Neither; 25 is somewhat arbitrary, and I'm very much not an expert in the space, just an interested observer, but generally speaking the idea that the various artifacts and workflows needed to establish and trace and transfer and finance and so forth real property could be fully digital and supported by adequate legal infrastructure started in earnest in the mid 1990s with MERS [1], early eNote [2] work, and many others. I don't have good references handy for early work on digital titles themselves, but my understanding is that this also started, more with the rise of PCs than the internet specifically. This all has only recently reached maturity, and now COVID has accelerated adoption [3].

There will be 2 separate subgroups of "diverse" approaches.

One group of approaches will be used by people with money who spend it on innovative small group supplemental learning/childcare pods via hired tutors.

The other group of approaches will those used by those with very limited means scraping together whatever childcare they can afford with little ability to tend to academics or social development.

Which group of approaches would you want your child in?
You're ignoring the rest of the supply chain and localization of talent. If I run out of a chip in the states it might be a week or two of the line being down, in Shenzen I can have more that day. Similarly if I need to have a test fixture made or modified on short notice where do you think the talent is? Even if a US shop could do it better, which is a big if, can they do it faster? Cheaper? And why wouldn't I want engineers located near my assembly line close to the previously mentioned chips for the install? There's quite a few steps between design and final assembly, and for a lot of products assembly is much more than smacking something with a hammer.

EDIT- I'd add that this isn't just about China or moving manufacturing to the cheapest location. Let's say I need a specialty injection molded part with tough requirements for med device. The best shop might be in the US, or maybe Germany, or maybe Mexicali. Automation isn't going to change that.
What oil soluble dye did you use? I was looking for oil dyes for another project and I found them hard to find.
Same here. More than once a week when I was a kid, once a week as a teen, now it's about once every few months in my late 30s. I have correlated it to body temperature though - the more blankets I use and the hotter I am over night, the more dreams remembered, lucid dreams, and nightmares I get. Although they're fun, I value my sleep more, and so these days sleep with the thinnest donna with the windows open (even in winter).
Precisely. Also the negotiation takes a long time and usually the risk is not as high as agpl, since these contracts dont have clauses like 'all your ip is mine'(except one player here known to try to sneak such a clause in every time).
We just launched our MailerLite integration :)
I'm only part way through the proposal, but perhaps this would be a candidate for being placed in the vDSO so there's no context switch at all.
Yea, $100 is kind of a lot, which is why we priced our smart speaker blocker at $40. It's called BuzzOff and is available at buzzoff.info.
The most important thing for you to identify is what the key characteristics of the person that you're trying to hire are -- can you teach them the technology if they don't know it, but it's key that they're able to interact with your customers in a helpful manner? Maybe it'd be OK to be a bit gruff if they were able to handle all your DevOps tasks and take those off your plate. Figure that out - and then bias for those characteristics.

Even then, you absolutely cannot distill how successful an employee someone will be down to a single document, but equally, you can't interview everyone - so there's some level of pragmatism that you have to exercise to be able determine who to interview. My experience here is that the filter criteria doesn't have to be the typical screening that a bunch of us probably are frustrated by (e.g., "does the resumé mention Python? No. Route it to /dev/null").

I've tried the following.

1. I'll filter by folks that I think have demonstrated some interesting commitment in their journey to where they are. For example, interesting side projects along with their professional experience, or a non-traditional route to their role (e.g., didn't attend college for the "expected" subject). My experience here has been that these folks often have different insights that have correlated to being easy to work with, and fruitful for the teams that I've engaged with.

2. I'll try and determine folks that are able to communicate in their resumé some particular outcome that shows that they had a wider perspective than their immediate role. This tended to me to show that the person was able to think a bit wider than the task that was on their plate, which again has correlated with good teammates to me.
Kind of amazing for a gun company to go bankrupt when the industry is seeing record sales, even ignoring the spike with Covid.[1]

If you're getting emotional over resumes just wait until you get to interviewing and you actually meet them!

I started my professional career recently, and when I was applying to jobs a timely rejection was the second best outcome to me - I knew that avenue was closed so I could focus efforts elsewhere.

You're just overestimating how badly people take rejections - especially when all they've done is submit a resume so far.
Tufte's footnotes are my favorite. They're especially brilliant when you have typeset documents on 8.5x11" paper, because you wind up with huge margins if you're using a humane line length for your main text.

I still miss the Wikipedia article "List of Guantanamo Bay captives accused of possessing Casio watches" (I think republished at http://wikialpha.org/wiki/List_of_Guantanamo_Bay_captives_ac... ) which seemed to give evidence that watch ownership was used to classify people in detention camps.

This computer was designed the better part of a decade after Bill Gates's letter. The environment is really completely different - the personal computer revolution has already happened, these people are aware of it, etc. In fact, such computers were available but well outside the budget of many. So it's the story of making a PC from available parts, without hard currency and as cheap as possible - radically cheaper than the early US kits.

In Python, we use Arrow a lot for going between diff frameworks: file -> ( pandas <> cudf <> cugraph ). When we work with DB vendors, we now push them to provide Arrow instead of whatever proprietary in-house thing they've been pushing for the same, e.g., slow JSON / ODBC, untyped CSV, or some ad-hoc wire protocol. Also, we use for going between our services within a server + across.

On the nodejs services + frontend JS side, there was no real equiv tool for interop -- traditional soln is slowly round-tripping through SQL/ORM or manually doing protobuf through some sort of pubsub -- so Arrow is part of how we have been taming that mess too. It'll be a longer journey for Arrow or something like it to get adopted in JS land, but I can see folks doing TypeScript and serverless wanting it for a cleaner solution to typed data, faster serialization & streaming, etc. (There is no true JS equiv of pandas nor a typed variant.) We were a bit early here b/c we wanted streaming through WebGL + OpenCL/CUDA, and while we are fans of typed data, found protobuf tooling to be too unintegrated and manual in practice.

This is accurate. SK has Chaebol and Japan has Keiretsu which has revolving doors to technocrat bureaucracies and governments where jobs, power and money are free flowing between these entities.

This is historical fact, not a theory.
Sure, but those countries were also doing a ton of testing, contact tracing and strict quarantines (even very early in the epidemic).

Masks are certainly a part of of it, but I wouldn't assign the entire impact to them.
Aside, but I find it fascinating that the inventor of Modafinil, Michel Jouvet[1], was also a dream researcher and even wrote a novel on dreams.

Regenerative breaking with the right EV could make a huge difference here. I use my breaks way way less now than with a traditional car.
It has such a confusing name.. I always think this is something interesting, and then it's just more ML bunk.
Ex-finance SWE here. I closed the article after that part. If you don't understand accounting and read this, you'll only be more confused when you learn how accounting actually works.

For the most part, devs in general should not be teaching accounting. There's a reason that it is so challenging to earn a CPA.
Nope. The original comment said "using some kind of tool". That's false.

High school exam results 2020
Sorry to be a jerk, but quickly rule out professors like this. Go listen to Maria Konnikova's interview on the Longform podcast here https://longform.org/posts/longform-podcast-400-maria-konnik... about her working with an advisor that was skeptical about the academic system. It's largely a racket and I say that having gone to an Ivy League and having worked in an elite lab in high school before working for Google. I would also listen to Thiel's talk on YouTube "Competition is for Losers" -- about creating genuine value and side-stepping, to the greatest degree possible, competition on metrics that a lot of people care about but just don't matter.

I want to appreciate the academic system, but unfortunately so much of it is prestige and credential games. It's best to step outside of that and work with others that are beneficiaries of these systems as opposed to slaves to them. It took me years of finding a degree of independent success in spite of hating the Ivy League I went to (thinking it was my fault for years) to get over this mentality.

If the last 5 years of working hard as an IC at a startup that had a 1B+ acquisition -- and watching others, too -- it's that you need to (a) be dedicated (b) work hard (c) work with others that believe in you (and only care so much about credentials) to accomplish great things.

So many are precluded from accomplishing great things due to a sense of miserliness and scarcity that academic systems create (avoid individuals with this mentality/do not cultivate this mentality within yourself at all costs).

There are wonderful, lovely things going on in academia, but also unconscious yet incredible MLM/Ponzi scheme-like things, too. Chose your path carefully and again, don't get discouraged.

That said, perhaps academia isn't right for you, too. And don't get discouraged by that either.

Bluetooth is supposed to require that but not all implementations do.

Apple has some additional out of band signalling so that if it is paired on one device you don’t have to do any handshaking to switch it to a device it’s never seen before as long as that device uses the same Apple ID.

It’s nice, it reduces friction but as you say it’s a small. Ice to have at best.
Yikes, interesting that banks don't try and facilitate it easily. Is it an issue of scale? Or just that they can get away without it ... or relegate the job of 'consumer' banking to other corporations e.g. Google or Apple
Uh, I know what it means. Millions of others do, too.
From the article:

> But I want to talk about the cognitive issues at play. When footnotes can contain anything from a citation to essential background information, the user is forced to break from the flow8 of reading – often in the middle of a sentence. This is a problem in both paper books and electronic books.

I think this is...the idea of footnotes? That you don't break the flow and it's safe to skip over them, but if you're coming back for a leisurely read later, you can look them up and see what you missed. [1] When you go over the text a second time, you can follow the references to the footnotes and see the interesting crumbs that the author laid out, which often lead to a train of thought separate from the main flow of words.

------------

[1] At least, this is how I have used footnotes for a while when reading, and it works quite well. YMMV, since people read and comprehend differently.

It definitely is in the family. I say this while staring at my stack of F91W-1 Classics. The only difference between mine and the one in their header is the top right says “ALARM” instead of “F-91W”, and a few other minor face label differences. Unless it’s a counterfeit, but either way every other detail looks spot on.

My guesses (in order of likelihood):

1) More sleep, and easier to respect their circadian rhythm

2) Reduced un-conscious stress levels related to: the comfort of being at home in a safe place...the comfort of knowing they won't go into labor early while far from home and around non-family members...the comfort of knowing they're eliminating unforeseen risks that come with venturing out into the world

3) Significant reduction of non-natural movements/processes such as: getting in/out of car, sitting in stiff desk chair all day, work-schedule dependent restroom use, commuting related stress

4.) Reduced air pollution
In some cases it is difficult to define the table columns up front. Instead, a few tables: Object, Property, Time and Value (example below) are defined which make it possible to create new items on the fly. This works reasonably well up to a few billion records in the value table. However it does end up taking a lot of space (covering indexes/requisite memory are required for performance). It would be great to see a Postgres compatible solution that solves this problem in a more optimal way than a stock RDMS.

Object
objectId
objectName

Property
propertyId
objectId FK
propertyName

Time

What is the larger significance here? Does this mean the gun industry is struggling? Sounds unlikely given the spike in purchases.

Maybe it's just another old company that once had a good reputation but has lost its way. PE probably involved.

Or maybe there is some market shift. Like, fewer hunters purchasing lever actions and more urbanites buying semi-auto pistols.
I'll echo what other people have said about taking care of your mental health first.

If you're strapped for cash as a software dev, either you're not budgeting appropriately (take a sober look at how often you eat out), or you're not making nearly as much as you could (look for a different job), or you've set yourself up to live beyond your means (switch cars, or look for a different living situation). I've been in both of the first two situations before, and getting out of them had as much to do with a different mindset and finding good people to be around. I've always tried to live within my means (aka not taking on more than a couple weeks worth of debt if I can afford not too). That being said, taking that close look at your finances can be difficult when you're not in a good place mentally, so if you can get some help there, I'd recommend it.

If you have family, or really close friends, you might see if you can crash with them for a while, working on a career pivot during that time, or just looking for a different workplace.

I lost a tech job in December of 2018, and didn't get back into tech until August of 2019, and ended up working fast food for a few months. It was a nice time for clarifying some things, and establishing my identity beyond "guy who writes code". Before I was let go, I was struggling with getting things done and fitting into my workplace.

A big YMMV on this, but do try to take some time to walk and start considering some angles to life that might seem more crazy than you'd normally consider.
> I suspect that most train-driving AIs don't have a really good set of training data for this scenario...

I suspect most human drivers don't either. The AI might not make a particularly good decision, but is there any reason to believe that a human would make a better one?

> I highly recommend getting one of these or a similar sensor. Also, I'm looking to find something similar but capable of measuring CO and CO2, if anyone knows let me know.

I have some suggestions for bare boards/chips that you can program yourself and run your own self-hosted IoT cloud over WiFi.

CO: $8 [0] + [1] and very very easy. Great place to start, but these sensors have a reputation for being somewhat garbage (see downthread discussion for more detail). I wouldn't use it as an emergency carbon monoxide alarm but it'll do sensitive measurements (10 to 500ppm), even if it's not accurate and I'd guess not particularly repeatable over time. There are more expensive ones available which may be more reputable. Just need an arduino or any other micro controller. I personally like [2] because it has built-in WiFi but still very cheap. I run a basic web server on them that exposes the data to Prometheus/Grafana. See [3].

CO2[4]: $60 here and you'll want a $10-20 ESP32 or ESP8266 to go with it. Arduino libraries are already written for it and the Arduion IDE has good support for ESP32 so I doubt it would be much work at all to test on / port to ESP32 and fix any porting bugs when they pop up. Alternatively if you feel like writing the interface from scratch you can go down the $40 for equivalent parts from Arrow, DigiKey, or Mouser. Honestly - interfacing with these things is generally not complicated at all as long as there aren't hardware bugs or undocumented behavior.

tVOC: $20 here[5] It looks like your PM 2.5 sensor does not also measure total VOC, so this could be handy. For a very scientific breakdown of how a metal-oxide detecting chip can be used to calculate VOC's, see the following[6]. Thankfully, there is free firmware supplied by sparkfun which does all the heavy lifting, but whenever you're using a chip cross-purposes its good to double-check the math and science.

I personally combine these kinds of sensors with the WiFi-enabled ESP8266 or ESP32 microcontrollers, which make for ~$20+ USB-flash drive sized sensors I can litter around the apartment/outside. I like controlling my own cloud, because I can't stand how Nest only provided 7 days of historical data, or reliance on cloud servers for things like itead.cc / EWeLink apps. It's stupidly simple to set up Prometheus and Grafana to self-host your own cloud. See mine here[7]

Is there a software library that has the same "procedural power" as tools like Houdini? Eg, where I could build something like this demo, but purely in Python.

I've tried using Houdini which was very powerful, but was put off by the "visual node builder". I'd like to be able to do something similar, but purely using code.
