What's so bad for us? You could argue that. If we stopped trying to run the world, it would be a lot less expensive (in terms of both money and lives). That might not be so bad.

What's so bad for the world? Depends on how China tries to run it. But looking at the Uighurs, I'm kind of concerned that they won't run the world all that well for the rest of the world...
I'll give you the desktop environments aren't very good. Gnome 2 was about the peak and it went a bit weird after that as they appeared to have an internal battle between making it look like MacOS and inventing something new while locked in a dungeon with a bong. xfce isn't quite polished enough even with a lot of configuration done.
If you visit several pages on a single website, then yes. But if you want to scroll through AMP pages from different websites in the search results, caching doesn't help much.

Yes because it is still true, that more geeky users that care about URLs and the status bar.

Sure, nobody wants to get phished. But I don't know any non-tech users that pay attention to the status bar as a way to avoid it.
Try getting rejected at the final executive approval (i.e., their magic eight-ball) after passing the in-person day and the hiring committee.

Once you've seen the inside of the hiring process, you'll never take this stuff personally again. It's utter garbage. At best, the process manages to select for a few traits that are probably useful, while de-selecting for others they didn't realize were crucial for ultimate success.

If you doubt this, ask yourself how one of the tightest hiring sieves in the world managed to produce Google+.
Excellent answer. Current rules create the equivalence of indentured servitude, driving down wages for all and holding employees hostage.
I believe the parent was referring to pseudogravity via rotation ('centrifugal force')-- hence the reference to a spinning satellite.
This is an example of and response to the poor state of hiring that takes place in development.

Rarely do I know why I'm rejected, even if I ask but it feels like it could be anything, like a keyword. Applying for jobs is basically Bumble but, less fun. Instead of pics of you on a horse, you have a CV.

I bet if you combined up-front testing (like hackajob) or a boot camp course with short-term contractual work from various companies, you could create a decent hiring funnel too.
I was looking into (ab)using wasmer for compilig dylibs to wasm and load them with Python. Do you know if someone already tried something similar?
Thanks for sharing this. I'm switching careers, and I've lost count of how many rejections I've received at this point. Probably my highwater mark so far was getting to Google for an onsite interview. The day after I was so proud for getting there, and not completely bombing the interviews (i.e. I was always able to at least arrive at a solution for the problems, if not always an optimized one). But ultimately that wasn't good enough, and it is back to square one.

It is easy to say, "don't take it personally", but when you're starting from a non-traditional background, and therefore the amount of rejections you receive is probably higher than normal, it is really challenging not to let it get into your head and think maybe you're just not cut out for this line of work.
That's a long conversation but the EB1 and EB2 green card categories allow for self-sponsorship although the standards are pretty high and generally require a track record of accomplishment. Alternatively, company sponsorship through the PERM process (in the EB2 or EB3 category) can be pretty quick (12-18 months) depending on the individual's country of nationality.
If you keep breaking the guidelines we'll ban the account.

Yes and it traces back to MaximeVM at Sun Research Labs, a project that Oracle was willing to keep sponsoring.
Hey Peter, are you seeing anything new with regard to EB3 Greencards vs previous years?
Not necessarily true, I interviewed for Google once and from the two interview sessions, I have a good idea which one I bombed.
I don't deny this, i'm just pointing out that he would ever be called "Mr. Jiankui" in an article, it would be "Mr. He".

And given the author I'm ambivalent, I'd be surprised if they had not considered it, though I guess it might be a blind spot.
Chang'e-4: China mission targets Moon's far side
I am not an attorney but very familiar with the process. Being an undergrad puts you in an EB3 category. And you need to find a job within that category and an employer willing to file a green card for you. Depending on your country of birth, the entire process from day one to the day you receive a green card can take up to 2 years. More for people from certain countries of birth e.g. India/China.
> Tesla at it's heart is a battery company with products built around that.

I disagree. Tesla is a software company with products built around that. A Tesla car is a computer running their software, with certain physical enablements attached.
Tesla is going a different route to full automation than any other company. They seem to think the fastest way to full automation is going to be a gradual progression from where they are now (low level SAE 3) to level 4/5. Most others, and most importantly the leader Waymo (Google (Alphabet)), have decided the human society can't handle the risks of a level 3 system and won't deploy cars with those features. Waymo seems to have got to level 4 for the driving conditions around Phoenix so they are now starting to deploy the system to the public.

At level 3 humans aren't driving the car but are suppose to pay attention so that they can take over if a problem arises. In general humans are not good at that task. Some of them will fail at it, the car will crash, people will get hurt/die, and maybe in this "safety first" world, automatic driving gets a bad name and is "set back" a decade.

Elon Musk has stated that he believes more in a "safety third" kind of philosophy. In an interview I saw he stated that with his kids he tells them that "don't panic" is a good first principle for dealing with life and "safety" would probably go third. It's important but not the prime directive of life. What is second is still up for consideration.

So the love/hate for Tesla's Autopilot strategy probably comes down to how you feel about risking people's lives to possibly save many more. Here is a question to ask yourself. If Tesla's autocar strategy causes 100 deaths of people who volunteer to take the risk before really good automation is developed, but Tesla's courage/recklessness has a 50% chance of saving a million (choose your own number) lives due to the speed-up of the implementation of self driving cars, would you support that? I would and so would many others, but many would not. This is a deep difference in values and that is why I think there is so much love/hate around the issue.

Maybe Tesla wants to call it Autopilot because they hope they can incrementally improve it so that someday they get to level 4/5 and won't have the need to change the name at some arbitrary place along the way to full autopilot competency. Cruise control was a bit of a misnomer also but people seem to be fine with the word at this point.
Yeah, thanks to OP for that. I was using Hyper before and the performance was abysmal. Terminus has the same great rendering and is much more performant. 100 MB one terminal with some work is still not amazing, but it sure as hell beats 300MB while just idling with Hyper and 5 second load times for a window. I think Electron apps are an order of magnitude slower in general, but the Hyper team really seem to have made some poor choices on top of that.
That worldview on OCaml and Haskell = academia only is pretty out-of-date these days...
Definitely, I wasn't trying to support the use of drugs to enhance creativity. I wanted to point out that even though Hemingway could have been sober when he wrote, it doesn't falsify that there have been drunk authors throughout history. Being an addict is bad, that's unarguable.

I did see that section, but don't see how it follows. Putting your PW reset page at this address would be using the URI spec for exactly it's intent, not “general information retrieval”. My read of this clause is just that they don't want you to start using .well-known as your primary namespace or cluttering the registrations with junk that's not broadly applicable.
For someone with only passing attention for this stuff, your comment explains it perfectly -- thanks!

Now I'm wondering how browsers presumably already cope with this for JS, or how CloudFlare workers cope with it, or .. etc.
I tend to SSH into an AWS box most of the time or use a Linux installation inside a vagrant VM when I have to use something Linux. Both of these are much smoother than on WSL/Windows.

However most of the built in packages and stuff that comes from brew is exactly the same as on Linux. Perhaps 99.999% of stuff is totally portable.

Is that true?

I work for a hundred billion $ tech company, and Intel AMT is disabled fleet wide due to security issues.

Or that's what he claimed.

> Even though they all run it internally.

That's what he claimed as well. But never heard of Homebrew while I was at Google, though I had a Macbook for 5+ years. (Well I can't definitely say my Macbook never ran Homebrew - after all, when you are in Google, all such things are handled by dedicated teams. But I can definitely tell that this "scandal" was the first time I heard about Homebrew.)

Not trying to take him down - I'm now in a different company and use Homebrew quite happily, but it's simply not true that it was widely used inside Google.

On C2-dot-com there used to be a long running debate about "tag based" dynamic typing versus tag-free dynamic typing. Tag-free is similar to "untyped", but that may depend heavily on which definitions are used. This debate included whether tag-free is "good", and how to define it, since "tag" implies an implementation and not really behavior. One may also use tags for compression and speed "under the hood" even under "tag-free", but the programmer may not otherwise have to care as a language user (outside of performance issues). Thus, how does one know as a language user that the language is "tag free"?

I lean toward tag-free; it makes life simpler in my opinion. Interesting but thready debate. A battle of philosophy and definitions.
Looking at the full picture, that rifle is very likely not even pointed at the man being given water. I wouldn't be surprised to find that the solder with the weapon is facing away from the whole scene, and not watching the two helping the man on the ground at all.
I have wondered the same thing about myself. I came to two realizations, the first is exactly what you say about gravitating towards flow-inducing states (chess, esp bullet chess, mountain biking, motorcycling, etc) as a coping mechanism/reset button for processing difficult emotions. This is a healthy way of dealing with trauma. The second is that in some more extreme cases of obviously-in-hindsight dangerous or self-harming behavior, I realized that I was doing these things “unconsciously” as a way of echoing my original trauma, ie my psyche was still not strong enough to directly confront or even become aware of the root injury, so in my infinite wisdom I acted out these behaviors which were so stupid in hindsight that I was forced to look deeper to understand what my self was trying to tell me about my self. After processing some really heavy shit, I feel like I can get my “fix” of flow in safe(r) ways consistently. “Accident-free for [6] months”, as they say...
My problem is that it's all cargo cult, and none of it is rationally thought through to pursue desirable qualities in an engineer.

Even within Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft, you're usually being interviewed by a fresh-out-of-school 20-something who has no idea how to do much of anything, let alone evaluate candidates fairly. And yes, they "train" these kids -- but you basically can't train someone to do something that relies heavily on intuition. That requires experience, but 20-somethings don't have experience. So instead, they're "trained" to do the one thing you can do repeatably: ask coding puzzle questions from a book, and reject anyone who doesn't regurgitate answers with 100% fidelity. It's the McDonald's food of interviewing: not the best (or even good), but consistent across a large organization. Sort of.

So while big companies need people who can work on a team, exercise good judgment, communicate clearly, write clean code and not be racist/sexist/evil jerks, they get...people who can memorize questions from a big book of programming questions. I can easily come up with tests that get to each of those properties...but they rely on interviewers having good judgment, and most do not.
I develop an internal product that is currently used only by our companies service technicians, but the end goal is to release this to our partners for use outside of the company. Here is one of the biggest things I've learned about UX as a non-designer: watch people use your products, and be ready to accept failure. Let's say you've designed something specifically to be used a certain way. Then, upon user testing, 5 people deliberately use it a different, unintended way. This is YOUR mistake, not theirs. It can be hard to predict these type of things in advance, I've found. As a programmer, I tend to think about software a completely different way than a non-programmer (especially someone in a non-technical role). This often results in software that I think is simple, but turns out is non-intuitive and complicated.

You have to plan ahead. Use lunch breaks to talk to recruiters (don't do it in the office). Bank up vacation time to go on interviews. Use the occasional sick day to handle last-minute requests, but don't abuse it.

Wasmjit doesn't really address #2. Memory bugs in nginx will continue to corrupt data and potentially allow RCE, they just will not be allowed to spread to the rest of the kernel (in theory)
Can you run Wasmer in the Linux kernel? What makes Wasmjit stand out from all other WebAssembly virtual machines (WAVM, Wasmer, Life, wasmi, wagon, ...) is that its main goal is to run WebAssembly in kernel space.
Spin can indeed create (effective) gravity, but it differs due to the coriolis effect. We'd have two options: We can build a really big satellite, so as to minimize that effect -- or we could assume plants aren't sensitive to it, and hope for the best.

Needless to say, most scientists aren't fans of the second option.

Incidentally, long-term it would be possible to achieve 1g on the moon by way of a similarly huge centrifuge.
Yeah, if AMD could run on fumes for the better part of a decade, when not even dominating the market previously, just having reasonable alternative choices to the market leader, I'm pretty sure the 40 year long market leader can survive a bad arch refresh cycle or two.

I am one of the developers of Blockmodo. It offer realtime data streamed directly from the exchanges via a WebSocket API. Alternatively, you can also go through our REST API as well to get this data.

Data can be streamed aggregated or if you choose, you can also stream and poll the data on a per-coin basis. For example, if you want the aggregate price of Bitcoin you can do that but if you want the price streamed of Bitcoin for BTC/USD for Bitfinex, you can do that as well.

In addition to the price, we offer full streaming and REST data on:

- Realtime news on each coin. Our backend also detects bot generated articles and excludes those.

- Realtime community posts across different sub-reddits, forums, etc

- Realtime social posts from the developers of each coin (twitter, etc).

- Realtime code checkins from the developers across multiple repos segmented by the coin (github, etc).

- Full coin profiles (name, website, telegram urls, etc).

We do this on over 2700+ coins for developers and terminal makers across 100+ exchanges. You can explore the documentation here:

https://blockmodo.com/docs/api

How can I see it in action?

You can see it in action here by visiting our front page:

Another terminal app that is connected to the network is CoinHub for iOS which you can check out here:

Wow, I shouldn't be surprised when I keep seeing this debate pop back up. This is what I imagine goes through these peoples heads when they make these claims.

> Why do people get upset when I claim people from minority/marginalized communities are less intelligent on a genetic basis. I'm just bringing it up because it does damage to our society when we don't realize that our current hierarchies are not based in empirical evidence. So maybe we should cut social programs. Just to be clear, I am not a racist and am not claiming that any individual of any race is less intelligent than another... But I feel really strongly about race science and I'm so brave for standing up to these SJW's and having a necessary conversation.

Also having read https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40806-018-0152-x#..., this individual is trash. No mention of strong opposing arguments (Nisbitt, Turkheimer, etc..) He did mention Flynn. However, he did so in the weirdest way possible.

> "Note that there is nothing in science which rules this possibility out (Flynn, 2017)."

Seriously Noah...

Also the section where he talks about "The Pernicious Implications of the Blank Slate" there is a really strange straw man about Mao. He picks a quote from Mao about how kids are impressionable. He seems to have this idea that if we don't pursue un-contextualized race science that it will lead to genocide.

At the end of the day, all you need to do is ask why academics like Carl are interested in intelligence science as it pertains to race. It's not like there isn't other topics within the study of intelligence. They approach this stuff with a limited view of history and a smell of racial animus. The problem is not the topic, people study IQ between races regularly. The problem is the grandstanding that this science is important and ignored at our own peril. There is a lot more work to do on the study of intelligence. They still don't know why it has been rising; it has risen more than any gap between races in the past 50 years. The idea that the racial IQ gap, which has been closing for decades, should be used as a justification for cutting social programs is fucked up. Seriously, when you ask these people why the IQ gap matters that's the only actionable thing I have ever heard come out of this conversation. Every time this comes up my blood boils as some white academic complains about PC culture, while at the same time they can get paid boatloads of money by conservative think tank for having their super "edgy" ideas.

Free Tutorial: React Hook Explained – Functional Components with State
Completely misses the very important necessity of a creative process, which is to work free of self-criticism.

Alcohol, which lowers inhibitions for a lot of people, can help with that. That's not to say that everyone should, or even that anyone should all the time -- but it can be a productive tool, just like taking a walk, reading a book, or getting some sleep.

I think the larger point that the quippy aphorism is getting at is that one should approach creative work with a sense of openness and abandon, before tightening up and focusing on details. Entertain and explore the variety of "YES" before committing to the bounding "NO"

Caching helps if you visit several pages on the same site. But AMP might be optimized for scenario when you scroll through several AMP pages from different sites in the search results. Using an external stylesheet would only make loading slower in this case. Another problem is that on an unreliable connection external CSS can fail to load.
Quite the contrary. "Just ship" is a great approach for individuals or startups. WordPress is a behemoth that powers a significant portion of the web, including numerous enterprise corporations, and is the lifeblood of thousands of freelancers and agencies. They should hold themselves to a much higher standard.

When WordPress ships a bug, or a security vulnerability, or drastically and negatively alters the user experience the repercussions are vast and long-lasting.
