My eldest daughter was born in 1985. When my wife went into labor, we drove in my pickup truck to the local hospital. Before she went into active labor in the early hours of the morning, we shared her hospital bed and watched an episode of “The Golden Girls” together. I treasure that sweet memory.
Do you have JS diabled? For me they animate and swap.
> "What due diligence and groundwork have you done to prove that they are in fact a terrorist?"

The solution is to make this question their (Clearview) problem. If you are offering a service that makes damaging claims about people, then you need to be liable for any related damages if that claim is later found to be slander/libel.

The risk of a potentially huge ruling/settlement will be handled the same way it is handled in other professions: by paying for liability/malpractice insurance. Eventually, the insurance companies will handle the question of due diligence.
Yandex image search is superior to google image search because it does not interpret the content to a string and searches for this “one liner” but searches actually for similar images.

Yandex also has Papiamento in their text translation. Which Google doesn’t support at all.

Neat! The last two years I’ve been pretty interested in programming language theory and operating systems. I re-discovered lisps and started toying with them. I also started learning more about BSDs and openbsd in particular and toyed around with an openbsd remote server.

I think my general interest would be systems engineering, but more specifically language theory and operating systems.

What kind of research have you been doing?
The title might lead you to expect deep discoveries, but it's generally more entertaining than applicable or worldview changing.
When I hover over the "Define settings" button, it swaps with the other button.

To me, all this cookie consent is just a stupid game. This one is at least fun.
The "Accept All" button moves when I hover over "Define Settings" but it's a bit flaky.
Same for me. I tried it on both Opera and Firefox (Linux desktop).
Yeah a lot of .NET shops backed raven due to it's integration with LINQ at the time. It was actually very powerful and feature rich. Haven't touched raven in 8 years, although I have checked out their time series functionality.
There's always Wrigley's that went from offering gum as an incentive to buy soap to just selling the gum... "Make something people want"

> In 1891, 29-year-old William Wrigley Jr. (1861–1932) came to Chicago from Philadelphia with $32 and the idea to start a business selling Wrigley's Scouring Soap.[14] Wrigley offered premiums as an incentive to buy his soap, such as baking powder. Later in his career, he switched to the baking powder business, in which he began offering two packages of chewing gum for each purchase of a can of baking powder. The popular premium, chewing gum, began to seem more promising, prompting another switch in product focus. Wrigley also became the majority owner of the Chicago Cubs in 1921.

Funny enough he went through the trouble to make sure tabbing works, and that the bottom url indicator is readable. If you tab to "Define Settings" you can in fact disable analytics, and "Accept All" changes to "Accept".

For those wondering what is SAFE stack:

* Saturn for back-end services in F#

* Azure as a hosting platform plus associated platform services

* Fable for running F# in the web browser

* Elmish for client-side user interfaces

(from https://safe-stack.github.io/docs/overview/)

Azure is the only safe'ish choice on this list, and there too I'd avoid lock-ins.
> Couldn't an iOS app which uses blockchain technology as a decentralized database be just as good an example of what Web3 is trying to achieve?

Until Tim decides to wave his hand and shut it down. Same thing with a hosted website. But developers could distribute the web app as html and then users run it locally. It connects to the blockchain and submits transactions.

> Or a technically oriented command line app for finance using a blockchain which does not involve a web browser?

Interacting with smart contracts does not require a web browser.

> For instance the Gates Foundation does a lot of good things but really countries in Africa need to be building capacity in governments accountable to their people if things are really going to get better. NGOs taking over their role doesn't help with that, it just makes the culture of corruption more sustainable.

I honnestly think the best thing we can do for these countries is restrict immigration. We're taking in their smartest and best. They aren't going to be helping their countries and contributing to it with our current system.

Reading about unicode has made me much, much more circumspect about the meaning of != in languages, and what fall-through behavior should look like. Unicode domain names lasted for a hot minute until someone registered microsoft.com with Cyrillic letters.

Years ago I read a rant by someone who insisted that being able to mix arbitrary languages into a single String object makes sense for linguists but for most of us we would be better off being able to a assert that a piece of text was German, or sanskrit, not a jumble of both. It's been living rent free in my head for almost two decades and I can't agree with it, nor can I laugh it off.

It might have been better if the 'code pages' idea was refined instead of eliminated (that is, the string uses one or more code pages, not the process). I don't know what the right answer is, but I know Every X is a Y almost always gets us into trouble.
The illustration is hilarious - appears to be a gigawatt laser scoring a hit on Mothra.
The untyped languages rose in popularity in the 2000s and got as mainstream as it gets. But static typing is having a comeback in the past 5-10 years, with go, rust, kotlin, and of course typescript. Almost every dynamic language is getting some flavor of gradual typing and most people seem to love it.

My results were what I expected, and what I would expect for any MVNO. Are other non-Fi MVNOs being filtered/censored? I think that'd be a pretty big deal, unless it's just Boost Mobile or whoever it is they own that really isn't, practically speaking, an MVNO anymore.

> Indeed it is. But the soldiers were taken out of production in the economy, which is the point I was responding to.

Right, but the allies had more people, so there's nothing relevant about slave labor. Like I said: slave labor is a tool of last resort, when the market fails. The US had to use that tool to get enough labor in the fighting force, but still had enough humans that market systems (and propaganda) worked in the economy.

> We both know that. The Nazis were in power from 1933-1939. There wasn't much prosperity.

Then I have no clue what your point is. My point was, and continues to be, that Nazi use of slave labor was a consequence of the already relatively weaker economy. You seem to be arguing that slave labor caused the weak economy. My point is that it started weaker and remained weaker, and to try and keep up, they had to force more people to do things.
Pretty much agree - it would be traumatizing if my house burned down no doubt, but other than family and pets, I have no emotional connection to anything else in the house - its just stuff. If the house was on fire, I'd grab my laptop and backup disk - that would be about it.

I think the crypto junk is a red herring. This is just a continuation of the “marketplaces” that have existed in games for the last 20 years. There’s nothing wrong with games having collectibles and NFTs are like fine for that, whatever. I think the tech is silly but it makes no difference.

It’s the fact that these kinda of games are designed to exploit a bug in human v1. No amount of personal responsibility, bootstraps, or helplines is worth as much as just outlawing this garbage.

I think the only way forward is to make precise the language of “exploiting human psychology” and regulating on that rather than any specific thing. A world without “dark patterns,” skinner boxes, and engagement farming would be bliss.
Toool (Lockpickers) scammed out of $20k via Amazon purchases [pdf]
This is a stupid anecdote, but I'll share it anyways.

A while ago, I was scrolling through random old shows that are streaming and thought, "Huh, I haven't actually seen a re-run of the Mary Tyler Moore show in probably 30 years." So I check one out from 1972 - the year I was born, and there's Betty White! I had totally forgotten she was in it!

Then I think, wait, how old was she then? 50?? Holy cow. She was older than I am today (49) when I was born. Wow. Mind boggling. I wonder if I'll be around in 2072?

So sad to see her pass. But it goes to show the truth of the expression: "100 years: All new people."

I had the same problem and didn't want to manage things by hand, so I wrote Harbormaster:

It basically pulls Compose apps from the git repositories you specify, builds the containers and makes sure they're running. Pretty simple and works really well for me.
The Crystal programming language is very nice. It is a typed, compiled language with excellent performance. The syntax is inspired by Ruby but is not identical to Ruby (by design).

The all-important version 1.0 milestone was reached in March 2021. The next version (1.3) is scheduled for release in January 2022.

Some downsides to Crystal:

- No Windows version: Estimate for a Windows version is still not known - this will obviously turn away Windows developers. Crystal can be run via WSL (Windows Sub-system for Linux), but it's not ideal.

- Slow(ish) compilation.

- Small community: This isn't necessarily a problem, but as a new language you won't find the same learning resources and online discussions as more popular languages. However, the standard library is quite well fleshed out.

I actually ended up doing some variation of this for scripts I wore for my labs. The space is actually quite small and it's not hard to brute force this problem. Once you get to more open ended designs and larger parameter spaces (like filters) it becomes a bit more challenging to brute force.

If they are making false claims about you that cause serious damage to your reputation (like telling the FBI you look like a terrorist), then sue them for libel.
You’re very welcome. The article mentions some possible exceptions where you can leave off the ‘s, but I don’t think it’s ever wrong to add it anyway.

As a non-native speaker, you have my sympathy and respect for learning our grand mess of a language.
One of my degrees is in EE. This post surely took me back to some of the frustrating design labs and more unknowns than equations to solve them... I also definitely went down the route of just fixing the cap, because well, we only had like 2 or 3 of them in our parts kit, anyway. And I appreciate you mentioning the resistor tolerances because, no, you don't really have a 1 kOhm resistor. You have a 987 or 1009 or something else near 1000 Ohm resistor.
It's a cultural shift that is epitomized by trends like WSB, $GME, and Robinhood. To older people it doesn't make sense. So you can scream and shout that it is illogical (like many have re: gold, silver, etc) and adoption will continue to increase and the value of the underlying assets will go up.

There is a massive difference between a perception debate about color - infamously tricky - vs whether or not a leaf existed. This is honestly blowing my mind that you think theory of mind applies to digital zoom not being able to resolve details at multiple distances flawlessly. The AI replacing a face with a leaf is also a comically circumvent construct to explain those artifacts

Edit: I explained how theory of mind applies - a bunch of anti-capitalist or anti-Apple folks who think that magical AI is everywhere broke this photo spectacularly. I don’t really care why people think it’s something that it’s clearly not; people think covid vaccines are meant to shorten lifespans, or that climate change is a hoax, or that god exists.

None of the justifications posted are even close to relevant or believable at a glance, let alone after seeing the reality of the thing
Tesla doesn’t adhere to normal economics. every other car company had to cancel orders in 2020 to save their cash expecting a drop in demand. Tesla either due to their unique economics or sheer lack of knowledge of the tight supply chain management had the option not to do this. The result? They didn’t lose their components when demand didn’t drop. This wasn’t a risk other companies were able to afford to take (possibly with some exceptions such as Toyota who had a strategy around this)
The safest and most effective method for storing wealth that the unbanked currently have is to bury gold jewelry somewhere. Gold holds its value better than fiat, but is not easily divisible and there is a large cost to converting it to/from fiat. Bitcoin keys can also be buried, but if necessary they can also be memorized and transported across borders without risk of seizure. Also, having multiple wallets is not complicated; you may be underestimating the cleverness of the unbanked.

The parameters of the Bitcoin code are changeable (and have changed multiple times since inception) via hard-fork based on the 'voting' of the nodes which verify all new blocks and number in the tens of thousands distributed across the globe. The parameters of the protocol are set such that anyone can run a verification node on only a couple hundred dollars worth of hardware, thereby encouraging decentralization.

OK here's my third refutation of the labor theory of value: you and I both have 1,000 hours of experience making bookshelves. You spend 50 hours making a beautiful bookshelf, and you carve scrollwork into the legs of the shelf and beautiful scrollwork into the front of each shelf, and it is level, square, and plumb. I spend 50 hours making a bookshelf, but it has one leg that is much thinner than the rest, and there is no scrollwork because I don't know how to do that, and I didn't really measure anything, I just kind of eyeballed it, so everything is out of plumb and out of square, and the bookshelf is rickety, at best.

According to the labor theory of value, our bookshelves are worth the same amount, because you put 50 hours into making yours, and I put 50 hours into making mine, and we have the same prior experience.

Is the developer paid to be friendly to users? If not they likely wont be, dealing with users isn't fun, especially as most of their complaints lies out of your control. So developers working for big companies or developers working on free open source projects likely wont be very friendly. Developers who work on a project they try to sell will likely be friendlier though, at least until the project becomes so successful that they no longer need your money or they realize that you don't intend to pay for the fix.

The parallax in the video is just a tool since photographs don't have any real depth perception like our eyes do. The small leaves on the foreground and the big leaves in the background enhance the illusion, since they're about the same size in screenspace. Maybe the preview showed a leaf, but it's close enough to skintone I doubt it stuck out to his brain on the little phone display.

In meatspace, his eyes are at a different vantage point focusing on the face, while cellphone cameras try to keep everything visible as sharp as possible.

I'm not in the industry, but I am aware of this from various news articles. Quick googling...

Typically, devices are banned from restricted areas (trading floors). Where BYOD is "allowed", apply a corporate profile which prevents the installation of problematic apps. What these people do outside of office hours can get them in trouble too.

NYSE Rule 36 seems to cover this:

https://nyseguide.srorules.com/rules/document?treeNodeId=csh...

(d) Floor brokers must maintain records of the use of telephones and all other approved alternative communication devices, including logs of calls placed, for a period of not less than three years, the first two years in an accessible place. The Exchange reserves the right to periodically inspect such records pursuant to Rule 8210.

UK rules seem to ban BYOD?

My point is: it is a (really) dumb idea for a country that is facing serious infrastructural issues.

The days of great “german engineering” are mostly (i said “mostly”, ok?) a thing of the past - reality has it that this country lost focus and misses out on vital long-term investements and vision. And unfortunately most of this is driven on a political scale intertwined with classic german big corporations.

The “Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport” has been a joke from the beginning and is a showcase of how incompetent politicians can ruin a country.

Personally, I enjoyed the read. I tend to enjoy people discussing how they resolved problems, the steps they took, and the outcome; so I may be biased.
Hertz feels weird to me as an example for two reasons:

1. The company wasn’t really leaning into the thing where they became a meme stock when they filed for bankruptcy for some reason. They did start an at-the-market offering but that was stopped pretty quickly by the courts.

2. It did actually go up for non-meme reasons so the crazy people buying stock of a bankrupt company, or rather, the people who believed what they read on Reddit and bought the stock and didn’t sell it, we’re vindicated as the company did somewhat recover.
I am surprised that this is legal. I mean that would be like paying developers only if they sit in front of the keyboard and not for the meetings.

Sure but there are enough people who want & use the travel perk for it to be effectively part of the compensation. If you don't want that or can't use it then a career as a flight attendant is probably not very attractive.

You could make an argument that COVID has made it difficult/impossible to use that perk so perhaps that perk really is worth ~2x the salary.

My laptop (i7-8650U) has slightly faster single-core performance than my 96-thread dual 7402 EPYC Milan home server. I'm fine with that. I'm not fine with undue inefficiencies, i.e., excessive cache misses, branch mis-predictions, and unparallelization due to sloppy or unfortunate code.
I have a similar observation. My motivation to start programming as a kid was to build cool stuff but it turned out that just learning to code was so crazy difficult and such a big effort. Eventually I became good at it but I feel like it took a toll from my creativity. Similar with studying, I studied Physics. This was a pragmatic choice since I was naturally good at math, curious about philosophical consequences and job perspectives were supposed to be solid. But the studies were really hard and eventually I started to not care about any philosophical aspect, just accepting everything is state of the (pragmatic) art. Not to mention how often I had to tell people I have to leave early because of studies. Also later on especially in some startups pressure can be insane, one boss once suggested I could work in nowhere land for some months to focus better. (Luckily I didn't do that) But yeah, this certainly does something to you I think. Good to not forget there's also this other life. (I think that's also the point in the pg article) Also I must say social life really became much more difficult over time. When I was younger not meeting anyone in a week felt strange, now I'm happy when I can socialize once a month.
