The comment to which you're apparently responding was only saying that it takes a lot of work to make a living off of your looks; they were silent on whether you need to have good genetics, the correct skin color, or anything else.
EM’s position is incredibly thin. There was also a Twitter filing today that showed EM texts that clearly point to geopolitical concerns slowing the deal, not the number of bots on the platform or alleged security failings by a terminated employee. And it’s clear from those texts that he doesn’t even know that he waved due diligence. Not to mention he or his lawyers appear to be intentionally sabotaging the discovery process, which the judge has already warned them about. Personally I think the whistleblower stuff is a red herring and has exactly zero relevance for the case.

Yes - blood must be kept at very specific temperatures and conditions if you want to preserve its usefulness in DNA sequencing - most of these are dried blood cards without strong controls which makes them not particularly useful for good DNA data.

I confess, I rather prefer that approach. Really don't like anti-heros and villains as protagonists.
With h_chr + SocialFixer + uBlock Origin (but, note, FB have been messing with their HTML in ways that currently break SocialFixer's sponsored-post detection filters, so this is a bit worse than usual) the top 50 items in my feed are:

34 posts from friends, 9 of which are vapid feel-good glurge (I have a couple of friends who post, or rather share, a lot of this)

1 birthday message from one friend to another

5 posts in groups I belong to

10 sponsored posts, of which 8 are completely 100% uninteresting to me and two are only 90% uninteresting (e.g., one of them is an ad for a play I might conceivably be interested in seeing, if I lived anywhere near the place it's running).

The SNR is definitely worse than "90%+ friends" but also much better than "98% suggested pages and barely any friends".

(I am using "friends" in the Facebook sense, but I am fairly discriminating about this and all my Facebook "friends" are people I have actually met in the physical world and would enjoy spending some time with.)
I'm no expert in Ukrainian demographics so I won't weigh in too much on that.

I will however say this much: what makes the situation of any Russian neighbour difficult is the Russian history of forced relocations and genocide, Russian imperialism and irredentism, and their lack of any resemblance of fair elections and referendums. Russian modus operandi is forced russification. So if you move enough ethnic Russians to Crimea so that they have majority over native Tatars, you can simply annex it at will? I definitely understand if there are opinions to both directions on that topic.

There is a huge difference between saying we made a lot of mistakes in the response to covid and saying “virtually nothing” was based on data.

I don’t support people being shut down as you talk about, however you should also appreciate that a ton of people speaking out against the “narrative” were just grifters spreading misinformation for whatever random reason. A lot of the blame for legitimate dissent being ignored is due to the fact that most dissenting views were actively in bad faith.
I haven't done much experimentation, but I've heard the same. Currently, for new projects I try to design with as many crates as possible in order to a) keep them small b) make as many 'spokes' (aka not dependent on other crates) as possible. This helps a ton and something I wish I'd have known before starting some of my large projects. I also wish I had used more trait objects and less generics - the overhead rarely matters in practice.
I'm saying it's not just webservice monoculture. It predates the web. Which is a better name, MS-DOS or Linux? BCPL or Perl? Source Code Control System (SCCS) or Git?

If a name is going to last a long time, and face a lot of different people, and have lots of relationships and sub-names of its own (e.g. "github"), then it's far better that it be short, unique, and memorable than that it be descriptive. There's nothing web-development-specific about that. Big projects get Name-names, like companies or people. Always have.

One thing to keep in mind here is that there is a serious problem with the birthday paradox that impacts these DNA fishing expeditions and makes them both dangerous and very nearly useless.

Throwing any old DNA that comes into your hands into a huge database, with no prior expectation that the person whose DNA your searching is involved in a specific crime you're looking to compare them to but just to see if anything in there matches anything else in there, will turn up false positives with incredible regularity

https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2008/09/dna_matching_..., https://www.maa.org/external_archive/devlin/devlin_02_11.htm..., etc. DNA fishing expeditions are a terrible, terrible idea.
So it’s a “privileged take” that it’s mostly poorer families who wouldn’t be able to afford child care and would depend on childcare from their now dead older relatives?

Yes it’s more concerning that poor little Timmy couldn’t have his first kiss than granny actually ending up dead.

If you haven’t prepared your children to handle a little inconvenience like not going to a prom, he’s certainly not going to be prepared for real life.
From my comprehension of Mad Men? You hire a PR firm to convince those investors and decision people, to sell them an idea instead of KPIs.

It can go both ways, of course: Mad Men is full of examples of stupid business ideas that went spectacularly wrong. And while it wasn’t the focus of Mad Men, the real world is full of examples of business that went the metrics way and were successful.

But IMHO, if I was the CEO of a social media company, I sure wouldn’t focus on A/B testing and engagement metrics.

It’s very annoying that this article mixes “red and processed meats” like they are the same thing. The author themselves mention that there’s much better evidence against processed meat, but keeps talking about how dangerous “red and processed meats” are. The author clearly can’t be trusted.

Besides, that study has the same issue GP mentions: they just asked people how much meat they ate.
Tuple is what I've had the most amount of trouble with. I even contacted Tuple, thinking it was an issue on their end, but they looked at the logs and said it was most likely a VPN connectivity problem, and suggested I try it without Warp enabled, which so far has been seamless. The issues with Google Meet are pretty intermittent and uncommon—it just tends to cut out at rather inconvenient moments. :) The difficult thing about these types of tools is that the bar for what works "well" is really high; even very infrequent connectivity issues are enough to sour one's opinion of the tool.
TrackIR doesn’t really compare. I went from TrackIR to VR for multiplayer IL2 and the difference is stratospheric in terms of actually feeling “in” the aircraft. It also significantly improved my gunnery.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey look amazing, because the whole art style of the game and everything in it is optimized for that specific console to not overtax its resources. You just don't get photorealism, but that's okay because the art style accommodates for that. There are a few other games I've played that have great ports or don't have high graphics requirements in the first place. Subnautica looked great, and Return of the Obra Dinn and Hades look great too, though those last two games don't have super high graphics requirements in the first place.

I love The Wizard! I recently re-watched it and it still holds up for me, but a large part of that could be nostalgia. The ending still gets me though.

I stopped by the Dinosaurs of Cabazon earlier this year while driving from Palm Springs to LA (part of a larger road trip I took this year). It's so different now, they've painted them really bright colors. I was there 15 years ago and back then they still resembled the ones from The Wizard and Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Was still cool though.
I used Shadow - worked really well, sadly no timer kicking you off tho.

Leaks in August reported that Genshin Impact on Switch was delayed because of CPU limitations due to size and regularly updated content.

It's not just the ad revenue or suggested content. FB's most sticky offerings are groups and pages. Well, FB actively hides posts in these to their own followers. You end up having to pay just sponsor messages to your own group.
I think what you're saying is "most people blindly follow trends", which might be true. But it seems totally orthogonal to whether somebody is comparing themselves to others because they are trend followers or not. Your argument basically is "but it's quite likely a random person is a trend follower anyway", but that's not a good reason to tell people to avoid compare themselves to others. Rather it's a good reason to tell people not to follow fads...
Great work on such a small footprint, but there's nothing Metroidvania about it. It's just a regular "jump 'n' run" platformer.

That seems to be getting the same Zuckerberg death-spiral: Facebook has lots of users so it’s tempting but everyone I know who’s tried it was deluged with blatant scam attempts & Google MFA phishing attacks. Skimping on abuse just seems to be the corporate default.
I don't think there is an issue with it when done in moderation, but with social media it has become more wanting an end result without understanding the process or the risks involved with getting there. If studying others and using that knowledge to move up in the world is working for you and gives you fulfillment, I think that is a great thing.
They just have a non-locking carabiner clip on the bin on a metal cable. It's actually really easy to use. So whatever was true back in the 1980s or the early '00s is no longer a problem.
Then again, Tc means different things in different fields. E.g. critical temperatures for all kinds of critical phase transitions. Note that the google search you posted above gives results for various phase transitions many of which are not superconducting phase transitions. I also was lost when I saw the original query.
Do you happen to know what the status of the Steam Deck ecosystem is? I would be in the market to get a more powerful version of the Switch, which the Steam Deck would be, but it seems to be discontinued.
I object to your tone, and I don't understand why you're taking it with me, or wrongly assuming that I didn't see 'The Deer Hunter'; I did see it. I had heard rave reviews about 'The Deer Hunter' but as things happen, I only got around to seeing it ~15yrs after it was released. It was decent, De Niro and Cazale are standouts, but not as great as the accolades it had been showered with. I like most De Niro (Scorsese, Cimino, or other director), but for a slow-boiler character study of a man's descent into insanity, 'Taxi Driver' (or the little-known but superb Danish film trilogy 'Pusher' (1996-2004-2005)) are IMO far superior. Or maybe even Takeshi Kitano. As far as TDH goes, I think the last chapter suffers a break in coherence, and it doesn't advance the narrative to see De Niro unravel in slow-motion at the end. As far as anti-Vietnam war films go, Bogdanovich's 'Saint Jack' made the point more deftly; we don't necessarily need to see people literally blowing their brains out to get the point that they've been systematically dehumanized. Perhaps it's the Oscar hype machine rather than Cimino's directing that's responsible for the perpetual hype around 'The Deer Hunter', and the lack of hype around Nicolas Winding Refn. In any fair universe, foreign directors like Refn would have won an Oscar for his early work, regardless that it was in Danish; which is a Hollywood attitude that persisted until 'Parasite' (2019).

Be assured I've "watched old films" aplenty. (I referenced 'Alphaville' above, earlier; and the David Lynch 'Dune'. I was even gong to reference Tarkovsky). My comment wondering if Godard was ever considered to direct 'Dune' is obviously praise for his work.

Have you seen Pusher Trilogy? or Bogdanovich's 'Saint Jack'? How do you think they compare?

(Also, 'The Deer Hunter' running time is 3h3m, so the "you can't spend an hour just watching someone else's creation" misassumption is offbase for multiple reasons. Ask questions, rather than make wrong assumptions.)
I'd argue that Godot already has a better experience for 2d dev than Unity and Unreal
> Talk to your users. Find a way to identify them and get feedback from them. Keep your manager in the loop sure. But don't wait for requirements to come down from on high.

As a senior engineer that is what my manager expects me to do. In fact I'm often expected to define the requirements before working on them. Often when I get the requirements refined enough I hand them off to other engineers.

Of course there is personality involved here. I pass things off before I don't enjoy the boring grunt work of putting the final polish on, but I work with people who prefer to put the polish on an already solved problem. This is a win-win as both of us avoid things we don't like. (note, putting polish on is at least 90% of the work, so I can't completely get out of that, and junior engineers never can). There are other problems that other senior engineers work on that I never touch - they are the experts not me
It's a fine message and generous severance, but people need to wake up to the reality that companies don't really care about them when making plans for the future. Was it really so hard to predict a minor ~15% downturn after a period of lavish, extraordinary exuberance? Conservative, controlled, measured headcount growth is just not a consideration, as we've seen time and time again.
I still don't understand the attack-vector how buying targeted advertisements can be used to unmask particular individuals (the example in mudge's testimony: democracy-desiring Chinese citizens posting on twitter illegally).

can someone explain this to me?

if the users are accessing twitter + any ad clicks through a GFW-bypassing VPN, and china can target an advertisement to a single user, then they can figure out that that user uses a VPN if they click on the advertisement? how do they unmask the VPN IP address? my understanding is that VPN providers (should! i hope!) internally transit the traffic so that the exit node isn't the same as the IP address the GFW would see users connect to, so i'm not sure how they could correlate that traffic to a "real" IP/identity.
> The first—and most important—thing is to stop comparing yourself with others.

I'm "yes and no" on this. The reason is that I often look at the work/process/product of others, as inspiration. There's a lot of folks that are better than I am, and it is a good idea for me to keep an eye on what they do, and how they do it.

What I don't do, is compete with others. I am not competitive, and I'm fine with that.

Unfortunately, that seems to be a bit of an aberration. I am constantly having others take a competitive stance with me, and it can add a lot of friction; when they refuse to share information, make a point of being "snooty" with me, or assume that, when I talk about my work, I'm trying to cast their work in a negative light.

That's not usually the case. I have very high standards, and I hold myself to them. If I will be incorporating the work of others, in mine, then I'll hold them to high standards.

Otherwise, I've actually found a lot of gems in things like sloppy StackOverflow examples. Their lashup code may solve my problem, and I can take their solution, and refactor it into one that meets my own bar. I don't waste any time, thinking negatively about the other person. In fact, I'm usually fairly effusive, in my thanks. The person is often coming from an academic point of view, and are not concerned about the practicalities of shipping software.

There's so damn much negativity, these days; often driven directly by competitiveness, that I feel I need to reduce my contribution to it.
Thanks for the feedback! Agree that this can be made more clear and we will work on that.
I recall a 4chan post where the author pointed out how before the internet, if you were a person that wanted to have sex with toasters you'd never bring it up and live a better life for it, whereas now you go to Google and find a community with 1000+ members of people who have sex with toasters and inevitably ruin your life.
it doesnt work exactly like that.

when you buy a car, you can either pay full price for a feature, lets say heated seats for $4000, or you can purchase subscription for $80/mo, or you may opt out of that feature, save money and it will be disabled programmatically in your car. Just as if car was never supplied with heating element for seats.

yet your car will still be shipped with heated seats - just because it is cheaper to do that for manufacturing purposes. Cheaper to equip all cars with the standard heated seats, than manufacture two model of seats: with and without heating.

plus you can always subscribe for that feature any day post purchase, so there is no downside for manufacturer. you get what you pay for.

you can always pay upfront for the feature and will never have to pay subscription
Are we talking Switch original releases only or including ports? Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, and Splatoon 2/3 look excellent, and Okami HD is a great port/remaster that arguably looks better than the original. I haven't bought Monster Hunter Rise yet but it looked stunning in the demo. And of course there's beautiful 2D games like Dead Cells, Hollow Knight, etc. I've found that a lot of Switch games look really good, even launch games from 5 years ago, with really the only flaw in most games being a lot of aliasing.
I think Ukrainians have the right to do it, and it's not my call to make, it's up to them. I am torn on it, emotionally I understand it, but I think rationally it's possibly a wrong choice (as I explained elsewhere in the discussion).

Chomsky made a nice comparison with Palestine. Do Palestinians have the right to defend themselves against Israeli apartheid by shooting rockets at them from Gaza strip?

Regarding my POV - I don't want NATO to get involved as long as it doesn't have to, because I worry about nuclear escalation. That should tell us, try to get serious about complete ban on nuclear weapons in the future, because they prevent exactly the type of action that you propose.

If my country wasn't a NATO member, then military aid against Russian invasion to Ukraine would be more acceptable to me. It is NATO that is making us helpless - we are bound by risk of escalation into a nuclear war. Simply, NATO was designed to handle a different type of threat. (Not to mention, we IMHO have somewhat less efficient military because we partly outsourced it to USA.)

I don't think what I suggest as an alternative (sanctions, resistance) rewards aggression. Occupying Ukraine is a big liability for Russia.
Product family is Core iX, Xeon, Atom, Pentium X etc. Intel® Core™ i9-9900K Processor is a product name.

Lucky you generally only care about release names within a single product because thinking which one is Jasper Lake and which one is Alder Lake is not something I want to do.

Even those product names are not excellent either: Intel introduced i9 which is essentially what i7 used to be and used to justify higher price - look i7 is the same price, but it's the brand new i9, that is totally wouldn't be called i7 5 years ago, that cost more.
Thanks — I had never heard of that (:
Your local copy is a feature branch, as you are developing features on a branch other than the branch you've designated as the "primary" branch (your "main" is a branch off of the main repo's "main").

There is nothing whatsoever that requires a feature branch be long lived or named anything in particular. This is what I mean when I say you don't understand the technology you're using.

What you have linked is a "flow" that uses branching, and isn't relevant to this discussion.
