A psychologist tried to put an Autism diagnosis on me as well, yet I am extremely good at reading people. So I believe that Autism as diagnosed is not just a spectrum, but a normal distribution where both tail ends are bad. A person who can't read others feelings will obviously not be good at dealing with others. However a person who has too much empathy won't be able to properly cope with the pain from social situations and will therefore spend most of their energy trying to keep the empathy in check. This results in similar problems and even "Meltdowns" when they fail to cope.

Both sides get the same autism diagnosis since both of them are better at dealing with things than people, but they are completely different. For me I felt the diagnosis would hurt more than help since it didn't properly describe me, so I asked for a proper test and alternatives. I got ADD and social phobia, there were no signs of proper autism but I could have gotten a diagnosis from the original psychologists hunch.
Arguably ~1930 - 1980.

A sea change began with Walter Lippmann's Public Opinion, seen as birthing modern, generally impartial, journalism. Not absolutely, but relative to earlier periods, quite.

Ironically, widespread national advertising assisted in much of. this, at least for stories not adversely concerning national advertisers. But local squelching of critical news was limited, and occasional nationally critical stories could appear. Watergate was arguably the high-water mark. Corporate ownership massively diluted effectiveness, especially after 1980, though exceptions remain.

Bookending Orwell and Lippmann, I'd suggest I.F. Stone (who calls the 1970s as a high-water mark) and Hamilton Holt's Commercialism and Journalism (1909).

in C, it items[0] could segfault, the fault could be caught by a signal handler which does some unbounded amount of work, then populates the appropriate memory location and returns...

More realistically, the page of memory that items[0] is sitting on could be swapped to disk, requiring the OS to do some big operation.

The killer features of iterm for me are three:

1. Built in password manager (command-alt-f) for the Times you’re stuck with ssh passwords

2. Output triggers: iterm can run actions in response to certain text on stdout: I use this to insert a mark at each terminal prompt line and when the phrase “NOTICE ME:” is detected. This way, I can use iterm’s mark navigation features to quickly jump to interesting lines

3. Finally, the biggest advantage of iterm is its ability to auto detect soft boundaries like vim vertical splits and restrict selection to one side or the other of the split.
I get the sentiment but come on. I seriously doubt you cannot even implement a binary search right now.

Hi, I'm David, I worked for 4 years in an industrial environment, customer and product driven dealing with mobile robotics, robotic arms, embedded controllers and IIoT. I did many POC for different projects involving software development, devops (greenfield projects) and QA (requirement management, test infrastructure and tests development). I Worked also as a freelancer for more than a year on devops and embedded remotely.
The field where all of my knowledge is is IoT/IIoT but other fields have my interest. I learn fast and continuously do. If you believe there's a match in what we do, mail me or add me on LinkedIn for future work together.

It is a little buried in there, but it is worth noting that the cut in funding is going to have a major impact on some important climate change research groups and facilities.

It should not be a surprise that the governor who scrapped the funding is a Republican. This isn't just a part of an anti-government or even anti-education strategy, it is a part of the war on science (specifically regarding climate change).

This. A million times this. All possible arguments for price discovery are totally invalidated by regular market closures.

Conversely, if sub-second resolution is somehow "a good", then by extension sub-millisecond price discovery is "even better". There are some insane people that state this kind of gibberish with a straight face.

If millisecond are good, then surely microseconds are even better! Next... nanosecond resolution price discovery for the uuuuuultimate liquidity.

So, the upshot of the article is that @ .8 mm/year (if it keeps going at this rate), we'll see a 80 mm ocean level rise in 100 years. What does this mean in terms of the tidal variations that we currently see around the world? Considering that these variations are essentially cyclic with the moon's rotation around the earth. So in some places the avriations are essentially 0, whereas the extremes are around 16 metres and most places that I have seen, appear be in the range of 1 to 5 metres.

I would expect that the major effect, if it is actually observable, will occur in the equatorial regions of the planet. How much will be seen in the temperate regions? Is it possible that the further north or south you go from the equator that we might see a fall in ocean levels due to the movement of water towards the equator?

Should be interesting to create a world model based on what we do see in the tidal variations and orbital effects.

You missed the point. Modern infrastructure's scalability is irrelevant if even one user's experience is poor.

All to increase the yearly state handout to Alaskans and yet folks decry socialism ... how ironic.
I’ve met some people with this mentality, and it’s really kind of heartbreaking, because it’s never too late, especially not at 35. Most people who are 35 haven’t even lived half their life, in some countries you’re only half-way to retirement age. I think ageism is a growing problem though, and I’m not sure why. This is anecdotal, but I’ve been the examiner for a quite a lot of young CS students and it’s extremely rare to meet one who isn’t at least five years from being truly useful. It happens of course, but in general, I would much rather hire someone older and more experienced. Yet there is this idea that young developers are better, not every where, but a lot of places. One of the major IT companies in Denmark (KMD) was recently caught having a hiring practice of only hiring people below 36. It’s illegal, but what’s really interesting is that they’ve done this for a decade, and they’re now one of the most struggling major IT companies with heaps of scandals, dataleaks and delays. I know you can’t rightly blame that on their practice of hiring young people, it could be happening for lots of reasons, and their management is probably questionable considering how their hiring practices break the law. Hiring young didn’t help them avoid their troubles though.

To get back on track though, I’ve know people who switched careers as they got older and excelled where they ended up. My mother in law got her PHD after 55, and is currently using it vividly to influence and teach around the country. She was a high-school teacher for 20 years before she got into research. If you look beyond anecdotes though, research has shown that the most successful company founders are 40-49[1]. I’m sure a lot of those people have been trying since they were in their 20ies. As I’ve said I think experience is usually an advantage, but that doesn’t mean it’s a requirement. I don’t think it’s ever too late to go for it, I mean, you probably won’t win the Tour de France in your 50ies, but you don’t have to be successful. There are a few Danish authors who are successful that started late, that you’ve never heard of because they aren’t successful enough to make it on a list like this. They make a living doing what they love though.

Position is from now until March. Three days a week on my project gets you a free room and free food. Creating a Patreon meets Reddit kinda site. User pays $5/mo, we take $1 to run the servers without ads or tracking, then the remaining $4 gets split evenly between everything they upvoted that month. Philosophies I'm going into this with: Entirely open source, no ads ever, all analytics are purely opt-in.

It may be a sign of how early economics is as a science, and how much of it is simply wrong. Often physics and philosophy has moved forward by the resolution of a paradox, like Russell's and Zeno's. Behavioural economics resolves many classical economic paradoxes. Paradox indicates an oversimplified model.

Thank you! I shouldn't have put a number on it... the real story is that all that happened over 10 years. I really don't think it has to do anything with age, just consistent effort over time. I was being constantly told that I didn't have what it takes to be in any technical field when I finished university.
> Pretty much everything at sub-second resolution is pointless.

Should your credit card network only allow transactions once a minute? Price data comes from transactions (trades) as they occur. There’s more utility derived from a market where people can transact on demand.

> yet the largest markets in the world are closed 2/3rd of the day

Not correct. Equity markets are far from the largest in the world, yet it’s possible to trade 24 hours a day, 5 days a week (actually thanks to HFT). Currency markets operate around the clock. Rates markets operate ~22-23 hours a day, 5 days a week.

> The fact that most markets are closed on all weekends plus over 10 holidays per year

Markets exist for their participants. Corporations looking to hedge commodities exposure, trade currencies, manage interest rate risk, or buy/sell stock have employees who work during business hours. That doesn’t diminish the need for real-time pricing. And most holidays are domestic, so major markets still operate internationally.
A common query language, while appealing, is unlikely to fully abstract over different types of databases with different features and performance trade offs. It will be a leaky abstraction.

Oracle is a massive company in profits and market cap still.
I think maybe it's possible that given a very smart programmer with 1-5 years experience, the value of not having had time to learn the wrong way of doing things far outweighs the value of another 10 or 20 years experience. A lot of our 'best practices' seem curiously tailored toward keeping mediocre developers in check and producing consistent rather than extraordinary results.

Maybe our industry just grinds the greatness out of you by 25 or 30 unless you actively fight it.

I personally think they missed one big pain point of Go: the logging. The standard logging should be an interface for structured logs that can be implemented by various vendors instead of the current really basic logger. This is especially bad for third party libraries that either force you to use one logging library (logrus, zap, etc) or built their own custom interface which you then have to implement yourself for your logger.
That is something they should have stolen from Java...

I can understand why considering this to be a difference makes sense when you are considering it from the perspective of personal morality. However I'm coming to it more from the perspective of wanting to remove impediments to disabled people having equivalent access to able people. Now from that perspective it doesn't matter to the person with disabilities if the company is acting deliberately in a discriminatory fashion or they are doing it out of ignorance it still creates an impediment.

The thing is that most sources of impediments to disabled people come from people creating procedures, designs or structures and not considering that not everyone has the same abilities. There are few people who have malice against people with disabilities so having deliberate acts of discrimination be the threshold would not be effective in solving the problem.

I don't think we should even consider this from the perspective of morality or punishment. Corporations are amoral profit maximisers by their nature. When corporations don't create accessible sites what they save by not creating an accessible site is paid by the people with disabilities. The ability to sue over ADA violations is a way to capture this negative externality.
