It reduces anxiety. Say you are slightly unhappy at your current job. On a normal stock plan, you might start feeling that "golden handcuffs are tying me to this company", which makes you feel even worse about your position, and might actually precipitate you leaving.

Now, consider this policy instead. You'd get a feeling of "I could leave if I really wanted to, nothing is tying me to this place". You get a greater feeling of agency, of personal freedom. That relaxes you, and you feel more comfortable staying with the company.
BLM riots were not a direct and realistic threat to the establishment. They are scared.
I stand corrected! For reference, TSMC's 5nm is 173. I almost feel bad for Intel. Almost.
You do know that it's the same person, right? They're both links to articles on her website. There is no "piggybacking", this is literally her writing about making these things.
Do they accept pull requests if I find any bugs?
Yeah, I thought someone used drones to stalk his/her employees and prevent them from being approach by recruiters. Boy that sounded creepy, I think the title should be changed to the article's one: "Air Shepherd Drones Stop Elephant & Rhino Poaching"
Wouldn't it be more precise to day 'or be a subcontractor'?
This is a pretty common argument, I see it a lot when someone suggests forums should let people delete posts. There's always someone saying it makes the forum impossible to read.

Well, if there's one thing we know from 10 years of reddit its that people being able to delete content and usernames completely has negligible impact on readability.

Similarly, with 20 years of experience with ignore lists, I can confidently say that what small amounts of confusion might occasionally be generated from my ignore list being different to yours are well offset by the benefits of us being able to choose who we don't want to interact with.
Thinking back, that documentary did kind of disabuse me of a few notions (like 'having enough money to never need to work = paradise', 'super rich people can't realistically have anything to complain about'). Although I probably would have figured those things out sooner or later. But it was a powerful film I agree. Another insight was when they said they only date their own class because they need someone else who understands their background (ie. not out of snobbishness, but more out of the need to be understood).
I am slightly confused. How can they have use their "hash map of popular passwords" to diff against your table if they do not have the "pepper" used originally for bcrypting the passwords?
At first I was dumbfounded. Like, they cannot be serious.

Then after a little while of looking at it, I thought, well, perhaps it is just crazy enough to work. Definitely thinking outside the box.

Then a bit later in the evening, I was struck by how in the space of a couple hours it had aged in my eyes, and it wasn't aging well. As soon as the 'interesting' wore off, all I can see is how boring the design really is.

By itself, maybe not such a big deal, pickups aren't meant to be exciting. They are successful because of their utility. King of the road, riding high, the modern incarnation of a 70s land yacht, very spacious inside, well appointed, and incidentally able to haul stuff when you want, pull stuff when you want. The very definition of function over form. The opposite of Cybertruck.

I'll wait and see how it plays out, since this is obviously a prototype of a prototype (read MotorTrend's writeup, they had early access and it was still coming together in the last couple weeks). The windows aren't street legal, the bumpers are not street legal, almost certainly the headlights and taillights aren't, etc. A lot of the actual finished product has yet to be designed, so I will withhold judgement until we see what it turns out to be.
I mean they kept it around for 10 years before killing it. They certainly tried.

It's printing physical paper. It's 2019, does it really confuse anyone as to why they would kill a product that prints paper? Even if it was successful in the short term, which it wasn't, it seems very rational to kill Cloud Print from a business perspective in the long term.

The developed world been moving far, far away from print for a while now. I imagine if you look at the graph of overall paper usage, you'll see it going down and to the right for some time into the future until it's near zero. Definitely the wrong business to be in.

It has no long-term prospects.
Why would someone plan important workflows around a BETA product????

I would defensively be more hyperbolic and use a different number, just because 10x is tainted by stupid ideas in programming. But your intent was pretty clear to anyone paying attention... that's just a high bar sometimes.
Is it moral(ethical) to work for Google?
I d say disqus strikes the best balance. You don't have to retype your name on each site, You can be as private as you wish and there are proper discussion threads. They need to work on speed and user interface.

I also comment on blogs that don't require signup

Facebook's comments have the wrong order and are not threaded. Plus there is in them, just like everywhere in Facebook a sense of social competition to view only the most liked/commented post, hiding everything else unger the fold. And disclosing your name / job every time means you have to be careful what u say.
I used to live in Australia, at a time when most .au ISPs did not censor the Internet. However, transparent proxying was fairly common among ISPs anyway, because it saved them money. I suspect that might be what's happening here (though I guess the cost savings are higher when you do it in Australia, because data charges to Australia are ridiculous).

If the ISPs just wanted to implement IWF censorship, they could do it less invasively by using packet inspection.
Well for facebook.com/productname that means a commercial decision - is it worth excluding a (probably) significant portion of the internet from viewing our product's site.
It is actually a feature they removed. In the early days AppEngine had some support for naked domains. I had one.
Be Unlimited is a very good ISP (I use it too) but since it is now owned by O2, though it hasn't been merged, I think it's now much more vulnerable to being forced down any route that the more generic O2 broadband takes.
I don't mind the www., the thing I absolutely hate is sites that require it, but don't put up a 301 on the www-less url.
I think there is a clear correlation between domain squatters and the cost to squat domains. You will see the same thing with patent trolls, they need something that is "reasonably obvious" but not in use at time of patent application. And the higher the cost the fewer such patents will exist covering smaller areas.
Dynamically typed languages are not the best choice when you try to explain algebras that work on the type level I guess.
Oh you can certainly build non-trivial things in the language. It's just you may not be able to use it for a work project (for different reasons). This is what I meant by practical: software that you build at work and that operations will deploy or sales will sell.

There's tons of practical applications built in both Haskell and Erlang: erlang has rabbit mq (I have some criticisms of it, but they're not related to the language it's built in), Haskell has XMonad (the window manager I use on a daily basis). Both are very practical.
Thanks, I'll fix that. I figured if I had miscounted any of them, it would have been the section XIV one.

They should collapse the subsections until you go to them.
If you can find an Entourage Edge 10" on ebay or somewhere, you would probably be set. I had the pocket edge version. These were very solid android dual-screen tablets - an e-ink and lcd display. The e-ink was also a digitizer, so you could use a stylus to take notes.

Sadly, being a hardware company is tough and the product line became unprofitable. The android version ended at 2.3, but it was sufficient to put on several readers. If your books were in a standard format, the built in reader worked fine. There was also community effort to either mirror the screens or force other reader apps onto the e-ink panel.

I'm not here to rag on good cost benefit analysis. Obviously resources are finite and we need to, both individually, and as a species or a moral collective or whatever, make somewhat rational use of the resources.

What I am trying, but apparently failing, to get across, is that optimizing a cost benefit analysis is not the primary mode of human existence. It may be, in some uselessly wide tautological sense, an inevitable aspect of it, but it doesn't characterize the human experience in toto. Most human beings do plenty of things which they don't consciously evaluate in such bloodless terms and, indeed, because there is no universal notion of cost or benefit, its unclear what your imaginary perfect analyzer would be up to in the first place.

Thus, if we are to preserve as valid the vast majority of human activities, we must deny the idea that literally every moment needs to be consciously optimized and embrace the counter-notion: that society be organized in such a way that we can sometimes, perhaps as often as possible, chill the fuck out.
Methanol poisoning, but that's it
The reason I use emacs over vscode is due to the reason, that it does not waste cycle in rendering html, use irc instead of slack and discord, and does one thing very well which is processing and rendering text.

Emacs inspired me to take on and understand functional language. Rust still feels an incremental improvement with memory safety over C.

I believe C is unfairly criticised. C has it’s own drawbacks but it is one of the language which really gave me power to tinker with hardware directly and it was refreshing. Rust may be a great language in design but didn’t generate that feeling of directly able to work with hardware as I had when I used basic peek and poke and later C.

If org-mode, text processing and lisp stays with emacs it will continue to survive for next 40 years. Yes it needs constant evolution but I do not agree with the list like renedering html, working with slack.
I'll be honest, I feel like such a project is a waste of time, in a similar vein to many such "port to Rust" projects. Even the project page itself gives vague and rather suspect motivation for why such a project should exist.

I could appreciate it if there were legitimate architectural concerns that need to be addressed (see, for example, neovim).
The ML model has to use certain operations (which are homomorphic to the encryption) as its building blocks, but with fully homomorphic encryption you can put an arbitrary number of the building blocks together so you can build complex ML models out of those.
That's probably out of the scope right now.
I think the externs file maneuver might be outdated.

Admittedly, I'm using shadow-cljs as my go-to compiler (so I'm not sure what the state of vanilla is), but all I do is yarn add <package>, and then require it in the file where I want to use it, and interact with it as if it were any other library.

Though it is true of shadow-cljs as well that it doesn't try to tree-shake external (non-CLJS/Closure) libs by default, though it will do it for project code and Clojure libraries.
TBH, that's a side effect of "EVERYthing is a webpage, because that's the way it is!" Of course a map application is SLOOOOOOW when forced to go through all the intermediate steps to resemble a web page. Mapping apps that forgo this convention are snappy; but no: a chat client is a web browser, a map client is a web browser, the "show me two lines of text" notification bar is a God-damned webbrowser.
And a lot of people, including me, would love to go there and work on cheap desalinization if we didn't have the certainty that our lives would be at risk, and our work would stand a very high chance of being expropriated by a number of predatory competing quasi-governments in case it does work.

I think their priority right now is to not fall so far behind Chrome that catching up becomes a serious challenge.
I don't think you're understanding the essence of the problem. It's not that they don't know how to count words, it's that the actual limit they are trying to enforce is an x,y bounding box on the page. At the end of the day, this application has to print out on a specified number of pages, in a specified format.

If your limit is x,y space, then any "x number of words" limit will, by definition, not match up to reality some fraction of the time.

One thing that they could do is switch to a monospace font for the text box, then at least they could specify a fixed number of characters. Now that I think about it, that wouldn't necessarily work either, because of word wrapping.

The best case would probably be to tweak the font size to allow a fixed number of words to fit in the box.
I can try it, if you'd like. I haven't looked at the exercise at all, so it would be fair. I'd rather do the exercise in Scala though... So if anyone wants to benchmark that I can do it instead :)
I guess the more important question is if my position can be justified legally, not if claims/threats are going to be made against me.
For those along the lines of "History of Rome," I would recommend Dan Carlin's Hardcore History (which has a 3 part series on the Fall of the Roman Empire (which goes back several hundred years). He also has a 4 part series on the Eastern Front of WWII, "Toughness" in generations in History, and many other interesting podcasts.

He is very engaging and informed (he was / is an investigative journalist and a history buff, taking from multiple sources and citing biases or clashes with alternative sources.)

He has a separate podcast "Common Sense" for politics.

Have you seen Batman (the Chris Nolan movie)? It's pretty frickin' awesome. You've got incredible special effects, great script, multiple takes, amazing actors, and great sound and it's very engaging. ... If instead of having movies- say we're going to have that script performed by the local town troupe. So in every small town in America (if movies didn't exist), they would have to then recreate The Dark Knight. You know, with home-sewn costumes and jumping across the stage and not getting their lines quite right, and not really looking like the people in the movie, and no special effects or anything. That would suck! It would be terrible. That's education.

-- Elon Musk (chatting with Sal Khan)[1]

I think there's a ton of improvement to be had in the education space. People have used technology to make many forms of entertainment more compelling, but education is pretty similar to half a century ago: classrooms, teachers, lectures, etc. A lot of the stagnation is due to bureaucratic and legislative inertia, which isn't such a big problem in countries lacking widespread public schooling.

With regards to cost and bandwidth issues: Remember, Gates's predictions/goals are for the next 15 years. Technology is only going to get cheaper and faster. In 2000, iPods didn't exist. In 2030, even low-end tablets will put current hardware to shame.

It's true that parallel IO has less overhead with an asynchronous API, but I disagree about it being easier to understand. You have to set up callbacks or start your processes and then wait, and you have to work harder to manage the degree of parallelism.

If parallel IO was all we needed to do, asynchronous APIs would be the sensible choice, but for managing parallelism while chaining IO & CPU work, sharing pools across multiple simultaneous requests, Claypoole's a pretty nice tool.
Pretty good, you can even access local python libraries for direct use in your db functions. Only negative is that you have to re-compile your functions to update the library references.
100% Agree.

Most informational books are packed with examples and context. Sometimes you need that stuff, but other times you can get 90% of the information you need just by reading the introduction, table of contents, and chapter conclusions.

I think it's important to understand your motivations for reading, and then choose a method that best fits your intended goals.

Reading is like eating — sometimes you want to savor a book and other times you want to grab and go.
Curious as to your opinion on Evil from Emacs - I've been learning Evil without knowing Vim first, so I don't know what I might be missing.
There's a lot one could learn about problems with various institutions involved in public education from Escalante's story, but this probably isn't a strong example of unions run amok.

It's generally accepted that smaller class sizes help with educational outcomes (as well as teacher morale/quality of life), so it's not only understandable that there would be some agreed-on class size limit, it's arguably professional.

From the accounts I've read, the class size limit was pretty far from the most significant tension involved. Local Garfield administration and politics seem to have been. The principal under which Escalante's program flourished (Henry Gradillas) was a big contributor to the success, but even so, he wasn't invited back after a sabbatical, and it's reasonable to speculate that he'd run afoul of the community which employed him when he'd prioritized academics over athletics. Later principals weren't anywhere near as supportive.

There was also the professional jealousy that came with Escalante's hollywood fame. You can argue that's petty, but I hope anyone who'd do so from the software world is equally circumspect about any kind of professional jealousy when it comes to the success of approaches you don't subscribe to in the software world.

So, yeah. Unions as The Devil is one easy narrative, but it doesn't sit comfortably with the details of the story I'm familiar with.
They mention it being composed as a cluster of blades with "Numalink 6 interconnect", so I'd guess "pretty bad" if you're hitting non-local RAM. You'll definitely be rewriting your programs to deal with the quasi-distributed aspect.

There are actually a number of options if you're willing to do that kind of architecture, but I haven't seen anything with >2tb of RAM on a single motherboard. Even those are pretty strongly NUMA between sockets.
I'm pretty sure memristors fell out of favor not long after being announced. I haven't heard anything about the technology lately.

> Its also incredibly arrogant and anthrocentric to think that our galaxy is one of the "good ones" for space travel.

Where did you get that out of the article? There was no comparison to other galaxies. It appears as though the exercise was performed for the Milky Way because of the detailed information available on its potential (and based on the assumption that this maps to dark matter). Presumably similar results would apply to other galaxies, since the shape of dark matter halos seem—from cosmological simulations—to be fairly universal. But I never got out of the article that the authors suggested the Milky Way was somehow "special", compared to other galaixes. In fact, if you look at the abstract from the preprint[0] it concludes with "thereby confirming the possible existence of wormholes in most of the spiral galaxies." So they explicitly state that this result would apply to a large number of galaxies.

Carriers can indeed expose APIs for banks and other third-parties to check if a SIM has recently been reissued, but that's a separate problem from spoofing.
I'm absolutely no expert on this, but I think your provider would usually filter this spoofing attempt out, just like with IP spoofing. But if you're in the right spot in the network (e.g. your provider doesn't check for spoofing or you're your own "provider") you can do whatever you want.

Another problem with Android could be that the operating system might not have enough control over the SIM-Card/Modem to spoof phone numbers.

I have heard about people using some services to send/call from spoofed numbers though
