I think the simple distinction is that McConnel upset decades of detente and will reap enormous rewards and pay no price. Compare this to Joe Biden helping confirm Clarence Thomas because he believed it was the Senate's duty to give nominees a fair hearing and that the favor would be returned. That is over now and we're in a game of beggar thy neighbor. The salt in the wound is that Trump is only president due to antiquated rules that are set in law despite being a truly pointless tradition.
38% as well.
I mean, there's not taking it seriously, then there's taking to social media to bash it in the comments. If you're going to do that, then at least take the time to digest it. You don't have to inflict your willful ignorance on to others.
Considering how much of dev is powered by coffee, this is a deeply concerning post.
I am about to graduate with my degree in computer engineering so I have a few good resources for you. I was in a similar position, and what really helped me was doing personal projects. Some that I can recommend are:

Ben Eaters videos on creating an 8 bit computer on a breadboard will teach digital logic, computer engineering fundamentals etc.

Building your own operating system, the osdev subreddit and wiki have many great resources to go from someone who knows c to understanding how that relates to the hardware.

Anything robotics related, working with Arduino and other microcontrollers is another big one, as that is part of any electrical and computer engineering degree.

If you need any other resources or have questions feel free to reach out, I am happy to give advice.
It's pretty close. The tactile sensation of writing against paper versus glass is different.

I do wish pencil could be attached to the ipad easily without having to buy a special case though as they always tend to separate in my household and having to go hunt the stylus down makes it a lot less useful.
They do: the interface is (usually) libc (or some equivalent), not the actual details of how libc makes said call.

For an example of how this can play out, the parent is referring to things like https://marcan.st/2017/12/debugging-an-evil-go-runtime-bug/
“For example, top-1 accuracy in the ImageNet-1000 improved by between 0.5% and 2.7%. And Average Precision (AP) accuracy increased by up to 1.8% for bounding box and 2.2% for semantic mask in MS-COCO.“

Just how significant are these results?

Thanks for the link. I actually saw that when it was posted but there's new comments since then.
Zero responses or zero offers? I find it hard to imagine not one of the 1000 positions he applied to wouldn’t even bother to respond provided he is qualified (or even in the ballpark) for the the job.
Absolutely. But if you make that decision, why waste more time commenting on it? I don't mean this to be negative, just food for thought.

Wouldn't it be nice if he asked you opinion about this kerfuffle instead of "confessing" at you?
One possible factor could be that if those researchers are taking away the source of my happiness hormones (the sweet cloud of mindless meme browsing) that then my brain goes in overdrive and releases fighter hormones, so I can quickly finish with that stupid experiment and that I get my toy back quickly.

I think they are measuring the wrong thing.

A junkie can get very creative and intelligent just to get his/her next shot.
It's not an unanswered question. It's a meme that the government figured they could use to make people imagine the trash they leave being mailed to them by the government, which then implies the government knows where they live and who they are, whenever they leave trash.

Why does there have to be a means for the government to mail the trash back to the people, if just imagining the trash being mailed to them causes them to stop leaving trash?

I doubt you are going to leave trash, and the reason why is because you are asking hard questions of an illusion.
But still they are up like 50+% this year?

Facebook makes more profit than some stock markets as a whole (might be an exaggeration). Tech companies did well in the crisis, adapted better than others and were generally pretty good in making even more money.

I do agree: lots of people loose in this crisis. But we are probably in fact living in times of super inflation; the EU has for the first time ever taken debt; US and China race for debt.

All you can do (I feel): is watch and be taken for a ride. The gap between rich and poor will grow, so will the gap between “fast adapters” and “the good old industries”.

It may sound harsh: but the economy in the US probably doesn’t really care about those that lost the most and were the most vulnerable.

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy may be the book we all should be reading (again) these days...
The relevant variable here isn't the headline 52%, but the fraction of young people who lived independently but have recently stopped, which is (52 - 47) / (100 - 47) = 9.4%. That's a big number, but I don't know that it's big enough to be the death of many cities - it seems plausible that those 9.4% could move back out over the next few years for the same reasons they moved out in the first place. (And remember that young people living independently are only a part of a city's population.)

Of course, it's likely that this impact isn't going to be uniform, so that doesn't mean individual neighborhoods (or even individual cities) have no cause for concern.
This scratches a fairly specific itch I've had for quite a while now — portable DIY electronics. At the moment, even if you use something as Lego-like as Adafruit's boards [1], you still need your primary logic board, a separate module to handling charging, a battery pack, a case that holds all of the above in place neatly, and more. Personally I don't find the keyboard to be a very attractive feature of Precursor, but all the rest of this project is super exciting and I can't wait to see them deliver on it.

Since my last patch (bugfix, one line) has been open for at least 4 months without activity I'm not sure how feasible it would be to land a new feature and have it releases in Firefox stable in ~3 months.
I’ve heard another take that Spotify ownership allows them to play almost any music because JRE inherits Spotify’s license to play it.

Also this is a licensing deal for a set period. Ownership of JRE itself doesn’t change and after the three years the contract as written is over.
I think I'm in general agreement with you. I spent quite a while trying out different note taking apps. Super simple ones like iA and Bear, over to things like org mode. Eventually I just settled on pencil and paper and I've been really happy with that for a few years now.

If I need to write something to stash, as you say, it's usually for other people as well when at work. There I have no choice, it's either the wiki or a google doc and I'll polish up my hand written notes and diagrams. On the rare occasion I want to write something to keep for myself it'll either be some sort of markdown document on my drive, or a draft post on my blog if it 's more general musings. Usually I'll hand write notes in a meeting, that way I can leave the laptop at my desk (pre-covid), and then I'll write up a more coherent document later on if needed.

Pencil and paper is just great, I can do whatever I want, I can rub it out and start again, and the semi-permanance makes me care slightly less about it being perfect. I can't move the notes onto another page unless I re-write them, so sometimes I do if I really need to and otherwise I just move on.

I did end up spending out on some pencils that feel nice to use, but it's a tiny expense compared to subscriptions for many of the note apps out there.
I didn't say it was the only criteria, just that it is one.
Attitudes like yours are why tech recruiters are notoriously inconsiderate and difficult to work with. It’s not a good look and not something to be proud of.
As a official member of the "old fart" society I have a memory of something from 50ish years ago, probably in Time magazine, that documented the fact the US military found cases of rickets associated with low vitamin D levels in personnel stationed at the DEW (Distant Early Warning) line, a group of radar stations in the high arctic. The cases were among people with darker skin. So there's some old evidence correlating Vitamin D, skin shade and sunlight exposure.

I hope that the church will change with the times, similar to the way their practices and beliefs with respect to racism have changed since the 60s [1].

However, I wouldn't take the pope's words as a sign of that change. I have friends who are gay or lesbian and formerly part of the catholic church. When he says that god loves them, I assume it is in the sense that god loves everyone, even sinners. From what I understand, gay people are seen kind of like drug addicts by the church. People who are worthy of pitty, but are still considered "sick".

Being told that you are sick from your earliest memories because of who you are attracted to, something you don't have control over, leaves lasting scars on a person. All of my gay friends who left catholicism grew up killing that part of themselves and pretending to be someone they are not for like the first two decades of their life. The rest of their life has been spent trying to rebuild themselves from that. From literally being taught to hate themselves for what they are.

The one friend I have who did come out as a teenager was dissowned by her parents and had to move in with a relative. She spent two years living out of a cousin's house and people like her who are less fortunate are out there without a home right now for the crime of being gay.

I really hope that the church will adapt and recognize the real damage they are inflicting on children, but like I said, I'm not very optimistic.

Yes, I do think you're right about this generally, which is what I was getting at at the end.

This doesn't have to be all-or-nothing, though, if you check out matklad's post I linked, he points to a version where the standard library still gets to use unstable features, but the compiler does not, which is an interesting hybrid that may retain the best of both.
You want to be able to have the trust chain all the way to a well known "good" version. As rustc uses nightly features, the only (reliable) way to get the current version without breaking the chain is to compile every version with the prior version. This can be thought of as an "academic" problem, but some OS vendors do insist on doing this and it is annoying and time consuming.

Writing a compiler on its own language has a bunch of benefits.

Early on, it let's both evolve in tandem, even before you know what the language itself might be. Having real world experience in a complex enough codebase for the language will inform some design decisions. Things that are hard to do might get ergonomic work poured into, sharp edges tapered. Things that are too hard to implement or that might cause exponential evaluation might be redesigned to allow for a linear algorithm.

Later, having the compiler written in its language is beneficial for contributors: people that use the language can jump in and help with the development of the compiler. This has the caveat if any large codebase, but it certainly was my case. I would go as far as saying that I really learned Rust through my rustc contributions. (BTW, doing that has the nice benefit of fixing your mental models if the language to actually match reality, instead of some approximation based on the documentation and observed behavior.)

Finally, setting the debugging scaffolding in place will be made a priority in order to debug the compiler, so even early users of the language will benefit of some tooling in that area, however crude it might be at the start.
The traits section seems to be more a problem of the author seeing object and classes instead. Calling them traits and not classes should have been enough, IMO, to dispel that, but it is a common mistake so fair enough. You should think of them, as the compiler devs do, as Prolog code interpreted at compile time.

Traits are sets. “Impl” means a type, or any type described by the constraints, is in that set.

trait A {}
struct S;
impl A for S {} // S is in A
impl<T> A for Vec<T> where T: A {} // Vecs of A are also in A

Type constraints are a way to use those sets to specify which types are allowed in which places. The compiler then tries to prove that the types you do use are in fact in the sets you say they have to be in.

That’s it.
They probably have a standard period to wait. Is this significantly longer than what other people have encountered?

Thanks for that quote, an interesting idea to chew on. Another I’ve heard is ‘always assume you’re in a bull market until proven otherwise’.

Yes. Suggestions are good. Following suggestions with purpose is better. Or, rather, blindly following suggestions without understanding the benefits (and costs to) the suggestions doesn't seem ideal to me.
-- It respects the great answer of "it depends".

Gonna admit that I wouldn't be able to tell what grep -i, sed -e do. (I would've used `sed -e` before, but not enough to remember that). Still, some things are clear from context.
The lack of a language spec hurts, but it's gotten better. E.g. there used to be no formal rules about what was OK to do in an unsafe block. There was a general idea that you shouldn't use different mutable references to the same thing at the same time, but in practice it was hard to tell what that really meant. Then they came up with Stacked Borrows, which is a formal specification for exactly that problem. Miri can even interpret your program and dynamically check that you don't violate Stacked Borrows.

The Go language spec is really awesome, but the core language is so much simpler, so it was probably a lot easier to come up with. E.g. if the spec included every detail about escape analysis, pragmas, assembly, and cgo, it would be significantly longer and more difficult to maintain.
I think their point was that increasing CO2 in atmosphere makes it more difficult to keep indoor levels acceptable.

First, if you start from 600pm instead of 300, you reach 1000 ppm faster. Adding to the insult, it is much more difficult to ventilate the excess CO2 away, if the air you use to ventilate contains in itself already 600ppm instead of 300ppm.
Is there a law in the US that forces a doctor to perform an abortion or a nurse to participate? Aside from one that says that your employer can ask you to fulfill the terms of your contract or lose your job? It seems that the vast majority of laws limiting physician freedom are being proposed or passed to prevent them from performing abortions, counseling patients about abortion, or discuss guns in the household.
> Facts can’t be racist.

As long as they actually are facts, then yes this is true.

However, the presentation and choice of which facts to use can be racist, I'm sure you'll agree with me on that.
Thanks for trying out. yes you are right. Tips are not upto the mark. Our algo tries to put a site in 8 buckets -b,..+A and provides tips. So it's not that accurate when evaluating 50% versus 53% but mostly accurate with difference of over 10%.. so 50% won't be same as 60% for example.. of course it is based on limited amount of data we had to guess it..point taken.. we really appreciate your feedback and will incorporate.. cool.
Retro AND vintage!
Yep, the two major parties are "center-right" and "far-right" politically. There are some leftists but they aren't represented, and because of the two-party system they won't be. Two parties ~= one party.
Aha, I took their marketing at face value. I never learn... :(
It actually has a lot given that they are saying IF CO2 levels goes up to a certain level at the end of the century. They are using that graph as one of the reasons for why it's likely to go up.

This is their conclusion

"We conclude that indoor CO2 levels may indeed reach levels harmful to cognition by the end of this century, and the best way to prevent this hidden consequence of climate change is to reduce fossil fuel emissions. Finally, we offer recommendations for a broad, interdisciplinary approach to improving such understanding and prediction."

That's a big if especially since one of the reasons they believe it might increase to those levels is exactly this mix of averaged measurements and year over year.

Keep in mind the IPCC models range for nothing to worry about to the world is going under.

With regards to the CO2 levels having an impact on our cognitive abilities at the end of the century thats also a lot of speculation and a lot of assumptions.

This is not science this is speculation. Interesting but so filled with assumptions and guesses and speculation about what might happen in 2100.

And if that wasn't enough they just straight out claim the have the solution which is hindering fossil fuel.

This is just activism put into research format from what I can see.
How do you get the data into your Vue code?

You don't have to refactor much I think. You can inject the data into global scope in your PHP template, before you include React script. I'd do something like `window.__PAGE_DATA__ = "<?php echo json_encode($data) ?>";`.

Then, in your React code you'll be able to access it in a pretty idiomatic way for React. Instead of calling `fetch` or something similar, you'll have to call `JSON.parse(window.__PAGE_DATA__)`. You have to use `try`/`catch` block around it as well to handle errors from JSON parsing - just like you have to have the same block around `await` calls. You can treat the data as immutable to a degree as well - accidental local property updates will not get to the global scope, you'll have to set the property in `window` object.

I've used React in a few projects, embedding it into a Wordpress website using this approach. Seems to work well for me, but YMMV.
I remember all those things, it's why I mentioned Linus as someone worth listening to but who nevertheless might too quick to dismiss VLIW now.

Anyway, there are a couple of efforts which include VLIW tech which are in currently in the development pipeline now. So maybe in the next few years we will see some interesting things with it.
Note taking by hand implies making your hand draw the right shapes in the right sequence (& "verifying" them by reading) so in effect more of your brain in involved in actual processing. This may have a larger effect than reframing in your own words? [Speculation as I rarely took notes. Even the process of note taking distracted me!]
Like, chip design or like robots?
I have easily read more than a dozen articles over the years on this parsing strategy, including Pratt's original paper, and in every case I have read "donation." But you are 100% right! All of my sources actually use denotation. MY MIND IS FREAKING BLOWN.

I am going to go meditate on the subjectivity of my reality. If I am wrong about this, what else am I wrong about?
The evidence for multiple waves of human migration out of Africa is looking more and more likely.

It’s been ignored primarily due to the political, philosophical, perhaps even meta philosophical reasons. As the implication is that significant genomic differences existed within and between the early human populations. And so whether all of them qualify as “human”.

The same reason why it took so long for some people to have significant Neanderthal ancestry to become accepted fact.
The average percentage of Neanderthal ancestry seems to increase as you move eastwards to East Asia.
I really love John's presentations. His candidness and passion make his talks not only compelling, but also entertaining.
> I prefer the latter - we should be adding efficiency to the state, while giving people more choice on how to help each other.

Agreed. The state has become much too inefficient. Sadly, much of that is the state’s own doing by continuously adding layers of bureaucracy and complexity. Many of the problems could be solved with technology at scale. We could use software to measure government like we measure every other business process.

We can and must enforce checks and balances.
When I was a kid there was a local radio station that would play all kinds of old radio programs. I fell asleep every night for years listening to them. They would play War of the Worlds on Halloween. I feel lucky to have stumbled on old radio as kid.
It depends on your goals, and yes, I do agree that life is too short to read everything. But if you don't have the time to fully digest what's written, you also don't have the time to trash talk it, in my humble opinion. That's what I mean by "deciding if it's terrible or not," that is, I see a personal distinction between "did not pique my interest enough to bother" and "this is actively bad." You have to actually read the whole thing to make the latter determination, IMHO.
New grad who spent 6 months applying for jobs everyday checking in. I got rejected/never heard from 120+ companies. Of those probably 25 I spent time actually writing a cover letter and tailoring my resume to. Finally got a job at an amazing company for good compensation and I love my job!

> This a million times. I'm speaking broadly as I'm not from the US, however this applies pretty much to every country: "People are not their government" should be always considered when criticizing any nation or being criticized by others because of government politics.

Disagreed completely.

In a democracy, people are responsible for their governments. That's the whole idea of democracy. If you can pick your leadership you are responsible for who you pick and every single action they take. You get the credit for the good, and you get the blame for the bad. With great power comes great responsibility and whatnot.

In an autocracy where people cannot choose their leadership, it's more murky.

[edit] It's so weird to see this American blame shirking from the ground floor all the way to the president. "Well, I'm not responsible for the government just because I pick them," to staying home on Election Day and responding "well he's not my president," to POTUS' perennial "well, Obama and Hillary are really at fault."

Is nobody taking responsibility for anything anymore?
The reason energy use is a problem is the electricity production.
