I'd be skeptical of a definition of intelligence that had no correlation with IQ scores. If you managed to put forth and defend such a definition, then that could turn into a valid objection; but that would then run into the "psychological trait heritability" prior.

> Its equally hard to argue for an average of things which are not faithfully represented by numbers.

How do you represent, say, extroversion with numbers? It's messy and any particular measure is probably not a good one, but what people do is come up with a list of questions like "Statement: I am excited when I go to a social event full of strangers; rate your agreement from 0 (Strongly Disagree) to 4 (Strongly Agree)", and add up the numbers to create a score. It's kind of arbitrary and has a lot of "noise" in it, but on the other hand there is enough signal that it is measuring something real. If you need to turn it into a binary classification, you choose a cutoff number, which will again be semi-arbitrary and make errors, but again can be good enough to draw useful conclusions. You can then apply that measure to, say, biological siblings who were both adopted, or (best) to identical twins separated at birth vs fraternal twins separated at birth, and see if genetic similarity correlates with similarity of your measure. From that kind of data, you can get a vague idea of heritability.

If the thing you're discussing isn't measured by existing tests, fine. If the thing you're discussing has a logical definition and is important, but you think there can be no tests to produce even a vague measure, then I would guess you just haven't tried very hard.

The restoration of evidence based cause/effect reality is going to be a hard pill to swallow for many communities, I think.

If you look at the behavior of many groups, they have long held beliefs that the costs of their chosen behavior should be borne by the wider community.

Now that people have decided to not suppress these behaviors, the results are becoming evident much more quickly. Any person/business not interested in living in close proximity will simply leave.

After a couple such cycles, they’ll leave - and begin to demand evidence of positive behavior on individuals wishing to enter their new communities...

Fun times are coming.
I thought the title was okay—I got exactly what I expected.

"True Unemployment Rate" implies "I don't think our standard measure of employment accurately captures the state of the economy" which then implies "I'm going to provide my own metric, and explain why it's different and why I think it's better."

Have you looked thoroughly over https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/stdlib/LinearAlgebra/ ?

There's a ton of in-place operations there, including in-place solving of linear systems, and at least some stuff related to svd (though the names are pretty un-intuitive, being wrappers for BLAS and LAPACK functions).
Thanks for the pointer, now I'm very curious
Their software could have bugs, or be compromised.
I think saying you are full-stack is misleading and it sets job-seekers up for failure. And I would argue it's not fine, since it's these same types of people whining about what terrible luck they are having (purely anecdotal of course).

A few ideas that I think would give these grads some better luck:

- Update your profile to say "Interested in joining a front-end or back-end team" or "tech generalist with a focus on X"

- Elaborate even further in your About section and let people know which of the two you are stronger in and what experience you have

- Swap out "full-stack" for "web developer"

Don't tell me you're something you're not. Under-promise, over deliver. Seeing full-stack on a resume sets my expectations for whoever I'm about to interview regardless of the number of years of experience.

Keep in mind, the arguments are likely based on legal precedent, and not necessarily popular opinion or conventional wisdom.

I'm not disagreeing with you per se. Simply pointing out that legal stuff like this is a chess match. It's also unlikely the accused would go too far to tip their hand in terms of their defense.
> The interesting thing about Sweden is that they are going through a second wave even though they basically didn't do anything to stop the virus.

That's a misrepresentation of what happened in Sweden.

While there was no formal lockdown, people absolutely voluntarily engaged in some level of social distancing.

You only need to look at the economic data, which shows a major domestic slowdown, to see that people clearly changed their behaviour. It just wasn't mandated by the state.

In fact, the same pattern is visible in other nations. That is, individual behaviour changed in advance of lockdowns pretty consistently across a variety of countries.
Right, I've been telling you it's not relevant for the past three comments now.

Have you considered making a maze that can not be solved by the follow-the-left-wall or follow-the-right-wall strategies?

I’m not sure how that example negates what I said. Regardless of the circumstances as to why a case is tried sooner than you would like, it’s still happening. Sometimes it is a judge, sometimes it is a boss, sometimes it is a strategic maneuver by opposing counsel, etc. That doesn’t make it an acceptable excuse to not represent their client’s interests given the time they do have, nor does it make the decision any less impactful to the client they represent.

Does anyone believe Facebook when they say this is just a bug and no data was harvested?
Thanks. (if I may) Since you emphasize that Retool built a 10x product and really understood their customers, what are some ways they did both of those? Did they hire the right product / UX people early-on? Had initimate understanding of the problem at-hand? Knew which features to leave out and which ones to build in face a barrage of feature requests? Kept in constant touch with their early adopters? Ran really good user interviews? Or...
It seems toxic to me that there's no accepted public venue for that stuff, though. The fact that people are too afraid to relay certain useful information until they're tipsy; the emphasis on "doing impression management".

Maybe it should remain separate from the rigorous stuff, but where's the "Op-Ed section" of academic publishing?
The idea behind allowing apps to see your contacts was sound, I'm on an app that works better when my contacts are connected to me. Whether its a social network, a game, a fitness app, etc there are many obviously good uses for the end user. Going further it was pretty awesome years ago when there were apps that would connect your contacts to your Facebook friends and they would sync things like birthdays and their profile pictures back to my contacts.

The issue is that some asshole had the genius idea of trying to monetize and spam the contacts once they were given and other assholes followed suit. I would never give the 2 way sync permission to some random app anymore and I almost never give the contact permission to bigger apps as well.

What I hope is that eventually there becomes some way to determine if my contacts also use an app without the app knowing they are my contacts nor giving up the information of contacts not on the app. That seems like a hard but not impossible task. Eventually I'd like there to be a safe way to return to the 2 way sync, but I'm not sure if that is even possible.
But you can also use a container as first contact and redirect to other containers. You can bind a network device to a container.

For example a reverse proxy container which redirects to a gitea container or a wordpress container depending on the request. The reverse proxy container can also centralize the security with certificate handling or fail2ban.

The minimum IPv4 allocation is a /24 because that is the smallest network that can be globally routed. Smaller networks are filtered out of BGP to stop routing tables getting too big too fast. Anything smaller than /24 has to be rented from a network provider who will advertise an aggregate route covering many customers.
Sorry - I'm not clear what the referent of the word "it" is here? You mean Bunkerized is violating these principles? Or the approach the gp suggests?

Have you tried it? Because you're very likely to get stuck ;).

If you strictly follow a wall from the start (or any of the checkpoints), you'll find your way to the end. However, most walls are on loops. The style of maze I used is called a braid maze, and replaces all dead-ends with loops. (The maze algorithm considers a 2x2 square a loop though, while the renderer doesn't fill anything in the center, so those still look like dead ends.)
Right, for DI/IoC it seems pretty standard. (I think it's probably a historical accident, honestly. Reflection was really the tool to get constructor parameters and then someone figured, hey, why not just inject private values directy? It surely convenient at the time, but... lessons learned, I guess. I have no problem with compile-time DI via static reflection of e.g. constructors. It's a little more boilerplate, but worth it, IMO)

Definitely agree about "stringly" typed programming becoming an increasing issue in Java over the years, but that had more to do with over-use of instanceOf, etc., not so much actual strings (as in className).

> I'm increasingly coming to fear that languages with more safety-oriented features aren't associated with safer practices because those features encourage safer design, so much as because they tend not to attract programmers with a swashbuckling attitude in the first place.

Perhaps, as well as Dylan, it's worth referencing another Lisp system, T, that pioneered fast dynamic language implementations on the typical Unix workstation-type hardware of the time, and was of interest for research computing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_(programming_language)

(T has some historical interest just as the original implementation language of the Yale Haskell compiler.)

Sure, and Congress could potentially draft such legislation, which could be constitutional depending on the specifics, unlike the provisions in the McCain-Feingold act.
The biggest barrier to an alternative in these situations is the learning curve. If a professor can teach it to a bunch of lower-division undergraduates in a single class and receive their reports in a uniform format then it'll be a hit.

A bigger barrier here is that we had to know how to apply propagation of errors, so although we could use a tool like this to do the calculation we still had to generate a set of equations for the lower bound, best estimate, and upper bound. There's a seductive argument to be made for just plugging those equations into Excel instead of using them to validate that the Julia functions are working correctly.
the argument is that they were able to catch up to / surpass IE because Microsoft stopped working on it for 5 years. (I'm not endorsing or rejecting it myself.)
When converting from UTF-8 to UTF-32, you need to know the number of codepoints so that you know how much memory to allocate.

If I had to guess I’d say they banned your account for some other reason (doesn’t have to be a good reason, just some other bad reason) because I have the exact same situation (I use WhatsApp for just one group and nothing else and denied access to my contacts) and my account isn’t banned.

If they had a policy of banning everyone who doesn’t allow access to contacts, I wouldn’t be allowed back in the chat.
>I've been seeing this sentiment a lot on LinkedIn, particularly with new developers entering the field.

You can move state to the boundary, and IO to the boundary, and then... what's left? It was all boundary.

A bit more realistically, here's an automobile cruise control that uses the same button for "reduce set speed" and "set the speed". (Don't blame me, I've had more than one car with that exact setup).

if (cruiseSpeedSet) {
cruiseSpeed--;
} else {
cruiseSpeed = currentSpeed;
cruiseSpeedSet = true;
}
writeSpeedToEngineComputer(currentCruiseSpeed);
} // else do nothing
}

Ask HN: Why isn't iMessage seen as anti-competitive?
iMessage can only be used between Apple Devices. There's no way for anyone that doesn't have an Apple product to participate in an iMessage conversation. It starts all new message threads on an iPhone through iMessage. There's also no way to use a different messaging backend on iPhone with the stock messages app. While you can install other apps to message with, they cant't integrate into the main messaging app.
Interestingly it is good to know that the quality of digitised video in the cloud (YouTube etc) decreases over time as well. The endless cycles of reencoding doesn't do a good thing to videos. I would even argue that my 10 year old YouTube videos decreased more than some of my 25 year old VHS tapes.
So engrave your video bits in platinum to make sure it withstand time. Don't forget to add the decoder algorithm as well. It might not exist anymore in 30 years from now.

I had this too. I assumed it would be fine - and it mostly was. However, we tracked a weird bug with some of the companies IoT products not being able to open a connection to the .0. Never figured out if this was a dodgy IP stack on the devices, or if it was the particular mobile carrier in that area of the world. My money would be on the latter though.
This is a pretty good point. I spoke to a developer from facebook once and they said essentially that there is nothing super secretive happening behind the curtains.
