School relocation can go in either direction. One of the worst things my parents (unknowingly at the time) did was move our family when I was turning 12. We had just left a parochial school where I was doing fine both academically and socially, and then... a (good) public school with people I never met. All the other dudes had already established "tacit dominance hierarchies" or whatever, and here I come in and mess the whole thing up (another thing that didn't help was the merging of 2 schools into 1 in 7th grade, apparently causing EVERY guy (ok many guys, but not me) to enter "test the other person's mettle mode"). Junior high was HELL as a result. I was a super-late bloomer (or that is what they used to call it; what actually happened in reality is that I had testosterone secretion timing issues and my parents were too frugal to take me to a doctor) and that didn't help either.

I remember 1 fight in grade school, a guy shorter than me picked a fight with me, next thing I know there's a circle of people around us jeering, and me being the nonviolent type managed to snatch him into a headlock and give him a "noogie" (rubbing knuckles on the person's scalp which hurts like a bitch but does no harm) and he said "mercy" pretty quick and I helped him off the floor- I was pretty proud of that resolution... but it WAS ultimately the application of a form of (counter)force.
I did only because of their domain name but I should have written it out in its entirety.
Right. Hence why I said:

> That is honestly near impossible.

Point is, staging environment is there to increase the confidence that what you are deploying won't fail. Removing that is doable, but I wouldn't recommend it.
They remixed the singles, really making them more “radio friendly”. Compressed, polished, and out of whack with the un-remixed “lesser” tracks.

The punk folks around Nirvana were surprised with how pliable they were with Geffen. Albini was pissed and wanted his name off of it.

He wasn’t easy to work with. Abrasive, rude, rigidly principled. He’s mellowed out with age, but really hasn’t touched much major label stuff since the 90s, if any.

If you listen to the original mixes on the reissue you hear how much more consistent it feels as an album. And I won’t lie. I have a bias. I love the quality of Albini’s work. Crisp and raw and uses the whole spectrum. And those drums…

Jesus Lizard, early Pixies, this album, PJ Harvey’s Rid of Me are more well known work he’s done that is great. Bush was awful. His band Shellac w/ the mentioned Bob Weston is f’n incredible.

These days, he works a super reasonable flat rate and will record anyone. Had friends who recorded at his Chicago studio. Brilliant guy.

> From a starting position the main difference between the teenager and Goldman Sachs is the teenager doesn't have billions of dollars in capital.

We are not talking about capital; we are talking about access. It is undeniably true that access to the legacy financial network is permissioned. But your Ethereum transactions and your smart contracts are no less privileged than those of Goldman Sachs. And if you can create a protocol that generates interest on your users capital, they just might entrust your smart contracts with a billion dollars worth of assets.

This is not speculative; it's the reality today. The reason why you keep hearing about all those DeFi hacks is because random people are building financial infrastructure (interacting with financial protocols built by other random people) without having to ask for anyone's consent or approval, and anyone in the world can use these products.

You can say that this is a terrible idea, but to say that it isn't something new that blockchain has enabled is simply denial.

(Crazy but true: under the EU's "Open Banking" API initiative, you are not even able to access your own account data in read-only mode, without going through a third party provider; it's only "open" to regulated entities.)

> No it does not and no it is not, this is more terribly wrong mythical thinking that I hear people repeating. The design is not set in stone and there is no
"nature" to it.

The claim is not that there is no design space; the claim is that you are bounded by what we simply might call physical reality. You can design your messenger with end to end encryption, or without it, and that decision may be influenced by your value system. However, the decision might impose restrictions on how you can approach the problem of making multiple devices work, or a chat history, or interoperability.

If you want to make it impossible for regulators to censors the financial protocols written by random teenagers (the design requirement), but you also want certain actors to be able to revert transactions, then you may find that those two goals are in tension with each other.

I really enjoyed using blitz for a project.

But I'm tired of the react ecosystem, and I was disappointed I had to give up Blitz's features.

But thanks to the pivot, I'm excited to use blitz-auth and their Prisma codegen with other projects.
Do left-handed people attend university at a rate a third less than right-handed people do?

And, yes, if a school system required all students to write right-handed and that resulted in lower grades and worse outcomes among left-handed students, that would absolutely make you a victim of systemic discrimination.

My sister didn't speak to me for days after, having folded to a bluff in poker, she flipped over my hand and called me a cheater.

To any poker player, my behavior was fine and she would be way out of line for revealing my cards.

On the other hand, I was intentionally misleading a family member for personal gain at their expense, which away from the poker table would be a huge breach of trust
This would horrify some friends. But mass market beer is a very predictable and relatively inexpensive product that 95% or whatever of the market likes. I do not and am grateful there are so many alternatives that didn’t exist a few decades ago. But it’s not a low quality just because us beer at least somewhat snobs prefer something different.
It's 7 years old by now, but there's some literature:

https://research.facebook.com/publications/holistic-configur...

You can see that there's a common backend ("configerator") that a lot of other systems ("sitevars", "gatekeeper", ...) build on top of.

Just imagine that these systems have been further developed over the last decade :)

In general, there's 'configuration change at runtime' systems that the deployed code usually has access to and that can switch things on and off in very short time (or slowly roll it out). Most of these are coupled with a variety of health checks.
that's not your bad habit, that's just how language evolves naturally. like I said, a pet peeve. the part that makes me twitch is that the evolution of the term is happening in a hobbyist community, where I've never heard a professional use the term. when I read it it doesn't make linguistic since to me -- a "Docker" is not a thing, what is its plural?

anyway, you do you.

What Orbán Knows and His Enemies Don’t (2018)
No. Detroit is the case of overestimate their success, and they just got too much debts.

Usually investors are much more cautious, but in Detroit, used standard scheme of distributed responsibility, where not exists one person, who responsible for bad decision, but these decisions made by committee or by some collegial scheme.

This is also known as one of the biggest problem of democracy - some subject could manipulate others.

In craziest form, one subject could ask other parties with vote power, to jail any other party, and than divide its property between others (who stay free), and repeat this until all others will be in jail, and all property will belong to this creative subject.

In real life, very typical thing, to make mega-projects (which where really created in Detroit), to plunder taxes.
BTW this is easy to see, by looking on projects distribution. For example, normal community build lot of cheap projects, but little number of mega projects, and community which is not well enough mature, will attract to mega projects, because they fear to got response of making little things.
I'm happy to use Edge on my Windows machine, because the browser works really well.

But... if I ever notice that Microsoft changes my Edge privacy settings behind my back then I will ditch it in a second for Firefox, and never go back.

And I'm genuinely curious if just me deciding to use Edge is enough to make Microsoft happy.

Also, what happens if you try to install Chrome, or Vivaldi, or some other browser?
It's really just like you Europeans to constantly project attributes of your perceived enemy unto others. Anti-Pelosi, straight-laced anti-hippy conservative types, people defying mask mandates.

A small tool I created for TypeScript files to visualize the call graph: TypeScript-Call-Graph

I thought it would be useful for me, especially while working using the functional programming paradigm.

"Several" is doing some very heavy lifting here. According to the paper cited, it's 22 out of 250 metro areas (or 9%).

Another way to put this is that in the vast majority of metro areas, young women DO NOT earn more than young men. Even when you look at the areas where young women do outearn young men, it is not by a lot. For example, in the NYC area, young women earn 102% of what young men do. To my ear, that's parity.
A flawed definition is superior to the absence of one.

You don't think the CEO of Mozilla is providing value?

I realize I'm sitting in idealistic terms, and it's to describe a point of view I'm not sure you fully understand. But at this point, I don't think it's that you don't understand it, you just don't care for the framework I'm describing. Perhaps you feel it's not important or useful to your life. I have found it to be a helpful lens, while certainly not all encompassing of the truth.

I had a more nuanced point I was going to make about slavery, hence the preface, but I realized it was probably not the right time or place.

I think it is a bit more complicated than just a stereotype. "Women bringing a different, less adversarial, work culture" is a trope present in the works of some feminist activist, DEI workshop facilitators, and sociological researchers. Usually it is phrased more as "we should be more accepting of workstyles that differ from the dominant workstyle", where the dominant workstyle happens to be associated with our current stereotypes about masculinity. This is definitely a difficult to discuss topic where you really need to steelman what you hear, otherwise the conversation quickly devolves.
You and I must have different thoughts about how well Boeing is doing in that space vs let’s say, airbus.
> Apparently "finish setting up" means "we don't like that you are using Firefox".

I've noticed the same thing on an Android tablet recently, just with Google Play in place of Edge (and F-Droid in place of Firefox). That's unpleasant, but unfortunately not that surprising: dark patterns and other annoyances are quite common, particularly with commercial products.

I have to say, it took me a very long time as a self-identified "night owl" but I finally came around to this. I schedule an Orangetheory class at 8:15 M-W-F (I could go earlier, and have, but I have a 9 month old now and the nanny comes @ 8) and I certainly feel like I get a lot more done (also my energy starts off high).
I’ve had my chess learning period followed by obsessive play up to a point that after playing a few hours daily I’d see those patterns in my mind’s eye for a while afterwards. I realized it ‘s not something healthy and I stopped playing altogether.

Recently I started playing online from time to time and want to make sure it never becomes an obsession again. Learning how to lose gracefully is an important milestone in one’s quest for maturity.

Generally chess has some wisdom that can be carried out in other areas of life. One point worth mentioning is that no matter how complicated a situation has become there’s quite often a good way out of it if one keeps calm and looks out for solutions.
You know, opinions are valuable here for hypothesis generation.

No one knows and there is no consensus why this is happening. I have a few opinions as a middle-and-high school teacher. But talking about this is important to help wrap our heads around it.

If a definitive understanding or reason were easy to acquire, we'd have done it already. So, the toil continues: for researchers, policymakers, laymen... and those of us in the trenches trying to do something about it with not enough information.
That just seems like a crazy amount of pieces and complexity. It looks cool but god strategy must be so hard. If you have played people who start taking long times to think through moves, I feel like this would basically lock people up for hours.
Meh. Really depends on the language. You'd be like a fish out of water if you stuck to that convention in Javascript or Go, whereas you'd be perfectly conventional in Python and C.
That's great, but unfortunately the HTML view only shows the TITLE, ala HackerNews, and not even a single summary sentence or paragraph there. So we've got a good RSS feed, but a bad HTML view.

Median income of somebody with a bachelor's degree is $60,585 [1].

Median income of a plumber is $59,880 [2].

The big gaps you'll find rely on either average income (where an uncapped high + hard capped low = inflated numbers) or household income. There are numerous biases that deserve mentioning, but the simple component of college debt vs earn while you lean means plumbers are probably already better off on "average".

I think the biggest problem with these things is not that they are actually shit, but some section of adults have convinced kids that these problems will be the death of everyone. I'm thinking of Greta Thunberg crying about not being able to have a family or kids of her own because of global warming. That's a bit melodramatic, especially for someone coming from Europe.

Aaron Swartz's legacy: His life and tragic death on the hacker community [audio]
It really speaks to the state of software engineering when there are ample comments here defending this practice. This is virtually indefensible in my book, as it screams technical debt and strongly suggests that there are much deeper issues hiding in that codebase. Personally I would not be willing to work on it without first addressing those issues.

This happens with the HTML contents just as easily. Perhaps just include a unique identifier in the text per client, and a link back to the source.
Fast hack: use a compiler for a nice language that targets the language in question.

Failing that, design your software with nice abstractions, then do the compiler's job and strip them all out and turn it into a bunch of if/gotos. Preferably with vague (ideally numeric!) label statements.

Otherwise I'm not sure it's actually possible to write anything larger than a couple hundred lines without paying homage to design patterns and consistency, if only in your head. It took me a long time to learn that code's greatest enemy is the task of holding up its own weight.
All software projects should be a single, self-contained file.
In NYC, young women earn 102% of what young men do. While that is technically more, I would count it as equal.

Even, you would need to define a specific problem.

If you are talking about overall career impact post birth, you would only expect equal outcomes if men and women are making the same choices and have the same preferences.

If the "problem" is simply different numeric outcomes between men and women, it ignores any differences between the wants of men and women.
