I suspect that the author didn't want to eager-load all files because the API they're using is rate-limited -- 60 requests/hr when unauthenticated, or 5000/hr if you generate a unique OAuth token. Even that 5k could get burned through pretty quickly for a larger repo, assuming you have to make at least one request per file.
Well, the contract with the EU included the UK factory(ies) as a (potential?) supplier to the EU.

UK signed the contracts slightly earlier and jump-started the programme by issuing an emergency approval a few weeks earlier than the regular approval by the EMA.

And above all, it seems despite all efforts of coordination and treaties (COVAX), almost all players (except Norway) are playing the auction game and hoarding.

This is a global pandemic and these "selfish" actions will have global effects :(

Maybe, maybe not. Twitter is free to do what you think they should not.

It's what Twitter exercises when it decides what content and content sources to relay.

Free speech isn't an entitlement to someone else's resources to

A sort of humanitarian science, since almost everything we touch have been made by other humans. But somehow STEM people are famous for looking down their nose on the non-hard sciences.
Adjunct definitely means something different at MIT. For instance, departments are only allowed to hire adjuncts up to 5% of the total normal faculty members of their department[1]. MIT EECS only has six [2]. In effect, this means that adjunct positions are only for really, really qualified people -- they're not there to fill out the teaching staff but to augment the experience of the rest of the faculty.

Adjunct professors can also supervise research, which I believe is uncommon at other institutions.

[1] http://web.mit.edu/policies/2/2.3.html#sub2

[2] Four listed as "adjuncts" and four "professors of the practice", which are equivalent per [1]: https://www.eecs.mit.edu/people/faculty-advisors
The basic cause of a timing attack is that if cryptographic operations can take different amounts of time depending on the content, then we can potentially be leaking information to an attacker. If we try to solve this by padding our work using sleep() or similar, we might reveal less information directly – but the performance characteristics of our machine will still be different when we complete and operation quickly then sleep, versus when we complete an option slowly and sleep for less time.

Here's a not-at-all real-world example – say an attacker causes a cryptographic operation to happen, while at the same time monitoring the time taken to respond to a ping request. Ignoring loads of complexity, we might find that a machine takes slightly longer to respond to a ping when it is performing an operation (i.e. the CPU is busy) than when it is sleeping. If that's the case, we're suddenly leaking timing information again.
I think it's crucial to the maintenance of our superstition that we don't know which parts of the system are actually important, and we keep misleading ourselves into the wrong assumption.

For example - style considerations. Important? Yes? Maybe? Not at the moment when it reaches the computer, but important when humans have to grok it.

So then should we "lead" development by promoting style? Will that get us somewhere? Probably not as much as some other strategy. But it's still sort of important and this blogger made a nice post the other day about style, so...
Case in point: the Republican support for putsch has dropped from 47% to 18% mere hours after the first FBI raids.
Gradient descent is a subset of survival of the fittest, described by Darwin in 1800-1900, and has been in applied in computer science since the 70's. An AGI will probably use some form of gradient descent during its training, yes, but I wouldn't argue that this has brought us even close to an AGI.
Do you use many 3rd party libraries? How do you learn to use them?

The one thing stopping me from using Haskell for real work is that nothing in the library ecosystem seems to have a users manual.
If I remember correctly, the founders were against making it free. It was one of the reasons they left years ago
There are languages more suited to program in, and there are languages more suited to move the field of programming itself forward. I guess Haskell belongs to the latter category and when people try to ram it into the former set, they get frustrated.
> programming languages are meant to ease the task of creating computer programs as opposed to writing assembly by hand

This! The haskell ecosystem is missing a certain kind of pragmatism. There's a lot of beautiful type abstractions, talking about monads, etc., but not enough builders doing actual application development. In my opinion it's not the language that is bad, but the ecosystem. Missing documentation, missing tooling and infrastructure, no focus on actually building applications.

We're trying to fix that with IHP, a new haskell framework with a focus on actual building applications. Imagine the productiveness of rails combined with the typesafety of haskell.

6 months after it's release it's already the second biggest haskell framework, and we just had a new record of weekly active users last week. To me this shows that by fixing the ecosystem haskell can reach a lot more than it's currently doing.

I've just decided to give everyone the benefit of the doubt on the internet, it's much easier. If someone claims to be a flat earther, or believes some other patent nonsense, I'll assume they're sincere. If someone makes racist comments, I'll assume they're sincerely a racist.

The intent of trolls is to be perceived in a certain way, so give them what they want and let them suffer the consequences.
There's actually considerable debate on the subject. I find it reasonable that things which are outside the CPI basket can indeed experience inflation.

https://www.investopedia.com/articles/07/consumerpriceindex....

If 25% of circulating USD were created last year, and our economic value is the same or even diminished, wouldn't it follow that there must be significant inflation?
I think the simplicity of different thinking of this project is brilliant! Great work!

Pretty neat in my opinion
I somehow obtained an "ON TV" box. (From a friend of a friend who cancelled and never returned it.) I took a look at the innards and most of it looked a lot like a TV (RF front end, video demodulator, RF remodulator), Attached to the top (steel) cover was a module that was completely covered in blue potting material. I already knew about the scrambling techniques being used. (Sine wave mixed with video, but out of phase with horizontal sync pedestal. Sound encoded on narrow-band FM similar to SCA.) The blue module had only a few connections (from memory):
1) +12VDC and ground
2) Video input/output (via coax) from video demodulator.
3) Yellow wire which when driven with +12VDC, enabled FM demod of hidden sound channel.

With nothing to lose, I took a blowtorch to the potted module. After about half an hour I had removed all of the potting (and many of the components). There was a large (40-pin) ASIC, a 14-pin (74xx TTL) chip, a few other chips, a row of drilled holes (24?) that coded the unique serial number of the box and fed it to the ASIC, and a one-transistor class-A inverting video amplifier/filter/mixer. The video amp had a bias input from the TTL chip (probably a 7400 configured as a S/R flip-flop). The ASIC had outputs to the yellow wire (sound) and to the 7400. It would receive coded instructions (sent to all boxes during the horizontal blanking interval) via the video input, but would only act on the "enable" or "disable" messages targeted to its serial number. Enable would set the flip-flop and disable would clear it. The bias from the 7400 flip-flop to the transistor came from pin 8 (NAND output).
I deduced that the (destroyed) transistor had been NPN so I put in a 2N2222. I deduced the needed bias resistors and a DC-block capacitor and installed those too. I saw that when the NAND output was "low", it would bias the transistor to remove the sine wave from the video (by mixing it with an out-of-phase version provided by the ASIC). I was happy to find that my deductions were correct and that the (mostly destroyed) blue module actually worked well enough to decode the encrypted signals. I kept that box for myself and used it for years.

When friends learned what I had done, they all wanted me to do the same thing to their boxes. I carefully measured the dimensions of blue module and the location of the 7400. By drilling into the lower part of the chip and shorting pin 7 (ground) to pin 8 (/enable) with a small blob of solder, the video decode would be enabled. Enabling sound was just a matter of cutting the yellow wire and connecting it to +12VDC.

I got it all right on the first try and enabled many boxes for friends and acquaintances. It was my first real reverse-engineering/hardware hacking puzzle and I had a lot of fun doing it.
Opposite for me. After years of Scala (which I like) I recently tried to port a few things to Scala 3 and it really feels like some of the wtf-implicit part is gone. We'll still need to make a complete idea about this version 3 though.
I have had poor experiences with "fancy" SQL libraries in multiple languages. This includes Slick and Quill in Scala.

I don't remember what the problems were with Slick that leave such a bad feeling when I hear its name -- that was 5 years ago -- but I had problems with Quill just last year. I was trying to use it to generate an efficient "in" query against a two column composite primary key, and nothing seemed to work. Since it uses macro magic, one of my attempts triggered an internal compiler error instead of normal compiler feedback.

I ended up dropping Quill for ScalikeJDBC:

http://scalikejdbc.org/

It seems to be less popular/active than other libraries, but it is dead simple to use, even for developers new to Scala. I write exactly the SQL I want just like I would in psql. There is little-to-no magic. I think that the only slightly magical feature I use is variable interpolation into SQL ("SQLInterpolation") that prevents injection attacks. It actually has capabilities to automatically map tables/columns into different structures and generate code for you, but my team doesn't use any of that. We just write SQL.
That doesn't make me feel better about throwing all that energy away for nothing. And it doesn't feel like nothing: it feels like a ponzi scheme.

Also, even renewables have environmental impact.

i don't think that's true. They don't allow you to make an incompatible fork and a compatible fork, but as long as your fork is capable of running Play Services, you can distribute a version without it.

You just get into trouble if you do like Amazon did and try to block the installation of Google Play Services.

I think the first assertion is simply untrue, and without it the rest is nonsense. You don't need to learn how to use multiple editors to do anything.

I suppose there are some languages/environments that are somewhat tied to certain editors (java and eclipse, C# and visual studio, objective-C and xcode), but that's not what is proposed here. It's a general purpose programmer's editor that anyone can use for anything. Are you really upset that it's being written? Why do you think you'll have to learn it?
Always use CSS transforms to place things that are going to move rather than setting an X/Y absolute position or changing the margins and padding.

Honestly I'm extremely happy with EF6 and LINQ. If you know what you're doing [1] it works extremely well.

Having used EF6+LINQ in 2014 I feel this post from 2006 is quite outdated. The article tells you as much:

> Work in this space has thus far been limited, constrained mostly to research projects and/or "fringe" languages, but several interesting efforts are gaining visibility within the community, such ... the LINQ project from Microsoft

LINQ's come a long way since 2006.

[1] Mostly this comes down to understanding the leaky abstraction between what IQueryable can do [2] with respect to what an ORM can do with SQL generation

[2] Also knowing your IQueryables from your IEnumerables.

I think there is a purpose for this in video, but I'm not sure it's an all or nothing game. Especially here. For starters, the gameplay looks smoother in nearest neighbor because your eyes defocus while playing. Hence, you need sharp pixel edges to dilettante and your eyes do the rest. In a still shot, that's not the case at all. You want focus and smoothness.

Interesting though...

This is mostly irrelevant. Bitcoin "has no" escrow arbitrator in the very same sense that cash (esp physical) has no escrow arbitrator. It's just something you have to layer on top if you want that service, the same way you would for a cash transaction. To the extent that it mimics cash's irreversibility, then of course it inherits the need for third parties when you actually want this kind of reversibility.

(Normally at this point I'm supposed to mention bitcoin's embedded programmable contract system that further facilitates escrow, but I'm worried that bringing it up at the same level would encourage the very same apples-to-oranges comparison I'm trying to get people to stop making!)
It would be neat if they offered a discount for them being wireless access points accessible to other Google Fiber customers.

> for a story about how chemical X is bad for your health, you don't need to read about Suzy and Michael, their new house, what they're going to name their baby and how they decided on painting the house in Suzy's grandmother's favorite color... to learn that some paint includes a chemical that is bad for your health.

But the story isn't chemical X is bad for you. It's about how Suzy and Michael, within a specific set of circumstances, had bad things happen after being exposed to chemical X.

Depending on who you are, those details could be important. If chemical X is known to be harmful, it opens up details into how Suzy and Michael got exposed and who exposed them. Is this a local problem or a national one? Are there alternative explanations for the bad things that have nothing to do with chemical X? The human interest details, meanwhile, clue you into socioeconomic and demographic factors which may be at play. (But also may not.)

These sorts of stories are surfacing anecdotes. Hopefully fact-checked anecdotes. But not peer-reviewed papers, either. (All that said, I personally prefer publications that tend towards terseness.)
