>people who lived in ancient France were drawing wild animals such as rhinos and lions.

My guess is that when Homo sapien met the people who live in caves, they got to talking about africa and one human was trying to explain rhinocerous and after a while they got frustrated and said "no you're still not getting it. Give me that ink over there, I'll show you."

And then they drew the rhino and also a group of people, for scale.
Although I like some Bach or similar while coding, I don't listen to music or even bring headphones anymore when at work as the temptation to listen to more distractive music is just too big. If it's too noisy at work I pull out party plugs and recently I ordered a 3M construction earcap.
There's no practical option for sleeping on a non-used mattress while traveling. It's not weird that people settle for it rather than refuse to travel altogether.

If I'm going to sleep on something for the next 5-10 years it doesn't make sense to compromise and buy anything other than a new mattress if I don't have to. The hotel scenario is an exception, this is everyday. It's logical when you put it in context.

> however in his case the Feds made a rare show of pseudo-apology and abandoned the case.

Not yet, they haven't abandoned the case yet. It was put on hold when Sidney Powell, Flynn's lawyer showed that FBI manipulated his 302 transcripts and the FBI replied that they would like to put the case on hold until the IG report is out.

In General Flynn’s case, his lawyer’s latest submission (3 weeks ago) also shows that he didn’t actually lie. FBI attorney Lisa Page edited his testimony and overnight, the testimony went from one thing to something he never said. Then FBI used that manipulates testimony to make him plead guilty because he had to sell his house and he went bankrupt from his past lawyer fees. The judge will most likely throw his case out now after this IG report is out which shows gross misconduct from FBI.

I don't blame you guys, and don't envy the position you're in.

Near as I can tell, the mainstream media has spent years telling conservatives that their voices are being silenced at a disproportionate rate by left-leaning Facebook employees. At the same time, they're telling liberals that Facebook is deliberately allowing the spread of disinformation to help more conservatives get elected. Almost as though someone wants the left and right united in their hated of social media.

The next step is obvious: pass laws to cripple the major social media companies and restore the mainstream media to its former position of unchallenged power.

Someone has already suggested that the benefit of taking the mattress away isn't to use or sell it, but to conceal a crime by disposing of it.
>> "forall X: P"

That is not a First Order Logic statement. I think perhaps you mean "forall X, P(X)" or "∀x: P(x)".
This can be expressed in Prolog as "p(X)", where X is an implicitly universally quantified variable.

Do you mean something else? For example, is P meant to be a second-order variable? In that case you can always reprsent it as m(P) in Prolog. Or as m('$P') or some other syntax chosen to denote an existentially quantified second-order term.

In general, could you please clarify what you mean by "true logic engine" and "true logic language"? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the terms.

>> Prolog isn't based on first-order logic or anything.

Yes, Prolog isn't "based" on FOL. It's an automated theorem-prover for FOL theories that uses SLDNF resolution as an inference rule. You could say it's "based on SLDNF resolution" I guess.

I do this a lot (old test equipment) and have about a 50% success rate. There are many corners of ethernet, RS232, etc that aren't emulated very well by the virtual hardware. Timings, side-channels, and permissions are the major offenders. Permissions especially compound the problem because host security mechanisms intentionally override VM security mechanisms.

For instance, last weekend I had to figure out how to get RARP packets through the windows firewall, and even though I eventually got the setup working the complexity was not encapsulated by the virtual machine abstraction.

With false claims like the ancestor here being commonly made it becomes plausible that software written in rust could be faulty at a higher rate than in less safe languages, specifically because of the lack of care and dismissal of risks (plus ecosystem considerations).

I wouldn't go so far as to argue that it is at this point. But I think rust advocates probably ought to stop arguing as though it's axiomatically true. Maybe Mozilla could be talked into funding an academic study comparing defect rates in rust vs other languages used for systems programming.

Beyond substantiating the rust-improves-reliability trope, it could also identify areas for improvement where it doesn't.

Jordan Peterson has highlighted this many times. As he puts it: in Scandinavia, which has gone further than any other country in promoting gender equality, as equality increases, the differences between the genders (interest, careers, other pursuits) INCREASE, not the other way around. This came as a big surprise to many.

> For frontend, you use transpilers or polyfills to smooth over the differences between browsers. You then package these up, with rollup or webpack or whatever, and deliver to the client.

You still have to identify which polyfills you need, add them in, test them, etc. Polyfills are also quite buggy especially for new features from my experience. Also, the fact that you're typically running your build, packaging, linting, testing etc. on Node for your frontend code, says a lot.

> My experience is that once you add backend to your list of supported targets, you have to get quite a bit of new tooling in place.

When is that really even a consideration though? When do you actually need to deploy your frontend app to Node? If you have common model code, or say, input validation/sanitation, business logic, etc - that can easily be identical for both browser and Node.

> Backend code is generally not packaged before running, imports are done at runtime rather than build time, etc.

That really depends on your setup. You can do imports at runtime or build time for both Node and browser. If you're transpiling the setup is pretty much identical.

> I don’t know what kind of point that is, because it doesn’t matter to me that sometimes the frontend and backend will happen to run on the same engine.

How do you run your unit tests, your static code analysis, your packaging and traspiling? Do you run it in the browser or in Node? There is no fundamental difference between JS of the same version in Node vs Browser. Any browser specific or Node specific libraries/features you use are generally not part of any stable JS spec.

> it was super rare to see any code shared between frontend and backend.

Well I'm assuming these are different applications, so that's expected. I don't know why you wouldn't share your model definitions and/or validation/sanitation code though. People do this even for backends/frontends written in different languages.
All I have to say is "bravo!". Geometric constraint solvers are vastly underused and any vector based drawing tool ought to have it.

I find it interesting that you tend towards SMT solvers instead of gradient descent solvers. Is it because you want to avoid having to specify approximate solution? CAD tools get away with this because the draughtsman is providing the rough starting point.

Also, as a further question? Is it open-source/free software? I couldn't find any links.

This could be easily solved if moderation records were made public for public posts. Keeping the process opaque will never quell doubt about its impartiality. I know if I saw a record of what post was banned, which policy it violated, any appeals process records, and a list of previously banned posts by that user, I would be able to feel confident that the system was being managed well, and a strong defense for FB and its private judiciary to demonstrate its application of company policies.
Of course it makes sense. People compromise all the time but not buying the best possible thing. It saves money.

As a financial institution trust is everything. When they lied about savings accounts being SPIC insured, they lost a lot of credibility that will be near impossible to get back.

Let me agree with your second paragraph, then.

I've tried to include ActivityPub support on an app, too, and it was a nightmare, it kinda worked, but I ended up abandoning everything.
A few years ago I was on a plane wearing a sweater with the logo of the major tech company I work at. The person sitting next to me was excited to talk to me about how he was trying to develop his son into an engineer. His son was like six. He was buying his son toys and games that tried to promote an interest in technology.

He also had a daughter. Similar age. He was not doing the same for her.

Perhaps these children had such a strong idea of what they wanted at a very very early age and the father was responding to that. But I find it more likely that the father held an implicit bias about what jobs his son and daughter should have and was providing support to push his son into tech.

When these two people graduate college and the son becomes a software engineer and the daughter doesn't it will be their choice. But it is not clear to me that it wasn't sexism that produced the circumstances for that choice.
I think part of it is also the interviewing process. In general I like the idea of being interviewed by future colleagues but I have been in interviews where the interviewer had a really narrow perspective and there was only one right answer and only one valid approach to problem solving. I think interviewing should be taken seriously as a skill and interviewers should be trained more.
Many developers simply don't take the time to cultivate a network or stay in touch after leaving. If you move cities or jobs, your old pals and supervisors can't offer you much help with a new potential job, other than being a good reference.

This article echos some thoughts I've had about why accelerators like Y Combinator and Techstars work. An investor makes money on the really big successes, but these are impossible to predict. So venture capitalists are better off investing a little bit of money in every credible startup.

The article draws an analogy to index funds in the public markets, but I also see similarities with how Blumhouse Productions makes movies, or even how poker players decide their bets. The lesson in all cases is to invest a limited amount of money in a ton of reasonable projects, and then ride the few winners.

Durham is known as someone who never makes public statements. Over the decades, he has never made a public statement. So for him to come out and make this statement means he’s confident he has something which Horowitz didn’t. People need to realize Horowitz didn’t have much power- he couldn’t compel testimony, couldn’t subpoena people, he could only look at FBI and not other agencies, and he had to take people’s word - so if someone said they didn’t have a bias, he had to take their word. Durham on the other hand has all those powers and he can look at all agencies and also international intelligence (which he points out in his statement).

Also Durham is known as someone who’s gone after people from both parties so this isn’t something about political affiliation.
> Many women I meet today simply did not consider the possibility of an engineering career

And I'm sure many men simply did not consider the possibility of a career in female dominated professions, like nursing or elementary education. I think there's certainly something to the idea that we internalize stereotypes and that can restrict our options, but I'm skeptical that it generally explains large differences in career preference today.

For example, women were once stereotyped as not being doctors or lawyers, but that didn't seem to stop them from joining those fields en masse. If internalized stereotyping didn't matter enough to stop them then, for those fields, why does it matter now for engineering?

Well, our values and norms say that being an employee, that some 40 of our hours per week are owned by another person, is good and normal. Freedom has very little value it seems. I'm like you and I just love to be free. I do whatever I want to do! And I love it, I love my life. With the perspective of freedom, signing over 40 hours a week to some random guy seems like a totally completely ludicrous thought. I would literally rather live in a tent eating only noodles, but luckily everything seems to work out anyway :)

If you have this experience of "not being egocentric enough" a lot -- which I have had -- you might like to check out the developmental model called Spiral Dynamics, it put things into place for me.

I don't have a design, but I chime in on everything. I would suggest that your device should be compatible with existing VR headset gear and not too bulky. Maybe partner with Valve for the network access to allow gamers and game developers to integrate with it easily. There must be an open standard that some of this gear uses.
Your comment reminds me, I never found a perfect explanation what a negation inside the dependency array does. Does it simply negate the checked variable or just omits it from ever triggering eg useEffect? For example:

const useClickOutside = (ref, onClickOutside, isActive) => {
...
useEffect(() => {
if (!isListening && isActive) {
addHandlers(handler)
setListening(true)
} else if (isListening && !isActive) {
removeHandlers(handler)
setListening(false)
}
return () => {
removeHandlers(handler)
}
}, [ref, !onClickOutside, isActive])
}

I remember adding the negation here as the useEffect would fire needlessly (or wouldn't, can't remember), but wasn't entirely sure what it did. The whole hook is just for checking clicks outside an element.

Anyway, I agree with you that at times they can a bit too abstract for the fellow programmer. Without prior knowledge how hooks work it can be quite tedious to read (without proper documentation at least)

Medicine is, in fact, absolutely brutal with misogyny and every other kind of discrimination. People just can't leave it because they are $200k deep in debt, and just have to put up with it. It can be better if you end up as an attending with autonomy, but you still have problem with hospital management etc.

Even straight white men hate medicine and can't leave because of debt... so it's not a great comparison.
It wouldn't work. Most of the companies are hiring on prestige more than anything. They want to show that they have "the best." If companies in SV were really price sensitive, this region wouldn't exist. You wouldn't see engineer compensation regularly over 300k/yr.

Companies here believe strongly that being together in person is very important and so is prestige. Nothing is going to change that anytime soon.
