> I have mixed feelings on the F-15, and think it might have turned out better if it'd been a lighter fighter, as per Col. John Boyd's specification.

Can you go into who Boyd was, what was so important about the "specifications", and how the F-15 would have been better by following them (or is worse because didn't)?
Actually my language of choice has been used mostly as a Java replacement. And while there is no perfectly maintainable language, little else is remotely close to the awfulness of trying to maintain a Spring Boot application.

And if you dig in a little deeper, you realize that that's a bunch of social Darwinist bullshit perpetrated by those already rich who stand to gain the most from inequality - No different from the concept of nobility in centuries past.

Very telling are those "ands" and what's left out: "successful and capable (implied: rich)". "marginalised and useless (implied: poor)". Those traits don't go together automatically at all unless you use circular logic to define them in the first place.
> "Affirmative action is always bad. Because the people getting benefit of it are likely to be privileged."

But this is not what affirmative action is. The purpose of affirmative action is to help under-privileged people. If the help is going to privileged people instead, it's not affirmative action, it's corruption.

If it's really true, as you suggest, that some Dalit are rich and some Brahmin are poor, that some Dalit are privileged and some upper castes are not, then what does the caste system even mean? And why do people care enough that it's still a thing?
Our young children are being set in front of naked foreign men, told explicitly that this is "normal", their naive humiliation and degradation is being recorded and broadcasted, and anyone who isn't enthusiastic in their support of this will be labelled a bigot.

I generally find the only way anyone gets Google to respond to any service issue at this point is to be lucky enough that they can make it in to a tax issue so Google legal get involved or to utter (at least vaguely credibly) the magic word antitrust.

Otherwise Google effectively just bin any issues that a customer service team should fix.

Most knowledge isn't about replaying sentences. It is about influencing your sub-conscious decision making.

Sure, I don't recall any sentence of 'Thinking Fast and Slow', but every (ok, most) moment I'm aware of human biases that are in play.

That is the point of book reading, to accumulate sub-conscious knowledge(model of the world) and (near optimal) decision making
I am an independent developer living off 3 software products I created and sell. I have done all my own support over the last 15 years. While it can be frustrating (especially for B2C) it is also my superpower, as it gives me some much more insight into how I can improve my products. I only do support via email (not phone or chat).
Existing GAN based approaches excel at generating realistic samples, but seek to generate typical samples, rather than extreme samples. We propose ExGAN to generate realistic and extreme samples.

ExGAN allows the user to specify both the desired extremeness measure, as well as the desired extremeness probability they wish to sample at. Generating increasingly extreme examples can be done in constant time (with respect to the extremeness probability), as opposed to the exponential time required by the baseline.

Interesting read, but a growing trend in these apps is the overuse of animations, especially placing them in the sign up process and it gets in the way of the user's action. I want to sign up and use the app as fast as possible rather than wait for your slow animations and transitions to finish in order to show the "Next" button.

I don't mind about the easter eggs as long as they don't interfere in why I'm using the app, but overall it is 'well presented'.

For me, I get to run whatever I want instead of being limited to whatever mikrotik has implemented, eg CAKE QoS, Wireguard and dnscrypt-proxy. I also feel much more confident in the open source applications like dropbear and uhttpd than Mikrotiks proprietary implementations which have had numerous security flaws over the years.

Overfitting, and what to do about it
You haven’t seen it, because neither you nor anyone in your family has been affected. Your entire history education is probably misinformed if you attended a public school. Look up the “Lost Cause” version of events behind the Civil War.

The government and the MSM have been much worse than any private corporation with respect to misinformation with much more deadly consequences than any private corporation. I’m not referring to just “the liberal media”.
Well, if Airbus would be willing to build a few more plants they'd probably unleash a large amount of pent up demand and get more orders on the books.

I guess they're "successful enough" and don't feel tempted to potentially over-extend themselves.
They’re probably using it to express incredulity.

>I think it's bad if runs rampantly forever as eventually someone nefarious (which is more people than you might think) accumulates too much power and turns large swathes of society into a machine that benefits only them to everyone's detriment.

It's bad longe before it gets to that point, just less obvious.

> But at the same time it seems the pursuit of wealth engenders risk taking that brings about benefits for large swathes of society and turns society into a machine that constantly improves itself.

Putting a cap on inheritance would not impede that in the least. Quite the opposite: inequality prevents a lot of risk taking and improvement from happening.

> I like the game as it is, but perhaps a healthy modification would be to add a reset button where every couple of hundred years the slate is wiped clean and it all just starts again.

That doesn't sound healthy at all because it represents an unneccessarily huge disruption.
My rebuttal to the suggestion smart contracts somehow change everything is that smart contracts can't do due diligence on ability to repay in future, and only the sort of sucker that thinks Nexo looks like a legitimate operation would consider due diligence an unnecessary overhead to lending. Smart contracts can't make lending below the cost of capital a sustainable business model either. And whilst not all crypto is a Ponzi, 'yield farming' involving people being rewarded for propping up the value of a token by paying into its smart contract by printing even more of that token is pretty much the definition of a Ponzi. Even someone as heavily invested in smart contracts as Buterin acknowledges as much.
That is what I normally use. ccache is great! With a unity build its usefulness is a bit diminished, but it's still great for switching back and forth between branches.
This is a sign you're living in a bubble. If you're a high performer on a FB/G ad team, you're earning half a million dollars a year. Morals don't usually survive that amount of bribery.

These teams have thousands of employees.

Palantir has 2,500 employees. Obviously they have no trouble hiring. Facebook and Google have ad teams with tens of thousands of people. Juul managed to hire swathes of people, etc.
> continues to show why hardened hardware is needed, not just software, if you actually have secrets to protect

Right. But I tend to disagree against the premise, though: I generally tend to think that an attacker with hardware access will compromise that hardware sooner or later, and you should design your security measures around that assumption.

The only useful uses I see for this are:

* Giving your HW for somebody else to operate, while hoping that this person won't recover secrets from the inside.

* As a variant, locking customers out from using the HW with software it was not designed for, or extract the SW it came with.

I am most often on the receiving end of the second option, and do not have any sympathy for it. The first issue is a trust issue, and I would avoid those situations anyway. Another option is:

* Protect an unattended device against tampering

Which is a bit saner, but you probably shouldn't leave a sensitive device unattended anyway, as it can always bite you back. What is desperately needed is the hardware equivalent of a software checksum, to verify that the device conforms to specs.

It worked for me, and I got the warnings in German. My phone is all English. I remember clearly, because it threw me off in the beginning. I haven't received any this year, maybe it was a test?
Of course it's a matter of personal taste. But disclaimer, TFTD was indeed my first entry to the series. And yes, I hate the ship as well.

The atmosphere is absolutely terrifying. It really made me clutch for the life of my soldiers as if it was mine. It was unfair, but not without reason, as even today our submarine warfare would pale against T'Leth. So close yet so powerless.

The superb work on the graphics brings me deep into the abyss. Just look at how well the battle maps fade into the darkness. The various aliens are actually scary for once, and their shared past with the human species is realistic yet particularly disturbing. We all came from those same oceans, after all.

I already spoke about the music, but it really seals the deal.

I know this might sound it's all about the assets and the mood. But the game was already quite good, and TFTD gave that engine the content it deserved.

I will hazard a rough comparison – UFO Defense feels more like Starship Trooper, while TFTD is more like Alien. Intimate and downright scary.
Sorry, this is a terrible argument.

No one expects customer support people to write code. Why? Because they don't have the skillset.

Yet people who make this argument seem to think any moron can do support.

The skillset for an engineer is not a superset of a customer support person.

Have your engineers sit in on support, by all means, but actually making them DO support will result in unhappy engineers and sub-par support.

Do not undervalue a good support person. They have a whole suite of skills engineers often don't have.

I feel like expecting to remember all arguments and examples in a book is missing the point. You can only summarize it that way because you have already internalized all background knowledge, right? When you can reduce the core take-away from a book to a paragraph or something you assume a lot of context and pre-existing knowledge. An author can't exactly know what the knowledge-level and amount of surrounding facts the reader has available so these have to be provided to support the main point. You could of course provide only one example per point, but then it's sometimes hard to know if the reader takes away the 'right' conclusion from your example so if you provide multiply it's easier to get the through line of the provided examples.

When you have built up enough ground to place your main point into the readers brain, the supporting facts become less important to remember (barring one or two evocative examples) so they fade away, but you still have the meta knowledge of your brain having read and vetted the supporting arguments/examples, which you wouldn't have if the whole book was just the main point without all the surrounding detail.

I think past around 20Mbit or so the returns are diminishing. My flat has 400Mbit or so from Virgin, and although the WiFi is excellent (uncontended airwaves around here), actually availing of it requires you perched within reasonable proximity of the router, and pulling from a site with a large enough outbound pipe. On average it is probably fair to expect 8Mbit/s egress from any particular Internet site, with worst case much lower than that.

Probably the faster connection has some latency benefit, but on the whole I wouldn't factor "super fast Internet" into choosing my next place to live

60M Fewer Commuting Hours per Day:How Americans Use Time Saved by WFH
From the email: "When we launched the Chrome Web Store 11 years ago, there weren't a lot of ways for our developers to take payment from users. Today, there is a thriving ecosystem of payment providers offering a far more diverse set of features than a single provider could hope to. Now that our developers have so many great options to choose from, we can comfortably sunset our own payments integration."

My takeaway: Google products & services exist to fill a gap until there's sufficient other options. As options increase, expect Google to "comfortably sunset" their solutions.

You're no wrong, but the folks in South Carolina were (supposedly) specifically told not to try to get people from the PNW area to transfer because management didn't want union-leaning individuals coming into the new plant.

They seem to be explicitly preferring to sacrifice quality control to keep (higher-paid?) experienced union folks out. Presumably to help their bottom line.

If I was a Boeing customer I'm not sure I'd like seeing quality control being a secondary consideration of hundred of millions of dollars of my money.
I'm not sure what your definition of an IDE is, but the notion of a core platform with language-specific extensions on top long predates VSCode. Visual Studio proper works in exactly the same way, for one; and then there's Eclipse, NetBeans etc. If anything, this has been the conventional way to do IDEs since early 00s or so.
It would be poetically just if people who constantly lie lost the ability to discern the truth.

If someone has a slightly more rigorous justification for the notion I would be happy to hear it.

So.....no, because gamer press is ruthless :P We've had one graphical bug in one of our games(which I'm certain everyone on the internet has seen by this point), and in reality it was only happening if you played on one specific GeForce card, and only when using beta Nvidia drivers. But of course no one cared that the bug only happened when using experimental drivers - it was somehow a proof of how broken our games are. If this(the vulkan backend) lead to any graphical bugs in our games, I can almost guarantee that they would be paraded everywhere, no matter how clearly we mark it as experimental and unfinished.

> Furthermore why are they even worried about a modem when someone with malicious intent can just ground the cable or even send mains electricity into it and permanently damage all the equipment on the line?

At least as far as I know, cable-tv networks and devices are protected against both of these failure modes: grounding should trigger a fuse in the amplifier which means at worst it's one's own house that is cut off, sending mains on the line should not be problematic as overvoltage protection is present anywhere across the line because of lightning strike protection, and customer-side equipment should be capacitively coupled only.

Sending crap on intended frequencies that have no protection across the network however is a real problem.
