You’ve been writing software for 20 years and never had to update an app for a new operating system version?
Part of the difficulty is navigating two sets of incentives. While yes, you can write fast and loose code that only a mother would love and do plenty of things much faster than whatever way is perfectly orthodox and correct. However, to be competitive in the job hunt, its expected people to have this portfolio of clean model code that follows all the best practices. The startup could fire you at any time, and you better have hoped you did your due diligence to spend part of your time on your own marketability instead of devoting it all to the startup, in this all too likely situation.
Especially due to inheritance tax in Japan being very high. It can sometimes be cheaper to abandon inheritances, than actually claim them. Even if you do claim the inheritance, large expensive things like houses tend to be sold because the tax makes it unaffordable.
This isn't an article about how to sleep. It's an article about how one person approaches practice.
> This app also doesn't have any integration with the system

And this is suppose to be an argument for web apps?
It's pretty morally dense (to put it politely) to view "hating Putin" as merely "the current thing".

Also, re your initial reply to my comment: it's not like Pakistan had a fully-functioning democratic government and suddenly the Army staged a coup because of American pressure. For many decades now, any civilian leader in Pakistan has occupied the position only so long as the Army at least tolerates them. The military in Pakistan has a range of interests, and it only wants to strengthen ties with the US insofar as it feels that suits its purposes and those of the country more broadly. The Army should not be absolved of its responsibility here, and the US doesn't deserve scorn for pursuing its interests abroad through this kind of strong arm diplomacy. The moral approbation should be saved for things like drone strikes.
Minimal has a nice trick for loading new collaborations… When joining a note a writer is met with a simple presentation of the note title, the collaborator’s name, and a small bit of text describing how collaboration works. By the time the writer has processed that minuscule yet valuable information, the note has loaded and is ready for them.

Effect:
- no wait time, snappy interaction
- better context around a new experience

Cost:
- nothing

It reminds me that a solid portion of good design is not applying a rule or system, but creatively working between the cracks of known/obvious problem-solution pairs.
I’m going to go down fighting keeping unions out of software. It’s the hill i’ll gladly die on.

You’re welcome to go work at a software union shop, like Boeing.

Writing low quality software that kills people, great job security even if you are at fault for peanut pay. I’ll take my non union job any day.
OnlyFans is at his core a tech company, with (I'd guess) a stack that looks a lot like any other high volume social media platform. They likely have a decent size engineering group.

Yet all of what I would think of as the expected recruitment links (e.g. https://careers.onlyfans.com/) go nowhere. Quick searches on LinkedIn, Indeed and CrunchBoard come up empty.

Obviously, this is due to their content. But I wonder, how does a company like this recruit good (or at least decent) talent?
People have to be told not to do that?

Boggles the mind. I really don't accept leadership as the problem. Better would help, but at some point people need to own their behavior.
My point is that for a lot of these places, unless they can figure out some way to be more appealing, there will be no local community before all that long.
There was an unconfirmed report today that Ukrainian forces used drones to destroy several Russian aircraft at the Kursk airbase. I wouldn't take it seriously until we see something from an independent source, or satellite imagery.

Probably unrelated, when old helvet clans went on some ancient war rampage, they burned down their entire villages so they had more resolve to fight and not quickly run away back to their homes to easy life. Some motivation...

This was from story where young Julius Caesar defeated such war party, and instead of massacring all of them spared them and IIRC made them their vassals. I mean 4th official Swiss language is still raeto-romansch, with origins in Roman empire just south of them and whole current Suisse was a Roman colony back then if that's the right term.
I've hosted similar sites, on a much smaller scale, it gets boring real quick. It's just a job.
How do vines attached to a building affect fire risk for that building?

The screen isn't too small to use web browser presenting site that looks just like the app, obviously. It is too small for comfortably reading or using the browser in general, so using the phone's browser for searching stuff on google is something that many older people simply don't do (in my anecdotal experience, I have no hard data to back this claim up). Searching for the train times in city z, going into a web site and finding that it is actually identical to the app and just as useful is something that is very unlikely to happen to my mother-in-law.
It's not Iosevka (really, what else can come close except maybe Envy Code R), but I have recently discovered Victor Mono and think it an attractive programming font: https://rubjo.github.io/victor-mono/
Why can’t we just leave people who want to be left alone… alone?

Clearly he wants to remain anonymous so let’s write a detailed article on everything we know about him.

A lot of past chronic diseases have had cures found. Leprosy and tuberculosis for example. ALS is a tricky one though, not well understood and quite likely prion like.
Not with a deadline (aka Windows).

I usually work on the backend and/or front end (Web). This is a pretty new world for me.
> put a computing device in every student’s hands

Did anyone stop to think if this step was necessary?
I've still never entirely understood why nobody's written a program to rasterize paid fonts at 10000 dpi and then run the bitmap through an automatic vectorization tool to create a legally free and redistributable version that is visually indistinguishable from the original (literally off by rounding errors).

The only thing missing would be hinting, but on retina displays and modern laser printers that's much less important than it used to be -- and you can always implement automatic hinting. And it's easy to extract kerning pairs as well.

I'm not saying this would be good for font creators or society. I'm just wondering why it hasn't become a common thing, when it doesn't seem like it's actually illegal.
If someone else buys it then you're not spending anything.
What you need is education (on how to respect and behave around other people, on what principles to follow in a evolved society) and being a decent person. Not much to ask is it?
Welp, those are empty houses for a reason.

Home affordability is stil an issue, people working in the metro area while being homeless is a thing, but they still probably end up better than being jobless in the emptying and infra less countryside.
Everything in the modern world has the oil/energy needed to create it baked into the price.

Implementing a carbon tax that increases that cost along every step of a supply chain increases the price of everything, not just gasoline.

See: Price of groceries (and all other CPG) in Canada. People will blame the retailers and lazy headlines about record profits, but if you look at their actual margins, the value of CAD, and the fact that the government is increasing the population faster than anything else can catch up… it’s not surprising that they’re posting record numbers. People need to eat. The oligopoly issue definitely plays a part but that’s another can of worms.
You're neither creating nor destroying any new money.

Bob is average. Bob pays $100 in carbon tax and then gets a check for $100. He doesn't have any more or less money to spend than he did before. He is able to continue his existing behavior and make no change whatsoever, if he wants.

But now he has the incentive to make a change. Because if he installs electric heat pumps instead of heating his house with oil, now he is only paying $50 in carbon tax but still gets a check for $100. If he can get the heat pumps installed for a monthly payment of less than $50, that's what he's going to do. And that's the goal.
And as a personal user, I also should have the right to intercept the traffic on my network.
I can't help but wonder how much of this is "better" and how much is wage stickiness in action (inflation has a slower effect on pay than on prices because pay increases involve long, drawn-out disputes. Economists call this effect "stickiness.").
FYI, Rust and many other modern languages do this.
The MacGyver military-industrial complex is something you just have to see to believe. Cheap Macguyver warfare makes a lot of sense economically for an economy like Ukraine’s.

Meanwhile in the US:

On top of the $22.4 billion it cost in research and development, the USS Zumwalt, one of three Zumwalt destroyer class ships, cost over $4 billion to create….Military Watch Magazine reported issues back in 2018, saying that the USS Zumwalt “suffered from poorly functioning weapons, stalling engines and an underperformance in their stealth capabilities, among other shortcomings.”

Sometimes, worse is better.

The more people in the ceremony, the bigger the energy. It is a spectacle for even non-believers -- but not much more so than watching your local sports team.
How is that relevant? that's a year before Musk made his offer.
Certain schools are charging people north of 100k in tuition just because they can. Even at the ones that don't you see students driving six figure cars somewhat bizarrely regularly. It's not hard to imagine finding six people whose parents can scrounge up a million in financing, especially if you have sold the kid on your idea and they seem passionate about it as their first big investment.
I like Jellyfin. I've got some TV shows, movies, and anime, and it's been working smoothly. Even hardware decoding with NVidia works fine. The cover art and metadata are fetched correctly, but granted, I only have popular titles. I don't know if it still works as well for indie or esoteric works.
I also think of faceted search of having the counts and narrowing the options as you drill down.

Ironically enough that was through Endeca which was introduced to my company (at great expense) as I was pushing for solr. Eventually solr became the tool of choice because it was more flexible and less cumbersome.
Ahh more insults and no evidence. Well done. I don’t know who hurt you or how I said anything to cause such a reaction but please relax.

All I am saying is it’s a lot more complex then just saying it’s bad and serves no purpose. I think there is probably a middle ground too but I would not even know how to get there. IEX still serves very little volume so I would say the market is not concerned about the current setup. Would love to know why you think it’s so bad.
You can find cheap disposable drones for £15 on Chinese sites. Weaponizing them should be pretty easy.

The only problem is that the novelty of the approach would be such, that it would bring too much visibility to the attack. Most bad actors don't want to be detected: "he fell from the window" or "his plane crashed" leaves the door open to coincidental causes. Drones are noticeable, particularly in swarms. They would be useful only in "showy" attacks, i.e. open terrorism, a tactic that is largely out of favor after 20+ years of substantial failure.
Japan is in population decline and people are moving to the city. There is no reversal of this trend. Compromise would not solve the problem anyway.

Making sure the the current crops of the residents are part of the local community is a good goal. They are not gonna win, might as well preserve what they have temporarily.
Since you're asking, I did downvote this comment. My reasoning is that it is factually dubious and unrelated to the topic.

The typing features are optional, so much so that CPython by default doesn't do anything with them.

>>> def f(x: int):
... return 2 * x
...
>>> f(1)
2
>>> f("hello")
'hellohello'

It's also a weird claim that typing is unpopular, since it's almost universally considered to be a Good Thing™.

The rest of the comment honestly sounds like a rant. Python has had governance independent of Guido for some time now, I don't really get the point.
The high dividend is interesting. Maybe being a porn company it is harder for to flip it to a FAANG or IPO so you might as well just get the cash out. When the next brrr happens he could borrow a few billion and pay that out as a dividend then sell the company on.
It's a minefield. I was in Sedona, and wanted to check the real-time shuttle schedule.

DOWNLOAD THIS APP.

I'm like: I'm on this website? It's an API call. Make the API call from the friggin' website.

Edit: I'm an idiot. On the screenshot where they refer you to the application it actually shows a URL:

Enjoy.
As far as I'm concerned that's a bug not a feature for them.
> wow does a company like this recruit good (or at least decent) talent?

Not everyone finds it objectionable, many people don't share prudish views that seem to dominate Chirtian America.
Willpower isn't all or nothing. I can't will myself to go to sleep an hour earlier, and if I set that as my standard, I'll fail.

But can I will myself to lie still in bed for two minutes? Much more likely. And, having succeeded and begun the building of a habit, can I lie still for 2.2 minutes the next night? Yes, I probably can.

I thought the point was to rethink how and where we apply willpower and set ourselves up to succeed more often by moving the "succeeding" bar within the realm of our current willpower, rather than holding some standard of "success" that our willpower can never meet.
Engineers have always walked a fine line between labor and capital because while on one hand they own nothing and do not manage anybody, they are also individually valued and work directly within (in a sense being at the core of) the planning functions of companies.

1) That's for the Ukrainian people to decide and nobody else. If the Ukrainians want to fight then we should help them do so.

2) These were targets on a military airbase.

3) They had an "armistice" for 8 years. It was a joke to begin with, which provided no real guarantees (as Russia continued to lie that they had nothing to do with the conflict throughout and as such they didn't need to agree to anything), signed at the point of a gun, was often ignored by both sides, and was shattered by a full scale Russian invasion

4) Ukraine has no reason to believe that any new "armistice" will lead to different outcomes than the last one - that is, Russia will maintain it a little while and then invade from a stronger starting position than the last time. Russia ignored the Budapest Memorandum, both Minsk agreements, the "grain deal" and just this week we saw what happened to Prigozhin. Any deal with Putin will last exactly as long as it takes for him to feel that he would benefit from breaking it.

Half as many cores, half the ram, and way less battery life due to higher power draw during suspend for some reason. It doesn't support the keyboard folio either. Depending on your criteria, one, or the other, is the better device.
Everyone knows that. I’m not sure why you would even bother pointing it out when it’s common knowledge. Unless it’s news for you because you were very young. But the fact that one person says there’s no turnaround coming, and the next person, me, says there will be because of a degenerate society in decline means nothing. Believe in salvation is a personal choice that everyone gets to make. We are compelled to confess our belief, but ultimately everyone has free will for their own choice. I’m basing my view off of historical trends during periods of societal decline. There will be a point in time when there will be no Christian revival. That’s the prophecy of Revelation. People are, and will start looking for better answers. There is one answer that has not only served us well, but it’s also true. Unless someone is strictly materialistic and doesn’t believe there is any supernatural realm whatsoever, the question has to be asked. Is Jesus who He says He is. If people seek the answers, I believe they will come to the same one that so many have before us. That Jesus absolutely is who He says He is, our creator, God.

My mailbox shows Play comms warning about these changes in July, April and October 2022. And that's just a glance.
Agreed. As a college student I sold hot dogs, one of the "perks" being as many dogs as you can eat, free. Being a poor student, you can imagine what my diet was.

I've probably eaten two in the 25 years since then.

The deference to local levels here is simply pragmatic. Constitutionally the environment is a provincial government responsibility. The Federal backstop is only legal because of the "peace, order, and good government" clause of our constitution.
Yes - hence why we have codified laws that specifically prohibit it in most countries around the world.
The current model of superconcentrating wealth among fewer and fewer individuals whilst everyone else gets screwed is not sustainable. This had to happen.
There is absolutely 0 point on checking russian official channels for anything apart from maybe weather forecast. They say truth only by mistake in most topics which would matter to outside observer, or to anybody on anything even remotely political.

Russia has a very very long tradition with lies left and right, to the point where entire generations of russian citizens are trained to take those lies apart and find some truth using some obscure negation logic. Or just zone out and ignore it completely, which is convenient for dictatorship there since those folks are very easy to manipulate.

I mean in same vein that polar tribes have say 30 names for different types of snow and ice, russians have various names for various types of lies. Go figure.
I think that would be an example of overlap in meaning, not sure how that shows "the website can't figure it out" since such overlaps are explicitly mentioned.
Good point—I didn't actually get that far into the idea. It would still be a ton of manual work, however. Even just the bootloader unlock, while not overly difficult, would be laborious on 30 computers.
It's already audited at several levels so it was voted down because it was a case of the Republicans wanting to add another layer. For the record almost all Republicans favor helping Ukraine just like the Democrats. What we are witnessing is Politics with Ukraine caught in the middle. Zelensky is putting a vote in front of the government that classifies any corruption as treason against the Nation and a minimum of 15 years in Prison with all assets seized.
> we don't want to get benefits.

Software engineers are the most coddled bunch out there. Our benefits are so far beyond the pale it’s embarrassing.
The thing is, sex work and porn is already filled with exploitation and grift. Taking a 20% cut for a bit of hosting and payment processing work is pretty greedy. Not as greedy as your everyday street pimp, but still: it's almost always men who profit off of sex work without doing much in return.
I don't doubt that. But how do they find candidates? And how do interested engineers find positions?
Your correlation between being a victim of badmouthing and being right is dubious. There's many people who are ill spoken of like that and are not right at all.
I’ve really enjoyed The Story of Classical in new iOS Classical music app.

The app itself is a pain with how it doesn’t integrate into things like CarPlay, but the album itself is great.

It’s a smart lead through classical music in 9 hour long episodes. Each explains the key pieces from different areas, with the history of the composers and social impact.

My 80 year old dad struggles trying to type on his phone. He uses voice to search YouTube videos for sermons, music, how to videos and to make calls.
No I think you're right (that's why I initially mentioned it): I remember seing the members only video and thinking "ah, that could have interested me", only to randomly later find in my feeds another "Quantum Derivative" video by him.

The subject/title are likely attractive enough for him to have decided to open access to it.
Doesn’t work with functions that take an arbitrary number of positional args.

Not sure of any real examples of that function API but I suspect that’s what Ned is going for.
I don't attend one, but I have stepped foot in some. Compared to an 'average' (200 person) church, the big ones have more refined music, teaching, and user experience. I guess it's easier to put more effort into content when the user base is 2,000 or 20,000, versus 200.

Interesting. Small nit, it was a state appeals court, not federal. Court opinion here: https://www.courts.ca.gov/opinions/documents/H049408.PDF
Admittedly, I'm being a bit pedantic, but that's not quite right. OnlyFans does content-oriented subscription. Porn producers flocked to it because it didn't care whether you wanted to generate porn or other content, but that doesn't make it the equivalent of a "sex shop." It's more like a pawn shop that only ever sees people pawning their jewelry. Just because 99% of the stuff they have for sale doesn't make it a jewelry shop.

Otherwise I totally agree, OF is synonymous with porn, full stop. It's a wonder they haven't been hit with the same restriction from credit card companies as sites like PornHub.
Seriously, like big tech has like 6 month standard paternity packages now. Try getting that at any other career in the USA.
In elasticsearch, you can do this with filter aggregations.

It's creepier.

One of the parts of having a pastor is using that person as a spiritual counselor. It's THE core part of their job. If you belong to a megachurch, then unless you are a huge donor, your pastor will likely never even know your name, much less help you out with any issues you might have with faith or morality based issues.
