Hillary conceded defeat the day following the election, Trump still hasn’t to this day and continues the grift based on his lie of stolen election all the while destroying our democracy and fulfilling Putin’s long term goals. It’s pathetic how many republicans know this to be the truth but just won’t come out publicly about it, just see what they were saying on Jan 7 vs. now. Our democracy is circling the drain with the kind of bs being peddled.
That's what always seemed like bullshit to me. If you want to have a 4 year cliff to discourage job hopping, then give people a 4 year cliff. Why try to weasel them into it?
what if the govt lends you 100k but you spent 500k of your savings and time? now they own a 600k asset that nobody needs to pay you for using.
The weird thing is, when I looked into this, I learned that the plane he crashed didn't appear to be his plane. In all his other videos he is piloting a different plane and the plane he crashed wasn't registered to him, it was registered to someone named "Laura Smith."

Edit: I just watched another video which claimed that he purchased the plane about a month before the crash, but didn't complete the registration until after the video came out (which was another month after that). Still suspicious.
Is it actually known for sure that he crashed the plane for real and didn't just fake it with a bit of VFX? The times article seems to suggest that he completely cleaned up the crash?
I can recommend the book "Smalltalk Design Patterns Companion" for the purpose of - learning Design Patterns. Because of Smalltalk's simplicity the design patterns' "essence" comes through more easily than in a clunky low-level language like C++. This book also provides good examples of what good Smalltalk code looks like.
Seems like you would do just as well to front page promoted games and let the rest be searchable. Right now I make zero purchases because I don't want to invest in a platform that has 1 out of 20 retro games I'm interested in.

>> but optimizing non-peak memory has no impact. You have to be able to identify the peak in order to reduce memory usage.

In some sense this is only true if you're the end user of a platform, if you're trying to pack jobs onto machines then you actually do care about the utilization at any given time, since you can oversubscribe based on someone's max usage.

E.g., you can give everyone a limit based on their peak memory, but then bin pack based on their actual usage (and evict when you're wrong)
Just a few moments reading this should sober people up [1].

> Then we end up with corruption. The party members milked us so much, yet the milk hasn’t run out yet. This is how rich Turkey is. So rich, with all the stealing, it’s still standing.

This statement is casually thrown around generally by those who find themselves belonging to the other side (politically speaking). But where is the evidence?

I’ve visited verifiably — as in the names of the leaders appear in all those leaks over the years — corrupt countries. The corruption shows in the disparities in societies. For example, access to tap water, heating, good roads, and other infrastructural types. For example, accessibility of education. For example, the purchasing power of the averaging citizen as measured in concrete terms (eg housing, food, etc) not in dollars.

In the corrupt countries the infrastructure is generally terrible. The citizens can barely afford food. There are no universities. In turkey it seems like non of this holds.

So, how is Erdogan corrupt? Is it just because OP is in dogmatic opposition to his ideals? IIRC the genesis of Erdogans political career is his management of Istanbul as mayor to improve the quality of life of all of its citizens. I believe that counts for something in a sense that he deserves the benefit of the doubt and the burden is on the accusers to show concrete evidence of corruption. Something like how Kushner received billions from the Saudis after the end of Trumps term.
The controls and reproducibility of studies on human nutrition may not be as rock solid as you think they are. The conventional wisdom on nutrition has changed radically since many doctors, including one in my direct family went through medical school.

There are also considerable distortions due to who is paying for the research.

I default to Vanilla, would agree to Svelte under pressure. But most start with React. The logic likely being — at least I'll find a job if this fails. Can't blame, makes sense.

"Better to use the extinguishers as extra thrust for a wing suit." does not read like something a reasonable person would inject as a contribution to the conversation.
It's not just plugging in the monitor, it's setting everything up - are you doing screen cloning or expanding your desktop? How do you move windows between screens? How do you configure your OS to know where one display is positioned relative to another (so that windows can be dragged).

I don't want to imply that most people are incapable of figuring this out. But I do think it's potentially hard to find and properly configure your display settings in Windows (which is where corporate is) - if you even have access to such.

This is kind of thing is why people buy iMacs, instead of a laptop and nice external monitor.

The Quest 2 is wireless, and I think VR will have to be wireless to really succeed. At that point it'll be more like "just put on the headset" than "connect the headset to the laptop". The applications will run on-board or stream from the cloud, which is already a thing that works well.
There are arguments on whether plagiarism is a bad thing in an academic context. I'm not nearly qualified enough to make them, but they exist if you want to go looking.
By cache, I assume the writer means disk cache. Disks are slow! (Yes, even your PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD is.) So the kernel (usually) uses RAM to cache reads and writes. (This can be bypassed, but let's ignore that.) Under heavy disk IO, using fast RAM for this cache is more beneficial than reserving it on behalf of a program that may use it very rarely, or maybe even not at all (in the case of memory leaks)!

If on a hypothetical 8GiB RAM system, programs require 6 but 2 of those are rarely used, there is no memory contention but the extra space for disk cache is still a helpful boost.

I do think program memory is more valuable on most desktop systems, since commonly memory access is expected to be fast while disk access is expected to be slow. This means that interactive software tends to mitigate for slow IO, while it can't do much against being swapped out.

On servers however I'd probably rather let the kernel do its job (at least if I'm focusing on throughput), unexpected slowness may worsen a worst case but the average case is helped enough.

Luckily, the Linux kernel, for all of its memory management flaws (don't get me started on overcommit), allows configuring this using the vm.swappiness parameter that tells it what to prioritize.

Yeah, same here. I recently setup a localized Vaultwarden instance and it barely uses any resources. MySQL or PostgreSQL is a bit overkill as well for just a single instance, unless you plan on scaling it later on.
This is fear mongering, and works in both directions. You're assuming that older crime stats were reported with more reliability.

"Quite a few underclass people" and "people like that."

Do you work at a FAANG? I'm asking because I think that your attitude here just might spill over into your work. And if you build software for the masses while thinking of them/us as "people like that" it is likely to result in a frustrating experience for you and a poor experience for your user.
Dedicated servers still require staff to maintain. If you’re just comparing EC2, dedicated servers may be cheaper. Once you get to application offerings, such as databases, caching, etc., you now need to weigh the cost of administering those applications directly.

That’s just for one location. If you need redundancy, you’ll also need to factor in those costs. Alternatively, I can spin up a multi-AZ database in a few minutes on a cloud provider.

STEM degrees are liberal arts degrees. "Liberal arts" is what is called "a traditional western education," which encompasses all of the sciences.

> Liberal arts education (from Latin liberalis "free" and ars "art or principled practice")[1] is the traditional academic program in Western higher education.[2] Liberal arts takes the term art in the sense of a learned skill rather than specifically the fine arts. Liberal arts education can refer to studies in a liberal arts degree program or to a university education more generally. Such a course of study contrasts with those that are principally vocational, professional, or technical.

Misusing the term is just participating in anti-intellectual propagandizing.
> Try putting a consumer-grade SSD into a machine with 512 GiB RAM and let the kernel swap to it -- that SSD will be dead in a year.

Are you sure? I’ve heard the argument before that swap is one of the better cases for SSD longevity, because it’s few big writes instead of many tiny ones, and found that convincing. Also, on which workloads would a machine with that much RAM touch swap at all? My workstation has “only” 64 GiB, has swap configured (to enable suspend), even during heavy use with some databases running never touches it.
I couldn't actually see anybody taking that line? There's a lot of quibbling about whether individual details like hiking to the wreckage indicate that it's fake or not, but there's also a pretty consistent view that there's a whole lot of red flags and the sum total is suspicious as hell.
A simplified version of your post reads thus:

On the one hand, I’m pretty sure that act of crashing a plane isn’t illegal by itself and there isn’t a regulation that states you must get approval or coordinate with the FAA prior to a crash. But even if you manage to set things up so that you aren’t endangering the public, the moment you leave a flying plane unattended you have turned it into a UAV, and you almost certainly break the FAA’s rules on UAV operations. So if you’re going to crash a plane intentionally you have to ride it all the way to the ground :)
Florida. There are two cases being discussed in this thread and at least one post explicitly conflates them. "Cindy and Fred" are in Florida. The other story is a different couple in a similar though different situation. They are actually named, and live in Maryland.
It's a program to get people, primarily with advanced degrees (i.e. Law, Medicine, Dentistry, PhDs, etc.) who would otherwise go to industry.

You have to work for a state, local, federal or tribal government, or a 501c3 (non-profit) for ten years in order to qualify.
This is going to sound mean but the more you talk the more confused I am about your original point. Please understand, I am trying to understand you.

You originally said:

> options being cheaper to purchase means a larger tax bill when you vest them

The operative word here is vest. No tax on vest.

I think you are trying to say "if you join a startup and get dirt cheap options, when you exercise them at a later date and they are worth something then, your tax bill will be larger than if you got more expensive options and exercise them. Yes, this is true.

- strike price: $0.01 FMV at exercise: $20
- strike price: $15.00 FMV at exercise: $20

You have a larger gain in the first, so sure, you will pay more tax. Is this what you are trying to say?
I wonder why Brave Search doesn't have an option to disable the suggestion feature.

Right on red has massively increased pedestrian fatalities. The “research” claiming to show it was safe was so shoddy it’s fair to just call it fraudulent.
This is confusing, because you are linking here to a story about a couple in Maryland. "Cindy and Fred", as quoted in the post you replied to, are in Florida.
Keep in mind that "big companies" consist of many "small people".

If you offer them the IP for sale any decision-maker in the company that could approve paying for it will need to ask themselves: "How much would this help my career in this company personally? Or does it put me in risk of possible failure? Does it put me in competition with our other departments? How much would we need to invest our own time and efforts to integrate this IP into our product-line?".
Wasn't that because it had compiler optimizations disabled, due to a bug in the compiler that was subsequently fixed after the initial cartridge release?
That's for tampering with aircraft "used, operated, or employed in interstate, overseas, or foreign air commerce", which seems unlikely for a private GA plane, even if you stretch the definition of "interstate commerce" like courts like to do. Plus the section is really about other people's planes, not ones you own, otherwise anybody performing maintenance work "disabling" a plane just committed a felony.
Wow. I could have easily been on a list like that a couple of times, one that stands out for me because I never saw it coming was uncoupling a loaded trailer that had 50 Kg on the balance when coupling it (which is a pretty safe amount, not too much, not too light). The load had shifted just a little bit backwards and after releasing the latch on the hitch if absolutely zoomed upwards. It missed me by a very small (uncomfortably small) fraction of an inch and if I had stood another 2" closer to the hitch it would have hit me full on. Very scary. The chains with which the machine on the back had been secured had gone a bit slack and the drive apparently was enough to shift the center of gravity to just behind the axle, that's a mistake I will never make again, always support a trailer front and back if you have to uncouple while it is still loaded.
Perhaps there's a distinction he and others fail to make most of the time - free speech is generally good, but being free to listen and speak to those who want to listen might be sufficient for a free society, and a more fundamental type of freedom?

Almost all discussions of free speech are about speech as something you do to others, not as something you engage in voluntarily with others.

Of course, if it really were a taboo then all online interaction with strangers would be right out.

P.S. Can anyone from the UK explain the meaning of the phrase "bloody Croydon!"? I probably encountered it from Douglas Adams I'm guessing.
There's a couple reasons why not to do this, primarily flexibility. The program is expressly designed to allow people to move between positions, as long as they remain in a state, federal, local, tribal or 501c3 job. Those jobs also aren't guaranteed, nor is the government obligated to find you a posting.

The program wasn't started in bad faith, spent some time there under the Trump administration where it was effectively non-functional, and is now functioning again.
This is an area where everyone's anecdotal evidence is different, because people are running all sorts of different workloads on all sorts of different RAM/swap/disk configurations.

Naturally, some people will have had consistently positive experiences with swap, while others will have come out with consistently negative impressions. 32GB RAM + 512MB swap backed by a fast SSD is very different from 2GB RAM + 512MB swap backed by spinning rust. JVM is different from MySQL, which again uses memory differently than PostgreSQL.

And yet we are so eager to hurl sweeping generalizations at each other, holding religiously onto our own subjective cargo cults. :(
Nginx implemented with a reverse proxy, with a sub request to the built in auth module.

Basically, you can forward portions of a http request (cookie or bearer token) to another service not accessible directly by the user. That serverice responds with a 200 or not, and the request is allowed, or not.

It's real simple, I've hooked something up to the discord API and other methods like this. Usually, one uses a already built identity system with RBAC built in.

Check out ory kratos and ory oathkeeper. Those fit right in.

Granted, you should always validate the authorization on the application side too, but this just adds another layer of security.

We use API keys for all APIs. The keys can be scoped to a tenant, endpoint(s), HTTP methods (GET/POST) and also can be locked down via IP address.

We also use OAuth access tokens for a few of our API endpoints. We're looking at rolling that out through more of our API endpoints.

We have a few APIs that can be called without any authentication at all. With this situation, the data returned is typically a subset of what would be returned if called with an API key.

And finally, basic auth for one API that integrates with Prometheus.
The NTSB doesn’t even travel to every GA fatal accident, let alone one reported as an old T-craft engine failure with no injuries (assuming the case where he didn’t post the video).

Of course, without the intent of posting the video, that plane doesn’t crash, so the NTSB doesn’t come looking then either.
Have you lived in rural areas? Despite the romanticism portrayed in the media around rural live, it's absolutely not like that. It can take an hour for police to show up when you call them, if they show up at all. Most of the people in your area are probably on, or cooking meth. Crime is just as bad, and often more violent than it is in the city. Sure, people aren't stealing your bikes, but they are stealing parts from your car. They're stealing your air conditioners. They're breaking into places and ripping the wiring out.

In general, I worry more about crime when I'm in the country, than when I'm in a city.
> Corrupt elites often shut growth down.

Yeah so that's oncologists for one, suppose I go to Cuba to a real doctor the likes of which cannot be found in America and get treated for cancer. That's precisely what I want is for that doctor to shut the growth of the tumor down, be a corrupt elite to that tumor, tell it the show's over. It's part of my body like the runaway growth thing is part of the economy, but if either growth is harming its surrounding environment, taking up resources or pushing things out, forget it. Tumor repression, oppression and suppression, all three!

Exponential growth is too unstable, it can't go on forever. If it had taken place since before the Middle Ages, or any other dark age, like it would be too stupid everyone would either own or owe a galaxy. It's not just that's too much, it's also that would be a highly stupid premise for a life to be born into. So it's marketed like "hey we'd all be rich" but come on, for there to be credit there has to be debt, no creditors without debtors. In these fantasies they never talk about who'd be the debtor, but here's a hint, between the speaker talking about we are all going to be too rich for sins to matter, and the listeners, it's not the speaker.
You mean the feelings of superiority that you get from making comments like these.
