I'm guessing this was a typo, but if you look at how unbounded the time for psychotherapy to work, I would not be surprised if it did actually end up being the most expensive.
Use a < symbol instead of "less than", or change "a year after recovery" to "after a year" or something. The hospitalized part is pretty essential though.
That's reasonable, and rational, but at the same time I don't want to disrupt my team by bringing in someone who might decide they don't like the job after six months and who isn't able to ask the questions they need answers to during the hiring process to find that out. Consequently I might miss out on some good engineers by rejecting people with a series of short jobs on their resume and I accept that's a downside for me. The upside is better though.

I don't care if the candidate is having a hard time finding their ideal job. I care about my team.
Why shouldn't it? Beyond hardware failures there is no good reason for servers not to last for arbitrarily long periods of time.

It ran on one of my laptops for many years without any problems.

One strange thing: that laptop seemed to have a rare chipset and Vista was the only OS that came with the correct drivers for power management. I spent several weeks in vain trying to persuade other operating systems (tried old and new versions of Windows and Linux, various drivers and configuration hacks) not to turn the thing into a heater even at 0% CPU load.

Pretty sad. The hardware is still fully functional.

"Less than 20% of hospitalised COVID-19 patients symptom free after a year"

should work; it's easy to infer that "after a year" refers to their hospitalisation anyway. If that is still too long: "Less than 20% hospitalised COVID patients symptom free after a year"
> It just means places shared by a local community wherein there are material social connections: aka 'Bowling Club', 'Ladies Auxiliary of the local veterans association', the 'Church', the 'greasy diner'.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Those groups are all trying to figure out how to attract people. Such groups are found all over the place, with a small group of people desperately trying to make something of them, but are all struggling to establish a community.

The outcome I see over and over again is that the dedicated few end up taking the club/organization/group on as a job and plan one or two events each year that brings out the larger community. And it works for one night only, but then people go back to living their lives and the dedicated few get back to work to make it happen again next year.

The problem is that these people don't really want a job. The hard work is just the only avenue they see to support their dream of building the community they want to exist in. But it's a struggle because there is so much competition for one's time.

I posit that there are too many third spaces that have spread too thin and as they become thin it becomes less likely that anyone else wants to become a member of their community. Nobody wants to sit alone. If the bowling club, ladies auxiliary, church, etc. came together there would be a better chance of a community starting to build, but that would mean letting go of competing interests and in a world that has become accustomed to never ending choice that is a hard pill to swallow.
Is this software to emulate fido2 without a hardware key, or is it software to allow non Web clients to access fido2 devices, or something else ?

I already use fido2 on Linux with a hardware key for a while now. So I'm finding this a bit confusing.
Probably a large part is due to the increased frequency of cars inside broadly the same volume of road space. Assuming that you have the same number of bugs per m^3 and the same number of bugs entering per m^3 per minute as before, then bugs splattered per car will change in inverse proportion to cars per minute.
Regular windows users do not visit $HOME often either. They work mostly in Desktop, Documents and Downloads. They can’t even “go up” from these anymore for more than a decade. None of the non-tech users I know would even understand me if I told them to look at their homedir. So yeah, it’s fine regardless.

Btw, many native, no-linux windows apps, including Microsoft ones love to create their bs folders like “My Games”, “Microsoft Visual Studio (c)(tm) <yearname> Pile of Whatever” or “Android Projects” right in ~/Documents. This “way” is unenforceable even in OS’es own company.
I did some googling to find a comparison of old and new cars in wind tunnels without much luck but this articles cover is fairly good[0].

> Not sure what happened to them after that but yeah!

One thing I did find is that for aerodynamic purposes the one place cars want turbulence is right behind them in their wake to disrupt a vacuum.

So I expect those bugs get smashed into the ground or even sucked into the radiator of any close behind cars as that air seems quite stagnant right behind a car.

I second this. Show and don't tell.
If this thread is any indication, yes. GitHub only gets ever more toxic with this gamified social media stuff.
That's easy. Outsourcing companies don't care too much, as they lease your body to the highest bidder and don't care too much about the results.

Any other company will prefer someone, who will stay longer, because for 3 months or more (more complex product they have, longer time), you're more cost, than asset, because you don't know the product and need some level of babysitting.
I guess you didn’t read the article to find the reason
Wait, am I missing something? This project was last updated 8 years ago and only implements core data structures of git. Branching, checking out, merging etc is not supported…
It's virtual evolution at work, i.e. spam evolution. It's the Internet Gold Rush (i.e. "make money fast" at work), which we have watched getting "more professional" in the last ten to twenty years. And because those companies which supply resources (ebook platforms, search engines, but also hardware for crypto mining like graphics cards etc) to those "virtual miners" profit from what's going on, we won't see that fixed in the upcoming years.

Generating books instead of spam emails looks more professional so gullible people, who meanwhile (hopefully) did learn that the Nigerian prince isn't a prince, will buy such books (it's written in a book, and book writing is real work you know, so it must be true) to learn about all those fancy new concepts they hear about.

It's actually not that different from all these ads you see, especially if you actually watch recent youtube ads. Due to the current "energy crisis" and the upcoming winter, I've seen videos advertising magical electric heaters, which will "recycle" 85% of the energy used for heating and thus will save you lots of money. It's simple physics that warm air coming out at the front of such a device will be sucked in at its back again, but there's nothing to "recycle" here, to somehow save energy.

BTW, anybody interested in my upcoming book on quantum heating? Quantum heating will even earn you money, because it will generate certain energy efficient by-products which you can sell at your favourite online retailer ;-)
We knew it was coming once "Rooter: A Methodology for the Typical Unification of Access Points and Redundancy" was published back in 2005 (!!!) as a proof that peer review in certain "scientific" conferences and journals does not really exist. This article is a machine-generated nonsense generated by SCIgen. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCIgen for more details.

Edit: Russian wikipedia article on that article contains references to even earlier, pre-computer, cases, as early as 1965, when meaningless texts or talks got published in scientific journals or conference proceedings. See https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Корчеватель_(статья) and also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scholarly_publishing_s...
Or... you know, we go with the data.

The data shows improvement until 2019 and then a decline in 2020/2021 coinciding with COVID, lockdowns and inability to attend schools physically.

The global pandemic seems like a much better explanation to the data the article is showing.
Yep, that seems like the sales pitch: 5% more profit, plus absolve yourself from any potential guilt caused by your actions!

You aren't contributing to an affordability crisis -- you're simply keeping up with market changes. You aren't choosing to nickel and dime people for all they're worth -- you're taking the recommendation of a sophisticated algorithm. You aren't enriching yourself at the expense of those less fortunate -- you're just getting the most out of your investment.

I'm being a little cynical here, but then owning rental property has been a cynic's game since time immemorial.
I have found at 43 that I have ADHD and that there is no cure. I have left the employment world a few years ago in favor of contracting, but it’s still very hard to read that I have to change.

There is no changing my condition, the only thing I can do is travel from rejection to rejection until I find a niche where my skills outweigh my handicap, or I collect an addiction that kills me.
Aeroperú Flight 603: "Flying over water, at night, with no visual references, the pilots were unaware of their true altitude, and struggled to control and navigate the aircraft. The investigation determined that the air data computers were unable to show correct airspeed and altitude on cockpit displays because a maintenance worker had failed to remove tape covering the pitot-static system ports on the aircraft exterior"

I wasn't thinking of the price but the comfort. You wouldn't have a kitchen so would have to eat out all of the time. I like eating out every now and then but not for more than a few days in a row. Certainly not for a month.
I'm not discarding the study or the many anecdotes I heard, but I'm still chuckling because as someone who loves gamification and achievements in game, I was always completely ignoring this on Github. Which would be more apt if I was a 9-to-5 programmer but I only ever had one job that primarily used Github (after they introduced this stuff, I'm pretty sure except that graph there was nothing pre 2013), but the majority of my activity is just fun projects and open source work.

This article doesn't address the fact that if you use an MDM profile, you can actually configure it to require all traffic must go over the VPN. But that is known to only work with MDM profiles.
The clear divide in hiring preferences will be if it's owner operated or manager operated. Owner (like I suspect, you) will have clear goals, expectations, and fast ramp-up for the position. Manager wants cog_A in engine_B - predictable, loyal (to the hiring manager & their chain), good at office politics.

The argument can also be that it actually benefits them by making other people richer and therefore, increasing the amount of their own customers (and the amount of money those customers are willing to spend).

insert a random comment about how "market economy is not a zero-sum game"
Number 6 was really surprising:

SELECT max(salary), first_name, last_name FROM employee;

This returns one row! AFAIK all other databases would return one row per record in the table where first_name, last_name would be from the row while max(salary) would be the value from the row with max salary. Is this SQL ANSI compatible?
This is me. I signed up for github in 2010 and have zero activity.
Textual will always be open source. There will be a proprietary web service which is distinct from the library to build TUIs. Even if that fails, or gets bought out by evil-corp, you can still build and distribute TUI apps.

Although the author shows the covers of 11 books, only one of them - "NFT for Beginners" - is full of GPT-3-looking nonsense.

The "NFTs for Dummies" book is presumably not nonsense, or at least no more so than the subject matter demands.

Inventor of PDF, Adobe engineer Alan McLachlan dies at 58
This reads like something a retired professor of physics used to write: "how differential calculus solves the need for talking therapy". Ie., a slightly cooky misapplication of the tools of physics to some problem more complex than the author realises.

I think we're in an age of pseudoscience where rather than wear lab coats, pseudoscientists "wear statistics" in a self-deluding attempt to ape science.

However, I think this paper falls closer on the "cooky speculation" side. It does, nevertheless, participate in the culture of pseudoscience around these issues.

It would be great if the paper owned up to its radical speculative nature, and didnt brush aside it's lack of parameterisation on time (which is pretty fatal to taking this seriously). Then it would be a pretty good model for what "radical considered speculation" looks like which we could contrast with the genuine pseudoscience of many papers in this area.
Gonna get myself in trouble, but boy I don't really want to debate or collaborate with folks that want to argue this point. Or use things they're working on. Defense in depth, obscurity is not. It's not even interesting to consider beyond dismissing.
There is an aspect of ADHD like that, the impossibility to focus on tasks that have not been deemed essential by the brain of the worker.
Your dropped the "after recovery". Which I think is the central point of the article. That even when we consider people to have recovered, the majority still has symptoms.
There is probably truth in that. It's difficult to say as to the magnitude of the effect however.
It does both. Black border alone marks the default button in the dialog (unless another button is focused), black border + dotted outline marks focus.

I double checked in a VM running Windows 98 earlier today. I suspect some of these 9x recreations are based solely on screenshots, in which details like active and focus states are not obvious.

Encapsulation in Functional Programming

It's really dumb, but that's not on the browsers that implement it, but on the websites that use it.

As you pointed out, content will still be ripped so, once again, this only serves to inconvenience the users. But browsers won't force you to use netflix & al. so it's up to the user to not use those sites.

If I'm gonna shout at firefox, the fact that they aren't first implementing CSS features that the internet has been waiting for forever is probably a better reason.
that sounds like very much the way I'd like to go.

Shout out, never seen a +13 flagged into oblivion, I'll take that as a compliment.
Starting a title with a "<" sign seems pretty confusing to me.

And dropping the "after recovery" goes astray from the central point of the article. That we are mistaken when we think that people have recovered.

From the piece:

> However, fewer than half of students at each grade had teachers who were quite or extremely confident in their ability to address learning gaps that may have occurred due to pandemic-related school closures.

So _hopefully_ but I'm not sure that _most likely_.

TAM?
Yes. It turns out that there’s a whole lot of aspects of their scheme that would turn off any informed rational person. But there’s enough people who fail that test to keep a constant flow of new customers buying in to their scheme.

The Imperative Betrayal
The purpose is not really clear from abstract:

This document specifies a new URI scheme called http+srv which uses a DNS SRV lookup to locate a HTTP server. The http+srv scheme operates in the same way as an http scheme but instead of the normal DNS A record lookup that a http scheme would use, it uses an DNS SRV lookup. This memo also defines a https+srv scheme that operates in the same was a an https URI but uses DNS SRV lookups.

Schematics can be reverse-engineered in a few days, I suspect; there's no point to hide it.

The interesting part is the choice of components, the rationale behind that choice, and the software support.

I suppose that Google makes available the Android OS with support for all the new capabilities as they emerge (OLED, NFC, fingerprint scanners, etc) which OEMs can leverage with their hardware and closed-source software (both apps and drivers).

The Pixel line is the Google's vision of the platform, with Google's control over hardware implementation and a commitment to support it (longer than many OEMs but not nearly as great as iPhones).
This take always rubs me the wrong way because it conveniently ignores the fact that letting 90% of humanity die is wrong and should be avoided given that 1% of humanity is more or less to blame for this mess.

SourceHut author here. Not sure what you're trying to say. The opposite is also true: using GitHub requires that your would-be contributors conform to the pull request workflow instead -- and many people prefer emails.

If anyone is skeptical about the email workflow, here's a write-up from another skeptic:

I really don't get why people munge very specific, detailed errors into something so generic as to be outright misleading.

WebGL is absolutely available in my browser. The issue, unlike what the site logs to console and does not tell the user (in this case), is:

> WebGL warning: readPixels: Format and type RGBA_INTEGER/UNSIGNED_BYTE incompatible with this RGBA8UI attachment. This framebuffer requires either RGBA_INTEGER/UNSIGNED_INT or getParameter(IMPLEMENTATION_COLOR_READ_FORMAT/_TYPE) RGBA_INTEGER/UNSIGNED_INT.

Which is gibberish to me, but in fact less confusing than the presented error.
Food itself isn't optional, but folks that aren't absolutely poor generally have choices in which foods they eat.

You can spend more on eggs so the chickens are being treated slightly better.
You can look for meat that isn't produced using confinement farming.
You can buy fair trade coffee.
You can check out how the local grocery store treats its employees, and choose the one with the best treatment. You can try something similar with food producers.
If you have a local butcher, you might consider buying there instead of a factory meat plant.
You can vote for folks that will look out for workers (the ones working the fields and with animals), both in your country and abroad.

Most of these aren't available for folks that are poor enough: You can't very well shop ethically if you are stuck getting food from a food bank, for example, and you might understandably be more worried about getting enough calories for yourself or your child.

What is a "new neurochemical environment" exactly? I've had many acid comedowns, and they have all been affected by how the high was - emotionally, mentally, and physically. What do you mean by "its something else"?

It's partly due to mowing alongside highways and medians. That is primarily motivated by keeping the number of small animals down, reducing fire risk, and other reasons, but fewer tall grasses means drastically fewer bugs. Also, pesticides and general global insect decline. This is not primarily due to aerodynamics.
> you in fact destroy composability in favor of either inheritance

I favour composition over inheritance, so I'm ok with that.

> Your components don't minimize outside dependencies when they share the same global stylesheet, by the way, they would for example not work in my website even though I am using Tailwind (if highly customized).

I think you just made the case for using vanilla Tailwind and restraining from customizations to cater to design extravaganza. The days of pixel perfectness are over, and designers can and should IMO get used to making compromises. Form follows function, and using vanilla TW can get you more "form" in the same amount of dev time.

Having said that, wouldn't you just have to merge the two Tailwind configs and generate a new CSS file? Apart from color naming clashes (which can't be avoided in any system) I don't see any issues there.
Lower density means longer delivery trips and fewer orders delivered in one trip. It was (and still is) a higher-hanging fruit than delivery in dense cities, maybe requiring deeper pockets than, say, GrubHub / Seamless had.

What a terrible proposal. First, the correct solution is IPv6 and not this hack. Second, why would you even start by suggesting that only some HTTP clients support this? To make my life more difficult because e.g. curl supports this but Chrome doesn’t do that debugging is harder? Would a browser that does support it hide the fact that I am connecting to a non-standard port so that when I do take the URL to a library that does not support this that it would fail with “Connection refused” for no discernible reason?

This is straight up awful.
