If I was a betting man, I’d wager the reason why they give these weirder types of challenges is because solving CAPTCHAs means you’re labelling them, which gives who ever is hosting it labelled data to train their own models against. that’s why CAPTCHAs sometimes ask ppl to spot all the zebra crossings and stuff etc - no machine can solve it yet, so ppl can do it, and by doing it and solving it, you produce a labelled dataset for autonomous cars.
Had similar experiences back then.

I once flew from San Francisco to Frankfurt, and we were stopped by security because my brother had handcuffs in his baggage. (toys from Alcatraz sold as Souvenirs, but they were made of metal and looked quite real).

Can you imagine what would happen today if security found handcuffs in your bags at the air port? Back then, they smiled and put them back after my brother explained they were just toys. Unbelievable today.
A docco on BNFL said that alarms in the swimming pool storage areas ping continuously at low background rate so you know the alarm is receiving voltage, and basically works. It doesn't mean it can't fail but as an electromechanical liveness/heartbeat check it made a lot of sense.

I believe even fly by wire cockpits have some direct mesurement sensors, a pitot tube is about as simple as it comes. Not infallible either (wasps, ground covers not removed...)
> I don't know about the FBI specifically but telecom equipment is regulated and in most places it's not legal to roll your own interface to the infrastructure.

In the EU, the Directive 2015/2120 [1] enforces the ability of customers to bring their own modems, no matter if you are running fiber, xDSL or DOCSIS.

A huge net positive for buisness, that's for sure. There are currently over 25,000 lobbyists in Brussels and Berlin [1]. As for the citizens, that is up to debate, and highly individual.

Truckers in Sweden, for example, that currently find themselves competing with truckers from all over europe who also fill the tank in countries with far cheaper gas, cant really be said to enjoy positive gain from the EU [2].

> It's the developer giving an analysis of the cost and benefit of a refactoring (it will take X time, but will save Y work in the future). And the manager factoring that into all the other circumstances, and deciding whether it's worth the current cost.

I don't think either devlopers or managers can estimate future savings in most cases, but I still think it's necessary to refactor just to not drown in complexity and slow down overall development speed.
My approach is to reserve about 20% for refactoring and technical improvements and let the team decide internally what to use it on.
Not taking a moral stance here, just curious what laws you think have been broken in this instance?
> I use lots of characters that look like ASCII but are in fact not ASCII but nonetheless accepted as valid identifier characters.

Clever, I was wondering how the : was done, but it's an abomination :-/

With some simple improvements to the language, about 99% of the C preprocessor use can be abandoned and deprecated.
I'm glad I'm not alone with my frustrations over Unity. I feel like Unreal is clumsy as well for new developers, so it's a choice between which shortcomings you prefer. Can't wait for a new engine to fill in the gap.
I assume they’re trying to fight against bots buying up “hot” Airbnbs that sell out quickly. It’s a weird captcha for sure, but understandable why they wouldn’t want bots accessing the site.
I was very interested in the "But" link but it lead to page not found.
> Of course, there is little hope.

I think our hope are technical solutions:

- No 3rd party cookies or equivalents, fully compartmentalized browsing, no automated cross-domain GETs/POSTs, no domain can leak data to another domain without manual intervention

- No User-Agent leak, just a standards compliance level ex. HTML/5.0

- No Java-Script leaks, fonts or any other way to do client fingerprinting

- Cycle your IPv6 addresses or even use persistent IP-domains binding, with OS support, in a Tor-like manner.

- & Many more

It will break the current web yes, but the web needs a do-over, it has become a toxic soup of massive surveillance.

Most often such comments come from eastern parts of Europe, where nationalistic movements have a nice resurgence in past few years. A prime example is Czech republic, a very euro-skeptical nation despite all the benefits it brought them. Hungary would be another one.

That being said, as somebody coming from east too and seeing clearly all the direct and indirect benefits of EU, its far from ideal. The whole concept of central planning resembles old east communist block when soviets forced down our throats whatever they pleased (we had to refuse Marshall's plan, they took all of our uranium reserves for free for which more appropriate term is stealing, and many many other cases) and that's an association many older people have knee-jerk reaction of.
I tried to read every single book in my village's library in early nineties. Only skipped later parts of series that I've already tried. We had 4 TV programs, no internet yet, no kids my age in the neighborhood, what was I supposed to do.
Yeah basically. Personally I think religion is useful, but it's definitely a kind of ideology.

They should have a mentor system where high performing schools become mentors of underperforming schools. The high performing school will get more funding if it is successful in improving educational quality. 10% of its budget must be spent on mentoring.
I don't get why they don't make HTML-compatible frames you could just rotate in 3D. in my mind - if you said UI you said HTML. (and JS and CSS)
And you cherry-picked movies that disappointed. Of course it is harder to find successful movies once you make the condition of ignoring franchises. Franchises come from successful movies. Valerian's lack of success wasn't caused by it not being a franchise movie. It wasn't a franchise because it wasn't successful enough. There would have been a sequel if it made $500m.
I will voice a probably unpopular response.

Note:
This "use case" is written if the OP has to handle someone suffering
from traumatic experiences that can be considered out the norm and
even extreme.

My only credentials is that I have spent a lot of time in psychiatric
care and in hospitals.

It is quite helpful to have been there and done that.
Both specifically and in a larger sense.

It is hard to understand the mindset and the internals
of having to deal with something highly traumatic unless
you have experienced it yourself.

You can learn about it from reading a book sure but it is
at an abstract. It doesn't fill the colors, the anguish,
the sights you cant get rid of.

Exposure and repetition can also help.
If you are a psychologist who have worked with people in deep despair
over time and multiple cases you can start to put more puzzle pieces
together.

If you ask if a person "wants to talk about it" and the person says no.
No means no. Try to find some activity or topic entirely unrelated, or
just give the person space.

If someone does want to talk about it.
Sit down, shut up, clear your brain, and listen closely.
Be prepared for what might be a horrible story.
Be prepared for details you would prefer not to hear.
Be prepared for crying, angry outbursts.

Platitudes can help and can be destructive.
Depending on the person.
Sometimes it can help if the person is responsive.
Sometimes it can spike anger.
If the person responds negatively just stop with the platitudes full stop..
Then listen closely, imagine where the person is mentally, mostly keep quiet
but see if you can say something relevant to where the person is.

Overall it takes time.
Not just a conversation.
Many conversations,
Always wait until the person seems to indicate further interaction, .
Dont nag about it. That is unwise.
Special scorn should be directed towards those that prescribe glasses for young kids for something as low as 0.25 diapers. And those that prescribe unequal power two both eyes rather than advising patching to equate both eyes.
Does this actually happen??
In the beginning, was runoff. At least runoff was around on DEC machines in 1975. I wrote a couple term papers with it, Markdown is hardly different.
The average CPU use of a cloud server is vastly higher than noncloud.

Pre cloud people had a cople of DNS servers running at about 0% CPU utilization, 24/7.

Cloud actually uses the machines we manufacture.
Adnauseam's offensive tactics can still confuse these server-side implementations. That said, if Google et al figure a way out to defeat it, pretty sure they'd not be blogging or talking about it, at all, for us to know.
OP the book you need is called Crucial Conversations, it will change your life. Talks about both how to share your feelings and create a safe place for others to share their feelings with you.
Wait, what does a robot do once it rents a house?
Hi David, that is amazing to hear! Thank you so much for sharing!
I did worked with MSFT for some time. Basically you can do your own stuff, until you need to go to production. And if you do all things right "per process" somebody will "glimps" into your architecture and maybe even code. And in most cases this particular individual has seen a lot and is in the position to identify patterns. TBH I quite enjoyed how their corp machinery is working in the cloud world.
In Portugal there used to be road signs on the right side lane telling pedestrians to cross over to the left so they’d face oncoming traffic. Haven’t seen one in ages but they probably still exist.
Let me make you old. The following things happened 30 years ago, give or take a few weeks:

* H W Bush meets with Yeltsin, Cold War officially declared over.

* The EU was officially formed.

* Ukraine and four other nations in the Commonwealth of Independent States
reject Russia's proposal to maintain unified armed forces.

* Dahmer sentenced to 15 terms of life in prison

20 years ago, NASA began mapping the surface of Mars and the Sierra Leone Civil War came to a close.

20/30 years is around the line where "Vintage" starts to come into play. PowerPC Macs are on the edge of "Vintage" but their mid-90s Motorola68k based versions are definitely there.
It does. But the problem I saw with Netflix (and made me quit after some time - though I still keep the sub for family), is that it has a limited selection (especially in classics), and a lot of what it has is fillers.
> `git diff --staged` is superior. For one, you get all the options to `git diff`.

Most of which you can get on git show at least if they're relevant to “what have I added”. And of course you can also use git diff on commits if you need something super specific.

> For another, it has no side effects, unlike `git commit --amend -p`.

… “git commit --amend -p” is the replacement for subsequent “git add -p”, as the GP was talking about a workfliw where they’d intersperse staging stuff and looking at what they’d staged.
Hmm for me a course did wonders really. It really allowed me to better express my own needs and feelings and dial in the feelings of others.

What described above I've seen happen, but mostly with beginners or people that use this new found ideas as agenda but without actually connecting with the other, expecting miracles or use NVC as a tool for policing. Or people that were already manipulative in the first place, but now just try to use NVC.

It can also come off as manipulative in an already unhealthy situation, where the relationship consists of so much mistrust that bringing anything new to the table is frowned upon and already met with suspicion.

My personal take away from it was to ensure that I prevent destructive communication and prevent blame using words things like "You should have" because they don't give the other tools to work with and actually address the problem at hand. For me the bottom line of the book was that us expressing our emotions and needs to allow the other, if willing, to actually address the problem at hand. It also made me see that sometimes effective communication was blocked because I had to deal with my own things first.

Communication, empathy, and time to actually listen, is something that unfortunately in my culture isn't thought as a core skill.
Hello the community! After having adjusted ourselves from the pleasure of Spring Festival and re-devote to the busywork, study, and life, Apache DolphinScheduler is here to wish everyone a prosperous and successful journey in the Lunar year of the Tiger.
In this early spring, Apache DolphinScheduler’s first Meetup in 2022 is also coming soon. I believe that the community has already been looking forward to it!
In this Meetup, four guests from our user companies will share their experience when using Apache DolphinScheduler. Whether you are a user of Apache DolphinScheduler or a sideliner, you can definitely learn a lot from it.
We are looking forward to more friends joining us in the future, and more and more users will share practical experiences with each other.
The first show of Apache DolphinScheduler in February 2022 will be broadcast on time at 14:00 pm on February 26th.
You can also click https://www.slidestalk.com/m/679 to go directly to the live broadcast reservation interface!

"Over time I have noticed a strong correlation between sites which don't work right without JS and low-quality content...."

Absolutely true, I can't agree with you more. I've reached the stage where if I land on a site and its main content is blocked if JavaScript is disabled then my conditioned reflex kicks in and I'm off the site within milliseconds.

Rarely is this a problem with sites that I frequent (and I too don't have time to waste reading low quality content).
If successful schools are responsible for less successful schools it might work out.
First attempt is 5. But anxiety levels were sky high. Throwback trauma.
So what do you propose: "People are working around it so we should just give up"? I don't think it's time to admit defeat like that.

This can change, but enforcement and courts by nature are slow. With EU courts striking down asymptotic consent banners as illegal, sites are spooked, and you now see sites adding a "reject all" button next to the "accept all". I still have hope we get there.
Well, die is the singular.
I’m sure if it was intentional that we will find out very soon.
Terraform module args used to be very limited, and I didn’t know how to generate JSON it would take instead of HCL, so I actually used m4 to avoid repeating every template n times. And now we are sad because of course Terraform has improved quite a bit.

Did anyone actually look into the details?

It's likely that we can still block this. My thought is: either the link between the frontend and the proxy is completely up to the developer, which means that developers can write whatever they want between the proxy and google. Possibly opening the doors to the proxy sending fake data to google - which I assume Google wants to avoid. Or the data that is being transmitted is encrypted somehow in the browser so that the proxy can't fiddle with it.

A smart browser extension could be able to figure out that some encrypted data is being transmitted, no?
Two different passports, only carry the right one: easy. And unless US border police is checking any, potential, Iranian travel data the NSA collected I don't see the problem. Confidently telling those border police officers you've never been to Iran seems to be the trickiest part. But hell, it works just perfectly fine for everyone travelling to Israel and any Arabian country, so...
This! The most valuable information is collected via classic communication! We include basic opt-in tracking (selectable in our installer) to get information about basic usage untangled to certain users. While this is just a statistical overview, it shows to us which parts of our software get used only for the customers who activated this kind of tracking.

The most valuable information we get is through our forum which is open to everyone regardless of whether tracking is activated or not.

I agree with a lot in this article. I too have seen 'non-technical' users struggle with Markdown. The popularity of Markdown among developers also reminds me about SSGs (Static Site Generators). Two technologies loved by developers - and no-one else.

"For limited use cases, like blog posts of simple rich text with images and links, markdown will get the job done."

I'd argue it's even less suitable than that. Developers never look beyond Markdown when writing documentation or articles and are thus blissly unaware of the much richer writing possibilties of using HTML (which is simple to learn, unlike CSS).

Full HTML also gives readers a much better reading experience. In Markdown, even a simple image caption is not possible.
I do agree with the advice but I think the natural next-problem is someone is they'll follow it and end up sitting mutely nodding and listening for 20 minutes, then get disheartened because that is obviously not working well.

Being quiet is good but it has to be a component in a broader strategy. The point is still to help people solve their problems; just to have humility enough to realise that it is impossible to know what someone's problems are until they have told you. Guessing other people's problems has a bad success rate. I think the really enlightened strategy is understanding that everyone wants everyone around them to be successful and then being effective at bringing that out into the open and welding a community together.
At the moment, it seems those delivery brands mostly use employees and do not pay bad at all and there is just an awful lot of venture capital being poored into these companies to try and become dominant players
Ok. MotherFuckers be pirates. Does this affect me?

I have a dozen or so websites for clients running the normal google analytics script on those pages. This article is hard for me to parse, but, it just sounds like the idea of keeping some session alive and serving it off the same backend (if the same backend is calling google...?)

I'm probably not understanding what's going on here or how it would affect independent web devs or privacy towards users of our sites (even if we use analytics). Someone explain how this leaks my users info if I don't integrate with any google apis on the back...(?)
I figure parachuting into Andorra might be difficult, but then I don't know anything about parachuting.
I prefer to see it in terms of power hierarchy. Programmers gained a massive advantage in the past decades because they got to dictate to everyone how to work - they went higher in the power hierarchy. This has taken the wages of everyone else lower and lower and lower, while tech companies have been making absurd margins (yes there is a lot of zero sum in it). But now free money is over and inflation is showing its teeth very sharply -- here in europe it is going to be a massive problem.

What you will see is more and more tech-savvy business owners in all other sectors that will reign-in the overpriced-snake-oil salesmen of the big tech and will put developers back in the lower ranks of the cogs hierarchy.
Doctors and lawyers have way more integrity and status, because they are well rounded people as well as experts. They can put their knowledge to the best possible use.

In the software industry there is a lingering stereotype of the eccentric genius who is really good with computers, and really bad at everything else in life, and their computer skills make up for lacking a lot of basic skills of a functioning adult, such as lack of judgement and perspective.

It's expected that software developers are odd and lopsided people who need someone else to babysit them and provide judgement and direction, and by now this has become the norm in the industry and is an established culture in the workplaces, so it also gets perpetuated and it's really hard to even be a well rounded software developer.

Right, so the consistent thing to measure is if the first movie was a hit. So yes, Jurassic Park (1993) is a counter-example to my point. But the sequels are not covered by the rule of thumb

>I really hate to even say this, but "Crazy Vlad" nearby is what true evil is about.

I would say that systematic evil, evil that is a consequence of technology or reality, will always surpass individual evil. It's like comparing the horrors of slavery as an instituted system compared to one really evil, sadistic slave-owner. Or how the native Americas we're to the 90% killed by viruses, rather than the evil of greedy conquerors. Perhaps you could argue that Putin is a manifestation of an evil system as well, but I'd think that if he was replaced by a good person tomorrow, the world would be a radically better place.

Google is clearly working hard, as an powerful institution, to perpetuate the system.
though that's always the problem with non-opensource-secret-intelligence information. we either trust the government/system/organization, or we do not.
