Exactly. The kind of stuff thrown around in this thread borders on the unbelievable or we have a couple of pro riders here that I wasn't previously aware of. I think I know a couple of really strong cyclists (notably, my brother but also others) and in spite of my injury I'm no slouch and am rarely overtaken on a regular racer but if I'm to believe this thread then I really should be checking my bike if something is dragging or not ;)
Exactly, most programs require specific compartmented information and additional read in. I've only ever seen people with vanilla clearances working operational positions to manage facilities, etc.

I think it’s fair to say that there are offensive cyber intelligence operations that are never detected or made public. It’s more than likely there are other foreign intelligence agencies that have breached similar databases at other agencies. It’s also likely that allied agencies share intelligence between themselves, and also suffer hacks. I would reason that any nation vying for superpower status has a good amount of data on the majority of folks who touch national security in every country.
Yes, if you try to think about the problem logically you're always going to come to one of those sobering conclusions--"we must treat someone differently because of the color of their skin and factors outside of their control". If I was a marginalized group I would be pissed off that you're patronizing me and you don't think I'm capable of meeting your standards. It's the complete opposite of what we've been fighting for for the last 50 years.
I don't think the US home computer market followed the same path as Germany's. 68K-based machines never became huge sellers over here, for instance, and the Macintosh was the most successful of the bunch -- whereas it's my understanding that in a lot of Europe, the Amiga and the Atari ST were serious contenders even on into the '90s. Conversely, IBM PC clones had taken the lead in US sales by the end of the '80s and just never had any serious competition by the early '90s. It's not an exaggeration to say that Radio Shack was selling more Tandy 1000s than the Amiga and the ST were selling combined over here. (There were games with specific Tandy 1000 "enhanced graphics and sound," so it was actually considered a viable market all on its own!)

> Apples were very popular in the US at that time

Well, the Apple II line was popular in the US in the late 1970s through the mid-1980s -- at one point it was the best-selling 8-bit computer, taking the throne from the Radio Shack TRS-80 -- but the Mac was absolutely not a big seller in the 1990s; Apple survived because they dominated a few vertical markets like desktop publishing. For home computing, the first really successful Mac was arguably the iMac circa 2000.
> I think a better approach is to determine on a case-by-case basis if a test is useful for whatever you're working on and developing a sense for that is part of becoming a better software developer.

Do you have any hard evidence that this is actually a skill that some people have and others don't? How do you even measure it to verify?

I'm genuinely curious -- I've been thinking in these terms myself recently, too, but my literature search came up empty.

You don't get a role by having clearence.
You get clearence and access to 'classified' materials by having a role.

I think clearence has been overused as a dramaturgical element a lot but it sure as hell sounds cool.

They still ask about sexual preferences, but really it's more about anything not publicly known that could be embarrassing. No one cared that I'm bi and not out to my mom but they wanted to know that I would go to my FSO and let that get out before I passed any sensitive intel to a foreign adversary who might try to blackmail me.

And basically everyone with the SCI designation could get a call to get a poly anytime, but I've never had one and know people who've had their clearances for years without getting that call (and I know a couple people who had them before the government finished that person's background investigation, so go figure). Some agencies care quite a bit, others not at all.
"The fact is that "hard work" or productivity is entirely uncorrelated with compensation."

They are just not strongly.

All you have to do is send your higher earning potential workers to Germany - which as you hint at, kind of the way the EU was designed, and which is happening to a great degree.

'Joining the EU' was never a benefit for Portugual - really just the free money or subsidized/reasonably structured loans and investment were. But as you indicate, the price is a lot more.

Germany is where people work, Spain/Portugual is where they retire, like the Florida of Europe.

Sadly, I don't see an end as there will never be enough momentum to disrupt things, given that young people think that 'travelling without a passport' is somehow a giant strategic benefit, and they've been told how to think about the EU.

You could have a referendum and leaders could ignore it, as they have in France, Netherlands, Ireland etc..

There's no change possible on the Horizon, but if there were serious economic upheaval in major states like Italy/Spain, integration problems wit E. Europe in a major way, it might be possible to cut a new deal which would include terms that limit ECJ Supremacy and affirmed local constitutions, and gave local nations control over settlement, and hopefully 'more democracy' at the Legislative and Executive (this will never happen though) ... and you have a situation where UK, Norway and Switzerland could feasibly join.
How does someone on a bike 'cause an accident'? How exactly is a cop going to know that you've modified your bike? They aren't tour de france officials. I'd be fine taking my chances. You seem to have a very legalistic outlook that doesn't translate to reality.
It's very rare that if you meet TS requirements you're not getting the Q (if you're placed in a position where it's needed as more than likely you are already SCI cleared). In fact if you are denied for Q it likely means you're losing your TS too. There are exceptions but I would argue they're not the norm.

Either way, we have propensity to over classify things in the government and that's a whole other argument.
As a cyclist I tend not to care so much about all the mistakes other people do. Realistically it's a very small percentage of people that are new in traffic, the problem is that you usually only see the mistakes people do. You will never see that cylist who changed their pace 20s ago to avoid you.

What has been shown is that people who travel by many different modes; cylists, pedestrian, motorcycle, car, bus etc, are usually much safer and better at navigating traffic. We are all still masters at judging people only based on feelings though that will probably never change.
Yeah, imagine not knowing some factoid, and it not being practical to find it out... That's completely different pre-internet vs. post-internet.

That's a very good point! And true. But it's not a xor situation, you can have both as they handle different things. Regardless of any social security net, you can still be bullied or manipulated into yielding your free time. It's good to have it written into law that it's against the law to contact a worker outside their contracted hours.
Carrying unvaccinated means you have a much higher risk of carrying the disease without knowing it, and passing it on to someone who does not share your low-risk profile. Did you include that when you "ran the numbers"?
Come on now, this is a silly take with more than a little elitism.

An IDE (for a sufficiently static language) eliminates so much unnecessary mental load that is otherwise wasted on avoiding inevitable human errors—typos, type mismatches, forgotten cases.

I don’t want what is essentially trivia swimming around in my head any more than I want to find out about the inevitable errors I’ve made when I come to compile or run my program.

I want to know that no such issues exist well before then, so I can focus on making sure my program actually behaves correctly.
:P. Thanks!

In the US, we have something called "sharrows" which are a picture of a bike, and an arrow, painted on the street. The arrow is supposed to show drivers the "line" that a cyclist can occupy. Coincident with sharrows, my locale has designated "bike boulevards," that are considered to be preferred for cyclists. I live on such a street, that is a favorite route for riding from a large residential area towards the center of town. So I get to eat my breakfast and watch the bikes go by every morning.
As an almost exclusive Python programmer, I’ve often looked at Ruby’s block syntax with jealous eyes. It would be so nice. But I wonder if that’s maybe the exact thing that I also like about Python: the language is pretty damn simple in its essence. You want to minimize cleverness wherever possible, and that idea is firmly planted in the community. Ruby has this sense that Ruby is almost a meta language, you create cool “DSLs” in it to accomplish your goal. That makes it harder to fit into the brain also.
I've never seen a source that disagrees. Even the sources that talk about how the British drained India of it's resources will eventually admit (in small print somewhere hidden at the back) that "Sure, there was a huge one way flux of capital from Britain to India, and sure it cost Britain a fortune, but in the end they actually robbed India because they implemented a free market system rather than a protectionist socialist system". That is literally the only argument that exists, that by implementing a free trade, free market system, they took advantage of India.
Because that would invalidate the type approval and that in turn would invalidate my insurance.
Not saying it's likely or anything, but I think the theory would be a false flag for propaganda purposes.

Ironically, a layperson probably would give away their secrets easily because of the anxiety of the situation, while someone who might actually be an offensive threat is more likely to be able to beat a polygraph.

Realistically, they are probably very effective at verifying whether normal people have secrets that could be used for blackmail, as you say, because of the psychology, even if the machine isn't actually doing anything.

Anecdotally, I've heard of security interviews (for government intelligence, I can't give context) where the interviewer just says "i'll know if you lie". For the average person this is enough to make them flustered if asked an awkward question.
Do you know what happens when you have ops with different flags? e.g. if you have (a + b) + c, where one + allows reassoc but one doesn't?
There was a nuclear badge in the boys scouts, and one kid actually got it, to the dismay of his mother.

More generally, had nuclear not been demonized as part of the fear of mutual destruction ideology (I’m not saying it was wrong), maybe we would have lived in a parallel world where tinkering with radioactive elements would have been more widespread, and innovation wouldn’t have stalled for 60 years. Maybe we’d have a lot of nuclear-in-a-box batteries by now.

As always there are three sides to this story. What OP claims, what Amazon would say to justify the sacking, and what _actually_ happened.
Thanks - that’s the kind of spread I was curious about since there are some other factors like the cost of Spectre mitigations which have added addition dimensions to comparisons.
Most people have fixed rate mortgages these days. Ninja loans were mostly regulated out of existence. Most institutions are expecting home prices to revert to the mean inflation of about 2% per year.

So we won't likely experience mass defaults due to arms this time around.

I personally think it's more likely that rising rates (if it ever happens (hate you, fed!)), will more significantly impact businesses with heavy, non fixed debts. They would need to refinance at increased rates which is more expensive, likely dampening their economic activity and potentially forcing layoffs.

That may lead to consumers cutting back and push us into a recession/deflationary cycle, and that would perhaps put downward pressure on the housing market.

But I don't trust the fed. They refuse to do their job. If the above happens they'll probably instantly cut rates again just like in 2018 (I think?) when they raised them by about 25bps and then immediately caved to the market decline.

It's sickening. They're not doing their job. We've needed to raise rates for a long time (and cut gov spending). But we're a sick beast that is slowing dying of infection.
I was a little startled by your statement, so I charitably tried to figure out where it was coming from. Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_Confederat...) said that the South seceded to protect slavery, but the North attacked the South to put down the rebellion, not necessarily to free slaves.

So I would say that you were technically right that the Civil War was not declared to end slavery, but the overall conflict (and 30+ years leading up to it) was unquestionably about slavery.
I'm glad I prompted an expert to comment! Thanks.
GCC (-O3) actually unrolls the loop completely into 16 x (cmpb + jne), which I find slightly surprising.

We can't easily use a larger size because we mustn't read beyond the end of the buffer if it's shorter than 16 bytes and not a multiple of 2, 4, etc.
That's a real "fun fact" kind of thing. Love it.

Of course, the 'real' solution is actual Numerical Analysis (as I'm sure you know) to keep the error properly bounded, but it's really interesting to have a sort of middle ground which just stabilizes the math locally... which might be good enough.

Other fun fact: Numerical Analysis is a thing that's really hard to imagine unless you happen to be introduced to it during an education. It's so obviously a thing once you've heard of it, but REALLY hard to come up with ex nihilo.
Not just informal norms, in many states formal laws, just ones that are hardly ever enforced this century. (Many of them on are on the written part of your driving test, though people don't take those often enough to remember their details.)

For example, Kentucky law requires bicyclists over the age of 11 to use the streets. (Prohibits sidewalk usage.)

Washington state law allows sidewalk usage, but also requires wider sidewalks than the Kentucky minimum, and includes a lot of very specific wording about pedestrian right of way on sidewalks (sidewalks are theirs first) and mandate being very careful in overtaking pedestrians and other cyclists.

Mountain bikes are classified as motorized (WRT Wilderness access at least). If EV bikes are allowed where both pedal bikes and ATVs are not, something is wrong.
Although the beacon system (technically a form of semaphore) could likely have been much better optimized.

For example, if a single pyre went unattended or was otherwise unable to light their fire (for example say an orc band attacked it), the whole system would fail, and there would be no way of knowing that it had failed. Consider also the possibility that one of the teams may have been able to light their fire, but for fear of drawing enemy attention to themselves, choose not to. Same effect. A more failsafe option would be to have the fires constantly burning with the light being cut off as the signal bit. This could be accomplished quickly and easily by having some shutter that drops down and blocks the fire's light. If one of the stations were abandoned or damaged, its fire would go out, alerting the network that something was amiss. This also means that the cowards who don't want to alert orcs to their position need only stop tending their station when in danger, and they are free to flee.

Of course once you have some shutter in place to quickly block out light, you can presumably raise and lower the shutter. With an appropriate protocol, you can essentially achieve a visual telegraph. If each station maintains two fires, you can achieve bi-directional communication. This is also good for eliminating false positives for the main alert function if one fire just goes out for some reason.

It's interesting that real life semaphore systems like Phryctoria or the Byzantine Beacons did not implement fail-safe methods.
Cool, I hadn't heard about that. Thanks!
Out of curiosity: would the 1995 JS code pass any modern code review?
I assume it comes down to the "monetary union without a political union" part. I think you could make some of the same arguments for the United States but Alabama and California have a stronger political union so there is less (but certainly still some) chance for California to exploit the relationship by tilting the monitory policy to favor itself. Having said that, I don't understand how EU-level policy is set. Are EU parliamentarians even directly elected?
Driving through the south east is going to give you a very distorted perspective. Roads are busy and new development tend to be built around roads. Leave you car and walk a couple of miles and it can be completely different. The South East is also ringed by AONB, National Park and historic parkland that prevent development.

The bit about woke is a no true Scotsman fallacy. And it is ironic how you use the environment to push your own blinkered political agenda.

When I was beggining to learn game programming, I tried really hard to like SDL, but I just couldn't.

The official documentation [1] is just an API reference. There's no official tutorial or getting started guide that gives enough context to a beginner. There's just a bunch of links to (mostly outdated) third-party tutorials and books and some articles talking about specific parts of the library, but nothing official that serves as a foundation to a begginer.

The SDL_* subprojects ... I'm not sure if they're official SDL subprojects, third party projects that share the name, or something in between. The homepages (e.g. [2]) of these subprojects are totally different from the main project's, and their documentation is also just a listing of every function, without a general context.

Maybe for someone who already is a professional game developer, SDL is just perfect, but for a begginer (like me at the time), it's just obtuse.

The state collapsing does not mean Anarchism is here. Anarchism is more than just no governments. That's what you are either failing to understand or purposely ignoring. Anarchism is itself a style of organization and ideology. Mogadishu did not have any serious Anarchist organization or Anarchist revolution. It was the result of civil war and a collapsing government. And yes, when chaos reigns warlords take over. But that is not Anarchism.
Why do you think the Python REPL is particular bad? What would you do to improve it? I think it works pretty well, but maybe I'm just used to it.
How far can you go until the losses are over 160 dB? Reason I'm asking is that LTE Cat-M (low-bandwidth IoT) go that low, or lower [0]. GLONAS (GPS) receivers deal with over 180 dB of loss [1]. It depends on the power level in the transmitter, and how well the receiver can lock on to very faint, but expected, patterns in the noise. One of the tricks is to re-transmit, sometimes literally thousands of times.

On our C projects back in the 2000's, a full build took around one hour, composed of Apache, IIS ISAPI modules, our own mod_tcl fork, all the TCL database drivers for MS SQL Server, Sybase SQL Server, Informix, Oracle, and several other native modules.

Then we had to repeat it for HP-UX, Aix, Solaris, Windows NT/2000, in release and debug variants.

A release would be a day event, so fast to compile is relative.
We used to do this by opening a port in the shield over an x-ray source and detecting it with the predecessor of digital x-ray sensors back in the lab, sending morse code.
