> society should support such economic conditions that parents are allowed to spend more time with their kids [...]

I totally agree. But I'm not sure how you can use that to support your original statement.

> one shouldn't have kids unless they have the means to dedicate sufficient time and attention to them.

Do believe that no one in a deficient society should have kids whatsoever?
For some lines that go above ground (Northern, Jubilee, Central), the driver sometimes had to put it into manual mode to compensate for the worse breaking when it's raining outside.
The problem is that whatever you'd search for, that term could and eventually would, by any means necessary, be found in "employees’ health information, performance evaluation and even job applications to the company". Then again you can't not see the irony of the situation where FB is complaining that someone is requesting too much data from them.

> Facebook is also seeking interim measures at the Luxembourg-based General Court, Europe’s second-highest, to halt such data requests until judges rule

Having participated in such investigations I can tell you one thing for sure, whatever the final outcome of their initiative FB can only win from the respite this would provide. Evidence gets old and data retention policies just happen to kick in, evidence gets lost, evidence gets moved to another jurisdiction, etc.

I am taking the uncharitable interpretation because it's the most realistic.
This is a correlation without causation. The root cause of both fiat currency and the worker being ripped off, is globalization.

Fiat currency did not cause the disconnect between productivity and wages, the same way that the disconnect between productivity and wages did not cause fiat currency. They were both caused by the shift to a complex global economy.
How can someone change from introvert to extrovert. As per my current understanding this kind of thing is a very fundamental personality trait. Not saying it's impossible to change, but curios how to do so.
The act of controlling a plane can be done entirely by looking at gauges, but that's not the only thing a pilot does. Pilots are also interfacing with ATC, flight attendants, dispatch, maintenance, and passengers. Even if you replace these interfaces with a computer usable format, you still need someone with judgment and responsibility for the flight. Pilots exercise their judgment over the information they receive from these other sources, and to coordinate these resources for efficient, safe flight. It's a huge challenge to replace all of this with a system.
Yeah, I think that's about exactly it. He was micromanaging and also somewhat randomizing, asking me to switch focus often when he thought something else was higher priority, which doesn't work well for my work style in terms of actually getting things finished. And to my non-credit I didn't really communicate this issue to him at the time.

But I think he did figure it out much like you described, and is successfully managing (and not micromanaging) a high performing team today.
So in the end, as I claimed initially, this function can't be written in a simple, safe way in Haskell; and as the article I linked claims, Haskell's type system can't encode the type of the cl_map function.

It's nice that Haskell does offer a way to circumvent the type system to write somewhat dynamic code, but it's a shame that in order to write a relatively simple function we need to resort to that.

Note that the type of cl_map is perfectly static. It would be `Integer N => (a_0 ->... a_N -> r) -> [a_0] ->... [a_N] -> [r]` assuming some fictitious syntax.
> anything trained on internet data is kinda doomed to poison itself on the high ratio of garbage floating around here?

Low-quality noise cancels out and leaves the high-quality signal. In the limit, the internet offers the true sequence probabilities for compression of natural text.

You can also put more weight on authoritative data sources, such as Wikipedia and StackOverflow, but even uniformly weighted: It is possible to sequence-complete prime numbers, despite the many many pages online with random numbers.

GPT-3 is trained on a filtered version of Common Crawl, enhanced with authoritative datasets, such as Books1, WebText, and Wikipedia-en. Moderation is done automatically, with a toxicity classifier/toggle. If GPT-n becomes good enough to be accepted in authoritative datasets, then it is perfectly fine training data, a form of semi-supervised learning.

Bias is going to be a double-edged sword: I believe it will be impossible to prescribe common sense, nor to sanitize common sense to remove, say, gender bias, and still be able to understand a sexist joke about female programmers, or male nurses. We want an AI to be human, but we don't want it to associate CEOs with white males, dark hair, wearing suits. That will conflict.
The difference is that thousands of dogs, kids, and trucks don't pass by my house every morning on their way to work, then again in the evening on their way home.
Sooooo the issue with bitcoin+socialism would be the lack of easily centralized controls by which the party/state can manipulate the currency and that people are incapable of doing altruistic good, therefore the party/state must have those controls?

Authoritarians are gross.
And you're sure of this root cause analysis because ... ?

Also, if that's the root cause then surely you can point me to some correlation between "globalisation" and some measurable ills of the world? After all - causation does mean correlation.
It's a little more complex than that. The intent of the parties /drafting/ the contract do matter. Public writings clarifying the intent do as well.
At present we don't have any specific plans around WebRTC or HTTP CONNECT, but I'll keep those in mind. It might be easy to support CONNECT if/when we support raw TCP; it'd just be another entry point to the same subsystem. WebRTC would take a lot more effort.

If you can manage to tunnel over WebSocket, though, that'll be supported a lot sooner.
But why should that return results for Venus Fly Traps? You are search verbattim for the sentence "What's the name of the plant that that eats flies?". I'd say it's a bug to return any result that doesn't have that specific sentence.

If you were searching that sentence without the quotations I could get behind it return Venus Fly Traps results, but if you are using the double quotes you are trying to search for that EXACT string.
Kernel's fsyncing behavior is one thing, but just relying on a massive amount of fragile C code running in kernel is a significant liability, especially if your software is a centralized database and crashes, panics will bring down everything.

That’s not the type of master that’s it’s referring to. But I’m not sure etymology really matters I guess.
I think you were partly right on this, so wanted to update you in case you're interested. Science has a new interview with Zhi Zhengli who also no longer supports the idea that it was probably from the market:

"However, two papers published in late January revealed that up to 45% of the first confirmed patients—including four of the five earliest cases—did not have any ties to the market, casting doubt on the theory that it was the origin. Shi agrees: “The Huanan seafood market may just be a crowded location where a cluster of early novel coronavirus patients were found.”

Useful to know: the linked GitLab documentation points out several flaws with "default" as the name for a branch, in particular the cognitive association with financial default (a negative circumstance), which would make internationalization hard and while not as terrible an association and history as "master" still a bad association that now I've thought about it I cannot stop thinking about.
Classic NIMBY'ism :-)
That is a problem which crypto proponents are actively trying to overcome.
I'm actually getting this spam now (started a couple months ago). Would love advice on how to get rid of it!

They are important but packages far outnumbers it.
I'm not sure on the cost, but I know it's common to use lasers at an angle on windows to spy on conversations via a laser microphone. That requires less of a line of sight. Is this a cheaper method?
Every GPL violation that I've ever heard about remedied was remedied over time often months to years. If you never create derivative works you don't intend to share you will never have an issue. If you do clearly and obviously conspire to break the law you can probably still negotiate yourself enough time to comply with the law and retain the rights to your own software after having tried to get away with breaking the law.
There’s a similar app called Focus Timer that does this without the trees. It only counts the time spent if you keep the phone face down.
> Holding Bitcoin is literally free.

Interesting claim.

How do you secure it, back it up, and bequeath it to people on your passing?

Don't those things cost time and actual money?
It isn't an ill-informed author, Yanis Varoufakis is a very respected and competent economist.

Of course! You could replace Bitcoin with any other fixed supply currency. This is literally the point of the article! He is arguing that Bitcoin cannot work for the common man, because it has all the issues of fixed-supply currencies that lead to fiat currency. Transitioning to Bitcoin would be akin to restoring the Bretton Woods system, and would be disastrous for everyone.

He is indeed addressing a feature and property of Bitcoin. That feature is fixed supply. That is what matters to an economist, because it has huge impacts. Varoufakis, in this essay, doesn't talk about the tech, because not only has he already done so, but because it is irrelevant to the analysis that he, as an economist, makes about the consequences of a switch to Bitcoin.

Well there is spamming build logs. If you have used npm enough, you've probably seen someone asking for a job when you run npm i.

This spam is possible from the console.log output of npm packages as they get installed.
Apart from landing and take-off, most flights are in autopilot for most of the flight duration nowadays.
My understanding is that it was a UX issue - the "malfunctioning" was the system working as-directed by the user, but the UX was horrible for informing the user what they were doing.
There is very noticeable lag when navigating the site. Clicking the counselors link takes seconds to open. This on a top of the line android phone.

I've worked in several of those industries. Oddly enough, open source was always easier there. I'd challenge you to find a regulation which prevents open source in any of those industries.

I think the one exception -- and this was an extreme example -- was the firmware of a medical device which could endanger human lives if modified. Things were locked down.

But generically? I'm batting maybe 75% with open source in highly-regulated industries.
Ask someone you know at Google who is high enough up to make an intro.
Yes, and also the traditional answer was that the kernel handles weird and complicated hardware and can talk to RAID controllers properly, but nowadays hardware has much less variance, and RAID is rare (and arguably unnecessary for a direct-IO database).

I think it'd be viable for an enterprise-y database to do IO directly over NVMe. Imagine the efficiency and throughput gains you could get from a database that (1) has a unified view of memory allocation in the system (2) directly performs its page-level IO on the storage devices.
Yes, and that is exactly what the essay is about. Crypto proponents will only be able to overcome that issue, under capitalism, if they solve the issue of a fixed money supply. It is not sufficient to solve the computing issue if it leads to massive inequality and concentration of wealth, as well as other problems.
For the past few years the performance work (e.g. commit graph) has made a huge difference for large/fast moving repos. They're big enough to be productivity enhancements for some people: when we merged our Android-like multi-repo setup into a proper mono-repo we required updating git because things like git status/git commit/git log could take minutes without the recent perf fixes.

It pays to follow the release notes because some of these features are opt-in (e.g. commit graph is still optional).

The sparse checkout stuff is great but still too low-level for us to use, but it's laying the groundwork for something good.
They will explicitly include the search parameter in such documents specifically to prove they are irrelevant and that they should not have to comply with future requests. It's an actual tactic used in all such investigations.

The investigators obtain some circumstantial evidence for what they should search, request it from the company being investigated, then hope that they get enough of the evidence before that company manages to poison the well and make it look like the investigators are on a witch hunt that's so broad it can only be spiteful.

When this happens you can be sure that they're doing their darndest to hide something. From my experience the cases when such investigations are chasing ghosts are rarer then hens' teeth. After seeing the process from both sides I can honestly say that given how chronically deprived of resources (most of all time) almost all investigations are, when they go for something you can bet the farm that it's hidden somewhere in there and they just have time to pull it out before the other side buries it completely. The more damaging the data, the more resources allocated to burying it.

P.S. Let's install on every car this emission cheating device that tricks all the tests and brings us more profits, we'll never get caught. Young child support parents mortgage breast lump. Welp, guess the evidence is compromised now, we'll have to look elsewhere.
IMHO the only problem is what people wanna see in words.

master/slave has been with us since forever (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23969906) and describes a relationship between two entities where one is the controller and the other is controlled, in many religions (including the most popular one) there is still a master God (or more than one) and believers are slave to God (with the capital G)

But in Git there is simply a "master" branch, there is no master/slave relationship, there is no hierarchy enforced, branches are just copies that diverged from the master copy, master as in master recording or "the source from which all copies will be produced"

I honestly have a hard time understanding what's problematic with it.
I never view it as a binary situation. I personally see myself moving along the scale between the two based on situation and my mood. I view myself as mostly introverted but occasionally surprise not only myself but also wife with my extroversion when the conditions are right.

Perhaps the original poster just found the right conditions for their extroversion to blossom.
It's also something we did in Canada as well. There were good reasons to make sure that the postal office had their pensions well funded. They're most likely to be disrupted by technology. We expected email to eviscerate traditional post, and it has, but for now package delivery and spam mail are making up the shortfall. Even so, it isn't too hard to imaging a post office that runs at a fifth of the workforce once we get more competition from autonomous devices.
My point is mainly that I think a statement that "it's a society rooted in tradition" that doesn't cover the not-so-distant past where a significant portion of the population, even if not a majority, was much less traditional in views needs to either account for that. Kabul (and the metro area around it) looks to have had over 6% of the total population of Afghanistan in 1978, and that's just one city.
Keeping an operation like Google going forward at that scale going is not a job for talentless hacks,
this is amazing advice. I figured this out the hard way as the manager just last week. Was initially apprehensive as I haven't done much pair programming before, but it was incredibly productive and my report loved it
In the rest of the world is not as problematic, as we associate master with teacher. But we are used to America forcing their culture down our throats. Like they did when tried to force down their hatred for the police on us. So, another one to the list. It would be nice if some day they tried to consider how the rest of the world sees things. For a change.
That seems like a good way to make a piece of equipment just not work. The stuff inside the printers also probably relies on proper capacitor values.
Outcomes of Cardiovascular MRI’s in Patients recovered from Covid-19
I see what you mean now. That's 19 with additive Roman numerals only, right? And for good measure, you don't even have to rearrange the digits, you can just order them as DCCCCLXXXXVIIII and cover the unused ones with a cloth.

With subtractive Roman numerals, you can get away with just 17 digits, but you lose the feature of not having to rearrange them.

Edit: actually, how did we get 19 here? I agreed at first, but my number above is just 15 digits.
It doesn't talk about technical features because it's about the macroeconomic features (unsurprisingly, as Varoufakis is an economist). He criticises it because it removes the ability of central banks to sharply increase the money supply during a crisis. Whether or not you agree with his argument, it is quite specific in that respect.
So sad that someone can take an introductory course and then YEARS later be employed in the industry.
2017 SOTA on Penn Treebank was 47.69 perplexity. GPT-3 is at 20.5. AI has already been productized on consumer devices through Siri, Google Assistant, speech detection, speech generation, textual photo library search, similar data augmentations for web search, Google Translate, recommendation algorithms, phone cameras, server cooling optimization, phone touch screens' touch detection, video game upscaling, noise reduction in web calls, file prefetching, Google Maps, OCR, and more. DLSS alone justified continued investment by NVIDIA. NVIDIA Ampere will be ~6x as fast at running consumer-targeted models as Turing, given raw throughput increases compounded with sparsity and int8 hardware. A huge number of research threads around AI have direct applicability to large tech companies.
Good idea!

For the even lazier who won’t jump without more context, he’s a low-brow, misanthropic, intentionally-stereotypical Chicago Italian who really enjoys studying and cultivating native plants, and talks in-depth about botany while getting sidetracked by rants about humanity and occasionally saving small animals. He ends most videos with something along the lines of, “Have a nice evening, go fuck yourself, bye.” HST would have called him “one of God’s own prototypes” even if they might have hated each other had they met.

The first time I saw one of his videos, I thought it was a joke until he got waaay too deep into Latin names and plant structures for it to not be legit. He’s got a millimeter scale tattooed on a finger so he doesn’t have to carry a ruler around.

He has a Patreon and isn’t a prick about it, barely mentions it, and I suspect that some of the big donors who help fund his trips around the world are the same tech entrepreneurs he rails against. I’m so happy that he’s out there doing his thing.
The Zen of waterfall:

At some level everything is waterfall. If anything is to get done at all, at some point the programmer has to make a plan, then put his head down, arse up and implement it.

At another level nothing is waterfall. If the plan is successful it was shipped to the consumer (which may be the programmer himself), and it's very presence changes things for the consumer in ways that they didn't foresee. They then realise they need a new set of changes.

What we call waterfall model is really referring to the scale. If the plan is grand, the specifications for such a grand plan need to be detailed, the implementation long, and the time between putting the head down and evaluating results is large, and we call it waterfall.

But if the stragegy is to explore the solution organically, the re-evaluations are frequent, the waterfall periods are short and we call the strategy something else.

So in the end everything uses waterfall. The programmer would not get the long periods of intense focus he need to be productive without it. But also nothing is waterfall, because no plan can foresee everything, it must be continually re-evaluated in the light of unexpected changes it brings as it is implemented.
> I think it's also worth noting that "derivative work" is an established legal term

The last case I could find that substantially attacks the question of what constitutes a "derivative work" in the case of software was in 1994 (!), and I can't find any case that tries to answer it in the case of software libraries (whose only purpose is to be used in larger works). There are tests for determining "derivative work", but a) minor circuit split there and b) they're difficult to apply. In the context of what we're talking about here, it is not an established legal term. In such cases, courts are going to lean more heavily on consensus interpretation.

There's a not-well-understood interplay here between the rights of authors to control derivative works; extending analogies copyrightable and non-copyrightable elements of literary works (well-established) to software (far less so); fair use; and general contract principles (specifically, selling a product confers necessary rights to use it). Our current legal understanding of the situation is almost entirely based on an informal consensus rather than any case law, and there is wide potential for a single oddball case completely wrecking everything... like Google v Oracle.

> Determining what constitutes "intimiate enough" sounds pretty difficult and open to interpretation

I read that generally as suggesting a mens rea approach: if you're building IPC in such a way as to specifically avoid meeting license obligations, you should be considered in violation. If instead you're using it in a more well-defined and sanctioned API boundary, you're probably okay.
