As CEO, you get to decide if you have to hide things or not. And if you do, everyone underneath you will also hide things, and then everyone has to come to you for anything. I call this "hub and spoke" leadership. It's extremely tiring, but some people love the attention, or just don't know any better, or maybe just want the job security.

So there is ionizing radiation, and non-ionizing radiation.

The worst that non-ionizing radiation can do to you, is burn you. Just like all stoves, an induction stove is non-ionizing radiation. So just like all stoves, it can burn you (if you touch the steel pan). Even the heat from a flame is non-ionizing radiation.

Microwave ovens also use non-ionizing radiation -- specifically, they use sub-infrared light -- AKA, radio waves. In your body, there are molecules that due to their shape & constituent ions have a dipole moment (water being the most prevalent example.) The dipole moment causes the molecule to vibrate, i.e. heat up in the presence of an E-M field. This is exactly why sunlight feels warm: it is jostling the dipole-momented molecules in your skin. The only reason microwaves are "scarier" than sunlight is, meat is translucent to radio waves, so microwaves -- despite being less energetic than visible light -- can heat up the inside of you where there are no pain receptors.

Then we have ionizing radiation, like UV, X-ray, Gamma-ray, etc. Ain't nobody cooking with those.

TL;DR don't worry unless you're standing next to an unshielded kilowatt radio transmitter.
Interestingly enough, in Southern California a significant percentage of border agents are Chicanos. Border security and immigration policy isn’t a race issue, no matter what certain ideologues would have you believe.

It’s interesting to me that many Chicano families can trace their history back to the old Spanish Empire. They’ve literally been Americans longer than nearly all Anglos.
You don't need to destroy them outright. You can also help people vote with their feet.
Yeah I mean what are the dose rates? You need 100 mSv acute or 300 mSv over a year to get the first small increase of cancer risk from a baseline risk of 40%. Is anyone getting even remotely close to 300 mSv from this in a year? I highly doubt it. At that level every kid with a $50 Geiger counter from Amazon would see it everywhere.

You can detect even a single atom decaying. The difference between the threshold of detection and the threshold of damage is astoundingly large in radiation.

I'm pretty sure people are overblowing the radiological risks here without being quantitative. Let's talk dose rates in mSv/yr or not talk.
Thanks, and I agree, make can work well for data pipelines.

When you're integrating many different data sources with a complicated set of scripts, it's important to automate what you can. The easy but impractical thing to do is rerun everything. Make, properly used, will rerun everything that needs to be run in the correct order... and nothing else. GNU make is also awesome for running things in parallel.

It must be really hard to play when you can't swipe. I suggest playing determinism; it should completely eradicate your control issues.
FAANGs would pass on Donald Knuth, their entire process is made to find devoted soldiers who will memorize every algorithm and sit through 10 interviews and are too naive to think for themselves. Corps want to say "Do this, fast, using what you know" and the candidate says "Right away!". Knuth on the other hand would say "Hold up, there might be a better way, screw the deadline, I'll find it". Corps don't want that.

The presenter is Mattias Andrée and is allegedly an active Neo Nazi in Stockholm according to a public post from Swedish Antifa in Swedish (use Google Translate). Posting from a throwaway for obvious reasons.

This being said, he is the only Neo Nazi I know of in the Suckless community and I know of more than a handful of Anarchists. So my takeaway has always been that maybe they attract extremists more than that they have some sort of weird Nazi bent and appeal.

My personal stance is that the software is fine and that using it is fine. The community lacks a spokesperson to defend itself due to its fairly decentralized nature. So there is really no they that you can ask for a statement. Frankly the fact that these accusations surface all the time is beginning to border on being slanderous as I am sure other communities have their hidden Nazis as well.

Suckless seem to genuinely believe in older ideals of "code speaks" and "keep politics out" when you look at their behavior. Given how incredibly marginal their influence and user base is, do we really need to go over them with a fine comb or can we perhaps safely leave them alone?

I imagine this would work in wsl+terminal? Or maybe it doesn't?
Unfortunately the Editions system (as nice as it is) only works for the language, not for the standard or core libraries. It's possible to create such a system (similar to glibc symbol versioning), but AFIAK Rust doesn't currently have one.

They don't, and this is very cheap as far as software like this goes.
Several years ago I advocated transitioning our academic robotics research lab to using Fusion 360 as our default for design. I regret that choice more and more with every decision like this. We are rarely affected by these changes on our academic license, but I hate to see students invest in a tool that may suddenly become unreasonable to continue using later.
My experience in Singapore is that AC is either not used at home (except during the hottest days) or set very high. When I visited an office there it was set at 27C (82F).
no spaces in japanese, it's tricky to determine word boundaries and conjugations and multiple "spellings" of the same word. the libs that tokenize and de-inflect languages are usually highly specialized technologies for east asian languages (maybe others but i'm particularly familiar with japanese, korean, chinese)
Looks nice, checked it out on newegg. Unfortunately this looks problematic:

Each motherboard includes centralized management software with support for out-of-band management, so they're also an efficient and cost-effective option for IT administrators.

Maybe it is easily disabled. Probably more board than I need though. Integrated graphics is enough for me; I edit text files for a living.
Aren’t most common vegetable cooking oils already toxic due to the source product being soaked in solvents during manufacturing process?

My understanding is that you want to buy cold expressed oils to avoid these nasties.

Apple desperately needs a CEO who cares about UI.

In fairness, so do most big tech corps. It's rare.
FreeCAD is just a parametric modeler with export capability. There are an ecosystem of plugins to provide various CAM capabilities, and finite element modeling like the OP is about, but it's not integrated together like Fusion 360 is.

I think the current state of open-source CAD/CAM is a looong way from matching what Solidworks or Fusion 360 can do out of the box.

He deserves way more than that, but the issue isn't that he wants the field trip. The issue is that he's saying that it's to hunt for alien tech.

There are missions all the time to recover remains of meteoroids that didn't burn up. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2018/antarctic-meteorit...

But people don't exactly go running around saying that they're trying to find Thor's spaceship from that time O'Neill, Carter and Teal'c blew it up. (sorry huge Stargate fan) Even if he finds nothing, will the conspiratorial people believe that? Or, will they believe that The Powers That Be hid the Top Secret Alien Technology from the enterprising scientist?

He's adding fuel to the conspiratorial fire.
Streams would be my top guess. I use VLC mostly for a hundred internet-radio streams (today there are over 30,000! relayed by many services!) Imagine the authoritarian nightmares that unfettered access to world-wide radio in dozens of languages might arouse. Unfiltered news! Hedonic music! Other cultures!

Wait! we can blame foreign hackers !!
Isn't it the same issue with oils and high heat during cooking and seasoning?
Presumably air-gapped installs will not receive the update to disable the feature.
Somebody there probably worked at EA previously. Here's the conversation:

"I know, we'll focus on the incredible compute power that only The Cloud can provide! We can say... 'reduce your capex by leveraging our best-in-class simulation engine. Your existing commodity hardware just got a lot more powerful.', or some such bullshit. Whaddyathink?"

"No go. We tried that with Sims 4, and it just pissed off our user base even more. This move isn't going to make friends; best we just rip the band-aid off and avoid fluffy justifications."
I didn't say anything of the sort

Kitty was alright but I prefer a bitmap font in terminals and I'd rather have one that just lets me use it without having to do tricks which you have to do with Kitty.

This is great! I would love to shadow the CEO like this and understand what they do and how they do it. However I fail to understand how this gives the CEO nay feedback about their own job as mentioned in the post.
Stallman's problem is that he has a savior complex, is an extremist only interested in complete software freedom not incremental progress, is exceptionally emotionally immature (namely, splitting: everything in computing is either free and good, or evil if not completely free, by his definition of free), and narcissistic in the extreme.

Last but not least: he lacks the ability to recognize the advantages (if only for implementing his own goals) of perspective-taking, compromise, being physically presentable (ie dressed decently, hair groomed, body clean), the slightest bit amicable/sociable...

....and not doing things that are socially repugnant. Such as threatening suicide when women won't date him (numerous independent accounts of such behavior, mostly with women who were very young), picking his toe cheese and eating it on a stage (there is video proof of this), repeatedly expressing extreme views around sex trafficking and pedophilia (and then when called out on it, nothing but petulance), hosting semi-clothed cuddle sessions on bare mattresses in his office at a university campus office building, and so on.

He's so blind that he can't even see that his continued presence at the FSF in a leadership role has cost the FSF the vast majority of its working relationships with other organizations, free software or corporate. The FSF board is right there next to him; they're so devoted to him that even when almost the entire open source community says "if you won't fire Stallman, we're done working with you", they won't get rid of him.

Stallman and the FSF had been increasingly irrelevant in the thirty years proceeding the whole pedo/trafficking emails and sexual harassment blow-up. Given the reaction from both, they've since become even more irrelevant.
Here's what I do to avoid sticking:

1) Put drop of vegetable oil in stainless steel pan

2) heat until oil begins to smoke

3) quickly spread oil with paper towel or silicone brush, or by tilting the pan, then remove pan from heat

The pan now has a thin non-stick film, but it is too hot for butter or eggs, so...

4) let the pan cool down a bit

5) add butter

6) add egg

If I do that the stainless steel pan works almost as well as a teflon pan.

Getting sunny side up eggs perfect is still hard, in my experience. In a hotel, I've seen the cook carefully spread out the egg-white with a spatula so it cooks faster, while leaving the yolk liquid.
My farmer buddy (who was an ag banker also and is now a real estate agent) is constantly getting checks from the govt "for some reason." His mom is getting a random payment because she's a single female (widow) so qualifies for some random program. The government programs are really crazy and no one really seems to care anymore. In the 80s, 90s even 2000s the ag bill was always a big deal.

Now it's maybe just peanuts compared to the rest of the budget. Who knows, but American farmers do quite well these days.

It doesn't get much play outside of LA. We moved to the area to be near my wife's family and I had no clue about it. But it's basically an open secret in the local communities.

When I found out about it and I mentioned it she said "oh yeah everyone knows about that, lots of people got cancer growing up."
Most galling was that they glued Eagle into fusion and killed off Eagle, the largest EDA tool.
It's not that Western science doesn't work, it's just that it has been tasked with selling pans rather than not giving people cancer.

I quit a day after three months and a day, once.

I was fresh out of university and I took a job doing software with a company who only had one developer overseeing me.

He was extremely rude to me, and extremely strict with me, getting angry if I showed up 5 minutes late or took even one extra minute for lunch. At my three month review his feedback was very negative and he clearly wanted to get rid of me but his bosses convinced him (and me) to agree to one more month of probation. I raised some of my issues with how he was treating me, so we drew up some revised expectations for both of us, then both of us signed them.

The very next day he pulled me over to his desk. I had designed a three column layout for a page he'd assigned me to build. I had left-aligned the text in the header columns. He wanted them center aligned. He communicated this to me by highlighting the text, slamming his mouse on the desk and shouting "does this look good to you!?". It would have taken me thirty seconds to fix at most, but he was furious about it.

I walked away from him, into my manager's office, and quit on the spot.

The real cherry on top of this story is they were only paying me $13 an hour.
st is such an outlier in those measurements that it makes you wonder whether something is potentially wrong with the test setup.

That's how a lot of law systems were constructed: many countries are basing their law on roman practices.

That's not inherently bad, IMO.
How can querying for PK's than doing a second query on the FK be faster than a join that's semantically equivalent? Postgres optimizer gone terribly wrong or something? Or am I misunderstanding what's going on?

It would never have occurred to me to even try this, I would have assumed postgres would do as well as could be done at what looks like a very standard join. So I guess that's a lesson not to make assumptions?

Not sure, without even having a theory of why pg would behave this way, I'd be worried that as the data changes it might regress again. Or if the phase of the moon changes or something -- since it seems like magic!
From Rust point of view, if you have to write these signatures, something may be off with your architecture. I.e. this is a thing that needs to be mutated from multiple threads, abstracted by a virtual table, and be nullable. And for some reason, this is an exclusive borrow to such pointer. It’s likely that removing any of these constraints would make a positive impact on the architecture.
I love that this exists.
Stallmans problem is that he is always right. It just takes 20 years for everyone else to notice.

The secondary problem is that everyone's paycheck here depends on him being wrong, so we get character assassination instead.
It's not a diversionary state, it's really just a buffer, ie, not immediately hostile.

It's very very well documented that the Chinese are incredibly displeased with Kim Jong Un. Plenty of retired generals talk and write about it.

NK's population and military breaking away without outside support is far from guaranteed to bring a better outcome for anyone. It's not clear to me a military dictatorship is going to be less brutal or repressive than the Kims and it's not clear either that the population could ever break from the yoke of the military should the Kims lose power.
Objective-C has objective because C itself is not objected oriented. Objective-Smalltalk would be redundant. How about StepTalk or SmallStep? to honor the NextStep heritage, you know.

I agree this is truly criminal and there was no real penalty. Difficult to quantify though. People choose suicide of their own free will, nobody pushed them out of the window, which is the burden of proof if you want a murder or manslaughter verdict. So he walked. Can’t win them all. Bastard
With a fully parallel secret tech tree, you could in theory mine raw material, process them, and manufacture anything without money. You could have a closed system where resource allocation is done differently.
Love the “PC’s Limited” ads blasting Compaq’s 386. You may not have heard of “PC’s Limited”, but you may have heard of Dell, the name they eventually adopted.
CAD is fundamentally different from mesh-based 3D. You’d have to start from scratch. Plus the physics simulations are serious, not video game stuff. There’s also a minefield of patents to contend with. Nor can you forge your own path if you want people’s models to be compatible (and I mean mathematically, not just file formats).
On both sides of the issues, the "well regulated militia" part is completely ignored, and a ban on various weapons ranging from missiles to ballistic knives can be considered an infringement of the right to keep and bear arms.

The entire Bill of Rights is far more vague then people make it out to be. Hell, the Ninth Amendment is basically "people also have other unmentioned rights the government can't deny."
Why is it always dollars in US in this argument?

Why not Austrian corones in Austria?

Or Bolivian peso on Bolivia?

Or old Brazilian real in Brazil?

Or mark in German Weinmar Republik?

Somehow being taxed in those currencies didn't prevent them from becoming worthless.

So who's naive by the virtue of lacking historical and geographical perespective?
Whatever you feel about operator overloading, it's way better than the Objective-C version, even the version floated by the defenders. String interpolation is even better, sure, but the + alternative isn't that bad. As you noted, natural language does the same kind of overloading and we seem to cope with it just fine.
First, the whole purpose of a crack is to remove malicious code. So you're likely coming out ahead.

Second, you shouldn't be running any proprietary binaries unsandboxed with Internet access. My standard use of Windows is to install a fresh VM, install whatever software(s) I want, kill all network access but for my local Samba server, and then do my work. Lack of updates that pull the rug out from under me is a feature, and when there are features I want it's easy enough to repeat the installation process while watching TV or whatever.

There's a lot of grumbling in here from people that I have to assume don't understand what Fusion 360 is. This was always an uncomfortably cloud-based product. You cannot save files locally with this package. This decision isn't (or at least shouldn't be) blindsiding anybody. There are countless packages from Dassault, Autodesk, PTC, Siemens, Ansys, OpenFOAM, etc. that you can buy perpetual licenses for.
UTC vs. UT1 time and other nuances (2020)
The debate is generally over whether the part of the sentence before the comma is supposed to mean anything or whether you’re supposed to ignore it and only read the part after the comma.
It was much slower than that when I worked on submarine receivers in the early / mid 80s. 1 5-bit baudot character every 5 seconds.
Your example is worse than stringWithFormat: for the same reason C++ iostreams are worse than format strings.

It's hard to control once you want anything more interesting than + and it's not localizable. Complaining that a function call's name is too long doesn't matter at all.
