Do you mean forced treatment aka involuntary hospitalization?

What are the statistics on cure for this? Does treatment work? If cure rates are not high, is this just long term incarceration without due process that finds one has actually committed a crime?
Afaik XHR allows you to access received data in a streaming fashion, but the XHR type will always buffer the full received payload internally. So if you try to stream a large amount of data over it you will eventually run out of memory. If you want to consume a potentially endless stream with custom encoding you need the fetch API with streaming support for that (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Streams_API...), as far as I understood. Or websockets.

That is one reason that e.g. gRPC streaming support doesn't work trivially in browsers.

People who come from other languages often make “dumb mistakes” because they try to apply their existing mental models of programming to a language that works differently.

The means are naive. I hope we eventually achieve an open world, but right now societies are different enough that authoritarian impulses toward integration seem foolish, especially when they alienate large swathes of the citizenry.

I don't have any specific thoughts on what policies should be followed, just a sense that a slower and more organic course is preferable. Even then, reactionary forces will always exist.
The Fortran language defines a pretty clean FFI to bind to other languages. It’s not really any harder than binding to C code, which is why it’s called BIND(C) and ISO_C_BINDING. That was introduced in F03. The only period when it was murky how to interoperate was in the 90s and early 00s when compiler vendors had their own array descriptor structures that didn’t agree with each other. I worked on a language interop tool back then and spent way more time than I’d have liked reverse engineering those undocumented data structures for all of the compilers at the time.
That's expensive if you don't watch much TV. I just watch sci-fi shows and wish I could put my money just towards those types of shows. My perfect subscription would be a mix, where I pay a small fee per month but can try out individual shows. If I like the show I'd pay for the rest of the season.

For example Amazon now has The Expanse, Starz has Counterpart, Netflix has Black Mirror and I also liked the new Lost in Space. Hulu has... Future Man? CBS All Access has... the ability to ruin Star Trek, so I might want to watch that train wreck.

Anyway if there was a cheap subscription like Amazon Prime which allowed me to try out a couple free episodes, then pay $3 per episode that would work. That way I feel like I'm supporting the specific shows I want to see.
What are your particular critiques about this book? There's nothing inherently inferior about a free resource. What makes LADR superior to this book?

Finding a teacher isn't at all mandatory, you can do math yourself by completing exercises, checking your work, and looking at the solution afterwards. There are plenty of places to ask questions if you get stuck.
Why can't a free open source book be equivalent to or better than a more traditional book? First of all the release cycle of the free book should be much faster. Edits and alterations can be incorporated much more rapidly. Giving publishers such control over knowledge can be harmful. Being free does not have to sacrifice quality (this book is written by a mathematician anyway).

Also I recall reading Axler, and I think it covered some more advanced content towards the end. But this book looks equally solid.
BigCam – Homebuilt Digital Camera
For a lot of engineers this seems completely wrong but to many others in enterprise software this has become more true than false. Most of the old guard tech companies of decades past have moved the majority of their development opportunities offshore (Israel, Eastern Europe, India, Southeast Asia, Brazil, and many more), abuse H1Bs (both as persons and in terms of policy), or to lower cost living areas of the US. Heck, even NASA’s largest personnel presence is in Alabama and Florida last I checked rather than NYC, SF, or even DC. While there are exceptions the rationale is that unless you have a business reason to have top engineers paid top wages and specifically in a large US metro, you likely are going to shift your tech labor force elsewhere. I think the message from the market is pretty clear - average / below average programmers have little competitive advantage over overseas labor of comparable overall technical output even if their communication skills are pretty decent, and the sky’s the limit practically for the talented - this is the reality of opportunity gaps in the US and has been for a long, long time.

> The usual mechanism to address this is to require more than one clinically trained person to agree, which holds them for a few days until it can be heard in court and decided by a judge.

It seems the above would only work (meaning that it would prevent abuse) if:

a) the 'clinically trained persons' affiliate with different political fractions

b) there is no 'federal-level' oversight hammer that can strip them of their credentials for testifying against the wants of the currently ruling political fractions

c) The judiciary system overall is free from 'selective-outrage' ( Which is, unfortunately, some would say, not the case for US, Canada, France, UK, Australia, not even mentioning known oligarch/dictatorships countries out there )
On modern Android, disable and uninstall are the same exact thing. And please don't start telling me that the difference is the binary stays around. It does not run. Ever.

Trust me, you prefer it this way. The system partition being read only is the same reason why your phone is much more secure than it would be otherwise.

And as to why it is there in the first place, that is a question for Samsung.

But please stop spreading around false information about Android. Uninstall and disable are the same thing as far as the app is concerned and as far as the user is concerned and as far as the operating system is concerned.
I don't know what languages you're referring to but I didn't have my eyes opened until I spent significant amounts of time learning Haskell. I think any language with suitably advanced type system would do: ocaml/reason, rust, swift, etc. All the OO c-derived languages feel super bland to me since they all deliver equivalent expressive power, more or less. You get a really different experience once you get a language with a more capable type system.

Honestly I'm kind of surprised that Racket didn't stand out to you, it's a super cool language and very different from everything else on your list. How much time have you spent using it?
Sounds like when I worked at Radio Shack. Not so much with warranties but with names and addresses. We did get a bonus for each extended warranty we sold.
I am aware how bodies are streamed in HTTP/2 (I have written an implementation). What I am not sure about is how libraries on client and server side are expected to handle this kind of information. A Lot of servers and client libraries might display "transfer-encoding: chunked" to their user, even though that wouldn't be seen if the connection was established via HTTP/2. It's more of a question of "how to hide those protocol differences from the user while still allowing them to set and access all information if required". And the question whether the HTTP ecosystem already embraces that, or whether most libraries still expose all the HTTP/1.1-only ways to the user.
Get a dog. You'll be forced up exercise everytime it needs to go. Whether you want to or not.
I think their worst decision of late is to include auto-playing "trailers" (with sound!) when you pause for more than a second on a title. Between that and the lack of a decent "browse by category" interface you mentioned, I rarely bother using the TV UI to discover content. Googling "what's good on netflix" works much better for me.

At least you can still disable the auto-play next episode "feature".
You mean a sensible reform like reduce immigration or link immigration to unemployment numbers or normalized wage growth?
You're not forced to use sbt, it just happened that sbt is the fastest/most reliable way to compile scala code. Maven can compile scala just fine, albeit a little bit slower since it has to spawn a new instance of scala compiler each time.

The scala compiler is stand-alone, all deamon/server implementations are just workaround to speed up build for any build systems other than sbt.

Unpopular opinion: I really really don't want 4 day work week. I think working 5 days is comfortable and not exhausting. If we want to reduce work hours, and we really should, we should shorten work days. Why not work 9 to 3 five days a week?
It's true that HTTP/2 could eventually replace lots of websocket use-cases, and integrate better with other HTTP code (e.g. frameworks, authentication, etc).

However currently if you need streaming and message ordering guarantees in both direction, you are currently still limited to websockets. HTTP might become more useful once body streaming APIs in both directions are available in browsers.
They also don’t charge tax currently.

Most of Pinker's arguments are basically ok giving statistical data on how things like life expectancy have improved.

The Wikipedia entry for "Whig history" is fairly informative: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whig_history. Essentially, a view of history that everything represents a progression towards something better. It's also tied up with the rise of mercantilism (i.e. merchantocracy) of the 17th and 18th centuries. (It's also associated with Liberalism, in the classical sense of the term.)
A “monster” pc has raw processing power that consoles are not even close to. Whilst console games are optimised for targeted hardware, optimisation often means a reduction in certain graphical elements to allow the game to run smoothly. You can’t run a console game on the same graphical quality that a monster pc could.

Racism wasn't racism simply because people failed to notice it, it was so common. So, yes, in a way, it's true that it didn't exist. It didn't exist in people's conscience. Yet, it doesn't mean it didn't exist in practice. Same as child labor. It too wasn't a problem because, it was ever-present and part of everyone's life.
Haskell is probably #1 for languages that old guard types fawn over and, yea, I think it's pretty cool, but don't ever expect to be in a situation where I get paid to write it.

I really liked Racket a lot actually! It turned me on to the whole functional programming style that I still try to maintain in JavaScript. Unfortunately, I only got to write it for a semester in school and when I moved on to JavaScript enjoyed not having the insanity of all those parentheses and not having to do everything myself (via js array functions, lodash, and the npm ecosystem)

> What makes LADR superior to this book?

Axler's approach for determinants.
why is this article not on the front page? Was it flagged by too many people? If so I wonder why ... Yes, it's a personal attack on Pinker, yet I agree with most of the arguments (and had the same feeling when I was reading his book ... he takes too many things out of context and thinks just because he's an expert in language and cognition he's an expert in other topics ... I have some knowledge in machine learning and found insulted when I read the AI parts of Enlightenment Now).

It's a bit sad because Pinker's older books are great. I recommend "The Blank Slate" and "The Language Instinct".
In "The Better Angels of our Nature" he already started to stray away from his expertise.
This is precisely why people train for sudden depressurization. That way when the unexpected thing happens, you're ready for it anyways. If you're not, nobody should have given you your license. I know friends who have had real emergencies and handled them gracefully. I have had my engine suddenly quit on me while I was over downtown Dallas, and I've had my oxygen system fail up in the flight levels. Handled both just fine. If you were well-trained, training just kicks in.

If something bad going suddenly scares you, if you're not comfortable with your ability to handle sudden spikes in stress, you're just not cut out to be a pilot.
This. Almost all libraries and their example/documentations will be written in Java, so you have to learn Java if you want to use other language in the JVM.
I'm curious on why the upgrade mecanism to tell the server you understand and prefere HTTP3 is different from the one used to upgrade to a Websocket connection? It doesn't seem to use the "Connection: Upgrade" and "Upgrade: XXX" headers but rather "Alt-Svc"...

I'm a total newbie on the topic, so I'm curious about this.
In US, especially in tech industry, "official" workweek is 40 hours (9 to 5, five days a week) but most people work 45 to 50 hours a week. It's very normalized to work overtime. In my current company my manager told me repeatedly that working overtime is _discouraged_ yet everyone including him work 9 to 6 pretty much every day. I leave work around 6 on a normal day and sometimes it gets as late as 7. Again, this totally culturally normal.
Truly, the mind boggles. Did you ever end up doing anything to improve the close rate?
We buy all our appliances from Best Buy so I'd hate to lose them like we lost Circuit City. CC's decision to ditch appliances was their downfall, IMO. As for buying electronics from BB, it's a checkered history for me. I've bought a MacBook Air cheaply there and our current LCD TV was 300$ there. When I last bought a PC laptop there 12 years ago trying to get out of the shop without extended warranty was a nightmare. I eventually 'won' by saying it was a gift and the new owner will run Linux (to escape the Geek Squad tax). Altogether, BB is not a happy place to buy a Windows laptop although things may have changed but I doubt it.
What is nice about this book is it includes solutions to exercises. I wish more proof-theoretic books included exercises in the back of the book like this one does. Yes, you can prove something in multiple ways, and no that isn't a good excuse to not include at least one version of the proof in the back of the book. It really benefits the self-learner. The math community seems to have a lot of artificial gatekeeping to keep non-academics out.

They do this in several ways.

1) They recommend textbooks to beginners that are too advanced for their skill level.

2) These textbooks do not include solutions and the advice given is that solutions would somehow rob them of the experience (don't let those that lack self-discipline ruin learning for non-traditional students that aren't in a formal classroom with access to professors and TAs). The self-learner needs some sort of feedback system.

3) They tell the self-learner that solutions aren't provided because everyone has the ability to know if their solutions are correct without having their work checked. Would you write a complicated program and write no test cases, or could you instantly know your program is bug free the first time you write it? Why is math suddenly any different?

Despite popular elitist opinions, I'd recommend this book over Axler for the beginner that doesn't know linear algebra. Everyone says Axler is the perfect first book in linear algebra. It really isn't. Even Axler admits this himself in the preface. He assumes that it is a second approach to the field.

But people like to be elitist and recommend books to beginners that aren't always best from a pedagogical perspective.

Those are the same class of people that recommend Rudin or Spivak to someone that wants to study elementary calculus 1 material.

Netflix can push trash to all their viewers, but eventually if you push too much trash you lose your viewers. Their current model can’t work long term.
The counterargument is that it would have taken so long to do it the "right" way that someone else would have shipped the simpler implementation and it would be widely adopted by users that were happy to have something "good enough" so by the time your "right solution" shipped they wouldn't care about it anymore.

I mean, TTY was first written in the 70s. If I write code works fine except that it has a bug that will require a rewrite from scratch in 40 years I'd be pretty happy with the quality.

I loved Violet Evergreen. It was very well done as an animation. The others are “your lie in April”. That legit made me sob. I usually don’t get that emotional. (Although not a Netflix original).
You miss the point. The point is not doing it efficiently, but explaining the concepts without being distracted by getting it running on specific hardware and the like. Read the introduction to the overall series.

That's a little relieving; if anything, making the policy sound more brutal than it really is probably sets better expectations than making the policy sound more lenient than it really is. For example, as far as I can tell, the PIP ceremony is just that, a ceremony. Not that nobody has ever survived a PIP without getting fired, but it's typically a mechanism to manage people out while minimizing the company's liability. It's probably an improvement to replace an expensive, bureaucratic mechanism that keeps disgruntled low performers around with a lump sum of cash that gets them out the door ASAP (assuming the "generous severance" tradeoff is accurate).

Also, every company talks a big game about setting a high bar and only wanting the best performers, so if you want to accurately convey the notion that you really do set a high bar and really do only want the best performers, you have to overstate the point to a degree that sounds brutal or even sociopathic.

Yes, that is probably how it will play out. At least at first.

But I think the side-effect of this is that other industries & locales would not get as many workers as they currently do, which would put upward pressure on wages in those areas. Compare this to the current system, where wages for lower paying jobs and areas are kept lower than they would otherwise be by adding worker supply through this visa program.
