I've had this with credit card accounts. It usually gets settled pretty quickly when I escalate it to fraud or security.
I used to use individual email addresses for every site (I run my own email infrastructure, so it's easy). To be honest, didn't really see much of any spam to the site-specific accounts so after a few years I got bored of doing it and mostly use my primary address everywhere these days.

For the large sites like fb, linkedin, twitter, etc I do use unique emails. Not so much for spam, just to compartmentalize them away from my primary email so they don't have it.
I was getting some dude's email for about 7 years. Started with newsletters and discussion threads for a journalism guild and a teacher's union. I found that amusing and left it, but one day emailed whoever was in charge and let them know I'm not the intended recipient. Stopped for a while and then it started again and I ignored it.

But in the last few years I started getting hotel reservations, golf course membership, bills, orders for liver supplements. I tracked down who it is ages ago and sent them an email (I was cordial - "Hey we have such similar names but I'm on the other side of the world, crazy huh?") and got no response. Eventually I replied to the liver pill people and said "Hey this isn't me and if you could let the actual person know that'd be great" and the emails stopped. Way to go liver pill people.
As a dev its not valuable to spend time dealing business. The skills are not transferable and is only value to the current organization. This is where managers shine.
High LDL is a known consequence of keto on lean people. There are ongoing studies to find out if this is a risk factor for plaque development in otherwise metabolically healthy people.
Anyway stopping the diet would normally lower his LDL to his previous levels without the need of going on statins at 23...
I had the exact same experience as a young owner of a cool new remote controlled car. However, I think this example proves the point that Apple isn't the first or only company to exclude "required" components.

My RC car didn't have batteries and they were most certainly required. Should the RC company include batteries? Does it come down to "expendable" items, like batteries, are exempt from this rule?
Dropbox didn't sell, they got hacked. But, yes, my Dropbox mail gets a ridiculous amount of spam.
> and in new versions of your type checker, you have to make sure that they didn’t change their meaning and that they didn’t introduce new flags that you really, really should use.

That's what the --strict flag is for, which the author even quietly uses in a later example without explaining it. Though it may be too noisy to immediately turn it on in some projects.

As for the example of getting something returned from the network that has a mismatching type, there's no way mypy could guess that. You'd have to add an explicit `isinstance(foo, int)` check or use a runtime type checker.

The author does have a point that people might simply use wrong type hints if they don't have a proper type checker set up though. I've seen so much code with `any` instead of `Any`, `[foo]` instead of `list[foo]`, etc. as type hints. Using something like pre-commit and/or editor plugins to run mypy automatically while editing is probably the best. But it's true that even then, without --strict or equivalent, you can too easily satisfy the type checker by simply annotating something as a `dict` or `list`, without explicitly using `Any`.

Still, I don't think this means we shouldn't use type hints at all. It could definitely be more beginner-friendly, but most of the mentioned issues can be addressed with proper configuration.
LOL, go ahead and believe what you wish. More the fool you, though, if you naïvely believe that the ultra-wealthy don’t manage their public image!
I wish i was always in front of customers. I wouldn’t have had the product or any managers acting as proxies and agreeing on things that don’t make any sense and don’t bring any value to them.

Most people think that customers have no idea, while in most cases if you put the right knowledgable people in front of them they would build amazing features together. I have seen it in an AI startup! Whenever us devs worked with the customers we built amazing data science products. Whenever it was managers, it was all these random non sensical requests and demands.
Don't assume an agenda, you also had a very positive spin on tech fibers in another thread yesterday [0], perhaps OP felt like we could benefit from an opposing view.

If anything out of scale alone the collective of cotton/wool/linen producers will likely have a lot less lobbying power than the industry around petro-chemical fibers.

Github is Microsoft now, the open dev experience is on life support, and likely to soon be extinguished.
From the article, there doesn't seem to be much of a conclusion rather than more studies are needed, since the technology is poorly understood. And I agree, the idea is that ionization happens naturally, it does, especially after lightning strikes, which then pulls particles downwards to the ground and nearby objects, the same happens indoor. This is good, particles <2.5ppm are attached to objects and usually stay attached and can be removed by wiping, the article you linked to targets gasses and their reactions to ionization in industrial ionizers which is the poorly understood parts. The article also doesn't compare home HEPA efficiency vs home Ionization, so it's not clear which is better or worse. Most modern air pumps also use ionization to clean the air, mainly using plasma (since it's the fastest), so ionization is already widely used in homes.

The problem with HEPA filters are the destruction of resources to make them, the bad controls of their quality and their short lifespan (Cheap home HEPA filter needs exchanging every 3 months) and their high price (>30€).
I've had Xbox downloads use 1Gbps, once ( i had to triple check because i thought my router is only capable of 300/300 and i thought my plan allowed for 300Mbps down max). And outside of that it's always nice to be able to stream Netflix in 4K while doing Steam downloads and OS updates etc. simultaneously.
Mind explaining what has "cizinec" with all of this?

Btw. most of the Slavs are in for big surprise where comes English word "slave" from.
Yes, but deliberate malfeasance isn't the usual problem when this occurs, as much as some variant of "the BI person hit run before the query was finished".
I was a vegan for 2 years in the past. First year I also didn’t have any deficiencies. But then it all caught up and ruined my health after two years. Low iron, low B12, constant fatigue, low libido (in 20s), muscle mass loss (people who haven’t seen me for a while thought I was either sick or on heavy drugs), no drive, bloating, constant gas (has to take anti gas pills), constant canker sores (turned out b12 related), etc.
There is also a Haskell port of the original PostgreSQL parser, implemented using megaparsec, which makes it highly flexible and hackable: https://github.com/nikita-volkov/hasql-th#implementation
For autoparts they are clearly marked as “reman” or rebuilt or remanufactured or something of the like.
Solid Financial Technologies pretty much does this and has a number of companies as customers. Here's the API for enrolling Persons, Businesses, doing KYC/KYB, creating bank accounts, issuing virtual/physical credit cards, letting customers use credit cards, do ACH / wire transfers, ... accounts in US$ or ETHER or DOGE or other crypto ... everything a startup or established company needs for providing financial experiences to their customers: https://www.solidfi.com/docs/introduction?&_ga=2.45803424.50...

I've heard "Uncle Jokes" as a term for dad jokes with an uncomfortable subject (NSFW or otherwise).
Net neutrality isn't really related to end-user Internet speed. It's just about ensuring that all traffic is treated and billed equally.
You do? Where? I can name all the most profitable shops and every single one of them is staffed by ex tradfi prop shop guys.

edit: actually no, I can think of a couple counter-examples of successful firms started by people with no professional trading background, but it's exceedingly rare.

PS: My original comment came off as exceedingly harsh and am sorry for that. OP if you read this mb, just got kind of triggered for a moment. However I will say the design of your site is really slick!
> Can they selectively drop packets

Absolutely not. That practice should literally be illegal.

> or do they have to drop them randomly?

Yes. This is the only reasonable approach.

> And can you pay to be in a “never drop my packets” group?

No. That should be illegal to offer.

If the ISP's network is incapable of meeting their customer's demands during peak hours and they oversubscribed themselves so badly that they're contemplating such tactics then they ran their business dishonestly. They fraudulently made promises that they were incapable of delivering on and got caught. They need to fix their network or go out of business. And possibly should face legal consequences for their behavior.
I personally cannot confirm this for web.de
For years I had been using their email service without receiving a single spam mail. Now, I do get occasionally spam but only few a month but only for the account I use a lot. For the newly created ones again no spam.
I wonder if the polypropylene in n95 masks is going to be identified as a problem in this sense. Bummer if so, having been a heavy user for years.
No, that isn't at all what they employed. Social media is full of advertising and far away from "natural" content. Reddit may be a better example but even there is a lot of astroturfing.

Be that as it is, but it would still be better than government control of content. And which content is illegal? Stating something wrong isn't, not even in Europe that has low protections of freedom of expression, even if it is mandated in most fundamental charters of every country.

Some outlets are even open about artificial stories about the war. Someone that released the truth is imprisoned in the UK and in danger of being extradited.
I like type hints, but trying to retrofit it into an existing project I’ve found difficult, because you end up with Union[type1, type2, type3] in some places.
Unobvious as long as someone doesn’t try it in court. I seem to remember that Zappos lost a case about unilateral modification once but I don’t know the exact content.
This has been my experience as well, as someone who added a pre-commit hook (black and mypy) to a repo in lieu of adding it to CI (it was a while ago). I came back to the team a year later to find that everyone had simply disabled the hook, and forgone typing/formatting entirely. A day or two of fixing formatting, type hints and linting errors later, the CI pipeline had a new step enforcing all three :)
I don't think I've seen any serious suggestions that inflammation per se causes beneficial adaptations. Rather, <some activity> imposes a stress and the recovery/adaption process is mediated by inflammation, i.e. the why of the inflammation is important.
I'm not disagreeing with you, just trying to steelman the argument properly and separate out two different issues. IMO there's room for the FTC to have an "unreasonable use" penalty but otherwise mandate net neutrality. It has to come from the FTC so we need to actually properly regulate telecoms.
I understand that you feel frustrated; your role does not match your expectations. So maybe you should find out the meaning and the purpose of your role. In the end, you are paid for adding value in the corporate environment; your contribution can happen in many ways, e.g. by hosting more effective meetings or by improving decision frequency and speed etc. Adding value in a corporation is not always about technical achievements, but also about improving the team and the game (as a social process).
If this is not your cup of tea, you might be better served by a technical role in some specialized consulting company.
You are experiencing alienation. Your work is driven by motivations that you can't relate to. You are being pulled around by decisions you don't agree with and you have meetings for reasons you can't even conceive of.

Naturally, it is easier to perform some work if you understand and agree with its intent and the way it's executed, or if it's indeed your own choice what to do and how to go about it. You will never fully experience this as a wage worker taking commands from a manager taking commands from a boss taking commands from another boss taking commands from a board of owners motivated by their own profit, but perhaps work will seem more meaningful in a smaller company where you have more influence on decision making.

Depending on culture you may also be able to take a bit more charge. Demand to know a clear agenda in advance of meetings, decline meetings that don't have an agenda that's relevant to your work and insist that the agenda is followed during meetings. Impart on your manager that your time is being wasted when it is.
the discords I follow are usually niche topics and I found them through 'the community around that niche topics'... they more or less replaced the old topical phpBB forums.
I have used different email addresses for ever recipient/registration for 20 years. There have been very few incidents.

More than 15 years ago the addresses I had used for Financial Times and Finnair started to get Viagra etc spam. At least one of them was after a big leak at an online marketing firm that made headlines. I closed the addresses so I have no idea whether the flood has ever stopped.

Maybe 10 years ago I booked a cruise to Saint Petersburg using a coupon from Groupon. After that I started to get spam in Russian. I don't read Russian but online gambling was obviously a topic. I contacted Groupon and asked about their sharing. Talked to their head of don't remember and he claimed it's simple: They don't share the address with anyone. It was obviously not true befause I never had any contact with Russia before or after and the timing was very evident. I closed the address.

Another address is in the Linux source / LKML. It gets Nigeria letters all the time, but with low frequency. Less than 1 a week on average. Maybe 1 or 2 in German and French over the years.

Those are the biggest cases. Maybe some other odd one over 20 years. It's worse with completely stupid tech marketing on my work address (which has been the same for 4 years).
> I believe

You can believe and eat whatever you like. But if you make disingenous faith based arguments in a public forum, expect to be called out.
It still seems to me like "The DK Effect is Autocorrelation" is basically correct. The important thing isn't whether or not independence should be the null hypothesis, because calling something a "null hypothesis" is just an arbitrary label that doesn't affect reality. The important thing is that what we can actually conclude from the Dunning-Kruger paper is a lot less than popular presentations of the concept claim. In particular, "more skilled people are better at predicting their own performance" is really not supported by the paper, since that's not true of random data, which has everyone being equally terrible at predicting their own performance. If the random data can reproduce that graph, then the graph can't be proof that more skilled people are also better predictors.

Anyway, "The DK Effect is Autocorrelation" definitely seems to be both statistically literate, and a good faith criticism of the Dunning-Kruger paper. In light of that, calling it "anti-scientific" seems unfair, since criticism and debate are an important part of science.
We see articles claiming that people have microplastics within their bodies (either lungs or bloodstream), is there any evidence on the weight of contributing causes?

For example, is most of the plastic in bloodstreams due to plastic cookware, tap water, bottled water, sea fish, aquaculture fish, meat?
Regarding adjusting song/volume without looking, you can obviously adjust the volume with the volume buttons, but if you have an Android you can also change tracks with a long-press of the volume buttons, even when the screen is locked. I use a sideloaded app that uses an ADB-only permission that makes this possible (see link). I'm not sure why this isn't a native feature.

He never wrote own name? I would expect him writing his own name the way he normally writes it to be "signature" - regardless of font.
Didn’t expect to see this on here! This looks like a really fun device. I already have most of the Elektron range, including the Analog Rytm and Model:Cycles, which this is kind of a “best of” combination of… but I must say I’m still tempted by having all that variety in one fairly portable device.

If you’ve not used Elektron stuff and have an interest in electronic music making without a computer, this is well worth a look. Their stuff is super fun, creative and powerful - it’s aimed a bit more at “live” performance (there’s no “arrange” or “song” mode, instead you are expected to mute and modulate things in real-time) which can actually be quite freeing compared to the blank slate of a DAW.

Edit: from a HN perspective, I guess it’s interesting to look at this from a business perspective. It’s quite a shrewd move, in that most of the synth “machines” already exist in the Analog Rytm and Model:Cycles, and the chassis and software already exist in the Digi line, so the “risky” part of the R&D for this was quite small. It’s a desirable item and I think will help them increase their addressable market due to the “all in one box” nature of it - really there is everything you need except sampling in one box here, all wrapped up in a fun UI!
Yes, let's ignore the wealthy people abusing the power and resources their positions give them. It's all the newspaper's fault.

People like you make me angry.
For Debezium (a change data capture solution) we parse SQL for some of the connectors in order to keep track of the schema of captured tables as DDL statements are executed.

Events we receive e.g. from MySQL aren't fully self-descriptive, you need to know the schema they adhere to in order to interpret them. As table schemas can change over time and as -- due to the async nature of streaming the transaction log -- we may receive change events produced from before a table's schema was changed, we cannot simply query the current table schema. Parsing incoming DDL events is the only way for keeping the connector's view on the schema in sync.
Heh, well you could be weary and wary I guess.
That’s not the logic at all.

The logic is what I said. If you start growing more plants it will not fix monocropping issue. It will only make it worse.

If you don’t want to eat beef that has been fed monocropped feed then vote with your wallet and buy sustainable meat that was pasture raised (on non-arable land).
No, I suspect the algorithm takes into account both the sender as well as the content of the message in deciding which comments to push to the front. Reliably 'progressive' senders - especially those which create more 'progressive' engagement - get extra points, this in combination with a 'progressive' message or one critical of any non-'progressive' message seems to be among the deciding factors in what to push to the front. In the absence of 'progressive' senders and/or content the algorithm probably looks for senders who create more engagement over those who don't, adding an extra click barrier between 'progressive' messages and comments which are critical of such.

Popular non-'progressive' senders - Trump and now Musk being the poster child of such - probably get their own comment manager who makes sure there is always some vitriol waiting no matter the message. This does not scale but the Pareto principle makes that it does not have to since there are not that many of such. The same may be true for popular 'progressive' senders where comment managers may make sure there are supportive comments but this seems to be less clear-cut.
> The internet tells me that caller IDs are easy to spoof, which I didn’t know but doesn’t surprise me

A security engineer does not know THIS? I'm confused.
I was hoping for some more subversive chicanery like making it pump erratically like it’s ejaculating into your hand to gross everyone out. :D
Is there any guidance for customers to reduce clothing microplastics they shed? Or should they care more about garbage?
I would personally be vary of judging people on what they put on their GitHub accounts, because a lot of the real work people do is often locked away in private repositories (or on other platforms).

I can use myself as an anecdotal example. I use GitHub mainly to store guides and neat tricks for myself, and to sometimes share some excellent code. All my current professional work lives in Azure DevOps, locked away so that you would never know so if I didn’t tell you. I have a NPM package that should be private but is public because we share it with some contractors and nonsense occurred (loooong story that is basically answered by “above my pay grade”). If you found it and looked at my GitHub profile, then you might use it, and you’d experience some breaking changes that you typically wouldn’t with good OSS NPM packages every time we make some major updates to it. Because we don’t really factor external user into our processes.
From GP: "extreme amounts of resources"

"Extreme" here meaning ... the connection bandwidth that was explicitly paid for? Except for the fine print where the ISP notified the customer that they were going to horribly oversubscribe things. It amounts to fraud as far as I'm concerned.
A futures market would give some income stream to anyone who held significant inventories. Wonder how soon we have something like a futures market for semiconductors
It sounds to me that such requirement beats the whole purpose of the signature - to identify it was actually you signing the document.
These people are not clever. Their calculations are apparent if you allow for sufficient sleaziness. CNN+ made sense back when Jeff Zucker was to be the man behind the throne of the Cuomo presidency. CNN+ would then have had the access to stay relevant as YouTube and Netflix ate up cable and satellite. Probably would have panned out if De Blasio hadn’t continuously sucked the oxygen out of the entire state for short-lived ego points. BLM was meant to be Cuomo’s road to the White House, not a city crosswalk, stupid bastard.
It's not even shades of grey, it's black and white only (on or off). This means it's very high contrast and the white pixels are very reflective.
There is no such thing as extended ASCII, as the standard only specifies characters up to 0x7F. What comes after is implementation dependent, DOS/Windows had code pages, there's ISO standards, SHIFT-JIS, etc. none of which are compatible with each other.
I’ve seen this before and I’m really not convinced that it’s not just another attempt to spread another negative story about Thatcher. As others have pointed out - hugely expensive project with limited benefit at the time, and not clear the technology choice then would have actually made a cost effective broadband project now.
I find prql more English for some reason...
Bold claims require bold sources.
As long as the projects being contributed to are using well understood licenses, the projects themselves are fine. If the employer wants ownership of any of the work, the ownership they’ll get is rights to claim they were contributors. Still mostly good!
The difference between the OSM and Google tile is 75 bytes. So if they serve one million tiles OSM saved 75MB.

OSM needs 54TB for all tiles but only around 1.8% are viewed. So you need at least 1TB of cache.

I am curious if this micro optimalization really makes a difference.
