> nix unlike all other distros can install multiple version of the same package

The above is sometimes true and sometimes not. For the most part, Nix can install multiple versions of a program but only one can be in use at any given time.

Nix is for the most part shell based workflow (as in bash, zsh, etc.). The `nix-shell` command lets you switch out the packages (and versions of packages) that are used in any given shell, but it works off of a configuration file written in the Nix language that you write. The programs that are available are controlled by environment variables such as PATH and MANPATH.

Nix is a big shift from the usual way of dealing with packages, programs, etc. It isn't really useful until you really make the effort to understand what is going on, learn the Nix language, etc. If you are not interested in "programming" your system, then it probably isn't for you.

Hello! My name is Ariel, I'm a full-stack Web developer with 10 years of career experience, and the last 5 centered around building a foundation in full-stack development using Ruby on Rails.

I'm happiest when solving business, customer, and user problems from the perspective of Web-based applications and related information systems. I'm an advocate for privacy by design, open-source software, testing the code you write, and finding room for appropriate automation.

I'm currently only looking for full-time, direct placement opportunities offering salary & benefits on day 1.

For more on my specific preferences, I can present a list derived from my Hired.com profile: https://imgur.com/a/7swhL8V

Looking forward to your contact!

> There's a point at which the child cannot possibly deal with it and you as the parent must step in to protect them, but most of the time if a child learns how to deal with bullies you don't need to.

And the next step isn't to start arguing about what does, and doesn't, constitute a bully.

---

The way my mother tells it, I started crying when I got into the car after school and wouldn't tell her what was going on. After the 3rd day in a row she got very insistent, I finally told her and she never left that parking lot before having it cleared up with the school. They removed me from her class and put me in another class with a teacher named Mrs Parker (whom I adored).

You're mistaken if you think my argument is that there aren't situations in which the parent MUST step in.
You're taking what they said out of context. They don't want to defund the police they want police reform. Defund the police was an easier chant. Like ACAB, except when needed to combat peaceful protesting from someone you don't like. You can thank the NGOs for spreading "defund the police" while the people affected by the defunding cry for police presence in their high crime areas.

How are you implementing JS platform support, is it a WebAssembly JS interpreter?
Another person who doesn’t realise AI language models are just making shit up. Google results are quite often full of wrong information, but at least it has mechanism for surfacing better content: inbound links, domain authority, and other signals. It doesn’t guarantee correctness, but it’s better than the pseudo-authoritative fiction GPT-3 and friends come up with.
I’m aware of the incident, but I don’t understand your reasoning. Had CNNIC been restricted to issue certificates only for .cn domains, the incident would have never been possible. That should be a supporting evidence for CA name constraints.

I don’t understand the “amplifying local law” part. How is restricting the power amplifying?
Fair point, but Google is also exactly as confidently wrong as GTP. They are both based on Web scrapes of content from humans after all, who are frequently confidently wrong.
If you are measuring the value of your BTC in USD, you already kinda lost there.

Furthermore, you just handily stated cryptocurrency's true purpose, which is avoiding the modern world's curbs on the more destructive habits of unregulated finance.

You are not painting yourself into a good corner with a lot of more normal people here.
I will bookmark this, so in a year or two, I get a reminder that potentially better products do not always win.

Nice result formatting, though.

> To clarify, are you saying the entire app was slower with AVX than it was with SSE4?

We were optimizing loop by loop, and some loops converted in AVX could well be slower yes (at this point of time). AVX is probably more often a win nowadays.

> That would be surprising, because 2x vector width is expected to outweigh 10-20 percent downclocking.

In practice workload is often bottleneck by memory access, and there is diminishing returns with increased vector size.

It is something that bothers me about the ML literature is that they frequently present a large number of evaluation results such as precision and AUC but these are not qualified by error bars. Typically they make a table which has different algorithms on one side and different problems on the other side and the highest score for a given problem gets bolded.

I know if you did the experiment over and over against with different splits you'd get slightly different scores so I'd like to see some guidance as to significance in terms of ① statistical significance, and ② is it significant on a business level. Would customers notice the difference? Would it make better decisions that move the needle for revenue or other business metrics?

This study is an example where a drastically more expensive algorithm seems to produce a practically insignificant improvement.
Robots will only be used as a deadly force option when [1] risk of loss of life to members of the public or officers is imminent and [2] officers cannot subdue the threat after using alternative force options or de-escalation tactics options, **or** conclude that they will not be able to subdue the threat after evaluating alternative force options or de-escalation tactics.

Do not give SFPD permission to kill people with robots. There are many alternatives available to police, even in extreme circumstances. Police equipment has a documented history of misuse and mission creep. While the proposed policy would authorize police to use armed robots as deadly force only when the risk of death is imminent, this legal standard has often been under-enforced by courts and criticized by activists. For the sake of your constituents' rights and safety, please vote no.

Other than the reputation for police to abuse tech, it's not clear how killer robots will create a new problem. EFF even states how enforcement of legal standards is the problem, not police equipment.

You don't need certifications to get a job if you have knowledge of various security topics. But if you don't, certifications are a great start to gain that knowledge. Also majority of security interviews will ask you questions from various parts of security so it's best to learn those topics. First figure out which part of security you want to work in and then take the shortest path to get a job in that part of security.

For compliance work you need certifications. Security+ as a start. AWS and Azure to stand out from the crowd, then CISSP and CISA and whatever other certs company requires.

For network security. Certifications matter. Network+, Security+, CCNA.

For blue team. Certifications matter. Security+, Microsoft, Linux, Network+, etc.

For pentesting. Skills matter more but certifications will help you with interview questions and getting first job. Web App testing knowledge is the most important, followed by code review and netpen knowledge. Security+ and Network+ certs to answer security related interview questions. OSCP to help you with learning how to use tools, how AD attacks work and getting a boost over other candidates.
Mozilla Corporation — who basically just do Firefox — is a separate entity from the Mozilla Foundation. Mozilla Corporation gets commercial investment to pay Firefox developers, so that the Mozilla Foundation doesn't need to pay or invest in it for it to do its thing.

This fire-wall (heh) ensures that Mozilla Foundation can never be said to be being influenced by corporate interests. All the corporate money stays inside Mozilla Corporation, i.e. inside Firefox.

Their machine would be pwned, but their 2nd factor would not be compromised if they used something like a yubikey, so the attacker couldn't use the compromised host to SSO to other systems and enlarge their compromise. That's why yubikey requires that you touch it - an attacker can't just remotely trigger it even if they totally own the host the yubikey is plugged into.

That's the point of TFA - unphishable second factors and ways to make them phishable. I'm saying that using the clipboard would be a bad idea in this case.
You might want to re-read your contract to verify you're allowed to run a server on that connection (and AT&T will consider both a Helium node and a Tor relay to be a server).

I honestly have no idea what a 5Gbps connections could give you over a 1Gbps. I have the Google Fiber 1Gbps service and the only things I can do to saturate the connection are: Speedtests, downloading something from Bittorrent, pulling down 500MB driver files from Nvidia (though I haven't tried that since I first got fiber service 8 years ago). Google wants me to upgrade to 2Gbps service for $30/month more but Google's own services don't run faster than about 150Mbps so no.
never had to dig too deep as it is not noticeable (up to a certain index size of course https://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/usermanual/usermanual....). index scheduling can be configured (cron) but for my purposes it works ok out of the box.

Men have no reproductive rights at all. Women can rape underage boys and these boys are then forced to pay child support to their rapists including back pay for the missed years.

Men don't have a single federally funded organization positively helping them compared to 1000s for women.

Men/boys don't have bodily autonomy in US. They are forced to fight in wars and are genitally mutilated at birth against their will.

DV laws are anti male.

Custody laws are anti fathers.

Rape laws are gendered.

All the typical major indicators are favorable to women instead of men. Ex: age expectancy, education, drug addicts, suicides, homeless, police shootings, prison inmates...
The question is a bit overloaded. How do you define hard? Mentally taxing? Time consuming to figure out? Requires collaboration with cross-functional SMEs to build a robust solution?

I work in a distributed systems role. There are many things to consider all the time when building high throughput applications with multiple layers of concurrency, caching, micro services and points of failure. While I’m not proving the Hodge Conjecture, I’m still pretty beat at the end of the day constantly keeping up and learning things.

People who claim things like front end is easy, then why are they themselves not the number 1 best front end engineer in the world? Because it’s hard. Everything has complexity.
I was going to disagree, but re-reading the laws would mean that the robot would be required to be capable of overriding any input command from a human which might cause it to harm another human.

I'm inclined to agree that violating this is generally a bad idea. I don't know that I would go so far as to make it a law, as I am not a pacifist and would prefer a robot to retain the capability to override the first law exclusively in the interest of obeying the second law, when there is an audit trail of commands given such that someone- whether the robot or the human behind the robot- can be held to account.

Regular people spend much less than a million to raise a child up to 20.
The study almost certainly was either poorly designed, a statistical abnormality, doesn't show what you think it does, and/or failed to replicate.

If it was valid for showing what you think it shows I would think my doctor, a urologist who attends medical conferences, would know about it.

What my urologist said is also backed up by a book for laypeople I read on men's health written by a urologist named Aaron Spitz called "The Penis Book". I just double checked and it says "Contrary to popular belief, lifting weights does not boost your testosterone in a meaningful way."

While I am not a doctor it's my understanding people who do this for a living know individual studies are unreliable. Scott Alexander wrote on his blog "I think a useful epistemic habit is to be very skeptical of individual studies, and skeptical but not too skeptical of large randomized trials, good meta-analyses, and general medical consensus when supported by an evidence base."
What would happen if you executed Extism on itself? Would the world implode? :)
Healthy skepticism is always good, but are there organizations that go out of their way to make themselves not look like "good guys"?
Very fascinating writeup.

For another logic text, I really enjoyed Walton’s Informal Logic: A Pragmatic Approach.

It describes arguments as existing within different types of dialectic contexts (e.g. debate, deliberation, negotiation). Arguments that are fallacious in one context (e.g. threatening your opponent in a debate) are not in other contexts (e.g. threatening your opponent in a negotiation). From this, informal fallacies are defined not as inherently bad arguments that must always be avoided, but rather they emerge when one inappropriately shifts the dialectic from one type of argument to another.

It's not a negative propaganda but truth. Having a child today means your life does not have anything else in it besides being a provider. At most you can argue that it's something extremely good, but you can't refute extreme amounts of time having children takes.
Nah, it's easy enough. I've got a thing that sets my Slack status to whatever my Everhour timer is named when I start one. It unsets the status when I stop the timer.

I've got mine set up in make.com but you could use Zapier or probably any other automation tool that supports triggering on your timer status. Chucked it together in 5 min or so.

Of course this Pulse probably does a bit more than that (cue dropbox comment), but that's all I wanted.

I'm pretty sure Slack can already sync with your calendar meetings using this app if that's all you're needing https://slack.com/app-pages/google-calendar
This was a memorable passage from the post for me:

"This is because all efforts trivially lead to some results. It’s an entirely different matter whether it is an expected one or not. But such is the world we find ourselves in that anything short of a ground-breaking discovery is treated as an unacceptable embarrassment. And thus, every marginal increment is touted as ground-breaking, and every deviation is repackaged to look like an intended result (which is again touted as ground-breaking)."

It's even worse than this in my opinion, as the reasons ground-breaking discoveries occur are generally not why the field thinks (or asserts?) they occur. So it's not just the results that are misrepresented, it's the whole chain of things leading to them, and what comes afterward: how they came about, who was involved in what capacity, who considers them ground-breaking or not and why, and so forth and so on.
Wow that looks indeed amazing. I can imagine a game that's 90% of the time isometric, but you can admire the scene in full 3D if you want.
