Which practice? The article mentions theaters banning attendees who had panned their shows (or said nasty things about the owners’ families); there is no precedent for the practice of banning attorneys from shows just because they happen to work for a firm that has litigation pending against the venue.
Normally yes. I worked at a large used bookstore that would do this: interior decorators, realtors, and film crews would either purchase or rent large numbers of books. Renting would be cheaper, of course, as long as the books returned in good condition (which they sometimes did not). The labor involved was often very great, since most of those books came from their proper spots on shelves and then had to be reshelved (although we kept some nice looking sets that were frequently used for this). What was needed often had certain parameters too (e.g., books with blue spines, only leather-bound volumes, or only a certain height).

What surprises me in this case is that the realtor actually cared about the content of books. The vast majority know that people won't actually look at the titles and just care about the ambiance created.
I'm not a KDE usr, but in KDE's defense, when you typed "mo" it seems like it assumed "monitor" would be the search phrase instead of "mouse". In that case, both are valid use cases and to me, it's not that weird.

However, I'd prefer something which weighs application names over some other metadata.
> If you want to get mad about wasted wealth, get mad about global military budgets and war. That's just blowing shit up and we spend hundreds of times more on that than either space or sustainable development.

I can't think of a single period in history where there was no war being waged anywhere. As fundamentally non-violent/anti-war I can be, conflict seems inevitable, historically speaking. Getting mad at military spending in this context sounds about as constructive at getting angry at the sky for being blue.
They sell them to other bookstores. Or try to, anyhow, and that is not necessarily a good idea, since (especially in the used and rare bookstore world) owners often know each other. I worked at a used bookstore and a friend of the owner who had their own store was robbed: a few days later, the thieves showed up with boxes of books taken from that store. Thankfully the owner of my store realized it right away and the thief was caught.

The languages are not at fault. The fallible users of them are.

This is identical to me writing a garbage sentence in English and then proclaiming that English as a language is wrong and needs to be replaced because it's perfectly possible to write something grammatically incorrect in it.

Surely you can see the difference but are conflating use of the language with the language itself.

> They were the dominant paradigm for a long time. You haven't been around long enough.

I've only been programming for about 30 years, so yes still quite young, but during that time the C++/Java style object model has been king, and while it is based on objects, they are definitely not oriented. For orientation you need, at very least, message passing.

When was oriented programming popular and not just a cool novelty that rises up from time to time?

> Doesn't seem like a relation. Seems like you're referring to a single table with no relationship to other tables specified.

A table is represented by a relation[1], yes. A relation isn't a join. A relation is a set of tuples, by literal definition.

Does your confusion here stem from not being familiar with the relational model?

> String manipulation is what an orm does for you.

What string manipulation is required in the ORM phase? You must be thinking of query building, but that's a completely different level of abstraction. Many ORM toolkits also bundle query builders, but you could create an ORM toolkit that expects one to write SQL by hand. They are not intrinsically linked. In fact, most ORM toolkits, even those which come with query builders, do allow you to write SQL by hand if you prefer.

The Great Salt Lake drainage basin is pretty large - about half of Utah, part of southern Idaho, and Nevada and Wyoming's borders with Utah.[1] But the economic value of that agriculture is small relative to its water use. 82% of Utah's water goes to agriculture, mostly hay, and most of the hay is alfalfa, which accounts for 41% of Utah's water use all by itself.[2] Yet that thirsty hay is less than 1% of Utah's GDP.[3] It's another demonstration of how bad our societal framework is at dealing with spread-out, gradual, externalized costs. It's a failure that I fear is going to painfully wreck us, probably during my lifetime.

so far ifa syscall is beyond bounds of a nix call then it is filtered over to a win syscall. main problem is the additional layers cost time and makes problems for realtime runtime requirements for FPRPS games and real time procedural rendering. there is also the problem of software anticheats and DRMish functions crying foul if the code is manipulated, or processed in an odd manner.

Speaking about evidence, where you get that quote from? Sounds oddly out of character of Woz, doesn't seem like something he would say about Jobs, even less so at his funeral.
For 1., the author used Ameo (the weird activation function) in the first layer and tanh for others, later on notes:

"While playing around with this setup, I tried re-training the network with the activation function for the first layer replaced with sin(x) and it ends up working pretty much the same way. Interestingly, the weights learned in that case are fractions of π rather than 1."

By the looks of it, any activation function that maps a positive and negative range should work. Haven't tested that myself. The 1 vs π is likely due to the peaks of the functions, Ameo at 1 and sine at π/2.

Regardless, it's not Ameo.
Such a nice and touching story... now excuse me while I go and clean something that got into my eye.
Good points. I myself would be happy to see va_args disappear but it'd require work from the maintainers of the compilers etc. which is unlikely to get support, I guess?

How to implement a web-based rich text editor in 2023
I'm going to answer anyway because I can read subtext and don't like people making such assumptions about me: one of them went to jail after putting me in the hospital. The other was an extreme helicopter parent with no concept of their own identity outside of being my parent.

I do not have children of my own, and don't plan to. I think you have the causation backwards, though: this is an effect of my unusual views on families and parenting, not a cause.

(Invariably, around this point, someone snarkily tells me it's a good thing I don't have kids. I unironically agree. Most people shouldn't, and I am very much in that group.)
You should consider two most important things (unfortunately, each other opposite):

1. Yes, better to start own business when favorable environment, for example, when see macroeconomic grow (now recession, and high probability of crisis), or when You have some money accumulation.

2. But business is by definition, PRACTICE of make stakes and earn profits on success.

- You will not practice if not try. And best practice at crisis.

Exist good solution of this contradiction. If You could afford it, look out at nearest to You business community (offline), and find experienced mentor, to mentor You and You'll pay him from Your current payment.

Any way, early start business is much better then late. Mostly, because when You younger, You have more health, and could do things faster.
Of course there is extraction of a raw pointer or reference. But that's a perfectly normal way of writing C++. An object that owns something hands a non-owning pointer to another thing with the assumption that the owning object will outlive the thing that uses the pointer. But people make mistakes and fuck up lifetimes and then you have a UAF.

If you never call .get() on a unique_ptr then you'll be okay. But that's often not a workable design.

I always told them that i'm not looking full time but only part time but that only did work once I think. Most success came from building a small persona online, participating in the discussions, networking on Discords/Twitter and then the opportunities came.
Small groups of 1+ with a vision isn't really software engineering though. You aren't building to solve someone else's problem and it's that which is engineering. Turning up to the beach with bricks and cement on a whim with mates to create a small damn because it's your vision?
Well that's kind of build it and (hope) they will come.

Or to be kinder. If you are filling your own hole (identified need) you can be more free in your approach. After all only you decide if it's right, finished, a failure or success.

It's all about the cost equation - cost of producing this stuff where it's needed, when it's needed. Vs the cost of drilling, hauling, refining, shipping, storing ordinary fuels.

Trouble is, we've raised the scale on all those things to the point it's hard to compete with small local carbon-fuel plants. Small will always struggle to complete with huge.
I've done this - with Web Development, but still got projects this way. I just responded to the recruiter or directly to the company if I had their info, and stated my background, my rate, and asked if they were interested in working with my in a contractor capacity. It's gone very well, and I have several ongoing contracts from this process.

Basically just state that you are interested in the work, but not the current agreement and see if the company is open to hiring you as a contractor. If your experience is good and viewable/provable, they probably will be. And Bonus points if you are a good communicator and timely with such and delivering deadlines - many contractors are not and companies/recruiters get burned by them and those who ARE dependable are worth their weight in gold to companies.
That's probably overstated but directionally correct. I know people landing new jobs. I also know of people who have been looking for quite a while and there's no particular reason to think things will improve this year. In general, if someone doesn't like where they are, they should by all means start looking around--but I wouldn't quit on the assumption I can find something better next week or next month.
> arguing its misanthropic is a emotional response without much through.

Fallacious to say the least. I've explained the reason on why I think it implies that, which is: "people that makes that affirmation with no data or maths to back it up". Which I think is a quite reasonable thing to ask. You reducing it to a "is an emotional response" is a very poor take and bad reading.

Regarding your initial question. I am sorry but I don't see the correlation. The Black Death, for instance, killed between 75 and 200 million people back in 1340-1350 where world population was approx 350,000,000. Following your reasoning, this shouldn't had happened?

Initially, I was expecting from you to give a decent argument like: "There is a strong correlation between wealth, development and low birth rates". Then, based on that, talk perhaps about incentivicing sustainable economic growth. But nope, just talking about reducing humanity by "incentivicing" without being specific or considering the grave implications and then later, talking about your guessing on how covid wouldn't have been a problem.
i should preface this by saying that my knowledge here is entirely theoretical, and i'd be interested in knowing if i'm mistaken. as i understand the situation:

your ±1% 1Ω shunt resistor might actually be 0.99Ω, maybe depending on temperature (which changes after you power up the load), but you can get ±0.01% resistors pretty cheap these days

(maybe not if they have to handle 150 amps tho)

typically the bigger issue is the reference voltage the adc is comparing it against, because a voltage reference with 1% precision that's stable over time is pretty challenging, and also needs to be calibrated

but i'd think that would also be the case for calibrating the driver for the cancellation current in the hall-effect sensor?
Paying for journalists is the big problem with journalism in general: how do you fund it? I think a big part of why investigative journalism is struggling is that it's too expensive. Writing some headlines for a story you copied from someone else is much cheaper. Especially when the news organisations are for-profit and any cost cut is more profit for the owners.
I don't see how a real life one could be made to look exactly the same (but I could be missing something).

The seems to have something that stops the end of it moving on until enough tension has built up to side underneath it. That much is fair enough. But then that same thing stopping the end would also prevent the same satisfying wiggle when it gets to the next position because it overshoots immediately.

The only thing I can think of is that the restraining pins move in and out is the clock have at just the right time but that would be quite a fiddly implementation and probably affect the visuals
Honestly? I'm not an extrovert at all but a group of 3+ people makes it a lot easier to keep my distance and get a feel for how people are before engaging with them. For me this is very much an autism thing.

When going to conferences I've made it a habit to try to talk to new people on every break out of principle (because after all, if I just want to watch the talks, usually there are recordings available afterwards or even a livestream, so they're a waste of money on their own). But approaching strangers standing alone is extremely awkward unless you have a plausible excuse (e.g. queuing) so the "open circle" group of 3+ people (i.e. keeping enough space while facing each other so at least another person can easily join) tends to work best.

Being in a group of 3+ people also reduces the social anxiety of whether it's okay to back out because you're not abandoning the person specifically, while also making it easier for an additional person to join because there's already a conversation going so it's fine if you find that you have nothing to add.
In the link I pointed you have an example given and an explanation of why you need to have specific memory management for concurrent containers. It cannot be explained any clearer.
Happened to me at AWS.

And worse, several clearly less talented folks on my team are getting promoted to senior before me (due to tenure/politicking). I virtually took the day off every time it happened.

And worse, my boss promised me promotion in an upcoming cycle once (after 1y), and it didn't come. It's promised to me again (after 2y). Should happen any day now.. can't help but feel it was held hostage to deliver a 6-8mo effort.

The only true leverage I have is to come to my boss with another job offer. And I tried, but couldn't find anything that I was willing to be called my bluff on. Job market is scary. In the US you are competing against 30k-50k layoffs (who are in the top 10% at least).

You are really angry right now, and perhaps rightfully so. Just don't make an objectively bad decision by quitting a job in a recession without another/better one.

Take 2 weeks off.
Reduce your work hours/responsibility (if you're not senior, don't work like a Senior).
Consider blocking off 2-3h/day for either interview prep, OR indie dev.
Write a list of the things you appreciate about your current job and practice gratitude consciously.

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/externality.asp

Some basic economics 101 reading can set you straight here.

It's a legitimate function of government to craft regulation when there are negative externalities distorting markets.

Sometimes government regulation makes markets more free. Crazy, I know, but please let it sink in.

If it helps: you can think of producers that rely on negative externalities as freeloading evil socialists who redistribute other people's wealth (without consent) to themselves.

> a TWh, which is about six million years' of power

i'm not a physics guy but wanted to check this - a Watt is a per second measure, and a Terawatt is 1 trillion watts, so 1 TWh is 50 billion seconds of 20 Watts, which is 1585 years of power for a single brain, not 6 million.

i'm sure i got this wrong as i'm not a physics guy but where did i go wrong here?

The fact that Pfizer released aggregated data based on their own analyses is immaterial if third parties can't analyze the raw data replicate the results.
