Why not use a dictionary or parameter object when you get past 2 arguments? Or is that not a thing in PHP?
Absent of AMD processors for desktop is recently become a problem for performance. Absent of NVIDIA GPU has been also a problem for performance and CUDA availability.
That's only part of the problem. The other part is locking away all of your data - emails, files, contacts, calendar, apps - if you don't want to agree to a change to the policy. Own an Android phone? Good luck opting out of a change to the agreement!
Exactly, a down market is a problem for anyone with a 401k or savings in etfs.

People day trading options may be just as well off in a down market, since they can buy puts or volatility indexes to make money on any direction of market movement.

I think the more these things are talked about the better. The research may not be definitive but people should be more aware of the high-g's, impact of brain injuries on their lives based on the experience shared by top-athletes, cases of suicides etc. It may be an individual's personal decision if they want to get involved in this sport but at least they will be relatively more aware of the potential risks with what they are getting into.

Also, in this day and age of metrics-madness, it is incredible that important measurements such as g-forces (even if just on the helmet) are not routinely recorded and/or shared as part of scores/stats.
Huh? But he didn't ... he just fled.

When I started my PhD I became tangled in a similar situation. I denounced it and it got me kicked out of that program. I had to start over, but I would do it again if the situation called for it. No amount of money or "awards" compensate for having a dishonorable life.

Oh, that is a very good way of putting it indeed. Since this is a weekly occurrence for me with customers, I’ll be stealing this for scolding them. Hope you don’t mind.
Google can beat them by also offering a paid-for search engine. People trust Google with their mail and phones, they will also trust google with privacy-respecting search.

On the other hand, how come Cliqz has been shut down instead of being sold?[1] Are there no companies with deep pockets who are interested in containing Google's revenue besides MS? E.g. since Cliqz was so privacy focussed, wouldn't that have been a great start for Apple to have a privacy respecting search engine?

Thanks for the tip. I also have the Sonys. Anyone who thinks they sound great needs a hearing test. Not a patch on my 2 favourites, Sennheiser HD-25 (or any €100+ Sennheiser for that matter) and Beyer Dynamic DT-990 Pro (great home listening and mixing headphone). Even after tuning the Sonys to correct their flaws they still sound tiring. Will check out the settings you recommend.
Have you used a helmet before? They don't track the heads movement very well. It's not that they lag behind or anything, they just move in completely different directions willy nilly. Even tight ones will have much sharper acceleration changes as they bounce around.

I regularly wear a full face helmet with tight fitment and straps and it is moving way more than my head is.

Is that notsosmart enough?
You are still saying what Weinstein said you would say.

Weinstein has laid out a case. It theoretically makes sense. It is quantifiable. He makes a good argument it is massively significant. If confirmed it is fixable. If confirmed it means things in other fields.

This is in pop culture, anyone researching with mice should have heard of it, so the fact no one can whip out an article disputing it says a lot.

Science is broken and scientists are not to be trusted. I think this is a good test case how science deals with this and if it can actually move forward. It needs a good rebuttal to address the issue.
The Cresta Run has had to find its own underwriter because many refuse to cover sledding. I can't find it now, but at one point I was looking for "extreme sports" cover, and was surprised to see that even in that space, the Cresta was listed as an exception to coverage.

I never understood why people use Docker. QEMU exists
That's what the above comment was referring to when saying people to things like:

call_user_func_array($function, ['length' => $n, 'foo' => $bar, ...]);
even separate physical machines

I think that is overkill for self hosting. Also as the author says below, Go is more memory safe than C/C++ in that there is no use after free and buffers are bounds checked.

This confirmation bias is everywhere. As in, “this calculation looks off, we should re-run it” or “this number is wrong, let’s call it an outlier”. Sometimes there’s a good reason, sometimes it’s wishful thinking and they are hoping the next one will be more “correct”. Distinguishing the two is not always easy, either.

From my experience, it is checked most of the time before it becomes fraud, though.
This is a interesting point.

Many Big Tech ask their suppliers to use green energy or reduce carbon footprint.

But, their product is not "green" at all. Many of them make battery extremely hard to exchange. It is quite common in laptop and cellphone.
> I don't know how you could put an airbag in a helmet

I own a Hövding, and they're supposedly six-to-eight times better than a traditional cycle helmet (particularly for neck stability):

https://hovding.com/our-vision/

https://news.stanford.edu/2016/10/03/stanford-researchers-sh...

Improvements to traditional helmets can definitely be made, although I'm not sure how practical an airbag helmet is for tobogganing, where it must also resist extended friction and multiple repeat impacts.
Could you comment on why you are moving away from elastic beanstalk? We manage a fairly simple EB deployment but it seems perfect for our infra needs, and I'm not able to imagine why we might need to scale out of it - if any other services are required, I'm tempted to only launch multiple EB deployments instead of going the kubernetes/fargate route.
> Living in downtown Palo Alto probably costs 100% more than living in Pleasanton, which is roughly a one hour commute.

As I understand, there’s heavy resistance to building any sort of density in Palo Alto. That will, of course, skew the cost of living. I believe that people are constantly priced out of the city as well (i.e. they wanted to stay but couldn’t).

> I wonder if this is one of the reasons big tech companies run buses — to make the commute less painful and blend into the background of life.

The American perception toward public transit is that it is unreliable, crowded, dirty and/or filled with poor people. Knowing that there will be a seat on a clean bus to take you home without much worry is a major sell and can convince people to ditch their cars (whether or not the equivalent public transit commute actually matches the above perception).

When I was in a situation where I could take the “tech buses” regularly, they for sure helped make a long commute bearable.

I don't think it's a given we can reverse or even stop climate change. There are many positive feedback loops going on right now.

AFAIK neither the Paris accords or any climate management proposals entertain the idea of stopping climate change.

Edit: positive feedback loops are things like the melting ice caps. Less sunlight is reflected back to space by the white ice which means more is absorbed by the dark sea. This causes the earth to warm and more of the ice caps to melt....

In climate science there is something called the tipping point. This is when mechanisms like positive feedback will make drastic climate change inevitable (with current technology).

When the tipping point will happen is up for debate. IMO the idea that we have already passed the tipping point is also up for debate.

I'm using this and really love it, but it's annoying if you want to use a domain name instead of IPs, because if the DNS records change the old IPs stay in with the new ones.
It depends what an interpreter means to you. You might need to use hash table lookups of variables and do switch cases on types in trickier cases where the compiler can't figure out what's going on, but you can leave out the main VM/interpreter part.

We Don’t Need to Work So Much (2015)
It's high compared to the general population. https://www.ibsf.org/en/athletes?nationality=CAN&gender=M&la... lists all make national team members going back to at least 2010. There are less than 500 national team members listed between the US and Canada. 3 deaths / (500 people *7 years) is 85 deaths per 100000 person years. The normal us rate is closer to 27.

That being said, I agree it would be interesting to know if other speed sports have similarly elevated risks or if it is unique to bobsleigh

If you're looking for confidence in infrastructure changes then I 100% recommend fighting through the 'horrible to write' CloudFormation/Terraform.

CloudF is infra as yaml and Terra is as code. CloudF also has the CDK which can use TypeScript and be infra as code that 'transpiles' down to yaml.

All options feel terrible. It's like learning a whole new programming language that takes 10 minutes to see if your code runs or which part got stuck.

But once you've got your stack working, changes are a breeze and can be done with way way more confidence. Spinning up clone environments is barely any work.

Is it terrible? Absolutely. Is it worth it? Again - absolutely.

If I had to do it again, I would pick the CDK (more powerful), but the fight would've taken longer.
Docker is about the tooling, not the namespaces.
Sure the helmet helps with g-forces. Say you're going down the track and enter a tight turn. The helmet contacts the side of the sled at say 5 g's because the helmet is hard and so is the side of the sled. The brain impacts the helmet, which impacts the side of the sled, but the padding in the helmet spreads that impact over a greater period of time, since the padding compresses, so the brain only experiences a g-force of 2.

You can have typed dictionaries too, even in a language similar to PHP: https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/more_types.html#typedd...

But anyway, I'd prefer anonymous records like in F#. There's no reason to have static and dynamic mappings have the same syntax, especially if they're not the same to the type checker, even a compiler could statically dispatch the static variant. So I agree with you that dicts are overused.

I'd think that such a solution doesn't solve but merely moves the problem.

A method with N arguments, where N > 2, with a call that is messy due to the number of arguments could instead take a single argument being a parameter object where the constructor for the parameter object takes the same N arguments.

Most baseball cores are made of wood cork. When socked in hot water, it can be "cooked" until soft. Then it can be squeezed into the bottle. When dried, the cork restores to its original round shape and hardness.
I think your mileage may vary. I've had bosses as you describe in your situation.

But as a counterpoint, I also had bosses who were definitely mentors and were growth oriented. Those were the workplaces were I felt I learned the most and perhaps not surprisingly those people are the 'former bosses' in my network that I still stay in touch with and that occasionally check-in to talk about life/work/family.

I've only really had two bosses/mentors like that in my career so I agree that they are statiscally much more scarce.
Some time ago I made a fun hack where I abuse the Go transparency log to store immutable url->fingerprint mappings of arbitrary urls:

https://github.com/mkmik/getsum

Example:

$ getsum https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases/download/3.4.1/bazel-3.4.1-installer-linux-x86_64.sh
9808adad931ac652e8ff5022a74507c532250c2091d21d6aebc7064573669cc5

now, if somebody ever replaces that file on github, getsum will fail with an error.

(I was too lazy to make getsum actually download the file if the checksum matches, but that should be trivial; for now just do "getsum $url && wget $url").

This works by creating synthetic Go modules that embed "facts" about URLs inside generated Go code, which gets then downloaded by getsum and parsed using the stdlib "go/parser" package. Since all Go modules are recorded in the Go "sumdb" public transparency log, once this module has been generated it cannot ever change. (Getsum uses a constant "version" for the synthetic packages, thus facts are immutable).

I'm confident this works because it piggy-backs on the stable production transparent logs infrastructure of a high-profile project managed by a high-profile company.
On the other hand the Go transparency logs admins could ban my "getsum.pub" domain if the generated traffic bothers them. This was for me just a quick way to show to some colleagues the potentials of transparency logs etc, and of course to have fun.
Ethereum-based options trading is going to enable these consumer experiences to be global, private, decentralized, and self-sovereign within a few years. It works already, but has many sharp edges.

When that happens, retail investors in Utah or Uganda will be able to short TSLA on a web app; no regulators involved, thank you very much. The implications are exciting and concerning.
It's interesting to compare how these two are described:

Philip said some racist things, and Henry is only alive because the US doesn't let its citizens stand trial for war crimes. Henry going to hell this year would be a bright spot in an otherwise shitty year.
- usually not even needed on real hardware. Focus on a sound architecture (which will reward you in everything you do). But depending on situation VMs are an excellent choice and it is easy to spin up more

- that is an antifeature

- seems trivial compared to keeping up with all the cloud gotchas

- possible anyway

- sure, but you probably don't need expensive hardware to start, or go with VMs

Australian Consumer Law has many provisions based on the fact that many companies are not always able to be fully sued in Australia. In order to prevent this the end retailer is responsible for ensuring consumer rights. Of course the expectation is that the final retailer then claims against their distributor who then claims against the manufacturer / publisher.

However this has been a problem with some digital marketplaces as they entered the Australian market. For tax reasons many products were sold via a Irish or Singaporean subsidiary and thus tried to avoid taxation on the sales (even some were selling in $AU from these offshore locations). As these loopholes were closed many companies essentially accepted they had Australian presences (mostly due to the changes around tax). However Australia has some fairly strong consumer protections (at least on paper), fairly broad statutes (terms like "reasonable durability" and "fit for purpose") and a fairly active consumer rights defender (ACCC) and many organisations have avoided Furthermore consumer rights cannot be removed via EULA agreements and such. Many organisations didn't change their systems for Australia as they were "mostly" compliant, and considered that digital goods were "New" and "Different" from the rules that affected physical products and retail operators.

So under Australian Law.... yes. Gamestop (or more likely EB games in Australia) is liable for the refund. However they can then turn to their suppliers and sue them for breach of contract for supplying defective products. It is reasonable Future stability doesn't come into it, as the product was sold misleadingly. EB Games has already been taken to task over this for Fallout 76 and trying to claim people aren't entitled to a refund.

I agree with the subtle point behind the fraud crisis: misaligned incentives.

However, that doesn't excuse the individuals doing it. "Because jobs" is a terrible ethical excuse.

Nevertheless, you have an interesting point there.
I don’t think that’s the thesis of the article. Rather, I think the article is saying that nice things alone don’t compensate for the opportunity costs and negative second-order effects you incur when obtaining _some_ nice things.

To use the article’s example of living in a city versus a suburb: If you can get a house in a suburb and can commute 15 minutes or so and are within walking distance of the stuff you care about (including your friends/family) and don’t value any of the perks of living in a city environment (or heavily dislike the downsides), then go for it. But a big house in the suburbs _alone_ isn’t automatically going to make your life better, yet in my experience that’s a very dominant mode of thinking.
Na, Steam never offered refunds at all prior to the ACCC Stepping in. then they had the whole 'hours played' refund.
This could indeed become very interesting not only for retail and restaurant real estate.

If there are considerably less entertainment locations in cities, moving to the city could potentially become a lot less attractive, especially for young people. Combined with the current push for remote work by workers and companies alike this could push real estate prices way down.
I'm not a fan of lotteries either but when someone plays a lottery, they have fair odds of winning. With trading, most of the time, they will lose and someone with millions in the bank will win.

I didn’t find that an issue at all, and not sure what you mean about the laptop part I only use the mobile app to upgrade my qc 35s.

I do find the Bose UX to be horrible though for another reason, which is the incredibly stupid “feature” that the headphones can be connected to multiple devices at once. Since I use it both with my phone and laptop and they’re often in range of each other, sometimes the audio control will just switch back to the other device than the one I’m trying to use, I assume because of some background process that’s still open, and I lose my sound. If one device is on the edge of connectivity range, it’ll beep every couple of minutes as it connects and disconnects even though I’m not even using it. Then if I ever want to connect a third device like a tablet, it’s made to switch back and forth between exactly 2 devices not 3 so things get even more messed up.

It’s quite annoying, and I feel like I’m the only one bothered by these issues because I don’t see a lot of other people complaining. But I’ll definitely be switching to a different brand away from Bose when these headphones wear out. Probably the upcoming over ear Apple headphones, since I find airpods to not have any of these issues and generally work great at switching between two devices without being stolen back by the previous device.

Well "ridiculously patronizing" is a way to see laws. People can always look after themselves.

Another way to look at laws is that they protect the public from the predatory forces that we can't seem to just outlaw outright. Because PACs get in the way of legislation for the public good.

I'm sure there's some other way to look at it but I've already found at least one I agree with.

It was certainly dominant at the time, but not for that long, mostly early 90's. The decades before saw - by today's standards - rapid switching of dominant home, business and server hardware and corresponding OSses.

So it was not a safe bet in 1996 that Windows and Microsoft would still exist and be a big market player in 2020.
