Very often you have a basic c implementation for every asm optimized code block. So in this case they simply ditch all the implementations and compile to arm the c implementation and will start adding arm optimizations.

Additionally, even if you know the use cases, often I find it more productive to form the code of the application one use case at a time. This allows greater focus on the task at hand. People cannot effectively multi-task so breaking focus into different use cases at the same time is slower and causes more mistakes than just coding one use case at a time.

I think it's very dismissive and telling that you think you could make the same in an hour or so. There are sooo much complex and crazy generative art. Some can take hours to program, and then days to tweak to get the look one's aiming for. It's not just "random line generator" (even though that's a nice place to start), it's an iterative process. Like most art, it's a process, not just throwing paint on a wall.

There are no static systems. Every prescription or practice should come with a use-by date.

Otherwise some hapless new guy will take outdated practice for good money. It is also why people straight out of school are not that great unless they learn on their own - they generally know outdated practices.

Instead of prescription, a guideline is better, especially a clear statement of goals to strive for. Examples or exact methods are secondary.

Even something as bound to physics as say civil engineering changes all the time. New materials, new analysis tools, methods to save cost... Imagine trying to follow a few year old guides on programming practices. Even one year old stackoverflow post can be hopelessly outdated, not to mention low quality. I've hit current linters recommending old, now wrong practice.

Can we just go back to buttons that _jump_ straight to the top instead of scrolling? Please?

What problem is this even trying to solve?
The "back to top" functionality is so useful in web pages. I wish they would make a dedicated button on keyboards that just takes you to the top of the page. Better yet, it can work in other apps too! It could, for example, take you to the beginning of a line when you're writing text.

Edit: Wow, I thought I was going the extra mile to make the joke obvious by saying the key should also take you to the beginning of a text line, but I guess it wasn't obvious enough for the first 3 commentators.

I don't think S.A. deserves being outed because he presides over a community I happen to find problematic; I think he's not being outed, since he's been operating in the open for years.

1. People tried to cancel Bernie Sanders, it just didn't work
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/01/15/bernie-sa...

2. Not a single person who openly advocates Stalinism or similar forceful collectivisation makes it onto the national stage. Meanwhile Richard Spencer was so "cancelled" that he continued to interviewed on national TV

3. In Germany and Europe, most communist parties are under observation by the constitutional secret service, despite being democratic parties

4. In the US, Colin Kapernick was cancelled by the NFL for kneeling to protest police brutality

Leftist positions, as it turns out, are much less inherently tied to authoritarianism than Nazi ideology. Thus, you often see people advocating for democratic socialism on the national stage, but not for Stalinism and a violent revolution. The latter of which immediately gets them cancelled before they become much of a public figure

The stupidest over engineering pattern I've seen is having an interface for every single class in a Java project. This may make sense if you are building an API within a framework or library that people other than you are allowed to implement but when the interface is only used within the project it was created in then it is absolutely meaningless to add the interface before you need it. You can always add a necessary interface later by editing the code. Doing a search for "ClassName" and replacing it by "InterfaceName" isn't exactly difficult.
That ‘only’ difference is a very big one, and they are completely aware that their software will be misused and are happy to make a profit with it.

To say, ‘we will only sell our software to countries who promise not to use it to violate human rights, and if we catch them doing it, we will suspend it’ is just hand waving. The software is designed to be undetected. That’s the whole point.

A actual policy would be that ‘we do not sell our software to countries who have a bad human rights track record, as defined by <independent group>’ ... but that would cut into sales.
I don’t follow how the existence of companies succeeding in the face of competitors with “network effects” supports the idea that network effects limit competition...

I agree network effects are part of the value of the product, but I don’t see how that limits competition. Users can have both a Facebook and a Twitter, or Facebook and MySpace, etc. Network effects don’t stop people from joining other networks.
Man this looks great. So much easier than doing a drawing and you can version it in git etc.

As Steve Jobs himself said in the famous Mac Intel keynote, Mac OS X ran on Intel from day one, "just in case". After all Darwin has always supported x86, and NEXTSTEP ran fine on x86 too, so probably it was not that difficult from a core system standpoint migrating to x86.

Why are REBCO tapes so important?

Apparently a REBCO cable, when it is chilled to 77K (think liquid Nitrogen) becomes superconducting.

When it becomes superconducting, it can carry a lot of amps, and when it can carry a lot of amps, it can generate quite an impressive magnetic field, e.g.:

"On April 7, a team led by MagLab engineer Seungyong Hahn tested a small but potent magnet made of rare earth barium copper oxide, or REBCO, which efficiently conducts electricity without any resistance at relatively high temperatures and magnetic fields. Putting the magnet coil inside one of the MagLab's strongest magnets, the team achieved a magnetic field of 40.2 teslas."

Re: already in a string, one of the primary uses of regex is to search from point in a text editor. So, cursor is in a string and you want to find the next string. Regex won't work on its own, you generally need more semantic information to differentiate opening & closing quotes (unless you can use local context from that particular language to infer it).

But more broadly, any situation where you search from a non-zero index has this problem.

I'm surprised your example works in Python. Is that a property of Python's parser, or all regex matchers?
That's fair. For decades we did not have enough will to retaliate against our adversaries. The result was there were terror attacks in almost every major Indian city. It's only in the last five years that the leadership has shown some resolve to irradiate terrorism. The perception of India being soft will take some time to wear off.
To give a different example of what we're dealing with, California Senator Diane Feinstein has been a vocal opponent of encryption. Google "diane feinstein encryption" for some examples; it's a long-running theme with her. At the same time, she was pretty unhappy with the CIA snooping around Senate computers[1]. You'd think she could make the connection that if even her title and the law aren't enough to protect her, maybe encryption can be a good thing, but no, she's one of the senators behind the EARN IT Act.

I was recently offered a job by NSO, didn't take it due to their terrible reputation. I won't be surprised if some countries start denying entry to NSO employees.

On the other hand, their product is just a tool which can be used for good (stopping terrorists) or evil (spying on human rights activists). Just like a kitchen knife can be used for good (cooking a meal) or evil (stabbing people). So I find it hard to find the moral justification for the actions you suggest. The problem is not the tool or the tool's manufacturer, it's how it gets used.
I read the paper, I like Chollet, but he comes across as too pesimistic in that paper. I agree that current models are still very data inefficient, but, despite this, I think they are not that far away from the mark if you consider 2 things. 1)The brain probably has hardcoded a lot information. Things like an universal grammar a la Chomsky, the concept of continuity of time and space.Just add water and boom a 2 year old understands. The other thing is that humans are great extrapolating from few data points for a limited set of cognitive tasks, not all.
Yeah. I think that the new layout is fine, but I really don't like that it doesn't look like GitHub anymore. It looks like every other modern UI out there.
It’s gonna get worse, too, with upstream countries building dams at the expense of downstream countries.
Might also depend on how you use it. I have no repositories which I maintain on github worth speaking of, I only contribute, so 99% of time I spend in issue/PR views to which I go directly via links from notification emails.

While as pointed out above the decision of making the top navigation bar span the screen is rather unfortunate, the main thing I see is that instead of the smartphone-centered (or whatever reason) design the central part where the comments are shown is now like 50% wider. Which is something I always wanted because I only use this on desktop and usually with the browser full-screen so finally it takes some advantage of the available space.

However the width used also depends on whether the sidebar is there or not which is quite jarring. I.e. in the toplevel file tree view there's a sidebar. But when you then click on a directory the sidebar is gone and the witdh taken by the tree view expands. That's not ideal and just jarring when going back and forth. So for cases like that, it's not merely the fact there was a change which causes friction, it's really the new version which does.
I can understand this very well because the same happened with me. It's important for us to learn to not care about what others think of us, to see these actions by others as more of a challenge than an insult, and to completely own what we do. People like to play games where they test each others confidence, and unfortunately, perceived weakness is often met with ridicule, rather than empathy.
I think it's great. It's about time they started using more of the available screen space. If I want a tiny view I'll shrink the window.

Since this seems to be such a contentious issue, I wonder why they didn't keep the original style around as an option? Aren't stylesheets supposed to make that easy?
Unfortunately you seem to have misread what I wrote.

1) NY has the highest cases per capita and death rate per capita in the country. [1] [2] This is what I mean by burned through their population. Serology estimates about 20% of NYC population was infected. [3]

2) NY’s policy blunder in shipping COVID positive patients into nursing homes is well documented. [4]

#2 did not lead to #1, nor did I claim it did.

Their “herculean efforts” to contain COVID notwithstanding, NY is in the process of phased reopening, just like pretty much everyone else.

Programmer who also works in retail, uh no, this layout highlights all the wrong things. The list of items is half the screen, my current system has it at about 1/4 and buttons are enormous, very easy to use and rarely ever miss a button or hit the wrong one, this looks like that will happen all the time. Also we have a lot of colour in buttons that relate to use (payment buttons red, department buttons green, account buttons yellow), this has grey and grey and grey. It might work but I pity anyone using this system. I think with some more UI considerations for the actual use cases (what do register users need the item barcode for? I might enter it but once the item name pops up I don't need it taking up my screen) this could get good. I also don't need whitespace between buttons, have them as big as you can.
"So, a scooter?"

Yeah it was funny. It hit so far below the hype expectations, many (myself included) thought the Segway wasn't even "IT", expecting the real announcement to come later.
> I have particular ire for Disney's penchant to make kids think they need to be groomed for life in royal society

Er, none of Disney’s films—well, at least not the princess ones, there might be something I'm unaware of elsewhere in the body of Disney-branded (and even more likely in the broader Disney-owned) catalog—has anything to do with grooming children for life in royal society. They are largely adaptations of fairy tales that use stories of royals specifically because they are interestingly exotic to communicate lessons of quotidian life aimed directly at children of more common means (often the adaptation changes the intended message to something modern and empowering from the original message which is often something like “don’t stray from the course society has set for you on pain of death”.)

In what way do you think the phone legacy is holding us back? What concrete steps would you suggest?

I'm a graphics engineer so I'm not sure I understand this argument. When I talk about weaker and worse-performing hardware options and drivers on Mac, I'm referring _mainly_ to GPUs.

This... is simply not true (?)

Also, regarding Gnome/KDE, I dislike both and don't use either. Something like i3 with zero-to-know configuration is already pretty great out of the box.

A critique is not the measurement of whether
statues should be torn down or books censored

A critique? No. A gross violation of utterly basic human decency? Yes.

In many recent cases, we are talking about slavery.

Many monuments glorified military "heroes" of the Confederate Army, a rebel army that sent men to their deaths fighting for the right of white Americans to own black slaves.

In general, I believe the world suffers from a lack of nuanced discussion and understanding. In the case of slavery and monuments to slavery, I find very little need for nuance.

books censored

There's a major discontinuity between censoring information and removing monuments.

A statue is not a meaningful source of information.

It essentially yields a single data point that says, "here is something held dear by the society in which this statue exists."

Removal of a statue does not censor information or rewrite history. It merely says, "we're not celebrating this any more." If anything, in the case of the removal of Conferate monuments, it represents a greater awareness of history.
Is there any country that doesn't have a bad human rights track record? Sure, some are worse than others. But where do you draw the line, and how far back into history are you willing to look?
They model a system which they know to be constrained by a closed-form equation called the Hamiltonian. They (cleverly, IMO) force the network’s predictions to be constrained by the Hamiltonian, by choosing the right output and loss function.

I don’t see a way to generalize this to the procedural rule-based systems you describe, unless they too are governed by a fairly simple continuous function Like the Hamiltonian.

I don’t know if it was “dramatic”, but it made me really happy.

Clean water, sewage, central hearing etc are not free, without a good paying job there are still people that have the toilet outside, do not have running water and use wood for heating.

So is a combination of more factors like local economy and government to grow and build roads,bring internet and natural gas but you also need the individuals to afford paying for those. The web helped a lot and if you see the remote working that is happening now you can't deny that CERN had a giant contribution. 1
