A lot of EU countries are not issuing standard/typical/normal visas at all. You can most likely forget getting a student visa altogether. At this point, you cannot even legally enter the EU (Schengen zone + more) without being an EU citizen or resident, unless you are a third-national humanitarian aid worker or diplomat, basically.
This is terrible branding. At first I thought it was called soundART, which would be a million times better. Hell, I'm pretty sure you could get away with switching those two letters and nobody would notice. Rebrand ASAP! How many artist are really going to want their own personal brand to be associated with the term rat?

I can understand tight editing and skipping over redundant parts but this goes way beyond that. Take this video from the article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uBDNhe6Gkk

It starts with "Guess what's for dinner everyone <cut> shitty mall curry in a jar <cut> [puts bin on table] <cut> he shoots he scores <cut> almost... [intro] What's going on <cut> we're back in the kitchen saying <cut> no to jar sauce [cut to filtered dramatic zoom] neveee <cut>" etc... They should add an epilepsy warning at this point.

Many of these cuts don't actually cut anything, they're just changing the crop to make the video more dynamic. I find it headache inducing. You never have a continuous shot that lasts for more than 5 seconds or so. Everytime he naturally takes a breath while talking he cuts. Every time a shot lasts for more than 5 seconds he changes the crop to make a dramatic zoom on his face or something.

It's a very popular type of editing on Youtube as far as I can tell, but I find it unbearable to watch.

I do think this topic is something it doesn't hurt to be mindful of. However, it's pretty clear to me that the author's first language is not English. One of my mother tongues has gendered pronouns, and I find one of the simplest tells that a speaker's native tongue isn't English is the inappropriate usage of gendered pronouns. In fact I don't recall a single time I've heard a native English speaker use gendered pronouns in this manner (not to mention a company is a collection of people -- so there isn't even a singular "they" discussion to be had here).

So my main issue with this discussion topic is not that we shouldn't use more inclusive pronouns generally, it's these discussions seem to always ignore that folks whose mother tongue has gendered pronouns automatically think about objects differently when talking about them. For instance, a table being masculine (at least in my mother tongue) is not a conscious judgement of tables on the speaker's part -- it's a kind of classification that your brain does on autopilot. It should just be seen as the garden variety grammatical slip-up that it is, and treat it as such (ignore it and move on).
That's true. My point was college isn't necessarily 4 years of chilling and partying for everyone, which is weirdly how everyone I talk about seems to frame this debate. Some of my elders don't even believe college wasn't 7/24 frat parties, ideological indoctrination and protesting.

EDIT: Also, to be clear, masochism was part of the problem. In college I thought I wanted to be a professor so I was working hard for grad school so I can get into a good PhD program. I was also doing a lot of research. Then I realized I liked being an engineer, and I don't have money to go to PhD. I DEFINITELY didn't need a near 4.0 GPA and taking ALL the hardest CS/engineering/math classes to get a six figures job.

Writing Python inside your Rust code – Part 2
I've feel that neural nets might do a better job writing articles than people who do it cheaply on fiverr for content farms.
How do you handle very complex and integrated architectures like a monorepo with many microservices?

How do you run your layer file locally?

Can you describe automated tests in a layer file?

I built something similar[0] to this for integration testing and those were my biggest hurdles. At a previous job where all of the code was python/node/java I was also able to generate cross-service end to end code coverage from these tests and that feature was extremely helpful as it helps you remove redundant tests.

Your service looks very polished and I'm extremely impressed someone is taking this idea to market.

This Cantillon effects keeps getting mentioned even though it's well outside of mainstream economics. And its convoluted explanation is not accurate in modern financial markets. The reality is much simpler. The FED intervenes by buying financial assets which directly benefits people who hold these financial assets: Either by selling to the FED or through the increase in their price. Poor people without savings (and without financial assets) don't benefit. It's as simple as that.
Is this set to music somewhere? I've been writing in lisp since using Lisp 1.5 in college; nearly 50 years.
Any other tips besides apt-listbugs? I've long eschewed Debian because the stable branch is painfully so, I had some bad experiences with testing years ago, and I've felt that unstable was too risky to use as a daily driver.

The other sticking point is ZFS. Guess I'll have to spin up a VM and play around a bit before I switch to Pop! or straight Debian.

Canonical's obsession with snap is about to push me away from *buntu, and I'm ready to bail out. I had misgivings about snap from the first I'd heard about it, and my misgivings are turning out to be well-founded.

> I much prefer Cs solution to this problem; you can write multiple literals in sequence and they will be concatenated:

Python also allows that.

The semantics are completely different and not at all incompatible (even though Java doesn't support implicit concatenation of sibling literals), string blocks means you don't have to bother with explicit newlines and are way more convenient for long blocks of embedded text, especially when newlines are significant and frequent (e.g. wrapped paragraphs).

Java also seems to be getting a slightly more flexible version of Swift's processing, so it will automatically dedent based on the indentation of the line containing the trailing delimiter, or the least indented line of content within the block. Meaning you can write

text = """
hello
world"""

and get "hello\nworld". Though it is apparently forbidden to have non-whitespace content on the same line as the opening delimiter:

> The opening delimiter is a sequence of three double quote characters (""") followed by zero or more white spaces followed by a line terminator.
If software is the new bureaucracy and this app can put you in a detention center, oof. How do you get out when the software is wrong?
Yes! The thrill of funding something and then paying a corporation who took little risk when the product is finally ready.
Java is getting other things, text blocks don't have to be excluded due to those

1. Records are already there AFAIK

2. Structs (Value types) will come as part of Valhalla

3. Records are the impl of dataclasses

4. Pass by value is already there for primitive types. Valhalla might bring that to structs also.

Java is also getting a lot of good stuff like coroutines(Loom), and Panama(seamless FFI).
You are correct, right now Arm has better software support etc.

But how long will that last? The competition is not happy paying Arm large fees, and it may well happen in the long run that RISC-V will have a better eco-system. 5 years? 10 years? Arm is a small company (~6k employees) in comparison with some of its competitors.
Arm giving free access is a sign that they are beginning to worry!

Moreover there are geo-strategic considerations for some countries: what if global tensions rise and Arm gets strong-armed into withdrawing from selling to e.g. Baikal or Huawei?
On the other hand I really liked the interview. He gives straight answers, no bullshit, no need to read between the lines. It's his own version of it but looks quite sincere precisely because he is not painting himself as a hero, just someone who didn't fit with how things are being run.

Right, please bear with me since I'm pretty new to setting up pricing plans. I've been learning through observations but am happy to listen to feedback. I'll try to clarify here:

It's free to get started and use the product in private for however long you want, only pay when you want to publish the pages live.

The pricing plans are relative to the monthly plans. For example, the Plus monthly plan costs $8 per month or $96 per year. Plus yearly plan is 50% off, so it costs $4 per month or $48 per year. $48 per year is equivalent to 6 months of what you will pay for if you opted for the Plus monthly plan hence it is 6 months free. The same logic applies to Beta Special 75% off.

Hope that clarifies! I figured I need to work on the wordings better—thanks for sharing your thoughts, really appreciate it.
Completely agree. The Fed is one of the few institutions that has bipartisan support so its allowed to fulfil its mandate and the 'plumbing' so to speak works well when its trying to pump money into markets. But as we've seen getting money into people's pockets is more challenging in the USA as that bit of infrastructure wasn't seen as needing investment due to the way USA normally reacts to market shocks. (And by infrastructure I think of benefit systems running 50 year old bits of cobol, sending benefit payments via cheques, patchworks of state benefits instead of universal coverage etc.)

I think at this moment it is fair to say, that Java WAS a slow moving language. Now it is catching up quickly.
interesting... so `inline class` would behave like `struct` in C#? Took them a while (and I'd imagine it's one reason why game engines like Unity, Godot etc. chose C#), but cool!
I was having some symptoms that I couldn't identify a cause of, and after a friend mentioned it, I got an indoor CO2 monitor (to accompany my CO monitor), and what it shows is interesting albeit inconclusive.

On a daily basis, it shows lows of maybe 400 ppm, which is similar to outdoors. Usually it shows highs of maybe 1000 ppm overnight, which I think is from exhalation, unless it's my furnace. But sometimes it gets up to 1500-2000 ppm, which seems kind of high, and makes me wonder what the cause is or if there are any health effects.

For a while, I thought that the high levels were causing headaches and mental impairment, but the correlation seems to have broken down, so maybe it was just a coincidence.

Anyway, I think that realistically, direct health effects of CO2 are not going to be the most relevant aspect of climate change, since people generally do tolerate living indoors.

Facebook's multi-class-voting share structure is an artifact of Delaware corporate law. The DGCL changes all the time.

The fact that some group of investors agreed to that structure in 2012 does not mean that Delaware is obligated to lend its coercive power to enforce it in perpetuity. In fact, Delaware is under increasing pressure to void such arrangements by amending its corporate law [1].

Most evolution on the platform is in the VM and tooling rather than the language, and the language is conservative and slow-moving by design (it was part of the "charter" back when Java was created). This has worked very well.

OTOH, Java programmers look in astonishment at how far behind most other platforms are in GC, compilation, and observability.
It's that right!? Hmm, it must be the port view. It may be an error on my end—will check it out. Thanks for the heads up!
If we think of public funding as early stage (extremely risky) investment, then it's more like the lottery that angel investors and vcs play: most investments result in little to no public good but some will make up for bad investments.

I definitely think we should push for fairer and more transparent public investment in science, but saying that all downstream benefits from publicly funded efforts cannot be privatized just seems to tilt incentives in the wrong direction.
Quite a few sources. But please, school me in (1) where I got my information and (2) what your preferred "opposing sources" are and say, and why they are credible?

For what it's worth, I do seek out "opposing information" (is that a bit like "alternative facts?"). Much of it has been fairly non-credible because it seems to change frequently, more like whiplash. For example, the CCP has made a big show of shutting down the wet markets, only to allow them to reopen quietly, despite neither bats nor pangolins, the likely carriers of SARS-Cov-2 to humans, being sold at the wet market in Wuhan.

If you're trying to convince people not to take me seriously, or are trying to convince me of that as well, then would it not be simpler (and cost fewer downvotes) to point to the errors in facts I present or my reasoning?

I'm an actuary and data scientist at a major life insurance company. It depends a lot on the product and business line. For employer-sponsored coverage, zipcode, age, sex, industry, salary, and collar (white/blue) are the major underwriting factors that determine what your employer pays in premium.

For individual life products (term, whole life, etc), it's much less about gaining an advantage from an underwriting perspective. A lot of it is marketing, product design, and investment strategies. State farm's products are pretty expensive compared to the rest of the industry, but their "one-stop-shop" approach and bundling discounts have given them a pretty good marketing niche. Other carriers have their own niches, e.g. using tax-havens to reduce capital requirements. Some invested in very long duration bonds at the right time, and are reaping the benefit of higher yields (on reserves aka float) compared to their peers.

And if the article is still down, the answer to the question of how life insurance companies make money is underwriting profits (charging more than they pay out in claims) and investing in high-quality fixed income investments. Sometimes less scrupulous companies (often owned by private equity firms) create tax arbitrages via offshore havens and tax loopholes.
I agreed, I like these patterns but I never encourage anyone to start with these patterns, First build a simple monolith to handle the situation, if there is a hard problem then and only then these should be applied, But these days I am seeing quite opposite though, I don't see enough evidence to start with these patterns and always use them as rule of thumb .

I'm glad you've found a metric that suits. Is this better or worse than the Afghanistan/Iraq war? Personally, I find the war(s) with its dodgy dossiers and myriad war crimes and everything that came out of it much worse but maybe I care more about people being bombed than people committing crimes like selling bank account numbers. How strange.

Thank you very much. Same goes for you, thank you for sharing your arguments and reasons, I learned a lot from reading others' comments. I can't promise immediate implementation because it'll take some time to do it but thank you for raising this up! I think I'll eventually do it sometime soon.
I worked in insurance for approximately 5 years, and had a foray in reinsurance for 3. To this day, I find this to be an amazingly complex and interesting industry from an cash-flow perspective.

Insurance is also a weird product from a consumer stand-point: for most people (at least in Canada) there is little to no difference between company offering. If you take P&C, there is a lot of competition for pricing, and a lot of the "end-stream" innovation is about containing costs (fraud, company-owned repair shops, avoiding litigation). Loss ratio is probably the word I heard the most from my actuarial friends.

P&C and group insurance, since everything is renewed every year, see a lot more disruption and effervescence in the market. It's harder to disrupt life insurance when you're on the hook for 10, 20 or even 70 years. I think that participating life was a game changer, and even then, its popularity is really tied to the market. There is a lot of research being done as well to better assess risk without being invasive (fluids, extensive questionnaires, etc.). But when you're on the hook for a long period of time, your mistakes along the way tend to stay for a long time. And going under is -- I think -- worse than any other industry. You pay premiums to insurance companies because you trust they'll be alive in the future!

Speaking of loss ratio, most companies are also now heavy towards automation, again to reduce costs. I know this has been over-played elsewhere in the industry, but here a lot of the key-players are massive and slow moving, and at their scale, little movement can mean a lot of change.
Some good free textbooks are Rob Hyndman's online book https://otexts.com/fpp2/ and Brockwell and Davis' old textbook https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-29854-2. They focus much on ARIMA and exponential smoothers, because most time series data are pretty small sized (a few dozens to at most a few thousand samples), so there's really not that much else that can do.

Most of Hyndman's textbook approaches (mostly ARIMA and various exponential smoothers) are implemented in his 'forecast' R package.

ARIMA and exponential smoothers tend to be a bit hard to get working well on daily data (they come from the era where most data was monthly or quarterly). A modern take on classical frequency domain Fourier regression is Facebook Prophet (https://facebook.github.io/prophet/) which tends to work pretty well if you have a few years of daily data( https://facebook.github.io/prophet/ )
fwiw, hard disagree.

soundART is banal and also reads extremely poorly from a grammatical standpoint (as an uncountable noun it doesn't fit as a singular brand).

Why wouldn't an artist want their personal brand to be associated with the term rat? The cute logo mascot is also a positive association.

I think you misinterpreted what was said. A company taking an underwriting loss like that would be shut down by regulators in a heartbeat. There are very large regulatory capital requirements in life insurance, which is why you don't see new entrants into the market.
