They have in the past used pseudonyms for Internet personalities. The example often used is Virgil Texas, (former?) Chapo Trap House host, whose real name was available online but was not included in his profile. But it might have been easi

It was mainly to track strength of different decks we all played, since you could check ELO of either. It was the strongest player who was upset by it, since once people realized he won 50% of 3 and 4 player games he was always targeted. Bu

Is the issue multiple players or is it teams? I didn't have any problem implementing ELO for multiple players in games where there can be multiple losers but one winner. I modeled it as simultaneous wins for the winner, with a K-factor

I think cover letters make the most sense when they are really a letter. It feels strange to me to have a complicated hiring profile account, including basically rewriting my resume in little text boxes (though I've stopped doing that,

I mean, even hating bankers seems to be basically brand new. The culture of WSB has radically changed very very recently.

I have found coffee carts not uncommon in the US (midwest and california). I think aside from the michoacana guy, food trucks and carts in the US tend to stay put for a long period of time, and really, you don't need more than a cart t

Has the SEC ever considered the market value of a stock false information in this way before? Edit: and as to your first point, it has always been legal to say, hey, I am buying this stock, I like it, I recommend you buy it too. That alone

I read an article yesterday and it suggested that was because George W Bush impressed upon him the importance of having a plan and sticking to it after Bush was surprised at the end of his term with all the people coming out of the woodwork

It seems like they’re explicitly allowed to continue with the deal after a certain time period without notice? Really the article doesn’t talk about that aspect much, and is more about the current state of wearables on the android side.

Yeah, I don't really like the idea of smart watches at all, but the price is low, and the form factor seems reasonable, so I put myself on the notify list. (I use the timer on an F91-W to time my coffee brewing, and that's about a

I think the display strings thing is because exact number of impressions etc is slightly sensitive information. The whole site was "gamed" from the start, but providing exact vote counts makes it easier for other people to game. I

This feels like a faux-woke way to justify workers being paid less. The subtext here is that European workers can't be paid more because of overhead of various public services, and I don't think that's true. If there were a f

Did napster ever come out for Macs? I kinda remember going straight to LimeWire.

Yeah, I wasn't quite sure of that reading the article. I think to prove the usefulness of this hybrid SoC they did at least some of the development. There are situations where Xilinx makes a commodity product that you buy from a distri

I think bombers broadcasting warning messages is somewhat more common with certain types of political violence. I know weather underground bombings tried to choose times for their bombings when buildings would not be inhabited, not always s

I believe "offensive" programming is heavily used in automotive. If there is an issue with the connection to the camera, it is better to show nothing than corrupted and potentially misleading images. Better not to try to guess abo

As a side note, this article suggests using assert. Fine, but make sure you know what your assert does, and when it does that, if you have a debug and release build (which I think you probably shouldn't.) I've spent some time with

I’m not sure if there are standard meanings for these words, but ISO26262 defines Fault, Error, and Failure in specific ways that are useful to think about but I always struggle to keep straight. Well mainly I swap fault and failure if I’m

Running a stop sign is a not a ticket. Nothing is a ticket. I regularly see drivers going 20 MPH the speed limit in the bike lane passing or even into on coming traffic forcing people off the road, all without plates. I don’t think I’ve see

The actions described by this seem to cross the line somewhat clearly. But I always wondered about my former employer, who included the normal postings and the postings for H1Bs in the same places, but it was kinda clear which was which. Sa

I think part of the problem is you comparing to a fairly different industry. Companies that employ "Front End" and "Back end" engineers are very different than NeXT, which had products from asic to high level. If you wor

It's kinda funny, but I sort of wish I had a landline again because of Covid. Spending much more time in phone calls (mainly using WiFi calling due to reception issues, which may be part of the problem) and spending so much time accide

Yeah, I guess what the article describes seems shockingly incompetent. That's what I'm struggling with. The feeling that if they were really trying to a do a fraud they would have gotten closer to succeeding. But what the article

They were tax credits with requirements they did not meet. If they were planning on taking advantage of those credits, it seems like they would have put in the minimum effort to at least appear to meet them. Something a little stranger happ

This was a feature of the Netflix app on the Xbox 360 IIRC. I don’t know if it continues on other gaming platforms today.

I’m not aware of any of that being built in the past ten years, some of the plans were canceled, and I think the momentum has been lost to accomplish most of it. Even just increasing speed on the Hiawatha didn’t happen because it traveled t

I don’t think that’s true that all of empire builder was on a downswing. Before Covid, (and maybe still), empire builder was going to get a second train in each direction daily on the stretch from St Paul to Chicago. Right now 90% of the ro

Is that good? Doesn’t that breed resentment? “Oh, since there is a remote person in the meeting we all have to deal with poor audio, lag, and no eye-contact?” I should say I was remote for 5 years and the meetings where everyone was remote
