This co-founder of AltNews has been habitually mocking the Hindu deities and would delete his offending posts whenever caught.

His position on religion can be summed up below:

If you mock my God, I will ensure that you face the maximum repercussions possible. However, if I mock your God, I will play victim and bring my entire ecosystem together to discredit you.

I'm not saying they were all in one channel lmao

What does it matter? If you go on IRC now every channel is idle, no chat, just joins quits and parts, boring, dead.

They're not, and haven't been in 10 years. I'd love to get back into IRC but there's no IRC to go back to.

The priority of profit
It's kind of deliberate. there's bullshitters, and bullshit-takers, and you are in the latter group. Setting the agenda and defining the terms is a way to exert power, in many ways far more important than any substantive outcome to the meetings. That said, quite a few managers are just high on their own supply and chasing a fashionable idea or doing a poor job of trying to explain whatever they were told in their last meeting. You don't have to assume malice.

You can try using some BS of your own; for example, say modestly 'I love [the strategic thing] but I've struggled to communicate it effectively to my team. How can I make it easier for them to understand?' which flatters the person running a meeting enough that they might be tempted to show off. Don't have a team? Invent one, just evoke the existence of some confused and dissatisfied co-workers who you are eager to motivate.

Keep notes on different people/ideas and give them a BS score out of 10 (nothing complicated). After a while you'll get a sense for what actually impacts productivity or business outcomes vs what's just the corporate cheer squad.

Stellantis is like the new Step parent to a bunch of step children that were given up for adoption by their biological parents. Some premier brands but also a lot of second tier brands and smaller brands overall. I wonder if they can keep so many brands afloat. Over the last 20 years or so the larger MFGs have shed brands and consolidated.
Because "managers" are often barely older than their staff. It's simply vastly cheaper to operate that way.
> is there a way to debug-step through disassembled code

That's what I've been using it for. Once you find a function you're interested in, call `eval-defun` in it. Next time it's executed you should get a prompt with a stack trace and ability to step through the code (with `n`) or evaluate an expression in context (`e`).

> if I may ask a noob question, is there an easy way to keep a persistent eye on a closure or arbitrary set of a variables

I discovered edebug last week when I finally had to; so we're in the same boat. My guess is "yes" :)

In the case of ectopic pregnancy, choosing inaction is absolutely wrong in every possible way.

Inaction means both mother and fetus die. Action means just the fetus dies.

I can’t tell what the buyers of Apple products voted for exactly, but neither can you tell me what EU voters voted for when choosing their rep.

I mean here we have a law proposed by an unelected body (the European Commission), now being ratified by the European Parliament. The EP is elected (with ~50% turnout) but decides numerous issues (thousands? Tens of thousands?) in an election cycle. When voters elected their representatives how much thought did they spare to walled garden app stores?

Although both are indirect expressions of opinion, buying an Apple product seems to be a clearer endorsement for their model than voting in EU elections by a long shot.

The problem is that people won’t “use it lightly” and not everyone speaks the same language. Being able to copy/paste text into a translation tool (probably Google Translate which is kinda ironic in the case you mentioned) to understand what the document is about is super important when in another country or communicating with someone in another country.
If employees unionising is particularly costly to business, could it be because the employees are being exploited?

There's a bit of drama in that there are unofficial reports of two systems in China with higher performance [0], the arXiv paper listed below talks about a 40 million core system with around double theoretical performance than Frontier, and there's apparently a second system online with similar performance. I personally suspect that they didn't submit benchmarks to the top500 simply because those don't run well enough in the systems

In a somewhat similar situation with the 2019 16 inch Intel MBP. I wouldn't say it's too slow, but it does get embarrassingly hot during regular use. Enabling low power mode disables turbo boost and keeps it much, much cooler, but plugging into an external monitor enables the discrete graphics card and the laptop gets hot again.

Going to try to get a few more years out of it hopefully until Imagination Tech's hardware accelerated ray tracing solutions can make it to Apple's GPUs.

Surely it's unspecified behavior, at worst.
Have you tried asking your supervisor, or a friend at work, to explain these to you? It sounds like nobody bothered to onboard you properly and give you the low-down on your business.

Omnichannel just means "all the channels". A "channel" in this case probably means a particular sales path, e.g. website, app, brick-and-mortar, maybe phone, fax, distributors, resellers, whatever. Sounds like your company sells the same product/service through many avenues.

As for the reviews and strategies, eh, that's just the corporate world at work. There are people whose job it is to figure those kinda things out. If they're good at it, those are the sort of visionary changes that guide the company over the long term. If they're bad at it, then it's just the bureaucracy keeping itself busy with nonsense.

I dunno what your particular role at your company is, but if it's some sort of hands-on/in the trenches stuff, like you're a dev or designer or some such, you can just ask your supervisor "So all of that strategic stuff is a bit above me. Is any of it critical to my work or our team?" If not, then you don't have to worry about it.

Oftentimes, it goes the other way too... you show those folks what you've been working on and their eyes glaze over because it's not their area of expertise. It's OK. Big companies have different specializations of labor and you don't need to know all of it to be a valuable contributor.

If you do ever want to move into management or similar roles, though, you might want to pay more attention and get more clarifications from the people around and above you. It's OK to ask questions, but it's a trial and error process to identify the people who have the time, patience, and knowledge to give you useful answers.
Yes, I’m aware of the Smalltalk miracle.

Google wasn’t alone in optimizing JS, it actually came late, Safari and Firefox were already competing and improving their runtime speeds, though V8 did doubled down on the bet of a fast JS machine.

The question is why there isn’t enough money, given that there obviously is a lot of interest from big players.
> I agree that OCR is an important tool for end users, especially those with accessibility needs, and that we shouldn't use something like this lightly, but the context is completely different here. If I want to send you a PDF from my gmail, and want to make it difficult for Google to leverage that data - that's completely different than if I were a giant media company, gatekeeping to ensure a huge portion of culture flows through me, which I then claim as my own and charge exorbitant rents for, enforced by DRM.

There are easier ways to do this, such as encrypting the PDF. It is trivially easy to password protect a PDF as well [0], it is even a part of the PDF spec. It isn't ironclad, but it will defeat Gmail's indexer.

Really curious how this worked, the query 'FHIR appointment spec' produces the following. It actually did get the right result as the first result.

"fhir appointment spec

I'm not sure what you're asking about, but I'll try to answer it as best I can. __ Appointment is a FHIR data type. It's a way to describe a time slot for a patient to be seen by a healthcare provider. Appointments can be booked, cancelled, rescheduled, or canceled and rebooked. It can also be used to describe the location of the appointment. "

Pretty impressive summary given that it doesn't exist in any one specific page.
Probably just a GPS error. It's not uncommon to see large velocities and position shifts, particularly up in the mountains where multipath issues are common.
How you come up with a name is up to you and how you use it. Personally I would go with "July 2022 Shanghai National Police database leak" because I'm not having any conversation where a cute codename would be less confusing.

At work we codename security issues we are working on for Slack channels, etc. We use unrelated names that you could get from a name generator.
Not sure OCR is the correct term here. OCR specifically means extracting text from an image. This approach doesn't protect against that. Some maybe better options will be "machine obfuscated" or "scrape resistant".
> We already have rules about how much control a single company can have over a market and what defines a market.

I don't know of such rules. Can you point me to them?

To the contrary, there's Epic Games v. Apple case in which definition of the market is pretty narrow (digital mobile gaming transactions) compared to what you suggest (App Store in general) [0].

> That is market control and abuse.

In the same case, judge decided that Apple is not a monopoly, saying “Success is not illegal.” [1]

> Apple has an aggressive chokehold on it that artificially inflates prices and prevents competition.

Almost all apps are free. What inflated prices are you talking about?

If I remember correctly iron python ran on mono it just didn't have all of the .net bits. I remember at the python conference when it was introduced he actually showed how you could bring up clippy or a wizard programmatically from python talking directly to the operating system through its native apis.

Really the value came from the thread safe container/collections data types which are the foundation of high performance programming

It is not fair to compare the Facebooks monolith and the monolith at the average company, as they are not really the same thing. The tooling available at Facebook is built and maintained by a team larger than the engineering departments at most companies.

There comes a point, where regular off the shelf tooling does not scale sufficiently well for a monolith. Tests suits and builds start to take too long. Deployments get increasingly complicated. Developers start to get into each other's way, even when working on unrelated features. Additionally, if you are using an untyped, interpreted language, keeping a large app well organized can also be a problem.

Microservices is a tool for dealing with complexity and certainly not the only one. However, building the tooling and infra for a large and sophisticated monolith is not simple and not guaranteed to be an easier solution to the problems listed above.
JavaScript doesn't really have C extensions like Python has.

PyPy did implement a JIT for Python, and it worked really well, until you tried to use C extensions.
There was a trolley meme (actually about student debt forgiveness) that had a long line of people dead, more live people, and the cut off to no one. The dilemma was, “You can pull the lever, and save everyone, but would that be fair to everyone that was already killed?”

Amazing! Things have changed since Mike Hoover made "Solo".

Back in the early 70's there were no Drones, iPhone cameras, GPS or internet. Instead, you gathered your pals, a 10 lbs Bolex and as much film as you could afford. Then you hauled everything back to the editing room where you worked for days to cut and splice all that raw footage into a coherent package. If you were very talented, the results looked like this:

It is true, that there is uncollected garbage in the original Xerox ST80 image. I've built some tools to analyze the image and also a VM which can be interrupted at any time to analyze the current state of the image (see https://github.com/rochus-keller/Smalltalk).

There are two zombie processes (OID 6662 and 19ba). There are also a couple of BlockContext and MethodContext which have a nil sender and a reference to an unknown method, but which are still referenced from somewhere (i.e. the collection is prevented, even with mark & sweep). E.g. OID 79a2 of class BinaryChoice. I have a full list if anybody is interested.
Uh... "Except"? What does that observation have to do with anything? It was a gentle reminder that reaching for backslash is not necessary. Nowhere does it say "you can paste the same absolute path in on any system, without regard for where the files actually live".

Make friends with folks on the business side, and ask questions, as many as you can, including 'I didn't understand what this meeting was about, could you please explain? ' and 'who is this guy and what is his role?'

This has practical implications for you beyond corporate meetings : it will allow you to prioritize what's important in a much better way, will allow you to prevent bad things happening later on because you'll know when to say no early in the process , and will allow you to make better technical decisions because you'll know the business implications or what you're working on.

It takes time (I've been there), and the key is essentially to learn your environment, and what the people outside your bubble do. You won't find the answer in books, so you'll have to ask.

The terrain renderer is really impressive. Have you written anything that goes into detail on how you created it? I would find that fascinating.

Also, do you mean that you are _automatically_ rectifying photos against your 3D terrain model to determine the direction and angle they were taken from? Or do they come with additional information that is useful in simplifying that task?
Its bad because kubernetes has a learning curve + typically you'll need someone to deal with it constantly. If your app is simple, you don't need that - simple docker-compose should suffice.

There's not incentives currently for the no money involved approach. Before, there was still some unknown promise of the thing you are doing being discovered at some point, and also you could still sellout - lots of creators did this eventually. The noise is really high today.
Just interviewed with a crypto company, can confirm. Even "legitimate" companies with a web presence, customers, etc, come off as super sketchy.

That said, for lower income people you'll be absolutely inundated with scams, a good friend of mine just hit me up cuz someone wanted to promise him for $100 or so a week, you'd somehow become a crypto millionaire. I actually think crypto in its entirety is a giant scam, there's just levels of sophistication to it.

Not everyone's going to fall for give me $100 and I'll turn that into $10,000 , but a ton of people fell for buy a bunch of crypto coins and hold ,time the market and sell.

When a platform does not guarantees secrecy you just avoid holding private conversations on it. In my opinion, that's the spirit of IRC, a public place to discuss, because often channels are logged and the logs are accessible for anyone from the web. If not, just about anyone on a channel can do it without your consent. That's also true I think with other "secure" chat platforms because that's the nature of any-to-any chat protocols.

Then you use private messages as a way to talk to someone without disturbing, or away from the noise, of the channel - still not for really private conversations ; for this you don't need encryption, you need end-to-end encryption, but at this point you'd rather use a messaging platform rather than a chat platform.
GC pressure is the cause of many of your competitors' problems. I'd be planning a move to an alternative sooner rather than later otherwise you'll run into the exact same problems that they have - after a certain point in the company's life it becomes practically impossible to fix
After confirming that a toilet flush does emit an aerosol spray, Adam builds a rack to hold 44 toothbrushes at various distances from the toilet in the shop, as well as two controls kept in the office. Each day, Adam and Jamie exposed the brushes to toothpaste and rinsed with distilled water, with brushing with a pair kept right above the toilet bowl. Fecal coliforms were indeed found on all the test brushes, including the control ones, but none at a level high enough to be dangerous. A microbiologist from UCSF confirmed that such coliforms were impossible to completely avoid, and that there was no significant difference in the number of bacteria based on where the toothbrushes were placed in respect to the toilet bowl. This surprising result prompts the narrator to proclaim "Some myths are best left unanswered!"

Since the controls were kept in his office... it does seem like it's impossible to avoid fecal coliform bacteria.
