Funny how the approach is normalization by demoralization, and how the dev is expected to satisfy his ego by becoming a manager, that is a new adversary for the same manager that is demoralizing them? Diva Dev evolved into Diva Manager?

Nihilism to me is using conformity to a philosophy as excuse to defer real effort.

We put American tradition for profit making before the distribution of insulin; oh well if people can’t afford it <- there, see; nihilism in your system. Indifference to action because your philosophy would not allow it. A convenient scapegoat.

Your unwavering devotion to a specific form of parliamentary procedure hurts people in need.

From the start I suggest alternatives, you deflect exploring them, and repeat what you showed up with; I don’t think I’m the inflexible mind stuck in one modal. Such a patronizing ass; sorry child, none of those alternatives will do, come let me explain the Bill of Rights again.

I’m plenty vulnerable with friends and family. I’m not about to take the pop psych view of an air gapped stranger to heart; reads like you just pulled that out of a glossary of psych terms and do not understand there is an entire diagnostic criteria required to make such a conclusion. Par for the course on social media.

> Money in politics is the root of most of what ails the U.S political system

I disagree that money is the root. Money is still one level above the true root, which is what the money is needed to buy: "Re-election." Thus, an alternative, though unconventional, solution is single-term limits. Once elected to any national public office, you can never run for that or any other elected office again. One and done.

This idea is not without it's share of potential problems, but I think that's true of any potential solution that has a chance of actually working. After thinking it through, I'm pretty sure I'd prefer the "single-term" set of potential downsides over the others.
You are welcome to downvote for any reason you like (but you're in a minority).

I followed each of those guidelines, I was on topic, I didn't comment on how people voted on comments (that was more of an informal survey) and most importantly, wasn't boring.
That’s a lot! I got it recently from London to Stirling. 3 of us travelled - 2 rooms with 2 bunks in each. It was £430 in total.

I would think the distance doesn’t affect the price since they can’t reuse the room. And I assume you pay per room too? My wife booked it so I’m not sure of the exact details. Maybe my assumptions are wrong!
Won't it be the opposite, control will fall further from the end user? All code is served from some remote endpoint, which you're unable to load if your device doesn't attest (like Android safety net) or some other arbitrary reason. That plus browsers are already too complex to replicate.

Unless you mean that we'll have webassembly packaged in nice little .exes or .apks or some other app bundle so we can at least download them?
It's just so much more convenient to single source things and have a consistent experience... No worrying about why these drives failed and these other ones didn't; not so great when they all fail though.
I've seen capsule sizes 1200 mg, 1600 mg, I think 1800 mg. Some were small. Ignore the difference, take a lot, take the big softgels like they were small softgels. Don't take it, eat it.
That’s a feature, not a bug. If we all had the same number one ; then things would not be loaded anything close to evenly. There is some command to find out what the unique ID number is for your particular zones with your naming.
The O'Reilly Learning library includes many Apress and Packt (pretty sure on this one) books. It's not just O'Reilly's own books. It's a pretty massive legal library of technical books, but I don't pay for it myself (my employer pays for it).
With the addition of `GROUP` in 2.0, EdgeDB is as suitable for OLAP as vanilla Postgres is (unless you absolutely need window functions, which we don't implement yet).
That was very informative, thank you
I'd bet $20 he's been repeatedly told this, and his definition of "can't talk to a human" is "can't talk to a human that agrees with whatever demands he's making".

From the reddit post, the demand appears to be to not hold the money for 120 days, and there's no reason for Stripe to agree to that. He also appears upset that Stripe reviewed his company docs after he violated his agreement with Stripe by selling a car, rather than the cellphones he told Stripe he sold.
> Turns out Python can tell you if you are big-endian or little-endian like this:

sys.byteorder

Cool. Handy way to do a quick check. I didn't realize Raspbian on Pi is little-endian.

Most I've used struct is with XBee ZigBee protocol, which uses big-endian.
lol, I read your comment and was like "pfft look at this smug UK-er thinking his best-eggs-in-the-world mean the app sucks" and then the first question I got was ridiculous and suggested I should always buy the cheapest eggs haha. You were absolutely right.
ChromeOS forces an Google-dictated immutable VM image ("termina"). Inside this VM, in LXD containers, you get to run whatever you want. You can have multiple VMs, but they're all the termina image. You can get a shell in the termina VM, but it's pretty pointless, and all useful things are inside the LXD container.

When the hardware supports it (most often true these days), you can run nested virtualization: KVM (inside LXD) inside KVM. That will get you an arbitrary VM image.

They might relax the "Termina VMs only" policy later, but that depends on a bunch more security spending.
Because "SSD fails at a fixed amount of hours" is a recall-level bug and well.. where is the recall then? This should be a class-action lawsuit.
$1500 is already triple damages. Why would they settle for more than that, when they could just default and $1500 would be the amount they owe with no further legal costs.
Yeah, it's a meat grinder. I've been on countless calls where Sally–who smashed records last quarter—is being called on the carpet for small miss this quarter. Miss 2 in a row? Nice knowing you, good luck in your future pursuits.

Another thing I forgot to mention, your best sales people can and will take their customers with them if they go across the street and work for your competition. I've also seen that happen with disgruntled high-performers. We basically lost an entire region a few years back when the star sales rep there decided to go independent and steer her enormous client base to a rival provider.

Everything is extreme in sales. The best earn more, the worst barely make rent.
Interesting page through it... just a series of schema-less JSON files. Already some support in there for important stuff; ex: logback
The Pacific is fascinating. There is so much cultural depth and variety. Papua New Guinea is the core of it genetically, also where Jared Diamond spent a lot of time, unfortunately it's verging on inaccessible due to social problems today.

Many of the colonial fleets have amazing records and objects of trips to this area but they are often cagey about letting anyone see them. Spain comes to mind. I visited their national library in Madrid specifically to see period materials from this region relating to traditional watercraft and they wouldn't let me in. A few weeks later https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wa_(watercraft) was featured on the front page of Wikipedia, no thanks to Spain, whose economic stagnation due to siesta culture apparently also infects their intellectual life.

Portugal has an amazing collection partly visible in the insufficiently promoted Orient Museum on the waterfront in Lisbon, few travelers bother to make it down. Some of their Japanese items are breathtaking.

Holland has entire warehouses full of the spoils of their naval exploits outside of Rotterdam, I was invited to go and view some specific pieces there (mainland Asia; not Pacific) but afterwards received a brief tour and noted their huge collection of PNG folk art.

Some of the better German pieces are held in the Ethnological Museum of Berlin unfortunately you're not allowed to take photographs due to some sort of pernicious interpretation of copyright.

The Czechs have a pretty impressive collection that punches above its weight, I believe in the Ethnographical Museum but could be wrong. Their Technical Museum is tangentially noteworthy for the best historic review of photography I've seen globally.

It's hard to get to the bottom of the Parisian cultural complex but things surface sporadically, about 10 years ago I recall seeing some objects from this region in the MQB which unfortunately has a curatorial policy bordering on the vacuous of presenting objects as high art with an irrational aesthetic emphasis entirely devoid of context.

One of the lesser known ancient western Pacific cultural phenomena are lost wax cast bronze drums https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dong_Son_drum#History
OP's last sentence explains exactly why it's frustrating - because cameras are held back by subpar software. Why do you think being able to explain the root cause of this would make it any less so?

> Response was epic.

As in, no one believed him at the time?

And what does Netflix have a need for SSDs for? Their load seems entirely predictable / serveable / stable with spinning disks and reasonably (but not lightning) fast access patterns? I would have guessed the network latency is always dominant.
I really think it does. Case in point: what about emotional benefits? A whole lot of things humans do has no material benefits yet come at considerable cost: vacations, concerts, hobbies.

Are those "stupid"? Presumably not. But if you allow for such non-material benfit, then what if your "stupid" people who are causing harm to others are actually deriving emotional benefits from it?

What it "stickin' it to the libs" makes them happy or feels to them like bringing a little bit of justice to the world?

How about someone who quits his job (losing money) at just the right time to cause his shitty boss huge problems (and a lot more money loss)?

Is that different? Do you really want to judge which emotional benefits are valid and which are not (and thus "stupid")? And call that a "precise definition"?

I'd propose the increase be tied to minimum wage, even if the multiplier is huge: salary = 200,000 x 7.25, or whatever the math and numbers work out to be.
Of course not. Parent comment is certainly cherrypicking based on whatever anecdotal experience they heard or experienced.

Even if the Sales team happens to hit a home run in a particular quarter, you can bet that Finance will raise targets for the next cycle, and it'll be twice as hard to hit it again. So on a functional company you won't be hitting all goals every time, and the annual income for sellers evens out.

Worth mentioning that, depending on the pay arrangement (individual vs. team-based goals), one specific individual may make a lot more than the average, but the team as a whole won't be making the same.

Ultimately the main difference is between being on a Sales plan (with lower base + higher variable/risk), vs. a more traditional plan with base + stocks + performance bonus.

Also, the average "$150K engineer" is more like a "$300K engineer", at least in the US [1].

There surely is a better way to launch an exe having access to the registry, even if it is just HKEY_CURRENT_USER. Some directory handler or file handler, GUID for launching an exe when desktop is shown etc.

Anyone knows more about alternatives to Run/RunOnce to start an exe? Or maybe, let's leave it for the reader to investigate...
December 2005 article:

"So, the GNOME people have started to focus on questions such as universal access, so if you have motor difficulties or other disabilities, software still should be usable. Likewise, it shouldn't matter what language you use
or character set you need, software should be usable.

Part of Galago and Telepathy comes from getting
beyond questions of windows, menus, icons and
pointers and focusing on the things people really care
about. In Jeff's view, these things are people, events,
documents and sex. When questions of when GNOME 3.0
will be released arose, people have suggested it was a
stupid idea. So Jeff came up with TOPAZ, taking the
first letters from Three Point Zero and inserting some
vowels. TOPAZ is not planned for release at this time."

We went on holiday to London and got the sleeper back. Get on the train at 9pm, get some sleep. The train arrived in our home city at 5am. One hour before your destination you are woken up with breakfast. The room is small, with bunk beds, but it has an en-suite bathroom including a shower.

Note: the train does not go slowly. I imagined a sauntering pace through the countryside, but the thing pelted through.
VSC in the browser effectively connects to some VM via web sockets and computation happens remotely. This I think leverages your own computer to do computation.
Well, there is an article on this on Californian Court website: https://www.courts.ca.gov/9739.htm?rdeLocaleAttr=en

"Small claims cases require that you ask the other side for payment before you go to court (unless there is a good reason why you cannot). You can ask in person, by phone, or in writing. You will have to tell the court you did this and how on your court form."

It does not specifically exclude TCPA statutory damage, so I think it does apply in this case.

And it does logically apply here too, small claims court is somewhere between an actual court and mediation and it is in place to save cost when possible. So it is reasonable to expect they want an attempt to resolve it before even before to file.

Anything else?
It wasnt a multiple choice question, it was a put the steps in order question.

I know that. You avoided addressing either of my points though.

1. Is selling trucks against the terms in general?

2. This is a cell phone store selling a cell phone store truck. It's part of the business, not something unrelated.

If they had thought of it, they probably would have made trucks or no trucks a part of the processing agreement up front. They thought it was a reasonable use, and it might have even been a reasonable use! So why can't this be resolved any sooner or with better communication?
It's probably the same here -- it's enforced extremely selectively and only because they're tired of getting the complaint for the dozenth time.

To verify, they usually have to mark your tires to check you haven't moved the car in the 72 hours (you could've just parked in the same place), so it usually requires two outcalls to even issue a ticket. That's a lot of work when you're anywhere outside of the downtown core where that initial call could be done as part of other work.
Things like cars -- and especially houses -- are in a different category than some random piece of hardware or a bit of server space, though.

With limited exceptions, no one is making more land. So there's a hard limit on the supply of cars and houses, at least until we manage to cover Mars in shopping malls and billboards.
seL4 can barely do SMP. Modern hardware is all multicore. seL4 is not a performance winner outside of the embedded space.

Exactly this. Every time an org loses a senior dev not only with lots of valuable skill and proven productivity and knowledge about how the company works etc it should be affected in the stock price if the place is publicly traded. That’s how much I think it hurts. The replacement cost to bring up other team members or to skill up and train juniors takes a lot of time and energy and money.

Now if this dev left because he or she was an asshole and everyone hated working with them then it could be a net net positive or even if on the whole is negligible then that’s a win in terms of team morale and productivity.
Our own applications are hosted on Azure, but we had an outage today anyway. It was because apparently Netlify and Auth0 use AWS and went down, which took down our static sites and our authentication.

The nature of our business means it wasn't a big deal, but I could imagine lots of people were in the same boat.
Testing that a circular buffer can wrap is a very very low bar though.

I'm not talking automated testes or anything. Just once, on your own machine.

I agree that it is a bit unfair to pick an example after the fact. But it does not inspire confidence.
A few years ago I saw that someone had taken a photo of their back yard using a single light sensor.

The idea was that at each moment of each day, the sun was in a different spot in the sky, and each day it shifted toward or away from the equator. So they stitched the samples together mathematically based on timestamp and a 3d projection of the earth. You could tell it was a backyard, but it was very gauzy, like that moment when you first wake after a nap.

Have you considered cockroachdb as a backend database? I imagine that although the postgresql emulation of cockroachdb isn't 100% complete, the availability story of cockroachdb is miles ahead of postgresql, so perhaps it might be worth whatever adaptations are necessary.
Not a fault of Go, the rewrite just burnt all the time they should have spent improving the product.

They had a working node server and decided to reimplement it from scratch. They started missing demos and weren't able to raise more from existing or new investors before they run out of money.
I suspect the CTO did it on purpose and was just CV building.

"People not actively seeking work" includes retirees -- which may be partially explained by demographic trends (aging boomers).
Don’t make the mistake of overromanticizing the simple solutions. They have nice, well understood failure conditions, and they come up relatively frequently.

When you start playing the HA game, the easy failures go off the table, and things break less often because “failures happen constantly and are auto-healed”. But when your virtual IP failover goes sideways or your cluster scheduler starts reaping systems because the metadata service is giving it useless data, you’re well into an infrequent, complex failure, and I hope you have a good ops team.

It’s always a trade off.
Banning trading individual stocks is not the same thing as banning investing. A blind trust isn't a problem for a huge number of fortune 500 company executives.
They also know about mixing brands/batches/etc. to avoid exactly this kind of correlated failure. During one of my oncalls, we had an uncomfortably large number of failures fitting this kind of pattern, but they were well enough distributed and we had enough data redundancy that there was no data loss. Sometimes there's safety in numbers, if you know how to make those numbers work for you rather than against you.
> Sales people have their own culture, and if you don't understand it you'll have a hard time recruiting and retaining an effective sales team.

Every time I hear something like that, I can't think of a positive comparison. Feels like the stereotypes like "boys will be boys, that's just how they behave", "of course soccer will always involve fights", etc. When I hear about ultracompetitive sales I'm reminded of all the sales people that try to scam you, promise things that are not possible, and chase with multiple follow ups to private comms.
Very nice, and 16 years old, that person will go places.
Honestly why would you quit after the Tom Bombadil part if you love everything but his part. He literally doesn't appear at all after the few chapters he takes up.
Man they really need to explain what is unique about it on the home page better. I know what differentiable rendering and spectral rendering are but neither are mentioned. I have no idea what a retargetable renderer is and it seems like nobody else uses that term at all (seriously - Google "retargetable renderer").
There's still a huge long tail, so iops matter. Netflix definitely wants to minimize any time you ever see a waiting on network spinner.

I dunno what talk the above comment is referring to but most likely the young hero was saying something somewhat clueless, not being kept down by the tyranny of older idiots or whatever is being insinuated. Netflix's content is pre baked. They have to do like a dozen versions of every episode to get the best experience across the variety of hardware, but it's not livestreaming or such. Where they use SSDs it's not an erase/update heavy workload, at least for the CDN part (Netflix does a ton of other stuff including basically running entire movie studios out of the cloud, not referring to that). Density and power also matter a ton as they want their POPs to be as easy as possible to convince people to run at peering points.

Most Western foods! I mentioned in another thread that recently I started learning Creole cooking which starts with a dark roux followed by stopping the cooking process with the holy trinity. This is very similar to espagnole mother sauce and a modified mirepoix (peppers instead of carrots). If you take a cooking course in almost any Western country it'll start with traditional French and Italian methods as a lot of cooking styles evolved from that. Certainly a lot of cooks in the 18th and 19th centuries trained in France (and Italy) taking their skills back home, not to speak of colonization by the French and Spanish.

It's a fun way to learn history actually, following the influences of cooking techniques and trade. And the French were very influential here. The Spanish influenced Mexican cuisine when they conquered the Aztecs, and Spanish aristocratic chefs trained in France, so you can see modifications of classical French cuisine in Mexican prep edited to local spice profiles and ingredients. Etc... Just look at pan dulce!

French cooking is the C of programming in many ways!
