I get (and hate) the fact that Microsoft is pushing hard for the desktop to become a light client integrated in their cloud, but isn’t apple doing exactly the same? I don’t own a mac but my iphone nags me all the time to use apple’s cloud services for everything and I understand apple is making MacOS converge to iOS.

The obstacle to switching to linux for me is not too many distributions, it is that I have to relearn everything, from my way to the filesystem, how drivers and networking work, virtualisation, web servers, etc. And linux is many things, but intuitive and self discoverable it is not. I just don’t have the time for starting from scratch (and it’s not related to my day job either), until windows becomes really user hostile (I see it coming but not yet there).
i think the idea is to demonstrate more easily the information leak by exaggerating the amount of information being leaked.

with 3 doors, there are only so many the host can chose to open. with a 100, there is up to 98. sure, it can be 1 or 2... or 98.
What issue do you have with 'web's layout engine'?
I have noticed Vivaldi consumes vastly more memory and CPU resources.
I agree with the principle - but the apps are ultimately comparatively unhealthy compared to hardware ereaders like actual Kindle.

I rarely use the app as I've normally got the latter with me if I'm going to have time to read.
That's interesting. What firmware are you running on the Teensy? The 3d printer software Klipper uses a similar architecture, and I'm very impressed at the general purpose motion control firmware they've written for that project, to the point that I'm strongly considering using it in my own (non-3d-printer) projects. Did you write it yourself?
i'm challenging you to do better. how you respond to that challenge is up to you. it also reveals who you are, if you care to self-examine.
No, it's based in SF.
> or is Apple really doing their darndest to get me to buy a new iPad?

It is.

> How is this acceptable?

It isn’t. You wil not only have to buy a new ipad, you’ll also sooner or later have to throw away your old one, despite it being in perfect shape.

Why? Because Apple and other companies in a similar position oppose to right-to-repair legislation and similar concepts, that would allow you to instead run some other os if apple didn’t want to provide further support.
GREAT idea on the teaching part!!!!! I don't mind teaching in general, but I love the idea of asking them first to pay for a book or something before teaching starts!!!
For the life of me, I am unable to add an account to Vivaldi Mail. I am not 100% sure, but I am guessing that the error is "ReferenceError document is not defined".

Edit: after restarting, the message is "Mail client startup failed. Error: Not yet support for changing primary key".
Browsers are actually going the opposite way now, and are locking down access to system fonts beyond a standardized list: https://wicg.github.io/local-font-access/

This is to prevent fingerprinting of users (adding new browser-accessible fonts would sadly mean more accurate fingerprinting)
Why? Coding (by using repos) is by definition is a social experience.
>>I would bet essentially all of my money that instead they're simply incompetent and actually think these tests are good at testing ability.

Probably the same people who think JIRA is a great project management tool :>) - when in fact, it (JIRA/Leetcode) gets used a lot, because it gets used a lot by other people - and for no other good reason.
You're saying all this with the benefit of hindsight. Google is a gibberish name, and upon first hearing it, sounds a bit childish, like baby-speak (goo goo ga ga) or silly (similar to "giggle"). If a company with a name like that can become one of the most valuable companies in the world, it proves the name doesn't matter that much.
This was good for a laugh, thanks. :)
Take breaks as you talk! Pause in silence. Whether you are giving a technical answer, or answering a behavioral/scenario question, make it a conversation with pauses and opportunities for your interviewer to help steer.

As an interviewer, the worst candidates are the ones who just launch into a stream of words, talking and talking and talking with no break. Just a continuous stream of consciousness or memorized prepared pitch. Especially for the really open ended questions! It should be a conversation, not a one-way word salad.

I've had candidates answer the simple "Tell me about your background" question with a continuous 10-minute stream of words. I've more than once had to physically wave my hands and flag them down to stop. I've had a candidate who misheard part of my question and started answering something I never asked, and the candidate never provided an "in" for me to provide a correction and turn them in the right direction. Just non-stop words with no breaks. So many candidates do this. I don't know--are interview prep guides telling them this is a good strategy? It's not!
Apple does seem to be one of those companies that are quite happy with cannibalising themselves. It's probably more important and beneficial long term when users stay within the ecosystem than totally offload themselves to Windows/Linux.
> There's not enough time to do so with batteries alone.

I suggest you run the numbers on this, because I think you have them exactly reversed.

We are increasing battery production capacity 10x every five years. This could be accelerated if there was government investment as is done for every single nuclear reactor. At current rates we expect to produce 20-30TWh/year of lithium ion batteries, not including other chemistries that could be used for stationary storage but not mobile applications.

Currently in the US we are only building 2GW of reactors, but we have ~100GW of reactors quickly reaching retirement age. Even if we scale our current nuclear construction capacity 10x every five years like we do for batteries, and add in the 10 year construction time, we are going to see a big decrease in nuclear before we see an increase.
Agreed on payment structures - I'll get it setup ASAP as an easy doc.

The Apache-2.0 license is a very permissive license and a lot of work is being shared for free here, so I trust people to not take advantage of that and sell Valetudo; especially not as their own work.
Please don’t disappoint me. Thank you.

Not really...the fees for Bitcoin, Ethereum and other L2 options are flat fees and are well under Visa/MC fees most of the time. Might want to look at Western Union and the like too...way way under those fees.

Current transaction fee (for 1 cent or a billion dollars)

Bitcoin - $1.62 per transaction

Ethereum - $3.50 per transaction

Ethereum L2 - as low as 12 cents

https://l2fees.info/

Here are credit card fees by comparison (lowest fees assuming you have high volume):

Visa 1.29% + $0.05

Mastercard 1.29% + $0.05

Discover 1.48% + $0.05

American Express 1.58% + $0.10

Incredibly bizarre to me that the press release doesn't include a link to the product. Especially considering that Cron is already a ubiquitous name for something else entirely.
In general in this type of use, "clever" and "dumb" would better be called "tricky" and "obvious" respectively. Usually people describe very tricky solutions as "clever", and much more obvious solutions as "dumb" jokingly.

For example, storing some flag in the high bits of a pointer field of a struct is a "clever" solution, whereas having a separate bool field is a "dumb" solution. In most cases, the "dumb" solution is much more robust over time (less likely to cause bugs as the code changes and is modified by various people). Of course, the "clever" solution is necessary in some situations (very constrained environment, critical infrastructure such as an object header used for every type etc), but should often be avoided if possible.

What's important is that the way this is often presented is that more experienced people will prefer "dumber" solutions, as experience often shows that long-time maintainability trumps many small losses of efficiency. So using "clever" and "dumb" in this way is not at all intended to put down the engineer writing the more robust version.
A Bright Horizon – Global Premiere of the First Solar Car
The problem I always had with this (and still have) is that you're not asked about the probability (i.e. what trend you expect to see in a string of repeated experiments), but rather you're asked:

"Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?"

Well that depends on where the prize is. If the prize is behind the other door, then yes it's to your advantage to switch. Otherwise, it isn't. How can there be any more to it than that? You're not going to be given the opportunity to play the game 100 times. This is your one shot and the location of the prize is already fixed.

Fluid as in able to easily apply MECE to conversations. I guess being fluid with the application of MECE will lead to more fluent conversations. They both have the same latin root.

edit - updated the GP to make it clear that I was talking about being fluid in applying MECE to a given domain, which could be written or oral.
Yeah it does, it spawns a new thread with separate state per user.
I mean, they’re also, uh, slightly different styles of government.
How do you cope when you are onboarding people?

And how do you keep a semblance of work culture if you’ve never actually met half your team?

This is a real struggle, I feel old when I see myself and just a few other mates coming back to work to have a nice coffee discussion, bouncing around ideas and printing a meme for people to see in the toilets and raise a chuckle. We’ve lost track of 80% of the rest, they only come say hello every 3 or 4 months.
There are people in our dev department (45 heads) that I won’t ever see because we don’t share the same domain.

How do you concile this with 90% of people working remote? Am I that old? (I’m 36)
Well if the host opens a door and it never has a prize behind it they have to know which door has the prize right?
Baseload has several major ingredients: the required continuous consumption, connectivity of areas that are remote from each other where the one has a surplus and the other a deficit, local overcapacity storage options and installed capacity from 'guaranteed' sources (and no source is 100% guaranteed, typically even the most stable sources are down 20 to 40% of the time for maintenance, refueling, repairs and so on).

The required baseload is then further influenced by load variability, and rate-of-change. Not all generation equipment can spin up / down equally fast, and sometimes the effect of for instance a shut-down is that it will take a long time to go back online.

Baseload is a function of a whole interconnected grid rather than of some locality, and this is a big difference between how laypeople see this and how people in the power business see it. It's not as if the electrons that are pushed into a wire in say Southern France need to get all the way to Poland to light a bulb there, all that the various generators do is maintain their local grid by making available enough power locally that lightbulbs in France are served by their local power stations and lightbulbs in Poland are served by theirs. This minimizes transmission losses.

If you have a surplus and the distance is large then with conventional (AC) transmission lines there is an upper limit to how big an area you can serve before the losses make that no longer economical. HVDC has nicer properties for long distance transmission which has some very interesting consequences for baseload: suddenly wind and solar thousands of KM (multiple timezones) away can be used to provide power to some locality, reducing the need for local generation capacity if the price is right.

This revolution is happening right now, the HVDC grid interconnects are shaping up rapidly with more and more of these coming on-line. Especially the longer East-West runs have the possibility to materially affect the amount of fossil/nuclear required for when solar and wind are insufficient, as well as the North-South ones from areas where there is a lot of hydro generation capacity.
To be fair it was a question.

Does that need outweigh outweigh the difficulty of individually tailored ROTC programs for one person? I don't know
Developers aren't just the folk writing the code. They're the folk taking the vague, wishy-washy requirements from a product owner, asking all the right questions to figure out the real requirements, and then writing the code.

I'll worry about job security the day that an AI can figure out what a product owner actually wants. Until then, I'm still the interface between then and whatever fancy AI or low-code/no-code solutions might be around for the last step.
Assuming they're ok with being kept on 24/7, they could become IoT terminals. A 10 years old phone should still have enough horsepower if it contained the bare minimum to load just one program that speaks to the home network, or a mpd remote to play music in the given room, communicate through VoIP with other terminals, etc.
They could be used also in a lab to show data coming from instrumentation, as secondary display for servers etc. Plenty of uses; the only limitation being represented by the roadblocks (binary blobs, lack of documentation, closed drivers etc.) corporations put in place to prevent any further use of those devices that goes beyond what they have planned.
I'm not an expert but I'm a bit skeptical about small nuclear reactor designs.

I want to believe they would be cost effective, but... It doesn't seem there is a prototype that is cheap?
There should be a badge with a very... on-point graphic, for people who contribute to software used in ICE, the US-based concentration camps.
I LIKE that as well!!! Essetially turn the question on its head and ask them instead!!! I'll have to make it not sound sarcastic though.

Ye I'll factor in travel next time
Flowers aren't shipped nationwide. Flowers are ordered nationwide, and delivered by local florists.
The "lie" is the unstated implication that doing these things the ads recommend will serve your own interests, and not just the interests of the advertisers.

"Creating awareness" would be handing out unsolicited facts with a neutral point of view. Most ads are more in the nature of unsolicited and manipulative advice from someone who does not have your best interest in mind.
Usenet is just better in this respect. Nobody says anybody has to use it.
To me the key to understand the problem is paying attention to this detail: Monty knows where the car was so he wasn't just randomly opening A door. He always opened a door that didn't have a car behind it. It's this non-randomness that's giving you more information about the remaining door.
Sure, but they always cite health as being the motivation for such bans.

Out of curiosity, what doesn't work? I've had a few issues where I got logged out, but generally it's been pretty solid since intro.
I would try to reach back to them for help positioning you in a (well earning) junior or mid-level position.

Companies also want that, honestly. Hiring juniors and mid-level is a pain in the ass too.

Someone with a lot of field experience but willingness to learn would be a good fit in lots of companies.

Also lots of companies need people to working with marketing. For this case your skills are far from outdated.

The M1 Pro/Max/Ultra exists right now. If TFA is correct, the M2 versions of those are at least a year away.
A number of those states will be ones that are a net recipient of tax dollars sent by all the states to the Federal government. Many of them in the south. I would be more than happy to see them cut off from any federal funding.
Some apps I've found genuinely useful.

1. A Simple habit tracker

2. Stock Google apps - Calendar, Mail, Maps, Keep, Meet (or whatever it's called now)

3. C25K for running

4. A few investment apps for crypto and stocks

5. Messaging - Signal, Telegram, Whatsapp, Discord

6. Audible - For those long drives

7. NewPipe - A much better Youtube/Spotify client

8. Brave - I try to use sites instead of apps for most things (twitter, Amazon, other shopping, bank etc.)

9. Password Manager

10. Dropbox

With the messaging apps, how you use it can decide whether they're going to kill you or improve your life. Your boundaries need to be especially strong here.
The Lean Product Process: #3 Creating Your Prototype
In our latest article, we described the process of proving problem-solution fit, which you can achieve by:
1.) formulating your value proposition based on the user pain points discovered in the problem validation stage.
2.) testing and tinkering your value proposition until you receive positive reinforcement from your users.

Your next step will be searching for a solution-product fit. As the name implies, you will look to prove that your product efficiently delivers the already validated solution.
If you receive positive feedback for the assumptions above, you can proceed to the last stage of product development, the product-market fit stage.
The rule is "after the player has guessed a door, open ALL the other doors except the door that was guessed plus one other door".

I think your confusion is because if there are 100 doors then the rule is self-evident. But when there are only 3 doors, the rule of "open all doors except the door that was guessed plus one other" is indistinguishable from "open just one door".

The key is knowing that the rule is the "open all..." rule.
The point of opening the 98 doors is to make the math - and the fact that switching doors is safer - more obvious.
>>I just tell recruiters I simply won't. Turned down continuing with an interview process with a company just last week for this reason.

I've done the same - and got hired anyway after I told the recruiter was not interested in taking any tests - just happened to have the right in-demand skills at the right time I guess.
As the OP says, the site in question does not have JetPack installed. And those Automattic domains will copy and serve any media file available at a URL if you call for it.
And let's suppose Texas secedes. An outsized portion of their economy is dependent both directly and indirectly on the US gov't via the military (and defense contractors) and NASA (and related contractors). 99% of that work would leave the state, and even if the employees decided to stay they'd have no income sources which has a great ripple effect on the area (see what happens in the small when factories leave towns).

And other portions of their economy are dependent on being a port (both land and sea) for goods entering and leaving the US, much of which would be redirected to other areas unless US purchasers decide to pay extra costs to import through Texas (unlikely).
This is good advice. You should almost always be talking more slowly and taking more breaks than you want to, if you're nervous. Pause between sentences, and even just try to pronounce words more slowly. You'll seem less nervous, and you'll be less nervous, and as a result of this you will think more clearly as well as have more time to consider what you're saying.
PopOS needs an honorable mention here for the work it's done with pop shell for linux desktop. PopOS has been my daily driver for 3 years, pop shell is icing on the cake. Nvidia drivers baked in too!
Thank you! I was similarly confused.
It depends on if that's the scenario explained, or you have just one example (not knowing if the host will always show a goat, or if the host will sometimes show you a car either intentionally or by accident).
I agree, I had the same thought last year: https://twitter.com/colmanhumphrey/status/139338571650012365.... It still helps but now only a small amount: (99/100)*(1/98) ≈ 0.0101, vs 1/100 without switching
>Commenters occasionally often point out the "red states" are the biggest recipients of welfare in spite of being the ones that vote most against it.

Usually framed as "blue states are paying for the red states' welfare". But this isn't true.

First, the state of California does not pay a cent to another state or to the federal government. It is residents of California that pay federal taxes, which in turn provide funding and services to states and individuals.

Second, the Rockefeller Institute (<https://rockinst.org/issue-areas/fiscal-analysis/balance-of-...>) shows that, as of 2018 (the last time I checked this data; I see that 2019 is now available), the 10 states at the bottom of the per capita list—that is, the states that benefit from the most federal spending per person compared to how much each person pays in federal taxes—are

2016/2020 Hillary/Biden-voting states: VA, NM, MD, HI, 1/2 of ME

2016/2020 Trump-voting states: KY, AK, AL, WV, MS, 1/2 of ME

It's not so much "blue states" as per the above-mentioned claim, but taxpayers of four very wealthy Northeast states (the Tri-State area plus Massachusetts) that account for the vast bulk of citizens paying more than they receive from the federal government. After them come CO, NE, UT, and MN, of which half voted for Hillary/Biden and half for Trump. All other states, including CA, are net beneficiaries of the taxpayers in the top eight (and, again, really, it's the top four).
Oh nahhh thats fine - I do the basic things for free.

I hate it, which is why I don't use it. Ubuntu got the closest for me, but the owner's refusal to allow users to move that taskbar to the bottom of the screen made me give up on it altogether. And unless it's a supported distro, I don't want it. Been burned too many times by pet projects that end up being abandoned.

The other thing is that in all my years of using Windows and MacOS, I have NEVER had an issue where an upgrade borked being able to log into the desktop. This has happened more times than I remember on Linux.
Yes - `DefaultClient` in `net/http` is what the various package level methods operate on. This is constitutionally bad as global state that dependencies can mutate at will during init (or any other time), hence go-cleanhttp [1].
