The writing is on the wall for gender ideologists, as people have started to notice how uninclusive and regressive the whole movement is. Companies are starting to see that pandering to the people obsessed with this stuff is a liability rather an asset.
Does anyone feel like the software architecture design process is messy?
Feels like every company I've seen has a different process, and always all over the place. I see hard to understand diagrams in various places, sometimes even outdated. I also see data models all over the place between services, sometimes held inside an excel sheet. Also there's no standardized system that people actually use (Like UML but I rarely seen it used.) Maybe I'm just at the wrong companies and other companies have it all figured out?
Thanks for this. Now it makes more sense. Interesting that the caff/caff and plac/plac group have levels that are identical for all four measures. As you may have noticed, coffee prices are through the roof now. I've been a heavy coffee drinker for most of my life, so I recently decided to confine it to just one cup in the morning. I'm becoming convinced that the feeling of more energy and wakefulness that caffeine brings is just an illusion. It only last for 10-15 minutes at best but thereafter leaves you feeling depleted and vacant. Also, for the addicted user, that good 10-15 minutes is only a period of relief from feeding the dependence.
That might just be the point ;P
Oil companies routinely and vigorously advocate for subsidies. If oil company owners aren't capitalists then I don't know who is.
Our little one is only 2 and a half, but once she is old enough to see a therapist (I think we have one nearby specializing in children as young as 3) we plan to take her at least once a year. Both my spouse and I have mental illnesses, and we want to keep an eye open for that. Also being a kid is tough! Lots of big emotions and we want her to have someone she can confide in. Probably will increase frequency as she nears and enters her teens.
TikTok workers quit after exec said companies ‘shouldn’t offer maternity leave’
The Earth, who knew. Family moves from temperate climate to the desert, wonders why it's always so hot, must be climate change. The seas are rising, man checks web cams for sea side resorts around the world and photos from the past several decades, no change in sea levels, doesn't fit the narrative, must be wrong.
The Y Combinator in Go with generics
I made a custom graph and while a lot of 55+ have left a lot of 16-24 have also left, so these graphs turned out to not be as convincing to my argument as I thought. Wanted to update if anyone follows this thread!
Trying former heads of state for crimes committed in office is also a norm in countries with an established tradition of democratic governance: france, italy, south korea, germany for example.
That's what people used to say about Postfix vs Sendmail
My favorite feature is KRunner -- a tiny on-screen program launcher, calculator, and dictionary (and more) all in one! :D
Trump attempted a coup. Only US President to ever have resisted the peaceful transfer power. Ignoring it, both-sides-ing it, justifying it, or downplaying it is exactly what should not be done. He broke a sacred trust.
Custom C# static site generator. Built-in localhost site viewer. Markdown-based (edit in VS Code).

When done, I push to Github.
Netlify's webhooks pick it up and auto-deploy by running my site generator (small stand-alone binary kept in the repo).
They then host it with custom domain and TLS for free.

Whole process reduces to: edit the content, run local preview, commit, and push. Moments later it's live.

> Being required to be trusted by at least somebody

That's in no way related to what I wrote and to the concept of trustless is security.
But how does that environment affect who they are? It affects certain measures of happiness, in the short term, but does it affect their long term future?
Its the first company I've shorted without any doubts.
Not all suburbs are complete car dependence. Plenty of kids biked in their suburbs in the '80s and '90s. In the '90s I would alternate between biking and walking to and from a school that was 2.5 miles away. And within that 2.5 miles there was plenty of things for me to do.

Since then, I've lived in about 7 different US suburbs. All had things to do within about 1.5 miles of where I lived, and I wasn't exactly aiming for mobility.

This last year, I walked my kid to elementary school every day. It's a 10 minute walk. My 3 neighbors, whose kids go to the same school, drive them.
More speech! More guns!
I’d cut the Node team some slack, they’ve been doing phenomenally scheduling EOL and LTS support over the years. They’re notifying everyone 1.5 years in advance. They have some of the best backwards compatibility I’ve witnessed in software which means updating will be easy.
You took the right decision given your context.

But the whole matter could have been avoided if you were solving a problem you actually cared about. Then there would have been no doubt if you should or should not invest another year of your time.
Forget Quicksort. What percentage of your CPU time is spent running SIMD-optimized implementations of anything? And what percent of those are upgraded to new SIMD instructions each year? And what real world percentage gains are they getting considering other constraints like memory bandwidth, power, etc? The answers to these questions, multiplied together, put a very small upper bound on the overall benefit of new instructions per year.
AMD, releases CPUs every 2 years, so it's still impressive that in just 1 year Apple can have these gains.
I made the same remark in reply to another comment which used the phrase "factoring primes" :) Wikipedia does use the term "prime factorization": that seems legit to me, as prime is used as an adjective. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_factorization

Also it sounds to me that the gist of the matter is in:

>> Lemoine may have been predestined to believe in LaMDA. He grew up in a conservative Christian family on a small farm in Louisiana, became ordained as a mystic Christian priest, and served in the Army before studying the occult. Inside Google’s anything-goes engineering culture, Lemoine is more of an outlier for being religious, from the South, and standing up for psychology as a respectable science.
I'd say Russia given the current events happening with the war and their in-house censorship efforts which Tor allows to bypass.
Verifying properties of a financial contract in Elixir (question in a forum)
Free speech indeed.
Missed the last 6 years of internet discussions right there mate.
Wow that's really impressive, love the art style.
I don’t think I’m saying anything remotely controversial so I think the correct answer here is “Ok, you’re right.” (To be honest I think this is the correct answer because I believe you to be arguing in good faith and our disagreement is subtle)
Something along these lines:

1: users post about the hearings and start a yarn about Trump not having lost for real, the election being stolen, etc.

2: the web and its brother get up in arms about the fake news being spread on TS

3: TS gets its domain revoked, its web hosting is dropped, backbone providers start dropping traffic to it, the electricity company filters electrons bound for TS servers, etc.

4: TS disappears down the same hole Parler fell in...
To be fair, upgrading Node hasn’t historically been tough.
I grew up in a "nuclear family" and had plenty of regular contact with grandparents, uncles and aunts. Perhaps the American version thereof has more issues, as young people are expected/encouraged to move 1000s of miles from their parent's house to maximize their economic output? Oh, it's just a few hours flight, no worries. In practice, family reunions happen at best once a year.
In the case of bitcoin, isn't Sybil prevented by requiring a majority hash rate? I think I don't understand what attack you're considering in this context.
The world seems more homogeneous now. When I went to Europe in 1985, it seemed like there were so many differences between life in Europe and in the US. Not major ones, but enough that it was an experience. When I went in 2010, everything was more or less the same. The coffee came from Starbucks. The furniture came from Ikea. The change came on both sides of the Atlantic but there was plenty of convergence.
Well, I'm not that picky about the look. I customize the theme, but I don't think about it too much. I use Breeze Dark with PlasmaXDark for window decorations. I also don't think it's looks bad, but that's me.

But the DE, feature-wise, is so great compared to the others that it's like picking between a Volvo, a Model T, and several bicycles for my daily drive. The finish on the Volvo's dashboard is the least of my concerns; I'm just happy it's got AC.
Firefox on Android is ten times more customizable, especially with addons - ads and privacy - iOS/Safari can hide in a hole.
Anyway, the issue here seems to be that somw people think browsers on iOS are good, they're not, especially not against their Android versions

Disagree on that law treating employee as children.
It treats employers as such.

« Oh really company? you can’t have some common sense decency in regard to lunch? Alright, I will spell it out for you »

From the worker side, nobody will come to say anything if you decide to put grease on your keyboard and stain your shirt during lunch time. You are free to do so.
Well, to be also fair, we also want quantum electronics to be deterministic in their behaviour. The difference lies not so much in randomness as in leveraging intrication.
It's my understanding that the many worlds interpretation puts us back on track for a fully deterministic universe, no?
Why can't you overland in Iran today? Seems to be quite a popular tourist destination with many hardcore traveller types.

I really wanted to visit when I was in the region but it ruins the US ESTA waiver for the rest of your life so puts some people in an annoying situation.

Even worse is Iraq, which despite being a western ally sets off the same loss of waiver. At least Iran makes sense and can accept that.
Quantum algorithms analogous to convolutional neural networks are O(log N) instead of O(N), so I'd wager we really do need something like that, or at least some other sort of analog hardware, given how complicated it is to do calculations on a QC.
My understanding was that we don't have the ability to predict collapse, but that doesn't make it nondeterministic. I could be wrong about this, physics is not my field

If there is no connection between wave function collapse and macroscopic biological systems, then that would mean that it doesn't matter. The macroscopic/biochemical world is still deterministic
I personally found peak neuroplasticity at the 4am mark and then sustained flow state at 8am that work wonders for me
I think this quite accurate. I too voted remain. The clever thing the EU did was hide it's deeds from wider observation.

Subsequent to light being shed, i find it to be about the most sinister and vile organisation it is possible to imagine.

Even then, ignoring my personal feelings, it is obvious these people over invested themselves with a fairly inconsequential team and are over compensating for it.

Look at the news on veto removal today. Only a hardcore shill would defend this organisation.
One aspect of shopping malls I feel is vastly underappreciated is how they fulfilled the needs of those of us on the spectrum or who are otherwise antisocial. Shopping malls let us immerse ourselves in socializing people without having any responsibility to engage directly with individuals. I found it quite blissful to be in a crowded space and feel like a social participant without expending any "social battery" to do so. These days I still visit my local mall around Christmas time for the feeling. I find it sad today's teenagers don't get the same experience.
> if there's a huge balloon payment owed at the end, then the Canadian "homeowner" still owes a large amount after 25 or 30 years. So perhaps the next loan is for less, but still a significant amount. In the US, most people do complete their 30 year mortgage and the home really is paid off, although they continue to owe property tax.

There's no difference.

A (first-time) Canadian homebuyer will typically take out a mortgage with an effective 25y amortization term over a 5y locked-in rate. At the end of the 5y, the homeowner who doesn't move will typically "renew" their mortgage for a 20y amortization term at the then-prevailing 5y fixed rate. If rates remain constant, then their monthly payment will be essentially unchanged.

A (first-time) American homebuyer will typically take out a 30y fixed mortgage, with a 30y fixed rate and a 30y amortization period. At the end of 5 years, there is no paperwork to fill out but the mortgage will now have 25y left on its amortization, and the monthly payments will be unchanged.

The main difference is that the US mortgage has a great deal of optionality built-in. An American homeowner can typically prepay the mortgage at any time without penalty, and the most common reasons to do so are to move or to refinance when rates are lower. The Canadian homeowner typically faces a prepayment penalty if they try to refinance before the end of their term.
I like that idea. It pretty much performs the same basic function that LC advocates say that it does -- "Okay maybe it doesn't really measure useful skills, at least not in proportion to how they're actually used, but hey, it at least measures their determination to get the job, and their willingness put up with utter nonsense, which is of course hugely important to us" -- and is much quicker. At at least gets you out of your chair, and your circulatory system refreshed and oxygenated.
I'm wholly capable of climbing stairs, but this idiotic design fad is why I wait for the elevator at the Apple Store.
No, we really don't need more laws governing our behavior, especially at home.

Culturally, I do agree that people should have the opportunity to get mental breaks- things like non-working lunch ought to be as important as any meeting.

Writing it into law just creates more perverse incentives, though. Punishing people who chose to eat at their desk- even if they aren't working!- is asinine and counterproductive.
I have 12-1 blocked on my calendar every day. I will take the rare meeting in that slot (just like I'd take the rare "sit and eat with a colleague on a scheduled rather than ad-hoc basis" while we were in the office), but most days that's a meeting-free hour where I can go make lunch, walk the dog, listen to some music, or whatever suits me.

Blocking your calendar is low-effort and will likely be high-payoff.
i see posts like this a lot on here. Simply linking to a piece of well known software's homepage. Not sure what the motive is behind it
Interesting that the problem was introduced in a major architecture change to external MDAs, invoked with system(), and was specific to mbox format that requires elevated privilege.

I think that I will keep this disabled.
Are the stairs that transparent? Between the steel support and the blue of the glass, can one really see anything of interest?

Specifically is it the material of the stair step that’s the problem or the open stairwell? If the steps were made of marble would there be as much concern? For example if there are no opaque risers in the stair one could see well through the gaps. The same is true of there are no opaque sides to the stairs under the railing.
I don't think you're saying anything remotely _controversial_ either (unsupported is a different matter), and I haven't seen anyone offended or anything, so I hope I didn't give you that idea simply by disproving the hypotheses that "parenting doesn't matter" and the corollaries necessary for that narrowly-held hypothesis to be true.
And the only reason to use a stablecoins is to obscure your financial transaction.
Exactly the dictionary's definition: "a part or quantity that is left after the greater part has been used, removed, or destroyed".

Following the Chinese Civil War the communists took over the whole of China except the province of Taiwan where the government withdrew.
No. As long as there is a mechanism for adding new identities to the system, (presumably you want this, because people can be born), people can disguise themselves as new people. This is not trivial to accomplish, but there's no law of nature preventing you from growing a remote control infant should the need arise. It's certainly impractical, but new people are legitimately allowed to enter the system, and there's no way to establish that someone does not know something (in this case knowing something would be the RC baby actually being me, I know how to say goo goo ga ga, and you can't prove I know more than that).

That's obviously a silly example, but the point is that soulbinding isn't a cryptographic primitive. There's just no such thing. Not only is non-dystopian identity impossible, No amount of dystopia will change this. Even a totally authenticated system is vulnerable to the "Add a new person that I control" attack. It's not current technology, but it's also not science fiction, and in simple fact, a lesser version of this attack happens all the time. People who have more kids get more representation in government. I don't think that we should totally ignore this effect, but it's certainly useful to mostly ignore it.

Anyway, there is no way to establish a sophisticated adversary's unique identity and also allow new identities to be created based on phenomena external to the system.
I'm actually a geophysicist and I understand that the glass doesn't flow. As I read the article and thought of the potential implications I was reminded of the old cartoon where the middle-aged man with a beer gut or paunch sees an attractive woman approaching so he stiffens his back, stands up straight and puffs out his chest as she passes so he can appear younger and more fit and virile. Once she has passed he lets gravity take control again.

I set up that scenario (or joke as has been noted by another reply) with the idea that detecting a middle-aged spread in an old window like that would be nearly impossible if the stained glass used to create the image, Jesus in this case, was constructed from a series of small pieces of glass constrained by a framework of lead caming as is used in stained glass construction. In this case, all the flow, if it occurred at all would be constrained at multiple points in the framework so that the image would remain nearly identical over the aeons as long as the framework existed in good condition.

However, if glass did indeed flow and if that flow was detectable over the few hundred years that have passed since those cathedrals were constructed and also if each window was made from a single sheet of this glass with an image painted on the glass - then the image itself could be expected to exhibit noticeable changes over significant time periods and it would naturally follow that young Jesus would eventually become middle-aged Jesus with a paunch, like the guy in the cartoon.

It was late at the time and my mind was wandering again, punching at the lines while trying to leak some color to the outside.
You’re getting downvoted a lot so I thought I’d provide an explanation: Yes, trumped-up charges do happen in other countries. The question is, how do you think such offences as are being described should be handled? What would your alternative strategy be?
But that seems to be more of a feeling of being left out. So, it leads naturally to feelings of alienation. I suspect you could have felt a sense of belonging with other like-minded teens in the area. Of course, an enforced poverty on people would be absurd. I said it just to point out the source of the alienation is not material deprivation.
The reality is that as you move up the social hierarchy in modern human society, trust tends to vanish and is ultimately viewed as something only a rube would rely on. This is why contract law exists, doesn't it?

For example, in the upper tiers of corporations all employment is on a contract basis. Nobody at these levels trusts they will be treated fairly and given a severance package if they are fired, without an explicit contract stating the terms and conditions of employment. Contracts are renewed or renegotiated every few years, right? In contrast, entry-level employees never get contracts, they can be fired at will with no warning or severance, at least in the United States where union power is very limited, relative to Europe.

Similarly, look at the prevalence of marital contracts that imply a lack of trust among the parties, i.e. the famous pre-nuptial agreement regarding how the net wealth of the couple will be divided up in the event of a divorce. There's a zero-trust situation that's increasingly common.

It's true that a society where nobody trusts anyone else and all are suspicious of each other's motives is not a very healthy society, but isn't this also the assumption of the economic theorists who claim all humans are basically little more than rational autonomous self-improving algorithms, with net assets being the benchmark of success?
I suspect Putin would hand someone over from Russia for the right price; Snowden currently provides more value to Russia by annoying the US than he would handed over.
I feel bad for him, as he's going to generate a lot of ill will towards himself in his twilight years. He seems to have bitten off more than he can chew and really exposed himself, to the point that his own daughter seems to be distancing herself from him.

He could have had a great life as the big shot face of The Apprentice, and be fondly remembered for his "YOU'RE FIRED" catch phrase. Instead, he seems to be turning into more of a joke with every passing day. It must trouble him a bit too. SAD.

Yeah, visual-enhancing mods is in this case the reason I would like something beyond my laptop integrated GPU.
> It's completely feasible, from a programming standpoint, to imagine an architecture where each core has its own private RAM, the cores communicate through perfectly reliable IPC, and the device runs applications written in a successor to the distributed computing technology being developed now.

It is called processing in memory. What you have described was actually inverted. Instead of giving each core private RAM, you give each RAM chip a CPU core.
You are lawful
Transmission was great back when I used it. For Windows users there’s now WebTorrent, which has a similar UI (but a much more compact feature set)
