> No more "models", ORMs / query builders, and crunching data in app code. Just build your schema, write plain sql queries, and you're off to the races.

I tend to do it the same way, but how do you deal with the lack of a query builder when you truly need to build a query on the fly? For example, what do you do when implementing a REST endpoint like GET /things where the user can give any number of 10 query parameters to filter the result?
I got a lot of flak here recently for suggesting that maybe security researchers shouldn't be publishing PoCs or deep vulnerability details literally 1 week after the vendor issues a patch.

Here's to hoping that, now that this happened, someone will give this idea another consideration...

(P.S. for those wondering: apparently this is CVE-2019-8605: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=18...)
Who would hold whom accountable?

A critical part of the factionalisation is that people will defend those "on their own side" no matter what they've done provided they maintain loyalty. In order to maintain their veneer of legitimacy they will go to any lengths to discredit the accusers. The peak of this may have been Alex Jones slandering the Sandy Hook victims, but I can quote an awful lot of examples.

The only way society can become less polarised is intra-faction accountability. Since that works against the desire to win over the other team, it's not going to happen by itself.
I have accepted the offer and starting soon. I dont want to back out because it will ruin my reputation.
Exactly - I have done a number of research studies focused on how musicians do or do not develop robust memory models of the pieces they learn, based on how they practice, and the data consistently pointed to a correlation between robustness and practice approach.

Anyone who has taught piano for example knows the most common mistake of novice students is to omit sharp or flat notes (the black notes) when learning notated music which begins to include them. In this case, the student will practice the wrong notes for long enough before their next lesson that the wrong notes become engrained in their memory model, resurfacing under duress such as in recital. There are similarities for other instruments (strings: intonation, woodwinds: embouchure, percussion: rhythmic accuracy, etc.)

The most talented students seem to gravitate consistently towards robust memory models for their respective instruments technique as a way of freeing themselves up as quickly as possible for the more enjoyable aspects of perfecting a piece of music: refining expression.

Perhaps one day there will be tools which can assist those less naturally predisposed to developing robust memory models, before it's too late for their brain, the way the most talented students do.
What always strikes me about these lists is that if I had these ideas (and I often do), I'd discard them out of hand as non-viable. Yet people behind these startups don't mind staking years of their life on what is essentially a lottery with rather poor odds, and find passion in doing things which, at best, would make me yawn. Maybe I'm just old, I don't know.

When you feel a "flu" coming on, a little bit of zinc sulfate on the tongue does wonders. I've wiped out a flu on more than one occasion. If that isn't enough and your adrenals are gone, or a virus has taken hold take licorice sticks for a couple of weeks until your adrenals recover and the virus has been destroyed, its a really good anti-viral but makes you go to the toilet really hard (remember to intake more potassium as licorice depletes this quicker)

And producing soy in Brazil has become even more profitable now that the US vs China trade war is in full swing and the Chinese have stopped purchasing US soy. There’s no easy solution for this in an world as inter-connected as ours, apart from breaking all said connections (for example the Chinese reverting to only eating things that they actually grow in their land, which will most probably create a mass famine or two) or somehow for us to consume a lot less things, which hasn’t been the case for at least 200 years (since the Industrial Revolution started).

2 methodological issues:

>> They interviewed three groups of 13 violinists [...] before having them complete daily diaries of their activities over a week.

You're basically priming interviewees, and without a control group, you're unable to partial out the variance due to "being interviewed". They need diaries from people who were interviewed _after_ taking diaries, and a group of people never interviewed.

>> [... ] complete daily diaries of their activities _over_a _week. While the less skilful violinists clocked up an average of about 6,000 hours of practice by the age of 20, there was little to separate the good from the best musicians, with each logging an average of about 11,000 hours

Extrapolation from a 1-week diary to your entire life until age 20?
Somewhere at 50 to 60% down in the article:

"There are a total of eight DDR4 memory controllers on this hub chip, the same number in total that were on the Naples complex; both support one DIMM per channel and have two channels per controller, but Rome memory runs slightly faster – 3.2 GHz versus 2.67 GHz – and therefore with all memory slots filled, yields a maximum of 410 GB/sec of peak memory bandwidth per socket. That’s 45 percent higher than the Cascade Lake Xeon SP processor, which has six memory controllers for a total of 282 GB/sec of memory bandwidth running at 2.93 GHz and 21 percent higher than the 340 GB/sec that Naples turns in running that 2.67 GHz DRAM. (Those are ratings for two-socket servers.)"

This sounds a lot like the infamous "Ghost Ship" warehouse in Oakland, CA.
I agree. But if the software is lacking essential features so that everybody patches them back in it's a very ineffective strategy because anybody's home-grown patches are worse than properly maintained features.

I can put a machine on the net with a closed port 25. That's the most minimal implementation of an MTA and it's entirely secure. Guaranteed.

The thing is that qmail was severely lacking features back in the 90ies and it has received zero feature additions by its original author since then, so it's safe to assume that it's now lacking even more features to the point where anybody running qmail these days is nearly guaranteed to be running franken-qmail full of third-party patches which are surely less well maintained than proper Postfix.

That was my point.
You are a victim of learned helplessness.

Throughout history men have taken up guns to do what they think is right. There is nothing stopping you and friends to begin a war against environmental destruction. They will call you eco-terrorists, like they called french revolutionaries murderers, like they called G Washington and his friends, gang rebels and bandits.

To get political is not enough, armed uprising war is just a political tool, but a highly effective one.
It just means you have a lot of 1s and 5s laying around as you usually want small denominations for tipping, which (in my opinion) is a lot of cash to have in the house. It also means that at some point, I'm walking away from the ATM with a few hundred dollars in my pocket, which is not something I like to do from a safety perspective.
Not saying I completely buy into it as an explanation for this specific case - but stress can compromise the immune system making it easier for infections to occur.

GObject is a ref-counted object system that is designed to make interop with all sorts of languages possible across FFI boundaries, including those with runtimes that include tracing GCs; such a thing is not built into C++.

If the GIMP authors would have used C++ in 1995 they would be stuck with a legacy codebase now that would be ridiculed because it's not "modern C++" - a term that has designated about 3 different programming styles during that time.

Even the Qt developers found that 1995 C++ was insufficient for a UI toolkit and augmented it with a custom "moc" pre-compiler and build tools.

An interesting offset for the latter is that you could develop your software on a high end system that matches the mobile architecture. Anyone who has has to fight with (/slow/) pure emulation of e.g. Android on ARM knows the pain this causes, multiplied by the thousands of developers. That's a lot of wasted man hours vs. the develop on same architecture model.
That makes lots of sense. Do you have any examples of sprouting plants that so this? I'm guessing ones we consider poisonous?
I am not praising Zhukov himself. The way he spent men to win Stalingrad is another questionable aspect of the character.
Also the early 1800s was an era of extensive European exploration and colonial interest in the region. By that time Britain dominated India and Russia was contending with them for Afghanistan in the 'Great Game'.

It's really not surprising to find people from the eastern Mediterranean anywhere in Asia over the last thousand years. We know there was a Nestorian Christian community in China in the 13th Century and several of them had diplomatic roles under the Khanate.

Read the report. There are no non-published assertions in it.

They're all either publicly available numbers, or an analysts opinions. It would be very hard to sue them.
There was a study, but it was't obvious if the SACD and DVD-Audio sources really did have 24-bits of audio, or if they were made from for-CD 16-bit digital captures of the original sources.

And even if they were clean 24-bit masters from an original recording, it's not obvious if the recording chain was 24-bit - a lot of early digital recordings were 16-bit - or if the analog masters were compressed and limited to the point where there was 24-bits of detail left.

This sounds ridiculous, but I know for a fact that some CDs in the 80s were recorded from vinyl records instead of being recorded and mastered from the original analog master tapes.

Generally getting hold of original master tapes can be a huge pain in the ass, so it's not unusual for record companies to take shortcuts - especially for relatively low-run formats like DVD-Audio.

The way to do this test is to record a clean acoustic performance through a top-quality microphone with no compression. If you can still hear no difference, then it's fair to say that 24-bit audio is pointless.

In fact it's complete normal to hear a difference on good studio monitors under those conditions.

Edit: the point being that audiophile audio is a thing. Even if only 10% of the population cares about it, that's still a perfectly valid reason for it to exist.

I’ve always felt that for many it’s a hedged situation, the ~75k+ salary, networking, and resume bullet points, represents similar or greater compensation than what they might make alternatively.

A C-level position at a YC startup will grant you a 100k+ salary at a YC company that did manage to make it to a series A afterwards even if your company didn’t make it that far.

It’s a self accommodating industry (IMO).
Can't we structure incentives to avoid that problem? Eg. If you audit a large corporation and expose major fraud you get a large bonus. If you audit a small business and find only only a minor infraction, then your bonus pool is reduced.

Right. For instance, the x86 architecture is published. If you try to build anything that can interpret it, you'll get sued by Intel or AMD (or both, if you really copied anything good).

What is less widely considered is that emulation is considered an implementation of a CPU. So e.g. research labs at universities have been told in no uncertain terms by CPU vendor legal notices to stop working on research that is emulating the x86 or ARM instruction sets. Now with the POWER ISA being open, everything about the ISA is fair game for research in emulation, soft cores, hardware, etc., which does put it in a space that only academic "toy" ISAs and RISC-V really sat in before.
Website authors opting in to letting another server serve content "as" their own domain isn't anything new: it's what CDNs do. The Signed Exchanges standard is actually a huge step up because the website authors get to cryptographically sign their content. With normal CDNs, if the CDN is malicious or gets hacked, the CDN is free to serve modified content on the original domain.
The whole article takes the principle of charity in inverse and goes on a rant. I like the idea behind FSF but becoming a troll is not going to help them get much credibility.

While arguments in the blogpost are mostly compelling (perhaps the most important to me is Jet/Turbo being far more high-contrast in the "colder" regions), I see Inferno as vastly superior still, mostly for the same reasons it was superior to Jet. All these colormaps are intended to represent one-dimensional gradient, as in "from hot to cold" and it is completely obvious when looking at Inferno. Jet & Turbo give a false impression of non-one-dimensionality. It might be a matter of being used to the colormap in question, but Jet is as old and common as it gets, and it still is not self-evident to me that the dark red is hotter than the very light yellow. I mean, obviously I know that, but I will tell you instantly without thinking what is the hottest and coldest regions on Inferno image, and I am significantly more likely to make a mistake when I'm tired with the Jet (and, presumably Turbo — for the same reasons).

Anecdotally, having met a few Brazilians who voted for him, the phrase "taking him seriously, not literally" does seem to apply as well.

Counting citations is a rubbish metric in general. It's supposed to be a proxy
for reserach quality but it's so easy to "game" (in the sense of optimising
for citation count, rather than research quality) that a high number of
citations doesn't mean anything.

Neither does a low number of citations. For example, my field is small and
kind of esoteric, so we don't get lots of citations either from the outside or
the inside (one of the most influential papers in the field has... 286
citations on Semantic Scholar; since 1995).

With a field as small as a couple hundred researchers it's also very easy to
give the appearance of a citation mill. Given that papers will focus on a very
specific subject in the purview of the field, it is inevitable that each
researcher who studies that specific subject will cite the same handful of
researchers' papers over and over again- and be herself cited by them, since
she's now publishing on the subject that interests them.

As to self-citations, like Ioannidis himself says there are legitimate
reasons, for instance, a PhD student publishing with her thesis advisor as a
co-author. The student will most probably be working on subjects that the
advisor has already published on and in fact will most likely be extending the
advisor's prior work. So the advisor's prior work will be cited in the
student's papers.

So I'm really not sure what we're learning in the general case by counting
citations, other than that a certain paper has a certain number of citations.
Personally, I don't even mind panning around across both axes and zooming in but I may be a minority in that respect.
Probably a large minority nonetheless.

On Android/Chrome, the experience is not bad.
When you load the desktop site, it looks very small but you see the whole thing. Then you can zoom in and pan using your fingers... Not so different from how you use Google maps. It's just a tiny bit slower than on desktop; but everything on mobile is slower than on desktop anyway including typing.

If you're already loosely familiar with the site's UI, it's not difficult to use. Even if you have big finger, you can just zoom in first and then click. It's a quick two-step gesture which is easy to master.
