Had to look it up to be sure, since I didn't recognize the name, but it looks like this refers to using limits to "invent" differentiation?

If so, yeah, we did it that way too, in 11th or 12th grade. (Had the same teacher both years, can't remember when exactly Calc was)

I remember it involving a lot of drawings of graphs so we could understand what each term referred to, and can't really imagine an easier way to learn it.
Also, added in a recent version of the language (as part of 2020) you can simply use 'Image directly on an object saving you a bit of typing : ). And let me let you in on a secret Ada programmers don't talk about or put in examples - you don't have to type the Identifier at the end of the procedures!

with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;
procedure Outp is
procedure Foo (A : in out Integer) is
begin
Put_Line (A'Image);
end;
A : Integer := 12;
begin
Foo (A);
end;
You can use passive radar for surveillance radars, but is it any good for tracking and guidance radars? If your radar stations can see F-35s, but your interceptors and SAM batteries can't fire at it, the stealth is still useful.
> IMO it's still on them if they didn't do the research on what their outcome might look like. I absolutely loved physics in high school and chose to study computer science because I knew it would pay my bills. 8 years later I am not regretting my decision at all.

This is that corrosive individualist idea that the community has zero responsibility for its members, so we get to wash our hands of each individual's failure. It's wrong. Often the individual can't "do the research" to accurately estimate their outcome, such as when they're so disadvantaged they don't know where to start, or when they've been lied to.

I'm somewhat unsure what they actually changed, I'm really hoping they didn't just abandon the RSS feeds.

As of 9:20 Eastern, I don't yet see the second release of BBC global news that I would expect to see for yesterday, which does not bode well.

If you take away RSS, it's not even a podcast anymore.
The 20mph limit is too low. Transportation is for efficiency.
It also makes sense why the most common verbs are irregular in most languages: to have us pick the direct word quickly, instead of the slower way of deriving it from a rule.

So, they're like "constants" vs calling a function to calculate a value.

> [...] move to Glacier being a different storage tier in S3

I am almost certain they are playing catchup here, given that GCP had this feature for ever ("coldline" storage class), last time I checked it was more expensive though.
I would say yes. It’s no more a podcast player than the old AOL client was a web browser.

Funny enough, while HNers always complain about Apple’s “walled garden”, the Apple podcast player subscribes directly to the host’s RSS feed. Once you subscribe to a podcast, Apple’s servers are no longer involved.
I think this is a side-effect of the way our educational system is structured. We rely on big, standard tests to evaluate schools and their students. It would be too expensive, and somewhat subjective, to evaluate students' reasoning abilities, their conceptual knowledge. Can you imagine if these tests were evaluated by rooms full of people reading proofs, rather than by bubble-sheet scanners? So we test what we can test, which is procedural knowledge, and we teach that at the expense of deeper understanding. And because the best way of measuring procedural knowledge is to measure how many procedures you know, we race students forward to as much calculus as they can memorize.
A non-human voice is a valid goal, but a human non-gendered voice is a different thing.

Please recognise that agender people are both human and genderless.

This talk is completely irrelevant to the paper in question.
What strikes me as odd is the objective of making the interface more human-like in some dimensions but less in others. Like you say, no one's talking to a human, but a thing. Users should be aware of that whichever the case.

And I should add that the onus of not perpetuating vicious stereotypes should fall on the shoulders of the users, not the designers. It seems to me that the idea of ever needing a genderless voice assumes that people are the passive victims of some evil ether that permeates their demeanour.

This is not to say that the project is not interesting - trying to capture the essences of human speech is quite a noble endeavour in itself, and it makes us more in touch with who we are.
My subjective experience of flow states[1] makes me believe this is true. In these states thinking feels much less discrete (which is something language seems to impose) and more continuous. Any programmer knows what this feels like when you get into a serious coding session. You get to the point where all the principles of programming fade from your attention and focus more on how information is being shaped by your program (learning Haskell brought this to a new level for me). There have been times where I couldn't even explain what I had done in words, which gives me further evidence that flow is related to breaking down this linguistic imposition.

From my experience that is generally true with languages that have strong static type systems (like Haskell and Rust).

with deflation, you will only invest in good, safe investments. Taking risks gives less rewards, so you should end up with less speculation and wasted investments. I think deflation makes for a more stable financial world, as it will take away the booms and busts cycles. Economic growth only occurs when real technological and productivity improvements happen, rather than the current way of speculation and wealth redistribution via betting on boom/bust cycles.

I make no (other than conversational) claims without backing them up, how many claims has OP made without providing evidence for?

> Boeing is huge, and what they develop is incredibly complex. There are a lot of people with differing level of competence, ethics, and goals.

That is true... however it's also true both of the big aerospace companies have an abundance of very smart engineers who by their very nature would have been responsible enough and inquisitive enough to notice this defect even if it was not their direct responsibility (good engineers will step out of their box).

Knowing how vital that sensor is (regardless of the stupid reason for it being vital) and not building in redundancy is such an obvious flaw to any engineer - The reason with almost certainty will have been because that multiple observations of this safety flaw would have been squashed by some big execs due to the business requirements and economics and a severe lack of morals.

There's no free lunch in radar. Long wavelength radars can give a general indication of an aircraft's location but aren't precise enough for targeting. They're also more subject to interference. And the antennas are larger, which makes them more vulnerable.

The F-22 is out of production and there's no practical way to build more. So regardless of its comparative merits it's not an alternative.

Ada was the first language I learned at the University of North Dakota's Computer Science program in 1996.

Since the university is known for its Areospace program, I guess that made sense to pick Ada as their primary language.

Australian citizens, regardless of their location are obliged to comply with these requests.

Extra-territorial law application is very complex. KP is one of the few places where you can routinely expect to be prosecuted in Australia for breaches overseas. or FGM. Or, more recently the war in Syria but bear with me: do you not also recognize that there is a huge reluctance to try and enforce the law in that last regard? because it turns out simply being somewhere is not neccessarily a good basis to declare you broke the law, noting that few if any of the people seeking to come home took up arms, and specifically took up arms against Australia or her allies.

They also have to serve the request on you. Simply issuing it doesn't make it binding surely? You have to be formally notified.

Lastly, since you can reveal it to your lawyer, I would argue that it implies they believe it could be mis-applied, or you can have a case in law to contest its applicability.

And, included in the notice begs the question: do we have any indication aside from hypothetically speaking, that a TAR/TAN/TCN has or can be drafted which doesn't include the employer and IPR holder in the notice?

>Age discrimination doesn't get the same coverage as gender, race or sexual orientation discrimination.

That's because the vocal parts for the "gender, race or sexual orientation discrimination" are mainly white well-off younger people.

Gender causes naturally draw them in. And through they are predominantly white, race causes make them appear as hip and invested in other cultures.

For them being old is not a reality. If it's anything, it's obscene. Why don't these old people just die?

That's the same reason those giving coverage to "gender, race or sexual orientation discrimination" also get a free pass on pissing on poor people (whether "white trash" or black/latinos/etc when they're not subjected to race-driven but poverty driven abuses).

When a meteorite hit the roof of a house
It happens, but usually for some decent reason.

Some companies for instance have a very stable business and keep a stable stack, but then hit a wall when trying to hire. They'll see average people coming to them, but those are not as efficient as their current staff who is now super experienced and want people who can match them.

Or they'll try to find graduate level people to train forward, but newcomers have no interest in the old stack, as it won't pimp their resume that much to their eyes.

Solution: keep using trendy frameworks.

Veterans will be happy to see shiny things, recruiting becomes that much easier, buzzword capacity increases all other the map. And all of these have a real benefit, in people retention, hiring cost, marketing opportunities that can cover the man/hour cost of moving frameworks.
Bharat(along with India) is a constitutionally recognized name. So it is actually used in official context. But the general convention is India for English, and Bharat for Hindi(and some other languages like Marathi).

> So why use a European name, shouldn't it be an "Indian" name.

It's difficult to answer. I think Indians usually don't have much problem with foreign words. The day-to-day Hindi is somewhat influenced by Persian and even the word for the majority religion (Hindu) has a Persian origin. But in case of English worded cities, it quickly becomes problematic as they were named during the colonial period.
Thats quite an interesting question. Filtering is not publishinng, the content is user generated. However they are taking on an editorial role. Also, they are not a newspaper, so terminology from that kind of medium might not be useful.

Yes. People with money would choose to ignore them and they would wind up being peripheral slums and shanty towns because there aren't public services being built out to support the capacity.

> it is still less efficient because of its much bigger bureaucratic overhead.

Have you never interacted with a telecom provider or health insurance company? Heavily regulated industries and monopoly industries tend to approach messy bureaucracies as well. The messiness of bureaucracy comes from having to suit everyone's needs rather than just ignoring segments of the population that aren't profitable to serve.

This article of faith that government is inherently more bureaucratic or less efficient than the private sector is just not borne out by anything but religious devotion. The assumptions of perfectly fungible goods in a perfectly competitive market, which provides the theoretical basis for the idea of market efficiency, doesn't even hold in real estate.
