I'd hope not, that would be a completely wrong-headed decision by them as "Zwarte" isn't an uncommon surname/surname part, just like "Black" isn't uncommon in English-speaking countries.

Which of course doesn't preclude Facebook from making a completely wrong-headed decision.
So the argument is that the chance of having an error goes up exponentially as you add more qubits, 1:1 with the size of the problem state?

Well that's easy enough to understand, even though I have absolutely no idea if it's true or not.

Exactly. In the Dutch example, "de Zwart" in the middle of a sentence would be a misspelling of "de Zwarte", meaning "the Black".
Yup, the MIT is also my favourite license and I use it in all of my libraries. For products/websites that I might want to sell in some sort in the future, no. Well, maybe if it's a small "demo" project, but not generally.

This book is awesome, I didn't there was video lectures in the authors page.
Shameless user of nextmv here!

Nextmv has just the right level of abstraction needed for software engineers. Took us very little time to get a production model running.
A big part of this I think is due to "uncommon" TLDs. I had a joke "quiz" .website domain that was insta-blocked by Facebook for no reason and was impossible to get revoked. That was a complete waste of time when the main way I intended for it to get some traction was through Facebook shares.

That is a fair point. May be Plausible should do that too.
Oh major cultural misunderstanding here.

Assuming he's in France, by "recruiter" he means company recruiters / HR. Your CV and first phone interview always go to a recruiter at the company, that's the first person you have to talk to (and impress) to have a shot at any job.

American might understand recruiter as an external agency, there's no such thing in tech in France. There's no CEO/CTO either, they are sitting idle out of sight collecting money never interacting with the company or any employee.
I suspect that was a jab at apple's 30% cut on appstore sales.
That was my exact reaction to that line. The article was basically describing their learning curve about some OSS licenses.

I'm curious what led to the choice of the MIT license in the first place, given their goals.

So, the current price to bring something from space to Earth is for a capsule that keeps the material in a comfortable Earth-like atmosphere with minimal heating and g forces on the way down the way humans like it. If you instead have an object that doesn't need to breath and doesn't mind pulling 1000s of gs then things are much simpler, just take a reasonably sized sphere of your platinum ore, wrap it in some cheaper ablatable material, and drop it onto a desert then take it out of the small crater. Which isn't to say I actually think that asteroid mining for use on Earth is viable, just that the numbers used in that article are way too pessimistic.

In the short orbital communication is a >$100 billion a year industry and people are already looking at ways to manufacture larger antennas than can fit in rocket fairings in space for better signals. Even modest amounts of metal from an asteroid would be very valuable in orbit there since your competing with material that has to be brought up from Earth. Even bags of loose regolith could be very useful as radiation and meteorite protection.

Depends on where you live and what your energy costs and options are. Be prepared to pay $$$ as you start adding zones, especially at a “per room” level.

In the PNW my todo wishlist is heat pump + zoned underfloor radiant + on demand gas boiler for supplementary heat and household water supply. TBD on cooling via ceiling/floor loops or separate wall mounted chiller/evaporator units.

I had gas fired boiler + radiant heat + supplementary resistive heating in each bedroom. I’m currently living with 3 zoned mini splits. Honestly happy enough with both, but structural radiant heat is just the best for comfort.
This is one of those weird articles where the author's intent becomes clearer the moment you replace "AI" with "capitalism". Anthropomorphizing technology goes well beyond AI and has been a thing pretty much ever since we've had gizmos. When we talk about a car or a fridge or a calculator that we own, we don't talk about the 300+ people that were complicit in its design and production, so I'm not sure how this has got anything to do with AI specifically. When you buy groceries from your supermarket, are you thankful to every single person it took to get them there?

It's also strange how the article references GPT-3, and in the same breath talks about how there's a need to provide "actively engaged" and "high-quality" training data, even tho GPT-3 was a success specifically because it relied on neither.
Indeed. Use a static generator properly packaged in a Linux distribution and you'll have reliability and security updates.

Use a self-contined binaries from random sources and goodbye security.

Career progression process depends a lot on the type of company you're in. If it's a company that goes to the trouble to define career progression paths and have managers periodically discuss them with subordinates, then you should have a roadmap already. I haven't encountered these places much in my career, however.

If your department uses some team chat system, check to see what channels are available. There might be channels for topics of interest to you where you could join and gradually become interactive, thereby making yourself known. This can be especially valuable if you start writing a tech blog or occasionally making some tech demo projects on github - you can share those with your department (perhaps in the guise of requesting feedback), and it will help raise your visibility.
I find the first time I open a Twitter link in Firefox it breaks with a 'not found', if I immediately hit refresh it shows up though.
I've lived through the genesis of the modern internet, the move from command-line to GUI, dot-matrix, Java's birth, smartphones, .Net's birth, AMPS and GSM, the iPod, NTSC, all the web tech from JavaScript, CSS, MongoDb, Bitcoin, JQuery, Node, to agile, modern JS libraries and of course serverless, and countless others.

The result of it all is cynicism. Serverless takes a lot of work to learn and get good at. The benefit is negligible - no more than deploying a "serverless" thing to an existing web server we use for cross-cuting concerns like exception handling, logging and communication. 10 seconds of automated configuration management, another 10 to deploy. The Change Approval Board meeting to rubber stamp the deployment takes longer.

The breathless hype machine has and always will be just that - hype. Someone's "new, improved, OMG I found this you must use it now" perspective is a pattern that's older than Gartner's hype cycle (which in itself has no basis in fact). It works well in the startup world, but has virtually no place in a business-critical environment, let alone healthcare, defence, telcos or similar.

Little wonder it's adoption has stalled.
I find the flexbox syntax terrible and confusing, and the fact that they created a bunch of shortcuts that encompass several properties at once makes things even worse. Every time I want to use flexbox, I have to refer to the documentation. The result is that I use flexbox once for the main layout, and then tend to use other mechanisms in order to position small elements, menu items etc. even though flexbox would do the job perfectly.

I wish it was intuitive to me, so I could use it quickly and without turning my css code into a mess.
For decision tables, definitly look at Kogito and Drools-DMN as alternatives.

To declare incremental constraints in OptaPlanner, take a look at ConstraintStreams if you want to avoid learning DRL:

It's very similar to Java 8 Streams (but incremental and under the hood it uses Drools).

My personal preference are ideas arising out of "problems" that are a must have for your target customer and not nice to have. the Reason CRM, Sales, DevOps etc type software are successful because they are always needed by their target customers. They are also known as "Boring" Ideas which actually translate to "Proven ideas that always work as long as execution is great".

The problem with "boring" ideas is that they are done many times already and in order for you to find your "niche", you have to have some interest and ideally, experience in the niche you want to work on.
Most programs use something that is compatible with UTF-8. And UTF-8 is also backwards compatible with ASCII which is why A-z usually works. I actually think UTF-16 is the most common. The issues start to arise when three or more code points/bytes are combined into one character/glyph.
People outside England will probably assume Cockney Rhyming Slang is one of those things that nobody actually uses anymore and is just done in bad films to play up Englishness and to invoke a feeling of London... but it's actually pretty common to hear people using it naturally and un-ironically in speech here - especially examples like 'I haven't got a Scooby, mate' or 'let's go for a Ruby after this'.

Yeah, seems like we got on the radar of some corporations recently.

The other was that we got approached to help someone build a direct competitor based on our self-hosted code. They were upfront that they didn't want to pay us and they didn't want to contribute back to the project. They did offer us publicity to their "tens of thousands" of customers!

That's a reasonable answer, but note that's it's a different answer from the OP - you're not proposing to ban intolerance per se, but rather any group whose purpose is solely intolerance.
I've been involved with many international groups where the controlling shareholders have a different domicile to the operating company. The shareholders will always call the shots.

It's inconvenient to have the person you are writing about copyedit all of your writing. How would that even work?

And if you don't allow them to do that, how do you account for the situation here where Mr de Zwart's name is capitalized differently depending on context? I'm not even sure if I have it right here.
There probably have been many introvert-leaning articles on WFH lately because many people have discovered how much they love it (having never had the option, in some cases).

But there are still articles and essays that pop up lately, generalizing that "most people" or "everyone" wants to get back to the office. Perhaps the desire here is that we recognize the differences in people and try to make some compromises to accommodate an even greater percentage of workers. You can't make everyone happy, but certainly the pre-covid environment favored the office lovers far more than the home-workers.

All this talk about NATO still being an active entity in the protection of Europe is dangerous and hopelessly naïve.

As long as Trump is president, I don't think we need to have any illusions as to which side he would chose in a hypothetical armed conflict between the EU and Russia (he would pick no side).

EU politicians should wake up and smell the coffee, and invest in an EU army before it's too late. We really (desperately) need strategic independence from the US and other foreign powers. The US in particular has been an unpredictable, unreliable, and untrustworthy partner in the past two decades or so (e.g. Iran deal, Paris climate accords, Iraq war, EU-US trade wars, ...)

EDIT: Stop downvoting me and tell me instead where I'm wrong.
Sounds like the Chinese system of incremental improvements. The value is in successful and fast execution, not the protection of the idea.
In the scale of vaccinations that's a veritable tick of the second hand on the clock.

Bitcoin is now at a confluence level, so WILL it BREAK?
I started off reading your post and was agreeing with you, until you really got into listing issues that are gray areas.

Yes, an election date is a fact. Claiming something else easily constitutes voter suppression. I don't know what laws the US has around this but I imagine a court could easily criminally punish entities for doing this.

However - especially when it comes to covid, you really are in gray areas. And even the authority makes mistakes, how do you then "fact check it"? When the WHO claims in january its not airborne, or Fauci says don't wear masks one month, and wear them a month later? When the WHO says lock down your countries, and just this week says actually you shouldn't? Hydroxychloroquine was used in many countries, by medical doctors. Just because trump said he is taking it doesn't make it a conspiracy theory. At the time there were legitimate doctors trying legitimate theories. Even if it turned out to be false, it's ridiculous to claim this issue is black and white.
> this gets little attention from investors who believe “AI is the future,” encouraging further automation. This has contributed to the hollowing out of the economy

Automation == "hollowing out of the economy" does not follow. Companies can use automation to grow their output while keeping their workforce intact by taking on new projects that were not previously possible.

If automation were that dangerous, then being a software developer should be the worst job because it automates itself away. But no, in reality we do more and still need even more devs.

On the other hand, not automating is wasteful and a future time bomb. This anti-automation rhetoric is like children hating school while their parents force them to attend - preferring short term ease that comes with a much bigger long term penalty (temporal discounting at work).

I've been struggling with an issue myself where I have a non-24 hour sleeping pattern. Does your system handle changing of timezones gracefully? It's almost like my timezone changes by 1.5-2hrs every day, and sometimes stressful days will completely throw it off.

To make your setup really unusable, use a 60% layout with blank key caps and VIM. :-)

I use this setup + qwerty in an azerty region, needless to say my setup does not get used a lot for pair programming. I actually did have a spare keyboard in my desk drawer for a long time just in case someone really wanted to use my machine before I went full-time WFH.
I've long viewed working for Facebook (or Twitter) as like working for a cigarette company. Your product makes the world a worse place and everything would be better if your company disappeared, but hey, something's gotta pay the rent I guess?
> There you go

What am I looking at? What are you trying to show? Just posting a random graph is not really helpful.
I used to own one and have probably written about it before; the side to side is not very natural, but no big problem because the fingertip is down in a well with buttons wrapped close around it, so it’s a small movement, and the way the key mechanism works is backwards to normal - instead of pushing all the way until a contact clicks, the keys are magnetically latched at rest and you push them away from that state, meaning it registers at the start of moving not the end so again small movements and you don’t push hard into a resistive surface with the side of your finger to make sure it registers, you flick a gently sprung thing. Look at the keyboard layout too, shown at the top[1] and the pinkies don’t have sideways movement for writing English letters, and the other fingers only go one way, the easier way, for letters.

I didn’t get used to it to use it exclusively; it’s too tuned for prose, extracting your hand carefully to use a mouse, not having an easy way to type anything one handed while holding a mouse or phone (e.g. hold a device type the serial number), awkward arrow keys and less convenient numbers, see “NAS” (Number And Symbol) mode on the diagram entered by right-thumb-down.

It’s been long enough now that I’d like to play with one again, for a bit of novelty.

Not MBTI directly but stuff they’ve build upon the meyers brings and DISC profiling lines of thought. They’re pretty common in any enterprise organisation here, typically in some form that any given HR department has developed themselves in partnership with some consultant agency for lots and lots of money.

It’s given to anyone heading for a management related position. As I advice top management on tech decision I always end up taking them when getting hired or reorganised. I do tell the truth on them of course, but it’s a bunch of black magic as far as I’m concerned. I don’t even think it’s a nice tool for talking because it’s often either/or results when everyone is really a tad of everything.

But yes, they are very common.
