> To "work" with colleagues through a screen using a cartoon avatar so that you can sit in your boxers and not have to go outside?

There's a huge difference between working remotely with colleagues and "sitting in your boxers not having to go outside". Some of us work with people who don't live in the same city as us, and tools like this make an effort to build up some of the genuine benefits of office work (and in my experience having used a similar tool for a year or so, they do so effectively)

The style may not be to your taste and that's fine, but sometimes you need to look past the presentation to understand something.

> That the author got this recursive lookup so small that it broke everyone's brains is just more reason to be interested in this article.

https://github.com/jvns/tiny-resolver/blob/main/resolver.sh - the recursive lookup is 16 lines for + switch.

I'm sorry to say this, but if the recursive lookup can be implemented with a for and a 3-way switch that a CS 101 student can write, it's really not doing the heavy lifting. It may be interesting to know about it, it may be the case that multiple resolves don't have the implementation, but it's a trivial piece of code, let's not idolize it.

For me personally, having the power of hitting an endpoint and receiving useful information is really satisfying. Creating the request and parsing the reply are probably 90% of that process. And frankly, that was the first think I was looking for when I skimmed the article. "Are DNS replies really that easy to parse?". The fact that I need to make a switch on the reply and potentially make a recursive request somewhere else is trivial once you get the actual useful info from the remote.

I'm not criticising the article or the title. It's my opinion that parsing is more important, I'm not faulting the author. But I'm having a hard time accepting your arguments.
I'm gobsmacked that Senior Wrangler is an actual thing. I thought Terry Pratchett made it up!
> These have a fixed data rate of 64 kbit/s (bidirectional). You can see that, at that bitrate, even a sophisticated codec, like AAC, will be limited in quality.

It needs a little more explaining. It is 64kbps while keeping it extremely low latency that makes it difficult. AAC-ELD has a coding delay down to 7.5 ms at a sampling rate of 48 kHz.

Considering they have to paid for AAC-ELD and EVS, I wonder why they didn't choose EVS over AAC-ELD, or Opus.

I think audio codec is mostly a solved problem for music, the next frontier is how do we get sub 5ms latency to sound exceptionally good with 64kbps only.
Maybe run it on Peachpie (which should already give perf gains) and go with the new plugin model.
Blacklisting those github/stackoverflow mirrors
I said bad "hire", not bad "interview" - this was by design. If a company makes a bad hire, it's not (generally) because the candidate was presented, but rather a flaw in their interview and vetting process. The "how" of the candidate appearing is mostly irrelevant at that point.

Disagree. Intel has had continuous dividends for at least 30 years.

Few giant American companies have been as consistently successful as Intel. I can think of only Microsoft, one or two energy conglomerates like ExxonMobil, a telecom or two like Verizon, and maybe a bank like Goldman Sachs.

Which widely used statically typed languages do not have a Turing complete type system? C, probably Go?
> I wonder if the people using that language naturally and spontaneously evolved it, or if they encountered it somewhere - perhaps in their own "area", which they definitely wouldn't call their own tribe.

What's the difference you're drawing here? Isn't natural language evolution the same thing as picking things up from the people you hang out with?

(But to answer the question I think you're asking, I think the terminology spread from https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/i-can-tolerate-anythin... )
That’s no more true under LVT than it is today.

Interesting article, but this type of malware has been spreading for months now. PirateStealer is definitely the most popular but it's been shutdown a few times by a discord group who are targeting this type of malware.

One of the tools they've built is https://sketchy.tel/ which can decompile piratestealer/extrack/bby.rip and more and shuts down the Webhook automatically.

There's a lot of other things we do in this community but I can't disclose it because we never know who's reading our messages and if they get found out the malware creators will adapt to stop us.

>Do you always take your phone with you when you go to the bathroom half asleep in the middle of the night with no pockets in your pijamas?

You do if your life depends on it. Also, if your family has put a cell phone on your bathrobe specifically for the purpose - even doing this is cheaper than buying special hardware just because it has mmWave.

> Nor will she be ok with me belting a phone onto her at all times.

But belting proprietary, un-auditable electronics to her or installing it in her private space is okay, right ..

The Fall Detector/home medical metrics industry is huge, and plenty of people are using cell-phone based Fall Detectors to protect their family. This doesn't require mmWave, one bit.
Don't get me wrong but I think that's one of the reasons why Singapore is one of the fastest growing countries in the world.
Your dog can reliably detect objects, judge distance and avoid them.

That's all the person is saying. Simple animals can use only vision to do what we're using lidar and radar to do. But neither camera, lidar nor radar or any combination of them guarantees that you'll be able to make a computer drive a car in all situations.

For me, intuitively, the problem of reconstructing a distance field from cameras must be way harder than say, trying to predict what a person on a bike will do next, or detect road lines on the road in heavy rain or snow. So it seems very likely that an "AI" capable of driving a car in all situations would be powerful to not need lidar or radar (though I don't see the point of dropping radar, as it gives you some ability to "see" around objects which can make cars better than humans)

We need a healthy plurality of world views and the freedom to live them. That is the correct point of view, both from a moral and a consequentialist perspective. If we have a global monoculture then any flaw in that might doom the whole of humanity, instead of just a part of it.
They may not care about what languages and tools you are using when they hire you, but that's how they find you. They aren't on LinkedIn search for "Software Engineer" in most cases - at least I wasn't.
I don't think there is such a thing and keeping the illusion is also bad for everyone.
It’d be great to learn about other code by prominent politicians.

Off the top of my head, I only recall one other example: COBOL on Wheelchair [0], a web micro-framework for GNU COBOL, written by Adrian Zandberg [1], a Polish MP.

How much of that is because programming is easier, and how much because for programming there are plenty of free resources (books, tutorials, documentation, etc.) while other disciplines are much more hermetic?
Tim Draper wasn’t random.
Cool! I used CL for the same purposes in my PhD almost a decade ago. Interesting to see that others independently have been gravitating towards CL.

I had a top-level pattern language with a dataflow-like visual representation, using the LispWorks UI lib to make the editor. That pattern language compiled down to a Measurement Calculus representation (one-way QC, so not the usual circuit model) in s-expr form, which I could both execute with my QVM and do optimizing transformations on. I had a CL QVM was initially CL, but it was quickly replaced with a C + OpenMP version using the same s-expr input.
On the other hand, as an author of a Fall Detector app I'm pretty proud of the fact that a lot of my users in elderly and care facilities are now able to take a walk around the yard without needing oversight. This has enabled a lot more freedom to some of these people than you seem to be willing to acknowledge ..
I used to listen to a podcast I enjoyed about a small and rapidly growing tech company in Oregon, someone I had personally met a few years back at a conference - which is where I first learned of the company; they work in the e-commerce space and I enjoyed listening to the founder talk about the trials and tribulations of growing his company; when covid hit, the company grew like gangbusters (like just abut every online business), and he would talk about the skyrocketing business growth and all of the money they were making.

Then he also went on to talk about how he was lining up at the public trough to get welfare from the government (PPP) to 'help' his business - was so thoroughly disgusted by the lack of ethics and have never listen to the show again, and lost all respect for this founder as well.

I will never understand rich people making money hand-over-fist and still willing to take money from taxpayers who make a fraction of what they do so they can have even more

(are you listening Elon? this story is not about you, but it could be.)
As someone who tries to use Gutenberg to make "rich" pages, I disagree. A few weeks ago I was on the verge of emailing Mullenweg directly to ask if he himself uses the editor to write blog posts.

In 3 years they haven't fixed a simple issue like backspace jumping. For example, if you write a paragraph, then backspace to clear it - when the block is fully cleared you jump back to the top of the page rather than the block above it.

In other words, Gutenberg is not native to the editing experience. It's actually laughable how bad it is if you look at something like Ghost[0]. It's day and night difference in editing experience.

Another example is when you start adding "blocks" like CTA buttons and such. Why does the editor need to constantly render those elements in the editor itself? It completely bricks the writing experience. And I tried a lot of things, including switching browsers.

Some of my problems were resolved by removing plugins, but overall I have just decided to use Classic Editor[1]. I can, at the very least, write out the entire article and then switch to Gutenberg to style it the way I like.

It's stupid, but at least it works.

That doesn’t stop many western CEOs from being corrupt.

From what I’ve experienced, the lack of corruption in Singapore is partly cultural and partly due to their heavy penalties for crime.
I bring up that group because I'm a part of that group and work with people who have been targeted with subpoenas for simply investigating a company. This is something that effects me personally and the work I do that's deeply intended to help and inform the public. That you don't think protecting that group is a critically important thing for everyone is very telling.

What's exhausting is having to keep up to date with how to continue turning off these awful "features" and arguing about how we don't want these features for the billionth time.

>You do if your life depends on it.

You clearly don't know how stubborn (old) people can be even when it comes to their own safety. People should also wear bike helmets in my country, as their lives depends on it, yet few actually do. Moving the sensor off the people and onto the room removes this issue.

> Also, if your family has put a cell phone on your bathrobe specifically for the purpose

Nobody in my family wears bathrobes and I'm pretty sure almost nobody in my country does (BTW, is this a US thing?)

What if you forget to take your phone with you when you get out of bed for whatever reason? Or what if you fall out of bed before getting your smartphone? This is a flawed solution from the start.

>But belting proprietary electronics to her is okay, right ..

You clearly did not read the product description. You don't belt this sensor to the person you want to monitor but instead you install it in the room you're monitoring and the radar sensor detects when anyone in the room is falling down. That's the game changer right there.

Please read the product description and maybe you'll reconsider your stance.
Let's first get rustc qualified, but speaking on a high level, I believe Ada/Rust FFI has potential to make `unsafe`... safer. If someone wants to play around with this in the open, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
> "I am confident that somehow they can find new jobs in the boonies that will pay the same, or at least be no-worse versus other expenses, because... reasons."

The variability of housing prices is much higher than the variability of wages in most occupations, especially at the low end. So, yes.

Ghost towns? Median house in the USA is ~$410k (St Louis Fed) (and was $320k before the recent government-induced inflation), in WA that makes for a ~$2k mortgage payment including taxes and insurance (via Google calculator with 4+% rate; I think its property tax estimate is too large, actually). Slightly more with 10% down.

I'm pretty sure median house is located nearby a median job. Median household income in the USA is was $69k in 2019, $67k in 2020 (latest that I can find from a good source). By a common affordability metric, that makes $1.85k/mo perfectly affordable - 2k is almost there. I'm pretty sure nominal income increased in 2 years (given past trends), and of course 2019 median house was very affordable on 2019 median income.

Sorry, not everyone can live exactly where they want, mostly because too many people tend to want to live in the same places. That said, I think /another/ way government could get out of the way of progress is by repealing many/most zoning and related laws, so that more housing could be built.
I'm not good at thinking of these in abstract terms but one fact which we keep have thrust down our throat is that the UK has the fastest growth in Europe post (strict lockdown) COVID. This is a fact but is negated quite fully by the fact that we also had the sharpest fall in the early stages of COVID so had the furthest to regain.

Similarly if I told you I lost 5lb in a week on some new diet it might sound impressive but if I didn't tell you I over-eat and over-hydrated the week before it's not nearly as impressive. Nor if my starting weight was 250lb.

> maybe he’s color blind, which then that would be my husband’s fault

I've just discovered a huge deficiency in English. In my native language I've got a perfect response:

I'm not guilty as I didn't broke any law.

Which goes along with both classical nullum crimen sine lege and with UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights no less:

> No one shall be held guilty of any penal offence on account of any act or omission which did not constitute a penal offence, under national or international law, at the time when it was committed.

The problem in English is the word "fault", which can mean both "a physical or intellectual imperfection" and "responsibility for wrongdoing" among its many meanings. Phew, try to defend against that, accusation of not being perfect.
I don't agree. I'm exactly in the position of the author with my clients.
The real problem is with the Wordpress makes your client think it can outsmart you.

I don't care about billing random hours to fix a footer. If anything, I program all my sites so that global options like these are ALWAYS easily editable by the customer. That's not my business model.

It's just frustrating when the user wipes an entire section, because they decided that "oh, I can change that font here".

Despite recent changes, Wordpress remains the best choice for the type of websites OP and I are building, I believe.
That said, I would absolutely pay for a Dev version of Wordpress mantained by Automattic that would get rid of all the "easy to use" fluff by default.
Competition is what's supposed to drive up wages until they equal marginal productivity.

If you don't have enough labour market competition for that, you should look into easing barriers to entry. So you can: invite foreign companies to set up shop, encourage existing companies to branch out (eg allow WalMart to offer bank services like they wanted to; allow banks to sell coffee, like they wanted to), encourage start-ups. Perhaps try to move taxation away from labour and capital, and towards land.

I do not believe that the war was "not winnable" in Afghanistan. The Soviets managed to defeat the Taliban precursors (Mujahideen), and left behind a Soviet-propped government that lasted longer than the Soviet Union did (3 years after they left). That's as close as you can get to an example of a "win" in Afghanistan -- so don't say that the war was not winnable.
Not sarcasm.

The hiring manager is a person representing a company, which is exactly why they would find their downplaying the offer (because they were hoping to increase it somewhat to meet the candidate in the middle, so they had to start low because they want to keep some gap there) embarassing and feel insulted.

They may not be spending out of their pocket but they are spending out of their budget.
THIS.
Impressive how experienced developers and professionals fall for this fallacy all the time because, wait, they don't actually KNOW A THING about wordpress.
I've replied to your comment on GH, The problem is likely due to how your symlinks are set-up. Which is an artifact of your systems' locales.

Easiest is to check /usr/share/dict with `ls -hal`. Do read the README there, before manually flipping symlinks around, though.
It reminds me how YouTube enforced new codec with a few days notice knowing that FireFox doesn't support it, so FF couldn't play most YT videos for over a week.

No, there's no direct API for that. What the malware does is inject javascript into your discord, so if you add any payment details to your account it will harvest the data and send it via the Webhook to the owner.

The injected code also will scan your friends for "rare" badges, like the Bot Developer, Early Supporter and Certified Moderator. They use this information to then target the malware to those people in the hopes they can sell the rare badge accounts.
