It’s not a good analogy. If I stress my bone hard, it strengthens. This is why someone that runs has heavier / stronger leg bones compares to a coucher.

On the car side, every time you bend a piece of metal it gets weaker. It cannot repair itself. It cannot get stronger from use.
Ruby happily allows this and I can't recall it ever being an issue. It's no more prone to errors than `x` being greater than the number of elements.

> x = -2

> arr[x]

=> "d"
Even if someone agreed with the premise of censorship or deplaforming, the list itself was very absurd. It was very arbitrary in that several common words were banned but chosen seemingly at random. Moreover, there was no ordering to the bans meaning "possibly offensive in an alternate universe" words were grouped with "even racists won't say this!" words
You’re talking about the fee your carrier charges for normal texts. These are “premium” charges, meaning the user is charged an extra fee on their bill regardless of their SMS billing plan.
You specify ownership of the work product in the contract. I believe the default in most jurisdictions is the client owns the work product (called work for hire) but the contract should always spell that out to avoid any misunderstanding.

You may have to consult an attorney to write the contract so you own the IP and grant a license to the client. The client may ask to pay for the license rather than pay for your time to write code they don’t own.
I use an open source app called Newpipe for watching YouTube. I don't think shorts work on it. Might be worth checking out.
> They are simpler to decode

One of the big headaches with x86 superscalar machines is that finding the instruction boundaries is hard. The decoders, looking ahead, may guess at alignment and decode bytes which represent a totally bogus instruction, which causes work that gets discarded further downstream. Intel and AMD did this very differently in the early days of superscalar.

If you're going to have a variable length instruction set, it would be nice if it worked like UTF-8, where you can start anywhere in a stream and get aligned within a few bytes. x86 is not like that.
I thought OpenAI was a non-profit? How does that affect the acquisition? Does that bound the acquirer to its missions?

I would want that system to log those changes to whatever monitoring system is being used, or integrate with the deployment system as a "deploy", so that when some oncall person is trying to figure out why the entire fleet is pegging their CPU, they can trace it back to the flag change.
surely not if the customer _explicitly requests_ that the communications are blocked? iirc in Aus it was possible to have your provider block messages to premium rate numbers back in the days when it was popular to buy ringtones.
I’m skeptical of the narrative that trades is some great career choice, but "Well if you aren't in one of the good areas you'll get fucked" applies to pretty much every career choice.
Yeah, then maybe just shorten `fun` to `f` or `fn` like elixir. I think even just one char makes a difference over thousands of LoC.
Solid rocket motors can be limited to a percentage of their maximum output while you're building the rocket! This really upped my game when I figured it out. I try to plan my first solid booster stage to end before I need to extend the gravity turn into orbit, so I can shed the solid rocket booster mass and make the best use of my liquid booster delta-V, and additionally so the jettisoned solid boosters don't end up in orbit with me.
No problem, they just need a firmware update to run the wheels in reverse.
The economic point stands that you aren't going to get a processor with only cache and no RAM because virtually no workloads want such an unbalanced system.
You might look into "joint ownership". You and the client(s) both can do whatever you want with it. In the contract, you might want to agree that the clients do not go into the business of selling the software to others, since that would compete with you. You need a contract, and a lawyer.

If you've finished the software and are not heavily customizing it for a client, then I believe that is more of a licensing plan. Just sell it. Again, lawyer.

I would not mess with a partnership. I don't have a good reason for this, but it seems to involve tighter coupling than I'd want.

Note: I'm not a lawyer (but I have sold semi-custom software to companies, without a lawyer; I would do it differently now but it worked out fine).
It seems pretty reasonable considering my 4-year old laptop with a "power hungry" 4K screen uses 4 watts in very light usage. For a start, they are probably using LPDDR5, just like phones.

A pulse of GTAW. You can set your welder to just give a short duration weld pulse, and you'd have it set so that a single pulse would complete the weld on the saw blades without using filler material. Search on youtube for people welding razor blades together to get an idea.
Also needs a microwave frequency rectifier, plus installation costs are non-trivial as evidenced by the difference between the cost/W of a PV cell and a PV farm.

Also, cheapest ground-based PV in the world is 1.04¢/kWh (Saudi Arabia), and the cheapest in the USA is 1.50¢/kWh (New Mexico), so 0.7¢/kWh is already a large percentage.

You are not in a position to be giving your (ex?) wife and kids $3000 a month when you are currently unable to get a job paying even a low amount for subsistence existence of your own. Get whatever work you can so you can pay rent for some small basic room somewhere, and food for yourself, and petition the court to greatly lower your support obligations for now given your incapacity to earn. Only once you are back on your feet and able to support yourself can you consider supporting your family.

On the other hand we now have waterless urinals. Maybe plumbing tech and equipment costs have eliminated some jobs and made some jobs less skilled as it cheaper just to replace than do repairs that take knowledge.

Software jobs are many X what they were 30 years ago, while I doubt plumbing jobs have change that much above what they were relative to the population 30 years ago.

Tangential, but inflation is so high, we could all be earning millions by the end of the decade.
I dunno, I studied psychology at a good-but-not-great university and knew many psychology majors. I eventually Learned to Code (TM), but it seems that plenty of my peers leveraged those soft skills you mentioned to get pretty decent career-oriented jobs in the fields you mentioned. I would probably do things differently with the benefit of hindsight, but I have no doubt that the soft skills were a benefit to my peers, and even to me in my tech career.
Totally agree. But it's usually more complicated.

For example, MongoDB supports Ubuntu 20.04, but not 22.04:
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb...

Or another example - folks in a large company successfully running Ubuntu 12.04 in production for 10 years and cannot upgrade it because some Perl dependencies of their amalgamation of microservices working slightly differently.
Looks very interesting. How well does this handle different accents? Say an Australian child moved to the US, would this work?
I don't think iOS's SOS feature is feasible from a paraglider. You have to point it at a specific direction for a while to get a message out. An air band radio at 121.500 (emergency frequency) would make more sense (with the required permits of course)

InReach should work well though from a paraglider as a primary SOS.
The carrier offers the pay-per-call/sms service to a business (like your phone sex operator). The carrier charges the fee and some percentage is given to their customer.

So, rent one of their numbers with a fee attached, get a bunch of CAPTCHA texts sent to your number. Your carrier charges Twilio some amount for each call, then sends you a check for some percentage of that.

I'm not sure that counts as a "stake". He did found the company so I'm sure he still has connections there.
Yeah, let's just derail into a subthread bickering about what threshold counts as a major metro area, vs meaningfully engaging with the actual topic at hand.

so tired of this story, sorry
I'd gently suggest that if you wanted me to have that context when interpreting your statement, you could have provided it in your original statement or provided it now blamelessly, rather than framing this as a deficiency on my part that I failed to use my crystal ball to determine you were an embedded programmer. (I do very similar things at the application level, for what it's worth.)

I believe the solution I proposed remains viable in that context or for that usage. If I defined a constant for the magic memory address one writes to to configure the MMU, and you and to understand how I implemented context switching, you could navigate to my constant and find usages.

If that solution doesn't work for you, no worries, it was just a suggestion/observation.
you will find that maintaining schema consistency during migrations will be more trouble than its worth
> I left Google six months ago, and don't work in ads anymore.

But you did work there, and you keep saying the same things over and over again.

> and (my interpretation is) the GDPR requires consent (including the ability to say no without consequences) for that.

You posit your incorrect interpretations as if they were fact. And you keep on conflating several things into one. Even though you've had plenty of time to, you know, read something about the things you're talking about.

1. Not all ads need to be personalised ads. No, personalised ads are not a requirement. No, if it doesn't mean that you can't have ads at all.

2. No, fraud detection doesn't mean your ads are personalised. No, fraud detection doesn't mean that your ads must be personalised.

3. No, fraud detection doesn't mean you need to collect personalised data beyond what's necessary for fraud detection. No, fraud detection doesn't mean you can willy-nilly use that data in anything other than fraud detection. No, fraud detection doesn't mean you can use that data for personalised ads, sell that data to third parties, or keep that data indefinitely long.

And yet, here we are, again, when you keep saying that these three disparate things are one and the same and that "GDPR is an overreach that prevents sites from showing ads". You keep repeating the same falsehoods over, and over, and over again. Please, stop.
Site loads instantly for me with JS disabled but after that I've never seen anything like it. It's all narrow columns overlapping.
I love how it's "public" land just as long as it goes completely unutilized.

Seriously though, it's heartbreaking to see the governments pervasive take on conservation of land. Here in MA the policy is to basically locate every trail in every woods, install a gate in front of it, add a sign to kick out all the OHRVs that made the trail in the first place, put a bunch of benches and signage and what amounts to trash all over the place, and then add another sign inviting all the crunchy granola Karen's to come walk their dog and do yoga in nature.

Because appearantly riding 4 wheelers is bad. Kids should be on the streets doing drugs instead. And only Karen's go to town meetings so they are the only ones who get a voice. My taxes don't count.
It isn't - perhaps you might like to form better phrased comments to clearly indicate you're restricting yourself to a tiny sunset of the world when making broad sweeping statements rather than annexuring post restrictions after the fact.
>A lot of these threads devolve into "have you tried paying more" but I'd also like to highlight "have you actually tried telling Gen Z that".

Trust me, once the all-in comp/lifestyle of a welder becomes better than say a paralegal, you won't need to tell anybody anything, they'll find you.
In haskell (and elm) it's `\` which is quite OK (and also a nod to the lambda symbol λ).

But yes "fn" is quite nice (taking over "f" is a bit much). And a few characters can definitely degrade the experience, especially as "u" and "n" are typed with the exact same finger.

Anonymous functions were definitely one of my least favorite features in Erlang, not because they don't work well but because their leading keyword is "fun" and there's an arrow between the (parenthesised) parameters and body and they also have a closing keyword "end":

map(fun(X) -> 2 * X end, [1,2,3,4,5]).

That's a bit much.

But HoFs in general are quite awkward, as referring to a named function also requires the `fun` leading keyword, and requires specifying the arity, so

map(fun double/1, [1,2,3,4,5]).

after having defined the function as

double(X) -> 2 * X.

(as you can see Erlang would really rather you defined named functions).
While arguably true, none of that is helpful.

Have these past issues come up at some juncture during your pursuit for work or applying for jobs? Or are you instead fearful that it might if you try?

Primary thought is: be honest—you've explained your situation here, do similar if you need to elsewhere. Your (past crime) story at face-value wouldn't affect my assessment of you for a technical role.

Second thought is: apply for jobs with a "professional name". Not uncommon. Your first name + your middle name, perhaps. At some point, HR will need to see/know your official name, but that's for book-keeping...you may even be able to have your corp email reflect your professional name, and only your W2 having the true record. If at any point the issue of the past comes up, simply be honest. Should that be grounds for firing you, or not hiring you, so be it. Find an outfit that will understand and give you a fair shot.
Aren't baked potato chips generally cooked in oil?

I agree that nutrition is complicated, and I am in no way an expert, but I really don't think we need to get so complicated to live a moderately healthy lifestyle.

In general most people know what foods they should be avoiding. I'm not saying stop eating avocados and almonds (although I've heard avocados use a ridiculous amount of water to farm). I am saying maybe don't chow down on potato chips, pizza and then eat a muffin - and then repeat roughly the same diet the next day... when I think of fatty foods, these are the types of food that come to my mind (and I'm assuming that's what comes to mind for the general population as well).

Of course if we go down a technical track or move away from the general population nutrition gets complicated super quickly.

On the subject of vegetable oils, this is why I say to avoid them - https://chriskresser.com/how-industrial-seed-oils-are-making...

Lastly, bacon is delicious.

Here's some more of my non-expert opinion: delicious things should be eaten in moderation.
Were falling through the computer literacy gap between SMS MFA and authenticator/Yubikey MFA at the moment. While an IT person can do password managers (with secure backups) authenticators, passkeys, and biometrics, all with half-decent opsec, the average user can barely do more than a couple of passwords for everything, and SMS MFA.

It's absolutely critical that the companies we support vastly improve their security, but there's no way to get there from here with their staff, lack of any established processes, and zero training infrastructure.
Good writeup on using LiteStream at this early stage, though I wouldn't say it's production-ready based on a skim, though it might be a good fit for read-heavy apps which don't have a lot of data.

One thing that's not clear to me is whether Litestream+SQLite works in-memory. If Litestream wrote to disk on the primary node, but kept the full DB in-memory for facilitating reads, I can definitely see how it would be a lot faster than Postgres (as the author claims).

Though I'd also like to know if any RDBMSs have been designed for that use case, as I'd imagine traditional DB optimizations have been made for high incidence of disk access that would no longer hold true if the entire DB was in-memory
Have you tried using AI / ML to solve this problem? I feel like letting it generate optimum load and trajectory would be an interesting challenge.

Also, Helium payouts seem to be based on amount of clients in a zone, which would make this pretty pointless.

Helium hype really makes it difficult for other real IoT networks to operate also, like The Things Network, the operators of which do it for free (including myself). Why does everything have to be a moneymaker?
What I mean is that he should consider how he's explaining these crimes to the prospective employer, and if there is perhaps anything different he can say to help put their minds at ease.

But the cards are stacked against him. As he flashed teenagers, from which I assume he didn't mean 18/19 year olds (otherwise he would have said so), that's a huge red flag that most likely will automatically exclude him from a large amount of professional employment.

As a hiring manager, I would also be concerned about the impact on female employees, who need to feel safe at work. The gender imbalance in tech, and dealing with inappropriateness from some male employees, is bad enough already - hiring known sex offenders doesn't help with this at all.

I don't say all this to be rude or judgemental, but to just be clear on how it will look from the hiring manager side. There's no point in providing false hope or platitudes. Unless he gets lucky with a company that's willing to overlook all this, he most likely needs to take a very different approach to employment than the one he's been trying.
Why not? It's not like they are required to collect email addresses to offer their services.
I remember seeing something in the late 90s / early 2000s (when I was in college) that broke down the incomes of liberal arts majors who went to law school and those who didn't. It should have convinced me to switch to STEM, but all it did was convince me to go to law school.
11B is for Amazon as a whole, some parts of it in fact in deep trouble. So it is not really the case that "they don't need to lay anyone off", they have to do something stop the bleeding even the whole company is still making money.

Also there is not much Amazon can actually do either, since they actually ran a very efficient the retail business, but the inflation just tips off the balance of its revenue model so much.

When politics touch the economy, that's where little locally strategy change can help.

I doubt this is an advantage in the long term. Big companies work hard to protect their revenue source so they tend to overlook opportunities that threaten their income. Google should have had a product already but they claim they want to make sure it's safe before they produce one. That's admirable but ultimately it will bite them in the ass. Google is protecting their reputation along with their ad business which is basically a money printer. Small startups don't care they just want to survive one more day so they are willing to take chances. That's a huge advantage over the big players.

Who knows what the future will bring but I know we are at the beginning of a major change.

Quote me gaslighting you.

You accused me of it twice without evidence.

First time, you thought I wanted you to believe people, and that since you didn't, you were panicked. I never said that. You did. The comment I linked explained to another commenter why I don't want them to trust anyone. I replied to you that I don't want you to accept anything that's unacceptable to you. And the panic refers to inability to engage in the conversation.

Second time, you accused me of not acknowledging past lies. But I had already said that the nuclear industry would have to address past bad behavior. And like I said, you shouldn't be trusting people anyway.

You argued with yourself. You gaslit yourself. You cry-bullied yourself. You had a melt down. I told you I wasn't saying those things. You said I was. Repeatedly. That's on you.

And why would you think that I have some super secret new information specifically for you? I don't know you. I don't know what you know or don't know. It was a general comment about how some people would rather throw a tantrum instead of talking like a normal person.
