I mean, there was a lot of reason to feel that way. My friends were struggling with DOS and autoexec.bat/config.sys and IRQ settings and sometimes didn't even have sound cards (still remember when my friend's birthday gift was a sound card lol), playing 320x240 resolution games. Meanwhile I was gaming away at 640x480 256 colors, with 16-bit stereo 22khz or 44khz sound. Yeah, we didn't have quite the same selection of games, but we had some damn good exclusives. Bolo, Escape Velocity (and everything else from Ambrosia), Marathon, Battle-Girl, Realmz, so many others I can't remember the names of.
I understand the problem.

I teach compilers at a big university.
And I would love to hire graduates with compiler skills for my
startup, but find it difficult.

There are several structural problems that conspire to keep
students from acquiring knowledge in low-level programming domain like
compilation: a course needs to fit with the rest of the curriculum,
and with student interest. I cannot get students interested in lexing
and parsing, because they hear all day how exciting deep learning and
big data are. Lexing and parsing are deemed solved in the 1960s, a
sentiment I disagree with. In addition, classical theoretical
computer science (e.g. automata and languages) is rarely taught with
enough depths in many universities, so students lack the technical
background. You can cover this in a compilers course (I do) but it
takes time, and the students see it as an ordeal. Compilers as a
subject is not helped by the most widely recommended book being the Dragon Book which is dated and way
too long to be useful for beginners. Compare the Dragon Book with
the material available as introduction to machine learning ... Many of the existing textbooks are also not covering modern compilation themes, in particular JITs, and compilation for multi-core and GPUs. I'd say there
is currently no good undergraduate textbook on compilers. I could probably, with a lot of work, cobble something reasonable together from my lecture notes, but I don't believe in books, I'd like to do a good MOOC, but building suitable software infrastructure requires more work than I am currently willing to put in.

My department tried hard to remove the compilers course, as "no
longer relevant", and "too hard". I threatened to resign if it was not
kept as a mandatory course. For now this worked.
I've been kind of astounded at the number of people I've seen who claim that they won't be taking the vaccine, no matter what.
Your IDE parser will be unusable if it goes bananas while you're typing the characters needed to get from one fully, correctly parseable state to the next.

It needs to be able to handle:

printf("hello");

and also:

prin

and also:

printf("He

It also needs to be able to autocomplete function signatures that exist below the current line being edited, so the parser can't simply bail out as soon as it reaches the first incomplete or incorrect line.
I can think of two in my extended network just off the top of my head. One is a run-of-the-mill general practitioner and the other is a brilliant entrepreneur. And these are people I live near in out here in East BFE.
Wait until they learn about cedar fever. Juniperus ashei pollinates in the winter, starting right about now through February. Pollen levels are still relatively low, but by January the trees explode and people are miserable. Last January they were reporting almost 28,000 cedar pollen grains per cubic meter of air in the Austin area. Misery. Pure misery.

To start a business you need to invest a lot of time (and money), which most people simply don’t have. I have a regular job and no children, and there are so many things I’d love to do but simply don’t have the time for. This is true for most people.

most VCs won't deal with cold calls? I forget the source, someone was asking Sequoia if it wasn't discriminatory to only accept pitches from someone who was already not more than 1 introduction away from a partner (or some such).

they responded that it was perfectly natural to only want to talk to someone who had already made a name for themselves.

personally I'm thinking about getting in the game again, are there other VCs that you can just send a pitch to?

Something approaching a united Ireland might be a benefit from the Cluster FUK. Really the northern bit of Ireland is kind of Irish and it being stuck on the UK a bit of a hangover from the collapse of British colonialism.
Accelerometer drift is a hard problem. You can experience it with VR headsets that have no base station, like Playstation VR. They require re-calibration every 10-30 minutes or so.

I assume that the iPhone/iPad is constantly re-calibrating user orientation using the camera and depth mapper.

I imagine two ways that Apple could make AirPods Max work with Apple TV:

1. Add a camera to the Apple TV. Some people would be uncomfortable with this.

2. Add an orientation base station to the Apple TV and add receivers to the headphones. This will increase weight, cost, and power consumption (battery weight).

It's possible that Apple already added the sensors. Has anyone done a teardown to look for orientation signal receiver chips?
That's a crazy good salary!
I would be very interested to see data and analysis about migration within the US by income deciles. I suspect outside of the tier 1 cities, the biggest migrations for higher income populations are to WA/NV/FL/TX/TN due to no income tax.

This Bloomberg article had a chart showing change in adjusted gross income from 2017 to 2018, but I'd be interested in something going back a few decades.

I played hours and hours of Maelstrom back in the day. The game ran so smoothly. It just a beautiful, seamless play experience.

Any details on what the code was like for these games? I'd love a peek behind the curtain. At the time, it felt incredibly well-polished.

I have no data to back this up but my intuition is that there are more successful start ups that have been rejected by YC than successful startups that have been accepted to YC. Of course this is going to wildly depend on your metrics for success.
Skipping the editorializing and going right to the paper, and I'm quite interested the paper quite notably appears to skip over surveying the tendency for this personality trait to appear- ie. we don't yet have statistics of what demographics have higher likelihood of elevated scoring for this trait. It seems intuitive to me that this would be one of the primary ways to evaluate that this trait is legitimate; why was it so left out?
I figured out the best way to deal with WiFi and sound issues in Linux is to run it as a VM guest. With plenty RAM and fast SSDs it runs more than acceptably well.
The house we bought was a vacation home for a little old couple from Omaha. A remote place on a hill overlooking Lake Travis, 30 minutes from downtown. Amazing sunsets, the weather is in the 60s and 70s in January, the springtime wildflowers are unreal, there's great food, good live music, lots of charming little hill country towns just a short trip away.

Given that the parties are increasingly stratifying along class lines, and the working class is getting redder every year, I'd guess Hispanic immigration will trend in the Republicans favor and outpace upper-middle class migration from the coasts, which favors Democrats.

Of course that would require the Republicans to get out of their own way and stop playing into the Democrats' hand at every turn regarding Identity Politics. So who knows.

This is kind of a straw-man argument. The reason MBA-zation is a thing is because companies are forced to permanently grow and cut costs to indulge investor expectations.

If you hire non-MBAs they will be tasked to do the same thing and you will have the same result.

Change your capital structure, stay private, take as little money from investors as possible and you'll no longer need MBAs to make every single quarter look like a success. However you may not grow as fast as you like.

If you need large capital inflows on a regular basis, you have to satisfy the people that gave it to you.

There are no procedural requirements that i know of, it's how the VAT system works. The only difference is are you in VAT system or not (there are rules when you have to go in). If you are not in the system you cannot offset the VAT but you are not required to collect it also, so whatever you charge you keep . Please give me the example where you are required to collect but cannot offset.
There are per countries some special cases, for some type of items, where the full amount will not be recognized but those are exceptions.

The VW ID.3 has similar WLTP range figures to the Tesla Model 3 and the ID.3 is cheaper.

Some see this as a complete failure, but it does also provide input into the practices that led up to and caused the accident. Rocketry is not limited to the activity between the launch and landing pads.

This is precisely the reason there are so many tests - there WILL be failures along the way. There are at least 7 more such tests in the queue already.
I voted to wait. It's because I'm in an age and fitness bracket where I'm unlikely to be in serious danger from becoming infected, and a lifestyle bracket where I'm unlikely to be infected at all. I expect supply will be limited at first, so someone staring down a lot more risk than I am should get it.
If you voted YES and were able to choose among the available (Western) vaccines, BioNTech/Pfizer, Moderna or Oxford/AstraZeneca, which one would you take? Does it matter for you?
Is there a way to structure a license so that this kind of accounting is much harder?

In Hollywood’s case, it’s pretty clear when movies are making money (same with games to a large degree), but I don’t know if there’s a way for “tool” companies to leverage that.

People show up in new area because its better than where they left and decide to vote for the same politicians that screwed up their old area. Happens all the time as logic is hard.

Of course. I only meant to point out that there are cases sales taxes apply to post-consumer transfers. I would be interested to know what fraction of post consumer sales transactions are indeed subject to sales taxes. You are correct that this does not make VAT inherently superior.
The demographics data behind current polling are interesting: https://i.imgur.com/nu1ZfE0.png

Younger people are much less likely to take the vaccine than are older people. People under 45 years old are evenly split between wanting the vaccine and not wanting it. Black respondents are also much less likely to report willingness to the vaccine, perhaps reflecting historic distrust of the medical system.
easy for me to say yes, nothing seems weird to me about a vaccine helping stop the pandemic with immunity
Those were my thoughts as well. Around the size of a hobby tractor and it will be interesting to see if they can scale it up without losing endurance.

I also feel that 10 hours of battery time isn't sufficient outside of the hobby space. Especially when considering that it probably isn't road legal in autonomous mode.
I think your VAT Regime illustration has a mistake. The $2.40 should be $3.60?
There mechanism to limit RPM on carburated engine, it's called a governor.
I believe it is a phase too. You are right. Perhaps I was wrong to say it is too late. It is definitely a different discourse online from previous decades though.
Not to mention that fields are still plowed by actual horses.
Colleague of the author here. This is an introductory article into the realm of NLP and entity recognition. It gives direction into understanding the field and applying it in real applications.
"High risk" for a vaccine is still a lower risk than that of catching/suffering/dieing from covid. It is a numbers game, a balance between risks. It isn't a magic pill to stop evil in its tracks.

There's both a max number of containers setting and a max concurrency limit per container setting.

FWIW, I do wish Google added some way to more explicitly prevent abuse with the containers. I had to take down my Cloud Run containers because people found ways to automate access to my services without rate limits, and Google's solution to that was to use a proxy which sorta defeats the point of using Cloud Run.

No, that is specific to Oracle. Here's some references [1]. The other day on HN I read a quote: "What is the difference between Larry Ellison and God? God doesn't think he's Larry Ellison". Can't find it though.

This IPO does have a bit of a Cantillon Effect feeling to it now that you mention this.
I suppose. I think it more as a delivery mechanism or ordering portal. A far number of my purchases are shipped by Amazon sold by someone else. I don't think of Amazon as doing the curation I think of when I think of a store. I guess maybe it's a bit of a middle ground.
Just took a quick look to BPD. There seems to be a difference. If I understood correctly:

- BPD stems from a real distorted self image and manifests itself to protect one from abandonment or being left behind.

- TIV uses victimhood psychology to appear weak (or it already feels weak) but, can use this allure to slowly and surely feed itself. More importantly, TID lacks the wild or fierce side of BPD and narcissism. The process is slower and less painful until it ends. The pain is felt when the process is almost over, and the victim is ejected when it's completely powerless.

Even writing this brings memories back. On the bright side, experiencing these kinds of people once or twice is a very maturing experience (with an expense of course).
>> His attempts to grapple with the major issues of the present, especially as they intersect with his personal legacy, are so mired in intuition and incuriosity that they’re at best a distraction, and worst a real obstacle to understanding our paths forward.

> What value is there in group-classifying the 'wrongthinkers', except to save people the exhaustion and torture of learning new and diverse ideas and for thinking for themselves?

I think we probably agree more than we disagree and just took different things from the discussion. The above quotes (one from the article and one from the original comment I replied to) are offered as an example of the sentiment I was replying to. Thanks for the discussion.
Just get a big truck like everyone else and you’ll be fine.
> So you get to decide which are legitimate and which are not?

No, but I get to have an opinion, which I stated. A doctor would be better suited to decide which is legitimate or not.

The condition I was referring to was Trigeminal Neuralgia. If a doctor says that it's okay to not wear a mask because "it's uncomfortable", then okay.

I somehow suspect you'll have difficulty with that.

> Likewise, I can also says your decision to force other to wear mask is childish.

I would agree... If people could be trusted to wear masks.

> You also get to decide what childish and what is not?

No, but I can call someone baselessly risking others lives childish. Probably selfish as well.

> Driving car in the road has non zero risk of killing people too but we do it anyway.

Of course. However, driving has a obvious and very real benefit: being able to move yourself effectively from location to location.

Is avoiding some mild discomfort really a worthy risk/benefit trade off?
Reasons I’ve heard:

- The rushed nature of the vaccines. “Fastest approved vaccine” is not re-assuring if you don’t understand what trade was made for that accelerated timeline.

- “I’ll just stay isolated until it dies off”

- “I don’t trust western medicine”

- “I don’t trust the FDA or big pharma”

- “I don’t care if I get covid . People at risk can take the vaccine”

Don’t forget how many people don’t even take the flu shot.
I own several (wired) headphones which are either approaching or older than 7 years and are in perfect condition. Sure, some had the ear pads or a cable replaced, but just like stereo speakers, there's really not much you can do to really break them.
Christopher Lasch argues for the existence of something like this (somewhere between TIV and narcissism) not merely as a stable personality type, but a trend affecting a growing number of Americans. Would be interesting to see longitudinal data, although the tests for "traits" like this are often fairly contrived.
Those are exactly my strengths. Very insightful! Thanks a lot.
"EVENTUALLY" should be an option. I'm low risk and was full time remote even before this. Better to let high risk, health care and service industry people have first go at the vaccine.
This needn't be posed as a hypothetical. There are places, both in the Internet zoo and in the real world, where you can go and look to see what this becomes.
No, I've felt fine after the initial day or so of side effects. With the booster shot, I had similar but even less intense and shorter side effects.

FWIW, I usually get no side effects with a flu shot but others get more so I'm sure it varies person to person.

Not sure how the algorithm works but you may want to look into original sources and copycats. In this particular case it's not a critical issue (just me, some random guy, losing a visit and ad revenue) but at a larger it could be more serious.
You're spot on. I tried React and Vue and it just adds so much complexity for a solo dev. Right now I'm just using tiny bits of JS here and there, but I'm really hungry for something like LiveView that would let me do interactive front-ends while not having to manage state and authentication on the front-end.

If you believe in science, then you believe that experts and authorities can be wrong, and likely are wrong about some things. You believe that it is important to question those beliefs. What youtube is doing is against science.

If you believe in liberty, then you know that more than one thing can be right at the same time. That there is more than one way to do things. What youtube is doing is against liberty.
Torque is certainly important, which is why I was a bit surprised that they haven't released torque figures for this. Just the ever nebulous "twice as much as similar sized competitors"
