I found this part of the report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics interesting:

"""

The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons increased by 303,000 to
3.9 million in July. This rise reflected an increase in the number of persons whose
hours were cut due to slack work or business conditions. The number of persons employed
part time for economic reasons is below its February 2020 level of 4.4 million. These
individuals, who would have preferred full-time employment, were working part time
because their hours had been reduced or they were unable to find full-time jobs. (See
table A-8.)

The number of persons not in the labor force who currently want a job was 5.9 million
in July, little changed over the month. This measure is above its February 2020 level
of 5.0 million. These individuals were not counted as unemployed because they were not
actively looking for work during the 4 weeks preceding the survey or were unavailable
to take a job. (See table A-1.)

Among those not in the labor force who wanted a job, the number of persons marginally
attached to the labor force, at 1.5 million, was about unchanged in July. These
individuals wanted and were available for work and had looked for a job sometime in
the prior 12 months but had not looked for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey.
Discouraged workers, a subset of the marginally attached who believed that no jobs were
available for them, numbered 424,000 in July, little changed from the prior month.
(See Summary table A.)

There's a sweet spot in the senior to junior ratio that varies based on the scope and scale of the project. I find that I can only handle three or four junior/mid-level programmers in a mentoring role. More than that and I'm spending all my time herding cats. I wasn't actually suggesting excluding junior programmers from projects, just that more senior people should be a plus in most projects.

It's good to keep in mind that junior/mid/senior are shorthand for a spectrum of abilities, not hard milestones in a career. And where a person sits on that spectrum depends on the project, domain, and team, not on number of years or jobs listed on a resume.

Some more junior programmers bring a lot of talent and enthusiasm to a team, some need more guidance and deliberate mentoring and practice. Some understand the business domain, some don't. A lot of individual personality comes into it. I've worked with juniors who need almost no day-to-day supervision, and I've worked with so-called senior programmers who need their work checked every day lest they go off into the weeds.

The main ability I would look for in a junior programmer is communication, both listening and voicing ideas and opinions, attention to detail, caring about the business domain, and getting along with and cooperating with other team members. If they simply can't learn to write production-quality code that will be evident fairly soon (if they even get through the interviews). It's the people who can write code but can't work with a team or larger organization who drag projects down.
To clarify — Id like this to feel like rich text editing. I just dont need all the other rich text editing features like colors, bold, lists, etc. I just want to support highlighting some text, cmd-k to add a url, click to edit the url, etc. Like how adding links to text in gdocs works.
Security and safety are different domains and only tangentially related - i.e. it helps in both domains for code to be correct, but it's not sufficient in either.
I don't think you want the word "literally" there.

this only runs between 3am and 4am.

I can't think of a way to get it in one line. Probably easiest is to split into two jobs.

*/15 1,2,4-23 * * * - this runs every 15 mins except between 3am and 4am

15,30,45 3 * * * - this should cover the delta

It's not shady, as others would have you think.
> I remember that some of the suggested changes from NSA shared with IBM were actually stronger against a cryptanalysis attack on DES that was not yet publicly known

So we have that and other examples of NSA apparently strengthening crypto, then we have the dual-EC debacle and some of the info in the Snowden leaks showing that they've tried to weaken it.

I feel like any talk about NSA influence on NIST PQ or other current algorithm development is just speculation unless someone can turn up actual evidence one way or another. I can think of reasons the NSA would try to strengthen it and reasons they might try to weaken it, and they've done both in the past. You can drive yourself nuts constructing infinitely recursive what-if theories.
Thanks! I figured there was a reason something like this. But I have to say it seems like an eminently solvable problem.

I want the user to be able to highlight some text and add a url to it, like you would with cmd-k in gdocs, sheets, etc. Not just linkifying any detected urls in the text.
Indeed. Defi/Crypto can't solve all of the problems that banks are faced with.
I was annoyed by this - I wanted the stamp as a souvenir. The first time I went to Israel I got the "stamp on a sticker" thing, but the second time I just asked and they explained the reasoning, I affirmed my intent, and they stamped it.

That passport is since expired (it only had 3 years on it, at time of stamping), and my new passport book will get me wherever I happen to go. The souvenir sits safely in my safe.
What botometer does or does not do is completely irrelevant to twitter’s mDAU calculation.

No matter how many thousands of individual features botometer has, it cannot (and will never be able to) tell whether Twitter has served ads to that user today.
Just this week while going through the book _Ideas That Changed the World_ I read the original paper on LISP[1]. I have to say this magazine article reads a bit cleaner. But that's kind of the fun of the book -- learning to decode the excited yet formal language of computational innovation over time.

The book traces out what are effectively conversations across decades (or centuries if you include Aristotle). So when you see McCarthy name drop Church's lambda calculus, you know how it ties into a conversation about Hilbert's decidability problem, and that self-reference ("recursion") is a fundamental tool.

And from the perspective of now, you see that this is the first encounter with automatic garbage collection, describing a simple mark and sweep algo. The BYTE magazine covers a more advanced garbage collector, Lambdino, which assumes a massive amount of familiarity with LISP and internals than the previous article comparing LISP and LOGO.

That entire page suggests extremely opaque behavior for a post about increasing transparency. Where can I find a list of which sites have been manually "downranked" and by how much? What are the "non-governmental" and "non-political" agencies declaring said sites to be whatever you're declaring them to be? Where are the links to the reports that informed your decisions?
Possibly. But it seem unlikely. The deal explicitly says he can back out for a billion dollars.

I struggled for years as a non-economics person to understand how money is produced and if there is a fixed supply of money, how can interest ever be paid.

Going down that rabbit hole is so insightful. We are all stuck in a debt based system. The only way to pay off debts is to print more money and create even more debt. That's all there is. There is no way to eliminate all the debt+interest. None.
I have used plain nixpkgs, poetry2nix and mach-nix for packaging "real" projects. My biggest take away is that python packaging is a hot mess. This isn't exactly news that no one has heard before though.

The initial work for packaging a complicated python app is dominated by sorting through a lot of confusing errors, no matter what tool you use. poetry2nix and plain nix has been my best experience so far in python packaging though.

For my simple python packages, I'm using plain nix and flit, which has been the simplest. It's not feasible for python applications that need complicated dependency version resolving due to python dependency pinning though.

Here's the plain nix + flit example that I really like: https://git.sr.ht/~averagechris/deduper/tree/main/item/flake...

The poetry2nix projects I have worked with are closed source sadly so I can't link them.
There are tens of thousands of pages of products that cannot be imported into the US from particular companies. This is not particularly unique. Start importing stuff from around the world and you'll quickly find yourself in deep legal trouble if you do not understand the law here.

This isn't just the US either. I would say the vast majority of countries have comprehensive import laws.
A $10 manual, high-volume bicycle pump works fine.

Outstanding tip. Thank you VERY much.
Even if the master wasn't digital, how many vinyl mastering engineers used a digital reverse RIAA?

I have a ton of vinyl records myself, never understood why anyone would say they sound better. Vinyl is a compressed format, even if the compression is analog. There is significant loss of signal in the whole signal chain. You need to do reverse RIAA (compression), then you fabricate a master, then you press vinyl from this master which is only good for a few thousand presses, then you have the pickup and at last the RIAA preamp (decompression)...
Twitter replied seeming to say the clause was to provide information only for the purpose of consummating the deal, information that would cause the deal to fall apart by outing their fraud wouldn't be covered by the clause as something they have to hand over.
I find it rather funny that we know about the parallel construction which they attempt to keep hidden, yet don't know about any successful preventions. I would assume they would at least want people to know if a program was a success. To me, the lack of information speaks volumes

This is on top of all the entrapment that we also know about, performed by the FBI and associated informants on Islamic/Muslim communities

The purpose of a system is what it does
What? :D

Who cares about a particular piece of source code? Cryptanalysis is about the mathematical structure of the ciphers. When we say the NSA backdoored an algorithm, we don't mean that they included hidden printf statements in "the source code". It means that mathematicians at the NSA have knowledge of weaknesses in the construction, that are not known publicly.

This is not my experience with XPS 15 (2019). It is substantially slower, it is loud and battery used to last less than an hour. Then constantly dying chargers, I had a box of Dell chargers that worked for a month and then laptop stopped recognising them.
For the tasks I do (I use Docker heavily) M1 is more than twice as fast in low power mode and never heard fans going off or felt any slowdowns.
On XPS if I opened a heavier webpage, it was possible for the entire laptop to slow down and not even refreshing the screen timely, so you witnessed a slideshow and usually only way out was to perform a hard reset.
Also random power off or if it goes to sleep it won't wake up. I have to then leave it for an hour and then maybe it will power on (sometimes I have to try a couple of times). This is actually the same experience I had with earlier XPS 13.
Google XPS won't power on - plenty of people have this problem.
Question.

By "Travellers" do you mean, 'new age travellers' (aka hippies) or the thieving scrotes who live a 'traditional way of life' badly tarmacing driveways?

The former still attend Glastonbury for free (they clean up the site for 'free' entry); the latter are a menace who started to show up and whom I'm glad the fence has now kept out.
Trying to put a theoretical definition on senior is an interesting epistemological exercise but ultimately pointless. Real life does not care about definitions, especially single-bullet-points of those definitions.

Everyone who works as a senior engineer has some strengths and weaknesses, so inevitably you will get some seniors with the weakness that they don’t get along well with other seniors.
You and others have said this multiple times in this thread. Is this documented somewhere on their website? It's hard to just take your word for it looking at the prices.
The full story is interesting and well documented: https://cr.yp.to/export.html

Personally my favorite part of the history is on the “Dishonest behavior by government lawyers” page:
https://cr.yp.to/export/dishonesty.html - the disclaimer at the top is hilarious: “This is, sad to say, not a complete list.” Indeed!

Are you implying that he didn’t contribute to the first win before or during EFF involvement?

Are you further implying that a stalemate against the U.S. government is somehow bad for self representation after the EFF wasn’t involved?

In my view it’s a little disingenuous to call it a stalemate implying everything was equal save EFF involved when the government changes the rules.

He challenged the new rules alone because the EFF apparently decided one win was enough.

When the judge dismissed the case, the judge said said that he should come back when the government had made a “concrete threat” - his self representation wasn’t the issue. Do you have reason to believe otherwise?

To quote his press release at the time:
``If and when there is a concrete threat of enforcement against
Bernstein for a specific activity, Bernstein may return for judicial
resolution of that dispute,'' Patel wrote, after citing Coppolino's
``repeated assurances that Bernstein is not prohibited from engaging in
his activities.'' - https://cr.yp.to/export/2003/10.15-bernstein.txt
I spent a year working on a site that catered to the audiophile world and it blew my mind at the time. The lengths that people will go to are incredible.

There was one guy who had a $200,000 house with over $2 million worth of audio to setup his sound system. He had these special electrical units installed outside his house that were supposed to guarantee a perfectly steady current.
You’re totally right. Missed the the second Sunday part.

Wasn’t aware of the SUN#2 syntax. I find it interesting it used 8,14 as its best approximation. You can see it trying it’s best.
Correct, the Plaintiff's lawyer pointed to the $800k day and said, "on average you make this" and I firmly believe Jones was confused, and tried to correct it, but the goal of the lawyer was to inflate the income numbers to maximize damages.

That being said, I don't understand how they couldn't have gotten all general accounting records as part of discovery, and if they didn't why they couldn't force a forensic audit by court order.
Relegated to a niche subgroup, I see. There's a significant difference between spending time learning a tool and sinking dozens and dozens of hours into a tool in order to perform tasks that are so basic for other package managers.
False flag!
Imagine it playing out in a romance! "You cad. I never wanted to marry you, but I felt compelled to accept your proposal. But now that you are trying to back out, I am trying to force you to marry me, you idiot."

Although in this case, contrary to what it's arguing, Twitter doesn't actually want the marriage to happen. It just wants to keep the $1B engagement ring.
When I was a PhD student, we did similar measurements for LTE and WiFi for multipath TCP. These are non-trivial measurements due to lots of overlaying effects and I honestly speaking do not trust a BSc student to get this right.

Besides that I think the measurement scenario is unfair, as BTLE was designed for a different use case, i.e., always on and always able to overhear beacons. Comparing BT and BTLE for data transmission only is like measuring a race between a horse and a fish in the open sea.
I think it's just both. It's a giant organization of people arguing in favor of different things at different times over its history, I'd guess there's disagreement internally. Some arguing it's critical to secure encryption (I agree with this camp), others wanting to be able to break it for offense reasons despite the problems that causes.

Since we only see the occasional stuff that's unclassified we don't really know the details and those who do can't share them.
Twitter hasn't lost anything due to him? Their share price would likely be lower if not for his dumb shenanigans. The contract is pretty clear that he can walk away for $1B, which is a lot of money.
No it won’t, because those are baseless allegations thrown out in order to add more noise and confusion.

You might get some red state DA eager for some publicity to make a song and dance about it for a bit, but that’s it.

If Musk’s team could produce actual data and evidence of criminal law breaches they’d be reporting them to authorities not adding them as minor points in a civil suit filing in Delaware.
thanks for the feedback. are you gettng the issues just on the story page? or also on the main home page?
I'm a little surprised you're being downvoted. There might be a bit of hyperbole in your words, but no game engine is entirely off-the-shelf per-game. Or, idiomatic code suited to an engine always requires a bit of elbow grease to be ready for shipping.
What other things were you expecting?
There's many other issues to mention, but in the "memory safe" languages you have poor control over memory allocation and fragmentation, which over time can cause issues with performance, size, swapping, etc.

>What differentiates GR and 'mathematical GR'?

Mathematical GR seeks to rigorously derive mathematical properties of the equations underlying GR, such as the existence, stability, and long-range asymptotics of their solutions. It's largely a subfield of branch of math called "nonlinear wave equations".

This all is highlighting the dangers to public companies about political positions potentially destabilizing the business. Part of the responsibility of C level execs is to shield the shareholders from such uncertainty. AAPL should not be dependent on any single region for product and the political climate & COVID restrictions are prime examples why businesses now need to dramatically shift their supply chain dependencies to dilute the risk.
Ah, okay, I misunderstood. Ignore me :D
Up until about a month ago when I bought a Mac Studio, my main machine was a 12 year old iMac. It was maxed out when I bought it, and it's still fairly usable. The downside is it's stuck on High Sierra and won't run Windows 10.

I buy my computers basically maxed out, and use them literally forever.
Right on point. TH encompasses TG, and is really it's spiritual essence.

Yes, there will be political and religious pushback against this. But it is certainly not histrionics, or an overreaction.

With regard to transgenderism, the brutal surgeries are a poor facsimile. Even atheists and those on the left are hesitant to pursue intimate relationships -- and the stories of physical suffering are just beginning to surface.
> They perceive ads as payment for using these services.

The problem is that they've been tricked into thinking 'ads' are the cost that they pay. The reality is that they'll be paying for the rest of their lives in ways they never thought were possible and with no way to back out.

The more people start to learn about how the data they've surrendered for a tiny bit of convenience is, and has been, being used against them they'll slowly come to realize that they've been ripped off and had no idea what they were giving up. They'll discover that they were lied to when they were told the services they enjoy couldn't exist without that sacrifice. By the time most of them catch on it'll be to late, but they'll certainly care then.
I had a couple of generations of XPS and I am not convinced it will be much different. I watched a few comparison videos on YT and there was no contest.

People keep trying to explain to you why you're wrong and you keep on ignoring them and persisting with your original false statement.

The 5% number claimed by Twitter is not the percentage of all accounts that are bots. That has never been the claim. Twitter separates its accounts into "mDAU"s and "other", and they are claiming 5% of the mDAUs are bots. You cannot falsify this claim with "bot experiences on Twitter", because all the bots you're seeing could be correctly classified as "other". Indeed, nobody outside Twitter can falsify this claim because it's a statement about Twitter's internal classification. The only thing that can falsify Twitter's claim is their own internal data, so that's why discovery is being done.
Yeah, what is going on?

>On Thursday the labor department said the number of people filing for unemployment benefits rose to 260,000 last week, up from 254,000 the previous week.
