6 years of a grad student salary is a big financial sacrifice compared to 6 years of a software industry salary, even at non-Silicon-Valley salary levels.

The opportunity cost of a PhD can be pretty high. In CS you could theoretically make back a lot of that money with a higher salary after graduation if you then enter industry, but the gap in lifetime earnings up until that point is huge.
Hey psweber, thanks for the feedback.

You're right.

We checked our stats and barely 5% of people clicked on one of the pills at the top (under the list).

We just revised our intro and removed the colored pills. They were indeed a duplicate of the list. That'll be 50% less emojis and less color overload.

The approach I've been taking is to use ReasonML to model the domain of my application as well as high level components. ReasonML code remains unaware of the styling of the "lower-level" components for the most part, which I write in typescript with styled-components or emotion.

If they've flagged this through user reports of the permissions being too wide then they may not actually know which permissions need to be changed. This is purely speculation though.
But how is it running so quickly? I've seen adaptive rendering implementations before, but they couldn't run in real time. If they are really using billions of polys they can't store them all in VRAM. Is the PS5 SSD fast enough to recalculate polys for every model in the scene every frame (Or even every few frames)?
Congratulations on the 1.0 release! I've been using Deno as my primary "hacking" runtime for several months now, I appreciate how quickly I can throw together a simple script and get something working. (It's even easier than ts-node, which I primarily used previously.)

I would love to see more focus in the future on the REPL in Deno. I still find myself trying things in the Node.js REPL for the autocomplete support. I'm excited to see how Deno can take advantage of native TypeScript support to make a REPL more productive: subtle type hinting, integrated tsdocs, and type-aware autocomplete (especially for a future pipeline operator).
Correct, for DarkSky the API key is embedded in the request URL [0]. Their pricing is generous (1000 requests/day are free, after than $1 per 10,000 requests) but there is definitely the risk that traffic over HTTP could have the URL sniffed, and then be used to make charges on that customer's behalf.

> Such as in your elevator example, make it so that the operation of the elevator is tested with a heavy load approaching the desired safety factor, and evaluating the performance under this heavier than normal load?

Yes, this is a reasonable way to test an elevator. "Cheating" in this context might mean surreptitiously swapping out the load for a lighter load, so that the elevator appears to pass the test while not actually supporting the heavy load during real operation.

For a real-world example, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_emissions_scandal

There is unlikely to be a silver bullet that can make any test completely immune to cheating.

The article mentions "The JVM allows you to change the code while the program is running."

However, that's not quite the same thing. The JVM allows you to change instructions, but not -data-. That is, in between versions you change what data a class contains, there is no way to change it out from the running instance. The JVM either has one version of the bytecode loaded, or the other; it has no concept of transitioning between them.

The BEAM has a mechanism to do that. It can have both loaded. And you can write transformation functions to allow the internal process state to transform from one to the other.

Per the article, "Hot code loading means that the application logic can be updated by changing the runnable code in the system whilst retaining the internal process state" - emphasis added. That's the key bit for maintaining uptime during an upgrade. Honestly, I don't think it's used that often, but it's there.
As a (sparsely) published poet, I find most English Haiku not particularly inspiring. There may be an aesthetic quality in Japanese Haiku that does not happen when using other languages, or there just may be a large body of bad Japanese Haiku that non-native speakers never learn about.

I believe that the reasons that attract mediocre poets to Haiku are:

* They follow a formula that is easy to understand and reproduce.

* They are short.

So it's reasonably easy to produce something that fits the form, and mediocre poets will leave it at that and not reflect on whether the result is any good.

In general, I think beginning poets prefer somewhat more formal poetry, but even a Sonnet takes a bit of effort, and something like a Villanelle or a Sestina gets quite hard already.
This is AGENDA 21 change my mind.
Minority report style hand waving is a dead end. Tactile feedback is a hard requirement for a decent hand controlled interface.

I ponder whether Google and Apple (aka Big Brother) should have given this work to another group and promised implementation/integration. I appreciate that your group is working on making it open source but as you pointed out:

> It is not clarified what [the metadata] will contain and who will have access to it, so let’s try to guess.

At the least, I would want Apple/Google to fully disclose these technical details before I would accept its terms & conditions. If they even put their logic in an open source format (i.e. GitHub), I would feel more comfortable. Google is a much worse player in the game of "making money from users by tracing their every move" than Apple.
Finally we can use it on production, great work everyone involved in making this happen!
Covid-19 Is “An Automation Forcing Event”: Vulnerable Workers Look to Reskill
The answer could possibly be "no", not because of something magical about consciousness, but because of the limitations of AI. Our AI systems are all based on Turing machines. It's possible that simulating consciousness requires some hypercomputation not simulatable by a Turing machine.
> just getting their act together and hiring a few developers to build a basic app.

Developing a new app each time sounds like a very expensive way to go. If that allows them to beat Uber then Uber is in trouble in this market. Because the next step is to create a service that any restaurant can join for fixed payment. Even with customization marginal cost for such thing should be quite low, surely lower than everybody building their own apps from scratch and maintaining them over time. And that's pretty much what delivery companies offer? So how developing your own app would be more effective than just using already developed app and adding a couple of menu items to it?

Are imports async by default in Deno? That seems to be how it works given that you can import from a URL. This is interesting since async imports are currently a part of JavaScript(or at least a proposal?) by using the `import()` function.
Yeah... super confusing.
Mobility.

I'm in my 30's and have always struggled with how flexible I am. Since lockdown I've spent just about every evening mobilizing anything that feels tight or uncomfortable has been a game changer.

I'm finding that I feel physically pretty great, less tight, aches/pains have faded away though there are still a few old injuries I'm working through.

Lockdown has been hugely helpful in maintaining the habit: kids go down in the evening, take the dog for a walk and stretch until you go to sleep has been a great way to unwind.

If you're looking to get started, I initially followed this guy's[0] youtube channel for a month, then started doing what felt right for me.

> Internally Deno uses Microsoft's TypeScript compiler to check types and produce JavaScript. Compared to the time it takes V8 to parse JavaScript, it is very slow.

> Early on in the project we had hoped that "V8 Snapshots" would provide significant improvements here. Snapshots have certainly helped but it's still unsatisfyingly slow. We certainly think there are improvements that can be done here on top of the existing TypeScript compiler, but it's clear to us that ultimately the type checking needs to be implemented in Rust.

> This will be a massive undertaking and will not happen any time soon; but it would provide order of magnitude performance improvements in a critical path experienced by developers. TSC must be ported to Rust. If you're interested in collaborating on this problem, please get in touch.
You are misunderstanding basic physiology and thus implying that I'm wrong. The healthy body produces the Vitamin D it needs.

That comment that tier 1 top talent engineers is way too universal, to put it kindly. I've worked 20 years as a dev and leader across two tier 1 companies and succeeded, think Faang. I'm maybe from a tier 3 undergrad. Intelligence, hard work, experience are all things that help me, but maybe also hubris, kindness, focus were important too. I was worth a lot because I worked hard and produced a lot. But I've also met way more productive and intelligent and capable people who were not at those tier 1 companies and not from tier 1 universities. It's like the old saw from my youth, if you think you are so great, a super genius, then probably you were not in a selective enough group (whether that is high school, college, grad school, company, life).
>Go into grad school and pursue a PHD because you've got a burning desire to turn one of your good ideas into a breakthrough.

Yeah, this doesn't apply to mathematics, where the undergraduate degree often doesn't even prepare you to understand the problem you would eventually get to work on.

I participated in REUs and was a co-author on a published paper before I started my math PhD, and it was still a long journey to arrive at a project that ended up in a dissertation.

One of the great things about grad school was that I got to learn mathematics that I wouldn't otherwise - not just in classes, of course. Getting more educated would have been a good enough reason.

Aimless wandering was just a part of the journey, and a nearly inevitable one.

While I am talking about mathematics here, theoretical computer science is just a branch of math, and is not much different.

Looking back, there are many things that I could have done differently, lots of bullshit I could have avoided, and many things in that broken system that I could have dodged.

But "don't go to grad school if you don't already have a project" just isn't a solid advice, in my opinion. It's great if that is the case, but you need to be very lucky for that to happen.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but ... this malware's initial infection vector is via email. If your computer is connected to email, it cannot possibly be air-gapped, unless I'm severely misunderstanding what "air-gapped" means.

I assume that it's meant that the malware infects an internet-connected computer, jumps to removable storage, and then hopefully that storage is plugged into the target computer, possibly through multiple intermediate infections? But the fact that viruses can spread via thumbdrives is hardly novel either.

And the kicker, of how you get the files out of the air-gap, is also not mentioned; "ESET says that during its research, it was not able to identify any Ramsay exfiltration module just yet." I'm certainly aware of a number of sexy proof-of-concept side-channel attacks that modulate things like fan noise or graphics card activity or infrasound to try and exfiltrate data in a way that an external agent could pick up, but there's no evidence that this malware uses any of them; perhaps the hope is that another infected flash drive gets plugged in with an exfiltration module, slurps up the data, and then transmits it out when it's plugged back into a network-connected machine.

It's also greed - they've been awful to us through this entire thing outright lying to our face trying to get it pinned on our rental insurance. Then the fact that they were doing all of this without permits from the city... oof.

In the electricity sector, yes. Not so much when it comes to process heat and district heating.

Renewables still contribute less than 10% to the overall energy consumption in the US:

> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31Bi2LpLoK8

In Germany, where renewables already contribute up to 40% in the electricity sectors (13% of the overall energy consumption), the emissions in the electricity sector are still very bad with up to 600 grams of CO2 emitted per kWh while France emits only 50 grams on average. At the same time, a kWh costs around 30 cents per kWh in Germany while the price in France is half of that.

Counterpoint: there is a team within Google that got it right at least once. We have live import/export integration with Google Sheets and this requires additional OAuth scopes. The request for justification they sent was polite, specific about the scopes of concern (and why), and with no hard deadline. Our response was handled politely and promptly.

I realise the GCP API team may not be dealing with as big of a swamp as a consumer-facing apps group, but it was nevertheless one of those few occasions when Google left me with an impression other than overwhelming hubris.
