The CDC unilaterally ruled this country for the better part of 2 years. No checks. No balances. Now you could argue that the desperation of the situation calls for something more expedient than Democracy. But many people who supported the moves made by the CDC (including me) were equally horrified that it had as much power to do so.
I just did the bare minimum and set something other than the original Zelda as the default quest.

This is literally my dream project I never had the time (or honestly technological expertise) to build...

I have some other very opinionated ideas on a couple other layers to this problem that I hope to try to investigate in the next 12 months or so
It's Java/Swing--same stack as IntelliJ. Though the IDE-like parts (window system etc.) are from the NetBeans IDE, which has a very good application development platform. Also a shoutout to Karl Tauber's excellent FlatLAF library ( https://www.formdev.com/flatlaf ).

I find them helpful sometimes if they are diagrams given a domain context. Not just the whole DB and all its relationships. Mostly if the relationships are simple, and the naming is reasonable, it is mostly discoverable.
I was surprised to learn he wears Teva sandals for walking that much, but it makes sense with a little thought. My most comfortable walking shoes are very comfortable on the sides which means no excess pressure. Those Tevas are not restrictive on the sides.
Tor's exit relays, like all non-bridge relays, are listed publicly [0] (by necessity, that's how the client chooses a circuit). You can see in the screenshot of whatever you're using to monitor by GeoIP that Tor traffic already gets counted separately. Of the request counts visible, it's making up at most ~6% of them, which makes sense -- Tor is a pretty poor platform to launch a DDoS from, since the relays are already decently saturated, and you're eating the cost from the circuit building (negligible in the normal web browsing case, but quickly adds up when you're trying to create as many TCP streams as you can).

> But smoking? Do we really need to study it? It isn't even a disease.

Addiction is considered a disease by physicians, psychiatrists, and medical researchers[1].

> I feel like that should be the last time the government ever brings it up or spends another dollar worrying about it.

The CDC publishes research on things like:

- second-hand smoke

- preventing your children from starting to smoke

- the costs to society -- not just the smoker

- pros/cons of taxing tobacco in different ways

Because of government-funded research, smoking is banned in a lot of places that I don't have a choice of avoiding, such as airports, government offices, and grocery stores.

The government's research is to protect non-smokers from corporations that are trying to trick them into an addiction and also from smokers who fill shared air with carcinogens.

And that's not even getting into the cost to society of someone dying early. They leave behind medical debts that increase all of our costs, and they potentially leave behind family members who need care.

I totally hear you - this seems SUPER SHADY. But I think the truth is it's really not. These data brokers are totally legit - legally. And also pretty common. Cell companies cell this stuff all the time to just about anybody. They're not loud about it, and people frequently freak out when they realize it. But this stuff happens ALL THE TIME.

I also have heard that this has been a common technique amongst academic epidemiologists during the pandemic. Because it's actually all above board, and super useful.

Still sounds SUPER F*NG CREEPY. But it's commonplace.
Well yeah, it's not meant to be radical it's meant to make money. The actual "art" part is of secondary importance.
I frequently edit CSVs by hand. As long as you understand your data, and stakes are low (e.g. it's a one off analysis not prod code) it's pretty easy and convenient.

In the printing world inkjet printers for industrial use use a file format that is all RS, GS, US, and FS characters. It had no line breaks instead it used a RS character at the beginning of a record. It would routinely break if people tried to open in a text editor. Nothing wants to deal a 300mb file consisting of a single line. Ended up writing my own library to manipulate the files and used a lot of tr, see, and awk in the command line. It was a pain only because modern editors have forgotten control codes

Unicode just needs a single special delimiter character that is only used as a delimiter.
I'd argue that what you are doing is treadmilling, not walking. Maybe an analogous activity but different in some important ways too.

Whenever we visited Germany in the 80s we pretty much took orders. We brought a lot of levis and cartons of cigarettes. And athletic socks for some reason.
Had something like this running before, with an extra tunnel to a VPS, so when I was connecting to this VPS on a specific port, it was eventually connecting to my home VPN - useful with dynamic IPs.

I can't remember the tool I used for the tunnel. SSH was quite slow and I remember using something else at the TCP level. Any idea? Bonus for any solution that works with UDP.
First thing that I do when starting a project is lay out the database. Before software was available I'd use a marker board, it helps to see everything laid out graphically. I literally cannot imagine doing it any other way. Recently I've been using MySQL Workbench but I've previously used Microsoft Access. I'd often wondered why no one had offered it as a SaaS product.
Careful, you're tipping your hand.
Just as an aside, the longest serving employee at any of the Big Tech companies has to be Chris Espinosa. He started working at Apple in 1976. The only current Big Tech company that is as old as Apple is Microsoft and their longest serving employees started in the 80s.

Larry Ellison comes close. He founded Oracle in 1977 and he is still the CEO.

Same here. I've been slowly getting rid of old React components on both SaaSHub & LibHunt. It's much easier to go forward and maintain your code when there's less JS complexity. For the curious ones - these are both Ruby on Rails based projects.
I am both aware of those circumstances, and considered them. At the end of the day, Saratoga was won by hoards of soldiers largely anonymous to history, and yet they didn't betray their country for lack of credit. On the balance, Arnold's motives appear self-serving, and his willingness to betray his allegiance for a seemingly better deal made him a traitor.
In Java, it defaults to 1MB on platforms other than Windows.

I've seen people OOM themselves by setting the default thread stack size massively high - they had likely gotten confused with the args (they'd used -Xss when I think they meant -Xms) and given their threads 1GiB of stack each.

I can't speak to how Java manages stack size between itself and the OS though, I'm sure there's deep magic there.

You're on a message board dedicated to tech and you don't believe in the scientific method? GTFO.
Very rough guesstimates:

200000 * 200 * 2 = 80M tris/sec

200000 * 200 * 32x32px = 40 gpix/sec (if no occlusion culling)

Neither of those numbers are particularly huge for modern GPUs.

I'd wager that a compute shader + mesh shader based version of this could hit 2M sprites at 200 fps, though at some point we'd have to argue about what counts as "cheating" - if I do a clustered occlusion query that results in my pipeline discarding an invisible batch of 128 sprites, does that still count as "rendering" them?

Graalvm takes some special effort to get things building natively and the binaries are far larger, so I'm going to go with "yeah".

And I'm hardly a fan of Go.
When the customer wants csv, it's because they will open it on Excel, so anything about standardization or data quality is moot. They will have their data mangled in an application specific format.

You need to export to csv. But that doesn't mean you can't use an actually usable format for anything else.
> Walter broke his own record set in 2019 with 81 years and 85 days.

So not exactly news... still impressive, and some quotes worth considering:

> Walter believes that the best part about having a job is that it gives you a sense of purpose, commitment and a routine.

> He comments that the best professional advice he can give is to try to work for a good company and in an area where you feel motivated.

> "I don’t do much planning, nor care much about tomorrow. All I care about is that tomorrow will be another day in which I will wake up, get up, exercise and go to work; you need to get busy with the present, not the past or the future. Here and now is what counts. So, let’s go to work!"

Wildcard Proxy for Everyone
Either way, shouldn't be a big deal. It's a job not a marriage, there are no "till death do us part" vows which people still break because they "grew apart" or whatever. An unhappy employee staying only for loyalty harms both the employee and the employer and no one can be expected to know where they will be in life and as a person more than a few years into the future.
His answer to “Where do you see yourself in ten years?” really showed his lack of engagement.
Yes, the app store version hasn't been updated in a long time but if you build from source it will run on Catalina. Maybe later too, I haven't tried it.
Precisely. The group that is willing to illegally order you to do things they have no right to order is also tracking you. But no biggie.
Not disagreeing with your original comment, but my guess is the justices phrased what they said during confirmations in such a way that they would still agree with it now.

"It is settled as a precedent of the Supreme Court, entitled the respect under principles of stare decisis" - I'm no expert, but according to Wikipedia: "A court may overturn its own precedent, but should do so only if a strong reason exists to do so, and even in that case, should be guided by principles from superior, lateral, and inferior courts."

So I suspect they said "settled as a precedent" knowing that settled and reaffirmed precedents have the possibility of being overturned while still following "principles of stare decisis".
Gish galloping at its finest
Some of it is just maintaining physical awareness of how you are walking (which it sounds like you're already somewhat doing).

But one actual tip I would give is to lead with your chest when you walk. Oh, and let your arms swing freely, with your hands facing your legs (not turned backwards) and try to place your feet down pointing directly forwards, not having one foot turned outwards, as I often see.
The fact that I haven't heard more about this Heroku breach makes me think that maybe fewer startups than I thought are actually using it.

I'm at a startup that's been on Heroku since its inception and this breach has got my team thinking about moving to AWS for the first time, even if our scale doesn't necessarily demand it yet.

Does anyone that has done this transition in the past have any advice?
It’s weird, but I urge everyone to give it a chance, lol.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to Go's stdlib evolving useful collections now that generics exist.

Like maybe a set. That isn't a map[T]interface{} and can do things like unions and intersections so I don't have to implement it with for loops.

20? years ago OMRON D2F was the switch to have. Sadly around 2010 OMRON moved all manufacturing to China (D2FC) and quality went down from mice surviving 5-10 years down to max 2, then Chinese started counterfeiting D2F/D2FC and now you can get switches failing within one year.
The fact that someone could have a conversation publicly available, and reference the guidelines they are applying in partisan is baffling. I almost suspect satire. I would give yourself a second of self-reflection. You are the first and only violator of the guidelines:

You: “this is a lazy comment - I believe it was in conjunction with another new york artist who's studio is in the same building - Tom Sachs - he's an installation artist - and the brick was $30 - not accounting for taste huh- never the less - your point is extremely poorly made -“

The guidelines: Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community

You: "looking at your history of comments- you might consider acquainting yourself with the guidelines”

The guidelines: Eschew flamebait. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents.

You: “good thing I was here to remind you before you get in trouble for intellectual dishonestly”

The guidelines: Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

So what? They may be coming from a politicized angle, and probably only passing facts that support their case, but at least they are facts, and not misinformation, like graphene in vaccines or whatever. Everyone is coming from some bias and angle, so don't judge on that. Judge on the veracity of the statements. Do you have anything to say about the actual statements?

Most everything that is wrong with modern discourse is due to ad hominem and labeling rather than discussion of facts.
We're also starting to look into this. We're already spending more than we need to, but depending on what this breach turns out to be, we very well may need to move to AWS to keep our enterprise customers happy.

Bruce was logistics.

I print articles/pages to PDF all the time to read them on my e-ink. They come out readable about 30% of the time thanks to multiple layers of banners and popups on the average site these days. It's annoying that even (and especially!) Medium/Wordpress etc can't be bothered to exclude them from @media print. I usually end up editing the site via devtools before printing, but that's not always an option (eg. in third party mobile apps for pdf export).

Make your websites printable, darnit. It's very little effort to get 90% there.

I would reverse this advice. See if you're fine with doing frequent walks before getting a (high energy) dog. Too many ppl get dogs and then don't properly walk them.

Funny writing from Scott, as usual, but my main takeaway from this was that I'm glad to live in New York, and not the Bay Area.

The events I go to here are attended by people from all different industries and walks of life. Putting too many tech-adjacent people in a room together has never made for great parties, in my experience.
I hugely prefer this for a lot of stuff and wish it could happen more often, sadly when tried usually people just don't end up contributing unless you trap then in a room (real or virtual).

Keep in mind that in the last couple years I've seen a lot of public Wifi (e.g. coffee shop, business guest network) blocking common dynamic dns domains like those from Afraid, Duckdns, etc. They also block most UDP and TCP ports unrelated to web browsing.

The only VPN connection I've seen that works everywhere is one on TCP 443, with a domain name that you control. Maybe have a UDP VPN instance on another port for performance but always have the TCP 443 instance avaliable as backup so you won't get blocked out. Personally I use OpenVPN on TCP 443 and have never had issues.
In the context of this thread–a decent file format for tabular data–SQLite's type system peculiarities are irrelevant.
The DBT (DBase III) format was common in the 80s and 90s. It is a typed, fixed-width format that was directly supported by Excel, Visual Basic grid widgets, among many other tools.
For example, Norton Commander supported it directly, letting you preview database tables without loading another program.
You didn't answer the question. If the bureaucrat wants this info, he'll get it through a third or fourth or X-th party. The root problem is that this data exists at all. Of course, if it didn't, half the posters here would be out of a job.
