> Abstaining from votes that can't be won speaks volumes.

The UN General Assembly Resolution condemning Russia overwhelmingly passed.

The UN Security Council Resolution on the other hand never had a chance of passing, but the international community still went forward with the vote they didn’t collectively “fold” knowing no matter what it wouldn’t pass.

In either case a member of the UN abstaining from a vote is not the same as folding in poker, it’s not about winning or losing as shown by the willingness to submit a Resolution for vote by the Security Council, because its about standing in the international community, where abstaining on a vote is itself a political statement not a “fold” that will hide their hand.

Why should their licensing be different than for pilots?

With a private pilots license you can't fly for money, but you can take your friends and family with you.

With a commercial pilots license you can fly for money.

Neither of these are capped, a commercial pilots license just requires slightly more education and experience. Why should licensing for taxis be any different?
When I left my last job, my manager said he trusted me to hand off my work (Only took about 2 days), then take the remaining 8 work days of my 2-week notice as essentially PTO. He only asked me to check my e-mail once a day to see if anybody had any questions for me and to just meet him at the office on my official last day to turn in my laptop.
Fortnite has way more kids playing than Fifa and makes more money, so they're "more" evil, it does not matter if it's a skin on a store it's still a lot of money and kids are hooked to it.

Lootbox issues are no the problem, games like Fortnite, Roblox, CoD are on the same level.
For the most part I agree but the Soviets were integral. Without the Eastern front taking up so much of the enemy resources, the Western front would have been very different.
In addition to that, it's a serious abuse of power & breach of trust on the doctor's part. Doctors are relied on to be ethical.

Noble goal, but I want to point out that ARM recommends using UEFI as the standard way to boot. Then you can just boot whatever popular distro you want without weird tweaks. I’m not a fan of EFI but I think the downsides are less bad these days.
That is really interesting, thanks for sharing. I was thinking of something a little less impressive:

As a child I got very sick at one point and had to be in the hospital. After being discharged, my mother had to keep monitoring my temperature. She would measure it two or three times a day for weeks, and I _always_ had a fever, leading her and the doctor to think I wasn't fully recovered yet. At one of my post-sickness checkups, the doctor suggested my mother stop measuring for a few days. She did, and the next time she measured after this period my temperature was back to normal. The doctor's suspicion, and eventual conclusion, was that my fever was mentally induced; he said I was so used to being sick and having my temp measured all the time, and constantly having a fever, that my body just reacted to the measurement by developing an actual low grade fever.

I noticed a similar effect when pretending to be sick to avoid school over the years. I'd feel totally fine, but "playing" sick resulted in actually getting a fever when my temperature was checked.

I wonder if that kind of accidental temperature elevation could also have metabolism and weight effects. And if it could be harnessed without legitimate debilitating stress or long periods of meditation, since it seems to be pretty simple to induce.

In the end I don't think there's any real trick to weight loss - it's all about calories, in my opinion. But how our mind can impact our physical state is always a fascinating topic to me regardless!
> The doctor used his own sperm, anonymously.

Not for the case of the author of the article, that one is even worse.

And generally, lying about any step with something like this is a massive breach of trust. If things are claimed, they are expected to be honest.

"kill the login screen" is an interesting message, and IMHO warrants a much more prominent placement on the site. Walk a visitor through what that means, since it's a pretty radical departure from what everyone is used to doing. Remember the Salesforce No Software logo? Perhaps you could do something similar.

If they want to be a walled garden, they can be a walled garden. But no embeds, no free traffic from all the news sites and blogs. No free traffic from google. You can't have the cake and eat it too. All of this scumbaggery with serving X to google and serving Z to the humans has to go. It's internet cancer. And I don't use that word ligthly. It's not just Twitter that does this, instagram, facebook, etc. all do this. It should have been regulated away a long time ago and harshly fined because THAT is what makes the current internet not open. Internet is about free(ish) access to information, and like it or not, Twitter is the current "breaking news" creator and aggeregator #1 (by orders of magnitude). If an adult voluntarily posts content to twitter, content that is intended to be public, an twitter tries to prevent public access to that information, a reaction to that should be disgust, not saying "what's in in for twitter". What's in it for ME. Me. Me. Me. I. My family. Maybe my friends. My company. Everyone else can go fuck themselves, right?

The situation with Ukraine and a lot of news and media breaking on twitter are a current, glaring representation of how twitter makes money on people's suffering... but it isn't the first and sadly won't be the last, because of people like you.

Coca Cola don't (usually) bottle/can the drink themselves.

They make a syrup in Atlanta, GA, and distribute that worldwide. A local bottling plant mixes it according to Coca Cola's instructions with sugar (or HFCS in the US), water and CO₂.

Assuming there's still demand for soft drinks in Russia, the bottling plants are going to make alternatives -- either an existing brand, or a new one — from locally made syrups.

This is a textbook example of abusing FOMO (fear of missing out). It's real and Epic does it exactly because of this effect on people.

If you're not completely convinced by some cosmetic item you might say "I don't know whether I really want this so I'll just wait and maybe buy it later". But if it's time-limited, in this case without indication whether it'll ever be on sale again, you cannot wait and decide later. It's deliberate time pressure on the decision.
have you worked on a cubesat mission?
Well, yeah that might be a case for some. But the companies I was complaining about don't have a dev churn, it's the same people based on their work history.
I agree with you. They assume the level of math of an MIT freshman. And the level of computer experience of a modern 11 year old. So sometimes they lean on the math in situations where a professor today might explain something in terms of a computer. Take a step back and try to understand the concepts that they are explaining, even if your math is a little rusty. I love SICP, it really make functional programming click for me. The other book I recommend in this space is Advanced R.
I agree with you entirely :) my company is in love with tests! To get a promotion I need to pass something like 8 tests that are brutally graded. My interviews for a non-developer but technical position required 2 tests and a ton of bs brain teasers.

I think I've nailed the source of this disconnect. I don't say it's a 4 hour assignment and then get mad when people don't spend longer, or filter our anyone who does well in the four hours. I go solely by the code I'm given. It's just that around 30% or applicants or so clearly spend longer because the assignment is so well done. That is all. I'm guessing this end result would happen with any amount of time I specify, be it 6, 9 or 20 hours.

Some people just really put effort in, and as I said in my top comment others don't. Often those others don't for valid reasons-- they have an offer on the table, they want another job more, etc. As I've said in other comments, I have no way of knowing who has put in more time (aside from Git history which isn't a clear picture, but indicative), nor would I create a malicious metric. Also, I clearly stated that I viewed this as a con of our hiring process. I'd love a clearer way to even out the time, but barring bringing in some more stressful process like some timed app or timed challenge, I don't think I can.

Say what you want, but rewarding folks who spent more time isn't disrespectful to other people who didn't. No job is a first come first serve scenario, you're both assessing each other on a variety of things, and it would be unfair of me to disregard people who excel out of fairness to those who don't.

Appreciate the reply! I think this is dependent on uptake of payment methods with QR codes and similar. If FedNow enables a similar UX as in China with WeChat Pay, uptake potential is greater for in person payment. I can already P2P and P2B others with Venmo and Zelle using a QR code, and Walmart Pay uses a QR code for it's UX (examples off the top of my head).

TLDR “Are phones or cards the future of mobile payments?” TBD.
Is there a torrent I can see or an IPFS hash I can pin?
Right. More than that, you get NDAs signed before the meeting. I’ve never known this to not be standard practice. At least when the person you’re talking to doesn’t have a greater leverage in the meeting—but then you naturally restrict what you say under such a circumstance. This sounds like childish behavior on the part of Apple, but honestly when I’ve never been able to change the snooze time on the alarm app, that is what I expect. If I were CD Baby, I would have never gone back to that, as long term you’ve got greater leverage when all the competitors are getting access. In fact, I would have doubled down and paid developers to start working on iPod compatibility for the competitors.
UK. All previous employers have had 1-month notices which I think is more common. I don't think it's too big of a deal because the management chain seems to be pretty understanding and it will probably be okay not to serve the full notice. And it's dumb from their point of view too because they don't want to be paying for 3 months for someone who will be very unmotivated and unproductive. The main inconvenience that it causes is that it makes conversations with potential new employers a bit more awkward.
The benefit of the coding puzzle platforms is as a hiring firm you get shown data about all applicants who took that test, and it’s standardised.

You also get pretty high resolution data about how your applicant performed (like their intermediate submissions, editing history etc) and how their solution performs compared to other applicants.

So all of that comparative info on a less directly relevant test can actually be more useful than n=2 or 3 on a direct proxy of your actual job.

Also I disagree with the premise that these exercises don’t carry over. The ability to puzzle through an algorithm you haven’t seen before in under an hour is directly useful and a common task in any domain that is algorithmically complex and not just gluing CRUD frameworks together (and even that gets complex once the scale is big enough)

A basic step for securing a resource intensive API from DDOS attacks and some user impersonation attacks is to rely on a security token in a cookie set in the response to an earlier request. For example, a user may land on a web page and receive a unique, encrypted, short-lived security token cookie that is marked http only (inaccessible to javascript), plus a copy of the token in cleartext. When the user agent later polls an expensive API, it must send the cleartext token as part of the request. Server-side, that's compared to the encrypted copy (received from the cookie) and the expensive call is terminated early if they do not match.

A DDOS attack that relies on a malicious ad or web page directing user agents to poll your expensive API in a loop will no longer work as well, because those user agents will not have the correct security token cookie value, and the attacker is unable to figure out what the correct value is for any given user agent running their malicious code. More sophisticated/expensive attacks are still available, but anything is an improvement.

There are a few ways to skin this cat, so don't refer to the above as a how-to-guide - find a more authoritative voice on best practices than me, please, if you try to implement security like this.

Anyhow, if you want to use an API implementing security like this, you copy the cookies out of your browser and feed them to your program so it can add them to the calls.

A great way to do that is too use smaller plates. The mind is pretty easily tricked; a small plate overflowing may lead to feeling fuller than a large plate sparsely occupied.

Not as much of a weird truck, but I agree it's also great to avoid eating out if you can. I've developed a few meals that I can prepare very easily (sometimes within just a few minutes), are decently satiating, cheap, and not unhealthy. Luckily, I don't get bored with my food - I've literally spent a year eating the same breakfast every day - so the lack of variety with meal prepping doesn't bother me.
Yes, if we consider your completely imaginary numbers that have no basis in reality or even basic reasonableness then sure, it makes perfect sense.

I have a local media collection that I like to have as background noise/entertainment while I work. One thing I didn't like about self-managed libraries vs radio/television/etc. is that I still had the cognitive load of choosing what to watch, specifically. So I wrote a small program to take a list of shows and shuffle them[0] then interleave episodes. Depending on when you start this channel, it has a time offset so you're dropped in the middle of an episode (just like channel surfing!), and has support for showing a certain show only in sequential order[1], and even adding commercials between episodes.

[0] Native shuffle in my media player didn't feel random enough, with a poor play count distribution. Switching to programmatically shuffling means I can also weight things so that a specific show is more/less likely to show back-to-back.

[1] I actually only consider the smallest continuous run of unwatched episodes, starting from the end of the series, and interleave vs shuffling the episodes.
It's a bit of a shame that Linux doesn't put the kernel at the low end of the address space and identity-map the kernel's address space. For one, calculating kernel address mappings would be slightly faster, and for two, it would allow putting 64-bit processes at the top of virtual memory, where pointers are NaN when bit-cast to pointers, so NaN-boxing language runtimes get a speed bump.

I wonder how much software assumes it's being mapped in the lower portion of the address space.
I have a short list I keep of examples where laypeople have to use enterprise software - specifically software that is designed without caring about the user and optimized to sell to "leadrship" over golf or whatever.

I think you've missed the point of this comment thread. Head up to great-great-great-grandparent comment:

"IME this is one of the most common economic misconceptions that people have, to think that the economic cost of a tax is borne by whoever nominally pays it.
Most people with no economics background will for example think that it's just companies that pay salary related taxes, or consumers who pay VAT. Those are both true in the accounting sense that the money is paid by those respective parties to the government but not in the economic sense of who would have the extra money if there were no tax."

Elsewhere in the thread is the example of credit card feeds which technically are paid for by the merchant, but economically are paid for by the consumers.

Now try to carry these concepts to your Real Estate Agent scenario. I shall leave that as an exercise.
I've been taught that if you are selling high tech products to C-levels at the biggest companies you want to have highly information dense slides (e.g. condense 2 slides into 1, then condense 2 of those slides in 1) but also have them well organized so you can make a presentation that drives home a few key points.

> Java 11, with the introduction of lambdas, makes it trivial to express what used to require 10-15+ lines in 1-3 lines.

Makes this bit from the OP shine:

"Bill Joy ... was often comparing [Oak/Java] to more complicated and elegant languages like Python and Beta. He would often go on at length about how great [Oak/Java] would be if he could only add closures and continuations and parameterized types."

I'm sure they faced tradeoffs and Java's industry story is near unmatched so it's hard to argue they made categorically wrong tradeoffs, but imagine an alternate universe in which lambdas/closures and a few other features tamed verbosity and enabled python-comparable succinctness in Java back in the 90s.
Then you would be highly unprofessional. I'm on a three-month term where I am, it's fairly standard around here. I would expect to work as normal during those months, and other people that I have watched go through notice have done the same.

If that /was/ true, out-of-the box state should be absolute minimal, not including things like Android Auto, Google TV, or Playground.
Absolutely. But it's also a question of what you want to optimize. Is it more about making sure you keep your current job, is it about maximizing income or is it about having peace of mind?

First, figure out what is the probability of you being able to find a new job. For most developers that are reasonably good, in the current market, finding a new job of at least the same compensation (probably more!) is possible, if not easy.

Assuming the calculation from the previous item goes well and if you want to optimize for peace of mind, say what you feel. If it turns out you have a bad manager, start looking for a new job. Getting fired immediately in the situation described in the original comment is extremely unlikely. If you get the impression that things are not going as expected, start looking for a new job.

If you want to optimize for keeping the current job and not for peace of mind, yes, technically the safest way for now is keep doing what the original poster said. However, how long can you keep that up? How bad will it make you feel to keep faking?

Also, it's very common to over-estimate the likelyhood of extreme edge cases happening. They are possible, but need to be weighted with the likelyhood and the risk. Again, if you are fairly certain that you can get a new job if needed, then the risk is small and the likelyhood (as you mentioned) is low. However, the peace of mind change can be substantial. To me it seems worth it. Maybe to you it wouldn't be. Then yes, don't do it. But it's important to think of all the factors and not just focus on not rocking the boat. Sometimes risks are worth taking. Sometimes not. Life's complicated and you only get one go at it :)
