I agree with the gp, the quote makes little sense. It seems to take a bunch of facts from the product marketing but words them in such a way that is highly tortured and just doesn't make sense. Apparently you didn't parse it correctly either: More bandwidth? Even 802.11b had greater bandwidth. 6.8 Mbps is not more bandwidth than WiFi. What the quote is most likely trying to convey is that the radio has much better positional accuracy, which you didn't seem to glean in your paraphrase.

100x accuracy seems to imply that the data transmission is 100x more accurate which is not the cae. The product has high positioning accuracy. "can move 6.8Mbps of data with an accuracy that is 100x better than WiFi or Bluetooth." is a very bizarre way of saying that to be charitable.

"It can reach 290 meters of distance with a very minimal power requirement"
Very minimal? What is "very". Also in practice, the distance achieved is going to be dependent on power. So you can't get these maximum distances with minimal power. Also a bit misleading, as for non-positioning Bluetooth LE is superior.

"with a 50x faster speed compared to standard GPS latency."
This is a tortured way of saying that position acquisition is 50 times faster than GPS.

In practice, the laws of physics also apply. You're not getting 290m of 6.8 Mbps through any walls with minimal power.
I 100% disagree. College moves at a glacial pace once you're used to learning on your own. It's definitely possible to have a stronger grasp of CS concepts after a 9 month intensive study than 4 years in traditional education. Corollary, it's also common to not have any practical skills coming out of a CS degree.

> Yes agreed. You don't need to know that for 99% of CS jobs. But we are not talking about whether bootcamps can prepare you for work in average code mills, we are talking about whether they can replace CS education.

We're discussing "what happens to tech workers when their skills become obsolete." If being able to contribute to a scaled system as a great software engineer at Google or Amazon is not a sufficient measure of "Knowing CS well enough," I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing.

Is it enough CS to do fundamental AI research? Eh probably not. Is it enough CS to do pretty much any other job out there? Yes.
Weird that of all the institutions of the 2000s tech scene, only BoingBoing.net comes out looking good.

> I’ve seen an estimate of 20,000 for SF proper.

Even if that was added to the vacancy rate, that would still leave SF with around the national average (~7%) vacancy rate, and that's without counting the off-the-market housing anywhere else in the average (and not double counting actual on-the-market vacancies everywhere else, either.) Anyway you cut it, SF has a low vacancy rate/rate of empty homes.
>>You should instead apply for a PhD in astrophysics at MIT or something and start contributing to mankind...

I think that is horrible advise. They will pay you peanuts and abuse you. Instead go found a startup and make lots of money. Then you can fund interesting research that contributes to humanity, if you want. Or you could get a PhD once you've gotten your money.

This is all assuming that said person is a genius, of course. Otherwise disregard this advise.
"Modern capitalism puts itself at the center of society"

Does it insist upon itself?
Well I am very familiar with the decawave, and I agree with the GP. This quote is bizzaro, as I mention in detail in another comment.

It’s a national problem. If you improve the supply only in CA, more folks will move there and recreate the problem.

in response to 2 and 3: What about the status quo where gig workers are running 2-5 apps at once. If they are payed between trips, do they collect minimum wage from all companies?
Fascinating!

Did not know you could make an antenna out of a plasma; this is fascinating; thank you for expanding what I thought was possible!

The best parts for me are the non-answers about Nest and Cell. And also referring to corporate surveillance as “compassionately evaluating your flow state.” Somebody read the dexterity with symbols chapter of Moral Mazes :)
For all of it's slowness, and constantly filling my hard drive with old builds because that's the workflow for some reason, it solves the real problem of MacOS constantly breaking packages. That alone makes it worth it.
So you blame republicans and want even more Democratic control of the Legislature than they already have.
It doesn’t. The landlord captures increases in value from things like better public infrastructure or outside economic development in the same fashion. Tech workers in San Francisco, for example, have created massive amounts of wealth and value in the city, much of which has then been sucked up by landlords and developers who provide nothing even remotely comparable. They just profit from owning something other people do work in and build on top of.
It seems like the problem affects multiple models. The thread I linked above was started by a Pixel 2 user.
It can be expected to stay exempted?

Have you heard of this amazing thing called "a VM"? It is like docker but when you pee at the wall it always splashes back right at you so you quickly learn that you never want to pee at the wall.

I’ve been back in the USA for more than 3 years now and haven’t experienced this yet. I’ve lived in hot housing markets also (LA and then the Seattle area).
If someone with no working experience knows more than the professors then they go to a poor university.

FTL requires numerous things to be true about our universe, that all signs say are not.
Not really, landlords who choose to increase rent with rent control in effect , will increase rent no matter what. The only thing stopping any landlord to not increase rent are supply/demand (market conditions)
All you need to do is say, if you're increasing the rent by more than 7% then you need to give a years notice. That's it.
Density is preferred, ie clearing parking lots downtown, not open spaces in the country.
Really? To me it was always a runtime VM done right! The .net CLR is much more stable, leak-proof, and performant in my experience. I have .net services that run on servers for years without ever being restarted.

Given that C# and "Rust" are neck and neck, I'd rather have a nice GC language to work with.
Same here, I switched from ActionScript to JavaScript fairly easily, and now almost 10 years later I'm well rounded in both front-end and back-end.
I started reading up Ruma sources with the intent to start contributing when I'm done with my current work (and when async lands in stable). Hopefully it (and maybe Dendrite) will be able to provide your 15 years of uptime on the client side in the future.
As someone who dropped out of college after the first two years (before specializing in a degree), I'm not sure "university-level thinking and production" is actually meaningful.
Because it keeps around all of the images you use as well as the containers after they are stopped so you can resume them. there is a command that auto automatically removes all unused images and containers you can use.
Really? It worked fine for me and I'd never heard of it before tonight. I'm running NoScript, that might be the difference?

Best line in the article IMHO

This sounds terrifying and dystopian. Is it?

No.
2200 on food per month, utter nonsense. 380 on baby kit per month for children in preschool? Nonsense.

I have osteomalacia, and I have suffered 4 bone fractures in the last 4 years, two spontaneously: one during my sleep, and one while twisting in my car to pick up something from the passenger seat.

I take Vitamin D, Calcium, and alendronate (Fosamax), and when the sun is out, I go out for a while without sunscreen.

My last DXA (2.8 years ago) had a Z-score of -2. I'm only in my 40's, so I don't have a T-score.

I don't really care about the validity of this study. I just know I have to take Vitamin D and Calcium supplements regularly, and Magnesium less often, but regularly.
You might be having trouble wrapping your head around the thing, because the thing you're trying to wrap your head around is completely different from what I said.

To be clear, then: I did not downvote your experience. (I'm not even sure what that means. Can you explain?) I downvoted the counterfactual conclusion that you've drawn from your experience, and then crowed condemningly at the community.
I spent a solid half hour looking for my wallet other day. It was on a window sill hidden by the blinds which had been lowered.
Please don't answer the question if you don't know enough to answer it. Rust doesn't have exception handling. Rust doesn't have a runtime.
The issue linked is that is doesn't actually reclaim the space - you either have to wipe it out or do that workaround mentioned to resize it manually.
I mean is that really a controversial statement?

I've been doing self-studying for the past few years and there's no way I could possibly truly learn the bulk of CS in only nine months. Every skill needs many hours of practice and the brain needs time to process information. Unless you're part of the 1% of people who are extremely quick learners and have profound memory retention skills, most people need a lot of time to comprehend complex topics. It's not pure coincidence that some of the best performers of a lot of subjects started when they were young: by the time they were in college/adulthood they already had thousands of hours of practice.
I have a stupid question: how does this committe know in advance what a newspaper is about to be publishing? I mean in order to give advanced notices they need to know what the newspaper is up to?
Anyone asking for "source" should be able to prove that they've not searched first. Because it's right there. As noted in the other comment it's in the literal documentation for rust.

Low effort commenting is usually shunned here, yet the ever prevalent "source?" seems to get a free pass all the time.

Really people should say: "source? Because I tried https://www.google.com/search?q=rustc+is+also+much+better+at... and found no sources whatsoever about this issue that has been discussed to death on dozens of forums yet I was somehow incapable of finding a single thing on the matter"

Why should someone spend time typing out easily searchable content for you? In fact, why should forums with a focus on high quality content even answer you?

Anyone who asks for sources should be required to do the same on demand. Whenever, wherever.
There is a saturation point for learning. A 1 year program where you spend 20 hours a week studying a subject is not equivalent to a 3 month program where you spend 80 hours a week studying.
Most dev jobs in my experience rarely need much CS knowledge past data structures and the odd basic algorithm. This may be different outside of the top tier companies but they makes up a small part of the working world.

Being a good person to work with, ability/desire to learn stuff, cool head when things go wrong, and being reliable are far more valuable once you've got that basic CS knowledge.
Have you tried running the Vscode + Linux Subsystem + Docker on Windows stack? It's been pretty good so far (a good writeup on this is at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/setting-up-docker-for-windows...)
those scripts are now built into docker with `docker system prune`
Problem with my local panera is that half the time there aren't any pagers at the touchscreen station, while there's a 3 foot stack of them at the register.

Another problem is that guided access isn't always active on the iPads, meaning you can go to different apps and potentially change settings around. Since most jailbreaks these days are just apps, an attacker could go to safari and download a jailbreak app signed with an enterprise certificate and have a (tethered) exploit potentially stealing anything from panerabread.com passwords to credit cards.
Hungry people are a growing and incredibly complex problem. Punishing even a single one of Epstein's clients seems much more manageable. And if we're going for impact-to-effort ratio queuing, this is likely a bit more of a gimme than world hunger.
Did you read the same article I did? I feel like the article said the opposite of what you are saying it did... the article pretty strongly says that Media Lab was in the wrong and the argument that the donations were anonymous and therefore ok were completely wrong.
The issue with LTCM wasn't just that they didn't test sufficiently - the problem is that traders could take positions without supervision and any accountability. My understanding is that any firms that survived that period (and I believe they were all pulling the same shenanigans as LTCM, just maybe to a lesser degree) now have risk management because unlike Lehman/Bear they can't just foist that risk off onto the public market. No one at the head of a multi-billion dollar hedge fund wants to stop being there if all they have to do to endure is pay for risk management.

*edit: I'm not a serious student of this aspect, but I recall that none of the top independent hedge funds took a bath in the 2007+ collapse (that is, those that weren't in-house funds from a major wall st. company). They all had their risk management in order and all did pretty well in buying distressed assets. Some like Bridgewater really managed to grow non-stop right through that.
Weird, I’ve always found McSweeney’s one of the better – I just opened in Chrome and Firefox, both normal and Incognito, can see the article all ways.
You can get a piece of paper saying you have a degree with no work. Conversely, you can work really hard in college and learn orders of magnitude more than at any bootcamp.
Yeah. I have to run docker system prune from time to time.
Worse still you'll be 10s of thousands of dollars in debt where anyone from a third world country with access to a computer can connect to the internet and do your job for a fraction of the cost. CS degrees are a hazing ritual that keeps CS professors and fat cat administrators employed.

The fact that Go is slower than C# really amazes me! Not long ago I switched from C# to Go on a project for performance reasons, but maybe I need to go back.
Yes, you use .get_unchecked instead of [].
Programming language knowledge overlaps with skills in that different languages affect the ways you think about problems, but knowledge, skills and intelligence are different things.

Only having knowledge is probably the hardest place to be, and those are the least desired staff ("paper $CERTIFICATION"), but if you have the others then knowledge is (arguably) the easiest thing to add.

If you have programming skills then you can extend from that base into front end, back end, etc. It's going to be harder to jump to sales, because you don't have the skills or the knowledge. Similarly if you've only ever done sales, or accounting, or cooking, or whatever then it'll be harder to develop the skills and knowledge for programming.
Really excited to see Discord rejected. Watching Discord take over open source and free culture communities has been disheartening to say the least.
Installing Docker or another container runtime is easy. I'd suggest creating a portable OS that you can boot from USB, or creating a local registry. You may also want to consider just creating a script to bind mount the binaries.
YMMV, but in my experience people who use phrases like “Big Daddy government” and accuse everyone else of “pure ignorance” are typically not arguing in good faith.
I can't imagine doing it at my stage of life. I have plenty of peers who have done that. I've lived in a 5 bedroom 2 bath house (only 900sqft tho) with 4 strangers as well.

Solitude and your own space comes at an outrageously high price here, sadly. But I pay it cause I can't live any other way sanely.
Not everyone Mozilla hires is from a super technical background (ex: even though I now am a pentester, I actually did a UX research internship, wasn't hired to do software engineering at all). I wish they'd kept it around though, let the community die a natural death: slowly bleeding out as zoomers share memes in signal groups.
There's a very old con where you simply send every possible prediction to a different person, and progressively eliminate all the ones that got wrong info, until you have one left who has observed you make a series of impossible predictions.
Could you learn all of computer science in nine months? No.

Could you learn the necessary CS fundamentals that are included in a CS degree in nine months?

Nine months of Lambda School full-time is virtually equivalent to the amount of time you'd spend in the CS portion of a four-year CS degree.
Seattle's rent, specifically, has risen an average of 8% year-over-year for the past 4 years now. (According to Zillow's rental data - https://www.zillow.com/downtown-seattle-seattle-wa/home-valu...).

And I strongly suspect these numbers are below real-world ones (they use Zillow-listing advertised price, which like most advertisements, are usually slightly lower than the actual price a real person would have to pay)
Cross-language comparisons are always interesting to look at; if I had the time, I'd really like to write one in Asm and see how it compares.

I've written NIC drivers for some older chipsets, and IMHO it's not something that's particularly "algorithmic" in computation or could necessarily show off/exercise a programming language well; what's really measured here is probably an approximation to how fast these languages can copy memory, because that's ultimately what a NIC driver mostly does (besides waiting.) To send, you put the data in a buffer and tell the NIC to send it. To receive, the NIC tells you when it has received something, and you copy the data out. Nonetheless, the astonishingly bad performance of the Python version is surprising.

Although I haven't looked at the source in any detail, I know that newer NICs do a lot more of the processing (e.g. checksums) that would've been done in the host software, so that would be another way in which the performance of the host software wouldn't be evident.

One other thing I'd like to see is a chart of the binary sizes too (with and without all the runtime dependencies).
First off really glad with the move to allow small teams to really try the software for free until they grow organically. Kudos to Clubhouse.

I've been using Trello for my 2-person team but the closer we're getting to an initial launch the more we've been missing the abstractions more complex pieces of software like JIRA offer, e.g., Epics, Milestones, issue-linking, issue-types, etc. I'm not saying Trello can't make up for that with proper usage of labels, lists, and powerups, but having been working with JIRA and Fogbugz for over a decade it's hard to change our way of thinking.

So I though I'd give Clubhouse and this free offering was the push I needed. FYI the tool under https://github.com/jnormington/trello-to-clubhouse.io does a pretty job of helping import existing Trello boards/cards but there's not 1-1 mapping so some cleanup will be required after the import.
Writing option contracts and shorting the market are two examples which come to mind.
As a design choice, Rust prefers not to change the semantics of methods depending on the context, but instead to expose different methods. Arrays offer get_unchecked and get_unchecked_mut methods, which can only be called inside unsafe blocks.

The one exception I'm aware of is that integer overflow panics in debug builds, and silently wraps in release builds. But in most other cases, there will be different separate methods with different semantics, requiring an unsafe context as appropriate.
There is some huge conflation there. I have three kids 10, 12, 15 and all three have cell phones. There are rules regarding use.

1. No phones at dinner EVER

2. No electronics (of any kind) except low music on school nights without explicit approval or when the device is being used specifically for school work

3. Free reign on weekend electronics outside of prior commitments and all chores are done

Weekends roll around and you would think they would be glued to the electronics based on everything people post here, but usually it ends up being a last resort. They would much prefer to go play soccer with friends, practice their artwork, go shooting or give each other facials.
You still get in trouble I think. Have any political regimes been stable enough in the past 222 yaers for the trust to survive?

All of Europe has gone through multiple revolutions, USA was only 30 years old back then so you wouldn’t have considered it ... that leaves what, the UK? Any parts of Asia that survived since 1797?
There's three paths:

1) Rent cap landlords. The landlords will cry Big Government.

2) Abolish single family-only zoning and legalize backyard cottages, townhomes and small apartments. The homeowners will cry Big Government.

3) Do nothing. Watch as more people start living in tents or endure super-commutes that snarl your traffic and worsen climate change.
