A lot of comments here make a point that kids do miss school because they miss friends. This is addressed in the Twitter thread [1] linked from the article:

> Some, yes, are lonely and miss their friends. But the vast majority expressed that that they don’t feel that disconnected, because their after school habits of texting, Discord, and video chats remain intact.

I was home-schooled from 3rd grade onward, and I didn't miss public school one whit. Fuck that noise.
Yes, that's a thing if you have good relationships with coworkers who have hiring power in later jobs. Since I switched to being a founder I've firmly disabused most previous coworkers of the notion that I'd ever come to work with them, but I used to regularly hear from them, and now I routinely reach out to the people that I liked working with.

If you're not experiencing this, you really can't ask anyone else anything, but you can ask yourself what's wrong. It might just be that you haven't made friends with people who have hiring influence; that said, most people can at least refer folks. More likely is that you aren't getting personally close enough with people at work, so they are not thinking of you. Spend more time interacting on a human level with non-engineers, who are way more often to be influential re: hiring at future jobs.

It's also possible that you're not considered a solid worker, or you don't get along with people, but in my experience that's a lot less common than merely not making friends with people who are likely to have jobs to offer in the future. Learning to find and befriet those people is a key career skill.
xxHash is legacy, replaced by xx3. Still not the fastest block hash, https://github.com/rurban/smhasher

This is a good survey paper about the old, known, fast, simple one-line hashes. I've tested all of them in smhasher also. They are all *not* recommended for production use.
The author seems like they're trying to disprove one subjective experience with their own, and act like it's an obvious fact - despite the author almost certainly never having months of school due to a pandemic. To continue this trend, I certainly enjoyed school.

Again though, anecdotes.

I look forward to seeing the actual data that comes out of this period and how it's affected childrens schooling. Personally I suspect it will be a net negative.
I gave up on playing GTA:O because everything took so long to load, having never spent a dime. I have to imagine there is so much lost revenue because of this bug; I hate to be harsh but it is truly an embarrassment that someone external to R* debugged and fixed this before they did (given they had 6 years!).
The environmental impact of this decision is nothing compared to this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26296339

(and the linked one is trivial to fix!)
> I think you can get it from the App Store? It comes with all the permissions it needs, simulators, ability to connect to your devices etc. You don't need emacs or something like that.

Haha, that's only because Apple controls the App Store and the OS. The first time you launch Xcode, it wants your admin privileges so it can install a bunch of stuff outside the sandbox. I shouldn't even say sandbox, because I think Xcode is not actually sandboxed?
The art style of Francis Bacon is fantastic, but the troubled life he led is maybe even more intriguing, mysterious and dark.

For those curious, here's a very well done documentary on Francis by BBC - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgrO5za0lSY (warning, graphic themes)
I'm going to have one last go. Low friction network services are inevitable. There will be point and click, or since it's 2021, tap, interfaces for allocating resources (compute, DNS, storage, etc) to services. The technology stack that makes that happen can be composed of open standards, protocols, and software, or it can be a proprietary gated one. Either way it'll probably be built on UNIX, it's just a question of whether we'll get a seat at the table, or if it'll be UNIX in the iPhone sense.
Personally I didn't notice, but I haven't timed them. Any OS update takes rather noticeable amount of time, so I switch to something else while this is happening.
Even if you view this as a business decision rather than a technical one, any smart project manager would realise a 6 minute loading time literally costs the company millions per year in lost revenue. (How many times have you felt like firing up GTA Online only to reconsider due to the agonising load time). I would guess this was simply a case of business folk failing to understand that such a technical issue could be so easily solved plus developers never being allowed the opportunity to understand and fix the issue in their spare time.
Are those strategies worth anything if handpicked basket of the best hedge funds can't outperform index fund as illustrate by long bet of Warren Buffet and some hedge fund guy?

Because if they are not worth anything then stock market is ONLY about timing your entry and exit correctly by sheer luck. Same as bitcoin.
As I remember the KIN was also screwed at the last moment when Verizon decided to abandon it. Not only did they not push it like they had planned, they decided it would count as a smartphone, thus your teenager's new "feature phone+" would cost you $50-$70 a month instead of the $10 or $20 it should have.

That put directly in the iPhone price range, and the KIN was never designed to compete with the iPhone or any other real smartphone.

Too bad. I heard the sync software for it was actually pretty fantastic.

I dunno, but I think I'd make a great CEO at Microsoft. Lots of things they do could be great products if someone would actually pay attention to the details and implement a forced eating their own dog food policy.
That's not how science works. In science, among educated people, something like this is assumed to be false until evidence proves it true. You're speaking as though it's true until evidence proves it false. If your view were to take hold, UFOs, Bigfoot, and the Loch Ness Monster would all be assumed to be real until someone proved that they didn't exist. The problem with that outlook is it would require proof of a negative, an impossible evidentiary burden.

TL;DR: learn science.
But this is then an extra place where his credit card details are stored, and he may not have decided to trust Stripe like that yet.
sounds like Cython. Are any such optimizations planned for 3.5 (or beyond)?
I think both the author and you are missing the point.

Ignoring the people that just reiterate poorly formulated ideas heard somewhere else, the complaints about magic were quite valid: originally the Rails source-code was too hard to read and comprehend.

When I used Django, I read most of the source-code from django.core and even stuff from django.contrib.

Django also has its quirks. I could understand pretty easily how a ForeignKey works (I don't know, it just clicked), but understanding how a FileField works was hard because the object I was receiving was just a proxy that forwarded all messages to an object that I couldn't figure out how it got instantiated (or the logic behind the decision). And when I did figure out how the thing worked, I puked a little and came up with an inelegant hack for what I was trying to do.

Figuring out how stuff works is really useful when you want to extend the provided functionality or work around a bug that has to be fixed RIGHT NOW or break free of those conventions that sometimes are just too limiting. Not to mention incomplete documentation which many times is seriously lacking.

Django's source code (when compared to Rails), while also full of conventions, has this neat property that I like: you can read and understand 70% of its source-code (going line-by-line with a debugger) without fully understanding Python's meta-programming capabilities, which makes it really friendly to beginners.

I mean, the convention for "has_many :tags" is really neat, but such conventions have to have complementaries in the Rails source-code ... i.e. clear conventions for how to find and read the source-code of this mechanism.

Fortunately Rails 3 got a major refactoring effort, that I could read portions of it. It's more modular and reader-friendly now: and this is partly because people complained about magic. With a couple of additions here and there, it can be the web framework I've been waiting my whole web-dev carrier :-)
It was news to me, because I was looking for some kind of documentation for quite some time now. The best I found so far was webkit blog at http://webkit.org/blog/
In a nutshell, it's not about the tools, it's about the missing docs and I hope google invests more resources into teaching the developer how to use these tools more efectively.

Dev tools is an excellent tool for web developers, and as far as I know, no one is using it because of Firefox and Firebug. I'm not saying they aren't good tools: they are. It's just that I personally prefer Chrome over Firefox as a browser, and I'm really glad I found this documentation resource.
But they also imply, and that I find a bit worrying, that the organic local search results might not be sorted primarily by relevance, as Google always claimed to be so.

Ok, it might be just a coincidence, that the 7 most relevant results for "NY Chiropractors" are the websites which registered with Google service called Places, and all the others ranked below #7 just happen to not registered on Places. But what is the probability this being the case?

It just looks like the websites who registered with Places got preferential treatment in search results, and that was the main point of the article (which you didn't mention in your comment). And this I don't find to be trolling, but a legitimate concern.
All cloud storage services offer unlimited storage in one form or another. It will be interesting to see who comes up with the most seamless solution for managing limited on device memory storage with unlimited storage on the cloud. Users may also want different files to be synced on different devices. I have only used Dropbox among all of these services, and its current manual Selective Sync is a clumsy way to manage data.
thanks, I embedded the gfycat version
This is so different from Pwn2Own I don't even know where to start. This failure case shows up in the most basic test case of what the library is supposed to do. The whole point of having certificate validation is that you identify invalid certificates. Try to come up with a reason why there are no regression tests with the library and why there wasn't a regression test that verified that for the default case, an invalid certificate was reported as such.
thanks. The Pros/Cons were supposed to refer to the complete architecture setup, and not to the Q component by itself. I can see how that could have been read that way...
For reasons I don’t fully understand, NIOSH absolutely requires head bands to be N95 certified. NIOSH believes a good fit is difficult enough with ear loops that they’ll never certify them.
Just look up what happened the last two years in Venezuela and Argentina, we no longer need to guess...
It seems like they haven't gotten to this, don't understand the needs and the potential, or aren't doing this intentionally. My understanding is that Docker maintains what amounts to a wrapper VM with nice integration to enable the workflow. This doesn't exist for Podman as far as I've seen.

On Windows, the WSL2 feature gives you that easy wrapper in a different way. It's sets up and manages the underlying VM although you have to choose your distro etc. Once this is running after a simple setup you are just using Linux from that point on. It's less specialized than how Docker on macOS seems to work.

If someone knows of something that follows the WSL2 approach without VirtualBox or VMware Fusion I'd be all ears. That would be more versatile than how Docker seems to work right now. Docker's business interests probably aligned well with getting a workflow running, so unless someone is motivated to do similar for Podman, you are going to be out of luck. At least recognizing this deficiency would be a start though.
Anyone who's comfortable casually making proclamations like, "everyone has and knows Discord" is living in a bubble.
Maybe true for corded vacuums, but the Dyson cordless models have superior battery life.
It is almost 50% faster for launching containers. That’s considerable, and at scale could be an actual cost savings. If nothing else, efficiency is good.

Also, small c projects can be written properly with discipline. This is a very talented team on a very small and well scoped project. It can be written properly.
Stylo is a technical success, regardless of how you feel about Firefox.
The silly thing about all this is eMMC is a wear part.

Tesla made a really serious mistake and didn't take that into account and now the user is "holding it wrong". That needs to be in a place where the user or a technician can service it easily.

They were just trying to save a penny or a second of engineering time and now pretending they knew all along.
Typelevel and ZIO take completely different approach to certain things. Even if everyone would be holding hands and singing, they would still argue in discussions on GH.

Typelevel and Cats wants everything to be a pluggable library. Everything should be configurable, hardcoding things is avoided. You are in charge of every single effect.

ZIO is basically a type-safe, compile-time, IO-monad-based framework, managing error handling, side effects and dependency injection. It is opinionated, and libraries integrating with it share its opinions. Some people consider this a FP, type safe Spring Framework.

Both can be integrated if you know what you're doing. Both have plenty of people to push things forward. At this point history between JDG and TL is irrelevant to the community. People involved in past dramas still don't like each others but they don't interact with each other during development, so just don't use Twitter and you won't even notice.
My household vacuum cleaners have almost always been corded (with the exception of a couple battery powered ones I had 5 or 10 years ago). Granted, I didn't shell out several hundred dollars for the cordless ones, but dead batteries and replacements got old after the first round so I've stuck to corded ever since. It's just not something I ever really had a problem with. The cords are typically quite long and I never have to worry about battery capacity or lifespan.
How much of business culture uses military terminology or idioms? If sports were eliminated I'm sure we would find something to fill the gap.

This guy wrote one of my all-time favorite papers for its elegant solution to a common problem:

Interestingly enough, had he looked up "lexicon" in an English lexicon he would have found this out as well (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/lexicon). ;)
Yes.
It would be difficult to have anticipated impending financial crisis more incorrectly than this article.

The US economy collapsed due to systemic instability in the financial system rather than the US dollar[1], with the flight to gold lagging rather than leading the economic problems. Policymakers neither become more sympathetic towards the idea of returning a gold standard, nor found it necessary to act to dissuade people from buying gold. Instead they took the complete opposite route: large-scale fiat monetary expansion without the dollar suffering. Ben Bernanke - far less sympathetic towards a gold standard than Greenspan - kept his job. N. Gold prices started to drop again naturally as the US economy started to recover.

[1]if anything, it could be argued to be exacerbated by a collapse in the prices of assets - housing - widely supposed to represent a solid store of value against the dollar due to their relatively stable supply
In the US at least, the successful non-violent resistances were often backed by the threat of violence.
I see that you ask for 10 euro donations. What is the money used for?
Can you clarify this? Are you saying you have never seen a defense succeed, as in, a website has been using a name and didn't put up a copyright notice and wasn't able to claim inherent copyright? Or the opposite. Thanks.

I guess this guy should never have got his doctorate, let alone a Nobel prize?
Exactly. Haven't we heard the same arguments 20 times already ?
The big thing people miss is that while lack of generics might cost them effort worth X, other Go features benefits them Y. The value of Y is pretty large in case of Go, when it comes to concurrency and language level simplicity. It's hard to go wrong in Go.

Whoever designed Go seems to have some experience debugging and maintaining large concurrent systems.

When you design a language, you have to be so careful of things you add. Because otherwise you get C++ (or one of those cute let's-add-all-the-features-we-can-think-of scripting languages). In good and in bad. You can't remove features afterwards, so better not add a feature you can't get right from the beginning.
I would have at least put some sort of screen or filter over those holes.

So many questions. I can understand light reflecting into the eye from a microdisplay (using the same principle as a car HUD), but are they actually creating opaque imagery as well? How is that physically possible?

Then there's 3D spatial interaction: In my experience with Leap Motion, Kinect, and other competing tech, the level of accuracy still limits interactions to broad gestures. If they've made a big enough leap in this domain to enable precise object manipulation, that's a major achievement on its own.

I totally get the 5K, 10K, Marathon thing. Those can be individual goals that someone wants to be part of. Sometimes someone wants to say they ran the NY Marathon and to do that you need to pay to be a part of it. Same thing could be said for the CrossFit Open. However, when you perform at the open, you're still working out at home or at your box (gym) with the same people you always have. Nothing is really that different. So this is where I feel the disconnect is.

If its a goal, then hell, spend $20 and do it. But if its not a goal, then why pay $20? I don't get it either.
Pure speculation, but it sounds like they're relaying everything through the handset. That might explain the lack of iOS support, as background processing is still somewhat restricted.
I don't think anyone has cited specific cases of thwarting terrorist attacks. There's been quotes about some number (52?) of terrorist attacks thwarted, but so what? Which ones?

I agree that more transparency is necessary, and that we must have an intelligent debate, leading, ultimately to dismantling the current mass-surveillance apparatus. But I disagree about the "undoubtedly" part. If you'd said "maybe" I might have agreed, but there's just no evidence. There is evidence of abuses, but no evidence of successes.
I don't know if it's fair to call a paid education an "apprenticeship."
Point. I'll give you that.

But I feel like a major aspect of the "Great Game" was using superior technology to massacre civilians and other soft targets. The invention and use of Gatling Guns, Explosives, and Chemical Warfare through that period was truly terrifying.
That's a straw man argument though, as Pussy Riot didn't vandalize any church unless there's a new event I don't know about.

Every university, scientific and social community, and research organization that think they have to pander to the requests of corporations and those in power, must make note of this.

We have had enough "Dark Ages" in the past. Let's learn something from history.
I'm not sure where you live, but here in Los Angeles, there are areas of the city that have Verizon FiOS with upload speeds up to 25Mbps. A few years back a friend of mine found a guy on Craigslist in who offered to pay the entire FiOS bill every month in exchange for being able to drop off a portable hard drive once a week to upload. If there is FiOS nearby, you can probably find someone willing to go for a deal like that. It would be cheaper than paying Amazon (plus shipping costs).
I think that's number 4, extrospection, where I know what you want better than you do.
Additionally, apt also packages "ruby-1.9.1" which actually installs Ruby 1.9.2. More evidence that apt is fundamentally broken when it comes to Ruby package management.
Comment from the extension page:

"Nice, but beware. This thing appears to send everything you type in the shell to a remote computer, so don't use it as a scratch space for personal information."

On that note, why does it ask for permission to view browser history?
Great to hear! Sounds like Google is still doing a good job of delivering the tools that developers need to make good apps.

Created a Slack Bot that makes it easy and fun to express gratitude to community/workspace members on Slack. It's simple - you send a custom samosa emoji to someone who helped you and earn some Karma.

A community is a place where people add value to each other. And this is a small (fun) way to encourage them to express gratitude online. There are existing bots with tacos, donuts etc but couldn’t find one with the Indian delicacy, Samosa… so went ahead and built one. Would love to get any feedback (on the Bot, landing page etc). Thanks.
> We hear a lot of banter from the “anti-gun” media that these problems are gun problems, and they’ve concocted this “gun deaths” number in order to lump these into the same problem and gloss over the differences. But if the problem were “guns,” then the hot spots on the suicide map and the hot spots on the homicide map would coincide, and would be related to gun ownership rates. There are only a few places where they overlap. Most of the hot zones for suicide have low homicide rates, and most of the hot zones for homicide have low suicide rates. The difference is stark. Let’s zoom in.

Fascinating.

Obviously no easy answer, but isn't the GME stock still overvalued? Right now it's at $53.
It certainly tried to imply it with things like mentioning that he's cited Charles Murray, and then mentioning Murray's completely unrelated writing on race.
My guess is that aluminium foil is indeed negligible in the big picture. But of course, I don't really know how accurate the original statistic is, either, nor do I know the distribution of aluminium for different uses. I imagine a lot of the metal is to be found in aircraft, which are of course pretty long-lived objects.
This is easier in countries with more retail corruption, and in some with wholesale.

The latter would include Russia, China, and the US; the former, Venezuela, UAE, Nigeria. Retail would tend to be petrochemical power. Nuclear power theft is easier to cover up, so would be preferred where it is common, e.g. Russian military sites and US commercial.
