As a EU citizen, I wonder how that is different than the China Communist Party methods.
An attempt at a true ELI5 is the bodies exist in what we know as spacetime, not as separate independent concepts of space and time which we perceive from our day to day experience, so we have to know a bit about the difference. Chiefly in spacetime everything always travels the same "speed" (c, the universal speed limit) and it's just a matter of how much of that speed appears as "traveling through space" and how much appears as "traveling through time". When 2 bodies warp spacetime it causes changes in the way each body's spacetime speed is distributed causing them to accelerate towards each other.

The ELI15 version is think about vectors in our normal concept of 3D space first, if I told you a body was always moving at 100 meters per second and it was 100% in the horizontal direction you'd say there was 0 meters per second in the vertical direction. Now say something curves this geometry a little bit, the body will still be traveling at 100 meters per second but now a tiny bit of that speed may appear to manifest in the vertical direction and a tiny bit less appear to manifest in the horizontal direction. Same general story with spacetime except the math is a lot more complex leading to some nuance in how things actually change.

The ELI20 version should you want to understand how to calculate the effects yourself is probably best left to this 8 part mini series rather than me https://youtu.be/xodtfM1r9FA and the 8th episode recap actually has a challenge problem to calculate what causes a stationary satellite to fall to the sun (in an idealized example) that exactly matches your question.
“There’s no such thing as bad weather”.
I want to believe it's a good thing, but having to support a platform that doesn't support good ole symlinks is incredibly aggravating. Npm too would be much easier to work with if it could have had symlinks. If only there weren't some weird platform-I-don't-want-anyways's limitations gumming thing up. Microsoft extending their Microsoftisms into every software platform is a frustrating limitation to keep facing.

I'm fine with the general attitude of harmony and oh yay, a bigger tent for everyone, it doesn't bother me, and platform flexibility has it's upsides. But there really is a downside to this all too, and it goes unremarked. I want to at least put down some words, somewhere, to remark that Windows support is constraining & limiting. OpenJDK of course is cross platform & already supports Windows, but the sign that this is a proper & well supported thing in Windows will quite likely amplify Windows user's expectations that all the libraries & tools they run across are going to be catered to them & their experience. It increases a library maintainer's burden, supporting this new class of usually-not-that-expert users. I encourage us to reflect on this as a mini Eternal September event, of Microsoft extending the reach of their community into something that used to be a little more deliberate; that's maybe putting it a little strongly, but I think we can recognize the parallel.

To summarize, are more prevalent technical constraints, and re-emphasized demands upon open-source Java authors, in this shift to further allow & encourage Windows based Java development.
Slightly tangential, it's a huge pity that twitter suspended the account of the medieval death bot.

I think it's kind of like the "risk homeostasis" thing people talk about. If you have really good engineers, then you don't just let them design the greatest vehicle possible, you ask them to cut costs from that design. And because they're really good, they can make things work that others couldn't, and so they get pushed harder, until something goes wrong on a large scale, because there were tradeoffs that couldn't be eliminated.
> Can one thousand people build the same amount as one million people? No. They can’t even build 1/1000th as much.

Except that is one of the root causes for wealth/income disparity. A few thousand software developers can and did obviate maybe million+ secretaries, travel agents, book sellers, retail middlemen, map makers, camera manufacturers, advertisers etc.

The reason tech companies have such high profits per employee is because they deliver even more value per employee, far more than previous companies have ever delivered on a per employee measure at their scale. That’s the power of the infinitely scalable solutions and near zero marginal costs of software.
Well, the issue is that after the bubble pops he will have to wait 20 years anyway to reach today's value. I fail to see how Samsung stock is undervalued.
That's one example of a Wirecutter recommendation that goes against the prevailing wisdom. There are probably others, too -- but that doesn't necessarily mean all their reviews are somehow bad or tainted. You can find recommendations from Consumer Reports that run against the prevailing wisdom, too; I know I'm not alone in having thought in the past that there were some categories of products they were great with and other categories of products they were... not so great with.

I know the "you can never trust anyone who has affiliation links" argument, but if we follow that to its logical conclusion, Wirecutter should be strongly biased toward picks that give them the most money for referrals, and that's not really backed up by their choices. They pick cheaper choices pretty frequently, and it's possible to find picks where there's no apparent affiliate link at all, e.g., their pick for best "high-performance" subwoofer. One can posit, as was done in the thread you linked, that there might be deals directly with manufacturers that we don't know about, but "we can't be sure they're being underhanded without us knowing" doesn't actually get us anywhere useful -- the same could obviously be said about anyone, including CR.
I have no gripe with Clojure, I take issue with someone claiming that Amazon, Apple, and Netflix have systems that operate at scale because of it. Clojure is a fine niche language, but it’s not the secret sauce to big tech web scale.
> Did fiscal and monetary policy help smooth things out?

We're assuming the crash in March was due to COVID - though there's no proof this was the case. This very much could have been a correction to more realistic valuation.

> So you're saying "this time is different." Let's see how that plays out.

Agree here - I think we're in for an interesting year. We may have amplified the upswing dynamics with Fed action, but I'm pretty sure we'll see amplified downswings, as a result.
That sounds like academic twitter to me as well (I never used Twitter for anything else, so I can't say if it is just the platform in general).
I've begun to wonder whether short-term economic depression in '08 and maybe '20 would have been preferable to the slow march to endemic corruption and aristocracy that the US is on. If the trend continues one would eventually expect long-term disruption to the US's ability to maintain cohesion.
> I got an email from Paul Graham saying basically that being a single founder put me at a disadvantage, because two founders can talk each other out of bad ideas, but I appeared too stubborn. I’m not entirely sure what this means, as I was under the impression, from reading his essays, that Paul was against single founders because they might give up too easily, so a founder who sticks to his idea would be desirable.

Having worked both solo and with partners, I will never again run a business solo for an extended period of time. If the business is already profitable, I'll hire a competent GM-level person to help run it. If it isn't profitable enough to do that, then I'm going to spend a majority of my time recruiting someone for whom the company will be greater than the sum of its parts.

Having someone to talk to is huge. If they pick out a single one of your blindspots or bad points, that could make the business 20% more successful. Really, there's a long list of things that can go wrong in business. Tweaking and refining at any stage could easily give a 1%, 2%, 5% edge. Those stack up really fast.

Solo isn't so good. Partners are good. If profitable, you can hire some talented to take that role. If not profitable, I'd strongly encourage you to get over your... well, I was about to call it delusions of grandeur, but that isn't fair to say. For me, in the past I've fallen in love with my ideas, thought they were worth more than they were, and thought the execution would come fairly easily. I was delusional. Maybe you're not, but if you don't have money coming in and an obvious winner on your hands, you might rethink what the business is worth and go recruit someone. Have some sort of vesting or buyout provisions if it doesn't work and go get a cofounder.

I was the biggest pro-solo guy in the world previously, but I was mistaken. You got a high fever? Tough shit, it's just you running the business, make it work anyways. You ripped the cartilage in your knee and can't walk? Tough shit, hobble over the taxi stand, get a taxi to the bank, and limp/drag yourself in to do your business.

Having a team is good. If profitable, hire a GM-type, that'd work. If not strongly think about recruiting a cofounder.
Languages can be both interpreted and compiled. However, there are clear differences between a compiler, and an interpreter. That's the fine print that everyone's missing when talking about the distinction between the two (or lack thereof).
It doesn’t need to heavily dominate! Especially in WFH days, where you eat breakfast and lunch at home.

If you eat three meals a day and have staple breakfasts and lunches (for us it’s oatmeal/muesli in the morning with fruits, sandwiches for lunch) and only ever order in for dinner, at least ⅔ of your meals each day automatically come from “groceries”. And home cooked dinners are usually the most expensive meal of the day (if they feature the typical dinner meats).

Trading off for takeout, many restaurants are overjoyed to give you two servings in the name of one, and that makes at least one meal for the next day! At least this is how it works for us.

Alcohol is a good point though! It can definitely make groceries look more expensive than they are.
The thing is, you need to find an actor who can do a perfect impression of your rhythms and mannerisms -- facial, bodily, and vocal.

Which is actually incredibly hard. It's easy to do jokingly and exaggeratedly for SNL. But getting it down enough to be believable is a ton of work.

Also, celebs LOVE doing cameos. They're not lowering themselves. It's a blast to do. Except in very rare circumstances, celebs aren't doing cameos for the money.
i like the idea of paid content and wish it were more abundant on the web. for example, i would pay Venkatesh Rao to hurry up with more posts in his Gervais Principle series and i am glad to pay $5 per. actually, come to think of it, $5 seems like a lot.. $2 for a bad one and $5 for a good one, all right.
Aren’t there refund laws that should require them to refund you 1 day into a month ling subscription?
There are buttons on the yoke for turn signals, wipers, high beam, horn?, and their voice control. These are in addition to the dial controls on the existing cars. So seems like nothing is being offloaded to the touch screen.

Every new car has a sensor in the passenger seat to turn on the passenger airbag when it's occupied. It would be no issue to also turn on the touchscreen.
“Pumping” in the context of pump and dump is not buying, it is exhorting other people to buy. It is a form of fraud where person A lies to person B in order to extract money from them.
From the charter, you for sure are going to need a bit o' trainin' if you want to go pro! ;)
I've been using plausible (https://plausible.io/) recently and I've been really happy with it. I've written about the move from GA to plausible, for my use-case, here: https://www.bookstackapp.com/blog/replacing-ga-and-mailchimp...
Yeah, but the stuff they are bound by can be violated by them misapplying the law. There's no real discipline or corrective action other than the appeal you mentioned, but even that doesn't ensure that it won't recur, or that similar mistakes won't happen at the next level.

This happened recently as an example, there's a law that exempts dogs undergoing field training from being on a leash. There's no definition of field training in statute and the definition in the dictionary is very permissive (basically any action related to training a hunting/working dog). Under the principle of lenity, any ambiguity is supposed to be interpreted in favor of the defendant. The judge ruled that we were just playing fetch, even though we had a letter from a game warden saying the activities would be acceptable under the law. The judge also misapplied facts that had nothing to do with the law, such as if we have a license or training on how to train dogs, yet there is no state license nor does the law mention any requirement to be trained (it's customary to self-train). And saying that we didn't have any special equipment with us, which again is nowhere in the law and isn't required. There were other issues and misapplication of law related to rights violations, a motion to dismiss, and even contradictory rulings about trial de novo issues.

Also, at the lowest level the magistrates aren't even required to be lawyers. They can violate rights, misapply law, and even yell at you or tell you they won't hear your side all with no consequences because they claim ignorance, so they're "just mistakes" that you can pay for an appeal to hopefully fix.

There's zero accountability for the police, DA's office, and the courts. We witnessed multiple rights violations, documented lies, and gross misapplication of law, but nobody cares.
instead of cookssource.com I get www.intuit.com.
My goodness. I'm shocked anyone is motivated enough to even get stuff through that process.
As disappointing as this result is, I'm glad that Ars seems to do science reporting with remarkable clarity.
However, my guess is that Google's move is more of a business decision.
I am annoyed by the error bubbles too because they truncate the actual error message - you have to open a whole new window just to see the entire message. In Eclipse, you get a red (X) in the sidebar on which you can click (and a list of problems) so you never have to fight any extraneous windows just to see your error in context.

In my opinion, Eclipse is way better than XCode (not to mention more versatile), and Eclipse's code assist (or whatever they call it) is far superior to XCode's precisely for the reason outlined in this article.
I think the rationale is in EBCDIC support; the C standard didn't want to/couldn't mandate ASCII, and therefore could not use the ASCII NUL character.

I honestly don't know whether POSIX/SUS mandates ASCII.
Yeah, that's unportable. Although I'm not aware of any system where it doesn't work.

Right. I was considering changing this in FreeBSD last year in order to prevent map-at-NULL kernel exploits, but cooler heads prevailed (and pointed out to me how much code such a change would break).

It's not hard to find. We've got over a dozen stories lined up so far and we're hearing from more businesses every day.

This one shouldn't have been posted as part of this series. We definitely want to keep this series clean and clear with no ambiguity.
Yeah, a sibling poster shows this explicit example (from CPython IIUC) with Eszett/'ss'.
Turning the JZ into a nop to fallthrough to the next line is easier, right? That might be what he did in the quickfix area anyway.

The self-marriage part was pretty hilarious. "Do I take myself? I do!"
I agree but I despise crowdsourcing and ultimately don’t see a huge value add since the platforms all take a cut and are scammy anyways, might just take that part down. can’t afford to do it myself tho
...sic that most American of phrases, getting off on a technicality.
just like an armchair activist as well who takes a genuine question and makes another one a villian
What's the ratio of each? Is there a tracker?
It should be interesting to investigate about how other technology shifts happened before. Were they an obvious revelation or the result of lobby/PR/... ?
While you appear to suggest that reference [1] is a bad thing, or even a slippery slope, there's not really any indication that these consultations had an adverse impact on the quality of the results.

Communication is an incredibly tricky thing. Even when the science is sound, shortsighted approaches at communication can have serious repercussions, even potentially causing deaths (think public health guidance being misinterpreted, misunderstood, or decontextualized, for example).

Being conscious of this doesn't dilute the truth of the message, and being respectful/mindful of others doesn't mean we need to compromise on the science either.

For clarity: this is not a response to any part of your comment other than the reference to the nature article.
And if you don’t want a ticket, you can just buy one of the license plates that are exempt. It works!
Not until neuroscientists even remotely understand how consciousness forms
Well it’s not one of the big four specifically. Neither is Twitter. While they carry weight, they’re simply not as dominant in terms of seeing cultural norms.
Propane is quite expensive compared to natural gas, though, especially from a fixed-line utility. Except maybe this weekend!
What a truckload of crap. Brains can do causal reasoning because neurons can only fire in a single direction? Computers cannot because they can only say A=B? Really?

Computers are perfectly capable of causal reasoning, what else is an if statement? The issue is whether causal relations can be inferred from observations alone, and that is an entirely different issue.

Professors of story "sciences" should study some real science before babbling their delusions like this.
The first page of Google results had pages that linked to his blog. And I think patients would be more likely to click on pages containing his name than an obscurely named blog.

The article wasn't flattering. It wasn't a smear or a hit piece.
Actually, the need for sales to be flexible and innovative is one of the reasons customizability is so important for CRM systems.
> Nodejs is good choice for realtime programming.

...for some definition of realtime. Javascript and node.js are terrible choices for serious signal processing systems, for example.

We really need to find another word for the kinds of browser applications people call realtime these days.
> There is no real way of blocking this behavior other than giving guidance not to do that.

I was disappointed by that. It's a security problem. If protecting even taskbar app list is a hopeless case, how are we supposed to have trust in security of any other data?
Flash won.

HTML 5 is the web remaking itself in the image of Flash.
It's a noticeable improvement once you reach that scale of operations. But that's not all that easy. Solar panels are nicely decentralized.
User-defined placement new and custom allocators for existing data structures are still being worked on. `box` can do a form of placement new already, and while you can use your own allocator, you can't use it with already-existing types.
This is precisely my experience. It might have a slightly odd API, but React is an extremely sharp tool to have in your toolbox.
This blog post is absolutely maddening.

He wants a language choice for a 10+ year project and dismissing Java because it doesn't evolve fast enough. That is one of the top attributes you want for a long running project.

Being OK with Elixer and Clojure but dismissing Erlang and Java is insane when the former are much more likely to break compatibility.
Isn't the 256 char limit somewhat (or actually, greatly) restrictive?
Yes, it's a class thing more than a race thing at this point. I probably should have tried to make that more clear. :/ It was a race thing historically, but now the racial line is incidental to the class line.

I do think African-American culture is a unique case, though. Immigrants tend to be socially (upwardly) mobile and get out of the ghetto in a generation or three. The old black neighborhoods are different, much more trap-like and harder to escape.

So the next question is... Does the cover letter even matter? Is the cover letter the reason I got past HR in the first place? Or did they just shred my letter, speed read my resume, and slap it up to you because I got enough buzz words in the resume? Or more probably somewhere in between?
The Firefox extension "Link Widgets" also uses those to generate a menu bar for the site (it also uses the rel="top", rel="up", rel="first" and rel="last").
In Seattle, craigslist is kinda the way to apply for jobs. I've found that 99% of the times I applied through the careers section of a company's website, I received no response. Applying through craigslist was the only way I ever got an interview over my 9 month long job hunt, and it was how I got my current job.

While I was at a job interview for one company, I was eavesdropping on the receptionist. Some people had decided to cold call the company to see if they could apply to any job openings. The receptionist calmly responded, that they weren't accepting any resumes at the moment, but any job openings would be posted on craigslist.

So yeah. While I imagine most cities are probably more bottom of the barrel stuff, in a select few cities craigslist is almost necessary for a job-seeker.
I'm immediately drawn to Candidiasis / Intestinal dysbiosis as a possibility.

Candida can play havoc on your system if it overthrows your intestinal tract. And most (if not all) of your symptoms are that of Candidiasis.

While it's not the most scientific, you can try the "spit test". First thing when you wake up, spit in a fresh glass of water. Wait 10-20 minutes. If your spit falls "stringy" to the bottom you may have a Candida overgrowth. In which case, get some pro-biotics, preferably those which withstand stomach acid and get more accurate testing from your doctor.
Depends on the job. If you work at a general office position, why the hell should you care what hobbies the CEO has, or what your boss enjoys collecting, or the fact that your company deals in gold paper clips to rich industrialists.

For most jobs, this isn't important.

Never trust advice from recruiters.
Screen's OK, probably as good as any cheap photo frame.

If you want a non-cuddly chumby then it'd probably do the trick with a bit of work. :).
