A general problem with writing tests as it is usually done now is that tests are written by those who wrote code being tested. Writing tests is a professional activity in its own right and requires special skills. (This is how companies like IBM used to work back in the day.) Sure, programmers want to do sanity checks on code they write, but this by no means should amount to testing in the proper sense, nor do you want to force coders to waste their expensive time on something that is not 1) generating ideas and 2) writing new code.

The perception of people in academia is that innovation is the product of knowledge. That may have been true in the US. It has been true pretty much nowhere else (not for anything else, the real world is rarely so kind as to present solutions on a plate).

Korea, to name the best example, takes education extremely seriously...and they have had severe difficulty turning that into innovation (outside the chaebols, there is basically no R&D occurring).

I would also look at the exam being tested here. This is India, a system that is notoriously reliant on rote memorisation and turning out employees who crumble under pressure and cannot operate without very specific instructions. Again, this is not a coincidence.

The source of innovation isn't knowledge by the coincidence of knowledge, creativity, and opportunity. Knowing something is quite different from being able to understand and use it. Stuff like the atom bomb are entrepreneurial triumphs by people who happened to be academics.

(The university I attended pioneered AI in the 60s, they had the DoD battering down their door...they refused every opportunity, and doubled down in the ivory tower. Result? No serious innovation since the 60s, and most PHd students going elsewhere to do "real work". This kind of thing just doesn't happen in the US but is the most common result outside of the US.)
That’s not really free money. It’s money earmarked for employees or to maintain some basic infrastructure so employees have a place to work.

> it might be for some hard hit areas of Sweden

The long-term success of Sweden's approach appears to hinge on this question. What evidence is there which supports that their hardest hit locales have achieved herd immunity?
A lot of people give theory a lot of crap. But that's normally because they are not comfortable with the material.

If you are comfortable with the material, you see applications for it all over the place, and use it all the time. Sure, you don't have to ground your system in some kind of formal model (you can just code-til-it-works), but when you do I've found it always ends up as a far simpler and more resilient product.

It's kind of like people who complain that math is useless in school and you'll never need it. Sure, if you never really master it, you'll never be able to use it, so you'll make things kinda work in ways that don't strictly require it, and then conclude it's useless. Meanwhile, if you are familiar with it, your prospects are broader, you may have to use it, and you'll see how it was absolutely relevant and important to know...
Same issues apply to digital ICs as well. The design is much more than just the rules encoded into the logic. What size node are you targeting? Is there an integrated clock? What frequency? What I/O does the IC have? What are the electrical and thermal specifications for the IC? Does it need to be low Iq? What about the pinout? What package? How do you want to structure the die? There are a lot of factors involved with determining the answers to these questions and they are highly interdependent.

The advanced degree is not meant to teach you how to grok complexity. It's to teach you what problems you can expect to encounter and how to go about solving them.
I don't think implementation details matter. Isn't the Facebook backend a private 'net in the net'? What matters is the ability to create high quality content, and that's something 'nerds' tend to do a lot of. People only hang out on the big platforms because that's where the 'cool' people were in 2005.
Can still do basically the same with SailfishOS, though for some reason you need to open an audio context before starting gstreamer first.
In emacs, the macrostep expander solves most of the Macro debugging issues: you usually can expand a macro use, and see exactly what code is being generated or “refactor” the macro away by copying the expansion at a certain level of detail and replacing the original form with it.
>How come 0.05% died and not 1% to 2%? Isn't this evidence that the coronavirus isn't as big as a threat as we thought? I mean 0.05% deaths is 40 times smaller than 2% deaths.

Because the 1% death rate is a reference to people catching the disease, not the size of the population. Sweden as of now appears to have about 73k officially confirmed cases.

Swedes still voluntarily distanced and closed down, hence the economic damage mentioned in the article. Given that there is no widespread immunity still with total infections in the single digits, those deaths will eventually go up.

I'm not sure if the American attitude of indifference is taking hold here now, but 5000 deaths when 4000 of them could have been avoided is no matter to brush aside, it's in fact a straight up disaster. This is an unprecedent amount of needless death in modern Swedish history.
Yes, although Sweden never came close to overwhelming its health care system.

My advice to anyone who's looking for a pathway into open source silicon is to look into E-Beam lithography. Effectively E-Beam lithography involves using a scanning electron microscope to expose a resist on silicon. This process is normally considered to slow for industrial production but it's simplicity and size make it ideal for prototyping and photo mask production.

The simplistic explanation for why this works is that electron beams can be easily focused using magnetic lenses into a beam that reaches the nano meter level.

These beams can then be deflected and controlled electronically which is what makes it possible to effectively make a cpu from a cad file.

Furthermore, It's very easy to see how the complexity of photolithography goes up exponentially as we scale down.

Therefore I believe it makes sense to abandon the concept of photolithography entirely if we want open souce silicon. I believe that this approach offers something similar to the sort of economics that enable 3D printers to become localized centers of automated manufacturing.

I should also mention that commercial E-beam machines are pretty expensive (something like 1-Mil) but that I dont think it would be that difficult to engineer one for a mere fraction of that price.
This seems like a neat sed trick, but I'm not sure that it's useful for this particular case?

When I write a shell script, I often write a help function if it's not a totally trivial script, but there's no need for this cryptic sed expression, right? You can just call `echo` a few times and do it the obvious way. That works better for maintainability and if you put it at the top of the file then it's immediately visible when opening or using `head` on it.

Neat trick though - sed is super useful for all kinds of things. I had a co-worker who bound a keybinding to a sed one-liner that would automagically reconfigure some files that needed to be changed regularly. I ended up using that trick to allow for changing my terminal console colorscheme with a single command.
Ultimately the point of separating code into microservices is to develop the interfaces between teams. They certainly do not make sense compared to a monolithic app until a certain scale.

When you have 10 teams working in 1 mono-service, who is responsible for which parts of the DB schema? Can I query a table in one part of the app that another part owns? What if another team changes a table that I relied on and introduces a bug? Who is responsible for fixing it?

Microservices solve the people problems more than they solve the tech problems, assigning organizational responsibility for functionality, infrastructure, strategic objectives, etc. It also provides clear interface points between these things that can make organizing work easier. You get to split your 1 org into 10 little vertical orgs. This has benefits beyond just code boundaries. Now you can have 10 different goals all being achieved at once

You can go the other way, of course, and split the stack horizontally (One team is responsible for infrastructure, one for DBA, one for Frontend, etc) but then no team is working towards any one goal. Who is responsible for making forward progress?

You don't have to be familiar at all. I've played the game first (and enjoyed the built-in animated encyclopedia, just for fun - that wasn't necessary either), watched the movie in some years and read the book in more than a decade (when I grew up).
This takedown was presumably automated, which seems to be a bulk of the complaints. The algorithm to automate "objectionable content" seems to be horribly inaccurate. A better approach might to be to disable all automated takedowns, and don't take down anything except content manually flagged for illegal content, which are then manually reviewed.

And before you say this won't scale, this is how Reddit moderation works, and seems to work for millions of posts made every day.

Also, some sort of public log of takedowns and reasons in some form we could verify might also be nice. It's super creepy seeing someone "disappeared" from the Internet without so much as a peep from Youtube/Google.

The PowerPC 7457 was built on a 130nm process, used in the AmigaOne XE as well as the Apple G4 machines. That's probably about as good as you will get for an community-led chip fabrication. You could probably get it up to over 1GHz if you made a 68k at this size. A modern FPGA is probably the better way to go for this kind of thing. I doubt this free fab includes things like die testing and packaging. That's an expensive process so someone would need to front some money to actually get the testing and packaging done for enough chips to make the cost actually worth it. It would be much cheaper to design an interposer board that could plug into a motherboard to take the place of the original 68k. This would also allow you to continuously upgrade the processor without requiring a whole new fab to take place.
Start of the genre really, but not strictly the "first RTS" which was probably https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herzog_Zwei .. the term RTS was coined for Dune II, however, and it was the first popular such game.

That's your interpretation of a hashtag. And with that you go around beating people over the head with it, demanding they add all the right emojis to their Twitter bio or be called a racist. Ie. exactly the destructive behavior TFA is about.

The idea that BLM stands for just a single thing ("black people are people too") is absurd. It's very open to interpretation and people want a wide variety of things in supporting it.

You aren't helping any person by arguing in bad faith (ex. your other comment in this tree: "Do you think that black people's lives don't matter?"). In fact, you're turning away people who would otherwise be allies, and believe in the common cause of humanity, but will never go along with all the woke song and dance bullshit.
Please don't post unsubstantive comments here, especially not when a thread is fresh. Threads are super sensitive to initial conditions. If you muck them up with (in this case) pre-emptive snark, it's likely to have a degrading effect on discussion quality.

You don't have to pass GATE in order to write a compiler, parser, etc. In fact I'd venture to guess that many of the most famous programmers of compilers and creators of new languages (e.g. Larry Wall) couldn't pass the GATE exam. So don't feel bad if you don't understand any of the math, I'd rather learn by programming and then learn the math to explain it as I go along.
I should add, I see people use the phrase "assigned male/female". Which seems odd to me if sex is a biological construct rather than a social construct. It seems the correct phrase would be "assigned man/woman". Is there something I am missing?
Only somewhat related but I have a phone where the front camera mechanically pops up when it's used. I've noticed that by default, when I visit many websites, without notification the camera pops up and down quickly. After every Firefox update, I have to go into android settings and deny camera permissions. I've just assumed a page attempts to access the camera via JS but I'm not sure, it could also just be a bug in FF.
Personally I would love the ability to show data on my website using a Google sheet where others less technical can contribute to (open source projects) as opposed to editing json files. It would only make sense for me to do it if it's still hosted under my domain though.

> I thought the novel corona virus had a death rate of about 1% to 2%

That's the guess at least. But we don't know. The argument for being careful about covid-19 isn't because we know it's more dangerous than other things, it's because we don't know.

It's still novel, we've only been tracking it since last December. The flu been around for a long time. Maybe we'll live with covid-19 for a long time, or maybe we'll find a vaccine.

As it seems right now, it's deadlier than the flu and we weren't really ready for it, so it caused a ripple effect of problems. No matter if a country implemented a quarantine or not, they took a lot of damage one way or another.

It's too early to make any conclusions around this, time will tell what was the best way considering the circumstances
It’s all signaling and not really doing anything. (That dog don’t hunt, to turn a phrase). They’re also afraid of the the same hypocritical media will denounce them for not being woke, while the media get a pass while it itself ignores the long arc this requires. You don’t just snap fingers and things happen.

It’s easy to say so and so is bad because they are not voicing in unison the clamor for fairness etc. but in reality all most are doing is buying time and buying forgiveness.

Real change does not happen overnight. It takes years of hard work. You have to start young and follow through for a couple of decades.

Employers barely want to train people they have vetted and hired, so I don’t expect them to put money where their mouths are in terms of building and sustaining the systems necessary to bring disadvantaged populations into the same opportunities afforded others.

It’s like the Chinese bots castigating the US for civil liberties issues while they have re-education camps with millions. It’s a sideshow.

It’s really deeply misleading to say that Sweden let the virus go “unchecked.” Sweden didn’t enforce a hard lockdown but strongly encouraged social distancing, mask wearing, staying at home, etc. Sweden did have a strong (if likely inadequate) national response to coronavirus. And Sweden was subject to EU-wide travel restrictions, including virtually no foreign tourism.
Of course not. That would have been horrible. Lynch's version is great: it has superb sets and production design, actors, music. One thing it lacks is screentime: first half of the book takes 80% time, while the second half is rushed in the remaining 20%. If we could have 2 (3) part movies in 1980s, it could have been extremely great.
