As others pointed out a lot of us did that kind of stuff. I signed up for AOL at least a hundred times using fake credit card and bank account numbers. After that I picked a random person out of the phone book and signed up for a local ISP that mailed the bill, no credit card required. That worked for something like 6 months before they cancelled the account.

You have to remember how expensive this stuff was in the 80's and 90's, how low risk this type of fraud was, and how us teens didn't really think about it. ISPs billed by the hour, something a teen could not afford.
If you've still got your back-end code, it'd be fun to restore your app -- I could help host it!
Heh I was referring to the fact that used 2019 models with 40k miles on them currently will sell for MORE than MSRP for a brand new car, because the used one is on the lot and available, the new ones are 6 months out.

Hey after all that activity on Twitter you gotta give him leeway at some point, just like a cop who's been in a thousand conflicts gets a pass when things go wrong, there has to be a margin of error.

“Minuscule” or not, it doesn’t matter. Every molecule of CO2 & other greenhouse gases avoided now is worth dozens or hundreds or more that we’ll have to recapture via carbon capture in the future if we want to prevent a climate disaster.
I do have a zip archive of (I think all) my source code. Maybe I'll try and post it on Github this weekend and send you a link!

Edit: Yep, I just checked and have both the app client and backend code. I will post everything I can this weekend and ping you via email if I can find it in your profiles or I see you have your Discord alias.
Yes, in fact it's what I've been doing the past few days. Luckily there's a long weekend coming up with lots of free time for me to work on it: XBattle style game rewritten in Unity. Plan is to get a basic version browserized so I can get some feedback from players. My list of features I want to add is already starting to grow exponentially (e.g. persistent multiplayer world: hop on to play the game whenever you have time, then leave your troops in a defensive position and hopefully nobody is able to break your defense while you're not playing ^^).
Please do so. "Absolutely possible" is showing me you are way too confident of things and this usually is a sign you actually never done so.
It’s a problem because the dealer keeps the markup.
The dealer isn’t doing any R&D or really much of value, as you can see they’re being replaced by a web site.
this is a hard decision that everyone, including upper management

I call bullshit on the inclusion of "upper management". To think upper management cares about anything other than short term profits (and their own bonuses) is just naive. When COVID hit, the company I worked for laid off 40 people (we were just a couple of hundred employees in total). You know how they laid them off? One morning they simply asked the sysadmin to turn off their logins.

It is not a "hard decision" - to them, it is just like throwing away a chair or a table. Remember that dude who laid off 900 something people on a zoom call and shit talking them later? You mentioned morale, what do you think happens the morale of the people who found half of their (small) team laid off with zero warning, like it happened to my team?

There may be exceptions of course, but it is safe to say most companies don't give a shit about their employees, even their star employees.

I am not complaining about layoffs here (though the way they do it is cruel). Just pointing out that companies are not as heartbroken about it as you seem to think. It is just business
Hanlon's Razor is, I believe, a good rule of thumb, but people keep using it in situations such as this one where it's not just potentially malice (wanting to harm someone for little other reason than wanting to see them hurt or wanting to hurt) but also greed/self-interest. Hanlon's Razor as stated makes sense to me. I see a lot more stupidity in the world than I see people wanting to hurt for no other reason. But greed? I see a lot of that.
So he should be condemned because he behaves differently than you?

As a reminder, this kind of thinking lead to the worst atrocities of 20th century history.

> Your saying that this being a possibility means all proprietary software is immoral is like saying that since some businesses are pyramid schemes, all businesses are immoral.

No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that proprietary software is immoral because it takes away an important human freedom - the freedom to control our own computation. You're said "ok but what if someone agrees to use proprietary software?" then I said "that does not make proprietary software any less bad".
> Give me hypothetical scenarios any day of the week.

Hypothetical scenarios are just that, hypothetical. Competencies are much better evaluated through evidence, rather than speculation.

A classic example here would be conflict resolution: if you ask someone “how would you solve a conflict at work” you typically get a very standard - and often rehearsed - answer, whereas if you ask “tell me about a conflict you had at work” you end up with something much rawer and more revealing. The way we imagine we deal with conflict is often not how we actually behave.

Of course, not everyone has an answer to these questions. If I’m interviewing someone who’s only a year or so out of college they’re unlikely to have a wealth of work related stories to pull from.

A good interviewer recognises this, and adapts the questions to fit the background. Perhaps you’ve never experienced a conflict at work, but you definitely will have elsewhere (perhaps, for a college grad, at a student group or team project).
Would someone who understands this better mind explaining? For example, should we be stop using air purifiers.
I love the enthusiasm and DIY ingenuity here. That said, the post is tagged with COVID-19. The COVID virus particles are .1 to .5 microns in size, and these MERV-14 filters, while certainly better than nothing, are not going to capture a significant amount of these virus particles. A better approach is to not filter the particles, but actually rip them apart at a molecular level. This has the added benefit of destroying all sorts of other contaminents that even high grade HEPA filters will miss, such as mold mycotoxins. A system like the Molekule is a good example of this approach.

Smart right?

Should be enough time to evaluate whom to keep and not offending anyone directly by stating economic issues
>He teased that the company sees potentially huge profits in building an electric vehicle for ride-hailing services Lyft and Uber.

Yes. Especially because Uber and Lyft closing business is just a matter of time.
That doesn’t obtain goodwill, it just delays the inevitable while we continue putting these gases into the atmosphere.
When hiring, I really strive to figure out what makes my positions special and then find people that are a good fit for what I can offer rather than trying to find some platonic ideal "best" candidate. So for me, other than a toxic situation, I'm very happy pulling people into a role at a company I'm leaving.

But at this point in my career I'm likely much more deliberate than average about making sure a role is giving me what I need as well as more deliberate than most managers about trying to find good all-dimension fits for my positions.
That's probably true.

I stuck with 8 back then because it's good enough, and the more thin and precise things get, the more expensive yet less tolerant of road salt they seem to become.

2x13 seems like more ratios than I'd ever need, but who am I to say that applies to everybody?
I think there's a kind of ideology behind the phrase that personifies companies, giving them "rights" that become even more important than individual human rights. And there's the weird idea that companies can do whatever they want, despite the mountains of government regulation of corporate behavior.

Almost every use of "private company" is in contrast to a publicly traded company. Except when people start talking about "rights", and then they're apparently using it in a different way, which I find very odd and ideological.
It is also important in the cooling cycle for two reasons.

1. If there is not enough air moving over the air-conditioner coils there is the possibility that they will ice over. This has a cascading effect where there is less transfer through the coils and more ice builds up until the whole thing is a block of ice. This most often happens though when people buy condensers that are too big for their system (the thinking being the bigger the better the more cooling, but it is a balance within some tolerance) but can also be done on the other side by reducing airflow too much.

2. Less airflow can also mean too much condensation in the air which can end up sitting in the ductwork and causing it to rust out. This happened to my parents when they installed extra filters in their HVAC system. I guess this is similar cause as #1, just different potential effects.
Gnu Gold, llvm’s LLD, and now Mold all work just fine with GCC for mainstream Linux development for mainstream targets, and reasonably well for secondary targets.

Dozens of companies use them. Google has an extremely demanding linking environment and developed and used Gold for a long time for it’s primary linker. It has since moved on to LLD. It is unlikely to adopt mold at the moment due to licensing issues.

All the compatibility issues were solved a long time ago with LLD and Gold. Probably only a matter of time for Mold.

The more obscure the target OS and architecture, the more likely gnu ld is the only linker capable of doing the job. But most users won’t notice. Gnu ld has the best linker script support by a wide margin too, so if you are doing really really wacky things with your layout where you need 100% total control, you have to use gnu ld also.

But those are obscure edge cases these days, and very uncommon in normal practice.
> The only real major inconvenience using it is the fact that it constantly pauses to calibrate itself to the temperature range it is being exposed to, a process that freezes the screen and UI for well over a second.

Does anyone know what these thermal cameras are doing when they calibrate? Normally I think of calibration as using some known reference to match your sensor data to, but it’s not clear to me what the reference would be in this case.
I can see the MSRP online and at the no-haggle dealer and on the website for the manuf, MSRP is the one number they do publish.
> The IDE states that you can modify the program while it's running is that actually working well? Cause it seems like a very volatile feature that can go very poorly.

It's actually a paradigm that works well in many programming languages besides Smalltalk such as Common Lisp, but for some reason seems to be forgotten with "modern" and "trendy" programming languages. Except for.... JavaScript!
Yay! The community is still around -- drop us a line if you need any help! Link is on the website.
Is it a competitor though? The amount of developer salary it would take to implement such a feature and push it out at Twitter vs. the close to zero threat Mastadon poses to Twitter, seems like a bad tradeoff if we're being conspiratorial.
the problem with rates is that they can't go too high or the Treasury gets all stressed out due to cost of debt. the current situation is a certified shitshow basically with bad options only.

You might be right on this. I have written a lot of rust and a fair bit of network code, but I never went near async. I'm not exactly sure what my problem with it is, but I started writing rust before async was a thing and always felt more comfortable with finite state machines and polling for network code (I guess I am atypical).

Anyway, I am sorry that you have to use async.
Got it, you're just completely detached from reality and don't actually understand anything people are saying to you on the thread. Take care

I certainly was out a lot less during most of the 2019-2021 times, but that was mostly because COVID.

Funny enough I probably go out more now than I did before, something about WFH is a lot less draining and I don’t feel the urge to take a unexpected nap at 6pm.
All several thousand of Mastodon instances? With constant updates with new ones?
You are missing used car sales. Most people who buy a new car trade in their old car and the dealer makes a killing on that. (when the car is leased that almost always amounts to a trade in from the dealer's perspective, though once in a while the lease company will sell the car in some way other than the dealer).

You are correct that there is no real money in new car sales anymore.
That actually is a really good idea, they'll figure out problems real quick that way. Very very good idea.

Opera Mobile (not Mini) for Symbian S60 with its d-pad bag of tricks was surprisingly usable with desktop websites, just crippled by a very low-res screen. Too bad it seems to have fallen off the face of the Earth even before Presto was abandoned.

This was, is, a common refrain as Google slowly but surely ensured that Firefox users would run into blocking issues and mysterious performance bugs, every week, that disappear with merely a user agent change. Mighty convenient a supermajority of the time, these bugs.

At some point when your scale is big enough and you are the dominant incumbent, whether something is due to wreckless accidents or intentional or "blind"/ignorant malice is a moot question. The responsibility is (and so too should the punishments be) the same. That must be treated as the necessary cost of operating at this scale.
As far as I know you can using the wasm32-unknown-unknown target. I think wasm-pack does extra stuff like supporting different targets like a nodejs module or a webpack compatible format, which is outside of the scope of something like cargo imo.
The hints definitely aren't manually chosen — they're just a word some distance closer to the target than you've gotten so far. And I wouldn't be surprised if the targets are randomly picked from the word2vec dataset, too.
Have you tried PyCharm? Even the community edition is pretty solid.

Btw, how do you set up your vim+python? do you use something like coc.nvim to get language server protocol working with it?
The idea that you believe that a system I am saying shouldn't be built will somehow have a bug in it despite not existing is ridiculous. I will once again repeat, therefore, with more context: I am not claiming one should or can build systems without mistakes... I am claiming that, because we make mistakes--and because we all know that we all (including myself) make mistakes--we should not build certain kinds of systems, and that building systems that put us in a position where making mistakes cause these kinds of effects "is the malice".

Regardless, if it IS a mistake, we can assume Twitter will offer a formal apology indicating that they made a mistake that accepts fault for the impact it had on others, explain how they think that mistake occurred in enough detail that we can agree that it was a mistake and not an excuse, they will take steps to prevent that similar mistake from happening in the future, and they will further attempt to "make it right" somehow to the mastadon community (particularly so, as this was a competitor) with some extra benefit or concession... right? I will note that going around making mistakes and neither apologizing for them not taking responsibility for them--instead just flippantly hiding behind "we all make mistakes" while continuing to put yourself in a position where your mistakes matter to people--is itself a malicious act.
Bone chilling beautiful.
Well, the dispatcher problem is applicable outside of messenger bots too. But your point is right. I think it was a mistake that teloxide is written in Rust. I just wanted to learn a new language so I was like, why not writing such a library in Rust. Don't make my mistakes.
I'd be surprised if it had a negative impact. Since they are currently hiring production staff for new plants, its likely that overall staffing will still be higher 12 months from now than today.

That’s untrue, lay-offs and not for cause terminations have all sorts of protections and implications for the employer. The employment law body for not for cause termination is substantial, and discrimination law absolutely applies in not for cause termination - if they laid off all their pregnant and black employees you don’t think there would be liability?
Yep. I never considered it to be useful due to the size and the fact that I rarely encounter flathead screws, but it’s surprisingly handy.
Racket editor (DrRacket) is incredibly memory hungry. Try this:
1) Launch DrRacket
2) Start Microsoft Visual Studio
3) Start Task Manager and look at memory consumption

You will get the result as in this picture: https://ibb.co/ZLdTPGB

You’ll see that DrRacket consumes an enormous 648MB of memory while you haven’t even done anything in it yet. Visual studio consumes only 240MB (which is still a lot, to be clear, but still significantly less than the pathetic DrRacket).

It is especially interesting that the Racket community always says that they are superior, but they are obviously not able to make a more memory efficient editor than, according to them, the poor Visual Studio (which is much more than an editor and has many more functions than DrRacket)!
It sounds like they're saying that you need to replace your filters periodically.
I've been trying to make an email with a gTLD my primary personal email address. Its so annoying having so many forms say "that's not a valid email!" just because they didn't get the message things like .ninja, .dev, .duck, .fun are all valid TLDs these days. No, their form says emails can only be .com, .net, .org, .mil, or maybe a handful of ccTLDs.

I agree with what you say in re: Kermit. Most of these images look to me like a frog that looks like Kermit the Frog but isn't. Metaphorically (and literally) Jim Henson isn't in these images.

However, I don't think you're correct in your assessment of the import of this sort of thing: it's an imagination machine. This isn't a brick wall, it's a foundation on which to build.
I was obviously simplifying it for my explanation as I didn't want to write a story. Yes you can file-out and file-in but thats not the primary mode of operation when working with the IDE.

> An updated design, also known as a Comparetto Cube, [1] uses four filters and a cardboard base that can sit directly on the floor.

I never understood the purpose of the bottom filter in the Corsi-Rosenthal Box, so it felt like a waste of a filter, but I'm a big fan of the Comparetto Cube (no put intended). And 4 packs of filters are readily available -- 20x20x2 is suggested for the Comparetto Cube.

[edit] Also, thank you. I couldn't recall the Corsi-Rosenthal name/link, but thought of the wiki immediately.

One area that I think we'll see some progress on soon is "Ease of use" in Rust. A major change in the last few months for the github trending repositories has been the appearance of full applications built in rust. As more full software products are written we should start to see what works and what doesn't work. IDE support in rust is getting better, but still has a long way to go.

What Rust will likely need is a set of libs similar to Guava, and Guice to make coding actually productive. We already see that starting to emerge with the Tokio ecosystem, however it would be helpful to have stronger support outside of the Async community.
Up to the Nyquist limit, a digital signal will completely recreate the original signal, with no square wave steps. Digitisation does not result in square wave output anywhere in the output chain.

It' probably because "Reallocate and reduce police funding to other resources," isn't as catchy. But yes, I agree, "defund the police," is obviously too vague and means different things to different people. That's the problem with most political slogans like, "Make America Great Again," "Build Back Better," "We Are the 99%," "Black Lives Matter," "Back The Blue," etc. Not really sure what any of those really mean.
