I was blue and I made self replicating prims that could crash the server (not on purpose). And cool looking swords to wear. I had fun.

More importantly you would want to keep the secret sauce secret. If I develop something actually near magical, I’m not going to blast the underlying technology from the rooftops, that’s my entire edge.

A big part of my job as a tech lead is to keep people unblocked and transfer knowledge. If I’m ignoring my DMs during the day, what exactly am I doing?

My individual coding output pales in comparison to what I can accomplish by making other people more productive, keeping everyone rowing in the same direction. I feel bad if I take more than 1/2 an hour to respond to a question, at very least directing that person to someone else who knows the answer (or help find it).

I don’t think this problem has anything to do with remote/in office work.

“Exercise considered harmful”

Next paragraph (quick tip) states that it also stimulates glucagon which is an insulin antagonist and keeps it in balance.

My read is that protein and fiber are better for keeping your blood sugar in balance but whole grain can give a safer boost if you’re low. Too much protein can hurt your liver/pancreas, but it’s actually hard for most people to eat “too much” protein as it makes you feel full quickly.

It would have been more appropriate to just give credit to this guy even without accepting his full patch.

Clearly no one was fixing this security issue unless he found it and submitted a fix.

It’s unethical to not give credit, in particular if Michael read his patch, changed some stylistic things, and submitted it himself. I’m surprised everyone thinks the maintainer is in the right here.

If someone scooped up your work and took full credit for it, despite it being a collaboration (and even if miculas code was absolute garbage it was still a collaboration), that wouldn’t feel right, and you wouldn’t want to work with them again.

Yes. They literally have to or they’ve got no chance at competing in the job market.

They’re screwed either way, might as well get 4 years of college out of it.

And then people wonder why none of us are having families. You’re too poor in your 20s, then you aren’t able to biologically by the time you’re in your 40s. But by then everyone in their 40s has the “I’ve got mine” mentality so nothing changes.

We live in the stupidest timeline.

Seems like a product that would be difficult to monetize even with a patent as the bacteria outcompetes other oral microbiota. Which would make it just as possible to be treated via a nice deep tongue kiss. (Or you know, less grossly rinsing then getting swabbed with a sample from someone else).

This is the most accurate description of dealing with a hardware manufacturer I’ve ever read. I’ve never experienced getting for example, drivers from a hardware company where it wasn’t exactly as you described.

So you pay to maintain a more complicated system but get none of the benefits

What hardware do you have that lets you run 7b and do other stuff at the same time?

Do they not care about what happens if you decide you want more money, want to do something else, or just get frustrated and quit?

Normally the technology stack refers to the languages and frameworks underpinning the project.

It is very weird to be in a situation where (for example) we’re working on a project in python and one person refuses to use python. Weird enough that I’ve never seen anyone with a personal tech stack, most people just try to adopt the local custom of the team they’re hired into.

Yeah I don’t think that my point was that I don’t need types, but more closer to yours that I’ll never really have an objective way to know if I need types.

Types have always been a hard sell for me. I honestly never have issues with types being wrong when I write code, and I understand that this is missing the point. The point is that the types define a very concrete interface and we know up front when the interfaces break, and can statically check that the interface is correct everywhere.

I feel that mathematical types are so far distant from the type system of something like C or C++ that the term foot guns itself somewhat.

That is definitely not the same. I write a lot of python code and the interpreter / interactive development is just not as good as it is in Common Lisp.

To my knowledge there’s no real “mainstream” language that goes all in on interactive development. Breakpoints and traceback are all perfectly cromulent ways to debug, but it’s really not the same, sadly.

Cl Condition system + repl = godmode. Your software crashes? Do you go back and set a breakpoint? No, because you’re already in the stacktrace in the repl exactly where the crash occurred. You fix the code, reload it, tell it to ether run where it left off, or restart from an earlier point.

Sounds like ticket price arbitrage. Pick up undervalued tickets, resell them at a higher than listed price. Stubhub has all the correct stuff to do this, high speed api access, data about historical ticket prices. They could even list their estimated price first and find the buyer before purchasing at the lower price. If that doesn’t happen quickly then list the original price.

It’s basically an unregulated ticket stock market.

Not useful for movies. Netflix and chill is not about the media it’s about the people. Many console games as well. Most individual gaming is done on smartphones at this point. Same with porn. Remote meetings you want to see the person’s eye clearly (it helps identify body language).

If it were a smartphone killer maybe you could eat that market, but smartphones are commodity products at this point. You can’t compete in that space at 3.5k usd. Even if it was good, it still will be a niche product for enthusiasts. It needs a low price and a mass market killer app.

Not correctly, which is part of the problem.

You all are right, it is unlikely that anyone will actually follow this recipe. I guess I’m taken aback that some pretty serious electrical engineering has been turned into a step by step tutorial with little mention of the potential risks.

If an inexperienced person does decide to save some money on an inverter by following these steps (as is implied), it could very quickly turn into “how to electrocute yourself and burn down your house in 10 easy steps.” I would not want to be liable for promoting or hosting such content. Similar to the issue with the “very cool” electric wood burning fad that killed a few people.

This seems like an irresponsible thing to make into an instructable

You’ve been misled and misinformed. The majority of Nuclear “waste” can be reprocessed and reused and the lifespan is not “hundreds of thousands of years.” Ironically the biggest issue ends up being the radioactive reactor components that you end up having to deal with when decommissioning.

Expensive compared to what? It’s only expensive if you ignore the negative externalities of literally everything else.

I disagree with you in principle, just because the phone is the only avenue that has so far made use of fingerprint biometric data doesn’t mean it won’t be used more in the future. (It seems to be used here for paystubs, so it is possibly getting more reach currently). Looking at it from a tightening of cybersecurity perspective it would make sense if people thought to add it as a second factor.

“The building isn’t on fire currently so there’s no need to move the gas can away from the fireplace.” Isn’t a compelling argument.

It’s good we’re clear on this, let’s not attempt prohibition again please.

HBO doesn’t have the same model as a typical streaming platform, they are closer to the model of their subscription service where they cycle content rather than having a static lineup. The idea is to be more curated with newer or higher quality content.

Netflix and Hulu remove content because they lose the rights, HBO removes it so that it is fresh, but not an overwhelming amount of content.

How many hours can you potentially work?

Oh, to be sure, and even if the customer were following the letter of the contract, Oracle would force them to settle by simply making the court case incredibly expensive to fight. You’d be made an example of absolutely.

Does this create a loophole where you have a shell company with 1 person in charge of “running” your Java applications. You can obviously still do development on OpenJDK or whatever.

I mean, too much of a PITA to do when there are reasonable alternatives, but interesting to think about.

I remember when oracle bought sun and it really felt like java was likely to die because of its new owner. It is amazing how successful it has continued to be in spite of that.
