How I Consume Books
Concurrent programming in OCaml is fine though. Multicore is more about parallelism and the ability to use multiple cores without the need to rely on threads and multiple processes
Chromium stopped using webkit. They forked Blink.
The html version of gmail still works great! It also loads in under 30 seconds (near instantly for me) and is incredibly snappy. It also doesn’t look like a PM vomited google product integrations over the screen.
You are under no obligation to answer those legal questions. In fact, you probably shouldn't.

Just tell them politely that the GPL is available for them to read and well documented, and to ask their lawyer if it's really important to them.
Absolutely, I like it a lot!

I am from Austria and moved here 2.5 years ago. In between I lived in Dublin, Ireland for 1.5 years (can't recommend unless you like rain).

The main reason I moved to SF and why I also see myself here for the foreseeable future is the job market. No other place in the world can match the density of exciting tech companies of the SF Bay Area.

I LOVE my job but if I would not, then there would be tons of other interesting companies I could work for. If you’re a good engineer, then you can basically choose which company to work for (assuming you’re good at the interviewing game). Recruiters reach out all the time, and over time you will also build up a network of friends at other companies.

All these exciting opportunities attract great talent from all over, and companies try hard to attract and retain that talent. It’s a lot of fun to work on a strong team!

The other thing that’s fairly unique to the Bay Area is the high total compensation for engineers. Based on what I hear and read, I would assume that the TC for a regular engineer with a few years of experience is at least $300k on average. AFAIK that’s impossible to find outside of the US, and only in a few other places inside the US (Seattle, NYC). Also, since the Bay Area is home to a lot of fast growing companies, the potential financial upside is huge if you're lucky enough to choose such a company!

The best advice I can give is to choose the company you work for carefully. Ensure the business has the right trajectory, the hiring bar is high, and the compensation is fair.

The city itself has been discussed here and elsewhere extensively. I agree with many of the points but overall I quite enjoy it. I live in a nice neighborhood (Inner Sunset) and for me the job market far outweighs the downsides of living here. At the moment I can not imagine moving back to Europe.

In the end, it depends on what you’re looking for and which set of trade offs is the right one for you.
Does BPA exposure increase proportionally with receipt length? It would be interesting to, say, ink up your fingertips and then compare the area of ink transferred to different length receipts after handling them in a typical "toss into bag/pocket, skim when you get home, toss into trash" procedure.

This distinction is part of the reason why the LGPL exists, and why many libraries are in fact licensed under LGPL instead of GPL.
Keep a sense of scale. 30 KiB is small. If all the libraries you use add up to less than 50 KiB, then really, no one will notice.

Think of a "modern best-practices" site that uses a big framework and some big addons and feature libraries, and ends up with like 500 KiB of JS. Some end up with megabytes! That's crazy. I think these developers don't have a sense of scale. They probably think I promote premature-optimization, that they're good engineers who follow best practices and use best-in-class tools and techniques ... but they don't have a sense of scale to see how the results are not reasonable.

30 KiB is small. 100 KiB total is probably quite OK. 500 KiB is very fat. 2 MiB is crazy town. Sense of scale :)

This has been bothering me for a long time, I learned from this article that you can disable receipt printing from the CVS app. Go into account settings and set email delivery to disable local print.
Which sensors do you use? Are you happy with them overall?
This looks a lot like the Flux pattern, it would be interesting to understand how they deal with conflicts and updates that keep failing, will the Mutation Manager cancel the optimistic state after a certain amount of failed requests to the server?
I'm not convinced that's the proper reading of that law. FWIW, I'm not a lower just a person with an appreciation of legal questions. I was under the impression that the word 'imminent' implied you had to reasonably be aware those people were going to commit a crime immediately. For example if you're at the front of a mob of angry people and tell them to go loot a shop. I think it would be hard to convincingly say that on a website where 99% of users are joking that posters were inciting crime directly.
CMC200 and CMC200EX. CoinMarketCap Indexes and why I do not trust them
I feel like these platforms are catering to a very particular kind of artist, an artist who has an audience that is willing to pay for content and not just consume it. How do you make people pay for something they never paid for in the past?

Most interesting works of art are not acknowledged monetarily at least initially. Money means making compromises and artists really don’t like making those. I suppose the Drip or Patreon artist is something YouTube helped create. An artist created by the audience for the audience. I just wonder how this all fits into the current needs of artists that are not musicians or YouTube stars.

Artists primarily need funding and space. They need a free studio to work in and work relief so that they have time to focus on their art. In Europe this often happens through government backed grants. Of course in the US there’s a lack of funded for artists. What if these companies used their position and money to lobby for arts funding from the government? Obviously this would be hard in the current administration but maybe this could also be done privately. Imagine if the government or a bunch of tech companies were paying artists a living wage to create public works or art, teach in schools, and design our cities.
This is such a reasonable and great response.
That's really awful; I'm so sorry you both had to go through that.

Would you mind sharing more information about how you found that list (esp for a given zip), and how you think they tied that information to an address? My email is in my profile, if you wouldn't mind reaching out.
> For his part, Buckleitner thinks this is too neat of an explanation.

'too neat an explanation'. 'neat' is an adjective, so there's no call for 'of' here. It's bad enough when people get this wrong in speech ...

Well, if you're just doing a standard finite difference method, and you have to keep shuffling your matrices between CPU and GPU because other operations don't work well on GPUs, you actually won't have any speedup.

Where GPUs shine for PDEs is if you have a lot of extra work for each node, for instance if you have complex chemical reactions or thermodynamics, or if you have a high-order method that requires lots of intermediate computations.

If you don't believe me, you can download the PETSc code and test the ViennaCL solvers versus the regular ones.
I work primarily in .NET and Angular and it’s a well known term in both of those. Especially confusing with RxJS observable as they are related to JavaScript too.
I suppose the thing that was peculiar at the time was that she was a female entrepreneur doing business in a male dominated industry. Women were probably seen as secretaries and in other ”supporting” roles (like coding) but ”big business” was dealt by men. Unfortunately, we’ve still not left that world behind.
To be fair, /leftypol/ has many users who'd get banned from more civil leftist communities before they can finish saying "liberals get the bullet too".
I can’t stand when I go to Mcdonals and ask to hold the pickle. They print a grill order receipt and tape it to the burger. It is a little receipt that states no pickle. All I can think when I see them is their ink is rubbing off on my fries.
> Using and moving troops and weapons accounted for about 70% of its energy consumption, mostly due to the burning of jet and diesel fuel, Crawford said.

So, not the Pentagon. The entire military.
Call it whatever you want, it's painfully obvious to me that things like feminist activism have fueled the rise of the alt-right. I say this as someone who was a regular on 4chan during the gamergate fiasco and watched it happen.
These words don’t need to be attached to a state. most private services, even ostensibly serving as public forums, are de facto authoritarian—the authorities just want us to like them. States with monopoly of violence have no such constraints, but we still must live by the dictates of powerful people (often with interests deeply contrary to our own) we have no access to.
>We can throw in as many other causal factors as we want in an attempt to explain the current socio-political state of the country, but we can't really deny that it looks as if the new counterculture exists somewhere on the right.

If you're arguing this in good faith I'm sorry, but this is outright delusion. The political ideology that controls the highest office in the country and half of the legislature is counterculture? Seriously? Can you see how absurd this claim is?
I can live with the long receipts. What I hate is the huge penalty for not having an affinity card. Safeway did that first, then Walgreens and CVS followed. Lucky doesn't do that, and I usually go there.

8chan supports for posts via tor. I do wonder how many of the posters there used it, making fbi unable to locate them.
Yeah, inaccurate and clickbaity headline.
Yes, the stack is growing (currently somewhere around 200). However, I think in terms of resources it's better to have a lot of bookmarks than to have a lot of open tabs. Also there is almost some kind of gamification to try to reduce the number.
But then I would have to tell them my email address.
You'd be surprised. Decades ago I had to convert mortgage software that was using 32-bit floating point to fixed point arithmetic because they discovered that the cumulative errors from computing payments over 30+ year mortgages could lead to non-trivial inconsistencies.

Don't knock the impact of cumulative loss of precision.
A lot of it is also old-fashioned trolling.

For example, there’s occasional moral panics about white supremacist dog-whistles, like Pepe the frog or the hand gesture. Of course, it’s also the hand gesture for a three point shot in basketball, so you have all kinds of sarcastic “Steph Curry is a white supremacist” memes about it. (Dog whistles in general are, 80% of the time, a moral panic anyway.)

I don’t know if this is how that particular gesture got that association, but trolls (who are possibly white supremacists) will sometimes deliberately invent absurdly innocuous dog whistles, like the phrase “it’s OK to be white”, just to provoke the moral panic from the other side and to force them into absurd rhetorical positions. The metagame being that, maybe they actually are white supremacist dog whistles, depending on how ironically the coiners of them adhere to white supremacism.

There’s a similar reaction in some left-wing circles, eg the “misandrist” sphere of Tumblr, which seems partly comprised of feminists who ironically claim the term “misandry” because they are accused of it by their opponents and also partly composed of feminists who unironically hate men.

It’s not just political either. I kind of suspect a lot of the conspiracy or flat earth stuff is just disingenuous trolling or LARPing. I mean, some people are kooks, but other people just pretend to be for fun.
I wonder how true anecdotes like that might be?

For example, what portion of trolls who said [offensive thing] ironically for shock value ended up internalizing that [offensive thing] later on?

And is this like the concern that violent video games normalize violence?
My parents started a company 20 years ago that turns old clothing into cleaning rags sold to factories, workshops, printing presses, or for materials that are not great for cleaning with, they get shredded and used for filling in things like car seats etc. Good quality clothing gets sold in second-hand shops. And you know what's interesting to me? That in those 20 years my parents never once talked about it as "recycling" - it's just good business even without looking at it from the environmental perspective.
Get a dedicated email address/domain? Handy for lots of situations and makes you not have to worry about this again.
coming from western washington, it felt amazing!!! But yeah, coming from other places I think it feels too cloudy/foggy/cool for people.
It should be treated as a serious crime.
Why not a government regulated database?
I've wondered for some time why card processors don't have an API to accept receipt data so that they could handle storing receipts along with the transactions. It would be a little less wasteful but also allow some of the newer banks to create some interesting products. Your bank or card issuer already knows which store you visited, when, and where. Knowing what products your purchased doesn't add too much more dimension of creepiness onto their pile of data.
Still a lot less paper than a kids school notebooks.
It's not Fitbit that necessarily is collecting this data, though. Fitbit might simply be using an SDK for Bluetooth detection, for example, that's provided by a company that does sell user data. The number of paid platforms and frameworks that are out there and used by all kinds of companies is crazy and it's not too big of a stretch to realize that some kind of tracking framework runs on the business of aggregating and selling that data while only providing the company in question using the framework with some of it.

It's not even too big of a stretch to realize how many free WordPress frameworks out there collect and sell aggregated site visitor data. I mean... if you're using a free Google Analytics service, do you honestly think they're not doing something with all that access to your site info?
Something I noticed a long time ago: I can listen to music and code at the same time, but I can't listen to music and write an email. Might be that music and speech are processed by the same area of the brain that can't multitask. While writing an email, the brain either classifies music as a distraction and starts filtering it (you don't hear the music while writing human text), or just signals to turn it off completely. Somehow this is not a problem while writing code!

So what is special about coding that makes it compatible with music?

My best theory is that coding, though it looks like you are typing text, is managed by the areas of the brain responsible for action and not speech (and it is why music can't get in the way). Though programming itself is not action, it's a planning activity, but something suggests planning an action and acting should happen in the same area of the brain. When you write a program, you create a mental model of the future program and imagine how it will act in various situations. If the input can not be parsed, raise an error, etc. A "theory of mind" applied to a virtual machine rather than a human.

Which brings me to another interesting question of why programming comes "naturally" to some specific type of people, while it can be a challenge to others: it is those of us who can build and maintain a "theory of mind" of a machine relatively easy. Similarly to the real "theory of mind" and sociability that is given to some but not the others.

Anyway, I don't know what the bottom line of this can be, but for one thing, coding is not what it seems. It is not at all just typing text. In fact as a coder, you should think more and write less - that's one of my mottos. The better the mental model of your future machine is, the more elegant and reliable your code will be.
It's the key finding of the study, I don't see how it's clickbait (surely the opposite, it's telling you upfront what the topic and answer is rather than "you won't believe who ...").

Do you have something more substantial than "inaccurate" as a critique of the study?
This is exactly what happens. Prager U and Ben Shapiro advertise heavily on content adjacent to them (gaming) and their views go up, up they go in the algorithm.

Recycle is the THIRD of the three Rs for a reason. Fast fashion is incredibly heavy in CO2 output, so recycling won't do much at all to hamper this UNLESS people shift their purchasing away from heavy consumption. The recycling process very likely has significant CO2 impact itself, so here’s hoping it’s at least heavily reduced from using raw materials.

That said, I’m very excited about this, and SF offers recycling that’s very convenient. Much better than goodwill/thrift IMHO for more than lightly worn clothing—fast fashion doesn’t make good second hand clothing as it’s typically cheaply made and falls apart rapidly.
It makes sense if you consider the interests of some of the other Middle Eastern nations the US is friends with. Remember the US doesn’t act alone.
The title is a bit skewed, should of course be US defense for us who don't view the Pentagon building as representative of the whole DOD.

But the message, if true, is very poignant. I'm of course part of the choir as green liberal anti war but this affects us all.
Yes. Good music teacher will highlight passages to practice, rather than asking students to keep repeating the full length.
The problem is, in practice, the GPL doesn't assure as many rights to the user as it is claimed. The example of Android shows this clearly. While the base of Android is GPL and consequently freely available, nonetheless Google managed to mix it with enough proprietary parts, so that they could could block Huawai from selling their phones with Android. Of course, Huawai is able to build their own OS based on the open source parts of Android, but for all practical purposes it will be a separate OS.
Thing is that SA is incompetent. Really incompetent.

You can say many things about IRGC but they are not incompetent.

The only possible actors are..(without taking video into account). Iran, Israel(incredibly unlikely but they could do it and keep it secret for a while), Houthis(same thing as Iran really).

US is just incapable of an operation like this and keeping it secret.
That's what you claim, but I've no reason to believe it will stay that way, especially since the new maintainer wants to "rustify" it.

Because centralized databases are prone to manipulation and censorship?
Some major problems with the "let's all use Chromium" approach:

Google controls Chromium because they do the heavy lifting. All the companies that use Chromium are using it because they want Google to do the heavy lifting, so that isn't going to change, even if Google decides to put an open governance face on it, and there's no sign they're going to do even that. Should Google really be ceded complete power over the Web?

A single browser codebase hurts the maintainability of the Web platform. To the extent Chromium has a monopoly, Chromium bugs are the standard and sites will depend on them. Yes, this is already true to some extent, but it could get much worse. So fixing bugs would get harder.

A single codebase makes radical implementation experiments more difficult. Companies can patch Chromium but architectural divergence gets expensive fast. Say you want to rewrite the Chromium style system for parallelism with Rust, like Mozilla did with Firefox, and Google says no? Good luck maintaining that long-term. (A good example was how JSC vs V8 caused endless friction between Google and Apple in Webkit, leading up to the Blink fork.)

Another problem is that it would be very hard to block Web features that Google implements in Chromium. (P)NaCl/Pepper is a good example. "It's a ton of work to implement (especially if there's no spec)" is a helpful argument for not implementing a feature that's bad for the Web, both in public and to one's own product management. Hard to hold the line on something like PNaCl/Pepper or WebSQL if it's just a matter of flipping a configuration flag to increase Web compatibility. If the world was all-Chromium a few years ago there's no doubt we'd have PNaCl/Pepper instead of WebAssembly --- and we'd be stuck with the insane duplication of Pepper vs standard Web APIs, the bloat of LLVM everywhere, etc.
I changed the title, if the mods let it be. In the original story it was Pentagon and can confusing.

(Even if you filled the Pentagon with cows, I doubt it would surpass Sweden and Portugal's greenhouse gases :) )
If I'm going to use a 64 bit type for time I'd probably just use int64 microseconds, have over 250,000 years of uptime before overflowing, and not have to worry about the precision changing the longer the game is active.
Same - I moved to Safari when I got sick of Chrome making my MBP sound like a jet engine (and be almost as hot to the touch).

Then I got tired with certain sites not working properly and went back to Firefox - and it's plain to see they've done great things to the browser engine, it's fast, pretty lightweight on CPU and power usage and all of the problematic sites in Safari work fine.
Freud somewhere remarked that neurosis gives clues on mental functioning, which is certainly very clear in neurology (his first field). So lack of cognitive coherency in some disorders could be revealing.
We've at least seen some recent examples around browser vendors like Brave and Vivaldi deciding not to take some of Google's Chromium changes around browser extension handling [0].

So while this is not as compelling as a community controlled fork, it at least shows the alternative vendors are not willing to blindly swallow Google's changes.

The Logical Adventure of the Zoombinis and Reader Rabbit are so nostalgic parts of my childhood. I so vividly remember trying to teach myself boolean logic at age 7 or 8 because of the "boolies".
