We're no longer humans, but ostriches shoving our heads into the sand. I think it's priceless to know exactly what people think of me, and not twist their arms and tongues, and then get a knife in my back once of a sudden. Everything could be qualified as hate speech... unless it's politically-correct hate speech, like, the hatred against single white heteresoxual men, who are openly being vilified nowadays.
We see this so often now I'm starting to think it's an intentional strategy.

I write a bunch of e2e tests, and not many unit tests. I'm on the fence about if this is a good idea or not. I feel like when you are starting at zero, you need more e2e tests, before writing more unit/service tests as your product is solidified.

I wish e2e tests were faster. I feel like this should be achievable, but it's a problem way out of my depths. I feel like you could run a browser within a docker container at 2x or 5x speed with enough virtualization. I've been told this would not work in practice.

Not really. IANAL(inguist), but it sort looks like this:

Russian has progressed/evolved more than many of the other Slavic languages (due to more speakers, being a part of an empire etc.). So there are significant differences between Russian and most other Slavic languages (even the closest ones, Ukranian and Belorussian). These differences are everywhere: in word forms, tenses, stress, pronunciation etc.

Many other Slavic languages (especially Balkanian) retain a lot of forms, sounds, meanings that are archaic by Russian standards: anything from Bulgarian `ъ` sound which disappeared from Russian centuries ago, to words like `лепа` (beautiful) in Serbian which hasn't been used in Russian for over a century, to words like Polish `uroda` (beauty) which switched its meaning to mean "ugly" in Russian.

And the list goes on: locative and vocative cases exist in Serbian, haven't existed in Russian for a long time; definiteness of Macedonian and Bulgarian hasn't existed in Russian for a long time, if ever; etc. etc.

So all in all, other Slavic speakers have a higher chance and luck understanding Russian speakers, than Russian speakers other Slavik languages.

Hmmmm... 1000 is still a "small" number when we're talking about GPU cores. I probably should have said 100,000 binary searches, or 1,000,000 binary searches.

You're right, 1000 is a small enough number where the CPU might still win. If its a large-enough data-structure to hit VRAM (ie: a binary search across a 8GB vector), that's what'd be best for the GPU.

Raytracing is millions rays per scene. 4k is 8,294,400 rays at 1-sample per pixel, and each one of those rays has to traverse a BVH tree (similar to a binary tree). Each of those rays MIGHT set off a 2nd or 3rd ray, depending on what its bouncing against. The big BVH tree that organizes all of the video game triangles / objects is shared for all rays.

That's the "1000s of binary tree searches in parallel" I was trying to reference. But I guess its closer to 10s of millions.

I am not sure what exactly do you mean is not true. But in fact the article you linked says about pre-gdpr cookie consent. So it kind of contradicts what I said. But in practice to gather such consent it was allowed to say "if you don't consent, please disable cookies in your browser" and that's what I meant about "I understand" button. Regarding the exempt for this notification, I am not sure if CF cookies should be considered as strictly necessary.
They're like any other industry, struggling in an increasingly digital, on-demand world and competing with 'free' YouTube entertainment. There is no quick fix here. Its a supertanker that takes ages to correct course. People need to vote with their eyeballs and ears. Folks need to take some personal hits and avoid popular big-studio content. Its hard, if not impossible to make an amicable deal when only one side has to compromise.
You say that English can be sorted into two registers, but the example you give of a low register doesn't actually exist or get recognized or used, so I'm not sure how that is evidence that there are two registers and not just one.

> It's that English vocabulary can be sorted into these two registers, a common and an academic one, and that this distinction is largely absent in several other European languages.

But the example you give is of English using the same word for common and academic context.

I would agree because I see my devs writing unit tests for plumbing code that does not have any logic. I am annoyed by that. So I am 'party pooper' when it comes to unit testing. But I would like to have unit tests for something that has calculations or non trivial logic only.

Other thing I would really like 'risk based' approach, like what is the worst thing that can happen with that code. If it can drop half of the records in table, yes do checks and unit testing. If it is going to be something in the interface not displayed or displayed incorrectly then meh.

This is actually a fantastic experiment to evaluate whether people are employed on H1-Bs because of a shortage which can't be met locally, or because indentured workers are cheaper. Ideally there would be another cohort, allocated randomly, where the employee is not tied to any one employer, like a temporary green card.

It is fallacious to say that with decreased supply, demand will dictate wages will go up. It is quite possible that demand is elastic at a particular price point, but at higher prices demand falls to zero (aka set up an office in Canada). There is no reason to assume linearity in any of this.

What's missing is that, even with the potential for high wages after graduation, it is still a big risk for an individual to borrow for a college education. These employers should be taxed, perhaps 10% of their H1-B expenditure, with that tax subsidising education in that field.

I was recently making a similar language decision about a project that I've foolishly started. Since I wanted my code to be easily portable and also (for my own use) wanted it to be able to run on iOS and MacOS, I ended up selecting C++ as the language [1]. I've got about 20 years of C++ evolution to catch up on and there are a lot of things that I haven't had to think about in those twenty years (I spent a couple days making sure I grokked universal references and why I would care), but as I've explored what libraries are available for my use case, I think it's the right choice.

It's a bit different here than with a regular fact check from a fact checking organization. This department has a cooperative relationship with the author, not an adversarial, investigative one. They're acting almost as support staff: ensuring there are no errors, making sure they're in the clear legally, etc. Detecting fraud is a component, but it's not the main goal.

Setting up an OCaml build system for the first time is an absolute nightmare. There are a number of tooling issues with OCaml that require a lot of work to figure out and work around. It is not batteries-included, either.

> Amicable out of court settlement seems to be best.

This was my approach, and ultimately I got what I wanted because it was fair and because the courts here are generally fair. Although we didn't go to court, knowing how the court would rule was hugely supportive in me offering a fair deal and standing my ground.

It's almost impossible to amicably settle out of court, though. There are too many people on both sides trying to stir the pot to get the most for their client. If you're in this situation, you, as a client, need to be very clear about what you are trying to achieve with your lawyer. Their default is to go in guns blazing. I did this with my lawyer, and he only unleashed the nukes when necessary. My ex did not (and for reasons, it was very obvious to me that her lawyer was in charge, not her). It ended up costing both of us quite a bit. Just as one example, we spent five hours paying a private judge, two lawyers, and two accountants to ultimately reach a final agreement. The agreement we reached? The one my side offered in the first five minutes.

Then, even when it's over, maybe it's not. My ex's new husband convinced her to sue me over child support. More thousands in lawyers fees later, and nothing changed because it didn't have a chance in hell.

Macedonia has a large ethnic Bulgarian population by origin. The running joke of Bulgarians is that Macedonians are really Bulgarians with a fake history. It's no surprise, after the split of Yugoslavia, which had many different ethnic minorities.

Eastern Europe is a brewing pot of cultural diversity and history.

Macedonians regularly apply for Bulgarian citizenship if they can prove their origin is from Bulgaria, so as to get a backdoor into the EU, they get a Bulgarian passport. [1]

Eastern Europe / the Balkans are pretty complex. They have been ruled by The first and second Bulgarian Empires, The Byzantine Empire, the Roman Empire, and the Ottomans.

That's because health insurance premiums are actually a tax. You're not paying for your healthcare, you're paying for your healthcare plus the healthcare of someone who can't afford it, such as poorer people or older people.

The ACA limited how health insurance companies could determine premiums by restricting it to just someone's age, which means they can't take into account pre existing conditions or whether or not they're about to have a baby. ACA also forced insurers to not charge older, unhealthy people more than 3x what they charge 21 year olds who aren't expected to use any healthcare.

This means the premiums for younger, healthier people are going towards paying for older, unhealthier people. AKA a tax. Additionally, the nation is getting older and there are fewer and fewer younger people to divvy up these healthcare costs.

See this pdf from NJ showing how the age rating factors work:

https://www.state.nj.us/dobi/division_insurance/ihcseh/ihcra...

The ACA requirement for an out of pocket maximum for in network health care also made it so insurance companies have no ceiling per person healthcare spending, so if someone needs $5M of healthcare in a year, then that insurance company is going to have to pay for it, and it's going to have to come from everyone's premiums.

Bottom line is the amount and quality of healthcare people expect to receive is very costly. So if people want health insurance premiums to not go up so fast or go down, they need to consume less healthcare, lower quality healthcare, or they need to increase the amount of healthcare available so prices of the healthcare go down.

> Initially, I expected to go to Rust. Rust has excellent tooling, great libraries, a delightful community, etc. But after spending about a month on it, I can't say I like writing Rust. Especially, I don't like writing async code in Rust. I like a nice high level language, and that's kinda what you need when you have a project as big as Dark to build. And Rust is not that. I'll publish "Why Dark didn't choose Rust" next.

I'm interested in the next post of the author elaborating a bit more why Rust wasn't an option here.
As I understood, the author has just discarded Rust because wants a "nice high level language" (aside async writing) which is something relative IMO.

I was planning on going down to the states (I'm living in BC Canada), the salaries down there are more than 2x what you can get here. It doesn't look like I'll be able to do that now. With this said, this move by your current administration makes a lot of sense to me, there is an opportunity to grow the American middle class around knowledge work. The United States has the best training institutions and capital structures in the world. They have a healthy demographic profile (they are maintaining their population), there is no reason for them to spoil their own job market with injections of foreign labour. I see no reason for them not to train and hire their own citizens.
