> Even as far as US College teams the team shouldn't just be composed of really good players. There should also be randomly selected college students in the team.

This depends on your goals. Are you trying to build the best single team you can? Or are you trying to build the best repository of skill in that sport in the population at large? Or maybe something else? I bet you'd construct different team compositions depending on how you answer those questions. Ditto for the musicians.
The title of this article is pure misinformation. These are not "near crashes".
Monitoring my calories was one of the best things I have ever done.
I had weird issues like this too. Constantly having to restart 1Password Mini for the keyboard shortcut to work, etc.

I'm using Enpass now and it works great.
Why do people keep down voting me?
With "ECDSA" I meant the original NIST ECDSA standard. It is, objectively, a bad standard. ECDSA as originally specified required the use of random numbers in signature generation; the RFC6979 approach may interoperate just fine and be a better idea, but it is not FIPS 186-4 compliant. If you have to break standards compliance to avoid security pitfalls, the standard is bad.

It's not just about specifying more of the standard either. EdDSA is designed to be harder to screw up an implementation of, by construction.
I would amend dysfunctional to any-functional. Like a really good friendship can do lasting damage to one's ability to level up in life. Plus we are looking at upsides too, like pro-whatever-function for dial-a-learning-experience granularity.

Lots of weird but true facts leading into the ahem, streams of consciousness. It goes really deep and winds around for very good reason. Inventing words you and I can share here is brainutationally expensive, concision with existing words often requires mutual expertise, so path-forging with general wording is made rough and ready; get a heavy machete.
It's unfortunate seeing esghound linked here. The person is a well known troll of Musk companies and has a vendetta against them with a huge axe to grind.
I’m likely in the minority here, but I am grumpy enough to completely ignore what look like otherwise entertaining shows when they’re released with the artificial scarcity model. Waiting a week for each episode was required by technological necessity in the days of broadcast TV, but on a streaming platform it just feels like the provider is giving me the finger. “I could give you all the episodes now, because they’re all completed and waiting for me to press this button, here, but I won’t. Why? Well, a part of it is because I’m afraid that you’ll cancel if you exhaust all our content, and I want to use psychological tricks to make you stick around due to an fear of missing out, but really, if I’m honest, it’s just because I like messing with people and I enjoy their displeasure, doubly so when I cause it.”
PKD is a gold mine of stories for the screen.

I doubt you even have anecdotal evidence.
Find a good private school, sell the house. It's nice to be a paying customer with that leverage and choice again.

If there is an ion blast sufficient to wipe all electronic storage devices on earth, won't the associated radiation also be fatal to a large percentage of the population?
Eh, on reddit it seems that the content of the post doesn't matter much at all and that links are simply titles for starting a discussion on site.
Some of the stuff that was stolen was paid for by hard working law abiding Americans. This wasn't Robin Hood mugging the sheriff.
Insurance premiums will go up and guess who's footing the bill...
For kids always playing on their phones, this might be good.
For others maybe they don't need this. // May I suggest as a buyer of many games for kids, that your pricing model means an instant and permanant NO from my household. Signing up for stuff takes effort and memory, not getting to own what I paid for sucks. $50 a year (more than that price in AU) is crazy. I can buy 10 good kids games for that. Another reason: pricing model requires continual engagement, which means lots of 'rewards'and flashy lights and emotional triggers - no thanks.
Love your focus and commitment, especially the 2 hours a day every weekday for nine months streak.

I'm going to try building a similar discipline with my side projects. Not much would get done in 1 day obviously, but the amount of things that can get done over a longer timeframe like 6-12 months is huge!

Thank you and wish you the best!
I feel like you almost need some kind of eating disorder these days. Our Bread, milk, meat is all unnatural and mass produced, there is a massive amount of sugar in everything. If you aren’t actively monitoring your food intake and making deliberate decisions to not eat your gonna be unhealthy.

I like the quote: “keep whatever addictions kill you the slowest”. I think a minor eating disorder is preferable to eating 100s of grams of sugar every day.
Thanks for pointing that out. Several years ago, I had a small server running PHP - I had to patch it 3 times in 4 months. It spent more time with patches than I spent rewriting it from scratch.

I just checked the PHP CVEs, amd it seems it has gone quite a while without high scoring CVEs - so, good for them
SPF/DKIM/DMARC is just plain hostile
This service only supports images, pdfs, and small QR codes?
Ah, thanks for responding. I was in a cynical mood and probably came across somewhat rude.
Do you have any problems with email delivery (being marked as spam) using this technique?
> Wow that is a bad take.

> > virus checkers - slowing down workstations for minimal benefit.

> Being able to stop known malware is a significant benefit.

Having been part of a malware debacle that essentially circumvented two different av/malware tools it's hard for me to find a pragmatic balance to the year's worth of absolute hell the tooling caused to the systems I'm responsible for. (Log bombing, HDD I/O stackups, chained immune responses and deadlocks to literally nothing) +25% or more resource consumption _just_ to keep the AVs happy.

Couple that with needlessly aggressive IT policy (see Mordac, the preventer of IT services on steroids)

There's got to be a better way, but maybe this is the new normal.
It's only weird because it's public. Every other big company has this on their internal wiki
Uh oh, I think I have one of these. I somehow have my own custom domain pointing to gmail, for free, that I don't actually remember how I even got it, I've had it for years, but never have paid for it. That's all I do with this... whatever it is, email on a custom domain, I don't use anything else.

I didn't receive any email this morning notifying me about it though.

I guess maybe it's finally time to move to fastmail. I'm not giving up a custom domain email address. I don't like that I'll lose access to giant archive of received email.

Is there a way to export all my archive/inbox from gmail? Import into fastmail? It looks like... maybe. But the fact that I'm trying to keep the same domain is going to complicate things maybe, since I can't easily have them both active at once to import from one to the other.
Lobsters is a good one. (You need an invite.)

And I'm a member of some slacks that are just killer in terms of content and discussion.

Too bad about the memory hole.
If 6% of schools have a G&T programme surely that proves a tiny minority of students are enrolled? It's not like honors or AP classes are targeted at top 10% or 5% students.
One thing that can be added - is this person working in a regulated industry? For instance, does your company have to follow a controlled design, manufacturing and verification process and have things documented properly along the way? Do you have to adhere to industry standard not because it's a good practice but because the law requires it?

If not, I would say the work is likely not engineering. You can use Auto-CAD tool but there is a difference between 3D printing a spoon and designing a bridge. Likewise, just because one uses programming tools, it doesn't mean that the work is engineering.
A highly addictive habit. If 99% of smokers could enjoy one cigarette a day with morning coffee or afternoon drink then smoking would never become a big issue. Most of them end up with 1-2 packs a day damaging theirs and their family health.
Yeah, I agree, I don't think it's a good construction even in the field. It's always more clear and less annoying as a reader if it says "it follows from some math that" or something like that.
I think you misinterpreted that. Prolog does has an if operator -> as in ( P -> If ; Else ) yes, but oldsecondhand said :-

"predicateA is true" if "clauseB is true" and "clauseC is true".

or in prolog

predicateA :-
clauseB,
clauseC.

so :- is if, just in it's own, Prolog-y way.
Always curious about book recommendation sites. If you don't mind sharing, how much revenue and traffic does your site generate?
I think the difference is one of disposal and retry.

In physical engineering, you really get one chance. If you make a mistake or miscalculation, there is a cost associated with undoing what's been done, as well as trying again.

In software, there is no such additional cost. You can trivially start from scratch, or any point between scratch and here, at any given time. There is no disposal cost.
I meant “paid off its advance through royalties”. Sorry!

Everyone’s path is different, but generally speaking, if you publish enough blog posts (especially on LinkedIn), someone from a content shop will notice and ask you to write a book or create a course. Both flows are similar, but I’ve only done courses and can speak to that in detail.

You propose a course. The content manager you work with decides if it fits their learning plan or whether there is demand for that kind of material. If they think people will view the course, you’ll be asked to come up with a course summary. DevOps and Kubernetes are super hot right now, so these were easy for me to think up.

Here, you’ll pitch the course. What is it? Who’s meant to view it? What will you cover? This gets reviewed. If it looks good, you’ll be given a producer, and they will ask you to write scripts.

Sometimes the content manager will ask for a demo of how you’d present a course. Here, they want to see whether you have enough “presence” to instruct. Sometimes they’ll provide feedback for you to fix, but this didn’t happen in my case.

You’ll also get an advance, with the first half being paid out around this time. These advances aren’t like the music industry where you use the money to pay for production and marketing. It’s literally money in your pocket.

Script writing can take FOREVER. especially the first time. It took me three months to write enough scripts for a two hour course. There’s a lot of back and forth. Since my courses are very hands-on, I also write lots of code and test everything while putting the scripts together. Very difficult to do all of this with a full-time job, doubly so when that job is demanding!

Once the scripts are cleared, you’ll be asked to record. There are lots of different ways this can go. Mine are audio-only with a terminal walkthrough, so I just recorded and screen capped everything. Some courses have live-action and acting. These require studios. I haven’t done one of these yet, so I can’t speak to it.

Beta testing happens after recording. People internally go through your course and make sure that everything gels. Sometimes you’ll need to fix stuff after this.

Once beta tests complete, your course goes live and starts racking views! You also get the other half of your advance.

You get paid royalties for every learner who views your course. I don’t know the specifics of this, but it’s kind of like YouTube’s ad platform. However, you don’t earn anything until the grand sum of your royalties exceeds the advance you were given. Depending on how your course performs, this can either never happen or it can happen very quickly.
> The notion that changes in interest rates, which generally correlate with inflation, would alter the price of stocks is not obvious to me. Not sure what mechanism you would propose that would cause that to happen.

Higher rates -> reduced accessibility of personal credit -> lower spending -> lower corporate revenue -> higher cost of borrowing -> higher cost of debt service -> lower profits -> stock price

Rates act as a global parameter that impacts performance of companies differently, with the consensus understanding that it impacts debt-fuelled (or what we now usually call growth) companies the most.
I believe obesity is also type of eating disorder, just towards the opposite direction to something like anorexia. Binge-eating disorder is the term used in academic studies to understand some of the underlying psychology for a part of the obesity crisis.
The Sackler family pushed opioids onto middle America in a rather spectacular fashion. In any functioning society - including with a death penalty - they’d be contending with the harshest possible penalty. Just not in America.
If rates are going to rise, is it better to hold cash and use loans for purchases such as land, or is it better to pay cash up front now and invest the cash in money market funds or other financial instruments?
> Its heartbreaking that we offer those services primarily to children who are academically exceptional.

It is far more heartbreaking seeing those resources wasted on the comparatively incapable. You can bring a student to math, but you can't make him/her learn. Moreover it guts both our national competitiveness and eschews meritocracy in favor of classism, where the have's can privately acquire those services.
Considering that Netflix’s ToS and Apple’s Family Sharing both say that they’re only meant for people in the same household, I don’t see “Apple might fear getting sued” as an issue.
you mention "group immunity" that means natural immunity and vaccine immunity.

immunity means the body will be immune to the virus.

the injections do not provide immunity.

its hard to run a small to medium business these days:

- its not possible to know if there will be a lockdown X hours from now. (business must close)

- employees that feel perfectly fine are subjected to testing that might come false positive (yes this is possible with pcr). then employees take days off (boss cant know how many employees will show up).

how is it possible to run a business under such conditions ? if its a restaurant, the food might expire.

at the same time the too big to fail are open as 'essential' business. and receive bail outs if needed.

thats a disfunctional capitalism.
And Japanese also makes extensive use of SVO or OVS and similar, eg 本はよんだ、君が？
I met a guy that was in the "security business" he said he shot someone and had to move 10 states over because the guy he shot has family that finds him occasionally and does drive by shootings every now and then. Be careful about getting into that business.
I either get a voicemail, text message, or keep the number in my mental contact list.
This culture of radical openness must be quite refreshing for people inside the company.

A lot of companies would never want this sort of thing to be out in the open. But really, why not? I imagine it helps to keep things sensible if you know that a thousand eyes could be trawling over your employee policies. You're certainly not going to be promoting astroturfing or other undesirable activities.

At the same time, you aren't burdened with deciding what to share. Many (most?) companies tie themselves in knots trying to decide what to share, and end up sharing nothing.

Sharing everything means less time spent deciding what to share and more time developing the stuff in the first place.
Most also don't do conscience
You're right, that's awesome.
Absolutely. True story: I was at a small startup and our company organically made it to Hacker New's front page. I was so excited. At that point, I was only a reader. I made an account, upvoted it, told our social media manager. Next thing I knew, it fell off the front page and we suspected I or the manager accidentally set off the fake vote detector. We had no idea such a thing even existed. The CEO was so disappointed in us. We learned the hard way.

Edit: to be clear, I wasn't trying to game the system. I was just so excited that the product I'd been working on appeared on a site I often read. Only in retrospect did it occur to me why one would have anti-vote ring detectors. Yes, I was naive.
Rather, Craig had no idea what the conversation was even about.
It seems that lately, questioning the "doctors" in public places can make you a pariah (and I won't go any further with that).

On another note, I was prescribed a medicine 20 years ago called Propulsid. When I went to fill the prescription, the pharmacist told me that he would not recommend I take it. I contacted the doctor and he was pissed that the pharmacist had given me that recommendation. In the end I didn't take it, which is a good thing because it was removed from the market several years later for causing heart issues.

>WARNING

>Serious cardiac arrhythmias including ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, torsades de pointes, and QT prolongation have been reported in patients taking cisapride.

In medicine doctors are now “providers” no different than nurse practitioners, physician assistants, RN, PT, pharmacists etc. it’s the opposite, leveling everyone to the lowest common denominator
Having been through maybe a dozen of these over the last decades, my experience says that when all costs/hours/conversations are added up it’s going to be cheaper and maintain those relationships better if you simply bill your friends and family so everyone can stay with Gmail.

And my advice: If you go that way, charge them automatically by CC every month and add a 30% markup to cover inevitable extra costs like footing the bill when someone cancels unexpectedly.
> Use gamification to keep your child on track. Your child chooses a virtual pet (called a Doter) to feed, wash, and grow. When they complete the real-life activities assigned to them, their Doter grows and levels-up in the game helping your child visualize their own progress.

Shouldn't that be dotee? One who is doted upon. By a doter.
Why not 1850s? )) I am sure even in the 80s and 90s there were plenty of smokers in the movies

What's the trickiest statistical method you employ that isn't embedded in this model?
Well said.

It is so easy for an entire company to come off as "tone deaf" in a public forum due to avoidable errors.

Smart people deserve to be allowed to speak in places like HN. GitLab has gotten it pretty darn right in creating a some guidance for such people, AND by making the guidance public.

This document looks less like guidance for gaming a system and more like instructions for being respectful to an influential community, but that's just my read.
People have to understand that people are conflicted. They desire things that are impossible. They want justice, they want peace, but they don't want to accept that you need force to achieve a balance. There is no utopia. Japan is "peaceful" and it's near homogenous (at least psychologically --and that's what matters) so the racism bugaboo doesn't rear its head, never the less to achieve this stasis the justice system is even worse than the beleaguered US justice system.

So after a while, people forgo their ideals and revert to the hard reality and elect someone like a Duterte who promised to clean up and he did -and but for the affected families, for the most part took the bargain. People will put up with only so much insecurity. Most tyrannies don't put up with petty crimes either because petty crimes can move people to seek change.
I thought it was play to earn.
Not sure why this one page was picked from this website but to say the very least: this is the "bright side" and gets talked about quite often, many resources are available one way or another.

But the "dark side" is https://www.nagc.org/resources-publications/resources-parent... and notice how shorter it is but I would argue it is just as important to get help on the "left behind" areas than it is to get help on the areas which are "ahead". Wish I had.

Thats the "official" G&T program statistic. I don't know anything about the requirements to be on that list, but perhaps it is onerous? My claim (unsupported) is there are plenty of schools that run G&T programs that are not on that list of 6% that, if counted, would raise the percent dramatically- perhaps to the 75% level? I don't know.
I like listening to the original audio of foreign movies and it's partly how I learned English, and how I pick up random words from languages I can't really speak.

I also respect actors and actresses enough to appreciate their performance includes their original voices.

I'm a fast reader and subtitles are like a second nature to me, to the point I don't "remember" having read them (likewise I sometimes don't remember if I read a novel in English or Spanish unless a particular turn of phrase caught my attention).

About the only thing I agree with is that dubbing (barring some honorable exceptions) sucks. I did listen to a part of La Casa de Papel's English dub -- the horror!

In short: do not want this.
Encode your data in pyramids! Presence of a pyramid = 1, absence = 0. Hope the data format still makes sense in 8000 years!
I really like this, but I wish I could write my own questions. For example -

1. Do you offer a 4d work week?
2. Do you offer parental leave? How much? How long after starting do you become eligible for it?
3. How many days of PTO do you get per year?

I imagine that some of these questions are pretty specific to me, hence my hope that you could add custom questions.
>I have yet to meet anyone advocating for ID to vote who actually wants to address these by both making said ID free for all Americans

I've seen the opposite, not a single person who wants voter ID is against making it freely available to those who can't afford it. In fact, voter ID is already required in a number of states, and not only are there free options available in those states (because it would be a poll tax otherwise), but voter ID's in those states have not shown to decrease minority turnout in elections.

It's a completely fake issue.
Presumption of innocence when determining guilt.

But you’re not put in jail before trial because you’re guilty, it’s to keep the public safe and/or make sure you don’t flee.
If you live without a vehicle in a rural corner of your state, compelling you to travel to somewhere else in order to get a state-sanctioned ID is, IMO, an undue burden.

If you are required to have documents and paperwork for a voter ID that you are not otherwise required to have, that is, IMO, an undue burden.

I have no problem with the state saying "you must have this document in order to vote" (it even makes a limited amount of sense, despite being a solution in search of a problem). I do have a problem with the state doing anything other than ensuring that every resident who should that document gets it with minimal effort (preferably zero).
The Social Media Guidelines part of this really resonates with me. Whoever wrote it is trying to improve the quality of discourse and not just generate traffic to their service.
High Fructose Syrup is the one I'm holding out hope on.

Social Media consumption is another.
I have long suspected that all the doctors and studies that confirm that vaping is a perfectly safe alternative are to be taken with a similar grain of salt.
