Pretty wild excuses, a revealing look at the reality of "cop talk":

> Petitioners also denied playing Pokémon Go while on duty. They claimed they were monitoring a "Pokémon tracker" application on their phone, but not playing the game itself.

> As for "catching" Pokémon, Officer Lozano insisted this referred to "capturing [an] image" of the Pokémon on the tracking application to share with friends, while Officer Mitchell said his statements about "fighting" the Togetic referred to "relaying that information to the groups on my app," adding that, "in order to
take the picture, occasionally, the creature will fight."

> Lozano said they were not engaged in a game; rather, it was a "social media event." Mitchell said he did not consider the application a game because it was not "advertised as a game." Petitioners admitted leaving their foot beat area in search of Snorlax, but they insisted they did so "both" as part of an "extra patrol"
and to "chase this mythical creature."

We should make headlines this way all the time
Warners intentionally released every 2021 film simultaneously on HBO Max in an attempt to drive subscriptions. It's likely impossible to attribute marginal subscriptions to a specific film on a service that offers thousands of them plus episodic television, but long run, if the service doesn't die and competes reasonably well with Disney+ and Netflix to drive up AT&T's market value for decades into the future, especially if other telecoms and ISPs start to dwindle in the face of disruption, it's worth it to lose accounting profit on a few specific wide releases for a year or two.
> You only have to `await foo.bar()` if foo.bar was an async function already, the module system is irrelevant. You would still need to await it even if it was `require()`'d in.

You cannot do that. Top-level await is forbidden because CJS require is explicitly synchronous.

> Works just fine, no `await` necessary.

I typed all of that on a phone so I erred on the side of brevity, but suppose either the Promise.all or the awaited imports depended on some result from importing foo.

> I assume this is included to imply that loading `yet` is blocked by the `await Promise.all` above it to show that import statements can run after module resolution. If this was your intent you are mistaken, that import statement is still resolved before execution begins.

I was trying to show that import statements are blocked by prior awaits. I’m not sure what you’re trying to show, but you’d need to log output after the import from foo.js to see how the asynchrony works for that import.

> No, it really isn't. From the POV of the application code it's irrelevant. This is trivially proven by the existence of module bundlers which convert non-dynamic `import` statements into one big file that doesn't do anything asynchronous to initialize.

Compare that to a non-bundled but otherwise similarly optimized app and look at the waterfall.
In other contexts, the best ways to deal with trade-offs use randomness. Perhaps this sort of stunt would cause less damage if npm just randomly chose which versions to use. To avoid churn, the random choices could be stored in lockfiles. The point would be that not everyone is using the newest version of any particular package.
Do you feel the same way about other life saving technologies such as seat belts and motorcycle helmets? What about hitting the anti lock breaks when a semi pulls out in front of you? The same philosophy can be applied to other life saving / extending measures such as adjustments to diet, or taking high blood pressure medicine.
As a kidney dialysis patient who is 6 year in the waiting list, I know the wait times have been slowly creeping up. Any bridging solution to reduce need for dialysis or even better forms of dialysis would be welcome. Despite the anti rejection medication people tell me they feel way better when they get a functional kidney.
On keeping the captable "clean", this is what Michael Siebel had to say:

> Can we kill the myth that your company is screwed if there are too many investors on your angel/seed round cap table? Having too many angel/seed investors on a cap table has never killed a single YC startup. For founders who are raising: if you can get the money you need and reduce dilution as much as possible - I don’t care if you collect 1 check or 20.

This is also a lot more realistic for hardware startups. I hope this also means we'll see more of them get funded. When you need a ventilator there's no amount of ride-sharing, delivery-service, home-renting, etc. that can save your life (sorry, could not resist).

Yes, it is a lot harder to unicorn a hardware startup. If the goal is "because it's good for the world" this should not be a barrier to entry. Not saying it is or ever was, that's simply what it feels like from the outside while looking at the VC community in general hunt for the proverbial unicorn.
Yes, and good examples are the Heartmate 2 and 3. Both have been implanted in tens of thousands of people.
> and needing boosters,

Nothing wrong with needing boosters (eg you get one multiple years apart for MMR, you get one, what every decade with Tetanus?) , but every 6 months for only reduced risk of hospitalization is quite the stretch...

And my understanding is flu vaccines give great protection of getting anything from very specific strains, and lesser effects to varyingly differences in those strains[1]. This "vaccine" doesn't give great protection to any strain, unless "protection" just means you still get covid, but not hospitalized.

It's pretty disheartening to hear you essentially say that the professionals get to redefine words to benefit themselves to the detriment of the public...

No, they'd have paid exactly what they want to. If they want the movie to make no profit, they'll charge HBO nothing, or perhaps they'd have the gall to have _HBO charge the movie studio part of warner_ a fee for showing it on HBO, perhaps filing that away as 'marketing expenses' or some similar scam. Anybody with monkey points (entitled to a cut of the net earnings) is out of luck.

Conversely if they want it to be a windfall for some reason they charge HBO idiotic amounts of money for the distro rights, which HBO will happily pay because Warner tells them to do so.

That's exactly hollywood accounting.

I have no idea if it was actually 'done' to the matrix here.
The platform can stop hosting some content immediately once consent is withdrawn, but it can't prevent that content from having already escaped.

It's probably not technically a "gray area" since the platform can't ensure the content doesn't escape. But certainly, content creators should be aware that withdrawing consent doesn't mean their content is suddenly secured.

I don’t know if it’s true that Lana W was forced to do this. I saw an interview with her and she said she needed to grieve about something and that this was what she wanted to do (or something along those lines). maybe true that WB would have done it anyway, but she didn’t seem forced.
I agree but I think we’re there (if kicking a bit and screaming a bit).
I find the size of that thing enormous. Why is that the most sold vehicle in the US? I find it almost impossible to believe all those buyers actually need to move a few tons of stuff on a regular enough basis ( weekly?) to warrant such a monstrosity with associated externalities ( pollution, fuel use for the non-electric version, and weight destroying roads for all version and even more so for the electric one).
>Though they were recorded explaining the entirety of this encounter, as is common with police, both Mitchell and Lozano lied about what happened

"I'm curious if anyone else read this story with mixed reactions."

Definitely.

There are the whole experimentation and vivisection angles that makes it potentially more abusive and agonising than slaughter, especially under the usual commercial incentives, weak jurisdictions etc. The headlines will inevitably come.
Is it really open and free if NPM can make editorial decisions that trump the repo owner, whenever they want? I think the implication of this is software packaged on NPM isn't really open source.
Yes they are. The syncardia TAH, Heartmate 2 and 3, Carmet, etc.
Dumb question: how is Hollywood accounting not fraud? I know there have numerous civil court cases over differences of "opinion" over incentive compensation calculations, but has anyone actually gone to jail?
> Modifying the package to be abusive may technically (legally) be within his rights but is certainly not ethical

Of course it's not ethical. But, publishing whatever code he wants under his name, under his projects, is well within his rights.

We are setting the precedent that users can modify the code you've published under your own name, if they don't like what you've done with it.

That is not acceptable. My users should not have hegemony over my project. They can decide to fork, they can decide not to use it. But under no circumstances should they be able to edit my project under my name.

Because that's also unethical.

> I'm not even convinced that it was legal. Had he modified the package to install a Bitcoin miner instead of just breaking apps, I suspect he'd be breaking the law.

I really doubt this. People are choosing to run his code, and choosing to update to whatever new code he publishes, regardless of the contents.

It's not like he's forcefully installing his code on anyone's machine. By enabling automatic updates of his package, developers have implicitly granted him permission to run whatever he would like on their machine.

Unethical, sure. But perfectly legal.
If it had deleted files, or extracted user password data and uploaded it to pastebin you would agree it's a Trojan, yes?

Your license agreement is not going to save you from the feds if you write code like that.

So we are arguing where the line is. From what I understand, having not run the code myself, he wrote code that put the system into an infinite loop, i.e. he intentionally caused a hang. That crosses the line in a clear way, for me.
According to Google, China only really had a problem with Covid for about one month in the beginning. Since then, country wide, cases have been in the tens per day.
Ask rather than trying to be 'smart' and out-think the end user.

Most of the other replys talk about 'Legal' names vs various levels of friendly name.

How about Mailing Address fields for snail mail? Don't decompose it, just have a full text area and store EXACTLY what the user provides. POSSIBLY toss it at a an address validation routine your postal services. Be prepared to handle an 'International' printed label where you might print a blob of text you don't understand, targeted to a country you do, and require manual processing for country, payment, and customs forms validations outside of the typical flow.

Try to show the end user examples of where and how the information will be typically used.

Never, ever, break down components of user provided input; at least not without letting them confirm if they're correct and allowing them to skip it if it isn't.
When I'm in the zone for building, debugging and testing a new system, it's pretty unlikely that I'll be smiling. Most of the time my thoughts are filled all the mistakes I have already made or are attempting to avoid making in new code. At the end of the process there's a pretty decent rush of accomplishment, but that's usually replaced by worrying about the next problem on the giant list of todos.

That said, one of last few places I worked at had a social hour every Friday at 4pm. I think that was a very good addition to the workplace that is well worth having to enable more casual team bonding on a regular basis. It serves a similar purpose as smiling at your co-workers, but is perhaps a bit less forced for those of us who have the pessimist / realist lookout on software development.

The meta aspect was a bit tedious at first, but I did enjoy how the story was set up. Neo trapped for years and years? Genius. NPH in the perfect role.
It opened early in Japan, so I watched it last month, without trailers or anything. It's best to not expect anything, then it should be perfectly enjoyable.
Yup, I'm a kidney dialysis patient waiting 6 years on the list. In theory I'm approaching the front of the list but they still need to make sure I get good compatibility so who knows. I've know people who have waited for 8-10 years!

Sounds like an incredibly toxic work culture. A manager should have stepped in to shut that senior engineer down once that got posted to Slack.

I should have never responded to someone who believed the vaccines don't work.
It's just the crap that's peddled by the government to get the votes. Scare them! First year your enemy is the current government, third year it's the gays, sixth year it's the muslims (who don't want to stay in the country at all), you sprinkle in some antisemitism (the evil jewish claims!!11) and suddenly you radicalize a fifth of the population. Oops!

Right now is probably the toughest moment for them. We have a really nice Omicron wave and their tax reform that went into effect on Jan 1st (primarily shifting money from local government, where opposition controls the largest cities, to healthcare) has failed extremely spectacularly. They ignored the whole process and the laws are overcomplicated (yet broken) crap, increasing the tax burden on most people. Oops!
The first act seemed to revolve around this feeling that the inability to accept artificial / inauthentic nature of things has grown into a source of anxiety and personal struggle whereas the original trilogy offered it as an opportunity and advantage. I thought it was a pretty solid take.

The second and third acts were mangled by a lot of unnecessary throwbacks.
Hollywood accounting isn't evil. It just operates from a not-wallstreet perspective. Did Keanu Reeves take home a paycheck? Did the director? Were all the union techs paid? Were all the contract animation and sound studios paid? The film made everyone plenty of money. That investors got screwed doesnt really phase the people who actually make movies.

Never, ever, invest in a movie. You will have better luck with lottery tickets.
During the act, yes. But I think the example here is basically: In your 20s you did some jobs as a porn star. 5 years later you want the videos scrubbed from the web. Is this within your rights?

That's what OnlyFans images are.

As someone with UC, medicine outside of prednisone has done nothing for me. Given that my disease is likely caused by something that modern science says is safe the least they could do is fix it. The pessimist in me says they make too much money.

Controlling stress and smoking have been the best fixes (the latter works but smoking is still bad for you).
FOSS doesn't mean code is in the public domain, nor does it mean that the code is held in a public trust. It is very much the property of copyright holder. If the community feels this way, then they could have done the work to develop, maintain and distribute the product themselves. They didn't do that, though. They chose to depend on the labor of someone who was not compensated for their time or work, which is a privilege. No one is entitled to the developer's time or labor.
I couldn't have imagined that the fourth would be the worst, though. Not only silly and pointless (I don't care if Neo and Trinity are together, I care about the nature of reality and the fate of humanity), but without Yuen Woo Ping, even the action was trash. I can't stand the parade of superhero movies, but I'd be hard put to think of one I wouldn't have preferred to this. I fell asleep an hour in, tried it again the next day and bailed with 15mins left.

This movie wasn't successfully either smart or dumb.

The dominant theory is that Wachowski intentionally sabotaged the film to spite the studio for some reason.
A nude isn't automatically "intimate" either. Nor is nudity the only aspect that might make an image "intimate", or even the most important one. Nor does "intimacy" capture anything remotely like all of the reasons the material might be painful or embarassing for somebody. In fact, if I were looking for something vaguely silly to be offended by, I'd suggest that it was a bad idea to tell the subjects of those images what they should consider to be intimate or why they should feel offended by the images being shared... as the use of "intimate" tends to do.

Oh, and "images" unreasonably limits the scope of the media that might be problems.

Not all of the images are shared nonconsensually, either, at least not initially. And there are all kinds of forms and layers of consent. So, if you want to be all technically correct, you probably shouldn't bring that in either.

In other words, like all terminology, "NCII" is imprecise. In fact, I think it's a true step down from "revenge porn", even if you ignore the fact that you shouldn't change terminology for trivial reasons to begin with.

It is NOT an improvement. It's people arguing over minutiae so they can feel informed, feel like they're helping, and get a rush out of "correcting" everybody else.
I'm not sure I'd call anything you did dumb or frame it that negatively.

them sending you cash without paperwork? That's more don them. The biggest risk for you is the expectation management and scope to wind it down.

Copyright is a matter of “who created it”, not “who slapped it on a blockchain first”. If I send you my new artwork and you put it up on OpenSea before I do, you still aren’t the owner, regardless of the timestamp.

tldr, Resurrections is to Matrix what Last Jedi was to Star Wars. You're either in or you're out on it.

----

I think people have fallen into two camps, and it depends how you saw the first film. I loved Matrix, not for the wire-fu, gunplay and special effects, but for all the subtext and "simulacra and simulation" of it all. It was film that very cleverly pulled together a lot concepts that had been done in 90s cinema about depersonification, reality and identity and presented them in an incredibly unique way.

If you liked Matrix for the wire-fu gunplay, Resurrections isn't your film, it does spend most of its time "shitting on the original" but that was the point. It's a deconstruction of "genre cinema" rebooting/remaking their successes to re-engage and revive a franchise.
I'm sure you can understand why our beloved parent company, Warner Brothers, has decided to make a sequel to the trilogy. They informed me they're gonna do it with or without us.
I cant edit, so I'd add this anecdata

from those i've spoken with who had the same issue I think they should add this warning for Men (especially really fit men) under 40 -- "Do not engage in strenuous exercise for 1 month after getting your 2nd dose (maybe boosters too)" . All the cases i've heard they have been exercise onset. Mine was shortly after a I returned to the gym too, albeit for weight lifting.
It wasn't backwards incompatible, it was outright designed to cause chaos. If an open source maintainer pushes an update that intentionally starts killing whatever processes it can or intentionally fills up the disk with garbage, is that not an attack? How is an update that intentionally infinite loops, printing garbage to stdout any different? There's very much someone to point a finger at: he went out of his way to cause chaos.

Does that mean corporations have no responsibility? No. But it's also the case that we live in a society and your ability to wreak havoc because you can shouldn't be empowered.
Author here, part of the reason I want to disassociate myself with my assigned at birth last name is for trauma reasons.

Resumes cannot be assessed without regard to sex. Which educational institution you attended is a very revealing data point (i. e. it's approximately certain that a man won't go to an all-women educational institution and vice versa), as is the combination of your other education, interests, skills and volunteering experience. It's not enough to identify everyone, but a large chunk of applicants can be unmasked this way.

As for tech interviews: at some point it will have to be a face to face meeting or a video call. You literally cannot disguise male/female here unless you enforce the use of masks, voice changers, and make it difficult to see the remainder of the body (hair, posture, physical size, shape, gait).
it depends on what your skillset really is and what areas you're interested in for your phd.

pure theory (finite automata, complexity, computational geometry, optimization)? yea you're probably locked out by virtue of competing against students that have the relevant theory fresher in their heads. note i didn't list ML there because i personally don't consider ML theory heavy (no matter what the wannbes will claim wrt to TDA or whatever).

basically in any other area, if you have true hard skills (e.g., deep systems knowledge, networks, graphics) then you're competitive as long as you have a decent ugrad GPA and can get a decent GRE and some decent letters of rec. the path looks like reaching out to a potential advisor and starting a conversation with them about whatever research of theirs you find interesting.
