Wasn't the esp8266 similar to the arduino in that regard? It used a totally different chip design from expressif, but even so, it was still popular because of the features for the price!
Such is the inevitability of death and taxes.

Companies do this all the time. There’s generally no problem with it. We have an opening for an staff engineer at work, but we’d settle for a senior engineer.

We definitely wouldn’t hire an unqualified person as staff and just pay them less.

Or an overqualified person as senior and pay them way more. That just doesn’t make sense.

Companies also routinely have permanently open positions without exact numbers of positions.
They have 1700 staff in Ukraine, by far the majority of their employees, so it's not surprising that they see things differently to others.

Do those revised calculations take into the energy requirements for generating the muons?

Why are all of the API clients so intent on storing all your requests and environment config in the cloud?

We would keep a directory of relevant collections and environments inside all our application repos, so they would simply be committed along with the code, be versioned, included in PR reviews, etc. But it looks like all of the popular REST client tools use some hidden cloud services. This is also terrible from a security perspective, since environment variables are likely to include secrets.
Right. Internet-configurable power grid control relays were not a good idea.[1]

"Web server interface is supported on UR over HTTP protocol. It allows sensitive information exposure without authentication." (Yes, they actually put a web server in a device which directly controls high voltage relays in power grids.)

"UR IED with “Basic” security variant does not allow the disabling of the “Factory Mode,” which is used for servicing the IED by a “Factory” user."

...

Those particular bugs were supposedly fixed.

Cyberattack on NATO could trigger collective defence clause – official
The submitted article says it:

> "being able to do quick approximations in mid-conversation is a superpower."

So here's something to think about:

* People who can do quick, rough estimations in their heads say that they find it useful, and that the experience is that they have a sort of superpower.

* People who can't do it say that there's nothing special about it, and using a calculator is just as good.

Perhaps people in the second group don't have the information needed to make an accurate assessment.
> These should be two different JDs with different stated salaries.

But I'm only hiring one person. Ideally, the one with all the perfectly matching experience. But I'm not going to wait around forever for the unicorn to show up, so I may likely settle for someone promising who doesn't quite have the experience.

> Or explicitly say "+$50K for candidates with a long track record of .NET and Oracle work".

That's the same as giving a range.
What explanation is given in that 2017 paper for selecting programs from the benchmarks game?

----

Meanwhile we can do better than "every C program is a valid C++ program, so C++ can’t lose" defensiveness.

Look at the data tables published with that 2017 paper:

https://sites.google.com/view/energy-efficiency-languages/re...

There's an order of magnitude difference between the times of the selected C and C++ programs, for one thing — regex-redux. That is enough to explain all of the difference between the C and C++ time measurements shown in "Table 4. Normalized global results". (Seems like an outlier which could have been excluded.)
Why spend all that time interviewing and reference checking then?
I've been thinking a lot about this for https://www.diffdiff.net. After convenience, privacy is the core of the value proposition - the text to diff doesn't get sent to the server.

On the other hand, though, if you want to publish/share a diff, then, you know, privacy is the core of the value proposition, so you probably don't want to share it with the whole world, much less let the whole world edit or delete it!

It's possible to design a scheme with hard-to-guess URLs, URL parameters with "secret edit tokens" and so on, but that feels hard to use and different from how other sites work.

I'm quite torn.
Simply an American, and I’ll be moving my dozen domains off of Namecheap.

Attacking random Russians for something you don’t like of their leader is as dumb as post-9/11 Sikh bashing or interning German/Italian/Japanese after Pearl Harbor and the war declaration.

Well, yes, but maybe they should? It doesn't seem like a huge feature...
There is still competition for labor. Companies can post lower salaries at the risk of attracting less desirable candidates.
@Grollicus covered most of the major points (which means the documentation must be part good). For this library is was that we didn't want to have to add additional columns and change table structure if a user wanted needed to add more languages on in future. Also because we provide our software as separate managed instances, this would have also meant that every system would have had a different database schema - which would have been a nightmare for maintainance.

Other libraries had other similar contraints - such as languages stored in external tables, or needing special querysets to access languages.

Garnett was designed to be an (almost) seemless drop-in that fit into the Django ORM without altering code or data too much.
ps5 load times are much, much shorter than on ps4 because of the ssd. It makes a huge difference.
I think the 'decline' has been greatly exaggerated, in part because it actually helps right-wing populism to exaggerate it. Yes, in some ways, there has been a decline in manufacturing labor required, but it's not strictly because of off shoring, but also because of automation. If you look at various industries, their output hasn't actually declined, while the labor inputs have declined greatly.

When you look at Energy production (US top oil/gas producer in the world), entertainment (hollywood still dominates global soft power), tech leadership (Silicon IP from Apple, Qualcomm, NVidia, AMD, et al still #1 in the world), EVs (Tesla), Space (SpaceX, Rocket Labs, Relativity Space, Axiom, etc), Medicine (mRNA vax), online services, machine learning advancements, software, etc I don't see any trend of 'decline' in leadership from the West. Now, some will counter "but but, China! Look at all of the AI", and certainly, they have deployed a lot of AI, mostly in surveillance, just like they've deployed a lot of high speed rail, but in terms of the truly disruptive research papers that have driven some of the biggest breakthroughs? They've often been centered in Western companies and universities. (Now, there's usually a lot of Chinese co-authors on these papers, often working in Western tech firms, so I'm not bashing Chinese researchers here, I'm just pointing out, there's no real decline in the output sponsored and published in the West, especially when you weight papers by importance)

What's happening is that the participants in the system are becoming more diffuse, and people all around the world can participate and contribute, and access tech centered from the West, and fork off their own regional variants, but this is happening in-addition- to, not at-the-expense-of, the US and Europe. I don't think China's rise is equal to the US decline, that line of thinking I feel is part of the political problem, and it's especially problematic under Xi's China with the excessive Wolf Warrior nationalism that has this air of 'inevitable US decline and Chinese supremacy' to it. It feels like copium to me on the part of nationalists, hoping for a collapse that isn't going to come.

Let's just say the reports of the West's death have been greatly exaggerated.
I'm curious, for Pujol, did you have the tasting menu or the omakase tacos?

I'm asking because the first time I went, I had the tasting menu and was very disappointed, thought it was vastly overpriced for what it was.. I wasn't planning to return but had to (because I was supposed to eat there with a client of mine) and the second time, I had the omakase tacos and absolutely adored it.

So, now I'm curious if you might have had the same experience I had with the first meal.
Chinese foreign policy is typically very cautious. They don't like instability of any kind. That's because they (rightly) see that if things keep on going as they currently are, they are going to outstrip everybody else economically.

NATO was obviously upsetting the world order by expanding eastward, and for
obvious historical reasons, the Chinese are not a fan of NATO, and doubly
dislike a NATO that is changing the status quo. So, they would have very much preferred if everybody had settled the matter in negotiation, with or without the Ukranian's interests being taken into account. However, they are going to be
increasingly unhappy the more bloody, divisive, and destabilizing the war
becomes.

PS: China also doesn't want instability in the west, for the record. Instability causes people like Trump, trade wars, and (god forbid) real wars, which at this point China could only lose. That's in contrast to Russia, which as a declining economy, would be well served by a chaotic situation.

PPS: Obviously, China doesn't want unity in the west either. But nobody wants unity in any bloc they are not part of, as the UK is finding out with the EU. That's not unusual at all.

Saying the U.S. was wrong in the past doesn't make Russia any less wrong now. Also, the optics of Russia invading a neighboring state looks a lot different than the U.S. invading Iraq for aiding and abetting the terrorists involved in the 9/11 attacks.
I suspect the anonymous features are how you get more road. I assume that 99% of people, even with an interest in an alternative to Goodreads and Librarything, are going to bounce when faced with registration, and since they haven't seen anything, won't remember anything.

If you're going to demand registration, I think you have to make a good value proposition off the bat. Probably in the form of a specific practical way the site can be used as an application, with the social thing as a bonus. Right now it looks like a site that after I spend a lot of time entering my books into for the dubious benefit of seeing a picture of them on a virtual bookshelf, will be a ghost town abandoned within a year.

Maybe make the database tools very general and flexible, with easy exports and reports, and push that first? I think of Goodreads, Librarything, and for a slightly leftfield comparison Boardgamegeek, as database-first sites that build community on the fact that they provide free, specialized, and sometimes publicly accessible databases to hobbyists.
Giving someone a home - or actually, forcing them into one - is a good step towards ending their substance abuse habit though. Being stuck outside is depressing and they need something to entertain themselves. I don’t think it’s actually always the case that the drug habits cause the homelessness.

It doesn’t help that the government tends to steal all their stuff in sweeps.
This is a terrific metaphor.

Mis-en-place at home cooking only works if you have a very, very detailed recipe. Just like waterfall — if you’re gonna just full steam ahead on a project you gotta know what you’re working towards. Any missing detail (forgot the garlic! Forgot to think about an edge case!) can derail the recipe/project.

Agile is more like a stir fry, you chop up some onions and throw them in, then see what else you got, all one step a time, and evolve and taste as you go.

This was well written. I appreciate the “commonness” of her article :) . My less literate experiences have been similar, as someone who scoffs at paying more than $10 for a meal.

> before typing any code

That was what the OP said.

For me "typing code" is part of the thought process. These days, with GUI IDEs, and symbolic debuggers, there's almost no excuse to "measure twice; cut once," like we did in the "big iron" days.

I was trained as an artist, and the process of sketching is a lot like the way I work in architecting my code.

Also, I wouldn't call it "wasted" code. What was it that Edison is reputed to have said about 10,000 failed experiments?

"I now know 10,000 things that don't work."

I actually enjoy coding. I also really like my code to be clean, efficient, and useful. If code that I write is not all of these, I don't want it in my work.

I saw a chap that had a .sig that said something like:

"I hate code, and want as little of it as possible in my programs."

Few things make me feel as good as ripping out large swaths of code. It's like lancing a boil.

Without testing, I'd say yes. Anything that can be safely stored in a JSONField can be stored in a string in garnett. But I can test and add some examples.
I guess that's why the word "better" is in quotes.

I've never been to a fancy restaurant and been served food that was cooked worse. It's always been cooked better on any objective measure. But there are quite a lot of dishes that I wouldn't want to eat everyday even if I could afford to. Sometimes it's even been a bit lacklustre even though if you had to look at all the elements, it was all superbly done.
The reason I use Goodreads is to get publicly stated opinions on books, not for a social community. This is not an alternative to Goodreads for people like me at all.
I'd be curious about this too. where can I signup to get a notification?
Yes, there actually is international law. It's not just for NATO, it applies to Russia and Belarus as well.

But Russia is ignoring those laws. What Russia is doing is called "war of aggression": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_aggression

"A war of aggression, sometimes also war of conquest, is a military conflict waged without the justification of self-defense, usually for territorial gain and subjugation."
As a candidate, if I'm giving a range for salary, it means it depends on other factors, like insurance, 401k, paid time off, family leave, etc. I may be willing to take the lower end of the range if the other benefits are attractive.
It's easier to monetize that way. They manage the convenience, your team pays them money. Once your team is using it, you're soft-locked in to continue using it.

Yes, agreed on the security perspective. It's not a secure tool. For that you should consider a desktop client (eg Fiddler) rather than a browser based client
So now all job postings are going to be "Salary range between 50-300k, depending on experience."

3. Lots of high end restaurants have "happy hours" with half-price meals (or so) on those days that have low points. You can also be a little bit less dressy.
It can be done the same way x-rays can be generated. Accelerate electrons in a magnetic field using a syncrotron.

There is also midground which takes good/bad parts of both worlds. Users have id’s but no username or password. Some imageboards use this.
Not necessarily. Hiring is expensive and low balling candidates means they are more likely to consider other options. Recruiters often lead with pay, most candidates are going to be bombarded with linked in messages showing their "market value".

If those recruiters hook one of your low-balled employees, your recruitment costs have doubled, your projects have lost a productive team member, and the next person might ask for even more money.

My I low-balled myself on my first real job. The hiring manager flat out told me that the roll started at $15k+, and offered me $20k more than I asked for, which happened to be exactly the same salary offered to other members of my cohort.
What? Do you reset clocks deliberately by cycling the power, or is it a description of an outage so long it will reset clocks?
The way mega.nz works is the sharable url contains a decryption key in the hash. The server only sees encrypted data, the client requests that data then decrypts it. This design ensures they have no ability to see user content, while still enabling users to share links on the web.
Looks neat - congrats on the launch!

Could you give a high-level overview of the tech stack? I'm specifically curious how you work with the social graph data aspects and approaches to generating recommendations.
You've never once flown an itinerary with two airlines on it? That's a very routine use case, for example hop on an American flight to London connecting to a BA flight to Glasgow or something? In that case you bought your ticket from a different company (AA) than the airline you're flying (BA on the second leg).

That's just one of a million examples. For complex travel arrangements it's just normal.
>It's much easier to avoid thinking about the war in the US. Here it's just another tragedy in a faraway country, and you only hear about it in the news. It probably doesn't affect your daily life.

That was true until Putin decided to saber rattle his nukes. If things go boom, I'll see the flash, and be roasted somewhere between 10 and 50 seconds later, depending on which industrial site they take out first.
This seems to just push the question one level deeper. If African countries are poorly managed, why us that? What causes, for example, European countries to be managed better at scale than African countries?
NATO is not obligated to fight for Ukraine. That is true.

The question is, does NATO need to fight on its own behalf? I would say no, for two reasons.

First, even if Russia rolls over Ukraine, will that leave NATO enough worse off that it justifies going to war? No, I don't think it will.

Second, "you pushed me into it" is Putin's logic (or at least his very flimsy excuse) for invading Ukraine. I really don't want to use the same reasoning.

The only reason that I might buy is that it is morally necessary - necessary because we believe in freedom, and Russia is trying to take away Ukraine's freedom to choose their own future. I'm most sympathetic to that argument, but we've usually only used that in cases of genocide, and sometimes not even then. Ukraine clearly is not at that point... yet.

How the Physics of Resonance Shapes Reality – Science Connected
For long-haul land shipping, the simple solutions are electric trains or Fischer–Tropsch-powered diesel trucks. Maybe methanol-powered trucks or CNG-powered trucks can beat those (not LNG obviously!) but it's going to be an uphill battle.

For short-distance delivery, battery-powered electric trucks probably work fine—battery-powered forklifts have been common inside factories since well into the previous millennium, EVs' regenerative braking dramatically improves energy efficiency in city driving, the high peak power density and rapid slew rate that was such a selling point for the Tesla Roadster is another big plus over diesel, and if necessary fleet organizations can swap batteries daily in ways that would be unacceptably risky for Teamster OOs who could get stuck with a dud battery.

For fast shipping, Fischer–Tropsch Jet A-1.

Sea shipping is a somewhat tougher problem; obviously it's feasible to do with 99% renewable energy, as it was for all of human history until 250 years ago, but today's depreciation rates, geographical specialization and long multinational supply chains, and JIT practices strongly incentivize the much higher power densities of modern shipping. And the cost premium for Fischer–Tropsch diesel over modern bunker fuel is much larger than what truckers and diesel locomotives face.

Fortunately, though very dirty, sea shipping is a tiny fraction of the overall energy mix.
