Kind of like what's been happening with housing in the places with jobs. It's too bad there isn't some sort of system where we could all have a voice to regulate these sort of things. Kind of like the US had before the Managementism replaced Capitalism and Corprotocrocy replaced deomocracy.
If we ban any company that complies with laws we don't like, taken to the extreme doesn't that lead to every country banning companies from every other country that doesn't have laws that map exactly to their own?
This notion that functional programming is about correctness kept me away from static types and FP for the better part of my career.

I mean - who cares about correctness when I'm trying to ship yet another cookie-cutter web application that I don't even know is going to see more than a thousand users in its life.

What I cared about was speed. A few bugs in production is a better trade-off than all the mathematical mumbo-jumbo and slow, meticulous programming that Typed FP seemed to demand.

But to my surprise, after getting started with ReScript/Reason/OCaml, I recognized that correctness is just a side-effect (!) of this mode of programming. (Note that unlike Haskell, OCaml is an imperative programming language with as much or as little mutation as we need. We can almost line-by-line translate a regular mutation-heavy piece of Python or JavaScript code to OCaml, if we wanted to.)

Typed FP, contrary to what I'd came to expect, is all about speed. Quoting from something I wrote a while ago:

"Refactoring a typed FP program is safe, but menial. When we say safe - it means no anxiety. There is going to be tons of mechanical work for every major type refactor - going thru all the compiler errors and fixing them one by one. That can't be avoided. We've been in multi-day refactoring sessions where we had to dredge thru page after page of compiler errors before we could even run the application. But - it is safe - we know that once it compiles, there won't be any mistakes.

That gives us the freedom to build fast and loose - and take stock periodically before we have to abstract things out and tidy up the place. We should compulsively rely on that safety. Typed FP forces us to go slow in places where a dynamic environment would've allowed us to blaze through. For all that trouble, we get unmitigated refactoring dexterity and we must exploit it to benefit from the paradigm."

There are many places where a dynamic, imperative approach is faster than a typed FP approach. But there are as many or more places where it is the other way round. I'm now fastest with this way of programming than anything else, and I wish that more literature around Typed FP communicated this rather than go about the indirect route of correctness, and expect people to pick up that correctness-by-construction results in increased velocity. That's a difficult jump to make unless one has written non-trivial amount of code in that style.

This book by Sandy - I've read the introduction and skimmed thru the Tile construction equations - is to me poetry. I'm having trouble fitting in the idealistic notion of the Escher tile to my imperfect real-world domain, but otherwise, what a book!

True, the new generation offers better price/performance vs the previous generation.

Do note that the 3080 is still 2 weeks away (17 sept), 3090 24 sept, 3070 in October.

I would consider getting a non-founders edition though, in the past other brands have had better/more silent cooling for pretty much identical pricing.

Edit:
While the 3090 (350W) is the only one requiring a 3 slot cooler, all 3 use the new 12 pin power connector. The 3080 founder edition power draw is still 320W, vs 220W for the 2080.

I was still in school, and science class happened to line up with the [Challenger] disaster. We had a substitute so I was used to that class being Bedlam anyway.

I walked in and didn't believe people when they said what happened. (I had a similar reaction when my spouse woke me up at the crack of dawn by announcing "They knocked down the Towers!") Then the sub rolls in a TV cart. Oh.

The other thing that struck me was that nobody editorialized what they were seeing. I knew that the twin smoke trails spiraling off to the sites were the SRBs, three seconds into the video. There was nothing else they could possibly be. But the announcer was very clear to say they might be the SRBs but we don't know anything yet. As an adult having sat through many lower-stakes RCA and production outage situations, I can respect their reserve. As a child it just made me even more upset.

> Uh, no, you don't ever overwrite a release. You build new versions, test them, deploy them, and if you find a bug along the way, you roll back.

No, not really. You pull from image:latest, or debian, or debian:stable, or debian:stretch, or debian:stretch-slim. That's what you use as base images. The reason you do that is security. You need to incorporate security updates in your Docker images, and in order to ensure your images always incorporate the latest bug fixes and security updates you simply pull from the default base images expecting them to be continuously updated.

Reversible means that there is an equilibrium of

E + D <-> ED

where E is enzyme and D is drug, and ED is the "complex" molecule. Irreversible binding looks like:

E + D --> ED

where the product on the right is effectively unable to become the molecules on the left again. An example of irreversible binding is COX-2 and aspirin.

Or perhaps the problem is taking a concept that is poorly understood by most, and running it into the ground until it loses its meaning.

Triggers and warnings are concepts that are absolutely real, but in most usage is instead a fad and a virtue signal. That much is obvious in this case, when the author puts up a warning for authoritarianism. Please.

I think Epic’s UE5 demo is really really close to reality in terms of lighting and geometry. Next 10-20 years will probably see the same technology being brought into larger and larger environments with more moving parts.

Then there’s the more obvious stuff that isn’t done well even today: skeletal animation is still lacking and feels unnatural, physics systems are still very approximate and constrained - often times most things are indestructible in games, fluid dynamics are still very slow/limited. Human models still don’t look real though, and the voice acting never quite matches the mouth movement or body language.

I do really feel like we’ve crossed the uncanny valley when it comes to natural scenery rendering. But a lot of what makes things feel real are still missing from games.
Telcos have this level of monitoring of accounts because employees routinely would abuse this access to find details of exs, family members, friends and celebrities (billing info, call detail records, etc.). The problem was there was no proactive monitoring - it was all reaction based upon complaints that would kick off the investigation. I asked why this wasn't automatic to detect clear abuse and the answer was "do you know how many people we'd have to fire if we went looking for abuse?".

Nobody is suggesting changing JavaScript's behavior in-place. But there is a more reasonable behavior that could be used for a hypothetical "sort2()" method: just don't cast the values eagerly.

You can still do the cast if needed when they're different types (once the < operator is applied). Whatever, that's the norm for JavaScript. But in this case, the cast to a string happens before it even knows it needs to, which is what makes the OP's case so egregious. In this case all the values are the same type - numbers - and they still get needlessly cast to strings. IMO, waiting until the < to do any casting is not only more reasonable overall, but is actually more inline with expected JS behaviors.

For those who like htop-style system monitoring tools, you should also keep these commands handy:

- atop (great for finding out what's causing system-wide slowness when you're not sure whether it's CPU/disk/network/temperature/etc.)

- iotop/iftop/sar (top equivalents for disk IO, network traffic, and sysstat counters)

- glances/nmon/dstat/iptraf-ng (pretty monitoring CLI-GUI utils with more colors)

- systemd-analyze blame (track down cause of slow boot times)

- docker stats (htop equivalent for docker containers)

The idea that morality is a function of situation more than character is called "situationism" in philosophy, I just looked it up, see [1][2]. Experimental psychology does find that character is fairly weak in most people and that under external pressure people will often behave inhumanely (Stanford prison experiment, Milgram obedience experiment, etc).

I still believe it is important to not be overly cynical. My mental model is that most people are neutral or good. It might be proved wrong say 5% of the time, when people are indeed put in MBS-like position. But the vast majority of the time it will be correct, and it will be much more useful than the cynical model where your normal friends are potential murderers that just lack opportunity. A more correct mental model is not always more useful.

It was one of the first prominent uses of pixel shaders in the game, coinciding with NVidia (not ATI) releasing GeForce models that supported them.

It was so noticeable because it was such a huge increase in quality compared to what passed for water in games before - usually some kind of blue-grey translucent texture. For the first time, pixel shaders produced water that was clearly an attempt to imitate water IRL, not the cartoonish representation of it.
I could ask you the same question, about unions.

What I love are unions that set abnormally high union initiation fees, only offer payment plans on people who sign dues check off forms, then include language in that dues check off form that keeps you from cancelling it unless you do so during a 15 day window every year.

As long as unions can forced on empolyees, unions can not be a market-based economy, it can not ever act against the interest of the empolyees it serves.

Why is it harder for a workplace to leave a union that is no longer serving its interests (to none or another union) then it is for the union to form in the first place?
My thoughts exactly, though it seems the incident happened a few years ago when the mentality of "move fast and break things" mentality was much more acceptable.

I'd be very concerned if there still aren't processes and technical barriers to prevent the majority employees from accessing user data. IP address, phone number, etc. should require top-level authorization to access - not something an engineer or even marketing/sales person can just look up.
The fix for both is the same. Get the government out of the demand side and, if anything, only work on the supply side.

Want lower doctor and hospital prices? Try competing against a “free but you have to wait” government option. Budget $X million dollars per year to put some primary care doctors on retainer.

Want lower private school tuition? Try competing against a free (or at least low cost) government / public option.

If you boost the demand side then the market will suck up any money thrown at it. Loans and subsidies going are the worst approach as they encourage price increases.

This works with housing too! Stop subsidizing rents (increasing demand) and build more houses (increase supply).
I believe you've been misled about "large majority of their money from international students" and am curious where you got this information from. From the data I've looked at, the net revenue a vast majority of colleges make are under 2% from international students. For R1 universities (the national ones you've heard of), it's still under 10% , and finally even if you look at undergraduate tuition only (ignoring graduate students, ignoring other sources of revenue), it's still not the majority.
I like the "unfocused" part. Constant context switching and lack of understanding priorities is a silent killer. As a lead I try to protect my crew from working on too many different types of projects concurrently because it makes it impossible to really go deep which causes the output to suffer and is less fulfilling for the developer.
See the below discussion on why this is not a realistic or user-friendly option.

I have lots of friends in the "movie making" business. Lots of crew members like camera department, set construction, etc. Before Obama care, the only way these folks could afford health insurance was to join the union. Even my actor friends have used the medical coverage as their sole reason. They are not looking to be SAG members for SAG work (we're in Texas so not necessary), but use it for the other benefits.

It's the only time it has made sense to me, within my lifetime. Otherwise, I think unions have way more power than what they need at this time. Now, they have to do things to justify their existence. Would things go back to the way they were before unions if they didn't exist?
Unfortunately, there are reasons to accept a plea bargain even if you are perfectly innocent.

First, reality is not important per se, only how the judge and the jury see it. If you know you didn't do something, but there is evidence pointing towards you, and you have a reason to believe that people judging you would be convinced by it... it makes sense to accept a smaller punishment (for something you didn't do) rather than risk years of prison (for something you didn't do).

Second, the process itself is already a punishment. How many times can you be absent from your job because you are at the court, before you lose the job? How much will it cost you to pay for the lawyer, for travel, etc. If you are poor, it can make more sense to accept a smaller punishment for something you didn't do, rather than ruin your life in an attempt to prove your innocence.
