The 4a is looking nice, especially at the price point and for a "stock" android experience. I've started looking for a replacement to my Essential PH-1 since my USB port is getting very loose, and charging is becoming difficult. I wonder if there will be a demand for people who got the PH-1 on fire sale? This price point to features is what we've been missing since the early nexus days. The 3a was a nice step in this direction, but this looks like a very solid competitor in this field.
Syapse here! We are a real-world data company working across life science (pharma), hospitals, and with the FDA. We want to use real-world evidence to improve the outcomes of cancer patients. When many think of Health IT, they think primarily of patient tools, which are important. However, lots of decisions are made between pharma, hospitals, regulators and health plans that effect us; and aren't always grounded in what happens in the "real-world". We are hoping to help those decision-makers make better decisions for oncology patients using data, analytics and expertise.
Agreed. Of course I don't think this is what GP was implying, at all, but for the record it would devalue a ton of work to say that Blender is where it is because it started as a closed source product.

Blender is where it is because the core organizers over the past decade have had a clear vision, great community management, and have worked their butts off to make the software as good as it is today -- in terms of UX, capabilities, performance, marketing... everything across the board.

When I started using Blender, it was not as powerful or usable as other software in the field. It was impressive, and having a good core did help, but the program today has just advanced so far, I'm not sure it's really comparable.

See also Krita, for another Open Source project I think is headed in the same direction as Blender. None of this stuff happens by chance, developing Open Source software that's popular with a general non-programmer audience is really stinking hard, and the teams that can pull it off deserve all of the praise they get.

There are some advantages to vertical integration like iOS has.

What?! There are static languages that compile faster: Nim, D... Honestly, I used ggplotD library and it takes roughly two seconds to compile and miliseconds to show the plot.
One of the reasons mutual funds have trouble outperforming their benchmark is because they secretly don't even want to. If they constructed a portfolio with low market exposure, they might lose money when the S&P 500 is up, a sticky situation to explain to clients. If, however, they just match the S&P 500 secretly, then when they're down, no one blames them because the market is also down as well.

Finance is dominated by perverse and misaligned incentives between clients and money managers that result in the managers playing the meta-game instead of just focusing on delivering alpha.

Perhaps with the advent of ETFs, mutual fund have become even more risk adverse, delivering just pure beta, and that's why we no longer see a momentum effect?

Or perhaps new information is more quickly incorporated into the price of a stock than in the 80s, resulting in shorter periods of momentum?

I don’t think they automatically sprung to his defense though.

It seems to me that the Republican establishment didn’t support Trump but that he was able to rally his base in order force their support begrudgingly.

I believe the term that Trump’s base used for those Republicans was RINO, Republicans In Name Only. So the fact that this vocabulary existed among Trump’s base to me indicates that their support for Trump was not automatic.

> ... std::unique_ptr and such. These have a runtime cost and ultimately mean getting locks. I've seen estimates of this cost in the single digit microseconds.

You're no doubt thinking of shared_ptr (which I guess is what you meant by "and such"). That has a reference count, which does not lock but does use an atomic counter with the usual costs that involves. unique_ptr has no such thing and is essentially free.

First, IBM doesn't make thinkpads and hasn't for close to a decade.

Second, this is just because they know who their market is. They're deliberately not marketing their laptops to people who don't want to have to handle a little bit of complexity in exchange for flexibility.

Apple is the Sony rx100; good but not great sensor, good but not great lens, good but not great audio. Everything is fixed and you can only make superficial changes.

Thinkpad is the Red Komodo; everything is optional, but it doesn't even include vital components in the box unless you know to order them.

You can get decent results with the former, and it requires very little thought or experience to buy and use. There is a much higher ceiling for getting exactly what you want with the latter, but it requires you to know exactly what you're doing and be willing to do some work on your setup.

Neither option is objectively better.

I appreciate the distinction you're making here. I don't have enough facts to prove or disprove it.

But, I'd like to ask: are you suggesting that aerosolized droplets cannot be seriously spreading this disease because they will evaporate almost instantly?

I ask because there is quite a bit of research suggesting that aerosolized droplets are spreading the disease, and can hang int the air for a substantial period of time. Do you think this is wrong? If it is wrong, why do you believe people are suggesting aerosolized transmission?

Points for creativity, but in my opinion this borders on rule-lawyering with not much benefit. The code that tells the ARM/M4 to load stuff from that SPI flash can be easily changed, it's in the bootloader, so it can change that code before putting it into the DDRC.
I think adding external projects to a C++ project is a major decision that should be taken very carefully and the amount of research you need to do to make such a decision pales in comparison with just how exactly you integrate it in your project so you can #include its headers and link against its libraries. Then once all that work has been done it's now part of the internal repository so using it with any number of internal projects should be quite easy.
> would you lend vast sums of money to someone who has never demonstrated their ability to manage and repay a loan?

Yes, of course. I don't think paying off a loan requires practice. You don't become more trustworthy or responsible just because you borrow money.

In fact, someone without loans (and high income) suggests they take loans seriously and don't want to live riskily.
A more specific tactic I have discovered to avoid thinking and start straight away is to make a very quick promise to myself:

That I can quit as soon as I get too bored or hit a block of some kind - this relieves me of all the concerns that I might need to worry (think) about upfront, I waved those requirements when I allowed myself that quick exit.

Most of the time you just end up persevering, and due to the nature of these unimportant tasks - not planning just doesn't make any meaningful difference.

During the start of the COVID pandemic, two of my friends traveled to Florida for a cruse. Naturally, they were quite worried about the prospect of getting on a plague ship in a foreign country.

Fortunately, the cruise operator was giving everyone a forehead IR thermometer scan, before letting them board the ship.

Unfortunately, at least one person ahead of them in line happened to scan in, and be let on board, sporting a cool temperature of ~85 degrees. I'm not sure if 'body temperature of a two-hour-old-corpse' is a symptom of COVID, but this did not ease my friends' anxieties for the duration of the trip.

Zerto | Remote | Full-time | http://app.jobvite.com/m?3j1Q7lw7

Hiring for 12+ roles around the world—including US, UK, and Israel—but I am mostly here to plug the Senior Competitive Intelligence position. This opening on the Technical Marketing team is perfect for someone who loves getting hands-on with enterprise tech and then sharing what you've learned with a wider audience.

We are particularly looking for someone with deep experience in the data protection, disaster recovery, and cloud migration spaces. That is, if you don't have experience doing competitive work, but are/were an SE or technical marketer in this industry (e.g. at Veeam, Commvault, Cohesity, Rubrik, Veritas, Dell EMC etc) then you might be a good fit. Zerto has some seriously cool tech and is changing the way companies protect & recover their data—including after ransomware so orgs can, well, avoid a 4.5M or 10M ransom.

Also, as many can-openers will know, some others will watch you doing your thing, without you being able to stop them, and learn from that to use the loo in comical but clean ways.

Comical as in how they crouch on the lid, hind legs spread wide, butt hanging low over the middle, forelegs on the front.
Clean as in not hitting the lid.
They basically want their shit "gone" without having to mess with it. If they see/watch/understand/learn a possibility to do that, they'll use it.

Personal knowledge questions are just clear text passwords that can be determined from publicly available information.

By “I think C++ can do anything Rust can do, and I would like it to be much simpler to use.” I think he’s saying that he knows there’s an issue with the complexity of C++. See his quote “Within C++, there is a much smaller and cleaner language struggling to get out” https://www.stroustrup.com/bs_faq.html#really-say-that

Features can’t really be removed from C++ because a major advantage of the language is compatibility with existing code. However, within that constraint, C++ is driving toward a simpler, cleaner, safer dialect. It’s a hard problem.

This is what I meant when I stated

> It's amazing to realize that writing down the first thing that comes to your head is usually like 80% as fast as a good, performant implementation. (As someone who has done a decent amount of work in performance engineering for embedded platforms, I really enjoy squeezing out the last drop of performance from most programs, but doing this for every single first-pass at a program, like in Python, is rather annoying if this is what is needed to get a usable implementation.)

Yes, Julia is not necessarily faster than a good C implementation (that doesn't leak, etc), but, like Python, what would be a 300-line C implementation, where one has to somewhat carefully manage typing and the abstraction is really rather complicated for something that is mathematically simple, we can usually write 20 lines of very performant Julia that is 95% as fast.

Attempting to do something relatively similar in Python is often slow enough that giving a practical implementation essentially needs to be coded in C and interfaced with Python, where we return (again!) back to the same problem we had before: writing a 300+ line C file for something that should be rather simple, mathematically speaking.
