It's basically a 10-year plan, but you start by saving for an ~10 year old car for a few thousand and try to pay cash. Any potential car payment can now go into a fund towards your next car, which could just be a newer used car.

If you have a small savings and are a decent driver you can drop collision insurance (which would be required if you had a loan) and save an extra hundred or two each month.

At some point you should have an emergency fund with 3-6 mo of living expenses. A brand new Honda Fit starts at $16k. That's about a yearly salary of someone making ($7/hr) minimum wage working full time. So that should be in the realm of possibility for someone making more than minimum wage (or in a state with a higher minimum wage).
I've heard them called Sales Engineers before. They're usually technical employees or engineers before they get into sales, and carry their technical knowledge and industry expertise into a sales role.

IQ tests are perfectly reliable for predicting learning disabilities. If someone scores very low on an IQ test, they will not function well in a normal school. Neither will the function well if they score very high. They’d be bored out of their minds.

I’m struggling to understand your problem with IQ tests. If you have an IQ of between 90 and 110 as per a standard test no one really cares. You’re “normal”. Score higher maybe a bit more intelligent at spacio-temporal problems and it’s probably a good predicator that you’ll do well at mathematics.

If you score below 75 you almost certainly have an intellectual disability and need help. You can give these people any other test you like, it will make no difference. They won’t “function” in a society where the mean IQ is 100 (which it is).
I think the question here is more along the lines of "If now, I have ,say, radiology reports, do I use Nubia out of the box or do I need to make it read radiology reports and have a sense of what high quality radiology reports look like before using it?"
In addition to just death rates there are broken bones as people fall off (possibly less of a problem with buggies as mentioned above), all kinds non-fatal injuries because of biting, kicking or just panicking and either running over someone or dragging them through something without necessarily killing them.

Ulike cows and sheep who only have front teeth in their lower jaws horses have teeth on both sides and can easily take a bite of someones arm if they snap.

Add to this the massive hygienic problems that would occur if we suddenly had these animals walking around leaving their droppings everywhere.

Almost none of those billions were spent on sars-like coronaviruses though, despite the risk being well established after the last time mother nature was a bitch. Antivirals are only being developed if they can immediately turn a profit.

At least 3 datasets go into making a NUBIA model:

- The general dataset used to train the language model before being fine-tuned to extract semantic similarity, logical entailment and grammaticality (ie Wikipedia)

- The dataset used to fine-tune the semantic similarity module and logical inference scorer

- The dataset used to predict human judgement

So far, the experiments have actually shown that without any finetuning, the NUBIA model trained to assess machine translations does better at agreeing with human judgement for image captions than the metrics specifically design to assess image captions.

For more advanced cases like, say, scoring medical reports where, for example, grammaticality doesn't matter as much, it may have to be fine-tuned. This is not unlike human training actually where experts are trained on "what to look for".

The nice thing with this modular architecture and the interpretable scores is that it can provide a lot of flexibility to study individual components and their emergent properties and make a judgement call on whether or not to fine tune.
Very nice conclusion of the language. However, keep in mind that awk is not the fastest language around. A pro awk thread might not be the best place to tell this story but it is fresh and true:

Last weekend I was playing around with some data. At first, I thought 'let's just write a line of awk and be done with it' and so I did. The execution took 20 seconds (about 17 million lines) and everything was fine.

Later that day, I came across another task which seemed too complex for an awk one-liner so I took two lines of R and was surprised when R was done within 5 seconds on the same data set.

I was happy because I found a faster tool than the one I had, but the lesson is, that just because you use a proven tool like awk, doesn't mean there aren't any better tools. Find out what works best for you.

I also want to be on my computer, but I have never ordered food delivery and don't plan to change that. I'm lucky to have a wealth of restaurants nearby and I like it that way, so it's eat out or take-away when I don't feel like cooking. The price premium alone for delivered food makes the whole concept unappealing to me in inner city.
What is fascinating that both of these technologies require glasses - something burdensome and often uncomfortable.

I often said ‘when 3D TV’s don’t require glasses, I’ll buy one.’ I guess that was the general opinion, and when that didn’t happen quickly enough, it died.
In my experience it's often quite obvious when someone doesn't understand something and they say they do. Someone who properly understands will typically offer some tidbit of feedback from their understanding as an acknowledgement. And if not forthcoming I will extend the conversation to try and tease out that bit of feedback. I think this works because the people who genuinely understand something are usually keen to demonstrate that understanding in some small way.
I don't agree. Startup has a fairly specific task or operating style that is irrelevant to its size and age and number of employees. A startup is a company that is experimenting with ideas and its main goal is to validate a business model. If those business models can't be validated in a certain amount of time, the company should shut down. If a business model is validated it needs to be implemented and the company is no longer a startup.

You can be a 0-day 1-person company but if you have a business model and an operating structure, you're not a startup. Most companies are started on a specific business idea and planned to run for long term on that idea. Those are not startups.

At least they had the excuse of being the first who this happened to.

Germany has had (mostly contained) Covid cases since Jan 27, and there's been community spread in Europe since February. Where China (supossedly) had lunar New Year celebrations, we had carnival celebrations with hundreds of thousands. And Germans along with half of Europe went skiing in the Alps, right next to what was at the time the epicenter of the disease.

This is the big issue with ad networks (well, after the tracking).

Re point 1, there has been a major change in pubs in the U.K.

All are trying to migrate into dining, as the margins on alcohol have fallen. Those that didn’t become restaurants have basically gone bust. There are no longer any normal classic pubs in England!

I know a couple that tried to rejuvenate a failing “free house” in a tourist hotspot and failed. Passing the spot recently I saw it is now a pub restaurant like all the rest.

I also once talked with the owner bartender of a very trendy micro brewery pub. The beer was their hook but the money came from food and the stables converted into b&b.

It doesn’t invalidate your point at all, I’m just adding detail to a very varied landscape.
It's also worth mentioning that local variables can be simulated using additional formal parameters. In AWK, any missing parameter in a function call is initialized to zero.

Let's say we have a function CharCount which takes a character and a line of text and returns the number of occurrences of that character:

function CharCount(ch, line,
n)
{
...
}

The line break in the parameter list is an AWK convention and indicates that n is a "local variable."
This also happens to me when using Zoom, Skype and WhatsApp. It is also very common when I start a video call using a web browser (Google Meet, Zoom Web, Skype Web). The camera indicator (green light) goes off only after force-quitting the web browser or desktop application. I don’t think there is anything malicious there, probably a bug somewhere in the code failing to release the camera feed or missing an event notifying the system to close the stream. Even FaceTime fails to stop the camera feed from time to time forcing me to quit the entire app, so it is not just Facebook Messenger.
For new grads you are probably best off being a generalist in some broad area you’re most interested in (web, data, mobile, low-latency/systems, games) as 1) most places you’ll interview will just ask you the standard DS/algo questions, and 2) you don’t know exactly what you want to do yet. Don’t fret about the litany of skills in job listings, as they are usually overly specific.

With some experience, you may choose to specialize but if you want to go the management route, you’ll have a very interdisciplinary and generalist job.

The difference is that in one case it's an implementation detail covered by an abstraction to make that fact irrelevant to the programmer, and in the other the language is fundamentally designed around the idea that the stack itself is exposed as a data structure to the programmer.

If you don't understand how the difference is significant, I suggest trying a language like Joy, Factor or Forth.

The only correct way to parse `a < b < c` for numbers is throwing a type error.

Python comes second for source code niceness, allowing you to compare numbers to booleans is common and shouldn't be.
They have also introduced a course - https://bradfieldcs.com/csi/ which they are running from this June 2020 onwards. Applications are open. Cost seems a bit high $19,500.
Depends where you live. Here in rural UK Uber etc. aren’t present so local shops and pubs are doing a good trade in takeaways and supplying meat/groceries so this would be useful for them
I honestly don't think being able to write 'a < b < c' is worth making the language bigger and causing weirdness and gotchas like this. 'a < b && b < c' isn't that much longer and is instantly and unambiguously readable to programmers coming from hundreds of other languages.
Introducing Visual Studio Codespaces
Apple said that they’d make research devices available to select people, but as far as I can tell nobody seems to have gotten one. (Not to mention that such a policy, even if it actually handed out devices, is fairly exclusionary.)
Is this why they pay to get rid of produced oil (negative prices)? I guess is better to lose a bit hoping things turn around than closing well /suffering long term damage.
> Then what is? If you're looking for a randomized sampling of programmers with sufficient sample size, you're not going to find it here.

Evidence. Maybe a study showing programmers have a natural preference? Or scientific evidence? Anything more convincing than "Rust evangelist" anecdotes.

> No, but a fine example is that of C++: the difficulty in parsing means that if you make a typo, the error message you get might be bizarre and confusing.

Difficulty parsing? If it didn't parse and found an error, then it means it didn't have any difficulty parsing. That has more to do with the complexity of the language itself than parsing. Parsing is a very simple matter. Or maybe the compiler for one language is better? Also, I thought we were comparing Rust to Java?

> I would think that more-useful error messages pass your test of "make it easier for programmers to program".

It does, but once again all you've done is provide anecdotes without any examples or evidence.

> Regardless, I'm in agreement: I find "name: Type = blah" much easier to read.

I don't. The most important part of "name: Type = blah" is the Type. So it's nice to have it first. But then again, there are people who love dynamic programming languages. So once again personal preferences and personal anecdotes aren't convincing arguments.

> As someone who cut his teeth on C and later Java, much later learning Scala and Rust

Yeah, I too fanboy over new languages I learn. But then I get over it and move on with my life. My guess is you just wrote toy programs in scala and rust and nothing substantive.

> I immediately liked the style of the latter two much better. Lately I've been doing a lot of Java and get constantly annoyed at the "backwards" order.

So then use Rust? Why are you using Java?

> I suppose you could argue that what I've written above is just personal preference, but I see it as a bit stronger than that.

I don't have to argue it. All you've provided is personal preference. "I find "name: Type = blah" much easier to read. " is personal preference. It's no more a convincing argument of anything than you prefering chocolate over vanilla shows that chocolate is better than vanilla.

I used to work offshore in commercial diving / ROVs. The reasons are not so much technical problems, but there is demand/supply for people who can do that sort of job, as I wrote here[1].

people need many years of experience (recorded in a log-book), before they can do the next certification. Unlike SW engineering where you're promoted to Senior depending on company and sometimes for no apparent reason in oil+gas a lot of people are in their 40ies and 50ies. Our super-intendant on one job was 78. I was the youngest guy out there with 23 yro while the next closest was 12 years older than me (ans also only on one job. one all other gigs all were much older still).

Every 2 or so years you need to do a survival training. There are medical fitness tests etc ... You can't just quickly train a few on-shore engineers and then send them out there.

On the other hand there should be plenty of people "sitting on the beach" without work right now and from my experience it sounds like big oil companies rather not spend the money on this when they think there might be a chance of this blowing over in 3 months.

An earthquake or volcanic eruption is a natural disaster - there is nothing that can be done to stop them from happening and they are largely unpredictable.

The Covid virus started naturally but that it was allowed to turn into a pandemic was caused by negligence and corruption. Those are the things that we must address. Calling it a pure act of force majeure will result in lessons not being learned and this problem happening again unnecessarily.

We, in Asia learned a lot during the SARS and many countries on this side of the world are already well on their way to eradicating the virus within our communities. Unfortunately China covered up and suppressed their knowledge of this virus which delayed other country's responses. Additionally, the WHO dragging their feet and doing engage in pointless politics, such as refusing to acknowledge Taiwan's existence, resulted in wasted knowledge.
AI Uncovers a Potential Treatment for Covid-19 Patients
Anything an existing AI "invented" is not an invention. It should go directly to common knowledge. One could argue the AI that did the inventing could be patented somehow.
To be honest I thought in many ways it was pretty spot on for the UK as well. The company I work for has a brand tracking product that looks at the casual dining sector[1] from the perspective of consumers: https://savanta.com/product/brandvue-eating-out/.

You can easily find problems around a lot of the points raised in this post in our dataset. If you cut too much around areas like food quality and service your NPS is going to slide, and if not turned around it becomes a leading indicator that the end is looming (e.g., Jamie's Italian).

We obviously don't track independent restaurants - chains only - but you can certainly see the effects of high rent and absolutely swingeing business rates[2] coupled with heavy downward pressure on prices across the whole sector.

[1] This isn't just restaurant chains: it includes pubs, cafes, fast food, etc.

[2] These are nothing short of an outrage in many parts of the UK. Local government will often complain about their moribund high streets, but do little to help their cause. The reality is that with costs as high as they are, and the convenience of online and delivery, it's extremely difficult for any kind of outlet to make money on the British high street.

> There are no longer any normal classic pubs in England!

A slight exaggeration, no? Whilst it's uncommon to find a pub that doesn't do food, I can think of several not far from me. (just outside Brighton).

And "a pub that does food" is still quite far from being a restaurant. Some only do food on Sundays, some have limited menus run by guest kitchens and some get the food cooked by a nearby takeaway with whom they partner.
