Exactly. I can't afford to stand up for my ideals at the border. I expect people (including myself) to stand up for these things, just not at the border.

My main way of disagreeing with policies like this is to simply skip any travel to the US. I can't vote, but I can vote with my wallet.

But basically saying that people should either accept that their expensive holiday (or job) might go down the toilet, or they have no principles - is a bit much to expect I think.
I had an account with them some months ago, but their system is like shit. Completely shit. When I was long, the balance showed the opposite, when the market was against me my position improved and vice-versa.
This had all the bad consequences that one can imagine, as I couldn't close some positions because supposedly there were no funds for that, when in fact, there were.

They need a system fix, I really don't trust them.

Indeed. Going further, the idea that "general intelligence" can exist is something I'll countenance; the assumption that humans have it is a conceit without convincing evidence, based on a sample of one.
In iCloud ecosystem, create a family, with a child account AppleID.

Do a full backup. Wipe the phone, log in with child account.

You can now redownload a few key apps needed for the trip, as well as some normal apps: weather, TripIt/Uber/CityMapper, games, etc. Because it’s a family account, all the re-downloads are free.

Share essential data (that you don’t mind being taken) from your own account to this account the way you would to another family member. Use the iCloud “Family” calendar for your trip planning (useful anyway to share travel plans with partner etc), or subscribe this account to e.g. your TripIt/TripCase calendar. Invite this child account as a family member for your smart home etc., using child (parental controlled) config where available so it’s not an admin. Use secure Shared Notes from Apple Notes or Evernote to bridge travel lists. Subscribe to a shared iCloud Photos album so you can seamlessly post photos taken with this account back to your primary account (and that album will only contain photos you intend to be visible on this persona). Load in your business’s main contact info, your personal contact card with your business email and number, and then contacts for airlines, car rentals, hotels, and customer support numbers you use. If traveling with a partner, load their contact in as well, also using work info. Include a contact record for the ‘emergency contact’ you already disclosed on other forms (airline, customs). If the device is lost, searched, etc., revoke this child from everything you’d shared to it from.

If you need access to more while traveling, look into 1Password’s travel mode, and share a travel-safe vault from yourself to yourself:

When you are set up as you like, backup to iCloud. In the future, you can restore from this backup.

Caveat: On the parent ID, avoid applications that mark their data to exclude from iCloud backups unless they sync themselves to the cloud and auto-restore the data when restoring that Apple ID to a new device. For such apps, you will have to manually recreate their data, or use legacy iTunes wired backup and restore which defeats the purpose if you wish to restore at your trip destination. A common example might be Google Authenticator.

Pro-Tip: Restoring very large numbers of apps, as well as iCloud data such as files and photos, can take a very long time OTA. On a home Mac, set up iCloud Content Caching with a sufficient size to cache all apps, documents, and photo data, to radically improve restore times:

https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/about-content...

This will speed up app restore for the child account as well, though that shouldn’t be an issue as you’ll maintain a very small number of apps.

The device will be useful from home to destination, and info (notes, photos, etc.) on the go can be shared back to the parent. Depending on length of trip, you can restore to your primary ID at destination and then flip again for the trip home.

The device will be normal.
I've been 100% remote for almost 6 years. I don't think I can go back.

I have a family and a stay-at-home wife, though, so I'm really not looking for socialization through work.

My work is very strict about keeping normal work schedules (it's not flex schedules) to avoid issues like this.

Rebuilding FreshBooks Using Tailwind CSS
It is always good to not have possible ambiguity in a language though.

A classic example is a C++ line such as:

a ** b

Before you know if a and b are variable names or type names, you do not know whether this line is a variable declaration or a multiplication or a syntax error.

My point is that some keywords could be used as identifiers in some situations, but this might not always be the case.

One option would be to not have any keywords, just operators. Or maybe a special keyword decoration.
This is helpful, thanks. I'll update this post with your recommendation.

Planning to read the Spectre paper next week and do another blog post.

Edit: Just read your blog post, definitely need to add a "what's this about", and a "what you should do" section.
> How could I mistake two values as equal when they were not? If I'm doing a cmp.b d0, #$31, either d0 will contain #$31 and it will be a byte or it won't.

Testing equality with a constant is not the only equality test you make in programs. Firstly, what assurances do you even have that d0 actually is a byte? d0 could be a pointer so a byte comparison is invalid, unless you're doing some low-order bit pointer tagging.

Secondly, comparisons where both operands are variables are where it starts getting murkier.

> In the line of work I do I don't normally design systems with locking, but I have designed them in the past and they worked fine by the way of empirical testing (purposely trying to cause a deadlock). I didn't need a formal system to prove it, nor would I ever trust such a system to ensure that my code or logic were correct.

You certainly need a formal system to prove it if you want to guarantee absence of deadlocks. You literally just said that you couldn't empirically trigger a deadlock, but that doesn't entail deadlocks don't exist.

As for your distrust, I'm not interested in non-factual religious arguments.

As for Knuth, you do realize he thinks that typical testing practices are often stupid, and that quote is him poking fun right? He informally proves most of the code he works with, and only does testing when he's still exploring an idea and he doesn't yet know what he wants.

> It doesn't make a difference if one is not a good programmer: in that case, nothing will save one. Not even being able to formally prove one's program logic is correct.

What kind absurdity is this? If you can prove your program's logic is correct, your program's logic is correct even if you're a bad programmer. It's a literal tautology.

Finally, I have no idea why "natural born coders" has anything to do with what this thread is about. We're talking about what should be the standards and norms across a whole industry, not a select few who might not need them. Typing is not a panacea, but results are undeniably better with a decent, modern type system than without.
Conflating "socialism" and with communism (specifically, Leninism/Stalinism and its children and grandchildren) is common as dirt. As soon as I see someone who can't make a distinction between "We should make sure people have health care" and "We should send a few million of our political enemies to break rocks until they die of exposure in Siberia", I assume they're simply too stupid to hold a reasonable conversation.
If it was good enough, sure.

The problem is that it bypasses sandboxes and isolation features... normally, JavaScript running in a VM in a sandbox in your browser cannot read all of your memory. With meltdown, that could be possible. Although for that scenario, you need to combine Meltdown with Spectre variant 1, allowing you to read arbitrary kernel memory from JavaScript in a browser.

Guy here, I genuinely don't want kids and honestly can't see that ever changing.
It is very difficult for those who have already had children to consider, if in retrospect, it was the right decision. Once you have children it is no longer a cool, abstract decision. The subject in question (the child) has been made real and it is difficult to reflect on the decision to have children without considering the living, breathing person in front of you and how that person would not have existed had you chosen otherwise.

According to their systems, anyone can learn to be more efficient, more focussed, more effective in the pursuit of happiness and, that most hallowed of modern traits, productivity. And if you can’t, well, that’s on you.

The thing that really gets me about self-help stuff (and a lot of clinical psychology, for that matter) is that there's very little consensus about what actually works, yet the followers of any given approach are generally pretty quick to blame you if their preferred method doesn't work for you. In the face of a failed attempt, a goddamned laundry list of previously unspoken caveats and requirements appears to "explain" how you failed the method rather than the method failing you.

Society has lost its way if arguably one of our most fundamental, carnal functions is too burdensome to carry out. Whether the burden is monetary (day care, cost of goods) or social (sports, parties), there's got to be a reckoning coming. There's no way we can sustain this way of life.

We haven't had to make decisions solely based on survival and bloodline continuation for a long time.

We're also capable of meta-cognition, so even if some realize that they may want children, they might reason that it's an infeasible idea.

Further, some people simply would rather spend the time for themselves. Personally, I grew up in a below poverty line single parent home and would like to spend time and money for myself and my SO now that I'm doing OK financially.
I would love to see a comparison between similarly aged mothers in countries with more equal gender benefits for child rearing (Scandinavia? France?) and those where mothers are still the de facto responsible for the day to day labor.

Part of this might be caused by the need for a two parent income to survive. It means that the default parent has two jobs, whatever their ambition might be.
You're completely correct. The assets and liabilities do balance out, and the bank isn't creating a $720k profit.

The total money supply has grown though. From an initial $300k, they now have 4 people who all, looking at their bank statements, have deposits totaling $1M. If they all tried to withdraw that at the same time, there'd be trouble, but fractional reserve banking rests on the assumption that they won't.

And yeah, there's a pretty significant spread on interest rates between deposits and loans.

The GP post was talking about "creating a dollar". This is precisely how banks "create dollars". As those loans are repaid and the deposits are withdrawn, they're subsequently "destroying" those dollars from a money supply perspective.

As a data scientist I have wondered if this field is particularly suited to imposter syndrome. My formal background is economics, and every once in a while I become terrified at how little formal statistics I've studied, or large gaps in data structures etc. although I'm similarly surprised at how far I've gone by just going home and studying the basics when I run into something I don't know, and the gaps in knowledge some coworkers have in areas where I know more.

...although I have met a few genius data scientists who seemingly really can do everything. Although I'm pretty sure they are paid upwards of 300k.

Your logic here reminds me of this Onion article: https://www.theonion.com/report-finds-children-of-parents-of...

Nonetheless, common misconception that everyone on earth is having children. Nearly half of women in the U.S. have never had children. The exponential population growth that would follow from every single adult having at least one child every generation would be insane and absolutely unsustainable.

It seems like it could be a natural response to crowding in populations that people stop having children, or it could just be a result of people feeling uncertain about their future. Not sure, but either way, I know for an absolute undeniable fact that right now, I could not want anything less than having a child. I'd rather go to prison.

Besides, not everyone should be a parent. There's plenty of criminals with mental disabilities that make them hugely unfit parents even if they wanted to be. The world really would be a better place if said people simply chose not to procreate.
Kids are hard work, expensive, a huge responsibility (it's your job to make sure they don't end up entitled little assholes) and you have to give up a 3rd of your youth. I never wanted kids.

My oldest is heading to college in next fall and i am already feeling sad about how her daily absence is going to leave me feeling a bit empty.

They want Scandinavian socialism. But not sure how many want the higher taxes and lowered import tariffs. Most taxes in Denmark are at the local level. National income tax is less than 5 percent. Most people would be slightly amenable to higher taxes if they could be assured that it would be spent locally. I.e no major redistribution country wide. With high VAT, a highly regressive type tax, the middle class bears the tax burden. The rich live in Switzerland anyway

I worked remote for 4-6 months in 2010, and really hated it. My team of 3—I was the most junior—were all local and met at the office once every couple weeks.

I felt a pressure to always respond to pings and phone calls instantly, lest it be thought that I was slacking off. I felt guilty about going to the bathroom, let alone eating lunch or—god forbid—getting coffee from the Starbucks right outside my apartment building.

Yet at the same time, I wasn't very productive. If I hit a question or wasn't sure what to do next, it seemed to take forever to get "unstuck" without being able to walk over and have a conversation with my boss live. Phone and IM just didn't cut it. As a result, and beyond the "on-call" pressure, accountability felt low.

So it was the worst possible combination of a high pressure to be "present" for long/strange hours (some of our bosses were in Europe) combined with boredom and low productivity. There were instances where I didn't leave my apartment for days, and I looked like the guy in the second frame of the Oatmeal comic in the article. Thankfully, I lived with my girlfriend (now wife) who probably kept me healthy and sane.

It's only looking back that I realize how unhealthy this was for me, to the point where I'm typing this comment and thinking, "Holy shit, that's bad."

Years later, as a people leader, I'm a proponent of remote work, though feel strongly that there's no replacement for sitting physically* next to someone 20%+ of the time. I'm also extremely aware of the need to enable remote workers with process, technology, and culture to help them be successful. Without that foundation, people may have the same experience I did, and I don't want to put others in that position.

(* Video technology has made this better, and I know there are virtual presence technologies that can replace physical presence, but I still don't think there's a replacement for in-person human contact.)

Can't recall exactly where I saw it, but one of the major language designers (I think for Perl) was talking about how there was a plan to abstract some things like quotes such that a character used to quote a string in any spoken language would be a valid way to declare a string. This didn't seem to go so far as to also allow this for keywords, but for symbols the thought was that you could simplify things a little bit for others by not requiring only symbols common to an english keyboard.
A "smarter" language/parser has implications, though. It means your text editors & IDEs need to be more elaborate to handle it. It means new users have more to take in before they can be productive. It's more complexity and thus more effort to maintain. All in all, making a smarter language/parser means making a more expensive language/parser, and that means you're making a tradeoff that isn't always justifiable.
Single chinese characters are inputted with more than one key press on the keyboard, so it won't be much different.

You can test this by changing your input method to Japanese or Chinese. At least in Japanese, the sound of the character is typed out using english letters (romanji) and various options are presented for autocompletion.

You are right that reading characters is probably faster, though.

I first downvoted you, but then undid that, because what you believe or not is really none of my business.
Exactly. If you define socialism as totalitarian anticapitalism which effectively can't succeed and only can sustain itself by force and corruption, then one has answered the question already. Since socialism is defined by these bad things, it's bad.

If you have a broader definition of socialism which includes all democratic branches of Marxism such as social democracy and others, it's obvious in the other direction - socialism is not evil by definition (quite the opposite - people seem very happy in those countries).

So regardless of which definition you use, there is no debate. It's either definitely evil or definitely not evil.

There is a third layer to this, and that is the more philosophical questions of the first case: "is socialism in some way inherently 'evil'", or "could there be a successful soviet style socialist society" etc. While those arguments are perhaps interesting, they are usually not worth having. It suffices to say that corruption and totalitarianism is bad/evil. Those who practice it tend to do it under whatever flag is easiest.
Warranty upgrades, to be profitable, usually need to be charged at a price they exceeds the cost you would bear on average if you just covered repair/replacement out of pocket—as is the case with any insurance, which is what a warranty upgrade is—but quite often it's not an outright scam, because the seller wants a good consumer reputation to get repeat business.
It's hard enough to know what you want when you have it. Knowing whether you want something that you've never had and have only experienced vicariously is basically impossible.
