But they're saying Netflix etc are going to come up with ads on a paid subscription. So you're not safe anywhere any more.

Incidentally the last time i tried to watch a long video on youtube without ad blockers they showed me an ad every 3 minutes. Fortunately it was a game speedrun so I found it on twitch.

I have heard that a developer willing to learn COBOL can land a massive salary. Is this actually true? What companies are hiring/looking for people and is there a place to get realistic numbers?
Lol, ads

But it's going to take them time to get them prepped for sale, so they're not going to show up all at once.

There are great managers out there, who will take your job seriously, and who can amplify the value you create together, and there are “managers” who know only the whip. If you only know the latter, keep looking because you deserve better.
I was being sarcastic. I find the assertion that modern C++ is a scam hilarious. It doesn't make any sense. Who benefits from this scam? Who are the victims?

The sentence is indeed from a meme template[1], but I thought that my comment would stand on its own.

I heard in the recent coverage of EVGA ending their partnership with NVIDIA and pulling out of the GPU market that NVIDIA not only sets the MSRP, they also set floor and ceiling for the selling prices.

Also, EVGA CEO claimed that it wouldn't be feasible compete with NVIDIA's pricing for Founder's Edition cards, which are usually cheaper.
Any AMD card is really. RX6600's are 2x as powerful as rx480s, and are approaching 200 dollars. Dunno about their workstation ability though
Are there any plans to remove threading from python ?

A year or two ago I read up on the various efforts to make a fast, more parallel CPython, and one of the core underlying problems seemed to be the use of machine threads, resulting in a very high locking load as the large (potentially unlimited) number of threads attempted to defend against each other.

Letting an operating system run random fragments of your code at random times is very much a self-inflicted wound, so I was wondering if the python community has any plans to not do that any more ?
Was she assassinated? I'm not sure that is clear. She was shot.
Another simple answer is that it is a kind of variation on the accent of the Milan area (Varese/Brianza or something like that) that young people in most parts of Italy speak nowadays, since many famous singers and social media personality come from the Milan area.

The best retrofit would be splitting those mega homes into multiple units. We have a housing crisis after all.

I can't even imagine what a 4000sq ft home looks like. You would start using olde timey names for random rooms. "This is the Conservatory, where we keep our 4th xbox, just in case".

Of course not. Finland has both Swedish and Finnish as state languages and the study of Swedish is mandatory for all citizens [2].

Compare it yourself.

Ukraine: "Under the bill, all schools and universities will be required to teach in Ukrainian. All schools and universities are required to teach in Ukrainian, although special exemptions apply to certain ethnic minority languages, to English and to other official languages of the European Union.

Contrary to the minority languages which are EU official languages, Russian, Belarusian and Yiddish are granted no exemption for the purposes of the law." [0]

Finland: "All teaching from children’s pedagogy to university studies is available in Swedish in Finland." [1]

The way we built the prep experience leverages previous tasks and goals and leverages our Jira integration which allows users to complete it in 1-2 minutes. The time saving you get by the whole team doing it is in many cases 10-20 minutes a day so well worth it.
We're working on more features which leverage our Jira integration so eventually you'll be able to do everything you need during standup directly from Spinach in Zoom/Meet/Teams without having to use another app and/or screen share

It's only after it happened to him that now he's suddenly against it. Until he removes the same type of blocks from his own website I have absolutely no sympathy for him.

A Dutch-style bike is perfect for Dutch-style commuting: riding maybe three miles max to the shops or public transit on a high-quality network of bike infrastructure where you won't be bullied by drivers for riding at 8-12mph.

Atrocious US land use & infrastructure makes this less practical for many trips in the US, where destinations are widely spaced to allow for free/easy car parking and evasive maneuvers are often required for safety, and steep/off-road shortcuts are often useful to avoid traveling miles out of one's way on a network of arterial roads designed for fast & easy car travel at the expense of everything else, including human life. A gravel or hybrid bike is better suited for this sort of riding.
Same. The value for me is there. If nothing else to have a "window" in my cube where one monitor streams 4k outdoor videos. The tipping point for me were when visually nsfw ads popped up during these outdoor videos representing a men's deodorant. I didn't want to offend anyone and the direct content I wanted was worth paying for. I appreciate google for giving me the option of going ad free.
> A good EV will get about 3 miles per kWhr

A mediocre one will, à good one will do ~4-4.2, especially if you don’t drive at 80mph/130kph.

C# LINQ does pass an expression tree into the abstraction before it will then serialize it SQL and then the database deserialize it into an AST. LINQ-to-Objects is in memory and works on the AST directly.

Also both LINQ language syntax and library methods are a builder paradigm for the expression tree. Valid, but still far from ideal representation of an AST.
Samsung still manages to do both removable batteries and water resistance in their Galaxy XCover line but I suppose thickness, weight, etc. are more important for the average consumer.
This will keep getting worse until it actually makes people go elsewhere. YouTube and Google are testing the limits of their product(s) as revenue generators now and will continue to try to increase profits this way until some other factor forces them to stop.

I think that eventually people may move over to other online video sharing platforms and not until then will you see the increase in ads slow down or reverse.
48kWh/day is not hard to achieve at all. That’s just about what my solar array produces and that’s more or less energy neutral for our household. We are far from energy misers as well.

Some of it depends on the local climate and other factors that you don’t have a lot of control over though.
IANAL but to my understanding its kind of a stretch to call it double-taxed.

Note: the below is assuming you're doing this mining activity as a private person and not setting it up as a separate legal entity like an LLC or something.

Simplifying, lets say 1BTC==$1USD at time of NiceHash payout, and you received 10 bitcoin. You'd then pay something like your regular income tax rate, lets say 30% on that. So the tax on mining income was $3. You'd still potentially have 10BTC, assuming you paid the tax with other dollars on hand instead of instantly selling.

Then crypto goes up from 1BTC==$1 to 1BTC==$1.50. Your crypto is now worth 10 * 1.5 = $15USD. When you go to sell, you don't pay tax on the full $15 you just pay the tax on the gains, $5. So you'd pay the capital gains tax, probably 15% to you, on that $5 so $0.75USD.

You don't pay the capital gains tax rate on the entire value of your crypto, only the gain in value. So from a USD perspective you didn't get double taxed. You had an income of $10, then you had an "income" of $5 when you realized the gains. That's two different taxable events, not a single one. If you exchanged the BTC to USD immediately at the distribution, you wouldn't of had a capital gains tax as you wouldn't have theoretically experienced any gains/losses on that distribution.

IANAL, this is not tax advice, I am entirely a lay person. If I'm wrong please correct me.
I'm guessing he'd rather be in the USA, if it meant he weren't thrown in a prison cell and possibly executed for treason.

Anyway, what a cynical point of view. Yes, we tend to treat our own citizens here moderately well compared to a totalitarian state (real high bar there). And that's great, but when it comes to international relations, it seems foreigners or even some citizens abroad are viewed as obstacles, at best. This is not a great way to conduct foreign policy. First of all, it's morally wrong, for the same reason you don't want a country doing these things to its own citizens. But if that is unconvincing, then at least an appeal to self-interest: should we ever find ourselves not in the position as #1 superpower, our past actions will likely come back to haunt us.
> The British Museum’s claim is weaker than all regional inheritors.

Why? If one of the regional inheritors only possessed it in the first place because it stole it from somebody else (albeit a long time ago), what makes their claim more valid?
Is it plausible some ISP shared some IP address that was on Cloudflare's list of suspicious IPs, or that some IoT device on this person's network created a burst of suspicious traffic?

I get that this sucks for the end user, but I wonder how much we should blame Cloudflare vs the wider systemic challenges of managing DDOS protection on the web.
I didn't. None of this is really new info, most of it's been through the media before. Nobody cared enough to do anything then, and I'm doubtful they will now.

It's not particularly shocking that the force responsible for foreign psyops is somehow really good at escaping domestic criticism.

The FBI is complicit as well, they've also got a long history of sordid affairs.
Fischer (e.g. 1975), Kasparov (e.g. screw you I'll make my own federation with hookers and blow) are both as prominent players to do things even more qualifying of a ragequit than this though there's plenty of examples more similar to this event.

Suggesting that pro chess players don't tilt is absurd given that we've seen it happen plenty of times, often after losses.
As 2FA adoption spreads, the possibility increases that someone could be using 2FA but not know the rule about not reusing a password. This feature improves the spread of that gospel. It seizes the opportunity to impress an abstract concept to the technically-challenged in a way that is no longer abstract. I like it.

Contracts generally require consideration and legality (in addition to other things).

Consideration means both parties receive benefit from the contract.

Those who disagree with these employment practices will argue that the contracts fail one or both of those requirements.

Legality - we outlaw debt peonage. Do these contacts attempt to create a peonage situations? If so, the contracts are not valid.

Consideration - do both parties receive benefit from the contract? Depending on how the contract is written, it might fail on this as well.
Yup. I find their sales strategy deplorable as not only do they cold call like crazy, but their presence at conferences are all sales and no meat.

For example early on in AWS Lambda’s life, DataDog was hosting a session at reInvent that looked like a semi-advanced dive into the new technology. Awesome! I was legitimately excited and thought this might be one of the better sessions of the conference. I show up only to find it is 30 minutes of stand up comedy, 10 minutes of the most basic “how to create a lambda function” tutorial (probably ripped right from Jeff Barr’s blog), and 15 minutes of “you should buy DataDog”.

To this day, we use “DataDog” as in team meetings as a term to communicate shadiness etc.

(Edited to fix typo on Barr’s name)
Good fucking luck with that. One ad and I'm gone.

If they ever start throwing in ads to premium, I'll go back to relying on adblock, and if that doesn't work I'll just watch something else. Old TV shows on rotate go quite far.
Facebook forces you to watch 15 seconds unskippable Ad. But Facebook is kind enough to let you skip the 2nd Ad after 5 seconds \s

That's why there are typically multiple secret services (with different missions but similar skillsets). They are encouraged to spy on each other. None is allowed to dominate everyone else.

Remember the movie Valkyrie? It provides another vivid illustration of what can be done to reign in a secret police once the army rolls in. The very same thing happened in the USSR during the power struggles after Stalin died.
A good mental model is that EU works pretty much like US did 100 years ago. The US states were roughly as sovereign as EU states (with some important differences, especially in defense and immigration), and US federal government was similarly powerful to EU government.

This has, of course, changed over the last century, and US states lost most of their sovereignty. I predict the same will happen to EU states over the next century.

LINQ creates an AST in the .NET land, however, before passing it to an actual SQL database, it serializes the expression tree to SQL.

So no, it does not talk AST to the database.
> which triggered on every single incremental payout from the mining pool I used

I can't really see how small taxes spread out over small pay-outs would be different from a large tax over the total. It's your marginal tax rate anyway.
> False positives can be a feature when what you're really after is displaying your zeal.

Wow, that is an amazingly perfect description of so many things.

For another example: computer antivirus programs.
Strongly agree, this is one of PG’s worst essays IMO (I’m also generally a fan of his essays). On top of it feeling sales-y, it really gives the vibe of someone who DOESN’T listen to users. There’s essentially nothing concrete that he’s learned from users in this essay, despite that supposedly being the topic, just “they have similar problems and don’t know how to prioritize.”
> Oh, and it's possible to make C as good as Rust: I've got macros to do automatic bounds checking.

The really tricky macro though comes when you want to check races in shared mutable state...
Concrete takes 1.1MJ/kg to manufacture[1]. So, you get ~4000kg of concrete for one laptop's worth of embodied energy. Amortised over the expected lifetimes of the items in question, manufacture of high-density electronics still represents our greatest usage of energy.

Teams that subscribe to the agile methodology have a tendency to churn out ad hoc systems because there is not time for due diligence. The end result is ad hoc things built on ad hoc things. There is no limit to the learning curve. The knowledge doesn't transfer in the smoothest way because (a) there is no time for an engineer to perform due diligence, and (b) engineers are interchangeable cogs that flip high tech burgers based on orders from the Jira board.

The amount of brain waste caused by agile is immense. So many minds toiling away, trying to pick apart some long lost engineer's cleverisms and build something mundane on top of them.
Bravo!!! Such a simple (and more secure) change to the way 2FA works. This should be the standard and also mandatory in many similar cases.
Good for you and for sharing this improvement, that’s the mentality all of us should have. Reminds me on how Volvo shared the 3 point safety belt patent with everyone else so as to make all cars safer, instead of keeping it to themselves I order to profit [ https://www.forbes.com/sites/douglasbell/2019/08/13/60-years... ].
Is it hypocritical? No. Inconsistent? (This is the difference between an act of commission and an lie of omission) Yes, but potentially only temporary. Would Snowden speak out against Russia if the US dropped charges and let him come home? Who can say?
>But they're saying Netflix etc are going to come up with ads on a paid subscription. So you're not safe anywhere any more.

TBF it's just a reversion to the mean. We payed $100+ cable subscriptions for decades to watch content that was >30% ads.

Already well aware our alphabet agencies are deeply problematic. But that's hardly unique to the US. We do need better accountability - something that we've lacked.

Keep in mind it's Snowden - the guy who insisted prior to Feb 24th that all that talk about Russian military build-up was just war-mongering. Turns out the NSA and CIA were right on the money.
I have 6 digits worth of these chips. They've been running fine for years in all sorts of weather conditions. Mining does not destroy cards.

The paste goes bad, but is easily replaced (majority of our cards have been running just fine with OEM old paste). We don't have fans on the cards, but if we did those would go bad and easily replaced. But the cards themselves, really don't go bad very often.

If you're thinking about picking some up, don't worry about the mining part, but definitely use that to try to get a discount.

I think I hit a nerve with this one. If you put out a job ad for any mainstream language (Java, JavaScript, C++, among others) you're inundated by applicants who have no business even working in this industry. If you put an esoteric language like Elixir or Rust, you get a smaller but much higher quality pool of applicants. That's my personal experience, I don't have hard data to back it up. Paul Graham once wrote about this effect in his Great Hackers essay [1].

Of course, the flip side of that is with a smaller pool of applicants, filling the position may not be any easier. It is harder to hire a poor candidate though.

John Carmack has actually played around with Rust. But I would like to reiterate that when generalizing about a population based on statistics, you might be correct more often than you'd be wrong (.e.g. men are more aggressive than women) but you can still easily find individuals who are exceptions. That you can find an exception doesn't disprove the rule. You still have to treat people as individuals, and not as a population. That should go without saying.

He's holed up in Russia because the United States stranded him there.

He was in Hong Kong for the original reporting. When his identity was revealed the United States charged him under the Espionage Act, & revoked his passport. He was flying to Argentina through countries that didn't have extradition agreements with the United States. When he got off in Russia, his passport was confiscated as it was no-longer valid & he spent over a month in the Moscow airport, unable to leave or go anywhere else.
Price is a good stand-in for it, and it helps encourage "landfill rescue" - buying a shirt at goodwill that would otherwise go into the grinder is better than almost any other option for acquiring a shirt, even if it's a relatively crappy shirt.

Part of the issue with it is that what is "most energy efficient/best for the planet" for a single user may not scale up to what is best for everyone to do.

There's also a problem in that future years of function cannot be estimated well or reliably; the average American kitchen will last 40-60 years, but be remodeled in 10-15 years. Since you cannot control what happens after your house is sold, you are better off using another calculation (or assuming that the purchaser of your house will bulldoze it or something).
Normally you ask your compiler to generate the dependency graph on first run, then include it from your Makefile (make already knows to rerun itself when the Makefile deps change).

There is a chance you might’ve been hacked.

You would be surprised to see how easy it is to hack domestic routers.

1. Find and disinfect the devices, including the router. If you don’t have enough technical knowledge, then buy a new router.

2. Use 30 character long random password on the router.

3. Disable UPnP.

4. Anything with WI-FI and weak password can be hacked within minutes, so check your other devices as well, especially IOT ones.
