- Only person whose DCMs were awarded in two different wars
- He refuse his WII medal, because it was handed by a general despising french Canadian soldiers
- Lost one eye in first days of Normandy campaign

> just imagine that my Haskell-style syntax

I wouldn't otherwise, but after reading this comment I have to ask: why did you use such a syntax instead of Scheme, which is what TFA uses?

EDIT: also, I second "The Little Schemer" suggestion. I'm working (for the nth time) through "The Seasoned Schemer" in preparation for "The Reasoned Schemer" and it still is very enjoyable. It's a bit like SICP but with a sense of humour and unique, engaging style of presentation. Well worth the read!
Anything can be wildly disrespectful in some culture
Thanks for the great response! You're right, I would definitely be suspicious of people marketing one thing and delivering another, so to speak. I haven't had the experience of getting a software development job and finding myself fixing printers, so perhaps that's a danger I should learn from your kindly shared experience to be more wary of. I suppose our experiences and frustrations have simply developed differently!
Lets create an online Javascript bible, not the frameworks like angular, ember, backbone etc... But core javascript, objects, constructor functions, bitwise operators. Everything about Javascript language should be there.
Synopsis: atherine Shu (@catherineshu) from TechCrunch shares with us her perspectives on the state of Northeast Asia (China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan & Hong Kong) from interesting companies to startups. In the discussion, we analysed the BAT (Baidu-Alibaba-Tencent) companies in China and the emerging Xiaomi gearing to step out globally out of China. We also deep dived into the startup and venture capital ecosystem in Taiwan and how the country is moving upstream to be a force in hardware startups. Lastly, we take a quick run through on the remaining countries in North East Asia.
I interviewed for Apple earlier this month. I didn't get the position, but I really enjoyed the challenging interview process and meeting the 7 people who interviewed me.

I had a phone interview with a manager, and then a three-hour process at Apple HQ in which I was interviewed by three pairs of employees from the team I was applying to work with. I was very impressed that they devoted so much employee time to talking with me. They were very friendly people, and asked an interesting variety of questions, ranging from puzzles to how I'd handle various theoretical work scenarios to technical questions of various kinds.

The gent who recommended me told me that he had to apply six times before getting hired, so I'm planning to keep applying, for other positions.

There. Now someone has posted about interviewing at Apple. Happy? :)
Lots of jobs where a GPU is a factor of 1000x faster so...
"5nm" is too simplistic; the material shortage continues upstream to substrates and raw wafers that are used across nodes
>>Gold is a finite resource, like any other natural resource.

For practical purposes, gold is not finite for the time being. We can keep mining it to expand supply for a long time to come.

Maybe for some elements, it would make sense to apply a usage tax to discourage under-utilization of the existing supply, but that day hasn't come for gold.

>>You need land first and it need to be one of a few special locations on earth where such mining is profitable.

There are many places where one can purchase mining rights, and profitably mine gold. It's just a matter of investing the resources to do it.
Is jeff bezos still the CEO? i thought someone else took the rains, the former leader of the AWS team.
Ah, but there's the trick, you ignore the presence of potential UB and write a lot of complicated code real quick!
Directory file descriptors already exist. I wouldn't call them "current working" directories though. Are you suggesting an expansion of those, or something different from those?
Here's an example of how useful webassembly can be: we're at the (fairly early) stages of developing PRQL [1]. Because it's in rust, with WASM we could put a live compiler on a webpage [2], and recompile the PRQL into SQL on every keystroke.

There's no server process — it's all built in GitHub Actions, hosted in GitHub pages, and runs in the browser. The whole WASM code is 164 lines (o/w half are comments).

The author, Jean-Louis Gassée, has some good points. It seems less risky to let the iPad pro evolve gradually into a fully fledged Mac replacement, than switching from intel to ARM based processors. Many years ago, the same Jean-Louis Gassée, wrote that all operating systems eventually gets cancer and dies. Maybe it is time for OSX to slowly die and be replaced by the much more light weight iOS?
Command line would be the only necessity. You can write a script that could download docker & run it. That's what I meant by Makefile too.
In the short term, these kinds of measures can have an effect, sure.

It produces immediate demand at the cost of reduced future investment -- which could potentially keep suppliers afloat temporarily in a crisis.

But while the problem today is a demand problem, we are really only days-to-weeks away from a supply catastrophe unlike anything seen in two centuries or more.

Basically, no new stuff is being made anywhere right now -- because it is illegal to do so most places -- we are all locked in our houses on threat of arrest (or worse in some countries)

Right now, the local warehouses are still full, so the stores get restocked. Those warehouses will get restocked from regional ones.

But, we are draining all of the buffers in all of the supply chains of all of the products. Once it all drains, there is no more supply.
What’s wrong with just plain HTML and Nginx or Apache?
They should be responding already surely?
`youtube-dl` downloads from many more sites than just YouTube. As for the quality, people listening to streaming music probably tend to not pay much attention to that. As indicated by the popularity of music uploads on YouTube.
Does anybody know where I can find the Mixtus partial evaluation system? It's mentioned all over the place (e.g. The Art of Prolog) but I haven't yet been able to locate the actual source. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
That's honestly not much of a counterexample, since you're talking about a 260hp car. Good on him for doing as well as he did, but it seems unlikely he'd be physically able to handle a Formula 1 car at all.

The thing you have to remember is that it takes a demanding and specialized workout routine to get an experienced race car driver to the point where they can hold their head up through a turn in an F1 car. Some of the other demands put on a driver's body during a race are pretty crazy as well, particularly on a hot day.
Agreed that the present atmosphere makes it hard to concentrate on any one thing.
I see. The only other thing is I primarily use it for 3D printing stuff and since it's a surface vs. parametric sometimes something that looks solid is not. I have started using a checker for edges/faces but it's funny when I don't pay attention to a slicer and there's a chunk missing on the print. Anyway yeah mostly the pain now is 2017 version if you rotate a view it lags. But yeah sounds like need to pay for it.
I believe that 'excess burden' is essentially how many more people than expected would show these outcomes. IE, if normally you'd expect to see 5/1000 people in a control group experience a stroke, but observe stokes in 15/1000 people in your non-control group, the excess burden would be 10/1000.

HR appears to be 'hazard ratio' which is simply a ratio between the two groups. The above example would have a hazard ratio of 3, as three times as many people presented with the outcome than expected.
A wise mentor once encouraged me, "Assume positive intent and ask lots of questions."

That directive has served extremely well ever since.
Bet yours is a couple years old. They really reduced the intensity when they switched to unibody enclosures.

Anecdote: My first MBP was a graduation present from my parents just before I graduated HS. For some unmemorable reason they “grounded” me from it for a day or two (during finals, maybe?) - but in its sleep state, it was keeping them from sleeping, themselves, with its bright, pulsing LED as it sat on Mom's dresser. I had to laugh just a little at what felt, to me, like Apple-sponsored karmic revenge :)
Education is not an inheritable trait.

If anything, the cultural effect of the purges was the most devastating.
I wrote a library to do something like this a couple of years ago. Not sure if it's exactly what you need, and it could probably do with a lick of paint, but you might find it interesting.

The PPP is not without flaws for these uses; compare the average standard of life in China or India to the average standard of life in the Netherlands or Canada, and compare their PPP rankings.

If you're looking to compare quality of life, while not perfect, I would imagine the Human Development Index would be closer in line with average experience: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Development_Index

Agree. Helps to section time to product dev and client work. Say, product dev morning till 10pm, anything after is client work. Also, let the clients know if at all possible that your are working on a project of your own. Some may be interested in testing, providing connections, or even bankrolling the project.
I doubt it. Google takes security seriously and has a superb security team. Sony... doesn't exactly have a great track record when it comes to this.
The blog post seems to imply Stack Exchange is working with the Chaos Monkey when it really isn't. They didn't really build a system that randomly shuts down servers or services. The difference is subtle but important.
Stop looking at others so much and concentrate on your product and you'll have a much easier time of it. All success is relative, it's not so much a yardstick as an 'these were your opportunities and this is what you made of them' thing.

Once you realize that you'll have an easier time of it. And keep in mind that what you see in the press is quite rarely the unvarnished truth. It tends to be a lot more glossy than reality.
Should have used an encrypted complex password and a password manager.

It is the fault of both of you. ¯\_(シ)_/¯
Anecdotally, a lot of the new stock and crypto investors on the internet this year hold no illusions that they’re investing. The pop-culture mindset is that the stock market is just gambling, so they might as well bet big with long shot companies and options.

The common sentiments are “I’m only investing what I can afford to lose” and “but what if this is the next GameStop/Bitcoin?” They’re entering with a mindset that betting it all is fine because they’ve mentally written off the money.

I’ve been using this as an opportunity to introduce friends and family to more passive, long-term investment strategies but the skepticism is strong.
Opinion like yours must be heavily censured.

Saudi populace is begging the West to do something about its despotic regime of state terror.

It is this, and West's CYNICAL BETRAYAL of its own stated democratic principles what paints a target on US populace for Saudi radicals.

US is equated with the Saudi regime, and gets reprisals for that.

US government association with Saudi regime is dangerous for America, it's damaging to was majority of Saudi populace, it server no reason at all.
I cook everything myself. Basic ingredients are cheap, so I don't need to be careful. This budget includes lots of wine and cheese. No compromises there.
Pro-tip: if the rates are really high, stop using so much power.

What happened to personal responsibility?
Welfare states depend on economies of scale that only states can provide. Switching to a culture of totally private mode of investment would mean an end to the welfare state and the slipping of much of the population into precarity. So, the best thing for both Saudis and the world would be politically liberalizing moves that maintain all that state investment and high standard of living, but with authorities that aren't corrupt murderers.

However, as we have abundantly seen in the Middle East, making life worse for the populace tends to hinder those very moves towards more just government because of the resentment it breeds.
Yes. Many sites assume that GA is there, and for example clicks on buttons may fail to work if the GA click call fails. It isn't great engineering from the site but Firefox wants its users to still be able to browse the web.
> Chromecast has nothing to do with a web browser

At one point it basically did, since Chrome was (IIRC) the first thing to support casting to Chromecasts.
I don't doubt that some internet companies will be around in 30 years. I just don't know about facebook, because they are company based on social interaction. The way we interact with each other on the internet changes often.

Right now, facebook is the rage with kids. That is fine when they are in middleschool and highschool. Honestly, I cannot fathom dragging around every friend and acquaintance I've made with me through my entire life. There's a reason why you loose touch with most of your friends after highschool.
To be fair, I've never looked at the source until now and... wow. I'm definitely glad he wrote the paper to go along with it.

It's not even that most of the code is hard to read (although a few parts did leave me scratching my head), it's just that without the lingustic explanations I'd be lost.

I wouldn't blame you if you held off porting it for the time being. A stopgap measure is definitely better than nothing. I just wanted to make sure you knew about it.
They are probably going to announce streaming from itunes from their lala purchase.
The point it makes is one aspect that Mike Cohn's chapter on Financial Prioritization really gives great insight (http://my.safaribooksonline.com/9780137126347/ch10). In the end, such issues are a business decision, and making it can be very detailed and complex or very concise and simple, depending on things like project size and how agile must you be. But they are business ones. Looking into them through any other lens risks a series of possibly very bad decisions.
Cool technique. Similar to what this guy was doing with the YouTube favicon: http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2009-09-16-n27.html
> Hiring librarians is not a scalable solution to fixing metadata.

I’m skeptical of this line of reasoning.

If we can’t hire librarians to label all those books, how did we ever get people to write, edit, bind, read, distribute, and finally scan them?
You can enter any major airport securely by flying in from a smaller, regional airport. So you need to secure those.

But you can get into a smaller, regional airport securely by flying in from an even smaller airport. So you need to secure those too.

We have a lot of airports in the US that need to be secured.

The better response is to tell Americans that airplanes are a terrorist target, just like busses (which are bombed all the time in Israel, thanks to their stellar airport security making airlines a harder target), and to remain vigilant.

That is all. Taking off our shoes, submitting to naked photographs and (just for fun) radiation is beyond laughable. It seems people would rather be demeaned than live in (an irrational) fear. Sad.

Even sadder: more Americans will die by choosing to drive rather than fly. Somehow, I doubt Big Sis sheds a tear.
If this is all that's announced tomorrow, then the apple.com post today was overhyping. And I don't generally accuse Apple of overhyping.
I get emails from both every 6 month (and tell them each time to come again 6 months later still, as I continue to run my own business).

Two friends of mine, fine engineers with background in database systems and large-scale distributed systems, have got offers from both and had successfully played one off the other. One of them ended up in Facebook and the other one in Google.

It's a war, no doubt.
Yeah, that’s a myth. Trump voters are more affluent than Democrats.

See all those confederate flags today? The gallows? The Auschwitz shirts? When they tell you they are motivated by racism, believe them!
How is a well-known science fiction author unrelated to a thread about science fiction where multiple other authors are mentioned? What's strange is your need to critique other people's commenting style.

For the record, I was looking for comparisons between the two from people who have read both. Hopefully that makes it a little less strange for you.
It's a complicated situation to be in and I feel your pain. Been there done that! I don't think I've ever gotten a single job from sending in applications randomly using something like Indeed or Monster. Usually they were all through word of mouth. That being said, you should probably just keep trying. Besides encouraging you to keep going, here's some other advice which you can take or don't. Just trying to be helpful if I can!

1. Build up a portfolio of work, through hobby at first. Build some apps, release something, post it here and at the bottom of the post or on the README, or website, mention you're looking for work. It gives you exposure and experience and could lead to some interesting opportunities, but at the very least you're gaining some relevant knowledge. Try to work on things you love, but work with tools you're not familiar with (yet). Figure out some modern tech stacks, methodologies, practices, etc, and run it. You could even get started learning Web Development with C#. Come up with an idea such as what we discussed before, pick a solid framework, learn how to do proper testing (and implement full enough test coverage), pick a apidoc generator and write some really nice docs, pick up a framework like React and build a UI, etc.

2. Try to expand your networking. I've gotten three jobs by asking around to all my IRC friends, and one job through responding to a Hacker News thread. Join some relevant IRC channels, Discord communities, etc, and get to know people. Like I said, I've never had success just submitting resumes. Might need to be a bit more strategic and reach out to people personally, perhaps through LinkedIn.
they recently disbanded the homeless camp on the Burke Gilman, near UW under the bridge, after it burned down accidentally. That was really the only major one actually close to the trail — I bike it weekly.
Pretty much. I watch some pretty left-wing political commentators on YouTube along with math/cs/physics videos and some geostratrgy videos, and all it takes is for me to watch one gun video by curiosity or one Joe Rogan video and leave YouTube playing to come back to some extremely questionable content. There's a sinkhole effect somewhere here.
The capitol building doesn't make decisions though. The building grants no legitimacy. Just because there's people on the capitol building, doesn't mean anyone will listen to them.

If congress wants to meet on zoom, they can
Just because you share more things in common with those you hate doesn't mean the recommendation is broken.

If a large percentage of people who watch gun blowing up videos also are interested in the videos you mention than why wouldn't they show it (I assume if it were breaking guidelines it would be removed)
"A" does matter a bit. Builds are uploaded to the App Store include bitcode, which Apple strips on distribution.

According to docs, enabling bitcode: "Includes bitcode which allows the App Store to compile your app optimized for the target devices and operating system versions, and may recompile it later to take advantage of specific hardware, software, or compiler changes."

It seems quite likely they have (and probably used) the capability to recompile any app on their platform to benchmark real workloads against prototype silicon changes.
Convict takes 2/3. DC falling is more likely than the miracle that has republicans crossing party lines to alienate their monstrous base.

It's a tough read but has some of the most poetic passages in literature, many of which are better than any of those on the linked page.
"You never need more than four colors to color every country on a map a different color from its neighbors"

Is that true in today's geography? I know of one almost [1] counterexample (of that specific statement, not of the four-color theorem): the North Sea, Belgium, the French Republic, Germany and the Kingdom of the Netherlands all border each other, so you need five different colors to color them on a map.

[1] Almost because the Kingdom of the Netherlands isn't a country.

Confused? Read http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_the_Netherlands, in particular the part about overseas territories, and notice that Sint Maarten borders Saint-Martin.

[on an even more sideways track: the US dollar is an official currency in part of the _country_ of the Netherlands (in Bonaire, Saba and St Eustatius)]

Back to my original question: does anybody know of a valid counterexample for the statement on countries?
My guess was the latter, given how high AMD's market cap is currently. However, Xilinx/AMD have some common technology requirements around 2.5d integration and 7 nm IP.

I was hoping for an FPGA-SoC with some Xeon cores when Intel bought Altera, and now I'm hoping for one with Epyc cores.

People can coexist with different opinions, absolutely. That’s not what this is talking about. This is about people whose entire lives became consumed by paranoia and fear of an impending Armageddon.

It happened to be a politics-flavored paranoia in this instance, but it’s not about politics. There are other examples throughout history of people being swept up into an all-consuming bubble.
My understanding is that if your personal taxes are moderately complicated (income from self employment and investment/property, some possible deductions) they're a lot harder in the US though.

HMRC's website in the UK is far from perfect, but its tax form covering all UK personal taxes has the features people appear to be paying for with TurboTax (Q&A format, most sections being optional, references to industry specific deductions, guidance notes) baked in.

If your taxes are "easy" in the UK they come out of your payroll without you filing a return.
My experience has been the opposite. Unless I'm prepared to spend literally thousands of dollars, tax preparers don't seem to be able to do any better than I can. They largely make me do the hard stuff (splitting RSUs by state, fixing incorrect 1098Ts) myself anyway.
