I don't believe this is true. I'm merely calling out the lack of detail on methodology of this "study". They are already pretty explicit that this isn't a true random sample, but I'd like more info on how. For all I know, this study was done on CharityRx's own website, which presumably caters to people who are less likely to be able to afford insulin in the first place.

I'm not in any way saying insulin prices aren't an issue, but at the same time, I don't think misleading headlines are helpful either.
I've worked on react apps where some features use different routers, state stores and component syntax. Angular gives you 2 ways to solve problems and keeps things consistent and on the rails.
My swag lesson: everyone likes bottle openers! But international travellers can't take pointy/blady things back in hand luggage. I had a lot of those things left over after that show.
The interesting thing about planning is that NIMBYs will insist that a years long planning process is required, right up until the point one is completed saying how a bunch more housing can be added. Then all of a sudden they insist that the plan was flawed and the whole process needs to go back to the drawing board

We've all had our fair share of encountering dishonest interviewees/resumes.
Regarding games "feeling hard" - I don't think video games would have survived and flourished so well if they were all so easy that you could plop a quarter in and just start playing.

And even then, easy was in the eye of the beholder. As a kid, i lost a lot of quarters wondering wth was going on in game and Atari had more bad games than good games. To think i paid $60 USD for Pole Position back in the day. I'd take Forza anyday over that old road wiggle experience.
How did all those whole generations of parents and grandparents lost their houses and who took those houses?
I ended up writing a huge wall of text for this, but realized it was too much. The article I think makes too many proclamations without supporting a single one with logic or evidence, and I'm not really interested in articles that put the onus on me to justify the author. Most everything from the article seems to be lifted from the following article, but rephrased without nearly as much justification: https://infrequently.org/2022/06/apple-is-not-defending-brow...

And the main thing that stands out to me on the above linked article and the parent article is the focus on WebApps (PWAs) or other restrictions Apple puts on iOS.

To which I say "good riddance, toss it out with the rest of the trash", cause I don't need every single website having that much access to my phone and especially notifications. Even on MacOS, the defaults for what can and cannot send notifications are insane and very frustrating, and the less said about Android the better; I don't even use that many apps on my android phone and I'm tired of the countless notifications to dismiss every morning that are just absolute spam. The lack of granularity means that I can't really pick if my delivery app only triggers notifications for actual deliveries versus just random spam notifications; it's either a few useful notifications during a transaction I care about once or twice a week along with dozens of notifications a week, or no notifications at all. The Calendar app default on my phone tries to spam notifications to get me to use it. Notifications have become heavily abused by developers and I absolutely don't trust them at all to use Notifications responsibly. Apple limiting what developers can do here, even if it's just laziness on Apple's part, is a huge relief for me.

The main issue I have with WebApps is the annoyance factor and the presumption that I have any intention of maintaining constant interaction with a site for more than a few minutes. Websites for me are an information portal and in the case of forums, a slow communication medium. The idea that I want to visit a site perpetually and constantly is really foreign for me, and the software that I might visit frequently such as Instagram or TikTok for just some temporary amusement, it seems that the website version gives exactly what I want pretty fast without the need for a WebApp and its limitations. I _like_ websites because at least with Firefox I can control the content I see with µblock and other extensions. Once it's in a webapp, I'm at the mercy of whatever fancy the developer has. I don't get the benefits of a full app, I don't get the flexibility of a browser and its features/extensions, it's whatever the webdevs decided as best I can tell (accessibility features can pack it up and go home) and you just get a barebones web browser with all of the strength of browsers stripped out.

Funny enough, MacOS had webapp widgets since as long as widgets existed on MacOS (when it was still OS X), and frankly speaking I don't think anyone ever used them. I thought it would be cool when I first saw the feature, but quickly realized how much I missed the browser features that made the web bearable.

Hopefully others follow suit. The $125 that the places near me put on hold isn't enough to fill my tank anymore.
I am really struggling to understand your pov. I can throw together a whole app in asp.net MVC in days that takes weeks with react. Adding that extra layer of complexity of an API and duping the models adds a ton of work on top of everything.

But on top of that with C# and razor you've got strongly typed intellisense that just works which means rapidly building the templates which you just cannot achieve when making a spa.
This is my experience as well. The SPA works best when the application is doing a bunch of stuff on the client side. If it has to make a bunch of trips back to the server, it's going to be a headache to debug.

To me, it's not a matter of performance one way or the other (server lag vs. overweight client). I'll deal with those issues when I come to them. What I care about is the ago-old problem of cohesion and coupling. I want the user-facing stuff in one place so that I can write and maintain it, closely cohering to itself and loosely coupled to the other parts of the system.
The unpersuasive argument is "you (second-to-publish-person) copied my stupendous idea to get your derivative result".
What’s the use case? What are the timestamps for? Which it what determines where a timestamp is set? Do you need transcription as well? How is the recording being used afterwards?
The Bus Ticket Theory of Genius (2019)
One thing that has worked for me in the past is to do some regularly scheduled pair programming. When I'm driving I narrate my thought process and encourage questions. They get to see things and when I make a little typo and they can catch it, not only does it save me a few seconds but it makes them feel GREAT that they helped the senior dev. Making this highly interactive and the senior driving FIRST makes it still "fun" when the junior is in the driver's seat.

One of the biggest skills you're helping a junior to learn is how to break apart a big task into small, workable components. Maybe they are assigned a user story, but that user story is going to need multiple functions written, or something like that. So you might start with pseudo-coding or creating the interfaces together, talk high level about how a particular method should work, and then let them do that part by themself. "Let me know if you get stuck or done with that and then let's do a little informal code review."

Beyond that it's the normal management stuff of compliment sandwich on negative feedback, etc. The normal things you do to build and maintain rapport with coworkers.
It depends on what the person was trying to accomplish in their first week of using Linux. Did they see a certification book for LPIC or Linux+ and get interested to go through it? They will for sure hit these commands in the first week of using Linux than.

Using Linux for objectives that are not Linux administration you will probably not hit these commands. You probably won't be dealing with the partitioning of your hard disk if you use a graphical installer and let it partition things automatically. That knocks - fdisk, gparted, parted, lsblk, and blkid off the list.

I wouldn't even expect someone that uses Linux as an alternative to Windows to use ps, netstat, or top. I would expect them to encounter the package management commands though: apt, pacman, yum, dnf.
China will depopulate >50% by 2100 (conservatively) and we’re still worrying about mid 20th century concepts like carrying capacities as if we aren’t a highly advanced (and depopulating) tool making species entirely capable of creating ecosystems wholesale and affecting said capacities.

Sure, we all have different risk tolerances, but if you're actively avoiding The Bean, I don't think risk tolerance can be the primary factor. What has led you to believe the area surrounding The Bean is so risky?
Why ? You're not living forever - and nobody is arguing for high fertility rates. Having 2-3 kids per generation sounds perfectly sustainable. 0 or 1 does not.
GP states they have no ability to get a +1 while living with parents.

I assume that if GP had a well paid job, they would move out to separate flat, rather than move parents into bigger flat. Wouldn’t you?
These sound like hypothetical scenarios. Do you have some real world examples?
I mean yes, tiny bits from the occupied territories which lost probably over 80% of their economic output (people are boiling water from puddles in Mariupol, do you think they will have a good harvest around there). In other areas they do use various types of PGMs to target foodstuff storage, as well as blockading the port in Odessa.

Sorry, but this is an attempt to cause another wave of people sinking on their way from Africa somewhere in the Mediterranean on crappy boats. That will surely make western EU governments feel the pressure.
So many things wrong with this. First, making all your policy decisions around maximizing reproduction seems really myopic. Many places are overpopulated and straining global infrastructure. And regulations keep people safe—what does it matter if I have four kids if two of them die from lead poisoning?
>I personally know multiple people doing this full time at large tech companies.

The failure mode of internal "ethical" control at private enterprises is well-known and has already played out (at least) once when we tried to regulate medical experiments in the 2 decades after WW2.
I personally consider the current AI safety positions to be just blatant whitewashing. The lemoine fiasco is a specifically hilarious case in point combining both a) a person that is utterly incompetent and biased to work at that position and b) total failure of leadership to adequately engage with an issue (or even admit it's possible in principle).
At the current point, AI safety is roughly as useful as tobacco lobbying (exaggerated for effect).
My ex. She won't leave me alone. We do have a kid together, but it's a bit over-the-top.

I can't post anything online under my real name (her mission in life is to protect the universe from me). If she finds out I'm associating with anyone, she'll try to network in to warn them off. Everyone in my life has been told that I'm abusive in some way or another. There's random harassment litigation. It's boundless. She just emailed me today saying she sent over a hundred bucks to some random political organization in my home country, which is invariably part of some convoluted scheme. She's broken into my computers before. Etc. She's smart, and there's never quite enough evidence for a restraining order or similar legal channels (and she's a much better communicator than I am; everyone believes her).

She divorced me, but she won't leave me alone.

Dealing with her nonsense is like a full time job.
They don’t need to. They’re perfectly capable to statically analysing an app binary and looking for calls to APIs app aren’t allowed to use, or containing CPU instructions that are potentially dangerous.

We know this because when dev submit apps that call private APIs they get very quick rejection. But hiding private API call behind obfuscated blobs of dynamic code can get you through app review, provided you don’t expose the functionality in your UI.

Additionally the modern App Store deployment process involves uploading you app in an intermediate format, only partially compiled, so apple can dynamically recompile your app to target new CPUs, and optimism your app to use new hardware without intervention by the dev.

Your step 1 is enough for URLs to be indexed. Even a well-behaved search engine does not need to visit your site to index a URL, including whatever anchor text pointed at it.

If the crawler does then visit your site, it will see your robots.txt and (if well-behaved) obey it and not crawl the contents of the page at that URL. But this does not mean it will remove the URL itself from its index.

Again: robots.txt is intended to control crawler behavior, not search index visibility.

Google's page is a pretty good overview of this distinction:

In a 50 min test with 10 min MCQs and two timed questions, where one question is a ICPC derivative question & the other one is refactor a pseudocode similar to MUMPS language, what CS talent is it exactly testing?

I don't mind writing MUMPS if I was hired, but the test is not my ability of understanding MUMPS-styled syntax or predicting the win percentage in some chess layouts without using MCTS.
Some developers prefer generating HTML in server side logic using server side templating tech. (Rails. C#/Razor) So when that is the case, the only benefit of SPA is avoiding a page refresh.
Another great resources is https://operatorhub.io/ which lets you search by certain parameters; as well as https://dok.community/landscape/.
I'm disappointed they are deprecating the non-cone sparse-checkout style. Even if it messes with sparse indices, on Windows all my git operations are almost entirely dominated by individual file operations, not CPU or index operations.

> What are the advantages of using angular right now?

A low total cost of ownership compared to other frameworks because:

- The code for every Angular project is structured the same way

- The code for components (and directives, services, etc.) is generally very readable

- Everything is easy(ish) to test

- 280k Stack Overflow questions, vs 95k for Vue and 19k for Next

And ease of hiring due to 170k Angular developers in the US (per Sales Navigator), as opposed to 50k for Vue.js and 48k for Next.js

And in general Angular seems much easier to learn. If you spend 20 hours watching the Udemy course then you pretty much know it, whereas I regularly see job ads looking for folks with 6+ years of React experience. Now obviously you always hear about job ads looking for folks with 10 years of experience with some technology that's been around for two years, and yet I rarely come across Angular job ads that implicitly assume it takes multiple years to learn how to use the framework correctly.
People complaining about interviews should be more explicit about the companies they interviewed for. It might not be a FAANG company, but what if it's a database company? Or an MLOps company? Or even a gaming company. They need SWE with good algorithm and data structure skills too.
In C, NULL is always 0. Or, more correctly, the constant ‘0’ in a pointer context is always the NULL pointer. It’s then up to the compiler to convert the NULL pointer to the actual memory address constant used for the current architecture. From pure C code, the NULL pointer will always appear to == 0, and you should never be able to tell otherwise.
I see that the JavaScript package is at [1] and it's implemented by compiling the Rust code to WASM. That should eventually make it pretty easy to run it.

It has a typescript definition file, but it looks like it's autogenerated and a bit clunky. You get back a CompileResult and have to call free() explicitly, it seems? That doesn't seem very idiomatic for JavaScript.

Also, the links to the documentation and examples in the README are broken.

It's a trade off. On one hand you don't want customers to be forced into making two transactions, but on the other you don't want to tie up $150 of a customer's cash , which can be especially bad if they're living paycheck to paycheck and only have a few hundred in the bank account.
The property acquired before marriage is yours after divorce. The split part are properties acquired during marriage, unless you have prenup that says otherwise for some reason.

That has zero to do with whether it is safe to move into in-laws house when you are entering vulnerable period of pregnancy and being primary caregiver for small kids. Because both severely limit your economic options even in best conditions.
Good point. And a good add application if Chesterton’s Fence as well.
It's not just a Ponzi scheme due to population growth pressure and the old cashing out. It's also a Ponzi scheme because younger folks are literally paying for the older folks through taxation. Low interest rates also disincentivize saving while subsidizing the accumulation of debt, and spurring more investment into asset classes (land and stocks mostly). This creates a Ponzi like effect where in as long as people keep responding to the incentives, number goes up.

A population drop implodes all of it. Of course, presently, it may already be collapsing. When it does, I don't think that the Fed is going to respond by tightening and letting things correct to a healthier slow growth sustainable economy funded through real savings and value production. They will most likely immediately attempt to reinflate the bubbles with negative rates (0.00% FOMC, < 10% reserve requirement, and purchase operations on the open market).
The immediate harm is people getting on medications they don't need. That, in many cases, is actively harmful

I'm not a hardcore anti-car person, but realistically you're safer taking buses and trains and so on in the US than you are driving on the highway. Of course, if you're just taking trips across town a car might be safer? Ideally though major cities would police public transit better, but we really reversed course on policing in this country beginning circa 2014 and crime has risen commensurately.
The wide base of young people in the healthy pyramid will eventually grow old. Since it was wide, it means to keep the pyramid healthy, multiples of young people would need to be added. Whom will also grow old, needing even more young people.
Whenever people complain about the difficulty of Fromsoft games, I just think back to the early days of Atari and the pre-battery-save NES. No continues, you just go as far as you can and if that's not good enough, you get to start from the beginning until you get past it.
The whole thing smells fishy.

While pictures would be under copyright (and it's possible copyright is with a third party specialised in this), I can't see how the price listed for a product on, say, Tesco's website and collected by yourself on Tesco's website could be subject to licensing by a third party, even considering database rights.

I am also puzzled by those guys claim that they got a very "generous offer" from that company.

If they are unsure a better first step would be to crowdfund legal advice.

They could then crowdsource taking pictures of all the products from their users.

I'm just saying "generous support" makes sense as a word when it's NPR talking about donors, but is a weird word to describe the payments of your customers for a commercial service. Which makes me think they're trying to sound like they're NPR or something, when they are a commercial service. Universities and libraries don't pay for kanopy out of "generosity" or to "support" it -- it's a commercial service they subscribe to!

I have no idea what profit margin Kanopy makes, which is I guess how we'd determine if it was "gouging"? I don't know from "gouging".
This is a weird car guy myth that gets tossed around. The thinking is that, electric motors make uniform power output at any RPM, and torque = some_constant * power_output / RPM. Thus, as RPM goes to zero, torque goes to infinity.
