I live in Texas. While my house was being built, I spent 8 months in an apartment complex to save money (it was just before housing prices and rent skyrocketed across the nation) and I gained a whole new appreciation and perspective over what "paycheck to paycheck" meant for people. I always assumed it meant they got what I thought were necessities but had no spare money. It was eye opening making friends in that apartment complex because month to month for them meant they often went a paycheck with something otherwise critical deferred to another paycheck. They were mastercraftsmen in robbing peter to pay paul, so to speak.

I understand your sentiment of investing in some life saving gear that is cheap for its great value. But I would encourage you to widen your perspective and understand that when faced with the decision to pay for groceries and car insurance to ensure one can keep working, or put back money for a gas generator for something used every 4 years, they're going to pick no interruption to groceries and car insurance. And rightly so.

If you're of the type that promotes larger government, you need to write to your government to encourage them to provide this equipment out of their taxes.

That happened during the original design of the game. M:tG was one of the first products to sell you a pig in a poke. That was the concept!

I've seen people say that it would be nice to regulate loot boxes in video games, but they can't figure out how to do it without banning Magic's business model. I never understood why that would be a problem.

Is Trello still better than Github Issues?
Our team started out with Bitbucket+Trello 5 years ago (I guess because Estonia has a long history with Atlassian products). Since then we have moved our codebase to Github but have kept Trello. We are quite happy with it but I was wondering if we are missing out some nice developers experience because of this setup...

For some context: we develop multiple products, each product usually has multiple code repositories and even more Trello boards. Trello is being used by developers and customer support. We have also built a Github action https://github.com/rematocorp/trello-integration-action that integrates these two worlds as much as possible.

Do you think we should consider moving our setup to Github Issues?
They probably half assed the android one, but would have allocated more resources to it if it had a future.

I had flash 5 running just fine on my 2004 palm with 32MB of RAM and a 312 MHz CPU.

This also would have been Macromedia though and not Adobe, not sure how many of the original developers they kept.
I don’t. Further it’s common for all stockholders to be asked to vote on decisions with 1 vote per share. While it’s true most people have only a trivial number of shares and are therefore largely irrelevant they also don’t have access to non public information.
None of that is relevant in the article. Engineer isn't protected, and the article even said it isn't protected.
So instead of running some script

checkbox = getPos(checkbox='notRobot')

button = getPos(button='submit')

cursor()

.transition(pos=checkbox)

.click()

.transition(pos=button)

.click()

They now

checkbox = getPos(checkbox='notRobot')

button = getPos(button='submit')

cursor()

.sleep(time=random(distribution='human_captcha'))

.transition(pos=checkbox , method='human_captcha')

.sleep(time=random(distribution='human_captcha'))

.click()

.sleep(time=random(distribution='human_captcha'))

.transition(pos=button, method='human_captcha')

.sleep(time=random(distribution='human_captcha'))

.click()

Where sleep and transitioning are sampled from some random distribution that is close to actual human behavior, which should be pretty trivial to model.
I’ve always known fsck to mean “file system check” (I guess there’s officially a “consistency” in there), and while I can believe it was retconnned, what I still don’t understand from the post is what the original, cheekier version actually abbreviated or where the “u” came from.

The problem isn't a technical one.
He has an iron ring and works in the field and graduated from an engineering program. What should he call himself? He should only be barred from calling himself a "Professional Engineer".

Does the general public have this value connection to the term "engineer"? Because I don't think that's the case - I hear everyone use the term to describe those working in the field.
In the US you have Professional Engineers (PE). Though there's no longer an exam for software because so few people got it. It's mostly for people who have to sign off on things for regulators. I took the engineer-in-training exam early on (I'd have eventually wanted a PE in my first job) but I had career shifts and there was never a reason for me to pursue it further and I'd probably have had to retake my E-i-T in a different state anyway.

However, in general, there aren't restrictions on calling yourself an engineer and all sorts of basically technician roles use the term liberally.
It's interesting to me to compare this with the curse of Tutankhamen's tomb -- it didn't stop us. I doubt these warnings alone will stop future us from opening anything. People will probably say the radiation is there to stop people from stealing the treasure and send something 'disposable' in to open the containers.
I used it in conjunction with OpenFL a few months ago to port a Flash project. My impression is Haxe itself is pretty solid as a language but I could only get the web-based target to work consistently. The C++ backend seems dead based on the repo activity[1] and I got GC-related crashes with no workaround. I could never get the native Android support working either since it crashed on startup.

Also OpenFL was missing some Flash features the project relied on and I had to spend a lot of time on a fork of their repos patching them in.

Pronunciation of "computer words" is always a fun read to hear how people say things. (Weirdly, MMORPG's have this for me, too; different place names, mostly.)

My secondhand contribution is a friend told me HIS colleague used to pronounce the `vi` editor as "six", because of course. Took him awhile to figure out what the guy meant when he said, "six the <whatever> file"...
If the reasoning is "gitlab is bloated" then it's more reasonable to me.

> On its own, the word "engineer" isn't an expressly reserved title under B.C. law. But according to the professional association, it can be misused if the context suggests that someone is a registered professional engineer.

He didn't call himself "Professional Engineer" which may be more analogous to the term "Registered Nurse"

This is a complete non-answer. I'd assume that they know that Haxe isn't as popular as other languages, but they're asking about people's experience with Haxe, not looking for recommendations on which language to learn.

I used it a few years later for some work with Nickelodeon. Somewhere in a backup I have some Spongebob games and a version of Pai Sho.

Haxe was never great, but it was a bit more efficient and productive than using the GWT-based PlayN (formerly Fourplay). The language itself was just not quite right and felt like a harder version of Java or JavaScript.

It's not really a problem anymore, but compiling to ActuonScript used to be pretty buggy. Now that Flash is long dead, it's possible that the cross-compilation problems might be lessened.

They also may have added some additional features making it less painful, but I'm not convinced.
auto corrupt: “suffer issues” > sulfur issues
The best product manager I worked with was just an exceptionally bright person, they were able to understand complexity of implementation (and even have a reasonable chance of doing it themselves) vs understanding the business need. Just basically a value add to the company without being an engineering manager.

Unfortunately most product managers are just people who sit in the role. They are just gatekeepers who take either credit or blame. They often have little skin in the game.

Overall, if you have a product management organisation, you're doing it wrong.
I think that’s true! We need more digital librarians to help sort the wheat from the chaff.
The "48 laws of power" gets a lot of (perhaps well deserved) shade, but there are some insights there, if your post is any indication.
It's actually not a negative because any potential employee falls under the same laws and companies have to get things done. Your argument could equally be applied to a university degree, or to prior experience - both mean you expect higher pay and so by your logic companies are less likely to even interview you.

I'm not familiar with the situation in France but if it's as you say, you're just using the fallacy of the excluded middle to reject out of hand the possibility of a fair compromise.

>The developers MUST care for the quality, not outsource it to some external team. The desire of large corps to spend huge amount of $$$ to create artificial roles to water down ownership can never cease to astonish me.

As a former quality-focused dev, I can tell you that the industry beats it out of you with a club. There is always somebody above you who cares only about their own career ambitions and has more leverage than you do. This leads to a horde of devs who just do what they're told and not much else.

Businesses are all about risk management. The safest way to de-risk a business is to water down ownership, at the cost of injuring quality-focused devs. You're only a cog. You need to only be a cog to them. They must to be able to replace you with another cog when you leave for greener pastures.

It's the reality of this world.

Everybody is privately dealing with Russia, whether they are publicly hostile or not.

This is an un-winnable war for Ukraine, and they got nudged into the conflict by the West — the very same West is now complaining about the cost of this war and is delaying or even refusing capable offensive weapons to Ukraine.

Meanwhile the U.S. got one of its major objectives — stronger NATO — with the Nordics part of this alliance — very relevant as the Arctic sea routes open up.

On the other side, Russia is gladly lengthening this war, depleting Ukraine and Europe of their weapon reserves, while the old Soviet weapon factories get reactivated — Russia is self-sustained in this conflict, thus the failure of Western sanctions. Russia is a commodities super power.

Russia also probably nudged and winked at Iran/Hamas/China to open up the Middle East theatre of war, sucking U.S. attention and war resources there.

China is busy dealing with their fragile economy and real-estate bust, while threatening Taiwan and other neighbors. Once they feel the U.S. is stuck in Ukraine, Middle East and internal issues, and won't come to Taiwan's aid, they'll make their moves.

Middle East is happily selling Oil at higher prices and raking in the profits. India, Central Asia and similar countries are making profits buying from Russia and selling to Europe.

This whole thing is a joke.

Hamas, Israel and Ukraine are pawns, they are getting used by both sides, the real war is West vs. Russia+China.

Meanwhile "the neutrals" Gulf countries, India, Central Asia, Africa etc. are trying to make a quick profit where they see opportunity.
I used Haxe in the past. While it isn't necessarily modern usage I'd agree with the parent comment and suggest either Rust (using the WASM target) or TypeScript.

Using Engineer in a way that suggests you are a Professional Engineer is considered misuse. Not understanding the law does not exempt you from it.

I’ve used it for game dev stuff with HaxeFlixel, but trying to do anything more than that ended up being a pain. The community around it seems to have mostly moved on: a lot of libraries are unsupported or haven’t been updated in years and there’s not a lot of places to find help when you run into problems. I really like Haxe as a language, but I really don’t see a bright future for it personally, especially with how popular TypeScript has become.
What I understood is that the author is not happy about the “Open Core” model and would prefer truly OSS, but the real deal breaker is maintaining Gitlab.

My experience self hosting Gitlab was pretty terrible, it requires a lot of attention on your part, and internally the project feels like a bunch of fragile scripts.

There’s also little documentation for when things go wrong, with was almost every single update.

In the end I switched to Gitea as well and I’ve been happy with it for years at this point.

Albatross are really amazing birds. Most people think they’re just some kind of gull and don’t realize how big they are. They aren’t actually closely related to gulls at all. They are like 2x bigger than large gulls and like 4x bigger than smaller ones. In terms of weight, they can weigh over 40 times as much as some smaller gulls. With their wings stretched out they’re like the length of a car.

> you need to have somewhere safe to operate it, store clean fuel safely, test it regularly, have your electrical system modified to allow a switchover, make sure to winterize in most of the country, etc.

It's bad, but not quite that bad. The person who suggested a generator was talking about the case of people who have some life threatening condition that they need electricity to survive.

In most cases that will mean they only have to use the generator to power a small number of things. In that case they don't need to modify their electrical system. They can power their things from the generator's normal household outlets. They just need long enough extension cords to get from wherever they have to put the generator to their life saving devices.

They'd probably only need a small generator, maybe a couple thousand watts. Those are light enough (20ish kg) and small enough (small suitcase sized) that it should be easy to store indoors when not actually in use. That should get rid of most of the hassle of winterizing.

Go for a propane generator instead of a gasoline generator. They produce much less dangerous emissions than gasoline generators so should be easier to find someplace safe to operate. Also stored propane does not go bad over time, like stored gasoline, so you don't need to rotate your fuel. Propane tanks are also safer than gasoline tanks so propane is easier to store safely.

How do I relate this, from your prespective they do nothing to fix an obvious issue. From their prespective it has nothong to do with guns and are so absolved from responsibility, they are only acting in reaction to a threat to their lawful rights.

Its unfortunate that you are left with only reactionaries to offer alternatives, because by nature they are predisposed to telling you to pound sand. We could have a more healthy relationship with guns, I think it starts with acknowledging the role pharmaceutical drugs and investigating their effects more publically. I would also support any kind of community work in teaching responsible firearm operation, and more generally promoting high ethical standards of conduct in everyday life.

That said, the safest place I inhabit is work, with its fences, badge readers, and security guards. The second safest place is at home, with cameras, alarms and locks. Paying administrators over security guards is a gross mismanagement of government money.

Thanks, yeah I know what LoRA is and I didn't think it was so effective on... are we OK with calling it the 'cognitive' side yet? Everything I've read from the LocalLLaMA finetuning community is that you can fine tune presentation but it's not really an effective way to teach models new knowledge.
Looking forward to trying to explain to non-technical security people and managers that although they've fixed CVE-2023-1234 they now need to fix NotCVE-2023-1234 which is a completely different and unrelated thing. And even more so if a vuln later gets accepted as a CVE, so that NotCVE-2023-1234 is the same issue as CVE-2023-2345.

It's a damn sight better than their original plan of having it be !CVE-2023-1234, but still seems like that naming pattern is just going to cause confusion.

The site also seems to be missing an kind of details that would make it more useful. For instance, if you look at NotCVE-2023-0002 (https://notcve.org/view.php?id=NotCVE-2023-0002), it's apparently a buffer overflow in NVD Tools. But there's no real references, no indication about why it's not a CVE, if there was an attempt at disclosure, if the vendor has justified why it's not an issue, etc.
The latter is Web3/crypto la la land, and the former.. dunno, got to read the code, but I would like to know about the project, its goals, and who is behind it.

Haxe is my favorite programming language. I recommend hanging out in the Discord, the community is quite active! We have had new frameworks like Ceramic [0] popping up and one of the (imo) best UI libraries: HaxeUI [0] be continuously developed.
