Imo what dating apps are missing is the ability to meet a friend of a friend, or a friend of a friend of a friend. If that was offered it could be easier to meet and also get along with the people you do meet because there is already a mutual friend there which might mean similar interests or maybe compatible personalities…
LAC is not Chuck Yeager's Air Combat, but I've flown both and I get the same kind of thrill with both. CYAC was brilliant in its day and it was my fav for 3 or 4 years. But that was a long time ago! If your old enough to imagine CYAC with network support and graphics advanced about 15 yrs you get a pretty good idea of LAC. BTW it runs very smooth on my oldest laptop computer, a LeNovo T61p from about 2010. And with LAC you get full source code. Compiling it from source was easy.

Its not like anyone documents what data is sent back to base by an app, and its not like anyone is even looking at how to use the firewall to block data phoning home, in order to protect privacy and reduce the attack vector from opportunists with network access.

How did WTC not come to my mind, it is one of my favorite works! Maybe because it drives my spouse up the wall so I only listen it less often than I’d like. My favorite recording is the Ishikawa from OpenGoldberg [0].

Reflecting on my response to “lose one’s temper” I can see how a straight line reading of etymology (as I proposed) might be misleading if the specific idiom did come or return from steel or string as an enhancement/extension to the original’s meaning.

The statement was that large companies should be “safer” because they are globally diverse, which completely ignores the fact that government and companies are apples and oranges. As long as you are borrowing in the currency you own, you can print money to pay that debt off, maybe it happens like Weimar Germany where you trigger a painful bought of hyperinflation, but the debt gets paid and there is no default. There is not a company in existence that can say the same thing

Quite many countries limit the supply of doctors with less expensive health schemes.
It's not the browser vendors (well, save for morons from google) because there is DoNotTrack header but it's not used/enforced. EU could amend the law to include that and it would be AWESOME.
That's a problem with specifics though, not with the general existence of DUI laws. Weed will be hard to enforce but BAC is more cut and dry, I don't see a problem with having a BAC cutoff for driving.

1. Are SAT scores the only criterion for admission?

2. "Recruited athletes had an average SAT score of 1397, whereas non-athletes averaged 1501." How much of the 32 point difference in legacy vs. non-legacy can be attributed to the 104 point difference in athletes vs. non-athletes? Presumably most of the recruited athletes are non-legacy.

3. Where are the stats for affirmative action?

4. Averages don't tell the whole story. I'd like to see where the bottom is for legacy non-athlete vs non-legacy non-athlete.

> It's not clear that they do which was the point of my last paragraph.

Then there should be no debate about eliminated legacy admission. ;-)

Replace boring waiting prompt/room for your online meetings
In cases where you start punctually but people have arrived before you, or for the unexpected occasions when you’re running late, the reception room could serve as a much better alternative to the spartan, waiting room placeholder pages commonly used by online meeting providers.

After all there are reception rooms in the physical world designed to act as a transition area offering warmth, comfort and a buffer before a meeting begins, why not in the virtual as well?

Really, I threw him in there both because relativism has become popular in recent centuries (and really hasn't been for most of the history of philosophy), and because Plato/Socrates's idea of the Forms sounds absolutely bonkers unless it's understood as a response to/way to avoid the conclusions of Protagoras and other sophists in his school.

Alternative history/facts: all the letters in RSA are from Adi Shamir's unixname (rsa). Because 'asr' (Adi ShamiR) was already taken, he started using the reversed string instead ('rsa'), and used it as the command name for the first unix implementation of the RSA algorithm, which he developed all by himself.
I'm struggling to understand how the overall Overshoot Day could be August 2 when looking at the by-country breakdown, I don't see any really significantly populous countries having a Country Overshoot Day past August 2.

It seems to me that the population-weighted average of the country dates should be the global date, right?

Edit: Found it. I looked for the underlying data and several populous countries have a Country Overshoot Day of "none", meaning they could drag the overall average quite a bit later but are not shown in the infographic.

Hey everyone! I am Shashank, a data, cloud and backend engineer with 8 years of experience. Currently, I am working at an Ad Tech security company where I specialise in building backend APIs, ETL pipelines, working on security tools, overhauling our architecture and deployment processes, and managing a small team on the enterprise vertical. Prior to this, I was a founding engineer and data engineer at a DeFI based music startup, where I single-handedly built the entire data infrastructure, payments platform, analytics and reporting system and most of the company's products.

Throughout my 8-year career, I have gained extensive experience in delivering products from concept to launch, designing architecture, product & infrastructure planning, and managing small teams.

I have been working fully remotely for New York based companies since the past 4 years from India and Europe as a digital nomad. I am open to fully remote roles as well as onsite/hybrid if visa sponsorship is available.

Intransigent maintainers are such an irritating problem. Any time a maintainer has some strongly-held beliefs or goals that supersede their desire to serve users, you've got a ticking time bomb. When the two clash, they'll decline to serve users in order to serve their strongly-held belief instead. We see it time and time again.
> they prefer comfortable falsehoods to hard truths

I think it goes farther than this. They choose liars because liars are supernormal stimuli for the body politic. If their lies are too obvious, they may be rejected, but most liars appear as better candidates than an ideologically similar candidate bound by truth.
Well a comment is worth perhaps only an epsilon. But since you can always write another comment, the project will never be at 100% - only in the limit.

Its really easy for this to break and go unnoticed for a while as well. You could run tests against the static version, but I wouldn't be surprised at all to see them "temporarily" disabled because a new feature needs to go live and something is the breaking in the static tests
Location: Sofia, Bulgaria

Remote: I only work remotely. Off-sites and meetups are okay as long as they are not more than 1-2 times a year.

Willing to relocate: No.

Technologies: Currently specializing in Elixir, Rust and Golang, and I plan to work with these three for a long time still. I know them pretty well and use them freely, though I have no open-source portfolio due to an eternal lack of time -- planning to change that but haven't gotten to it yet. I have worked with C, C++, Assembly, PHP, Javascript and Ruby (+Rails) in the past. I know shell scripting and automation very well and employ them regularly both at work and at home.

CV: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kiTD4inaqvCTJOsVVC757fpD...

Resume:

I have 21.5 years in the profession. Keen eye for detail and very good at producing readable and maintainable code. Worked a lot in startups and burned out -- I appreciate places that are a bit more stable now. I have no problem working for startups but I am no longer working overtime or treating the business as my own. Work-life balance must be good. In return I provide quality, stability and predictability. My mindset is to always leave things in better shape after myself. I do code reviews and mentorship as well.

Ideal workplace would be to work on the company's products in a small team with minimum management overhead.

Zero problems talking with business people and managers and I quite enjoy it even, though a hard requirement from my side is a minimum amount of meetings.

I take initiative, I take charge and I take ownership, but will expect a bit more autonomy, no micromanagement, and fair compensation that's not country-dependent.

I do feel the article isn't clear on what the context is, but it sounds like it is really this sort of corporate 'project' like internal research or tools.

And from years of doing these things I think they massively underestimate the 'system' as you put it. This system involves process, culture, rewards and a ton of politics.

It has some very unique challenges different from shipping products. Often your total addressable market is one team in the company, so product analogies aren't much help. You really need to gain political power to get buy-in. Or in today's corporate environment just be okay with finishing the task to 90%

This system needs to be in place prior, building it isn't 10% tacked on the end of a small project.

Sucks to be you. You can also drive a conversation elsewhere. You are apart of the conversation too. You aren't a victim. You can chose how to interact with humans.
I have wondered this as well. Nearly 10 years ago I applied to yCombinator with an idea for a new type of email that was based on semantic markup in messages that would enable hundreds of these types of actions to be done right in the message view, without ever leaving the app. At the time we identified Gmail actions as a major threat, since they had I think 4 actions. I fully expected that in a decade, there would be hundreds of them and they would be commonplace. Things like book now, buy now, answering a multiple choice question, etc. But 10 years later and adoption seems to be less, not more.
My question to this is "why go through the trouble of doing this when there's operating systems where you don't need to do a debloat step"

I realize the answer is that people use Windows because the software they use requires Windows, but it just irks me that this is the solution to not wanting a "bloated" OS.
You could just take the result of running their chosen passwords through the algorithm and use that as the decryption key.
I don't think this will help. It still returns an IP, it's just wrong. Setting a second DNS won't help if the first one returns a response.
I was hoping for more of an explanation. For instance, how does this connect to the actual meeting? How do people get to the meeting after they were here? How do people get here? Is it a plug-in for zoom? What apps does it work with? What is the experience like? I don’t want to press the button unless I know what I’m getting.

I think you hit the nail on the head there, and probably explains the belief in gods and how religions also exploit it. A sort of psychotherapy session for the community, if you want to believe in that.

You don't. It is not even agreed upon that evolution optimizes <<something>>.

And even if you agree that evolution is an optimization process, attempts to define its objective function run into problems with tautology and circular definitions once you move beyond simple examples.

It just uses open source markup from https://schema.org/, so there is no reason that other email clients couldn't implement it as well.
For an example of how shame can be useful in discouraging bad choices, look at cigarettes. They're legal, but society and government have successfully campaigned to publicize their negative effects, to shame smokers and to praise quitters.

> Broadcast an email with the takeaways so that the rest of your organization knows about it.

Funny that OP mentions this as part of the last 10% because the experience in my company is the complete opposite. People tend to send self-congratulatory emails before a project is even 90% done. This creates perversive incentives. Some people who want to game the system will stay around just long enough to get visibility, credit, and virtual pats on the back. Then they'll move on to another project that they can capitalize, either not finishing the rest, or dumping it into another unsuspecting soul.
I'm not gonna say stick is inferior, it's not. Just everyone's got a preference and for me it's tough to beat the convenience and ease of a MIG machine.
The vast majority of Average Joes Windows users don't seek out debloating tools on GitHub though, but the HN hivemind is too self-absorbed and out of touch to realize this. Most users don't even know what GitHub is except maybe some website programmers use.

And the users who do seek out debloating tools, it's because they need/prefer Windows over Linux mint despite them having the skills to learn to use Linux.

It's not about effort, it's about necessity/preference/habit.
Cloudflare is also hurting peering and ggc to Google on my ISP.

When I use google dns, opendns or even my isp's own dns, the ip I get for example, googlevideo.com resolves to my isp's cache. But with cloudflare it gives my a google ip and I get no cache benefits.

Also, anecdotal evidence, uploading and downloading large files to Google Drive and some other websites is significantly faster when I use google dns or opendns. I'm not sure how that works, but maybe the server's returning an ip my isp can't route to in a fast way? My isp is notorious for having bad routes.
Windows 95 was probably the optimal UI—in the Windows world, at least. Meaningful buttons, a reasonably-contained set of components, proper scrollbars. I'm not sure what the next major revision was after that (98 didn't change that much, IIRC) but I bet it was probably a regression.
Distros not shipping with programs like video players installed by default isn't the reason Linux hasn't found mainstream traction. The real reason is because Linux simply doesn't solve the sort of problems most users need solving; there aren't many compelling reasons for a casual computer user to use Linux in the first place. For normal users, not technical/power users, Linux could work fine but Windows or MacOS also work fine, so they'll stick with what they and most other people know already. Oh you get the source code? Most users don't know what that is, they don't have a reason to care. You get the power to customize things? They don't want to. These things are important and valid to some people, but not important to many more. And that's fine. I've been using Linux for about 20 years and I love it, but I don't recommend it to normies anymore because I figured out that it wasn't doing them any favor. If Linux gave normies some great advantage over the alternatives then more would use it, but that's just not the way it is.
That’s where theory and practice diverge

That's entirely possible. It does smell like something's waiting for a timeout of some sort. But the times are very long. About 5 minutes to start the browser, and while not every page render incurs a delay, when they do, the delay is on the order of a minute or so.

In any case, I really have spent a lot of time digging into this. At some point, I just had to let it go.
Do people generally say they need a lot of unsafe? Hasn't come up much for me.

Also I'm not sure the cognitive overhead is really that big. The compiler helps a lot with its useful error messages.
There already is standardisation, of a sort. A lot of these things will just be a bunch of 18650's in a fancy box. As long as you can get into the box, you can replace the cells.

I'm working on Lua scripting for Open Brush: https://docs.openbrush.app/alternate-and-experimental-builds...

Whilst it's not "live coding" (because typing code in VR is challenging) - it does hot-reload and it does interact with your actions in realtime (i.e. you're modifying the drawing actions you take rather than running a script that generates static output).

Furthermore we have got the beginnings of a viable fully non-VR mode as well as hybrid usage patterns where you might jump in and out of a headset during the session as it suits you.
I use iCloud Private Relay and it only affects me over IPv6. Disabling either private relay or ipv6 "fixes" it
From the article:

>Thirty-six of the investigated brands contained detectable PFAS, among which perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA; CAS 375-22-4), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA; CAS 335-67-1), and perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA CAS 307-24-4) were the most frequently detected species.

That's not the same as "They release 95% of the pfas in the drink".
I think I'm missing something, but is there a way you can pass along some some sort of vague location info for caching purposes without revealing too much? From their tweet they mentioned even continent level information isn't available, which I can understand. Is there really no middle ground that works here?
