From memory, you could get a prepaid SIM without an ID well after 9/11. I think it was introduced to get rid of burner phone SIMs back when SMS was still a thing.
I'm stuck in a similar boat. Expensive TV now trying to steel my attention when I turn it on because my 12yo thought they were being helpful by connecting to the internet. Was just thinking about trying a factory reset. 30s of "look at our apps" followed by 30s "update your software." I love the picture quality and HATE the "smart" features.
There's a sense that pay transparency will increase competition for lucrative roles and decrease overall comp (but perhaps increase average comp). A lot of people think they have it good and it'll be worse when there's pay transparency (even though this is not true transparency, it's simply public pay bands for listed roles).

- Decentralised, anonymous voting applications
- Privacy preserving peer to peer networks
Optus exist in a competitive market, their ability to raise prices to pass this cost on is limited.

From what source though? Antenna broadcast? Otherwise it’s better to route through the set-top box if at all possible, and that can output directly to the sound bar.
I think it's extremely important to differentiate between prisons (which, honestly, need some work anyways) and institutions that specialize in mental healthcare and drug addiction treatment that include mandatory stays.

Perhaps.

Laws usually do precisely the opposite of what their titles describe.

The PATRIOT act was quite possibly the most unpatriotic thing Congress could have done. The Inflation Reduction Act will increase inflation.

I wouldn't be surprised if I read this law and found that it actually criminalized sharing your salary.

Moreover, the devil is always in the details.

Who is exempted? Does this cover total compensation, or just salary?

How much burden does this place on smaller employers? More often than not, regulation like this is a tool for large businesses to strangle startups in the crib with compliance costs.

If I am not mistaken, salary packages for CEOs went up when that information was made public in the company's annual report because other CEOS could demand more money because the CEO of a similar company was much higher.

I'm not sure about alphabets but I'm pretty sure there are differences in written languages. All languages tend to have roughly the same bitrate when spoken in good conditions. But some languages tend to have simpler sounds spoken more rapidly, like Spanish or Japanese, and some tend to have more complicated sounds spoken more slowly, like English or Chinese. So if you compare the traditional Latin alphabet encoding of English versus Spanish then English will tend to be denser, though at the expense of a lot of pronunciation ambiguity for unfamiliar words due to having way more vowel sounds than the 5 the Latin alphabet has characters for.
I believe this is extremely untrue - during the 70's it was (depressingly) actually accurate as stupid American politics kept leaded gasoline legal far beyond when it was known to be dangerous and caused a significant jump in violent crime but, for the most part, people are people.

At high concentration DXM is an NMDA antagonist and AXS-05 does dramatically increases DXM concentration [0] (slide 6). It is not clear to me why we should "ignore anyone" who makes this comparison?

2. On AXS-05 having a wide array of receptor targets:

And that's exactly what GP is trying to convey.
Part of it was that keybindings were still in flux at the time. Strafe actually appeared in Wolfenstein 3D already, but the way you did it was by holding Alt while pressing left/right arrow; you used the arrows without Alt to turn around (and using the mouse to turn was very uncommon back then). The original Doom inherited that.

It wasn't really a good setup even in Wolf3D, but it took some time for the gamers to figure that out, and for those findings to percolate as the defaults in newer games. Even Quake (1) didn't have mouse look + WASD enabled by default. I think part of the inertia was that arrow keys were so ingrained as navigation by design (they're arrows!) that abandoning them just didn't make sense.
Nah, that's OK.

Have a great day!

That is a contributor, but not the only one. Helicopter parenting by itself also shares some of the blame.
The problem is getting to be that the framework is getting big enough that people new to the company don't always know what's in it, and accidentally end up implementing something that already existed. We're still working on a solution to this.

If you ever solve it, please let me know! Discoverability is hard.

Many years ago, we were trying to introduce a form of peer review process for the group I worked in, and we did a few exercises to see how well it worked in practice. I will always remember the striking result that around 50% of the issues raised during the first code review experiment were about reimplementing functionality that was already available somewhere else that the developer just hadn’t come across before.

I find this problem often happens with large standard libraries. Languages from Python to Haskell come with huge numbers of useful data structures and algorithms out of the box that can reduce a handful of lines of boilerplate to a one-liner with a standard name if you just use the provided tool. But of course, first you need to know that that tool exists, or at least have enough intuition that it might/should exist to check for it.

The best practical solution I’ve encountered so far is Haskell’s, where the strong culture around static typing means data structures and other important patterns tend to have explicit and well-known names, and where we have Hoogle, which is essentially a search engine that looks for known functions based on their input and output types. Need a function that checks if a given value is in a list but can’t remember what it’s called? Just search for `[a] -> a -> Bool` (Haskell syntax for a function taking a list of some type and a single value of that type and returning true/false) and you’ll soon find `elem`. Oh, and `notElem`. And their respective generalisations that work on types other than just lists, too.

In today’s world full of package managers and external dependencies and remote APIs and microeverythings, it feels like standardising this kind of search tool could have enormous benefits. It’s a problem that will always be difficult to automate away with tools given the fundamental limitations, but developers who know their own intent when writing code could certainly save a lot of time and make that code shorter and safer if we moved in this direction.

Big corp foisting social agency change on people has biological effects. It rather highlights the lack of free agency and self determination our society is built on.

Go ahead and be academic but you’re one of billions, aka too insignificant to matter by your own tools of measure; there’s a reason the mathematicians of old warned against the application of such cognitive tools to societies needs.

I’ve had high success rate effecting significant course changes in several roles, at several distinct jobs. One of the things I emphasize to mentees is that their word and will is powerful, more than in most IC roles. Even so, the error in your reasoning here is obvious to me, especially applied to such large companies. Your chance of success effecting a course change is high, but the company may value your contributions less than they value the course they want to keep. They may also be in a position to hire people whose talent and compliance are more valuable than your own.

What are they gonna do? They’re gonna find someone else among hordes of applicants to do what you won’t.

Yup the caches for each architecture are available in parallel and multiple builds for a single architecture can simultaneously use the same build machine for a single project. So we don't limit the concurrency.

I believe Cloud Build has no persistent caching so you are forced to use remote cache saving and loading. Which can incur a network latency that can slow the build to some extent. Cloud Build with Kaniko also expires the layer cache after 6 hours by default.

GitHub Actions is similar except that there is the ability to store Docker cache using GitHub's Cache API via the `cache-to=gha` and `cache-from=gha` directives. However, this has limitations like only being able to store a total cache size of 10GB per repository. You also have network latency for loading/saving that cache as well.

With Depot, the cache is kept on a persistent disk. So no need to save/load it or incur network latency doing so. It's there ready to be used by any builds that come in for the given projects.

Yes, and for countries too: most large countries are controlled by psychopaths, eg Putin, Xi, Erdagon, Bolsonaro, Trump if the coup had succeeded (maybe next time).

Whilst smaller countries are more often somewhat well functioning democracies.

Hmmm. They are graphing the data since 1965. Did equity options even exist then? Because they make up almost all of CEO pay these days.

Wal-Mart CEO made $1.2 million in salary last year and the rest were stock options awards. If you stay consistent, CEO salary has probably increased very little since 1965.

Either way I can't detect a causal link between c-level pay and salary disclosures. The CEO hiring market has always been quite small and I find it hard to believe that CEOs in the 1960s and 70s were getting taken advantage of and being underpaid

This is a good thing. Your pay shouldn’t depend on how good you were at negotiating on interview day. People with a lesser focus on social engineering don’t deserve lower pay for same work.
When shelter is offered without any strings attached it is almost never refused by homeless persons. Some people have developed serious trust issues with government authorities after decades of abuses but if the housing is presented as a thing they control it is almost universally accepted.

The problem is that shelter is always offered with strings attached - you need to be actively seeking employment, you need to listen to our sermons, you can't use if you accept the housing, you can only sleep here for three nights then we need the bed for someone else.

If SF built some new high-rises and offered every homeless person a condo free of charge that they will personally own after some amount of occupancy you'd pretty much solve homelessness and put a significant dent in mental health issues overnight.

That's over a pint of Robitussun -- I couldn't imagine chugging that down. I am intrigued by your claim though.
In my defense, I did not say partial is currying, just that it is an alternative to a lambda in Python.

I agree with your points, and with Izkata that the more relevant nuance is not that Python cannot curry, but that it doesn't do currying as fluently as Haskell, which I think was GP's point about the article. The crux of the article seems to have very little support for the argument of the title that lambdas shouldn't be in Python, but instead only seeks to make clear that "we do not use lambda with the intention of using lambda calculus." It's strongest contribution is to suggest that inline anonymous functions would be a helpful addition to the addition for Python to be able to do lambda calculus.
