I know this is pedantic, but it said extra RANGE. Range to me asks how far can you go without stopping.

But if you have a lousy day you need to charge... you can't take a battery deficit and make up for it later with a reversion to the mean.

That's helpful for that one example, but it doesn't solve the general case. I can think of a hundred different examples that aren't handled by the type system or stdlib.

Unless someone manages to solve the halting problem, we'll always need unwrap() or equivalent.
I agree to a certain point but what I'm trying to say is that you can embed google analytics in your games and it won't get banned from steam, but if you add some kind of software that install popup ads whenever you boot your computer, you will get banned.

No matter how we define those at the end of the day there is a difference between them, so maybe "malware" is the wrong word here as this seems to irk many, but seeing all the replies that group DRM / anti-cheat / analytics / ads (interstitial) and malicious software that get sneakily installed to add toolbar / popups to a computer all being grouped together as one and the same is just wrong because in the practical world those companies makes a clear distinction between them.

So my question is, if the correct word is not "malware" to uniquely specify that subset of software that is clearly banned from those store and won't at large also includes stuff that are OK like analytics. What is it?

Personally, in the real world, I would never specify something like analytics or ads (interstitial) as "malware" (even if philosophically they are) because to me, the way I've seen it used was to identify software that get sneakily installed and add malicious stuff to the user's computer (popup / toolbar / crypto mining).

DRM / Anti-cheat, even tho they are "bad" (I get that), are not going to suddenly start showing ads popup (and if they did and they totally can, the stores would banned those games and would classify it as malware not just DRM).

Making a word too broad means we loose the meaning. There has to be a specific word that describes the exact type of software that I am desperately trying to specify. And I know you know what I'm referring to, and I'm sure everyone understood what I meant, and I get that it isn't "malware" but what is it?

My success has always come without a real gimmick and simply calorie counting. Have what you want, but be aware what you're eating and work towards a goal. I set a slow weight loss goal so I'm not hungry due to extreme of a deficit. I can still eat my ice cream if I've made sure that I still have caloric room at the end of the day. After a while off counting I find my proportions are getting too big, I realign with some tracking again, and carry on.
I got reprimanded one time at a previous job for pretending to throw a bee at my supervisor. A nest had formed in some concrete overhang in the building, he freaked out and got adrenaline ampules at the pharmacy (epipen shortage year) like "you need to inject me with this if I get stung". So later on, I walked up to him sitting next to a coworker with nothing in my hands and a shit eating grin on my face. "What's that?" "A BEE!" as I opened my hands with nothing in them... He fell over in his chair and everyone in the office stood up and pointed and laughed at him. It was ultra funny though he insisted I was insane for this and demanded I see a psychiatrist if I wanted to keep my job. Just ended up getting xanax pills I really didn't want or need. This was close to a decade ago and I wouldn't pull something like that now, but I mean what do you expect out of hiring people in their early 20s?
I agree with your comment. Though there’s enough people here and elsewhere dying on the hill for the CIA that even their history isn’t clear. Like seeing all the coups as unselfish acts of bringing freedom to the disenfranchised global south.

True, but it isn't restricted to that; it also describes the taste of garlic.

(Whereas in English, I would never describe garlic or onions as "hot". If I needed a descriptor, I'd call them "sharp".)
This isn't genocide, even by your very strained definition. It maybe becomes something like that though if this keeps up.

The JS Framework Benchmark compares benchmarks (both WASM and JS) in the more usual setting of DOM manipulations.

The link below pre-filters to my subjective "picks" that I think give a birds-eye view of the wasm-to-js comparison for DOM manipulation:

My picks, ranked descending by performance: SolidJS > Vue > Sycamore-rs > Svelte > React > Yew

SolidJS is a truly reactive JS framework. Sycamore-rs can be taught of as the Rust-clone of SolidJS, and Yew can be taught of as the Rust-clone of React.

While researching this article we rewatched this interview with Jobs at "All Things D" D3 conference which gives a lot of interesting insights into Jobs' mindset about the evolution of macOS at the time. https://youtu.be/iGXdnLMbnds?t=1798

My favorite Jobs quote (which we featured in the article is)

"Avie Tevanian, the person that was running software at the time, showed us OS X and every time you wanted to load an application into OS X, whether it was off the internet or even off a disc, you had to type your name and password–you had to authenticate. And we gave him incredible shit for that. We said ‘Avie, are you nuts? This is the Mac!’ And he said, ‘trust me.’ And so we deferred to Avie on that after trying to twist his arm for a year. And boy, was he ahead of his time."

I'm sure that's absolutely a very liberal use of the word "we" and it was likely Steve himself banging on Avie's door trying to get him to capitulate and remove the prompt which would have fundamentally set a different tone for OS X security going forward.

As soon as your company can afford to hire a single full-time employee, most of these fees seem pretty inconsequential. And if you haven't hired any employees, you're probably in bootstrapping mode, so you're betting on becoming profitable before running out of runway.

The Olympics were supposed to be for amateurs only, not professional athletes. This is a distinction that disappeared primarily when the Soviets made it nonsensical (as Communism meant a disconnect with what you did and why you were paid), and I remember into the 90's it was discussed when the NBA "Dream Team" was formed for the Olympics.

Why it was so important they be amateurs, I couldn't tell you.

> Investments in renewables continue to pay huge dividends in 2022, as highlighted by IRENA’s costs data. In non-OECD countries, the 109 GW of renewable energy additions in 2021 that cost less than the cheapest new fossil fuel-fired option will reduce costs by at least USD $5.7 billion annually for the next 25-30 years.

> High coal and fossil gas prices in 2021 and 2022 will also profoundly deteriorate the competitiveness of fossil fuels and make solar and wind even more attractive. With an unprecedented surge in European fossil gas prices, for example, new fossil gas generation in Europe will increasingly become uneconomic over its lifetime, increasing the risk of stranded assets.

> To make a swift transition to a cleaner grid, the United States needs to set records for renewable electricity generation pretty much every single quarter. So far in 2022, the numbers are encouraging.

> From January to March, renewable energy power plants generated 242,956 gigawatt hours (GWh), which was 23.5% of U.S. electricity generation; both records—an increase from 19.5% in the first quarter of 2021, and 20.8% in the full year. The growth was thanks in part to more than 80 new wind and solar plants that went online during the quarter. The figures are from the Energy Information Administration.

At the time only amateurs were allowed to compete. Taking money made you a professional.

I don’t think there’s any dispute that he did make money as a player. However, the wikipedia page says that disqualifications had to be made within 30 days of the close of the games. His occurred 6 months later. So that sounds like grounds to disqualify the disqualification itself, so to speak. It was invalid under the rules.
I love stories and movies that are kind of just like "man a bunch of shit just happened, is there really a lesson? who knows" (like Burn After Reading for a comedic example).

There is no shortage of devs.

Companies should be more concerned about toxic gatekeeping leetcode culture, fixing the hiring process, and being honest about the positions they need filled. Most devs never have to invert a binary tree in their career (although it might be fun to do after hours), so why is it even an interview question?

Additionally, a lot of companies go into interviews unprepared. I remember one interview where I was asked to code on a shared screen, but the keyboard and mouse were broken. The interviewers were completely checked out, spending half the time on their phones.

Another time, I was emailed a Word document with the coding question. The doc had some kind of macro that would phone home when you opened it. The only reason I noticed is because I opened it in Open Office on my Linux machine.

If you do that to a candidate right at the beginning, why would you think they'd want to work for you?

I haven't read the axios article but all the questions you asked were answered in the NYT article I read about it this morning.

* Its not disputed that he did earn money playing minor league baseball for $25/wk a couple years prior to the Olympics.

* The IOC rules stated that he could lose his medals for this, but there's only a 30 day window to enforce the rule. The IOC enforced this rule "the next year." I'm not sure if this was enforced unevenly, but there are insinuations that this was due to his race.

* In 1982, the IOC, under pressure, re-instated him as "Co-winner" of the medals to appease critics. This did not appease them.

> My general rule of thumb is that I use `unwrap()` for cases where the panic should be unreachable, and is at least reasonably easy to prove it's unreachable.

I don’t agree with that. To me unwrap straddles the line between “I don’t care to think about this right now” and “I don’t care about that case”.

If I can prove it does not happen then it get an “expect” with a justification. Or even a map_err(|_| unreachable!(reasoning)) if I’m feeling really fancy.

unwrap acts as a todo, I can grep for it and if I see one I know it’s something to fix.

Classicism. It was really so that the upper-classes could keep the working classes out of it. They had their own money, so they could be amateurs and not make money from competition. Where as regular people needed to also make money in sports to just survive.

The first step of digitizing an administration is ... hardcore simplification or removal of tons of processes.

As far as I know, in my country there has been some teams dedicated to administration processes simplification or removal, then digitizing.

But it brought other issues like the dependency on big tech software, they were not careful at staying compatible with noscript/basic (x)html browsers (probably incompetence or corruption).

Why do you think privacy is not involved? Currently if a US company stores data on EU citizens then the US government can compel them to produce that data in a way that's not compliant with GDPR. That seems to be a pretty unambiguous privacy issue (not arguing that there are probably some other politics going on of course).

Personally my idle body temperature seems to scale with my weight. In my teens and early 20s I was on the underweight/healthy boundary and would really feel the cold. At my peak weight mid-covid I was mid-overweight BMI and the amount of sweating I did definitely increased. I've been losing it again since resuming a more normal level of exercise as covid restrictions ease, and I'm about back into the healthy zone which is losing it a lot faster than I put it on, so I'm curious if I notice any differences in perceived body heat as the trend continues.

It's probably too late to make a difference to your vacation, but it sounds like these folks need active coaching. Rather than doing your PRs asynchronously, have you considered sitting down with one or both of them to do the PR review? Pull the code up in your editor and refactor as you go (and teach them how to refactor). Get the code to a good state and commit/approve it right there.

As for your vacation, I agree with the commenter who suggested having them pair while you're gone. In fact, pairing or mobbing might be just what this team needs. You'll be a much more effective coach if you work with them directly rather than "seagulling" [1] PRs.
