The rhythm annotations aren't part of standard tab (I didn't intend to suggest that as a standard tab). My point of sharing that image was to show what the position of the numbers in the tabs implies.

It's true there's a very diverse range of tabs, but as far as a canonical version goes, they have bar lines and numbers are positioned in time.
US should have recovered from Henry Kissinger's fu*k up much earlier & aligned with India.

US saw Pakistan as an ally to fight 'communists' in Afghanistan & benefitted from India-Pakistan stand offs to keep Pakistan under pay check.

Guess who else benefitted? China.
China gained more from India-Pakistan enemity, while they were facing off; China gained foothold in Srilanka (by aiding them in their genocide of Tamils), built military base in Myanmar.

Current Indian PM is an imbecille bigot, his vote bank politics involves destroying Pakistan & Muslims; exactly what China wants & has gain strategic superiority while India focuses on Pakistan.

US had a chance of making India, a democratic country with similar values a regional super power; it chose not to. Now let the world prepare for 1984.
Yeah you're right the protection racket is not a glamorous job but someone's gotta do it.
Thanks for sharing your story. What screening methods would you recommend for identifying those great companies / micro-societies?
The tech community fighting MS back in the day was much different from this current breed of millenials (my generation). Millenials are the most authoritarian generation we've seen in decades - for them, truth is not found by reason, but delivered by authority.
I'm surprised that it sends an negative signal. Is there a reasoning for it? Does completing an online course signify unwanted behavior/personality? I feel like if you leave it off your resume, you probably wouldn't be able to land the interview to begin with.

Basically just rugby with some nets and goalies.
Slack is just ICQ with a slick interface. Dropbox is just rsync with a slick interface. Sometimes a slick interface is the most important feature of a product.
That's interesting. Is there a specific reason for why you view nanodegrees negatively?
no it doesn't. it's 15-year-olds self-reporting on how familiar they are with mathematical topics, some of which are made up.

It's not totally unsolvable, it's just very hard.

Most catastrophic failures were on flights that were 99.99% ordinary. It's that last 0.01% where everything went horribly wrong.

We're barely able to make a self-driving vacuum cleaner that doesn't periodically malfunction in a catastrophic way (https://www.scarymommy.com/roomba-meets-pile-of-poop-jesse-n...), and self-driving cars at least have the option of stopping when too confused to proceed.

Planes are committed from the moment they take off to somehow get back on the ground safely. The clock is running. When a mechanical malfunction occurs that remaining time can get cut dramatically, from hours to minutes, in an instant.

It's an enormously complex job to fly a plane even with two human-level intelligences on board. If we have human-level AI it will be easy, but until then it'll be a reach.

Drones are a little simpler, but they also have a more complex environment to navigate. Large commercial jets don't need to avoid trees or being attacked by birds. They don't have to worry about falling out of the sky because they clipped a power line they couldn't see. If anything they're easier to fly than a drone if you're concerned about safety.

First let's see an autonomous drone work well in a closed environment like a factory or doing drone racing. Then we'll know how hard it is to get out of that safe space.
> It makes some kinds of code nicer, but doesn't significantly affect the expressiveness or capability of the language.

Sum types and exhaustive pattern matching aren't about expressiveness, they're tools for aiding code comprehension by increasing the locality of code that has no business being distributed into completely different classes, and decreasing the cost of making changes by heavily reducing the amount of test code that needs to be written to make sure a closed set of options is handled appropiately; in OOP languages you can get this by using interfaces but to make use of it you'd have to use huge classes with methods pertaining to every usage of this closed set.

I would never willingly pick up another language that doesn't provide me with them after experiencing the productivity gains. I really like the direction Dart is moving towards and the steps taken demonstrate there's a team behind it that cares about correctness and productivity over being just a familiar Java-like, but this is the one hard blocker for me.
Well that promo video was utterly uninformative.
How do you play; is it fun?
Here's my counter theory of "bullshitters" that I imagine will be very unpopular on this forum. (Can you disagree without down voting?) Programmers (Engineers who really spend most their day programming) do intellectually difficult, solitary work. The quality of their work is often difficult to measure because its often easier to write your own code than really spend a lot of time figuring out someone else's code. So if you write code that works, you are hero. You are effective at doing something hard.

But because of this, many programmers I have worked with who admittedly are really smart, think they are head and shoulders above their peers, particularly those who aren't writing code. Being your own judge of the quality of your work distorts your perspective.

People who spend a lot of time programming are sometimes not outgoing or people who prefer interpersonal interactions over technical problems. If they are, they often become managers. If they are managers long enough they inevitably lose touch with the nuts and bolts of what the technical team is doing. They talk about things without understanding them nearly as well as the people on the front line of implementation. In the eyes of the people doing the technical work they can be seen as "bullshiters" who are less capable and less effective than the engineers.
>If it was a bad thing, UNIX wouldn't be so widespread.

Strange argument. Javascript is widespread, COBOL was widespread, Windows is widespread, X86 is widespread. Widespread doesn't mean good. UNIX was a disaster, and the whole family of UNIX-like OS spent decades just for mitigate its errors and faults.
I use https://github.com/dan-v/algo fork which has Wireguard VPN and PiHole combined. It takes minutes to spin up a Digital Ocean VPN and have it working on all my devices. I'm very happy with this setup.
> The brain can compute.

You'll see in my comment and your quote that I don't say the brain can't compute. I agree, the brain can compute. But that doesn't mean it is a computer, because computing is an ability. People can do many other things aside from computing, none of which rely on computation, for instance they can imagine, which is the ability to think new thoughts. Computers can't imagine because all they do is compute: that's their programming. No amount of programming can produce imagination. Computation and imagination are categorically distinct as different intellectual powers and abilities.

You are conflating an ability with ontology. We know what a brain is. It's a collection of fatty material with neurons that do not explicitly fire exactly like a computer. Key word there is like. Church-Turing built a model of computational logic off of intuitions about the brain and formal mathematical logic. That's it's not provable doesn't prove your point; it removes any distinction between it being right or wrong: because it is a model (lets make something like the brain).

That an industry was built on computation doesn't prove anything. We know computation is an ability. For instance it's also something we can do with abacuses. We could have built an enormous industry on building elaborate abacuses. We built computers do be extremely fast at computation. We didn't build computers to be brains.

You'll notice, if you read the review, that the author of the review repeatedly cites cognitive neuroscientists, even evangelists of the singularity, philosophers, psychologists, and zoologists, who have published at length on this topic and repeatedly critcise and disrupt the simple idea that the brain is a computer or an algorithm or even a machine. An entire branch of philosophy developed off of Ludwig Wittgenstein to counter the computational model of consciousness. Numerous books in the Philosophy of Mind argue that the assumption that the brain is a computer is not just unsupported, it is logically nonsensical.
> You are conflating untraceable and private. You keep saying two things are different without explaining why you think they are fundamentally different.

The differences are obvious. Encryption isn't the same as microphone placement or privacy expectations in a home or vehicle. The article had nothing to do with microphones, homes, or vehicles. It was about data centers and encryption.

> What do you think about the fact that the US literally has a right to privacy in their constitution?

Again, the discussion is about encryption standards, not constitutional privacy. As I recall, constitutional privacy in terms of the internet, etc, have been explored by policy makers in detail.

> Finally, let's see if you are consistent in your beliefs. Upload an archive of all your emails and chat logs to a public server so that anyone can read them, since having your communication intercepted does not seem to bother you.

Your proposed litmus test has nothing to do with my implied or stated beliefs, at all. Frankly, that you're even proposing such a thing is concerning to me.
I bet it wasn't a total waste. The real point of school, particularly university, is to learn how to learn rather than learn a bunch of facts or tools. Attending university probably made it a lot easier for you to switch professions twice.

I really, really want to see a live band or orchestra play a set of AI-composed pieces, none of which were filtered or manipulated by humans. Just generate MIDI, spit out sheet music (hopefully written well enough that it can be sight-read), and hope for the best. I'd buy a ticket for that, without a doubt!
webview kind of satisfies 1 + 2.1 + 3.1 today.

Same idea as Electron but it wraps the OS webview instead of Chromium (Cocoa/Webkit, gtk-webkit2, MSHTML, and soon EdgeHTML). The minimal test app is 255kb in size, the static lib is just 48kb (MacOS).

https://github.com/zserge/webview

And I get, "but Safari/IE/whatever are still different platforms!" I'd argue that the edge cases between browser rendering of HTML + CSS + JS is much better to deal with than the architectural and language differences between the native GUI APIs on each platform. As long as you're not pulling in an obscene amount of JS dependencies, webview is very sane.
Netflix also compensates the ever-loving fuck out of you up until that moment.

It's just some hacky JS right now, but I'd like to improve it in the future – suggestions about functionality and code quality are very welcome.
I'd say quite possibly so...if he also followed that up with "...but I could find out." (or something similar).

Saying "I don't know" is one thing - it's good to admit one's lack of knowledge.

Being able to then follow it up with the will to expand their knowledge - that is valuable IMHO.
That's an interesting observation, but not true!

As far as stories like this go, we do penalize minor release announcements across the board (unless there's something there that gratifies intellectual curiosity), but that's done manually.
A roll of duct-tape fixing the steering wheel and the accelerator pedal would be the rough equivalent of an auto pilot for cars if you want to take that analogy as far as it will go. So clearly 'auto pilot' was marketing speak rather than a literal description of what the device is supposed to do leaving a lot of room for interpretation. This has already led to a number of fatalities and may lead to a bunch more of them, and all that because naming it 'driver assist' would lose a couple of sales, but would accurately describe what's in the tin.

“We only hire the best, and 10% of you are losers”. I never managed to square that circle
Cool stuff, Christine!
One in ten per year sounds about right for these sorts of jobs. I bet if you drilled down you'd find that approximately that same 10% of people is getting fired from every other jobs too. There's always a minority that is screwing up fairly often. Combine that with rigid bigCo policies on timeliness, performance, etc and you can see how 10% per year get fired.
Yes, any system languages that doesn't need to depend on the existence of C.

If you are going to mention Assembly as possibility, check ClearPath where there is no Assembly, NEWP has full control over the hardware stack.
The answer is "No."

Peguy is not the most revolutionary philosopher since Plato.

Evidence: "It is for this reason that his stylistic response to Bergson exceeds that of the modernists: he is not interested, as with Marcel Proust or Virginia Woolf, in merely reporting the supposed “givens” of subjective consciousness and memory (which is in effect to reduce Bergsonism to phenomenology), nor in expressing pure symbolic replicas of duration that are then paradoxically timeless, as in the case of sheerly abstract art."
The tesla batteries don't degrade very much, mine has less than 5 miles after 45k miles, but its hard to say exactly what max charge is, it varies a bit. There are even people with multi-100k miles driven so there's lots of info out there. Compare tesla to the bad experiences with leafs. I want porsche to succeed! We need electric cars to succeed.

There are a few high power chargers around. But there's no porsche ev yet. The e-tron came out with a thud, inadequate range. If they are really using the same technology base as the e-tron they are going to disappoint people, especially if people drive aggressively they won't get even 200 miles.

I was salaried and shared a weekly 24/7 on-call rotation with three other engineers. We had higher salaries than engineers that were not on-call (though I don't have specific numbers) and we were given the day off when the on-call shift was over. It was a pretty small company.
I do agree that the CloudWatch console search is like this, where you need to type out the entire string from the beginning to get it to match. But for the CloudFormation and Lambda consoles, I can just type a piece of the string I'm trying to find and all matching will just show up.

While not a conclusion, the reports of objects that defy the known laws of physics are extensive by this point.

If the incidents are not the result of "alien activity" perhaps the US Military does have supremely advanced technology under wraps and is demonstrating this technology to ambiguously create the idea that it could be "aliens".
Why are maps so comfy as an object in itself?
Yep, the pattern I have seen is that the pathological lies are there to divert attention from their core agenda. It's a diversionary tactic so the more blatant and convoluted the story the better it serves to distract from the actual truth, which for whatever reason they are trying to hide.
> Well, for everybody that's not related to LŽVS.

That is not true: there are people in BoL who do not share your view at all. How do you think the internal VILBOR report came about and resurfaced initially (BoL was later forced to publish it)? Unfortunately, we will have to be patient until the names and views of the people become public, if it comes to that. I hope it does, but there is also backlash and retribution for them awaiting from within BoL. I know this all sounds speculative, so the only thing I can ask is some patience.

> You forgot to share the things why do you think that's incorrect.

I can expand, but I do not think this is the place to do so. I also do not think I am capable of currently convincing you otherwise; I hope in time we shall see. I'll consider adding more details later. But my purpose in replying to you was to merely communicate that there is no definite consensus at all.

This seems incredibly applicable to musical scores in movies. I can imagine a product where the editor/director/someone inputs a handful of variables (mood, genre, instruments, etc) and timing requests (crescendo beginning at 30s and ending at 75s, calm period from 90s - 120s, etc) and out comes a musical score for the movie that matches up with their scene editing.
Unfortunately that is indeed very possible but unless things change at some point more people are going to join, or at least, I hope for them.
I do agree with you about the majority unwilling/unable to invest sufficient effort into their physical wellbeing.

But I strongly believe there is a small minority of people who are making consistent choices that positively impact longevity.

Anecdotally, I’m seeing it with my cohort of friends and family here in NZ as well as when visiting the US.

At the age of 50, I’m already seeing clear indicators of the bifurcation between those who are taking active steps to enhance their longevity compared to those who are not.

My personal opinion is that we will see single digit percentage of people who consistently take drive steps to enhance their health and well-being to enhance longevity,

The most common reason I’ve heard is that devs want to be able to use cutting edge features and the update cycle for OS bundled browsers is too slow to accommodate that.

I find this argument a bit silly, because there are few applications that actually need said cutting edge features and even if you’re one of the handful there’s always polyfills, but maybe I’m missing something.
Rust is a major development in the world of systems programming and as such it definitely deserves its share of attention. But point releases are best kept to the in-crowd and major releases are the moment to make large public announcements.

>How do I properly filter applicants for low-skill jobs?

You hire anyone with a pulse and fire anyone who's performance is not satisfactory. If you're Amazon's size you implement some sort of system using mostly objective metrics (e.g. a no-show counts as X points but a no call no show counts as Y points and you get fired at Z points) so you can quantify performance then you figure out your churn rate and size your pipeline to compensate.
My experience is similar, at many various low skilled jobs I've held.

It's too bad they didn't say what the median time on the job was before getting fired. That would shed some light. The unemployable type get fired relatively quickly.
