CRISPR is Going to be Replaced
Literally 20% of the lines of the poem are spent saying there is NO discernable difference in how much the two roads have been traveled. Another 10% are saying the roads both look great and he'd like to travel on each of them. Then the conclusion -- the only bit most people remember -- is explicitly said to be what he will say "ages and ages hence". There is zero indication that's what he actually thinks at the time the poem is written.

The argument in this article isn't some sophisticated take on the poem. It's just a straight literal reading of what the poem says. The only bit that's in any way fancy is recognizing that when the poet says he's going to say something (instead of just directly saying that something) you might have to think about why the poet is putting things in that very roundabout way.

"And states will purposefully make it harder to get an ID"

You're in charge of your state; keep it in line, don't be a victim.

Mine has been forced to give out free state ID cards. Not nominal fee, but $0 cost. You don't need any money to get the required docs to get a non federal real ID card. Real ID compatible cards are also free if you have the docs, but if you don't have the docs you can't live in legal society anyway.

My MiL and UiL are both too old/frail to drive (I'm older than some HN posters) and they have free state ID cards, so I am very recently extremely familiar with this situation.

The flip side of this is that an editor that relies on plugins for many features is kind of forced to have good APIs, or plugins authors wouldn't/couldn't make those plugins.

> Why teach C++? Some students might not prefer that to C#.

Between these two there is very little to choose in terms of concepts the students would be exposed to. I would assume that teaching either of those would aim to teach the underlying concepts of object orientated programming.

The questions that need to be asked instead are:
What concepts would building an editor plugin expose students too? And is this the best way to introduce those concepts? (NB I am assuming University level where contact time for taught material is only really enough to introduce concepts not to really go into details.)

No, did someone say they were?

Indeed

I'm not entirely sure what your point is. Functional and OO aren't mutually exclusive.
1. MIT has maybe 5% of funding from tuition. Students are clamoring to go there.

2. True

3. All data seems to suggest showing kids complex problems leads to more learning. "Too hard, too soon" isn't really a rational argument. At MIT it didn't really weed out students either; kids did okay.

4. Nope, nope, and nope. Of those languages, only Python has high productivity. C/C++ is obsolete for anything other than systems programming. The selling point of Java are cheap, interchangeable programmers with a standardized skill set. Small, elite shops do Lisp. But that's not the point. A freshman course isn't designed to be vocational career training, but to give fundamentals. MIT students learned other languages (including Java) in their degree paths as well. This was a freshman course.

By analogy, are you arguing that we have FAR more criminals committing traffic violations such as speeding than we do serial killers, therefore we should have no laws against serial killing and only punish people who speed on the interstate?

It helps to get at least a basic level of understanding of some core computer science/engineering subjects:

- Algorithms and Data Structures

- Operating Systems

There are more but it helps to at least learn the fundamentals of these two. If you feel up to it, there are these too:

- Computer Organisation

- Compilers

There are more which you could look at depending on your interests: Computer Networks, Computer Graphics, Databases, Computer Architecture, Programming Languages, Theory of Computation, Distributed Systems

Many of these can be learnt from a good online course or a good textbook

Besides these, I found it very helpful to try and contributed to big free software projects. The standards are high and you'll get a lot of feedback on your patches. If you pick a project like something by Mozilla, you'll also have bugs/tasks specifically earmarked for people who are new contributors.

I forgot to add: Reading good code really helps. However, for this, I found that the most effective way was to try and fix a bug or add a feature which leads again to my suggestion above. This way, you have a 'purpose' with which you read code and it helps navigate a large codebase.

Good luck!
There is a vast amount of material to cover in a University course and very limited time to do so. There is only really time to introduce concepts if enough material is to be covered.

Intel Xeon Platinum 8180 is currently sold for $10k USD each, it comes with 28 cores. For 48 cores and 12 memory channels, you can almost be assured to see a price tag of close to $20k USD. So basically when they fail to come up with some better architectures to face the competition from AMD, they choose to glue up their out of date designs (out of date when compared with Zen2 based new Epyc line) and sell you as a bundle without significant price cut!

To be honest, I am not surprised - we are talking about a company that worked so hard for 10 years to fool its customers on why they don't need more than 4 cores on desktops. The whole joke is so INTEL!
I wouldn't say the author's intended message or skill doesn't matter at all [0]. While how it makes you feel is what ultimately matters most, the author's thoughts/intentions/context can and should significantly affect the meaning you take from the artwork [1].

To completely ignore original intent would be like using "exception proves the rule" at face value (one of my personal pet peeves).

[0]: Directly interpreted from "all that matters".

[1]: I'd also agree that people get caught up in the who/how and lose sight of just enjoying things, which is clearly what the quote was trying to convey.

> I'm not sure if this answer is in anything posted, however: 1) is that claim of someone with a "crushed spine denied an ambulance" proven, and 2) is "because it would've shown up on OSHA logs" proven as Tesla's reasoning, or just conjecture and/or speculation?

1) The source is named, and to be included in the article would've likely provided medical records backing up his assertions. Not to mention the fact that Tesla (which has previously demonstrated its willingness to go the media to try and discredit former employees) has not denied his claims.

2) There are multiple sources in the article that mention being taught by lawyers how to deny care in a way that avoids legal requirements to log incidents.

That says more about you than the source, Reveal has broken a number of extremely important stories and won many awards for doing so.

> Apple lent me a high-end configuration for review — 6-core i7, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD

The problem is that the i7 has hyper-threading, which creates a giant security hole in your system. I'd be much more interested in the i5 benchmarks, since the i5 (supposedly) does not have hyper-threading.
could you expand on that? What exactly is preventing you from proxying your blog through cloudflare?

Since most other companies tend to copy Apple like sheep, Apple dropping Intel would be a huge blow to Intel's image and brand.
Isn't registering as an independent the equivalent of registering without party affiliation?
It doesn't seems Apple is interested in using AMD CPU / APU in their products, otherwise they would have a decent iGPU along side.

I was expecting the Intel + AMD GPU combo to end up in this Mac mini, turns out not.
I think this is possible if the Tesla’s electricity is coming from burning coal, which produces ~double the CO2 emissions per unit energy compared with gas. (Though this seems annoying to actually calculate, so I haven’t.)

You would not be looking at efficiency from a energy/$ perspective, which is what industry power generators care about, but rather energy/ton of CO2, which they rarely care about.
In my experience as a student (and as a prof), being taught concepts without an opportunity to apply them is virtually useless. The course is a special topics on dev tools.
Our experience with the Google cost increase was similar. We were paying around $550/mo for the GMaps Platform pre-price-change. Over 80% of this cost was for dynamic maps usage. The rest was for use of the Google Places API.

When I got the notification in May that the rates were increasing, I didn't take it that seriously. We have a profitable company and I would have been more than happy to pay Google twice their rate for the premium services they offer. Nobody ever expects a sudden rate increase to be more than 20%, 30% or 40%, right???!

It was in July that the gravity of the situation hit me. I was seeing tweets and articles lamenting the rate increase. I thought to myself "huh, I better check this out". I did some quick math using the new rate card and nearly had a heart attack! Our bill was estimated to be ~$14,500 and the CLOCK WAS TICKING. We were facing a 2600% rate increase and had only 2 months to figure out a game plan. Our business was on the line!

I immediately determined that we were eligible for bulk pricing. However, Google will not sell you the bulk rates directly. You have to contract with an authorized 3rd party (re-seller, basically) to get the rates. So, we found a reseller and locked in the bulk rates. That brought our estimate down to around $12,000/mo. Better, but still a huge shock.

The next step was optimization. There was no way for us to reduce dynamic maps usage because it is such a core part of our products. So, we cut off almost all of our Places API usage and started using other services. Our estimated bill was now down to $9,000.

That's where we are today. We just got our first full month bill. It was a huge hit to our business, wiping out a significant portion of our profitability.

To be frank, I am pissed about this. I was more than happy to pay Google far more than they were charging us. We were always under the impression that rates would increase one day. But, to force an increase of this magnitude with such a short amount of lead time is pretty f&^%ing sh*&$tty coming from a billion dollar giant.

We're starting to test other mapping services. I met with a team member from Mapbox last week and am planning on testing their platform in December. Their quote for our usage needs? $550/mo.
Making it easier to obtain an ID is a much harder fight. It’s not just a matter of tweaking the law. You also have to make sure the opposition doesn’t pull dirty tricks to throw a wrench in the works.

For example, it’s common for a state ID to be freely available at any DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) office. Great, it’s easy to obtain ID! Except the opposition won control of the state government and closed half of the DMV offices in areas that vote against them, and the other half are so understaffed that you have to take a full day off work to get your ID.

This is not a hypothetical, by the way. It has played out repeatedly across the US.
From the link:

That seems to contradict your claim, and I haven't seen that refuted elsewhere.

Looks like all the outputs have smaller dimensions than the inputs. How would you go the other way?
You are getting awfully close to eugenics. That points not only at the moral problem with your willingness to sort human life into desirable/undesirable. It also offers a clue as to the accuracy of this mechanism: If these fascists one hundred years ago were making the exact same prediction you are making, and yet the world today is not overrun by these supposedly reproduction-happy Untermenschen... then maybe it just doesn't work like that?

More specifically: this fear is based on observed heritability of traits like intelligence, and also social status etc. While these are indeed hereditary, they quickly dissipate when considering more than a single generation.
That's a good side-effect indeed!

I found it quite easy for IntelliJ as well though. (At work we develop some in-house ones as well though they are for specific use cases).
If we got all the speeders, the impact on everyone would be significant. Like all cars broadvast their speed all the time, by way of voter ID requirement.

So we do not bother.

That said, my state autoregisters people as they come of age and get an ID. Vote by mail has high participation rates.

People can walk into an elections office and vote if they have some difficulty. Doing that is free, they just gotta get there.

People even run ballots out to voters. I did that volunteer work one year. Was cool actually. I helped voters vote.
Now that I think about it, axing the optical audio ports was probably a deliberate move by Apple to nudge home TV users of mac minis into using Apple TVs, where they have way more control over the interface and content.

edit: apparently Apple TV doesn't have optical audio either.
I'm curious what the alternative you'd suggest here is, then. The options I'm aware of mostly clump into a few options that I like even less:

Editors like emacs and vim where getting plugins installed involves just as much of a scattered forest of different options with varying levels of quality and support, only the installation process is more manual. Also Eclipse fits here.

IntelliJ or Visual Studio, which have great support for their primary languages, and plugin ecosystems that taper off very quickly (in terms of both quantity and quality) compared to vscode. Also, all your RAM are belong to us.

Single-language IDEs like PyCharm or Flash Builder.
I'd hope that "So you don't want to do anything important with your life?" wasn't in a script, and was an individual recruiter being a manipulative asshole - and once this was found out about by management (and hopefully they investigated and could find out who said it) the recruiter was then told to not say such thing again - and fired if they did.

I can't really reply to anything else you posted, there's reasonable counter-points to all of it. You shouldn't blindly trust any one source of course, and excitement/emotion for someone or an organization doing something good can prevent use from critical thinking. At the same time, it's important to understand what it means for a company to be the most shorted stock in history - and the amount of effort, and financial gain, that will come to people purposely trying to put down Tesla et al.

Good can come from this process if everyone involved is being reasonable. Is it good that someone who asked for an ambulance to go to the hospital, instead after an assessment by an onsite doctor, were said to take a Lyft? It clearly wasn't life threatening in that doctor's eyes to require the life-stabilizing ability/necessity of an ambulance - I suppose that person sharing their story might not be talking to us then today. Likewise, is the issue that Tesla is purposefully trying to avoid "an ambulance being called" to avoid a log in OSHA records? I doubt it, however this does highlight that the processes and requirements for OSHA likely need to be updated: so that if there are on-site doctors who do an assessment, then that also gets into the log. I imagine it's more likely an incomplete/inadequate process of reporting because how many work places have on-site doctors 24/7? Not very many I'm guessing.
It's not exactly the opposite of the meaning... it's more that the last three lines are framed as how he will one day describe the choice he just made, even though he has already described that choice in a way that makes clear his future description is going to be largely BS.
That's called the "collective action problem", and the single most effective solution is called "law".
In the US, an ambulance trip can cost thousands. Also, if after being treated / examined, your insurance decides you didn't need the ambulance, they often won't cover it.
Northern Virginia was chosen for it's proximity to existing data centers (us-east), proximity to a growing AWS government client base, the size of the workforce, and possibly the consideration that they will win and service the DoD JEDI contract. Companies like Amazon rarely lobby directly. They typically use industry groups.
Is anyone worried that Apple's transition to their own CPUs will render these x86 machines obsolete very fast? How long did it take for the pre-x86 Macs to fall behind when the software started focusing on x86 instead?
ID is free at your local DMV office... which is a five minute drive away if you’re in an area that votes properly, and a three-hour bus ride with eight transfers if you’re not.
