We lost a bunch of ash out of a small playground park near my house (Kitchener). They did the injections for a few years, but it seemed even at the time like it was more just putting off the inevitable. Or like, it was a way to do them in batches so we didn't lose all the shade in one fell swoop.

In any case, the replacements have been a mix of slower-growing native species, so that's at least positive— in 10-20 years there will be shade over the park again, and hopefully it being more diverse will make it a bit more robust to new species-specific bugs.
zenhub appears to be having issues as well (can't load ticket at all) due to their GitHub integrations I assume.
It was the standard in the printing industry for a small shop, things like graphic design time or press setup. A third goes to labor (just the skilled individual, not including CSRs,mgmt,etc), a third goes to overhead (the people not accounted for in the first category,rent,etc), a third is 'profit' (though mostly re-invested if the owner is paying themselves as labor or overhead). An individual producer can say it's all labor, but then they're doing overhead for free (marketing, resupply, maintenance) or skipping it, and any reinvestment comes from personal funds instead of the business (new tools, outsourced services). Of course materials and equipment time was marked up similarly. And this was just a rule of thumb- you'd have to adjust from there depending on market. But if you were charging less than that you were probably going to hurt the business long term.
The feminist campaigner telling the stories of murdered women
Well, if we're going to talk about edge cases, I also see the opposite: people who are allegedly at EM or staff levels coming in for phone screen interviews and only getting a recommendation to move forward at senior level.

One thing that became apparent to me is that despite companies having rubrics for levels, the actual levels vary a lot, certainly between companies but even between teams as well.

Perhaps it speaks to the idea of "getting promoted until your ceiling of competence" that standardization of levels across organizations is a concern that typically only gets tackled at around ~L8+ in the tech career ladder. Or, of course, as you alluded, maybe the problem is simply that hard by its very nature.
I love working with JS/TS (front, back, tooling), but find Node more and more annoying (especially bothered with packaging a release for production, lately).

So naturally I tried Deno lately.

Some things mentioned in other comments were really nice, but the lack of retrofit with the Node ecosystem is a shame. So many years and efforts and community growth are sitting right next door only to be ignored...

I can't understand that.
We're seeing the fascism part of full display as Zelensky refuses to surrender, instead preferring to throw civilian bodies to the altar in sacrifice of the Nation. Imagine cheering on Saddam Hussein as he hopelessly hung onto power and sacrificed thousands of innocents. This is precisely what the Western establishment media is doing right now, modulo Zelensky, because he's the "good guy".

The hostile part has been obvious for 8 years, and escalated last year. 14,000 dead, war declared on Russian Crimea last year, etc.
Not OP, but I have experience with the layers they describe. These are not separate Google Analytics products, but levels of implementation of the Google Analytics code.

The first level they mention is out-of-the-box, no setup Google Analytics. You install the site code and you get metrics. You don't need to be a developer or have any real skills to accomplish this. It is essentially low-effort, low-return.

The 2nd and 3rd layers do not require an investment in Google, but they do require an investment in people. You'll need someone who understands the Google Analytics API, the Measurement Protocol, how the script collects and sorts data, who can install, configure and implement Google Tag Manager, and who has at least an intermediate understanding of HTML/CSS/JS.

There is no nomenclature apart from the aspects of Google Analytics I described above, but you can read more about them here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/
Who is a programmer to prevent others from being rebels because they enjoy it? There's freedom and creativity in nonsense, and that might be worth preserving, especially when not crucial to fulfilling the task at hand (which gender rarely is).
i agree; universe was a little too bleak, which was trendy at the time. we need something campy and fun.
Yes and no; there are a few handfuls of apps that Made It in that they are only viable as apps, the ones that people will cycle through and open up multiple times a day. It is really hard to get to that point though. I mean the last ones I can think of that people installed were TikTok (similar appeal as Instagram, maybe Snapchat) and FaceApp (short lived gimmick).
To be fair their podcast has two programmers and a stay at home dad so it makes sense why he only had focus on his kids. The app isnt worth .99 cents though with questionable utility and a plethora of other apps that do this for free.

Russia-Ukraine war: How Moscow’s tactics are evolving in Ukraine
Hmm... It seems I was under informed. But if these things are problems, then we should try to fix them right? Doesn't that mean the "think of the children" crowd was actually right? We should be making games less violent, or at least provide accurate information about age appropriateness with nuanced content warnings.

> Unit cost US$70,000[1]

Indeed that's very cheap and single-use is a no-brainer. The firepower isn't great though ( "equivalent to a 40mm grenade"), especially in a naval engagement ( the original discussion). You'd need more than that to sink an aircraft carrier; however if the idea is just to render temporarily inoperable, well targeted strikes ( against an aircraft carrier deck, a frigate/destroyer radar/missile launcher) could be enough-ish.
> Google has so many resources and so many dispersed projects that individually are world class (virtual machines, programming languages, UI design, OS microkernels etc.) but they don't bring them together to a coherent something that really could bring things forward.

This is the curse of being a big company. Google is not unique in this sense. I remember a conversation I had with Cory Doctrow few years back. I met him at Cambridge's(UK) Judge Business School where he was giving a lecture to promote open-source ideology. After the lecture I was walking back home and he was going to the bus-stop. So we started chatting, and I bragged about my employer telling him that my company has open-sourced its Operating System. He looked stunned and asked "Which company??". I said Symbian :) And he said, "Ah! Nokia!" :) And then he pulls out an N95 out of his pocket and says "Nokia makes fantastic hardware, but look at the software! You can't even find a menu item. One has to press 2-3 buttons to just find an app." Then he pauses as says, "I visit Nokia, and meet lot of people there. They have some of the smartest people. You talk to them individually, you realise how smart they are." And then he waves the N95 and says, "But you put them together, and they come up with this!" :) I understood what he was saying!
That’s a twisted interpretation of what I wrote. One can be disgusted to a high extent, and then from that baseline even more disgusted by some _added_ on top of it. Just because a despicable thing is happening, one must not justify viewing the whole world through that lens _alone_ and refuse to reason things in other contexts.
It's the ideal outcome, I guess. But a number of projects end up just re-abandoned six months later after the person merged their own thing and pushed a release with it. I guess that's good for having moved it forward at all, but it certainly doesn't feel like a complete solution.
The movie was always a favorite of mine, and I think Shanks did a servicable job after Spader (even though no one could replace Russell). I would love a reboot of SG1 that isn't shackled by the budget of a 1997 genre TV-show. The spin-offs got gradually further away from what I liked about the initial premise, even if I understand what others might like about them.
> Actually, I kind of HATE series works, because they are quite often seat-of-the-pants situations where the author really has no idea where it's all going

Often, authors even start a series as a number of stand-alone books with clearly bounded character-and-plot development (think Star Trek), and then later morph it into an overarching-story-plot style series. See: Dresden Files, Kate Daniels, etc.
"Neither" is an option. The marketing copy indicates something else.

But that'd be the best option yes.

This is a very good reason. After a few years using emacs and at some point reading the introduction to elisp book (included in emacs), slowly building up my config I now write small snippets here. The fact that you can evaluate everything everywhere also makes it easy to play around and incrementally test your way to the desired outcome. The "creator mindset" have made me way more comfortable digging into code bases in general when for example trying to grok sparsely documented features of open source libraries.

Also, magit! It is one of the few pieces of software that makes me happy. It also taught me git, which really is a force multiplier when used properly (or consistently).

This being said. I also see that it could be a lot of work to get emacs up to par with for example PyCharm for web apps.
Short and fat--never a smoker. Still collapsed my right one and then the left one a week later. The doctors said they'd never seen that (bilateral in such a short timespan with no apparent cause) and had no idea what could be causing it. I had to laugh. Pectoris Excavatus or other skeletal abnormalities can cause it but I don't have any of those either. Just luck of the draw I guess.

This happened to me in college. Driving home from the movies, chest started to hurt on inhale .. I decided to "sleep it off", which obviously didn't work. Went to the ER in the morning. Got the chest tube and spent about a week seeing if it would heal naturally, then they removed the offending part of my lung, and did a mechanical pleurodesis (a procedure that sticks your lung to the chest wall so it can't collapse). All-in, was over two weeks in the hospital, and a good bit of recovery after.

If this holds true, and it's a big if, I guess this might be a pretty big deal for aviation as we try to hit net zero? Maybe it could also revive hydrogen in the automotive sector but I feel like EVs have 'won' that competition. This is probably still less efficient than lithium ion batteries but there are probably all sorts of uses that I'm not thinking about. Definitely doesn't hurt to push 'all of the above' when it comes to energy storage options. God knows we're going to need everything and the kitchen sink to stop cooking the planet.
I personally appreciate the insight. I don’t have a desire to purchase Windows ever in the future. I’m waiting on my turn to buy a Steam Deck and want to see how well that does for gaming, which is really the last barrier for me going to Linux. I’m more akin to a regular computer user outside of work. Browsing, playing games and occasionally editing pictures or documents. All which can be done easily (and usually for free) on Linux.
> But then creating TUIs now require as much complexity as creating single window GUIs (requiring handling events outside the program)

No way dude. All you need to do is catch SIGWINCH and then ioctl/TIOCGWINSZ to get the new size. Back when I was into roguelike development, responding to the terminal resizing took scarcely more than a half dozen lines of C. I wish I knew of a GUI system this simple.
Maybe those genetics have an immunity? That's the case with beech trees where I live, they have a tough time but a few survived the plague that swept through them. I wonder how one could test if it's something special about the trees.

I've been a professional iOS developer for a decade. 6 months is way too long for that app. My very first app took 10 weeks, including learning to program, and it was more complex than MaskerAid. And better looking, was even featured in the app store in a few countries.
Been wondering about the trademark, there are a lot of variants with names also ending in -le (eg Nerdle, Semantle), would they be in any danger of getting a cease and desist? Asking for a friend ;)

I'm asking about the name because you can't patent gameplay afaik, so even if it was a straight clone, as long as the word list (and code?) was original it would be OK.

On the other hand I recall Worlds.com suing (somewhat successfully?) both Second Life and Minecraft, so maybe you can patent game concepts?
if i have to think about what the browser-equivalent operation would be when i'm working with a server-side API, i'm going to use a different language entirely.

Was having issues last night uploading files. This is getting old.
That's amazing, thanks for sharing. Going in rather uninformed, I expected it to 'look better' by typical smoothing tricks and whatnot...but no. It has -tons- more detail...looking at little things like wrinkles in the socks and shirt and whatnot. Impressive.
First mover advantage, but it'll only take off if you work really hard in the first month or so to get the word out and become a 'household name'.

That said, yeah it's likely there will be competitors springing up left and right if it becomes popular (recent example is this "unpacking" game, the app store was flooded with clones within a month). For apps like this, your best hope is probably that a bigger party like Instagram knocks on your door and offers to buy you out to integrate the feature into their own apps. It's cynical, but this is where we find ourselves; I don't believe single feature apps have much of a future.

A photo manipulation app (generally speaking) is great, but unless you add a social network to it like Instagram did it's not going to go far.
I don't work at a bigger tech company myself (so take this with a pinch of salt), but have had plenty of interaction with people who do/did, and I'd summarise broadly:

- Salaries are generally a bit higher base than the rest of the permanent tech market, higher still total compensation, lower than the same companies in the US market, and lower overall than the contracting rates which are popular in the London tech market. You will definitely receive a reasonably comfortable and competitive salary, decent pension contributions, shares, and decent holiday entitlement.

- The interview process is the same nonsense as anywhere else.

- Engineering culture appears to be pretty relaxed. I've heard way more complaints about colleagues who don't pull their weight than I have about companies expecting personal sacrifice.

- There are some interesting teams and challenges but the selection is more limited than other markets.

YMMV.

> In C and C++, silent data-corruption can occur if you try to write into an array but go out-of-bounds. That doesn't happen in many other modern languages. Unlike Ada, C doesn't even let you enable robust runtime bounds-checks for your debug builds. (To my knowledge no C compiler is able to offer this feature.)

Valgrind offers bounds checks with malloc() allocations and probably other allocations, and while I don't have extensive experience with valgrind it works surprisingly well. I imagine runtime checks could be made possible for any allocator by offering a slice(ptr, type, count) builtin call. I don't really see the language causing any problems, it's more what compiler output and optimizations we've come to expect.

> Memory-management issues of this sort are precisely the kinds of issues that affect Chromium.

They're just what a C programmer expects. I'm not saying you have to like the outcome but this is not "UB" for me - in the sense that it's been utterly obvious from day 1 that this type of issue can cause corruption (because how would it not?), long before there was any talk about UB.

> As an aside: I once spotted a competent C++ programmer (vastly more experienced than myself) writing code which applied memcpy to an array of non-POD objects. If you'll forgive a painful mix of metaphors: C++ is large enough that even experienced programmers can have blind spots to its dark corners.

I'm not defending C++ (in fact I actively avoid having to deal with it) but I think it's obvious that this sort of code is extremely likely to break.
Yes; it is stated in ESOP grant agreement contract. 1-3 months is the norm I've seen.
Time to take some coffee and configure Vim
In regards to your last line, I feel like we do need to give people some leeway and not assume bigoted intent. Most of the things we can gig people for not implementing nowadays are only recently important in our cultural consciousness. English has traditionally shied away from using accents and one can reasonably assume that if a person signs up for my English language website, they won't be using Chinese characters in their name. As for the boolean determining pronouns thing, I can easily see someone thinking that was a clever implementation before people adopted the idea that there are more than two to be cognizant of. I also think using they/them is only recently considered grammatically acceptable. Going forward, we do want to support the things you mentioned.
Praising C without acknowledging the 10 years in system programming languages and OS research done outside Bell Labs only shows an author's shallow ignorance in system programming history.

Had UNIX been sold at the same price as the competition instead of free beer tapes, and we would be probably using some BLISS, Mesa or PL/I variant instead.
The key concept is that taxation is unrelated to the government's ability to spend (with fiat currency). They can tax $1T and spend $1T. Or they can tax $0 and spend $1T. Government is not constrained from spending whatever amount it likes—except in the spending's effects on money supply, inflation, et c.

From that POV, destroying money (or, if you prefer, reducing the rate of increase in the money supply) is exactly what taxation does.

I’d take either. I thought by S2 Universe was very promising after an unfocused S1. It died before its time.
I'm an existing typescript user but I just can't see a reason to use Deno.

Depending on the NPM repository CDN is less worrisome than depending n different CDNs.

Including all my dependencies unilaterally (aka deps.ts) seems like a patch upon a bad decision.

Making the server side runtime environment pretend to be or adopt aspects of the web browser client environment seems like a misguided direction in my wisdom, because it compromises the whole runtime and you it'll always eventually fall short, as everything that copies does.

With everything going toward serverless, support there is essential and Deno just doesn't have it.

Lack of backward compatibility with other libraries means an uphill struggle, likely resulting in a lot of ported and unmaintained packages.

I sense that Deno is primarily being pushed by developers who cut their teeth in React-based code camps who are looking for (understandably) a wave to ride into "full stack" software development.

For all these reasons, I regard Deno as dubious for now. I say all of this narrowly through my own experience and perception.
The best mentors are those who make time regardless of if the world is on fire to help you out. Not many people are willing to do that.

When you see that, hold onto it as long as you can because it can go away in an instant.

If you are on the other side and now doing the mentoring, you need to make it your highest priority. Pay it forward to others.

This is a beautifully put sentiment on appreciating those who didn't have to help, but chose to anyway. It all starts with you simply asking somebody. I asked people out of my league to mentor me and they took it on because I was the first to ask them. Being open to invite others to do the same to you is equally important. There's always something to learn from each person in the world.
In addition to emojis, imagine if this had deep fake support. For the war protestor use-case imagine if everyone in the crowd having the face of Zelenskyy.

It'd be nice if this was usually built into whatever social media app people use but I wouldn't trust most social media companies to not store the original image.

Looks promising and I find the Deno project very exciting!

What is the recommended way of running Deno in production on a multi core machine? In node there is the cluster module that allows one process to run a cpu intensive task while the other processes to continue answering web requests.

This is good for stuff like excel exports as an example on larger datasets. Obviously you could run some kind of cronjob in the background but it seems like I may a bit confused about Denos architechture regarding this subject. I am afraid of switching to Deno because of this since I often want to do these kind of operations without having to do the hassle of breaking the app up for simple exporting/importing operations.

Also, will Deno really utilize other cores on the machine? It seems like if you have a machine with multiple cores Deno won't use the full potential of the hardware or am I just confused about this subject?
I think you just have to really consider what items or services people (or businesses) might always need, or would be last for them to cut. I can't think of those immediately, but food is one example, though grocery, not fast food.
