I love driving my 22 Bolt but the battery is software capped at 80% capacity as a temporary fix and they cannot tell when I’ll get a new battery. So I’d say get a Nissan Leaf and avoid Bolt until GM gets their shit together.
Is the celebration of impunity embodied in American action movies not popular around the world?

Lots of movies made outside the US seem to have similar themes (But I guess I haven't watched that many; a recent one is The Raid).
Yeah, for sure. Doggerland would be top of my list too.
iNaturalist as a Pokémon Go style game.

- take photos of animals/plants/fungi, upload them to iNaturalist, and submit a correct identification in order to "capture" them.

- the initial CP of your "captured pet" is determined by the most granular, correct identification you can make before other iNaturalists chimed in.

- synergies for collecting "pets" within the same taxon group or with known mutualistic symbiosis

- virtual battles between "pets", with special relative strengths/weaknesses depending on some kind of "domain" of the pets.

We have been profitable for the past 18 months or so.
I just sat my laptop on the counter and fact checked what they told me in real time, told them what I’d pay, and got a stellar deal.
Yeah, but (pardon my French) who the fuck cares? Straight-A valedictorian reporting in. I’d’ve advised middle school me that this (a punch to the nose) couldn’t be a worse resolution.

With crap middle school administration, the bullied are ending up in detention (or worse) while the provocateurs are getting away without repercussion.
Good reflex, but nope! I don't write Java anymore and possibly never will again. I think the point stands on it's own, regardless of language.

This is basically why I don't like Java -- it's so uncomfortable that it puts people off of types for the rest of their lives.

Languages with good, ergonomic type systems are out there, that don't have the needless ceremony and expended effort of Java and people pass over them at their own peril.

The wider trend is also coming back to statically checked types -- Python's typing module, Ruby's Sorbet, the ever growing popularity of Typescript, etc.
Hey @dmead! Yeah, I would consider adding support for regex/advanced filtering options if there was enough demand for it. For now, I’d recommend either separate searches or performing a search, the doing ctrl/cmd+f to search within the matches on the page.

Thanks for checking it out!
I think there’s a reasonable non-chronic meaning to the word “health” as well.

Like in the way someone might “take a mental health day” off of work. Someone doesn’t have to be diagnosable to be in an unhealthy mindset.
Same here. His explanation left me feeling like I'm missing something that's at once extremely simple and extremely clever. It seems to involve the observation that reading more data than the tape actually contains will return a trailing section of random noise that will fail a checksum, but that's as far as I got.

(Edit: the author posted an answer to StackExchange here: https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/143/what-... . A single-byte checksum is appended to the tape image written by the firmware, and the software is presumably aware of what it should be. If you were to make a copy of the tape by writing too much data, the resulting checksum returned by the firmware would probably not match what the software expected. Maybe it's as simple as that?)

Another point worth making when it comes to the cassette port, is that every Apple ][ essentially came with a free 1200-bps half-duplex modem. All you had to do was "just" connect the cassette in/out ports to the phone line with simple audio amps. (ISTR using the hybrid network from an old Western Electric rotary phone to do the actual interfacing.)

I don't think I've ever run into anyone else who tried this, but it was an amusing thing to play with as a kid. I built two interfaces and gave one to a friend on the other side of town. It took less than a minute to send images of Suzy and Melissa from a warez copy of Artworx's Strip Poker, as I recall.
I wonder why the statement from Lucid conflicts with the math in the third paragraph.
ProtonDrive excites me the most. The only other user friendly end to end encrypted cloud storage provider is Tresorit, who are overpriced for consumers. Please note I don’t consider Boxcryptor in the same category as they just serve as an encrypting proxy between you and cloud storage.

I wish ProtonDrive would explain more about their data resilience, whether they maintain custodian keys or any ability to access customer data, how access works when traveling across borders, etc. otherwise iCloud Drive and Boxcryptor are a stronger choice.
It depends imho on the severance terms. If the company has decent ones then the message is "this hurts me and I did everything to cushion the blow for you" If the company has bad ones then the message is "let's make a hundred people losing their livelihoods about how a multimillionaire feels but isn't willing to give up any of those millions."
Based on your comments, it sounds like you might be in the market for a Homer by Powell Motors.
I think you have a great point, yet something that I haven't seen anyone talk about is scale. The scale of the schools in the United States is enormous. I hear about 2000,3000, 5000-student schools.

Some family's studied in the U.S., and even their middle school and elementary is 2000 students ! That's enormous, gigantic!

Here in Mexico schools are small-scale. Education here is much, much smaller scale. I think that the bigger the student population is at the campus, the bigger the chances are of failing at important problems such as bullying, since extreme standardization of these processes creates more problems than genuine solutions. Plus.
Short answer: greed. They didn’t want to give up any shares. To pay for the tax they owed between strike price and current market value, they should done a cashless transfer and sold off a portion to cover the taxes and then held the remaining for a year to get capital gains tax treatment. I think ultimately they didn’t think the party would end. I had some coworkers there who had sold stock when they could and were thought of as leaving money on the table because the stock can only go up. Those ended up being the smart ones. But hindsight is 20/20
Thanks @nop_slide! Glad you dig it! Thanks for trying it out! :)
Here’s a roadmap for policymakers that I think is steeped in evidence: https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/claireboine/files/policy.b...

There are 3 recommended policy changes in there.

you don't onboard efficiently which makes your new hires inefficient so you have to hire even more to compensate to just get the increase you wanted. This is just one factor in the raise of inefficiencies during a fast company growth.
> a public health approach by the American Thyroid Association and the Endocrine Society advocate U.S. women to take a supplement containing 150 µg iodine/day beginning preconception.

That paper was published in 2012. In 2014 (my wife's first pregnancy) no major pregnancy supplement included iodine, and my wife's doctor said it was unnecessary. The only supplement I could find without an outrageous amount of iodine while still being quasi-reputable was a Whole Foods-branded, 225mcg kelp-based pill. (Not USP or similarly certified, but I figured/hoped a large, brick & mortar retailer like Whole Foods would perform some vetting of their supplier and reliability of the product.) Circa 2015-2017 major pregnancy supplement makers, like Nature Made (USP certified, sold at Walgreens, hospitals, etc), quietly added iodine.

The problem with the older conventional wisdom is/was that eating habits have changed: 1) people began eating processed foods and restaurant foods (especially fast food), most of which do not used iodized salt; 2) home cooks, especially those following TV cooking shows, began using kosher salt, which is not iodized; and 3) the medical community was admonishing everybody to consume less salt, so people were less inclined to use table salt. These are also compounded by the fact that the most commonly eaten vegetables, e.g. soy and those from the Brassicaceae family (broccoli, kale, cabbage, etc), are goitrogenic.

Another major and far more important food supplement is niacin. Widespread supplementation of cereal grains began in the mid 20th century. More recently (1990s in the U.S.) folate was made a mandatory supplement in cereal grains. The difference between these and iodine is that packaged foods, most prepared foods (fast food, restaurants using normal supply chains, etc), and the most commonly used home ingredients still contain these supplements. Whereas outside of pregnancy (i.e. fetal development), inadequate iodine is still (arguably) a creeping problem for children. This is sort of similar to vitamin D--eating habits are changing (e.g. less milk consumption) and we need to find new routes for supplementation to reach people, especially groups most at risk.

On the plus side, in relative terms the iodine "problem" is relatively small and mostly only visible at large population scales. And despite the hype over its importance, I suspect the same is true for vitamin D deficiencies--not nearly as impactful to public health as niacin and folate. But if people keeping selling this idea of food supplementation as somehow adulterating, polluting, and contaminating food, these problems are only going to grow.
For every gun you ban, I will print 3.
Yes, there is loot drops and RPG style load out customisation for heroes in DoW2. I do think it is a rather unique combination.
Milk comes to mind, but yes.
Yes, it's a very bad thing. There are a lot of different types of social media. How about projects with Discourse forums? That could be considered social media. Do you want to force them onto Facebook?
This does look cool. They should get a beta out to select fans so it doesn't become yet another rpg
Not all credit cards are zero-fee, so if you chose to do this, make sure you choose one of those (or just close the card).
As long as parents can deny their children spending money, the blame for liquor stores marketing and selling to children can be assigned to the parents.

Hey @baxuz! Nice- I’m glad you like it! I hope it continues to come in handy.

Thanks for checking out my project!
False. Most, approximately 60% of the total, gun deaths in the United States are suicide.
With some dismay, I'll note that this appears to follow in the theme of the Texas abortion ban. The law doesn't empower the state to prosecute, it empowers citizens. This approach is nothing short of an end-run on the constitution, and if it isn't stopped, the potential consequences are terrifying.
I guess we've lost our sense of individual justice. Standing up for ourselves, making what's right on our mind even if it means consequences.
(Disclaimer: Rancher Desktop developer)

Rancher Desktop is fully Apache 2 licensed, so I think that shouldn't be an issue — even if it somehow ends up closed source at one point, at worst somebody can start a fork from the last public release and go from there.

Our release process for Windows & Linux literally involves pulling the build from GitHub, attaching signatures on top, and pushing the bits back up. (There's some QA in the middle, but that doesn't change the bits.) The only reason we don't do that for Mac is because we haven't sorted out the signing there using this flow.

Note that Docker Desktop wasn't open source (but the core Docker engine was), which is why they can start charging money for the binaries and not worry about somebody making a fork.

Having said that — feel free to continue using kubectl to do everything; whatever floats your boat is good :)
Hey, author here -- it is a bit odd and also possibly immature to be so harsh on MySQL apropos of nothing. That said, I intended more to be pro-Postgres rather than anti-MySQL (it's a great piece of software, other DBs and Postgres learn from it all the time, zheap[0] exists to replicate what they've built, for example).

I also have to admit that I definitely want postgres every time I see MySQL. Maybe I need to read more on just how easy and amazing MySQL can be. Links welcome!

Hey, so the guide to get the integration with SFDC does not work. Let me know your email and I am happy to drop some notes and screenshots. Seems like it has to do with access token mechanisms in the new sfdc lightning which breaks some of the last steps in the guide.
If it’s known it’s a single round, it’s easier for everyone remaining to not look around.

When a second round breaks that trust though, all bets are off.
is programming a bell curve though? seems more bimodal

Does the constitution define "the people" as something that necessarily belongs to and devolves to individuals?

Or for instance, does it mean that the federal government can't ban state organized militias?
He's a sales PM though. Is this not exactly what you want? Smooth talking will close deals. Good development doesn't need to happen at the customer site in a sales meeting.
Can you find numbers to refute it? It's more likely that the parent comment is true than the opposite.
That's a very jaundiced view of parents. The problem is that social media is ubiquitous and eventually kids will be introduced to it overwhelmingly. Unless your child is repressed and not allowed around other kids, etc it's going to be a part of their daily lives. If social media companies are predatory towards minors it'll continue to get worse. Parents are trying, believe me but it's a loosing battle.
I suspect identity politics are too blame, since the rise of that correlates to the increase in shootings. A big part of identity politics is to demonize "the other" and if we're being honest, to shift the blame for all of societal ills onto males. Younger males may not be able to shrug those pressures of as easily as others.

I think this also helps explain why girls never shoot up schools, despite having the same access to guns as boys. All of our safety nets are designed around helping females, and letting males sink or swim.
Sell them to who? Are there any secondary market sites still running. Otherwise, you're cold calling investors. I tried to sell my shares in a startup to cover my six figure tax bill and couldn't find a buyer even with the company's CFO helping me.
Good point. Do any popular hex editors have options to display hex values with the most-significant digit on the right? Or, alternately, to display memory right-to-left so that the lowest memory addresses are on the right side and the highest on the left?
Yes I would be willing to have mandated integrated breathalyzers in the cars to disable them when the driver is intoxicated.

Also cars are indeed banned for people who have not passed a driver's test.

On the other hand I can walk into a sporting goods store like Dick's and get a gun and a thousand bullets no questions asked.
Now you just added another USD100M to the cost of the mission ;)
I guess you joined the industry 2 weeks ago.
Multiplayer couch games you can play with your kids. More quantity. More variety. More background exposure to great ideas. eg Play in a van Gogh painting word or a Dali or Pollock. Play in the great buildings of history. With a Beethoven soundtrack. Or Louis Armstrong.

only rich democrats would be allowed to own guns - for evidence see how concealed carry permits are handed out in blue areas. The government is incapable of wielding that level of power without massive corruption.
Last time I was there it did. But now, I guess not :(.

I wont lie I was confused as to the purpose at first, but the more I think about this the more impressed I get. What wasn't clear at first glance was the port isn't fixed and it generates a "one-time" link. i.e. curling `https://tunnel.example.tld/<whateverport>` generates a neat proxy link `https://<code>.tunnel.example.tld/`.

It would be very handy for say a website designer to quickly bring up and share a demo website running on their development laptop no matter where they happen to be (home, work, the client's office or Starbucks) and everyone involved can "just access" everything through a web browser.
I think what I was looking for was the equivalent of “Getting Things Done” that mixed the theory of why you’d want to take notes this way with an explanation of how to. The promise of Zettelkasten wasn’t so much of the taking of notes, which I thought was useful but not really life-changing, but on what to do with them afterward. After a couple hundred pages of how that kind of organization could benefit me, I really wanted to know how to achieve it.
That's not what's being discussed. Your projections on morality - thankfully - do not make someone a sexual predator.
I follow an incredibly talented musician Twitch streamer who creates covers of songs during his streams. He uploads vods of his streams to Youtube and these can be anywhere from 3 - 5 hours. I used yt-dlp and ffmpeg to process his videos so I could create a table of contents that contained a list of timestamps of when he starts playing each song. The 2nd step (which I haven't done yet) is to create a small site that lets me search for different song covers and create playlists out of them.

One of the reasons I enjoyed building this was because it was just for me. There was no pressure for it to be production-ready or to make a profit.
Unclear what you're asking. Generally I've stayed 5-8 years at any one company (the most so far was 11). My time at a few startups were far shorter than that, for pretty guessable reasons.
I agree. Yet part of the problem is that your future kinda depends on it. You could be cataloged as having 'mental issues' for punching a guy in the face, even if it was for self defense. But yeah, I guess your point still stands since we've lost our sense of what's right and standing up for ourselves. The "Fine, I'll do it myself" meme would definitely apply here.
I have a book which has some diary entries written at the ends of chapters. It seems that the diarist's wife wanted them to move from the farm they lived on and the diarist was reluctant to do so but was going to acquiesce out of love for his wife.
I like the 0y format idea.

Your point about bit shifts is good, too. If the rightmost bit is the least-significant bit, then for consistency perhaps memory should be written with the lowest memory address on the right. Then 0xDEADBEEF makes sense both in terms of bytes within the value and bits within the byte; the first 4 bits within the lowest byte in memory are F, then next 4 bits within the lowest byte are E, the first four bytes within the second-to-lowest byte are E, the next 4 bits within the second-to-lowest byte are B, etc. So if 0xDEADBEEF were stored in little-endian, a hex editor could display DE AD BE EF
I think the purpose of (Java) interfaces should be primarily seen as a means to decouple code that shouldn't be tightly coupled, rather than a means to offer polymorphism. It's relatively rare that multiple implementations of the same interface is desirable, it definitely happens, but not too much.

It's a bit of a balance. Decoupling can definitely be taken too far. Anyone who has worked in the language has no doubt encountered the ravioli code left by someone who has just read Clean Code and has fully embraced Uncle Bob as their lord and savior.

In the end the need for this interface-as-decoupling pattern has dropped significantly with modern dependency injection and ad-hoc mocking libraries like Mockito. They grant most the benefits of these single-child interfaces with virtually none of the drawbacks.
Just make a ducking dumb electric car already! We don’t need 4 screens in every car. Mirrors, speedometer, battery gauge. CarPlay/android auto as an accessory.

I will say that Kia niro ev came pretty close to this.
You would be doing a public good if you post (publicly) the terms of that loan and any associated (anonymous) documents. Please consider it.
we have constantly and consistently 'compromised' by adding more and more gun laws. Oddly none of them prevent this kind of issue as it is already illegal to kill someone
Some people on this thread are talking about the java interface keyword in general whereas it seems to me OP is talking specifically about interfaces to backing services [0].

Tony Hawk when not doing ollies, was out there cracking everything.
It's true. We've banned throwaabolt and also what looks to be that user's main account.
Yeah, DataGrip. It's slow and unresponsive, unfortunately.

Their software probably is the best example of Swing, but it is still Swing, so performance makes a lot of operations feel slow and it doesn't prioritize data-first so the most intuitive way to do some things is in a blocking manner, with no smooth transitions from/to loader indicators.
It's believed that the US has 120 guns per 100 people and there are 7 guns per 100 people in Israel[1]. Israel has 10% of the number of gun-related-deaths (reported) that the US has, with some VERY heavy gun control laws - which routinely gets more strict[2].

What's interesting is that the number of people who take a shot at certain political figures is very low in the US, despite politics being so deeply concerning to so many adults. This feels like an adolescent/young-adult problem that's come to light. If there was a force like the Secret Service/FBI that cracked down on a WHIFF of threatening schools and the media coverage was blacked out for a month, we might see progress without getting mired in a gun control debate that won't be solved in our lifetime.

I've wanted something that merges the 3D martial arts combat of Bungie's old game Oni with the freerunning environmental exploration of Mirror's Edg3.

Bonus points for multiplayer mode, hand-to-hand weapons, and just a little more granularity in the hand-to-hand combat engine (when Barrabas would hold you up in the air dangling for a full second before uppercutting you into the stratosphere, it always seemed like you should have been able to kick him in the face). Decent enemy AI would be important (Oni's was not especially good).
Did something similar for a CompE course in 2014. We made a calculator in an FPGA. Probably one of the coolest lab projects in my memory.
That's what I assumed. The only BoD whose operations I am intimately familiar with has a ...slightly smaller...market cap.

In that place, the BoD is basically networking central - people get put on the board if the company thinks their connections will help the company out. I suppose they also weigh in on important decisions, but bringing along their Rolodex seems like the reason they are there (and I was assuming that is not so important when you are a $40B+ globally known company)
An interface isn't a magic get out of jail free card that makes swapping out an implementation trivial. And if it is, it's because it was done so from painstaking effort, and probably maintaining at minimum two implementations.
Just because a language makes it easy to create and maintain interfaces doesn't mean that interface was a good idea to begin with.
