Apart from your final sentence, which is just weird, I don't see these as contradictions. Seldom does anyone agree 100% with someone else (mathematicians might be an exception), so one could reasonably consider the IPCC to be reliable on some issues and not on others. But that's probably not even what's' happening; the author might (for all I know) think the IPCC is too far on the side of exaggerating the climate change problem (and ignoring the nuclear solution), but still use them as evidence that the climate feature is not as bad as some claim. And the idea that coal is a good idea in India (a relatively impoverished country) and bad in "some regions" (presumably wealthy countries, you don't say) seems entire non-contradictory to me.

"Insane" or "strange cult"--oh, stuff and nonsense. You need to come back to reality.
There are many afflictions which are hereditary. We typically don’t go about saying how finding treatments that allow these people to live at all or live improved lives inflicts the possibility of further establishing the affliction in a population into the future. I mean this comes off as kind of close to a eugenic attitude, although not quite there.

I’d be okay with some sort of disclosure for future partners as we’d be for many things of this nature.

How much time does it typically take (or should take) to complete a 'homework' project?

> 4. two phone screens with engineers
> 5. onsite interview with 6 engineers

This seems very 'camel is a horse by committee' to me.

Reminds me a bit (know it's different) of dating where someone wants you to meet their family for approval. I immediately pass on those dates (and will add I am happily married to a woman who did not do that).

I wonder about situations where it takes so many inputs to make a decision to me that speaks a great deal about the decision making process being faulty.

Fwiw when I graduated college years ago I was rejected by a company (friend of the family no less) who said they couldn't hire me because 'yes you are smart but you don't know this business' (true I knew zero). So I started a company like theirs myself and now many years later they are gone and my company (which I sold) still survives. (Will add this was years before the internet and common practice for people who knew nothing to go into businesses they knew about).

Now yes I do understand programming is not the same but my point still stands why so many chefs in the kitchen? Does anyone ever go back and track the people who were rejected what happened to them?

Can you anchor a financial network on BTC stability? (If it achieves stability).
IDK..
Total aside..I imagine this utopian energy-financial system future where we overbuild our renewable grid and instead of storing energy we discharge the (green energy) overproduction into crypto mining operations. There are some dudes already on it, it's a new angle to grid power flow modeling.
Except that arouses too much suspicion. Though in fairness that is what used to be the divider.
I can see Bitcoin hardfork to POS once the tech has been proven in Ethereum. Bitcoiners only care about the 21 millions hard cap and a secure network, not the exact consensus algorithm used.
Who actually makes the boards for this? I want to believe here, but I need to know a little more about the supply chain before I’ll pick one up.
Capital is cheap
UX research participants are usually compensated, and so it's usually done to drill down deeper into problems that analytics found and test possible explainations. I don't see what's unscientific about that.

I just clicked on the video and... holy cow, there are two grown men inside a giant, heavy, furry, lion costume, jumping from pole to pole, many feet high, while being able to look only through little holes in the costume, surely with zero peripheral vision.

If someone had told me people would do this as a competitive sport, I would have said, "no way... why would anyone risk their limbs doing that?"

Reality is indeed stranger than fiction.
Raises hand.

Though neither of those two frameworks are precisely core to my being, I do like reason and rationality a lot, and it also makes sense to me how there can exist intersections of attributes that all add up to a person being more or less oppressed versus privileged.
> While Intel always used a dst, src operand ordering for its assembler, there was no particularly compelling reason to adapt this convention and the UNIX assembler was written to use the src, dst operand ordering known from the PDP11.

Tangential but I like to see this as sort of two ways of thinking where the operands are in both cases ordered so that what you “have” is closer to “you”.

So in Intel syntax it’s like you are thinking from the CPU perspective and what you “have” are places that you want to put data into. So dst, src.

In AT&T syntax it’s like you are thinking from the perspective of a program, and what you “have” is data that you want to put into places. So src, dst.

I’m not suggesting that this is the reason mind you. Just saying how I like to think about it.
>why is he opening up his own practice?

He is opening his practice only to patients that are comfortable with him and he is comfortable with. That's a different situation than working with who the hospital assigns him. Also he does say they were 'tentatively' willing to still keep him but it sounds like there was friction nonetheless.
Why would you ask for studies only to assert you don't trust them?
Indeed, however most people do not know this :)
Get a split keyboard (ergodox/kinesis/etc) and put the trackpad in the middle?
Oh yes? Shall we trust the US government in a good investigation on their motives to finance the bloody disaster that is the civil war in Syria? How about we send a Chinese delegation to check the documents inside the Pentagon or the CIA?
So I pay my monthly subscription to FAANG which obliges me to allow every spammer in the world to syndicate my content, and the result is that conversations I start have replies spread across an unlimited number of platforms, each with their own EULA. Jeez, and I thought the status quo of social media verged on dystopic...
I understand your point, still, exploring the Windows-like OS space is not what I would consider fun. I even happen to use some of the beneficial externalities of their exploration and I am glad they explore it and devote their resources to the side-effects I enjoy.

And those are their resources. I respect their decision, even if I cannot agree with their taste for OSs ;-)
I fly regularly out of JFK and live in Manhattan. I always take a cab out of convenience and it almost always takes less than an hour. But it's consitently the worst hour of my trip. I dread that leg more than the flight, the airport, anything.

This is absolutely a service I would use, provided it's $100 per person max. If it turns out to be $300 after the intro period then forget about it.
"the far left"

While some of his defenders are on the left, some are right-wing libertarians, and I don't think it's really reasonable to make shallow politicized generalizations about who his supporters are. For the record, I am very far to the left and while I think the sentence was a bit over the top, I don't think he was innocent or was a noble person. I'd also like to see all the lizard squad kids (including Omari) nailed hard, and find Ulbricht despicable. I liked Mitnick when I met him, though.
The technique is extremely flexible. I'm sure they'll figure out an etching pattern that is both extremely lipophobic and hydrophobic. Only hydrophobia has many applications already.
Not BLM/Antifa but Lijian Zhao (Chinese diplomat) posted a doctored image of a soldier holding a knife to a child’s throat with the message: “Shocked by murder of Afghan civilians & prisoners by Australian soldiers. We strongly condemn such acts, &call for holding them accountable.” (https://twitter.com/zlj517/status/1333214766806888448). Twitter didn’t even bother to post a disclaimer (like they do with Trump’s tweets) and ignored the request of Australia’s PM to delete the tweet.
You're assuming they're applying their rules consistently and not completely arbitratily.
No, I think you’re correct. Incomplete source is bad in any world.

Unfortunately, it’s that world we live in for pretty much everything.

Reproducibility? What if all of the source were to depend on part of a CPU instruction set that we stop using? How long must things be reproducible? We don’t even make lab equipment exactly like we used to with the experiments our current sciences are based on.

However, I give a thumbs up to Groundhog for trying to do the right thing.
The police is the problem in USA, they were right to protest against it.

Private properties burned down can be rebuilt, a democracy overturned overnight with weapons against the people will is a completely different thing entirely.

It's bad to watch cars burning in the streets after a riot (assuming it was the rioters to burn down things, it's easy to infiltrate and take advantage of the situation in those cases, it happens all the times here in Italy), but when you think about it Antifa were rioting for the right of the people to be treated equally regardless of their ethnicity, they were protesting against the fascism of the police, you can see videos of police officers in the Congress taking selfies with the attackers, it is now undeniable that something is wrong and should change, even if you are not Antifa or dislike their methods, I think we can all agree that the police should not welcome hijackers of our democracies as they were close friends.

The attack on Capitol Hill is one of the worst episodes that the west remembers in modern and contemporary history (I think that to find something similar we have to go back to Franco in Spain...)

That's domestic terrorism, there is no turning back if they win, there are no small business to rebuild, that would be a complete disaster, for the entire planet.
> there's software that people complain about and software that nobody is using.

i find this ironic, given the 'popularity' (either way) of C++
Yeah, that is strange. Why was it so slow?

This is again close to 50% slower than your time, but nearly twice as fast.
I'll try again on the laptop and make sure I don't have other processes running.
What we have seen conclusive proof of tonight is that police are happy to work with or at least to allow fascist mobs to storm the government, while they are willing to maim and kill leftist protesters against police brutality at the slightest signs of provocation.

The fact that a woman was shot by police in last night's protest is a tragedy, as all human life is precious. But a democracy can't bow down to mob rule for fear of violence. The protesters should have never even been allowed to get near the Capitol building while Congress was in session, and in that case perhaps this loss of life could have also been avoided.

Police brutality and the police culture of violence before other solutions is also something that has been discussed in leftist circles the entire year. It is a culture that must be changed, which will surely be a monumental task, if it even is attempted. Still, the alternative is not simply allowing mobs to attack federal institutions with impunity.
For a family that are all on the same server, Nextcloud Talk is also nice and "relatively easy" to set up (and 0 effort when you already use Nextcloud). I am still desperately waiting on Talk being able to use the federation features of Nextcloud (so you can chat to users on other servers). That would increase my usage a lot, my parents are on another server (which admittedly also runs from my basement) and I have colleagues with their own server...

I do use Signal and Telegram with some friends, I really find the difference between WA and Signal to be small. Telegram though is a lot nicer as a platform, it has some channels I'm part of and the desktop client is much better. But this comes with privacy/security trade-offs as mentioned in this thread.

I also use Element.io for some channels and groups. I find it surprisingly nice. I may set up a server myself soon.
OH GOD WHAT IS HUMANITY GOING TO DO IF THE STOCK MARKET GOES OFFLINE!?!?

All you need is a wallet address, which you can put on a USB stick or even print out on a card and store at home.
I have mastered it, but I have not drunk so much Kool-Aid that I have forgotten what it took!

It sure did not take "no time," and much longer than an hour - longer than any other programming language I have attempted. The biggest stumbling blocks were syntactical. For example, there are three ways to declare a variable (let-in, let, and <-) and if you use the wrong one, you get a very unhelpful error message. The learning was not so much new concepts but instead things like how a "not in scope" error means you used a tab instead of spaces.

I completely agree, the underlying concepts are elegant, and powerful and enlightening and quite amazing. But you can understand the concepts perfectly and still not be able to write a line of Haskell. That's where most tutorials fall short.
I wouldn't call it a convincing RFC, but I did recently write an analysis on the subject:

Both. Incremental compilation is possible to an extent, and reggae[0] does it. However, due to the semantics of d imports and templates, compiling a module will require at least cursory parsing and semantic analysis of all the modules it imports. Meaning that for a binary with a single entry point, modifying pretty much any module will require recompilation of the top-level module, which means there's a certain degree of incrementality you can never reach.

When you put on the uniform and wear the badge, you're accepting some additional powers granted to you by society.You're also giving up some freedoms. I think people should generally be allowed to drink, but I don't think cops should be allowed to drink while on duty.

It is important for a society to be able to monitor the enforcers of the government, i.e. the police. To me, it seems pretty reasonable for people to be able to record the actions of the police in public spaces, so long as its not impeding the ability for the officers to correctly do their job.
I believe it’s funded by taxation.

As for the second part, that’s a good question. I haven’t personally seen any UBI/direct payment studies that led to a significant reduction in people working so that question hasn’t yet been studied as far as I’m aware.

If there’s a study that you’ve seen where cash payments to individuals led to a situation where everyone “no longer need to work” and the consequence was a labor shortage, I’d love to read it! That sounds like it’d have to have a pretty large sample size, decently long duration and some top notch analysis to posit a 1:1 “Providing basic housing and quality of life to individuals that may or may not need it” and “No labor is available” ratio.
I've known many people like that. They weren't poor, they just overspent their income. It's common to be middle class and have no money.
Creators are the new entrepreneurs.

And the creator economy is slowly reshaping how businesses need to think about everything from branding to marketing to the future of work itself.

There are so many exciting opportunities in this space, both with established players like Patreon and Teachable, as well as promising startups like Substack, Onlyfans, and Stir to name a few.

So if you're interested in this space and want to get up to speed fast, here are the absolute best resources to check out and thought leaders to follow.
You had respect for Canonical after they put ads in the OS?
> If anyone wants REAL pain, then we should go back to BNF...

Ironically, if one wants to implement a SVG reader they have to use the BNFs provided in the spec (for paths and whatnot).

Though the SVG 1.1 DTD is pretty nice to work with, I've built a SVG DOMish generator for both c++ and python (which takes forever to compile) so one, err...me, doesn't have to deal with all the underlying XML craziness. One of these days I'll get around to finishing the path parser, color parser, transform parser, &etc...
This article didn't really resonate with me at all. For one thing I simply find reading on my phone to be a superior delivery method. I always have my phone, so I can read anywhere, anytime I'm not occupied. I read on the train, waiting in lines, lying on the couch, wherever I want and I don't need to remember to bring anything. I've never owned a Kindle nor particularly wanted one because it seems redundant, I get what I need from the Kindle app on my phone. Ebooks have made reading for me more accessible.

My complaints with books these days are more to do with finding things I like amongst an endless supply of titles and authors that seem to be marketing, rather than quality, generated. I do have trouble finding new things to read that I enjoy, but I don't believe that modern writing is lacking due to some sort of online degradation. The barrier to publishing is just lower so there is more crap to sift through to find the gems, but authors who otherwise wouldn't have a chance at least have the potential to gain a readership.
This is such an important point.

You can't tell people they're irredeemable racists and expect them to vote for you.
Which leaves you seeing phantom lines when you look away from the screen.
If you posted "I built a pixel art reverse image search for OpenGameArt" over in https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/ they'd love it.
I believe the post was sarcasm.
When I want to use cron to run a task more frequently than once per minute, my trick is to have the target program perform the task more than once per invocation. E.g.:

# script start, T=0s
do_something()
for n in range(0, 11):
time.sleep(5)
do_something()
# script end, T=55s
Simplest way to check whether people are looking at the ads is to make them all "skip to video in x seconds" ads, and then monitor for users who machine-gun said Skip button.
>I have always been interested in documentation and its order in the priority list of tasks which a development team has to tackle. It is not an original observation that documentation is critically important to the success of a project/code-base and yet it is often the last artifact produced (and many skip it altogether). I have recently been extremely interested in the idea that documentation should be moved to the top of the priority list and, rather than being a duplicative post-processing step, should be the "ground-truth" for generating lots of the follow on artifacts. For example, write API documentation first and use that to generate client side libraries, an API test suite, and server boiler plate code/skeleton.

I wish people would stop viewing documentation as an additional formal step needed to 'package' the software (a nasty chore) and instead viewed it as an exercise in communicating as clearly and concisely as possible what the project is about and how it works.

The number one thing on my wishlist for any project's documentation is simply a glossary, which is trivial to create but is almost never done. Virtually every project has special terms for artefacts, usage, features, etc. which are burned into developers' skulls so deeply that they often forget that outsiders do not use this special terminology.

It gets worse when multiple terms refer to the same thing and the same terms refer to multiple (often ever so slightly different) things.

No fancy technology needed to write one of these things either. A simple text file will do.

The other thing that bugs me is how much documentation is simply describing code that should exist but doesn't. Scripts to build a project or deploy it, for instance. Or mindless test scripts.

I was a Java developer for about 5 years then switched to iOS/Android since 2011. As a Java developer, most of my work before were for big enterprises, such as internal workflow management tools for banks. As a mobile developer, I have been working on consumer facing apps for both iOS and Android, with nodejs as the backend.

I am hardworking, obsessed about details and learning fast.

And that’s a good case for supporting recursion but eliminating branching! You can goto and rebind to your heart’s content as long as you don’t have to back out of a condition
It's not that it requires GC, but that it is disabled by implicit calls at the end of scope. Scoped destructors aren't only for memory management. They are also widely used for e.g. closing files or sockets, basically anything that you may think of as a resource. Go has the defer statement, which would also disable TCO, even though Go has a GC. You can call just about any function in a defer statement. You can have TCO in a language that has scoped constructors/defer statement and doesn't have a GC. It's just that the things that at first look like tail calls often aren't. But the same thing can be said about operator overloading. TCO will still be in this language, but it will only be applied to tail calls, not calls which the programmer mistakenly believed were tail calls.
Interesting. Nvidia indeed mentions this at https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/inside-pascal/
Careful, or you might end up with a shingled drive with radically worse write performance than you might expect.
{2020 - x} is a single item set. nums & {2020 - x} does set intersection with nums, which restricts nums to either the item that sums with x to 2020 or nothing if there is no such item in nums.
If there were other 6k monitors I'd consider them.

So you're arguing the correct approach is to give everyone pipes that are capable of doing that, but limit the amount of time they're allowed to really work them. None of that makes sense to me, am I missing something here?

A guaranteed not-oversubscribed connection would be a terrible consumer product.
Okay? So they have to actually provide what they advertise, and holding them to it means they have to be honest up front. That doesn't strike me as a bad thing.
My recollection (without references) is that they can do some amount of guess work. They might see the stack says A->C, but can see the code of A actually calls B, so logically it must have been A->B->C at some point.

Or you can use the rr-debugger, and just return back to the exact sequence of calls, and reject the need to pick between optimization and debugging :D
Yep, but I said "totally free", as in no paid plans.
That looks like a sparse tree, but what are the rules about coloring the nodes red or green? What about the special case root (yellow)?
