How usable is LinkedIn with a pseudonym? Is that a security industry only practice or could a regular dev get away with that too? I've always been shy about having a profile with my actual name but id consider one with a thin veil of anonymity.
hehehe. my opeeeniooon on your "sides of day" and "time cube" can be best summarized as this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXwRgnZ990I

both are suffering, and it shows.
Remember it's not 8gb of dedicated RAM. It's 8gb shared with the video subsystem. Let's see how far that goes when you plug it into a 4K monitor and/or do anything that requires GPU acceleration (which can include simply decoding video).

I think 8gb is borderline criminally low in the circumstances. At least this thing has the option for 24gb though. I just wish that was a stocked model so you could just walk into a store and buy one without having to order it.
It hasn't been approved, no one is making it.
Civil servant, administrative experience, PowerBi, GIS and Python. Target roles?
I can do this: https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjoiM2ViNzc5MmQtMDE0ZC00YzAwLWE2YjItYzQ4YWQ1NTdjMmNlIiwidCI6Ijg4OWYxNTI3LWQ4MzYtNGFhNy1iMzE4LTIzYWYwMTUxMGQxYiIsImMiOjl9&pageName=ReportSectionfa5add9a419dcf6577d5

I can program in Python and use PowerBi and GIS. Its more than four years though since I left engineering and joined civil service.

I also have experience running civilian administration and have succesfully incorporated my technical skills to better public service delivery. Being in the bureaucracy, I have experience dealing with scenarios involving different private and public entities to solve complex issues.

What kind of roles can be there for me in the private sector?
I've noticed this - but for me it's not the comedy per se, it's that modern authors (particularly in the noir style) want their detective to be a constant source of witty comebacks. You feel like the other characters are just there to deliver setup lines, so the detective can amaze us with his devastating zingers.

Ironically, Raymond Chandler - whom I imagine many such modern authors are trying to imitate - commented somewhere in his letters that the detective should almost never get the punchline. He pointed out that it was more effective to have the bad guy deliver the zinger, and the detective just take it on the chin and shrug it off, leaving the heel unsure whether to try to top his own line or just awkwardly make his exit.

P.S. There absolutely is definitely going to be sound coming through speakers. Fair heads up.
which of the techniques that i listed that are common now dlwere possible then?

we did indeed squeeze a lot out of the code we wrote. and we were very aware of js performance issues- using array.join religiously instead of concatenation was a big one. but most of the modern techniques & concerns simply werent appplicable or possible.

the shift from writing it ourselves to loading dozens or hundreds of modules came quite late, all told. that lead to the explosion of performance tools & techniques.
Full context matters here:

> Why this should be so I do not know, unless we can find a reason for it in our western habit of assuming that the Celestial is over-equipped in the matter of brains, and under-equipped in the matter of morals.

Knox is criticizing this assumption, not endorsing it.

> I only offer it as a fact of observation that, if you are turning over the pages of a book and come across some mention of ‘the slit-like eyes of Chin Loo', you had best put it down at once; it is bad.

I definitely agree with Knox's harsh judgment of the books that used to include such lines! I am reminded of the many ridiculous and racist caricatures of Chinese, African, Native American, and many other cultures in the (otherwise fairly wonderful) Tintin comics by Hergé.

Of course, writing a rule against including any Chinese people in detective fiction is going much too far, and is also racist; but no doubt Knox's writing here is a product of his time.

In fact, the first detective novel I ever read was "Walking Shadow" by Robert B. Parker, where his tough PI Spenser and his comrades Hawk and Susan Silverman go up against some Boston area tongs, and the Chinese people in that book are interesting, "round" characters; so I'm glad Parker had either never heard of this particular rule and chose to ignore it.
The other major cause of the failure was that one dev had access to 5 signing keys. That shouldn't have happened, because than that one dev could have run off with $540 Million...

And remember, it wasn't just that one dev - it was everything running on his computer - think of the probably tens of thousands of developers who wrote the code that runs as root on his PC, much of it unreviewed.
This is not the opposite here. The opposite is to not save lives of some people at the expense of taking life of another, i.e. the ends do not justify the means. It is a moral dilemma and whether you break or not break a law does not matter nor should it exclusively influence a decision here (I mean to do harm, just because you abide orders - that's immoral).
Impressive. I have to say that.

Performance is one thing (the benchmarks are probably wrong though), but will it solve any of the headache you get with NodeJS. I for instance have 7 different NodeJS versions installed just to compile all the projects I use. Oldest version is currently 6(!). The NPM dependency hell is best in class. NodeJS LTS is nothing but a tag. Compliance with ECMAScript updates have not been great. Still a mess with NodeJS to figure out if a package will work on the specific version. Still poor performance in comparison to other tech. And so on...
Exactly finally someone gets it, and for all you people who are opposed you're probably just a drug dealer or a terrorist, after all only drug dealers and terrorists have something to hide, every good citizen should want something like that.

Your disagreement doesn't have any effect on reality.

Is it somehow bad to strike down old precedents, regardless of content?

Is it somehow bad to tell US states that they can't do things that would violate the US constitution, which is explicitly meant to apply to all states?

Not a constructive addition to the conversation, smells of emotional manipulation.
All I can come up with is "Because economies of scale". I work for a transportation company, but we employ plumbers, carpenters, electricians, elevator repairmen, and many more that I'm not aware of, because we have enough locations / work to justify them. The pizza place has enough work to justify hiring a fleet of drivers, Amazon ships enough crap to justify having their own trucks (when they can't sucker another company into taking the unprofitable routes).

Similarly, Google doesn't ship enough stuff worldwide to justify drivers, insurance, trucks, jets, etc. - Fedex has the size and scale to make every package a couple cents cheaper, so it's just not worth it for Google.

The only other argument I can think of is the challenge of keeping every plate spinning, in good times and in bad. This is where your point of having a cost to take on something outside your core business comes in, but we seem to be in an era of mega-corporations - I'd expect lots of companies to snake tendrils into whatever will save them a fraction of a cent every time they have to do something.
"Think Different"

Missing "ly" transforms two words from humdrum imperative verb/adjective pairing to action whose object is enigmatic, provocative and whose verb stands strong, without qualification.

(I attempted to write this without articles. I don't really agree with using "whose" but needed a replacement to "for which the")

It's interesting to think of Big Lebowski as a detective movie and compare it to the rules that are in this including the Chinaman.

Disclaimer: I have not worked directly on mainframes themselves.

They've been doing the same type of work for decades. Batch processing of records and transactions (payroll, insurance, banking, airline booking, etc.) IBM releases new mainframe models all the time, and typically companies will lease them and upgrade every few years.

When I worked at an insurance company, the mainframes were the core of their financials. They had around 8 of them in an active/standby DR site. The machines could do instruction-level error checking, meaning even a weird processor failure/error wouldn't impact the end transaction. Basically if you want to guarantee accurate handling of your money, you use a mainframe.

One common thing to see nowadays is the mainframe becomes abstracted by some other layer of API, such as a rest API. This has reduced the need somewhat for mainframe operators, but in the end you're still interacting with some COBOL that was written 30 years ago and somebody needs to understand it and the hardware. And the hardware is so different from traditional servers, you can't just pick it up and wing it. You really need someone who knows what they're doing.
Need depends on your needs. You can share the DB but you lose the isolation. The tradeoff is up to you.

There are also different ways to share. Are we talking about different DBs on the same hardware? Different schemas, different users, different tables?

If you want to be so integrated that services are joining across everything and there is no concept of ownership between service and data, then you're going to have a very tough time untangling that.

If it's just reusing hardware at lower scale but the data is isolated then it won't be so bad.
This decision is hard to justify on the basis of scientific evidence of harm. Despite the tobacco industry's decades-long effort to deny the link between lung cancer and smoking tobacco, it seems well-understood that the combustion product benzo[alpha]pyrene plays a major role. This is one of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (5 rings in this case) which, after being processed by lung cytochrome p450 enzymes, will form mutagenic DNA adducts. Adducts that form in regions of the genome that control the cell life cycle can result in cancers, particularly if defects exist in normal DNA repair mechanisms. For example:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3268909/

Some of the enzymatic activity resulting in conversion of PAHs to activated PAHs capable of binding to DNA appears to be promoted by nicotine and inhibited by THC, curiously enough, i.e. the cannabis-vs-tobacco smoke issue:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1277837/

However, there's no benzo[a]pyrene or similar PAHs generated via vaping, it's just nicotine in an aerosolizable liquid (propylene glycol + glycerine) which doesn't seem to have any medical negatives. Juul also includes benzoic acid as a preservative to avoid microbial growth, however, which is something I'd avoid inhaling personally.

Nicotine is indeed a highly addictive substance, but there seems to be no scientific reason to allow smoking plain tobacco while banning vaporized nicotine. I'd suggest removing the benzoic acid, which would of course shorten shelf life and perhaps require refrigeration, if anything.
Therefore pro-war propaganda cannot be referred to as pro-war propaganda? This is bizarre logic. If the ads started showing nootropic propaganda, would you not be allowed to call it nootropic propaganda?
These speedups are awesome, but of course one wonders why they haven't been a low-hanging fruit over the past 25 years.

Having read about some of the changes [1], it seems like the python core committers preferred clean over fast implementations and have deviated from this mantra with 3.11.

Now let's get a sane concurrency story (no multiprocessing / queue / pickle hacks) and suddenly it's a completely different language!

[1] Here are the python docs on what precisely gave the speedups: https://docs.python.org/3.11/whatsnew/3.11.html#faster-cpyth...

[edit] A bit of explanation what I meant by low-hanging fruit: One of the changes is "Subscripting container types such as list, tuple and dict directly index the underlying data structures." Surely that seems like a straight-forward idea in retrospect. In fact, many python (/c) libraries try to do zero-copy work with data structures already, such as numpy.
I'm honestly not sure at this point why Juul is on the chopping block. I'm a college student, and Juul took off during my sophomore year of high school. They absolutely marketed to teenagers and created a dangerous product, but they're no longer the biggest player in the game.

By my senior year of high school, most kids had moved on to disposable vapes. From what I know, they're about the same price, you don't have to worry about recharging them (and having a teacher/parent ask you about your "usb stick"), and have the same number of hits

Juul should absolutely be fined/etc for marketing to children and starting the vaping epidemic in high schools, but the FDA is years too late on that front
Interesting. I've also had success using a Sonicare but always moving from the gums to the tooth (instead of along the gumline as the manual suggests).
Did anyone try running this benchmark with other python implementations? (Pypy etc)
I can't find it now, There was an old article talking about a Zombie party in India. Basically bribing an official to get someone declared dead was easy.
Getting it fixed was basically impossible. There was some guy running for office who was legally dead.
I would like to think that most dentists like their patients to have healthy, cared for teeth and that they play in important role in it. I would not like to think that most of them actually work to our detriment so that they can do more expensive, painful procedures on our mouths and teeth. That’s a pretty cynical outlook I’d need to see evidence for.
Why does your presence/proximity carry moral responsibility? Is it not possible to be a passive observer of evil?

Heroism (jumping in the pond and saving the child) doesn't imply moral responsibility for the situation.
I think you can afford that perspective until the seek time on indexing becomes slower than your system generates rows or your index size begins to eclipse memory capacity.

Having been there, done that, I can assure you more indexes are not always your friend.
What bad data, and what apples/oranges comparisons? That city design was created by minimum parking requirements, that's not disputed. The fact that the requirements were recently lifted is great, but irrelevant to the point being made.

Also, it's an analogy, and analogies are intended to illustrate a point, not be a perfect likeness.
Enjoyed the article, and found #11 and #12 to be almost a requirement for most teams.

I've worked for an org that adopted microservices when it's small size didn't justify it but eventually found its footing with good containerization, K8s from a growing DevOps team. Individual teams were able to eventually deploy and release to various environments independently, test on QA environments easily.

And I now work for an org with a monorepo with 100+ developers that probably should have been broken up into microservices a while ago. Everything just feels broken and we're constantly running around wondering who broke what build when. We have like 6 SREs for a team of 100+ devs? I think a lot depends on how well CI/CD is developed and the DevOps/SRE team.
Then a better hypothesis would be that the science budget makes progress happen, rather than the military budget.
In the U.S. we used to collect palm/foot prints on every child within a few days of birth. Newborn fingerprints are difficult to collect, as skin is very delicate. Now we require DNA collection at birth.

https://www.aclu.org/other/newborn-dna-banking

With my youngest I found a clever way to "opt-out". Unfortunately at my child's 6 month pediatric appointment at a private clinic, the nurse charged in and demanded a sample to send in on the spot. She said they couldn't proceed with any services unless they sent the card in, as their license would be revoked unless doing so.

https://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/02/04/baby.dna.government/in...

In my state you can REQUEST to have the collection card destroyed after 6 weeks, and before 18 years. But they do not guarantee it gets done. Which is just for the collection card. They make sure to "transfer but not sell" the samples to separate entity between that time, which keeps a copy and digitizes it.

Thanks for the info. Snowfall was recently added. I am afraid there could be a bug with that particular variable.

Same, although my perception is that LinkedIn has moved past its peak usefulness, and it would be better to spend time on other platforms than creating a LI account. All I hear about LinkedIn these days is spam.
Personally I don't update my LinkedIn until I start looking for a new job. There is absolutely no need for anyone to know where I work (or at least for me to share that far and wide publically) and I'm not interested in cold emails/cold linkedin messages.

My decision was cemented in 2020 when someone who didn't like a tweet of mine retweeted it to my old company's twitter account trying to get me fired/reprimanded (The tweet in question called out my local PD for a dubious tweet they made, the person who tried to get me in trouble lived in a different state 12+ hours away). Thankfully my current company wouldn't have cared but there is no need to give people ammo.
"Evolved" is not the word I would use. As the Internet was already showing signs of being twisted by its own mythos in the 1990's, there was plenty of then-obvious opportunity that resulted in the type of profit-driven curation we see today. I remember the Internet then, but I feel a lot of people allow the lense of nostalgia to twist it into something far more wild and pure than it actually was.
May well be that what you were looking for is in the index. My algorithms have a lot of potential for improvement. Right now they only really work well for broad topical searches. They are also entirely blind to some fairly rich websites, such as certain types of forums.
>Cigarettes are clearly going towards being banned. Which is a good thing.

Idealistically only. In reality, expect a lot of societal problems if that happens. Crime increases from black market good and increase assaults from smokers who have had their drug removed. Basically drug war 2.0. Unfortunately most people vote idealistically these days and tend to ignore or not even think about the reality of implementing laws/bans. Even after seeing the horrible effects of drug wars, people still love fighting them.

Seems like an example of tyranny of the majority.
I have, after years of deliberatng, decided to use an electric toothbrush. Its been 2 years and I want to know what I should be expecting. Maybe I am sleepy when I a brushing so I don't notice but asking still.

I do know some people working in a similar line of work, Twitch "Just Chatting" streamers, where they basically sell "attention". They're not trained to do this kind of conversation, so there is a mental toll that comes with giving emotional attention to someone that's at best a stranger, unless they learn compartmentalisation. It can be very artificial, since they can be tired and not all that interested in the customers stories.

It is also hard for me to understand their mind, but I know several cases of people who claimed to have fallen in love with the streamers. Even on small channels that can be a weekly occurrence.

So yeah, it does matter for these types of buyers, and it would crush their world if they knew it was a bot, but the end result is kinda the same, because streamers/models aren't interested in them.
They're common in North America, maybe because having bigger houses and therefore having multiple bathrooms is also more common.
How is Proof of Authority, mentioned in the article, any different than normal social trust and reputational risk associated with that? This seems like a cute way of wrapping up the status quo in crypto lingo.
1. Usually OSS projects accept patches via PRs. Translations are no different for 99% of all projects.

2. Why? Keys with params will break no matter if it is in MessageFormat or TypeScript. At least with TypeScript you will know something is wrong and can comment out the problematic key in question.

3. And that is great! Bugs should break builds.

4. Well, that could happen. But you could also structure your localizations into a stand-alone subproject and then it would no longer be the case.
Cigarettes and other tobacco products predate the FDA by hundreds of years and despite the harm they are known to cause, they're essentially 'grandfathered in' because of cultural inertia.
For me it's not really about fast moving rooms or not, but that I want to see a bit of context to what was said.
In IRC it's easy to see more than 60 lines back without having to scroll, but all modern alternatives don't have that as a concern at all. Have a few people paste code, liberal use of quoting for messages that are less than 10 lines up (so you are seeing the same message 3 times repeated on the screen), people posting images and you'll be lucky to even have a tiny fraction visible compared to the IRC view.

I can of course see the appeal of all those features, but at least for me it translates into a much worse UX in the end.
Unfortunately, the data part won’t work very well because of the strict data localization laws that require financial data to be stored in India. Related to this, Amex and MasterCard were banned from issuing new cards in India. The ban on MasterCard was removed recently (nearly a year later) after compliance. The ban on Amex is still not lifted.
