In the words of John Oliver "How is this still a thing?" (This concept and all its derivatives have been proven wrong by actual evidence for over 200 year (we also now understand that from physics point of view this is also wrong). And it is not that Malthusianism was right in some degree or on some issue, it not only has been wrong across the entire spectrum of its prediction, but the best thing is that the exact opposite to what has been predicted has occurred (unprecedented, undreamed off prosperity by and large).

If someone is interested to study this point of view further, google journal articles which concentrate on showing that carrying capacity is a concept not applicable to human societies (as long as they are not strongly correlated -- in other words -- as long as we are free to trade and make our own economic decisions. For economic planners, closed and totalitarian (those opposed to individual freedom and private property rights) might arrive at a border with a concept similar to carrying capacity.
So the guy spends 100% of his time outside of his job at Shopify in constant training to fight some war someday. That day may not arrive for years, if at all. Still, he needs to go and spend all of his free time in some imaginary war exercises every week. I am unable to fathom in what way this is a good and worthwhile use of anybody’s time. I can understand needs of many people to satisfy their caveman style hunting instincts, to fight, to feel important, to feel brotherhood, to feel adrenaline rush, to fund their education, to feel proud, to get medical insurance while rationalizing this entire enterprise beneath patriotism. To be honest, I haven’t understood the need for armies for “defense” (I understand it’s need for offense). If you want only defense, you should train every able citizen with basic and mandatory training with occasional refreshers. This makes a country with 10M+ population nearly undefeatable, even without nukes. Most countries can then get rid of 80% of the army this way and the associated costs. There is no need for human robots who act up in imaginary wars every day of their lives as their sole purpose and meaning. Human life hopeFully should mean something more than that.

I'm asking what is good about cheaper orbit. I get telecommunications, but other than that, what's the point. Any examples?

Because if all we're going to do is launch a few probes every few years, than the cost of the launches is a minor improvement.

This is the teachable moment here. Better for the poster and their child to learn it now rather than in the workplace.

It doesnt make it right, but the 90's and 00's with work browsing and email full of porn, dickpics and assorted filth were not right either.
Speaking of precursors, your own citation [17] points out the dead strikebreaker was found AFTER company guards had used the machine gun on the Death Special to kill a miner and injure two kids.

] Through various agencies the company was able to hire men to take a more aggressive stance against the striking workers, armed guards were supplied to harass strikers and union organisers. An armoured car with a mounted machine gun was even built which was appropriately named the ‘Death Special’ by the company guards. As tensions escalated between CF+I and the strikers, miners dug protective pits beneath their tents to shield themselves and their families against random sniping and machine gun fire from the company guards. On October 17th the ‘Death Special’ was used to attack the Forbes tent colony resulting in the death of one miner. A young girl was shot in the face and another boy’s legs riddled with machine gun bullets also. Confrontations between striking miners and scab workers were also resulting in additional deaths. On October 28th the Governor of Colorado, Elias M Ammons called out the National Guard to take control of the situation.

] The miners however, persevered. Union members and organisers were kidnapped and beaten, shots being fired into the camps from strike-breakers and the National Guardsmen were a constant occurrence and the harsh winter was taking its toll. Worried about the continuing cost of keeping the National Guard in the field, Governor Ammons accepted an offer from the Rockefeller family to put their men in National Guard uniforms.

] On March 10th the body of a strike-breaker was found near railroad tracks near the Forbes tents and the National Guard’s General Chase ordered the colony to be destroyed. The strike was reaching a climax, and National Guardsmen were ordered to evict the remaining tent colonies around the mines, despite them being on private property leased by the UMWA.

] Ludlow was the largest of the colonies, and on the morning of April 20th 1914, troops fired into the camp with machine guns, anyone who was seen moving in the camp was targeted. The miners fired back, and fighting raged for almost fourteen hours.

The mine owners were an even more violent force, also engaging in aggression. The Pinkerton detective agency is still prohibited by law from doing business with the government of the United States or of the District of Columbia.

> any response is a "massacre".

It's been widely called the Ludlow Massacre for over a century.

Your putting words into my mouth means you would rather use personal attacks than talk about the real issue, which is that the government laws are supposed to take the edge off both union AND corporate power.

If you take away laws that support union power without also taking away laws that prohibit otherwise legal union power, like the ability to negotiate for a closed shop, then you aren't actually in favor of contract liberty but of corporate power.

Why?
I think you're both right:

* someone reacting strongly to this slight difference is "acting like a baby", at least colloquially, but I'm not sure if it meets the author's definition of "active".

* the author using the term "acting like a baby" might get through to people who are sensitive to the difference
>I don't know what it is about game development that really brings out the yak shaving in people.

People get into game development because they want to have fun programming. Getting projects done involves a lot of things that are not fun, so it usually goes nowhere because the incentives are misaligned.

I've noticed this in many hobby professions - eg. hobby woodworkers spending more time on creating workbenches/tools/jigs/sleds than actually building some projects, hobby guitar players spending more time on gear than playing, etc. and I'm 100% guilty of it as well.
And more secure would be....what?
These structures sound like they were named by programmers fleeing from Urbit.
Had this problem. Enabling the preference so it powers off automatically instead of sleeping fixed that.
The wood part is called the 'blade' in English and there are MANY different brands and models. They come in either 5 ply or 7 ply, where it might be full (5 or 7) wood or 5 wood plies + 2 thin carbon wafers. I use a carbon blade (Viscaria) - they are more stiff with less vibration, or feedback, but generally have a higher speed ceiling and larger sweet spot at the expense of a little bit of control at lower speeds (gears).
The other component of a setup is the rubbers, you can have one black rubber and one red rubber (although new colours are soon being made an official part of the sport) - generally they're split into two categories "tensors" and "tacky" or "chinese" rubbers and recently "hybrid" rubbers. Rubbers are comprised of a sponge and a top-sheet - which manufacturers can customise to produce different playing characteristics. Long story short: tensor rubbers historically were favoured by Europeans (on both sides, whereas Chinese would use a hard tacky rubber on forehand + softer tensor backhand) and are more elastic with built in catapult effect. They require less physical effort to produce good spin and speed. Tacky Chinese rubbers are very hard with a very tacky surface, the harder sponge makes them easier to control at low gears (close to the net for short game) and have great top-end spin as well as spin on serves. They require more physical exertion and efficient use of the body to use effectively (although there are also substances called "booster" which we apply to make hard tacky rubbers come alive). Hybrids are a sort of mixture of the two that have become popular with the new 40mm plastic ball and can be used on either side. Typically you will use a harder rubber on the forehand than on the backhand, but it's up to personal preference.
There is an entire spectrum on the scale of hard lockdowns to curfews to public health orders.

The GP I was replying to made the assertion that they can't believe there would be even a single family that made the choice to keep their children isolated.

Do you agree with their assertion that no portion of the population could have "over-reacted" to the prevailing health advice? Or that no family had vulnerable persons they were looking after that resulted in a higher level of isolation?
How to Run a Digital Platform at Scale
> I’m slightly concerned about the fact that some of the products use electrolytic capacitors. Those hubs get pretty warm, even if you’re not routing your laptop’s power through the hub, and electrolytic capacitors don’t like warm environments, and that’ll significantly shorten their life. However, that’s probably negligible, since lots of resistors are also designed just barely around their load ratings, all the chips run amazingly hot, … it just feels like another product family intended to be used barely one year until it dies, just to end up in the landfill.

Drying out of electrolytic capacitors is a single largest cause of failure of electronic devices these days (apart from physical damage). My friend is in the business of restoring vintage tape recorders and audio amplifiers (from 80s and 90s) and what he does is he just replaces all electrolytes without even looking at them. This usually brings these machines back to life immediately. Resistors usually can handle the heat for extended periods of time: even if some of them bear marks of overheating, they are mostly fine.
I would add posting projects outside of developer communities. Gumroad, AppSumo Marketplace, Facebook Groups.
Interesting they are not actually doing Server Rack and Server units in U but actual good old fashion desktop.
There is actually another way: become more. Google and Amazon are companies who kept growing because the scope of what they did kept growing. And they kept getting better at what made them big in the first place at least for another decade. Go back 20 years in time, and Google was a search engine. Today they are much, much more than that. Go back 25 years in time, and Amazon was a book store.

Netflix is just a movie service. And it is a movie service that hasn't gotten any better for a very long time. The fact that I have to spend a lot of time finding content to watch and Netflix mostly showing me the surface layer of content over and over again is extremely frustrating. It just isn't a good experience. They are about as frustrating as every other service on the market because they deliver an experience that isn't anything special: it is just as bad as every other competitor.

If they have no ambition to deliver a better service than everyone else, then why would they attract more users, and more importantly, have more users pay more for their service?

Right now Netflix is an acceptable service, but nothing more. They still have some way to go on quality. And if they started becoming the company that dares to do things a bit differently, and to do things better, this could be a platform to launch into other areas.
The issue is its possible, but if you dont someone else will, then will buy you and make you do the thing you were avoiding.

Relative growth is the ultimate leverage of power.

And while you think that might be some line or something it isn't. In the early 2000s banks basically did that, if you played it easy one that geared up more simply bought you up and they all went big into MBSs
> Since it's deleted we won't know, will we?

Good point, but calling for "help" just because your content is deleted doesn't seem a good ground either.

> P.S. I see in the comments that you're russia appologist and denying Bucha massacre so no wonder to see you here again

I will skip the BS about "russia appologist" but will demand proof about "denying Bucha massacre". Since I never considered or stated that, will go ahead and call you a liar.

P.S. just checked - your account was created 35 days ago and does comment only on the single matter. Had I checked that before, wouldn't dignify that comment with an answer. Dixi
If people are willing to completely pointless busy work in mobile and MMO games and paying through the nose to be zombified and gain virtual stars, I don't see why they shouldn't be able to do that in a virtual job (when they are being actually paid this)
Those transactions that appear to go through "immediately", are not settled for many days or weeks. That third parties are willing to take on the settlement risk is beside the point as the same could be offered by third parties working on top of the Bitcoin blockchain.
It's strictly more complex without much additional benefit. To have zero-trust random blob tracking you'd still need public key infrastructure, and you'd have a system which is overall more complex and has more ways to break (running out of data storage, network partitions to the database, etc.).

A revocation list would be a smaller, easier-to-distribute dataset if you were going to keep data related to specific tokens around.

Pretty sad story about human nature: shows how much some people are selfish enough to sell with a 10000%+ markup something they never needed and that anyway would have stayed in the dust, rather than give it to someone who needs it.

Same with shoes, salt, sugar, PS5, etc.

> Unless we are talking about Assembly, all languages have runtimes.

My point was that some languages have heavier runtimes than others (out of the box, at least).

And yes, C# is very popular for gameplay code, but I'm talking about the parts of an engine that typically use systems programming languages. Even then, you can shoehorn C# into that role with some tweaking and AoT compilation (which is a testament to the C# ecosystem's versatility). But I was just explaining why I think the word "slow" was used regarding the C# language in general, even though it's not perfectly technically correct.
Is there a difference between that token and a password? Yes, the token is bigger and created by somebody else, yet for all practical means it walks like a password and quacks like a password...
It should do what language does...

Language is a phenomenon in, at least, one type of animal. It allows animals to coordinate with each other in a shared environment; it describes their internal and external states; etc. etc.

Language is a real phenomenon in the world that, like gravity, can be studied. It isnt abstract.

NLP models of language arent models of language. Theyre cheap imitations which succeed only to fool language users in local highly specific situations.

For others reading and thinking of trying something similar:

You could offer to lease the domain instead. Rent-to-buy. And/or a mix of cash and options/rev-share.

Talk to your accountant (get an accountant you doofus) about writing it off, there may be tax benefits. Jerry, all these big companies, they write off everything. They just write it off.

Best to come up with a proper name to begin with and avoid all of this hassle.

The one example I know personally where this actually mattered is a company called face.com (facial recognition) sold to Facebook. To be sold to a big company got to get on their radar first. And all things being equal, out of several face recognition startups, the one with the face.com domain is the more obvious choice :P
The rubber sheet runs into problems when you try to introduce high inclination orbits, or non-inspiralling (or at least very very slowly inspiralling) nearly circular orbits. It also doesn't do well when the mass-to-mass ratios of the objects on the sheet are small. It also doesn't do well when you want the masses to spin. (How many of the large bodies in our solar system have nearly zero spin angular momentum? And the difference between perihelion and aphelion for Venus and Neptune are small, and there doesn't seem to be any danger of them inspiralling sunwards in the next several thousand of their respective solar orbits.)
Right but I already bring my laptop to a desk with a keyboard, mouse, monitor and dock. So the practical difference is nothing. In fact the Mac Mini is actually less duplication of capability.

My MacBook Pro has been out of clamshell mode less than 25 times in a year. Almost all of them to wake up after an OS update.

> And just saying "we'll hire for a probationary period and then fire them if they can't code" isn't a very good idea, for anyone involved.

And how exactly do puzzle style interviews prevent that, when it's simply possible to learn for the test, instead of learning what the test tries to evaluate?

> the alternative, which is to not ask people to actually program during interviews

The alternative to "puzzle interview" is not "no programming questions". Interviews should always give examples, including architecture questions, questions that test the general understanding of the candidate and at least ine small example problem that has to do with the real codebase.

That's an adequate test to filter out people who can't code, and a far cry from completely arbitrary and unrelated puzzles that can be memorized in advance.
FormData is hilarious.

Uhh, JSON would have been nice I guess?

When I got frustrated with the user needing to be able to re-edit a form with waaay to many fields and the option to add more fields of various exotic types. I wrote a hilarious hack where I just went over the input elements and elm.setAttribute("value", elm.value). Then I rip out the entire form innerHTML, POST it and store it in the database. Want to edit it again? Here you go! When displaying the content wrap the form in: <fieldset disabled="disabled"> and add some border:0;color:black

For such a terrible idea it looked remarkably clean.

Bring this concern to the school board: Say your child is making homework all alone, in their room, total privacy. Is it true that the monitoring software can at that moment look at the webcam and listen in to the microphone's audio? If no consent was given, that should be pretty bad for the school board.
Facebook lost half it's value (maybe literally by now) because they stopped growing on just their flagship product (the MAU went down by a rounding error).

So why not provide a sustainable service? Because it's not valued in the market.
Send them a copy of "1984" or, i am not familiar with chromebooks, set a bios/boot-password or something so if they want install anything, they have to ask for permission.

I've been using React full time almost since its first release and I somewhat agree with the previous comment. While the choice of framework usually doesn't really restrict what can be done; it's often easier/harder to do specific things with a given framework.

For example; animations responding to user interactions are easier to do in frameworks with an OOP approach. It is generally more "different" in a declarative way. So most React apps simply don't have those. There are lots of small things like this that over time make React apps feel Reacty.
The comparison between a long ad break and a single minor product placement isn't a fair, I've never seen a single 5 minute ad for a car on TV. But I guess it does answer the question of how some people think.
