I don't think it's unfair. It's not a competition between brothers or sisters nor do I think sisters taking a different route makes them lesser to men.

In most cases, sisters going a different route would be the smarter play. And even in this case, it could have gone really wrong if the creep had a weapon and was aggressive or killed someone after speeding off. But that didn't happen and the stalking didn't escalate. So sometimes... courage and strength mixed with some recklessness is the best resolution. And I don't think this guy should be dragged across the coals for saying his sister was lucky to have three brothers. This IS a 3 brother type of solution to a problem.

On the aggregate, you know I'm right. Not saying there can't be a pack of three sisters that would respond similarly, but it would be a rare exception. Do I need to update my statement to say "499 of 500 sister pairs would not have gone this route" and "Nor would 499 in 500 women allow their sisters to go vigilante for her".

Do we really need to preface every statement that has a rare exception? If so, I'm not sure we can talk about much. We couldn't even say that humans have 5 fingers on each hand because not everyone does.

There are real differences between the sexes. I don't get all sensitive about that fact.

Or get all sensitive when someone who gets a positive resolution and risked their safety for their sister doesn't write in a professionally sensitive, west coast manner. The guy expressed his story in a rather tame macho manner and people are getting upset after his victory protecting his sister lol.
My brother had a shoulder surgery that he put off for many years. The doctor actually told him that he did the right thing because the type of surgery he needed has some such a long way in the last 10 years.

It's great that we're still making so much progress in these areas.
Other majors were default prohibited from taking computer science courses under the guise of a shortage of places in classes. Even when those majors required a computer science course to graduate

I went to an institution that did the opposite; seats were reserved for non-cs majors despite a shortage of sections. This resulted in CS undergrads waiting for courses just so they could graduate. It was frustrating because it felt like the department was taking care of outsiders over its own.
Well, I just tried that tool on my M1 Max and I got read speed of 2900MB/s. So I ran it again and finally put it in continuous mode: it did not keep an average and quartiles. I saw a read value over 4000MB/s. I would say that this tool is not a valid measure.
I'm referring to unknown unknowns here. I'm going to a completely foreign area, and I want to pay someone money instead of doing hours of research myself. It's just a huge pain in the ass made way harder by the fact that I don't know anything about the place, and the places I visited were all very rigid. Maybe the type of experience I'm looking for is not something I can afford, and that's why I haven't come across it?
I'd rather ride the U-Bahn in Munich than the subway in NYC.
Solar and wind are variable. Putting them in the same category as nuclear without including the storage costs is disingenuous. This is a super basic issue and you tut-tutting with this deeply flawed by oft-repeated talking point is why this comes across as “tone-policing”.
ChatGPT can write prompts for itself, and it can do so recursively (i.e. you can direct it to write a prompt that causes the new instance to write a prompt ... etc). It can be fun trying to make the shortest prompt that survives the most iterations, and introducing additional requirements that every iteration must do makes it more challenging.
Did you mean to reply to somone else? I have not objected to comparing anything.
I would not take it as a given that the individuals laid off were the worst performers at the company. It could be that they were highly compensated and deemed too expensive, or happened to work in the wrong department/business unit.
No, that was more coincidental than anything. We had been living as roommates for years before that year.
I don't need ideas! I need some sort of "basic income" that allows me to pursue the ideas I have today while providing for a family.
I was notified by Samsung that my new washing machine had a recall because the control module could overheat and a firmware fix would prevent any damage. It required me to download the Samsung Smart Things App to my phone, create a Samsung account, connect my washing machine to my WiFi using the app and wait for the washer to decide to download the firmware fix.

Connecting a washing machine to the WiFi/Internet made me feel slimy.
The biggest issue I have with data lakes is they always without fail turn into a data cesspool. The more you add the less ROI you get out. And yes using Splunk as an example it becomes an organisational cost problem. I have spent way too many hours arguing with them over billing.

The only viable solution is design metrics into your platform properly from the ground up rather than trying to suck them out of a noisy datasource for megabucks.

No joke, that stuff was so long ago I don't even remember the answers to those questions.
How does this hatred work? Does she keep a leaderboard? Does big tech include foreign companies? I don't know much about this person other than the usual media bio sketches. Where can I read more?
That is easy. The same way as interactive theorem proving works already today, and for the last 30 years or so. It is the very definition of a proof that you can check it.
I don’t have any special sympathy to execs, but aren’t these tech layoffs driven by the abrupt increase in interest rates? Even if execs could have seen this coming 6 months before the rate increases, there probably still would have been significant layoffs and of course not even a quorum of top economists were predicting these impacts on tech at that time.

If the idea is “exec heads should role out of solidarity/catharsis/whatever” then that’s a different question than “someone failed to prevent this from happening”. Apologies if I’m misunderstanding the root causes of these layoffs.

There's nothing wrong with query builders, no antipattern.

In many ways it's similar to preferring C where you can really feel the assembly-language underneath you even if you're not writing it.

If you have written enough raw SQL you do a similar thing by convention... So for example if you look at my raw SQL queries you will notice that I usually only select specific columns with one-letter or two-letter table prefixes for disambiguation (because I hate “adding a column” being a breaking change! ... I am flexible on the name size but I like the freedom to make my table names long and expressive if feasible, group them with prefixes that relate related tables, etc). Then in the FROM, I only use JOIN and LEFT JOIN unless there's really no other way, and all my inner JOINs come before my left ones. All of those have AS statements renaming them to one-character prefixes too, and they have a clear ON condition that connects them to the above blob (so always "AS s WHERE s.whatever = ...") even though that makes the queries longer to refactor when you want to rearrange the joins (you often have to shift all the OFs down by one and reverse which side of the equality comes first or some nonsense). Subqueries should move up to a WITH or should be rewritten as LEFT JOINs if feasible.

You want to use structure to guide a reader through this thing that could be complicated... That structure could be lexical structure in the SQL itself or it could be syntactic structure from a wrapping language, I don't care so much. The real problem is having one source-of-truth for the database schema, and that problem is just barely tractable with current languages, but I don't see anybody who does it right.
The botanical education extinction and the fall of plant awareness
FWIW, Google still asks about your highest education completion and GPA also (though they don't ask about high school unless, of course, that's your highest education completion).
I don't know if it fully qualifies, but I enjoyed this one: https://furhatrobotics.com/

They're definitely a bit different to your typical bear (I cannot help but wonder why they don't pursue the more obvious telepresence possibilities of the device for example)
> I don't know any awesome engineers who sucked at school

This makes me think you don't know many awesome engineers.
Ultimately it is because the Rust developers decided that there would be no implicit conversions. In a lot of cases implicit conversions are convenient, but many people feel that the complexity just isn’t worth it.
It's still ivory if it's on a living elephant. Attributing the word ivory to poaching seems like attributing gold to piracy to me.
> Lina M. Khan, at the age of 27, published Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox

Is this a puff piece? She's just some government employee - she doesn't produce anything. It remains to be seen whether her aggressive interpretation of antitrust law will actually benefit consumers. We can split up Google into 100 companies and then we'll find out that the bales of cash advertising produces are no longer subsidizing the less profitable services. Maybe you'll have to pay to upload to YouTube or you won't get 15 GB of free gmail space or Hangouts will require an enterprise plan. But it'll all be worth it because some other adtech company who cares even less about your privacy than Google will now be able to sell search ads?
Most of my designs have in fact been with hard chines. I must've tried Carlson Hulls at some point (because the name sounds familiar) but I'm not sure why I never started using it. I'll give it a shot next time I get inspired!
There is a point where changing the rules now appears to benefit incumbents, despite them being the targets here. Nobody new will be able to grow this way to compete with existing large players. If they cant acquire small things, they will just be forced to clone them, yet the smaller tier players wont be able to "just clone things."

Instagram falls into the same category. When Mark acquired it, it was tiny. He is who grew it. Facebook acquired a mobile camera app because it didn't have an app yet. Same how it acquired Beluga and turned it into messenger. Adobe acquiring Photoshop, then Macromedia. Mirosoft acquiring Powerpoint and then hotmail.com.
> Many of those who have not learned from history are so anti-Apple (or possibly subpar webdevs) that they completely ignore the lessons we've previously learned about why browser monoculture is dangerous.

I'm confused, because to me it seems that the pro-Apple folks are the ones ignoring the lessons from large corporations using their weight to force monocultures.

Firefox is the only meaningful browser that is open and won't be leveraged by its steward to promote their business interests.
Ah, great! Maybe this will finally break up Google's monopoly and make ads cheaper and affordable to everyone who wants to run them.
For me, I've developed this workflow where I'll use Sublime or VSCode for active development, then Notepad++ for one-off files, or as a kind of on-going scratchpad. There's no reason I couldn't use the other editors the same way, but it's become so ingrained into how I operate it's difficult for me to change my ways.
> Apple literally sells their own insurance against theft

That is not true for their laptops.

> because ultimately it's something that will happen regardless of the software or hardware.

No, it will not "happen regardless". Activation Lock has been shown to drastically reduce the amount of theft: https://techcrunch.com/2015/02/11/apples-activation-lock-lea...

This is the same problem cybersecurity people deal with: when everything is working the way it should, other people start to wonder why they even have cybersecurity people. Activation Lock reduces the number of thefts, but you can't see things that stopped happening, so you've decided it isn't doing anything. Some thefts will happen, but a lot of them aren't happening anymore, thanks to Activation Lock. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Phone theft used to be a much bigger problem.

When criminals know ahead of time that Apple devices will be bricks if stolen, they are much less likely to try to steal them, which means that a large number of sometimes violent confrontations are being averted. That's how the math works. It's not crazy like you're trying to propose that it is. And no, no one is going to stand there trying to explain to a thief that it will be a brick. The thief either knows ahead of time (and doesn't try to steal it), or they don't and they wouldn't believe the owner anyways. After they steal one, they learn their lesson, and word gets around.

Some people continued stealing activation locked devices because they figured out they could get a few dollars for the parts, even if it is much less than for a functional phone. So, now Apple is starting to serialize those parts to the specific phones, so that those parts are also worthless. That just leaves the value of the scrap metal, which is extremely low, so there is extremely little incentive to steal these devices.

Activation Lock is an anti-thief practice, not anti-consumer, and it has nothing to do with how highly paid "tech workers" are.

You've still said nothing about why this thread should be about police departments rather than mail scanning.
Due to old infrastructure (early adopter problem) and generally having more people with internet connected devices, ISPs differentiate between residential and business internet plans.

Business plans typically provide either an SLA or at least less likely to employ traffic shaping. Residential plans tend to thus prohibit running a public facing server for commercial purposes, since they're over-provisioned on the assumption that residences don't always fully utilize their capacity. This is becoming less of an issue with fiber optic internet lines, but coaxial cable networks can easily see a few heavy users adversely impact everyone else.

All of that said, I've never lived anywhere with an ISP that prohibited public facing home servers- they really only had the stipulation about commercial purposes. I imagine if your server was receiving a ton of traffic (say, a popular blog) you'd get a nasty letter about it, but I don't know of anyone who has run into it.
They want to make sure you didn't do too well in school, else you'd refuse to work on garbage like Snaps, probably.
If any newer folks are wondering “… what downvote arrow?” it only appears once your Karma is above a certain level (501+, I think?)
I actually haven't used WINE in years - I pretty much only do dev stuff on my Linux boxen now, and there are generally *nix equivalents for most any utility app you need nowadays.

Classic Windows gaming I assume is the main use case now?
Also not noted: 320 TB in 40 M.2 drives will be extremely expensive. Newegg doesn't have any 8 TB M.2 SSDs under $1000. $0.12/GB is about twice as expensive as more normally-sized drives, to say nothing of the price of spinning rust.
Isn’t it fun to move goalposts! On layoff threads, people comment that the CEOs “taking full responsibility” should cut exec pay. Now we have a company that hasn’t had any layoffs and the CEO is taking a paycut and it’s a pointless symbolic gesture.

"Would of" is just is a misspelling of "would've".
Edit: At least in the US, elephant ivory is NOT illegal to own, or even sell domestically, as long as it was either aquired legally or predates the ban, so your entire premise is incorrect, see https://www.fws.gov/guidance/sites/guidance/files/documents/...

Other sources from long extinct sources like as a sibling noted, mammoths, are not. It’s not even THAT expensive. For instance, a guitar nut in mammoth ivory is about $30 vs $5 for “bone” or $10 for synthetic/graphite

The judiciary doesn't bring allegations... that's they adjudicate them. The DoJ or similar has to bring them.
Then what's the point? With NextJS I can have SSR but with client side navigation hydration. It's simply a better solution for that use case than an almost year old random library for Astro. Astro is good for traditional MPAs that don't need much interaction.
I think you'll see the whole range of responses, even some very reasonable defenses of ORMs for some cases.

I've come to prefer a yesql type approach that parses your sql into functions and provides a mechanism for applying functions to the bound data before running and the returned data after. Keeps things nicely separated and you can unit test your sql functions as application code.
They may not be interested in applicants for which that was already 30 years ago. (Their loss, of course.)
I am firmly aware of that, however, keep in mind I did not see the movie yet.

So far, my opinion was based on reading about it, the blogs are often controversial, but I habe a tendency to conclude I will not trust Google on this matter for now.
Okay for image models I think humans could help a lot more than we give them credit for. We can read and parse images WAY faster than you might think.

What if we just crowdsource and have a new Folding@home protein thing but this time it’s for classifying data sets? LAION-5B has 5 billion image text pairs, if we got 10,000 people together that’d just be… 100,000 per person which would take… awhile but not forever. Humans can notice discrepancies super quickly. Like a slide show display the image and the text pair at a speed set by the user, and pause and tweak ones that are outright wrong or shitty.

Boom, refined image set.

Maybe? I’m looking at the LAION-5B example sets on their website and it seems to literally be this simple. A lot of the images seemed pretty poorly tagged. You get a gigantic manually tagged data set, at least for image classification.
Better yet, just give everybody a UBI sufficient for the basics, then we don't need to spend money on any newfangled AI bullshit.
It suggests that the OP was misinformed and deductions from false data should be considered carefully. Might still be. Might also be total nonsense. It's a claim that rests on no data.

I think generally you can't compare the US with European countries on many things. The US are much more individualist, wealth is much less equally distributed, the population is much more diverse, there's still a lot of the frontier mindset. That'll create a different profile which you can see in e.g. entrepreneurship, and probably also in crime-rate.
"Stupid is as stupid does." Certain elements of humanity seem hell-bent on extinction for everyone else. Maybe an alien race who visits Earth in the future, will shed a tear for what could have been.

I would agree assuming the questions are somewhat relevant (they aren't)
I tried around 2017 or so. It was just two brands of adapters back then, one from startech, the other one I forgot. Both of them made the boot up way slower, and it was common knowledge in the scene that there is no solution to that. Either better adapters emerged in the meantime, or the Xbox just has some quirk.
You know this, but a tiny nit: it resets to a clean state after every prompt and then replays recent chat history to catch up. The distinction is important in cases like asking it to play a guessing game ("think of a number/person and I'll guess"). The only way it could maintain memory of the secret being guessed between questions is by outputting it as part of a response, which would defeat the purpose of the game.

> See US company take giant market share in online payments in your country

What's PayPal actual market share in Germany? I'd guess it's used to pay US based vendors. Why would anyone use it to pay European vendors, when bank-to-bank transfers work (for 40+ years) fast (on-line before the WWW) and cheap?
FreeNAS kinds of sits in that area, but it suffers from some of the same community contribution problem. It’s definitely hit or miss. I’m thinking the solution has to be like 10 core things that are rock solid rather than dozens of things that range from excellent to hasn’t-worked-in-2-years.
Truly desperate or people with ulterior motives maybe, don't want to be paranoid but maybe only someone who is working undercover for some agency would want to go through that lengthy process of the interview. Maybe Canonical thinks this way it can detect this kind of people. idk
That should be the default assumption, unless you can prove that our current approaches are on the right track... Which I don't think anyone actually believes.
And I'm over here trying turn off my endless torrent of new ideas, to better focus on the work in front of me.

During the apocalyse, it got really bad. Probably due to isolation and so I didn't have my usual inhibitors. ("Being polite company" turn upkeep.)

The one strategy I have "to let it go" for my idea factory is to journal. Write however much of the notion down in notebooks that emotionally allows me to mentally stop chewing on it. Sometimes just a one liner. Sometimes long white papers.
Fodder for discrimination lawsuits. The more information they have like this, the more they have to work with when defending a suit. School-based discrimination has been deemed legally acceptable, thus "Our records indicate the plaintiff did not meet our high school expectations. She was not hired for that reason."
Thanks for this! This is really cool, I have a few questions. Can Lightrun prevent certain fields from being logged? Some fields shouldn't be logged such as credit card numbers, secrets, username etc. How can we prevent devs from accessing things they are not supposed to?

Can this replace continuous profilers as well?

Whats the reason this is not getting more adoptance? AFAIK most companies are either eating the cost of logging or managing it with sampling. This seems way better than either of those options, so whats the downside?
Plenty of ashtrays still around in bars and casinos - and even though they're rare to see inside of homes, they ain't all that rare in backyards or on front porches. Of course, rarely are they ever so ornate as the wonderful examples in the article; if anything they nowadays seem designed to stand out as little as possible.

My dad, toward the end of his life, was a heavy-enough smoker that an ashtray on the porch was insufficient. His solution? Fill an empty milk jug partway with water and drop butts into that.
