More likely, crows could game it by breaking up litter into smaller pieces to get more credit for the same work, or going after easier pickings that don't count as litter and don't need to be removed (rocks, twigs).

Example of dolphins doing the first trick:

>> Kelly [the dolphin] has taken this task one step further. When people drop paper into the water she hides it under a rock at the bottom of the pool. The next time a trainer passes, she goes down to the rock and tears off a piece of paper to give to the trainer. After a fish reward, she goes back down, tears off another piece of paper, gets another fish, and so on.

Yes. You can do this without knowing about or modifying the applications. There was a big push for hardware consolidation a decade or so ago, where legacy apps were crammed on to fewer and fewer machines, and were cheaper/faster/more reliable as a result.

However, a permanent machine failure or unexpected reboot implies a few seconds or minutes of downtime.

These systems usually use a local disk, a synchronously updated disk across town (low latency, but on a different power grid, outside most natural disaster blast radii), and a far away asynchronously updated disaster recovery disk.

The disaster recovery disk provides a crash-consistent state that's less than a few seconds out of date.

These days, the "disks" tend to be deduped and compressed SSD's that use parity encoded raid. Their hardware cost is lower than a single copy on ext4, but they come with an enterprise tax / support contract, etc.

In practice, it's durable unless corporate HQ is wiped out. If that happens, it won't be the weak link in your business continuity plan (but a few customers' orders might've been dropped).

This stuff is tremendously unsexy, but it'll plug along just fine until you have some workload that can't be partitioned, and that needs more than roughly 40-100gbit of network/disk bandwidth, 128 cores, or 1TB of DRAM.

(Edit: Forgot to mention that the the apps run inside a VM infrastructure that supports live migration.)
> Social media is just a basic telecom utility service.

No it's not, not even close. Facebook is very different from TikTok, Pinterest, Twitter, Reddit and Snapchat. They're quite obviously not some manner of the equivalent of an universal pipe or utility.

If your premise were correct, you'd be able to swap them out for eachother; you'd be able to just run TikTok on Facebook and nobody would care about the difference. Instead, none of them fulfills that premise of basic utility, none of them makes all of the other social media platforms possible or irrelevant (Facebook can't do what Pinterest does; Facebook can't actually do what TikTok does, even if it would like to; and everybody would notice if all the other social networks vanished, precisely because Facebook can't do what they do).

Facebook is less important thank people have been hyping it to be (for their own ideological agenda reasons). TikTok has more than demonstrated that, and the thriving nature of all the rest of the social media landscape has also nicely demonstrated that. In fact the only real problem is that Facebook owns Instagram, otherwise it'd be out there as another separate mega platform. Facebook also can't do what Instagram does, which is why they had to buy them and are terrified of having to spin it off (another case where Facebook is clearly not a utility).

Just because Facebook can potentially store the same bits that Instagram does, doesn't mean it can provide the same service (first of all, you can't get users to go along with that for all sorts of reasons). Those are two very different things. Otherwise Google would have successfully built a juggernaut social platform, instead of failing repeatedly at it.
If you have 0 passion for programming and land a gig at a corp that doesn't care about code quality at all, you could do that job for few years and just coast/do bare minimum.

I'm an IC and I could deliver software with all methods in a single class, nobody would care I think, as long as it worked as intended. I happen to like programming and as I am improving my skills every time I touch an existing project I look for things I could have done better. If major changes are being made, I often upgrade frameworks or do a partial rewrite to improve things.

I know people who just do stuff without trying to understand why. If I cannot explain why I am using dependency injection and what problem it solves, I am not doing it correctly.

Couldn't you say every inhumanity in history is a case of "expectation management?" Women should expect to be subservient to their husbands! Protestants should expect to be executed if they don't convert to Catholicism! The poor should expect to starve to death in the streets if they get sick! Sounds like it's just a case of expectation management to me!

Depends. Most of the merchant decides. However for "premium" brands the manufacture sets the price and won't let you go below it.

Weber grills rarely go on sale or clearance because you need permission to do so. Menards near me often has 11% rebate on everything sales - they do not sell Weber grills. Home Depot matches Menards 11% rebate on everything, except things Weber grills where they are not allowed to discount.

I know of one case where a golf store threw in a free hat with the full price purchase of an expensive putter. The customer was an undercover agent for the putter company and the store no longer got more product from that company.

I know there are a lot more examples, but I don't know them.
Probably not the advice you're looking for, but looks like you have a blog also and am assuming that some/many of your subscribers also look at your blog. So, you may want to use your blog to spread the word about losing your page so that your subscribers know what's happening and you don't lose many of them.

In addition, while you should keep looking at ways to recover your FB page, but you may want to take this opportunity to create a more traditional forum of your own.

You may want to look at AVSForum.com, Home-Barista.com and others for ideas on how to structure very successful traditional review/forum sites and while it may be more effort initially as you'll have to build it yourself, in the long run it may be more fruitful for you.

Either ways, Good Luck!!
I have a mostly positive opinion on the CDC and I wonder if some of the problems are a result of political influence?

The WHO and their fight against the idea that COVID is airborne is even more confusing to me. It felt like they didn't even want the idea discussed.
>Yes, you wouldn't be building a steam engine with the tools of Greek artisans in antiquity, not even the ones who built the Antikythera mechanism.

The Greeks had steam engines.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeolipile

It's just that slaves were vastly cheaper. In Britain early steam engines were price competitive with horses only at the coal mine for the first century of their operation.
90%+ worked in farming, and in farming depending on the climate over the year you had months with nothing to do vs months with 16 hours of work a day. The whole system was designed around making sure few people starved and work was distributed around somewhat sensibly with such wild seasonal swings of labour shortage and surplus.

So yeah, DIY all the way.

Where would they go? Amazon is where the customers are. This is the problem.
And Elixir/Erlang is actually more imperative and stateful than some other functional languages, because of the process model. Sending messages imposes an ordering on the receiver's state. One way you can think of a mailbox is as a continuously-updating imperative program that runs on the "CPU" of its process.
This is very wrong. Neither USSR nor Russia really did/do think this way as a general rule. Human life is valued a lot.
Not as hard as you think if you try.

People often just don't think about "how long does it take to do X?"

At one startup I worked at the CEO wanted to try "hackathon" style development and have us try to knock something out in two hours.

This was a system that had a back end written in Scala and a front end using Typescript and React. I told the CEO that it took 20 minutes to go from zero to docker images ready to run (I knew because I kept notes) so at best we could do six iterations in that time. The CTO said, "No way it takes that long".

I stepped back at this point and we all agreed we'd go ahead and see what happens.

It really took 18 minutes.

Whenever I've felt pressured and "under the gun" I've taken notes about what the process is and where the time actually goes.
It is parallel in the sense that you can decode 4-6 instructions in parallel, yes. It is not parallel in the sense that variable length decoding requires each of your decoders to talk to the other ones to coordinate on instruction length boundaries, which means there is going to be a lot of serial logic in your decoder circuit.
Interview pressure is nothing like an emergency. I'm cool as a cucumber in an emergency. Hell, I kind of love them. Interviews are another thing entirely.

[EDIT] What I'd liken an interview to isn't an emergency, but a date, a visit to the bank for a mortgage application when you're very much not sure whether you'll get it, participating in a talent show, and shopping for a car, all rolled in to one. That's closer to what it is, than an emergency. That also makes it very unlike nearly all activity anyone engages in at work, emergency or routine, social or solo, except for certain high-pressure sales or top executive jobs, maybe.
Cool. Now:

A book on agricultural developments post-antiquity to the industrial revolution would be a far more immediate source of power. Less starving -> more surplus -> more specialization of labor and societal development -> goto(1).

The article talks a lot about how there's little or no evidence showing benefits of masking for kids, and also talks a lot about the unknown long-term effects of masking on kids. However, as with so many articles trying to make a point or persuade people, it barely mentions at all the unknown long-term effects of covid.

I'm willing to be persuaded by evidence, but (for me) any piece that fails to address such an obvious counterpoint immediately loses a great deal of credibility.
> It doesn’t hit you at first. It tastes just as plain and feels just as slippery as the other three cartridges. In just a few milliseconds, though, a very sour taste invades your taste buds.

What chemical is causing that? Because I don’t think you can explain that with denatnonium. Or maybe extreme stimulation can cause some kind of intra-gustatory synesthesia in some people. Or it’s a cultural thing, like we had to import the concept of umami from Japanese, where they in turn often use the same word for green and blue.
Warhammer 40k has a similar joke. Orks think purple is the sneakiest color. Why? Well, have you ever seen a purple Ork? Didn't think so.

An average worker in Ancient Rome is not really comparable to a worker in a modern country (e.g he likely would had spent >50% of his income on food, so equivalent wage would probably below the minimum wage in US).

The prices in Diocletian's degree don't really make much sense, e.g. for 40 Denarii you could buy ~5 pounds of beef or only 8 pounds of rye/barley. So likely the price for tunics is quite a bit higher than the real market price. Based on 1st AD prices/wages a tunic cost 15 sestertii which is equal to around 3-4 days wage (a "worker" likely earned ~ 4 sestertii per day)
I don’t have any direct firsthand experience with France, but given the state of politics in France with regards to Islam, that does not surprise me.

Given this thing is only 4000 light years I way I'd like to know if there's any chance of it causing some kind of apocalypse at some point. I guess if it's a magnetar the gamma-ray-burst-producing event in its life is already past?

Substack should decide, and ultimately laws do. European laws are already in favor platform responsibility. It's an ongoing research of course, we are figuring it out, but Substack's approach of shrugging responsibility is not tenable.

In a democracy what is harmful and what is not is decided by the public, and ideally that public should be well-informed and educated, if not, you have a different problem you must fix. For example the United States is far from an ideal democracy, it is a flawed democracy. When a few people are allowed to manipulate a lot of people to get rich or powerful you have a flawed system. That's what Substack allows as well. And it's not right. Never will be.
It's not about private companies. I have an account at a private bank and am not afraid of something like this happening at all. Because to the bank I'm not just an abstract "username and password": the account is tied to my real world identity, so in the last resort I'll prove to the bank that I'm me using state provided means. I'm getting more and more convinced that online accounts important to people's livelihood (like gmail where you have tons of important stuff) should work the same way, as a contract tied to your real world identity, and in doubt resolve things by webcam call or personal appointment.
Griggs v Ohio made employer IQ tests unlawful, so employers started requiring college degrees. With the push to "give everyone a degree", standards have dropped so now employers can no longer use a degree as a filter for IQ. Thus: leetcode interviews.

The solution is to overturn Griggs v Ohio.
Yikes! Clearly this is post of a bigger scam with that “Verification“ message. Wild that they do nothing about it.

Woodblock printing was invented in the 7th century in Tang China.

The prerequisite for economic printing is paper, and the tech tree for paper is reproducible from Roman conditions. The production of vellum is measured in years, scribes were barely the limiting factor on text production.

The thing is that this issue predates LLVM. It just feels like the sort of thing that would have been brought up really really early in the process, like as soon as anyone used it for any real world project.

I imagine it's not straightforward, just seems like the effort would have started earlier.
Not that I know of, but I doubt any company will ever want to come out and say "hey btw we don't like revealing images of women associated with our product". It'd be something they request of their ad partners, in this case Google, and I'd imagine it'd be something companies would want to keep under wraps. No need to expose themselves to unneeded controversy.

But we do know that many companies do feel that way, which is why many companies try to create a "family friendly" image. And as Google has said themselves, why many don't want to be associated with "non family friendly" images
I'm a little older, and I also do leetcode for fun/practice and find I get a lot out of it.

Have not done a leetcode-style interview yet, and might never do, and might not pass if I do do, but just as a scratching post for your coding claws I think it's awesome.

I don't know if he is racist or not. I do believe that he pushes racist values and beliefs. For example, this article he wrote, which is basically just a collection of dig whistles: https://www.cnsnews.com/commentary/ben-shapiro/ben-shapiro-c...

He makes this statement in that article: "Any incident of white-cop-on-black-suspect violence must be chalked up to the racist system" -- as an attempt to discredit system racism. Only those on the far right believe this. I don't believe Ben himself believes this, but I do believe that he understands that his target market loves it. It's an absurd statement.

The whole article completely misses what system racism is about and why its a useful construct to eliminate racism. Again, Ben seems like a relatively bright guy who I think probably actually understands it. I think that his financial interest is in not understanding, convoluting it, and selling to a group that is willing to suck this up.

The old timey values group wants us to stop talking about all this race stuff. Blacks have it better now than ever before -- what more do they want?! And don't get them stated on the gays and Muslims. But Shapiro pushes it in a way that outright racists can read it and say, "Hey this respectable guy says what I think -- except he uses Harvard JD words to say it!"
Hello, Microcontroller
Ok great, how about for the people of current working generations? The purchasing power of the minimum wage peaked in 1970. And that's using the official inflation data, which means the real purchasing power is even lower.

You can be full-stack with minimal JS knowledge, if you use stuff like Blazor. Lack of knowledge about sync/async would be inexcusable for a mid/senior though.
I'm sorry that this happened to you. What i am about to propose is not a solution for you for now unfortunately. But maybe something to help for the future...Have you considered starting a new presence for yourself and your community on the fediverse (e.g. mastodon, pleroma, diaspora, friendica, etc.)?? This will take work and time of course and maybe not all members will follow you over, but if you start a new community on one of the existing fediverse instances - or even better and more resilient, start your own instance - then facebook or other entities will not be able to let this happen to you/your community again. (Granted you can of course get hacked in your new world, encounter negativity, etc...But you will likely be in better position to do something more for yourself than what FB is/isn't doing.)

Step 1: Research the topic of the fediverse, and specifically find options for you to sign up for accounts...Yes, plural acounts...so you can get a flavor for the differnce in apps, instances, existing communities and so on. "Try" before you "buy". See also site like: https://fediverse.party/en/fediverse

During this step, if you can still access the legacy FB community/page as a participant, inform your peers that you're trying this fediverse thing out, and if they're interested in experimenting with you. The more that can go along for the ride, the merrier!

Step 2: Sign up for a couple of different accounts, join some existing communities. No need to be shady nor too secretive, be honest with folks that you're testing the waters...and of course be respectful; that helps new members. Get familiar with using the tech (since there are nuances and differences to how conventional social media typically operates, new vocabularies, etiquette)... Do not research about setting up your own instance...just get comfy being a regular user, and understanding the rhythms of the fediverse. And, if some members from the legacy FB page did in fact join you in this experiment, ask them what they think so far.

Step 3: Decide which community to stay with in the fediverse (maybe re-create your "true"/"final" account), and then start inviting community members from legacy FB page. I should clarify that like FB, you are not restricted to only 1 community...you can join as many places as you wish.

Optional Step 4: After some time, if you're really into the fediverse, want more freedom, etc...Research setting up your instance/community...or look for providers that you pay for managing the infrastructure for you. Nothing is free - you either invest time/money managing system yourself or pay someone else to do it for you.

Good luck, and again, sorry that this happened to you in the first place!
