I don't think the "developer subculture" is clearly bounded or uniform geographically. You state that the developer subculture has stayed with pro-meritocracy but I think it has changed.

Where could we find a definition to check that we were referring to the same thing?
I have worked with several US & European companies as freelance / outsourced resource. Had to sign some documents confirming that I am not the resident of clients' countries. There were no issues whatsoever in payments or anything else.

Maybe it is your tax status that's causing the issue. Have you considered forming an LLC (or equivalent in your location) and applying through it?
This project seems like a huge mess.

What exactly is the "risk" to individuals that needs to be managed if the currency is backed by the BoE and Stable?

Also, no anonymity.

Also, not decentralised.

Also, the central bank can create and destroy or freeze money at any point including just your account.

Also, total access to the police and 101 other orgs without any need for warrants etc.

Also, you will need a bank to access this (so what's the point at all really?)

So after all this time and energy, the bank of england has invented... bank accounts. Only with more latency and no interest and a cap on balances.
The alternative is a custom DSL for templating which I find much worse. Even CSS has a DSL for conditional and programmatic logic which I only use because of the immense performance benefits it brings.
> Spez being human makes me inclined to trust him a little more

You realize what you're saying right? You're saying someone's actions that breach trust makes you trust them more?

Actions speak louder than words, if someone is showing you that you can't trust them, you don't decide that you're going to trust them more!
the SSD Valve chose is rated 3.3v 1A, the SSD in question is rated 3.3v 2.5A

one can presume that a device capable of using 2.5x the wattage in an already ultra-confined area is going to face some heat dissipation issues at the very least
My $0.02 are that any competent and honest HVAC company will be able to walk you through the concepts of your home's heating/cooling load etc. and what size heat pump can meet that need, what it costs to run annually, and what incentives there are. It's not that hard. I would reach out to three highly ranked (or word of mouth suggested) HVAC co's and start the conversation.
I guess they are a new thing in the US. In Europe installing a heat pump with floor heating is done for practically every new family house. It is the cheapest (for us) and nicest way to heat up your home. Though very few people build houses out of wood, unlike the US.
topic of discussion: is anyone else concerned that all the new things being clearly pushed hard, regardless of reasons(good or bad), has the common theme of centralizing. In a world where if your heatpump stops working, you die from cold, it would be an awfully sad thing if social credit scores dictated a very low kilowatthour limit. Much more sad than a world where you obtain firewood from some local vendor

If it works for you. I try not to have a fetish for powerful machines, and treat them as tools.

Sometimes it is difficult, when looking at some GPUs etc. but overall it works. If you need a tool for work or personal hobby and can afford it, why not.
Windows for OEMs is licensed only for use on that PC, so it is no different from macOS in that respect.
If the overhead of a fork is too much for you you probably shouldn’t be writing a shell script anyway, so?
What incentive do these companies have to circumvent their standard hiring procedures for you? I freelanced for nearly a decade. My guess is that they’re just not that interested in you. If you bring something valuable to the table, they will go out of their way to hire you as a freelancer directly on your terms. If you go to them and say “hire me, except FYI I’m working on my own time, schedule, and fee structure” but don’t bring much much more to the table than their FT folks, why should they?
I'm also interested in something like this. I've been considering writing one because I already start most projects with djangobuilder.io, which generates a project, models, and test skeleton. I've found that very useful when I have a lot of models.
Hm, there was also ifuckinghatejira.com but seems like it's gone.
The Try For Free link is a bit awkward. It points to a page that just says Jobs, that in turn just points to a empty black page.

I assume the intention is to use the Login link. If so then I think that should be at the forefront instead of the empty pages.
It's not though is it. It's like saying a doctor shouldn't spend their work hours looking after a 20 year old and otherwise healthy patient with the common cold.
Your high end apartment must have had a low end heat pump installed.

In the midwest a geothermal heat pump would work wonderfully.

Also, they are designed to run constantly in order to maintain the set temperature -- it's not like a natural gas fired furnace where it quickly reaches the set point.
I've seen this in the U.S. in the corporate world -- I.e. Look at the third party company they want you to use, and copy what it does to your own LLC. If you can make your LLC appear to be a larger entity than it actually is, (e.g. perhaps hire a virtualized assistant service to answer calls) all the better. It's sort of a compatibility layer.

Whichever is most available to you. Change arts often (give them at least three months, preferably a year.) Get into each their own styles and cultures. Each offers something worth learning, even if only as a contrast to other systems.

What is your purpose?

Kick boxing to kick anyone’s ass

Boxing for good sportsmanship and how to throw a proper punch.

Wing Chung for the little guy who wants to stand up to anyone.

MMA if you’re ~25, peak fit, and want to be a tough bad ass.

Capoeira for a great full body fitness and all round physical confidence.

Any of the traditional styles if you’re also interested in a drastic lifestyle change.

Start with fitness, work on form and technique, and find something that really suits you (and keep at it!)

Boxing is the only art which teaches you how to hit from the start. Most others will have you doing forms and basic exercises for the first year (or more!)
The question of grounding is a problem that arises in thinking about cognition in general, yes. In AI, it changes from a theoretical problem to a practical one, as this whole discussion proves.

As for one-shot learning, what I was driving at, is that a truly intelligent system should not need to consume millions of documents in order to predict that, say, driving at night puts larger demands on one's vision than driving during the day. Or any other common sense fact. These systems require ingesting the whole frickin' internet in order to maybe kinda sometimes correctly answer some simple questions. Even for questions restricted to the narrow range where the system is indeed grounded: the world of symbols and grammar.
This is not the common experience, it's just an AC that runs in reverse. It sounds like a bad install/bad equipment.

The data does not appear to me to represent a function. There is a lot of verticality to the data. It’s doesn’t appear to me to be logistic, exponential, or a higher degree polynomial. What is the best model? I don’t know. I’m not a statistician or a neuroscientist. Maybe they have reasons for doing a linear fit in this case that we aren’t aware of. Typically experts have reasons for what they do and their reasons would seem reasonable to me if I knew what they did.

> In fact, you can tell them you have a pool of expert freelancers and consultants ready to go for their own projects.

Don't lie. There's no need for this one, anyway. If your company presents as professional and competent, people will assume this. What you need is for your company to get a couple of initial gigs, and to get permission from the clients to mention them in marketing efforts. (That's the hard part, and it can take time if you're starting from zero. But it's only hard at the very start.)

Then do that. Potential customers aren't thinking "I wonder if they have a staff", they're thinking "I wonder if they can do the job properly". Being able to point to prior happy customers goes a long, long way.

JSON in scripting languages does "as well" as Java's java.io.ObjectInputStream/java.io.ObjectOutputStream and dontnet's System.Runtime.Serialization.XmlObjectSerializer.

aka: will explode in your face in spetacular fashion [causing security vulnerabilities or denial of service in the way] unless you take special care to only use explicit safe serializable objects, and you handle corner cases correctly (for example, Javascript `__proto__` naive deserialization).
Chips doesn't sound like electromechanical to me?

If something with chips counts as electromechanical, then e.g. a flight simulator or racing game with force feedback joystick and seat is a way more complex electromechanical game
You'll find almost no big companies are going to deal directly with a one person shop. I used to be able to do it all the time, now they a) don't want the hassle of dealing with a 1-person company, and 2) they don't want the risk of having you reclassified as an employee after they have been paying you as a contractor - you can thank the IRS (in the USA) for that one.
Do plants engineered to not produce plantable seeds have some kind of advantage, or is it purely so the seed producers can continue selling the seeds?

I remember when I first heard of roundup ready crops as a child, that aspect of it completely baffled me both in why and how they would make plants not replantable.
Same, no idea what to do
Some people prefer the taste of them.
I mean, how hard can it be, right?
My post and the GP were about HSV (herpes simplex virus), not HIV. HSV is extremely prevalent, so a simple randomized controlled trial in children should do the trick. (And there isn’t even any substantial ethical issue with participants potentially taking addition risks — kids don’t do anything to avoid HSV in the first place.)

But the specific discussion is about a potential cure. Finding a few hundred HSV patients who don’t take any antivirals when they don’t have any lesions should be very, very easy as trials go — something like half the population is seropositive, many of those have occasional symptoms, and very few of those are taking antivirals to prevent symptoms.
IMO the biggest reason why you'd run OpenWRT rather than anything else is the hardware support. OpenWRT has very broad hardware support for a huge number of commercial devices. VyOS and (pf|opn)sense basically only run on x86_64.

You don't.

Have a look at Yubikey's - there, the seed is stored on the key itself, the calculation done on the key itself, and all the app does is read it all via NFC.
Incredibly small and unhelpful nitpick about the landing page.

Under "Only what you need to manage products" you have 6 boxes that describe features. The boxes are. in 2 rows of three for my screen size. The second row's secondary text is 2 lines long for the first 2 boxes and 3 lines long for the last box. Because of the box size, the last box is taller and the grid is thus uneven. Either making the copy in that box 2 lines long (maybe lose the words "your code") or setting a min height on the boxes or something would make the grid even.

Other than that, and much more importantly, I have no idea why I'd use this over any other project management tool. Maybe a feature comparison between the major players would help. Or tell me why you're simpler, faster, more novel, etc than other options.

I also don't know your pricing. It says "Try for free". What does "try" mean? Does "trying" end? Then what happens?

Happy to take any feedback or answer questions about this post.
This is my experience too in the Netherlands. I do sporadically hear stories of people initially being hired through a recruiter, then leaving, then coming back as a true freelancer. It's a sad state of affairs because these recruiters add very limited value. They basically try to match every freelancer with every position and leave all but the most basic filtering to the recruiting process. All while extracting a hefty percentage, often for the whole duration of the contract. Supply-demand matching could be done more effectively through a web application, but recruiters seem to be thoroughly entrenched.
>You're pigeon holing engineering to only the practice performed by licenced professionals

It's a joke that most of us heard in one form or another back in Uni. I'm sure it's been repeated for centuries before the word "software" was first uttered

But then we all were studying some kind of Engineering, and only a very specific subset of us expected not to need a license after graduation... funnily enough, only that same subset didn't have to learn the core subjects that "all" engineers have to learn (tee hee)

>which is not true for the meaning of "engineering" as a whole so I don't agree with your premise a priori

As long as you are happy to call duct taping some damaged mechanical part "engineering" too, at which point why bother with the expression?

>I agree that it isn't hard engineering but... Is it needed for these cases?

I agree. But then I don't feel the need to call it engineering when it has very little to do with everything else goes by the same name

>a lot of smaller companies are still in the tinkering phase

A lot of big companies are still in the tinkering phase too - I've briefly worked for a certain big bank, and I live with someone that works for a certain health org that moves tens of billions of dollars every year. Their level of engineering is a joke too

The discipline itself isn't mature enough to warrant the name engineering. Additionally, it's incredibly amusing how much resistance the actual practicing professionals have against changes that would nudge the discipline towards warranting the name

We live in the wild west, act like cowboys, want to continue acting like cowboys, have the responsibility level of cowboys, and expect to be called engineers. Presumably because being called an "engineer" makes you sound legit
An easier solution is just to not care about the opinion of random people you'll never meet again in a shop. I still pay 10-15% in traditional tipping settings, and nothing elsewhere. It doesn't bother me at all if anyone thinks that is too low.
I probably would have welcomed your answer! I'm sure it seemed like a betrayal to discover it changed completely, but rather than a huffy response and screenshot, if you'd truly cared or taken a minute to think before reacting, you could have always just emailed me your thoughts.

Still a good question, but I would have changed how I worded it. Anyway, after 1 hour with zero votes, I thought...not enough engagement. You'll probably hate this, and I know it's a probably seems like a bad request / imperfect signalling but if you had upvoted it, I probably would have thought, well it's going somewhere.

I'll edit it if I want to (and I can within the first 2 hours whenever I want)...from my point of view, why waste a slot on something that will not go anywhere?

Anyway, stuff like this happens. It's unintentional, no malice on either side: get used to it; it's the internet; or adapt. Imperfect systems, structures, algorithms. Don't blame me--when you say that it sounds like you're blaming me--don't do that, I didn't do anything wrong. You could have waited until after the edit horizon.

And if you'd regretted the chance to enlighten me with your point of view, you could have just emailed me. Regretted the chance to enlighten others? Write a blog post, and post it here. :)

>On the specific subject of schema, i think most of that is most users have no need or interest in a schema.

You have no idea, my friend. I came many times across the situation where people needed to have a JSON conformant with a schema and they just resorted to the ad-hoc badly written json-schema library du jour.
Then they slowly start to add features until they are near Jira's size and we're all back to square one.

You can't really fix online dating because you can't really change human nature. Men want what they want and women want what they want and nothing changes that.

You can of course meet somebody decent online with enough persistence, especially in a big city with a constant pool of new people, but the way things work online is bad for almost everybody except the very best looking men, who are able to use these apps to easily sleep with a constant pool of new women.

The best advice is to probably go hang out where women you want to meet hang out. Meet people in real life.

Go to bookstores. Do some volunteer work. Play in a coed sports league. Go to church.
> 5. Rightfully mentions that you should not put a plaintext password on the CLI, then proceeds to recommend you use pass in a way that puts the password back in plaintext on the CLI via a subshell which is still totally plaintext in the proc filesystem, in ps, etc, to all processes on the system running as any user.

Not to mention that the password will also get stored in plaintext in the shell's history file if the shell is in interactive mode.
Stuff like KUBSAN, KASAN, KMSAN, KCSAN which detect problems at runtime. There isn't anything even close in other OSs.

Something like VeriExec would be nice as well.

And while NetBSD doesn't have it either, some type of MAC or RBAC implementation would also be welcome.
Arguments that reduce to labeling something as a conspiracy theory are destructive to truth seeking and an adulteration of discourse - but they are consistent with the fear of criticism that they are intened to target and leverage.

We can't launder poor arguments through complexity/uncertainty boxes like the USC grand rounds videos and say, "well, unless you understand this granular level, you can't disagree with this lateral and aggregate policy one." I wonder if on a basic level the people who argue like that aren't engaged in discovering truth, but actuated by merely avoiding criticism and seeking to align to something symbolic that protects them. This may be the crux of the disagreement.

If I have an ideological position, it is that I believe my opposing team is engaged in the neutralization of discourse because for them to prevail in their power struggles they only need for principled people to do nothing. This is perhaps the divide. There are people aligned to an ideal of truth that originates in religious cultural beliefs, and people aligned to a fear of criticism that originates in a more materialist ideology.

This scope shift from an "appeal to authority" to reframing it as a "deference to authority," in the counter argument doesn't counter my original point, which was that scientists may feel they are under seige because they have been exploited in appeals to authority, and feel blowback from some people who understood that ploy and rejected it. They are orthogonal concepts.

Sure, media defers to experts, they tell stories that include them, but the variations like "this is true because authority says so", "authority said: do this or become a hate figure," and "you are suffering because of these non-believers, just ask these authorities" were disingenuous rhetorical devices employed by media and policymakers with no objection from actual scientists.

Maybe these scientists would feel less threatened if they had less fear of criticism and more intellectual courage.

The "Pizza Cake" looks like what someone who heard of deep dish pizza without actually knowing how its made might cook up. Somewhat unorthodox, perhaps even "stupid food" but I don't see why the end result wouldn't be tasty to most people who like pizza. How it made it to #3 is baffling.

The author/raters also seem to have something against anis, wtf.
Egh... I'm not so against it in real life. For example, we've had Microsoft Accounts for over a decade in my family, and the refined design in Windows 11, like it or not, is more consistent than the mystery meat of Windows 10. So, we really didn't mind. For average non-technical users, Windows 11 is definitely more friendly for even basic tasks like "how do I pair a Bluetooth speaker" than Windows 10's Settings Panel.

Though I completely understand and accept this isn't everyone. For us though, it was decent.

Just heard on the radio this morning that white helmets in syria who have been with the disaster since the war has waged, find this disaster to be no different than what they have been battling for years.

They have been prepared with the skill set yet have no supplies and very little manpower. Yet still the world has shed so little in attention to Syria right now. Some of that is because the roads are well destroyed. Others because rebel govts are ill equipped to handle the situation.
As someone who lives in the northeast and has a 3600sqft home, I'm wondering how many heat pumps it would take to replace my gas steam boiler system. I'm not sure if heat pumps would be cost efficient given those parameters.
Yes they are. You get more heating from an heat pump running from electricity coming from gas plants than what you get by just burning the gas. Including losses on the grid.
