I think they're saying the Mexican ambassador hasn't been "paying attention", probably meaning they've been ignoring important issues. More like "wake up sheeple".
To illustrate further using the most extreme example I can think of - flying a loop:

The angle of attack will remain in its usual very narrow range at any point when you fly a loop. The critical or stalling angle of attack is typically around 15° - 20° for many airfoils (so your AoA should be less than that). Note that if you fly upside down (negative-G capable aerobatics airplane) you will still have a positive AoA, just on the other side of the wing.

> If the airplane you’re flying is equipped with an angle-of-attack indicator, it will illustrate an abstract concept that pilots learn to recite during ground school but rarely fully comprehend—which is that an airplane can stall in “any attitude” and at “any airspeed.” For me, it took stalling on the back side of a loop (while pointed straight down at a high power setting) for that idea to sink in.

so far i see nothing banning such statements [as below] from also being included in ones scientific publications.

>Peer-reviewed articles are the gold standard for sharing scientific information.
After a research team submits an article to a journal,
the editors ask other experts in the subject to review the work.
Those reviewers, often anonymous, check the study’s experimental designs, statistics and conclusions, and they can ask for revisions or reject the article if it is not scientifically sound.
A successful review and publication is the end product to professional research, It is now finalized.
There’s nothing preliminary about it.<
It might be relevant because good government agencies rely on formal processes and are suspicious of simple arguments like "well, there are signs that the citizen in trouble is skeptical of the very idea of national sovereignty, so why should the US, a sovereign nation, lift a finger to help him?" This goes under the general heading of "rule of law", as opposed to rule of the whims of individual officials.

In other words, US citizens travelling the world would prefer to know before they get into trouble overseas which behaviors their State Department considers so egregious as to disqualify them for the help that citizens can usually expect. Ergo, the State Department probably publishes a list of such behaviors or situations. I am asking you whether if it were your job to specify such a list, would having felony charges pending in a "US-based" (i.e., state or federal) court be on the list?

> Especially early on when you aren't necessarily confident that you are a "coder" yet.

When I was lacking experience, I actually really just wanted negative feedback. The absence of feedback, to me, was synonymous with "your work is correct." But no one would ever tell me what I was doing wrong. Even now, half a decade later, I have yet to get that negative feedback. I hope that means I'm just a good coder, but I always have this nagging feeling that it's because no one has actually reviewed my code before.
But if you had to refactor the above function, you wouldn't have to reverse-engineer some argument parsing. You'd know how it must be called anywhere in the project, just by looking.

And generally, I think the disincentive rationale is self-defeating:

* the premise behind disincentive is you're dealing with someone who is (at least in the moment) careless

* now they're going to have to write more code to do a thing they've set out to do

* but we've already selected for an individual who is writing carelessly

In this case, it can only work if extra argument checks are the last straw that causes this individual to say "enough" and refactor that function. For what my experience is worth, I think this is unlikely.
You can get the benefits of a faster processor without constantly maxing it out. A faster clocked processor will complete tasks faster. If you’re just browsing the internet, no difference, but if you do any type of compilation the extra cores and speed will make a significant difference.

In the case of node and client side development, the extra speed can shave seconds off hot code injection and compilation times on every code change (every time you save the file).
I've been going through the GDC 2019 presentations, and this one stuck out. It seems like this game, "Serious Sam 4" is a combination of procedural generation + quad-tree based hand-edits to the procedural generator.

The specs of the engine are quite impressive: each triangle is modeled to be ~1.5cm in size, yet they plan to cover 128km x 128km square region for the game ("Background is not a special case"). This was estimated in the talk to be 100TB of information if done traditionally.

Instead, they have a rough 32m x 32m tileset (only 200MB or so) that has been handcrafted. They have a procedural-generator for converting the "rough" tiles into detailed 1.5cm chunks, and allow another set of hand-crafted data (Quad-tree) at the 0.25m (25cm) size for areas of interest (towns and landmarks).

All in all, it seems like a nice combination of "procedural" and "hand-crafted".

The section on "vegetation", was my favorite read. Procedurally generated "impostor trees" (2d quads that look like a tree from a distance) + a procedural geometry shader to create literally every (nearby) blade of grass
People have problem with the question "Imagine you're trying to find the (maximum distance) of all the stars in the sky" because the maximum distance of all stars is ill defined and nonsensical. Maximum distance to what? To the center of universe? To the edge of the universe? To my house? Or the furthest distance between two stars of all the stars? Half of the solution is stating the correct question.
The idea is that it's a language for abstracting out common type relationships and calculations. I haven't yet seen a software-development context where those abstractions carry their weight, though.
"The specific test deployment was multitenant anyway-- you can't account or optimize for what tenants are going to index."

So in other words:

"If your specific use case is supporting 50,000 customers each having around 500 documents and only needing basic text search queries and relevance is not a major concern, RedisLabs Search might give you better performance than ElasticSearch!"

(This is assuming there isn't a different way to configure ElasticSearch to work for this scenario, that gives similar performance.)
I rather use rolling releases. This way the breakage is contained to 5-10 minute fixing sessions once in a few months, instead of a huge whole-day upgrading session every new release.
> The CPU isn't really fast enough to fine-scroll large sections of the screen.

That's fine; it is not how you'd do it on the C64. Nor was VSP very common.

> The there is a useful "rotate memory left/right" instruction which takes 7 cycles. An unrolled loop of these could shift about 2000 bytes of memory left/right per frame. A 160x200 2bit color bitmap mode screen takes up 8000 bytes, so at the very least you can shift ¼ of the screen.

Nobody used bitmaps to for scrollers on the C64 (or indeed for most games). A game screen using character mode takes at most 2000 byes if you need to scroll the entire screen, including color RAM, which you wouldn't be doing as you'd spend some space on other things, like score displays etc., and putting more static decorations was indeed a common way of cutting down on the amount actually scrolled. Another way was to do level designs so that you did not have to scroll everything every time. E.g. by keeping some lines using the same colour, or fill part of the screen with sprites instead of characters.

To scroll the first 7 pixels in any direction then only requires updating a single register to shift the screen. This applies for bitmaps too, so there really are no circumstances where you'd bit-shift bitmaps to scroll.

For the 8th pixel you need to copy, but you don't need to complete the copy in one frame; you just need to outpace the raster-beam. So the moment it has rendered the first full line of text, you can scroll it; as long as you take care to not speed past the rendering, then you can continue following past. If you do this you have nearly two full frames to complete the copy, for about 1000 byes per frame.
...and the face masks?
There are differences in terms of some IO pins. But yes, the changes are minimal.

Always get anmoyed to see the crappy stock background image being so distracting, while using most of the screen real estate.

Everyone else is correct in their sensation of shame, and should continue to maintain their façade of inauthenticity, under the pretense that, for them, no such atmosphere of stifling embarassment exists at all, since it is by definition, impossible for "normal" people to feel rejection by society, unless they are classed under some pretext of protected minority status.

This is interesting. I've been doing Krav Maga for some time and a few years ago did a week of it in Isreal, sampling all its aspects and applications - military, close protection, civilian, police /crowd control and... it's spiritual side. For a martial art so young I was surprised it even has a spiritual side. It's also become the aspect I find most fascinating. And yet the instructors accompanying us seemed embarrassed by it and the single instructor world wide teaching it from a kibbutz outside Haifa.

It certainly wasn't why I chose to practice Krav Maga.

>What's wrong with autonomy? What's wrong with facing hardship like our ancestors did?

When people rely on others to protect them their whole lives, they never learn how to protect themselves. So naturally the thought of autonomy and self defense triggers a feeling of paralyzing helplessness.

This would be hard to argue against if credit scores were accurate. They're not exactly pseudoscience, but they're still far from perfect.

When I was buying my house, I was building up and paying off ~$500 across 4 credit cards (one for Home Depot, one for Uber, etc.) I paid them down to $0 every month.

I'd consider that behavior to be financially smart. I got discounts of 5% on all those purchases because of the perks of the cards.

I was shocked by the score the bank had given me, since I do monitor my credit. They told me I had to stop using all those cards. I did, and my score went up 100 points instantly.

I think it's interesting to see mostly-static languages implement dynamic features too. For example, C# is mostly statically-typed. But a while back, they introduced the `dynamic` variable type, which makes that variable actually dynamically typed. Once a variable is dynamically typed, you can assign anything to it, call any function on it with any arguments and put its return into any statically-typed variable. It all gets type checked at runtime and blows up then if what you called doesn't actually match any functions on that object.

You could theoretically do all of that before anyways with clever use of reflection, but this makes the compiler create all of that extra code for you from what looks like normal code.
Category theory is like putting types around mathematics. Like how dimensional analysis in physics points the way toward what operation to perform, category theory helps to show what mathematics "makes sense". Another example: I've heard that Haskell's type system is so good that you can often find the function you need just by searching for the function signature (it's type). Category theory does that for mathematics.
Not to mention that Elasticsearch is excellent for non-text search.

One application I worked on indexes a Postgres database into Elasticsearch for live front-end queries. We index every single field, sometimes hundreds of fields in a single index. ES does this easily. Thanks to Lucene's quasi-columnar/quasi-LSM tree storage, new indexed fields aren't very expensive, and searches -- even fairly complicated ones -- are very fast.

ES is also extremely fast at aggregations. Even complex multi-level aggregations (e.g. group by date, then multiple nested buckets by different fields with "top k" results for each) take just a few hundred milliseconds for latge million-document datasets.

Where ES has problems are areas like replication, consistency and memory usage. It's very hard to tune ES; due to JVM GC and caches, it's basically impossible to predict how much RAM ES will need, and OOMs are common. There's also still no way to ask for a consistent index on query; the best you can do is use "waitfor=refresh" on indexing, which is the wrong time for it. I'd love a consistent Raft-based ES.

I've come to terms with the fact that nothing is going to stop anthropogenic climate change and we'll just have to adapt to it. It's not a technical problem but a political game-theoretic problem.

Major CO2 cuts would require a global all-cooperate (in a game theory sense) scenario and that's unlikely given that the payoff is very high for defecting. This is because global cuts in fossil fuel use would make fossil fuels incredibly cheap, increasing the economic advantage for nations that use them. This is going to be hugely appealing to developing nations with large populations. We already see this with China and India and pretty soon you're going to see it in Africa.

The only way I can see CO2 emission growth halting or reversing is a huge breakthrough in energy generation that results in something dramatically cheaper and easier to deploy and scale than fossil fuel. It would take Mr. Fusion (Back to the Future reference), solar and batteries that are just absolutely dirt cheap, or something equivalently awesome. I don't see anything like this arriving before CO2 hits 800-1000ppm.

We are pretty adaptable. A bio professor of mine was fond of saying that humans are like cockroaches and that this was a compliment coming from a biologist. We should be preparing to move Miami.
> If i shut down the computer with a simulation, or start a simulation to see how people behave during genocide, i do not do any harm to anyone that exists or could exist independently from me, so it is ok.

And how does that work with children? It definitely follows some of the older thinking on the subject, but not any "modern" thinking on it. If I and my wife decide we don't want kids any more, are we free to end our children? I could claim that they can't exist indepdently of me (at least up to a certain age). It's also possible that an AI in a simulation might be able to provide enough benefit to someone to receive income, and enough to pay for its own resources. I think "could exist independent of me" is fairly ambiguous in this context.

Ultimately, this is all philosophical, and I don't think there's really a right or wrong answer, just people - walking talking examples of emergent phenomena - trying to find meaning. I actually don't think it's possible for a person for be completely consistent in behavior because of this, and at best we can hope to at least be consistent in how we perceive our actions. Thus, it doesn't surprise me that I find some of your views inconsistent, and that you likely find the same of me. We ultimately have different perceptions of what's being explained, and thus what seems entirely logical and consistent to one of us seems askew to the other. Exploring those views does have merit though, as it allows for a more comprehensive view of the subject.

I do think that was a huge over-reaction, particularly in retrospect, but you can't chalk it up entirely to hysteria considering it happened in the aftermath of the Niihau incident.
Exactly:

"What really governs the warming potential is how long the extra CO2 remains in the atmosphere. CO2 is essentially chemically inert in the atmosphere and is only removed by biological uptake and by dissolving into the ocean. Biological uptake (with the exception of fossil fuel formation) is carbon neutral: Every tree that grows will eventually die and decompose, thereby releasing CO2."

I'm not familiar with the particulars of the Google situation, but in any case you're right. A proper share does not require the holder be entitled to vote. What matters is that the share is the property of its owner. It's not merely a contract, like an option to purchase shares in the future, or employment, or an agreement to be paid royalties or profit. A share is property that is owned in perpetuity or until the corporation is dissolved. It can be bought and sold as though it is just another thing.

If Huawei wants to redefine that then we have to evaluate what a corporation is and what is even means to be an "owner" of such a thing.
Do you base that on how much they're paid or just because it's an obvious way for a sketchy contract based employer to stack more responsibility on the contractors while failing to compensate them?
> Well the owner should have thought about that before they decided to plan on commuting with it.

No.

If I spend thousands of dollars on something it had better be built to last. It's not an Italian motorcycle. It's supposed to be a high quality tool. I pay those prices because I am serious about what I do and need the best tools to get me there. That was what Apple used to bring to the table and was why I would pay those prices. I have a 2013 MBP that I paid an arm and a leg for at the time it came out. Its still a great machine and I have no complaints. I plan to hang onto it for as long as I can.

Contrast that with my wife. She has the latest gen mbp and her keyboard stopped working today. Keep in mind that this is the one that apple sent us as a replacement for the first one she bought which also had keyboard problems. We had to bring in 4 times to the genius bar and leave for weeks at a time before finally putting our foot down. These machines are lemons.

I don't spend money on this stuff for status or bragging rights. I have shit to do and I will spend what I have to spend to not have my tools hinder me. I don't trust apple to deliver that anymore which sucks because I have invested a lot in their ecosystem.

PS. my wife is selling that POS computer and buying an X1 Carbon. I will be too when the time comes. Apple has squandered a decade of goodwill with this shit and I am now actively working at getting out of their ecosystem.

But, how local should we get with descriptors? If the issue is about corporate espionage, then the culprit's nationality might be very relevant.
