I work for a company in a similar situation, and I agree.

The author wants us to look at things from the customer's perspective. The thing is, we (and presumably all major cloud providers) do. Every feature released, every API call, has a canary associated with it that does nothing but pretend to be a customer using that feature. There are definitely cases that slip through the cracks that shouldn't have (we forgot to properly test for a certain condition or combination use case etc) but the vast majority of the time a customer experiences an outage it's because of something the customer did.

That's not to excuse the 5 9 guarantee that inspires fake confidence. But we're always upfront with customers that there's a shared responsibility for availability: it's our responsible to make sure what customers pay for works, but it's also a customer's responsibility that there's enough redundancy in their architecture for their use case.

Pytorch-Transformers: An Updated PyTorch Library for NLP
I was under the impression that your fact of biology was false.

Specifically that the brain-muscle mapping isn't preprogrammed and the brain learns to control what is there.

For example people with fully formed extra digits can just have a fully functional extra finger.

This does get baked in pretty well but the adult brain can re-learn after a catastrophic injury so it's not hard to believe you could figure out how to add virtual appendages or entirely novel "extremities".
Something can be harmful at the extremes while being beneficial on average. Actually, almost everything we do falls into this category. I don't find it at all obvious that video games have been a net harm to humanity even if we restrict to physical health.
No, because a random guy who encourages eating human flesh is an absurdity - never mind that, even if presented with evidence that it did make children grow strong, there are plenty of other reasons to oppose it. Moderating screen time for children is not like this. What I'm talking about is noticing patterns, and positing a hypothesis based on the behavior of those who would be closer to full knowledge of the instrument in question. That seems ... perfectly reasonable.
A case could be made that the syntax is somewhat nicer but you're paying for that by losing proper scoping and typing without typed exceptions.

With the amount of boilerplate in go that is simply about bubbling up error codes, it really doesn't seem that much cleaner than Java exceptions. An if block just as many lines as a catch block but again, you lose the typing.

And the more I think about it, the more I think well written Java is cleaner than well written go simply because the throws keyword leads to strictly less boilerplate. I feel like this stigma is simply about how much bad Java exists (and there's a lot). I can't help but feel like a WebSphere written in Go would be just as ugly as its current Java incarnation.
That's like saying a lions chance against humans is the big teeth. It's dangerous in a particular context, sure, but misses the fundamental assymmetry that took humans from scared or lions to existential threat to lions.
The work that Matt does seems quite impactful, however: http://matt.might.net/articles/tenure/
I write software as both a career and also a hobby. I’ve been doing this for many years and I still love it.

My advice to you is to go for it.

About your RSI — I have suffered with this for many years. I found that switching my keyboard to a new one would bring instant relief. The only problem is that the new keyboards were lasting me shorter and shorter times. I remember I was getting down to switching my keyboard every 11-13 days!

And then I found a permanent solution. I now go for a massage every 3-4 weeks with the focus being on my arms, neck, hands. Since I started this, I haven’t replaced my keyboard in 2 years!

This actually ends up increasing your likelihood of failure, as smaller parallel lines mean higher operational costs for smart pigs and other integrity assessment tools making internal issues harder to detect before failure, and increased risk for external failure due to cathodic protection system failures due to interference and shielding.
Don't you think estimation is a management job? What if Engineer decides to over estimate and enjoy the freetime?
>Radio simply cannot give you cancer. It's been proven. We understand the physics. It's been tested to death.

Actually, high exposure to radio sources (2G and 3G) have recently been found to cause cancer in male rats. It's unclear yet whether this effect carries over to humans.

Not a downvoted, but tempted.

The question ‘fastest at what’ is right there in the original quote - processing. Assembly isn’t commonly considered a ‘processing language’ and in the context processing is a term of art for the kind of batch processing tasks cobol was designed for.

Even that aside, we all ‘know’ assembly is the fastest. It’s a given. Nitpicking comments like that betrays a hostile attitude and lack of generosity of spirit. We shouldn’t have to post pages if caveats and justifications and hedging for a comment like that.

Attacks like this come across as intellectual grandstanding and aren’t actually contributing anything of value.
Turns out that if one wants something from people, one shouldn't start the first interaction by calling them "grossly incompetent"...
There's a lot of crackpot theories about stonehenge too and you don't get much more pasty white than the people there. I'm sure there'd be more if there were more more big monuments in Europe.

As for "brown people", depending on who and when you ask those people can be considered "white people", North African and the Middle east have usually been considered Caucasian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_race), historically Mediterranean is a better designation for different cultures than European/African/Black/White/etc. Even today East Asians and North Americans will be considered "white people", depending on who has a bone to pick with who.

They are quite openly racist against the reptilian species secretly running the world however. Often very anti-semetic too.
> There's no moral reason

Of course there is a moral reason. There are moral reasons we can come up with for every possible human action, because morals are subjective. Thus, the statement "There's no moral reason" is always false. The opposite is meaningless (in the same way that saying "water is wet" would be meaningless).
It's self-modifying code, which is not the same thing as metaprogramming, which utilizes unexpanded expressions (often macros) which then get expanded in the final evaluation.
If you want what'll work, then it's time to get serious about biofuels and their storage.

The best buffered conversion of starlight into mechanical drive, that I know of (and by a long shot), is through combustion of high quality biodiesel, (ie via hemp, soy, or jatropha seeds pressed for extraction (also as blends).

In the future, we can even switch to the prime movers of photosynthesis, algae and cyanobacteria for even more dense bioreactors than the beautiful, wide open fields of life-giving plants.

Oil, as a mechano-electric energy storage, is very cost-effective, and storing it works:

This is untrue. GP has problems and challenges, using RNGs for search is not a central issue in the field.
Also birthright citizenship is a result of the 14th amendment. Which is a fundamental protection against arbitrary interference by the government in the lives of its people. This is not something that should be lightly "fixed".
In the history of CES, spanning across decades, the number of male booth babes (guys wearing sexually revealing outfits like open vests and speedos or short shorts) would be in the low double digits. Usually, the use of booth dudes is a deliberate PR stunt because they're so rare.

The number of female booth babes was in the hundreds each year.
Nope. Most people wouldn't do that actually. The quotes were a tiny part of a conference call with wall street suits regarding Teslas 2017 fourth-quarter earnings. The topic was finance, not a lecture on lean manufacturing. Your demands do not make much sense to be honest. A CEOs job is to run the company and take advise and input from other subject matter experts. It seems like you genuinely are curious about this, so I'd advise you to speak with experts on this topic to learn more.
Indeed. I don't click videos in public when browsing on my phone because I hate hearing random videos from others. Text should always accompany videos.
I don't know who would be better to judge the benefits of eating human flesh than a canibal. It's not reasonable at all to say that you'll accept anecdata from tech Bros seeking attention.
In the fifth paragraph, "No longer does the company rely on a network perimeter, but rather exposes internal systems to the public internet.". This is terribly misleading!

Zero trust model is often explained incorrectly and misunderstood as allowing internal services like OpenSSH directly exposed to public all the time. In actual, it also works similar to VPN having perimeter security but in a dynamic way. There should be a proxy separate from actual service for authentication and only authentication service is exposed to public traffic all time, while internal resource only accepts inbound traffic from IP address of user who has authenticated successfully and this is orchestrated in real-time by the authentication service. The traffic from same user to internal service is also denied the moment they log off, think of it like a dynamic iptables system. Another emphasis of zero trust model is to authenticate requests even when it's coming from the same internal subnet. Too many articles are misleading people that zero trust model is to take away perimeter security entirely.

Note: Exposing any internal services like SSH, message queues or databases directly to public is not the right approach, because they can get compromised when there's any RCE vulnerability.
Much of the GP community already open sources code and data. I wouldn’t say the ML community is better.
Are you sure you're not just looking for a rationalization saying that you can live any way you want and still be "happy"?

Of course I'm not ruling out that this is possible. An obese smoker might live to 101 and laugh about it. An athlete might die of Leukemia at age 21. Life is uncertain, you can make of the odds whatever you want.

On the other hand:

Obesity is associated with lower self-reported happiness

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24336235

Physical activity helps depression:

https://www.bmj.com/content/361/bmj.k1808

You also need to count in all the ailments that can result from obesity and lack of exercise, none of which are going to contribute positively to one's level of well-being. Of course it's not all about the length of a life, but the things that cut lives short tend to be quite unpleasant.
Don't fuck around with your RSI. Get a proper adjustable desk / chair / ergo everything (I like the Rollermouse Red / Kinesis Advantage 2 but you need to find what works for you). See the doc. Go to massage/chiropractor/PT/acupuncture/whatever works for you. Do not work through pain. That should be your number one priority. If you fuck around it's a good possibility you won't be working or having as a hobby anything to do with computers. That's no exaggeration. For a long time I had to stop all non-work computing and cut down severely on work computing. I have optimized the hell out of my workflow. If you're a native English speaker, you may be able to use voice to code, but I wouldn't count on it (I have an accent, so voice recognition is useless). As far as whether you can do both work and hobby coding without losing passion for your coding hobby, that really depends on you. I can't really. Nothing to do with RSI. That's just the nature of work. For me. Others happily do it. That's a question only you can answer and likely only after trying. Good luck. And don't fuck around w/ your RSI if you care about future computing.
It's possible they are marshalling their thoughts. They haven't yet got them ready when you start speaking, but they go with whatever they've got before they lose it.

You could try an experiment one time, of waiting them out - like for 1 minute (an incredibly long silence, but a cheap experiment) - and discover what they do.
Water, specifically, stops mm wave signals. While it can't get through a wet piece of paper, it will go through a dry one just fine.
Webhosters are providing the same service with standardized configs, and no option to diverge from it, to thousands of users. Economies of scale.

Serious question, why is it bad that it's Nestle?
It would have read that way if the author list had simply said 'Neuralink'. He is definitely positioning himself as the leader here.
My last job before Google was working as a security consultant to SMEs. My experience working intimately with some 400+ such companies was that of businesses with less than 40 programmers, around one in 10 companies had one developer who could build something durable and follow "industry standard" precautions and practices. All the others had zero. At Google nearly 100% of developers are of that same quality which was exceptionally rare in industry at large.
I'd never heard of him before today either.

He wrote a book called the 4 hour work week that claims he makes 40k/month by only working 4 hours a week. The amazon reviews are a mix of creepy 5 star reviews by pod people and 20% 1 & 2 star reviews mocking it. The comments on his podcast (on castbox 200k subscribers) are similar with lots of whining about the length of the adverts and how boring the show is.

After a bit more looking... absolutely fascinating. Obviously he's a complete con-artist and he works like a dog but his marketing ability is psychopathic genius.
COBOL programs reside on mainframe computers, an environment that's entirely alien to someone who's used to UNIX-like environments where you have something like a pipe.

I'm not sure how and on which machines COBOL code is written and compiled these days but I reckon that piping it to grep, or similar tools, might simply not be an option on those machines.
You are hardly managing memory in rust...reference allocation is practically garbage collection and feels as such in rust.

They mention this in the video, they are solving it by making the implants extremely small and having similar material properties to the brain.
I think for the Americans, contributing data feels too much like work which would violate their idea of letting the free market do its thing. Where would the world go if people just did things for free? Same as with self check-outs, you ain't gonna do that work yourself if you're not getting a discount!
Of course. EU citizens, on average, have very little information about what's happening in the eastern parts of Europe, no matter the subject, and since many people dis-trust mainstream media nowadays it's easy to spread one's own narrative and use that for one's own purposes, while ignoring the fact that such expressive freedom wouldn't be possible without the system that one is critizizing.
In fact no need of `: echo '' |` here. Only `: |` is enough.
Actually it's very insightful since there are a lot of people who believe that a modern compiler can beat hand-written assembler code. Raising awareness about assembler and how the machine actually works equates to better working conditions for everyone, as we'll have more competent and knowledgeable colleagues then.
You're right they're just reporting their findings, and their stated methodology is to look through the top N words and pick the one they like best. They dug all the way down to the 39th word to find asian:engineer => black:? "killer", when the actual top two associations were "operator" and "jockey" (which also indicate bias, but not the kind the authors wanted). They dug to the 53rd word to find christian:conservative => muslim:? "regressive", when top results were "moderate" and "conservative. It may not be fraudulent, but the methodology is highly motivated, subjective, and introduces more bias than it purports to find.
Kinda wish they had gone with F#. Would've been less work for them to write nice functional wrappers around existing .NET libraries.

Of course, you can't get funding for something that unambitious, so I understand the tack. Still...

I look forward to trying this out once more significant work has been done. I'm a big fan of OCaml-like languages, if that wasn't already obvious.

The dependency-hell of node projects is in no way whatsoever related to sensible, accepted programming paradigms like generics. Their absence from Go is a widely accepted shortcoming of the language. It doesn't make Go a bad language, and it doesn't reflect on you or anyone in the Go community who enjoy using the language, but you don't have to try so hard to rationalise their absence, especially since they're one of the more prominent things in the Go 2 drafts.
AR/VR early stage valuations soften, leading to investment
Correct, screenshots are a viable attack against both closed and open source platforms. Preventing casual retention is the best you can hope for, and is a worthy goal regardless that it does not result in the perfection of a Faraday cage’d clean room
I spent a few years in Michigan, and was all but told this. In one conversation that stuck with me, a chap was on one of his frequent rants about "them", and I felt compelled that he was ranting about immigrants, to an immigrant. His responses included "you know what I mean", and "at least you bothered to learn the language".

As an Englishman, "at least you bothered to learn the language" tickled me pink; but "you know what I mean" really stood out to me. Yes, we do know exactly what they mean, but they'll entirely deny meaning it.

I realise the plural of anecdote isn't data, but there's certainly at least "some" people who feel that white immigrants are acceptable immigrants. This was during the late-bush/early-obama period, so I'm poorly placed to judge whether the scale of this has changed.
Incorrect. Audio messages are deleted two minutes after playback by default.
Except that Neuralink clearly stated that they have ambitions for all of this, which is unusual for a company developing a medical device.

Also, wouldn’t the stim abilities count as a feedback mechanism?
The only 'values' companies have is to make money. I am surprised people actually believe all those "Mission, vision, values and objectives" statements of big corporations.
Yes, we support all types of joins (inner, right included) and indexes. In fact, we recently also enabled stored procedures with plpgsql :)

Tuning to perform these efficiently in a distributed manner is a work in progress (this is wrt the time complexity question). The hints used by a traditional RDBMS would not be effective in the distributed case - optimizing this requires changing the optimizer and doing more "push-downs" to optimize the queries. Currently, depending on the query, these may or may not be fully optimized - but we hope to have good coverage soon!
I've started seeing retail packaging that is basically just a full-color paper/cardboard sleeve over what I assume is the eCommerce packaging
Concise and implicit are kind of different axes. For example, Python's "x += 1" is more concise than AppleScript's "set variable x to x + 1.", but the exact behavior of the statement is just as clear from reading it, so it is no less explicit.

In this case, I don't think anyone is arguing that error handling should be implicit. They're saying there should be an explicit way of saying "handle this error in the common way." This actually makes the distinction between common and uncommon cases more explicit, because their differences aren't buried in boilerplate.
Yup, probably delicatessen stores which is entirely different purpose and segment.
Any sysadmin can read your email, in general. There's no holistic "this email can't be read by anyone other than the recipient" as a solution, which is what a lot of us are aiming for. Things like protonmail and tutanota get really close, but they're proprietary solutions and don't work for "the many" (such as yourself) who use a hosted solution such as Gmail, who seem to have no interest in providing an open solution.

FWIW Tibetan Buddhism has concentration exercises revolving around visualisation that might help develop this ability. Not sure if it would work for 'true' aphantasia.
How often are they queried, and what percentage of the payment is the punishment?

A bad host could only store, say, 1/3 of the data that they say they are, and play the odds that they are storing the requested random chunk.

Maybe that is why Slack has become so popular.

Also, do people just ignore your input, or do they feel they alrrady understood what you are trying to say? When I interrupt people, it is usually because I think I alrrady know what they want to say.

Maybe people in SV are just faster than average? Like the joke in Microserfs where the nerds watched video with subtitles in fast forward.

For ecample I also watch courses on Coursera on double speed, normal speed feels agoizing to me.

So perhaps talking double speed could also help?

I think it is also rude to expect people to listen for too long.
