> Its propellers have a slight S-curve designed to lower their noise to make them more acceptable for use in populated neighborhoods, Kimchi said. The craft is far more stable in high winds than more traditional drones, he said.

Noise is my main concern with drone delivery networks. I have been playing with radio controlled aircraft for most of my life. I see drone delivery as inevitable, but living near a noisy drone delivery route could really lower quality of life for the people on the ground.
> C++ has saner rules for implicit type conversions

I say this partly in jest, but once I have wrapped all my primitives in structs C has a perfectly reasonable rule for implicit type conversions: "don't".
One thing I wish YouTube would clamp down on is extreme planet trashing. People do pranks such as buying a thousand burgers to toss the lot in a swimming pool. They get the ten million likes that pays for the burgers and the local burger restaurant makes a bit of money but some cows had to die for the 'stunt'. Meanwhile at YouTube headquarters they are diligently doing their recycling. At some stage you have to wonder if YouTube are being a good corporate citizen. They encourage this wasteful behaviour.

Regarding the censoring of extreme views, what I don't understand is why YouTube gave the likes of Alex Jones such a long run. I suspect that for a while it was working out well for YouTube having people watch his rants as well as the 9/11 conspiracy theory stuff.

This defied common sense, his garbage was being recommended to people that weren't looking for it. I think these Google people get a bit too clever for their own good without taking time out to just ask if things are common sense.

I think we should all have the option to seek out views differing to our own, for instance I do care to find out what the likes of Timothy McVeigh actually thought. It doesn't mean I believe in them or what they have done. I don't want some BBC journalist to interpret that for me, I want to hear it for myself.

Recently the Iran state broadcaster Press TV got banned from YouTube with no explanation given. They did not have many views, however, now they are gone, how is anyone supposed to 'see' what Iran thinks of the world? There was no hate speech on their channel, it was just banished. Press TV is positively benign compared to recent UK/US leaders and I don't believe I am controversial in saying that. Something is deeply wrong with the censorship landscape.
The relationship between the business cycle and demand for graduate school is complicated. Some programs have a very strong countercyclical component to their demand, and others don't. See http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.648... (and section 5 in particular).

More than two hours. Looking at the Runner's World calculator for a comparison:

Inputs are: 1 mile, 11:30 minutes/mile, 210 lbs weight

Gives back 159 calories for a 1 mile run, 829 calories per hour.

My Beat Saber workouts yesterday tally up at 830 calories per hour and the amount of sweating felt in the ballpark of running an 11 minute mile. I don't think the watch's estimates are that outlandish.

https://www.runnersworld.com/training/a20801301/calories-bur...

Again factoring in that I weigh 210 lbs, their calculator also says a marathon would be upwards of 4100 calories for me. 1900 calories clocks in at less than half of a marathon.
I understand the reason and how it is a necessary evil. But it's still an evil. Simply put, it is discrimination.

Paying the poor less and the wealthy more.

It makes no sense that two employees with the same workload and same credentials would get a different pay based on their primary address' geolocation.

Just off the top of my head :

- Employee resides at their rich parent's home and get a higher pay vs. employee move near their mother's elderly care center in a ghetto and dock their pay.

- Employee lives alone with no dependents in a high pay area vs. employee being a single-parent in a low pay area.

- Employee lives on a native reservation and get less pay.

- Employee lives in a co-location in a high pay area vs. employee lives alone in a low pay area.

- Employee has impressive credentials in a low pay area vs. employee with no credential living in a high pay area.

- etc.

This is nothing more than a loophole that allows you to give a bonus to employees living in high pay areas while keeping a clear conscience.

If anything, kudos for being open about the whole situation.

Video conferencing is great for people taking turns presenting, but my experience is that Zoom with high-end integrated conference rooms on 1Gbps fiber cannot support conversation. The latency and audio processing wreck the normal “traffic control” protocol for interactive discussion. Participants don’t perceive and yield to others trying to jump in, like they would in person. Instead you get a sequence of monologues, which requires formal moderation to work decently.
Physical media is for the last century. Even slow thinking incumbent console makers are starting to realize that.

We (sentry.io) use actix-web (though not yet 1.0) for our symbolicator project. It’s the service that handles all of our native events for symbolication. That’s for minidump processing, dwarf/pdb based symbolication and much more.

Couldn’t be happier with it. It’s super fast and stable and does it’s job really well. We run three machines for it and it didn’t manage to go past 10% CPU usage yet.

Code is here for the curious: https://github.com/getsentry/symbolicator
I love this comment for showing me exactly why there's such a big split in reaction to the Peloton bike and similar products.

To me, heart rate and pace are the whole point and the music and instructor are the meaningless bells and whistles.
It sounds neat, but I'm wondering about how people who work with matrices can make their code readable. Defining everything in terms of array indices seems a bit finicky and obscure? Suppose you get the index wrong and get the wrong thing?

It seems like named columns like in SQL might be better?
One difference is that radical Islam basically just wants you to convert. White supremacy doesn't really present that option.
Julia has some really cool libraries for index notation. I've made extensive use of TensorOperations.jl [1] and TensorCast.jl [2]. I find that the capabilities of these two complement each-other really well since TensorOperations.jl is a bit more restricted in the sort of operations it can do, but it does all sorts of really powerful analysis to find the optimal way of doing a given contraction whereas TensorCast.jl is super flexible, permissive and expressive but doesn't always generate an optimal contraction for big high dimensional contractions.

I'm excited to see what comes out of Andreas' summer work on his implementation of Einsum! There's definitely room for more cool ideas in this space. In particular, I think baking in AD functionality is a cool approach.

This sounds like they only did the self policing ahead of inspection, and as soon as it passed it was business as usual, which is not how a company should behave.
Hmm, that kinda shifts my position on the iron triangle.
I’m confused as well, I’ve known a few MS CS students who didn’t do the RA TA Route, but were paying out of pocket. I never asked why because it seemed to be an infringement on their privacy.
Very few companies use HPKP, for fear of bricking their site / business. Even fewer people view the cert details of a site when they are being phished. The transparency logs will show the host the attacker used to make the cert, though attribution is rare, as they often use stolen CC's to pay for the VM's.
I went back for my masters in CS after being a civil engineer for two years and learning cs my free time.

These articles panning formal education don't fully grasp how difficult it is to get your foot in the door as a non-cs person whose also working full time.

I also wanted to do something more technical than just web dev, which most career changers seem to land up in. Being a grad student opened a lot of doors into more technical roles in companies that are _only_ reserved for grad students.

Grad school is expensive, but I went in with a solid plan. I mitigated some of this by going to an in-state school with a good CS program and commuting to class. I was very focused in my course choices and was a 4.0 student, which unlocked even more opportunities.

I was able to land two good internships (one in embedded development and one in machine learning) and used that experience to springboard into a high paying role in NYC. I have no problems living alone in the city, paying my loans, and still saving a significant amount of money per paycheck.

This is completely anecdotal but what I'm arguing is that grad school can be a good idea if you have a solid plan of how to get the most out of your education. The people I see who haven't gotten their money's worth came into school and just drifted through while assuming that opportunities would come to them just by virtue of being a grad student.
How can you be at the same time concerned by the fact “it's changing very fast” and having “concern regarding the maintenance and state of actix going forward” ?

Now that Actix isn't used in Actix-web anymore, I would expect two alternatives: it either continues to be developed at a fast pace (with frequent breaking changes) or it will settle it in current state, due to the lack of interest from its main author (with possible maintenance concerns, but with no more breaking changes). But I don't see how both could happen at the same time…
> Today, we're taking another step in our hate speech policy by specifically prohibiting videos alleging that a group is superior in order to justify discrimination, segregation or exclusion based on qualities like age, gender, race, caste, religion, sexual orientation or veteran status.

I wonder if things like the Freedom From Religion Foundation would qualify for a ban. Or a church that preaches that their god is the correct one.

You can't choose your age, gender (mostly), race, caste, sexual orientation, or veteran status, but religion is malleable and public discourse about those topics where one person argues that their view is superior to others is pretty important to society.

It's not clear if YouTube is going to remove anything that asserts some religious beliefs are indeed superior to others.
Absolutely, i stick to C89 in this serie for clarity as you said, knowing what a game engine does under the hood is the only point here and C is a self explanatory language by design (even if it can be "tricky" sometimes), Im also doing tricky things with it (not that tricky anyways) like the method-like function pointers in the structures that can be "obscure" for those who only work with high level languages but i'm trying to explain everything with detail.

As i said previously, i'd never do a profesional game proyect (or even a hobby one to be sold) with C89, it takes lots of boilerplate and it feels like reinventing the wheel over and over. I'll have to code a hash map approach, a growing array (already did), a "garbage collector" in C89, things that you either don't need or have in the C++ Stdlib, so yep, you are absolutely right.

Also, i enjoy C :D

Maybe after this i could do the same with C++ macroprogramming

Of course not.

Are you suggesting that 100% usage implies fraud?

There's a difference between suspecting fraud from high resource usage and equating high resource usage with fraud.

The latter is what is happening, here, and its outrageous.
Sketch Announces Sketch for Teams
There are 2 tiers of graduate studies. Ones paid by grants and are more PhD style and are mostly free as you said. They are selective and do not have a lot of slots.

And the 'free standing' ones that have a lot more slots, are not research focused and cost a lot more. Often seen for professionally licensed professions like psychology, law, or medicine.

Sometimes to a degree where it's a really bad idea. Like in psychology where private grad school costs 5-7 years of your life and $200-$400k of %6-%8 debt for a job that pays $100-150k/yr.

> If they don't want the government forcing them to host content and uphold free speech then they have to take responsibility for the content in the eyes of the law. Currently they're having it both ways, free to ban ideas they don't like and control the content they deliver without being responsible for libel/slander.

It sounds like you're saying that they either have to host absolutely any video anyone uploads, or else stand behind every video as if they made it themselves.

I don't see how a video platform could exist on those terms.
> Noise is my main concern with drone delivery networks.

What about 20-50 lb flying machines falling onto sidewalks, roofs, and streets?

You don't see amateur RC aviation enthusiasts flying their model airplanes in the middle of the city, and I sure as hell don't want to see a corporation doing this on an industrial scale.

Why not ground-based drone delivery?
Proposal: A built-in Go error check function, “try”
I wish somebody would start a business with 1000 Pi-hole servers on a CDN cloud and charge $10/year to use them. But I don't have a clue how you match DNS lookups to paying customers.

> White supremacy can be reasonably credited for the Holocaust,

Not so! There is significant, though not watertight evidence that Hitler intended the Holocaust to be followed by mass extermination and enslavement of Slavic peoples (so-called Generalplan Ost), whom Nazi Germans regarded as an "inferior" race according to their racial ideology, and surely not "Aryan" - despite, y'know, Slavic languages sharing a common ancestry with both Germanic languages and Indo-Iranic ones! Nazi German attitudes to the "supremacy" of race, culture and the like were a lot weirder than people are usually ready to admit these days; while they may have been rooted in some sorts of shared vocabulary from the early 20th-century, to a far greater extent they were just "Nazi Germany and the friends of Nazi Germany good, everyone else bad!" Of course, this is the story of supremacist ideologies everywhere; but the point is that we should not grow complacent and reassure ourselves that there's anything especially peculiar about white-supremacist nationalism; it's just one of many, many ideologies with broad similarities in their appeal to hateful sentiment.

> Regarding point 2, we do expect to require feedback and assistance from teams within the Rust project, particularly with regards to what parts of the language to formalize, and the most practical methods to achieve this.

It seems like some Rust developers are particular about the governance of the language and overall ecosystem [1]. This strict subsetting seems like it could be a good opportunity to engage the team. Has that already happened? If not, maybe it would be good to create an RFC and/or working group, even if the effort happens independent from the core rustlang dev. If there's some explicit endorsement, it could include guidance and an easier way to upstream changes.

> Who is this effort aimed towards?

I wonder if "cryptography" is a domain that applies here? Things like enclaves/signed bootloaders are things where mistakes can be very costly.

I think this is more or less the consensus opinion among managers, which is why we mostly have office jobs that support some WFH rather than fully in office or fully remote.
Have you ever tried a spin class at a gym? No one goes in with the expectation that it should be an experience like working with a personal trainer. So many absurd comments here, my head is starting to spin. (pun intended)

The whole point of the instructor is to instruct you and encourage you to work harder. They are there to keep you focused on the task. Never once felt like these people are virtual drill instructors, which insinuates a demeaning, impersonal experience.
Interesting perspective. There are more of the middle/working classes who want to travel, but the upper classes travel more per capita. Maybe the problem isn't just us, the middle and working classes who want to see the world a little. Maybe it's also you, the privileged upper classes, who want to travel far more than the average...
ah, you are talking about MBAs alongside marketing and sales. I would agree there

YouTube started out as a way to empower people to post home videos on the internet, a place for every day people to share video.

And you're right, it has always restricted illegal content. And that's a good line to draw.

So..

What's illegal about this new content?

Or what has changed that they now think they're ready to judge what is extreme and hateful?

Or what has changed that they now think they even should?

That goes without saying. If even the NSA is warning it means the fix was out for quite some time and postponing is rarely (if ever) a net positive.

Totally agree. A career should be a constant mix between learning and working. But only a few get the chance to learn on the job and going to school while working on a job (and making needed money) is very hard.
It’s because you’re caught on thinking dimensions are physical, if you realize it’s all really just data it’s pretty simple since you’re doing it already.
I've found this link helpful too:

https://github.com/flosse/rust-web-framework-comparison
Having people be 'working' (whether remote or in-office) for a set number of hours versus having people 'working' for a set output of productivity is a totally different conversation than remote vs in-office work. I've previously managed both remote and in-office teams, and I've definitely see all the things you're mentioning, but I also saw plenty of remote workers who saw their job as just "i will sit in front of my computer for X number of hours and as long as I have Slack open, I will call it work". Instead of "Seat Time", it's "Screen Open Time". There is nothing inherent about remote work that makes people more productive. Unfortunately, I often saw the opposite.

And you're right that it makes management's job easier. It is management's job to make sure that their teams are producing work, and the unfortunate reality of a lot of workers is that unless they have the threat of someone walking by and seeing that they aren't being productive, they will end up wasting a lot of time. This doesn't mesh well with remote work. Not everyone is like that, but many are, and that's enough to ruin the remote work experience for everyone.
> seems to appeal to the spin class crowd

This is the reason I don't see this as a good long term investment. The market seems to be people who are already really into spin classes and pay the premiums they demand. To them, having their own equipment and a lower monthly fee will seem like a good deal. But your average gym-goer won't be willing to drop thousands upfront and more per month just on a nice exercise bike.
Curious how well it will deal with locating the correct place at the correct house to deliver the package? One way to achieve this might be to only use the drone after a human delivery person has delivered a package and tagged in Amazon's map database where packages should be dropped. Or perhaps the house resident uploads a picture of their house with the drop location?
Your logic falls apart, if the initial set != the 2nd set.
I don’t know what you are arguing for but let’s have some perspective here. Chinese people have been immigrating to North America for over a hundred years and have been successful despite differences in culture etc. It was more difficult back then too.
