I wonder the quality of learning if you listen to/watch something at 2x speed twice. Bonus if there is a delay in which your mind may formulate questions.

I'm guessing it would be superior unless it was a very high difficulty piece. Having a basic understanding and then formulating questions allows you have an input on the learning, as opposed to simply listening.

I would also say that with some material (esp. fiction), your "comprehension" may go up if you listen to it faster, because you don't give your mind a chance to wonder if something makes sense; I often fall for the trap of asking what I would do in a given situation, and then when the character does something nonsensical, I go looking for a good reason. I lose sight of what the author is trying to say because they made a mistake when trying to forward the plot.
He didn't say it was a character flaw. It's just context in which to put their other financial decisions.

The financial risk analysis of college is very different when you're poor.
So…in case you plan to not pay for it but still keep it anyway?

I am really struggling to understand the mindset here of what I assume are mostly well paid professional software developers. If I defaulted on a car loan (I don’t know the details exactly off the top of my head, but this entails more than just missing a payment) I’d be quite ashamed of myself and return the car myself with an apology. I cannot understand the mindset of someone who would feel justified keeping the car, much less getting angry at the method used by the bank to reclaim their property.

It’s not like this is a cheap car either where you’re threatening someone’s livelihood who is not going to be able to get to work.
In my neighborhood some people will bag cans and bottles separately from the other recycling and leave them out for the collectors. Another is to loosely and visibly tie the recycling bag so it’s easier to open.

If you have collectors in your neighborhood I recommend these easy ways to help.
Unfortunately true. The steady, slow and, in everyday live, invisible erosion of privacy is what might ultimately bring an end to online privacy. Especially once certain politicians see the benefit of outsourcing surveillance to third parties. Despite privacy being generally held up a lot in Europe, there are definitely a lot of people in power all over the place that would love to have access to the kind of data ad-companies have.

That courts are ruling against this, in whatever way, is still a good sign.
Most people don’t realize that hospitals typically run at 98%+ capacity in the winter in a pre-COVID environment. This maximizes their profitability and allows them to operate relatively at a loss for the rest of the year.
> Tailwind CSS is a design system token generator

This exact quote beautifully sums up Tailwind and should explain part of the "Why?" of Tailwind to those that do not understand why you don't just write plain old CSS instead.

Yes, you'll have to learn some new tokens in lieu of simply writing CSS statements. But what you get with Tailwind is a utility-oriented design system that allows you to put constraints on your design. These constraints add consistency to your design. With Tailwind (and similar frameworks/libraries) you get these constraints and the following consistency cheap. With plain CSS you need to actively work to put constraints on your design (e.g. building out a design system using CSS variables). There constraints are opt-in, not opt-out.

That utility based CSS frameworks like Tailwind also tend to solve specificity issues is simply a bonus.
I don't think that's quite right, you own the vehicle legally and you owe the bank the loan. However as soon as a repossession takes place the legal title to the vehicle does change.
They are stealing. They’re trespassing on people’s property to take resources that don’t belong to them and selling them at a profit, depriving the city’s recycling program of revenue. And the people I see doing this are probably not homeless people since they are picking up all the metal in a fancy pickup truck. Not only are they collecting cans but also old metal furniture and appliances. This is a business they run at the city’s expense, doing redundant with the city already paid for.
There's Flaschenpost[1] in some cities, and afaik it's pretty popular. Me and my partner use it pretty regularly.

gross, but the taxes is super low in Ukraine (at least for programmers). Most of the programmers pay 5% from salary + 50$
This looks like it would be pretty stable in practice. The iffiest assumption I see is that names are always ordered by first appearance.

It would be worse if it touched the bytecode itself, I've seen that break even in a bugfix release.

It actually works in PyPy (if you change the way dictionaries are merged so that it's 3.8-compatible). Other Python implementations could have a harder time.

A future Python release could always overhaul the bytecode system to the point this no longer makes sense. I think they'd consider it a backward compatibility break, but I'm not sure, and Python makes those fairly regularly regardless.

If the optimization were added to the standard library then it could just be kept in sync with the interpreter.
I agree that relying on companies to be advocates out of good will is not a good strategy.
I dont think this is the right take. It may be the intention, being that effectivcealtruism believes in minimizing animal suffering, but the piece misses the mark. Because it makes a poor case about "modern culinary habits", i think it reads solely as an indictment of semi-sensical, hysterical, reactionary cancel culture.

1) Being an omnivore doesn't mean you participate in factory farming. It blurs these together and doesnt make a distinction between the two.

2) Eating meat of any kind - including factory farming - isnt genocide. this is solely an emotionally charged statement.

3) The petition to take down the statue came from college kids. Not a groundswell of issue-centric political support or sweeping national changes, but "a group of students". 21-year olds. The people most likely to be emotionally engaged and least likely to know what theyre talking about.

Don't take my post as a defense of factory farming. I havent participated in years, and look forward to caring for my own chickens on my own land. My point is simply that this article doesnt seem to be some dualistic thinkpiece that reveals the readers biases.
I think that'd have to be something decided on a case by case basis.

A brilliant physicist who also happened to write a letter to a journal in support of phrenology? I can let that pass.

A prolific philanthropist who made his fortune on the backs of the enslaved? Yeah, that can go.
Indeed, Tesla’s own lending page seems to point to banks as lenders, not Tesla or a Tesla finance company. Perhaps I’m misunderstanding though, I’ve never looked deeply into this before.

I only realised how serious a threat omicron was when I looked at the South African data recently and you can see how much of a impact it's had on deaths in a largely unvaccinated population.

Even if you just compare the case numbers in South Africa to the UK (where most are double or triple vaxed) you get a good idea of how well vaccines are working.

For example, in South Africa deaths have gone from about ~15 a day before omicron to ~30 a day since the variant was first identified, which is terrifying. And in South Africa they have around 20,000 new cases a day compared to about 80,000 in the UK -- imagine how much worse it would be in the UK right now if they weren't vaccinated.

Anyone still doubting the efficacy of triple vaccination in healthy populations really needs to look at the data. The South African health authorities are wrong, omicron is a serious threat to our health and if we must fire a few people to ensure another successful Pfizer vaccine rollout, then so be it.

Apologies for the sarcasm, but as some with COVID antibodies from a prior infection which I recovered from in about a day, I am genuinely getting frustrated by how much fear and pressure the government is pushing on me to get vaccinated every few months, when the data on how effective they are at managing the pandemic (even after several doses) seems completely inconclusive. Even if this booster did prevent infection by any substantial amount, are we sure we all need them? And further, are we sure the risk justifies governments and employers pushing them on us via the rollout of various mandates and health passports?
It's in the docs … on my servers this fixes things as well:

S=my_server ; ssh $S 'mkdir -p ~/.terminfo/f/' ; scp /usr/share/terminfo/f/foot $S:~/.terminfo/f/foot

PITA still.

This would be nice if it happens. I have fond memories of pidgin and similar and being able to use multiple messenger accounts from one program.

This would be a key enabler here as well for alternative front ends or interfaces to platforms.
Reducing platforms to their API and a "platform preferred" front end.

I mean obviously the EU is strongly motivated by wanting their companies to have a stronger chance at competing with US FANG companies but it's still a good move for the users.
The learning lock-in thing is something I've coached several people through, for both software and literature projects. I've found a very effective tool in getting them out of the lock-in: make a wager with them.

I place a bet of $100 that they won't finish a small project in the next month. The project can be anything. It can be the smallest thing. But they have to finish it and release it in a predetermined, legitimate release channel (app store, website, self-publish on Amazon, whatever).

I've found a lot of people's lock-in comes from a fear of the unknown, of not knowing all the steps to get from 0 to finished, and focusing all of their time on the parts they do understand. They rationaliz the delaying of learning about the others as being pointless until they have the beginning parts "perfect". The bet forces them to make their comfort zone the smallest part of their project.

You can do it with yourself, too. Make a wager with yourself that you won't buy that new toy or have a drink or watch another movie until you finish a small project, completely, with a real release. You definitely need to time-box it, or you'll quit once you decide you'll "never" finish. And you need to setup a negative consequence: maybe get a friend to hold some money in escrow, or schedule a donation to an organization you hate that you can cancel when your project is complete.

Every person I've coached in this way eventually developed a habit of releasing projects. It turns out people grossly over estimate the difficulty of releasing a project. Once you force them through it, it's no longer a scary unknown and it becomes a lot easier to "begin with end in mind".
Th title is in the owners name with a note of a bank lien on it. When you sell the car the bank lien is settled first and then the transfer can begin. In most cases you can’t register the car without the title and you cant drive the car without it being registered.

They are planning to bring it back in Scotland, as a more univeral scheme like the GP descirbes in Norway. The timeline keeps getting pushed back due to lobbying from the drinks industry though: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/dec/14/scotland-del...

Vaccines are specific and usually take years to produce (this time being the exception), it was more of a question than a statement of fact because I genuinely don't know (hence the use of 'surely', it seems intuitive to me but I really can't say.)
Webcomponent designer – many new features in v0.0.66, v1 release in January 22
I think this is less due to a genuine change of heart and more because the lack of enforcement by the government in regards to big tech has left people without much choice.
You are right, but it's not super dangerous in the country. We haven't got tanks and rockets in the city and war only in the East of Ukraine.
2 things:

1. Yes, kate is a fantastic text editor as far as GUID editors go. Why? Because its simple and doesn't overload itself with needless cruft.

2. Please don't put anime girls on blog-pages that people may open in the workplace ;-)
What a ridiculous comment. You could dismiss any act of goodness with that logic.

“We built a shelter for homeless people and are feeding and clothing them.”

“You know, the Nazis thought they were doing good things too.”

I mean…seriously?
I wonder if this is anybody's ace in the hole yet? I've done plenty of legacy systems support to know there's value in being able to say "this is a currently supported and active project that supports some tech otherwise unavailable on a commercially supported OS." i.e. the people still supporting Windows XP for things.
There are probably better ways to do that. Using a fictitious example based on the disdain of the future population does not make for a good argument. Sure, the people who already see it will like this piece. But will do nothing for the people who don't already see it, as to them it is solely a fiction without that necessary preexisting background.
When I was at fb they had an internal email address called oops where you could forward issues like these. So maybe you can ask a friendly employee if that's still the case, and if they can help.
Vendor-provided SDKs are typically not good. Nordic's is one of the more decent ones and it still has a messy makefile based build system that's horrible to use. With nrf-rs you just use it as a cargo dependency.

You don't have to write your own HAL when the community maintains really excellent ones, written by people who actually want to fucking use it rather than vendor employees who just have to get it out of the door.

Lately I had been thinking that task _"fill your screen with colour X (really fast)"_ would make a nice (ugly) interview question, revealing creativity and exploring different approaches.

For maximum points I'd expect candidate given task "fill your screen with black" to simply turn it off.
Interesting, I would have assumed the browser would have blocked the fullscreen request as it wasn't initiated by an action on the document itself.
I guess native GPU drivers are the biggest thing that's missing to enable gaming.
As a bicycle and old motorcycles user I am gobsmacked that so much people accept that the vehicule they are using is connected or regularly phone home to the manufacturer. I guess if you share all your life on facebook and instagram, why shouldn't you also give away all your errands to any third party.

Is there at least a license agreement you are showned at and have to agree to upon delivery? Can you operate those vehicules offline by choice?
I applaud your ability to appropriately hedge your long term health risks with a short term financial gain to provide for your care in the event you have debilitating long term effects. Remember to cash out before the lawsuits hit.
> Now we have large numbers of vaccinated out there I really think we should see a lot less of "new infections" type stats, and a lot more of "in hospitals" type stats... in places with 90-95%+ vaccination rates THAT is the numbers that are important for things like opening up/locking down.

So, the trouble with that is that hospitalisation is a lagging indicator. By the time hospitalisation starts rising rapidly, you could lock everyone in their houses and it would still rise rapidly for another week or so. Which will probably overwhelm your hospitals.

Even in places with 95% vaccination, case counts are still _generally_ a reasonable indicator of where hospitalisation is headed; some fraction of those cases will convert to hospitalisations due to that vulnerable 5%, and due to people for whom the vaccination doesn't work very well (immunocompromised and extremely ill people, generally).
Mark said that one of the many input to start Facebook was to bring people to the internet.

He thought to himself : "there's news, there's sport, there's search, where are people and personalities?"

It turns out people really dislike being informed or nonetheless being aware of the presence of other people and their personalities on the internet.

It shouldn't come as a surprise, nobody likes really packed stadium stands or a packed mall or a shop or anything really.

The internet did free us up from acknowladging other people, then FB emerged and back to square one we went
That is... doubling down on a bad idea. Moving the stupid cookie banners to the browser itself so we can not block them. It's so idiotic, the EU bureaucrats will probably consider it.
After looking you up, I wonder how much of this particular attitude is related to being Jewish. I sometimes feel like I'm refracting my family's misfortune in the Holocaust by making myself either unavoidably useful and friendly, or else unassailably logical. Maybe I tip too well.

Ukraine as a country is not going anywhere, relax, partitioned or not it is still viable place to work/live/invest to. Rather unlikely it to disappear, unless WW3 which is effectively destroying everybody's career around the world pretty much
You are basing your argument on population based statistics. Healthcare workers are an important, large, and uniquely at risk sub-population.

Should you rx chemo therapy this afternoon? Probably not… unless you have a known tumor. Radiating random people off the street is not a good idea—I fully agree!
I didn't say it wouldn't happen. Point is a new major python version is extremely rare and a huge deal. Having to update dataklasses would be very low on the list of concerns.
The legal wheels are grinding on Amazon for a while because it’s a unique case in america. American courts check if something harms consumers, and Amazon is able to show that it transfers the lowest cost to its customers.

One of the biggest legal changes in the past few years was a new direction altogether to determine anticompetitive behavior.

If I recall correctly, FB’a recent acquisition of giphy (?) was also stopped on anti competitive grounds.

Point being that this stuff isn’t necessarily easy, the other side has very good lawyers who tell them what not to do on top of this being novel.
Can't comment on certifications but aftermarket performance upgrades that are not from Tesla already exist through hardware modification with some attempt at the "cat and mouse" game of detection and evasion one might expect from such activities. Haven't hard of any lawyers getting involved though.

I would assume if you do something dumb with the electronics or software you wold probably be found liable in terms of insurance.
In most cases you'd care about, it's easy: ask them to apply it.
Right...I get where you're coming from but I think where you're coming from is indicative of the why things changed.

It's neat old Mac's from the 80s could to do that...but they had to be able to do that in order to be useful. In other words, it wasn't a "cool feature", it was something they had to be able to do.

I imagine that when storage became more plentiful OS developers became less interested in implementing solutions to problems of this nature and who can blame them really. Supporting a use-case that almost no one cares about anymore is rather unrewarding.

As others have mentioned, there are plenty of ways to achieve this on Linux today, they just seem to involve more fiddling than you'd like. That, unfortunately, is the nature of the beast.

Linux is a tinkerers OS (that just happened to become popular for servers) and expecting it to change its stripes is asking a lot :-)
I agree. But imposter syndrome is exacerbated by thinking/feeling that everyone around you knows so much more than you, when in reality they (probably) don’t.

The site was dedicated to breaking down the illusion that everyone around you knows everything, and it is only you that doesn’t understand something.
Then I guess the related question is: is this safe to use with Python implementations other than the main one (CPython)? For example, PyPy or Nuitka, neither of which use byte code (or at least I don't think so)?
Isn't it reversed: that the repossession takes place because the legal title to the vehicle changed, due to the contract being broken by lack of payment?
NZ already has a law for this.
AWS/GCP/Azure are very keen on keeping the business in Europe, so they have European datacenters, try to keep them GDPR-and-other-laws-compilant, and will even sign a legally binding agreement with you swearing to keep all data on EU servers only.

They stopped surgeries here (more or less), but it has nothing to do with any kind of shortage or lack of capacity.
Correct. I meant when the repossession order is issued.
The server's main income is priority queue. By default, if the server is full (it almost always is) you are placed in the "normal queue" and have to wait for other people to leave. This normal queue is often hundreds of people long, leading to wait times several hours long. For $20 a month you can purchase the priority queue, which skips the wait. A lot of people pay for this as it is the only way to comfortably play on the server, so it is quite the income.
The EAN definitely doesn't indicate the country where the product was sold. In your Swedish supermarket, I expect you'll find plenty of products with Danish or German EANs (certainly that's the case in Ireland).

As your linked article says, "The first three digits of the EAN-13 (GS1 Prefix) usually identify the GS1 Member Organization which the manufacturer has joined (not necessarily where the product is actually made)"
As I said, can't find more now. But I remember even reading about fears of it being live in the local newspaper in Flensburg.
If you are an insurance company the way you calculate premiums is absolutely critical to both sales and profitability. And these are not just algorithms, they are systems. Same applies wherever. If you can do without code you have no edge.

How does ReactOS attempt avoiding being affectable by malware? Does it "fully" inherit the "attack surface" of the system it tries to be compatible to? Or are there improvements? Is one supposed to run anti-malware software over it (or keep it networkless)?
Wages become a market question. The more their worth the more people start looking for a limited supply. Suppose you could pick up a can every 6 seconds (including time to collect deposit) that’s 600 cans per hour at even 5c per can people would make 30$/hour which is solid pay. Except at that value people would go out if they could pickup a can every 12 seconds and make 15$/hour, down to whatever wages still motivate homeless people.

At a higher value say 25c/can picking up 1 can per minute is 15$/hour so again people would go out even if they weren’t collecting very many cans. Higher deposits should result in people doing a better job even if their not paid more.
Interesting, could the purchase have been made through Facebook marketplace?
>"But I guess when better tools are available, it could be a decent choice."

When / if then sure (assuming it would also be compatible with the megatons of very useful libraries written in C). I would have very little desire to replicate something like LUFA for example.
Well, one of the main goals of ReactOS is in fact to be able to use native Windows drivers.
Those who want to weaken cryptography now or in the future smile every time the advice to not implement your own cryptography is given. (Which is not to say everyone giving the advice wants to weaken cryptography, and yes, there are real reason to be extra careful.)
