It's not clear to me that the generalization beyond languages is valid. In extensive reading the unknown words are connected to more known words; that seems to me likely the largest factor in why it works better. But the other domains like math problems don't have this context effect, because the problems are independent. Why would it still work?
It is quite the question. Especially given that political ideology has a higher heritability than other protected classes: homosexuality and religion.

AI Pre-Screening Technology: A New Era for Contracts? – ThoughtRiver
Graduated in 2011 with degrees in CS and mechanical engineering. Did 1.5 years working on an iPhone app startup in SF, which shut down/failed. Grew frustrated with SF hype and wanted to work with my hands again, took a risk and moved to work at a drone startup in small town in the desert Southwest, turning down software jobs. Turned down a Google software offer a bit later as well. Two years in, the drone startup was bought by Google. Almost 5 years since then, and I'm still doing mechanical engineering, have done a bit of code relevant to my role but nothing in production. Very much lucky, but also glad I left software and get to use my hands as much as I love to. Sometimes I toy with code a bit.

Not a landscaper, school teacher, or electrician, but that's my anecdote for you.
I was certainly wrong in asserting that there were "no problems", but it is still the case that they predominantly charge by the hour. I agree that the incentive is to work smarter, not harder, as with most white-collar professions...

Surely the fact that the legal profession uses (begrudgingly or not) hours as a proxy for work (whether or not they actually work X hours, or who at the firm works those X hours) means something. The legal profession seems similar enough to ours (as far as this issue is concerned at least) and has been around long enough that they should have adopted a better way of doing things by now.
It will be "total shit" because the EU wants to punish the UK so the other European countries stay in line.
iTunes is terrible, but you don't have to use it – I got my MBP at Xmas 2014 and still haven't accepted the iTunes EULA.
So essentially they asked for anonymised lists of phones (i.e. not even the actual numbers) that had been in the locations where the suspects had been, then cross-referenced these to find potential suspects, presumably finding some phones that exactly matched the reported movements of the suspects which they then made a second application to de-anonymise.

Do people honestly think this is disproportionate for investigating a home invasion? It seems like they have been quite privacy conscious in my opinion.

What would have been a better way to investigate this crime?
> the Camera app on iOS is extremely responsive

I love my iPhone and I'm happy to go to bat for Apple when I agree with them, but the Camera app on iOS is painfully slow compared to a Canon DSLR. The Canon can wake from sleep and take a photo in the tiniest fraction of a second.
The engineering issue is a lack of accidental touch sensing. Mac did this with the caps lock key (which is arguably easier to implement). The feature feels half baked.

ETTR is an acronym for 'expose to the right'. It's fine for sunsets. But are portraits trickier because the sensor's gamma curve is optmized for skintones falling within a certain IRE range? I come from the world of Arri and Red where this is a thing - but perhaps the high dynamic range of stills makes this a non-issue.
Because you think Apple (iOS, Maps) is not susceptible to warrants? Or is there some alternative which won't track you at all?
I have another variant of this: I get code rage (which I can easily self diagnose after the fact as being simply NIH in most cases). So whenever I got stuck debugging a bunch of spaghetti, I'd go look for distractions. But because at this point, that was in a professional setting and no longer just my target for procrastination, I was looking for professionally valid distractions. So I became a team lead/manager that way. One thing leads to another and here I am. Turns out I liked that career, too.

To be honest, I don't know where this comes from. It is of course possible to do what many would call "overly clever" things with templates in C++. However, in modern C++, even the unappealing syntax is mostly hidden and it is such a pleasure to use the standard library or to build something like it. C++ strongly subscribes to the principle of "if you don't need/use it, you should not pay for it" (in terms of performance). Given that and the constraint of backward compatibility, it does a pretty solid job of providing a kind of generics for a systems language. If those constraints do not apply to someone, they may perhaps be able to find something else which suits their needs better.

I do concede, however, that it is a real struggle to learn enough C++ to get comfortable with it and not feel like there are too many booby-traps for one to feel safe with it. So, whenever people ask me if they should learn C++, I discourage them unless they are going to need it for their job, or they intend to go into game development, finance or some such thing.

Anyway, I think I've begun to ramble. If you'd like to try and see the thought process behind how C++ came to be what it is, "The Design and Evolution of C++" is an _excellent_ read and I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

> the engine is always engaged

This isn't true, I misspoke. The engine isn't always engaged, it has a freewheel mechanism, but it's not as smooth and friction free than if there was no motor.

The usability of the bike with the motor off rests on the size of the plate you choose; if you want to be able to ride the bike easily without the motor you should select a small plate (<=42T probably).
Apple doesn't track you by default (or when it does, it sends the data anonymously).

The Apps on ios might track you, and that's why I will not use Google maps again.

Your provider indeed tracks you, but at least for now, the accuracy is way below GPS. It is an issue and we should all be worried about slippery slope that it puts us all on.
I remember the moment I hit this. I was developing a desktop app in C#, using Entity Framework (v1), and I had just had the realisation that lazy loading in EF didn't, and the bugs I was seeing in my application were because I hadn't checked whether EF had actually loaded the data (and loaded it myself if it hadn't).

I lost it. I was done. That was it. I couldn't get past the lies (the documentation was outright lying about this behaviour). My entire career had been in the Windows stack, almost 20 years from VB3 to C#, but I was done. I loved coding, but this... this was bullshit... this had to change.

The next day I installed Linux and started again, learning web development properly and eventually finding Go, which I still code in to this day. I have never touched C#, or developed anything on Windows, since that day (roughly 8 years ago now).

I was freelancing, and doing OK at it, and that was hard, but I picked up some JS work and some prototype work for local startups (and tried a few of my own). I joined all the meetups and made friends who I could ask questions of.

Now I'm pretty much back to where I left off, and much happier for it.

I know that most people wouldn't consider this to be a "career change" story - after all I stayed a software developer. But I did have to throw most of what I knew out of the window(s) and start again from scratch, and which was hard but incredibly enjoyable. I fell in love with coding again, and it took me years to rebuild my career on my terms again.

I don't know what your circumstances are, but if you're burned out from 5 years of professional development, maybe try changing what you hate about it?
It is my experience that the more perks a company has, the worse the culture. Too many perks now act as a large red flag, as it suggests that the company cannot retain staff without them.

Agreeing with other comments here, it is relatively normal to have only 2-4 hours of measurable or direct productivity in an 8 hour workday.

You write that you 'only' seem to be able to do 2-3 hours of work before needing a large break. That is quite impressive! Furthermore, a large break is likely warranted at that point. Perhaps you could experiment with taking breaks more frequently?

Also, do not underestimate the value of doing something unrelated to stimulate your problem-solving ability...
Vue.js and Aurelia offer examples of how UI components can be organized and composed, while allowing clean separation of structure, function, and presentation (divided along the lines of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS by design.)

The main point is not to limit ourselves to a monotheistic worldview that convinces us, without substantive evidence, that "all other ways are wrong."
There should be less regulations about everything in general.
No. The software Coq is pronounced like the French word "coq", which has a short o like the English "cock" and unlike the long o in the English "coke". https://forvo.com/word/coq/#fr

This is certainly the only pronounciation in the French formal methods community, where Coq comes from. It is also the standard pronounciation in the international formal methods community. I have never heard anyone pronounce it like "coke".

See for example Adam Chlipala at about 5:40 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DYVJdHMV5k
Benjamin Pierce has a slightly longer o here, but it doesn't sound to me like it's deliberately pronounced differently from "cock": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKrD4JcfW90
And here is Andrej Bauer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COe0VTNF2EA

I know from rare comments like yours that some prudish Americans pronounce it "coke", some deliberately, others apparently because they have been fooled by the first group. But this seems to be a very small minority.

I don’t think it’s accurate to call Oodi a library. It’s more of a communal space for citizens and a sort of a playground/hangout for kids. With some books. Maybe I’m a cranky old man but I don’t really enjoy these kind of open spaces. It’s noisy, too relaxed and not geared towards actual studying and working. Libraries in Finland no longer have any expectations for peace and quiet.

> that’s the whole point - bitcoin manages to do that without trust.

Well that's nonsense for a start.

Bitcoin simply shifts trust from a middleman to a vendor I am interacting with.

A middleman that is highly regulated, with all sorts of protections and restrictions in place to protect me.

A vendor who has a financial incentive to rip me off, and thousands of years of history to show us just how much they do when given the chance.

The trustlessness of cryptocurrencies is a lie. They move trust from a small number parties you can actually trust most of the time, to a huge number of unknown entities with perverse incentives.
Lambda Calculus with JavaScript
There is nothing dangerous about self-signed certs, browsers show you a warning because it doesn't know if it should trust the cert. If you add your CA to the trust store then you can sign your localhost certs.
This canard is tiresome.

> Most people don't remotely know how Webpack works. And they shouldn't have to!

Until it breaks down leaving the project in an unmaintainable state, you're right. Then it's a scramble to understand and update that in my experience usually results in locking that dependency down to a strict version number and hoping that won't break anything else. It's great for security as pointed out in this thread /s. Not the optimal solution, but then again, they don't pay me enough/have enough staff for the optimal solution. And this is code that isn't even part of the app! Just shitty tools preventing me from even building the app. I can relate to the people complaining on here. This is with one or two dependencies too. Try solving those issues a few thousand times. You'll wish this horrific trend of front end code compilation would just stop. The problems truly never end as soon as one has to deal with npm and js dependencies. Which is not to say other languages don't have the same problems. They do, just not on this epic scale of shit.
Then they have lunch together and talk about work? They would have to work in unrelated things, which is hard to do when everyone is the same kind of profession.

Try watching some videos of reversing semis. Then try reversing with a trailer.

> Energy is a product on the market. Whoever wants to pay for it is free to do it, what’s your problem?

Carbon output, on a global scale, which is already hard enough to keep under control. We don't need yet another massive source of energy use, particularly one that gives us virtually nothing in return.
> you can use the camera's hot shoe

Or even better the PC Sync port - it's quite a simple plug, easy to get one and connect to the camera, the hot shoe is a bit fiddly to connect to (unless you have a spare shoe and are willing to modify it).
Also setting flash sync to the second curtain will close the circuit just before the exposure ends instead of when it starts, which may be beneficial for interval calculations with long exposures.
The density gradient is not really that important. You could do this with a car filled with water and a cork instead of a balloon, and the effect would be the same, even though the density gradient in water would be pretty darn close to zero.

What matters is that the direction of the buoyant force is precisely opposite the direction of the overall force acting on the fluid (because that's what keeps the hypothetical fluid that your balloon displaces from moving due to said overall force). Importantly, this overall force needs to be measured in the reference frame of the fluid, which in this case is accelerating.

OK, so let's draw out a force diagram on the air inside the car. There's a force upward from the floor, exactly balanced by the force of gravity down. There's similarly a force from the back of the car , which is what's accelerating the air, from the point of view of a non-accelerating observer. From the point of view of an observer in the car, however, the air is _not_ accelerating, but the force from the back of the car is still there. So there must be a force backwards on the air, to balance the force of the back of the car. You can call it "inertial force" or "gravity" (in the general-relativistic sense) but the upshot is the same: the overall force on the air is down and backwards, so the buoyant force is up and forward, along the same line. For a helium balloon the buoyant force is stronger than "gravity", so it goes up and forward.
Honda will be able to fall back to production in Japan thanks to a trade deal with the EU that has just come into force. That trade deal was agreed in 2017 after the UK had formally started it's withdrawal, so the UK was no longer able to make sure the deal suited UK industry. There is no guarantee that the UK would have done so of course, we have no idea what we're doing and we are no longer fooling anyone.

Car sales are down globally but, while the downturns are when large companies make their cuts, the decision to pull out of a country completely will be driven by long term considerations. I think the Japanese establishment have lost confidence in the UK and, having prepared their lifeboat in 2017, they are now abandoning ship.

Two years of lunacy have brought things to the point that parts and vehicles in transit between Japan and the UK are in a legal limbo: if you ship something now you don't know what customs and regulatory arrangements will be in place in six weeks time when your goods are unloaded!
The 29th of March will not bring a moment of clarity. Whether it's an exit under the withdrawal agreement or a crash-out, the exit will not establish the replacement trade agreements. We still need to negotiate them all [1]. What we've done so far was the easy part and we clearly were not ready even for that.

[1] Well, not all of them. At least we've wrapped up an agreement with the Faroe Islands.

Make website. Advertise website on Google or Facebook or whatever. Have pretty screenshots about what the idea is. When people click the sign up button or try to enter their credit card info, it crashes.

Another alternative: put up flyers. When someone calls, say that the service is currently fully occupied. (works great for car rentals, cleaning services, etc)

After validating, you might want to shut down the advertising.

I'm new to using all the new chat programs and LOVE the idea of matrix, but was somewhat surprised to learn there isn't a bridge for Signal, since it's open source.

There was also a MNC which did not leave the country and divested its share. That company was the Indian branch of Unilever called Hindustan Unilever Ltd. (HUL).

I think the concern is not Google sharing this data once they have it. The concern is Google having it, in the first place (in personally identifiable form).

That's not a server CPU. You'd need to look for a dual EPYC 7371 server for similar performance -- 2990WX is 3-4.2GHZ 32 cores, 7371 is 3.1-3.8GHz 16 cores.

I'd email webnx sales, they have some EPYC servers although not this very new CPU but they were always very flexible. It might be more economical if you front the price of the CPUs but the 7371 is very cheap for what it is, the two should be around $3k (I saw them as a special order on gamepc for 1600, the site name is very ironic because the monsters they sell are more workstation / server than gaming pc). I am not affiliated, just a very satisfied customer, I worked with them when I was the lead architect of a US Top 100 (per Quantcast) site.

The 1080 Ti is certainly not a problem for them.
This. The best customers are the ones who have already hacked their own crappy product, probably in a spreadsheet or some chat group. As long as yours is less crappy, there's a market for it.

Is this using dedict? That is a tool released in 2015 that parses the Mac OS built-in dictionaries, including ODE.

"After I wrote my post about Apple's dictionary files, I got a mysterious email showing up in my inbox. The email was from someone who's spent some time writing code to do the same thing, but doesn't want to post it under his own name in case he falls fowl of his country's DMCA equivalent. Crazy. He said I could post his code under the condition that I took his name off it."

https://josephg.com/blog/apple-dictionaries-part-2/

Vocab adds a few other features such as adding new words, so it's a welcome addition to this space. It seems that most custom dictionaries use the Stardict format, so perhaps adding that file format would be a way to bring in more of the community.
Libraries are less geared towards study now, and more towards offering communal space, but they're still libraries.
But it is a shame if they don't have a quieter space available too.
