Oh, so this is also a programmable feeder where you are now using the startup movement to dispense food? Did you try the programming and it did not work for you?

But thanks! Always good to have more options.
Kissinger's death was where I really started detaching myself from news media entirely. It was extremely hard to find an article or video that didn't say the exact same thing in almost identical wording: "was kissinger a war criminal? well he was certainly controversial but his influence stood large". No, objectively, he was a war criminal. Bombing Cambodia and several other actions were, factually, legally, war crimes. There's no way to two sides it.

Even though I'd firmly disagree with it, I'd much rather read an article that says "yeah, he was a war criminal, but war crimes are okay when America does them because America good." Instead you get this washed out nothingness where we as a society can't reflect on anything.

It Reminds me of the scene in the Big Short where they're trying to convince the reporter to run the story on the obvious pump And dump, and the guys like "hey I've got a family to feed."
> most of the posted job openings are fake

These are hiring numbers, not openings.

I’m in the Bay Area right now, and it’s wild to hear the bubble it’s created for itself. In New York and Austin and West Wyoming, finding people is hard. It’s patently obvious the economy is hot because nobody can hire the people they need. Tech, on the other hand, is facing a combination of headwinds. Yet instead of recognising those we have conspiracy theories about election-year propaganda.

> you could interpret the article title as "true" in that most companies in the US do little hiring in late December and a lot in early January

December numbers are up, too. You’re citing the prevailing wisdom from just before these numbers.
Winning seats proportional to a party's vote share grants them legitimacy and support exactly in proportion to the support they already have and that got them elected.

For actual decision-making power, they need a parliamentary majority, which by design requires the support of a majority of voters.

I hope the UK system isn't quite so rigged as to deny any seats even to a party that gets >50% of votes.
please don’t take this with offense, answering this question inherently involves assuming things about you. But as far as the literature i have read goes, at least 70% of OSA cases stem from obesity. [1]

As you probably know, the severity of OSA is quantified in something called the apnea-hypopnea index. For every SINGLE point of BMI reduction (5-8lbs depending on height), you achieve an AHI reduction of 6.7%. That’s absolutely massive. [2]

It’s still multifactorial, one’s anatomy can be varyingly predisposed for OSA, sometimes to the point of causing problems without obesity. But in general, that’s one hell of a bet.

Just because people break copyright law all the time and it's not enforced doesn't mean it's legal to do so. Same principle here

I know I broke the law on the way back from the station earlier as I did 61mph in a 60 zone. Just because I didn't get caught doesn't make it legal.
You obviously want to soapbox an entirely different topic - nobody said "no income" so your answer just makes you look slightly off-kilter.
It's not just Ubuntu. Anyone using Centos 7 or RHEL 7 which are not EOL yet has run into this issue, too.

Sounds like a lot, almost two million miles, we can breath easy.

But that's what? seven times the distance of the earth to the moon. Scary close.

If you knew where to look, maybe even see it. Like hearing the bullet whiz past your head on the battlefield.
to clarify, in the US, "I will kill you" may or may not be considered a threat. It depends on whether or not it's actionable. If it's a tweet, it's probably not going to be considered actionable.

People talk shit all the time, a lot of people in this post need to calm down and stop being so quick to be offended.

Should have said it? Probably not. Does that make him a danger to anyone? Not by itself it doesn't.
Sadly true, and it is influencing the tech scene as we know it a lot.

While before, you would be a generalist first, specialist second - now it is demanded you are specialist first, generalist second, especially since programming is perceived as this "super hard thing" to learn that most people figure it impossible to know more than a few things at once. While developers understand it isn't, people recruiting them believe such stuff and are thus propagating the myths when hiring (outside a fistful of quality companies).

And this kind of thinking has influenced the dev scene a lot - I've met hundreds of developers that have no idea what goes on on backend, yet are deep in their frontend career and vice versa. And no, I'm not talking about somebody not knowing the latest framework, but about people declining to learn even some basic stuff like SQL, shell scripting or deployment due to "its not my area" thing.

As someone who spent a good part of their career in mobile, but also wrote a lot of frontends and backends, CMS's, dozens of tools, parsers, languages et al., it is hard to find a role that fits - either they want only the specialisation and then give me a silo of "you only work in this role and that's it" or even if they want a "fullstack developer" which means they are looking for years of experience in specific frontend and backend tooling (TS/Node mostly).

It's becoming quite absurd - on one side, we are paying high salaries to adults that we task with breaking down highly complex processes and building the solutions to problems, but on the other side, we do not believe these people can understand a bit different syntax or tooling.

Absurd.
I’m asking because I visit Japan on a tourist visa and I have never encountered this rule. I’d like to learn more about it from official sources.

I totally agree that there are great solutions out there to use Postgres for specific analytics tasks, especially realtime ones, but if you want something that can handle arbitrary aggregations and do ad hoc analytics, nothing comes close to a standard data warehouse. Lots of exciting things happening in the space so that might change!
When MfA was released, a few airports tried that, and got an extremely negative response from passengers.

I wonder if, decades later, not to mention a generation or two with exposure to "chillout", "ambient" and maybe just a dab of psychedelics, the response would be any different today.
Can you make me an app that removes distraction from Reddit, YouTube and TikTok?
I would pay for a tool that lets me see the question title in reddit subs, let me answer it and that's it. I don't want to see anything else, I don't want to see replies, I don't want to see karma or not karma. I don't want notifications. I don't want to see usernames of other people. Just the question and I answer it, in a completely zen state with zero distractions around.

Same for tiktok and youtube. I would like an app that removes everything except for the upload video button.

Can someone make me this? :)

The purpose of this is to streamline my content creation and posting without falling for distractions.
I wish someone had told the person that did nearly this very thing to the low voltage control cable to my external AC compressor. At least in the attic it would not be exposed to weather and UV. <facepalmEmoji>
> When does an SPA make sense?

I didn't quite get the answer — if it is that an SPA makes sense when you have front-end and back-end specialists on your team, then it is surely the wrong answer. Perhaps I misunderstood.

I like Alex Russell's answer: an SPA makes sense when data about users' session depth demonstrates deep sessions. Or Jason Miller's answer: an SPA makes sense when the thing that's being built fits certain known app holotypes.
No, this one doesn’t come with a residency card. Therefore, you won’t get an Individual Number, and you won’t get My Number Card or the ability to open a bank account. Japan is very strict on bank account opening and has made it illegal to keep them beyond your residency or to sell them for this reason.

That's complete overkill. Single BLDC driver can drive 3 DC motors each, even in both directions independently if combined with a dual power supply. I think positional readouts from BLDC is still incremental, so either an origin sensor or a separate absolute encoder is going to be necessary on top of current monitor for sanity check. Whereas, that sanity check current sensing channel could detect jams somewhere in the machine which in itself should suffice for detecting lids pressed against stops.

If there were even a <350EUR cat feeder with that kind of controls and features - it'll be flying off the shelf into university labs and hobbyists sheds. There will be drones and 3D printers built on that. Perhaps even some guided missiles.
How do you think Australia has a thriving drug scene without organized crime when almost every neighboring country has the death penalty for drug smuggling?
Hasn't really been two years. Beginning of 2022, lots of places were still hiring like crazy.

Last quarter of 2022 is when the layoff stuff started.

AI is a toddler that tells the truth
Ai is simply reflecting who we are a a society. It's been trained on data that also reflects our dark side. The madness, the bias, the porn, etc. That is the dark side of who we are, but it is not false. Ai is like a toddler that always tells the truth, while his parents tell him "don't say that" or "he didn't mean that".
The so called "black box" must be confused, as the data clearly leads to one prediction while the trainers are saying ignore it and say this instead. It is being thought to lie and to justify lying and then again, told "why did you lie?"
Nice line in unveiled insults you've got there.

EDIT - you changed "poser" to "pretender" which was a small improvement. It's polite to make it clear that you've edited a comment if someone has replied.
Uh huh, and where are these places? I've worked remotely from literally a hundred countries over the past twenty years and can count on one hand the number of such cases I've even heard of.

Nobody gives a shit, as long as you're not staying long enough to be a tax resident and you're not making trouble.

The one famous incident, the 2014 Chiang Mai raid, came about because the authorities didn't know what a co-working space is, and thought that the foreigners were hired by the property owner to work there. None of them were deported for that.
Nice point! I agree that it's a bloated method, however, this was the best solution I could come up with at that point of time. I am certain that there are better solutions, it's just me who could not find it. I went with this solution anyways since it was still an improvement compared to my previous method in vim which involved setting the text width to a large number like 9999, highlighting the text I wanted to unwrap and then typing 'gqq' for formatting, and then yanking it. And of course, I had to re-wrap the text if I wanted to maintain the original format of the text file.

You are absolutely right and I understand what you mean though. I am open to trying other alternatives and I should try to come up with a better method to workaround this problem.

Never tried Emacs, just went with Vim so far. Did not know that Emacs had already an elegant solution for this problem. Nice! :)
No, but, say, areas in general have different concerns. E.g. setting a national minimum wage based on what people in cities want is a big problem for employers who are in lower-cost areas.
Thank you so much for this overview - I had no idea I was featured on awesome-linguistics!

I actually had a bit of a following on some language-themed meme pages and used that to launch this project on Kickstarter. The Kickstarter was partially to gain some funds (although after rewards, shipping, and taxes it really wasn't a great amount) and partially to see if people were interested in the idea at all, and it turns out they were.
In theory it's possible to change the election system. In practice, effecting such a change requires the cooperation of at least the party in power and probably both parties, so...
If they are popular and sell well, it‘s only natural they‘re still being made. I wouldn‘t consider that to be insane.

>> a seemingly B-grade budget 1999 show.

Then don't watch the original Trek, or B5, for Stargate. Farscape was far from b-grade budget. That was as good budgets ever got for TV in the 90s. Definitely in the A-grade budget of the time. For b-grade, look to Space:AboveAndBeyond or even SeaQuest:DSV.
Or people decide that core coastal metros aren't all they're cracked up to be or that they're willing to compromise on climate/other factors for much cheaper housing prices. There's no real shortage of housing--just housing that is in areas a fair number of people prefer given the choice.
Agree, but disagree on the popularity argument, Ark was very famous and there was a crazy amount of grinding.

That being said, I'm not into pokemon-like games anymore, I suspect the automated battles are not my thing anymore, the fights are too dull and don't endanger you
I think for many the idea of spending a few months in Dubai is close to spending a few months in hell...
You can still have those at state level, or even lower, by grouping counties.

The hill people from Appalachia deserve to be represented by someone local. The low lying coastal communities in the outer banks also deserve to have someone that understands them, rather than someone from NYC. The border towns in Texas are better represented by someone from there, rather than someone from Ohio. There is some value to local representation, it doesn't need to be all in.

Romania for example has a hybrid system: it's "first past the post" first and foremost, so people get local representatives, but all the unused votes that would otherwise get wasted (both winning and losing ones) are then put together in a big national pool and then you have the second round of MPs appointed because of that pool. That way popular vote matches the percentages in the parliament, but you also have local representation.
These people took glee in demonizing and dehumanizing half of the country under the guise they're on the wrong side of history. Except what actually happened is the pendulum has swung in the other direction completely repudiating credibility of these organizations, and the people that were dehumanized are understandably very mad.

These alleged journalists are supposed to report on the the world and events around them, except they refuse to see what's in front of them because it's inconvenient to their failed idealogical positions.
Tech is crumbling. Education, health, retail, manufacturing, construction are all booming.

Signs that the US is returning to sanity!
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday […] it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.“
Literally never. This topic is one of those things that draws resentful ruleboys out of the woodwork to preach about something they have no firsthand knowledge of because none exists.
others have commented, but it's really pretty varied.

- literally yesterday used it for building a payload for a vuln that used a java deserialization vulnerability against a known private key for AES encryption. I built the serialized payload using ysoserial as per normal, but then b64 encoded that, then encrypted with the known key and urlencoded the final output.. then I can simply hand that off to curl or burp or whatever.

- sometimes it's as simple as other said, encode/decode chains of various formats -- it's just faster especially if I'm not sure how it was encoded, but I recognize particular patterns (e.g.: url encode, b64 super easy to recognize visually, so plug and play of recipes makes it fast to try stuff out and tune).
Client-side rendering has a lot of benefits not mentioned in the article.

1. Adaptive design: it’s easier to adjust user experience to the client device capabilities. SPA frameworks take the job of ensuring browser compatibility, but it’s not just it.

2. Less traffic in data-rich apps (even taking into account compression, HTML is heavier than JSON and not just due to syntax overhead - consider all those page headers, footers and other common parts).

3. Better UX for slow networks: even in countries with 5G coverage there are still a lot of corners where your device will struggle to connect. SPA can auto-retry, just showing the spinning wheel longer. Browser will show the timeout page, and who knows if the backend can correctly recover on refresh.
> The resulting fragmentation has to be later recomposed with alliances to form a government, which will go on bickering constantly;

I mean what are political parties under FPTP other than alliances to form a government? Bickering is rather common within them.

Democratic politics always requires a broad coalition of different interests and groups to assemble a majority. I'm not convinced voting system changes that much, but tensions may erupt in different ways under different systems.

----------

I am looking for Senior Engineer and Engineering Manager opportunities.

Currently operating as a Senior Software Engineering Manager, one-third of my time is devoted to managing development teams in building, testing, and deploying custom web and mobile applications. I work with stakeholders to turn ideas into reality through project planning, resource management, cross-functional collaboration, and execution.

My remaining time is dedicated to operating as a Senior Engineer where I lead development, provide mentorship, review code, and architect solutions. I am comfortable working across the stack whether I am building robust integrations and APIs in C# and .NET Core, writing queries and optimizing stored procedures in SQL Server, or crafting user-friendly experiences and components in React. My primary expertise includes but is not limited to React.js/React Native, TypeScript/JavaScript, HTML, CSS/SCSS/Tailwind, C#/.NET Core, SQL Server, and Azure.

As a former Big-Ten athlete, my strong work ethic, desire to get better every day, and positive attitude drive my detail-oriented and process-driven leadership style. Over the past eight years at MorelandConnect and General Motors, I have successfully managed, developed, and delivered over 35 successful projects for more than 20 satisfied clients.
We focus more on the installer experience, in the back we still use manifests and helm charts that will get deployed in the cluster, but the package operator will constantly sync them with central repository to make sure that the packages will stay up to date.

We didn't wanted to introduce a new standard in deployment method for our first preview to support as many packages as possible.
> how desktop Firefox dropped PWA support a while ago

I keep seeing people make this claim. But what does that even mean? PWAs absolutely work on Firefox. What specific API was dropped?
What a callous article. It seems the author is angry that a bunch of people came together to fund a company that failed in the end...well, most startups fail anyway.

> Such journalism is a direct reflection of millionaire or billionaire media owners who don’t want to offend sources, advertisers, or event sponsors with bold, truth-telling journalism that has actual teeth. So what you get instead is a sort of journalism simulacrum that fails to critique wealth, corruption, or power with any real consistency, since the wealthy and powerful owners very obviously don’t want that.

If you want to start an activist site, go start one and solicit donations from your rage-baited audience (that's what Techdirt is afterall). The Messenger didn't claim and never wanted to be an investigative news outlet. It was a simple news outlet that churned out everyday news without giving opinions..I actually loved it!

The sheer arrogance of some journalists...and they wonder why their industry is on a massive decline.
Yes, I think I was unclear: depending on local governmental watchdogs/agencies goodwill isn't a good solution. It's the one EU choose however.

It's weird for Anglo countries, or countries with the Anglo law system, where the legislation might have holes and weak points, but decree and case law fill those holes (the French system work like that too). EU can't do that because it's a federation of countries with different culture and interest.

Again, not saying it's good, I'm saying that's how it works.
And yet I'm better at the job than those who call themselves that. They give each other titles. I create value.

I'm 39 years old. Perfect shape, no health issues, don't smoke, don't drink, regular exercise.

About a year ago, Out of NOWHERE I began snoring at night, and only when laying on my back. Never snored my entire life. No other position. But it drives my wife crazy. The problem is we cosleep with our baby, and laying on my back is the safest position.

I don't have apnea so I don't qualify for insurance for any kind of mouthpiece. The ENT just laughs me off like it's no big deal. My nose is fine and he's zero help.

I know it's something to do with my tongue but I have no idea what to do about it.

I've tried thin pillows, thick ones, no pillows. Doesn't help.
