U.S. immigration law doesn't apply to those outside the U.S. so there's no immigration issue with working for your own company while outside the U.S.
Well, this paper will be a rallying point for every RTO manager out there.

And Meta will end up using as a tool to promote metaverse interactions.
Most banks, and all the big ones I know about, have some level of on-line social media presence and dedicated social media managers (and wildly varying levels of competence with social media). As they say, 'that's where the customers are'.

The financial I work for has official channels on most platforms and dedicated teams who do basically advertising and customer support type stuff via social media channels. Complain about something on @OfficalBankChannel, and someone can see it and hopefully respond positively. This isn't just some random employees slacking off on Instagram or twitter or whatever; it's their job.

So if the bank perceives someone is threatening people over a social media channel, it can be treated the same as someone threatening over the phone to a call center or in a branch location. And there can be consequences.
When it comes to avoiding forks, the question is why do egrep, fgrep have to be shell scripts rather than interpret the invocation name (argv[0]) for switching behavior. Also, I find the original POSIX spec to lump everything into a single grep binary questionable since egrep, fgrep developed as extension and restriction, resp. of grep under a classic regexp discourse and it isn't clear at all that automaton construction for powerful egrep support has to live in the same binary as fgrep which isn't using automaton construction at all.
I hate to ask a stupid question, but I'm new to administering a Postgres database.

Do admins usually upgrade their DBs with each major release? I'm guessing it's highly contextual and depends on how easy it is to do so, but I've heard about places that never upgrade until it's a huge problem for them to do so (in order to avoid an even worse problem.)
You get texts/emails on watch so you can glance at your watch and read it without pulling out your phone.

You don’t listen through your watch but use it as a more convenient interface to change a song/playlist.

The test use case is while you are driving because you can talk to it and it will type out what you’re saying well. Rather than pulling out your phone and trying to text back.

It also monitors vitals and steps. It is also handy when I forget my phone in the car and I need to text or make a quick call.

I could go on but I’m done typing.
The crazy part is that they dropped reserve requirements to zero for banks at the beginning of the pandemic, and for all the hiking of rates the reserve requirements are still at zero. They slammed on the brakes while the other foot is still flooring the gas pedal.
I know that my comment is a trivial observation, but an automated moderation system capable of detecting sympathy sounds like science fiction. Frankly it seems like humans struggle at it.
Big tech uses static analyzers a lot. See for example, these projects:

- https://github.com/google/error-prone

It’s not just this. It’s the “long tail of this”. That particular example might not sound too appealing, but when you scroll through the livestreams, you’ll find hundreds of other niche things.

I think you're not grasping the point that the cost of using 'alias' or updating scripts, though not huge, is paid by every single user, and often over and over again, every time they switch to using a different system. Against this cost for every user, one weighs the benefits of this change - which are zero. Indeed, the benefits are negative, since the maintainers must surely be wasting more time debating the change than they will ever save from it.

Of course, scripts are dependent on their environment. That's why changing the environment for no reason is such a bad idea. Nobody manages their shell scripts to account for the possibility that 'true' might cease to exist some day...

I wonder why all the comments pointing this out are getting flagged. I don’t think it’s anything malicious, maybe an edge case in HN’s moderation system.

Anyway, I agree, excellent code, but I worry about this guy. His website(s) have a lot of worrying content - pro-pedophilia, misogynistic, racist, transphobic.
Most of what it needs is attention.
I was a math and physics major too. What made it come alive for me was not just learning about experiments, but actually working in the lab.
That depends. For 5G infra? There really isn't much competition. The three makers are Huawei, Cisco and Ericsson. And Huawei is cheaper and better than the others. So if you remove them you have a duopoly. And you have the exact situation I described above: the US get's crapy, more expensive kit and the rest of the world takes a leap forwards...
The problem of course is that the review process is an enormous problem and there just aren't that many people in charge of reviewing them. I think a lot of people who are tuned into grifting the government saw it as a huge opportunity.
That calculate one is a whole genre on to itself: TikToks where there's a goal the streamer is working towards to do something, but they do it so slowly that it never happens. People keep donating to see the thing happen, the streamer doesn't want the thing to happen because then the donations stop, so they only pretend like they're going to do the thing.

Like that damned guy stacking bolts in a giant column.
Sure you can be prescriptive and deny the real world english speakers using a word and being understood. That's why I made the literally reference. Words change and gain meanings over time. This use is very common. To call it a misuse seems too far to me.

The context of uses is almost always entirely disjoint as well. Compare:

Covid cases are growing exponentially, we need to do something. (covid spreads in proportion to number of infected)

Twitter is growing exponentially, I must invest! (network effects are causing something to accelerate, but obviously users don't create new users, nor do tweets create tweets)

My love for you grows exponentially day by day, let's get married! (basic intensifier)

I would guess these sentences are in descending order of acceptability for you.
yeah, but then he talks, and immediately undoes all the good that was just said. watching his interviews are net zero at best.
TIL that obsidian has vim mode... I love it even more now.
TikTok is notoriously inconsistent in the application of its TOS. One person I follow was set up as a partner (which includes things like bank accounts and drivers licenses), yet their account was banned for the personality being under 13 (she's 31). The remedy? Send a picture of the drivers license TIkTok already has associated with the account to prove her age.
I don't know, only people who have been moving around the firms in last 6-12 months are the ones who only care about total compensation and nothing else. Talent pool has opened up, but is it "GREAT TALENT" pool, I doubt it.

China's covid response was extremely damaging to China, but thanks to the US and their allies response to Russia, China has received plenty of intermediary free money to add to their economy. Cheaper energy, and arbitration returns from Russian goods to western economies for a premium. Ultimately China will find a way to cope without the products from the west. Europe however cannot cope without the cheap goods from China and the cheap energy from Russia.

India is by the way the only major economy that is projected to grow over 6% next year. That's largely due to profiting off of resell of Russian goods.

The problem is that people conflate their own moral standing with actual factual realities and unfortunately it will cost _us_ dearly.
> Or they could have recalled faulty devices, you know. To fix them and provide the experience they promised originally.

It’s not faulty devices, and a quick google search will show you that cell phone batteries have a lifespan of 2-3 years in average.
(not op) Logseq is open source and really great in the way it connects notes and highlights pdfs, but the sync part is too “asynchronous”. It works well if you use a single device, but as long as you add something else you have to manually reindex and refresh a lot.

Obsidian is less opinionated on the txt file format and folders too, so I consider it more future-proof.

Welp. Thank you for adding to my collection.

It’s so interesting that tiktok managed to revitalize this… genre.

I totally agree. If we (for the sake of argument) were to assume that TikTok allowed this, obviously there's nobody offering these people any better alternatives. So why should TikTok be demonized? The people who critizise TikTok are free to build a better and cheaper platform themselves.
There's also multiple streams where the streamer has a mouse click counter with a [+] and a [-] button. They are clicking to get to some outrageous number like 100000000 and every time you give them money they take 10, 100 or 1000 clicks away or they destroy their mouse and they are begging you to let them finish clicking. This goes on for multiple days.

Can't speak about Meta, but my team at AWS does incentivize more complex longer-term projects. Improving metrics and getting short-term wins is pretty good if you want to get the L4 (entry) to L5 promotion, but you will most likely not make senior SDE without having some more complex projects that shows you know how to collaborate with other teams and juggle requirements.

That person would make L5 at AWS easily, but L6 will be harder without a somewhat lenient manager/reviewer.
But usefully for only one.
To me, the most interesting thing out of the list is that I've only seen two categories from the list: people sleeping and the assembly line workers (covering a wide range of industries).

Other kinds of livestreams that seem to be persistent categories:

- people in classrooms, libraries or other social settings, livestreaming themselves

- insides of mosques, presumably with the camera hidden somewhere

- space station footage with random background music. Sometimes footage from space walks, mostly Russian ones

I think it goes to show how wildly different people's TikTok experiences can be, depending on what the algorithm decides and what TikTok decides to push in your region.
Airdrop only works between Apple devices that are close together, while Taildrop works on many OSes over the Internet.
You could have a video conference while outside in nature. Or you could be traveling to a different country. Most book authors work "remote" which is creative.
I make simple uses of regexes many times a day, but complex uses only a few times a year. So I know the simple stuff, but have to look at the man page for complex stuff. That seems like the right level of mental burden for a tool.

I would suggest that if you're struggling with complex regexes, they might not be the right tool for the job and you should write a custom parser instead.
Last I checked, there were studies like https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00221... that touted the importance of (solitary) individual time for idea generation. And the virtual communication enhanced idea selection. So the only lesson I get from this is that continuous virtual communication is overdoing it, but that a mix of virtual and alone time is probably better than all the stupid in-person meetings.
Chromium is open source. Sorry, let me be more clear, no closed-source company of any significance is going to use LGPL.
When I first started I worked pretty much for free at an IT company. (I got unemployment benefit but that's it.)

This was a real job and went on my CV as a real job (C programmer), that was enough to kick off my career.

Perhaps there are places to look for these kind of roles? I'm not sure.
It means we're experiencing a period of uniquely high constraints. There are less goods available now than there used to be, because the normal levels of supply are constrained by pandemic and war.
Right. So:

- these people had their children murdered.

- jurors have now spent weeks hearing more direct evidence than any of us

- even Alex Jones admitted multiple times that he is a liar, and spreads these lies for money

- the jurors determined that 1) there was harm and 2) the COMPENSATORY damages [0] for only part of the victims is $965 million

- the police are neither motivated, capable, nor often successful at gathering enough evidence to prosecute anonymous telephone or public threats made by cowards who try to make threats anonymously.

YET, with all those facts, you think it is appropriate to FURTHER question the integrity of the victims.

You make very clear that you have no idea what you are talking about, and are likely one of the idiots who laps up the lies from the likes of the defendant.

Rethink your life, and at least stop posting idiocy dressed up as "oh, just asking questions". You are only displaying your inability to think or even to get a clue, not persuading anyone.

Yikes.

[0] compensatory damages are damages to compensate for the harm itself, as opposed to punitive damages, which have not yet been determined in this trial.
We were discussing the warning printed by fgrep and egrep, not their removal. I was suggesting that you put a version of fgrep/egrep in your path which does not show the warning.
Nothing really, I was just kind of curious what it would look like when she turned it on with a ton of detergent.

Turns out it bubbles a bit, the cycle continues as normal. Very mild entertainment.
I’ve always thought the “better accessibility” relates to getting meaningful outputs from your coding.

There’s typically a complex set of arcane incantations necessary to get visuals, much less interactive ones…Processing really elevates an API for visual/interactive applications of coding, so things work out of the box.

We have some critical systems code in C that I'm going to try to run static analysis on for our Hack Week. There are probably 100 engineers at my company and not much interest in anything beyond Google SRE and language specific release updates. We use Bash, Php, Python, Ruby, Node, C, Go, and Rust.

There’s no evidence that copyright leads to decreased creative output. We do however have a thriving fashion industry built on no protection of ideas. From what I can see, copyright is just rent seeking and imposing artificial limitations on ideas.

Yeah, anyone who thinks wealthy people have any pull in the united states government and use it to make themselves more wealthy must be some crazy alt right conspiracy theorist. Probably a white nationalist too. We all know everyone in the government is just dumb and all the trillions of dollars they waste is just because they make mistakes in excel and stuff.
Prepare your CV, spam it out to LinkedIn, CV library, totaljobs.com, etc. Then connect with as many recruiters as you can find on LI, add yourself to the groups, etc.

Then look (using, again e.g. LI) for job openings, remote only that suit the kind of work you want to do. Apply for those jobs.

You'll be unsuccessful in a high % but you might bag some interviews which will give you an idea of what demand is like and what £/$ you should be aiming for.

Be honest about your background, if you don't have much development/etc. experience it will show and technical positions generally (but don't always) require a technical test. This might mean accepting a junior or entry-level position.

A lot of Python teams use a linter that can catch errors like "variable used before defined" as well as matters of code style, and increasingly a static type checker in addition to that (which also does its own set of such checks).
1. Do you have some estimate about the time it takes to go from a TN Visa (Mexican Citizen) to obtain a green card?

2. If, for some reason (layoffs, company dissapears, etc.) the whole green card process is not finished, then it means that i will not be able to get a new TN visa correct?

> But when the BBC used the in-app system to report 30 accounts featuring children begging, TikTok said there had been no violation of its policies in any of the cases.

Why the headline is suggesting otherwise.
As a general rule, the U.S. immigration options for founders are the same as the U.S. immigration options for non-founders. The question is what nonimmigrant/temporary work visa would a founder qualify for and this would depend on a variety of factors. The work visas that we typically look at for founders are the O-1, L-1, E-1 and E-2, and H-1B unless the founder is a citizen of a country with its own visa (Australia, Canada, Chile, Mexico, and Singapore).
There's something horribly buggy about VMFXX going on (Money Market fund).

Looks like a good website, but I'd like VMFXX to represent how "money markets" would have done over these timelines!

VUSXX (Vanguard's "other" money market fund) is closer to what I expected, but seems to be missing all the dividends/interest rates entirely.

For money market funds, it could be that daily-dividends are something that your code wasn't expecting and is bugging out on?
It appears that we are heading into a recession as we speak.

What are law makers doing right now to prepare for the possible effects of this recession? What are we doing to predict which parts of the financial system will collapse? What are we doing to prepare if CO-VID mutates into a deadly strain? We've known for 30 years that the climate will change, have we done anything to prepare for the consequences of that?

Why must we always need to react and pass TARP or PPP within a week time-frame or the entire economy crumbles?
If it's useful, here [1] is a tool for auditing the SSH config of a server from the internet and suggesting hardening options for both server and client. And here [2] is a tool for configuring TLS on various web servers, load balancers, mail servers and databases. One could also clone testssl.sh [3] to audit their TLS daemons on IP's not open to the internet. Depends on openssl and bash

If hardening SSH it may be safest to first harden the SSH client and ensure one can still connect. Then harden the ssh daemon of a local machine using the same version of openssh used on ones servers to minimize the risk of locking one out of their own machine and having to use a rescue console or ILO. This may be counter-intuitive but going through the hardening process significantly speeds up SSH handshake time which may be most useful to those using Ansible.

> I think I get what you're going for here -- you're trying to simulate a coin flip? -- but what you've actually done is made successive draws from a uniform random number generator. The software is designed to return numbers that fall along the interval [0,1) with equal probability. Thresholding the numbers and dividing their counts is not a meaningful transformation;

This is wrong. That is a very meaningful transformation. It is the standard way (https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/240338) to turn a uniform distribution into a Bernoulli distribution.

Getting a single value with Bernoulli distribution is called a Bernoulli trial (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_trial). Repeating this gives you a Binomial distribution (see your own wikipedia link).

Long story short: GPs code is a perfectly valid way of sampling the Bernoulli distribution. It is inefficient because it needs so many random values, but it mimics the actual process happening in real life making it easier to understand than generating a Binomial sample from the Binomial distribution's CDF.

housing is one factor in tracking the value of a currency.
Assume we freeze the prices of consumer goods, cost of housing still figures into your budget and cost of living.

>It would certainly reduce asset availability, but— to use your example —there's an absurd surplus of housing nationwide.

I cant relate to this idea of an absurd housing surplus. It simply doesn't match m understanding of reality. Housing prices have gone through the roof almost everywhere people want to live.
