Navy Super Hornet Conducts Guided Launch Of'Stormbreaker“ Miniature Bomb
For some context: the article only interviews quantum gravity researchers, so it has that particular slant. They are concerned with coming up with different strategies to mitigate the issues general relativity has with singularities, and these strategies range from "sensible deviations from general relativity" to "fun, but highly unlikely".

In terms of how the theory of gravitation is not like the other fundamental forces, I think the most salient point was made by Sera Cremonini: gravitation is not a renormalizable theory. At least in the sense of how we have approached renormalization with the other forces. It is intrinsically non-linear, because the source is the field (and vice-versa).

To get anywhere close to a grand unified theory that incorporates gravitation requires a rethink of the normalization procedure (and likely requires an entirely new geometric framework—this was a pre-requisite for both general relativity and Newton's Universal Law).

Oh wow that sounds exactly like the kind of problems package mamagers solve. Your complaint basically boils down to - nobody prepared a one click package of latest version for free for me.
I don’t follow British corona policy closely, but as far as I can tell, the they in those sentences, in most cases, were politicians (that also _had_ to make choices based on very much incomplete information, but that’s a different subject). You can’t blame UK academic standards for that.

^ I really think this should be taken seriously. Yes, Apple has gone through architecture transitions before, and they were all mostly smooth. But that was a while ago, and Apple has been on a really bad streak with the Mac recently.

Frankly, if I had to point to one corollary between when the changes worked and when they did not, the most obvious would be that Steve Jobs is no longer around...
I'm teaching frontend development to designers right now and after almost a semester, I have the feeling I have to cut out much more concepts.

There are just too many ways to do things to teach a beginner in one semester and they just should be able to create basic prototypes anyway.

I feel like these problems are endemic to React and the surrounding ecosystem.

Since its introduction in late 2016 Angular 2+ has had no major changes on the scale of hooks and is unlikely to introduce them, because its target audience - large companies making large-scale applications is fairly conservative.

Vue I think had one measurably large syntax shift around v2.5(or 2.6) and will have another one with 3.0, but that's about it.

Meanwhile in React every year there's this new convention that isn't explicitly mandatory, but for some reason "cooler" than the previous one.

All this won't matter once the next gen compiler-frameworks reach maturity. My take is that hooks are React's swan song.
Similar angle, I leave so many things to the last minute but tend to deliver on time. If it was harmful to me to leave things to the last minute, I would have more incentive not to do it, but it's never been consequential. Alternatively, delivering early has rarely been profitable or positive.
Would it be possible for Apple to have an optional dual processor system, an ARM main processor and an optional Intel coprocessor? That way for people who need support for “legacy” x86 apps or for development they could get it.

Could you have an external Intel coprocessor like we have external GPUs?

(I know nothing about how this would work, obviously the traditional way would be to just have an remote x86 server for running those tasks)
Very few people use Macs for gaming, and many of those that do probably just play Apple Arcade games (which I'm sure will have a smooth upgrade path). And most of the games people play that are on Steam are (these days) built with either Unity or Unreal, which will no doubt have 1-click-rebuilds for the new architecture. In Unity your game logic doesn't even need to compile to native code.

Even beyond games, the thing is that nearly every development platform these days is an abstraction above the hardware - be it the JVM, the web browser, etc - and the rest (of the new ones coming out) are built to be cross-platform from the get go. Just look at how smoothly Rust/Cargo can target different architectures. I'm sure the same is true for Go.
> No software exists in a vacuum

This is true. So stop trying to pull apart tens or hundreds of other people's work hours on some attempt to create some frankenware.

The rest of what you wrote doesn't make sense. Of course it would get tested whether they backport or not. Of it doesn't, then they aren't testing what they are doing now.

The current state is that we don't get much cross pollination as the version being pushed by RedHat isn't the same as the version being pushed by Debian, so bugs are introduced and resolution doesn't help each other.

Your distro doesn't live in a vacuum. Stop acting like it does.
US manufacturing has been growing steadily for decades. The US concentrates this in sectors that are high tech, expensive, and profitable. Low margin, low profit manufacturing has been offshored, but manufacturing hasn't been stagnant at all.

As a percentage of GDP, manufacturing has been on a downward trend, but that's because of the growth of service industry.

That could be used as the dictionary definition of histrionical. "They" meaning an entire study group killed people? Well, no, actually a single doctor MIGHT have, during a single incident. You've over dramatised reality to the point of absurdity, thus histrionical.

I remain skeptical that admissions committees can distinguish between great students and good students through their personal statements. (Not that the SAT would have helped there either)
Just to be sure that the passage is not misinterpreted (not saying you do, OP): This was not said to excuse the Germans from the responsibility of facing their history.

I can personally be not guilty and yet, by being part of a society that builds on a troubled past, bear the responsibilities that come with that past (responsibility to do better, reparations, making amends, and alike).

And in this spirit, Weizaecker continued: "No discerning person can expect them to wear a penitential robe simply because they are Germans. But their forefathers have left them a grave legacy. All of us, whether guilty or not, whether old or young, must accept the past. We are all affected by its consequences and liable for it. The young and old generations must and can help each other to understand why it is vital to keep alive the memories."

This point can imv be applied to many historical failings and their long lasting legacies.
How do you reject a job offer gracefully?

> but I think that there are many mathematicians who would not describe your characterisation as the core of what they do professionally.

Those mathematicians are certainly doing something much more intellectually-challenging than counting things and measuring space, but I would argue that those basic activities represent the basic problems upon which most of the low-level math abstractions are built. "Serious" math is about operating at much higher abstraction levels, but it is not disconnected from those low-level foundations.

It's often good to question assumptions. I happened to do well on SATs/ACTs, so I could be biased in their favor. But, I was curious--what is the actual predictive value of SATs/ACTs on college outcomes such as say GPA or graduation rate. This study would suggest that it's actually more predictive (at least in Alaska) than test scores:
https://ies.ed.gov/ncee/edlabs/projects/project.asp?projectI...

Has anyone else found other studies? I would be shocked if there isn't some kind of meta-analysis. Before getting into any discussion about social issues, let's see whether the tests are actually predictive. Or, if it's just a cargo cult.

My intuition was that these tests (ACT/SAT) would help to normalize for different levels of schools, but I will go with data over intuition.

In some sense, this move by Harvard will allow for a natural experiment to see if there are actually changes in outcomes when GPAs are/are not considered.
Gaming on Apple hardware is dead. Apple killed it when they killed 32 bit support.

I couldn’t read the whole thing, but as a Jew whose relatives and culture was murdered by the Germans, I found it did not adequately address the reality that many Germans knew about the camps (to say nothing of the progroms and humiliations that preceded them) and that the people who perpetrated the Holocaust were in large part incorporated unreformed into German society after the war.

The speech reads

> Yet with every day something became clearer, and this must be stated on behalf of all of us today: the 8th of May was a day of liberation. It liberated all of us from the inhumanity and tyranny of the National-Socialist regime.

Maybe this rang true to many Germans of 1985, I can’t know. But the historical fact is (just to take an example) the post war German government was staffed with individuals who served at high positions in the Nazi regime and surely believed in, or at least we’re comfortable with, the Nazi cause. I’m sure in the private sector there were even more unreformed Nazis.

It also seems to suggest that the German people couldn’t know what atrocities were being committed, which it was well known what was going on. Both the camps and the progroms and public humiliations visited upon Jews and others.
EDIT: I take the criticism of some of the commenters below that not all Germans knew the full extent of the mass murder.

So the whole speech rings hollow to me, and it’s purpose mostly seems to be to assuage the guilt of an entire population responsible for truly horrific acts. Which, yeah, the Germans would need that in order to be able to move forward, but the comments here are definitely not understanding the speech in that critical light.

> instead we need to encourage non-risk-averse capital investment into bluesky projects from private parties.

The problem is that said "non-risk-averse capital" usually comes from previously successful founders at least in early stages, and when you look at the startups there, a lot of their founders or key staff have relevant prior startup experience too.

The US has a massive advantage there in networking, which is insanely hard to replicate in other areas or countries.
But do we get it? If we get it, why is frontend churn so prevalent?

Yes, it's quite sad. For a lot of adults, their lives don't really start until they've been diagnosed, and gotten on some treatment - usually a medication that works for them. Lots of these people have tried and failed school, tried and failed jobs, etc.

But then the bricks fall in their place, and they can try to redo all that. Unfortunately, by that time, a lot of doors have been closed - especially if you want to work in tech or professional industries.

Now, I'm not trying to scare posters, but it's much better to get that stuff figured out before you've gone too long to make lasting damage, both to your own health, and to your professional life.
> According to Wired, Jobs did instigate:

"Instigate" would mean that Jobs started this fight, but this action was one of Jobs' last salvos in a rivalry that started long before iPhone.

To over-simplify, Jobs never forgot Adobe's threats to abandon the Mac when times were tough and Apple needed them most. IMO, it was that relationship which taught Apple that it must control as much of their technology stack as possible. In that context, finally being able to kick Flash off of their platforms must've been both a great joy, and a great relief.
It's all beautiful if you know how to look. Fully explaining a blade of grass to its core would have more engineering, biological, physical, and mathematical knowledge than all of mankind's best web startups, businesses, and intellectual efforts combined.

The beautiful irony of the once popular "god of the gaps" argument is that the gaps are continuing to widen toward infinitude each passing day. Each passing day we discover that "knowing" one thing reveals 9 more things we do not. How arrogant it would be to miss the awe-inspiring beauty, consistency, and self-sustaining processes that are everywhere, from mathematics to the physical and beyond.
A lot of the immigrant workforce in Dubai uses that same lavishly air-conditioned infrastructure as anyone else. They use the bus system and so sit inside the air-conditioned bus shelters. They use what free time they have to visit the malls, too. And so many of the Indian-subcontinent restaurants and markets in Dubai and Sharjah exist purely to serve fellow Indian-subcontinent people, and those are air-conditioned, too.

Yes, Israel uses desalination and has a low carbon footprint, but they also have leadership that has historically been more concerned with water conservation.
(Disclaimer; I only read the non-paywalled preview).

The argument is that the SAT/ACT is uniquely broken this year; including in the ability of applicants to take the test. Even among the people who did take the test; circumstances are so weird this year that it would be difficult to interpret the results based on historic data; and the results would be relatively meaningless for future data.

With GPA, you can still see the pre-crisis grades of the students; as well as the historic performance of the school that provided those grades. These are signals that can be calibrated against historic data; and which admissions likely already uses.

It is not particularly different, no and it's not difficult to find a discussion where video game producers complain about publishing costs. It's generally aimed at Steam.

Apple is being investigated here because:

- Spotify and Rakuten formally complained about the store;

- some banks formally complained about Apple Pay;

- they are the biggest.

A condamnation of Apple here would most likely have significant implications for app publishing as a whole. Something I personally applaud.
Not all of those apprenticeships are high level ones and I suspect there is much less possibility of starting as an apprentice and going all the way to a degree as say Mech Eng apprentice at BAE Systems might.

This is the route I took BTW.

I have had interviews just stop dead (with European companies) when it turned out I didn't have a Degree.
Its interesting, I never really thought about it like this. In high school I was an extreme procrastinator. Avoiding the boredom of doing the task is certainly part of it, everything was too easy. But when I know I can finish an assignment in two hours the night before its due, why would I ever start it early? There was no benefit to completing things early. But, there was always a high from getting away with procrastinating to the last minute. Just like that rush from solving a hard programming problem. Essentially I experienced a reward for procrastinating, and was always chasing that. At least that is how it felt to me.

But eventually, after some time not doing so well at college because of this, I ended up joining the Marine Corps. Since then, I have been much less of a procrastinator. Not really because my motivation or anything changed, its entirely because my tolerance for uncomfortable situations and tasks went way way up. So this explanation actually makes sense to me once I really consider it.

Since we're on the topic of Germany WWII. I read a couple books about Treblinka over the weekend. The atrocities that happened there were sickening. To read about what these people were forced to do there in this death camp is painful.

The Germans and Ukrainians who did these horrific acts of murder and torture were unaffected by it, as told by two authors who survived.

It leaves me with more questions than answers. How can people do this to others, it takes so little to motivate people to turn into savage murders, and why did then not teach us about these death camps in school. Everyone knows about Auschwitz but they skipped over the pure death camps and focused more on the rah-rah we're winning battles than observing the suffering that took place. It all makes me sad. It makes me sad knowing what some people in America the "free" country were going through during this time too.

Semiconductors are not just about the market for electronics, they are a national defense issue.

As the article talked about, relying on chips that can only be sourced from allies that are not defensible from your primary potential adversary is a major risk.

Why do you think Boeing et al are on the government defense teat? It's not just as a disguised socialist job program and Congressional slush fund. There are some legitimate reasons for government funding.

It's not "aid", it's government spending on national defense infrastructure and manufacturing capability.
I audit web-based password generators as a hobby, and this one does well.

What it does well on:

The source code is open source licensed. Passwords are generated in the client, not on the server. The generator is random. The generator is cryptographically secure. The generator is unbiased. Mobile devices are supported. There are no JavaScript trackers loaded on the page. The site is not calling out to external resources without SRI.

Unfortunately, by only choosing 4 random words, the security margin of the passphrase is 52 bits (13 bits per word). This is practical for a hobbyist password cracker to exhaust in an offline attack. The security would be better if 6 random words were chosen instead.
