If your reasoning is that it will be faster in the future. Fine. But I doubt it.

Yiiikes, how often were tools left where they shouldn't have been left around reactors? It seems like a process failure--if you can leave something extra then how can you trust you aren't forgetting something essential, like tightening a fitting, etc.
> "yeah, you don't need masks. they are only needed at the hospitals. leave the N95s for them"

The main message was not that masks were "only needed at the hospitals". You will remember that in the early days, there were serious supply issues with masks, and some hospitals, clinics and other healthcare providers had difficulty securing their own supplies. It was a question of priorities.
The point doesn't stand, at least, not for psychology papers: even if the data have been collected correctly, the method was flawless, and the statistics have been done properly, the conclusions (as written in the paper under "Conclusions" heading) are always beyond the scope of the experiment, often far beyond it. I've never seen a psych paper that limits itself to just the experiment. They always present the outcome as proof for some kind of broader theory (which usually has been proven wrong in the same style by somebody else).

Driver compatibility with redhat. Niche hardware like stack bypass network cards, packet capture cards, fpga cards will tend to have drivers issued for redhat, but not always for anything else. By using rocky/alma, you improve your odds to dodge hassle adapting the driver packs to other linux distros.

Net booting. Distros vary in how awkward it is to get stripped setups set up for net booting. My experience is that the redhat world distros are easier for this than the debian world.
This was my first PC game, I haven't had a PC yet, only 1 guy in the whole village had a PC and we were visiting him with like 5 other kids to play this game. So many memories :) Thanks for this game it's great.

BTW leap frog bomb was the best.
I don't really understand your complaint. I don't play lol. You can just go into SC2 and play matches no problem. And the game is far easier to play SC1 was, and part of the game is that it is challenging, its not the meta that made it so. I also never felt that way with dota, you can play any hero you want for fun.

And you offered no explanation how these experiences could be much better.
They're both just turn-based pong / tennis for two.
We can do that, and I'm not sure I would like to make a prediction about the price of any particular cryptocurrency asset that far ahead.

But I'm also not sure what that has to do with my posts further up, which are saying that another claim about cryptocurrency, that it's a hedge against the stock market and the wider financial system, is wrong. If you're trying to say "Well it might work out, longer term!" then I'm not really sure it qualifies as hedge at that point, you're just talking about another investment which it turns out is quite strongly correlated to the general financial markets.
"Kaizen" foam is just polyethylene foam. It's often used as packaging for furniture and electronics. I save the more useful sheets of it for things like this. If you have a reuse or surplus store near you they sometimes sell PE foam.
Rude way to ignore my point thanks.

This dude stormed off after picking up & hurling four glasses. It would have been nice to have been able to have have information streaming, to make the situation clear & knkwn. Instead it took about 8 minutes for the first squad car to arrive. Then employees spent about half an hour trying to describe the guy & what happened, to about 4 police officers.

Yes we can pick up the phone. You know what's worth a thousand words? A photo. Your snarky shutdown misses the basic idea, that while police & megacorps forge ever tighter pacts, the civilians have nothing better slightly upscaled 1940's tech to work with, to report with.
Cryptocurrency does not seem to fall into the category of "assets resistant to manipulation".

In fact it seems to be very, very prone to manipulation by all sorts of parties.
> Canadians can do money transfers instantly between any bank using e-transfer.

Interesting, for me e-transfers usually take around 20-30 minutes to go through (where the other party receives the notification with the ability to deposit it).

I prefer using cryptocurrency for near-instant transfers for exactly this reason. When I've gone to pay for items via e-transfer there's a lot of waiting around for the other party to receive it (and ATMs generally limit your daily withdrawal amount, so for me, withdrawing cash isn't a good solution for purchasing things over $1000)
Context matters, and sometimes the situation is different across borders.
I think if you're introducing yourself to people who'd like to hire you and haven't met you, it is normal etiquette to appear on camera. There is still a level of body language conveyed, even if it's just your face.

I think we all get not wanting to be on camera for every meeting, but surely it makes sense to present yourself on camera for the initial interview if you're able?
Sure, but you get probably correct code out of it. Not every productivity increase has to do with quantity.
Static typing isn't mentioned at all in the paper.

The article talks about "functions as first-class objects (closures) with static scoping". Those appeared as a general construct in Scheme and only later in Lisp. The idea of functions and an environment is a bit older (see for example Landin's ISWIM from 1964 -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SECD_machine ). The idea thus did not appear in Pascal first, if at all. "first class closures" means that functions can be freely passed to functions, returned from functions and assigned/reassigned in data structures. Scheme for example can store functions in vectors & lists and return those from functions. PASCAL did not have anything like that in 1970 (The programming language Pascal, Niklaus Wirth, 1970 https://www.research-collection.ethz.ch/handle/20.500.11850/... ).

I would also doubt that PASCAL in 1970 had downward closures. One could pass functions & procedures as arguments (not as part of other data structures), but could I use non-local variables? There seemed to be a restriction for recursive functions that they could only use local variables. I would then not expect that this would be much different for passed functions.

Had anxiety and depression from anxiety. Got lexapro and didn’t like how it felt. Switched to welbutrin, and it worked great to get off the couch and made anxiety about being late or not doing things way less. Still like an XL in winter months. Benzos felt like a magic bullet for anxiety, a little too good, you can see why they are addictive. But you sound like a good candidate for some short term temazepam or something. Anyway, after all this, saw a naturopath. Gave the rundown of everything, all my symptoms, why I tried, what those things helped or didn’t help with in a massive 3 hour interview. Ran a battery of blood and urine tests for a baseline. I was near the bottom but within the “acceptable range” of the bell curve. But then I remembered that are statistics are lies, bell curves say nothing about the individual, my naturopath agreed and got a tiny dose 25 microgram of levothyroxine and that was it, that was my life changing drug. Low thyroid is so often misdiagnosed in younger people. Sometimes a TSH or T3 level in the acceptable range does not mean it’s enough for you. The thyroid regulates all other hormone systems including the anxiety hormones and the confidence hormones such as testosterone. If I were you I’d get some short term benzos to give you the courage to see a naturopath and then inquire about your thyroid. It’s super common for your thyroid to be fucked up, and many environmental and genetic factors can affect it. There’s even autoimmune things. If you have allergies and the like, it’s almost certain your body will eventually try to eat it’s own thyroid. Seriously, check it out.
I made my point. Pointing to additional examples of grandiosity (some might call ambition) doesn't invalidate it. Neither do attacks on his character or lame arguments like "Tesla wasn't started by Musk" ignoring that he grew the company from 4 people to 100,000 people. Or that somehow recruiting large amounts of NASA and MIT talent is a bad thing? That's good leadership.

Seriously? Either you're trolling or you have some irrational hatred of the guy.

Early in my career I worked for a contracting firm that established a secure position in a host company by being willing to take on maintenance of a code base that had been created by a code generator. It wasn't AI-generated, but it was a similar situation where none of the captive employees wanted to slog through the generated code, and my bosses were more than happy to take huge wads of cash to do it. So, the crusty old contractor in me kind of says, "Bring it on."

I suppose you're technically correct (the best kind of correct ;) but I am not so sure that the brand-recognition metric is the best one to apply to Stripe.

PayPal and Square both have a strong B2C presence. PayPal has B2C offerings focused around sending/receiving money. Square, while they don't have a strong B2C product, does spend a lot of time sticking their logo in your face every time you go to a merchant that uses Square.

By contrast, Stripe is an infrastructure company. The best parallel I can think of might be a company like Maersk (one of the world's largest container-shipping companies). Sure, you may not recognize the name if you're not in the space, but odds are that they do affect your day-to-day life as a consumer.
> My late friend Stan Ulam used to remark that his life was sharply divided into two halves. In the first half, he was always the youngest person in the group; in the second half, he was always the oldest. There was no transitional period.
I now realize how right he was. The etiquette of old age does not seem to have been written up, and we have to learn it the hard way. It depends on a basic realization, which takes time to adjust to. You must realize that, after reaching a certain age, you are no longer viewed as a person. You become an institution, and you are treated the way institutions are treated. You are expected to behave like a piece of period furniture, an architectural landmark, or an incunabulum.

This was unexpectedly accurate.
Honestly I don’t mind either way. I know how much FAANG pays, funded startups who have a clue pay the same salaries but have illiquid variable comp through stock. I’m OK doing startup stuff with my startup friends and working at a hyper growth stage company for less liquid comp for no other reason than I think it’s fun. Just like how some people like country music and I like heavy metal, just pure preference.

Now if the company is a big company, not an interesting job, and there’s no salary listed, I’ve played that game before already. I’d rather just grind leetcode and go to Google then apply.

I’d encourage everyone to figure out what kind of role and culture they’d like first, then find the job. You’ll be happier for it, and any company is more than happy to throw a bit extra money at someone who’s a perfect fit.
I'm esl and from phone, but this story is important.
My best friend brother was in the same situation, 18, all day on pc, anime.
People around him would tell the kid to do this or that.
Thing is, if a kid is stuck, he doesn't know how to unstuck. He doesn't know how to do this or that thing that seems so easy to people with a place in society.
So, on my specific indications(I'm truly a savior of the NEETs), the brother spent an afternoon with the kid compiling a resume and also subscribing him to various youth employment programs. A few months later the kid had a job thanks to that afternoon.

Moral of the story: don't tell others what to do, help them do it, especially if they are kids.

It's a perfectly reasonable heuristic to be wary/skeptical of sources with very bad track records. Nobody is trying to make a logical argument that the article is bad because of where it is published.
It is not a syntactic burden, because it provides valuable information to the code reader. It is very important to me that I can quickly spot all places where execution can wait. For example, the user interface should take that into account, because noone likes programs that freeze temporarily waiting on something.

Also, await points are places where execution can jump threads - this is critical to thread safety analysis. Making them invisible in a language that doesn't offer reliable data race detection is a similar idea like making types invisible in a language with dynamic and weak typing.

And finally a model where await is implicit and automatically inserted by the compiler/runtime is less expressive (more limited) than async/await. For instance you wouldn't be able to do this if await was automatically inserted on each async thing, because they'd run sequentially and I don't want to:

let future1 = do_one_async_thing();
let future2 = do_another_async_thing();
let (res1, res2) = join!(future1, future2);

> Threads and queues are (IMHO) fairly easy to understand and work with

1. Sure, goto is easier to understand than for loops, ifs and functions. And it has its place, and I agree sometimes it can make things simpler. But I wouldn't want to work in a language where it is the only control flow construct.

2. Threads and queues are present in Rust as well, so that's not the reason Go could have an edge here.

One reason to vaccinate is to make sure that you don't spread it. This reads as if you feel as if the only reason to get vaccinated is to ensure that you don't have to have it but that isn't worthwhile for you as that's at worst inconveniencing. For someone else it may be much much worse. It's for them those of us with good health vaccinate, not for ourselves.

I have been thinking to myself whether I should pick up Go or Rust as a new language this year.

Coming from a NodeJS background, Rust looks a tad more complicated but it looks cooler. There are also more job listings looking for Golang than Rust which makes me wonder if Golang might be a more rewarding investment?

What would be a good use case of Rust than Golang cannot do given its extra complexity and potentially lesser monetary reward? Any advice on which I should pick as a new language to learn?

> and are not allowed under any circumstance to remove those root certificates

Browsers would be forbidden from just deciding on their own to remove a root, but I imagine trust agents can lose their status and get removed from all browsers if they misbehave.

Decision on removal would lie with some EU agency though, not with individual browsers.

Do you have some more information about the actual differences between the requirements? I'd be interested to know and the article is certainly not telling them.

> mostly related to name collisions, and the mostly manual process of vetting information being prone to errors

What name collisions are those? If it's the old issue with confusing company names, the new certificates are supposed to contain a street address and a unique identifier to resolve that.
I think the intent should matter, but how to capture this in the letter of the law is the question.

The intent is wildly different between actual journalism, and indie film or art project shoot, and behaving obnoxiously towards bystanders in order to directly convert attention into money.

I don't know how much of a practical obstacle your language skills are for communication -- I'm guessing it's not actually a significant problem -- but you might want to work on your spoken and written English in case that affects other people's perceptions of you or your own confidence (like during those oral interviews).

I think someone else's suggestion in this thread of finding non-work opportunities to talk about technology in English could be very helpful. Or even just trying to find some more people to socialize with in English sometimes.

No, you don't. Only the most common combinations have their own Unicode number. Most combinations can simply be combined by base and accent ("Mark") numbers. Unicode is not that stupid.
Ok, no one has given a good answer to this yet. The “internal valuation” is a 409a valuation and the primary use case is for the tax basis for options granted within 12 months of the grant date. Stripe gives double trigger RSUs so this won’t directly impact the large majority of employees getting RSUs, but they may choose to offer more equity for refreshers or new hire grants, this has little/nothing to do directly with 409a. 409a also is not used by investors to value shares, it has nothing to do with “mark to market” pricing of funds who own stripe equity communicating the value of their investment to LPs in the fund. There are 3 ways to calculate a 409a valuation, specified directly by the IRS, they’re all a very naive way to value companies, and once again the whole point is to have a tax basis for options grants. 409a vals are nearly always below the latest private financing valuation and it is generally in the employees interest to keep the 409a as low as possible for as long as possible to keep the tax basis as low for exercising options. The strike price in options directly comes from the 409a valuation, the basic idea is that (strike price) * (total number of outstanding shares) = 409a valuation. If you do this, the options the company gives you have no value according to the IRS so they are not counted as income. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
This game is what got me addicted to programming, which basically set the course of my life since I've been doing it professionally for 20 years. I reimplemented a barebones version of it after studying qbasic for a while in an intro to programming course when I was 13, and the feeling of power and amazement it gave me has never really left.

My teacher's response to seeing my game was 'your explosions don't look as good as they do in scorched earth'. He was a charlatan who I already didn't respect so the feedback didn't really affect me, but I can only imagine how crushed I would have been if I was one of those who were naturally respectful of authority...I honestly have no idea what I would be doing, since I don't really have any other useful skills.

Symptomatic infection is not the point of vaccination. The important bit is this: “Previous infection alone, BNT162b2 vaccination alone, and hybrid immunity all showed strong effectiveness (>70%) against severe, critical, or fatal Covid-19 due to BA.2 infection.” Though they didn’t list actual percentages, other studies showed vaccination provided ~90% reduction in deaths.

That said there are conflicting studies: “This report details the findings of a case-control evaluation of the association between vaccination and SARS-CoV-2 reinfection in Kentucky during May–June 2021 among persons previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 in 2020. Kentucky residents who were not vaccinated had 2.34 times the odds of reinfection compared with those who were fully vaccinated (odds ratio [OR] = 2.34; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.58–3.47).” https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7032e1.htm?s_cid=mm...

The nuances are complicated. False positives are a real concern for people avoiding vaccination. People that survive the first infection without vaccination are a meaningfully different population than the vaccinated population. Similarly people that get vaccinated after infection have received vaccination more recently etc.
