Facilitating is not causing. These are two different things.

Just about any object can facilitate the act of killing. A car, a bowling ball, a swimming pool. Do these things cause murders too? That's not how causation works.

A car can facilitate going to the store. Does the car cause you to go to the store? Of course not. You go to buy the thing you needed. The car is just a means.

Wow this is a big deal. Basically it guarantees that the H1Bs will go to FAANG and if you are smaller shop you can go pound sand... or go fully remote.

I wonder if this would be overturned with a Biden win. Probably not soon.

The US immigration system for people seeking permanent residence is quite broken. If you follow the classic path, you have to spend $50k for a college education, then do indentured servitude for 6+ years, and then you get a shot at an H1B _IF_ you are the best and brightest and could land a job that pays what Google and Netflix are paying. Although I am guessing priority will be given to managers and senior engineers by the USCIS now.
Title is misleading. The car got a single license (i.e, for it's prototype only) and only for Dutch roads, not full Europe.
This is true. The prosecutor should have observed that Stand Your Ground applied to Trayvon Martin who has reasonable belief that he was being pursued by someone intending to do him harm. Martin was not afforded equal protection under the law.

It's kind of a joke. They're in the Big Brother business, but, unlike Google, they admit it.
You’re welcome. I wish someone in my position was able to give me this same info a year ago.

The other thing I’d add is that on my “old” projects, my JS is way better now that I’ve practiced so much es6 in React.
I think that issue would have deserved a national debate and a referendum. Debating the pros and cons on TV and radio and letting the population decide for once - how many people did or didn't want a lockdown ?
It’s a rhetorical construct here: they mean a non-bike thing that also requires scraping your knees to learn.
Doesn’t this create an incentive for those who make enough to vote to enact more laws to make it harder for those who can’t?
That would work if, like golang, bazel was the "default" package manager for everyone. Right now it's not easy to get, for example, vulkan or muslc or qt as a bazel package.

It's also not easy to publish a version of your package (A) that depends on another package (B). This would create a diamond-problem like situation where your package (C) depends on both packages (A->B, C->A, C->B). So, some code needs to resolve these issues and reproducible identify the exact hashs of everything to pull in to make it a not-manual process.

Also, something great about the design docs linked in my other post: there's a presubmit.yaml standard so, pulling in a library, will include tests that bazel will run for whatever arch you're compiling for. For instance, say you pull in sqlite and need to build it for RISC-V. Before you just needed to hope that sqlite worked correctly on your arch, now you'll be able to test those situations in CI with RBE runners for all architectures.
In fact writing an REST/Web API should be easier than writing a server-side generated HTML website (no need for templating language, ugly form frameworks,...).

Why is that easier? It's more work, you are now rendering two views instead of one, a JSON one(server) and HTML one(in the client) with all the JSON encoding/decoding that it entails. You are still using a templating language and, dealing with forms in React is more cumbersome than doing it server-side.

This is really cool. I wish there was a way to have non-english speaking journalists as interviewers, I'd totally set them loose on many of my family members.

Edit: Your homepage doesn't explain what you do well enough, IMO. When I visited it I wasn't sure what you do - but reading your post explained it to me (I think) - you hire journalists to interview your loved ones and turn it into a podcast. I didn't get that from your homepage.
That's too bad. Gonna start a workstation build and even though it's only gonna do deep learning for prototyping, fiddling with low level stuff is just a non-starter compared to just spinning up anaconda env.

> I can assure you that anybody who makes members virtual by default does not understand the feature, even if that body is named Steele.

You may be reviled by that design decision, and the ramifications thereof, but I'd put my money on Guy Steele having a sharp grasp of the feature, the alternative design decisions, and the ramifications of most possibilities. If I were designing a language, and could pick any of a handful of people to help with the design, Guy would be near the top of the list, if nothing more that for his ability to explain things clearly and succinctly.
I am a huge US soccer fan and an even bigger fan of Daryl Grove. I'm also a runner and listen to 15-20 hours of podcasts a week.

When I'm in "the zone" of a run and a podcast comes on that particularly resonates with me, I tear up (maybe 3-4 times in my 6+ years of running). I think that's due to a combination of the power of the podcast episode and my heightened emotional state when I'm on a long run.

This Artifact had that effect on me while I was sitting on my couch. I am blown away.
I was pleasantly surprised by Bazel. It seems to solve pretty much every concern I had, with not much downside. The biggest pain point was not being able to easily put the massive build files on an external hard drive, but you can do it with —disk_cache and —output_base. Unfortunately lots of scripts don’t expose a direct interface to the bazel command, making it necessary to modify those.

Still, nice build system.
It seems apparent to me that any open letter should be primarily written to pander to a broad, general audience and only tangentially for the named "recepient". It is the readers of the letter that are intended to convince Facebook to change their stance.

"The growth of the Internet will slow drastically, as the flaw in ‘Metcalfe’s law’ — which states that the number of potential connections in a network is proportional to the square of the number of participants — becomes apparent: most people have nothing to say to each other!

And yet, it still uses 130 flipping megabytes of RAM, more than Youtube does, as well as more CPU than Youtube does at idle, as well as requiring several seconds to "start up" when first opening a tab. Ridiculous.

Who are you finding who can give you a PCB for a form and fit prototype from a list of preassembled breadboards you stuck together, for just 1k?

Afaik, 1k wouldn't even pay for someone to take your ball of breadboards and figure out what the a pared down component list looks like

This is great for taking a maker's prototype of multiple boards hooked together with jumper wires and random connectors in a project box... and giving them a single board that's still meant to be used in an exposed state, but is "moderately scalable". No where near being ready for "form and fit"

From the article:

> Cut and stripped wires, point-to-point soldered breakout boards, anchored everything to the proverbial breadboard, and after four hours sat back to realize you only had five more devices to build?

> Found yourself with a great idea, but unsure of how to bring it to life?

> Had an amazing prototype but needed to create a demo ready proof-of-concept?

Proof of concept is well before what you're talking about
Not the parent, and its probably close to 100% that someone there is dishonest, but lets put this in context: The police enforce laws against murder. What are the chances that a police officer has murdered someone? (100%). Does that mean our prohibition against murder is too strict?
Raspberry Pi and other boards like the BBC Microbit, and Arduino are stepping in to help kids learn computing from Linux to hardware/robotics.

I'm also hoping that the Commander X16 project takes off. It's essentially a new Commodore 64 with better specs that is supposed to be affordable and easy to use and fun. That would make for a great first computer.
This was so predictable, though, considering how slow and painful it was to get to even the current level of standardization and interoperability in the Xorg+Freedesktop world. I have to assume that part of the reason is that solving the problems Wayland solves is exciting and fun (and addresses the most obvious pain points with Xorg/X11), but building the rest of the ecosystem is less exciting and doesn't draw as much focus and engineering effort.
Measles has an incredibly high R0, and survives in aerosols. If covid does also, I wonder whether its R0 can get that high. Are there degrees of aerosolization, like "very fine mist" vs "small droplets"?
>This could've been the origin of the term, before it even showed up in murder mysteries. Perhaps from the 1700s

The thing is, it doesn't show up in murder mysteries themselves (except only as a fourth-wall breaking meta-reference to the trope).

It originates with murder mystery readers -- as the name of a trope.

Go learn to skateboard or snowboard? A pass--where would I go with that at my age? Learn something new related to computers? Your bar to clear to motivate me on that is huge (but it does occasionally clear). Go back and push my Quantum Mechanics or Solid State Physics to another layer? Nah, not without a good reason.
I write full SPAs at work, professionally. We use React, Apollo, GraphQL, Webpack etc. the TALL stack is such a breath of fresh air. I can't even begin to explain my joy. Just joy.

I now dread the time I have to write those infinite lines of JS, conflicting dependencies, slow build times, React hook state management etc.

When I speak with my colleagues about tech, they all seem to love the entangled mess of JS dev and willing to jump on any new framework that gets released. I always push for good old reliable SSR. Often get called the weird one for being young, yet favoring old school tech, though.

I guess I prefer a better developer experience and shorter time to production/market, rather than spending days trying to setup a project and figure out weird quirks and issues with such a complicated mess of a "serverless, modern day web application".
I wonder how many people get away with fraud because so many other people are so bad at it.

This is not that surprising; Nvidia drivers have always lagged the bleeding edge somewhat: Debian 10 has been out since Summer 2019 and official CUDA support hasn't been available until a month or two ago.
Blazor is certainly a very interesting and promising piece of technology. However, Blazor Server hosting mode is prone to latency issues and requires always-on connection to run an applications (so, no offline mode). On the other hand, the alternative Blazor WebAssembly mode requires clients to download a sizeable mix of .NET runtime and other system DLLs on the first use of the application (even a lightweight demo application with almost zero app-specific resources requires a download of 6+ MB of data in DEBUG mode and 2+ MB in RELEASE mode). Of course, relevant Microsoft teams work hard on further minimizing the size of the system bundle, but there are obvious limits to efforts in this regard.
Pretending to be asking for a friend on a public forum is a common one...
This is actually the case in certain industries and areas. You can, for example, make more money as a medical professional in a rural area than you can in cities, for example.

The main thing missing here is that this is the tech industry where there was previously no demand in rural places, which makes the low supply in rural places irrelevant. Before the aggressive lockdowns across the country, tech companies didn't care about rural areas because the increased labor pool wasn't worth the compounding gains you get from a concentration of talent, face-to-face communication, and advanced urban infrastructure. Now they literally can't have that, they will give you a worse deal because they have access to a larger labor pool.

It's kind of absurd to suggest that increasing the labor pool alone will lead to higher wages. It's strictly worse for city dwellers who already benefited from an increasing employer pool, which is now offset by an increasing labor pool.

Foreign student admissions are going to plummet if wage levels are too high to qualify for H1B. There are plenty of companies other than FAANG that hire foreign students after graduation. Why would anyone want to spend north of $50k if there’s no reasonable guarantee of a job to make that money back?

AFAIK, international student tuition heavily subsidizes financial aid for domestic students. So you could have American students also losing out.
The first line of the article is “Programming and computer science are all the rage these days.“

What a brilliant promotion for the movie “An American Pickle” where a pickle worker falls into a vat and is preserved for a hundred years, waking up in a new and strange land called the future. Very subtle...

The basic question is still valid, in spite of the 1990s copy.

Yes, speaking purely to a student of the humanities not a potential IT worker, you should learn to cut code. But not necessarily to total fluency unless you are an anthropologist studying nerd culture. “Observe the coder in his native habitat...”

No, you shouldn’t learn to develop software, outside of a few DIY type projects for home use as a hobbyist.

Apart from the fact that banning an entire country from contributing to their code would be antithetical to the Wikimedia foundation, if you're implying the country which I think you're implying (which is also where I live, btw) you'll:

1. Ban a burgeoning tech industry which has produced over 20 unicorns,receives billions in funding from across the world and produces world-class tech talent;
2. Ban millions of other OSS developers from contributing; and
3. Just lead to SEO spammers picking out other impoverished countries to spam from, which means finally you'll end up with only people from the "west" being able to contribute in any way.
The study (open-access PDF link in the article) says that in their testing on human skin samples, the 293 nm wavelength was the most efficient, and would require 10 times less exposure to get the same effect as the 305 nm wavelength. They seem to suggest that 30 seconds of exposure with the 293 nm wavelength lamp might be the equivalent of 30 minutes of sunlight.

The PDF also says that D3 is produced from lights all the way up to 320 nm, so the 311 ones sold on Amazon would work. But given the 293 vs 305 effectiveness, how much exposure would you need to actually make a meaningful difference? Probably a lot!

Programming and IT in general is such a bummer in that regard. 20 years of relearning how to do the same thing differently wears on you.

So this is only tangentially related in that it's ML related. I'm working on a system where a user uploads a single document that corresponds to several documents we already have I'm the system (and we know which documents those are) and we are supposed to map pages from the single document to pages in the other know documents.

I'm having a hard time finding literature on problems like this. I think the closest thing it's like is the stable matching problem, but I'm not sure. My current algorithm doesn't allow for missing or reordered pages.

Does anyone have magic words I could google to find pertinent research/algorithms? I think if worst comes to worse I'll have to try to model the incoming page stream as something like a bayseian ... graph? It's been so long since I've done something like that (5 years), and that was in school.
