Not true... it is much easier for an American to move to Canada (and vice verse) due to the TN Visa. Essentially no process or redtape, all you need is an job offer in one of the qualifying professions (Software Engineering is one of them) and an American can literally present that to immigration 2 hours before their flight at the airport and get a visa stamped on their passport.
Damn! They managed to update the graphics while keeping the "feel" of the original game, that's quite an impresive feat.
"Data stored in memory outside the Java runtime is referred to as off-heap data. (The heap is where Java objects live — on-heap data — and where garbage collectors do their work.) Accessing off-heap data is critical for the performance of popular Java libraries such as Tensorflow, Ignite, Lucene, and Netty, primarily because it lets them avoid the cost and unpredictability associated with garbage collection. It also allows data structures to be serialized and deserialized by mapping files into memory via, e.g., mmap. However, the Java Platform does not provide a satisfactory solution for accessing off-heap data."
Ironically, Plato's Socrates rarely ever actually arrives at what he considers truth, most dialogues just end at an impasse. This is arguably why they're still so readable. They're more about teaching you how to think and question what you know than proselytizing some particular doctrine.
I know and I wasn't contradicting you. I was saying that despite EU salaries being lower than Indian ones for the FAANGS, they might still prefer to expand in India and not the EU due to the EU's higher taxes, higher privacy and higher workers' rights.

> There are abundant resources all around us that we simply need to learn how to effectively utilise. This is not sci-fi stuff, these are "merely" engineering problems.

I think the "we simply" is the least simple part of it all. We act as if everything is just a matter of time and engineering, but nothing assures that, and even if it does we're still running against time. This isn't a CIV game, we don't know if these hypothetical saving techs will ever exists.

It's pretty much all sci fi for now, and without intent it will still be sci fi. There is no law of the universe that guarantees what we call "progress" actually makes us move towards a better future. You can call it "tech progress", "engineering progress", "discoveries", the wording doesn't matter. Lead paint was progress, freon was progress, gas powered vehicles was progress, &c. Anything that's new is called progress and only decades later we can really assess what was beneficial or not. (cue electric personal vehicles)

In French we have an idiom: "fuite en avant"; "Not facing one's problems, running away from one's problems without solving them, or continuing a problematic action without considering its future consequences" and I feel like it can be applied to tech very easily, especially when the main technocrats argument is "we'll do more of X, Y, Z and eventually we'll find a solution"
> creating a &'static in some initialization code that lives for the rest of the program is a rather common use case

To be honest, I don't think their engineering is necessarily shoddy. Their EV tech was top of the line and is still in the high quality segment despite competitors catching up. Their batteries are quite safe, as far as giant lithium containers can be, and the accident where a Tesla accelerated into a concrete wall without bursting into flames underlines that in my opinion.

The problem with Tesla is basically everything except the car part. Self-driving is overpromised and underdelivered. UI and UX is designed by madmen who think touch controls are acceptable for important driving related functionality. Their steering wheel is not even always a wheel. The fit and finish of their cars is basically a lottery; your body panels may or may not all fit well together.

I think this is why Tesla is doomed to eventually fail. Competitors are catching up quickly and they don't have the terrible Tesla factor when it comes to product finish. The only thing that sets Tesla apart from other luxury brands is their weird proprietary charger, their promises of self driving and their brand image. It's a shame, really, because the engineering on what makes the car move seems to be outstanding.
I mean, it is actually a leak, that's exactly why you're doing it.

This document says you should not because, by their definition, that's not "secure Rust development".
In my experience London tech wages are not specially high unless they are linked to finance. IMHO Switzerland salaries are the highest in EU (although cost of living there is very high).
I don't get it. Was this deal some kind of drunken bar bet? I said before that Musk wouldn't buy Twitter. Having glanced at the finance documents, he seemed to have financed a long-term investment with a lot of short-term loans (I'm thinking especially of the bridging loan and using Tesla shares as margin). Terrible idea!

Then there's the matter of the $1b "exit fee". And even if he wrangles out of that, I'm sure his financiers would have charged a pretty penny just to put the finances in place.

I can only assume that Twitter agreed to being acquired knowing full well that Musk will walk away with egg on his face.
Good luck.
Car manufacturers are dying to become service providers and shift buying revenue into recurring revenue. On top of that, a car that's mostly like a smartphone in terms of how you activate and think about its features is incredibly attractive for the carmakers. They dream to be able to set car prices based on unlock-able features, basically what Apple has achieved with M1 on Macs (with the difference that in this case it makes a lot of sense from a user perspective too).
You can't provide services or set prices this way if the car isn't "smart".

I think the answer is in the name: "social" media.

"Awesome", i.e. more enjoyable for you, and "more correct", i.e. fewer bugs in production, are two very different things. I also prefer typed languages for the software I tend to write and find them more enjoyable, but that still doesn't make me claim that types lead to more correct software.

So these are just American prototype flying machines. And, they did a Moore's Law on the Casimir Effect. They might actually have some good machines, I don't know. So they have to keep this shit secret though there have to be secrets, but basically these are American machines that they really really want to keep secret. But I buy the patents the Navy issued recently.

That's why there's all the shaming of conspiracy theorists and guys, which includes top brass in Iran swearing under oath of all people, guess conspiracy theorists are welcome in Iran. At any rate, conspiracy theorists don't let those in power get away with ANYTHING, can't do shit. Can't fluoridate the water can't use 5G can't traffic OxyContin or Adhansia as heroin and cocaine monopolies for the Sacklers, no Tuskegee experiments, no giving LSD to prisoners, no satanic cults, no CIA island in the Caribbean producing compromat with children, nothing nothing NOTHING IT SUCKS.[1]

At one point Einstein produced a torpedo for Navy, it was amazing, and they refused to make it because they considered it impossible to keep secret. That, together with the development of the computer and atom bomb in WWII, led to the development of a secrecy apparatus that could keep such a torpedo secret.

[1] I should clarify this is not just about the people in power because they are elected for leadership. Lots of unelected powerful people, some powerful people who do things in other ways, and then you have powerful people who are virtuous, whom evil powerful people themselves accuse of conspiracies.
> In this case you probably shouldn't pull it out into it's own thing because it's so specific (and weird) that you'll want it nearby it's use case (and not available for developers to accidentally use for the non Shakespeare uses).

I guess it depends on how much this weird Shakespearean to_lower is used around the codebase.

If there is one spot where it's used, I would probably factor out to_lower and add a special case check for "bob" in the business logic code (outside the scope of to_lower).

If the Shakespearean to_lower gets used in various places it actually might make sense to be factored into its own function.

> The other genders are faddish nonsense.

Gender is a touchy subject. While there is a lot of room for disagreement, it is hard to deny that some people are born in a way that does not fall neatly into the traditional male and female categories. It's dismissive to talk about it as faddish nonsense. It does not help people to understand the world around us better. Instead, it reinforces simplistic thinking about a complicated world.

“… this household each adult can consume goods and services worth … US dollars each month. “

This is not an intuitive measure.

“We guesstimated this amount based on the assets the family owned and the incomes they reported.”

So owning a ridiculously expensive espresso machine is supposed to be a measure of the quality of food produced in a kitchen? No.

I have an electric steamer and rice cooker which I use a lot, and the quality of my food is excellent.

I understand a measure of nutrition is too far to be expect. But relevant to kitchen technology are CO2 production, energy efficiency. And these measures don’t need to be so granular. A multi-factor analysis on binary scale would be more informative and thoughtful than saying the dirt kitchen is $40/mo and Manhattan Penthouse kitchen is $7k/mo, and some other kitchen in India is 4K/mo?? Nonsense.

The "kitchen triangle" seems to be an important thing to keep in mind when (re)designing kitchen layouts:

> Developed in the early twentieth century, the working triangle—also known as "the kitchen triangle," also known as "the golden triangle"—is a theory that states a kitchen’s three main work areas should form, you guessed it, a triangle. Specifically, the sink, the refrigerator, and the stove.

* https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/kitchen-triangle-b...

The total summed distance between those three appliances should (ideally) be in the range of 13-26 feet (4-8m); each side/edge of the triangle should ideally be in the 4-9 foot (1.5-3m) range.

Then each of the sink, the refrigerator, and stove should have have a certain minimum counter space around it:

Appeal to authority is ultimately based on power or position.

Expertise is not authority. It does rely on trust. And it isn't a blanket certification --- just because someone is an expert does not mean that they are never wrong (and I've indicated elsewhere in this thread some areas in which I disagree). However it does suggest that a casual dismissal based on lack of qualification, as was the case in this specific thread, wants for evidence itself.

That is, the value of expertise (root word, experience) is a deep familiarity, knowledge, understanding, and trustworthiness in a specific field. One trusts an expert computer programmer, an expert doctor, an expert engineer, an expert pilot, an expert lawyer.

Or, in this, case, an expert environmental scientist.

I'd mentioned his credentials not as a blanket dismissal of some specific argument against the piece, or an element of it, but that the piece as a whole is "pointless". Smil's experience, knowledge, understanding, and track record strongly suggest otherwise.

ToF + RSSI combination on keys is still to be beaten with good protocol.
I say with good protocol since "ghost peak" vulnerability is really a protocol issue, but keys don't fall under CCC, and have proprietary ones.
This reads as mostly noise, which is what I would expect from a Project Veritas "bombshell". I imagine the Mail was the highest profile outlet that would publish this, given the single source who clearly brings his own bias to this issue.

"Twitter wants to censor bullying and harassment and the idea of free speech is that you can bully and harass people. Twitter does not believe in this value as a platform. Because it's not conducive to a business."

Show me the major social networks for which this isn't true.

The quotes on bias offer no new information other than "yeah this totally happens".

And the PTO thing is nothing. People have unlimited time off? Hardly without precedent. People taking "months" off? Would not be surprised if this guy just heard about this through the grapevine and most examples are just parental leave or sabbaticals.

The bottom line is this is a single person that Project Veritas (as always) is trying to turn into a whistleblower, which is not really how it works. Any journalist worth their salt would be chasing down other sources to confirm this instead of taking one guy out for drinks a few times.
If you like this idea, but prefer something more self-contained, Tiddlywiki is an excellent option, as it runs in-browser from a single HTML file. Its core approach is to treat notes as a queryable database, and its markup supports dynamic content based on queries of that DB. Because its UI is constructed from the same DB, the same techniques that allow you to construct a dynamic view from the DB also allow you to construct custom UIs for that view, including changing properties/attributes of items in the DB.

That's all pretty abstract. A simple example: it allows you to construct a tabbed view of several todo lists based on tags and fields and adjust priority and status from that single UI.

It's been available for many years, but has never been trendy, despite its unique design and strengths. I recommend giving it a spin!
Eh, not really. I know plenty of people first and secondhand who are happy to describe their own participation in or creation of, effectively, scams. Arguably one could call them casino games at best. The dynamics of a speculation-ridden and mostly non-regulated industry makes such moves compelling and easy to rationalize.

I too thought there were some interesting “real” things that must be going on somewhere, and surely there are. I figured if there’s one place to find it — or one place it must be found for the sake of the system — it’d be the stablecoins. Then you read into e.g. Tether and realize not only is that a scam, but it’s a transparently obvious one.

Again, very bad look for the entire sector.

> Which wasn't AWS Support's fault. They looked into the resource on the ticket. Again, AWS Support doesn't know your workload and isn't going to go on a fishing expedition to guess which DB might be the issue.

No, they won't. I mean, definitely, two hours is not enough time to do anything except say "but it didn't reboot".

> Timelines and RCAs have to go through the service team. Up to, and including, the service GM at times. It can be frustrating to wait for an RCA, but sometimes the things just take time.

If essential information isn't present in the event log, or in any way accessible to the customer, and especially given how trivial the info was (we got back literally four bullet points two timestamps), almost 3 weeks is a disgrace.

> I'd encourage you to open a chat or phone for a business critical issue. That way Support doesn't spend an hour and a half trying to troubleshoot the wrong resource. Those errors can quickly be found and remediated on a call.

The colleague who made the ticket put a phone number to get a callback in the ticket. They didn't call. We were actively trying to fix the issues we had, caused by the weird design by the Aurora failover system, not sit in a queue for an hour (yes, we had that too, business critical system down tickets where we spent >45 minutes waiting for a support rep).

On another note, this is why I hate AWS support. It's literally a game of who can blame the customer or avoid fixing issues better. RDS export doesn't handle large databases? Don't make large exports. The UI breaks when you have large exports? Don't use the UI. Errors on an RDS instance when you spin up a second read replica? You ran out of capacity! And that's not saying anything of being ping ponged between teams for technical guidance tickets or having to fight support staff when trying to explain my problem. More than 1 hour spent in the loop of "but it works for me" "I don't care, it doesn't work for me", or outright false statements (even from engineers, not only support staff) that they have to carefully walk back when we actually try things out.

I've not seen this 'customer obsession', ever. And I'd understand that if we were on developer plan or something, but we're not.
Checked the reviews for this particular one, no one is mentioning fire. If you search for Apple charger caught fire you will find some, can happen to any electronic device.

I have three of them plugged in 24/7 for 3 years now and recommended them to others, all houses still standing. But you can also get the original 96 W charger from Apple, it's bigger so it can dissipate heat better than the smaller ones.
It seems as though the problem is primarily fear and/or aversion. The mind is kind of like a cavern of echoes, and you can choose to add power to, or dampen, the echoes. Are you able to think of something that will bring up a wholesome feeling, like kindness toward an animal, or a baby, or gratitude toward a mentor? If so, you can use it to dampen the fear pattern.

When the fear pattern arises again, realize as quickly as possible that it has come back. Stop it, i.e., do not walk down a road in imagination related to the fears, imagining painful outcomes or whatever. In other words, gently stop the thought and drop it. Relax tension in the body, especially in the head. Smile. And bring up the wholesome feeling, however is appropriate for you. This dampens the fear echo. Each time you do these steps, you are taking energy away from this habit of your brain. Every time you do it correctly, you're taking a step toward not being bothered by this concern.

This technique will work, but please just try it and try to do it diligently, giving it provisional belief. In the meantime, try to do your assignments, watching for your fear to decrease.

If you look at the net immigration flow between Canada and the US, the trend is pretty clear.

US immigrants of Canadian origin (2019): 11,900 [1]

Canadian immigrants of US origin (2019): 10,800 [2]

Of course, with 8.7x the population of Canada, you'd expect the net neutral number to 1:8.7 (Canada to US), but it's actually 1:1. So ~9x more Canadians per capita immigrate to the US than reverse.
