Thats the problem with todays workforce, everyone is a specialist now. Heck even Subway has "Sandwich Artists" now!

IMHO programming is even more specialized than most jobs, it requires constant learning to maintain a productive ability.
Eg. Before 2013 how many people were doing react native programming? How many people are writing Pascal code today?

BTW does anyone really believe Joe Biden is an athority on coding? He probably thinks a coder is a guy sending messages by tapping a CW Keyer!
What were the issues with skeleton/milligram that you are looking to fix? I have never used either library, but have considered them both in the past.
Task throughput isn't about the queue library. Your queue library should be fast enough, after that the bottleneck is the workload your tasks are doing. That's why you need prioritized queues so your slow long-running tasks run low priority and don't block the high priority tasks that should be fast and usually affect UX. We have 9 worker servers, each server has 6 CPUs, we process over 1M tasks per day.
I don't think Satoshi's opinion would be any different now. Decentralization as a primary goal and maximizing it at all costs is a narrative that grew after he left. It was originally a means to an end and things just needed to be decentralized enough to be resilient. Relevant Satoshi quote:

The current system where every user is a network node is not the intended configuration for large scale. That would be like every Usenet user runs their own NNTP server. The design supports letting users just be users. The more burden it is to run a node, the fewer nodes there will be. Those few nodes will be big server farms. The rest will be client nodes that only do transactions and don't generate.

As stated in a thread above, while it is not directly profitable for drug companies to cure diseases, it is profitable for their insurance agency cohorts. The current system does not totally dis-incentivize cures.
Be careful with this. AT&T shut down its GSM network 3 years ago. The ~only unlocked LTE feature phone I could find a year or two ago for my grandma (who wouldn't be able to learn how to use a smartphone) was an Alcatel Flip 2.

The timeline was really cool!

It felt a bit truncated, and odd at that. Why does it end with the publication of the troublesome and retracted _Lancet_ article, and focus on the author continuing his anti-vaccination efforts rather than identifying the harm the article caused?
I think you are saying that we should treat the accused as just that: innocent until proven guilty. Which is a very good policy. Especially since this industry sees a lot of attacks on the grounds of of "immorality"

But in this case we have moved beyond merely accused. We have a completed verdict in a real trail. And although the judicial system has flaws, in this case the weaker parties actually won against the more powerful. And in several instances too.

So I think it's reasonable people feel quite confident that the verdict was correct and that the good guys won here.
Unfortunately I cannot. I've mostly taught myself by reading exactly those same specs you're talking about and watching a lot of YouTube.

I know I'm a thoroughly inadequate Android developer because I've only ever worked on a small team at a small company and have had 0 tutelage, but what I've taught myself in the past 3 years boils down to:

Libraries to use: Retrofit, RxJava, Dagger2, Room

Use AndroidX over support/compat whenever you can.

Kotlin is amazing, though I'm still learning. If you know Java then Kotlin makes a lot of sense.

Use constraint layouts so that when you try to dabble with AndroidX motion layouts you'll have an easier time.

MVVM is commonly accepted architecture, and I like it personally.

Use single activity architecture: 1 activity with many fragments is the industry standard (or it should be). Some exceptions exist but mostly that's how it works.

XML files are your friends and editing them directly is faster and often easier than the Visual Builder in Android Studio.

Be sure that when you install the emulator you have it integrating with HAXM or HyperV or whatever they have it integrate with these days: it'll make debugging on the emu a lot less painful.
They’ll still buy the next game though so their outrage doesn’t matter.
"Check Airman" -- likely a 3rd pilot in the cockpit, probably for observation/rating. Since this is a 9+ hour ETOPS* flight (over-ocean), there should be at least 4 pilots on board anyways. Airline ground flight ops will also get involved.

That's just highly advanced irony; using the word "literally" non-literally.
It's clear that social improvements could help education but I get a sense that there is more to it than that.

In Rhode Island, for instance, about 34% of students meet or exceed the expectations of English language arts and 27% for math. These students have been set up for a very difficult future.

Rhode Island is about as nice, safe, and quiet as a large human settlement has ever been (obviously not without social problems).

We're not going to solve the human condition, and I just wonder how best to move forward given that (in RI specifically one might start by fixing the buildings, but that's another story: https://www.providencejournal.com/news/20191215/providence-s...)

It's not disrespectful, it's a fact of life.

Any photo, any video that is shared/stored on a device you don't own, will almost certainly end up eventually being shared outside the originally intended circles.

It doesn't even matter if the person or company you're dealing with fully intends to keep their word. The nature of all data is it leaks over time.
That's some admirable persistence by the author... I gave up on Flutter (for now) right after installing, having to accept (and supposedly read first) about 10 licenses during the process and then failing to start basically the default app in the Android emulator with obscure error messages. What a terrible UX developers have to put up with these days... At least it was funny to let Android Studio analyze the code (the default app), yielding these:

FlutterBinaryMessenger.h
Typo: In word 'FLUTTERBINARYMESSENGER'
Typo: In word 'Implementated'
Typo: In word 'commuication'

Doesn't look like people actually use all these features much.
I am currently trying out logdna. Their charting is underwhelming.
Why the anger? The GP was not blaming the victim but giving a warning. Whether it be through scumbag criminals or a lost device, content recorded and uploaded digitally can often never be deleted.

They were sick individuals that exploited these women. Individuals like that will never go away so we need to be vigilant through enforcement of laws and education of the public.
Old farm tractors used what was called "farm oil" in the old days. Basically the cheapest form of fuel you could buy since it was effectively a byproduct of the refining process. It was closer to paraffin wax than diesel, solid at room temperature. In order to start the tractor there was a second tank with diesel that was used until the engine warmed up enough to melt the primary fuel. If your tractor stalled out and you couldn't get it started again quickly the fuel would solidify in the lines and you would have to light a fire under the tractor to get it started.
What useful information do you gain from asking about it?
AWS CloudWatch Logs has come a long way. The new Insights UI is great. No need for us to manage ELK for logs anymore.
Depends on the relevance of the course to the job.
As someone who hasn't entered the world of big business, this is an interesting perspective I haven't thought about. Thanks

To be fair, it's probably not subsidized by hoarding all of your data.
But then why look at total per year. Calculate the cumulative total since the start of the industrial revolution. That number is relevant for the situation we're in today.
For that price you might as well get a Palm. It’s tiny and runs android, but I’m keeping one as a minimalist phone for when I don’t want to use my iPhone - https://palm.com/

Uber needs some competition, hopefully this will lead to a better deal for drivers and riders
You make many good points, but aren’t being charitable to OP.

No one has disputed this was fraud, and a vile one besides.

And if OP intended to suggest equivalence between i) careless but informedly consenting teens having fun and ii) victims of fraud, that would be incorrect.

Telling people to be careful, however, is not blaming the victim. I don’t have kids, but this is advice I expect to give them.
Obesity is far more widespread than smoking and costs everyone far more money. Should we cut off fat people from healthcare too?
Possibly not the right place for this, but has anyone noticed how unreasonably complicated it is to code seemingly simple ML algorithms? For instance text document classification. I'd expect there to be a package everyone uses that exposes (rough sketch, but you get the idea):

interface TextClassifier {

train(documents: {contents: string, label: string}[], options: TextClassifierOptions): TrainingStats

classify(document: string): string

}

But instead everyone seems to want me to implement tokenization and stop word skipping and TF-IDF and etc etc etc. Which sure, I can do, but why should I? I thought that was bullshit busywork college classes made me do, not the industry standard. Perhaps this is revealing my JS background, where I expect there to be an NPM package for every conceivable oft-repeated menial task, is that just not the vibe in PyPI? I've been checking out classification through SciKit-learn and Keras, is there some wrapper package I've overlooked?
Nobel Prize-winning scientist Frances Arnold retracts paper
Yeah, I was amazed when I went to Microcenter recently. I had the impression of them as a discount Circuit City/Best Buy from the late 90s and early 2000s. The workers were more knowledgeable than the competition (basically just Staples, Office Depot, Walmart, Target and Best Buy at this point). The guy in charge of the computer hardware section really knew his stuff and was helpful.
I'm going to bet those GE Aviation technicians that they charter anywhere to fix planes are unbelievably talented, experienced and well paid.

Airframe manufacturers like Airbus and Boeing have similar teams (AOG – Aircraft on Ground). The logistics and skills are just staggering. Delta dented a 757 pretty hard in Azores last year and had it patched up and back in the US pretty darn quickly. Stuff like this is exactly why neither the Russians nor Chinese are any threat to the Airbus/Boeing hegemony.

So, if the new language is fundamentally incompatible with the old VimScript, why keep using VimScript? Lua already seems pretty fast, why not just make a fork where Lua is the default scripting language?

(Note, not considering JavaScript in the benchmarks seems like a pretty big oversight before making a conclusion of new default language.)
If you've already done the normal underground tour, there's also a late-night version where they talk about the seedy underbelly of early Seattle, i.e. all the prostitution and body-snatching and other assorted crimes. Or at least there used to be one.
I feel like it rather subtracts from the experience
Falling in love with an idea plus ignoring reality is the surest road to hubris and failure. Be religious about results, customer value, profitability and employee welfare, not ideas. Ideas are a dime a dozen; executing and pivoting into what works too often is stymied by ego and thousands of other self-destructive tendencies that increase the likelihood failure in millions of ways. There are very few ways to succeed, with a little help from happy accidents and flexible resilience under pressure.

Tauri: Framework agnostic tools for building highly fast and secure native apps
Sounds right, they describe this method in Alaska Crude, an interesting old book photo-documenting the development of Prudhoe Bay Oil Field.

The engine and gear oil would freeze solid. Required fires under differentials, oil pans, etc. just to get the oil liquid again.
In my experience, it's all cars in Canada- I've never seen one that doesn't have it (other than imports). I guess you could probably get away without it on the west coast.

Most cars do start though. It’s really a maintenance issue, where it’s bad for your car to start it at -30 (as the linked article says). In my experience, a newer car in decent shape will start consistently.
Google EOLed Chromebooks that were sold 3 years ago, they do not give a crap about maintaining a stable ecosystem.

These 3 year old Chromebooks don't even get Chrome security patches, you would literally be better off with any other laptop when it comes to security.
This is true in the same sense that grep is extremely programmable, but comparing grep to C would be strange indeed. Ethereum is a Turing complete VM, allowing you to build extremely complex systems (we, for example, are trying to build a more transparent and distributed directory for a Tor-like service), while Bitcoin lets you sort of control transactions a bit with what amount to something closer to "rules" than "programs" (due to the explicit lack of looping control structure).
I just saw a lot of premed folks that weren't too bright or too dumb that put in a lot of time but would end up close to the grade line and would do anything they could to get up over the top even though they probably deserved a b or a c based on their understanding of the material.
You're inventing a programming language? 1. That's awesome, seriously 2. What the hell real product are you working on that requires you to invent your own language lol?? I'm genuinely curious!
The app isn’t, but the rust bit is: https://github.com/cloudflare/boringtun

The workflow shouldn’t be anything too intense, you build a library, compile to the right arch, and treat it like any C library.
Back when I worked at Boeing they had the AOG (Airplane On Ground) crew to do this sort of thing. Their job was to be on call 24/7 and do whatever it took to get that airplane back in the air, and they pretty much had a blank check to do it.

Naturally, they were the best mechanics Boeing had.

An airplane makes money only when it is flying. When it is sitting on the ground, it loses money at a prodigious rate. A large focus of the engineering on the 757 I worked on was to keep that airplane flying as much as possible.

I understand that Microsoft has a similar crew they can dispatch to any customer to get their business software working again. This is how Microsoft is able to successfully compete against free software.
Funny enough this was actually an issue in the earlier days of a hardcore bigworld MMO I used to play called Mortal Online. Reds (gankers) would hang out near the boundaries and pop in out of nowhere. This was largely more of an engine limitation of UE3 as I understand it, and was eventually mostly worked around. Now many of the UE3 painpoints are softened with UE4 they have started Mortal Online II.
This needs to be higher up -- Nativescript is Flutter's biggest competition and IMO it's better than Flutter, because it doesn't require investing in Dart and switching to the Flutter "ecosystem" completely.
Do you mean to imply that would be hypocrisy in some sense?
I don't trust dart to exist long, but some ideas in it were worth reading about
Splunk can get really expensive. And there's something about renting your own data that rubs me the wrong way.
Prefix + ? will show you the current key map; it is searchable like normal text.

Not utterly comfortable, but helps most of the time.
it tends to obscure the actual logic the programmer intended, making code harder to read

for(int i = 0; i < vec.size(); i++)
// do something with vec[i]

That's even simpler and more in line with what vectors are usually used for, and when it comes time to debug, you don't have to deal with the template-hell that is the standard library iterator-framework. The for : may look simpler at first glance, but quick turns into a nightmare when you're trying to do some deep debugging (and if you haven't had to debug by reading the Asm, I think you haven't done enough C++...) because it obscures a significant amount of complexity which really shouldn't be necessary anyway.
Let's Sue the FAA to Stop Steve Dickson from Enacting This Bullshit Drone Law
You're so right, it really is talking past each other. That plus having the conversation in a way where we sort of pretend we aren't aware of the varying contexts.
My family was stationed near London for a time. My father told me later that once an airline pilot mistook a WW2 strip for the Heathrow runway (!) and landed there, using every inch of it to get it to stop. The strip was too short to take off from, so what to do?

They stripped everything off the airplane they could. Seats, interiors, galleys, everything. They put in just enough fuel to hop over the trees to Heathrow. He said they did it, but barely.
It’s pretty beautiful inside.
Wow. Maybe just use syslog for this case? It's designed for centralized logging
My opinion: I think supplemental is appropriate. Replacing instruction with computers isn't going to work. But existing instruction can be made much more effective with things like Khan.

I don't think my kids would have progressed as quickly with just me teaching them, and as a bonus it's taken less of my time. But they still need teaching.
The Germans in Russia in WW2 would use fires to warm their tanks and airplanes to get them to start.
Tangentially: Why do today's startups have the same magenta/purple gradients in design? Literally every contemporary website just reeks of the same cookie cutter magenta and purple aesthetics. From Firefox to Apple advertisements - so much purple. Don't modern designers introspect this trend?
They have videos of these woman stating they weren't under the influence of anything and explicitly giving permission for the videos to be used in any way.

I bet you there are plenty of women who walked away because they recognized the lie, either when asked to do that specific video or sooner. What the poster above you was attempting to do is possibly educate others about not being naive. That has real value that your virtue signaling doesn't.

And you're going to try and tell me that they were given drugs and alcohol before doing the paperwork. And I'm going to respond that I would never do that, and I bet you plenty of women recognized the problem and walked away at that point too. The fact that these women didn't have any of their defenses up means they were naive, and that naivete got them taken advantage of.

Pointing out that people need to be less naive is not victim blaming anymore than an officer telling you to keep your doors locked after you got robbed is victim blaming.
Two interesting links and an excerpt

https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/delta-airlines-uniform-...

https://www.terrellhogan.com/terrell-hogan-representing-mult...

“Unveiled in May 2018, the purple uniforms – because of the chemical additives and finishes – were supposed to be wrinkle-free, stain-resistant, waterproof and fire retardant, according to Delta employees and information supplied by the airline.”
If it was like the other students I knew who got 4.0s, the time it took them to go from 3.6 to 4.0 was at the expense of other much more enriching opportunities in life. There's hugely diminishing returns in perfecting ones report card, with regard to actual personal educational growth.
> Creating the Flutter application only took approximately ⅓ of the time it took to create both native applications combined. This proves how much time you save by using cross-platform frameworks

No, it absolutely doesn't.

This is like saying "Writing 'hello world' in Python took three times less time than writing it in C, therefore Python is three times more productive than C".

If that's what the author of the article genuinely believes, then they are clearly not qualified to comment about language productivity.
That’s weird.. aside from accepting licenses (which to me is fine), Flutter has always been a buttery smooth development process for me—much more so that trying to wrangle Xcode or Android Studio.
Brain Scientists Tap Secrets of Staying Healthy While Aging
> 7. Android has been replaced with Fuchsia with Fuchsia being able to run APKs built for android. Phone apps are mostly a combination of WASM apps with native UI. Most non-tech people are unaware as usual.

Can you expand on this? I know Google has Fuchsia as a backup plan but they're pretty hard to predict with "replacement" tech.

I'm mostly interested in your take on WASM though. I agree WASM probably goes heavy into the mainstream in 3-4 years and then becomes ubiquitous before 2030. But it also seems that Google and Apple would both want to prevent people from being able to escape their walled gardens on Android and iOS. Doesn't WASM disrupt that notion? Wouldn't they be more likely to use their power of monopoly to prevent this from happening on their platforms?
Definitely crossed my mind. It'd be easy enough to submit a legitimate app and then modify the content it serves to be something malicious. No idea if/when a follow up review might catch that outside of user reporting.

But in the scenario where apple decides to no longer allow OTA updates, you're just back to the extended review process that native apps have to go through, so I think the productivity gains make it worthwhile.
