but don't have a reference how good it is. I just assume it's better than the CO2Meter RAD-0301, which costs 3x less, but it could be I'm just paying for the battery.

Anyone has good recommendations?
Before anything, make sure to root out any incentives for bad posture from your environment. Just like how tall people sometimes stoop to hear/see the people they're talking to, you may be hunching as a "solution" to some problem in your environment. If you don't fix those problems, any posture adjustments will be short lived.

Some low-hanging fruit there: Make sure your screen is at eye level (when sitting up straight.) Make sure the font sizes on your computer are big enough that you can read without moving your face closer to the screen.

Folding your legs is also going to lead you to hunch if you're not flexible enough to sit up straight while doing it. (I'd wager that most western adults aren't.) Make sure your chair is at a height where you can have your feet comfortably on the ground. If the height doesn't work for your desk, get something to put your feet on. (My wife uses a laundry basket.)

In case of a dire need for intervention, strap your feet into a snowboard while working. (Half joking, but with my own ADHD, I feel like I'd need to physically restrain myself to break a deeply ingrained habit like that.)
It doesn't make much sense that Google would give a shit about any of this, so I'm guessing there is "more" to this story, as there often is.
CEO should avoid to hire that people. That’s smart.

Wow, if there are bars, your suburbs are quite different to the ones here! One of the primary reasons I refuse to live in anything that looks even a little bit like a suburb is because I want to have a choice of bars (I’d settle for one…) to walk to.
Part of the deal of being a knowledge worker is we are paid for our time not our work.

Which is why paid salary and not an hourly/daily/piecemeal rate.

Giving all your time to your employer is always in your contract. If you don't like it, don't accept the deal.
I highly doubt it’s in the bounds of the contract with any typical employer.

I usually have to sign a clause assigning copyrights for anything work related to the employer, for instance. Working for two tech companies and signing both clauses validly would not be possible since each would require going through an internal process to give permission to contribute code outside the company.

That said, if someone is working as an independent contractor being “over employed” would be fine as long as you aren’t double billing your time.
Guess what else will happen, Unix timestamp will get to 1,666,666,667, then 1,666,666,668, etc.

That actually looks like the rent on the old office facility at a company I worked for, only a few decimal places to the left: $16,666.66/month <shudder>
Awesome service. I put in LGR's Youtube channel and it suggested "LGR Oddware: The Philips CD-i Part 1", and he never reviewed Philips CD-i, but now I really want him to.

Edit: Okay, I gave it Soft White Underbelly now, which is a channel interviewing people from a lower socio-economic background, including prostitutes, and it suggested "SWU Subscription Channel promo-Porn Star interview-Sasha Grey" and "SWU Subscription Channel promo-Prostitute interview-Katie Trick interview-John". The channel is too unique for Gling to be able to pull relevant suggestions, and it was unable to identify that the human condition is the topic, not the adult entertainment industry.

The goal is not to be able to recycle plastic. Plastic recycling typically turns plastic into microplastic, like polyester fiber. If your goal is to reduce the impact of plastic on the environment, you should be profoundly opposed to recycling. Even the "most suitable" plastics for recycling are recycled, they break down in the process, and leak macro plastic into the wild through the various additional transport chains that are required for consumers to mail their used plastic to a recycling facility.

The best place for plastic that has been used is buried in a giant pit, and the second best place is burned to CO2 in a high oxygen furnace.
I'm fascinated specifically with how Justine must have collected the knowledge to write Cosmopolitan. I know some guys who play around with PEs and virtual memory manually, but I always wonder what sort of interests lead you to discovering this sort of thing.

I suspect the combination of interests is a little out there. For instance, with game cheat developers, you tend to first at least have some interest in C++, then understanding memory scanning, then signature scanning, trampolining, and all of a sudden you have the skillset ingredients for authoring some rudimentary cheats. Advanced skills come with driver development, which you then pick up to figure out how to evade anti-cheat technology, etc.

But very few developers I know say, oh yeah, I was just interested directly in this sort of thing from the get-go and decided to pick up all of the specific skills to go straight to cheat development.

Usually, it's the guys who already have game development experience.

What in the world did Justine see before Cosmopolitan? Maybe debugging tech? An interest in creating her own libc and understanding syscalls? Just fascinating.
They changed to continous deployment of micro-PMs.
The majority of our customers are not developers so the ability for them to write and run their own automated tests actually hasn't come up as a feature request before to be honest!

Like other platforms, you can of course build and test out functionality and even see what it looks like to users with different user roles before publishing to your user base.

We have workflows functionality (where you can trigger emails and webhooks when data is updated in your app or when action buttons are clicked) and that would probably strike me as one of the first areas where tests could be focused as these things happen more in the background.
> Case in point? Paradox interactive grand strategy titles. You'll learn more history and geography in a CK2 campaign than a whole year of the average 8th grade history/geography course.

What proof do you have about this?

Stuff like this sounds highly attractive – "If we just designed the right games, our kids would learn as they play", but it's about as useful as your CEO saying "I could just have my 16-year old write that program, he learns programming at schools".

Curricula to teach specific subjects have been designed by professionals to carefully cover learning with reinforcement over time. They don't stop being valid just because you played a game one time that you think you enjoyed a lot.

Does anyone have any recommendations of books or other resources that go over the theory behind full-text search? i.e. language processing, data encoding, on-disk storage and retrieval, etc.

Nitter and Teddit have become near full replacements for twitter and reddit for me. I don't know if they can last but I love services like this without dark patterns.
For context though, this is nothing like the Equifax issue, where the problem wasn't so much as firing employees for holding second jobs, as it was for the fact that Equifax misused client data intended for other purposes to identify these people. It becomes even worse when you consider that Equifax is a quasi monopoly that is almost mandatory for people to submit extremely sensitive private data to if they want to do basically anything in the US economy, including taking up a job, opening a bank account, credit card, renting or buying an apartment, adopting a pet, etc.

It seems like rust has passed some tipping point to wider adoption that I haven't seen in any of those other languages. Yes flight safety stuff went to ada, but much of that has now gone to modern c++ subsets with lots of testing. And car safety stuff has been misra c for quite a while I think? Google has released a rust based os, the browser I'm typing in has a rust css layout engine. I don't think rewrite it in rust is going to be some sweeping fire, it is too much work, but I could see driver writers and kernel authors migrating the whole over a long period. Ship of Theseus style.

Edit: or as part of the webapp Armageddon wasm and wasm runtimes all get written in rust and the os running all those webapps and wasm services atrophies to a tiny thing that eventually gets rewritten itself as something(s) non linuxlike.
I don't know of any country that uses an entirely different system, but I'm willing to bet each country has a couple of exceptions somewhere.
Most of the time these ES replacements lack a decent access control.

One thing is to find what you search, but the other is not to find what you aren't allowed to see.

> Around me, its seems like slowly everyone is starting to doubt/deny the impact of nitrogen and whether it's something we need to care about.

I'm not sure why that's surprising. Our food supply depends on using nitrogen at the moment. You can't just ban it cold-turkey without transitioning to an alternative that doesn't threaten the food supply. Particularly with inflation issues, further destabilizing the food supply is insane at this time. The whole climate change agenda will be in jeopardy if this isn't handled well.
Summary:

- Prefetches predictable load patterns.

- Converts to micro-code.

- Does OoO execution.

- Renames registers to SSA-like form.

- Predicts branches.

(Man, seeing how much work the processor goes through to hammer x86 into something vaguely optimized, I really wish something like the Mill architecture had taken over so we'd get an instructions set made for compilers, not one that requires its own invisible compiler in the chip.)
A kind of a tipping point for me was when one commenter called port-knocking ‘security through obscurity’. Sure, let's see attackers pick one of 65535^x combinations of ports, and meanwhile let's hear this smartass wax about how that's categorically different from a password.
[I work at Firebase]
Hi folks, I've seen some notable mentions of Firebase in this thread.
Last week, during the Firebase Summit we launched preview support for Web Frameworks like NextJS and Angular Universal: https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/frameworks-overview

Support during this early preview includes the following functionality:
- Deploy Web apps comprised of static web content
- Deploy Web apps that use pre-rendering / Static Site Generation (SSG)
- Deploy Web apps that use server-side Rendering (SSR)—full server rendering on demand

This part dazzles me:

'For instance, how do you ensure that an employee is doing what they are being paid to do during the hours they're contracted to work? If your employee took on a new full-time job without telling you, how would you know that they were claiming two pay checks at the end of each month?'

Euh ..., because you check the results of their work? If you contract them for 8 hours, you have no business controlling what they do in their off time not using company resources or divulging company IP. If they work a second job outside your hours, why is that different from them playing 8 hours of video-games a night.

If they want (or maybe need?) to work 2 jobs, maybe you can hire them twice (or pay more so they don't have to?). I get it you pay them for 8 hrs and hope they work 10-12 hrs, but that doesn't entitle you to that time.
> I highly doubt it’s in the bounds of the contract with any typical employer.

Certainly not any recent contracts since this has popped up on corporate legal departments' radars.

"Abject hatred" seems a bit much, even for TikTok.

When it comes to negative impact on humanity, Meta seems far more hate-worthy. And it's not like this list is particularly short (e.g. nearly every venture a16z is involved in seems like it should get a spot).

Heck, even HN isn't without sin.
Hide the app, then setup the Configure / Enforced DenyList things. Mine also has Zygisk enabled.

I don't use my phone for banking, but I do have a crypto wallet that refuses to run on a rooted device, but Magisk solved that for me.
That's not something we currently offer, but it's certainly something I've thought about a lot.
One of the benefits of no-code tools like Noloco is that you define, very explicitly, what your app should do, display and how it behaves under certain conditions. This really does allow for completely automated integration tests. such as verifying that a filter in the UI does filter the data, verify that when User X logs in, that the permissions for that user are respected, verify that when a record meets certain conditions, a tab isn't accessible.

Defining the rules for the app could (and will) allow you to programmatically verify that it's still working as expected.

However, I think another large appeal for no-code/low-code solutions is not having to worry about testing. You can assume that because you're building your application within the rules of the platform, that everything will function as you tell it to.
It was the right move, it's also a red flag for the org and the CEO should look closely into the details of the org he is leading.

My read here is that they were heavily under-utilized (and probably under paid), this tends to happen in orgs with a high level of process and bureaucracy, where employees have little agency to get shit done.

There's a certain point where it goes from teasing to something else entirely

There was a kid I went to high school with who was in a friend group I was also in. There was a point where we started calling him names just as a joke to mess with him. It got to a point where he became emotionally distant, but we kept doing it anyway just bc we didn't think much of it. His personality completely changed. He went from being a happy person to a shell of a person. We were his only friends at the time. He was still distant when we weren't around. He's (apparently) still like this also

I still feel sick to my stomach about that situation to this day, but tl;dr there's a line at which teasing goes from just teasing to something horrible
When this has happened in the past, it was only for Google Drive items that were shared publicly, and those for private storage were "safe". Can anybody confirm/deny if that is the case here?

EDIT: As a matter of fact, I think that is the case here. Notice how the message doesn't say anything about removal, and instead says "some features related to this file may have been restricted". OP's editorialized title is completely wrong, I strongly suspect they're just turning off sharing for the file.

"Triablo"
We know his economic policies.

It will be austerity 2.0 and the predictions are of a deeper recession because of tax increases and spending cuts (both already announced in general terms by Hunt, ally of Sunak and tipped to remain Chancellor).

Increasing the corporation tax is his policy, for instance.

A lot of the government's debt level issues also stem from the response to Covid when, hmm, Sunak was in charge of public finances...
Exactly. "Security by obscurity" is a badly defined term that security people use to name the practices that bring too little benefit for their implementation cost.

It's derogatory by definition, so it can not be underrated. One can disagree about the evaluation of some specific practice, but the people that insist on doing that usually have a horrible track record and even completely wrong mental models (like using the Swiss cheese model for security, when it's only useful against Nature, not humans).

Hey that's a great list of tools.

Are you aware of any that can be used client side like Lyra and supports faceted search?

I've been looking for a solution and cannot find it, even an algorithm and/or a data structure can be helpful. I attempted coming up with a solution myself but ended up with frustration when it came to making the facets dynamic and update as other filters are applied.

I read a couple of papers and one stood out [0], which introduces category theory as a solution to faceted filtering. I understood it in theory and it was still does not seem straight forward to implement but I haven't attempted yet.

> What could it possibly be doing?

If memory serves: point-symbol optimizations to make code calls into The objective-C libraries performant.

Under The hood, objective-C really does use strings to reference library functions. So when the OS is updated, the string interning table is updated and all of the installed software has to have its string to symbol caches rewritten to account for the new API.

There are almost certainly better ways to do this but if I understand correctly, Apple inherited the existing solution without putting enough thought into how it would scale and now changing the solution would break an indeterminate amount of software depending upon the current implementation.
He mostly uses it for embedded programming, but also does the finances for a club he is in via a spreadsheet (As-easy-as) and does write the occasional letter in (if i remember correctly) wordstart. For emails and web he uses Arachne (with a hack that allows arachne to fetch https via wget).
In our case, I've found our customers just aren't very good at imagining things that aren't in the user interface or actions that aren't implemented.

After all they're not developers, so likely aren't used to imagining user interfaces and interactions.

Regardless, the result is that if what we show them ain't pretty close to how it'll look and work, they won't get it and will have a hard time understanding how it will affect their workflow.

So we end up having to implement a fair part of the solution just to get some feedback that we can iterate on.

Since we have several decades of combined domain expertise inhouse, we're typically pretty good at guessing what the customer needs or wants and usually don't have to change much.

I think having no taxes would be a decent decision -- it could be an IRA.

(2) This is just a basic paper trading vs. real money difference in behavior -- TWTR at 49.94 will probably jump 8.4% in a week, so I went all in -- also, the presence of a leaderboard would reward more high variance decision-making. But what can you do.

In my past, I have both worked multiple jobs as a developer, and employed developers working multiple jobs. I have seen it bring a lot more benefits than drawbacks.

To say to someone, "you are not allowed to make money elsewhere", when they are able to fulfill their job obligations without issue, is rooted in jealousy, and creates a worse working environment for both employee and employer.
