There is a perfect storm of contributing factors to expository writing: writer blandness and TL;DR, infinitely more sources of information, and reader limited time and attention. If you want to be read take some responsibility with style and concision.
> Pretty much the only wrong answer here is to dismiss this as a bullshit nonissue that is irrelevant.

Who's to say that there's any "right" or "wrong" answer to the issue? What if one were to fell back to basic norms of professional courtesy, that ask of us to treat others with tact and diplomacy so as to make them feel as comfortable as possible? One might then privately regard the whole matter as quite trifling, while nonetheless humoring the student's unconventional identity and presentation as merely the latest of many such possible eccentricities. This is clearly not the "accepted" answer in DEI offices, but it might be quite compatible with one's duties as an educator.
That's one data point. I've been using my QC45 with a MBP and Android device and it works flawlessly. My hearing aid is connected to my Android via BLE and has worked consistently for which I'm really really grateful. I think it's a magnificent piece of technology.
In the US, I can get paid very well to do mediocre work. Despite our buggy software, we keep raising more money and our valuation increases. PMs and managers get paid more if they delivery new features. At some point the company will get acquired or fail. Either way, the code will be gone and I'll be at another job.

Why bother caring?
Because so many adults are refusing to get their first vaccination so the road to herd immunity seems to be through kids. (At least some of them have parents that aren't anti-vax.)

If you've been a parent and had kids in day care or elementary school you've probably lived the way that a respiratory infections explode in classrooms and they bring them home. There was that day I was eating some food my son hadn't finished (which seemed perfectly natural) and there were also some plates with leftover food from horse riders and when I thought of it I was filled with disgust at the thought of these snotty little girls.

The anti-vax movement is really driving the rest of us crazy. If they just gave up on resisting they'd find a whole lot less to resist.
Funny, same here with M-Pow!
It depends on the location. There are plenty of city intersections where 4-way stops are completely appropriate, and a roundabout would be impossible because it would have a much bigger footprint (and would block trucks and emergency vehicles).
Slightly different perspective: facts are completely unimportant, because:

- what seems like a fact may not be a "fact" at all, it may be a misunderstanding

- knowing all the known facts may give you a false sense of understanding of the truth; one more fact can change your entire outlook... and yet one more can change that... you don't know the facts you don't know

If certain truths are probable, the facts known today (or perceived as knowable today) should not get in the way of exploring them.

Do not let any fact or a collection of facts get in the way of your exploration of the truth.

If one is extremely conservative, it may seem like a good idea to only stick to what is already known (i.e. the "facts") but even then, because of the fact that you can never be sure that everything there is to know is known at this time, one should still keep an open mind.
Thanks, that is interesting. Does anyone know where the charters for the teams are located? This is called out in 2021-Roadmap:

https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/3037-roadmap-2021.html

...I'm not seeing the 2022 Roadmap, is that still in the works?
It looks like they're using enclaves.
Singapore has only been independent since 1959. The date you gave is when the Misuse of Drugs Act was introduced. They still had harsh punishments prior to that through the legal system. Like I said earlier in the thread, whether the benefits are worth the costs is a political question, but prohibition appears to work in Singapore. By the way, since you brought up the Opium Wars, Mao also basically eliminated the production and use of opium by using harsh repressive measures as well. It's why most poppy production now takes place in the Golden Triangle. Just prior to 2001 the Taliban also basically eliminated poppy production in Afghanistan, but the US invasion led to the reversal of that.
I grew up spending summers on a farm, and my brother lives on a small acreage raising bees and chickens. I know my limits. Even today, I own 6 fruit trees (plum, apple, asian pear, cherry) on my property and they are a pain. I hired a tree specialist to help me, and my fruit output is terrible. Mostly battling the codling moths.

I do enjoy it when we get some good plums in, though, and for me that's enough.
Logseq: Free & Open-Source to Create Notes, Manage Tasks, Build Knowledge Graph
That is hilarious. For reference, Sun acquired MySQL AB in February 2008 for $1 billion.
Yeah I saw that and I tried it out as well, my experience was it was pretty high latency. My understanding is they were shoehorning HLS into BitTorrent so latency is governed by the longest segment length. Unfortunately there's a tradeoff if the segment length is too short then BitTorrent starts not behaving well and if it's too long then HLS will increase in latency. It's really cool tech though and especially doing it back before WebRTC was really a thing was an achievement.

My goal for the CDN is to make it lower latency that it could be used for video conferencing. In practice I have more of a one-to-million distribution in mind but it's a cool puzzle.

If you're interested, I'd love to talk more! I'm in NYC if you happen to be too, I love meeting people interested in live video :)
I believe that Microsoft is already licensing Azure tech to big European companies to host GDPR-compliant, Azure-compliant regions in Europe. More expensive than regular Azure regions, but still in use for some purposes.

Given that the big 3 cloud providers already have some trouble providing stable operations, I suspect it won't be the pinnacle of reliability, but have no first-hand experience with them.
look incompetent?

I really appreciate that clarification. The "blockchain based" DNS server concept the parent mentioned almost caused me to bounce off of this project, which is otherwise very interesting to me.
Funny. A super vocal wrong opinion dominates. Yeah, no. MariaDB is everywhere, mysql is the master of all stored production content, no one uses postgres, and people just query mysql not MariaDB.
This is something I would be interested in too.

It'll be really interesting to see where they go next. Given that they're already in computer and custom board space, I'd make a guess that it's going to be routers - similarly embedded devices and they'd make a great option for replaceable parts (i.e. WiFi, connection options etc).
Having spent the last 8 years suing governmental entities, I promise you that this bullshit:

>After explicitly saying that illegal speech is not free speech, it lists 6 exceptions for things that are not free speech either, including speech "that is otherwise directly incompatible with the functioning of the Institute"

Is their future get-out clause for anything and everything.

These types of bullshit clauses are everywhere in the law.
Then you'll be horrified to find out how much methanol is in a glass of wine or a beer.
MS Word's 'outline view" is a little-known feature that allows this: you can expand/collapse sections of the document (based on the headers, or anything with "outline level" paragraph formatting) and click/drag the folded sections to reorder them.

It also works with paragraphs, it has an option to show only the first line of each paragraph to facilitate the same click/drag reordering.
Felt | Frontend and Elixir Engineers | Oakland or REMOTE (US timezones) | Full-Time | https://felt.com

Felt is the best way to make maps on the internet. It's surprisingly hard to make a map today, and people in 15+ industries rely on them to do their jobs. Climate change and the resulting natural disasters are forcing even more people to become map-makers, and Felt is here to meet that need. It's the first easy-to-use collaborative mapping software, founded by a team of technologists with a proven track-record. My CEO, Sam, is a former YC founder with an exit [1] and I'm an early Uber engineer.

Our technology stack is Elixir (on Phoenix), a good amount of PostGIS and React on Typescript. We are looking for folks who want to work on a modern, collaborative web-app. Think Figma for Maps. We are especially on the lookout for front-end talent that is energized by the UI challenges of working on an infinite canvas and spatial tools.

We are well-funded, have employee friendly terms such as early exercise, 10-year exercise windows and even a matching 401(k).[3]

Most late 20th century western musical movements and the cultural changes that came with them was down to manufacturers of instruments. It was usually a box, synthesizer or effects unit. Surely the R&D for new sounds is what music depends on?

English is not their first language.
For those who don't know, "Riddim is the Jamaican Patois pronunciation of the English word 'rhythm'. In the context of reggae and dancehall it refers to the instrumental accompaniment to a song and is synonymous with the rhythm section... A given riddim, if popular, may be used in dozens—or even hundreds—of songs, not only in recordings but also in live performances."

The actual riddim sounds completely uninteresting to my American ears. But the novelty and catchiness obviously connected to millions of people at the time.

I'm an experienced full stack software engineer seeking a full time role.

Update: I've been hired, and am no longer available.

In my previous position, I served as tech lead to a team building the enterprise cybersecurity SaaS, Forge. This product offers a web-based workflow to design effective, efficient password cracking plans.

The software created jobs based on these plans and distributed them to local and cloud GPUs, cracking passwords under great urgency.

I led successful delivery of releases of Forge to meet tight deadlines for customers in the US Federal Government and a major US health system.

In addition to individual contributions as a SWE, I owned large initiatives formalizing technical project management and collaborative release processes.

I owned the containerization of the product moving deployment from Jenkins to Github Actions and bare-metal product installs to docker orchestration.

--

I had a solo founder exit in 2020, when I sold a Django-based B2B parking management SaaS. For this product, I took a system from conception to production on my own, including doing the enterprise sales work.

I landed Cummings Properties and National Cathedral School as customers.

Today, both organizations are still customers under the new ownership, despite a largely unchanged feature set.

This speaks to the technical quality and stability of the system I built. It demonstrates the sustained value my product over three years since I personally onboarded these customers.

--

I'm especially capable working with people. I've hired to fulfill resources on projects of my own and those I've taken on for companies including Intel and Verizon.

I've also contributed to hiring in the interview process and by successfully recruiting talent away from competitive organizations. I enjoy working with junior developers and mentoring.

I'm friendly, compassionate and hold both a BS in Computer Engineering and an MBA. I enjoy the technical product design process and cross-functional collaboration. I place high emphasis on the quality of internal and external documentation.

I look forward to hearing from you!

For the product role, would you consider someone with less than a year of product experience?
I once had a former team leader tell me that "I warn you, I practice nepotism", and she did not refer to familiar relations, she just meant that she favored people she knew and liked when looking for people (it included me, I guess, since she "got me in" at a consultancy when I was looking for a job).

So at least some people use the word that way.
This looks amazing, how can I help with marketing?
Eh, I find work "friends" to be even more ephemeral than school friends. Nobody I've ever worked with in the past has ever contacted me after I left the company we worked for. At least school friends are around for a more or less guaranteed period of several years.

Edit to add: I have initiated contact before and been well received. Nobody contacts me. It's tiring to have to do 100% of the work to maintain these relationships.
You misunderstand - the computer belongs to Windows.
I’m actually surprised there wasn’t similar wireless headphones previously that were just pure analog FM radio. Seems very doable with older technology, save battery size/weight.
I truly don't understand this line of reasoning. "Oh no, I've been honked at! Someone in a car, who I'll never meet, doesn't like me! I guess I'd better start driving a bit more unsafely so that people don't honk at me!". I'll ignore someone honking at me if it means I'm driving more safely.

And I've driven in LA plenty of times. It might be the norm for LA drivers, sure, but I would also argue that that whole region could use at least a bit more patience when on the road.

The speed limit differential gets into a bit more of a grey area, though, in regards to laws that require you to maintain a speed that's in line "with the flow of traffic". It's similar in Atlanta; posted speed limit might be 55, but you're likely going to be going at least 70 in the slow lane in order to maintain the flow.
That's not what the pandemic has taught me. The pandemic has taught me that governments all over the world are able to make overnight sweeping changes, develop and roll out new medicine in incredibly short timespans, and that people will put up with horrible life changing protective measures for years for the sake of society.
Might try experimenting with changing the reward. Instead of money, every 25 bottles means a tree is planeted or something. The 2cents a bottle isn't much of motivation for regular people.
Easy for me to suggest as I don't have to figure it out, but maybe something to consider.
Looks like an enterprise version of discord.

The company that sells your lost airplane luggage
Hi, I'm an ex-big-tech employee working on FeatureAsk.com

It's 2022 and yet if you ever think of a feature for an app or a product you use, there's no good place to voice it and feel heard. I want to change that.

Looking to collaborate with fellow engineers and people with a strong product/growth sense.
Is this the company that re-invented the PCMCIA slot, but completely proprietary?
Always check notebookcheck.net for the thorough reviews. They test everything meticulously, up to the build quality, monitor (brightness + color + response time), heat dissipation, noise, battery life, etc. These are probably much more important than raw CPU/GPU/RAM, as raw hardware specs are kinda similar around the same category of laptops.

Hey, I can help to anyone with a project of Python and Django

Maybe marketing stuff, like social media, SEO or anything organic :)
I tend to not have to use (nor generate) qr codes often, but I can picture using this to embed an image that actually describes the data in the code. (E.g. codes to connect to a wifi, maybe having the name of the ap pictured in the code)
MaxDB [1] is already a thing.

How well does the insight from one region and culture to another?
Probably because they don't have a good way to monetize. Lots of auto repair shops sell your personal information (mileage, condition of vehicle) to a data collection company that sells it to insurance companies (checking if miles driven is within the policy limits) and carfax/similar services. Of course, mechanics also charge a fee.
They exist. I know several small farmers who are HNWIs in the low 8 digits, not counting their real property. I'd say that's comparable to what you'd expect someone in tech to accumulate over around a 30 year career. They achieved that through a combination of savvy, connections, and growing relatively high margin niche crops instead of trying to compete with corporate gigafarms.

But it's extremely hard work, and depending on what one grows, one can expect to have maybe 2 weeks off a year. Nature is a boss that doesn't accept excuses.
Arbitrary code execution vulnerability in Samba
Love mine. Been my favorite laptop ever. Haven't touched my Macbook since (but I never enjoyed MacOS so that wasn't hard).
I know we're playing the anecdote game here, but I've lived and driven all over the US and can't recall a place where stop signs were respected by anyone (cross walks are a different story)
I'm interested in assisting. I have experience in TypeScript, Angular, and Node.
That’s actually a pretty good name.
I'd be interested in building a listening comprehension tool for foreign language learners. I'm thinking having a slider for vocab (top 1000 words, top 2000 words, etc) and a slider for speed of speech plus an adjustable timer for how long the user has to understand the sentence.
