Grabs two co-founders were born in Malaysia and the execs are from all over the world.

Both are very successful companies but from the innovation perspective Gojek is most definitely the leader. You need only look at their offering (dozens of products built in house) in comparison to everyone else outside of china. Their food business is now bigger than the ride sharing for example, and their rollout of this was exceptional. Light-years ahead strategy wise of the rest at the time (grab/uber).

The only thing I can think of that Grab has executed on better is international expansion and the initial grab-car service was at one stage far more popular than go-car.

BigQuery bills based on amount of data read. BigQuery is a column-store database, so a read will always touch every row of a table, but only the columns actually used. So e.g. "SELECT * LIMIT 1" will read the entire table, while "SELECT SUM(transaction.total)" will only read 1 column out of potentially hundreds. The latter query will be billed identically as a filtered query like "SELECT SUM(transaction.total) WHERE transaction.total > 10." Filtering on a different column will be billed more, because it needs to read the second column as well, regardless of how many rows (if any!) contribute to the result set.

Idiomatic BigQuery will make use of partitioning, so that a large dataset will span multiple tables in a way that you only read the tables of interest. (E.g. the Google Analytics integration partitions by date, so reporting on 1 month of data will only read 30 tables out of the 1,500 you might have.)
Maybe I'm being provincial, but if your food standards leave you regularly inspecting your own stool for parasites before flushing, you might want to reconsider them.

People doesn't seem to understand that they cannot have word-to-word translation when it comes to Japanese vs Latin root languages. Also there are grammatical and syntactical rules that you cannot get right by an educated guess - "educated guesses" such Google translate...
See, Google translate doesn't care if a person doesn't know that when it comes to Proper names such as the name of a person the Kanji reads in a completely different way than the regular dictionary words.
There is no translation for these class of words just as there is none for words like Jason, Tom, Samantha, etc.
In such cases one needs to memorize the reading of the character, which reads that way only when it is used for Proper names. If the Kanji of a person have multiple reading such as 淳子, Atsuko, Kyoko and Junko, that person would use what is called Furigana, the Kana only reading showing the sound of that particular Kanji. This happens when you are filling a form, in a contract, in IDs etc.
In other words feeding people names to Google only shows only one thing. That person doesn't know what is doing.

Sadako is Proper name of a popular iconic character in Japanese culture that embodies a little girl killer ghost and it is based on a real Japanese person that was said to be a psychic and lived in the 1900s. They made at least one horror Japanese movie out of that story and even Hollywood had a go at it! Now, how many girls you think they have been named Sadako in Japan by their parents?
Once more Google translate doesn't give a damn if the person using it doesn't know what is doing.

In regular writing to mark Proper names a number of suffix are employed さま, どの, さん, くん, ちゃん and more. Every suffix has a different and unequivocal use case. It can be written in Hiragana, like I just did or by using Kanji. If the Kanji is adopted looks like 様 reads さま, 殿 reads どの etc. Also for such words there isn't a clear-cut translation, because they are employed as a result of the implications they come with. For instance 様 or さま is used when referring to customers or clients, but in a business letter you would use 殿 or どの with similar significance.

Most amusing is "淳子殿 translated to "Mr. Reiko". On Google Translate left windows in the left-bottom corner there is one of the possible correct reading of 淳子殿, namely Junko-dono. But on the right it's messing it right up. That's the demonstration that Google Translate has no brain.
By the way Reiko is written 麗子 as a Proper name... and so is Rika, Akirako, Yoshiko, Urarako . Get the point? You need Furigana.

About gyoza, that's the name of a very popular kind of Chinese dumpling made in Japan, and there is no Kanji for it its written in Katakana only as チャオズ. But since it's a Chinese word you can used the two sounds ぎょう and ざ in Hiragana to write the two corresponding Kanji 餃子. To understand why, you need to read my post down the page. It seems Google translate cannot read the first Kanji right.

If you feel so inclined, mopreme, read my post down below which covers your original blog post extensively and throughout.
if you drive down a straight road in a quiet town at constant speed and don't have to shift, I don't think the cognitive load is much bigger than driving around in GTA. After all, you are basically just scanning the environment in front of you for obstacles. It also seems to go both ways: when I returned to playing GTA after a few months, I was driving much more carefully in the game.
Because modern Western sexuality is only possible on the foundation that women have 1. equal legal rights (especially divorce), 2. have jobs and their own savings, and 3. have control over their bodies via contraceptives (and abortion). Plus 4. transportation and cities allows escape from the "everyone knows everyone" small village.

Federal Lawsuit over Harvard’s Failure to Caption Online Content Moves Forward
You know you reek of it yourself.

C++ and even C has tons of subtle edges that are impossible to keep track of. You need to be experienced to have a fighting chance, I'm not defending that. But it is a fact of life and in a large part of that are relics from the past.

You can't just take a concept that is somewhat unique to C++ and proclaim that it is bad just because C++ has a lot of warts. Your criticism doesn't even register on the weirdness scale in my opinion. It works as intended, is easy to reason about and solves practical problems. Object lifetimes is something I almost always miss when I don't use C++. A garbage collector is hell to work with in comparison.

What is unfortunate is that we don't really have any alternatives. Rust shows promise but we've had to suffer through decades to even get to this point, which also implies that we have decades left. And that assumes that rust continues in the pace it has and preferably also that we get more alternatives to chose from.
Electrocution is a complex issue, so it's not really true to say that it's the voltage, current, power or energy that kills you. A sufficiently large amount of energy will definitely kill you, but for everything else the answer is "it depends".
I don’t understand how returns work anymore. I bought something thinking I could return it if it didn’t fit but it turned out the cost to return it was more than the item itself.

Fixing Random, Part 21
A chat log is rich text with emojis, photos/videos and other binary data, memes, rich inline citations, block quotes, attachments, and endless new formatting practices and gimicks that are unknown yet as digital communication evolves. XML/SGML is made for this kind of application.

End users don't throw arrays and maps at each other on chat, so JSON's affinity to co-inductive datastructures of programming languages (actually just JavaScript) doesn't help all that much when you have to invent ad-hoc markup over arrays, maps, and primitive types, or ad-hoc hex string encodings of binary data. TBH flocking to JSON because JavaScript can represent it as an object literal is a pretty junior attitude and reflects poorly on the matrix effort. It's equivalent to using BASIC or notepad.exe because that's what's installed on a computer out of the box.
The reference page has some details [1]. Our goal is to match and exceed the experience of managing the migrations with a high-level ORM like Django. This is one of the reasons behind the SDL/DDL duality. EdgeDB has to grow some tooling around it before we get to that point, though.

Study for the developer cert and do some hands on work. Again, it’s not because I believe in the importance of “getting the certification”, it’s about the guided learning path.

I was able to get experience through my job, but if that isn’t an option for you, just build something. There are some really good, cheap, thorough Udemy course (no affiliation, not affilliate links):

This course goes over API Gateway, lambda, DynamoDB and a quick overview of how to create a NodeJS Serverless app:

https://www.udemy.com/share/1010qKBUQdeF5TQn4=/

That is the “right way” to create a Serverless API, but if you want to take a regular old Node/Express API and run through lambda you can use the lambda proxy integration:

https://github.com/awslabs/aws-serverless-express

There are similar frameworks for Python/Django and C#/WebAPI

And for the love of all that is holy, learn CloudFormation and don’t create resources manually.

Actual solution: Don't have 500 programmers.
Right, it is the current that is delivered through the body that is an issue. For example, if you have a 12 volt power source that has the potential to deliver 50 billion amps, it isn't going to deliver any more amps across your heart than a normal 12 volt battery. That is because your skin has resistance, and Ohm's law comes into play. Things change of course if it is hooked up to needles that is poked through you though, of course.
> This problem doesn't exist for JSON, because pretty much every language directly supports arrays, objects/maps and primitives

No, JSON will not map directly to a language with advanced type system (with tuples, variants, etc). Even in Elm it's recommended to write a decoder to convert incoming JSON into an internal structure. So in fact the mapping is very poor. And I see no difference in this regard: both XML and JSON is crap.
Forms are where web standards are most lacking. HTML5 took us from the stone age to the bronze age by adding some still-basically-useless inputs for e.g. colours and dates.

Everyone is reinventing the wheel over and over here and it's infuriating. I recently tried to find a good component to provide an internationalised currency input - it's incredibly difficult to find a quality implementation for this, yet it's something that the vast majority of web applications will need to use at least once. Same goes for phone numbers.

It would be nice to see web components take these roles away from frameworks. It would be nicer to see web standards identify the importance of many of these inputs in the first place.
If your nature of work is such that you need to be available then I get that your manager would berate you. It might not be what someone likes to do but for some it is better to be available to the team than to isolate themselves and work.
That would imply a SPOF. One component of any kind that can take down the whole thing. The only such “component” I can think of is a human, not a technical one.
Wow, I have never seen 6-Core Cortex-M microcontrollers like this.
I've found that a good way to lower the hassle on starting a zoom is to create a permanently open meeting with your phone number as the meeting ID. Then it is as simple as pasting/typing a link into an IM conversation and clicking it, and if you aren't at your own machine, it's easy to just type it. My only complaint with zoom is the lack of a prompt before launching video. I, and most of my coworkers, have uninstalled and taped over our webcams because of it.

You are incorrect. In the US, at-will employment situations can be terminated for no reason at all.

Source: I've terminated people, and a few times I never stated a reason (long story). Sometimes it is easier to just say "goodbye" without opening yourself up to claims of racism / sexism / etc. Most folks will masquerade this by saying the person just didn't fit the bill.
I very much like Zulip, it's open source and much closer to email, even culturally. It encourages long-form replies and messages with subjects, so it requires at least a tiny amount of thought before you start talking to someone. I think it's a great cross between Slack and email.
People generally value fairness and crediting people unfairly goes against that. If it appears to you that other members of the team might have contributed just as much or even more but weren't credited accordingly, then that goes against this "instinct", and why shouldn't it? You're missing the point, the question is whether she was unfairly credited or not.

Also, don't just turn it off... announce to the group "Hey guys, I'm going offline to do deep work for the next 3 hours. Only interrupt me if the building is on fire, OK?" or something like that. Set a status or "away message" that says "offline for focused deep work right now. Interrupt only for absolute emergencies." or something similar.

> It seems that the federal government is trying to prosecute Assange for obtaining classified information from a source

No, they are prosecuting him for conspiring with Manning to gain access to classified material to which Manning did not have lawful access.

Conspiracy to commit a crime involves two or more people agreeing to a common purpose, which purpose involves a crime, and at least one of those people taking at least one overt act to advance toward acheiving the criminal purpose. (Note they the overt act can be by any member of the conspiracy, and all of them.can be charged.)

You can, but your sarcasm seems to assume people are just simply converting dollars into bitcoin just to use this debit card. This feature may not be for you, but for those who trade or accept it as a payment for their goods/services. It essentially eliminates the process of selling the bitcoin and/or waiting a few days to transfer the funds to your bank.

That "annihilation" doesn't lead to non-existence, it does lead to transformation. You get energy rather than matter... Which would still lead to mass loss so long as that energy didn't end up back in the black hole. And very much not a physicist myself...

That's the thing, though. It's not "I thought I was in a video game, officer." (In fact that's often used as a strawman.)

It is more something highlighted by the psychology of popular "theories". There ino consistency in blaming autism on "refrigerator mothers", heavy metals, vaccines, and diet except for what they are not - environmental instead of genetic. It is reaching and in a frenzied, hysterical denial like Continuum Magazine ending after all involved died of AIDS complications.

That sort of behavior suggests that they already know the answer is more likely than not genetic but they refuse to accept it because they don't like the implications. There are many things which should have broken said links but haven't - otherwise they would have played out already.

In general I find mental arithmetic like this easiest if you start from the most significant digits. So you just need to keep track of a running sum and which multiplications you still need to add.

Here's the calculation as I would do it in my head, more or less:

25 * 63 = (20 + 5) * (60 * 3)

= (20 * 60) + (5 * 60) + (3 * 20) + (5 * 3)

= 1200 + (5 * 60) + (3 * 20) + (5 * 3)

= 1500 + (3 * 20) + (5 * 3)

= 1560 + (5 * 3)

= 1575

It's no accident that one can see a similar result in timing attacks and information leakage from computer systems (e.g. Spectre and prior art), because in both cases, statistical inferences are being made from observable state.

Though this is an accessible paper that explores communication networks in detail, I'd still like to see more of these analyses conducted from a more abstract, information-theory perspective, and for these results to be broadly applied in various concrete settings.

I wonder if these sorts of fundamental underpinnings don't interface nearly as much with the daily mainstream line-of-business work that much of IT has evolved towards as they do in some other fields of applied science and design.
