If you re-read the last sentence of the GP's comment ("To an average small investor, shares in almost every company might as well be Magic cards. Their only value is to sell them later to a different collector"), I think that you're strengthening their position rather than disagreeing with them.

In context, the GGP is positing that stocks should have a higher rate of return than other modes of investment because, to paraphrase, "companies create value". The point of the GP is that perceived value to investors drives the stock price more than value to society, thus countering the notion that stocks are inherently "better".

Within the US interstate travel is protected by the Constitution In my non-expert opinion the government could hypothetically ground all flights, and could restrict an individual with just cause, but to blanketly restrict interstate travel seems illegal on the face of it. Crossing national boundaries is a different kind of beast.

FWIW we've seen some kinds of restrictions already knocked down as unconstitutional. https://www.bizpacreview.com/2020/04/28/judge-slaps-down-ill...

This is a short term prediction - it will be interesting to see how remote work plays out over time.

I had done it a few years back and it is very disconnecting, that human interaction is important. Remote staff might be fine for a few months, but those remote people may be without local community - being a nerd in rural parts, I don't relate as much to this community as I would in a more nerd populated area. I think a lot of the dynamics of the bay area is there is a lot of competitive dynamics at play not just in your company but peers in your community,

I can see where on both sides (management/staff) it can add additional stress with lack of immediate one-to-one interaction and increased distance monitoring/recording.
Very excited to share my latest Mac app, Glance!

Quick Look is a very handy and time-saving feature for Mac power users. By pressing the Space bar, it allows you to peek into files without opening them. macOS supports previews for various file types out of the box. However, there are also many that aren't supported, especially files that developers usually interact with. I used to have five different apps installed to support such files (one for code, one for JSON, one for Markdown, etc.). But it bothered me that their previews don't have a consistent look, don't support Dark Mode, and that some of them might stop working in the future because they still use a deprecated macOS API.

Glance solves all these problems and combines the features of many plugins into one. It provides consistent and beautiful previews. The app is completely free, open source and easy to extend for new file types!

Yep, Bruce Schneier has written some interesting articles over the years about this - how people perceive risks like terrorism as high, despite the reality.

Ultimately it seems to be about what fits the government's narrative, more than anything else. Whatever they can use to spread fear is something they perceive as good - it deflects from real issues at home, and can be used to justify otherwise dubious actions (e.g. having a populace scared of terrorism was the perfect situation for invading Iraq).
I'd imagine you're right, I don't know enough about that to say otherwise.

I suggest taking a look at the dragon portfolio

https://taylorpearson.me/thedragon/

The basic idea is that you create a balanced portfolio of assets that are negatively correlated with each other so that, over a very long time horizon , your wealth retains its value even in the face of uncertainty, black swan events, and volatility. An example would be owning an equal proportion of stock, cash, bitcoin, gold, fixed income, commodities, and volatility. (Harder for the average person to get exposure to commodities and volatility - but I think bitcoin checks those boxes).

Edit: include original paper that describes the portfolio by Christopher Cole:

Eh, no, i'm not exaggerating. I really have a hard time following the flow of the posted code. I can get a rough idea of what it is doing by ignoring most of the Modern C++-isms, but i still can't tell you with confidence that i know exactly what is going to happen (...and i'm not asking for an explanation, btw, that is besides the point :-P).

I mean, sure, if i take that code and run it through a debugger - perhaps while also crossreferencing the features it uses at cppreference.com - then i'd be able to follow it. However at that point any relevance to readability would have been thrown out of the window long ago.
The term "flu vaccine" is as meaningful as "glass of liquid". Depends what's in the glass. The content of vaccines vary across geographical regions and their very purpose is to interact with the immune system. The precise contents of previous vaccines should be tracked and analyzed in studies of elderly immune system responses to SARS-Cov-2.
I don’t think it’s pointless.

Creating a bug report with Jira can be as simple as filling in a summary and a (optional) description, then click submit. If you use issue collectors, you may not even need an account in the system or directly access the Jira application to report the issue.

No need for snark, I did read the article. I was just pointing out the irony that it was a big deal when the JVM moved away from green threads and now it’s a big deal when it moves back. It’s a comment on the hype cycle. And, as I said in my OP, it’s a good change and I’m happy to see it.

(And if you want to be pedantic, IIRC the green threads were originally mapped to the Java process, not a thread, because threads were either unavailable or immature in Linux when Java 1 came out; I can’t remember which)
Version numbers: how to use them in your libraries (Python)?
Well some jobs are shitty but some one needs to do them . Economic incentives help in making sure someone does them.

Richer a country becomes lesser people in that country want to do those jobs, it is true even here in the U.S. most of the jobs illegal immigrants do, have few takers
in the legal job market .

FAANG outsource the ugly work to other companies , for example watching flagged video content is one worst jobs out there , most of this is not done in-house . Many of the service jobs in their campuses are done by staff not on their payroll, who don’t enjoy the same benefits . Even for pure tech roles they use contract staff in good amounts who don’t necessarily get the same benefits .

There are good reasons for this Facebook is not expert at say building a good team of security guards and they should perhaps leave it to experts

The point remains someone got to do these jobs , it does not mean UBI should not happen. Localised implementations mean these problems have to studied and solved for .

The drive to automate jobs increases when average pay is higher , for example you will find a lot more cooks, maids and security (gatekeepers) in developing countries in wealthier economies you will find more roombas, more home automation etc.

There is no incentive for self driving in say India , economically it won’t make sense given cheap availability of labour . Self driving is going to replace millions of jobs in the U.S. the upfront investment all the big companies are doing will not make economic sense if labour was cheaper.

UBI will increase the standard of living which in turn drives the need to automate making UBI more needed as lesser jobs are out there etc.
It’s common enough to be damn inconvenient if the ability just suddenly disappears.

If it happens on all sites at the same time it’s one thing. If it happens on just your site I will just feel like your site is icky (and I might not even know why).
What people believe about other things is irrelevant.

The fact that a lot of people are hypocrites for being dismissive of COVID-19 is true, but completely unrelated to whether being dismissive of it is rationally warranted.

Conservatives who thought starting wars because of terrorism was justified and liberals who think shutting down civilization for months because of a moderately lethal viral pandemic is justified might both be wrong.

If you're looking for a general-purpose tablet computer I think the Surface lineup is nearly unparalleled, with some important caveats.

You get a very well built machine with the best aspect ratio (3:2), Win10 tablet mode is decent _and_ you can drop back to full Windows whenever you want. This is a double edged sword - if you get a good tablet interface for a program it's wonderful, but sometimes you're reduced to pecking at the screen for mouse targets in legacy Win32 apps (the pen or cover with trackpad is helpful here).

For me, the ability to run any software I want is worth the rough edges and inconsistency compared to an iPad. I have WSL for local dev with full Linux utilities, real Photoshop, alternate browsers, Steam games, etc. I can install whatever nifty little Windows utilities or tweaks I want, customize the machine exactly as I like it, and I feel like I have lot more ownership over the machine as a result. That flexibility definitely comes with a cost compared to the out-of-the-box experience with an iPad.

As for the Go itself, its a really cute little computer but somewhat underpowered compared to a Surface Pro or Surface Book. I know a couple of people using them as their main computers and the feedback is pretty positive, FWIW.
Yes, Rust is making a smart marketing decision by capitalizing on C programmers' antipathy towards C++ (and everyone else's).

US citizen asking here, to dispel any immediate ambiguity: what sort of papers do you mean, or what examples in other countries is there that you speak to?

Example, the closest thing to “papers” here-if I understand your “papers” to mean identification, would be a “driver’s license” (or just a plain state ID card which one is not compelled to possess, at least not at the National level) but that’s more a thing certifying your knowledge of how to safely operate a motor vehicle, understand local laws and the like-which I understand to be consistent with some other countries.

It’s not really a document certifying one has “permission” to travel freely about the country though. If I wanted to walk from a Charleston South Carolina to San Francisco, and cross every state border along the way, I’m allowed to. This level of freedom is illustrated pretty beautifully in a scene from the movie Forrest Gump

> "historic returns of 7% in s&p"

Seven percent is generally accepted as the expected market return over a period of time sufficiently long enough to mitigate systemic risk, not that seven percent is the highest return in market history. Or said another way, if there's ever a chance to buy a treasury bill with a seven percent or better return, take it, because that's the best you'll earn in the market but with much much much less risk.
Super relevant!

A lot of people are making arguments without keeping things in perspective. First, people die. That is a fact of life. Our attempt to smooth out nature will be smyted in time. It will snap back. We are spending too much money. We are creating a fear-driven easily controlled society. We are encouraging censorship.

All of this stuff is very bad. Do you agree with that?

Cleverness in this case means:

- Too many jumps in code logic instead of serial logic

- Premature optimization 1: messy code (using lots of unclear variables etc), this is common within calculations, and games have quite some of those.

- Premature optimization 2: failing to properly architect

- Single-character variables. Java IDEs default to fullvars

- Bad function/method names

- Not expressing what you mean (for i= vs foreach)

- Too many abstraction layers / IoC

- Too many sideeffects / complex code (interwoven code)

- Callback hell

Nr 1 is important.. You need to be able to "follow the code". If that requires you to create a DSL in order to code something async in a serial way, then by all means do so.

For example with: network (duh.), but also in games: character dialogs, animations etc. etc.

This is a huge thing. Also, if Jira doesn’t directly support your specific workflow, the API and Export functions provide a lot of information to do this for you.

This reporting gets useful once you have a stable team and you want to identify issues in your process and back your theories up with data.

Let’s say you struggle to meet expected delivery dates (based off estimates), have a look at a chart of your cycle times. Do they take longer than a week, with a wide variance in when they get delivered? Maybe you’re not breaking down work enough, or you’re getting blocked (committed too early).

Check a chart of the number of tickets in each status every day, that might tell you that things get backed up waiting for review or deployment, so discuss that.

Simpler tools don’t really provide this information. Is it always necessary? On greenfield work with a smaller company, almost certainly not, but as your product and company gets more complex, having access to this, and presenting it to your team, gets more valuable.

> As to being slow. I only had this issue once with a small dev shop self hosting in a closet. At a large enterprise with over 10,000 engineers using Jira, not including the non-engineers using it, it was always lightning fast for the self hosted version.

Contra-point: I use Jira for <1,000 users, it's hosted on a single instance (128G mem 64vCPUs), with a seperate database server and it takes 30s to load my backlog. (And I'm not exaggerating, truly, each page load takes 1-30 seconds, direct ticket views to to kanban board).

I looked at running multiple servers, but it seems like our license doesn't allow that. Which is another issue with Jira, it's licensed on the server level.

Work for the lawers? In my experience, it creates work for the developers, who maintain the automated license checks; rejects changes missing the nessasarry copyright; deal with files that cannot have a copyright notice for technical reasons; notice when they want to merge in a file with an incomopatable copyright.

Yeah, the weird thing is that this is not an atlas packer! It's a very crude long texture with arbitrary bounds, and most GPUs have a maximum texture dimensions, so given enough particles this would have broke. Even a simple skyline algorithm to pack rectangles would have worked far better and it's hard to see how to make that into modern C++ like the author shows.
