The problem with this way of thinking is that "the actual mathematics of our universe that I care about" doesn't (yet?) exist. The definitions you find badly chosen have been thought about, hard, by many generations of very smart people. Some with the same basic reaction to all this you have. And yet, after all that, the definitions remain. And the alternatives proposed, at best are not compelling.

So why? Real & Complex analysis are by far the best way humans have yet come up with to model certain things, particularly modeling a large subset of physical interactions in the universe.

So to some degree we are stuck with this. Mostly it's the fact that fields like R an C are actually pretty strange objects. Strange in ways that are hard to get your head around, and that leak out into any mathematics that you build on top of it.

So what to do? There is beauty there as well. And although we have tricks to hide most of this, most of the time, it's not a bad thing really that when you look closely the weirdness is apparent.
The syntax is nicer.

Granted, I'm not very familiar with D. I didn't even know it had a borrow checker.

Rust took a lot of great features from Haskell, while keeping itself reasonably approachable from a C/C++/D/Java programmer's perspective.

Rust put type names after variable/function/parameter names, which really cleans up the syntax nicely.

Rust has very nice syntax for pattern matching, monads, and a slew of other really helpful functional language features.

Even if rust didn't have a borrow checker, it would still be a wonderful systems programming language.
Ok, so the name gives the correct implication to pilots and everyone else will be confused, and that's the perfect name for it?

I don't have a problem with the name. If increasing the safety of the system is your priority driver focus detection seems a much better complaint.

But if I have to read another comment explaining that it's fine because it fits the technical definition from aviation I'm going to scream.

It's such a simplistic summation of a genuinely complicated question.

For instance the AP style guide has given guidelines on language to use for partially autonomous vehicles. They're concerned enough to take it seriously.

I’m sorry that the both of you have to deal with this. I’ve read many of the replies here and I’m surprised there isn’t already a self-service website that does this. Pay some money, record some text, and boom here’s your voice. Something like this should exist. Someone should build this.
Thank you. this is very useful and will certainly work for my use case.

Debugging Lisp Part 1: Recompilation
> I can imagine if you're in a country with a thousand deaths a day, things don't look good.

You're obviously referring to the US during the pandemic of 1968-1969, which - as everyone knows - ended the United States forever, because things were so bad in tandem with the severe civil chaos occurring at the time (which was worse than anything going on now in multiple ways). The US never recovered; its superpower status, its wealth and power all vanished from there. Oh wait, that didn't happen at all.

I'm in the US, the future looks great, if you can see beyond the tip of your nose. Historically the US always improves thanks to the types of challenges that are going on now, rather than getting worse. In my short lifetime I've lived through several occasions of: 'things are so bad, this is the end of the US' type over-drama (which is farcical).

The US is radically more resilient than people outside of the US will ever understand. It's why the never-ending expectations of our national demise and erosion, going all the way back to our formation, have always turned out so embarrassingly wrong. They're wrong now as well.

What surprises me is observing the foreign/outside estimation of what it takes to essentially break a nation. I'm surprised the rest of the world is so fragile, they're mentally projecting their own low breaking points onto the US in the criticism.
I am willing to bet they just did not want to hear about these cards anymore, and this is as far as they can go since they do not have a magic lamp to wish them all a way.

Personally, I think the art for Imprison is gorgeous, but depicting violence against people of color is dehumanizing and problematic, so I understand and support the decision.
> I never understand why likeminded people don’t just start a city?

Mostly, probably, because starting a city has a process defined in state law (or, out of the US, law of some other higher level of government) which is different than “a bunch of people just buy up land and decide to declare it a city”, e.g., California’s LAFCO process.

Ask HN: Have you ever buy a product before it was built?
Did you (or your company) ever committed to pre-buying a new product or service, before it was even built?

What were the conditions of payment, and how confident were you in your purchase?

I often hear that, for B2B products and services, you can (and maybe should) validate your idea by getting pre-sales. For B2C, I guess there's Kickstarter, where you might get "fans-only" benefits for being an early-adopter.

In B2B, I'm wondering what it's like to be on the buyer's side, and why a company would choose to pay for something that doesn't even exist yet.
That's... not how webpages work. This is why the AGPL even exists.
Speaking on your comment about plagiarism, my second term there was a student who submitted their Java homework in a Word document. It contained two screenshots. The first was of the NetBeans IDE. The second was of their browser opened to a Github page that contained the answer to the assignment. They'd un-destructively cropped the second using Word. They made it look like it was typed into NetBeans. I was able to track down the original source.
And sure, if I had unlimited time I could get an Arduino and a circuit board and build one myself, but I just want it to work because I have other things to do.

Well said. It's about checked power - abolishing police totally would just end up with them recreated again when the need arises, but without the proper infrastructure to control them.

What we really need is a system of accountability and control over police. Police should be as accountable for their actions and mistakes as every other citizen (equality under the law!), or at least that's the idea.

We can start by:

- getting rid of police unions that hide information and do stuff like have police be judged by three of their peers, one picked by the accused, and prevent police from getting fired.

- get rid of qualified immunity

And so on.
That's not what Netflix says.

https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23931

Netflix is available in Ultra HD on Windows computers and tablets. To stream in Ultra HD, you will need:

A Windows 10 computer or tablet with the latest Windows updates installed.

The Microsoft Edge browser or the Netflix app for Windows 10.

A 60Hz 4K capable display (with HDCP 2.2 connection if external display).

NOTE: Every monitor connected to your computer must meet these requirements to successfully stream in Ultra HD.
Intel's 7th generation Core CPU (i3, i5, or i7 models in the 7xxx or 7Yxx series) or newer, or a NVIDIA GPU that meets these requirements.

A plan that supports streaming in Ultra HD. You can check which plan you're currently on at netflix.com/ChangePlan.

> the airflow indeed also pushes the brass disk forward

The force on the disk is caused by an opposite force on the fan blades, cancelling them out (since they are connected by the frame and the bearings), so it cannot cause the fan to rotate.

The rotation is due simply to unbalanced thrust from the fan. The unimpeded side produces more thrust than the impeded side, so the fan turns to that side.
Some people are complaining the range is not nearly what is needed for long-range. But it is fine for local and regional trucking, which is a huge source of carbon and air pollution.

Beyond that, batteries are getting better every year, so the range is going to keep increasing until it is long-range.

You know, I think a lot of the people who are critical of the Tesla semi are really members of the fossil fuels forever club who think diesel trucks are just great.

Expensive housing and expensive college go a long way when combined with decreasing disposable income, stress, and career ambitions. It's almost like we're one global organism responding to our own environmental pressure.
Fixed, the former is correct, the latter I think is a bashism that may not work. Unfortunately I plucked that from a project in a very broken state.

> I can't see how your example relates to static or dynamic typing, though.

Because with static typing you know the object/file graph at compile time and only affected tests need to be run. In that example the .test files will only be built when their dependencies change and .testresult will only be created if .test is built, everything is incremental and "make test" won't execute any tests if there are no changes that could affect them.
But the paper is clear to state that only about a third of the difference can be attributed to composition.

I fully disagree with dressing up at work as being important. I fully agree that many of our problems at work stem from folks trying to prove that they are competent/best at something they are largely ignorant at. Some of these people dress up professionally to help hide their lack of effectiveness.

Dressing up for work is value signalling. "oh, a blazer? They are important." When it comes to client interactions, depending on the culture of the industry, being more professionally dressed is important. First impressions and all that. Self-confidence can be boosted by your appearance and that can help when interacting with folks. I've seen it work for folks that talk on the phone to customers. The other thing that helps boost confidence? Actually knowing what you are talking about :) I may not trust an investment representative as much if they are in their sweat pants compared to a suit. But for knowledge workers, I think there is a boon to being comfortable.
Measuring developer productivity is notoriously difficult. No two tasks are the same, have the same scope or same pre-defined requirements. There seems to be lots of "bad ways" so I recommend if you need to measure "something" to pick a metric that you feel you want to improve and measure it. Your staff will naturally adjust to improve want is measured.

I want to challenge your assertion that every other department has numbers to back their performance. I am skeptical this is true. I don't image HR can bring a meaningful set of numbers to the table demonstrating month to month or quarterly improvement.
In looking at the CS curricilum this looks more like an extended bootcamp. Most regular university courses are not there, the credits/classes won't transfer to full universities, and you're left with a "degree" that pales in comparison to a "regular" degree. Plus you've spent about $5,000 to get their paper. I guess "accredited degree" just doesn't mean the same thing to as what I was thinking.
See my above comment. We should have basically made the police equal to all other citizens (with the increase in self- and other- defense abilities that are required for the general public to make that possible), where the only difference is that the police are actively doing defense as a job. And police should be sued and arrested just like everyone else is.

Probably not none of us, but when the system collapses due to lack of resources the number of humans will drastically fall as well. Kind of like how a forest fire doesn't just immediately disappear when all for he trees are burned, there remain embers burning for days or weeks after.
How to implement search-by-color when all you have is a good coffee
Yes, there exists nuance to the "defund the police" stance (though a lot less on the whole "abolish" the police position). My point is that many people have essentially been gaslit into thinking this has widespread support. It does not, regardless of whatever nuance exists.

From your article:

>For example, 39% of respondents supported proposals “to completely dismantle police departments and give more financial support to address homelessness, mental health, and domestic violence.”

So, only 39% of respondents support "dismantling" (notice the specific word choice here) and essentially creating, out of thin air I guess, another organization that would obviously have a license to engage in violence if their charter includes dealing with domestic violence. This is an echo chamber proposal if there ever was one.

That is largely correct, however the editors are very key to maintaining this process and especially the standards. A prestiged academic will not blindly accept any review request without having a level of trust in the process and also the coordinator.

Reviewing others' work is rather tedious and I think it will be a challenge for any fully open platform to demonstrate that it will not be a waste of time to do peer reviews on them.
Yes, the greater context is that there are many entities exhibiting this sort of behavior online, not just countries and not just those three countries.

>If you cut any industry finely enough, you will find a monopoly

And inversely, if you cut any industry coarsely enough, you will never find any monopolies.

"Don't break us up! Sure, we may own the entire telephone service, but we do not have a monopoly. See, you should be looking at total human communications. People talk in person, send letters, etc. We own a teeny tiny slice of total human communications."

"Don't break us up! Sure, we may own the entire rail network, but we do not have a monopoly. See, you should be looking at entire human travel. People walk, ride horses, travel by ships, etc. We own a teeny tiny slice of total travel industry."
It's just a framework that helps you productive with enough options to not be opinionated (such as constrained to graphql). I would not use a "framework" myself though. The only thing in frameworks that I used to find useful was the IoC container but then I realised composition roots are enough.

The issue here has nothing to do with how PostGraphile is implemented though, I've heard many people complimenting it for being better than alternatives. However the very idea of generating API from DB is problematic because that forces API consumers to think in term of DB operations not business processes. Most likely business logic will be leaked down to clients, or have to be managed in some convoluted way (Hasura actions).
Hey whats up with Archive.is's owners shifty logic behind blocking cloudflare DNS? He/they said it was so they can comply with laws necessitating geo information but they don't need it from DNS..
I don't really see how master/slave is such a controversial issue in the computing community. The name change doesn't really affect anything either way, so if it makes people feel more welcome to the field I don't see much wrong with that, but of all things do we really need to go after terminology?

I should quickly edit this to make my stance more clear. Slavery is bad and America should be ashamed for its past. But slavery as an institution is older than the racist Western implementation of "Africans are property". I feel like the implication behind changing the master/slave terminology is that the people who decided to use these terms were racist (which may be true) when they were probably just using the terms that made the most sense to them. At the end of the day, I'll use the new naming conventions whenever I write relevant code and I'll use them gladly. But we're bickering about names right now when Black people are getting shot by cops in broad daylight.

Personally I'm a fan of the flowing lines which depart from the PS4's hard edges. I do hope the design doesn't cause any functionality issues; the PS4 would eject discs when it got hot due to (from my understanding) a rubber foot expanding and pressing against the control.
People absolutely can afford to ignore Apple in the mobile space, except if your app is 100% reliant on the US market. iOS is only about 20-25% of the global market.
It's definitely light but improving every month, not unlike any new system. I do hope the trend continues -- as a Switch owner that isn't a heavy gamer, I appreciate it as a supplement since I'm not going to buy another system for a few games the Switch can't handle.

Right now I do think it's clear that the rave reviews are coming from casual gamers.
Pardon the stupid question, but how do you see the ground from the plane window? Most of the time I'm on a plane you can't see much of the ground, not nearly enough to get good aerial view images anyway.

Plus video quality is usually pretty crappy and you'd need heaps of post-processing to stabilize the video/remove dirt spots on the window, etc. I find it difficult to believe that this would work well with random people filming with their smartphones out a plane window.
I don’t see why it shouldn’t be possible. It will depend on the culture and value system of the company.

That may be eventually true, but we're much further from that point than you might think.

The U.S. alone wastes about 141 trillion calories worth of food. It comes out to around 1250 calories per capita.

Feeding the world is a logistics problem right now, not a production problem. And we also have the space for all 7 billion humans with room to spare. I think right now, there's enough for everybody to have about 4 acres.
That may be true, but this mindset is one of the catalysts for the eugenics movement. Combine that mindset with incredible wealth and a "messiah complex", and we're in for a horrifying future. Probably better to look for ways for a growing population to thrive on the earth, rather than admit defeat to overpopulation.
1. Does it feel worth the time you are investing?
2. Do you hope that the degree itself will be a valuable credential, or just (!?) that the learning is good value-for money?
3. What, to you, are the advantages of this over self-teaching using MOOCs or any of the other online resources (which are better for computer science than for any other field)?

Seemingly unpopular opinion (with a lens of Go programming): Don't mock dependencies. It is brittle. Stub/fake with dependency injection. It is unimportant that a function was called N times with arguments foo and bar. What is important is that unit tests validate that units output what they should output (success and error cases) and that integration tests ensure things work together.
It supports the conclusion that iOS is not the security miracle people sometimes claim it is.

If your device can be persistently compromised and you use it for general purpose browsing/email, it follows that using it to manage your money is a seriously bad idea.
Two reasons why I wrote this piece:

(1) As a first-time Product Manager, I learned the importance of being intentional. Intentional about what problem I am solving, who I'm solving it for, the value I am delivering to users, and the value I generate for the business. It's been really helpful to think about these dimensions before building a product.

(2) I chose to get into Product because I thought that's the only way you can be "product-minded." But it's not a skill set — it's a mindset, and anyone can be product-minded if they ask the right questions and break down how to get there.

I feel like more people need to know about this because Product Management can feel like a black box because tbh it is!
