These are abusing/using the facility modern fonts have to elaborate ligatures that modify the display of characters when they sit next to each other. Which is very straightforward once you know how it works but as you've learned is confusing when you haven't and are looking at these things for the first time in a code sample.

If you copy and paste these examples into a text editor, the font won't have the ligatures and you'll see the characters as you'd expect. They're not inserting weird codepoints to display the symbols; there's a literal < and = next to each other and the font renderer looks them up in a table and renders the mathematical less-than-or-equal symbol.

English script doesn't have many ligatures (ff, and fi are common ones, the bars on the ff are combined, and the dot on the i is subsumed into the bar of the f) but some languages and scripts have lots, I think Arabic does. Cursive English is all ligatures since letters join up differently depending on the letters next to them.

I didn't have the experience either one of you did, unfortunately.

The other side of my family sought me out when I was 26. My siblings are all 20 years older than me and my nieces and nephews all 6-10 years younger than me. They're nice people but they lived fairly normal New England Catholic upper-middle-class lives. I pretty much grew up broke and on the street in the seedier areas of old New York. We have very little in common.

It's probably my fault that everything didn't gel, but it's difficult accepting a completely new family as an adult when you already have struggles with your existing one.

Moreover, my father was a complete creep and I learned why my mother stayed away from him. The whole experience was very uncomfortable and very sad and we haven't spoken since.

There's no replication crisis. The replication failures are the only thing that is properly done.

Not at all. To qualify I would need to be defending MBS.

On balance the US causes substantially more human suffering in the world than all other terror groups and despots combined.

It’s strange that character attacks on MBS work so well to make Americans assume that the US must be the good guy.

In the US there is a tremendous appeal to the narrative that the US is the (relative) good guy. American exceptionalism is a religion and it easily leverages the widespread white suoremecist views of Americans who already mistrust the brown folks.

So beware of reinforcing the American exceptionalism dogma when you cite “whataboutism”. It is often budled into that critique.
I've been doing it in production at a rate of a few million individual asynchronous transactions per day for five years now.

It adds a lot of complexity to the client that this article doesn't touch on. The client has to maintain state or you have to provide a means for it to reconstruct it's state. Clients can misbehave in ways that weren't as likely with simple synchronous creates.

Where ever we can, we favor things like websockets and webhooks to push state back to the client. Unfortunately, that isn't always possible and doing something like this article describes is the best option.

I haven't looked at this study, but prior replication studies have found that the effects were reproduced in almost every study, but that the effects were weaker in the replication than in the original study.[0]

That raises different questions than 'psychology studies are all wrong', and I'm still waiting to see a serious discussion of them. So far, what I see is news (studies not replicated) and condemnation (like this article), from which I don't learn much.

[0] That's not necessarily a condemnation of the researchers: Imagine a set of studies that, each time they are performed, have a 50-50 chance of producing the strong effects or weak effects. Which studies in that set are going to be the ones that you read about? It could be selection by randomness.
You're arguing that it was meet and right for Cetus to claim ownership

No, I'm claiming that it should not have been surprising that the agreement for someone who worked there included such claims. How I personally feel about it is irrelevant; it's a standard practice, and to be expected.

What I am arguing with is your repeated use of terms like "visitor", to make it sound like the guy just popped in for lunch one day and they claimed all his work. He worked there. They trained and taught him. While there are contexts in which "visitor" can be the appropriate term for that (again, see "visiting professor"), the usual connotation of "visitor" is incredibly misleading here, and I wish you'd be more clear about it.

Presumably that 75 hours is mostly just setting things to print and leaving it. Fdm 3d printing is rather slow. But you just need to check on it periodically to make sure things haven't gone haywire.

Also, the most common 3d printing material, PLA, is biodegradable, at least with the right conditions, as it is made from bio materials like cornstarch.
Unfortunately, stereotypes have utility. No one likes being caught up as a false positive in a stereotype, but when you look at mass market politics / advertising / marketing they cater to charactures of their intended audience because for the most part it seems to work. Every once in a while someone takes it too far and a group gets offended, but let's not pretend that Cambridge is the only one doing this.

Hence I said "UTF-8 as currently defined".

You could produce something that uses the same basic scheme as UTF-8 (using the leading byte to indicate the total number of bytes used for the code point), but it would not be UTF-8 as we know it (which caps at four bytes per code point), and different encoders/decoders would need to be developed.

>It's a long time since js needed a good stdlib.

Yes. Huge package ecosystems are hurtful. For the basics, language communities should come with a nice, batteries improved, standard library.

For the rest, people should only trust community projects with big following, processes, etc (like Apache stuff, Django, moment.js, postgres, etc), or open source projects supported by companies (e.g. nginx, mongo, React, etc).

The rest, sorry, but you got to write them yourself.

Downloading and using 1-person libs for trivial stuff like lefpad and such is madness.
Thanks for linking the video. I completely agree with that mindset.

I’m really not sure what to say regarding the love, though. I’ll leave it here.
I actually dealt with a similar problem a couple years ago, we were trying to get numpy on Lambda but there's C compilation that needs to happen. What I ended up doing was provisioning an EC2 instance with the same settings as the environment that Lambda uses, then building everything there, and shoving the binaries in the Lambda. It worked, I'm pretty sure the same thing would work for building Python.

When a back end developer tries Vue.js
The article briefly touches it but doesn't really expand on "the", which is every bit as weird to outsiders as German genders or Karbadian "I mean it".

So, "the father" is something like "Not just any father, but a particular father, and we can assume that we both know which particular father we're talking about."

Next time anyone says "language X is so weird, they have an expression for Y!" think about how to explain "the" to, say, speakers of Mandarin. :)
In general, you can expect that anything that is grammatically encoded will be able to be expressed in a language that does not encode that distinction with periphrasis.

For instance, Khwe has five past tense time distinctions that are grammatically encoded in verbal suffixes:

/-hã/: the recent and immediate past
/-tà/: the morning of the day of the utterance
/-ǁ'òm̀/: a "remote past" before today
/-tĩ/: another "remote past", for a few days or weeks ago
/-hĩ/: a "far remote past", used to refer to things that happened years ago or even in mythical times.

Does this mean English cannot be used to distinguish events that happened a few days ago vs. a few years ago? Obviously not: we just resort to using expressions like "a few years ago", since we don't have word-parts (morphemes) that encode this variable.

The example you give seems complicated, but this is actually mostly a matter of lexicon rather than grammar: it is an accident of English's history that "taste" can be a noun meaning 'aesthetic preference' and it can also be a verb meaning 'having a flavor'. The two noun-phrases in that sentence are "tuna with good taste" (a noun with a prepositional modifier) and "tuna that tastes good" (a noun with a restrictive relative clause modifier). Riau Indonesian definitely has relative clauses, and I think it also must allow modification of nouns by prepositional phrases, so the only interesting difference between English and Riau Indonesian for this sentence would be the fact that "taste" would (most likely) no longer be the same word in the two phrases.
Yeah, I hear what you’re saying, the book goes more in depth, and again the question becomes — so you’ve internalized feeling worthless, what is the solution?

I believe the book provides a key to understanding how to resolve those feelings that traditional psychotherapy lacks (with its focus on identifying the problem and acting more logically, most people know exactly what they’re doing wrong, they don’t need you to point it out, they need to resolve the underlying issue — which typically seems to be some childhood trauma).
I think it depends a lot on why the operation failed and what you need the client to do next. If it is something the client can fix, I think it is reasonable to respond with the appropriate 4xx series status and enough to detail that they can correct and proceed. Same with 5xx series and issues that are out of the client's control. There are other approaches that are more or less as valid. The important thing is that we return enough information for the client to proceed. Wether that is signalled through status codes, headers, or response body isn't as important in my opinion.
50% replication success rate.

I suspect, the authors of the article are a bit too generous to call the original work 'sloppy'.
And that the alternative would be: no experiments with conclusions' -- and that's, in their view, is worse.

I disagree with that, I think 'being lied to', is worse than to 'not being told'.

What if the original work was purposely fake just get a grant from some group (political or commercial)?

If that's the case, than the field of psychology is a composed of big number of 'full-stack con-artists'.

I agree that download size is a big deal in JavaScript, but it still seems rather unfortunate to use download size as a reason for ignoring the good work of well-established teams with good reputations and relying on random individuals instead.

If tree-shaking isn't good enough, it needs to get better. Instead of having lots of individuals creating tiny packages with one function in them, there need to be fewer, broader libraries that are closely watched by larger teams.
There is no anger. The obviousness is the issue. If anything I wonder if this article is just some NYT’s writer admitting they have no idea what people outside of cities do, wear, eat, think.

Some background for the uninitiated, this is Lambda Man, or Philip Wadler. One of the core contributors to Haskell. He also introduced monads to Haskell, which has had a huge impact on functional programming in general (https://ncatlab.org/nlab/files/WadlerMonads.pdf). His home page has so many functional programming treasures: http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/wadler/. His most recent book is "Programming Language Foundations in Agda", which is available for free: https://plfa.github.io/. I have no affiliation, just a fan.
Yea, maybe... I work in Detroit. The reason cards aren’t taken in some places is not because of privacy, I highly doubt. I have never met a privacy minded person in real life except maybe outside of a tech program in A2 (Ann Arbor)
If anything it results in less. Memetic sharing of snippets of content leads lots of people to get interested in the source material, seek it out and pay for it.
Well proof of work is used to get consensus and prevent double spend in cryptocurrency though there are other mechanisms being tried like proof of stake.

With Git for code you don't really need consensus - I can have my fork and you can have yours.

This "small and vanilla" lacks 1000s of helpful functions PHP has built-in in its standard library, that's what the parent says.
In Java world those snippets tend to combine into bigger libraries. Apache commons and Google guava are the most known ones and their reputation is established. I don't understand why JS world does not do something similar. Some essential-utils from AiRbNb or whatever JavaScript analog of Google. And if there's still need for some tiny function, just implement it and move on! I can understand that JavaScript favors small download size, but modern tools should be able to remove unused code, so it shouldn't be an issue either.
I Quit Google Over Its Censored Chinese Search Engine
While it’s true RDR 1 never made it to PC, with GTA V rockstar invested a lot optimising their tech stack for PC - it’s a huge leap in quality over the pretty poor port of GTA IV.

GTA V’s PC port was also financially an enormous success, it cemented a place in Steams top seller list for years thanks to the success of GTA Online.

Couple this with the leaked RDR 2 PC developer job titles that have been discovered via oversharing Rockstar employees on LinkedIn, I think there is a good chance RDR2 follows the GTA V release model and a PC version hits 12-18 months after console release.

I bet a significant number of gamers ended up buying GTA V twice at full price thanks to the staggered release schedule last time (I and many friends certainly did), I’d not be surprised at all if this factors in their decisions.
> People with low resilience are going to fail often and early in all stressful situations.

This isn't an argument, though, just a restatement.

> Comparing the same person in different situations is probably not the best metric. Comparing different people across the same / similar situation is probably closer to experimentally valid.

It's not reasonable to assume the same relative value for success in two different people facing the same situation, no matter what criterion you use to choose the people, including if that criterion is what they self-report. Usually experiments like this are done for a token value, guaranteed to be close in absolute value between participants just because those valuations are insignificant. You can't do an experiment that could measure the amount of "courage" and how it drains, or even measure through natural observation without access to internal states that don't have organs called "courage" that we can examine.

What one patriot might call courage in a trench, an otherwise courageous person in that trench may call patriotism. They might run out out of "courage" to stand up to the army overrunning their position and decide to surrender, but never run out of "courage" defending their children.

Not really.

All human babies have a much greater propensity to be able to digest lactose than adult humans.

Whey and casein are the dominant proteins, and lactose the dominant carbohydrate, in both human and cow milk.

The whole thing is strange, there's definitely a lot of different factions in the US fighting behind the scenes for their own agendas, certainly not fighting for the average american.

It should be known that Khashoggi's uncle made billions as a weapons broker and helped the CIA funnel guns to Osama Bin Laden when he was fighting for the CIA as the Mujahdeen.

My inner conspiracy theorist says that the CIA is pissed that Trump shut down their gun running operation in Syria and they want to keep the middle east in chaos forever because it's good for their budget

The fact this story has been covered so much by the media because of "freedom of the press" while they completely ignore China routinely disappearing journalists tells me there's an agenda being pushed. Nothing about this story seems organic
I believe the culture started from people who didnt trust themselves to write good code. Also, the lack of preexisting libraries compatible with the async model led to de novo implementations of many things that are covered by wrappers in other languages.

> Mr. Wylie explained that clothing preferences were a key metric for Cambridge Analytica, whose business was constructing and selling voter profiles drawn from Facebook data.

Cambridge Analytica built the “alt-right”? Even if that term has any meaning (I don’t really think it does), this statement is preposterous. Bannon’s “insurgency”? No spin there.
