The US generally does not recognize moral rights. In this case though VARA might apply: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Artists_Rights_Act

The artist has the:

* right to prevent the use of one's name on any work the author did not create

* right to prevent use of one's name on any work that has been distorted, mutilated, or modified in a way that would be prejudicial to the author's honor or reputation

* right to prevent distortion, mutilation, or modification that would prejudice the author's honor or reputation

In this case, since they're keeping close to the original vision I doubt there's a VARA claim.

Today, most places that would commission a piece like this would make artists sign a VARA waiver.

Edit: also, I'm not a lawyer. I just play one on the internet.
We had a few books at home, but more at my grandparents and my mom worked as a librarian for awhile. Reading was always for enjoyment and fun, so it was easy to read when 'required.' I never struggled with standardized tests. I was shocked and disappointed if I wasn't somewhere in the 90+ percent range on a test, and once scored an 800 on the GRE.
How so? I believe I was addressing the fundamentals of OOP: Classes, methods, inheritance, overloading, visibility, etc.

Also, Rust, while allowing the assigning of behavior to a type, is explicitly not OOP. Check it's Wikipedia page (which doesn't include OOP in the list of paradigms) and the O'Reilly book (which says Rust isn't OOP).
You are confusing inheritance of implementation with inheritance of interface.

The consensus is to use inheritance of interfaces and use composition to implement the interfaces.

Hence my phrasing: "Inheritance is better achieved through composition".

I suspect a lot of comfort with what happens with credit cards in the United States comes from people believing that their card issuer will simply handle the problem if any fraudulent or merely unauthorized charges appear. There's no risk from the card going out of sight if the card is useless because the card issuer will reverse charges upon request. (Moving to chips, even with signature, is supposed to alleviate the main source of fraud here, that being cloning the card.)

That said, I'm with you; I much prefer to have my card handled just once and within sight. It is faster, safer, and, to my mind, simply more convenient.

The majority of people can't live on 50% of wages further the person may actually be underpaid and looking for a job that pays what they are actually worth. Example the person is paid 25k at a present employer looking at getting 35k.

That person who can't choose to make 12.5k in the short run will accept 25k instead forever.

If companies can't legally implement no poaching agreements to keep employees wages down I don't see why they should be able to do so with non competes.
> my view on OOP (let OOP denote class based OOP as found in Java or C++)

Maybe you should take a look at a real OOP language like Smalltalk before you tell us why OOP is a bad idea. Otherwise, I might tell you why consumers will never adopt cars as I drove a Trabant once.

My biggest question wasn't answered: is it faster?

Using JIRA is a pain, and I really hope they address it in the redesign.
Exactly, you get a tangle of objects and data that's impossible to reason about, and isn't made explicit in the types.
OOP has no built-in facilities to deal with multi-threading.
It's orthogonal to it and that's a problem.

Thread safety can't be expressed or enforced and you can't grab a bunch of classes from somewhere and assume anything about their fitness for multi-threaded code.

Typically one has to carefully design a class for multi-threaded use. Reasoning about state inside objects then quickly becomes infeasible.
OK, on my (longer at 235886 words) /usr/share/dict/words, I find that:

sequential encoding: 21882 words overflow 2**64 (9.3%)

Some other trivia:

mean #bits for those words over 64 bits:
seq = 72.0; freq = 69.3
largest #bits:
seq = 115.4; freq = 101.0

I would like to point out the Portland Aerial Tram as an example of an infrastructure project that has an extremely strong focus on maintenance and repair (understandably so).

Here's a nice video from Oregon Health & Science University featuring the Tram's maintenance supervisor talking about the maintenance program and the impact it has on the Tram's performance.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShDGIQMbx4I

I don't think all infrastructure projects require this level of maintenance, but it's nice to see what's possible when it's baked into a project from the beginning.
Not by that graph, you don't. Pick a number in the middle: 2^24x10^6 words. That's 130TB, give or take. Sounds a lot, right? Not when you remember 16TB drives and 15 bay RAID enclosures exist...
I've recently started running a STEM club for girls. One of the lessons is about flight: what makes an airplane fly, and can we design a better airplane than the standard 6-fold-arrow?

I'll bet you equally good correlations can be found when the parents have a Kindle library that the kid doesn't have access to. You'd expect articles like this to have a paragraph, "The researchers controlled for biological heredity by ________" but it seems they don't want you to take them seriously.

Edit: Oh, they also show that growing up in a home full of books makes you more numerate, too. So, no surprise, there's a general intelligence factor involved that has nothing to do with books.
My problem with Square is they are so focused on their ecosystem that they basically ignore anyone that doesn't operate a traditional retail store or restaurant.

I'm really excited about Stripe Terminal as a developer, and I think they can eat Square's lunch by focusing on purely being the payment intermediary and letting 3rd parties develop solutions around their SDK (which supports web browsers in addition to mobile platforms, unlike Square which only supports iOS and Android and just recently divorced itself from requiring the Square app too).
You have to remember the impact that grant writing has on how scientific findings are shared. Unless the author "spices up" the science, there is a good chance they won't get another grant and their lab will close.

Example:
"Levels of plasticizers in urine across the US" - maybe you'll get another grant

Just take your original research, add in a few references to crappy studies that show a "possible link" to diabetes

"Plasticizer exposure possible link to diabetes epidemic" - oh, yeah, you'll get grant now

I know this because I helped write grants.
What about slave labor? Child labor? Should corporations have these choices available to them? If not, why not?

If the reason is ethical than why would we support sweatshop labor, or any other exploitative labor?

What exploited people need is not sweatshop jobs but access to capital and education. Invest in them, do not exploit them.
You say more appropriate, but Amazon did "virtually enter" the eBay store to attract these customers. If they had put up billboards or web advertisements or hell even handed out fliers, there would be no basis of complaint or unethical behavior.
One story houses are not inherently that expensive to modify. At 1150 SF they could probably replace it every 15 years for less than many modern 5000+ SF houses.

This is what was their public reasoning, but it ignores all the research and ideas in censorship circumvention from Tor, Signal, Telegram, why domain fronting didn't work and why collateral freedom doesn't work if there is a corporation to pressure, etc. At this point I believe it was entirely PR if not deception to centralize DNS.

It's hard to do short term commerical leases.

One the build out costs lots of money and if the owner doesn't renew you've lost $60,000.

Two if you end up with a successful coffee shop/bar/etc the owner can squeeze you out of every dime of profit because it's disastrous to most of these establishments to move.

It means that there's just not a lot of demand for short term commerical leases. Exceptions are seasonal stores like a Halloween or Christmas store who are happy to sign a short term lease, usually at a discount.

There is a typo on the chart data for gender breakdown. The pie chart shows 68.6% male, but based on the table data above (168 out of 194 respondents), the figure should be 86.6% male.
If you leave the EU, you might suffer by not being able to trade with the same boundary-free system that you got by being in the EU. This article is confused - yes there are different kinds of needs for those countries, but you get a lot of benefits, like not fighting wars, and open trade and no wasting time on borders. If you leave the EU, you will lose some of those benefits.
IRC is lacking in features but setup correctly with modern OTR I stand by it having easy to reason about security advantages Whatsapp and iMessage do not. (Usability is another story)

The fact that you can replace OTR with OTP in this sort of statement and it becomes even truer should tell you what a lousy argument for the practical security of anything it is.
My point is that earlier OOP documents did not implement generics.

When they were finally implemented in OOP, it superseded the original intentions of OOP.

The question is, are we now supposed to remove generics because they don't conform to the early literature of OOP?

Looks like the OOP edited his comment though, so my point is irrelevant.
You guys are really upping your game with content like this. I love your "Introduction to" blog posts, and it honestly helps more than the documentation ever could. Just don't burn out. Quick question regarding your Enterprise offering: Any chance to see some specific configurations and usage of your hardware boxes in blog post format? I see the pages and numbers, but there really isn't much to be desired when comparing it with just getting an off-the-shelf box and throwing a distro with HAProxy on it.
Yeah, except the "theory" that the fall of the Roman Empire was caused by lead exposure has been thoroughly debunked multiple times: not only were the Romans well-aware of lead poisoning, they also understood that lead piping is (generally) safe, Flint aside.

> So what's the plan for when IPv6 gains more adoption

Our great great grandchildren will surely figure something out.
Yes. My question wasn't if processors have split register files. The question was why the split is exposed at the instruction level instead of being hidden away as an implementation detail. Register renaming hardware is very common in modern processor designs and would make it very easy to make split physical register files look like a unified architectural register file.

I did a bit more reading, and both the IBM Cell and the Adepteva Epiphany processors expose unified register sets at the instruction level (architectural registers).

Many processors these days already contain the hardware to hide this away as an implementation detail, giving more design flexibility to the hardware designers. Furthermore, the processors that don't have register renaming hardware are likely to be small embedded processors that would benefit from not having split register files.

I don't know why you're bringing burden of proof into it. Of course people get fired for unjust reasons all the time. If those reasons are petty prejudices that have existed for the duration of humankind's existence, and that the best efforts of societal and political leaders have failed to stamp out, we use the sledgehammer of protected classes to try and limit the damage.

If the reasons have more to do with a massive, nation-wide disinformation campaign instigated by powerful political figures, those are some very particular problems that are not best fixed by putting additional shackles on those pesky private businesses.

"<thing> can be unjust if pursued to extremes" is not a provocative or substantive comment for any value of <thing>. But before I go on, let me seek clarification: for the purposes of this discussion, are you actually suggesting that political affiliation should be made a protected class? That seems like where this is going but I don't want to accidentally end up fighting a straw person.

Your statement reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of the scientific process.

If you watch things carefully in the scientific world, you'll notice every domain has hundreds or thousands of people actively researching in the field. Some individuals are on the cutting edge, they define what is worth researching next (usually by themselves), but the accepted knowledge is based on mountains of research from all over the world.

There are no authority figures. Science is iterative refinement of our understanding of the world through consensus acceptance of research results. I mean, this sentence:

> Yet how do we know these few are willing to take on the new information, and actually take it seriously, especially when so much money might be on the line for them.

is outright hilarious, and depressing, for someone who's done research. Scientists are smart people that care about advancing the frontier of knowledge - revolutionizing a field of research is the most desirable outcome. There is no money behind defending the status quo, because that isn't even science.

Science is the metaphorical tree of knowledge. A solid trunk made of facts like "2+2=4" and "Apples fall off trees", while the cutting edge is unproven branches near the top that may not survive the year... but everyone in the field knows and expects that.

The scientific process underpins every aspect of our modern era. It's how we went from room-sized computers calculating projectile trajectories to smart phones that support multi-player online virtual reality... in a single generation.

At the same time, someone who signs it might not know any of that. In that case, the contract does become "valid", because no one is going to challenge the validity of it.

You and I might know these clauses are unenforceable garbage, and we might be able to get a lawyer to send a nasty letter to the former company if they attempt to use it. However, that situation is not common for everyone, and unfortunately the most vulnerable in our society are the ones who get punished because of it.
This is not in any way answering your question, but do consider changing course to Canada &| Australia, both of which have established immigration programs that may make the move much smoother.

Glad to help.

Here's some additional comments you or some other reader might find useful:

Dimensional homogeneity is the most important constraint I think most machine learning folks would miss. It's not really an "inductive bias", rather something which everyone agrees models need to satisfy, so it should be baked in from the start. This is trivial to meet, actually; just make sure all of the variables are dimensionless and it's automatically satisfied. (Depending on the larger model, you might have to convert back to physical variables.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_analysis#Dimension...

In terms of "inductive biases", I'm not certain what that would entail in terms of turbulence, but I'll think about it. Might be something to figure out empirically.

Turbulence models which satisfy certain physical constraints are called "realizable". Some of these constraints are seemingly trivial, but not necessarily satisfied, like requiring that a standard deviation be greater than zero. (Yes, some turbulence models might get that wrong!) The "Lumley triangle" is a more advanced example of a physical constraint that a (RANS) model needs to satisfy that often is not satisfied.

I'd be interested in applying machine learning type methods (combined with the model order reduction approaches to include information from the Navier-Stokes equations), but I'm not knowledgeable about them. My impression is that most people applying machine learning to turbulence are novices at machine learning. And I imagine most machine learning people applying machine learning to turbulence are novices in turbulence and wouldn't know much anything about the realizability constraints I mentioned.

Another issue worth mentioning is experimental design. I think the volume of data needed to make a truly good turbulence model is probably several orders of magnitude higher than anything done today for turbulence. Experimental design could make this more efficient. I don't think most machine learning people worry much about this. They seem to focus on problems which can be run many times without much trouble. Acquiring data for turbulence is slow and hard, so it's outside their typical experience.
I think you're simply not used to it. Meals are almost always paid at the table here in Canada. Basically, the bill comes out, server either has or will come back with the machine, enters cost, hands it to you. You tip on the machine, tap, done. For higher end stuff or groups you break the $100 tap limit, so it's insert and enter pin, but it's still quick.

The speed of it is quick, and it also gives a good chance for wrapping things up (can we get this packed, thank-yous, goodbyes if it's a bigger group, etc).

Of course, it may also help that we have chip-and-pin and tap pretty universally, so we rarely hand our card over to anyone - having the server take the card is incredibly strange for me when I'm down in the US.
What about Elastic File System?
If this can always process chip cards that quickly, I'm very impressed. Usually it's at least 10 seconds, just standing there staring at the card reader, waiting.
The marks in the first photo are done by a stone chisel (or something similar), not the kind of marks that a pick axe would make normally. Very different tools with different purposes.

But I see where you are going.

https://per-storemyr.net/2013/01/22/stone-extraction-with-pi...

The fact that a pick axe can be used like a chisel does not mean that it couldn't produce other types of marks also.
US answer:

If I was doing it, the first thing I would do is look into CLEP (College Level Examination Program) tests. About $30 a Credit hour I believe. You can knock out 2 years of school with it. To be fair, some are not easy.

Like someone else mentioned look at community colleges. Different states have different nomenclature. But generally public College is the first step, then University to finish.

If you are thinking IT, I would recommend Western Governors. It is online, you pay per 6 months, and you can take as much as you can handle. In theory you could graduate in 6 months, but I doubt that is practical.

Counterpoint: it's terrible. A lack of a lockfile is a killer, plus it not really fitting well with the general ecosystem (it's not really a python dependency manager). It's an all or nothing tool, which sucks to be honest

Now most projects have wheels pip is pretty damn good.

The conda CLI is also just terrible. It's good for ad-hoc research, but for big deployments? No thanks, I've had enough pain using it.

Smalltalk OOP looks almost exactly like Erlang gen_servers and shares a lot of nice properties with them. Unfortunately the concept has been twisted into it's current day meaning that's akin to the OOP we find in Java, C++ etc.
I prefer the privacy of the waiter going and coming back - there are a lot of social norms involved in "getting the check" and bringing the terminal to the table would really disrupt that, possibly for the better but who knows.

Imagine going out with some clients and getting "insufficient funds" notice what an embarrassment that would be...the waiter acts as a buffer or could in some cases get your attention.

But your definitely right from a security perspective and privacy this is much better...other than the insane fees they collect :)
