I'd agree that knowing basic arithmetic is important but the issue is deeper in America. The rules and problem type issue is a direct result of uninspired math teaching. Teaching arithmetic for the sake of arithmetic is boring and uninspired and leaves a person incapable of doing both the arithmetic and math. You don't need arithmetic if you have nothing to apply it too. Arithmetic is a tool but a tool without a problem to apply it to is easily forgotten.

Take this from someone who could get through advanced complex analysis but who is also bad at arithmetic. Time plus checking solves all arithmetic issues but arithmetic never solves a realistic problem. Even balancing checks(not that is useful today) if you only know how to computer you'll be at a lost until you know what to compute.
I'd love to find such a clear and comprehensive list covering errors in my own area, probability - here errors usually blur the line between math and interpretation, and plenty of undergraduate errors persist among those of us old enough to know better.
AMP pages are bloated compared to browsing with NoScript and ads blocked. It isn't hard to deliberately beat AMP performance with enough motivation to make it happen. There needs to be an upheaval of ad vendors to make self hosted images without JS viable.
“Trump failing to encourage mask use is an active decision not to intervene.”

I think the disagreement rests on this point. From my point of view Trump has done vastly more than not intervene.

The President of the United States has gactively discouraged* mask usage.

That is why states have decided they need mandates.
Kiwi Browser is the best nowadays. You can install any Chome extension on it.
The evolution of the setup is the thing I'm aiming for. Right now it's plain, simple stupid. But if the progression of challenges is the same this year when compared to 2019, then reusability will come in handy, and a more involved setup might be appropriate. ;-)

Seems like Xenforo and Discourse are the most popular/modern forum software, based on what i've seen on the few forums I still visit regularly.

Discourse is interesting, it allows you to view threads by category, or by a feed where the most recent discussions appear first. Both have social media like features such as status updates and posting on peoples profiles.
Hero worship is an ancient human characteristic. Perhaps American culture amps it up (to wit: superheroes), but methinks the psychological allure runs deep.

Is the total mass of all mined minerals and hydrocarbons more than rounding error in the calculation of moment of inertia?

This would assume that mined materials stay at a higher elevation than they were. And that the materials above those items didn't collapse down and/or aren't heavier than the mined mass.

They can also see the contrast with next-door Russia. The Ukraine is one of the poorest countries in Europe.

The overthrow of the government was effected by armed militias, with a heavy far-right presence (e.g., pictures of Stepan Bandera, the Nazi collaborator who ethnically cleansed Poles from Western Ukraine during WWII). The US government had a hand in picking the successor government - there's even audio of the behind-the-scenes discussions. There was obviously popular support in Western Ukraine for Maidan, but there was also a lot of foreign involvement and the seizure of power itself was violent and unconstitutional.
This article focus a lot on the technical and operational aspects of DNS and DoH, and only a single sentence about Trusted Recursive Resolver and a link.

The trust model in this change for improved security do not sit in the technical and operational aspects of DNS and DoH (assuming we trust the math involved in encryption that we already use for things like https). What the model depend on is the Trusted Recursive Resolver, and if we find those third-party to be more trusted than other alternatives. Mozilla is however not doing much work to convince and explain why that program should be trusted. Who verify that the logs and commitments are followed through? What is the consequences if someone fails? How can the individual user who is giving away their private data exercise control and agency?

In the linked document the only answer that I can find is this: The decision of who to include in (or remove from) Mozilla’s Trusted Recursive Resolver (TRR) program is at Mozilla’s sole discretion.

I personally do not think that is enough for me in regard to my own data. Where I live (EU) I at least got GDPR to use if my ISP decide to go rouge with my data. I also got a contract with the ISP. In additional my country have a few different government agencies that in theory could jump in. Neither of those would be an option if the data is shipped over seas.
Hmm. Could you do this kind of code for a static allocation at compile-time too?
Schrödinger published a very interesting treatise (What is Life - http://www.whatislife.ie/downloads/What-is-Life.pdf) which inspired a generation of physicists to study biology. Biology is still mostly at the early observational phase (similar to physics in the early Renaissance period), although slowly more systems-level approaches are being applied to be able to model biology with the same types of tools (namely mathematics) that have been so successful in physics.

These are platforms selling super polished content from professional production teams. Sure some of the content on YouTube meets that standard but most doesn’t.

My undergrad math classes were in lecture halls with a couple hundred students. The labs taught by grad students were better but would have been more helpful without the exponential confusion added by the lectures that had required attendance. That ended the pursuit of an engineering degree. Thanks George Mason. The economics courses and professors were amazing however.
> children were still the poorest age group

What... does that mean?

I see how someone who cannot (legally) work yet can be poorer than other age groups, but I am sure that’s not what is meant. But is a child somehow deemed poorer than its caregivers? Or perhaps is the child as poor as its poorest caregiver? Or how does that fact appear?

18 GB on-chip SRAM (at L1 latency), they say on the homepage.

Looks like RAM with local compute. Another startup is sort of doing this (Arm cores etched in the usual DRAM silicon process [1]). I wonder if this is a long term trend in computing. It does brings a whole new meaning to "getting the code to the data".

Also, the way to program it seems like it is very rough and constraining. I wonder how our current cushy languages and runtimes would (could?) adapt to that architecture. Would OpenMP even fit the job?

That's certainly true. The rationals (of which BigDecimal cannot represent the whole space) are a 0-measure part of the reals. I would not claim that BigDecimal is an exact representation, which is a fact that should be clear to anyone that tries to calculate 2 * PI in arbitrary-precision finite decimals. Even not considering irrational numbers, BigDecimal cannot handle 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1 correctly.

It might be fair to claim that floats are more inexact - certainly moreso than Rational, but probably moreso than BigDecimal for the numbers that programmers tend to care about.
I love this kind of satire! :)
At this point, it's very much preferable to keep macOS. The bringup for the drivers for that SoC will take a while. It won't all be available instantly.

Note on those Macs that the security settings are boot volume specific, so that you can have a volume with all security off for fun, and still have a completely secure macOS install selectable via dual-boot.
LWN and HN both have ads. They just aren’t third-party ads.

I don't think anyone is trying to make the case that a single stylistic preference impacts readability, but in aggregate many diverging preferences definitely can.

Add in programming styles and a flexible language like Ruby can look like entirely different languages from one dev to the next (Ruby is a very traditional OOP capable language, or a weird but capable lisp, mix the two and readability suffers in new and exciting ways).
I'm using this browser extension to stop AMP: https://addons.mozilla.org/nb-NO/firefox/addon/amp2html/
It's how the combination of the three encourages you to do things if you want to have a site with rich content. You're supposed to paint the page ASAP, so you don't want to defer loading any large content, but then you're not supposed to have the page layout shift around at all as you dynamically load all that content later, so you've got to do clever things with placeholders and swapping out content and whatnot. You've got up to 4 seconds to load all that stuff, which is enough to load an enormous amount of data over a fast internet connection, so much so that the same amount of content might take minutes to load over a slower connection. Fortunately, they've chosen methods for measuring that metric that are heavily biased toward measuring the experience of people who have 24/7 access to broadband.

So, yeah, Google may want to encourage a nice Web experience, but they don't want to back this with metrics that might discourage people from sending too much business in AdSense's direction, or fail to favor Chrome over alternative browsers.

Aren't the Ruby semantics clear about what happens in both of these cases (return values of methods and assignments) and hence it was the coder's choice to leave that as the return value?
When the first iPhone came out in 2008 Apple's rabid fan base came out just to keep saying "why would anyone ever want MMS and copy/paste?" It really didn't make any sense... I would have been somewhat interested in buying one if I could afford one, so I wasn't a hater.

> I also hate the difference in cmd, alt and ctrl keys from other keyboards.

It's a matter of habit, and super easy to configure from the keyboard preferences in macOs. The trade-off is that ctrl is almost exclusively used for unix-y thing, and all the usual GUI-y things use Cmd. Using a shell is just painful for me in anything other than macOS for that reason alone.

Incidentally, because of the pervasive support for readline shortcuts in all text inputs, del is just ctrl-D.

AMP makes images a PITA [1], often it's much easier to omit the image than deal with the extra production cost and effort.

I did the switch for my personal laptop when Apple added the touchbar. Telling myself about the same reasons plus the price tag.

I already had a Windows Desktop for game, and for the first time in the Windows history, I really liked what they did with windows 10. They also seem to be more invest in pushing the platform forward. And contrary to the popular opinion, I do believe in convertible devices. Also, I told myself I can also run Linux for development.

I then bought an HP laptop with similar spec than the MBP, for about 500$CAD less. Seem like a real save, but god I was wrong.

The fun with Linux lasted for less than a month before I just gave up.

The consistent (across all apps and terminal), powerful default emacs key bindings on the macs is a gem for programming and productivity. I miss that all day.

The touchpad is mediocre, they are all mediocre, never saw one working as good as the MBP. Even when someone told me that they're working great and let me try it, it was clear they never work with a MBP or don't use it that much.

Native apps in general, like photo, video editing, notes etc. are more polish and perform better on the mac. Web app though is quite different. icloud.com is terrible compare to onedrive.

Resume, battery life, screen, even if the tech specs sheet says it's the same, it's not in real life.

It's hard to put a price on all that, but at the end, I didn't save 500$ in value, I lost way more than that. Moreover, comparable specs, innovative devices like the surface line, are now price about the same.

You're still misrepresenting international law, though. It's not as ephemeral as your portray it, most of it is based on existing treaties, declarations, and agreements, and the rest of it is also not arbitrary but rather based on convention and customary procedure among states.

There is a reason why countries like the US and Russia go at great length in arguing that what they do is not violating international law in cases when they are actually breaking it.

Moreover, even those states who occasionally break it most of the time conform with international law and resort to treaties and conflict resolution mechanisms associated with them. It's not as if Russia (or the US, for what it matters) ratify no international agreements at all or always break them or completely ignore international agreements.

Overall, your position is unrealistic and does not reflect the reality of international relations. Countries do not just do whatever they want out of a position of power, and for most part even those that break treaties, agreements, and habitual rules of conduct only do so as an exception to the rule. I can assure you that Russia cares a great deal about being recognized as a rational and reliable actor rather than as a mad rogue state.

What you say about the morality of states (whatever that means, to me the concept is meaningless) is clearly just your personal opinion, so let's ignore that.
It would be nice if Google gave an option to disable AMP. I don’t have any philosophical objection to it, but too often it causes rendering glitches and other annoyances on my iPhone. It also makes it annoying to copy the link if I want to save it or forward it etc. The performance increase is from AMP is pretty marginal and not worth all the hassle for me.

They should probably add 2 or more cameras there and combine them into a superresolution image. There's lots of space for that. You could do cool 3D effects too.
The corresponding paper is very interesting: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2010.03660.pdf

Particularly the SpMV CS-1 code listing on page 5, and this comment (in section VI.B) about accuracy:

> The measured normwise relative residuals with mixed and 32-bit are shown in Figure 9. Up to iteration 7 the mixed precision implementation tracks the 32-bit, but then fails to reduce the residual further. With this precision, machine precision is about 10^−3. We have observed this accuracy for very well conditioned systems. Here, the growth of rounding errors during the iterative solve explains the loss of an additional factor of 10, leading to a plateau at a relative residual of 10^−2. We have not yet tested whether this accuracy is acceptable in the MFIX code.

> We expect that for some realistic situations, mixed precision solvers are usable as is; in others they may need to be coupled with a correction scheme such as an iterative refinement or an outer iteration that solves a nonlinear system; and in other situations one may need to use higher precision arithmetic

[MFIX is the NETL CFD described in the article]

It feels a bit odd for the authors to declare the 200x speedup over fp64 runs on Joule, followed by "we don't know if these results at a lower precision are acceptable."

very cool stuff regardless. 18 GB of SRAM on the same (very large) chip is insane.

I don’t think so - you can only use static functions to declare static variables. But you could do it with a macro. It’s debatable whether that would be readable and predictable, though.
This was a solid randomized controlled study showing masks don’t protect the wearer. That’s a good start, and it’s important that everyone understands that mask are not protecting you when you go outside. People should not feel safer by putting on a mask. And if masks give people a false sense of security then that can do damage by encouraging behavior that would otherwise be avoided.

Beyond randomized controlled studies, we obviously have very strong observational worldwide evidence that even high incidence of mask wearing is not enough to prevent a seasonal outbreak. You basically need an island nation with strict border controls to do that.

To me the big remaining question around wearing a mask to protect others — since I can’t see how that’s something that can be tested in a randomized controlled study — becomes a materials science question of how these homemade masks dampen the spread of larger particles versus potentially aerosolizing smaller particles.

Was there ever any scientific study of the effect of non-surgical masks on aerosolizing the virus? I recall reading an article specifically warning against for example bandanas, or basically any single-ply cotton could actually amplify the spread.

Lastly, if some people who have mild symptoms think it’s safe enough for them to go out because they are putting a mask on, it’s likely to tilt the overall balance of help vs. harm decidedly against masks.

In short, the question isn’t really just whether surgical mask use by the general population can somewhat reduce the R factor — you’d like to think that it could, although scientifically this has not been proven and many studies show otherwise.

It’s first about homemade masks used haphazardly by the general population, and secondly it’s a behavioral question of what happens if you tell people to wear a face covering and they reasonably assume that wearing one would be somehow helpful.
One thing to factor in here is that the MBA isn't cross-compiling. It's a RISC compiler writing RISC code.

To be clear though, it doesn't matter in the end if the _result_ is more productivity. But it is worth noting that under the hood, the comparison is not entirely apples to apples.

I could not stick with the new Firefox for Android for more than 1 day... they didn't even implement something as simple as keyboard shortcuts (I understand that they have their priorities, but there are so many reasons why Fennix is worst then the previous engine Fennec, not sure why it was released in Alpha state as a finished product (did Google pay them to do this, IE: if you cripple your browser, I'll buy you a yacht)).
