Good strategy. I would suggest not hooking it up to prod DB at the start. Rather script out something to restore prod DB backups nightly to a staging env. That way you can hookup non prod instances to it and keep testing as the other engineers continue with what they do until you can do a flip over as suggested. Key here is always having a somewhat up to date DB that matches prod but isn't prod so you don't step on toes and have time to figure this out.

Note that going from no source control to first CD instance in prod is going to take time...so assume you need a roll out strat that won't block the other enigneers.

Considering what sounds like reluctance for change the switch to source control is also going to be hard. You might want to consider scripting something that takes the prod code and dumps it into SC automatically, until you have prod CD going...after that the engineers switch over to your garden variety commit based reviews and manual trigger prod deploy.

Good luck! It sounds like a interesting problem
Technically speaking it is OK to pass two aliasing mut _pointers_ to a (safe) Rust function because safe Rust can't do anything dangerous with raw pointers; both dereferencing and writing through a raw pointer require unsafe. If we are talking about references instead, creating two mutable references to the same object in Rust (unsafe or not) immediately causes UB.
Sure. That is also why we don't have secretaries no more.

So instead Facebook will have programmers fixing shelves and yanky doors.
I might have been that dude on the bus stop who grabbed his phone. What you might not have realized was that I was writing my master thesis there. And when I was not writing I was reading and annotating sources.

A phone looks like a phone, it is very hard to know what people do on it. They could make a bank transfer, read Aristoteles, look at puppy pictures, read the news, chat to an old friend, ...
It's called "Language Reactor" now.

The problem with tiktok isn’t the tech. It’s the content. They have pointed a fire hose of absolute garbage content at the population. And induced some kind of mass mental illness on people, especially kids.
I tried it on two different browsers and it does exactly nothing.

It's just a diagram showing labels and lines? But nothing moves, and I don't see any rabbits or dogs.

I checked developer tools, and there are no messages.

Not really sure what it's supposed to do.
I use captions too, even though I can (usually) hear the TV. There are many reasons for this:

- I think it makes it somewhat easier to understand than audio only, for one thing.

- If you do not know what they said, because you have missed it, possibly due to other noise in the room (telephone, other people speaking, etc).

- Sometimes the speech of the movie is difficult due to e.g. you do not understand the accent of their speech, etc.

- If you want to reduce the volume or mute to not bother other people.

- If you do not know how to spell someone's name, or an obscure word. (Unfortunately, sometimes the caption writers do not know, and do it wrong.)

- In some shows, they will mention the name of a piece of music; this can help in case you do not know. (They do not always do this, though.)

However, there are often problems with them. For example, sometimes the caption writers do not know what they are saying, either. The caption writers should try to make an effort to find out what they are saying (and the proper spelling), by whatever means are appropriate, e.g. referring to the script, asking the people there, watching the show twice to make corrections if necessary, etc. (This might not always be possible, e.g. live shows that are broadcast as they are being filmed rather than being edited later, but they should do it when possible.)

I also sometimes see worthless captions, e.g. "male announcer reads words on screen". I think that is worthless, and should be omitted.

(If you can specify "hidden captions", then it may be useful to encode the text which is already part of the picture, as a hidden caption and then allow it to be displayed in a caption scrollback menu if the TV system you are using has such a menu (I do not know of any that do have it, but it is something that I would think would be good to have).)

A good feature of captions is that you can turn on/off, and can customize fonts/opacity on some receivers (I personally prefer translucent captions). (DVD video only allows on/off (and selection by language, sometimes), although it should also be possible to allow adjusting colours/opacity (since DVD subtitles are encoded as pictures using indexed colours), although font changing will not be possible.)
My experience with dumpster fire legacy systems is to at least ensure you have proper backups in place so you can roll back if the worst happens.
In my mid forties and gave up on trying to understand the audio a couple years ago.

Recently bought a sound bar which has helped quite a bit with the audio quality - apparently it's one with emphasis on centre channel so should have better voice output? - but we're still rocking the subtitles.

The big downside is I tend to read them much faster. So I'm often laughing at jokes several seconds before my partner as apparently I read faster than they do!
I observed this in The Walking Dead, in the first seasons I could clearly hear the dialogue, but since 4-5 seasons I need subtitles for everything. Zombie noises from 200m away are louder than main characters speaking next to the camera.
This sounds like the story of a proper, piecemeal, rewrite where the whole team was on board.
I think our auditory system just isn't great. Compressed formats with bitrate of 320kbps is borderline indistinguishable from raw formats in audio, while it will be borderline unbearable in video.
> BLC requires translating bitstrings into lambda terms, to which the machine (itself a lambda term) can be readily applied.

I.e. a man behind the curtain is required to complete the "interpreter".
Space junk in orbit is much more accessible than the nearest asteroid.

Its also far easier to recycle and salvage than refining raw ore.
Or, they might have been zombies for real. That is, people who merely exist, but do not really live anymore. The world is full of them.

People who have no more hopes or dreams, other than to make it somehow through the day.
At what point did I give the impression I don't think GPT-3 is an amazing piece of technology that unlocks enormous value?

Just because it's amazing doesn't mean there isn't a serious challenge here for people who are trying to build applications on top of it.

If you have solutions I want to hear them! I thought I made that very clear in my writing: I am desperately keen to find a robust mitigation for the attack I am describing, because I want to be able to safely build things on top of these models.
I've been programming professionally in C++ for 15 years and can say I wholeheartedly disagree. I'm looking forward to whenever our engineering team adopts a newer compiler version in our legacy codebase (sadly we're stuck at C++17 for now).

Whenever I move from the old-style C++98 code units to newer modern C++ ones I breath a sigh of relief. It's beautiful, safe and modern; it reads like poetry.

If I get a code review where someone manually calls new/delete I will fail that code review.

That said, I agree this proposed "new syntax" is ugly and unreadable and unnecessary.
It's clickbait if the headline implies that the person pays 100% of the cost. The title should read, in your way of saying it, "Medical Bills Are $3500, but Most Pay $500 and Insurance Covers the Rest for 85% of Women."
If the code is so bad, how is it generating $20M a year?
Well you’re consistent, I give you that.

What I would say is that collectively we decide on the rules of society— what conditions are acceptable and so on. And just as we have decided in the US that it is unacceptable to allow four year olds to sweep chimneys, so too can we decide that, in the words of Franklin Roosevelt, “no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country.”

Exact same problem at home... it was so bad on Interstellar that after that movie, she never went to a cinema with me again, or watched any movies together at all :(.
Doesn't that not work because `nums` is all initialized to 0 though?

Like, wouldn't it be

for (int num : nums) {
num = rng();
}

(I don't know any c++). I kind of expect the above not to work though because it's doing an assignment. I suppose this is a good argument to just use a `fill` or `generate` function...

That's not what a quote operator does; it does precisely nothing, yielding the argument formula without evaluating it. No encoding-of-encoding. Just the encoding.

I used to use a similar system for a local shop, the day they picked me out for a bag check, I took each item out, left it on the floor, had the guy okay it and walked away.

There needs to be punishments for false accusations, unfortunately the best I could do was waste a little bit of the stores time.
I'm not talking about cell networks. Common carrier also applied to POTS (i.e., copper wire), a system that (unlike the airwaves) was built entirely by private companies.

And once again, it's not about having alternative walled gardens (which already exist). It's about promoting open debate on all platforms. What's wrong with that? If censorship is the only way your ideas can win, your ideas suck.

Incidentally, this also protects the far left if Elon Musk ends up buying Twitter.
Why is 'saving the world' even on the table here or in similar cases? Guys making $20mil a year don't look to me like they need saving from above. If you have that kind of money I trust you know what you're doing and can pay for help when help is needed. Otherwise, you don't deserve that cash. Other people might spend it better.

I, for one, have never been saved out of good heart or pitty. Every doctor visit somehow results in money being transfered from my bank account to theirs.
Thank you! This is quite helpful.
> you are effectively the property manager for a run-down rental property.

This is an incredibly powerful analogy. Thank you!
What do you mean by 'big spend'? The federal reserve can't print oil or copper. Those supply chains need to be built out and that requires a market sufficient to pay back those investments or government essentially subsidizing(more that currently done) the profits of those endeavors. You can't get a private company to build a refinery if you simultaneously tell them there won't be a market for the product before they've paid off half of the investment. If you think that the government should spend the money to secure enough dirty energy to complete the transition then I'm 100% in agreement.

We should be bringing Si mfg back to the US where we have plenty of methane("natural" gas) needed to do so. We should build more fission. We should continue to buy solar panels, rare earths and Li from China, as long as they're willing to sell it to us. But none of this is an either/or decision. We need a realistic path to the green future or we risk screwing up the transition, ruining our economy and setting ourselves up to have regressive political revolutions.
My local little Sainsbury does that. I use it all the time. It's very handy.

The larger one a bit further away let's you do all of that except that there's still a checkout for paying at and they do a re-check of a few items every so often.
I both agree and disagree.

A university degree is basically a sort of intellectual cave diving exercise. You need to be comfortable exploring in the dark, and sometimes you need to hold your breath under water until you emerge on the other side of the tunnel.

There may be no purpose at the end of a given cave. In fact most university courses are like this, you won't use the content later in life.

Others can be abbreviated, but on purpose are not, precisely because we want to practice hard things. For instance why do we need to do arithmetic beyond the point where we understand the uses and limitations of a calculator? Similarly for calculus, why do more trig substitutions beyond where you understand how a symbolic calculator works?

In the end the purpose isn't to have the knowledge you need, but to be able to find it. For instance, I didn't know anything about option math when I finished, so I read some books on my first job learned it that way.

Having said that, I think the attitude of "why on earth do I need this" is unhealthy. It makes it hard to concentrate when you know that you can forget about it the moment the exam ends. Perhaps it's better to develop an appreciation that calculus is at the bottom of a lot of things, and might be a starting point for unknown adventures later on.

There is a deliberate reversal of roles in my sentence that may not be obvious at a glance.
Very often the person "more powerful than you" in question is a closeted, or unknowing, sociopath, or psychopath (I am using the terms by definition, no judgement) and your opinion still might be interpreted as an attack, regardless of reasoning. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/08/the-science-behind-why-so-ma...
It is very difficult to work with such people. So, be extra careful when challenging anything that is on the agenda of a sociopath boss. You've been warned.
Helen Keller turned out to be flat-out wrong on this one, as a cursory examination of life expectancy statistics and especially infant mortality statistics over the last century shows.
Without tax, I assume. For people in other regions tax will be added now.
Nice puzzle! It would be nice to indicate whether the transition with two conditions is an “or” or “and”.
We've done business with many "old school" merchant service providers and none have had us pay anything upfront. The only difference is that Stripe has a better API. Stripe's onboarding is not faster or cheaper than the other merchants by "automating". In fact, time-to-first-payout is much slower, less reliable, and the fees are much more expensive than any of our other providers.

Having a knack for these, I found these "lack" of hints (understanding goal, covered tiles, no precondition failed) to be part of the game, and making deduction/memory work for it. There was just enough for me to understand it.

Had these hints been there I'd have been bored rather quickly.
That was a fun puzzle. I like that it was intuitive and you could figure out how to play without a stupid tutorial. Well done

> What is important about Nevermind is the production.

The songwriting and the production. Nevermind has really good songs; better than on Bleach. Butch Vig has produced tens of records, many of which were good and popular. Yet Nevermind and Siamese Dreams - made two years after Nevermind - are the impactful standouts because the songs and the sound are jointly incredible.

In Utero, produced by pop-unfriendly Steve Albini, and distinctly non-smooth, was also a huge record, but I'd absolutely concede that it may not have broken through if Nevermind hadn't come before.
Copper prices are actually down quite a bit right now, but that may be due to previous hoarding in China coupled with economic slowdown and/or disruptions in their metals markets(see https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-18/tycoon-ru...).

There are quite a lot of analysts claiming we will be short on copper once the green revolution gets under way(remember, you're talking billions of new EVs, generators, increases in electrical distribution, etc). Think about it this way: all the energy currently delivered by fossil fuels(more or less, due to some efficiency gains) will need to be delivered by the electrical network. We're also busy giving improved living standards to the half of the earth that still lives in less-than-modern conditions. We're going to need to use more aluminum(4th most common element in the crust?) or we're going to run out of copper.

Maybe in US Apple is the super app - just with integrated hardware too. iPhones are extra common there.
That’s not necessarily true. Many founders end up selling products or services to the companies they previously worked for. I know of more than one person who left a previous company to pursue something that started as a side-project that many of us were aware of long before their departure and wished them well. There are plenty of places where if you’re getting your work done people are actually reasonable and nice, at least my experience with startups has seemed this way.

“No translations available yet for this record”
Although travelers paint a rosy picture (what’s a Buddhist monk going to tell the folks at home?) the best days of Indian Buddhism were already in the past by the 7th century. Shankaracharya (who was actually a century later in the opinion of most historians) actually doesn’t criticize Buddhism that much; the main philosophical opposition came from Nyaya and Mimamsa and at the popular level from Shaivism/Shaktism and Vaishnavism.
I have an additional theory:

In the past, that line needed to come in loud and clear, or people would just miss it, probably forever. Now, we can rewind, or of course turn on subtitles, so there's not as much pressure on the audio finishing to be super clear.
i would suggest you take some money and hire someone from the outside to tell management and the devs exactly that. They will listen because it is coming from the outside. Then after that you can decide whether to change something or not, Does not matter what. personally i would also go for the low hanging fruits first:
- backups of the database
- git push all the code which lives on production

rewrites are super dangerous, double if the team is junior then they would need to double all the features, migrate, develop the skills they lack now, otherwise same mess in the end with a new framework and so on.
Don't overthink it. You can validate the idea using SEO tools, check if the competitors have traffic and do some detective work to see if they are viable companies.

Check the SEO space, and see how many people are running ads on the main search terms, how hard is it to rank for the the main keywords. Check if forums exists, and discount coupons for similar products in marketplaces, check for similar products on product hunt and all the other product websites like Appsumo, Capterra, etc.

Look for blogs, Youtube channels, Facebook groups, subreddits. Join the communities and post there, ask questions. Interact one on one with at least 15 or 20 people and ask them about their needs.

You can do all this in a couple of weeks in the evening, without even writing a single line of code, and validate your idea.

Regarding the legal part, unless you are directly competing with your employer, they couldn't care less.

And even then, a lot of companies are created by people that learned the industry by working for other companies.

Your boss does not care about your side project, as long as you get the job done. But for you to feel better, don't put your name on it until you have quit your job, it's the internet you can still be anonymous.

No company is going to waste their time and expensive legal resources gratuitously suing you for a side project, unless it's something blatant that directly impacts their bottom line.

I wouldn't tell your boss about your side-project either. He will likely just see it as a sign of lack of dedication, that your priorities are elsewhere, and a tell sign that you will leave soon anyway.

So if they are on the fence on keeping you, that might trigger a decision.
Wine gets a lot of "marketing" around it before you've had it, in order to mark up the prices. As consumers you're conditioned to expect to pay high prices for certain metadata about the wine.

The question should be, in a double blind glass of wine, how do you know what it's worth?
Tang Ping: Anti-Hustle Culture
I’ve always thought - there has to be a reset of the hustle culture and never ending rat race in one way or another someday.

I wonder if we’re seeing the start of it now!
Currently:

- The Spider-man port that finally made its way to the PC. Insomniac nailed the movement and combat on this one to the extent that it already feels awesome to mop up the side missions without even concentrating on the main story.

- Moonlighter. I'm stuck in the DLC and it's becoming more of a grind, but I still like its formula quite a bit. I just miss the music from dungeon 2&3…

Self checkout would be a great idea, if you used the same software the cashiers used.

Unfortunately, like every software made since 2010, its gimped so that it doesn't scare people, so its too slow. I used a scanner at home to scan my books (they are just usb keyboards, so surprisingly easy to integrate in e.g a spreadsheet), and the scan was so quick. I could go through all my grocecies in basically no time if all I had to was scan them.

So I always pick the cashier, and then start reading on my phone while standing in line. This essentially reduces the wasted time close to zero, even if it does not reduce the wall time to zero.

This is the type of article that keeps me here. Nachos are probably one of my favorite foods, and I'd never once thought about the origin for some reason. This entire article was fascinating!

I now live nowhere near a pro sports team, but often tell my family tales of the nachos mentioned in the article. It's a weird item that you -know- isn't real, tastes cheap, but you still love for some reason. Like Totinos pizzas. Can't really explain why I like either, maybe it's just because I had both as a kid.
