It was annoying that you couldn't really figure those out because no one at the time knew what deal we'd get. Now we know I feel it would be democratic to ask the people - so this is the deal what do you think? But apparently that is impossible - you have to buy an unknown and be stuck with it for decades.
I recently moved and needed some new furniture. I purchased a bed previously with storage boxes underneath in the past and I was dreading the same experience again.

I did buy a different model[0] this time around and it's been over 5 years since my last purchase, but the quality on this bed is much better. All of the holes were pre drilled/tapped correctly and they've vastly improved the way the mattress slats are secured.

For the drawers underneath, the joining method was much simpler than before and while I still wouldn't look forward to taking it apart if/when I move, I can at least see a viable path for disassembly and re-assembly at my future house. The previous drawers were junk and got stuck or broke within a month.

I'm currently assembling a TV stand[1] and so far it's been great except for the top shelf. It's a veneered wood product and I guess they want you to pick the "best" side and you have to tap the holes yourself. I would have preferred pre-drilled holes since a TV is going to cover 90% of the top anyway, but it's not a huge problem. It's also possible they use the same part number in some other product that doesn't require holes so this way is better for their logistics.

What downsides POP3 has? Looks like a terribly simple protocol and does the job of moving messages from one place to another quite well for me.

Having to use anything more complex would be a downgrade. More complex to setup on server and client side, with more options and more problems to take care of.

I like to use the simplest tool for the job.
Yea, I have some macros cysin and cycos that does that, I just call them cycles instead of turns, but it's the same idea.. ofc internally those are still stupid and just multiply by tau..
There's also a rust version. https://github.com/str4d/rage
How to Open Source Book
I can easily answer that - we have to look no further than the early 200s as well as the experience of our (GenX) parents. Where I used to work a lot of the things were settled by internal telephone calls within the office. On a normal workday I would receive anywhere from 10 to 30 calls, when work sessions were intense it would near 50-60 for a working day. Since the work I had to do was extremely detail-oriented and required a lot of concentration these calls were absolutely destroying my productivity.

My parents would receive about 5 to 20 calls every day, which I had to answer and be sort of like a secretary (as they were often not at home) - this was before mobile phones. This was an experience that was very very not pleasant.
Mine sits in a drawer, battery long dead. I think there's a 5S in there too. I upgraded to the 11 despite wanting a smaller phone at the time, now the SE size is far too small to do anything, haha.

I imagine it'll remain there until I move, then it'll be sold or (more likely) recycled.
You're right, it seems to be Krathwohl who did most of v2.

Some of the schools I used to work with, very much were harping on "understand" at the time when v2 came out.

Consider this:

grep -P 'start: (\d+) end'

"How do I make it print only the captured group with the number, not the whole line?" is a pretty common Stack Overflow question. The "\K" thing gets rid of the "start: " part, but what about " end"? That's were "reverse \K" would come in handy.
Very good list. As an open source user, I want to add that I look for two types of writings when I am trying to use a new open source project.

The first type has official tutorials (not full reference, not API docs, but official tutorials). It helps me to learn how the project authors/maintainers want me to use the software.

The second type has blog posts and articles written by other users of the project. These are unofficial, informal posts that shows how the software is used by other people. They help me to learn alternate ways of using the software, learn what problems others faced and how they solved it.

Any contribution in these two types of documentations are sure to make good impact on a good number of users.
I'm not sure how true that is. I think it's dependent on location really or country for conflicts. Some places have seen a lot of violence. Violent crime rates were pretty high in some areas too.
Seems to me like a future<void> that can safely be dereferenced is ready and not void itself. That the data type can point to a void doesn't really matter it seems, just that the pointer itself isn't null. Essentially, is void seems to be a null check that works for more types.
Interesting, any resources you can share?
You don't care much about that if you use ie 10-shot .22 revolver. You can't suppress it that well though.

The other thing is, revolver doesn't leave empty shell around (unless you intentionally throw it away at that place when reloading). Which is good for assassins, but if in this case shell was found (not familiar with the case) then its probably not this.

A significant portion of ED is traced back to male genital mutilation.

> Always weirds me out when a dude compares a circumcision to FGM, like someone is intentionally conflating a much lesser evil with a far greater one.

You keep avoid using the term "male genital mutilation". Always weirds me out when people don't want to call an amputation, an amputation.

I don't know the GP's reason, but I also orderd long aluminum profiles for LED installations (it's needed for heat dissipation, and also helped with mounting in my case).
>But math never decreed that sine and cosine have to take radian arguments!

Ummm, actually it did. The Taylor-series of sine and cosine is the simplest when they work with radians. Euler's formula (e^ix = cosx + isinx) is the simplest when working with radians.

Of course you can work in other units, but you'll need to insert the appropriate scaling factors all over the place.

"Turns" don't generalize to higher dimensions either. With radians you can calculate arc length on a circle by multiplying with the radius. This extends naturally to higher dimensions: a solid angle measured in steradians lets you calculate surface area on a sphere by multiplying with the radius. How do you do the same with "turns" on a sphere? You can't in any meaningful way.
In my country, the EasyPark app seems to have taken a lot of the market. Almost every parking space I see now has it as an option, including spaces owned by the city. Thankfully, they currently still support paying with cash, but machines often don't return change and only accept coins, so they can be inconvenient.

It's shocking to compare the privacy aspect of the app: instead of anonymously throwing some coins into a machine and putting a slip on your dashboard, the app needs: your phone number, your plate number, your credit card details and full GPS access. They're not hiding this: It's explained in their GDPR privacy notice that they track and store your phone location and travel routes even when you're not using a parking space.

On top of that, you also pay more for parking when using the app, since they take some percentage commission of the parking cost (apparently depending on your account options, but I never got far enough with the app to find this out)
Its an model that abstracts the internals away. The prototype property is part of javascript.
All of those are constant costs, independent of actually generating energy.

Those are problems, which are solvable by predictable amounts of money. Once you commit to it, they aren't a problem. Real problem is that those look like low hanging fruit to politicians, that love to gut programs, where effect will be seen decades later. We can see this now in France, which was so close to actual energy independency.

>But I'm not really aware of companies pitching solutions anywhere close to solar/wind pricing, even at their current price levels.

Yeah, but those regularly produce energy below 5% capacity factor. You have to compare nuclear to renewables + storage. Once you have solution that can withstand December in Poland - very low solar capacity, low wind capacity - you have something to talk about.

While I think height does play a role, as a slightly below average height male I’ve personally never had an issue dominating / being defaulted to after brief interactions.

While this trend / tendency does exist and imo is extremely strong genetically (looking to the “alpha”), a few words can shake that tendency in most rooms.

I think being better groomed, fit, etc probably plays an overall larger role in terms of projecting competence.

Being confident and speaking with conviction in statements likely outweighs everything
It sort of reminds me of a video game UI for an RPG or something. Game UIs usually do a great job of organizing and simplifying complex hierarchical information and making it quick and intuitive to find what you need. A lot of the web tech I've built over the years has been inspired by well designed games.
Doesn't rich text CRDT require messy rules to comply with our collaborative undo-redo mental model?
That depends. We could set standards for what information is linked to that plate and to whom it is accessible. (My state actually has a standard for some info which should not be tied to a plate, but they do it anyways. But nobody is going to stop them. I brought it up to the AG's office, but they were complete idiots about it)

One could also set up an anonymous LLC and register the vehicle that way if they really cared.
There's no reason to suppose that an intelligent alien race would find it convenient to count things in base that matches the number of "fingers" they have, if they even have such a thing.

Whales aren't far from being intelligent enough to form a technical civilization, but their body plan makes it unlikely that they'd use their "fingers" (or fins) to count, or to communicate with other whales.

Even if you gave an alien two human hands and knew that their counting system's base was derived from physical features of their "hands" it's not obvious that they'd come up with either base-5 or base-10 if they where starting from first principles.

We have 3 joints that make up our fingers, but the "base 10" assumes we only use one of those. It's not obvious that even a close relative to humans wouldn't come up with base-20 or base-30 just from counting using their fingers.

If you straighten or bend your wrist to add an "extra" finger for counting you're now counting in base-6 on one hand, base-12 on both. Do the same with your elbow joint and you're base-7 and base-14, respectively.
Why not? The head and the tail are both ends.

IMAP development started in the 1980s (RFC 1064), and was run over POTS modems for many decades: I find it hard to believe that it can't handle the 'low-end' of things.

The fact that many clients assume high-end / high-speed links is not a fault of the protocol.
I agree that hoping jobs can be seen bad. But isn’t it a chicken and egg problem?

If you don’t have interesting experience nobody will hire you. If you have too many job hops nobody will hire you.

I am exactly in this position. My current and previous role where both not very interesting on paper, so the interview ended when I was talking about my job in detail.

So is hoping jobs to get more valuable experience better or staying in a job just to demonstrate stability better? Nobody is saying hoping is good but not everyone has landed a great job yet…
You can block Lulu with Lulu. I think by now we should all have learnt to block internet access for every app, and only enable it if it really needs it - that's exactly what an application firewall like Lulu is for.
All measurements used to be a mess: lengths, weights, and so on.
At the French revolution, they broke the status quo by introducing the metric system. Originally, the metric system also included a new calendar:

- One day has 10 hours.

- One hour is divided in units of 10, 100, 1000 (probably deci/centi/milli hours).

- One week has ten days.

- Each year starts at the fall equinox.

This calendar was used for 14 years. Then, Napoleon decided to bring back the previous calendar system as he reintroduced Catholicism as a state religion. Indeed the revolution calendar was purposely anti-christian: it moved the first year from the birth of JC to the year of the French revolution. Several religious events like Easter were hard to compute. Christmas was the day of the dog...

Anyway, we could have got a calendar system that makes sense, but History decided otherwise.
"Believe"? It's the common definition. Belief has nothing to do with it.
The first thing I tried is, does middle-click open a new tab properly? Turns out it does, which already puts this site above average compared to a lot of online shops I use, simply for not breaking a standard browser feature!

Ways I've seen it done wrong include middle-click/Control+click not working at all, because the links are some kind of onclick="javascript:" monstrosity, or the link working but some script in the background also redirecting the page on the tab I originally clicked on.

(I can understand some kind of "flow control" during the checkout process to stop you from double-submitting the "place order" request. But not when I'm browsing the products, and sometimes want two tabs open side by side to compare things.)
This is like complaining about g in F = g * m, in gravitional force formula, and redefining gravitional constant g as 1 and multiplying "gram" by 1/9.8.

Sure it simplifies things for you but you are breaking everything else that used g constant

Or we can redefine seconds perhaps and multiply it sqrt(1/9.8)
> In another experiment (I think referenced by Sapolsky), an animal (primate) watches a human perform a ritual that produces a reward (treat).

I wouldn't say no one thinks about this issue, but I agree its typically dismissed as not serious.

I think society thinks its important to socialize men in particular to "listen to authority without complaining" and this not-so-subtly tells certain men that if people don't treat you with respect then its your problem, not theirs.

One thing I hate about the contemporary American political landscape is that its all in on the false dichotomy between personal responsibility and a well conceived society. Both things can coexist and in fact require one another.

In fact, even though republicans love to talk about "personal responsibility," in a free market it is one of the least required things: the market tells you what to do with yourself on pain of penury. Its really in a society where conventions like social welfware can be abused where people's personal responsibility, character and civic virtues really matter.

Exactly that, it's terribly simple. People have multiple devices, that alone makes POP3 an annoying protocol to use.

That might be the perception inside Apple but I'm certain Arm was planning to build a 64 bit core anyway and would expect to work with leading customers on its development. So calling it 'the Apple ISA' is overstating it a bit.

Radians are God’s chosen angular unit. If you want to do mathematics, you have to use radians.
POP3 is exceedingly simple protocol compared to IMAP. I'd rather use the simplest tool for the job.

In case the password leaks, attacker can only fetch new messages over POP3, and not plant them or fetch the entire archive from the server. (yeah, I can fetch and delete over IMAP too, but then what's the point of all the extra unused complexity of IMAP, it's just an extra risk)

Is the issue that you want a job where everyone else is also required to be 100% on site? I'm assuming that most "2 day per week" companies would be ok with you coming in 4 or 5 days a week but because most of your coworkers would not choose to do that you would lose most of the benefits you get from a 100% on-site environment? Or are some companies now also imposing a maximum on the number of days you're allowed rather than required to come in?
>But they are turns of a circle of a given radius.

No, a revolution is a revolution. If you turn a 1 m wheel by one revolution and a 2 m wheel also by one revolution, both will have turned one revolution, or 2 pi radians. If you roll both of them 2 pi m forward on the ground, one will have turned one revolution, or 2 pi radians, and the other will have turned half a revolution, or pi radians.

That's an overly-simplistic breakdown. Almost all campaigns I've seen, across political stripes, include an element of "don't let the other guys win!". After all, it was Hillary's main selling point.

Also, even those candidates widely regarded as "fearful" actually had campaigns based on hope, of bringing in a better world if only certain problems could be fixed. I'll leave you to fill in the obvious blanks.
>This has been really frustrating as a junior developer, it's just impossible to get any critical feedback or have someone take a mentorship role.

I've had a situation where I was asking a tall/attractive/charismatic acquaintance for technical advice and he stoped me and said something like "Why are you asking me for advice, you are way more experienced than I am". It's not that I shouldn't have talked with him about the technical matter, just that it was funny that I slid so naturally into the 'underling' role.
Most of the comments here report the opposite of the linked article. Using Linux still seems to involve a significant amount of being your own IT department.

I have tried Linux a few times over the years. One test was for almost 2 weeks on vacation, in a developing country, where it wasn't safe to be walking around with a MacBook. Another was for a few days as a Linux home theater. After struggling for hours with the sound drivers I gave up. I was frustrated with the amount of trouble shooting involved with Linux. That combined with preferring the OS has kept me on MacBooks for the past decade+.

This is generally how game (engine) code works as well. The example in the article is an example of performing that conversion, except with turns instead of degrees.

It's just a rhetorical mechanism to deliver critique in a format that is entertaining and not too dry.
There is a big difference between "remote work" and "working over Zoom". The companies who just went home and then told everyone to get on a camera are not the ones who are succeeding.

But more importantly, you are correct - socialization is critical for some people. But that doesn't mean it has to come from your office. The people I know who need that interaction and do not get enough from family or housemates solve it by gathering in groups in their local town and putting together their own working space.

Personally, I find it odd if not downright disturbing that you equate going to an office with long-term health. Most of us find the opposite. We're all different people with different needs, of course, but you really might want to consider all possible options for getting your personal needs met.
A friend of mine worked there right after college. I happened to buy some girl scout cookies through her, and joked with her that you can get everything from McMaster. When she brought me the cookies, she brought me a fake McMaster invoice for them too.
