This seems a little hysterical. Cities functioned extremely well, perhaps even better, before the advent of lengthy car commutes, office work, and mass commercial real estate. The businesses you mention - grocery stores - aren't even usually patronized by commuters, and their recent appearance in city centers has been precipitated by downtowns shifting from commercial-only blight to round-the-clock mixed use, something that will only accelerate as downtowns are liberated from massive buildings that sit empty 2/3 of the day, small businesses that have to shut down at 6pm and all weekend, and peaky congestion that requires all facilities to overinvest in capacity to handle a couple of hours on weekdays with much lower usage otherwise. Anyone who has walked around the ghost town of SF's financial district on a Sunday should know CRE is not conducive to vibrant city life.

I recently found out that WPA3 and especially WPA2/WPA3 mixed were having issues with WiFi roaming - as in, with 2 access points, devices were not switching from one to another unless one of them just drops the client to force a reassociation.

I ended up just using WPA2, as I don't have any 6GHz or WiFi 7 APs.
I once worked for a company that stored all of its passwords for production servers and databases in a text file in the code repository, all because the chief architect didn't want to have to remember any passwords. Pointing out how stupid that was to the CTO, got me a statement "we trust our employees" and "we passed our security audit". My face is still hurting from the facepalm.

Thank you for the answer! What is the knowledge that your book requires? If I have a lot of software dev experience and sorta kinda remember algebra from uni, would it be a good fit?
Unless they’re spewing out random garbage (which I doubt they are) they’re good for tracking trends. My overnight RHR is about 55. If I’m starting to get sick, even before symptoms set in, it raises to about 60. By looking at trends I can tell when I’m about to start feeling bad.
Cool, but poorly written. Why on page 4 spend half of it on standard attention (which should be assumed knowledge to a reader at this point) but then not explain equation 10? what is L? Why is there an identity matrix? I don't need equations 6-9 but I sure do need more information on 10-14. I hope there's code

What a weird line in Figure 2

> Note: L_LM represents L_LM, and L_Repeat represents L_Repeat, and Loss represents L.

I would probably use a systemd timer instead because it has a feature that most crons don't. You can tell it to start the reboot 10 hours and 55 minutes after the timer was started, regardless of time of day or other clock concerns. that means you don't need valid global time or anything to schedule it properly and it'll be built in to the already there raspberry pi os (and most other distros for the pi) so there's no new software to install or setup.

You’re missing a clause in what constitutes illegal insider trading. From an SEC site: https://www.investor.gov/introduction-investing/investing-ba... (italics added by me)

> Illegal insider trading refers generally to buying or selling a security, in breach of a fiduciary duty or other relationship of trust and confidence, on the basis of material, nonpublic information about the security.
> There’s a bias for visibility and not actual work

that's not bias, someone that behaves like OP without proven record is just eccentric.
But what about inertia? Is there a way to eliminate that?

This is fine for an artistic competition, like classical music as you mention. But figure skating is a sport, it's in the Olympics, not having stated goals seems unfair to the competitors (athletes), and I can't think of any other sport which doesn't have very specific rules describing the criteria for winning.
Theres different classes of servers, the 4U ones are pretty much as powerful as it gets, many sockets (usually 4) and a huge fabric.

1Us are extremely commodity, basically as “low end” as it gets, so I like to use them as if they are a baseline.

A 1U that can take 1.5TiB of ram might be part of the same series of machines that might have a 4U machine that could do 10TiB. But those are hugely expensive. Both to buy and to run
A friend of mine was trying to tell me how much different Ruby 3 was from Ruby 2, he's never even worked with Ruby, and I said that it's not nearly as big as the difference between Python 2 and 3. He sent me this hilariously wrong transcript where the bot tried to claim that Ruby 3 changed the class keyword to something else. Not a single one of the bullet points was anywhere even close to being true.

Because the US doesn't have a federal privacy statute which requires companies to obey privacy choices, is my guess. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the FTC's authority, which includes competition and fraud, doesn't extend to privacy. Privacy violations (such as non-consensual data collection) by non-government businesses are not per se illegal in the US as a whole, but the FTC could argue that specific privacy violations were unfair trade practices. Not only is the understaffed, overburdened FTC practically unable to enforce a hypothetical future privacy law (which is one reason privacy laws need to have private rights of action), the FTC's legal authority to fit privacy violations into the unfair trade mold is dubious. It's not sustainable to rely on the FTC to handle the majority of privacy violations.

In short, the US doesn't have a federal privacy that would make privacy violations illegal.

> leaders at big tech companies are not so worried about "number of tickets closed ... or some such related easily quantifiable metric ... Corporate leaders, especially in tech, are largely worried about a slow deterioration/decline in innovation, general employee dedication

So, why is there so much (corporate anti-)Scrum everywhere?

I mean, most employees hate it with a passion, and the typical excuse is that it makes velocity more predictable, even if slower. Now you are telling me that the corporate leaders in tech do not care about quantifiable things, and are worried about innovation and employees. How can both of this be true at the same time?

I guess I will stay with my null hypothesis that most corporate leaders have no idea what they are doing, and just randomly do whatever feels right at the moment.

> At the end of the day this is just another political battle tool.

Show me a democracy where elections aren’t just another political battle tool. In anarchist circles there is even a saying: “If elections changed anything, they would abolish it.”

Of course the Palestinian governments are no different. Hamas wanted general elections because they thought they could gain more power. Fatah didn’t because they thought they would loose power. The game of politics happened and they had elections which were boycotted by Hamas and everybody (already in power) wins.

The onset of the Palestinian civil war is a whole lot more complected than to blame it on Hamas. Remember that the Irish also had a civil war after the 1921 treaty, and today both the North and the Republic are thriving democracies. The reality is that it is a whole lot easier to hold power in the modern world via elections (unless you are occupied, or otherwise exploited by a colonial power), and you have no reasons to believe that Hamas or Fatah or any governing body in a future free Palestine wouldn’t see that.
The Roman-Gallo dodecahedron was created for the Roman troop arms merchants (Negotiatores) & Auxiliary troop arms officers.

On top of that, when one (person/company) sets up a test account they should (at the creation/activation) set the deletion/deactivation date. So even if the admin is hit by a bus, that damn account will go off on DDMMYYYY and not "live long enough to become the villain".

Also, TERRIBLE/HORRIBLE user access management and review. How do they let a test account be live for "months"? Don't they have some alerts for all test accounts in PROD environment to pester them daily??

In my company we solved this problems many years ago before the pandemic.

* As the project is quite large, every time a new person appears (no matter if junior or senior), for each sprint they get someone to show them around, answer their questions etc. That guardian angel changes each sprint - and it lasts several months.

* We have open channels for ad-hoc meetings and the culture encouraging joining them even if the topic discussed is not directly related to your current task. In other words, you can just listen to what other people are trying to solve when doing your task and are free to interrupt them if you feel interested in so on.

* Every 3 months we try to get together as much as possible for 2-3 days (it never happened 100% as we live on different continents, the rest joins from their local offices or homes) - and it feels great!

* My teammates are really cool and our bosses too, so we have the necessary space to communicate without worrying it will impact our performance.

And if someone really wants, they can always come to a local office - but most of the time they are empty as everybody loves WFH and NO WE ARE NEVER COMING BACK.
Ah, software is a big one but I was thinking of a few products that involved no software at all. Stuff like mechanical keyboards, that one PC case that looked like the current Mac Pro, there was some other hardware widget or two that I can't quite remember right now. They all had these neat ideas, spent a lot of money getting it engineered & produced, and oops... the end result wasn't what we hoped it would be......

In some cases they actually shipped the defective product out, because hey, getting something is better than nothing. But it fell pretty far short of what people were hoping they'd get lol.

Edit: But I do commend your efforts! Great job!
I don't put much stock in this "9.6" stuff; CVSS is a ouija board that will say whatever people want it to say. But regardless: the best security teams in the world still see critical vulnerabilities in their software, because software is all garbage.
*It appears that it could be used to measure coins, but old Roman coins in that time period were not very round. They were hammered on a die, not cast, so they weren’t a perfect circle. Weight and material constitution was more important to the value of an ancient coin, not a perfectly round shape (especially since the coins were debased of their silver so much during the 3rd century). In addition, some dods had triangular and oval holes.

> you don't have acceleration

If you actually use a treadmill, or watch motion capture, you’ll see that this isn’t the case. It’s a lot of slight accelerations and decelerations. The variation change from person to person, and more experienced runners are able to minimize them, but they’re still present.

> I wouldn't call people stupid

I don't think I did such a thing.

> Do you have any concrete [proof] that the Forth implementation with compile-only words is better? What are its benefits?

Yes I do : a Smalltalk-style forces to have the code (to be executed if the condition is true) to be on the left side of the if. Additionally, if you don't want the address of the quotation to be in your way, you are also forced to adopt an argument order like condition-quotation-if, which is even less convenient than Forth's syntax. Oh, and the else part could be a lot of fun too. Most likely, you'll add some sort of exception to avoid all that, but exceptions are the archetype of unwanted complexity.
You seem to think that Smalltalk-style is simpler, but Smalltalk is an infix language with, granted, rules that are simpler than most other languages - but still more complex than those of Forth. So it is not, actually, simpler when you consider the system as a whole.

Also, it makes it more difficult to build loops from that if and recursion like Scheme does (TCO). Chuck Moore's Colorforth does exactly that.

Moreover, and perhaps more anecdotally because few people care about this these days, it is more space and CPU efficient - basically the traditional Forth if is one instruction (bytecode or whatever) followed by one parameter (the jump target) that takes one argument on the stack. A Smalltalk-style if is also one instruction, but it has to call the "if-true" code, and this code has to have a return instruction as well.
I can understand that people don't care about a few more bytes and cycles here and there - what's the point for a interpreter to be able to run on a bunch of kilobytes today? - but I wonder why those same people would care about a weird RPN thing that seems to be designed to make their head hurt, with or without quotations. It's only slightly less hostile for them than BrainFuck.

Computer games and computer languages have something in common: when you design and redesign them, you realize that they are a subtle network of interactions between different parts of the system - even if, in the case of programming languages you look for "orthogonality", which is the opposite; but this concept applies more to features/semantics than to syntax/ergonomics.

> The problem is already solved. You just spit out a warning message when something is redefined instead of an error.

You didn't get what I wrote. You want the system to keep quiet when you give an hint that you do something on purpose, like casting explicitly an integer into a pointer in C. You also miss the point: of course this problem is easily solved. But I argue like Chuck Moore that you'd rather solve the specific problem you stumble upon in practice, rather than trying to solve the more general problem that you imagine you will have. Sometimes when you try to kill two birds with one stone, you end up with one bird wounded and a broken window.
My explanation did not implicate the cases you described above, because it explicitly said "only available to those with a fiduciary responsibility or confidentiality obligation to the company"

Regardless of the level of fidelity, if you got that information from an unaffiliated third party entity who captured it in the delivery of their own services, it is not "only available to those with a fiduciary responsibility or confidentiality obligation to the company"

It sounds like we are saying the same thing and you don't feel my original comment was clear enough. That's fine feedback. But there's no substantive disagreement. The points you listed above are all fine to trade on.

If I see a maniac looming in my rearview mirror, where do I want that driver to be? Surely not bottled up behind me, where they can cause all kinds of trouble. I want them out in front of me, where I can keep an eye on them and where I control the distance between us. Furthermore, I would like to put this nutjob in front of me as quickly and as cleanly as possible. Fortunately they are often happy to zip by on my left if I give them the slightest encouragement: Room to do so.

She was also crossing at a weird point: just beyond where Mill Ave crosses under the 202, and then starts and uphill climb on its way to the Washington intersection. Despite all this, the safety driver almost certainly would have noticed her if they cared to be doing their job instead of watching TV on their phone, as you say, because at least the area is well-lit.

The reason we average nearly 1 pedestrian death a day here is because of what you cite: unwillingness to walk further to cross at a crosswalk, people weirdly wearing all black, at night, and specifically on the arterial roads, the suicide lane meaning that you're being blinded by oncoming traffic with a person as far away from the streetlights as possible. It's crazy. (The spot where she was hit on Mill Ave, ironically, isn't any of those things; it's the end of the bridge connectors, so it's one-way there, but still.)
