I'm probably over-claiming. Taylorism was around before OR and I suspect most production/work studies were in Taylorism and time-and-motion not OR. The references to OR in Angus Calders book are PMS Blackett and Solly Zuckerman which are more directly related to war/strategy outcomes than production side and labour efficiency.

I still recommend reading Calder, but I would take what I said with a pinch of salt.

OK, I'm convinced that Mastodon is evil. I'm quite able to avoid what I don't like. And I don't want anyone else deciding for me.

Edit: Damn, that was a stupid comment, but I'll leave it as penance. I just wasn't seeing that Mastodon is perfectly setup for compartmentalization. So my Mirimir persona would have an account on some instance that focused on privacy, security and anonymity. And I would be protected from off-topic trolls. But I could have other unlinked personas on other instances, with different topics and blocking criteria. That's very cool.

It’s interesting though, China does appear to have a much stronger commitment to radio astronomy than the US (at least that’s how the article characterizes it).

I wonder why that is? The article didn’t really discuss why radio astronomy is so attractive...
Coinbase Planning to Set Up Its Institutional Core Principles for Business
Thinking back it was probably due to currency swings for NZD <-> USD. There was a period of few years back then when the exchange rate could be anywhere between $0.40 USD and $0.75 USD. So $1000 USD could mean very different amounts in NZD depending on exactly when my hazy memories were thinking about.

There were also various Taiwanese earthquakes and resin factory fires etc that probably caused me to remember the price spikes better than the average prices. Well that's my excuse :)
If Venmo were the only cash-transfer app of its kind, then fine. But there are plenty of better options out there. Apple Pay Cash, the iPhone maker’s Venmo-equivalent, requires two-factor authentication on your Apple ID to start making payments. It was also rated the best peer-to-peer payment app by Consumer Reports earlier this month, largely for its robust security protections. One downside: You can only use it to transfer money between Apple devices.

npm works because you can have lodash v3 and lodash v4 existing at the same time, at runtime. Node sees two pieces of code at different locations on disk, and loads them twice, considering them to have no relationship.

This means that a library can turn its API completely inside out and not cause dependency hell. Your dependencies can update their sub-dependencies in their own time. This means there's no pressures against releasing new updates, and leads to the beautiful and very productive chaos that is npm.

Java is not designed to work this way.
> There's a reason people created Kotlin, there's clearly shortcomings in the Java language which did not move fast enough.

Kotlin was created mainly because IntellJ couldn't move on from Java 6. It's a huge improvement, but you've just used the same type of mindset stuck at Java 6 that's being criticised.
But it didn't tell you that such processors do exist, you just need a 2nd c3 register. It's not rocket math.
I mainly use Elm these days because it does exactly what it says on the tin: it helps me build robust client-side applications and fight off technical debt, which is a harder problem to solve than accumulating abstractions.

It's kind of like how Java and Go are shitty when all you want to do is masturbate over clever solutions, but there's something to appreciate about them for that same reason.
Those bugs and inconsistencies are really just manifestations of the complicated history of the language. There are few languages which have as many diverse parent languages as English has.
We can call it “most advanced” when it actually works.

The US and Europe also don’t have inferiority complexes where they feel like they have to build the tallest or biggest anymore. Look at skyscraper competitions — generally 2nd tier countries trying to outdo each other for bragging rights but for no real other reason. It’s like the Soviet Olympic team — they had to win to make the political statement trunpeting a triumph of communism. The US did the same thing once upon a time, but then we grew up (and not necessarily for the better.. it’s a lot of fun to be “first, bigger, best.”) 1990s Korea, modern China, 1950s USA, the Soviet Union — those places and eras were representative of a national need to foster patriotism to create unity against real or perceived competitors on the world stage as well as remind the proles of the power and achievements of their benevolent state.

“At other telescopes, astronomers are developing machine-learning algorithms that could identify, extract, and compensate for dirty data“

About 20 years ago, Motorola had a large plant in Boynton. Employed a few thousand engineers working on paging systems and eventually cellular telephony. Lots of it moved up to Chicago later on, but not all of it.

So doesn't this mean supervised learning sort? In other words, restricted domain sort? In that case, I don't think O(n) should be surprising. Radix sort, for example, is also O(n) for restricted input.
not entirely true. they prevent veiwing of posts from anonymous users. I have no doubts that the blacklisting isn't helping them debug that issue. I just keep an account on there and cross post when it's relavent.
I mean, yes and no. That's why this is a semantic debate. There are no right or wrong. Paradigms of programming are not formal concepts.

Some people say the essence of OOP is polymorphism. Others say it is inheritance. Others say it is the tying together of data and behavior.

I personally find issue with saying OOP is just ADTs + polymorphism. Which is what rust traits, go interfaces and java interfaces are.

Type A
Type B
function F(value) {
switch(typeof value) {
case A: "I am A."
case B: "I am B."
}
}

There, I have achieved object oriented programming. I have values with an identity, A or B, and I have polymorphic functions over them.

I don't know, it feels too broad to be useful.

That's why I prefer to say that OOP is more related to the tying together of data and behavior behind an object. This is how the Gang of Four book defines OO.

I find it frames things in a way that is more differentiating.

So now I can have OO, inheritance and polymorphism in any combination I want. This means Clojure/Script can now be defined as supporting inheritance and polymorphism, which it does, yet not supporting OO. And I can have another language supporting OO and polymorphism, but not inheritance, such as Rust. Or without OO and inheritance, but with polymorphism like Go, etc.

Generally speaking, getting a job is about being & sounding like someone the interviewer(s) can relate with.

Let's say you work at a big company in an environment that does not prioritize testing. You are heading into an interview at a smaller startup that LOVES testing. When one of the startup interviewers asks you how you feel about testing, they want you to answer the question in a way that makes it sound like you'd be enthusiastic & competent at testing "all the things". If you say "I don't have time to write tests at work", you're almost certainly not going to get the job. If you say "I love testing, I write tests whenever I can, a certain employer I may or may not currently work for makes it hard to me to increase test coverage, and that's a factor in why I'm taking the time to interview with you", you're going to almost certainly get the interviewer's attention in a good way. The other part of selling yourself is that you, as far as this employer is concerned at least, really need to love testing.

Get it?

So what does it take for you to look & sound like the person who would get the job at Amazon, Cloudflare, or Coinbase? What does it take to be like what you sound need to sound like? Can you get that experience at work by taking initiative? For the experience you can't get at work, what can you do to get it outside of work? Do you need to buckle down and tear through Cracking The Coding Interview & LeetCode exercises? Do you need to work on a personal project that showcases the skills you can't develop at work? Figure those things out as best you can, push yourself super hard, and you'll get one of those shiny jobs that breaks you out of your current career paradigm.

Also, don't overlook the value of being really good at something people really need. That's a basic supply and demand thing. If you're a badass VB6 developer or MUMPS developer, those are simply not a hot skillset for almost any employer these days.
I just built one of these. It's fun to have a little computer that can synchronize highly accurate time without an internet connection by listening to things in outer space!

I built an auto-install script that anyone here is welcome to use or reference[1]. If you know what you're doing, just change the GPIO pin to your PPS input and fire away.

Unlike the author I used Chrony instead of NTP. It's lighter-weight and much easier to configure with a PPS/GPS reference clock.

The GPS chip I used was an ATGM336H, which can be had for less than $8 on ebay. I'm able to lock consistently 11 satellites from my desk[2]

Keep in mind the Pi has no hw RTC. If you're doing this for fun spend a few more bucks and buy an rtc chip from ebay so you don't drift considerably between being powered off.

How do you create the requirements.txt file - by hand, or by pip freeze? If by hand, how do you make sure to lock the versions of your transitive dependencies? If by pip freeze, how do you keep track of what you actually depend on as opposed to what your dependencies depend on?

How do you update your dependencies? Do you modify requirements.txt directly? If so, how do you keep it in sync with setup.py? How do you find updated versions of your dependencies - do you search pypi by hand and then update the file? Or, do you leave the versions of your dependencies unlocked in requirements.txt and ask pip to re-install everything to pull in the updated ones? And if its the latter case, how do you then lock them down again so that if you do multiple deployments you'll always get the same set of dependencies installed?

I'm really not trying to say that there is anything wrong with the way you work - for some types of work, these aren't big issues. And, if these issues don't matter for your use case, well, that's awesome and keep on rocking it. However, for use cases where these issue do matter, the current Python dependency landscape is a bit of a dumpster fire - there are 50 ways to do everything and none of them work well. And worse, none of them really seem designed to solve the problem. And its not like its the UNIX philosophy at play, where tools are designed to solve one problem at a time and you can solve complex problems by composing them. I've spent a ton of time trying to make a reasonable workflow that handles the update and deploy lifecycle well, and no combination of tools seems to do it. (Except poetry - that tool, while not perfect, seems to actually be trying to fix this).

> Eclipse has its own Java compiler that does incremental compilation on file save.

Unfortunately, this seems to be the other kind of incremental compilation, different from Smalltalk's or Lisp's. As far as I can see, it simply results in faster compilation, and not in run-time program modification.
It sounds like your interview team is projecting their own biases onto the interview candidates. I have a hard time believing that you were able to unroll enough of the candidates' work experiences to arrive at your conclusions objectively.
I can highly recommend shorthand. I had the same desire. It's only been 2 years and some change for me, but I can write at about 80% of my typing speed last I measured it. It's wayyyy faster than my normal writing and my hand "switches gears" automatically when I start to write fast.

Here's a blog post that's unrelated, but you can see a little bit of my shorthand writing in the first photo.

I started with Ford Shorthand (.com) and then added onto it from there. Anyway, can definitely recommend.
True, but that’s mostly because we papered over the disaster with debt. Personal, student, sovereign and total debt are extremely high.

Not that anyone minded - QE was considered a success and allowed the businesses it protected to stay afloat

But I do think it could setup the next recession to be harsher.

Recessions in the 70s and 80s were bad, but pretty short. Businesses went bust, assets were dumped for pennies, and then 18 months later it was done.

There’s some healthy clean up and fresh starts that happen after a typical recession. I guess time will tell what works best.

Personally I don’t think the business cycle of boom and bust can be solved with debt in the long run.
That's funny. Cray came out of UMN. He basically made CDC and Cray Research, which of course made the history of computing.
I learned the Shavian alphabet a few years ago, and gradually built up a list of transliterations as I read a few ebooks partially converted over (read a bit, add some more words, repeat). I had to make the font characters too (for Deja Vu, but I didn't contribute them back as mine seemed a bit amateurish).

What made me give up is recognising just how different spellings would be in different dialects - it means you lose the whole-word recognition that lets you read quickly. Unfortunately that would likely be the case for any English spelling reform effort.

I subsequently lost most of my (NZ English) transliterations too, if I remember correctly.

Why? How about the direct military applications? Resolving the signal from a distant black hole, the true light against a haze of static, is exactly how you detect the low-level radar reflection of a stealthy aircraft, or the sound of a submarine against the background of pistol shrimp. Teasing out information from a tiny radio signal, even using radio to image objects, that definitely has a military use.
I prefer Quikscript:

"To provide field testing of the new alphabet [Shavian], Read organized a lengthy public testing phase of Shavian by some 500 users from around the world who spoke different dialects of English. Once he had analyzed the results of those tests, Read decided to revise Shavian to incorporate a number of changes to improve the alphabet and make it both easier and faster to write. He called the revised alphabet "Quikscript"..."[1]

The main advantage of Shavian is that it is part of unicode while Quikscript isn't. I'm not sure why that's the case. I'd have expected it to be the other way around.

Since gruez mentioned it, I'll note Intel also pushed Itanium which had security benefits almost nobody talks about in x86 vs Itanium discussions. Secure64, co-founded by Itanium designer, uses them in SourceT OS which they claimed got positive analysis by Matasano Security.

https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents...

They also claimed the Itanium-based solutions were immune to Spectre and Meltdown. I'm not a CPU expert. I'll let others review that. A lot of attacks are showing up.

https://secure64.com/not-vulnerable-intel-itanium-secure64-s...

So, the processor that was about stronger reliability and security that the market and mainstream security ignored seems to mitigate some of the risks both are now griping about. Maybe folks who don't depend specifically on x86 might buy some Itaniums to signal they'll pay for security-enhanced processors. Be sure to tell the sales rep why so they can pass it up the chain. :)

For embedded stuff, there's also Microsemi's CodeSEAL and Dover's CoreGuard which have advanced protections. The first has encrypted/authenticated RAM plus control-flow integrity at CPU level. The second has a flexible, metadata unit that enforces many types of security policies at CPU level on per-instruction basis.

Except without those loans, poor people will have to grind out low paying jobs trying to save up enough money to go to college and get a higher paying job that requires a degree because they have no money to pay for it. Then, when they finally get through college, they will be years behind the kids of wealthy people and to make matters worse, every year you delay putting off a degree decreases the future value of said degree since you generally have a limited amount of working years and thus less years to earn money from said degree.

"What made me give up is recognising just how different spellings would be in different dialects - it means you lose the whole-word recognition that lets you read quickly."

Losing the ability to read quickly is its big Achilles heel of Shavian and Quikscript.

This can be mitigated somewhat as you get used to spelling things mostly the same way and reading your own spellings, but when you have to read someone else's writing it's back to sounding out the words in your head, which will slow down reading speed to a crawl compared to reading traditional English orthography.

I had one of these running with a 10 meter cable to the window so the receiver could get enough satellites. After 24/7 for about a year it just died and I haven't had time to figure out what's wrong. Lights blink but it's not reachable via ping, ssh or scp. HDMI output shows nothing. I had to move on to other projects, so I gave up and assumed I either got hacked or I hit the cheap-SD-card problem of corruption that seems to plague other users running their Pi continuously for longer periods.

I've started buying SanDisk's "High Endurance" microSD cards hoping it will mitigate any such issues in the future, but I haven't had time to get the NTP set up again... I really should have cloned the image.
