When searching for a legitimate recovery company to help recover lost cryptocurrency, it is crucial to exercise caution and thorough research. Unfortunately, the cryptocurrency space is also ripe with scams and fraudulent services, so it's important to verify the credibility of any recovery company before engaging its services. One way to assess legitimacy is to look for reviews and testimonials from previous clients. Trustworthy recovery companies should have a track record of successfully assisting clients in recovering their lost crypto assets. and this is the main reason I will recommend ALLEGIANT PRO HACKER to anyone who wishes to recover their lost cryptocurrency.

A lot of people are actually anti-worker but don't realize it explicitly as such; it's also the "Crab effect" (pull down those trying to escape the pot).
> ARE YOU PEOPLE OUT OF YOUR BLOODY MIND?

No, they’re just stupid, or at best, ignorant to a degree that makes them incompetent.
So the writing isn't repetitive.
Does the job you're hiring for actually require sorting a list? If Kroger wants to hire a new CEO, they're unlikely to require candidates to walk up to the cash register and ring up customers even if it's a very basic skill for the industry.
Just today I was writing a json response to an incorrect login.
I had the option to discern and inform that the username was not correct, that the password was not correct, or both were not correct.
I deliberately decided that I'd code and supply a single error message stating that there were 'something wrong with the credentials supplied'. So I stayed generic in order not to give additional info to any malicious user... so I believe there's at least one good reason to use a generic error message. Am I wrong?
All 3 of these points don't actually lead you to 100% proof of anything, they ultimately amount to "I have made the language math machine output the same thing with many tests". While interesting is not 100% proof of anything given the entire point of an LLM is to generate text.
Deemed non-proper in a lot of field and by many advisor (whose approval you need). But, also, technical vocabulary is specific which matter when you operate at the edge of knowledge.
To characterize a mode of communication the learner is struggling to understand as "easy communication" is badly missing the point.
> Are you also fine with CSAM scanning tools being installed everywhere?

No, and neither am I ok with anticheat software doing it. Afaik, most anticheats don’t do that. They just make sure that nothing is modifying/injecting into the game code. Which is imo reasonable, as the anticheat is just monitoring for any injections/modifications to the game that it came with.
Cool nice place to promote student projects.
> if you can't tailor your CV to the job, and can't write half a page rationale

There's "can't" and there's "won't." Programmers in demand won't spend the time, which leaves you with programmers who are desperate enough for work to jump through your hoops (unless you're FAANG or a unicorn). You're effectively filtering your candidate pool down to people you don't want to hire. Round and round we go.
It's next to Neves' Law ("The harder a bug is to find, the smaller the diff to fix it will be.") in the deleted list in Wikipedia.

They both were discovered by former colleagues of mine. And named by me.
I had the same reaction. Has this person tried Mastodon? It matches everything he's describing.
Depends what level you are comfortable with. Given that the kalman filter makes certain statistical assumptions (normally distributed) you need to be familiar with at least statistics, and know what mean/covariance matrices are. If so you should be able to follow the derivation in https://sites.ualberta.ca/~dwiens/stat679/meinhold&singpurwa... up until section 4. (Beyond section 4 it's really just a matter of grinding out the math, and while necessary for implementing it in a practical fashion doesn't really give you any additional understanding).
But of course "lunchtime" is a completely meaningless term for me.

1 - I rarely eat a meal in the middle of my day. In fact I usually only eat once, so is that one meal lunch? or breakfast? or dinner? or what ??

2 - My day not only isn't the same as yours, it isn't even the same from day to day, so even if I agreed to call my one meal lunch instead of dinner, it does not come at the same time as yours does, and does not even come at the same time from day to day, and does not even come at the same time relative to when I am awake let alone the absoluet time.

It's inconsiderate to think this is reasonable for everyone else because it's reasonable for you. It's like how kids and the untravelled and otherwise ignorant presume everyone else's life is exactly the same as theirs.

I could translate of course, because of course I know what it means for probably the majority of everyone else, but why should I have to do that? This whole topic is about convenience and meaning, and this would be inconvenient and of only arbitrary meaning to me. It would be like calling it "triangle time" sure, I could just know that that means around noon. Why should my interface require me to translate from markers that are meaningful to someone else's life but not to mine?

A worse example just to show what's so wrong would be like calling sunday "church day". Or sunday afternoon "right after church". That would be not only inconsiderate but downright offensive. For a lot of people that would be perfectly fine and some of them would even fail to see why that should be a problem for anyone.

And the offense isn't just mentioning a religion, it's the assumption, the turning anyone else into the exception, when they are not an exception, they are equal.
That's like saying that I'm hallucinating right now by reading your post and interpreting the words, it just happens to be that I'm reading your post as it is written.

Most people call that "thinking".
My advice is to accept that few people — especially those who believe they know more than you do — enjoy being told what to do. The trick is to seek out high value opportunities from your best and most knowledgeable (i.e. influential) reports, then to move the earth to make space and time for them to execute. Leadership happens on the floor. Don’t expect your vision to be shared amongst your reports.

I used to own one, but I find the rods too short - it's good for small, 12-cm blades, but it's useless for anything bigger.

Right now I switched to proper water stones :)
I was in the Donau valley two years ago (a gorgeous place) and the local train station for a village of under thousand people had fully mechanical operation! As in: levers, pulleys, weights that had to be cranked up, springs and even those cool mechanical sign posts that work on gravity and steel rods.

It was beautiful engineering, I spent hours watching it all being operated by two men who lived on the station. I can only imagine how such old tech is holding everything back. But can also appreciate how it just keeps running: it just needs skilled humans, and lots of grease.
Bringing a knife to an AirBNB or a sharpener is a must imo. I have yet to ever go to one where the knives aren’t essentially prop knives they’re so dull.
He had different wedges of wood with angles matched to different plane irons -- the wood would slide on the table/bench while the edge of the blade would go over the stone. Holding the iron against the angled block seemed to keep the angle consistent.

Your team could (genuinely) benefit from attending Handmade [0] next month. Specifically hosting a job booth [1] - which can be done physically or virtually.

It's an indie conference for systems programmers (lots of assembly and C/C++ experts) and we have success stories of employers hiring people at Handmade. You'll notice some of last year's companies are even coming back this year.

Full disclosure: I'm the organizer.

Context not control. Tell them what problem you want solved, not how to do it. If they ask for help, offer your experience like a peer not a boss: "This is how I would do it. What about this here?".

They will do it differently than you. Accept that. As long as the goal is accomplished it doesn't matter how they got there.

As long as they understand why they are doing something and the constraints, magic will happen. In the meantime get out of the way and clear blockers for them.

Returning to the office is costing you $51 per day, study finds
Germany has privatized a lot of infrastructure and what happens is as expected. The only way to make money is to cut corners, unlike a state which gets that "value" back in its economy growing due to go infrastructure, private industry can't make profit that way.

The profit in infrastructure is economic growth and optimizations of people's mobility. This can only be done by a state. A state can still mess it up but it is the only entity that can do it.

Good luck getting a "Taktfahrplan" working if you have to rely on private rail companies optimizing for every last dollar and having the locomotives catch fire blocking lines for hours. When the Fung Wah Bus breaks down for the 10th time on the way to NY it doesn't block all traffic but with rail you don't have the luxury to drive around it.

The extensive damage in the Swiss Gotthard Base Tunnel was caused by a bad wheel from a foreign rail company that cut costs to a point of running rail cars with wheels that have way too many km on them.

Lots of people here kind complaining about bad managers. I tried to be a good manager but its exhausting, you end up doing everything yourself because its easier. I think it might be easier to try to be a bad manager, at least at first. Give deadlines, tell them what you want, and let them figure it out. I dont like giving projects like that but realistically its pretty normal, dont over think it.
The Pacific Northwest.

Another aspect: we aren't a pure computer tech company. We manufacture industrial equipment that uses a lot of tech. So I know that it wouldn't even occur to a lot of devs to apply.

That's why one of the pieces of advice I give to devs looking for work is to not restrict yourself to the obvious software houses. All sorts of types of businesses hire devs, and lots of them are doing cutting-edge, very interesting work.
Interesting feedback but focus on cost is a old debate. Your feedback seems more about 3D than AI. A lot of developers also want a better user experience, reliability. My reply is that M1 and M2 are just the beginning as Apple is investing billion of dollars in R&D. Also, no PC laptops can do better than AS architecture today, at a lower cost than high-end PC laptops and more battery life. Pro servers is next step. M2 ultra is just a preview. Just saw two weeks ago, an engineer doing a demo of Llama 2 on a recent AMD laptop. he was complaining how slow it was compared to a Mac. Again, Apple is leading for laptops now, server is next. M3 will remove memory limitation.
Thanks for correcting me. I could have sworn that this did not happen for quite a number of years after that. I was wrong.

Personally to me it does look like that's the idea. GDPR might be a good idea but compliance with it for small bussiness is very hard. Pretty sure that to this day if you actually audited them a lot of would get fined, as it can only trully be understood by lawyers, as most laws do. Personal interpretations of it "It's not hard, just do x..." don't matter, what courts think matter.
> Labor shortage? You realize it’s just the low pay that causes this impression.

I don’t think it’s just that, because the unemployment rate is especially low.
Why not just display it in the viewers' timezone?
You are assuming an American date format. The format of the date may come from

1. Your browser locale.

2. The developer's preference and ignoring the locale.

3. The server's configuration (so the operators preference).

4. Guessed based on your current network location.

I guess if you are in the US using a US locale it is usually true if you are visiting a US site as almost all of these will select a US locale so it doesn't matter the source, but it is impossible to be sure. And if you live outside of the US or use a non-US locale then at least one of these will frequently return a different locale and you will have little way to know which format is being used.
Absolutely but if he was relatively inexperienced, which is somewhat likely for a college student, he may have fallen victim to believing that he'd remember it all when he came back to it. Afterall, it's all fresh in his mind and all makes sense when he's making the decision to strip all of that out instead of adding the preprocessing step. After getting burnt a time or two, one learns to ignore the current state of mind and realize things will be very different a year later.
I agree. I have spent roughly a decade reflecting on my code, iterating on it, simplifying it, trying different styles. Basically just mutating.

Now even when I am trying to go fast it comes out pretty clean.

Evolution only occurs through mutation.

Those who never mutate, never evolve.

TASC was written in AppleSoft. And AppleSoft was an interpreted language, no compiler. Variable names were stored uncompressed, so shorter names took up less space.
> Tbh using DOCSIS4.0 is probably a mistake and a dead end technology. Virgin Media in the UK said the cost of upgrading to 4.0 from their 3.1 network was only half that of actually laying full fibre to all their covered premises, so they are instead rolling out FTTH everywhere instead.

Let's put this into proper perspective.

The state of Texas alone is ~2.8x larger than the entire UK.

Comcast FY22 Residential Broadband generated ~5x more revenue (spot FX; about the same circa end of CY22) and serves ~5x more customers [1; pp. 42-43] than all of Virgin Media O2 Fixed-Line over the same period [2; pp. 5-6].

To think what might make infra capex business sense for Virgin Media in the UK would be asymptotically transferable to Comcast in the US as a broadcast telecom with 6 decades of history and at the prevailing cost of capital strikes me as quite naive.

I'm surprised that quiet quitting has moved on from meaning to not put in your best effort to working fewer hours.

I work part-time, but I would say I'm doing the opposite of quiet quitting, I would even dare say I'm more working more efficient than some 40-hour colleagues.

> So for example check modified, inode number against the previous version.

To be honest, I didn't even try this because the destination machine is Windows, I didnt think inode number had an equivalent in windows, but after googling, there might be a way.

Another great suggestion.

As for the full checksum, I went with a chunk size of the first and the last of the file, (the changes are very small, property based) but I don't think its as reliable.
Yeah, it's a real shame. I emailed a laptop manufacturer once and asked for documentation, they gave me a link to Ubuntu help pages. Why are they so reluctant to provide documentation? It makes no sense, they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. They don't need to spend money supporting stuff, they just need to not get in the way.

> when a job ad lists C++17+ I'm really hesitant to apply.

While I've actively worked in many languages, C++ has been the bulk of my experience. And I am the same way. I can certainly work with C++17+, but I have learned that I dislike it strongly enough that I don't consider such jobs at all.
Umm... that was the point of the article.

The article claims this too. I’ll be honest: it doesn’t match up with my experience. Self check kiosks are frustrating, even for people with the patience of a saint (which also should not be a requirement to buy things).
It is a weighed average of the propagated uncertainty of a state and the uncertainty of a measurement of that state. If you walk towards a wall with your eyes closed as time on you will be less and less certain where you are (prediction steps) then when your fingers touch the wall you will suddenly be much more certain where you are (measurement update). The linear algebra is just how you calculate the weights for a linear dynamical system with gaussian noise.
The first is a butchers steel, these were traditionally just a plain smooth steel rod which were used to repair the edge, shoving a knife through a joint tends to bend the very fine edge of the blade leaving what seems like a very dull spot. Essentially a heavy duty strop that would bend the edge back straight. These days they make them with abrasives embedded in the surface and are used to put a micro bevel on the knife, useful for the working chef but the home cook would be better off just sharpening the knife once or twice a month.

A whetstone is just a synonym for sharpening stone. The oil helps keep the removed particles of steel from getting embedded in the stone and clogging it. Water or oil is used with most types of sharpening stones for this purpose.

No problem! Lucky for us they uploaded all the issues of the catalog. : )

If you look on the Wikipedia page there were a few related physical stores over the years:

> the Whole Earth Catalog was preceded by the "Whole Earth Truck Store" which was a 1963 Dodge truck. In 1968, Brand, who was then 29, and his wife Lois embarked "on a commune road trip" with the truck, hoping to tour the country doing educational fairs. The truck was not only a store, but also an alternative lending library and a mobile microeducation service.

> In 1969, a store which was inspired by (but not financially connected with) The Whole Earth Catalog, called the Whole Earth Access opened in Berkeley, California. It closed in 1998. In 1970 a store called the "Whole Earth Provision Co.", inspired by the catalogue, opened in Austin, Texas.[27] It has six stores in Austin, Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio.

Admittedly the game I was implementing was the card game Patience, but still.

In LA, it's nothing to do with funding - it's the fact that public transportation is perceived as filthy and unsafe[1] according to the LA Metro's own data. The majority of ridership is comprised of people earning <25k/yr and likely are forced to use it because they can't afford a vehicle, and most of these folks stop using public transportation the moment they have another option.

I don’t think so, a language by default doesn’t really have any access to the environment (ignoring side channels like Rowhammer attacks) aside from access to memory and the CPU.

Germany is simply investing to little.
Last year Switzerland invested more than 3 times the amount per person (413€) in rail infrastructure compared to Germany(124€).
And the years before Germans spent even less. They increased the budget already by 40% from 2021 to 2022.
