I completely disagree. Many language learning tasks are just memorization. English spelling or grammar for example. There aren't rules, you just have to memorize it.

yeah, that's how I feel with flashcards/anki. After doing it a bunch, it's just there in your brain.

> Which is exactly why it's best to maintain an emotional distance. If you are looking for it to be fulfilling then in most cases you are going to be disappointed.

I do see your point but the difference is that in my perspective the emotional attachment to something I build lasts only as long as I'm building it. Once the thing is delivered, its up to the users to ultimately decide to use it or discard it. I think my emotional attachment is to the process of building things rather than to the thing produced by the process.

I do agree that if you want to see the thing you built get used then yes, very bad idea to get attached to that emotionally. But the way I see it, after its built its out of my hands.
I mean, there's reddit, but again the subreddit determines the level of filtering and quality.
It doesn't appear to be anything fundamental, just a number that makes the proof technique work out. As the authors point out, that dimension is only a condition to get some loose bound working, not a necessary condition generally:

It is possible to improve the factor K = 1728 appearing in Corollary 5.5, at the expense of introducing various technical
complications into the algorithm. In this section we outline a number of such modifications that together reduce the constant to K = 8 + ϵ, so that the modified algorithm achieves M(n) = O(n log n) for any d ≥ 9 (rather than d ≥ 1729).

That applies even to your original language. ~15 years after moving away, talking to family and friends at home feels... awkward. I can still do it easily, but honestly, sometimes I wish I could use English, even if that's not perfect either.

It's so much easier with friends who also moved out. We can switch to a more comfortable language for each thought or even mid sentence if you prefer a specific word choice.
> It isn't illegal if you don't get caught.

Illegal seems like the wrong word for this sentiment as it's legal status does not depend on being caught. If I were to rob a bank, it would be an illegal act whether or not I'm caught.

For server, definitely. For desktops, no: you have a thousand Linux variations that are a nightmare to support on large scale. It is hard enough to support 2-3 Windows versions in the same time, it is impossible to have an entire country on the same Linux distro and version unless you make it mandatory as in "North Korea mandatory".

> Google will be giving you problems that aren't on LC and they are actively testing for raw intelligence.

Where did this silly notion come from? If they were testing for “raw intelligence”, you wouldn’t have to have any CS knowledge to pass.
You don't have to be mean. Claiming that algorithmic interviews is a proxy for IQ is also probably something that the powers that be at Google "pulled out of their ass". I don't see any data that says it's correlated with standard IQ test scores. I'm skeptical that it is a good proxy since you can specifically study for these interviews. The IQ tests, at least in theory, should be attempted without preparation so as to reflect your "raw ability". Leetcode grind for 3 months is not exactly raw ability.

> don't work for Google, but I think you're making bold assumptions about how much a year or two of domain knowledge is worth to Google compared to a couple hundred k of stock.

I did. Google is so large the vast majority of engineers contain domain knowledge that is mainly just useful to their group. And if their group is undergoing layoffs, their domain knowledge isn’t too useful.

About the only useful things that a long-time googler will know when joining a new group over a noogler is the test infra and code review process.
That was a great read.

The purity of the approach is tainted (in a helpful way, not a bad way) by a note at the end:

> The most recent versions of our calculator explicitly track rational multiples of π and some other common irrational constants. This allows us to compute a rational result for sin(π/6) in radian mode, as we already did for sin(30°).

When I mentioned arcsines above, that wasn't a coincidence -- radians are convenient, but they're also impossible to measure exactly, and when your computation goes through a trig function, you may unavoidably lose the ability to state your results exactly (except by invoking a function name like "arcsine").

That isn't as much of a theoretical obstacle as it might sound like -- you can't state square roots exactly either, except by referring to the concept "square root". But they can be a little more conceptually direct -- trig functions are inextricably bound up with pi, and it's hard -- impossible -- to recognize pi when it appears in your input, unless it appears as the symbol π.
Scheme was inspired by Drew McDermott and Sussman's 1972 Conniver. Sussman and Hewitt also worked on Muddle (MDL), the implementation language of Zork!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Scheme_programm...

>In 1971 Sussman, Drew McDermott, and Eugene Charniak had developed a system called Micro-Planner which was a partial and somewhat unsatisfactory implementation of Carl Hewitt's ambitious Planner project. Sussman and Hewitt worked together along with others on Muddle, later renamed MDL, an extended Lisp which formed a component of Hewitt's project. Drew McDermott, and Sussman in 1972 developed the Lisp-based language Conniver, which revised the use of automatic backtracking in Planner which they thought was unproductive. Hewitt was dubious that the "hairy control structure" in Conniver was a solution to the problems with Planner. Pat Hayes remarked: "Their [Sussman and McDermott] solution, to give the user access to the implementation primitives of Planner, is however, something of a retrograde step (what are Conniver's semantics?)"

Simplicity through accident:

>25 years later, in 1998, Sussman and Steele reflected that the minimalism of Scheme was not a conscious design goal, but rather the unintended outcome of the design process. "We were actually trying to build something complicated and discovered, serendipitously, that we had accidentally designed something that met all our goals but was much simpler than we had intended... we realized that the lambda calculus—a small, simple formalism—could serve as the core of a powerful and expressive programming language."
> It basically gives domestic firms breathing room to survive and grow, versus being suffocated by the currently superior products or foreign firms.

Yes, I get that. It's basic tariff protectionism. Many countries have done, and continue to, do this.

Here in Australia we've done it for decades, but with no global success.

> The hope then is that in the future ...

I hope that isn't the official strategy. ; |

The stronger financial footing (also achievable via vanilla domestic success sans tarrifs) doesn't necessarily guarantee global success, especially if other nation states are adopting similar fiscal & trade policies ... which it's fair to say they are.

Coronavirus affected co-passenger; what to do?
You're point is addressed already in the article when they stated that the original 737s were grandfathered in before the new regulation came into effect. So no, they've successfully gotten away with it on older models but I do agree with the GP that regulatory agencies need to set a firm precedent to deter other manufacturers from playi g fast and loose with the rules.
I've found lots of scripts online to do it, but the issue is that we shouldn't really resort to scripting for this. CodePipeline already has a nice interface where I can choose the Elastic Beanstalk environment where I wish to deploy the code. Zero scripting required. Why can't they have a drop down where I can specify S3, and the Bucket name to deploy to as well?

After all, they offer S3 as a service where we can deploy static sites, so why not in their pipeline service offer an S3 bucket as a valid destination for the code?

My BitBucket pipeline I described above has less than 10 lines of YAML to define which S3 bucket to push the committed changes to, so already, a 3rd party workaround is 10x less code than your 'AWS only' workaround. This shouldn't be the case.

I don’t fundamentally disagree - but there is another way to look at it. Sometimes someone spends a huge amount of time learning something as deeply as possible, and they can be genuinely excited to share that knowledge. It’s hard to find a situation that isn’t stigmatized so the choice is to never try to share this knowledge (disappointing) or just decide to power through it, understanding that sometimes people will take offense or think less of you because of it.

It's not making anything obsolete. Nobody is losing anything.

This is a new feature, which they have chosen to make available to recent hardware only.

I suppose you could argue whether the performance features of new devices is really necessary for this new feature to work well (and what does "work well" even mean - is occasional choppiness OK? How low does latency have to be?) but old devices are not losing anything because they never had this feature to begin with.

Cool story, but a test that has some true negatives says nothing about its false positive and false negative rate.

Gayle has to convince you that an entire life’s work impacting hundreds of thousands of people’s careers isn’t deeply flawed (because that would reflect pretty poorly on Gayle).

Isn't that perspective represented by the first salesman? Both are seeing the same limited data and drawing a conclusion about business potential. The second salesman may be wrong, but their optimistic view is still a possible one.

Especially since we know shoes can be plenty useful in hot climates and are 99 percent about fashion anyway.

Hi everyone. I've been really busy lately with the new job and the new city and the new place. But, I took this time to make this little game. The idea came from a conversation at work. I've took the time to put all sorts of visual aids and feedback. Hope you like it.
Maybe, if you read a lot of Paul Graham essays and are seduced by the siren call of startups and VCbux. But I'm more captivated by the infinite possibilities of the thing sitting right in front of me. And I bristle at machines thousands of times more powerful than my old Commodore actively preventing me from exploring those possibilities without identity management, app signing, hooking up an even bigger computer to my small computer, et weary cetera.

But what do I know, I'm just a lizard person. My small computer is really a phone, an inherently social tool. Its manufacturer didn't intend for me to easily hack it, therefore I've really no right to.
Not the OP, but his or her situation is very similar to my own. There's a really good chance I would give my director a snarky "full truth" answer about my disaster as a family if asked.

For once, I think Boeing does have a point here. This is the same wiring used on the 737NG, which AFAIK is considered the safest (or one of the safest, at least) airliner ever. The point about rerouting existing wiring introducing it's own potential hazard also seems like an entirely reasonable consideration.

I know it's automatic that we assume Boeing is either nefarious or retarded in everything they do, but it's hard to see this as that big a deal when considering the bigger picture.
Apollo dev here, no it doesn't, not sure what some people are talking about.
This feels more like complaining that JavaScript keeps changing. Because it does. You can't expect what you wrote five years ago to run the same today.

So, are we bemoaning that we don't have an standard for the language? Akin to common lisp? For my part, that would be awesome. Though, you are likely to just relearn everything they did.

> I mean, there’s a lot of things JavaScript should get heat for, but this really shouldn’t be one of them. This is inherently an issue with any language that has floating point numbers.

It is inherently an issue with binary floating point[1]. It is not an issue with decimal floating point. In decimal floating point, 0.1 + 0.2 = 0.3 exactly.

JavaScript could have used decimal floating point instead – but that would be slower, since it usually has to be emulated in software – mainstream platforms like x86 and ARM lack decimal floating point hardware, it is only found on rare platforms such as POWER, System z, and Fujitsu SPARC – and even with hardware acceleration it is still going to be slower. JavaScript, like most languages, prioritises speed over obviousness in this area.

Alternatively, JavaScript could have supported both decimal and binary floating point, and beginners could stick to the more obvious former, and those needing high performance could switch to the later – but its designers decided (probably correctly) that the added complexity wasn't worth it. (Also, having two types of floating point numbers in a language would likely confuse beginners just as much as binary floating point does.)

[1] And hexadecimal floating point too, but that is rarely encountered outside of IBM mainframes, and also various other obscure obsolete systems such as Interdata 8/32 minicomputers

No I don't want you to put energy into making it sound happy. I want the truth, and I'm divided on my response. Is the parent Q an example of "how things go bad" or "here's the hard truth".

My response tries (though based on your response failed) to answer both questions while staying supportive of the person in responding to.

Your are correct, and I'm confused by the part you choose to quote however. As my sentence preceding it

>Shit happens, if you're looking for happy things from your employees don't ask them these questions.

It feels like we're agreeing, but it feels like our tone is getting lost over text and comes across as disagreement.

I can relate the to sentiment. I moved away from my family, avoid taking to them when possible, and generally do not want to talk about family at work. My manager does not ask these questions, and when I'm struggling I don't know how he covers for me when I turn into an ass.

It’s not that reading is literally the only possible way to get the same kind of linguistic input to the child. I’m sure listening to an expert storyteller, watching a puppet show or play, listening to someone reciting poetry, having a thoughtful conversation with an adult while looking at some wordless artwork, singing songs together, etc. can be similarly stimulating.

The thing is: it’s hard to find actors for a play in the child’s bedroom at night. It’s hard for parent to come up with 200 different well-plotted stories at the appropriate level with visual props. Etc. But after 2 years of daily practice I can read a picture book decently (including funny voices, etc.) while half-asleep and consciously thinking about something unrelated with half my attention.

The kind of logical reasoning, grammatical variety, vocabulary, etc. used in books is not literally impossible to imitate with some other medium. It’s just a lot more work and in practice not really done.

Great, glad this worked well for you. I agree with your point on the visual feedback. Depending on which tab you have active, it will always show the newly created tag on the list when created. However, maybe a short-lived toast message could work better here.

You're correct, the hotkeys won't create a tag when the video is paused, instead it will start playing the video on first press then you'd need to press it again to actually creat the tag. If you want to manually create tags without playing the video then this can be done on the tracks interface. The "+" button in each track will display the modal to do so.

With simplified sharing, would you expect to show only the video without any of the tags and tracks on display? There are existing layout options you can customise such as hiding the tag/track listing and the tagging controls, even resizing the video. However, the play button just plays the video as normal. I think what you're suggesting with the play button only playing the tracks when shared in "simplified mode" would provide a cleaner interface to the end user without the additional components displayed.
