>Edit: as if to prove my point about racism, in this very thread there is already a comment talking about Indian nepotism.

I was wondering if you could clarify this. Why is the caste system fair game to criticize but nepotism isn't?
AWS/GCP are pretty much as good as anyone reliablity-wise, as long as your product is multi-AZ etc.

But SLAs are a joke - your business should be making $100 for every $1 you spend on compute, the fact they'll refund your $1 is trivial compared to your $100 loss.
> Art of screenshake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJdEqssNZ-U

I'm actually opposed to that. Adding screenshake etc. for boring games is essentially putting lipstick on a pig, i.e. adding a (short-lived) illusion that the game is fun while it actually isn't. The best game designs don't require any screenshake to captivate players for a long time.

I mean, I'm not opposed to adding visual gimmicks during the polish phase. It should be used as a way to rescue a bad game though.
My understanding is that in most of the civilized world (not in the US), the norm for media is not to report defaming information before its veracity has been established.

It’s a good thing when media shows some restraint not to make unsubstantiated claims that are impossible to fully retract in the public consciousness.

Note: This doesn’t mean media shouldn’t report on anything short of a conviction, but it probably shouldn’t report in a defaming way on something that may not even be reportable news at all (i.e. an ordinary fatal car crash)
That's unfortunate.

I have upvoted your post in hope for someone from Google who can and is willing to help contacts you.
A lot of what happens in both business and politics makes more sense if we consider that some people have an innate ability to evade even smart people's BS detectors when they're together in person. Doesn't matter if it's animal magnetism, pheromones, subliminal body language, or scam superintelligence. Is it so hard to believe that we all have heuristics we use to decide whether to trust someone?

Where there are heuristics, there are ways to game those heuristics. Practically none of us are as immune to non-rational persuasion as we think/claim we are. Whatever it is, I've known people whose ability to get what they want was extremely hard to explain any other way. I literally avoid being in their presence, and that has been good for me.

I feel like I'm better than most at detecting BS, at least 90th percentile, but I'd be a fool to think I'm the best in the world. When I can sense that I'm outmatched, the rational thing to do is change the game. Con men have known since forever that egotists are the best marks.
To associate individual page views to a single real IP address. That is fingerprinting.
Help me understand one thing. More and more services are moving towards 2FA/MFA. The 2nd factor is in a phone app. What happens if I lose my phone? Without my old phone I cannot log into the services. How do I get access to my accounts again? How do I move the 2FA setup to new phone again? Do I have to do this one by one for all 50 2FAed services I use?

I am forever worried that if I sign myself for 2FA in 50 different services and then I lose my phone I may permanently lose access to my accounts.
Good! Corruption is a cancer in all societies.
On the other hand, why should we use the latest and greatest technology if it's not the best tool for the job?

I don't think the commenter or the author of the piece is arguing for anybody to completely throw out technology. The author even advocates strongly for weather forecasting apps and services. What they are advocating for is using the correct tool for the job, even if it's "older."

I wouldn't go back to horses as a general rule. If I were in the backwoods with limited access to gas and roads, however, a horse may very well be a better solution to my travel issues.
I guess an aggregator of these sites would be pretty handy. Especially if it had a narrative feature to ask what the user wanted to do, then pointed you to the niche job site.
You pay council tax on your address, not on an individual basis. So if you moved house and didn't tell them, they quite reasonably would have counted the payments towards your old address, not your new one.

My team has ad-hoc meetings all the time while working remote. We've been throwing ideas around, having design discussions, the whole shebang. Yes, the first six months were difficult - it took us a while to figure out a new way to work. But now it's been 2.5 years since we've been in the office and we've been hiring people who live several hundred miles away or more from what used to be our office. C'mon - if we can make it work then you can make it work.

AsyncSequence is good to go with iOS 13+ now, you can start using it right away.
It also means it wont receive any new features though and if the MATE developers want those features they'd have to waste time upgrading their -non-trivial- codebase from Gtk3 to Gtk4, just like they had to waste time (which took years, IIRC) to to upgrade the GNOME 2 (early MATE) codebase from Gtk2 to Gtk3.

Time that could have been spent improving MATE instead.

If they are getting something out it then it is not a waste of time. Those applications are free to stay on GTK1 or GTK2 or whatever they want. Those APIs were never broken. But I bet even you would admit that is a horrible idea because those toolkits are woefully outdated.

I don't recognize any irony. It's just a observation that T-Mobile doesn't believe in German law. It's at least useful information for Germans, in case they're ever tempted to get rid of the laws and let T-Mobile "self-regulate."
My understanding is that fractional scaling actually works a fair bit better under QT at the moment, although maybe things have changed on the bleeding edge. KDE on wayland works great for me.

Wayland doesn't make it any easier to get fractional scaling, obviously. It's up to the toolkits to support fractional scaling, and while you can magnify a window by like 1.2x under wayland it's going to get blurry, you're essentially just up-scaling an image.
> Where is their concern for other violence that is more prevalent?

Isn't this just straightforward whataboutism? If every person that is advocating against a problem in society has to advocate against every problem in society they will never get anything accomplished because there is always another injustice.

Regarding the second point: Back when they still owned T-Mobile NL, they tried to change over the routing for residential (fixed line) users to their own DE-CIX exchange in Germany. The outrage over their bad peering there was so big that it made the national evening news. Within 2 days they reverted to their previous peerings.
Maybe I didn't explain myself very well, if so I am very sorry. English is obviously not my first language.

The gut biome, your metabolism, sleep, exercise , and stress all play role.

Yep. You can't control your gut biome and your metabolism as far as I know so while interesting, those are irrelevant for most people. Everybody will tell you that no stress, sleep and exercise are great. Combine all of these if you want to live a good, healthy life - great, but you probably didn't need an article for that. But wait, there are lots of people who do all those things (Whole food, no/little stress, sleep, exercise) and still don't lose weight.

There are tons of reasons for that. Maybe they still eat way more than they should - people are horrible at estimating how many calories a meal has. Maybe they are sick, either in mind or body. Maybe they don't train as well as they think (A lot of people think that jogging for half an hour equals a whole meal, instead of one slice of bread). Maybe there is another reason out of the myriad of reasons that exist.

But this article makes it seem like the most important thing is Put the focus on food quality and healthy lifestyle practices to attain a healthy weight. By the way, here are other 'experts from reputable sources' (The same journal) who pretty much say the same thing I do:

https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/calorie-count... (Explains how to count)

https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/counting-on-c... (Describes how many you probably need)

https://www.health.harvard.edu/healthbeat/dont-count-calorie... (This one says exactly what I say - they aren't the only thing that counts, but you still better are aware of them.)

https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/counting-calorie... (This one for whatever reason claims it keeps your heart young. I don't care enough to research that one)

https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/simple-math-e... (And this one is so badly written and claims the exact opposite as far as I can tell, that I very much doubt this is a 'reputable source').

Don't always believe what a single, hastily written and completely non-sourced (Not a single source/quotation in that article!!! How is that reputable??) in a weird online magazine claims. Even if the print Harvard on the top.
At a large semiconductor company, the same could be said for many groups: Chinese hiring other Chinese, one group hiring native Americans mostly, others with Hispanic origin…
«If you believe that the number of people wanting a file manager and office suite is decreasing, what do you think the desktop environment actually will consist of?»

Look at ChromeOS and tablets. But, if you want to skip to a decentralized, user innovation and privacy-first future, look at KDE Nepomuk (which was an ambitious decentralized semantic desktop that collapsed), MS Graph (which is a centralized semantic system that probably won't), Plan 9, Nix, Qubes.

«Isn't that precisely what the system is??»

It's not really networked, in fact it's going backwards. X lets you run distrbibuted application on a fine level, as do other decentralized ideas like WS and HATEOAS, but we're reverting to a thin client model where the user is dependant on the browser and ???. But getting to the fine level requires more isolation, data & identify consciousness.

«What does this even mean? What is a "web based conversation" in terms of the user interface??»

Think of an inherently local, yet potentially complex control; a volume control. I can simply use it to control volume, but I might also want to mix volume with networked devices, which spirals into complexity, especially as we get into spatial audio. It's all possible on a Linux desktop, but doing it takes you into open ended complexity, compounded by the fact there are so many versions and combinations of software. A post-90s desktop could add a new control to the context menu which opened a live discussion about that version of that control and combination of desktop options.
This is an impressive agglomeration of anti-labour memes.

Ouch.
You definitely want to add test cases for arrays with mixed-type values and for non-arrays.

Yeah, the latter should be caught by an isArray() check... which is the whole point.
A bit ago, there was another study stating the exact opposite of this: that weekend-only workouts showed better results than daily workouts.

I think the real TLDR here is "the workout you do is better than the workout you don't."

Just do something consistently, and there's a good chance you'll get some sort of results. There are some universal principles - but not many - and there are many paths to realizing them.

CICO is a great model for 3rd parties in your diet. If you have someone watching your dietary intake, they can count calories for you and you will succeed at losing weight nearly 100% of the time if they can monitor everything you eat. Most individuals cannot count calories even reasonably close to what they are consuming due to a number of factors.

The model is also an abject failure when it comes to the individual psychology of overeating. This is where people like the above doctor says it's "just wrong". CICO as the only method of weight loss is about as effective as quitting smoking cold turkey (3 to 5% success rate). In general getting people to stop eating high caloric density / high glycemic index foods and replacing them with something else is a good starting point. You're effectively lowering the CI but not requiring a cutoff point for the individual.
OnDeck is a pretty good community for this https://www.beondeck.com/

I also think working at early-ish startups, Series A-C, will help you find people more interested in the founder path than FAANG type companies. From there you can work on something growing fast, learn a domain, test your relationship under pressure, and then leave to start something together.

Fedora and Red Hat have offered .NET packages for years. We've worked very closely with those folks and they've taught us a lot about how to work collaboratively with distro maintainers.

Also notice that our default build instructions are for Fedora: https://github.com/dotnet/installer#building.

If I lived in India I'd be OBC. No Indian coworker (some of whom have had Brahmin last names) has ever asked my caste (white people have on occasion, but only out of harmless curiosity), or showed any signs of discriminating against me over it. I have encountered occasional racism in my career on the other hand. Nobody I know in real life has any experiences of casteism in top tech companies to report, but some do report experiences of racism.
You can keep renting money (with a mortgage) as long as the bank allows it (i.e., as long as you keep paying). When your life changes (flow) you can move to another property and keep the credits (USD) you accumulated.

The difference is that (a) in my version a realtor gets a 6% commission at each step, (b) the credits are 1:1 exchangeable for USD, and (c) the credits last as long as the US government does, as opposed to for the life of a company.

Probably mine is less-Ponzi, but it isn't great either.
Exactly, it's like the government decided to mark all low-/entry-level entrepreneurship as potentially fraudulent - or urge towards that 25K deposit.

In practice it becomes an invisible glass ceiling, you just work/pay your way through it when it's time, otherwise keep playing in the shallow end for as long as you want.

Win-win, surely, but patronizing nevertheless.
Awesome. A decompilation of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil would be incredible.
Your idea of trust here seems at odds with, well, everyone else’s?

Digital photos are already used extensively without any digital signing at all in court - for very high profile cases, including murder, high stakes civil suits (Depp vs Heard), insurrection against the US, you name it.

How is this going to make it worse exactly?

The systems involved already have to deal with uncertainty, doubt, potential fraud, etc.

If there is a potential signal to help out with that, which this is, it just makes it easier to discover fraud, not bulletproof or impossible, regardless of the tech.
Well yeah, its to see who has to dip into their money that is supposed to be locked in. If I was in the business of usury I wouldn't want to lend to people who couldn't keep the collateral locked up for 6 months.

The Caste system is as old as India itself, from ancient India: the varna, and the joti. The Indian Government itself recognizes how deep it goes, and based their Affirmative Action program upon it. To say it's not ingrained is simply choosing to ignore the problem is there. It's not saying "all Indians are casteist" but recognizing, much like the American South pre-Jim Crow, it was ingrained in society.

One of the best perks of working at Tumblr was once a month they had a data center tour for employees, you got to go to NJ for a day to see the facility, all of the power equipment, cooling, network equipment, and the servers themselves. Really awesome and eye opening. Pictures don’t really convey the size of these places.

> Lack of tearing where? Depending on where you mean it, this can be a feature instead of a problem

Depends on the user; I dislike tearing everywhere, including games (distracting when focus is important and hard to notice details when moving). I have never been able to get rid of tearing on Xorg without unacceptable side effects (very uneven framerate, with microfreezes of a few frames when playing with options). This prevented me from using Linux-based desktops as main OS for a long time. (although I could have bought another GPU)

On the latest Fedora with Wayland and up-to-date nvidia drivers, the experience is completely tear-free and I am back to Linux as default boot OS. (still missing VR).
Couldn't agree more. I recently started at a full remote company, after working at very in-person-centric companies before. I'm astonished at home much genuine discussion takes place on slack and over email. It's so nice to have a physical, searchable record of where various engineers stand on these issues! And it's nice to be able to take my time and read through an argument, instead of making the argument orally and forgetting half of the points by the time we decide on a direction.

If your company stubbornly insists on synchronous video calls for every decision, of course you'll hate remote work. But if your company embraces the async nature of remote work, I think it's possible to be much more productive.
Automatically decompiled code is often gibberish that may do the same thing, but is not organized in any sensible way. It's often harder to understand than the assembly and may contain plenty of goto statements if the decompiler couldn't come up with sensible if-statements or figure out something used to be a function.

This happens because of optimizations (inlining, re-ordering, ...) performed by compilers, as well as information being lost (like variable names and which registers/addresses even are variables as opposed to intermediate values).

For example:

// Original
pre_tax_cost = shipping_cost + checkout_total;
total_cost = (shipping_cost + checkout_total) * (1 + VAT);
show();

// Decompiled, found somewhere in a nondescript 200 line function it was inlined into:
k = 1 + m;
x = a + b;
c = k * x;
goto b_5634;

It takes a lot of manual work to produce something akin to what the original source code may have looked like.
Check out the Authy app. It lets you have an encrypted backup with which you can restore the MFA codes on another device. Another option is using a password manager with MFA capabilities, like 1Password.
> Casteism, while bad, is not racism

Open to this argument. But every definition of race I’ve seen constructed to exclude caste seems contrived. The system has imprinted itself as far down as hair shaft diameter [1].

> Saying casteism is ingrained in Indians on the other hand is racism

Sympathetic to this. It’s like saying all white people are racist. It’s ingrained in the Indian culture, and I think anyone coming from India should be sensitive to the issue, but e.g. their kids born and raised here are obviously less susceptible. (This is true of all immigrants and their biases, though.)

The parent comment was asking for "bug-fixes and nothing else" so I have no idea why you are talking about new features. If they wanted new features then it was not a waste of time. There are plenty of new features in GTK3 and GTK4, those are the main reason to port.
Two-factor reset is usually a slow manual process where the service provider checks that you are who you really claim to be. It is not automated so that it cannot be abused.

If you have 50 two-factor authentication tokens you can use apps like Authy that allows you to do a local or remote back up of the tokens. TOTP is an RFC standard and you will find lots of apps for advanced users.
