MS screwed up my 2 Skype account migrations. For single player probably a cracked launcher should work but if your kids play multiplayer you might have no choice and maybe create a Minecraft-only MS account and hope MS is not link it behind your back with your other accounts and skype.

F.U. MS, you could let us use the stuff we paid without forcing us into your shit again, some business person really wanted to simplify his spreadsheets or get some bonus because he pushed for new MS accoutns to be created then phase 2 link a credit card and phase 3 add dack patherns so kids buy skins?
I'm in that boat (it's my only OG nerd cred). I did that process. Reach out to their support. They'll have you provide the paypal transaction ID, purchase dates, and a new e-mail. They take it from there.

It really wasn't that hard.
Relatedly... I also can't sign in via embedded browser. I understand they have reasons, but like, shouldn't there be A way to do it if it's an embed that you trust? I don't get it.
Depending on the type of company, in some countries in the EU there is a required minimum depending on company age for the Founders. This might skew the lower bound a bit (if they included those).
I think we agree: a lack of heroes and an abundance of cowards. This isn't a democratic viewpoint per se, just a direct usage of the terms. It's not really even a criticism, just an observation.

Glimpse.ai | Multiple Engineering Roles | Baltimore or Remote | Full-time | VISA Sponsorship Available | $150k - $300k + Benefits + Equity | https://www.glimpse.ai

Glimpse.ai is a profitable, stable, and growing artificial intelligence startup that is building an NLP product that automatically writes content about any subject with the same level of quality, factual accuracy, and usefulness as a human. This product already has thousands of monthly paying subscribers and our MRR has been growing by 10% month over month.

Senior Machine Learning Engineer - Deep Learning https://careers.glimpse.ai/o/machine-learning-engineer

Our research is centered around making language modeling more accurate, fluent, and useful for users. You would be at the intersection of research and production code - taking our research roadmap and helping make it a reality. You will be constantly ingesting research papers, building prototypes, and later turning those prototypes into production code.

Our ML work almost exclusively involves very heavy deep learning (transformers) and we primarily use PyTorch.

You will be working directly with our Founder/CEO (me!), who is leading the AI team, both as a manager and an individual contributor.

If you have done work with transformers for text generation, information retrieval, or text style transfer (and especially if it has advanced SOTA), we would be very interested in talking with you. We would also be very interested in talking with people who have used reinforcement learning for NLP tasks.

===

Senior Full Stack Engineer https://careers.glimpse.ai/o/full-stack-engineer

You would be responsible for taking our AI and allowing giving our users ways to use it and interact with it. What is the point of AI research if there is no way for anyone to use it and derive value from it?

Our stack primarily involves Ruby on Rails and React.js. We use technologies such as PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and RabbitMQ.

Our full stack team is still young enough that you will be able to have a lot of impact on the design, architecture, and stack that we use now and in the future.

If you have industry experience doing full stack work (no matter what the stack), we would love to hear from you. We would also be very interested in talking with people who have the experience and desire for a Team Lead position.

Not being EU citizen, I am in no position to tell them to stop, though personally I definitely would.
To clarify, the original Java version of Minecraft is essentially the same game with more gameplay features, the Bedrock version is the one with the microtransactions. Plus, the Java launcher lets you use any version going back more than a decade, so if you're not happy with the new features you can just pretend they never happened like some parts of the modded community do with versions after 1.7.10.
There's also the coincidental timing that the referenced materials were all released within the last month.
Yes, in response to Russia building up an invasion force Biden re-affirmed the stance that Nato has had for over a decade. What changed wasn't Ukraine going into Nato, what changed was Russia deciding to invade Ukraine. It's a pretty basic principle that you can't let Russia dictate Ukraine's foreign policy.
Not migrating. I put the servers I’m hosting into offline mode so everyone can play with unauthenticated clients. Using MultiMC instead of the original launcher, but still need to find a reliable way to download the latest clients when we want to update. Minecraft without Microsoft

I think calling web components "cumbersome" belies the intention of the APIs, which is to enable custom HTML elements, encapsulation, and interop - fairly low-level concerns.

Lit takes care of templating and reactivity. Web components don't have those, it's expected that you use other methods, including what you already use, to create DOM and react to state changes.

The DOM may eventually add templating and reactivity, but that's a pretty big question given how many approaches and syntaxes there are. Until then libraries are fine and allow for multiple opinions.
The thought of contract workers wearing off-color Ericsson badges parading into a building where they might end up beheaded while on a mission to install 802.11ac routers… is quite dystopian.
Ugh I recently tried to recover a MS account to use Teams (only begrudgingly), was a nightmare.

As for Minecraft, I got an account ages ago (long before Notch sold) and at this point I'll consider it lost and simply play Minetest whenever I feel like Minecraft...
It should be layer 0, not layer 2. Full coordination is not a good default.
This 3D space trend is so weird. Nobody wants this. Kids fresh out of college think it’s super cringe, and anyone older won’t bother wasting their time.

Talk about throwing their money away.
I tried this process twice in the past two years. Despite providing them with the original PayPal receipt and transaction ID, and still having control of the original email address that the receipt was sent to, and even knowing the original UUID of my user account, I was told that they were unable to verify my identity because:

> we've had some issues with searching for PayPal transaction IDs lately. We may not be able to use the PayPal transaction ID alone.

Sucks to be me, I guess. It would probably make more sense to just pay for a new account than to try arguing with them again, but I'm stubborn enough to stand on principle.
I don't think complaining about needing a linter makes sense. JSX is already a compiled language, so you have a compile and build step (doubly so if you're also using Typescript). Think of ESLint rules-of-hooks as just a plugin to your compiler that further modifies the syntax of JavaScript to include rules about when and how you can call certain functions.

Hooks are a syntactic element of react code. Calls to them aren't legal inside conditionals or loops.

Full linting support smooths over that rough edge just as effectively as babel handling ?. syntax smooths over its absence in certain JS runtimes.

I personally am fine sticking with Gmail as I really enjoy the interface/features. One of the things I really like is the scripting I can do with Google Sheets, Gmail, and my Google Calendar. I have some pretty nice automations setup that do things like automatically adding details to my calendar based on emails. Parsing emails to put data into a spreadsheet, automatically adding details to calendar entries for certain things, etc...

What I do to avoid too big of a headache with a lockout is using my own domain name. I essentially just forward my emails to my Gmail account. And then I set it up so I can reply with my own domains address in emails. So if I want to switch to a different provider it's just a matter of switching where I forward to or switching mx records. I also use Google takeout to take frequent full backups of all my data.
The large Toyota dealership I was last at offered a simple interest loan. I thought this must have been an unfortunate misuse of the word “simple” in a loan context, but I pressed him further and he definitely meant “simple interest” as in the one high school maths teachers warn you against.

Of course I agreed and payed it off the same week, but these loans must be targeted toward the uneducated or poor.
I believe it is a joint project with a UK or US partner - squeeze out the UK/US partner?
It’s kinda of scary that after all the bloodshed by US and NATO, some people think they need to be even more aggresive.

You know, the standard of humanity shouldn’t be “Unlike Russia or China, at least America doesn’t oppress their own”.

It would take an insane amount of work.

Minetest is not remotely close to feature parity with Minecraft.
It is unusual. Google uses some of those cookies to determine whether it can lower the "threat signal" on your user agent (a UA carrying tokens that only Google could have issued to it is a huge indicator that Google has a pre-existing trust relationship with that UA).

By throwing away those cookies, your browser is doing the equivalent of showing up to the Google DMV wearing a different hat / sunglasses / beard pattern every time; the agent behind the counter can't say "Oh, that's just tomxor, I know them at a glance already so I by default trust they aren't an active threat to me" and has to do the equivalent of going through the process of doing a background check on you every time.

> But Google is optimising for the 99% at the risk of locking out 1%, that seems careless to me.

It's not careless; it's extremely intentional. Google has a responsibility to protect the 99% and assumes that those who are Internet-savvy enough to do the work to wonk up their UA's thumbprinting are Internet-savvy enough to do the additional work to make that process smooth for their fancy non-defaults configuration.

At the scale they operate, you can expect Google to make the decision that benefits the 99% over the 1% most of the time (particularly when it comes to account security). They'll assuredly risk losing business by making the 1%'s auth story more inconvenient if it makes it 1% more likely that the 99% don't lose the whole farm to a hacker.

As a reviewer, this is how I approach it. And it has been catching on my team.

- Don't block the commit. Review as soon as possible.
- Focus on finding bugs.
- Ask questions if you don't understand something.
- Sometimes I make suggestions.
- Before requesting a change I ask myself. "Is it wrong or is it just not the way I would do it".

As a committer. I try to make small commits. They are easier to review.

>” It is possible that people from marginalized groups will self-report higher levels of pushback for the same code review than people from non-marginalized groups, owing to persistent discrimination experienced elsewhere.”

I think this is quite the possibility like the child who gets picked on by parents and siblings feels like when strangers critique them it’s part of the same dynamic when it isn’t.
I am not sure where was this comment pointing at, but Henry Kissinger despite his fallacies, negotiated two of the bloodiest conflicts in post-WWII theater: Vietnam War & the Yom Kippur War.

Now, some may still be critical of the first, but his role in Yom Kippur War was absolutely critical in brokering peace.
The same information was available in Russia, just different conclusions were made. Every political analyst focusing on Russian foreign policy is throwing away now years of their publications and research, because they based them on a wrong assumption (the one that Biden administration did not have - that Putin is rational).

Oso | Engineering Leader, Software Engineer, Developer Advocate, Product Leader | New York City (NYC) | Onsite or Remote

Over the last 15 years, companies like AWS, Stripe, and Twilio have helped developers offload anything not core to their apps so they can focus on what matters to their users. Despite a lot of progress in developer tooling, most developers still roll their own authorization.

You might start with something quick 'n dirty – some IF statements and roles in a database, which may not be pretty but gets the job done...until you need to add more features, and more features. And inevitably every team band-aids onto this system until they do a big refactor. This is lost time for an area that's not core to what most companies are trying to solve for their users, and what's more, no one on the team is feeling great about this work.

At Oso (backed by Sequoia), we're building the first batteries-included framework for authorization so developers don't have to roll it on their own ever again. We're designing slick APIs to cut down the amount of time they spend getting their system set up, and building a fully-fledged policy engine and programming language (in Rust) under the hood to ensure they can customize their system however they need. We don't have any product managers – the engineers on the team are responsible for taking broad problems, experimenting with potential solutions and shipping a superhuman experience for our users.

The team members who join now will not only have a disproportionately large impact on the product, but also on the culture and future of the company.

We are based in NYC and hiring folks remote or onsite.

At least you've cost MS more money through four experts than them giving you the game back directly. So there's that, I guess.

Now I wonder if fixing such edge cases would be more expensive for them than making users go through these "experts" again and again...

Me neither, but spreading FUD about RISC-V as they've been doing doesn't help their credibility should they take the MIPS path.

Any pointers to docs showing how to get GCC/Clang to emit vectored code based on scalar C source?
The difficult part is that development is very broad, so I doubt there are generic resources that will provide info that is actually usable.

My suggestion: They could ask the developers they are working with whenever they feel a lack of context or understanding. Asking questions will also show a genuine interest in their work, which alone can improve collaboration. I also think most developers are willing to explain things to people who take an interest, and are also very capable of explaining things in an understandable way. Just "translating" the jargon alone goes a long way.

Another approach is to actually learn some coding to "get a feel for it". For example following a codeacademy course or similar. Relatively low effort, high impact. Even if a few lessons might not learn you a lot of usable skills, it will no longer look like "magic".
Yet somehow the US government can't even prevent me from downloading copyrighted torrents.
