That's great, until Doordash or Uber eats is having server problems. (Like Uber eats is in my area. Right now. When we're having an online lunch meeting, and the management bought everyone lunch for the meeting in the form of Uber Eats vouchers, and several people cannot get their food because the drivers can't talk to the servers for a couple of hours so far.)

Who has time? I do, when I'm on a date. Takeout isn't the same. (When you're married, you can get takeout and take it home, but that's... kind of lame.)

Also, when it's bad weather (hot/cold/rainy), takeout leaves me with the question of where I'm going to go to eat it. Not to the park when it's 35 degrees (whether Farenheit or Celsius). In my car? That gets old. At home? Where?
It's so cringe i was thinking thats joke at first.

It's not free in America, it's covered by many employer health insurance plans (and probably costs more than $150/h). I imagine many Canadian employers also offer supplemental insurance to cover therapy.

Here's an email I just got:

You're receiving this email because we're updating the YouTube Terms of Service ("Terms") to clarify our terms and provide transparency to our users. These changes shouldn't significantly alter your access or use of the YouTube service.

A summary of the changes:

Facial recognition restrictions: The Terms of Service already state that you cannot collect any information that might identify a person without their permission. While this has always included facial recognition information, the new Terms make that explicitly clear.

YouTube's right to monetize: YouTube has the right to monetize all content on the platform and ads may appear on videos from channels not in the YouTube Partner Program.

Royalty payments and tax withholding: For creators entitled to revenue payments, such payments will be treated as royalties from a U.S. tax perspective and Google will withhold taxes where required by law.

Please make sure you read the updated Terms carefully. The new Terms will take effect on 18 November, 2020 for users in the U.S., and similar changes to our Terms of Service will be made outside the U.S. in 2021. By continuing to use YouTube after this date, you are agreeing to the new Terms. If you would like more information, visit our Help Center.

Please note, if you allow your child to use YouTube Kids, then you are agreeing to the new Terms on behalf of your child as well.
Yeah I think so too. If they can execute from off chip Ram, perhaps with a wait state or whatever it takes, for a ton of use cases no one will even notice.

It will all just effectively be large RAM.

Doing that coupled with a fast SSD, and people could be doing seriously large data work on relatively modest machines in terms of size and such.

A very simple division could be compute bound code ends up being on chip RAM, I/O bound code of any kind ends up in big RAM, off chip.

Doing just that would rock hard.
The alternative isn't that these people get paid, the alternative is that they continue to get their resumes screened and either remain unemployed or go back to the undesirable field they were in pre-bootcamp.

That's the reality for many people. This can help those people- although I agree that it won't help anybody who's qualified to field an offer right off the bat.
Agreed. I work at a company that does 150 Billion transactions a day and it is cheaper being in the cloud than on prem for us. Maybe the variable cost is more but the fixed cost is a lot less for the business.
Still valuable reading, if at least for historical knowledge!
Leveraging ML Compute for Accelerated Training on Mac
I wonder how much parental behavior can improve outcomes, either in the short run or long run. Do kids pick up on parents' habits and mimic them? If a family had strict rules that even parents followed, would kids be more likely to feel that the rules are fair and/or appropriate.

Even if this doesn't work in the short run, it's possible that after kids grow up, they would adopt healthier habits based on what they saw their parents doing when they were kids. I have seen similar things happen with eating habits, where kids initially rejected parental rules but as adults they adopted healthy habits that their parents modeled for them when they were growing up.

"lazily" is probably the wrong word.

For the first release, the approach here is pretty obviously: The minimum changes needed to existing machines to accommodate the M1.

That approach makes a lot of sense because it minimizes the time to market. It puts Apple silicon in people's hands as soon as possible. That's important because the sooner that happens, the sooner the software will be updated for AS.

Think about it: the alternative was to just make people wait for the redesigns, which will take a year or two more.

And the redesigns are coming... judging by all that empty space in that mini, they will be dramatic.
I'll identify as in the "not yet convinced" category on Tailwind (though, I have evolved on other paradigms, which I will now discuss). JSX felt wrong (at first) due to co-mingling HTML and JS, however, I realized that's the wrong application of concerns because 1. JSX isn't HTML, it's a sugared syntax for the React.createElement API and 2. that separation wasn't meaningfully improving my architecture and in retrospect was clearly holding us back. Could anyone evaluate if these are analogous 'separation of concerns' (SoC) fallacies?

I will admit, I think I never fully appreciated the intent of SoC.
I've had times when during a dream, I've heard a melody, and when I woke up, I picked up an instrument and was able to replicate the melody I heard when dreaming. If I can come up with good sounding melodies in my sleep despite being a fairly unpracticed musician, I can only imagine what geniuses in their respective fields are able to figure out unconsciously! Obviously the presentation within the above described dream is fairly dramatic, but that might just have been his mind's way of making sure he remembered it when he woke up.

Not a physicist, but Hossenfelder didn't clarify well that, unlike previous proposed solutions, this one only relies on standard quantum mechanics and general relativity, not strings or LQG. Similar in spirit to Hawking's original approach, which she did mention.

She seems to have a beef with extrapolating (even well-accepted) math, rather than doing experiments. But this kind of work clarifies where the theories clash and break down, how they can work together, maybe even testable predictions.

I wonder if she would have been critical of the Casimir effect, back when it was thought to be untestable.
I think this approach is a bit disingenuous. Her claim is that since we can't directly observe black hole evaporation, we can't know which mathematical model is "correct" in describing the phenomenon and that we're therefore just left with picking the explanation that we personally like the best.

This same argument can be made about a ton of things. For example, we have yet to observe free quarks directly (due to confinement in QCD), but I don't think people are saying that the quarks model is just the one that we happen to find most pleasing. The reason we are confident in the quarks model is because it makes all sort of other predictions that we can confirm.

Who is to say that the various ways of resolving the BH information paradox are indistinguishable simply because we can't observe the evaporation directly? Maybe they make other predictions as well.

Generally, I think that we need to be skeptical of various speculative ideas and in many ways we have strayed off course for a while in theoretical physics, but I don't think the answer is to just explore topics and theories that are completely grounded in observations and experiments.

People with secure tech careers in hard-to-break-into-industries get those careers by being able to work for little-to-no-pay due to their privileged upbringing.

This isn't sour grapes, I am one of those people. This program is exactly the sort of thing I would have taken advantage of because I could.

Hooking your students up with companies is a good thing, but companies should expect to compensate people for labor, even for a trial period when it's on the scale of an entire month.

This isn't in Lambda School's direct power to solve, but the real issue here is companies are entirely unwilling to properly mentor new cohorts of engineers. You're expected to graduate from college/trade school a rockstar and start your new job landing PRs in time for the daily deploy. It's bad for the profession.
> This is probably only relevant to those in the US as I understand MMS is not as prevalent elsewhere.

I've heard this a few times in connection with the Pinephone, but we certainly do use MMS in Europe.

I seem to recall, assuming my memory is at all reliable, that when the iPhone first launched, Europeans were complaining about the lack of MMS and Americans were saying it wasn't a problem because everyone should just use e-mail.
> there are really only two options: Android or iOS

Now, you subtly moved the goalposts here. I'm not even saying you did it on purpose, just drawing attention to it.

Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft, are hardware manufacturers with integrated, proprietary software stacks, just like Apple. Androids are made by dozens of manufacturers, and you can side load, use the App Store of your choice, and so on.

The fact that Play Store does the lions share of business is the sum of: doing a great job, and nudging users in that direction through various defaults. Fact is, you can load what you want on an Android, and to me that undermines the case for forcing Apple to do likewise.

I'd still like the ability to sideload apps on my iPhone, and think it's worth pushing on Apple to get there. But as long as there are general-purpose phones available for purchase, and there are, I don't see the anticompetitive argument in the iPhone being a console: either put up with it or don't buy one.

I'm drawing a distinction between a bad business decision which customers should push Apple to change, and anticompetitive behavior which governments should force Apple to stop engaging in. I don't see the case for the latter.
Can you please tell us what kind of things were discusssed? Not going into your personal details, just general idea would be great.

A lot of people here who haven't talked to a therapist are wondering the same in unison.
Sure you can and you should, right?

But this way you have to write couple of classes more, couple of variables more. And with Tailwind you just define/change value in the config and you have all the classes generated, so the changes are minimal.

Coding is coding. Cooking is cooking. Baking is baking. There may be similar overlaps but each is its own thing. I don't know about this guy's coding but his baking is bad and his analogy is worse. Preheat oven and greasing the cookie sheet are two separate tasks, it'll never be written like together like that. Nobody writes 350 if peanut butter, 325 if oatmeal raisins. (Perhaps 350 conventional 325 convect). Despite the fact the preheat to 350 is probably the most frequent directive, it's repeated in every baking recipe ever, code re-use is not a thing. Why? because it costs nothing to print and it costs nothing to adhere to a one-line direction. Nobody omits the "preheat" line, even though it's understood that every recipe follows this. Has this person read any cookbook other than ones in the local papers? Recipes have changed drastically over time, eg cooking recipes from colonial America, or cookbooks from another culture. They are radically different from what we know and use at present, and those people could cook and feed themselves perfectly fine. Modern recipe template is an attempt to modify the professional kitchen's mise en place for the home cook. This article is a terrible analogy. An excellent recipe does not follow the modern cookbook's template, it is extremely customized.
No, even anti-matter particles have positive mass. Thus they make a black hole larger when they are absorbed.
This feels like the story of a lot of web tooling: accessibility over all else, especially performance/future maintenance. The fail-fast/move fast and break things culture of some startups bleeds into the aesthetics of tools. Knowledge of tools begins to be confused with skills. Ironically, it burdens new devs heaviest, as they're not able to sort through which concepts/abstractions that tools bring with them are worthwhile, and which are not.

It drove me away from the platform entirely.

“Harper: In your experience of the world. How do people change?

Mormon Mother: Well it has something to do with God so it's not very nice.

God splits the skin with a jagged thumbnail from throat to belly and then plunges a huge filthy hand in, he grabs hold of your bloody tubes and they slip to evade his grasp but he squeezes hard, he insists, he pulls and pulls till all your innards are yanked out and the pain! We can't even talk about that. And then he stuffs them back, dirty, tangled and torn. It's up to you to do the stitching.

Harper: And then up you get. And walk around.

Mormon Mother: Just mangled guts pretending.

Harper: That's how people change.”

What does this mean?

As I understand it, all vaccines ever do is provide you with a prepared immune system for when you do get infected.

Running a minority candidate who shares your politics is a good way of deflecting (or even co-opting) a lot of 'woke' criticism. As true in Thatcher's day as it is with the supreme court today.

There is a lack of evidence for the effectiveness of masks during surgery, and they aren't always mandatory to wear:

The market will actually tend to equal pay for equal work: this has already happened in numerous industries in the form of layoffs of people in one expensive location to be replaced by people doing the same work in less expensive locations, until people doing the actual same work, including notably dealing with the same kind of constraints, roughly have the same pay whenever/wherever possible.
There are of course a lot of variables in what makes company consider that 2 people do "the same job": sometimes, a company will value a certain proximity of a team, which you could interpret as considering someone further away from where the team is based cannot actually do "the same job".
Either way, there is no reason why geographically-independent jobs should not end up aligning to some global, geographically-independent wage... and as always, this will not benefit those who are highest-paid doing said job...
She said that

> In my opinion, the black hole information loss problem is the most overhyped problem in all of science, and I say that as someone who has published several papers about it.

So I'm not sure that she thinks it isn't worth studying. I think she thinks it isn't valid to declare that something "solves" it, though.
I personally don't drink much (a small fraction of the average alcohol consumption) but I disagree strongly with that wording. While it may not be wrong scientifically speaking that there isn't any level of alcohol consumption with no negative effects whatsoever, using the same thinking you could also say things like "there is no safe distance to ride a bicycle". This kind of black and white approach has absolutely no place coming from a supposed public health authority like the WHO.

Furthermore, occasional, moderate alcohol consumption has pretty minimal risks, all things considered, and eliminating every little thing in your life with low risk would leave you with an impossibly dull existence. You wanna live the safest possible life? Don't go anywhere (cars are terribly dangerous and biking has its risks too), don't have too much of a social life (other people can infect you with all kinds of things, even in normal years the flu kills 700k people/year), don't go near water, don't even go anywhere you might slip (fall deaths kill tens of thousands annually in the US!) And don't even think of running off to a farm somewhere to escape it all (more than half of all workplace fatalities occur on farms!) At some point, you just have to live, dammit, because living life in fear is not living life at all.
I'm a complete layman here, but I would expect that the "prevent spread" is not binary, it's a spwetrum [0,1].

Thus, even if it does not completely prevent spread, if just a part, or even a smallish part, is prevented, that also helps others.

(Same thing in mask discussion. Lots of people dismiss masks because they may not completely prevent an infection; that is stupid, because masks still decrease the probability of infection (and more importantly, spreading to others).
“Google Pay will never sell your data to third parties or share your transaction history with the rest of Google for targeting ads,” the company said.

From what I can tell, nothing in this statement actually precludes targeting ads based on spending. If it did, they would just say that. They only preclude selling the data or sharing it with the ads team. But that was never the model to start with! This is a sleight of hand by Google to cover up what they actually do: profile users and then offer that profiling to other companies in the form of a service.

To put it more explicitly, you can say “I’ll put your ad in front of 20 year olds with an interest in skateboarding” without selling user data or even sharing profile data with the ads team. You just simply get the ads and the target market and use the data to put the ad in front of them.

And doesn’t the fact that Google says they won’t do those things proof that they know their entire business model is super shady and wouldn’t be appreciated by users if they fully understood it?

I have two questions:

1) How much of this behavior is just a young child growing up and clashing with their parents? The author seems to blame the iPhone for their personality change, but it just seems to me that it coincides with a common period of rapid emotional and physical growth.

2) As others have pointed out - why not try and find a better medium between technology and creativity? Seems to me this is just the classic battle between tradition and technology.
