Onions are effectively a monopoly, the company that packages them contracts the growers before the season so while there isn't a futures market to trade there is the same. (I don't know how effective the monopoly is, could be a number of different companies that compete, but farmers don't plant onions without a contract, and even if they did there is no market if you don't have a contract so the crop is worthless.

Potatoes don't have a future market, and they are still planted. Though I believe even then big names like McDonald's contract all their potatoes in advance.

Realistically a poisoned ARP or DNS attack that redirects your machine's traffic to the attacker's server, both for the download and the download page, is something to be concerned about. This only requires someone to have access to your local network, not to your machine. It could be as innocent as working at a coffee shop from their wifi network and an attacker being on it too...

Ultimately a clickbait article leveraging TokToks market achievements. No info. Nothing substaciated (even a denial).

Given the employment record of TikTok that I've seen lately in UK&IRE (questionable people to say the least), the predicate for drama must need to be terribly thin.

I guess when your product is degeneration of the human mind you get what you asked for
you are one of my heroes, but i just have to say i cannot imagine how you aren’t absolutely exhausted after having to be so transparent 24/7 for like a decade. i’m a pretty transparent guy, but having to have my meetings streamed on youtube and someone shadowing me 80% of the time seeing me at my worst, i can’t imagine. hats off but also i would like your secret to eternal youth, internal consistency and unlimited energy.
Other circumlocutions that I don't think made it into any Romance languages:

"ita" ('it is so', 'indeed')

"ita vero" ('it is so, truly')

"maxime" ('entirely')

"valde" ('very much (so)')

"vere" ('truly')

There are great circumlocutions for "no". I remember Nancy Llewellyn had a whole list, including "haud quaquam" ('hardly/scarcely to any degree'), "nullo modo" and "nullo pacto" ('in no way'), and "nullactenus" ('to no extent'). Latin students are most often taught "minime" ('minimally', 'scarcely').

Without the circumlocutions I think you would simply do what so many other languages described here do, which is repeat the main verb of a question, either negated or not negated.

This is what cracks are for. You paid them already, so I don't think you should feel guilty at all about cracking and using without the dongle.

Wow, thanks for that detailed reply, I'd wondered about old disks.

Also, it's impressive it just runs for that long. Also, also that seems like a small amount of RAM for compiling things these days (though I remember compiling a slackware kernel on a a 486 with 8mb of ram.). I'm assuming it's an older version of gcc

So you WANT ~/.cache/ in ~/.config/? It's enough of a nightmare when Electron-based apps litter their folders in ~/.config with service worker caches, that'd make it even worse. It's annoying to need a gigantic .gitignore for all the cache files in ~/.config IMO.
>On the surface it sounds fair, the best get in, but in reality tests are always +/- a few points given day to day performance, and students who have worse home life (inadequate nutrition, lack of private educational resources, etc) already had to work harder to earn a passing score, so little Johnny who hasn't had breakfast in 2 years being 5 points behind Jennifer who has a private nanny with a degree in early childhood education, is not a fair comparison.

The point of these tests isn't to make fair comparisons of students' whole lives. They are designed (and succeed to varying degrees) to make fair comparisons of a particular skillset across students, hopefully in a way that is highly correlated to the task at hand. In a finite world, that is how you make good use of scarce resources.

Yes, this results in uneven outcomes. If we only have so much of a given resource (teacher time, facilities, learning resources, etc.) to dedicate, then putting the difficult but tailored material in front of Jennifer is a better use of resources than trying to accumulate enough second chances so that Johnny can eventually achieve escape velocity from his circumstances by happenstance.
This is brilliant! I did this at my last gig with great success!

Nothing. This is idiotic attention seeking. Software engineers know that you don't set up a demo and proclaim that a previously demonstrated edge case isn't real because it "works for me". You just fix the issue. That's it.
That’s a great idea! Or something like it.

It’s not really that odd. Your body releases dopamine in response to cold-shock or exercise, presumably to help you perform under moderate stress.
That was not the point of contention, you are just rephrasing things in a desperate attempt to save face and sound logical.

Most Latinos are not undocumented and to make that generalization, which you did, is discriminatory.

I'm curious what was the approach to get enough users to actually use this, also noticed there's dark mode, but I don't see a setting for it. Guessing it's for registered users?

tangent: Why are there still a lot of sites not doing dark mode first. Discord did a great job of this.
I, for one, believe that felons should lose some rights. Personally I think felons should keep speech and voting rights, but anything related to violence should be prohibited.
There's only way to get the same quality content otherwise and it's piracy with good configuration to get HDR and surround.

But I'll be honest, I'm happy with lower quality content most of the time, and my eyesight is perfect.

FHD with modern compression is quite great.
The implication that the best engineers are just the smartest people is, likewise, bizarre and doesn't track with what I've seen.
In Scottish and Hiberno-English the negative-interrogative for the first-person singular present indicative or "amn't" is perfectly correct. Ain't is the common term everywhere else.
in my experience, it's not the transparency that is exhausting. it's the hiding of things.

That might be a concern but if you run the same benchmark , the same amount of times, on the same hardware, with the algorithms being the only difference, then you still get a proper comparison between them, even if the timings are useless outside said benchmark

Would you happen to remember any details on the first 1-100 users strategy? Where did FB get that initial traction from that took it from someone's side project to something a few 100 people on campus were using.

Was there a strategy to get users to engage on the site as well to make it more attractive initially? For example, I read that reddit seeded the initial website with fake users and articles to appear active.

I also read pinterest pursued an invitation only strategy early on and I believe clubhouse recently repeated this sort of strategy through the music industry (not sure how they acquired the initial users).

Genuinely insane. And another neo communist anarchy fantasy.

Except you don't need one ASAT launch per satellite it's completely asymmetric.
The debris in low Earth orbit travels 10,000-15,000 miles an hour. The high energy debris in LEO does all the work. A 1cm piece of debris would render other satellites useless.

Definitely. It’s really frustrating since I’d be willing to pay for quality — so many new shows on platforms from Netflix to Amazon have terrible bitrate and amazing production quality. The creators must be frustrated as well. For example, it’s impossible to watch something like The Wheel of Time or Peaky Blinders without bad compression artifacts in noisy and dark scenes.

I’d pay decent money for a service that has close-to-original quality in 4K HDR and a large selection. But it doesn’t exist! I wonder how the market will respond as services continue to lose content and downgrade quality with “better compression.” (Thanks for nothing, Netflix!) I can’t imagine it will ultimately go well for them.
I was surprised by the volume of the handbook material that applies to the role of CEO shadow. To me it implied a high level of formality and expectation of rigid adherence. Then I found this:

> CEO shadows label the handbook MRs they create with the ceo-shadow label. It's a point of competition between CEO shadows to try to best the previous shadows' number of merge requests.

I am no longer surprised by the length of this section of the handbook.

You sure? For a cloud-hosted app like Fusion/360 I would expect that you're only entitled to 3 years of access to PRODUCT_NAME/CURRENT_BUILD, without an option to rollback to older versions (eg. at time of purchase) on request, and almost certainly without reference to specific functionality. Unless they specifically inform you that older release are available, your contract with them absolutely would allow for removal of features.

Even that spending can often go to help themselves and their friends. For example, Debbie Wasserman Schultz got a "job" on the Clinton campaign as payment for taking the fall for the whole "Screw democratic voters, the DNC will pick their chosen candidate in backroom deals before the primary election" scandal.

Trump too made sure to enrich himself on campaign funds:

"On the day of his inauguration, Trump filed paperwork for his reelection, allowing himself to continue raising money from supporters while he served. As other people filled his campaign coffers, Trump sat back and watched, never donating to the reelection effort. Instead, he did the opposite, taking money out of his campaign by charging for things like rent, food, lodging and legal expenses. In doing so, the president managed to shift $2.7 million from his supporters to his businesses between his first day in office in 2017 and Election Day in 2020, according to an analysis of Federal Election Commission filings." (https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2020/12/10/trump-m...)

They can also take money to offset the cost of the contract violation. "I'll give 40,000 in dark money to break the 24,000 contract you have that says you would make poisoning baby food illegal."

Somehow I doubt injecting more money into politics is going to be the solution to our problems.
I agree. I try to stick to just POSIX make when that's easy to do, but POSIX make is so impoverished that it usually isn't worth trying to stick to just POSIX make.

In general, for most people, make is GNU make. And GNU make is actually pretty decent at a lot of tasks.

Many ridiculous makefile problems I see stem from not using it well. I suggest:

* Use compiler dependency generators (generate .d files and "include" them via make). This eliminates many lines and errors.

* Don't use recursive makefiles.

* Set macros with := or ::=

* Use substitutions so definitions can be changed in just one place and the rest automatically works.

There is no perfect tool for all circumstances. But GNU make is still useful for many circumstances.
More than often, not.

People underestimate this kind of thing.

In my case it was real-time interactive data acquisition from a scientific instrument computer to the PC, into one spreadsheet as a database with live charting, followed by tabular calculation and a client requirements filter before final reportable data was selected and placed on a deliverable Word document.

All automatically to mimic the established 1000-step manual process that produces the same paperwork product.

Which was either emailed or sent to the clients from the old built-in faxmodems we all used to have. Once this was fully established, I had the "paperless" office.

The hard part was the object-oriented VBA in Excel to interface with the antique host's 1979 BASIC through the COM port, and write & read the files to disk (which the antique never had).

One cool thing since it was a COM port (when land lines were everywhere), instead of plugging the antique host into a PC in the lab for Windows data handling, you could alternatively plug the host into an external telephone modem which was set to answer mode.

Then from a remote PC, use that modem to dial in to your instrument and operate from there. Long-distance charges may apply.

Early laptops all had COM ports and good ones also had infrared for communication with business cellphones. You installed the infrared driver and it was a virtual COM port to Windows. You could really call in to the lab from anywhere, no more dependence on a land line. This was before USB or Bluetooth.

Over the years as serial mice had been replaced by PS/2 mice, and external modems replaced by convenient built-in internal ones (since there were so many people on dial-up), laptops no longer had physical COM ports, just telephone jacks. USB and Bluetooth were used as virtual COM ports for cellular sessions but then back in the lab with the same laptop you had to use its built-in modem and a plain telephone cord. You had to connect to the host's external modem by disconnecting it from the phone line, and plugging in your PC to the host modem instead of directly to the host COM port now. Then use modem commands intended for leased-line operation without a dial tone.

Without relying on the continued operation of the antique hosts, it could also open and write files in a common format used by instrument makers to this day.

30 years ago, Lobe was the first to suggest that we should look for exoplanet with the help of gravitational lensing. https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&h... He was also amongst the first to study the epoch of reionization that now forms one of the primary mission directives of the JWST. And those weren't his only firsts, he was also the amongst the first to study the formation of supermassive black holes in the early universe. https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&h...

He has had such an amazing career and has done such great work that it physically pains me to see him slide into Nobel disease this way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_disease He has always been fascinated by the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, but he was such a reasoned person who proposed great techno signatures like looking for pollution as a means to detect industrial-age civilizations.

It’s like watching a giant stumble and hurt himself on purpose. And it gets worse when non-technical people come up to me and ask, “have you heard of Avi Loeb?” Instead of being a beacon for enlightenment, he has gone down the path of spreading conspiratorial ignorance. It is painful to watch such a great career fall this way.

And no, based on my conversations with my professional astronomer friends, no one inside the field takes him seriously anymore. They don’t laugh at him either, they just don’t take him seriously. It’s probably why he doesn’t seem to have a more prominent role with the JWST. Interesting projects don’t want to associate with him anymore. It’s sad.
There is a government insurance program, but the general consensus is it breaks even.

There are also conservation programs where the government takes a multi year contract on marginal land, but you will earn more money farming the land in most cases, unless it is a swamp or something.
