This has been on my bookmark list since I read it many years ago and I reread it whenever I have to refresh on js fundamentals. Kudos for resurfacing it.

Yup, distinctly remember we had programming lessons in second grade on one of those, right before the regime fell. I am not sure if that was the reason I ended up writing software for a living but it sure did not hurt. Emphasis on science,

IANAL, but from what I have heard from lawyers here in Canada, cutting %20 of your salary all other things being equal is considered a "constructive dismissal" and you can sue your employer for that.

I have to mention some Ilf and Petrov for a light-hearted read in between the heavy stuff.

Yes, as much as demographic decline is a big problem, the bigger one is the total and deep institutional corruption.

Nitpick: giving slack usually means being less strict, perhaps you meant flak as in excessive and abusive criticism.

Someone give this link to Neal Stephenson pronto :) I've vaguely remember him trying to kick start a sword game several years ago.

Not affiliated in any way, just found it enjoyable, an Android game called Circuit Jam was a really fun way to refresh some basics for me.

I think you are on to something here, breaking it down by metro regions. In Ontario, it is pretty much GTA vs the rest of the province, as much so that the easing of COVID restrictions as of now proceeds separately for Toronto for example.

Lives will be disrupted either way, lifting restrictions too early will result in more deaths, which is the ultimate disruption of life.

Canada too, up to 75% of the payroll, for companies with 30%+ decline in revenue. It will take weeks to roll though, it is all promises as of now

In some other thread here someone cited study on monkeys that seems to indicate immunity is indeed built: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22582455

That smells a lot like panic move and I am not sure it will move the needle much. Economy will severly shrink no matter what Fed do.

Also Industrial Light and Magic was/is? very successful.

It's not hard, but it's a manual process which is always prone to errors or oversights. Having to support lots of versions just smells a little fishy to me, maybe justifiable if you have some type of firmware/hardware tie-in.

by ivankolev 7y ago
That works until you have to support lots of old versions.

That is what I do too. Combined with restriction on the pull request so you can't merge it if it's behind the branch you are merging onto.

Yes, but defence in depth/layering is the over-arching, higher-order concept in the security game.

Case in point, close to where my humble abode is, there is a newly built artscape center, a supposed hub of a condo tower with spaces for installations and happenings. Well, since it is a newly built unit, it falls outside of rental control

I came in TO in the middle oughts and there were patches of the city still having that artsy, edgy and unkempt vibe, and even the commercial Yonge strip from Bloor down to Queen was atmospheric. All got lost to the glass condo towers, and t

I have a suspicion, and it sounds obvious when you state it, that there's a correlation between smoking and severity and both China and Iran are relatively heavy smokers.

Sounds interesting, coming from Facebook and initiated by the guy who also started Yarn and Babel, so a good chance to achieve its lofty goals.

I have always wondered about that myself. I guess I implicitly trust all the large orgs already using their products to do their due diligence, but if it is a targeted attack there is nothing much you could do.
