There are several scenarios that frustrate me.

Examples like law firms or physicians' offices. These are relatively small firms with very wealthy principals. They are asking for taxpayer money to maintain their wealthy lifestyles, so they don't have to sacrifice their Bentleys to pay staffers. Examples: Thomas J Henry in San Antonio.

LLCs and franchisees that probably have millions of dollars in holdings and cash, but act under the guise of "small business" because they operate fast food or something.

Religious organizations. It's one thing if something like a local YMCA gets funds, but a church outright getting funds without proving it is going to public services (why don't we just have better public services?) is not proper. Churches already don't pay taxes.
Are there any papers or blogs about how these GPUs are attached to the host? I find it interesting that you can get a VM with 96 vCPUs, which I assume amounts to a whole box (2x24-core hyperthreaded Xeon CPUs?) but either 8 or 16 GPUs. How does that keep from stranding 8 GPUs? Is there some kind of rack-wide PCIe switch that can attach GPUs to various hosts or ??
Keeping your Go modules compatible
Yeah, I mentioned Mojang in the last paragraph. (I didn't mention Mojang in recent purchases, because that was an older deal.) I wouldn't even be surprised if Microsoft's interest was primarily TT Games and that especially that Lego license for how well it would snap in with Minecraft, and Rocksteady/NeverRealm/the ghost of Monolith past/the gutted remains of Turbine/etc all simply a bonus.
The issue is that there is only 'one side'. Nobody dares counter the arguments of the mob, lest they face the wrath, and have to live on the brand and make it as an 'outsider' such as David Peterson, for the rest of their careers.

The 'one side' has enough quasi-radical and aggressive voices with 'useful fodder followers' who probably are not as far fetched, I think a lot of personal politics, with an ever increasing sense of righteousness and entitlement.

If Chomsky had real integrity, instead of refusing to sign, he would have come to Pinker's defence and taken a stand. If he's too afraid, well then who will?

Most of the press is taking a side, corporations are mostly just fearful.

This is not a meme, it's an 'existential' deal as the movement purports to literally change what the our institutions are, and what the meaning of the Truth is.

It's disturbing also because many of us are otherwise quite sympathetic to many causes, but what happens if you're given a choice of either supporting the 'radical liberation and overthrow of the Enlightenment' vs. possibly some plain, centre-right voice, who's maybe not very interested in progress but has other, pragmatic concerns?
very nice... curious if you could embed it easily into another site or even wordpress page? I have had an HOA membership page that is backed by a Google Spreadsheet with some crap Sheets plugin that's always having trouble.
Tried it.. pretty straight forward. Free account rate is good for personal use. I think it comes down to 4 calls per day which is reasonable if you are using this as maybe your daily news fetcher.
You could report the site to the governing authorities as well.
I'm working on a dashboard to map each of these loans geographically: https://www.quiverquant.com/sources/sbaloans

It's a slow process (as I've been respectful of the rate-limit on the reverse geocoding API I'm using), but I finished mapping four states and hope to complete the other 46 by the end of this week.
Yeah, I should've made it more clear - if they aren't "effective" then it would be pointless to normalize them. Based on stuff like this[1] I happen to think that they are, although exactly how effective seems highly dependent on a number of things.

I had a "consultancy" website up, with basic content. Maybe a dozen posts, never kept the habit.

Because I had something (even though it was crap), I was able to talk my way into being the cofounder at a startup, then a job at a FAANG at a crazy salary. The FAANG recruiter mentioned specifically that they saw I was running my own shop (even though I never landed any accounts > $10k in the 6 months).
This is so sad. He will now go bragging how it is just a flu, as he said.
That's true for any cloud server.
I think you can speed up the 6502 version by moving it into the zero page and not using indexed mode. Of course, zero page memory is even more restricted than the 64kB you have in total, but that might be worth it in some cases.

Even if this isn’t in the zero page, it surprises me that those expensive x indirect loads and stores are cheaper than worth having to increase the source and destination addresses often, but that probably is because my 6502 is very rusty.

Also: I stared at that code for a while, but couldn’t figure out why that jmp immer is there. If you move the 3 instructions starting at lastpage to the end, it can be removed, can’t it? (I didn’t check, but there may be further code shuffles that do not decrease the number of instructions, but do decrease the number of branches and with it, the number of cycles spent)
It doesn’t seem to matter: https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.02479
The regulations are written so as to exclude the possibility[0]. I wouldn't play chicken with ICE. Get this wrong, and you can be held in immigration detention until ICE can convince your home country to let them deport you back[1], which may be a while considering countries have been travel-banning the US on public health grounds.

Turn The Ship Around

If you want to look further than traditional command and control structures, I recommend looking into Deming, Sociocracy, teal organizations or the aforementioned book "Turn The Ship Around".

Also, look into norming, storming, forming performing and team operating guidelines.
I prefer to refer to NFRs as Operational Requirements. Cloud vendors are entirely in the job of satisfying operational requirements.
When you're made aware of the tracking, why would anyone willingly choose it? It's a sad state of the internet when you're doing 90% of your Google searches in an incognito window.
My CS exams in Europe and Australia involved calculations, proving stuff and applying knowledge to find the solution without a list of possible answers. Multiple choice questions at this level have always confused me and seemed like a really inept way of testing understanding (if they test understanding at all).

I was fully expecting to see an implementation of a red-black tree, the use of software patterns, questions of why a certain solution was picked or what algorithm to pick and why, creating a circuit with logic gates that fulfill a certain function, etc.

This all seems more like a test of memory. "Do you remember exercise XXX on page YYY? Great, now pick the correct solution!". Him saying "I remember the solution to this from one of my earlier videos" even confirmed my bias against these things.
Its a private service, they don't sell "justice"

Weren't these visas supposed to be for bringing talented individuals with expertise deemed to be missing in the US? Was the visa system ever 'just' for bringing 'highly qualified' individuals? If America wants highly qualified individuals, it seems to me that 'nurturing' that talent is more important.

Bringing in uniquely talented individuals who can distribute expert knowledge accomplishes that.

Bringing an IT worker who does a good JAVA/.Net programming does not accomplish that... right?
One point of an international student renting an apartment in the US and taking a class over the Internet is that they're in the right time zone, and don't have to stay up all night to attend classes and other sessions (with the known negative health effects of doing so, along with how to handle the fact that the rest of the family is sharing small living quarters that makes 2am classes a problem for the whole family).
But don't worry though, lots of jobs and prosperity in the coal industry. /s
Youtube tried having a list of clear rules. The problem is it doesn't work. People will always find a way to find a way find a grey area. Youtube doesn't want to be in the position where they have to explain why a video of little girl roleplaying a cop is inappropriate, but a regular video of a kid playing is fine. People would complain that it's actually Youtube that is sexualizing children.
> As a leader, you may have peers that will like you to take extreme ownership because they can play politics and blame you for things. I don't think there is room for that sort of BS on a battlefield but I don't have first-hand experience.

This question is addressed, if not in the book, at least in his podcast. Let me see if I can find it.
> It took some time for the whole Rust ecosystem to catch up and adopt it, but it’s fair to say that crates dealing with IO-bound workloads are now generally expected to be async-first (e.g. reqwest).

Is this actually true? I've heard mixed things about this, including that Rust itself has no particular position on the preferred concurrency model. Even the async book[1] says:

> It's important to remember that traditional threaded applications can be quite effective, and that Rust's small memory footprint and predictability mean that you can get far without ever using async. The increased complexity of the asynchronous programming model isn't always worth it, and it's important to consider whether your application would be better served by using a simpler threaded model.

The SBA uploaded a database of all recipients to Box yesterday.

Direct link: https://sba.app.box.com/s/tvb0v5i57oa8gc6b5dcm9cyw7y2ms6pp

CNBC article: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/06/coronavirus-stimulus-list-of...

It appears the database may include applicants who submitted partial applications but may not have actually received funds. For example, Index Ventures is in the database but claims they didn't take any loans. From the cnbc article:

> The venture capital firms Index Ventures and Foundation Capital, along with the scooter company Bird, said that they did not apply for the Payroll Protection Program, despite being listed in the database as having been approved for millions of dollars of funds from banks under that federally run program.
> The codecs aren't NP hard. Rather, the "perfect" encode is.

That's what I meant by my first sentence.

And I'll throw out there that the vast majority of 'hardware codecs' are in fact software codecs running on a pretty general purpose DSP. You could absolutely reach the same quality as a high quality encoder given the right organizational impetus of the manufacturer; they simply are focused on reaching a specific real time bitrate for resolution rather than overall quality. By the time they've hit that, there's a new SoC with it's own DSPs and it's own Jira cards that needs attention. If these cores were more open, I'm sure you'd see less real time focused encoder software targeting them as well.
The book that inspired the series is also great.

There is more about business. Actually they still use email marketing campaigns as one of the elements talks with clients.
TikTok also helps to communicate with this, and if we combine it we will get a new way for cooporation.
This 40% stat gets pushed all the time with no context. The way it sounds is that super immigrants are starting these companies. But the way the study is, a 5 person founding team could have 1 person who was son/daughter of immigrant and then it is counted.

Global warming is the same issue. We don't seem to realize that the economy kinda sorta depends entirely on the environment, just like the economy kinda sorta depends entirely on public health.
This is great! I wish it was searchable by bank though. I heard that a local bank was making some interesting choices about who they helped through the PPP program and I'd love to pull up all the results by Lender.

Right, I will definitely work on adding data policy to terms of service. I think it will go along the lines, that you cannot remove the attributions/trademarks, if you are republishing the data, but doing analytics on it is ok.
> Flattening is so healthcare capacity is not exceeded.

Sweden avoided that scenario. Their system was strained but did not collapse. They're still on track to have the same area under their curve.

> The pandemic has put the Swedish healthcare system under severe strain, with tens of thousands of operations having been postponed. Initially, Swedish hospitals and other facilities reported a shortage of personal protective equipment. At the start of the pandemic, concerns were made that Swedish hospitals wouldn't have enough capacity to treat all who could become ill with the disease, especially in regard to those needing intensive care. Swedish hospitals were eventually able to double the number of intensive care beds in a few weeks, and the maximum capacity was never exceeded.

Furthermore while their number of cases per day has been growing rapidly, the number of ICU hospitalizations per day and deaths per day have both been falling since April. Reports of Sweden's demise have been greatly exaggerated.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Sweden

Edit:

> Compared to other Scandinavian nations, Sweden has experienced a much higher number of COVID-19 deaths; eight times that of Denmark and 19 times higher than Norway, despite being only twice those nations' populations

Yes, that's exactly what you'd expect from a country that doesn't flatten their curve. A country that doesn't flatten their curve will have more deaths up front, but that doesn't mean they'll have more deaths in total when all is said and done.
Not sad. Great!
> But we are approaching the truth. Everything in history, and everything in our daily experience tells us this.

I think this needs substantiation. You present this like a fact, but it looks entirely like an opinion: your interpretation of history.

It presents a sense of inevitability that I find extremely dangerous.

The only thing that keeps us from losing what we have today - as many civilizations have done in the past - is our actions. Presenting it as historical inevitability cheapens both the meaning of our actions but also discourages people from seeing just how important active effort is.
I think the OP is contrasting Georgia Tech with a visa mill.

CIS is a hate group

That's embarrassing. But even so, if you don't deal with known abuses you get groups like this, so it's imperative on the government to get ahead of the crazy train.
It wouldn't, and if you tried, you'd end up with this all over again:

That's basically the cycle of bloated USG bureaucracy in a nutshell. Don't predictably go after bad actors because there aren't enough enforcement resources to spend prosecuting small operations. Enact many overbearing draconian regulations in response to the continued existence of the bad actors. This creates chilling effects and compliance costs on the good actors. Large institutions benefit from their position becoming more entrenched with paperwork. Repeat.
That is definitely possible. I can make some changes to generate an iframe embed code. Email or DM me on Twitter (@tjchear) if you want something customized :)
Your source doesn't actually apply well here. It talks about things like substance abuse and addiction being reasons that criminals don't act rationally to punishment as a deterrent. For white collar crime, there's a very different set of circumstances in play. Crime is often just a business decision based on risk and reward. Raise the risk and the reward becomes less worth going for.
Does anyone know of comparable software that works well on linux?
Yours remind me of a comment from an (in)famous Brazilian political commenter that claimed that "more people die by choking" at the beginning of the pandemic.
I might be wrong here, but I am pretty sure that it was "stop buying N95 masks".

Few things I’ve learned recently is that mistakes happen, as long as an honest effort was made, it shouldn’t be a big deal

All arguments are communication problems.

If you’re coding all day you’re doing it wrong. Delegation is the most important. Communication is critical. Tech leads who crash and burn are usually the strongest developers.

hexpeek: a hex editor for huge files
hexpeek: a hex editor for huge files

Occasionally I need to work with huge binary files. Over the years I've
tried many different tools and never found one that was exactly what I
wanted. In my experience most hex editors either (1) do not work well
with 4GB+ files or (2) require the user to learn a curses interface and
are not scriptable.

So I ended up creating a hex editor with some nice features:
(1) prompt interface with command history (with libedit),
(2) scriptable interface with a flexible command language,
(3) no glitches on huge files -- no reading until user requests,
(4) fully functional insert and delete,
(5) multi-level backup and restore,
(6) ability to dump generic file descriptors,
(7) work in hexadecimal and with 64 bit file offsets by default,
(8) BSD 3-clause license,
(9) and more...

If interested, please check out the project at https://www.hexpeek.com
or send e-mail to hexpeek@hexpeek.com.

hexpeek is known to work on Debian, CentOS, FreeBSD, and Cygwin and is
expected to work on any recent POSIX-like system. I look forward to
improving hexpeek based on community feedback. Please let me know what
features you are looking for in a hex/metadata editor.

I'm very on board with ending at-will employment, but it would only address a small subset of the issues they're describing. Employment protections won't prevent books from being withdrawn, journalists and professors from being censured, or leaders from being forced to resign.
So did Boris Johnson, who announced his positive test on March 27 in a Twitter video which showed him perfectly lucid and without noticeable symptoms [1]. He posted regular video updates, appearing quite healthy in all of them, but his condition suddenly worsened on April 6, a full 10 days after his initial announcement video [2].

This is anecdata, of course, but Bolsonaro is 65, a full 9 years older than Johnson, so he's by no means in the clear.

Back in 2008 (?), I was in aerospace. The big thing at that time was to become a "systems integrator" instead of a manufacturer. Obviously, while sound on the surface, the OEMs still are manufacturers today. With a higher degree of integration of third party systems, e.g. radar an so on.

Today, the same logic can be applied to all the Xaas business models out there. SaaS, PaaS, algorythms, it seems that there could be two extremes. On the one end you have companies developing the services, on the other you have businesses excelling at combining these services.
How is that misleading?
If it is kept somewhere, it is likely still tape backups, which might indeed just be in a nice library room collecting dust on shelves. Though these days it might be "cloud" tape backups. (Most of the cloud providers offer "cold storage" that is slow and expensive to retrieve when you need it back, as that cold storage is just as likely to be tape backups and it takes time to retrieve a tape from a shelf, unspool that tape, and read from it.)
This is the "I like tinkering with cars therefore everyone should be a mechanic" argument.

There's no justification for it. Maybe 20% of the population - at best - is even capable of that kind of programming. [1] Most people simply don't do symbolic abstraction at that level, and forcing them to try would create resentment, not literacy.

And "conlangs" are indeed different to "natlangs." There's definitely a case to be made for teaching everyone at least one extra language. But the kind of abstract thinking required for conlangs is adequately covered by basic STEM.

There might be a case for some very basic experience with programming in schools. But expecting the entire population to be able to do it at a professional level makes no more sense than expecting the entire population to have the same skills as qualified doctors, lawyers, architects, or pilots.
