There is _always_ more grunt work to be done in our field. The employer would be happy to let you churn out solutions to tickets forever, but this only serves the company, not you.
Doing Extra is acknowledging this and trying to think outside the box for the benefit of both parties.

Also, your employer probably already has someone doing good quality Extra work (to move the company forward in the long term), so it's not critical that you do Extra work. But if you find something like that rewarding you can start doing it and kudos (in several forms) should follow.

I also think Extra is very strongly dependent on your area of control. If you only have control over a very small segment, then there might not be much room for interesting Extra. But if you have control over some high-level processes, then that's where the interesting solutions can really make a difference.

Maybe because disappearing people does not exactly make you feel safe in a country? Maybe because there should be a check on the power that does such things?
A lot of this also depends on what "room-temperature" is in your environment.

My parents house has a pantry which is on the northern wall of the house and is ventilated, for most of the year the temperature in there is significantly lower than the rest of the house, butter and many cheeses do better in the pantry than the fridge. If there's a significant heatwave they need to be moved to the fridge.

By comparison, my apartment (constructed 150 years later) has an open plan with the kitchen almost in the middle of the floorplan. There's nowhere reasonable to store butter other than the fridge

I have switched from Nextcloud to Syncthing. The former was a resource hog that was eating up too much everything on my modest VPS.

I share the files on my local network at home between phone, laptop and desktop. My only issues so far:

- I need to manually start Syncthing on the devices, whereas Nextcloud was always running on boot. Not sure if I should start it every time, especially on the Android phone which cannot sync while away from home. I do not want to empty the battery while outside of my LAN, + the persistent notification "Syncthing is running" is annoying.

- I need to power up at least the laptop or desktop to backup my phone data. One solution that I will try is to install a headless Syncthing instance on my NAS. This way the phone can always sync to the NAS every time, and then laptop/desktop can sync from NAS when needed.

The joys of peer2peer! At least, I am sure that my moderately sensitive files are not leaving my local network to be stored on my VPS, which can be hacked someday.

I also need to figure out how to install Wireguard on my router to allow to access my NAS from my phone while on a trip, but that's another story.

The smugness and assuredness with which you deliver these predictions is pretty on-brand for the kinds of marks who think they're in some special club, who are "in" on what "the media"(the part that disagrees with you) doesn't want you to see. The "reality on the ground" - as told by the right wing social media grift-o-sphere. Their track record is literally on par with a broken clock being right twice a day.

Some empty shelves in some stores somewhere are not evidence that you are right about Biden's hidden communist agenda. Just like there is not about to be a walkout of major airline pilots. This particular incident just lines up with the anti-mandate media blitz in the circles you engross yourself in, and will be forgotten as soon as it doesn't pan out - just like virtually every other political bludgeon the fox news cinematic universe conjures forth.
Car & Driver was a great magazine, sometimes tough to get down under and two thirds of the cars were unobtainable here, but the level of journalism was great.

Streamers and pros use cheats. Google "streamer caught cheating" and there's page after page of news items about people cheating even in tournaments, while streaming.

They're "whitelisted" because the game benefits from streamers who look like they're great at the game, and because competition for pro players is actually fairly stiff (in part because there aren't many pro players, because it's so hard to make money at it...but also because being competitive at a game usually means dedicating your training and play time to that game.)

Aim fatigue is a problem for pro players and it usually sets in around an hour or two...so when you see a streamer playing really well hour after hour, they're almost certainly employing some level of cheating. It might be really subtle, they might only 'flip it on' when they really have to. But it's there, and at 30-60fps and stream compression it can be really hard to spot even if you're a seasoned player in the game.
Second this.

Works flawlessly, is rather cheap, and the developers encourage donations to the main SyncThing project.
A couple of questions.

* Is there an iOS app on agenda?

* Can I choose something like S3 or even Dropbox (yes!) to be a central server (more precisely a peer)?
Given that the solution provided here is actively trying to root out cheaters, I don't know how your initial "hint" statement even holds water.

The issue with any kind of wave of ban style action like you are suggesting is that the users can just create new accounts for free and continue to cheat. It greatly reduces the integrity of the overall matchmaking and game experience for everyone else.

If you think there is a better solution to ban repeat bots and cheats please provide it or at least offer a creative response to what COD is trying.

full disclosure, I don't like this solution, but having seen anti-cheat measures in a number of games, this seems to be the only one with real teeth for shooters
the synonyms increasing learning time is huge. i used scala for over a year before i understood for comprehensions were equivalent to nested flatmaps.

i also don’t like when people refer to languages as “simple.” this pdf is great it calls out the ones with less rules have more complex logic. brainfuck is simple

i think the most important part of learning to program is not the language but having a good teacher

The ”dopamine rush” is more likely to be a noradrenaline rush.
If your dozens of scripts are top-level (on the html itself) then you can fetch all of them in parallel — so you wait your connection speed roughly twice (roundtripped).

If they’re nested dependencies (where you don’t identify the next necessary js until you have the first one in hand), the dependency won’t start getting fetched until the predecessor is retrieved. So you wait your connection speed multiplied by depth (x2; roundtripped)

The goal of the bundler is to take the second scenario and turn it into the first scenario.
It also runs at less than 1mhz. That is just as interesting, frankly.

I presume that if you are learning something, you follow an instructor, a textbook or some kind of tutorial. Before learning conditions you should already know that = means attribution, not testing for equality.

I'd rather blame the quality of learning resources or student lack of attention here than the language design if someone mistakes = for equality operator.

Is the premise here I search for “ford electric car” get 3 ad for other makers, and ford in the top 1-2 search results

So I click on the Toyota ad cause it’s on top, and buy a Toyota? Which is taking business from Ford ?

What is the answer, no ads hmm that’s not happening on a free search engine.

Mark the ad as an ad hmm done

Don’t show other results for any brand related keyword search, when all keywords are blocked probably nothing left to show

What should the ideal free search engine show when I search for “intel vs AMD”, should intel complain the first result is for a tech site.

I do genuinely wonder if the conclusion that the brand company lost money is valid, I do wonder if those searches are like ppl putting cnn in a search bar or generic searches

Android 11+ enforces scoped storage, which restricts access to the filesystem in many cases.[1] Syncthing requests the "All files access" permission[2] to get around this, but the /sdcard/Android/data directory (private app data) is still off limits.[3]

Yes, that's why ES modules and import maps are a thing. For example Deno uses them, and they're the new default on Rails 7.

That's all fine and dandy, but there's not much place for the occult in any rational way left. Attempts at proving supernatural phenomena have not brought any convincing evidence. There comes a point where you have to wonder if it's more likely that there's something out there which we can't measure or observe, but which we can "feel" in some way, or that it's superstition.

Or in more practical terms: I wouldn't bet on a spell or the advice of long dead ancestors.

Will using a higher power amp with higher
power and somewhat higher quality speakers
give me more clarity of sound?

Vast simplification, but: amplifiers sound more or less equally good until pushed to their limits, at which point they distort and sound bad. A 3W amp played at low volumes won't sound any better or worse than a 3,000W amp at equally low levels.

Small differences in wattage between amplifiers can be ignored.

To sound twice as loud to the human ear, you need 10x the amplifier power. Literally. Like a lot of our sensory organs the ears function on a more or less logarithmic scale. Or, you can use more sensitive speakers.

This is for indoor use, but you can play around with the numbers here to get an idea of the difference that amplifier output and speaker sensitivity make when it comes to actual sound pressure levels: http://myhometheater.homestead.com/splcalculator.html

Perhaps even more importantly, manufacturers lie liberally about the power produced by their amplifiers. Car audio is especially bad about this. They advertise a "3,000W" amp -- but it generally only produces this power for a millisecond and it does so at ridiculously high distortion levels.

This guy tests audio amps, typically car audio amps, and can tell you their actual output: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGW-qPM8-xJE4-uSLA5BAGQ

Is there any point in installing a subwoofer on a motorcycle?

I don't have any experience with motorcycle audio whatsoever, but it takes a LOT of power and BIG speakers to produce bass in open spaces. A 12" subwoofer that is deafening in a car or living room won't sound loud in an open field. I suspect a motorcycle would be closer to the latter.

But, I guess just research what others have done with their bikes.

If no sub, then how long should frequencies on a 2 component
speaker go? I have a choice of 60-80Hz as the lower limit.

Neither is very deep. It's just hard to make bass in open spaces. The lowest string on a bass guitar with standard tuning is about 40hz, though most music is mastered to sound good on speakers that don't go that deep.

Can non-marine grade speakers be made waterproof on the output side?

That sounds impossible to me. To be waterproof you need a completely sealed enclosure and that rules out most speakers. Most non-weather proof speakers have ports (air holes) because it's the only way they can produce bass from a small size. But some sealed speakers have passive radiators instead of ports which accomplish the same thing.

Will any of this compare to my Bose QC35s?

Not even close.

Aside word from mouth, certain magazines that you'd trust (or unsubscribe otherwise), the most prominent part was: the brand name.

Before moving to Taiwan (and then China) a lot of the goods were produced quite locally and not outsourced, so it was even possible to have a most so remote relationship to the factory/engineers responsible for a product.

The brand is still a thing, yet a lot of brands are owned by the same mega corporation and effectively produced/assembled in the same outsourced factory with unknown amount of suppliers.
...because that IP address is just the public side of a NAT'ing router, likely a wifi router.

If you're logged into a VPN, that IP is much more likely to be you, since you had to authenticate to it and you're very unlikely to share the account particulars like you would your wifi password with friends/family/neighbors.
Do you think it's many steps away?

For example: Seattle is about to ban in-person dining w/o a vaccine card. An easy way to enforce that? Have the credit card processors reject payment at a dining establishment from anyone who hasn't proven vaccination status w/ Visa and MasterCard.

When there's a central gov agency with control over financial transactions I 100% guarantee every crusade of the moment is going to try to use it as leverage.

It's gonna happen. The same vendors developing vaccine passports have been bidding on CBDC contracts.
In ESBuild you’ll need a plugin for this. The plugin API is really simple but you’ll likely be gluing other tools together to achieve it.
Can't answer your question, but give advice. Get good with Amex or Chase, and buy everything with a credit card.

Anymore I don't even worry about such scammers, I just get my money back and move on.
I think it’s a fantastic default. I’d argue most server rendered applications can get away with it. And if you ever need ESBuild you can install the js-bundling gem or pass “-j esbuild” for new Rails 7 apps.

Ie basically charging a production fee without disclosing this in the channel itself. Thanks!

Every single piece of postal mail is scanned front/back. If you've signed up for the USPS's delivery notification stuff for your mailbox, that's where the scanned "previews" come from.

Yeah "simple" is one of the most abused words. Everyone agrees simple = good when it comes to programming, but what does it actually mean? Often is means "easy to understand", but what is easy to understand depend on prior knowledge.

For example plus(a, b) is simpler in the sense it doesn't special-case arithmetic and reqiore fewer language primitives, but a + b would seem simpler to most students.
