One person's effect is so slight, it's negligible. However, having an advisor helping shape the laws and policies of the country not being in top form, is much more dangerous. Bad policy can kill thousands of people.

I went out on my own a few years ago. But have been planning it for about 10 years, building up my personal branding and my client base.

My best advice is that being organized and having a system in place (like for billing, invoicing, etc.) will save you a lot of time and headaches.

Tax situations vary greatly--and it can depend on the State where you're located. What's a must is that you get a CPA who can navigate you through those muddy waters.

They also add a level of indirection, which can manifest as cache misses. If you're iterating through large numbers of objects, memory locality can be a huge gain.
Also pretty useful is Essentia [1]. It's created by the guys at Universitat Pompeu Fabra and designed for use both in research (for things like Music Information Retrieval) and in industry (iirc it's used in a guitar tuner app and a few other things). Written in c++ with python wrapper, pretty cool!

You are trying to look at a different problem. It was absolutely correct that 1/3 of the students at one table of 3 plus another 1/3 of the students at another table of 3 is the same number as 2/6 of the 6 students sitting at the two tables. This is not disputable.

The way you can write this observation mathematically is as I did: ((1/3) × 3) + ((1/3) × 3) = ((2/6) × 6), or 1 + 1 = 2, after computing the fractions. The student's observation was perfectly correct, but he was missing the proper explanation, as it is not about the addition of fractions (it is almost a coincidence that the fractions used on one side of the equation happen to have the sum of their numerator and the sum of their denominators equal to the numerator and denominator of the fraction on the other side - this only happens because we are multiplying the fractions by their denominators).

Sure, you can express this in terms of units and dimensions of you really choose to. You can also express it in terms of different definitions of +, or even of =. It is pretty unnatural to me to invent an ad-hoc measurement unit N1, "number of people at 1 table" and a different measurement unit, N2, "number of people at 2 tables", with the relation 1N2 = 2N1, and then correct the student's formula to 1/3N1 + 1/3N1 = 2/6N2. It is correct, but it is extremely artificial to me.

By far the most natural way to explain it is using the correct mathematical interpretation of the phrase "one third of the 3 people" - (1/3) × 3.

Inventing measurement units to describe exact quantities reminds me of a silly joke from Portal: "computer: 2 + 2 = 10 <pause to wonder if the computer is broken> ... in base 4". You can always find a way to make the formula direct by adding assumptions.

> Javascript is the ONLY language where people think they can just pick it up and use it with ZERO education first. Sure, they spent years learning to program in language X or Y, but even a couple days to learn Javascript is just too much effort.

The problem is not one of putting the effort in, it's even knowing where to go.

If I want to learn about how to use some new JS library/utility/webpacker, I can probably find about 30 good-quality-looking blogs/articles/documentation pages on how to do it. Most of them won't work, because they'll be out of date. This is hugely frustrating, because you don't know if it's not working because the documentation is wrong, or because you're holding it wrong.

> If you think learning NPM is hard, try telling a new dev how to setup a Java or C# build by hand. If you think webpack is hard, try teaching someone the intricacies of make.

Make is actually a brilliant example of something that's complex and daunting, but ultimately rewarding. It's easy to put the effort in to learn it because the maintainers don't change their minds every 2 minutes about what the Makefile syntax is, so learning how to use it is pretty straightforward. And once you know it, you can understand makefiles written both yesterday and decades ago.

Give me make over webpack any day of the week. I'll put money on which dies first.
Zuck doesn't care about anything healthy as long as that healthy content reduces ad revenue/and or user activity(MAU/DAU) metrics. Basically he wants to extract enough time/money from each user to just be bearable for that user that they do not leave the site in disgust. Once you realize this cardinal truth from FB all the reprehensible actions from Zuck/senior leaders make perfect sense.
> But it auto-suggests what index to use and has a button for you to immediately apply it. I'd say it definitely intends for you to avoid learning how indexes in MongoDB work. The index suggestions it makes are often terrible.

Heh, yeah, you're right. So I guess it's the worst of both worlds: they try to not have you learn about indexes, but they give you terrible index suggestions, so when those don't work out you still end up having to learn about indexes :)

Jack Dorsey has spoken about this on Joe Rogan's podcast, and he basically says that it was a judgement call where they weighed the public interest in the tweets against the violations of the tweets.

And Spotify is worth $35 billion to Facebook's $660 billion.
The point of those posts is how frequently people think they've got a security vulnerability report that isn't one which makes it harder to spot actual Windows security vulnerabilities signal in the giant noise of feedback sent to Windows and Windows adjacent teams. Many of those posts directly mention that someone on Windows took too much time (assuming "some time" is too much time), researching enough information to assure some paying support customer that the issue they found was not a security vulnerability.

I can't fault you for reading them as smug, and some of them objectively are, but the intended messaging is not making light of how many Windows security vulnerabilities happen, but of how much time is spent going in circles around non-vulnerabilities when teams could be better spent dealing with real ones.

I've found the ecosystem of porcelain for git to be pretty terrible. I usually point learners to

- http://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/
- http://think-like-a-git.net/
- and https://www.sublimemerge.com/

Sublime merge is much better than most GUIs in that it doesn't try to paper over the git concepts. It's just a UI for executing the standard commands.

I think the key features of a CLI porcelain, other than simply renaming some commands (e.g. `git branch new` rather than `git checkout -b`) would be:

- Making staging optional. Committing with no staged files would be equivalent to `git commit -A`. If you do stage files, then it would only commit staged files.

- Auto-stashing. Such that you could switch between branches, and your in-progress changes would disappear and magically pop back when you switched back to that branch. It would be as if there was an additional "working commit" that was associated with a branch without actually being part of it.
I'd argue environmental variables have the strong advantage in that you can use them in cases that won't otherwise expand, namely programs that take a path parameter immediately following an equals, e.g.

$ docker run --workdir=$dev foo

in these cases `--workdir=~dev` is not expanded and fails as docker does not understand your alias.
Funny thing is, support scales nonlinearly only while you're fixing those problems. At both ends of the spectrum it goes linear again. If you've done nothing it's linear, and after you've done everything possible it's also linear. Google is convinced the number of required personnel is zero and in any situation it isn't zero it isn't their problem.
>The move comes on the heels of Twitter's decision not to remove comment President Trump made about the death of Lori Klausutis in 2001. The president has tweeted several messages promoting a conspiracy theory that Ms Klausutis was murdered by MSNBC host Joe Scarborough.

I would be very curious to hear an explanation of this decision. Why do Tweets about mail in ballots receive a warning but tweets accusing a journalist of murder don't?

Left leaning media is going way too far with their grasp of any news narrative. Mail in voting is susceptible to fraud- that’s the truth regardless of your political affiliation. Ballots can be filled out by someone other than the voter, votes can be lost in the mail, and even stuffed by those trusted to oversee the process like in extreme cases in Philadelphia last week:

Currently use AdGuard on my phone, looks like this does almost everything AdGuard does (stats, logs, blocklists) with the added benefit of the processing being done elsewhere.
I understand this route. The President of the United States already has a gigantic platform, so it's not like he'll just go away like @nero did. This gives Twitter a chance to annotate his hate with facts, and hopefully reach his audience. Banning him just makes him a martyr, without lessening his reach.

I do wish the UI was a bit... angrier. The friendly light blue doesn't exactly scream "misinformation!"

But as they say, sunlight is the best disinfectant. Removing him from Twitter won't make him or his base any less hateful. It's a constant reminder that he needs to be removed. I think if Twitter and news organizations just started ignoring him, many people would forget how horrible he is.
This is neat, thanks.

It’s interesting that in the article they write: “A leaked demo features bright red and orange badges for tweets that are deemed "harmfully misleading."”

But currently, they didn’t use that approach. Right now the warning tag is an exclamation point circled badge with blue text.
Multiple viewers can see the same scene from different angles simultaneously.
Shareholder responsibilities. I would guess that a good chunk of Twitter users are there to read and interact with the president's tweets.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted - flippantly talking about murdering prostitutes is... not good to say the least. The choice to refer the the hypothetical prostitute as "it" is enlightening too...

My ISP (Telenet in Belgium) may just be unusually good, but, while there's fairly sparse documentation on IPv6 and their DHCPv6 only gave me a /64 by default, all I needed to do to get more was to configure my router's DHCP client to request a larger delegation. I didn't need to even contact their support line.

At the moment I'm only asking for a /60, because that's all I need, but I strongly suspect that a /56 or even larger is easily available.

I don't follow Trump on Twitter but go and look up his feed regularly by Googling 'donald trump twitter'. I always get there by the first result.

CDC Confirms Remarkably Low Death Rate – Media Chooses to Ignore
We can have school houses with children of different ages. Online classes uploaded on the cloud..maybe zoom sessions with teachers and ten kids asking questions recorded and uploaded. That way..everyone gets a turn.

Kids can learn when they want and how much they want. According to their ability and interest. Just pick what interests them most and go in depth or learn superficially.

School years are not one calender year but 5 years. So kids can learn at their own pace and have time to educate themselves rather than cram for tests. This is not to say that we should lower standards. We can still have the same metrics as we have right now but make it five years instead of one year per grade.

There can be 2-3 supervising teachers at the school house for doubts tutoring etc..But older kids also teach the younger kids. The key is to keep the overall class sizes small and have enough diversity wrt age. I am fond of 250-300 sized groups.

Maybe kids visit the school house twice a week or have school trips or travel. Children have to learn to be by themselves or with peers their age or kids slightly older than them as mentors. The further adults get away from kids, the better it is, IMO.

Child rearing is a full time job. This isn’t to say that parents don’t have a job. In fact, I think most working parents globally are moonlighting multiple jobs. Ones that pays and one that is child rearing. I blame feminism that said that women can do it all. I also blame men who keep making the joint decision to have children without considering resources.

Schools have become day care centers and nannies for kids. This isn’t an ideal situation. Sooner we lose that notion, better it would be for the world.
I would think that it bodes well for society for journalists to be excluded by private organisations in future press interactions. It only bodes poorly for the individual journalist that would be receiving special treatment from said private organisations.

Enforced exclusion from press interactions by a private organization is its own story worthy of publishing, and likely bad PR.
Did Dorsey clarify what he meant by public interests? That sounds like a vague distraction.

[Edit: Can no longer edit my above comment so putting it in a reply]

I had some time to think, I think you're right and at some point it becomes a utilitarian trade-off where there is no obvious answer, but a lot of factors that can help support/determine what the best policy is.

I think the suffering framing does move the needle away from the 'life is sacred argument' to something more actionable and specific (also honest/consistent with other beliefs often held by that crowd like the death penalty). There is a baked in assumption here that everyone is arguing in good faith though which I don't think is necessarily true (see the edit on my initial comment).
You could use GitHub actions to do the build and send it off to some CDN to deploy, or if you were self-hosting the whole thing, you could have a Flask app listen for a webhook and re-build your site when that's received. Or simply pull in from the git origin and rebuild with a cron job.
If Covid second wave happens in November, large scale mail in ballot efforts could lead to the biggest voter turn out in American history.
It could easily be argued that the diversity you describe (one where color, gender, ethnicity is not considered) is better described as a meritocracy. Some believe that a meritocracy leads naturally to a diverse workforce, while others oppose this viewpoint believing that a meritocracy inherently privileges some select group. I don't see a way to reconcile these perspectives.

Some believe that members of selected groups should be privileged over others to make up for historic/systemic biases and that is diversity. Others see this as hypocritical new form of *-ism.

Some believe that diversity is achieved when your pool of talent is reflective of, and represents the community, but what community? Is it the community that represents your clients, the community that represents your job applicants, the community that represents the region you do business in? Some believe that diversity is achieved when your pool of talent is reflective of all possible communities.

Some believe that diversity means "not the privileged class" (however they want to define it). Some believe a predominantly white college is not diverse, while a predominantly black college is, others will say neither college is diverse as they don't have the requisite representation of some other community of interest.

Finally, I believe it is not possible at the moment to pick a universal definition for diversity given the diametrically opposed views surrounding "affirmative action" and "meritocracy". Each camp believes their perspective leads to diversity while the other's lead to oppression. These are just the various (potentially conflicting) interpretations of diversity that come to mind. I want to be clear here that I am not taking a stand on any definition of "diversity" just that this term clearly means different things to different people. I also want to be clear that I believe companies can pick a definition and strive to actualize it. Even giant multi-nationals. In the end, any objective to promote diversity is probably better than no objective to do so.

For what it is worth, Forbes maintains a list of the "Best Workplaces for Diversity".
