If you don't like people defending themselves against plain clothed intruders with guns they legally bought, then maybe you need to revoke the 2A.

Most cops don't need guns. Almost no normal civilians need guns. The entire developed world that's not the USA gets by just fine without the 'right' to own a semi-automatic machine gun.

> Could you make money by producing a cheap "dumb" flash memory where you have raw access

The problem is that low-level or "raw" access to flash is not that well-defined and not "cheap" or "dumb" at all. SD cards and eMMC storage are cheap and use very baseline FTL's, but what they provide is far from "low-level" access - you can't even erase a block and write sub-blocks on it individually, which is the basic operation in any flash translation layer.
The (synchronous) 0.4s per move number is misleading (and wrong), that's not what the paper is saying.
The "footnote 1" of the article is wrong.
The bottom line is: trans activists are a mob. I don't care for them. They can live in a bubble.
I worked in a place where if you commented your code you would fail the code-review.

I had a mate who worked at a place where the code once it was checked in was ran through a processor that deleted comments!
Human does not learn Go from the scratch on himself. He's using teachers, books which present compressed knowledge which was crystallized from many millions of human hours.

If you would ask someone to learn Go, but only present him rules of the game, he'll likely be weak player (although probably with some original strategies).
Carmack isn't saying you should do it for performance reasons, he's saying you should inline code and eschew abstractions because it makes code better. I tend to agree.

I personally think that almost all the abstractions we use are totally unnecessary and we should instead just code the solution top to bottom. This works especially well in array languages, when the name of a user defined function might very well be 2 times longer than the function itself. For example, no need to ever define a function called "flatten" to flatten a list if I can instead just write ",/".

Moreover, function definitions are bad because they wipe your working memory. It's better if everything is packed together, ideally as densely as possible.

If we did things differently, it would entirely be possible for an entire 5 man team's code output for the year be 1-10 pages of code. And it would do 10000x what the blub languages we use today do.
'This is our moment' – Steve Jobs
I agree that variables names should be short, but not "as short as possible". They should be as short as possible while remaining unambiguous and avoiding loading short-term memory.

"allOutstandingOrders" does not look to me like a long variable name.

> Make your code as terse and dense as possible

I really hope I never get to work with any code you've written.

> Make your variable names abbrevations or acronyms, like instead of 'convertInt', call it 'ci'

I'm starting to think this comment is satire now.

If I have to read the comments on a function or variable to figure out what it does then my productivity is going to be absolutely kneecapped if I'm a newcomer to your project.
That is a good point! Our workers have Android phones which are at least 6 years old. Later after the test period, I am planning to provide them with a tablet specifically for running this App.
Everyone discussing this issue needs to be very upfront and clear on whether they're talking about sex or gender. Sports leagues are explicitly about biological sex, and not gender. Your statement is not applicable here and is often used to add confusion and outrage while preventing any forward progress.

Perhaps there needs to be new vocabulary to describe sex and gender separately but that's a different topic. As for fairness, this is the best we can do on a broad scale between male and female because of the vast differences. After that we leave it to the individual to decide which sport best fits their physicality and interests.
I am a bit confused by the legal structure of this business:
Article states that just eat is dutch, but it is not based in the Netherlands.
It is a UK company that used to be based in Denmark.
According to Wikipedia it recently merged with Takeaway but is still operating as a subsidary with its own brand.

Because Chris Cox hasn't said anything about the issue.

They co-authored the bill. They almost certainly had similar aims when doing so.

If there is no indication the other party has any difference in opinion, has not spoken out to disagree with the party mentioned, and there is no real reason to believe there would be a difference in opinion, why should I not be allowed to quote the only explanation from an authoritative party on the matter?

The answer is that that's perfectly allowable and that I am not being dishonest.
Sure, we will fab your design how many units do you need? We can manufacture 2000000 for you. Oh, you don't need that many? Is 250000 low enough?
> You're convinced hard equals impossible.

No I'm convinced it's pointless because herd immunity is inevitable and essentially free.

Testing somebody in the morning, then them going to the grocery store in the afternoon, is pointless.

Testing takes a significant amount of resources per test, which we don't have to do 300 million tests per week.

If you walk through the problem at this point, there is no solution for the US. Mother Nature won this time, and people like you are shouting into the wind.

Even if there was a vaccine tomorrow, there's enough anti-vaxxers that it won't be 100% applied. And it better be a free vaccine, because half the population is unemployed at this point and they're not paying $100 for non-essentials.
I nearly threw up as soon as he revealed his win-gnome frankendesktop. This is NOT what was supposed to happen.
My TLDR:

> 1h of up-front thinking about the problem and your solution can save you days of refactoring, testing, debugging. The author proposes writing specifications as good way of up-front thinking.

Authors own conclusion:

> There is nothing magical about specification. It will not eliminate all errors. It cannot catch coding errors; you will still have to test and debug to find them. (Language design and debugging tools have made great progress in catching coding errors, but they are not good for catching design errors.) And even a formal specification that has been proved to satisfy its required properties could be wrong if the requirements are incorrect. Thinking does not guarantee that you will not make mistakes. But not thinking guarantees that you will.
So did the machine, albeit indirectly.
Arrest should be made nevertheless, on the grounds of possible witness intimidation. I'm not saying that they do it all the time, but the power dynamics allow it to happen, so the best approach for a crystal clear investigation is to have the officers removed from the community that is investigating them.
That is troubling. Do you have references for that?
Thanks for your feedback! All contributions are welcome. It will be nice if you can provide some specific ideas and resources for a better design.
Star Trek Addressed the Issue of Racism
Honestly: I don't know enough about drug production to say. That said:

I can see how one generic would be vastly more to produce than another. For example: Prozac's generic is widely taken, as are generic antibiotics and antihistamines. These probably don't require a special batch of pills and can pretty well have dedicated machinery that gets used fully.

In contrast: One Multiple Sclerosis drug, a pill, recently became generic. MS isn't exactly as widespread as allergies, depression, or bacterial infections and not everyone on MS takes this drug. It is cheaper than the name brand - which can easily cost $5k per month - but even as a generic, it is a specialty medicine. I'm not convinced the price is fair in this case, but I am guessing that the manufacturing is quite a bit more expensive due to things like cleaning the old drug out before batching this one and working in smaller batches.

I also sometimes have questions about the difficulty in producing different chemicals: I'm sure some drugs take more power and more steps than others.

Unfortunately, though, there is little to no transparency in drug prices and they don't have to justify their prices to insurances - though, IIRC, some nations do require some types of justification (must work better than the lower-priced alternative already on the market, for example).
OTOH, I expect that avoiding human evolutionary priors is necessary for superhuman performance.
>However, as Magdalen was a great believer in the importance of biological sex, and didn’t believe lesbians should be called bigots for not dating trans women with penises, dots were joined in the heads of twitter trans activists, and the level of social media abuse increased

Wait, what? Are you considered a bigot for not wanting to date someone who doesn't have the genitals you prefer? Can someone shed some light on this please?
That's really weird. Her in Norway (and Scandinavia generally I believe) I never pay my bank any fees. There are no minimum balance requirements. I also have a bank account in the UK and that is pretty similar. It only costs me if I go into the red.
Just eat was acquired by Takeaway which is a Dutch company. From your link "It was listed on the London Stock Exchange until it was acquired by Takeaway.com in February 2020."

You can definitely spend unlimited money on hand tools, but you don't have to. You get very far with just a few tools that you either buy second hand or buy new but avoid the the most expensive brands as well as the cheapest ones.

Most importantly, with hand tools you don't have to have a big permanent wood shop. The tools don't take as much space, and most importantly, you don't have to set up dust collection etc.
'Free' markets are fine there are a multitude of ways to avoid competition without regulatory oversight. From lying about weights & measures to monopolies.

What capitalists fear is a competitive or perfect market. But you'll never see anything close without strict policing of firms.
Context: the traditional owners of the land have a strong cultural connection to country. Just because there isn't a physical manifestation of history in built form, doesn't make it any less relevant or important. It just seems to make it less relevant to you.

Why do cheques still exist? We haven't had them here in Norway for twenty years.

The answer seems very immature to me. Just because we have a president which folks hate doesn't mean companies should just go and represent left idelogies.
These platforms were built once by folks who believed in freedom of speech and opinions.

We are clearly leaving *63M+ people in USA when we make content moderation choices which are left-friendly. I'm not into talking politics. I wish these platforms allow freedom of speech which was one of the founding principles in early days of Internet.
Staining pine and to some extent pine in general is not something that you see in American woodworking outside of early beginner work.
on a side note, I'm still disappointed to see that they didn't improve on the EAPM restriction to truly show they can beat humans without machine-y advantages.

Still what they have accomplished is a miracle.
The other transatlantic issue I notice is space. North American content tends to assume "shop" space on a scale that's much less likely to be available to the average UK person.
It's only not a useful thing to do if you care about innocent people being wrongfully convicted, which is as you look at the US justice system[0] is debatable. From an outside perspective the US justice system seems to care more about the false negative than the false positive rate of conviction.

There is already a whole slew of dubious methods[1] (bite mark analysis, blood splatter analysis, fibre comparison) being used to put people in prison/to death, these things are known to be bullshit, but they are still being used. I really think we as technology-literate people should fight as hard as we can against the introduction of facial recognition in the justice system because once it becomes common place it will be really hard to undo it.

Just Eat are getting too big. They destroyed Hungry House by buying it a few years ago. This was before Deliveroo and Uber Eats were known to most people. Seems like Just Eat are afraid of competition.
> only 5% of people killed by police in the US were unarmed. The other 95% were armed

You say this so casually, like the 95% of people killed deserve to be dead? Most other developed countries had problems with guns, and have dealt with it by restricting them, not by making the police militarised and just shooting more 'bad guys'
Looking for simple implementation of primal and dual algorithms.
Your product is worthless if nobody is using it.
Had a similar experience.

Typed languages are great for systems development, and I think, not so good for writing web applications.

I also think, Ruby, Python, JS have dominated web dev world largely cause they don't come in the way of the developer having to constantly convert HTML (untyped) and JS (untyped)into types for the backend programming language.

Remember how ActiveRecord (not sure about SQLAlchemy) simply took away the pain of managing types? You didn't have to explicitly parse or cast "0.001" into 0.01.
This is great! I've been messing around with OpenSCAD and a Clojure script that generates an ergonomic keyboard for 3D printing: https://github.com/ibnuda/dactyl-keyboard/tree/refaktor

The Clojure - OpenSCAD script is amazing but also extremely slow (and I'm no good with Clojure even after staring at it for hours).

The Python OpenSCAD link seems way faster and that suggested workflow is great!

Happy to read this. It'll save me many hours. Seeing code getting converted into 3D renderings that you can actually 3D print (or woodwork) into real life is super cool.
IMHO this is the worst of both worlds. Comments very easily get out of sync with the code then.

I prefer the comments to stand out more than the code. Also helps eliminating useless filler comments since they are so noticeable. If you have comments, they should be important and helpful.
> Do not leave any other types of comments! Ever! Not even method docs.

Have you ever looked at a very large project(blue whale as I'd like to call them)? In 10 years time, 90% of the people who have worked on it initially will be gone from the company (or stopped contributing if it's an open source project). You are making everyone else's life a nightmare. To my mind the one project that got it bang on is postgres. It is by no means a library and the community's approach is perfect. Open up any of the source code files at random and you'll see what I'm on about. Just scrolling through the code and comments once will be enough for you to figure out exactly what is there and why.
>>" I wonder what the eventual value proposition of working on this sort of stuff is."

It seems to me that, if you only take it as a marketing operation, it has been already very valuable.
My wife went to the ER (in Manhattan) with septicemia a week after giving birth. She was left lying on a stretcher for 17 hours without as much as water to drink before they finally "found" a room for her. (Thankfully she recovered.)

A few months later, a friend who works at the hospital told me: I wish you had called me, I could have gotten you a room. And I thought: this is just like a third world country, where you need connections to get basic care.
Maintenance on power tools isn’t great outside of the most expensive options though, like makita, stihl, etc.
How strange - I've always found comments useful. As I'm not a developer but sometimes have to edit different files in the code just to enable/add in new parameters (so engineering resource isn't needed to be planned in), it's always been helpful to have explicit guidance in the code as to what I'm reading is doing. Still get a code review afterwards anyway, but minimises risk.

If you're expecting non-developers to sometimes interact with your code or to help with troubleshooting, in-line comments will always be appreciated.
>and there are ways to obtain justice that are not available in most other countries (mass media, social media, courts).

How many countries in the world do you imagine don't have courts, social media or mass media? Or even lack any of the above?
Our main compute doesn't go towards machine learning, but we do rely heavily on GPU power. I recently had to come up with the figures for us to invest in an expansion of our compute power, and it turned out that buying the machines ourselves would be cheaper than renting them from Google in 3-4 months.

We don't run on those fancy V100 cards though, just regular old gaming cards suffice, and I suppose if we bought the "industrial" nvidia versions it would a take a bit longer to recoup, but still definitely within the year.

Anyway what I'm saying is that it's probably possible to to this a lot cheaper than 36M, though maybe not in such a short time. Our startup is extremely cash intensive, and I bet machine learning companies are as well (I suppose machine learning experts aren't cheap ;)), so if we can put in some work and safe a big portion off our hardware costs that really goes the distance.

Right. It's normal to be able to buy and sell land, but having land rights shouldn't mean that you suddenly own heritage sites that it might hold. Heritage sites should by definition not be buyable by individuals since they inherently belong to the collective.
It's just too easy that any hobby becomes spending hours drooling over equipment you want to buy rather than actually doing stuff (whether it is woodworking or playing the guitar). This is one reason I really like Paul Sellers: You don't need so much.

Yes, I think in the modern world with these methods and massive data sets being used in law enforcement, medical sector etc, the people working there should undergo a lot of training about how basic Bayesian inference works etc. We are otherwise in a world of hurt. Healthy people being told they have some really serious rare diseases, maybe even starting treatment, innocent people being prosecuted or killed during raids etc.
oh for sure. "here is my shop space, some spare room" thats the size of my entire house. And on the table top gaming front, very envious of US households i see with their similarly sized D&D room with a floor space that rivals my entire ground floor.
Or you know, have all individuals compete with each other regardless of gender. And if we're not happy with the above suggestion, then we need to define why such a competition would be unfair. Once we can answer that "why" without gender or sex being involved, then everyone will be happy because it'll be as fair as can be had in a diverse society with a range of opinions. That'll include people that are not convinced on the gender/sex debate.

The problem now is that we're being polarized on an emotional issue with both sides being demonized. E.g. One side says the other is hateful of trans people, the other side says trans is being pushed on them unfairly, etc. If we rather focus on the facts and amoral concepts (e.g. testosterone count), and drive opinion/policy based on that, there is good chance that we can all coexist without having to force opinions and understanding on both sides where it's largely unwanted. Only then can we come together and have a single, happy view on the topic as a society.
Thank you for saying this. I'm the woodshop steward at NovaLabs and I can't tell you how under appreciated FWW is. People bring in half baked plans some YouTube/Instagram influencer all too often. Most if the time they don't even have a cutsheet.
There is really no excuse for "accidentally" routing through Chinese servers for a service. To me the reasons are as shallow as Google's "error in algorithm".

Just recently YouTube "accidentally" deleted the account of a pro-democracy channel in Hong Kong with more than 600k subscribers [1]. Incidentally, this has never happened to pro-Chinese channels.

I guess I missed the subtlety in the article :)

Mind is I ask: are all large corps in this space the same or are Amazon particularly bad? It seems to me that get a bad wrap in retail more because they have no PR than because they do things more harshly than other retailers...
Pick one area to specialise in, re-write your CV to emphasise all the things you did related to the specialisation. You can even change previous job titles to match your new field of expertise.

This is the way any field goes when the technology advances. In the 1960s most people working on computers then were effectively electronic engineers, computer scientists and software developers all at the same time. Now in 2020, you will be hard pressed to find a software company that cares about your knowledge of ohm's law and similarly you won't find an embedded electronics company that cares about your experience with state management in React.
> Is the bad guy a couple of cops who we hold to the impossible standard of not returning fire?

How is that an impossible standard? Holding your fire and retreating is certainly an option. It carries more risk, but if you're going to dress in plain clothes and serve a no-knock warrant, that's a risk you must accept up-front.

The existence of no-knock warrants is also to blame, of course; banning them entirely would likely have prevented this.
> Then you're doing it wrong.

Presumably they mean that if you use your web cam with zoom they would be able to construct a 3D model of your face from the camera feed as you move your head around.
The App can be adjusted very quickly to serve similar business fields. You need only to change the products and properties in the data classes and some calculations logic. Of course, our real data is not open-sourced. I could not find similar solutions in the market so I decided to take the initiative to build one.
