> If you're poor though, losing that stuff

Poor? If you are flying on an airplane you aren't rich but you also probably aren't so poor that your worldly possessions lost are worth another person's life.

> Would you be okay with those people staying on board until everyone else has gone and then grabbing their stuff?

Makes no practical sense. For one thing you have people that are on inside seats and 2nd the idea is it's an emergency and everyone has to get out.

> I would probably be willing to be the last to leave if it meant I could take my stuff.

So you think you are in a position to evaluate the risk from some unknown in most if not all situations sitting on the inside of the airplane? And what about the risk to first responders? You think they should have to risk their life because you or someone needs to get out their personal belongings? Even if you have medication that can be replaced and if it's so critical carry it in a fanny pack.
Is a mid-range phone today worse than a high end phone 5 years ago? Because the hardware at the high end 5 years ago could handle it decently iirc. Though it really depended on your internet connection, latency and other issues much more than the hardware on the device really.

For the most part, given the margins at the high end, it's not significantly better.
Interestingly enough, if there were such a thing, then objectively good literature would be the first thing taken over by AI. It would be that very ability to be objective that would make it definable in a way that could be machine produced. Of course, this flies in the very face of thing because something very different is afoot here, as the names demonstrate. And a comparison and a question arises: name who wrote Little Red Riding Hood. Which, of course, is an inanswerable question. One can name many famous author who have written versions, but past that one quickly becomes lost in the diffusion of oral tradition. So, here, what arises of importance is the contents, the flow and interplay, the fluxuations of intersecting generalities and particulars attached to nothing. Yet with the names one speaks not of 'Titus Andronicus' or 'The Penal Colony', one speaks of Kafka and Shakespeare. The question is has one read name, is not name truth. And it is the name that is the primary. The question is why can truth not seem to arise from anonymity? Why can it not arise from plurality? Why can it not arise from diffusion? Because those are the very opposite of the name. So are they truth then or are they sigil? If not, where are the anonymous truths?

This isn't a soul-crushing job babysitting (only outdone in horror by being in a chicken suit waving a sign for a fried chicken restaurant). This is an opportunity for you to study various psyches and all the gory "this is how sausage is made! details. Also exposure to abnormal psyches.

The Chinese word for disaster is opportunity.
This right here. "Everyone can learn to do x" is a thing but when applied to coding the marketing is strong (compared to say mathematics or writing or dancing or construction).

Yes, everyone can do it. No, not everyone can do it.

These statements are funnily enough not mutually exclusive, they just apply different meanings to the words "can" (potential vs actual aptitude) and "do" (future vs presence).
The main idea is law and punishment not just reminders. And the punishment
needs to be done in a way that people take notice not slap on the wrist (because in some cases that can and would backfire). If it's important (and it is) it's important to insure a big enough punishment (at the discretion of a judge) to make people completely not even think of doing it.
Regardless of level, you have to charge 2.5-3x to make up for the additional taxes you're paying, the benefits (health insurance, etc) you now have to pay full price for, and the inevitable gaps between contracts where you won't be making any money. Whether that bill rate is attainable varies depending on your skills, market, etc., but if you can't get that rate, then you're probably financially better off at the hypothetical fulltime job.

>To be productive writing a small feature in a React app it could be had under a week out from bootcamp with modest support sharing whatever tribal knowledge and documentation for onboarding.

That's not my experience at all. I've on-boarded many bootcamp graduates and I've never seen one that was doing anything that I would call "productive" a week out of bootcamp.

I could see that maybe if they had a good bit of experience before bootcamp.

>Let me be clear, then. The United States is committing a genocide against minorities as we speak and it is enabled and emboldened by "trolls". This is not touchy-feely.

The United States has committed some soft of genocide or another since the days of the Native Americans. That's not touchy feely.

Crying about this or that opinion being published, or whether a coworker can make or not make a comment, or what group is the more victimized for BS offenses (where usually the crying is made white middle/upper middle class self-appointed spokepersons) is.

And I'm not talking about the "children in cages" either. This is obviously not a kind of "touchy feely" issue.

Plus, the "children in cages" has been going on since forever one way or another. My people were hunted by the KKK back in the 20s and 30s for not being white enough. I've written (in other places) about the Mexican immigrants fueling the California agricultural sector, and how they're exploited and sent away when bosses are done with them (eg. the strawberry picking business).

Even the Wall is nothing new, there has been a wall, beatings, and killings at the border well before Trump. Now it's just fashionable to speak against it (because Trump), whereas under Obama 2 million could be deported and it was OK (and it didn't involve as many children imprisoned, so late night talk shows didn't feel the need to cover it).

Still, I'm not an American myself. But the hypocrisy is strong, as if all those "good souls" care about the "children in cages".

There are "children in cages" all over Europe, in camps for immigrants (where they're not allowed to leave):

>Your ..... dismissal of the problems of youth....and use of .... to not finish...sentences makes it difficult to understand your point.

You could replace "..." with "." in my comment, and nothing would change of its point. Instead you've chose to point an inconsequential stylistic issue, and exaggerate it to death.

Let's make my point even clearer: aside from general economic prospects (college debt and so on), there are no serious "problems of youth" in 2019 in the USA in the white middle/upper middle-class population that cries about being "traumatized" the most. It literally never had been better trauma-wise, today when people cry the most about it, for anything and everything.

And I don't expect you to agree with this assessment. That's my opinion, it's a free universe.
Pixel Planes is the ancestor to GPUs with the identical relationship of the titans to the gods in Greek mythology.
Caches violate the generational hypothesis. Entries die in middle age: long enough to have survived multiple young generation collections, so that they are promoted to older generations. The problem is that older generations are (a) not collected as frequently, (b) are often larger than newer generations, and (c) have a lower proportion of dead space to live objects, so the effort of tracing has lower value.

Caches that are in scalar data forms (e.g. byte arrays) or off-heap aren't too bad - bytes and off-heap memory doesn't need to be traced. If you're caching an object graph dense with pointers, then not so great.

Hhm, this time your answer doesn't convince me. Setting "required" is not always possible, and using UPDATE to set a value works only as an ex-post solution, i.e. you must already know that there is an error. But this was exactly the point of my hypothetical example: the balance-query returns 0 which is a perfectly legal account balance and there is no reason to suspect an error in the first place.

So, I still think that the definition "sum({}) = 0" has more potential to hide errors than the definition "sum({}) = {}" would have.
What I learned by reverse-engineering Airbnb’s internationalization library
OK, I read it.

It seems pretty simplistic tbh. I too was talented in math and got fairly little encouragement from my math teachers. Despite this, I had the math bug hard and on my own initiative took college math classes up the advanced undergraduate level at the time.

I went on to take a lot of math but not to become a mathematician. In a sense, the world of advanced academic subjects and the world of sports have a certain resemblance - there's room for only a handful at the top, especially now days. There are probably more tenured mathematicians in the world than there are professional sports stars but there aren't many of either and "feeders" tend to produce more of potential stars than can ever fully succeed. So coaches pushing everyone with athletic talent towards a professional sports track actually do severe disservice to lot of disadvantaged students. Someone going a long way in math will end up with more skills than the nearly successful athlete but thinking about it, if teachers are going to be encouraging, they should encourage a balance of learning and let the highly decide by themselves if they want to go the extreme. Which is to say HS math teachers should be different but probably not more like coaches.

Another HS anecdote - another friend of mine, the son of an actual math professor (who probably had more raw talent than myself), came back from a Harvard interview with the comment

- "I'm not going to be a mathematician. I found out that to be a mathematician you have to be always thinking, at the grocery store thinking, because all of the easy problems have been solved and to solve the hard problems you need to think 24/7".

This isn't to say that math shouldn't be taught differently. What's needed imo is a curriculum where teachers evangelize math, and math-as-mental-discipline, for most students rather than math-as-needed for career or math for the most advanced.

Either an assertion is a conventional belief, which is a truth that has no evidence, or a logical conclusion belief, which they don't fully understand (eg lack of understanding about cause and effect in a study). These concepts are often confused, but neither of them are fundamental to a rational discussion.

A lack of acknowledgement when these biases are discovered, is a compelling reason to eject from a discussion. Discussion is one tool to convert beliefs to truths. Sometimes the beliefs changed are ill-recieved, but it your own or another's.
I think those who enjoy that kind of scenes are very distanced to it (not making a connection to reality).
I totally understand you since you've been in combat and relates entertainment violence to real violence.
I've gotten changed after having kids. Watching kids suffer hurts my heart and seeing adults suffer can cause me to see them as someones grown up kids. There is (most often) a view you can have on violence that causes empathy.
This has been tried. The code looks kind of plausible, but doesn't quite compile. Some of the other examples (Shakespeare, Latex, wikipedia source code) are pretty good at a structural level. http://karpathy.github.io/2015/05/21/rnn-effectiveness/

This had about 10 million parameters though, compared to OpenAi's 1.5B. I don't think their text is nonsense though. There's some very interesting examples. They have since released publicly a 345M parameter version, there are some nice examples from that model pre-trained with modern poetry on this twitter account: https://twitter.com/rossgoodwin
> If anything the popularity of GraphQL indicates that they want more flexibility than is usually available through REST

I absolutely agree. GraphQL clearly addresses a pain point, or a gap. I just don't think it should be seen as a replacement. Pick the right tool for the job.
I wish these articles would include a little more beyond anecdotal evidence.

There was an article on here not long ago about a guy who was in charge of one of the Civilization franchise releases and he drove himself nearly nuts doing it. There'll always be people who are at the wrong place, at the wrong time - that's hardly newsworthy.

Some of it is environment, some of it is their own make-up and circumstance.

Thankfully, we live in a free market - if people find violence and gore unattractive, they can work on and/or play many other games with similar budgets poured into them! Let the free market decide what people want - it's very good at it.

This idea of moralizing/categorizing things into right and wrong for society is a dead end. Alcohol prohibition in the USA being the go-to example for anyone who has any doubt. People want to do things that are on some level self destructive. It is not anyone's place to tell them otherwise - simply because it doesn't work. You prohibit one thing, they find a way around it or find a different outlet, resulting in consequences that are difficult to predict.
>This does not happen in math either. What does happen is some students have significantly more preparation than others

Are you saying people don't have inherent different abilities in mathematics? That's hard to believe based on real-world examples.

On the low end of abilities scale, you have people suffering from dyscalculia[1]. You could repeatedly attempt to teach some of them algebra and calculus for years and they'd never be able to master it. It doesn't mean they're stupid; It's just that math in particular is very difficult for them. There are 20-year olds in college that have been subjected to math education for decades that still can't pass a remedial algebra class.

In contrast, on the high end, you have prodigies like Terrence Tao[2] that learned calculus at age 7. His brain literally burns less calories and requires less study time than most others to learn calculus.

I’m a bit worried about how we’re throwing stuff at space as fast as we can afford it without any legitimate way to clean it up after it becomes garbage. This project intends to have interlink based on 7k+ satellites and they will undoubtedly become outdated in about 20 years and will have to be replaced by next generation. This is tons and tons of useless metal and silicon orbiting Earth colliding with other useless silicon forming a layer of very high-energy fragments that will destroy everything they come in contact with. And we currently don’t know how deal with it.

It feels uneasy especially when you recognize parallels with climate change in how we’re creating a problem for future generations chasing shorter-term goals.
There are definitely differences between people (e.g. differences in personality, interests, working memory, focus, emotional control, ...)

But my impression is that differences in (a) preparation/trained skills and (b) other context like diet, exercise, amount of sleep, family/relationship stress, illness, .... are more significant.

At the least, nearly everyone is capable of successfully handling the standard school curriculum, given a few hours per week of 1:1 tutoring by an expert.
I'm currently in a bootcamp in SF after several years in product/analytics type roles in tech. I decided to finally go for it after considering it for a few years because structured learning/accountability helps me learn a lot faster.

>local small colleges instead of say, Georgia Tech or UGA

This really only applies for CS, but I wouldn't hire people with "IT" degrees for programming jobs no matter where they went (not based on their degree anyway).

GSU is much larger than either GaTech or UGA, and it just received an award for being the 2nd best teaching institution in the US. Kennesaw is about the same size now that they merged with Southern Poly, and their CS program is also ABET accredited.

I've taken CS classes at both GSU and Tech, depending on the classes the person takes at GSU, there isn't a big teaching disparity. The type of person who makes it into Tech changes things, but if you look at their transcripts when hiring you can quickly see who took the easy classes and scraped by with Cs and who really took it seriously
We're talking about daily 24/24 exposure for the rest of your life. I don't think we can put 3 mice in a cage, blast them for 3 hours and declare that it only had a weak effect = it's safe.

Coding tests are the easy part.

Hey thank you for the insight, but if you happen to have travelled across India you would know that India is diverse at its very core and there are no clusters (in this case a village) that is working towards a industrialized approach to its art or handicrafts, our strength still lies in its human essence. And so to answer the question the artists are as diverse as they come.
Incredible that revealing that would be considered a violation of national security, conceiving it should have been considered a violation of national security. The dumbasses that came up with this idea were fortunately overruled by people with a bit more sense of what the public response to such vandalism would be.

Amazing. Endorsed by Snowden makes me trust this so much

„Snowden didn’t just steal information about “domestic spying” operations. The truth is Snowden apparently stole many more files related to what most in the intelligence community and beyond see as legitimate, overseas spy operations — including anti-terror operations and those targeted against the U.S. by our enemies. He reportedly focused his theft on the most sensitive “Level 3” data that includes lists of sources and methods in China, Russia and Iran.

This is the type of information that “could invalidate America’s entire intelligence enterprise if it were placed in the hands of an adversary,” Esptein writes. He suggests Snowden would have known Booz-Allen Hamilton in Hawaii (his last contractor position) was one of the few contractor facilities that had the authority to hold “Level 3” data and former co-workers believe he took the lesser paying gig”
