No wonder we call it code. I can read most programs and get a hunch of what's going on. With assembly like this I'm completely blank.
I've found it to be much faster, with large amounts of data, like numpy arrays. And, some things aren't possible to convert to JSON, without writing a bunch of code to do the serialization/deserialization, which often makes things slow again.
no - but the context is shifting, from Chat -> Clips -> Streams. Though it's still mainly a medium to deliver adverts.

Social networking has pretty much replaced TV & traditional press - now it too must morph.

the biggest obstacles though I think to the social network are the app stores - not necessarily their own decisions but what politics of the day may impose on the store.
But they aren't outraged by collaboration agreements with the largest privacy invaders on the planet?

Dolphins are better adapted to this as they can turn off half their brain (and vice versa) while still functioning and alert for up to 15 days straight.

And to add on there's lots of people can afford a three bedroom house but it's just too much house which I think was the original sentiment. Of the people who are buyers that I'm directly associated with I'm seeing people who can practically pay cash for a house but they are just not seeing new construction that is appealing to them. It's too much house for a lot of people especially when you think about the long term expenses of owning such a large structure. If there wasn't a demand for good+ quality smaller buildings for people that have the ability to buy the concept of 'downsizing' wouldn't be as much of a thing. These people would happily buy new construction for full sticker but the long-term logistics of managing that property just is not what they want. Even when I was home buying none of these cut-and-paste mansions fit what I need it for and they were so expensive that doing modest customization to them to make them suitable for my needs priced me out. While there are many issues in the US housing market the build/reno as an investment vs. build to suit or reno to suit is certainly a slice.
In regards to de-provisioning we are not relying on a SSO provider. The SSO provider plays a bigger role for us when onboarding an organization to read out what applications have been used by whom.

Would love to understand your case better. Are you using Azure SSO and Okta SSO in parallel? Without knowing the specifics of your tool landscape I believe we can help you there. Here is my calendly in case you want to share more details: https://calendly.com/accessowl/30-minutes-pdt

"The number of lonely single men is on the rise" due to "modern dating's higher standards"

"... straight women are increasingly better positioned to have their pick of other suitors who actually meet their standards"

If there are fewer men who meet their higher standards, how are [women ages 25 to 45] better positioned to have their pick of them? If their dating standards increased it would shrink the pool of eligibles and increase scarcity for women too.

I was just thinking this.

Personally I've migrated from sharing things with friends and family on Facebook/Instagram, to a few group chats where friends and family share photos, life moments, etc.

Somewhere along the line Facebook and Instagram made me feel like my personal photos and updates were competing against ads and other more engaging content in people's feeds, and I felt like I wasn't communicating with the people that I was on those platforms to communicate with in the first place.

Judging by the increase in messages I get through more private channels with casual update content, I don't feel alone.

I would be curious if others have had similar experiences.

I've previously spent some time manually sending CCPA deletion requests to a variety of data brokers, and I've even tried two paid services. I know the effort is pyrrhic, and there's probably no way to remove all the information.

Does NetBSD still really run on real VAXen? As I recall, there was a time when NetBSD current was broken on VAX, the cross compilation process had gone wrong and no-one noticed. Can't find a source, but I can find an email mentioning that issue: https://www.mail-archive.com/tech-kern@netbsd.org/msg12018.h.... Are there people still running it, or is this just an emulator and cross-compilation thing?

I can't find any proof either way.

I know OpenBSD has a policy of no cross compilation and only real machines, but they dropped support for VAX years ago.

You basically can do that. One of the limiting factors is your ability to metabolise energy sources into energy your body can use. Improve that by increasing your fitness and your cognitive ability will be improved as well.
Metaprogramming should be limited, and metaprogramming in C is quite brittle and almost nobody really understand the execution model of he preprocessor. But, dismissing the preprocessor outright is too quick a conclusion. There are some clever and very practical uses of the preprocessor.

- portability

- generate strings from identifiers

- Insert file and line of the call location (or other context) automatically when calling a function.

- X-macros

- Scopes with exit statement given at beginning,
hacked using "for" statement and a condition that
evaluates to true only the first time. A little bit
brittle when the exit statement must not be skipped (goto, return).

I'm sure there are more, but I'm too tired to think harder... Here is an example of the last category:

#define TIMED_SECTION_(name, t) FOR_SCOPE(Timer t = start_timer(); print_passed_time(name, t))
#define TIMED_SECTION(name) TIMED_SECTION_(name, UNIQUE_NAME())

Not giving the FOR_SCOPE() and UNIQUE_NAME() macros here for brevity. They add another 3-5 reusable lines. Use like this:

TIMED_SECTION("foo the bar")
{
/* Do stuff, time spent in this scope will be measured and printed on scope exit. */
}

Other more advanced languages can do some of the same things, sometimes more robustly, or not at all (X-macros is probably hard to replace for languages that are not LISP). But it typically comes at a cost in complexity, hard to use type systems, complicated semantics with edge cases... And they only allow you to do what is already built into the language!

Sony has been doing PC releases recently of many former exclusives from studios they own, like with Horizon: Zero Dawn and God of War.
Interesting study but the authors themselves highlight many limitations which the journalists sadly did not take note if, e.g.

https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s1291...

> The single questionnaire administered at recruitment was the only method of assessing diet and lifestyle information; therefore, we could not account for changes in the diet group or covariates over time. Additionally, food and nutrient intake in vegetarians in recent years could differ from when data were collected at recruitment due to changes over the last two decades in the availability of vegetarian food products, such as increases in the number of available meat substitute products [49]. Consequently, the generalisability of our findings to modern-day vegetarians is reduced.

But for me more striking are some things that are not explicitly checked, e.g. they excluded from their data those that had prior hip problems and the meat eaters were on average significantly older - could there be some selection?

Also studies seem to get somewhat different results depending on the exact data:

> Other epidemiological studies have found that adherence to diets low in meat consumption, such as the Mediterranean diet and Alternative Healthy Eating Index, was protectively associated with hip fracture risk [33, 34], and adherence to Western diets in which meat consumption is high was positively associated with hip fracture risk [35]. Conversely, total meat intake has been inversely associated with hip fracture risk [21]. These results cannot be fairly compared with risks in vegetarians and non-vegetarians, which no other study has directly assessed.

Most interesting is this table:

https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s1291...

What is not clear to me is how the final % is reached as those that died during the 20 year study period are taken into account up to their death. So a woman died of cancer at year 10 gives 10 years of 'no hip fractures to the pool of years while a woman that lived throughout the study

If I do a simple division of cases divided by person years I get the following "annual chance of hip fracture":

* Regular meat-eater: 394 / 252610 = 0.1559‰

* Occasional meat-eater: 247 / 145639 = 0.1695%

* Pescetarians: 80 / 74077 = 0.1079%

* Vegetarian/vegan: 101 / 84042 = 0.1202%

In words: pescetarians have the lowest annual chance of hip fractures (11/10.000), followed by vegetarians (12/10.000). Meat eater have the highest chance of fractures, with occasional meat-eaters (17/10.000) having a higher chance than regular meat-eaters (16/10.000).

Unless I read this data VERY wrong the chance of fractures is much lower for vegetarians and vegetarians than meat eaters.
Thanks for your engagement, but you're doing little more than just linking to conventional wisdom -- how do you explain the explosive rise in diabetes and obesity that has coincided over the last 40 years with a reduction in our red meat consumption?

I want to see more niche social networks that are only for one thing. I actually really like Strava which is for workouts only. There’s no way to share pictures of inspirational text. I’ve never seen anyone abuse the platform by sharing a run that is actually 0.1 miles plus a rant about Fox News or anything like that.

If I were independently wealthy I’d spend my time building a newsfeed for musicians to share music things where it’s similarly impossible to post pictures of text or news articles. You’d need to be vigilant to prevent it from overstepping the way LinkedIn did.

The challenge is that if you can share photos or video or links at all, it becomes terrible.
I completely agree. In my view group chats on apps like WhatsApp much more accurately mirror how humans actually communicate in real life. That is to say it's more like a spontaneous conversation rather than social media which is more like a narcissistic advertising board for your life.
Where does classmates fit into the picture?

I don't think too people actively use them, but some people do. I'm actually unsure how Classmates actually works --is it a subscription model, what's it's business model and could it end up morphing into the TheFB of old but subscription based? Maybe the draw of advertising money is too strong to resist.
Yes. This is true, and personally I agree. But, for example, many groups in the US who have not had the privilege of living in the suburbs historically are now doing so given the opportunity. Single family housing is a status symbol and will continue to be. https://imgur.com/a/oOcq2K2

Urban3 has done some very interesting research into who pays for the suburbs. Guess who pays? It’s not the suburbs!!

Don't you find the background rumble of the air in the vents very enervating? I was in a friend's place with a heat pump, and I felt like I was inside a badly tuned organ. Lots of atonal near-subsonic rumbling. I think heat pump vendors need to learn about acoustics: standing waves, reverberation, phase interference.

That's content-farm rubbish trying to drive downloads.
Companies paying for exclusives so customers will pay to access exclusives feels like bad economics. It's reduces the number of people something can be sold to. My best explanation is that it's developers and content creators selling potential upside in return for reducing their risk - Microsoft can diversify between multiple games.

I suppose it's a bit like advertising a platform that makes money via advertising, which hasn't collapsed yet.

While you aren't using the words "algorithm" or "social", another perspective to see is that the "medium" is not just video. It is a specific type of short, repeatable, and trivialized pieces of video content. Created by mostly individual creators in niche social networks that convey extreme feelings of pain and pleasure in an infinite feed.

TikTok is addictive in every category. People are addicted to it just like people are addicted to other mediums like books, radio, and tv. Creators are also addicted to creating for it manipulated by incentives and sponsorship opportunities. It is a borderline technological narcotic.

To be human is to be addicted to something. We are addicted to the many "wants" in our lives being sold through these 15s-3 minute videos.

The world is getting older as well. The US will find itself increasingly competing for young, working age immigrants with other western nations. People in the developing world will also have less incentive to immigrate as their nations become more and more developed (look at India - it's still a much poorer than the US, but that gap used to be a whole lot bigger).
There's a Plenty of Fish or OK Cupid survey somewhere where heterosexual female respondents reported sex within the last year at a much higher rate than heterosexual men. The implication is that some of the more attractive men are having sex with more than one woman. There are some other surveys out there

In my personal experience, the average person having sex with more than one partner is unlikely to identify with the term polyamory. It's not as mainstream as the internet makes it seem.
No, it’s not. And you better be shut up about it if you know what’s good for you, pardner.
I think dotfiles is the best convention I've seen for hidden files.

With "hidden" being a file attribute (like on MS-DOS), you'd have the risk of a filename collision with a file that you don't know is there.
If you load www.gov.uk, you'll see it's loading several fonts (each of which is roughly equal to the size of jquery), google analytics, several javascript bundles, and other crap. It is far from simple effective HTML as described by the link.

jQuery is probably the least of their problems. And ironically, the blog with the jquery article on it loads jquery! I realize it's not part of the same site.
> Don't be obtuse. Had members of Congress not evacuated their chambers just the fact a mob was outside the doors would be holding them hostage. Several rioters had flexi-cuffs and other bindings. It's not terribly difficult to hold someone hostage. It's downright easy for a large group of people to imprison a smaller group, especially one composed of unarmed geriatrics.

Yes it is quite difficult for a group of unarmed and unorganized rioters to subdue a highly trained and well armed security force, much less perform a coup.

What would have been a worse case scenario here? They burst into the capital chamber, subdue dozens of armed guards in unarmed combat, and then seize control of the federal government by threatening to beat members of congress with flagpoles?

There is no evidence of this being anything other than a riot. And for the year 2020, it was a relatively tame one.
As an aging Boomer I find this ghosting shit completely unacceptable. Are Millennials really such delicate flowers that they can't be bothered to tell someone they're not going to hire them?

I have the funny feeling they're importing these practices from their dating life. I would find it unacceptable in that context as well, but to be honest as long as I stick to my age range I don't see that happening. Our generation was just brought up better than that.

Yet our cars still can't fly, and still emit greenhouse gases...
Agreed. What I love about Strava is it leverages some of the same darker parts of the human psyche that traditional social media does (desire for social status by showing off etc), but in doing so it encourages its users to actually do something extremely positive. It makes me think of how I'd like to see a really well made addictive VR based MMORPG that encouraged its users to exercise in some way to progress.
Having done several system design interviews, most of the time they're badly executed. When I asked for some detailed requirements they cannot disclosure them. However in the end they have those hidden requirements and I've failed because my system doesn't meet those requirements.

It's a bad way to conduct a system design interview by having a design in mind and hoping the candidates will reach that with limited knowledge / guidance.

Most animal feed is in fact not edible - that is my point, animals are very good at converting stuff you can grow anywhere (like grass), stuff that wouldn't give you much nutrition beyond carbs (wheat?), and stuff you wouldn't like to eat anyway (like left overs from the brewing industry). Replacing animals in our food chain without mass starvation/malnutrition would appear to be impossible.
> I think that's quite honest reporting given both the volume of emails that will be sent, and how unwelcome they will mostly be.

I think you should clarify this, changing the IMEI in most countries is a criminal offence, do not keep brushing this topic off.
