containers with none of the benefits, etc, but if you refuse to use the new tools 'with the grain' that's the kind of thing you end up with.

The wait times at the border service centers are lower than the west coast USCIS service centers for green cards, so I don’t think you can say that is the issue here. In addition, there’s a complex system with many centers over the US that deal with immigration and visas (and embassies in particular for the latter), which depend on what you are doing and where you are filing from.

There doesn’t seem to be any correlation there.

A show I hadn't heard of. I watched it the other week after noticing it in its prominent spot on this website, and it was pretty good! Sometimes, decent shows just don't take off on Reddit.

I like Josh Gad, so I'll check out 1600 Penn, then maybe you'll be able to say that you're one of two people who liked the show.
Wow, thank you! Awesome, that sure sounds worth a try.

> Do NOT use screen profiles or other device profiles to draw in. Use a working space profile such as any of the ‘elle’ profiles for this, as the color maths will be much more predictable and pleasant. Krita will convert between your screen and working space on the fly, allowing you to pick the correct colors. This turns your screen into binoculars to view the image.

- seems it uses its own "working space profiles", not the usual RGB or CMYK etc, and you can export/convert from those to any other format/profile/etc even in real time. Thanks again, I'm extremely grateful. Do you accept donations?! (I searched for ages the other day and only came up with Scribus.)

Since you may be serious (no downvote from me), braking is applying the brake in a car. A brake is a device for slowing a vehicle, usually via friction (though regenerative braking in EVs/hybrids is different, as it involves using the electric motors as generators instead).

The indian civilizations were extremely complex. Several philosophies written about in ancient Sanskrit. Things like the arthashastra or the vedas even. Very interesting work. Even more interesting in their distinctive 'easternness' while still essentially just being another branch of the ancient indo European philosophies (and thus somewhat closely related to the Greek and Roman)
Well, suppose your best friend told you that he did some practice for a while, and gradually got rid of what he estimated to be 99% of the suffering he'd had before. What form do you think evidence of that could take? Brain scans of some kind? They have apparently been done, and they apparently really do look odd. https://www.lionsroar.com/how-meditation-changes-your-brain-...
You are correct, but none of what you said contradicts what I said. I just said that the original comment was not a logically sound argument; I didn’t make any counter-argument of my own, nor did I even say that his conclusion was necessarily untrue.

Indeed it’s not at all clear without further study whether Instagram increases people’s happiness enough to be worth the downsides.
They're using a three.js's tube:

https://threejs.org/docs/#api/en/geometries/TubeGeometry

The texture moves, simulating movement, if I understand things correctly, with a forced bend at the end to ensure the tube is never straight. And moving the points of the tube a bit to do the mousemove fly thing.
An alternative is to admit that knowledge is social, and include a lot more data on who claims and interpretations are coming from. It should be a first class feature of such an encyclopedia that I can hover over any sentence/paragraph and immediately learn who is behind it, rather than herding cats with diffs and reference links.

"Wrong" interpretations are perfectly useful data as long as I know who is making it.
>training focuses less on product knowledge and more on high-margin service and branded payment upsells.

This to me is the death knell of brick and mortar retail. It's like this everywhere. There is absolutely no focus on actually helping a customer make a decision based on what they need/want. It's just a free mark to pitch whatever thing management is incentivizing. If I can't actually trust the intentions of a salesperson what on earth am I doing in there?

But let's be honest, even if there was a focus on product knowledge- it's almost always better to do research on the internet. You can get a much better lay of the land from many sources instead of just one person. The products will be cheaper by 10-20% on Amazon usually, and you get to read a ton of reviews. This just happened to me at Micro Center this past week. I was bored, decided to go into the store to look at KVM switches. A salesperson approaches and asks if I need help, it's clear immediately that he doesn't know anything about KVM switches and he's reading off the back of the box trying to figure out the answer when I ask him questions. I decide to buy the one I was already looking at before he approached and he put his sticker on it.

Afterwards, out of curiosity, I looked it up on Amazon. Was a full $20 cheaper. The switch ended up not even being able to support high refresh rates so I had to return it anyways.

Plus they all want you to sign up for their credit card and give them your email and zip code. It's super gross.
Nobody is talking about 1% of Instagram users dying, and furthermore, nobody ever said it’s not a big problem.

I was always afraid of being laid off and when I was in this situation always started actively interviewing and ultimately jumped the ship before I was on the chopping block. I was laid off for the first time in my career right before Covid (very unfortunate timing) and got a decent severance package which allowed me to regroup, take a breather, and retool while still having some income (I am also in my 40s and also have savings to fall back on). So if I were you I'd keep chugging along while quietly getting ready for possible layoff (go through training, certification, work on your network, etc).
The main danger is if they start actively looking for excuses to fire you (e.g., they might find issues with your performance and put you on PIP and subsequently fire you). My understanding is that companies try not to do that, word travels and potential employees might be hesitant to work there. Especially with people in protected categories (you are over 40) which is a liability. So it's more likely even if they decide to push you out they'd force you to resign to avoid paying severance.
Can confirm that aging discrimination in IT is a thing, esp. if you are still a developer. It simply means you might spend more time looking comparing to a junior guy. Good luck.

Probably a little gestalt. I'm mostly talking in the clouds, but yeah this makes a bit of sense to me.
I am on RedPocket's "essentials" plan on AT&T, and I have swapped my SIM card twice, involving three different phones, since I activated.

If you have a new phone in hand, just swap. No need to go to the store.
I suppose this will need 50 further years of development.

Edit: Or other streets...
In America we pay on average ~$3000 per day of stay in the hospital. How much extra do we have to pay to have enough nurses so that we don't work them to death?

Why British hospitals have a fraction of that cost (1/10th)? Oh yes, it is because they decided that it is not a moneymaking business.

Overworked employees should not blame themselves for not being able to keep up with unreasonable hours. They should blame the real responsible for their misery. Their employer.
AT&T customer here. The customer service interactions are abysmal.

I'm on a prepaid plan ($25/m all you can eat, but hi-speed internet taps out at 8GB... after that it's lo-speed internet).

I kept getting texts that my phone will stop working with AT&T's network in Feb next year for some reason (it won't). And that there was a free phone waiting for me at the local AT&T shop.

Cool. Why not get a free phone I thought. I went over to the store and showed the guy there the text. He said they were out of phones and gave me a number to call, and that they'd ship me a phone. (And the dude looked over my current phone and told me it would continue to work with the AT&T network after Feb).

I call that number, am put on hold. It takes 62 minutes to get through to a live human. Explain the situation to him. They send me a phone. It's a garbage phone that loses all charge in 2 days despite not being used. It's available for $40 on AT&T's website (with a prepaid plan). No biggie.

I still get those texts telling me there's a free phone waiting for me in my local AT&T shop.

----------

Another issue, on their website, when I was signing up for the prepaid plan (a year ago), I was forced to enter a "unit number" for my house... even though there is none. So I entered "Unit 0" and they accepted that.
That would be an interesting world. I wonder if humans will get to experience rings in this century.

Well, I think it's pretty easy to see differences between, say, Christianity and Buddhism. Do you know of any Christians who claim to have had some breakthrough in prayer after which they experienced no suffering? I don't. But it's normal for Buddhist meditators to report things like that, or to report that happiness flows to them automatically. Ecstatic experiences are sometimes reported in Christianity, but I and many other Buddhist meditators have ecstatic experiences every day. How many hundreds of thousands of people reporting things like this over 26 centuries does it take before it starts being considered evidence?

It sounds like what’s happening there is that whatever backend is feeding the data into the system that generates the vaccine passes is vulnerable. Obviously I don’t know for sure, but lots of US states have really old Immunisation Information Systems, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they had some gaping holes in them. I imagine Quebec has a similar system of approx the same age with gaping holes.

Edit: that obviously doesn’t reduce the severity of the PII breach issue though, or change the fact that it undermines the security of the covid passes. If anything it’s worse because you’d be able to see other stuff like childhood vaccinations.
I know that feeling. I was going to write a post about how Apple's review process made us change our how business because we couldn't afford to fight with them even when we are in the right.
> a program written 20 years ago in these languages would most likely compile today

Not without continuous attention over those 20 years.

I'm currently struggling to get a C program last touched 10 years ago to compile.
Can confirm. Left my job in the software industry with no plans to return. Everyone asks how my break is going and I say “fine”, but I’m retired at 40.

The idea of being back at work in some 9-5 or 8-6 where my brain is still trying to solve the problems of the day as I lie in bed are over. Certainly a lot of parents can sympathize with the itch of “if I can get the kids to sleep I can get a few more hours in”. No more of that. I can finally be present. I’m done competing with smart people who have no kids, and an industry that expects workaholics.
Att was destroyed as soon as they sold to cingular. I worked as a billing call center rep for Cingular when they bought them. The spent millions to rebrand everything with AT&T including signs at small ballpark fields etc. They had a bounty system where you could get paid if you found an old AT&T sign that hadn't been converted. About six months in they realized that Cingular's brand was despised by customers and that AT&T was really well liked, at least on the cell side. As someone who had to do plan conversions it was obvious that every Cingular option was a huge downgrade compared to the AT&T plans. Across the board their service was worse, their plans were worse and the customer service we were allowed to provide was worse.
Finally they decided to convert everything to AT&T to try and salvage their brand. Overall it worked for a little while I think. But ever since working for them I have never and will never be one of their customers. They were a truly awful company to work for and tied our hands when trying to help customers.
Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your hard work. Your app is excellent and has quickly become the dominant way for me to interact with Hacker News. It lets me silo my reading and has been a valuable tool in preventing Hacker News from being a distraction in my work day. In the entire time I’ve been using it I’ve only come across one bug! (On the iPhone, the UI can very very rarely lock up when transitioning from the comment view to the post list view… and I do mean very rarely, it’s so rare I don’t care, it’s still 5 stars in my book. I only mention it because the thought occurred to me that having to force quit the app might interfere with crash diagnostics giving you information about this particular bug)
Same here-- had a call with them but they don't really have much power or decision making abilities. Similar to customer service reps. Mostly script based.
"People who claim to be Moorish sovereign citizens believe they are bound mainly by maritime law, not the law of the places where they live ..."

I have not seen any actual proof that the colour ones do exist. Other than the crappy 3 colour displays.

I have only seen obscure demos or OEM store listings without much detail. From what I can tell, they are just regular LCD displays with matte surfaces to look like epaper.
> What I'm advocating for here requires that your program be compiled into a native executable binary file, and it must embed all its library dependencies (aka static linking).

By far the bulk of pure mathematical results in the last 100 years have no demonstrated real world function. They are logically sound--and utterly divorced from reality.

And any useful innovations tend to come about from dialectical reasoning, because classical logic is incapable of genuine ontological generation.

For example, infinitesimal calculus was not "embedded" somewhere in the existing mathematics, waiting to be logically deduced by an expert logician; Newton developed new methods of mathematically modeling unquantifiable quantities to address contradictions in the application of traditional mathematics to physical systems.
That still prompts for every file in that list. Which can be skipped with the -y flag, but that's not enough either.

What i want is one tab per changed file in my difftool of choice so i can toggle between them with just one click, not having to open-close-open-close all the time.
I once visited the opening of a new library, and found myself getting outraged when I looked around at the desks and sitting areas and places where one was supposed to be able to sit down and read a book ---- they were all totally exposed to visibility by everyone else in the entire room in such a way that I knew I could never be comfortable reading a book in this library. And that made me very angry. Yet the fault is somehow mine, as this FISHBOWL architecture is cool and all the rage. Guess I have to take the book home if I want to read it without being WATCHED.
Are you sure I misinterpreted? Your restated position sounds the same as what I heard above, the message seems the same, and my reaction is the same: that maybe you don’t really know any history and don’t understand how recently women were not allowed to participate in politics. What makes you think there could a different reason, when there are women still alive today who weren’t allowed to vote, let alone seek office in their lifetimes? The only reason to suggest there’s a different reason is to try to downplay bias, to resist acknowledging the truth that society did hold women back, and that we haven’t yet recovered from that. You’re suggesting an unspecified alternative to what we already know is the reason, because it was documented.

The number of women in politics is increasing today, right now. (The article is only one of many examples.) The number has gone up multiples during your lifetime. So it’s very clear that you can’t claim the numbers are the way they are because of some “different reason”. The number of women interested in politics (and business, and medicine, and engineering…) are still growing and responding to the recent decision to stop discriminating. We can’t make conclusions about any other reasons until the distribution of women in politics settles, for a long time, and in many countries. Right now, that’s not the case, right now more and more women are seeking political careers.
10% is still pretty large. I think its somewhere around 1% to 4% of the genetically blessed. Also depends on how traditional your 'primary female one' is.
Yes the cost of the jo is not what people seem to conventionally think and teach. I don’t have an explanation yet. Maybe the scheduling is much better without it as it’s trying to run the overflow checks as fixed control flow otherwise?

I was also expecting to be writing about how removing overflow checks enables multiple arithmetic operations to be selected into single LEA instructions using addressing modes, as that’s the other common wisdom, but I couldn’t get the instruction selector to do that. Don’t know why yet either.

And the injection isn’t the proof - the mask was the proof. The injection is to see if we can do it without the actual mask instruction if we cared about that. You’re right it’s unsafe - I have an example of the failure mode of abusing it in the article. Turns out we didn’t need it in this case anyway as it’s the same performance.
The third point about 2 alphas is a big one. Will save you a lot of heartbreak and headache in the future.

Quite. As soon as the big companies started switching to WFH and employees left for places with lower COL, said businesses began lowering waged based on physical location.

This immediately proved the wages were artificially inflated, and were the effect of SV madness.

With location being of less importance, the need to hire only the best seemes to have waned (not really it was always a bs rhetoric).

I've said repeatedly that programming is to this bubble what web designers were to the last.

They’re non-nominal - you can’t name them in the language being compiled. They work at a finer level than the nominal system the programmer has access to.

(I’m not a type theorist though.)
Mindfulness isn't "thinking about chopping onions while chopping onions." Mindfulness is chopping onions.

The confusion is that "developing" mindfulness means recognizing when, while chopping onions, you're instead thinking about work, or that embarrassing moment from years ago.

There are meditation practices, like "noting", that have you think or say what you're doing while you're doing it. But this is an exercise to train mindfulness, not mindfulness itself.
A simple range is one application you could use stamps for, but they can also represent that individual bits may or may not be set, or could even represent that individual bits are set with a given probability, which could inform scheduling decisions.

Looking back at XHTML I am reminded again and again that the best technical solution often loses out.

Instead we have HTML5 which contains nothing that couldn't have been easily expressed in XHTML but have none of it's strictness that would have enabled much simpler and better browser implementations.

The arguments against XHTML amounted to "but wahh it should still work even if the syntax is wrong". Thing is none of the major proponents of XHTML were advocating for exterminating the existing doctypes and their associated quirks modes. People could continue to use that but XHTML would be there, ready for the advent of non-shit programming to hit the web.

People are starting to come around the ideas of strictness in programming languages again with Typescript and co rapidly gaining in popularity. It's just such a massive shame the entire Web community forced this massive wheel-reinventing cycle on us for no damn reason, completely ignoring the lessons learnt -literally everywhere- else.
