It "seems"? There are observers and safeguards at every step. There were also 65 separate lawsuits filed around the country related to the 2020 presidential election where a judge was presented with the best evidence available that mistakes had happened (there were zero cases actually alleging fraud) and every case was tossed for failing to meet basic standards.

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/jan/08/joe-biden/...

There were also multiple statewide audits conducted by outside parties that found no wrongdoing and an insignificant margin of error in counting.

Conversely, this case in PA which was small scale and local was caught, tried, prosecuted and convicted. So, no. Judges are doing their jobs.
> More than obedience, it probably is the aspect that they're smart and determined to succeed.

Yup that's what it's about!

The problem with trying to test how good you are at the job is that you simply can't do it in a 1 hour (or even a 1 day) interview. You can however assess how smart somebody is, which is definitely correlated to job performance. It's also connected to growth potential - even if it were somehow possible to accurately measure how good a programmer a candidate is at the moment they are applying for the job, companies would still want to try to predict how good they are likely to be over the next few years.
It's wild watching people say things like "back in the day, XYZ was a best practice."

Best Practice does not mean "advice that I believe in." Best practices are legally binding documents issued by insurers.

What's the point of Android if it becomes iOS? I'll just buy an iPhone instead.

None of this stuff is for the consumers benefit.
I think the centre of the point of contention (and we can work outward from there) can be isolated like so: have there been zero authoritative personnel that have claimed or implied that fraud sufficient to change the outcome of an election is impossible?

Because it requires DNSSEC, and the impact of misconfiguring DNSSEC is unnecessarily high just to validate a certificate. Something like DANE that didn't require DNSSEC would work great I think

Existing industries and throughput. We could divert steel production (as an example, but applied to other raw materials) away from unnecessary (defense) applications, but even with monetary incentive you need to scale up the ability of humans to create megaprojects. Minimizing the size of the project not only minimizes the cost, but also maximizes our ability to make them faster. Given a choice between the two: I'd take the latter. We don't really have that choice though because we (humans) have not cracked the code to successful megaprojects on budget and on time every time.

I don't think it's the internet, exactly. But anywhere on the internet where your attention has been commoditized.

Basically - if you aren't paying to use the app (and it's not decent open source software), get that fucking cancer out of your device.

Just the basics: messages, calls, GPS, maps, shared connection, photos/videos

those make one awesome, compelling device. Don't ruin it by letting fucking scum companies siphon all your energy and attention away for their own profit (and they are actively trying - complete with statistics and graphs, OKRs & key performance indicators... all painting a picture about how much they can fuck you by stealing all your attention and time)

I was just talking about DNS not this other stuff.

But now that you bring it up, isn't the 6 resources per domain outdated? At least for HTTP2? When I've done performance testing on my site lately it definitely seemed to load more than 6 resources in parallel from one domain but I haven't looked into this topic in a long time (back when it definitely was limited)
Here's the advert - it seems very mild. The idea is about connection to the meat and fish you eat. I suspect some viewers will find the message as a little bit patronising or preaching. I'm sympathetic to the message 'Make The Connection' but the TV ad execution isn't great or effective.

Sorry, I misread. Further, OC explicitly says "Truepill is a white-labelled pharmacy e-commerce platform that MCCPDC".

I should have read more closely. I think part of my confusion is from not seeing (or maybe not recognizing) any examples on costplusdrugs.com.

Regardless, your points about retail price equilibrium still stands.

The choices remain "hollywood accounting" (fraud) and price controls. I continue to hope there's a third option. Not for any moral reason. But rather to avoid the inevitable omgherd libertarian backlash about the authoritarian governmental depriving corporations their god given right to further impoverish sick people. Something like changing the market incentives from fee-for-service to rewarding wellness (eg capitation). But I have yet to imagine how that could work for pharma.

Anyhoo. Thanks for humoring my grasping at straws.

“Get rid of the social media apps.”

A middle road I’ve used is to restrict myself to the browser versions of social media. The user experience is so frustrating that I don’t want to stick around, I just check on what people are up to once or twice per week.
It happens now and has happened in recent times among all types of employers. The historical and union specific example wasn't necessary.

Companies can strongly suggest who employees should vote for and solicit donations to specific candidates.

As far as checking a record of actual votes, that's old days Tammany Hall kind of stuff. Not to say it wouldn't happen again if people could easily get away with it.

Zero Hour? What is it?

I've seen Airplane! many, many times and I just found this out recently. There are a dozen or more videos on YouTube comparing the two movies.
This was my childhood in the 80's!

I don't remember TF1 being more boring than the other two, but Antenne 2 definitely had a block of Japanese cartoons in the afternoon. I'm pretty sure all three channels had state funding to some extent or another. They all ran commercials between programs. They would never interrupt a program with commercials. If you watched a movie, or even a TV program, you could expect to watch it all the way through without bathroom breaks. Popular contemporary American films were dubbed into French, but films that were considered more culturally significant (say, directed by John Ford or Akira Kurosawa) were shown in the original language and subtitled if necessary.

I was about twelve or thirteen when Canal+ came along. The content was scrambled so you couldn't really watch it without a subscription, but that's where the porn was, and you could tell what was happening on screen if you squinted right.

Then came La Cinq, the first completely private TV channel. Here, movies and TV programs were interrupted with commercial breaks. There was a lot of American programming and it was always dubbed, never subtitled. They played stuff like Knight Rider and Airwolf in the afternoon, so I put up with the commercial breaks which were still far shorter and less frequent than on American television.
> The overwhelming majority of forced labor done in Soviet Russia at the time was done by people convinced of crimes,

No, not at all. The people were not convinced by courts (sometimes kangaroo courts, other times not even that), and the thing they were conviced of were not crimes. And also there were forced labourers from other countries involved.

> In this case we're talking about a native culture that was destroyed, subjugated, colonized, and enslaved.

So actually completely the same thing that Stalin has done to other cultures in the Soviet Imperium, including vassal states.
That makes for a snazzy answer but we should probably consider how planes are actually engineered.

Brilliant engineers don’t make safe planes. It’s actually teams with a culture of excellence and quality.

Welcome to the UK, where the Premier League matches are split between three different broadcasters. So there isn't even one place you can go and be sure of being able to watch your favourite teams.

I think you make good points. I also think that Leetcode problems are not good for this (at least for most companies) simply because the problems are too hard and require preparation or luck. Some of the algo's that are being asked took quite some time to initially develop, e.g. Maximum subarray problem. In my opinion it would be better to ask something a lot simpler, should still give you this information.

I imagine they're trying to say you can't have a sub-linear approach, because it takes linear time to specify the graph (going over it once). So the time to "write it down" is the best you can possibly do (for an exact method).
Doesn't sound libertarian at all. Most libertarians hate the modern education system and hate the fact that we treat children like slaves.

Libertarians are all about individuals making their own choices regardless of whether or not that's the optimal outcome for society as a whole.

This dude is the opposite, a total collectivist.
It would be fair if the company has to pay you 5-11 months of salary if they decide no after the evaluation period. That would leave ample time to find another job. Also, in many jurisdictions, this kind of arrange isn't legal, for good reason, as the company has way more power over the individual worker.

Use font-display, people.

Required reading, “More than you ever wanted to know about font loading on the web”:
https://www.industrialempathy.com/posts/high-performance-web...

Edit:

> Developers need to use a system font stack which loads fonts from the system itself instead of remote web fonts

IMO the takeaway is "self-host fonts, make sure they're small files, load early, and don't block render," not "only use native fonts"
When I put together a list of the "best" SF shorts a while back by author, this was my choice for Asimov. (IMO I can make an argument for "Nightfall" but that's a novella and other things being equal I was prioritizing shorter works.) That said, Asimov has a lot of good short stories including quite a few of his robot stories.
The idea that companies are using leetcode tests for rational reasons goes against everything I've seen and experienced or read about. What I have seen, working at startups for more than 20 years, is irrational, self-destructive behavior, over and over and over again. I've worked with many entrepreneurs who have a few million dollars in the bank, and they have a great idea, but they self-destruct due to two big reasons: ego and fear. I wrote about this in How To Destroy A Tech Startup In Three Easy Steps, where I talk about two cases that I saw with my own eyes. This kind of self-destruction is much more common than the kind of clever, rational behavior that you impute to these companies. And I think many other people are also witnessing this kind of irrational, self-destructive behavior, consider the reviews posted on the books page, where quite a few people chimed in to say the book matched their own experience:

But why?
Or, rather, it grows more slowly than m^(1 + epsilon) for any fixed epsilon > 0.

The function m log m is m^(1 + o(1)) but it grows more quickly than linear.
There seems to be a conflict here. The author of the linked article interprets the guideline, "New airports can only be added by OpenBSD developers who have visited an airport and thereby have verified its existence," as only requiring that you have been to the airport, not necessarily having flown from:

> Once again, the more astute reader will not have missed the fact that the rules do not stipulate any flying requirements. Neither did henning@, who not long after airport.7 was committed, added an entry for XFW, (the Airbus factory) which he had visited but not flown from.

Fair enough - he wrote the requirement, after all.

However, the Caveat in the man page seems to contradict this, and indicates that you do have to fly in:

“We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable.” --Gabe Newell, [0]

Space outside of Lagrange points and gravity wells isn't attractive along any axis, the unstable Lagrange points have a plane which allows unstable orbits which have longer or shorter durations, depending on how exactly aligned with that plane the vector is.

We should expect more junk, not necessarily a lot more, and this is of course simulated in the models used to design JWT... but not necessarily with perfect fidelity.
I've been doing web development since 1996. It catches my attention that those topics are considered "surprising" by the newer developers.

Some people see this as a sign that younger developers are weaker. Not at all.

There seems to be certain limits to the amount of knowledge we manage to get access to. Past a certain point, you start to get into an area full of "unknown unknowns" and, even after turning them into "known unknowns", it's very hard to find further information to clarify them. When I started my career, some topics were extremely hard for me to grasp. I couldn't even articulate my questions about those subjects. And when I started to be able to, it was hard to find information, either in the form of articles or in the form of knowledgeable people

On the other hand, older developers, who had had access to earlier computers and programming languages, had no problems at all to master those topics.

Nowadays I feel the same about other fields I entered in more recently. Some older ham radio operators I know seem to have an intuition about topics I started to understand only after months of research -- I finally found the answers on books from the 70s and 80s. I have friends in different branches of engineering who feel the same about their fields.

It seems that we have an inclination to abstract away the fundamentals. And this is terrible in all sorts of ways.
All of those projects pre-date the campaign against RMS afaict so their licenses were a settled matter already.

I disagree.

Culture is important at companies. Without it quality engineering can’t/won’t happen. People will rise to the bar set by their leadership unfortunately.

I'm sitting in my chair wearing a Red Wings jersey as I type this, and I haven't watched a single game this season after several years as an NHL.tv subscriber. I always had to do some shenanigans to be able to watch my team, but as they ramped up their protections to prevent people from ever being able to watch their home team, I eventually gave up and cancelled my subscription.

Haven't seen a game since and now I spend my weekends watching F1 cars drive around in circles. They seem happy to have me as a fan so that's where my money goes these days.

Officially it is forbidden to go topless for women but honestly few people would complain in most places. If someone does however you might get into trouble, but you probably won't have to pay anything or maybe a very small fine.

Even as a man I ran around completely naked from time to time, at least in areas where it isn't officially allowed but maybe expected. Sometimes you can inspire people to strip down too. Wouldn't do that in the age of the smartphone as much, but usually people are usually very relaxed about it. But you have to know your audience and you will get headwind when you do it in areas where nobody wants to see naked people.

Honestly I wouldn't like it too much at pools but I would not complain or make it an issue. To think this is a gender equality problem certainly is very silly.
