My defense against artillery is to take my 200+% movespeed sanguophage royal to meet them with an aerodrone salvo, then longjump back to base, suit up, and prepare to man the doors in the killbox, while my other colonists unload excessive amounts of minigun fire at the raiders.

There are plenty of ways to solve each challenge the game throws at you.

I just have the master password saved in my browser. I realise this is probably sub-optimal for a lot of people but for my workflow (i.e. the kinds of passwords I put in BitWarden) it works out OK.
On iOS, you schedule animations (and all UI updates, period) on the main thread. iOS is then free to make those happen in a non blocking way. iOS dev 101 is “don't do long synchronous work on the main thread because your app will lose the ability to update its UI for the duration”
The Census uses this technique when doing random samples. One of the ways to improve accuracy is to put a lot of effort into contacting a random sample of non respondents which simply isn’t viable at scale.
Who does a code review without a diff?
Oh I don't know. Back in school when asked to write a response to an essay, if I focused on the distraction and not the main point, things didn't go well.

Agree. The beauty of lisp dev is that it’s a REPL that maintains state. You can edit the editor while editing. without restarting Write a defun and evaluate and it’s there. All the state persists. Most JS involves restarting the whole app on script change. I don’t use MS VS code because I can’t stand MS (if you know their history … you understand) Maybe they have the same feature now. Don’t know. The WYSIWYG editors are all web based. Maybe make a open source cloud hosted office suite? Google and MS should not have the only offering there.
I have in the past 10 years worked at about 3 startups where I was making way less than $150K, and the most recent one where I was making right about $150K. In a couple of those cases I was willing to accept low pay because the work/field was a lot of fun and/or it seemed like a socially important project if it succeeded (alternate energy in one case) and I knew that their funding was very tight.
The color changes are just based on relative line position — the most saturated colors are at the line end and beginning. If the colors are distracting, try a different color scheme — the 'Dark' and 'Gray' are fairly subtle.

In terms of the business, BeeLine has browser plugins that bring in decent revenue, but the vast majority comes from licensing to education platforms like Blackboard. Our value prop is two-pronged: we increase accessibility for people with disabilities, while simultaneously increasing time-on-site, free trial conversion, and other KPIs.

Fun fact: BeeLine got its start on HN, way back in the day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6335784
I am not sure I understood your response correctly. I am doing fine as a manager right now in my current role from a performance perspective. I just feel concerned that my skillset won't translate to anywhere else. Maybe it will. Programming skills always felt more concrete and more obviously valued. I also miss the more direct feedback loop you get as an IC coder. I could try to move up to become VP or move back to become an IC. No idea which one is more viable and even less which one would make me happier.
>Realistically, how often do you need to install brand-new non-standard software? If it is a regular occurrence then you need a process by which you can request it and the IT team can assess how they manage it.

Brew is a pretty regular part of my workflow, although that's more often restoring the environment after an IT-mandated OS upgrade than net-new software.

Also there's a couple of thousand third-party dependencies in the monorepo, seeing ~100 changes per month.

I'm grateful that engineering workflow is managed by engineering platform teams... corporate IT is a totally different beast, and it'd be pretty dysfunctional if they micromanaged this stuff..
I'll admit that I'm coming at it from a Western perspective: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karaoke#Production_methods

I agree that it's not what the word inherently means, but it's the typical situation (which is effectively like meaning) where I am (USA).
The B-2 and B-21 are deterrents and insurance policies. The whole point is not to be directly useful.

They are the only survivable platforms that can deliver a large bunker buster munition in hostile airspace. That is now a "must have" capability, regardless of cost.
Silver has a marginal impact on crash risk, especially at night. It may be marginal, but being in a car accident is not something I want to do for a fourth time (never at fault). You might notice how hard it is to see your hood in bad weather if you have a glossy silver paint.

I tend to pick white now, which is also the best colour for hot climates like mine.

I do not understand why academics think all people on Earth were always at the same technological level at the same time.

They don't. Archaeologists are well aware that terms like "Hunter-Gatherer" and "lithics" subsume huge amounts of diversity covering hundreds of thousands of years, but they've stuck around for legacy reasons. Quoting the intro from my old textbook (The Lifeways of Hunter-Gatherers: The Foraging Spectrum):

[...] in the models developed in the twentieth century to describe hunter-gatherers, variation was something to be explained away to uncover the essential hunter-gatherer.

There are thousands upon thousands of recognized "industries" of distinct toolmaking traditions and that's only a minuscule proportion of what must have existed.
I had an S60 some 4 years ago, also equipped with a FLIR camera and although I tried to love the phone, I simply couldn't.

For starters it had a mediocre Snapdragon SoC - better than the average cheapophone, but lacking in a product that was in the premium tier regarding price. The FLIR camera was neat, but inferior to the add-on camera I was using at the time, yet still decent. The cherry on top came when the "ruggedised" phone couldn't cope with normal wear and tear and the plastic started to separate from the case, in a manner similar to the grips in an Xbox Controller Elite game pad that I also owned during that time.

At that point I just desisted from having the CAT phone as my mainly driver and mostly relegated it to the role of auxiliary tool just to have it die suddenly on me. I tried to follow CAT's convoluted RMA process (or perhaps their Bullitt licensee who actually make their phones, I can't remember), chock-full of awful chats and sending non-stop repeated information prompts in order to process a return until I realised I bought it from Amazon and just obtained a refund.

As I said, I really tried to like the product but my experience was so horrible that I gave up on "working phones" altogether.
2 things

1. it's not that the colors are themselves bad, but that the author feels the trend is being forced upon their whole generation

2. there are a number of not-very-grey pastels that I've seen on the road: Subaru's Hyper blue WRX STI, Toyota's Voodoo blue 4Runners, Dodge's orange Challengers, soon Nissan's new yellow Z, ... so maybe the author is too focused on what they dislike

Re: 1, it's funny because I always felt metallic colors were thrust upon us all for 20 years, a trend with its own missteps. Remember the green metallic early-00s Altimas? Worse than any grey pastel I've seen. But it doesn't indict the whole metallic category.

Personally, one of our first family cars was a pastel close to butter. (nowadays, my car is silver metallic)
No, it really isn't, and it's mildly obnoxious to people living in the southern hemisphere (or the tropics, for that matter) when people assume spring = Q2. Mildly because we're used to it, but it's not hard to avoid.

And for better or worse, the Gregorian calendar is the universal civil system now, even in the countries like Saudi Arabia that notionally use other calendars. Even Korean Juche years, Japanese imperial eras etc are aligned to Gregorian years.
Imagine changing the constitution!
Good luck getting people to change the way they write dates, no matter how terrible it is.
ComponentKit for Facebook was explicitly built to offload as much ui work as possible to other threads (text sizing being super expensive) and only go back to main to say “here is your new react style model”.

I was very surprised that SwiftUI didn’t do this too.
Going via architecture is an interesting angle. I certainly feel more comfortable discussing at that high level and know concepts and trade-offs quite well. I do wonder about even going down to the level of what libraries to use. Much seems to have changed there and there is so much now I've never used personally. Was that an issue for you at all?
I hope this succeeds.

A single MRI can take up to 200 gb of storage space. The health system has about 7.5 petabytes of data in storage arrays alone, all of which is active and separate from backups.

About one petabyte of that data is unstructured (which includes MRIs and other imaging data), and that’s the type of data that’s growing quickest.

This is being done on purpose to obfuscate the pricing scheme. A shame on the industry. I have hope that, together, we can succeed and crack this.

She's lucky she wasn't killed! I've had the find my phone feature disabled on my phone from day one, but Google keeps reactivating it after updates. I know just owning a phone can cost you your privacy and your freedom, now it looks like just owning a cell phone could cost you your life.
My face looks too much like Jack Black to be taken seriously enough by a potential romance scam victim.
I wasn't talking about chernobyl. I was talking about the wastelands created by mining ore that is around the same energy density as coal and leaving the toxic leaching fluid lying around or pumping it into ground water.
Effing terrible.
Whoa there buddy.

Your statement is both downright offensive and untrue.

1. Great recruiters work long hours around others’ schedules

2. Recruiters deal with tons of rejection that most developers don’t have the stomach for

3. Female recruiters are often overworked, harassed, mansplained to and disrespected in our industry as they deal with fragile male egos, imposter syndrome, interview anxiety, etc

To build a real career as a realtor or recruiter requires perseverance in the face of rejection, work and networking skills. They are worthy of our respect.
Sure, sure, the base case is easy. I would be more impressed with an example that has datalevin or SQLite as a dependency, though. Also Cheshire and/or jetty. Real-world dependencies make it difficult.
Highlighting the (potential) benefits of political decentralization does not detract from the downsides of geographic decentralization.

Regardless, plenty of smaller countries manage to get along with nuclear power just fine. Slovakia, Korea, Canada, the Czech republic, Argentina. Nuclear power has spread to every content, and dozens of countries. Centralizing reprocessing may help with nuclear weapons proliferation, but most countries have a regional hegemon that already have nuclear weapons that they're fine importing from.

How big was the business with Rosatom compared with Germany importing gas from Gazprom because they invested in an intermittent power source? China accounts for nearly 80% of the world's battery supply chain [1]. And over 80% for solar panels [2]. There's a strong case to be made that renewable are more centralized: besides wind it's just one country dominating the whole market. The enriched uranium supply is actually much more diverse: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1147358/leading-enriched...

The answer is C. But we don't know what it is, so we are trolled into debating which of the remaining answers is most likely correct. Answer: none.
Right. At one point floating point was a co-processor. Then it became technically feasible and supported by business cases so it was included in all chips.

It's only a matter of time before tensor cores are ubiquitous
I'm always a little surprised when computery people don't naturally default to YYYY-MM-DD (except when you're filling out paper forms or something).

It's unambiguous and always sorts correctly, and doesn't contain any awkward characters. Objectively the best date format.
You didn't answer my questions because they made my point and you don't want to follow what you said through to its logical conclusions and ultimate consequences.

It's not my questions that are absurd, it's your condescending attitude and statements, and I specifically asked you those questions to point out the absurdity of what you said, and by refusing to answer you proved my point.

Your demeaning judgements could apply just as much to the lack of value and sadness and emptiness of your own children's lives if they decide not to breed as they do against everyone else, which is my point that you're unable to acknowledge because you delusionally believe your own children are somehow magically different than everyone else in the universe, and you unfairly exempt them from your harsh degrading criticism of other people.

They're not, and your condescending attitude applies as much to your own children as to anyone else.

It's judgemental condescending parents like you who kick their kids out onto the streets because they're disappointed in them and believe they're sad and worthless for not wanting to breed when they find out they're gay or lesbian, so their kids don't trust them, are afraid to come out to them, hide their true feelings from their own parents, and often commit suicide, because they understand how harsh and judgemental their parents are, from all the condescending hateful things they say about other people all their lives.

You only judge that other people's lives are sad and empty for not breeding because they're not your children, so you have a double standard, and don't want to admit that. But kids can see through that, and know you'll ultimately judge them just as harshly too.

Part of being a good parent is being mature enough to not think and speak in such a childish nasty way, and to not be so condescending and demeaning.
Does anyone else wonder how the water issues that we are seeing become more pervasive in the south west will impact long term investment? I have family that lives in PHX so I'm familiar with the area and much of the development. Though I cannot help but conclude that at some point water shortages become a massive problem in that area. My naive understanding is fab plants recycle (re-use?) much of their water but ignoring that, fab plants need people and people need water.
seems pretty basic when compared to ChatGPT (https://imgur.com/QYbGKXm)
I think a PP without qualification becomes so nebulous that it can't be used in anger. Like what is wrong with saying that the most precautious we can be is to turn off all fossil fuels immediately? Lets stop cement and fertilizer production while we're at it. Starvation concerns? Irrelevant because we're being Precautious(TM).

When are 2/3 going to be in dire straits? 10 years, 50 years, 100 years? It matters to our policy response, that is my whole point. Repeating "global warming bad" isn't wrong but it doesn't inform policy.

More jobs = better?! That simply means it takes more resources to produce the same output. That is efficiency going down and is not good for the economy. But that doesn't matter because using the PP means that economic health isn't important. THIS is why it is important that institutions like IPCC need to consider all possibilities. We can't tell if using more labour is a good thing unless we can compare it to the downside! If we limit our imagination to 1.5C warming, we are deluding ourselves.
I've only heard of lottie but never really used it so I'm slightly confused with this.

Were these issues present only in the iOS version of the library? or are these issues present across android, web, and RN as well? and will these platforms also get the upgrade?
All the best! There are many _huge_ projects written in pure C. Don’t let people tell you C is bad for your project size.
So it's yet more fuel for the VPN industry boiler?

No one is going to enforce this other than Canadian businesses that require it, like ISP companies and Canadian hosted porn sites (I'm not going to google statistics about this at work even on my personal phone for obvious reasons haha)

And so unless Canada makes VPN technology illegal its not going to be very hard to just use a VPN to "leave Canada" and resume using the internet as normal.

Starts to make me wonder if the VPN companies have started lobbying as a weird form of regulatory capture...
For some of us in hot climates, white has the benefit of being cooler in the sun.
Interestingly, in Israel they call a test with multiple choice questions "an American test".
You don't need to be an expert to see the writing on the wall. The 2nd in power will always want to be first. Kingdoms are built and die on power transitions and China has appeared desperate to become the leading super power for as long as I can remember.

edit: Can ignore this comment, I see an earlier thread that discusses water with lots of replies. Sorry about that.
I came to this same conclusion last week when I started writing my own webgpu renderer. I went into it with no knowledge of graphics and without using libraries. Having to create my own generic abstractions for pipelines, passes and buffers has been a massive creative and educational experience.
I haven't felt this satisfaction from programming in years from my day job.
I see where you're going, but I disagree that "without vocals" would exist anywhere in the definition of "cover." It's all a simple Venn diagram, though. There are covers, and there are karaoke versions, and Western karaoke is usually the intersection.
Even Java IDE debuggers have long had the ability to redefine methods and classes at runtime (with some limitations).
My mind is blown.

Even when the ruse is revealed, many victims are unwilling to let go. The truth triggers an emotional whiplash—the promise of a soulmate, a new, fulfilling life, and mutual trust is suddenly lost, leaving the intense feelings of love behind. Once found, the real man in the photos becomes a surrogate for the fantasy. “Some of them would reach out to me and [say], ‘Now that I know what the real person is like, are you still single?’” Victor said. “‘Can I meet you? Can I FaceTime you?’”

SMH.

Time to retire Cinderella and similar stories.
That's the $100 working as intended
That’s the personalized, human-centric vision.

The big five aren’t going to give that to you. Are you going to train your LLM yourself? Personalize it? How’s it on servers in your house?
No. You’re going to use the one they give you and it’s not personalized, it doesn’t work for you. It actively works against you, advertising to you (which is just convincing you to buy something you ordinarily wouldn’t) and otherwise extracting money from you.
The reason companies are investing billions in AI is they expect a return on that investment. The return will be funded by money they extract from you.
With all due respect, did you read the article?
A large part of this problem is caused by the ubiquitous use of transitive dependency resolvers in Java build tools like maven and gradle. Developers are not even aware that log4j is one of their dependencies because they are not using it directly, only transitively.

Well, I’m wrong and thank you.
It's also very easy to hear the similarities between Peking and Mandarin... clearly they are related in every aspect except for k > j

Whereas for Cantonese, there's difference in vowel quality and the final -k of 北.

It wouldn't be misinformation if Mandarin indeed used to be pronounced similar to Cantonese... but that's just not true since earlier Mandarin never had -a- for the vowel of 北; it was an innovation in several southern Chinese languages. At best we can say that they used to be pronounced like their Middle Chinese ancestors.
Touché. I was looking at it through a Western lens, as I imagine this Apple press release also is, in avoiding the term. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karaoke#Production_methods
Anyone know the resolution of the FLIR camera?
Specs don't seem to list the thermal camera resolution, only up-res one. The last revision was kind of weak, low-res with a max of only 120°C or so, if memory serves right. The improvement to : -20°C to 400°C is a happy step forward.
Dang, must have been thinking silly last time I checked.

Also, this covers physical harm, but what about economic harm? If an OS security bug was exploited by a hacker and caused you to loose all your life savings and end up homeless, can you put a linux/windows/ s/w dev in jail?
I was very annoyed when I worked for a global company that used DD-Mon-YYYY, like 01-Apr-2020. Moaned and groaned about how they chose a non-standard format instead of an ISO standard.

Of course, I later found out that is a standard format, and I suppose it's easier on non-technical people even if it stinks as a computer guy. Egg on my face.
