You are pushing it. 1000 words is 10 bits of entropy per randomly chosen word. 70 bits of entropy is probably crackable by a government agency.

Edit: I checked and unless I mixed some zeroes somewhere it looks like the current bitcoin hash rate of 200 million TH/s can crack 92 bits within a year. log (200,000,000,000,000,000,000*3600*24*365) / log 2 = 92.35
I am in the gov't contracting world, and let's just say I'm not impressed with the "stringency" of FedRamp controls or evaluation.

Plus, as noted, Zoom has lied repeatedly about what they do, how they do it, where their data goes, etc., and every time has somehow escaped any real repercussions. They are not trustworthy, regardless of certification.

While having options and competition is good, I have to wonder if all of these companies (Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc) building every type of product in their own flavor is in vain. I would rather Microsoft focus on making the next iteration of Windows more developer friendly and attractive as a technical platform.
Do you actually have data on this, or is this completely anecdotal?
Your logic needs to be tweaked, I'm not a part of any voting ring or whatever.
I think programming might help you write very prose pieces, but there is still a lot more to literature that remains very artistic.
I think anything is possible for the right person, but historically we prefer onboarding to happen in person for a bit.
Why would a generalist be wiser than somebody who is able to go into depth and understand the ugly details of a project? That is what the T-shaped thinking is about.

Elon Musk is a great example who is able to answer deep technical questions on many subjects, and I think he needs people who understand their own project deeply, not ,,short fat'' engineers.
One of the best articles I've read in a long time.
I wonder if the lot of us should compare notes.

Say I put my fingers on the home row, and don't think about them, relax. When everything is settled, I lock my fingers, pick my hands up, flip them over and look at my finger tips and base knuckles, the tips are at about a 25° angle. There is no 'bunching up'.

Hitting the enter key: 2 options for me. 1) pick my whole hand up, shift it over about one key, twist my wrist a couple of degrees, and then drop my hand vertically to hit enter. 2) lift my hand very slightly, move it down and to the right from the elbow, as if I'm trying to strike the enter key with the knife-edge of my hand, except that the pinky is extended. So my pinky hits the enter key at a 40° angle and slides across it until the click registers.

The enter key often comes between thoughts. I doubt I even notice the extra 20 ms it probably takes to hit enter and the next key.
USD - You mine USD coins by exchanging goods or services, or by prostituting your time. But the coin is centralised and the governing authority is constantly adding supply.
The Julia approach gives quicker development. Some of these ML libraries such as Flux are so small that almost anyone can read the code and learn how it works and make modifications. It is not for anyone to jump into TensorFlow.

The irony here is that tiny Julia libraries give the same power as much larger Python libraries which require highly specialized and trained developers to evolve and maintain.

With Julia it is much easier to grow the eco system because you can make lots of relatively small packages which can then be combined in almost any way.

The challenge for the Julia community today is really to make people new to the environment aware of this.

I have encountered people who thought Flux couldn't do anything because it was so small. He was so used to the huge monolithic libraries in Python, that it did not occur to him that adding something like an new activation function is literally one line of code. He is used to that requiring adding various C++ nodes. Wrap those up and God knows what more steps you need when you extend something like TensorFlow.

I don't think most people realize how powerful Julia is. They are not used to being able to combine libraries the way you can do in Julia. A big part of the effort for the Julia community will simply be to write more tutorial and introduction which better introduce beginners to these kinds of capabilities. Once you know Julia it is pretty obvious.

But grab people's attention and make them realize Julia could be a solution to their problem, I think one needs a lot of sort of shallow and quick intros to these kinds of things.
This still restricts you from getting many of the jobs that require narrow specialization. Specializing on the fly only works to a certain extent and only if you get the opportunity to do so in the first place.
I recently had to decide between using Canvas or SVG on a project involving animation in the browser. I wanted to use a reactive framework (VueJS to be specific) and went with SVG for that reason. Pieces of the overall image are stored as Vue components. Animations become as simple as vue bindings in an element. A comparative Canvas build out would have been considerably more complex making it more difficult to manage. The trade off was performance loss. You can only manipulate so many pieces of an SVG before you get a drop in framerate. But, for my project, the reduction in code complexity seemed worth it.
Although highly dependent on the game itself, I did some investigation back in 2008 into testing various Elo modifications on a pretty large dataset of individual players when playing in a 5v5 team game, and geometric mean of individual ratings was the best simple predictor for which team would win (the update method was essentially 10 individual matchups of each player vs the aggregate rating of the enemy team).
well as said 28 commits, NOT ALL were code. MOST of them were basically "fix build"/update dep. so basically the project did not change for over a year.

AND 2019 wasn't really better. 3.3.2 (3.3.3 was mid 2020) was in JUNE 2019 and 3.3.0 was at the beginning of 2019. there won't be a 3.4 anytime soon, if nobody steps up and starts maintaining it, there won't be a 3.4 at all.

Disclosure: Previously worked for an industrial automation integrator and currently work for a robotics startup.

Weird paper. Reads like a survey of the state of the art from a decade+ ago. Many of the things mentioned are already mature areas of focus for startups and major players in the industrial robotics space. Many startups are working on the portability, ease-of-integration, and ease-of-use problems [0][1]. Cloud-oriented tools tailored to robot, line, and facility level health-and-status monitoring (even beyond the capabilities typically provided by SCADA systems) have been available to buy from major players for a long time [2]. I know Big 3 automakers have been toying around with integrating collaborative robots for years (and another OP already mentioned Rethink). Simulation tools run a pretty wide range of usefulness and market penetration, from first-party tools like ABB's RobotStudio or Fanuc's ROBOGUIDE to tools in the ROS stack to Nvidia's ISAAC simulator [3].

To be fair, I only scanned it but I did not detect the hints of anything useful except for those who are entirely unfamiliar with the industrial manufacturing and robotics space.

I'm sure it's not optimal. But it's worked for Facebook very well so far. Why would they change? They don't need every talented developer under the sun. They just need a large group of developers who can do the work, and a small group of developers who can push the envelope on the most cutting edge stuff.
I'm digging the idea of spacial audio, but for my 2 cents I do not enjoy the interface. It seems to encourage a lot of loud geocities/MySpace-era visuals.

I'd be interested in a top-down 2D space (like a million games, but just for example: Among Us) with spatial audio. That'd be pretty interesting.

Judging by what my kids like to play, I could see a place in the market for a 2D virtual world with this kind of feature. Create your own spaces, "decorate" them, plus spatial audio. That sounds like a winning combo.
You're right, my phrasing was poor. Those of us that have had experiences leading us to value this idea will discuss it with others, to put it simply.
Yes almost certainly more than the word will be read but it varies by architecture. I would think almost by definition no less than a word can be read so I went with that in my explanation.
This would be a lot more useful if any of those things were in the store. Our stores here in Las Vegas are constantly being stripped. My mom said she had gone to go pickup some milk for my nieces and had two quarts that she could find and even then people were complaining about her "taking so much" and one lady tried to take one. It's hard to find places that have stuff. When you do, it weird stuff that you just have to use because there is nothing else.
>Surgical masks aren't about protecting the wearer from everyone else, they're about protecting everyone else from the wearer [1]. They may provide the wearer some protection, but that's not really the point.

I think you're confusing the normal use for these masks with what they are actually capable of doing. Yes, in a surgical setting the masks are worn primarily to protect the patient from the surgeon, but the masks do work both ways. Here's a citation from an infectious disease specialist:

https://www.health.com/condition/cold-flu-sinus/surgical-mas...

>“Yes, a surgical mask can help prevent the flu,” Sherif Mossad, MD, an infectious disease specialist at the Cleveland Clinic, tells Health. “Flu is carried in air droplets, so a mask would mechanically prevent the flu virus from reaching other people.” It would work both ways, says Dr. Mossad, preventing transmission of the flu virus to others and for keeping a mask-wearer from picking up an infection.

Being able to tell when you are frustrated is such a powerful tool. Doing literally anything else will be more productive in and of itself, but it also opens the window to let a little diffuse thinking sneak in.

How many times have you done an hour worth of work one morning to untangle a mess you made the previous afternoon? Diffuse thinking saved you. Invite it in.
As Noah Harari eloquently puts it... the seeds of nationalism that have been sewn in the last few years make this very unlikely.

Power dynamics are fluid. Oil and coal have a lot of power because they have a lot of money and a lot of employees and doing something that would completely destroy them -- which is necessary to save everybody else -- would require a countervailing amount of political capital on the other side.

But you start off with a dividend that would end up paying out more to the majority of voters than it would cost them to fund (because a significant fraction of the money would come from corporations and foreign oil interests), and that gets you a lot of support. Then you get all the companies that profit from the transition because they get to sell solar panels and electric heat pumps and stuff. Then you get all the people who are paying attention and notice that even if their current carbon footprint is above average, they could buy an electric car and switch to electric heat right away and still end up with a net profit from the dividend (which is still coming in large part from corporations and foreign oil).

You add up all those people and it's basically the whole country lined up against the oil and coal industries. It's the kind of coalition that can get a bill passed -- but only if people care enough to demand it. Majorities get screwed over left and right when they can't be bothered to organize.

The boundary of time to work on it doesn't have to be so set in stone. Most decent startups would take more than just 1 clear-cut month of coding. Just keep working at it, and working at it. It's the tenacity that's important in the long run.
I think you're talking about H.O.R.S.E... the game of basketball includes something called defense, which generally calls on productive offenses to be faster / stronger / taller.

Patience.
Yes, these are details that every new company must attend to. I will accomplish these in the coming months. Let me answer a couple of your questions:

1. I'm doing this to make money. I also want the satisfaction of creating something of value to folks all over the world. It's high-time that our software back itself up automatically.

2. When a customer uploads a file to RestBackup, their account is billed for the cost of storing the file for the full retention period. If they don't pay their bill, their account will be deactivated, but their paid data will be kept. Unpaid data will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

3. I will choose a lawyer this month to iron out the terms of service. Incorporation will occur before the paid Beta-test program begins.

There's an even more important question: Am I building the right product? I need early adopters to help answer this question. Thanks for your feedback and I hope to see you in the RestBackup alpha test!
Scripting languages on any platform are a great answer. PyQt is even a good answer on Linux. They don't establish an "expected" standard, though. If you're developing on Windows, you need a pretty good excuse to use "unsafe" code. On Linux and OSX, people use manual memory management without realizing they've shouldered an unnecessary burden. It's the default.
Why would anyone who loves what they do stop trying to be more productive? When I say more productive I mean I want to read more, have more conversations, identify and solve more problems, write more papers. Taking a day to 'relax overall' is the least appealing thing I can think of at this moment.
I'd imagine Boston is a bit more expensive in general than the 'burgh, no? But still, yeah, I'm sure it's not 4x.

Absolutely. That's the hard part. ;)
The reals are not Well-Ordered under the usual ordering, and they arenot Well Ordered at all. Certainly if you create a Well Ordering of the reals then it's not the usual ordering.

And you are free to work with your own intuition, but it's very, very likely that your intuition will be inconsistent with other axioms that you accept to be true. Once you have worked with them enough there is nothing bizarre about every two reals having coutnably many rationals between them, and every two rationals having uncountably many reals between them.

I just think that if I have "almost all" of the stuff,
you shouldn't be able to have an infinite amount of
stuff between every given two pieces of my stuff!

This strikes me as very strange. If the rationals (or algebraics) are countable, then "almost all" of the reals are not rationals. Why should it not be that between any two transcendentals (of which there are uncountably many) there are "a few" (by which I mean only countably many) rationals?

I think the point to make is that for centuries, perhaps millennia, people grappled unsuccessfully with the ideas of infinite cardinalities. Many, many mistakes were made, and finally there is now a coherent, consistent way of working with them. To say they don't match your intuition is simply to say that your intuition is at odds with the centuries of work done by people who devoted their lives to working on it.

In short, you are welcome to your intuitions, but I suspect they are hindering you substantially from understanding things better. You can develop better intuition by working with these ideas "properly." But that's harder than just saying "My intuition doesn't agree with what the mathematicians say."

I'm not sure I understand. What do you mean detailed more common CDNs? If a given CDN does not support gzipping, just read the article inserting your CDN in place of "Amazon CloudFront". If the CDN does support gzipping, then this solution is unneeded, as you can just use that CDN normally.
Researched the top companies all over the US and then researched how the top people in the industry present themselves and what their portfolios look like. There's a lot of random browsing involved in that, but also just knowing who's good by having followed the industry over time. Job boards are also a good starting point.

Then I built the best portfolio site possible based on the research. It was slightly customized per company, for examples with a simple "Welcome Company X" which (I think) made a good impression.

Then, sent out the links via email to around 20 companies and tried to follow up as much as possible without seeming pushy. Some people responded after two weeks, some didn't. My current company responded within a day. Within 3 days, they had sent me a test, I finished it and sent it back, we had negotiations and I had accepted their offer. Two weeks later I moved from San Diego to NYC. Their responsiveness and professionalism was a big plus.

I've been reviewing portfolios for years, but have had terrible experiences with recruiters. They do a great job at hyping people up, only to let you down when you look at the actual work done. So we're posting a lot on industry forums, Twitter, etc and also asking for recommendations through employees and friends to find new people.
It's actually worse. They equate socialism with dictatorships, completely ignoring right-wing dictatorships ans socialist democracies.
Only in so far that academically discounted copies of AutoCAD or PhotoShop are valued much higher by the general public than college textbooks.

Probably the best solution would be to not allow any resale restrictions and change the academic software model to one where you can get a temporary license that expires after a year or something similar.
I think, in the long run -3 to 5 years-, Jon Skinner -Sublime Text- will be leading, like now. I can clearly see his passion and investment in his product.

People at GitHub are also great, well funded, but this is not their core product. Do they have a leader -I don't know if they have or not- who will be focusing only on this product and keep up with jskinner?

I am sure Atom will be around for long years, as well as Sublime Text. Thanks to GitHub, I am looking forward to give it a try.
It would work if they have capital to the point where they can run the site on the interest/dividends paid out on investing that capital. I highly doubt they are in that position but there is a scheme where that will work.
And vice versa, as someone at corp decided to "innovate." (The hours are still better for most, though.)
There is a bit of a parable I hear told sometimes when this topic comes up:
A man is being taught how computers work, and is presented with the design of an adder in the form of a few Boolean logic expressions. Thinking back to the true "reality" of addition, he rejects the design of the adder on the grounds that nand gates have no apparent connection to the sensible reality of having 5 apples and 3 oranges and 8 fruits.

This would be considered a ridiculous objection in every field but physics, where misunderstandings following from it have become the basis of many bestsellers. For some reason, we consider the math involved in physics to be exempt from the otherwise universal sense of abstraction that all the other fields enjoy. We don't go looking for tiny calculators in bacteria capable of plotting out exponential population growth, so why should the weirdness of quantum math cause so much trouble?
This is another demonstration of how (some) elected politicians are unable to grasp reality.

Imagine the person at your workplace, who is liked by most people. Is that the person which is most capable of deciding what should happen to steer the community as a whole?

Most probably not.

Ah, so one could draw a link to the single currency. The single currency is basically European countries tethering theirs to the Deutschmark, which is great for Germany, but disastrous for the others. So, economic boom for Germany, kids can afford to live away from their parents. Economic hardship for others (remember "PIIGS"?) mean kids have been living with their parents more...
