Do most college football players get brain damage?

I've met a decent amount of former college football players and none had (obvious) signs of brain damage.

I don't think that most smokers die of lung cancer either.

"Based on all possible outcomes of pending changes, SubmitQueue constructs, and continuously updates a speculation graph that uses a probabilistic model, powered by logistic regression. The speculation graph allows SubmitQueue to select builds that are most likely to succeed, and speculatively execute them in parallel"

This is either brilliant or just something built for a promotion packet
Agreed on that. Although in Canada the OSM data seemed really, really good when it came to national parks and trails. Not so much inside Vancouver. (Still enough for navigation by car and on foot, but finding addresses was a major PITA.)
Manufacturers are actively prohibited from this activity by US antitrust law. The “United” in “United Airlines” was a reference to the joining of Boeing and Pratt&Whitney.

Phone batteries are replaceable. Just not directly by end-users (well, not most end-users).

There are design tradeoffs to make the batteries user-replaceable. E.g., the batteries are going to need a casing and socket that make them OK for users to handle and replace.
The phone's going to need additional casing pieces, latches, and seals, etc. The phone's going to be a little bigger, heavier and more expensive. Maybe not a great tradeoff for something needed once every 2-3 years.

I just looked up and Apple is charging $50-$70 to replace your battery, depending on the model. So ~$25-$45 more expensive than a cheap DIY kit from amazon. Considering the various risks of DIY, that's really not that bad to do once every 2-3 years, IMO.
Slowly, I am noticing that people are starting to question the abilities of machine learning systems and, in particular, seeing a lot of the transparent AI-washing that is now going on for systems that aren't AI at all. This is one of the most positive changes in the tech industry, honestly.

Never gonna happen. Or more realistically, not going to happen in large enough numbers to consider as a possible scenario.
The problem also occurs if your CI Build + Test steps take a while to run, even on a small team pushing dozens of commits per day.

Two code-conflict-free changes may pass a pre-merge build+test cycle independently but may logically break one another if both changes are merged into master. Using a submit/merge queue guarantees that each change has passed tests with the exact ordering of commits it would be merged onto.
The example described here is a better explanation: https://github.com/bors-ng/bors-ng#but-dont-githubs-protecte...
I'd rather see this so called "toxic positivity" than people patting each other on the back and reinforcing their depression and mental health issues as though it were an identity or something to form a community around.

It sounds harsh, but there are so many counter productive behaviors people engage in while meaning well with regard to mental health issues on social media. One I see often is that people are effectively embracing catastrophizing as some sort of rebellious act of defiant need for other people to acknowledge their distorted view of reality.

Don't get me wrong either. I'm not looking at this from an outsider perspective. I've been there. I've been dealing with on and off depression and anxiety for the past several years. I've managed to claw myself out of it, but am able to accept that how I acted while there was not healthy for me. I have to take full responsibility for my behaviors and the bridges I've burnt.

All that being said, this article reads like someone waist deep in the throes of "Acknowledge my depressed reality!"
I had this thought too, but hey, however the message gets out I'm glad it does. If we spit in the faces of those people, they'll just put up walls and go back to the old ways. I prefer, "welcome friend, today is a new day"
Yeah I think this issue would not have cropped up with the early segmented stack implementation, but segmented stacks had their own issues (which is why the Go team migrated away from them)
Jin Hao 159 and X450 seems good choice.
This article seems more related to social media, but my experience with toxic positivity at some former workplaces took the form of "Our startup is the best! We're so much better than all our competitors. Everything they do is wrong, and we do everything better!", which is a fine attitude to have in general, until its objectively not true, and I'm afraid to even say anything for fear of being a "hater".

A "Salesperson" attitude is great when talking to the public or customers, but when your employees hear one thing from you and see the opposite happening, it doesn't exactly lend you credibility.

Fortunately, where I work now the leadership is much more objectively-minded. It probably helps we're building enterprise products and not pushing social-media hype.

The screenshots really made me pine for the days of using Ubuntu as my daily driver circa ~2010, right before the (IMO detrimental and pointless) switch to Unity instead of Gnome 3.

Giving Unity up and switching back to Gnome was such a step in the right direction. Look how big that feature list is because they can lean on Gnome's development! This represents open source at its best.
Granted, it would have been powerful if the author had called out (or was allowed to call out) Glamour's hypocrisy on this matter, but I think the fact that they're talking about the topic at all is a step in the right direction.

I have done no such thing. I have only closed discussion based on a fallacious premise. If you drop the fallacious premise there is plenty to discuss.

> We certainly don't know spacetime as photons "know" it, since its not "well defined."

I did not say spacetime is not well-defined. Spacetime is not "as photons know it" or as any observer "knows" it. Spacetime is the underlying geometric entity; it requires no "point of view" to exist, or even to be described; you can describe spacetime without ever using inertial frames, which are what your "points of view" actually are.

> you use the term worldline to describe the totality of the temporal-spatial existence of a photon

That's because "worldline" is the standard physics term for it, as used in physics textbooks and peer-reviewed papers.

If you want to discuss physics, it helps a lot to use the standard language of physics.

> I'm interested in this subject but not interested enough (or rather, have the time and energy) to become a physicist to understand

You don't have to become a physicist. But you do have to be willing to drop fallacious premises.

They only do long-term-support (LTS) releases every two years, and those are always in April, so you're reading references to the most recent LTS release, 18.04.

I've seen machines where average seek times go over 1 second because Windows won't leave the damn disk alone after a few updates.

"Facebook does not help you in getting any success at all."

Young people often define 'success' basically in terms of popularity and social acceptance.

And FB/Instagram is the basis for that now, in many ways.

I think there's always been considerable pressure upon young people to 'get along' & 'have friends' i.e. in a time before they 'know who they are' - this is a serious issue for kids I think.

And even into one's 20's these days, it seems everyone is 'building their personal brand' and some may find it hard to simply opt out.

I'm glad I hit 30 by the time this inanity started, I think it's an age wherein we start to take control of our identities.

It depends on your threat model. There are certain types of information that would be of interest to the Chinese government, and you would, indeed, be unwise to use any services that are under the purview of the Chinese government to store or transmit such information.

Whether such services would be perverted by the Chinese government is a whole other discussion of course.

However, I don't think anyone but the most rabid sinophobe would accuse the Chinese government of wanting to abduct our children.

I tried to build a timeline, but couldn't. I've switch back and forth too much. At various times, pretty much every browser was ahead in some respect and worth my interest. After a while, some other implementation would pull ahead and I'd switch.

The problem with this is that it's hard to say when the brain injury occurred, since its effects manifest down the road. So we should probably require high schools and Pop Warner leagues to carry lifelong insurance for players.

As I'm being down voted without any discussion I'll remove why none of the existing competition did or could've done what Google Maps did and keep the insights I had at the time as a GEO developer to myself. Fly-by downvoters can continue believing the revisionist history they wish to.

Feel free to believe Google Maps had competition (they didn't), nothing else at the time provided the same instant utility of Google Maps which basically ushered in the new category of "real-time search-based Consumer Maps" of which there are plenty now.

Anything that existed previously would've needed a rewrite to achieve the same instant utility of Google Maps. Nothing without it could've become mainstream. The competition like ESRI still doesn't have it, but they're still focused on Internal/Enterprise Usage, they let you build GEO Maps but they don't let you build consumer maps that compete with Google Maps.
Other companies often just wait for tests to finish, while at the time of running tests proposed changes (branch/PR) might be not based on current version of master. Then they just rebase/merge after tests pass, without running tests again. For smaller projects, this rarely breaks. For monorepo with lots of committers rate of breakage becomes too large.

Next step is to serialize all proposed changes, so they are rebased one on top of other before running tests. This eliminates breakage due to merging, but does not scale:

> The simplest solution to keep the mainline green is to enqueue every change that gets submitted to the system. A change at the head of the queue gets committed into the mainline if its build steps succeed.
>
> This approach does not scale as the number of changes grows. For instance, with a thousand changes per day, where each change takes 30 minutes to pass all build steps, the turnaround time of the last enqueued change will be over 20 days.

This paper is about scaling a variant of such queue.
Often it’s essentially an on-paper degree in soft majors specifically designed to cater to athlete schedules and ensure minimal attendance or effort is needed to pass and stay eligible for sports.

For the majority of D-1 student athletes, unless they go pro (a tiny percentage) or otherwise convert their college fame into a career, the degree does not open any doors. There are exceptions, but it’s rare.

Even athletes who do make it pro are often fucked over by the teams they play for, agents, financial advisors, etc., and a lot of them still end up poor, especially if they are more of a roster player who only manage to stay in the league for a few seasons.

For example, I’d guess a lot of people reading this article earn more than median salary for Major League Soccer. In 2016 the median was around $117,000 per year, with around 40 players (on senior rosters) earning the league minimum of about $55,000 [1].

Professional sports leagues are pretty brutal places for all but the biggest stars and of course managers and executives (unsurprisingly disproportionately white men as well...).

Is it really "Boeing" anymore or more MD?

One hypothesis around the 787 problems I heard was that post-acquisition, all the MD people ended up in important positions (reverse take-over a la Apple and NeXT)

So when the Dreamliner program came a long it was developed under MD's more business-y thinking (outsource risk) instead of Boeing's engineering thinking (learn in-house). Then they had to put together a ten thousand piece jigsaw from hundreds of suppliers with varying tolerances.

This article is rather confused about the Google Maps service for users and for developers/webmasters.

Yeah, but a map identifying a bar that has a large number of single people helps. Especially when it comes with pictures you can use to identify those people and possibly other personal information. Say tracking a specific individual over places they check in over a period of time, stuff like this.

Advanced JSX-Like Templating for Rust
There are a handful of products for pets at least. I'm personally familiar with Whistle. It's collar-mounted, works fairly well for a large dog in a rural area despite spotty cell coverage (which the software doesn't handle terribly gracefully). Amusingly, the monthly subscription is only a third the price of the product in the OP.

For livestock to be a viable market, the monthly subscription would have to go down substantially. In the US, your large market segments are poultry, pork, and cattle. Chickens just aren't worth enough. Hogs are $75-150 live (with thin profit margins) and are a pain to catch, though I'm not familiar with escape rates in commercial operations. Cattle are worth 10x that and do escape occasionally, but they're not terribly difficult to find nor catch.

Perhaps there's a market for tracking hogs for small farms and cattle for commercial grazing operations, but I'd be surprised if tech could do much to disrupt the existing low-cost solution: ear tagging and a phone call when your neighbors/police find a cow on the road.
On a personal note, I find occasional honest negativity to be endearing, refreshing, and stress-relieving. Back when I had the good fortune to visit Ireland, I went to comedy clubs to get a feel for local culture.

It's easy to overdo it, though. Negative people are draining.
