In general there is nothing wrong with long-life plastic products. Plastic is a really useful and important material when used appropriately!

It's the insane amount waste and environmental pollution that single-use plastic generates that is the problem.
Nonstick pans are not meant for searing steaks. They're meant for making things like creamy scrambled eggs that are difficult to get right on cast iron.

"You're poor? Work harder. Get a better job. First principles."

"You're unhealthy? Exercise more. Eat better food. First principles."
I don't understand what you mean.

If it has to be "better" then it must improve. But improvement doesn't mean "competing with FAANG". It just means being good enough today, and keep improving from there.

My income 35 years ago was vastly different from today. I needed far less, but it also grew over time. But that doesn't mean I must make millions today to consider my life a success. I'm happy today. Isn't that "successful"?
Broken and severely lacking. Would be nice for support of AAS/SSA subtitles that enables location placement and typography customization that made watching anime fansubs a hoot. Also glad there's more describe audio these days, but describe audio captions still not a thing.

On the topic of AAS/SSA, someone rendered an entire episode of animation in subtitles for lulz.

Anecdotally? Yes, but since it seems you want evidence which my mere mentioning of anecdotal experimentation is likely not to suffice for your edification, feel feel to conduct the same experiment and find the same findings as I have.
No, it is fairly common among Java devs. In fact the culture there is that way. Most happen to come from banking sector, and other deep enterprise structures where things tend to move slowly. Design Pattern abuse is super common, and is widely used as a 'smartness signalling' tool. Generally it is not that much of a problem given attrition rates in those places is low. But it does cause lots of pain for people who join the team.

I was the happiest with when Python grew, not having to deal with things like 300 classes just to make a ping to some REST end point was a welcome thing.
>a device that is designed to compete with other devices 4x the price

That itself is marketing spin. It's not like studios are throwing away their reference monitors for the apple display. You can design anything to compete; winning is the important bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtd7UzLJHrU
I'm not covering all the exceptions, because exceptions = exceptions.

But even for wealthy people, stupid financial decisions will sink their ship. Mike Tyson won $300 million (a third of a billion dollars) and blew it all. Johnny Depp made $500 million (half a billion) and almost went broke with profligate spending and poor financial decisions.

There's a well-known saying - Poor to rich to poor in 3 generations. This means someone comes to America without a penny and they put their kid through school and that child makes hundreds of millions, but that child's child grows up with no respect for money and is fritters it away, and they end up poor.

This is why people who win the lottery or pro athletes go broke after 3 years of winning the lottery or out of the sport - they blow money.

Saying something like "Maybe they have a rich dad who will die soon and cover all their debts" shows a complete and total lack of respect for money. Anyone who thinks this way has a great chance of blowing all the money, unless they change their thinking. Why would making crappy financial decisions just because you have a rich dad make any sort of logic at all? It makes no sense. Why would one make poor financial decisions, just because they are going to come into some money? All it means is that this same person is going to continue to make poor decisions when their rich dad dies, run out of money and then complain about it when they are broke. Happens all the time.

That's reminded me of one problem I had with it back in 2010 - it didn't have indexes on expressions[1]. We had a few hundred million rows with unindexed timestamps (I forget if they were MySQL-native or just ISO8601 strings) and the higher ups wanted a daily aggregate report of some stuff which was, obviously, slow to generate because of having to truncate all the timestamps to just YMD[2].

For Postgres, I would have just created an index on (the equivalent of) `truncate(YMD, timestamp)` (and I demonstrated this as a POC to the higher ups as a good reason to switch to Postgres. But alas, no traction.)

Only time this annoyed me was when the provider started throttle my address. Specifically Pirate Bay did not work anymore.

If you change MAC, the provider will assign new IP-address. And then you use different port every day. Port will be day number plus X, which easy to remember and easy to automate.
Telling the government is not the same as telling you, the consumer.

That sounds like a hard hard real-time [1] problem, one that I would be very scared of trying to implement over USB to a PC. Especially if that PC runs a ordinary non-real-time operating system.

Sure, USB and a typical desktop-class CPU are easily fast enough to handle the bandwidth requirements, but I don't think you could safely uphold the latency requirements in order for the emulation to run well. There I said it, now some crazy h4cK3r can prove me wrong, and everyone wins! :)

One of the major learnings I had during my live is that major refactors rarely pay off. The true trick that worked was to learn how to pick features apart and migrate to new systems without taking what was working from production. You can deliver often and keep the sponsors in and iterate on learnings earlier, lots of knowledge is hidden on what was created and what problems were solved without being documented.
I used to go to the “99¢ Only” store and, let me tell you, everything doesn’t cost 99¢.

Frozen burritos did so I didn’t complain too much.
I'm not seeing details of how, though. Was it some leaked tokens? Employee credentials?

Also shouldn't this be called a security incident rather than event.

Yes, I think the next step should potentially be going towards cultured mixes of strains of bacteria that are known good that can be injected up in a solution, because while FMT can work really well, there seem to be some dangers to it depending on the donor.

Having cultured, tested mixes that could go through proper trials would potentially lower the risk quite a bit I think.

> In April 2022, we announced the Potato Diet Community Trial. We expected that the potato diet would be really hard to stick to and people would only lose a little weight, if any. But we were wrong — people said the potato diet was easy, enjoyable, and on average, people lost 10.6 lbs over 4 weeks.

Not surprising at all. This is the fad diet. Big business. Can they get to an ideal weight and stay there for 10 years (pregnancy excepted)? - is the real question!
Looked impressive until I saw the guitars ;)
I don't see how that helps. For example there are many publications available that calculate the cost of CO2, eg [1] from the German government. Yet global warming is still a problem.

So unprofessional for a security company to be hosting their code on GitHub and connecting with lots of silly integrations, access tokens, etc.

think about Mickey Mouse. It's STILL in active use by Disney. I feel like it SHOULD still be protected, even though its' been 75 years.

What about the Coca Cola Brand and Logo? It's also more than 100 years old. Can I start a 1:1 copycat, including logo and name?

It should probably be related to ACTIVE USAGE, not first mention.
I've had it happen to me quite literally; I've had two pairs of cheap boots not even last a month before the soles detached.

There's always a point of diminishing returns, but it doesn't really make much odds where that is if you've not got the money. If you've only got £20, it doesn't really matter that good long lasting boots can be bought for £50 not £300.
Wonder if we are ever going to known how this happened.

Curious to know if Okta themselves were using best practices such as only using a hardware token as 2FA (FIDO2) and disabling SMS 2FA and recovery.
Inheritance is not an exception. Quick Bing search shows that "68% of millennials expect an inheritance". So that might be the reason behind their behavior that you are not aware of.
I don't think they need the Internet. If you look at frequency hopping in military radios, and how GPS receivers pluck out the signal from below thermal noise floor, it seems entirely plausible to me they're just happily streaming audio and video over regular radio - but without the right key for a specialized receiver, not only you won't be able to listen in and transmit back, you won't even be able to prove there is a signal in the first place.
What once began as a revolution of communication in the form of text, images, and two-dimensional formatting is now evolving into new dimensions. The metaverse has been with us in one form or another for some time, but the progression of critical technologies has vastly pushed the envelope of how we define and use the web. As a business owner looking to remain competitive in the future, you need to stay informed on the technologies involved in this space if you are to develop applications and even entire digital worlds for your customers.

Let’s talk about what technologies are used in metaverse app development and how businesses can create their own metaverse applications.
If you google for "us bank data breach" you'll find plenty of examples of this happening and being disclosed. However banking regulations are strict and banks own systems are designed to be resistant to insider attacks. So everything usually designed to keep different kind of data within bank own systems isolated and audited.

In most of small and middle sized IT companies there is rarely any security measures against insider attacks or just accidental leaks if someone been too incompetent when it come to security. So leaks of sensetive data happen far more often since plenty of SWE and DevOps can easily get access to all the production databases.

As result deployment of some single line fix in code of some critical system in a major bank might easily take 3-6 months.

The diet people really want is the eat and drink what the hell you like in any quantity and lose weight. That would be a real hit.

The diet mentioned here is a restriction diet which is hard work. It is like the revelation of getting an extra $500/m side hussle by waiting tables.
Why not block all ip's that don't belong to your isp since you're the only one who'd need to ssh to your server? There are some good sources out there to find out your ip range
Agree. Furthermore, the fact that basically anyone can run their own relay makes it very decentralized.

Depends also on what you mean by the "Standard Library".

Back in the day Ruby had built in language features (e.g. Innumerable), and a standard library that was bundled into the distribution (e.g. GServer).

More recent versions of ruby have significantly streamlined the standard library, pushing a lot of the functionality into Gems (libraries). Given that the use of a Gemfile to list library dependencies is absolutely standard practice, the upgrade path simply involves adding a line to the Gemfile.

In practice, these changes have been very well signposted before they have happened.

I realize that. It’s definitely a choice since I like to travel light and walk a lot.
It's not really clear what your position is.
Are you against any sort of human intervention?
Or are you in favour of conservation but not restoration? (Try not to break stuff, but don't fix things we've broken).
Or do you think it's justifiable to perturb ecosystems for economic reasons, but not to attempt to restore them for aesthetic reasons (car parks are Ok, but safari parks are not)?
You have no argument there. The same people who care about butchering language and destroying society are the same people who don't care about facts or what's real.
Yea it is truly awful.. e.g. job search has become even worse than it was a few years ago. The only good platform (Stackoverflow) has closed its job search. Most jobs seem to be on Linkedin these days.

However for a while now Linkedin job search seemingly shows me random stuff.. I can search for C++ and find all kinds of Java, Javascript, PHP jobs. It is driving me mad.

Any recommendations for job search sites (maybe even with negative filters)? I know about Who is Hiring? of course but there are not too many jobs for my region usually.
I agree about how excessively long the current copyright laws can be, but there's a few things I wonder about that has to be done before that can realistically happen, along with several other related questions I got. Regardless of what happens in the end, any amount of copyright term reduction, even if that's only like 10 or 20 years, is better than nothing.

* How will the Berne Convention from the early 1900s be dealt with? Since multiple countries signed onto that, how can that be overridden or be repelled so that at least some countries can start to reduce copyright terms? I know there's a few countries that didn't sign onto this convention, but they don't enough power to cause major reforms to occur.

* I wish I could do it all myself, but I don't have enough money to convince most politicians to support such reforms. There's got to be some way I can easily gather like people who support such reforms. It's even harder if this has to happen outside of the United States for any meaningful reform to start. Where could I possibly get started on gathering like people for this purpose?

* I know about fanworks (such as fanart, fanfiction, and fangames) and the like, but unfortunately, such things aren't tolerated when they're mixed with open-source software or anything with similar licensing. How come many of those can stay up while being legally dubious (by way of using characters and/or settings from pre-existing mass media without explicit permission from the original rightsholder(s)), but open-source software doesn't get that same pass, even if only for non-commercial purposes? Even if many rightsholders would ignore such things for not being worth their time to take down, it still doesn't feel totally right if the law was strictly followed.

* If a (non-open source like) work gets delisted or removed from online stores or websites to the point where it can't be legally obtained anywhere (and hence can only be acquired via piracy), would that count as a publisher or author saying that they effectively revoked rights to such a work? Then if that work cannot be legally obtained anymore, would that also mean that that work can never enter the public domain unless it becomes available again in the future?

I ask these questions in order to reduce the likelihood that I end up with a DMCA notice sent against any of my fanworks, that could potentially hurt my chances for getting future jobs. Then that could have a domino effect of making my life very hard if this gets bad enough because of not being able to find a source of income because people got scared of me infringing their copyrights. I may be exaggerating these worries, but that's what could happen if I strictly followed the law.
The main problem of the podcast industry is the overwhelming amount of podcasts without trustworthy data about them. Podhash is trying to solve this.
Of course. It's a ridiculous idea. But there actually are people who claim he's playing some sort of 4D chess. Always without any idea of what he'd be trying to accomplish. This is the only one I've come across that actually makes some sort of sense in a very roundabout way. If you really believe that it's some genius 4D chess move, then this is the most plausible theory I've come across. But the sacrifice on his side would be enormous.
Why are they doing studies and not measuring lean mass vs. water vs. fat? Might as well have had shoes on the first weigh in and bare feet on the last one!
> the definition of a state is the monopoly on violence over a particular territory

As a non-US reader, I have never encountered this definition where I live. I understand what is meant, but it seems very much like a fear inducing frame; state = violence.

Maybe this is because where I live we have a different relationship with our government and law enforcement than the U.S., but to me it’s not at all “not remotely controversial”, at least in the way it’s phrased.
Note that you're whole comment is from the perspective of how you benefit from immortality.

If we think of some collective 'Gaia Hypothesis' rather than yourself, then keeping you (specifically) around forever is kind of a big commitment, no?

Perhaps you are just not that big of a deal to be worthy of keeping around? And how would you square keeping you around and not Joe? Is it resources based? Than we would be stuck with a collective of eternal wealthy people, which judging by the sample of mortals available today sounds pretty uninteresting.

Yes it's amazing and you're having your turn at it right now! Enjoy it and then pass it forward.

I did the exact same thing but had no issues.

I think the major issue is communication ability, social abilities, and all that. Someone can have the "ideal best" education, but without social skills, it all does not matter.

I've risen to the top of many (small, small) organizations because I understood about social skills and finding out who you need to know and get to be friends with in a company. Being friends with the right people gets you far, far, far ahead of anyone else.

I've also got all my jobs through cold outreach. I don't care, I'm pretty fearless and have done a shitload of tradeshows, and sales, and all kinds of stuff like that.

I think the thing that hold most people back is social skills and political skills and the ways one can become known as the experts in their industry.

It's all on youtube, if you look. Social skills, small talk, business politics, dressing appropriately (I spent a LOT of time at high end men's stores and read GQ from cover to cover for years). https://www.gq.com/ How one dresses is extremely important. Read it for a year or two, go to high end men's stores - Saks Fifth Avenue for example - https://www.saksfifthavenue.com/mens - go in, try stuff on. Look around.

I have friends that didn't go to university and are making mid to high six figures. If they can, so can you. Don't let your own mind defeat you, make it your ally.
It’s definitely a choice. I prefer to travel light even if it means I’ll be thirsty sometimes.
>>Quite a lot of the anti-Java, anti-abstraction, anti-complexity crowd seem to actually just be people who are one step above a sysadmin in their mental model of programming, don't see how large-scale programming is different from imperative scripting, don't understand that complex problems sometimes require complex/systematic solutions, and resist leaving their comfort zone.

May be you are the one refusing to leave the comfort zone. Fairly large chunks of programming ecosystem has moved to Golang, Rust and even other JVM languages like Kotlin for a reason. Most Python programmers today are Java refugees too.

Its just that the overall culture of Java is loaded with programmers who like to use senseless abuse of design patterns as some 'smartness signalling' mechanism. Endless layers and indirections to achieve even simplest of the tasks.

Using something like Golang and Python feels instantly less stressful and liberating when you go from Java to these languages.
Yes D2 is what current D version used to be called when D1 was still around, about 10 years ago.

I don't see them improving safety by much either. With the insane amounts of money in this industry, we would have heard about successes. Yet they are far and few between while data and identity theft is a known problem and all these "solutions" add to the danger.

I am very glad to live in a country where you have to just delete everything after a while, which includes data extracted from said material. I don't feel less safe because of that, although I would even prefer to not have these solutions at all.
