Creative Cloud was launched in 2012. Looking at the historical chart of the stock price, it seems to have done wonders for the company.

Tech Leads course is low quality and basically a cash grab. Very similar to DailyCodingChallenge (see the 26% one star rating of their book on Amazon), who also cashed out and actually advertise through Tech Lead.
but that's not the issue here. There is no example where duplicate content is outranking his. In the quoted query, he ranks higher. Beyond that he says he doesn't rank well for "polygraph", but not that it's outranked by the spammy content.
It is popular because of the developer experience. You can get a Postgres database running with one command, and then throw it away (and no this is not equivalent to apt install postgres). Many other things are pretty polished as well, definitely more polished than LXC.

Kubernetes and similar software "solve" some problems and create a bunch of new ones.

I don't think the actual tech is that good (or new for that matter, Solaris had zones in ~2005); for example getting a core dump from a container without going into the host machine is an unsolved problem.
As pointed out several times on a recent discussion, including responses to this question, programmers spend a lot of time staring at text. It’s not unreasonable to want to find a good typeface.

Isn't that a significantly higher number than the Salem witch craze, which was (1) much more tightly geographically focused and (2) one of the signal historical events of the era? We teach the Salem Witch Trials to children in elementary school; this is the first I'd heard of the Scottish witch craze.
I was about to ask, “how would you find her phone if she’s not in ‘The Family’?” And it occurs to me that you probably would enter her creds into Find My Phone, then find her phone. Yeah, that was broken from the start IMO. Though the current model breaks your previous flow, umm, maybe use it as intended (and the way it should have been to begin with) and just use the Family feature?

Anyway, probably time for me to let this one go, I don’t even remember the original issue without backtracking up thread. :-)
Being able to pay on a regular basis means you have some structure, it's not just a fad in your life whether personal or professional. It's gatekeeping, don't think for one second I agree with the principle, but from a business standpoint that's the best justification I can think of.

There's already a much faster method for solving many-body systems than calculating the influence of every one on every other one.

Basically, you divide your space into pieces depending on the location of the masses, and you build a tree, where far away areas are treated as if they were point masses at the center of gravity. This converts an N^2 computation into an N log N one. I'm not clear whether this neural net does better than the well known fast approximate method.
They seem dubious at best, at times I’m surprised that people don’t just find ways to have a lawyer break the agreement after they’re hired. In certain cases it could be cheaper to do that than continue being robbed.
Many who might be interested in CodeBreakers fear investing $8k and end up with nothing. That's why we offer the ISA option to work with everyone's budget. Candidates planning to use the service seriously to get placed are encouraged to choose whichever payment options that works best for them; that's why we have both options.
Damn, I think I actually really like this!

I'm going to switch from Operator Mono after 3 or so years for the first time, for a month or so to see if I want to switch completely.

Thanks for contributing this! Really cool font.
By far, the most effective motivation to concentrate on and learn something is being assigned to debug/add features in a language/stack I’ve not used yet. While this certainly lights a fire and gives me the concentration I need to learn how to get the task done I do wish I had more time to follow up with “now that I’ve done X in language Y and platform Z, I’d like to loop back and actually learn language Y and platform Z — but I have a new assignment...”
I didn’t understand the appeal of narrow fonts until I switched to Iosevka, and now I’m a big fan.

I don’t see any readability problems, I can increase the text (important for my old eyes) without losing horizontal screen real estate, and I find the overall aesthetic quite pleasing.

Does anyone know how to use this with vs code? I am setting the edit font family to "Victor Mono" but it doesn't work. I can see the font and use it in my terminal so I know it's properly installed. I have even restarted vs code and no luck.
I can't speak for other companies, but I can assure you that Google emphasizes extreme scrutiny that there is as little implicit bias as possible throughout their interview process.

So you have to give people access to the entire host! Great. And you can't even do that in cloud environments.

And even then you run top on the host and obviously it doesn't know anything about containers because they're not real.
Sure, but that's arguing from results and you can justify an awful lot of terrible stuff like that.

Interactions between people can to a large extent be governed properly but utilitarianism but as soon as you bring in stockprice as the arbiter then you're very far from safe ground. After all; in times of war the stock price of weapons manufacturers will go up but that does not mean that the net utility gain is positive.
"fish fish eat eat" isn't a noun phrase, no. The noun phrase in question is X = "fish fish eat". Which you can embed between "fish" and "eat" to make a bigger noun phrase:

(1): X' = fish X eat ("fish that X eats")

You can continue forever by repeatedly applying equation (1) to make bigger and bigger noun phrases. Producing:

(2): X = fish fish eat

(3): X' = fish {fish fish eat} eat

(4): X'' = fish {fish {fish fish eat} eat} eat

At the end of which you can stick an "eat" on the end to make a sentence.

Spending some resources on making comfortable the thing you spend all day watching may pay off. A bad font breaks my concentration; a less legible font increases the chance of silly typos, etc.

Try working while sitting on a random piece of furniture, while using a keyboard from Sinclair Spectrum put on a random coffee table. Chances are your productivity will slightly decrease.

Same applies to every tool you use daily. Even a small difference in quality may play a major role.

* For what it’s worth in terms of context, I’m not an “incel” and I’m in a pretty decent sexual relationship.

* I think whatever brand of red-pilled you want to call me is the polar opposite of what an “incel” would be defined as. Most “incels”, as far as I can tell, take bad relationship advice about being yourself to heart and don’t seek out successful men who give good advice on lifting and other positive life improvements to really succeed. They fail to get success and feel bitter precisely because they don’t have good male role models who are willing to talk in an unfiltered way to them. To me, the lack of male role models is key.

* Despite not being an “incel” and disagreeing with them on many topics, I feel an immense amount of sympathy for people with this label. Isn’t it sad that there are a lot of men out there, many of whom are smart and productive members of society, who cannot find a happy and fulfilling relationship? We see mainstream society basically wanting to completely shun the unloved. Instead of joining the 2 minutes of hate, why not offer a path to success for them, or at least some sympathy to the unloved? If you’re an “incel”, how do you think you feel when you see stuff like this? https://twitter.com/ekp/status/991817194987114496?lang=en

As well as the fact that irish whiskey generally has a mashbill containing a portion of unmalted barley. Not sure, but I think it is at _least_ 30% as per the Irish Whiskey Association rules?

Single malt Scotch requires (as per SWA rules) a 100% malted barley mashbill.

Blended Scotch, on the other hand, has no such requirement, and is typically a blend of Single malt Scotch and alcohols from other cereals.
"People irrationally hate X" may be perfectly true, but is not a reason why any particular, or most, or the most significant, criticisms of X are wrong or should be ignored.

Even the particular people who irrationally hate something are obviously likely to also run across the good reasons for hating it.

It's not reasonable to say "criticism X doesn't count anymore because we've heard it too many times".
Cui bono?

That is, who could possibly benefit from hiding anti-polygraph sites? Why, only all the entities in the world who uses the polygraph to intimidate people; i.e. all the world’s collected military and intelligence agencies, plus any really large corporations either with ties to them or who uses the polygraph themselves.

I don’t think he can expect any help from Google.

Most automobiles in the US are designed to carry up to five people, and almost always carry just a single person.

It still makes sense to target those with an MPG requirement.

We could also eliminate the Federal tax credits for farm vehicles -- actually we should alter the vehicles which qualify for the subsidy. Because current tax law encourages the purchase of vehicles larger than 8000 pounds for primarily personal, non-farm activity.

Almost insane touch that one, though; it hands the story to those who would oppose any reduction of carbon subsidy. I mention it by way of illustrating one of the myriad ways that hardworking, independent Americans depend upon Federal handouts. (Using emotionally provocative language on purpose here. I prefer to avoid such framing, not useful. Here I use it by way of another illustration of warped perspective on carbon economy status quo.)

What's interesting to me is that if you use one of these fonts in an editor with Rust or another language they'll usually look quite like any other regular font without any fancy cursive or whatnot.

My assumption is that it's the editor's implementation, but I found it interesting that the use of these fonts (or at least, proper implementation thereof) seems to lean heavily towards Javascript.

Or am I missing something here?

Why is this better than Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Consolas, SF Mono, Pragmata Pro, and Operator Mono? The reason can be anything, but what is the reason?

I don't find that this font outperforms any of those fonts on any of the metrics listed on the website (crispness, legibility). Is this, like, a subjective thing? Or do I have bad taste?
I’m not blaming anybody for anything, and I understand that some people enjoy endlessly tinkering with their setups. What I don’t understand is why this particular topic has become so popular recently (I’ve seen so many posts about it) for two reasons.

1) The difference between the best (according to your own taste) font your IDE offers off the shelf, and the best font you can find anywhere in existence seems marginal to me.

2) Optimising for readability and then introducing cursive to your IDE seems like two diometrically opposed ideas to me.

I’m not trying to be a Luddite or a hipster. Do what makes you happy. I just don’t get this trend and can’t help but think it’s a waste of time, especially if productivity is one of the supposed goals of this.
The patents are written with the most broad and generic claims as possible first. Then the claims are re stated like 3 or 4 times, that would seem identical, but each re statement of them adds like one or two words of detail or specifics each time down. (So maybe claim 2 won’t stand up in court, but claim 23, a derivative of 2, will, the idea that you sue for infringement of as much as possible) I’ve submitted a patent before, and hardly Understood my own patent by the time the lawyer was done with it. But after really paying attention, I guess all the technical details are there. I think larger companies that aren’t specifically patent trolls patent as much as possible just for their own defense too.
Be careful though - TAILS doesn't suddenly make untrusted hardware safe. You can still be surveilled by things like keyloggers.

Although this data structure was first published in 1979[0], I've not been able to find any implementations online. I've also published a drop-in replacement for Vec using the same data structure: https://github.com/senderista/rotated-vec. I haven't published these crates yet since I want to get feedback from the Rust community first.

Seconded, though not as bad for me (FF 70, win10). Eats about half as much CPU as decoding a 4k video, which is crazy for what appears to be a static site.

Just tested on arch w/FF 70 and much worse.
To expand a bit, as I understand it, Remora gives a type system (and type inference) to APL- and J-style reranking, which is called rank polymorphism in Remora. The key thing is that type inference in Remora is based on Presburger arithmetic (0,+) which is decidable, unlike the stronger but overly powerful (for their purposes) than full Peano arithmetic (0,1,+,*).

Pro tip - Consolas is good enough. Any other font won't make you faster, happier or wealthier.

Sure. I propose that externalities (like pollution) be taxed, in order to "internalize the externalities".

> That doesn't fit in with what you said.

That refers to the accounting. I was referring to their manipulation of prices, which was only made possible by California's fixing of consumer electricity rates.

As for accounting fraud, that's illegal and not free market.
I think IM has such a low bar to entry (how hard is it to create a TCP connection and send and recieve stuff?) that encourages lots of churn and competing protocols.
I'm sympathetic to the CEO position.Not because of the overly glamorised picture of what it entails but because of how lonely it can feel sometimes. Most people can make decisions knowing that there's someone above them who can advise/change or cancel it all together.For CEOs that's often not the case and whatever you decide,you have to live with it.

I hear this said a lot, but is there an example you can think of of a mainstream Japanese whiskey --- a Nikka or Suntory, for instance --- that isn't 100% Japanese spirit? There's Akashi, but the controversy there is that it's not 100% whiskey, not that it isn't 100% Japanese.
I use an execution system to run scripts on remote hosts. I create dns via api calls, configure a web server to accept that domain, which points to a parked landing page. When ready I run another script that pulls the latest tag from git and drops it onto the web server . These pages are served until I make a change to git and push deploy. I would like to make a ui to this but my JS skills suck donkey butt.
It's still what I like to call "lie with statistics". Take a topic that is pretty much inherently unmeasurable ("roles by value creation"), and then assign numbers to it in a pseudoscientific attempt to sound like you've done your research.

I wonder, what's the 95% worst case latency for a stat on a 5400 RPM laptop drive from 10 years ago? Assuming of course that the drive is already spinning since it's reading a million other things from your profile.

I bet it's negligible in almost every case.
s there any public information on actually how BERT is being applied to IR?

For each of the scenarios they described they are just like "here's potential hard search query, and BERT adds magic language understanding which makes it all better ". It's non-obvious how BERT is actually being used though, especially at the scale and latency they need.

(I get that that this is Google's "secret sauce" and they might not saying anything in this particular use of BERT. But I'm curious if anyone had seen anything related.)
Why is this attitude so prevalent? You make an extreme and unsubstantiated statement denying any merit to one side of a contentious issue. Somebody predictable comes along and argues that there is demonstrated merit on that side and it must be acknowledged if we want to improve upon it. And you respond with disdain, so sure that anybody who dared question your radical position must be totally blindly loyal to the other side to the same extent that you are to yours.

What do you or anybody else gain from that? If I'm just responding to a troll account then I guess that's on me. But if not, please explain your motivations. Why are you publishing far-out opinions and then lashing out when disagreed with? It's exactly how anti-vax advocates and flat-earthers behave.
I'm not justifying what they did here and I get your position. I'm thinking about the motivation, progression, etc. The upside of ignoring proper security seems to outweigh the downside.

Google recruiter reached out to me for a role in MV. I said I’d like for an NYC position. I forward my resume to him and he said he’ll forward it to NYC team. After that no reply from him. I followed up and he said they decided not to move forward.

Can you tell me what happened? Did I get shadowbanned by Google?
It's not just the US military I don't like, it's all militaries. I can't say I'm supportive of any organisation which has the killing of human beings as a core function. Especially the modern incarnation of war, which is mainly waged against much weaker, non-threatening opponents for profit.

I would not align myself with the Jedi or the Sith, if I were lucky enough to be living in the Star Wars universe. I'd rather be a trader in some far flung system, quietly going about my business and exploring the universe.

Yes, “crispness” and especially “legibility” are subjective traits.

Taste is also subjective.

- they will park next to a large cat and eat, side by side... or if there's only own bowl, they will walk up and push the cat out of their way (cat responses to this are really funny)
