There's also a lot of work going on in that direction right now. I'd check out NamedDims.jl[1] and AxisArrays.jl[2]. This approach is more similar to an EinSum type apprach than you seem to realize though.

The main difference between this sort of approach and the approach in an EinSum esque package is that these packages actually encode the name of the dimensions in the type signature of the array whereas an Einsum-esque approach, the names are just temporary labels for the purposes of the macro call.

Well it is not news that it would work out fine for 1% motivated/extraordinary/well-off people. It's the rest who need more caution and be realistic about their prospects.
It is competitive, but you don't see that competition because you flat-out tell people you won't pay them competitively. I would never consider Gitlab for that reason, it just doesn't make financial sense.

Money isn't everything, I've certainly taken a significant paycut to take a job I wanted and believed in. But I'd have to take a 50% paycut to work at Gitlab, so... no thanks. And worse yet, you'd openly pay a city dweller on my team twice as much to do the same work.
I don't want to assume bad faith, but I have the impression that you are arguing just for the sake of arguing.

What about my statement is speculation?

• Youtube themselves state that they optimize for watch time.

• I don't want to go and search for papers on this, but I don't think the idea that people prefer to have their views validated instead of challenged is in any way controversial or speculation.

• It's also not speculation to state that people want to spend their time doing things that gives them positive emotions.

You clearly won't get "objective proof" on this, because the only way to actually proof this would be to do a formal study on it. And why would anyone to a study on such an obvious non-controversial topic?

It certainly has improved, but Mac still has the edge in that regard. This mainly comes down to one things: Superior config management (plist files vs Windows registry). This makes it much easier to maintain - you hardly ever have to reinstall a Mac, instead just clean up all the Library folders and you're fine. A Mac HD also boots on any supported Mac hardware, impossible with windows, which makes things like Migration assistant and full Time machine restore possible.

Bundled apps to me are a wash. Preview >> Edge for PDFs and Terminal.app >> Cmd.exe, but explorer.exe >> Finder and Task Manager >> Activity Monitor.

Another big plus for windows is everything to do with graphics drivers and GPU support if you're into this. I also find WSL overall now better than Mac's Darwin since you get up to date Linux packages which beats homebrew in my books. Performance of WSL is also pretty good, much better than running a VM. This is really what turned Windows around for me, making it a very viable alternative.
I'm not sure if I can find the exact paper anymore. This was in response to the Hurricane Challenge, a summary of results is available [1]. I tried to use code for uwSSDRCt available from the legacy page of the conference [2], under the link "Live and recorded speech modifier", direct download here [3].

The basic context is verification code delivery -- I'm playing pre-recorded samples of numbers to users, and can't control or sample the noise (either transmission or environmental), but would like to enhance intelligibility to reduce user effort, improve experience, and reduce costs.

The other thing to keep in mind is that most of the benchmarks you see on the internet for these older systems haven't been redone with the mitigations needed for the new speculative execution vulnerabilities, but the ones for the newer processors more likely have, so you're not comparing like with like.

A cheap eight core processor sounds great until it turns out to be slower at everything than an even cheaper modern quad core. A quad core Ryzen 3 is under a hundred bucks, with a 45W TDP instead of 130W.
One of the founders of Ferrous Systems is a Rust Core Team Observer and member of the Governance WG and one of the other founders is a member of the Embedded WG, so I think they are very aware of Rust governance processes.

Firstly a Contract is a Meeting of Minds, the forty pages of small type in a PDF are nice, but it's laughable that you pretend you thought everybody read those before using your free service. And if they didn't read them, they clearly cannot agree with just every random term you threw in there and so it can't all be part of that meeting of minds, so there is not, in fact, a contract with people with those terms.

OK, so what _was_ agreed? Well, a court is going to decide what a _reasonable_ person thought they were getting into, and they'll use legislation (such as that from the GDPR) to help decide that. They'll also keep in mind a theory about relative power. You wrote these T&Cs, so the court is going to conclude that you should have taken that opportunity to add any terms you really cared about. On the other hand the _user_ wasn't able to edit the terms, so really anything they reasonably expected should probably be acceptable.

The GDPR says that you need to have the user explicitly opt in, they get to reasonably assume that's how it works, you can't change that in the text they didn't read.

You might think, "Aha, but I made them check a box saying they agree they read it". Too bad, that doesn't help for a very simple and pragmatic reason:

Judges are people too. When you explain this theory to a judge, who like other people has had to check loads of these stupid "I agree I have read a 400 page document before using this free service" boxes, they are going to look at you like you just said you think they're an idiot.

If you're thinking maybe you can try this on and see for yourself, you'll probably have to be your own lawyer. Certainly in the UK no competent lawyer will take that work. Years ago the UK passed a law banning certain contract terms in "short" residential leases (a "short" lease would be e.g. renting a house for a year). Immediately scumbag landlords wrote new contracts that said basically "I, the under-signed, agree to these terms even though they're not allowed" and then demanded their tenants sign the revised contract instead. Judges were not happy, and I pity the fool who first appeared in front of a judge trying to argue that this was somehow legal when it's obviously not.

If you're so sure your users want to explicitly agree to let you do this, make it a separate opt-in, like the regulation says. When, to your disappointment, they don't want to, that is a _learning opportunity_ for you. Take it.

"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 do not think you understand the meaning of the word "trust", you may want to look it up.

I just got a used Thinkpad with an i7. I was eyeballing cheaper stuff with i5. The reason I upgraded is the security problems in CPU's require mitigations that will probably keep slowing them down. I bought a faster core to mitigate those slowdowns a bit. Plus, get security updates for a while longer.
Except they were also falsifying training records.
Conversely, as a previous manager of remote teams, something I hope companies will consider is that a lot of remote workers think that just by having their laptop open they are 'working' regardless of whether they are in fact getting anything done. And unfortunately, when you have a remote worker like this, it is a lot harder to rectify the situation than it is to rectify a slacking in-office worker.

It's their platform, they can do what they want, but I personally dislike this urge to ban everything the group consensus doesn't like. Leaving aside questions about "which group" and "whose consensus", I don't like it mainly because I've always been the guy in my social circle that is interested in things no one else is. I will watch videos about odd topics because I like to test my base presumptions at times, for example. I went on a flat earth video binge a while back because one friend's wife fell into that rabbit hole. Was there something very basic about my understanding of the world around me that I could be missing somehow? Turns out that, no, there wasn't. Not that I could find through those videos, anyway. Same thing with moon hoax videos.

I don't think I've ever watched a nazi video or a holocaust denial one, but I have watched a Sandy Hook one. It was along the lines of assuming the government, or the Left, or whoever, is trying to manipulate you and see what facts you can find that might fit that model, ignoring anything that doesn't fit well. It was an interesting mental exercise, if nothing else.

At the very least, where will you point people to examples of people slipping off the tracks without realizing how they got there? I'd rather YT hid them behind the equivalent of an adult content flag, if they feel they have to do something, rather than banning them. They will just appear on some other site, which will suddenly become blocked by all the major players, including banks.

Just my opinion, and an admittedly unpopular one.
Anyone know why the super simple Middleware trait[1] was replaced by the more complex (and confusing at first) Transform and Service traits?

Here's the simple middleware examples:

0.7: https://github.com/actix/examples/blob/0.7/middleware/src/si...

1.0: https://github.com/actix/examples/blob/master/middleware/src...

Could a simple Middleware trait be added that would implement both new traits for us?

Seems the language needs to be specific then, or it allows for free manipulation of evidence.

Something like, allowed to copy and if that has an unintended consequence of modifying the machine, that is fine so long as evidence is not destroyed.
Ruby's community has an obsessive culture towards unit testing, that could impact bug levels.

Like Smalltalk, they're forced to do this to catch the errors that would've been caught by type annotation. So then, could the argument be made that less stringent type annotation hurts code quality by removing effort from unit testing?
Reminds me of https://varnish-cache.org/
While not a "ban" they already have taken measures against videos/channels that are primarily gun focused.
Yeah you'd have to take them one-by-one and see if there is some proxy if you can't measure the behaviour directly. For example, with testing you could use code-coverage or even a binary variable for the existence of tests - not perfect, but would give better results than no control at all.
> it'll use a fraction of the electricity if it cruises in "plane mode".

That'll depend how efficient the wing is. Usually there's trade-offs when doing a hybrid design (see V-22 Osprey).

Perhaps the trade-off is still a net benefit in that configuration though...

> If the max Payload is 5lbs I doubt it's going to weigh 50lbs. Maybe 10-20lbs

Not sure, in my RC flying experience, these aircraft can't lift much weight at all. Ounces are a serious concern, let alone pounds. Adding 1/4 extra weight is a big deal for something this small and without large wings to generate lift - the rotors are going to have to do a lot of work to get off the ground.

It'll probably need to be a pretty big aircraft to have enough battery carrying capacity to guarantee a safe round-trip with possible complications with wind, loiter time for safe landing, obstacle avoidance, etc, and big enough to support the 5lbs load without impacting flight characteristics too much.
In our experience, the day-to-day mechanics aren't too terribly different, but it requires more planning and management commitment. All the things that everyone SAYS they do when the bring on grad/junior devs, matter more, because the spray-and-pray of "hire 10 juniors and throw them in the ring and hope for osmosis" fails pretty badly.

When we bring on a junior, it's typically targeting a specific effort, with a specific team/mentor structure, and a desired exit strategy - at the end of X months, we expect the person will be capable of Y and Z, at which point they can fill these rolls in this other planned effort.

The mainline developer track isn't too tough to negotiate (a Java Dev 1 can do X, a Java Dev 2 can do Y, and so forth), but the harder part of the journey is cultivating breadth. Getting them experience with setting up a build system, or alternate OS familiarity, or learning color theory, or how to interpret a security scan.
All the electricity in my city to normal households are from solar/wind/hydro power so using old hardware is definitely better for the environment for me to use old hardware over buying new. It hurts the wallet though.

Absolutely nobody wants open war between nuclear superpowers.

> We expect this to be a significant undertaking (likely many full time developer-years of effort), and as such, it is something that will require paid effort to make real.

It is an ambitious undertaking, but strikes me more like a way to try to make more money off of Rust.

It is definitely a moonshot since Ada has a 35-year lead here since it has been used for critical systems since the 1980s. Ada 2020 will be out soon and pulls in several of the innovative ideas that Rust pioneered.

I am not saying that it is not possible, I am just skeptical of the reasons for trying to push Rust in the critical systems direction so suddenly.

Spider glue's sticky secret revealed by new genetic research
Why are you downvoted? Safety is a thousand times more concerning - the drones will mechanically fail, they will hit bad weather, they will collide with birds, there will be new drone delivery market entrants and will need coordination across systems... If a drone fails at an expected operating altitude, it can kill someone easily on the ground. If it fails at height over a highway, what if it kills a bus driver or causes a tractor trailer to lose control? What if they hit electric lines? What else can go in flight corridors at the same altitudes? Do they container chemicals or voltages that first responders have to be aware of?

I've got a partially-complete blog post about what "MISRA Rust" would look like (based on MISRA C rules). A surprisingly small amount is relevant. That's a far smaller undertaking, but I found it to be encouraging. There are entire classes of considerations you can dispense with entirely due to how the Rust language works. That gives me hope that this work would be smaller in scope than trying to do many other languages.

It seems like there isn't a great digital replacement for a whiteboard yet. Maybe a tablet and stylus, but I haven't used a digital whiteboard enough to justify buying or setting one up. Incorporating the stylus/tablet into laptops isn't a new idea, but I've never owned a work laptop with that feature.
I mentioned in other comments (and edited a bit with more accurate numbers), but I'll put it here too: the watch worked it out to 830 calories/hour and Runner's World says that's equivalent to me running at 11:30 minutes/mile based on my 210 lbs weight.

I've only gone running once this spring so I don't have a huge dataset (lots of walking and exercise bike instead), but the one run I did was a 10:30 mile. So I'm not especially fast, but 11:30 is a slow pace for me and feels reasonable as a beat saber equivalent workout.

Downside, the Quest's foam face-interface gets absolutely drenched in sweat. I need to get a sweatband and a wipeable pad replacement as soon as VRCover catches up on their backorders.

Even as an exercise bike owner who can hop on that for a workout whenever I want to, I've never gotten home from work and said "You know what I want to do? Exercise bike for more than two hours."

Compared to half an hour of exercise bike and two hours of Overwatch, I think this will be a huge deal for fitness.
