You could do what we did in some distributed teams at Google: just have a permanent "call" going with everyone normally muted. When someone would like to receive attention, they unmute and speak. It's not as good as walking up to someone's desk, but it's not as bad as having to schedule a call in advance.

I'm pretty sure I ran vulkan apps via RDP and they worked fine. I think it was also on GTX 960.
I don't feel it's so bad. You have a a specific flag to tell the compiler to show warnings if you have any.
So you ask for perspective on something you don't understand, get some, and then reject it? And insert your own. Okay. Alright. Go with your comparison.

I'm pretty sure it was also reported in the past that Bezos traditionally favored ex-military for manager positions when Amazon was starting, but I cannot find a source atm (seems like yesterday to me but more than 20 years have since passed...).
Right but you forgot the escape hatch, that you can vote in-person on Election Day to override your mail-in ballot. This gives you the ability to vote for B while appearing to vote for A.
Modern landfills don’t pollute.
Isn't it tragic that that stands out as objectionable?
That's because of sunk-cost rather than design.

Thanks to LLVM and GCC you can happily write embedded code in a higher level language, but the vendors don't bother supporting it because a lot of embedded coding isn't really what we would call software (no tests etc.)
> However, I can't see how they will avoid enormous conflicts of interest between Nvidia and other competing Arm customers and that this will be to the detriment of everyone who makes and uses Arm based products (except Nvidia).

Yes, this. I see people talk about this but not enough imo. How on earth would Nvidia ever be allowed to purchase Arm? That's a massive conflict of interest. I know the rules don't really matter when we're talking about companies this large but this is so blatant, to me.
You generate fake traffic until you get real traffic. That's how Reddit did it, at least.
I wouldn’t have cancelled the contract, we’re not getting anywhere with purity tests. We can appreciate what George Washington & Thomas Jefferson did AND disapprove of their slaveholding. Life is ambiguous and messy.

The one rant I read indicates that he thinks the country was not founded on slavery and that Reconstruction was not thwarted, Jim Crow did not exist, federal redlining of Black neighborhoods until recently did not happen, and none of the people that I’ve hung out with who have chatted about f’ing up n*s actually exist. That’s an issue for another venue and I applaud his candor in stating it, sort of a flat-earther earnestness.
Infinitely less feasible, even. I swear it's like half of these commenters have never had to deal with a user.
Softbank has to prop up Uber and WeWork with something.

I dunno, would you rather have ARM technology owned by a US company or by a front for the Saudi sovereign wealth fund?
The gatekeeping isn’t necessary. Some people pick up programming because they have an idea they want to implement, rather than because they want a rigorous formal education in computer science.

Plastic separation is tricky, they tend to have similar physical properties so you end up relying on small density differences or optical properties or computer vision which is obviously not so great. I think most places it's still more cost effective to do it by hand.

Metals are easy to separate from one another, they tend to have substantially different densities and electrical properties. Aluminum for instance is not magnetic while steel cans are, but aluminum is conductive so if it passes through a magnetic field it will still get slowed down.

Those are the two big ones in any case. Then you could get to things like nickel (magnetic but intermediate conductivity) or tin (light but non magnetic) or maybe zinc/magnesium, but basically the densities are more different and the properties are more different so it's easier to tell them apart. And for some things that it can't figure out it makes sense to just landfill it.

Plastics though, absolutely vastly harder. You can use density but it only varies by a few percent. You can use diffraction gratings and cameras to see crystals and maybe sort a bit by that. But really it's just very hard, especially since the same polymer has different molecular weights and crystallinity. Your milk jug is milky while the same molecule processed differently is clear.

But even that's a mess -- you can't generally "depolymerize" these things very easily, you are really melting them back together and reusing the melt. When you start from monomers you can control the molecular weight (chain length) which controls things like crystallinity and stiffness, so the quality is higher. If you melt a variety of different molecular weights back together even if they're the same exact molecule the physical properties will just by worse. It's just the nature of the beast, and it sucks.

Even if you recycle by perfectly melting all the PET with perfect sorting and no food residue you'll be guaranteed to increase the variability in the physical properties of the output. It's just chemistry, unless you can convert it back to monomers it'll never be as good even in the best case.

For metals at least you can count on a fairly full recovery if you invest in it, it's not like polymers where it's just not possible. Even with alloys like steel you can at least in principle go back to the raw materials if you wanted, even if they are quite tricky.
> So more plastic in packaging but more goes into bins, wonder if it equalizes out on harm-done compared to Japan?

in japan, most trash is incinerated... ive never looked into it, but i suspect that some amount of that turns into fine-grained soot (e.g not very healthy)
Not to argue your general point, but there have been a number of Roman Catholic breakaway sects since then.
Let's say 5 companies in 5 different markets did break antitrust laws and the government focuses only on company 1's actions and doesn't even bother looking at what 2-5 do.

In that scenario, I'd say 6 parties are acting improperly: all 5 companies plus the government.

I like cory doctrow, but if you're looking for a neutral depiction of the role of corporations in society, you should probably look somewhere else.
I think because the return type hasn't been specified for the function, so it is inferring the return type from the return statement (which means it is "correct").

Don't forget JavaScript (and therefore typescript) will let you concatenate a lot of random types together without error.

Yes, and... I’d be curious to see which digital nomads follow the local taxes regulations. It’s easy to get in trouble with working abroad.
Enron inflated their numbers for short term gain. One example is how they claimed VOD revenue that hasn’t yet occurred.

I get the impression you think I’m claiming the market is always short-term biased. As with Enron, I think the market can be biased in the short term while still being accurate long term when those biases are realized and corrected for. As I think Buffet said, in the short term it’s a voting machine but in the long term it’s a weighing machine.

The problem is if you get caught confusing the two. Just ask anyone who planned on retiring around 2008. The difficulty is knowing when you’re being “irrationally exuberant” or not. We humans are awfully good at fooling ourselves.

Same with the S&P. It’s easy to claim it goes up in hindsight... unless you’re needing to cash out on those sideways decades. It’s not claiming a long position that’s hard, it’s timing it correctly to avoid those sideways and down periods that’s difficult.
The "create a Wiki page" suggestion is one I used for quite a while. You just keep reminding people that some of the answers are written down out there, and they only have to look. But try as I might, many people just won't participate. Not sure why that is.

My suspicion is that it's part of an, "If I don't have to be involved then I'm not special" fear, but I can't read people's minds.
You picked out one aspect of four. A college professor who gets recognition for controversial research they do does have the opportunity to contextualize that research. Someone who spends weeks or months devoted to doing something wasn't "caught on a bad day".

An executive fired by their own company isn't "thrust into the spotlight".

If your personal definition of cancel culture is "a non famous person faces consequences for an act", that's fine, but it's also a uselessly loose definition.
With hardware there's really no substitute for having a stocked lab and good technician in the building. A broken blue wire or fried chip could mean me losing an hour to a day of productivity depending on whether I have parts on hand and how difficult the rework is. In the office it could be fixed before I had time to grab coffee.
This is not a discussion looking back 250 years at someone. It's looking back on the behaviour of someone living 1 year ago. Or yesterday. Or today.

Well apart from the OS installed on the device you are buying from an OEM.
Perhaps I was unclear, the implicit typing is so:

const result: FetchResult | Error = ...
if (_.isError(result)) {
// Here TS knows that result is of type Error
return
}
// Here TS knows that result is of type FetchResult

On my phone, apologies for shorthand

In any case, with this pattern TS can easily tell the difference between success and error (or left and right or whatever) as long as the error / left case is a class of a different type than the success / right case.

Tldr, where relevant, classes are cleaner than tagged disjoint unions in TS. Errors are one situation where this is relevant.

OK honestly this shit is equivalent to global warming denialism and should be tolerated just as much i.e. much less than HN let alone mainstream media allows.
This conversation was deeply frustrating. I'm ordinarily a huge fan of Fridman's show, but he gave this guy an inch and he took a mile. Essentially using recourse to expertise (and constant references to military acronyms) to give credence to claims to go way beyond what he directly experienced. It's pretty clear that despite his protestations Fravor enjoys the limelight and had become pretty inducted into the 'ufologist' community.

His experience is interesting and valid. His conclusions were anything but. Most notably, given the US govts well documented history of experimenting on members of the military, which seems more likely: a) That (as he clearly believes) intelligent aliens with anti-gravity and necessarily ftl drives cross the vast chasms of interstellar space to buzz some aviators or b) that this was the result of either a natural phenomena or a psychological experiment on the airmen themselves. When we eliminate the almost certainly impossible, a whole range of improbable but vastly more likely alternatives present themselves.
You’re talking to someone who thinks it’s lame that Steve Jobs appointed himself a censor and thought that other people he’s never met should be prohibited via products he helped design from viewing porn.

Adult humans who decide for other adult humans what they should or should not be allowed to choose to read on their own devices are lame as fuck.
Yes, over the long term the market will correct itself. But in the short term many people can lose their shirts over short term gamesmanship
Zelle is the brand name for Early Warning Services, which used to be called clearXchange, and is owned by the biggest banks themselves. When I write there is no middleman or third party, I mean that the money goes from the sender's account to the recipient's account. With PayPal/Venmo/Apple Cash/etc, the money goes from the sender's account, to Paypal/Venmo/Apple/etc's account, and then to the recipient.

Also, with Zelle, you never need to give anyone your bank account number, and you are never authorizing anyone to reach into your account and take money via ACH, like you are with Paypal/Venmo/Apple Cash/etc. It’s also instant.

The positive thing about physical immersion is that it provides lots of practice opportunities as a simple consequence of daily life. It’s not as helpful if you create a comfortable bubble and refuse to venture out. Sometimes it means rejecting invitations from classmates and seeking local experiences instead.

Another nice thing about immersion is that you can engage with cultural events that may not be present in your own country, and gain a deeper understanding of the natives themselves, which ties straight back into the language.

Depending on the country or your living situation it can be really hard to branch out... learning while living in a student dormitory was great because I was forced to express myself, even if I was sick, felt less motivated, missed home, etc.
I'm thinking that the book I learned Pascal from back in 1981 used a similar notation (if not identical) for showing syntax. Of course with nearly 30 years intervening, I can't come up with the name of the book, let alone the book itself nor can I be 100% certain that I remember what the syntax diagrams looked like.
I like JSON a lot, it's my go to for ad-hoc data storage. I've found it extremely convenient because nearly all modern APIs can return json. Further, jq makes working with json extremely ergonomic.

For certain tasks (personal use) I hand roll my own json document storage database. I make a bunch of rest API calls to collect data and store it in flat files. While doing this, I use JQ to store subsets of that information (the stuff I really care about) in smaller json blobs. I then write a script to aggregate all of the smaller blobs into a larger json array.

That's almost no work and you already get a nice schema-less database. Write some commands (stored-procedures) to do any kind of filtering/modifications and you can immediately get whatever view you want of your data with one command. Write a wrapper script to identify documents by a field (primary key) and you can make data modifications in an ergonomic way. I run "modify-document <primary-key>" and it runs a tiny readline bash script prompting me for info which immediately modifies the corresponding database row.

A work flow could be...

1. Make API requests (with gnu parallel) storing the response json and a smaller json blob.

2. Aggregate the small blobs into an array.

3. Filter blobs for any that are missing information.

4. Manually update blobs missing information with readline script.

5. Filter for blobs that need processing.

6. Process blobs, use readline script to mark them as processed.

7. Continue until all blobs are processed.

This is the kind of thing I would use excel to do in the past. Hopefully I never make that mistake again.
I have a number of friends who have posted a book they've enjoyed in their story after finishing. I've gotten a few recommendations and had a few good discussions from that.

Social media is pretty dependent on how you use it - I have non-toxic experiences because I mostly only follow people I know on twitter/IG/FB. Turn off retweets (or equiv) for those who use it to spread negative bs.
Another fee will not solve the problem.
1) Dump tip fees are not artificially low where I am.
2) The cities and county together conspired to pass business licensing requirement that anyone in business collecting trash is not allowed to dump it outside the county.
3) The State where I live has a tire reclamation fee at time of purchase to prevent tires from being disposed whole in landfills.

This year I learned with my own eyes how that fee is spent. The landfill buys a shredder ($300,000+) a conveyor ($50,000+) to stack a big pile and a wheel loader ($200,000+) to sprinkle the shreds into the incoming trash stream.

Non-productive and energy intensive green wash with the material ending up in the same place. But it is no longer "whole".
Battle Toads is still an awesome game.
I think I'll have to just agree to disagree with you on that one, I think that glass will eventually be used even if it's not the right time today. I think it is worth the investment to separate it out since it is comparatively low hanging fruit to get out of our landfills later.
In some places there clearly is a push towards "back to the office" for everyone. Which is quite different from "you can come back to the office if that works better for you". E.g. our offices are pretty empty (and thus safer to be in), but available to those that want them, whereas I see customers where there is clear pressure to be in the office if at all possible.

SlickDeals, as with most deal sites, is the equivalent of a B movie in Hollywood. They're considered trashy, low quality sites. Buying SlickDeals is close to bottom fishing if you're Amazon.

Goodreads was classy by comparison and was/is not primarily about deals or referral links. Amazon considers itself to own the book category, period. Books will always hold a special place in their heart as the origination of the company. Amazon, as with all big companies, also considers its brand when it purchases other things. (some of the tech echo chamber may laugh at that notion, however that's nothing more than ignorance as Amazon has an extraordinary brand among the general population)
Honestly I'm not sure why some people oppose "dark matter" so much. We know there's something out of ordinary, it behaves like matter, and it doesn't interact with light (hence "dark"). Given that, "dark matter" is as inoffensive a name as possible. People are acting like we named it "quasiflavored eleven-dimensional supersymmetry carriers."
How would you know that the servers are implementing the scheme that they claim they are implementing? How would you verify that they are not counting extra votes from people who don't exist? How would you verify that a cosmic ray didn't flip a bit in a count somewhere?

And the other side: if you claimed that your vote was improperly counted, how could I (as a law-enforcement officer) verify that claim? How could the election body trigger a re-count?

Of course, these fundamental issues are all moot anyway, because of the even more fundamental issue of intelligibility. I understand exactly how the voting system works today, how the integrity of the vote is assured, how fraud is prevented. So do my grandmother and my 16 year old niece. With a system relying on homomorphic encryption and resilient, secured hardware and software, do you think that there realistically exist 1000 people in the entire world who could be personally convinced that the system is secure end-to-end, from the mathematical models to the systems running the software that is claimed?
It accumulates in blobs, around some galaxies, trailing others, and not in some galaxies at all. So the appearance and behavior of it matches the model that there's "stuff" there, not that there's some parameter missing from our gravitational model. With the latter you'd presumably get some less arbitrary accumulations of it.
I'm an MD of a very small firm in the UK and I have had my mindset changed by events. A huge social experiment on homeworking has been done (and ongoing) and results are in.

This advice depends on what you’re actually building and where you’re needing design help.

If it’s a Saas product and you aren’t able to close leads due to a lack of product features, then sure, don’t hire someone to design what you already don’t have the resources to build.

However, I doubt this is OP’s problem. I’m guessing they already have some traction, and are having customer complaints about the general usability or are losing to more polished competitors. In this case, it’s stupid not to bring in specialist design help.

Hiring more construction workers to work on a poorly architected building won’t suddenly make it more appealing to tenants. If the architecture is the problem, hire an architect!

So the name of dark matter might be misleading, but there is some mass/pressure/something that's causing gravitational lensing but itself doesn't interact with light.
