You need to know Japanese, streamlined beauty standards, you need to work crazy hours and it looks bad if you have switched companies in the past.

Get past these problems and non-japanese start to love it. They are not as racist as many people make them out to be, most are just extremely frustrated that english and being chubby isn't enough to be accepted.
> There's been growth; it's just all gone to the very wealthy in the West.

Wrong. According to ourworldindata.org the world population in extreme poverty fell by half since 1990. I'm sure there are other sources to match this data as well.

But that doesn't fit your narrative.
More importantly, the wider wheelbase will be important for towing. Long, tall trailers (like RV's, or long cargo trailers) get a lot of wind force, and on smaller tow vehicles (SUV's and smaller trucks) you can get in a very dangerous situation where the tail wags the dog. For a similar reason, the heavier weight of the Tesla truck will help at stability when towing.
All fine and well but at the end of the day I've tried to convert real world (non SV) companies and issues like people finding a 10yo macro that won't work on libreoffice is just too much in the cost column to outweigh the benefit of paying for MS office.
>> Americans would starve and die of exposure [in America] on [Bangladeshi] wages.

> No, they wouldn’t.... [Americans] would simply have to adjust their lifestyle to look more like the one of Bangladeshi

I appreciate your honesty, but listen to what you're saying. No one "simply" accepts massive regressions in living standards across large swaths of the economy, and that's exactly what you'd need for Bangladeshi wages to be livable in the US. That kind of thing leads to revolutions, and rightly so.
California is a socialist cabal and other news at 11...
Because it would have been as difficult to update software to use the halfway solution, and then we'd all have to migrate again from that to "real" IPv6.
Awesome. Please create it for Jetbrains IntelliJ platform. Software tools are trending, you can charge money for it. I'd like to use VSCode but Webstorm is just so much more ahead. Most people and companies (who use them) already pay for Jetbrain tools.
> I know there's not strong evidence that cloth masks stop infection

I feel like that answers your question. They're more useful if you think you're already infected and want to avoid spreading it by breathing/coughing/sneezing on people. You're right in the sense that it's probably reasonable to assume you're already infected (regardless of whether or not you're showing symptoms), but humans are notoriously irrational about these sorts of things, caring more about "I hope I don't get sick" than "I hope I don't get random people sick".

Combine that with them having been one of the first things sold out in most stores (alongside hand sanitizer and toilet paper) and it shouldn't be especially surprising that people elect to go without.
I use letterboxd.com to keep track of movies I want to watch. Works fine for me, though I'm not sure how easily you can get it to auto-import.
No, mention of NetHack.
Thanks for the idea! Seems like a lot of people are finding it useful :)
Core is the only implementation anyone really cares about, a hard fork can do arbitrary things, the problem is people need to use it, and they aren't using bitcoin cash.

The actual bitcoin people care about has massive transaction fees (sometimes peaking above $20+), its nearly unusable as a currency.
It is worth keeping in mind, that in particular in the 1990s, many "computer" and "IT" teachers were just other types of teachers who happened to have been roped into it.

So to say they knew nothing about computing would be an understatement. Many of them literally only knew what was in the course material and nothing else. Yet they were the school's "expert."

If a kid broke a computer, everyone was screwed. The teacher couldn't fix it. And they would have to get in an outside company, like RM, or HP to fix it. That could take weeks.

This should go some way of explaining the mentality of these teachers. They were always living on borrowed time and knew they didn't know anything. A single bad incident would reveal all. That's why you get so many stories like this, it is also why it was unlikely that a teacher would be able to create a fun project for such a student (because they didn't know anything!).

Things have changed a lot since then. Not only are teachers technically better, but security is better, and technical support infrastructure is better defined (i.e. schools actually have an "IT guy" even if they're working for a third party).
I've never worked in an open floor plan with more that like 100 people. But I seem to recall only being bothered by people within a few cube sections from me in any direction. I would imagine that at some point the rest of the people in the "room" are far enough away that it doesn't really matter.
The problem is that the poor reporting does have an effect. Such as my partner's sister deciding not to get an Apple Watch because it needs to be charged multiple times a day. Or my parents refusing to use Apple Pay because their details can apparently be stolen. Or people disabling Touch ID because it can be broken into. Or people disabling iCloud backups because of some privacy article they read (and then losing all of their photos of their children). Or, frankly, people staying on a crappy Windows laptop because they read something about Apple's software quality declining.

I don't care about Apple's bank balance or stock price. But as someone who loves tech, and thinks that tech can improve people's day-to-day lives, I want my family and friends to make informed decisions about which tech to buy and whether it'll help them. Not worrying that their Apple Watch will give them cancer.
I love the idea of an e-ink monitor. This would be a great performance display for a headless server. Weather and news display connected to an arduino? Low power systems that expend just enough power to display some information then shutdown while allowing the display to retain its static display?

It might not be the most versatile of displays but use of this should really be in the "right tool for the right job" mindset.
> In all honesty, tech probably is "digging the grace", so to speak. The blurb I mention from the article goes on to illustrate how an expensive vacation, shared via photo streams and status updates on social media, is probably displacing the "Check out this jewelry I got! U jelly?"-type of conspicuous consumption people used to partake in.

I noticed that you called that out in another comment. Fully agree. Status is never going to disappear, just change forms. Kudos!
This kind of becomes a name game, what is truly "FP". For many, FP is meaningfully defined as a focus on functions and it's silly to try to define that away.

There is something, "ML-alike FP" or, even, "Haskell-alike FP" which I might call "pure FP" which is what you say. This is less difficult to see as being centralized on purity more than "FP" at large. Presumably, you could have "pure" OO, classes and all, by eschewing effects just the same.

I have at least one bet in the pot that you cannot, though. I think the true beating heart of "pure FP"/"Haskell-alike FP" is the centricity of composition as a guiding design of language. This comes directly from some of the category theoretic heritage of the core languages here. Once you're here, the primality of functions themselves is hard to escape from. You can go a ways without HOFs, but the lack of richness of composition which you're stuck with is very painful. BiCCCs are a very sweet spot.
looked through the first few entries and it seems like a very nice step-by-step writeup. Makes me want to build one as well.

I really shouldn't add another thing to the giant stack of projects I have around though... (especially since I tend to treat it as a stack instead of a FIFO, so it "somehow" doesn't ever get smaller)
It looks like it's not running yet. I'm getting a Heroku "No such app" 404.

No, what he's saying is "we don't have to" ("strictly speaking").

Not that I agree, but it's not like he said the same thing in another way. He tried to make a distinction between having as ("we must") vs ("society makes us").
Overall I agree, but I actually quite like the ending of the series. I've read lots of folks online who absolutely hated what ultimately happens to Roland - I thought it was a cool ending which was very much in keeping with the sort of "cosmic cycles" theme of the books. That said, there is a _lot_ of junk in those final three books, and the seventh one in particular drops the ball in several disappointing ways before it ends.
SELECT * is quicker to transmit as a query, contains less tokens to parse, requires no lookups to column metadata to map from stored data structure to result structure... I’m pretty sure there must be some circumstances where it outperforms an explicit SELECT a, b, c query.
You make a good point re: states vs processes being more difficult. But on the other hand, I work with a team of marketers who set up fairly complex processes for dealing with inbound leads with no code marketing tools, so I don’t think it’s as far off as you think.

Just because your particular niche has certain complexities that make it more resistant to visual representation with current methods, doesn’t mean we throw out the whole no code movement.

After 20+ years of various companies trying to create a good no-code tool for html/css (eg dreamweaver, frontpage, etc), Webflow finally solved it IMO. So it can take a long time.

But I see no reason why this won’t travel further down the software stack eventually. And we shouldn’t be afraid of it like it’s a threat to us.
I'd think it's the difference between cooling 30F (100->70) vs heating 60F (10->70)
I find it inexcusable that moderna and pfizer decided to not test for asymptomatic at all, instead focusing on the subjective criterion of being symptomatic
He has his own emacs clone named QEmacs[1] which I think he uses personally. He uses Subversion as his version control system (at least in developing QuickJS) according to this post[2] by him in quickjs-devel mailing list.

There is no obligation to give your VAT number.

But many do because you have a tiny chance to win a lottery. Yes, they do it even for one coffee (0.70 euro...).

I do not understand why there is still no system to easily transfer that fiscal number. For example with a qrcode or RFID. You pay electronically with card, often only by just touching your card, phone or even watch, but then have to give a memorized 9 digit number which the deskperson has to type correctly.
Terry Pratchett's Discworld books, particularly:

"Mort" and "Reaper Man"; "Guards! Guards!", "Men at Arms", and "The Night Watch"; "Wyrd Sisters", "Witches Abroad" and "Lords and Ladies"; and "Small Gods" and "Pyramids".

The first two are about Death, the second three about Samuel Vimes, the third group about Granny Weatherwax, and the last two are stand-alones. All the books are worth reading, but those are some of the most engaging and compelling, and they teach skepticism, humanity, kindness, courage and absurdity in equal measures.
Smart display turned out to be Stupid. Isn't that ironic?
What happens to the seized bitcoins?
This is not usually true. Memory compression prioritizes speed not compression ratio so even something like a bitmap from a JPEG source is not likely to be very compressed. Freeing the buffer is still a net win.

Further the pages themselves (for a large allocation) don't all get touched when freed so the kernel can skip decompressing them.

Measure the behavior of your application. Most of the time freeing cached values is the correct response to memory pressure, or use things like NSCache that handle it for you.

Ah yes, the world of everyone using a bespoke framework that almost always gets rewritten once the original programmer leaves a company is obviously the way forward!

Apple must explain what it is doing here, otherwise high performance programming becomes like a cargo cult.
Hey, do you have any more info about your distro/chrome version? I am running PopOS 21.10 with chrome 96.0.4664.93 and everything looks normal here. We are working with the designers to fix the ResizeObserver issue, but can't seem to recreate this one.

Thanks!
The TL;DR: the old 4096-bit LSFR generator has been replaced by BLAKE2 (one of the SHA3 finalists)

A modern crypto-function will perform better on modern computers, because modern crypto-functions were designed with modern computers in mind.
for $199, you'd think Nova would be mobile friendly. Maybe this has changed? When we tried it last year, we were quite shocked it had no responsive design support.
I did read it, just thought it sounded a bit pretentious without actually making a strong point. Kind of reminded me of reading reviews for high end audiophile equipment.
I really loved this bit, a great summation of the classic conflict between man and mechanization:

> At the time, Stanford was far from the risk-taking institution it is lauded as today — and its music program was especially traditional and rigid. As Chowning had experienced in France, most of his college colleagues scoffed at the unfamiliar, foreign concepts of computer music.

“It was against what the department said music was; they said I was dehumanizing music!” laughs Chowning. “My response was, ‘Perhaps it’s the humanization of computers.’”

After all that disenfranchisement from his own program, that Chowning gracefully took up Stanford's belated offer of tenure instead of a massively more profitable industry career says a lot about his patience and ego.

Local media reports that the physical connections got severed due to unexpected pressure on the vehicle. How could that have been covered in a unit test?
I would say if your startup is not in one of the current 'hot' spaces like private shopping, group buying, etc. and can wait then definitely travel around the world, but travel with a entrepreneur perspective, dont just spend your money on the beaches drinking expensive cocktails :)
travel the countries, watch their economy, local business models. I thinks most of the travel destinations are current emerging economies. Think about how technology can facilitate the developments in those markets. Face the realities. Talk to people from the industry your startup is aiming at in those countries. Note everything, think about if your idea is applicable in those markets. How will you expand if you decide to go global. Think big.
After travel I think you will have a more solid and healthier business idea with global perspective.
Bootstrap is one of the few code projects where the releases still get me excited. It's personally saved me hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars in dev costs.
> I'm returning to the academy because the tech landscape is filled with scam artists,

...then I have some very bad news.

If you're doing a PhD, good luck and enjoy it - I think there's value in a PhD, still, despite the flawed system.

If you're doing research or going on to do research, then I hope you can find a niche full of scientists and not politicians. Those niches are hard to find.
> You have envies, jealousy , corruption,treason, sex, desires , power and complex social dynamics

Of course there's that but more importantly, you'll have those who consider the facts honestly and those who misinterpret or deny them for their own profit.

> machines [...] always do what are told to do millions of times without deviating an inch

Off topic, but that's a grave misconception: machines do fail and sometimes in non obvious ways

> The moment you put more than three people in a room you have politics.

You seem to follow the line that people with diverging opinions cannot agree on facts. That's not true (for an example, read the article till the footnote), and IMO that's a dangerous, antisocial idea.

Of course agreeing on facts (and sometimes agreeing the facts are not well known) is only one thing. That does not make people agree on the solution.
That time will never come. Do you think that Google will pay all 100 core developers who actually built the language retroactively?

No, it's a power grab, because full time developers plowing through the code base and working on minor issues crowd out the actual IP creators and make them leave.

Expect a dull, boring corporate controlled maintenance age where one or two people do mundane work and directors of various foundations and groups take the credit.
Not sure why your response was killed, just vouched for it.

You’re right that it takes muscle memory and time to learn, but in reality it’s not that long. Layers take maybe a day or two to get used to and then you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them!

Seriously, give QMK and layers a shot. You will probably find it much easier to get used to than you think!
Incidentally the GoComics series starts from 1985/11/18 https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1985/11/18

and runs to 1995/12/31 https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1995/12/31

and then loops back to the start. To convert today date in GoComics to the original subtract 10955 days. I wasted quite a lot of time figuring that.
Good lord. The logic twists here are crazy.

Anyways - in developing countries models along these lines are already being used - there are no or limited credit scores and identity issues can be big. So people are already getting financing as a result of this evil - usually microfinance
Why is this a published paper? Someone should write a web service that renders stackoverflow posts in latex so that colleagues think I’m researching something complicated.

Maybe less readable than I remembered, sorry! But these `CartesianIndex` things are how you index multi-dimensional arrays.

If by indexing you only mean adding offsets to pointers with your bare hands, this is possible but discouraged. Because you'll produce a buggier and less general version of exactly what already exists. In this case, reversing an N-dimensional array, along any M of its axes, with arbitrary offsets -- there are a lot of ways to get that wrong.
Looks neat.. Mind throwing some light on the backend and technologies (db, framework) you used? I must say that it is really well designed.
The argument that bothers me is "Better Software". Sure, the leading software platform in the world will definitely have better software, since there'd be more developers working on it. Feels like begging the question to me.

You might as well replace "Linux" with "Web Apps" and get a similar picture. I'd argue we're closer to this world than an all-Linux one.
Seems like a much better solution would be to set a light-colored background color to the element which has the background image.
Love this little app. I think its ok because he only uses images with Free to Share licenses and then attributes the work to the original photographer.

I would be surprised if the said 100k-1M LOC programs would not be decomposable eventually into 100-1000 line subunits. The "faster" aspect might be overrated, but in a concise language the 1M-LOC might be reduced significantly or might be more manageable.
And that is a very healthy precaution. I really do not want to lose that security.
Offhand, I’d have to say the amount of bad/good software is similar to what exists commercially. The difference is that a lot of commercial software is either enterprise and hidden, or so obscure nobody cares.

“Better” often refers to better designed, however, and a lot of OSS projects are actively hostile to any one creative vision that would shape the interface.
I could say something about "context," but you've already decided that I'm a moron not worth talking to, so it seems pointless.
Personally they've has helped with the automated messages my team's software pushes into project management system because they visually represent what type of message was pushed.

Seems like it's doing the same thing here, I kind of hope to see more of it!
I might be wrong, but I think the word you meant by "wholesome" is actually "holistic"
The risk with making your product mostly a fashion statement is that you may appeal to too few people or to many people but not enough for them to fork over $45K for the limited utility. Unlike the Raptor, the Cybertruck has no machismo. This truck will sell only if enough people are willing to buy into its singular sense of style way over its utility. That's a bold bet.

A more-useless-than-average truck (no bed capacity; a back seat w/ headroom for children only; difficulty refueling or getting repairs in the backcountry; very high center of gravity) will have limited appeal aside from the novelty from being the first to own one. But that will fade within year one of ownership. Then where will non-pickup owners find themselves? With an especially fashion-motivated vehicle that's no longer fashionable. Or useful. Strike three.
No, because a lot of the savings that door-to-door delivery supposedly achieves, I can achieve by simply optimizing for time.

I drop off my kid at Main Street for dance. I pick up my laundry and drop off my USPS in the same plaza

I continue on to Costco, and if gas (I take whichever car is lowest on gas).

Costco has everything you could typically need, but on the way back there are very many stores I can stop at.

Pick up the kid, eat lunch at Main Street.

The whole circuit, round trip is 16mi, but I've done things I would have done anyways, COSTCO adding only 8 mi, but saving me (usually) having to go do groceries. So let's say an extra 4 mi.

Also, my car is far lighter than a utility van, not driving door-to-door so my mpg are much better. Double? So my Costco run is a 2 mi. equivalent.

But at Costco (and Target next door) I can get everything in one big shot. W/ Amazon I'll get very many deliverables.

Frankly, I just don't think it's that obvious picking stuff up myself isn't better.
If something is both immaturely "cool", and immensely practical/ecofriendly/a good choice, we can all fulfill our childhood dreams while being responsible adults. Fart mode in the Tesla is a good example. Hilarious, stupid, and in some of the best and eco-friendliest cars ever.
I disagree. Winters can get very cold here in Austin. Also is impossible to get around without a car even if you live downtown. Is not a walkable city.
If you're gonna beat a dead horse at least get the motto right. It was "Don't be evil" not "Do no evil"
Right, for me the default in a tiling WM has always been one fullscreen pane, which I can split on those occasional situations where I want to see more than one window at a time. Exactly the same as how I use screen or vim (which I use splits in far more often than my WM). If I'm not using a window right now I don't need or want to see it.
I think you'd have to be more specific than "exercise" as heavy resistance training activates mTor and not AMPK. If memory serves they are mutually exclusive and cannot be activated simultaneously. Low intensity exercise, such as walking and easy running stimulates AMPK - as does extended fasting.
Isn't M2 potentially the first 3nm process to be released?
