> Personally I find the Khan Academy, 3B1brown stuff to be a waste of time. It's too elementary and cutesy. That is not anything like what I've experienced real mathematics to be like. It is a continuous painful struggle.

Sorry, but what?

You'd be hard pressed to find any single person, in the past 10 years, that has ushered more people into STEM by providing a solid fundamental education, than Salman Khan.

I understand that you're wanting more rigorous math, on a higher-level, but still - to blow off KA, 3B1, etc. as a waste of time sounds more ignorant than anything. Of the millions and millions that have seen these those guys, I'm sure a certain % have gotten their "Aha!" moments there, which have helped them tackle on much more comprehensive topics / fields.

edit: Just to clarify, I do not think these vids are any replacement for a solid book, just in the way I do not think lectures or tutorials are a replacement. But they can be fantastic aids for your learning.

I'm not a public policy, legal, or economics expert, but I certainly favor treating this as a one-off. If a legal monopoly is the most expedient way to get us back to normal, so be it, and if fears of price gouging are a concern let congress or the executive or whomever cap the price. Once things get back to normal we can litigate the monopoly issue.
The common definition of racism is (from Webster but also colloquially):

"A belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race"

By broadly redefining racism in a way that removes individual agency you can declare anyone you want as racist. Then you can conveniently and selectively conflate it with the common definition to produce individual responsibility. It's a huckster tactic it's how you get things like

"I will say, I think it's strange they are asking them to admit to being racist, and "be better". It's a systemic thing, so it requires systemic change. Asking them to say they are racist and that they need to be better seems unneededly divisive."

By ensuring that the target they want is inherently racist and also individually responsible but with no possible power to change this, you can ensure an endless need for racism seminars and donations to assuage inherited guilt.

If a restaurant owner doesn't like me taking my shoes off, they can kick me out. There is a clear business interest in maintaining an atmosphere where people want to eat, and my bare feet would make plenty of people lose their appetites.

If the government points their guns at me and says eat at that restaurant or else, the restaurant owner has done nothing wrong. It is the government forcing me to wear shoes, not him. Even if he lobbied for a law that made dining at his restaurant mandatory, the government still decided on its own to go along with it - the restaurant owner had no power to make them do it. Forcing the restaurant to allow me to take my shoes off will only make the dining experience of everyone else forced to eat there more unpleasant.

It is dumb that the local school chose a setup that relies completely on Microsoft. You and everyone else negatively affected should be sure to show your dissatisfaction with the school board on election day. But there's nothing wrong with Microsoft having the ability to kick you off if it doesn't like you.

We know for a fact that DDT has a serious impact on wildlife. Humans aren't special. If something is causing tumors in wildlife as DDT did then it will cause increased cancer risk in humans as well. And studies have shown that DDT travels up the food chain to higher animals as they eat lower animals, gaining more and more concentration each time.

Since humans are the ultimate apex predator that eats other stuff on this planet we need to be really careful about the chemicals we release into the environment, unless we want to end up poisoning ourselves. It's not complicated: creating and dumping large amounts of a long lived chemical that does not break down easily, and which causes increased cancer risk is a really bad idea.

I think rust has indirectly shown that the performance impact of bounds checking mostly neglegible in practice. Even in very high performance code, I've never seen anyone turn them off for performance. This makes a lot of sense considering that on modern CPUs everything except cache misses is basically free, so a single unlikely branch compare usually just does not matter.

The only exception I can think of is accessing lots of indexes in a loop, where getting good performance requires rust programmers to insert awkward asserts or casts to fixed length arrays to get the checks to optimize out[1]. But afaik that's mostly because the bound checks impede other loop optimisations like vectorization, not because the checks are slow themselves.

This is nothing new. Journalists were cribbing from blogs and Reddit before social media, and from usenet before then (although the latter to a lesser degree).

Agree with your statement of this being a symptom of trimmed budgets and the 24hr news cycle. The push for free news on the internet may have also contributed.
You are trying to bend reality to your will, it doesn't work like that. The fact of the matter is that sometimes you have large meetings, and often times participants will have their cameras turned off. Instead of fighting it and saying that people are Doing It Wrong, we need to accept this reality and work with it.

A push-to-talk system with shared layouts solves all these problems, is scalable, and doesn't require cameras.

One thing to keep in mind, is that HFT is not just "one thing". It's a collection of many different strategies that are generally characterized by short holding periods, high portfolio turnover, and latency sensitivity. But depending on the specific strategy, the degree of latency sensitivity could vary by orders of magnitude.

A desk trying to gain first queue position at the opening auction is probably running in FPGAs or ASICs and aiming for 100 nanoseconds. A spot market maker needs to respond fast to new level formation, and is aiming for 10 microseconds on a C++ stack. An alpha-driven liquidity taker may be using complex ML models, and is running a Scala stack at 50 microseconds. An ETF market may just need to re-mark their quotes when the underlying shifts, and is fine with 250 microseconds on OCaml.

We had similar issues with integration tests, and made them a separate jenkins job that didn't trigger automatically, but gitlab was still configured to require them to pass for merge. We would kick it off manually only after all other code review was complete. Then the only cases where we had to re-run it were the same cases where it would have failed in master if we only ran the test there, but it saved us the hassle of reverting or feeling pressured to get hotfixes into master quickly.

How does one change their political believes? I'd argue that some of my political beliefs are as firm and unchangeable as my sexual preferences.

But to play along with your logic here, what if someone was a member of a feminist organisation? Do you believe it would be acceptable for a company to refuse to do business with people who are members of feminist organisations?

And if your argument is that it's possible to pretend not to be a feminist, can the same not also be said for someones sexual orientation?

If this was anticipated by the architecture:

* My USB webcams wouldn't show up in a different order each time I reboot. This works fine under Windows and Mac.

* My monitor configuration wouldn't be hardcoded in my xorg config file, or swapped around manually with xrandr. I'd have a way to code up config options for whatever is plugged in, and if something unanticipated happens, it'd do something reasonable until I coded that config in too.

* I wouldn't need to reconfigure my drawing tablet to connect to the right monitor each time I plug it in.

* The system wouldn't get into an unrecoverable, unstable state with e.g. an unreliable USB cable.

.. and so on. It's designed for a fixed set of hardware, with layers on top of that to support hotswapping. I don't have "USB 4k Logitech Webcam" on the native level. I have /dev/video3. I then have layers to map names back.

They are mostly 32-bit, so you can run them on any Windows 10 build. MS has worked pretty hard to maintain backward compatibility. They should mostly work, maybe requiring a little fiddling with the compatibility settings. But it’s not perfect, and I hear you might have better luck with WINE with some applications.

The break is with 16-bit applications, which 64-bit Windows 10 no longer supports. You can still run them on 32-bit Windows 10.

All that winevdm does is emulate the 16-bit processor and translate 16-bit-Windows api calls to their modern equivalent, so you can run 16-bit programs on 64-bit Windows again.
Another method for checking your understanding is to work through the worked out problems in the book and any proofs it may have, too. (Most of the value in a proof is in the techniques used to prove the result.) Work through them yourself, trying to understand each step, and attempt to do the problems in the same way. At first, justify each step you take, don't try to skip the "obvious" steps. Again, this isn't a perfect substitute for an instructor, but it can go a long way towards your goal.
I guess my question is: Why shouldn't "take a screenshot, either of a window, the whole screen, or a portion of the screen" be something that Wayland itself be expected to handle?

I mean, if you're worried about security of apps from other apps, don't make it something in the apps' domain. Only allow Wayland to take the screenshots, but support that, make it easy, and you won't need to worry about either the security model or users complaining.

I mean, this is the way other OSes do it...to the best of my knowledge (which is certainly not comprehensive) neither Windows nor macOS allow arbitrary apps to screenshot arbitrary portions of the screen; that's handled by the OS itself.

While I'm not intending to start a heated conversation here, I don't know what you have gone through and I'm pretty sure I make mistakes, but I do feel your tone is accusatory and definitely inappropriate when you don't know the full context of anything.

> You seem to be writing that a simple language is somehow harder to scale for large teams

I've worked on a large Scala program before, and because the team generally agreed not to let things get too crazy, it was very manageable. However, I've seen other programs in complex languages get out of hand.

There is a sweet spot in terms of language simplicity/complexity and usability. Make it too simplistic (like golang) and the low modeling ability and inexpressiveness of the language will result in shifting the complexity into the code and onto the programmer, there's no running away from it, it's just reality. IMO, languages like Java, C#, and Kotlin do a much better job at balancing features with modeling power and expressiveness, without sacrificing simplicity.

> Verbose (and consistent) is exactly what you want for large teams. What's error prone about it?

I've seen many instances where errors are ignored by mistake, e.g.:

a, err := foo()
if err != nil { ... }

b, err := bar()
// oops, error not handled and compiler doesn't complain

c, err := baz()
if err != nil { ... }

not to mention things like

defer file.Close() // Error not handled

and more insidious occurrences (e.g. when was the last time you handled the error for fmt.Println()?)

Consistent is good, verbose just for the sake of being verbose isn't. And honestly golang is not that consistent (e.g. the entire nil interface is not nil issue is just bizzare)

> Do you have an example project that has problematic build times in Go?

At my employer, we use a monorepo and build with bazel. Builds routinely take several minutes, and even more on "less powerful" machines (e.g. 4 cores). Linking time is abysmal, and we routinely end up with 50+MB binaries. It's closed source so I can't share them.

It's not a stupid question, and I've heard that some vaccines are aiming to be approved only for adults at first. This would make sense not only because, as you say, you can start to approach herd immunity without vaccinating everyone, but also because children are weaker spreaders.

Obviously "herd immunity" is more of a gradient than a cut-off, and it's much easier to approach it if we can vaccinate everyone, but we can definitely speed up the process (including the months-long process to even get the vaccines to everyone) if we can start vaccinating some people early.

>> you needn't know, it was corrected

There were long reports on what went wrong (and what didn't) in 2016 polling.

For example, https://www.aapor.org/Education-Resources/Reports/An-Evaluat...

More importantly, there are explanations from pollsters about what they changed and they speak openly about remaining possible sources of uncertainty/error. See e.g. the quotes in this article: https://www.newsweek.com/how-pollsters-changed-their-game-af...

All of this is a quick google search away, and anyone who has actually paid attention to polling knows exactly how polling has changed in the past 4 years. It's literally impossible to read anything on this topic without knowing that polling firms openly talk about methodology changes. Therefore, your original comment was either intentionally misleading or profoundly uninformed.

NB: You can absolutely agree or disagree with their methodological choices, especially around "shy Trump effect" and whether Trafalgar-like "what do your neighbors think?" questions make sense.

But even if you disagree with their choices, _it's plainly untrue to say their attitude is "you needn't know". To the contrary, they're quite open about how their polling methodology has changed._

Are you willing to defend with evidence and reason your initial claim that pollsters haven't explained what they have/haven't done to try and correct polling methodology? Or are we just going to name-call like we're 12 year olds on a playground/irrelevant partisan zombies in the internet comment section?
