Not a shock. Nixon era politicians have been seething over having their hands tied by laws that effectively curb literal panopticon.

Trump and other right wingers (Rand Paul for one) are on record fuming over the laws that explicitly block political bribery. Hello Citizens United. Can’t be illegal if it’s protected speech!

Dems sells us out to the rich, equivocate over universal healthcare while families die off from curable disease, locks up peaceful whistleblowers, bomb other nations with impunity.

GOP abuses, murders, kicks puppies in plain view with impunity.

We police each other by making us fear for our jobs. HR is watching. Those metrics are not going up fast enough. We stare at screens that don’t have to watch us cause we watch them tell us how it’s all just right. Pray to the all mighty profit margin harder!

Brave new world you got there.
In go, composition has a special feature where if you include another type anonymously in a struct, the methods of that type are automatically available for the struct as well. It is also possible to "override" these methods at the struct level and call the anonymous member directly.

So you can get some of the conveniences of inheritance. The behaviour is of course different, because the composed member has no way of knowing the identity of the including struct.

I've worked at a small, mid-sized and large company, and unlimited time off worked the same at all three places.

Unless it is an emergency, communicate early and often, and it is not a problem. That way, you and everyone who depends on you knows what to expect (or not) and when to expect it (or not).

The best part about it is not worrying over small details, like if I take my time off in the summer and fall, will I run out of PTO before flu season hits this winter?

Yes, it is unfortunate that you dont have anything to cash out once you quit, and you might worry about taking too much off. As to the first, oh well, take the time off. As to the second, if you can't have an honest and fair conversation with you boss about your concerns regarding time off, you aren't going to have honest or fair conversations about a lot of really important work matters that process and time-tracking and firm clear cut rules won't fix.

Expect to be treated like an adult, act like an adult, and if you aren't treated like one, take advantage of the good market now and find a better job. That advice applies to a lot of maybe-maybe worries in the workplace for in-demand positions.
California has one way out:

California allows a domiciled taxpayer to be taxed as a nonresident of the state if they are outside of California for an uninterrupted period of at least 546 days under an employment related contract, unless they have intangible income of greater than $200,000, or the principal reason for their absence is tax avoidance.1 The employment related contract can be in another country or another state. The taxpayer is also allowed to have up to 45 days of presence in the state each tax year before they no longer can claim the safe harbor. A person can start filing as a nonresident on the presumption that their out-of-state assignment will last the required 18 months; but if for some reason their foreign employment terminates early and the 546 day requirement will not be met, any tax years for which the taxpayer treated themselves as a nonresident must be refiled as a resident and all taxes owed for that period must be paid.

There's no proof that an advanced civilization requires a complex supply chain. In fact one of epochs of technological progression that occurs after an industrial revolution could possibly be an industrial simplification where supply chains and manufacturing processes reach a sort of apex in complexity that leads to absolute simplification.

It may just be that such a developmental landmark is a prerequisite of a civilization reaching interplanetary scale and it may even be a great filter.

So... are you going to vote like a Californian, ruining those states, and then look for a new state? People sort of end up with the government they deserve, even if they don't like the result.

California would be great if it were filled with a mix of people from Texas, Wyoming, Oklahoma, West Virginia, New Hampshire, Florida, Iowa, Idaho, and Kentucky. The laws would be very different. There would be much more freedom, including lower taxes.

I have done the same for a few years now. No work on my phone either. I am not out of the loop, the loop is there whether I check for it now or at the end of the day, and got over the "Fear of Missing Out" pretty quickly.

Amanda wants two incompatible things. You propose to divert resources to her so she can have her way.
These resources do not magically appear; they are diverted from someone else, possibly by state minions backed by the threat of deadly force(tax collectors).
That's not all that empowering to the divertee; in fact, it rather resembles either theft or enslavement from that pov.

"We" have no duty to shield Amanda from the pain of unsatisfied greed.
Unless you want to introduce a principle that "The Princess Must Be Appeased"? (this is the principle commonly euphemistically rendered as "empowerment").
We should reject this vile notion!

Amanda must choose."We"(and when you say "we" I'm sure you aren't planning to be yourself among the compulsory donors) have no duty to shield Amanda from the pain of unsatisfied greed. To frame this as "force" is grotesque given your willingness to rob or enslave non-princesses.

To summarize, your attempt to privilege this whiny winner stands exposed as 100% pure emotional manipulation with a side of gynocratic entitlement. Shame! Shame!
While I don’t suffer the pressure problem in any modern products (though I did in much older products) I still regularly use the QC35 half mode because

— It’s not affected by wind noise, whereas the full mode is. So it’s great when walking outside.

— It’s also less affected by rubbing and scuffing against the external microphone, so I use it when trying to rest on flights.

— And sometimes I prefer having that little bit more ambient sound, like when walking in a shopping centre. Too much noise cancellation can result in too little awareness of surroundings.

> You don't have to have a vague definition of good design or a vague definition of FP. Follow a strict but commonly agreed upon definition of both and derive a proof from there

There is no such definition, just like there isn't one for OO. You could of course make one up and then test it qualitatively, but that's far & away from a proof.

I don't believe a 'proof' for something like this exists, if you disagree, I challenge you to find such a proof, or link to any resource describing one.

> For example, one critique I heard a while back from Neil deGrasse Tyson on Al-Ghazali was that his writings is basically what caused the end of the Islamic Golden age, because the focus became on more on spirituality than intellectual pursuits afterwards.

In my layman's understanding of things, I would say that Al-Ghazli was not so much the "cause" as the final nail in the coffin. "Islamic science" had been twiddling over time for centuries, and Incoherence of the Philosophers was simply what put it to bed.

Toby Huff [1] puts forward the thesis that Islam was not really interested in science, and it was simply tolerated by certain rulers. There were no 'universities' as we understand them now, as the madrasas were primarily religious schools (per Huff) and it was all about memorizing and interpreting the Quran. So as time went on (the argument goes), after Islam became the dominant culture in a region, non-religious education institutions tended to dwindle. [2] And this wasn't unique to Islam: Imperial China was also fairly 'non-curious' according to Huff. In ~1600 China was probably more advanced than most/all of Europe, but the Jesuits could not get the Chinese interest in (e.g.) the telescope, and after that point scientific endeavours basically did not occur in China, and neither did technological ones—and so the Europeans were able to walk in a few centuries later. [3] See also Mughal Empire.

As one commentator I ran across put it: Islam never had the equivalent of an Aquinas that could reconcile Aristotle with the faith. A merging of Athens and Jerusalem (or Mecca) as some put it. Christianity was able to trudge on because there was no metaphysical conflict (especially when it came to Occasionalism and secondary causation; Aquinas and even Augustine before him rejected Occasionalism [4]), and so Natural Philosophy (aka, Science) was able to develop.

"And especially since it failed to do its job the last time"

It doesn't even make sense to say it failed to do its job. Its original job was to choose the President without direct input from the voters. Now that we have statewide elections, failing to elect the person with the most votes nationally is just how it works, unintended by anyone. It was changed long ago so it has no purpose or job any more.
I don't trust any property crime "stat" in any moderately sized city. Every single person I know whose had property crime happen to them which is in multiple cities and states doesn't even bother reporting it because the cops won't do anything so it's just a waste of time.
Perhaps a facet of infrequent exposure is that it makes the same event more impactful and therefore more effectively sensationalized?

I don't particularly fear a car accident, even though it's far and away the most likely thing to cause me physical injury. Several of my family and friends have been in car accidents, most are just fine. My chance of being awakened and assaulted by a burglar are unfathomably more remote, I've only ever come across it in movies.

As a result, I have a strong emotional reaction to the 0.001% chance of a breaking and entering and a weaker reaction to the 10% chance of a car accident. But I don't naturally want to spend a proportional amount on a safer car, I'm more inclined buy motion-activated floodlights.

If we lived in a lawless Wild West, I think we'd be more inured to the possibility of crime. Now that it's mostly a foreign experience it's easier to respond with fear instead of reason.
You're not wrong, but it has a different timbre when low self esteem is at the root of it, and that's what I was thinking of in particular.

You're basically attaching your identity (being okay with who you are, really) to a future event. One that you can influence but not really control. And I suspect it makes you easier to manipulate, and burnout all that much more powerful when it doesn't happen.

I think this is a quite silly question. I have Brugada Syndrome, and have come to terms with death - it doesn't bother me. I guess at that's because I've done it more than most, and because I could die in the next 5 minutes, or tonight while asleep, or when out walking or whatever.

The fact is everyone dies. There's no point worrying about when or how, it's going to happen regardless.
I have a friend who’s a physicist-turned machine learning researcher working on health issues. I asked him about why he decided to say an academic researcher instead of going to the industry where (to me) there’s clearly more data.

There are different kinds of homeless people.

Some of them might do well in such a setting.

But more than a few of them would be disruptive and ruin the land and ruin it for everyone else.

Generally, most habitable 'live off the land' type of places are spoken for already, no nearby property owners are going to approve of such a 'zone'.
Statistically, people are moving from rural areas and to urban areas. Rural areas tend to be conservative and economically depressed. Urban areas tend to have high paying jobs and be liberal or progressive.

Aside from a few state/city couplings(Omaha, NE comes to mind) a US "State" is a poor indicator of differentiated policy or ideology. People in Atlanta or Miami or LA or Seattle have a lot more in common with each other than some might think.

Moreover, it seems like you're attempting to paint the picture that a typically Democratic State is somehow worse off than a conservative one. I'm positive that a person born in Washington or California almost always has a better statistical and economic outcome than someone born in the Deep South, for example. So, it seems if I were correct(and I'm almost certain I am), the spade is doing something right.

> 2. Saying Yes to NoCode

> 9. Developer Tools

While these two may seem contradictory, I see this as a great trend for developers.

Developers of 10 years ago would focus on building common solutions like blogs and landing pages. Now there are slew of NoCode startups that allow non-developers to do it themselves.

This frees up developers to focus on more complex problems.

The Developer Tool startups of today should be asking - "what are the common tasks that developers are doing today, that will be easy for non-devs in 10 years?"

Perhaps my thesis if wrong, but that's what we're hoping to achieve at https://supabase.io

In our case the "complex task" is creating CRUD APIs. Creating these are monotonous and developers could be spending time on much more valuable tasks. We're starting to see this with the rise of amazing tools like GraphQL/PostgREST.

Other areas to watch will be the "simplification" of databases. Think "MS Access" for advanced databases like Postgres. Metabase is a good start here, focusing on the reporting aspect of the data. The next steps may be database design and data entry, - Retool seem like they could do well in this area.

Hey Will-- congratulations on the publication. It's very cool to see an algorithm reflected in the brain, and the turnaround (from idea to implementation to experiment) in... what, three years? is astonishingly fast.

On a more technical note, I was curious about whether the distribution is being approximated "properly" (in the sense of probabilities summing to one, no negative probabilities) via expectile regression.

>If you are going to continue with this subtle sexist talk (implying men are better than women at STEM)

You're probably unlikely to find too much on the subject - it's dangerous to academic careers to even propose research which could potentially justify any aspects of classical sexism. I'd just like to point out three things:

1. You're aware of the massive differences in physical capabilities, on average, between men and women, right? Which make men and women better suited, on average, to certain tasks? Why would sexually dimorphic specialization stop above the shoulders?

2. This isn't about inferiority, it's about specialization over thousands of generations. We see it in practically every other sexually reproducing species. The fact that humans have some ability to override instinct doesn't preclude gendered differences in average behavior.

3. This doesn't say anything about individual ability. We are talking about distribution statistics. What that means is that differences in average performance lead to different proportional representations in various fields. That doesn't justify discrimination or mistreatment, but it does suggest that, say, forcing gender parity in industry is unrealistic and potentially harmful.

Instead of whining about lack of disclosure, decent journalism would take what info they have and compare it with existing battery tech. And if there's nothing to say in that vein, don't write the article.

I don't have any issue with opinions, or bias, per se, but don't make the whole damn article about your opinion regardless of how valid it is. If this invention is garbage and the press release too, fine, don't write the article.

"our battery demonstrated hundreds to thousands of cycles with 80 percent retention of its original capacity"

Fine, so given this information, is it (or how much is it) definitely/possibly better than normal production lithium batteries?

Maybe someone who didn't want to write the article was forced to? That would explain a lot of journalism these days.
