How cool that you were able to move through the acquisition! And I definitely agree that weather can be a pretty big deal. I thought UK was pretty decent weather compared to my home in the Nordics so I guess California must be a real dream. I can understand the healthcare issue too. I needed some dental surgery while in the US many years back and it was basically all paid out of pocket - was not cheap.
That would be better.

Unfortunately a working adult only has X amount of time in a given day to dedicate to kids. Once that time is over, its really up to them.
I dont see how reading for 30mins (which we already do) becomes proficiency, unless they do self study reinforcement, and that wont happen unless learning is fused with other activities they love.

The one thing kids have in abundance of, is curiosity and spare time. It would be great to redirect those to their benefit.

I have been ripped off and read of others ripped off too often to buy online except from gold plated suppliers - so I am wary. I think we have witnessed the ending of the gouge....
It's really starting to scare me how many of my personal interests manage to crop up as articles here.
>* Never looks up how to do the basic gestures

To me, it read like it just didn't work, not that he didn't try or look it up.

>* Complains about the size, when it's comically obvious what the size is from the constant advertising.

It's still a valid criticism, no? The digital pen/e-ink combo gives you way less feedback, hence precision, hence density of writing in a given area. I'm not just speculating, I've tried out a Remarkable 2 my friend got, and that was my impression - nearly like paper, but I still had to focus more and write slightly bigger letters for it to be legible.
> maybe have English as your mother tongue

Or Swedish :- ) Semicolon works in the same way, in Swedish. I think I didn't know much about the semicolon, though, until I had read a few books (in Swedish) about writing books (in Swedish).

Maybe most Latin languages? Oh not Greek. Hmm interesting how it works in Arabic, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicolon
Thank you.

I have a career of scanned math research notes, in felt-tip color on 32 lb laser printer paper. Teaching through the pandemic forced me on to an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. I quickly tired of the primitive Notability interface, and moved to Concepts. One rejects many art apps by testing whether handwriting is rendered naturally (or better), then most of the rest if one wants scalable vector art rather than bit maps. Concepts has the most advanced algorithmic support of those left, as far as I can tell. I certainly have complaints, but in some ways their layers are smarter than Adobe Illustrator layers. For instance one can group art without moving it all to one layer. This is as big a deal as lexical scope in programming languages.

I yearn for the calm of a separate device just for pencil notes, but I fear this is like buying a wind surfing board. A week after learning to balance on this board, I'll want a trickier board.

Algorithmic drawing is still at the Dartmouth BASIC stage, and the future is exciting. One imagines future drawing platforms with the self-referential power of Lisp. One doesn't imagine moving backwards.
Actually I use them a lot, on single track roads in the UK, they provide a MUCH better coverage around the front/side of the car -- I don't know how many critter I managed to dodge because I saw their eyes in the hedges.
- Web Portfolio showing 3 projects (or more). These can be from classes, personal projects, or overview descriptions of past work projects. -- for example, check out the template here [1] called "Portfolio" -- take it, repurpose it with your own content. Get it online. Add your web portfolio URL to your resume. (Once you've done everything else I suggest, the level up would be adding a blog to your portfolio)

- Github/Gitlab (to show your code)

- LinkedIn presence -- grow your network, share posts with hashtags that are related to your post/post's project. Follow important people. Connect with people you know.

- Add your resume to multiple job seeker sites: Indeed.com, Ziprecuiter.com, Dice.com, etc. Get yourself on at least 5, so that when recruiters search for keywords, your resume turns up.

Basically: Show you have the skills. And put yourself "out there" i.e. market yourself

This is a gross comment. What evidence do you have that that employee ever worked on anything having to do with pharma? Delete this.
If anyone is interested in learning more about the history of the SR-71 and Skunk Works there is a great talk on YouTube [1].

...um I didn't suggest we crack down on anything. Just personally I would think you're crazy if you tell me you're dimension jumping.
why? that still makes no sense.
I am also a cynical, if admitting market forces is cynical. :)

The only 75% cynical part of me thought that the move to touchscreens, removing ports, etc improved device lifetime and also lowered the unit cost of things like AppleCare.

The less moving parts the less chance of failure, right?
Wait what? Burglaries are violent crimes. How is it protecting lives to allow violent crime to happen? We're not talking about shoplifting here.
Fair points and thanks for the corrections. I underestimated how many new developments the pandemic would yield since I last did a deep dive here.

Still they are all well designed locks.

I recommend the smartkey v3 for people that need a lot of locks they can source quickly on a budget. The sidebar design is a real pain to defeat and if the lock is in a body with tight tolerances you may not be able to shim the sidebar at all. Without some kind of attack to tension the sidebar they can't be directly picked.

For those with more money to burn the Medecos are good security for dollar.

I put a couple Protecs on my luggage as tamper evidence devices so the TSA has to call me when they need to search it.

I would not bother with Protecs on a home as they are very expensive and there are generally better areas you can invest in home security for that kind of money but if you have a small number of ingress doors they are nice.

I don't think anything is unpickable/unbackable but when the time to defeat a particular lock someone has not seen before takes 10 minutes to hours and few if any in the world can do it I classify it as a "good" lock when the status quo can be defeated in seconds.
Someone explained it to me with two circles of how close the different cultures let someone in: in the U.S. it's pretty easy to get through that first layer and make some acquaintances, but deep friendships may take longer. Germans are not big into casual acquaintances, but once you're in that first circle, it's easier to get through to the second one as well.

There's also a difference in push/pull: Germans will often expect you as the new guy to make the first steps, whereas that will be the opposite in other cultures that are more inviting.

Joining some Verein or taking a class at the Volkshochschule can help crossing that first circle.
Running outdated web applications with vulnerabilities I suppose.
There’re also articles in prestigious journals that aren’t getting any citations. There’re other ways to engage people with your research.
Anybody who claims that only white people go to Disneyland has obviously never actually been there in the last 50 years or so. I was there last year and white people were definitely in the minority. Sounds like more divisive misinformation to me.
> Article's theory about malicious old blocks doesn't hold up.

I don't mean to be rude here, but none of what you have said refutes my point.

The attack here is that you control keys that (1) once held 67% of the value, and (2) no longer do. Because they did hold value once, they are dangerous to consensus. Because they no longer hold value, nothing is sunk into the network, so the attacker bears no cost or risk.

To apply your analogy: I don't have to be Warren Buffet, I just have to riffle through his trash.
My Silverado touchscreen has been problematic for a year now. Nothing like getting a voice command to “state your content type” while navigating rush hour traffic.
Regardless of airlines, masks come off for drinks and snacks. They remain off as long as you look like you're still sipping on that coffee and when you're done, they're usually only loosely enforced back on. It really is a big joke.
>the touch screen allows for a separation between the software and hardware design teams

it allows for the illusion that there is a separation, which isn't the case because when you're controlling a physical system through a digital interface both are inherently connected.

What it likely allows for is significantly more bad design, because both teams have no idea what the other one is doing or how changes in one system affect the other.

It's like arguing that separating the head from the body allows for better medical treatment because you can ship one to the psychologist and the other to physiotherapy when in reality you end up in the morgue (a fate you might be sharing with the touchpad distracted driver who was staring at data presentations while driving into the busy intersection)
> Am i missing anything ?

> sender.message(receiver, params)

It's the receiver that determines what messages they can understand, and the sender itself rarely has anything to do with the message apart from sending it. It doesn't make sense to make the sender an important part of the syntax for message-sending. By keeping the sender out of the syntax, the syntax of a particular call is the same no matter how the sender changes from moving the code around.

Also, writing it as receiver.message(params) follows English grammar of subject-verb-object ordering, allowing the code to read more naturally.

> sender.send(receiver, message, params)

If you're asking about the use of the word "send", at least Ruby uses it, but it's receiver.send(message, params). That particular call does not follow English grammar, but you only ever use the "send" message when the message is variable. It's not common.
As a side note, Kelly Johnson really did have more than his share of it all. Head of Skunk Works, during which he had 2 wives who died from health issues over the course of 20 years. As someone with a partner who had years of health problems, I have no idea how you run something like Skunk Works and care for someone at the same time.
Hej! I was a contractor in the UK before I moved to Stockholm (also severe lack of social life which is why I need to get out asap) and I'm curious, was your comp the same in the EU as an IT consultant as US employment with stock? Because the highest daily rates I was able to find in the UK were usually somewhere around 650-900 GBP per day which would still put you below US comp with RSU.
Subarus still have physical controls, so I'm confused by your first sentence. They also include a touch-screen infotainment system, but it doesn't really replace any physical controls (except maybe favorite radio station buttons?)
Revenue alone doesn't tell you anything about profit. (I doubt it's a loss leader either, but this isn't evidence to contradict the claim)
I had the newest X3 with iDrive and I think I never actually touched the display itself - the "wheel" was perfect, much faster and safer. There was literally no need to touch the screen.
Your answer below was exactly what I needed man. I am trying to decide whether to move to Cali or London, from Malmö, Sweden.

It looks like I am will be going with London, purely based on clarity of visa procedure. But my heart is torn about giving up on California.

I work as a self-employed IT Consultant, and I already make like top US salaries in Nordics. I will be moving my company to UK. Compensation-vise, I am fine either way.

I feel like, in London, I will miss the summer weather, mountanuous nature...and end up going for vacations down south in Europe to compensate. Whereas in Califorina, you live in the right climate & nature if you like that.

Would you say other advantages (public transport, european nice city arch., close to other european centers) in London weigh heavier than climate/nature part?
There are also completely unusable by visually impaired people who need a completely different interface. I'm so sick of getting touchscreens shoved down my throat by pollyanna-ish types.

(I am not currently visually impaired but have experienced several weeks of temporary blindness...it's a completely terrifying experience. Suddenly computers were almost wholely useless to me.)
I think the most relevant thing is that the law prevents you from endangering the lives of others.

If we are okay with it in the context of drunk driving, not to mention countless other aspects of our lives, I don't understand why it would suddenly be egregious in the context of COVID.
Chicken in particular exists for roughly 20 years and like many projects started as hobby... Some time ago I read an interview with the author (Felix Winkelmann) and he gave the name because of the toy on his desk (if I remember correctly).

Your point is clear, but he probably did not have second thoughts considering he was doing it for fun.
Is it actually that foggy there that regularly?
This is not constructive in my opinion. Some people say that the web was better in its early days when there was just HTML. HTML or LaTex, which the author recommends, may be sufficient for documents, but if you want that kind of an experience you can just use reader mode.

But opening an interactive prototype in Figma just by clicking a link or planning an event with Doodle just by clicking a link is not something I’d want to miss out on just to remove ads and cookie banners from websites. Sure loading speed would also be increased, but internet connections are getting faster and faster and most western countries have quite good coverage of fast networks.

The author also states that he/she doesn’t want to learn new web tech all the time, while server rendered PHP still works and powers a large portion of the internet. The web platform also doesn’t really have breaking changes, so your past knowledge still applies and old pages continue to work.

To me this is just an overreaction that doesn’t consider lots of usecases for the web.

Sure, that's a good enough of a descriptivist basis for a definition to be "correct."

I'd wager most folks on here don't see the name "The Pirate Bay" and question what it has to do with literal seafaring scallywags.
I don't fully understand your comment, is there some specific background story about this person related to the pharmaceutical industry?
putting touch screens in cars to appeal younger generations is a legit market proposition, but forcing them on people who are familiar with other types of car controls and have been driving for decades should be considered putting them at risk.

younger people prefer touch screens?

make them optional and let the customers chose if they want them or not.
None of this stuff remotely makes up 'half the products shipped internationally', by value or volume.

And just because something is cheap crap, it doesn't mean that it gets thrown out. I have seen a lot of crap cutlery in my life (when visiting friends), but I always see the same crap cutlery when I visit them. They keep it for years, because shitty as it is, it does what it is meant to. The only time it gets binned is when they replace it with a keep-it-for-life, quality purchase. Likewise for garden equipment. There's a lot of crap out there, and for most people, it suits their needs. They aren't professional gardeners, they only need these tools a few times a year.

I have a shitty toolkit. I'm not a carpenter, I'm not a mechanic, and it's all I need.
same with Copenhagen
Any chance you can link to or provide info or the iOS share sheet shortcut? That sounds nifty to have. Thanks!
Yeah, I started to worried about this but then realized that virtually all of my development work happens in containers anyways for purely practical reasons, and it's not like I'm mapping my real home directory in or anything, so if I had a compromised module or something it would affect that project but nothing else - all without me having to take any special security measures.
The people in the USA practicing eugenics thought they were doing the right thing. The people in the USA creating concentration camps for the Japanese (a.k.a. internment camps) thought they were doing the right thing.

Belief in yourself and your cause is irrelevant. Most people have that regardless of what they do.
This is the article that finally helped me grasp and understand IEEE-754. An excellent read.
Interestingly, in Algerian Arabic, while other numbers are similar, two is different. It's zouj (one syllable). Except when counting e.g. twenty two, where it is similar to ithnayn (more like t'nin)

BTW, it's similar to German in that regard, because it's two-twenty.

Also interestingly, the way 8 sounds in Algerian Arabic would be 2 syllables. Although take it with a grain of salt because it's third-hand information. I learned this from my father, who's not native (but has lived in Algeria in his childhood)
The role is called Design Technologist. Amazon has a good amount of them and they are starting to crop up in many more orgs. There is a real need for UX research and prototyping supplemented by prototypes actually built in code rather than just mocked up. There are ignorant people who will see your mixed skill set as “jack of all trades, master of none” but they are incorrect. There is demand for this exact skill set and it is increasing everyday.

UX engineer was mentioned here and that is typically a valid term for the role you describe too, this is what they are called at Google.
It looks like she doesn't even work at the company anymore? Why are you posting this woman's instagram?
It's similar in that 8k sigs are collected and coalesced to sign something. From there the differences begin. M-of-N schemes must be orchestrated ahead of time, using Shamir's or by constructing a BTC multisig UTXO or something. When signing, one may choose freely among the key shards. It's performed in the usual execution layer of the chain.

Whereas in ETH PoS, validation happens in the consensus layer, following strict self-imposed rules. With each new block, one validator is chosen to propose the block, and thousands of validators are asked to back the proposer. The proposer and attestors are chosen randomly but specifically with no freedom to mix and match; the chosen validators must attest (and receive a reward) or else be penalized. Validators don't know each other and they don't need to cooperate to create a shared key ahead of time, all they have to do is deposit and follow the rules. The signatures are agglomerated by [BLS ellipical curve stuff idk it's magic] and help to form the consensus chain itself.
> Germans are not big into casual acquaintances, but once you're in that first circle, it's easier to get through to the second one as well.

Someone explained to me that this is the case in Sweden as well, but during covid (even though we had lighter restrictions), meeting people on any circle has been near neigh impossible.
Right. Basically it put you in an invisible virtual line that you “stood waiting” in u til your assigned time. The benefit was while you were “waiting” you could go to the shops or a less popular ride or do something else.

3. VSCode has the ability to interact with the console (for example automatically attach a node debugger whenever you run something calling node in that console), so that shouldn't necessarily automatically be scoffed at.

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” - Upton Sinclair

Maybe a bit of a truism, but it is a popular quote for a reason
We just need the technology improved slightly to solve this problem.

Artists should be seeding high quality files to the torrents themselves, in formats that are signed and include a crypto wallet for sending "donations". Then the playback software just needs to check the signature to ensure you're giving money to the actual creator and not some imposter if you want to throw money their way, through a payment ui the players conveniently make available to you.

There's just no need for the middle-men who make it all miserable, and exploit control of the audience for their own gain via advertising/"recommendations"/propaganda etc. Torrents have fixed the distribution problem, and no consumers are really interested in depriving their favorite artists from making a living. It's just a glaring omission that the torrent system doesn't incorporate a reliable artists compensation circuit, like it's just unfinished.
Well it seems very specific to the US (and ex USSR countries one can see on youtube)

Now you have a point if OP never rode a bike before, I'd stay away for a while. Maybe that's why I never had any issues going back to biking .. I basically grew up on a bike. But that's not out of touch with reality. I crashed twice in the last 6 months, but I was far from breaking an arm (even though both time it was a front wheel losing balance so face first to the ground) and that didn't bother me much more (and I have a super weak health these days, I'm not a young stud in mint condition at all)

about practicality, and even safety.. I'd argue it's not as sure as it appears, at least in western european countries.. it's less risky than heavy traffic intersection in a car with crazy drivers cutting you off (with my bike I can chose 20 different routes back to home), and unsurprisingly I get there faster than with my car (no traffic jams).
Rome was NOT made by Italians (but most probably albans)...but hey they are really proud of the roman empire ;)

But do you know were the word "slave" comes from?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery#Terminology

>>Use of the word arose during the Early Medieval Period, when Slavs from Central and Eastern Europe (Saqaliba) were frequently enslaved by Moors from the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa.

So brown/black peoples enslaved white peoples, but hey the US only thinks about sold black's by black peoples only, a slave can only be black..end of discussion.

Others have picked the Bowley even though LPL can't but it is more time and work than anyone could reasonably be able to do in a real world application so if anything those efforts are a strong endorsement of the lock.
The conclusion is most definitely not "improvements are result of chance rather than treatment". You've also used quotes here but there doesn't appear to be any reference so I can only assume you're quoting yourself :)

I assume you didn't read (or perhaps chose to disregard) the article I referenced in my original comment as that provides evidence to the contrary of what you are claiming. Another much shorter article that you may like to read states "Experts have concluded that reacting to a placebo is not proof that a certain treatment doesn't work, but rather that another, non-pharmacological mechanism may be present."
