The fact is the system is designed by white countries (previous colonizers), they control the voice people hear, how the money flows, and how countries are manipulated. It is a large system. Developing countries have to play the same game.

Why would a country build stadiums to whitewash the deaths of labours during the construction of stadiums?

It is the same system British designed to control colonies: carrot and stick, weaken them, make sure they are dependent on you, and then you control it. Would west boycott energy from the middle east? Almost all resources in middle east are controlled by western companies one way or another. The media and government play different roles to serve the same purpose, to control the world.

That’s just anthropomorphizing the universe, which cannot learn or think and therefore cannot impute meaning. It is simply your opinion that something has meaning on an individual level. It may to you, but it’s purely subjective.

I think you may be unaware of the extent to which players, including children, are engaging in real-money gambling at the periphery of video games. Here's some recent reporting on the topic.

Tl;Dw there's a thriving, multibillion dollar gray market for gambling with cosmetic items in games, as well as a market for trading these items for real money. Together this creates stealth real money casinos.
One stood out to me, where you could give the "skip" button the same blue border as the "invite friends" button, but that would be flagged as a mistake. Leaving "skip" deemphasized and hardly identifyable as a button was the "correct" solution.

The only reason this film is done this way is because of extreme limitations of equipment and process used for its production.

While there is value in the aesthetics brought by such process, it’s easy to see how actual content could have been improved. For example, they talk about flow speed, but can’t render it. All flow segments would be better if relative speed of air streams would be rendered as well.

Yeah, it's probably just a piece of creative writing, but I've seen the basic conceit done better. The Local 58 web videos, for example, do the "message to you" thing better because they build a world for that message to have come from, and draw you into that world using both text and paratext. This, on the other hand, does no world-building and doesn't even create an implied character for the message to have come from. It's too sterile.

Even if it is nodding at morally-questionable deprogramming outfits, one, that's kind of an odd reference to be making decades after the fact, and, two, there's nothing in the text to support that beyond the literal use of the word "de-programming" precisely once. However, there's no other obvious interpretation which would give this a point.
And those transactions will fail. Please learn about a subject before speaking about it.

Introduction to than Ward Flen, lang whem
I’m only 3 months into the same journey but having difficult conversations up front I’ve already learnt is really important. There’s also a way of framing it. For e.g. “I need you to” rather than “you are not doing this and it’s a problem”

For e.g. there’s a developer on my team who my boss managed previously and gave the impression that being a senior dev was not a huge amount of work and he could reach that milestone by Christmas. My boss was very hands off because he had something like 20 reports plus a full time software engineering manager job and contract shit to deal with.

I took over the team started managing him and it became very obvious very quickly that he wasn’t at the same standard as our other senior devs. So I had to make it clear very quickly that for e.g. this is a rough skills matrix of what we expect for each level and you can do the coding OK, but you don’t seem able to write tests for your language of choice, and you often start randomly working on things that we’ve not agreed in the sprint, etc. etc.
Well, I sure am glad to get told that my concerns and perspectives do not matter because you have different subjective preferences. Despite me being charitable enough to entertain your view on things; especially as I have used and evangelised Matrix for half a decade at this point.

As I am essentially stuck with an argument that boils down to “But I like deep dependency stacks (even with calls across language boundaries) with less than a handful of protocol implementations, there is client diversity (despite the fact that pretty much everyone uses Element despite its glaring UI faults/bugs and no other client seems to keep up feature-wise), and in ${CURRENT_YEAR} I expect these features in a single client/protocol come hell or high water”, I will sign off here as I feel like I am not getting through anyway.

hm. well assuming they have no network and don't otherwise encrypt bits that an attacker could get ahold of, it's probably fine.

the bigger issue would be something like spawning a bunch of servers that share the same rng state that can then be manipulated by an attacker (and therefore encrypt different data with the same key+nonce and such).

> Apartheid was clearly immoral, but they handed over the keys to a very productive economy, on land with some of the best resources in the world, on which they had built excellent infrastructure.

South Africa was no “very productive economy”. The engine behind the “very productive economy” country was (almost) free labor.

People always fail to take that detail into account..

You should also remember that resources went to whites mostly during apartheid. That means around 1/5th of the population…

>GrapheneOS, LineageOS, you have options on (some) Android handsets

These are not normal approaches used by the common person. Apple is not horrible for privacy, they simply help prevent certain types of surveillance capitalism.
Here's a simple solution: change your comments (and your mindset) from vague "will fix it later" to a more specific "fix once <trigger condition> occurs". Ideally trigger condition is tied to automated alerts & metrics, but that's not strictly necessary.

You'll realize that most of the time trigger condition will not occur in the foreseeable future, or you don't even know what trigger condition is. Latter usually means you're planning to optimize because you want to, not because there's any business value in it. Stop thinking that it needs fixing because there's room for fixing. Businesses are all about tradeoffs, not perfectionism.

E.g. instead of "optimize this query in the future" write "optimize this query when we have customers with 1000+ orders", or "optimize this query when response time goes above 500ms", or even "optimize this query when N+ customers complain".
> One of the hallmark tactics of a cult is to isolate you from the rest of the world. They make you depend solely on others within the community for your every need, thus making it extremely difficult to leave.

This line stood out to me and seems very apt in these days. For ex, how it's now normal to go after people's jobs directly via social media pressure tactics or business's revenue (and subsequently their employees jobs) via Visa/mastercard/paypal/ad buyers/etc, merely for stepping out of line from mainstream opinions... as Wikileaks and many others experienced.

Making society more resilient to cult-like behaviour is always a good thing. Even when these tactics might benefit your pet beliefs, it's rarely worth the trade-offs and usually backfires.

When the system you promote exclusively benefits a particular ideology or exclusive set of organizations that's usually a good indicator it's cultish.

Your numbers are not even close.

Botswana has a $7,347.55 GDP per capita according to Google (in 2021).

That's at least 75% lower than the worst Baltic nation, not "slightly below."
Your comment makes me believe that you don't think very highly of "blockchain advocates". But you don't seem to have much of a problem with using a replicated git repository in this manner.

So what is the specific problem that you have? You just don't like the fact that blockchain data mutations are bundled into periodically-generated blocks that incorporate changes from multiple users, rather than being pushed by individual users on an ad hoc basis? Is it a problem for you that blockchain nodes maintain network connections with each other, and have a protocol for ensuring that they all remain in sync, rather than relying on individual users to pull and manually merge changes explicitly?

A typical feature of religious disputes is that the smallest distinction takes on the most momentous significance. Is that not what's going on here?
I dunno. My wife and I used to insta buy/ take our kids to see Disney movies, but now we double check what sorts messages the movie has in it.

For example, Turning Red. It seems to have a message of… never listen to your parents? Rebel against authority? I’m not sure exactly. It’s a weird movie.

Which is interesting because Moana is, as an adult, possibly one of my favorite movies of all time. The messaging of the heroes journey, venerating your ancestors, but being able to look toward the future and find a new way that sometimes faces resistance is a perfect tale. Then there’s also the subtext of Maui and Tefiti being the archetypal divorced couple, with Maui stealing her heart which causes severe emotional trauma until she is healed by Moana, the archetypal child mending the family.

Frozen is a weird one, I could write a book about it.

Princess and the Frog is great.

It’s so weird! I never know if a mainline Disney movie is going to be good or terrible. I don’t really know what’s going on over at Disney right now.
My biggest regret by far is managing a (formerly extremely productive) remote team that developed incredibly toxic indirect communication spirals which just got worse and worse and worse.

I also deeply regret ever being a middle manager when it is not my area of strength or interest and don’t plan on doing it again. Ever. If I can avoid it.

I learned that middle management is the worst place to be in any corporate environment. Especially in this environment of contraction.

You can “get it” from below (your direct reports rebel and try to undermine you). You can get it from sideways: Your peers trying to take you out. You can get it from above, your management changing to people who don’t get along with you or feeling threatened and trying to get you.

And you can get it from combinations of those things: Your direct reports and your managers teaming up on you. Your peers and your direct reports teaming up on you. Etc.

How did I find this out?

Because every combination of this happened to me. My management started fighting with each other and then it started trickling down to me directly.

I tried to ignore it but my manager wasn’t covering me so I tried to cover myself. That triggered more fighting and less trust and more politics.

And my direct reports were angry at me because they didn’t know what was going on and neither did I.

It just got worse and worse and worse and worse and worse. Like a fractal of awful.

To this day I do not know what I could have done better or how to fix it. I tried to stay out of it, but it was like this awful toxic stench that stuck to everything and everyone.

Everyone absolutely hated each other and it was so rotten and no one could get out and no one could leave.

There were multiple factions competing with each other and no one trusted each other and everyone was sneaking around trying to cover their tracks.

In retrospect I should have quit and joined a startup.

My advice?

Don’t be a middle manager.
To clarify: Does your friend mean that Tarantino’s early movies are also mass produced boredom or the opposite?

Why unpopular? You wrote "can identify primes 99.999% of the time for quicker testing", which shows several fundamental and basic flaws in your understanding.

We've had approximate primarily testing methods for a long time and they are quite effective. See https://primes.utm.edu/notes/prp_prob.html (citing https://www.ams.org/journals/mcom/1989-53-188/S0025-5718-198... ), for a 100,000-digit number the odds of Fermat's test for compositeness being a false is 1.3E-10584, which is 99.9999999999999{insert 560 nines here}999999999%.

This is why, in the AMS paper cited as [1] in this link, Dubner wrote "it is virtually certain that R49081 is prime." The full context is:

> In September 1999, it was discovered that R49081 is a probable prime. This was verified on several different computers with different software. Although it is virtually certain that R49081 is prime, it is necessary to prove rigorously that it is prime.

A 99.999%-likely test is far less virtually certain than the test used, and in any case doesn't achieve the goal of rigorously proving it's prime.

Even worse, these standard primality testing methods have a 0% false negative rate, while your hypothetical AI might miss actual repunits even with a 0.000001% rate.

> just a form of embedded randomness, behind any irrational number like Pi

This doesn't makes sense. There are irrational numbers with no randomness, like Liouville's constant and the Champernowne constant. And there are plenty of patterns in primes - the Ulam spiral Wikipedia entry even compares the clearly apparent structure of that spiral to a random distribution, at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulam_spiral .

Your comment therefore comes across as very ill-informed, and your doubling down doesn't help.
The video talks a bit about that; some cameras saved on cost by only reading one or two of the "patches", and would set a "close enough" ISO.

In practice (at least the video claims), this often shouldn't be a big deal, as most film is tolerant to the over/under-exposure you'd get by setting a few ISO levels off from the correct one. For low-end consumer cameras where you'd expect the user to only use 100-, 200-, or 400-speed film, I think that's a reasonable trade off to make. And it's a low-end camera; people who buy them are expecting some corners to be cut that might reduce quality.

Also consider that a manual selector would probably have been more expensive to integrate than adding the rest of the hardware needed to detect all possible ISO levels. So if they didn't want to even spend money on the latter, they certainly wouldn't on the former. And the kinds of people who would buy cameras like that are probably also of the kind who would forget to manually set the camera to match their film, or wouldn't even understand that they need to.

But yeah, if some of those cameras were doing "can't read, so set to ISO 25", that's just dumb.
Ah, split screen. No option for covert strategies.

I guess many people stopped investing into expensive pc gaming rigs when consoles became more popular. And work provided them with a Windows laptop.
I’d echo what others have said about leetcode exercises: their relevance to the actual job is tenuous at best. After 20+ years as a full-stack dev, I can say that when it comes to technical interviews, the degree of difficulty has more to do with the number of candidates than the actual job requirements. Ivies, MIT, etc. have similar problems.

TL;DR: Decide which kind of companies you want to work for. Find out what their technical interviews are like and reverse engineer your prep from there.

Their support is also often stellar - if something breaks in a free product, get ready for some free support also (read, none, DIY).

And, maybe you think fixing your IDE yourself makes you a better developer - if you are building IDEs, maybe, sure. I'm more than happy to outsource that a company which does this as its bread and butter.

Microsoft, on the other hand, sells (or tries to) enterprise office solutions. They may have optimized for a single use-case (TypeScript), outside of promoting their web-strategy (typescript), I wouldn't expect them to care one lick about VSCode, once it stops being particularly important.

Its also not open source (VSCode), so I would have no qualms regarding that - there is (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode) OFC but the license for the product everyone uses is not (https://code.visualstudio.com/License/).

Since the day we're born we're interpreting the world around us, or we're told stories explaining it. We live in our image of the world, not in reality.

In most cases with avian flu the thing they are scared about is not you getting sick but birds around you catching it.

So while birds don't care about borders potential sick bird carcass does.

Avian flu is not great for farms, if there is a breakout you pretty much cannot have your birds outside. And if your flock is infected they will be gassed and destroyed which no one wants to happen. Hence why they are careful.
