Java-Based and Chromium-based IDE suck a lot on large code bases.

The same IntelliJ can't compete with Eclipse on handling large scale projects.

CLion gets all the bad from IntelliJ .

On this point of view, Visual Studio 2019 has improved much more on a performance perspective and can still handle large scale projects.

So far, I prefer VS and QtCreator, which have also a free license too. I don't understand why CLion hasn't a Community Edition just like IntelliJ

Very doubtful that it will go anywhere soon. Not only do half the ASEAN countries and China have territorial disputes, India and China have rather cautious and cold relationships. Both SK and Japan are also very cautious towards China and have cold relationships with each other.

I would think that at least the South China Sea territorial dispute would have to be settled, China would have to (at least symbolically) drop its support for Pakistan, and Japan and SK would need some form of reconciliation.

I think the motive for Mars colonization is more robustness than efficiency. It'd definitely be easier to colonize the ocean than Mars. However, many planetary extinction events that would spare Mars would still wipe out settlements on the ocean floor, Antarctica, Mount Everest, or San Francisco. Asteroid impact, worldwide plague, nuclear winter, global warming, Chinese dictatorship, Terminator 3, Waterworld, The Core, Interstellar, they would all wipe out Earth while leaving Mars untouched. Even scenarios like Independence Day, Battleship, and Transformers would give a Mars colony time to react while the aliens were busy wiping out Earth, which might mean the difference between human survival and extinction.

What the employer wants?
You could give the employer everything they want for years and welcome yourself as outdated and underskilled for any other job. The employee needs to look out for what is best for the employee’s life. That only moderately aligns with what is best for the employer — often they are opposed.
Jobs don’t typically last 35 years with the same company anymore. Skills need to be enhanced beyond what the current employer needs.
Side project freedom gives you the power to pick any skills you want to enhance and run with it.

As it is now, you don't need to forge anything. All you need to register for vote in California is to fill and mail a form. You can put last 4 digits of your SSN if you don't provide your state ID#. You don't need to have an address, you can just draw a map where you live. Supposedly, if you register like that (by mail) you have to show a photo ID first time you vote, however, in practice, nobody wanted to see my photo ID despite my attempts to show it.

What stops someone from filing a bunch of those with random names and random 4 digit SSNs with maps to the Skid Row or SOMA or any homeless encampment? You think they might be checking name match with the SSN? Could be, but then you can also apply for ITIN with the same random names and see if they can distinguish one from another.

If ID were to be required then you'd have to make multiple fake ids - inherently more complex and dangerous task than filling out a bunch of voter registration forms. And it could be very dangerous to show with these fake IDs at the polls where they could have government-issue scanners checking them out.

“Hey, look at how many people have connections with or have collaborated with other people in this same industry even though they’re at different companies now.” Um, ok. That’s kind of how the world works.

But I did find one quote interesting:

> The Senate is a deliberative body with 100 members, each of whom has a single, equal vote,” she adds. “But I’ve seen quite clearly that an equal vote is not the same as an equal say. So I have real concerns about who will get to ask the questions, who will get to set the agenda.”

Because there is a lot more to governance than just casting votes. But the article didn’t go into any detail about what membership in Libra actually entails (maybe that’s already been covered?)
I would agree. We should be angry. Especially with news, if they are correct, that you prohibited to install linux on newer Macs.

This is not just image processing. Its also image size reduction using mordern formats like webp on the fly.
So If the front end asks for a image which is stored as 1024x768 on s3 with a new size as 800x600 then the lambda service should convert the image to 800x600, reduce the image quality and send to frontend there by reducing the image file size.
I have done this using backend code for ecommerce app. Where the product listing image sizes where reduced to like 30-50KB from 150KB. making the list images load pretty fast.

If you want to stop fentanyl, the best thing to do is to figure out what chemicals are used exclusively in fentayl production and build an international coalition to ban those. Unfortunately many people just don't appreciate this kind of sophistication and prefer an easier blame game.

Apparently China is already leading the world as far as AI goes (I first saw this in Mary Meeker’s internet report this year I think it was and she usually links to the research in her slides). I read somewhere that Chinese scientists found it easier to get Chinese government funding for bold and ambitious research (and I imagine they’d also have other “advantages” given how the country is governed). So I wouldn’t be surprised if China would overtake the US in a whole bunch of technical sectors.

How do you know, with certainty, when this is happening, and when it isn't?

Do you ever consider the possibility that you might be causing harm to your cause when you are trying to promote it? For example, when you offload judgement to hyper-efficient but highly error prone subconscious heuristics, with no review for correctness and prudence at the conscious level.

Did you see that he included the numbers to answer your questions in his comment? An 80% gain in annual job utility, lasting four years, with a 50% chance to achieve the gain for each two month period during which he experiences a 60% utility lost. Using those numbers, it would be worth doing at least a few of these trials and it would be very unlikely to have to do more than that (especially if his skill is increasing during the trial periods.)
I know you're being tongue-in-cheek, but it's worth making the point.

Carbon offset prices are determined by current carbon offset capacity. Like, number of acres where trees can be planted, number of carbon-scrubbing machines that can be installed at a certain location, etc.

Carbon offset supply is limited. Meaning, it cannot scale to the level the planet needs, at current prices. If we gave these carbon-offset companies X billion dollars tomorrow at current prices, it's not like our problems would be solved.

Therefore, carbon offset prices will go up as demand (read: more people seeking to offset carbon) goes up.

One way to battle that is to reduce carbon emissions while buying offsets. That will reduce the required "supply".

People who buy offsets without reducing their emissions, on the other hand, are effectively stealing resources from future people, by buying low and making it more expensive for the people buying later.

(If you really want to be a jerk about it, you can calculate your lifetime carbon expenditures and just offset all of it now while prices are cheap.)

Agreed. The question is, what is True? Who shall we believe? There are MANY varied and inconsistent characterizations in play. I choose to believe none of them with any confidence, but I suspect I'm fairly rare in this respect.
No one said in the twitter post that correlation is causality. There is a correlation and this is an attempt to explain the correlation.

Even if the explanation of the twitter post is far-fetched, the approach of understanding and finding periods of stress in some population around the world by trying to understand their cultures and economies is refreshing.
"we say that our values (as imperfect in their application as they might be) are worth more than money"

The US keeps selling weapons to the Saudi Arabia that uses them to wage a war of aggression in Yemen, that has brazenly murdered a journalist working for an American newspaper, that executes opposition figures based on fake charges of terrorism, that treats women and gays as inferior.

What sort of values are you talking about?

It's not an 'imperfect application' of the values that American propaganda attributes to America, it's exactly the opposite of them.

I think people just need to get good at making the argument, starting from premises. Simple deductive arguments that end up with a conclusion that people need to cut their emissions in half, spend $200/year on carbon offsets, and plant 20 trees / year. That's about right for an average US citizen, and if you show the reasoning then it's the sort of thing people can grasp and in turn share with other people.

Naturally I was speaking about binary crates.

Yes we do, all the time on Windows, as .lib, .dll or plain COM (now UWP).

Dynamic libraries and COM are an OS ABI, as such compiler agnostic.

And for compiler specific versions, well known libraries do bundle pre-compiled libraries to latest three versions of e.g. VC++, ICC and C++ Builder.

Watching the same crates being compiled over and over across projects isnt' fun. And the workaround with a common workspace only kind of helps.

They seem to have been allowing the use of phone numbers as a search parameter when matching result sets for their 'trusted partners', which means they are revealing user's phone numbers without technically giving the phone numbers to the trusted partners. Very poor OpSec as it allows an advertising partner to further segment its proprietary database with users' twitter profiles (how much data is available there, public or private, I don't know.)

As I look at the page (which I believe changes randomly), I especially appreciate the 0.81 correlation between "letters in winning word of Scripps National Spelling Bee" and "number of people killed by venomous spiders".

It's a good one in two ways. First, it's nicely obvious that these things are unrelated. Second, these are two variables that fluctuate (together) over time -- a lot of the spurious correlations turn out to be two things that basically just increase or decrease more or less constantly over the period in question.
It's much more informative than not having any information about where or whether a merge happened at all, regardless of what the message is.

If there are any conflicts then it will force you to stop and resolve them, which seems like a decent point to document anything that needs to be. Otherwise, you can always amend in a more relevant message afterwards.

> Who are the alarmist movements?

I assume you mean who represents them, as it isn’t an organization I’m naming. A generation ago Al Gore would have been the figurehead of the alarmist movement. Now it is Greta Thunberg and green policy makers like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

> Are climate scientists alarmists?

Some are, usually when they back predictions outside their specialty or make the mistake of applying scientific nodes of thought to (geo)engineering problems and unsurprisingly come up short.

Most are more reserved in how they present themselves and/or understand that our prediction capability is still quite limited and the non-specialist public doesn’t understand the nuances of qualified statements about future outcomes.

Unfortunately evo-activists have cherry picked data, neglecting to mention that global climate has been historically much warmer than now, that rising levels of fixed nitrogen thanks to artificial fertilizer is causing increase of the biome which sequesters carbon in biomass. Some facts presented are outright wrong: rising temperatures means higher atmospheric water capacity and therefore more precipitation, not drought, and fewer numbers of storms (albeit greater in magnitude). Deaths due to changing climate have consistently fallen year over year for as long as such things were measured.

The alarmist narrative is that basically that civilization will fall apart in the next 10-15 years, there will be mass die offs, and the world will be reduced to some sort of Mad Max / Waterworld post-apocalyptic anarchy. It’s bunk, just as the same imminent doom predictions were over the last 40 years. Climate change is real, but nothing even close to that order of magnitude will happen in the next 100 years. And a 100 years is more than enough time to have a sensibly paced transition to nuclear base power supplementing fluctuating renewables, and to develop geoengineering technologies to effectively manage both regional and global climate change. It’s somewhere on the scale closer to Y2K bug, not nuclear holocaust.

But this climate change alarmism is causing our kids to develop acute anxiety and depression disorders, as Greta Thunberg has, which are totally misplaced, and I pity those kids and feel anger towards the adults in their lives that are doing psychological damage. The alarmism is also driving policy recommendations that would bring about global recession on a scale not seen since the Great Depression. If millennials think boomers gave them the short stick, wait until their children see what lack of opportunities they have from our misguided climate change policies.

Edit: Lol, posted and within seconds a negative score. This is always what happens when you attempt to have a reasonable discussion about scientific facts and engineering trade-offs in climate change rather than an alarmist circle-jerk. I don’t know why I bother. Why do we let such important scientific topics become politicized?
