Reminds of Maths class in school when our teacher got us to try visualising and manipulating a 3D object in our mind. Very few were able to do it, which surprised me a lot.

I don't understand your point; I'm not sure why.
RData only stores the environment of the session. It doesn't store the current search path (you need to reload libraries). I believe it's not a full binary image like LISP
The solution may be easily bounded, but the solver may not be.

For example, a simple shift cipher has one solution that simply and easily produces the expected output. However, a one-time-pad is still incredibly difficult to break to demonstrate that output, even when you may know some key parts of the expected output.
Yeah to this day I think of Winamp visualizers as still the best implementation of music visualization ecosystem to date. iTunes had (has?) visualization plugins but didn’t compare to the hey day of Winamp. Seems like people just stopped trying in this category? Not sure where the audio visualization scene is at
It seems more like a publicity stunt that Elon can use for childish "grandstanding" on Twitter; sometime in the future, if not already.
IIRC the Dallas airport had large selves in the wall behind the toilets for luggage. It was extremely convenient.
All those problems were present in 1957 flu epidemic, the 1968/69 epidemic the 1977/79 flu epidemic

People were just less anxious and depressed back then, especially according to recorded stats the most severe was the 68/69 it was basically the peak of huge human gathering, between marches, students protests, Woodstock, Summer of love, Beatlemania, surf culture. In short nobody gave a darn about the flu.

It seems to me, people nowadays are more concerned with existing that living, and somehow have convinced themselves to hold out long enough and they'd be able to reach immortality.

it's like they don't know that sooner or later they'd die anyway and that the secret is to live in the moment and enjoy life , stumbling on their way to the grave with a smile on their face due to the fun they had along the way.
Whoosh, as they say, but thank you.

That issue actually doesn't happen with regular elixir, since it's immutable and stateless, the scheduler doesn't wait for the process to voluntarily wield (it's always safe to switch, so it just gives some fixed time for each process, which makes it very low latency and very reliable but not very efficient at any individual task due to all the switching). Calling other languages from erlang/elixir create dirty processes that can't be scheduled this way and may cause those issues.

Since I didn't use dirty processes in elixir it did make me forget about this obvious issue you pointed out, that for a mutable language like Julia can happen in every thread, but that's not something that limits the expressiveness of the model, but something that requires consideration to avoid while programming and language level mechanisms to protect the thread (at the very least the ability to define timeouts that can throw an exception on any spawned process) or maybe a future framework on top of it that handles this in a safer way (something like Akka). I can only hope Julia can achieve the full potential of it's multithreading model.
Finally - table_list - You can't imagine in how many places sqlite pops up (web too - for example https://perfetto.dev/), and having introspection built-in abilities helps a lot!

This is a brilliant rendition, thank you very much for sharing the link!
Well, there really isn't anything preventing this from being massively automated. Except for the natural limit of influencers vs. target wallets.

Your friend should take this as a complement to her appearance, she's been deemed attractive and trustworthy-looking, after all. That's why her account has been targeted.

Contact IG to wipe it, and acquire stronger auth habits, and better backup habits. Nothing else you could do about that, really.
There's a point-in-time count of homeless that happens annually nationwide. I believe they capture this information (well, it's more along the lines of how long did they live in the area before becoming homeless).
It's a direct reference to the essay called "Photographing Evil" that is discussed in the next paragraph. If you want to bridge the gap from your article to someone else's it helps to use the same terminology.

It's a bit awkward, though, and I would use the word sinister myself as a compromise, but I certainly see why they did what they did.
To teach quadratics you can use Cavalieri's parabolograph:

https://en.etudes.ru/models/conic-sections-cavalieri-parabol...

This may make all of the variables more "real" - but note that the equation graphed is really A(X - B)^2 = Y - C, where (B, C) is the vertex and A is the "setting" (clear if you examine the device. This is relatively similar to the complete-the-square formalism but with a straightforward geometric and "hands-on" interpretation.
Came here to say this. Leaving satisfied.
They’re called “em dashes”, and they look like this: —

You can find a Real, Genuine Em Dash™ at https://emda.sh, or insert one using ‘C-k - M’ in Vim or ‘Compose - - -’ on Linux — not sure about other platforms.
I recently realized I was the only person running the API locally when suddenly all our unmocked tests started failing only on my machine.

All other tests, including the ones on the CI server, were connecting to the hosted integration environment for any unmocked call (and thus randomly modifying state there).

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but I built out a mini Spotify player with visualization support: https://github.com/dvx/lofi

Even had a few folks contribute a couple of neat visualizations[1] :)

PS: Visualizations were unfortunately deprecated on Macs since like 1.5.0 because of the incredible difficulty of getting the audio stream data. Pretty sure there's no way of doing it these days outside of a kext.

It's a win-win!
That's amusing, in the US, its the other way around: Class C is for regular autos while Class A is for tractor trailers.

(Class B is for heavy vehicles not towing, like buses or large delivery trucks)
In an ideal situation I'm sure that could work, but I'm not sure if law enforcement would have any more luck getting hold of instagram help & support in this case. I also don't really know much about deep-fakes yet and if they do fall under some kind of copyright law and how that would work across international borders. I think it's very new problem that might not have a clean solution yet.
Had an account not hacked, but copied pictures (only using bikini pictures), choose a similar username and followed all followers with an invite to a porn site (though I did not follow the link to see, it could not have been more explicit in what was being offered). Instagram "reviewed the report and decided it did not violate their terms of service" and refused to take any further action.
Also a barebones industrial PC can be 3X more expensive than a common one.
2019 is really too late for prediction. I was wondering about all the prophets of future and astrology that I was following and there was no one that predicted covid and lockdowns. The closest to predicting covid, lockdowns and other things that I had read were from conspiracy theorists.
That’s clever but all the documents I recall not being able to e-sign also wanted me to return the original by post. At that point there’s not much point faking it I guess. Feels ridiculous though!
I don't understand what you mean by that. I run a business and I use HelloSign for document signing and it seems like an effectively identical service. I don't see why some other service can't come along and undercut Docusign
They're hoovering up all the data and fishing for lawbreakers, and finding them.

Authorities needed to establish whether it was a legitimate target for infiltration, so they turned to traditional sleuthing methods. When a phone connected to a tower, revealing its location, they would use security cameras and dispatch surveillance teams to identify the users. Many of them turned out to be people suspected of involvement in drug-related crimes.

Nice write up.

On a tangent note, Am I the only one who finds those feedback forms anti pattern?

I hate the MS teams feedback form with a passion, popping up every second call or so.

Typical day of back to back meetings. Given the not so stellar Performance of that tool, i am typically annoyed after a call, and then this thing pops up and when you start to answer it, it asks more and more all the while I only want to get away from that tool and need to jump into the next meeting.

I have accepted the poor UX of teams, what would my 100s feedback report change? The devs of teams should have all the info in the world on their product already. Why do they not simply act on that info, fix the repetitive problems that get reported in the 1000s each day and turn off that form. What are they gaining by keeping to annoy customers.
which country / legal system are you describing ? Among nations worldwide, there is a massive disparity in IT and in execution of legal agreements at all, for that matter, I would guess...
Can you share the Pacer link?
Matias themselves makes both Mac and PC keyboards using their Alps-clone switches, so, yes. :)

Personally I'm using the Mini Tactile Pro for the Mac; I don't love the look, but the feel is fine and I haven't had any reliability problems. (Others have reported Matias switches and/or keyboards as being a bit flaky, but personally my MTP has been fine.)

There are other keyboards which use Matias switches occasionally, but they're few and far between. KB Paradise is the other big user, I think.
If you know someone who works there (Kafkaesque absurdity surrounding social-media operators) you can recover an account asking for help politely.

At first I thought it was a parody about overdesign and CV-driven development.

You can make a turkey edible by just salting the whole thing. Or you could bury it under a pile of hot rocks (2 euros on aliexpress) if you really need to get heat involved.
I remember back in the winamp days thinking "this is awesome, I can't wait to see how much more awesome this is in 15 years!".

Alas progression in tech can't be taken for granted.
Bill Gates was notoriously ruthless (per Paul Allen’s memoir), and supposedly his mother and father’s advice [1] was what caused the pivot to philanthropy. With that said, some people never change, regardless of PR covering fire. Dark personalities with enormous wealth wield outsized negative power.

Indeed, the title is misleading. However, I stuck with the original one because editorializing titles is frowned upon here.
Virtualbox 5.x with Windows 2000 setting up compatibility mode:

regsvr32 %WINDIR%\AppPatch\slayerui.dll
Do you see it becoming a competitive issue though? Even the commenter who brought it up doesn’t even think paid browsers will ever be mainstream. I certainly don’t.
Yes, I realise those two statements are in conflict. However, it's still possible for someone earning €200K to not be able to afford to give up €50K a year of gross income to reach the 25 year target I described. High tax, high CoL, a non-working partner and kids can level your chances.

And some costs are just fixed for everyone, so there's a lower limit to consider

The bottom line really is the balance between CoL and earnings rather than absolute earnings.

To achieve a given fraction, R, of your career salary in retirement you need to give up a fraction, S, now. My claim is that most people won't be willing to give up S to achieve the R they feel they need for early retirement (at say 50).

Personally I feel that unless you're 20-25 and have hit it out of the park with a great career starting salary you may as well forget about it and look to retire later... maybe start investing for your kids instead. Give them the 20 year headstart they can't give themselves. Investing for a decade or two longer is the magic sauce
Nonlinear Dynamic Systems and Chaos by Strogatz is amazing. It’s extraordinarily well-written and illustrated, and if you have some basic calculus and differential equations under your belt, it’s also quite accessible.
That and Macromedia Flash! I love how easy it is to make shapes and curves in Fireworks and Flash. Its an object-oriented UX. You click an object on screen, you'll get its visual and textual properties. You click the screen, you get your canvas properties. You can group, ungroup or do unions on objects. Layers are only secondary to objects, unlike Photoshop with its layer-oriented UX. Illustrator? I dont even know what the UI/UX is supposed to be, its just a mish-mash of tools.

Wow, that's a pretty fucked up take.
It is not clear to me how you could interpret my reply as being an admission that "the only good time for it is when it doesn't matter" - my claim is something quite different, that it makes a difference in a way that does not lead to great examples. Are there great examples, as you put it, of the use of the comma? If not, should we conclude that it doesn't matter and should be replaced with something else? A period, perhaps, as you say should replace the semicolon?

I will admit, however, that I doubt a misunderstanding of this magnitude could be fixed by punctuation.

Given the viewpoint expressed by the last sentence in my original reply, I have little doubt there are examples where replacing a semicolon with a period could alter the meaning of an expression, but I am just not motivated enough to go look for one.

If, as your final sentence suggests, you feel that semicolons are characteristic of "the worst and most pretentious parts of literature", then I have bad news about just how pretentious writing can get. Writing that badly misuses semicolons might be the work of a pretentious author, but it is mainly just bad writing.

Ultimately, however, I think the semicolon will disappear: if one's readership finds it strange and it interrupts their flow, then it is counter-productive. I do not, however, think this would mean it was a bad idea; its demise will be just a consequence of the ever-shifting norm of usage in language. Furthermore, the substitution of other punctuation for the semicolon, as noted in the article, suggests that it had a purpose that remains to be satisfied one way or another.
I mean at Vercel. I have 2FA at GH but I can log in to Vercel using my GH email address via the email option on the Vercel website, after confirming the code on-screen versus the code sent to my email address.
My observation is that in Romance languages writers (and readers, presumably!) like to create long sentences with lots of sub-clauses. It's almost a game where you have to read the whole 50 word sentence before you can parse it fully, having to push onto a mental stack quite a lot of state that you can only pop at the very very end. So in Romance languages one often finds sentences as long as entire paragraphs are in English! That approach doesn't work well in English for a number of reasons. For example, gendered nouns/adjectives can help disambiguate various parts of a long sentence; conversely, lacking gendered nouns/adjectives makes mixing multiple subjects and/or objects in one sentence much harder to pull off without causing severe ambiguities.

Now, I can write that way in English -up to some limit to do with those ambiguities-, but when I do, I find it irritates certain readers.

A rewrite of the preceding sentence:

I can write that way in English, up to some
limit to do with those ambiguities. When I
do, I find it irritates certain readers.

which is the style I find is more commonly used in the U.S.

Usually I write sentences as they pop into my mind, then I edit them down into more numerous, shorter sentences.
Define "real economic behavior".

I don't see it as any different than buying and selling stock, unless you also consider that to not be real economic behavior.

There's also loans and interest earning activities.

whew boy, I was not expecting this on this website
For all my engineering experience, apart from CTO and Freelancer, I also have listed 'Engineer'. I've been a senior engineer for some years now and still refuse to align with whatever each company chooses to name me.

I worked in a body-shop as a junior, but they sold me as a senior to the client, so I got lucky early on to realize this is just smoke and mirrors. I haven't really had any problems with it and when people ask during interviews, I usually tell them it's up to them to gauge my seniority, I have no idea.
What languages have package management systems that solve those problems? Cargo does have options to fix these, like mentioned in other comments. I'm not convinced they should be defaults.
As an open source contributor, I submitted the code in 2020 that made it easier to get running with Polis. I find it quite frustrating that you're slandering the project with weird speculations and confusing factual accounts 3 years later, after other people put in the time to improve things. As far as I recall, you never entered a public space (issues, chat) to offer anything, even a formal bug report.

I can't understand why you didn't ask for help in the issue queue or chat. I'm sorry if you had a bad time, but your speculations are a funhouse mirror version of what I understood to be the case.
Not every business is a software house. And IT departments wil not suddenly be terminated. Roles shift to different parts of the organisation. Billing is for the financial department. Filling SSO roles and identities is for HR.
You still need staff knowledgeable of the used products and platforms. They are advising the business unit so why not put them there ? Most products are migrating to web based Saas. Businesses pick a platform and mandate that for SSO and office automation. Like Microsoft O365 or Google Workspace. No more need for own data centers or technical support by own staff.
With shifting roles and decreasing workload there will be a time when it makes sense to just spread the remains and not have a separate department anymore.

How do you build software in 2021 then? Do you write everything from scratch?
It isn't just proximity though.

It is also about doing dangerous research in imperfect conditions with no oversight, shady behavior like moving the dataset offline, hiding the testing status of kab members, or how the sister lab changed locations to move right next door to the wet market in fall.

It is also about how sars-cov-2 is unique in being the only beta coronavirus with a furin cleavage site, which allows it to be more infectious. It is also a coincidence to that in 2018 Wuhan was part of a failed grant to collect coronavirus in the wild and put furin cleavage sites on them. Failed grant sure, but everyone who works in academia knows that you start working on a grant for preliminary results even before it is filed. And who knows, maybe China funded this dangerous research.

The only problem in all this is how lab-leak was declared to be a settled conspiracy last year. And the only reason was because an orange idiot vouched for it.
Does the process matter if the result is the same?
Well it was meant as a joke, but yes your are probably right, and a windows machine should never allow users to install anything...NO especially not devs ;)

I'm interested: Does your company in this training allow you access to what usually is a dead simple way to identify 99% or phishing/spam emails?

I luckily don't work for companies that do this regularly but the ones I've seen online before and the one I did have to do, do not give you access to the headers.

While I realize that most non-techies won't know how to do any of that, it's the easiest for any technically inclined person. The first defence is the real email address (which I always have displayed by default anyway), which gets rid of a large swath of them already and the rest are usually pretty clear from some of the others headers. It has never happened to me that something as intriguing as this post's message came in.
If they’re reposting one’s own pictures, a DMCA claim would be a good way to solve the issue. It shouldn’t be needed, but Instagram will obey the claim

i think in addition to what you say, there are probably also the issues of just running a business...

new releases need new features → bloat

managers need promotions → hire more devs → more bloat

devs need promotions/evaluations → refactorings/abstractions → extra bloat

corporate dictums/strategies (add .net this and that) → bloat city

people leave → knowledge is lost → old code gets worked around/stuck → bloat

---

just a crazy supposition, but i'd guess programs/apps that stay under the radar stay small and maintainable, programs and apps that are popular suffer from a smothering of resources/people that inevitably bloat it up (just look at itunes for another example)
