The software does smell something is off. Typically the policy in this case is that legal told them to deny then access, because they don't want to deal with the legal hassle of serving someone who just told you themselves that they're not 13 yet. (Lawyers are often unreasonably risk-averse.)
Please just don't do it. If you go to apply for a job and part of the process seems to be something pointless and/or humiliating, simply refuse to do it. If possible, let the companies know why you didn't complete the process. Perhaps put up a site with your CV and such, and refer them to that. The world would be a lot better if people simply refused to take part in inhuman processes.
I think you’re thinking of “Dutch disease”:

“In economics, the Dutch disease is the apparent causal relationship between the increase in the economic development of a specific sector (for example natural resources) and a decline in other sectors (like the manufacturing sector or agriculture).”
Isn't that what servers are for? I joined a server once many years ago and found all kinds of truly amazing things that people had built. My favourite was a vast hollowed out mountain. The only way in was through a door right at the top of the mountain which caused you to descend into this beautifully lit cavern. Exploring this server was like exploring an art gallery.

Well, that depends on what you need to support; even if RHEL7 is the oldest distribution that you need to support, you can still assume you have at least Python 3.6, or python 3.4 for RHEL6 (which is already EOL).

There's no obligation to support every potential platform your script might ever need to run on until that need actually arises. You just need to define what platforms you want to support and work within their constraints. Unfortunately for lots of software that platform is essentially "whatever the developer managed to install on their system".

Constraining yourself to support a particular platform might mean there will be libraries you will not be able to use even if they might be useful, but that's the tradeoff you make when building software against a stable platform.

Commit messages often aren't nontechnical enough to make for an accessible changelog.

I would like to encourage developers to maintain changelog for their projects, but to host the changelogs outside of the project's Git repository. Maybe put it on the "Wiki" or "Releases" pages on GitHub.

When the changelog is an actual file in the Git repository, it becomes another source for merge and rebase conflicts.
I think a SimClimate could become a hit. Maybe the dynamics could be gamified for kids, but I bet there are lots of adults who'd also want to just "spend months crossing the steppes" following the seasons pretty much.

This is a really good point. In ancient Greece, when the known world (to Greeks) was a balkanized set of city-states, exile was often the preferred method of dealing with malcontents. But in a world of city-states, each state is also at war with each other, which makes adopting the other state's exiles a strategic win. When there's no set law of international conduct, individuals suffer as a result. When domestic policy becomes to punish individuals by physically removing them from their family and livelihood, it creates what we call in larger nations a refugee crisis. If the whole world were to operate along the lines of city-states, there would be no justice or safe harbor for anyone, anywhere, who expressed an anti-authoritarian viewpoint.

Singapore should not be looked at as a leading example, but rather a leading warning indicator of what can happen if the Deng Xiaoping / LKY model of authoritarian prosperity ever gains the upper hand on the future.
Why would you in this instance ever use Apple again? I would have returned the MBP and once they'd recovered my account, asked them to delete it.

Great that it was sorted for you, but there are dozens who aren't so lucky.
Well you are not wrong, but pirating is not the answer but cracking. For example i regularly backup my Audible library and remove the DRM, not to redistribute them, but in the case Amazon closes the Audible-brand, change the Apps i can access my library, delete some of them etc (we all know what can happen and did in the past).

Same with games, if possible i buy them from HumbleBundle or GOG. And i never buy something that is bound to a platform that i really care for.
Supporting a new C compiler for oksh and review of the vbcc C compiler
> Amusingly, so-called "sidetone" in telephones (being able to hear yourself in the speaker) is an undesired result of imperfect performance of the hybrid but turns out to be an important comfort to humans, so DSP-based systems usually intentionally mix the outbound audio into the inbound at a low level.

I wonder if the circuit lag from sidetone is something that affects hearing aid users, considering they have another circuit in which audio has to go through before the user gets to hear, but I wonder if the sidetone passes through their skull or jaw bone instead, totally bypassing their hearing aid. I guess the speed of electrical circuits, the speed of electricity passing through a circuit, is a bonus for our slower nervous system and brain which is only running at speeds of up to the old 286's/386's/486's iirc.

So the old Token Ring network never died out it just morphed into Cable networks?

>heavy use of remote DSLAMs that "convert" most of the subscriber loop to a longer-range medium like fiber.
And then there is Deep Packet Analysis (DPA) which can not only be used as a firewall like solution, but also used for compression/decompression to increase the bandwith of fibre by virtue of using compression algo's that give high rates of compression for different types of packet streams based on the type of data and also the way its delivered.

May be Youtube's delivery of packets from a variety of servers in a co-ordinated manner could negatively affect the compression algos, that could then be used to deliver over fibre and other networks, because we cant assume all network traffic for a service comes from one server. At the same time, this method of delivery can also be used to work out where compression of packet data is taking place on a "hop" or number of hops on the network to the end user, by virtue of packets arriving out of order. I think that method could be used to work out physical layouts of telephone networks between their servers and the end user. I then wonder are the spooks/telco providers in some country's using crypto currency like "tumblers" to make the telephone network change so no route is ever the same.

Its interesting but frustrating when looking back at some of the ways things were explained when at school, education can be used for so much more intelligence gathering than meets the eye.

Years working in corporate and I am yet to see people who are “serving shareholders” and “squeezing customers”.

There are strategies that fail, and sometimes there are people who maximize personal gains at all cost. Exact same way as for any other kind of organization.

Big problem is scale. Cost of mistake and collateral damages for big org will always be higher and more impactful due to size. 0.1% of customers for Amazon is 300 people.

One of the biggest impacts on my life recently was adding an automation for my smart lights (Philips Hue) in the living room.

The lights start dimming over a span of 2 hours until they are their minimum at 22:00.

The result is that it just feels like it is time to go to bed. I have always struggled with getting plenty of sleep and not staying up too late and this has had a tremendous effect the past two months.
Once I used a brand new credit card with a $1000 credit limit at a Walmart in the deep dark of a Sunday morning at 2a.m., to try to buy a PS4 game system and a copy of DEATH STRANDING. The card was declined. I contacted the bank via phone and they asked me to upload copies of my driver's license and/or passport. I never did. Oh well, so much for that credit card!
Adobe Pagemaker 7.0 2 Crack with Keygen Free Download (2022)
For the "userland", everything outside the kernel. The DOS shell and all the GUI APIs.

And the device driver APIs.

The kernel core, the scheduler, memory management, and local machine security model is from Windows NT, which was designed by a team under Dave Cutler, the architect of Digital Equipment Corporation VAX VMS.

The access control list model and stuff like the Active Directory network authorization model are from Ken Allchin, who had created all that stuff on Banyan VINES... Banyan ran on top of a BSD UNIX kernel.

Windows NT was POSIX compliant for a while, then it wasn't, and now it exposes a full Linux kernel API.

Everything came from everywhere.

Apple is more focused on adopting system architecture that already works in the more streamlined iOS platform, and it's leaving bits of the formal definition of UNIX™ in a bit of a mess. Which is appropriate for the year 2021, rather than 2001.

That’s why I don’t pirate stuff. I don’t want to hoard it and keep it. I just want to use it once and be done with it.

The only exception is content I create.

With a couple of minor exceptions that works well for me.

Historically i hoarded content and ended up with 2TB of crap I was never going to watch again. So I deleted it and now don’t have to herd hard discs.
Well, of course adopting any piece of technology is going to change human behavior. The question this study ostensibly posits is whether it’s for the worse in the case of smart homes.

And although they seem to have worked hard to answer in the affirmative, the conclusions reported by the article are suspect.

First, if a smart thermostat takes more time to calibrate than a dumb one, then surely it won’t be widely adopted. The question, then, is how accurate the researchers’ model is compared to available technology.

And the conclusion that humans would “change the order of their tasks to minimize their time spent changing temperature” is as baffling as it is amusing.
The part that does stuff is just ifs and + signs. But making a computer do stuff isn't hard; that's what they're for. The problem in software engineering is stopping it from doing the wrong things.

"Singapore had been colonized, occupied, and abused for over a century, and it was surrounded by hostile nations in a region succumbing to pressure by Communist forces."

This is a fucked up sentence. It tries to make it sound like the Communists were the dangerous ones, not the Americans and Europeans who were busy killing millions of people in that part of the world then. The people fighting colonialism were mostly communist and the people killing the communists were almost entirely colonialists.

1965 was the year that the CIA helped launched a coup against Sukarno in Indonesia. It led to some of the worst mass murder in the 20th century. The CIA, MI6 assisted the new leader, Suharto in killing between 1-3 million Indonesians. We still don't know how many people were killed, but it was definitely at least 1 million. Many not killed were put in concentration and work camps where many died. Many ethnic Chinese were targetted because it was believed their ethnicity made them more likely to be Communist.

1965 also saw an escalation in America's war in Vietnam. The Americans would eventually kill about 3.5 million Vietnamese and a couple million people in Laos and Cambodia.

Malaysia wasn't hostile to an anti-colonial Singapore, as this sentence suggests. Not that Singapore in 1965 was necessarily anti-colonial. Malaysians had fought the British for independence and there was a cease fire by 1965. The British left Malaysia, but the new government was mostly still friendly with the Brits.

Yes, Covid is primarily dangerous when it manages to get deep in the lungs and cause pneumonia. It takes a week or two of being sick before it gets there. That's why you heard early in the pandemic how people were fine, until about day 7 or day 10 and then suddenly went to the hospital. Other coronaviruses can do the same thing. If you ever get a cold for 10 days, your immune system is probably pretty bad and you very well might get pneumonia. But you don't usually get pneumonia from the cold coronaviruses, because your body knows how to fight them off. When the 1890 coronavirus hit, no one had immunity and it was pretty deadly. But we have good immunity to that virus now (so we call it a common cold). As long as you can ramp up an immune response and kill it off before it gets a foothold deep in your lungs.

Look the audible drm is so easy to remove i am ok with it, if they change it and i cannot remove it anymore i will stop.

And yes i hate drm too, but since stallman is a extremist that supports un-free licenses (unlike the BSD and MIT) i will not listen to his wannabe rants, and i will never forgive him to change the GCC license to GPL3 only.

If i care for something i remove the drm, if i cant, i will stop buying it.

The two obvious ways to "fix" that are either giving a proof for "P(1)=>P(2)" (which is currently missing) or establishing P(2) another way and then using induction. Both are fixes of the same thing and not at all "completely different".

No it is not silly—Coyotespikes is correct. There are fundamental aging processes that increase risks for many later onset diseases. Finding common denominator molecular causes of aging is the right direction for longevity research. Much current work is focused on mitochondrial facets of aging as that possible common and causal denominator. And it does make sense to maintain optimism about solutions.

Finally: we all currently live in a scifi fantasy world.

I would amend that to "most big open source projects _eventually_ have a company behind the, _if you're lucky_"

Its amazing how much easier its gotten to make a living working _with_ open source code over the years, while it's still often hard for the actual developers/maintainers to get any funding (e.g. ssl, ntpd, etc.)

It also seems that companies don't get generally get involved until some 'critical mass' is hit, leaving volunteers, uni's, and foundations doing the initial work (eg linux, apache, NSCA Mosaic, ssh, gcc, glibc/dietlibc/etc, php, perl, vim, nim, ruby, etc.)

Even taking from your examples - LLVM started as a uni. project, Webkit was forked from KDE's KHTML, and Rust was a personnel project for years before Mozilla got involved..

I wrote out quite a bit for this, but I think that the main point is that by falling back to the formalism, we see the the LHS of the implication affects our inductive hypothesis. I think this is something that is not clear if you just do "base case starting at n" style proofs."

As far as drudgery, Coq will solve the trivial cases automatically, so you'd never have to prove the n = 0 case by hand. That said, there's a reason most math is done on paper and not in Coq - there's usually an order of magnitude more detail and drudgery in a formal proof, even with automation.
Because that's how the US banking system works. For now, there is no alternative, except at a few of the big banks which are just starting to offer OAuth-secured APIs. Blame the banks for not offering a secure way to programmatically display your data. In Europe, Open Banking is regulated -- banks MUST provide a secure API, and so they do, and thus permissions are more sanely managed, you don't have to give out your password left and right.
