Me too, I just got one (although it wasn't saying I applied, it was just referring to my "claim #" and telling me about a retraining opportunity). Where did you file your fraud report? I've been meaning to but haven't figured out where to call yet.
I understand "meaning" here to signify reference, as in, "What is the object that Oscar and his twin refer to when they talk about 'water'?" The twins are psychologically identical, but it turns out that they refer to different objects by virtue of their environments. So meaning can't just be a matter of psychology.

I guess you might think that "meaning" is best understood as something other than reference. But that seems to be a starting point for Putnam.
I'm going to go with "absolutely not".

The fact that a tool works out of the box and offers you an extensive array of ways to get more out of it is not in any way worse than a tool that just works out of the box. You can use it in exactly the same way with no more mental effort - stick to the defaults.

Personally, I usually try to get a job where they use the thing I want to learn.

Two years ago I landed a job in a company that was using Vue.js and Vuetify.

Recently just started in a company that's doing Elixir and Phoenix. I've been trying to get into this tech stack for a long time.
Are colleges even going to accept high scores on these exams for credit / advanced placement?

It's a shame the college board decided to go through all this instead of refunding the fees they collected from students, especially when the value proposition on the students' side is uncertain.

Add in behavior like "posting content to confuse and deter those who attempt to cheat" when internet research during the exam is not actually a violation of their rules, and the organization starts to look fairly predatory.

> In this case, english rules dictate that any word that starts with "gif" is a hard g sound. You will not find an english word that starts with "gif" with a soft g.

English rules tell you how to pronounce "gi" at the start of a word, and the "f" doesn't change it.

As I understand it the point of LVT is to punish landlords with few or no tenants in localities with high demand for housing and commercial space (where land values tend to be high).

The problem it targets is not the wealth of landlords. The problem it targets is land owners who are not landlords making money, often as a by-product of consuming a luxury good (a home in a city center), without actually providing the social functions which in principle justify their compensation (anticipating demand, managing housing at scale, high-quality construction on a budget, etc).
Wasn't Steve Jobs' idea to have Web Apps for Iphone but Iphone team talked him into native apps for various reasons such as performance and security and he finally gave in.

I would assume the same for desktop versus web apps but as time goes on I think web apps will prevail.
Hmm, I've been using "tortuous" as the adjective for tort for probably a couple of decades and you're the first person to try to correct me. Clearly I'm using what Wiktionary classes as usage that's obsolete.

Interestingly googling around the principle usage -- to mean pertaining to a tort -- of this spelling is in UK Terms of Use. It's quite hard to search though as often people will talk about tortuous caselaw [1], meaning 'twisting and turning'. Both usages can be in the same document, so Google Search - in particular - is no good here.

Spelling "tortuous": I find supporting documents from the UK Home Office [3], the UK IPO (including in court proceedings for trademark), and in private practice references to UK tort law, eg [2] dated 2019.

I don't consider my usage to be wrong per se but will consider using tortious in international forums (I so wanted to write "fora", lol); thanks for the query, terse as it was.

It's possible we're all using it "incorrectly" of course. I work in the IP sector, we might all be drinking from the same fountain (eg perhaps reading past UK caselaw keeps us archaic).

[2] https://thelawreviews.co.uk/edition/the-intellectual-propert... talking about an infringement of a tort, as tortuous.

[3] https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/references-to-the... , note I'm assuming the Home Office is the origin, it's Gov, but I don't really see mention of the department that owns that data.
How is that different from requiring vaccines for public school, a license to drive a car or fly a plane, or even a safety course and hunting license to hunt? Most of the things that are benefits of citizenship that don’t require any voluntary steps are true “public goods”, like national defense or the societal benefits of education, etc.
> I doubt Apple code quality dropped significantly.

Oh it did. Earlier OS X releases were way more stable and didn't break shit for no reason.

Quality assurance has gone downhill over the last years, that's what happens when the people in control are no longer engineers taking pride in high quality bug free code but rather managers whose incentives are to push as many new features out as possible - which IMO was also the reason why 86 support was dropped in Catalina, it was too expensive to keep supporting, but heh who cares about users of stuff like VSTs for sound people or people wanting to use their Mac for gaming...

>Someone wants to make a game engine, or asks for help with some aspect of making a game engine, and someone will often reply by saying “you should just use Unity” or something similar.

That's also a classic BS response in Stack Overflow and such.

Someone asks "How do I do X?"

And people will jump to comment "You shouldn't do X, etc" instead of answering the question (and if needed, adding a caveat that they don't recommend it).

Many times people very well know the drawbacks of X, that it's considered a bad practice, etc, and also how to do it "the right way", but want to do X anyway for some specific reason (hacking, working around some issue, etc).
So from my understanding, most prescriptions are handled over the phone/fax, and regulated drugs require some kind of verifiable signature that a fax does not comply with. I believe mail works fine though, as none of this makes sense.

There is an e-signing program that I think lets the pharmacy watch the signature being made or something that is now fixing this issue, but I hear it is both expensive and rather difficult to use.

Look for a pharmacy that offers delivery, they can make the trip to your doctors office for you as again these regulations are ridiculous.
I honestly have yet to see any evidence that Fuchsia is anything but an experiment in this respect, like Dart was (which was also going to "replace android").

I entirely admit the possibility, but I see no plan. Hopes and aspirations are not plans.
They outsource their certification exams to Pearson and PSI. Both platforms are riddled with bugs.
This remains to me the most weirdly improbable heel/face turn in tech industry history. Kids today, whose worst bad guys are Facebook and Uber, probably won't ever really understand how utterly loathed Microsoft was in the open source community. Every action they took seemed deliberately designed to impede the way we worked, the software we wanted to run (and write) and the hardware we wanted to buy.

I spent decades trying to find way to avoid buying windows licenses.

And now... they're just a harmless, if slightly stodgy, tech giant hawking their OS and office suite, throwing a few good tools over the fence, and generally being pleasant to work with. Post-pandemic, in fact, I've been working full time on a desktop that's running windows (with a bunch of X11 terminals from the linux development box, of course). And not only do I not hate it, I don't even feel shame.

What tools work for you? I know Zotero is the go-to tool for references.

I'm not sure which tool to use for the slip-box. I'd love something that:

- Has a GUI or at least ncurses interface

- Doesn't require familiarity with emacs

- Stores things as plain files (which can be versioned with git, or synced to a cloud filesystem)
It arrives hot. It is prepared by your partner / parent / cook just the way you like / need it. It makes for a much more interesting conversation.

It is something Indians are used to from a fairly young age. Going to school, you'd take the lunch that mom made with you. Now that you're working.. providing for the family, you deserve an upgrade! :D
I would say it depends on complexity. Either algorithmic or UI complexity.
Web apps just aren’t as efficient as Desktop apps, and at this moment this is still relevant in various cases, probably in many less in the future.
I'm not sure if Henry George brought this up (I think he may have) but it's definitely a part of the discussion today, to also incorporate other non-renewable resources / externalities / commons in a LVT-based system. Things including the electromagnetic spectrum, noise, light pollution, pollution, carbon, and intellectual property. I would include ads (they invade my visual cortex!).
Duck typing says they're currently a member.
The reason for this, I think, is developers of VS Code really understand the problem field in this case, as they are making the tool for themselves.

Also, there's probably a ton of resources involved.

I always wondered how dhh came into contact with this unknown language
Yep. For a long time in Michigan it was physical prescription only, but they could write you two additional 30 day scripts at the time, or you could get a longer script if you were going to be out traveling. But you still have to take it to the pharmacy yourself every 30 days in most cases. (again, much of this has been relaxed.)

My gut says that a lot of this is because of all of the regulations around handling and amount-on-hand rules in MI. There is one not-terrible side effect to the resulting process however; Since typically you'd just wait to get it filled (or pick it up ASAP,) It limits the risk of an electronic fill sitting around and getting 'lost'.
> Since it is being gradually replaced by category theory as a more modern, practically better, and a more powerful foundation of mathematics

i don't see this. set theory is very practical and is a good thing to use to build things up in a granular manner. category theory is useful to connect and relate things. they're at two different ends of the spectrum. category theory isn't "replacing" anything.
Seems like it would take a long time to grind. I can imagine targeting something shallower but not getting it right and keep fixing it and end up with a deeper lens.

Hey, can you email me? (Email on profile.) I also get to that "saturated" place a lot and am not satisfied. I know there is more interesting content out there. I'm trying to solve the problem, so would love to chat to you/see if you eventually want to beta test.
I do mind such RSS feeds that just try to force people to load the webpage. With the vast majority of my RSS feeds, I never have to leave Emacs’ Elfeed RSS reader to consume daily news. If a feed won't let me see the full content in RSS, then I am more likely to delete the feed than become a pair of eyeballs for the website’s advertisers.
Lots of small clinics that don't write lots of prescriptions use paper. (I do some IT for one.) It's not regulation, it's cost. As long as it's cheaper to buy the paper and take the time to print on it than to pay monthly fees to the appropriate online clearinghouses, some doctors will do exactly that.

Lots of prescriptions that don't see "abuse" can be communicated to the pharmacy with a phone call. Amphetamines are not such a drug.
How recently?

Public airport or private?

"Retail" or privately hired pilot?
Oh, the education giants are horrible.
Thanks we are running a few node servers, we now deploy command line. Dev we use docker-compose. But we are looking for a way to easily share our servers. We developed it for Amsterdam open source. Around 20-30 cities are in line to start using it. Doesn't have to be scalable, or have high availibility. Ease of deployment, easy way to update and basic security. All sysadmins are pushing for kubernetes, although for the big cities it makes sense, it really starting to feel like an overkill for small cities who will run 1-3 non-critical sites with 0.5-5k users p/m. Heard a lot about ansible, will look into it, thanks!
Anything relying on DLTs has to be on desktop
In physics it certainly is. As far as I know, much all scientific conferences and journals are in English these days. Even journals like JETP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journal_of_Experimental_and_Th...) became joint English and Russian in the 50's!
Given that all commercial mirrors are made by machines and computers, why not the same at home?
Then where can i download the Windows source code and build my own version of it? I'd like to get rid of the compositor and bring back the classic theme.

Microsoft was on the "wrong side of the history" wrt. open source only because others figured out how to take advantage of the shared labor programmers put towards open source and work around the markets where Microsoft had near absolute dominance - so Microsoft was forced to play ball. In markets where Microsoft still dominates (e.g. desktop) their open source efforts are of the "let's opensource the Windows Calculator, we love Open Source, teehee" variety.
Yes. It's the short-wavelength receptors that are missing from the fovea. Informally, they are blue receptors, but the ranges overlap in a much more complicated way.

Terrible color combinations for text: blue/black, magenta/red, cyan/green, white/yellow.

The example uses blue/black.
100% agree - slices are a very leaky abstraction in Go
Many of the US systems were/are very trust based. Unfortunately trust based systems are too vulnerable to fraud these days.

It will take time to redevelop the systems and thinking to be more fraud resistant.

However, many in the US equate validation or verification as too intrusive, too discriminatory, or both.
I think the most common use of Node might actually be Electron if you go by number of users.

Figma is pretty much replacing all web design applications precisely because it’s leveraging web tech for collaboration on a single document at the same time.

I totally agree it's great and tend to enjoy languages that don't provide the user with unchecked nulls. It's a cool tool, but I don't think it's worth a billion dollars. If I had to choose, I'd rather take non-mutability by default rather than compile-time enforced checking of null pointers.

You seem to be confused about what the point of disagreement is
I had some visitors over to the SF who were crying in despair over the poverty and suffering seen on some of the streets there. But had a good time in other parts.

Your impression really depends on where you go.
In a fair society it should be taxed as an externality. There is a real environmental cost associated with software bloat.
Of course they do. But there's no alternative.

No matter how fast or beefy your server is, these days if your product becomes a success, 99% of the time it will outgrow what's possible on a single server. (Not to mention needs for redundancy, geographic latency, etc.) And by the time you see the trend heading upwards so you can predict what day that will happen, you already won't have the time for the massive rewrite necessary.

So yes, it's tons slower to write distributed servers/systems. But what other choice do you usually have?

Though, as much as possible, you can try to avoid the microservices route, and integrate everything as much as possible into monolithic replicable "full-stack servers" that never talk to each other, but rather rely entirely on things like cloud storage and cloud database. Where you're paying your cloud provider $$$ to not fail, rather than handle it yourself. Sometimes this will work for you, sometimes it won't.
It seems to be human nature. There's not a lot of logic in most things we do, yet we do it.

Cars don't need to be so comfortable, phones don't really need desktop grade hardware, food doesn't need to be so elaborately made, we don't need to travel to locations just to see it in person, and so on.

As such, as inefficient as it may be, people will put their bodies on other planets.

Also AGI, if it truly is intelligent, will not kill us. It is way more efficient to use humans and other animals as workforce. As good as its hardware may get, it is really hard to compete with the efficiency, versatility and durability of a human body, especially if it is enhanced.
There are definitely few things which are done in different way in Deno as part of re-design.

But that does not mean NodeJS does not take care of it or at least provide the some API to tackle that issue.

In this case, Stream interface API in NodeJS are the solution to the problem. They help you build layer over native EventEmitter interface or rather strictly speaking they help extend it.

This links might be helpful for you.

How much is Zerodium charging people for these exploits if Apple isn’t paying?

Sure, they could stick the knife in if Craig Federeghi calls up to ask how much, but you’d assume it’s nothing to Apple to spin up an arms-length subsidiary with a folksy name to buy the info through.
I'm seeing $29/y or so from multiple providers. Doesn't strike me as particularly expensive.
I think random comparisons are pretty much completely lacking in information. Fewer died in country X than country Y doesn't mean policy is better. Nor does "they have fewer cases", or "they have fewer deaths". A tiny outbreak will yield few dead regardless of policy. Not all small outbreaks necessarily become large outbreaks, despite poor policy (why, we don't know yet). What would impress me is a region that with sustainable and accepted policies contain an outbreak in a population with very low immunity. Or a region that can reach a high level of immunity without the disease reaching vulnerable groups.
Every month I end up playing the game of "will they have my medicine?" and regularly have to drive around different pharmacies to find one that can fill the prescription that day (because they only fill one every thirty days, and there is exactly a thirty day supply given, so there is zero buffer).

This becomes far more problematic if I have to travel for work (which was very common pre-COVID) and I'd literally have to drive an hour to a 24hr pharmacy and wait until 12.01am on the day of my flight, then wait half an hour to get the prescription filled, drive an hour home, then leave at 5.30am to get my morning flight.

And if the refill date occurs when I am away, I'm SOL - CA won't take a prescription from WA for a controlled substance. I usually have to ask my wife to go in early to pick it up, then spend a ton of money to overnight the medicine to my hotel.

There needs to be a system that allows for people who have been taking the same stuff for years to have SOME kind of buffer or slight flexibility. The current system is bullshit.
As a college student, don’t even get me started on Pearson/Cengage. Terrible UX, horrible glitches, and the “access codes” which only exist to shake down students for money and undermine the used textbook market.
Deep in, one study suggested 10,000 to 14,000 individuals are needed to ensure a diverse and sustainable population when the destination is reached. Elsewhere in the paper, it discusses models of childbearing, ages, etc. However, is there any model that captures the possibility that many of these 10,000's can be frozen embryos, gestated at intervals within live females, to achieve diversity without having to build egregious (vs just plain large) ships?
Rust implementation of the MySQL binlog format
We're witnessing the birth of a new category of cybernetic languages (smart gestures? tech-tactile? techtile?). Glad that Google is doing their HCI research to figure out how the tech is bounded by the human body. I imagine that at some point, you could add vibrations as another information channel to supplement sight and hearing.

How long before we see competing gesture languages? How long before there's an industry standard?
The idea that this is "history" is PR, and not even particularly good PR at that.

Right now, today, they're shipping literal malware on mainstream desktop computers around the world. Oh, and it's not open source either, lol!

The bloody operating system has targeted advertisements, intentionally unremovable (or at least very difficult to remove) components, telemetry, a keylogger-esque search function, the list goes on.

It pains me to see people shill Microsoft as if they've "turned a corner". All they're doing is the minimum possible in order to be taken seriously by some particularly easily swayed subset of developers whilst simultaneously ratcheting up the pain on the main product that they're known globally for.
Well, I don't have a epic games account. Does that count?
First, I think you mean associative. That's true, but I don't think that's likely to be the problem here? If the limits of floating point resolution cause such a big change (~80k deaths) in the simulation output, then I'd have bigger questions than the non-determinism. Yes, you can get chaotic behavior solving certain PDEs and stuff; but what in the mathematics of what's basically an extended SIR model could generate a sensitivity like that?

I agree that the non-determinism may be pseudo-random numbers used in a differing order, whether from differing seeds or from differing scheduling of multiple threads. Ideal practice would be to correct for these--a thread-safe RNG, an unsafe RNG per thread, seed saved in output files for restart, etc. That they didn't do that doesn't mean their model is wrong, just that it's harder to show that it's right. Note that even in your quote above, they hedged with "might".
