> I've come to realise it seems to be used just to refer to someone who can do their job without an excess amount of handholding.

Being competent enough to work independently is an extremely low bar for the distinction of being a senior in your field.

In most other industries that just means you’re not a trainee any longer.

For example my wife just entered the medical field doing administrative work. She’ll be a trainee for a full year. It will be a decade or more before she’ll be qualified to be in any sort of senior role.

I mean at the end of the day I don’t feel that strongly about it, but the problem is that when titles become meaningless it’s very hard to for example, communicate what role you’re hiring for, or who the right person to lead a new project is.
The huge issue with all kind of military movies and stories is their relationship with what it means to be a man today.

Society has a certain set of expectations what men should be: Self sufficient, independent, strong, unfazed by tragedy, violence and struggle, constantly operational, hard working, putting others before yourself, stoic, ... Naturally these expectations collide with reality at some point or another. Naturally no man will feel like they meet that standard all the time, and even if they did, it might just be that it makes them unhappy to be like this.

The stories we like are often a reflection of who we like to be and which world we want to be prepared for. Imagine yourself to be an powerful fighter, an witty hero, the one who turns the tide is an old fantasy, and a powerful one. And those falling the easiest for these fantasy are typically those who struggle with their role as a man in the society they live in. Not feeling like a man, they try hard to imitate the things they think real men consist of. The easiest being carrying a weapon. The whole culture that developed around weapons is testament of that. People often say guns and rifles are "just a tool" — but you don't often see people posing on facebook pictures with a saw, a hammer or a screwdriver for some reason. So why do people feel the need to show that a weapon is part of their identity? It makes them feel like a man. Or at least: nobody can now question they are indeed a man, because everybody knows: The manliest thing there is, is a guy with a gun. But is it really?

Movies like these play into that unfulfilled need to feel like a man. They give men the idea there could be a meaning behind the meaningless, so they just carry on and do their thing. I don't think anyone in Jollywood has ill intentions when feeding those needs. There is an audience and they cater to it, with the side effect of strengthening the somewhat weird believe that wielding a weapon is what makes or breaks your gender identity. I have never really worried about being a man. Those who really do worry will call out other men as feminin or gay. Not being a man is their worst fear. And now they define a man ex negativo as the opposite of everything they think is feminin. Not a free man, but someone defined by the pressures of society.

For me as an man I see movies like these as a chance to reflect on what I think a man should or could be. And where I beg to differ with the rest of society on that topic.
People will reflexively see virtualization and figure it means noticeable hit in performance.

Unfortunately many Windows users and developers are unaware their "Desktop" becomes a VM on Hyper-V installation.

I see it all the time when people start arguing "type-1" vs "type-2" hypervisors.

Usually if they have some experience with Xen comparing it to a Dom0 helps, but understandably people usually first compare it to VirtualBox because the process is opaque.
I think this is a stupid thing. Repurposing a commonly used connector for other things to reuse cheap connectors and cables is something that is usually done in the electronic industry (e.g. my oscilloscope use an HDMI socket for the logic analyzer input, you have plenty of lines and the connector is cheap and good). It's not uncommon to design a board and use type-C only for power (5V input, without the circuitry to handle power delivery, so you must connect a suitable power supply) or for other things (TTL serial data).

> Fake USB-C cables like Nintendo's that have the right shape but do not adhere to spec should gradually disappear along with lightning cables

Which spec? There are a multitude of them! What we do, adhere all to the best spec and to only feed 5V power to a device (that could be done with 2 wires) require the same cable used to connect a thunderbolt device at 40Gb/s? Of course not, since the first one costs a couple of dollars, the second one tens of dollars, the first one can be as long as voltage drop permits it to be, the second one needs to be maximum 1 meter, the first one needs no shielding at all, the second one needs to be heavily shielded, that not only increases cost but makes it bulkier. And again, does a data cable that is used for thunderbolt connection (assuming that the thunderbolt device is externally powered) be designed to carry the full 5A of the spec? 5A is a lot of current, it will require bigger conductors, but for a data cable it doesn't make sense!

Type-C is a standard that makes to me not a lot of sense: they wanted to create the one connector that fits all, while in the past they designed different connector, one for each device, not because they wanted you to buy more cables but to avoid confusion in customers, if the cable fits it works I used to say back in the day, the VGA connector was physically different from a serial port, the PS2 connector was not the same as a parallel port, even if they could have done everything with one port they didn't.
Yes SEO is very much a thing. We are in a very crowded space (who isn't these days) and got one of our articles that was written about 5-6 months ago now appearing in top 5 results on Page 1 for that keyword which has decent volume. So it is definitely possible. But we didn't just SEO it. We actually wrote really good quality content with lot of valuable information and google is smart enough to rank it well after a few months.

So, the trick is to be patient and do quality work. It will show.
The one that always comes to mind for me is NCIS which has been running for a gazillion seasons and I think it did a lot to normalize and glorify surveillance with its "let's hack into the computer / hijack the home cameras of the perp" plot device that's been in virtually every crime TV show ever since. (and seemingly always coughs up the correct suspect)

130k might correspond to just 3.25 million a year with a 4% withdrawal rate. While this is a nice nest egg, it's hardly ridiculous levels of wealth.

4% is often considered a 'safe' rate of withdrawal in retirement.

You missed the "almost".

The vast majority of use-cases and users barely care about encoding performance. Your use is in the tiny minority. That isn't to say that you don't have a use-case, just that because of how rarely encoding speed matters, it truly is "almost irrelevant" for 99.99% of users 99.99% of the time.

--------------

It definitely would be nice if JPEG-XL also had good encoding performance, though. There's an experimental fast encoder in development currently[1], although before that lands, it would be nice if your scanning tool supported a workflow somewhat like "scan in parallel with image encoding, present encoded images to user, and allow them to asynchronously go back and re-scan/encode/review pages that came out badly".

You're right. I thought your comment was replying that in current implementations (not in the context of QUIC), the NATed peer wouldn't need STUN anyways, as of today. I had lost the context of it referring to an hypothetical implementarion over QUIC.
The FAA is an agency within the DOT, under the executive branch, answerable to the legislative and judicial branches. Congress has pretty significant supervision legislatively and budgeting-wise.

Presumably GABI has talked to some congressional reps. So the question is: why aren't they lighting a fire under the FAA's ass to at least follow their own regulations? This seems more than worthy of a congressional hearing. Frankly, AOPA should have demanded as much, but they're probably too worried about pissing off Lycoming and Continental.

GABI also has the option to pursue redress via the courts. I don't know whether they've attempted to do so or not.
> To me it's this, Linux and it's distribution mechanism is skewed towards servers, and IT since that's where most of it's installed base is.

It's not just servers—not having a very capable, standard, base set of packages to rely on for a workstation-targeting release (say, of GUI programs) is a huge problem. Instead, distros differ wildly on what they provide, users may have different versions of packages or even entirely different programs or libraries (the entire window server may differ!) serving similar purposes, some libs may simply be absent, et c. This is kinda OK if you stick to running software your distro bundles and only at the official version for your release of the distro, but quickly becomes hell (for the people packaging your programs, if not for you) as soon as you step outside that.

This is why you see a lot of companies that support Linux for their commercial software being very specific about supporting e.g. only one or two distros, at some very limited set of versions. It's very hard to support "Linux" in general, especially for desktop-targeting software, because the Linux GUI and multimedia stacks are... well, they're a shitshow, frankly.
The delegation of authority from Congress to the FAA doesn't stop Congress from telling the FAA what to do. Congress can still pass, and has passed, legislation directing the FAA to take specific action on specific matters, and there's absolutely nothing the FAA can do about it other than comply. Congress can absolutely step in here if it wants to.
What about backups? Every time I play an MP3 my backup program should re-backup the entire multi-Meg file because a single byte changed?

I like having a play account, but that does not seem like a good solution at all.
Is that really true though? Do you have an example of bureaucratic ossification leading to a mafia state? Is there evidence that is how any mafia or mafia state has arises? Is there any evidence that bureaucracy has played a role in a revolution or was a causal factor?
Nah, my anxiety spiked because the guy who tried to kill me keeps showing up in the best spots to study.

I purposefully bought some food so I can stay in a bit, but anytime I say something like that, if I end up going out again shortly after people react like they aren't literally stalking me in a stand your ground state.

(Though someone could argue I'm on a bad caffeine trip, but sometimes a bunch of caffeine + ibuprofen is the only thing that helps a bad stress headache, I have no idea if it's a placebo or a physical effect though.)

Hi Dan –– this is definitely not true. Enphase offers long-dated warranties of up to 25 years on its systems and equipment. This comes as the dividend of serious work on hardware and software quality.[1]

Opening an app certainly isn't necessary to maintain the warranty.

Someone from the company will reach out to you to clarify/remediate/collect more information.

> Beer $50

That's 28 bottles of Molson (https://www.thebeerstore.ca/beers/molson-canadian). Hope you're sharing!

> Park Pass $59 x 2 = $120

Isn't that park pass enough for a whole year's camping?

> Hours of work = 25 hours

25 hours is a full work week in Canada?

> Gas $100

That seems like the big one.
> To be honest you're splitting hairs, and in practice it doesn't make any difference.

This seems like a (probably unintentional, and partly due to my lack of specificity) straw man. The spectrum doesn't range from Australia to Canada, considering both offer a single payer system that covers a good amount of care, but rather from something like Switzerland to the UK/Nordics.

> You live in the country, you get healthcare without paying a cent out of pocket.

This is far from true in several/many of these systems, which was the point I was trying to make, but again I do believe I could have been clearer about this. My point was just that plenty of countries have healthcare systems that work well while spending money on health insurers rather than just on healthcare.
Indeed! For one of the my images, which had lots of non-linear gradients and shadows (an app icon), an optimized (with the best algorithm using ImageOptim) 457 KB PNG got compressed to 36 KB WebP (lossless, of course).
You know, I think in the back of my head I probably thought that, but it still just gave me the heebie-jeebies.
Well, in a way it is a form of swap (just a program-controlled one over an automatic), to tell it to save its state because it is gonna be killed. And to be honest, it is a very fair way of working that should be moved to the desktop as well (plenty of apps have no reason to run in the background - though memory eviction is not needed there when ample memory is available).

Also, sorry to be pedantic but reference counting is a garbage collector algorithm, but I do understand what you mean here (RC needs less memory at the price of not being able to defer work to a concurrent thread)
How do you handle payment and taxing?
Maybe in Euros. Otherwise, I'll believe it when I see it. China's handling of its economy has not been stellar and I don't know that folks will be in a hurry to use RMB.

There's lots wrong with the dollar (or even the Euro), but... the alternatives aren't so great either.
It's not anyone's business what kind of phone I buy. If chargers pollute so much, just tax them and be done with it.

I'll add to kukx's reason the fact that I can't access some websites anymore because who wants to spend time with bureaucracy so that the website is 100% compliant with GDPR?
Absolutely not. Fuel approval is an engineering matter, not a political one.
I don't know that the number of times a track is started would have any perceptible impact on an SSD, especially given the small size of the write (much smaller then, eg., a game save). I do think it would be cute to have an old rip of my favorite ambient YouTube mix that has accumulated hundreds of plays, even if that count isn't synced between devices (it'd accumulate them on whichever device I actually played it off of), and that that sort of passive, local scrobbing is worth at least as much enjoyment as a small game save.
To be fair, I think Umbrel has a very different consumer story: Since it has a much stronger crypto focus, it is targeting consumers much more likely to spend (crypto)money, I think, than the average consumer.

And a key difference is that Cloudron and Umbrel may monetize selfhosters, which I believe Sandstorm did not endeavor to do at all.
It can also be looked at from a different perspective: more rich people moving in == more customers for products and services == more jobs and money for locals too.
Right? Doesn't even have a distinctive name to work with.
The OP expresses exactly why on their site.

Let's assume you didn't read their site though. Why not?
>This is not different to what is being described in TFA -- you do discuss with the interview in order to reach the solution

It's very different. If the interviewer already knows the answer and is careful not to give it away, it creates an artificially adversarial process that is completely divorced from the reality of the job.

Working together to solve a common problem is a much more accurate work sample test.

>if you just lash out the solution without revealing your thinking process, many interviewers get disappointed and may throw you another problem.

Knowing the answer upfront makes it much easier to explain your thought process in a way that makes you look smart. Many (most?) companies doing leetcode interviews are more interested in you correctly solving x number of medium-hard problems than they are in hearing how you think.

>They are also not very fair -- they are skewed towards people with more free time at home

That's why I've given them as one alternative among several.

>so you have do the whiteboard discussion afterwards.

You can talk to them about the problem and ask them to explain their decisions. Also if someone cheats and the result is that you hire a fake programmer, fire them.

>this is practically the opposite of fairness

Leetcode interviews aren't more "fair" they just test a different skill than other types of interviews. The hope is that the skill they test is more correlated with job performance than other types of interviews. I don't think that's true.
I wonder how much could be achieved just using a vector format with basic programming constructs like for loops.
I donno. I am looking for a simpler solution on top of AWS that abstracts away setting up the services with configuration but doesn't necessarily use containers for everything and def. not Kubernetes.

Is this not desirable for others ? All the solutions that I see are focussed on containerizing (I get that to an extent). But I would personally want a service on top of AWS that abstracts away setting up EC2, load balancers, auto scaling, RDS etc etc. Does it have to be kubernetes ?
> In my experience trying to get photographers to use Darktable, the xmp files are their main complaint.

I remember Adobe Bridge would do this as well. I only used Bridge for a short while during the Creative Suite 2 era, so I don’t know if Bridge does this still or not.

Here’s an old thread from 2005 on a forum site where some people discuss the xmp files created by Bridge. https://forum.luminous-landscape.com/index.php?topic=9151

The first version of Bridge was released earlier that same year [1], as part of Creative Suite 2, so the discussion in the above thread is about that same version of Bridge for sure. The next version of Bridge came a couple of years later, in 2007 as part of CS3. I also remember that prior to the release of Bridge 1.0 as part of CS2, there was a public beta version of Bridge that I tested, which was pretty much the same as the eventual version that was released as part of CS2.

“Let me make cars. You stick to making tractors.” - Enzo Ferrari to Ferruccio Lamborghini. That's got to be an all time top 10 customer support fail. But, after that, it's how many owners for Lamborghini the car company, until AUDI AG? Maybe tractors are not so bad.

The wonder for me is the meanings of the names of the different models. "Countach" apparently sounds like "wow" in Italian. "Diablo", ok. Gallardo is after a fighting bull. Aventador is after another fighting bull. Urus, after aurochs, really big bull predecessors. Murcielago is bat, but maybe that's bull bats.

Interesting! I will bookmark this, thanks for the scientific name.

People often smoke a whole pack though (20 cigarettes, I think a gram in each?)

Probably better to make it legal to buy just one.

I used to bum them when drinking, or sometimes buy a pack, smoke two, and trade the rest for someone to put a beer on their credit card. They were usually getting a good deal since I'd have an American brand...

I didn't like how some people would load up at a duty free store and sell at a profit or stretch the definition of friends and family for gifting purposes, I try to just get one or two of something, use it, and maybe trade a bit of the extra for something else that's hard to obtain.
In another generation, cars will be self driving and this will just be a code change.
> The name “Countach”? It is pronounced coon-tasch and simply means "wow" in Italian.

In the dialect of the place, not in Italian (I'm Italian.) I learned the origin of the name a few years ago. I always thought it was an English word or something and always mispronounced it.
Whenever I see "qualia" being discussed I just roll my eyes.

Asking whether a CPU can experience qualia is kind of like asking if atoms can experience anything. The CPU is just the substrate on which software runs.

Looks great on first look, but on closer inspection saw that it's written in pure JavaScript (0% TypeScript) + Bash. Honestly makes me a bit worried about security. Now, I'm not so thrilled about it anymore...
I wouldn't say it's that odd - Purity is one of the largest defining differences between Scheme and Common Lisp. To the point where the Lisp family of languages can be defined by whether it takes after one or the other by its level of purity.
You can jail a person but the contract or message they deployed, which may include private encrypted information or even be a fully fledged blockchain application, is still accessible and functioning as it was before. That is the point of the ledger being censorship-resistant, and it’s a different model than trusting a small handful of node operators.

PoW and PoS may rely on speculative valuation of the token but they aren’t really like PoA at all. The whole concept is that they are permissionless, as opposed to permissioned.

But anyways we have three options: PoW, PoS, PoA. And there are crypto currencies and blockchains for each of those. PoA tends to secure the least amount of value as it’s generally seen as less secure, less censorship-resistant, and less distributed.

you should use NIfTI, which is the de facto standard for 3D medical imaging.

Lightning cables don't last. They are a complete disaster. And that's not even considering how a little bit of dust can prevent your device from charging at all, and lightning ports are a complete dust magnet.

But the best argument against "what about lightning?" is the fact that Apple themselves don't use it on their higher powered devices like macs, and use USB-C instead.
