Didn't think about that, and I did sometimes put the mask on outside for comfort!
This comment bothered me for a few reasons:

1. Masterclass is $20/month. The "masses" can absolutely afford it. It's not really a barrier for entry.

2. There's tons of free lecture content already. Khan Academy is a great example and it'll actually dive deeper than a short episodes.

3. If you're an American, $20/month is laughable for an education. Getting a post-secondary education is like getting a mortgage.

4. Why do we have to knock on highly produced commercial edutainment? It is not a threat to any other form of education by any stretch. At least someone watching this may get inspired or motivated to keep learning more Math.

If we think about it jetpacks, jet-wingsuites and similar are all expensive, hard and dangerous to use technology with very little practical use.

So if you are not in a super hero movie where even heros with a supposedly normal human body tend to have an absurdly sturdy body there is just but much rain why we should care.

Which isn't that people aren't trying, I mean France parades a hoverboard based scout, looks impressive, but I dubt the practical use of it (loud, due to instability can't hit anything, wind kills it, can probably be killed by any random camera drone, camera drone do the job better)
I think this is just late stage capitalism. The ideology will have to die off for this momentum to stop.
Immediate mode is such an outdated approach for a modern UI framework. It's a deal-breaker imo.

Captain Obvious checking in, it's more like they really don't want an independent auditor. People focusing on their compensation are not looking deep enough, there's probably some preferred vendor or other grifting going on that leads back to a family member.

The source code is in Rust. But the compilation target is WASM instruction set.
The city has an independent auditor. It's a mid-sized firm in a sizable metro with a bunch of CPAs. Literally no incentive to lie on an audit of a tiny township with a miniscule budget.
Certainly my circle is wealthier, but it is a major city and any mandates would apply city-wide. Rural areas have even fewer COVID restrictions. Please point me to a school district in the United States that has had no in-person option this school year.

I think the chain of logic in support of the idea is supposed to go like this:

Faith in necessary institutions is needed to keep them running. The institutions are deemed necessary because they keep #6734 and people like them safe. You owe #6734 et al. safety as part of the social contract. Therefore the institutions are owed your faith.

The assumptions beyond that I think are:

-The institutions actually keeps them safe (and not just feeling safe)

OR

-The institution only really keeps them feeling safe, but feeling safe is the actual value here worth preserving.

AND

-This social contract is in your best interests because it will be upheld for you too.

This was before OOP and "overabstraction" really took off and distorted our perception of how much code is actually necessary to accomplish something. It's important to remember that Kernighan and the others who worked on it at the time weren't really "code-golfing"; this was just their normal "code density".
Is there a reason that the DEL command wouldn’t work? Is there some semantic difference with expire?

I was kind of like you and after honest reflection I concluded that I wasn't motivated to do things because I had no one to share experiences and the fruits of my labour with.

You say you have "No relationships. No family. No activism. No religion" - personally, for me, this created a nihilistic despondency. Are you lonely? Are you happy with this situation?

You also mention certain goals/activities that you would like to peruse and label them as beneficial. I would like to humbly suggest that you pick goals that have a practical impact on you.

I don't really know how to express this but IMO watching documentaries and reading books is, for practical purposes, entertainment unless they have some applicability to your life.

For me personally, I came to the conclusion that although I liked the theoretical idea of knowing more things, I lacked the motivation to peruse them if they lacked relevance to my life.

I mean if you want to argue to close all indoor dining rooms, that's a case you could try to make. I disagree, but at least it'd be a consistent thing to argue for. Opening dining rooms, but then requiring everyone to wear a mask while they walk from the door to the table is pure theater that does nothing at all.
I thought that was kerosene, not diesel. Same process should work for though.

Does Selenium have a trace log generator that will dump out all events? I.e. all element creation on the page, matching, etc.

I'm not familiar with it specifically, but that's my go-to starting place in weird automation issues like that. Normally it gives some kind of hint as to why that's happening (or why Selenium thinks it's happening).

Agreed. At this point, I am more concerned about anti-immunity misinformation than about anti-vaccine misinformation. The media have done an EXCELLENT job, debunking anti-vaccine misinformation. I hope they will continue to do an excellent job debunking anti-immunity misinformation.
Do you have a citation on previously infected unvaccinated people having 10x the mortality rate of vaccinated people?

Or are you saying a lot of people think they've gotten covid but actually got something else?

If it's the latter case, how do you feel about encouraging that the people who don't want to be vaccinated because they've had a prior infection get an antibody test, and get vaccinated if it comes back negative, and if they do indeed have antibodies we treat them the same way we'd treat someone vaccinated?

If you think that natural immunity is comparable to vaccine-generated immunity, but that proposal still sounds unappealing to you, I'd be curious why.
It is the worst of the major streaming apps. It's very slow and has lots of loading/reloading on every piece of hardware I've used it on (Android phone, iPad, AppleTV, AndroidTV).

I imagine the other streaming apps use similar techniques to share code, so I wonder why theirs is so poor in this regard.

Outside of the major players though it gets a lot worse - Funimation's streaming app is horrendous, as is Crunchyroll's. At least Prime Video is doing better than that tier.
It's worth noting that fasm is written in itself, and thus self-assembling.
It depends. Small organisms can potentially scale really well. If yeast, bacteria or algae can do what you want, you have at least some hope of scaling that up arbitrarily.
What I would really love is to see XAML-like layout in the browser.

In almost all cases, it's not okay to even have only certain races or genders you're willing to hire. If you have a BFOQ exception that makes that okay, then it would be okay to announce it too.
Looking at it not very deeply, seems like yasm is more of a library with a command line frontend, and whereas nasm is built like a program.
EULA; I know it's not a "sign on the dotted line" contract, but it still has some legal power, probably, in the USA at least. If you don't accept the EULA then you're "just" breaking copyright law, I think. (Again, IANAL, I know I'm not doing great at details, but I'm fairly sure it works roughly this way)
Hey, same problem! I even opened a bug report at the time, which devs said they couldn't replicate :(.

I just looked last week out of curiosity. Apparently they figured it out sometime in 2019, and it had something to do with avatars. How odd.

I agree - though if it is just a few local officials acting foolishly, and who will soon be put in their place, then there's nothing much to worry about. Society can handle a few dummies acting in character.

If, on the other hand, it was happening more broadly - say, for example, a national election, with officials at the highest level of government acting in this way - then there would be much greater cause for concern.
I run a newsletter for my startup called 'Media First Brand' where I write case studies on content marketing strategies followed by amazing creators and companies.

I have covered Slack, Harvard University, First Round Capital till now.

I am not sure how and where do I promote this newsletter as such.

Suggestions for growth hacks are welcome!

In this world where the only real differences between streaming services are their apps and their catalogues, you’d think everyone would be doing everything in their power to acquire every advantage on those fronts.

My own strategy would be to keep the generic electron version and then make a native app for the top 5 most popular TV models but that’s just me.
Ok, let's do the math. The result is easy: When you fall from h meters (accelerating), and then decelerate over s meters cushion, your deceleration is (if it is nice and uniform) h/s. So, when you want to decelerate with at most 5g, your cushion needs to be 1/5th of the free fall distance.

For example: Velocity from a 100 metre (300 ft) free fall is v = sqrt(2gh) = 44 m/s = 160 km/h = 100 mph.

Now let's say we might survive 5g to 50g (Astronauts pull 5g routinely, Lady Di in her car crash had about 70g).

So, to brake a fall from 100m somewhat comfortably, you need a 20m cushion. To brake it such that you have a small chance of survival, you need at least a 2m cushion. This scales linearly with height you fall from, until you approach terminal velocity.

Interestingly, terminal velocity is around 200 to 300 km/h (depending on position), or 125 to 185 mph, or 54 to 80 m/s, requiring a 3m to 30m cushion.

A 30m airbag in a jetpack strikes me as unlikely. A 2m airbag in a jetpack that achieves constant deceleration may be feasible, though not soon, and certainly not something I want to experience.

For reference, these Fall-Pac units at 1.2 metres cushion promise fall protection up to 3-5 metres.

DeCSS was considered a very big no no if you worked for a company that did work for content owners. Doom9 had lots of info on how to use DeCSS, and so it was flagged by lots of corps.

Where would I start today? That depends on your level of interest, and what you want to do. Are you wanting to learn things to do to stay hip and cool making videos for the socials, or are you wanting to do technical things to video for less prestigious ends? That's two different paths that intertwine, but different recommendations depending.

That's not a rhetorical question, btw. I've been in both fields, and continue to work in both. There's lots of reading, and today watching videos, but the biggest thing will be the access to actually doing the things that weren't possible so freely 20 years ago. Try things, make mistakes, learn, do again.
Also there's no point going through 3 weeks of interviews to get lowballed in the end. If they don't mention salary range by the first interview, I squeeze it out of them or turn the job down.
Firefox had kind of stagnated in terms of innovation and design when Chrome rolled around. Not to mention performance: we are spoiled today with recent versions of Firefox, but I remember a lot of people I know who switched to Chrome did so because of crash-resistance, performance, and the ability to run relatively large numbers of tabs. People like to complain about Firefox chasing Chrome in terms of feature set and design, but I think at least some of that chasing led to a better Firefox.

That at least explains how Chrome gained dominance. Sites that don't fully support Firefox + the "outsider" effect you identified are contributing to FF's continued decline. Safari will probably keep going for years and years solely because of users who don't care or know how to change their default browser (and some people do actually like it more than other browsers).

They don't even know who took ivermectin. The city they studied the ivermectin protocol in had the highest rate of COVID mortalities in the state during the ivermectin protocol.

Context is key in your question. What country and what position are you hiring for?

Even in places with very strong anti-discrimination laws for hiring there is always some latitude where you can discriminate against what is traditionally protected classes of people. This generally comes down to if those things are material requirements to perform the job.

Some examples that I can think of would be countries where brothels are legal. You may need to hire women therefore you would advertise that's the gender you need. Another example would be some sort of acting gig. The roles that need filled can be determined by a script and the script & plot dictates that do you need very specific genders and races for this.

As an open-ended question without any context it sounds like a very bad question to be asking. Usually this is the type of question that if you have to ask is this okay generally means that it is not okay for you to do this. The limited situations where it is okay to make this kind of discrimination are generally obvious.
Isn't that the promise too of React, Angular?

Yes, please do.

Just keep in mind that you may end up having your own identity revealed - especially if your commentary appears to be too caustic, or to focus too much on petty mistakes instead of the bigger picture (everyone screws up, or says something stupid now and then - it's just a question of degree). And also, please take care to avoid speculating about matters you can't directly verify (did the CTO literally "not look at the stack for 5 months", and if so, how can you tell?)

Also, you may want to make your report (at least plausibly) anonymous -- that is, don't name the company, or give details about the line of business. That will spare you from charges that you have an axe to grind, and people will be less likely to take a sympathetic position towards they company (as they sometimes do when companies are ratted on).

But if you go that route - do mention that it's a YC company (because it's definitely in the interest of the readers here to know).

So a good strategy may be: take some time out to compose (without making it too long - otherwise it will appear as a "rant"). And if you can, show it to a friend who can gut check it for you. Then if the two of you feel good about the content - go ahead and post.
Voter fraud and voter supression are two different things.

Fraud is I sneak into the booth and change your vote before it is counted. Suppression is stopping bus service on election day in the neighborhoods that don't vote how you want them to.

Democrats are accused of fraud, but there are almost no cases of it happening (and they all end up being in favor of Republicans when they are found). Republicans use suppression so often that in 1965 a law was passed requiring them to get federal approval to make changes that impact voting, which unfortunately was overturned in 2013.

First, consider changing the name. "Media First Brand" sounds really generic and doesn't explain really what the newsletter is about. Secondly, simply talk about it in more places to drive people to it. Put links to it in forum signatures, post flyers around your area, get in touch with profeasional marketers and their groups who may be interested in reading it, etc. Maybe even invite others to contribute unique material for it too.
And its awesome until you notice that just the transit fees to restore it work out to roughly $100 a TB. Which even for someone with a small auto loader (10-20 tapes), quickly buys a new tape backup system should they ever have to restore 100TB+.

So, if your 100% confident you won't ever have to restore it, its a great deal. I was considering it for my personal backups but the ~3-5k a full restore would cost me is unpleasant on top of the $30-50 a month the storage would cost me. Over a 3 year timeframe that is $1000-1800 just in storage fees. So, maybe I will just buy another USB JBOD...

I suspect that over 100T, tape is still much cheaper, especially if the offsite storage is a fire safe at the CTO's house. Once your in the few PB range its a no brainier and actual offsite storage services start to look inexpensive. https://spectralogic.com/wp-content/uploads/white-paper-iron... says that its ~$1 a month per tape to store it at iron mountain, but I'm pretty sure there is a nice volume discount, one of the previous places I worked used them for tape storage and the actual storage bill was a joke in comparison to the pickup fee.
That's a real bummer. Is there any way the author can prevent this? Can he generate random indexes that don't repeat while keeping this random number generator code public?
Often if I go job hunting, there's a 25%-250% increase in salary. The 250% is often some tiny startup in a developed nation, which comes with its own costs; no healthcare, dodgy contract, remote, etc. But the idea is that it's easy to just take -- or turn down, a range much higher than you make now.
> Recorded deaths do not differentiate between "died from covid" and "died while covid positive" making death statistics hard to interpret.

This has never been true and remains false.
I feel like you could make tons of money proving everyone wrong.
As far as I checked, BFOQ does not apply to race. Only gender, religion, age or nationality and you must prove it on a case by case bases.
Perhaps unpopular opinion: I find Gates' need to show off in this particular manner, and his reaction to it not going as expected, to be in really poor taste, even if the author themselves seem to have not minded it.

There were so many ways in which this interaction could have gone. He could have a side chat with the author, talked about other instances where this did work etc. But no, he had to try to assert dominance in this really weird way, and when it didn't work, it made him mad.

It's much easier to read assembly code than to write it. You're only looking for the necessary performance in a few hot-spots. Everywhere else the convenience of a high-level language is welcome. With the tail-call optimization, it's really only a fact of how programming languages are implemented that you need to look at the assembly. In a language that guarantees tail calls, or has a special tail-call keyword, you could forget about what's going on at the instruction level.
> you can convert it into something that doesn't devalue

Such as staples? But then, why sell them quickly at a discount? That was the question. Or, if something else, why not convert the loaned money into something that doesn't devalue directly?
I agree that the hospitals as private businesses have not handled the situation well because they are seeking profit, but the electorate has no punished them for it.

There are no single issue voters for increasing the medical systems capacity. There are multiple political groups who care about the medical system but none who are willing to sacrifice every other possible gain if they get an improved medical system. That is what I mean about the electorate signaling that they do not care

No doubt some treaties are bad treaties, in that they make the world a worse place. But whether a treaty is good or bad and whether it is legally valid or invalid are two separate questions.

The problem with "questioning transactions" is that if you happen to own any real estate, almost certainly it is land which was stolen from somebody at some point (from indigenous people, or by some invading army, or by some greedy feudal warlord, or whatever). You want to open that can of worms for other people, but do you want to open it for yourself?
