The second amendment is really short. The current interpretation taken to its final conclusion (which will probably happen) is no limits at all. Open carry a loaded m16 in the middle of NYC? That's your right.

The other way of reading it is that this is about well regulated militias, that the government cannot stop organized shooting practise. Anything beyond that is up to state or federal law.

The final way of looking at it is that with standing armies of the US this is no longer needed, and perhaps slave owners from before 1800 perhaps did not have all the answers.
One often overlooked aspect of technical writing is the formatting/ease of navigation. You could have the most wonderful documentation, very clearly written, but if its navigation is a pain it will degrade the experience and frustrate the user.

Just a (rather petty) example, React documentation is often lauded as very good,and I kinda agree.

But if you visit from a "low" resolution laptop(1366x768) and click in advanced options to the right on this link:

https://reactjs.org/docs/getting-started.html

It turns out you cannot scroll the options easily by using keys or a 2-button mouse because it does not have a scroll bar (why?). You have to use the scroll-wheel(not everybody has it) or drag down the menu in a clunky way, and this is the documentation of a front-end framework.

Another pet-peeve of mine it is what I call the "Netflix effect", the documentation is fine but there is not a clear, straightforward table of contents, and there are lot of internal links in the documentation so you jump from one place to the other but you are not really sure what order you are following or how much ahead or behind you are jumping from your current section. Microsoft .NET documentation is like that.

On the other hand, this is a very good example(except by the annoying Discuss thing)

https://javascript.info/

Everything is laid out in a very straightforward way, at any moment you have a very clear mental model of where you are in the document.

Postgres, Rails and Django are a little less clear in that sense but still extremely well organized.
Regulation limiting the amount of notifications you can receive for microtransaction purchases would make a big difference I think.

Even though I am refusing to spend money for gems, there is effectively always a “look at me” notification on the screen reminding me that the store is open. They’re gaming the fact that we have all been trained through habit to check those notifications, and it is really effective.
This is a great example of how women face income gaps after childbirth.
I'm thinking of doing this but at the same time I'm afraid of exposing my home network to a remote VPS. Am I being too paranoid about this?

If I do go this route do you have any suggestions with respect to security?
I feel like everyone here is missing OPs point. It seems like they had a mostly typical interview, which the candidate had probably been through a bunch of but for whatever reason wasn't to intrigued by the company. Maybe the candidate thought it was too boilerplate... I don't know. But then during lunch, when a handful of collegues are casually throwing around brain teasers, the candidate realized he would like the atmosphere. This doesn't seem too wild to me. But then again, software engineers are some of the most sensitive people I've ever worked with.
I like your approach, lets go for the 17th century rules...if we accept a duel it should to death or stop when blood is drawn :-)
>The best questions were "which of these four functions or classes do you use to do $common task with $framework", testing documentation speed reading skills rather than actual coding skills; other questions were ambiguous, debatable or completely wrong.

Sounds like testgorrilla. I swear they have a poor markov-chain based AI generating the questions.
This is one thing I actually like on android: you have fine gained control over not only which apps can send notifications but also which kinds of notifications a particular app can send.

So it's usually easy to just turn off all the annoying ones, while keeping the useful ones.
We do; just not everywhere. I've moved to Liverpool, and the rail system here is great (as far as it goes - it could always use more lines). Fifteen minute interval suburban service from the south suburbs under the city all the way to Southport, fast and frequent service to places in the Wirral etc. It's great - Merseyrail is an unusual example of a forward-looking rail system done in the 70s. The trains are old now (new ones on the way) but it just works.

Leeds? Not so much. Daventry? Nothing. Whitby? One slow train every two hours.
In the article, they mention that two different species of electric fish evolved independently, by two separate genetic pathways.

For a long time I believed that if two organisms were phenotypically similar, they must have a nearby common ancestor. But I keep reading more and more about how nature seems to stumble across the same adaptations and mechanisms via many different routes. E.g. what we know as a "tree" is not a distinct phylogenetic branch, but a form that has evolved independently over and over again [1]

Quality Control and payback periods are two situations where this becomes very obvious if you think about it, but is not obvious to most comsumers.

When you get the factory working well enough that you make a gross profit, you can scale up. The. You reduce waste over time by making little tweaks, and your margins go up a little. But then you need to pay off the equipment, and the research costs, and nobody wants to taper that off in a long tail because what’s the point in making a product you make no money on the entire time, or leaving yourself open for the competition introducing a new product you can’t compete with because you don’t have money saved up for R&D?

So you pay off your loans and refill your war chest and everything after that is gravy. If you’re the first in your industry to get there, you can turn the crews on the competition by lowering your prices first. Or don’t and get sued for price fixing. Dropping the price by 3% isn’t going to get anyone to take a chance on your product instead of someone else’s. You’ve got to do something more dramatic than that. And then you might find out you’re not the first, because everyone else happily matches or exceeds your price drop.
This is one of the many aspect of why it is important to have control on your computing device. Fight for it!

(And yes, if I can't find an open source app for a service, I won't use it. I'm fine and very happy in my life, I don't miss any specific thing, and yes, no useless notification indeed. Try it!)

I wish there was a fine grain control for Teams notifications.

The amount of messages I get that do not need my immediate attention and/or could have been an email is astounding.

I turned off notifications for Teams as a result and hope that people will call me if it is really urgent.
That's just the first question.

The follow-on is, if you add 6 feet and put your finger under the rope and pull up until it's tight again, how far have you raised your finger? 1ft? 10ft? 100ft? 1000 miles?

The answer to that is very difficult. There are several approaches.

I've enjoyed using git-ssb (https://scuttlebot.io/apis/community/git-ssb.html), which allows me to save and share git repos using the scuttlebutt gossip protocol. Makes for a nice decentralized solution where I can back up between my machines, and those that I'm working on a project with.

The only problem that I've found is that my github repo now shows very little activity which make job hunting harder.
Definitely for the next few years, but who knows - RISC-V is catching up scarily fast from what I can tell
The problem with this is that games designed to be monetized this way are going to build their progression, reward-systems, cosmetic systems, grind balance, etc. around it.

So the players who are "paying what they want (mostly zero)" aren't getting a normal but free Diablo game, they are getting version of that game balanced and prioritized around the whales that /will/ be spending the money. The actual customers.

I'd rather pay than "free-ride", because I don't want incessant popups telling me how how I can skip the grind (that is tuned to irritate me) by buying a gems with my credit card.

I'm not as valuable to Blizzard/Activision/NetEase with my one-time-purchase though, and they know it.
It sucks that the model of pay once ($60) or subscription doesn’t gel with the in-app purchase or advertising models.

For example YouTube premium is a worse product than it could be because the entire platform has been designed with advertising and engagement in mind.
A kitchen torch doesn't have enough energy, but one could use an electric or a wood, charcoal or gas grill. There is no way any state is going to take BBQ away from Americans.

There's also a Balkan variation of baba ganoush without tahini, just cooked eggplant, onion and sunflower or olive oil. It's boringly called 'eggplant salad' in my country. The Greek version is very similar and BBQing the eggplant makes even tastier. Another variation of this dish also exists in the Carribean, where it's called baigan choka.
While it is a quite a bit more work to get working correctly, I imagine you could cobble something together with iOs' focus modes [0] and shortcuts [1] automation (where shortcuts can change the focus mode). Just put everything you want all the time in allowed apps, and then disable the focus mode when the required notifications are needed.

You can also automate "when app X is opened, select focus mode" [2], so maybe the workflow would be:

When app with annoying notifications is opened (i.e. is needed), disable focus mode.
Then reenable focus mode 1 hour later through automation.

Still more annoying than having some kind of built in thing, but shortcuts does really enable fixing a lot of annoying things (especially in iOS[3]).

For GitHub, using the hub[1] client, you can simply do:

hub create -p

That will create a new private repo, matching the name of your repository.

What I will often do if I want to instantly mirror something to github:

hub create -p --remote-name=github

Which will create a new remote with that name. Otherwise origin will be used, which can conflict if you already have an origin remote.

It is also less typing.

It doesn’t seem to exactly fit your description but Python Challenge (http://www.pythonchallenge.com/) has been incredibly fun and rewarding for me back in the day.

It’s a series of riddles that are meant to be solved using the python language. It’s really old now but I’m hoping that some library specific riddles are still relevant. Apart from those few, most of them should be language agnostic as well.

I’ve always wanted to create a similar thing to replicate the experience in JS but never gotten around to it.

Edit: oh also completely agree with most of the recommendations here. Particularly with TIS-100, Factorio and Human Resource Machine.
Yeah it's easy to act all butt-hurt and be too good to even try. But how outrageous is it to imagine that folks who can solve such problems might be able to solve other problems?
I'm fairly certain this piece is meant to drum up support for gas stove bans in places like Los Angeles or NYC.

Too coincidental. Certainly inspired by it.

If you really believe that gas is awful for environment, that more solar and thus electricity should be used, you'd find the reasons to justify it even as brownouts threaten the AC for a good part of Summer.
Yes, but just barely. https://everyi.com/by-capability/maximum-supported-ios-versi...

I'm having trouble finding apples schedule for iOS updates for old devices, but in a year, this likely will be EOL.
It doesn't matter what you set any of these things to, if you leave your account idle for a while you'll start getting made up notifications again to try to draw you back in. Both Facebook and Twitter do this, though ime Facebook's tend to work better just because I have marginally more reason to care about any given person on my FB feed than the much more eclectic set of people my Twitter is connected to.
I don't think its inevitable and I don't think it's a good long term monetization strategy. It's just short term planning with complete disregard for the long term health of the company. How the board of directors doesn't see this is shocking. Maybe they do and also want to milk it today instead of tomorrow just like the C-suite. Yes, exploitative mobile gaming is profitable as hell - but in the current world is alienating your extremely loyal (and higher earning) fan-base worth it?

Either way, it's a shame and a waste of a lot of really great IP that will be buried alive when the coffin that is Blizzard is lowered into the ground.
I never used AOL, but as a kid, receiving the 3.5" floppy in the mail was really nice. Saved me having to buy one!
Oh please. Your hyperbole not only completely misses the point of my post above, it's also useless for actually, realistically solving the problem of the Royal Family's wealth generating methods being legitimized. Short of some extreme revolutionary shift in British politics (or European politics in general) nobody is going to suddenly take everything the royals have and "burn it all down". It wouldn't even have legal standing under the most flexible terms, because not all the wealth of all royals is based on illegitimate activities or ownership structures.

And again, what about vast government revenue generation, taxation systems and the things they often get spent on? These absolutely do have relevance to any discussion about tax percentages, policies and how wealthy people are treated by the systems they operate in.
There's no uninstall event on iOS, and I believe the same is true of Android, so they won't see it directly. Disabling notifications is more likely to be noticed.
Some Conway’s Law hooey on my current job means I don’t even have that information. I’m doing work to reduce cluster size and maybe we’d be better off if I worked on cross-AZ chatter instead. No idea. Suspicions, yes. Dark, cynical suspicions, but no idea.
Not at a fixed rate with finite computing power or finite memory. Essentially a fixed algorithm needs ever increasing or infinite levels of precision in it’s calculations to avoid loops.
I think a couple others have said this already, but I know when I was sending out push notifications at my previous job, you would add a "channel" for the notification for this exact reason. Then users could block that specific channel without blocking the really useful ones (at least on Android)
I am a fan of PHP's official documentation. It's well organized, terse, and relies heavily on exemplification.

As a bonus, you get more examples in the comments—kind of like Stack Overflow, but attached to a particular feature or process of PHP.

I guess my question is what you mean by "know the science".

For example I know different types of stars and how their compositions differ, but not detailed mathematical models. If by "the science" you mean the latter, great, I can drop the idea, if the former I might be able to add value.

(For example, I've read a lot about black holes, Hawking radiation etc, but not in a detailed mathematical sense, just more general ideas like the concept of an event horizon.)
For leukemia, there are a lot of promising new treatments and clinical trials. For metastatic solid-state tumors, much less. We're still in the dark ages of cancer treatment.

ah that makes sense, thanks!
That's just a silly assertion. Many developing countries have little to no subsidies in regards to children and yet their birth rates are higher.

Better medical treatments and lack of wars are not child subsidies.
Yeah but you've got to learn to let things go. I'm temporarily single parenting with a full time job and it doesn't have to be that hard. Like kiddo usually eats microwaved meat & vegetables plus a pasta/rice that I cook twice a week. Is that worse than a cooked from scratch meal? Everyone will say yes, but he's getting the macronutrients and vitamins he needs so what difference does it make? Kind of applies to everything. Some days he doesn't get a bath, the house gets wild, I put a movie on because I'm tired of his shit and so on. But I'm 80-90% of ideal but that's enough for 99%+ of the benefits.

I've seen reflections of OP in a lot of parents in my life. They fall into two categories:

Type As that direct this sort of extreme level of effort to anything they do.

Anxiety/OCD that just can't let that little bit of benefit go combined with satisfying their complusion of controlling everything.
> I'm on Android; I'm not sure if iOS has a concept of channel-specific settings

Sadly iOS doesn't really have this in the same way :(
Interesting that twitch still uses IRC as their messaging infrastructure. Wonder how they were able to scale it up.
Equivalent is a small back-scroll. Not a bad way to bring in control structures to a scrolling content array.
What's unethical is a system that completely drains a person's wealth for getting sick.
I don't really see how can an open source project that you can self host be abused. Do you have any example of that happening?
Probably not cost effective once you remove the massive subsidies and scale of fossil burning uses.

There's alternatives and the sooner we start making them at scale the sooner they'll be cheaper and better than the fossil equivalent, just like renewables and EVs and heat pumps etc.

Note that fossil extraction also has a climate impact, methane leaks etc. even when not burned, though the bribes going to politicians are probably the bigger threat.
What's the draw of premium? Cannot see anything there that would be more then marginal useful for me.
No worries. The point is we don't need people to become teachers who will be shocked they incurred debt in the process. That's true for pretty much any degree. Sorry if you didn't enjoy the comment, that's why they have the little voting buttons.
Facebook only appeared to divide notification into categories when its data misuse unfolds. Several years ago (if I recall correctly), turning off one broad category will indeed nuke the "nagging" notification, but also turn off legitimate ones as well.
Still pretty cool. It’s helpful to know the conditions (and therefore planetary eras, etc) that catalyzed the development of more advanced lifeforms, to the extent that it dials in a more robust understanding of how our present ecology came to be
>The first launches were supposed to happen in 2026, but that timeline was changed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. ESA halted all cooperation with Russia’s space agency over the war. The tensions have derailed a planned Russian–European Mars rover — and now NASA and ESA are redrawing their Mars-landing plans.

Sigh!
The point appears to be that a year of compensation is pitiful even if one considers the 18y effort part time.

Having young kids I think it's more like full time parenting, on top of any regular day job. Unless you can find a spouse willing to do all the kid work, which is like non-stop 12-16h days until all are in school.

Heaven forbid your SO wants to homeschool and expects you to do at least 40% of parenting, with your day job.
And then you click on a result item, reject it, hit “back” and you are not where you were in the result set. You have to scroll back to some unknowable position within infinity. Very discouraging as a user.
Everything is fairly consistent until you monitor it 24/7, and put a bunch of junk in the way to extract meaningful work.

That's when life starts taking on a surprising level of detail that no one ever stared long enough to notice before.
By which you mean it will begin receiving only security updates, like a first party device from Google or Samsung that is way less than half as many years old?

If you buy the current 2021 Google Pixel 6, they will only guarantee that you will receive OS updates through October 2024, which is just ridiculous in comparison to a 2014 iPad that is still on the current OS.
