I think you should reconsider, I use their products daily (terraform) and have absolutely no issues?
You do bring up a very valid point but I think that is true with anything that consumers buy like cars, or common household products when things just start to break or newer iterations of those products come out with better features.
What’s the difference between a troll and an NPE? I thought they meant the same thing, but that NPE was just the nicer term.

The word you're looking for is "subjectively". There are lots of aesthetic reasons to like the metric system but realistically the best one is the one you have internalized.

My grandfather voluntarily enlisted in the air force in WWII because he didn't want to get drafted as a front line soldier with a rifle. So voluntary enlistment doesn't always reflect agreement with the war, it can be a pragmatic decision.

Sadly, another item to add to the list of how the US is slowly crumbling.
I have said to people, a number of times, only half-joking, that the most complex maths I do during a typical day as a paid programmer, is adding 1 to a number.

I dropped maths in my last year of high school (halfway through calculus), not because I was failing it, but as a pragmatic choice, because it was my lowest grade, and because it was the subject that I enjoyed the least. Instead, I picked up advanced literature and history. I have never regretted this.

I then went straight on to Comp Sci at university, where I avoided all maths except for basic set theory and boolean algebra. After that, in the workforce as a dev (originally mainly PHP, now mainly Python).

I have never felt that my lack of maths background hindered me. On the other hand, I have very often felt that my communication skills (particularly my formal writing skills) have been above average for a dev, and have benefited me greatly.

I would like to learn more university-level maths, but I have neither a pressing urge nor a burning desire to do so. Programming, at least the kind that most devs do, on the whole has very little to do with maths. I don't regret not learning more maths in preparation for a career as a programmer, and I certainly don't regret learning lots of programming in preparation for a career as a programmer.
In the event that it's literally true, he pretty much has to get really mad about it. It'd explain a lot, and these things do happen when people are that ambitious and confronted with no-win situations.
In Japan you stay in the office all day and night, not because you're doing work but because everyone is too self-conscious to be the first to leave.

This is less true for the newer generation, especially since they don't have full time jobs in the first place.
Even as someone who did their undergrad in math, it's a bit tough to digest. I'd have to look up a lot of the terms again. It's been five years since I was in college. Shows how little I've used it all since I graduated.

It definitely looks more like, "math basics" for x field. Kinda like "automotive basics" for Honda or Ford vehicles. Where it's presumed that you know a lot of automotive lingo to begin with and you just need to know what spark plugs go with what engine. And not, "what is a spark plug?"
If they were made in China before the patent was filed, I think that would be prior art, meaning the patent is invalid.
When you say you can't keep a job, why do you think that?

One thing I learned from my experiences is "to be the change I hope to see in the world."

In my case, I could have made my life about revenge, but I chose to move on. When the bullying, stalking and pscyhopathy followed me, one of my coping mechanisms was to start complaining about the world. After all, my world really was crazy.

I see you doing this in your post. And I'm sorry if that sounds condescending, but I don't intend it to--I do the same thing. So it may be possible that you should seek the ideals and virtues which you desire in the world as goals within yourself. If you're not dealing with a kind of extreme bullying, I think you should have a chance to thrive if you can find a lucky break getting someone to take another chance on you. An engineering degree from a top school is a marketable asset.

I haven't tried finding a job for years now. I got overwhelmed with all these attacks that were happening to me, what to do about it, and have frankly had some PTSD about it. So maybe I'm speaking from ignorance about finding someone to give you another chance. Especially back in America... I suppose it is hard to build momentum again.

This is how devices stay vulnerable.

As opposed to most Android phones that never get system updates? As opposed to Apple releasing an update two weeks ago for all iOS devices back to 2011?

The whole app is already updated atomically. There is no benefit here.

The Safari app is also used as an out of process web view for other apps as is the messenger app...

The same as a Pixel or Android One device. The only difference is that app security updates are artificially slower on iOS due to poor design, and for apps like browsers, this is a fatal flaw.

It’s estimated that Google may sell 1-2 million phones a year and Android One phones are not much more ubiquitous. Even then Google only promises updates for two years.
Do you have any specific examples of what you mean?

Because being angry that Cardi B is still welcome among the Hollywood and Washington elite after admitting to drugging and robbing people (men, specifically) doesn't seem crazy at all.

Nor does concern for child grooms (boys forced into marriage at 12 years old).

Or a divorced father upset that his children are being taken away by the mother in violation of the custody agreement.

(Those are the top posts of r/mensrights right now.)
This is cool. I wonder how outline.com manages to get past the sign-up wall.
You can logically argue the ridiculousness, but the law doesn't care... since courts have sided with TOS restraints, they absolutely can enforce it.

Also, they aren't 'forcing' you to accept their TOS. You are free to stop requesting from their site.
What author misses is that multi-repo is also not dumbass proof. Our team of about 60 people owned about 5-6 git repos that compiled into one SO. Every simple bug fix required multiple diffs to multiple repos.

The real argument that the author is making is that worse is better. Monorepo requires good tooling and a disciplined team. Multi-repo is worse but it is easier to manage when dealing with inexperienced programmers who want to have their own repo for their shiny little microservice.

IMO, the difference is that multi-repo has limitations and mono-repo has challenges.
You will never get atomic commits and precise versioning in multi-repo.
With mono-repo, there are a lot of challenges that can be solved with good engineering.
My job is remote and I choose to live in Los Angeles, CA. This is the same city as when I worked in an office, and with family, friends, my wife's job, and my daughter's school and friends it would be hard to leave. The weather, diverse population, entertainment, and the beach are huge draws as well.
How so?

Having used both of them, I'd profoundly disagree with you on that statement. I consider CarPlay a much more elegant solution than Android Auto. Particularly that android auto will change settings on your head unit. The early versions of it also completely disabled your phone screen.

ACAB isn't exactly news at this point
If those were the only two options, sure, NYT wins. But there are plenty of free options better than Breitbart. BBC News, NPR, and The Guardian are all decent, on par with NYT in my opinion. For local news, I've mostly found small sites that follow specific local issues to be better than the newspapers, e.g. in Houston the best weather news is Space City Weather [1], and in DC the best source for transit/urbanist news is Greater Greater Washington [2]. There are pretty good smaller news sites and blogs for specific issues too, e.g. I read SCOTUSblog for Supreme Court news, and FiveThirtyEight for stats-oriented sports and US politics coverage. For "ongoing" world-news events, I usually just read what Wikipedia has synthesized. None of these have paywalls, though some do ask for donations.

(I do subscribe to a few magazines though, just not newspapers.)

> The guy is making money and the musical work has some part to play in that

I understand that a lawyer for the music owner could conceivably argue that claim, and that a court could conceivably agree with it. I'm sure everyone in the thread agrees on that.

What I'm questioning is your presenting "he made money from the music" as a clear fact, and not something a court would decide - suggesting that the presence of audible music necessarily guarantees that theft has taken place, no matter how strong the arguments to the contrary. It's hard to believe the law on this famously contentious topic would be that simplistic.
I know we're only supposed to use up votes here and never use comments just for praise but if you built this by yourself you deserve far more credit than a simple upvote of karma. Way to go.
That is actually one of the advantages of the BSDs. Kernel and base system are in one repo and released together.
It simplifies development and testing. and an easier upgrade for end-users.
Here's a hypothetical scenario:

You've just made a container image that does something cool, and have published it on your site, which is running on the cheapest Amazon Lightsail plan (in Ohio). The final container image is 50 MB in size.

(Yes, it's weird that you wouldn't publish it to Docker Hub or the like. Suspension of disbelief, please…)

A grad student somewhere decides they like your container. They write a script that downloads your container to $TMP, and runs it with their input. Over a week, the student runs their job 50,000 times.

(Running a compute job 50,000 times is not unusual in HPC. Each run has a different input, and since your cluster would have a job scheduler, breaking up the work helps make better use of the cluster.)

Because the student downloaded the container to $TMP, a new download has to happen each time the job is run. 50,000 downloads of a 50 MB container is 2.5 TB.

(The docs say TB and GB, so I'm assuming base-10 instead of base-2 here.)

Your lightsail plan is $3.50 per month, and includes 1 TB of transfer. You will have at least 1.5 TB of extra transfer this month. At 9¢ per GB, 1500 GB of extra transfer is $135.

Please do not dismiss this out-of-hand. The scenario may seem a bit contrived, but unexpected bandwidth charges do hit people, and can make you really question your dedication, when having to pay for the access by people you don't know.
There was no iPhone until there was, no iPad until there was - I don't see the big deal here.

I don’t know that most people would use this, but there’s a definite benefit that a VR headset can give you a grid of six 40” monitors for $400. Or whatever display setup you want. It’s an economical way to get a lot of real estate.

The resolution kills that notion for now, but someday it might become a cost effective setup.

Add a pair of noise canceling headphones and you can pretend your tiny desk is a private office! It even has imaginary walls to hang things on!
They could crack down on the touts fronting tourist scams in areas like Shinjuku? I'm sure there's a lot of less visible crime that occurs (in all cities around the world, not just in Japan), but it's harder to solve so it gets overlooked for easier, more straightforward crimes that return a better bang-for-buck.
That's a much better way to phrase this idea, thank you.
Uh huh. A former employee claims that the goal as of February was 200/wk by end of year, but a tweet by the CEO in July states publicly the goal is 1000/wk by end of year. I have no reason to trust a former employee over the CEO.

Regardless of which one is correct, the fact remains that they are scaling up a new technology. Both 200 and 1000 are ambitious goals, and both contradict your implication that the solar department is "a shell of its former self". It has dramatically shifted directions (from market standard solar panels on roof, to integrated solar roof tiles).
Where do you work? :)
That's the job of a social worker, a different kind of government employee.
It depends.

I spent a few years in Tokyo. Work hours were long, but there was strong morale and espirit de corps among my team. As a young person, it was bearable.

In Silicon Valley, hours were also long, but with none of the pride or loyalty I saw in Japan. For example, a manager would dump a huge task on my lap at 4:00pm, expect it done by the next morning, and then promptly leave me for the day. Eventually I learned how to defend my time, but I was a sucker for longer than I'd like to admit.

I'm in Sacramento now, and the vibe is different. The machine doesn't love me, but expectations are reasonable. Life is pretty great outside the office.

So it all depends on location, workplace, etc. The same is probably true in Japan.

For what it's worth, I have a Japanese spouse, and we could easily choose to live in either country. We choose the US for a variety of reasons. It's not an easy decision though, because Japan is a very nice country in a lot of ways.
Though Stylish was compromised, you can safely use the fork Stylus that was created in response: https://github.com/openstyles/stylus

I use Stylus to add custom CSS to sites and Violentmonkey (https://violentmonkey.github.io/) to add custom JS. They both make it fairly easy to start writing code for a new site. However, there is no easy way to set up both custom CSS and custom JS for a single site – a custom browser extension like you made could potentially support that better.
The Bayh-Dole act certainly has screwed things up in the academy though.
Great article. What are the design decisions that affect the amount of flicker? Is it solely based on electronically smoothing out the input voltage, or are there other factors? For example, are there phosphors that are better at smoothing the white light even if the blue is modulated?
Have you done a lot of VR gaming? My eyes are killing me after an hour. I can't imagine doing 8 hours a day. Not saying this everyone's experience, and I'm curious if others are more tolerant of spending long periods of time in VR.
Great job! Congratulations and best wishes.
Good stuff.

Ultimate stake is that the employees are also the owners themselves.
I was in the same position and did some research to get better and I seriously recommend starting with Gelfand's book on Algebra (and another Gelfand book on Trigonometry. These are educational books developed by one of the best Soviet mathematicians translated perfectly to english. It starts with the absolute fundamentals of Math, but asks such critical questions that you develop a much more nuanced understanding of maths you thought you already understood.

From there I plan to slowly make my way through the entire Gelfand library and Spivaks Calculus. Maybe down the road Category Theory and Engineering Maths, or Physics.

There are so many amazing resources online that I don't see any reason why a motivated learner with spare time can't achieve an education on par or better than a University undergrad.

There's a huge difference between biased or inaccurate coverage and flat out made up stories. The NYT publishes very few of the latter. Fake news sites publish 100% of the latter. That's a pretty significant difference.

This comment just gave me hope for humanity :)
Warheads on the DF-21/26 aren't the same size as the missile diameter, especially if they're using MARV. So sensor size will drop. And the missiles won't have that much maneuverability.

Plus you're forgetting about SM6. This will eat these for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Assuming that the DF21 can even burn through the ECM that will be blasting it.

And it'll take more than one direct hit to kill a CVN. An 1100lb warhead will be similar in effect to a Harpoon. You might get lucky and have a mission kill, but if you fire 200+ missiles at a CVN you better kill it.

And if we go to war with the PRC, we won't be using one CVN. We'll be surging 2-3 CVBGs, and they'll run out of missiles. I also think that it's more likely that the PRC will be using nuclear warheads on the DF-26 in a purely defensive posture. The idea of them using as conventional weapons is too risky.
I wish all religions would do cool stuff like that.

Already happens. Many private “public” spaces like malls or housing developments are governed by a code of conduct that you are subject to by being present.

The easy example are teen curfews at malls. If you look under 18, you consent to providing proof of age to enter certain areas of the mall, and cannot do so without an adult over a certain age.
Well, yes, of course I have not done a rigorous scientific analysis. But I can tell you from repeated experiences that if I say anything a bit critical of Europe or Europeans then I will get downvoted heavily in the wee hours of the day, and almost always will make that up and then some about midday (Pacific time). On the other hand, if I say something critical of Google then in the wee hours it'll usually get a bunch of upvotes, and then lose them all about midday.

No science here, absolutely, but I have had great success so far predicting in advance what the voting pattern is going to be on a comment I make. I treat it a bit like a sport.

Your honour, I did not sign this contract. My pen signed it – I merely held the pen.
“Math Basics” is quite the misnomer—it gives the impression that one would need to study all of the contents of this book to be an effective practitioner in CS or ML. Memorizing every definition and theorem in this book would be neither necessary nor sufficient for that purpose.

Keep in mind it can take an hour, and sometimes way more, to really absorb a single page of a math book like this (do the math). This is more of a reference text.
The original search engines (like Yahoo) requires users to submit their websites. It worked well enough.

It seems like the biggest step forward that scraping/crawling could take is to get some relevant legal precedent -- is it possible to manufacture/make a case that could finally set the legal precedence for this?

For example on the issue of insta-agree TOS's that you are in no way forced to read ("by being on this website you agree to our TOS" BS), is it possible to make cases to establish precedence from that? Let's say I set up a site where the TOS says everyone that views the site agrees to give me $5 and I sue someone -- clearly that wouldn't hold up in court (gulp, hopefully) -- and having it struck down would help clear up this gray area...

They wrap around your hand, so you can type (ish) and not take them off.

I'd think it would be fantastic to physically walk around to different monitor/window/server setups (in VR), though, and that'd require dragging around a rolling standup desk, or figuring out how to type based on finger positions from the controllers (which I'd imagine would be decidedly not great).
