That's not referrals and not affiliate marketing, get your definition straight.

When you hear hoofs, think horse, not Zebra. Where have you been the last decades on the internet to rather think it was a "mistake" that could have given them millions of $ instead of a shady move?

I didn't lie once, but I guess you're too worked up on the subject for some reason to see it clearly. By the way, who's using a word salad now? No matter in which order you put it, the system is there. They profit off ads by preventing everyone else do to it, even if they also are unintrusive. You can't seriously pretend to care about an ad-free internet when it's your business model...

The controversy with donations came when they shipped the feature. There was no mention at all that the creator or the website was not affiliated with Brave. Again, shady AF. The system is now way more transparent, but the facts are there. And I personally don't appreciate an op-out system where creators have to willingly deactivate the feature to not be associated with a third-party private entity collecting money in their name.
Localstack is great but I wish it wasn't needed. Engineers have become too comfortable stringing cloud services together with minimal code in a way that makes them unable to be run locally. This is also a hard problem to fix after the fact. If you make a mock of the cloud service, how do you know you captured all of the functionality? How do you know your mock won't pass all of the tests, but the real cloud server will behave differently and break production? Greenfield you can anticipate this and explicitly test all behavior locally.
Great news. Let’s make it happen. Discussions about “green” energy that don’t involve nuclear are hypocritical at best and ignorant at worst.
From the images on the site it looks like it deploys a sailing kite in addition to the solar powered engines.
I had never heard of this record until now. Cross-country flying in small planes like this can be incredibly tedious and the refueling sounds very dangerous. I can't imagine doing it for this long. Apparently, neither can the guy who did it:

> When asked by a reporter if he would ever replicate the stunt, Cook replied: “Next time I feel in the mood to fly endurance, I’m going to lock myself in a garbage can with the vacuum cleaner running, and have Bob serve me T-bone steaks chopped up in a thermos bottle. That is, until my psychiatrist opens for business in the morning.”

Sails have several major downsides, most notably they take up a lot of deck space and cause a boat to tilt to the side. If you’re regularly sailing long distances it’s much faster but top speed isn’t that big of a deal when your living on the boat full time.

Other options like kites and wind turbines can work well but they all all significant upfront costs as well as ongoing maintenance issues. Spending that same money on a bigger boat gets you much more space, and of course a generator can give you redundancy or higher top speeds.
Edit:

The line above the first I quoted:
> Despite the enormous increase in labour supply, Card found no negative effects for Miami residents with low levels of education.

Then a few lines down (my first post), it said there were negative effects for previous immigrants with low levels of education. They made the assertion, then disproved it in the same paragraph, supposedly this is a highlight of the award?

It literally says an increase in immigration negatively affects the labour market for previous immigrants/workers who speak the same language. This != no negative effect...

The previous conclusion ignores a bunch of other factors.
In the case of adult content, they aren’t doing this because they are morally against it, it’s because there is a lot of porn from human trafficking, underage or simply non consensual (like stolen personal videos or revenge porn). It should not be allowed to profit from these things, so I think it’s right that the bank imposes rules on those sites for them to be able to process credit card transactions.
Gas tanks :D
Seven principles for achieving transformational growth
There are a lot of people who would debate that point. There are even some fairly common macros that are used when this comes up. My favorite is this one:

«I find Clojure revolting.

It is the most explicit to date abandonment of the age-old Lispers' Dream, "Lisp All The Way Down." Clojure is the antithesis of the Lisp Machine. Instead of a crystalline pyramid of comprehensible mutually-interlocking concepts, behind every Clojure primitive there lurks Black Magic. The Clojure user who is missing some routine or other will run crying to Java for help, rather than implementing the feature himself correctly - that is, as a natural part of the entire language, built on the same concepts. Clojure pisses on everything I've ever loved about Lisp.

Clojure is the False Lisp, which Reeketh of the Cube Farm. A Lisp unworthy of the name; one which encourages users to pepper their code with calls to opaque routines having no underlying Lispiness. A Lisp which barfs Java stack traces. It promotes - no, mandates - the use of undigestable foreign matter in Lisp code: primitives on which you cannot pop the hood to reveal intelligible innards.

The cult of Good Enough which seems to pervade all of modern computing has finally chewed its way through to the Lisp community, with Clojure as the result. I am tired of this abomination being hailed as the future of Lisp. Aficionados of real Lisps, such as myself, will keep hoping, dreaming, and working on systems which do not betray the original virtues of the language.»
At the time (2010?), WebSQL was the only way to store more than 5MB of data on both android chrome and ios safari. (Used it slightly ridiculously for storing base64 photos when there was no data connection.)
It was quite frustrating when it got deprecated, it felt like they were killing the only way to get close to parity with native apps. I refused to use firefox for about 5 years.
I wish someone would rewrite the QNX kernel, which is tiny, in Rust. No one seems to have saved a copy of the sources before they went proprietary with the Blackberry acquisition.
Agreed, because a crap software job is like a crap apprentice job to a tradesman. The work might suck, but there's knowledge being imparted or, at least there to be sought out or absorbed.

It's the same reason a few years apprenticed to a plumber or carpenter is better than a few years in retail. At least you'll have come out the other end with something more applicable to a career, if you decide to pursue it.
> Yet you can't use a credit card to buy cannabis pretty much anywhere AFAIK.

You can in the UK. Dispensaries here do accept credit cards.
I haven chosen to work for companies where a significant amount of my development output will, in theory, be in Clojure. I do work on private projects where Clojure is less ideal, and avail myself of the breadth available to the python ecosystem for example, but when there the multitudinous shortcomings do not take long to manifest.
Colorado took the first step in that direction. If you are applying to a company that employs people in CO, you can check their CO listing.
You do? That wasn't stated in the above post. If you've also tested this, and have different results, then I guess the truth is somewhere in the middle.

> the scenarios were, with rare exceptions, completely unrelatable

Can you give some examples? What wasn't relatable, and what would make them more relatable to you? The only "word problems" I really remember are the "bob has 10 apples and gives alice 4" type, because most math problems became "word problems" as the math got more complex.
No one is drinking a cup of olive oil daily (hopefully), so why use that as an example?

What level of optimization are you getting by looking at macro nutrients and digestive absorption rates? More than 100 calories per day? I don't think it's worth the effort.

I think a big problem is that whenever dieting is brought up, people throw out the basics and try to be fancy, talking about insulin and macro nutrients and fat burning and digestive absorption rates. Why? It's unnecessary to complicate it that much and turns people away.

Then you have people starting Keto and being confused why they aren't losing weight, because they were told that ketosis is more important than keeping track of how many calories you're eating.
This is a great idea.
It should be implemented in Sublime text.

Piece rise was mostly to metallurgical coal, over the last year. However the 25% spike in natural gas prices in Europe in the last month, are now affecting thermal coal prices.
The "balance" is based on something that, while explicitly stated, you somehow disregarded: that some--and, by and large, the current legal landscape--considers the freedom of speech right of the platform to censor people, and so to obtain "anyone can say anything" we have to take away "the freedom to not say something"... which we actually already do in various instances (often involving protected classes) and so, personally, I consider that to be a tractable goal to regulate: some things are "utilities" or even "quasi-governmental entities" and should be forced to be something like a common carrier.
This exactly describes an experience I had recently. I ended up in ER thinking it was a stroke. Nobody ever mentioned migraines or auras.

> Because black was considered denigrating/slur, and white isn’t.

The argument is that "White" is necessarily a denigrating term in its primary use of absolving European bodies of emplacement/embodiment/historicity over and against virtually everyone else on Earth. That "White" is a synonym for "European" is a more tenuous and fragile link than it may appear and much intellectual labor has gone into the maintenance of this link over time; hence why the apparatus of Race is so concerned with demonstrating that "race has always existed" and hence why "White" does not appear to be a denigrating term (to certain people). The history of Irish and Italians in America and their ultimate integration is another concrete demonstration of this negotiation.
Thanks for your feedback! We are planning to add all the other popular git providers like gitlab, bitbucket etc. but we don't know exactly when. This will depend on the interest from our potential users, so if we see enough interest in Gitlab, we will do it soon :)

Clojure has a very strong software community, and find it to be near an ideal size. Tooling is in flux at the moment in the community, and so it has begun to show some of the lack of uniformity that is easy to find in larger ecosystems like python, java, and Appleland etc.
They changed the policy today. The recruiter probably didn't know.
I don’t remember anywhere near as much absolute bullshit in 2008. Nothing even as nutty as the birther thing, let alone Q.

The Obama campaign was mostly a bunch of vapid “change you can believe in” sloganeering and posters in that now iconic Obama style. I guess you could say Obama made a lot of campaign promises that were not kept, but that can be said of all of them. The ground breaking thing in 2008 was using the Internet as a major channel at all.

What happened in the lead up to Trump was much crazier.

Of course it wasn’t just all Trump. I recall seeing social media become dramatically more toxic around 2012. I’m not sure why. This was years before the Trump campaign. Maybe they just used a trend already firmly in place.
I'm reasonably certain the "de-facto" wording is used as Taiwan isn't actually recognised formally and fully as an independent country internationally. Thats not to say it shouldn't be, but it acknowledges the current truth.
One can build this pretty easily for a website that you are hosting with the existing API (https://github.com/handtracking-io/yoha/tree/master/docs).

However, you likely want this functionality on any website that you are visiting for which you probably need to build a browser extension. I haven't tried incorporating YoHa into a browser extension but if somebody were to try I'd be happy to help.
A social network that automatically prunes friends I haven't talked to in years sounds benign. Except I'm quite certain that once they get into the habit of pruning friends without asking me directly, they'll start to distance and/or prune friends for other reasons too. 'The algorithm' deciding who is or isn't a positive influence for me sounds like I'm back in 6th grade and my mother is telling me who I may or may not be friends with. Except 'the algorithm' isn't my mother and I am far less certain that it has the good intentions for me.
I live in Seattle and thus a notable percentage of my social circle works at Amazon.

The folks I know who work there were almost entirely all prepared to quit if the company forced their initial "everyone back in the office" requirement, especially in this current job market.

It feels rare to see Amazon ever make a change to such a publicly stated policy like this, I can only imagine that the groundswell of feedback from employees was quite startling in how much of a problem their retention would be with such a hard rule.

They should definitely look into welding, they will need it at some point anyways for repairs. And a stick welder is both cheap and perfect use case for welding heavy metal frames. It could even be powered off the engine to be used in the tractor.
If Rust would have just used a C-style syntax instead of this wacky quirky stuff that's needlessly hard to read, it would probably be much more widely adopted. I gave it a shot myself but I was too turned off by the friction of getting used to the syntax.
I'm surprised Tim didn't talk about squirrels or rodents eating through wires, as that's definitely taken out segments of datacenters and interconnects.

The first time I submitted an app it was rejected because something like "the screenshots must be taken from the app". The screenshots were taken from the simulator...

It took a couple more days until the app was finally published while we had thousands of users waiting for it. The company I worked for provided services to schools and its students. Our call center was on fire for a couple of days with calls from annoyed teachers and parents and there was nothing we could do about it.
HexstreamSoft probably shouldn't be there. I don't think it is a registered company
I looked through your site, and was a bit confused. How does this help you monitor technical debt specifically? This seems like traditional engineering issue tracking but I may be missing something.
This is a charming read. I genuinely did not know that the finches were not Darwin's main avenue to discovering evolution. The barnacle story really puts into perspective that his work was much more in-depth than the popular story I had understood assumes.

“Saving the company” can be fun, and you can make some good friends and learn a lot in a short time. But if the company continually needs “saving,” it’s unhealthy to stay.

Here's an account that popped up on Google.

UAE is best understood as an international haven (tax, airline passenger routing, container transboarding) operated by expats (the fearful rich from authoritarian countries, westerners administrating an EMEA operation, workers from India), and controlled by Emiratis (100% of police, judiciary, government decision-taking)

They represent only 20% of the population in their own country (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expatriates_in_the_United_Ar....)

So, it makes no sense engaging the volatile expat population in this project, and they just don't have the critical human resources to do it within their population.

They do like vanity projects, though.

For those who want a tl;dr: spread via unknown trojanized application(s), and the rootkit targets Linux 3.10 (released 2013) and 2.6 (even older). Oh, and the C2 servers have been shut down already.

Surprising, however, that apparently it took until 2020 to discover, even though it's based on an 8 year old rootkit project.
Maybe? The Scaling Hypothesis[1] suggests that greater capabilities of intelligence may emerge from scaling up 'scalable architectures' to large sizes. GPT-3 exhibits 'meta-learning' capabilities that GPT-2 did not (like learning how to sum numbers)--probably just because its a 100x larger version of GPT-2.

What percentage of adults are childless, though?
That's the point. It gives you a flimsy justification for leaving the systems and structures intact so "your guy" can use them in ways you agree with at some later date.
Apple likely to remain "surprised" for the foreseeable future.
Traditional societies had all sorts of taboos around sex, such as extreme social punishment for sex outside marriage (so society wasn't straddled with too many bastards). Why can't we develop similar taboos around having too many children?

Sure we need some children to continue, but what if the optimal number of children is 0.1 per woman?
I highly recommend http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com/ it’s an online book that has some great code examples built in.
He was accepted there ~25 years ago. And 3 or 4 years of a bachelor's degree don't mean much - hundreds of thousands of people get such degrees each year all over the world. And by and large, they are nowhere near qualified in discussing any realistic possibility of something like terraforming.

Also, money opens many doors even in the top universities in the USA, so being accepted for a PhD you don't even start is not an iron-tight guarantee of that much (if he had finished his PhD, I would not say this).
No, it is a warning sign if Lisp, VB6, Cobol or similar is used. ;)

Edit: Just to clarify, the comment was a joke but yes, devs for sure reject jobs at prominent workplaces because of tech. I myself know a highly attractive workplace that want me to join but I won't because I don't believe in their tech stack.

A battery doesn't have a static charge. When it discharges, electrons move from one side to the other, then back through the batter, and you modify which atoms have which elections. But it continues to have no static charge.

However it has less potential energy. And therefore you change mass by the mass associated with that potential energy.

Once you account for transmission, distribution, charging, and battery inefficiencies, electrics fall to the same range or below ice vehicles.

Especially using fast charging technology.

And ironically, using grid renewables decreases relative efficiency, since they require more deployed infrastructure (collection, transmission, etc) per kilowatt-hour generated, since intermittency has to be factored in, as well as the embedded cost of whatever supplies power when the sun isn't shining and wind isn't blowing, whether that be hydro, batteries, natural gas peakers, or nuclear.
Apple is doing nothing for you except for bullying, extortion, and removing your customer relationship, risking your business' health.

Desktop applications and operating systems don't have to put up with manual review and tax. (Can you imagine how horrific that world would be?) Mobile shouldn't either. They serve the same purpose.

In addition, there's one more unspoken burden Apple places on everyone: you have to write a native app for iOS. There should be a standard for devices. The differences are trivial.

I'm glad the EU, Korea, and Japan are standing up to this and launching antitrust cases.
> The stars do however need to align a lot for a non-intrusive doubly-linked list, like the one being discussed above, to be the best answer for whatever performance / algorithmic problem you are having.

That O(1) splice must also be accompanied with an iteration. Which, in my experience, is really rare. If that iteration step wasn't already a part of the splice requirement then it can often be faster to do the splice via a memcopy.

My favorite algorithmic mistake was someone at my company used a binary search to maintain sort order on a linked list. IIRC, that turns insertion into something like an O(n^(log n)) operation whereas it's O(log n) operation on an array.
No, but I do tend to believe the ones that are going against the heavily pushed story, especially if they are in support of the null hypothesis (no one was attacking American diplomats with woo woo energy weapons).
