In UAE it works well. You need artificial irrigation, but only one or two generations of trees. Everywhere around UAE there are many new plants randomly popped from the sand only after about 10-15 years of artificial forests.
This is very similar to a lot of the "appeasement" rhetoric going around just before WWII.

Your "shell" solution isn't really a shell solution, it's an awk solution.

It's really valuable to know awk, but it's a bit misleading to claim that "it's shell".
> seemed to have a short-term view of everything (we were going to "flip" the company to a large pharma),

> which caused a lot of bad decisions to be made.

Unfortunately, if they were trying to flip the company; then they may have made the 'right' (from the perspective of payoff) call.

I can imagine under some models, that if you are 86% confident that it won't work, and only 14% confident that it will work; then the millions wasted may have been easily justified by the potential payoff if it was in the $100 million dollar range.

Normally, we wouldn't bat an eye at such a decision; but the ugly part here is the high risk exposed to the people participating in the study :(. However, even that, a similar utilitarian calculus can be done to justify it. bleh.

Remind me not to be a Pharma CEO, it sounds like an all around unpleasant job if you aren't a complete sociopath.
Good questions!

We haven't decided on transactional consistency yet - if there are particular goals there, I'd love to hear them. Ostensibly, we want to allow users to design the right distributed system for themselves, and provide ways of saying "we want this DB to prioritize availability over consistency", for example. But we haven't yet decided how to do that or what to support at launch, nor where the bounds of a transaction will be.

We have a DB migration tool. The DB has a current type, and you specify the new type, and add rollforward and rollback functions. That creates a new name for the datastore: any use of the old name uses the old type, and the new name uses the new type (both on the same datastore, applying rollforward and rollback as necessary for the interface you need). Once you've removed all the references to the old name, you mark the migration as complete, and we'll handle the underlying transformation of the data behind the scenes.
It’s rare, but they do happen. I’d say less than 1% are insightful and 1/2 of those are more just snark.
Maybe an analogy can be drawn from two tribes being integrated into an empire. Usually the empire changes both tribes into its form, but some new gods get added to the pantheon.

That's easy to say from a comfortable office chair in a Western country. Is there no line a country can cross before foreign citizens are justified in condemning another country's behavior?

For instance, take China's current oppression of their Uighur population: https://www.vox.com/2018/10/24/18018282/china-reeducation-ca...
Only a small number of Japanese became US POWs before the end of hostilities.

However the US did put a large percentage of their own citizens of Japanese origin into concentration camps, which I think is the case you're talking about. Almost all of them survived and left the camps at the end of the war though most lost their homes and businesses. I wouldn't call that "genocide" per se, simply a basic violation of human rights.
What bigger guns do publishers have to use against sci-hub that they haven't used yet? They have already used lawsuits against sci-hub and getting their domain names blocked in jurisdictions where that sort of thing can happen. Pressuring for IP-address blocks across different ISPs?

Finally, sci-hub is accessible via .onion through Tor. Maybe that's not a viable access method for the general public, but the sort of people who read a lot of research articles can jump through the hoop of setting up Tor Browser if that's what they need to keep using sci-hub.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It's hard to build a product that suits everyone, but we try to be as inclusive as possible. In your example, the introverted engineer probably has standard professional relationships with a manager and/or a direct report that he can invite to speak to his capabilities.

I hear your opinion that a hiring process should stay between the employer and the candidate. Unfortunately, the reality is that most hiring processes today depend on a more human element, like a referral. We hope to make it possible for people without this access can also gather support around their candidacy.
Who I am to judge what innovations are useful or useless to society? In a sense, one could very well argue that the market cap or valuation of a company is at least a decent proxy for "usefulness".

With that said, however, my personal opinion is different. Although I think innovation of any kind is great for society, what I'm frustrated by is the relative mindshare of where we focus our attention on.

I like to use the term "farsighted" - many people in SV are able to see very far distances into the future, but ignore some of the immediate problems that are right under our noses. That's what I'm frustrated by.

I have no problem with Google deciding what Google will say is true on Google-owned platforms.
Sounds like you're successful and have many personal outlets such as your business, music, etc. So I don't think wood working or extra academia is the solution. It sounds like you need more social interaction. You don't necessarily have to work to work on a team. Volunteer, join a church, have some kids, join a club (running, soccer, whatever). Get out there and make your life more complex in a good way.

Also, I'm just a developer so take anything I say with a grain of salt.
Software was also distributed this way ion some magazines back in the day when cassette tape was used as a data storage medium.
That’s a fairly nominal way of defining ethnicity.

However, it was not limited to just Americans. Oddly, in Hawaii, where 150,000-plus Japanese Americans composed over one-third of the population, only 1,200 to 1,800 were also interned.
About 2/3 citizens, 1/3 non-citizens. I'm not sure how much of the latter group were permanent residents or intending to become citizens. Certainly, the majority were Americans.

Well you can't have freedom without jails or weapons.
I'm a member of the IEEE, which I believe also has a problem. They charge authors to publish, then charge IEEE members to access the journals. All this while the reviewers and editors are working for free. At a bare minimum, they should make the journals open to all members. One way to cut costs is to stop printing paper journals.

I'd love to hear what the UC system has to say about the IEEE.
You accused GP of taking mental health issues too lightly. I reiterated their point of how the tone of this article rubs people the wrong way.

I'm not shaming anyone, just as the GP here isn't taking mental health issues lightly either. Again, nobody is saying these issues are to be taken lightly, or that anyone is obligated to solve them (that's part of the false trichotomy I talked about). Please stop accusing people and projecting these straw men.

It's not a loan and more akin to equity; there are parallels to the talent agency world. If you wanted to do our program and get paid less than $2000, we could accommodate this via a side agreement or other arrangement potentially.

Not limited to, no, but the majority interned were US citizens. Yes, the internment was mostly limited to west coast mainlanders; Hawaii's economy would have fallen over if its Japanese-American population was interned.
I suppose "Some Modern CPUs" was too long-winded a title?

As I said, it doesn't take a genius to understand Intel's motivations. They bought the project, after all.

Not being @ Intel anymore, I don't have access to the older stuff, and even if I did, the codebase has diverged significantly since.

Without going on too much of a tirade - the experience of developing for all those platforms really sucked. Almost all the non-x86 platforms had significant bugs in their toolchains. One of the MIPS variants (particular architecture elided to spare the guilty) had bugs in their gcc intrinsics in a way that suggested that no-one had ever done any significant third-party dev on the platform.

Big-endian was also a huge PITA.

It was a ton of work to keep all those systems alive, and our machine rack looked like a zoo of dev boards and weirdo devices.

In the "ure3" system I mention, I would make retargetability/portability to other systems a first-class goal.

One way of achieving this is not having such a huge profusion of methods and complexity. Hyperscan is over-engineered for many use cases if you aren't a network company looking to scan 5,000 complex regexes in streaming mode at hopefully maximal performance.
As a Father of very young kids, I think this is nothing short of emergency. Not only commenting on kids videos should be banned, also youtube should heavily vet and tag all their kids related videos -- these days kids are hooked on watching cartoons and poems on youtube and a lot of times, there are really garbage videos targeting kids just showing little girls buying and playing with make ups, cleaning houses and learning about shopping.
I think you misunderstand me. I just don't want light bulbs on my network.
How was the Xerox Alto done in only 3 months?
YT isn't really worried about the kids/parents.

They're worried about the Feds in the same way that craigslist was worried about the Feds when they scrapped their "escorts" section. (And the same way that Backpage should have been worried about the Feds when they hosted their "escorts" section.) If the Feds find that pedophilia stuff on your servers, you better have a good lawyer. Which I assume YT does, and just like craigslist, they have concluded that the nuclear option is the one that will keep the maximum number of executives out of federal court.

My question is this, is there a better way? Is there a way to prevent these undesirable comments other than just taking comments down for everyone?

I understand YT's position. They have to make money, and their executives would just as soon not receive the Backpage treatment. That said, is there a better way?
When I was one-handed for a while after surgery, I would use my phone's speech-to-text function often to send emails. Far faster than one-handed typing.

This is not only static vs dynamic typing. Rust provides a set of abstractions seldom found elsewhere. The borrow checker, for instance.

It is more a question of semantics.

Fascinating and very timely for me. I was privileged to sit through a talk by the head of cancer immunotherapy at our institution where he was explaining the past, present and future journey of cancer immunotherapy research and this exact topic of mouse model applicability to human subjects came up. His TLDR on this was that differences are likely due to -
1. Controlled lines of mice bred specifically to minimize confounding during pre-clinical studies
2. Immune response activation pathways differing from "in the wild" situations for actual subjects
3. The immense diversity of gut microbiota, their temporal and inherited gene signatures and impacts on drug metabolism which are incredibly hard to control for in experiments

Very nice to see an approachable post out there outlining a lot of these issues.
It's not as easy as it sounds
a) to get out of reach you have to get your whole family out of reach, or accept that they may be punished on your behalf https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/china-u...
b) to get into anywhere else legally you need travel documents from the Chinese government, or to apply for asylum which isn't a given - or you can choose to live illegally in one of the neighboring countries, which often means that any children you have will not be citizens of that country and China may not grant them citizenship either. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/27/world/asia/china-uighurs-...

I can't, they were removed.

But seriously: YT is just hiding the problem by disabling comments; pushing it under the rug.
For public sector it's inherently risky to buy software and even devices. They often lack the capacity to properly outline what they need, to understand what's possible, to know the real cost/price they'd need to offer to get good results for tenders, and most importantly lack the ability to write for technical tenders to get what they need.

The effect of that if something is running well often the most rational solution is to leave it running. Yes it might not be the most efficient solution, but it might still be more cost effective than losing 3 months of work due to conversion to a new system, in addition to all the extra cost, training, downtime, ...

In the current ecosystem more and more also seems to be license based. Do you really want to change a decently running system with just occasional maintenance cost for an untested system that will change all existing processes and in addition ups your annual cost by quite a bit? Any time you change a system you probably have to change some additional systems too as suddenly things don't work together anymore....

Cities are often stretched for resources ranging from (good) personnel to financial to physical space to ... It's probably in many cases the rational decision to stick with how it is if the system mostly works.

Video Breakdown of the Perfect SaaS Landing Page Formula
I agree with you, he doesn't write/speak about that topic like somebody who's just uninformed and is ready to learn. He uses invalid arguments and false claims there, which is not contributing to anything but, like you say, his "credibility" among those that need to identify with such public personas, for whatever reason they have. And his is getting "attention". It would not be different if he were a flat earther, and it's equally worthless.
The problem with systems like this is that your success rate is based on quantity of data, and not quality. The more data you have on a candidate, the more likely that candidate will move forward. This shifts the focus from knowing the job, to polishing your profile.

Simply put, your "performance gauge" as a programmer is directly correlated to your knowledge and expertise, NOT to how well you are at updating your profile and recommendations.

To me this is primary problem of hiring websites at the moment. It creates a sort of game that you can then get better at (but which I don't care for, and unfortunately creating a disadvantage for myself).
As a ground rule, I aim to reconcile different aspects of a "career", like work-life balance, salary, future prospects. This is an ongoing
process, there is no master plan for me. I don't aim for roles, money or status. I believe that most of that is by chance anyway.
Instead, I let myself be guided by my interests, and try to be open for opportunities at the same time.

Most of the time I try to save energy and to avoid pressure. But if I sense something worthwhile, I can work really hard and go for the extra mile. For instance, at some point I realized unexpectedly, that I was aiming for a good university degree. So I pushed hard, and in the end my thesis was among the very best. This suddenly enabled my PhD studies, which enabled some grants, insights and relationships. I didn't plan to do a PhD, but it turns out that having one is also very useful outside academia. Therefore, instead of being powdered in the post doc mill, I left academia timely. Now working in industry, I lay dormant until I sense another capture.
Again, I more or less do, what currently interests me (C/C++, Linux stack). This might change soon, and I would switch then in a heartbeat.

So I would advice you to avoid doing something, what you struggle against.
Don't let yourself press or lure into some fixed scheme you don't like. Instead, find out what is important to you, what interests you, and go with the flow. Be patient, but don't hesitate to switch, if there is a good opportunity. As a software engineer, there should be plenty of it.

It IS newish and it is fair to be cautious of new things, but this one may stick around for awhile, as it's mostly just a modification/refinement of what Emscripten was already doing successfully https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten acting as a build target for the vast majority of C/C++ code out there, and Emscripten is not at all new. Here are some demos/examples to show what it's already accomplished: https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/wiki/Porting-E...

And JavaScript itself (for better or worse) isn't going anywhere, it is literally "too big to fail" at this point.

I'm a web developer and have been following this space since the Web came out, these are just my best educated guesses. I would deem "developing with a target of HTML5/Canvas/JS/emscripten/wasm" to be future-proof for the foreseeable future (the next 10 years).
