This is a good point. My therapist lives thousands of kilometers away. If you have a good fit, the distance might not matter.

I had one in my city before and he was great too, but he knew a colleague might have more relevant experience. I was doubtful about the distance aspect, but it's been totally fine since day one. It's definitely worth considering.

While no doubt I'm uninformed, my sense is professional development at the one-to-one or one-to-few level is geared towards exec levels, such as exec coaching and management training.

For my part, I'm not exec level yet am in a position to use either disposable income or company money on coaching for skills such as writing.

I have mixed feelings about this as I do JavaScript transpilers.

I’m totally in favour of using transpilers to support older platforms.

What has happened though in JS land is developers started using them in reverse - writing to future standards that are not supported by the current underlying interpreter.

Hoping here the same thing does not happen in Ruby

That was sort of the entire point of the writing. Because tech folks are in a privileged class, they have the ability to move jobs based on morals. And therefore they should. Not doing that, when you are making as much as you are as a programmer at BIGCORP means you are complicit in the bad behavior.

A bit shocking to see how much ancient Ruby is in use. It is not like they massively change the language with every release like e.g. Swift. Probably breaking changes in Rails are a bigger blocker for updating to a new Ruby than Ruby itself?
This is a very cool story, and makes me want to learn more about Tamiya. But the situation does not seem the same to me. People are - for the most part - able to play the old Nintendo games they want through the virtual console, backwards compatibility, remakes, or NES/SNES mini.

Yes, some N64 carts are selling for thousands on eBay - but that’s not preventing kids from playing that game if they want to.
What about all the things that aren't covered by insurance. I hear lots of nightmarish stories about things like "out of network costs", or paying for ambulances or childbirth.

You don't need to use multiple inheritance, coroutines or anything advanced in Python and still be productive. Many non computer science data analysts do exactly that and are very successful with it.

Go and other languages listed in the original articles on the other hand require you to understand the full complexity before you even begin or spend most of your time deep in documentation if you decide to learn as you go. Static type language simply doesn't allow you to not understand the type system.

This effect is especially enhanced in Scala, Haskell and similar ones where you will not finish a thing until you get a degree in category theory or Odersky theory.

'Worse' might not be intended to sound bad, but it surely does. It seems it is used to describe Unix and Python by that cohort of programmers whose intention is not to get shit done but to develop some mathematical theory of everything.

People who care about delivering results would not call them 'worse' compared to current alternatives in the first place.

There definitely are better alternatives on the horizon and they are better because they bring more simplicity to the table but not at the cost of giving up intuitiveness.
I don’t think the current virus would need to look different. For the other first few cases in France a month later, we are relatively sure that they come from China because their RNA has mutations that have nit been there in December. If there would have been transmission in France in December, we would expect to see a strain if the virus without the mutations that happened in China in January (but potentially with different mutations).

This makes me think that either

1. nobody else in France was infected by the spread that they now found to have happened in December, the strain died

2. the findings are wrong

1 seems pretty unlikely. We’ll know once they hopefully sequence and publish the genome of the virus they found.

Baltimore and Odenton are a decent distance apart, about a 30 minute drive. Also, very few federal agencies are in just any one location; they tend to have offices spread out across different states, or over the tri-state area.

At the Federal level the median US politician sometimes has the power to glass countries and that power is typically exercised every so often. They actively work to redistribute and moderate the wealth and lives of the most materially prosperous country.

The justices are socially aware but there is a big gap between them and the professional politicians. They take substantially less advantage of opportunities to foist their human foibles on others. They are politicians, but of the nose-out-of-joint variety where their peers tend to be limbs-strewn-over-an-area types. The difference is large enough that they don't really merit the same label.

It'd be nice if the US kept them from getting more politically active. The best Supreme Court is a quiet and sleepy one.

Since pjc wanted a example that isn't explicitly a bug (a 'benign' race condition) I'll provide one that can be a major pita, two concurrent tasks are logging their event stream. Logs may not hit in exactly the order that you expect in your mind, forcing you to stop and think each time you're going over the logs. Definitely a race condition. Definitely expected behaviour. Not sure you can call that a bug.

More than once in my life I have thought that this was a bug, tried to correct it, and introduced another bug, followed by teeth gnashing, hair pulling, swearing, and then a revert.

"Any" and "surely" are very strong words! Compilers implement different kinds of languages, guarantees, extensions and what not.

Even if your program is not conforming to whatever standard, it may be very well be useful and working in most compilers out there.

As an example, Linux is not conforming C, including triggering UB. But at least two major compilers support the intended semantics even if they are forbidden by the standard.
I'm curious about the addition of Tensor Cores. It sounds like both the regular Shader Units and Tensor Cores can carry out GEMM, just that the latter are more efficient at it. I'm guessing that for ML applications, both the Tensor Cores and Shader Units are used.

Are tensor cores idle during 3D gaming? How do they differ from the regular Shader Units? Why are they more efficient?

There are very few places where PHP cannot do strict comparisons.

The first example in that article even highlights that `in_array` has a `$strict` parameter.

I'd bet a months salary it's easier to teach developers to use strict comparisons (either through arguments to be passed, or strict operators to be used) than it is to teach developers how to avoid thread-safety bugs.

> The js files are the subject of infringing activity. Popcorn Time is "inducing infringement" as stated in the unanimous SCOTUS ruling against grokster.

This only comes close to making sense if you are assuming an unreasonably vague definition of "infringing activity".

Copyright is defined in terms of actions that the author/owner has exclusive right to: reproduce, distribute, perform or display publicly, etc. Infringement is defined as doing one of those actions without permission. An infringing activity is reproducing, distributing, etc. something you don't have permission to reproduce or distribute. The subject of an infringing action is the thing being reproduced, distributed, etc.

The MPA's complaint identified JS code as the subject of infringing action, meaning at most that it's the creation or public display and distribution of the JS code at those URLs that the MPA is alleging to infringe their copyright in movies. This does not seem to have been understood by the author of the more rambling, irrelevant portions of that complaint. In order for that JS code's existence or display to be infringing on the copyright of the movies, it would have to be a derivative work of each of those movies—an indeterminate but large number of movies, for what was probably just a few kB of code. That's not the kind of accusation anyone is going to take seriously.

This is very close to our experience of working with Kubernetes and istio for over an year. You get so many things seemingly for free that when things work as expected the whole thing is actually quite nice.

It is when things don't work as expected that it's really hard to find help. We had this issue happen a couple of weeks ago where we were trying to connect from one of our clusters to an Elasticache instance. We could connect to it from a namespace with istio sidecars disabled but not from a namespace with it enabled. We could also connect to it from a namespace in a different cluster which did have istio enabled. It took nearly a week to figure that out because there is so little prior art (in terms of stackoverflow questions, github issues etc). This comes with the territory of using something relatively new I suppose.
I'm surprised I haven't heard of rr before, it sounds like it could be a game changer for debugging many types of problems. How long has this project existed/been usable ?

Am I correct in understanding that rr can be used with any application (ie. the application doesn't have to be built specifically to support it) ? That's the impression the usage introduction on the website gives: https://rr-project.org/.
Also, Lombardia and neighbouring regions are still by by far the worst affected. Southern regions are still relatively unscathed. While it is likely that there might be other factors that contributed to the difference, it is at least plausible that lock down was a contributor.

Italy will slowly get out of lock down soon (while still preventing travel across regions). We will see how it goes.

Both sides of what spectrum? What kind of echo chamber? It sounds like you have an opinion about which group is being excluded.

Introduction to Geometric Deep Learning
I applaud this move from Tim. It takes gumption to walk away from a VP-level FAANG salary for anything, especially personal morals. I have only one small thing to add as an ex-Amazon employee:

>Amazon Web Services (the “Cloud Computing” arm of the company), where I worked, is a different story. It treats its workers humanely, strives for work/life balance, struggles to move the diversity needle (and mostly fails, but so does everyone else), and is by and large an ethical organization. I genuinely admire its leadership.

This was not and (as far as I keep in contact with old coworkers) is not the case for people working in the data centers operations department. I imagine that area shares similarities with the average warehouse environment. There is a quick turnover (a year on average), a dependence on contracted workers, demanding physical labor, untrustworthy managers, and most of all, the dehumanizing metrics. I remember most of us had dreams to transition to cloud support and get away from the lonely and stressful life as a data center tech.

I think the only people feeling okay at Amazon are corporate and/or AWS software engineers. The rest are feeling the full effects of Amazon's corporate culture. Which is to say, the full rod of Bezos' sadistic corporate philosophy.

That's a step in the right direction, but it's still not Free software. Section 2.3 clearly breaches Freedom 1. [0]

If you're serious about this project and want it to be adopted by Free / Open Source software projects, you should use a standard Free and Open Source software licence like the GPL or the MIT licence. It's a bad idea to roll your own non-standard licence, even if its terms are reasonable, and even if it meets the requirements for qualifying as a Free Software licence and an Open Source licence.

You installed a framework Spring for a simple feature to grab some text from a POST request and dump it into a database.
Since in general you don't have thousands of users sending feedback at the same time I don't need a framework and if you know how to correctly create SQL statements you don't need a framework for SQL. There is nothing to log, if the db call fails you can put some text in a log file or do a curl to a different url to notify you.

It will also be probably faster then a Java framework since you don't have a function call stack 30 levels deep (not a Java issue , all magic frameworks including PHP one have such giant call stacks)

What if the issue isn't a deficiency? What if it's a case of your employee understanding the problem better than you, and coming to a better solution?

Asking to understand is toxic if you're certain that there is something that needs correction. It's not toxic if you have an open mind and accept that the employee might have done the correct thing in a situation for reasons you don't yet understand.
