1 GiB? That's nothing. I just finished reformatting 280 GiB of Google Takeout data from .tgz format into a 130 GiB SquashFS filesystem (both for space reasons and to allow efficient random access). It would have been nice to be able to do that on the server without downloading 150 GB of extra data first, plus another 30+ GiB because one of the downloads failed partway through and couldn't be resumed due to the download URLs having very short expiration times relative to the file sizes. Apparently 180 GiB of data transfer and 150 GiB of storage doesn't register as worthy of optimization for Google, but it's quite a bit for your typical home user.
What's funny is when the system explicitly requires "Write your name exactly as in the passport" and then fails validation by requiring only unaccented latin letters only, so it's impossible to fulfill both conditions at the same time.

That's not true, the money isn't just lost. The money is passed to the children of the person who extracts the money from the sick people. It's by design.
Companies no longer getting away with misspelling customer names has absolutely been something that has been discussed before this case. (and at the same time, this doesn't mean every contrived example of a name and where a name might appear actually has to support everything)

CL stands for change list.

It's the unit of change that goes through code review (so for the context of that document I think the best translation to the git world is PR).

Though it's not exactly a PR, a CL is also a single change in the change history (so you could also say that a CL is equivalent to a commit)

I wish for something just slightly smarter than the current ignore revs format. For instance, I generally try to prefix all automated tool based commits with a wrench emoji. I realize you can automate building an ignore revs file by for instance grepping git log for that prefix, but it would be nice for an "ignore prefixes" as much as an "ignore revs" option.
Signed integers are symmetrical on architectures like the Sperry Univac 1100/2200 and derivatives (still available from Unisys, I believe) which use ones complement, and therefore have both positive and negative zero.
"Strategy-proof" is a really strange thing to strive for. Making dishonest strategic voting "really really hard" is more than good enough.

By way of example, exploiting a strategic voting vulnerability in certain ranked ballot elections can require both near-perfect information about how everyone else is voting and then solving an NP-hard math problem.

Saying that such an exploit is theoretically possible and then to start talking about dictatorships as being immune is like saying there's a risk someone will win the lottery unless we ban earning money.
They just probably got turned off by how senior the guy was and assumed he/she would be unable to be wrangled. It’s a bad judgement call, because usually you gain many years of experience at various companies because of exactly that, your ability to state your view, yet still compromise with leadership. Yet, in the interview they judge it as ‘this person won’t listen if I need them to’. They will, that’s how they made it that far. In fact, they are speaking to you this way because they’ve been trusted to speak this way in the past, and you are interviewing them because they’ve been trusted to also do the job in the past.

> post-processing is more common with digital for the serious amateurs and professionals

Yes... and kind of no? Many professionals can only make a living by being very efficient, so it's a combination of planning the shoot and getting each picture right before pressing the shutter button, and batch applying one-click standard presets that they have developed.

So post-processing, but of a kind similar to film and paper selection in the film days, where you would choose a particular film and/or paper brand for your images.

The amateurs I've seen fall into two camps. One spends a long time in post. (This seems to go with obsessing about gear.) The other group would rather be out there taking photos and tries to mininise post-processing effort like the pros do. They'd rather spend 40 hours learning how to light their subject than 40 hours in their software.

For competition or gallery photos, of course, yes. Sometimes many hours or days on a single image.

I've kind of indirect experience: my girlfriend is an iOS developer, and has been using it on her only Mac for a while.

I'm updating it, and if I were you, I'd update right away too. There are many improvements.
Indeed... the whole "trick question" school of interviewing is basically an admission that this industry has absolutely no idea how to reliably rate job candidates (I'm not claiming that I have a magic solution myself, note...).

Doctors don't, in general, get asked trick/gotcha questions when they apply for jobs. Neither do lawyers. Neither do other kinds of engineers. Neither do musicians, for that matter.

From long-ago undergrad I remember that there is a data structure called a "red-black tree". Now, I've never had that as an interview question, but I could easily imagine it being one.

Would I be able to answer a cold question on red-black trees? Nope. As I said, that was a long time ago, and I've never had to use one to the best of my knowledge. Would that be a good reason to filter me out? Nope. If I needed to use a red-black tree (or, in general, had a problem where some unusual type of tree might be in order), I'd pull my copies of Knuth, CLR* and Sedgewick off the shelf, look at strengths and weaknesses of the different types of tree, and make a decision.

Unvaccinated Victorians to be banned from normal life “until at least 2023”
"Unvaccinated Victorians to be banned from venues including bookshops, pubs and football matches until at least 2023, while similar restrictions in NSW lift in December"

This is assuming that these rules won't eventually extend to all of Australia and that the fascists hungry for more power won't extend them permanently to create a two-tier society where one side is deemed the enemy of the public health and the other side has to do whatever their overlords say or risk being removed from society via increasingly invasive protocols. This is tyranny. It is my sincere hope that the people on this forum have not been completely primed by some media's attempts to divide everyone along vaccinated or unvaccinated lines. It's a distraction and a way for the powerful to consolidate power.

What hubris and vile intention, then, to formulate this "reopening" the way Daniel Andrews did:

“That means we have to open the place up and we have to have a series of rules, we have to have settings, that are the lightest touch possible, the simplest, the most easily understood, that are as close to normal life as possible.

“That is what we committed to and that is what we are going to deliver.”

Bull fucking shit. Lightest touch possible? Simplest, most easily understood rules? A series of rules? This clown wants a two-tier society and more and more rules. Does anyone truly believe this trash he is saying, or that he is well-intentioned and honest? Do you really think these rules will ever go away as long as Daniel Andrews and his entire cohort are still in office and exercising their new-found powers of barking out orders and dividing the people?

I hear a more naive fellow from the audience saying - "Don't worry everyone! He said it'll be as close to normal life as possible!!" But we know and see that meanwhile, inch by inch, Daniel Andrews and his colleagues take more of your freedom. They will try to rely on young inexperienced people who lack a long enough memory to understand the risks of what's happening, bribing them into silence with a drink at the pub or a football game. They will try to mobilize the uninformed youth against those with experience and insight.

These people are charlatans. Say no, vote against them. Call and talk to your local elected officials and organize, if you still want to have a normal life in Australia. Don't believe their phony polling numbers about how many people supposedly support these actions. If the support was that absolute, media wouldn't need to be blatantly ignoring the increasing protests or the vile exercise of power that the Australian authorities have attempted over the last year. Look through my comment history for examples if you'd like.

You don't hear about the failures because most people just buy them and throw them away. I would venture to guess that about 60% of their customers are one-time buyers that try to power it on once and throw it away because it doesn't work. The other 40% either won the lottery or put up with its constant stream of shit because they have a near monopoly. The same is true for 3d printers.

This swift reversal is consistent with Microsoft's past actions and attitudes? I don't feel that's the case.

These days we seem to be unprecedented access to the internal workings of companies; from exactly which execs are making decisions to the opinions of individual managers and developers. It used to be that you'd have to talk about Microsoft as a monolith because this level of information wasn't available.

But I don't think saying "this is just Microsoft being Microsoft" is a very useful or interesting comment. If anything, this is just the start of defining what Microsoft will be in the future. We haven't really seen the conclusion yet and it's definitely not assured that things are going regress to the 90s.

Correcting incorrect data sure, that's part of what the law grants you. But I believe this case is novel in that the data is as correct as possible (for intents and purpose of banking) yet the courts are requiring a cosmetic adjustment to the data. Cosmetic as in: it does not change the bank's or customer's understanding of the contract and business organization (i.e. I'm not trying to downplay ones attachment to accented letters, I'm talking about correct identification for business purposes).

> and at the same time, this doesn't mean every contrived example of a name and where a name might appear actually has to support everything)

Why not? What language in the GDPR would prevent that? It's the same violation as this case: the name is not displaying how the data subject wants it.

Wealth Tax is usually understood to be the tax imposed on wealth transfer, for example when a wealthy person dies and the estate passes on to his heirs

Agree to disagree. What you’ve described is an Estate Tax or Gift Tax, which are not the same thing as a Wealth Tax.

A Wealth Tax is usually defined as a tax on the net wealth a person holds; transfers are not necessary. This is how both Wikipedia and Investopedia define it.
Samoa skipped a Friday in December 2011 [1]. There were 4 Fridays left so "4 or 5" still holds, but using arithmetic to calculate the number of Fridays would have yielded a wrong answer.

This is pretty uncommon with whole days so maybe less important, but thinking in this way (how can I optimize this annoying code) often leads to wrong arithmetic around hours (daylight savings and time zone changes) or seconds (leap seconds).

> When asked do masks stop the spread of covid, the answer is and has always been no.

No, the answer is to reject the question, and to redirect it instead to the proper scientific question, which is what fraction of incoming germs a mask will stop. That fraction is practically indistinguishable from 100% for an N95 mask properly sealed, is in the mid to high 90s for medical grade masks or masks of multiple layers of cloth properly sealed, and drops off sharply as the weave of the cloth loosens or the quality of the seal decreases.

The problem is that so-called "scientists" refuse to do this. They make authoritative pronouncements instead, which of course are often wrong. Saying "no" to the question "do masks stop the spread of COVID" is just as wrong as saying "yes". But so-called "scientists" are too lazy or too caught up in their own sense of authority to properly reframe the question. So if the public then distrusts them because they make false authoritative pronouncements, they have nobody to blame but themselves.

> No amount of ifs and buts will convince the common man if they don't want to be convinced.

Most people are not extremists or crackpots. They are quite capable of understanding a response such as I gave above. And they are also quite capable of seeing when a person is not being forthright with them because that person is more concerned with maintaining their position as an authority then with telling the truth and being honest about what we actually do and do not know. So even if some of the things so-called "scientists" say are actually true, the public is right to not believe them, because once someone has shown that they will prevaricate with you, you cannot afford to take anything they say at face value. And that is precisely the position that our current public health authorities, not to mention scientists in many other fields, have gotten themselves into. As I said above, they have nobody to blame but themselves.

Seems like it should be possible to color the margin based on the hash to get exactly this rather than a poor approximation, but looking over the blame code you'd need to do it by hacking the overlay after application, it would be nicer if it supported something like `:eval` in the format a la `mode-line-format`.
This "model" assumes that the probabilities of "fix the rot" and "find new nest" are independent. I'm not entirely sure of the relationship, but I'm very sure they are not independent.

Also, the assumption "we go extinct" is pretty strong, and IMO, unwarranted.
I thought I was the only one who felt this way. Almost every day I see the same "style" of articles that isn't news or that interesting.
