> What resources do you recommend folks at my level look into?

You could take a look at the classics (design patterns by the gang of four)

Besides pure reading / doing theoretical reasearch I would strongly recommend to do practical exercises in different programming languages.

Since the nature of different programming languages is to solve different problems in better ways, I would aim for languages with different concepts [1].

Try to understand concepts in modern languages (python, JavaScript, Java, c, rust, go, etc.) but also more uncommon like LISP, SmallTalk or Erlang.

The rationing already occurs in the reservation process, without money changing hands.

> This is by definition increasing economic efficiency

Bespoke markets are by definition economically inefficient. There's a reason most people buy mass-manufactured cars, and it's not just the cost, it's that bespoke car production cannot make enough cars to meet demand.

At absolute best a bespoke market may sell a few more of a limited set of dining opportunities to others through the additional marketing medium. At better what bespoke markets do is maximize profit taking. At bad this maximization of profit taking channels money to the middleman that otherwise would have gone to the merchant (as there will be people who pay for a reservation and then order the cheapest meal at the restaurant, as they can't afford more). And at worst this makes it inconvenient for people to frequent the restaurant, resulting in an overall reduction of customers. The bad and worst circumstances can result in fewer operating restaurants. And artificial resource scarcity is the opposite of economically efficient.
Except if the law covers EU citizens this daemon doesn't make sense. I'm a EU citizen outside of the EU, and GDPR still covers me. I may not have recourse against a company that solely operates in the country I'm at. But Apple surely operates here and in the EU.

Wow I didn't think I would but I really hate this.

Not having the glyph of a specific letter always align with itself vertically in a monospace font is just horrendous. It's so unpleasant for me to look at it makes the whole horizontal spacing thing moot.

A more accurate headline would be "Advertisers don't care if sites like Jezebel exist".

But the statement from WGA sums in fairly well:

> “A well-run company would have moved away from an advertising model, but instead they are shuttering the brand entirely because of their strategic and commercial ineptitude.

Sites with niche, let alone controversial, perspectives and approaches, aren't going to attract ad dollars from Ford or Apple. Those brands have better, safer, places to spend their dollars.
Because they thought that her series of previous medical treatments were her parents committing medical abuse which put her life in danger (Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy); that this was not merely a reasonable conclusion at the time but the correct conclusion in retrospect appears to have been the hospital's argument at trial, even.

Just wanted to note Go does only a partial monomorphization, only monomorhpizes for gcshapes and not for all types. This severely limits the optimization potential and adds a runtime cost to dispatch, at least in its initial implementation.

> she refused to close most of the open apps or browser tabs for various reasons

At some point I got in the habit of closing tabs and restarting web browsers periodically as their RAM footprint would expand until they were consuming gigabytes.

I'd like to think that an 8GB machine could easily support hundreds of open browser tabs, but this may not actually be true, especially if you don't run an aggressive ad blocker.
Vertical farms are fundamentally less efficient than traditional greenhouses or open fields.

The main limiting factor for crop productivity is sunlight, and vertical farms drastically reduce the sunlight-to-plant ratio. They are only productive if substantial artificial light is provided, but this is very expensive. This is why vertical farms are generally limited to locations where land values are very high (such that it is more economical to artificially light crops than to simply grow on a larger plot of land) and there is substantial government investnebt to growing food locally, even though it is much more expensive than importing food. For example, we see veryical farms in Singapore because it is striving to be more self-sufficient for defense reasons in the event of war.

It is no solution for most countries, particularly countries that have rural regions suited to agriculture.
Agreed.

This piece demonstrates that Buffet is human.

AND…

It took a lot of courage by ProPublica to put out this piece knowing they would deal with the wrath of the Buffet faithful. No one had any issues when they were reporting on Clarence Thomas.

Unfortunately there is quite the cult-like mentality around Buffet. He is worshipped by many who fail to see that while gifted he is no different than any other human.

By this I mean he is capable of trading on personal benefit, fear, avarice and ignorance just like any other human being.

Right but if it’s a breaking-news-tiktok-video the C2PA will probably be absent and then said media co plays the “did we just Fox News smear Dominion?” game. Which isn’t so bad a tradeoff today while C2PA is new.

The C2PA might theoretically prevent forgery of the C2PA record, but it cannot certify that the pixels happened due to an event or due to a trick.
Indeed, and EV's batteries will become more and more significant ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle-to-grid ), as will the clean backup provided by green hydrogen (obtained thanks to electricity overproduced by renewables, then fed to turbo-alternators during periods of insufficient production).
This might be an autism thing for me but turning on texture healing on that page is so horrible it actually made me flinch.

The fact that the "i" in "terminal dimensions" and the "i" in "width" aren't underneath each other makes it look like my monitor is broken or something. It's like someone has done it on purpose to mess with me.
So the air conditioning system essentially runs at a fixed capacity (although some very modern aircraft with electric compressors may vary). Pressure is regulated by controlling the amount of air exhausted by the cabin outflow valve near the back of the airplane.

Since they're are so many variables that can go into the inflow and outflow rates it's unlikely that anybody had characterized outflow valve position in all possible conditions. Nor is it's specific position of any concern, just that it be in the right position to maintain the selected cabin pressure.

So no, it's unlikely that they're would be an alert attached to its position, what is however likely is that they're is an alert to warn that cabin pressure has deviated from the commanded pressure. In this case though they never found themselves in a position where the aircraft was unable to regulate cabin pressure.
The scalper issue would go away if tickets were auctioned off instead in order to find the actual equilibrium price. I know that this is a solution that some of these only platforms considered. Nothing ever happened. However, now they are marketplaces and the ticket gets sold twice which means the platform gets commission twice. So no scalpers made money on the delta between sticker price and equilibrium and the platform for commission twice. All that is money that the artist and venue aren't seeing. Just do auctions!

Edit: The reservations also weren't free. For several restaurants I've had to figure out at what time new reservation open up, set an alarm and then still sometimes not get a seat because it's already booked out. When I traveled to Spain we had one place we called late at night our time to get a reservation. None of that is free. I'd happily paid extra to avoid this trouble and beer certain that I can go to the restaurants for which I'm traveling to another continent.
Yes, but the restaurant has set prices they think are appropriate for their food. They want to be open to any customer willing to pay $x per person to eat, more or less. Scalpers make it so that people who can only barely pay $x per person are supplanted by people willing to pay much more. These people have higher ability to pay, but that doesn't mean they will receive as much utility as the people who are being priced out.

The restaurant cares about increasing people's utility, not about only serving a the wealthiest fraction of people who can afford their food (those with the highest ability to pay).
Actually…

It took a lot of courage by ProPublica to put out this piece knowing they would deal with the wrath of the Buffet faithful.

No one had any issues when they were reporting on Clarence Thomas.

Considering the power that Buffet wields in the marketplace, he and his followers should welcome inspection, reporting and oversight in the same way that chief justices should.

The irony is deafening.
Yes. Good bosses do the shitty and awkward tasks for anyone else to do.

When a specific task absolutely needs to be done, the boss asks for volunteers, delegates, or does it themselves in that order.

The era of militarist corporations dictating downward, monopolizing information like it's some fucking government intelligence agency, and employees bending the knee to inflated egos upward is over.

Bosses now are organizational and individual employee facilitators of said employees getting shit done and improvements thereof.

Laying out what milestones need to get done and helpful bits to get there without micromanaging. Checking in and asking questions if there are any blocking items is okay.

Open-mindedness, dispassionate failure analysis, and 360 feedback are important to maintain professionalism and growth.
I've never had an SSD that just stopped allowing writes and returns an error. Instead it gets slower and slower until at some point attempting to write anything will just block forever. The process trying will be stuck in the I/O wait "D" state in Linux and be basically unkillable.

Edit: I should clarify this is what I've seen with nvme devices in particular.
Ah so scammers are ordering real products, paying full price, and returning counterfeit products that cost them less than the real product, getting a refund on the full real product price then selling or keeping the real product - got it!

If the scammers keep the real item, they effectively get a real product at counterfeit prices. If they sell it, they make the difference between real and counterfeit in profit less shipping.
How can they trust either side won’t do it anyway?
>The Unix epoch is midnight on January 1, 1970. It's important to remember that this isn't Unix's "birthday" -- rough versions of the operating system were around in the 1960s. Instead, the date was programmed into the system sometime in the early 70s only because it was convenient to do so, according to Dennis Ritchie, one the engineers who worked on Unix at Bell Labs at its inception.

>"At the time we didn't have tapes and we had a couple of file-systems running and we kept changing the origin of time," he said. "So finally we said, 'Let's pick one thing that's not going to overflow for a while.' 1970 seemed to be as good as any."

Yes. The trick is good rapport, a sense of humor, and respect rather than familiarity leading to contempt.

I disagree.

In this time of tremendous wealth inequality, I welcome their in-depth reporting that holds the powerful accountable regardless of what side of the political sphere they sit.

ProPublica is demonstrating that they will report on both liberals and conservatives.

…on Republican chief justices and “progressive” billionaires.

We need more journalism of this type not less of it.
The business insider title is click bait. They asked Amazon to remove counterfeit ads from their when searching for Apple products.

Honestly, this should be done for every major brand.
Replay's founders originally worked as engineers on the Firefox DevTools (and in fact our debugger client UI started as a fork of the FF Devtools codebase, although at this point we've rewritten basically every single feature over the last year and a half). So, the original Replay implementation started as a feature built into Firefox, and thus the current Replay recording browser you'd download has been our fork of Firefox with all the recording capabilities built in.

But, Chromium is the dominant browser today. It's what consumers use, it's devs use for daily development, and it's what testing tools like Cypress and Playwright default to running your tests in. So, we're in the process of getting our Chromium fork up to parity with Firefox.

Currently, our Chromium for Linux fork is fully stable in terms of actual recording capability, and we use it extensively for recording E2E tests for ourselves and for customers. (in fact, if you want to, all the E2E recordings for our own PRs are public - you could pop open any of the recordings from this PR I merged yesterday [0] and debug how the tests ran in CI.)

But, our Chromium fork does not yet have the UI in place to let a user manually log in and hit "Record" themselves, the way the Firefox fork does. It actually automatically records each tab you open, saves the recordings locally, and then you use our CLI tool to upload them to your account. We're actually working on this "Record" button _right now_ and hope to have that available in the next few weeks.

Meanwhile, our Chrome for Mac and Windows forks are in early alpha, and the runtime team is focusing on stability and performance.

Our goal is to get the manual recording capabilities in place ASAP so we can switch over and make Chromium the default browser you'd download to make recordings as an individual developer. It's already the default for configuring E2E test setups to record replays, since the interactive UI piece isn't necessary there.

Also, many of the new time-travel-powered features that we're building rely on capabilities exposed by our Chromium fork, which the Firefox fork doesn't have. That includes the improved React DevTools support I've built over the last year, which relies on our time-travel backend API to extract React component tree data, and then does post-processing to enable nifty things like sourcemapping original component names even if you recorded a production app. I did a talk just a couple weeks ago at React Advanced about how I built that feature [1]. Meanwhile, my teammate Brian Vaughn, who was formerly on the React core team and built most of the current React DevTools browser extension UI, has just rebuilt our React DevTools UI components and started to integrate time-travel capabilities. He just got a working example of highlighting which props/hooks/state changed for a selected component, and we've got some other neat features like jumping between each time a component rendered coming soon. All that relies on data extracted from Chromium-based recordings.

it could be because all that rdf stuff didn't get strong adaptation, so no interest to build common core ontologies outside specific niches.
Yes, I’m aware of its origins, but as I said, for the overwhelming majority of people, cyberpunk is an aesthetic genre, not a political one. The same is not true for solarpunk.

That makes me so mad! Just put down a checklist and I'll gladly do it! Not sure why emotional manipulation needs to happen!
Yeah, something like this.

There are two kinds of "advertising" model on the web, in one you put some javascript on the page and outsource your ads to one or more advertising networks. In the other, you add an advertising group to your business and they go out and talk to people about advertising on your site. Depending on your daily active users you also talk about subscriptions.

But "well loved" and "not loved enough that people would actually pay money to read it" are kind of wide spread these days.
Yes exactly. That's an example of a headline which is plainly nonsense.

Advertisers don't want to advertise on sites like Jezebel. That's what they say, and that's also what they reflect in their actions by pulling advertising from sites which they don't feel reflect their brand.

If Jezebel wanted to keep doing "brave" journalism that advertisers don't like, they needed to find a business model that didn't rely on advertises to pay for it.

As Android dev (yes I use Android Studio) who works with MBA 2017, I think it's enough... to a certain degree. As long as you don't open >20 browser tabs and running Android emulator on the same time, which is pain in the a*.

I've been really enjoying Intel One Mono which seems to solve this by adding more space around most characters (two extra pixels per side at the size I like, about 17px capital letter top to bottom if I counted right) except the m and w (I think, I didn't check everything; they still get one pixel on each side). It also has a low x-height and tall line height and doesn't even try to work at small font sizes but it looks really nice if you make it big enough. Comparing with my previous favorite DejaVu Sans Mono (aka Bitstream Vera Sans Mono) it seems like all the extra space visually evens out the letters and it works well without this kind of adjustment.
Xoogler here. GCP was not an abstraction on Borg when I was there. GKE isn't either.

So up until late 2018 when I left, very little of Cloud ran on "proper" Google3 infra. This may have shifted slightly (cloud has been fishing for good Google infra to externalize a lot), but in general cloud!=google3 infra.
Indeed. Another:

Also:

>Tousignant also explained that Jezebel was told not to put certain words like “fucking” or “suck” in a headline unless it was directly quoting someone, something 404 Media’s founders dealt with at VICE as well.

Gee, could the rule have existed because perhaps the most infamous story Jezebel ever published is titled "'Is the UVA Rape Story a Gigantic Hoax?' Asks Idiot"?!? Nah, it must be because cowardly advertisers didn't want to run ads next to brave and powerful stories about

>war in Gaza, coverage of “Free Palestine” protests, coverage of terrorism, extremism, and white nationalism, articles about sex and porn, and so on

"and so on", indeed.
Hrm. I could probably say "The women of Metafilter" but that's kicking the can down the road a bit.
Ouch! My thought was that the app based model with some sort of vetting of drivers was better than a jobs board with people's names on it. Perhaps not a lot better but possibly better.
Oops, you are right, which makes this even more impressive!
El Buli had some of this figured out decades ago. They set reservations aside for locals from their little town and another portion for people from Spain. However, you had to write an application(!) instead of using an auction for the remainder.

At least for ultra-fine dining like El Buli, Noma or Central 1) should be irrelevant. I've had this argument with restaurateurs before and it seems that they are a lot more concerned about some magical "fair" prices than much of the customer base. I've looked several times into traveling to Copenhagen to eat at Noma. At that point, who gives a shit if the meal is $300 or $1,000?! It all pales compared to the travel cost. If people aren't willing to pay it, the auction won't go that high. Easy peasy!

And then I keep hearing that fine dining isn't sustainable. Just charge more!
All those jobs demanding that we "return to office" certainly don't want people to be able to do that.
I mean that’s kinda working with regulators sometimes… you just get lists of random questions every once in a while for several months. It’s fun when the employee turns over and you get to go through the same thing again with random questions that go off a slightly different tangent.

What else could they possibly do? Some dude at the Fish & Wildlife Service isn’t gonna bust out COMSOL. I don’t really know what people expect.
And the popular ones still sell out immediately because the prepayment doesn't change that they are charging below the equilibrium price.
