> the common Russian male name Semyon (Семён)

Something that I wonder about is when Russian "e" gets transcribed "e" and when it gets transcribed "ye". They both happen and there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason. All other iotated vowels are consistently transcribed with leading Y.

I am pretty sure that in most cases where the vowel is transcribed "e", it's still iotated and should have been transcribed as "ye". But I'm not completely sure. Is there a rule that frequently reduces e to э?

I note that the English-language wiktionary entry for Семён indicates that the е is iotated. :/

Of course X11 is badly maintained. Because RedHat took over the maintenance and they want to push Wayland. They took it over to kill it.

X11 is not ideal but I don't think it'll really die. The big benefit of UNIX/Linux is choice. Including for a graphics stack.

I'd use Wayland if it worked with KDE on FreeBSD but it doesn't yet. But I'm not in a hurry anyway.
60k is very average for someone with 3-4y experience in Vienna and our salaries are much lower than in Germany. You should find another offer.

Unless you're talking about net income, then it is truly god-tier...
Advocating for unilateral disarmament is fine (it's a nash equilibrium). The only other stable solution to UD (unilateral disarmament) is MAD (mutually assured destruction).

Advocating for your own country to be handicapped while china/russia and others does the same thing is stupid.

Thankfully my freedom doesn't depend on people like you.
Dependence on a drug is not necessarily bad. Addiction absolutely is.

Addiction (substance use disorder) exists when a person exhibits two or more of the following symptoms: (1) impaired control, (2) social problems, (3) risky use, and (4) physical dependence.

Impaired control means using more of a substance or more often than intended; or wanting to cut down or stop use but not being able to.

Social problems includes things like neglecting responsibilities and relationships, abandoning activities the person used to care about, or failing to fulfill obligations at home, school or work - because of the substance use.

Risky use includes things like using in risky settings, continued use despite known problems, engaging in risky substance-related practices like sharing needles, risky sexual activity (because of, or in order to obtain the drug), and driving while intoxicated.

Physical dependence is needing more of the substance to get the
same effect, or having withdrawal symptoms when a substance isn't used.

Two or three symptoms indicate mild substance use disorder. Four or five symptoms indicate moderate, and six or more indicate severe substance use disorder. When people talk about addiction, they are typically referring to severe substance use disorder.

Physical dependence and tolerance are not the same as addiction. Substance use disorder is by definition problematic.
> 3. Your MONTHLY salary and combined comp per yer going back to 20XX when I came to the US.

You work at a big company. Your employer is choosing to sell this information to credit bureaus.

I first learned about this practice in the mid-2000s. Like you, I was quite surprised, but they didn't have any data on my own income or assets yet, and I resolved never to work for an employer that would engage in this type of business practice.

I think employers should be legally required to disclose and obtain written consent to sell your income data, but beyond that point, it's really on you to decide what employment arrangements you are willing or unwilling to accept. It's sad that you had to find out this way given how easy it would be for these employers to just disclose it upfront. I'd recommend looking for a different employer.

Sounds like the plot of Les Mis!
For now, I have a product in mind that is not yet completely clear, but to summarize briefly, I think something like this:

After the developers sign up with their products, they will add a method that we will provide (iframes, API calls, SDK integrations with auth-keys) to a part of their projects (for example, the landing page or the dashboard of their applications) and we will collect feedback from their users. Then, at certain intervals, we will extract various insights from this feedback and provide developers with data that will guide them in their next steps.

The feedback collected can be in the form of surveys or open-ended questions. As long as we have clean data that we can analyze.
Colly is a great scraping library if you are a Go developer.

Flyscrape on the other hand is a ready-made CLI tool that aims to be easy to use even for someone who is a little familiar with JavaScript. It just happens to be written in Go, but that should not matter to the end user.

It does not have full feature parity with Colly but most use cases should be covered.

You can’t get the old behavior back with a flag as of 1.17 and if you could I wouldn’t be complaining.

Also, the reason CN is deprecated has nothing to do with security but the maximum length of the field in the spec. Chrome ignores it but every cert I’ve seen recently still includes it for legacy compatibility.

It’s not a huge dealbreaker but it forced me to go make 3rd parties regenerate their certs before I could upgrade my version of go.
It’s not random people’s job on the internet to coach kids like this. I also disagree with you entirely on the way “adults” will perceive this behavior, so clearly there are no unanimous perspectives on how others will interpret things. Maybe this will be a good moment of reflection for you, an “adult”.
Sure, but why bother. There’s a point where you’d think they’d just focus on their local time and I feel like 6 am has passed it…
I was going to say that of course a bunch of Space Force people have already been put into space, but I just looked and it appears that none of the active duty military astronauts have actually been transferred to the Space Force; they're all still with their original services.

I don't know if the plan is to keep things that way or not. So far there has only been one round of astronaut selection since the founding of the Space Force. But the older services still have all the aviators, flight engineers / officers, and flight surgeons who have traditionally been competitive for selection.
This isn’t an opt-in service. It’s a dragnet surveillance system. All it knows is slurping up data. Are there case statements all over the codebases to exclude the execs of three different companies and congress?
Thank you for your comment, you make a good point. Do you think it would be better to design this product as B2B?

You may be right about essential vs accidental complexity - my domain knowledge is too weak to have an opinion - I just get the subjective impression of "holy crap this makes git feel like my mother tongue".

I heard they was gonna run in Nashville, I got my hopes up for some air off the hills and some cars lost down potholes.

But of course they prettied up a little bit of the tourist areas and just did that.

They wanna punch up the ratings they need to get less formal. GTA the whole thing up. Don't close the streets or warn the civilians.
A dream and fairness don’t have a lot to do with each other? Maybe a noble goal, but the goal may not be attainable.

You can buy land for cheap in rural areas of California and build a house there for less than this quoted median (substantially so). But where will you work? Your kids, where do they go to school? Want a latte? Learn to make your own I guess, and appreciate the hour drive to the store.

California has many reasons not market related for its situation. But people want to live in the cities because they offer services hard to literally impossible to get in the rural areas (like high speed internet?).

If population keeps growing the American dream will be a memory. That’s sad, I admit. I don’t like this. But it’s the reality of limited space proximate to desired services.
> You say "somebody" would need to already know a lot about the user to make use of your database. But from my perspective - perspective of the user - that "somebody" could just as well be your company

Well yes, noticing problems in these databases and providing consulting towards their mitigation (ideally before the pain shows up) is more or less what we're selling. Some degree of analysis must remain possible because otherwise it would be unclear what the user is paying us for.

My point is just that different situations call for different privacy postures. "Anonymization = Untrustworthy" glosses over this in a way that doesn't help us find ways to improve the situation.

These headlines only work if you are stuck in a behaviouralist view of biology where all animals behave essentially like dumb robots. It was a common view in academia until the 1950s and even later in psychiatry. These days things are much better. No serious animal cognition researcher today should be surprised by rats or mice having imaginations.

I had to uninstall/reinstall on iOS, but then the song search became visible. It helped me track down this ballad our school jazz band played back in high school. I searched fruitlessly every few years or so through playlists of ballads, and one time six or so years ago I recorded me playing it on Alto Sax and posted it to Reddit, but no luck for nearly two decades, til now, so thanks!

Here’s the song for the curious:

Why not just take them to an order screen, take their money, and then disappear.
Experian allows unfreezing via their site in the article. If someone can easily recreate your account, they can unfreeze it which makes it pretty useless.
More importantly, they can require you provide a government ID and perform a liveness selfie check. This is the gold standard for remote identity proofing. Onboarding secure authenticators is best practice to bind digital identity to IRL identity when proofing occurs and identity assurance is high.
For me, missing a night of sleep has a much, much larger cognitive effect than missing a cup of coffee. What I was trying to express was that the percent change is much higher, not that it’s infinite.

Trying to be more practical and a touch less sarcastic for a minute… I find, on average, I tend to get about two hours more work done on days where I spend at least 45 min in the gym and that includes the hour or more loss from the activity itself. Skipping caffeine on the other hand, doesn’t have any effect unless I’ve missed sleep the night before.

If you are thinking of dipping your toes into supplements though and don’t really want to exercise or sleep, I’ve found Creatine to be really helpful in that state. Definitely a stronger effect than caffeine but takes a lot longer to kick in!
The one account that I read on threads hasn't posted an update in months. Their twitter is still really active. I'd say this is true for basically everyone that I read on twitter.

You mean kicking back over some eggs benedict, a meat and cheese charcuterie board, with some champagne on the side, sitting back in your pine-panelled centrally heated chalet overlooking mountain landscapes relaxing having risen at 4.30pm for a hill run and vigorous workout isn't fitting what most Europeans do on a Sunday morning?
ML with a borrow checker is a bit of an oxymoron though. Because proper closures (the kind Rust can't do) are essential for the classic functional programming that ML represents.
Hi.

I watched an ietf video of meeting, second last maybe? And they were discussing types of users.

Companies, like Google WhatsApp

Corporates. Govt.

End users with own servers.

The idea was end users should not be part of the decentralized network as you cant ask FB to network with a 1 person server but isnt matrix.org already able to do that? Why take that functionality away when it works without problems? Yes spam but it can be managed

We picked it as one of two distros we provide internal support for because it continues to provide a good balance between being up to date and being stable.
This isn't a "hack," this is pure almost malicious incompetence by everyone in the Experian security chain, straight up to the CISO herself.

They should absolutely be fined and punished harshly even beyond that. If SBF can go to prison, so can the CISO of Experian.
And even more puzzling why is qualifying starting at midnight. That's 3 eastern lol.

Not that it changes much beyond the US GDP but you labeled the per minute figure per second.

Impact aside, which is should absolutely impact more, I'm almost doubtful the practice is even a net loss for them. ${years} of the hiring practice for an unknown number of individuals may have even been worth more than the fine.

Some other comments note it may have other impacts though, so maybe that's the real influence.
I read the book quite recently and thought most of it was still relevant. But wouldn't regard it is one of the best programming books from my pov. It was a good read though.
You likely gave consent in the mound of paperwork they had you sign when you applied and closed.
You are probably on the right path IMHO. What wad that quote where Einstein said the mathematicians got hold of relativity, and turned it into something he didn't understand any more?
I like reading young programmers' code: It's interesting to see how they design everything with a decently high level of knowledge, but not the years of experience. The author seems to be a fast learner, and this is a great result for 6 months of work.
Yes I mean for users you can just prefix the url to pull the image. For publishers you just need a public repo, it can be empty. And push your image to that as a release or use github actions to build/publish it.

I don’t believe there are any stated limits, they probably have dynamic limits mostly for abuse, but regular/heavy usage will not encounter that.

It depends on the condo how much. But usually millage and values for tax purposes are often less than houses. I’ve not done the fully loaded math, but I would expect including maintenance and other expenses condos are less per month than an equivalent priced house.
If you have any sort of Experian bureau activity, you're at risk by this issue whether you manage your profile with this site or not
As a F1 fan at the West coast, 6am or 7am are my favorite time for race events. It allows me to watch the race with a nice cup of coffee and still have a full, productive day ahead. Of most races, like in Europe, were in the middle of the day I'd stop watching again like I did when I lived in Germany. I have other stuff to do than depend 20+ weekends a year watching F1
Yeah but that’s too early for Europe. It’s just an optimization problem across many dimensions. And rarely is the optimum there the optimum if you disregard all but one dimension.

Some combination of “strip looks better at night”, “showtime or post”, “needs to be viewable by Europeans” and so on.

The goto's are for proper cleanup on error.

All of the options for doing so in C are awful; I just think goto is the least bad option. Otherwise, you get if statements that keep nesting, deeper and deeper.

The thing that the surface is radiating to is the cold blackness of outer space. This is why it feels colder on a cloudless day or night.

Buy it's dark at 6pm. No need to wait till 10pm or midnight in the car of qualifying. I watch pretty much everything live, including many FP sessions, but I'm not gonna watch this qualifying live that's in my own timezones! Ridiculous!
Better than 2pm, ruining the entire day for pretty much anything else.

Huh?

I'm not an Apple manager. Never have been one.

I didn't "threaten" anyone, and it's kind of an ... interesting ... leap of "logic" to have arrived at that inference.

All I said, and, if you go back and read it, you'll see this, was that this is a professional forum. It isn't LinkedIn (Thank Yog-Sothoth), but it is probably more relevant than LI, for the careers of many folks here.

I'm retired. I'm not looking for work.

The same cannot be said for most others, participating here.

I find it rather depressing, to see bright, talented folks, letting future managers know that they don't play well with others. As a former (non-Apple) manager, I can tell you that team cohesion is even more important than rockstar coders.

When we share on a forum like this, we are talking to our future peers and managers. We are telling them what it would be like, to have us working for|with them.

No one is doing me any damage, by attacking me. They may be making themselves feel a bit better about themselves, but I guarantee that their propensity for combativeness does not go unnoticed. When our first interaction-ever, with another person, is a direct insult, then that tells people something about the way we interact with our peers.

If we believe that managers would be happy to recruit warriors, then I guess it's OK. I just haven't met any managers (and I've known many) that prefer having staff that like to "stir the pot." That’s not always a good thing, as a truly creative, high-quality workplace will have disagreements; just not poo-flinging matches.

Sure, my original statement was probably provocative. I didn't mean it to be so, but it was interpreted that way. I didn't mean that Apple, as an organization, wasn't interested in saving money, just that the Ockham's Razor thingy says that it's likely to be individual (probably former) Apple managers that were chiefly responsible for the suit. Kind of basic human nature.

One of the ways that I try to be a good citizen on HN, is to not get into fights, here, so that's all I'll say. I apologize (sincerely) for the provocative nature of my original comment. I didn't mean it to be that way, but understand how it was interpreted. That's on me. I should have worded it different.

Now, why don't we all just take a few breaths, and remember that we're (probably) all grown-ups?
> 2015 macbooks having faulty batteries that want to explode, and then the next generations being that terrible keyboard, where every single employee needed their entire top cover replaced at least once because the keyboard didn't even last a year.

IIRC there was a recall/replacement program for those batteries as well as earlier generations of the butterfly keyboard. I'm not a fan of the butterfly keyboard, but Apple did replace it twice for free. The final revision fixed the reliability problems for me at least.
That sounds like the job of management to do..
The comparisons are in the article.
Apple has definitely had screen cracking issues in the past, and I believe it has been a covered repair/replacement.
One app I use heavily is Blokada. It's a loopback "VPN" that runs completely locally, so all your traffic can be routed through the adblocking application running inside the VPN.

There's two versions of this app. From their website, it offers all the above features, but when installed from the Play Store there's no local VPN, it's only for connecting to a premium cost remote VPN.
