Another advantage to plain text files: source control. You can check your writing into git and get a history of all your edits.

It’s something programmers take for granted, but it would be amazing if this got more widely adopted outside of tech. The number of files with names like “Report Final Final draft v3.docx” is truly staggering.

Do you have such opinion because in less than a week the Russian army with the directive to minimize civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure has not occupied the second largest country in Europe with difficult terrain (a lot of cities, rivers, and forests) and huge army generously supplied for 8 years with modern western weapons? Do you remember how much time it took the US to win the Iraq War? And Iraq is a smaller country, with much denser distribution of population centers, simpler terrain, and smaller technically outdated army. Also the US clearly used air bombardment much more frivolously, which has resulted in a huge number of civilian deaths.

But my guess is that you simply get your information from clearly biased media.

I just don't want them to throw their career/youth away, like I did. Now I'm married to someone from the area and cannot leave (because she doesn't want to ever leave the current county). Before getting too rooted in the area, it could be good to look elsewhere. They could even go somewhere better for a couple years and move back if they want.
You don't need an upfront caveat. You get to decide which of the available jobs, in various agencies you get involved in.
Of course! But my point is that Putin seems to truly believe in that portrayal. If you take what he writes in those essays and says in his speeches at face value, then you can see why he takes the actions he does.

Everyone’s actions can be understood by realizing what they feel and believe. That doesn’t justify the actions, but it explains them. Trying to understand what Putin is about is important to making predictions about how he will react to possible courses of action from the rest of the world.
>Yet it had to wait until 1989 for any sort of independence.

Is it not fair to say the nuclear deterrent has weakened, and the reason Poland had to wait was because NATO was afraid of supporting the resistance too much?
Wow. I almost feel sorry for the employers.

I do not exactly understand this though: "contracts with executive and management personnel and employees who constitute professional staff to executive and management personnel"

Why are they any different? Does it mean that let's say CFO of company A can not quit and be CFO of company B (assuming they do not disclose A's private data / secrets)?

In India dalits are about 20%. In Silicon valley, I would be surprised if they are more than 2%.

India is like 3 different countries when sliced by caste. The highest castes are about as privileged as the typical Chinese. The middle are at sub saharan Africa levels. The bottom 25% constitute probably the most deprived population in the world. Better off than the Rohingyas but not by too much.

> Taiwan's claim on China is more valid - after all, they are the original China unspoiled by the demon of communism.

I absolutely support the freedom of the people in Taiwan - and of those in all of China, though only the ones in Taiwan have it - but the parent doesn't make sense to me:

What is the "original China"? Imperial, Confucian China, which (including many interruptions) goes back over 2,000 years, and ended in ~1911? The predecessors to imperial China? Neither has anything to do with the Nationalists (who fled to Taiwan when they lost the civil war to the Communists).
Two of these then:

From the article it looks like that a "contract for the protection of trade secrets" is permitted to have a non-compete clause. Does anyone feel that is a easy excuse for a Colorado employer to legally have a non-compete?

They may be able to argue that a software or hardware engineer would need a non-compete as they are exposed to confidental IP and don't want them bringing it to another company. Same for a line cook that has knowledge of "secret" recipes or techniques.
There isn't any proof that the Romani left because of their caste.

There is a strong evidence that they might have been driven away by the Islamic invasions, because their timelines coincide.
(I live in CO and think this is A Good Thing).

Back in 1995, working for an Investment Bank in London, Perot Systems tried to have us sign a non-compete that included the primary industry, adjacent industries and basically a circle drawn around London with a (IIRC) a 300 mile restriction on working in IT. Which not only prevented me from working anywhere in England, but ruled out a big chunk of Northern Europe. I assumed that it was because the guys who wrote the contracts were Texan and had a different view of distance than us Brits, but the cultural clash was enormous (contract failed after 12-18 months, but I was gone anyway).

Probably not legal in the UK at the time, but irritated enough of us to leave and go and work somewhere else.
Oh, so you still support application specific passwords. I couldn't find them when I last looked, or maybe it was because applications just moved to the OAuth2 model and didn't offer the option. I'm pretty sure Thunderbird's calendar extension doesn't.

I didn't ever understand why Google allowed you to enter a password into a random piece of software. In fact I'm still somewhat perplexed by them letting you enter it into a browser, but I guess they could be using the browser DRM module to get some assurance they are dealing with software they can trust.

I guess it's just too hard to make move everything to hardware security tokens. Nonetheless, I don't see an choice in the long term - physical security tokens that don't allow firmware upgrades is where we must end up.

The idea that all particles should "participate in physics necessary for the observable universe functioning" is not a rational position, unless you assume a premise such as "the universe was created for a purpose."

Without such a premise, it is completely expected that not every aspect of the universe should have something to do with its functioning.

Even in pure mathematics, with no dependence on the physical universe, you have
Gödelian unprovable propositions which, as Gregory Chaitin put it, are "true for no reason, they're true by accident." If the universe did not include a physical equivalent to this, it would be quite a surprise which would tell us that something very unusual was up.

Your comment seems to be pissing on STEM. Am I completely misreading what you're saying? STEM and the vocational or mechanical arts have been pissed on by the liberal arts for a lot longer than the last 30 years.
Not at all?

A ‘stateless’ JWT with a unique session identifier allows you to check state WHEN YOU WANT, but not when you don’t. So you can use it statelessly to your hearts content, or statefully when you need.

And the short time stamp definitely doesn’t mean an attacker can use it indefinitely, it means they can only use it for a short time before they have to check in with the backend that generates tokens to get a new one - which that backend would know that ‘logout’ or whatever had happened, and not generate one for it.

It sets a maximum period of time where old tokens can be used in a stateless fashion without ‘checking in’, while also not requiring a full synchronous check of a database on every usage of every token.

The problem is clone is more of a start phase after vfork but before fork regardless for github. So it's kind of a bit strange that we call vfork first but that is about templates too.

As for templates they need to be in different languages and in different formats for video games consoles, and so many other formats they port systems and games that sort of work digitally to certain things but not playable to certain things too.

The other problem is that clone is part of syscall interfaces and part of apis and part of a lot of other things too.

Theoretically, if the premium was not worth it, then companies that were not willing to pay the premium should be able to pump out products/services at a more competitive price than companies that are wasting their money on brand name schools.

But it has been happening for many decades or longer, so I assume there is some utility being gained that is worth it, even if it is just from nepotism.

Taiwan was a frontier until the Nationalists, losing the civil war to the Communists, fled there. Taiwan has never been the government of China. Are you saying the Nationalists were the original government of China? They didn't exist as a party until the 20th century and didn't last as a party in mainland China past 1949.

I don't say that to support the CCP - the only legitimate government is one chosen by the Chinese people - but saying "Taiwan and the North were the original governments" is plainly false. The Confuscian emporers, going back 2,000+ years and lasting until ~1911 (with many interruptions), would have by far the best claim on 'original government'.
>If I win in two guesses, am I good or lucky? ...The probability of winning in two guesses is about 2%, so the answer is: mostly lucky

>What first guess maximizes the number of expected wins on the second guess? A: FILET gives you 57.5 expected wins (out of 2,315)

Note that 57.5 / 2315 = 2.4%, so being "good" at the first word can only improve your chances of a two-guess win by at most ~20%. Not that much.

I believe that stat illuminates a MAJOR factor for why Wordle is so popular that I haven't seen discussed yet: it's a game of (almost) pure luck, that successfully gives every man, woman and child of diverse intelligence the perception of being very smart, occasionally.

It's a lottery ticket, if winning the lottery meant you could show off how smart you are.

It would “work” for many jobs, via making the non compete clause totally economically unviable. Some holes for tech job moves with promotion (sometimes significantly more than 20% jumps), and sometimes middle managers (promotions to different companies can sometimes be much much larger for no apparent reason).

The issue for the worker is that the “high end” of their current position may not be near the median of the next position they want to move to.

For employers, there would be very very very few jobs where this was worth it. Which still might be “better” for them than a California style blanket ban on non compete.
Looks like it works quite similarly as in Deno. A notable difference is that it does not cache the imports locally.

Session cookies are generally server-side stateful and trivially revoked, which is why we don't worry as much about their lifespan. JWTs are generally stateless --- that's one of their top-promoted features --- and are, in fact, difficult to revoke.

Nothing - as in literally nothing - is worth seriously risking nuclear conflict. I can’t believe intelligent people are even entertaining this thought.
