Man I think I subscribe to different twitter channels than you. But what you ended your post with has been proved out time and again. Maybe it is a reason to despair.
With all those agile ceremonies, this cafe will become the hotel California.. you will never check out... Or rather to use a github term: you will checkout but never checkin.
While XMLHttpRequest dates to approximately the same time period, it really didn't get a lot of mindshare until Google used it to implement Gmail's and Google Maps' front ends (2004-2005), which is also when the term AJAX was coined by Jesse James Garrett:

I complained to jeff@ about the spam from recruiters, after emailing them several times to stop contacting me - and even calling the recruiters on the phone once asking them to stop.

The final reply in my email thread with them: "I will take a look at these messages and will inform our recruiting team of your concern if these messages are found to be legitimate. Thank you again for sharing your concerns. I wish you well in your future endeavors!"
Couple of quick points, never in anyway compared the rate of law breaking in my post. Pretty sure I specified my post was anecdotal. I really don't care what stats say, I care that around me large groups of bicyclists blow through stop signs while I am taking my kids to school in the morning. I understand you have a cause to push but I'm not the guy you should be pushing it at. I'm just some middle aged dude trying to get his kids to school safely without running anyone over.
So what rights to Twitter should the people have and what mechanism would be used to enforce those rights? Or has Twitter not reached the scale where you consider it the public square?
Are you suggesting it would play out just like it is now by the US government, with indiscriminate bombings of Mexican cities and targeting of civilians? I guess anything is possible in geopolitics. And if the USA started invading Mexico and indiscriminately bombing civilian targets, the government could successfully sell it to some portion of its population.

Certainly it would be a horrific act regardless of the invading country- autocratic, democratic, socialist, capitalist, communist, western, eastern, whatever. And yes, the US government has done some horrific things in the past.

None of that makes the current bloodshed by Russia any less terrible, or excuses it in any way, right? I just ask that we don't kiss ourselves on that either.
Yes type punning is still possiblem, but doesnt this violate the 'spirit' of the original idea (to get rid of conversions between int and *)
Tell them this is significant to you and ask for, say, +30% of total comp to sign the contract in the current wording. This they will understand. If you say no or if you give reasons they will just try to make you change your mind and give you excuses. Don't waste your time.
I'm not defending Facebook or Twitter, but they largely follow laws serving the public. The laws are not perfect, but the goal should be improving them, not free speech absolutism. Social media should be regulated, not given absolute power. Giving a billionaire like Musk absolute power is a bad idea. There ought to be counterweights.

Every time there is an anti-regulation push it's always shady people trying to get away with something bad. Musk himself is keen on market manipulation. These people always portray the government as inefficient and evil, and say that we should get rid of it instead of improving it. The government is however what stops people like Musk creating the kind of dystopias only sociopaths can. They still manage, but there should be a limit how much power one man can have, because no one is infallible.
There is no internal conflict. This is Oracle you're talking about.
The reason that most taxes can be passed on is because as price is raised, the supply and demand curve is pushed and less is made. With land, there is a finite supply, none can be created, none can be destroyed, so land value taxes can not be passed on.

As the land value will always be zero, there is little value in holding land that you are not using productively, so speculation will drop heavily.
The GDPR also protects your name that way too, despite the fact that it might actually identify a multitude of different people (like if you're called John Smith). It does so on the basis that it may under some circumstances be sufficient to identify you personally; same for IP address.

It is very seldom in my experience the case that legislation tells us anything at all about what is true about technology.
Office Is Open and the Liquor Is Flowing
Hence my bit about underdogs. The ACLU seemed to fight for a lot more for free speech back when they and their side were not ascendant.
Genocide: Noun. The deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group
"a campaign of genocide"

By that definition I would say quite a few more mass graves, along with a coordinated effort to stamp out Ukrainian language, customs, intelligentsia,
and identity. I understand that Russian state media calls Ukraine "one people" with Russians, but it's a far way to go between a talking point and indiscriminately killing civilians as part of a brutal war and genocide. It's pretty obvious that word is being said for political reasons, not because the current situation obviously meets the definition.

I am absolutely horrified by Russia's war, but I reserve the right to be vastly more horrified if they begin an organized campaign to exterminate the Ukrainian people.
The symptoms of a mental illness can overlap with normal variations of personality. It is very important to note this is overlap, *not* a spectrum!

A person’s baseline can be altered by mental illness but not severely enough to be indistinguishable from a personality difference. Telling the two apart is damn near impossible.

Since we don’t have blood tests, we cannot tell the difference. So we need to fall back on want little objective criteria can be found.

Behavioral criteria can be skewed due to environment. An active kid who wants to run around isn’t going to do well being stuck in a classroom for six hours. A curious kid with ADHD, who would otherwise be a good student also won’t do well because they can’t stay on task. These look identical. (This is why ADHD is both over and under diagnosed.)

This results in family history and quality of life being more objective than self-reported feelings.
They just ignore it, probably. It’s like those agreements that prohibit you from having other jobs. Forget about it.
IMO, this is the most dangerous mindset of the 21st century, so far.
They demolished the crossing of I90 just south of the trestle in Bellevue. And now it looks like they're putting in a pedestrian bridge to replace it. I'm not sure why they had to remove the tunnel in the first place. I used to cross it and hang out over the southbound lanes with friends.

The Kirkland section of the trail actually gets a fair amount of use as a bike and walking route and connects sections of Kirkland that weren't easy to connect before. With the South Kirkland park and ride to at the south border I know a few people who used it to bike to the bus system.

Kemper Freeman I think has a lot to do with why the train line wasn't used for light rail.
It's telling when their concern is that he is going to decrease censorship and increase transparency.
There's a very pragmatic aspect to this that isn't being covered, but for me is the big one: lots of lights don't change until a large metalic object goes over the in-road sensor. Bikes don't really trigger them. So you have to run the red either way, now at least it's not ticketable if a cop on a bad day sees you do it (safely of course).
Cali bill – revoke license of physicians who promote Covid-19 disinformation
Yes, it contradicted and voided certain ridiculous language in the first agreement.

I didn’t ask for much but I limited my liability back to common sense.
No - there is something called inertia
Main thing I am missing in SQLite is array or Json support.

Atlanta is little? (Not aware of whether or not Mellow mushroom is in other states or not)
He was never on the good side of the state anyways. They buy his services because they're the best and vastly cheaper than anything else, not because they like Musk or want to give him a chance or something. Musk got his chance by himself.
Thirded, though DuckDB is compelling for scenarios when you'd traditionally be able to use SQLite, if analytics/OLAP is your thing.

It's exciting and brilliant technology. I believe the authors are the same ones behind MonetDB.
I think it should be federal law that any non-compete pays the employee salary and full benefits for time spent under the enforceable period of the non-compete if the employer tries to enforce it in court. If it's SO important that an employee not divulge any information that you need a contract for it, companies should have to pay for it.
I have a couple Boox devices right now and have had Kobo and Kindle devices in the past as well as iPads but I kinda feel those go in their own category.

The Boox devices are fast, easily the fastest eInk devices I've used and are extremely flexible thanks to the fact that they just run Android. You do have to fiddle a bit with the app optimization settings because apps aren't typically designed with eInk in mind so you need to filter out animations and set refresh modes. But it is super nice to just have whatever available. The Kindle app, Libby, Google Play books, Pressreader, etc. The built in software is very good for PDFs especially in comparison to the junk Amazon and Kobo put on theirs. It's OKAY for ePubs/AZW3 but it has some rough edges and bugs but you can just use another 3rd party app so it's not a huge deal. Note taking software works well IMO too.

Kobo still has a better built in ePub reader in terms of rendering but devices are slower and it's more annoying to get books on and off. As for Kindle there's very little reason to buy one unless you're certain you're going to play in their store and are happy with their limited font and formatting options. Send to Kindle is probably the best feature but you can only send ancient KF7 mobis or like txt files. You can put PDFs on a Kindle but it's a horrid experience, Kobo is slightly better especially on the new models.

I've heard Remarkable's suck at ePubs and it seems like it from videos and I wouldn't use an iPad for reading books as it's just too distracting IMO.

If you mainly want PDF support or want flexibility with regards to what you can do and are okay with some rough edges get a Boox, if you want good ePub support and it to "just work" get a Kobo.
There are some issues with this article. First, the account of the ukranian revolution is neither very accurate nor balanced: generally speaking, shadowy US interference in far-away states ('color revolutions', etc) is more complicated, and a far more marginal factor than people like Putin would have you believe.

It also continues to follow the Russian line in the section where it discusses the build-up to the conflict. I think this idea of 'NATO expansion pushing into the Russian sphere' is also wrongheaded: countries get a sphere of influence when they are powerful enough to exert control over their neighbors by simple size disparity, primarily economic, but also military, to such an extent that their neighbors are simply always by default in a weaker position when they negotiate. The USSR had the economic, cultural, and military power to maintain this. The Russians don't. That Putin does not realize this is his failing, not NATO's.

The economic section is also profoundly mistaken. You talk about recessions and inflation as if the Russian economy and the US economy are comparable. They are not: the Russian economy is marginally larger than that of Spain. It is smaller than California or Texas. Any economic confrontation between the West and Russia is modulated by the fact the Russian economy is simply so much smaller: the West is basically a collection of the world's largest economic blocs, minus China and India. An economic fight between the EU and Russia would be a ridiculous mismatch. An economic fight between Russia and the entire West is so unbalanced that it may as well be a trade war between Kentucky and the rest of the US: there is simply no way that Russia can inflict a proportionate amount of economic damage to the west, and the only limit to how much damage the west can inflict on Russia is how willing they are to suffer even a tiny bit in return.
> I'm not sure, but I feel there might be companies that are not selling cloud hosting solutions ;)

> It basically limits me for working for a competitor of ALL of amazon for 18 months.

Amazon have an incredible long-tail of badly-made products across the entire software market. They do a lot more than cloud hosting & book delivery.
This was interesting to me so I spent a while this AM playing with a Python simulation of this effect. I used a simple process model of a normally-distributed underlying 'true skill' for participants, a test with questions of varying difficulty, some random noise in assessing whether the person would get the question right, noise in people's assessments of their own ability, etc.

I fiddled with number of test questions, amounts of variation in question difficulty, various coefficients, etc.

In none of my experiments did I add a bias on the skill axis.

My conclusion is that the "slope < 1" part of the DK effect (from their original graph) is very easy to reproduce as an artifact of the methodology. I could reproduce the rough slope of the DK quartiles graph with a variety of reasonable assumptions. (One simple intuition is that there is noise in the system but people are forced to estimate their percentiles between 0 and 100, meaning that it's impossible for the actual lowest-skill person to underestimate their skill. There are probably other effects too.)

However, I didn't find an easy way using my simulation to reproduce the "intercept is high" part of the DK effect to the extent present in the DK graphs, i.e. where the lowest quartile's average self-estimated percentile is >55%. (*)

However, it strikes me that without a very careful explanation to the test subjects of exactly how their peer group was selected, it's easy to imagine everyone being wrong in the same direction.

(*) EDIT: I found a way to raise the intercept quite a lot simply by modeling that people with lower skill have higher variance (but no bias!) in their own skill estimation. This model is supported by another paper the article references.
Indeed https://twitter.com/Alwaleed_Talal/status/151461595698675712...

One can easily imagine how useful it's for such a country like Saudi Arabia to control the #1 worldwide media platform without being too exposed on the frontline (i.e. as a large, but not too much, shareholder).
> One use case for the new remote functionality is the ability to open files from the embedded terminal emulator in the primary Neovim instance, rather than creating an embedded Neovim instance running inside Neovim itself.

Hmm, if I type "git commit" within the terminal, is there some value of $EDITOR that would make it launch a buffer to edit the commit message, then finish when I close the buffer? (and if so, are there distinguishable success vs failure ways to close the buffer?) That's my biggest editor-within-an-editor moment.
Why do you say archive.org is not a real archive?
There (should) be a very small rectanglular sign right below the stop sign that says "4 way" meaning there are stops on all 4 corners. I've always thought these were way too small to notice and I wouldn't be surprised if they were often missing.
I think that out of all the weapons only the javelin strikes from the top of the tank while flying over it, everything else is a direct fire missile that will hit the tank from the side.

So a 'cage device' on top of the turret seems to be intended solely for Javelins, since every other weapon simply won't strike from that direction.
Awesome - I have an old 80s touring frame that I have completely revamped with lighter 29er wheels and 35C touring tires (usually works pretty well on gravel), wide dirt drops, full racks, etc etc. Brooks saddle of course. Probably would work great for that (although maybe even wider tires would be better - bike has cantilever brakes so I can go pretty wide if I wanted)
All shareholders may believe the true value is greater than the current price but still not buy or sell at the true value price because they don't know when the company will sell for the true value. You see this when a company makes a bid for another company but the deal hasn't gone through yet. It sometimes trades for a little more or a little less, and that's when a deal has been accepted. When it's a little less, that's because there is some legal risk that the deal won't go through. When it is a little more that is because someone thinks the deal will get held up and renegotiated (like another bidder might show up).

So it is possible and common for a stock to be lower then what people expect it to be worth. A really good example of this is when you have a powerful CEO or a person with more voting rights who might hold up a deal for their personal ambition. Think about Shari Redstone at Viacom. Most people think the company is worth more but difficult to sell because she wants to run it awhile to show she can.

Twitter is worth a lot but difficult to sell for all the reasons this deal is showing. Supposedly Disney thought about buying it but realized it would be very controversial. When it takes a long time for the right buyer to show up investors trade the stock at a discount. It happens all the time in media stocks. (Full disclosure: I have Twitter stock)
The data supports the claim because indeed it turns out that incompetent people overestimate their ability. This phenomenon exhibits itself with random data too, so it clearly doesn't mean that incompetent people overestimate their ability because of their incompetence.

Or is it?

The trick lies in the fact that when asked to judge your competence you're given a range (e.g. 0-10) and both competent people and incompetent people have access to the whole range when taking a self-assessment. I.e. if less competent people were on average more aware of their incompetence they may be less likely to rate themselves 5 or 6, but yet the data shows that no matter what competence level you have on average you self-assess more or less the same.

This seems to imply that your incompetence indeed doesn't allow you to truly appreciate the full range of skills that are required to reach a higher level of competence.

In other words, the DK effect itself is the cause of the random distribution of the skill self-assessment (which in turn is the cause of the overestimation secondary effect)
Signing such an agreement for a California job might still affect your ability to relocate to another state for a position with a competitor.
My mistake. I thought it was a term for driving an ICE car.
It's certainly a different way of thinking about your burn rate.
Do you have a cheat sheet or video we can watch to get the gist? Thanks!
Elizabeth Holmes, founder of Theranos and convicted fraudster. And note that he doesn't refer to her as the female Steve Jobs, but as the "lying woman posing as female Steve Jobs".
I hear what you are saying but if the people driving the cars expect you to stop and they go based on the belief that the bicyclists will follow the law and stop then its just a recipe for disaster. Now if the law is changed then the drivers expectations should change as well and all will be well. Until then though one group is breaking the law and the other is not in these specific scenarios. With that said many people drive like fools anyway.
My mistake. Did not know what the term meant.
Lots of negativity regarding someone trying to do something nice for you.
Does that include non-competes signed before you moved? Could your plan be to quit and move to CA?
I find the "right of way" signs in Europe way more strange, specifically when the signs aren't present. When you're on a main thoroughfare, it's pretty obvious you have the right of way. It's on the smaller side streets where you need to yield to the person to your right that things get a little weird.
> everything else is a direct fire missile that will hit the tank from the side

Kyiv has skyscrapers. A dumb RPG (AT4 or RPG7) fired from the 5th story of a building will hit from the top down... onto the weaker top-armor of a tank.

NLAWs are also top-attack weapons btw.
Trying to make a 100 meter structure of this kind is madness

There are no materials that are stiff enough at that size - not even carbon fiber.

The biggest ships engine shafts are literally like pasta and only work because they are mounted on dozens of bearings at regularly spaced intervals.
I'll keep this in mind. I've heard some scary things about falling behind in school and having difficulty in noisy social situations... but it sounds like there's a lot of variation in how well people cope, and she's coping extremely well so far.
I'm in my 30s, been doing this since I've been 23, and absolutely zero issues related to that so far. Everyone I know who has RSI from this line of work seems to be unlucky mostly, so maybe it's just me, but I think it's mostly a matter of getting up and walking or running around for around 15 minutes for every hour of sedentary activity, stretches, underwater ocean swimming for the lungs... All things WAY more likely to give me an RSI just from stepping in the wrong place or whatever other exercise-related injury. Not like I spend hours in strange positions acting like I'm a three toed sloth
Twitter Counters a Musk Takeover with Strategy to Force a Negotiation
I'm expressing how the privatization and capitalization of public spaces is as old as america itself -- as expressed in this early colonial poem -- and the Musk takeover of twitter is just another example.
Did not realize what the term meant. I do not roll coal.
Cool Bugs vs Shitty Bugs, Part 1: Cool Bugs
That may be, but this is the first time I've heard of coc.nvim and I've used neovim for years. So I'll bookmark this and at some point I'll look into it and do some research and figure out how to configure it and compare it to competitors, but is all that really worth the very slight performance advantages we're talking about? I can't type 1000wpm after all.

Sure, VSCode is a power hog and it's slow, but I make pretty good money so the cost of a more powerful development machine is trivial compared to the opportunity cost of doing all that research. Some years I really enjoy learning all about new ways to configure vim/nvim, but I recognize that it's really not an efficient use of my time, it's just been something I do more for fun.
The attention comes from the stories that happen after they leak the C&D that Alphabet is going to send them for naming it after youtube, then quickly roll out a rename.
Why do some people call Redis "read-is"? The world may never know...
The only thing that surprises me about this story is how small the verdict was. How did this not go for seven figures?
Agreed, this seems like shallow advice. It seems to assume individual work rather than teamwork as well.

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool XP'er, so I prefer continuous integration, which involves merging code every few hours.
> "remember Russian people are innocent, it's just Putin we hate!"

That's pretty much gone in the comments section on r/politics.

The vitriol directed against Russians is often over the top now.

As someone who remembers the hatred towards Russians by the American Right during the 80s that is fairly disturbing to me.

Of course the Hacker News threads which try to play down the consequences of a nuclear exchange with Russia are probably worse.
