One is done more often than the other.

Of course there is no way to perfectly, reliably capture 100% of the events. Even if browsers had a dedicated API for that, a user could simply kill the process or pull the plug.

However, you can make sure you capture the vast majority of events. Clicking on a link or closing a tab are much more likely events than killing the browser or leaving a tab open for weeks.

(On desktop at least, might be different for mobile. But even there, you might want to track how many pages just stay open forever - which would also require you to track close events.)
Homosexuality and heterosexuality are cultural constructs, but sexual attraction isn't (although its expression can be culturally influenced and mediated.) I think what's being presented here is a false dichotomy - after all, closeted gay people don't become straight because they choose to act straight.

To me, you can choose to act "gay" (whatever that entails) but but to be gay or straight isn't a choice. However, sexuality may be more fluid than many people realize, and this realization and the process of sexual self discovery, may appear to be choosing one or the other, because our society requires that it be one or the other.
At some point for professionals the cost of continual recording is relatively low.

Lead Time Is Critical in a Hardware Business
Because the primary purpose of managers walking of the floor isn’t observation and control, but rather understanding, communication, and very rarely changing something.

There’s nothing wrong with automated QC activities, but it’s not going to replacing walking the floor (assuming the floor isn’t a lights-out facility.)
In my personal experience, expat is a term that's most frequently used to describe someone who is sent abroad by their firm, either on a temporary secondment or perhaps on an indefinite basis (c.f. "expat package" to describe a cost-of-living adjustment or other inducement).

That then shades into other meaning, which is one of someone living abroad that doesn't expect to stay, or retains a strong cultural connection with their home country, or doesn't mix with the local population (c.f. "expat ghetto" to describe a locale primarily inhabited or frequented by such people).

I don't know what the dictionary definition says, but I wouldn't say "immigrant" and "expat" mean the same thing to me.
The reason this matters is that they make more cars in less time so they make more money. The build quality hype is pretty overrated IMO. Tesla build quality is actually pretty good now.
Let's go one step further. Why send me a resume in English? Just be creative and use an elvish language. Or invent your own language. Don't just take a standard and try to use it to convey information.

Unless the role has a strong design component just use something simple and plain to present your skills and experience. Make it easy to understand what you can do for us. Thats the important part of the resume.

>Even from the point of view of job satisfaction. The more $ you are paid, the more expensive it is for the company to waste your time.

Having the company not waste your time is not in the top 10 most important factors for job satisfaction. And anyway, that just means you have less down time and less personal time. It's not a good thing.

Cool story.

Anyway, the list that they're discussing has actually existed for 30 years, and your hair pulling about what might happen hasn't.

"Where is the line?"

Relatively easy for the rest of us to see.

.

"If I commit a political dissertation in the comments or README? If I change all my unit tests to use political phrases?"

Nobody suggested this should be penalized. This is common.

.

"And how long does your name stay on the list?"

Forever.

When you commit a crime, that knowledge never disappears in any country.

.

"Any way to get it removed faster?"

No.

.

"And this is in response to using free software?"

No.

.

"We already have mechanisms for dealing with poor OSS decisions: raise an issue, fork it, unstar it."

None of these address what happened in any way.

.

"Maybe we should focus on building up the better OSS projects"

You go ahead.

The rest of us will act without you. Your agreement is not required.
The issue is that Wayland isn't a replacement for X. It's become it's own thing entirely, with it's own goals and conflicts with the xorg ideology. On top of that, it doesn't have feature parity with the window server on Windows and certainly doesn't approach the capability of Quartz (and likely never will, judging by it's core values). This puts it in an awkward spot: certain developers are begging users to switch to Wayland despite the fact that it only works with two and a half DEs, while other developers are pledging to never transition their software in the first place. Wayland's own development is constantly taking forwards and backwards steps in ways that are scaring users (like myself) away from using it. This is the part where I'd usually give credit to the developers for not turning it into a GNOME-first utility, but even that's untrue as the only "complete" implementation is Mutter.

At this point I've conceded that I will use x11 until I die. I will write software for x11 until I stop writing software. Yes, it is miserable, but it's never failed me and there has never been any "politics" ruining it. There's no wlroots to fuck around with to get certain basic features working. There's no xWayland to scream at when my software doesn't "just work". The whole thing is so disappointingly ironic that I can't help but ignore it's development.

And recent changes by the government have actually made it worse. The irony is that the unions have been campaigning for these changes. It's really weird how unions think that requiring that postdocs must get a permanent position after 4 years would somehow lead to them getting those positions, while there is no more funding from the government, so no permanent positions are being created. I mean in our department academic faculty have to find 50% of their salary plus ~80% overhead from external funding. Really universities in Sweden tend to be more like research hotels, with lots of regulations that you have to follow.

Again, being proficient in English or in the radiotelephony language used in the country of flight, as per FCL.055, does not equate to "[English being] mandatory for all pilots at least in EASA and FAA", as you said.

Jimmy Carter is an interesting US president that I like and yet don't understand.

Correct but they can advocate for other types of positions and intervene when a university fails to educate students about non academic jobs.
Isn't structured conc. about using scopes (, syntax) to provide concurrency "control flow"?

If so, then it does solve the color problem. The alternative to structural (ie., scopy-syntaxy) flow primatives, is to reuse existing control flow primtives (ie., function calls) and just layer on coloring.

By declining to reuse functions this way, you are dropping the need for color.
I think it's not so much the lack of good research being done, but the lack of real world application of that research. And furthermore the real applicable research wasn't really theoretical research but more lessons learned by engineers in the industry.

It's crazy to me that researchers prefer to be published over having world renowned software to their name. You could figure out the fanciest database research, but there was a period where every fancy new NoSQL database was based on BerkeleyDB despite all that, bolstering the reputation of the University of Berkeley.

Despite all the research into garbage collectors nearly every new programming language I've seen uses either BoehmGC (from 1994) or simply gives up on the idea and uses reference counting.

Imagine if university groups would band together to produce really state of the art production quality reference software. They could use them as base for their research, bolster their reputation by having them be great, and even draw funding from big companies looking to hire the PhD's produced by the efforts.

Instead we have got all these half finished demonstration software that no one industry would touch with a ten foot pole.

It took just a few people to develop the first versions of rust, a research based programming language that in my opinion has been the biggest shock to the industry in decades (if you disregard machine learning).
15 or 20 years ago I was really excited about the idea of inventing something new, or contributing something to the community and being “that guy”. Over time I learned to let go of that and just do stuff I wanted to do.

Part of doing my projects is sharing what I’ve done helping people learn from my efforts. I find it very fulfilling to share a project. And it’s really exciting when someone else finds value in that.

I think the difference is whether or not you’re trying to be an influencer (focused on yourself) or trying to share what you do (focused on what you create). At least it is for me.

Alum tends to result in Th2 response, which is not very useful against viral infection as the T cells required to clear infected cells are not sufficiently activated. A lot of antibodies will be made but an RNA virus could mutate very rapidly in response, eventually leading to a new serotype that would require a different vaccine altogether. Or worse, result in antibody enhanced disease.

Most modern vaccines made against viral diseases use specialised adjuvants to avoid this known problem.
Jimmy Carter. A great president treated like an outcast. If you fight for things like fair elections or against things like apartheid you will be demoted despite your credentials.
Persepolis wasn’t in great condition when I went but it also wasn’t a shambles. There’s a gift shop, guards, and a reconstruction of part of the palace, and a lot of tourists. Also a small set of offices for archaeologists. I’m a professional historian so I was a little bummed by the lack of adequate public-facing educational markers and texts, but it certainly can’t be compared to something like the Buddhas of Bamiyan as an excuse for removing items to European museums.

But why? It's a supply and demand issue. When demand is high and supply is low, the hiring committees will definitely look over one or more bad letters. But when supply is high (as it is most of the time thanks to overproduction), well the hiring committee will choose the best package deal.

I'm sure the university will be happy to claim that they'll discount bad letters just because it will be politically helpful, but as long as the hiring committee sees them all, it won't matter. They'll choose the best package.

Not that it matters, because most of this happens by word of mouth. I've seen professors write glowing letters of recommendation to cover their butt. Then they privately bad mouth the person.
Students voted for this union because of major issues with the entire academic training process, not to get a small salary bump. The presence of the union at other schools has not led to any real attempts to fix the systemic issues, yet it adds another layer of bureaucracy to deal with for any students that want to face these issues.

And while the headline features of Rust are memory safety and fearless concurrency, the whole language and ecosystem is designed around making it hard to do the wrong thing on accident.

Which in this instance also means that floats stay floats, doubles stay doubles and u8 stays u8 unless you explicitly convert. If you're now asking what happens when you add a float to a double: that's a compiler error, you have to explicitly cast.

Yeah. And solar out-kills nuclear by a factor of nearly 20.

Your problem is that you're trying to consider nuclear in isolation, with no null hypothesis.

This is an absurd and incorrect viewpoint. Please do not hold yourself forwards as knowledgeable in these matters.

The seawall did not meet Japan's national standards.

A few jobs like football player or chess GM should be inherently immune to automation; they exist because we're interested in seeing what humans can do, even if machines can outperform them.

For some artistic/creative jobs we might also value it coming from a human, but I'd be cautious of overstating the effect here. Art in a gallery may be safe for now, but more "functional" art like character portraits for a videogame or clip art for a company website seems in imminent danger.

Plumbers, electricians, mechanics, etc. can be replaced for repetitive known work, like mass-production of vehicles or household appliances, but I don't think robotics is advanced/cheap enough yet to be approaching the point where a robot would turn up to your home, navigate around, access the right areas, and fix some variable maintenance issue.
It's beyond me why would anyone move to Shanghai in 2017, that's already after T left China after spending there better half of decade because of how unbeareable it became with Xi coming to power and that was many years before 2017 with tightening screws in every aspect of (foreigner's) life. China peaked some time between 2008 and Xi being elected, since his election it's all going downhill very quickly.

Btw. as Beijinger who spent few weeks in Shanghai on business trips I've never understood appeal of Shanghai, I'd much rather go for Shenzhen or Chengdu as alternatives to Beijing.
What do you mean nothing topic related to see? It's literal first hand videos from Shanghai, and the topic of this post is "An Account of the Shanghai Lockdown". What would make it more on topic?

>Death from starvation generally requires 30 - 70 days without food
(Snip)

Whoa there - how’d you manage to move those goalposts so quickly? Starvation is a condition - death is not a required aspect of that condition.

Starvation has long been considered inhumane, and a form of torture - it’s not OK all of a sudden just because you don’t have proof someone died.
This was a lovely piece of observational writing.

I think that the "easy to clean" part of the list of descriptors here is among the most important. Among many other things, two of the things that have changed in the last couple of hundred years are:

1. The emergence of a cultural consensus that a full life is about having time to do things other than those necessary to keep living, and to maintain the required tools. Cleaning the kitchen is in the latter category, and so there's a cultural imperative now to reduce the time spent on this task (theoretically to open up time for other things).

2. The move away from a concept of home and family (and the associated economy) that assigns some subset of a household (historically, the non-childhood females) a primary role in cleaning and maintainence, and towards an economy that demands that most adults work outside the home. This also places a premium on kitchen environments that are easier to clean.

A kitchen is somewhere you live as well as work. Cement slab flooring is pretty uncomfortable to spend two hours working barefoot, especially in winter.

The fact that shipping time is often a big contributor to lead time means that sourcing components locally can be a significant business advantage.
Lockdowns were extremely effective in preventing healthcare collapse in nearly all countries it was implemented. Countries that did not go into lockdown early on such as Sweden were seeing up to 15% death rated. Lockdowns allowed sufficient time for the development and distribution of effective vaccines. China unfortunately has not completed the latter step of wide distribution of an effective vaccine. Their healthcare system will collapse without lockdowns.
