Do HTML and CSS rendering engines implement Knuth paragraph layout yet? AIUI, they still use greedy line layout and justification, which can produce various artifacts (like whitespace rivers and orphan lines) that the Knuth-style linebreaking in TeX avoids. Right now, I still don't think I'd consider using anything but TeX or some heavyweight DTP package for printed material.

Say you would rather work 60hr a week at one job at the same pay rate instead of working 40hr at one job and 20hr at another. You like your main job and the extra commute time to another job is a pain. Your main employer likes your work and is willing to pay you your standard wage for 60hr a week. This rate is even higher than your second job. This is not allowed by the US government. You can't legally voluntarily give up an hourly overtime wage increase.

Unless, of course, you are in a salaried position. Then you can work as many hours a week as your employer and you agree on.

A higher standard of living for everyone is a great idea. How to do that over a long period of time in a society is a hard problem. I think it probably consists of letting people decided for themselves how to live their lives and have as little central planning, state control, and corporations as possible, but who knows?
Errors are common in mathematics in practice, though, and even expected to a degree because errors in a deep theorem or proof can be extremely subtle. A complex monograph might contain dozens of proofs and lemmas, all of which are completely interdependent so one mistake can be a major problem requiring significant revisions.

Part of the purpose for publishing in the first place is to see if other people can find mistakes in your logic. This is particularly the case at the real frontiers of science and theoretical mathematics, where truly new ground is being broken. Computer-aided theorem provers would like to improve this, but they are currently fairly specialized tools with limited use.
the "hold a mirror up to nature" quote attributed to Tom Hanks is in fact a classic Shakespeare quote (I don't know if he was the first however, perhaps he in turn got it elsewhere)

You may also wish to read this page on mirrors and Shakespeare (hard to imagine for us, and now mirrors or reflective decorations look kitsch, but during the introduction of quality mirrors they were high tech, so back then this was almost science-fiction play)

I think it is newsworthy because it details the strengths and weaknesses of Elm in what looks like a fairly complex project. I already use and like Elm better than any other front-end framework, but if I was considering Elm as a possibility, this information would be quite useful, I think.

Definitely not the most important thing on the list, but I use Vim to code so IDE integrations mean absolutely nothing to me. I hate IDEs. To companies and teams that can't go to the bathroom without an IDE, that may be a deal breaker. Either way, it is good information to have.

The first time I encountered court fees came as a shock to me.

I missed the deadline to plead guilty and had to show up for Traffic Court. Got up there, plead guilty to my $75 ticket (I think, I can't really remember, just a normal speeding ticket), and the judge said "Pay $325 at the cashier", and I gawked.

I had no idea there was such a thing as court fees, especially one that high, especially considering I spent a grand total of 20 seconds in front of the judge.

Thankfully I didn't say anything, and just quietly paid it. At the time I was living paycheck to paycheck, and that extra unexpected $250 charge was really hard to deal with.

In your experience, are these comparisons using naive GPU implementations as well? If so, that still seems like a valuable comparison.
Can I add weights? For example some YouTube channels publish only one video per month, but the video has a lot of work in it. (For example "acapellascience" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTev4RNBiu6lqtx8z1e87fQ or "CaptainDisillusion" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEOXxzW2vU0P-0THehuIIeg )

While other channels publish a video each day, that is entertaining but it's just someone talking in font of a camera.

This would add more complexity to the UI, that is bad, but you can try to think how to simplify it.

* Allow some channels to be marked as x10? (or x100?)

* Some podcast get a fixed amount of money and the others get an evenly split of the leftovers?

* Make a few levels, and I can put the podcast in these levels. And the total of my money is split somehow. Perhaps half to all the channels in the top level and half to all the channels in the normal level. Perhaps the channels in the top level are worth x10 or x100 of the normal level.

I think that a x100 is not so much. For example the acapellascience release a 3 minute video per month, while other channels post a daily 15-30 minute video, i.e. 450-900 minutes monthly. If I'd like to assign the same amount of money to both, I'd need a 150-300 multiplier.

In a comment below the main post they say that the app they wrote is approximately 45,000 lines of code over 170 Elm files.

That's one of the largest (and apparently most useful) Elm apps in the wild that I've heard of, and the fact that it exists and they had an overall good experience with it inspires me even more to try to learn and use Elm.
I left AWS after six years of working there wholly because of their restrictive policies about developing software in your spare time -- especially if you were thinking about working on a game.

I recognize this article is about a product offering of AWS, and not their internal policies towards contributing to open source, but the two are linked in my mind and I'm not all surprised to see a headline like this.
not sure this is worth the controversial title. good on amazon.
More success by doing less: The art of delegation
I think the takeaway here is that Coverity have just made a (clever) business decision to eliminate false positives, so that (nearly) 100% of their defects are "correct". It's quite possible that there are real defects that they don't show because their confidence is less than 100%.
This is hopefully a good counterexample. Amazon's Elasticsearch Service is pretty bad (poor general performance, very slow to make cluster changes/launch new clusters, etc).

But I can't help but think Amazon can and would easily fix those things if they mattered. Amazon's hosted Elasticsearch is a lot cheaper than Elastic's, and I'll bet that's enough to get people to use it.
I think that estimate might be a bit high for most places outside the west coast. I'm in Chicago, and I'd estimate it at about $300/mo for payment + ~$100-150/mo in gas + ~$60/mo insurance + ~$100/mo savings for maintenance (not necessary if leasing) = ~$460-610/mo). And you can probably find a cheaper car payment than that if you're not getting something quite so new.

But it's still more expensive than people might think. My girlfriend thought she was going to save a bunch of money by getting a car instead of taking Ubers to work and I had to break it to her that since she was spending about $500/mo on Uber, getting her own car wouldn't save her much, if any, money (but at least has other benefits). She was expecting it to save her at least $200 a month, which would have covered just the car payment.

Actually, no, shortening names won't speed bytecode up in the way you seem to be suggesting. Variables "are" indexed by position in some arrays like co_varnames, co_names, co_const and so on. See for example https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/dis.html?highlight=co_na...

There are maps in the code object that will turn the index back into a name, but that's only used when some sort of introspection occurs, such as you might find in a debugger or traceback.

The names found in an "import" of course is a string so there might some small advantage there in a shorter name.

I hear a baffling amount of this sentiment these days, and its not just gaming, though gaming is probably the most common. Do people see the only alternative to leaving their home as drinking at clubs / bars? or is it just an excuse and people don't really mean it ? I hear it enough that I don't really think it is.

Amazon reserved the right to take ownership of my project and all related IP at any time (including after leaving the company.) I was also forbidden from working with anyone outside of my org on the projects.

There were no exceptions allowed.

It was considerably more restrictive than any company I've worked at elsewhere.
It is different. Different threat models, concerning to different people for different reasons. To pick a random example, if I said "Donald Trump killed a homeless guy for looking at him the wrong way," that would be inaccurate. I don't like Donald Trump, think he's a bad guy, but I still wouldn't want to make a false or likely false accusation about him. In the same way, if I don't like that Tesla is making crash data public, I'll say that. I won't say that they're tracking everyone's movements.
Nope. I'm leaving too.

I'd like to see the opposite story: where a reporter drives an ICE car around town for a week and then it suddenly dies in the middle of the road because you have to go to a special station to refuel it instead of doing it in your garage every night.

It's true that road trips take a bit more care. (Although not much; all you have to do is put your destination into the car's navigation system, then make charging stops where it tells you to.) But "normal" cars aren't free of hassle either.
My impression (largely drawn from Ken Burns' series on the national parks and visits to Taos Pueblo) is that the ancient inhabitants of Chaco canyon are the ancestors of the present-day Pueblo people who live to the south in the Rio Grande valley.
An an Ancient Kernel Hole Is Not Closed
Possibly the most boring year of my life was North San Jose.
Just wanted to chime in because I've been using Atlas for over a year and am very happy with both the service and the team at Stripe.

SVB sucks, true. But $300/yr for a bank account should not be a deal breaker. You'll pay way more than this just to operate the corporation and stay alive.

I think I pay around $800/yr just to keep the corporation running (almost non-existent accounting, filing fees and franchise taxes to Delaware). And now that I'm a C Corp I have payroll taxes in addition to salary (~$2k/mo). As always, be sure you really need a corporation before you create one. Most of the tax benefits you get with a corporation (e.g. write-offs), you get as a sole proprietor too.

Atlas also made filing 2017 taxes trivial, I never even spoke to an accountant, it was a very smooth process.
Seems to me that Mongo gave AWS the middle finger two years ago.
Most big tech companies that I'm familiar with allow you to program on your free time, as long as you give them a heads up and it doesn't conflict with the company's products. E.g. working on a video game or contributing to open source.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stating a rational fact about someone's cognitive dissonance "makes them stupid" or "spreads your ignorance"?

I carry that cognitive dissonance (I know animals feel; I believe they have souls; and yet I continue to eat meat); the difference is that I (through tons of introspection) have made peace with my (very few) dissonances and therefore, calling me out on it (as someone did further up the comment chain here) will result simply in me acknowledging their observation (without any emotional/anger element).
I "accidentally" worked at amazon for a few weeks when a company I had just joined was acquired by them.

I knew it was time to start looking when I was informed that I had to get prior permission to do ANY open source contributions even on my own hardware on my own time. That's just not feasible logistically and above and beyond the general "don't write open source that competes with us or on our our time/hardware without permission" rule most reasonable companies have.
>That said, I don't think it's normal for a "software bug" to result in such an egregious error as to require a retraction of the study. I'd like to know why the peer review process failed to detect the problem.

Only because most papers never get the work checked at that level. Software bugs causing errors in studies is extremely common. There's a reason a tiny tiny fraction of researchers share their code without kicking and screaming, and it's not because they'll be scooped on their next paper if they do. (I'm slightly jaded here)
I really wish this were priced more along the lines of https://www.compose.com/pricing - a $200/m floor is a tough dB cost to absorb on smaller yet important projects. Suppose an app has a few mb of data and maybe one day hits 100mb of awesomeness I really have to pay $200/m here?

I get it, I love Aws, just wish this was priced differently.
> light rail is an easy approach that is guaranteed to always be slower than street traffic.

In what way? This seems clear for light rail that shares lanes with traffic, but that’s not always a given. Seattle light rail has quite a bit of right-of-way that is unshared with car traffic and therefore faster than car traffic during peak hours (at least for certain segments).

I lived in Jena, Germany for a while and the light rail there was similar. Most of the railway was dedicated and where it was shared, rail got priority over cars (lights switched rapidly to allow rail through).

TBC, with Stripe Atlas, you get set up in Delaware, but you don’t have to live there. We help you deal with all the paperwork remotely.
Even more annoying is having to stop to refuel your car several times a month despite the fact that you're not taking any long trips.

Obesity is a disease of improper nutrition and nothing else. Physical activity can not fix the problem with food. A country like China could easily control obesity by banning all the companies producing obesity by selling obesity causing food products. In the West this is outright difficult, but it's trivial for a country like China. Ban soft drinks, ban fast food, ban junk food. Obesity solved.
That is one good example, and there are countless more. Most people realize how the existence of “fake news” begs the question of what constitutes “real news”, but it’s become frighteningly apparent that very few acknowledge that trust requires more than mutual responsibility. Most importantly, it requires universal forgiveness and a right to interrogate faith. The acceptance of existing “fake news” is not a good sign.
On the other hand... in a lot of fields, doing the drudgery is the perfect thing for apprentices and new hires to do. You can learn a lot of stuff from grinding on the boring tasks that need doing but nobody wants to do. And while doing this you make contacts, learn other processes, and end up being in the right place at the right time when a better gig in the company opens up.

Chiplets and power are the next dimension of competition. Yield, chiplets vastly improve yield. The limit as chiplet size drops, yield basically goes to 1. Erasure Coding for Silicon.

And then power, part of that is process and part is design. I am not skilled enough to call that, but as leakage current drops, then does power draw, static power draw, allowing for frequencies to scale over larger ranges. Hell, maybe went with some novel clockless design.

Either way, this is momentous.
