What do you mean?

It is actually exceedingly difficult due to multiple dispatch. There's an effectively infinite number of different method signatures a function can have.

Currently, anything you want to AOT needs to go into a big monolithic sysimage with the full julia runtime. We might be able to eventually do a shared library approach that you can dynamically link to, but it'll take time.

Doing this automatically without the user opting in would make latency problems worse, not better.

Evergreen | Full-time | NYC, SF, REMOTE | Full-Stack and React Native Engineers

Evergreen is building a comprehensive platform to help people get jobs, especially with the pandemic. But we’re putting the worker in the center and giving them tools that match the powerful automation companies have — to start. We’re shooting for a wholesale inversion of control that creates autonomy for individuals.

Two engineering roles for now: full-stack and mobile. Django, Python, Postgres, AWS, React Native. Both report to the CTO, me. We’re a small, experienced, cohesive team (despite coming together during COVID) who’s growing thoughtfully, despite excellent capitalization.

Sorry, I should have clarified my point a bit on multiple entrances. I have my keypad near one door, but the other doors are on the opposite side of the house. So my kids may open another door and start the alarm countdown going, won't get there in-time to turn it off all the time. I'd like to be able to have 2 keypads.

As well, there is the siren problem. The siren is not loud enough to be heard in all corners of my house well. I'd like to be able to have a siren in my bedroom so if it does go off in the middle of the night, it would be very clear to me.
I'm not concerned about the server. If the performance were good and Microsoft's built in Narrator screen reader worked well with vscode I could use an arm computer for all my hobby programming now. I don't know how well Narrator works with vscode but unfortunately as far as I can tell NVDA is not being ported to arm. Yet another example of the lack of software. I'd consider getting a cheep Windows ARM laptop to investigate porting it but it looks like everything is over $500.
I see your point. I meant it more as a method to quickly get started on a task without having to think too much, but I realize that having to select the easiest part might be too much thinking already. I'll add a footnote for that.

There are so many great thoughts in here... Only halfway through but one of the most substantive UI pieces (or any piece) I've seen in a bit. Lots of this is relevant beyond voice, to then widening range of immersive interfaces around us (text bots, dynamic alerts and recommendations, etc.)

One thing on my mind with voice is that humans generate useful shorthand very dynamically. It would be great if I could conversationally set up more context with Alexa about tasks I do often or music I like, and have that improve efficiency and accuracy when I repeat. Instead, I experience the opposite: memorized commands often stop working because the outside world has changed; for example a song I like getting shadowed by a crappy (but newer) cover.

WTF is going on here?

You claim "If the virus were truly airborne, which it isn't" yet provide no evidence.

But looking at you history you have provided exactly evidence that it is airborne "Video showing microdroplets suspending in air (vimeo.com)" a few months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22776194)

And to quote from another commenter "The part showing how a single cough can create a room-wide cloud of virus that lingers for 20+ minutes in spaces with poor circulation was especially enlightening."

Having watched the vid I can confirm that's what they show, at least as a simulation.

Even the main article says (I'm re-quoting from another of my posts): "There is a big dispute in the scientific community, however, about both the size and the behavior of these particles, and the resolution of that question would change many recommendations about staying safe. Many scientists believe that the virus is emitted from our mouths also in much smaller particles, which are infectious but also tiny enough that they can remain suspended in the air, float around, be pushed by air currents, and accumulate in enclosed spaces" which directly opposes what you say.

How is your parent post not either plain wrong or deliberately sowing confusion? I'm flagging you.

Seems similar to a police sting operation. Providing the opportunity to commit a crime but not forcing them to, so when they do it is used against them. In this case it isn't an actual crime, but an action that is disadvantageous in divorce. But given the comparison, if someone is okay with police stings should they also be okay with this?

Ask HN: Who is hiring entry level?
So the current Who is Hiring thread sitting at the top of HN seems to corroborate an observation I've made over months of job hunting, including before the pandemic.

No one in SoCal is hiring entry level.

So figured I'd ask: if you live in a tech hub like Los Angeles (or Denver, etc.) and have tech product/marketing/coding skills and experience, but only to the extent of qualifying for junior positions, is the job hunting process hopeless?

Or are all the non-senior roles hidden away somewhere?

To put it another way, assuming no network, personal connections, nepotism, or any other typical hiring workarounds, is it realistic to get an entry level job through online applications?

It would certainly seem as if far and away the easiest and best opsec is to not have your phone on you or at least not turned on. Have people really become so dependent on their phones that the thought of being somewhere without one doesn't even come up as an option? I'd certainly at least turn my phone or a burner phone off before depending on not being compromised.
The problem with Dr. Sowell is that he believes that "when he adds everything up" that it tells an accurate and whole picture. To him, people are a simple variable to plug into an even simpler economics equation.

He could learn a few things concerning human judgment and decision-making under uncertainty from Richard Thaler and Daniel Kahneman.

A few points...

+ Sowell never truly questions the data that's the foundation of his work. For Sowell, history and historical data as reported by "conquerors" is never to be questioned. Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman have famously proved how problematic this approach is.

+ Sowell refuses to address human decision-making, judgment and uncertainty. For him, power and violence do not matter. If the black family structure was better and enough for self-improvement post-slavery then why did millions of blacks flee the South before the enactment of massive liberal civil rights policies?

In Sowell's world, America was great from 1863-1930. A time of great uncertainty and white terrorism that resulted in the Great Migration.

I mean yea you're not wrong. Python is a much more general language and has a large ecosystem. But also, not everyone is an enterprise programmer and values the same things you do. This kind of complaint comes up every time there's a new julia release and it's kind of akin to posting in a C++ thread and asking why anyone uses it because the python ecosystem is so much better for your use case.
Ah nostalgia. Thinking about grabbing a used iBook for playing Bugdom.
Germany is doing it. You can get money to pay for the restaurant.

More people than you think are unable to... Because, well, most people spent there money instead of saving..

But if you look at like this : resturant barely passing bye (or freelancers or whatever) go out of business.

If you value facts and good analysis, pay for them. It's that simple. Sure, the New York Times gets a lot of things wrong. So does everyone else, including many commenters on HN.

Yeah, and "If you value your health, pay for an experience that doesn't spread a highly infectious disease". Oh, but just a few people willing to not spread the disease means you'll catch it any way.

The cost of the people who can't and won't afford the truth and choose lies instead is high for society, even for those who get the truth.

There are wide range of things that have degraded in the US based on the "if you value it, you will pay for it" ethos. This kind of reasoning works for the luxuriousness of an automobile - but even for the safety of an automobile.

Service plans have really gotten cheap over time. Google Fi is like 24 bucks a month, and they're not even the cheap plan anymore.
They’re somewhat useful for monitoring. I don’t expect that they’re much of an actual deterrent and ymmv on if they’re worth the price.

But don’t discount the value in monitoring something that you can’t fully control. By the time someone greats into my house they’ll be long gone with anything of value when the police arrive (if they ever do), but having something alert me and the local Fire Department in case of smoke is useful. Same with leak detection and flooded basements, or break-ins. These are things I’d much rather know when they happen so that I can remediate, gather pets that may be wandering the neighborhood after door kicked in, etc during the day than after getting home from a long day at work (not issue in Covid-19 times). Even worse to come home to find a problem when getting back from business trip or family vacation.
It's an interesting point and think it has merit. Personally however, I never bought many DVDs, probably less than 1/10 of the CDs I have. The main reason is that there are few movies I want to watch over and over again like a good album. Perhaps because an album can play in the background, but a dvd practically demands an afternoon or evening dedicated to it.

But yes, every year or three there are more places to put your money.

Are these manufactured in the PRC?
Good to see an article calling this out. Temperature-screening might catch a few people who know that they have a temperature (or are just not feeling well) and are going to "tough it out".

Here in the Portland, OR area I've noticed a definite change in how many people are wearing masks. At the grocery store, 2 months ago there were about 5% of the people not wearing masks and they all tended to be men in their 30s and 40s. At convenience stores in more suburban area, I was the only one in a mask. Now it seems like 100% of the people are wearing masks.

Wearing masks, not temperature checks, is what seems to be our best option.
PowerPCs were great I really miss OS X Tiger.

Redesigning Apple Music After Being Rejected
+1 to this. I didn't do enough research and ended up in a 3 year ADT contact with their extremely dated equipment back in 2016. Eventually I just stopped using their equipment all together and removed all of the sensors and switched to Google Nest products. Terminating the contract required paying off 75% of the remaining amount so I ended up just paying monthly on a service I never used because of how pedatory the contract was.
That is a great photo. To me HDR on the phone is useful for capturing whatever I happen to be doing in a way that is more like how I perceive it in person.
> Should I not blame clothing companies for contracting out to sweat shops

No, but you should also not expect a large company to run itself out of business for ethical reasons. If Nike uses sweatshops Reebok's only options are to follow suit or go under. Making unethical behavior illegal or at least unprofitable is the only option in a free market society.
Those aren't idiotic formulas, those features are intentional. A lack of credit history or an unusually high number of credit applications are risk factors that statistically correlate with credit risk, which is why it is in the score that the bank pays for. You're not the customer here -- the score is for the bank, not for you.

> despite having a great income, somehow meant you can't buy a house.

The correlation between income, credit score, and risk is weaker than you might think. High-income people can also outspend their ability to repay. [0] Banks can use income to rule out a mortgage application, but that number is not useful for measuring the converse, because spending varies widely.

> For example, shopping around for good terms on a loan could hurt your credit score.

Credit bureaus do account for this, because as you might guess, shopping around does not correlate with credit risk. Usually this is done by counting only one application per time window. (45 days in the case of FICO) But, even then, hard hits on your credit are typically weighted very low. The reason it matters at all outside of that window is because they want to identify people who are, for instance, applying for new credit every 6 months because they are in financial trouble and digging themselves a hole of debt.

`view(v, 1:N)` did cause an allocation in previous versions, but the allocation was a small, fixed size while `v[1:N]` would allocate memory proportional to `N`. From what I understand, this was required to avoid garbage collection of `v` in cases where the view would be the only remaining reference to that array. In 1.5, changes to the GC allow views to be placed on the stack now.
