> What exactly is the difference between a list of packages expressed like this and a list of packages expressed in puppet's syntax?

This doesn’t require a puppet install to work, and is ~100 lines of perl which would easily fit into the pkg infrastructure on OpenBSD if it gets adoption?
You can always create new trees by commiting or rebasing but absent being able to find a proper hash collision you can't change content within a given commit hash.
They aren’t alike at all. The listed sites spend actual legitimate effort with their organizations and the news they publish. The right wing sites you named are grifts. Not high effort passionate work.

Your comment makes it seem more likely you disagree with left wing stuff.
Can you explain alliterative numbers?
This is the most comprehensive list of what I've seen for OMSCS research opportunities. Thanks for pulling this together.
The lure of gdb is that you do not need to write the logging code.

But I am reminded of the diddy: "If a system has a Powerful Debugger, what does that say about the apparent need for a Powerful Debugger?" --- I read that as: if you have a kick-a* debugger, you have a really complicated system. Maybe the answer is to make the system less complicated.
The goal is a subversive desire to not allow consideration of the above hypothesis while paradoxically acting on the above hypothesis as fact and dictatorially allowing themselves to puppet-string the admitted demographic wantonly.

What's really upsetting the Ivy League is that, on a merit basis, their student body should be mostly Asian.[1] Average East Asian IQ is around 105. The University of California undergraduate population is around 35% Asian, and it would be higher if Asians were not discriminated against in admissions.[2] Blacks are only 12% of the US population, and 15% of Princeton students. So nothing to complain about there.

IQ numbers by race are getting hard to find. Quora deleted an article cited by Forbes.[3] There are no solid numbers in the Wikipedia article any more.[2]

Maybe we can harness the energy from pity parties of sufficiently notable scope.
The interesting part of the paradox of tolerance is the nourishment of your own intolerance the moment you accept the paradox as truth. Maybe it's also a good direction to look into how people abandon their former believe and start radicalizing themselves at this point. Because in some aspects this is similar to the turning point of a gatekeeping-experience.
It isn't hard to say something more true and less extreme, but the purpose of the enforcement of the "safe and effective" narrative across channels was about tribal signaling.

The good tribe said "safe and effective" and everybody who disagreed was part of the bad tribe and needed to have bad things done to them. Basically the same reason shibboleths were invented to begin with.
You're on the path, and the end is almost inevitable - no social media accounts at all, and no smartphone. It's wonderful.
Because not all wealth is liquid, the future purchasing power of the money you'd get from the assets matters as well.

We've seen about 11% inflation since 2019 already, but the m1 money supply increased by about 40% during this time.

I have yet to hear anyone suggest reasons why consumer prices will not eventually catch up to that 40%. There's a big difference between it happening overnight versus happening over the course of a decade, but it still matters.

On another thread:

Presumably, houses are included in this metric. You could sell your massively overvalued house now, and realize that gain in asset prices... But then you're probably going to either be paying inflated rent or buying another property with an inflated value so it kind of ends up being a wash.
Also an option. Maybe I should even put a threshold, like if anyone offers me a position for more than 30€/hour I drop out in favor of it.
Ultimate it is the Fed’s decision though. But anyways your calculations make sense, but it all falls part if you don’t do them in real terms. Because in nominal terms, the solution to your equations is simply hyperinflation or start a new currency, a la Argentina.
Question for people with 4k 31-32" monitors on MacOS: What scaling option do you use?

To me the options either result to too big UI, or jaggy text with regular sized UI.
Yes, that's certainly true (for the record, most of my donations are to Givewell -- I particularly admire GiveDirectly as well -- and I think most charity should go directly to where it's most needed). But there are exceptions -- for example, investing in (relatively already wealthy) health research industries (e.g. addressing pandemics) can save lives in the long run (indirectly), and I think some educational efforts and reserving a small part of your donations to local issues is effective. Diversification is a good idea in this case because I don't have time to measure some of those impacts precisely; otherwise I'd give everything to the most effective cause.
I thought the book was great! It's also the only book on negotiation that I've ever read (aside from Art of the Deal out of curiosity, which isn't actually about negotiations at all!), so take my views with a grain of salt.

If you ignore the stuff your linked comments complain about, which is largely him having an obnoxious writing style and literal too-cool-for-(Harvard)-school attitude (them nerds don't know nothin'!), I found tons of the actual content immediately applicable with lots of return.

The thing I absolutely loved about the book was shifting your mindset away from negotiations being these big scary stressful standoffs with winners and losers, and towards them being lighthearted, possibly even fun(!) shared problem solving sessions. That mental shift, and having a box of tools to use, makes navigating tricky situations so much easier.

It also make me look forward to previously stressful situations. For instance, I recently bought a new car, which is a process I usually loathe. However, using all the tricks from the book, I was able to negotiate down a crazy amount off our car with the main approach being the "how can I do X?" from the book. There was some back and forth, some huffing and puffing about how it couldn't be done ("we're already taking a loss on this!"), but eventually, after numerous showy checks with the management, we agreed on a price. I legit had a blast the whole time cause the mental state the entire time was "can we solve this problem together?"
Find something better.

Don’t quit social media. Don’t restrict yourself by setting rules you’ll break a few days later. Why? Because it doesn’t work.

Life can be and will be about what you are passionate about.

So sure go ahead and enjoy wasting time on the internet. But after 15-30 minutes when it’s no longer enjoyable but rather you are seeking that enjoyment you first had, get up and try something new. It might be awful (so one and done), but it also might be amazing. It might just become the activity you wake up excited to do every day that social media/web scrolling doesn’t even compare to.
Tangential, but it bothers me that the technical definition of "precision" is often at odds with its common usage.

Someone who is very precise in their measurements and measures Mount Everest to be 29,000 ft has a figure that is less "precise" than that of someone who is sloppy and arrives at 29,001 ft (though both are, of course, less precise than the person who comes up with 29,000.482712...).

The server side of pagination is really complex if you want to make sure all the results are returned exactly once. If that's your case, consider not paginating at all.

But very often, a result missing or duplicated in a few queries isn't a showstopper. On that case, pagination is very simple.
When looking at other large investment banks, I think he would have succeeded

Whether it was HSBC’s opium trading

Or JP Morgan Chase’s fraudulent securities offering for a water company that decided to operate as a bank

There are lots of examples of maneuvering towards legal legitimacy

It really just depends on where your ambitions lie and what consequences you are willing to risk.

(note: all those banks are now results of many mergers and hardly represent their oldest branches)
Yea this is super frustrating. Rarely the actual brand name product does not show up until like the second page if its something without a lot of reviews or popularity. And it does not seem like they allow any types of "advanced" search...
You could also look at the cheaper Arturia synth. I really like how they sound (though AFAIK a lot of people don't - maybe take a listen to some Demos on YouTube) and find them decently intuitive for a beginner.
The microbrute for example comes with a small patchbay (be careful of the modular rabbit hole though).
A cursory search suggests prices between 150 and 200€ (sorry, to lazy to do conversion since I'm on Mobile).
I only played with the Behringer clones a little at a friend's place. They sound totally fine, I think Arturia's build quality is way better, though. They have the benefit of being clones of popular (some may say famous) synth like the Moog Model D or the Roland 303, so they have a familiar sound.
No Bueno, but I believe Microsoft like other tech giants take people straight out of college, that are sociopaths by nature, hands them their first job, and 2 years later they are PMs with ZERO social skills/awareness.

In my country (Eastern Europe), by the time you get out of college/uni, you already have 5-6 years of professional experience
What I meant was that both professions are good examples of "slack-full" professions. They can still be considered to be doing their job well even if they're not actively fighting (either fires or the enemy). If they're consistently inactive they may get a reduction in numbers, but I've never seen anyone seriously suggest to abolish the fire brigades.
We're talking about two very different things.

Regardless of how schools teach, what they do is they teach skills. Skills are about how to do something in a certain way (including how to think about topics), and hence you have right or wrong answers that can be graded.

Whereas work is goal oriented, it is about solving a problem as opposed to how to solve a problem in a particular way. Hence, there are solutions which may be great practically, but doesn't teach you any useful skill. There are a lot of jobs that don't require any real problem solving. In fact, I would argue that's the majority of jobs.

Sometimes we need to be taught skills, and sometimes we need to be challenged with open-ended problems.
Probably it's there for sensationalist reasons. People like conspiracies and some small guys uncovering the evils of the behemoth is always a popular topic.

The article is likely a marketing effort, the website where the article is published sells software for switching resolution. I wouldn't read too much into it.
Something fun you can do with this is export the SVG files (File -> Save Pattern as SVG...) and edit them as necessary in order to use a die cutter like a cricut to easily make some cool stuff! Of course, doing it the old fashioned way is better in many ways.

I use a cutter tip and a foil transfer tip (a blunt metal pen-shaped tip) in combination. The cutter cuts, and the transfer tip helps establish crease marks.

It's not ideal because you can't easily establish creases for folds in both directions, but if you want you can use a template to align your paper on a mat so you can do a second pass with the paper flipped over to get creases going the opposite direction. I've found it's not really necessary unless the paper is thicker.
Luckily, Twitter has accessibility options which you can use to describe/transcribe images so that people with visual disabilities can enjoy your content too!

Not that anybody ever uses that feature.
> If I have a social media feed full of content, then I'll scroll through all of it until there's nothing else that's new.

I could never do that with Facebook as it is mostly all useless crap and ads
I'm not sure where to fall on this argument, but there are several studies showing that more education, quality of life and life expectancy lead to decreased fertility rates.
That's why I like this phone that can do those things, but I really have to be sure I want to do them.

It's surprising how often I actually don't, though. Rarely am I going anywhere I actually don't know how to go. Rarely do I actually need to take a photo of something (though to be fair, I've never really been into photography; this would be different for people who are). I prefer quiet to music (although again, admittedly, I know I'm not the norm here). And not being able to search the answer to any old thing whenever I want? Turns out I forget most of those things by the time I get to a computer, so I guess they weren't terribly important. I make more of a point of trying to learn things now.

I don't distract myself as much as I used to. I feel like I'm actually more present when I'm present because I don't have anywhere else to be.

YMMV, but there's no perfect solution. Everything has tradeoffs. You just have to choose which set you care about most.
> ...you don't want some three-letter agency come knocking at your door asking questions about your buyer or where their money came from...

That does not sound realistic for a normal-homeowner U.S. real estate sale. There are generally two Realtors and a title company as professional intermediates in the transaction. The seller may only know the buyer's name if the seller spends time reading routine paperwork - which those intermediates create and handle. Why would the XYZ agents visit the seller - when the buyer's Realtor, buyer's bank, and title company have so much more information, insight, and experience on the matter?
Seems like they pull a stunt like this every year.
Usual strategy is to use a macro assembler and lots of macros to build up some civilized things like stacks and subroutines. But there are also several high level (ish) languages that have compilers to BF.

I feel the same way towards all the foundational CS courses that I already took: The knowledge I got from them is extremely valuable and dare I say even mandatory for anyone pursuing a career in SE. However, the advanced M.Sc. courses are a lot about acrobatics which I will forget 95% of right away anyway ... that's the major reason for my uncertainty.
This brings back fond memories. The wiki page does have a few inaccuracies. Here is a more detailed article from Alan himself:

https://onezero.medium.com/my-one-phrase-resum%C3%A9-98776ef...

(Try an incognito window if Medium blocks you.)

That article has a few inaccuracies too, but as the events were over 30 years ago, this can be forgiven.

Read Alan's article and then come back for this followup.

Alan mentioned the "gizmos". He actually originally called them "waldos", named after these:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_manipulator

I couldn't make sense of that name, so I suggested "gizmo", which seemed fun and more descriptive. That name stuck - for a while. Microsoft later renamed them to "controls". How boring!

I also developed the "gizmo interface", which Microsoft renamed to VBX. (They were really not into fun names at the time.)

It has sometimes been said that Bill Gates was the one who insisted that VB have an extension interface like this. The truth is more subtle. We had the gizmo interface all along. It was obvious that we would need it for our own gizmos, and that we should allow other developers to build their own gizmos.

Apparently, the Microsoft team that turned Ruby+Basic into VB was going to keep the gizmo interface private and only let Microsoft developers use it, at least at first to save time on the schedule. Bill quite rightly saw the power of exposing the interface to outside developers and decided to make it part of the product - just as we had planned all along.

And I built the "event arrows" that Alan mentioned. He originally called an event a "flimsy" (a British term for "lightweight paper used especially for multiple copies"). I couldn't make sense of that name either, so we kicked it around and settled on "event".

This left a problem of what to name the act of sending an event from one gizmo to another. I was familiar with the term "trigger" from SQL, but that didn't seem quite right, and we were into fun names. But I couldn't think of one!

At the time, when I got frustrated with a coding or naming problem, I had a habit of firing rubber bands at my IBM Monochrome Display to shake up my thinking. (Don't try this with a modern flat panel.)

That didn't give me any ideas.

So I decided to fire up a doobie and see if that would help.

As I flicked my lighter and looked at the fire, it all came together:

Fire a rubber band. Fire up a doobie. Fire an event!

AMA, and I will see if I can remember...
It’s fair to ask I guess. But thats just gonna be another form of disappointment for them…
So I can reply to that kind of question
For a cross-platform VB-like (though closer to VB3 than VB6) tool there's vTcl [0].

I think you're in that category of people whose discipline I envy/admire! Half measures are so much better at mitigating the downsides of any tradeoff. I totally recommend them for anyone who can use them and make them work!
I mean, I guess? I would feel a bit more sympathetic if it were a very small company, and very young. But while Plaid is small relative to Stripe, it's a _9 year old company_ that's worth 10-13 _billion_ dollars. If you're seriously that affected by other companies in the space launching competitor products... in the _9_ years of your company's existence, in a market evidently lucrative enough to net you a several billion dollar valuation... I'm not sure what to say.
Folktales around the world are only partly to be enjoyed, being also thrilling, emotionally-stirring (and thus more memorable) stories to help people of all ages make healthier decisions.
It’s all fine mate and I am not telling anyone what to do I am telling someone that he uses a feature in a way it was not intended. So if he needs an accessibility feature like HiDPI he should ask for it instead of basing his workflow on something that can go away in a whim because it was a workaround in the first place.

If u want to maximise revenue, wouldn’t it make sense to measure the revenue coming from those button clicks as well as the button clicks? Perhaps that would be more precise.
Fair point. He didn't need to deliberately generate the conflict. But he sure seems to be enjoying it. Instead of maybe moving on, or using the experience to build connections and strengthen relationships with the people he interacted with. Sounds like plenty of apologies have been sent his way. But accepting them isn't as much fun as yelling and throwing rocks. Also, temper tantrums get more attention.
I also think it's a great rule, and I don't really even follow hockey nowadays.

Some people would probably say it's too random, has no place in serious top-level sports, or something. But to me it creates awesomely human moments, not to mention that the entire idea of having someone ready to step in for either team in an emergency just screams good sportsman spirit.
Most systems are legitimate for 99.9% of the cases.

And then there are exceptions. Yes, Assange is just special, special rules apply.

If you're going to deny that, I guess, as GP says, enjoy the bliss till it lasts.
I still find this to be rather passive aggressive. Sharing an 'internal' doc immediately...Why not call a public statement?

Mention Zach deleted his tweet, but not mention what he actually said: "Deleted tweet. Misunderstanding or different styles perhaps. Presuming positive intent."

All so underhanded

Intersectionality at play here, your son is part of the "oppressor" class and is essentially viewed as beneficiary of privilege by virtue of his melanin content, therefore he is not allowed to say, do or question certain things. It's a sad state of affairs.

FYI I'm an immigrant from Africa with 3 daughters but I've instilled in them the values I was raised with, that everyone is deserving of respect, dignity and are precious in the eyes of God.
No one forced you to sell, you were offered a price and freely chose to take it.
Faecal transplants that happen during birth are one mechanism that the body uses to pass down healthy bacteria to the next generation.

People born with C-section before this was known have higher rates of various digestive diseases. At leading hospitals, faecal transplants are done to c-section babies.
Who is most people agree? There’s not a large sample size as you said. Left wing sites don’t have the same billionaire funding strategy as many major right wing sites including Breitbart. Breitbart doing lower effort grifting half the time is the opposite of Jacobin at the very least being clear the people running it are doing it with passion and their actual belief.
it was really just two garbled dots

Maybe I’m nitpicking since it’s OSS, but sometimes it’s not even the code. From the outside it seems like a few lines of code but internally there’s a whole org and OKRs and what not.
Yeesh, I'm glad he didn't say that. What a vapid soundbite. I don't mean that to reflect on you, you worded it exactly as a CEO would. "We welcome competition", what a joke!
Absolutely, you can bid lower if you add "cash in your account tomorrow". People are risk adverse, they want a solid offer that closes immediately.
Not just seamless, I want it to use rust libraries natively and basically be rust under the hood. Think coffeescript but for rust. The problem with most people's suggestions will be that it deviates too far from rust (giant VMs) and a new language would need a duplicate ecosystem.
Perhaps they should join the Union. I'm sure they'd qualify after some changes.
The metal frame must be the key. I have an Osprey backpack without it, and the mesh alone does almost nothing to help with sweat, even though it was sold to me as being better. A friend in high school found an old Vietnam-era? US army rucksack with a metal frame that was less comfortable in the short term but not bad in the long, sweaty term.
But isn't stagflation defined as high unemployment + high inflation? Whereas now we have low unemployment -- to the point of labor shortages -- and high inflation, i.e. an economy that is not in a recession.

In other words, we have an economy running too hot, and raising interest rates will slow that (by how much is another question...)
I don't know why this comment feels like a punch in the face... I have severe ADHD, it's been getting worse and only medication helps, and I cannot get it.

I have failed my whole life, I cannot start shit, I cannot finish anything, I'm just an impulsive monkey who is unfortunately aware of their own situation, stuck inside a body, forced to watch a deadly trainwreck in slow motion.

The little I've achieved has taken me 10x as much time as it would've a normal person. And I'm pissing it all away anyway.

This is hell.

And then I see "everyone in my life is ADHD lolkek" "I'm happy".

Sorry. Glad your case is mild enough.
I definitely recall feeling my head warm up after intense exams and (non-physical) competitions...

A CEO like Steve Jobs would have sought to destroy them and wouldn't have been afraid to openly snub them. Sometimes you go for the jugular
