If any MS Teams developer here,

here is my bug report.

I can't use same sso account on android and on macos at the same time. The token gets invalidated for some reason.
Yes, but to the one case specifically mentioned in the article Facebook said the warrant was valid. Hence further commentary about how companies are not simply doing as required in these specific cases is speculative. Seeing further discussion on this it seems unlikely that the warrants in question made any specific reference to abortion to begin with. So there isn't even a notion in many instances that these social media companies could provide extra scrutiny unless they made this determination on their own.

Maybe social media companies should fight tooth and nail over every data request, but somehow I think most people don't want this. The same people who would be outraged at Facebook turning over data in an abortion case are probably the ones who are fine with say Facebook turning over data related to the January 6th protestors. Is there actually a non viewpoint-based principled stance behind the outrage, or is this just an instance of working the ref to your team's advantage?
Piggybacking here: Does anyone understand the identity management of Microsoft? Is there any way for me to see all my "accounts" associated with various email addresses and the organizations they belong to?

I haven't been able to access most of the Microsoft ecosystem due to various errors on MS side and I'd really like to get it fixed.

Some customers are inviting me to their teams and I always have to say "sorry, doesn't work"
Its sad really, each country and the EU itself all have the totally wrong approach to high speed rail.

The EU seems hell bent on turning Europe in England for some reason.

France and Spain believes that High-Speed rail is basically an airline. They miss basic stuff like one line should connect to the other, and are bad in terms of connecting high speed rail the rest of the infrastructure.

German has political problem building out a rational designed overall network and is vastly under-funding lots of rail infrastructure projects that are total non-brainers. But because its all politics with little planning.

I am extremely pissed that Switzerland build a huge tunnel threw a mountain, only for Italy and Germany to basically do nothing. Everybody expected Italy to be behind, but Germany is still not done its part.

Switzerland on the other hand basically doesn't believe in high speed rail at all and that is kind of a problem if we ever want a real European high speed network that doesn't suck. Thankful some people are pushing for such a line. We basically need a line Genf-St.Gallen, and Basel to Lugano. And then connect those to the high speed lines of the nations around us.

Britain in the meanwhile is actually building high speed rail, but constantly trying to cut it down, and at the same time they are not connecting their net with Europe because of stupid immigration policies.

Belgium has the slowest high speed rail ever.

Netherlands and Germany can't seem to figure out basic East-West connections.

We have long way to go in Europe to actual get high speed rail correct.
That's certainly your prerogative, and we all have to draw the line somewhere in terms of interviewer demands. Personally a reasonable homework assignment (like 2-3 hours tops) is less annoying than multiple 6+ hour interview panels stretched out over a period of months, which is also very common. At the end of the day though, the company decides the hoops you have to jump through if you want the job, and you can either take it or leave it. FAANGs can get away with onerous processes because of the technical brand and outsized comp, but startups and lesser known companies who try this are shooting themselves in the foot.
The ball is. At least it was considerate enough to leave it's fire behind.

I think structured interviews can be just as easily biased as unbiased. I'm not disagreeing necessarily about being structured with your interview practices, but I find this to be a grey area with promotions also.

As soon as people figure out the check boxes or the structured pointing system they start to check all the boxes, but it doesn't necessarily speak to the nuances between individuals that make them diverse and both valuable. In fact it can lead to a certain type of person people hired or promote, which can be on good characteristics, but I find many times turns into a "certain type" of person.

I guess what I'm saying is structure can take you so far, but you have to be willing to explore a little bit about what makes a person special, and that many times means not controlling the whole interview, and be willing to have your bias challenged through the candidate directing some of it.
Align all the incentives, and you don’t need to have an explicit command. If your product demo is only tested on the company’s browser, no order is necessary to break compatibility, as it will drift away by default. If a team is chastised for having misrendered prototypes, but not for browser compatibility, then it makes sense for an individual to throw in a User Agent check.

It isn’t likely that any one individual is pushing for incompatibility, but that nobody cares about incompatibility. That lack of care about any standards, with “it works” and “it works on our browser/OS/hardware/etc” treated as synonymous, can be part of a company culture.
But for the beneficence of the aristocracy...

I think that's a joke of an argument. The people whose kids would no longer get in would go somewhere and the distribution of their bribery would surely be more democratizing.
I agree, and especially if you focus on getting about 100g of protein (depending on your size/sex) during that meal, and healthy carbs (veggies etc), you're not going to have a lot of room left.

My general rule of thumb is that after I do the 100g or protein and side veggies, I let myself have anything else I can eat as a treat.

Normally though, that's not much. Sometimes a little ice cream or something if I'm not being strict and cutting.
The requirements include be high performance processing. That would exclude the first two.
It hasn't seen much outside adoption, you might enjoy the ideas behind Netflix's Falcor: https://netflix.github.io/falcor/

You can think of it as larger-than-what's-downloaded dynamically-generated JSON object with internal pointers where you can ask to access wanted paths. (Sort of like GraphQL is a larger-than-what's-downloaded dynamically-generated non-JSON object.) One trick they use is that the path segments can also be objects, so `{from: 100, to: 200}` is a valid path segment, and this is how you build fancier query logic with in.

Its not about commuting. I hate the focus on commuting. Its about living, doing everything you want to do whenever you want to do it, its not just about going to work and back.
That's not really how criminal justice works. If someone murders you, no money is lost. They aren't trying to figure out who killed you so they'll pay what you would have paid in taxes. They investigate and prosecute murders to discourage murder.

The same is mostly true for every crime. If you steal something of value and the insurance company gets reimbursed, that's just a bonus.

Double yields with more expensive seed, commodity prices halve due to higher yields (you never really gain income long term with increased productivity). But now instead of being able to replant your own seed, you have to buy expensive seed. You can't go back to the old less productive seed because the prices for the yields have gone down significantly.
As someone quite familiar with cryptography, or so I thought, may I humbly ask for the ELI5?
because they are a good approximation of real numbers.

another question to ask is why did we land on real numbers as the standard?

because they are a good approximation of a lot of physical processes, like sine and cosine which are endemic in graphics, physics, electronics, signal processing, radio, etc. one could even make the argument that video games have driven floating point processors in a lot of the CPU / GPU industry.

but of course they are not the only way to do things. some geometry packages use rational number types, some financial systems use a base-10 Decimal number type, mathematicians studying number theory need the Big Integer type (unlimited digits), but these are small use cases for a small number of people relatively.

so floats are very convenient way for a huge number of people. and the number of people who need to use other number types is rather small which is why they are not implemented in a CPU. which makes them slower , which means they are even less desirable for a lot of applications.

as we see new software, we see new number formats, like for neural networks "float 8" , an 8 bit floating point number, are becoming a thing. which would be incomprehensible why you would want such a thing to most people 20 years ago and yet now it is in mainstream GPU products.

I wonder if this has something to do that Microsoft is going to launch a big update for Teams soon [1].

I thought that the update was most about the desktop version who is switching from Electron to Edge Webview2 technology, but maybe it affects also the web version.

Legislation needs to step in to make it illegal for corporations to prevent resale. If I have a piece of hardware in my hands it is mine. It should ALWAYS be possible to access it. If Full Disk Encryption is used then there should be a button to reset it and start over.
I use paper filters, and unbleached if I can get them. I’m not convinced that all of the tea bags we get are plastic free. In fact some fancy tea we tried definitely was in a plastic bag. I got us interested in other teas ASAP. I wonder if there are coffee filters loaded with plastic out there.

Coffee is wonderful on its own for composting. It’s very nearly the correct C:N ratio just by itself.

I’m about the same age as MS so I’m going to push the analogy. I was 26 in 2000. I hope to God I’m not the same person at 49 after 6 jobs, one failed marriage (and a 12 year current successful one), going through the real estate crash where I lost my shirt, etc.

I really hope I’m not the same person I was in college in 1996
> strong type validation

The limited types in GraphQL kinda make that not very helpful. A RESTful API with JSON Schema or zod schema for it has much stronger types, and you can even make converting to better types be part of the zod schema.
Doing so is usually pointless. Either your ISP isn't evil, in which case there's no need since you could just use theirs, or your ISP is evil, in which case they'll hijack all of the recursive queries that your own resolver would need to make.
Correct, storing PII is against GA’s TOS. Which doesn’t at all mean it isn’t ingested somehow or another (and Google can trivially integrate it back to a person if they wanted to). PII is a very malleable term depending on the jurisdiction.

So long as website operators are creating URLs and the data layers published into analytics there’s no way to ensure the data is truly anonymized. It just takes one slip up with a username being placed into a query string, or some other small mistake. In many organizations marketing runs the analytics, and they try to do as much as possible without developers who might notice these types of errors.

It could be interesting to have browsers avoid sending user agents and otherwise minimize HTTP headers to a list of analytics domains.
It's the Asahi team using Apple's own cultural proclivities for their benefit. All the single chipsets, and merged functionnality into the SOC are things Apple wants for themselves. I can't begin to imagine how cost-effective it must be to skip the NVMe controller chips in all their hardware.

Why would one expect ChatGPT to know the answer to this question? ChatGPT “knows” what it was trained on. The training data is unlikely to include a definitive answer to your question. And ChatGPT is not currently smart enough to do the kind of analysis that would determine the answer, nor is it likely to be able to do the kind of queries that would be needed to figure it out.
> Because we just clack on our keyboards all day and do nothing?

No, it is because some people have worked at very impressive jobs and probably just clack on keyboards all day and actually did nothing while there, so when you hire them you learn that they actually can't do the job you hired them for. You just can not rely on the CV alone.

In the hiring process there has to be some kind of skill test. If it is not a "homework" then it has to be a whiteboard/live coding/system design type of interview and there are a ton of problems with this type of skill test as well.

We usually give people the choice which route the candidate would like to do. Take a 1 hour interview or a "homework" assignment which took me about 1 hour to solve. Which is probably best because some people really prefer the homework because they get nervous in interviews.

> Will an attorney give you free legal advice until you decide they are fit to represent you, or will you get free surgery until someone proves they won't completely butcher you?

I do not know how attorneys or surgeons are hired, but my guess is that the education side of these jobs lines up much closer what is actually needed to do the job (which isn't really the case with Computer Science) and that when they claim to have done X or Y then it was actually them in court or at the operation table and not someone else from their team.

Clients select their attorney based on reputation of the attorney or the law firm they work for. For Surgeons it is probably similar. If you have the choice you want to go to the hospital with the best reputation. If the company you apply to already knew your name and reputation beforehand then the skill test is probably also not necessary, but that is not usual in my experience.

It also probably helps that both of those jobs require a Professional License to practice these jobs. Maybe if the software industry introduced a Bar Exam then these "homework" assignments would not be needed anymore.

> Can you drive a car for free (for 5 - 8 hours) until you decide that's the car you want to buy?

Usually you can. At least in my experience. Not fo 5-8 hours of course, but long enough to know.

If you know of a better way to hire people: I would be happy to listen.
Easier? You usually aren't coding FizzBuzz in production code either (although probably more often than inverting binary trees.)

Going further off topic, it amazes me how cagey some dealers can be about test drives. Same as you, I've had some just toss me the keys, without even wanting to see my drivers license, and that makes an infinitely better impression than wanting to come with me or wanting to talk about my needs first. I don't understand why it's not standard.

I think it's more up to the individual dealer than a policy of a given brand
Going from low rez, point-sampled to high rez, bilinear filtered (+antialiasing if you are lucky) is a huge quality leap. Basically PlayStation 1 vs PS2.
Or maybe it would be wiser to actual invest in your infrastructure. Railways don't get magically more efficient just because the is competition from a bus. Investment is political not depending on competition.
Yeah, I have been watching the mess that's the Chinese real estate market for ages and it's insane. Rent should be something like the mortgage payment on a property--but it's like 10% of a mortgage payment. The government is determined to keep the growth rate up--despite the fact that an advanced economy can't maintain the sort of growth rate developing economy can.

The people can see the market is dangerous but allowing the money to flee to safer locations would crash the market and that's unacceptable. Hence things like capital controls. It's not the hardcore efforts to get foreign currency that we saw in the old days, but it's still an issue.
>What happened in 2014

A revolution in Ukraine where a pro-Russia government was removed and a pro-NATO one came to power. This is extremely relevant.

>Everything that is happening in that region is due to Putin and Russia’s own actions.

To be clear, I am not denying Russia's agency and aggression. Similarly, I don't think it is realistic to say that the US has made zero decisions, has zero influence, has zero power, and zero interests in the region.

>This is not a great benefit to the US whatsoever.

This war has imposed real costs to Russia and has a real chance of destabilizing Russia for the foreseeable future, perhaps breaking it. It is extremally cheap compared to other wars and being fought without loss of American lives. The conflict is taking nothing away from US efforts in Asia.

Honest question: If you were a US military strategist, would you sacrifice Ukraine to destroy Russia? Would you sacrifice Ukraine to simply damage their military?
You can ask questions about crypto to real cryptographers on https://crypto.stackexchange.com. My layperson, 30 second understanding is:

- If you remember RSA, ECC replaces RSA because it has better performance.

- In ECC, public keys are points on a curve. There's two main types of EC curves:

- A Weierstrass curve looks like a pimple (classical ECC) - you'll see this in older crypto systems.

- An Edwards curve looks like a butthole - more popular these days, as it has less 'exceptional cases' on the curve which don't confirm to normal 'add two points together to get a third point' maths.

- 'Ristretto' turns out to be the ECC-based key derivation algorithm used by Polkadot cryptocurrency:
https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-cryptography or https://ristretto.group/ and is based on Edwards curves.

The second answer (typical for Stack Exchange sites) summarizes it well):

> In the Ristretto group, 0 is a member of the group, while in Secp256k1 it is not.
Our governments (Italy) just build infrastructure in the north, then do a pikachu face when there aren't big companies anywhere else.
Uh, teams never worked on Firefox on Linux.
The question asks why the all 0 public key in SR25519 and ED25519 has a known private key and what users should be aware of when using these curves. The answer explains that this is due to the mathematical properties of the Edwards curve models used in these curves and suggests using hash-to-curve to generate unspendable funds instead of the all zero public key.

Rust Project Reveals New ‘Constitution’ in Wake of Crisis
> How in this more expressive language would you represent pure functions or deeply immutable datastructures if it only offered flexible/mutable ones

With a function that doesn't cause any mutations and a set of classes/interfaces that offer no mutator methods.

My point is that you don't need to be able to have the compiler enforce constraints in order to express an algorithm—you just write the code. Having the compiler enforce constraints is often helpful but comes with decreased ability to express other types of algorithms that rely on breaking those constraints, so the language as a whole is less expressive. In order for a programmer to accept those limitations there need to be clear advantages, and the advantages that functional programming proponents have put forward so far haven't been persuasive to most developers.

By the definition I'm working with, the most expressive languages are the ones that offer the fewest constraints to what the code can do—LISP would be a top contender. Expressivity isn't the highest virtue, but it is valuable and programmers don't give it up unless they can be persuaded it will be worth it.
It's likely enough that most existing machine ability is aligned much more with the creator than with broader society.
some word -> a high score

another word with a meaning close to the previous one -> this word doesn't count

Why go after Firefox then and not Chrome? Do you also think they worry about competition from IBM cloud?
A lot of Keurig pods claim to be compostable, with the caveat that it depends on your local services. I'm sure many folks don't bother looking up what composting services are available.

I've had the habit of large/festive breakfast on Saturday and Sunday for more than ten years, and simpler cereal bowl with milk during the week.

I regularly experienced headache and mild hypoglycemia a few hours later, but it took me a very long time to connect the dots.

I also used to drink an unhealthy amount of sugar in various form, cola or so-called energy drink. Those are very effective to give a temporary boost.

At some point I tried something different, no breakfast, no soda and either a single large meal in the evening or a small meal mid-day and a medium one in the evening.

In my case there is absolutely no doubt this is much better, no more headache or sugar crash, I've seen changes in my body, mood, mental clarity and overall energy.

Digestion is a complex process, eating sugar can be extremely efficient as a booster as it can be used almost instantly, but it is very easy to eat too much and trigger the storage mechanism that has the exact inverse effect.
