Facing Lots of Trouble in Learning after college
I'm facing few problems currently. I was out from studying for maybe 3 weeks. Now, I can no more write fluently with ball pen. Handwriting(not good or bad, just writing with hand) is very important part of my learning.

I've 0 idea what I should study for job.

For development, I'd do projects and have no issues at all. But problem in doing only development all day was that whenever some confusions came, I'd WASTE(Not spend) whole day because learning curve there was too steep for me.

I have to learn DSA, system design etc, but I'm not sure what topics should I learn here? How do I know about that?

I've 0 idea what exercises should I be doing? When I was in college, it was easy for me. I studied in an Indian college, and we'd be given previous year question papers. Thus, I'd practice exercises from previous year question papers and learn through it. It was great way of learning in limited time.

I'm facing only failures when I'm trying to learn now(Probably due to break). It's annoying asf. The above mentioned reasons have a role in this as well.

I've no pressure of upcoming exams. It's causing huge lack of drive and sense of urgency to finish stuffs. I can predict myself being very divergent in learning and not finishing anything on time in the future.

I've to learn all day at home as well. I'm trying to find libraries, but there are no libraries here which allow me to take my laptop, book and copy inside.

I'm trying to find study spaces to rent as well. But it's cheaper to rent a room here than to rent study space.

Neither there are good quality educational institutions to learn programming and computer science here. (Not college, but training centres is I'm talking about).

I'm in really fussed up situation, and I really need guidance to move forward.
A subtlety to point out about <wbr> when comparing it to its textual alternative ZWSP (U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE): if someone copies the text (as text—if it’s copied as formatted HTML, anything could happen), ZWSP will remain, whereas <wbr> will disappear. You could exclude the ZWSP with something like `user-select: none`. So really, <wbr> is kinda like <word-break-opportunity style="user-select:none">&#x200b;</word-break-opportunity>. My experience is that <wbr> is almost always what you want rather than ZWSP.

There are similar but more obscure considerations with the difference between <br> and a textual carriage return preserved by `white-space: pre`. Take the document data:text/html,<pre>a%0Ab<br>c</pre> (containing one carriage return and one manual line break), and document.body.textContent is "a\nbc" (the <br> disappears), while document.body.innerText is "a\nb\nc" (<br> becomes \n). As for removing the line breaks from what goes on the clipboard (which is desirable if you’re choosing visually-optimal break points manually), well, that’s unreliable. I’ve only ever tried it on Firefox, but tricks like `user-select: none` on a line break of either kind don’t work, netting you two line breaks for some reason; wrapping each line in something like <span style="display:block"> can work.
I can't help but feel that the world would have been a better place if intelligence had arisen among felines rather than primates.
Ads that are pre-rendered by the first-party origin, embedded in the page, cannot be blocked by ad blockers, unless the ad blocker keeps a giant blacklist of rendered advertising content. I don’t know about you but I’ve been starting to see more of this kind of content. Ad blockers are a separate issue from bot traffic.

But more importantly, while your assumption is probably true today, it won’t be soon. On-by-default network privacy enhancement is coming, and already here in places. You can easily have these services in place by accident, today, without knowing the first thing about them or why you might want them.

I haven't messed around with wasm but I like postgres a lot. Just curious what are some use cases for this? Also not a supabase user even tho it looks cool.

In my case, I use postgres along with postGIS for some of my services. Could this allow me to have some parity where the client can have a 1:1 table but populated and kept up-to-date with their own data to cut down on making network requests?

Yes and no. My wife is a professor. In the experience of her colleagues, students who want slack/email feedback don't actually have the same definition of "asynchronous" that professors (or you) do. The number of emails received at 11pm regarding an assignment due as 12am is frankly outrageous. There is an expectation of extremely high availability when it comes to these kinds of interactions.

So many professors create a blanket "come to my office hours" approach rather than trying to train students to understand that it might take them 24 hours (or longer - on weekends) to respond to an email.
Is it because in a PC you can have other programs running in parallel that can look into/modify the memory bits of a running game and in the process “hack” it? But in a closed system like a game console you can’t just run your own unapproved software, which drastically reduces the number of ways a game can be “hacked”.
> This is the COST.

So far the most of the "COST" you're talking about has been covered by EU oil exports. Your "COST" is a missed opportunity. Not great, not terrible.

> whereas they likely will not be willing to pay

"Likely". That's reassuring.

> I don't know why you insist on playing dumb.

Conveniently your theory is that Russia costs are just on the line of winning in Ukraine, but not pushing forward. Same theory has been applied to every single Russia expansion, and it hasn't worked yet. But this time it's going to work, right?

You presented absolutely no evidence that supports your theory, and yet you act incredibly condescending. It's just "trust me guys, this time the costs are high enough for Russia to stop. But only after they conquer Ukraine". Who's playing dumb here?

At this point there's plenty of evidence that Russia actions are not rational, they are ideological.
> Furthermore, there are legal liabilities involved with the wifi spectrum.

OpenWRT is already ‘exposed’ (not really) to this risk, because as soon as you flip the radio to ‘on’, it’s just set to the default, not your specific region.

> The improvements in usability are marginal and the potential costs to OpenWRT are considerable.

And here we have it, the exact attitude the OP was talking about. Open source needs to become more considerate of its users.
It's ridiculous because papers formatting restricts scientists from being able to share the content that makes the work reproducible. "Publish or perish," the model that causes scientists to push unrealistically high publishing output in order to gain funding, forces scientists to push theoretically intriguing work that is not reproducible... And ultimately the public suffers. (Most foundational R&D is publicly funded.) Fun fact, my friend is a PhD chemist - says if you try to reproduce any reaction from a bunch of Chinese authors, almost 100% guarantee that it will fail. China's publish or perish model is far worse than the US or EU. It's just sad.
Trump can start his own platform. He did. People are free to join it.

It's a joke to think getting 'deplatformed' in China means you can keep trying. Test the CCP and you and your family might get a visit.

Not to distract from the major point but this is incorrect:

> Also at the time Facebook considered a view when the video was visible on the feed for a second

It was always 3s. That being said, if any of the video was in the viewport, it counted, which was nonsense.
> It doesn't make any sense to say that the service the city provides is not part of the economy.

Your city doesn't issue currency though, so it's still different. Neither do corporations.

> they spend every penny they take in, because it makes no sense for them to do otherwise unless they are trying to intentionally reduce the amount of money circulating for some reason

I am specifically talking about doing that. The article claimed that the stimulus money would never come out of the economy. I suggested it can. I think we're in agreement.

Perhaps we're just disagreeing on a finer detail: you say taxing alone does not remove money from the economy - the government needs to then not spend it again. Which I think is a fair way of looking at it but implies some things I'm not sure are definitely right. It's not like there is a vault with gold in it.

I agree that the various "red pill" subcultures have done a terrific job of sucking the air out of the room RE conversations about men's dating experience. It's a hard conversation to have with any amount of nuance in 2022.

And men also desire more than just a beautiful woman. But these are the single best indicators, evolutionarily speaking.

Wealth historically indicates hard work or power, which in turn indicate masculine traits.

Beauty historically indicates good health (childbearing) and self-care, which in turn indicate feminine traits.

These indicators can definitely be gamed, but they define the game for a reason.

The industry whitewashing language is "creating abuse-resistant/deterrant formulations". Sounds great on paper, but the mechanism is generally some variant of "if you do abusive behavior with this you'll die or suffer some other health threatening complication.

In addition to Python, Amyris has codebases in F#, R and PHP (phasing out, but still have some important legacy code). Experience with full-stack web application development, including coding skills in Javascript, CSS and HTML. Relational database design and coding experience. We use PostgreSQL and SQL Server, though we also treat plasmids and chromosomes as datastores. Experience developing software in a Unix environment. Dev tools are chosen at the developer’s discretion, but most of the software development and all production deployment is on Linux (Ubuntu). Fluent Linux command-line skills. Interest and ability to communicate with scientists Excellent written and verbal communication skills

At Amyris, we believe that diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) is essential to our core values. We embrace and encourage an equity-minded work culture, knowing that it is the driving force of innovation that positively impacts our employees, consumers, and communities. And for Amyris, a sense of belonging is what drives our mission forward and is the foundation of everything we do, ensuring a healthier, more sustainable future for us all. Make Good, No Compromise.

> Two friends share drugs. One overdoses and dies. The other survives. Is that murder? Amid the deadliest drug crisis in history, America is often answering "yes" to that question. Prosecutors are increasingly treating overdose deaths as homicides, locking up drug dealers who sell fentanyl to people living with addiction — people who are often addicted themselves. Some see justice and accountability in convictions under so-called "death resulting" laws. Some see a new and widening front in America's failed War on Drugs. In Death Resulting, we hone in on one of these homicide cases and meet a young man facing a 20-year mandatory minimum sentence in federal prison for his friend's death. Along the way we examine the forces that shape that case — from a cycle of generational trauma and addiction to the racist origins and current impacts of these prosecutions. So... an accident — or a homicide? Our answer could shape how we address the deadliest overdose crisis in American history

It's definitely a problem in the US. When setting up an account with treasury.gov there's a good chance you'll have to verify your identity, and the only way to do that is to go to a bank that you do business with that has a "Medallion Guarantee." I wish we could get to the point of having government issued smart cards for verifying identity. I would be elated if my US passport also functioned as a smart card.
This didn't happen overnight, it's a slippery slope over the last few decades.

FWIW I've come across a ton of fake Chinese accounts (in the appearance of the woman in the photos). It got to the point that I just didnt swipe on women who appeared Chinese. like 19/20 times they'd just try and get me off app to WhatsApp in the first few messages, and then the thread would go dead.

I can't help but think it's a form of social engineering where they're creating a drag net of data like "This phone number is on Hinge, and responds to warranty texts, and their IG suggests they've lived in <places>" ... I'm not sure to what end but I'm wary.

Precisely. There is a (now outdated) model called Truine Brain model which proposes three layers of intelligence: the cortex which is responsible for higher thinking/planning/executive functions, the limbic system responsible for 4Fs/emotions, and the basal gangalia/brainstem responsible for basic functions like movement, homeostasis and etc. It's uncanny how this matches closely with the Software/OS/BIOS analogy.
Note that this really depends. A quick growing tree wouldn't have lasted 200 years, but there are tree species in which individuals have been around for longer than recorded human history. I don't think any of them occur in the right part of the world, but if they did it'd be easily possible there's a tree which was once pissed on by a mammoth (~4000 years ago), and yet is still alive now.

England has some trees that are definitely hundreds and probably a couple of thousands years old. And England isn't exactly the ideal place to be a tree, it's small, heavily populated and the people who live on it cut a lot of trees down either for firewood or to build things. I'd be surprised if Canada lacks 2000 year old trees.
Trip down memory lane: Internet Explorer didn’t quite interpret the standard correctly and sent the coordinates as floating point numbers. If you had this input[type=image] on a ASP.NET WebForms page, this then caused ASP.NET WebForms to crash, as it tried to interpret the postback arguments of the X/Y coordinates as integers. I think this was later fixed by patching Internet Explorer.
What do you think is a better trait, and how do you signal it over the Internet?
Chrome supports a USB api that could potentially work for that, https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/usb/

sadly though it's chrome only, not a standard of any kind (no other browsers support it that I know of). ESPHome can use it to program microcontrollers (along with the serial port support).
