That could be true. But refusing to allow negative points, however accurate, about powerful people is a very strong political action.

My response would be:

Doesn’t matter what the output is.. fire the person who wrote that code.
If that’s what your codebase looks like, good luck finding and keeping people.

Also, yes bitops are nice and everything. But unless you’re creating games, or working on ffmpeg, you have no need for them except in certain fields to combine option for certain libraries
They can't can they? I thought the US has a shortage of tests and lacks capacity to process them as well.
Seems reasonably interesting, but I can’t get past the claim that they made 21 figma boards every day, including weekends, for 3 months.
I remember reading an article in NewGeography (which is often a counterpoint to CityLab, so take both with a grain of salt) discussing the Los Angeles subway expansion. LA actually saw declining use as the subway expanded, and this was mostly chalked up to lower income people being better able to afford a car and therefore not related to the subway expansion.

However another theory was that LA subway expansion is often accompanied by gentrification near stations. This makes the train less accessible for low income people, who are most likely to use it. In this way public transit could increasingly be a luxury good, chosen for the lifestyle benefits (no fighting traffic) rather than economic necessity.

For a very niche audience I think this is true, and this audience has a lot of overlap with startups.
although some devs do write c code the way they would write k code.

Including Arthur Whitney himself; this is one famous example of that, and is worth close inspection if you're curious about the whole concept of array languages in general:

https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Essays/Incunabulum

Observe how quickly it "climbs the abstraction ladder", making heavy use of macros --- if you try to read it like "normal" C and just jump into the middle it's definitely not going to be readable, but if you start at the top and "consume" the definitions first, it becomes surprisingly easy to understand. One thing that stands out is how it makes almost all the loops implicit, via the DO macro.
Go and proceed where your heart leads you. Just dive in.

I can only speak of myself, but if you are interested in security and haven't gave Electron a try, I've written an open source template that could be improved upon: https://github.com/reZach/secure-electron-template

Oh, and be sure to cover your mouth if you cough! (And politely yell at people who cough in their hands :) )
I'll bet they did. Or, if they were proactive/out performer, they changed it to 4 or 5 and just solved the problem for the next 20-30 years.
Any favorites you'd recommend?
> since a photon can only have a single frequency

The current interpretation of E=hf is what suggests that a photon is the elementary particle of light, and that a photon can only have a single frequency so I dont think that is a fair critique. She is trying to point out that E=hf and the current interpretation is wrong and is not assuming it's true in her analysis.

> DIMENSIONLESS

Although this is an aside to your point, can I hear your thoughts on using the dimensionless fine structure constant in equations?

Following your reasoning are we not allowed to use radians (an SI unit) in equations either?
AMT is not available with their Z, B and H chipsets. Leave us with only the downsides.
You believe that magic ad-hoc random variables are more plausible? And that somehow for whatever non-causal (so magic) reason they follow the same probability distribution?
This is clearly epistemologically weaker, but seduce more the wishful thinker mind.
Its easy to forget that Attlee was Churchill's deputy during the ww2 and that the various labour leaders who led govt departments (Morrison, Gaitskell etc) or in opposition (e.g. Bevan) in ww2 established their legitimacy to govern post-war. Similarly When Churchil was re-elected back to power in 1951 he recognised that Attlee's government key achievements like the National Health service (whch Churchill had originally fiercly opposed) were for the benefit of the country and did not dismantle them. Attlee and Churchill in some respects had combination of both war and peace time leaders that isnt always recognised.

(Edit: clarity and spelling)
Sure it can be misused, but honestly, all the macros I've seen so far make sense that they are macros and they make things easier to read and write.

I'd rather have a small simple concise 1-liner, than being forced to write 20 lines of code otherwise.

In Go you have `if err != nil` on every other line it seems and that makes things hard to read. The `try!` macro which later became the `?` makes things much easier to read IMO. Especially when you have to drill into something nested.
As a Democrat-voting libertarian with very Republican family, I think Jonathan Pie encapsulated it perfectly just a few days after the election: https://youtu.be/GLG9g7BcjKs

The truly sad part is that the Democratic party seemingly hasn't learned anything in the last four years, and are well on their way to dooming us to another four years of Trump.
It's not hard to discover their motives if you really want to know. We aren't trying to keep it a secret.

Everybody got a good landing in the pilot's sense of a good landing being one you walk away from. Think of your boss, all the people you work with and ever have. And they all suceeded.

So crisis, no. No way everybody pulls it off if it were a real crisis. But damn it made sales easy by consultants to all of the above who spent big. "Planes will drop out of the sky!"

A very powerful way to sell is through fear. We got sold the iraq war on weapons of mass destruction that could kill us in our beds here! And this was used and abused by consulting firms to make sales to managers and boards of directors who have no clue what a computer is and what it does and think hackers can whistle the launch codes etc. That fear based sales job happened on mass and was a vastly bigger phenomenen than y2k. But having said that there were so many people who bought the fear sales job that employed them that they still believe it. Many will post here about it and you can weigh it all up for yourself.

So yeah there were y2k issues, some got dealt with in advance, some didn't but nothing like the hype of 1999. Nothing like it.
They use the services provided by those companies to smugly advertise this attitude all the time.
Completely agree. Theres also a difference between the wartime CEO who issues order and doesn't stop to consider every word. He says what he means, sometimes that isn't what others hear, sometimes it is abrasive, sometimes it runs over people...and someone who is just verbally abusive.

I think there is a critical element here, which is that the wartime CEO must actually be leading. If you behave like that, but can also inspire people to work for the cause, then it can work. If you behave that way, but also just say meaningless, mean, and average stuff, nobody needs to be exposed to that.

Considering the capriciousness of the POTUS....I think asking might be the wrong choice.
They're not disturbed, they just want a strongman to force their will on the majority.

Namely, a white evangelical centered America held against the majority will by the electoral college and gerrymandering or even a one party state and foreign assistance if necessary.

Although, since today's Fox narrative is that the corona virus is a lie spread by democrats and the "ling media" to make Trump look bad, maybe "disturbed" is correct word.
Thanks, looks like you recall correctly.

I would not read a lot into the "awaiting peer review" bit. It normally takes at least a few months for an article to be reviewed, revised (if necessary) and re-reviewed. Things are undoubtedly fast-tracked for COVID-related stuff, but you can only do so much to speed it along.

Per their Table 1, the median halflife of an aerosol is about 3 hours, with a 95% credible interval of 1.81 of 5.45 hours, so it's not a a best (worst?) case number at all.

The plastic data in Figure 2 shows that it does decrease a lot by 48 hours (~1000x), but it's still above the limit of detection; they estimate the half-life to be 14.8 hrs. The 3 day claim is true, but is more of a best/worst case scenario
But have you tried DMT

I don't think that's the whole story. Golang is mostly picking up programmers from dynamic languages, according to Rob Pike, and Swift is gaining steam mostly because Objective-C while not monstrously complex like C++ is incredibly verbose.
The biggest mistake I think go made was not to include codes or domains. The error you get back is... a string. So you have to write tons of if statements just to return a bunch of errors you can’t handle.
I don't but they're generally disadvantaged people or from places with a bleak economic future. So it's probably something to do with that. Maybe feeling left behind and looked down on by the rest of the country? Emotional reasons like that are very commonly reasons for people being unable to see the other's point of view. They don't articulate easily and don't translate into simple measures like money.
The US sports industry shut down as soon as WHO declared pandemic. The declaration facilitates insurance claims for lost revenue and offers a sound defense in response to lawsuits for harm caused by cancelled events.

I suspect the TSA as a potential transmission vector was a consideration in restricting travel from Europe. This is not a scenario without existing contingency plans. Within hours of the WHO declaration, Doctors Without Borders was outside my local Walmart. That wasn’t a phone call earlier in the day.
Latter-day Saints suspend all gatherings worldwide, including worship
You're being really generous here. In most cases, we aren't even testing people who are symptomatic and whose BioFire panels come back negative, unless they also happen to have a travel history that includes an affected area overseas.
> After SARS, the TW government had a plan for this epidemic and a healthy skepticism for both official news and the WHO.

That's not surprising, since the WHO doesn't recognise Taiwan as an independent country and refuses to help them, I'm glad they were able to take their own successful measurements.

[The Pure Function Pipeline Data Flow v3.0 with Warehouse / Workshop Model](https://github.com/linpengcheng/PurefunctionPipelineDataflow)

1. Perfectly defeat other messy and complex software engineering methodologies in a simple and unified way.

2. Realize the unification of software and hardware on the logical model.

3. Achieve a leap in software production theory from the era of manual workshops to the era of standardized production in large industries.

4. It's the basics and the only way to `Software Design/Develop Automation (SDA)`, SDA is an innovative and revolutionary approach to develop large-scale software, just like `Electronic Design Automation (EDA)`, because it systematically simulates an integrated circuit system.
Windows is the same way: absurd numbers of options. I would not be surprised if Windows 10 had over a million configuration settings between regular panels, policies, and the registry.
That doesn't follow; part of the point of planning ahead instead of diving in, is to foresee roadblocks down one path and choose a different path, avoiding the roadblock and the need to get past it.

If you need investor money for a fast growth company, are not sure whether you can get it, but dive in, you might fail when nobody invests. If you realise that finding and convincing investors is a roadblock for you, you can choose to save more before starting, pick a slower growth approach or different goal or different funding model which doesn't require investor money at all and sidestep the problem.

I've been trying to avoid looking at my bitcoin portfolio lol. I agree the volatility in its price makes it far from ideal as an alternative currency. That being said what keeps me invested (a relatively small portion) is looking at places like Venezuela and a few other pockets of areas where the monetary system has collapsed or undergone hyper-inflation, bitcoin is being used as a means of exchange, albeit still rather limited. That goes to show the proof of concept works. Hence I think there is somewhat of a chance that there could be a more widespread use case for it, especially as the ecb and possibly the fed start flooding the markets with liquidity again.
Thank you for sharing these.
Hey, they fixed it! It's amazing what 2 months can do. The previous version had some pretty borked handling of public timelines.

Having said that, it still requires a bit of hackery. There's no way to get rid of the home/landing page if there's the one user account, so you have to do a bit of php/apache/nginx/whatever magic to redirect past it to your user timeline.
Sounds great in theory.

What we see in reality is that append-only database is unusable without making additional "projections" or whatever you call them, databases that are ready to be queried/updated, with maybe specific denormalizations, indexes and so on.

And oh, btw, those later databases are not "imutable".
Strongly agree, especially when watching season 2

We kind of do some of these already since we're a large firm but we unfortunately don't approach anywhere near the "make it work remote first" level.

Backlinks are one of the stronger ways to improve SEO, and there's a million things you can talk about but I've been out of the website space for about a year but a good resource to go to is Google pagespeed insights.

Beyond backlinks, you would do good to implement fast load times and cache the resources that you can. Once you max out technically, focus on being honest and get honest people talking about your product.

No, she hasn't recovered and still under observation according to the ongoing briefing from DaeGu (10:30AM KST, March 13)
agile went wrong as soon as it went "agile". The manifesto was a nice idea in principle, I think it would've been better for all the "agile" methods to not have come under a single umbrella term that made it so anything vaguely associated with any agile concept could be called agile in an "all inclusive" manner. But agile was never a specific process or way of doing things.
Ask HN: Is University of Waterloo a Reputable University in the United States?

If I see patent #'s on a resume from a college kid, I'm going to actually look up those patents.

And I'm only going to view them positively if they are genuinely novel. If I can trivially find prior art or its another of those "with a computer" software patents, it's going to be a very big red flag.

Of course, this is just my own anecdote, and you may very well be right in the broader scale.
The whole affair with Biden's son in a board position and Biden interfering in the investigation of the company according to testimony in a Ukrainian court. It's what Trump was discussing on the phone call he was impeached over. People try and call it a conspiracy now, but unless you want to say the NYT deals in conspiracies (they do actually, but in this case):

https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/09/world/europe/corruption-u...

Even if Biden didn't do anything wrong, in the public's eyes they see his son with no experience in that industry in a cushy, do nothing board position that pays in a month what the average American makes in a year. It smells like day old seafood.
Not exactly sure which method they'd use but seems like if they wanted to do it, they could put a lot more effort into figuring it out. I mean, Bumble, a dating app, does a simple (maybe too-easy-to-game) verification, but with so many banks having to abide by know your customer (KYC) requirements, then I think social networks could figure it out.

I'm generally skeptical of pop psychologically, but in this case her response seems valid to me.

There are a number of areas where it's widely believed that one must be a born X to be good at some skill. (Say, drawing, or mathematics).

The basic idea is that this is a limiting belief. People who think that drawing is amenable to hard work and practice grow more in that particular area.

But you can generally believe in the power of growth while also thinking that your least favorite subject (say math) is only for people with innate talent. In that case you grow in your "growth mindset" areas and plateau in your "fixed mindset" areas.

No, honestly probably not. The studies themselves may not replicate. But that doesn't mean that you can't measure such things better than we have.

An Infinity of Viruses (2013)
Amusing how books have to achieve a certain vintage before names from them become acceptable. I wonder if, in the year 3000, it will be acceptable to name a child Arwen and not have it thought of as weird. Or perhaps there needs to arise a cult around LoTR before that becomes acceptable. If Scientology enters the mainstream, perhaps children will be called Xenu completely normally. Maybe the name Jesus will be treated like the name Nimrod.

Then again, there is powerful normalcy-bias here. A name is acceptable if it is very similar to established names and if there is variance it's rarely among the established power class. So perhaps we'll need a massive disruption. The Scientologists will have to kill a large number of people and subjugate us to have names no longer just be James and Jennifer.

Or maybe we'll need a modern well-loved person to call their child Eliohann.

How is it at all pretentious. It’s a statement of fact. Most people are not interested in innovating. Most entrepreneurs in the US are merely operating a small business in a well-defined market (restaurants, construction , car repair etc).

There is a very small group of people that are thinking about these ideas at a higher level with enough conviction that they will act on it.
I’m genuinely curious why he thinks a wartime leader needs to yell all the time, whereas a peacetime leader doesn’t.

I would think that yelling is either effective, or not effective, in producing outcomes and that should be true regardless of external circumstances. But maybe the desired outcomes are different in the two times? And the effectiveness of yelling varies by desired outcome?

I find that explanation unlikely, but possible. More likely he likes to yell, and is looking for justification.
