Most zombie stuff is largely made for cheap shock rather than anything else. Few zombie stories are about the zombies themselves. The original author almost hits the nail on the head - the "Elite panic" stuff is a closer understanding of what these stories are about.

It's... Almost an accurate description of a zombie story. The goal of a zombie story is usually to just say "Yeah, look at us humans. Even when the world falls apart around us, we'd rather still hurt and murder each other for selfish gain rather than surviving and sticking together." Which is an assumption that has been challenged very often, especially on the scale of humans that most zombie stories operate on (usually no larger than 4 or 5 families that the cast interacts with.)

It's also to the point where it becomes very predictable when a group that seemingly breaks the mold shows up, just to show they're much more morally evil than it first seems. Group is well off during the apocalypse -> they're cannibals. Odd friendly loner -> he's keeping a zombie (usually a loved one) in his basement and wants to feed the main characters to it. Safe bastion with surviving humans -> someone offs themselves and it falls apart infighting because of the added zombie. Every "good" group must be punished because it'd defy the logic of the genre.

Personally I don't really believe much of what zombie stories have to say is accurate - reality has shown us that when humans are put through events where the majority of other humans around them aren't available (ie. Natural disasters), that we tend to stick together and survive together.

I actually think Groovy sits a bit different to other JVM languages in this respect, because it never was at its core, pitched as an alternative to Java (for a brief moment it was considered in that light, but that was mainly because Java itself became so stagnated). They aren't competing to be the same thing the way other JVM languages are - Groovy is trying to be a really good scripting language and Java is trying to be a really good application language. Similar to how Clojure will probably never be popular but it will probably also never go away.

I've read it...at least part of it and skimmed the rest.

From what I have read -- and this article cites the same stat -- roughly 15 to 20 percent of people self-identify as disabled. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. At least one study found that about 60 percent of people would benefit from better accommodation if you ask them if they have difficulties with X without asking them to self-identify as disabled.

Both the officially disabled and people with milder limitations get really cranky about where to draw that line. People with mild limitations often go out of their way to say they are definitely not disabled and merely have a little trouble with these things and officially disabled jealously guard the label because they need it to have any hope of making their lives work at all and don't want people who can make their lives work without that label horning in on any limited benefits available only to them or diluting what the word means.

It's a really thorny topic.

I had a class from SFSU in Homelessness and Public Policy and it has a similar exercise, like "Spend one day pretending you are homeless. Figure out how to go to the bathroom while carrying everything you own. Figure out how you will get around without a car."

And then I spent nearly six years homeless.

There are plenty of people with actual disabilities who are perfectly capable of telling you what they need if you will only listen to them. If you are unable or unwilling to listen to them and take them seriously without trying to "walk a mile in their shoes," well, sure, go ahead and try it out for a week or whatever if you think that will help you.

But sometimes all it takes is one person willing to say it over and over so you keep it in mind when it's time for you to make coding decisions or whatever. And if/when that happens, it probably won't ever get noticed, acknowledged nor appreciated.

It will promptly be forgotten like when programmers of an old, "useless" language fixed Y2K and the world did not have a global financial meltdown on January 1, 2000. We shrugged, acted like "Someone must have been wrong." and moved on to hand-wringing about the newest bad news.

I am probably the only person on the planet who sometimes goes "Thank God we aren't living in the Y2K Post Apocalypse!"

The internet has made my life as a disabled person vastly more workable. Are there things I wish were even betterer? Sure, there are and we certainly shouldn't be dismissing the completely valid complaints of anyone who can't do x because it's not designed with their needs in mind and there is no means whatsoever to get it done.

I certainly do not dismiss such people.

But perhaps it would help to understand that when they complain about, for example, the internet not working for them, part of what they are telling you is that the internet is vital to their lives and has expanded their life beyond what it likely would have been in decades past. So when it doesn't work, it's like taking away their oxygen or sunshine.

It's hard to do anything well. It's often not appreciated at all nor rewarded. Try to not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

A small amount of exercise each day will do wonders for your overall fitness, especially when starting out.

You don’t need to hit the gym for an hour to feel the results. Like parent poster is doing, body weight exercises are terrific.

I would also like to say that planks are an extremely effective exercise.
Of course it is. I pass on a lot of jobs for just that reason.
There's no point in arguing about this here. There's a very well defined, mathematical theory called General Relativity, which explains gravitational phenomena from Mercury's precession all the way to the expansion of the Universe.

If you take the time to learn General Relativity, and to learn how to apply it to cosmology, you will see that there are rigorous mathematical answers to the various questions you're raising.

I want to point out that this isn't esoteric stuff that only a few people understand. General Relativity and cosmology are part of a standard undergraduate physics curriculum. It only takes a few years of study, starting from Physics 101, to get to the point where you can derive the answers to all your questions from scratch.
But you're still lifting, presumably. That sounds like success to me.

I tried to start lifting multiple times. SL 5x5 is what actually made it click. Now that I know what I'm doing, I could write volumes on its flaws, but what I needed wasn't a technically optimized program, but one which gave me a clear goal for each workout and an easy way to see what the path forward looked like.

As the reddit beginner program correctly notes:

> The primary goal is to be a simple, easy to follow routine that will help beginners get into the gym, start training with the standard barbell lifts, and build a habit of going to the gym consistently. Consistency over time is the biggest point of failure in making progress, and the aim is to lower the barrier as far as possible to starting and staying consistent.

The point of a beginner program really isn't the volume moved or optimizing the particular split, but to give the beginner a structure on which to build routine and learn good habits. It helps no one to crap on Starting Strength, when it has an established history of achieving exactly that goal. Offering things like the reddit program as a potentially superior alternative is fine to the eager newbie, but telling people that Starting Strength is a bad way to start is just counterproductive.

My advice to every new lifter is that the best program for them is the one that gets them going back to the gym consistently, and I'll continue to stand behind that. It's not SS for everyone - and that's fine. But it is SS for a lot of people, and that's also fine.
The world has changed. The built environment has changed. I look at unfit young people and part of what I feel is that they are victims of a broken world getting blamed for what their elders did to them.
I had two classmates in school who could converse this way. It can't be that uncommon. They had independently learned how to do it and one was showing off and the other started talking back to him. We were 13 or 14.
It seems sincere — unlike your comment, which comes across as very off-hand / dismissive.
It's also relative to your body weight. A 150 kg squat for someone who weighs 118 kg (i.e. me) is not that impressive. Whereas an 80 kg squat if you weigh 80 kg is extremely impressive. You should be aiming to lift 1x-1.5x your body weight, over time.
Introduction to the Physics of Fluids and Solids by James Trefil might be interesting for you.
Colors are not the problem, the brightness is. When I passed coworkers' computers, their screens were always at 100%. That's like listening to music with 1000 Watt speaker right next to your ear. No wonder people keep complaining about headaches and tired eyes and whatnot. TVs are not as bad due to the distance one is watching them but still falls into the same issue.

When I tell people to halve their brightness and contrast they never do it because when you go from 100% to 50% it looks so dark you cannot see anything. If they would give it 5 minutes for their eyes to adjust, they'd have no more headaches.

Unless the link is to a "show SN" article, it is indeed simply an aggregator, and not a link to the source.

What I mean to say is: I do see the logic of downgrading links to SN, because it is not usually an original source.

how depressing. what do they have to say about what joy to derive from life?
There are many ways in which something can be simple. I believe that the most relevant metric for simplicity of something like JSON isn't the number of language elements it has (this would mean that, eg. Brainfuck is simpler than JavaScript), but the amount of work necessary to produce a correct program. JSON is an endless pit of various degrees of difficulties when it comes to writing real-world programs. It's far from simple in that later case.

I.e. learning about namespaces would take a programmer couple of hours, including a foosball match and a coffee break, but working around JSONs bad decisions when it comes to number serialization or sequence serialization will probably take days in the best case, with a side-effect that this work will most likely have to be done on an existing product after a customer complained about corrupting or losing their data...

You shouldn't. I don't know if anything changed in the last few years, but having to insert your ID into a card reader is very cumbersome from a user experience perspective. Especially since the world is moving away from having to plug stuff into computers.
These numbers means that nothing can travel at FTL speed except this galaxy. It travelled 20Bly in 13By at the speed of 1.5 c. Extraordinary claim requires extraordinary evidence. Where is the source of energy for this FTL galaxy? Why this galaxy is not ripped apart into ball of gluon plasma?

Having dev/ops experience is a huge plus, there is a lack of security practitioners that know the pains of developers that and are able to offer technical security advice from experience.

A good place to start is by trying to distill some of your hard earned experience into a two hour session for a technical audience in the gaming industry, and offer that to potential clients.
As a starting consultant, this is a low-risk way for clients to gauge your expertise and can give you a foot in the door, or at minimum valuable feedback.

Are there common security standards or regulatory compliance drivers for the gaming industry?
Understanding the external security drivers for a company and being able to translate these drivers into pragmatic requirements or processes gives you a leg up compared to generic security consultants.
Having knowledge of common frameworks can be beneficial. Look into NIST CSF, OWASP SAMM and the OWASP DSOMM (In order from high-level to hands-on)

If you want to pad the CV with some certifications, have a look at Paul Jerimy's certification roadmap. https://pauljerimy.com/security-certification-roadmap
Skip the basic ones (such as security+), especially since you have dev experience. Go for CISSP if you want to offer managerial advice or go for the technical certs (eg. cloud provider certs) if you want to be more hands-on

For additional training, have a look at the list that NIST compiled: https://www.nist.gov/itl/applied-cybersecurity/nice/resource...

Seek out your local OWASP chapter and attend some local meetups and security conferences. Talk to your peers at these events and learn what positions they hold, what challenges they have and what tips they may offer.
Many OWASP projects are looking for (dev) contributors. Have a look and see if you can contribute to some projects with your experience. This is a learning opportunity and you're helping the community, being a contributor can be a great way to show your expertise to potential clients.
If you are using OWASP projects, the OWASP slack channels can be quite active and good learning resources too. OWASP conferences often have free or low-cost training too, as part of the conference.

Sharing Dataframes Across Different Spark Sessions
In terms of web UX, one disability that hardly anyone considers is intellectual disability - but really many people who work in development (design, project management, programming) are outliers in terms of intellectual ability (albeit probably not as much as they think they are)

But we're all just temporarily smart as well, many people are not that bright before that first cup of coffee or if they are going through lots of stress (hence crunch time often decreasing productivity)

One of the problems I have is encountering design decisions that I think that must be a bug, only to have it turn out to be a real thing. This quirk in my character cost me a lot of money with the Danish department of business registration, - long story short when I said I filled out what they wanted filled out and speculated maybe their site was broken they said oh you probably made this specific mistake, everybody does that - but in the end I still had to pay thousands of dollars in fines and close down the company (it was when Denmark decided you had to specify the legal owner of an LLC or face forced closure with fines, about a year later they closed down all LLCs anyway)

on edit: of course a lot of devs have specific intellectual differences in ability - like ADHD.
This is a rather scattershot article. The author doesn’t spend any time actually fleshing out an argument, just moves from one observation to the next.
I guess it could also be implementation defined

My point here is that you can’t have “everything works as it does in the native assembly language” and “portable assembly” at the same time because if you rely on implementation defined or undefined behaviour then it’s not portable any more
I don’t think the devil needs your help. This is a very real and pernicious belief behind the assertion that we should continue to leave large fractions of our student population behind when it comes to math. We say it’s too hard for them. It’s too hard to teach them. They don’t really need it. Excuses, excuses.

It’s a colossal failure of imagination, as far as I’m concerned. I think developing mathematical thinking is an absolutely nonnegotiable part of a complete public education. If kids are coming out of school with no clue of how to do it, we have got to mend that breach, not leave it.

BTW I think it’s utterly irrelevant whether someone “gets” PEMDAS or not. That’s not math. To the contrary, it belies a rote, formulaic way of thinking that is almost inimical to math.
I get that this can be annoying (as someone who maintains code written using Textual, I very much get it), but while we're still 0.x we are making the most of being able to steer in slightly different directions if a more beneficial approach becomes obvious in some area.

We also try really hard to highlight breaking changes when a new release is made.

And, of course, if anything particular is tricky to work around or get working again anyone is welcome to seek some help in GitHub issues, discussions or even on Discord if that's your thing.

I used to work at a Fortune 500 company. While there, I gave up my car and began walking to work.

A teammate offered to pick me every morning but our schedules were a little different, so she couldn't take me home. There was a program for people ridesharing, some goody-two-shoes, pie-in-the-sky, "Let's promote the idea that people need to drive less" thing and she qualified for a special parking space for ridesharing with me.

And then someone else offered to take me home and also applied to this program and did not get the special parking space she was hoping for. Instead, the first woman lost her special parking privileges.

After that, I stopped participating in all the company programs aimed at rewarding people with cars for driving less by walking, biking, ridesharing, etc. for fear that as someone entirely without a car, no matter what I did, I would somehow be in violation of the rules which were geared towards people who owned cars and by default drove alone.

I happen to be seriously handicapped myself and my condition is congenital. If he is more entitled to give his views on this topic than I am, then something is extremely wrong.
I think this reflects a cultural phenomenon. Dutch people are very pragmatic when it comes to language. This is also seen in how easily loan words are introduced, especially from English these days, compared to say, French or German people.

Scanning mounted slides, cleaning them and adjusting in post is a very manual job. Going through a large collection is going to cost you.
It's definitely not magic, but it's on the 80 side of the 80/20 split, IMO.

It isn't the right starter program for everyone, but then, nothing is. The best program for the beginner is whichever one keeps you consistently showing up and moving forward.
I think they are referring to fitness-related advice on Reddit, but, yes, there are a number of quite high quality subreddits out there among the not so great ones.
I think that is missing the point a bit; regardless of how healthy a lifestyle you live you still will end up suffering from some kind of disability. Perhaps of a cause completely outside your control (stroke, heart problem, accident).

Not to say that strength training isn't good for you of course. But it may not actually prepare you for things to come (unlike having a healthy family life, an identity outside work and physical fitness).
I'm sending a weekly PHP community newsletter
I really enjoyed the Starting Strength program (I was going to abbreviate it at first, but then realized that sounds a bit sketchy out of context), and I noticed the benefits too. The only reason I quit a few years ago is because of my concerns about the strain it puts on the cardiovascular system. Especially for someone already doing mostly desk work, I wonder how healthy it really is.

I still do resistance training, but with higher reps and less weight. Not incrementally increasing the weight as SS prescribes.
Alternatively you could do bodyweigth training if you prefer that (like me)

1. Pull: such as pullup

2. Push: towards one arm one leg pushup

3. Legs: Pistol up (=1 leg squat)

4. Core: V-ups and bridge works for me.

Once we went carting with the company. Everybody was sore afterwards in all kinds of places (software devs :)). I was fine.
