Don't even get me started on brightness... good luck finding anything that's higher than 350 nits.
I am not a big fan of head-hunters, as the ones I've talked to seem to act like used-car salesmen (deceptive and plain slimy). That said, external recruiters do make sense for small and growing companies who haven't sorted out an internal recruiting system yet.
> This is right where I become sceptical. Most libraries shouldn't care for the user's types at all. They should expose their own types so you can work the library - not the other way around.

This is an utterly bizarre statement. Should people convert collections of Xs from library 1 to other kinds of collections of Ys to work with library 2?

A very basic use case that shows up all the time everywhere, especially in systems programming, is that I have an array of items and I want to pass it to some library. But, to work with an array, you need to know the size of elements of the array, so that arr[x] knows how to compute the address of x. There are exactly 3 ways to achieve this:

1. The library only accepts arrays of some specific type (e.g. int[]). If you have some other type, you have to find some way of converting to the type known in the library - in O(n) time.

2. The library expects arrays of some fixed-size type that can hold any value (e.g. void*[]). This typically adds huge overhead, since now the elements of the array are not together in memory, they are scattered all over the place; and the library must fetch them from memory before doing anything with them.

3. Generics - the library accepts T[], and can easily do sizeof(T) to know how to access arr[x].

Even qsort is actually an example of C's convoluted support for generic arrays: you're explicitly passing the array base and its type (the number of bytes) to qsort. C's extremely basic type system anyway essentially identifies types with byte sizes in practice, so it's not obvious that qsort works like this (and of course, it's less safe, since instead of passing an int, you have to pass void* + sizeof(int), potentially getting them mixed up).
You probably sit farther away from your screen than most people. At least for me there's a pretty binary threshold where you can either see pixels or not, which makes a huge difference for text smoothness.
NZ is an island at the edge of the world, and their population is a fraction of most major cities, let alone states, provinces, and countries. Policies that work for them might not work for others.

Further, its a bit early to call victory if perpetual lockdowns are the only thing holding back the disease. What happens once they open the flood gates and covid is still active?
What's a god? How can I meaningfully ascribe any qualities whatsoever to a non-corporeal, non-perceptible entity? What does it even mean to ask if things that are outside of our universe "exist"?

Etcetera etcetera. You can't even get past the superficial layers of "Is there a god?" without hitting questions that are ill-formed.
Nietzsche addresses this best in Beyond Good and Evil, we can cast if the constructed definitions from religion of “Good” and “Evil” and instead subjectively form our own morality based on what we find good or bad. But the constructed version of morality today comes more from culture and media than religion.
On a side note: I agree with you but that is certainly not the language that is being sold to the public.

My previous comment was more about the news twisting reality and writing scare tactics to get eyeballs.
The goal isn't to maximize efficiency. It is to increase human connection. Why?

1. They want you to feel a sense of trust to increase the probability of taking additional steps in the process.

2. They are mostly extroverts who want to hear someone talk about their career aspirations -- for the same emotional reasons that coaches want to see people learn.
Going to Church and not necessarily paying attention to anything.

Or any other kind of 'Temple Service' for that matter.

Sneaking a peak at the men in the Mosque from the doorway, without knowing much about Islam, I was moved.

I've often visited Catholic Churches in Europe (I'm not Catholic), to take a set and contemplate a bit.

Much like the current comments about the Swiss photographer who sees Japan in a different light than they might, it sort of made me reflect on my on rather limited Church-going experience and mini-experiences of witnessing bits of ceremony of other religions.

I find intellectual people may be over analyzing a lot of issues, our egos lead us down one rabbit hole after the next and I feel we are missing the point.

'Going through the motions' can be a potent thing to help transcend that, because it doesn't involve focusing on the language or intellectual rhetoric directly.

In Buddhism they certainly have a lot of focus on 'transcending thought' which I think could equally apply to Abrahamic faith, but we get caught up a lot in the language and the 'applied rules' and it trips us up.

Just go into the Cathedral when there's no service and sit for a while.
I prefer to hire programmers.
I've heard that Canon's DIGIC processors are just slightly customized versions of the DaVinci media processors, which have a all documentation openly available, while Nikon's EXPEED processors are based on a closed product line by Socionext with basically zero public documentation and heavy customization.

Though there used to be a project which worked on a few of the older EXPEED-based cameras.
They are. Plenty of them are more than talented enough for it.
Yeah I would look for “medical” deaths (as opposed to crime, suicides and accidents) as the metric to compare to covid deaths. Not sure if that data is widely available.

The other thing to add to the mix of ups and downs is that the demographic of covid deaths is overly people with a short life expectancy so I would expect 2021 excess deaths to be reduced by the 2020 covid deaths that would have died in 2021 otherwise.
Personally I've not met anyone who believes in God because of scientific evidence for Gods existence. However I think Lee Strobale makes a claim of that nature in "The case for Christ".

Alvin Plantinga argues that you can have warranted belief without scientific proof in "warranted christian".

Me personally I believe that God revealed himself through revelation. That is, He convinced me internally to believe in Him. I know most would discount this as a source of truth but it's enough for me.
A comment that is grayed out..
Flagged for ageism.
1Password allows you to use a local vault, encrypted with a master password, that can be synced across devices in multiple ways, for instance using Dropbox. There's no web logins going, no 'someone elses database' accessed over the web. I have used this solution for a number of years, and would _never_ go for a cloud option like lastpass, for important personal data.

I recently had a revelation that merely using a product can often reveal the organizational structure and the cultural incentives that went into making it.

A company that is famous for being metrics driven and having teams that optimise for their own metrics is Facebook. You can tell that the product has "seams". Each page and widget feels like it was individually optimized and then stitched together. Overall it somehow feels off.

Apple puts design on top and has a kind of dictatorial veto over all aspects of the product. Hence products made by Apple feel seamless and cohesive. They are also more polished because when you solely rely on metrics you make it as good as it needs to be and then stop.
Around 40 to 50 in my personal experience. I don't believe the industry will ever get less ageist, please suggest me what other roles I can pivot to. I plan to stay an IC for a good 2 decades more maybe but after that I will do something else one way or another.
This is at least a philosophically interesting perspective worthy of contemplation and conversation.
That's why I don't get why people get so happy about Omicron - we know very little of the lasting damage from a "mild" infection! It's funny that people who are afraid of long-term effects from vaccines are not at all concerned by the long-term effects of an infection!
I'm flabbergasted that there at least isn't a developer-option to disable it.
Apple iCloud throwaway emails for each distinct login or service.
FWIW, "safe" doesn't appear anywhere on the Zig homepage. I've been trying out Zig for the past couple weeks, and while I love it so far, it gives anything but the feeling of safety. I would say there's guardrails, but those are optionally disabled in the compiler for faster execution.

It seems to be that Zig is really not trying to be a replacement for all programming, but fill its niche as best it can. If your niche requires memory safety as a top priority because it accepts untrusted input, Rust would probably be a better choice than Zig.
I would tend to agree. My intuition is also that (1) some headhunters might use time-spent-on-the-phone as a metric linked to bonuses (think: click as a proxy for sales in online advertising) and (2) the phone lets headhunter gather intel that you end up leaking in the discussion and that you would not leak via email. Some have great tactics to make you speak “now that you’re on the call”.
The parent said:

That policy won’t take cars away from the rural populace.
Unfortunately, the email sent from LastPass specifically says "Someone just used your master password to try to log in to your account from a device or location we didn't recognize"

LastPass support did confirm that the IP from Brazil did have the master password.

I also tried to login with a wrong password and that shows up as "Failed Login Attempt". This is different -- the person on the other side did have the master password.

Re: KeePassX, I agree. It's a catastrophic scenario if true, but it does seem improbable.

Hmm, it's part of the (lamented) Machine Project in Echo Park, LA.

They did a bunch of playful and intellectually-interesting science + art crossovers over the years.

One that people here may remember is the hyperbolic-geometry knitting associated with Margaret Wertheim (https://twitter.com/margaretwerth).
There's probably plenty of local privilege escalations, but those are not really anything worry about for a single-user machine. That one you pointed to is an RCE, so definitely more severe. I wonder how easy it is to exploit those. I suspect the community is eventually going to fix them somehow (especially since the 2k source was leaked a long time ago) if it's enough of a concern.
I would love to see them provide references and links to studies they are using to make these decisions. As it is this just reads almost like propaganda or a very strong, "trust us, we're the CDC".

We're approaching a megadeath of Americans from COVID-19 and cannot continue on this disastrous path.
I have been waiting for good external Retina displays for years. That the situation has not improved after all this time is incredibly frustrating. Why is no display manufacturer [0] interested in setting itself apart by producing and marketing a lineup of reasonably priced external pixel-doubled (~200 ppi) displays? For some reason everything must be 16:9 and 4K with no regards to display size, resulting in some very awkward pixel densities. The fact that Apple is able to mass-manufacture a 5k display with a whole computer in it for just a little bit more than an UltraFine 5k is to me an indication that at least it’s technically feasible.

[0] There is LG, but these displays have their issues as the article explains.
Over the entire pandemic to date, NZ has had lower levels of restrictions than all other OECD countries. For the majority of the pandemic there were zero restrictions and businesses and people were operating as normal.

NZ had a election mid-way through the pandemic and overwhelmingly re-elected the current government based on the approach being taken. Under the MMP system the current single party government is unique (governments are normally coalitions of multiple parties – like Germany).

These talking points from right-wing media about Australia and NZ suffering and having civil liberties destroyed is so far from the truth that when seeing news items covering it from the USA, it is so absurd to be comical.
Why is <220 ppi a dealbreaker? 27 inch 4k displays seem fine to me for retina and they are quite abundant. Though I've tried 32 inches 4k, and there the resolution is not enough for text work.

Dell has a 32 inch 8k display which is ~280 ppi in stock.

This is untrue, and part of a dangerous narrative that puts the wants of individuals as more important than the needs of a society.

It happened to me to but I'm no longer using LastPass for years now. I got an email saying that somebody tried to access my account from the US (the attacker is using a VPN) and changed password and recovery email on my Outlook account
Parts of the media were pushing the idea that the government was incompetent and dragging their feet for not doing it, including I think even the BBC, and there seems to be a reasonably large chunk of parents that think not doing so was massively harming their kids due to wildly wrong estimates of how much risk Covid poses to them. Also, a bit of the usual need to be seen to be doing something on top. Normal boring stuff - no 5G implants or secret kickbacks from big pharma in sight.
I have a Framework laptop and a M1 Air. I didn't see this mentioned in your rundown, which was very nicely written and I agree with every point, but going from a fanless M1 Air to a laptop with a fan, that seems to constantly run much hotter despite doing a fraction of the tasks of my Air, is a real disappointment. I'm not sure if this is a consequence of Pop_OS (my current Framework-friendly distro), the Intel CPU, the heat management system, or some combination of those, but it's very noticeable and makes me realize how much more 'premium' (as you put it) the Macbook is. I'm typing this on my M1 Air driving a 4k display with no fan, and no heat.
I was talking about this poster's question.
In my case I could never get MakeMKV to recognizey blu-ray drive, even when running the program with admin privileges.

And why run MakeMKV then run the MKV in HandBrake if I'm going to transcode it to x265 anyway. At this point I'll do both at once.
Remember when there was a drastic exodus of renters from SF about a year ago? Multi unit apartment buildings were selling for remarkably affordable prices. A friend of mine was looking at a property that fit in the mentioned cost profile. There was a brick wall that either concealed a good foundation or a colossal problem so he passed. If he’d persisted and drilled a hole it could have been a winner.
That part of the story was repeatable in the last year.
It’s not unreasonable to find a buildable lot for $40k within two hours drive of SF (I’ve looked) that part is repeatable. I found a house in Sonoma county for $450k. Needed work, that part is repeatable.
I imagine you could find property to rehab and rent in Wisconsin if you tried.
Maybe what you mean is “this sounds like more effort than I’d be willing to put in”
While I agree with both sentiments, I find the juxtaposition between the two interesting as it implies a relationship between them but they don't seem to be related at all.
Maybe try a powered usb-c hub and connect the displays to that instead of directly to the laptop?
Let me give a few examples of decent places to launch:

1) Dubai

2) Doha

3) Maybe Manama

4) Maybe Riyadh

Upsides:

- "Regulatory regime" means that you talk to the royal family. This is a surprisingly sane and reasonable process.

- Plenty of money to go around; people looking for things to invest into when the oil runs out

- Better weather than California

- Culture is more tolerant of occasional crashes

- Cash-rich populations who would pay for this sort of thing

The market isn't as large, but for a pilot, you don't want large. For large markets, though, I can think of a few cities in Asia which would be ideal for scaling up.

As a footnote: Regulation isn't a question of low versus high. It's a question of easy versus hard. I worked in a highly-regulated field, and we did field testing in a small European country where the standards were probably higher than the US, but the process was much more streamlined. Approvals were done by talking to one expert who either gave a thumbs up, thumbs down, or told you what you needed to change. In the US, the process would have taken years of pushing paperwork, and a mechanical bureaucracy is less suited to evaluate safety than an expert. A multiyear process isn't necessarily any more robust than a fast one.
I can’t speak for others but for myself I love that the techniques described are very unconventional.
Name one war, that has no religion involved.
I disappointed that this was about monitors and not something that I could clip on my glasses that would project onto my retinas.
Are they infamous? Quite frankly after visiting I wish there were more of them back home, selling something other than soda.
I like the idea of going through independent headhunters.
Does anybody know how to find good headhunters, though?
You don’t have to. It’s a choice. My doubts about it not existing came after I realized it’s not clear where to draw a clear boundaries for an organism. For example, each neuron in our brain can be considered it’s own organism but it’s part of our body and from our perspective we are in control of it. If we apply this to ourselves then maybe we ourselves are just a neuron in a bigger living “brain”.

Because everywhere I look, vaccines seem to reduce the risk of hospitalization and death.
If you care about HDR, ironically enough there are only 4 options for a decent monitor as well- And almost all of them are nearly impossible to buy new. Some of these monitors are also years old https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCcSK3R8HcM

In this case however, the relative silence is a good indicator.

Usually, even if one leaves a place and can't share their grief they will at least try to point out a positive.

That said, phrasing such as "You'll become a world class VB6 Developer" is a lovely way to let people know what they are in for in a way that is not disparaging, per-se.
Checkout Dr. campbell on Youtube. He is pretty good. I like how he goes over things and explains them.
Did it just happen to you today?

Did the email say that "Someone just used your master password to try to log in to your account from a device or location we didn't recognize"

And was that master password generally secure / wasn't used anywhere else?

Thanks!
I've been getting lastpass 2fa codes via text sent to me before and after changing master passwords lately. However I don't get the authenticator notification like I would from a login attempt so I'm thinking they're attempting password resets?

How is the contrast and BLB on that panel? The other LG panels in this area seem to have sacrificed basically everything for low reaction times. Also, just one input, and that being Thunderbolt on top, won't work for a lot of people.

Edit: Oh I see, that's one of the LG-but-really-for-Apple-only displays.
You replied to the wrong comment. You're also going to need to provide a citation that demonstrates that any harms from quarantines and lockdowns exceed the millions of additional deaths that they've likely prevented.

Most reasonable people understand the difference between "sustainability" as a systemic goal (e.g., ensuring that a pension plan is self-supporting and disbursible in perpetuity) and reactive policymaking (e.g., asking people to self-isolate and wear masks until our best science and net outcomes support a change). The latter doesn't need to be "sustainable," because it isn't supposed to be a permanent fixture. It's something we do to "stop the bleeding."
I've got a big Trello from my most recent search. It's the perfect mix of flexible structure, ease of use, and easy to scan.
This is like saying that you should never store anything on a computer because you know someone who got locked out of their work laptop with important documents on it after they were let go.

The real lesson here is to never put anything sensitive or personal on corporate devices/services.
Maybe you can introduce smaller changes over a longer period of time? I dunno. Would not Windows users be stuck with that very old look if there were no changes? I mean, is this actually what you are favoring? That said, I cannot stand the trend of UI/UX on desktop being so touch-friendly, along with more padding and/or increased font sizes and less content, too.
That's not what it says at all.
Mine was from India, master password definetly unique and very strong. I'm still hoping for some bug that mass alerted every day login attempts instead of actually gaining access.
The problem is that Catholics treat sin as a static field and any sane person treat it as an instance field.

Why do we need to baptize infants? Because they have original sin. How could they get it if they haven't done anything? Because Adam and Eve sinned and their sin is shared with all of humanity. How are we responsible fot their sin? We aren't but God still had to kill himself to forgive us. Cause reasons.

It gets more stupid the more you try to explain this absurd away, and the mess of a quote by Chesterton showcases that. It conflates the original sin with regular sins of adults.

Which BTW according to Catholic doctrine aren't universal "facts" at all - because some people are saints and have no instance sins, just the static (original) sin shared from Adam and Eve. And Saint Mary had neither for some reason (probably because Christ multiple inherited from Human and God and something would break if he inherited the static field).

I was a very religious Catholic for about 20 years and it never made sense to me. If it makes sense to you you probably never thought about it much.
I was only just saying to a relative that Catcher in the Rye has been made obsolete by LiveJournal.

This is true, but again I would compare restrictions relative to the severity of COVID outbreak.

Other countries have much longer/stronger restrictions, but they have also had much more severe outbreaks.

The government seems to be very slow to come around on changing their COVID strategy, especially given that the stakes are pretty low in NZ relative to other countries.
