Why should he have to endure what is a clearly greater amount of harm than he inflicted in an attempt to solve the problem? Is there no line?

>Why aren't we having a big tech CEO layoff for massive wrongness?

The only job of the board of directors is to decide when to fire the CEO. (Waiting for Tesla's board to do their job..., but I digress)

Sure, capital is represented on the board, but what about labor? No representation, so a round of layoffs is not going to be a reason for this to happen.
Congrats! It's beautiful up there. You're doing it right [=
Something I'd like to see is if large, profitable, private tech companies are also doing layoffs.

Like, it's reasonable for unprofitable companies to do layoffs. I can see investor pressure causing something similar in large public companies like Google and Amazon, even if they're profitable. But profitable private companies should be snapping up all the best talent now.
One thing the emulator probably doesn't adequately convey is just how painfully slow the Lisa was. We had a lab full of them in college, and I was very excited to use the new GUI. But it was almost unusably slow, and I suspect that had more to do with its failure than the price. DOS applications, while ugly, were lightning fast by comparison.

> (3) Host recurring events

This has been a key one for me and my friend group. And this may also be instead of "host" recurring events its "go to" recurring events. We try and do trivia every week and as it becomes recurring it becomes part of everyone's schedule itself and not something to schedule and plan for which takes a lot of the pressure off. We kind of have a "core" group but everyone will occasionally bring coworkers, friends/family who are in town, etc. that help expand the social circle.

Wait, what's wrong with decorators? They seem pretty nice in python.
I think many of the things you mentioned w.r.t. diversity is actually forward-thinking and potentially yields more returns later. If there's a brilliant swe that feels uncomfortable at a company because of how they name their branches, they won't work there. Same goes for hiring a "less-qualified" individual. How many decisions or projects can be improved because of a diversity of input? Again, a non-linear outcome that is harder to measure than immediate profitability. Those are some arguments for those programs focusing on your productivity point.
Didn't Wayfair have a massive layoff right at the start of Covid, though?
Yeah, but this sort of thing is common in many industries. The people in power explain things in a political way in the name of communicating with laypeople to avoid bad reactions. This can be CEOs, politicians, doctors, police, developers, etc.

> Allowed? We can choose not to work for companies that ban workers from their boards. Which is pretty much all of the big companies in the US.

No you can't. You're not thinking this through. As soon as enough people quit in order to start pressuring companies to allow this, it becomes more difficult for the growing pool of quitters to get new jobs and it becomes a buyers market, putting you in an even weaker position than you already were in. On top of that, capital always has more of an ability to hold out far longer. You need to eat and pay rent right now while they can scale down production until you come back with terms favorable to them. This is why unions save money ahead of time so that they can strike.
I tried driving around area51 and trying to find the actual place, you have to go on foot over some rough terrain before you can even see it unless you have really good offroad tires and somehow the unmarked pickups with guys holding automatic guns don't stop you.

But what struck me as remarkable was how everyone from randos helping with broken down car to people in restaurants and starbucks near by kept asking if I was trying to take pictures or spying or whatever. No one assumed I was looking for aliens, they were concerned if I might be a russian or chinese spy.

My dad raised hell after he divorced and was single again. I was only 6 so I don't remember most of it, but I remember in general the house was the spot for the community's late-30s people. The high water mark I remember was he knew the drummer in a fairly-famous 80s hair metal band and they agreed to jam in his basement. The whole town came over for that one. I don't remember which band it was but they were big enough that it was newsworthy.
Historically they have been but most innovation at least from bmw comes from slapping extra turbos to chase ever increasing bhp.

Similarly, I’ve recently (re-)realized that if I put my computer away and take pen and paper notes during meetings, I miss fewer details and am more engaged with better retention—even if I just go right to the recycling bin and toss the notes out after the meeting is over.

It seems so obvious in hindsight—I spent so long doing pretty much the exact same thing in school. I’ll distill important notes digitally, but the process seems like the most important part for me.

This article is a good reminder that the workflow that works best for you doesn’t necessarily fit perfectly into what pre-existing tools afford.
If tickets were regularly given out in this way I think it would lead to even worse driving behavior. Sometimes I find myself going 10mph over the speed limit because that is the rate that traffic is going. If I knew that there was some MVT ticketing checkpoint coming up, I might be inclined to suddenly slow way down, stop, pull over, or otherwise freak out.
You are confused about the value proposition of crypto. These systems do not solve the same problem.
Even easier, someone has the same car and their keys just work.

The relationship, in my mind, is that I valued their livelihood and the service they'd provided me; what I'm saying is that some people may feel the same about Twitterific. I'm not arguing that anyone should abstain from requesting a refund, I'm illustrating why they might.

My friends and I had the exact problem. We used to (host and attend) parties all the time.

In my experience it’s because: Covid decimated any chance of gatherings for 2 years.
It caused all of our friends to be paranoid.
People started getting older and it was hard to communicate with everyone.
Platform fragmentation. Some people use SMS or messenger exclusively and no one uses facebook events anymore.

We actually started to try and use different apps, partiful, evite etc… We found the UX to be a challenge to interact with and no one wanted to use them.

So we built our own event planning app that tries to solve these problems: https://dateit.io/

He states that the raid was likely related to photos but denies that the photos were taken inside the base.

> According to Hellow, an agent present at the Vegas raid told her: “Your boyfriend took pictures of a military installation—that’s against the law.” In a blog post on Dreamland, Arnu similarly said that all he was told about the investigation was that it was “related to images posted on my Area 51 website.”

> Taking an unauthorized picture of a defense installation (such as a military base) is a federal misdemeanor offense—on par with hunting or fishing in a wildlife refuge. It carries with it a punishment of a $1,000 fine and up to a year in jail.

> However, Arnu maintains that he never broke the law and that the government’s case against him—whatever it is—has zero merit. “I had some photos [on my website] of Area 51 that were about two years old,” said Arnu, which he believes were the reason for the raid. “They were legally obtained. There’s absolutely nothing illegal about them,” he said. “Most of these photos were not taken by me, I just published them [on the site].” He adds that they were “not classified photos” and that they “were not taken from inside the boundary”—that is, the area inside the perimeter of the base that is off-limits to civilians. Arnu says the photos had already been widely circulated on other news websites and TV shows, making it inexplicable why the government would target him and him alone.
Interesting study, though if you look at the results 'significantly above chance' looks to be 0.60 +/- .05, which is indeed better than 0.50 but not what anyone could call reliable detection.

I wonder if trained owls could detect single photons, or if their night vision is based on just having much larger lenses that collect more light?

It seems that all rods in retinas are activated by single-photon-absorption, it's just about how many have to be activated to generate a neural signal.

You may remember the Aldredge Ames spy case some years back. Supposedly, his CIA polys revealed some strange results but rather call him on it and investigate it further, they shuffled him off to the FBI, still holding his clearances and accesses where he continued to pass classified information to the russians for several more years.

Polys are not the end-all for detecting bad guys but if you choose to ignore it anyway, it certainly becomes useless.
Their lack of success might not be entirely pandemic economy driven as the article suggests. I was part of that cohort that discovered and ordered from Wayfair around the start of the pandemic. In 3/3 cases, what I ordered turned out to be of poor quality and slightly different from what was pictured on their website. I’ve had this experience with Amazon and other platforms from time to time, too, but never so consistently. So I decided not to order from there again. I have to wonder if their declining popularity is just a result of other customers like myself having been burned too many times.

To be clear, a huge majority of crashes happen at the interface points between multiple traffic streams. Higher speeds in that situation is absolutely both an exacerbating factor in the likelihood of a crash (by increasing the stopping distance) and the severity of the crash when it happens.

The ticket is to design roads such that people naturally drive at safer speeds. The collective insanity is that we as a society allow engineers to pretend that features intended to speed up traffic are a safety mechanism.
This is called "shareholder primacy" and it's more of an ideology than an actual legal requirement. It's going to be true to the extent that the company leadership believes it's true, and a lot of different strategies could be justified as serving the shareholders in the long run.

> Reckless driving is not a traffic citation, it’s a criminal charge, and a Class One misdemeanor at that. That means it’s the highest level of misdemeanor you can be charged with in Virginia, right below a felony. The maximum penalty for a reckless driving conviction is a $2,500 fine, a six month driver’s license suspension, and up to a year in jail.

> See what I mean when I told you it’s serious? They hand it out like it’s Halloween candy, too. You drive 20 mph over the limit, it’s reckless driving. They even charge you with it for failing to properly signal, or when you’re found to be at fault in a car wreck. I’ve heard of some cases where people get 30 days in jail if they speed over 100 mph.

> Other Class One misdemeanors in Virginia include animal cruelty, sexual battery, and aiming a firearm at someone.

There are simpler and better approaches. Fortunately for us all, IP datagrams are not JSON-encoded, for example.
If your DB supports unsigned integers, or starting sequences from -2,147,483,648, you can double the address range.

But if you are at all worried that you'll get within a couple of orders of magnitude of MAXINT32 in the lifetime of your application then you should immediately jump to 64-bit values. Doubling is often just noise and the cost of refactoring if you approach MAXINT32 much faster than expected is more or a problem than the extra storage cost of bigger keys.

Consciously using retro design is very much a thing in industrial design, architecture, and so on; it only makes sense that it would come to websites, too (and indeed you'd expect younger people to be doing it; most retro _anything_ takes inspiration from a time period before the designer was around).
Yeah, never saw 10x programmers where the real hard work is done - in maintenance and support.
>> It's not a replacement for not checking resource access.
It isn't a replacement but it does compliment security. Imagine that your service accidentally hands out the wrong jwt for a short period of time. The attacker has the jwt and a known url but not the url to access another user's information. It will take the attacker a long time to find the url if it is a 128bit uuid. By that time the jwt has expired. I'm not suggesting that this will always work but it does reduce the probability of a successful attack - and security is 100% about probability.

>> Claiming "Exposing predictable identifiers to the world is never a good thing." tho is just FUD

Fully agree, this post is a great example: I can increment the id in the url and see the next post - no harm done.

> But what if the person who started the container didn't use docker-compose?

There's your shell history, combined with fzf this helps recall previously run commands. You can search for something like "docker redis" and find it in a few key strokes.

If the container got spawned by something else then I think that's reaching for "beyond-the-edge" edge cases. I've been using Docker since 2014 and worked with dozens of companies (contract work) related to using Docker and this scenario has happened 0 times where I wanted to be able to replicate the flags used to spawn a container but couldn't find the command. Nearly every container is spawned from using Docker Compose or it exists in your shell's history.
Nope, it becomes:

g() |> f(%) |> d(e(), %) |> a(b(),c(), %)

Which makes super clear what processing is actually done. Which is the data to process and which are just parameters of processing.

Because it could equivalently be:

e() |> d(%,f(g())) |> a(b(),c(), %)

If the data you process is rather produced by e() not by g().

This new syntax allows you to express intent beyond what's possible without it.
I have some pretty hard stats on this because I'm a long time employee of PaperlessPost.com an online event invitation company. You are correct that the number of parties is generally influenced by seasonal and life arch trends, social spheres and what is happening in the world.

Generally from what we see, most parties happen because of significant events in peoples lives. A 50th birthday party usually seems important enough for most people to want to attend.

Yes COVID did halt most of this but from what we've seen the numbers came back to 2019 levels early last year.

It could be your friend circles but I wouldn't stop trying to host parties or encouraging your friends from having parties themselves. We all have more responsibilities later in life that make it harder for everyone to show up so I wouldn't take this personally.

I might suggest having a reoccurring party. My neighbor has an Oktoberfest party every year. If people miss out one year they often feel pressured into coming next year, it becomes an event that people look forward to and even offer to help coordinate if it happens on a normal cadence.

> A bright line doesn't only make it clear what's illegal - it also makes it clear what's legal.

But doing the speed limit is not always legal. It depends on the conditions. If the sunset is dazzling, the speed limit might not be safe for conditions, so you could be ticketed for violating the basic speed law. Or if there's heavy rain or snow or what have you.
Getting rid of high-earners is more correct. Among the highest earners, they pick the bottom 10% of the performers. Or do some MBA-ish cost/productivity calculations and lay off based on some (probably nonsensical, for programmers) "valuation".

I think you can just make that dependent on the table's data. For a table of user posts use bigserial but for a list of companies, prices or names the serial will surely be sufficient.
This fun fact gets even more fun when you consider that a human radiates a nonzero amount of visible light via blackbody radiation - on the order of a photon/minute - which means that in theory, with some luck, in an otherwise cold and completely dark room, two humans might be able to notice each other through vision alone.

> you pointed them at people. Primarily people that had no business having the guns pointed at them. It wasn't even another actor during filming, which I would have at least understood to some degree.

the scene involved pointing the gun towards the camera, which means the gun is pointing towards the crew.

> Trigger discipline

How do you maintain trigger discipline when the scene requires you to point a gun at someone, or in someones general direction, with your finger on the trigger?

> check the chamber, identifying cartridge types, emptying the chamber before setting it down

If an actor tries to check the chamber, messes with the cartridges, the gun immediately goes back to the armorer to be made safe before being handed back to the actor, if the actor check again, guess what happens?

It's very important to understand that on a film set the standard rules do not apply, or more precisely the rules apply in different ways.
