So I went through the whole Duolingo tree for Portuguese and thought it was high quality and got me good a foundation. As others noted, there is no substitute for actual conversation/interaction with native speakers, and I wish I started that sooner. I also second the recommendation of using something like Anki or Quizlet for vocabulary practice. I only noted that it's good to have a base before starting with professional teachers because if you're budget isn't unlimited, you might not get the bang for your buck having teachers walk you through the most basic stuff like hello/how are you/how much does that cost/etc. that you can get with Duoloingo/Rosetta Stone or similar programs. But if you want to start off with Italki and lessons on day 1 with native speakers, it certainly won't hurt!
Just before the 2016 election, we issued an internal memo that political and/or religious conversations were not appropriate.

Not a RULE, but guidance that it can be divisive and that folks should concentrate on work during work hours, whilst physically at work.

One person quit as a result - and, frankly, everyone was relieved. She was a hateful person that wouldn't shut up about her politics.

I agree - it's crazy that this is controversial. We are a much stronger and more unified company as a result of this policy.
To add to the others' responses on the purposes of ports, many of them are essentially vacuum pumps to maintain the near-perfect vacuum required for fusion to work.
The OP delay loop is for MCU/Arduino where embedded devs typically have all control of the PLLs and know exact CPU timings. You can see that the other part of the bootloader example fixes all related clocks manually. [1]

These MCUs are designed for hard realtime systems so the silicon design is required to have all timings well-known in the datasheets and required to be deterministic. The core (Cortex-M0) design removes nondeterministic aspects of the CPU so there are neither caches nor branch predictions in it. So the busy loops have deterministic timings.

Of course it won't be trivial in MPU/Linux spaces as you mention.

Lots of programming practices are quite different between MPU and MCU worlds. I personally find it interesting that many people are talking about MPU/Linux/x86 here. It's good to learn about them :)

Matrix stands to be an excellent, open-source alternative.
> The view you just described is active support for the status quo.

I hear this all the time but I cannot for the life of me figure out why it is "active support" isn't it at most passive support? If you were actively supporting it, you'd be taking political actions and therefore not being apolitical?

There are a number of full-3D designs in the works today. The challenge has been thermal dissipation, and as long as it's not logic-on-logic, it works. So that becomes a placement challenge, and EDA tools are still catching up. But there are some interesting new approaches out there, too. TSMC has figured out a way to stack chiplets inside a chip. So rather than going up, it's going down. They say that approach solves the thermal issues because the silicon acts as a heat sink. Here's a story that explains it: https://semiengineering.com/momentum-builds-for-advanced-pac... (Scroll down to the SoIC stuff under TSMC). The front-end packaging is new, meaning it's done at the front end of the manufacturing process. More work is being done the traditional way, too, whether it's pillars rising up off a substrate, or die on die (or die on die on die).
One reason Apple laptops are popular is that people, on average, like both the laptops and the service they get from Apple.

Ideas as a Service?
What do you think about such kind of a service
User choose how much idea he/she want to recieve everyday, pay for that amount, enter necessary information, like other companies names,own website, maybe few other and that's all. Everyday new ideas
That's what I do. It'll sync with my phone locally over bluetooth once I'm back in range, but that's it.
Very similar to this idea, simply using ‘irb’ for one-off data munging and simple automations is very handy. That’s one of my go to tools when I am not sure exactly what I want to do with the data, and being able to poke at the intermediate steps as I transform it is handy. If I then come up with a pipeline that is useful, it only takes a minute to copy paste what I figured out in IRB to a file and save it as an executable script for future use.
Ironically Gitter moving to Matrix probably makes this more likely - as integrating Matrix into GitLab would be much more sensible than integrating a single opinionated client like Gitter, given if GitLab properly spoke Matrix for chatops, it'd then be available to anyone in Matrix (Gitter, Element, or any platform bridged into Matrix - Slack, Discord, etc)
The argument they're making here is a little subtle, but it tracks.

They're not claiming Google will hand out a user's biometrics to insurance companies or other parties. They're claiming Google will offer biometrically-based signal as an ad discrimination channel.

At that point, they don't have to hand out the data to allow insurance companies to discriminate; insurance companies could set up targeted ads for Cadillac insurance programs on users having XYZ biometrics and those ads only run for users that are showing they're low health risks. So it's soft market discrimination; only the extra-healthy get explicitly told about new insurance plan A, and the self-select group signs up, possibly making A cheaper for the insurer to implement even if they don't do any additional screening.

I think the theory has holes, but it's not nonsense. And it's unclear to me that it demands government regulation (but my bias is American-style law; I don't know how European legal eyes see the story I just laid out).
> I don't think the BLM movement is "in power". That seems woefully misinformed.

Then why aren't their webpages being taken down while pages from some of the opposite sides are? So to me it is pretty obvious that people supporting BLM have more power than the people supporting white nationalism.

> Moreover, BLM and such movements aim to overcome white privilege to enable the equal treatment of colored people. I can see why this may feel aggressive to a white person, and your argument about sides confirms that.

I don't even live in the US, nothing the BLM movement does affects me. I do know that Trump made it an official terrorist organization though, so it would be fairly easy to argue for takedown of their sites if you don't like them.

> The efficient market theorem can be untrue without elections necessarily being better at determining efficiency.

Can you go into more detail on how that could be for me? If the EMH is untrue, then there must be some other mechanism besides competition that checks the private sector, no? What would that be?

I'm implicitly lumping "regulation" as part of the Elections mechanism, btw, so I'm assuming you didn't mean regulation as the mechanism.
There is no contradiction in both believing that humans only form one single race, and also that some humans oppress other humans based on erroneous beliefs about skin color and heritage. The important part is to simultaneously understand that this oppression is occurring while also understanding the the oppression is scientifically incoherent.

Similarly, there is no contradiction in both believing that humans should have universal healthcare without restrictions based on genitals or pre-existing conditions, and also that sex chromosomes are used as a societal excuse for genital mutilation, sexual assault, harrassment and discrimination, etc. Again, the oppression both happens and makes no scientific sense, and there is nothing logically wrong with this stance.

I'm blind to race and sex -- I don't inherently weigh the value of people by their skin color or genitals. I'm not blind to race and sex -- I know that racists and sexists exist, and I antagonize them in order to reduce their effects in society. The conclusion is that the idea of being blind to social constructions is a bit of a rhetorical gimmick!
To be clear, there are about ~15,000 objects (active + debris) in orbit ranging from small debris chunks to active spacecraft.

Starlink alone is expected to add ~30,000 active satellites with relatively large solar panels/bodies, which by virtue of their area alone can be expected to be more visible from the Earth than most of the small objects that are currently tracked.

Infact, if all your economic projections are based on continued growth, both in production and consumption, were going to need more people in this country. The process and the legality aside, the only ways to increase GDP growth is to create more efficient workers or increase the number of workers. The other option is a deep, self inflicted, down turn like Japan had for 20 years.

There's room for lots of people and there's going to b a need for more people in this country as the boomers finally retire in their 80s.

We went with OT five years ago in CKEditor 5 and we have the same experience. While it would be tempting to try CRDT, it seems to come with too significant tradeoffs in our scenario.

My colleague wrote down our thoughts in https://ckeditor.com/blog/Lessons-learned-from-creating-a-ri....

The other aspect of CRDT that's in some scary is what @mdpye explains in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24621113. With OT, if we get the corner cases right, we can tune and extend the implementation. With CRDT that might be game over.
The trending/popular domains list is interesting [0]. Since Cloudflare effectively serves as part of the backbone for so many sites and services, I'm assuming their ranking is more able to count usage of sites that are mostly accessed by smartphone app, e.g. Tiktok #3, Facebook #4. Unlike Comscore [1], which seems to overly represent media sites.

Too bad Radar omits pornography sites, I was curious whether they'd actually be among the top sites. FWIW, SimilarWeb [2] (which has Tiktok at #46), does include porn sites (xvideos and pornhub are #8 and #9, respectively).

Though I don't quite understand how mozilla.org could rank as #10 on Radar's sites, just below Instagram and above Youtube, Whatsapp, and Twitter.

edit: It's also interesting to compare its Top Browser rankings with analytics.usa.gov [3]. It appears that Radar's measured users are significantly more on Chrome – 55% (desktop+mobile) vs 47.6% on usa.gov sites; whereas usa.gov users are significantly more on Safari (iOS+desktop): 35.2% vs 13% on Radar. I suppose this reflects the assumption that iOS has a bigger proportion of U.S. users than it does worldwide users.

It is acceptable for a country to have borders and place conditions on who is allowed to cross them.
One of the tradeoffs in modern state of the art VSAT modems is that you can intentionally choose more computationally 'expensive' FEC, to slightly improve your bps/Hz in a given fixed kHz/MHz amount of FDD transponder capacity, at the expense of higher latency. With the Comtech CDM-760 for instance.

This is getting better as the years go on and modem manufacturers are able to throw additional CPU and FPGA resources at FEC processing, without increasing their cost to build a modem a great deal.
>In the end the only thing which worked was to book an identical itinerary, same day of the week and times, just one week early

My own booking problem and later "hack" is as follows: I think one mistake I made was to book my connecting flight (wiht another airline) within a few hours of my arrival time. In this kind of scenario, if airline A or B changes the flight time or cancels, then it messes up my flight with the other airline. Which means, in Covid times, it seems best to stay a day or two in the layover city rather than try to make everything line up before any flights have taken place.

>implying that the only "real" flight out only runs once a week

To try to figure out real flight likelihood, I had to piece together ever-changing gov't regulations about who can fly where, in regards to quarantines, with how the airlines might be responding to that news in their flight scheduling. And on top of that, pretend to book flights to figure out how full they are, then continuing to do this every other day even after my flight is booked, to get a gauge on how likely cancellation is.
Why compare sweden only to it's neighbors?

Because to fairly assess the impact of policy, you have to control for underlying genetic, economic, and environmental factors. The best way to do that in this case is to compare Sweden with its Nordic neighbors.
That's one way to see it. But it seems the general trend is that every company needs to be political on every issue.

I have encountered two compiler bugs in my (almost) 40 year career.

In about 1988, a bug in Apple's MPW Pascal compiler. I refused to believe it was a compiler bug, until I finally inspected the generated code. IMO the only way to be taken seriously about a compiler bug is to distill the defective compiler behavior down to a short (like one page) example. Also helpful is to show the generated code and how it is wrong. Bug was acknowledged and fixed.

In the mid 1990s, dabbling with C++ on (classic) Mac, I upgraded to a (name brand withheld) version 8.0 C++ compiler. The generated code behavior was obviously wrong. To make matters worse, it was possible to crash the compiler. The number of problems with that compiler were so bad that I simply ditched that compiler, and it didn't last much longer commercially. Sad, because its predecessor compilers (mostly C and Pascal) had been very good.
A 600kbit BGAN is a little larger than a laptop, and is self contained (including a battery), with built in wifi and/or an ethernet cable. Set up in a minute or two if you know where to point it (the program on the laptop will help with that, then the beeps)

But yes, you're talking $3 a megabyte on that.

Starlink's actual usuable bandwidth and cost is still a question, but if it does turn out to be an order of magnitude cheaper and faster than a bgan it will be revolutionary. I'm glad I don't own shares in companies like Inmarsat.

(And that's without the massive improvement in latency - a bgan in background mode is typically a 1000-1200ms RTT. In the per-minute guarenteed mode it's 600ms)

> Since you consider everything to be political, then everything is politics and there is no discussion without it. It's a tautological inevitability.

but that's kind of the point. Pretty much any human discussion (or interaction for that matter) _can_ be viewed through a political lens by someone.

Thus by declaring to forbid political discussion, you are just declaring a blanket right to ban any discussions that inconvenience you by judging them political.

While reading the blog article, I kept wondering what the performance was like compared to bare metal?

I guess the performance hit is similar to the one C and Rust take? In the order of 10x slower IIRC? How does a Fortran-written (better optimized) library compare to a C-written one? Is the WASM overhead enough to nullify the performance difference? Are the original optimizations well translated to WASM?
> Just like in languages like C++ you cannot force stack allocation/global memory segments, which is the only way to make RAII work.

Could you explain a bit more about what you mean here? To me, RAII is about how the constructor is written, and stack allocation/global memory segments are about where the object is created. I don't see any connection between the two.

For example, if I have a class with a custom allocator that allocates from its own arena, I can still do RAII on the members of objects of that class... can't I?

Are you seriously equating deporting someone to the holocaust?
More specifically, they build data analysis and CRUD apps on top of a ton of ETL for large clients. They skew towards government contracts, and probably due to their founder have a different view on what's morally acceptable.

I guess the reason why they're involved in this is that the mechanics of deporting someone is a non-trivial data workflow through a bunch of crappy legacy systems, and given they've already got the ETL set up to get the data out, they can create a quick CRUD interface, or use data analysis to find suitable targets. That, plus the fact the company culturally agrees with the deportations, make it a reasonable business for them.

In many ways it's the same role as IBM played in the holocaust. These abhorrent operations are huge logistical undertakings, and that requires investment in tech that governments often aren't able to achieve.

Culture comes from the top, I don't think anyone at Palantir can be surprised that this is the result when Thiel is their leader.
My sister's husband is a software engineer at a bank, and the health insurance plan they use specifies that men can have their wife covered under the plan, rather than a gender-neutral spouse and it doesn't count civil unions. Now this has worked out fine for them, but the choice for the bank to use this healthcare plan means that same-sex couples don't have equal access. So just existing as a gay person can be political.

> I was working under the assumption that cheerleaders were just a bunch of teenage girls doing dancing at a sports game.

That's part of what they do. The other part is competing on a high level based on the athleticism and (I'm guessing) choreography of a given teams presentation. Similar to gymnastics but usually with a team and different genre of music.

There was an article posted recently to HN titled "Cheerleading, Monopolies and Sexual Predators" that gives some details about just how competitive cheerleading is, as well as the problems to the safety and security of its participants due to the monopoly power of a single company.

What about the poor people in the US, whose hourly rate is lower because of the flow of illegal immigrants? Aren’t the poor in the US disproportionately minority?

Yes, there is a downside of having a large “talent” pool of unskilled labor. If you’re a high school dropout, US citizen, you’re competing with this “talent” for handyman jobs, landscaping, house cleaning, etc.

Sure, it’s great to have cheap landscaping, but before you dismantle ICE, go speak with a US citizen who’s doing roofing, and ask if their income would be higher without the illegal immigrants.

For what it is worth, your friend would be in addition to most modern artists. Chvrches' first album was mostly OP1, Death Cab used it heavily on their latest, The national made aggressive use, TS's Folklore is layered with it everywhere and It was used in Billy Ellish's latest works too. the OP1 is basically standard equipment for most modern bedroom to indie producers.
In my opinion it would be great to have a single language for developer productivity. Backend and frontend can be already written fully in TypeScript and you can share interfaces between frontend and backend so everything is connected and business logic is not repeated. Same thing could be done for machine learning.

If backend changes frontend has to change as well or compiler will yell. Same for machine learning input and output.
