Saying "Don't do premature optimization" is easy. By saying "premature" you're already implying that you can tell when something is premature. What's hard is when you don't know when something early will come back to bite you later.
He doesn‘t have to leave. He just can‘t stand as a mayor anymore. No Brit has to leave, that has been clarified by all EU host countries.
I don't really like the idea of A/B/C players. In my opinion context is king. Let's say you're a very creative person, you might struggle at a big shop where the hard problems are mostly solved and maintenance and teamwork are the main things which are valued. On the other hand, you might be excellent at a small company that's finding its way. Or vice versa -- some people really need the structure a more established company can offer. You even see this in CXX level positions. A person might be an excellent CEO for a company that's just starting, and a terrible CEO for a multibillion dollar established business. So a first class player in one context can easily be a third class person in another.
The problem here is not a software bug—-the software performed as designed, the design was just bad.
Also, I think if you swipe left from the home screen, there is a button at the top next to the ... menu (that's the Updates menu). This brings up your coming up next, weather, and other cards like that. It's always been there since they started showing need by default.
> Except we're specifically replying to a comment from someone claiming they could feel 5G.

By standing next to the tower. That is a known effect from high power radio transmitters. You can feel that because it's starting to cook you the same way a microwave oven does, to varying degrees depending on the transmitter power. If you stand too close to a large military RADAR transmitter it can kill you dead on the spot.

Then the response is referring to studies done at the power levels of an individual cell phone, and no surprise it's difficult to feel that. But the effects of long term exposure are a different matter.

Moreover, with 5G they're increasing the density of the towers, which implies building towers with closer proximity to people.
It was for mine (2006-2010), but significantly more limited than you'd expect. It was essentially bare minimum, focused on theory, and could be summarized as "SELECT .. FROM .. INNER JOIN .. WHERE .."

Most of the focus was on things like database normalization instead of practical usage. I recall upon starting my first job, a co-worker gave me a crash course in what exactly a LEFT JOIN was (though at this point it had been ~3 years since the college database course, which had been so lackluster I hadn't used one during those years).
I found the alarm clock quite annoying to use. Usually I want to set an exact time. A slider, be it round or linear, is better suited to tuning something while watching for feedback.

That's how faders are used on physical sound mixers as well. You slide it until you hear what you want.

On Meego switching between apps was way way smoother than android though.
No, it makes zero sense.

My grandfather had advanced Parkinson's, but had zero intention of dying to it or its cornucopia of related symptoms/effects. So what if he has a major disease that made life many orders of magnitude worse for him? Life is still life, and death is still infinitely worse.

Giving up and accepting death may seem reasonable to some, but not for me or my grandfather. There's always a root cause, and there's always a way to keep going.

Giving up is suicide.
If that were actually true, it would be an incredible medical discovery.

The muscles in your legs that are effected, are they biological muscles? Your legs aren't the artificial limbs your username is referring to, are they? Your story is much more plausible if your legs are artificial.
> This idea of "regions" is infuriating
> Spotify has shown the right way to do it

Sorry but no. Spotify is not available anywhere but in a few selected regions.
In some US states the doctors propose a plan, and if the parents of the child disagree with that plan they can go to court to get an injunction to prevent the doctors carrying it out.

Compare that with England. The doctors propose a plan, and if the parents disagree with it the doctors go to court to get an order. The court has to look at the child's best interests and the paramountcy principle means that while everyone's (parents and childs) rights are looked at it's the rights of the child that take priority.

> associated with doctors deciding to "kill people's children,"

They can already do this in most of the US.
A Scots pine.

It wouldn't be 'a scot pine'
I think one mistake from the author is the believe that somehow, an interview process is supposed to be fair.

It's not. Nature is not fair. School is not fair. Dating is not fair. And so on. We try to build fair societies, but right now, they are not.

And interview processes are really, really unfair. Being disappointed they are not and writing a rant about how to them more fair is very naive.

Interviews are most of the time social evaluations packed with negotiation. Very often, even the ones that pretend to be technical interviews.

Why ? Because humans are imperfect and limited. Most interviewers are just not capable of an effective recruitment process, no matter how they believe they are, not to mention a fair one.

So the advice to send here is not "make your recruitment process better". People that are able to will, and don't need this article to do so. People that can won't, and the article won't change their mind.

No, the advice is to the people looking for a job: don't take it personally, randomness takes big role in the process. But if you want to maximize your chances, you need to work on your social skills. Especially the ones that make them feel good about the interview, and value you.

You need technical skills to be good at your job. To be able to apply at high skill ones, to network with people with alike skills, to have fun, to negociate money.

But to nail the interview, you need more.
I used to absolutely hate it, to the extent where I would actually take the time and effort to switch to old.reddit.com whenever I got served the new redesign.

BUT after a few months of having the new design being pushed in my face, and forced to engage with it, I've kind of mellowed out. Infinite scroll is annoying, otherwise I find the look and feel is reasonably pleasant, and a little more "2019".

It does feel like a pretty unnecessary redesign though. Does anyone know if Reddit has published any stats showing what the redesign accomplished? I'd be curious to know.
Yes, I've been planning to learn GNU Radio. Thanks for pointing me to other interesting projects, too. I feel like I'll need to gain a better understanding of radio technology, though.
Yawn. I can see where this is going. If people don't show an outward display of fevered anti-Brexit sentiment they are immediately shot down as somehow pro-Brexit. It's not that binary. I'm very anti-Brexit, but I'm sick of these disingenuous woe is me articles.
Sparse data. Neural nets (for example) do horribly at this sort of thing; they're data hungry.

It's super difficult to beat something like linear regression in this sort of thing (ideally combined with domain knowledge -something neural approaches mostly fail at), and even linear regression gives awful results.
Cool, thanks. I generally love TS, but I have one project which I converted to TypeScript, and then reverted back to ES7, because the project is quite complex and the overhead of TS was not worth it. I wonder if by using this Jsdoc/ts strategy in critical sections I can get 80% of the benefit.
> This move is very counter to Apple’s privacy stance.

Apple are in a firm position unlike anyone in the industry to not suffer losses by taking a strong stance on privacy, and that's why its believable... but that doesn't make it true?
I wonder if people making this comparison will appreciate the irony if someday it proves that the same situation applies here (I.e. user error).
I think the comment is getting at the fact that a knob/dial actually has a physical affordance (being grabbed and twisted), which is absent on a smooth glass surface. Hence, aiming to create interactive dials on a touchscreen is an inherently challenging endeavor.
This comment is off topic and trying to bait an argument off of a single throwaway line in the article.
The article very much sounds like a checklist on how to design one's own keyboard layout. Only few of the items really require building your own keyboard.
Yes, the key word in your argument is “if.” Who are these people who go around buying brand new cars and then selling them at huge losses shortly afterwards? It’s just not that common to find a guy who is selling a car like that who also has complete records on all the maintenance. At least in the us where people are very attached to their cars and also lazy.
All deaths can be traced back to some kind of profit motive, but I don't see you protesting every hospital/doctor on the planet.

It's incredibly dangerous to propose changes to the FAA, given how much of an unqualified success they've had over the years at keeping flight safe. Don't let y our populist rage kill probably one of the best/most successful government institutions the US has ever created.
And I'm not trying to be a Scots Inquisition, just interested in language usage :-)
Planet Earth is an example of the medium used well I think - amazing footage of reality that would be very expensive, time consuming and difficult to observe first hand, presented with fairly light editorializing.

I personally haven't got the same value from TV fiction. Mad Men is good example - I watched it because it was widely praised and I got somewhat caught up in wanting to know what happened next but in retrospect I really don't feel I got anything much out of it and I would like those hours of my life back. I feel the same about almost everything I watched while I had a Netflix subscription.

I've got nothing against pure entertainment. I've found Game of Thrones entertaining and will likely watch the final season with my fiancé. I continue to watch the occasional popcorn movie at the cinema. There's very little TV and only a few movies that feel they rise beyond entertainment to something like literature however.

If you get value out of TV and movies I've got no problem with that. As someone who used to watch a lot of both and now feels that was largely a waste of my time though I just no longer see much value there.

The "thank you" emails seems to be a tradition/expectation of the classic corporate culture where the employer has a extreme amount of candidates for each opening and each candidate must please the interviewer at all cost. (e.g. a extreme imbalance in power between employer/candidate).

Quite contrary to the "startup" culture where there is a limited amount of candidates for each opening and where it's acknowledged that candidates might get multiple offers (e.g. a more balanced employer/candidate power)
>Why do doctors continually perpetuate this notion that slipping softly into death (palliative care, hospice) is preferable to continually trying to avoid it by way of riskier and riskier attempts at treating the root cause?

I think one reason is because they see people with terminal diagnosis take a beating from heavy medication like chemo and being unable to spend time with their family instead of just taking pain killers and spending their last months with family and friends.
+1 for playing some music as a form of break.
When I was younger I often practiced simple songs on a tin-whistle, recorder, kaval or flute. I liked the saxophone the most but that requires too much maintenance, hence it's a distraction.
Humm, I don't think you can equal an SDK to an OS. Before getting this high level, you really have to start with a kernel to handle/manage device. And this as a lot of constraint that yous simply can not fulfill with a garbage collected language.

edit:
I wasn't at the point you mentioned yet. Well, IMHO, it is not just the GC, it is not having access to native pointer prevent you to implement algorithm that are keys in term of performance for a kernel. IIUC more savvy dev than me it might not even be possible to implement a kernel in Rust without "unsafe" (which give you access to those raw pointers)

Happy to be proven wrong though.
Sorry human suffering bores you. Feel free to let us talk about this issue on our own at any point!
The pdp 10 was introduced in 1966. DOS/360 was introduced in 1964, prior to the PDP 10. Thus, there was nothing to borrow when JCL was invented.

Again, what examples of existing languages were available at the time the JCL was invented?
Have you seen someone in excruciating pain for a long time without hope for improvement or experienced it yourself? It's really easy to talk tough while you are healthy but your opinion may change once you are in that situation.

From what I have seen I would prefer to go out in dignity at my own will instead of being an experiment of the medical machine. Others may feel different and I think both paths should be available.
It will not have to compete with fusion in the late 2030s. It will likely never have to compete with fusion. Fusion is just ridiculously bad from a practical point of view.
I have never understood why typed languages make you slower at any point in time (early, late etc.).

Because you have to hit more keystrokes to write your program?

That doesn't compute. typing is the thing you do the least amount of when programming. In all best practices we are taught to not save keystrokes. Name your variables expressively. write small functions. document code. Write tests. All ""excess"" keystrokes nobody questions. But when you have to type " ... : number" it's slow velocity?

In my opinion people vastly over-estimate productivity boosts of saving keystrokes. It's the tedious, boring part of the work that you would like to skip entirely, hence excess keystrokes feel way more "slowing you down" than they acutally are.

Although it doesn't matter, you actualy save keystrokes: autocomplete, auto-refactors and less low level unit-tests compensate the couple of type annotations easily.
Any bump, no, but any bump where the helmet provided any service to the wearer, yes.
As far as i know you use three sensors, so you can automatically compensate for one failing/misreporting sensor without human intervention.
No. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headli...)
younger versions of those same guys have hazings, too
One must learn that there are very few "rules" to anything in life. You must be skeptical that a person sharing their "rules" has a major experiential, interest driven ruleset they are trying to project onto every other domain.
No 737 has 3 AoA vanes, and it’s extremely unlikely they’ll ever change the design to accommodate that. Every MAX will have an indicator to show if they disagree though.
In many cases, there are no mistakes made. Imagine a doctor saying: "You're going out but if we inflict pain you will stay longer." What would you choose? Peace or pain? What would you want your relatives to choose for you? In case you can't decide anymore?

If the rest of my life will be nothing but pain, I don't think I'll want it.
Yes. And no, my opinion hasn't changed.

What does dignity buy you if you're dead? Nothing. You can have yours, I'll spend mine to stay alive as long as possible.
Once you experience the US public transportation system (trams, busses.. dit I mention Caltrain?), one realizes how good the Dutch system is. Practically none of my Dutch friends have a car. I don't know any one in the bay area without at least one.
I looked elsewhere in the paper and they said:

>P. gingivalis is mainly found during gingival and periodontal infections; however, it can also be found at low levels in 25% of healthy individuals with no oral disease (18).
I think this explanation can be simplified greatly.

It's an obstacle, literally in my way to fulfill my goal. Why wouldn't I be upset at least slightly about that?

To elaborate a bit more: I was minding my own business, in thoughts and happily walking at my own pace. Now I'm ripped out of this rather meditative state. My thoughts are interrupted, there as something challenging my goal of getting somewhere and I need to handle a sudden social or at least spacial situation.

Only now what one might want to call "zen" comes in to play. Now the question is if I can resort to ratio and figure a few seconds won't change a thing and I can quickly get back to my thoughts while they are still fresh.
True. I was working with OS/2 pre-releases at the time.

I guess this is something new even for legislatures and they have been slow to catch up as well.

Regarding asking the question to CEO, well, his company made that decision to integrate the SDK/Cookie with the product so he is partly accountable. It is a different scenario that he would not know anything specific about how the process works.
I googled for this news using every combination I could think of, because the services event last week or whatever, but couldn't find this. That was also the paragraph I left out - that I'm sure as soon as I relent and buy a new Apple TV they'll release an iTunes app for Roku. Anyway, thank you :thumbsup:
Boekenweek is organised by book stores, if you buy a book in that week you get an extra one free, the "boekenweek present". It's exclusively written for that edition boekenweek and can be used as a train ticket on sunday.

E-books have great features no doubt, but people buy them online, and traditional book stores aren't fans.
You don't.... That's why I said "and cut out if one disagrees with the other."

If they don't both give the same reading, MCAS turns off.
> Suppose Bob's codebase has a structure implA that implements interface A, and you want to use in terms of its interface. If the language requires Bob to declare implA as an implementation of A, you have to persuade him to do so in his codebase.

Not necessarily, in some lanugages you can add an interface to type even if the type is foreign and you only control the interface. I believe this can be done in Swift, Rust, F# and quite likely some others...
I totally agree with you, but the author's post is film-specific. For other mediums the situation is much brighter (but a long way to go), for example:

- bandcamp.com - once purchased, download music anywhere in any format you choose FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, MP3, etc.

- GOG.com - purchase and download completely DRM-free, offline playable games.

- Some e-book publishers now sell DRM-free e-books, including Tor books
> the nuclear reaction is not dependant on the wind blowing to produce energy

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough, I was alluding to the lively debate about how the selling price for electricity is set, and how it should vary depending on market conditions.

I see no reason to lock-in minimum pricing for any kind of electricity generation many decades in advance. Why is that necessary for new nuclear plants?

In other words: do we need to guarantee a minimum market price 30 years in advance in order to make it look like building a nuclear plant makes economic sense?
I don't know, rigor is really hard to define outside of sciences, and even then, a science can be not as rigorous as others and still tell you useful things. I mean, economics isn't quite as rigorous as physics, but it's still useful.

One of the hardest but most rewarding classes I took in college was creative writing. There's not a ton of "rigor" to that; a lot of it is really subjective, and even with the widely agreed upon rules, there are certainly times when it's useful to break them. But I learned a ton from that class all the same.
True, even in post-mortem debugging (assuming I have the objects from the heap), it's not like I'm going to exclude the addresses of objects in my write-ups (or as they're exposed via commands, such as !sosex.mdso[0]).

In native, if you're on the stack (e.g.: not using pointers), then addresses don't mean much of anything and if you're using pointers, memory optimisation means the address could mean feck-all after a cycle or two (assuming you've looking at an iDNA/TTT[1]).

So, to agree with you, who are agreeing with me: It is quite odd that this would be a principal argument for proquints.

Did I miss something in this comment? I don't understand the downvotes.
To me, they all sound like the names of lost cities from H. P. Lovecraft.

Not since the wretched dark sun last rose over Lusab-Babad, or the accursed sorcerer-priests of Haguz-Biram last spilled human blood on their altars, had such indescribable evil lurked in the shadows as now did amongst the filth-ridden canals and dank buttresses of Budov-Kuras, Budov-Kuras which squatted upon the forbidden ruins of Mudof-Sakat, even its name blotted from memory by the horror of its crimes.
FAA absolutely has regulatory authority over plane manufacturers in the United States, regardless of where their aircraft are flying.
Do you mean to argue that Boing and the FAA and / or any other regulatory bodies who approved the 737MAX should get a free pass due to their outstanding work over the past 30 years?

That doesn’t sound like an argument anyone would intentionally make.

They’ve done good work, great. But these two incidents represent a fall from grace, and both organisations should be pilloried for that incompetence especially because they have a history of high standards.
Two sides show up here, fear and avoidance of pain and suffering :: fear and avoidance of death.

Most of the comments here advocate accepting death to minimize pain, but it doesn't have to be one or the other. With the right mindset you can accept both gracefully.

A life in pain can be worth living without running towards or away from death.
That's your choice. As I said both options should be available.

In the end you will only know how you will really feel once you are in such a situation.

Permanence can be a big difference. What you did in class isn't going to follow you forever if it's only in your professor's head.
You can't compensate because you don't know which one is wrong. However you can make MCAS inactive whenever the two sensors are disagreeing with each other.
You forgot to quote/code block, and to add a second newline
super trendy SF "hot" company with increasing investment.. word is that they are going through engineers left and right.. they do all the recruitment, get super-high octane output from the hires, and then dump them at the first error or problem.. no end of candidates for this company, is the second part, due to positioning and mission.. The ones that stay tend to be "pleasers" who will take this kind of treatment and perform.. rumors only ymmv

True enough if you want detailed predictions, but the generalizations that are pretty much assured are bad enough. Will there be 3 feet of rise in that time? Unlikely. 1? Maybe, maybe not. How much rise does there actually need to be for raw sewage in the streets to be an issue any time there's a heavy rain?

The other thing is storm surge in hurricanes. Nobody can tell you now exactly how high future storm surges will be, but a foot of rise still means that the same amount of storm surge will be a foot higher than in the past - 2 feet higher than a century ago. With increasing storm intensity due to higher energy levels those surges and rainfall totals are only going to get higher.
