Academia seems to have redefined racism to mean systemic/institutional racism, and the result a whole slew of confusion and counterproductive conversations.

Which is bananas to me since IMO racism and systemic racism were already pretty well defined terms.
The tax and real estate attorneys I've had have always been mostly pleasant. They have a limited responsibility and seem to enjoy doing it (closing on properties, fixing tax issues, etc.).

My only negative experience with the legal side is actually with law professors. I took a couple of law classes as filler in undergrad work, and these guys were the worst. Not only just bad professors, but also very arrogant. After following a few of them on Twitter after the fact, I don't think it was just my very small sample set either. They seem to be terrible, miserable people.
That's a good point and now that you mention it I remember seeing that option. But as you say, it's almost always on, so it barely matters.

To be clear, I'm not saying Discord or any server admin are making a mistake here, scrollback is often very useful. But I've definitely opted not to share some things because I knew they would be searchable ultimately. Having witnessed the transition of some IRC channels to Discord, I dare say others must have felt something similar.

Huh? Discord has really poor UX compared to other IM services I use, like Telegram. Notification settings are so complex that it takes trial, error, and missed important messages to end up with a sensible configuration (no broadcast mentions in any shape or form, no badges unless I'm mentioned by my own username or there's a reply to my message). Every little piece of its UI is custom-built and routinely defies my expectations about how UI controls should behave. Just a few examples of my pain points with Discord:

- They somehow managed to mess up the message text field so much that my system-wide text replacements don't work. They work literally everywhere else.

- When I want to add a reaction to a message, there's an emoji picker. It shows custom emoji FIRST, and it shows custom emoji from ALL "servers" I'm a member of. It takes actual time for something that should be a nearly-instant interaction.

- There are no last seen statuses when a user is offline.

- The files. Need I say more? Not only does that 8 MB limit feel like an insult in this day and age, so does Discord's insistence on always storing the original files as-is. OK for images, but I sometimes have to send screencasts, and you never know what size it even is. I end up having to upload them somewhere else and then send a link. Your files are too powerful, my ass.

And, yes, it's Electron, and at this point I'm convinced that an Electron app just can't possibly be good, no matter how hard you try and how good your engineers are.

Postscript fonts? Fully programmable font glyphs in the 80's. Little used, but very fun. I recall a typewriter font that would vary the glyphs position, weight and edges a bit to simulate coming from a manual typewriter.

For me, it's the opposite, I like Lisp and Scheme because they don't force me into one programming paradigm. I'm not very fond of FP but used OOP almost in every project when I was programming in Racket (for a decade or so). I often wrote more functional code first and then wrapped it into classes to "assemble" it under one roof.

Lisp and Scheme are great languages for object-oriented programming.

Useless App Idea #8237: Record a 10 second video of the DVD bouncing logo and get a future alert when its about to hit a corner. It can also notify your friends so they know what they are missing
As I alluded in a sibling comment, it might help to look at one-dimensional barcodes first, specifically the pervasive Universal Product Code (UPC). Maybe a sensor in a reader can only see a single pixel and a user moves it, or a reader itself has a row of sensors, but the input is always a scanline worth of pixels. The barcode starts with on-off-on-off pattern and ends with off-on-off-on pattern, so we first look at two 1:1:1:1 patterns. Since we know each segment of these patterns is a single unit ("module") in the barcode, we can extrapolate and infer where all other units would be. This can be never accurate---people rarely move their hand that accurately---but those patterns give a good deal of information about the barcode.

Finder patterns in the QR code can be recognized in the same way as long as your scanline actually hits those patterns. Since it's two dimensional you would need multiple scanlines to recognize all of them, but once you've got three finder patterns and they are not coplanar then there is a good chance that the alignment pattern in the fourth position; again, this can be recognized with a 1:1:1:1:1 pattern and you can make a good guess about its size. This gives the orientation [1], and timing patterns between two pairs of finder patterns finally give a transformation you need to apply to convert pixels into a matrix of modules. You read the version and format info (which has its own error correction codes), unapply a mask, read the actual data and ECC, correct any recoverable error and you are done. The very purpose of masking is to prevent those patterns accidentally occurring in the data section, and the standard defines a set of scoring criteria for masks; if 1:1:3:1:1 pattern occurs in the data after masking the mask is scored so low that it won't be chosen.

As you can imagine, while the concept is fairly simple the actual implementation might be complex. I should note that a large enough QR code can have multiple alignment patterns, because as your QR code gets larger it has a larger chance to be warped, and they help detecting where the warp has occurred. Also most barcodes including QR code have a concept of quiet zone that clearly separates a barcode from surrounding environment, mostly because otherwise you might be unable to recognize the beginning and end of the barcode (or in 2D barcodes, its bounding rectangle).

[1] Exercise: Now thinking about that, how can a UPC reader see whether the barcode is upside down or not?
Interesting. You mean make all the queries as detailed and specific as possible, processing things as much as possible in SQL so you don't have to mess around with the data you get from/put in the DB in an imperative langauge?

Do you have any good examples of this? Code bases that can be read?
I think most of them are merely artistic, probably all data outside of the alignment patterns is just random stuff. It looks good though. [0]

Some of them however are implemented to be read by a specific non-standard reader, something such as the snap chat codes.

This also happened to me. 25 years ago I was fired without severance (shady consultancy), but I kept getting paid for three months. I used that money because I didn't have savings, and needed to support my family while I got a new job.

At the fourth month they called me and threatened me to get their money back, but in my country all deposits are final, so they didn't have a legal recourse. I offered to return it in six installments, and they threw a tantrum and ghosted me.

I still think you did the right thing. I wouldn't have touched that money if I had an option, because even if it was legal, and the lifesaver I needed to hop jobs, it was immoral. I'm sure someone was scolded because of that, I hope they didn't make them pay that sum in my place.
So it's really just IRC mode?
I don't think you needed to include "The spam on".

Weekly SQLite news, articles and extensions
The article mentions X-expressions for XML and HTML. If you decide to play with that, you might also want to look at another representation, SXML, which has more advanced library support in the Racket ecosystem.

https://docs.racket-lang.org/sxml-intro/index.html

(Basically, early in Scheme, there were a bunch of independently-invented representations for XML. It turned out that Oleg Kiselyov's XML parsing work, SSAX, was better than anyone else's. So I converted my libraries to be compatible with his SXML representation, and others also built tools using SXML. But core Racket (then called PLT Scheme) seemed stuck with X-expressions. Today, one of the core Racket professors maintains the Racket packaging for Oleg's SXML libraries, but it's contrib rather than core. People starting with the core docs might only hear of X-expressions, until they start searching the contributed package directory, and find those packages generally use SXML.)

I can only speak towards Twilio because that is where my experience is. It is a very international company. In recent years it has made several acquisitions of companies that were not previously based in the US. Maybe it is a broad trend across the industry for tech workers that used to work for smaller local companies coming under the umbrella of large US-based corporations?

Show HN: A Natural Language Interface to Crunchbase
Hi Guys,

let me know if anyone wants to build a natural language interface over their SQL database. We can help.

We have launched and have a free tier option on AWS. Now we are looking for more users to iterate with.

Any other feedback welcome too.
No, I am not, but someone explicitly asked you for an alternative. But it's nice to have an alternative ready, otherwise you just sound bitter. Plus, you are not adding to the discussion, the reader is stuck with the same original question - where do you find contract work?
I don't understand your question. Is it ironic? All the bands you mention are fairly old. Most stem from the late 80s to mid 90s.

You might like Pandora then. They have a famously awesome song fingerprinting tech. Sadly their tech is proprietary and they're walled off in the states.

I just discovered King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard because some soul is using Ai to turn a line of lyrics into images in a slide show for some songs. And KG&LW happened to be one they picked.

If you're really rabid for new music I'd say manually diving through soundcloud might be a good idea. Additionally various genre forums and last.fm (probably buried the lede there Last.Fm is awesome)
No its not that simple. Many cultures ie all South European ones have very different attitude to food. Savouring and ritual around it, discussion and not fast chop chop and back to treadmill.

From your link: 25% overhead doesn’t really seem that bad? If those numbers are accurate, 75c of every dollar goes directly to hosting, development, and community support (things like grants and legal aid for editors). That’s probably on par if not better than most nonprofits.

Safe assumption I: The child marriage laws in most state are old. "Reasonable" attitudes about the rights of girls & women were rather more, ah, paleolithic when they were written.

Safe assumption II: The child marriage laws in most states get very little attention...except from real creeps, wanna-be creeps, and creep sympathizers.

Safe assumption III: There are far more wanna-be creeps and creep sympathizers in positions of power than most "decent" people would care to believe.
This makes me curious. I have 3 AWS certs, that I was required to get because I work for Amazon. I put them on my LinkedIn (I'm proud of them, they were hard to get) but haven't considered putting them on my resume. Are they really that bad that I should consider removing them from LinkedIn too?
Laws change. Do you want your data out there knowing that?
It's not federated though...?
That seems reasonable enough technically, but I doubt it would work out that way in practice. Most users would probably treat all Discord channels alike. Those who don't understand the setup would carry on as they always had, many of those who do would find it easier to treat all alike (if for no other reason than that the setting could always change).
The vast majority of people do not get equity as part of their compensation. So, yes, there are cases when this information is inaccurate or incomplete, but for most people, this type of data can artificially cap your earning ability.
Never. The Lisp community seems fine with the status quo, and I haven't heard of any real undertaking to revive the standardization working group.

The usual explanation is that the language allows so much to do with libraries that a new standard isn't really needed, as it would be in "lesser" languages.
It's a citation that they have them, which is all I claimed definitively. If I could cite the part of the statement after "probably", there wouldn't be a "probably" there.

I would not call it rumors. If you'd like a more authoritative citation, here is a DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency, i.e. US military) report cited in the article I cited above: https://www.dia.mil/Portals/110/Documents/News/Military_Powe...
This is just an extension of the ISO Open Font Format (Opentype). I think it's great because it's so far the only standard way to specify color needed to render emojis.
I'd really like to seem them get an endowment for keeping the servers up and running, then let them fund raise to cover the UI improvements, community grants, and whatever else. I think those are important and useful but it should really be a different pot of money.
What I find most ironic is that those people who are now realizing the same privacy platforms they used to defend with "I have nothing to hide" are the ones complying against their interests.

It's a poignant example of what others have pointed out. "I have nothing to hide" until political landscape changes to make it something to hide.

It's like people pushing for liberal drug laws and legalizing homeless tents and then one day its in their backyard.

While I feel for women part of groups that are impacted by Roe vs Wade being overturned, their apathy against privacy concerns have boomeranged, the same of which proportion of men who aren't having to deal with abortion are looking at this issue as "I don't need an abortion so it doesn't concern me".

Those women caught up in this struggle also looked on, along with men and everybody else as Uyghur women were sterilized and forced to abort using the very surveillance mechanism that were developed and custom tailored to fit the needs of the abusers.

It's almost like the land of CCP is a testing ground for what's in store for Western civilization. Remember what caused Latin America's shift towards tyranny and dictatorship, it was inflation. Nothing about our land that makes it any less susceptible or resilient. Inflation has deep remifications to privacy and this Roe vs Wade situation is only the beginning.
I don’t have any. But I can’t recall ever seeing or hearing of a white businessman in a suit getting ordered to the ground without cause.

It is fully possible this was random chance. It’s an anecdote, not statistics. But if you want to look at statistics, there are plenty of studies. From the first hit on Google for police stops: a black person in North Carolina is 95% more likely to get pulled over than a white person, over twice as likely to be searched, but less likely to be in possession of contraband or get a ticket.[1]

Have you watched the movie? People surrender themselves to their basic primal desires and that's it. Instead of having relationships, people go for instant gratification trapped to their screens and entertainment.

I'm just comparing the scenario here to what was shown in the movie. Sure, we have all these apps these days that allow you to do whatever, but at the cost of everyone having mental issues and anxiety.

I don't personally care, I've had my own share of problems that I deal with. My goal is to be in the 20% who won't engage in such behavior, and will be totally fine regardless of what other people do. But that's still 80% who will be wasting their money, potential, resources in these short term flukes and need a bail out from society.
