“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master – – that’s all.”
If you are 17 and have already being doing sec research for 3 years... well, why do you have trouble choosing between smart contracts and browser security? From my point of view, you could do both.

More seriously, if you haven't already, brush up your math/physics skills to get ready for university, and do either computer science or software engineering. It's only 3 or 4 years but the diploma will last you forever. Since you seem like a smart guy, getting the degree will be very easy for you. You thank me later, when you are 40.
On the other hand until very recently, the rules for turning vehicles were less in favour of pedestrians in the UK – drivers were only required to give way for pedestrians that had already started crossing (whereas in Germany the corresponding rule also includes pedestrians that are only *about to cross), and every time I was on holiday in the UK, I found the difference to be indeed noticeable, with drivers executing turns noticeable more "aggressive".

Relatively recently, that rule was changed in the UK, though how fast that affects actual driving behaviour remains to be seen. Meanwhile in Germany though crossing against as a pedestrian still remains illegal – the only mitigating circumstance is that unlike for vehicular infractions, the fine for pedestrians hasn't been increased and for now remains a nominal 5 € (10 € with endangerment).

Presidency is a position. You need a heap of advisers and legal executives to handle this.
I'd argue that the president themself is not as powerful in making people believe something as digital media in general is.
> spent $13 billion of borrowed money on the acquisition.

Assuming Twitter is breaks even otherwise (give or take a few hundred million) for it to hit 4 billion wouldn't that be like 30% interest? Not impossible, but that seems really high to me.

This has his unsecured loans at something like 11%[0] that seems more reasonable and would have the loans costing around one and half billion.

Were Amigas considered to be exclusively entertainment machines, or did they try to get people to use them for work? I grew up with an IBM XT my dad had on loan from his job, and got the impression that everything else was a (cooler) gaming computer.
One of the big cons of this brand of immortality is that there is a pretty reasonable probability that if you manage to get uploaded at all someone will use copies of the result for horrific experiments or even just entertainment. You could wake up in hell, basically.

Seems to me anyone who thinks this option is strictly better than death lacks imagination.
> But APL programs are often cryptic and hard to decode. Some have joked that it is a “write-only language” because even the author of a program might have trouble understanding it later.

So the original Perl?
That's not true at all, it was always ('always') 'they' when unknown. I was taught as much in school well before all this.

It's a big and bizarre step to throw out 'he' and 'she' completely for all known men and women until such time as they confirm that yes they indeed are men and women, just to satisfy the miniscule proportion of them who are not. The exceptional ones should be the ones to point it out and then we can just say 'oh ok sure sorry' and move on.

> someone's gender you don't want to assume

Unless they look like someone who 'might not want their gender assumed', I'm perfectly happy assuming peoples gender, because it will be correct in the vast vast vast majority of cases.
Even since the start of python typing, it was recommended to use a more generic type like Iterable instead of List. The author claims that List is too specific -- this seems like a straw man argument against typing that doesn't acknowledge python's own advice.

Also, mypy has gotten really good in recent years and I can vouch that on projects that have typing I catch bugs much much sooner. Previously I would only catch bugs when unit testing, now they are much more commonly type errors.

The other thing typing does is allow for refactoring code. If anything, high code quality relates to the ability to refactor code confidently and typing helps this. Therefore I would put it at the top of the list above all the tooling presented (exception I agree with ci/cd)

True, at this point you can get a similar page with about.me , but:

- about.me takes a few minutes to create a profile because they show a form with a lot of steps, so you have to do a lot of thinking just to put together a simple page.

- about.me requires uploading a photo to create a profile, and it's not possible to have a website without a personal photo. Veonid requires only a name and description.

- about.me shows a job title or "tags" next to a name. Veonid doesn't.

- about.me shows a background color by default, which can be excessive for some. Veonid is just white background and plain text, so it's more universal.

- about.me allows creating only 1 profile per account. With Veonid, you can create multiple profiles from 1 account — for example, if you want to create a profile for someone else, or another profile for yourself but with a different content or for a different purpose.
Many of the suggested entries are no different than the allegedly problematic word and phrases. What is the difference, practical or otherwise, between “committed suicide” and “died by suicide”?

Also, if anyone from Stanford is reading, “balls to the wall” refers to the operation of a centrifugal governor. It is not a reference to male anatomy.
I will always remember this incident as the time when the UK general public were exposed, en masse, to Spring error messages.

> Most of the high-end VFX/CG industry uses Linux for both workstations

How do they deal with HDR content? As far as I know it's not supported yet and the colour management is lacking, which seems like a big problem for today's content.
By the time x86 was really competitive architecturally with 68k -- by which I mean non-segmented, 32-bit, etc -- it was already too late for Commodore and Atari. They were already pretty much dead financially.

Both sold PC clones, and I suspect if those lines had been very successful $$ wise they may have attempted to do something like what you said. Or more likely some kind of Amiga-esque runtime environment overtop of (choke, gag) DOS. We would have all screamed bloody murder about it though.

In any case, AmigaOS and Atari's TOS were pretty heavily tied into the 68k ecosystem. Switching ISAs would have really been starting over.

Moving from 68k to PowerPC almost killed off Apple, and they were many multiples the size of Commodore & Atari.

Myself I made the switch from 68k Atari ST to 486+early-Linux in 1992. At that point we were already doing Unix-like things on the Atari (MiNT with unix ports, or, on the 030/020 systems, full NetBSD Unix), so it felt like a natural jump. SVGA + a 486 was a pretty damn competitive workstation-like system at that point.
Few people mention it, but whether (dynamically) "linking" to a library makes it a derivative work is closely related to the GOOGLE v. ORACLE case. The issue with dynamic linking is basically "copying the API (and ABI)". Unfortunately the USSC didn't really give a clear ruling on this one.
But, categorically speaking, the issue with bullies is more the bullying and less their word choice. If someone is bullying using bland language that is exactly the same magnitude of problem as any other form of bullying.

All these new terms are going to be discriminatory in a few years as the bullies learn to use them. Telling someone that they are uncool will have as much sting as retarded, because it will mean exactly the same thing if the word retarded leaves the lexicon.

> You can’t be the one deciding if people are hurt or not, it’s their call.

I've spent a huge amount of time, literal years, learning to think in a flexible way so that I can wind my mind away from taking offence. It takes a lot of practice to develop that sort of engulfing calm. Also very rewarding, I recommend the practice. Good for a comfortable life and all that.

Sure they can make the call that they are offended, but I am conciously making the call that I am not offended. Is it really fair that after all that effort I have to contort my speech to avoid setting people off? I'm already worrying about my own offended-ness and now I'm supposed to be working around theirs as well. What are they going to do to balance all that effort out?

It is better if we all worry about our own emotions and work with what other people say. We all have responsibilities to civil discourse. Those responsibilities include tolerant listening. Getting antsy because someone runs a blind study is a long way from tolerant listening and an academic setting deserves better than that.
FYI most people don't actually do that in the Netherlands. I know people on youtube claim all Dutch drivers are taught this but that's not true. I've never seen someone use that technique.
$10k is easily double what a beast workstation has traditionally cost. Yes, you've been able to configure Mac Pros or iMac Pros for similar prices in the past, but it's always been the ultra high-end with niche use cases, currently if you max out a Mac Studio you're up to around $10k.

That's with 20x general compute cores, 32x neural engines, and 64x GPU cores, 128GB RAM, and 8TB of storage. I guess it's probably useful for 8K video workloads, but not much else.

If the article is right and they're targeting a $10k base price for the Extreme version of the chip, then they better get it VERY right for it to be worth the effort, and I wouldn't expect many customers to be lining up regardless.
> 1Password 8 requires iOS 15, so the updates that you're paying for as part of your subscription model require that you pay for a new phone to get them.

That assumes that iOS 15 requires a new phone... which isn't the case. Apple generally has an excellent track record of supporting older devices when they release new major OS versions.

Taking a look at the devices that support iOS 15[0], the oldest one appears to be the iPhone 6S... which was released in 2015. So you could theoretically use the new 1Password 8 on iOS 15 on a phone that is 7 years old. No need to pay for a new phone.

Everything you say can be vice-versa said and will apply too (or if it does not apply, it's a subjective IMHO).

A restaurant has an interest in keeping customers happy, and keep recurring customers growing.

I would also expect, that the average cloud user made a mistake a professional should not have made and is now trying to get out of it the easy way. I mean, what do you expect if you post your credentials to GitHub (just an assumption)? Same as if you order wine without looking at the price. Your fault.

Also, a single bottle of 200$ is minuscule compared to the monthly/yearly renting fee a restaurant needs to pay, which can be many thousands.

Long story short: IMHO it all comes down to how good one can tell that it's really a mistake and there were multiple mistakes which could hardly be avoided which lead to this issue.

Without even having got around to reading the whole report yet, I can promise you that a f*ckup on this scale cannot be avoided solely through technology decisions. The problem was (is always) with the people and the structures they were working in.
The DOL has salary brackets based on job title, experience, and location but I'm sure there's a way for employers to stick H1B workers into experience brackets below where they should be, locate their H1B workers in offices in cheaper locations, or just simply pay them less than their domestic coworkers while still meeting the salary requirements.
FYI I read the first sentence of your reply and stopped.
I agree. I think what happened with the laptop thing during the electrical is a huge embarrassment to the US, lol.

Like... I've got no horse in this race since I'm from Europe, and I'm generally more left leaning. But here's what this looks to (most) Europeans: it honestly seems like the election got "rigged" in Bidens favour by a coordinated campaign to paint Trump as an idiot (although, I think he does a great job himself of that already). But all that effor for what? They can set up a senile President that can't even remember he's on stage half the time. Someone more inclined to conspiracy theories might say he's just a puppet. Although, I think he's probably not viable for that either due to his declining mental health

Yes, I'm still on the fence as to whether the above comment was genuine (in which case I truly can't understand it) or meant as some kind of sarcastic denunciation of this list by showing that you can always find a remote reason to be offended.
it continues to baffle me that they haven't yet reintroduced this model. It was always an assumption of mine, perhaps incorrectly, that that model was a design/engineering experiment that was just the wrong side of the line on practicality but served as a market test for that form factor.

Anecdotally it seemed very popular, and loved by the people who bought one. Perhaps the numbers said otherwise, because otherwise I have no idea why they didn't reintroduce it as an M1/M2 machine.

Perhaps, and this is maybe just being hopeful, they're waiting for the even better efficiency of the M3 etc before reintroducing it because they want to do it, but absolutely nail it when they do without any battery life compromise. After all, they already ran the market demand test, so this would make sense if so. If that turns out to be the case I'll almost certainly buy one.
No technology can compensate poor planning and technical incompetence. From all I read that was the root cause of the problem. So the same people and processes using Kubernetes: No.

I think the big box Amigas were more common across the pond, used for work stuff, in the US than they were in Europe, where the Amiga 500 sold relatively big numbers and was a big gaming machine in the late 80s/early 90s.

Why Petulant Oligarchs Rule Our World
I see this initiative differently, as a way to educate people how their choice of words can affect those around them. I don't see any hard "rules" here, so much as describing phrases that could be harmful, in context. I just now learned quite a bit from just reading words from the Abelist category.

I suppose this resource could be used to more effectively sanction individuals who consistently demonstrate behavior harmful to those around them. It could be referenced early and often, so that repeat offenses more quickly lead to dismissal. Even so, I don't see this as good or bad. At least the word list and rationale is explicit. A wrongful dismissal can challenged, or even litigated, no?

Cannot this reference be used to better defend someone who uses a poor choice of words as their sole offense? There are so many words and phrases enumerated, it aptly demonstrates just how challenging and context dependent things are. That quadriplegic, for example, is listed tends to undermine the validity of listing actually offensive phrases. Conversely, the explanation of "basket case" and "spaz" were quite informative to me; I don't use these words, but, it's useful to better understand why they could be offensive.

Addendum: I think this particular document is inappropriately broad, including phrases that have no business being here. That said, the same text with a conservative scope seems it could be helpful, at least for educating authors who may not be aware of the nuances some of these phrases have. For example, "going off the reservation" is quite offensive once you understand the history of this phrase. People may use phrases like this without knowing its ugly reference, when a better fitting phrase could be used.
Clearly it's impossible to be a Twitter participant & moderator & objective as PG explained recently in a comment.

The real question is what should Twitter 2.1 (3.0?) look like? From both a social-media user and business perspective.

So far all social media follow advertising business model and inevitably skew the platofm towards what advertisers will consider a safe space for their brand.

There are studies indicating a somewhat left-wing bias of large companies and social-media but is it really a problem?
I read somewhere that views morerately centre-left more accuratly fit with reality. On top of that being optimistic about the future
also correlates with all (or most) left wing policies evntually coming true.

But somehow we fell into a culture war or are made to believe there is a culture war ongoing because this maximises clicks.
Majority of people are centrist / neutral and are not really catered to by the media - perhaps getting more neutral content in fron of the reader is the way forward - but
neutral content does badly on click metrics. Is advertising model of the web the root of all evil ??

The standard PC floppy drive (if you can still find one of those) is technically incapable of reading Amiga disks because the method to encode bits is different, and the PC floppy drive does the decoding in hardware before the software gets access to it. The Amiga floppy drive just sent the raw data to the computer, and the software would pass it through some dedicated hardware to decode it, but the software had the option of doing the decoding differently, which is why the Amiga can read PC floppies but not the other way around.

Third-party floppy drives with the raw data access such as greaseweazle can access Amiga floppy disks.

Then you need to decode the filesystem. There are tools for that.

Once you have the files, it is likely that the music will be in MOD format. The music player mikmod will play these quite happily. Sampled sound will likely be in IFF or WAV format, and most sensible sound apps should be able to load these. The images are likely to be in IFF format, and something like GIMP should be able to load them.

Funny how two people can have radically different experiences.

I have lived 10 years in northern Germany as an immigrant from a poor eastern European country, never experienced anything other than kindness and openness. And yes, many of my compatriots are renowned for crime in Western Europe, so my adoptive country would have had real reasons to be xenophobic towards me.

If anything, Germany is a bit too open, as 2015 and the ensuing problems proved.

I started mountain biking in the past year, and it's interesting to think about how this applies to that sport. There's a common refrain that you aren't getting better if you aren't falling, which really bothers me. In part, I think it's intended as a consolation, trying to find an upside in something that sucks. But there is also a sense that if you aren't pushing beyond your boundaries, you can't improve, and therefore if you aren't falling, you must be stagnating.

This narrative is so compelling because there is a certain underlying truth to it. You don't really appreciate how effective your tires are until you reach that boundary where they start to slide out. You need to jump a few times before you get a feeling for how to jump. You can minimize your risk in other ways, but you can't eliminate it entirely.

But on the whole, it feels like there is a culture within mountain biking (though certainly not amongst all riders) that you should always be pushing your boundaries to improve and that if you are eking out thinks out at 99% or whatever like the guy talks about in the article, you're doing things right.
IMO "died by suicide" trivializes it more than "committed suicide" because when you commit to something it shows intention. It shows the committer decided to kill themselves. I don't understand how that can be interpreted as trivial. By saying "died by suicide" it comes across as if they didn't have agency, it's as if their were a victim of certain circumstances, had no choice in the matter and that it was a foregone conclusion that they'd kill themselves.

With that said, I think it's all hair splitting in the first place. Whether someone says died by suicide or committed suicide. It's a tragic act and a tragic event and it makes me sad that it happens.
