Facebook did the same thing they did with Instagram, they bought the company, kept it essentially independent with the founders continuing to run it as an independent management team. As with Instagram, Oculus is now big enough to actually matter to facebook, and so Mark proceeded to fuck with the successful management team until they quit. It's almost the perfect example of Facebook failing to innovate internally.
I wonder if wrapping it in a transaction would have resulted in the same improvement.
Named arguments are great but should be used with care as they also create a reverse dependency. It prevents you from ever renaming the arguments in the future.
Because software is hard.

You might be relying on a function that only exists in 3.7 and not in 3.6, code written in 3.6 would work but new code using 3.7 features won’t be backwards compatible. With compiled code the errors are usually very hard for “more used to scripts“ people to decode. You get stuff like missing symbols in the linker phase.

ML projects usually have a lot of libraries so you also get in the transient dependencies breaking quite often...
I'd probably try safe mode at that point. Hopefully the print service doesn't fire up
The laser and detector only introduce ~1 ns of latency and the serdes might introduce a few more ns (e.g. OpenCAPI Open Memory Interface claims 4 ns).

For me, having been a path I could call on the way to enlightenment, I feel more confident in my daily choices, and I also feel like I am making many more conscious choices every day than I used to. In programming terms, I feel like I am working towards running my mind in "debug mode" as frequently as possible, and the periods in which I am able to attain this mode of functioning are becoming more frequent and prolonged. Then, I can exist more consciously, making choices towards a better existence every minute, in every moment, and this is an amazing feeling indeed. Our ability to choose, to act within our environment consciously, is a great power, one which I did not appreciate, took for granted, very frequently when I was younger. I still do often, but I also appreciate it often. And this amazing feeling of everyday appreciation and gratitude is one of the greatest gifts I've received thanks to meditation and seeking.
Sort of, but unlike Kickstarter if the (huge) goal isn't met, it's all lost to shareholders
I wanted to answer that Java has had decades and millions of dollars poured into its ecosystem to allow the very good IDE experience that we have nowadays. But then I saw that you listed rust-analyzer and I found it intriguing. I have a mixed mode project (35k of Swift, ~8k of Rust)[1]. Both are completely separate targets (Rust compiles to a static library), but in general I get much better & faster completion in Xcode than I get in VSCode w/ Rust analyzer. Now, don't get me wrong, I love Rust analyzer, it is leaps and bounds better than Racer but the completion experience in Swift is still better for me...

Well with one caveat. It only works well if the file that I'm currently editing is in the selected target (i.e. if I have a file Bottombar.swift and that is in InterfaceKit.framework, and I'm editing it while the selected target is ExtensionKit.framework, then nothing works)

There's a vast difference between a noncompete agreement between employee and employer and a noncompete/nonsolicitation clause in a contract between businesses.
The first limits the individual employee's ability to compete in the marketplace. The second prevents a business partner from leveraging their position to kill your business.

Almost everyone (except the shareholders) benefits from employer-employee noncompetes being banned outright. Almost everyone suffers from having business-business nonsolicitations being banned outright. Why the studio's lawyer didn't include it in the contract is beyond me...
The policy is simple and common sense: If you receive funding from a foreign government, disclose it.

The fact that China is a dictatorship does not invalidate this policy. You seem to want it both ways: China is an innocent player that is being unfairly profiled when it suits you, and China is an evil dictatorship with bad policies when it doesn't.
As is tradition, I'm going to take the discussion one level up and talk about the language as a whole, although my issue is related to this syntactical change. The problem Swift has right now is that the review process is marred by huge conflicts-of-interests. The people reviewing proposals are very closely affiliated with, or sometimes the same people, that proposed it and want it implemented. And that's not to say they aren't smart, reasonable people; quite the opposite: it's just that they have their own interests when they're adding features to the language, and they ignore the community when doing so.

When initial SwiftUI changes came through, they were "proposed" by Apple engineers even though they already shipped in Xcode. Sure, they got a bit of feedback and change, but everyone largely knew they were going in regardless and they did. When callAsFunction came in (which I actually think is a useful feature, just spelled horribly) it was obvious that it was being pushed heavily by the Swift for TensorFlow people. And who reviewed it? Chris Lattner, who approved it even though nobody really liked the name at all. And with this case we see a fairly dubious benefit being pushed forward by the team at Apple, and everyone knows it's going to be for some sort of SwiftUI DSL thing, except they can't really tell us what it is and currently it provides a new the way to call a bunch of functions that is unergonomic and extremely special-purposed.

When people say that Swift is adding "useless features" they don't really think that Swift should stop evolving; it's just that they're frustrated that stupid things like these keep getting added and that the Swift Evolution community as a whole is unable to stop them from being merged in or modified substantially.
Same for the history, I much prefer it in Safari than Chrome. It looks like Chrome make it worthless on purpose so that we use Google instead of looking through our history.

They do wrap it in a transaction, they just omit the code for it:

My lab still does this (or, will do it when we’re finally allowed back in).

We do a little bit of compression right on the instrument’s computer. After that, a briskly-walking postdoc can move a few terabytes a minute. The exact rate depends on whether they stop for coffee, but it always blows our internal 100 Mbps network out of the water.

To be fair, the pace of source breaking changes has slowed down considerably. From Swift 1 to Swift 3 there were many breaking changes between versions, and automated migration was very necessary. Between 3 and 4 there were some changes, and between 4 and 5 almost no source breaking changes.

I think it's actually fair for a new language to take a somewhat cavalier approach to backward compatibility. I would rather not be stuck with all the naive mistakes made in the first version of a language just to avoid migration.
Windows had a whole mechanism with VBX and OCX for building the components and keeping their innards isolated. Javascript had no equivalent.

So you’re saying if I put 60k/year away for 20 years, it won’t be worth more than a teacher on 40k/year’s pension?

I think with 1.2mn you can get a better annuity than 20k/year

It’s probably more like a 100k job with no pension is comparable to 60-70k with a final salary pension
In general ‘enlightenment’ is an understanding that the physical world is illusory, as is your sense of self as something distinct from the universe as a whole, which is said to relieve suffering because people no longer seek after material desires that are meaningless.
That link doesn't seem to have much evidence, just some speculation that it might increase risk.

There was a small study here where:

>Eighteen days into the study, all three men lost 10 to 18 percent of their body weight, trimmed their waist circumferences, no longer had to take insulin, and reduced their oral medication. (Two of the three men completely got off their medication during this time frame.) https://www.everydayhealth.com/type-2-diabetes/diet/intermit...

So hopefully it's ok though n=3 is not many.
You're going to need a source on that. Are you saying that cost of serving rural areas and costs to address health impacts of cultural barriers between patients and care providers is not a significant burden on the healthcare system? Now you're armchairing.

It seems like every Swift-related discussion here eventually devolves into a debate about the design and evolution of the language. Okay, I'll weigh in.

Comparing Swift with other important languages I have used such as C and SML, I think what's missing in Swift is a philosophy that inspires, motivates, and guides its development. I think Chris Lattner described Swift as a modern, practical language. Those are general characteristics but not the basis for a real philosophy.

Others have described Swift as a "car crash" or "kitchen sink" language and I think those metaphors are apt. Swift seems to be trying to be imperative, functional, OO, and reactive all at the same time, with Obj-C compatibility thrown in for good measure. Complexity and intractability will inevitably follow.

As a developer one typically has less assitant tasks, but dependent on organisation a shared assistant could do expense filing, (conference) travel arrangements, ensuring all things office (drinks, food, whatever) are setup ... tasks can differ widely.

The more your job is to just sit on your desk and write code the less things you need an assistant for (while somebody else might have help from an assistant to ensure the environment is in that way)

> I’ve been reviewing the footage from Seattle — and protestors started every instance of violence by first getting forceful with the cops.

That's funny, because the majority of the clips I've seen have unprovoked or inappropriate responses from the police. Seattle alone [0] has had numerous incidents. It's trivially easy to see this, to the point that one would have to ignore many incidents to say "every instance" was started by protestors.

I believe that you are not arguing in good faith.

They're getting a huge head start.

It's not unusual for it to take 6-12 months to publish after all the work is done.

Plus, there is often information which isn't published which is critical to the science.
Well, Ansible is the kind of software which does exactly that and has been created to address this issue from the start. It's an industry standard. You define how your environment should be configured in a declarative way, and Ansible connects via SSH to your machines and does the job for you; might work like cron does - running periodic tasks. Surely a very useful tool for everyone who has anything to do with bare-metal machines.

You can always go with the Bash / Python scripts, but hey, Ansible is really cool! I'd give it a try even for small things. I use it to get in touch with my home RaspberryPi cluster.

The above doesn't make you free from knowing how your operating systems work, BTW! That's a must.

Have fun!
If only you spent the amount of effort analyzing his essay rather than my comments.

> Words in isolation mean absolutely nothing? Context matters sure, but not to the extent that actual words mean nothing at all. Your position here is that what people say they believe doesn't actually matter in the slightest, and should be ignored in favour of vaguely defined "context". Who defines this context? I guess you do. In fact in this world view Cotton can say something as clearly as possible and it should still be ignored, because what he "really" means is - obviously - the exact opposite.

I’ve provided enough reasoning about why context is important in my other comments and I’ve sure you’ve read that since you’ve been reading all of them. Context is important to understand what the outcome of a policy results in. It is not an academic debate as people on this forum seem to think. You can be a racist without saying explicitly racist stuff; adding a disclaimer that one is not racist doesn’t really change anything.

> So now I think we're all hopelessly confused. Which is it? Is Cotton saying "exactly what he meant to say" or is he saying the opposite of what he meant?

That was in response to 2 different things. He said exactly what he meant wrt giving no quarter (isolated tweet, different from essay) while paying lip service to the distinction between peaceful protestors and rioters in the essay. Which is why, again, context matters.

> Finally, you state "I’m trying to address the reasons why his op ed was deemed to be so revolting". I'm afraid you aren't succeeding. I can't figure out if it was revolting because of the words he wrote, or the words he didn't write, or if those words are meaningless and it's all about "context", in which case it appears no op-ed written by him could have ever passed muster regardless of what it said. This looks a lot like a slippery argument that Sen Cotton simply shouldn't be allowed to speak at all.

It’s possible, yes. I am human and I make mistakes. Not perfect. But the amount of length that people like you go to try and discredit others rather than take a moment to understand another perspective is staggering, while simultaneously claiming to “fail to see why his essay was controversial”. It points to not a failure to understand but an unwillingness to.
I think you can look at the actions and history of the CCP and be pretty wary of their intent and the methods they will use to get there. China estimates 16.5M died due to the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution brought millions more deaths. Fast forward to more recent events in tiananmen square, Xinjiang, Hong Kong, etc. and one can be easily made skeptical of the motives of the CCP.
yeah, but then you'd have to live in india.

Very cool tool - what's the use case, though?
You wonder about British universities, because you are arguing under the assumption that race is the relevant factor, but your argument is weak. If you thought your argument was strong, you'd normalize across other significant variables, including the adversarial nature of the relationship between the United States and China. Then you'd pick a place like Russia instead, whose people are largely white, like in Britain, but whose government has an adversarial relationship with the United States.

Of course, you know the response to finding out about undisclosed ties to Russia would be roughly the same.
Skimming through the bullet points, it seems that a lot of that advice would be applicable to any storage engine. Storing too much data and not expiring it would seem to be just as much as a problem for flat files.

I would argue that it’s much harder to meet SQLite’s performance and stability targets with a home grown storage system than it would be to learn how to use SQLite effectively.
I think the problem is failing to disclose ties with foreign governments. Scientists, just like any professionals, should be held accountable for any potential conflict of interest. Not saying we should bar scientists from collaboration, but it is important to be conscious about what kind of collaborations are happening and how it affects national security or even information securities between our ally countries.

Since we are talking about China, they have been launching programs that "recruits" foreign talents or foreign-trained Chinese talents to participate in technological development in China. However, participant of the program has been reported to partake in intellectual theft, especially sensitive/proprietary technologies [1].

I am giving NIH the benefit of the doubt here since IP theft has been a real problem for the US, especially with technology transfer to China. I don't think this is racist at all because it's a matter of curbing IP thefts and taking a precaution on growing aggression of a country that happens to be 91.6% ethnically Han Chinese people[2].

Chrome is well into the commodity software scale, and one should assume its UI decisions will lean in the direction of maximum utility for the most users.
I don't think there's any debate over whether or not these scientists did something wrong.

The question is the nature of the wrongness. Was it some trivial clerical error being painted as treason by insane anti-China zealots? Or did what they do actually rise to the level of fraud/treason? I.e., is this communist witch hunt v 2.0, or did these scientists really deserve to be fired/face criminal charges?

And, again, I don't think an answer to that question is possible without looking at each case individually. Anyone claiming to have an answer without going case-by-case is in over their head.

The rest of your post is wild speculation about the nature of the foreign talents program and level of involvement in that program of particular individuals.

That's precisely why I'm saying you're generalizing entire races (not just black people either, which is even weirder that you claim all minorities are ravaged by "microaggressions") based on a sample.

'Tech Giants'? Did they mean facebook, twitter, google? I guess..
We should stop calling them 'Tech'. If they were once, not any more. Those are giant advertisement companies, generating most if not all of their revenue from advertisement. No one would call big investment banks 'Tech Giants' event though they produce one of the most sophisticated software.
Google departed from being a Tech company when their former CEO reached out to the election campaign manager of a certain political party and offered their 'influential power' to them. Facebook never was a tech company. Those managed to accumulate huge amount of money and use it to attract very talented people. However, these talents put to work to extract data from 'the users' (young zuckerberg named them very well once) and sell it to a highest bidder, literally. It is very much the same as those mentioned above investment banks attract most of the talents from physics and math to work on investment algorithms.
Clear definition would help to understand the motivation of advertisement companies to remove a post, block a video or a user, to sensor one opinion or the other, to offer their platforms to political campaign.
