I'm sure that this will get buried or ignored as usual, but I find it very strange that no one evens discusses the possibility of using decentralized technologies to create public marketplaces in cases such as this.

This seems to be a good opportunity for cryptocurrency and something like a distributed database or content-oriented networking with indexing. Such as for example Ether and OrbitDB.
I'm not meaning by my comment to say that every person in the world is fully informed. However this knowledge about multicore scaling is starting to trickle through the community. It is only in the last few years it has started to be valuable to have more cores for AAA action games, so it is understandable to have outdated knowledge.
The chinese internet is closed, not their entire market. Even if the internet was open, imho it would be a hard market to dominate as there is a cultural gap that is not easy to fill

Meanwhile, europe and china have great trade relationships in just about everything, china invests in europe (especially in european countries that cant find investment elsewhere) and europeans invest in china.

I have increasingly the impression that China is a security threat to the US, but its not seen as such in europe.
Yes, if there is a shortage of young labor then young labor can simply demand higher wages.
Only New Zealand, Taiwan, Vietnam, and maybe a couple other countries are actively avoiding herd immunity. Regardless of their public statements, other countries aren't actually trying to minimize the number of sick and dead. The public health measures in place are generally insufficient to contain the pandemic, so I predict that many areas will reach a significant level of herd immunity before a safe and effective vaccine is widely available. We won't know whether that prediction is accurate until about a year from now.
Also missing is Ada from that same lineage, the entire category of concatenative languages (with Forth the best known example), COBOL, SNOBOL/Icon, BASIC, APL, PHP, Racket, etc. It's laughably incomplete, not a history at all, and "opinionated" is a severe understatement. Was not at all surprised to see that the author's still a student specializing in Coq and similar things. Experience building actual complex systems whose users aren't computer scientists might have led to a broader perspective and a very different set of opinions.
Gatekeeper has been around for 10 years and every year people have predicted you couldn't install software outside of the app store. It never came by. As a development machine, it just wouldn't work.

I’ve tried many things (sticking to a routine, creating a plan, creating an accountability system) but at the end of the day:

1. Getting into flow state on a conscious level implies that you are already there on a subconscious one.

2. Practically speaking to get into flow you need two components: Passion (you have to be driven by whatever it is you’re going to; “because I have to” won’t cut it. It won’t click.) and discipline (basically keeping temptations under control.)

It demonstrates a method of generating a family of types or functions that, until C++17, would have required Template Metaprogramming via partial specialization or template function overloading, but is now just programming.

The key line is "if constexpr", which is evaluated at compile time and terminates the recursion.

It would seem some espresso do have the same caffeine as a can of coke, some even clock in less, but ya on average it seems to have about double the amount.

That said, most coffee shop serve double espressos as standard, so if you factor that in, it seems on average your cup of cappuccino might have four time the caffeine than a can of coke.
I think that's the most humbly I've ever heard him speak. His expressions of gratitude were clearly sincere. Didn't expect that.

He was just saying that it could all be "solved" by simply nuking the current repository and starting afresh from the current version of the code. They'd lose all history but they'd also have a clean slate and not have to deal with the errors of the past.
>They're there because popular packages like Babel, Webpack, ESLint and others chose to use NPM modules to organize themselves, instead of using function and classes like everything else.

You can't build anything without Babel for the most part since ES6 code needs it to transpile down to ES5.

The end result is JavaScript's entire ecosystem is a fragile mess.

That is almost 20 years past, many things have changed. Most importantly, the iPhone has happened. I am not claiming, that Apple completely takes over the PC market, just that the market share could considerably rise. Having the better processors and iPhone compatibility could do the trick.
Dunno if there’s one compatible with the Pi X model yet, but they do make a “SATA Hat” for the RockPi 4 that you can attach to the GPIO pins to add SATA ports: https://www.seeedstudio.com/Penta-SATA-HAT-for-Rock-Pi-4-p-4...
To the opposite, I have a rather good sense of color. It bothers me when designers make every icon the same color, because I distinguish colors much faster than shapes. (Much easier still than using an app that would tell me which shape it is, of course.)

I think the visual design should embrace both shapes and colors, and use color palettes that are discernible for people with different senses of color.

The objection is usually that the design must look "neat". I'd say that a visually neat but unusable design wastes all the effort that went to making it neat anyway. Being bold and even flamboyant in order to be highly visually discernible pays off most of the time; look at flowers.
It isn't very practical, as long as you don't worry about getting the virus from the outside in, which would be an unusual thing to worry about for home owners.

Those other languages are interesting today only insofar as they have affected currently important languages.

The exception is COBOL, which is still important in the way FORTRAN and Java are, but similarly will not affect future languages.

I got that. I was responding to someone saying speaking 2 languages correlates with wealth. I'm not sure how true that is as being bilingual is extremely common outside of the US.
One and two are basically hallmarks of western Liberalism, so this seems kind of contradictory. To my knowledge, the only historical Chinese government that we would consider Liberal is the current Taiwanese government, and even then that's a fairly recent development (30-ish years). It's not clear how the current regime could get there without wholesale changes in the power structure.

Wouldn't immigrants by nature have to be bilingual because they have to be able to communicate in the nation they immigrated to?
>So the net effect is that the device in the lab gets cooler and the object far away get hotter. So you have a flux of heat. But if the other object is hotter, you have a lux of heat from in the wrong direction, that is impossible according to the Second Law

I don't think your hypothesis would necessarily break the Second Law. Wouldn't the hotter distant object result in making Brownian motion around it? The same Brownian motion which would eventually end up as energy input at the graphene membrane - provided a thermodynamically closed system?

As so I'm not convinced this study breaks the Second Law, nor do I see how it produces useful work. To me it only seems so, because the system isn't being modeled as a closed system...

EDIT: Actually, I'm pretty sure the following statement is completely false:

>the graphene and circuit are at the same temperature and heat does not flow between the two.

I'd suspect heat does flow between the two, it's just outside their modeling of the system.
You'd then also have to give each dev a task representative of the kind of work they nah do on a daily basis.

I think you'd find probably people are good at what they spend time doing a lot and tend to brush off things they don't as not important.

In all honesty funding is given by institutions and people who evaluate the goal they spend there money on. So this sort of attention gathering, should be pre-filtered out by all serious sources of funding.

So what remains is a prestige, attention metric of the university.
I agree that money = popularity = trust is a risky system. Fraud and scams are high margin activities, so bad actors can end up with more money to spend than a lot of legitimate developers.

It's pretty ridiculous that we have real name policies for social networks, but the dev dependencies for a basic web app can have thousands of unnamed contributors. We really need a low friction system where individuals can start signing their code with verified identities.

If I pull in 1k dev dependencies via NPM, I should be able to get a list of the 1k developers that signed off on those packages. If no one is willing to step up and put their name on a package it shouldn't be used by major projects like React, Vue, etc. IMO.

Ok, dumb idea time: suppose that everyone in an office sits on a chair that raises their body to X volts. At the same time a collector mesh is provided at each desk, at -X volts, but shielded so that you can't touch it and shock yourself.

What X is large enough to ensure that all the virus particles you cough out end up at the collector? Is it possible to do this without electrocuting everyone?

Healthcare providers can only ethically disclose patient records if authorized by the patient himself (or someone legally authorized to act on the patient's behalf). There is nothing in the code of medical ethics which prohibits doing paperwork or dealing with insurance billing.

This doesn't automatically invalidate things like healthcare, consumer rights and protections, environmental protections, free/affordable education, etc that are strong in Europe and people generally care about (to varying degrees though). There are no perfect countries, and you could argue e.g. New Zealand is setting the standard pretty high nowadays. But it isn't like those ideas aren't in some way useful - not just to Europeans, but also for other countries to cherry-pick or iterate on.

Anyway, pretty off topic, but the argument bad things = everything is tainted doesn't hold for me, especially since people born after the 1960s now includes 50 year-olds and below

It's important to remember that your immune system is improved by coming in contact with common viruses. This is even more important for kids.

Your mixing up your statistics. Perfect random sampling of a normal distribution means you can sample 27 times and your statistical analysis is close to that of the entire population.

It's highly dependent on the magnitude of the effect (when comparing two populations) and the distribution across a population.

For something dementia, where even measuring the level of cognitive decline is highly subjective, no way N=27 would be enough.

It seems really out of touch to simultaneously acknowledge the struggling poor while also demonizing a practice that allows them to be showered in free services despite their poverty. People have bigger issues than digital privacy and frankly if the American approach is so lucrative then Indian app developers will gravitate towards American practices anyway. Who knows though, maybe the EU will finally come back from their their lunch breaks and show the world an even better (in the real way) monetization model.
From what you describe it sounds like Tacitus was dehumanizing the Germanic people for not being as metropolitan as Romans, not talking about fires. Tacitus also wrote of the Great Fire of Rome, so it would be weird for him to argue that fires were an argument for urbanization. His perspective was not ours, in his era cities sometimes turned into infernos. Something only the quite elderly have experienced in our era.
A couple possible reasons I can think of:

-If the person gets sicker later, you don't have to wait on another test to know the diagnosis and start treatment.

-Second is from a contact tracing perspective and isolation perspective. If this person is positive, it is that much more important that they limit contact with people.

-Third is if you are positive you can donate your plasma which *may help others (good randomized controlled trials for convalescent plasma are still pending).

-If you are positive you make not need the vaccine later, it also could reduce your risk potentially for being infected later, less stress.

-Also helps population wide to know total number of infected to get an idea of rate of spread, herd immunity, other metrics.

The title has been editorialized unfortunately. The page uses Actively speaking two languages protects against cognitive impairment which is an important summary of the paper: everyone in the study is basically bilingual, but the bilingual composite score (how bilingual you are / how much you actively speak and switch languages) is suggested as a precursor of delayed cognitive decline.

The title of the original paper is Active bilingualism delays the onset of mild cognitive impairment which is also clear, if a little stilted as a headline.

When I receive bug reports, I usually review it and tag it but won't come back to it until I have time. I won't bother spending time on fixing it if it's not something I'm actively using. If someone submits a PR with a fix then that's great and I'll most likely merge it in if there's no objections and tests still pass. I don't perceive the submissions as if the person thinks they're entitled to getting it fixed since majority of the time they're nice about it or they never come back to check on the status. When I submit bug reports and PRs to other projects, I have no expectations that it'll be fixed or merged since I understand what it's like to be on both ends.

...you cannot build a residential building within 1km of a tree line.

I agree but this sort of jumps to heart of things. What do you do with the many, many houses already there? Not just houses but people, people with considerable political influence, along with the industries that build this sort of house and everything depending on that? I mean, this is so thorny a problem that I expect nothing with come of the sensible solution and we're just going to have "fires as far as the eye can see" here in California.
these explanations are also judged with the aforementioned assumptions in the background. science absolutely presupposes that there is an objective reality governed by natural laws that are uniform throughout the observable universe, which is why experiments are constructed in a way to falsify specific hypothetical versions of those laws.

for example, if the laws were not uniform then astrophysicists would have no basis for assuming that the wavelengths of light emitted by a star is evidence for the composition of that star.

A vaccine is unlikely to wipe out the virus for good. They just aren't that effective. We can't wipe out other coronaviruses or the common cold by vaccination even if we wanted to.

It will continue to circulate in the population, just in a less explosive manner. This also means it is possible we will never reach herd immunity in some absolute sense much like we haven't for other coronaviruses.
It's useless to say this without evidence.

If this is meant to be any kind of history, that would seem to be grounds for inclusion. After all, Bourne Shell gets a spot, even though it's not actually a language and hasn't influenced any other language to any significant degree (unless you consider Tcl and even that's a big stretch). It seems like many things were included merely as excuses to express like or dislike, without any regard for historical importance or relevance. The fact that it favors C++ over alternatives might please some, but doesn't make it a good article.

Companies can benefit from using something like this too. It helps when all your people use the same tool to build and run models and just need to share yaml/json files. The alternative is each group has its own scripts and sharing is harder.

The simplicity of such tools has a tradeoff though. It takes away some of the flexibility. Also, actually writing code helps people learn about ML so there's benefit of doing the hard code when building ML models. But that's not the target audience of this project so that's OK.

Good luck!
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo_operation#In_programmin...:

- JavaScript is consistent with Java, PHP.

- Older C may behave as either Python or JavaScript.

- Modern C behaves like JavaScript.

So basically Python is the outlier here.
Quality is something that seems much more useful than perfection and grandiosity (to me at least), but I won't care about it more than necessary to get something done: if a desired reaction can be done with 80% concentration of the compounds… I wont strive for 99.9%, esp if the costs (time/money/etc) of achieving the latter are an order of magnitude higher unless it is needed (and rarely it is).
Not everyone is the same. I have heard of drug addicts who could only drop heroin by replacing it with massive amounts of highly-caffeinated energy drinks, in quantities that would be objectively bad for most regular folks.
What enabled the dictatorship was punishing people for perceived disloyalty and shooting people who tried to leave. Privacy was, at best, a weak defence against that, and arguably much of the Stasi's raison d'etre was to convince citizens their concerns about the government ought to stay private.

Better a Germany where people feel safe to share far more on social media than the Stasi could ever have collected, because they don't expect to suffer consequences from doing so.

Have you got a source for any of that? I imagine a lot of demographic factors could confound such a study, but I don’t see why multilingual people would be richer/healthier/more educated. In a lot of western countries, I’d imagine a huge amount of the multilingual population would be made of less well off immigrants.
Some googling suggests that about half the world population is bilingual. Certainly more than the rate in the US, but it's a bit of an exaggeration to imply that everyone in the world is bilingual except for the backwards Yanks.
