It is a jupyter notebook, not a python script. Your proposal won't work.

You generally don't open a notebook from the commandline, you open it from the notebook file picker inside your browser.

You generally don't "run" a notebook, like you would a script. It is an interactive programming environment.

Unfortunately it isn't unexpected. It has been pretty clear that the current policy is favoring older domestic businesses over the cluster based "knowledge economy". The opportunity cost of having Bromma Airport taking up useful land is enormous. So is not investing in regional development.
IMHO, you are overthinking it. If it looks good, go for it.
Don't forget Oculus. Facebook has a big foot in VR for better or worse.

Most of this is, as you've correctly spelled out, just due to perverse incentives, and there's not really any intentional malfeasance. The REAL problems start when you get a neurotic psychopath with a modicum of power, and an agenda to climb the ladder, who pushes through ideas they KNOW are bad for the company, as a whole, in the long run, but do so anyway because they know it will help their career in the short run. I've been powerless to try to stop this from happening at two Fortune 250's.
The text editor Vis (https://github.com/martanne/vis, previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15710533, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11445389) is explicitly inspired by sam's structural regular expressions.
Off-topic, but I subscribe to the notion that ADD and ASD share a broader spectrum if not a common neurological pathology. DSM-V changed the rules overnight and now it’s very common for ASD and ADD comorbidity to be positively diagnosed. My personal, lay-person (but diagnosed) opinion is both spectrum definitions are “wrong” and I hope we’ll have more objective diagnostic criteria in the near future.

An issue with ASD is the prevalence of higher intelligence levels that mask occurrence of ADD - until those people advance their education or careers until a point where it becomes a problem - and then it becomes a real problem.

Do you have an opinion or position on the subject of ASD/ADD comorbidity?
Crystal is very exiting ATM, next release is scheduled to come with multithread preview.
The mindset I have seen is less fear, more "if I don't understand this, how could anyone else?"
Which it often does. Our platform had 70 VMs and many operational dependencies bewteen them.
Not everybody handles 5 containers per project.
That won't work. When we say "constant-time code" what we really mean is "code whose running time is independent of its input". It won't really be constant due to factors like the OS scheduler and the initial state of the CPU's instruction cache.

What you really want is https://github.com/agl/ctgrind or something similar.
My car is only five years old but already has two sensors that have gone bad in the engine. Neither of them are vital and everything works great despite the occasional check engine light. Redundancy. It's a time intensive process to pop the head off and replace sensors. Nobody wants to pay their mechanic $100 an hour if they can avoid it.

I can't even imagine a sensor failure having zero redundancy, much less changing control inputs to a complicated system like a multi-engine jet. This is completely against everything I know about engineering and I find even discussion of this being possible to be deeply offensive. The fact that it happened twice and hundreds of people are dead is just mind boggling.

First, no one is talking about getting paid incredibly less (especially if you factor in COLA). It's more generally about not maximizing for only salary. Second, unless you want to work in one of the big companies, why work where it is only engineers bidding on houses? Engineers have the luxury right now of taking less pay and still making much more than a large majority of the population.
Actually, those functions are intrinsics in the Go compiler on many platforms, so the compiler generates a single ADD / ADC opcode. The source code that you see is a fallback for backends that have not implemented them as intrinsics yet.
Do we know they are "real" followers?
uBlock Origin supports[0] both network filtering where requests to an ad cdn or domain are blocked before the network connection is ever made, and it also supports cosmetic filtering where elements can be hidden after the fact - but this is mostly for blocking intrusive popups or dialogue boxes and the like rather than for blocking ads. The vast majority of filter lists that come with uBlock Origin are network filters where ad domains are blocked outright. As uBlock Origin uses the Adblock Plus filter syntax it's not difficult to use ABP filters or to port hostfile filters over.

There are companies such as Wolfram (Mathematica), Mathworks (MATLAB), or COMSOL (COMSOL Multiphysics). There are many other companies that build software for Engineers and Scientists. Just make sure to get a job working on the real guts of these software (rather than say, touching up the UI or import/export filters). You'd probably need to know a lot of math to get these jobs though.
Those brilliantly designed ideas used in Plan 9's 'sam' and 'acme' editors were taken from how Mesa XDE, Mesa/Cedar and Oberon used to work across the whole OS, not just the text editor.

So a proof that even that point needs better research. :)

Since we are on a Lisp thread, same applies to those that just bother with Emacs, eventually SLIME, withouth ever spending one second with actual Common Lisp IDEs.
Correct. It is impossible for a generic signed/unsigned N-bit library to perform as efficiently as a specific uint128 code path.

I would argue that the people at the top making these decisions are not ignorant about what is going on.
Agree with this sentiment - the workflows available in slack for doing this would be clunky. I have a phone but I would rather use a laptop camera for some discussions - e.g.: doing demos.
I don't think it's as much about stupid questions or reading docs, stupid questions can be OK and sometimes people just haven't learned there are loads of docs yet. Instead, when you read SO questions, for example, there some you can tell are coming from a place of, "just tell me what to do" and not "how can I do this?"

I work in UX design and I see similar things on site related to that field. It's becoming popular so you can tell when some people think, "If I do X and Y then I am now magically a UX designer (or programmer)." Sometimes they literally ask, "how do I become a UX designer?" You can spot the smart beginners because they ask, "what is UX design?" The former is only interested in the destination while the latter is interested in the journey.

They're not interested in learning out even in the field itself, they just want to style themselves as such and simply ask others how to do the magical rituals required that they have no actual understanding of.

It's a fine line, because by no means am I lumping all beginners into this category. These people happen to look a lot like beginners, but even the real beginners are more knowledgeable.

This doesnt make sense without actually developing their skills first. That's really the second stage of the parent conment's idea.
Nvme is an interesting development in storage.

It does away with layers of abstraction and gives you 4x pcie lanes pretty much straight to the device.
The blog post you link explicitly mentions that they have 1080p streams (and since then they have added 4k). That post makes no claims about 720p being sufficient for consumers.

And if you have the right combination of browser, os, Intel CPU, GPU and monitor to have intact DRM of the required level, Netflix will stream you the 1080p or 4k stream

Manufactured Discontent and Fortnite
Testosterone and estrogen studies are quite interesting in that they are marinated in cultural bias. A lot of studies that historically linked aggression with testosterone or estrogen with mood swings have later been found to be on shaky ground.

Funny enough, estrogen has also been linked to increased aggression just as testosterone. You take a baboon and look at when females act most violently and it spikes just as estrogen spikes. Same for violence in women prisons. At the same time, depression also spikes which further suggest that estrogen causes wild mood swings.

But when we look at more modern studies a new pattern is emerging. For high social status individuals we see the exact same pattern as old studies, but as we go down the social ladder the picture change. For testosterone the current findings seem to link it to increases learned behavior when a individual has their social status challenge. That response in baboons is always more violence, but directed at the nearest individuals below them on the social ladder. For estrogen you see a drop in violence as you go down the social status ladder, while isolationing behavior goes up.

An other relative recent finding is that hormone secretion increase in men after winning social status. Unsurprising that correlated in animal studies when males has the highest probability of reproduction.

Hormones are useful when explaining behavior linked to reproduction, and in that you do get some gender differences. I would however be a bit cautious. A good talk I would recommend is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bnSY4L3V8s&t=30m17s as it explore this a bit further.
Yeah divorce is a sticky situation. And there's no way to be 100% certain. But if a contract or other agreement involving money is the topic of discussion, it's safe to assume that it might be used as evidence.

How do you map the rendered dom elements to the php source files?
Netflix 4k streams are like 25Mbps at best. The US average broadband speed in 2017 was around 50Mbps. There is no problem getting 4k to consumers.

Whether or not they have a 4k display... that is probably the blocker. I have a 4k display but it's not my primary display (instead opting for a 165Hz 1440p panel) and I never bothered to buy a 4k TV, given how dirt-cheap high-end 1080p TVs are. Would much rather have the black blacks of a $500 1080p OLED TV than a $3000 washed-out 4k LCD.
Oh come on. I have only played Dark Souls 1 but it's not even a particularly difficult game. Just look up guides and summon and you can breeze through it.

There's a certain amount of "artistic vision" to a game like Dark Souls and I see no need to compromise that to pander to people not willing to put the effort in (and make no mistake, effort is the only factor at play here). The difficulty is part of the game; if you don't like it, you just don't like the game. Don't play it, don't demand it to pander to you.
what.cd is a similar example in the music department.

What other architecture would you recommend? There's no single entity which can be trusted to maintain a centralized database.
Pretty sure the latest version of HRCP (required for 4k Netflix) replaces the factored keys and the entire key scheme.
Three Principles to Staying Sane While Running a Startup
Verifying a user's email by collecting their password is ineffective for users with 2FA enabled and reckless/malicious for those (the majority) without it.

Accidentally log that data somewhere, and you've opened a way for attackers to take over your users bank accounts, social media, and pretty much every other online account, as they all rely on email verification.

If we had privacy laws with teeth, somebody at FB would be calculating how many millions in liability each piece of data collected represents. This one would be astronomical and an automatic "no" by those calculations.
The bus driver of the 'skipping bus' also has to be reasonably confident that the next bus will show up shortly. Otherwise, as a passenger, it's very frustrating to see one zoom by: but if you can see another one down the road, then you won't be freak out.

> Saving, and loading to see how each choice plays out means the dynamic is "how can I get the best?" rather than "what would this person do?".

I agree this changes the dynamic of a game. On the other hand, is it a bad thing? If someone is more interested in "getting the best" rather than finding out "what would this person do", then why should they be denied such freedom?
Sounds like a failure that you orchestrated
Most of it is not due to religion but the sheer overwhelm that you just shut off your senses. You can keep on giving and giving and giving and giving and giving. It will not stop.

Most people, I know, middle class Indians who are doing decent financially and career wise have tried to help a lot - financially, volunteering, advising etc etc - and quite a bit of them have just found their lives, senses and mental health overrun. At that point you just develop a barrier which, seen from a western perspective, looks like apathy.

And there’s still a lot more to this complex issue. Ascribing it to a belief in religion is grossly simplifying the ground reality - which is very convenient for the purpose of discourse but completely misses the iceberg for its tip.
I like JavaScript's (old?) solution to the indexed argument problem: the implicit `arguments` parameter. I haven't bothered looking into the rationale for why that wasn't carried over into arrow functions, but I miss it when debugging programs written using ES6.

I'd be interested to know if anything similar was considered during the discussions around adding indexed arguments to Ruby.

I don't understand how they can login for you on any of the popular email providers.

Gmail, for example, detects a new computer by cookie and "fingerprint" (ip address, browser, UA, etc). You then get 2fa'd or at least "robot checked".

How did they make this a smooth experience?
In the UK, that's definitely an overstatement. Many league games, and major cup games remained (and possibly still are) on free to view TV.

In contrast, for the last few years, only half the races have been free to view. As of this year, only one race a year is available to watch for free.

Shame, as the last race (Bahrain 2019) was possibly the best race I've seen in years.

I think there are many services for social media that ask for your account password so they can post in your name on Instagram or Twitter when you post a Youtube video or whatnot. Not to mention the shadier services that do the follow-unfollow dance.
> uniqc is a handy alias I use to left-justify and tab-separate the tally numbers from uniq -c: alias uniqc="uniq -c | sed 's/^[ ]*//;s/ /\t/'"

I did this exact thing down to the name of the alias few years ago. The choice of space characters as separator in the uniq command is hard to understand. Is this a case of a design flaw turned feature?
Are you sure he wrote it? Rumor has it that Wolfram had his grad students/postdocs write Mathematica and is essentially trampling on their backs making money off of it now.

I've taken the TransSib (or TransMongolian, in this case) from Ulaanbaatar to Moscow. It's pretty much 4 days, just short of 100 hours. No showers, and the restaurant car was so-so; I mostly ate nuts and snacks: the train would stop some 10 minutes or so at stations, and there were kiosks on the platform to stock up. You really need to take some good books or good friends.

Agreed. This is a thinking problem not even a programming problem. That question could be answered without a single line of code. Of course what the asked was probably looking for was all the code necessary, written for them.

The productivity gains from SO awesome. That site has provided me with more value than maybe anything else on the web. To me it represents some of the best of what the internet has to offer: Not only are you not alone with your problems, but there's help available.
Yeah, me too. I know that cats wandering in the neighborhood can be very bad for the local bird species though. On the other hand, I doubt that your-typical-house-cat would able to survive anywhere close to being wild, especially in Australia.
There was also probably some "Well, financial sites/tax softwares do it and they have much higher security requirements than we do!".

Let's not underestimate the power of precedents: someone else said it was crazy at ANOTHER COMPANY, didn't get their idea through, and now other companies are copying it.

Additionally, a lot of people in the comments mentioned how engineers are ignored. Being able to convince your peers (like a product manager) of something is a skill, one that is fairly uncommon among "top tech talent", but happens to be a minimum requirement for roles like PMs. Saying "We can't do that, it's crazy!" and expecting everyone to just agree with you because you're awesome at coding just isn't going to cut it. Yeah, maybe the PM should have realized it was insane on their own. But let's consider that given hundreds or thousands of people in a company, crazy ideas might get deflected thousands of times, but it only take one "failure" for it to slip in.

That may be true, but the fact that they need the new path to make larger investments outsides of VC raises the question how much VC money will be left.
Furthermore the change still implies that they think other investment opportunities might be more profitable than the one they were actually quite successful in.
It's not manufactured controversy, the biggest accounts who are successful from these aggregation without permission practices are constantly under criticism from the creators whose work they are profiting off. If you think this is "manufactured" google "Fat Jew" or "Fuckjerry" those are 2 Instagram accounts that creators led unfollow protests against because they profit from other's content.

There's a ton of criticism of these practices, it's morally grey at best, I believe it's morally wrong.

It's not hard to see why this upsets creators. There are thousands of actual content creators, artists, comedians, writers, etc working on social media to make a name for themselves and develop a following (or maintain a following, some of the people aggregators steal from are very successful). These people do the hard work of making original content that is interesting. They suffer failure, they launch new projects and ideas and do a ton of hard work. Then the aggregator accounts skim off the top of the entire network, don't pay the creators and end up with thousands to millions in ad money without doing any of the original & difficult creative work. Rip off at scale is far more lucrative than doing the hard work of making original material.

But the lower effort rip off at scale is only possible profiting off of people doing hard work for free.
Fascinating. In Britain it's long been recognised that our frequently innovative design engineering is often let down by poor production engineering. Many exmples can be cited: most F1 cars are UK built, but we no longer have an mass market car producer. Everything built by Jaguar and Land Rover! Spitfires took four times as many man hours to build as ME109s. The Rolls Royce Merlin was the best aero engine available to the Allies early in the war, but was effectively hand built. When Packard started building Merlins for the P51 they had to retro fit the production engineering tolerances to the design [2]. So I'm surprised to learn that tank production engineering was so poor. I wonder which models were most affected? Panzer III or IV? King Tiger?
