Probably. But I always try to build Linux programs natively or in an officially supported environment at the first attempt because I'm not sure what potentially cause problems when I build it in a something unsupported environment. On top of that running the testing framework needed an X11 environment. You know, it sometimes also takes significant times to figure out how to set up in a different environment. I might try EC2 if I became a regular firefox contributor.
> loops of neurons are resonant with certain frequencies of firing rates

Do you hypothesize a distributed, or centrallized control mechanism for this behavior? Like a direct consequence of each neuron's encoding, or is it parameterized in a way which can be changed on-the-fly via a control circuit? Maybe both?
> DNA is immutable,

Well, no, it's absolutely not. Nor is it necessarily consistent within an individual.
Have you ever heard the statistic that there are over 200,000 unsolved murders in the past 40 or so years? In the U.S.? This means that there are a lot of serial killers out there -- one page estimates 2,000 -- not to mention the relatively-banal one-and-done murderers.

Police already rarely run DNA tests on existing convicts, so I'm fairly sure they would not view it as a prestigious apppointment to work all day every day to grind through several tens of thousands of new DNA tests just to upload them to GEDMatch...for a chance at a hit on someone who hasn't already been convicted, who isn't already scheduled to be executed, or who has already been executed.

Long story short: you're talking about something that is easy to ask, but is a massive undertaking.
Federal evidentiary standards are that any data you provide to a third party for commercial purposes forfeits a presumption of privacy, and can be accessed with an administrative subpoena (not even a warrant). Same thing they use to dragnet cellphone records.

Anything you (or your relatives) submit to, let's say, 23andme, is fair game and you should assume the feds have it and can search it.
I don't disagree.

But sometimes you have to do what you have to do to keep the organization moving forward.

I use a first-gen AMD Threadripper 1950x (16 cores x 2 HT, or 32 logical cores), if that counts as HEDT.

It's absolutely faster than any business laptop for doing builds of medium sized C and C++ projects.

(But I think a non-HEDT desktop would also outperform a typical laptop in this use case -- thermal throttling is a real problem for laptops.)

It presumably is in some areas. In New Zealand we have The Consumer Guarantees Act. Things are expected to have a reasonable life span. What this means is not specified but is generally accepted to be relative to the price paid (eg if it’s expensive, it should last). It’s a fantastic piece of legislation. I’ve had a 2.5 year old iPhone covered for example.
Presumably that's with the dual-GPU, 28-core processor model under full load (and the MPX module drawing its full 500W, among other peripherals). An office with this kind of workload is going to require robust wiring regardless of which particular workstations are installed.
> Trolling is a fundamental right , not being trolled is not

This is hilariously wrong in most jurisdictions, probably including the one you’re thinking of.

You may be parseing down ‘trolling’ to ‘behaving argumentatively on the internets’ but this is not the substance of what attacks are being brought against these young women, who are also minors.

Feel free to double down on “death threats aren’t trolling” and so on, if you’ve missed the point. UDHR article 12 for further reading.

https://interruptions.net/literature/Wicklund-BASP81.pdf Is my go-to reference article. The idea of 'symbolic self completion' resonates so strongly with my personal experiences that 'talking depletes'. The less said about what you're working on, what your goals are, how you want to be, the better.

The book "Ego is the Enemy" also explains this effect. (It may have been the origin idea that led me to chase down the research paper in the first place)
XCode is really unpleasant as far as IDEs go.
And robust air conditioning, too. Source: worked in an office full of dual-GPU deep learning workstations. We had to bring in those gigantic rental portable conditioners in the summer, and re-do pretty much all of the existing wiring in the office, because electricians who installed the first iteration could not conceive of having two dozen ~900W workstations cranking away 24x7x365 in a single open office plan.
this doesn't really solve the problem, its a little better, however, as it STILL accepts positional arguments you can still get in trouble if you don't use parameter names.

It's just not really an issue as far as I can tell.
And all of that will be pretty laughable compared to the stuff AMD is releasing later this year.
Hackintosh allows you to have OS X on better hardware but these days it's really unsafe, due to the possibility of Apple going full ARM in the near future, dropping all the support for x86.
> the Soviet Constitution of 1936 guaranteed more rights than any other state in the world. I recall a Soviet citizen telling me that people in the USSR had absolute freedom of speech—so long as they did not lie

Actually I heard it as “The people of the USSR had complete and absolute freedom of speech... but only once”. Lie or not, if the state didn’t like it, you ended up in a concentration camp.
I'd hate to be either of the two students the author throws under the bus with nary a sentence of context (the bus here being thousands of words describing Lenin's atrocities). Just think, one moment you're unable to sufficiently articulate your feelings on hate speech in front of a class to satisfy your professor, the next moment you've been lumped in with a mass murderer!

The AMD Vega II appears to be a higher-end Radeon VII except with 32GB of HBM2 (instead of 16GB like the Radeon VII). So not really. AMD VegaII Duo (the dual-Vega II) is going to be far more powerful than anything AMD releases in the near future. 64GB of HBM2, 28+ TFlops single precision, etc. etc.

CPU-wise, probably. Xeon W 28-core is still quite good from Intel however, with AVX 512 support and such.

The hypothesis of this example is that the unfortunate suspect's DNA "matches" the crime scene DNA. Of course it's going to "match" when they test it again. The point is that when the original match is against a huge population, you're going to find a bunch of matches, most or all of whom are innocent. Picking one out of that set and then confirming that one is really in that set doesn't prove anything.
I make a habit of counting seconds between cars (particularly in light traffic, which is also the only time I'm using cruise control), aiming for the standard 5s follow. At 90km/hr (25m/s), you're telling me Toyota's cruise control has a maximum follow distance of 2 seconds? That is incorrect from my experience (and unsafe from standard driving practice). Where did you get that number?
Could you have code reviews in the data?
If done right, spear fishing.

I'm a privacy guy, but the science really is there to use DNA to narrow a list of suspects. You can't say the same for much of forensic science, or for that matter mass surveillance technologies.

> Copy.from('foo').to('bar')

Funny, I don't think I've actually seen a fluent file API like this before. I guess most languages have file I/O built in to their standard libraries.

My immediate reaction to this, though, is that you could make it more general:

File('foo').CopyTo('bar');

You could then also have

.ReadAsText()

.MoveTo(target)

.SetOwner(owner)

.GetFullPath()

This is readable and solves the problem the original post is discussing, but it's also nice when learning because an IDE can give very useful help about possible operations, and all you have to remember is the File() function.
> Basically you're warning the master/manager that your story is gonna slip if they don't start managing.

This. But it doesn't have to be accusatory like that. It's a way to have opportunity for feedback without having to be pressed for feedback.

The best manager I ever had was great because he totally trusted his people. Standups were a non-intrusive way to keep the overall pulse and make himself available if he was needed...that way he didn't need to vulture around to make sure he could insert himself if needed.

I'll take planned and well used 5 minutes of direct management over compulsive and nervous micromanaging anyday.
It looks like any slight mention of negativity towards Apple are being downvoted.

The force is strong with this one.
Considering they just spent possibly 6 years designing this crazy expensive x86 beast, I don't think support is going to drop that hard that fast to warrant avoiding x86.
> but these days it's really unsafe

How is it different than buying a Mac now? It also won't upgrade itself to an ARM processor and they'd need to support existing macOS installations for a while anyway.
I looked it up in the owners manual for the Toyota Corolla available online.

(While I haven't driven a Toyota Corolla with adaptive cruise control, I have driven a Subaru Forester, which uses roughly the same following distance; I find it to be a little closer than I'd prefer on my own, but accept it for the convenience and because I assume it can get away with a shorter following distance, since it is not reliant on human reflexes to stop in an emergency.)
The correct way to opt out of the trial can sometimes require leaving the Google ecosystem, i.e. you must submit an email, which clearly isn't how Google wants these to run. It's also sometimes done as white on white text, text too small to read on a mobile device, or text that's buried in a a TOS intentionally. These aren't people legitimately attempting to offer a service, they are trying to dupe people.
How about just removing likes altogether? Facebook is OPTIMIZED for petty flamewars, because that equals engagement and ad views, and the karma system is at the heart of it. I participate in many rock climbing forums (MountainProject, various subreddits) and the climbing groups on Facebook have a unique level of vitriol. It is just a fun sport, not politics, not religion, but somehow FB foments vicious debate in spite of it. I actually saw one group for climbing partners in Canada that the admin shut down because he was sick of how it decayed. I've never seen anything like it.

Oh yeah, lots of American police want to work this hard; there's probably five or six of them at least. What most police will do instead is arrest the first name on the list. When she or he documents an alibi, they'll arrest the second name on the list. Eventually, some poor bastard who lives in the same state will have gone hiking alone the day of the crime, or stayed home and slept after a week of overtime, or whatever. Unless there is a statistician on the jury, that person is going to prison.
2 issues i have with this "process":

1 - take-home task of "only" 6 hours. that's on top of the onsite (~6 hours) and a few hours for phone call and followups. that's too much for an unpaid job.

2 - they try to find people they know to sniff around about the candidate. that's usually bad as you can jeopardize the candidate's current job (usually people interview while still working at another place).

If he is anything like me, it gives you a good excuse to spend some time with your family and spend some time away from your family without having to be on all the time.

I can’t telk if you’re being sarcastic. But, I have cold induced asthma. I can go weeks after I’m over my cold and still coughing. But even if that’s not the case, there are plenty of times I feel good enough to work or even work out (at home) but want to be considerate enough not to be around other people.

Sounds stressful

Why would that be stressful? At the time, my parents house was larger than mine and they had two spare bedrooms - one for my wife and I, one for me and they had a separate office I could set up in.

The alternative, was staying in an extended stay (not bad, just small) - which we did while school was in session.
I've read a couple books where the opposite was done. Intentionally dump huge amounts of DNA into the area to make any tracing pointless. One amusing and gross way was vacuuming bus seats for the material.
New Hampshire Public Radio put out an amazing podcast about a murder that went unsolved for decades. A lot of effort by a lot of people went into unraveling the stories and identifying the victims, but genetic genealogy was pretty key. In the later episodes they also talk a bit about the question of unrestricted access and the consent of people in the databases.

If you're interested in how powerful the techniques are (or are simply interested in how a very cold case was finally broken open), I'd highly encourage you to check out Bear Brook:

Technical Resumes: Samples, Templates, and Tips
I think it's just safe to say that it depends on what motivates you. It's been known for a very long time that announcing plans creates a form of external accountability, which might be motivation for a number of people, but not for some.

So saying that announcing your plans makes you less motivated to accomplish them I think is too much of a blanket statement.
Maybe if America hadn't gotten that optimistic view from a 'good' revolution, America would not be the dominant superpower but the world as a whole would be better off.

For instance, I am starting to think it was a mistake to 'solve' the ozone hole problem in the 1980s so quickly and decisively. I've heard some people try to dismiss climate change with remember all those other things that were going to kill us but didn't like nuclear war and the ozone hole. Maybe if it had gotten bad enough that the effects were obviously terrible and it left a generational scar on humanity, then we'd have an easier time negotiating bigger problems, like climate change mitigation.

If the atomic bombs hadn't been dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in 1945, then it seems likely to me that an even greater tragedy would have been struck later. Maybe it was the only thing that kept us from an actual nuclear war.
Wow thats crazy
The problem is, even though it reads smoothly, the names are no longer accurate. The smoothness comes from reading "CopyFile" as a verb (semantically), but "CopyFile" is actually a noun (syntactically).

Source("presentation.md").CopyTo("/tmp/backup")

while scoring slightly fewer slickness points, wins overall imo because it remains accurate.
You’ll learn the libraries you’re stitching together and/or the important details of the framework you’re working with when/as things break or as you get requirements for things you’ve never done before.

Production programming as opposed to academic programming is about writing as little of your own code as possible. Because we all suck at writing code :-)

Certifications are another matter. I’ve found the ones worth having take a career to prep for and the ones your boss tells you to get can be passed by studying a cheat sheet online for a couple hours.
