We do occasionally run into bugs between Rust and C++ semantics with LLVM, but they’ve been pretty minor, and LLVM has largely fixed them, to the point of adding instrinsincs to fix these issues.

Bugs happen no matter the language, even if LLVM was in Rust it would have them.

Our town has a state university and a modest tech employment market. Every H-1B holder I've met a) went to the local university, b) works at a hospital or law office, c) writes CRUD apps in Java or C#.

They're good dudes, but hard to imagine that any of them are the kind of alpha-double-plus-good talent that couldn't be locally sourced.

Of course they do. And most separate out special expenses too.
You can also check out tech associations and their job boards. Some of them are behind a membership/paywall though, but at least then you know they aren't being bombarded by the masses.
I think some of those videos are disturbing indeed, but I have to remember the kind of books that were considered childrens' literature when I was growing up: Oliver Twist, Nobody's Boy [1], the Brothers' Grimm fairytales, and various folk tales chock full of dragons, ogres, giants, evil witches, curses, evil, death, blood and torment.

Isn't Little Red Riding Hood the most common fairytale kids in the Western world are nursed to sleep with? That's a story of a little girl and her grandmother being eaten by a wolf, who's then eviscerated with an axe.

And, because I'm Greek, my readings included tomes of Greek history and legends "for kids", where someone always got killed, exiled, adbucted, raped, turned to stone or transformed into an animal, an insect [2], or a tree- including of course the story of Prometheus. You know- the guy that got chained to a rock and had an eagle eating his liver every day.

I read all that as a pre-teen. As a teen I read H.P. Lovecraft and Harry Potter. Harry Potter is probably the most benign, a series full of people getting murdered left and right, in all manner of grim ways, killed by monsters, their soul sucked by evil spirits, exiled to nether dimensions and blown to bits by spells cast by evil warlocks. Lovecraft is probably too scary even for some adults.

And yet, guys, I'm alright, OK? I'm not an axe murderer, a maniac, or a psycho. I'm not violent, I'm an independent adult, I'm not a criminal, or a drug addict, or an alcoholic, or a gambler, or all manner of fucked-up things that little kids can turn to when they grow up in this cruel world.

So, what's up? Is it really the themes of violence and terror that's harmful to kids, or the way those themes are presented? I certainly would rather my kids read old Hesiod, than watch those mind-numbingly stupid "kids'" youtube videos. But, if I could survive the story of Prometheus without turning into a psycho, I think most kids should be able to outgrow Hulk and Spiderman being buried in sand to their necks.

It's not quite so simple. Markdown's problem is that it's always been pretty ill-specified. The original GFM was merely an extension to "Markdown", with its myriad of implementations all with differing behaviors. Even the marked.js README says that it merely "more or less passes the official markdown test suite"; which tests doesn't it pass? And what official Markdown test suite is this referring to ("official" would imply that it's from John Gruber himself, but the first Google result for "official markdown test suite" doesn't have Gruber's name on it)?

Of course nowadays we have CommonMark, but despite ongoing activity CM has yet to have a 1.0 release, meaning that even if one intended to adhere to CM, ongoing maintenance would be required to ensure compatibility. Given that it looks as if marked.js last had a release in mid-2015, that would lead one to assume that it's not trying to follow CM. Furthermore, it was in March of this year that GFM was officially redefined to be an extension of CommonMark, not of Markdown: https://github.github.com/gfm/ , so it's unclear which version of GFM marked.js is emulating.

Lest anyone think I'm taking this too seriously though, the project here in the OP almost certainly doesn't need to care about compatibility. The markup produced is completely transient, so the worst that would happen upon hitting an unintended edge case would just be some temporary cursing on the part of the user. Where it actually matters is when you're storing the markup long-term and expect to ever want to upgrade your Markdown parser without breaking everything; for an example of the difficulty here, see how Rust has been attempting to gracefully upgrade the parser in rustdoc for almost a year now: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/what-to-do-about-pulldown-... , https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44229

Public schools also cost about $20k/year/pupil (I wrote $30 before but looks like I was mistaken). But this is paid from general budget so nobody cares too much, because tax money obviously aren't real money.

How does a NOBUS vulnerability cost them plausible deniability? To prove it's their vulnerability, you have to know the private key that matches a public key.

If you're setting up a honeypot, why would you use an extremely complex cryptographic vulnerability? There's tens of thousands of straightforward software vulnerabilities that allow you to set up honeypots.

Would the author be happier if Chrome/Chromium didn't do these "field trials", and instead just enabled whatever feature they were testing for all users, and the author was hit with the same problem, along with everyone else?

When you cut through the rhetorics, the author is basically complaining that Chromium decided to update itself. Well, maybe it warrants complaint, but I fail to see what's such a big deal. (The alternative is millions using browsers ridden with last year's vulnerabilities.)

I've worked on a videogame where vehicles are controlled from the client but have their physics done on the server. Server sends car position, and client sends inputs. So I can give some insight into how driveable it might actually be:

- <40ms (round trip) is not really noticeable

- 40-~80ms is driveable

- 80-150ms is getting difficult

- 150-250ms you're overcorrecting all the time

- 250ms+ is completely undriveable

That's not trying to avoid sudden obstacles, that's just making turns etc that you already intended to make. Avoiding anything sudden would be impossible much earlier. I agree remote control over Internet will never happen.
Special interests is just code word for other people's deductions.

The fact of the matter is that the 1986 tax reform _already_ tremendously simplified the tax code. Much of the cynicism about the modern tax code is latent from the 1986 reform effort, when politicians were drumming up support for very difficult changes. Before 1986 individuals could take deductions on interest payments, for example, just like businesses; after 1986 individuals were only left with the mortgage interest deduction. On the other hand, the corporate code was also tremendously simplified, and like I said did away with esoteric technical requirements rife with loopholes. People were willing to give up their exceptions because corporations lost a lot of theirs, and everything at least felt more equitable.

I would argue that the major thrust of the current reform effort is neither simplification nor a quid pro quo. Even with 30 years of accreted deductions, things are incomparable to the pre-1986 system. The major thrust of the current reform effort is simply to shift more of the tax burden from corporate taxes to individual taxes.

I don't know why, but I'm sort of ambivalent about all of this, frankly. Perhaps partly because a significant number of of my yearly deductions are business deductions, which I know the GOP won't touch. I think it's dishonest to sell the current reform as simplification, because while some aspects are being simplified, that's neither the underlying motivation nor design. The thrust of the current reform effort is simply to cut corporate rates and replace that lost revenue with revenue from personal income taxes.

So, for example, personal exemptions are being folded into the standard deduction and sold as a "simplification". But the only reason for doing that is to hide the fact that such a combined deduction will be less than the current standard deduction+exemptions. Those things are separate for a simple reason--the standard deduction is fixed per household, but the personal exemption is per household member. It could have equally been simplified by getting rid of the standard deduction and increasing personal exemptions, but doing that wouldn't have raised revenue. And that's why it's disingenuous to sell this as simplification--the primary purpose is to generate revenue from personal income taxes to offset reductions in corporate income taxes.

There are many reasonable arguments for supporting the GOP tax plan. But people should be wary of rationalizing things in a way that causes them to support or reject the plan even though it fundamentally disagrees with their personal policy preferences.

EDIT: Quote from a 2011 review of the 1986 reform:

"[The 1986 t]ax reform was not only revenue neutral but also
roughly distributionally neutral: This tax reform was not to
become an occasion for significantly shifting the
distribution of income tax burdens among income classes. So
distributional neutrality, along with revenue neutrality,
became guiding principles for the legislation."

I'd like to know why they're shrinking their list of locations.

I love using Fresh, in Seattle. Saves me several hours per week; reduces the need for car trips and navigating nasty parking lots; avoids walking past aisles of bad food; and removes the headache of shopping with my young children who are tempted by every sugar-based object in sight or within reach.

On the minus side, I really dislike that they've introduced tipping (defaults to $5). Somewhat rarely, the people who bag items are thoughtless (putting fresh fruits next to ice bags; crushing yogurt with heavy items on top).

I've tried the pickup variation instead of delivery but often some items are unavailable for pickup, and it it simply very convenient to find my groceries in front of the house at 5 or 6am.

I have watched sports on-and-off all my life, but was never really that interested or involved. My girlfriend got really interested in the Warriors over the past 3 or 4 years and learned about all the players. I started to watch more often and, following her interest, for the first time learned every players' name and could identify every one of them on the court all the time. This makes watching completely different and much more stimulating for me.

I know the different playing styles of the players. Watching a player behave like you anticipate them to activates some deep intellectual pleasure zone I had never had with a sport before. Also, when you know a players normal level of play, when they do something special, it has more impact.

Once you know each players style, you can then start to think about and imagine how the five different players on the floor are going to behave as a group. When someone subs in, you can change what you think the playing is going to be like and when you see that is the case, it is pretty cool.

I just know the Warriors players this well, along with a couple of the super stars like Le Bron and Harden. Some sports fans know everyone in the league. That must be an even more intense and interesting intellectual feeling than what I get out of it.
Hopefully now people will start typing "you're" instead of "ur".

> The idea that money given to employees as equity is not "real money" is toxic.

Equity is not money, and employee-owned equity often isn't easy to convert to money, especially in non-public firms (but even in public firms, employees are often bound by insider-trading rules.)

Of course, costs associated with equity-based compensation are real costs to the firm, independent of the fact that equity is not money.

What is "position in education"? I notice that's the third person making claims without backing them up or even substantiating them enough to be verifyable ("US school sucks" is not verifyable, "US schools ranked number N according to metric M published by organization O" is). I don't know where these people are educated so not sure whether I can take it as anecdotal evidence to either side...

I think it has to do with the human desire to be apart of something bigger than ourselves.

Major sporting organizations (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, etc...) are very good at selling stories of players/teams and having people emotionally connect with players/teams at that level. This is what leads to favorite players which can lead to favorite teams.

Another aspect is region. For example, I've grown up in Seattle since I was a toddler. Everyone around me is a Seahawks fan. I am a Seahawks fan. It'd be too much to follow multiple teams for me, but some do.

This gives me something in common with those around me, and having team spirit and dressing up on Sundays is fun. Hanging out with friends on Sundays, watching football, and shooting the shit is a lot of fun and sometimes the only time we can all make to see each other as we get older and our lives drift in their different directions. That bit was a little off tangent but it does help illustrate why someone may like sports.

I'll agree that learning the rules really helps.
When you're watching two different teams line up against each other, attempting to read what the other team is trying to do and executing against it in real time is exhilarating! There are several aspects of the game that have to be accounted for on every single play. It's a mental, physical, and emotional game.

Hope this helps you (or any reader) understand why someone may enjoy to watch sports. Go Hawks! :)
Thanks. I asked the question in such an open-ended way just to see if you had any crazy ideas. It does sound like a hard problem.

In terms of what it could mean, one idea I just had is to take a trained model, randomly remove (e.g., zero out) neurons, and then train a second model to predict how well the trained model continues to work without those removed neurons. The goal would not be to 'thin out' the first model to reduce computation, but to train the second one learn to identify important neurons/interactions. Perhaps the second model can learn to predict which neurons/interactions are most important to the first model, as a stepping stone for further analysis?

Firefox is not immune to this behavior.
Please look up the preference "experiments.enabled" before recommending blindly.

In fact, Firefox has increased in the amount of unwarranted telemetry and "experiments" a lot in the last years, a direction I'm really not happy with.

The main difference is that Firefox still gives you pretty liberal access to most internal settings, while Chromium is abysmal, if not ridiculous.
For a developer there is no better browser than Firefox Developer Edition 58+ at the moment, its new Quantum engine is insanely fast and the included developers tools are far superior than the ones on Chrome.

I know Firefox had a dark period on which it felt behind Chrome on most fronts, but those days are over, if you haven't used it on a while, give it try! you won regret it.
> Firefox is not slower, it's just that most websites are optimised and tested only or mainly under Chrome.

Anecdotally.. Firefox was always slower rendering pages compared to other browsers. On some sites that I visited regularly, using FF was depressing. Later on, it started to suffer from caching issues on my machine. This caused a massive system slowdown.

Tried Palemoon (non-blink\webkit, etc). It blazed through pages- even the heavy ones FF had problems with historically. The rendered results were spot on too. It was like getting a new machine.

What I'm saying is that we can't blame everything on pages being optimized for Browser X or Browser Y. Sometimes we need to call out our favorite browsing application and let them know this is an issue. Otherwise, they keep losing users based solely on performance.

Having said that, looking forward to Quantum.

People in graduate programs tend to come from privileged backgrounds but themselves are not privileged in terms of wealth. I fail to see how taxing somebody making 25k in pre-tax income with a 15k bill is sticking it to the wealthy. The proposed changes also do not care at all what background you come from. They hurt the kid who came from nothing to go to grad school just as much.

The question is whether you really derive ~50k/yr of value in tuition that these waivers cover as a PhD student. I think I took like five classes my entire career in grad school. Hardly seems worth the ~250k that I was "granted" by the university.
Minor note, you should add the field DOI={10.23915/distill.00007} to the BibTeX citation. This is also missing from Google scholar, and is a particular pat peeve of mine now that DOIs are practically mandatory (copying the helpfully-formatted citation but then having to look around the page to find the DOI).
User Test Findings Led to 600% Increase in KPI [Case Study]
- They lost $3 Billion in 9 months.

- For every $6 they spent, they got back $1 in revenue.

- The product is an app which is free to use.

- A large chunk of their system runs on Google App Engine; which is probably the most expensive and highest lock-in infrastructure solution that you could possibly use.

- The CEO, who was basically fresh out of university, turned down a $4 Billion offer buy the company.

So basically; they're a company which loses money at an incredible rate on a product which is nearly impossible to monetise and with an inexperienced and irrational person as a CEO. I'm surprised it still exists tbh.

No sane rational person can look at those numbers and think that it's a good investment.
